Harlo? Ah Seng 啊? 今晚有没有回家吃?
our lecturer A/P Lee Kim Seng's handphone rang during Engineering Visualization & Modeling lecture today. That line was from me.

A girl asked for my autograph at Block EA's lift lobby.
Notice how funny it is when he passed by FedEx and UPS trucks. Kind of reminds me of the Japanese movie Messenger which I like a lot.
Oh the girls said that Engin canteen's tea is the best in NUS! They called it teh tarik, and I was wondering why... then they said cos got bubbles... err...
Today is 重阳节!
Another story of me sitting next to the window.
Yesterday morning I was sitting in front of my computer (which is just beside the window), then suddenly a pigeon flew into my house and stood next to me.
My blog is flammable, cos my blog is crappy. Crap produces methane gas, which can be used as fuel.

Must people learn safety by accident?What gets us into trouble
is not what we don't know
It's what we know for sure
that just ain't so

Learned something interesting in Mechanics of Material lecture this morning.manufacturers of aluminum cans exercise the same attention and precision as do makers of the metal in an aircraft wing. The engineers who press the design of cans toward perfection apply the same analytical methods used for space vehicles.
...
Such a can, whose wall surfaces are thinner than two pages from this magazine, withstands more than 90 pounds of pressure per square inch--three times the pressure in an automobile tire.

After a long period of inactivity, the India-Pakistan-China Summit resumed at the Pakistani ambassador Mister Rizwan's residence today at his Hari Raya reception.
When it comes to sleeping, 1+1 doesn't give 2.
During Sensors and Actuators lecture, the lecturer was teaching logic gate (again), binary signals and their close similarity with the Chinese 八卦 (bagua, not bah kwa!) The Chinese 八卦 or "eight trigrams" is actually a binary system that has up to 64 combinations. There's more science to Chinese traditions huh?
Now I have one more reason not to sleep during lecture (including the 5 mintues break in the middle)
A few nights ago I had a very freaky dream.
Happy Deepavali!
This week's Political Science lecture talked about Marxism.
Somehow I was very tired yesterday, so I was hoping some coffee from canteen could boost me up. With coffe cup swinging in hand, I walked into LT7 from the back door. So tired that I couldn't walk straight, I walked down the steps in a zig-zag motion, very much like air molecules. When I got to my row my coffee cup swung and hit the edge of the desk...
Today during Political Science lecture, I saw a girl use a red Pilot G2 pen as a hairpin for her long hair...one equation, one unknown

(Ok I know there's a lot of Gundams appearing here recently.)
All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

After a series of intensive tests, I conclude that the coffee at Dillys Creation is lousy. It just tastes like water plus sugar and artificial colourings. Go for engin canteen coffee, probably the best coffee in NUS. (sounds like Carlsberg)
During lecture this morning, snoookems just told averii who chillycraps is...
My former boss Steven once told me, "my boss said to me, don't be a sucker, be a f*cker!"
Just finished watching Z Gundam III, the last of the Gundam Z movies trilogy. (see also I and II) Same old comments, they added some new CGs and since it is a condensed version of the original 50 episodes series, the scenes don't connect that well. The ending has changed slightly happier, Camille didn't turn mentally incapacitated after defeating Scirocco, and I ain't complaining.Labels: gundam
Have you seen those red oil barrels in HDB neighbourhoods for people to burn incense paper? Yesterday I saw an office lady/auntie burning documents (looked like invoice or bill) in the red barrel below my block.Labels: bus

It's not how we are born that matters.

Pumpkin Scissors episode 2
Have you heard of an anime series with a total of only 3 episodes of 20-odd minutes each? Seriously I don't understand why Sunrise came out with the Gundam Seed Stargazer in the first place. Just to fill the vacumn before the next Gundam series come out?Labels: gundam
So I actually spent 4 hours yesterday looking at beams bend. Or pretend they were bending on the computer screen.
Had my DC motor experiment yesterday and really feel like putting some freaks into the squirrel cage motor running at 1500rpm.
Went to Bugis area and I suggested this cute place called Miss Clarity Cafe. Actually I have wanted to try this place for a long time, now finally had a chance to go in =) The ambience is super cool, colourful walls, colourful drawings of that cute little girl, you just forget what is sadness when you step in! I had a Bacon Alio Olio, which comes in a very cute big plate~! Haha, see, I can get excited easily.
I think I need to wear a paper bag over my head when I come for lecture tomorrow.
Went to Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music open house today. (must be mad to go back to NUS on weekend) Watched T'ang Quartet and Marian Hahn play Schumann's Piano Quintet. The performance was quite cool and it was my second time listening to T'ang Quartet play~
They really should display this sign outside LT7.
If you have a lot of piercings...Let's take a 15 minutes break...

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

I realize things I have said both in group emails and blogs are causing unhappiness to others.
I want to vomit milk!!!
