Horrible result

I took this Cyber Crimes Quiz on Discovery Tech which is part of Discovery Channel online.

Guess what my results was?

I got only 2 out of 10 correct. Here's what the summary of my result says:

0-3: Horrible
Do you even own a computer? You should DEFINITELY put your credit card on ice, and then click on the "Take this Quiz Again" link below.

Uh-oh, I guess this means that I need to start reading news on cyber crime. Ignorance is not a bliss in this case, look where it got me. And yes, I'm not going to do buy anything online until my result on the Cyber Crimes quiz improves.

Hope that you get a good score!

Romantic love song

I'm adding Longer by Dan Fogelberg to my list of love songs. It's so romantic and the music is perfect as in it suits the song. I sometimes feel that this is God's love song to me. Would be romantic if my future lover serenade this song to me.

Your Road Map for Success

I used to wonder what is success? I thought it was about accomplishing something, but I was wrong. I found the answer in the book, Your Road Map for Success by John C. Maxwell. Success is defined in just 3 lines.

Success is...
knowing your purpose in life,
growing to reach your maximum potential, and
sowing seeds that benefit others.

Another thing that stand out while I was reading this book is the code of persistence written by Harold Sherman, author of How to Turn Failure into Success.

1. I will never give up so long as I know I am right.
2. I will believe that all things will work out for me if I hang on the end.
3. I will be courageous and undismayed in the face of poor odds.
4. I will not permit anyone to intimidate or deter me from my goals.
5. I will fight to overcome all physical handicaps and setbacks.
6. I will try again and again and yet again to accomplish what I desire.
7. I will take new faith and resolution from the knowledge that all successful men and women have had to fight defeat and adversity.
8. I will never surrender to discouragement or despair no matter what seeming obstacles may confront me.

I had a meeting with the external examiner and someone from CIMA today and one of the things that they said which can help us in our learning is to read a lot. I can't disagree. You'll not only learn more things, your writing skills and thinking skills will also improve greatly.

I love to read,
Vicky

Camp Rock

Watched Camp Rock last night. The storyline was so-so. But I like some of the songs in the movie. My favourite is "This Is Me" by Demi Lovato. I heard her name a couple of times, at least now I have seen her movie and know how she looks like. The music video is to wide for my blog so I'll just give you the link. I actually prefer the scene where she sang this song while playing the piano.

Back from camp

Got back from CF camp few hours ago. Got bitten by a leech on the first day of the camp while playing games.

The games and stream-trotting was fun but tiring. My sports shoe's sole came out while stream-trotting and since I brought along only 1 pair so while playing the obstacle course, it was quite uncomfortable. My body is aching now especially my arms and legs and butt (I slipped at the waterfall).

The speaker was really good. His message was really straightforward and I can sense God speaking to me through him in certain areas. It's really a wake up call for me. Let's hope I don't press the snooze button after the camp.

Food was good too. I met many new friends there, and got to know old ones better. One of the session that I like is the "car wash" session, where we had to go up to our group members and say the positive things we see in them. A very encouraging and touching session for me.

I think the theme for this camp is unity and yes, I believe we managed to achieve that in the 4 days and 3 nights.

Had an awesome time at camp and now having problems downloading next semester timetable which starts next week,

Talent is never enough

Here's a must-read for all you talented people out there. I believe everyone is talented in something whether it's music, sports or photography just that you haven't discovered it yet.

During my semester break (by the way I'm having my semester break now), I read Talent Is Never Enough by John C. Maxwell.

In this book you'll realize that talent alone is never enough, to go far, you'll need to be a talent plus person. Here's the formula to be a talent plus person.

Belief + Passion + Initiative + Focus + Preparation + Practice + Perseverance + Courage + Teachability + Character + Relationships + Responsibility + Teamwork = Talent plus person

Reading Breaking Dawn,

Man in the Mirror

I like Wang Leehom's version of Man in the Mirror. Originally sang by the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I like his interpretation of the song and the video he put together. Whenever I listen to him singing this song, I somehow just want to listen to it. No multitasking. I hope you get what I mean.

I think he did justice to this song. Did not massacre it. I hope he includes this song in his next album.


Wang Leehom's Man in the Mirror.

By the way, this is my favourite Michael Jackson song,
