Ok it's been 1 month

Yap....1 full month of not posting.... now I fianlly got my butt of and found sometime to actually post something here....

First of all, I'm not bitching, but don't any of you really think the layout of my blog sucks??? After re-thinking through the site layout, and considering certain factor I failed to consider before, I think it really does suck..... wow...and to call myself a web designer.... damn academia....

Alright now for the juicy stuff...I've decided to turn gay.....BULLSHIT!!! I am....that was just kidding...I just mucking around a little...
Seriously if anybody think I'm going to post anything about my already complicated and patatic love live, forget about it....it sucks just thinking about it....

Ok the past month was very busy...as some of you know, I've managed to pick up my 20th programming language and I stuck the jackpot this time, having already known C++ and Java, there is only one other programming language I can progress to and thats C#. I'm using C# combined with a bit of scripting for my games programming now, its pretty tough, but yah I'm managing well, hopefully....

Next big highlight...OCF... I've been to a lot of OCF activities lately, don't know why, but yah more than the usual, I seem to be not allowing the fact that I live in Ipswich stop me from traveling to the city ever so often. Ok so what has OCF been doing lately...Mei (our ex-president) has just left for home (home here means Singapore, not heaven), and yah we've had a change of leadership....Go Eunice!!! Just like finally getting down to writing this blog, I've finally gotten down to designing the OCF UQ website, I won't say its bad, just very out dated...and just to give a hit, its not going to be a standard HTML website, think director/flash, with a back end programming that is easy to update. I've been teaching in OCF as well or rather as usual, (here is a side track, my gift is NOT teaching, yet I'm able to teach well enough...why?) I've benn offered the chance to do the website for OCF Australia as well...now that is really overwhelming, I'll need sometime to think about that, but yah knowning me I'll most proberly end up doing it anyway.

OCF has orgainsed several outings lately...Mei's farewell party...which I must highlight was fun, also because of the fact my team (Eunice and Ken) won in carnium (some aussie IQ game, hei we're smart ok!). We had the "River Fire" 30 minutes of non-stop fire works in sync with music which was down at the Brisbane river....step aside NDP, Aaron and Michelle's 6th annversary of being together...yes 6th, they've been together for 6 years...no their not married yet, but 6 years...thats a lot man. The longest relationship I've had was 6 months I think...I've also stepped up and volunteered myself to either lead song or be a musician for OCF, yes guys (for those of you back home), my guitar is finally coming to Australia. The only sad thing is...its not the S&P one, there is enough trouble bringing a wooden artical into Australia and I'm not risking $700 on that.

My studies have been going rather well as of late, my "High distingtion drought" is finally over, and I've got a gut feeling I might have gotten 3 out of 3 high distingtions for the first assignment of all 3 modules....when I take a step back and think, could thing be God way of saying..."Don't worry, just pressing on and serve..I'll take care of the rest"...

Shit loads of no fun

First week into Uni and guess, what..... I'VE GOT AN ASSIGNMENT DUE the FOLLOWING WEEK!!!!! how fun is that....

That sucks man, just when you're kranking up and tryingto get started, some one just comes along and give you a major jump start to begin with...#$^#%&$

And yes Daniel comes up with the most interesting of all projects every year, from filming to Director coding, to goodness knows what I'm going to be doing from now on.
This sem is not different, I'll be jumping into a major project. A fully playable 3D game, targeted for the PS3 and Nintendo Wii platform, yes sound fun and huge, but there gonna be a lot of coding involved here, and I can't imagine myself doing that.....(dosen't mean you're good at it means you like doing it) So for those of you who hear or knew of me doing research during the holiday, well, this is what I'm researching for a major 18month assignment.

Enough for work, it seems that everytime I got on a blog I'll have something to bitch about, which is of course interesting, but come to think of it, is there really so much to bitch about, I mean apart from the fact I'm a singaporean and Singaporean generally do bitch about quite a lot (not to mention our neighbours). Is there really that much stuff????

Not a good feeling

Its not a good feeling, why? its not a good feeling to be back here and leaving so many things done half way back home.
Can't believe it, there is just so much more I wanted to do and so little time..why so? I have no idea either, maybe somethings are just meant to be...I guess sometimes on all control things are just meant to unfold by itself...."Those who try to control all will end up loosing it, but those who loose it will eventually gain control".....(where did I get this from and what am I talking about? anybody know the context?)

Ok I've been keeping this in me now for week and I think its about time I let it out...

SOME people are real DIC-HEADS, I don't believe, have anyone been reading my MSN nicks the past few weeks? I'll re-type them out here....
1. Maturity is measured not by the way you behave, but by the decision you make in life.
2. If you can't take hard criticism don't bother being a leader

Firstly I'll like to stress the point that I'm proud of that fact that I dare to speak my mind in a sociaty where most people just lack the BALLS to say what they actually mean.
when someone say you SUCK, don't chase that person down and start accussing that person of being insensitivity don't go hard on that person....why? cause he/she might be right...more so here thw question would be do you have the gust to walk up to that person and say "Tell me why do I suck?" I mean obviously there is a reason why that comment was made.
SO why focus on the comment when that is not the main point? Won't it be more productive if you ask the person the reason and try to find out about it? Won't that put you one step closer to solving the problem?
Basically 2 thing can be in your mind, and the choice is obviously your's, you can choose to focus on the problem or look beyound the problem and find the solution.
Well if you feel the childish need to have the final say in the argument than I truely feel sorry for you.

Point here is I'm not trying to make myself an excuse to slam someone, point here is I'm trying to say people often focus on the wrong things. Look at failure, you can either try to cry about the fact that you failed or you can pick yourself up.

I onced ask someone this question..."Why do we fall?" Falling seems to be a very useless thing, and it dosen't help in most cases in fact you get hurt most of the time, but there is some use to it. Why do we fall?....it must happen for a reason...in fact ta simple reason....

"We fall in order to learn how to pick ourselves up."

For A Friend

If a brother weeps, I shall weep with him

For we shall love and share each other’s joy and pain

But if a brother grows closer to God, I shall have the Angels sing “Hallelujah, Glory, Glory to our Lord God almighty”

For He has chosen to revile Himself to us.

Sem end summary

This is the end of semester summary of my blog yes I know , I have not updated this blog for ages...but yes, now I'm updating it...

Q: Daniel Why haven't you blogged in such a long time?
A: Corrections, I did blog, just that I wasen't doing personal blogging, I was doing research blogging, so if any of you are interested in reading my research on Robotics and QTVR, please read the blogs on s4084487.blogspot.com and s4084487-studio5.blogspot.com

As most of you have heard this was a very busy semester for me, I had tones of research to do and stuff. Amazingly this was the sem of duels for me...why is it so...
Both the projects that I was doing were the only projects on the whole cohort that have 2 groups doing it, so yes, there was some competition in it.
However in the end, both my groups toasted the other groups...great work team.

Apart from that, I've been busy serving on OCF and Church. Doing what? well, what else can I do? Sound and leading BS.

Now comes the end of my holiday, I guess I've been too busy going out and playing games, to settle down and get stuff done. 1 month is a very short time, and sometimes it just flies past you without even noticing it.
