Nice short film
Short film about local soccer
Haha, reminds me of our secondary school days, go around the area looking for field, playing void deck soccer and so much more.

How to spend $$..
Just saw this off MCS and quite perturbed.
See this!
Now, would you spend the amount of money like him on your own vehicle? I'm just a little curious to see who would actually be willing to fork out that kind of money to mod your ride.
Not to mention, I'm sure at least 3/4 of the mods featured are cosmetic modifications only..

Bo liao..
Read BFSW's blog and subsequently went to read XX's blog. Hehe, ah lian snatches cab from the number 1 blogger in SG for no apparent reason. (Oops, number 1 bloggr or snatch cab for no apparent reason?)
Anyway, I managed to read most of the forum posts inside OGK forums because I think at that time the forum's bandwidth still allowed for unregistered people to view all the posts inside. I dunno man, save for a few, it seems like all the people in the forum are brainless.. I shan't continue.. LOL.
I never knew that in Singapore, life can be so drama even online.. well if XX's claim is valid then actually it wouldn't surprise me. Just a couple of days ago, I went to the Esplanade to watch the 'Mosaic music festival', some jazz band was giving a live performance. Some people who ate glassplexin or optical fibre for lunch stood right in front of us and a whole crowd behind. Happily jiving to the music oblivious to perhaps 20 or 30 odd pissed off people. Perhaps they forgot they were wearing opaque clothes, stupid cockanadens. The above mentioned cock-sters include ang-mors as well, nnb whoever said only locals were inconsiderate? At one point of time felt like shouting 'OEI' a-la-Jianwei style (NH inside joke) but decided at a public performance it wouldn't be too gracious either. Too bad I didn't bring my metal water bottle, which had a 'peace' insignia inscribed on it. JK should know better.. hehe
Where was I? Oh yeah for a summary of the happenings in XX's oh-so-drama blog, I suppose you guessed it. Its in this entry's title.

Taking the first step..
The first step, isn't it often that the first step is always the most important? I have to admit many a time I have failed to take the first step and I'm still learning to try to take it whenever I can. Like joining JK for Tumkur, somehow I declined. Like going for consultations, somehow I never go. Like going for rock climbing sub club, even somehow that didn't materialise. Sigh..
Is there something wrong with me? Even Yilin who mugs all day long is in CBLC.. Ivan is in Arts Club, Beng is in CHESS, Henry even though he isn't the most social type but he plays table tennis with his friends over there. Zeff is involved in Science Club's publications, JK needless to say, project Tumkur under his leadership, I already respect his balls to even try leading something. Why am I not taking a step forward? I'm not stepping backwards but I'm going to have zero displacement. I haven't even experienced hall life yet, which many people including my Geog lecturer say that it is part and parcel of University life and you wouldn't have experienced University life if you have not experienced campus life.
At most, I go for tennis with Beng and I'm grateful for that. At most I go for soccer with the NH guys and I'm lucky to be in such a closely bonded (sounds familiar?) bunch of friends. At most, the bi-weekly jog with PC Lee and yeah I'm really very grateful for finding such a close friend from NS days. I'm probably rank A in his heart while he's just rank B, I guess I do take friends for granted at times, don't I?
I look at my elder sis, school basketball team in BPGHS, Health & Fitness club in NJ, then NTU I think she stayed at hall for at least 2 semesters, was active in Talentime's committee, and did well in her studies in the end. Think the lowest grade she got was B and she got a 2nd upper class honours. Which means she's just below the Chinamen/SG elites.
Looking at my younger sis, the other extreme, dabbled in piano, organ and the guitar and soon lost interest one after another. Joined band in RV and literally never looked back, continued to be part of RV's alumni band after joining JJ's band as well and was part of the West Zone's band as well. Sometimes she comes home after my parents are asleep, and out of the door before they are awake. Which of course led to the detriment of her acadamia during JC1, flunked a couple of subjects with the combination of Art/Econs/Chemistry/Maths. Strangely enough she dropped Chemistry which in my opinion as a weak Chemistry student, is a freefrag. Nevermind, so after repeated warnings and chidings from my parents she still continues to be very active in band concerts and performances so now her A level results are out. Needless to say it wasn't very good except for Art which she nailed with a distinction.
I suppose our conservative family has really looked down on her "art work" and she has really proved all of us wrong but in the end, she has really failed where it really mattered (read: full A-level cert). Maybe she isn't really cut out for the standard 'maths/science' path like I wasn't really cut out for Physics. I'm sure her resume will be outstanding though for all the CCA stuff she was involved in.
Back to me, table tennis in primary school, which was enjoyable. Continued it in secondary school, training wasn't provided so it was terribly boring. Joined computer club hoping it would be fun and it was slightly better with students taking more initiative rather than teachers. Highlight was NDP 96 where we were forcefully drafted into Dance Society's training which I think was for the better of me. JJC, nothing much except joining the pathetically existing Health and fitness club. NS, nothing much, no comment but overall it was a good experience. NUS, made friends at O-week and really haven't done anything outstanding yet except to dabao 2 modules.
Strangely, at this point of the semester there still seems to be hope. Perhaps its because I know its tough to be failed for my 2 arts modules (Who ever fails arts essay-based modules?) unless you skipped all lectures and tutorials. Maybe its because I have stunned a white board marker at 2nd year lab, scribbling equation after equation whenever I'm free. Maybe its really because I am desperate now, really desperate enough to decide that I need help for my maths module, and my E&M module for good measure. So much that I'm quite sure I have taken half a step forward already, at least towards acadamia redemption. Hell, maybe its just that I'm aiming to scrape through Uni life, rather than to come out better equipped to face the world.
Haven't blogged like this in a while, sure feels weird but hopefully my other half-step will follow up, for my own good.

Of whiteheads and blacking out...
Well actually for quite some time now I have been visibly irritated by a whitehead residing on my right eyelid so after twitching around in school the whole day I decided it had to go.
Step 1: Wash your face to make your skin as _____ as possible. (clean? not-oily?)
Step 2: Proceed to scratch and irritate the site of the whitehead.
Step 3: Pinch the general area with thumb and index finger so that the skin above the whitehead suffers even more damage.
Step 4: Repeat steps 2 & 3 (ouch...)
Step 5: Upon skin breakage remove the whitehead by gently squeezing.
Step 6: Sob uncontrollably before passing out on the toilet floor.
Ok step 6 was irrelevant.. haha!

The beautiful solution
Solution 1 is not really the best solution but nevertheless if it was somehow used, could possibly allow all the dwarves to be set free by the 2nd day in the worst case scenario.
Two dwarves start off by falling in the parade square. A third dwarf takes a look at them and if they are the same, he falls in at the side. If they are different, he falls in between them. Hence he always separates the 2 groups of dwarves, dotted and undotted. Going by this logic, the dwarves do not need to communicate but it does require the first few dwarves to take some initiative. So extending this argument, by the time the last dwarf falls in, there are 2 clear cut groups and he falls in between the 2 groups and he takes a 50% chance by putting up his hand. If it is wrong, he will leave his hand down on day 2 and the dwarves will be set free!
Smart solution!
Solution 2 is the 'zai' solution as Henry and I both agree, it took our brains a bit of warming up to understand it at first! Even now I also a bit blur so I shall just copy and paste the email haha!
Ok, the one dotted dwarf case is trivial:
The dotted dwarf himself sees no other dotted dwarf, and realized that he
must be the one, so he raised his hand.
Two dotted dwarves case:
[from a dotted dwarf eyes] he sees one dotted dwarf in the group. But that
dotted dwarf is NOT raising his hand as in case 1! Why didn't he raise his
hand when it seems that he is the only dotted dwarf?
So, there must be one more dotted dwarf than what he actually sees. Since
he can see everyone except himself, the "one more dotted dwarf" must be
himself.
[from non-potted dwarves point of view] they saw two dotted dwarves. They
also suspect that they themselves are dotted. So they observe the two
dotted dwarves. If there ARE REALLY TWO dotted dwarves, then, by day 2,
those two dwarves will put up their hand. Case closed.
(Stepping immediately to a sample case)
OK, I am a dwarf. I see 2 dotted dwarves. I assume that I am not dotted
(I don't know whether I am really dotted or not). So, I asumme that the 2
dotted dwarves that I saw are really the total number of dwarves. So I
wait 2 days. By right, If there really 2 dotted dwarves in the group, they
will know that by day 2, from previous argument.
If by day 2, the two dwarves that I saw really raise their hand, and the
king release us, then I know that the are really 2 dwarves in the group.
But what if the 2 dwarves didn't put up their hands? WTF are they doing?
Assuming they are not blur, the only possiblity is that there are actually
more than 2 dwarves!! But I see only 2, so I must be the third.
At the same time the non-dotted dwarf always sees ALL the three dotted
dwarves.
So, a dotted dwarf himself will always be the one who realized that he is
dotted, if by day r, the r dotted dwarves he sees did not raise their
hands. They are waiting for him! (Each dotted dwarf has this view-point
that the remaining dotted dwarves are waiting for him by the end of day r
if they are not released).
Two dwarves start off by falling in the parade square. A third dwarf takes a look at them and if they are the same, he falls in at the side. If they are different, he falls in between them. Hence he always separates the 2 groups of dwarves, dotted and undotted. Going by this logic, the dwarves do not need to communicate but it does require the first few dwarves to take some initiative.

Are you dumb??
Hehe so how is it? Have you all got the solutions yet? So far I suppose only JK, me and Henry know the solutions as well as J but she doesn't seem to be very interested in the puzzle. :(
Anyway just went to KTV with J and her bro's friends and sang a lot of oldies. Think along the lines of "ah li shan de gu niang" and ... another one that goes.. "chang jiang chang qian li..." Oh man.. ok they were yesteryear's hits but.. er.. haha.
Anyway due to the low frequency of KTV visits my voice has deteriorated tremendously (although it never was anything to shout about in the first place..) and almost went off key a few times. Phew, when I went off key I wasn't singing with the mike and J glared at me for a moment.. oops! LOL
Went to the MCS gathering and wah.. really damned intimidating.. so many people and so many cars. I should have taken a few pics but it was quite dark already. So maybe another time, managed to meet my secondary school friend there too!
Enjoy your mid term break guys, I'll do some catching up!! Academic catch up I mean :)

Hello!
In line with my blog's 'motto', I will shout now that I am bored. Studying for tomorrow's tests so taking a break from my break. Haha..
I certainly hope I gained a few kg from the festivities, I ate lots and lots of rubbish like barbequeued pork slices (bah kua) as well as egg rolls aka love letters and half a container of pineapple tarts. This year confirm HUAT AH!
Anyway happy new year to all, CNY has 15 days so technically I am not late! Been quite busy lately with schoolwork, Dagomir is forcing us through "indirect coercion" to participate in his tutorials which is a damned good thing. After his tutorial today, I went to get a papaya milkshake minus shake. Which is papaya with milk.. within MINUTES of downing half the cup, I had to run for the loo. Papaya is always such an effective laxative.. at least for me -_-
My unfortunate witness was none other than Mr Jingkai the great man himself.. haha now you know why I swear by papaya's power?
Well and do you guys remember A? The guy who did the geography project with me last semester, his MSN nick was bordering on disgusting (at least to me) on Valentine's day because it roughly described him receiving flowers from another guy. Baahh, I wish Charles was around and he would start cursing and cursing non-stop. While I have nothing against people who are homosexuals or bi or whatever.. because I am oriented the other way, reading such stuff makes me cringe. Like the way I cringed when I watched Passion of the Christ, only a little bit lesser perhaps.
Visiting relatives alone sometimes is really a whole lot more fun as I discovered lately. Driving the APC to visit my relatives and being such a late riser, most of the time I'm the only guest in my relatives' places and actually got to be 'closer' to them instead of usually listening to my parents chat with them and us watching boring CNY entertainment shows on TV.
Like when I was at my 4th Aunt's place, chatted with her a lot regarding my late grandmother and she said I was one of her favourite grandsons. Anyway my late ah-ma is the 重男轻女 type so that spells half the story already. She also related a few funny incidents when she was a child herself, being chased by a lunatic right into their house until my ah-ma intervened and being so scared of the lunatic that she slipped over a pile of wooden poles and landed flat on her butt. Apparently she was so afraid that she didn't dare to tell my ah-ma about it because she would get told off or even smacked anyway if she told my ah-ma about her bruise.
There's also the legend of my eldest uncle being the head of the family once my late grandfather passed away. Heard that he was almost like a tyrant, if you disobeyed him or if you broke a bowl or spoon, he would use his knuckle and knock it real hard on your skull so much that a bruise would surface immediately. I think people back then were real sadistic or that people nowadays are real soft. What do you think of my sadistic family?
Then there's the 1 about my mother, she's so damned suay man. My mother's brother was a perpetual bully and one day stuffed a hammer or a spanner into my mother's schoolbag and my poor ol' mum carried the freaking heavy bag to school and didn't dare to take the bloody tool out because she would be damned embarrassed. A bit evil man, in my opinion.. zzz
Here's a puzzle that I still don't understand the solution to. Try it anyway, its given to us by Dagomir anyway..
There is a king and a group of dwarves on this island and the evil king has enslaved all the dwarves. The king offers the dwarves a chance everyday to be able to go free if they can fulfill 1 condition.
Condition: All of the dwarves must fall in at this parade square every morning and ONLY those WITH the red dot on their foreheads must raise their hand. This is the only way for them to escape.
1. Some of the dwarves have a red dot on their forehead. (this is not a racist joke/puzzle)
2. The dwarves do not know if they have the red dot or not.
3. The dwarves are infinitely smart but cannot communicate to each other. (cannot wink, talk, gesture etc)
4. There are no mirrors on this island and assume they cannot use the seawater to see their reflection.
I love these logic puzzles man... so damn fun!

Sociology....
Been reading Emile Durkheim's readings for a few days now and I find him quite amazing. Especially with regards to the theory of labour division as a society 'progresses' so as to speak. The reading even throws in a couple of Darwin-ian views to support Durkheim's views.
Damned. I think humans are getting stupider every minute. People living in the last century are such great thinkers, people like me already have trouble deciding what to have for lunch!

Damned. I think humans are getting stupider every minute. People living in the last century are such great thinkers, people like me already have trouble deciding what to have for lunch!

BBQ
Had a farewell party for WWS and we got to have a BBQ at Downtown East.
Did I tell you guys that I love eating BBQ chicken wings? Hehe.. especially when they are nicely and evenly cooked and golden-brown in colour.
Which reminds me, I am craving for "Luo Jia Liang's" chicken wings already! Will tell you guys more about it when I have sufficient evidence!
On another note, a bit sorry to Nick when he requested to borrow my car or rather my dad's car for use. Apparently his gf wanted to meet her friends in town, Orchard to be specific. I had to decline him flat in his and Joycelyn's face, I really have to draw the line clear here. I'm certainly not willing to let anybody who hasn't driven a car for a few years fetch his gf to town in my dad's car.
Who would have to take responsibility if something bad happened? I cannot be held accountable, its too heavy a risk. Then again declining him flatly in front of his gf might be a little bad so I was having some mixed feelings on the way back home. Come to think of it again, making him lose a little face is better than losing 2 lives. So.. sorry buddy if you're reading this ( I guess not :p) but I had to decline you. As a matter of fact, I would have declined anybody else.

Some musings~
Just read the 'famous' xia xue's blog a while ago cos the topic came up in BFSW & J's MSN conversation.
Seems like she criticised Fiona Xie (yeah the actress) because she thinks that Fiona's blog is hypocritical. Whatever, maybe she is maybe she isn't. All I can see is that her blog is quite devoted to God since she mentions Him in all her entries I believe.
It just came to me that people nowadays seem to be kind of spiralling back to the Stone Age or something. Our lives seem entwined with hatred and contempt, when with our higher standards of living we should actually be enjoying life more. Shouldn't we? I also read this particular blog, saying how little we get to experience the human touch nowadays.
I don't think I have an idol, and my idol definitely isn't FX because I seldom watch local TV in the first place, not that I hate her or something. At first I thought her acting was quite plastic and her voice was really wispy and all that. Soon I didn't much bother about that since it didn't really make an impact on my life. Well I realised the importance of actually having idols around through my cousins who were quite idol crazy. (For the Taiwanese boyband Energy)
Once I asked my aunt if her daughters were spending too much time and money on chasing idols. You know, the typical idol-crazy teenager, queueing up overnight for their beloved band's tickets and attending concerts, autograph sessions, promotional events etc etc. Well her answer was that at least her daughters have a certain someone to look up to. Most probably unlike my delinquent cousin who is obviously a deviant person with respect to my family who doesn't really have an idol, a goal, a certain direction to work towards.
Reading xia xue's blog, I almost thought I was watching wrestling. Her style has not changed much since I first read it a year(roughly) back. Her thoughts are IMHO a little exaggerated or biased. Almost like my prima donna cousin (yes, the one with the BMW 7 series and Fairlady Z) in some sense.
Oh well, no offence meant to anyone mentioned above. I tried to be as coherent as I could :p
At the end of the day, it all boils down to perspective. Your own, that is, which will determine your own mood and feelings.
