CSL MAF

Went for it last night. Before that, it was GAW gift-wrapping, but before that, GAW comm had a meeting, so I accompanied dr to have breakfast. When we returned, they were still having their meeting, so the both of us *cough! cough!* in the cubicle waiting for them...

Gift-wrapping was with VM: Janicia and pui. Crapped like dunno what. I dinch do a good job, cos I was like: clueless at wrapping stuff with irregular shapes.

Set off for CSL with pui and company.

CSL changed a teeny-weeny bit. For one, the security post is concrete le, but in exchange, we had no place convenient for us to sign in.

Raymond still remember me. wow... Actually, my memory of him is a huge boy le (having hang out with cb too much, I imagined Raymond to be of that size). Turned out that he was a skinny, small boy that I almost couldn't recognize him. He 'grew' up in my mind too much le.

The situation was... ermz... chaotic. I was put into a group where ALL THE HYPERACTIVE KIDS were in. I dunch know whether it's good to put ALL hyper kids into a group, cos if we had enough volunteers (1:1), then they SHOULD be manageable. But it was chaotic yesterday. Somehow, I find the reason why I grew fat over the past 2 months...

Justin also remembered me. So did Louis and some of the girls (sorry, somehow I think they are fascinated with me... *giggle* even pui thought so too... haha...). Raymond complained to me that his new kor kor was very bad in chinese. ok... He dinch say that. He said my I teach chinese better than the new kor kor. So he wanted me back to tutor him again.

Well...

I gave him a bar of sweets before I left.

Dinch go for supper with them, cos Chomp Chomp isn't a place convenient for me to go back home. And well, I wanted to reach home fast. But still, I waited 15 min for a bus that is comfortable enough to fit me into it...

PsychoHunt 230906

It was a moonless night...

The protectors of Moonless City, the NUS Rovers, have called for an urgent meeting regarding the pressing issue of a Psychotic Killer on the loose in the city streets. The meeting of the heroes of Lion Lands was named: PsychoHunt.

8 Slayers, from 8 different lands, met up at ECP at the eastern part of the Moonless City, the site of the meeting. They split into 2 groups, Ma’at 1 and Ma’at 2, but later decided that it will be wiser to combine their forces in case of a showdown with the Psycho. So they adopted the route of Ma’at 1 (which goes east instead of west as opposed to Ma’at 2) and called themselves:

Ma’at 12.

PsychoHunt: ECP Meeting of Ma’at 12

They believed that they can lure the Psycho into action with a bait: someone who looked like he needed ‘care’ from the Psycho. Amazingly, there was one Ma’at who had a superb track record of wielding his Super Horny Look:

DR Wu.

PsychoHunt: DR Wu & his horny looks

Ma’at 12’s 1st stop was to find the Red House of East Coast, where it was rumored that Psycho feeded on the red and juicy soups of Katong Laksa. Unfortunately, the Pyscho had just had his feeding and left behind the dried carcasses of see hum. Undaunted, the Slayers proceeded to find him at the next stop: Lion City Hotel.

It was at the Lion City Hotel where they received power-ups by the uncle who was closing his Paparoti stall for the night. There, they were told that the Psycho had lived there for the past night, but was away for the whole of the day. In return, the Lion of the hotel demanded the Slayers to make him happy by taking pictures with him. In addition, one of the Slayers have to sacrifice his kiss… So Ma’at 12 voted their Social Butterfly for the job…

PsychoHunt: Lion City Hotel

The Slayers were not put off by the series of failures. They hunted down the trail of the Psycho, right to Siglap Centre. It was said that Psycho also favoured the lunch buffet for 2 adults and 2 children nearby. They believed he was more interested in the 2 adults and 2 children rather than the buffet.

Oh, was it mentioned that the Slayers were on bicycles for the hunt? They were so tired by the time they reached the Siglap Centre that they went into the Mac’s there to take a MINI rest…

PsychoHunt: Siglap Centre

They sent out their no.1 Psycho Seducer DR Wu to recce the place of buffet lunch, which unfortunately was closed due to the fear for Psycho Killer. STILL undaunted, the Slayers advanced towards another place of his favourite feeding: Bedok Food Centre, which promised never to close at night.

On the way however, the Slayers were stopped by a humongous dog who told them that he saw the Psycho Killer heading towards the shady path leading towards Bedok Reservoir, so without further ado, they went down on the hunting track of PK.

It was an arduous task, with the Slayers bashing through tree-overhanging tracks and crossing the great River of Cars. The Slayers didn’t know whether to rejoice over the fact that the route they were taking now were free from cars zooming past them from behind or bemoan on the shady track they were now on.

Finally, after crossing under an underground passage and across a River of Emptiness, Ma’at 12 reached the Bedok Reservoir Park.

PsychoHunt: Bedok Reservoir

But where is PK? He was still not to be seen!! The Slayers went onto the swings and tried to see if they could see over the top of the trees by swinging as high as they could get. Alas! The trees were taller than the swing, so no matter how hard they tried, they could not see over the top of the trees…

Just as they felt like giving up, the Slayers saw a TAP. And on the tap was the remains of dried up see hum from their 1st stop. They believed PK must have gone into the tap and took the path of the underground pipes. Upon checking with their Formidable Directory of Streets, the Slayers concluded PK must be in a Mac in Tampines.

They reached the place in double quick time, but saw no one suspicious except for a red-haired, fair-face man sitting outside the Mac. The Slayers suspected he could be PK and tried to induce him to move and give himself away… They tried sitting on him, doing disgusting acts with him and making him do disgusting acts to them, but to no avail…

PsychoHunt: some mac in tamp...

The Slayers, after several futile attempts, decided to catch a drink (huh?) inside Mac’s. After which, they dropped by where some spies for the PsychoHunters stationed. The Spies made the Slayers play some silly game in order to get the info they needed, and the game is…

PsychoHunt: Game

The Slayers weren’t really clear how the hints given to them were useful, but they were told that they had their powers leveled up by playing the ‘difficult’ game. Oh but well… They quickly rushed off to the next station, which was, well, Tampines MRT station, the place in the rumour that PK was trying to make an escape on the rails.

PsychoHunt: Tampines MRT

Ma’at 12 didn’t know whether to rejoice anot, because the station was actually closed. That meant two things: PK could not make a rail escape but PK would not have come, so they were fooled!! The Slayers proceeded to a nearby optical shop to realize that one of the stuff was stolen. They had the hunch that the culprit was PK and he had taken up a disguise to throw the Slayers off his trail!

Reprimanding themselves for missing another chance yet again, they went on to the next possible stop, Elias Mall at Pasir Ris. It was but another let down, because PK was not there! Fortunately for them, there was a power-up inn called 7-11 where they replenished the salts and water lost. And for Jenny, she had her carbo-load with her chocolates.

PsychoHunt: Elias Mall 7-11

Eventually, they started off on the last leg of their hunt: Changi Village, the hometown of PK. Little did they know that PK knows magic! He cast a Rain Spell while the Slayers were beat from the hunt. When they stopped at the bus stop outside Downtown East, he let the rain stopped. When they started again, he played with them by casting a Torrential Downpour! The Slayers took shelter 3 bus stops down and decided to cast a Resistance Spell together to combat PK.

PsychoHunt: Pasir Ris

And they succeeded.

Just as they set off after a 10 min rest, they encountered the worst slope they had ever met throughout the whole hunt. Just one left turn at the junction after the bus stop and voila! Super Slope that seemed to never end!!!

Ma’at 12 encouraged each other and after passing by Selarang Camp (where some fond, distant memories afloat), they finally reached the final destination (no, not nails impaling head or body sliced into 3 by wires), Changi Village.

Amazingly, the place was not as happening as they heard it was. In fact, most of the shops that were reputed for their Nasi Lemak were closed. So the Slayers made do with an early-morning breakfast at one of the stalls. How lucky they were! For after they made their purchase, the stall owners proclaimed the stall closed and chased the rest of the customers in the queue away!

PsychoHunt: Changi Village

Over a couple of teas and nasi lemak, the Slayers chatted about their recent (and distant) lives and bitched about their (impending) advanced placement to Hell for skipping lectures.

Since they were in PK’s hometown, the Slayers decided to do something the villagers there do in the hope of luring PK…

PsychoHunt: xtra...

Just as they attempted the unglam, unsuccessful act, they received a Telepath from the Rovers that PK was captured and all Hunters were to report back to ECP. With this info, the Slayers hopped onto their bikes and took the road down Changi Beach, taking the coastal road back to ECP.

Down Changi Beach, after the SAF Ferry Terminal (yet more distant memories afloat), the Slayers split into 2: one taking the main road, while the other taking the quaint, park trail by the beach. It was a tree-lined trail, with the morning mist hanging low at the branches, reminiscent of the time Slayer Zee had back in the Middle Earth.

The park trail ended at Changi Ferry Terminal, where the guys stopped to take a picture, because they believed that it was most probable they would not go back to the place again. ok, it was Slayer Zee who took the pictures and slowed the group down. With that, the Slayers took to the road (main road) and stopped before the next bend for a photo in the middle of the road. After all, this is all about the process.

They used their bikes to make a road block, but unfortunately, before the camera was set up, a car came and they had to dismantle their road block. Still, they set it up again and took a good photo to remind them of the night where they blocked a whole bloody road.

PsychoHunt: Changi

After the bend, it was the road parallel to the runway of Changi Airport. It was such a long straight road that it seemed to lead to infinity. From cycling with the lights of the airport to the darkness of the hangars, on the right, the road just extended indefinitely. They stopped a few times on the road to take a rest, the only road they took that made them take a few rests.

Finally, the Endless Road Spell broke and the Slayers went past Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, into the park outside NSRCC, which led all the way into ECP. There, the group split into 3, the advance party of tC, ed and cb and the middle party of DR Wu, Slayer Zee and Glenn and finally, Shit and J1.

Slayer Zee and DR Wu chit chatted throughout the whole journey to help each other forget the pain on their butts while Glenn lingered solemnly behind. It was yet another hour of endless cycling, with the dark sea on the left and many unidentified buildings looming up from the right.

FINALLY, and yes, finally, Ma’at 12 reached the Destination Point of ECP and returned their equipment to the Rovers, after which they went to Mac at ECP (just how many Mac’s are there in Moonless City? There seemed to be a Mac every 2 stops!) to rest. cb pigged himself, as usual, while tC slept and the others whiled their time away. Eventually, they decided it was time to end their Night of Adventure with a parting photo shot:

PsychoHunt: Last shot

The last journey of the adventure ended with a stroll to the main road and the Slayers taking different buses and resting in the airconditioned carriages towards their various homes.

Supper At Tiong Bahru Market

The zps gang had an eat-out last fri, but sadly, the attendance is still not 100%. Still, on MAF itself, we'll have another supper outing and expected attendance is 100%.

We arranged to meet at BM mac and the 3 guys me, kf and fred reached 1st. After some delibration, we decided to go instead to Tiong Bahru Market to have our supper, where xy was supposed to go there straight.

kf n me

We settled at one seat, decided to change to a more airy seat and then proceeded to order our food. We had popiah, chicken wings, rojak, chwee kway and prawn and char siew chee cheong fun.

wow at food

xy n fret fred

leftover

Just pigged ourselves, especially xy, who had a dinner just an hour before.

After that, we shifted to another table nearer to a desserts stall which looked like it was popular with some sort of queue. Had cheng teng, burbur chacha, iced longan and chendol. Nice...

Chit chatted and chit chatted...

After dessert, we walked back to our homes together. A nice walk crapping and working off our late-night calories.

Ma'at Chalet Report From Chalet PD

Sorry for the late report, but most Ma'ats only received the photos taken 2 mths after the chalet and the pix are not complete some more. But well... It's better than nothing.

Ma'at Chalet took place at NSRCC near Tanah Merah Jetty from 3 - 6 July 2006. We experienced a total of 100% attendance from Ma'at over the length of the 4 days, meaning on some days, it's not 100%, k?

House no 17

Day One

The day started with 5 guys meeting early at Tanah Merah to check in: glenn, chio bu, tC, gilbert and me. Basically we waited to step into the chalet (while glenn-mama checked in), step into the chalet and rotted. Glenn-mama was kind enough to buy for us some tidbit and lunch, while the remaining guys stayed and watched crappy movies on cable and ordered Mac's.

The remaining people came and we continued to rot. Sorry, it happened so long ago I couldn't really recall what we did. It seemed that we hang around the mahjong table, tv and that was all. haha...

The highlight of Day One was the Nightwalk, meant to scare glenn who reputably made LF walk in front of him during E3's Nightwalk. We walked to the driving range, which was, well, a civilized outfield. Then, words started to whisper among the Ma'ats, save glenn.

Guess what? We intended to dunk glenn! So, we led him back to the swimming pool and then did a sneak attack on him!!! So the night of dunking started.

glenn down 1st... 2J couldn't control their laughter

It went to say that silly zenov wasn't very bright. While the other ~~humchee~~ guys ran for cover, he lingered near glenn to be his 1st target of revenge. oh well... well... well... After zenov became wet, the both of them targeted the oldest being in Ma'at, cos well, the older a guy, the slower he can run.

Then we proceeded on to other people. Some people had special treatment. Like zin who thought she was safe sitting on a chair. So we conveniently lifted her, chair and person and dunked her into the pool. Derui was the most hum chee of all. He ran all over the resort and I dunno why. hai... Maybe his big aunt came that day (like jenny) so he couldn't get into water.

But we dunked him all the same.

chalet 3

After a night of dunking, we went back to wash up, after which a group of people mahjonged while the others played Werewolf (tropic ver of polar bear) in a room, cos the other was taken up by My-tires & I-funny. It was during the Werewolf session that we concluded that J2 is VERY accurate at prediction. Every target she singled out turned out NOT to be the Werewolf. Her prediction went on to World Cup where she boldy predicted France would win. By inference, France WOULD NOT win. And J2 was correct.

Anyway, the Werewolf game was put to an end at 6am when the chalet experienced blackout. So we guys just went to sleep, while Bryan went to cook breakfast for us. Nice~

Day Two

We woke up to bryan's cooking -- a VERY SWEET corn soup. tC must had been talking to bryan while he was preparing the brew...

glenn din noe i was sleeping beside him. he tot i was my-tires...

And then, it was the start of what we planned for the day, in fact, the highlight of the chalet: celebrating the birth of Shit.

Unfortunately, our plan was foiled by the very ermz... helpful fred. We were so... afraid that Shit would not come on that day. But well...

One team went to get the food, one to get the party items and the rest stayed to prepare... haha... but the stay-back team played bowling while waiting the party team to get back lol With our special rule that those who 洗龙沟 must show their belly-button, after which it turned to get spanked by the others at the butt...

Anyway, the very clever maid of Ma'at bought white chocolate instead of the black chocolate with nuts as ordered. Now, the chocolate was supposed to be used to make the shit-deco on the cake. We were faced with the crisis of having to make do with White Shit.

Thankfully, the very clever maid happened to buy the same wrong thing the day before -- chocolate MILK instead of chocolate. oh well, so we added the chocolate milk into our shit mixture instead. Through the PD's direction, the creativity of tC and the delicate hands of rx, we completed the one and only Shit Cake in the world!!!

At the same time, people like zin and sin en started to prepare for the decorations by cutting out the words Happy Birthday on construction paper.

Then, we had people like 6g and bryan who helped to start the fire and get the BBQ going... =)

margarine cannot b put beside the fire... later catch fire how??

Shit finally came and the plan was carried out smoothly, that is: Attack JUNLI instead of Shit with the Dirty Water Bombs we prepared beforehand. Yes, we all agreed that evil Junli deserves to get sabo-ed for always tekan-ing Shit. haha...

However, after we had our fun with Junli, we turned our attention back to Shit...

Shit in his home...

After tekan-ing Shit, we chatted and mingled around with the people from other group... Till it was time to part...

After which, the gamblers went to stave their cravings while the Ma'at Superstars crooned to the tunes of Fish Leung, Stef and ermz... Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau...

chalet 18

Apparently, a lot happened that night. Like Secret Pals having a special extended version that very night at the Tanah Merah Beach. Special thanks to Shit and Junhui who risked their lives to bring us the special report... oh but of cos, the SP (SEV) was family-orientated. No mature content, except for the smooching of our two special reporters...

DAY THREE

Day 3 was basically rotting day, cos we had nothing to do except to... rot... We went KTV to sing, played bowling and arcaded... or was that the nite before??

After a day of slacking, we went for Round 2 of BBQ, basically to finish off the food we have let from the day before... As usual, the very 'helpful' bryan took the initiative to start the fire again... What with 6g home bound already...

The BBQ this night was more homely, as there were only Ma'at people around (or 90%, cos Kit brought her alex along...). We had fun and crapped like nobody's business. This is in contrast with the old men in the bungalow beside us who had red wine and talked very high class (in hokkien).

Still, most of the Ma'at left after the BBQ for home, leaving only shuohan, glenn, gilb and PD. but of cos, PD is responsible for the chalet, how could he leave early. haiz... Responsibility...

DAY FOUR

It's even crappier. We were to check out by 10am, so we had nothing much to do too, except to sleep till quite late and clear our stuff.

Then, it RAINED. What luck! But thankfully it didn't rain when the main part of the chalet was held. We checked out through the rain, crapped at the bus-stop and then, went off our ways.

End of report.

Gripes

What is the criteria for on-campus housing aniwaes?

I talked to 6g and he said he got his housing after he applied for waiting list at the 1st hour the application website was opened.

Why haven't I got a room? Weren't I on the waiting list too??

He told me that he got it cos the waiting list was based on 1st come 1st serve basis.

But if I was on waiting list, shouldn't I be before him? I was told I was put on the list in the hols, even before the list was opened.

The only other reason I can think of was that I was NOT on waiting list, but Appeal List.

But even so, why am I not given the room 1st? Isn't Appeal List bigger than Waiting List? After all, people who appealed have valid reasons to do that... What is the rationale behind the whole thing?

WHY AM I NOT GIVEN A ROOM?!?!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Just shot an e-mail to OSA regarding the unfair treatment. If I don't get a reply soon, I'll... send a mail to Today again and see if they dare NOT to reply my mail again.

Actually, even if they replied, if I don't get the room, I'll still Today the affair, cos it's an UNFAIR TREATMENT!!! I know Today will want such a juicy controversy... ;)

人事已非

就在半个小时前，我遇见了一位老友；我的第一个好朋友 -- 文福。将近一年前，我也在这里提起他。或许不该说“提起”，因为我花了一个礼拜的时间写了一篇长长的文章给我这位失散多年的好朋友。

就如那篇文章所提，我们最后一次见面是我父亲去世的时候。那时的我，沮丧得对什么事都没兴趣了，所以对当时的他印象也很模糊。如今又在熟悉的场合重逢，才惊觉我曾经犹如亲弟弟般的死党已不是当年的‘小弟弟’了。坐在我对面的是一个长大又成熟的陌生人了。

是的，虽然他的长相没有经历多大的变化，但是就不知道是什么竟然让我犹豫了很久，让我无法确定眼前的就是文福。。。直至他开口叫我。

我是怎么的？！为什么我会如此反应？也许我的的确确已经不是十年前那个健谈的年轻小伙子了。

两个熟悉的陌生人，并排地坐着，三言两语。曾经是高亢地侃侃而谈，如今只剩低声而沉重的寒喧。我俩今非昔比，他有他的光明前程，而我仍是毫无头绪地莽撞过活。

叶展啊叶展。。。你什么时候才能领悟人生奋斗的道理，清醒地活出自己的精彩呢？

Mental Block

I'm getting a little sick of staying in study room, under the sub-19 deg aircon, flipping through the assembly language textbook trying to find a way to even start solving the program.

I hate programming. I hate circuitry.

Basically, anything that requires a problem solved by following a set of rules irks me.

Each programming language has their syntax and rules and format.

Each circuit is limited by the functionality of the gates.

Or perhaps this is something that I'm not that familiar with bah...

For maths, we have a set of rules too. To solve physics questions, we must abide by the physical laws and follow on with maths. Why is it that I'm not as perturbed by trying to solve physics questions than when I hafta solve EE problems?? Why am I in EE??

I guess it's that time again when I start to grumble and wonder how I came to be in where I am now. I could be studying aeronautics, why am I here? I could be studying literature, but why am I here?

I am here, because of a wrong faith in people. I am here because I set my sights too high, so high that no one can agree with me.

How do I struggle through??

Sorry, but I don't think I'll be able to blog about something light as I used to for this period of time.

zenov Returns With More Shit

zenov (the late) has done it again for this morning's lab. He left home later than planned, but will still be only 10 min late for lab IF NOT for the 96 queue that snaked from the berth ALL THE WAY TO THE MRT STATION. So zenov took cab again...

zenov reached the lab on time, only to find it EMPTY.

zenov panicked, so he checked his timetable again... NBCB... EE2007 lab is next fri... The lab today is... EE2011!!! so zenov fished out his laptop and looked for the venue of the lab for EE2011...

Alas! zenov forgot that it's EE2011 lab today and he didn't even read or even print out the lab manual. So zenov went into the lab blur blurly... He finished the lab blur blurly (not to mention chatteringly, cos it was raining and the aircon was blasting like the winds from North Pole...).

Did he mention it was raining today? Did it rain or the clouds just descend onto NUS?? Cos he couldn't even see the YIH bus stop as he walked down the Great Wall. That was how bad visibility was...

And did zenov mention something bad that happened the night before?

Landlady's Daughter dumped zenov's contact lenses down the drain, came into the room and happily proclaimed that zenov used the wrong lens container lol See? This is how bad LD's interpretation of situation was.

I guess such symptom signifies the cause of her illness called: Apparent Memory.

And just before the contact lens saga, I received an e-mail informing me that I did not attend EE3406 lab. I was cursing non-stop in my mind. I ATTENDED the freaking lab on wed! I even skipped lectures for it cos all the available slots overlapped with my lectures and lab sessions...

Though with it or not, I still skip lectures.

But BKTH, I was rather pissed that when I was around, they didn't take attendance and my effort to attend it was overlooked. I left early to rush for my darned lab report due on wed and that was all I got. Sometimes, putting efforts for something spoils the results for the others. How do we find balance??

I sent an e-mail proclaiming my innocence, and thankfully, they verified with the lab TA that I attended the lab. Well well, all's well end well.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

zenov went to man gaw booths on Thurs. He helped out at engin from 1-2pm, cos he was waiting for Ring-ah-Ring-ah-Ring to finish her tut and lunch with him. He never styled his hair when he went out in the morning, but he went for his lunch appointment with a very stylo-milo hairstyle, cos it was Class 5 wind at engin...

He had lunch at UCC spinelli... Nice place, but limited food. So impractical. No wonder Tri-sha (read: TRY-SHAH) likes to eat there... lol Rarar and zenov gossiped and gossiped.

Then, zenov went to arts booth for his slot. zenov not in the soliciting mood that day, so he just stood about and acted as a mannequin. Apparently, none of the girls (nor guys) who passed by were impressed by his presence, so zenov shifted behind the table hiding behind the poster AND chit chat with pui & christine.

chit chat chit chat for 3 hours, before we closed stall and migrated back to clubroom, where I chit chat chit chat and had dinner and chit chat chit chat...

6g they all demonstrated their Stockmarket Trading Floor skills again, this time with SEVEN people holding 3 different conversations over the CSC table. There were people like denise whom I'd never expected her voice to exceed 40dB who tried to match 6g's 140dB.

6g is NOISY. As EE students should know, all signals come with noise. As amplitude of signals increase (louder), the noise it brings increases too, hence the above conclusion. His voice is loud and clear, but along with it comes interference, noise and crackles...

oh well, BKTH.

zenov & His Pile Of Shit

zenov must have stepped on a pile of shit on Mon, cos he has been running a spate of bad luck since (with a dash of gd luck though).

1st he couldn't finish his lab, then he couldn't get the spot he like most in study room. Next day, he couldn't find a vacant lab to continue his unfinished lab report. He went to clubrm and ended up being called down to do some weightlifting (was actually helping melvin carry the heavy stuff of the panels he borrowed from UCC for gaw. The weight is nothing... the climbing up Kent Ridge is !@#$%^&*).

He stayed on in the clubrm, only to be disturbed by people like 6g, yf, lx and yvonne. It was really funny. They were shouting across the room having 2 separate conversations and they could make out what the other party was saying. In zenov's mind, he was thinking that if each conversation was carried out in different frequencies, they wouldn't have to raise their voices. If their talking frequencies were different from zenov's audible frequency, he would have some peace and not be tempted to join in their conversations.

oh yar... zenov tokked to all of them then.

Next day, zenov had another lab. By the time he finished that, he had 45 min left before the linear E lab closed for lunch. The lab manager sarcastically said that he could let zenov use the lab, but he cock-damn sure zenov wouldn't be able to finish his lab.

nabehz... that guy spoke with experience.

Afternoon also bad. Linear E lab was having scheduled lab session again, so lab manager wouldn't let zenov in. Digital lab had the space, but not the amplifier... haiz... oh well...

This morning, zenov nearly missed 197 to school. Luckily there were people at the bus stop waiting for 197 (there usually was ONLY zenov at the bus stop). Bought coffee at canteen to realize that one of his $1 coin was actually sporting THE FACE OF GHANDI.

KNNBCCB !@#$%^&*(()_+{}|:"<>?+_)(*&^|}{^%$#@!~?><":;',./[]\=-`

The coin's value was 20 paise (I pray for zenov it means $20 in ghandinese) and he wonder if imported coins cost more?

nabehz... He must have got the coin from the cab driver on monday... Stupid dishonest bloody motherfucker... Student's money also want to bluff. You know how poor students are?? If it wasn't for the fact that he would be 1 hr late for the lab, zenov would never take a cab!!!

zenov spent some bucks on cab, lost 1 buck due to a ghandi coin, late for lab 15 min and still could not finish his lab... sianz... ><"'

Know what? zenov has a gut feeling that he didn't step on shit but that the ghandi coin was cursed. Perhaps it was put into zenov's pocket by some scheming ghandi student to curse him fail his EE modules. PERHAPS all non-ghandi students were cursed!!! nabehz... what do they want? They should curse the ah tiongs only lor, cos the ah tiongs are the only ones at the top. All those non-ghandians, non-ah-tiongs are the ones at the bottom. You curse them they still at the bottom. Where is the brain you had for getting the As??

Even worse, you curse until they drop out of NUS and guess what?? Ghandians will be at the bottom liaoz... You will absorb all the Cs local kids were getting... lol

zenov decides to keep the coin and exchange it for a sticker with some spastic logo with one of those students carrying tin cans at MRT stations this saturday.

In charity, we are encouraged to Pass It On...

Monday Whines

It's 1300hrs and zenov is tired...

*YAWN!*

but zenov is also slightly depressed...

*YAWNzzz*

haiz... zenov just finished a lab and guess what? He couldn't complete it in time. And in a last minute bid to complete it, he had all the readings gone haywire. He walked out of E4A with spirals for his eyes...

oh well, breast-kiss-the-head. It just means zenov has to wake up early next day to go re-do his experiment.

And then, zenov came to study room and couldn't get the seat he was eyeing. Perhaps the girl will go soon, cos it was nearing the hour. So, he went to have lunch and came back to witness in time a SECOND person kapok-ing his fave seat. NBCC...

But breast-kiss-the-head, zenov still has his second-most desired seat. Though it means he feels a bit shy blogging with tonnes of traffic flowing behind him...

zenov gotta format this entry and quickly settle into mugging mode (lab report due in 3 days and I have another lab on wed and another on fri...). haiz... zenov got his week screwed before it even passed >_<

zenov is still unwilling to start formatting this entry...

So zenov will blog that he plans to go to the gents later to look into the mirror and proclaim: I Bless You.

But of cos, it's very silly to do so, cos zenov has no ability to bless anyone. If he does, he need not be mugging in NUS for an honours degree which he foresees he'll get No-Class le...

oh, but breast-kiss-the-head...

Troubling...

Maybe I shouldn't blog about LB matters here, but well. I suppose if I censor myself a bit, I will not put the RVP in a difficult position bah.

But anyway, some stuff in LB not as smooth. Perhaps it's with working with people who had a different set of agendas, perhaps I'm interfering with stuff I should not be involved with.

Faced with differing opinions as to whether we should use some funds to aid in our efforts in Befriender-retainment. Some 'oldie' and my boss think we should not spend money on volunteers, cos we're an RVP focused on 'serving the elderly'.

1st, my policy. I don't propose we spend 50-50 on L-B. I'm just suggesting we change to 70-30 from the past year's 100-0. Even though I propose as such, I dunch mean to spend every single cent I can that is allocated for Welfare. The point is that if the situation calls for it, I hope that I can use as much as 30% of the funds.

Befriender-retainment is not a simple task. If not, it will not have been an endearing problem CSC has to tackle. Yes, money can't solve the problem. But it doesn't mean reminding people to come for regular visits or using CCA points to induce them can work on their own too. I just hope to have the freedom to use some money if I think it will aid in my work.

I'm assigned as Welfare, I have to care for the Befrienders. If you dunch give me the money when I need it, do you mean me to go and fetch water from a well when my Befrienders are thirsty from volunteering?

It's not about scrimping every cent you get, but about spending them wisely. I'm not asking to have the money to buy Mont Blanc pens for volunteers as souvenirs at each event, but sufficient funds for me to make a decent enough souvenir which I plan to cap at $1/B. Just went shopping at Ikea for MAF and I didn't even spend till the given budget. I didn't even reach the reduced budget Vic had for me, which was $0.80/B.

And 'saving money for elderly' doesn't mean buying 'better, more practical' presents for special events only. It can be like Bs buying stuff like a new radio for the Ls and claiming the money from the comm.

Somehow, people had a rigid idea of expenditure.

I feel like the situation when I'm working with my E31 people: they barely had an idea of what business is.

My E31 people believed a working device is all you need for it to sell. My LB people believed a Welfare head is all you need to retain Befrienders. tC and I had to push so hard the other time for them to agree to make LBFD nametags and LB t-shirts while they bought bird's nest and chicken essence without hesitation (not to mention my gripe that there were 6+2 offer pack during that period of time). They speak of buying 'practical' gifts for elderly, but are those practical?

We must understand that no matter what we buy, no one will think our prizes are practical. This ah pek may feel a non-slip mat is good, but that ah ma prefers bird's nest. But the ah-pek may get the bird's nest and ah ma the non-slip mat and both of them will complain they dunch like them. Even if you give both of them food items, there will be gripes that this is too sweet, that is too bland.

The aim of giving prizes is about the fun, anticipation and joy when you receive a prize. NOBODY will agree the prize they get is good; the prize that they dunch get will always be better.

Geddit? Geddit?

I still want a chalet and I want it to be subsidized.

For such an activity, you bond the Befrienders. You make them feel more belonged to the family. As such, they will be more hesitant when they feel like pontang/give up LB, cos the people they care and grow attached to may still want to stay on.

It's an investment on the Befrienders, you may reap profits, you may not. But like what they tell you about investment, if you dunch invest, you are definitely gonna lose.

If we dunch invest in our Befrienders and we lose them like we did in the past, we're gonna lose in the end cos without B, LB is NOT COMPLETE.

Maybe I'm interfering too much with what I'm not supposed to. If I still get objected, maybe I should give up the post of Welfare, cos I wasn't allowed to exercise my rights as a caretaker of Befrienders. What's the use of being Welfare in name? In the 1st place, RVP Welfare is not recognized in CSC.

zenov Loves His Friends

zenov is in blogging mood tonight and speaking of friends, zenov started to think of some weird theories like he always did. Well, perhaps they are not theories, but just some thoughts.

zenov realized he could not get near anybody, emotionally or psychologically. It was what contributed to his anti-social nature. Yes, he can get all touchy, but physical intimacy can never transcend the emotional counterpart, which in zenov's opinion, is what makes a true relationship (in broad terms) work.

Why does zenov distance himself emotionally?

zenov thought and thought and came up with a few reasons of his own.

First, it could be the fear of getting hurt bah. After all, Not all relationships will turn out well. Even worse, zenov could be 自作多情. He treats people dearly and people treats him like a normal friend. And what about going to a point when you know a person so well and then suddenly something happened to dash all the friendship karma you built? zenov is scared.

Secondly, zenov dunch know how to interact with people well. There are times when zenov says something extra that ends up irritating people, or says something that people can't catch (usually the former). zenov dunch know how to express his love for his friends, or perhaps his way of expression is so different from the norm that other people catch no ball. zenov is afraid that by always calling people up to ask them to accompany him will make the friends feel he's very irritating and thus get turned off by his presence.

Thirdly, zenov doesn't know how to deal with emotional trifes. Friends come to him to talk about intimate stuff and zenov either: couldn't offer sound advice or encouragement or end up saying the wrong words to aggravate the matter. He believes in telling the truth, but sometimes, people cannot take the truth. What's more, zenov's weird theories only work on himself, not on others. So zenov tries not to induce friends into consulting him on intimate stuff, cos he knows both parties will go away blur-blur.

Of cos, besides offering advice, zenov also finds it difficult to bare his heart to certain personal issues. After all, he has never really bared his heart at all. If he ever tells something personal, it's most probably something that happened long time ago and has no immediate effect upon the disclosure of the matter. zenov feels insecure about telling intimate stuff, cos he dunch know what the other party will think of him. Will they think he's being naggy and irritating? Or will they pretend to be nice when in actual fact what they said was just standard answers and they dunch give a hoot about zenov's feelings.

zenov, in an attempt to jump out of the fence, has actually remained all these while on the inside of the fence. He was still sitting on the fence overlooking the plains that spoke of freedom and promising future. Of better opportunities and of better people he meets but never dared to approach.

Right now, zenov ponders about the role he's playing in the social circles he is in. Actually, zenov dunch think something will come out of the 'pondering process', cos without a 'higher knowledge' of the world and the interactions of people, he can never attain immortality in the world of interpersonal relations.

Bonne nuit.

Mood Today Follows The Cosine Function

zenov was in a rather good mood today, cos he learnt to make a serial cable. For the uninitiated, a serial cable is one that we use to connect the computer to its peripherals, though it has different varieties. What zenov learnt was to make a 9-pin serial cable by soldering the wires into the sockets. It was really fun to melt the solder and slot the wire in where it stayed in place in the blink of an eye. It was also interesting to watch his brand new soldering iron smoke and turn brown through oxidation. His Lab TA also praised him for finishing soldering faster than anyone else.

So zenov left the lab, which was said to be the easiest of the string of lab sessions for the module, feeling rather happy. He went to study in study room, his new fave, partly cos the place was quieter and less smelly than the library. Though he didn't really self study, but did some research for his project module EE3001.

Yup, cos he had a meeting for his project mates later.

Let's have some background explanation: EE2001 & EE3001 are both project modules. The former was technical based, where the group was supposed to make a device according to a theme. Like this sem, it was: Intelligent Home. So a group can go and make an automatic vacuum cleaner. The latter, on the other hand, is where the group comes up with an innovation, prove that it is feasible (meaning no need to build the actual device like EE2001) and make a business plan for it.

In zenov's opinion, it means EE3001 focus on the marketing of a product more than the technicality of the product.

There is this typical engin guy A in zenov's group who believed totally otherwise. Apparently, he didn't take any marketing module of some sort, cos his pet phrases were:

1) Marketing is easy lah. Put ad on tv can liaoz.

2) Marketing is NOT important, it's the feasibility/design of the product that is!

3) Aiyah, the 2 people in-charge of marketing have nothing to do!

4) iPod succeeded cos of its good design. Marketing plays no part. Apple didn't put in a lot of money on marketing.

5) Just say we find some stores to sell the product can liaoz.

6) We sell to everybody lah. iPod also can sell to everybody.

No matter how much zenov told him that marketing is not as brainless as he thinks it is, he still put down the marketing aspect as if it was child's play. No wonder so many innovative products failed, cos those who invented it, the engineers, have no fucking sense of business.

1) Marketing is about selling of a product. It goes from positioning of the product in the market to finding the best channels of distribution. All aspects affect the amount of money you spend.

2) zenov DUNCH think Creative products are badly designed. If anything, it has more intuitive buttons than iPod. But comparison is not the issue here. A good design is nothing if you dunno HOW TO SELL IT.

3) Marketing is NOT SO EASY. If not, the module committe would not have wanted us to break down specifically into Marketing, Financial and Technical Sub-groups. Marketing people has their part to do and it's NOT CHILD PLAY.

4) iPod succeeded not cos of its good design, but its SUPERB MARKETING STRATEGY. Meaning, it just didn't throw in tonnes of cash (which it did in atronomical terms), but they reviewed every aspect of the marketing strategy and found the best balance of it all.

5) Selling products is not as easy as putting products on the shelves. The fact that you may get a space on the shelf is already a major problem in the retailing world.

6) Nabeh cheebye. iPod 'sell to everybody' cos it has the money to dump for marketing. But even iPOD is not SOLD TO EVERYBODY. They still segment the market and target the young and tech savvy. Even so, they still spent bloody lots on marketing.

zenov really dunch know what to say. A made their meeting turn out to be so awkward. zenov knows the others were silent, cos they believed zenov had a point and the other guy was being irritating.

zenov mean, another guy B who didn't turn up today was always in a heated argument with him in previous meetings. B was always objecting to A's ideas and all A said in rebuttal was: No no no no no! And that was all. He expected the others to accept his 5 Nos as an explanation to a question to a loophole in the idea he presented.

zenov went away from the meeting feeling all shitty and shitty. To think he actually had a think-he-knew-it-all cum think-he-always-right guy in his group. How is he gonna survive? zenov dunch need an A nor does he want to fail. But at this rate, zenov foresees he's gonna have a hard time for the rest of the sem.

arrggghhhhh!!! zenov tugged at his hair at the thought of this and wow! more hair dropped...

But then, zenov's mood turned better after he attended GAW briefing. The lousy mood persisted, but well, it did turn for the better, especially when he went for post-GAW briefing outing at Clementi.

zenov, J1 and Ives decided to go clementi KFC to wait for tC. On the way, they met zq, cal and edwin, so they all made their way to KFC together. tC came with luke and bs and then after the 3 had their dinner, the whole group went to have dumpling balls.

Nice get together. Having people around him who dunch irritate him makes zenov happy. These people joked and crapped. Though you may say this is quite shallow, but zenov is a shallow person. He believes that if you can be happy being shallow, why not? Yes, friendships become 'more solid' after crisis, and apparently such crisis has not occured even in zenov's Ma'at. However, it doesn't mean that to make a friendship advance, you should CREATE crisis.

zenov went away feeling quite chirpy, even though before the group decided to head home, it started raining cats and dogs. zenov loves rain and coldness. Being with some of his good friends at such fave settings made him feel very blissed.

He took 147 home, which was a spanking new bus. New meaning it was a new design and model. zenov was impressed at the cleanliness and how spacious the bus was. Not smelly! Not dirty! The seats were not broken or missing a handle. Though speaking of handles, there was a lack of vertical hand bars as was the in the older models. No walking while the bus is moving, k! The only grip you have is the one at the staircase!

zenov also smsed Landlady while on the bus. It was actually the 1st time that he sms a person that old! haha... The last record was held by his signal store IC while he was in army, and that IC was 36 (at that point of time). After that, the age cap dropped to 28, then 26 (Bryan lee is still an active friend leh... haha...). In zenov's opinion, it's really hard to communicate with people much older than him, much less using new technology. Apparently Landlady was a very tech savvy woman unlike others her age.

zenov reaches home to a humongous plate of bee hoon. haha... zenov is rubbish bin...

I never saved anything for the trip back, do you? at 11:22 PM

Alternative Conversation

zenov was preparing to go bathe when Landlady's Daughter said: By the time you come out, I'd have finished my malay homework. Then we can do the you-noe-wat.

so zenov replied: What makes you think I'll take so long to bathe? I can't wait to finsh bathing to do the you-noe-wat...

And true enough, after zenov finished bathing, Landlady's Daughter was still struggling with her malay homework. zenov had to wait for another half an hour before she was done. Imagine him bathing for that long! He would have wrinkled like dunno what.

So after that, they did the you-noe-wat.

What? You dunch know what's you-noe-wat? Wanna try guessing? It's related to something forbidden.

haha...

We booked tickets for Forbidden City!!

I'm Not A Superstar, But I'm A Superfren!

Let's clear things 1st. I dunch wanna get caught in an embarrasing teasing situation, so I'm gonna announce this: I went to audition for Project Superstar BUT I didn't get in. haha... ok. Not feeling sad, but feeling scared that they might take a scene with me singing AND MAKE FUN OF ME with silly captions like: Oversized contestants with Oversized ego...

oh but well, at least close friends now (or rather, a month later) won't come to me with a smug smile and snigger: You joined PS right? You looked so... dorkish!!!

haha... Really, I don't feel sad. I told xy that 不到黄河心不死，at least 2 months later, when I'm watching the show, I won't be thinking: aiyer... Should have joined. Maybe I could win.

We can never always live in Maybes...

Also, I thought I am a very good friend. haha... If I can't get a title bestowed by some other people, then I'll bestow a title for myself. lol

I mean, I spent the whole of Monday preparing for the Gift Of The Year: tC's birthday present.

haha... At first I thought putting me as Producer at the top of the Credits list was a bit bhb, but well, I thought I should deserve some limelight. haha... Afterall, I sacrificed sleep before my audition for the POTY lol

Credits

First, I was lazy, and it wasn't until sunday night (after waiting in the sun for 7 hours to register for PS) that I realized tC's birthday was just 2 days away. So I sent a mass msn to everybody online to submit to me a personalized birthday greeting on ppt slide.

But on the next morning, I thought it wasn't sincere enough. I was listening to my zenv:m when it occured to me that I could make use of the player's voice recording function. After all, that player had only been used to record my own singing to check if I went off key (frankly speaking, I rarely use it, cos I think I sound spastic, speaking or singing). So I sent a mass sms to all Ma'ats to come down to clubroom to look for me to record their greetings, where I'll station all day after 12 for the sole purpose of waiting for them.

The aim was simple: Record your greeting. If you want, you can dedicate songs and we'll include the song into the 'album'.

Jenny, Edlina, Derui, Sin En and Zin came as promised. Some of them were very against the idea of leaving voice messages, so they did their ppt slides only. Then, Jenny suggested we make a 广播剧. So we came up with a lame, but short script. With only 4 characters, it should be easy to act out.

Disc 1 Playlist

But problems came.

1st, tC came to clubroom. haha... We had to stop everything. ok, it was my fault too. In order to check if he was going to clubroom for GAW, I messaged something spastic like: You going to clubroom today? Things went out of control and I had to meet him to let him preview the songs I prepared for LB MAF.

Then, nobody was willing to record the 广播剧. Zin ran away, Dr & SE never came back. Edlina was the only one who recorded her dedication. All my hope was pinned on km, who promised to drop by clubroom to make recordings.

(Undecorated) Album Back Cover

But our luck changed. Clubroom was deserted by those hardcore clubroom users, with only Luke, the friend of Ma'at around with me. So it meant we had a peaceful, quiet place where we can record silly stuff! Then km came and Edlina pon her meeting.

Thus we started recording.

It was funny. cos Ed said she had to leave soon, we filtered out the parts with her and recorded those scenes 1st. It was Scene 2, Scene 4, then Scene 3, Scene 5 then Scene 1. Machiam like filming movie! Also, we rehearsed and improved the script on the spot. Like Scene 5, it wasn't there in the 1st place. We included background music too. Sound effects, softening of music... Though not professionally, but it was ok lah.

Album Internal

Then km recorded the Opening Speech for the album. After which, he could not get enough and recorded the Closing Speech.

All in all, the recording session lasted 3 hours.

But that was not all.

I had to record rx's greetings through the loudspeaker of my handphone while I was on the cab. Did the same for bryan at home, where he was in camp doing COS duty, waiting for staff parade. Had to do the post-production, like arranging the tracks, naming them, decorating the album cover and including some Credit and Contents List...

Disc 2 Playlist

After audtion in the morning, I spent some time to decorate the album cover even more. Cos I was like filled the space on the outside, but the inside was barren. Then LF came along to submit her share of the greeting, which was made from cardboard. It couldn't fit into the album itself, so I found some rustic twine in clubroom and tied the cardboard to the album, machiam like a gift.

Boy was I satisfied with the gift.

It was the biggest project I've undertaken for a b'day gift and I ~~bet~~ hope it's the one of a kind gift tC ever received lol

(Undecorated) Album Cover

Once again, Happy 21st, tC!

click here for the contents of the present. haha... dun let km noe dat i posted it online lol he'll come down specially from bv to kill me!! keke...

Great News, Good News

What a saturday. Went to observe the CSC elections and it showed me how difficult CSC people can get. Wanted to at some point of tim to throw some questions, but was afraid I'd make myself sound ignorant. Also, wasn't in a good position to throw questions too...

The outcome was... I don't know how to put it. 2 Ma'at people went in =) Good friend didn't. But for every loss, there'll be a benefit to it. Now friend, you can concentrate more on your studies le bah... ;) Look on the Other Side of the Fence! There should be something that will fancy you de!

Went for LB. oh... Quite a disaster for a 1st regular visit of the semester. The 3 english speaking elderly were not at home (again), so we had about 5 foreigners tagging us along to the dialect-speaking elderly. I thought we'd try to look for the eng elderly one more time next week and if they are still not found, then we'll have to talk to the foreigners le.

Really, I dunno who got them into LB, cos for me, I didn't get a single phone number from those I know who can't even understand chinese. I understand the problem they face and I didn't want to give them false hopes. I treated it as a racist issue during Outreach and Matric Fair to make it light, but now, the problem I fear has surfaced. If we don't handle the problem correctly, it'll affect the morale of the Befrienders greatly.

But well, there's always a bright side of everything.

We have a couple among our newbies! ha... yup. I treat it as a testament to the success of our comm's revolutionized volunteer-orientated management (cos there are definitely other factors contributing to this outcome). Suddenly, I feel so optimistic for our comm's vision. haha... If not, how could love have blossomed within TWO weeks? But people, I reveal this here, but I dunch want this piece of news to spread uncontrollably too. cos I'm afraid our gossips might make them shy and spoil their new r/s.

Just keep it in your mind that you know about it and when the time is ripe, go out to congratulate them =)

I feel so SDU!!!

留恋

也许这就是我。曾经拥有过的东西总是依依不舍。所以家里总有好多用过的东西。就连很久很久以前的小物品，我也会留一两样来为那段回忆作个纪念。你呢？

别人觉得没有用的，我都会珍惜。别人觉得不起眼的，我也会情有独钟。

旧爱还是最美。。。

Learned from EE2007 that despite the hype in modern days of the processing unit breaking new heights, going into Pentium 5 or 3.2GHz, the major part of our lives are basically made up of products powered by processors of the yester-years. Processors from the 1970s: the 386s & 486s. Dunch believe? Your microwave, your building's lift, even your handphone does not use the faster processors around...

所以说新有新的好，旧有旧的巧。

但是有人却认为我这种守旧的人跟不上潮流，适应不了人性的变换。

也许吧。

当一个人的心已不在我这里的时候，我不会积极挽留也不会很快地去另求新欢，而第一时间的反应就是想：我会等你回来我身边的；我相信你在外头游走了一段时间，就会想“家”，想你从前歇过脚的栖身之处。

有谁和我一样？

有一点天真。

但。。。

有我这样天真的一颗心等你回来，你难道不会感到欣慰吗？

只要别忘了回来，我就会高兴了。因为至少你心中还会想到我。

至：所有曾经和我亲密过，但却和我走失的人。

I Had A Lunch Date

ok... It was not so much of a lunch date, rather, I was out with 2 good friends on Thursday. Had KTV lunch and then a sit-down-talk-talk session.

I didn't really try to think about it in the first place, cos the more I think, the higher the expectations I will have. I was afraid that the outcome may fall short of the elevated expectations.

But well, I did put in make some effort to make some cards and little gift to show that I care =) I wasn't really all heck care...

oh well... I really dunch know.

I was having mixed feelings about this meet up. Really. Partly cos of the meaning it holds, and partly of my 'guilty conscience'. Xin li you gui lah. Really didn't know what to make of the whole thing. haiz...

But well, still happy that we met up and talked.

One year later, we'll meet again. Hope I will feel more relaxed and enjoy the company better.

=)
