What a Day!

Monday barely started, yet I can feel the heaviness looming around me. My workplace environment doesn't help much in elevating my heaviness. In fact, the suffocating feeling I have probably generated at work -_-"

I just found out that half the teachers who had registered for the teachers retreat this weekend had pulled out. Out of 12, only 6 sort of confirmed to attend. This is a big hurdle for me. Nothing can be done, but I do feel disappointed how these teachers took things for granted that it is ok to pull out last minute. Perhaps having the organization to fully sponsor the retreat cost is a bad move because employees will not be committed to attending.

I hope the day will turn out better than now. There is still hope.

God, help me!!!!

Living with Christ Daily - Prayer by Blessed Pope John XXIII

What have I done for Christ?

Little, little or nothing.

What am I doing for Christ?

Something, but badly,

like a sluggard.

What should I do for Christ?

Everything, O Lord,

if you do but help me

with your holy grace.

God is all: I am nothing.

Let this do for today. Amen.

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 :)

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.
