I’d just like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

May everyone be reminded of the day that salvation came into our lives and tore down the barriers between man and God.

And no, it’s really not about Santa Clause, shopping and getting pissed hehe. Although the spirit of giving is indeed biblical.

Argh, 7.30am start tomorrow. Playing for church. Wish me luck in waking up!

Did anyone else get this? How annoying. They reset all my notification settings and now I’m spammed with Facebook notifications in my email. Grr! Facebook fail.

And this also happened just after Steph & Eric’s wedding which you can imagine all the photos being uploaded and comments being said. Facebook spam for the win.

I usually get pretty funny spam emails at work or spam comments caught by Wordpress’ Akismet, but I must say this is the dumbest spam I’ve ever seen from a spammer.

Yeah sure mate, I’ll just email you to unsubscribe from your spam mailing list. Mmm mmmmm…spam.

Funny how majority of spam involves mens insecurity about their penis sizes. These include viagra, pharmaceutical drugs, penis enlargement, random horny girls who want your photos and get rich schemes.

I guess in some ways, spam is a reflection of what society places priority on. There’s some truth to that.

Yes, that’s the name of my sister’s optometry ball at university. Me and a bunch of guys from church are going to be playing music there tomorrow night. Songs included are Stars by Switchfoot, Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson, Shiver by Maroon5 and so on.

Hopefully I’ll have pictures to post up hopefully by Sunday night.

Pretty hectic weekend though as tomorrow will be pretty much taken up by practice, setting up, playing and packing up. Might head to the gym if I do wake up early enough (it is 2.45am now :S). Then on Sunday I’ll be playing for church which means I got to wake up at 7am.

Then it starts all over again on Monday. Work work…

So yeah, I haven’t been doing much blogging recently. Been busy meeting up with people, gyming and practicing to play at my sister’s university ball.

On top of that, I might start doing some Joomla web development for some clients and even look into doing some e-commerce for myself. Also I want to work on more javascript widgets that will be cool to use.

I’ve added a contact page for people who wish to contact me. I’m using cforms plugin which seems to be pretty advanced in functionality, but also a bit hard to use. Takes a bit of reading.

So many things to do, so little time.

8 Praise our God, O peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;

9 he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.

10 For you, O God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.

11 You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.

12 You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings
and fulfill my vows to you-

14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
when I was in trouble.

15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
and an offering of rams;
I will offer bulls and goats.
Selah

16 Come and listen, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.

17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.

18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;

19 but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.

20 Praise be to God,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!

- Psalm 68:8-20, Biblegateway

I’m so lucky. My company bought a couple of Quad core computers with 2gb ram for the new starters coming in. One is starting in a couple of weeks and another is coming back from holidays in a week.

So I took the opportunity to pinch the new systems and give them my old Pentium D.

It’s never felt so fast with Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Outlook, Firefox, Excel and Word open all at the same time! What an adrenalin rush :D Makes working in the office enjoyable.

Have you ever experienced your lunch being stolen by someone in your office?

Well I have today. Although I had lunch at a Japanese restaurant with two of my colleagues, when I came back I discovered that my pasta I brought from home was gone from the fridge!

I searched high and low, far and wide until I discovered my plastic bag that had my lunch in it was above the microwave.

What amazes me is that I can’t believe would actually eat someone else’s lunch out of a communal fridge. I’m not angry at the fact that my lunch got stolen. Heck, I already had lunch. But just the concept of it eaten by someone from the office is startling.

You see, my office not only houses the company I work for, but also five other companies. They’re all owned by the same parent company. So no, I’m pretty sure it wasn’t my colleagues but some random from the other companies.

Or perhaps it was a honest mistake. But I doubt it.

Oh well.

Facebook\'s New Feature

I don’t get it. What’s the new feature?

I’ve clicked on it like several times. Seems pretty much the same to me.

Heard some negative feedbacks on it though. Perhaps people like the old design.

But that’s a pretty dumb observation. Of course some people will like the old design.

Oh well.

I’ve just signed up to some life, income protection, and terminal permanent disability (TPD) insurance with AIG.

While filling out the forms, there was a section that asks who is your current doctor and when was the last consultation. It also asks what was the consultation about and what was the outcome of it.

Now I had trouble filling in this section of the form. You see, I honestly can’t remember the last time I went to see a doctor. So I told the insurance dude the truth. I can’t remember seeing a doctor for the past 10 years or so, maybe even longer.

He gave me a blank stare as though I’ve just blasphemed against God and the world is coming to an end, where darkness turns to day, mountains come crumbling down and the waves of the ocean crash against the rocky shore, destroying everything in sight.

So he offered suggestions in hopes of helping me remember. Flu? Cold? Fever?

Nope, nope and nope.

If I have a flu, cold or fever, I drink lots of water and stay at home and rest. That’s what the doctor will tell you anyways. Perhaps even prescribe you Panadol “medication” or antibiotics. But eventually they’ll tell you to drink lots of fluids and rest anyway.

Perhaps I should go see a doctor the next time I break a nail or prick my finger. Then will I have some credible medical records when requested upon.

I’ve recently joined Fitness First Rockdale in hopes of returning to my exercise routine which has been non-existent for the past 6 months, ever since I got back from my holiday and started full time work.

Despite all the warnings and cautions I’ve received from other peopl with regards to joining Fitness First, I still went ahead because of its convenience where you can access Fitness First facilities worldwide and pool facilities that can be found at the Rockdale branch.

My main let down is that it took almost 4 weeks for me to receive my starter pack. But that isn’t the main concern really. The main concern is that whenever I asked whether there was stock, each employee would give me a different excuse saying that stock was unavailable so just wait, stock is in the store room but they don’t have the keys, stock is coming in next week and so on.

So I suppose you’d get the feeling you’re being lied to. It isn’t that unreasonable if they just said that stock is being ordered and will be available within a month or so instead of making up stories.

Another annoying thing about Fitness First Rockdale is that in the weights section, you can never find the free weights in order or on the benches. It is always scattered all over the floor. Not only is this an OH&S issue, sometimes I’ll have to go looking for it all over the place. And yes, I’ve tripped slightly over them a couple of times already.

The conditions of the free weights aren’t very good as well as people don’t really give a rat’s ass and just keep dropping the weights on the floor. Oh yes, after using it, they just leave it there too and not put it back to the rightful place.

Also one of the main reasons why I joined is because I was promised a free 3 week membership and guess what? I got charged after 2 weeks. So I went to make a complaint only to find out that all their sales consultants leave at 7pm. Well, I get off work at 6pm and probably won’t get there by 7pm. Doesn’t really help does it?

So I make a complaint online only to receive this auto responder message,

Thank you for your feedback. Your form has been forwarded to the Fitness First Customer Service Centre. A representative will be in contact with you shortly.

So far no news from them.

Despite all my rantings, the facilities are ok overall but definitely not the best Fitness First branch I’ve been to, nationally and internationally.

Pretty disappointing.
