What better than a frying pan for a birthday present? Happy birthday iamafool! Getting old brings you one step closer to Satan/God.
Anyway, heres a story i really like because it talks about happyness, which i personally like a lot :D.
The Widow
Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to drain the fluids from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed next to the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed would live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the outside world. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake, the man had said. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm amid flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should hehave all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented, the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy eroded into resentment and soon turned him sour. He began to brood and found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window - and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough. He was choking on the fluid in his lungs. The other man watched in the dimly lit room as the struggling man by the window groped for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence--deathly silence.
The following morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths. When she found the lifeless body of the man by the window, she was saddened and called the hospital attendant to take it away--no words, no fuss. As soon as it seemed appropriate, the man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
Moral of the story:
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we consciously choose to express. It is not a gift that gets delivered to our doorstep each morning, nor does it come through the window. And I am certain that our circumstances are just a small part of what makes us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never find lasting joy.
The pursuit of happiness is an inward journey. Our minds are like programs, awaiting the code that will determine behaviors; like bank vaults awaiting our deposits. If we regularly deposit positive, encouraging, and uplifting thoughts, if we continue to bite our lips just before we begin to grumble and complain, if we shoot down that seemingly harmless negative thought as it germinates, we will find that there is much to rejoice about.

Bittersweet symphony: Rock & Classics. A fund-raising concert for saint luke's hospital held at MG school.
Abstract from producer: "Why This concert is called bitter sweet is because it contains bitter and sweet in it."
Also, Daphne Khoo, finalist of Singapore pulled of a gig...which was definitely very spectacular. To all ladies wearing super-duper high-heels, try not to dance too much on a waxed floor. Sure, the most exciting part about the $10.50 is the falling down...but lets not say too much, for it is not you who fell.
NiCK's favourite was the cow song. The lyric was a big joke. Humans cross-dressed as cows and ran around the stage and the butcher chasing them with a giant cleaver.
All in all, it was kinda fun lah...especially Vanessa was feeding me chocolate cookie bits. Yum!
11:46 PM
I'm getting old. Really really old. 2 years ago: NiCK was a sec 4 kid playing clarinet for syf. Now, i have to watch. Yeah, i guess its nice to see all my juniors grow taller than me. :(. I'm old, short, skinny, stupid and worst of all, hungry(as thats the worst threat in my life now).
SYF = no-idea-why-its-called-singapore-youth-festival
Anyway, today is a day much to be remembered. Used so very often to compare standards, fairfield band did their thing. Sadly, the judges didn't really think so and we got Silver. The looks on the juniors faces were horrifying. Really really really horrifying. Many were crying, some didn't dare look at us seniors. Worst still, a few even mentioned that they weren't able to maintain our gold and let us down. Alas, this is the worst case scenario.
Typical NiCK: Upon hearing silver, NiCK didn't really feel very sad lah. Its all that grit, Ela1ne lim's(in case she searches for her name in google.com, she will never arrive here) fault.
11:45 AM
Hello friends, I decided to change the skin and remove the tagboard temporarily. Ain't Baby Gaara just so cute? Ha ! bet you're all drooling.
By the way, #bandmusic in Galaxynet is sort-off reopened. If you're caught, don't blame me. NiCK is a law abiding Man of justice...most of the time. Good luck and hope you download as many songs modem/routerly possible.

KindAmen/once cake/second dog soft is a spyware that acts like a advertisement. It changes your browser page every few minutes, adds retarded bars with "links" on your internet explorer interface. In order to do this, it changes your registries and runs itself silently in the background. If you try to delete the registries, it will automatically add the registries back. Human fingers cannot win computer speed. You can't close the program either, cause its being used when you crtl+alt+delete.
So you start thinking, there are spyware detector programs. Lets just let it do its things and rape this spyware bugs. End of problem, or so you think, only to realise when you restart your computer, that your internet explorer homepage url looks awkward.
Then you curse and swear ...and curse and swear and curse and swear even more! Bloody hell, WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH MY COM? I HAVE LATEST ADDITION SPYWARE PROTECTION PROGRAMS, I HAVE MULTIPLE VIRUS SCANNERS(which technically isn't possible due to overwriting each other), I HAVE NO GAMES, DON'T VISIT PORN SITES(which is usually the easiest way to get viruses and spyware)...
Many spywares are easily noticed, others aren't even thought as spyware. NiCK's comment: Don't know what file that is? DELETE IT..probably harmful....of course, you should use ur brain too....if YOU blame me for YOUR deletion of YOUR xxx.dll file found in YOUR windowsxp directory, TOO BAD GET IT? TOO BAD !!!! YOU CAN JUST JUMP OFF THE BUILDING!!!! If not worst, JUST CHOKE YOURSELF ON THE NEAREST TOILET BOWL AVALIABLE.
NiCK has 1 recommendation. SPY-BOT.(click here to download). It is downloadable from www.downloads.com Spy-bot has the registry tracker, which allows you to deny or allow any changes in your registry. Sure its irritating, like maybe when you're playing warcraft 3 frozen throne FREE battlenet, Dota using bone clinkz, suddenly a window popups up, causing some noob which you was-just-about-to-kill kill you instead. But nevermind it, NiCK's experience...no spyware for a few YEARS. Not even twice...with this exception cause i ACCIDENTALLY CLICKED ALLOWED ^%&@^#%&&@#^ followed by a half hour of pain.

?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??
You're Beautiful...but why? ( PICS)
~*~*~*~*~UNIQUE~*~*~*~*~
You are different. You're the type of person that
is easily spotted in a crowd. You have a
radiant personality. You probably go through a
lot of mood swings from happy to lonely, angry
to sad, loving to spiteful, and so on. Be aware
that your sudden change in personality may
offend some people. People like to be around
you because you are genuine and relaxed. You
seem at peace with yourself and you give off
that "what you see is what you get"
vibe. That's a good thing because your general
audience will feel relaxed and at ease knowing
that they too can be themselves with out having
to worry. Try not to judge others on their
appearance. It's not nice. Over all you're a
spirited person who enjoys having a good time!
Good for you! :o)
The Pirates of the CaribbeanIQ...duh!~(now with pics!)
You're a real pirate, mate! That's how well you
know the story (or you're a very obsessed
teen.)Congrats, again, or as Cap'n Jack Sparrow
would say: 'Drink up me hearties, yo ho!'
Uhh.... yeah! We'll go with that.

7 little people joined together under the eyes of god the father to form Bai Zhen Qi's le magnifique adimango bellaverse kabong *click*.
Ha hahah..Bet you guys are wondering what the heck(wth = what the heck, not what the hell) that stupidly long funny sounding name is. Well, first of all, it ain't stupid. Its origins are more numerous than your name. Whats more, it contains french, english and chinese all in one. How many people's names actually have such apple pie combinations?
Anyway, today was the first meeting for bible study led by me! And the fellowship and stuff...maybe we should call ourself the fellowship of the thing. Overall the group is fun and very intelligent at times(HaHa).
BTW, don't watch House of fury. You only get to see a few cute girls, but thats not worth $8.50.

Statement: I've never been awarded by the police for saving an old lady from being flattened by the a 2 tonne vechicle. Neither have i commited crimes worthy of landing my sorry ass in prison. Best of all, i've only earnt slightly more than 500 dollars in my life.
Then i realised, The police could always catch me for a silent crime. Supposing each one is RIAS' equavilent to 10k, PAP would be able to suck out a hefty 22.4 million sing dollars.

4:34 PM
If i say i haven't had time to update my blob, that would be a lie. This is the period of time where i allow lazyness to overwhelm me for the entire day. Productiveness level 0% absolute.
Who can reject a free meal? Not i, not you...except a dead person. After a day of massacre,plotting schemes to defeat 3 monstrous villians and a dumb commando using the most despicable methods thinkable and sleeping, I headed off for a free dinner. Just imagine shredded white juicy chicken, fresh and taste-butt-turn-on foods...
Following that, LOTR 9 hours...excluding a 9 hour sleep in the middle. Howard shores is a genius especially sincethe whole sound track evolves around the same 3 rhythms. If any of you guys want the OST(Official sound tracks), i have all 3 so its sharerable. My favourite characters are Arwen and Gimli. Reason: Gimli is like me, short and strong lol...ok thats a lie. Its cause he is a joker. I just like Arwen lah..no need to explain right?
Nows the holidays period, so guys if you've got nothing to do, give me a ring ring ok?
