hinder - lips of an angel



Honey why are you calling me so late?
It's kinda hard to talk crying now.
Honey why you´re crying? Is everything okay?
I've gotta whisper 'cause I can't be too loud

Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words just makes me weak

And I
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And, yes, I've dreamt of you too
Does he know you're talking to me?
Will it start a fight?
No I don't think she has a clue.

Well, my girls in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words just makes me weak.

And I
never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

crossroad








Once more at the crossroads,

Lord where should I go?

Every path a mystery,

No signposts that I know.


I'm confused about everything,

What I feel, what I should do.

I know that I should trust you,

But I really wish I knew

What path that I should follow,

The life I ought to make

,How to fill this hollow,

When and what to give and take.


Should my mind or my feelings,

Or blind chance lead the way?

For my feelings pull me strongly,

But my mind has more to say.



I could always follow chance,

Because it's only chance to me,

To God it's part of the big plan,

One huge cosmic mystery.


Once more at the crossroads,

Lord where should I go?

Every path a mystery,

No signposts that I know.



Help me God, guide me,

I do not know the way.



You are the one true shepherd

Please lead me through today.

mount faber

its a reeeeeeeeally beautiful place.


u guys should go there.


couples especially.





here's y..





nice right nice right?

here's a bit more about mount faber:

Mount Faber, formerly known as Telok Blangah Hill, is a hill about 106 metres in height in Singapore, located near the Bukit Merah planning area in the Central Region. It overlooks the Telok Blangah area, and the western parts of the Central Area. The summit is accessible by road, but there are many footpaths leading up the hill.

It is a frequent tourist destination, as it provides a panoramic view of the increasingly dense central business district within the Central Area. Its slope includes a tower that is part of the Singapore cable car system that connects to HarbourFront and Sentosa. It is accessible from the HarbourFront MRT Station.

Mount Faber was known as Telok Blangah Hill but was later renamed after Captain Charles Edward Faber of the Madras Engineers, the superintending engineer in the Straits and Governor Butterworth's brother-in-law, who arrived in Singapore in September 1844. Faber cut through the thick undergrowth, allowing the road to the top of the hill to be built. The original winding road was referred to in the press at that time as a "stupidly narrow road".

The article also questioned the change of the name from what it deemed its originally more appropriate Malay name. A signal station was erected on the hill in 1845, and the Malay used to refer to the hill as Bukit Bendara (Flag Hill). This signal station was transferred from Pulau Blakang Mati (now Sentosa) because of the "injurious miasma" on the island.

After the Indian Mutiny of 1857, the Straits government decided to convert Mount Faber into a fort for fear of revolt among the local Indian sepoys. Defence work was carried out and granite emplacements for guns were completed halfway up the hill, but Mount Faber never became a fort. An observatory was built there in 1905.

megapixel


i learnt that


the higher the pixel the better because


in one square if you have 2 mega pixel = one square will have 2000 pixels


but if its 8 megapixel in the same square, its like 4 times more.


this is because of the density of pixels.


COOL!
Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of a computer display, related to the size of the display in inches and the total number of pixels in the horizontal and vertical directions. This measurement is often referred to as dots per inch, though that measurement more accurately refers to the resolution of a computer printer. PPI may also be used to describe the resolution of an image scanner or digital camera; in this context, it is synonymous with samples per inch.
For example, a display that is 11 inches wide by 8.5 inches high, capable of a maximum 1024 by 768 pixel resolution, can display about 93 PPI in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This figure is determined by dividing width (or height) of the display area in pixels, by width (or height) of the display area in inches. It is possible for a display's horizontal and vertical PPI measurements to be different. The apparent PPI of a monitor depends upon the screen resolution (that is, number of pixels) and the size of the screen in use; a monitor in 800 by 600 mode has a lower PPI than the same monitor at 1024 by 768 mode. The dot pitch of a computer
display determines the absolute limit of possible pixel density.
The pixel density is useful for calibrating a monitor with a printer; software can
use the PPI measurement to display a document at "actual size" on the screen.
PPI can also describe the resolution in pixels, of an image to be printed within a specified space. For instance, a 100x100-pixel image that is printed in a 1-inch square could be said to have 100 pixels per inch, regardless of the printer's DPI capability. Used in this way, the measurement is only meaningful when printing an image. Good quality photographs usually require 300 pixels per inch when printed.

trust



thought about sharing this.


in yahoo answers,


there was this two question posted


that caught my attention







How can I learn to trust people?





I have a real issue with trusting people, and I'm not too sure if I'm doing the right thing. I want to trust people, but not be used as a doormat, but i also wanna limit the trust without looking like a jerk. it seems either one of those two happens.I have reasons not to trust people. a group of my old friends made the whole school hate me. my ex girlfriend cheated on me twice and always lied to me, her friends always spread rumours about me, and my best friend i had for 6 years turned into a jerk and backstabbed me because he changed and im not like him. most of my friends either backdtabbed me, or used me. do i have a reason not to trust people???I want to be close with people, but i cant help not trusting, no matter who it is. because of that, i look like a jerk. im not mean, i just wanna be assertive. how can i be more trusting???




The best answer:




That looks like a difficult situation. You have my sympathy.I know the feeling of not being able to trust people, and it's something that I am working on as well. I am still attempting to learn the ins and outs of working with others, so I might suggest something that is totally ludicrous. However, this is what I've found.




Understand that others are not what make you or break you. Relationships are very important, but they are not what define you as a person. You need not invest all of who you are in a relationship with another. No matter what other people do to you, you are still a valuable human being. Their backstabbing only reflects badly on them.




Give relationships (of any sort) time. It's good to not trust acquaintances too much right off the bat. Wait a bit. Don't invest too much of your ego in the opinion of the other until you are sure that they are worthy of trust. While you may still run across the occasional Transforming Jerk, the majority will be weeded out if you wait long enough. If the relationship was meant to be, it will come about.




Find something to center yourself. I use my religion, consciously deciding to value the opinion of God over that of those around me. I've heard that meditation works as well. Find something that you can make more important to you than the opinion of those around you.





good answer don't you think?




ok what if you need someone to trust you?




read on.




How can I make someone trust me?





I've been with my bofriend for 4mths, we have a great time together & both love eachother very much...but he has a trust thing from his past relationships!!!!I know that we all bring bits of past relationships in2 new ones but trust is a big part of a new relationship, although it takes time to trust someone!!!I just need help from anyone who has had similer problems & how did u deal with them.....there are no other problems other than the trust thing!!Is this something that i've just got to accept untill he begins to trust me?????P.s....I've neva done anything 2 make him distrust me & i've always reasured him on things too.






the best answer




I know where you're coming from. I used to date a girl with trust issues. She was fine going into the relationship, but once she was in the relationship she started to have problems. She started looking at every little thing as a sign of betrayal. Talk about frustrating.You have to accept that he may never trust you. It's a sad thing to have to admit, but unless you accept this possibility you'll be leaving yourself vulnerable to getting truly hurt. Trust me on this. I speak from experience.




There is, unfortunately, no way to make someone trust you. Trust is a decision. However, you can do some little things that help him out.For starters, it's easier to trust someone who trusts you. So, you need to let him know that you trust him. This means that you make yourself vulnerable to getting hurt, but it also makes you more trustworthy if he knows that you have something to lose.




You also need to be extra careful about doing what you say you will do, and not contradicting yourself. He's going to be watching you for signs that you are dishonest. Any little thing you do or say might be taken as a sign that you can't be trusted. So, pay extra attention to the little things.




Finally, you need to make sure you keep communicating. And you need to keep him communicating, too. It's when the communication breaks down that the lack of trust really kills you. As long as you talk about your problems, you should be able to work through your trust issues.




On a side note, it might be beneficial for him, if he has serious trust issues, to seek the help of a counselor. Sometimes these issues require a lot of work to overcome.




I wish you the best.

jealousy.


i have a huge problem with jealousy and controlling jealousy.

and for those people like me, here's remedy.


Jealousy is one of the biggest traps within relationships. The feeling of possession that usually accompanies love and being in love ignites jealousy, but it can sometimes become a bigger influence than the love itself. Many couples have been driven apart by an overdose of jealousy. There isn’t much you can do, when you tend to get jealous easily, however, this emotion is not harmful by itself if you know how to deal with it. It should not be the cause of mistrust in your partner, or even of the end of your relationship.


A few tips on how to deal with your jealousy, can help you out:

Serious forms of jealousy can hinder your relationship. On the other hand, it is a sign of love after all. Don’t give to much power to jealousy. Jealousy is an expression of the fact that you feel comfortable with a certain person and that nobody is allowed to break this contact. Learn how to cope with fits of jealousy and your relationship will be the better for it.


Be clear about your feelings

When you are jealous, you should not hide it. Be open to your partner about your feelings. Explain what the situation is about and find a solution together. To communicate with your partner is essential within a relationship. You have to know what goes on in his or her head and this goes both ways. Only this way you can work together on an exaggerated form of jealousy.


Give trust


Give your partner the feeling that you trust him or her. It will have an opposite effect if your partner gets the idea that you suspect him or her of adultery. Suspicion will never work positively. You should believe that your partner cares as much about you as you care about him or her. If you are really convinced, that your suspicions are true, you need to talk.


Give each other space


Don’t jump up if your partner kisses somebody on the cheek or gives someone a compliment. A relationship should not be based on the possession of each other, but on freedom and trust. Allow your partner to have social contact with others. Don’t be alarmed by little things. And ask same of your partner.


Keep in mind that a light form of jealousy is positive. Your jealousy should not take on huge shapes so it will not become disturbing. Light jealousy promotes attachment. Your jealousy should always remain an image of your love. So, as long as your jealousy doesn’t really stand in your way, it is an honorable feeling.

i think this piece of information is rather effective. for those who need this advice, do try it out as well. No harm right? =)

wow, its school again for the last time

can u actually believe that school is gonna start and i am gonna graduate soon?

no i cant.

its so fast.

frens i created.

some became invisible some became really close.

stupid mistakes made till this point of time

and wonderful proud moments in life.

=)

to all my friends and those who are gonna graduate soon,
all i have to say is this..

Each of us must climb our separate mountain
To reach at last our own extended view.
We can be no more than what we are,
Yet that is quite enough for us to do.

The world is far too great for comprehension,
And so we only know what we can know.
But given the abilities we're given,
That's still a long and weary way to go.

Yet on the way, how beautiful the moments!
How good it feels to have some skill or art!
How wonderful to pause in awestruck wonder
At what must fill the unsuspecting heart!
And so we're proud of each of you today
For all you've learned, and all you've tried to learn.
Knowledge brings the deepest satisfaction,
Not least because it's something that you earn

how about generally annoying everyone?

here's 19 easy steps.

=D

  1. As often as possible, skip rather than walk.

  8. Go to a poetry recital and ask why the poems don't rhyme.
  9. Have your coworkers address you by your wrestling name, Rock Hard Kim.
  10. In the memo field of all your checks, write "for sexual favors".
  11. Page yourself over the intercom. Don't disguise your voice.
  12. Put decaf in the coffee maker for 3 weeks. Once everyone has gotten over their caffeine addictions, switch to espresso.
  13. Put mosquito netting around your work area. Play a tape of jungle sounds all day.
  14. Put your garbage can on your desk and label it "in"
  15. Sing along at the opera.
  16. Specify that your drive-through order is "to go".
  17. Tell your children over dinner. "due to the economy, we are going to have to let one of you go."
  18. When leaving the zoo, start running towards the parking lot, yelling "run for your lives, they're loose!!"
  19. When the money comes out of the ATM, scream I won!", "I won!" "3rd time this week!!!!!"

Raffles Junior College is introducing its own diploma



was reading the news online and guess what? RJC is gonna have its own diploma.

yes yes, OMG! OMG!

i know how you feel.

Just four years after introducing its six—year integrated programme for the Raffles family of schools, Raffles Junior College (RJC) is gearing up to take pre—tertiary education in Singapore to a new level.

In what is a first for an established junior college, it is introducing its own school—leaving certificate, the Raffles diploma. This will be awarded to students who undergo a new programme that will see them taking advanced—level modules and building up a portfolio of research projects, on top of their A—level subjects.

And in time to come, the diploma might even become an alternative to the A—level certificate. The junior college is considering offering the diploma, as well as the International Baccalaureate, as choices alongside the A levels. "We recognise that the students want more choices in terms of the types of programmes available to them," said RJC principal Mrs Lim Lai Cheng.

The plans come even as the idea of a merger between RJC and Raffles Institution (RI) both share a campus at Bishan is being discussed. For starters, both will have the same members on their respective boards of management, when the term of the existing RI board ends on May 31.

Beginning with a group of 80 to 100 students to be selected from this year’s JC 1 cohort, the

Raffles diploma programme still a "prototype" will be extended to include a wider pool of students next year, Mrs Lim told TODAY.

Until it gains more recognition and gets accredited, students will be awarded the Raffles diploma along with their A levels when they graduate, which they can use to apply for a university place. Currently, only the NUS High School of Mathematics and Science, which began in 2005, has developed its own educational certificate.

The aim is to give "highly able" and "gifted" students the chance to maximise their potential, said Raffles Academy dean Mrs Reavley Munn—Ye, who is spearheading the new programme.
It will include a community work aspect: In Academic Service Learning, students will take on research projects to develop solutions for socio—economic issues faced by the community.

They may also be attached to research institutes and universities to work on "real—world problems", said Mrs Reavley. "These students will excel at the A levels that’s not a question for them so what we want to do is stretch them beyond what the A levels can offer."
In the 2006 A—level exams, 912 of RJC’s students scored at least three As or more, the highest number among all the junior colleges.

Mrs Reavley pointed out that the new scheme is really an extension of the Raffles Academy programme, under which select secondary school students from the Raffles integrated programme take higher—level modules and project work beyond their curriculum.

"Basically, we’re introducing the Raffles Academy programme at the junior college level," she said.

Talks are also in progress to strengthen the link between the junior college, RI and Raffles Girls’ School (RGS). Merging RI and RJC would streamline the administrative processes between the programmes and allow them to pool resources, said Mrs Lim.

Asked if the merger would be similar to the one between Hwa Chong Junior College and The Chinese High, which became Hwa Chong Institution in 2005, Mrs Lim declined to make the comparison.

She added that details such as whether a chief executive officer would run both schools, or even the name of the school would be worked out over this year.
Some students say a merger would simply be a "formalisation" of the links between the Raffles schools.

"For us, it’s like we’re already part of one school," said JC2 student Ho Wen Jun, 18, who was from RI. "It could be even better in the sense that as students, we can consult a wider pool of teachers from both schools."

Raffles alumnus contacted by TODAY were optimistic, if cautious.

Said Mr Irvin Tan, 25, who studied at RI and RJC: "It’s a good idea... it will be a fledgling programme that’s ultimately a social experiment, so it will need to have proper performance indicators. And you need to ensure that the majority benefits from it."


HAIL TO THE ALL NEW RAFFLES DIPLOMA!
