26 september IT'S OVERRRR!!!!PROMOS ARE OVER!!!
But I'm still screwed. Nvm, going to enjoy it while it lasts 23 september Beginning of the end...Econs promos today. Still got chem, maths and physics. I flopped GP liao, cannot flop the rest. Econs wasn't too tough today. Managed to do everything with time to spare. Need to study chem now, chem is tmr. I heard that half the paper is going to be organic chem and ionic equilibrium. 22 september Law of Sai KangBehold...
The Law of Sai Kang
(shit work)
Ok this is how it werks...
Ok first of all, let's establish that SaiKang (SK) always comes from upstairs. Sk cannot spontaneously appear, nor does it spontaneously disapper. So we now have the first law of SK First Law of SK states that SK cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only be passed on to one bearer to another. Alright, so from the illustration above, we see that there's a ladder for the SK to travel along between the Upstairs and the Downstairs. Since SK always comes from the Upstairs, SK will travel down the ladder via gravity to the downstairs. However, SK is unable to counteract gravity so the second law is established. Second Law of SK states that SK can only travel down from the upstairs to the downstairs and never the other way around. Now let's explain HOW MUCH SK is passed around. It depends on the upstairs. If your upstairs is constipated and likes to keep the SK to him/herself, then the amount of SK that travels along the SK ladder is insignificant. However, if the upstairs loves laxatives as much as the number of bytes of data in 1 terabyte, then the downstairs will receive the most amount of SK. Note that the middle portion of the ladder do not receive any SK at all. SK only ends up at the ends of the ladder, never at the middle, no matter how long the ladder or how many "middle people there are". Hence, Third Law of SK states that SK will only collect at the ends of the ladder, independant of how long the ladder is and amount of SK passed is determined by the viscosity of the upstairs. Given the equation:
Where, v = viscosity, Omega = total amount of SK, $ = monthly income of upstairs, S = SK constant, delta theta = size of downstairs Now, let's examine the time taken for SK to travel along the ladder. It depends. On what? Simple, gravity and the length of the ladder. Fourth law of SK states that time taken for SK to travel down the ladder from upstairs to the downstairs is directly proportional to the length of the ladder. Where t = time, g = gravitational constant (9.81) and L = length of ladder
13 september Life before PromosLife really sucks for now...So repetitive, go to school, study, eat,study,sleep,study,repeat. Haiz, I suppose it's good for me. People say they study because they want to learn more. I study to have a good career later on. Is that a good reason? Honestly I don't want to learn about econs or about integration. Why can't MOE let me learn what I want? Who gives a shit about contrasting subjects? When the going gets tough, we always question our purpose of studying. If it's a good purpose, it drives you on. Or even worse, if you have no purpose then you'll be torn down, by yourself...
Still searching for my purpose to study. But let's go with the good career one for now.
ROAR!
Ah, feel better now. 07 september Behold...BEHOLD
The first...
BLU-TACK GUNDAM!!!
Woohoo I am super proud of my Blu-tack gundam figure. I know it's not from the gundam series nor is it blue but hey it's a big robot, therefore it is gundam land it's black blue tack ololololol...Took around one and a half hours to make. Shit long and the opportunity cost was revising one set of notes but who cares...actually I should.
Blu-tack gundam specs.
Dimensions
13cm talll, 10 cm wide
Materials used
1 packet of Blu-Tack black from bostik $2.50 from popular eastpoint
1 piece of red card $0 From mum's office (decorative)
2 Large Pentel Maxiflo whiteboard marker caps $0 picked it up in primary school (shoulders)
8 Zig marker caps $0 picked it all up from various corners of VJ (limbs, I wrapped blu-tack around them to form the arms and legs)
1 Empty Pentel Ain mechanical pencil lead case $0 picked it up during primary school (gun)
3 magnet counters from an old magnet board game $0 it was a gift (barrel and scope)
All in all I spent 2.50 and 3/2 hours to build it. Quite a feat eh? Maybe I should start a business out of this. Heh heh heh...
I LOVE MY BLU-TACK GUNDAM!!! Muahahahahahahaha
05 september Random thoughtsI should be studying but oh heck, i shall consider this as GP training...
I was waiting for the MRT to go cut hair and I was thinking, what if some mad man suddenly pushed me onto the tracks just as the train was to arrive? Will it be murder? Yes definitely, but our dear madman won't get the death sentence, simply because he was mad. I would have been killed by an act of madness. Ok, now let's see this in another perspective. What if after I was run over by the MRT, the mad man draws a dagger, faces skyward and yells "You heretics must be silenced in <Insert cultist God name>'s name, <Insert cultist God name>, receive my spirit!" then stabs himself to death. Is it an act of madness or act of terrorism? Now the boundary is abit blurred. If this man was stopped from stabbing himself, will he receive the death sentence? Well, he is obviously deluded. He HAS control over what he wants to do and, by his own will, killed me. That's cold blooded murder isn't it? But he has been brainwashed, his delusion has dictated what he has done, so in a sense he can't control himself from killing me. That would make him a madman and spared the death sentence right? So should terrorists be spared the death sentence of exterminated.
On a seperate note, I was thinking, how would my loved ones react when they found out I was killed by an act of madness. I had no part in it, no chance to fight back, not my fault. In other words, I died for nothing. How would people react to that? Honestly, I would forgive my murderer. When you stand on the boundary between life and death, about to cross over into the darkness and look back. You'd realise that vengeance is indeed a rather petty thing. But how would my loved ones feel? I know my parents will sue the shit out of a reckless driver who killed me in a road accident. Everyone will feel sad. If the incident was published in the newspaper, people will feel pity. Now I know how it feels to be a relative/friend of a terror victim, why America swears to destroy those involved in the 911 incident. Their attack on Iraq might have been blinded by vengeance. Now that the dust has settled, they have realised their mistake and they MUST set things right for their major blunder.
Ok, now I've just cut my hair. I just trimmed it and thinned it actually. I want to keep my hair long during the end of year break so I'm not cutting it too much now. But I was thinking, would my hair be too long for my PW Oral Presentation? Would they penalise me for my long hair? And I was thinking WHY SHOULD THEY? I always argued for long hair. The Japanese males keep long hair. They have long hair when they go to school, go to work, make important business deals. Why not in Singapore? A Japanese boy who migrated over and attended his first day of lessons in a local school might get the shock of his life when teachers scold him for long hair. Let's consider the possible reasons why all boys should ideally sport a slope and short hair.
1. Neat, formal looking
2. Easy to maintain
I would think reason number one is the main reason. But honestly, WHY SO SERIOUS? Must all boys sport the same hairstyle? Girls have varying hairstyles, why can't guys? Is it Singapore's highly structured and organised societal system that requires boys to have their hair short? It makes guys look neat, that I do not deny. But if a guy leaves his hair long and styles it well, like the Japanese, why not? He looks, neat AND stylish. Long hair won't impede your academic pursuits, stop you from securing important business deals nor obstruct your social relations. It's time we Singaporeans, let loose. When we loosen up, creativity flows. Fresh ideas naturally fall from the sky when people are free to do what they want. And a good way to start is from our physical appearance. What's with ties, tucked in shirts and belts? What's with uniforms anyway? If uniforms are a must, design a loose, comfortable personalisable uniform. Our current uniforms often sacrifice comfort for neatness. The VJ uniform is FUC*ing HOT!!! And students who do wear their ties for the whole day do not button the first button, they let the tie hang loose. Buttoning up is suicide in Singaporean weather. Again, comfort is sacrificed and for what reason? Neatness, comformity. Yes, students must take pride in their appearance, not dress like a yahoo. I agree, but don't you think that students will take even MORE pride when they are able to choose what to wear, to simply be themselves? Why did the Be Yourself Day receive so much fanfare, because students LOVED it! Let's move on, a new paradigm shift awaits.
I can't wait for this generation of youths to take over Singapore. I will help spearhead our unanimous call for a new paradigm shift.
Interesting thoughts while waiting for the MRT and after cutting hair. 04 september Mega dayThis is lag entry. Revert date to 29th August 2008 Friday
Today was going to be a long day. But it was going to be GOOOOOOODDDD... Well, today's the last day of term 3, which means holidays are next week! But it's more like study at home week, cuz promos will be around 2 weeks after that...sad holidays. Anyway today was teacher's day too. We're supposed to treat our teachers to breakfast. So we bought pizza, ah Hui's mom made jelly. There was a box of DURIAN flavoured jelly. It was the most intriguing taste ever. Hooray for food science. HOO-RAH!
Thomas: This jelly tastes like...Durian...
Nichan: Yeah it's durian flavoured, I know it's weird.
Thomas: ??!!
Other than food, our class pooled our money together and bought stuff for our teachers. Ah Yuan and I went to Borders the other day and bought 2 books. PC for Dummies and a cartoon drawing book for Mrs Koh and Ms Lim respectively. Ah Hui took the drawing book to wrap and it looked amazing. I took the PC book home to crap on it (give various comments on the book) and it was crudely wrapped in raffia string used to tie the boxes of pizza together. Ling Zhi bought a necklace for Ms Ng and a really weird looking soft toy for Mr Teo, who ponned his own teacher's day (we decided to punish him by leaving the leftover durian jelly together with his present in his pigeon hole. How diabolical, muahahahahaha). Nichan bought a faux bling diamond ring/necklace for Mrs Toh. She put it on immediately and she looked quite nice with it. lolololol.
The subsequent concert was epic phail. There were some hilarious videos about teacher's epic phails. But other than that, it was bland. VJC is losing its flavour...WHAT IS GOING ON??? This is not the VJ I know!
Haiz....
Photos are with Ah Hui and Pris, i shall get them and post some of the highlights here.
After teacher's day. It was time to spend time with Bahnep. Bahnep, minus Kim Jong Wong, plus Cheryl were off to RSAF open house. Honestly, I'm not very interested in planes, I was kinda forced to go. But they had some cool stuff. There was this night vision segment which was AWESOME!!! I've always thought my night vision was good, but then when we were in pitch darkness, I sucked. Never had I experienced darkness when you couldn't see your own hand. Now I understand what it's like to be blind. But we had this night vision monocles thingy. And it's amazing. You can see everything. it's like another world. There was this "hospital ward" in one of the rooms. Take off the monocle and everything goes dark, nothing's there. Pretty cool. The flight sims were crazy too. Never knew it'll be so hard to fly a plane. I crashed as usual. I suck as a pilot both in BF2 and in real life. I like to stick to the ground or on water. Air is not good for me.
Photos are, as usual not with me...
After our RSAF thingy, we were supposed to meet at some stadium at 2.15 We spent quite a long time searching for the stadium and when we finally found it, it was 2.45 and the bus left without us. GREAT! Nobody called us, they jsut left. I was lost for words when I was told that the VJ buses left. Haiz, so our gang had to take a bus to Eunos where we walked over to roxy square to eat ban mian where ahmad left us for home. At Roxy Square, keith scum left us for home after irritating the SHIT out of us by simply repeating the words: Hello and Bye.
Frankly, the Roxy Square ban mian is mediocre, I don't understand why everybody loves it so much. Weird. Ok so cheryl left, Stigzor, Nemo and I proceeded onto COMEX!!! Muahahahahaha....
Comex was a mess. It was HUGE and teeming with people although it was only 4pm. We walked around in single file holding on to each other's bags. Nothing new at comex though. Just that memory prices have hit an all time low. 4 GB thumbdrive costs less than $20 and LCD TVs cost next to nothing now. I heard this clown yelling that some 48" LCD TV with standing speakers and all in 1 DVD player going for $345. Geez, I'll buy all his stock and re-sell them. Numbskull forgot to add a zero behind.
"Only for 3 - 4 - 5 dollars! Yah only for 3 - 4 - 5 dollars!"
Me: Whoa, did you hear that?
Kenny: Wot?
Me: That TV plus speakers and DVD pleher for $345 onli
Nemo: Siao!
Me: Moron must have forgotten to put an extra zero behind
Kenny and Nemo: LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Haiz, my quest for a gaming mouse continues. Razer was offering the Diamondback 3G for $74.90 (i almost choked and died). They offered me the older diamondback with "free" mousepad for $59.90. The old razer only had 1600dpi and it was white...so was the mousepad...like a fuc*ing MAC! I immediately erased it from my mental list. There was this uber cool mouse from A4 tech. Customizable weight, onboard memory, 2100dpi and hell lot of sxtra buttons. Feels good, looks good but costs $64.90 a tad expensive. Kenny also talked me out of it, A4 doesn't really make gaming mice so better dun buy. So I settled for the old Logitech MX518 which was selling for $39.90. I was quite pleased with it Not the perfect mouse but easy on the wallet.
We spent a while roaming Comex before heading home. My legs almost died from all the walking. Didn't have a proper place to sit since lunch...
So here were my bargains
My USB hub, my dad bought it for me. He went to COMEX on thursday without me. Thing about this USB hub is...HOW TEH F*CK DO I CONNECT IT TO THE PC??? Looks like I have to buy another male-male USB cable, sighs...
Here's my new baby. Looks good. SPECIAL OFFER $39.90!!!
My dad bought this too. Sonicgear headset. It works well, but it hurts the ears and the jacks aren't colour coded. WHY??!! Will it cost more to colour code it green and pink??? WHY??!!! Sighs
And also I bought this cheapo $20 drill for the sailing team from Carrefour. Methinks it won't last a year, but hey it's $20 right?
Now back to the present...
4/9/2008 Thursday
Life sucks now. Study study study. Worse than going to school. No friends to talk, sit at home and study. Haiz, the oly good thing is that you can sleep as long as you want and when you want. can't wait till end of promos...
