Human CPU

August 30, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

The brain is a three-pound supercomputer. It is the command and control center of your body. I can imagine small little people running along your brain lines carrying out little tiny order scripts to different parts of your body to carry out the movement or reaction. It determines how thoughtful you are; how polite or how rude you are. It determines how well you think on your feet, and it is involved with how well you do at work and with your family.

So has anyone thought of how to increase your brain’s capacity or increase its efficiency? Please share your insights with me! You’ll make my life alot easier. Haha! Imagine having a SUPER-DUPER 100,000,000,000GB Brain RAM (Random Access Memory) installed in your head.

or……..

Are you like this?

Exams Soon! :\

Obviously can’t go into an exam with Homer’s brain :O

Come One, Come All

August 12, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

To start off.. I did not pick the name of the post, it just happened to be the song playing on my laptop.

Right now I’m trying to do some of my tutorial work for my classes tomorrow but, It’s safe to say that I’ve given up for one of my tutorials because I am so lost. The other one however is not too bad. The last couple days I’ve been working most mornings I usually stumble out of bed at 6am and walk up to work and every time I seem to get caught up in bad weather. Anyway on Tuesday and Thursday morning I was really amazed at how beautiful everything is when no-one is around and it’s semi dark and is dead quiet. At times like that I really do appreciate walking to work in the morning but most importantly the work God has created for us. I think in those 10 minutes I really do spend time with God and marvel at His creation.

May I also add it’s a bad idea to go to work early and expect to go to uni afterward for about 7 hours. After my shift on Tuesday I went to my classes despite the horrible weather I got to hour 3 of my day and was already suffering. I was falling asleep in my lecture and then would wake up after about 5 seconds (I had actually done that the day before but work up once really abruptly by jolting up straight). After that I actually left to catch up on some sleep. Anyway I should be getting back to work otherwise I’ll never get my work done.

Linda.. =D

Wrapping up a good holiday!

August 10, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Sorry for not updating my Queensland trip. It has been pretty insane the past few days. Right now, I’m on the plane back to Melbourne where Qyn and Sonja are making the kids sleep, Nick is snoozing and Gab is watching some videos. I’m pretty tired and tomorrow I have a group assignment tomorrow, which I have no idea what it is on about.

Day 5 at Queensland

Day 5 was a long day where Gab, Nick and I went to Movie World. Movie World had more of a “wow” factor where characters would come around the place compared to Dreamland. The rides were pretty crazy as well. I did all of it but one, which is the lethal weapon. Gab and Nick was trying to convince me to go on it but I it just look too crazy. Watch some pretty cool shows such as the Shrek 4D. Day 5 at Queensland ended at having a nice dinner at Hogs Breath.

Day 6 at Queensland

An intense Day 5 at Queensland resulted us to sleep in. The whole group decided to go back to Dreamland where Nick and Gab can finally ride the tower of terror. Turns out the ride were not good as it suppose to be. As for me, I hanged with Mika and Asher, which a lot better than riding a thriller ride. We also watch special shows such as the Tiger show where we saw how Tigers can jump pretty high even though they weight like 195 kg and even climb trees. Also checked out the show called “Slime” which gave me a lot of ideas that can be used for Fungus. Went to the water park after where it was an ok day to have a swim. Would be better if it was in the summer. There pretty cool rides such the Green Zone, Super Hydro and The wedge. The Wedge was a pretty scary ride. Pretty much you’re stuck in a tube. After that, the floor disappears and you’re going down a tube where water is splashing at your face. The day ended with everyone eating a pretty classy restaurant.

Day 7 at Queensland

The final day at Queensland was pretty much a relaxing day. Spent the day at the beach where most of us were just letting the sun bake us. Nothing really much happened as we ate a seafood store for dinner. After that, we went to the bar to watch the Community Shield between Man Utd and Chelsea. We all left at half time except Nick. That’s how Day 7 turned out.

In all honesty, I really wanted a break from everything. Things like from Uni, soccer, Fungus, Sunday school has really kept me busy for this year. After having a good break, I feel really re-energised and with all awesome shows from Movie World and Dreamworld, I feel that Fungus is going to be a lot different. First things first, I need a nap! Anyway, I do miss you guys and hope to see you soon even though could do another week at Gold Coast. Haha! That wraps up my Queensland trip. Hopefully I will be able to blog once a week and start doing some workouts. Til Next Time!

What a great holiday

August 8, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I last wrote. At the moment believe it or not I’m sitting on the warm beach of the Gold coast watching the waves as they hit the shore. It’s going to be a beautiful 22 degrees today although it feels like it’s already hit that. Really enjoying my time up here just relaxing a taking my own sweet time. Being able to run on the beach in the morning and doing my quiet time to the sound of the waves is pretty cool

I think if this trip has taught me anything is the value of family. I’m really blessed to have a great family. To be honest it’s been a fairy tough time on holidays with two young kids but there has been moments of sheer joy. My youngest kid, mika is growing up too fast! She is the most amazingly cheeky little girl. Often back in melb I don’t get to spend a stack of time with her because she’s either sleeping or hungry or I’m spending time with asher. This trip I’ve been so blessed to seeing her more. It seems small but I’m just finding that life is so short and if u don’t make the most of every situation you will find life passes by pretty fast.

It’s 8:50 here and I better get back. Have posted a pic of my view. The picture probably doesn’t do it justice. I’ve got plenty of news and really looking forward to see everyone again!

Heres and Theres

August 5, 2010 By admin 1 Comment

Hey guys, been intending to blog for a long time… just haven’t got around to it, and FINALLY i’m here!

Well, during our holidays, a couple of us fungus leaders who are studying met up for our monthly meetings, it was sort of an outing, and we decided to play taboo. As per norm, we split into two groups and the game went away. it started with Peter and followed with Kai, then Shaun, and it went all the way. I was the LAST person for our group, and all we needed was maintain the score to win. Sadly enough, I was ignorant and thought we could win with a bigger gap. That was by far, the dumbest thing I’ve done… EVER. So with the first word, i was thinking of the word to describe, fooolishly, i accidentally mentioned the TABOO word… from there, it just went worst, I couldn’t redeem my mistake, and instead, made it WORST! Sadly enough. we lost by ONE point. Hence, I am currently known as the worst taboo player in the team.

Having said that, We played taboo again during our Leaders Monthly meeting, and it was male leaders against female leaders. and typically, we played taboo according to the normal rules. Doing what we’re meant to do. THIS TIME! I didn’t do so bad, getting us 2 points! Besides that, I manage to guess the impossible word that Quentin was describing. He went from choir to the holiday after thanksgiving, to snow, to santa. And try guessing what the word was? JINGLE BELLS! AND i guessed it at the LAST SECOND! beat that! =) I would like to think i redeemed myself with that game.. =)

On a side note, I normally have labs on Monday. It was a pretty bad day, with everything going bad. And i couldn’t imagine it getting worst. Sadly enough, the demonstator was giving us a brief theory lesson on what would be happening. All of the sudden, the computer in front of me blows up with fire and smoke. and I was right infront of it! facing it! Man, that was the worst lab ever. And everyone was wondering what I did to it… Truth is, I didn’t touch it.. =( Labs went back to normal. And now, I have to get back to writing my report.

Till next time!

Chilling with some babies

August 5, 2010 By admin 1 Comment

After a good dinner, decided to play with the kids. Ever wonder how to get Asher to sit still? Well, I found out a way to do that. While i was taking care of Mika, Asher suddenly comes into our room, and wants to be on the bed. I put him on top and he starting jump around. With a baby in one hand, it was definitely hard to take care of the other. So i quickly showed a video and the video was an Altitude video where the song is called Hey Juliet. Asher was sitting still and watching the video! He has watched the vid at least 10 times. Gab and i are sick of the song already, don’t think i want to listen to this song for a while.

Asher focusing really hard on the video while Gab is studying. Video will be up on facebook! so keep an eye out!

Anyway, gonna go out soon!

Queensland Day 4

August 5, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Queensland day 4 turned out to be a pretty relaxing day. After all the excitement from Dreamworld made everyone tired especially Gabriel. We were meant to go to the waterpark today but turns out we missed the last bus as most of us slept in. I was pretty keen to go on the water slides rather than going on the thriller rides.

Plans were change, so we decided to eat KFC for lunch and head to beach. Today was the only day that was not suitable for beach in my opinion. Clouds were blocking the sun where I had to wear a jumper to stay warm. I refused to go to the water, as it was too cold, so I hanged with Asher instead. After while, I was somehow convince to go into the waters. It was freezing! But boarding was pretty fun. Manage to get on top of waves somehow. Pretty good for a first timer!

Headed back to hotel and took a 10 min rest. After that, the boys headed down to the pool so we can clean ourselves off from the sand. The pool was just a bit warmer from last time. It was a great time as we were swimming around and as well, I was teaching them how to swim.

Stayed in the pool for a while but we couldn’t hack the coldness so we decided to gym instead. I struggle with the upper bodywork but I realise that my lower bodywork is pretty good. I was doing weights at the bottom. I was pretty satisfied with the work out, but I know for sure that I’m going to be really sore.

Decided to eat in tonight so Sonja is cooking some thing really good! Just smelling is turning my stomach upside down. Anyway, I think we are going to Movie World tomorrow. Can’t wait to I get the thriller rides over and done with or maybe I might just pass the rides and shop around. Til tomorrow!

Queensland Day 3

August 4, 2010 By admin Leave a Comment

Let’s kick things off that I didn’t have the best sleep as I was petrified from the description of the rides. Dreamworld was the first theme park that we were going to. The ride that I told myself that I wasn’t going on the giant drop. 39 storeys high and just thinking about it still give me goosebumps.

The day start off with all of us waking up at 7am, yea I know its pretty early! Turns out that we left around 8:30! Could of gotten more sleep! Well, I caught up some more sleep on the bus. After some time, we arrived and dreamworld. The first thing I saw was the tallest ride there, The Giant Drop! As I said before, I told myself that I would not go on that ride. However, it turns out that I did! Which was my first ride as well! Seriously… the scariest ride ever! I really hate heights. After surviving the ride, it turns out Quentin didn’t record it! So that means I had to go again! Went on the other rides such as the Claw, wipe out. Pretty insane rides.

After a tiring day, went for a dinner buffet, which wasn’t that, great. Now I’m pretty much relaxing after a long tiring day and as well getting owned by the high schoolers. Even on holiday I still can get bagged. Anyway, the bagging has stopped for a while… I can kinda get some peace. White Water World should be awesome! Til tomorrow!

Queensland Day 2

Queensland day 2

Turns out that buffet breakfast had to set back for another day. 2 alarms rang but none of us could wake up. Today was a relaxing day for us where we scouting the area around and buying grocery stuff. Nick was struggling today as he was hungry after each meal.

After lunch, took some time to chillax athe pool which was super cold! Go on facebook and you could see a video of Gabriel pushing me into the freezing water. Today was my first day of an actual work out at the gym. Was pretty tiring. After all the intense work at the gym and sitting in the steam room, I headed back to the room and went for a nap.

Nap turned out to be a short nap as we headed out for dinner at Hardrock. Quentin was left babysitting which left Gabriel, Nick, Sonja and me to party it out! We thought it was ladies night tonight but turns out it was tomorrow. Nevertheless, I still had fun hanging with Sonja.

Tomorrow, we are heading a theme park. I’m pretty scared right now as high rides and me does not work. I rather gym the whole day then do a high ride. Hopefully it would be ok… I hope. Til Tomorrow!

Here are some pics that I took.
