While I was transferring a file from my pc to anor's handy drive, it suddenly pinged me that we have actually move so far ahead in terms of removable file storage. And i mean file as in the soft copy version, and not the printed one..
I still remember when I was in my upper secondary, the floppy disc is stil those of 5". Only few of the computers in my computer lab have the 3.5" drive.
Then its the era of those 3.5" disc, which is still in until now. Well, at least this is the only removable storage for my too old to work PC at home.
Oh, in the midst of not being able to store heavy files, there is the time when those with ZIP drive rules the files. There was once a consultant in my previous company, he really brags about how incapable the 3.5" disc is. How annoying. Well, hello... having an uncommon external drive with an uncommonly large disc is not really something to brag about!
Then its CD time! But the main problem about CD is, those with CD-writing capabilities is sooo rare as the rarest steak in town. And one blank CD is really costly. Nowadays, most PC have a combo drive where you can play and write CDROM, DVD, VCD, and other blabla-D all in one drive. And... you can get a blank CD for about RM0.50 each.
But a new device that's is really IN now (well, at least here in my environment) is the thumb drive!! Everybody has one, excluding me. I'm too poor to afford one. heh. But by far, this is for me the most practical solution for removable storage. Its small, almost every PC/MAC has the USB porty thingy at the back/side/front/top/botto m/whateva, it's so personalised that you can even use it as a necklace!
Ahhh... but that's here in Malaysia which is light years away from the development in other country. I wonder what's next? Will our life be compacted in just one card? could be... who knows! :roll:
OK, my lil' sister has received the offer for the degree in Occupational Therapy in a local uni here (the same that i've been). Congratulations to you!
Just a question, what is exactly working as an occupational therapist??? I believe this is a new degree offered in that particular uni. So, as usual, I did some googling, to find out the chance of working in this field. Well, for some reason I really hate to see my sister will have to menganggur in future.. like what i've experienced... :cry:
So, those with the job are described to help people with mental or physical disabilities to enjoy an ordinary life. Ugh, will it involves working with orang gila? Ish, that's too scary for me. But someone else will love it. I realise that this job may need the practitioner to take the role as a counsellor. So, to be one, you need to be understanding, and able to gain clients' confidence. Er, this i'm quite confident she can do... :P
And they have an organisation known as World Federation of Occupational Therapist (WFOT). hmmm.. kewl! Anyway, best of luck girl! :wink:
These are not mind but I think I would like to share it with you, fellow readers. This para makes me think in the morning. There's at least a semblance of truth, but for me it is very true indeed... :roll::roll::roll:
Every violation of truth is not only a sort of suicide in the liar, but is a stab at the health of human society. On the most profitable lie the course of events presently lays a destructive tax, whilst frankness proves to be the best tactics, for it invites frankness, put the parties on a convenient footing and makes their business a friendship. Trust man and they will show be true to you. Threat them greatly and they will show themselves great, though they make an exception in your favor to all their rules of trade.

The day before yesterday, anor and I went to American Chili's Restaurant and lunch there. As usual, she ordered burger and lemonade. Me.. i'm forced to enjoy my meal with hot tea! Thanks to my blood-coughing ability, anor refrain me from drinking any icy cold beverages, how inappropriate.:evil:
Anyway, as she ordered her meal, the waiter asked.."How'd you like your burger served maam?" OK, again, as usual, she answered medium. But is it the only way to answer the question. So, we both figured out different and stupid answers to the question... here goes...
Q: How'd you like your burger served maam?
A1: in between half-cut bun. A2: on a plate A3: without any vegetable please A4: brought to my table from the kitchen A6: ...by you A5: how else? as burger la
OK, so there may be more but my work is kinda not cooperating right now.. I'll leave it for you guys to add in the answer.. :D
What is freedom actually? What is in it that many people fight over it? And to what extent do you want your freedom?
I used to define freedom as the ability to do things without limitations. But as time goes by, and as i met lots of people. I don't think i should live with that definition of freedom. Now I really, really realise that as a human being, I need certain limitations. But still, there are certain things that I hope there's no limitation. Its sooo confusing that i want so many thing, and yet, I don't really want all of it. heh!
So, as I slowly comes into my low-level senses, there are actually various type of freedom that can have its own predetermined limitation. There's freedom to be in love, freedom to think & speak, freedom to enjoy faith & religion, financial freedom, knowledge freedom, and.... ugh, that's all I can think of right now... :lol:
You determine your own freedom, you set what you want. Same goes here. So to speak, I am still not able to enjoy the full freedom that I want. But I'm soo lucky that I know what I want, and I have plans on how to achieve the freedom that I set. wargh! its getting complicated!!
Anyway, bottom line is, we may not seek the same level of freedom in our life. So, don't despise what others want. Accept them for who they are. Only then we'll be able to accept ourselves for who we are. Ah well, I guess its back to the accepting issue again... (which me myself must learn to do... heh :D ) :roll:
ugh, i've had one of the worst fever in my whole life this past few days. Amazingly the high temperature really really affected my judgement and my mental state. I spent my day and night on bed most of the time. At that time i know i must eat, but i can't. Heck! I can't even sure i am able to differentiate two numbers.
And my house definitely, is in mess. Its great that anor came back just in time to save the house form the greatest mess of the millenium. LOL!
But today, i think i'm getting better and i am able to think straight (hmm... like i'm thinking straight everytime..) Anyway, i just want to convey the message that, being in the state of an abnormally high temperature.. (try 38.5oC!!) a lot of sleep is needed, just to keep you sane!
So, ladies and gentlemen.. in this hot and dry weather, please please drink lots of water and do not skip your meal. *This is a not a community service message*
It's Mother's Day yesterday. But I only have time to write about it today. And mom, Happy Mother's Day. I love you lots!!!
Everybody will say that their mom is the best. pfft! duh! of course! Same goes here, I'll definitely saya my mom is the best.. at least for me. The main reason is because she cooks very well.. heh :lol: And... she is also a very understanding mom. Tho' she's not hip and happening, like, she can't play guitar, and considers herself IT illiterate, that's still cool for me. The main thing is, she knows what her children's love and open to accept our opinions, tho ridiculous.
heh, i dunno what else to write, except.. love your mom! She is the one who gives live to us. OK.. so this may exclude mothers that throw away their kids. Hmmm... i wonder how they can easily discard a baby they've conceived for more than 9 months... :shrug: :roll:
I watched Human Discovery with anor last night. This week is about Facial Expression. And it made me realise that i've been taking my facial expression for granted till yesterday. So, the realisation centre triggered when I saw a li'l girl suffering from Mobius Syndrome. Its actually a genetic disorder characterised by facial paralysis. OK, is seems minor.. but imagine the girl cannot show her happiness, or sadness. She can't even smile, nor frown. Simply blurr..
ugh! I consider myself a a blurr person, but never have i thought that expressionless is actually a disease. Maybe next time I need to think twice before labelling myself as blurr.. heck!
Just imagine you cannot smile to the person you like. Horrible isn't it? Then it will definitely affect one's social life. So I may be anti-social, but thank God I'm not pathologically blurr... phew!
Not being able to smile is one thing, not being able to show disapproval, disgust, and anger... is also a problem. But one good thing is, people may not be able to detect your inner feelings, as they cannot read your face.
Still, just be thankful for whatever God has given to us. Everything comes with some benefits...

me in some mystical dungeon for all eternity here, with the torture. Instead you go all Dumbledore on me.
