Customizable shoes

2010-12-23T00:13:00.000+08:00

You know how different road surfaces means different sole is needed? That means, every-time you go jogging, walking or running, well maybe crawling for some, it means you need to wear the correct shoes accordingly.

Or what about changing your favorite shoe because your soles are worn out? It's a troublesome thing isn't it? Not wanting to change your shoe because you like it so much.

Well, here's the deal. Introducing the all-new (not out on market yet as far as I know it) customizable shoes. Just change the detachable sole and you're good to go. I don't think any shoes/footwear company would want to adopt this idea though - it means less sales for them.

Looking for a new shoe is so difficult, you find the design, the color, the size, the comfort, the anything-else-which-fit-in.

Oh well, companies these days aren't brave enough to try out new things. Looks like we'll have to wait quite a while before it actually comes true.

AFAX - Anime Festival Asia 2010

2010-11-15T12:18:00.007+08:00

This year's AFA wasn't as good as expected. The first was good, last year's was better. But this year, a little horrible. An entry pass of $8 isn't worth it.

Prices of ticket:
2008 - One day pass, $5
Two day pass, $8
2009 - Student price, should be $15 for both days.
2010 - One day pass, $8
One day pass + stage access, $15.

Seriously, the $7 extra isn't worth it.

This year, there were less figures on display than the previous years. I ended up going for 1 day. Expensive, and not worth. This year, there were more foreigners that came to the event that previous years. This year's event probably left a bad impression on them.

However, it isn't all bad. The organizing committee booked a hall specially for cosplayers. Maybe that's why our tickets this year was very expensive. There were quite a few exclusives which I wanted to get my hands on but couldn't. /me OTL

More to come...

Holidays (Part 1)

2010-09-27T08:42:00.001+08:00

It's labelled part 1 in case of a part 2 :D

It's finally holidays again, a period where I start rotting again. Because it's the holidays, my sleeping times have been adjusted to whenever-I-feel-like-sleeping. It can go from 0400 to 1400 hours, or even 0600 to 1500 hours. It's amazing how adaptable the human body is.

And, holidays is the only time when I can stay awake in the morning and sleep through the afternoon. Because of this, I can enjoy the early morning scenery I wouldn't have normally seen. However, today's morning wasn't that good. Either I need new glasses or the PSI for today is a little bad (but acceptable on the scale), and I'm sure it's the latter.

As usual, I like to see small kids going to school - it reminds me of the good olden days. I realized something about school kids these days after observing them.

1) They look like turtles. Yes, turtles. Their bags are filled with so much books. With the ever changing and increasing workload, one day they'll be bring luggages to school. The bags are so heavy, they put so much strain on them. You could see the bag sagging as if there was a bomb in it. Gravity ain't helping them either. Guess it's time we move to next-gen education where students do more learning through the use of a computer. It's pretty common over the horizon, but uncommon here (in primary schools). Singapore needs to move from the medieval ages.

2) They are lazy, real lazy. They drag their feet while walking. Are those legs so heavy that you can't even lift them up properly to walk? Who knows, next time they'll be sitting in wheelchairs instead of walking because they're plain lazy.

- I could say the same for myself; lazy to even blog.

3) Snails. They walk so fast, I can fall asleep looking at them. I'm pretty sure those walking zombies haven't been sleeping well. Their load (weight of their bags), isn't helping but making it worse.

"With the rising cases of adult back pain worldwide it's no surprise that young children can experience back pain as well. Overloaded backpacks can cause back problems for children as young as elementary school age." - Now I know the reason behind my backaches.

Chain Messages

2010-08-12T02:38:00.003+08:00

I love chain messages. Oops, I meant receiving them and not sending them. Sometimes, they are so stupid, I give myself a double facepalm.

"Avoid swimming and ponds, water ghost. Do not turn your head when someone calls you. Do not pick up things from the road including money. Mind your words. Do not play musical instruments after 6.30pm. Do not play music on loudspeaker. Do not sing traditional chinese songs on a junction. If you do not send this to 9 people, there will be someone sitting on your toilet bowl while you shower, there will be someone in the mirror. You will see someone waving to you at your door. There will be someone watching television programs beside you. There will be an illusion of how you die playing non stop. Up to you to believe or not, I'm afraid so I broadcast it.
PS: Do not sent back to the same person and I'm not sorry for sending it to u."

I kind of edited it a little to remove the short forms and added in an extra word. Whoever finds the extra word added in will not get a prize. Please don't ask me for a prize if you can't find it. ^o^ Why couldn't these senders spell out words in full? If they got the money to spam messages, they could at least put in some effort to type them fully.

So I was thinking, this message is kind of funny.

"Do not sing traditional chinese songs on a junction" - So that means I can sing them anywhere else, including spooky places?

"If you do not send this to 9 people" - Why 9, and not 4 or 13? 9 is a good number in Chinese depending how you interpret.

"there will be someone sitting on your toilet bowl while you shower" - I have a squat type toilet bowl. So will the 'someone' squat instead?

" there will be someone in the mirror" - Why of course my dear. If I don't see myself in the mirror, that would be scarier.

"You will see someone waving to you at your door." - Oh, I forgot to mention the altar is facing directly to the door. It even has a player which plays recited mantras 24/7.

"There will be someone watching television programs beside you." - Of course, television time means family time. My mom will probably be sitting beside me.

Singaporeans are naturally born sprinters. (Singlish filled post)

2010-08-08T14:48:00.022+08:00

Singaporeans can run fast. When I mean fast, it's real fast.

Why do I say that?
1. They can run a few hundred meters to their car before the carpark attendant can check their cars for coupon. These scrooges could possibly be Singapore's next top sprinter. They can afford tens of thousands of dollars on a car but cannot afford to pay even a $30 fine.

Look at an example here. Apparently, only the guy's car got fine while others didn't.

"DEAR Mr X, You choose to drive a fancy car but don't tear out a 50-cent parking coupon, then refuse to pay your $30 fine, then cry foul that you're a victim of discrimination."

2. They run to free gifts faster than a ferrari. The moment these kiasu people hear there are free gifts, they would flock there like ants attracted sweet things. And I'm of them. :D

3. They 'siam' fast when there are troublesome tasks to do.

Example:
Teacher: "Can someone volunteer to do -insert something here-?"
Everyone: *Silence*
Teacher: "If no one volunteers, I'm going to pick out."
Everyone: *Prays hard they never kenna*
Teacher chooses some.
They: *Starts making stupid excuses*
They: "Eh, I stomach pain ah, need go toilet." blah blah blah..
Teacher's face: -_-
Teacher: You can complain means you feeling well la, now get going.

Example:
A - "Can anyone help me carry these boxes?"
A turns around.
Everyone 'siam' fast fast.
A turns back and realized everyone 'siam' already.

So, I was thinking. If all these people can 'run' fast, why haven't they win a medal?

Dead... ... Not yet.

2010-07-10T01:42:00.000+08:00

It's been over 2 months since a new post last came out. Thought it would finally be dead, but not quite. Not that I'm wishing that it would be dead.

Over the last 2 months many things happened. Let's see.

1) Preparation for MSTs.

This really took a lot of time. I printed the past year papers, did them and stopped gaming. I can't believe I actually stayed in school until 9pm. The only time I stayed that late was waiting for Ben after Japanese lessons. I love the school when it's at night. The lightings, the cool environment and the wind up at the bridge in the business blocks. At night, the school's internet is fast like a year ago when I just entered. Now that we have the most intake for 10/11, the internet speed is worse than usual. It's a miracle if the speed can even hit 2 mbps at peak hours. At peak hours, the maximum would be from 0.7 to 1 mbps. Maybe I should start staying in school until late hours and leech off the internet and electricity that students paid for. I wonder if mug@moberly is opened. I haven't been there for over half a year already.

2) Mid-Semester examinations.

Everyone's all stressed up during the examination period. At the end of the exam, they would all discuss answers. Would it help if you know your answer is wrong? Wouldn't it dampen your spirits, making you more worried and stressed over how you fared. But, I can understand it, I compare answers too. However, no one really knows the right answer unless that question is really that easy. Come to think of it, SP is a "sure pass" institution. As long as you put in effort, you will pass.

3) Holidays (not really).

Finally, 2 weeks holiday off the busy schedule with lots of events in between. There was a field trip to Marina Barrage (no, not again...). I've been there for so many times, I probably could be the tour guide. Because it was finally holidays, everyone finally found a chance to relax. Someone actually brought a kite along for the field trip. The only thing missing is some snacks and drinks and voilà, you have yourself a picnic trip. Then, we had bbq at Dr. Thian's house again. I'm glad I got to be part of the organizing committee - you get to choose what food goes in, what food goes out.

4) YOG training.

Things are finally picking up during training. Now that YOG is approaching, we have to speed up the trainings. My friend told me that they have not even started their training. Which, kind of contradicts what I just said. Oh well, different section have different speed. And I thought the student facilitators should have more training since they're the first line of 'defense'. I've collected my accreditation pass, uniform and some other little things. Oh, they even gave a free prepaid debit card to go with, and the uniform are from Crocodile. If you go to the web, you'll see a YOG logo on the top right hand corner.

So during this YOG training, there were the translators who we will be working with. Seems like there are more French translators as the official language for YOG is English and French. There was this cute kid, and I'm disappointed in Jome :D

Earth Day

2010-04-22T20:44:00.054+08:00

What's Earth day? If you don't know what it is, either you've been stuck in a cave so long that your brain went moldy or I can't think of anything else. Earth day - A day where people gets more awareness about saving the Earth and mysteriously forgets them the over the next few days.

I bet you people know at least that Earth day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. But, that's all you know right?

Earth day is actually founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970. That day, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment. Denis Hayes, the national coordinator, and his youthful staff organized massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values. [Taken from earthday.net ]

Senator Nelson had conceive the idea after the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill incident. Outraged by the devastation and Washington political inertia, Nelson proposed a national teach-in on the environment to be observed by every university campus in the U.S.

And, I'm lazy to continue. To read more, visit wiki, Earth Day Network or just Google it.

Earth Day in 1970

And like many other corporates, companies, government, schools ... etc, SP went green too. In fact, SP went green a long time ago. SP even has her own green pledge. In 1998, the Green Pledge was written, collectively by the SP Green Committee, led by Dr Ng Cheng Siong.

And in case you were wondering, here is the pledge.

We the staff and students of the Singapore Polytechnic,
pledge to Green our campus,
reduce, reuse and recycle,
educate ourselves on green issues,
encourage others to do likewise,
and nurture a love for our environment
so that we can create a cleaner and healthier home for ourselves and our future.

As usual, I'm rather lazy to explain what happen so, you can just hop by here to see.

After all this words, I still have not come to the point which I wanted to say. As this post is rather lengthy, I guess I'll continue soon or another time.

New term

2010-04-19T20:38:00.022+08:00

It's a new term again! And this year is going to be a horrible year.

The school's overcrowding with freshies (possibly the largest intake in years).
- It takes more than 5min to get out from a station.
- More oxygen robbers.
- Longer waiting time for lunch (provided we can find empty seats), otherwise it's deity mode.
- No empty seats in study corners.
- They have better orientation shirts =x
- Super packed tuna trains.
- No chiobu (Ken said.)
- Vending machines ran out of drinks fast.
- Lags SP's internet.
- Making Jianwen-san look more like a freshie.
- CO2 emissions in SP to a whole new level.
- A hotter SP environment.

I can't think of anything good about them. Oh, maybe the good part about them is that they're cunning foxes. Time will make them reveal their true colors. Dedicated to this year's freshmen. --> ~I see your true colors shining through I see your true colors and that's why I love you so don't be afraid to let them show your true colors~

Nothing better to post eh?

Gaussian Acceleration

2010-03-25T17:34:00.003+08:00

Bleh, I wanted to draw out pictures but I'm too lazy. Besides, videos are better sources of teaching material.

Here's the basic idea.

^Take this experiment using a Gaussian Acceleration device.
A steel ball rows along a rail, striking a row of stationary balls.
As you can see, the last ball is pushed away at the same speed as the striking ball.
The law of energy and momentum conservation.
But now, let's add to the rail a powerful neodymium magnet.
Watch.
Prior to impact, the rolled ball receives instant acceleration from the magnet.
That speed gets transferred to the ball at the end.
(P.S remember to rate and subscribe)

Here's an example.

Random.

2010-03-12T17:35:00.005+08:00

Wanted to update my blog, but since I have ~~nothing~~ to blog about, I decided to update some random things I came across the net. Hmm, how about some oranges for the start (since I have plenty of leftover oranges from Chinese New Year)?

"What happened?"

*shocked* "Oh my God!"

You slut T_T

So, a visitor came over from Belgium with this search term (I so want to go to Belgium).

Fun things... Happy things... They can't all possibly stay unchanged.

If they changed, just find new fun and happy things.

Oh, I added a real-time stat on this page. Hmm, maybe it's time to start planning for the next blog post. Something to do with magnets and iron balls. I don't know.

Google search terms

2010-03-09T22:14:00.003+08:00

I would be biased if I said Google is the best search engine. But, I say that Google is one of the best search engines, you probably can't argue with that. One thing I like about using Google is because of Google's auto-search completion feature. Not that it is a big deal, but the deal is that Google prevents censorship and allows a freedom of speech. Maybe the only censorship is regarding religions, but that, I agree that it should be censored.

So, I was basically searching for a tutorial with the terms, "How to make a flash animation" (planning my next blog post :D) and decided to test out the auto-completion.

As you can see there are differences with each word added. Some all a little inappropriate for minors, but it's still "freedom of speech". It's amazing how people want to know "How to make a {insert gender here] like you", which brings me to the question, "What is love?".

Oh, if you're wondering why did the Google logo changed into the Yahoo! logo, you might want to visit here.

Hygiene.

2010-03-08T23:15:00.026+08:00

See this other day when I was heading for school, there was this guy who was scratching his pimple and it bled. Not that it was my problem, but he was standing quite near to me, and he could have fall down anytime and wiped that on me. And, the problem is he was leaning on the support pole. I don't know whether he was cleaning his blood on the pole, his shirt or his shorts, but, it certainly is a hygiene problem. And, I'm pretty sure he's a University student. This (problem) is something that have to be solved.

You see, millions of commuters take the train each day. And naturally, they would hold the pole for support. But, it makes you think that, "Does SMRT even clean out their trains?". Come on, don't tell me every time you can just hold the pole without worrying about the what the previous user left. He could be cleaning his snot off the pole or in some lunatics case, which I hope I would never come across, licking the pole.

Today, when I was about to hold the pole, I realized that it was 'flooded' by fingerprints. All the sweat, germs and the oil - yucks! I hope SMRT really clean out their trains. Otherwise, they have to start preparing hand sanitizers in the train.

Hygiene is very important.

El Nino

2010-03-06T23:34:00.045+08:00

Brown grass patches, like at this Sengkang field, are a common sight as NParks has stopped routine watering of plants to conserve water. -- ST PHOTO: ALPHONSUS CHERN

Recently, the weather has been very hot isn't it? With average temperatures ranging from 34°C to 36°C, not only the grass patches are burning, even our skin are burning. So, what is the reason behind this heatwave? Apparently, it is partly because of El Nino. But, what is this El Nino I speak of?

El Nino is a climate phenomenon that disrupts weather patterns in many parts of the world, including South-east Asia. It usually leads to drier and warmer conditions in many parts of the region. It occurs across the tropical Pacific Ocean on average every five years, but over a period which varies from three to seven years. It is also best-known for its association with floods, droughts and other weather disturbances in many regions of the world, which vary with each event.

Droughts, yes droughts. That is what we are currently facing. The water which we take for granted of is going to have a shortage if this (drought) continues. Singapore's current dry weather - 5.3mm of rainfall from Feb 1 to 23 - has led to a surge in water usage. About 322.5 million gallons a day were used from Feb 1 to 13. The lowest rainfall for any month was 8.4mm, recorded in February 1968 and February 2005. Seems like we broke the all-time record for having the lowest rainfall in a month. In fact, I can't even remember when it last rained.

Do you know? In this drought, the Mekong River is losing water at a alarming rate of 10cm/day. Read more news here, here and here.

Reset?

2010-03-04T05:32:00.002+08:00

Redid my test blog. It was horrible - filled with spam posts, crappy blog link and crappy titles. Pay it a vist.

Well, I wonder what I should I post in that blog. Anyone has any suggestions? Feel free to spam my shoutbox. =3

Hiccups?

2010-03-01T22:17:00.003+08:00

Define hiccup: A hiccup (pronounced /ˈhɪkʌp/ HICK-up) is an esophageal contraction of the diaphragm that repeats several times per minute. In humans, the abrupt rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close, creating a "hic" sound. For more information, visit here or here.

So that's how it works.

So the other day, I had hiccups. I mean, what's the deal about it? Everyone had it before. But, when the hiccups do not stop, it starts to get worrying. Remember the news about the little girl who could not stop having hiccups? It would be worse than dying if I had that 'illness'. Imagine having 50 hiccups in 60 seconds - (a frequency of 0.83333 Hz =3 ) It's torture, without any physical damage to the body. I thought, what if it did not stop? I wouldn't want to be hiccuping at a rate of 0.833 Hz. Good thing it stopped after 10 minutes or so.

An AED pack.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable electronic device that automatically diagnoses the potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia in a patient, and is able to treat them through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm.

Eh? What about an AED? You know how they wake a dying man up? That's how. But, using it on a 'good' heart would only cause damage. Therefore, you can really feel its effects. But now you can! The next time you're having a hiccup, try lying down on you bed flat and feel it.

Famous art pieces.

2010-02-01T21:23:00.001+08:00

Famous art pieces. They're famous for a reason. But, how many of these 'famous' art pieces can you recognize?

1) The Scream (Norwegian: Skrik; created 1893-1910) is the title of expressionist paintings and prints in a series by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, depicting an agonized figure against a blood red sky. The landscape in the background is Oslofjord, viewed from the hill of Ekeberg, in Oslo (then Kristiania), Norway.

5) Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on April 26, 1937, during the Spanish Civil War. The Spanish Republican government commissioned Pablo Picasso to create a large mural for the Spanish display at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne (1937) Paris International Exposition in the 1937 World's Fair in Paris.

Guernica
Artist: Pablo Picasso

Type: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 349 cm × 776 cm (137.4 in × 305.5 in)
Location: Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid

So out of these 5, how many can you recognize? I could only recognize 4. Seems like people in the past like to use oil as a medium to paint.

Painting styles.

2010-01-31T01:16:00.000+08:00

Hmm, I've been covering on art these few days. Today, I'll be talking about the different styles of painting.

'Style' is used in two senses: It can refer to the distinctive visual elements, techniques and methods that typify an individual artist's work. It can also refer to the movement or school that an artist is associated with. This can stem from an actual group that the artist was consciously involved with or it can be a category in which art historians have placed the painter. The word 'style' in the latter sense has fallen out of favor in academic discussions about contemporary painting, though it continues to be used in popular contexts.

Then, today I'll be showing 3 common styles.

1) Stamping

2) Action Painting

3) Collage

In school, we would have surely used one of these styles during art lessons, especially stamping or collages. Hmm, these coverages make me feel like doing art again. Then again, I guess there's no fine arts club in SP. Even if there is, I'm not good enough to join. *sigh*

Mona Lisa

2010-01-30T20:25:00.007+08:00

Yes, Mona Lisa - the awesome piece of art by Leonardo da Vinci.

Mona Lisa (also known as La Gioconda or La Joconde) is a 16th century portrait painted in oil on a poplar panel in Florence by Leonardo da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance.

I can't believe the image is actually 3.34 MB. Oh well, it's worth it.

Come to think of it, have you heard of something called the "One Day A Page Mona Lisa" before? It's really interesting. Watch the video below to find out.

Isn't it interesting? :D

Pictograms

2010-01-29T17:27:00.010+08:00

Define pictogram : A pictograph (also called pictogram or pictogramme) is an ideogram that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object.

For example:

^ A pictograph warning against swimming because of crocodiles at the Australian Zoo.

And so, I would like to 'test' my readers' thinking process with pictograms. =3

^ What do you think this pictogram is for?

^ Perhaps you need some help?

^ One more clue for you :D

So, after seeing all 3 images, what do you think the answer is?

- And, the answer is...

」

You'll know it at the end of this post.

Pictograms are very useful. They tell us different things and they can even be combined to make a new pictogram.

^ Adding a 'bath' and 'fire', you'll get onsen.

How about you try it this time?

^ Just as it says. Use these two to make a new pictogram.

So, what do you think it will be? How about we see others' views?

^ Um... like this?

^ Now that's something I'll never think of.

^ Wait, I had the same thought! :3

^ Oh well, seems like different people have different thoughts. ^^

And... it's time for the answer.

^ And, there you have it. The answer is, "Public Evacuation Spaces". Anyone got it right?

Hmm... If you ever need help with your art, you can always call the Color Warriors Irodorangers. =w=

Ta-Dah!

Anpan

2010-01-20T01:32:00.007+08:00

Anpan (あんパン) is a Japanese sweet bun filled with red bean paste. I like red beans - anpan, red bean ice cream and probably red bean soup?

What kind of bread do you like? There's so many varieties like melon, cream and curry.

Anpan!

Come to think of it, it reminds me of Nagisa's and Tomoya's first meeting.

Nagisa: Anpan!

Tomoya: *stunned*

Nagisa: Do you like this school? I really, really love it. But nothing can stay unchanged.

Tomoya: *thinks*

Nagisa: Fun things... Happy things... They can't all possibly stay unchanged. Even so, can you keep on loving this place?

Tomoya: Just find them.

Nagisa: *huh*

Tomoya: Just find new fun and happy things. C'mon, let's get going.

あんパン!

つぎのたのしいことうれしいことみつけていいだけだろ。

Inter-species breeding?

Theoretically, breeding across different species is not possible. But reality has shown otherwise. Read the news article below.

A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The calf was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey.

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed Cesarean section on the animal to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the features of the calf’s snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.

“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him so I had to help the animal,” the 29-year-old veterinary said.

The lamb’s head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those of a sheep.

Veterinaries said that the rare mutation most likely occurred as a result of improper nutrition since the fodder for the lamb’s mother was abundant with vitamin A.

In Zimbabwe, a goat gave birth to a similar youngster in September 2009. The mutant baby born with a human-like head stayed alive for several hours until the frightened village residents killed him.

The governor of the province where the ugly goat was born said that the little goat was the fruit of unnatural relationship between the female goat and a man.

"This incident is very shocking. It is my first time to see such an evil thing. It is really embarrassing," he reportedly said. "The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. This is evident that an adult human being was responsible. Evil powers caused this person to lose self control. We often hear cases of human beings who commit bestiality but this is the first time for such an act to produce a product with human features," he added.

The mutant creature was hairless. Local residents said that even dogs were afraid to approach the bizarre animal.

The locals burnt the body of the little goat, and biologists had no chance to study the rare mutation.

The picture of the mutated lamb - doesn't it looks like it's smiling?

If bestiality could produce such a horrible, yet unique species, isn't it possible that an interbreed between humans and animals? If such, maybe folklore creatures will no longer be a myth.

How about an interbreed of horses and humans? A centaur may be produced.

What if it's a hybrid like a chimera? Disgusting, but cool.

Hmm.. not likely.

Question : "Why would people want to go to crowded areas just to see fireworks?"

My answer to that, "I have no idea. Maybe the lights attracts them?"

So, what do you think? Kindly share your comments below. Especially you Jianwen-san, don't every time visit without leaving a footprint.

Recce at the Singapore Zoo.

2009-12-11T22:37:00.010+08:00

"Recce at the zoo? Wait a minute. I didn't quite catch it. What's recce?"

Recce - (Military) Slang word for reconnaissance.

Reconnaissance - The definition is a little...ah, whatever. Basically, it means scouting.

"So, you went to the zoo to scout?" , you may say. Well that's only half right. Sure, we were scouting, but hey, we aren't plotting to do anything bad. So back to the story. We were there to 'look' at the surroundings in preparation to bring kids to the zoo as our Community Involvement Program (CIP) - even though I'm not good with kids.

Going to the zoo makes me feel like a kid again. It has been around 5 years and above since I last went to the zoo. Many things changed, but something definitely did not change - the stench of the animals' droppings, especially the elephant. For some reason, the elephant ride is the stinkiest place in zoo. Oh well, maybe the keepers aren't doing a good job.

Beware of the stink bomb.

25 Nov 2009 - Barbecue Session at Dr. Thian's house.

Tried out some games that were meant for the zoo trip - wasn't that effective though. Most seem so nonchalant about it. But, who cares. After all, we're supposed to have fun today. Can't believe I actually got full from a barbecue session. Guessed Dr. Thian ordered too much food.

Awaiting for Jerome to upload his 208 pictures that were taken by JianWen's professional spamming. Even though Jerome had to delete around 30% of it.

Edit: And there's the last one..

Mou Ikkai! :D

Just as I thought.

Singapore school's sports day is really boring.

No one in the right mind will schedule a sports event in the middle of the afternoon where the Sun is at its peak. It's scorching hot. Besides, in a humid country like Singapore, it doesn't helps. I ended up being sweaty and sticky. What a waste of time!

The thing is, the school had to pick out a few classes, make the event compulsory for them and offer some CCA points for attending. That sounds pathetic. It's as if no one wants to go and see the athletes compete. True, no one would want to go in the middle of the scorching hot afternoon. Anyway, there wasn't even fan installed in the sports complex. So what do they want to do? Try to kill the participants and audience by overheating them? まったく。

Packed like sardines?

2009-11-10T20:30:00.010+08:00

The only way of catching a train I have ever discovered is to miss the train before.

- Gilbert K. Chesterton

The train environment in Singapore is getting worse. According to statistics, Singapore's population in 2009 is 4,987.6 ('000). Look at that amount - it has increased almost by a million since 2000. And that amount is serious affecting the public transport. Everyday, when I take the train, the train is pack with people. It seems as if we've become the minority. That's not the problem. The problem is, that it's so unhygienic. Imagine a train packed to the max with people and suddenly, someone sneezes. In a humid and air-conditioned environment, germs travel faster and multiply faster. It's the same as the bacteria in your mouth. They multiply quick because it's humid, and there's a constant food supply in your mouth. In the trains, humans are the 'containers' for these germs and thus, we get sick as well.

Why does the Earth gets warmed up? It's because of the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere thats trapping the heat. CO2 is one of them. In a packed train, the ratio CO2 to oxygen has increased significantly. Why? Because there's not much air ventilation and it's even worse when it goes underground. There's not much oxygen in the underground. Even if oxygen particles diffuses into the tunnel, it's takes a long time before the oxygen concentration is back to the standard 21%.

Either SMRT needs to increase frequency and speed of the train (because trains are 2-4 mintues apart during peak hours) or, we need to have lesser people which definitely can't be achieved with the rising population rate. Maybe we should have longer trains. One of the ways SMRT did was to remove seats in the train. This might work better if they had more hand bars and support poles. Otherwise, people will start falling on each other, causing their sweat to rub on other people. Eew, body odor.

Paint.NET?

2009-11-09T23:41:00.006+08:00

“Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.”

-Harvey MacKay

Tried using Paint.NET for the first time today. Kind of tricky since I'm lazy to explore the keys. Instead, I went to search for a tutorial and found this interactive guide here. It's quite useful, so try it if you're deciding to use it. Oh, and remember that the eraser button erases the picture to transparent rather than the secondary color, unlike other editors.

Actually, Windows 7 paint feature is also very useful. However, you can't create layers with it so it's a little troublesome when dealing with many layers. Personally, I would recommend Paint.Net if you need an image editor. It's comparable to photoshop, and it's FREE! Yups, you've heard that right. It's FREE! So get yours here today :D

Did a little testing and got so results. The picture of Len from the previous post was edited with Paint.NET. If you're thinking why the timestamps doesn't tally, I kind of played with it. Besides, it's a bother updating several times a day if you update your blog on the same day. You'd probably end up with more posts to make and spending more of your precious time.

Tried convincing myself that money isn't everything, but could only succeed halfway. If you think friendship,love..etc is more important than money, you're wrong. The most important other than health is time. You can't buy time with money. Unlike health, you can get yourself some medicine with money (except for terminal illness). Time is everything. If you have time, you have money. You can always earn money if you have the time. Even if you're the richest man, woman, cat, dog or whatever, you can't buy time with money. You can't possibly tell God, "God, please give me more time. I'll pay it with my money."

What to do? Just rot.

2009-11-08T22:58:00.005+08:00

Lots of project recently. Projects = team. And a team needs to have meetings before further work can be done. So while waiting, I'll guess I'll rot.

Then again, instead of rotting, I tried googling for what I can do. Did some er, "music research" and am enjoying listening to them on my phone. I wanted to try studying programming again. Maybe I could end up like Danny Choo in the future (yeah right, like that's going to happen -_-), but I don't know how to go about it. See, there are many different types of programming language. What if I learn a language that is not going to be much use in the future? Wouldn't it be a waste of time? (Like rotting isn't a waste of time.) And, I don't even have a single clue on how to go about it, like the software used and the basics. What's worse, I might end up screwing my computer. Anyway, I've kind of 'mastered' katakana. Not much of mastered, by at least I can remember how to write them and might take a little time to recognize them.

Anyway, the list of Cospa items that are for sale in AFA09 is out. Not all, but still, it's better to head down there to check it on that day. Seems like the entrance queue is going to be long. I can foresee lousy campers 'camping' outside Suntec Convention Centre on Friday night. Guess they'll stink the AFA09 if they do that. Still have not decide whether to buy the AFA09 official t-shirt. I wonder what goodies you could win if you were spotted by the organizers.

The McDonalds Monopoly Game?

2009-11-03T19:45:00.005+08:00

Buy any Extra Value Meal and get game pieces. Collect the set of same colored game pieces and win! It's that simple.

Recently, McDonald's has started their monopoly game in Singapore. From what I've know, this game has been long existing in the US a long long time ago. There's even events (frauds) dating back to 1995. Read more about the game's history here.

Back to the game in Singapore. To date, there's already 3 winners - 2 32GB Touchscreen MP3 Player (though they never specify the brand) and a Samsung 40" Full HD LCD TV. Check out the winners here.

Oral Ulcers

2009-11-02T19:21:00.002+08:00

"Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning."

- Thomas Jefferson

I've got a pretty bad ulcer, somewhere on the other side of my right cheek. Hate it, but what to do? It's part of growing up. So instead of grumbling, reading up on it would be the best.

Wiki definition - An oral ulcer is the name for the appearance of an open sore inside the mouth caused by a break in the mucous membrane or the epithelium on the lips or surrounding the mouth.

So, it case you've never got/seen an ulcer before, here's how it looks like. Took it from wiki as well.

After reading through the article which you can find it here, I found out my ulcer was caused through a physical injury. The accidental hit from the toothbrush must have caused it. What a pain in the ass!

Amazingly, one of the ways to cure it was to rinse the mouth out with brine (warm salted water) - and I thought it was no more than a unproven remedy. Still, I wouldn't way it to heal through this way. I think it's better to leave it by itself. Seems like I have to skip lunch for a week or so. Just hope I have enough money for AFA09 :D

Tuesdays - Probably the worst day or the week.

2009-10-20T20:05:00.004+08:00

"It's not your aptitude, it's your Attitude that determines your altitude in life!"

A new module for the start of the day. Just like other modules, the teacher spent a lot of time on boring stuffs. I think he took up about an hour or so. And I was so interested in a new module. Seems like this module isn't going to work out for me. We learnt how to draw the Doraemon and mine ended like some weirdo.

Time goes by and soon it was time for Digital Electronics. I'm starting to lose interest in this module. It's either the module is boring or I'm not putting any effort. I think it's both. I'll try to put in effort, but first, I need to be like a few months ago when I was interested in this module. Anyone got any tips to make yourself interested in a subject?

Then, we had lunch at McDonalds. The prices were not what I expected. The Mega Mcspicy costs $0.30 more than the McValue Lunch's prices. I ended up buying even though I was trying to persuade myself from not buying it. Maybe it's was just a sudden craving. While queuing to make my order, I saw Angelina. It's has been a few months since I last saw her. I'm glad she looks as happy as ever.

After lunch, It was time for Maths lesson - my least favourite subject. We had a change of teacher and I think this teacher teaches better. At least I'm definitely learning something. I wonder if it's me or my teacher really look somewhat like Drew Carey - the host for the game show "The Price Is Right".

^ Just give him black hair and a grumpy look and he'll look like my maths teacher. We all know maths makes one go grumpy. Even the most cheerful person can turn into a grouch after dealing with maths everyday. Give him a break and soon he'll have that smile like Drew Carey.

New Semetrial Term.

2009-10-19T20:54:00.006+08:00

"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn."

- Ignacio Estrada

New term, new teachers and new subject. The 6 weeks long holiday has finally ended.

Woke up and went to school early today. When I was there, there were around 6 classmates who have already arrived. I thought they might be excited about the new school term but it seems so otherwise. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't do much during the holidays. Boy, I was glad to see them again since the class meet which was supposed to be held during the holidays were cancelled. It's weird, but I can say that I've definitely missed them.

One thing I hate about new semesters is that the teachers spent time going through the module map and about how the lesson is planned and so on. Not that I don't want them to waste time, but, don't waste it on something which is both physically and mentally draining. Hearing something of no particular interest is enough to bore someone to death.

And so it seems that we'll be learning about capacitors this week. I had to answer the call of nature at a wrong time, right when the teacher was demonstrating how to do the experiment. I didn't even have a single clue on how to use the function generator or the oscilloscope. Maybe I knew how to use the generator but, without the oscilloscope, it's useless. Good thing Shao Jie came to my rescue. Thanks!

As usual, for the PEEE lecture, Mr. Sudhir went about elaborating more about the module map and some things and stuff. I almost died of boredom throughout the lesson. But still, learning was important. So, I had to try to stay awake as much as posssible.

Finally, it's time for the next module - TCS (Teamwork and Communication Skills). I never thought I would say this, but, I think I'm beginning to like this module more. Maybe it's because a different teacher is teaching us, meaning a different style/method of teaching. I think it even has to do with the location. The previous one used to have a smell which I was kind of sensitive to. The current is better as it has brighter lightings and the class glass windows and doors makes the room much more comfortable, making it a conducive learning environment.

GEMs - General Elective Module.

2009-10-12T12:27:00.001+08:00

After much consideration, I decided to take "Everyday Chemical Hazards". The class size is fine though, not too much, not too little. It's horrible - A class of 40 in poly is pathetic. It's only for 1 semester. Guess I'll just have to deal with it.

I wanted to take "Genes and You" or "GM foods" initially. But looking at my depressing biology results, I decided not to and rather take something which may aid in my life in future, I guess (though I wished they had a cooking or a baking class).

Oh, about the Natsu Matsuri 2009 post, I don't think I'll be filling it up. Guess I'm just lazy. Anyone up for a mah-jong session? Japanese mah-jong would be fine since I'm still learning, though mah-jong on Viwawa.com doesn't seems to be that bad after all.

It sounds good, but...

2009-09-26T04:05:00.003+08:00

it isn't what it's really like.

A GPA of 3.83.

Sounds good isn't it? Yeah, I know. But not when there's only 2 modules that make up the score. Many other people could be getting as high as me or even higher. There's a saying, "There's always someone that's better than you." Apparently, it's true.

I wonder how I did for my Maths. Hope it's not that much of a shock.

Note: No, there is no sarcasm in this post and I am not boasting. I'm dead serious. But I'm not dead yet though...

I can't really find a picture that describes my thoughts. It's difficult to imagine without that picture. I don't even exactly know what kind of picture I want, but if it's the right picture, I'll sense it. Maybe it's fate that this post would be left blank.

Dreams. 夢。

2009-09-12T23:30:00.005+08:00

Recently, I've been having a lot of different dreams. Not like those dreams where you aspire to be a minister or a businessman, but rather, those dreams you get when you are sleeping. If it was a bad dream, we would call it a nightmare.

So lately, I've been having dreams with murder scenes, family issues, school work and every little bits of life.

Once, I remembered seeing an old $200 Singapore dollar. But in reality, such a note did not exist. I wonder if I was just in my dreamy land or so with $200 notes as being the currency. Next, I saw a murder scene in my dream. I wasn't even watching CSI that night, and I don't watch CSI. The victim was horrifically murdered, but I just don't feel anything. Well, at least it's better than sleepwalking so that I won't go around stabbing someone in the chest with a knife or plunging from my window to my death. The only bad thing about it was that these dreams make me sleep long periods of time so I would tend to sleep until noon when I wanted to wake up early. Seems like these harmless dreams had an effect in real life as well.

So I was curious and tried searching on the web for "Meanings of dreams". There were tons of crap readings which I ended up wasn't being interested in and gave up finding the meaning of those dreams. Wonder if there are any dream interpreters which might know the meaning of these dreams and like to share them with us?

Oh, speaking of which, I remembered a joke about dreams. Not really good at telling jokes, so the story structure might a sound little weird. Sorry if you've heard/read it before.

「There was a couple who were celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary. On the day of the anniversary, the wife said to the husband. "Dear, last night I dreamt about you giving me a diamond ring for our 10th wedding anniversary," said the wife, "I wonder what that means." The husband replied, "Oh, I get it. You'll know it when I come home this evening." The wife thinking that her husband got the hint went shopping for groceries to specially cook for him this evening.

That night, the husband came back with a gift. But the gift wasn't what the wife expected. It was bigger and had a retangular shape to it. The wife thought her husband had bought her a necklace instead as times were really bad for them. The wife happily opened the present. And this was what she got.

A book titled "The Meaning of Dreams."」

Oh well, if only my dream about striking the lottery was real. Looks like I'm rich, in my dreams though. Anyone need needs a loan in dreamy land currency can approach me. -_-

Good night~

Sweet dreams, they say.

2009-09-10T23:35:00.004+08:00

Hmm.. nothing worth mentioning these few days. Let me share something.

Top 10 Typical MRT Commuters

10. The Opportunist
Sometimes you get the oddball who upon finding that there are no more available seats, decides to improvise by sitting right on the floor itself.

Never mind that there are throngs of people all around you looking over your head, and certainly never mind how crowded it is and people have trouble getting on.

Afterall, your comfort comes first right?

9. Mirror Mirror On The Wall
Usually seen in the morning if the person manages to get a seat. Following which would the entire bag of toiletries be emptied out, and a meticulous grooming that would put a cat to shame would follow.

It’s really quite amazing. It’s like watching a reality television series of Makeover, where this ghastly pale thing with blurry features manages to transform into a relatively human looking female with distinct looking eyes, noses, cheeks and lips.

While generally this is more prevalent in the female of the species, Yours Truly have seen the male version of it preening away in the reflection of the glass windows.

“Metrosexual” indeed.

8. I’m In Love
Yes we have all seen them. The so-obviously-in-over-that-they-couldn’t-keep-their-hands-off-each-other type. Their love for each other is so great that it simply just overflows and they must shove it… I mean “share” their affections with the rest of the world.

“I mean why aren’t you happy for me? I’m in love! You should be happy for me right? Please don’t be jealous because your love life sucks and you just got dumped. Really. Be happy for me please… here… see I’m deep French kissing now… my love… oh my love… oh yes… touch me here…”

Darling!!! Get a room please!!!

7. Crash Test Dummies
These people seemed to be living in a separate dimension from us. They appear to be totally oblivious to everyone and everything around them. From screaming kids right next to them to the busy necking couple in the corner to even Mas Selamat doing a cha-cha dance right before them.

When you look at them, you get the sense that they are actually looking through you. Quite a scary thought. Perchance they are some sort of dummies?

6. Days Of My Life
You know the ones I’m talking about. Often seen in toll with a hapless friend. I’m referring to those who yak so loudly that you are forced to hear that their Aunt’s second cousin twice-removed’s colleague’s sister-in-law’s nephew’s friend’s brother is having an affair with some cross-eyed midget and is wanting to get married because…

Because we are so interested right?

And should the hapless friend accessory not be available for their daily broadcast, you can be sure the handy mobile phone would do just as well.

5. Sleeping Beauty
One of the most common sights in the train, this breed have truly mastered the art of snoozing while being hampered on both sides by strangers, and being surrounded by virtual strangers, and remain totally deep in slumber that nothing can wake them up. A bear’s hibernation is nothing compared to them when they can apparently sleep through some squalling kid three seats away.

Then there’s also the pseudo Sleeping Beauties who automatically go into their “sleeping” mode whenever a pregnant or elderly person comes on the train. There must be some narcoleptic aura emitting about from the pregnant and the geriatric folk that we don’t know about.

Maybe that’s why my head starts to get heavier whenever my grandparents start to talk about the good old days.

4. Jellyfish, Octopus and Sea-Cucumber!

Jellyfish Octopus and Sea-Cucumber
Oh no no I’m not talking about some delectable delicious dish that we are so familiar with. I am referring to our next set of stereotypes, who somehow were born without a skeleton, but yet manages to hold themselves upright and function like a vertebrate.

These are the ones who commonly attached themselves lovingly to the pole like how a barnacle encrusts itself to the body of a whale. No matter how much you try to dislodge them, they remain obstinately plastered to the pole. Believe me Yours Truly have tried holding onto the pole wearing some fantastic sadomasochistic looking rings to no avail. Jellyfish simply leans onto pole and ring & spikes.

Evidently they feel no pain either. Very interesting species indeed.

3. The Saints

In spite of so much ugliness going on in the train, you can always be sure there will be a shinning beacon of decency in that someone.

This is the person who will willingly give up his seat for the people in certain conditions without fail. This is also the person who will not hog the tiny path and this is also the person who does his or her best to be as considerate as ever.

It is such people that make travelling in the MRT actually quite worthwhile.

2. Speedy Gonzales

You see this every morning and every evening. When the doors to the train opens, in or out they rush straight away. Absolutely nothing stands in their way of getting the glorious throne even if it means having to claw, elbow and shove anyone out of their path.

Woe betide if you get in the way; a stampeding herd of wildebeests could do lesser damage than these harpies.

1. I… I See… Dead People

There is something about the public transportation in Singapore that is unclean. And apparently most if not all Singaporeans can see ghosts. You might be shaking your head in disbelief as you read this part, but I assure you it is all very true.

How else can you explain that eerie emptiness in the middle of every cabin while the area immediate around the doors are more packed like sardines in a can?

Or Singaporeans have a seventh sense that the rest of the world do not have? Perhaps they can see “dangers” in the middle of the cabins, like H1N1??

So which stereotype do you belong to? Don’t be shy! There’s nothing wrong identifying yourself with any of those in the list. There is no shame in it! Really!

Just wanted to share.

Things you will not learn in school

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

The second day!!

It's not that much of a growth, but it's growing :D

And, today's Maths was horrible. I hope I'd pass it though.

First day of its growth :D

2009-08-23T22:59:00.001+08:00

I've started planting a tree through here.

To start planting a tree, follow the instructions on the website.

This tree is in it's first day. Watch it grow everyday! :D

夏祭り２００９年８月２２日

2009-08-22T23:28:00.001+08:00

It's so fun today. Met up with team members at Tanah Merah MRT station at 1pm. Sadly, our sad sad leader was later so it was 1.10pm by then. Bus came just on time and we reached Japanese Primary School (Changi) at 1.30pm. We were supposed to start helping at 2.30pm and we came an hour earlier. Still, watching the surroundings of the school makes me felt as though I had no childhood.

Firstly, there's 2 swimming pool in that school. I can't even see a swimming pool in my school until in Polytechnic.
Second, the school campus is really big. It's comparable to 3-4 ordinary schools in Singapore.
Third, they have a playground, a tennis court and a very big field. Even their slide is near to 3 meters long.
Fourth, they have a lift for their 3 storey high school.
Lastly, the overall is just so awesome. They even have soft drinks machines. Who said about drinking healthily?

TO BE CONTINUED.... CHECK BACK LATER FOR MORE.

Just want to share a song with you.

「メルト」を歌ってみた（男性用キー上げVer.）

To download the song, go HERE.

Fed up with telemarketers? Fear not.

2009-07-25T11:05:00.004+08:00

Hmm.. nothing interesting is happening these few days so i'm going to post what you can do if a freaking annoying telemarketer calls you on your phone.

1. Say nothing until he/she hangs up.

2. Pretend to be really interested. Then hang up.

3. Order a large hawaian pizza, some garlic bread, and a Pepsi.

4. Claim to be the police department. Say, "This is the Police department. How may I help you?"

5. Claim to be the casket seller. Say, "This is the casket shop. How may I help you?"

6. Speak a foreign language.

7. If you do #6 and the telemarketer gets a person who speaks the language you used, speak another language, use a made up language, or say that you were speaking English the whole time.

8. Say, "Help! I'm being robbed! He's got a gun!"

9. Try to sell the telemarketer something.

10. Eat something. Chew loudly, make slurping noises, and talk with your mouth full. If you want pretend that you are choking.

11. Tell them you don't understand what they are saying in the language they to talk you in.

12. Crap with them if you're really bored.

13. If all these do not satisfy you, divert their calls to any fast food restaurants next time. Never divert them to emergency numbers - not only you are wasting resources, you might find yourself being slammed with a lawsuit as well.

今日スポーツの祭典楽しいですね。。。

7月19日（日）に行われました。

Woke up late today. Rushed to clementi with ben to attend the Japanese Sports Festival organised by JAS. When we got to Clementi, i realized that i freaking forgotten to bring the paper with directions written on it. "Always trust your first instinct" Ben didn't trust mine and brought me walk in another direction where the bus don't even go that direction. Luckily, we found the bus interchange which was at the direction i said. Luckily, we didn't have to wait long for the bus to arrive. Even so, we're already late.

Pandan loop is such a confusing place. We ended up alighting 2 stops earlier and walked for quite a distance =_= When we arrived, it was quite a different event from what I imagined. In Singapore, our sports day ended up with athletes running while we sat there, wasting precious time. But for the Japanese, it's a totally different event. Everyone has to take part at least in 2 events and it was really fun. It has been more than 5 years since i took part in a sports event. But, since we're late, some of the events already took place T_T We started with the "9 people 10 legged race". We did not practice, but still got second, from the back. It was quite an achievement hor! Even if you did not win, they will give you a coupon to exchange it for your "participating gift".

We then had a Swedish relay which we got last, but, we still got a gift as usual.

^ The gift from the Swedish Relay - It was a pen, but not those budget type la. I wonder which place did those boys get in order to get Calvin Klein items as rewards, even though it looked like a facial mask.

Soon, it was lunchtime (昼休み). We had a real Japanese bento set which was very much different from those you buy in school, yoshinoya...etc. It was flooded with ingredients, literally. There were eggs, gyoza, salmon, teriyaki chicken, so other chicken again, egg salad, some other ingredients which i cannot remember and fruits as usual. After lunch, there wasn't much race as it was all the finals. I was looking forward to the bread eating/catching competition using your mouth. It was something like this:

^ This is for illustration purposes only -_-

And,

^ This is the ticket.

They didn't really collect the ticket, so everyone could take part. I realized it was something that they will do after every sports festival? Not really sure though, but it was fun!

^ This was the bread i managed to grab. It was filled with Azuki bean paste.

Whew.. I'm so glad the IDEAs project is finally over. I can't believe despite performing of so many people before during that sivouplait incident, I still have stage frights. Maybe a little more presentations might solve the problem, but, I hate giving presentations -_-

To think that there's another presentation on the same thing this Monday because we are graded on our presentation skills for "Teamwork and Communication Skills" module. Didn't see which part of TCS needed presentation. Let's hope the best for Monday.

T: がんばってください！
Y: はい。がんばります！

日本語のクラスは毎木曜日です。。。

2009-07-16T23:54:00.000+08:00

Thursday, another boring day if spent without a laptop. When is my laptop going to be fixed?! I'm waiting...

Called them today and they said the part just arrived from USA. I bet it's "Made in China". Hope they'll fixed it by next Thursday because there's going to be a structured programming lab test. Why is there even a lab test when the previous lab test results are not known to us yet?

We did a a lot of last minute research and touch up on the presentation for IDEAs which was due on Friday and it carries a weightage of 70% if I'm not wrong, and, we've only got a week to do it. Luckily, we already had a good idea of what to do. Hope everything goes well tomorrow.

Today's Japanese Lesson was a little boring. I almost slept since I was tired and very hungry. I could feel my stomach grumbling. As soon as the lesson was over, I had "chicken with raisin race" from the Thai Cuisine stall in FC4. Mmm..it was delicious and filling. But, even after I finished my dinner, I'm still a little hungry. Wonder why but this few days I get hungry easily. Maybe I got gastric problems?

A double facepalm for missing cosfest :(

2009-07-13T21:35:00.001+08:00

Yes! I've missed cosfest this year again -_- In total, this year is my 3rd year skipping it. Hooray for the streak! o.o

So today Mike-kun was showing me the cosplay pictures. Damn, i wished I was there. IT was simply awesome. Too bad I couldn't go. Anyway, we started talking about yaoi and yuri. For some reason, it was heading towards the wrong direction, but who cares. So typically girls would like yaoi and boys would like yuri, that's for sure, unless...it's more of a personal matter >.<

And,

Mike-kun was sharing about how many tens of GBs his club mates have of yaoi, **** and ****** which isn't suitable for young viewers like you who's reading this right now. I was like OMG! Minors shouldn't really have these kinds of things o.o

Zack told me something amusing today. You know what the MARS bar stands for? It stands for...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Men are really sexy. LOL!

And, in case you don't know what's a MARS bar, you really need to try it now! It's heavenly awesome. The chocolate, the caramel and the nougat..mmm

Hiatus over?

2009-07-07T23:19:00.003+08:00

This is my first post after, umm..., 23 days.
Many things have past during these 23 days.

1. The water festival was kind of fun. I can't believe I enjoyed so much during that 2 days, even though it was still a school event.

2. The holidays are finally over. I "wasted" it by watching animes. Though it wasn't really wasted since I managed to complete so series which I've put off for quite some time.

3. R.I.P Michael Jackson. The first song I like should be "Blood on the dance floor", - I even when to search for the lyrics.

4. Transformers. I'm not going to comment on it since I haven't watched it yet, - not really interested in mecha, though the CGs seems good to attract me.

5. 28 June - Happy Birthday Ben! I waited for you to call me to ask me out, but you didn't >.<

6. 1 July - Happy birthday Limin! Though I thought doomsdays was approaching on this day :P

7. MST is over. Think I'll do badly for Engineering Maths - it's the same as Additional Maths =_=

8. Laptop is being serviced at Fujitsu support centre. Takes 2 weeks for the LCD to reach Singapore. Hope they fix it ASAP, and no lab tests when my laptop isn't ready yet.

9. I finally got back my Structured Programming and Digital Electronics paper. It was better than I expected, but, let's not get to complacent.

10. Today's the worst day for me. I almost died of boredom since it's Tuesday. The timetable for Tuesdays really suck. Slept in Maths lecture, - but i did do my work. Slept a little in Digital Electronics lecture. But hey, i didn't get my coffee break. At least i understand - that's the point.

11. No school tomorrow - Mr. Sudhir is a responsible lecturer. To show that he takes care of his students, he took sick leave when he was sick so as not to pass his illness to us.

12. Is currently playing "Hatsune Miku Project Diva". For those who don't know, Hatsune Miku is a character, or rather, a mascot from Vocaloid. Nope, it's not an anime.

#Define Vocaloid. Vocaloid - Vocaloid is a singing synthesizer application software developed by the Yamaha Corporation that enables users to synthesize singing by just typing in lyrics and melody.

Hatsune Miku Project Diva gameplay demo.

13. I came across this film that I want to watch if it ever comes to Singapore. Otherwise... *turns head to look to torrent listings*

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.
-A timeless story of innocence lost and humanity found.

You can read finish the synopsis if you want to, if you think you can.
" officer Ralf (David Thewlis) and his wife Elsa (Vera Farmiga) have a twelve-year-old daughter, Gretel (Amber Beattie), and an eight-year-old son, Bruno (Asa Butterfield). The well-to-do family must move to the "countryside" when the father is promoted (to Obersturmbannführer). Unknown to Bruno, the new house is near a Nazi concentration camp, and Ralf is the new commandant. Bruno initially dislikes the new house as he always has to stay in the house or the garden; also there are no other children to play with, apart from his sister. From his bedroom window, Bruno spots a barbed wire fence with people in "striped pyjamas" behind it. Though he thinks it is a farm, it is the camp with Jewish people in their camp clothing. Bruno is forbidden to go there, because according to Ralf, "they're not really people"; it is agreed that at least they are a bit weird, as demonstrated by their clothing.

Bruno goes there anyway, secretly, and becomes friends with a Jewish boy, named Shmuel (Jack Scanlon), whom he meets at the fence, and who is the same age. Shmuel tells Bruno that he is a Jew and that the Jewish people have been imprisoned here by soldiers, who also took their clothes and gave them the striped camp clothing, and that he is hungry. Bruno is confused and starts having doubts about his father being a good person. Later, he is relieved after seeing a propaganda film about the camp (that is a parody of Theresienstadt). Bruno often returns to the fence. He brings Shmuel food and plays draughts (checkers) with him through the fence.

An elderly Jewish man named Pavel (David Hayman) is a servant in the family home; he is treated rudely by Ralf's adjutant, Obersturmführer Kotler (Rupert Friend). Formerly a doctor, Pavel mends Bruno's cuts when he falls off his homemade tire swing.

Ralf hires Herr Liszt (Jim Norton) to tutor Gretel and Bruno, although in reality he is brainwashing them with anti-Semitic Nazi propaganda. Gretel is very responsive to this and becomes an even more fanatical Nazi than she already was, also because she likes Kotler. However, Bruno is bored and also confused, since Shmuel and Pavel are friendly.

In the meantime, Elsa notices a strange smell that she keeps noticing outside their house just as Lieutenant Kotler walks past. Kotler, thinking Elsa knows what really goes on in the camp, says to her "They smell even worse when they burn," Elsa, who thought that the camp was a labour camp and not a death camp, is shocked and quarrels with Ralf about it, and ultimately breaks down.

Kotler is blamed by Ralf and Ralf's visiting father (who is also a firm Nazi) that he failed to report that his father emigrated to Switzerland some time ago, as opposed to contributing to the "national revival". Frustrated, Kotler responds to a small accident by Pavel of spilling some wine by beating him up severely; Pavel is not seen in the house any more. Later in the film, Maria, the maid, is shown cleaning up blood from where Pavel was beaten up.

Shmuel appears in the house as a new servant and, in his joy, Bruno gives him a cake to eat. However, Kotler starts yelling at Shmuel for speaking with Bruno and stealing food. Shmuel tells the officer that Bruno is his friend and that he gave him the cake. Frightened, Bruno denies, adding that he does not know Shmuel. The soldier tells Shmuel that they will later have "a little chat about what happens with rats who steal". Shmuel is not seen in the house anymore, and at first not at the fence either. Finally, Shmuel is at the fence again, with an injured right eye. Bruno apologizes. Shmuel soon forgives Bruno and they become friends again. Kotler is later sent to the front for not advising his superiors of his father's opposition to the Nazi regime.

Elsa decides to move away with the children; Ralf agrees, and tells Bruno that Elsa does not feel that the area is a good place for children to grow up. Bruno does not want to leave anymore, because of his friend Shmuel.

Shmuel tells Bruno that his father is missing. Bruno gives him the bad news that he will be moving away for good the next day after lunch. Wanting to make up for letting Shmuel down and unaware that his father has likely been murdered, Bruno agrees to help Shmuel to find his father, and returns the next day with a shovel to dig a hole under the fence to get into the camp, while Shmuel will bring an extra set of camp clothing; Shmuel's suggestion that he could leave the camp through the hole is rejected by Bruno, who focuses on the target of finding the father.

Bruno changes his clothes and wiggles under the fence, and is now in the camp with Shmuel. Bruno comes to realize that the camp is completely the opposite of what he saw in the propaganda film and wants to return, but Shmuel encourages him to continue helping to find his father. While they look in Shmuel's hut a group of guards and Kapos arrive and march all those inside (including Bruno and Shmuel) to a low concrete building. The men and boys are made to undress, supposedly for a shower, packed together into a gas chamber, and killed.

In the meantime, Elsa warns Ralf (who is in a meeting about increasing the capacity of the crematorium) that Bruno is missing. With Gretel, they run to the camp and try to find him. They find Bruno's clothes next to the hole under the fence. Ralf runs throughout the camp and discovers an empty hut, and, reaching the gas chamber, concludes that Bruno has been brought to the gas chamber with a group of Jews. Pavel is also seen undressing near the boys and he looks at them and then turns away. When Ralf arrives, the boys are already dead and he is devastated. Upon hearing Ralf's cry of "Bruno!" Elsa and Gretel realise what has happened and are equally devastated. A last shot showing the undressing room with many camp uniforms reminds the viewer that the tragedy is not just Bruno, Shmuel and Pavel's deaths, but that of many other Jewish people during the holocaust of World War II."

It has been a really long week. Though it's the first week of my holidays, many things happened. Not going to talk about it, nor going to comment about it.

Went to the IT fair with Joseph today. Somehow, the crowd seems to be lesser than March's IT fair. Well, there was definitely a crowd. Today, i accidentally stepped on someone's foot. I said sorry already and guess what? She called me an asshole. Screw you! I already said sorry, if you want, i can even let you step me back. I hope you freaking rot in hell and get your tongue disintergrated by laser or better yet, acid. The problem is, you are bound to be stepped on in a very crowded place. If she don't want to be stepped, why not wear those fishing boots or freaking stay at home and be a guard dog..

Then, we went to the esplanade to see the arts. I was "picked", unforturnately, be Sivouplait. They were doing their "A Silent Couple in Humorous White". I wanted to reject them, but so many people is freaking looking at me >.< I'm so nervous. Never ever did i performed in front of so many strangers before. And i got a carrot for my hard work -_-'''

^ Sivouplait -_-

Hmm.. i was thinking about how good if we could have song lyrics without connecting to the internet or opening any programs. Then, i thought that why don't we have "pictures of lyrics"?

So, i tried making a prototype.

Made a careless mistake on structured programming test today. Oh well, no use crying over spilled milk. But, i hope i'll be able to get a GPA of 4.0 for that test.

Because the of the test, the lesson ended an hour earlier. Around 7=9 of us went to Moberly. First time having so many classmates going together to relax. Chatted about a lot of rumors and gossips. Time passed and soon it was left with Zack and Me. JuiHao came to Moberly since his lesson ended early as well. Somehow, i think i saw JuiHao before even meeting him in Japanese lesson. I think i saw him with BengKiong the other day. Ah~ no use prying into stupid things. The truth will come out eventually though, not that there was much truth to be released.

Saw Aaron and his friends at Moberly too. They were playing cards. I'm sure the rule "No playing of cards games in school" didn't apply cause i don't like the rule either.

Ben went to Moberly to look for me, but i was heading towards CASS already.. Too bad - zannen. Stumbled a little during the oral, but i think i should be able to pass.

Mrs Pruned-face finally remembered my name. Thanks to Zack shouting my name so loudly. I finally heard her call my name 3 times.. IT'S A MIRACLE!

2009-06-01T00:31:00.002+08:00

Didn't need to school so early cause Jason Li said today was an optional lesson. In fact, i don't think anyone went for it.

Mr.Sudhir told us to bring our laptops cause he said he's going to teach us use MultiSim. In the end, we ended up doing some exercises he gave us. My laptop isn't that light ok o.o

Mrs Pruned-face didn't remember my freaking name again! I'm starting to lose all faith in her remembering my name. I'm not going to say anymore. T_T

2009-05-29T23:56:00.003+08:00

Watched "The Inconvenient Truth" today. Good thing Dr.Thian played it while he went for a meeting. Saves me time from watching it at home during my spare time. I downloaded the movie a few weeks ago, but didn't had the time to watch it. I was filled with a lot of facts, but some of them were what I had anticipated. This video is a very good, no - not very good, but rather, an excellent piece of work. It creates awareness and fills unawared humans with right and accurate information.

Had lunch with JianWei, LiMin and WaiSan today. Tried the "Chicken Delights" stall and it wasn't all that bad. Had the 湯圆 from FC4 finally. Always wanted to try it, but never had the chance - they only sell it on Tuesday and Friday.

LiMin didn't finished her food today. Even food inflation prices couldn't stop her from wasting food. Think of all the starving people in SA.

Hunger statistics
1. There were 923 million hungry people in the world in 2007, an increase of 80 million since 1990, despite the fact that the world already produces enough food to feed everyone - 6 billion people - and could feed double - 12 billion people.
2. On the average, a person dies every second as a result of hunger - 4000 every hour - 100 000 each day - 36 million each year - 58 % of all deaths (2001-2004 estimates)
3. On the average, a child dies every 5 seconds as a result of hunger - 700 every hour - 16 000 each day - 6 million each year - 60% of all child deaths (2002-2008 estimates)

Had a very bad headache and fever after eating the 湯圆. Maybe i just didn't had enough sleep. Went to the food expo at night. It made me freaking smelly - RAWR

2009-05-28T23:35:00.006+08:00

Today's a very interesting day.

I almost skipped the first lesson as I could not wake up in time. I was like, "Ah~ late late lor, the most don't go.." It was then when i realized Zack's homework was with me, so, I had to drag myself out of my bed reluctantly.

Something funny happened to LiMin today :D
-She got "scolded" by Patrick Chow - If you are not interested, you can don't come for this module. LOL

興味深いですね？

Spent time at Moberly until 1730 hours. SP wireless was in the pits then. It takes the same amount of luck to get a "heavenly winning hand" to connect to the freaking wireless -.- I was wondering whether if they had paid their internet bills...

まりこせんせい told us that there would be an oral and written test next week o.o It's the mid-year exam! -_- Hope I'll be able to pass it with flying colors.

2009-05-22T23:06:00.001+08:00

Went to Suntec to attend the semicon. It's so good to have lessons out of the classroom, especially when it's near my house. This time's was even more boring than the previous. And they only provided water, no coffee -_-

Went to the "Games and Electronics Fair" after the semicon. Had a free cup of cold H-two-O - it was quite refreshing. Can't believe that people are actually willing to queue up in such a long queue to buy pre-paid cards. Asiasoft must have placed those brainwashing programs into their games and brainwashed players into buying their PPCs o.o

After that, we went over to Marina Square's foodcourt to celebrate Vivienne's birthday. LiMin was so evil - she laughed at how I took pictures. I'm trying to take pictures like those professional photographers - don't even have to look so closely to the viewfinder (in case you don't know what's a viewfinder, it's the glass like thingy u look through to see the image), and she said I look like some old man -.- Even Vivienne praised my photos :D See, I ain't that noob after all. It's all about the timing and precision o.o

After the celebration, six people, including me, went to watch "The Night at the Museum 2" in GV Marina. It was quite rushed, but luckily, there's the 10 minutes commercial. It was quite funny though, and i think Sylvia would be less angry after the movie. In case you're one of those who reads the book instead of watching the movie, you're going to miss a lot of details which you can't imagine. A giant Abraham Lincoln moving - imagine that.

2009-05-20T21:05:00.002+08:00

Finally completed presenting my IDEA project to the class. Well, Dr. Thian was like laughing uncontrollably, i don't know whether it's a good or bad thing - make me feel so pek chek. Had subway for lunch with kenneth, zack, limin and waisan. Just as usual, it was subway melt for me :D

Then, i went to meet Joseph at Jurong Point. We kind of wasted time walking around there. Before we went back, we took the train too Joo Koon. I'm finally convinced that Joo Koon is a ghost town. I don't think i saw any houses except for workers' hostel.

2009-05-19T20:38:00.002+08:00

Thought about lots of things this morning to school again. I was thinking about the difference it would made if there's one less person on Earth.

1) Less resources are consumed - 1 less person to be wasting electricity, fossil fuels, water and food.

2) Less amount of CO2 emitted - a person can emit up to billions or maybe trillions of tons of CO2 (especially for those who travel frequently to other countries.)

3) Inflation won't be that high - with one less person consuming resources, resources is more, reducing inflation.

4) Less global warming - less CO2 emitted slower the pace of global warming. Earth can last longer than the predicted doomsday.

5) Less natural disasters - with the slower pace of global warming, the temperature rise on Earth surface will be lesser than what it is now. No more heat waves, drought, flash floods...etc

6) Man would be able to have more time to figure out how to solve the problem of global warming. From what i can see now, there isn't even much awareness about global warming. Sure, everyone must have heard of the word "Global Warming" if not few, at least once. But how many of them knows the consequences and the solutions. If we could cut down by a person's lifetime emission of CO2, it may not help much, but nonetheless, it'll still help.

End of my thoughts - now are the main events of today.

I went to bed at 4am and woke up at 7am. Apparently, i don't feel tired - that coffee works wonders, it even helps you sleep well too o.o Stayed up late to complete that stupid IDEAs project. I'm sure I've found, not sure..CONFIRM, found so much teachers better than that pruned-face woman -.- The DE teacher is so good lor. She always have that warm-hearted smile on her face, better than some pruned-face woman. Saw HuiLeng and ShaoJie watching Loveless today - didn't know they were into yaoi or BL. Never watched Loveless before, but after seeing how moe-ry the anime was, i decided to add it into "My list of animes to be watched."

Today's ride was one I never had for days. Went back with Jerome and LiangQuan which i supposed it's the first time we've talk alot on the train. It was really great as trips back home are usually boring. In addition, i haven't listen to my music on my phone ever since my ear piece spoilt a few months ago.

2009-05-18T20:14:00.004+08:00

So i had a really bad day today. Woke up with a really bad headache i think i got since last Friday night.

Went to school early to complete the TCS project despite not feeling well. I can't be irresponsible and leave my team at lurch. So during TCS lesson today, we were the first team to present. Guess what, the teacher forgot my name again. It's the fifth week of school and she forgets MY NAME when she can remembers others' name. I don't see how other lecturers whom I've speak lesser to can forget my name. True, Chinese names are generally harder to remember, but being a Chinese person, how can she not remember a Chinese name easily. I remember for the first lesson, after taking the attendance, we were supposed to introduce ourselves. She actually asked, "Do we have a YueHan in this class?" Thanks ah.. you've made me felt so left out. And she didn't even apologized, which i believe many lecturers would've said.

Right, so we were the first team to present, i don't think she gave us participation marks which she gave to those who usually volunteered first. We were ready while the others were not and time is running short - she ended the lesson late today AGAIN. And when Sylvia's team was about to present, their comp due to some unexpected reasons, could not display on screen. Apparently, the lecturer could not remember my name again. She keep repeating "you,you and you", which makes it obvious that she never tried to remember my name. So when Jerome's team was presenting, she was like hurrying because of time constrains which i wouldn't mind, but, she actually did not listen to their slides attentively. I could have sworn, everyone saw at least a slide which has the pictures of their products and she was asking, "So where's the product you're supposed to talk about?" How could we let a lecturer who did not listen attentively to their students' presentation make their progress? She'll probably give an inaccurate mark.

Because of the late ending time on every Mondays. I'm in a dilemma whether to quit aikido or not. Why? I can't go to the CCA on time. Japanese people are very picky about punctuality. I don't think i can even commit to my CCA.

The ride home today felt very long. The 26mins trip felt like a few hours. I thought of so many things and guessed what? It only went pass 1 station -.- I've thought on so many things today, including on the lecturer's behavior, whether to quit aikido and some other several things. It's quite lonely when you go home by yourself.

When i walked home today, i saw kuwaii-chan today, the name i gave to that cat (it consists of kuroi and kawaii, but not really sure whether the cat is a male or female o.o) The cat is always at its usual spot, under the tree, relaxing. Every time i look at that cat, i get the feeling that life as a cat must be really good. That time i saw the cat chasing butterflies, you don't really see such view in Singapore any more. Cats in Singapore are so lazy these days. Maybe we've overfed them too much >.<

2009-05-15T19:04:00.007+08:00

Ah...today was a tiring day - heard lots of talks in the Symposium jointly organized by NUS, NTU and EuroCham, "Green Innovations, Our Future Together" in Suntec City Convention Center.

Well, just my 2 cents worth - since we're talking about energy conversation, why is that A/C set to such a low temperature that i think everyone is feeling exceptionally cold even with jackets on.

I don't know how many cups of coffee i drank today. I think it was over 5 cups o.o The talks were so boring except for some. Talks i can remember were "Envac rubbish disposal" and "Microalgae biofuel feedstock." The Envac rubbish disposal system is so cool - can't wait for them to install the systems in Singapore (Envac's Website). For more information on Microalgae biofuel feedstock, visit (Wikipedia)

The symposium ended at around 3.30pm i think, and everyone left except Zack and I. We wanted to listen to the forum as it will answer the audiences' doubts and questions. I think they missed out on quite a lot of information as there are still talks. There's even a motivational video.

Lost Generation

2009-05-09T00:25:00.004+08:00

Erm...busy much? Since i can't remember what really happened, i'm going to comment on the noodles stall in FC2.

~Wanton Noodles~

-The arrangement of the ingredients is horrible. It looks like everything is dumped together.

-Taste of the soup? Bland and oily ~ tastes just like oil water >.<

-Noodles? Too oily - as if i'm eaing noodles soak in oil.

-Char siew? Quite ok..

-Dumplings? Average.

Overall: 3.5/10 -.-

~Fishball Noodles~

-Look at first sight, quite messy as well.

-Soup? A little better than wanton noodles, but needs improvement.

-Noodles? Less oily than wanton noodles, but relatively oily.

-Fishball and fishcake? Not bad, but still, there's room for improvement.

Overall rating: 4.5/10

From what i've heard, the laksa soup base is quite acceptable, though there's no way it can be as good as katong laksa.

Noodles stall in FC2 - Cheap, queue is normally relatively short. Good for those in a hurry and want something to fill their stomach only. Bad for those who like to savour their food.

2009-04-24T22:45:00.001+08:00

The first week of school is finally over! Quite a hectic week though - everything was new. It's a new start of life, literally.

Poly life really seems tiring. In the past, no matter how tired i am, i won't fall asleep in the afternoon. But now, i usually end up sleeping in the afternoons and can even sleep in the night soundly - that shows how tired i am -_-

So far, things is looking good. New friends, new life - no one really knows about your past unless you speak about it since they've never knew you before. I love my class - it's filled with fun, enthusiasm as if everyone is really enjoying their life. Well, i'm glad that the class leader really live up to his reputation. He's really good though. Rumor has it that he's a 6 pointer. 6 pointer still come clean energy. If it was me, i would have gone to biomedical science -.-

2009-04-16T21:12:00.004+08:00

Argh, flag day - the day where people treat you as beggers -_-

I slept at 3am and woke up at 6am. When i reached the venue, Mr Sudhir (i'm sure he's mr and not dr) - my lecturer, havent even arrived yet. What a total waste of my time! I should have sleep in longer. The early birds there were Vivienne, Shao Jie (class leader) and me.

Finally at 7.31am, Mr Sudhir arrived. He was late by 1 minute o.o He marked the attendance and gave everyone a dollar as a starting motivation. Our class has a total of 19 people. Congratulations, he just spent $19 in less than 5 mins.

So we went here and there to collect - blah blah blah blah blah. Finally, it's lunch time. We sat at Mcdonalds at 11.15am and waited 45 mins for them to change their menu. I had Mcspicy value lunch as usual. The meat was bigger than what i was served usually at my housing estate. T^T That's biased! So, Toa Payoh people gets better meat la?

After lunch, we walked around for a while before going back to school. On the way back, i saw Angelina and her course mates. They seemed so lively. Everyone in my course seems to be dying already -.-

After so much time passed, it's finally time to calculate our efforts. I collected $67.90 and 1 Baht -.- 1 Baht?! That isn't even worth much! But, it's still money -.- Our highest collector was Shao Jie - he collected around $120+. Our total joined efforts came up to $125x.xx (can't really remember). Last year's highest collection for SEEE class was $1269.xx. We almost beat them! o.o

I didn't went for the freshman orientation party. Good thing i didn't went. They said it was horribly hot and crowded, not to mention the noise pollution.

2009-04-14T22:01:00.002+08:00

Today's the 2nd day of orientation.

Nothing much happened except someone "stalk" me from LT14A to CASS block -.- and we had our solar car.

We made our solar car, only to use batteries to power it afterwards because the sun wasn't strong enough -.- I think it's not the sun's fault, but the budget solar panel's fault. So that beats the point of clean energy. We're supposed to use clean energy and not some batteries that cannot even be recharged -_-

I skipped EEE night. Hope there's no CCA points given for EEE night.

2009-04-13T19:21:00.002+08:00

Orientation~

Today is the first day of my orientation. I can't believe i almost forgot aobut today's orientation until someone in sgclub forums brought up the topic. I was pretty nervous since there wasn't anyone i knew in my course. Well, thankfully, Nicholas (the person sitting on my left) talked to me. He seems friendly and sporting, too bad he isn't in my class.

I met daryl and andrew sng for lunch at FC3. I had zha jiang mian and thankfully, it taste great. The line for the stalls was like uber long lor. So we had team building games in the sports hall next. The sports hall was so dirty. I could see the dust on my laptop bag T_T

After that, we went to collect out flag day donation tins and t-shirts. The front of the shirt was ok but the back was horrible. who designed it anyway? o.o And our lecture is Mr Sudhir. -(I think it's Mr, or maybe Dr -.-)

2009-04-11T23:52:00.002+08:00

Omg..i'm aching everywhere. Why? Because there's this camp that is organized by SP CSCC - Phantome Ossessionato. It was fun but tiring -.-

- We had ice-breaking games in school very early -_-

- There were GP's (i think) with funny nicknames. My personal favourites are the "horny animal family" and "we no money we don't care we buy cheap cheap underwear -_-) And there were actions too o.o

- We went into the sea for our very first game T^T and i think i've never been in singapore seas ever since i was 6 o.o

- The thunderstorm spoiled almost everything -.-

- Cheers were horrible o.o

- We had a water bomb fight to save our mommy and daddy. We were thinking of saving mommy jiayi and left daddy sean behind <_< Dunno who go save daddy de...

- The caucasians in bikini and shorts joined in the fight. I was stunned when i saw them picked the water "bombs" and throw towards the GPs. And they managed to score :D

- I scored 1 too. It exploded on "horny panda".. Muahahahahaha

- We went into the sea at night, there were so many "wth" thingys inside the sea -.-

- We walk a very far distance to palawan beach shower room, BAREFOOTED. The rocks hurt so much,

- The shower wasn't working really well for me, so i hurried bath and got out..

- Good thing i didnt wore my specs, even though i'm a guy, seeing a "seaweed monster" in the open bath would freak me out.

- I had subway while others had carl's jr

- A senior in clean energy told me clean energy no future T^T

Note to self - they love having "pass the sweet with your mouth" as a forfeit game

2009-04-08T13:43:00.003+08:00

So i was talking about borrowing and complete reading a book from the library. Of course, i resisted my urge to borrow more than 1 book. The book that i borrowed is "Profit from the peak by Brian Hicks and Chris Nelder" For more information about the book, you can go HERE.

This book i one of the books that i've never completed reading. So this time, i'm going to start all over again and understand the context of the book rather than just reading without understanding <-- that's what i do best :D

2009-04-07T18:54:00.003+08:00

Right, so i was thinking about the number of books borrowed from the library i ever completed reading. I think i can count them with my fingers. -_- It's like you see many books you want to read, so you borrow all those books and you can find time to read them or just plain lazy to read them. I belong to the latter T^T. So, im going to the library today, just to borrow 1 book and make sure i read finish it o.o

And, i'm going to put it under my goals as i don't think i've ever completed reading a book that is borrowed from the library.

If you're thinking that shouldn't those "goals" in my list be classified as to-do list, you're wrong. A goal is something that is hard to achieve, and yes, completing reading a book is hard for me. I'll most probably read 10 pages and stop reading the book <_<

2009-04-06T22:47:00.002+08:00

So, i went out with Ben to Bugis today. He said he wanted to look for something called, - er, yes! A ribbon tie. Well, i was thinking that aren't ribbon ties normally worn by butlers? In any aspect, he'll fail as a butler o.o

So, we were meeting at 7.15pm. Time passed and passed. He finally arrived at 7.36pm, and he still can sms that "Xperia estimates reach at around 7.30pm". Well, 7.30pm is perfect, 7.31pm is good, 7.32pm is ok, and 7.33pm is already way off! And 7.30pm is later than the original meeting time -_- That's it! He's so totally getting a clock for his birthday <_<

We went to Iluma and he said i scammed him. Said something about me saying Iluma has a shop selling ribbon ties. I didn't said anything regarding ribbon ties, and that's totally putting words in my mouth T^T. If this happens next time, im going to kill him faster than he can spell out "HELP"!

2009-04-06T14:04:00.002+08:00

So the other day i was watching this SOYJOY advertisement. The one where a lady got tattooed to make her look slimmer but it was too much and she wanted to take some off, but the tattooist said it was impossible. Then, i had this idea, im going to learn how to write "muri desu"

And there it is:

So now, im still learning other words :D

2009-04-05T23:34:00.003+08:00

Really tired, don't wish to update <_<

Kat DeLuna - Calling You

2009-04-04T23:15:00.001+08:00

I went to Pasir Ris to pass Joseph my punch card. He's a great guy, without him recommending me a job, i'll probably be chased by Hitachi for the installments of my laptop -_- I owe him a meal :D

Then, i went to Bugis to see the new mall - Iluma (I think, if i never remember wrongly..." I can't believe there's a otaku house over there. On closer look, the items for sale seemed familar to Mr Otaku's Cosplay House. Maybe they're the same shop. What's the point of opening a shop just 5-10mins from another branch? And the mall's level 2, it's heaven. It's a paradise of male clothings and accessories, and cosplay :D

So there was this sale at SPADE in Bugis Street and their sales were going for $25. It's cheap but the weather's so hot. I wouldn't want to do shopping on a hot day. It affects my emotions and they say "A hot man is an angry man". If you've never heard it before, now you do!

*tsk* Can't wait for angelina to come back with my presents o.o

2009-04-03T23:06:00.001+08:00

Hmm.. i went to SP today.

1) To accompany ben to his post-configuration for his laptop since he reformatted his comp twice -_-
2) To attend the briefing for the CSCC 1 day camp - Phantome/Fantome Ossessionato.(The first time they put phantome and the second time they put fantome -_-) Luckily, the briefing wasn't that long.

Then, we went to marina square to watch "Confessions of a Shopaholic". Based on my rating, i would rate it overall 8.5/10. The movie plot is interesting as it shows the irony of a debt-ridden shopaholic being a financial consultant o.o And, that's it. - To prevent any spoilers :D There's a song in the movie that caught my attention - "Kat DeLuna - Calling You".

At least something happened today out of so many days. Finally, i'm not bored :D

2009-04-02T15:55:00.001+08:00

Hmm..bored again, as usual..

Here's a video from nigahiga~

Word of the Day - Pwned
"Making you just a little less dumb with every video"

2009-04-01T22:33:00.004+08:00

I'm bored, again, as usual -_- I waited for angelina to come online today. But she didn't. Then, i realised how stupid i was because she was going on a trip to Japan, again o.o

Japan seems like a really fun place. Everyone's going there, even vora went there to study -.-

How i wish i could go to japan for my internship in Year 2 :D *Fat Hope* -_-

It's April Fool's Day. Unlike any other april fool's, this year is the first time i didn't get tricked (i rarely got tricked). It's because there's no one to trick me this year. I'm not in school, not going out today and didn't talk much to anyone today.

Ah~ sabishii desu...

2009-03-30T16:26:00.002+08:00

Guess what? I've got nothing to do again and started doodling again T_T

Yeah, i know my doodling sucks, but i've nothing better to do. LOL

Randomness -.-

(There's actually something different among the squares - try and find it if you're not blinded by the colours) I almost went blind while making this -.- It's too bright..

2009-03-30T01:48:00.003+08:00

I'm bored T^T and it has been going on for days... The boredom is killing me! Jobless really doesn't seem fun though...

Vora left for Japan on Sunday *pift* I'm so jealous o.o He's going to be studying in Japan.. RAWR

Random: I was bored so i did some doodling. (It sucked though..)

P.S - This is my twitter photo, LOL

2009-03-23T21:22:00.002+08:00

I can't believe i'm still sick today. I even vomitted last night T^T and ben is pressing me for his game i helped to download >.< he's an evil guy...

So, we decided to meet at Geylang East library since my laptop battery is running out. At the library, i finally understand why i couldn't connect to wireless@sg in MacDonalds last time. It's was so stupid *facepalms* and i'm not telling it :D

2009-03-22T23:47:00.001+08:00

Today is finally the last day of work at jean perry. It was kind of fun though, giving out flyers and promoting bedsheets. Because of that, i know a lot more on bedsheets. <--- Certainly could help me from getting "scammed" by promoters next time :D

Many things happened when i was working. There was this guy, called Bronson Teo, and i can't find any words to describe him -_- It's a long story... The best part about this job is it made me realised that a mascot giving out free tissues freaking owns everyone o.O Everyone ignored our flyers and queue for the free tissues -.- But the bear(mascot) was cute though..

Today is considered as a pretty good day. All of our flyers were given out and we got our early break since we had to do clearing up later in the night, and i didn't even agreed -_- Well, good thing the clearing up this time ended quite early so i didn't need to fetch a ride home from the company's lorry >.<

I woke up with a fever today and went to work as usual. Maybe money is more important than health? After all, i didn't even apply for leave and it's kind of irresponsible to apply for one at the last minute - where can they find replacement in such a short time?

Well, i can't really remember much things since i'm sick. All i can remember is that, the company did not provide water until 6pm -.-

When i reached home, i went with heidyl to MacDonalds to use the wireless@sg. Apparently, i did the steps the computer told me to do but i just can't use the internet despite being connected to wireless@sg. If you're saying that i need to login, forget it -.- There wasn't anything that prompted me to login o.O

I woke up quite early today. I slept at around 2am ytd and woke up at 9am. Well, you might think it's quite normal, but, i'm still sick -.- Curses! It's all BEN'S FAULT!

I reached city hall interchange at around 10.10am. We(me,joseph) waited for bear bear and his "friend" - (I'm sure they are a couple >.<), and they just simply walked past us -.- We should not have waited for them, o.O I could get my punch card stamped earlier by 15mins -_-

I can't believe the human crowd there was at suntec city convention centre. It was practically a ghost town. It shouldn't be happening since it's the march holidays + food fair event. Despite that, we managed to give out more than 6000 flyers out of 15000. I got chased by the security guards twice today - illegal flyer giving.... LOL

The problem is, i don't understand why are there so many freaking guards in the center and why are they chasing us away? When we give flyers, the amount of "thank you" we received is more than they receive. From what i can see, i don't think there's a need for so many guards - tourist asks us for directions more than they ask security guards. When we give flyers,we smile at those people so that the chances of them taking the flyer would be more high - we have more customer service than they do -.- I think the management should just fire them or something.

I hope my throat gets better tomorrow -.-

*Note to self - never take spicy food when having a sore throat.

Sick -.-

I'm sick~ and it's all because of ben -.-

I've been sick from monday, and it's like wednesday. Despite being sick, i went to work. Well, money comes first?

Before going to work, i went to the arcade with joseph and bear bear in Marina Square. At the arcade, we saw a star. Well, i don't remember her name -.-

During work, i had to move the stocks from loading bay to the location back and forth many times. There wasn't any water to drink, and in addition, joseph offered me an eclispe, resulting in a super terrible sore throat. I drank about 4 bottles of water that day -_-

After work, we waited for joseph's dad to give us a ride back home. In the end, we waited for at least 1.5hours and i suffered from my motion sickness >.< I reached home at around 1am.

A New Start?

Well, i sort of deleted my previous blog. Maybe that was a failure -_-

So, i decided to restart my blog to replace that failed blog *facepalms* After all, they say that 'Failure is the mother of success' or 'Failure is often a stepping stone towards success.'

Oh! That reminds me, if failure is the mother of success, whats the point of studying when failing brings you success as well?
