Lunch time blog

What do you do when you finish eating, have half an hour to go before you need to return to office, and there's Singapore Pools in front of you?

Haha!

I'm through!

Yeah man I got to the 2nd round of interviews! Don't really know to be happy or not because its shift work, bloody 12 hour shit.

On the 2nd hand, heard the pay is quite good but come on work till like a dog/donkey/mule/elephant if don't get a good pay, might as well go fish. Right or not PC? :p

Today watched Bloomberg and this dude, chairman of semiconductor association in the US said that semiconductor growth is 10%. 10%, wu yia bo? If really 10% STM, Tech, Chartered and Micron etc all smile until teeth drop liao lor. All you buggers, please upgrade to 3G phones man. And yeah buy more mp3 players please! Forget about your ipod, get that nano! =D

Tomorrow I'll be going for the interview, not knowing what to expect. I look forward to having a ... good discussion with the interviewer. Yawnz ~

First impressions

Just wondering, what first impression did I give to you guys? As in, what was I doing, when we first met?

Just a question which I think will be quite interesting! Tag meeeee!

blogging from work :p

Hi all, haha yes as per the title I am blogging from the office. The view here is really excellent, can see ECP and the sea beyond from the 31st floor.

Watching so many days of CNN, really feel that God is playing a cruel joke on those Indonesians, they are already not very well off and yet have to suffer so many natural disasters. Tsunami, volcano eruption and now an earthquake.

Met Soon Yeow on the train yesterday, and instantly the quote came to my mind.

"si beh zer ah.." -_-

Ok I better go work liao.. although I am multi-tasking right now.

Back for more depressing news!

Yahoooo!!!

Too much haddo-gay there.. :p

Been working almost every single day since my 'holidays' started.. bleddy hell! I have positively forgotten what I wanted to do once my exams ended because everyday is just work work work. You know, like how the peon whines 'work work' in warcraft 3?

I'm like "Job's done" when I finish a task now. Zzz. How miserable it must be to be a real life peon.

And yeah I was so tired that I couldn't manage to finish watching the champion's league final. Fark. And yeah Barca won. Hehe so the midfield maestros Deco and Ronaldinho did it and it was no doubt that supersub Henrik Larsson was man of the match for me. 2 incredible, absolutely stunning assists that led to the destruction of Arsenal.

I can sympathise with Arsenal fans though, their wonder keeper Lehman who is.. well.. a wonder keeper (lols) gets sent off in the 20th minute I think. That totally destroyed the game, no amount of pushing from Ljungberg helped Arsenal after that. I think Wenger should start looking for Gilberto's replacement, I have no idea what his role in Arsenal is. He has always seemed like a redundant player to me?

Anyway, IMO, the first Barca goal was offside when Eto latched on to Larsson's pass but it was such a swift execution that nothing short of those photogates used in Turf club can spot the offside lor. Haha! It happened so fast!

The 2nd goal, Almunia was just damned unlucky. Maybe the wonder keeper would have made a routine block. Suay~

I'm tired leow =(

Tomorrow morning, QM II

Tomorrow I will be taking the QM II exam. Really hope that I can pass, well but I must say I could have put in much much more effort this semester. But well its too late to grumble so from now to morning I will try to finish up my QM II revision and studying!

Chiong ahhh!

Argh~! You know its exams when..

1. You have finished reading every single thread in MCF and MCS forums.
2. You've viewed your own blog more than 3 times a day.
3. You start watching and re-watching Naruto, Top Gear, random YouTube videos.
4. You resort to reading DoTA forums.
5. You decide in a panicky manner that the only way to solve this is to study at the library.
6. You bring your computer to the library and read (1-5) above.

My fault..

Today my sis called me to say she had pain in the eyes and she asked where I was.
I was at home and then she asked, are you going to school? I said no.
Then she asked, are you going out? I said no.

So she told me to just buy Optrex and some Gardenia corn bread for her, ok I did that.

Later on J smsed me to ask if I could pick her up. Given that it was quite late, and that I wasn't able to pick her up from a horrible Monday and Tuesday, I went and I was in a rush. Before leaving Mother asked me if I could pick my sis up. I don't know why but my dad said that she was in a taxi on the way home. So ok lor, proceed on with plan.

Nabeh, later on sis call me ask where am I and where's her Optrex. Then after hanging up sms me stuff like why couldn't I pick her up? Even if dad said she's on taxi (which wasn't true btw), still can make an effort to contact her.


















WHAT FUCKING RUBBISH?!?!? KNN.. MY BIG FAT FUCKING FAULT I CAN'T READ YOUR MIND.
CCB tell me to reflect, seriously other occasions maybe I was at fault but this one is really fucked up.

That's it. End of family ranting. I can so see JK telling me to get a bike solve all these fucked up problems. Or get a manual car with a really hard clutch so that my sis can't drive it. CCB. Anw that's besides the point.


Btw: I think my neighbour got some family abuse problem happening. Ahh fuck them too anyway forever crying and crying and screaming and yelling.

NPP lecture

For the 2nd time this sem, I tried really hard to absorb what Prof Thomas Osipowicz (hope I spelled correctly) was saying in his lecture. I'm telling you its damned tough, his voice is naturally a deep resonating voice and his accent which is a mix of British/Irish accent makes it difficult to understand when you're unable to catch a few words in his sentence.

Not to mention there's a whole bunch of noisy year 3 fellow majors beside me, joking and making merry oblivious to the rest of the class. Haha! (Yes you know who you are!)

There are many ways to studying and concentrating and one of the most poseur way of showing that you are paying attention is by using the highlighter. I often see people using highlighters and they highlight important part of their notes. Its just wrong to me, it just isn't enough to get all that info permanently or semi-permanently etched into your head!

However I've been doing this for some lectures of SSD when I was really sleepy and today's NPP because

1) No idea wtf he's talking about.
2) Got idea but he went to another point already, so too slow to jot down notes.
3) Lazy to get a pen
4) I'm a poseur

Also found out that there are quarks known as 'truth quarks' and 'beauty quarks'. Wtf man, particles that I have no idea of can have such strange names.

End of my quick post, going to finish up my geography assignment now!

Krakatoa ???

What happened!?!

"Indonesia is also rich in volcanoes, the most famous being the now-vanished Krakatau (Krakatoa), which was located between Sumatra and Java."

Taken from Wikipedia.
You mean Mt. Krakatoa is just gone?? By what? Plate tectonics? Or Tsunami? Or Megawati/Bambang/whoever ordered it to be gone?

Edit: JK just told me the answer.. haha and the answer was from Wikipedia also. Lol~

I shout when I'm bored

Talk about queueing up, this is really horrible!

From Fruchee's friend's blog I suppose~

Just looking at the comments on tomorrow.sg on 'run in with a tuition agency', wah lau really want to kar pwee! Personally I feel very pissed with this tuition agency and its weird tactics such as charging really exhorbitant rates for using their name/trademark as a referee.

Oh well hope JK better get this settled quick because all our tests and exams are approaching liao. Haha!

My new toys

I'm gonna pwn your noob asses now! Buahahaa!

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!

Out of sheer boredom..i decided to....

...share the joy with all of u.

Happy Lunar New Year & good health to all. :)

Weird stuff

Just visited another blog that's pretty hot within the M'sian blogging circle and I found this.

No idea what it means, probably means nothing but well photoshop skills, I can appreciate.

I ate salmon sashimi today for the first time and, strangely, it felt just like any other cooked food except for the slightly sticky texture. I have no idea how is it supposed to taste nice when all I can taste is the soy sauce and wasabe. Duh!

Back to QM2 tutorial. Yay! row x column = column x row? column x row = column dot row? Ahhhh! I don't like vectors. But its still better than nuclear physics. :(
