What I did on my birthday

Me n family ( + sis' bf) went to a new Korean bbq restaurant near my place to celebrate. It's actually half bbq half steamboat coz they have a pot for steamboat besides the hot stone plate for bbqing on every table. The thing I like about d place is that they have an ABC machine for u to make it urself. I actually told my family that I'm gonna belanja them but when i was walking to the counter to pay, my sis' bf, with unbelievable speed rushed past me n quickly settled the bill. I didnt force him ok, he force me to accept.

The restaurant's quite nice. I'll go there again. No pic.

Then we went back to home to have cake. Fresh cream cheese cake! This is me n my sis posing.


After that my secondary skul frens called me out for a surprise yum cha celebration at Old town kopitiam which is also new around here. They all seem fatter.


And just bcoz i havent posted any pictures for a while i'm putting up a few here which serves no purpose.

My sister has made a real mess of her love life. She’s got a new boyfren (not exactly new but I only knew bout it not long before I came back so it was new to me), a 26-year-old senior engineer (by name only) in the engineering firm she went for internship in. The guy quite ok la, although senior engineer sounds very old but he looks very young only. Fun person, quite nice also. Supposedly top student in UTM last time (dunno true or not 1). He visits my house almost everyday, goes to work in the morning and comes here after work, then always stays overnight, basically lives here already. But he sleeps in my room not with my sis coz even though she’s already 22 my father still wouldn’t let them sleep together.

The problem is, my sister’s old boyfren still wouldn’t let go of her. So, even knowing that she already has a new bf, he comes every other day to find my sister. She’s not ignoring him also, since they’re still on friendly terms. But thank god, thank god the 2 guys never meet each other in my house coz the old one leaves in the afternoon and the new one only comes back from work after that. I don’t even want to imagine how awkward it would be if the unthinkable happens. They know of each other la of course.

I did a little survey on which guy my family likes more:

Mom : No preference
Dad : Both also very ma-fan (regarding the whole affair)
Sis : (I never asked but of course she prefers the new 1)
Me : I dunno…both seems like nice guys. They never try to bribe me also... Eh wait got; the old 1 bought me the uchiha sasuke keychain that I really like and hang on my laptop bag, the new 1 booked tickets to treat our whole family to watch “Enchanted” the other day (but we didn’t go coz we decided to let the 2 of them ber-romantic together, and I have a date also on that day). But takkan bribe like that only meh. I’m waiting for more u know…

Ok la my life isnt that meaningless. happy?

The PC version of FIFA 08 is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo disappointing. totally different from ps3 version (much worse). EA Sports sucks. I think I'll just buy winning eleven.

I also bought football manager 08 which also has a lot of different stuff compared to the old version. The most notable change is the new skin which is making me go blind. overall quite disappointed also. stupid Sports Interactive.

I'm deprived of both my main sources for entertainment now that they're not that entertaining anymore. My life became so meaningless. I wanna die. or at least hibernate until next year when fifa n fm 09 come out.

nothing to update

Gold Coast trip

It was really fun. I heard them laugh from their heart many times during the trip, and that was probably the most memorable part of it.

The end

The joy of freedom

The relief when the paper wasn't as hard as i thought it would be

The light steps i took walking home

The burden of the dread

The uncertainty of the future

The smiles that subconsciously creep up

The disappointment, from expectations

The emptiness of nothingness

blek

Will the world be a better place if I dont exist? Nah I'm not that depressed yet.

of PS3 and fifa 08

My housemate just got a new ps3. He traded in his old ps2 so he got the new one for only $499. We both had exams today but still wasted the whole afternoon yesterday playing FIFA 08. OMG I still cant believe he really bought the game.

Fifa's gameplay has always been criticised for not being real enough, so they have always been trying to emulate Winning eleven. They tried in Fifa 07 and failed, and even the graphic sucks. Fifa's graphic has always been superior to winning eleven.

But this time, the gameplay was almost a carbon copy of winning eleven's, and the graphic is unbelievable. I like it. Cant wait to get the pc version coz i can only play well with keyboard.

today was fun =)

Quote of the day

平时有烧香，临时不会死
(Wong 2007)

I have never been as hardworking in my whole life as I was yesterday. There's an engineering mechanics due today and also an electronic lab test at 9am. Yesterday after waking up at 9 to do a lab report and submitting it at 3, I went straight to doing the assignment until 9, resting only for half an hour to have dinner. I was so tired and so proud of myself that I let myself play some computer games until 11.30. Then I set my alarm to go off at 12.30am to study for Elec lab test, and went to sleep.

But it never rang, or so it felt. I woke up with a start at 9.20 and rushed to the lab. They were already halfway through the test. But I settled down and did ok. I've just submitted my engineering mechanics assignment, had a great lunch, and now feel much better. 2 more hours of lecture to go this afternoon and I'll be done with this semester!

Kill Me Now

The moment of the linear momentum vector mv about the origin O is defined as the angular momentum H of P about O, and the moment about the fixed point O of all forces acting on m equals the time rate of change of angular momentum of m about O. The total angular impulse on m about the fixed point O equals the corresponding change in angular momentum of m about O.

- Engineering Mechanics Dynamics 5th Edition pg 202-203 -

I need a life.

I need a dream.

I need more time.

I need sleep.

**********************

On a less emo note, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is right at the top next to Full Metal Panic Fumoffu, IMO.

Today

Today I woke up at 8.30 and missed the 8am math lecture. I checked my handphone and found that I have subconsciously adjusted my alarm to go off at 9 so that i will miss the lecture. This is weird because I usually subconsciously set it at 8.30.

***************

Today, after lunch, I went to the housing office to submit a form. After that, I went into the escalator, and the door closed. There was only this old lady in the escalator with me. Ok maybe she's not old, she looked a little younger than 50. and suddenly, she said, "Hi, I like your shoes. They're so...cool."

I was wearing my Nike Air with revolutionary design and state-of-the-art shoewear technology.



I would've been flattered, if she's a teenager. But she's not, and I was so shocked by her compliment that it took me 2 seconds before I answered "Thank you" with a huge artificial smile on my face. I feel as awkward as one caught in an escalator with a woman older than one's mother who just complimented how cool one's shoes are can be. And that's very, very awkward. She was opening her mouth to probably compliment my shoes further when fortunately, the escalator doors opened and a guy came in. She did not resume the conversation.

After some thinking, I have formed a few possible hypothesis:

1) She likes younger men and was hitting on me.
2) Her son's birthday is coming up and she likes my shoes so she wanted to know where to buy them. If this is indeed the case, I would have to tell her "Ipoh".
3) She collects Nike shoes since 1950.
4) She works for Adidas and have never seen that model before (as it's not sold in Australia) so she plans to get a pair and steal all the technology.
5) Not talking for 10 seconds while waiting for the elevator to get down to ground floor is too unbearable so she was trying to make conversation.
6) She's young at heart, or at least try to be.

************************

Today, I also earned $10. Of course, it requires some sacrifice. I have to be a guinea pig for those psychos in psychology department and let them mess with my mind and my sense of identity. I was forced to read 96 malay sentences on the screen while they study my eye movements, no doubt to penetrate my thought and use the info obtained against me in the future. It was quite fun and I made some new friends too (other guinea pigs). Easiest $10 I've ever earned.

"Death is always less painful and easier than life! You speak true. Yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make."

-The Fool-

I just ignored my soon to be due lab report and watched Jay chow's new movie online.

http://www.crunchyroll.com/showseries?id=5297

his acting still sucks.

good movie though

i can make it. just 2 more days!

Current confidence level 130/100

I just had 2 quizzes consecutively from 2 to 4pm and I'm not dead yet! Woohoo! Impossible is NOTHING! Bring it on!

I downloaded some songs from stephanie sun's new album, and i dont know if it's bcoz i dont have the chance to listen to many chinese songs lately but the songs actually sound quite good. ok it may sound like i dont like stephanie sun but thats not the case. i just dont usually like the 1st singles from her albums. this time i find it quite enjoyable.

that said, i still prefer her 2nd single (我懷念的)

For ppl that cant read chinese the previous post was just about how much i hate c programming and how slow i type in chinese

中文 post

既然都已经用国语写了一篇post， 今天就尝试一下以中文来写吧。(这一行字我打了至少两分钟)

我发觉我很讨厌 C Programming. 不是应为它闷, 相反的它其实很有趣地...可是,每一次做tutorial的时候它都会让我觉得自己很笨, 应为简单的一题基本题目我都属要花上正个钟头去解决,而且有时还解决不了.咳..下个星期就要交assignment了,我还没头绪要怎样做...怎么办呢?

用中文打字真的很辛苦...

Merdeka

Sempena Hari Merdeka saya akan menyahut cabaran Audrey dan mengikut trend blogger-blogger lain pada bulan ini untuk berblog dalam bahasa melayu.

Pertama sekali, ingin saya memberi sedikit pujian kepada saudari Daphne atas ketekalannya berblog dalam bahasa melayu sepanjang bulan Ogos. Azam Daphne dalam menghabiskan misinya harus dicontohi semua. Sekiranya para pembaca berasa stail penulisan saya seperti menjawab soalan pendidikan moral, ini adalah kerana ayat bahasa melayu penuh yang terakhir yang saya tulis sebelum ini adalah ketika saya belajar di matrikulasi dahulu. ini adalah alasan yang sangat munasabah dan haruslah diterima oleh semua pembaca. Ya, saya masih ingat lagi yang 'semua pembaca sekalian' adalah salah dari segi tatabahasa.

Baiklah, kembali ke tajuk berblogging dalam bahasa melayu, ide ini sebenarnya tidak lahir dari fikiran Daphne. Dia sebenarnya hanya menyahut seruan seorang blogger lain yang patriotik. Akan tetapi, blogger ini juga bukan blogger Inggeris pertama yang berblogging dalam Bm. Tidak, kerana seingat saya saudari Tan Sze Huey telah berblogging dalam BM pada bulan merdeka tahun lalu !(ataupun 2 tahun lalu. lupalah) Dan sekiranya pembaca sekalian ingat perkataan 'ide' pada permulaan perenggan ini adalah kesalahan dalam penaipan, saudara saudari telah tersilap. Ide sebenarnya adalah cara lama untuk mengeja perkataan idea dan masih lagi sahih mengikut dewan bahasa dan pustaka. Haha tengoklah, BM saya sungguh hebat bukan!

Demi menyambut bulan merdeka, saya telah memuat turun dua buah lagu yang merupakan versi alternatif lagu kebangsaan kita, iaitu versi rap yang telah menimbulkan kontroversi di negara kita serta lagu hawaii yang telah dicuri melodinya untuk menjadi lagu kebangsaan kita (untuk maklumat lanjut layari kennysia.com)[dan orang-orang bodoh yang ingat "muat turun" adalah translasi saya sendiri untuk perkataan "download", anda telah tersilap. Frasa ini juga sahih dalam BM). Saya mendapati kedua-dua buah lagu ini sunnguh sedap dan tidak muak walau didengari sepanjang hari. Siapa sangka lagu kebangsaan kita boleh menjadi sebegini lunak?

Ok lah, sampai sini sahaja coretan saya pada kali ini. Pos ini sepatutnya ditulis semalam sempena hari kebangsaan, tetapi semalam saya telah meraikan merdeka dengan menjamu selera di restoran Msia dan selepas itu menonton filem Bourne Ultimatum di pawagam dan saya berasa sungguh letih selepas saya pulang ke bilik. Akhir kata, ingatlah bahawa ianya bukan "mempersiasuekan" tetapi "menyiasuekan" dan 31 Ogos adalah hari kebangsaan dan bukannya hari jadi Msia, kerana hari jadi Msia adalah pada 16 September iaitu ulang tahun pembentukan negara Msia. Ya saya tahu, iklan-iklan itu semuanya terencat akal.

There are a few things that i must do after coming back from class before i start doing work coz nobody do work right after class. They post-class activities:

1. Online - check email, google reader, ESPNSoccernet, facebook etc
2. have snack
3. play computer games
4. evening nap, sometimes

And before I know it, it'll be dinner time!
After dinner, there are also a few things that I have to do coz studying right after dinner is just so depressing :

1. online - check email (again), google reader(again), ESPNSoccernet(again), facebook (again)etc
2. continue where i left off with my computer games
3. have desert (sometimes)
4. read manga onine (currently one piece)
5. Watch TV

And before I know it, it'll be 10.00pm ! Then I'll feel really guilty and start doing work, unless it's friday.

What mean he?

Our Prime Minister on the newly proposed 'Apex Universities' :

" ... student intake in these universities would not be based on race but the enrolment must reflect the country's ethnic diversity."

?????????

It would be incorrect to say that I dont understand what he meant but his message eludes me. Despite being blatantly obvious, the meaning of the sentence is apparently hidden. It took me an eternity shorter than the time for my blog to load to ponder upon its meaning. Oh paradox!

I wanna be hardworking!! Give me back my will to study!!! Give me back my kiasuness!!!

What's happening to me? This is not how a jpa student's life shud be. I feel so guilty and yet there's just a really really thick mental wall blocking my way, stopping me from studying. i need someone to control the amount i play and study. like my mum. gosh that was so immature.

i feel miserable when i study as well as when i dont study. sigh....is this really the right path for me? i shud've jsut become a professional gamer.

there r some times when u just hate ur life.

All parents damage their children. It cannot be helped. Youth, like pristine glass, absorbs the prints of its handlers. Some parents smudge, others crack, a few shatter childhoods completely into jagged little pieces, beyond repair.

Dance

Hmm, interesting.

Last night, I was happily playing computer in my room when someone banged on my door really loudly. so i went to open it and found a police standing outside. and he went,"Hi there, are u alrite?"

It took me around 5 decisecond to get over my shock and reply ,"Yeah I'm perfectly fine. Is something wrong?"

"Oh, we're just checking. A few minutes ago someone from this house called and asked for help for an overdose of drug. So everyone in this room ok?"

"Yeah, I;m the only one in my room."

I looked behind him and there were six other cops in the house. My housemates were all outside their room looking confused. After checking all the rooms and was satisfied that we were all safe and sound, the cops reluctantly left the house. I looked out from my window and there were, besides the police cars, two ambulance outside the house as well. The cops realised that i was looking at them and they looked back at me suspiciously. I quickly took a couple of steps back.

The cause turned out to be my housemate's ex-boyfriend. after they broke up he went a bit mad and started disturbing her. She even have a restraining order against him. last night was just another thing he did.

Such interesting housemates i have. Another housemate of mine broke up last week and even came to my room to talk.

I love this place.

Did I mention that my unit is the biggest and newest house on the street? It's also the house closest to the engineering faculty. My yet another housemate told me he had to wait for 3 years to get this house.

Audrey and Wanmit performed last night! *gasp* Dancing!

i just had a quiz worth 10%. easy as hell. shouldnt have studied. wasted all those game playing time.

Unwritten live

To feel for urself how good the lyrics for 'unwritten' is watch this

i take back every criticism i ever made of the new harry potter book.

harry potter and the sze ching who became a nerd

I just came back from watching harry potter. a while back i watched the 3rd one on tv and it looked so childish. i thought i've grown up and was afraid that i might find this new one childish too, but fortunately it's quite good. I didnt expect luna lovegood to be pretty! she gets annoying after awhile though. i must say the acting still sucks (referring to the students. the grown ups were good) but i didnt have high expectation in that aspect anyway. all in all, not bad. watchable.

speaking of harry potter, i bought the book. yes the new one. no i did not line up from 3am to buy it on the 1st day. isnt very gripping so i still havent finished reading it yet. no its not bad, harry potter has always been more than good, this one is just not good to the point of being excellent. i've also bought to kill a mockingbird and the hobbit in melbourne and borrowed the latest artemis fowl from chean yeaw and the 2nd and 3rd book of the tawny man trilogy (robin hobb) from my housemate. therefore, i have decided to become a nerd and do nothing after class but read and play computer games. did i mention that i started playing harvest moon? it's something like the sims, but u only control a person who is a farmer and you run your farm. you can also court 5 ladies from the next town. so fun right?

Rooney rocks!

I did not create this person. he scored in the game between china under 19 and s'pore under 19 and i saw him by chance.


his ability is as weak as can be. player value $0.

songs

I think Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" has the best lyric ever written. Currently addicted to the song.

has also been repeatedly listening to Katie Noonan's "Time to Begin" and the latest bleach ending theme "daidai" by chatmonchy.

Nerdy pickup lines

From the facebook group nerdy pickup lines. i almost died laughing.

1. You're like an exothermic reaction, you spread your hotness everywhere!

2. I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves

4. If i was an enzyme, i'd be helicase so i could unzip your genes

20. I wish I were your second derivative so i could fill your concavities.

22. By looking at you I can tell you're 36-25-36, which by the way are all perfect squares.

23. It doesn’t take a genius to see how gorgeous you are, but if it did, I would be overqualified.


25. What do you say we go back to my room and do some math: Add a bed, subtract our clothes, divide your legs, and multiply

31. You have nicer legs than an Isosceles right triangle.

33. When you and me get together it's like superposition of 2 waves in phase.

34. Want to meet up so I can excite your natural frequency?

36. You know.. it's not the length of the vector that counts... it's how you apply the force

37. If I move my lips half the distance to yours... and then half again... and again... etc.... would they ever meet? no? Well in this specific case i am going to disprove your assumption.

38. Your name is Leslie? Look, I can spell your name on my calculator!

42. Our love is like dividing by zero.... you cannot define it

44. Baby let me be your integral so I can be the area under your curves

46. Lets get together and test the spring potential of my matress

47. Let's discover our coefficient of friction

63. That dress would look better accelerating towards the floor at 9.8 m/s/s

68. Baby, I can feel an attraction between you and me, and it's more than just our universal gravitation...

73. At absolute zero, you would still move me

84. Baby ill be your asymptotes so i can shape your curves...

85. Would you like to see the exponential growth of my natural log?

86. If you were a graphics calculator, i'd look at your curves all day long

88. hey girl, let's get together and figure out our heat of fusion

90. hey baby, lets figure out the torque of your mass on my rod

91. baby i just drew a pic of you on my ti83 but ur sooo hot my screen melted

94.I don't know if you're in my range, but I'd sure like to take you home to my domain.

97. You're so hot, you must be the cause for global warming.

105. You must be an asymptote, because I just find myself getting closer and closer to you

110. My love for you is like a convex function's positive first derivative, because it's always increasing.

116. In Euclidean geometry two parallel lines never touch ... let's go back to my place and study some non-Euclidean geometry.

117. My vector has a really large magnitude. Would you care to normalize it?

118. Roses are #FF0000, violets are #0000FF. All my base are belong to you.

129. Can I bombard your singularity with my rocket ship until you supernova?

133. The direction fields of my heart all point to you

140. Lets make love like pi; irrational and never ending

145. Maybe later we can go over to my place and titrate until you reach your end-point...

146. The word of the day is "Legs", lets go back to my place and spread the word

151. Being with you is like switching to polar coordinates: complex and imaginary things now have a magnitude and direction.

154. Baby you must be a modulus sign, 'cos whenever you wrap your arms round me i always feel positive!

156. You're so hot you denature my proteins

175. Girl whenever I am near you, I undergo anaerobic respiration because you take my breath away

180. Your beauty defies real and complex analysis.

181. Your hottness is the only reason we can't reach absolute zero.

192. you are like a proton in my core--without you i could never be the same.

209. Like a graph with n^2 edges, you complete me.

222. Why don't you remove those barriers to imports? It will ease my inflation and the benefits will trickle down.

225. what say we slip between my beta-pleated sheets and you get to know my alpha-helix?

232. You must be sin squared, because I'm cosin squared and together we equal one.

You know the slogan for adidas, impossible is nothing? well, i didnt think much of it at 1st coz it sounds so ordinary, but a few months ago i suddenly realise what it means and fell in love with it.

a small, low-budget sports company would've come up with something like 'nothing is impossible', but adidas is not some small, low-budget company. they dont deny that there are things that are impossible, but with adidas, impossible is nothing.



so cool !

****************************************

happy bday yeam, nooi hoay and linda! and also sis, of course.

so sien la~~~

Happy Birthday Sis!

Hmmph...my official 100th post.

I shall waste it by wishing my sister happy birthday! 祝你福如东海，寿比南山! *wrapping my left palm over my right fist and moving them up and down*


p/s this is the nicest pic of you i can find. the rest all look very ugly. =P

Professional Engineering

I mentioned once that im taking a subject called professional engineering, which sounds very professional. 40% of the mark for that course is related to a project for a competition.

The task:
As an engineering team, design and build a mechanical device that can deliver a payload (a rubber ball) into a small, rigidly fixed cylindrical aluminium container from a distance of between 3-6m in 0.5m increments, across a reasonably smooth concrete floor. The device must be as inexpensive and lightweight as possible. Use your knowledge in HSC physics and research other areas as necessary to perform the engineering analysis necessary for ur design. The winning team will receive a cash prize of $500.

The score is calculated in the following way:
Score = [d*(t+ot)*m*p*c] where

d = distance from target centre to centre of ball in cm (d=1 if ball delivered into container)
t = time (secs) till payload touches the ground or stops moving
ot = time that team runs over 30sec setup time
m = device mass (kg)
p = cumulative penalty
c = cost index

sounds fun right? it was fun. my group consists of myself, 2 local white guys and a guy from Dubai. I believe its the best team in the course. no, really. it was a great team coz they're all very capable. sometimes i feel like im the least productive member of our team.

after a few months of hardwork in the engineering workshop, we produced this :



looks good doesnt it? its a great design. after a few test run sessions where we can see how the other teams do, we realised that we were serious contenders for 1st place. we use shock cord wrapped around the axle to turn the back wheel, whereas a lot of teams choose to use motor or rubber band. In the end, it proved to be the correct choice coz the devices that use motors are slower and more expensive than ours and those that use rubber bands are not powerful enough. We were the fastest team in the competition and our device is one of the cheapest. unfortunately, we didnt win coz during the competition our ball didnt come out of the pipe to drop into the aluminium can.

Even so, im still proud of all that we've done. it was a great team, a great device, and a great effort. heck, even the report in the end looks more professional than any report i;ve done before even though i only spent half an hour doing my part. professional engineering isnt such a terrible subject after all.

I'M ALIVE !!! IM ALIVE !!! AND I'VE NEVER FELT SO ALIVE BEFORE!!

THE SEM IS OVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had mamak night last night!!!!

Doesnt sound quite right. Let's try that again.

We had mamak night last night.
The queue to register at the start was really long, the queue to take the food was long kinda long too. And the food was bad. The mango pudding at the end saved the night tho. I offer you who made the pudding my most sincere gratitude, whoever you are.

How to win in Super Mario with lightning speed

Unputdownable

At the start of the sem when i was still very free and have nothing to do, I asked my housemate if she has any good storybooks that i can borrow. She lent me a fantasy trilogy by Robin Hobb caled the "Farseer Trilogy". It's about this bastard (look, bastard isn't really a foul word. It means anak luar nikah. I only knew that when i read the first book. It uses the word bastard extensively) to the Prince of some imaginary land with magic and stuff. I didnt really get to read the book coz settling down took more of my time than i have imagined.

A few days ago I started reading it properly, not for lack of better things to do but bcoz I have a lot of major assignments to do and books to study, and thinking of them depressed me so i seek refuge in a storybook i wasnt even interested in reading (perhaps bcoz of its title. Assassin's Apprentice doesnt sound very appealing to me). I read a few chapters and it gripped me, making me stop myself from putting it down when i wanted to. I spent all my free time for two whole days reading it, and i tried to prolong my free time by skipping lectures, sleeping less and not doing work. I couldnt believe how good the book is. I highly recommend the trilogy. Well, the 1st book anyway. Im just starting the 2nd one.

The Farseer Trilogy
Author : Robin Hobb
Books : Assassin's Apprentice , Royal Assassin and Assassin's Quest
Rating : 20/10
Reason : Bcoz it's good la.

And if u dont like it after reading it, its bcoz u have no taste.

There are some things you just cant tolerate

I hate ppl who:

1. use ellipsis after every fcking sentence......seriously, leaving every sentence trailing isnt a very cool thing to do....it's annoying and makes you look retarded................................

2. add z after lol. What the hell is lolz??????? Laugh out lousy?

3. must absolutely use haha after every other sentence.

All you retards who use ....haha....lolz... pls go and die.

Somebody pls remind me what im studying so hard for

The lyrics of Linkin Park's songs are actually quite meaningful

Today Audrey, Wanmit and me are supposed to follow a trip to Blue Mountain but due to some unforseen circumstances we missed the van that was supposed to take us there. Getting stuck between two very pek chek girls can be a very frightening experience, but boz im strong i persevered. In the end, I can only say 1 thing:

Spiderman 3 is good.

I can say this bcoz we were so pekchek to wake up before 6am for nothing that we went to eat dimsum and watch spiderman 3 instead. Then go back and sleep.

On a totally unrelated note, I fell in love with Linkin Park's new song Leave out all the rest and has been listening to it over and over again.

I dreamed I was missing
You were so scared
But no one would listen
coz no one else care

After my dream(ing?)
I woke with this fear
What am I leaving
When I'm done here
So if you're asking me I want you to know

When my time comes,
forget the wrongs that i've done
help me leave behind some
reasons to be missed.

Dont resent me
and when you're feeling empty
keep me in your memory
leave out all the rest
leave out all the rest

Such a suitable song to be played 24/7 in a hospital, dont you think?

In response to Nooi Hoay's blog entry entitled "Ad Hoc Committee"

For those of you who know Chau Wang, you might find this post relevant.

I do not know what is fuelling this but there must be a good reason behind his overflowing enthusiasm in playing his role as a secretary so well. I'm simply impressed.

To satisfy your curiosity, click example.

And for your information, this is not the only report that he has prepared so far.


P/S: I am but just a silent, inactive member. Yet I have been appointed as the chairperson of the ad hoc committee. Weird enough. :P

Yup, he really is enthusiastic. Gave me a shock. (Click example 2)

Anouncement

I shall be in Melbourne from 29 June to 07 July.

THE PRESTIGE

I finally get to watch the movie. It.was.TOTALLY.FANTASTIC. From the numerous twists to the antagonisation of Thomas Edison, the movie was simply unbelievable (didnt really admire Edison before this anyway. who cares about light bulb when we can have florescent light?) I cant understand why the movie didnt sell as well as Titanic. Its so much better! Publicity problem perhaps. Maybe if the heirs of Thomas Edison sue the film it'll get big.

I prepared for my Professional Engineering presentation yesterday and i enjoyed it. y did i procrastinate in the 1st palce?

How to cure laziness

I am lazy. There's no denying it, and most of d ppl that know me know it. I'm not proud of it, serious. I dont understand how some ppl can say they started doing a certain assignment the day before it's due or started studying for a test only the day before with such pride, as if showing off that they can pull it off with so little effort. Shut up, man! Stop bragging about it already. How can u not feel guilty everytime u say that? Do u not know this pride of urs will someday be the cause of ur doom?

I am lazy, I know that. And so far, miraculously, I can still cope with life despite my laziness. But i dont want to be lazy. I feel pathetic. Its just that the dread of doing work that i feel seems to be a lot stronger than other ppl's. How can I cure this laziness of mine?

Ling Weng said no cure. Maybe she's right. Jia Haur said i need motivation and inspiration. Maybe he's right too. Maybe I'm lazy because my life has no purpose and so i have nothing to work hard for. Where can i find my motivation?

U've probably figured out that i'm writing this so that i dun hav to prepare for my presentation.

I am bleeding profusely

Jia stabbed me. Mortally wounded, I still managed to come up with this piece of literacy art.

Students Not Ready For Real World : Study by Madeleine Wilson

PARKVILLE, 26 March. Behavourial scientists have recently become aware of the phenomenon of university circadian rhythms and their unique effect on students' biological clocks. Australian behavourial science research team Y Is It So has released a report on the subject which reveals that during the universtiy season, sutdents become accustomed to study (or 'work') for just 7 months of the year, with 5 months of free time. The report suggests that this handicaps students for life after they graduate, because university circadian rhythms are vastly different from those in the real world. "Students are ill-prepared by university for the average 11 months of work required in the workforce, for example," explained Dr. Coatworthy, a member for the Y-team.

The report also details other biological changes in students, such as dramatically altered sleeping and eating habits. This has been attributed to the extreme increase in exposure to light that students must undergo while studying, such as lots of tmie spent in brightly lit lecture theatres and libraries. The biological clock of students learn to function on less sleep than during the non-university season. There is also a marked increase in appetite during the university attendance season, especially for caffeine and sugary, processed snack foods.

Additional studies suggest that the university circadian rhythms can vary according to the course each student takes. For example, students undetaking an Arts degree become accustomed to not waking before 10:00 am, and not at all on Fridays. Engineering students, however, have been seen to develop a rhythm of early mornings and late nights which increases in severity around examination period (!!) Some evidence has been found that students undertaking a particularly complex double degree such as Science/Engineering become 'programmed' by their biological clocks to function on as little as half as much sleep as those in single degrees, and remain in a constant state of near-collapse.

This a major biological breakthrough, but further research is hampered by the extreme shortness of the university season. Universities with longer attendance seasons are now being considered as research candidates, making it unlikely that any more studies will be conducted in Australian universities.

Easter

Yeam came to Sydney for Easter!!!!

The few marks he left here:





We cooked

Sze Huey and Sher Reen came too. When they were in Usyd i had no idea what to show them coz even though our uni is indisputably the prettiest and biggest in Australia, there are only the buildings to show and once you've seen a few you've seen them all. And of course, there are the quadrangle and Vittoria Park.

They seem to have enjoyed the trip. See how happy they look?

Sher Reen even commended my tour-guiding.

The Mcquarie ppl came here too coz Quanyie, Chean Yeaw and Wai had a volleyball match in the malaysian sports tournament thingy. They surprisingly lost, even though Merlin flew here just to support qy. They visited my room and liked it. See how happy they were to see my house?


Yeam stayed overnight and the next day I brought him to unsw. Before that we cooked lunch together and it was really good. Yeam's agreement on the matter proves that i am not merely being perasan. I'm too lazy to upload d pics from my phone so u have to use ur imagination to picture how our cooking looked like. Just imagine very delicious looking chicken curry and vege soup and fried eggs and rice and leftover vegetarian beef rendang.

Yoke Heng came to spend the night at Audrey's place and I took her around campus again the next day before we go to Macquarie. When we were having lunch Yeam called me and asked for my help to persuade Meiji who suddenly decided that she should do work instead of going to Macquarie to see Selina. They desperately needed her to go to help carry the strawberry pies Yee Hong made. Yeam and Wen Jun threw everything they had at her (even flirt with her) but still failed to convince her to go. I thought that this would be fun so I called and used the skills I learnt while I was a PRS last time. After 20 minutes of sweet talking I succeded. This proves that Yeam and Wenjun super no skill (Long live PRS!).

And so we went to Macquarie, talking all the way and holding the pies all the way with Yee Hong complaining the pies were broken all the way. The trip itself was actually quite fun.

Their house was ok. The food that night was ok too. The games that night were also ok. Then the next day I found that smoke alarm is quite ok too coz it didnt go off when i fried ham.

I woke up at 4.30am in their house that night to watch MU trash AS Roma 7-1.

Then on the way back I bought "Voice of the Gods".

p/s: before all these i went to Featherdale wildlife park and Sydney aquarium but dont have the mood to blog about it so here's some pictures.

since bak has 1, merlin has 1 and sze huey has 1 i'll have 1 too

SATISFATION UNRIVALED BY MORTAL SENSATIONS!!!

(self explanatory title)

Quote of the Year

With assignments comes stress. Even when you are not doing your assignment the thought of having unfinished work will keep lingering at the back of your head. Stress will only build up as you procrastinate and the due date gets nearer. The only way to release yourself from the stress is by making progress. As you set a target to be achieved everyday, even if you dont meet your target you feel satisfied that at least you accomplished something. This way the stress keep reducing everyday as u get closer to completing the task. At the point of completion, you will be overwhelmed by a satisfaction unrivaled by any other senses in the mortal world.

IF YOU ARE FROM INTEC READ THIS!!!

Due to a suggestion from someone whose name is too insignificant to be disclosed here I hereby call upon all my INTEC compatriots who happen to read this to WRITE AN EMAIL TO ALL YOUR INTEC LECTURERS AND SEND THEM TOGETHER THIS SUNDAY (8 MARCH) 9 PM MALAYSIAN TIME SO THAT WE CAN FLOOD THEIR INBOX.

If you support this campaign please spread the news through your blog or by any other means you prefer.

"TOGETHER WE ARE STRONG"

An email to Pn Haz

Hi Pn Haz, Sze Ching here! How are you? I'm ok, dont worry. Things are fine here.I'm just writing to tell you that I have to write a 1500 words essay here too, for a subject called professional engineering. It's exactly like IS with all the Harvard style referencing. So you see, the skills I learnt in esls dont go to waste. Since it's due next week, I really should get to work. I'm actually writing this email just so that I can procrastinate longer. You can show this email to the juniors if you want to but its not very informative and i wouldnt mind if you dont. If you do, i guess it'd be to let them know that what they learn in esls will be used here. That is true. So ask them to try and enjoy doing esls coz they will have to do those things for YEARS to come.

Hope you wont scare the juniors too much with this email,
Sze Ching

Workshop

Today I’m happy.

This is because of this thing.

I have a workshop every week where I learn those stuff that we do in Kemahiran Hidup, just more advanced. Welding, blacksmithing, all those stuff. This week our task is to make the tool that u hit with hammer to make marks on metal plates. I don’t know what they’re called. We’re provided with a long metal rod and we must heat the tip of it until its glowing hot and then hit the tip with a hammer all round until it becomes pointy. Then we cut it off around 5cm from the tip and we have the tool! Our tools will then be given marks according to how beautiful and smooth they are. Its really, really hard work.

This is my result.



which I top my class with. That’s why I’m happy =)

I usually suck in these KH things. That makes me even happier.

And then the instructor showed us how to make a decorative metal leaf using the metal rod just for fun. Mine looks quite beautiful.



So I’m happy!

i shud tag 6 ppl 4 d previous post, but i ran out of ppl to tag so i'll just tag any half australian half malaysian guy who lives in sydney and happen to read my blog.

Detailed update

ok time to submit the full report of my sydney life.

lets start with the place i live. its in a suburb called darlington. In fact, the whole main campus is in darlington. during a campus tour our tour guide explained that the uni bought the whole suburb some time back and build the whole uni around the wentworth building, which is diagonally opposite my house. but the uni map shows that this place is more of a corner than a centre.

Lets start with the day i arrive. i reached sydney at around 8am, feeling a bit scared (coz i didnt know what to expect) and very excited (coz facing the unexpected excites me). The jpa officers were waiting for us at the airport and we were ordered to go to malaysian hall for a briefing. Considering that jpa officers picked up the curtin students and treated them to lunch at a RESTAURANT, I thought that they would at least cover our transportation. But no, we have to pay for the van that those officers booked for us ($10) to go to malaysian hall for NASI AYAM.And then pay ourselves to get to our accomodation ($15). On the way, we learnt that going to our place directly from the airport is actually cheaper. However, it was an order from jpa, it was not to be defied. Not that we're new to jpa's tyrannical style of doing things.

Along the way to where we (the darlington terrace and house occupants) were supposed to go to get our keys, we saw some really old style terrace house. Really vintage kind of house. Wong (kuan yuen) was joking that maybe our houses would be something like this. Then we went to the international office to take our keys and went to the address they gave. And guess what, those terraces are our houses.


this is my house


this is my room

But this place is quite convenient. its close to my class, to king street which has a lot of restaurants, lots of bus stops, and the international office is just a few metres away. the nearest shopping complex is 15 minutes walk away though. and thats the nearest place to buy bread. so, i do weekly shopping.to walk there i must cut thru a beautiful park called vittoria park.



I also joined a lot of clubs. there's the malaysian club, engineering club, unimates (where international students get together to have fun) and the most important 1, the anime club. there's screening every tue, wed and thu afternoon. i feel so happy there's a club like this.

oh and the smoke alarm went off 3 times while i cook. but nothing happened.
