I might not be the most ingenius tech person alive. But I don’t think it takes a genius to figure this out.

ThunderBolt is rated at 10Gbps. Said to be the fastest external I/O connectivity available.

SATA is only rated 3Gbps, at most 6Gbps (which btw, is usually never reached).

So which genius figured out that connecting external hard drives via ThunderBolt is like the best thing ever? You’ll still only get 3Gbps no? Unless you RAID it of course.

Soo…. What’s the big hype about this new 10Gbps ThunderBolt thing that is said to be able to transfer a HD movie file in 30secs.

Or am I missing a whole big chunk of information here. Hmm….

If anyone were smart enough, he/she will know where to find me.

The response to a phone call, says a lot about the r/s between the 2 parties.

So many thoughts and reflections right about now. Most of which would require time to pen down, which I’m sorely lacking sleep, much less pen down thoughts.

And there are those thoughts that are best kept private.

Overall, might have been reading too much into a single brief moment, just maybe. Or if it was really true, then how? Sigh.

It’s that time of the year again.

Okay well, technically it’s Day 2 since there were rehearsal on Friday night, so that’s considered Day 1/Night 1 I suppose?

Anyhow, am quite brain dead. To a point where I mixed up Starhub and Starbucks (totally different industry and products I know). But similar names no?

Am involved for Valentine’s Day Drama 2011 in TVM. How wonderful is that? First time directing for drama! Quite an interesting experience really. Minus the late lights and early mornings that we have to spend rehearsal and setting up equipment (which frankly I have no qualms about), it’s really awesome. To have crew sacrifice their time to do something that in turn impacts the congregation and the Internet viewers.

So lets see, so far… Friday night’s rehearsal ended at about 2am. Next morning had to report at 8am! That calls for some Starbucks no? And in the new tumbler that I recently bought, which half the people fell for as a real Nikkor 70-200 lens. Lol. Gonna try tmr by throwing it at someone and watch them FREAK OUT trying to catch a supposedly $2K lens. Wahaha.

Okay. Then a couple of rehearsals in Expo in the morning, then rush down to JW with AD (Karen) and Chorus Board ladies (Joanna and Trina). Then another dry run there.. Actual show for svc 1. Then immediately rush down to Expo from JW. And did drama for svc 2 again.

It’s quite awesome really. The adrenaline is quite addictive. Well the rushing from one end of the island to the other is not really a new thing, but having to do it from time to time is really REALLY fun. For some reason. LOL.

And looking at all the drama crew and cast on Friday night. Most of whom had just finished work or school. Even the sound, lighting, TV and Chorus Board folks who were there, it shows the dedication that all of us have in putting a great drama together, whether big or small.

It basically shows how much these people care about the congregation, to want to impact them and their families and new friends, as well as the millions of Internet viewers around the world. The love that we have for every single one of them, it’s just indescribable. Everyone wants to do something better, to have an input to make it look and feel and sound better. Not just some small drama that we had to JUST put together. But it require the efforts of so many people.

I’m glad, proud and honored to be part of the team, of Valentines’s Day Drama 2011.

Another 2 shows to go.

Went down to the SAF film unit today for a one-day crash course of the Video Production Course. Really feels good to be in a different environment, especially one where people actually speak in the lingo that you’re used to listening to.

Fought Z monster though, and we all know, when the Z monster comes, there’s no way to deflect it. Bummer. Haha. But not like it makes a difference though.

Anyhow, the culture is different too. There’s OCS on one side, where the poor cadets are shouting their lungs off while doing early morning route march, like recruits. Feel sad for them man. Then there’s CLME where I was at. Very different culture and attitudes. And they have awesome editing suites as well. Brand spanking new ones for that matter. Ahem.. 12-core Mac Pro. Ahem. Bummer. Mine’s only 8. But works wonderfully as it is. Haha.

Anyhow, mind’s drifiting off to sleep already. Hoping for Universal Studios on 21st and/or 22nd. Haha. That’ll be awesome.

Let’s try that experiment this year again shall I…..

And perhaps it’s about time I wrote down my wish list too! How awesome is that.

I figured, that maybe if I were to write more on this page without withdrawing from whether people are actually viewing it or not, there might actually be more content of my life being poured into this electronic place.

Not that I keep a paper diary of sorts, but at some point in time I did write on another blog, a password-protected one. But that blog also went dead because of the changes in my life. There were loopholes in that system to say the least. Trust and doubt was the main issue I suppose.

So for the most part of the time when I’m not blogging, I’ve been blogging in my mind, or “blogging” with God. Having chats with Him were, and still is, comforting.

So yeah, some what of a a revelation from a close friend, I was reminded that WordPress does have a feature where you can password protect selected entries. Now why didn’t I think of that. So now I could just focus on digitizing all my brain matter, all in one place. Here.

Sometimes when I read blogs, it amazed me how little someone can say, but it means a lot. I really admire the power of language in that sense. Poems, songs. So much underlying meanings to them. Frankly, am still struggling with trying to pick up productivity every since GKS’s grand idea kicked into my life, not that I have a choice for that matter.

Past couple of weeks, mostly the weekends, have been wonderful. Always appreciate the great company that God has blessed me with. Every single day, I always thank God for the few people in my life that I truly appreciate with all of my heart. Because of the things that they have done for me, however insignificant it might be, I truly appreciate it.

.

Now I’m just wondering, will anyone actually remember. Did that “social experiment” thing last year, but the results were kinda woozy. And also, have a great idea of how to spend the day, preferably with chosen friends, oh dreams are so great.

Though there’s always the fears. Overcoming is a mad thought when you have no idea what’s on the other side, especially when you’re so comfy with the current side right now. I need guidance. And if the horoscope thingy (which for a long time I’ve been treating as a “coincidence where possible”), at SG Flyer is true, then God just guide me. If it isn’t already glaring out in the open for all to see already?

Or perhaps this is the way guys and girls are wired individually, still trying to make sense of it all. But God has His timings, and by experience, they are always at the right time, at the most awesomeness of times. But the process of awaiting those timings are sometimes, in extreme cases, excruciatingly annoyingly painful to wait.

For what it’s worth, “no one puts new wine in old wineskin”. Mentioned 4 times in the Bible. Must mean something doesn’t it. Obvious enough no?

Faith, Love, Hope. Oh God bless my English too.

About time I did some updates. But what’s an update without a couple of photos right. So, I’ll take the effort to post them. LOL.

Ehhh, just came back from Msia about 24hrs ago. And of all routes that could get flooded, the exact route that I was taking to Kuantan was the one that got reported in the papers. The one that passes through the towns of Labis, Chaah and Segamat. Flooded, blocked roads, no electricity etc etc.

Thankfully, when we were travelling just a day after the reported flood, it had already subsided so that traffic could get through. However, traveling through Segamat town was like traveling on a mission trip. Not that I have any experience as yet, but seems like it. Everyone is clearing up flood waters, damaged furniture. Pizza Hut was seen doing a massive clean up, so was KFC and McDonalds. See, big corporations like this have funding to do that. So that when they’re finally cleaned up 2 days later, they’re the only eateries open in town. Which is, sad to say, true. Before that, the WHOLE of Segamat was practically a ghost town.

Of course, there’s always the local food if you can find one that’s open.

Nasi Lemak with Rendang Chicken. Which is, DIFFERENT in every town. From Yong Peng, to Segamat, to Kuantan, all have different taste, looks, and color.

And then there’s some of their interesting signage and english. There’s always the famous 3 letter number plates that can mean all sorts of things. But there’s more to that… Like, on a menu…

Stop what? Pass GO get $2000?

And for all 370KM of the route, survived with just one cuppa.

If there’s one thing I like about Starbucks, is their standardization of having their employees understand basic English at every single store. You can be some English dude, walk into a Starbucks in the middle of Chengdu, speak your own accent, and they’ll understand what drink you want.

Of course their English sounds funny, from China to Msia etc, but at least, they get your order right.

Oh come on, don’t say I’m an ass for speaking English when I know well to speak either in Mandarin in China or Malay in Malaysia. I mean seriously, how would you say Grande Caramel Macchiato in anything other than English? So heck, one English, all English. Give them a bit of practice anyway why don’t you.

Yay I finally got the time to dump out another old worship song from church. These songs always never fail to brighten the mood.
