Kids Thoughts

As I watch my niece - who is six years old - the way she talks, and listens to "grown ups" and tries to learn from us - the grown ups amazes me. It also scares the hell out of me too. Because whatever we say they take it literally to heart. Kids at age 6 or younger don't know yet how stupidly gross and empty some grown ups mind can be. I hope and pray to Almighty God that when I become a parent, HE shows me the right ways, HIS ways to raise my kids. I would also like my kids to grow up in a place where they'll be surrounded by good hearted people and will be taught the right knowledge in schools. I would not like to confuse them by conflicting teachings - at home and in schools. It would be nice if their friends are also brought up with the similar kind of values - helping people in need, charity, religion and not about who has the latest technologies or the new cds, or the new clothes. God, help me be strong, controlled and to be on your righteous path NO MATTER WHAT and how difficult it gets.

Agile Web Development with Rails - 2nd Ed

I picked up the book by Dave Thomas snd David Heinemeier Hansson(Rail's creator) - Agile Web Development with Rails - 2nd Edition today. I plan to review the book while I am reading it. I am a slow reader, so yes it will take me longer to finish the book :).

So, I just finished reading the "Introduction" part of the book. And the thing I like about the book already that it uses shorter sentences to deliver an idea. I have found it always works effectively with me when the writer is using short sentences instead of long ones. With long sentences, I somehow forget what I was reading in the beginning of the sentence when I am at the tail end of it and end up having to read it once again. So to me, it is a great art when the writer uses short concise meaningful sentences in his/her book.

Allright, I am going to review the Ruby Language in Appendix A before installing the rails.

Little trivia: 5:30 in the morning - and the weather is just fantastic outside - perfect spring night. It just rained a bit a little ago. And I so feel like taking a quick puff - shame I know - if only I could control and then totally overcome all my weaknesses. Sighs.

People in my Life

I am feeling restless. I always did, which led me do many whimsical things in the past. I have been trying to calm myself for the last 2 years(yeah). I am afraid I have yet to master that skill. I always tend to mess things up when I am close to achieving something good. Does this mean I am impatient? Could be. When I reach the destination I'd been longing for so long, I tend to lose interest and start taking it for granted. Why can't I free myself of my weaknesses?

These are the people I will always remember very fondly: HMIH S, J Pu, RoFe, my friends Liz, Ov, Mu, Ru, Am,Pet, my cousin SH - when she was little - I adored her.

These are the people I hope to forget but I am afraid I probably won't be able to: KRR, Uj B, my classmate As. Talking about which I wish I was strong enough to politely avoid B Pu. Have you met some people who always pull you down? I would like to put her in that category :).

And my sincerest apologies to the aforementioned people, and also to Lir. Somehow I feel that I have caused each of them some pains.
