if you read harry potter, you'ld know that their chronicles and books have got moving pictures. eg: the photo featured in an article will have the people in the picture waving at you, while you read about the news or the text in books.
do you know that this may come true?!?
though it hasn't been said so but i am sure it will eventually be like that. given another few years.
i read from the papers that Fujitsu has invented a paper that has a "scan image memory" function. that is, we can upload pictures on a piece of paper, change & update the picture as and when we like. they are commercializing it in 2007 as they are currently testing on the prototype. i am very excited becos im sure that the still/static picture would eventually become a moving one. the day will come when our school text books will have demonstration (picture) with text and our daily newspaper will have moving pictures as well! isn't that wonderful to even think about it?
k talk later. got to run.

i surrendered
hello everyone, i missed you.
i had so many things to update you, every day i think about telling you all my nonsense but i didnt get around to do it. so sorry, because by the time i wanna blog about it, sometimes i loose the steam.
anyway-- ladies and gentlemen, im now working in an industry i've never thought i'ld be.
marine industry. dealing with "oil & gas" - ship deck fittings, chains, anchors, pumps, mud pumps, hoses, chain block, hoist, sling.... anything you name in on a ship i'll have it. i have to learn to be comfortable posting orders that are 100,000 US dollars sometimes. 2 weeks into this job, i surprise myself that it is rather interesting. more interesting that i thought it will be. the thing is that it is a little scary for me because there is no one person who is responsible for guiding me. not my manager, not anyone. but they all say "got problem ask me" but they didnt realise that they are the ones giving me the assignment in a chunk. just one file, stack of papers and you just dig in and dig out. this is good and bad. good because i am forced to learn from bolts and nuts bad is that hey, how would i know what to ask when i dont know that i dont know. well... just go along lor.... every day i pray that i am doing things correctly. hahahah. so i become a daily prayer.
talk about praying. i got this job in exactly 30 days since i started job search. it was havoc for me as i was desperately in need of cash to even have a decent meal. boy it was stressful and future was bleak. i had a few prospected employer exxonmobile, etc all said they will call me to inform about the hiring status but they never did. NEVER. i was wondering how we became so unprofessional, how did our human resource profession become so sloppy. and i was getting disappointed every day. i took a beating when i did some temp work that i had forced upon myself,, i just needed the cash.
then i gave up. i said to God; "God, you know this is hard for me, i have credit bills to pay, insurance premiums to pay and so many friends didnt get their birthday gifts this year and i wanna buy them christmas gifts this year. God, it is hard for me but i am sure you have your plans. I give up, i''ll leave it to you as i dont know what i want really, and i trust that you know what's best for me. even if i dont get a job in time and all by financial portfolios get topsy turvey, i still trust that this is your plan for me."
the next thing i know was that i was offered this job.
beautiful isn't it?
ya da ya da ya da. i wont complain a single word because i have made a pact that i'll be responsible for my decision when i accept this job. i trust that God knows why he is had given me a 5.5 day work week though i ....... have to make huge effort to adapt.... i have had a 5 day work week for the past 9 years. 9 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! friday nites are party nites, saturdays are to be slept in till 2pm... sunday is leisure. hey i am learning to accept this here. oh, maybe the company will have an alternate sat week.
hey i got to go i'll write again asap i have so many things to tell you.
