子曰：“无欲速，无见小利。欲速，则不达；见小利， 则事不成.”
Haste makes waste - it is better to do things carefully than to do them quickly and carelessly.
子曰: "不患人之不已知，患不知人也。“
Don't worry that others dun understand u, but consider if you understand others.

1986 -- Kindergarden graduation..... mini-convocation =D
1987 -- Primary 1 ! Couldn't understand why so many classmates were crying when i was busy chit chatting to almost every one.
1989 -- My maths was terrible, i couldn't do long division. And i had to do so many times of correction until it was labelled correction -> re-correction -> re-re-correction. I sweared i will never be so insulted in class anymore!!!
1990 -- Started doing a maths assessment book by Dr.Plant...will never forget this book....that was how my maths became good..

Back on blog.
Been busy lately hence the lack of entries here. Anyway, this few days I am just waiting for singtel to launch the HTC Dream phone. The one that was called G1 over US side. A new phone running on a completely new platform, Google Andriod.
Its still a very "baby" platform hence a lot of features that windows mobile have, it might still be lacking. But anyway, since its open source, many pple are developing applications for it. Who knows I might just do some silly simple programs myself. [as if I can squeeze out time]
Nowadays besides my 'Standard' schedule, I am trying to slot in 2 slots for myself weekly. 1 for physical rest, doing nothing except sleeping/nuaing in front of my pc. I realised if I dun constantly remind myself the need to rest "physically". I might really just use up all my energy and end up having a very tough week struggling to fight the tiredness.
The other slot is for me sit down and think. There are always 1 million things on my mind but all in mindmap form. Not organised or rather very messy. Messy thoughts makes me a "pek chek" person. So it is necessary that everyweek i try to make these thoughts list in an orderly manner haha...
Till then, i will update more when its "appropriate"

Installing Windows 7 beta
Ok, i have partitioned my mini-acer netbook with 16gb for the installations. Installation is successful liao. 1st experience with it --> the boot up is quite fast and it does not have a logo during the black screen boot up ( unlike for XP boot up, there is already a big logo)
During setup screen, the 1st thing that didn't work was the touch pad's click.. mouse can move but cannot touch to click, i have to press the button next to the track pad to perform single click.
Ok now, i am at the famous gold fish screen liao..lets see what else...
New features i am playing now
-- Sticky notes, ok basically it works like "Post-it Notes" that a lot of pple are familiar with. Just that it looks sleek =D but not much features...just write note, change background color only. Can bold it also la... but i cannot find any options to change the font / font color.. nor set any alarm etc...
-- Control panel, ok i tried accessing it, cos i want to find the settings where i can re-enable my touch pad. the window pops up just like vista. And hahaha...on my mini acer with 1GB ram. So far it still does not yet =D hehe Ok i can't find the track pad settings..i think i am missing the drivers.
-- Realised that the ethernet controller is also disabled...let me go install my drivers......ok...managed to connect via my lan cable and also via wireless....hehe so this part is solved.
-- Snipping tool, this is a screen capture tool , once activated, it will prompt u to drag and select area to capture. Quite good...ok later i can use it to capture my screen shots.
Also noticed some new windows games. Got the mahjong select tiles game but its call a different name.
Em...quite late liao..time to go to bed... i guess tomorrow i will try the audio and video settings...plus maybe install the trial version of office 2007 and then see how it looks like here....
