A Cup Of Coffee
Right now, I'm terribly buzy with my final year.. huhuuhu.. and now, i would like share with you guyz a story: A Cup Of Coffee.. It's an intresting story and touches the deepest of your heart..(that's if you have any :P)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle,when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar...and the coffee...
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls.He then asked the students if the jar was
full.
They agreed that it was.So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor, as the laughter subsided, " I want you torecognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things - your God, family, your children, your health, your friends, and your favorite passions-things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other
things that matter like your job, your house, and your car. The
sand is everything else-the small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first, the things
that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked. It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."
Hope you are smiling at this moment! And opened your eyes and heart about the meaning of life itself :)

Gomen...
Arghh... i've been buzy past this month. But, still i've got spare minutes to watch movies. Van Helsing is a dissapointment to me. There's no story behind the story. I've only see the well-made effect of Bat+Vampires, Frankenstein, Werewolves and good stunts. Lots of jumping and swinging made my face looks like @_@.. Troy is good. Eric Bana is more stand out than Brad Pitt.. No offense to Pitt's fan. :P A credit to Brad Pit for an excellent performance of sword-fighting.. And plus, i've never ever thought men can look good in skirts.. lol.. third movie i've watch is 13 Going to 30 starred by Jennifer Garner. This movie is one of the best romantic+comedy after Maid in Manhattan..
And, next week I'll be going to a holiday.. Already book a suite at Palm Springs, P.D.
I'll post up some pics afterwards..
See ya next semestar, guys...

Interesting...
Programmer Lines for When their Programs Fail
20) "That's weird..."
19) "It's never done that before."
18) "It worked yesterday."
17) "How is that possible?"
16) "It must be a hardware problem."
15) "What did you type in wrong to get it to crash?"
14) "There is something funky in your data."
13) "I haven't touched that module in weeks!"
12) "You must have the wrong version."
11) "It's just some unlucky coincidence."
10) "I can't test everything!"
9) "THIS can't be the source of THAT."
8) "It works, but it hasn't been tested."
7) "Somebody must have changed my code."
6) "Did you check for a virus on your system?"
5) "Even though it doesn't work, how does it feel?
4) "You can't use that version on your system."
3) "Why do you want to do it that way?"
2) "Where were you when the program blew up?"
1) "It works on my machine."
p/s: Even though this is one of the cynical jokes up on to programmers.. But this the truth.. This are EXACTLY their lines when their programmes failed.. to be honest, i've used some of the lines from the past.. lets hope, neither we will not use any of these lines.. in the future..
