24 Oct 2007 zoned out
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

There are a lot of feelings and thoughts going through me right now. Putting on a brave front is the best I can do (those who know me will understand how I feel)… There are so many things I don’t have an answer to, as I am taking and living one day at a time… Life is short, I don’t need to make my own life a living hell.

Speaking of which, e-learning week so far has been quite alright… Left some assignments to be done, which I am procrastinating. That’s bad! Argh. Attended my very first web conference. Kinda enjoyed it very much :) Although the timings are none the worse, 1 am Singapore Time. =X Over at San Francisco, its 10 am, where the conference commerce.

Ok, pretty much a short update today.

24 Oct 2007 rants of cabs and bus drivers
 |  Category: my life  | 16 Comments

Disclaimer: Not all drivers drive recklessly. Some are awfully nice :)

I think most bus and cab drivers are F1 wannabe drivers… The way they drive, makes me think that their vehicle is a powerful vehicle…. -.-” And who knows where they learn their acceleration and braking techniques… Damn “safe” la… What the hell. I just pray my hardiest that the bus won’t get involved in an accident or something… =X

Cab drivers are no better… One of them sped at 130 km/h on ECP in the first lane. I was literally clinging on to dear life. It’s craziness… True, I am a speed junkie, but not in such a vehicle that’s not meant to be driven at 130 km/h. Amazing that no TP appeared. -.-” where are they when you really need them?! The best part is when they act blur anyohow drive, making you pay more…

I detest those act blur types, unless they are genuinely unsure, or that they are new drivers. Usually I will guide them… :P because I know the direct route from highway to my house, don’t need to go one big round as some drivers claim. :P

Another reason for me to learn how to drive and ditch the messy public transport. I lost track of the countless time waiting for the buses, countless time chasing for the bus and yet it won’t stop… Perhaps its just the people… or maybe perhaps the driver…

But all these probably just gave me a whole lot more reason to push to get my driving licence as soon as possible. I relish the thought of driving myself to wherever I want to go, to places where public transport are more of hassle… That would probably be so cool… :)

24 Oct 2007 NetBeans IDE
 |  Category: my life  | Comments off

Attended my very first online conference of a net chat session with the people of Netbeans IDE themselves. It was very QnA style, and I quite enjoyed it, although the panelists are working furiously to churn out loads of answers. :)

Managed to ask my fair share of burning questions about NetBeans. :)

Shall post the link of the transcript when it is up. :)

Thanks Tianhong for the joining in the conference. It was good exchanging views and ideas :)
