"one of those techie days"

yes it is one of those days when i contemplate on the various technologies which i hope can change the world for the better...

fusion technology have always been a important energy source i've been looking out for...repeatedly following up on its successes and shortcomings... no doubt i feel that it will bring immense humanitarian benefits to all...imagine our energy supplies is secure with minimal pollution...and the benefit it can bring to under-developed nations... however the security and proper usage of such technology like its cousin "fission" must be carefully treaded....

ramjet or scramjet technology is another area of interest in waiting under my wings....imagine the today when we can make sub-orbital flights in an instant with non-pollutive fuel such as hydrogen. travelling from country A to B will be a breeze...eventually i do hope in my time this will be a reality and move on to the eventual space travel realms.

bio-fuels... though a lot have been said and done about this alternative energy source, its potential is definitely immense and yet... i feel the way to go about this is to educate the necessity and un-denying fact that we need to find ways to have a sustainable environment in the world... the world is having a slight fever or infection of late, with weird weather and unpredictable consequences.... i guess this goes beyond politics and its in everyones' interest that we protect and cherish our planet before we all do not have a place to stay in....

solar technology is at the stage of popularity right now....though the technology is out for many years already...it is only recently that it has become truly affordable.... i must say singapore has taken a bold and calculated step in acquiring this technology for its stable future and i take my hats off to the leaders for this...though i should think we could have started earlier.... yupz if you haven't read the news....we are making the biggest solar plant in shiny small singapore...capable of generating enough electricity to power several million homes a year....this is one small step for the country one giant leap for energy independence from existing energy sources... i do hope our government will have the people's interest at heart and reduce the bills hahahaha... it will be great news...

wind technology is not very likely to take off smoothly like solar...but given time and better fuel cell and energy generating turbines used in the giant wind mills....i believe it will play a important role in reducing the need for fossil fuel consumption like the rest of the alternatives are playing right now....

well, i'm not really in a crusade mode to say the earth is dying or there are environmental problems that are so real it will affect us deeply...but i must say this... if we do not start to think carefully of the consequences now...we will live to regret the day when it all comes to nothing...

"worldly thinking"

am just sitting in my room quietly listening to the sounds and i realised... i've not found the passion in my work life...

am not too sure what or where i will end up working...but yet i've lofty ambitions unrealised... i'm just biding my time now and hopefully the new year will be better.... i'm fortunate to have close family and frens by my side now...and most importantly my faith have been renewed dramatically...

surprisingly church and the many activities have enriched my life and am always looking forward to more.... =) unlike what paul has installed for himself, i guess what i have is good for me now...

well ken has always been the forerunner...and its good to see him do so well... but yeah it is good that he is settling down to the hustle and bustle of work life just so well...

as for me, i'm just going to take it easy on the work life for now...even though i understand the need of practicality to survive and to do things i want to do.... my dream comes first and i'm going to take the big gamble right now to try... if all else fails... i would just have to say good bye from that dream for the time being and set my other priorities first.... i can always try again in the future..

sometimes i wished i wasn't born in this era...why wasn't i born during the warring era or the dynastic changes of china? hahaha wished i could be a general or a advisor like guan yu or zhuge liang.... where heroes were made... oh well

"jobless"

haha now is the crunch time. to search for a new job... well i do know there are many jobs out there but which ones i can qualify? which wants i think i can do? which ones are the right ones for my skills? hmmm looks like it will be some time before i start work le....

its downtime for me....so sad

"fever"

oh boy... not fever again???

"a nice long break"

took a fantastic break away from home and away from the hustle and bustle of life...it was sort of a good nice retreat... glad that i had a good company =)

sometimes i really wonder why everyone is so caught up in the bustle of life...why must we work so hard to earn so much money so that we can get through life...but yet most of the time an average person like me only can just barely survive with what we earn...

of late have been seeing a lot of "make it big, learn the best, earn the most money" kind of adverts that tells us how to maximise our money on the stock markets, shares, currency trading etc...

then it suddenly dawned on me that its a rat race out there and it will never stop. everyone wants a better life and its never enough...

for me i just want a simple life...yet in a materialistic and very very practical world... without the monetary means nor skill sets i will not survive.... not as though i can just go to my backyard and be a farmer or fisherman...

so from today onwards i will set down a ground rule... a goal... a dream... that by 2010 (29 years old!) i can gain some form of financial freedom and stability.

well that's my take from my retreat....but nevertheless it was a nice long break

"smooth-ness"

well things dun seem to be going well for me it seems...but a little prayer seems to go a long way. have been really active in church and RCIA... hahaha kinda funny how someone like me who lack the religious discipline nor attitude like Paul be so committed to something...hahaha

seems like GOD really works in a miraculous way... =) glad that i'm loving it. know the journey ain't easy but at least i got started....

well you can say its smooth.... with the 'ness' added
