I know much but achieve little. Who can guess that your attitude towards relationships can also be applied to pretty much every other aspect of your life.
Where are the other interesting people who have commitment issues, not just in love, but in general.
Makes me a sad sad man.
I am surprised that I haven’t lost it yet, especially when I have to deal with other people nicely. Moving on to deal with code and machine doesn’t seem such a bad idea all of a sudden.
Maybe it’s just a matter of time.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to any place that offers real food. Thanks to the hectic work schedule that I have, 14 hours a day, 5 days a week and 9 to 5 on Saturdays.
Therefore the painful experience I have at Botejyu (Liang Court) only made my life worse. The business model of serving people frozen food and making them pay much more than the its cost is sure to fail one of these days. Before I get sued I think I should retract that statment. I don’t know if Botejyu serves frozen food or not. It’s just that their Tofu Burger set tasted like some Japanese TV Dinner set gone wrong.
Well, the government, or more specifically, the Ministry of Education has decided to suspend all AWARE related sexuality programme because it has found them to be “too explicit and inappropriate, and convey messages which could promote homosexuality or suggest approval of pre-marital sex”.
Happy now? It’s not just the real Christians who are doubting AWARE. The secular government of Singapore has also made a statement about its views.
So tell me do you still think AWARE is pro or neutral? = =
For some strange reason or other, PHP5 on GoDaddy hosted sites will return $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] with a duplicated string.
Meaning it will return the file name and the directory twice. So instead of:
/myfolder/myfile.php
It will instead return you:
/myfolder/myfile.php/myfolder/myfile.php
Which really fucks up your PHP program if you are with GoDaddy.
Took me 2 hours to find out what was causing the problem and to fix it.
The solution is to use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] instead of $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
Let me know if this helped. Sure fixed my CubeCart installation woes.
My head is hurting from all the conflicting and stupid (for the lack of a better term) views that people have regarding the recent AWARE leadership shuffle.
AWARE stands for “Association of Women for Action & Research”. It is a non profit organization that advocates “Gender equality for all”. From the name and its mission statement, I think it is clear that it is a feminist organization to all of us. I am all for feminism, in the sense that I believe that men and women should have the same fundamental rights, like the right to vote, the right to employment and such. However the first thing that makes my head hurt is the way that women define equality. The equality seems to only apply to those rights that benefit them. I have yet to come across any feminist demanding the privilege to serve in the army along the men. But let’s reserve that for another post, if I have the time.
What really ticks me off is that AWARE really seem to have been infiltrated. No, I am not talking about the all-Christian, all-Chinese new executive community. I am talking about the previous pro homosexual one. In an organization called “Association of Women for Action & Research” I fail to see the place of a “Male Chapter”. Especially when the leader of the Male Chapter is keen (and I quote) to “deconstruct male gender & male heterosexual hegemony“. So the male homosexuals are now considered women? WTF?
I can list serveral more examples of how AWARE has gone gay, all the materials and references are provided by the ex-exco of AWARE. It is clear that AWARE does have a pro homosexual agenda. We shall just respect a secular organization’s right to be as gay loving as they wish. After all this is a supposedly free country that still criminalizes sodomy.
Having said the above, I fully understand why the ex-exco bunch of Christians are concerned. By definitions Christians are supposed to be against homosexuals, after all Sodom and Gomorrah were nuked by God for a reason. But by making the showdown public, in a secular country where the number of secular people far outnumber the number of religious faithfuls, this is a battle that they cannot win. Sure enough they were ousted on 2nd of May.
My view has always been that I will respect your fucking rights if you respect my right to view your fucking right as wrong. You have the right to screw with whoever you want (get it? fucking right.) , but I have the right to make a moral judgment on that. Homosexuality is not normal. It is also considered as a sin. Do it if you want.
Now allow my rant to continue. This is directed at the self proclaiming hypocritical Christians who say that they should be against the change of leadership in AWARE. Please fuck off ok? Staying neutral is not the same as going against. I see a bunch of people saying that we shall not judge but they keep forgetting that it doesn’t mean we should just remain oblivious, it just means that we shouldn’t become overtly judgmental. However we should always be ready to stand for what we believe and point out what is wrong. See http://www.biblebelievers.com/jmelton/Judging.html
Any way, as my past experiences show, people don’t like to be wrong. If you manage to prove that they are, they will just deny it. Eventually it just evolve into a huge verbal sparring with no real meaning. I am just glad that I can bitch about it here and forget the next day.
The ongoing pandemic is probably the most talked about subject at the moment. People talk about the spreading virus in different regions of the globe as they watch the news stream in from everywhere.
However today I was at the library and I saw that the authorities have already enforced a personal information collection policy at the entrance. All those who visit the library will have their particulars scanned and stored, in case of a outbreak the individuals can then be tracked down and quarantined.
In conjunction with the government take over of a chalet resort to quarantine the suspected carriers, the Singapore government is really taking this thing as serious as they should be.
Singapore cannot afford another SARS like scare, not when the economy is already doing as badly as it is.
There is no better way to show that the management sucks than making everyone in the team work 13 hours a day.
The software development life cycle is not like the sweat shops in china where the amount of productivity is measured by the hours you put in. If we wanted to do manual labour we wouldn’t have waste the time seeking higher education.
So face it, the project is falling apart becuase of poor planning, poor implementation and poor mangement. Waterfall styled projects fail 83% of the time and having a bunch of people who can’t deploy things property 4 months into testing is just way too much. Finally a management that just want to look at pretty numbers is both unethical and unprofessional. How about being realistic and admit the mistakes, so the fucking company can learn to wake up?
I wonder how many of you still remember Brick. My very first laptop, which is also a 17″ monster from Dell.
As a testimony to what I tell other people about Dell’s workmanship, it is still alive and well after 3 years of brutal abuse by me.
Installing Ubuntu 9.04 on it right now, taking up the entire hard disk. Should be interesting somewhat as a test machine. Let’s see how well it runs.
Why does the WoW background downloader opens with your mouse cursor pointed to the Cancel button? When you double click on the minimized icon in your system tray, you immediately cancel the download. Leading to much frustration.
The aircon that makes the room hotter instead of cooler is also getting on my nerves. I paid for a working aircon and not something that pisses me off.
Temperature in the room now, at night, is fucking 35 degrees Celsius. What the hell is going on man. Global warming at its best?
