Haha~ this post came sooner than i thought.. But anw i'm in my school's COM LAB now..E-test coming up in...........2 hours 25 mins.. haha~ So decided to blog while i choose the material to print for my open book E-test later... Ok..for those who totally have no idea what i'm talking about..

E-test is basically like a mid term test for my EE2009 Signals module with 10 MCQs.. And if u google for it..u're bound to see some blogs talking about it...and the words that ppl often use to describe it are: "Legendary", "Fail", "No point". Haha i'm not lying..it seems that its not so much of an open book test.. rather, it is a test that tests u on ur concepts about engineering..

Even the lecturer says.."Its ok to fail. The average is usually 2 - 3 marks". Thanks for the advice Dr. Ko! (Who happens to be a super hilarious professor whose lecture i enjoy immensely.. and thats no sarcasm) He always has his own set of weird but practical philosophies.. like recently he said "U dont need to know everything to do something! You all learn about the electron?? *pause* But has anyone even seen it anot??" Haha..if u think about it..it totally makes sense..

And then he always say "Life is complicated!" and "We're lazy!" and thats when he will cancel out something from the book and say "Not tested! No point! Too Difficult!" haha~ how cool is that?? A professor that takes out things that are no point!! And if u think about it..we've indeed learnt alot of things that are NO POINT! Think about those experiments u've done before in school...did it REALLY help u in ur studies now? KCL, CuSO4...haha i dont use that in programming definitely..

Anw..u get my point..haha..

So i really enjoy his lessons and i think he's one of the best lecturers i've seen in NUS! Practical and teaches only the things that are useful in LIFE, and not just anything in the syllabus...

kinda remind me of Jean Lee in AJC though..haha..she also takes out those things that are useless to know..haha i like this kind of teachers :D

Ok side tracked alot! Back to the E-test..

So like i said..its testing our concepts and seemed like it has nothing to do with the textbook... Like one of my friend(Dom) told me: "I searched one of the questions and its a question from a year 4 ADVANCED Signal module of some university..." Wow.. it sure is legendary..

Hmm let me give u an idea of what the test is like... (Based on the examples he used in the lecture..) Try to answer these questions.. And see if u can even get these 2 "simple" questions right...

Btw they are not exactly the same as what he really asked cause i cant rmb the exact words..but its the same concept and idea and question type...



1)
An aircon operates at 10H.P (Horse Power). What is the power consumption?

a) 10 Horse Power
b) 10W
c) 0W
d) Dont know


2)
If u switch on the power from an outlet and put your fingers into the holes (One finger in each). Would you die?

a) Yes
b) No
c) More energetic
d) Depends


Haha...try them and tag on my tag-board your answers...and when i see enough answers i'll post the answer he gave us together with my next post..hahaha~ I think its quite funny...


Ok then..:) Gotta go print some notes..wish me luck for the super-tricky-and-no-need-for-textbook E-Test! Hope to get full marks!! LOL!!!

Ciaoz!


Yes danny, u're right... I usually tag in ur blog right after i update mine..lol~ But i guess this time 'it' crept into me again...haha i mean my laziness to blog...

I think the thought of wanting to blog with pictures always makes me blog later..and this usually leads to me procrastinating like mad to a point of no return.. But i've got this feeling that i'm not the only blogger that reacts this way...think alot of ppl usually have this inertia to start blogging when there are too many fotos to post..lol~ And on the other hand..those ppl who blog without pictures will update almost everyday and some even a few times a day...haha~ it must be a trend..i know it..



Lol~ Once again..whats with the number of tags!! haha..oh well i know i'm a little late... but i noticed a trend..less ppl read blogs AFTER exams, as compared to the number of ppl who read blogs DURING exams..



Funny huh? I always tot ppl would be more free after exams..but i guess not..hahaha...


Must be during exam they read their notes until bored..so start to blog hop..mm! Must be...

Lol~


Anw...lets start this post...



Celebrated our 1.5 year anniversary with jin on 17/12/08! :D Happy day...

Oh well..



SO how now? haha~ no choice...so i suggested..lets go watch a movie! :D


But i didnt know where got cinema..but there wasnt any theatres near us...so we decided to go to IMM...haha.. And for some reason..that shuttle bus took super long to come! Then we did some window shopping and cam-whoring with the various christmas decos..:P














OH and we went to this toy shop and saw this super super value for money present!


Check this out!

Whats with the number of tags?? Lol~ Anw i'm back again~

I'll talk about my podcast and busking thingy in a while..

But first..some fotos of what i did one day after my exams.. late..but its better to be late than never :P



Had a haircut..Much neater now..but of course its not something new or anything...

After that, went to collect my beverly hills chiwawa dog-leash which i won from xin.sg (Pls refer to previous previous post)

It was a super hot day that day...walk and sweat, walk and sweat...thanks Jinjin for pei-ing me go all the way to mediacorp to claim it..

So here's the dog leash:





And it came in this very cheap and dusty white box...






So much for good packaging..lol~

Anw after collecting my cheap, no i mean free, dog leash, jinjin and i went to the place nearest to town...

Toa Payoh..


Lol~ Cause we realised that ALL the bus (other than the one we took) went to the west!! For some reason..there wasnt any SINGLE bus that goes to town or anywhere near...and it was really toot hot that day! So out of frustration..i decided to just go toa payoh..haha but it wasnt a bad choice in the end!

Shopped around the interchange with jin..and she found this super nice bag for only $16.. didnt take foto of it..but it really fits her alot! And since she's also looking for a new bag..she bought it :)

Good choice jin!



After that went to play arcade with her...tried to complete time-crisis 3 using one token but still cant past the end of 2nd stage yet.. (Time crisis 2 was so much easier..can complete maybe 5 times with a single credit..lol) But haha guess i still got so much more training to do..although TC4 had been out for maybe 2 3 years already? lol~ oh well..its all about the fun~

Here's some photo of the sharpshooter..lol~






Must be very serious..or i will lose all hp and die!!!! :P






Played the other usual games after that..but no photographer to take foto..haha so i only have these 2..:P


Moving on..


After that we went shopping and i spotted an extremely nice top for her..and she likes it too! So in the end..she bought it! And it was a total value for money..but i dunno if she minds me stating the price here..so i'll leave it as that first..haha



Anw here's the top!




Nice? Well the most impt thing is we love it..haha woot~




More foto-taking moments after that..




I look realllyyy cheeky in this foto..but i was about to burst into laughter, hence my face...Do i look weird??




And lastly..a nice foto at the end of the date..

Cheeseeee~





WHoo~ Really had fun that day..:D


Ok lets carry on..

Remember i talked about street busking sometime back? And for those who still dunno what busking is..its actually the proper term for street performing..(think about those auntie and uncles who sing around mrts or near temples...) Yup..thats what street busking is...but of course u cant just do it anywhere and anyhow u wan...u have to go thru an audition and a little interview to see if u're good enough and will not affect the public...

Well..i went for the auditions with jeremy in September and we passed!!

Unfortunately we didnt have time to get it till now!

So here's it~


Front view




And look at what we're performing :

Electronic music -
Keyboard, Electronic drums, Laptop, Wii Controllers

Wii controllers?? YUP! u never see wrongly..jeremy will be playing the drums using the wii controllers..haha..curious?? Come see us when we're out busking! Cool stuff rite? :P



The back view




Dont think u guys can see anything also..lol..try zooming in maybe? It shows the places where we can perform :)

Yup..i'll update u guys on when we'll be out performing or busking..remember to drop us some money if u see us hor..dont run away or pretend u dont see us..haha...and try to bring us some crowd too :P


Finally, Our PODCAST first episode is out! featuring jeremy and myself! Haha..But our webbie is not done up yet..so still need some time...when its up..do show us some support!

Here's a photo of our "studio" A.K.A jeremy's room..haha he has all kinds of cool equipment there!





Cool huh~ lol~ So remember to read my msn nicks and check out my blog often to find out when the global premiere of our podcast is..haha..Hopefully it will be soon! :D


"Thanks dear for listening just now:) U really made me feel much better le :)
Sleep tite and sweet dreams :)"



Signing off...


Will update real soon...ciaoz~


Woot~! I came, i saw, i conquered..lol~ finally finished my exams.. but ya ya ya i know most of u all have started enjoying long before my time...so good for u guys..and now good for me too! :D

Today was maths paper~ I think 1 or 2 tutorial questions came out and 1 or 2 questions are similar to past year's papers...and i practised both! So not too bad..haha but still there were lots of room for careless mistakes and i left 1 part blank too! (i hate cantelivier beams!) so i'm not too sure how i fared..but i'm pretty sure its much better than mid~ much better :D


Lets review this past sem:


What have I learned?


1) Figured out the only way to suceed in university..nothing but hard work...sad but true...

2) Hard work MUST be consistent.. definitely hard to do but still must force yourself..which i'm glad i did...

3) Learned more about the people about me...especially my school mates... some good some bad...i shant mention names..:) aw..dont start predicting or assuming..

4) hmm......



Ah Forget it! Enough of this boring stuff! Its the holidays! (finally) :D

Went to NTU to find jin and pei her do her fyp experiment...haha interesting place...but i ended up charging my PSP and playing it there..haha~ But she brought me to one of their food courts...the western food fried rice is horrible~ lol~ never going to be eating that anymore..

Anw the other stalls were either maggot-infested or opened by greedy hawkers..(info given to me by jin~) Haha...


So after that went to Jin's place to have dinner there...but before that, i intro-ed her to "Reaper" and we watched 2 episodes... A really really great series... Everyone should watch it.. Maybe i'll give a little review on the show... Meanwhile check out the webbie if u're interested...




http://www.cwtv.com/shows/reaper



Some screenshots:



The devil whose smile means more than u think...


And our neighbourhood friendly ghostbusters!




A simple summary:

Basically, the story begins when a simple worker from a super mart, Sam realised on his 21st birthday that his soul has been sold to the Devil by his parents when he was just a baby(sad). From then on, he had to work as a bounty hunter for devil, catching souls who have escaped from hell.

The series is a mixture of comedy, thriller, sci-fi, shows. The sadistic nature of the devil, the way he tries to act polite and the 3 not-so-cool ghost-busters never fail to crack me up. K la..go watch if u guys are interested ok? Its shown on channel 5 on mondays 11pm also...



Moving back to the dinner at Jin's place, Jin's mum cooked CRAB! whoo~ Wonder if she cooked it just for me..haha and i must say it was finger-licking good! hahaha~ Thanks to jin who digged out much of the meat for me...cause i kept eating the legs..and 2 pincers i think or was it 3? Haha~ nice but horribly spicy...but spicy in a tasty way...superbbbly good! mmm mmm~ :D



Here are the remains of that poor crab...
(We used our hands so it was really dirty..hence, the removal of the hand :P)

Jin jin: Show this photo to your mummy if she's around wor! And tell her how fantastic i think her chilli crab was! :D






Finally, I'll end this post with what i really wanna do this holiday:

1) Go to the places I've planned with jin jin :D


2) Start busking at esplanade park




3) Do up my podcast

4) Perform on stage with my band (i really miss performing...)

5) Get students to learn pop piano (pls help me publicise...)



Boy am i glad exams are over~

Ciaoz~ :D
