pollution. we are like frogs in warm water.

January 29, 2008

Hmmm… there is this heavy heavy rain today and it prompted me to wash my car while it last. brrr…. bad decision.. >_<
anyway, thats not the focus of this blog. :)

 I was taking the ferry to school this morning, when I took a quick look outside. The rain has stopped, the air was fresh and cool. I realised that the landscape is SO MUCH clearer than usual, I did not realise that the world is so clear and crisp. It then seemed to me that everything is so clear now only because the rain has cleaned up the air of dust. So sad that we all got so used to the everyday pollution. >_<

Just like frogs in a pot of water, not realising that the water is getting hot because it is being heated slowly. Althought we are still amongst the cleaner country, least we forget that we are still in a bad shape.

 (Cont…)

Hey! Which reminded me of this song. I have shared it before in one of my previous blogs. but It is so good, that bringing it up a thousand times is never too much. Listen to the lyrics! and understand what it is trying to tell us!

 One of the comments which I find very meaningful. Sums up what this song is about.

“What Julian is saying in this song is that man has accomplished so many monumental things and we’re so proud of them (space travel, our society, industrial & civilization improvements) but we manage to forget some important issues to all mankind like poverty, starvation, pollution etc. “

 

Timmy and Tammy

Cats… did I mentioned cats?
hehe. ok. We bought 2 cats.

It all Begin when my gf made me angry.
To revenge, I brought her to all the puppy shops I can find that weekend.
I know that will antagonise her because she loves dogs but … our rental place do not permit a dog… hehe.

unfortunately… heaven forbids… she decided to get a cat instead (our rental allow cats)… so.. she “counter-revenged” by pestering me 24/7 for a cat. Well.. she got what she wanted. Then that’s where my stupid mouth moves… I started talking about how lonely will the cat be and how boring if no one plays with him… so ….

Moral of the story.. never take revenge on your close ones… especially girlfriend

Uninstalling Orcas

January 18, 2008

Hmm… I don’t think many people had this trouble as I can only find one instance of this error on the web.

 Anyway, I had trouble uninstalling my Visual studio Orcas (required for VS2008) and replacing it with VS 2008.

There is a strange “Error 1324: the folder path ‘VS Tools for Office’ contains an invalid character. ” which I cannot resolve. I removed VS tools and programming support in all my office application but it does not work. I removed all folders relating to VS tools for Office too but … well..

Anyway, after doing the “correct” way. I decide to look into the dark alley of unscrupulous removal of Orcas. >_<
Not recommended but desperate measures. Here is the magic tool which solved my problem. Have a look at it and use your imagination! hehe. see –>
