Links

My new template is under way... You can go here to check out if i added you in my links section. I should take quite long to finish working on this, maybe i'll finish only after i return from india or something. I'm gonna change the pics... When i was editing this post i saw this thing coming up at the bottom: The coonection to blogger.com has failed. Saving/publishing may fail. Wow it's good to know. It went off in a minute or so.

IELTS exam today....

Went for the exam today. In case you don't know, it's an English proficiency test for those who are thinking of studying or going to Australia. It was quite okay. There was listening, writing and speaking with the total marks distributed quite evenly. It was quite fun. The oral part was recorded in an mp3 player! When i was on my way back, i saw this vending machine and decided to buy Lays potato chips. Know Why? That column was in a condition such that if i put in the money, 2 packets would fall out. It was kinda stuck. But when i put in the money instead of the 2 i expected, 3 fell out! I was super-delighted. I felt quite bad too, so i left a Packet inside for the next person and took the other 2. Had to weight quite long for the bus. The thing is that, when i got onto the bus, i couldn't find my ez link card. I later found out that it was 'hidden' deep inside my bag. I decided to pay by cash-a dollar for the long journey. Well, looks like i spent for the extra Lays packet after all... ;)
I'm now preparing for SAT. It's the day after tomorrow, at ACJC. Hope i get there in time, cos the test is quite early in the morning.
i thought of a nice nick name for my self, today: YOu Guess(who), Achooooo...(you sneezed right? say you did and don't argue!) haha...
WoW i didn't know that my blog was so famous. I better change the number of digits allowed below to 4 or something...

EmErGeNcY

Something unexpected happened. I really have to change my blog address.... Dun worry. The next time it may change is after i come back from india. Goodbye now. I'll keep everyone informed. Sorry for the inconvienience caused...

new template layout coming up!

YaY! my experiment worked. Ya... you can click on the link below to have a peep. But it's going to be totally different, now that i've managed to succeed in applying a blogskin template to my test blog. i'm gonna change the pictures to give it a mathy look. Just wait...
btw, if you encountered the same prob as mine, blogger beta accepts blogskin html codes if it is in the classic mode. Jus go to the template tab n look below, you should know what to do next.
oh ya... I've been listening this song quite a lot of times. Esp during the exams since the radio station that i was listening to plays it several times a day. It's nice,here: (this video was tested on my test blog before appearing here)

Hope you enjoy it:) off to sleep now. I must really mug tmr

1 more thing... i'm just gonna have this thing fixed. I shall declare it here and now: I am NOT going to change my blog address anymore, cos it's now way too famous than i thought it would be at his point of time. SO, abt the math problems, i'll just put the ones on the front page next time lar... NOW i've to go all out to publicise my blog before i go off to india.

new hp

Saw this in Katrina's blog and just wanted to do that same. This is the 'elaboration' i owe you all on the new hp(ref: my first post, i think)

Good bye Sony Ericsson (same colour as below)

Hello Sony Ericsson K610im(same colour as below)

getting started:

Studying for IELTS now...I Learnt this when i was typing this post:Always save your post as a draft after you've typed about 3 sentences. Practice it! You may never know when it is useful. I wish google can bring in the automatic saving thing to the blog posts. They have that thing for the gmail.
Guess I've to do the marathon without much training. Played badminton today at school, and did some math after that. Anyway, it's going to be interesting to note how i feel after the 42km. Hope i can get home to blog( i mean not to the hospital). Everyone(except me) seems to be expecting everything to go well. If anyone wants to send me messages, please send them before 3am on 3rd of december. Wait a minute... seems to be a lot of 3s. If you add up the 1 and 2 (of december) you'll get another 3! hmm... interesting.
Anyway, I browsed through some blogskins yesterday and today. I am no longer looking for a mathy one, since i now know by experiance that the probability of finding such a skin that fits my needs is very low. I'm just looking for one that has the posts, tagboards and stuff on different pages and has a window of decent size. I found about 3 yesterday, the html code didn't fit into blogger nicely. I got a lot of missing end-tags message. I roughly know what it is talking about since i fixed that once, but even that didn't seem to work. I'm currently trying things out in my lab. Yeah, go on and click it, it's a link. Just don't tag me saying that it looks nicer than this blog- i know it does. okay.. back to studying.

ChesS madness

After several times of postoning and preponing it, i decided to meet Chiris today at school canteen. He agreed to teach me chess. I vaguely remember playing chess when i was super young. I dunno if i was good at it, but obviously, now i am not. Chiris was very kind to me: Apart from just teaching me how to play chess, he bought a magnetic chess set! I thought he was going to bring in ( and bring out) his own chessboard and so i was pleasently surprised. Should have bought him a drink or something...nvm... i'll have another chance to do that, i hope. i took down some notes. It was quite a mouthful of stuff to digest and that resulted in him winning everytime we played after the teaching part. But it's okay, because the playing helped me to memorise the moves so that i'll think better each time.
Met with Yi De and some other guy who seemed to be looking for him. Guess they met up to go to the school gym, but apparently it wasn't open because of ltc(i wish i voulenteered as a facil for it, but i think i shall do that next year. Any way my mom wouldn't allow me too, even if i wanted too.) I'm still looking for my a-level question papers. I managed to collect back everything except the s-papers, which is a good thing. I wish i continued to stay back that friday, because the papers mysteriously disappeared that afternoon. I was in library that day, mugging for physics-S, and decided to go home (i didn't come back) for lunch. I checked the room that morning and the papers were still there. Now, the office and those incharge couldn't explain the papers' dissapearence.
Dunno if i said this yet: I'll be sitting for this IELTS(needed to enter australian unis) exam this 30th and the SAT(needs no intro) on 1st and 2nd dec. I've to prepare for them too. That's an another reason why i can't afford to spend much time on my blogskin...

-ve

boy, i just panicked for a moment there... thought i couldn't log in... but i was actually trying to log in into normal blogger, not the beta one. well, today was quite a negative day, not that i was negative charged by an electric shock, but i went out a lot today with my mom and met a lot of ppl. As usual, when i meet new ppl, i'm always either super enthu or super quiet( it just depends on the time and the location, not so much the person...). I was super quiet today, so didn't get to talk a lot, and i was thinking of buying myself a new adidas shoe for going to india, but forgot to bring my race confirmation slip that will allow me to get a 20% off discount. SO i had to return back home... and what did i do at home???

i was transferring all my contacts from my phone to my computer. yes. ALL 180++ of them. Boring, repetitive and uncreative jobs like me really tend to put me down. Guess i've to do some math to get my mood up a bit.maybe a differential equation??? oh ya... i did some searching for a blog skin too. Iam getting quite tired of it. Just can't seem to find a mathy one that i want.i guess i have to resort to designing one myself. But i don't like putting thighs off, especially at this moment cos i dunno if i'll get internet access in india like everyday. i'll be busy preparing for iit. i 'm also thinking of learning driving and learning some programming. it'll be cheaper there. I'am putting up this things-to-do list on my blog, just ignore it. I must stay positive till marathon. it depends a lot on your mind than your body, you know? try it! jus go for a 21km, and you'll know.. yes you! shut down your computer, go out and run! haha... umm.. not a bad ending for today's post...=)

marathon entry pack & my blog

Went down to suntec to collect my entry pack... the bag they gave for this year was really cool. The organisers have beeen giving shoebags for the past 3 yrs(or longer than that, i've only been taking part for 3 years). But this year was a sling bag, that can be transformmed into a handbag-kind-of-bag. When we (i went with Leonard, remember?) were walking out, i managed to spot a place where they were giving out free goodie bags for early birds(1st 500 for the day). Since we were very early, we got one of those too. Lucky i spotted it before we got off. It was quite difficult to spot that early bird goodie bag counter and so, the queue wasn't that long. In fact, when we went in, the queue length was 2.5(me, Leonard, and another guy who was walking off. And yeah, i remembered to get myself a bus ticket. I'm only worried that i may get there too late... see my race starts at 6(considered quite late... 5:15 would be okay) and i'm going to board the bus at the nearby stadium at 5. This means that i've very little time for warm ups...But i am not too worried about it now, mainly because last year, i reached the stadium quite early and they let me up into the earlier bus AND it wasn't even half-filled! Hope i won't be screwed up this year...

Here a pic of my BIB no.










Wave if you see me okay? say hi or something: i'll need encouragement, doesn't matter if it comes in at the 1st or the 41.195th Km... that's all for today, i guess i'm still having trouble with my blogskin...I've signed up at blogskin.com, but i'm still browsing through. saw some interesting ones, but i want to create one myself. dunno how.

testing 2

hope this works....

wait.... no it doesn't. same problem...
WoW! i did sth and it din't make a diff???? lemme try sth else...


okay.. it was a set at some pacific time zone... now it's fixed..yay. now for the template...

time zone problem

it IS wrong... it's 2:31 pm now... i'll try to fix it and one more thing: it's 25th nov today... i'll fix that too..

testing 1

the time sown below seems to be wrong... just realised. another test...

Testing

This will be quite a long post, considering it's just to test. Before this i was working on those numbers that you see up in you address column. I was just testing this Blogger system out with an old e-mail address of mine, yoga2002@lycos.com (guess you don't need me to tell you how old it is...). It was really impressive. I can change every single thing(apart from my name, of course) that has to do with this blog! the address, template...i'm still having trouble with the template. see, it's now 2am and so i quite tired, especially after a month(nearly) long exams(incl 15 hours of maths). My brain is not in a position to get creative and choose a nice looking template, or WORSE, design one. So i just chose one that got itself downloaded first.

THIS BLOG ADDRESS IS GOING TO CHANGE. As i said, i'm still working on cubic equations, having finished the other three. I'm trying to tie in sequences and cubic equations together and it's kinda difficult. I'm also thinking of including another one

Today-new hp, went to temple to pray for exams, chat with friends, try to chat with friends(i like this one... haha...), AND this blog. i'll elaborate on these later. I'm meeting up with leonard tmr to collect my marathon entry pack. I'll have to elaborate on that too...wow.. looks like i've a lot of blogging to do... think i better force myself to sleep(music works for me) to avoid taking the wrong bus / train tomorrow.
i've to remind myself to get a bus ticket for the race day too. hope i remember.(if i don't i'll probably have to go back on sunday)
