11 August 2008 ! at 12:41 AM ! Went to St. John's to celebrate National Day. I didn't realise that it was a public holiday although it was a Saturday! Had so many confusions, but thank God in the Henrietta and I could go :D It was fun, oh! The fish that they caught and cooked was so delicious! It ws really fresh :DDD Ooh and I learnt how to play Bridge :D Interesting intellectual game :D I wanna play again! Thank God that He sent Karen and Rongxuan to the library on Monday to help Ruijing and I! Haha, the both of us were so panicky 'cause the pictures and links wouldn't work properly from dreamweaver to the webpages! Thank God so much they came in time and helped us solved the problem. I don't think I'll get A, but as Ruijing said, a pass would be good enough for this project. I still hate dreamweaver though, I still don't really get it. And in future, if I ever need a website for my childcare centre etc, I will hire a professional to do it. I will never ever do it on my own.

What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations wheresomeone wants you to GIVE OVER 100%. How about ACHIEVING 101%? What equals 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions: If:A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R ST U V W X Y Z Is represented as:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1516 17 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25 26. If:H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% And:K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% But:A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% THEN, look how far the love of Godwill take you: L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101% Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It'sthe Love of God that will put you over the top! It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just the way I did."Trust in the Lord with all yourheart, do not depend on your ownunderstanding. Seek His will in allyou do, and He will direct yourpaths." Proverbs 3: 5-6 Ps. I don't really see the beauty, other that the 101% part. The other parts are still mere numbers to me :// Though, the numbers do appear a little cooler arranged in this manner. <3, CASS. |
