Belated Memoir
15 . 06 . 2008
We celebrate our victory from the battle of cold virus and my birthday at the cinema today.
This is also Lun’s first movie. We line up early at the ticketing counter to catch the first scene of the day.
It was Sunday. We over estimate the crowd and had to queue a long snake line for tickets. When we reach the booth, the 11;45am show had stared. All seats were occupied till 4:15 pm which we were lucky to grab the couple seat specially for lovers. And extra cost of RM4 but good enough. We save a RM12 ( the third seat.)

My confession~
I was away from the net for nearly a week. I had too many things at a time. First, I’d hoop in Eltabina Bus to Singapore for 3 full days conference {The Children’s write and illustrator conference} organize by the book council. On Sunday, my yearly gathering with buddies from Singapore & of cos, a tour to Red Dot Museum that was introduce by them.
Everything is changing rapidly in Malaysia. I’d didn’t get them until I reach home.
The petrol risen, companies retrenching. Buses raise their fare uncontrollable. Newspaper, everyone is talking on how to save money and cut cost. Overwhelming!
I had so many great ideas from the conference, but, back to the reality. My work is overdue, my poor son is sick, blah, blah, blah…
Well, at least I’m back. Writing my confession.

can’t upload image in wordpress 2.5
The latest wordpress 2.5.1 is a whole new experience for Wp blogger. I’ve resisted using wp2.5 as I find it complicated. Well, not until my birth of 2nd blog- bookswonderland
My very first error with wordpress 2.5.1 was “Not able to read Chinese character”. A MySQL character encoding problem. It seems to be my default Fantatisco installer install me a “latin1″ instead of “utf-8″. I had to fix it from my phpadmin. A risky place for dummy. Anyway, got my friend Shuyun to solved.
So this second error disappointed me. Gets this error shown from picture above.
- HTTP error, please try it again.
Lucky not hard to solve. My solution learn from Image/Media Uploader problems The steps are as below.
- FTP download .htaccess
- Open it in notepad. Paste this below.You can get the text file here.
- Save and upload/replace the original.
- Close browser and restart browser
Well, not every user gets the same solution. You could try in a different method if you can’t. Here is one from nineteenhundredandyesterday
If you have any problem, just bug me at my comment corner.
How to wrap text around an image using Wordpress
This is a wordpress log file for my own reference learned from Mark McLaren in his post at WordPress Tutorial-How to Position and Image and wrap Text Around an image Using Wordpress
To position an image on the Right, place this code
< img style=” border: 0pt none; float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px” src=”images/anything.jpg” …/>
Type the whole code in code mood. You can find it next to Visual tab. Do make sure no space between ‘<’ and ‘img’ . I had to make a space to read the code here. If you want to link image to a site. just place in the < a href=” ” > in front and </a> at the end of the whole code.
Get back to Visual mood and click on the insert/edit image icon set it align to Right.
Next, To position an image to the left, place in this code instead;
< img style=”border: 0pt none; float:right; padding-left:10px; padding-bottom:10px” src=”images/image.jpg” …/>
The rest the same as i’d mention above.
Drawing Day
Drawing Day this year is June 07, 2008.
I’d got this news from Emila Yusof where she will be joining this movement and taking a day off just for it.
This is the first time knowing such activity. Glad to know people around the world taking such initiative to appreciate illustrator and designer.
And of cos drawing is a fun activity after all. We should all join in and have fun. I might try joining, though this event clash with the conference i am going to attend.
Nothing is impossible. I might beable to pull my son in too. But, we’ll have to do it a week ahead. That means, this weekend! We’ll see if we could.
Back to The Drawing Day.
What is Drawing Day?
One day a year, the world stops to remember that joy we had when we first picked up a pencil and created our first piece of art Continue… »
Server hosting is currently having database overload.
Well, i guess one has to be patient. If you can’t read my blog, that’s mean my host database overloaded. I’ve called them a few times. And finally, they told me their problem and promise to fix everything asap.
My host is a nice chap. His customer service is excellent. Never gets annoyed with my dummy question. And most of all reachable by phone, email or yahoo messenger. Maybe that’s the reason his server overloaded.
Too popular. Yo, Shuth! Cepat jayakan server baru tu ya. Ganbatte!
