I have officially declared that I am not attending up for guitar classes on Tuesdays at Siglap CC. Of course there are mixed feelings involved as I feel bad for leaving Agnes to go alone. But there is little reason to go when in my heart I did not feel I was benefiting much from the tutelage I was getting last term.

My fish tank is getting kinda murky and cloudy. maybe algae forming. Treated the water just now and may do a few water changes in the days to come until the situation improves. May even introduce carbon if the tide (so to speak) does not turn.

Bought new track shoes from e-mart. I now have the entire set of SAF standard issue shoes. Had to use my balance of SAF points before year end otherwise I would have to forfeit them. So a pair of shoes is good. I may even get a pair of them new boots to boot (hahaa...geddit?). Agnes could use a pair of running shoes too.

On leave on Monday. Still thinking what to do. How I am gonna spend my big day *cough* and where to have dinner later on? Actually I was thinking of going to Wild Wild Wet. But I am not sure the weather will keep. To add to my concerns is whether Agnes would be up to it.

Science Centre is gonna have the Art of Star Wars exhibition next month. Being the huge SW fan I am, I will definitely be going. Not everyday that something like that comes to our shores anyway. Hasli seems keen also. Maybe we could all go together then.

Still trying to figure out how to use my Photoshop Elements to it fullest potential. Guess the main problem is how un-intuitive the menu is. It works a treat if you know what you are doing. But it is a totally different story when you arenew and may never have used like software before.The so-called Help function was not very helpful. It was kinda vague and confusing. They do not tell you what you need to know all in one page. Instead you have to traverse between various pages to get the full picture and try to decipher what they are trying to tell you. I was trying to create .gif files. So I went to the Help Menu to see how to go about it.

Instructions like "In the Editor, place the images you want to appear in each frame of the animation on separate layers of the Layers palette."

Ok...

So now I have to find out what are layers and where exactly the Layers Pallete is. And also how to select the images that I 'want to appear in each frame of the animation'. So I type 'layer' and 'layers pallette'. And I get a whole list of 'related links'. After reading all 15 links I still do not know how to 'place the images you want to appear in each frame of the animation on separate layers of the Layers palette'.

It is a a conspiracy I tell ya....
