Maybe it's almost time for chewing gum to be legalized again in Singapore...heh ;)

Microsoft Installs New Software Without Permission

Get ready for another big hoo-ha...

On one hand, it is worrying to find out that M$ does this kind of things. But on the other hand, I'm looking forward to someone (or myself?) finding out how it is/can be done.

Looking at one of the responses from my youths today reminded me of how much they do crave for the word.. How important it is to be accurate to the original meaning when it's taught.. And how much I need to keep working at improving, especially at what's truly important in teaching God's word.

《一人一半》

The theme song from the movie "881".

演唱:伍加輝
改編詞:小寒 曲:伍加輝

一人一半 感情不散
一人一素故 感情才會久
時光累計 安靜的淚滴
一心去追 愛那么可貴

Chorus:
這樣的人 這樣地等
無非是等個回應眼神
為愛翻滾 不計傷痕
甘心為你一生都浮沉

這樣的人 別笑我蠢
傻傻的 心痛也不覺疼
就算天冷 就算殘忍
等你想起這沒用的人

一人一半 感情不散
已經找到愛 為何要離開

時光累計 安靜的淚滴
一心去追 愛那么可貴

Repeat Chorus*

一人一半 感情不散
已經找到愛 為何要離開
已經找到愛 為何先離開

Crowdsourcing

Some sites you may want to help out at, or be interested in...

Help Find Steve Fossett

About Amazon.com's Mechanical Turk
When we think of interfaces between human beings and computers, we usually assume that the human being is the one requesting that a task be completed, and the computer is completing the task and providing the results. What if this process were reversed and a computer program could ask a human being to perform a task and return the results? What if it could coordinate many human beings to perform a task?
Crowdsourcing - Wikipedia
Crowdsourcing is a neologism for the act of taking a job traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people, in the form of an open call. For example, the public may be invited to develop a new technology, carry out a design task, refine an algorithm or help analyze large amounts of data.

PS: Sorry lah, no time to do a proper writeup of the sites ;P

Watched 881 with Miss Mouse after running some errands today, good (though sad) story, really really good songs (though some of the lyrics were crap, the music were all good).

It was a good time spent together, and a break from the harsh realities of life eh ;)

Pity though, we couldn't join the youths for the Rat Movie cos' of the timing..
Although the emotions I'm feeling now is a myriad of disgust, disappointment, anger, and even shame at being associated with her...

What she has done is only part of the story. And it would be wrong to focus on only that part of it, and dwell in it like this.

What's the other parts of the story like? The fact that I'm not supposed to live like the world does anymore, because of my ownership. I don't want to do everything exactly as she says, but neither should I want to do whatever I want myself. Rather, I should be looking to see what God/Christ wants instead...

We all will need to be accountable for what we've done when the Judge comes back again. And it would be sad, to have been found blatantly and stubbornly living like the rest of the world when there has been a total life change before.

As a result, I need to change! Though I'm feeling like this now, what should I be doing? Certainly not acting in accordance with what I feel like doing now.

But as for what she does in the future, she will have to be accountable too. And it's only for her good that she sees that actions done in obedience to Christ do look different from what others usually do. And hopefully as a result, she would turn...lest she burns......

Heads Up: Back after more than a year!

Back after more than a year!

Our dear Yifen has finally blogged again. Blog post in the link above. ;)
I've never imagined that a guy can go through so much relational pain. One reason is because we probably think that the ladies are relationally stronger, and as a result feel in this area more too.

Though things aren't pit bottom now, I definitely am not looking forward to things deteriorating further from where they are.

There's a lot of things that I need to remember and keep in focus at the moment, things which are far more important. But frankly speaking, the deluge of pain is now proving to be a very good wall against these.
