Saw this article on TODAY recently. If you read carefully most of these rich guys who made it to the list are people linked to technology or the Net. E.g. Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Apple Computer, Dreamworks. Their total wealth combined is approximately US$134 billion.
The world is changing & the Internet is here to stay. It's not possible to avoid it or work it out of our lives. Truth is, the longer you avoid, the harder it is to catch up.
A personal joke... I studied computing back in the university. There wasn't a formal lesson that teach us how to fix a computer. But today I can fix my own computer because I was forced to do it when my computer broke down at various occasions at the worst of time (when I need to submit crucial projects or major exams). The only part left is the motherboard now. Big joke :)
Well better to pick it up early at your own pace than come a time when you're forced into doing it. Nah. Don't remind me of the nightmares ._.'
If you want to see what you've never seen before, you've got to do what you've never done before.

Shout it Out!!!
All Skirts Day!!!! May sound silly to some. But I started setting aside a day each month for that because the little gals at Sunday school doesn't seem to wear skirts anymore. (minus their school skirts)
What's the problem anyway? What's wrong with NOT wearing skirts? Ooooh there's no problem at all. I didn't say there is one. But if I have my own daughters I'll definitely enjoy dolling them up, making them look pretty & stuff *winks*
I had my fair share of wearing jeans through my growing up days. It's convenient, comfortable, cool and what's not. However we girls should still be comfortable to display our girlishness & femininity once in a while.
By the way gals all of you looked so good! :)

Exams are just round the corner. We decided to do up a little something to bless our friends who're probably going crazy memorizing all the formulas & last minute revisions. Each gal is supposed to make four little packets of blessings to give our classmates. Though it's a simple token but I believe the heart is there. Paid with $$$ & wrapped with diligence & love. Awwwww....
Think about this: You can afford to give $1 to the lady selling tissue outside the MRT. Who is more fortunate?? Of course the one who can give.
Gals you ROXXX!!! I'm sure your classmates have been touched by your little act of kindness.

You might have the innocent intention of making friends. But do be aware of the perverts hidden amongst the other users in the various social networking sites.
Not sure if you came across the fake Osama & some other famous personality on Friendster. Obviously it's not the real Osama my students would say. The real one is too busy running away from the police. Hahah! Well think a bit deeper. If there can be "fake famous people" why can't there be "fake average guy/gal"?
Summarised version (by kermit for easy reading):
Warnings over social site 'abuse'
Social networking sites like MySpace, Bebo have been gaining great popularity among the teenagers.
A study of the sites by the consumer watchdog unearthed pornographic images, evidence of bullying and inappropriate adverts. It also proved easy to pose as a child as the sites did no age or ID checks. "Teenage users need to be aware that there is no way of knowing who is behind the face of a 'friend'," said Jessica Ross, Computing Which? editor.
One researcher was able to pose as a 14-year-old on MySpace as the site did not require identification or carry out an age check.
Ms Ross said: "Networking sites, such as myspace.com and bebo.com, need to do more to protect their millions of trusting members."

Quite funny but as I planned to write this porn series I realized that though I don't go onto the Net often I had my fair share of porn disruption in my peaceful life => BEWARE porn will try to find it's way to you...better think of how to fight it before you fall victim to it.
I used to wonder why people would want to watch porn after my first disgusting experience. Yucks! (Pride comes before a fall, don't ever be too sure of yourself)
Many months later there was a day that I was alone at home. I saw a disc lying around in my house. I seriously don't know what came over me but there was no one at home and soon I found myself sitting in front of the TV watching it. Even as I was watching I was so afraid that someone would come home that I actually latched my door. Bad Kermit...
Did I enjoy watching it?
.
.
.
.
.
Couldn't be further from the truth. After watching it, I felt absolutely stupid & guilty.... worse... it also affected me in days to come.
.
.
.
.
.
I became rather perverted after that. I often find myself stealing glances at girls who are scantily dressed. Tube top/mini skirts/two strings etc. I felt very bad and disgusted about myself. What's wrong with me???? Bad bad Kermit...
.
.
.
This continued for some time until I finally pluck up my courage & shared my dark secret with a church friend. She did not condemn me but listened patiently. And at the end of our conversation she prayed for me.
Thankfully things started improving after that. I was less drawn to see things that I shouldn't be seeing.
Think twice before you start. Easy to stumble in but hard to get out.
P.S: Drop me an email at kermittee@hotmail.com if you need someone to share with.

Ever wondered if pornography has effects on girls? Read on...
I had my computer & Internet connection about 8 years ago when I was in junior college. I starting exchanging emails with one of my male cousin who's 2 years younger than me. One day I received an email from him with a picture attachment titled "BradPitt" that got me all excited. Brad Pitt was one of my fave movie stars back then & he was described as the sexiest man alive!!! No joke k!
I double clicked on the file & it's Brad Pitt all right - a naked one. 100% uncovered. Man.... I was so upset. I just shot back an email warning my cousin not to send me such stuff again else I'm going to tell his mother. Well... I didn't any receive any email from him for a long long time after that.
Looking back my cousin must have thought it was funny. But the truth is I was really really offended by what I saw. I didn't even ask for it!!!
8 years later....
If I shut my eyes now I can still see that yucky picture vaguely in my mind. What I saw for that split second became imprinted in my mind for the last 8 years. It's just stuck there much as I've tried to forget :(
If you're given a choice to choose today "Are you prepared to carry these filthy images with you"???

I've been thinking about this for quite some time. However a part of me was a little apprehensive as well. I mean who am I to talk about female wellness - I don't think I'm there yet.
Just this morning I heard a pretty sad story from the terror of Bukit Merah about a gal in her early teens. I knew her not too long ago too though not well. Still I was saddenend. (I shouldn't go into details here)
As such finally moving from just being excited about the term female wellness I'm now going to start on it. This sense of urgency is good.
Anyway a new revelation. One key reason why I can stand tall & be free to share about female wellness. Well.... who's best to talk about female wellness than a gal herself! Plus all my manly guy colleagues already have their manly topics to talk about & I really don't wish to see them turn girlish/womanly suddenly. EEEEKS!!! *shivers* :P
Stay tuned!
Hie there Class 1N,
Sorry for being so late in putting these up. To prevent other people from grabbing your pictures without permission I've put them into a slideshow. You can email me at kermittee@hotmail.com to send you the pictures k.
It's been a wonderful pleasure teaching you all. I remember very clearly what I shared with you people. Your behaviour & attitude really impressed me class. Keep up the good work. And remember who ultimately benefit in the end? It's your character!
Watch your thoughts ; they become words.
Watch your words ; they become actions.
Watch your actions ; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character .
Watch your character; it becomes your DESTINY!
