holidays ending

holidays are ending again...
only got less than a week left :)
this holiday has been good... really good...
i didn't travel much, but that's ok... didn't really do much either... but that's ok :)
but it's been a good holidays...
good... because i rediscovered God over these past 3 weeks...
i started off by "fasting" from using the computer and putting entertainment to a minimum... heh, which was why i was kinda absent online... but it was a good choice i believe...
by making entertainment not the focus of the holidays, i let God come back into my life...
it would've been easy i suppose to "make the most" of these holidays by making plans and going places, but i think that it's become a problem cos' when i'm working, i'm rushing here and there for studies and stuff... and during the holidays if i'd been running here and there to "relax".... heh, don't think i'd be as satisfied as i am now...

but i suppose these holidays wasn't a story of what i did, so much so as what God did :)

is ignorance bliss?

i have a dilemma of sorts...
after much trial and error... and referencing from the internet...
i've finally managed to install EVERYTHING into one OS... which i am proud to say... is XP...
and not Vista...
oh..umm... everything meaning... all my hardware drivers...
so that now... currently.. EVERYTHING works on my XP...
including my video card...
working beautifully...
problem is... i haven't tried running anything that even slightly taxes it...
in vista, due to what i originally thought was a driver problem, whenever i play games or do anything that needs the vid card to work harder... the screen goes black every 5 minutes or so... before coming back to life... it lags too at times...

so... i thought that running XP would solve my problems... and so i thought... however, when i tried playing on XP... the thing crashed all together... hmm... and at that time... it appeared to be a driver problem again... cos' the pirated version of XP that i had couldn't seem to get the driver in fully also...

well... which brings me to now... now... everything's fine... from a software point of view...
but i haven't tried playing anything...

partly cos' if i do... and if things go wrong... then it'd mean i have no idea what's wrong... OR... that the problem is with the hardware...
hmm...
is ignorance bliss?

maybe i should just quit gaming...

interesting sites

i decided not to study today...

not that i've been... but yesterday i picked up a book n read a bit, so to make me look good i officially state that i've started studying...
but i digress... i decided not to study today...

so i went surfing...

btw, if you're wondering why u can't see me online... it's bcos (ref previous post) i can't log in to msn or access any microsoft websites from my vista computer... but with my other house computer i can(which lags so bad and no music)... so i was actually looking for a solution for this...
but anyway...

i discovered some interesting websites... umm.. i exclude blogs so that it won't seem as if i like certain ppl...








this is one cool site... you can post questions to about ANYthing... and ANYone can answer :)...

note... *ANY*...

and there ARE some pretty fun questions...like:



question: what's the meaning of life?

answer: hard to describe
but life is like a hamburger with everything on it
there are parts i like
and parts i just wanna get through
but overall the hamburger is good



: According to the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, it is 42.



question: why is it cool to be stupid?
answer: Cause stupid questions earn easy points. ;)



question: What types of parrots are the least noisy of the parrot family?
answer: srry all parrots r noisy



and many others



and then... actually not today but about last month, i discovered

Hoon is really good...
so is elvenkind and gilad... good updates are rare though...

garden

hmm...
today started well enuff... woke up n went jogging...
then did gardening (=... i have a patch of earth about 10 by 1 metres...
fit for weeds and grass... i find it quite relaxing to just periodically pull up random green shoots which i think are weeds... they probably are, in that unhealthy looking, rock strewn patch of dirt i think only weeds can grow....
i tried transplanting 3 patches of grass onto my "garden"... they don't seem to be dying but neither do they seem like proliferating..
anyway, pulling weeds is quite therapeutic... now, if only i could find more grass... a cangkul... and some real plants to put into the earth... then maybe it'd be more fun :P

lol... zhiyong the gardener

scary face

my friends say i have a scary face when i'm upset...
my grandma just passed away this afternoon...
half of me wants the scary face on...
half of me wants to talk to someone...
currently my scary half is on...
well... going back home again tmr... probably will be back by thursday evening or earlier...

i thought this was supposed to be a happy week...
