Perspective....
Difference people who read the same book, comes to different conclusion. Have different opinon and derive at different moral of the story.
As my father has always reminded me... when we read a book we once did some time ago, we will realise that we read the book differently. It is as though we are reading the book as a different person, drawing to different conclusions, and being able to read more in depth to its meaning and moral of the story. This change comes from the road we have travelled and the experience we have gained through hardship and happiness. This makes us to become different people from who we were. For better of for worse. We live life changing, and trying to make sense of this crazy and beautiful world.
For better or for worse, till death will i part.

Hawkings
Hawkings, on the Hallmark channel is truely an inspiring show. I love inspiring show. Its gives me a sense of drive, hope and determination, which lasts for a whole 20 minutes... but nevertheless, it does.
At the age of 21 years, Stephen Hawkings was diagnosed with ALS - amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or motor neurone disease, which renders his physical body useless within merely 2 years. How many of us can take this kinda sh*t when we were 21?
In the record of the next two extraordinary years culminating in one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs of any age. Like the discoveries of Galileo, Darwin and Einstein, it changed the way we think about ourselves and our universe. More importantly, it is an emotional and tender story - one of love, ambition, pride and sacrifice. A record of human behavior at its most extreme limits as we witness the prospect of death nearly destroying and then transforming Stephen Hawking.
"Small as we are,
insignificant though we may be,
we are capable of profoundly big things."
to be successful, you need three things.
Brains,
Money,
and Balls.
Balls to be determined enough. Because they will try to stop you, and you must not let them.

One month has passed.
I found a temp job. Its a contract job for 11wk... till Dec.
FINALLY!
MONEY$$$$ hahaha
I was about to dig worms from the ground to norish myself.
I heard they are high on protein and low fats.
But i soon realise money isnt easy to earn.
Only ending my 2nd wk of work... have been put to shift work. Beginning at 1pm.. and ending at 10pm... or so i tot. For the first two days, i worked till 11pm, and manage to catch the last bus home. But from the third day, I started working till 2-3am.. and have to take a cab home (luckily i get to claim it). Waking up every morning at 10+... i have to leave home by 1130... i practically have NO LIFE! (on wkdays). Suddenly, from 7 days of absolute freedom... (without money tho.. so not so cool) it has shrunk to barely 2 days to do all my stuff...
i.e. continue looking for a job... sending resumes... Fixing my desktop (it just refuse to run any .exe... simply put it... i cannot run ANY programs! Anyone knows what might be wrong with it?) ........looking out for a phone (MY PHONE WAS STOLEN ON MY FIRST DAY OF WORK!!! DAMN IT! I wont up from a nap on the bus to find my phone GONE! my GD 88!!!!! sigh....)
Well... at least i get to save some money to endure me for my future employment.
And it seems.... (thank god)... that i will be having a very merry christmas after all..:)
its almost 3am.. and i am still at my desk in the office... how work changes ones life so fast.
Will update more when i have time....
HAHAHAH
THATS a good one! HAve... TIME?!!!!? >_< hahaha

goodbye tagboard.
Due to technical difficulties and refusal of my tag board to appear on the blog, I have decided to remove it altogether. But you guys who wanna drop a message can always do so by using the "comments" tab below every entry. dont be lazy.
.... ok.. kinda a rough week for me so far. Been busy with job searching and who knows what...
tots: Isnt it so sad how most people can only see you for how you look like on the outside, and not know you for who you really are? Unless you can show it, or put it out in words to sell yourself? Maybe thats what most girls want in a guy. Someone who can know them well enough to not have to say anything, but still know exactly what they are thinking. But i am sure girls wont have this problem, most of women have strong language skills. Whereas men, engineers, me, just cant express nuts! But one things for sure, i can find a word to express myself now, and that word is...
FRUSTRATION.

I was told...
I was told...
"I hear you complain about it all the time.
Why aren't you doing anything about it rather then just complain?"
And it is true.
Why DONT I do something about it.
There is enough of words and empty promises...
its time for action.

Got to get moving..
I really should start blogging more often.
Once again, i have proven to myself that my english SUCKS!
First it was the thesis. NOW, its the cover letters.
I have finally spotted a job i really wanna do... but when i try to write an impressive cover letter, it took THREE DAYS and FIVE Drafts!!!
Red Ink flying left right center across the page. >_<
"TotALLY MAKES NO SENSE!"
"SENTENSE STRUCTURE ALL WRONG!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?"
"THIS ISNT A COVER LETTER! ITS A VOLMIT OF WORDS!"
...are the comments i recieved...
I just cant seem to express myself in words. I open my mouth.. and........ blank.... all my thoughts and little wheels in the head turning, but ..... blank.. i just cannot express what is in my mind into words.
My moral hit ROCK BOTTOM.
I really need to brush up my english. I need professional help :(
I also have to confess i have been doing nothing... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING these days... ROTTING my life away..
but NO MORE!
Starting Today! (Tomorrow, Sat), I will gather myself, and get my fat arse moving!
RAWR!!!!

It was actually getting better till the sat's gathering at my place where my friends bought TONS of tit-bits.. and it REALLY doesnt help to have a tournament the very next day. My throat was so dry and painful, its like a million daggers cutting and stabbing in there whenever i swollow or speak...@_@
Till this day I am still suffering the aftermath.... the cough! the worse actually. but luckily its not too frequent.. but i definately have the sick sick feeling.. i hate being sick...
k la. thats all for now.. just decided to blog since i havent been blogging for some time. take care..

THE end of the world...
At least thats what i thought it was... when i heard the thunderous ROAR coming from downstairs at 5 pass midnight....
The outer brick wall surrounding my house garden COLLAPSED!!!
10-15 meters of it!!
looks like terrorist attack like that... at least thats wat it sounds like when it collapsed.... i thunderous ROAR!
I dont think its a terrorist attack... at least no one has claimed responsibility of the blast..........yet.....
Nah!
The soil couldnt take the weight... apperently.. the previous owner didnt build it with foundation... so i guess after so many years of sun and rain.. the soild finally gave way......
The wall fell towards the outside and luckily, reached the other side of the canal.. forming a bridge in some sense... but i dont know how much longer it can sustain its structural integrity. I hope it doesnt crumble and falls into the canal... or else i believe ministry of environment would have something to say about it.

Job Hunting ~ Day 1
YEAH! The FIRST day of my job searching just ended! Job hunting is HARD work!
Am not exactly sure what I wanna do with my life yet... but i think i will be attempting to apply for jobs from the Financial, Marketing, Engineering and maybe even event organisation industry.
But with ZERO experience, its kind hard to get an interview. Will just send them out and see how it goes. And about the internet making things easier for online job application. I think its bull! It seems to be extremely user unfriendly. After 2 hours with meddling with it, I've decided to just go ahead and send physical copies of my resume instead.
Just became 20 bucks poorer getting ink catriage for my printer, a stack of printing paper, and some envelops (30cents each?! its just folded paper!!).

Dengue again?!
I have been bitten twice by a mosquito today... and when i finally manage to kill it.. i saw black and white strips on it legs.. An Aedes aegypti (a.k.a. Aedes mosquito).
Its been said that if you get contract dengue fever the second time... it could be fatal. Heres why.
"Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) are caused by one of four closely related, but antigenically distinct, virus serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4), of the genus Flavivirus. Infection with one of these serotypes does not provide cross-protective immunity. "
~CDC
Being immune to one virus, the body might think it is immune to the others as well, when it is not. So the immnue system might not recognise the other viruses and leave the victim helpless to the attack.
As of lately, the number of people contracting this dengue fever has shot up from a 136 to 300 cases per WEEK. The things we all take for granted. Lets just hope I dont end up in the CDC bed one more time.

physics.. hmmmm
Impulse = Change in Momentum = Force x Duration of Impact
or
Force = Change in Momentum / Duration of Impact
To minimise damage on the body, is how to minimise force or extend duration of impact.

words on paper
Georgie Lacus mentioned that he chose singapore to locate his animation studio so as to "take advantage of symbolic meshing of creative talents from the east and the west".... does this mean jedis would run about in sarongs and dark sith lords will have cool tatoos and curse the jedi in hokkien? COol! Cant wait!
Tay Yek Keak's comments in the 'Life' section of ST regarding The War Of the Worlds (a.k.a. WOW) was a RIOT! hahaha.. its been a long time since I laughed so loud. Or maybe its just our shared sense of humor...

I love the Sky
I love the sky.
As I look up into the skies... the vast, endless skies...
i realise there is more to life,
and how small we, and our problems are.
That... there is still HOPE,
under this endless sky.

But no matter what, at least it wont be as rush as this 2nd draft. Madness.. change/restructure/add everything in 2 days!

Just got back my first draft..... some corrections.. and MAJOR RESTRUCTURING.....
I have this tickling sensation to either RIP my heart out or disembowl myself. My sup wants me to redo my conclusion and email it to him by the end of today, and make all the corrections AND... restructure my WHOLE thesis... all by tomorrow night.. or thurs morning. What the Freakin HELL! its like writing my whole thesis all overagain... but just that this is all to be done in a day+.... I think i will need to stay overnight tomorrow to ATTEMPT to get all these done... crap crap crap... i feel ABSOLUTELY CRAPISH!

Nows..adays...
Meanwhile... finally... my first draft was submitted to my sup and now waiting for him to look through it while he is in china. He should be back next tues and will return me the thesis correction. THen.... i will get busy again doing the amendments AND do his 2 journal articles for him.. grumble grumble...
Job hunting job hunting.... something i should be doing now.. but not doing ...:P
Although i have a generic resume worked out... but have not sent any out yet.. should do so soon la hor? :P ahhaa but i have been toying with the idea of going into the finance or banking industry lately. Well... one things for sure.. it is never a sunset industry... unlike technological industry where theres always rise and falls... who are NOT deal with money. Dealing with money is alway needed! :) and whats more.. i love MONEY!!! :) Muahahah.. well.. marketing sounds interesting too... although i also show interest in event organization, but just not sure how good the prospects are of this line of work in Singapore. And of course... Engineering... what else.. it would be NICE if i could put my masters degree to good use.. (like getting myself higher income). But.... after doing this for the last 3 yrs... i am all the more sure that.... INTEREST... is more important than anything else.
Sooo... anyone out there with lobangs... pls let me know ya! after living on my own savings for a yr.. and eating grass everyday... i LOOOOONG for sashimi, unagi, cha soba... escargo, steaks and other fine dining. Not to mention SHOPPING!!! oh man!!! Great Singapore sale is on... i got all the time in the world.. but no $$$..... anyone need me to shop FOR them? haha.. just gimme a ring man! i will be more then happy to be of service..;)

Heartbeat Irregularity?! O.o
I have been feeling feverish and have a splitting headache lately. So I went to see a chinese doctor on thursday... and was diagnosed with..... IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT!!!! huh?!?!? never before have i heard that i;ve got thaT! Maybe its cos of all the late nights, pressure and stress that i inflicted upon myself during the course of the atrocious thesis writing and correcting for the last few weeks. -_-
Sooo... i am laying off strenuous exercise for this 2 wks for now. Just trying to get my disaster of a health back together again. I think will be going back to that chinese doctor for a follow up either today or tomorrow.. hope things get better... and that its nothing permanent.... -_-"

catching up
Phew! been catching up with friends lately... finally after the first draft of my thesis is done*..
Its really great to know that after all this mugging of thesis... lifeless weekends and seemingly endless road of life... i do have packets of friends to catch up with. Today, i met up with rovers friends whom i have not met up for almost a year!! Some started work... some still in school... but everyone has grown... have i?
Then at 11pm!! i met up with some friends whom just returned from their TIBET trip1!!! TIBET IS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! i wanna expend THousands of Giga-bytes of Compact Flash memory and magazines of barrels of film on the amazing scenery and lifestyle there... Sigh... how sad i missed the trip... but lucky that i decided to withdraw from it... i would never have been able to finished my thesis in time...
thesis thesis thesis.. its like my whole life for the pass 1 year have been revolving around it......note i mentioned 1 yr.. ahhaa.. cos the first year of my masters... i have been busy mastering icq and msn messenger... my second year i was busy mastering the skill of kendo admin.. hahaha... and finally... the third.. my thesis... is THAT great time management or WHAT?! :P HA!
K la... tomolo going back to lab to continue the endless struggle of me against engrish! -_- elk...
*Note: actually it is not done yet... just kanna thrown back at me to check through my english before my sup reads it cos he has recently been traumatized by some students horrendous powderful engrish! >_< so i am rushing like mad to rephrase much of the sentenses and paragraphs that i wrote when i was either half-awake or brain dead while rushing for my thesis....-_-

Attack of TransFATS
I've been wanting to find out more about this Trans-Fatty Acid thing i've been told about for sometime... but as usual, thinking that i will do it later. Well, later finally came. And it is truely scarey how much of these we are consuming without us knowing it.
Simple summary, trans fats is something found in many of the things we eat today. French Fries, Cookies, Margarine and many fried food. Cos trans fats not only increases bad cholesterol (like saturated fats), it also decreases your GOOD cholesterols which helps protect you from heart diseases!
It is used in fast food restaurants to keep the vegi oil from changing colour after many times of use. So dont think that if they use vegi oil, it means its a good thing.
The stiffer and harder fats are, the more they clog up your arteries. Trans fats do the same thing in our bodies that bacon grease does to kitchen sinks. Over time, they can "clog the pipes" that feed the heart and brain, which can lead to heart attack or stroke risk.
Not scarey enough, let the experts tell u more.
Heres some paragraphs i quoted from a few of the many websites trying to bring awareness to the public about trans fats:
Trans fatty acids, also known as Trans Fats, is an artery-clogging fat that is formed when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine or shortening. It is found in many other foods besides margarine and shortening, however, including fried foods like french fries and fried chicken, doughnuts, cookies, pastries and crackers. In the United States, typical french fries have about 40 percent trans fatty acids and many popular cookies and crackers range from 30 percent to 50 percent trans fatty acids. Doughnuts have about 35 percent to 40 percent trans fatty acids.
Trans fat is known to increase blood levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad" cholesterol, while lowering levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), known as "good" cholesterol. It can also cause major clogging of arteries, type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems, and was found to increase the risk of heart disease. Many food companies use trans fat instead of oil because it reduces cost, extends storage life of products and can improve flavor and texture.

DUST-BUSTERS!!
If theres something strange.... in your neiughbourhood.. who r u gonna call?
DUSTBUSTERS!!!
Voom... Voooomm....*sucking up dust with vacuum....*
die DUST MITES!!! DIE!!!!
"FOR a DUST FREE ROOM!!!"
FREEDOM!!!!
After a week plus of lementing... i have finally dragged myself hand feet and torsol into tidying up my room.
a clean.... ok.. maybe just TIDY room is important :)
It really affects the mood of the person inhabiting it. You wake up in the morning.. and see the room amess.. it really sucks dont it. I mean we can always get defensive and says "Its not bad WHAT!!! a bit messy.. but i can find my things... " hahaa.. but we can find our things BETTER if there are tidy wont we? Of course, moms and dads helping to tidy our room without our supervision usually turns out in disaster! so any parents out there who stumbled into this unsuspecting blog site, pls dont go off thinking of venturing into volunteery dustbusting without ur children's athorization. It usually ends up in disaster.... i digresss... -_-
So here i am... after months of peruasion from the owners of this house... i have finally done it! or am doing it more like it.. starting small... doing corner by corner.. should have things up and tidy in no time... (translation... about 2-3 months) hahaha...nah.. can la... a few days.... maybe sunday afternoon can settle liao.
Voom VOoooomm!!!!

Pool, tan, man, woman
I decided i must remain healthy.. thus... i went swimming today..
swam 40 laps non-stop!!! very proud of myself.... but it took me a long long time la.. ahahha.. about 1hr? hahaa but its the tot that counts... not the speed..:P
but a disturbing observation i have made today...
there were more MEN sun-tanning at the pool side..... corrections... ALL those sun-tanning at the pool side WERE MEN! the gals were all in the pool! what has the world become?!???
are men really turning into whimps?!
what does the future of mankind hold?!
foundation, blusher and mascara?

FREEDOM!!!!
YESH!!! finally... after 40 hours without sleep... i completed the frist draft of my THESIS!!!!!!!!
only to almost got returned back to me cos my supervisor said he might not have time to look at it till 3 weeks later.... but i used my OH SO VERY INTENSE LOOK @_@ . . . . . till he gave in.. and promised to TRY to look at it when he has time. Actually this happened late last week. I have been tryin to recover from all the 6 months worth of lifelessness... sigh... but doesnt matter! cos i am FREE NOW!!! FREEEEE!!!!! for a wk... then i will be back to work next week to write the 2 journal papers my sup wants me to write for him for publication... THEN! he will release my thesis (which is held as hostage) back to me for the amendments! and then! i will submit for graduation! ahhaa.. but that will be about 1 months time la... but its ok.. at least my first draft is finally done.
more about it later la.. need sleep...
Zzzz....

...and then, there was the thesis writing
Wow! this must be a record er... few wks that i've blog. Been really busy with thesis writing which isnt as simple as i would have hoped for. Information overload!! Too many things to put in.. too little space. With another 2/3 of my results and discussions to go... i have already reached at least 70 pages...-_-" My sup will ask me to READ him my thesis at the rate i go.. >_<
Oh, anyway, backdating... the presentation went relatively well..good and bad la. first half was good.. second half was bad. haha. second half was what the cambridge prof is good at and have been doing it for about the duration of my LIFE SO FAR! -_-" so natually, i kanna buah with butter and jam, toasted and served for tea....>_<
But i survived.
SO since then, i've just been reorganising and touching my pictures and graphs for the thesis. Today, i sleep till noon ^_^ Ahhhh....shawase (jap for "Happiness" ^_^ ).... now hugging my pillow and typing this blog in a dark table-lamp lited room, i await lunch to be cooked.... then back to the cave... my lab.
Hark! i heard the woman of the house calling for lunch! I am needed. My stomach growls, the post ends.
Seeya.

ME vs Cambridge
Oh man! although i wanna lay off blogging for a while, but THIS, i gotto blog.
I just attended an 1 hour presentation by a professor from cambridge late this afternoon. And am I glad i attended it. I realised, that all I have done for my project, isnt just a pile of rubbish! Ok, maybe a little background info.
A 3 party join research project regarding shock reliability of handheld electronical equipment (e.g. Handphones, PDAs, Laptops), by NUS, Cambridge and IME (Institue of Micro-Electronics) was formed in june 2002. And i have faithfully join this research project as the NUS side of the ONE responsible to research on the material properties of solder in drop impact conditions. On the other side, Cambridge is doing so as well. So they can be considered my counterparts.
Only after this meeting just now, did I realise, that what i have been doing over this period of time, is about 80% similar to the things that cambridge has done. Oh no, its not about repeating what we are doing, as each side need to build our own capabilities in doing such work. But its the amount of work done. Of course they had better direction and was much more refine in presenting their work, and they have other work to do as well. But it has never occured to me, that what i have been doing is actually 80% similar to what they have done! Maybe i should tell you more.
In Cambridge, they have, 2 lab technicians, 2 PhD students and 1 FULL Professor and a 4 storey laboratory working on this! Not all the time, of course, but they DO! And what have I? Squatting at the back of my lab, and two paper boxes containing things such as wooden clothes clips to hold onto a test tube containing MOLTEN solder at 300 degree celcius, above a naked flame coming from a S$30 butane blow touch (available at any hardware store). Several times almost killing myself with imploding molten solder when the glass test tubes cracks when it couldnt take the sudden change in temperature when it comes into contact with cold water* thus a 300 degrees difference in temperature enough even to crack a concrete block. Yes! this is the life i lead... and i have manage to obtain results comparable with what Cambridge is doing!!!!!
*Warning, molten tin-lead solder DO NOT mix well with cold water
ArrrgGGGGGGGHHHhhhh!!!!!!
All my hard work is not wasted! It is not all rubbish!!!!!
THERE IS a light at the end of this deep dark tunnel!
Although i might actually stay a week or 2 more then expected to make more out of the raw results i have (which is more then it seems at first, just like diamond before polishing, its needs some polishing to show its full glory), but at least this time, I will do it with pride. Something I feel i have been lacking, for this past long bumpy road i have been traveling.
So END it soon will.
But held high, my head will be.

Lost from Civilization Part 2
Halo guys! sorry for the lack of presence from the internet these days. Been covered head to toe with work.
No.1
My desktop has limited memory ( RAM ) so cant run simulation and do ANYTHING else at the same time. Also, cannot log into internet for security reasons while using simulation program.
No.2My home laptop has been infected with a super sneaky and vicious and irritating virus/spyware. Its soooo well hidden, that after using 2 virus scans and 5 different types of anti-spyware software, the ROOT is still undetectable. all i can remove are its fruits. So no internet for me at home too. I just recieve icq msgs from my lab mates whom sent them to me LAST WEEK regarding work. hahah... too late...
No.3 Yesterday, my whole world crumbled and fell. Happily walking back to lab, it suddenly struck me. All the data i have using in simulation are all Engineering Properties, and are different from the True properties. Engineers usual uses Engineering properties to do calculations and all, and these calculations has certain assumptions which makes things a lot easier to do. Actually, a lot of calculations for buildings, machines and things we use and live in today using these simple assumptions which makes work a lot easier. ok, enough of the physics lessons. Simply put it, i used engineering properties in simulation while i was suppose to use TRUE properties because at high deformation of 0.8 strain. The TRUE stress experienced is a big difference from the engineering one.
to keep things even simplier. I HAVE TO REDO ALL MY SIMULATIONSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! (which was 80% done after 2 wks of running the computers overtime). Like i said, my whole world came crumbling down.
Luckily, i had 3 tons of epoxy glue with me, and after a whole night of video therapy, i managed to glue it back together. sigh.... wat to do, gotto delay my submission of first draft to April liao. Sounds so freaking familiar this story.
Thanks, guys out there who are concern about me. But i am OK! I have experienced too many downfalls to let this one take me down. Will FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Like the mad scientist said, MUST BE STRONG! YEAH!!!
Ok, Alpha Oscar over and out!
Seeya guys in about a month or 2 time.

tots
Problems are things everyone will encounter. But to fall into dispare is a choice that people make.
So when man faces problems that is beyond their power to solve, what do they do?

Medical Bills are expensive
I just send my precious digital camera for repairs yesterday. And guess wat, it will cost me $60 just to send it in for checkup, and extra for whatever repairs it needs!! Forget about Wallstreet, Nanotech and Biotech. The money is in customer service man! For doing nothing, they get paid $60!!! I still had to go all the way down to harbourfront myself to send it in for repairs... and it will take them 2 weeks to get back to me.... -_-"
ArrrrrgGGggggg!!!!
Anyway, its done, just see how it goes bah. . .
Another frustrating thing is that the equipment i need to use to get the rest of my data before i can run the rest of my simulations has been reserved by a bunch of FYP students! arg! And its booked all the way up till end next week!!! arg!!!! I NEED IT!!! its the bottle-neck of my results now. I CAN write part of my thesis first la, but the simulations are the more time consuming part. And i still need to write a discussion based on the simulation results... oh man...... >_< meanwhile, i just have to b contented with trying to do the outline and plan for my last few chapters on results and discussion. . . .
OH! i got a Small Nalgene bottle! Isnt it the coolest thing!! ^_^
HAahha i feel like a kid with a new toy >_<
T_T too bad no digital cam to take photos of it to put online to brag... :(
ArrrrrgGGggggg!!!!
Anyway, its done, just see how it goes bah. . .
Another frustrating thing is that the equipment i need to use to get the rest of my data before i can run the rest of my simulations has been reserved by a bunch of FYP students! arg! And its booked all the way up till end next week!!! arg!!!! I NEED IT!!! its the bottle-neck of my results now. I CAN write part of my thesis first la, but the simulations are the more time consuming part. And i still need to write a discussion based on the simulation results... oh man...... >_< meanwhile, i just have to b contented with trying to do the outline and plan for my last few chapters on results and discussion. . . .
OH! i got a Small Nalgene bottle! Isnt it the coolest thing!! ^_^
HAahha i feel like a kid with a new toy >_<

Thesis so far...
is not done yet. OBVIOUSLY! If it IS, i wouldnt be here typing this blog. I would either be in town shopping to my heart's content, or nuaring at home watching anime or japanese drama, OR be at some beach lazing in the sun!! -_- unfortunately, i have not YET completed my theiss.
As i have mentioned, I am doing simulations now. Much better then that data processing phase, but ironically more busy. But busy is good. At least things are going. At the Data processing phase, i was just brain dead. Not knowing how i should go about selecting 7 curves out of 70. Its just like asking u to choose out of 70 people, which 7 should survive in a amagadon level disaster and represent MANKIND. Who is better, WHAT is better. >_< ArgggH!!!
Luckily, that phase is over. Now, all i have to do, is to troubleshoot and get the simulaiton running as i want it to, and smoothly. And of course, some MORE data analysis and experiments cos i just found out a BETTER way to attain the results. OK! dont panic! it wont take forever, this is just the LAST batch i will redo... hmm... sounds familiar doesnt it. Oh well, really, this WILL be the last batch of experiments i will do. Anyway i am out of SnPb solder. Cant believe i ACTUALLY used up all 3Kg of flux-free solder wire. >_<
So for now, its twigging with simulation, and when its running, i will do more machining, experiments and data processing for subsequent simulation. Things are moving like clock-work now. A few hick-ups along the way, but generally moving.
Although some of you might notice my absence from msn recently, thats cos when my simulation is running (7-8 hrs each run), i have to turn off alll other applications on my computer. Cos I need to squeeze out ever single drop of RAM i can get my hands on. Limited RAM la, only 256MB (which is just peanuts in today's computing world).
Ok ok! enough of this, back to work! Wait for my good news.....(in 3 wks or so) and then, FEEDOM!!!!!

My precious is unconscious!!!
She didnt wake up with my gentle touch.
I tried to shake her awake, but she didnt respond.
I even tried to slap her awake, but was in vain.
MY DIGITAL CAMERA WONT TURN ON!!! >_<
Argg!!!! Its was discovered that my Canon Powershot S45 couldnt regain consciousness last thursday morning. When i was thinking of taking a few shots of the water droplets on the car's windscreen. Something seems loose inside. But its been like that since THE DROP! and survived well for the pass 8 months or so. Why!!?? So WHY did it stop working now??
I never tot i would miss her so much till she stopped working. I guess i have always took her robust-ness for granted. And also, i never realised how much i relied on it. She's always be my side. Using her to capture kodak moments, or what i HOPE would be kodak moments. Be it trying to improve my photography and composition skills or just taking some photos for memory-sake, i have always relied on her. And now that she is down, i am at a lost.
I guess i will bring her down to the hospital (Canon customer service center @ habourfront) one of these days to put her under observation. I hope i have enough money for the operation. >_< Lets hope its not a heart-transplant of need any replacement of major organs.....T_T
My precious!!!! come back to me......S45!!!!!!!

Horay!!
Horay!!!
My simulation results finally seem normal. Phew!
Ok, will try to sound as lay man as possible.
You see, after doing the simulation, i need to extract the strain data from the simulation to compare it with my experimental data of the same setup, expect it is the real thing. The reason why i wanna do simulation is so that i can use the simulation to test out the material properties of the 3 types of solder i have experimented with, to see if it can be used to predict the results of the actual experiment. If it indeed can, then its a success! If it can't, well then too bad. Edison tried thousands of materials to be the filament for his lightbulb before succeeding didnt he? haha.
Anyway, i digress. So the simulation was giving me rubbish strain results!!! the strain output from the simulation resembles something like a 1 yr old trying to draw something... anything. just zig zagged lines. rubbbish (although recently, some elephants in thailand has developed the skill of painting with their trunks. and the painting was auctioned at a price of S$60,000, isnt it better to be an elephant these days?) I digress again, so the funny thing is, the stress value is however very nice, very similar to what i expected the shape of the graph to be like. Which doesnt make sense!! Coz,
Stress = Strain X Young's Modulus
and since Young's Modulus is defined to be a constant in my simulation, then the Stress history graph should have the same shape as the strain!!! But it doesnt!!!
But after me and 3 other PhD students brainstormed for a while, we finally found out its because we had to change this setting for the calculation to be at double precision rather then single precision! >_<
Thus, to keep the long long story short, with a click of a button, my life seems so much less bleek out of a sudden.
Hor!!!
Breakthrough!!! Motivated now liao!!!
Work work work!!!!

Rain! Finally! . . . . . its a rainy day... very rainy.
After a dry spell, bush fires and smokey skies for the pass month, it has finally rained!! No more smokey smell of burnt ashes in the morning, nor misty foggy skies. Ahh!! Its sooo good to breathe and see clearly again.
Its just after lunch, and i just cannot imagine starting work. The inertia must weigh a few million tonnes. >_< Cos during lunch, i just calculated the time i need to do that 54 simulations (note that i REcalculated the number of simulations i would be required to do, twice! and it still adds up to 54. -_- arent the numbers suppose to go down everytime you count it? Ah! maybe i got it confused with my wallet -_- )
Calculation process:. . . . . . . . .
3 Different Materials,
3 Different Microstructure per Material
3 Different Striker Velocity per material per microstructure
AND!
2 Different dependence PER material, PER microstructure, PER striker velocity. . . . . . . . . .
-_-"
= 3 X 3 X 3 X 2= 54. . . . .
time taken PER simulation. NINE HOURS!
Total time taken for ALL simulation = 54 X 9 = 486Hrs
Number of Days to run simulation = 486/24 = 20 1/4
i need almost 3 WEEKS to run that 54 simulations on ONE computer!!!!
Lucky i got 2.. but still... its like a minimum of 11 Days!!!!!
-_- and i still havent been able to start yet... Hahahahaha....
This is SOOO FUN! >_<

1st of March!
I cant believe it! its the first of march, ITS MARCH ALREADY! and i am still here. where? nowhere! The word Depression sounds like wonderland for my present mental state now. >_< I kept thinking that I would be able to complete this by end of Dec after my Japan trip. I didnt. I TOT i was going to complete it by end of jan or by cny, but i DIDNT! And then i told myself, "no worries I will complete by end feb", guess what? I DIDNT! >_<
Siighhh.... now i hope to complete it by end of march, hopefully before my birthday. Although the data processing is done, I am about to start doing the simulations, which leaves the simulations, and the rest of the thesis writing (simulation, results, discussion and conclusion) but it seems FOREVER!!! Can i do it in time? CAN I?!!!?? ARgg!!!! I hands itch to hit some heads. and mind to get some rest....-_- Moan~~~~

a word a day (issue 1)
Making up new words.
I like to make up new words.
Making up new words. It make me feel like i contribute to society(on top of the research i do on solder material which will one day, revolutionalize how mankind smashes their portable electronic devices such as cellphones, discman, mp3 player and the ugly looking ipod, elk!). But more often then not, its most probably that i just mis-spell the word (on msn/icq). -_-
The first word i will be making up today, that i will be so generously sharing with u guys is,
Bluffer
noun
1. A person who mislead or deceive.
2. A person who impress, deter, or intimidate by a false display of confidence.
3. A person who deprives others of gossip which they have promised to talk about, but fails to deliver and should be dragged out onto the streets to be tickled, fed with bowls of wasabi (through the nose OF COURSE), made to drink Luo2 Han4 Guo3 juice, have cockcraches/lizards (depends which the offender fears most) put into his/her pants and forced to watch local variety shows over and over again.
Bonus issue 1+:
Dame
adj
1. Damn gone wrong.
2. Synonym as Damn.
e.g. Dame YOU! Dame it! Dame!

Just one of the 30 batches
Each of these specimens were personally and carefully crafted over 20-30minutes each. And smashed up in a matter of micro-seconds. T_T My babies!!!

Green Light!!!
Finally, after many breathless moments, actually, 45 minutes of it, of presenting my analysed results of my experiments, my supervisor has given me the green light to go ahead to do the simulation and start drafting the chapter on discussion!!! WhooHOooo!!!
2 of my lab-mates have just given us a treat at the nearby seafood restaurant. It was great man! The hot plate tofu, fried cod fish, boiled prawns and pork ribs were FANTASTIC!
Now back in lab again, will start rearranging my results and start simulation soon! hopefully in the next 1-2 days can test drive already. I have a staggering total of 54 simulations to run . . . . . . . . gasp!!!

Bad Day for SEM
1030am, i went to the materials lab to polish my samples before coating them with Au(GOLD) to help conductivity when placed into the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope). All seems easy. Polish my specimen. Etch it with chemicals to make the microstructure more define, coat it was gold, and there you go! SEM sample ready for use. NOT!
Whats suppose to be a 1 hour task lasted for 3 WHOLE hours! Because the Au-sputtering machining went haywired and deposited a thick layer of Au instead of the usual thin layer. Then i had to redo the polishing and etching, oops... over-etched...so re-polished....and Opps.. over-etched AGAIN! ARGG~~~!!! So after 3 failed attempted, i finally got them done and coated my samples with Au.
This only left me with 1 hour to chop chop settled my lunch and prepare for the SEM session.... which turned out to be 2 hours of frustration of hide and seek and focusing nightmare!!! >_<
*Stress alert activated!!!*
COKE TIME!!!
Sigh.... glup glup glup....
Burb!!!!
*tummy bulges out*
-_- Grosss.....

Love Letters
Last Saturday, I went to my friend's place to Bai4 Nien2. Basically just another hanging out session with lots of laugh and eat and playing of PS2, and of course, LOVE LETTERS! Those with chocolate twirls on the inside. Yummm.....
I got so addicted, i almost single handledly finish half the can >_<
But the addiction didnt stop there. Yesterday, during lunch, i went to the nearby supermarket and bought a tin of it for myself! And guess what, the addiction was spread to the rest of my lab. Within 2 hours (the time taken for me to leave my tin of love lettes UNPROTECTED) it was half empty!!! Gasp! But its good to share good things with friends :)
But things got too far. This morning, even the TIN was gone!
-_-
I didnt even get a chance to take a photo of the empty tin.....

CNY SHOPPING!!!!
YESH!!! TOday, I went Chinese New Year Shopping!!!!
Thanks to my Dad's generous contribution to my save-the-scholar campaigne, I HAVE MONEY TO BUY NEW YEAR CLOTHES!!!
So first things first. office wear. I needed to go some clothes that i can use for future interviews and possibly WORK! >_< So i roamed around in Taka to look for them. To my disappointment, they either are too flowery, or too old fuddy duddyly. -_-" I tried a plain white shirt ( official formal office wear ) from Daniel Hecter, and i look like an 50 year old OLD MAN!!! >_< the cutting is all wrong man!!!
Then i move on the G2000. Vowing that i will not purchase any shirts from that place as i always tot it was too common and the tops are too plasticy, i went there in search of a decent (CHEAP) pair or office pants, and maybe the simple plain white top i was looking for. So i grabbed a pair of pants, and asked for a white shirt. But the sales assistant asked me to try on a pale PURPLE SHIRT!!! for size....... ........ i obeyed reluctantly. But to my suprise, the pale purple shirt looks quite good. gasp!!
Ok! listen me out here. i KNOW what it seems like, but neither did i ever dare to imagine i would look ok in purple. But it DOES look not bad. Maybe i like that cutting, but like my faithful friend said, maybe i am more suited for warm colours(watever that means) so maybe that purple goes. nevertheless, i like it. And after testing several stuff, finally to go with a plain pair of dark navy blue (almost black) pants, AND THE PURPLE SHIRT!!! Heh! ok guys, u guys gotto trust me here. My taste of clothings isnot THAT bad righT? RIGHT? right??? ..... hello......? hello?
But the BEST BUY was actually a pair of thin soled sneaker i got from Tangs. I have ALWAYS been looking for a pair or red shoes to go with my jeans. Always tot it look good. But after missing the chance to buy the one from Nike ( the one without shoelace, elastic type... er...nevermind), i have been searching high and low for sooo long. And thanks to "BAKA" who apperently have HIGH HIGH HIGH (translantes = EXPENSIVE$$ expensive$$) taste in clothings, for the first time, suggested i try somethign actually affordable. And thats the 69.90 dollar pair of RED SHOES!! ^_^ I love it! Honestly, i would have never tot of trying it as it might be too LOUD, but after her persuasion, i tried it on, and Liked it a lot! :) Thats why i like to shop with girls. They always make me try on stuff that i will NEVER even dream of trying, and SOMETIMES, just sometimes, it turns out to be a good buy :) So, i am although a sick, but a happy shopper :)
*prancing around with my red shoes*

Oh! i also just trimmed my mane again at shinji matsuo.... so so la..:( i never like trimming my mane :(

Being Sick
Being sick is no fun. When you are sick, you cannot do what you are donig well. In my case for instance, I am suffering in lab mugging my thesis. And i cant even SUFFER properly now, thanks for my flu. I cant bang my head on the wall properly, I cant pluck out my hair strand by strand properly, I cant even curse and swear at my project and results properly. So being sick is no fun. It takes out the joy in being tortured by your thesis.

I IS SICK!
*Sniff Snifff*
ARggggggg!!!!!
>_<
First a sore throat, then today, or more like mid of last night, a horrible runaway nose and cough. The week before NEW YEAR!!!! ARgggG!!!!!! It always seem to happen at this period. Its like some predestined prank that has been cast upon me at the period before the Lunar new year!
Its a curse i tell you! I am almost certain, that those whom i have visited during the previous new years had come together to place a curse on me, just because i have cleared out all their BA4 GUA1 everytime i visit them. I mean WHAT IS THIS?? Wheres the spirit of giving here? Even if i dont finish them, it would grow moldy after a while and they would have to waste it into the trash. I am actually doing them a favor. Sigh, unappreciative bunch of people... sigh. What has the world become.
*Cough cough*

Death Test
A friend of mine sent me this site, and i just couldnt resist but to find out. When i would DIE!! >_<
When are YOU going to die
And according to their research, i am going to DIE
in 2057
at the age of 80 yrs old
caused by heart attack
and i have only
19090 days more to live.
i have already lived 35% of my life.
Gasp!!
Sigh... life is short.

A taste of FREEDOM!
Last weekend, was the FIRST weekend in the past 4 month that i have enjoyed, NOT coming to lab. gasp!!!! >_<
I almost forgot freedom tasted so GOOD!!!! But also not to mention tiring. Slept only 5 hours everynight for the pass 3 nights :( Sat was two of my friends birthday and my granddad's too. 4 hours of screaming in ktv gasping for air after every sentense of Wang Li Hong's "WeiYi" and i ended up being condamned back to singing Soo Yong Kang songs. :( Had to leave in the mids of dinner and heated gossips with my friends to rush over to my granddad's. Only to be greeted with suaning of the news that my younger cousin has already found a pretty girlfriend, and i am still condamned with my singlehood. >_<
Thats saturday. Sunday was even MORE tiring. Woke up at 7 with only 4+ hours of sleep to rush down to NYP to help out in the youth tournament. And last minute kanna arrowed to be court masters as the previous court master has been dragged to be a judge(even more tiring job). Haha. The whole tournament lasted till about 5... dead tired!!! >_< Never knew helping out in a tournament can sometimes be MORE tiring then participating in one. But the tournament was generally well run. Cos it was Smooth. No major kok-ups. GOOD! well done! :) Then i was jio-ed to go maxwell that area for xiao long bao dinner. Friends picked me up as i was too tired to drive down after the tournament. But actually, the suei3 jiao3 and guo1 tie4 was much better than the xiao long bao actually. Hmm.. maybe i dont really like xiao long baos bah. bah bah bah..... i keep saying BAH recently.. turning into a sheep liao. >_<
Sigh.. ok, now its BACK to work! :(
Here we go again!
Same old thing again!
Up and down this avenue!
Dont know how long then i'll be through. -_-
I almost forgot freedom tasted so GOOD!!!! But also not to mention tiring. Slept only 5 hours everynight for the pass 3 nights :( Sat was two of my friends birthday and my granddad's too. 4 hours of screaming in ktv gasping for air after every sentense of Wang Li Hong's "WeiYi" and i ended up being condamned back to singing Soo Yong Kang songs. :( Had to leave in the mids of dinner and heated gossips with my friends to rush over to my granddad's. Only to be greeted with suaning of the news that my younger cousin has already found a pretty girlfriend, and i am still condamned with my singlehood. >_<

Honorary PhD
Honorary PhD for sultan of brunei.
What IS Honorary? Simply put it, its a free PhD universities BEG you to take so they can associate you with their univesity, no?
But honestly, i cant care less. I wanna do my work!!! -_-
Oh, helped my sis move shop till 1am in the morning! SHACK! dead tired man!!! We made a grand total of 6 trip to and fro the old an dnew shop. And i was in the loading and unloading party all 6 trips!!! gasp!!! its amazing i didnt ache all over today.
It gest better! Got to come office this morning early becos of the Honarary PhD thingy. Although the reception was so-so, but the jazz band was great. There is this female vocal, her voice is Wow! Words fail me. (although it usually does), but this time, it fails me more. Her voice is wonderfully charming. The kind that can sweep u off your feet man! Too bad she only did 3 numbers. One of them was Nora Jone's "Dont know why". NICE!!!!
I'm in love man! Haha...

I lost......to myself
I went for the selection today. I went there without expectation, just to see where i am. When we did a round-robin (means A fights B, B fights C and C fights A), i did quite well i suppose. Well not as in i beat my opponents, but more of i did good. I actually felt i improved. So i was relatively happy of my improvement and didnt think much of the selection results, until. Until i was called for another round-robin, meaning i ACTUALLY have a chance to get into the team. Cos they are actually giving me a second chance to consider me and 3 other guys. Which later i found out, they would be picking 2 out of these 4. But thats where the sad part comes.
I did not do my best. I was too anxious, i paniced (MORE then the first Round-Robin) and worried about my physical fitness( thanks to 4 months of no exercise). Thus, i begin to try to conserve my energy, and started losing spirit, focus, alertness and aggressiveness in my movements. Basically i did bad. Sigh.. the first move and i BLOCKED! WAT KINDA CRAP was THAT?!
I wont say i am not disappointed about not being picked (although i think it could have been a good thing actually, cos i wont have been confident about my standards at the point in time) But i was WAY WAY more pissed with my inability of staying focused, remain calm and maintain my aggressiveness. Sigh... just one of those things i feel like banging my head on the wall for....
Didnt progress too much for my thesis too. Had a spliting headache ever since i returned to my lab after the selection. >_<

Monday Pain
Was sooooooo tired today. Luckily the headaches gone. But i only managed to climb out of bed at noon. Maybe its the too many late nights or the over-exertion for my first training yesterday in months, or the lack of exercise, or all of the above. But i feel sooo crappy today. Body aching all over, well, basically not feeling very well la. Arg....
Think i can finally finish redo-ing the last few of my experiments that was left undone yesterday.
Looking at a kino card calender while waiting for the bus to come to my office, i realised that i only have 3 more weeks (including this wk) before the lunar new year. I MUST get my thesis done by then. MUST MUST MUST! My life seem to have only been going downhill ever since i graduated. Maybe finally leaving school and finding a job will help me find more purpose in my life. Maybe not. But anything is better then being stuck here to pay to work for them! >_< Elk!
the breeze that sends ripples across still water, sways the trees, and rustle the leaves feels ever so carefree and comforting.

After testing the first 2 specimens (present time, 1145pm), the results are once again, INCONSISTANT!!!! WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
>_<
AAaaarrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggggggggg......
RUBBISH RESULTS!!!!!!!

Photo-less
Will be posting photos less frequently nowadays. Cos of 2 main reasons.
1st!
I need to do WORK!!! so i try not to log on to the net while i am working in the office unless completely necessary. And also, of the Virus scare lately, so I have decided to keep my computer safe for now.
2nd!
My laptop at home doesnt have HELLO, so can't post up photos on my blog.
There you have it. See my determination in wanting to complete my stuff fast?! >_<
Fighto!!!!! Fighto!!!!

Busy Busy Bee
A busy day today is.
Fresh at work at 845 and started working at 9 Sharp!
Decided I shall have to redo some of my experients because there are some gaps in the range of data i've got. Rather get it done then alwyas worrying about how i am going to find a way aropund it. Think it should max take 2 day i hope. Hope it will work.
At least this way, i feel as though i am doing SOMETHING.
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!! Today must cover as much as possible! ARRRGGG!!!!
KILL! KILL! KILL!!!!
Oh ya, a friend of mine did some checking on the free anti-virus product i mentioned in the previous post, and it turned out that its true that there are no free lunches. Seems to be that one of the major flaw of this freeware is that it "Slows down your computer considerably", as i quote from an online review website. So, I have decided to remove it after i used it to clear up all the viruses.

A new HOPE
Yes! This is when Obi wan finds luke. And i found this software recommended by a friend which detects viruses like trojan and worms more effectively then the other software which wasnt able to detect anything. After running it on my desktop, it detected 20 infected files (mainly trojan downloader, which most probably is the XXX which keeps secretly loading viruses into my desktop all the time). And best of all, its FREE!

Round 2
Ting Ting Ting! Round 2! Fight!
Yesh, its round two with me vs the virus and computer system instability again. Still struggling to repair the problem. All i need now is for the windows professional 2000 cd from my friend and hopefully it will do the trick. But for now, i think i will just try my luck and continue analysing my data. Hope it doesnt aggravate any instability in my windows.
Hmm, since its sunday and all the canteens are closed, maybe i will go down to Macs to try their new burger and curly fries... something to look forward to at least... sad huh. looking forward to macdonals. haha..... :(
And i had the most wonderful dream last night. Cant remember much about it though... but it was good. :)
OK! back to WORK!!! Recharged!!! Vrooom VROOOmm!!!!

Destiny or Fate is utter rubbish.
Although we are all born different,
But with shear determination and perseverance,
We can overcome ANY fate.

Lazy Blogger
Blogging is like training. Once you have stopped for a while, you just are lazy to start it again. Says a lot about human being doesnt it. Plain lazy creatures. Buming around is our nature. We live to bum. And as for people like us in this tiny island, theres a better word that brings out the flavour in bumming, its called NUAR3. Ahhh.... how good it feels to nuar. How deprived am i of nuaring.
Nuaring is good.

Happy New Year 2005!!!
Happy New Year!!!!
Ok, it was the new year yesterday, but I didnt come to lab *Sshhhh*
New Years eve wasnt exactly exciting. Watched a movie, had a bbq, and acted as a driver.
New years day was slightly better, waking up at 1pm :) Ahhh....(but slept at 6am ok!) steamboat branch with family before going KTV with friends(havent been to ktv for a long long time). Dragged my friends to the airport for dinner.
And finally send my sensei off. He is going back to japan, but a few months or for good, its still not known. Hope he gets his 8th Dan. He has been such a great sensei, fatherly, kind, friendly, and jovial. He always focuses on the basics, and its something we should always look back to no matter at what level we are in things.
So today, I am BACK IN OFFICE! working... sad... but meeting some friends for dinner again to celebrate a friend's birthday. Rice table for dinner! yummy! But ex la! oh man... broke broke......BROKEN. T_T
