Launching...10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1...Blast Off!!!

*phew* Finally!!!

I started working on this blog on Saturday (25/10/03), then as I was about to finish the design, my Dreamweaver went crazy and just closed, leaving me with nothing! That's what happen if you never save your work from time to time. I re-did my work and it finished faster the 2nd round. So I uploaded them and then all my beautiful images could not be displayed :'( My geocities account doesn't allow me to pull the images from them. What a headache! Then I spent Sunday looking for a place to store my image. I didn't actually work much on this blog on Sunday. My search was a vain and when I was totally fed up, I suddenly remembered why don't I just see what other people did. It is strange why I didn't get this idea earlier, since I got most of my codes by looking at other people's work. So the image thing was settled on Sunday night (there was fire in a flat nearby that night), but there was still problem with the archive pages. I was so new to this blog thing that I didn't know that I should publish the entire site to get all of the pages working properly. It is always like that with coding. The most irritating problem is usually a very simple one and the answer is right in front of your eyes. Anyway...Everything was finally settled on Monday, but since it was past midnight, I decided to post my first one now, later than on this early-early morning.

I am quite satisfied with how the whole thing looks. It's quite a different design than all my previous websites. It's all blue, very me, and I really like it. I like the dolphins image, aren't they simply wonderful? Too bad I have to compress the image, to have a smaller file size. It makes the quality of the image not as good as it should be, but it's also not really that bad.

I went to Borders today. I think I saw Qing He from Meteor Garden (I don't know his real name). I actually forgot his character name in Meteor Garden and I had to send an sms to 1 of my bestfriend, to ask her. I think it was him, though I couldn't be too sure. He was like what I saw in Meteor Garden. He was with a girl, and the girl seemed quite spoilt, but maybe it was he who actually a very indifferent person :P

Anyway, I accidentally read an autobiography of David Blaine, Mysterious Stranger. Someone just left the book on the bench. It was written that there are actually a few version of the same book, so it's a bit kind of destiny thing on which book you end up reading. I only read some of the interesting pages, and I came to page 110-111 (if I'm not mistaken). I was about to miss it, when I decided to read it anyway. Somewhere in the first paragraph it was kinda stated that I was "meant" to read the pages...and so I wrote the interesting sentences that really drew my attention (reading was allowed in Borders, but I don't know about copying, I was feeling a bit uneasy about it :P ).

Here you go:
You may know me. I know you.
You're a very sensitive type of person. When you were younger you were different from the others around you. You were observant. You'd silently take in situation and notice things about the people in your presence. Your intuition is strong.
You are very caring and honest, sometimes even too much so, but you have great difficulty in letting anybody get to know you. When you finally do let somebody in, you keep him or her close to you for a long time. In fact, there's someone close to you that you're really worried about right now. But the best thing to do is to keep being a positive force in that person's life.
You have a scar on your left knee.

Everything in italic seems about right :P I checked and I don't have any scar on my left knee (I think). Hope I won't ever get one. I tried looking for another copy of the book in the whole bookstore and I couldn't find any...I wonder what other people would read on that page.

Okay...it's been a very long post for a pilot. So 'till tomorrow...whoever you are who might be reading this...I do wonder if anyone would ever read this :P I haven't done a lot of promotion :P
