Encountering Swedish "Problems"

A month ago, I ordered some Swedish grammar books and a dictionary from Amazon.com as I am trying to learn some basic Swedish by myself. My order was separated into two shipments. The first one arrived promptly
two week after I paid the order, while the second shipment seemed to disappear. I don't know what happened. I
kept on waiting for it to arrive, until this afternoon when I checked my mailbox, there was a notice sent to me from
the postal office telling me to claim a package at the post office. The notice was dated on June 04, 2007. I was
really frustrated when I saw the note. When the first package arrived, the apartment security guard received it for me when it was delivered, but why not the second package too? I was like..."Oh no...I don't know how to go to the said post office. What do I do?"  I immediately phoned the post office and luckily, the personnel told me that the package is still in the post office and that I should claim it as soon as possible. Oh well, in the end, I had to ask my mom's store employee to claim it for me as I don't want to get lost on my way there :S

Well, I hope I get it tomorrow. I'm really excited to start reading the books :P This language is getting more and more interesting as I further explore it haha Good luck to myself!

MyOpera Blocked

About a week ago, Trudy, my Chinese online friend told me that she cannot access MyOpera and
asked me if I could access it. I tried it, and it worked perfectly well, of course. I thought maybe it was only Trudy's internet that is experiencing internet, but it turns out that the issue is not as easy as I thought it was. Stomyr, another of my online friend from my opera blog told me that http://my.opera.com has been banned from China due to some offensive contents. OMG! I can't believe that. I had no idea how offensive a blog can be that it led China to ban access to the whole website. That is just so unreasonable.

I think until now, China is still very conservative on criticisms casted upon the government by other people. I don't know why they should react so violently when it was already a known truth that China is still not completely democratized. Oh well, I'm sad to say that Trudy and all other Chinese bloggers of the MyOpera community wouldn't be able to log-in or access the websites ever again :/  

This might have been good news to Blogger or any other blogsites out there lol As my friend, Trudy, has just moved her blog here a few days ago and will continue her blog here from now on. I hope Blogger don't get banned too haha

I'm back?

I am actually thinking of posting on this blog again. I kinda missed this place hehe

Well, yesterday I was really bored so I thought I might as well come back here and do some customizations to my blog then I discovered this really nice new feature of blogger. It now offers a new customization tool where you can actually sort out the side bar and add extra stuff to your side bar without the hassle of having to edit the html. All you need to do is drag the side panels across with the mouse. As you can see, I've managed to replace my heading with a picture, which I edited yesterday using Adobe Photoshop CS3. I hope it didn't look so bad :D As for the background, honestly, I think it does not match my template, but anyway, I did use a lot of time editing that picture. It's a picture I originally downloaded from deviantart, but I changed the color :P

This should serve as my "welcome back" post lol I'll be posting more soon, I guess.

Hi to all!

Wow it's been another month since I last updated this blog. Really, I don't see much life in this blog anymore...It's like a dead sea, that's why I get more and more discouraged to write here.

Hmm since my last update, there'd been only like 13 visits...hahaha My total hits now in my opera blog has already reached 2700 hits, and its only been 2 months since I started it. I'm thinking of deleting this blog...or just leave it as is until it disappears one day...without even any of you knowing. Please do visit my new blog at http://my.opera.com/winterdawn Thanks!

See you there...!

Wow! It's been a month!

Unusual for me, isnt it? To not write here for almost a month! haha Actually,
I've been writing still,but not posting it here. I've recently registered a new 
account in Opera blog. The URL for my second blog site is 
http://my.opera.com/winterdawn Please visit it :D Thanks! Why? 
Because I noticed that hit rates are surprisingly a lot higher there 
than here. My blog here is so desserted,there was not even one single hit within the month I wasn't able to write anything. Unlike in Opera,
anonymous people came and comment on my blog, which makes me feel
that there is always someone out there reading my blog contents, encouraging 
me to write more. I don't know what happened to some of my readers and
fellow bloggers here, seems this blog-writing heat had cooled down a bit. 

A few updates of what I've been doing for the whole month since December:

1. Christmas eve dinner in the mall
2. Watching three out of five days of Pyro Olympics (UK was the champion)
3. Studying for school (since it started January 8, 2007)
4. Been busy practicing piano everyday (done with 3 songs in 1 month :P)

That's all! Hope to see you guys soon. Bye!
