Drive Thumb

I do not want to sound like an alarmist but I believe a lot of office folks are unaware of the dangers of using the innocent looking thumb-drive.

How often do you hear this dialogue in school or in the office?

"Hey, i didn't bring my laptop. But my slides are in my thumbdrive. Lets' plug & play in your computer to present"

"Hey, im lazy to email the files to you. Here you go, copy it from my thumb drive"

"Hey, I got something to print from my thumbdrive. Let me use your computer to print."

Just recently, there have been a few incidents where computers in my office were infected by GRL's thumbdrives. They would pop into the office and demand the staff plug it into their computers to print some documents for them. Hidden in the thumbdrives are trojan horses of all sorts. Our computer's antivirus did a good job in sweeping the trojans. (I think so).

Anyway, my message to you is: When someone insists that you plug in their thumb drive; be firm and state that you would like to scan their thumbdrive 1st before opening the files. Stress to them that your computer contains a lot of important information and hence the need to scan their thumbdrive.

Spending that extra 2-3 minutes will help save you from the trauma of losing your data. Also imagine the embarassment your colleague will face when their thumbdrive is found to be infected.

No clues on how to scan a thumbdrive? Call your company's computer helpline tomorrow.

Ear Wax

Today my ears were itchy. It must be the ear wax in my ear hole. It's been a long while since i dug my ears with say cotton buds. I believe most people do that with the cotton buds. The most agonizing discovery today was that i ran out of cotton buds.

I just wonder what will happen if i just simply do away with the cotton buds. Will the ear wax just grow like grass and cover the entire earhole? Will this lead to hearing loss?

Actually if you haven't realized it by now, perhaps you should be grateful how GOD structured our ear holes. You see there is a natural drainage curvature in your ear hole canal. As ear wax accumulates, it is disposed when we move our jaws to chew on food. The chewing motion from the jaws will vibrate and shatter the ear wax into mini bits to be disposed naturally. The ear wax will fall out of our ear hole without you realizing it.

Such a simple and efficient natural cleaning mechanism. The next time, someone takes a dig at you for not hearing instructions clearly, e.g. "Hi Go dig your freaking ears!!!" ;

You can reply the person with the finger and retort, "Hey mother****er, God did that already. My hearing is ok. Just that your explanation sucks. Use proper english"

Anyway, if you have seen enough movies, you will realize that somehow the female protagonist likes to pull the male protagonist's ears especially if they are playing the couple role. Why do ladies like to pull their guy's ears?. Ladies, do not assume men are poor listeners. At least i am not. :p

While we are on the topic of hearing; you will probably hear this cliche movie dialogue in most action movies:

(A & B engage in a rescue / treasure hunting mission, then A has some hidden stories, while the companion B is very interested in probing the story) The dialogue usually is like this:
A: "Oh well, that is a long story"
B: "Well, we have a long walk. I want to hear it"

Oh well, the point that i want to bring across is simple: God ensures your ears are never clogged with ear wax so it is only a matter of your will if you want to receive the gospels. In addition, regardless of how badly you have sinned, how traumatized you are, how self-condeming you are, Jesus will always bend down and address to you, "My dear child, we have a LONG WALK. I want to hear it"

I believe if you feel this empty void in your heart i.e. you have everything but feels that you still lack something, then i recomend you to spend sometime and visit a church. Just pour your hearts out and confide to Jesus. Talk to him like you talk to your best friends. Visit a church with an open heart. It doesn't hurt to hear more. Most people resist going to church because they fear that they will be brain-washed by some deviant angry pastors. I assure you this fear is good. It keeps you on your toes to weed out lousy pastors. By all means, enter the church with this fear. Listen to the sermon,if it brings you peace and liberation, then there is no harm in embracing it. If you feel intimidated, leave. You are not obligated to stay throughout the service. But, i believe Abba will lead you to the right church. If you are willing, just close your eyes and do a simple prayer, "Dear abba (hebrew word for God, it's used on a intimate team, like hw you greet your father as Ah pa ), guide me to the right church in your honour and glory".

Mind Boggling Questions

There are some questions on Earth that when it is asked, the audience will be in a dilemma and will take great strength to answer it.For e.g., "if your spouse and your mother-in-law were to both fall into the sea, who will you save 1st?" Now this is a classic question.

Or how do you explain the extraordinary change in greeting one another in a relationship when it progresses from "dear/honey"(in courtship) to "sugar baby/xiao3 tian1 tian1"(near proposal stage) to "Oei" (after marriage) and ultimately "Oei Lao3 Za1 Bor4"(after the woman bore the man children). How about, "Do you live to eat or eat to live?". A very hard question considering the temptation from good food.

Or how about, "Do you believe in God?". If yes, then "Do you believe that there are multiple Gods or just one God exists?"Or this annoying question, "Why do you think you are born into this world?" How about "Can women live without men? and vice versa?"

Or how about the following 2 questions:................

How precious is your heart?

Assume you are able to place a price tag on everything, how much do you think you are worth in dollars and cents?

Now my fucking question to your questions is why bother? You are still alive arent you? There is still at least one person who care/misses you/loves you on this Earth. You are still alive to read this blog at this moment. You are still breathing. You are still able to make a difference, be it how futile or insignificant the change might be. You are still able to eat, sleep and pee/shit.

What a silly blog entry you might say. Yeah thats why it is mind-boggling.
