Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)


Our
character…is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have
and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.

George Santayana (1863 - 1952), "The German Mind: A Philosophical Diagnosis"

 

Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.

Ambrose Bierce (1842 - 1914)


I can’t criticize what I don’t understand. If you want to call this art, you’ve got the benefit of all my doubts.

Charles Rosin


The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever.

Anatole France


The only thing wrong with immortality is that it tends to go on forever.

Herb Caen

Immortality. I notice that as soon as writers broach this question they begin to quote. I hate quotation. Tell me what you know.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

He
was a genius - that is to say, a man who does superlatively and without
obvious effort something that most people cannot do by the uttermost
exertion of their abilities.

Robertson Davies


Men of genius do not excel in any profession because they labor in it, but they labor in it because they excel.

William Hazlitt


Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.

Thomas A. Edison


Male
and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in
fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to
solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no
purely feminine woman.

Margaret Fuller


For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.

Virginia Woolf

Just plain bored… That’s all… ~_~


~_~ speechless, truly >.< speech is uncommon in time of boredom…

It’s 5.17 a.m. Should be sleeping,
Or others should already be awake by now.
Geez…

I can’t wait to go back home to Sabah… It’s a total boredom here >_>

*sigh*

Bubbye.. *eek, silly post*

Html/CSS

Posted on April 22nd, 2005 in Weblogs by dym-dym

I wonder, does html/CSS works here in friendster’s blog? -_- As if anyone would want to answer that… Oh well, but it’s kinda weird. They should’ve at least let us design our own blog’s layout & stuffs. n_n Anyway, I’d tried putting my own background just now, and it actually works, but then after I deleted it, it’s gone and not working anymore…

@_@ I’m bored … lol… I really need to buy food for the kitten and the mom soon, or they’ll send up starving. Mwahaha… Yeah, pity them. Since we’re not cooking at house anymore, there’s nothing to feed ‘em kitties. @_@ Even the neighbours had been feeding them with junks. I mean, who would feed "Twisties" to cats? -_- Suprised, but true… Some people here do feed "Twisties" to cat. *sigh* Not only it is very, very salted, lots of MSG, and considering it’s not a proper cat’s food at all, I think that person is really @_@….

Oh well… I’ll be buying kitties’ food later. n_n… I have 2 cute lil kittens now. Mwahaha. And the mom is just as pretty. I have their pics, but I haven’t upload it here yet. (I"m too lazy to do the scanning & stuffs #_#) Mwahaha…

Thank you to Veeky, for her advice on the kitties. ^_^ If you’re reading this, Veeky, have fun at Kuching.. and enjoy your work too. Hehe (Hmm, it seems that it’s only me that doesn’t work this hols *_*) Hehe…

Oh yeah, Donald aka Don Don ^_^ called me just now. Good, he’d succeeded in waking me up quite early today. Mwahaha… He’s such a good friend. Still with his conveyancing job, and studying law at a college in Sarawak. >.< He seldom call or SMS me now… Yeah, since he got a girlfriend ^_^ Hehe.. Sadly I won’t have a chance to meet him in the near future..

I’m going to Kuching on 8th May n_n Woot… Mwahaha… Let’s see how Kuching looks like.. Hehe. I’ll make sure that I’ll meet all old friends there. So, you all be prepared ar… Hehehe.

Oklah, that’s it lar.. Bubbye…

Feeling better

Posted on April 21st, 2005 in Life by dym-dym

Woot ^_^ I’m feeling better now ^_^ No more blocked ears. Yay! Just slight bodily temperature change now and then, a lil coughing, and a lil nose blocked. Ugh, gross… ~_~

Mwahaha… But it’s good to feel normal again. Erm, yeah.. I’m not normal these past few days. Hehe

My monitor was acting like a jerk. -_- It’s silly and some what frizzing. Err… I don’t know how to explain it. Anyway, I got a ‘new’ monitor. Mwahaha… Felix lend it to me, since he’s not using it anyway. So, despite this ‘new’ monitor that looks small and weird (14" without its stand & not a flat screen), it’s better than my old one.. Hehe. I can now play games (Neopets) without worry now. Mwahaha….

Current Mood: Happy; Current tummy-awareness: Bloated; Current Weather: Hot… n_n Yup, that’s about it. I really don’t know what else to write here… Erm…

Okay, yesterday was one of my friend’s birthday in Neopets. It’s Jesse’s birthday! Or, caliax, as his username is. Marianne and the others bought him a Lord Kass plushie. That’s 350k np! But I didn’t join them though. I bought Jesse a Crystal Eyrie Sculpture.. It’s so pretty. Average price is at 50k-100k, but I managed to get one at 30k. ^_^ Erm, well… Only those in Neopets would understand this I guess ;p

Erm, well… Okay… My life today… Nothing much, really. Woke up at around 1 p.m. (Yeah, I slept at around 4.30 a.m. last night)… I can’t really sleep well at night because of my blocked nose anyway. Then I turned on the pc, took my shower, cooked fried bee hoon for lunch, made some graphics and user lookups for Neopets, felt bored and doing this now. Hehe…

I think after this, I’m going to play some games in Neopets, to get the avatars. Hehe. Ok lar… That’s it for now. Bubbye n_n

Flu & Fever 2

Posted on April 20th, 2005 in Games, Life, Neopets by dym-dym

*sniff* *sniff* Ugh, the flu is worse now. My ears are blocked and my nose is blocked. *sniff*

Hehe… It’s good to know that someone is reading and commenting on my silly posts. Thanks, Atlas. n_n Dean Koontz is my favourite author since secondary school. I love all his writings. It’s suspenseful and thrilling. "Door to December" is my favourite! It’s all about imagination and believing the impossible, because the impossible is really not far from logic.. -_- Okay, what am I saying here? ~_~

Oh well… Let’s talk about Neopets ^_^ Erm… well… I don’t know why it is addictive, but it’s just is. Hehe. For a beginner, it is always advisable to start off with just 1 pet (you can have a maximum of 4 in an account)… But when I first started, I had 3 pets. lol… It’s like taking care of your own pet in real world, but with lots more fun things to do. Hehe.

Well, you can choose the pet’s species that you want by browsing for more neopets or just click the view all button… Then, you are ready to start. Remember to click on your inventory to get your newbie packs. I think there are starter paint brushes included in the newbie packs, but it can’t be sold or trade, or give away. Paint brushes are very special in Neopets… Mostly everyone would want to have their favourite pet painted in their favourite colour. Well, eversince I first started, I always dream of a Faerie Wocky. But a Faerie Paint Brush is so expensive! It’s around 700,000 np. (np= neo point @ the currency used in Neopets)

To make np, there are a lot of ways - easy and hard, you decide… Usually, people will start with playing games. Oh, I love the games there. There are over 200 flash and non-flash games there. For each score sent, you earn yourself neopoints. Not only that, but if you manage to get a high score, you may even win yourself a trophy. The glittering trophy would look so pretty in anyone’s lookup. Then, with the starting neopoints in your hand, open up a shop, and restock from the main shop. Restocking and reselling is a very competitive business in Neopets. It’s the same like doing a real business in a real world, only with less hassle and easier profit.

Then, invest your neopoints in the bank to get your daily interest. Or even better, invest it in the Stock Market. ^_^ Lots of patience is needed here though. People can make millions out of one stock if they’re just patience enough n_n

Other things to do in Neopets is of course, to feed your pet, to groom them and to play with them… Another alternative is to put your pet/s in the NeoLodge (something like a hotel) and there… You don’t have to worry about their food anymore. ^_^

Collecting avatars is another obsession is Neopets. lol… I just don’t know why, but it is rather addictive… lol.. Avatars are cute, and it represents you when you’re posting or chatting in the Main Board or in the Guild Board. Some avatars are very expensive, some may cost up to 25 million np. But that’s what keep people saving for more np…

Other interesting things in Neopets are NeoQuest and the BattleDome. NeoQuest is like any quest games - like Ragnorak Online (RO) but a lot simpler and different graphic of course. ~_~ The BattleDome is a fun place too. You can train your pets to be very, very strong and let them fight the villain in the BattleDome and earn yourself a trophy. Or you can have a friendly battle with your friends to see who’s stronger or more skillful ~_~ Mwahaha… Again, prior warning, good weapons are very expensive.

Currently a war is coming soon. A war between the Maraqua and the Pirates. So, there’s going to be so much fun and excitement in the BattleDome. The downside is… Weapons and codestones used to train pets are getting much, much more expensive. Yup, inflation is evading. Just like in the real world… When the wants is so much and the supply is limited, that’s when the prices skyrocketted.

Well, enough ramblings for now. Hehe. I could go on and on about Neopets… *hmm.. I wish I can do so in exams too* -_-
