Tutorial : Create spoilers in Blogger and WordPress (Updated)

Posted by IcedNyior on March 11, 2008  |  54 Comments

[7 Jan 09] Update : change the code because there was some typo error caused by the formatting of my blog. Hopefully this fixes the problem

Its been a while since I wrote a tutorial yea? Here’s something about spoiler tags and how to include them into your blog. This tutorial is for both WordPress.org hosted blogs and free Blogger/Blogspot blogs.

Spoilers for WP

The WordPress plugin that im currently using to hide my spoilers is wpSpoiler. This is especially useful when I want to write reviews on movies or books and I don’t want to reveal information that might spoil it for someone else.Click here to show spoiler

How do you add this plugin to your website? Just download it from the site (click the link above), make changes in the PHP file to change the language and wallah! All you have to do is put your info between tags like this [ spoiler ] This is a hidden text [ /spoiler ] and you’re all set.

Ahh the wonders of WordPress. Thats so easy, I hear you say. But what about people who are using Blogger to host their website? Next up…

Spoilers for Blogger – Part 1 :Editing the Theme

This is for you folks who host your blogs on blogger and have blogspot.com in your blog URL. It requires a little more work and is a bit more complicated so listen up.

Overly Sexy Photo?

Posted by IcedNyior on February 23, 2008  |  2 Comments

This is one of my (few) photos that didn’t make the cut for DFJJ. I think this photo of Pam is really really nice and sweet. But, as quoted in the email I got, “Fhoto ini mungkin akan mengundang kontroversi. Mungkin. Berdasarkan pemerhatian saya terhadap visitor DFJJ. Harap maaf ya.” Oh well, no offence taken. You’re just doing your job to please the general public.

Rather than letting a nice photo like that go to waste, I might as well post it up here. Comment pls people :D (especially ko org yg baru beli A200 tu).

Curve Shopping

Basically, we was hanging out in Curve/Ikea/Ikano/Cineleisure area again yesterday :P Its practically my second home. The decorations in Curve is really nice. Like a scene out of those ancient china movie or TV series where they walk in short small steps and wear those huge bows on their head. LOL!

Sky Bar @ Trader’s Hotel

Posted by IcedNyior on January 10, 2008  |  8 Comments

Micah wanted to meet up with us at Sky Bar so we made a move around 11pm from my place. Its my second time in Sky Bar and I think that its a really good place chill with a bunch of friends. Drinks are slightly pricy tho, being a hotel bar – a bottle of tiger beer is RM24++ and a cocktail (which was not so nice and watered down) was RM30++ for a small glass. Parking is RM7 at night till 2am then its rm1 per every half hour.

The view from the bar is absolutely stunning. Its an open air poolside bar on the 33rd floor so you can see the whole of KLCC park and its surrounding areas all lighted up. And as you can see from the first picture, the environment is really nice and soothing.

All in all, it was a great night, which is perhaps enhanced due to the amount of alcohol we had – 3 beers, 1 cocktail, 1 bottle of red wine and 2 bottles of white wine. Hehe! It was great hanging out and catching up with friends we haven’t met in years :)

Holidays

Posted by IcedNyior on December 11, 2007  |  No Comments

My holidays have been filled with sesi menembamkan diri, lepaking, movies, sleeping, outings, lepakings, gaming, catan and a lil bit of clubbing. I heard a laugh :P Seriously, I hvn’t been doin as much clubbing as before :P

After the exams, Pam & I went down to Putrajaya to help Sonic with her video project. She was looking for a secluded road to shoot her vid so we ended up on the hill in Precinct 1. It was a very secluded & scary road with trees all around. Anyway we wrapped it up pretty quick (it was the waiting that was long) then went back.

I still haven’t fixed my car :( Or rather, my parents haven’t gotten round to sending it and I don’t even want to  ask – it avoids any awkward questions. Hehe! I hung up this beaded Sarawakian handicraft – the one that looks like a bell in my car. Supposed to give to

Some of my nights have been filled with watching movies in the cinema or DVDs, lepaking at Rasta or Coffee Hut or hanging out at Arai’s playing games – Catan, Bang, Uno, etc :P

Oh, i managed to meet up with Grace when she was here for the UiTM graduation. Congrats on graduating babe! Wish you could have stayed longer.

 

On a personal level, things have been looking up. Im not sure how should I go about doing this. I know some people are skeptical. But lets see how this goes. Hehe!

Have a great week :D

How to Cheat

Posted by IcedNyior on December 2, 2007  |  10 Comments

** Disclaimer : This blog does not approve of cheating :P**

This is one of the skills I learned in Curtin. Haha! This is the sure fire way that no lecturer/teacher will realize (unless they read my blog hehe).

First you need a small piece of paper and a CLEAR barrel Pen (this is important!)

Unscrew and dismantle the pen

Roll (and cut if needed) the paper around the ink barrel

Squeeze the whole thing into the barrel of the pen, make sure u can still take it out. Take out the paper and write your notes/formulas in small fonts.

See, no one will notice!

Now all the educators who read this will double check their students’ pens :P

Pangkor Trip – Day 2

Posted by IcedNyior on November 19, 2007  |  3 Comments

This is a long overdue continuation of Pangkor Trip – Day 1. If you haven’t read it, head over here.
~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next day we were up bright and early around 7.30am. Oh wait, let me rephrase that. I had to wake everyone up bright and early by yelling and shaking everyone. Goodness, you can’t believe how hard it is to wake some ppl up. Its like im yelling “Wake up! Wake Up!” then Tau…err…someone says “ok ok” then promptly starts snoring again. Haha!

We had a long day planned for today. We were going on a boat tour and snorkeling at 9am. After being suited up with life jackets (that was big enough to fit around our tummies), we hopped into the boat and was brought touring around the beach and lagoon. The snorkeling site was on a smaller island just off the shore so we were deposited there and planned to stay for around 3 hours.

I ditched the life jacket when I went into the water because it was such a hassle. I got natural floating ‘device’ ma….Haha! Unfortunately, there wasn’t much to see at the snorkeling site. The water was murky and the fishes were small and not that colourful or unique. Plus there was so many people and the boats keep cutting through to get to the beach. We just snapped a few photos then it started drizzling :( So we called the boat and got them to drop us at another beach which had white sandy beaches and bars alongside the beach.

We played around in the water – chasing each other, trying not to drown in the waves, and jumping off each other shoulders. It was fun. Pam instantly settled into a hammock underneath some trees and took a nap. The rest of us proceeded to bury Nik in the sand. Then we turned him into a transsexual mermaid. Then while i was lying down on the cool sand under the shade of the trees, they proceeded to bury me instead and I got turned into some macho man.

Our packed lunch was brought for us at the beach, so we sat at the bar at the side of the beach and had our nasi campur. Then after lunch, we had the bright idea to go on a banana boat. So Taufan, Arai, Aree, Nik, Ariff & I tong tong to ride the banana boat – RM15/person. It was totally fun, but the ride was a bit short – the duration of the ride that is :P

After that, Ariff, Nik and I took a walk down the beach towards this nice lagoon that Jef and Ariff went to earlier during the day. OMG it was sooooo gorgeous, with clear blue water and a (literally) WHITE sandy beach. We went crazy snapping photos, swimming, playing with water and skinny dipping. Haha! It was really great, we hung out there till 5pm-ish.

We finally started walking back at 5pm. Upon reaching we found everyone else deep in sleep, snoring away. Apparently they went back around 3pm and went straight to bed. When i took a shower, thats when I realized how tanned I was. I was chocolate red – due to the fact that I didnt reapply sunblock.

For dinner, we had this fantastic, fantastic BBQ Seafood FEAST. I mean like literally a feast. We had bbq fish, fish with chilli, chicken wings, sausages, fried meehoon, fried rice, stingray, crabs, cockles (kerang) and soup. My mouth still waters remembering it. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day.

After dinner, we watched the game on TV with the guys. Then Pam, Aree, Craig, Gladys, Arai & Ariff wanted to go to the bonfire at that bar at the side of the beach but Nik, Jef, Taufan & I wanted to sleep early so we split ways.

Day 3 (last one) coming up soon….

More photos of Day 2 HERE.

Pangkor Trip – Day 1

Posted by IcedNyior on November 7, 2007  |  3 Comments

Be prepared for a series of long posts full of pictures. This is my third attempt to write this post coz my connection sucks and I got no autosave! boo hoo :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone was excited and psyched up for this trip. It was going to be our first trip together as friends (+ one couple). We planned to go on Friday, most of us who had classes had to skip them because our bus was at 1.30pm and we didn’t want to take the ferry at night.

So Aree slept over the night before actually she only came at 4am after goin out drinking with friends coz Taufan was going to pick up at at 11am which he was late by 15-20 mins to go to Kelana Jaya. We met up with Pam who was pissed coz we were late and Jef at KJ then proceeded to go to Pasar Seni. Met up with Ariff & Azrai Lychee Arai who were actually just one train behind us. Then we walked to Puduraya. Yes walked thru Central Market and Petaling Street (I still think Masjid Jamek would hv been a nearer stop) and met up with Nik there.

At puduraya waiting for our bus

Proceeded to look for our bus platform, loaded up on snacks, drinks and reading material then we were off.The trip there was rather uneventful. Everyone was sleeping in the bus at one point or another. It was cold, luckily I brought my sweater. It was my first time riding an outstation bus – we took the Transnational and tickets were about RM40 to-and-fro and it was very comfortable.

Bus camwhoring sessions

We reached Lumut in the evening – I forgot the exact name of the station, oh well. Its right next to the jetty so we walked to the jetty and got on the ferry. We decided to sit at the back in the open air area to enjoy the breeze and of course take photos :P Upon arriving at Pangkor Island, we took a taxi – which was actually a van painted pink to our resort – Purnama Beach Resort.


On the ferry
We were then brought to our rooms. We had 2 huge rooms, one for all the boys and their snoring orchestra and one for us four girls which didnt really work out that way in the end. We then took a shower and freshen up, lepak for a bit then proceeded to the room for a round of drinks – I brought tequila, tuak & JD, playing board/card games – Catan & Bang, buat maksiat and other forms of substance abusing.


Hanging out in the room
We couldn’t stay up all night coz we had to go snorkeling at 9am and breakfast was at 8am so I think we slept around 2-ish. I was assigned to wake everyone up the next morning. Its going to be a hard task…
