it's wednesday night n tmr is labour day! a PH which means i dun have to work! hooray! not as shiok as our dear K who's away in another country holiday-ing! shiok shiok sia.... just one more year before i step into the working world where i can be financially stable and hopefully be able to go for holidays frequently. though working isn't all that fun, it gives sense of satisfaction when things are completed on time. talking about working, there are like so many jobs out there! but dun know which one to choose. today i received a card from moe. should i register for the event and go listen to the talk? maybe i should cast my net wide first before narrowing down. hahah...

fyp. final year punishment it seems. even before we all enter final year, the choosing of the projects, mentors etc, certainly is a project in itself. hopefully simtech takes me in as student! the project title seems interesting n do-able. ahaha....

recently, i get irritated by friends who use the words What-The-Fuck so freely. it's getting on my nerves really. like to every other things, the words will just flow out. n they dun seem to know i'm irritated by it.

pls dun use these words in front of me

well it happened again. they always happen when u least expect it. n it's quite impossible to prevent it. nope, i'm not talking about the rumours that's going around in ks (thanks to who-u-know). it's about some other things which leaves me damn preoccupied. i think one day i will be diagnosed with high blood pressure, hypertension etc. daniel is leading a damn stressful life where the unexpected elements are really unexpected. it's not like studying where there's cycles of predictable stress like tutorials stress, project stress, exam stress etc. i'm controlled by the unknown forces.

my sup found me another supervisor for my fyp. even the project title was proposed already! but then there's one huge hurdle to cross which is the admission criteria for simtech. minimum is second upper. i just missed that cut by a few points. arghhh.... hopefully can continue with my ia project cos it's super duper fun lah. though there are many repetitive tests to be done, every tests will generate different results. so wht i can do now is just to hope for the best.

talking about tests, i think for this week, the machines ganged up to bully me! firstly, the micro injection moulding broke down on me. yesterday, the GPC machine refused to start up after a power trip in the lab. and today, it still refused to start. i'm running short of time n i still have lots of samples to run. if only machines can listen to me i will coax them!

my friend's grandma passed away yesterday. it kinda surprised me because i saw her in church on sunday. though she's old already, she looked well. so it rather shocked me when the news came. but nonetheless, death is nothing but part and parcel of life. be strong aaron and enen!

house
home
what's the difference?
to some, it's the same
to me, it's not
besides the toilet,
the only place in my house i will go to is my room
some will lie on the sofa leaving no seat for me to enjoy the show together
so i will just go to my room n log on
n here i am again
blogging

tuesday already. so fast yet so slow times passes.
time seems to pass really quickly when u r enjoying yourself
n the opposite is true when u r not
though it's coming to the end of attachment, i still have around 6 more weeks to go
not long not short
after 4 months, i can say i like studying over working
how i wish i can study forever
hahahha

sunday was fun! thanks K for accompanying me to buy my new toy!! though it's a bit expensive, it's a lifelong investment which i think it's worth it! haahha....

yay! it's friday. the weekend!

basically this week had been quite usual. nothing out of the blue happend though i can't say for sure what will happen tonight! IA is into its fourth month. my samples are degrading well haha....
though the tests are quite routine, they are quite easy to perfom and quite relaxing so i dun mind performing them everyday! hahaha....

finally found people to go and watch forbidden kingdom and the tickets are free somemore! haha... power rite? you might ask what's forbidden kingdom all about?


The Forbidden Kingdom
An American teenager who is obsessed with Hong Kong cinema and kung-fu classics makes an extraordinary discovery in a Chinatown pawnshop; the legendary stick weapon of the Chinese sage and warrior, the Monkey King. With the lost relic in hand, the teenager unexpectedly finds himself traveling back to ancient China to join a crew of warriors from martial arts lore on a dangerous quest to free the imprisoned Monkey King. The Forbidden Kingdom is a mega production starring Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Peter Pau (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) is director of photography.


sounds cool ah? haha... initially, i thought it would be a chinese show with english show but it turns out to be an english-speaking show. i think it would be weird with those martial arts warriors speaking english in ancient China but that's only my take. we will have to hit the theatre to find out.

but that will have to wait until next week. something nearer. tomorrow. sat. band prac. looking forward to it. people at ks are friendly and they dun really have small cliques unlike some bands that i'm in. at ks, it's like one big family. u would feel welcomed there n i felt welcomed. hahah.......

sunday. offered to take over the teaching from pris until her exams are over. cos i do not have any exams so i'm quite free to prepare the lesson. hahah... it's always a challenge to try to convene the lesson to a class of rather active little children whose attention span is like 5 mins and whose energy level is always at maximum! hahaha........... smart children though, they would understand the lesson without difficulties!

i wonder what activities will it be on sunday? to all those having exams but still come and read my blog, all the best for your exams! you should be mugging hard and not spending time to read blogs!!!

101%

(got this from ym's email)


From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?
Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to GIVE OVER 100% .
How about ACHIEVING 101%?
What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help answer these questions:
If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N OP Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If: H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
And: K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But: A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:
L-O-V-E-O-F-G-O-D 12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

so have u recevied God's love ?

everytime i try to talk to my parents, they dun seem to understand.
they always try to give some advice which is not practical
they dun seem to understand the root of the problem
yet they try to give some kind of advice
then after they try to give some advice
they would tend to scold and ask me to keep my nose out of things
so practically, i'm supposed to keep my mouth and eyes shut and not give a damn about the things that are happening around me
but when things happen again, they would turn around and say i dun care
saying things like i live in my own world
after all these years and all that i went through, i learnt it's best not to say anything at all
no wonder people say 'silence is golden'
how true in my case

how hard to find someone to talk to
how hard to understand and be understood
but does it matter anyway?
i suppose no
since no one tries to put in any effort, why should i be the one trying to care about things?
so be it
let things happen as it is happening
and one day, it will come to the stage when things cannot be handled
but so be it
nothing matters anymore

i have a very nice IA supervisor and a colleague who's helping me very much with things that i do not know! so i mustn't disappoint them and i must produce work that exceed expectations!

Upgrading ( got this from a friend!)

Dear Tech Support:
Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of space and valuable resources.
No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure.
In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity.
Applications such as Pokernight 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected.
I cannot seem to keep Wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the un-install does not work on this program.

Can you help me, please!!!

Thanks, Joe



Dear Joe: This is a very common problem men complain about but is mostly due to a primary misconception.
Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program.
Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by its creator to run everything. It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system would Cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to un-install, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this. Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under Warnings-Alimony/Child Support'. I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and just deal with the situation. Having Wife 1.0 installed myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The Best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE.In any case avoid excessive use of the Esc key because ultimately you Will have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs. Wife 1.0 is a great program, but VERY high maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 2.1 and Chocolates 5.0. Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary With Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of luck,Tech Support

i'm sure none of my friends had gone through what i went through
the experience i will not want to go through it ever again
but then it's not up to me to decide

the experience is horrifying
the experience is disgusting
the experience is tormenting
yet u do not know of such things
u, the trouble maker
do not know of the psychological effects it may have on the rest of us
u simply like to do things without considering the consequences

yet u do not realise your folly
u r living in slumber
u make empty promises
none of your words can be trusted anymore

help was offered to u so many times
how many more times must be it offered before u actually received it?
what must we do to wake u up from your deep sleep?

what i learnt from BSF this week which i think it's very meaningful: God will provide at the right time.

so if u haven't accomplished something, ask God for strength to do it. but this doesn't mean students shouldn't study and still ask God to let him/her pass exams! since the exams are just around the corner, students, do your part by studying hard n leave the rest to God! Put your trust in Him!
