Thank You

To all you guys who helped out in the handmime tonight. Kind of afraid to name names because I’ll probably miss somebody but here goes anyway starting from the left: Shasha, Sheiela, Kristina, Ryan, Emily, Sam, Michelle, Anand, Karen, Sharon, Sherly (told you I’ll miss somebody), Caroline; and the helpers: Shawn, Brian and Sarah; and photographer Nick (another person I missed)
A big thank you to all and continue to serve Him in whatever way you can: nothing is too small or insignificant.

Note to self: bring more Blu Tack the next time around

Edit: See I told you I’d miss somebody. Thinking too much of office and personal work. Aaaahhhhh. Now I got the ‘mice love rice’ song in my head!!!

An Ode To A Server Room

Server room, server how have you been?
It’s been a long time much longer than it should seem.

After a long hiatus we are back together.
If only the master of the door never had to take leave…ever.

How I’ve missed your ability to provide dual monitor support;
With the LCD monitor with who I’ve built good rapport.

Your network cable long, blue, winding and unobtrusive.
Unlike the other: short, intermittent, trip-inducing and obstructive.

The hum of the servers, that seek your refuge, buzz in the air,
As I happily work away on my humble little chair

A chair that swivels, pivots and whose height can vary,
As opposed to the fixed stiff one that didn’t leave me merry

So here’s to a new year with lots of work and documentation to be done,
Despite spending new year’s eve and day with your competition on Ground level one.

Do not be jealous for the front desk is good,
Easy to access and accommodates more food.

But alas I will return in due time I shall,
For more work to be done with the Server Room, my Pal

Ok I don’t know if that makes me sad or just that weird or both.

So here’s to a new year:

I want this…

baby vac

Assembly:

  1. Insert the evacuator (A) into the collecting cylinder (B)

  2. Turn on your household vacuum cleaner between 800Watt and 1500Watt

  3. Insert the vacuum cleaner adapter (C) into the attachment hose on the vacuum

  4. Place your child in a sitting/upright position on your lap and hold him/her safely

  5. Put the evacuator (A) into his/her one nostril and leave the suction on until the mucus goes into the evacuator

  6. Repeat the process with your child other nostril

  7. When you finished with the process take away the Baby Vac from the child’s head

Though I am a bit weary of plugging it into a household vacuum cleaner =|

My Night Life

my night life
Well thats my room [starting from the left: UPS – green and orange, keyboard – green, speaker – green, mouse – blue (Razer Diamondback Plasma), power extension – red, laptop – blue x 3 and green (though it’s supposed to be blue, green, nothing, green)]. Was having pretty bad coughing bouts, the type where you almost puke =S Then after taking this picture and having read Photography Video Tutorial: Light Speed Escalator (Digg it!) in the afternoon I decided to try get fancy and actually do something. So 189 photos later I still didn’t get what I wanted so I will have to resort to GIMP-ing it (as opposed to Photoshopping: free-of-charge FLOSS rocks).

I was trying to do a spiral kind of thing but didn’t work out. Only really happy with the following 2 photos:

Do not ask for easy lives

“Do not ask for easy lives, pray to be stronger. Do not pray for tasks equal to our powers, pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle. Every day you shall wonder at yourself, at the richness of life which has come to you by the grace of God.”

Me is criminal?

A common misconception among citizens is that personal use quantities of chewing gum are allowed into Singapore. However, according to the set of Regulations, “importing” means to “bring or cause to be brought into Singapore by land, water or air from any place which is outside Singapore …” any goods, even if they are not for purposes of trade. The set of Regulations also does not make any provisions for personal use quantities to be brought into Singapore. Therefore, bringing chewing gum into Singapore, even small quantities for whatever purpose, is technically prohibited.


Whoopsie!!

Do I really know who I am?

Have you ever stopped and thought how you react to possible situations in your life?
You think of the type of person you want to be and “do the right thing”.
Have you ever found yourself actually living out that situation and doing the exact thing that you thought you would never do because you never wanted to become the bad / stupid / insensitive / idiotic one?
Well I did. Tonight especially. And I’m sorry to you. There have been other days too arising from basically thinking too much or having insecurities. You’d think that at an age of 24 going 25 (soon) you think some things would be more or less settled. But no. In times like these you think to yourself perhaps it would have been better off if I hadn’t experienced this but on the other hand without this experience you would not know how to guide / help those facing the same problem. Then also how can you think about helping others when you can barely even help yourself.

I have the same question resounding in my head.
“Do you do what you say you believe?”
Because what we say and what we do can be totally mutually exclusive. Something to chew on in my coming December, my month of rest. For remember God ordained rest thus it is our right and, sometimes for people like me, responsibility to rest.
