This is some awesome monsterrr! haha. Well, that's quoted from pocketnow.com about this new stuff that just surfaced few days ago.
xda-developers.com member Maxycy, who previously well known for MaxManila, after showed some teasers and previews some months ago, finally he released his awesome work - MaxSense UI.
The last time I covered about GTX Sense UI, today I'm gonna do cover about MaxSense UI. This is a whole new modd to the current HTC Sense UI originally from HTC HD2 devices. Of course, the Sense UI was successfully extracted and cooked into custom ROMs along with the official Windows Mobile 6.5.x ROMs.
Maxycy did a good job by rearranging everything into a new sense of feel, after for months we got stuck in the old Sense UI. Here are some of the images that I took from my HTC Touch HD running on xda-moderator and cook NRGZ28's Energy ROMs. Although the UI is new, but we can expect lots of improvements and enhancements, judging by how another xda-member Co0kieMonster worked out the Co0kie Home Tab.
The only nothing-normal-user-can-do flaw is that there's no cab released, or planned to release for now. So we all need to flash to selected custom ROMs if you want to use this awesome stuff. Here's my technical data of my Blackstone now:
Okay, some of you know that I'm interested in playing fingerstyle guitar. Here's my attempt:
[Cover] Missing You - Sungha Jung
It's not perfect, but well, I'm kinda happy and satisfied, considering the fact that this is finally uploaded after 20+ attempts. Hope you all like it. Do leave comments, as there's always room for improvements right? =)
There're things that one wishes he could have remembered them when he needs them, but they just didn't came right at the moment he needs them.
On the contrary, there're also things that one wishes he could have forgotten totally about them, but they continue to linger and wander and even haunt him in his memory.
I wish I could forget stuffs that really really caused so much inconvenience, awkwardness, regrets, hurts at both sides, bitterness, sour...
I wish I could remember stuffs that really really important for example in studies, interviews like in the one that I had just now, the promises, the amount, experiences, punishments, price that I paid...
Then, there's no point of standing around and making assumptions, but rather to jump in and follow the route to find out how deep the rabbit hole goes. Then one might find Alice, maybe Albert Einstein did find her, or gain nothing but lost along the way, maybe got mental problem or sorts. So that along the way one might find new purposes, instead of just searching for "Alice" and "Wonderland", one might found better meaning of life, of what one has been doing, or God.
But of all, that's the step that a lot of people failed to take, people like me, for example. Some push from other people might be a good idea, but ultimately one has to leave the comfort zone, and to step into the hole that God knows where it will lead you to. And since only God knows, it's essential to have Him as the Light to guide ones way in the midst of the confusion and tangling routes in the rabbit hole.
The scary part of life is not knowing things that one supposed to know. I know that feeling and I know that it isn't pleasant at all. It comes to even more complex when the entity involves various values from various environments. It requires real wisdom to untangle the mess and sort it accordingly. Not many has done that, not me at least. However, the scarier part, or rather, the scariest part is that no action is taken to know that there're things that one supposed to know. And there's no point of looking at the fourth or fifth or tenth or thousandth step, if one doesn't even want to look at the first. And to initiate a momentum requires more force to overcome the resistance. That is why static friction coefficient is always higher than dynamic friction coefficient in all circumstances.
But ultimately, there's always ONE divine power that overwrites all these laws and theories and hypothesis and that is the Father God, who is the creator of all things in the universe.
And I guess that's part of life. To know and understand well of these. Why I sound so negative? because I felt a little disappointed in myself. I just hope that to realize this at this age and write it down would be helpful to those younger generation.
Whether I like it or not, tomorrow is the day of the telephone interview that I'm much looking forward to. I wish to get this practical job. The topic is something that I want to do.
And I'm worried. Worried that I'm gonna screw it. Well, I always have the tendency to screw up good chances, and things that I really wanted. Example? Smash straight at the face of my coach during warm-up before a match representing Kuching/Samarahan in badminton game. I guess the consequence was that something was written in the report. =S
I know that past don't prove that now you can't, but can I now? I doubt.
I know I need to prepare it well. I know I need God to keep me calm tomorrow.
Reverted my blog to the old look, which supports the 'fluid' feature - Adjusting the view according to your browser's resolution. I missed this feature in my ex-layout, although the ex was more flexible than this.
I guess sometimes we all do wish to go back to some certain time-frame in lives too. Few days ago I was talking to a friend, and we talk about how great our parents are. I was surprised that we were able to share so much about our parents. I wish I could go back and appreciate all the tiny little bits that I am really missing now.
Parents are great, don't they? And what makes me excited lately is that I love toddlers! No no, I'm not thinking to be a dad now. But I wanna be a great one when I'm ready in the future. Yea, I do agree when we talked about the point that "Dads are amazing, and moms are great!" I'm gonna be a great daddy lol.
Maybe until now I said these are partly because I forgot my dad's birthday which was few days ago. LoL. I hope mom did tell you that I'm sorry for not calling back =S
But then, I guess I'm very happy and curious to see kids start to understand and reason things out based on what they know. It all started when I worked with my aunt, Aunt Isobel at textile company after my SPM. She has a smart kid named Clement. I used to babysit and play with him. The fun part was seeing him try to reason out mathematical questions, or even adult's conversation... so cute can! He claimed himself to be Lee Hom lol.
Urgh. I think I better stop thinking about kids. Getting excited again. Maybe I should consider Billy's suggestion to adopt a child with that someone.LoL.
Anyway, I won't be around this weekend; going for annual Das Festival 2010 'church camp'-like at Stuttgart. In fact, I'll be leaving on tomorrow, Friday morning, until Monday afternoon I supposed. I'm looking forward to it. It's gonna be the recharger of my currently tiredness and stressfulness of study life.
Seriously. The more effort you put in, the more energy-drawing it is. And I need the recharge. Else I'm gonna fail lots of subjects again. Stress is building up. And I might get easier to get angry and lose my self-control. A lot of stuffs in hand and I really wish that I can get those things over with within the next week.
Oh, and speaking of next week, please help me pray for my success in my interview on next Friday. I really need it. It has a nice theme and I really want to do that topic. High Power LED in Camera. If everything goes well, you photographers out there someday might use Goh's Technology hahaha. Okay okay, I shall be humble. I hope I can get the practical job. Really. So thank you in advance!
Another thing in mind is that, my brain is frozen by FroYo! Also known as the successor of Eclair Andriod 2.1, Google claimed that this Android 2.2 is the fastest smartphone of all time. it makes me want to have an android phone now. Although I'm envy of iPhone users; Apple is great, no doubt but I don't like the strategy 'attacking' normal human (not technology geek like me, am I? ) who actually is like taking a huge part of the human society. And sorry if this opinion attacks you. It's just a fact. On the other hand, Android offers some (actually a lot ) space for user development. Windows Phone 7? I read that it's releasing soon about how-to-use. We'll see, although to be honest I don't expect much haha. Oh, in case you still wonder, FroYo can also means frozen yogurt. I'm not joking.
Another thing: at least Megan Fox is out from Transformers 3. Phew. Another sticking-on-motobike-making-a-call-to-boyfriend scene makes me wanna puke. Or sm-ing a robot. Haha. I'm just saying!
Come to think of it, I don't really know what is the topic of this post. But then again, I have this title because it has been bothering me these few days, and I really don't want anything childish comes between us. I'm not telling details, but I guess apology from my side is better. Maybe it's inappropriate, but at least it's sincere from me. I'm sorry. Truly.
1. A sexy voice is what makes me melted completely. ;) you can sing and you should sing more, I’ll be the listener and proud to admit I’m your first fan. =)
2. The sweetest moment is not defined by what you have achieved, but with whom you share that with.
3. It’s not because of who I am, but what You have done; It’s not because of what I’ve done, but because of who You are.
4. China deserves to win Thomas Cup. You can come argue with me, but I can give you valid and actual reasons why they deserve it.
5. On Friday I went to play badminton. And I guess I worsen the recovering wrist. A little. Shoooooot.

Let's have a teaser first:
Okay, I’ve not done this for quite sometimes, but I would like to share today’s topic in our House Church, it’s titled: Self Control.
Presented by Jia Jin, this topic was old but refreshing one for me. He started by asking about an area in our lives that we lack of self-control and later about how do we think we can solve it. And then we compare what is written in Bible:
“Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control” Proverbs 25:28 NIV
<del>Fair</del> True enough, one who lacks self-control can be seen as not having a self-identity. He can gives thousands of advantages and disadvantages of any issue but fails to tell his stand and view. The heart would be like a city without walls, you’re not knowing what is coming in and going out of yourself and most of the time it comes with a price to pay. Walls are built to protect what’s inside a city, and in our context, our identity. Your identity would be then easily being invaded by outer sources. And you have no defenses against them. How dangerous that is!
So nobody wants it, no? So we were taught of 7 strategies to gain self-control:-
1. Admit your problem – I find that this is the most crucial and essential point – it’s the first step of problem solving. You cannot solve an issue without first identifying it, no? You can beat around the bush for whole day long but in the end you fails to identify your weaknesses and problems. Furthermore, there’re also people (like me) that likes to deny the mess that they’re in. And most of the time I find that I fail to solve the problem.
2. Put your past behind you – A lot of times we think that “that is how we were and are and nothing we can do to change it”. The question is, is it really so? We always let our past defines who we are today. But the truth is that all the failed attempts in your past cannot hold a grip of who you are now unless you let them to. Actually, those aren’t failures, but rather education. One of the famous story is that when Thomas Edison succeed in making light bulbs on his 1001 attempts and was asked about how he felt about the 1000 failed attempts, he said that he found 1000 ways not to make a light bulb. And even in Bible, Paul told us:-
“Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead, I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus” Philippians 3:13-14 NIV
3. Talk back to your feelings – Our feelings play a big role in our decision making. To me, feeling is element that makes a journey either comfortable or painful or both. The thing is that we should always recognize that sometimes feeling controls us. Pastor Stefen ever shared once about 4 areas that could affect our self-control:
Hungry – for some people, when they’re hungry, they tend to lose their self-control. I think I’m not, so far.
Angry – definitely for me sometimes =P
Lustful – men especially
Tired – happened to me lots of times. I still remember my ex-girlfriend said that I ever shouted at her when I was tired. Hmmmmmmmmmm….
Of course there are a lot of areas more, these are just some of the common ones.
4. Believe that you can change – I definitely need this. I have low self-esteem. =.=”
5. Make yourself accountable to someone – Chinese idiom says “团结就是力量", German idiom says “Gemeinsam sind wir stark” (no political view okaaaayy), and in Bible it says:-
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”Ecclesiastes 4:12 NIV
Therefore, make yourself accountable to someone, who you can really trust. And there are some criteria that you should choose of that someone, to avoid solving this issue but fall into the other ones:-
same gender
you are confident of that person to keep your secrets
you give them the permission and authority to step into your life to check on you, not just buddy buddy.
6. Avoid the temptation proactively – If you know you will end up spending a lot of time and money on ebay, then don’t go to the website. If you are addicted to internet, then just either off your computer/laptop/Eee PC/whatever OOOOORRRRRRRRR do !this! <—very useful and practical! Oh well, at least for me =P
7. Depend on Christ Power – Well of course, we cannot overcome things without through Him. In addition, God even promised us that all the temptations that we’re facing are solvable:
“No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyong what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.” 1. Corinthians 10:13 NIV
That is actually my favorite Bible quote =) to always remind me that I can overcome all the temptations through His power. Also some verses shared by those who were present at the House Church Meeting:
“It will be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Hebrews 8:9-10 NIV
Verse Shared by Steph. On a side note, I still cannot forget your funny joke: “Even in Bible God says men should do the coffee-brewing job.” (flipping the Bible) “NaAaaHh, it’s HE-BREWS!! NOT SHE-BREWS!”
Another verse shared by Grace:-
“Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for; through the fear of the Lord a man avoids evil.” Proverbs 16:6 NIV
