Bao Tian Kong 宝天宫

16 Jan

Last week I took a motorcycle ride up the hill traveling from Balik Pulau to Air Itam on an unusual route.

Talking about the route, it is usually taken by me and my friends during the 九王爷 festive week (falls on 9th month of Chinese lunar calender) by foot to a Chinese temple called 清觀寺. It is usually a 2 hours journey on foot from Balik Pulau up till the temple. I will try to post up photos taken around that temple later.

I have google-ed abit on 九王爷, If you would like to know more about this festive event, check it at http://forum.photopintu.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5873

And here’s some brief description about 清觀寺 temple found in Wikimapia

A Taoism Temple for the god of “Nine Emperors”. It was built on a hill top in 1890 (this hill is known locally as ‘Cheng Jee Chan’- literally meaning 1200 steps of stone stairways leading to the hill shrine). A festival / praying ceremony is held consecutively on the first nine days of the 9th Month in Lunar / Chinese Calendar every year. The climax is on the midnight of the 9th day where the worshipers send the deities back to heaven…

Going back to the topic itself, I went to another temple called 宝天宫. It is located somewhere 2km away from 清觀寺 measured in straight line (Obviously, it is not that near as you can imagine in real life up the hill). I don’t know much about this temple but for one thing I’m freaking sure. It offers great view of Balik Pulau from there! :D

galleria de hugolim dot com facelift!

09 Nov

I was using hardwired theme that comes along by default when I first installed Coppermine gallery for years till today. I find it dull and not too attractive compared to many other themes available online.

Then, at one bright sunny day when the warm sunshine is…… {lame crap}, so, while I was blog hopping around… I landed at photos.dwaynefoong.com. I got this link from Jing-leBelle’s blog.

I have then been thinking for daysss (1 night only lah actually) on how to make my template more attractive and better. So so so…… I was thinking with one objective in mind.

That is… to design a new template that will integrate with my current wordpress theme, Brightness.

I started to find an theme in my Coppermine gallery that resembles most with the wordpress theme. Theme reynolds has a sidebar and that’s one theme good to start with!

After 30 minutes or so, I managed to integrate the CSS file of both wordpress theme and the existing coppermine theme. Here’s how it look like now…

Then… 2 hours or so later trying this and that… things begins to take shape! :D

Another blog is already hosted at this address

16 Oct

Okay, this blog post is intended for those with situation as below:-

  1. You are blogspot blogger. :)) (Of course, you are)
  2. Bought domain at godaddy.com thru blogspot’s “purchase a domain”
  3. And lastly, you get “Another blog is already hosted at this address” when trying to point your blogspot to your new domain.

With the purchase of domain thru that, you will be given a googe apps account. You can retrieve the details in the email sent to you after your domain is purchased.

Solution:

1. Log in to your Google Apps account as administrator.
2. Go to Service Settings -> Sites


3. Go to Web address mapping


4. There will be one entry only namely www. Select it and delete the record. Proceed with all the delete warning and confirmation. It’s safe. No worry here.

5. After you have finished with the deletion. Go to your blogspot dashboard and try to point to your new domain again. NOTE: In blogspot dashboard there, put your domain name with www prefix. Example: put www.hugolim.com instread of just hugolim.com and you do not need to check “redirect www.hugolim.com to hugolim.com”

6. That’s all. Very straightforward is’nt it. :D Happy blogging!

    Technically, if this solution worked for you, then the reason why you getting this error would be…. google apps’s webservice(sites) is utilizing your domain thus your blogspot failed to get your domain linked up with it.

    Resources:

    I got by brain worked from these links:-

    And if my solution above doesn’t work and you think its google’s database problem. Ask google to manually clear your domain from their database here https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pZHHZdeYKeHitQbvxkvwnCg&email=true

    ShoutOutLounge.com I hit 8888

    05 Aug

    I hit 8888 posts count today! :D

    Shout Out will be relocated to ShoutOutLounge.com, formerly hosted at PenangPenang.com (soon to be on 8 August 2008). It is a pet project of Lasker Saw. To date, there are hundreds of active members including me.

    ShoutOut is not another comment box like shoutmix or cbox. It’s not just another personal comment box but something like MIRC where users can gather together and chat. It targets mainly on bloggers. You can put one in your blog just like mine. I wish to talk no more about this fantastic feature. Try it out and you will know how useful and interesting it is.

    Shoutout, your daily office companion. Your life never be the same again! :P

    Links!
