Related post: Technologically April Fools'Sixniner reminded me of the trick I was supposed to pull on my brother. Luckily he was still asleep, so I set the trick up. Just flipped the mouse button orientation from right-handed to left-handed. And actually, the instructions said that for additional fun, "slow down the double-click speed". Well I dunno if it's because my …
I thought hard for over an hour before deciding to skip QotW again. That means that I probably won't be able to skip anymore after this, but well, I've got too many things coming together at once. Getting a running nose really isn't helping either. This is not an excuse by the way. Think of it as a journal record, for memory's sake.Of how bittersweet this semester was.

南洋之子: Singapore anti smoking TV ads receives bad reviewSo here's my (family's) take on the new smoking ad.It's unbelievable.If you can gross people out and make them stop smoking, then I s …
http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/article_view.asp?at_code=400450Media giants team up with Microsoft to take down Google.YouTube, the famous video sharing Web site founded in 2005 by two 20-year-olds and recently sold to Internet giant Google -- also founded by 20-year-olds, in 1998 -- rose quickly and with almost no competition to be, like Google, a worldwide reference …
Another day spent meeting new people, experimenting with new programs, venturing into unfamiliar waters, and essentially doing nothing useful.Just got off my first encounter with Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. Like the first time I used Photoshop, I was fumbling around, accidentally slicing off audio from the video clip, clicking in a million places, and so on. However, experience …
Dropped by 536 to say hi to Kevin today. Previously he floored us all (most of us listening anyway) by announcing that he had SIM install Second Life in their computers. Today he advised us to get an early start on it, since the QotW would involve immersing yourself in the game. And indeed we came up with some big plans to build SIM in SL's Lion City. But that's for later.So …
Haven't posted videos for a long time so here's something. This guy is a popular Youtube comedian who puts up videos making fun of celebrities and the latest news in Hollywood. He reminds me of Greg Proops, and equally funny as well. Here are two of his clips.
Well this is terribly disappointing.I was serving at Children's Church today and just before second service started I was hanging around the outside of the room, behind the admin people to (very nicely) show kids to their 'zones' in the room. I think it was the first time that Praise Kids I and II were having combined praise & worship, so there were 200+ kids playing their …
One of my friends recently got shirty with me, and to my dismay, he later attributed his tick-off to the fact that everytime I talk about my parents, aside from getting gifts and birthdays, I'd be bitching about them.Which, well, is sadly true. Just half a week ago I was bitching again. I was a little miffed because now everytime I bitch I feel so conscious and guilty and …
Welcome to a new level of shittiness. My computer is so lousy I can't even play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory without it lagging.Muhhhhhhhuhuhuhuhhhhhhhhh........ T_T
A conversation with my friend turned towards the subject of how we've all changed. Our first couple of semesters in UB-SIM were as combined classes with the other major, BscBA. So we did everything together - classes, lunch, pool, BBQ. If you found one of us, chances are you found the whole group. Other cliques were torn apart by internal conflict, but we, the 'Mostly …
At least not with food.Recall: I already had one whole bag of Ruffles to myself, and a Coke.Even after I burped myself gasless I was still feeling bloated. Then my dad came back with the KFC two-piece meal, with Cheese Fries instead of coleslaw.I shouldn't have taken my dad's word for it that we were sharing the meal. He said we were because he was taking a long stroll to …
I was about to commence my Grand Plan today.I was about to go to the gym. I was about to work out. I was about to make myself sweat. Considering that my previous sweat-proneness seems to have greatly lessened, that couldn't be further from the status quo (did I use that correctly?).But I was thwarted. Thwarted thwarted THWARTED. By whom?! My dad! He messaged me to inform he …
Guess it takes time, to realise how blessed I am, to be in New Creation Church.I went to the church camp expecting nothing, giving God moving space to work in me. I came out of the camp shouting and proclaiming that I would witness to everyone under the sound of my voice. Since then I've fallen short of the glory of the Lord countless times... daily...For lack of a more apt …
My first proper rock concert.Well except for that time I attended Singapore Metal Fest '05. But that's a metal gig. This is a rock concert - ear-shattering volume, screaming all over, jumping.Prior to the start of the concert they played some videos of United overseas. At the slightest hint of action though, people would start screaming, which Bao and I found a little …
On Friday, I prayed:Father, we may never fully understand Your love for us. Yet Lord, show us that little bit that we do understand.Today, as Pastor Lian preached, I slowly re-realized His love for me. I know His love, but today, I realized it again.Pastor Lian shared this story in closing about this boy who was granted his wish for a bicycle for a birthday present, on …
There are some things you just don't tell anybody, or just your bestest best friend.Hello my bruddas and sistars in Christ, I'm back at it again. Going emo hoo0~!Yesterday, Friday, I wanted some time alone with Padre Mio. There was an hour left to the start of class. But gee in SIM, there's hardly a place private enough. Maybe the 5th level space, but even I cross that part …
My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ,I haven't been blogging here because I've not been experiencing the joy and peace of the Lord, at least not as much and constantly as I'd like.I think I've just pulled myself out of a rather bad state. In the previous week or two I found myself unwillingly returned to my previous life, filled with doubt and depression. But before I go …
