Windows XP Candy Cane Screensaver

This is a few days late for Christmas, but I just remembered a Windows XP has an Easter Egg that lets you turn your 3D pipes screensaver into candy cane pipes. I think it's pretty cool, and it's real easy to do, so here's the steps:
  1. Right click on your desktop and go into properties.
  2. Click the Screen Saver tab and in the drop down box, select 3D Pipes.
  3. Click settings.
  4. Under Surface Style, select Textured.
  5. Click the Choose Texture button, when the window pops up, click Cancel.
  6. Click Okay on the Screen Saver setup.
  7. And your screen saver should now be candy cane 3D pipes! :)
Note that this easter egg only work in Windows XP.

Now for something completely different. I saw my neighbour's 2 month old baby daughter today and I'm spazzing out at how cute she is! Her name is Nina (or Lina, the mother has a little bit of an accent) and she is adorable. Her mum says she likes me because she smiled at me. Nina is so little and her skin is so nice.

Merry Christmas Everyone!



Merry Christmas everybody. I went to Sydney Aquatic Centre at Sydney Olympic Centre yesterday. Mum's birthday is today, but she has to work today. Even though western shops close, her working place is Chinese. I had lots of fun there. The water's all heated to various degrees, with the spas being the warmest. There were water slides and sauna and other fun facilities. And the showers are hot. I suppose the Sydney Olympic Park swimming centre would have warm showers, but it's just so unusual.

Afterwards we went out to eat again, lots of hot (in the chili way) sheep stuff again. Yummy food!

I gave mum the necklace I bought her for her birthday today, since, you know, it's her birthday. She liked it and put it on immediately, but promptly broke it an hour later by fiddling with it. *sigh* It's the thought that counts?

Okay, Merry Christmas again even though it's a bit late in the day (I found out in the morning that I still had math tutor homework left undone, and I thought I did them all T_T)
