My New Baby

Yeah, that's what I have been fiddling all week long. I finally received my HP Mini on 24 September 2010 (Friday), after a long wait of almost a month, plus a few trips down to TM Point to track it. Thank God for the Pakej Jalur Lebar dengan Netbook Percuma (Broadband package with free netbook) from Streamyx, I finally gotten a new netbook to cover the duties of my faithful Dell Inspiron 4150. I still love my Inspiron, it's just that it is a big deal to get it started and running smoothly these days. Maybe tomorrow I'll have to run a movie on it to ensure it's still operating well. I have my memories stored in it... Inspiron had gone through a great deal with since I started off uni...

The netbook that I'm currently using is powered by an Intel Atom N475 on Windows 7 starter with 1GB of RAM and a HDD of 250GB. I sort of screwed up when I installed a couple of software causing it to get into the fits of not wanting to shut down. After a good consult from a colleague, I did system recovery and returned to its origin, before I installed any program. So far so good, thank God.

Haha. My colleague has a HP Mini 210 before I got mine, and when I finally got hold of mine, I thought that I too were having the same. Well, it's just illusion! I am a proud owner of a HP Mini 110-3004TU. However, due to the illusion during the previous weekend, it gotten me to buy a "laptop skin" to stick onto the cover, just to customize it. Not too bad, but I'd prefer it plain...

One fun thing I did this weekend is to install PPS.tv on the netbook, and now I can watch some drama series which I really like when I'm free. If you don't see me around too often, high chance I'm at home watching PPS.tv. LOL.

I'd give this netbook a 4/5 stars for now - mainly contributed by the matte screen which was the main criterion I had to get a notebook/netbook. I'm really glad this netbook comes with matte screen :)

"Most" The Movie (The Bridge) Music Trailer Video*

A very inspiring short foreign film from Czech Republic. Enjoy!

Don't get personal..

With regards to my previous blog entry, I make no apologies of expressing my response towards the entry which I chose in the first place not to name the individual, neither will I publish the person's comment about my previous entry.

The entry was meant for everyone regarding the issue of unity in the nation. And I want point out that point No. 7 of my entry is to all those who have nothing better to do but to bicker and cause unnescessary dissension in an already chaotic nation. The use of twitter, facebook and blogs became their channel to spread harmful comments that poison the mind of people... A disclaimer here is I was referring to a general point, and not specific individuals. And if certain individuals felt I am personally attacking them, my apologies.

I'm more concerned that people laugh and tease those who have less than them, or might not have the abundant blessings as they have, no matter how harmless it seems like. Yet, I'm not referring to any specific person. I was once a person who didn't know how to be happy/excited for another person's blessings in their lives but to always think I deserve more than them. Hey, I'm not perfect! But the lesson I learned from the past few years is it's happier to say something positive about someone, or to think positively about one. If I continue choosing to see the negative sides of individuals, I will not see that they have a good heart in them. And counting blessings with others made me see how good God is.

So I'm ending this entry by saying that I was not attacking specific individuals on blog but to remind ALL others that the harmless comments on sensitive issues of a multiracial country like Malaysia can cause more problems in unity.

A Respond to Happy Birthday, Malaysia

As a non-bumi in the land of Malaysia, I find that the most important and cherished culture of Malaysians is the ability to live among all other cultures, not only surviving, but living well together.

This is an excerpt of what I find offensive about:

Therefore, I dedicate this post as a tribute to the things I disfavor in my fellow countrymen:

1. They believe that there are more odds of getting lucky through a lottery ticket than through getting off one’s ass

2. They think good things can come easy, cheap, and quick

3. They say, “sure”, “yeah” and “of course” without meaning it

4. They talk more than they could ever walk

5. If something bad happens to them, it’s always the other person’s fault

6. They think the government owes them a big bungalow and a Ferrari

7. If someone else is successful, it’s because they’re lucky / robbed a bank / fucked their boss

8. They wonder why they haven’t become rich—while spending all day on their butt cracks

9. If they don’t do well in school, it’s the teacher’s fault

10. If they’re fat, it’s genetics

11. If they’re poor, it’s because of something their grandma did in her past life

12. If they marry an asshole, it’s jodoh

13. If they stumble once, it’s not meant to be—tak ada rezeki

14. If they’re asked to walk 3 miles, they’d be pleased to have walked 2

15. If they get something they worked hard for, they won’t let you forget

THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM HERE: SOME HUMAN BEINGS DECIDED THAT WRITING ON A BLOG DON'T REQUIRE ANY RESPONSIBILITY!

I feel very distasteful towards people who write on their so-called personal "public" blog without using their brain (I wonder they have any leftover after tonnes of waxes poured onto their skin).

Solutions which I am proposing in order to take precautionary measures over this type of SERIOUS problem are:

1. Be content with what we have, and work for the glory of God.
2. Stop looking at what others have done unto you, and start looking at the way you behave towards others more than ever.
3. Take responsibility of what you release on social media.
4. We live in a multiracial country, we have to learn to give and take with other races. This country should NOT have different treatments for different races, but since it has been like this, the Malaysians (especially younger generation) should be aware that above all things is peace and harmony in the nation.
5. No name-callings, and start living as civilized human beings.
6. Go through the moral values you learn in school. If you think you can't live that up, no worries, nobody is perfect. But strive to live out the moral values, because it is impossible to live with a person who pretend to live out the moral values but talk bad about other races/religions etc.
7. Stop bitching on twitter, facebook and blogs PLEASE.

Thoughts to ponder.

GOD BLESS.

Two Weeks of Holidays..

It's the first Tuesday of the mid term + Raya break, and it feels like I've been having holiday forever. I'm currently blogging from my bro's old Dopod 818 Pro which I brought back with me to KK. A totally fabulous hand-me-down item I'd say, something comparative to a mini netbook, minus the keypad. It comes with wifi, and bluetooth, and infra red devices. Definitely something rare back in the year this phone was produced. Without a simcard, i can still access to internet on the newly installed opera mini. Kinda like it, but there are some errors in this system which requires some aid. High chance the phone has to undergo major brain surgery to get its Windows Mobile reformatted. Now that's tricky..

I'm supposed to be volunteering for the Archdiocesan Youth Festival (PBK) but I realize that things aren't right in my own life. I'm not going to bore you with details of what has gone wrong though. Let's see put it in simple format: God, work, relationships with others. The only thing that's alright and stable is family. Just got back from a weekend in Kluang for my dad's 1st death anniversary (25-29 August), things are ok at home, mom has the company of my relatives, especially my aunty, whose late husband was my mom's brother. So she's doing alright there. My bro's alright too, has a daytime job and some side business in collecting collector's shirts...
So what's with my relationship with God? I need Him more these days, but I sorta become mute after a meetup with a dear friend on National Day. I am put to test when he said I don't know what is real Christianity, and the truth of Salvation. So now I'm on the quest of truth and love as per Jesus' teachings. The 'self' is weak, often tempting me to care for 'self' instead of others. But my deliberate isolation from the previous group of people I used to hang out with is for the sake that I may see clearer of things in life without being judgemental and overly harsh on myself. My previous group of friends are certified good people, but I was crushed by their opinionated suggestions on how I should lead my life and what decisions I should make. So I take leave of the circle but still loving them all the same.
In this new phase of work, I've been tested all the time! From a simple complaint of a teenager leading to the mom's wrath upon me and the head of the school doing nothing but allowing his own staff be humiliated in front of him, to the shock of finding out how much certain individuals are trying to make me leave my workplace. It's no longer a place of joy. Yet ministering to the teens is such joy! Complicated and mixed I have here about my job, really. I do wonder why adults are so complicated! If only we all have the simple faith of a child of 3 years old, completely trusting our Father for protection. Instead, we tend to rely on our ownselves (self-reliance) and enjoy gossiping away our days. Backstabbing too. We do all these out of fear of losing our earthly treasures - position, money, etc. But what do we gain? A sure place of condemnation in hell if we don't repent.
God is love and all about placing us in His plan of salvation. Yet that doesn't mean He will not punish us for our wrongdoings. He sent Jesus to die for our sins, and by His resurrection we are saved. Yet again, our sins committed daily drag us away from Him who saves the world! So daily repentance is required. Our hearts are hardened by sins so sometimes it's hard for us to comprehend His love and the need for repentance plus discipline from God as we are His children. It's all for love...

So this is where I am at.

Pax vobiscum.

P/S: JOANNE, I miss your presence here. I'm glad you update your blog always. Have a great time in Melaka. God bless!
