Church choir

Well we got put into our vocal groups today. I was in the baritone group, so that's like the mid-range for the males. Not too low and not too high, it's juust right =P
We had our first practice run as a 3 piece choir and it was awesome! No Amanda it didn't rain =)
Praise God for that, even though we're doing pretty well, we have only just begun, and there is still plenty to practice and learn.

Exams are closing in on me ... nooo!! it only felt like a few days ago that I still had 3 weeks, but now the gap has closed to 3 days!! No more slacking off now ...

All the best! for all you people that still have exams and for those who don't ... you don't need to rub it in -_-''

Current Mood: busy

Home sweet home

came home today from uni, hallelujah, praise GOD!....now you're probably thinking why am I so glad to be home...well today I had to go home today by myself and the last bus was at 9.28, but I got to the station at 9.50 (ish) soo...I ended up walking home...in the dark and all, which reminded me of this verse:

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." - Psalms 23:4

So praise God for getting me home safely =)

Current Mood: thankful

Lazy

Was planning on doing some work at uni today, but ended up bludging all day at work (not surprisingly). I never get anything done in there. I better get this assignment done before I get in trouble, my lecturer's already given way too much of an extension.

All day I was feeling pretty ok, and just when I'm about to do some serious work, I get a headache...great...now it's time to sleep =P

Current Mood: worried

Answered prayer

Firstly praise God for the rain, because I did ask for rain. Rain means fresh air, which is good since there are heaps of sick people.

Got a haircut today, the usual short stuff ...

The pastor from my old church had a birthday party, so we had dinner there. The desert was sooo good. It was trifle, if you don't know what it is, well it's a layered mixture. There's a layer of soft spongy cake, then a layer of rich creamy custard, next there's a layer of fresh juicy fruits and finally topped off with sweet cream ... mmmmm ... andmost importantly it's all made with low fat stuff so there you go ^_-

Current Mood: full

Testing mood script

If you can see the picture then it's working...didn't quite get it to work. If you're wondering, I was trying to make a script so that I can easily call the pictures from the current mood (found at livejournal.com). Guess I'll try again later....

But it seems the URL for them is almost the same so may as well put that in the post template and just change the filename when I need to..

Current Mood: geeky

As sick as a dog

Headache, body ache, major nasal congestion, fever and to top it off, my nose bled twice today...and that pretty much sums up most of the day...

On a more positive note, I got some work done on my assignment, now my drawing app can print and I've got preferences to change the background colour. Also finished the UML class diagram for it (well I hope it's right).

On the bus to central one of the people I helped while working (at IT Service Desk) remembered me, because I was helping her to get on to UniWide. So we chatted until Central, about stuff. That was unexpected, but I guess at those times, makes you feel good that you're working at IT Service Desk.

I'm going to sleep before 12 tonight...well trying to, this would be the first time I've slept before 12 since December I think...

Other news:
Apple announced that they will be using Intel chips, exciting stuff!!

Close but no cigar

Just got home from Uni, doing the OS assignment, well you know what, we managed to pass the "huge" test (we passed the 2nd test) but that was in a way just a coincidence because we didn't implement everything yet. So by the looks of it we should be close to finishing, let's hope that the past few days of staying late at uni is going to pay off.

A few of my friends have OO projects due tomorrow (and some are also doing OS ..), so hope they can make it. Amanda has 2 exams tomorrow as well. Will be praying for all of you. God bless.

Things are looking up..

for OS anyway, finally got some part of the assignment done (and working, i.e. haven't broken it so far =P )
still got the hard part to do

can't wait for holidays, albeit I'll most probably be doing my thesis, web stuff and maybe practice my singing (since I joined the church choir now...yes I know...Victor sing?? what the??). I'm leaving it up to God, nothing is impossible with God, even getting me to sing =P

Strange dreams

been getting them lately. 2 nights ago I had a dream that this girl (who I don't personally know) calls me up out of nowhere. Then I had a dream that I was leaving to go somewhere, me and one of my friends (who also happens to be a work mate) started this game where we call each other bad things and then eventually cried and hugged...because I was leaving...strange because that's not like me...I don't think...

Last night I had another dream where another friend of mine doing a similar course asked me to play something, and he showed me this thing that could "cleanse" you (rectally)...weird...because the thing is you're meant to lie down (without clothes of course) with legs apart and hold this thing that looks like a hose...I still don't get it...

Do these things mean anything? we'll just have to see....

Blogging via email

I hope this works, trying this post by email function.

Had our first (church) choir meeting today, man I
reckon we're gonna have such a blast. I still need to
practice heaps though I reckon...

Man OS is hardd -_-

It's all over..

for now anyway...now I need to get the other 2 assignments done and then study for exams. This cycle just keeps repeating every semester...

If you're interested I've made a blog specifically for my thesis
http://victorthesis.blogspot.com

So fullll

Had Hurricanes for dinner, man I am so full (ate half a chicken and half a rack of ribs).
Presentation tomorrow, I need more practice too, gonna practice now before sleeping.

Thanks Amanda =)

Snazzy

Having fun with Keynote, making my presentation look good :)
Well gotta make sure I say the right things though...

Just a little over a day to go...

Procrastination

Phew...Uniwide installs can really take it out of you. Trying to think of a name for my browser, so far the names I've thought up are:
- Hawk
- vBrowse
- CHIBA (Computer Human Interaction Browsing Analyst)

Stil not sure which name to give it, CHIBA seems the most original, but I might think of some other names later. Got until Wednesday to decide I guess...I really should get going with this seminar, so I can do other work as well ¬_¬

Money

That's what it all comes down to everytime...
Had a conversation today with my brother in-law and it brought to my attention that everything we do now, all the development, might make our lives easier in some ways, but it also makes it harder in ways such as food, more and more people are heading toward the city life where all the MONEY is and there are less and less workers at the farms. So inevitably the prices for food will increase. Well it doesn't help if all we're using our money for is food..
So why can't we do anything? because we are not the creators of those plants and animals, we can't improve it, only God can. We can try to help things along, but that's about it. The only other way is to do things artificially...which I am not going to support at all.

So it is inevitable, after all this is the fate that all humans must realise because of our own disobedience.

"To Adam he said, "Because you listened to your wife and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."
[Genesis 3:17-19]

Cleaning

That's what I did for most of today. Which is good, now my room seems bigger. Haven't alot of sleep lateley due to thesis and assignments, and I'm starting to feel a fever coming on, probably the reason why I got nosebleeds last 2 days.

1 down 2 to go

Thesis A report is finished!! The report ended up being 40 pages long, it doesn't seem like I did much work though. 2 more things left to do, user interface assignment and thesis seminar (next week).

Thesis..

progressing ever so slightly. Introduction is almost done..I think..still much to write..still yet to finish the first usability test review...found some things that I did not find while doing an expert review, and for the next usability test, we're going to try MyBrowser. Just going to use the Run log to keep track of things, couldn't get poseAsClass to work, probably just end up doing a copy paste of the Run log..

busy busy busy

Mouse events...

Got a few mouse events to work with my MyBrowser. I used a number of delegate methods to do this.

OS Assignment is taking way too much of my time. Only today I finally got it to work properly (with some help) -_-'

It's almost 10.30pm and I'm still in the labs...I'm hungry as well...time to go home I guess

I've got the power!! ... I think..

I finally got Office today. I also got iWork and a 512 stick, which means I've got 1GB of ram now, so hopefully don't have to worry about running out of ram anymore. Didn't get much work done at all today, cept we got Ethics done, I think. Just when I'm about to do work I get a throbbing headache, and now that I'm tired and need to sleep, the headache is gone...

So weird....
