Mental Constipation

A lot of thoughts, but can't seem to bring them out somehow..

Fat?

It sickens me to see how perfectly healthy people (or those who're not so well already) around go all "crazy" about trying to lose weight and all, at the expense of their health. The most common one is when they just try to (or sometimes, "conveniently") stop eating at times when they should be.

Even for a Christian, we know that looks isn't the most important thing, and that even looking nice doesn't mean having a stick-thin figure, but many still act as if it is.

I think one way to help is to not to do or say anything that makes people think like this. But especially so, we need to keep going back to Christ, from the Word. For this is the only way to what is truly good, and the only way to continue on the path that we've been set on.

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives-- when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external--the braiding of hair, the wearing of gold, or the putting on of clothing-- but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.

Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.
(1Pe 3:1-7, ESV)

Leng Xiao Hua

My friends saw my wallpaper as I was booting up my laptop. The following conversation ensued:

F: What's that thing beside the giraffe?

Me: Oh that's a coconut tree.

F: Oh..then where's the mouse?

Me: (immediately moves the mouse cursor) There!

F, D: .......

D: It's very cold here...

MozBackup - Backup tool for Firefox and Thunderbird

Recently my FireFox has been refusing to let me login to ANY google related site, forcing me to revert to IE7 for the time being. And since the portable version still works in school, I think I will need to reinstall FireFox along with everything else... =

Found this tool at http://mozbackup.jasnapaka.com/ whilst trying to find a way to port my firefox profile with all the customisations, bookmarks, passwords and whatnot. I hope this one works.

The website says:

MozBackup is a simple utility for creating backups of Mozilla
Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite and Netscape profiles.

Sounds promising!

The Servant King

From heaven you came, helpless babe
Entered our world, your glory veiled
Not to be served but to serve
And give your life that we might live

This is our God, the servant king
He calls us now to follow him
To bring our lives as a daily offering
of worship to the servant King

Come see his hands and his feet
the scars that speak of sacrifice
hands that flung stars into space
to cruel nails surrendered

So let us learn how to serve
and in our lives enthrone him
Each others needs to prefer
for it is Christ we're serving

Flies

It's only in NTU where you see things like 4 flies getting trapped in a bowl of miso soup in a time span of less than 5 minutes.

I like my university ;P

C# .NET Barrel Shifters

In case anyone needs the code for it ;P

private byte LeftBarrelShift(byte b, uint amount)
{
amount %= 8;
byte temp;
for (uint i = 0; i < amount; i++)
{
temp = (byte)(b >> 7);
b <<= 1;
b += temp;
}
return b;
}

private byte RightBarrelShift(byte b, uint amount)
{
amount %= 8;
byte temp;
for (uint i = 0; i < amount; i++)
{
temp = (byte)(b % 2);
b >>= 1;
temp <<= 7;
b += temp;
}
return b;
}

This ad caught my eye a few days back....



...reason being it summarizes how we used to be like before the truth came to us.



(Well, at least they're honest about it ;P)
