One Day

by m-flo (translation by Megchan)

I put my hands together and pray for the day
This planet of sadness dies and is reborn
Tell me why; I don't know why
I want to fulfill the mission God gave me
Hurt no more, but I don't know
Oh no no...

Why are you hiding your pain?
You let it rain in your heart, livin' everyday
Why are you hiding your pain?
If you stop the masquerade, stress fades away
You want something you can't see
You don't know what, but it seems OK
The fact that you hold that ideal in your heart
Is proof of that... You hear people sayin'
"It's impossible to change the world," but before you say it, do it
You've got to take the first step yourself
Just like normal, one thing at a time, one person at a time
Even if things don't always go the way you planned, hold it
Pile things up to the sky
If you can pass the cloudy sky, what awaits is morning
Under construction, we're still incomplete
But we'll be perfect one day

The world is so sad
Can't you see the barren land?
Surely God is tired, too, and wants someone's help
But we can't do anything, so we just look on, irritated

The pieces in our hearts
In order to find them, we've got to keep on trying
We're on the same planet; we are family
Gather together and touch peace
Let's show our love for someone

I put my hands together and pray for the day
This planet of sadness dies and is reborn
Tell me why; I don't know why
I want to fulfill the mission God gave me
Hurt no more, but I don't know
Oh no no...

We're all so close we're brushing shoulders
But the walls we build between us are high
Is that city life? Style over what's inside
A smile that's just on the outside's not worth anything
Our eyes are just two dots with a nose between
Emotions are worn down 10%
Seen through an x-ray, our hearts are empty
Rather than getting our feelings out, we choose safety
"Treasure peace," but what does it all mean?
We all have different thoughts
Will we make the most of our differences or won't we?
Is the result "a vessel of love" or is is a weapon?
We forget to look up as we walk
Everyday, hustlin' hustlin', from A to B
And then from B to A again
The truth is, we want to chase our dreams (far away)
If you look in our eyes, you can see somethin ain't right
The truth is we always have something to say, but we can't get it out
Are you just missing your chance for some reason and trying to laugh it off?

The pieces in our hearts
The scream of a prayer hidden deep within that pure smile
Gather together and touch peace
Let's talk bout love, we sing here

I put my hands together and pray for the day
This planet of sadness dies and is reborn
Tell me why; I don't know why
I want to fulfill the mission God gave me
Hurt no more, but I don't know
Oh no no...

Ain't no perfect world till we're all in heaven...　Imagine that
(Can you imagine that?)
Ain't no perfect world till we're all in heaven...　Imagine that
(Imagine that)
No more pain... No more tears... No more cries...
I always want to believe
No more pain... No more tears... No more cries...
Until the day that faint prayer is heard

PC fair.. no Vista??

This round of PC fair is very dissapointing.. i thought this round will be Vista-PC fair but it doesn't.. and this time also see a lot of booth didn't show up.. (our nice friend from Bluedot didn't show up also..) what is really goin' on?? isn't Christmas just around the corner?? ooh.. it is because lately sales of IT product is really sluggish.. you can see Dell have to sell it's lcd monitor in PC fair for the first time..

Microsoft Windows Vista Vs. Apple Mac OS X Leopard

This is it.. The battle between Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard.. when i get my hands-on Windows Vista Beta 2 a few months ago.. Even though it had a lot of improvement than Windows XP.. but i feel that Microsoft are trying hard to follow Mac OS X (the most advanced operating system in the world).. There are too much thing that will make you feel like : "what a minute.. isn't this from Mac OS?"

A. Stability : Windows Server 2003 vs. Unix
Microsoft are trying to developed a new kernel for Windows Vista but failed..instead.. they modify the Windows Server 2003 kernel and make it for Windows Vista.. Windows Vista is a lot more stable than Windows XP (of course this OS eat RAM like monster just to make it stable.. it is recommended that you have 1GB of RAM for Windows Vista..) but i can still feel that it still cannot compete with Mac OS X stability that based on Unix.. There is nothing special about Windows Server 2003 it just about the application compatibility.. it still cannot handle mission critical application that Unix good at..

B. Graphics : Direct X vs. OpenGL
After a lot of version of Direct X.. a lot of generation of 3D Graphic Card.. Microsoft only starting to use the power of it on Windows Vista.. with glass-like Windows Aero interface... but Mac OS X already did this with Quartz Extreme and Core Graphic a long time ago that use the power of OpenGL.. a 3D graphic driver that used to create realistic 3D games such as Quake, Doom etc..

C. Search : Windows Search vs. Spotlight
One of the main features of Windows Vista is the built-in search features that allow you to search for documents, images easily..



























but.. Mac OS X already had this features on Spotlight a few year ago..



























D. Calendar : Windows Calendar vs. iCal
Not all people want to use your Microsoft Outlook one.. not all people very rich to pay another hundred just to use the calendar function on the Microsoft Outlook.. finally Microsoft realise this and offer Calendar function on Windows Vista.. but you have a long way to go.. Apple already have this with iCal a few year ago..



































E. Widgets : Microsoft Gadget vs. Dashboard
Wah.. Windows Vista got cool widgets wor.. Mac OS X already have it already lor.. Mac OS already got thousands of widgets available for download.. another copycat from Microsoft..



























F. Networking : ipv6 nightmare
One thing good about Windows XP is the easy to configure networking compared to Mac OS X..
but right now Microsoft come out with Network Center and also add-in ipv6 connectivity (because Mac OS X Tiger already got ipv6 maa..) in Windows Vista will bring nightmare to Network Administrator to configure the networking for Windows Vista just like what they have with Mac OS X.. Is not that Windows Vista Network Center is not good.. Is that if you have incompatible router with Windows Vista or you have a very special network topology in your office (just like my one of it's kind rojak network topology in my office) then you will have nightmare configure it.. imagine that: you click print but nothing come out.. you cannot access the share file on server.. you are connected to the network but not connected to the internet.. how to solve? imagine this: you need to reboot the router.. you need to restart the PC.. bla bla bla.. time to get used to it.. or you hold the Windows Vista upgrade lor..

G. Conclusion : Vista or not to Vista
Want to Vista or not to Vista? it really up to you.. some people scared to upgrade to Vista because they afraid their PC is not suitable for Vista and afraid will crash their PC..
If you bought new PC this year it means that it is Windows Vista ready.. if it is doesn't than doesn't upgrade it.. i bet you will switch back to Windows XP (since your PC don't have enough horsepower to make use of all the features that Windows Vista have).. get a new PC with Windows Vista or get a Mac instead (haha)..
(Headache.. i need to handle Windows Vista PCs next year.. because next year all the new PC will running on Windows Vista..)
