Adjusting template is such a big deal...

A pinch of humour to spice up your daily routine.....

Since the mentally strenous bedside teaching yesterday, I came home with an extremely worn out self, sat in front of laptop, tried to not sleep so that my sleeping hours don't get screwed up at this CRITICAL time. It's exam again. In 7 days time.

This time really no play play. FAIL? easy peasy, come back resit only loh! But the main problem is we've only got 28 days summer holiday. I really don't want to fly back at the 14th day to resit, and spend the another 14 days holidays alone in this place, without mama's cooking, baby sistas laughters and ikan bakar, fried sotong, mee hun kuey...etc.


Okay, so where was I?

Oh ya, staying awake! So I decided to do something new to my blog! haha. Thought it'll be interesting. ALways see people's blog, got chatbox la, emoticons la, pretty skin la, look so nice! Without any HTML knowledge to begin with, I decided to change Faraway's template. Poor blog. Ever since it was born back in April 2006 out of keboringan, the pinky whitish skin had been stucked there for ever.

Choose template, 1 hour gone. Decide colour codes, another 1 hour gone. Then it was the header uploading bit. Alamak. Headache. Trust me, no fun at all, just to get the correct size to fit nicely into the header column. Somemore this original picture is vertically orientated. Grr! Luckily in the end it all works, if not I might go out and kill someone.

When eveyrthing is set, the last thing was to adjust the margin, spacing and the arrangement.

How ar? Content width too narrow? White margin too little? Sidebar over-streched? Too textbook-ish? .... blah bla bla.

From now on, whenever I see nice blogskin or template, I would know this definitely don't come easily. How these people can be so good in doing html stuffs hor? Ganas.

In total, a grand 5 hours was spent doing this new layout! Hoho. Good way to waste time.
