Favourtie song of the moment :)

充满男子气概,让人对生命的挑战好向望

人常在现实与理想间迷失方向,坚强与固执如何分辨. 什麼时候该坚持主见, 什麼时候该妥协, 生命是如此的矛盾. 如果你也在人生道路上感到厌烦与疲惫,相信这首歌能带给你小小的安尉.

sunday

Yesterday I stabbed myself with a thick arrow, haven't recover from that....

My life has been healthier ever since i started my regular exercises. Now I'm almost stress free and worry free. No problem seems too big for me. Whenever I'm stuck, I just need to jog at the beach and enjoy the sea breeze.

I think I'm a very bad relative. Always feel too busy to do house visits. It's been years since I last met many of my relatives. Now that Victor is back in singapore for almost a week, I haven't even spent time with him for 5 hrs yet.

When friends and work come together, I tend to get headaches.

blah...

My life revolves round NPCC, studies, tuition and friends. I intend to keep it that way for one more year.

GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLll

hm.....

Do you shout goal when you see a score?

shoik meh?

moodswings

Shitty feeling... My PPT's still not finished

I've been experiencing mood swings lately. I think it's immature to be feeling how I should feel in my teenage years so I always suppress my feelings. But sometimes I also think it's immature to suppress my feelings and act like a robot. Futhermore, it seems whatever I bottled up are ready to explode . Maybe I need a proper outlet.

While waiting for bus 81 tonight, I suddenly felt detached from my time plane. It was like how i used to feel on sunday nights. I was well aware that certain things were gone and they would never appear in my life again. I was also pressured by the challenges ahead in life. It was a shitty feeling to be stuck in that time where I could do nothing but watch the transition happen. I could feel the weight of problems resting heavy on my shoulders. It felt like I was engulfed in darkness.

I hate that kind of feeling

On happier note...

Victor arrived in the morning and it was pleasant to see him being as cute as before. Victor is currently 14 years old and I can see that he already has a strong passion for machines and technology. It's not hard to imagine him being an engineer or IT specialist in the near future. I think growing up in netherlands is so much different from growing up in singapore. In netherlands, you can spend your childhood looking for your dreams. In singapore, you're told what you should dream about..... particularly $$$$$$$$$

what to do... you can't do without $$$$$

minesweeper overdosed

midnight msn

youngsters now really know how to crap... should join crapsters

They say men can't multi-task, but I was typing a report, crapping on msn with 9 other people, playing minesweeper, sitting and breathing all at the same time.

My cousin is staying over for the next month... I wonder whose bed he's going to take..... disturbing thoughts

2 days week sem

Intersem II officially starts today. Electricity in modern society... sounds like a sociology subject.

I just heard this on TV, one of the reasons why people fear going to the dentist is because they are afraid they'll contract HIV. I thought this is the phobia of the past.

Anyway, try this... count the number of F in the following text

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY COMBINED WITH THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

How many did you get? I can safely say you're wrong. Try again and again until you get 6

I took near to 15 mins

what to write?

There's this sense of emptiness following the end of every camp/course. I can't explain why. Maybe it's the parting, but there'll be many chances to see everyone in the future. Maybe it's the realisation that things could be better. Or maybe it's just too much time under the sun and too much blood being drawn away.

Anyway I read my previous posts and found that I've been talking in riddles. Bo bian... cannot be too explicit because this isn't a private blog. Usually the entries go through a few cycles of censorship and when they're finally published they don't make sense anymore.

Maybe I can try writing in codes the next time... the Zhongyi code

872 * sda tiger in the banana bushes

Nevermind

why so many emails??? sian leh

pre-zzzzz entry

3 days of LMSC have just ended and i've got heaps of things to write about. Maybe in another time.

I've developed the good habit of sleeping and waking early. woohoooo.... feeling tired now

Tomorrow I need to make a trip down to HTA, then I need to go for ATC on fri, sat and sun.

Ok... Miss piggie, if you're reading this before the atc... i've decided to have my pizza during ATC.

The amazing robot

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing to you the Multi-purpose Transport Module

A stunning robot that can be controlled wirelessly to pick up objects weighing up to 10kg. The MTM is ideal for retrieving objects in an environment that is not suitable for human presence. The MTM is also a good helper in warehouses and factories.

The MTM is bi-directional and comes with a tri-directional forklift. The video feeding fuction ensures high precision.
The MTM comes with an installation CD, a wireless bridge router and a gamepad.

In case you're wondering where you can buy the MTM, look no more, because I doubt it'll be sold in the market. What you see here is what my group of 21 people has produced in 5 weeks. Although it serves a very simple purpose, it has a very complicated circuitry. In the first 3 weeks, we split ourselves into the USB programming team, the ADAM programming team and the motor team. Each team tackled a different problem. In the next 2 weeks, we combined our parts together and did a lot of troubleshooting. We presented our prototype to the professors and we got into the finals. The finale was the exhibition and the presentation suring the finals.

Our team got into top 6 but did not emerge as the top 3. One possible reason was that the other groups presented better and their products were more marketable. The results are as follow:

Gold Prize: E033 Title: Interactive Music Software Supervisor: A/P Goh Wang Ling

Silver Prize: E011 Title: White Light LED for Indoor Diffuse Wireless Communication
Supervisor: A/P George Chung Kit Chen and A/P Ng Beng Koon

Bronze Prize E027 Title: Wireless Home Automation Supervisor: A/P So Ping Lam and A/P Erry Gunawan

Merit Prize: E026 Title: Optical Design Apprentice Supervisor: A/P Shum Ping and A/P Sun Xiaowei

Merit Prize: E007 Title: Turn an Electric Wheel Chair into Robot Supervisor: A/P Wang Han and A/P Wang Jianliang

Merit Prize: E016 Title: EEG Data Reduction in Neonatal Seizure Detection Supervisor: A/P Pina Marziliano

Ok. We expected to win but we only got merit. However, I feel really excited to be studying engineering after this competition.

What a morning

The prof said he wanted to speak to us so I travelled from Pasir Ris to NTU just to hear, "Well done everyone!!! good job! ...... erm... can go back now."

soong bo??? My house is 2 hours away leh

The little lessons in the 22years of life

Life is never a painless process. The idea of living is to throw yourself into more pains so that the previous ones seem less painful.

Optimism is sometimes misleading, giving high hopes when you are really going to fall

Pessimism, on the other hand, makes you a bitter person

Luck is unpredictable and it cannot be depended on. Never leave life to chances.

Relationships are not just pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of life. A relationship involves breaking up 2 sets of puzzles until they can finally be pieced together into a smaller/bigger picture. It is never a fair game, some people retain a lot of themselves, while others retain only a little.

Fathers should never see themselves as judges. Why do you think your children should lead the life you have been wanting to lead?

People who keep reminding you of the times they have helped you are not really friends, they are only trading favours.

Life is full of tough decisions. When dreams and reality go in opposite directions, when your principles contradict one another, when success and integrity cannot coexist, which ones do you let go?

Being yourself is an excuse to stick to bad habits

Money is important but there are more important things.

I'll continue when I have more
