Desktop #2 and Weekend
I finally found a solution to display my iTunes now playing (including Chinese character) and album art on desktop. Here's how to do it:

Follow the instructions on this page: http://www.obfuscatepenguin.net/code/2009/03/27/rainmeter-itunes/
Then, use CD Art Display (which can be googled) to display the album art. However, CD Art Display doesn't support unicode characters, so the characters will be in a mess. You have to move it to the extreme sides and leave onli the album art visible. So the result is like this:Now, the last thing I have to do is to find a rainmeter plugin for birthday reminder so I can totally discard Yahoo! Widgets off @@
Also, I have found a very good alternative to DExposE2, which is Switcher. Its interface is much more streamlined and Vista-like and it doesn't hog memory like how DExposE2 does on my comp.
Quite nice, huh?

Picasa photo browser is quite 1337 also. You can find the screenshots on Google Image so I shall not post them here

Weekend :)

I spent less than half of the weekend in my room, which is a new record for me. To me, weekend is defined as Friday 2pm-Sunday 8pm. Friday, I "volunteered" as a helper for Sec 3 PTG, where the preparation lasted from 2pm-9pm. I slacked 1 hr in room, so that's 6 hours not in room. From 9pm-1am, I basically stayed in room with around half an hour sending laundry and taking bath. So that's 3.5 hours staying in room. After that I slept in Ou Xiang's room from 1am to 5am, and then in my own room from 5am - 7.30 am. Then from 7.30am to 8.30pm, I was in Wonky then Bo's room, then dinner at Sixth Avenue. So now there are only 7 hours in room as of Saturday night 8.30pm. From 8.30pm to 12.30 am I stayed in room to watch shows or play Wheelman and slept for 1 hour. Total of 11 hours now. At 12.30am I suddenly realised Ang was no in bs (I know very lag) so I went to Bo's room and only came back until just now 1pm. Later I'm going to soccer at 4pm, so this weekend onli 15 1337 hours at my room (1 more after soccer).

I know the last part is lame and I think only stupid bo will read it LOL
