NO CONNECTION

This is like one of the most interesting day at work ..I was sitting down in front of my com, doing data entry when suddenly the internet connection went down.. no internet access at all .. and there is total no network connection.. that means i cant link to any other computer or watsoever and my data entry work is web-based( meaning connected to the database through intranet connection and web-forms) so quite happy dun need to do work .. super uncle meng foo also realised it .. he also didnt know what to do .. so he asked me to lunch with him.

Back from lunch, i sms chris (who was in malaysia) telling him about the problem.. just as he called back, wesley came into the room too .. fwah this is when the excitement starts... all the computer terms start coming out.. he asked me when happened before hand, and how did it all happen .. we started to check the various servers and also the firewalls .. testing the different computers .. i was trying to remember the different names of each com .. there is like PL-21 PL-11, PL-Local, robocom, netopia. and the different commands for MS-DOS .. fwah super interesting .. lookin at cable seeing how they connect.. troubleshooting the problem... haha.. its like a computer geek kinda thing.. but it's fun sia..

Now the whole thing is fixed that's why i am bloggin it down .. the problem came from a hub .. which is linked to the DHCP server .. which caused the whole things .. so cool .. hope to learn abit of networking quite interesting ..

Bloody technology makes cars more pricey

When unreason gives way to road rage

By Andrew Thomas: Tuesday 24 August 2004, 13:59
CRUISE CONTROLS are an expensive extra on some cars. Not mine, obviously, which comes as standard with Jacuzzi, minibar, photon torpedoes and a sign on the front in mirror writing reading 'GET OUT OF MY WAY – GIVE YOUR CHILD A CHANCE'. But let's face it, cruise control is really just aimed at people too poor to afford a chauffeur.

The advent of the microchip –the 'brain' of a computer* - means things that once would have been impossible in automotive terms are now simple to achieve. Engines can monitor themselves constantly and make fine adjustments to the ignition and fuel injection while recording every fault as it occurs, enabling mechanics to identify problems accurately.

But for each genuine technological advance, cars are afflicted with a dozen examples of useless technology fitted solely to increase the selling price. I'm thinking of things like satellite navigation – who needs that when you can ask your wife to map read? OK, maybe that wasn't the best example. How about GPS? Well, as my old dad always used to say "Son, if you want to know where you are, look out of the window."

Rain-sensing wipers and automatic headlights. Purrrleeese. Anyone unobservant enough not to notice it's raining or that it's midnight shouldn't be driving in the first place. Day riding lights should actually reduce the cost of a Volvo by about £5 as it means they can save on the price of a light switch, but of course it doesn't.

Airbags are widely regarded as a boon to safety, but a large spike in the centre of the steering wheel would do far more to increase safety at a much lower cost by raising driver concentration levels. Knowing you face certain bloody death in the event of a frontal impact would make most drivers take a little more care. And God knows how rear impacts have been caused by people tailgating in order to read the sticker in the back window that says 'side impact protection system'.

Voice control: just say 'no'. Or rather don't say it, because the car will instantly select reverse, tune into Saga FM, switch off the ignition and open the sunroof (but only if the rain-sensing wipers have detected you're sitting in a monsoon). Worse still is speech synthesis. If I want a strident female voice telling me I should have turned left at the last junction, or to slow down and mind that lorry, I'll get married again.

Reverse park sensors produce an annoying beep if they think you're about to back into a wall. A low-tech alternative would be to use the mirror. Real cheapskates could even look over their shoulder.

Heated windscreens are, on the face of it, quite a useful piece of technology unless you happen to live in Dubai. But why spend the extra when using your credit card to scrape the ice off works just as well and doesn't incur any interest charges?

The only sensible option is to go for an old car without any of these fantastic features, or alternatively to buy a new Mercedes in which case they'll be fitted but won't work. µ

LOCKED !!

I came to the office today .. den found out that my room is locked !! Sian .. and the lady with the key is not here yet.. so gotta sit outside and wait for her to come ..

Today was a rather interesting day, as i met this lady from my office on the bus, on my way to work and had a nice chat with her on the way to work .. She is a nice lady, a mother of 3 and she is very loud .. i think if you see the way she talks and how she presents herself you will agree with me.. but it was kinda nice getting to see a different side of her, as in the office she is very grouchy .. and is always complaining abt stuff and all ..

As i was locked outside the office i went around the office askin ppl if they have the key.. so at least get to say hi and everything.. and let my presence be felt .. haha .. i feel that if God placed me and at the end of my attachment and i did not make a difference if i am here or not .. den quite pointless.. so i am going to try treat the ppl here nice.. and make that difference ..

Haha .. The world continues to SPIN

Haha.. see what i mean ... told you most wont understand what i am going through .. but the world still continues to spin and life still gotta go on ..
Woke up this morning feeling kinda lost.. no direction.. have lots of things to do but dunno which one to start on .. As i sit here stoning in my office, people still carry on doin their own work.. and busy rushin for meetings and stuff.. and this intern sitting here in the office .. lookin quite lost.. haha..

Still feeling quite lost after stoning for 20 min .. haha .. i took like half an hour to type such a short paragraph.. oh yes .. i have been thinkin about my identity.. Who is Ben? What is his role? His purpose ? God's purpose for him .. Well for those who are concern, i am not like reaching a low point of my life.. it's just part of the quest to find out more abt myself .. to live a better life and serve God to all possible ways.. Dunno .. haha can someone tell me ?? at the age of 20 .. if i get to live till 80 i am a quarter way there... so what to do in the next 3 quarters ..

while stoning the world still continues to SPIN.. slowly and gradually .. we dun feel it .. but time still goes by .. So many people going through tough times and stuff .. struggling crying .. complaining about their troubles and problems ... is there a solution for such troubles and problems ? or are these meant to be experienced? people these days are so overwhelmed by the troubles and problems .. always wonder what is on their minds.. well just some thoughts ..

The mind of little Man

Exhausted

Feeling super exhausted now... fwah it's been sometime since i really blog my thoughts.. well the reason that i have not been blogging is because have been spendin late nites with the boys going ns (hozea and dom) and also playing with my new toy hehe..

Well kinda feelin lonely .. with most ppl my age either in army or overseas.. quite sian .. I guess very few people will understand this ... especially when everyone in the world thinks i am some kinda big shot with friends everywhere and all .. Maybe i do .. just that i didnt realise?? I guess everyone will be thinkin how this extroverted guy.. always going around saying hi to ppl and making frens .. actually have very few frens .. haha .. well i also dunno la... I bet no one will believe that once my mom wanted to bring me to a psychiatrist to see what's wrong with me, cos i tend to be quite anti social as a kid.

haha.. i dun even know when i became like so outspoken .. I think this is just a phase in life la.. sure will out grow this loneliness thingy ..

ok back to work liao .. feeling super tired



Really envy this kid

Interesting ..

Wanted to tell you that night

"The Way You Look Tonight"

Some day, when I'm awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight.

You're lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
Touches my foolish heart.

Yes you're lovely, never, ever change
Keep that breathless charm.
Won't you please arrange it?
'Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight.
Darling
Just the way you look tonight.

This song kinda summarizes how i felt that night spent with ya.. dinner .. and sending you home .. Wish we could do that again some time...

Contentment

Life is Good.. have learnt to complain less.. and enjoy the fullest of the things happening around me.. Work has started to blend into my life, and having a balance of work and the things i love to do. The past few days i haven been blogging much is because i have been watching this new cartoon series called "Dear Boys" It's about basketball, the graphics is excellent and the moves are super reallistic.. Very inspired to go play basketball everytime i watch it sia..

Guess who is that !!

Hahaha... well.. was just playing around with adobe.. doing a little bit of practice.. not very well done la.. but it's just for fun.. Looks very farnie rite... haha ..

Today's lesson of the Day

"We have been talking a great deal about sanctification - What is it all going to amount to? It should work out into rest in God which means oneness with God, a oneness which will make us not only blameless in His sight, but a deep joy to Him. "
Quote from Oswald Chambers " My Utmost for His Highest

Somehow i am looking forward to this oneness with God.. cause like He has been helping me realise and understand a lot of things around and how He has set everything into place. And slowly many everyday simple truths have been very mind-blowing for me .. Lastly i find that when God is Happy = I am Happy.. i cant see when can i do something for Him to please Him .. and in turn i become sad or miserable..

Oh yes .. and i have sorta recovered from being sick and all .. i thank all for your concern and prayers too .. Feel so much energy .. i think i wanna go look for kel and wrestle him again .. haha ..

True Beauty

Do I love you because you're beautiful
Or are you beautiful because I love you?
--Oscar Hammerstein

Once, a powerful king agreed to help a small, lost boy find his mother. Since the boy described his mother as the most beautiful woman in the world, the king commanded all the beautiful women in the kingdom to come to the castle.

From miles around, they came--women with complexions of porcelain and hair of spun gold, with cheeks the color of apricots and eyes as dark as the raven's. But none of them was the boy's mother. When the last of the women had paraded before them, and the king and the boy had begun to despair, they heard a timid knock on the door. "Come in," the king said wearily. In shuffled an old washer woman, her grey hair tied up in a kerchief, her hands rough and red, her dress coarse and patched.

"Mother!" the boy cried when he saw her, and he leapt from his chair and raced into the woman's arms. The king stared in amazement.

Will I be able to see the real beauty in others today?

Well yes this indeed reminded me that God looks at the heart and not in the outward appearance. And because we are weak, we are allowed to be used by Him for his purpose. So when we look at the people around us do we only look out for the beautiful people? Well i guess at certain points in life we do, and i am guilty of that .. must remember must be graceful because we have received to utmost grace for the Creator.

And also to you who is beautiful because you are ... and because i love you too .. haha =)

NUMB HAND !!

AHH... i think last nite i slept on my hand .. woke up this morning with like a super red and swollen right hand .. quite scary couldnt really move it.. and thank God i am a left hander so still can brush teeth.. now the swell is gone .. it can move quite freely .. but just that there is still this very numb feeling ..

I know that there are some people around me who are quite numb about the things around them .. either stress over exams .. or just going through daily lives .. lacking that wonder or amazement you used to have... Well just like i try to remove the effects of the numbness by rubbing it .. it was kinda painful but effective.. so i would encourage these people to find a way to remove this numbness .. and for wonder and awesomeness in God .. it will be painful .. but it's better than letting the numbness stay .. thought for this morning ..

More Cool Stuff ..

Crappy Morning :(

Woke up like super late today .. I think it was 8.30am .. Got super bad headache, my nose is blocked ( and its still blocked ) and body feeling super weak and drowsy. Wanted to take mc ... but no money to take mc just like that .. and its been years since i last asked my parents for money to go see the doc.. its only when i super high fever lying unconscious on my bed den they will bring me to the docs .. so managed to struggle and pull myself to out of bed and to work..

Obviously i am late like about 45 min late, but now at 10 am .. i still in a stoning mode ... not able to do anything .. But today's Qt was good .. it was talking about how we must have nothing in order for God to use us .. and that the moment we think slightly highly of ourselves, that he cant use us .. cos we think that we have the ability to do it wiithout him ..

Yup.. nose still block .. still having headache ... dunno what i will do too .. hope today will pass faster ... it's wed long weekend coming ..
