Exam Typhoon

Exams are here again...

Swift and furious like the hurricane...

 

...

I've been slacking for too long now...



WAY TOO LONG...





ZZZ...

...

One more month left only...

This is really what you call "静静悄悄默默到来, 陷入了危险边缘"

And you can feel the dark clouds hovering over our heads... (黑云在降落)

...

...

Everything is happening so fast...

...

TIME TO START MUGGING OR DIE!!!

---

它像一阵风, 吹完它就走
这样的节奏, 谁都无可奈何
它到来以后, 我灵魂失控
黑云在降落, 我被它拖着走

静静悄悄默默到来
陷入了危险边缘 Baby~
我的世界已狂风暴雨

考试来的太快, 就像龙卷风
离不开暴风圈, 来不及逃
我不能再SLACK, 我不能再SLACK
我不, 我不, 我不能

考试来的太快, 就像龙卷风
不能承受, 我已无处可躲
我不要再SLACK, 我不要再SLACK
我不, 我不, 我不要再SLACK了

(我不要再拿, 我不要再拿
我不, 我不, 我不要再拿C)

不知不觉, 假期已离开我
不知不觉, 我跟了这节奏
后知后觉, 又过了一个秋
后知后觉, 我该好好念书

Y2S2, Week 10 In Review

Woo!

Anyway..

I shall first thank Mr YP for being my FIRST guest of honour for having the guts to sit in the car of someone driving for the first time after passing. (even though lot of bad comments)

Then. I'll thank my 2nd bro for being my "V-Com" for my first ever "express-way trip".

And finally,

I'll thank the heavens for successfully completing my first "journey to the west", alone. I still can't believe I manage to make it there and back unscathed with my crappy driving skills.



LOL.

But it was good experience I guess.

其实我一直以来就不喜欢“洋葱”。。。不过上过这堂课后发现词真的写得很好。。。

可能是我不是很喜欢歌手的关系吧。。。

不过“说谎”绝对是最棒的。

Oh yeah. I finally decided to take FYP because, Hey! Did I forgot that I can always start it early? It's not like I have anything to do during the hoildays anyway.

Got the choice I wanted.

Hmm... I guess it's something that I'll be interested to do.

SHERO

Oops, I'm Late.

The 12th Album almost here (3 more days).

Let me give you a list of all the "high songs" in their discography:



Superstar (Year 2003)

痛快 (Year 2004)

星光 (Year 2005)





...

That's it.

And there's been nothing for 5 years.





...




Now, we finally have a true successor to the "Superstar Era".

Mahjong Sunset

打完了这一圈, 忧伤并没有好一些
开牌后发现真的烂得可怜, 有做十三幺的感觉

打不完一整夜, 疲倦还剩下黑眼圈
麻将的世界伤害在所难免, 满台再美被人胡先

依然记得从你口中说出"胡了”坚决如铁　
昏暗中有种烈日灼身的错觉
抽屉(ti)里我的钱, 它跟我说离别, 让我伤心欲绝


依然记得你的动物多到可以开动物园
混乱中有种热泪烧伤的错觉
无情的大三元, 割断幸福喜悦, 一切已经幻灭

Net Centric Computing



SERIOUSLY.

This image has been DEEPLY ENGRAVED into my mind.

I spent HOURS AND HOURS trying to figure how, WHY IT CANNOT DETECT THE FILE, what did I do wrongly with the configuration.

When in reality, this error occurs as a result of something as simple as a SYNTAX error in the code.

WHAT THE ****!

This is UNFORGIVABLE. THIS IS MADNESS. THIS IS BLASPHEMY!

Seriously.

If it's a syntax error, then ****ING TELL ME it's Syntax Error.

NOT TELL ME THAT I HAVE TO "CONTACT THE SERVER ADMINSTRATOR" due to some "INTERNAL SERVER ERROR".

God Damn It!

@#$@#^%$^!@!

现代中文歌词导读

Life is a dream.

A Moth Dream

“飞蛾扑火”





The moth must have lost his mind.

He knows he's doing things that will eventually lead to pain & self destruction.

Yet, he still can't stop himself from doing it.





He knows.

He knows the consequences.

And he needs to wake up now.






不知周之梦为蝴蝶与？蝴蝶之梦为周与？





"The image of a moth flying toward the singeing tongues of flames is the foundation for its use to symbolize self-destruction. Few people realize, however, that this seemingly unwarranted suicide (which also gives rise to the moth as a symbol of insanity) is not an act of foolish recklessness by the moth. The "magnetic" attraction of the fire or of a light source is related to a built-in malfunction in the moth's navigational system."

FYP or IA?

I'm at yet another crossroad in my life...

FYP First

1) Please take note that each FYP spans 2 semesters and the vacation break in between. You are expected to work full time on the FYP during the vacation, especially when the progress of your FYP is deemed to be slow or unsatisfactory. For students starting FYPs in August, you are advised (though not mandatory) to start working on your FYP right from July since the December break between the 2 semesters is very short.  This could be an important factor of your FYP grade, or even a pass or fail situation for some.


2) I seriously have no idea what to pick out of the hundreds of FYPs available. I couldn't even pick 3, let alone 15.


3) No idea in mind what to take for Year 4 Modules... -.- 

* To be fair, it's not like Point 2 or 3 will be solved if I take IA first.



IA First

1) If I pick IA first, I'll be "all alone" during the last semester... :(


2) Registration starts AFTER FYP registration ends. So it's a very big unknown also. Can't even see the list of companies.


3) Cultivate interest by doing IA first?

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

FED UP!

烦啊！！！

最近比较烦, 比较烦, 比较烦
总觉得读的东西是越来越难
我想我还是不习惯
从每天放假再回到课堂

最近比较烦, 比较烦, 比较烦
总觉得A+一个比一个难赚
老师常常有意无意刁难
我想我很快就会上，头版

最近比较烦, 比较烦, 比较烦
我看那前方怎么也看不到岸
那个后面还有一班天才追赶, 哎呦
选ＦＹＰ还是做ＩＡ，是左右为难

(Wah this is a very good & easy song to "Kuso"...)

Being Human

I realized I haven't watch a Comedy in ages.

Yeah, and this was a good chance to laugh my head off.

And what's better than a new Jack Neo movie.



The storyline is mediocore, cliche and reused dunno how many upteen number of times in previous Jack Neo movies ("Tu Ran Fa Cai" comes to mind). There no big budget or superstars either.

But who cares.

It is still darn hilarious and I really had a good laugh. A much needed good laugh.

A lot of awesome humor, off the top of my head:

- "Sorry Sorry" dance,
- "DA DA VIN XIAO VOO" (Resued the "Flower Powder" idea from Money No Enough 2)
- Singing segment between Mark Lee and NoNo. I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire thing.

Another part was near the "First Ending" of the story. I already know it's not gonna end there, but the way they present it really caught me off guard.

They kind of overdid it though. Ending at the "Second Ending" would have been great, but they have to extend it to the "Third Ending". Way too overkill.

Really nice movie overall, and the cinema was filled with laughter.

Might be Jack Neo's last.

LOL.

Go watch it!!!

Solitude + Loneliness

孤             寂

Random Story

在世界的某一个地方，一群人将举行一个庆典，庆祝一个朋友的重要日子。

于是他们托你为这个日子准备一份礼物。

你走了好久好久，花了好长的时间， 最后终于选了一份希望他们满意的。

你很高兴的把这份礼物送出去了。
























而结果是。

结果是你没有被邀请。



没有人记得这份礼物是你送的。

众人把礼物都给分了。

什么都没有剩下。

没有人会记得要留下什么给你。

更可笑的是。

你连一声谢谢也没有得到。

什么都没有。










这也许就是 “全世界都停电” 的感觉吧。。。

My Mickey Mouse

I am becoming more and more like someone I know.

I always reprove his behaviour.

Yet. I am "inheriting" this very behaviour that I disapprove.

It ignites very easily, and it's very unstable.

Haiz...

I don't know what's wrong.

以为我爱著孤独, 以为自己不会迷路
以为自己跟自己, 再不用谁照顾
以为我爱著孤独, 却又崩溃的无助
谁能让我拥抱著尽情的哭

Life Is A Process

If you haven't seen this movie, you ought to watch it.

This definitely top the list of most meaningful and touching Chinese film I've seen.

(Saw it for the first time on TV a while back)

"生命是一个过程。可悲的是它不能够重来。可喜的是它也不需要重来。" -童梦奇缘



My favourite quote from the movie.





We've all done (or didn't do) things that made us regretful later on in life.

Like me.

Sometimes, I really wished I could turn back time & start all over again.

I wonder how it'll be like if I did this or didn't do that.

...

But then again,

Perhaps it's a blessing that I can't start it all over.






There's always 2 sides to everything.

Think about it.

Guys always complain they regretted wasting their 2 years of NS.

Well, let's say there's a chance turn back time, do you REALLY want to go through that 2 years again?

Haha.

I don't think, LOL.






Basically, what it is trying to convey is this.

What happened in the past is already over.

You can lament all the wrongs you did, but the sad truth is that you can't turn back time.

...

Instead, cherish what you have now.

Like what's is said in the movie, "Now is never too late".






Life is a difficult process.


Be thankful you only have to live through it once.

Exhaustion...

Just came back from a "3 Days 2 Nights Tekong (Mental) Camp"...

ZZZ...

Anyway...





I know of many people who're troubled.

We are all very tired.





Me too.

I have load of things on my mind sometimes...

Things that couldn't be spell out.

I'm also seeking the cause, the reason, the purpose of everything I'm doing...



If you're not feeling too happy right now, you're not the only one.

(Not a very well known song by Emil, but I think the lyrics are extremely well written.)


我知道满足的, 快乐的, 完美的, 依恋的事情都难以长久
告诉我是不是每个人都看不透, 谁能够

Alpha Game

Rules

Let's play a game. In this game, there are several wallets in front of you. Each wallet contains bills of differing values. You have to pick one wallet to hand to your enemy. Your enemy, in turn, has to pick one of that wallet's bills to hand back to you.

Strategy

Your enemy will always hand you the smallest bill that she can, so you should hand her the wallet with the largest smallest bill. In fact, to you, each wallet is worth only as much as its smallest bill. The question is: to find the wallet with the largest smallest bill, do you have to look through every wallet, at every single bill?

The answer is: no. Look at each of the first wallet's bills. Remember the value of the smallest bill - call this value alpha. Alpha represents the value of the largest smallest bill that you've seen so far. Put the first wallet in your pocket.

Start looking through the second wallet. If you see a bill valued less than alpha: immediately throw that second wallet in the trash. Otherwise: throw the first wallet in the trash, set alpha to the value of the second wallet's smallest bill, and put the second wallet in your pocket. Repeat this paragraph for each remaining wallet.

At the end of this process, the best wallet is in your pocket and the rest of the wallets are in the trash. Take the wallet out of your pocket and hand it to your enemy. Be sure that she'll hand the bill valued alpha back to you.

After wrecking my brains for HOURS and HOURS, I was finally ENLIGHTENED by these few simple paragraphs! Hold My Dog!
