My Freezing Goodness

And you thought you were a pro overclocker?! Think again, a team from AMD pushed the new Phenom II Quad core processor to a blistering 6.5Ghz! The best part, they managed to benchmark it. Check out the video after the break.

My... Right

There's no more fun in being right anymore. I always thought that truth in itself would be a delightful thing. That people sought after truth. That truth in its purest and most concrete form would banish all lies. Why then does it seem that now, the more truthful you become, the more the lies seem to shout louder?

As Christians we are told to "speak the truth in love" but then it seems that nowadays, truth is only chiefly concerned with hurting someone, or tearing them down, or only spoken when it affects you directly. Is that the way things are supposed to be? On the flipside though, why does it seem that people these days are so afraid to change? To accept constructive criticism?

I guess a lot of it has to do with my previous thought. They are so used to the fact that truth is used as a weapon that they assume that everything people say which is true about them is going to be used sooner or later to attack them. Sigh. I. Don't. Know. Anymore.

So where does that leave us then? How are we to reach a generation of people who have so twisted ideas about truth, honesty, about friendship? I always thought being a true friend meant that you genuinely cared for that person and would be willing to "rock the boat" so to speak, when you see your friend spiralling out of control, or you see him/her doing something which might be detrimental down the line.

On a side note, I am really excited about Windows 7. I have been playing around with the Beta quite a bit (in-fact I installed it on my sister's laptop and its now her primary OS and things seem ok. At this point in time, its even better than Vista. Though I still prefer Mac OS X (no danger in me uhm "backsliding" :P) but still I'm glad that PC users will finally have a good alternative or at least I hope nothing goes seriously wrong with it from now till its released.

My Departure

Well I am still waiting for my visa to be approved but as it is, I already have bought my ticket and by faith I will be leaving soon. Just to let it out there, I'll be leaving on the 2nd of February and my flight is at 1:15pm.

I will be sad to leave everything I know and love, but at the same time I am excited and looking forward to stepping onto the soil of another country (which I hear is absolutely fantastic by the way). Hopefully, I will update my blog more often then as well being around the people that I know that much, I don't really see a point in posting things that people already know LOL.

My Palm P(t)RE(e)

I have never been as excited -nor will I be as disappointed if it doesn't work- for a smartphone/mobile phone than this. Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Palm Pre (It rhymes with Tree if you didn't know that already :P).

Check out the whole in-depth impressions of it after the jump.

My World 2

Another quote of the frickin' day! For *SOME* of the *WIDESPREAD* issues (allegedly) with Macs that you see on Mac forums....

Looks around emergency room: "Oh my God! Everyone's sick. We're doomed!"

Priceless!

My Welcome, and Goodbye

Well 2008 has officially passed and as we usher in the new year, I would like to spend some time to reflect on the year that was 2008.

2008 was a good year for me. Well mostly, that is. It was a year of great changes and new experiences. It was a year where I learnt a lot of things. Not only academically but also life-lessons, what it means to be an adult, and not forgetting spiritual lessons as well.

2008 was the year that I finished my tertiary education. Where I graduated to move on to the next phase of my life. It was also the year when I learnt the intricacies of human relationships and I'm still quite perplexed with it but hey, life goes on. You live, and you learn. It was a year of ups and downs. Of really being able to see God's hand moving and guiding me along the path in which I should take. It was a year of rekindling old friendships, of forging new ones. Of learning how important family is and how at the end of it all, family is really all you have.

And so now that 2009 is here, and the horizons are open to me once more. I can't help but wonder what lies ahead of me. As I push ahead to whatever it is I'm supposed to do, I can only hope and pray that the Lord will continue to guide and provide me strength to go through the year 2009.

Here's to a great 2009! :)
