Just finished watching Rio…
The title refers to the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro, in which the film is set.
When i was younger, i saw a statue, but only recently found out it’s located in Rio de Janeiro and it’s called “Christ the Redeemer”.
But i never knew the view would be quite nice
But after i visit it, not sure what to do next…
I’ll add it to my “to visit” list? :p
I’ve been feeling abit drained lately…
I’ve been helping people with their problems lately, but i wonder if they’re just using me…
It disgusts me when I find out that people are only being nice to you because they want something from you, or only because they want something out of one of your super-close friends. And shortly after they realise they got what they needed at the point of time, the flee aside, and only rejoin back once they need you again. Or even worse, when they decide that there isn’t any more use of you.
Day 03: Eight things that annoy you.
I just wonder if they’re using me, but then again, isn’t that what human nature/relationships/etc are about?
If nobody needed anyone else, we’ll all be alone, but as soon as someone needs something, they’re all friendly/kind/etc about it?
Eg, someone comes up to me and starts talking to me (well, they are trying to be friendly to me, aren’t they?), awhile later, they end up having computer problems. As soon as i fix it, i don’t hear from them again… (Because i’m too lazy to put effort into it and they don’t need me anymore), so yeah…
But i’m tired of carrying other people’s burdens…
Not just 1 person, but lots of people’s burdens and/or expectations…
A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?”
Answers called out ranged from 8 ounces to 20 ounces.
The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance.
“In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.
“As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.
“So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don’t carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you’re carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.
“Relax; pick them up later after you’ve rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!”
I just want to drop it all, since i’m too tired of this [maybe insert a bad word here?]…
I don’t care if you hate me, eg:
Her (14:56): um……i still hate u so how can i be more offended if i already hate u so much?
Her (14:57): really? didnt notice it must just cause i hate u so much
1st day of full time work :p
Or just use me, but i’m too tired of playing along (and i’ll just burn more bridges so i’ll have less to maintain…)
Wait for Day 24 (24th June 2011), at least not many people will be there? :p
As for my relationship issues…
8 Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do.
1 Corinthians 7:8
27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife.
1 Corinthians 7:27
As well as:
30 At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Matthew 22:3025 When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Mark 12:2535 But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, 36 and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.
Luke 20:35-36
But then again, the above only applies as long as i have my faith…
I’m swimming in the smoke
Of bridges I have burned
So don’t apologize
I’m losing what I don’t deserve
What I don’t deserve
I’ll do this later…
Remind me…
Maybe the last song i post tonight
| 広がる闇の中 交わし合った 革命の契り 愛した故に芽生えた悪の花 これから先訪れるであろう全てを 誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかないから |
We exchange promises of revolution in the growing darkness. I loved you, so the flower of evil sprouted I won’t let anyone interfere with Everything that is to come in the future |
| 果実が告げた未来 理性を忘れた街 黒く歪んだ現在を 夢、理想に変える |
A fruit has told me the future This city that has forgotten reason These black times will turn Into dreams, into ideals |
| どうして? 僕はこわれた救世主? 誰もが望んだ「終幕」を… |
Why? Am I a broken Messiah? Everyone wished for a “finale”… |
| 広がる闇の中 交わし合った 革命の契り 愛した故に芽生えた悪の花 これから先訪れるであろう全てを 誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない |
We exchanged promises of revolution in the growing darkness. I loved you, so the flower of evil sprouted I won’t let anyone interfere with Everything that is to come in the future |
| いつか僕が見せてあげる 光り輝く空を |
Someday, I’ll show you A shining sky |
| どうして? 僕はこわれた救世主? 誰もが夢みた「楽園」を… |
Why? Am I a broken Messiah? Everyone dreamt of a “paradise”… |
| 広がる闇の中 交わし合った 革命の契り 愛した故に芽生えた悪の花 これから先訪れるであろう全てを 誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない |
We exchanged promises of revolution in the growing darkness I loved you, so the flower of evil sprouted I won’t let anyone interfere with Everything that is to come in the future |
| いつか僕が見せてあげる 光り輝く世界を |
Someday, I’ll show you A shining world |
The below lyrics are what i have in my iTunes, decide which one you like :p
Within the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
Because I canft let anyone interfere
With everything thatfll come about from now onThe future that the fruit told me of
The city that has forgotten reasoning
The present is distorted black
Dreams, turn into idealsWhy? Am I a broken Messiah?
Everyone wished for a gfinalehcWithin the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
I canft let anyone interfere
With everything thatfll come about from now on
Someday, Ifll show you a shining skyWhy? Am I a broken Messiah?
Everyone dreamt of a gparadisehcWithin the spreading darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower that sprouted because it was loved
I canft let anyone interfere
With everything thatfll come about from now on
Someday, Ifll show you a shining world
Another one of the songs i listen to:
| 流れる時間の中瞬く刹那的煌きを この世の記憶に刻むため 歩き続けるBeliever |
A momentary sparkle twinkles within the flowing time I’m a Believer who can keep walking so to engrave into this world’s memories |
| 誰にも見れないユメを見て 要らないものは全て捨てた ゆずれない想い この胸に宿して |
I had a dream that no one else could have And I threw away everything that I didn’t need Thoughts that I can’t surrender dwell in my chest |
| まだリアルイデアルの狭間にいて 犠牲の枷に足をとられても 溢れる衝動押さえきれない 強く求める心があるから |
And if I’m still in the rift between reality and ideals Even if my feet fall victim to shackles of sacrifice My overflowing impulse isn’t fully repressed Because I have a heart that yearns powerfully |
| この街中溢れるモノにまみれ うつつを抜かすようなことは無い 未来へと繋がる道の果てで この手に掴むものを見たいから |
Things like being smeared by those who overflow in this entire city or being infatuated won’t happen to me Because at the end of the road that connects to the future, I want to see something that’ll grab onto my hand |
| 瞼を閉じ意識の海に浮かんで 思い描く 理想を手にするそのときを | I close my eyes and it surfaces in my sea of consciousness: the moment when I’ll get the ideal that I’d pictured |
| 限りある「生」をこの世に受け 枯れゆくだけは愚かに等しい 他の誰もが持ち得ないもの 「自分自身」という名の結晶へ |
To merely receive limited “life” in this world And rot away is equal to being stupid Go toward that which no one else can have- the crystal known as “myself” |
| キレイゴトを突き通すこと いつか誠へ変わる 頑に信じ続けたい It’s just my faith. The absolute truth. |
Piercing through the whitewash will turn into the truth someday I want to keep believing in it stubbornly; It’s just my faith. The absolute truth. |
| 流れる時間の中瞬く刹那的煌きを この世の記憶に刻むため 歩き続けるBeliever |
A momentary sparkle twinkles within the flowing time I’m a Believer who can keep walking so to engrave into this world’s memories |
There are other translations as well, such as the below
I’ll do this later…
Remind me…
Updated this after 19th of June (If you’re viewing this on the 15th of June, this is a schedule post that i updated after scheduling the 19th of June post :p)
Owl City – The Saltwater Room:
But the version on youtube is different than the one i uploaded…
Anyways, i set this song as my ringtone…
I’ll do this later…
Remind me…
Guilty pleasure?
Due to the lyrics, click below to listen?
Continue reading day 13 – a song that is a guilty pleasure
I’ll do this later…
Remind me…
Slightly annoyed…
I wrote this post in Windows Live Writer before it crashed
And yes, i forgot to save it…
Another week, another week of issues…
But yesterday, my colleague/friend took me to Zen Hot Yoga.
Anyways, another problem at work is like a MYOB program, which reminds me of a memory.
It was either in KL (i think), i was sitting in the back seat of the car and my dad and uncle was talking about an account program MYOB. I asked them what it meant and the reply i got was “Mind Your Own Business”. I was slightly shocked, but then they explained it to me 😀
Back to MYOB, the network most companies are using is like this:
Anyways, i hope to get Terminal Services up and running so it’ll be more like the model on the right:
Normally, Terminal Services runs on Windows Server 2003/2008/etc, but i plan to make one using Windows 7 and VPC. And if that doesn’t work, Windows 7 Pro + Remote Desktop Services. And worst case scenario, get rid of Windows 7 and install Windows XP Pro. (Wow, this slightly gets complicated…)
Or maybe i’ll call MYOB and discuss with them possible ways of making this work? :S
But those are the only things i can think of at the moment…
Other than implementing these large changes.
Other smaller changes that i can try first:
