I had a very intersting conversation with Charley, we decided that `my brother in Christ' should be abbreviated as `mbiC:'

(13:24:06) Charley Zhang: let me check, my brother in Christ
(13:25:15) Charley Zhang: why is he called Levi?
(13:25:27) htam23: hmm in another book he was
(13:25:31) htam23: let me check, my brother in Christ
(13:25:39) Charley Zhang: good thinking, my brother in Christ
(13:25:47) Charley Zhang: from now on
(13:25:53) Charley Zhang: it'll be mbiC
(13:26:06) Charley Zhang: since we computer science people love acronyms so much

Later when we were saying goodbye, we typed the following:

(13:38:43) Charley Zhang: so good night, mbiC
(13:38:44) htam23: good night, mbiC

No, I do not type all that in 1 second after seeing his message. I do not type that fast.

I was just talking with Charley and he decided to put this passage on his facebook favourite quote. I decided I should record it as well.

(16:10:01) Jed: just tricks
(16:10:09) Jed: that's how life works...
(16:10:14) Jed: (when without a saviour, that is)
(16:10:22) Jed: just tricks
(16:10:36) Jed: the trickery of men and their deceitful scheming...
(16:10:49) Jed: trying to reach the top by stepping on others
(16:11:08) Jed: even Isaac Newton stepped on giants to look farther...
(16:11:10) Charley: lol
(16:11:15) Charley: that's funny
(16:11:16) Jed: at least he got the guts to admit it though :-P

This is interesting:

(23:42:45) htam23: I was really wanting a single room
(23:42:52) htam23: but now I have an awesome roommate
(23:42:53) Yuh-Chi Niou: but now you have an awesome roomate
(23:44:19) Yuh-Chi Niou: we think alike jedi!

Hehe. Note that Yuh-Chi could NOT have typed the message after receiving it.

I am really impressed by my talk with Gary. I think it is very wonderful to have fellowship amongst brothers and sisters in the body. By huamn point-of-view, Gary is a cool guy, and since I dislike cool guys, I would not like to talk to him. On the other hand, I doubt Gary would be interested in talking to me either. However, due to our common belief and the fellowship through our Lord Jesus, we are able to exchange our thoughts and experiences, to edify and encourage. How wonderful it is when brethren live in peace.

I packed a lot today. I altogether put twenty-three (23) boxes of personal stuff up in the attic.
Quoting from IM messages with Steph:

Actually, assuming that my computer clock is correct, or simply using it as a reference point, both of my figures were off by 1.

(23:50:48) htam23: I told Mel that you told me that she told you that I told her the reason why I did not go to the camping trip, yet she could not understand fully my train of thought.
(23:51:25) Sean: wat the....

It has been a pleasure confusing young minds. :-D
