Have You Wonder Why You Must Work?



Dear Readers, it's me again. This time I look and think deep into what I have been doing everyday. It's certainly much much better then studying at some school and coming out with 0 knowledge.



Let's talk about how Singapore school operate. I've been in school almost my entire life (except for 2 years army). Today I see a major problem in how all the old age teachers, well... let's just say they are above 35 years old teachers who are stuck in this digital world where each of them have to carry a laptop around. They just couldn't catch up on learning all the computer terms. I do not doubt their skills but some of them really cannot communicate with the computer like I can't communicate with programming languages.



Let's look at both side. On the first we have the school:



They are trying to get the fastest and best PC for the teachers and HOD to use. Trying to let the students gain knowledge.



Let's look at the other side. The MOE however:



They are trying to stop virus, spyware, malware, security breaches.. etc. They try to restrict what the students and teachers can do on their PCs. They have this TOKEN for teachers and student log in to accounts that are 'restricted'. They put PC Technician to school to help 'restrict' the computers and help troubleshoot.



My Solution:



MOE should alias with the laptop / desktop vendor to come out with a 'cripped OS' for PCs so the only thing you can do on that PC is to just 1.surf net, 2.do spreadsheets, 3.email, 4.er.. what else? MSN is no no for them.



With this solution, PC problem will be cut more then 60%.



As I'm a deep thinker... the PC Technician would be out of job if this happen.







so next time you want road sweeper to keep their job, generously throw litters on the floor so they can sweep it up.

No litters = No job for them.

Choose instant messaging for increased productivity



A new study from Computer Standards and Interfaces seems to indicate
that for collaborative, non-face to face tasks, we do much better
communicating via IM rather than email:

On average, the IM teams produced one more idea than those using email.
The researchers suggests this may be due to the speed of IM compared to
email.

More and More Work

Having my first full time job up till now, I haven't really started teaching the secondary students yet. From what I heard, I will be teaching a lot of photoshop and flash.

Life has been about work work and more work. I have to catch hold of all the shit that my supervisor throw and service to all the non IT savvy teachers with ridiculous request like asking me to help them scan 100 pages and put into CD bcos the students is very stingy to buy the 2x $2.80 book.

Just wth is that? Got money buy HP no money buy book?

The secondary students nowadays are quite a farfetched from those secondary days I had. They now have the power of technology and any mistake like crash / lousy planning of timetable, they can just log online and post in straits time forum.

Will I die in their hands? or Will I get killed by my work?

p.s: Thanks Kok, for putting the comment box back.

I got baptise today.



What does baptism do?

There are, roughly speaking, four views of the effect of someone being baptised:

· Nothing. Christians need not bother with the physical sign of baptism if they experience the spiritual grace. Spirit-baptism is the fulfilment of the ceremony of water-baptism. This view is taken by churches which do not practice sacraments, such as the Quakers (Society of Friends) and Salvation Army.

· An expression of obedience to Jesus, and as such is desirable but not essential: it is a sign which symbolises an underlying reality but has no actual effect. This view is called Zwinglian (after Zwingli 1484-1531) or Baptist (but many Baptist theologians are closer to the Reformed view). One of the main points of baptism on this view is that it is a witness to others of one’s personal decision to follow Christ.

· It is a sign and seal, effecting what it signifies in the context of faith. This is the Reformed or Covenant view, held by the Church of England (in the 39 Articles of Religion in the Book of Common Prayer) and the Presbyterian Westminster Confession. “In the context of faith” means that the New Testament’s language of efficacy (e.g. Romans 6:4, 1 Peter 3:21) is correctly applied to those who trust in Jesus for themselves.

· it does what it says it does, actually making someone a Christian. This is called the “Catholic” or “Ex opere operato” view. (These Latin words mean it works by virtue of having been performed correctly.).

A Pile of Shit

I finally receive letters a few days ago from army. They will be calling me back for some 2hr mob briefing. Anyway, this sat will be my IPPT at bedok camp. I will go there and fail then see when is my RT.

I ask my mom to take out the boxes which contain all my army stuff. Opening them was a headache. All the smell of the army shirt, pants, SBO, bag, shoe, boots... what shit all inside. I had a headache cos I found out that I can only wear one set of the uniform. The rest are too small. I call up my unit and one gal answered the phone. I ask one question she ask me hold on and she ask another ppl the question and get back to me again. Wah Lau. I'm glad also lah cos it means that it's still as cock up as last time. (or hopefully worst)

I manage to get some help from fransin brother who go through with me what is a full pack item. The unit say I have to go back to air force e-mart and not army e-mart to buy my items. Nowadays there is no such thing as one to one exchange. I ask the gal on the phone how much I have in my card, she just siam and say she is not the one to check and she donno. (nice service)

My fullpack is very lethal. Look nice but deadly. Once you use the item inside you will have instant death. 6 years old toothpaste and toothbrush, 6 years old mass tin (if I spell it correctly), 6 years old powder, 6 years old rusty whister, 6 years old kiwi, 6 years old fork and spoon, 6 years old soap... I wonder use liao will die or not.


Freaking sian 1/2. This is the only magic set that fit me. I feel my brain power decrease by 3/4 and my body strength increase by 1/4 when I wear this 'magic overall'. I still lack a 'chao keng' glasses to complete my overall. maybe I should scroll my shirt? I lack weapon can't attack...

shit.. I talk like maple...
