Kenny's 19th Birthday!
Participants: Kenny, Geraint, Leon, Karl, Edmund, Wei Long, Nigel, Samuel and myself...
Main event was playing Pictionary!
Kenny is just godly at the game -_-... He got like nearly 20 cards out of the 50 initial questions I think.
Geraint came in 2nd at like around 10. And I only got like 3 or 4... Haha.
Then Edmund kept saying I sucks at guessing...
What the hell lah... the questions itself are bias towards them loh. Some of it are totally irrelevant to me already, like recent term which doesn't exists during my time.
And I have no idea why they kept shouting "Serah Palin" for every single question, and Dominic "XXX Big Boobs". LOL.
Had lots of fun though... kept yelling till I almost lost my voice... Must really applaud them for coming up with such hilarious themes.
We played for hours I think, until we ran out of the questions. Then Karl volunteered to set the question, but most of them are extremely predictable... haha.
You just have to think about what he usually says, and he's still saying the same things. I remembered one when the drawer has barely even started to draw, and I just shout randomly "SARAVANANA~~~"
And THAT WAS THE CORRECT ANSWER!!!
ROFL!
That was freaking lame.
Haha
Anyway...
I only took a couple of clips, and some of them just can't be shown... LOL. It's just way too over already... (May get them into trouble. Haha.)
After filtering a bit, I'm just left with these 2...
Pictionary (Obama)
Pictionary (Deepavali)
Went to a Italian restaurant (I think) for dinner...
When we were ordering food, Mr Maths Professor Seow started doing all the "Pi R Square" stuffs... and calculating the area and circumference of each pizza size to see which one is more worth it...
-_-
Totally stun lah... Just when I thought no more Maths... I don't know what the waitress would think if she realized why we're taking so long to order. We're trying to calculating whether the area of a 21 inch pizza is bigger than 2 12 inch pizza or something, and then dividing by the cost etc to see which one is of better value... -_-
Geez... buay tahan...
Anyway, we decided to order the largest one to share...
And man...
It was humongous!
Yun Zhen joined us halfway through the dinner and just spam chicken wings...
Birthday Song
After the celebration, went back to Geraint house to relax...
And got to know a little more "insider" info...
Anyway... just hang around play more games.
Many thanks to Nigel for sending us home.

iPersonic Personality Test
1 of the Most Accurate Personality Test Ever
You've probably taken hundreds of personality tests in your life.
But this one I'm going to introduce you is likely to be one of the most accurate ever.
It classifies everyone into 1 of the 16 main personality, which I found to be highly accurate.
Everyone I have share this so far acknowledge how accurate it is as well!
So... here goes!
Tell me what you think!
Post it up if you have a blog!

Quarantine (2008)
Quarantine
Gosh... watched another dumb-ass movie today. Really felt like wasted money. Spoilers below...
...
First, the plot.
Well.
Frankly speaking, I can't even say anything about it.
You know why?
Cause there is NO PLOT in this story.
Well, almost none.
Basically, a group of people got trapped inside a building. And at the end, all of them died.
Yes.
When I said all, I do mean ALL.
Including the main character herself.
That's the entire plot.
There is no twist, no character development, no greater conspiracy involved, no nothing.
Just a movie about every single person dying off 1 by 1 (or sometimes in larger quantities). There's no resolution to the story either.
...
I'll give the movie some credits for making use of the "camera man" as a character in the movie. So basically you're like watching through the DV Recorder of the main character in the story. (There's a term for this technique but I forgotten what it's called.)
There are pros and cons of course. The good thing is it feels much more "real", almost like you're seeing from the characters perspective. And some parts can be quite chilling (especially the last 15 minutes or so)
The bad thing about this is at certain times, it can get REAL annoying with all the zooming in and out, blurring, shaky cameras... Just picture what a person escaping from zombies will film... -_-
Still, I can't recall when was the last time I saw something filmed from such interesting perspective. So it kind of refreshing for me.
Other than that... not much to say about this horror flick...
Not really scary except for certain portions here and there (especially towards the ending). Some portion can really get on your nerves though... kind of gory.
That's about it.
This film receives almost zero (for plot) from me for its almost non-existence plot - No explanation on how they resolve the whole matter, no mention of what's with all those virus articles, no mention of who made and developed the virus. Nothing.
Still, the presentation aren't too bad and it "serves its purpose as a horror movie."
Rating: 2.0 / 5 (Guess What? The scene on the poster is the LAST scene in the movie.)

Went to have a run after that. Tried to jio some people out, but all sibeh attitude lot of excuses. Even SK, the "Mr Muscle" guy... yesterday ask him on MSN, say what "anything".
Then morning ask him go, say what after rain the floor wet... What the hell loh...
In the end nevermind... go run myself...
As expected, my physical fitness have deteriorate to beyond comprehension... -_-
How the hell did I manage to run 10KM back in the Kindergarten?
Jeez...

Mad TV
Recently, I'm hooked to a series of Comedy Skits by a channel known as "MadTV".
Absolutely hilarious...
Sharing some of the best I've seen...
The New IPad - Imagine if such product really exists...
Hooked on Phonics - This might actually be a true story...
Mac Fat Ass - Who are the fattest people in the world?
Sex Face - Get The Mirror!
Oral Sex - This is absolutely hilarious and the ending is just GOLD!

Exams Are Over!!!
Ahhh...
What's more infuriating than seeing an exam question you can't do?
Well...
It's "not doing a question you know how to do correctly"...
...
...
...
Haizz...
...
Forget it.
No use mulling over the past...
......
The exam "atmosphere" lasted nearly a month! (From end of October to now)
That's like the longest exam period ever. (Since maybe O levels)
And now, it's time for the BIG REWARD!!!
...
1 freaking month of holy days!
WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!
...
...
Frankly speaking, I am so so so worn out from this semester.
I'm really drained of my energy. Mentally (Brain dead), Physically (Sleeping at 2 and waking up at 7), Emotionally (So many things happened...) and even spiritually (My Spirit is dying...)
...
So I'm really really tired. I haven't had a good rest in a long long time.
Come to think of it, I was "thrown" into SCE almost right after I left the Kindergarten.
So theoretically speaking, the last time I had a break more than a month long was more than 2 years ago!
:(
... ...
I got lot of things to update. Lot of things to write about. Lots of things to decide on. Lots of things to clear up.
Nearly 1 whole month of nightmare...
And...
This is another dumb picture I found when I was "clearing the thrash"...
Thanks, Ben.

Exams = Buy 4D
Sometimes, I think sitting for exams is a lot like buying 4D/Gambling.
A lot depends on how lucky you are at hitting the "jackpot"...
Like example...
2 hours before the Maths exam, someone asked "how to find the inverse of a 3 by 3 matrix?"
And I told him, "Aiyah! At most ask 2 by 2 only, won't ask 3 by 3 one lah!"
...
And guessed what?
Come out question "Find the inverse of 4 by 4 matrix."
...
KNSOMGWTF#$%#$%^!@#^!
... ... ...
...
...
Today, same thing happened again.
Group of us were like discussing the formulas for calculating the One Shot pulse time. And I said, "This one confirm won't ask de lah... Never appeared before in the past year paper."
...
And TADA!
Really come out!
...
-_-
Of course, there are also times when you get really lucky and strike the big prize (Like a 12 marks question which is exactly the same as what you've practiced many times)...
...
The elites have the largest amount of capital. They can place their bets on every possible combination of numbers and win the game.
For "commoners" like me, we just have to place what little money we have carefully...
...
Yep, This is about probability...
It is just like what Dr Woo said.
"If you're lucky and just happen to write the correct answer down, you will still get full marks even if you don't know how to do. This is probability."
...
...
Anyway...
Final stretch in this marathon...
This has been going on for way too long now.
...
I can't wait for this to end.

"A" Goodbye...
BABY 不要再哭泣
这个 TEST 你又拿C
紧握着你的手说下个 TEST 再努力
每一次想放弃
但不如坚持到底
下一个 TEST 我一定好好的从头努力。。。
要读书还是打 GAME
总是时在我心交叉
挫折的眼泪不能测试 C 的重量
做过的 TEST 收不回
还没 TEST 的 A 不能给
别把我 B 也带走去跟随
*Chorus*
这一次我很努力, 可是还是拿了个 C
每一次看到全部的 C, 痛苦难以释怀
每一次和 A 分开, 每一次 Kiss A Goodbye
痛苦的滋味此刻我终于最明白
The most difficult paper of my life...
Today, I sat for my first major examination paper in 3 years...
...
And I am deeply traumatized.
I CANNOT recall any other paper I've taken at any point in my life that is ANYWHERE close to the difficulty of this one.
For normal exam papers, I'll probably ask myself, "How well did I do?"
For the more difficult ones, I'll ask, "I wonder if I can pass..."
And this?!
This ONE!
THIS!!!
I ask myself, "How badly will I fail?"
When I first received the paper, all I could do was to "skip, skip and skip". When I finally find one I am confident of doing, It turned out to be much harder than I thought!
And It doesn't help when you see the time keeps ticking away... and half of the paper is still untouched.
When I "completed" the paper, I look around and all I see are people shaking their heads. As I walked out of the exam hall, all I can hear are people complaining how tough the paper is. Nearly everyone I know claimed they couldn't do the paper.
And so I was surfing around the Hardware Zone student forums... and even there I see threads and posts complaining about this deadly paper...
"today cpe103 paper may marks my end of uni life ,a time where i felt so 'helpless' in maths paper"
"CPE103/CSC103 module exam is damn hard. anyone is confidence obtaining grade A or B for this?"
"i'm confident of getting a "Distinction" or even da bao it.." (Reply to above)
"just cleared my first paper this afternoon, CSC103. All of us kena pawn deep deep.. "
"damn..1st.paper.gone.case.lez...flunk!!"
Haiz...
All I can say is, I already did my BEST. I knew I wasn't very good in Maths.
So I turned away all invitations (A.L.L, ALL) and spent days and days coping myself at home, doing MATHS, MATHS AND MORE MATHS.
Not say I never practice. Past year paper (and I mean the whole stack) do also do liao. Tutorial questions + Drill questions do until almost can memorize the question liao...
...
AND WHAT?!
WHAT GOOD DID IT DO?
...
...
NOTHING!!!
The questions that came out are OUT OF THE WORLD.
Where are the type of questions that I SPENT DAYS AND DAYS PRACTICING?!
Where is my BAYES THEOREM?!
It came out EVERY SINGLE YEAR and It didn't came out this year.
Where is the DAMN HOSPITAL RULE?
BARELY appeared.
Where is my FAVOURITE BINOMIAL DISTRIBUTION?
Not even a single question on it.
NOPE.
NOTHING.
Instead, what you get are NEVER SEEN BEFORE questions that are totally out of your league. The past year paper questions seems like PEANUTS compared to the questions in this paper.
...
...
You would expect there to be some "give-away" questions.
But NO.
Every SINGLE QUESTION is OUT FOR YOUR LIFE.
...
Even the simplest statistic question requires you to spent a ridiculous amount of time to work out the solution. That is bullshit, considering you only have 2 hours. (and if you calculate it, you got like 5 minutes for a single question)
And I thought the ball question would be easy. But no, it is a "different kind of ball"... that makes you catch no ball...
Ok nevermind not funny.
...
...
...
Bottomline...
...
Really GG this time -_-
Tio Pwn + Tio Own...
Really is up lorry...
...
...
Now all I can look forward to is getting owned a second time by Logic.
Hahahahahaha...
WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHHAA....

Thoughts Recognition?!
You got to watch this because it is just so freaking amazing...
This is what I call, "You have to see it to believe it."
...
Voice recognition is nothing new.
Face recognition is nothing new.
...
How about "Thoughts Recognition?
...
Watch CBS Videos Online
"In the clip, see how a completely paralyzed man, who could otherwise only communicate by moving his eyes, uses his mind to type out thoughts on a computer screen. Of course, the process is very slow going—each letter takes up to 20 seconds to type. When the letter he was thinking of highlighted, he'd think "that's it!" and that signal of recognition would type the letter on-screen." (LifeHacker.com)
I laughed at the portion where the monkey moves the mechanical arm. It's incredible! (And cute!)
Of course this technology is still very new, but imagine what the future could hold...
"This is the seed of my most-wanted, dream computer interface, one that doesn't involve pecking at keys. Imagine a day when, like speech recognition, thought recognition becomes possible, and you can narrate your thoughts to your computer or handheld device."
...
Maybe one day, there'll be a computer game that will be played ENTIRELY using Thoughts Recognition!
Imagine how CRAZY that would be!
!!!
How about a Grand Theft Auto played using Thoughts Recognition?!
"Change to bazooka!"
"Blow that car up!"
Ewwww...
...
I can't imagine what the world would be like if something like this really happens...
Technology/Computers are so amazing.
And I'm so glad to be studying them~
This is what I call, "You have to see it to believe it."
...
Voice recognition is nothing new.
Face recognition is nothing new.
...
How about "Thoughts Recognition?
...
Watch CBS Videos Online
"In the clip, see how a completely paralyzed man, who could otherwise only communicate by moving his eyes, uses his mind to type out thoughts on a computer screen. Of course, the process is very slow going—each letter takes up to 20 seconds to type. When the letter he was thinking of highlighted, he'd think "that's it!" and that signal of recognition would type the letter on-screen." (LifeHacker.com)
I laughed at the portion where the monkey moves the mechanical arm. It's incredible! (And cute!)
Of course this technology is still very new, but imagine what the future could hold...
"This is the seed of my most-wanted, dream computer interface, one that doesn't involve pecking at keys. Imagine a day when, like speech recognition, thought recognition becomes possible, and you can narrate your thoughts to your computer or handheld device."
...
Maybe one day, there'll be a computer game that will be played ENTIRELY using Thoughts Recognition!
Imagine how CRAZY that would be!
!!!
How about a Grand Theft Auto played using Thoughts Recognition?!
"Change to bazooka!"
"Blow that car up!"
Ewwww...

21 + Tropic Thunder + The Reaping
21 The movie (2008)
This movie caught my attention quite some time back (at the beginning of the semester) when we were doing something called the "Monty Hall" paradox in the Maths class. (Which made an appearance in this movie)
I didn't had the chance to watch it till a few day ago. And man, this is an awesome movie~
Then again, how much you'll like this film will probably depends on how interested you are in Blackjack/Gambling, haha~
For me, I enjoyed it a lot.
The Plot: A group of genius students developed a way to "beat the Blackjack system" using a method known as "counting cards". Initially, the main character only wanted to earn enough to pay his school fees, but alas! Greed is evil and he got carried away...
The sad part came when he lost everything overnight. He was so obsessed with his new "career" that he gave up his studies, lost his friends, etc... He was betrayed by someone (twist) and he was powerless to do anything against the him without any evidence... He made one final offer which led to the finale of the movie.
In spite of several twists, I think the best part of this movie is the ending. I think it has got 1 of the best ending I've seen in a while. It's like seeing the whole film comes 1 full circle. It's a happy ending, but not in a way I expected.
Now I'm really tempted to learn card counting... Haha. They are quite a number of youtube videos on it, some even by the MIT lecturers themselves... hmm... maybe it's time to start preparing for the opening of the "Integrated Resort"... Heh...
Rating: 3.5/5
(Blackjack rules, and this movie make it rules even more~)

Tropic Thunder
Caught this at the cinemas a few weeks back...
This movie is really "shocking". They tried to make it "hilariously-gory" by making scenes such as blood "spurting" out of heads like a fountain, people head being blown off and guys leakingthe blood...
Kind of like...erm...Happy Tree Friends?
I don't find it funny at all really. And I really don't get most of those "dialogue jokes". Maybe cause I don't watch a lot of other movies, but maybe my English is cannot make it.
The best part I think was when Ben (the main character) told Jack, "I have affinity with them. He is my son." (something like that) and he ran back to the village.
Then the next moment showed him running back, the kid clinging onto him, stabbing him with a knife. That part IS REALLY hilarious.
Anyway...
For me, this movie was good at the start for about 30 minutes (Until their first attack in the jungle). Then it gets really boring and doesn't really pick up again until the very end.
Rating: 2.5/5
(A movie about a fake movie. Duh!)
A 2007 film I watched on DVD at Rant's house.
...
And it's horrible.
Plot: The main character is a person that doesn't believe in God/Satan. Her job is to solve all the supernatural cases using scientific explanations. And so, she's led to this village where crazy things happen. Everyone in the village wants to kill a girl because they believe that she's the devil. The girl brings about the 10 plagues to the entire village, and only the main character can kill her.
...
It's supposed to be horror, but it isn't even scary.
And there's a BIG TWIST.
Guess what?
It turns out that even though the girl is the one that's bringing destruction and doom to the village, she's actually the GOOD person. She is actually the Angel sent down by the gods.
Instead, the ENTIRE village are the bad guys. The villagers tried to trick the main character into killing the girl because they (being the devils) can't kill an angel.
...
...
WTF?
...
Yeah that was like the best plot twist ever.
A movie where an Angel brings destruction to an entire village of evil people.
...
...
This movie sucks.
Rating: 1.5/5
(Find me a movie with a bigger twist than this: The only evil villian in the whole film turns out to be good, and the entire good population turned out to be the evil ones.)

Result: A Romantic Poet | ||
| You know how you're kind of...you know...sensitive? There's a good reason for that. Long, long ago, you were a romantic poet - the kind that made all the ladies swoon with your sexy sonnets. Even if you're not much of a poet now, you've still got a lot of creativity brewing in your soul. And you've got a strong ability to notice details and understand other people's emotions. If you ever have writer's block or just need some creative inspiration, try to harness some of that poet power in your soul's past. |

The "Final" Week
Well... this is "technically" the final week of the semester as all the lectures are now completed. What's left over are just "bits and pieces" of tutorial and the dreaded Lab Test...
...
This is probably my happiest week of the semester~ cause everything seems to be going really well~
In The Class:
Computer Systems
Sometimes, I really think we are over "underestimating" this module...
Logic Design
I'm actually most worried about this one...
Yes, even more than Maths. From like Tutorial 6 or something onwards, I could barely do any of the questions.
During this week tutorial, Dr Chan asked, "So, which questions do you have problem with?"
And we replied, "Everything".
Guess what's her reaction?
She laughed and said, "Everything? As Usual."
...
Geez... --_--'
Yes. I just realized we haven't been able to do the tutorials for like 5 tutorials in a row.
Data Structures Programming
"Wahahaha.... those fools! Let them enjoy for the moment!
Let them laugh for now...
Wahahaha... They shall all die at Lab 9~! They shall be crushed like ants!
And I will have the last laugh...
Wahahahahahaha..." (Mentality of mysterious boss)
Discrete Maths
Definitely the main character of the week with the quiz looming like a shadow over everyone...
Luckily, my "4 hours recursion Marathon" didn't go to waste...
I think I finally understood why Dr Shi said Recursion is a fun topic!
Don't doubt it~
Recursion Rocks!
Foundation Maths
Dr Woo came back to distribute our quiz results!
Strangely... this time round, we all realized how good he is. He seems to be such a better lecturer now compared to 6 weeks ago...
I wondered why...?
...
The last lecture was incredibly entertaining. The first thing he did when I took over was to turn on the Interactive Lecture System (as expected), and you can literally see messages FLOOD in.
"Welcome back, Dr Woo!"
"You are so handsome, can you give me A please?"
"This quiz will pull down my grades!"
"Siao Liao..."
"GG.com"
"Copy and paste rocks!"
"Is the exam open book? Can I bring notebook?"
"Can I bring you to the exam hall?"
"I love you can you please give me the answers?"
"Jiam Tao FTW!"
"OMGWTF?!"
And lots and lots of funny stuff. There were even some extremely "flirtatious" messages which I think made him kinda paiseh... (He tries very hard to "overlook" them) LOL.
I was really tempted to message "Can you come back to teach us Calculus?" at that moment...
He discussed his marking scheme, went through the quiz questions with us, etc... At one point he said this...
"You can see that this quiz is purposely set that most of you can answer part A to part C. I know in this kind of environment, you all tends 'look down, look left, look right and look everywhere.' Please don't feel bad if you can't do part D. I purposely set it so that even when you "look left and look right", most of the pages will be blank."
Which made everyone burst out in laughter. Wahahaha... I think this may be the most entertaining lecture so far in school~
Anyway....
Really contented with my results. Really thought I flopped the quiz... What a huge relief when I saw the results.
