I really need a fresh change to this website. Usher in a new beginning and embrace a change in life?

End of one term of API, this round I have already handed in all I have to hand in, all the Book Reviews, the Paper, etc. It has been a fulfilling 10 weeks of needless discipline and training. Well at least I think I have grown, a little in the Lord this semester.

Just wanna thank those in my class who have been really supportive and always so encouraging to me. I apologize for being rather bad in preparing for the group presentations, think too much already so end up always late. Lets have a good dinner tomorrow and enjoy each the company of one another.

New term starting so it’s time to let go of the relaxing spirit and piah again, this round I’m taking Evangelism and I’m praying that I’ll be able to do my best.

Ever so often we forget about the real world around us as we immerse ourselves in a digital world. Even with modernization, it has lead to some animal species to become endangered due to environmental changes, human activities and development. Even with efforts to save these animals, this is continually becoming a challenging task as we humans continue to urbanize the environment.

One such endangered species is the Orang Utan. Ah Meng a female Orang Utan has been the Icon of the Singapore Zoo till 2008 and is remembered by many for her friendliness. However her species the Sumatran Orangutan is facing extinction due to illegal logging and poaching and only 7500 species remain in existence.

Tord Boontje a renowned industrial engineer, well known for his whimsical weaves of floral and endangered animals has tied up with HP to even immortalize these fast vanishing creatures on the new HP mini-note. What’s more in view of the environment the mini-note spots a mercury-free LED backlit display and comes in a 100% recyclable packaging.

Those who wish can check out this wonderful art-piece and is available for sale at you local HP retailers.

I’m really bogged down with quite a fair bit of work and find little time to actually update my blog, so it’s all about discipline. I’m finding ways and means to see how I can get some of the stuff I post on facebook and twitter to aggregate to the site. Thinks it will be useful, heard about ping.fm and some sites that may help with this.

Feeling rather tired, perhaps I should open up more if not there will not be much interesting stuff on this blog or perhaps. Anyway I’ll just continue ranting away so just enjoy.

Oh and also did I mention that I’m still on Nokia Zone, so check it out…

Bruce Willis plays a cop who is throw into an investigation when real people get murdered! A Sci-Fi thriller depicting the future where people stay in the comfort of their own homes and get surrogates to replace them in real life, shielding humans from danger, viruses and other risks. All that has to be done is to stay home, plug in and experience life!

So if I were to have a surrogate, I guess I want to know how it would be like to be famous, someone who people look up to and experience the lime light for a while. Perhaps a race car driver would be great, as I can also experience the trill of driving fast without the need of actually risking my actual life.

1. Beautifully rendered battle sequences (real time rendering glory)
2. Monsters! Can’t get enough to slicing and dicing em up in close combat (think Ninja Gaiden II)
3. Action button interactivity during video sequences (trains my ninja reflexes)
4. I can now throw shurikens and draw my ninja weapons 1,000 times faster with my Xbox 360 controller then in real life (at least without hurting myself)
5. Ninja vision! (hums to song - I can see clearly now) With this new Ninja skill, now the weak spots of bosses are easily spotted (no more unecassary deaths guessing). One step closer to becoming a Ninja

How pain can that be?

Seriously, quite hard, considering that I been on the Apple MacOSX platform for the last 2 1/2 years. I have kind of become accustomed to the interface, shortcuts and various other little touches which make the Mac quite comfortable to use.

Windows users would find a little trouble getting used to the setup, especially where the windows key stands, now is a "apple" option key. Alt + F4 no longer closes a window but "apple" + Q does.

Oh did I mention, my MacBook Pro of 2 years 4 months is no longer with me, I’ve sold it off to get the new MacBook Pro, Although I disagree with the Glossy only option available.

Pray everything goes well, if so I should see my new MacBook Pro in about a weeks time.

Got to make some new friends at Nokia Zone, it was a pretty interesting time for me as we go to interact with some of the Nokia staff over lunch while at the same time feed my need for new gadgets.

Just recently I’ve been toying with some of the social media sites available, and it’s turning out to be pretty interesting. Seeing how people interact and communicate with each other, social media opens up an whole new experience for online users, blogs were nice, but I guess social media gives "real time" experience sharing increasing interactions between users.

Anyway will touch on that another time. Till Nokia zone is active again, I hope to be more disciplined to share my experiences here.

Signing off

SerSiTiv

Hmm… I’m excited, a friend told me about a job opening. I wonder if I should send in my resume on this position. It’s an exciting job with a very very exciting company. I’m kind of wondering if this would be a good decision to make. Jumping from my current position to take on a project management role. Hmm… What to do? Someone please let me know.

Yeah this should be quite old news but I’m still with Nokia zone doing up some blogging on mobile devices.

Well lets just say the incentives include testing and playing with the latest handsets from Nokia.

So far I’ve tried the E90, N82, N95 8GB, N78, 6210 Navigator and am currently holding on to the Nokia N96.

So check out my stint at Nokia Zone.

I wonder if I should keep sersitiv.com as a tech site? Perhaps a spin off would be a better idea. Time to go to the drawing board, perhaps a revamp is in the works.

Doing a post using Windows Live Writer, it’s a separate program from the typical writers you get in your web browser, with a more Windows Live interface. I think this is quite a cool application for blogging as it makes things easier. Imagine Microsoft Word meets blogging. Those interested can try it out, just download live messenger and include Microsoft Writer as an add in. BTW this was done totally in Live Writer.

Nice?

I know it’s time for me to lose some weight, took a look at some pictures which were taken of me some time back and I realised that I indeed had sharper features as compared to this round face. I think it’s about time that I did something.

Strict diets are quite hard considering where I am, working environments are the worst as it “forces” you to engage in nice meals together with colleagues, but I do have to say that I lack discipline when it comes to such issues. I guess it’s all about finding ways and means to do it, exercise is only effective with proper diets. It’s time to go western, wake up early to prepare that sumptious meal, full of good nutrients and keeping me from snacking.

You know everyone says that you just need about 6 hours of sleep to feel energized and recharged to face the day. But I do not feel so, and I think sleep as important as it is must be done right. I just feel so tired every single day now, of course this stems from the stress accumulated from work and other thoughts racing around my mind.

Some times I wonder how will I be able to sleep better? Sleeping pills? Better bed? Food eaten before sleep? I guess a little prayer and meditation would be good food for the soul and would be a good answer for me to put my worries of the day to rest. Well as they say, tomorrow will be a better day. Till then, sleep well and enjoy your day. YAWNS~~~~

Was checking my Google analytics and guess what? I did not have visitors on the 9th if June, which incidentally  is my birthday.  Hahaha, but it was great this year many people remembered and especially when those that remember are the ones who love you

Back to the report… Do let me know how you would like your Birthday, perhaps I could compile a list of things so that it would be less of a headache when your friends want to find out what to do during that special day.

My company design team has an extra ticket so I’m going to go and watch the movie this coming Wednesday. Enough said
