Blogger Template "guide"

This post is dedicated to Cheryl Leong.



Well, to change your blogger template provided you have the XML file from external sources, you simply have to go under the "Layout" tab, "Edit HTML" subtab, and upload your XML file. Voila. Be prepared to download and backup your previous template first. You might also lose some Widgets in the process of changing. I did backup for every Widget before I changed.

Note that you don't have to be able to open the XML file. Just upload it.

Happy blogger template changing!

p/s: It's really fun to dedicate your posts to friends! Haha. This is my second and more to come! And by the way, I just realized my first dedication was my 50th post! Awesome.

Reflect. and whine. DON'T whine.

The following post is specially dedicated to best friend Amy Tee.

(Just fragments of thoughts, on my best, arranged into words.)

Life ain't lucid.

You, me, all of us - we're all changing constantly. As I sit here and type this, countless people are dying, tripped, or on the verge of losing something important. On top of that, countless people obtain opportunities, too, or maybe are climaxing - on bed or not, sexual or life, gay or straight, dogmatic or not, verbal or physical, logical or fantasy. Some people believe it's God's will-cum-arrangement; some people believe in destiny - fate; some people say The Law of Attraction counts; while some people just sit back, relax and enjoy the oh so "pathetic" view. (Oh, by the way, trust me, people treat science no different than religions.)

I just sit back and enjoy the aesthetics.

Many people are in search of relationships, sacred or secular, persistent or not. Having watched Sex and The City, I'm gonna ask you a question, which stroke me quite hard like a bullet, came so sudden like a bulletrain. So how's it going? That relationship - your relationship with yourself?

Humans are environmental animals. People mould us into random blends of virtues and characteristics, both them and us remain unaware of it. Well, we unconsciously do that to others too, so I guess it's a chicken-and-egg sort of a philosophy. Often, I have the idea/belief that no-one is smart. None. Just adept maybe. But nobody can do it naturally -what do we even mean by natural? Well I don't have time to give a fuck here, point is, none's genius. Nada. Zero. Poof. Well, if your response is "pfft" then my response is: All those pridogies out there? They're a different race. We, on the other hand, the mediocre layer of humans, the major constitute, are never born to be experts.

One quote I live my life through with: "Practice makes perfect."
And practice does makes perfect.

Okay, maybe not, but practice is what helps.

Sometimes we just hafta let down our fantasies and imaginations or whatever we make up in our minds, observations even, and start toiling and working our uninteresting asses off to get what is labelled as "desirable". I call that: pragmaticism.

Frankly speaking, I used to be so susceptible to flatters I succumb to them and had my era as the most arrogant and ignorant brat. I didn't work hard until real late of my so-far existent life, around high-school. You may say I mature slow. I'm happy I work very hard now, and I'm happy to see hardworking people around me.

Alright upon reaching this point, I'm outta inspirations/thoughts.

Random blabbers for you:

The world is of infinite possibilities. Go. Fly. Soar. Try.

When will we go beyond labels? When we are with friends. Precious.

Sadness won't do any good without happiness. Vice versa.

Oh. Gonna go for dinner now.

Stupid timetable.


Really stupid timetable LOR.
Should I take drop WREL and take PHYS to be full time science nerd, or switch to SOCS for Dr Adnan? +_+

I have absolute zero idea on how to arrange this.

amused by veins

HAHAHA.

I can see my veins. Vaguely. On fingers.

Good thing. Definitely, maybe? ;P

All thanks to Czerny! I finally realized all along I didn't build up the strength and endurance of my ring and little fingers. Even the 1st exercise piece is sooooooo excruciating.

Geez.

The landlady is annoying. Texting me while she could've called. All about rental again. What else? And seriously unreasonable. Freaking told her parents aren't around. Jesus! Still want me to bank in. Frankly, I have absolutely no idea and yeah, no idea how to bank in. (alamak so paiseh)


Another grueling task: compiling information on my prospective universities. Ouch. Thanks to the complex websites.

Gonna consider:
1. U of North Carolina @ Chapel Hill
2. U of Texas @ Austin
3. GeorgiaTech @ Atlanta
4. Penn State U @ University Park
5. Iowa State U @ Ames

GeorgiaTech went straight down to 3rd when I realized their Music Dept is practically non-existent.

さようなら、リズト様。

Jesus, I can't blog.
This typing is gonna hurt my hands more.

Hence, I shall desist blogging for the mean time. It's only for the better, well, I mean, to succumb to my other desire.

i wonder when will i regain my finger strength T^T

Oh well. I guess I have to go technical on practice, and that means goodbye Liszt-mediocre-attempts, hello excruciating, unemotional Brahms and Czerny practices.

im gonna feed my bunny with fish biscuits =)

I miss you Upright Piano. I really wonder if it's because i'm practicing on a seemingly lower piano?

I think I can't keep refraining from playing, or maybe I will use that book as a substitute, but gosh. It's such a pain.

Cello; sexy and beautiful.

The cello is an intensely sexy and luscious instrument.

Ecstatic and delirious!


Ah, final week of holidays. Must finish what I planned: Clean room; Wrap new books; Draw; Read.
Awesome huh. And I certainly must meet up with the Banting gang. S'been so long.

I just bought a compilation of 100 cello pieces from Popular bookstore Sunway Pyramid. Gawsh. The brilliance! Fyi, cello had been the most desirable instrument in my life, despite the more versatilities of piano and violin. Geez.

Awesome, now 2 CD sets to bring to Subang for my leisure enjoyment. Sweet.

"No Excuses" (Justine, 2009)

I've made decisions (something I certainly do not enjoy) and I'm gonna work hard.

Enough said huh.


I really hope to maintain the humble part of me, and not let those egos take over anymore.

I need to be enlightened always.

Holidays, I'm gonna treat you good! When you end, I'm gonna pick up every piece of me all over the place.

全然分からん、でも、頑張ったね!(I don't understand, but, let's just work hard for it!)
