A very nice song to share with you all…

Artist: 张韶涵
Title: 隐形的翅膀

每一次 都在徘徊孤单中坚强
Each time, I become stronger in loneliness.

每一次 就算很受伤也不闪泪光
Each time, I hold off my tears even when I’m hurt deeply.

我知道 我一直有双隐形的翅膀
I know I have a pair of invisible wings that will let me fly.

带我飞 飞过绝望
Fly over despair.

不去想 他们拥有美丽的太阳
I will not envy that they have the beautiful sun.

我看见 每天的夕阳 也会有变化
I can see that the dusk is different everyday.

我知道 我一直有双隐形的翅膀
I know I have a pair of invisible wings that will let me fly.

带我飞 给我希望
Give me hope.

我终于看到 所有梦想都开花
I finally see all my dreams come true.

追逐的年轻 棰都嘹亮
The youthful pursuits. How the singing voice resonant?

我终于翱翔 用心凝望不害怕
I finally take flight. I look forward and am not afraid

哪里会有风 就飞多远吧
I would fly however far the wind takes me.

隐形的翅膀 让梦恒久比天长
Invisible wings let dreams last forever.

留一个愿望 让自己想象
I’ll keep one wish for my own imagination

I’m so sad… T_T..

Haze Attack!!

Posted on October 2006 at about 5:30 PM by hwa

It’s near the end of the year, mean that the annual haze attack strike back again!! 👿 Every year around this time, our sky will polluted by haze from Indonesia, the same with the city i’m living now, Cyberjaya.

For the last four days, the sky is surrounded with haze all the time, and the vision is very poor, around 4km to 5km away and the view start to become blur. Sun light can’t penetrate the thick haze, however the weather still very hot due to the high level of Carbon Dioxide, and the worst is i can’t sun my Betty!! 😡

The invade of the haze is because the mass burning of oil palm plantation in Indonesia, they practising the Slash and Burn technique to clear the forest and then use it for planting, the ash will provides some fertilization. It’s easy and low cost, but give a very deep impact to the environment.

AdSense Between WordPress Post

Posted on October 2006 at about 10:50 PM by hwa

Few days ago a friend of mine asked me how to insert Google AdSense in between posts in the main page, too bad that she is using Blogger and i’m not familiar with it.

Anyway this is how i do it in WordPress, it’s very easy actually, all you have to do is to insert the following code into The Loop:

  1. < ?php
  2. $gcount++; // google post counter
  3.                
  4. if ($gadv < 3) { // how many ads to display?
  5.   if ($gcount%2 == 0) { // display ad after how many post?
  6.     $gadv++; // count number of adv
  7.     print 'Your Google AdSense Code Here';
  8.   }
  9. }
  10. ?>

Don’t forget to insert your own Google AdSense code, and you can put the above code anywhere in your “single.php” as long as it’s in between the line:

  1. < ?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

and

  1. < ?php endwhile; ?>

Which is The Loop that i mentioned earlier.

You may want to change the parameter to suit your need, there are only two parameters you can set, first one is:

For the total number of AdSense display in your home page, remember that Google only allow a maximum number of three AdSense displayed in the same page.

The second parameter would be:

  1. $gcount

This one is to set your AdSense to display after the specific amount of post, the default setting is to display AdSense every two post.

WordPress Merdeka Theme

Posted on October 2006 at about 7:56 PM by hwa

A WordPress theme by ikram_zidane, the “Merdeka” theme, a one panel white colored theme, very clean design, the navigation is hidden on top and will show up when you click the “Navigation” button, brilliant idea!

Merdeka in Bahasa Malaysia is mean freedom, ikram_zidane didn’t mention what’s the reason he name this theme but most probably is to celebrate Malaysia’s independent day, which is on 31th August. 🙂

It’s a very impressive work done by a boy just 16 years old (2006), added that he is from Malaysia (go go Malaysia boleh!! :P), you can have a look at the demo at here.

Congratulation i would say to ikram_zidane, keep up the good work!! 😉

Good Bye Little Radiated

Posted on October 2006 at about 2:04 AM by hwa

Just got a shocking news from my friend, saying that her Radiated Tortoise just died, been bitten by some other animal, half of the head gone! 😥

I can’t believe this, just one month ago i brought this little Radiated back hometown and pass it to it’s owner, at that time the little Radiated looks healthy and eat quite a lot, and even spent a night in my house! Together with my Betty. But now it’s gone, everything happen so suddenly. 🙁

I don’t dare to ask too much about the Radiated, but from what i know so far, the Radiated been bitten by some other animal while it’s sun bathing, most probably bitten by mouse or birds, i don’t know. It’s an accident, no one should be blame for this.

This page is dedicated to our little Radiated, rest in peace little fella… 😥

Raped By Probability And Statistics

Posted on October 2006 at about 4:33 AM by hwa

Final is coming, and the first subject to test will be Probability and Statistics. 🙁

I’m no good in mathematics, i admit that, especially Probability and Statistics. I’m ok in calculus, not bad in algebra, but not Probability and Statistics. 🙁 I don’t know why they want an IT student to take Probability and Statistics, calculate the success rate in sending data between two different brand of cables? Well this the sample question in my tutorial! 😕

If they really want us to take this subject, they at least come out a questions that’s much more interesting that, such as the success rate of passing this subject with out study! 😆

Life is sucks when you have to force your self to do something that you don’t like you know? Of course i’m not saying that my life is bad just because my exam is coming, what i mean is we only live once, so why bother? It’s true that sometime the condition are not allow us to do whatever we want, but human should enjoy their life, for we are born to be free, freedom is our greatest asset, at least that’s what i think. 😉

Well! Guess that’s all for now, i’m back to study. 😥
