This is so yee hong-ish

freedom is sweet, and i can smell it ! oh 1 more day...

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.

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

last paper tomorrow !!

and i have to write something like this:

min = input('enter minimum value >');
max = input('enter maximum value >');
inc = input('enter increament >');
y=min-1;
counter=0;
for z=min:inc:max
for x = 1:inc
y=y+1;
if y==max
break
end
end
fprintf('%d\t',y)
counter= counter+1;
if counter==5
fprintf('\n');
counter=0;
end
end

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

Since i'm in Australia right now and its very expensive to buy ur present here and send it back, i decided to give u this instead :



happy or not? dont waste it har.

Cool Game

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.

After that we went to watch pirates! i like it!

i think i watch too much movies after coming here. mr bean, spiderman, tales from earthsea, pirates...

i shall survive this week. somehow.

If u think d snow patrol version of 'crazy in love' is cool watch the switchfoot version

super cool!!!

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.
