East Coast Park

As i'm typing this blog, i was wondering is it truly a good thing to let people know what i did in my life. Does it mean if i'm too honest with myself in this blog, my privacy will be invaded? Indeed it seems so. However, life is never perfect i guess. It is through the different mistakes i made that make my life more unique. Though some things that i blog about may seems shameful, it is still my life. If u love me, you should accept me as who i am, not what i did.

Hmm... manage to met up with You Li today at Compasspoint for Macdonal before we proceed to East Coast Park for a short walk. So sorry for being late. In fact, it does tell people your character when u're late. I do not wish to state all the negative opinion about late comers, but it all boils down to attitude and perhaps circumstantial situation. Therefore i first conclude that my attitude sucks. Haha...

Anyway had a long chat with You Li. Intended to go cycling, but in the end we aborted the idea. Chatted and slept a little at the pavilion. Haix... Anyway the both of us are feeling sad ba, that's why felt restless... The weather was extremely hot!! Next we went to suntec for lunch cum dinner at around 4pm. Had a high fever in the end. I was wondering if it is the durian i ate yesterday or it is the red wine that has the problem. Most probably is food poisoning ba... Still we manage to windowshop around suntec, played "Spot the Difference" before sending her to the Singapore Association For The Deaf for some sign language course.

I hope tomorrow will be a better day... not only for me, but for those who so willingly took up your time to read this blog... thanks!

Family day again!

Hmm... mood seems to brighten up a little this week as my family days commences today! Nothing much was done, but enjoyed the presence of my family most.

Woke up early in the morning and had a great chat with my dad. Chatted about relatives, the stocks he bought, his work, a little of my future? I am seriously considering going into the "hawker business" for the sake of better life in the future. Though it is not what i really what, it should give me a good start after i graduate ba. In fact, i hope to get a job in a pharmaceutical company and keep abreast of all the useful drugs in the market! I hope to invent a cure for HIV patients... perhaps... working towards this goal is not feasible for me. Why? Everything in Singapore needs money. Who will feed a mediocre student for researching potential drugs, which u know will most probably mount to vain, which u know will fail because this student is only of mediocre standard. Let the smart ones do it. Top universities graduates. Let them be the ones who will do all the inventions while i live peaceful in a corner of Singapore. At the very least, i'm not a burden to anyone.

Hmm... thank you dad for bringing me all the way to NTU! Had a nice lunch with my family in Canteen A before going for my lesson. So nice Jessica is in sch also! Met up with her after lesson. Initially she wanted to go home because of a terrifble headache, but it got better. Since she got nothing to do at home, i suggested her to join me for my family day. Haha... i think she was kind and brave enough to accept my invitation.

On the way to meet up my parents for dinner, we met 2 hall 15 people! Chuan Tin's good friend from SBS and a good softball player... Err... don't really know their names! Chatting with the SBS graduate makes me think twice again about my future job prospect. Hmm... i think... she was like a sales personnal selling biotechnology equipment. Well, it does require a science students to understand the use of such complicated equipment before u can market the product. Anyway, i don't think i will be able to see them again... people come and go in your lives... if u didn't keep in contact with them, perhaps u'll never cross path with them again... even if they are nice people....

Dinner time! Had a great dinner ba... Octopus, fishcake, crunchy sweet stuff, fish, pig leg, yam cake, 2 types of noddles, egg toufu, miscellaneous vegetables, crab, sweet fried prawns etc all nicely decorated! Only manage to take a shot of the first dish!

Oh ya... Mei De uncle and family, Mei Qiang uncle family, Da Yi and her husband were present at the dinner! It is like a mini gathering ba.... and i think Jess feels a little awkward? Don't worry Yu Sheng!! She is well taken care of... (^.^) Manage to take another shot at my lovely cousin... :PWhen we reached home, we had durian and red wine!! Enjoyed a lovely movie before i send Jessica home. Seems nice and blissed?

As what i always said. Everything is like a mist. All good things will come to an end. Everything is like a nice disguise, carefully set up to show that "WOW!! Joseph have a nice family!!" when in fact it is not. Shortly, demon took over our family. Smashing, vulgarities, violence, disrespect, unstable, madness and unreasonable behaviour predominates. If you have no fucking idea what happen in the family, then u better keep out of this so that i won't hate u for being a busybody. No more good boy for Joseph. Why? People always thought Joseph is so holy, always go church, didn't scold a single vulgar word from the mouth... In fact things is not so simple. I do everything with a choice. The choice of doing it probably shows what kind of person i am. All i can say is that if this family were to break up, Joseph will change. Most probably for the worse. I will make sure no one will hurt me again. I remember all the bad things that happened in my life and I will never forget it.

Sufferred a small cut and a slight horsed voice. My poor sister bleed. To stop myself from using too much vulgar words in this entry, i shall use it in this last sentence: Tonight is a fuckingly fucked up night, which makes all the fuckers in my life looked more like real fuckers. Sorry mei for using this. Anyway it does not matter anymore. I'm only a kor. A useless kor whom only keeps pitying himself. A shallow kor whom only keeps the outside looks nice, but inside is all filth. A person whom always wanted to have a girlfriend so that he can share his life with someone, but little did people know that this person is fuckingly selfish. Can't even support himself, financially impotent, can't even keep the family intact, can't even keep up with fashion, mug like hell still got average grades, always appear to be the third party, substandard physique that totally turn off girls, erroded values, fucked up ego and you still want to share this sucky life of yours with another person? Mind your own business Joseph, and keep clear of people from reaching their bright future.

Sorry if i offend anyone. Hope all of you have a nice day.

Thoughts

The depressed feeling is still lingering in me. Thanks Yee Chien, Yen Jun, MJ, Huiting and Bugs Bunny for your concern! But i'm not facing any break up k... LOL... Never got a chance to date the people i like, where got the chance to break up?! For the last entry, i'm just typing something which i think... is meaningful ba... perhaps it'll help the people around me who are facing relationship problem?? *Shrug*

For Sunday, it seems that i have an active morning, following which it began to lull in the evening. Today played the piano again and... errm... the depressed feeling seems to multiply... Think i played alright, but still not good enough ba... lots of mistakes... trying to be a perfectionist really worsen my feelings. Anyway, after the service, dad fetched me home. Watched Saw3 and enjoyed all the gruesome images. I like the part where this female doctor physically snip the scalp on the head using a scissors and tear off the skin together with the hair!!! ARGH!!! Blood bleeding profusely from the head as she drilled 4 holes in the head and saw off the pale white skull ( while the patient is alive ) using a mini-saw before prying open the bone!! Wee~!!!! In the end, a pool of blood can be observed in the brain. A very realistic surgery leh... Bravo!!

Next, i chatted for hours in the internet.. Watched InitialD in the evening at 8.45pm in channel U. Did everything other than trying to study my Business finance module. Sad. Just feel that my life is empty.

Perhaps this is life. Meaningless. Perhaps it is suppose to be like that when i'm living a life without God. Perhaps this is what i'm suppose to expect. I am in charge of painting my life with rainbow colours, yet, i feel the chance is far from me. I always thought its near... i'm dreaming... Perhaps i can forget about the rainbow for the time being and concentrate on a few colours first... afterall to paint a rainbow needs both hands...

Talking about hands, i think my left hand is equally as important as my right hand despite the fact that my right hand is stronger. In fact, i give most credit to my left hand when i'm driving on the road. I feel more comfortable using it as it is more sensitive. Been thinking... although it is the weaker hand, it guides me to safety when i need it the most during driving. This make me think... in real life, though wife may seems be the "weaker sex" , i believe she still plays an important role in the family.

That's all for my grandmother story ba...

Depressed

Sian... Failed IPPT today. Reason? Running. This is not Joseph's standard and is certainly NOT acceptable in my dictionary. I will try again and again. Promise.

Hmm... Bugs Bunny is heartbroken today too. It cried. I cannot do anything. Helpless. Heartbroken also.

My feelings...
True love loves forever, even if the love is unrequited.
Love, is like a rainbow.
Enchanting. Lovely. Pleasant. Simple. Nothing to hide.
Beautifully created from 2 passionate hearts.
Yet its existance is so faint. Delicate. Fragile. Shatterable.
Pain and sufferring is inevitable.
But i come to understand that its from pain that true love is born.

A break up is like a broken mirror. It is better to leave it broken than hurt yourself trying to fix it.

Letting go someone dear to you is hard, but holding on to someone who doesn't love you is much harder.
Giving up doesn't mean you are weak. It only means that you are strong enough to let go.

Loving you was easy, leaving you was hard.
Knowing you are no longer mine, is the hardest of it all.

You hurt me more than i deserve, yet I will love you more than you deserve.

Everytime i see you smile, i smiled. Not because I'm happy to see you, but because i've realized you're finally going to be alright without me.
No one can ever promise you they will never hurt you. The real promise is if the time you spend together will be worth the pain in the end.

Everything is like a mist. Nothing last forever. Love you Dad and mum.

Fathers' day?

Today is Fathers' day!!! However, i did not celebrate with my dad at all. -____________- "
Something unhappy happened ba. Anyway, i slept for 3 hours only before reaching church at 8.30am. Oh ya! Jia Yu and his family was back from Hongkong! It has been really long since i last saw him. 3 years? Had a small chat with him. Good to know he's doing well in his job! Hmm.... then HT suddenly smsed me and told me that she's working in sengkang today! Visited her a while in the afternoon.. Next i went out with my sister to PS ( Burger King for Lunch! ) and Raffles Shopping Centre before heading home. Bang on the piano for a while before going for a run. A run?!?!? Ya... wanna get silver ma.... No wonder i'm so tired... Feel so sian...

Seems that i've achieved nothing? LOL!! After the run, i did a packing up of my mobilisation equipment! :P Was so proud of myself that i did it all so early!!All the sewing has been done, packed everything nicely in the different packets, labelled them and now only waiting for my field pack to dry before squeezing them into it. Hmm... so impressed with myself that i got everything done in 2 days! ( with standard one k! ) Anyway i view neatness as a discipline, not something sissy. I'm still proud to say that i'm a neat boy.

Ok ba! Today is a simple day, but i still enjoyed it. (^.^) Greatful to see all my friends. Thankful that everything is still fine at home...

Mahjong Session

Yesterday just ended my ICT. Met up with my sister almost immediately cos she was within the vicinity!! Haha! We then went to Novena for windowshopping. Saw many beautiful cupcakes!! Haix.. didn't manage to capture any images about it cos no camara allowed during my ICT. Anyway my sister tried the chocolate-rich cupcake with a cup of lemon drink while i tried the cupcake decorated with pokey sticks and biscuit powder with a cup of Bandong drink ( mixed with malase seed ). It was fabulous! Then we went to have herbal chicken for dinner. Hmm... not really nice, but still manage to finish the herbal chicken. Haha! Don't know why my sister have so much affinity for herbal chicken and fish and chip...

Next, i met up with Daniel and Yu Sheng in the coffeeshop ( KPT ) opposite punggol park for dinner before meeting up with YF for a game of Mahjong. LOL!! All of us did win a round or two la... nice game! After which, my sister took over me and played with my friends. Seems like my sister is enjoying the company of my friend! Had a great supper "sponsored" by my dad!! After which i recommended my friends to watch a very nice show " We were soldiers" and i think they enjoyed it! My sister then played card games with Yu Sheng and Daniel while i chatted with YF until dawn.

School starting soon for me. Perhaps life will be busy again? Still, i hope everything will turn out fine for everyone, especially those people around me. I hope things are fine with them and their loved ones. Although unhappy things may happen, i can always lend a listening ear for u... (^.^)

After thoughts of reservist

Freedom. Finally the days from the first In-camp training is over. In fact, i'm not suppose to blog anything about what we did inside the camps; some sort of like exposing restricted infomations into the public domain. Hmm... in that case, i'll try to be careful with what i'll be blogging k?

After the first ICT, perhaps i've learned to deal with loneliness, tiredness and boredom more le. No maid, no washing machine, no clean toilet paper, no computer, limited usage of hp ( cos forget to bring charger ), dusty training area and forced to climb 250steps of stairs everyday. Lucky got food and water. Most importantly, it some sort of like getting to know our specific role in times of war and serves as a gathering of our NS friends! Hmm... saw a lot of familiar faces and is relieve that they're still coping well in their life.

I missed my parents a lot. Miss my sister the most. Felt loved by my siblings when i reached home! Though they did nothing, their presence is enough.

I asked my friend why SAF hire so many "useless" people who love to slack so much. He replied me because Singapore is a green country, so we need a lot of "greenies" to beautify SAF as well. Imagine that one of my commander actually brought 2 fishing rod to one of the training area for fishing?? Seen 2 coconuts in their rover btw. Sorry for being a critic, but i just don't like SAF no matter what.

Anyway our battalion is using a very high tech stuff in the Artillery formation la, but everything cock up. I love the way everyone screw everything up. In the end, i'm screwed up as well. LOL!!! I'm suppose to comment generally remember? If not i'll be charge in court for telling too much restricted stuff in public domain. Oh well... anything... as long as everything is screwed up, i'm fine with anything.

Toin is very kind of me. Glad that the people i worked with are enjoyable and willing to tolerate lots of shitty stuff together. Thankful to have them around cos without them, life will be miserable. Thanks Wee Hong, Lionel, Beng Chun, Goh, Lee, Tham, Jeremy, Toin, Eio, Foo etc for braving all the "shit" together. We are indeed great "shit" fighter. Although life will be back to normal, just pray that everyone will be coping well during working and excel in studies. All the best to your relationship Lionel!!

Intersem 2 is starting and i hope to learn something new from it!! Thanks for reading my blog!!

A few hours before my first reservist~

In 5 hours time, i'll be leaving home for reservist le. Feeling stupid. Our "K" kor kor want us to go in duffle bag with everything chunk inside?!!? I think i'll just go in full battle order. Bulky, but no choice. So don't expect me to blog until this fri ya? Of course after fri, my life will once again be bright and cheerful~ (^.^)

Sian... Didn't play well in church today. A lot of mistakes. Expected, cos didn't practise hard and slept only 3 hours. So disappointed with myself. I think Mu Gao Lao Shi also feel the same way ba. Haha... should not even agree to help lo... in the end demoralized myself only... Anyway thankful that i still can serve God. Thankful for people like Jing Ying auntie in church who always encourages me. Thankful for all the babies which put on a smile on my face!

Today Bugs Bunny is not happy. Bugs Bunny loves Taz! But what should Bugs Bunny do if Taz have a strong desire for its freedom, and does not care how Bugs Bunny feel? Taz feel painful to be with Bugs Bunny. Bugs Bunny feel miserable but hope Taz could like Bugs Bunny more. Taz was starting to dislike Bugs Bunny again. Anyone can give useful comment? Any encouragement for Bugs Bunny and Taz? Bugs Bunny/Taz will be visiting my blog and hope all of you can help them!!

That's all! All the best to those taking Intersem 1 exams!! As for Intersem 2, the battle begins for me next week. I MUST NOT GIVE UP! :P

Code Red

Today i had the chance to participate in a new TV programme that is coming up! It's called "Code Red". Reached Kampong Chai Chee Community Centre at 1030am and saw the whole lot of Mediacorp team busy preparing. They are going to film the 5th episode of "Code Red". Of course we saw Adrian Pang, Kym Ng, Michelle Chia and Ben Yeo!! Kym Ng is indeed really very pretty and chirpy! Always portray a positive attitude and funny at times. Michelle Chia is rather quiet during the entire filming. Ben Yeo and Adrian Pang can be very funny... LOL!!

Now now... take a look at this weather!! Super duper hot!!
The entire CC is burning hot!! What's worse, we stayed there under this strong sun for at least 3 hours. Now my skin is scorched by the sun. Sunburn. Skin super red. Expected to peel in 3 days time, and i believe i'm going to experience more sun-scorching events by SAF during reservist next week.

In fact, i came to this filming not knowing a single thing. When i first reached, we are told to film an "introduction" first. Next, we MUST remember the "poem" before we were tested on the general knowledge in the history of Singapore in order to qualify!! E.g. What is Singapore known as when the Jap took over it? ( Shonan ) Who is the Minister of Singapore National Development Department? ( Its Ma BaoShan ) Above is the pic where we say out the "poem". If both failed, then you cannot participate in the filming already! My friend Joseph #2 didn't manage to make it to the team... haix...

Once we register with our NRIC, they issued a standard red-coloured shirt for all of us. During the questioning session, i can't believe it when people actually took out notes to read!! OMG!! I can recognise the notes!! It is from the website that introduces our Cabinet. Read it a few days ago though.
http://www.cabinet.gov.sg/CabinetAppointments/index.htm
A few people bought map along too! Hmm... Anyway did enjoy myself. Though our group (lead by Michelle Chia) lost, i enjoy my teammates presence. In fact, most of them are 29 years old. Let me stress again... 29, not 30. Well... girls are very particular actually... haha! My teammates are very nice and friendly people! Especially Jane, who is super outgoing and confident. She have that kind of leadership quality leh. One of them even suggest touching my face leh... cos she think my face very smooth. Err... LOL!! So funny... but hor, imagine they still can get together years after they graduated from their poly days? They really cherish their friendship! They are actually from the same club; Outdoor Adventure Club. Like them a lot... but didn't get all their contacts. Opps... Think hard to contact them le. Haha!!

Do come back to check this entry again! I may get the photos from them and then update this entry again. :P

Before i end this entry, hmm.. chatted with Wan Jing and she said Jo1 think i have schizophrenia. Super dots leh... ( btw, i'm Jo2 ) LOL!!!

A Friday afternoon

Everything is in fast pace. Currently, i'm watching a show called " Attack No 1 " from crunchyroll website and wow... it's really nice! I cried at least twice from this show. Very good sportsmanship was shown in the show.

Today I got back my exam results!! Was very nervous indeed as i logged on studentlink and check my results. LOL!!! Elated. Intoxicated with an euphoric "highness"! Ok... i must admit that my grades were mediocre, but nonetheless, the grades i've got this semester is the best during my years in NTU!! GPA 4.2 !! Haha... compared to myself, i did well! Was rather disappointed with my Biophysics and Virology actually. Anyway, hope i can maintain the grades!

Finally today, i returned the sunblock products at 4pm today. Hmm... weather was very hot. Reached I.E.C. before going to a building located just across the road of Lucky Plaza for examinations by a dermatologist. Level 16 to be exact. Indeed, the place was clean... very very white and... more white then ever... Everything is white, the chair, the floor, the celling, the uniform, the shelves, the laptop, the toilet bowl, the drinking machine, the paper etc. Most importantly, the face of the "nurses" are white as well. Seems... a little... under-nutritioned ... Does not seems to exposed to the sun for centuries...

Upon seeing the doctor, he asked me a few questions such as:

" Having u been to other countries before?"

"Applied the product to your face at least 2 times a day?"

"Taken any medication?"

"Any parts of your face feel itchy, swollen or reddness, etc?"

After asking, he took out a "magnifying spectacle" and observe my face. OMG! He look funny with that spectacle... seems like a goldfish though... Anyway, the most important thing is i got my $30!! Didn't fully obey the protocol of the experiment, but i'll be careful in future!

See... even the lifts are white in colour. LOL!! Speckless clean everywhere i go. Nice place.After which, meet up with MJ. Hmm... a sick person should take care ya? Balance diet and proper sleep is important! Finally had a chat with her and get to know more about her. Oh ya... chatted with Alister yesterday at Tampines Mac from 8.30pm to 11pm. Haha! Has been long since i met up with my JC buddy and yup! He seems to enjoy the army days and is still coping well in NUS. Haha! Still loves chemistry as usual...

That's all! Tomorrow will be another busy day for me.

Simple life

In fact, nothing happened today. Life is peaceful. Serenity that it. Had a great dinner!! Watched Death Note ( 2nd time! ), God of Cookery, followed by God of Gamblers. Late in the night, my sister bought me a cup of bandong soya bean milk with pearl!! Thanks so much... :PThis may be a small thing, but i'm always thankful for little things in my life... (^.^) That's all!

Science and Evolution

Creation
The Universe had a beginning.
Anything that has a beginning must have been caused by something else.
Therefore, the universe, was caused by something else, and this cause was God

If everything needs a cause, then what caused God??
We didn't say that everything needs a cause; we said that everything that has a beginning needs a cause. Only Finite things need a cause. God didn't have a beginning; He is infinite and He is necessary. God is the uncaused cause of all finite things. We cannot ask,"who caused God?" because God is the first cause. You can't go back any further than a first.

If God created all things, then how did He create himself?
Only finite begins need causes. There are only three possible kinds of begin;
1) Self-caused 2) Caused by another 3) Uncaused
For human
Self-caused? Impossible. We cannot bring ourselves to existence.
Uncaused? Impossible. We are not necessary eternal, infinite beings.
What kind of being is God?
Self-caused? Impossible
Caused by another? Leads to an infinite regress.
He must be uncaused.

Can God make a mountain so big that He can't move it?
This is another meaningless question. It asks, " Is there something that is more than infinite?" It is logically impossible for anything to be more than infinite, because infinite has no end.
"Can God make a square circle?"
"What is the smell of blue?"
These are logically impossibilities. They contradict themselves.
He has the power to do anything that is actually possible, even if it is impossible for us.

The difference between operation and origin science.
Operation science deals with the way things normally operate. It examines how the world normally works in the present. It studies things that happen over and over again in a regular and repeated way. Operation science seeks answers that are testable by repeating the experiment over and over, and falsifiable if the cause does not always yield the same effect. Its conclusion should allow one to project what will happen in future experiments. Operation science likes things to be very regular and predictable. No changes; no surprises. So the idea of a supernatural being coming around to stir things up occasionally is strongly resisted. Because of this, it usually seeks out natural causes for the events it studies.
Origin science is not just another name for giving evidence to support creationism. It is a different kind of science. Origin science studies past singularities, rather than present normalities. It looks at how things began, not how they work. It studies things that only happened once and, by their nature, don't happen again. It is a different type of study that requires a different approach. Rather than begin an empirical science like physics or biology, it is more like a forensic science. Remember the TV show about a medical examiner named Quincy? Each week he tried to find out what and/who caused a past singularity ( a person's death ) by examining the effect and deciding what kind of thing could have caused that event. That is what origin science seeks to do.

Now origin science works on different principles that operation science does. Since the past events that is studied cannot be repeated today, it uses analogies between the kinds of cause/effect relationships that we see today and the kind of effect that is being studied. Also, origin science does not claim to give definitive answers, but only plausible ones. We did not observe the events of origins, and we cannot repeat them ( just as Quincy could not ask the murderer to kill the victim again). So the remaining evidence must be studied, the interpretation of it measured by what seems most likely to explain the evidence. And just as operation science recognizes that some events demand an intelligent cause, origin science also admits an intelligent cause when the evidence calls for it.

The first step in the basic argument against evolution is that it has taken the wrong approach. It has applied the principles of operation science to the study of origins. It is seeking regular and repeated causes for events that occurred only once. It has forced the operations that are presently working in the world to explain how the world got here in the first place. Using this method, it is a foregone conclusion that it originated by a process; processes are what operation science studies. But it is confusing to assume that unique and singular events, such as the beginning of the universe or first life, should be studied in terms of regular and repeated process. To understand origins, we must use origin science, not operations science.

There are three types of Order for intelligent primary causes:
1. Orderly ( repetitive ) and specified
Gift Gift Gift Gift
Examples: Crystals, nylon

2. Complex ( unrepeating ) and unspecified
TGELDHT TBWMHQC PUQXHBTJS
Examples: Random polymers

3. Complex ( unrepeating ) and specified
A Message Is Riding On This Sequence
Example: DNA

Whether is be a sculpture, a name written in the sand, or a smoke signal we instantly recognize that it took some smarts to do that - it didn't happen by itself. And all of out present experience confirms this to us. It is universally true of the things that we find in the world today, so it is reasonable to assume that it has always been that way.

A great deal of evidence now supports the option that the universe had a beginning. Robert Jastrow, a founder and former director of NASA's Goddard Institute for space studies, has summarized the evidence in his book God and the Astronomers, saying," How three lines of evidence - motion of the galazies, the laws of thermodynamics, and the life story of the stars- pointed to one conclusion: all indicated that the universe had a beginning." Now if we are speaking of a beginning of the universe - a movement from no matter to matter - then we are clearly in the realm of unrepeatable events covered by origin science.

Logically, if we are looking for a cause which existed before the entirety of nature ( the universe ) existed, we are looking for a supernatural cause. Even Jastrow, a confirmed agnostic, has said as much: That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work now, I think, a scientifically proven fact." Since he is speaking from the view point of operation science, he probably means that there is no secondary cause which can explain the origin of the universe. But with the recognition of origin science, we can pose a supernatural primary cause that seems to be the most plausible answer to the question. Jastrow closes his book God and the Astronomers with these words:

For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.

Missing in action

Hmm... haven't been blogging for the past 4 days! Don't know why, but there is just nothing much to account for. Had a hard time thinking what i did already!

Hmm... if i didn't recall wrongly, i reformatted my laptop! Tried to reformat my laptop a few times this week, but i don't know how!! Asked Yi Hui, and she replied me the Rescue and Recovery discs can be created. True... But i'm still in trouble. ( i'm too noob perhaps ) In the end when i called the IBM servicing team. They send someone from KL to call me! After much attempt to guide me ( they're very polite! ), they said i have to come down to 9 Changi Business Park Central 1 ( very near EXPO actually ) because there was no "reformat data" in the BIOS ( some operating system in my laptop ). SIAN DIAO. Immediately, i packed my stuff and go there before it closes at 7.30pm. Stayed there for 2 whole hours waiting just to format my com.

After i've formatted my com in one of their office ( by myself ), then they mentioned: there is no microsoft office for walk-in customer. When you buy laptop from NTU, they use a program called GHOST to make an "image" of microsoft software, but they removed the "reformat data" as well. Which means once i reformatted my com in IBM servicing centre, i have no more microsoft office. How am i going to do my lap report when school reopens? Super duper sian and sad. Then i spent the next few days searching the internet for free microsoft office downloads. Still... effort wasted cos nothing is found.

Anyway, computer aside, i did had an enjoyable time with my sister as we played the piano and cycle around the neighbourhood on sat! haha! My sister enjoyed herself very much from what i can see. All i want is her to be happy. After which my maid prepared fish and chip for us! She is a superb cook:

Haha! Finally on sun, i bravely set foot on the suntec alone! Squeeze through the crowd and walked for 2 hours. In the end, i bought a 1G thumbdrive for $22 and a 2M pixel webcam for $22.50. Haha! Enjoyed squeezing through though... :P

That's all! Not much pic, but hope all of u are at least informed about my life. Sms me when all of u are free k!
