the rich poor divide

People who are poor, and don't open their mouths, loses all the time.

All the time.

In the past, when we were all young and shielded from the outside world by school, one would naively think that he was good, and had put in alot of effort into doing things, when compared with the local school population.

As we grow up, we are increasingly being exposed to more and more people from outside our circles, and the population grows. With the increase in population comes the increase in competition. And after seeing the things they do, one realises that he has actually done nothing at all, and he is just a damn loser. I can't live up to the expectations.

Its 5am in the morning. I think I'm not conveying what I want to say, without saying too much.

like poles repel

My father switched off the television and lights in his room, walked out to the kitchen, wanting to have his dinner. He saw that my mother was still in the kitchen, so he went back to his room, switched on the lights and television, and sat down again.

When my mother wakes up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, her habit is to use the toilet in the kitchen instead of the bathroom in her room. The first thing she does each time when she steps out of her room is to first look into my father's room. If there's nobody inside, she concludes that my father is still in the kitchen, so turns back into her room and use the bathroom. Otherwise, she will proceed on to the kitchen.

On a sidenote, my house has a new rice cooker, and its so new, my rice gets overcooked every night. Haha.





I didn't know the new version of Chrome came with themes until my friend pointed it out to me haha.

The problem with themes is that they slow down startup noticeably, probably because the theme have to be applied first before the browser shows up.

the tomb of love

A friend of mine got married over the weekend, at the age of 22.

The story went something like this: This friend and the girl met and became friends back in school. The girl had a boyfriend, and they broke up last year. My friend and her became a couple at the end of last year, and by January this year, they were already talking about getting married.

A few months ago when a group of them went to Batam for a leisure trip, the girl flared up, apparently over some very trivial matters, and stormed off. The rest of the group spent the rest of the day looking for her.

Less than a week ago, the wedding almost got cancelled, because the couple quarreled.

In the end everything went well; the wedding proceeded as usual. Not that I want to say anything bad for such a nice event, but honestly I have my doubts about whether their marriage is going to work out. Hope I'm wrong though.

Will never understand how people can fall in love so easily these days.

sanity check

The recess week cannot come at a better time now that I'm starting to have difficulty catching up with the modules. The recess week is like telling the faster runners to pause, so that the slower runners can catch up. Once all the runners are [hopefully] next to each other again, the run resumes. Which means the slow runners don't get a chance to rest at all.

I have a couple more problems to go for my programming module's third problem set on RSA encryption, and the fourth problem set on complex numbers has just been released. I had just submitted my second assignment for my Life Science module last week, have not started on my third assignment, and the fourth one just came out.

Its Singapore Grand Prix next weekend! At least there's something to look forward to, although its already mathematically impossible for McLaren to get the world championship, thanks to some stupid driving at the last race.

Need for Speed: Shift is out! Had not [and I don't think] have the chance to play the PC version yet, but tried out the PSP version, which I feel is just Undercover without the police. Somehow I feel most game companies don't really put in effort into PSP games.

累。

I thought that movies like Suicide Club would stay where they were supposed to be: in cinemas, until eight students tried to commit suicide together, and of all places, in Singapore!

What in the world were they thinking of? Where have their past 10+ years of education gone to? Demon slayers? Save mankind? Revive back to life?

Oh man.

After a short breather last weekend after submitting CSOneOneZeroOneS' Problem Set 02, its back to rushing tutorials and lectures again this week. The good news is that the deadline for Problem Set 03 has been extended by four more days to include one more weekend into the recess week. Still there are a few deadlines to meet next week.

I received a rather amusing email recently:



Haha.
