Classic Game - Conan: Hall of Volta

I've searched for it before, don't know why I couldn't find it. But now, Youtube is certainly getting more advantageous.

I've played this game before and I remember I used to love it. The unique part was it has a boomerang involved. Played it only at Steven Chua's house, never had the game. Didn't know how to get it since. Of course, it can easily be downloaded now, I think.

Microsoft Office Document Cache has stopped working

Happens to Office 2016 on Windows 7.

Long solution: keeps repairing / reinstalling MS Office eventually works.

Short solution (work around): rename MSOUC.EXE to MSOUC.EXE.BAT ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSOUC.EXE")

Right-Click > Send To > Mail Recipient Fail

This happens on a Windows 7 computer, with Office 2016. Set Your Default Programs window shows duplicate Office apps, i.e. Outlook & Outlook (Desktop).

After a long online search, I found a solution, though it's just "a work-around (not as a fix to the fundamental problem)".

The solution is to add the MS Office apps path to the PATH environment Variables. In this case: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16

Talkative People Getting Old

I have a theory after observing some old folks getting senile (having hearing problem, unable to discern things, etc.) Be it pride, psychological struggle, there appears to be one common factor: That they talked more than they listen.

I compared an old lady in her 80s to our Prime Minister in his 90s. Big difference. One is sober while the other claim senile. I wish to examine this further, on what it is exactly, this being senile.

You talk more than you listen. You want others to listen to you. You don't want to listen to others. You don't want to analyze what others are saying. You have "learned" to not focus, not pay attention at things.

How a church turns Post-modern

I've said it before, that Rev Laura Lin's CCCNY is the best example I've found, if one is studying the process of how liberal churches like PCUSA and Unitarians come to be.

What troubled me was I could not find any correlation between CCCNY and Redeemer until now, during one of Mefferd's talk show with Tim Littleton where Tim Keller's progressive involvement with groups such as ReVoice is becoming more pronounced.

I thought to myself, why wouldn't Keller care more for his sheep than privately experimenting sleeping with the LGBT community, then it hit me...

Supererogation...thus the sin the likes of Keller and Lin share!!! They are more doing more than they should and doing things they ought not and not doing things they ought!

Probably a good investment: Housing in Keyport, South Amboy, Union Beach

Housing is cheap there now. A good value of around $300k gets a good house on a 5-6k sqrft lot. But commuting to NYC is a pain - roughly $300 monthly train ticket for a 1 hour ride from South Amboy to Penn Station.

The can probably be a secondary house, after we bought a first one. IF, a bridge is built between these areas to connect with the city, I'm sure the property value here will rise exponentially.

memorization of the Book of Psalms

I started this a while back. With the King James Version. I would have reached the middle of the book, had I have more discipline.

Nevertheless, I shan't give up.

I'm at chapter 8 thus far.

So, this is the best way to do it:

  1. As a general rule, memorize a chapter a week. In order.
  2. A chapter is completely memorized only when I could recite it without much thought - as if my mouth have memorized it.
  3. When 7 chapters are completed, re-memorize in the following week, each of the 7 chapters per day, in order; while attempting to memorize a new chapter that same whole week. (So for example, if I have just finished chapter 14, I shall recite chapter 8 on the following Monday, chapter 9 on Tuesday, and so on, while beginning to memorize chapter 15 that same week).
  4. Occasionally, I must visit older chapters for retention.
