How To Change Your Header In New Blogger

This post is dedicated to Odie

With the new blogger, you don't need to mess around with complicated html or css to get change your blog's header. It only takes 2 easy steps and your finished design.

Step 1

First, you go into your blog's dashboard and click layout. You'll see something like the above picture. The long rectangle at the top labeled (your blog's name)(header) is the thing you should be looking out for. Click on edit

Step 2

Then a new window will open that looks exactly like the above. From here, you can either upload a picture from your computer by clicking on browse or put in the link to your picture if you have already uploaded it to your favorite image host (photobucket, imageshack, allyoucanupload, picasa web etc etc).

Wait for the picture to pop up in the box before clicking on save changes, and immediately your blog will have that new canggih banner of yours that you spent hours designing.

The First New Aluminium iMac in Malaysia?

... and I've got to take a picture with it! *fireworks and the junk*

Thanks to my wonderful VIP contacts over at Macasia, I managed to see it, touch it, take pictures with it, all short of making out with it.

The first thing you'll notice about these babies is that it is fracking thin.

Let me try to describe it to you. Imagine looking at Britney when she was younger (and less hideous) and thinking "my God, she's hot... and look at her, she's just so thin" and then seeing Paris for the first time. Its like every generation of America's slu...ummm...stars, just keep redefining the word thin. Now apply that to Apple and you'll be able to see they have been redesigning their lineup of machines.

The aluminum part feels exactly like how a Macbook Pro would feel, while the back is completely black in color and has a very matte feeling to it. Not really sure what material though. Could be the same as the black Macbooks (I only got to touch it for 5 minutes, so sorry if I can't be more descriptive).


The new keyboard is awesome. Its everything like what I imagined when I saw the pictures. Its really really thin, like thinner than a roti canai thin. Feels good to type on since I've been using laptop keyboards for the past 4 years, but if you're coming from those normal keyboards, it might take getting used to. You've just got to see it.

This is roughly what I felt when I saw it. Didn't get to turn it on, but honestly, the most significant thing about it is its looks. So good enough for me.

A peek into iPhoto '08
Managed to play around with iPhoto '08 and first impressions? Even with the "events" feature, it feels like a downgrade, from the way it handles albums to keywords (floating window vs fixed in '06). But the "events" feature is really cool and seems to be a really strong reason to upgrade.

Final Thoughts
To answer a couple of questions. Do I feel tempted? Yes. Will I be jealous when Pet's iMac arrives? Yes. Has it affected my feelings towards my Macbook Pro? No, it still kicks so much buntut!

Open Your Ears and Come Closer

If you you have brothers or sisters, listen up

Can you please stop being such an uncivilized narcissistic hypocrite and start treating your siblings with respect and love regardless of age, character and personality?

I am sick of seeing people who can't even love their sister yet can dare to say they love their boyfriend. Can do everything for this guy who doesn't even come from the same womb and have the same blood, but can't even just give in a little to the one that did. What is up with you people? We are in families to love and care for each one of them, not fight and bicker over who drives the car, who gets the dress or whatever else you people can fight about.

Worst part? So called Christian. Not asking you to crucify yourself for the world's sins la.. Expecting you to be the more matured one and give in to your little sister also cannot?

Can give everything to your boyfriend. He ask for kisses, can. Hugs, can. Money, can. Understanding, can. Politeness, can. Time, can. Then after a few months (years if you're lucky), dump you for another?

Your sister want to borrow your dress for one night to her prom? CANNOT!
Your brother asks you to help him out with some work? NO TIME!

Why can't you just be a little bit more generous and give your little brothers and sisters a break?

"No! I am older, I have certain rights and privileges"
Please la... It's your right and privilege to give, understand?

So if you terasa by what I'm saying, don't come find me and throw rocks at my front gate. Please go and start loving and caring for your siblings like you should have been doing since they were born.

The Kissing Post

How would you kiss your lovely hubby/lao poh on your wedding day in front of all your family, relatives (which most probably you wouldn't know 90% of them anyway) and friends?




The I'm-too-shy-to-be-a-man-to-give-her-a-real-kiss-so-I-give-her-a-kiss-on-the-cheek kiss?




The deep-sensual-I-don't-give-a-crap-about-how-others-feel-cause-it's-my-own-damn-wedding kiss?




The passionate-45-degrees-hold-her-close-by-the-waist-pushing-her-hips-all-so-tightly to-you kiss?

Happy Burpday Victoria!

Happy Birthday Vic! You have been a good friend since my KDU days and this post is specially for you. I still remember what you and Win got me on my birthday in 2006 and am really really grateful to this day =) Don't worry about your final project so much, just have more faith. Take care and have a good one this year

Tido

Classes have ended for the semester exactly one week before my finals. Came back on Friday after 2 days of late nights and stress-filled days to my bed and got reacquainted with a lost lover - sleep.

Tido cukup cukup dulu, nanti bole blog lebih... Tunggu I ya *hand flap*

Joshua Got BollyWOOD

Assignment due in 18 more hours - 2,000 word research paper
Presentation due in 38 more hours - lots of video splicing and joining, slides

Someone still grumbling that we picked this topic for our research paper
What topic? Bollywood

Wish me luck guys

Please Stop Corrupting...

...my innocent mind.

The Thong passed me this movie recently.

Started off normal enough. 2 little kids who love baseball, one sucked, one amazed... in no way did prepare me for the next 90 minutes of the film.

p.s. Pet, the movie was great

I Survived

Felt so down and out for the whole of last week - diagnosed with an allergy virus, basically sore throat, cough and flu *cough cough* and also all this will always make me feel feverish - which would leave me feeling agitated, uncomfortable and unmotivated if I should try to do any work.

But here I am after my church's anniversary dinner tonight, with a sense of false relief that I managed to get through the week. Why false? Cause it's not over yet for me.

Couple of things I managed to accomplish this week while in this unfit state:

Finished the introduction video for the aforementioned dinner (which looks simple, but it isn't) - took me 24 hours (accumulative) of sitting in front of my mac from conception to production

Finished writing the script for a 5-scene drama for glo to perform at the same dinner - wonderful idea and story by Angela and Lam of course, I just wrote it all out in words.

Group discussions for my 2 big assignments, both due next week

Worship leading in a few more hours at church - no one can replace, so just planning to wing it, I wonder how it would turn out with the way my throat is

Couldn't even update the glo blog, but tried to make up yesterday

Well, its not over for me, even after tomorrow. I have to come back and finish up my final assignment for Visual Comm due Monday and start work on my research paper and presentation on Bollywood for Thursday. It would be so much more easier if I wasn't ill...

Don't get me started on ministry

I need a break if I'm planning to survive longer than just this week

Eternal Struggle of a Young Mind?

"I feel like a failure because I'm struggling to become something, and I don't even know what it is. All I know how to do is to get by. Someday, if I discover my purpose, I'll feel I'm beginning to live" - anon

The Non Sequitur of Film Studies

What is Film Studies?

a) Debates the essence of the cinema and provides conceptual frameworks for understanding film's relationship to reality, the other arts, individual viewers, and society at large (via wiki)

b) Feminism, sexuality and homosexuality (via a certain biased individual)

c) I rather not say because I'm afraid of the consequences

Apparently, the answer is b. Now if you're a lecturer/director/professional in this field, please correct this certain individual. Film Studies is more than just one topic. If you really want to show us the reasons, logic, thoughts, intentions, emotions behind films, show us everything, not just one thing.

I'm sure you believe that everyone is entitled to his own way of life (i.e. homosexuals), than I would like to say that it applies damn well to us straight people as well. Stop trying to preach and convert us.

I do not hate gays or lesbians, but I'm sick and tired of having to hear another sermon in class on how homosexuals rule and how we heterosexual people (straight) are just plain devils.

Pompuan Pompuan Filem Studies

I have to say that I enjoy the Indonesian girls in my class. They are just so zany and fun. They have remained understanding and friendly through all the shite that has happened in the class, props ladies! Cheers
