Brain Matters

I almost had my life cut off by half just now when the internet and cable tv were suspended in the morning. I did not pay my internet bills last month because my mum borrowed the money meant to pay for it. Even though the problem was rectified by that early morning itself, it was almost not possible to do so if not for a little 'help'. I used first the money that I got from the government which I tell ya was a life saver no matter what people say about the GST credit being too little yadah yadah. Hey, if you receive money from the government, never say that it's too little or whatever. You dont expect them to support you fully. Well at least for me, Im the type who think that it's better than nothing.

Well from the start of this week, I have been playing Sims 2 on my laptop eversince it seems to be working quite well. At this point of time, it's pretty boring to play it coz Im playing it at the most basic level. My brother has been pressurizing me to change the graphic cards from the start of the year and I have been delaying it for the longest time. It will seem such a big pity for me to spend on it since it is not that cheap although computer geeks will think that pft...with recent price drops in computer spare parts, 100 plus dollars is not that much. Infact, it's minimal and it can even get you to watch tv on your laptop or pc with that amount if you get the tv tuner.

Some hobbies are just expensive and if I am a full fledged computer geek, wah there will be a big hole in my pocket soon enough.

I was watching terminator: the Sarah Conner chronicles just now and one of the recurring characters was someone who built a robot that could challenge a human in a game of chess. Even though his house was burnt down later by Sarah Conner in a bid to prevent him from building the infrastructure for mass destruction in the future called skynet, he actually managed to rebuilt back the robot in another location. Why? Apparently he actually memorized the codes which enabled himw to build it from scratch in a short period of time. And uhm, I kinda how how that is like because when I do my blog template, I had to use a series of codes that may take me two hours or more. Once, I accidentally deleted the template which meant that all the codes were gone in the blink of an eye and I managed to rebuild it in less than an hour by regurgitating all the codes back. Of course this time I did not forget to save it on desktop first in case such thing happen again.

But do you know that the human mind is able to work beyond wonders and we are able to train it so much so that we can actually become more intelligent than we are right now? Because we actually only use 2% of our brainpower. 2 freaking percent only. It's like weight loss. You will think that it is impossible to lose the weight if you have been overweight or even obese for the longest time such as since your childhood. But it's not true actually.

One of the recent contendors of the recently revived American Gladiators used to be very obese all his life which saw him being bullied endlessly. You should see his old picture.








































Over the course of 5 years he lost over a hundred pounds. Even though he lost quite badly because his opponent is actually bigger in size than him (heh..quite a hunk too), it was still an achievement for him because despite his former size, he was actually a fan of American Gladiators in its earlier seasons. It was also a motivating factor for him to try to lose his bulk hoping that one day, he would be able to compete on the show if they were to bring it back which they eventually did.

So I would say never underestimate yourself. It's just mind over matter. I told you it's a powerful thing.


Okay now, I am gonna play Sims 2 at freaking 2 am in the morning. And in between catch up a bit on a UK teen soap drama. So little time, so much things to do....

Birthday Gathering & House Hunting

Last week, I celebrated a friend of mine's belated birthday together with another friend at her condo. Sadly, this would be the last time we would hold the celebration at her place because she has finally managed to sell off her condo unit after one year of looking for a buyer. Mostly we used the swimming pool facilities although the two of us didn't swim at all but just chill under the shade. We brought home cooked food and I really appreciated my friend for doing this for us, thinking about how the young son of a friend of us would love the swimming pool for kids. She is so selfless and kind to her friends and I'm truly blessed to have her in my life.  While one was selling off the house, the other friend was on the verge of getting a dream house for herself and her young son. In life, we have many priorities and things to look forward to. Each of our dreams and aspirations are different from one another, like for me, getting a house is not a priority at the moment.  ...

A Reminder to the Living

Recently, we lost our former President when he passed away at the age of 92. He was known to have his heart for the people although those who worked closely with him couldn't actually picture him as that for he was a taskmaster when it came to work. He did his own narratives and do the best that he could as he knew where he came from and wanted to make good out of his life.  He showed that the circumstances that we are in can't stop us from going far in life. We should continue to focus on our actions, has strong dedication and when things get difficult, look at the bigger picture and understand why we are here. Ultimately, we should all be working towards the purpose we have in mind which makes things easier to cope. Thank you for helping the Singaporeans especially those who needed help most. You would always be the people's President. On the other spectrum, a young child had also lost his life. A few of my colleagues witnessed the events which unfolded in front of...
