Since its 12.50am, January 13 of 2010. I have exactly 1 day of exam left (not including next week – since they are Multiple Choice Examinations). It’s only today and tomorrow. So besides revising History (specifically the “New Deal”). I got bored, so I dug through my old “My Pictures” archive and stumbled into this.
This simply, is a screenshot of my work going into waste (not really, I managed to save it 
). Ahhh, English Coursework (hate them =S).
Anyways, that’s all. I didn’t promise anything long so yea.
P.S. Chinese New Year is coming up.
And yay! for random post tags.
The Exam Post (post-exam post?)

Well its not really the end of my exams yet Only week one! There’s still week numéro deux leaving the rest of my weekend to a good advantage for me to revise (or leave things till Sunday as usual)! As you can see, I lost my creative juices lately as well as most of my inspiration (if you had notice the new and retarded logo on the top left of the blog). But no worries! I shall revamp this blog sooner or later.
Since I haven’t been posting for a long long time, I shall set this on spotlight category (: (it is a highlight is it not?). In short, I have spent the whole 5-Days of this week with no more than 5-Hours of proper rest. Increase in loss of hair and probably gained a few one or two pimples. FML. Yes. Exams. Although its only mocks, I have no idea why I’m taking it so seriously, P.S. Jafnee: Ms.Southall Notes!
One thing I’m really proud of now… my great collection of Biology and Chemistry notes for IGCSEs!
Oh, I forgot to mention, due to various obligations, I missed my one chance to “win” something from the Adobe Innovative Awards 2009. I can’t forgive myself till today. Seriously. But it’s the past, so I’ll have to just move on. Anyhow, I have installed LiteSpeed on my Netherlands server recently, and wow, a significant performance improvement (Yes, its only a 15-Days trial at the moment).
Previously, with suPHP, the RAM (Memory) usage was at an average 20% (If I’m not mistaken), but due to the way ’suPHP’ works, I often suffered High CPU Loads (for no apparent reasons) resulting in absolutely slow loading pages. Another factor I believe that has cause this is because of the I/O problems. With not much knownledge of the actual situation, I recompiled Apache and PHP into FastCGI mode (mod_fcgid). Yes, it was great at first, but many sites suffered random and unexaplainable problems. Sadly, it did not really help in terms of CPU reduction, even with nginx working as a reverse proxy. Which led me to my final solution, LiteSpeed.
So, Thank God It’s Friday! I have the rest of the day to fool around and sleep (yay!) .
Perhaps I should also get started on revision?
I won’t have time to update. Sooo don’t expect anything for a while
