Chasing After Rainbows

Drawings that you see here and those listed in this post are only the exceptional ones. The rest are either did not turn out the way I wanted it to or are just scribbles ( like on the left , shortly before doing this ) that are done when I was bored (and may or may not appear in the image hosting album ). While drawing this, I wasn't thinking of what to draw, so I just drew what I felt like drawing. That's why there is a huge difference between this and this .

The problem mentioned at the bottom left 0f this image that has happened lately is still there. I don't know what the problem is, but I have ruled out things that are already on my other blogs (including one that looks very much like this blog ) but don't face the problem or when this blog is using the classic template. It has been there lately. I think I need to have a closer look at the code. I had also realized that this blog alone eats up a lot of bandwidth as my pre-paid dimishes from 1100 to 8 in less than half an hour of surfing. From now until mid-August there seems to have a lot of activities I am involved at school from my classmates to the 生徒会 to the library. What will happen: Next Saturday (Aug 2), my juniors of the 生徒会 would be organizing something at one of the parks near my secondary/middle/high school. I have no idea what will happen, but would be separated into groups with names from a few popular shows for children. HUH? celebrate birthdays of the people of A

How stuff appears on my blog varies from messy to very nice. Generally, (as at 24 July 2008) what you seen in Firefox 3 on Windows Vista @ 1280*800 pixels with >5MB internet connection is the correct one. (Though a minor variation of the above would not make much of a difference). I have included text in the images, so I shall not explain any further. Here is what you are NOT supposed to see: (IE6 for Windows ME @ 1080*768) Here is what you are supposed to see: (Firefox 3 for Windows Vista @ 1280*800)

I had been helping with the library for the past few months making major changes to it. So major that the library has been closed to the public for more than 2 months, though it's due to be opened by 8 August. Lately, I have been seeing westerners running around my school. I didn't know what was going on until I heard that they are Australians (Brisbane, I think) for an act tomorrow, involving the students here. I really should get around to sleeping at midnight or earlier, but I end up dragging that all the way until 2am. My navigation bar at the top is too large... don't know what to do with it. Tried putting the source code of a .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics) file at one of my earlier posts, but it didn't work. I don't know how to upload an .sgv image file without converting into a .png file or know if there are different HTML tags involved in putting up a .svg file to that of a JPEG file.

I'm aware that I haven't been (directly) talking much about my daily events, so here goes. I woke up very early in the morning, so early that the the sun hasn't even risen yet. I got up out of bed despite the temptation to head back to sleep. I then went to freshen up followed by breakfast. The sun was rising when I left home. I had always wanted to go to school by myself, but my parents keep insisting on sending me straight by car (since primary school), as usual. En route, while navigating through the heavy traffic on the highway, my father would talk to me about cars and mostly stuff that I don't understand or not interested in. Arrived in school about 45min before class starts (15min for the daily 生徒会 meeting). Today was one of the better days, apart from there being a test later in the day. For the test though, I actually find it easy than the usual I-don't-know-how-to-do-this-but-will-do-anyway test. At lunch, despite it being crowded, I actually managed to fi

Lately, you might have noticed that since mid-July this year, I have used vectoring instead of drawings using the pencil . The main reasons why I'm moving away from drawings is that it looks a lot better than the scans of the drawings and also, they take up far less space than the raster (non-vector) version. An average .svg (Scalable Vector Graphics; viewing the file is supported in Firefox in Safari) file would take about 200KB while the scanned version would take about 2MB, on top of creating a copy for editing and uploading that can get troublesome if I were to edit it later on. Of course, I didn't do vectoring without any prior knowledge about it. Here is one of my earliest known ones I have done one of that was made exactly 2 years ago: Well, it isn't exactly vector because it was edited with Microsoft paint, but it was when I did the outline. It doesn't seem much here, but I had a nightmare editing the shoe and the bag as the resolution of the original was bad.

(let's pretend the previous post never happened) There are so many things that I want and so many things I have to do that would take place from now until the next 5 years. On top of that, I have to manage a lot of the existing things I have to do that are stacking up like a mountain. So much so that I don't know where to begin or how do I go around starting it. For grades in school, I have yet to score marks any higher than the current 40-55% I always been getting. Achieving a 70% (let alone 90%) is an uphill task to achieve. Everything around me seems to fly by like a year passed by in a flash. My reaction time is slow, so I need more time than anyone else to catch up. Another uphill task is learning another language that has a completely different writing system and pronunciation of words all the way until at a native level in addition to the above. I'm not sure if this will happen, but my parents (and possibly my elder sibling) would emigrate to somewhere. Not sure whe
