More Name Games

Well... yeah, I am a norturnal creature :P

How many of us are like this?

Take a moment to reflect, are any of you in danger of commiting any of these?

Think I'm gona die a young man

Fuck, went for medical checkup today. GOT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE!!! ME!!! HBP!!! I don't overeat, virtually no snacks, exercise regularly, eat more vegetables than meat, don't lose my temper easily, take most things calmly and easily, STILL GOT HBP.

My pressure is 160/90. WHAT THE FUCK. Normal pressure for a male my age should be 130/80. This HBP news might as well give me a heart attack and kill me. PUI!

Life isn't fair. I know. It's gona take some time for me to swallow this bitter pill. I'm still gona swallow and digest it though. Stupid genes from father side. I'LL SHOW YOU!!! You won't be a crutch in my life.

In parting: FUCK YOU

I'll make sure my power tools are always handy!!! :)

got this from a fren of mine(points to the left). Quite inspiring, but Virgos, don't use this as another excuse to go abt criticising others or be nity-picky over some work.


The Carpenter's House
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and spend more time with his family. The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour and the carpenter agreed. However, it was plain to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials.

When the carpenter finished his work, his employer handed the front-door key to the carpenter and said, "This is your house; my gift to you."

The poor carpenter was in shock and shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the shoddy home he had built.

Is this the same with us? We may be building our lives in such a distracted way, by reacting rather than acting, by putting in the least instead of our best. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.


p.s. RB's bday this friday!!!

3 more weeks in sunny Singapore!!!

Beautiful, ain't it? Had a marvellous time in Redang. The snorkelling especially. This is only the 2nd time I've gone snorkelling and each time just leaves me wanting more. We were really lucky that it didn't rain once for the 2 days we dived into the embrace of Redang's crystal clear waters. This was the first time we ever went overseas as a class too, so it had a special significance in displaying how far along the bond we have amongst us has come. Can't wait for nxt year!!! *winks*

For Geeks

Like you and me :P

Those of you who use Firefox as your browser, which every secure-no pop up-safe-tabbing surfing experience liking person should do, might be interested in a proven way to boost the speed and performance of Firefox. I've tried it myself and it does improve browse speeds TREMENDOUSLY. Of course, d/l and u/l speeds aren't affected as your bandwidth isn't physically increased. Just the way data is processed. ;)

Right click your icon for firefox and select properties. add this to the target at the end
/Prefetch:1

Should look something like this "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" /Prefetch:1

Relaunch firefox.

Or to make the internetz Go even faster then they will with that boosty thingy, save this file:

http://users.tns.net/~skingery/weblog/user.js

to this folder:

- In Windows XP, it is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\default.###\

How do you find someone to share this?

When and how can you know if it is the right person or time to share the most precious thing in the world: yourself

I can imagine how lonely this boy must feel. Still, this video made me feel warm inside.



saw the video here

How fast are you? (click!)

Go try and find out your speed from link above, is it similar to mine below?

Communications 629.1 kilobits per second
Storage 76.8 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 13.3 seconds
Subjective rating Not bad


I think it's a shit rating. Compared to the kind of bandwidth and speed ISPs are giving to those in USA and UK. Here's what a friend of mine in the UK has:

1.1 megabits per second
Communications 1.1 megabits per second
Storage 134.2 kilobytes per second
1MB file download 7.6 seconds
Subjective rating Good

and in USA......

Communications 10.1 megabits per second
Storage 1.2 megabytes per second
1MB file download 0.8 seconds
Subjective rating Unbelievable


geez.... Seriously.... I'm jealous.

My Thanks

Gal, thank you for your bravery and honesty.

It's friends like you that makes it worth while fighting on for life and the future.

adieu, my black beauty

she served me well and will be thought of fondly always.

The Dream Approaches

September beckons as time continues its headlong charge


As always.


Dreams begin but will I change it to reality as I myself so charged?


As always.


Smiles, hugs, greetings, shoulder pats and handshakes, but why do I dread these cold sheets at night?


By myself I cry,
As always.


Vision fogs and I plead for my support pillar to guide me through this wet fog. Echoes I hear.


As always.


End September,
end the partings,
end the searching,
end the loneliness,
end the coming of age,
end the longing,
end the heartache,
end the fear.


End not, however, living the life.

As ever.


Wake me up when September ends.

As reborn.

Can't sleep this Sunday night and I have to admit, this .... thing above has been bumping around in my head noisily for quite some time now. So, hopefully I've now exorcised it out of my system. Pretty obvious what I'm writing about.

Oh yeah, credit must of course go to Green Day, their song did inspire this (in a way lah, it was more of my current situation/circumstance) after all.
