Down with Windows

For the umpteen time, I just have to say this.. I HATE WINDOWS. I don't hate MS Office nor IE6 or Media Player. I just hate the WIndows OS esp Win XP. My Windows comp crashed again in just a short period of 1.5 months. I really can't stand the frequency of the crashing, it irks me so. It makes me treasure my Apple laptop much more each Windows crash. Believe me, Apple OS do crash but it does so in a understandable way, at least I understand the reasons for the crash because the system tells me in a layman way. For the Windows OS, it just leaves much to be desired, unless you are a real comp technician whiz if not you don't understand the figures on the display.
Let just hope that the new OS; Windows Vista makes a much better performance compared to its predecessor.

The Frog

A frog placed in a boiling hot pot of water would jump out immediately. The frog does that to preserve its life.

But if the frog is placed in a pot of water and it is slowly heated till boiling point. The frog would be cooked to death eventually.

The frog symbolise you and the water represents SIN.

Which frog are you?

Do you dwell in 'small' sin and slowly sink deeper and deeper into it, finally dying in all of your follish ways?

Or do you treat 'small' sin as a big no-no and make a definite stand against it, confess to God and ask for forgiveness?

Actually there's no big or small sin, all are just sin in the eyes of God and it incurs His wrath.

But through God's infinite love and mercy, He is willing to forgive us if we turn away from our sinful ways, ask for His forgiveness and accept Him to guide our lives.

It may be a tough journey, you may still feel very comfortable sitting in the warm water but remember it's boiling slowly, killing you in the end.

What was that?

Hey peps, I've got back my 1st essay that I have written in NUS. And woohoo, I've got an A-. Waha, I can't believe it, but thank God for that. I really didn't do much research for it, all I did was to based my conclusions on the evidence in my readings and poof, out came the essay, mostly crap if you read my previous post. But I should not be complacent just because I got an A-, I should strive to do better for my next essay, I have to uphold my A standard.

My mom brought my faulty digi-cam to Canon service centre today and amazingly, the malfunction was due to a manufacturing default and it get reoaired for free!!!

Money woes

Went to watch Amry Daze today. It was super good man. Though I have read the original book written by Michael Chiang and knew the lines inside out but it was a totally different experience. It relieved my army days as a stupid recruit (as what my BMT sergeant told me, length of hair=knowledge. so recruits are stupid) plus many fun occasions in those 2 years which will alway be part of my growing up.

However, the downside of the show was that my friend bought the most expensive ticket for me. Wah, heart pain. Now I'm $50 poorer, but I think it was worth it.

That's not all. Cos, I'm visiting the dentist tmr. Oh no, it shld cost about another $50 odd. Adding to the pain, I'm going to another concert on the 25/3 which is $25. Woohoo, I'm going to spend quite a lot this month. at least a 100. looks like my iMac 2007 realisation has to be set back by another month or so.

Heart pain, pocket empty, bank account ringing low.

Anyone kind enough to donate to the poor?

Amazing!!!

Unbelievable things have happened this week...

1) I just checked my exam timetable and it's wooaaahhh.. Thank God that my exams finish within a week but haha, it's not really that fantastic as my papers are all back-to-back.. I have 3 papers that's like that. Afternoon paper, followed by an evening paper, then next day, morning paper... I think I can start to ask ard which of my hostel staying friends will let me stay in their room.. hahaz

2) After spending so much time on my essay and handing it up on thurs evening at 5.. I received an email on fri morning @ 7am when I woke up. The email is as follows "Your essays are ready for collection at the office." I was like, am I still dreaming and blinked my eyes a few times to look at the collection date, yup, no mistake about it.. can't believe it that the tutor spend just one night to finish going thru the essay.. I have a 'garang' tutor, looks like I have to up my socks a bit too..

3) I taught children's worship in church today.. hmm, kids nowadays are really getting harder and harder to teach. I had a hard time but thank God that all was fine but I think my standard is still not there yet. I need a lot of practice on how to bring the lesson across.. Hope that I can utilise the time God has given to me wisely to improve on all these aspects.
