New record?

Just found out that the ang pao chia got a record low fuel consumption! That's 10.51km/litre of Mobil RON95 petrol. Haha!

On other notes, clay bar-ed the whole car today and it was a new experience, never used detailing clay before. Nitty gritty spots were lifted off the paint surface with ease, and all the rubbish sticking onto the paint surface are now on the clay. Cool product to use, but will probably use it sparingly. After all, I'm not working in Jurong Island or something.

SSD is up this Fri. Better go study now!

Another short post

Its just weird how quickly you can make acquaintances. A week back, I saw a white Nissan Sunny around my house which didn't have its headlights switched off. It was parked if you are wondering. So I just thought, with the rain and the half dead battery, the owner is gonna have a problem trying to start the cold engine later.

So I proceeded to ring the doorbell of my neighbour and told the old lady that her vehicle didn't have its headlights switched off. Well she thanked me and gave me a big smile and that made my day!

This morning while driving, saw her drive back presumably from the market. She gave me a smile and greeted me and of course I returned the greeting. After which her hubby came out and also waved to me. Even though I was late for school, that still made my day!

Little things really go a long way.

Almost the mid term "break"

More of a few days for you to catch up if you're lagging behind lor.

And oh yah NUS is proposing or rather should be implementing a fee hike of dunno how many %. According to the circular that I got in my mail, NUSSU which is the NUS students' union is disappointed that NUSSU was not involved in any discussion about the fee hike.

Although I won't be affected cos I'm hitting the road after this sem, you definitely don't feel good about any fee hikes. And thinking back, I drove past my former school campus which is Nan Hua Secondary and in its place now is NUS high school. Jchyan was like 'wah! this is like bigger than NUS lor!'

It looks freaking big and modern and high tech man, it looks like a freaking RESORT from outside lor. Maybe I'm just jealous, they are demolishing a place of many memories and in its place now stands the NUS high school. Nabeh! Gone is the block where we did our D&T work, gone are the staircases that we gleefully jumped down to chiong during recess time. Gone is the fitness park where me and my NHSS buddies spent the better part of our times playing chaptek, swinging on the monkey bar and doing half-fuck chin-ups as well as playing street soccer.

Sigh, feeling really nostalgic now but really, curse NUS. And as jkaiser mentioned, bursaries do not really help the student population. Sure, help the needy students but does that mean that the other students don't feel the pinch?

Anyway I heard from jkaiser that if I wear a black shirt today, I am protesting the fee hike. I forgot all about it cos I was mugging for QMII yesterday. So screw these useless silent protests and start a proper petition. No black shirt underwear can?

I'm getting more and more incoherent in this post because of QMII. Its by far the most interesting course in Physics, yet the toughest, and yet the one module that I understand and like the most. It is non-intuitive in nature unlike classical mechanics which to me is freaking boring. That's why I didn't even consider doing the gyroscope mechanics for my year 3 experimental module.

Mugged last night till 12 odd before going home and I had insomnia because I wanted to present a solution today. I was so stressed for a fucking QMII tutorial, until I woke up late and somebody else presented it already before I arrived. Bloody hell.
Its not even the test and I'm so stressed already, I really couldnt sleep till about 4am I reckon.

My dreams were not of lambs and sheep or clouds made of candy floss. They were full of Dirac's ket and bras and their adjoints, together with trace of operators and Fourier integrals that kind of made sense to me.

In short, I'm going mad lah.

Cute masters project

Got this off Wind-feynman. Its so cute and to see and listen that the melody and tempo and rhythm changes with the hamsters' different positions.

Can bet that Kenny will be very amused with this. Haha!
