I hope you enjoy the list. All of these themes has been featured in Happyblog Design Wordpress themes gallery. So if you’re looking for more decent and uniquely design Wordpress themes, head over to Happyblog Design. I got quite a long list there. I’ll be posting some new stuff again in the future so make sure you check back from time to time.

Forget about the notebook for now. I’ll post up when it’s already in my hand.

I guess everyone should know about the newly released Wordpress 2.6 by now. And I really need to upgrade to that version. Sadly, as always, the wireless Internet I’m having right now is the number one barrier. Yesterday I tried to upload a new Wordpress blog on my other site. I did that for at least 5 times and still didn’t make it. It got stuck somewhere at 94% or 99% which was soooo frustrating. That’s the main reason why I’m not able to upgrade my Wordpress blog now. Automattic Upgrade plugin just didn’t work. The last resort is to manually upgrade via FTP. I’m afraid it will get stuck again and causes inconvenience to my visitors and readers.

I tell myself to calm and slowly make a move. The first thing I did was to pack my bag. I put in my purse, my keys and my matric card (not going to wear it today). Then I brush my teeth and wash my face. Few minutes after that my friend came out from the toilet and I went in. Done with one thing. Right after shower I grab any clothes that don’t required special care and put them on. I will have to work in lab this morning so I have to wear closed shoes. Yay! I’m done! And I still have 10 minutes left.

Right after the lab finished, I went to Mid Valley Megamall with my housemates. The real destination is Machines, the place where I’m going to purchase my MacBook Pro. Unfortunately, they are out of stock so I have to place the order first and pick it up in two weeks. But I got the chance to touch the MacBook for the first time! Trust me, I never seen the real Mac be it MacBook, MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac, etc. in front of me before. I’ve only seen them in websites. Poor me.

After that we proceed to Carl’s Jr. for lunch. This is the first time for me too. Wow! I think I love their big burgers and fries! I forgot to take pictures there but since we will come back to Machines, I’m hoping to drop by Carl’s Junior again.

We arrived at home at 2:30 PM and straightly prepare ourselves for class at 3:00 PM The class ended at 7:00 PM today. It’s quite late. The funny thing is the lecturer stopped the lecture because he has been ’sabotaged’ by the computer in the hall. Haha! Actually, the computer will automatically shut down at 7:00 PM to prevent extra electrical usage if any lecturer forgot to shut down the computer. Furthermore, 7:00 PM class is too late for us. So, thank God!

Before I end my post, I wanna thank Nad for taking me to Mid Valley by her car. And thanks to Yatie too for accompanying us. I’ll treat you guys someday!

Mak, dh tdor ke? Lupa nk bgth td. Adik nk g beli laptop next week. Guna duit keje + jpa sikit. Gi dgn kwn2. *

And this is what my Mom replied:

Baru nk tido, tadi iron baju~ ok beli lah yg mana idaman kalbu..hehe *

I laughed out loud after I read that. It was unexpected (for my Mom to say it that way). It was around 12:20 AM in a dark room. My roommate was watching her so-called midnight movie on her laptop. I guess she didn’t hear me. Otherwise she could be frightened by my sudden laugh.

So, as what have been planned, I will get myself a new laptop which is a MacBook Pro, next week at Machines, Mid Valley. It’s the largest Apple authorised reseller in Malaysia. I’ve ‘ordered’ my housemate to take me there by her car. Hahaha. No lah, I mintak jasa baik dia tumpangkan je.

This would be my first time to buy something valuable in my life without my parents around. But they’re fine with it. I guess they’re happy to see me working hard to get something I wanted on my own. And I’m glad that I could do something to earn money and make my own living. At least they don’t have to worry about me and can focus on my little siblings.

*Sorry to my English readers. The above conversation is about me telling my Mom that I wanted to buy a new laptop on next week and she said ‘yes’ but in an unexpected funny manner.

So pathetic. So immatured. Does my nerdy has something to do with him? Does it bothers him? I’m so terribly sorry if it does. Yeah right.

We woke up earlier that day. We didn’t sleep after Subuh prayer because we have to prepare the foods to be brought there. Baber cooked nasi goreng that morning. We borrowed the cooking equipments from Yatie’s friend. Since the kuali was too small, Baber had to cooked like 6 rounds!

We off to Sungai Gabai around 9:00 AM and reached there 45 minutes later. Oh yes, Yatie managed to buy some durians on the road side. Luckily, all of us who rode on Yatie’s car can stand the smell of that marvelous fruit.

I snapped some pictures on that day using my phone camera.

I snapped this picture while climbing the stairs to the top of the waterfall.

Let me warn you. You nearly faint if you’re not fit. My parents surely can’t climb this up.

The ‘train’ is ready to ‘depart’.

Here we come!

It was damn cold up there. We were refreshed by the coldness of the clear water. According to my friends, the waterfall was quite ‘heavy’. I can tell myself just by looking at the water flow. We spent 3 hours in the waterfall and went back home when the clock ticked at one o’clock in the afternoon.

It was a great trip I must say. A good time spent with close friends is priceless.

Should I re-brand my site? My identity? Or shouldn’t I?

It’s not that I hate what I have now. In fact, I always love the ‘Pelangi Petang’ name itself. It has such beautiful meaning. But I always feel that people hardly remember ‘Pelangi Petang’ especially for non-Malaysians since ‘Pelangi Petang’ are Malay words. I always think will it helps in my web design and development works? Will it brings me more clients since they hardly remember it? Does it sounds professional?

Some sort of questions really bother me. And I just can’t decide on this.

By the way, I had spaghetti for dinner today. It’s Pizza Hut’s spaghetti. Not bad but I prefer Kyros Kebab’s Black Pepper Spaghetti more. It costs me a two-day meals. Haha.

I’m full by now. I had McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger earlier. Hahaha.

Last Sunday was the only day that the management accept registration. Imagine that. They only accept registration of thousands of students on that single day. I have to wait for 3 hours just to get my key. So much problems occurred on that day and we couldn’t help but laughed out loud because the problems keep appearing one by one and we really think it’s funny. I really think they have to fix their management (and attitude) but being able to stay in the same house with the same housemates is more than enough and we couldn’t ask for more.

Yesterday I talked to my brother about getting myself a personal Internet connection. Perhaps Celcom 3G. It’s look like the wireless connection I’m having right now is too slow (for me). I hardly upload pictures in Wordpress, logging into my PayPal account, attaching files in emails and upload a database for my friend. I keep on stuck on the long loading page. I don’t think I can continue my works with this. I think Celcom 3G is quite decent. What do you think?

Liam is a very talented young designer. Take a look at his design portfolio and you’ll agree with me. He’s in the progress of making and releasing his free Wordpress themes as well. Spend some time to read the news on his free themes development. You’ll know how nice he is to release such great themes for free. It’s nice to know him.
