AHHHHH!!!!!! Just went to get new contact lense and realise my contact lense can last 2 weeks instead of 1 week. That means i just wasted like 1 month worth of contact lense..AHHHH!!!!

Sch was boring today...... very very sleepy...

Nothing interesting to blog...

Thinking of ways on how to promote weiqi (GO) to more ppl but i find it quite hard if ppl dun open to it or try to know about it. Like my lab, my classmates have never heard of GO and most of them think that is connect 5 or reversi...

Found these interesting facts on GO in the net...

-Go is the oldest game in the world still played in its original form. Some estimates are as high as 4000 years
-Top go players can earn nearly one million US dollars a year
-Go is simple enough for a 4 year old to learn, but too complex for a computer to beat a human who is a strong beginner
-It is believed there are more possible game variations than atoms in the visible universe
-Go is considered one of the premiere challenges for programmers of artificial intelligence (chess is not considered a challenge anymore).
-Go is strongly believed to stop or reverse common senile dementia in the elderly. Additional information is coming that it may reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's
-Go has an immense impact on the mental development of children, particularly in the area of reasoning
-Chess is primarily a left brain game. Go actively stimulates both the right and left sides of the brain

My dear frend renick said i should update my blog so as a gooooood frend of his i should update abit.

Bought DS lite last week and burn a huge hole in my pocket. Some of the games are fun and i even miss my train station in YCK yesterday cause i got too engross into pokmon dash.


Sch is as usual.... struggling to figure out my C++ programm and stuff my head with information on different library C++ book. I realise one thing, those author try to be lame. They try to joke in the book but is not funny at all, the more 'jokes' i see the more i feel like sleeping in lab. No wonder C++ book are always so thick.

This is my 'workstation'. Have to face this bloody pc everyday...... The firewire camera on the CPU is something i need to use for my project. Dun ask me wat am i suppose to do for my project, later i cant sleep.... Anyway mainpoint of me telling u about this camera is because it is a great help for me in lab, haha. In my lab my back is facing against the door so is hard to see if teacher has enter the lab or not so ta-dah.... I can see very clearly now...muhahahahaha.. ok, very lame i know.

Damm, those C++ book are making me think and talk like them...shit.
Really dunno how to pass my project this time round. I know nothing, ZERO.

Tried a new teaching method for my sat weiqi class and it din really go well. Especially those who are not as good one cause they dun concentrate on their question, tend to look around and keep complaining they dont know how to do. Have to stick back to the usual teaching method.
I dun like to use the word weak to describe ppl who are not that strong in GO especially my student cause i personally find the word 'weak' offending and rude. Ok, i know no link to the above paragraph, haha ....it just suddenly come into my mind.
Went with my mum n sis to some chinese resturant in westmall and i order lots of food cause damm hungry... I saw this roasted duck in the menu and the pic look so delicious so i place a order on it. But when it came, i feel like vomitting...
...
...
...
...
This thing look 100% different from the pic lar.... My sis keeping saying i bad taste, anyhow order but when i show her the pic in the menu she say "WAH!!!" This dish look very familiar to the dish i make very morning in my lab toilet. Maybe my dish more appealing.
One of my GO frend have been taking this bag for some time....

Is a HP bag. i forget wat HP means...something porter de. But i think harry potter better. Anyway he told me this black cloth with HP wording on it cost him $300+++....OMG...that is like the price of 150 chicken rice or 150 double cheese burger(if u prefer western food). I dun think i will ever get a back more than $100...Even if is a puma bg.... maybe GO related i might consider muhhahahahaah....

If u are expecting a lame post or a very funny post U SHOULD STOP READING NOW!!! Move your cursor to the top right hand corner of this window and click gently on the 'X' button.

This post is going to be fill with all my complaints and grumbling of my project.

For the past 2 weeks i have been complainting that my supervisor hasnt tell me wat to do for project and finally he told me last week that i am going to do some face recognition thingy and few days later he say there is a change of plan and i will be doing some camera/lazer thingy and is only till today i get the bloody camera.

The best part is he dun even guide me along as in tell me which area should i focus to study on and he MIA all the time. Other supervisor is always in the lab and if got problem can straight away ask them but mine?? fat hope, have to wait long long, really long long cause i never know when will he be back.

Ask me to borrow some visual studio book but wat the hell, those books are fill with words and all those IT jargons, who knows wat the hell they writing about.... Trying to show him the book but again he MIA the whole day...maybe he go find 1 cosy corner to sleep...

When he sees me he will repeat the same thing all the time despite me asking different question. He will keep replying read the book, borrow the book bla bla bla....

I am going to fail my fyp, i am serious. I dunno how to start.

The the other teacher who set up the camera for me is another joker teacher. Show me a set of programming code then say stuff like, "this is bla bla bla, have to see here, click here but hmm, i not sure too" then he will skip to next program. Again he will say same thing again, NOT SURE TOO.... then he will just suddenly walk off, trying to surprise me....

I am really confuse... 2 teacher telling me different instructions... which one should i listen to?

Today is damm bad day for me. My supervisor keep asking me where i go cause i was not in the lab when he went there to find me. Luckly my experience acting skill manage to cover up the lies but i can still see he is not convinced, damm not enough acting practice.

What worst is that he came to wake me up today in lab cause i somehow dozed off... so lucky sia. When i need him he cant be found, when i want him to go far far he will pop up anyhow to surprise me.

Lastly, that bloody bastard asshole $^%&@^$#@&%$# better shut up, i can still torlerate now. But if i explode 1 day i might chop off his fingers, muhahahaha. NO lar, joking... toes is good enough. I am seriously affected by his craps, i dun care if he is joking or wat, it doesnt sound like joke to me and is definetly not funny.

Dun ask me anything about it, i dun wan to talk about it.

Thursday after sch went to ding tai feng for dinner.


Is my first time to eat in this resturant. Was a debrief for judges of the recent competition and is the first time it held in such a 'high class' place. Normally it is held in the association and everyone will be like sian de.....





To me this is kind of lame. Cause the food like the small dragon bun taste almost the same as those cheap china road side store i try when i was in china last yea...This is wat i order, zha jian mian. Is very different from the zha jian mian i eat before. The sauce is good.



Nothing special about their small dragon bun.



Was enroll into swa exco committee yesterday and hope i can change their abit slack system and provide more new ideas for them so that more ppl play weiqi in singapore haha. Currently looking for sponsor to sponsor us our new phamplet but hard to find sia. Hope to change weiqi to GO cause weiqi is more of chinese term and it sounds kind of old. GO look more cool and might appeal to more youngsters.

SINGAPORE GO ASSOCIATION rather than SINGAPORE WEIQI ASSOCIATION.

Today is a fast day for me.... Reach class at 830am as usual then pretend to read my C++ book till i wan to sleep. Luckily jon n mos reach sch le then i go meet them. Went to mac chit chat awhile then go back to cage to sharpen my acting skill.
Decide to try something new so that i wont fall asleep so i type out the code from the book and run the program. Normally i would hope that there is 0 error but for now i hope to get as many error as possible so that i can find where i type wrong hoping that time past faster.
Finally my teacher approach me and hand me my project. Pass me a disc, a thumb drive look alike security device and the security code. then ask me to explore and understand wat isit about till next fri. Before i can get too excited, i look at the security code and is was so super duper long, eg.
GYT67F86HFST479GJFHD458FRT663DGFC07Y7TFCGS37RTYFCJH23JFVXU8GJHHG7
FJVJCD753FHYS47FU7T53TYD
So i have to like type slow n carefully to make sure there is no error.. in the end it cant be install, dunno y. Nothing to do for tml again...
Today i was release at 230pm cause got excuse letter to attend some club crawl briefing. I was excuse to 6pm and the briefing was from 245pm till 330pm...YAHOO!!! went library to sleep till 6... then meet the rest...haha...

Suddenly i realise my study table like kind of messy.

The other day went steamboating with jon, jer, mos and meng in some china shop intro by our future mediacorp actress, jerlyn.



Actually i dunno y i post this pic cause is like there is no food left, haha. Being not a picky and choosy good boy i find the food quite nice. (*not being sacarstic or anything*). Maybe i ate too many mushroom in the beginning until i feel like vomiting so din ate alot.

2 different kind of soup base, one is tom yam the other is some herbal soup. Jer must have felt so disgusted if she see the soup again...

Our future actress jerlyn. Some oil just splash on her face thats y she is covering it.

Yesterday went to be judge in one competition sponsor by ma kuang health care. I heard that they spend $8000 to sponsor this com. WOOOO, is like so much...

The competition area after the last game on the first day. Imagine the half the hall fill full with little children running and screaming around...Is deadly. Many helpers helping out keying the result into the lappy....

Really alot of medal to give the kids. The champion gets to represent singapore in the world youth competition (under 18) in boston, USA this year. So cool...

Was happy that 5 of my students get throphy in this com... I have to think of better way to help them improve in the next com in may.

Part 1

The siren rang without warning and i felt sick in my blood. The door opened and we were ushered down to the familiar corridor where i pass by for the past 14 years. Normally I would be looking forward to this moment for my meals but not now, not for the siren. Is time for the test again.

I grew up in an orphanage which is quite well known around the world and is heavily supported by the government agaency. It has facilities no other orphange had and the funds it had could buy a few countries. However i have never used these facilities before. They are just for display. When i was 7 years old i was taken to a room with other kids whose age are same as mine and several test was conducted on us and we were eventually divided into 2 groups, the TESTER and the WORKER. I do not know how i ended up into the tester group maybe is because of my small build and weak stamina. I was curious what i need to do as a tester, maybe try out food or try out new facilities in the orphange but i was very wrong. We had to try out drugs and medicine which are not stable yet and sometimes poison to see the effect. These poison are said to be used for assasination and the coroner will not be able to find the real cause of death and will presume as heart attack.

Everytime when the siren rang the tester will be escort to a room filled with people in white outfit and they will start testing drugs on us. Sometimes we have to eat pills of different shapes and size and other times with drugs inject directly into us. We will then be observed for a weeks for signs of side effects. Not all the tester are lucky enough to escape death, some will be dead immdiately after the test while others got stroke or paralyse for the rest of their lives and these tester will be left aside to rot to death.

I was lucky enough to survived the past 13 test and i am now going for my 14th one. The tester can only be used once a year so that the new drugs will not corrupt with the previous one. The corridor to the testing room was lined up with military soldiers to make sure no one try to escape or hurt those people in white outfit. Those who try will find themselves filled with bullets and even if they managed to escape from the soldiers there is no way they could escape from the tight security and the barricade around the orphange compound. The building was design in such a way that it is no difference from a first class prison and information leaking to the outside world is impossible.

I found my usual spot in the room and sat down awaiting for instructions. The man in white (MIW) approach me with a container 'CAUTION' as a label, puts on a mask and took the drugs out. This test was very different from the past one because this is the first time the MIW wears a mask and handle the drugs with extreme care, soldiers with mask on are surrounding my area and what totally freak me out is that the 'zip lock bag' for dead body is right beside my seat.

"Dun worry this is like the usual procedure you had before. Describe how you feel after consumption of the drugs." The MIW said calmly. He then took out a bible and mumbled some stuff before one of the soldiers pry open my mouth.

Tell him how i feel? I doubt i will be able to walk out this room alive. The drugs must be still at its initial stage and tester who test them will most probably end up in the morgue. The drug get closer and closer to my mouth and i pray hard that i will just die peacefully with no pain.

Suddenly a soldier rush into the room and stop the MIW. He whisper some stuff into his ears and the MIW gave orders to release me. "You are very lucky, you just got a sponsor." Before i could rejoice i felt a sharp pain at the back of my head and everything went black.

To be continued.....

Is fun in FYP today. My supervisor still haven tell me wat to do for my project so no choice but to daze into the com the whole day. No msn, restricted internet access, tense environment and "everyone seems damm busy" attitude make me abit siao le.....

Hope u can read wats on the screen... Think only my group will have chance to see this screen.

Everyone in my group like super duper hardworking de, write notes here and there, walk around with programming books only i like so free sia... Is just so scary......

Tour around and saw meng sleeping in lab!!!

Today is a bad day.

To me it is a black monday.

Report to sch at 9am for my year 3 briefing and SURPRIZE, we were told that our project starts today and we have to report to sch everyday from 830am to 6pm. We got divided into different groups and great, i was all alone in my new group, know no one there. At least the rest of my classmates have frends in their new groups.

After the briefing we had 3hours to slack before the next briefing by our group supervisor. So me, bob, mos and mic went to jer house to rest and play with her dogs. I really envy her cause she just stay beside the sch and cross 1 bridge will reach her house. Unlike me, need to take around 45min to reach sch....

His name is Brandy. He is damm well behave and wont bark anyhow like mad dog.

Haha, any pic of him.... I really hope to have a dog like this but the only problem is that his fur can drop real easily. And i might future my studies overseas so not wise to have my own dog.

The dog on the left is call Bully. He is a crazy mad dog. I AM SERIOUS. He is so damm hyper and can run here n there like super duper busy but he is just mad. Jer keep saying he very cute...omg i will die if my dog is like that, i might just chop off its limb, muhahahahaahhahaha.

If you are wondering if u are seeing 3 or 4 people in the pic, IS 4. Dun worry, u r not seeing things. There is a head behind those cushion belongs to mic. She is like damm scare of dogs, scare kena eaten up by them hahaah... Those cushion are her ultimate defence against the 2 dogs.

So after that went to my group briefing and i only see 1 familiar face but dun really know her, kind so sad cause i know no one and i am going to spend 3 months with them lar!!! The briefing was conducted by one of the supervisor who looks like hilter. He keep repeating the stuff like wear landyard, dun be late bla bla bla and say jokes only he laugh at.

Compared to other groups i felt that my group is damm strict and my project are helping industry to complete their product and no msn in our computer. We still have some 1 to 1 interview to choose our project. The interview sux.... They ask me wat have i done using these program, that program and i dunno how to ans. Finally they ask 1 question which i know how to ans, do u prefer flash or c++, guess wat i chose c++. I cant believe it, i hate c++ to the core in my previous sem and i choose it....... GREAT!!!

So they start to assign us to our supervisor and guess wat, i was assign to the boss of my group, A GRUMPY OLD MAN!!! And i was the one guy assign to him while other supervisor got 3 or 4 student under them.

One of the requirement for one of the project is to know how to swim and trap water, haha i find it quite interesting but damm not i take. The worst thing is that the internet connection is not the whole day. Is restricted to like from 9am to 11am, 12pm to 1pm then 5pm onwards................

Maybe my project requirement is act like a retarded. I behaved like retarded today staring at the monitor screen saver icon jumping here and there for more than 3hours. While other supervisor are briefing their student their project my supervisor was MIA the whole day. He only appear at the end of the day to brief all of us the rules and regulation in the lab (we have heard like more than 3 times in the earlier briefing) and keep saying the supervisor are not there to help us, we have to find out info ourself. Then say tml then brief me.... ahhhhh.....

I AM SO DEAD!!!!!!!

Tml onwards for 3 months i have to get my supervisor to sign on them everyday before and after sch.

Saturday, March 03, 2007

Exams are over and i did quite badly for all 3 papers, especially the OS and IP paper. Think i can score around 1o marks over 100. REAL DEAD.
Next mon is the briefing for year 3 project and there is like no holiday for me. Think the project will start next mon right after the briefing. Sian de....
Came back from chalet and not much stuff cause it was raining everyday. Nothing much to talk about too... Kind of sad too cause all of us is going to be seperated into different class. Have to make new frends all over again..
Went to jon house after that to return his bike. His mum really look very teacher-like and his younger bro look like his older bro. Damm, jon must be so happy if he see this post.
After that went ikea for LUNCH. yar, thats right, not to buy furniture but for lunch, hahahaah. The food there is quite nice and is not very ex too. Went to shop around after that....

Jon began by serving us drinks.... This is the display kitchen in ikea btw... see how nuts he can get, muhhahaahha.

OMG, just realise he can be such a great model for hospital (stroke patient).... dun kill me jon...

And lastly bobby trying out the unique chair which supports the um-um... Look at his enjoying face...hahahhahaah. Will get that for your birthday present, no worries.

Time really pass so fast. I am like year 3 now lar. Although i wan to graduate from nyp very much but graduating means looking for job after ns. That is scary. Although i have plans to study in korea but it means i have to reach my target before i graduate in nyp to get into that uni.

time is running out....

watch battle royale today in crunchyroll. Is a sick show. After watching tat show i keep thinking if that really happen to my class, how long can i survive? Or will i commit suicide in order not to kill ppl?

Trust is important.
