ignorLAND of its Desires

Backlog...

On 27th March 2009, my friend Linda and me went to volunteer for a drama group. It is a chinese play and we volunteered to be ushers and stuff. Linda's friend is in the group and she asked me if I want to go. The play is in Geylang and it is about Geylang. The food, sleeze and adventures.

The play is played in 2 locations and I am situated at the Highpoint Halfway house. It is a place that helps ex convicts get back on the right track after they are released.

It was great fun.

Music on the blog

For no reason today I decided that I wanted to have music on my blog on the sidebar. Hence I went about figuring out how to do it (from 11pm to 3.30am). I thought they would have a ready gadget to add automatically but I was wrong. After trying out a few ready playlist, I decided that I want just one song and a small player.

First I went to blogger help which brought me to a site but the tutorial doesn't work. After searching on the net for a while, I found a site telling me how to do it but after trying out, it doesn't work as well so it was back to searching the web again which brought me to tips-for-new-bloggers. Every blogger should bookmark this site as it is very good and teaches a lot of thing especially it give the html code which is mostly gibberish to us clueless people. Then with their tips, I went searching for some free hosting sites for my songs. I thought that's the end but I found out that it was really not as easy as I thought and I had to join a few free hosting sites (Rapidshare, FileFactory, Boxnet to name a few) to determine from which site my music will show up. Finally I settled on FileAve.com.

Anyone is interested to add music to their blog and are lazy to go check out the sites should:-

Go to CUSTOMIZE
Choose ADD A GADGET > HTML/WIDGET
In the text box add {embed autostart = "false" height="40" loop="true" playcount="2" src="URL of music file" width="300" / > < / embed}
SAVE
Change the above {} into <> and remove all spacing from code.


The Tips site advised that it is better not to have the music auto start since some people might be reading from their office. But for a start I still put is as auto start. Please let me your comment to let me know which is better. Thanks!!

PS: I will be late for work again tomorrow and I did not do my freelance because I was so bent on learning how to do it!!!

Spaghetti

Spaghetti Bolognese that I cooked for dinner one day for my younger bro and me. As it's for my younger bro (the official food taster of the family), beef and spaghetti is used. If its for my older bro, then any kind of pasta and pork will be used because he and his wife does not eat beef. If it is for me only, then any kind of meat and fusilli will be used.

Verdict: Good.

I Forget

The list of food I must buy for my colleagues for lunch last Friday. As I am very forgetful, I find it better to write it down. But I might lose it or I might forget to look at the list in my bag so its better to write it on my hand.
The list reads:-
Mc Chick
CBM
Tea x 2
Meaning McChicken Meal, Cheese Burger Meal and both drinks change to tea.

In other news: There is a large bruise on my leg. And... I forgot how it got there...

My best guess is:-
A) I knock it on my company recept table
B) I knock it on my bunny's cage door
C) Bunny step on me when I am sleeping
