The wind woke me up at about 7.30 in the morning yesterday. My room was surprising dark and hence I jump out of bed to see this …
Surprise! I made this new layout during the past 24 hours, it was inspired by Oridusartic. My twitter followers might have noticed my tweets about this new layout. 
I don’t usually changed my layout this often but I’ve noticed a few sites with very similar designs to my previous Scrapbook layout. Hence, I decided to draw a new one yesterday. I feel honoured that someone thinks mine is good enough to be duplicated though. I might be using this design for my name cards as well, maybe replacing the devil with my trademark panda, we shall see. 
So, why monsters? (Yes, it’s a monster or devil, not a cow, pig, bee or panda) I saw a tweet from Oridusartic with a link to a list of adorable monsters and I decided to try drawing something new. I’ve never drawn a monster before and let me tell you it’s super tough to draw a cute monster. The one in this layout – Blurry is not exactly adorable either. It’s my best shot though. It was without wings initially. Here are some of the different types of wings I’ve drawn for him.
Wings wings and more wings
It has a Chirstmasy feeling, no? The background isn’t very logical as well with lollipops growing on the grass. It’s suppose to be snowing as well. Nevertheless, like what Oridusartic had told me – anything can happen in “our world”. 
I’m still using the tab navigation style but I flip the words over so that it’s easier to read now. If you look around the website, I didn’t change all of the styles (eg. headers). I still like the old ones, plus I couldn’t think of a better one … yet. I still maintain the notebook style because of the same reason – I still like it.
I would like to express my thanks to Oridusartic, Terry, Liling, Chewy and Huaian for comments and advice before I launched the final layout. 
Credit for the post title goes to James! This layout is extremely random. I’ve no explanations as to why it is snowing when the grass is green. Why are lollipops all over the ground? Why are there shadows when there is no sun?
I have also done cross browser checks on Firefox 3.5.3, Internet Explorer 8, Google Chrome 3, Safari 4.0.2 and Opera 10. It should most probably work in the latest browsers and in resolutions of 1024×768 and above. A JavaScript enabled browser is recommended.
Lunch
One thing I miss about school is having lunch. I hate to admit it but during my holidays, I tend to wake up in the afternoon so I usually skipped my lunch. After school started, I wake up at about 10am when I have afternoon classes. I have my lunch at home before going to school. Mum cooked fish fillet, harshbrown and eggs for lunch. It’s been a really long time since I last ate such a fabulous meal.
Talking about school, my first Audit class went great. The lecturer is very interesting and told us quite a bit of interesting things. One thing which I find ironic is that most of us (the Accountancy students) do not know why Debit is DR (with the R) and credit is CR. Where did the R from DR came from? 
I’m so glad to say that there are finally things I know which Chewy doesn’t. Chewy is a much better and intelligent student as compared to me. 
I’m rather inspired by something the lecturer told us during the class.
Life is short. Enjoy it. Everyday is an interesting day.
He told us to enjoy going for classes. Thinking about it, I can’t remember when is the last time I enjoyed and looked forward to attending classes. I think it was 2 years back while I was still in Ngee Ann Polytechnic. That was the time when I truly felt school was enjoyable. I’m happy waking up early for school, meeting my friends in the morning, having lunches together and working on projects. I missed those times. Anyway, the way that particular lecturer conducts his classes makes me remember the stuff he had said.
