Yes finally my diploma is over. Yet another important agenda ticked off. It all happened like a flash, I can't seem to recall the actual situation already. All I knew was, my fingers were stiff like wood by the time I came out of the freezing room. Thank you all for your concern, I do appreciate them very much.

If you are wondering whether I did well, hmm actually I am also wondering, I am not sure too. Mixed feelings of mine, varied expressions of the examiners, and a full page of scribbling on my marksheet.

I DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST INKLING.

But I'd be happy enough if I were to pass, yes just a "pass", not a clear pass, not a high pass, not a distinction, just a pass and I will be over the moon, sun, or any other thing that you can think of.

Hope, hope, and only hope. It is two months before the quantum possibilities of my diploma result collaspes into one. It's like "Don't tell me the results of the soccer match, I'll watch it myself", the same logic it is.

I thought that I'd be much more relieved after this exam. But my current emotional state doesn't endorse the prediction. Well well, the important thing is, I'm watching harry potter with my dear dear dear tomorrow afternoon, and that is definitely something to look forward to right?


P.S If you wanna know the viva voce questions, approach me in private. thank you.

Or maybe I should continue.

You Are Emerald Green

Deep and mysterious, it often seems like no one truly gets you. Inside, you are very emotional and moody - though you don't let it show. People usually have a strong reaction to you... profound love or deep hate. But you can even get those who hate you to come around. There's something naturally harmonious about you.

What Color Green Are You?

Your Eyes Should Be Brown

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

What Color Should Your Eyes Be?

Yo Ki Wan's violet!
AND Jing Hao is colourful. But his is photoshop-ed colourful. The default doesn't have that. lol.

Down in I2R

Hey guys, I'm kinda stuck here in my tiny little workspace in I2R(its I squared R).

One guy per desktop. Scouring for codes of resource allocation simulation. Bad Bad.

Three people working together, looking for methods of resource allocation. Laggi best.

Look to the right, see a long scroll bar, with the tiny blue rectangle stuck to the top.

The tinier the rectangle, the longer the page, the more I have to read.

LOL, this isn't really the time to blog now.

Greetings my dear readers,

due to other readers' valuable feedbacks,

it has been justified that the music,

which previously resided in this blog,

had a tendency to create,

unexpected spasms of the heart muscles.


Therefore, for the health and safety of my readers,

the blog owner has decided to terminate, and also to,

remedy the problem, to prevent anymore,

losing of human sanity.


May I present Chopin's nocturne Op.9 no.2,

played by the two fellow pianists from pianosociety.com.

Do enjoy the never-before serenity.

Have a nice day.

Specialist Course

This few days has been of an emotional roller coaster.
It showed me how time can be wasted, and therefore how it should be utilised.
It showed me how things can be done inefficaciously, and therefore we should do things well.
It showed me the diversity of homo sapiens that I can possibly meet, and you can learn different things from different people.

I shall give a recount of the first day of my camp. It was written halfway before the start of the speech by Captain James Foo. I had written in blue ink.

The morning journey has been of a cold one. I went up the bus and sat with Xing Qiang who sat inside. I felt the unusual chill tickling me, although it was not strong initially. I sank into the cushioned seat, thinking of what to do next. Nothing, sleep, I thought, and I slowly let my eyelids cascade. The cold was becoming unsubtle, it was starting to blanket me with uncomfortable chill. I stacked my arms on my already uneasy stomach. Had it got a bit colder, my stomach would have succumbed to the inexorable call of nature.

Screw it.

The people around me were chatty, I could not even fall into a moment of unconsciousness. It's just another day of time wasting, I thought.

Soon, but not very, we had reached the camp. It was the somehow familiar Pasir Laba camp, with fresh looking accomodation....

I wrote til there. I didn't want to continue afterwards, I was too depressed to. Yesterday, I had knew that I attained a 3rd Seargeant for the course. It was not a surprise, I would be surprised if I had got a 2nd Seargeant. Those few days had been of mental torture, and that is not the optimal condition for me to perform.

Bah. Forget it, I don't really care since I had stepped into BCTC. I was happy enough to be at home, to be closer to civilisation, to be closer to humanity.

Congratulations to those who got a 2nd Seargeant. I should have been one of you. Well well, I do sound like whining very much.

Your EQ is 140

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Your Dominant Thinking Style: Experimenting

You're all about looking at the facts, and you could always use more of them. You see life as your lab - and you're always trying out new things, people, and ideas. The master of mix and match, you're always coming up with unique combinations. You are good at getting a group to reach consensus.

What's Your Thinking Style?

Your Interpersonal Intelligence Score: 67%

Your Interpersonal Intelligence is High You are definitely a "people person." You enjoy spending time with others. You instinctively understand people, and you are both a good counsellor and mediator. However, there are definitely times when you've had enough. And that's when you cherish being alone.

The last day of school

Guess this quite a special day. 2 of our teachers are leaving us, Miss Ong and Miss Tan will be leaving us. Well, they should, if not they will stay here until they are old? After my smp today, Miss Tan came to the concourse to mark files, I was intending to do my compo. After a while, we started to talk about music, yes, and that was 3pm+. We wanted to play the piano there but the NPCC was there, so we waited for some time, then Miss Tan and I enthusiastically rushed there to fufil our musical talks. We played and played, and lost track of time. It was rare though, I hardly find anyone to share my musical experiences and fantasies, so thank you Miss Tan, I had a great time, hope you did too.

Where does it come from—this quest, this need to solve life's mysteries when the simplest of questions can never be answered? Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Perhaps we'd be better off not looking at all. Not delving, not yearning. But that's not human nature. Not the human heart. That is not why we are here. Yet still we struggle to make a difference, to change the world, to dream of hope; never knowing for certain whom we will meet along the way. Who among the world of strangers will hold our hand, touch our hearts, and share the pain of trying.

heh take a look at this

lol.

the mrbrownshow.com: use less concrete

Hihi guys! I listened to this few days ago.

USE LESS CONCRETE! LOL, enjoy

Sorry guys I couldn't find the transcript for this.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

haha, I'm creating a database here of who has taken the quiz, and their results. Do tell me your results if you have taken it! I'll also add to the database if I see it on your blog. yay!

Ashlyn - White

Belle- White

Bryan- White

Chadin- White

Jian Feng - White

Jing Hao - BLACK

Ki Wan- Blue

Me- Blue

Vera(got it from Belle's tagboard, Belle's friend) - Blue

So Jing Hao is white's enemy.

O.o all white.

Yet another disturbing incident

Haha, I got this from Chadin's blog

A 17-YEAR-OLD student of one of Singapore’s top junior colleges allegedly punched a bus driver in the face during a quarrel on Wednesday.
The 53-year-old SBS Transit driver tried to stop the Hwa Chong Institution student from leaving.
The teen’s girlfriend, who is from another school, had been found to be using an invalid concession card.
The bus driver, who suffered minor bruises on his face, was given two days medical leave. He has lodged a police report against the student, and the police said they are investigating.
SBS Transit said it is taking the matter seriously as the driver was assaulted in the course of his duty.

The original article can be found here http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,130301,00.html

Interesting huh? Now read this http://newpaper.asia1.com.sg/news/story/0,4136,130302,00.html

When contacted, Hwa Chong Institution said the school 'deeply regretted this unfortunate incident which resulted from a misunderstanding'.
They said they do not condone unbecoming behaviour.
The school said the student is a good student and well-behaved and is distressed by what happened.
.
.
.
He claimed that he did not know the lost card had been branded as void and stolen until the end of the entire commotion.
When his friend tapped the card against the card reader, the card reader beeped continuously. He claimed the bus driver had not given any explanation.
He wrote: 'The bus driver detained us and didn't allow us to proceed. He asked her to produce the card and took it without explanation.

Argh, my blogger interface is screwed, I can't even preview or edit html. P.S If you're reading this the second time, it is edited, blogger is normal now ;)

Anyway, I think that the whole thing wasn't an accident. That is what I think though, maybe I am wrong. I think this has nothing got to do with the school, in contrast to what Chadin has said, it is the character of the person. It is the upbringing of the person, many factors contibute to this.

Maybe our education system is partly responsible for this, but either way, I'm not shocked, but quite disturbing. I haven't witness any of these incident before, rather it is natural for kids in developed countries to evolve towards that direction.

Some may say that social egalitarianism is to be blamed. Kids are talking about human rights, but I think it's alright to do so, no problem, it is HUMAN RIGHTS. You see, even I'm talking about it.

Organic Chemicals Discovered in Titan’s High Atmosphere

Since the twin Voyager spacecraft flew past Saturn’s moon Titan, Scientists have been excited about what its hazy atmosphere can tell us about the earliest days of our own planet. The Voyagers discovered that Titan’s atmosphere is swirling with hydrocarbons and other complex organic molecules that could be the building blocks of life. The latest findings from NASA’s Cassini spacecraft have uncovered these organic molecules floating higher in Titan’s atmosphere than scientists originally thought possible.

This latest research has been published in the May 11, 2007 edition of the Journal Science. It shows that these organic aerosols, called tholins, have been found in altitudes higher than 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) above the surface of Titan. And these molecules are formed differently than how scientists originally believed.

This inquiry is important because the Titan’s environment is thought to be very similar to the Earth’s early history, before the first life formed. A similar process could have happened here.

Hello guys I tried out the LINUX Ubuntu 7.10 just now. And I made a powerpoint!

Living Under the Crescent Moon

Yes, I visited the National Museum of Singapore today, and many other historical sites with my father. I went to this exhibition named Under the Crescent Moon, here's the website http://www.nationalmuseum.sg/crescent_moon/. It is an interesting exhibition, if not I wouldn't be blogging about it, with lots of artefacts and some art installation.

The exposition aims to reveal more about the arab culture, the focus was on the domestic aspect. You get to see many pictures of their houses, old and new, you'll be impressed by their architecture characteristics, their intention to preserve their heritage of building style. The new generation of arab houses are like those square houses you see in movies(but nicer of course) with a garage beside. O.o

There was a also an installation art piece, where you get to climb onto a small bridge which cannot support more than 12 people. They play clips of war, wreck, destruction and violence. You may feel a-bit heavy hearted after seeing that. But I don't know, the perception of art varies from person to person.

It has further enforced my idea of religion differences between people are quite scary, and often lead to destructive actions. And not sorting out the differences properly may result in very grave misunderstanding, which makes people do meaningless but wretched things. Therefore I have this principle of not having any religion. It is the best way to live, I think.

The whole thing should not take you more than 2 hours.

The last thing is, you need not pay to go in. But you may need some money for parking. :)
Until 21 May 2007, 10am-6pm daily. Remember, its the National Museum of Sinagpore, not art museum or anything else.

indigence \IN-dih-juhn(t)s\, noun:
