My SIM Grades

Filed under: Personal

My full set of results for my university days. University days… I’m already speaking like I’ve already left it, like I’m old and reminiscing about my xiang tang nian. Damn. There’s still the FYP to go but asides that, yeap! That’s pretty much it. Time to go to the world and slave for society. Can’t wait.

Change. Because it is necessary

Filed under: Personal, Musings

Yes, we meant to blog regularly. Everyone does and then work, studies or other more demanding things in life start taking more and more of our time and energy away.

In this time and age, every day has a dateline, a time limit. When the job is done and over, there are just more datelines to meet. Blogging just fades away in the priority list.

The same could be said of almost every other thing in life without a dateline. As long as no one is pushing for it, the task is likely left undone until it can no longer be ignored.

And yet, there are many busy people that maintain very active blogs for years. Some of those I follow could post -very- lengthy essays regularly. What is our problem really?

I think we’re just really huge procrastinators. Ever took one of the facebook quizzes or email quizzes on what’s your sin? My money for the top answer would probably be Sloth. There are probably worse sins like greed. Who doesn’t have wants? We want to be something, we want to have achievements. Even the basic want of tangible objects requires money. But we’re probably too lazy to make an effort to be satisfy the greed. We do enough to make ourselves temporarily happy and no further.

It’s not that everyone is a procrastinator. It just happens to be a majority. Life is so much easier if we were to open Excuses 101 and find a line to ease ourselves every now and then. Perhaps it is the people we hang out with that makes us laze. I for one see that a lot of my friends are too lazy to make progress for ourselves, myself included. Every small progress we make is considered a big milestone when we should ask ourselves, are we really doing enough?

The efforts I see being made are primarily spent on enjoyment. Either gaming, beautifying ourselves, engaging in social activities or just doing nothing. And yet when I talk to any one of them about our current state of life, we find ourselves unfulfilled. No matter how much we spend money on clothes or time on gaming, when time marches on and we look back, we feel we’ve accomplished nothing much…

And yet we do not change.. We continue this lifestyle… Because it is much easier. Change is a hard task to achieve. Harder still, is the task of maintaining the change. It is so easy to fall back to our old ways, our old lifestyle…

Perhaps if everyone around us changed together, we might not be so negligent on our goals and aspirations. When our close ones progress and we are left behind, perhaps then we will wake up and start to change with them. But how… How can the first change commence…

iPhone4 vs HTC Evo

Filed under: Videos, Humour, Gadgets

Of course, there are also quite a number of non-ignorant and tech savvy people that use iPhone 4. It just boils down to a matter of personal preference.

Another vid but in iPhone4’s defense.

Honestly, I don’t know much about phones that’s available these days and difference in their features and price since I’m in no need of a new phone. But if I had to choose in general between an Andriod and an iPhone, I think I’d pick the Andriod at this point of time. I use a few of Google’s stuff and it’d be nice to sync them with not just my computer but the phone as well. And I’d buy only and -only- when the touch screen becomes responsive enough and the phones operate smoothly enough which should be no where soon.
