News, events, and other interesting finds

Today was a rather long day (Tuesdays and Thursdays are long days) and there was a four hour break because the IT2655 Mobile Applications Development teacher was on MC. I went to the school shopping mall and bought a USB fan for my laptop which cost me $9.60. I didn’t realize the fan had lighting included until I reached home because the fan on display didn’t have any light (probably spoilt). I also went to the LAN shop with Chin Wah and played DotA and Red Alert 2 during my 4 hour break. Chin Wah skipped 2 classes to join me.

Yay! At last today I received my certificate for the Java certification test I took in October.

There wasn’t any tennis this morning as it was raining at 6:30am. So boring…

Today there wasn’t any IT2652 Operating Systems lab; so I stayed at home playing GunBound and got carried away until 12:30pm, when I quickly changed and left the house just as my brother came home. I missed the bus by half a minute -_-” and ended up 13 mins late. The bus timings are getting more and more irregular. I should get out 40 mins before classes start.

During IT2064 XML & Web Services lab session today I got to join a very friendly group in BI0404 which has 6 members already; the tutor realized that I was “new” and had no group, so she introduced me to one. We discussed an case study for the lab session. I realized that all the lab sessions for this module was all theory and no programming at all after looking through the notes & worksheets. This made me feel disappointed as I was looking to a hands-on module.

Anyways, during the practical a lady from CMPB called and asked me to get a letter of certification from my poly and fax it over to her immediately (around 2pm), but I told her I was having lessons and will do it ASAP. I decided to skip tutorial as I figured that I had not much time to rush to the post office to fax it (before CMPB closed for the day). Read on for the reason: My father is going to the U.S. for further studies in June 2006 and my whole family is going. By right I am not allowed to go as I have to enlist for NS (National Service) after graduating from poly, but my parents have talked to an MP (Minister for Parliment) for deferment and an appeal is under way. The MP referred the case to CMPB and now they are processing it. They needed to certify that I’m still studying before they can continue with their stuff.

Just to mention happenings during this last week: I managed to get my web host (byethost.com) to remove the forced adverts on my site (http://samuel.byethost24.com), but I first had to place that banner in some other place in my site. I designed it to me at the bottom of every page, but coded javascript to remove it within 10 seconds after the page is loaded.

Hope I haven’t been too boring… It’s just my style to be detailed. Could have typed more but I’m going to bed now. Have to wake up early tomorrow for tennis.

“For it is God who causes all things to work together for GOOD,
to those who LOVE Him and to those who are CALLED according to
His PURPOSE”.   Romans 8:28.

With God, nothing happens by chance;
With Him there is no such things as “accidents” or “coincidence”.

All our disappointments are His appointments;
Problems are His opportunities for us
To prove our faith that He is able to do exceeedingly abundantly
Above all that we ask or imagine possible.
God allows problems in our lives
So that we may experience His great power at work
Through us and in our lives – for His glory.

Love is
being happy for the other person when they are happy
being sad for the person when they are sad
being together in good times and being together in bad times
Love is the source of strength

Love is
being honest with yourself at all times
being honest with the other person at all times
telling, listening, respecting the truth and never pretending
Love is the source of reality

Love is
an understanding so complete that you feel as if you are a part of the other person
accepting the other person just the way they are
and not trying to change them to be something else
Love is the source of unity

Love is
the freedom to pursue your own desires while
sharing your experiences with the other person
the growth of one individual alongside
and together with the growth of another individual
Love is the source of success

Love is
the excitement of planning things together
the excitement of doing things together
Love is the source of the future

Love is
the fury of the storm
the calm in the rainbow
Love is the source of passion

Love is
giving and taking in a daily situation
being patient with each other’s needs and desires
Love is the source of sharing

Love is
knowing that the other person will always
be with you regardless of what happens
missing the other person when they are away
but remaining near in heart at all times
Love is the source of security

Love is the source of life
