Chasing After Rainbows

You don't see these buses anymore as at end-March 2008. It has been around since 1988. This picture was found on a New Zealand website dealing with vehicles. 2 other bus models with bodywork somewhat identical to the above are being phased-out with 1/3 of a particular model already done with the last ones in 2010. I have finally figured out on why the width of this blog is so annoyingly narrow if you were to view it at 1024x768 or wider. While I was playing around with the images, figuring out the best position of images, I saw a "page structure" section and saw a maximum width as around 800px (min is 500px). I increased that to 1280px and can already see the difference. Due to the new maximum width and the fact that some of my post titles goes beyond 1 line, I have created a new one that can support 3 lines (at the current font size, which is big). I was supposed to put this up on Monday afternoon, but I had a lot of work to catch up with and stuff I had to do that is me

The image I was trying to put up in ASCII on the previous post . Under the current blog layout, the VLC Player looks nicer, but it's too big. TCMP fits in nicely, but you can barely see it. The ASCII in both players are supposed to be in colour, but when I copied it as text and paste it in the compose mode here, all the colours becomes black. When I put the 2GB micro-SD Card (with adapter) into 2 of the card readers (via USB) lying around, it says that the card is not formatted and asks if I would like to format it. When the format dialog appears, the memory behaves like it's a 1GB (962MB) card. However, when I put it in my mobile phone (without the adapter) or the card reader built into my laptop, it detects the actual 2GB (1.86GB) capacity with the contents displayed. As there was nothing on it, I decided to format it with the 962MB limit imposed. It works, even when I put it into my laptop card reader (though as 1GB, but can format as 2GB).

D.Gray-man is one of the most boring anime series I had ever watched. Other boring series include Neo Angelique Abyss (rated as one of the lowest on anime review sites, some as low as 0.5/5.0) and recent episodes of BLEACH. I don't get how they even became popular somewhere. Must be the lack of better shows aired there. I have just bought a USB (Universal Serial Bus) to LAN (Local Area Network) device as the one built into the mainboard is not working. I don't know whether it's the hardware or the drivers. Since it's connected to USB 2.0, it can only transfer up to 12Mb/s instead of 100Mb/s that it's capable of. As the PC unit was bought secondhand some years ago. Finding the drivers for it was not easy as the company that made the LAN part (Intel) does not provide the dirvers but point out to the company that made the entire thing (Compaq, now part of HP). I went to the manufacturer's website. What made it difficult was I had to provide the model number (which

For once in a long time, I actually reached home from school before 3pm. I normally reach home in late afternoons or early evenings. Rarely late at night. If I were to bring more than 1 bag or carry something that won't fit in my bag, I would take the most direct and the least walking distance to get back. I would also avoid going to other places along the way. If I were to go home around evenings, I would take the least crowded route, even if it means taking 4 buses instead of 1 bus/train to get back as the most direct route is also the most crowded. Travel time ranges from 1-2 hours, depending on traffic conditions and how soon the bus I can take arrives after alighting from the previous ones. On those rare days where my father doesn't send me to school, finding a route that is not full of people in the mornings is difficult until recently. It's the opposite direction of the one where I had to take 4 buses mentioned in the previous paragraph. Just head to the bus stop be

I am tired and sleepy. Was helping my grandparents (along with my aunt, uncles and cousins) to move the large amount of furniture onto the truck.

"Kokoro wo Kaiite" (Open the Heart) I was one of the ushers in the lecture hall controlling the massive crowd yesterday (Friday), who are a year before me / my juniors, for a talk by the section head. During the talk, she mentioned that my seniors had been to places like Perth (Australia), Shanghai (PRC), Beijing (PRC), Guangzhou (PRC), Ho Chi Ming (Vietnam), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Osaka (Japan) and so on. This year she did said that my section could be going to Hong Kong (SAR) in December. (She told my juniors, "Sorry, this is for your seniors. You might be going next year.") However, she also said that 25% would only be able to go, without specifying the reason. Could it be because of the cost? Limited places? Matters like family and (part-time) jobs to attend to? Not interested? Guess we never know... I have signed up for another two clubs, Photography and Library, bringing up the total to 5. This was partly because I didn't like 2 of the existing ones. The
