Outlook links to Level of Success

The way you make yourself look on the outside can determine your character. And the character can determine one's person's level of success.

Therefore
outlook = success level

more clearer definations

make yourself look = how you dress yourself, consistency, hairstyle change rate, hair colour preference, underwear colour (nono, just a joke -_-)

character = hardworking, lazy, unique, a loner, agreer, happy, emo.

level of success = job, exams, social circle level, income level.

To show how these these 3 factors link. Here's a example.
Eg: Tidy, hair usually messy, shirt crumpled = consistent......ly lazy = assignments usually late.

People usually link me with "muggers" (from feeling I guess) and therefore someone with "good grades".
So using the equation.

I "look" like a successful person = hardworking = good grades

Oh ya, forgot that another equation applies to Jiahe!!

The

Ultimate

"Inverse Jiahe Law".

Therefore results = (good grades)-1

Making the final General equation to.

Hardworking = (good grades)-1
- = Lousy grades

Great.
(now don't tell me that I can "try" being lazy..... it just gonna get worst thanks to that "grEat" Law.....)

After the run..... it's my nose's turn.

Idiot me la.... I should have known that my recently more "sensitive" sneezing nose is trying to tell me something.... but I went for the run and create enough "free radicals" to make me sick -_-"

Anyway, before I went to sleep that night, I gotten flu. It's a Tuesday night.

went to the doctor the following day, hoping to get some medicine to stop my "running" nose. Seriously, my nose's stamina is top notch. I have chased it for 22 years and I always end up giving up.

When I reached there, I realised it's the "common cold" season, saw many people I know there as well.

My hall Level 6 neighbour Jacob told me that consultation and some basic medicine are FREE, as there are already paid for......... by us -_-"

Then I went in to the doctor, saying some "cool" stuff and acting like a fit guy......

I am here to get some medicine to <STOP> my "running" nose. Don't need a MC.

Then he laugh and straight away ask me some standard questions and he's already happily writing the prescription.

He asked me if I want antibiotics.
(of course not lah! Antibiotics not consider standard. Heh heh... think I carrot head cannot use nose to think right....)

Before I leave, he said that if my mucus turns yellow or green, I should come back for the antibiotics.
(Everytime after a flu, it CONFIRM will turn thi yellow or green. I am a highly experience sick green turtle. Still want to "bluff" me -_-")

Then when I went out to take the medicine, the nurse gave me 3 packet of prescription. And I went to grab a packet of Vitamin C for $4.50. My friend Wei Yu keep advicing me to take Vitamin C tablet to increase immunity. And I also heard that it helps to recover from flu and cold faster.

Took out a $10 note.

And she said.

"It's $1x.xx dollars #$%^&*&^#......."

Before she finishes her sentence I already giving a @_@ face, anyway, I am already not listening as I my nose already ran off, so I really lack of oxygen to process any further shocks....

She say the packet (with like only 5-6 pills) is $4++ (somewhere around there la)
She emphasized that it's "non drousy". Take in morning.

And I still have "night versions" somemore.

Plus some Strepsils-like sweets, $5-6+++ (somewhere there also.....)

So plus my $4.50 Vitamin C tablets. It's $1x.xx #$%^&*&^#..........

I think for the first time in the Medical Centre.....
They met a "巴刹 uncle".

Is there any cheaper medicine or not!? Cos outside normal medicine also not as expensive. Plus..... flu medicine isn't NORMAL meh!!?

Told them I no need the sweets.....
And if the medicine is going to be that ex!!.... can I just buy the paracetamol at the corner (I just saw) with the Vitamin C?

The doctor happen to go into the pharmacy corner and the nurse even ask if they can "remove" the prescription one after another. (until it's like I am the doctor liao. Now think back also quite funny. LOL!!!)

Then after that, the doctor took out.....



a "10 for $1.50" version.

讨价还价 in a medical centre?? A Uncle somemore. haha!!

See Uncle Lim's power.
From $10++ can also become $1.50.
I respect myself after I got out of the medical centre sia -_-"

(I think it seriously stun me for a while that why I am able to give back a perfect stunning move)


Counting down 3 days to recovery... Left 1 more day to Friday night.

Anyway, Wei Loong decided to ask his father to use me to help take his "display shots" for his new cafe. WOW!!! The 2nd lobang of the year for using my camera :P
Then again, as I was not classified as a "professional" and he was a "old" friend. (Sia la! I know him for close to 50% of my lifetime on Earth liao!) I told him 意思意思 can already.

But it's feel so fun to get this kind of surprizes lah!
Ok, exams is really nearing, I think I am going to "visit" my parents for the last time next weekend and will start my "grand confinement" month already...... super sian.


With my willpower and turtle and mEe...ee...e :)

New Guidelines and Discoveries.

Today I came back hall at around 8.11pm. And saw my hall Route Relay Team preparing to go for a run. Initially, I thought I may have a test coming this Friday, and I predicted that I won't have time to finish it, so told the "Big Green" manager Da Qing that I will be preparing for test. So didn't expect to join. But came to realised it actually next Friday. Anyway, wushu's last training will be tomorrow Wed, so I thought it would be good to rest my legs for my "first and last" wushu training of Semester one. (师父。。。。。。弟子不孝 -_-")

Okay, I have really stretch my limits to cope with what ever things "in order". It just happened that I really didn't have spare time left for everything "important" that is "important" to me.

Anyway, I have set a few more new guidelines for Jiahe to follow. Hope he survives this sem's crisis.

1) The best way to avoid your computer "full of work" as much as possible is to....... face it.
Allocate 1 hr everyday, concentrate on clearing all the crap here and there, clear whatever emails that's present, and "good night!". Off it for GOOD.

2) Complete all online lectures as fast as possible. Plan your time ahead. Anyway, you can always stop the lecturer now when he ask "if we are okay with the pace or not."
(Of course we are not OKAY LAH!)

Ok, end off my post with a discovery of a old solution for my recently new 800m problem.

The key: Bamboo Leg Stance

With my ultra long bamboo, I can switch between normal and bamboo stance to get "ultra big steps" with the least possible minimum energy put in. All the best with using this new "conservation of energy" method.

Although didn't plan to run with the rest today, I decided to try out this Bamboo Leg Stance on the 2.565 km route. The rest train on the bus 199 route, which took me 28-29mins to clear from the first and last timing. But I met them at the half mark interval of their route, as my route is only about 1/2 (12 mins to clear) of the theirs. The crazy thing is that..... I only started 5 mins later than them @_@"

(correction: I ask Eric, who ran the route relay as well. He said their timing was like only 17:25 min. I think I may have forgotten to reset the previous timing before I started running, as I couldn't see well with the poorly lit street lamps -_-". On calculation, if I am running at that speed, my 2.4km timing will be 18min. (which is human's walking speed bah -_-")



My conclusion is that Hall runners 全部都是吃药的。。。all sia!!
(addon: I still think they are even after I found out my timing error, they still "fly" faster than me after I took a super big shortcut!!)
Anyway, I tried my "Bamboo Legs Stance" at 100%, and I realised although my bamboo legs "sour level" was at 95%" after the run, my overall tireness was only about 70-80%. And I was on a 100% full stomach as well. Timing was 12.:28 min. (Compared to my normal run at 95% tireness, at 12:00 min).

In conclusion: Bamboo Leg Stance rocks. Highly energy efficient.

Okay, at this point of time, if you do not understand a thing, it's okay :P
It's all in "Jiahe language", so I guess the only person who will appreciate and benefit most when reading back this post is Jiahe only :P

But if you do understand a bit, hope you can benefit from it as well. Can always teach you this if you really interested in this whatever weird 邪门歪道 skill that I have invented. HAha!!

Okay, that's all.

Random shouts: "Working in the 21st Century" Module rocks!!!
(I always enjoyed the lesson by this prof :P)

Learn well if you manage to get it in NTU :))

Primary School Outing!!

18/10/08 Sat 6pm, at Clarke Quay TCC.

We book a table for 12. And we went in there.




Only to be "welcome" into the 12 person "reserved" seats.....



Great. With Fresh Air.

Before I come down, I happened to see the other Primary School Class 6B Class Outing photo in July on Facebook. Then I told Charlene.
"We must take more nicer pictures then them :P"

Haha! But too bad, we didn't have too many who turn up, and time flys whenever people enjoys themselves.

Then I went on for a "reckee" (some exploration mission). Went back to the place where I had my Army Specialist Outing, Coffee Club. No reservations, 3 tables combined, a place for us in the "cooling" compartment, and also for our cake :P

The Yummy, but super small and unhealthy food.




My "Pili Pili Chicken".



Seriously small -_-"
I think the chinese name is "霹雳霹雳“鸡 (pi li = powerful)
(Ultimate powerful chicken)

Anyway, I don't understand how come most of our dish comes with lots of grass on top....







Some more pictures.

Chiew Hui and Miao Jing.



Chiew Hui is already married. And Miao Jing is already engaged.
@_@. cool right!
And I heard that Siew Hui already has kids.

My primary school classmates are sure following the government policy well :)


The 2 birthday girls.



Siew Noi and Hwee Min.

One of my desk parther in class :P



Xin Wen.

The ever "age 12" boys.



Xinwen, Sebastian, Charlton, Nathan, Hanxing, Jiahe (me)
Xinwen now working in DHL as a report writer.
Sebastian now planning to be his own boss for a music base work.
Charlton is a Commando Officer whos now in SIM.
Nathan is a Navy Sailing Regular.
Hanxing is in Computer Engineering in NUS.
Jiahe is..... nvm, I know.

And I think I look age 8.....

Class Girls photo.



Top - Chiew Hui, Hwee Ming
Bottom - Charlene, Siew Noi

Chiew Hui happily married to Bernard, from their secondary sch, and they all went into the same Peirce Secondary school. I was one of the few who went to a sec school "alone". Sianz, usually the case. It's my life I guess.
Hwee Min, events planner, now going to be some Airport VIP Ushers (really powerful)
And she have been working for a few years already. She totally sound like a "working adult".
What housepour, what "chill at a pub". Guess I still sounded like a kid if I say let's go take a photo in front of the water display" before we change our location from TCC to The Coffee Club, due to the "natural air-condition" issue.




Some who went were not in the picture, Miao Jing (Celia) and Li Boon (Rane) haven't reach yet.

Before we left, here comes the bill.
The Bill which "shocked" our organiser Charlene. $200+



And I realised the 10% service charge and 7% GST is packs quite some power......
My already expensive $14.50 "Pili Pala" crap became $18 after that. ^_-"

Class Photo after 10 years.



It was really fun being able to see friends after 10 long years. Seriously long. My longest known friends on Earth. HAha!!! I have known them for about 1/2 my lifetime already :P

Ok, hope the next outing in Dec will have more people appearing.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Anyway, the Jiahe Inverse Theory came into play again.
Ok, this sounds like some "smart" thing from me but no, it's actually a curse and this theory OnLY applies to Jiahe.....

Cut the crap short...
My "smart" phone, deleted all my contacts and appointments when I deleted one of my profile.
Okay, nevermind, I may not be smart enough, so may be my fault.

Lucky I did "synchronized" with "Active Sync" with my laptop.
Unless I so suay, didn't configure properly, then it won't have my backup.
There's at least 600-800 contacts (don't ask me how it came to this number), and my Highly Packed schedules in "Appointments". Seriously take off lots of memory space from Jiahe's brain.

Then I went back to hall, plug in.
"Sync in progress".

"Done"

Then my laptop is "sync" to my "smart" phone.

Great -_-"

So next time if you msg me, pls let me know who are you for the "first" time.......
(shitty life, I don't know what I done wrong in my previous life........ totally turn some part of my life upside down even if I have done all I could.... the impossible always happens -_-")

Another note to self: Never, ever, trust any "original" programmes from Windows, handphones, whatever. There's better free softwares out there that's more "user-friendly".
"Consumer created" programmes are always better and smarter.

CAC Members PyJaMaS Night!

The Title explains it all :)



I was "invited" directly to be the photographer of the event. A sms received directly from the Welfare and Social Secretary.

All sounds so "nice" from the highly sociable person right.

I am not the only photographer around, there's 8 of them in the committee. The next time someone didn't let my boss "split up" the work, I am going to report to "boss" for some welfare :P
I was assured of ONLY 4 main official events throughout the year, but I already helped 1 official from boss, 1 "on demand" 10 min reach event and now 1 more, not from boss -_-"

At this rate, I am like doing the speed of 3 photographers sia. It's so wrong!


I have made a rule for myself a few months back, that is "not to take up any photography event" at the expense of Jiahe's welfare. According to Jiahe's set of "healthy regulations", Jiahe is still quite far off from the "healthy range".

Anyway, because since I am already going for the event, and that she made the effort to find my contact and asked me personally, I agreed to help her. She happy, the event quite fun, so I also quite happy this time. So okay :)

Okay, continue the PArty :)
And this is what the PArtY's about :P



Pyjamas boys and girls :)

And I saw Jia He from my Secondary school! My Junior!!



Lim Jiahe with Lim Jia He!!

This was the ticket.




And this is the food.



Which I happen to take a picture and drool on it later.... -_-"

Didn't manage to take a photo with my CAC FOC committee, but still able to take a photo with my Wushu friends. (and I haven't been to a training this sem yet... so sad)



Anyway, I noticed that photographers are "taken care" of more often nowaday... Heard this quite often.
"Hey you always not in picture... come I help you take!!"

And because if that, I had quite a number of photos with me inside :)

And presenting the picture that I like best......

My picture taken with my favourite female.......




DUCK!!
I have realised that out of so many pictures that I have taken, with those who wants to take with her, She just stands on both feet. Haha!! Photographer got special "pose" for me :P

Anyway, she's really dedicated, and done quite a lot of work waddling and running around for all the programmes involving her. Felt that she's a bit unappreciated though.... at the end of the night, DUCKie just sat there......



Looking all emo.




If she's someone I know, I would sure go up and entertain her, and if DUCKie was a guy, I would have give it a BIG HUG and Thank YoU! But then, I dun know her, and I dun hug FEMALE DUCkies.....

How I wish I could do something for duckie . hai..... She only took it off till the end with only a friends left. No one knows who is DUCKie at all.

Anyway, I ended the day cycling back in pyjamas. Already feel quite numb from all the stares from the initial trip here :P

Anyway, I saw my friend from SR, Alvin. His eyes was like @_@, and asked if I got a forfeit or something :P haha!! Yar, mine was a bit special.

I was with my "臭臭" (small pillow :P)

Brought it there to used as a "bag" to contain my 1 big camera, 1 small camera, my camera flash and my handphone. Sling it around, and as it was budging, it was obvious I guess :P

------------------------------------------------------------------

On a side note, I decided to write something to myself again.

I on the computer in my pyjamas suite. And I was stuck here doing everything beside school work..... totally "SiaNz".

Knew that this would happen. It's always happen. but this time, I choose to try my luck to "save some time".

"While it uploads, I can have my bath".

To Jiahe for the last time.....
"That Line is Totally Impossible. Avoid your Computer at All Cost"

3 simple Points to a Good Friendship

Saw this somewhere, decided to take a photo and just post it here, then I don't have to type out :P

haha, it's in Chinese.
I think Fuda will enjoy reading it. LOL!!



Anyway, I think there's something wrong with some of the chinese words. But should be able to understand the meaning.


Okay, gonna "Iron" my pyjamas before the online lectures for this E-learning week.....



Huh! What the.... pyjamas need to iron one meh?

haha, sleep also must sleep with "Dignity". Can't "walk around in my dreams" and "take photographs" in super crumpled clothings leh.....

Wah.... really need to do that mah?
Is Jiahe really too stress!!?

"Logical" reasons stating tonight :P

Monday, October 13, 2008

Home sweet Home.

For the weekends, practically I stayed at home to study and tried to finish my work, leaving my 2 "cars" to rest. Have overused it and can't really move around -_-"

That day's track and field trial was a simple one. A total of 8 guys, splitted into 2 groups of 4.
Initially, thought that that's all the people running for my hall. Then sure get in one mah!!
But I am wrong......
The 2nd email from my full of smiley "Track and Field Manager:))" came with hall people who didn't appear for the trial!!

And I scroll down the list......

Back to that day's trial, the 8 guys only went for 100m and 400m timing. When the Manager asked if anyone wants the 800m? All face was ":P"

Okay.... :P now means panting like siao with a tongue sticking out. Haha!!
Ok, so no one for the 800s.

As I scroll, I see more unfamiliar names and those name's who didn't go for the trial on the list of 100m and 400m, Okay.... guess we are really too slow to make it compared to "last year's participant's timing...... And I have past 400m, no name. Hai.... should have run a bit faster "for glory!!!" right.

Then I wanted to see in the end who kana the 800m. As someone must still run for it.
Respect.






Then I saw "Jiahe".

@_@"
I didn't top the trials and didn't even run for 800m !!?
And it's obvious "Aung" didn't sign up for 800m also.... although he can really run.

I think Ms :)) thought that maybe with my daily act cooL bicycle trips, I should have some more "hidden" powers. That's is SOoo... not true -_-" Ya lah, my power may be "above average", but it's not this "up there" lah!! Anyway, no one would volunteer to run for this hell event, so also maybe it's due to the lack of people and her hope of me having "hidden" powers, she left my name there in the last *holy* slot........

Oh well.... it's just great -_-"
How am I suppose to "win" this.

Okay, maybe I should look into my pea brain and see if I have a plan to train this....

Ans: No idea -_-". Can't fit into daily plans.
2nd response from pea brain: Good luck :)

Wah sian.... really going to run for hall and lose till 脱裤跑 ah.......

Anyway, the one before me is..... my sister.
A dragonboater.

oh crap.... hope she doesn't flies faster than me -_-"
And what the turtle again..... 800m.......

run turtle..... come on.... run with a smile......
heh heh heh...... haha..... Hmm.... heeheehee.....

whatever :)


And I just learnt that :)) means a BIG SMILE :) Haha, so interesting!

@ @
\___/ heh!! Mine's bigger :))

Some ultra quick updates...

Went for a anxiety disorder talk, then the exhibition. Learn quite a lot of things. Here's one of the exhibits.




Realised that I am in the "highly" stressed catagory and it's rather dangerous. But lucky I have "Jiahe" as a safety net so I am safe and sound :)
Researches shows 1 in 5 Singaporeans are highly stress, 3 in 5 Law and Medical students in NUS are highly stressed.....

And 4 out of 5 of the highly stressed "have no one to talk to" when met with a problem.
(I am in this zone -_-")

But luckily, I have a "Jiahe" which most of the times, able to "fill" some space and should be close to impossible to a "no one to turn to" state. Anyway, I shall continue :)

Wednesday night, rushed to SRC after my elective which got extended 30 min to 8pm.
For my hall Track and Field's trial.



Only the boys appeared. the 8 of us. Didn't know that they all waited for me to start. Felt quite bad for them to wait for me for 16 mins. Thought they can start and will start the runs without me.

Anyway, I knew that I had to use my legs for the next day's transportation (cycling), at least enough to go "up the hills". Tried to cut down my power by not exerting, but in the end.....
Good De MorninG Jiahe!! My 小老鼠s (small muscles) still went on strike afterall......

The morning looks great when I had to spend 2 times longer the time going down the stairs.



I already knew it's gone case for me -_-" My first lecture starts in 10 mins time, which the usual 两只老鼠 will 跑得快 enough to make it. (or is it 三只老虎? haha!)

But I was LUCKY enough to see my friendly neighbour Eric in his car... haha! Opened his car door, and "buay paisehly" sat in. He understands I would rather cycle......
(not shy)


At night, Yong Xi asked for help. He needs a photographer at Hall 8 for the CAC Chingay 1st Training.... since he asked, I won't say I am in a extra remedial tutorial and not free to help.
Anyway, I already catch no ball liao -_-"



But luckily, I haven't got time for dinner yet. Ther's actually a buffet set up for everyone for this first training!! And I was "paid back" with a full load of rice, cheese fish, lemon chicken and some vegetables, for taking such shots......




Wow, they have such cool dance moves to learn!

He asked me if I can be the photograher for this event every week for just 15 mins.... No I can't, after I happily say "Okay, no problem". I need time for myself, so I told him to look for someone else in the "actual" committee. In this era, who's doesn't knows to to take a photo!? Some people's 自拍 skill beat me flat lah!!

Anyway, I walked all the way from North Spine back to hall for 2 times today with my "cui-ed" legs. Went back hall, still have 1 last assignment to do for my Hall Publicity.....
And this is what I made.....

The first ever Poster in my Life.....



It sure have my style doesn't it :P

Okay, to end off, now it's already 3.35am in the morning....

At our current age there's still, and always people forwarding this kind of email......

"You know that every night before you go to sleep there is one person of the opposite sex thinking of you. They want to kiss you, they want to be with you, they are always thinking about you,this is all
true and not fake.

If you repost this in 5 minutes the person that is longing to be with you will approach you within 1 month and ask you out or grab you and kiss you. But if you break this chain no one will like you or ask you out again for 5 years........"

Forwarding this kind of emails to all you friends comes with 2 more problems.
1) Your friends who are "smart" enough to think that a "curse" can't be that high tech to get "encoded", WILL LAUGH AT YOU.
2) If someone else, who thinks that if "Sadako" is high tech enough to use the TV to go your house's bathroom just to comb her hair and this is email is no doubt possible, receives this, she (or HE!?) may just die of heart attack as she/he was too flustered to type out or even remember any friend's email.

So you see, both of this problem is more serious than whatever lame "curse" or "blessings" right!
And yet I keep on receiving these......


What the hell......

No wonder now I don't even have a proper friend lah!!!

CAC FOC Meeting 2

This 3 days is seriously going to be super busy. Have got a 4000 words report due tomorrow, Tuesday full day lessons from 9.30-7.30pm.... Wed Math quiz which I have only completed less than 1/2 of it during the weekends.

Anyway, today went for my CAC FOC meeting. They had a birthday celebration and I "happened" to have got my camera with me again. It's rare that I have it nowadays. Anyway, I think I will start making my camera a SOP item again (Standby Operating Procedures item). It seems that a camera is the only weapon that I can fight the tutorial's tutor who's speciality is "flasHiNg the transparency" as though our stun face is as transparent to him.
Yes, I take pictures in class. haha!!

Okay, some pictures of the birthday boys of October and November.




Jia Hui the 出"Jia"人



Everyone don't want to miss the "touch the round head session".

And the paparazzi shot of the day.



The happy gay couple same dress code and design shot.

Now FOC have a forum set up, and a blog as well. They say that they are going to assign people on different time of the seasons to write on it during events and all.
Like a journey recorder.

haha! the idea is goOD!

At least someone who came up with the idea also believes that life is not just the goal that we are heading towards, but also made up by the footprints that we once left......

:)

My Toilet Mate

Staying in hall for the weekends, hoping to clear my revision for next week's quiz, 1 creative design report and 1 more 4000 words Working in the 21st Century report (I need to settle 1/2 of it in pairs)

Went to the toilet a few times, then this cute toilet mate is always there.



It's really very small, and it's always there the whole day. Maybe because it's weekend and "he" decided to keep all the sad souls company.


To see how small is he, I took a buddy shot with him before I said good night.



(Siao... take photo with moth -_-")

Okay.... I am really very bored all the way up at the highest level of my hall.

Anyway, the first shot of my new found buddy was taken with my new camera, LX3. But I thought that the photo wasn't clear enough as a Neoprint if I ever want to put a picture of him in my wallet. I think he wants a better photo of himself.....

So he waited for me while I went back to my room to take the FZ18 to take a more proper shot.




Wow, what a difference. Okay, going to hug my best bed buddy to sleep liao.

"Dear Bolster Bro you must have missed me for the pass 18 hours......."

(wow, Jiahe sure have lots of friends and buddies staying back in hall :) Envy right.....)

The lousy "slept little" night and the Lousy Project

After the talk, I went on to Hall 1 for my Creative Design project meeting.
It's was quite a demoralizing discussion again.... as I have predicted.
They didn't really understand what I was saying, even for the first few explanation. And it seems like they are not even interested in what I have to explain.... haiz....

And the words that make the "sleepy", therefore "less torlerant" me almost explode keeps coming again and again.

*after explanation of my "full of effort work"......


"I think this cannot work."

"why?"

"Dunno, but I think this just cannot work."

"But why do you think it cannot work, can you at least explain a bit?"

"I think we have to do a prototype first, and we see how from there, you don't emphasize too much on theory first, theory is usually wrong, we should roughly cut first, then we see from there......"

I spend lots of efforts in drawing out the "exact" dimensions, so that they can "visualise" my plan. But they didn't even spend any effort to try to understand my work.

And a rough cut can be better than a "planned out" drawing!!??

Then I almost said this after this happened for like a few times.

"So does a Engineer have to test build a HDB flat first before he build a actual one?"

"Of course theory is important!! At least we can build a prototype with lesser chances of failure, Isn't it!!?
"

The keyword is "almost". But I didn't. I went "screensaver mode" to cool down... serious lack of sleep is dangerous to the EQ indeed.

Anyway, the basic structure went my "planned" way. But for the final ending portion, they didn't agree based on the fact that it "will not go well". With one of the point as "the ball may not turn out as what you have said and roll down.... it may just fly left or right...." No one points out that this logic is "wrong" (or my logic is totally off..........)

SINCE WHEN A BALL ROLLING DOWN A NON TILTED SLIDE DUE TO GRAVITY WILL FLY LEFT OR RIGHT OFF THE SIDE OF THE OPENED SIDES!!!??

And even better, after saying that "the ball may just fly out left or right", this line is added on.

"Dunno lah! but I just feel that this will not go well"

I explained using theory, they don't accept. Although I don't like Newton and his apple, but I still have faith that his stupid apple discovery is smart enough to answer this kind of thing bah -_-"

Okay, whatever, I should not be losing it for such things. Maybe the way I present is still not clear enough despite my full power, or I should also analyse the way I talk. (I have always wished that I can just stand out and observe "myself", afterall, the least seen person in everyone's life is themselves......)

Anyway, this is the first prototype that was build out.
1 man show.... because this first meeting they say we should build out and try first... as the computer drawing may not be accurate.





(but I said at least it must look "logical" before we construct it right? So I repeated ask them to see if the diagram looks flaw or not. Then one of them said that "I should do a prototype for them to see first......"

Okay, I think they are all "3D visual learners". Real 3D ones.
And this is bad.... theory just don't seem right to them.

And this is OUR 2nd prototype, after this have been said.

"I don't really care about the design or creativity, I just want to make it work"



Told them before that my focus was "workability" and "creativity", as design and creativity have marks. I told them that if my explanation is not clear, I can always say it again and even slower. But the reply was always the same "irritating" one.

And the last line was like said that way..... so it's means that my idea will not work.

And the best part is..... there's can't come up with a reason, why mine WILL NOT work.

Anyway, the prototype also now known as our "actual" is done. And this is the first testing.




Ok, it flipped over and fell.

After some tries, it just can't just end back up straight, standing.
After that, I tried to stick all sort of weight here and there, to balance out the force using my logic. At some times, they just look at me with those kind of.... eye like I am providing some really lame "entertainment"




But at the end of the day, I am still glad. At least I proved to myself when I said that "I can make it stand". Most of them went off already due to the last bus timing.

Okay, enough of grumbling.
It's not anyone's fault actually...
It's just a mistake from the start to be in the wrong group.
For a project to go smoothly, it's important for the whole team to be able to understand and agree with the same goal. But it happened to be that I was the odd one out.

It would have been good if they just had 3 of them as total "visual learners". They will actually do things faster and better without me.

If I can find people with the same way of thinking as me, I would also not have to explain much, and ideas added on will complement with one another. Basically I am the "planner" type.

That's why from today onwards, I am going to make sure that I am in a correct "type" of group if we are given free grouping next time. It will be good to "ask" the rest to find out their working style politely if I can't tell from talking to them.
It will really saves the later trouble. Okay, this post will just be here to remind me that I should pay enough effort to future groupings, afterall, it's a good initial learning experience.....

Ok, no smileys to end of this post. (It will seems totally off)

But I am glad that I discover this point now ya.

WhatevA!!! =D

Love Talk!

Today, lessons was super short.... after 1 lecture is canceled due to lecturer's personal matters, I am only left with 1 circults tutorial.

Anyway, at 12.30-1.45 pm, I attended this interesting talk :P



By this Prof Yeh from university of HaWaIii.. unique place produces unique profs....
I tell you, I think he is like 70-80 years old, wear a pair of big old specs, but his jokes are 21st century blockbusters!!

At the entrance of the Lecture Theatre...



Guessed this should be done by that funny Prof...... :P

Haha!! His talk is way cooler than any profs in NTU. And the prof in charge of Socialogical Club was like telling us...

"don't expect every prof in NTU to be like that."

Okay, it's a short but pack full of interesting stuff to find out!! Okay, maybe just to share something interesting that most people know, but no one really knows if it exist facts!!


In Socialogy terms:
6. A typology of love or lovers:
Eros, Mania, Ludus, Agape, Storge, Pragma

Basically people who fall in love can be classified into these 6 types.
Eros: Love because of sexual intimacy.

Mania: Extreme way of love till it's dangerous (extreme jealousy)

*with his delibrate long tone.
to the point of HalluCinAtion....... (*roll on Floor laughing @#$%^)

Ludus: Love is like a game (contest of giving the least love)

Agape: Selfless Love

Storge: "Grow up together" Love

Pragma: "Pragmatic" Love (typical Singaporean style, since we have to fall in love anyway, so might as well find out everything about our potential parther first before falling in love. After that prof said this, the whole lecture theatre *pengz)

But he also points out that individual can have characteristics of more than 1 type, so it's not really confine to a certain type.

Basically, the first 3 are the dangerous ones. The last 3 are the good ones.

The last 3 goes very well with the type of their own.

Then the prof goes on to talk about the "great war zone". haha!!!

Ludus with Ludus: He calls it the Battle Royal.
Eros with Eros: Won't last long.
Mania with Mania: MAdNeSS....
Eros with Storge: Eros will think Storges are "dead fishes".
Ludus with Agape: Ludus will take everything that a Agape gives.........

This actually is similar to friendship. I actually got the concept right without being a socialogy student!! haha!

I will look for my next Jiahe :P


At the end of the lecture, he had printed out this "Love test" for us to take.

too bad, it ran out!
But..... I got my camera with me :P



Anyway, they said that if there's any further interesting talks, they will actually post it here!!
So we can check back for updates :P
Anyway, I signed up for this free membership and I will receive emails updates if there's any other exciting talks!

I think like psychology and socialogy stuff more than engineering.... oh great to realised it after like 1 year in NTU -_-"

NTU is always full of it.
Now there's another one coming up! And same first time I've been to, it's highly discounted by SDU. It's only $2 and light refreshments are provide. But you can always go heavy on it... from what I see the first time I've been there :P

Key to a Smarter and Happier Love Life

10/9, next Friday 6.30-9.30pm at Toa Payoh HDB Hub.
I am going to learn more about Humans!! See you there if you are going :P (but so far I've never seen any friends for any other interesting talks. haha~)

Humans are indeed facinating :)
