great monday

the day started with me wanting to just finish my collection by 11am comfortably and with my dearie at my side the whole ride. I was craving for western at lunch and wanted to go taka and imm to buy some stuffs. then end the day with a nice cup of coffee and do some work. but ...

I started my collection late. my dearie was in bed till 11am. we wanted to eat whatever in orchard but ended up in muthu's curry on racecourse having a delicious fishhead. then we headed to simlim and OG in albert's for the stuffs. came back and slept for 2 hours before me having a teh-o and havent started on work, because I'm now writing this blog post.

great day.

"Hi, I'm from Gliese 581g."

a very close planet orbiting in the goldilocks zone of its sun. meaning it may be habitable to life as we know it here on earth.

of coz the report goes on to say that at this point all are just speculations. doesn't mean that it looks like it can means it has.

it be cool to find out in the foreseeable future if there are similar lifeforms on it as earth. of coz they may not come as higher intelligence beings with model-like limbs and HUGE heads. maybe we would be their higher intelligence.

stories of science fiction writers past have told of aliens moving from planet to planet consuming the resources. perhaps we would be that race to do so.

it's sure both strange and exciting to read about such stuffs while being a creationist believer. conflicting and mind boggling.

edit sunday 8.26pm: non-existent as it turns out. ah well.

to game or not to game

at my own life's fork road of "to game or not to game".

ever since the new PC bought this year, video gaming featured a lot more in my life. and as a result of course, the other aspects in life showed decline, especially spiritual and physical.

lately though, wifey's PC crocked and now running on "life-support". now the questions are:

a) buy a new PC for her at about $900+?

b) give her my PC, use the laptops lying around and game less?

I guess people have to move on. and for me gaming cannot be part of my life positively. the macbook can play games on a limited basis anyway.

actually basically

the penchance of sgreans, other than cutting queues and choping hawker seats with tissue papers.

if one can't tell already from accents peppered with lahs, lors, melayu and hokkien, the overusage of actually and basically will actually and basically tell you which ones are sgreans.

"it's basically rice with chicken meat but actually very nice!"

I have a feeling they were upgraded from "just" and "really" and I wonder WHEN we will start to hear "fundamentally" and "in reality". matter of time.

browsing battle

web browsing that is. I am a chrome fan. not just because I want to support freeware (but I do) or is disgusted at microsoft for even charging OSes and web browsers or what not (which I also am), but it's really a no frills cyberspace speedster.

I am sure you can do all the cool extensions with firefox but for me, I just want to read the sites as quickly as possible and not having to suffer alignment problems just coz some browsers interpret html differently.

today's digital life has an article on which browser is the best. and even name IE, firefox and chrome as the big three. 4 rounds of contest on performance, speed, win7 compatibility and security, with chrome winning 2 of them. does this mean chrome is the best?

I personally feel that it comes down to the user. I like my phones, gadgets and car pretty much the way they are. minimal add-ons and only practical ones. functionality and efficiency are important.

pimp my iphone pink or hack my browser green? do those things make them perform better? no? down the toilet of hellfire they go.

but hey, to each their own. hot pink hatchback car? go ahead! yucks.

worst day of 2010

easily, for this year.

1) major errors resulting in potential loss of thousands of dollars.

2) having to reject lending someone unfamiliar $

3) work work work

happy children's day though.
