This is Dawn's personal blog. The blog name Orchids in Formaldehyde hints of sweetness and darkness in her views. A paradox of perspective that is sometimes confusingly unpredictable.

Ebay Selling Experience So Far

As I've stated in my previous post, I have started selling some Sophie Paris products on Ebay. After a few weeks, I only managed to sell one item, and that item isn't even a Sophie product, but a used Revlon blush. Oh well.

I have also got a bid on one of my auctioned items (or two-it's a lot of two products in one bid). Unfortunately, she was a joybidder and I've never heard from her since. I did open a "Unpaid Item" case, but after an ample amount of time I finally closed it, relist my item, and the record forever shown in her account. Though I think it would just be useless if she just closed that account and open a new one.

I don't want to block new users though. I have been a new user in ebay and I swear it's nerve wracking having to transact online for the first time, that I don't want to add to the anxiety by giving them a block/banned warning.

So how to solve this problem? Ummm, maybe just the unpaid item strike for now.

As of today, I got another bid on one of my Sophie products. Weee! I hope this pushes through.

Cross your fingers for me.

Science Jokes


I've found some Science jokes online. Some of them I find funny, so I'm sharing them with you.

Marilyn Monroe suggests to Einstein: What do you say, professor, shouldn't we marry and have a little baby together: what a baby it would be - my looks and your intelligence!
Einstein: I'm afraid, dear lady, it might be the other way around...

All the physicists are playing hide and seek. Einstein is the ‘den’ and stands against the wall with his eyes closed and counts till 100 to enable all the physicists to run and hide. At the count of 100 Einstein turns around and finds Newton standing there.
He screams, “Newton, you are out!” Newton says, “No, I ‘m not!”
Einstein says, “Yes, you are. I can see you here in front of me”.
Newton says, “I’m not out. Pascal is.”
Einstein is a bit confused and starts to scratch his head and beard.
Newton says “Here, Let me explain”
He draws a square one meter by one meter on the floor and stands in the middle of it and says,
“Newton per meter square is a Pascal, so it’s Pascal who’s out not me”

Rene Descartes sits down for lunch at a Parisian restaurant. The waitress asks for his order. He orders a hamburger.
The waitress inquires, "Would you like fries with that? " Descartes says, "I think not," ...and instantly disappears.
 (I think, therefore I am)

Relativity:
Two hairs in my cup of milk is too much.
Two hairs on my head is too less.

The story is that Albert Einstein's driver used to sit at the back of the hall during each of his lectures, and after a period of time, remarked to Einstein that he could probably give the lecture himself, having heard it several times.
So, at the next stop on the tour, Einstein and the driver switched places, with Einstein sitting at the back, in driver's uniform.
The driver gave the lecture, flawlessly. At the end, a member of the audience asked a detailed question about some of the subject matter, upon which the lecturer replied, 'well, the answer to that question is quite simple, I bet that my driver, sitting up at the back, there, could answer it...'

Enrico Fermi, while studying in college, was bored by his math classes. He walked up to the professor and said, "My classes are too easy!"
The professor looked at him, and said, "Well, I'm sure you'll find this interesting."
Then the professor copied 9 problems from a book to a paper and gave the paper to Fermi. A month later, the professor ran into Fermi, "So how are you doing with the problems I gave you?"
"Oh, they are very hard. I only managed to solve 6 of them."
The professor was visibly shocked, "What! But those are unsolved problems!"

Light and Shade


This song is one of my favorites from Fra Lippo Lippi. I was wondering why Beauty and Madness was revived while this one wasn't. Anyway, this song brings me back 7-8 years ago, way back when i was in 1st year or 2nd year high school. My brother had this casette tape of Fra Lippo Lippi, and these 2 songs were our favorites. I just want to share this with you. If you like Beauty and Madness, you'll probably like this one too.


He will paint the light and shades
The colours and the trees
He will climb the steepest hill
Believing what he sees
He will lay down on the ground
Beneath the old oak tree
He will sleep forever
If you try to set him free
Chorus
Sail on the wings of a cloud
Where to, well nobody knows
And cry, cry if you want them to see
Die every day to be free
Be proud to wear the colours that you call your own
Be loud, speak out when you want the world to know
Be strong, hold the flame for everyone to see
Be weak, if you want to love.
He will paint the endless sea.
A mystery to me
He will reach out for the sun,
Not dreaming what he sees
He will fall down on his knees
Angel touching ground
Takes him to the other side
Sweet love is coming down.
Repeat chorus

Save the Earth

Q: How can you prevent air pollution?
A: By not eating a lot of gas-sy foods?
LOL!

I still can't get that stupid answer from Beauty & the Geek out of my mind. It is burned there forever.

Signature

Okay, my dear follower has commented (complained more like it) about the signature on my emails. It was a plain text which is a link to my blog. So I decided to make one and this is what I came up with. Is it tacky? Should I push through with it?

Okay, how about this one?

Painting Effect

Field of Tulips

Autumn Bay
I have 2 images to show you because this effect is so easy to get that I made another one right away without even referring back to the tutorial. But I found out that smaller pics would need a little tweaking because it didn't turn out the same. The brush strokes were a bit too big thus the pic would look like a blotted mess. Change some of the filter effect settings.

Background noise anyone?

You know how I am with sleeping (or no sleeping) without any background noise, especially the tv? Well last night there were frequent blackouts that by the time the lights came back at 10 in the evening, I decided to just give up on the lights and tv because I'm already sleepy, or maybe just gotten comfortable without them.

Well, yes, I have finally managed to fall asleep without my usual miscellany. But I woke up at 12 midnight to loud booms and bangs. Fireworks. It's Chinese New Year. Thank you very much, I can't sleep again. Resorted back to me old trusty tv. hehe.

New Year's resolution: I'm not changing my sleeping habits. :P

Pagi the Dog

Okay, so my follower is complaining because she hasn't heard from me for quite a while. I have my reasons. The pc's broke down and reformatted, so now we have no Photoshop. And as you can see, my pre-photoshopped pics aren't really worth seeing. But anyway, as if my post-photoshopped faces were. haha.

This one's of Pagi, my stuffed pug. He is sitting down, which is a position that never occurred to us for the first few weeks we bought him. We always made him lie down and he looked awkward, with his butt sticking up in the air!

Hmm question dear follower, why is it that most of my stuffed dogs are male? Hmmm.
