Dilemma

A year ago, I have been worrying too much on not being able to enter the workforce or gain an entry in to postgrad studies. Not that I prefer to work, but getting into phD from an undergrad position seems far out.

I took every opportunity to be more academically active and stumbled uppon a project with the defence department of australia (DSTO) at the beginning of this yr. Worked my way through in conjuction with my final yr which is -- hell on earth. Thanks to the support from my family and especially my gf who is pretty patient with me...I managed to pull thru.

Almost a yr had passed since I took up the project...now I'm graduating thinking that I can have a long deserved break with my family and frenz...and it hit me...

2 days ago, I was brought in for an interview by my supervisor...he gave me the opportunity to get a phD...however, the requirement is to start right away @.@...

All my holiday plans...gone...

Badminton 2006 WC BAO Chunlai vs LEE Chong Wei (Game3)

Badminton 2006 World Championships QF MS BAO Chunlai vs LEE Chong Wei Game3

The Purple Monster...

Lately the theme song of Barney keeps popping up in my head...dun ask me why...

I'm not a fan of Barney and I dun watch his shows *ahem* ... it's a gay show for a 21 y-o man to watch...

However, I must say the theme song is rather catchy... once it goes into ur head...it stays there forever...

Barney is prolly up to some evil plans to brainwash the kids...beware~!!




Nice isn't it...that's the 1st phase of the plan...

..
.

Now, none has seen this coming up...(WARNING! 18SG - CONTAIN COURSE LANGUAGE)




Call the media filter department~



NOTE : This post is entirely fictional...except for the 1st 2 lines which are true...well..mebbe the 1st line...coz i do watch Barney (sadly) ...

the black bong

They say a picture is worth a thousand words...well...this one goes with one...

"OUCH"

I juz luv this pic..xD

(btw no real *ahem* birdie involved)


-had a great time in JJV's party-

That's what I call...music

I like...

Month of the Hungry Ghost...

this is freaky...please look at the following pic closely...
If we invited 25 ppl...and I am taking the picture...and we dun remember inviting any orange shirt guy...man this is creepy

I'm Normal...absolutely normal

Few days ago i received some present from my friend. He wrapped the 5"x8"x1" prezzie up with 3 layers of wrapper...plastic...prez paper...and newspaper...sounds normal rite...

After peeking at the content...being the normal and lazy me...I decided to keep the newspaper wrapping only...n threw away the other 2...

normal rite??


rite?


BANG! wrong move...

I went home...happily carrying that package around...went up the bus...and the horror starts...
Being me...personally i hate ppl staring at me...prolly inferiority complex (they stare at for 2 reasons; either u r something wrong, or u have something wrong on u)...

The moment i got up the bus...everyone....i repeat...EVERYONE stares at me *EXCLAMATION MARK*

My 1st thought = Did i freed my willy and forgot to close the kopi thiam????

Too embarrasing to look at ur own...erm...thang rite?...so..decided to go with the flow (stare out the window, act as if nothing's wrong)

5 min later...i realised...could it be...that they thought i'm holding a homemade C4 explosive trying to sabotage the very foundation of human transport taking down countless souls??

I may look freaky...but i'm not k...

then some uncle in his 60s actually....ASKED me if it was an explosive of some kind...

Hahaha...
I was somehow feeling relieved...that they were not staring at other side of my world *cough*

Although...before i managed to fully answer his Qs on the content of the package...i got off the bus since i reached my destination

Moral of this real story
dun ever go in a bus with a newspaper wrapped up package...unless u seek plenty of attention...or else...

Conclusion
Who knows...I might single handedly revolutionised the security system of the public transport..

"personnel suspected of possesing explosives in the bus will be prosecuted"
haha...or something like that

Side Note
Do i look like a terrorist?...seriously...i dun even look like peeps from terrorist country...abit chinese n hindhu mebbe..xD

body+ mind+ soul

*updates*...YAY...i got my underwater robot project...interview went smoothly...SHAKE IT...dum dum dum..SHAKE IT...xD...time to shag some DSTO piece of equipment...muahaha

.....................................................................................

3rd week of Badminton competition...and I still haven't won any games. I dun know why my coach put me in state lvl anyway...I'm waaaaaaaaaaay amateur than any1 else playing...but tonite's match was good...almost there...almost...

Abit dissapointed in myself...but if that's the fact...then I shall train harder...muahaha...

Ignore those...juz muttering to myself...I'm an emo kid...hardcore emo kid

All the while...I've been doing things coz I HAD to....it's a MUST to do this and that...

but for the freaking 21 yrs of my life...finally I see the light (better late than never)...this time...I WANTed to do something for myself without being asked of...I wanted to get good marks...I wanna beat the top seeders for baddy...and more importantly I wanna change my attitude towards life...

My dad once said "If u wanted to BE something big, then start by forging ur attitude"...that's the source of inspiration...

and prolly from Russel Peters as well "Be a man...do the right thing....be a man"..haha...he's a nutcase comedian...

I hope I'm up to it for this semester..my last sem for my degree course...4 subjects+1 honours project+ phD research+ underwater robot design could turn my last 5 months into living hell...
Hoho..time to buckle up n tackle them 1 by 1...and hopefully I won't graduate in pieces...xD

24 hours is really not enough for me...how I wish I dun have to sleep... o.O ...

This time shortage affects my relationship as well...I really appreaciate my gf...she's really understanding...

and for that....I prawmeese I won't be cheeky k??
......

.

hopefully..1 day...I'll do something big...

Holiday?

Oosh...finally...exams are all over...1 more sem to go and I'm all out of uni, or am I? Haha

Life is pretty hectic even after exams, alot to read and alot more to learn. Suddenly realised that life is so short, and I dun have enough time to achieve my goals (becomign some1 famous?)

First thing first...get a good result for my exams. This task is definitely not easy...let alone getting a scholarship for my postgrad. o.O ...fantastic...

I'm Turning into a GEEK
Seriously, I used to play alot of computer games...and now...I'm reading Quantum Physics~!!...o.O thanx to my bro. xD

Not his fault actually, I kinda like QM (quantum mechanics)...at the least i think it's related to our nature, feng shui, and even the unexplained (ie Black hole, bermuda triangle)...Whoah...jzu the dosage I need to kill my curiosity.

Some interesting stuff i found out http://www.phobe.com/s_cat/s_cat.html <--check this 1 out...cool concept

Random encounter
I saw some enormous DOG today...




That lady is prolly about 180cm tall, and that dog...that dog...wow...big duffus...he'll prolly eat me for breakfast if I ever stepped on his tail...

1 step at a time

I was so happy the other day...got accepted for some badminton tournament!

I'm not good at it...and it's prolly by chance I got in...still...feels got to get acknowledged...but dunno how far I'll go with my 3-kaki-cat-kungfu (canto translation).

Now atleast I'm progressing one step at a time towards my goal. Harsh training is coming this way...hope I'll last xD

For now, back to 'dating' with my BOOKs...2 consecutive exams on this thursday...crap!

world cup vs exams~!!

ARGGH~!!...WORLD CUP VS EXAMS....damn...tough choice...

*KM mumbling to himself*
world cup
exams
world cup
exams
world cup
EXAMS~!!!!

not a good time to have world cup..such a torture...damn...anyway...i'll be done with exams before semi-final starts...hoho...not too bad...grab a few beers n crash at some1's place might b a good idea...

Anyway...lately I've been quite frustrated with my lecturer...who dun admit his stupidity...xD
he made alot of mistakes in his lecture notes n his marking sux...he cut off more marks than he shud be...here's how the conversation goes between me n him

km: sir, i believe there's a mistake in my marks

Mr B: *grab the paper..din even look at it.* ...no mistakes...

km: erm...but there's a part u cut off more marks than u shud

Mr B: that's how i mark everyone...

km: o.O *wtf* ...but i juz did it the way u taught us in the lecture...*i pull out his notes n showed him*

Mr B: hmm...*reading at his own notes trying to understand it...for 10 minutes...*

*i wonder if he really understands his own notes...*

Mr B: yeah you are right...well..i'll juz have to CHANGE the notes then...

*not even a thanx to pt out his mistakes..*

km: but my marks?...

Mr B: it stays the same...end of discussion

*he's prolly too freakin lazy to switch on his computer n change it*

normally i wouldn't have this petty quarrel over 2% marks...but coz he cancelled all the tutorials n take the whole internal marks based on the assignments...each mark weights alot...i din get good marks for those...coz of his "si suah lai" marking...damn him...i'm unlucky as well...

but ultimately, i'm stubborn, wanna jaga my pride as well lar...bloody hell..mark wrongly still wanna shoo me off...hate that guy...seriously...as lazy as a pig...i guess he really hates me...coz i went into his office almost every 2 weeks to tell him wat's wrong with his notes...man...damn idiotic...

argh...surrounded my imbecile lecturers...makes my uni life interesting..haha

well...back to studies...

second chance

A tribute to Kua Chee...weird uncle...bad uncle...crazy uncle...xD

Technical Issue

This year, I'm taking up some challenging project utilising Magneto-Rheological Fluid (MRF) to control a structure. Sounds cool huh...here's the Jizz of wat's that fluid..

That puddle of shit looking thing over there...yeah..the middle one...is the fluid...

Left shows..before the fluid is activated...and right shows after...

The MRF is behaves exactly like a cup of coffee. However, if there's a magnetic field applied through the fluid, it'll harden up (activated) in less than 10 nano seconds...

What's the use u ask?...

This fluid acts as a damper in the next generation cars (Ferrari is using that now)...to dampens out vibration by regulating magnetic field below the suspension...cool eh

The military uses this technology to make bullet proof vests...

NASA uses that for their space stations...

Nike and Reebok is looking forward in this direction...making some SmartShoe out of it...

What's with my project?

My team is currently researching on ways to implement this into any high rise building to dampens out earthquakes or tremors. Hopefully by the end of this year we show some results xD. Tough project with limited resources but fun i guess.

Wish me luck~ That concludes Part 1 of MRF

(PS: if anyone happened to be interested...hire me...hahaha)

Rule 101 on chrysanthemum

I got my mum a bouquet of chrysanthemum today...according to the florist...they r indeed for mum~....coz it rhymes...i guess...right?..right?...

WRONG~!!

I din know back in m'sia they use that for praying or something...lol...bad choice..bad choice...

Chrysanthemum

The China Astor, or chrysanthemum indicum, is a symbol of happiness and a life of ease. It is representative of autumn in the symbolism of the four seasons, along with wild plum (winter), peony (spring), and lotus (summer).

The chrysanthemum, also known as the mum, is a flowering perennial plant of the genus Chrysanthemum in the daisy family (Asteraceae).


*In OZ...the flower is meant for mum...or mothers day...

*In M'sia...the flower is used for sembahyang...

*In my dictionary...the flower is used to make tea...

Anyway..mum's still touched...i guess...coz i nv gave her flowers during mothers day b4...muahaha...

...

..

.

Though....5 minutes later...she took up her scissors to snip off the poor flowers' roots...putting them beside the altar(for sembahyang purposes)...XD

Happy Mothers day~

yay...it's an annual event...u know it...i know it...my mum knows it...somehow for an egoistic guy like me...i dun touch those hugging n kissing mum stuff around here...xD...no idea why it's like that...prolly too big for that i guess...

Well...i'm not a bad son k...tho sometimes i'm abit cookoo here n there...but overall...i think i'm doing fine (i think)...hehe...

Since this is sort of a diary..i guess it's alrite to spill mushy stuff here...

What i really wanna say is...

Mum, ur the best~!

I won't be who i am without u...

I'm really glad u r the one single soul binding all the family members together...

U deserve the title "Greatest Mum"...atleast in my heart...

Luv ya...

hmm...guess its not that bad to splurt this kinda words once in awhile...

Food for Thought

Question:
What is the truest definition ofGlobalization?

Answer:
Princess Diana's death.

Question:
How come?

Answer:
An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel,driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, (check the bottle before you change the spelling) followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you using Bill Gate's American technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that uses Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen, and trucked to you by Mexican illegals.
....That, my friends, is Globalization

Dial up sux~

Having Dial up now just makes you wanna stop blogging coz:
a) It takes too damn long to upload pics
b) There's a high chance they fail to load
c) Both (a) and (b)

Our sweet TzeLing and Bang~...

And some of their Cookoo friends~ (lazy to load the rest..took me friggin 30 min to load these)

Here's some recap on Engie Pubbrawl 06'

The Good...

The Bad...

And The Cookoos~

Hmm...took me 2 days to upload all these photos...crazy...

Congratz to Bang and Tze Ling

Was going to wait till i get a hold of all the pics taken...but that might take months...but here's some re-cap on that day when Tze Leing and Bang tied their knots...

It all started when KM rushed to the Wedding Ceremony after dropping by at Yumi's place to post for a few photo shots coz it's the 1st time I wore my formal suit( mebbe the 2nd time)...it was kinda odd tho...for a guy to walk in so overdressed XD...thinking how nice it'll be if Yumi were to tagged along...

Reached there juz in time and noticed....
The Wed Car was awesome BMW Z class...woo hoo...nice nice...with 2 teddy bears strangled in front of the bumper...how cute...rite?...poor teddies...

In order to go in...we have to pass thru some "ang pow" screening routine...where according to chinese customs...one has to give ang pow instead of prezzies to the newly weds...XD...the fun part is...since i dun have any wedding ang pows (those with the chinese word "Xi"), I used my New Year Ang Pow (with the word "Fu" written on the front cover) instead.

Managed to get thru tho...
The place was quite awesome...think bout 20+ tables...I was directed to table 16 i think..can't remember much...but yeah...I tot it'll be some ah mah's or ah ee's table...but to find out that there's a bunch of psychos juz like me hanging there...XD...can't remember all of their names except Joanne and Adrian tho haha...but i think we r the loudest table around...

The ceremony starts..yada yada yada...then we feast on those chinese main course meals...was awesome...

Until...

Take note of this....Aussies DUN do our traditional YUM SENG STYLE....as in the crowd suck in as much oxygen as they could and start screaming YUUUUUUUUUUUUMM SENNNNGGGGG~!! culture...the longer u can drag...the merrier...

so as usual...our table beh syok d...coz of the lack of "noise" in that hall...

in a few moments when the newly weds and the family came around for some picture taking session...we gathered around....singing "yum seng" to them...i think our whole table went cookoo coz of me, Adrian and another guy...XD...but who cares....heaps fun

to our amazement...unknowingly..we started the yum seng trend...i think all chinese do have some KiaSu syndrome implanted somewhere...haha...but i must say...no matter how hard the uncles and aunties tried...they can't beat our record in holding our breathe....haha...never...

Tze Ling and Bang had a tough time coping with our cookooness...as they have to hold their breathe for so long juz to say yumm seng.........on every table right after ours...HAHAHA....yes....25 of them....25 friggin tables...thanx to us~!

Overall...the food was good....the entertainment was...erm...not bad (considering some ah mah sang some supa dupa old old old song...freaking the OZs out)...the newly weds were a match made in heaven (but can c their panda eyes lar...must be very tiring)...n I had loads of fun


*will upload some photos once i got it*

Something to share about life

A young woman went to her mother and told herabouther life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose? Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire.

Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word. In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl.

Turning to her daughter, she asked, "Tell me, whatdo you see?""Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied. Her mother brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft.The mother then asked the daughter to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard boiled egg. Finally, the mother asked the daughter to sip the coffee.

The daughter smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. The daughter then asked,"What does it mean, mother?" Her mother explained that each of these objects had faced the same adversity ... boiling water.? Each reacted differently. The carrot wentin strong, hard, and unrelenting. However, afterbeing subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior,but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.

"Which are you?" she asked her daughter."When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot,an egg or a coffee bean?"Think of this: Which am I? Am I the carrot that seems strong, but with pain and adversity do I wilt and become soft and lose my strength?Am I the egg that starts with a malleable heart, but changes with the heat? Did I have a fluid spirit, but after a death, a breakup, a financial hardship or some other trial, have I become hardened and stiff? Does my shell look the same, but on the inside am I bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and hardened heart? Or am I like the coffee bean? The bean actually changes the hot water, the very circumstance that brings the pain. When the water gets hot, it releases the fragrance and flavor. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst , you get better and change the situation around you. When the hour is the darkest and trials are their greatest, do you elevate yourself to another level? How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg or a coffee bean?

The happiest of people don't necessarily have thebest of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes alongtheir way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

Random Tickle Test~

Bored at work...so i took up this test...personality test to be exact...here's what i got

BlackYour color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

hoho...quite true...mebbe..who knows *smirk*...try it out...

positive thinking

positive thinking u asked?...ok..i'll give u one example of it...lemme explain the word IDIOTIC

Idiotic is an adjective which is used to describe the universal inferiority.
Universal inferiority is when one is inferior to another at a point in the space-time continuum.
Being Idiotic means being inferior only at that particular point in space-time, not all the time.
It is not always bad, in fact it is a GREAT THING to realise when oneself is idiotic.

In other words,
Being idiotic is being humble.
It explains that people are imperfect.
Because there is always a time when one is inferior to another.
Therefore there is always room for improvement.
It is this constant strive to learn and improve that makes life interesting.
If we were all perfect, what more is there to do? What reason is there to live?
For if we were all perfect, we would not die, hence life would bare no meaning.

Acknowledging that oneself is idiotic is acknowledging one is human, and hence alive.
Once this has been achieved, life will be a much greater experience.

Therefore, don't you think being an idiot is the greatest thing in life???

ah...SPIDER MAN~!??
