bday!

Celebrated my birthday with comrades just now. They bought a cake for Hari (whos birthday is today) and me. Both of us were forced to play the cherry game. As expected, I was forced to bite the strawberry (luckily its bloody big strawberry, or else...) from YC, while Hari gets his strawberry from Kam.

Really appreciate the surprise. Didn't expect it to come at that time as too into work. Hah, I almost believe when everyone gathered and Weliam said we going to have a talk, where the lights were switched off... =.='

After that, everyone went Geylang for supper. =) Its very ex lar, but still need to go, its a tradition. =)

Stay Focused

Hmm, event that happened today should serves as a reminder that I should keep in mind my objective and target. Come to think of it, I've becoming more and more 随便 and fool around most of the time. I should be more serious and use my brain to work efficiently instead of thinking about jokes or whatever shit.

binghan! WAKE UP! Don't forget why you choose to spend this three months here!

So far so good.

Quite happy with the progress so far, although a bit (a bit only) behind schedule.

This year quite fun, structure seems more interesting than the year before. =) People seems more fun and everybody seems more hardworking. Actually I feel that I like FE more than any other pos. Its like I can contribute more in this way. Still remember last time when seniors ask what is my goal. Now I understand the importance of deciding one clear goal - everyone will have the same direction and know what to expect.

Ohya, we are the fifth to perform. don't really like to perform so late leh... =(

How?

Hmm, should I follow Aunt Nancy to KL to see grandpa during weekend? or should I stay to do my work?

Both are equally important... can't afford anything bad happen to either side.

So sienz.

"So, Dunwanna fren u liaoz"

The phrase that I hate most! Whether you say it for fun or not, I take it seriously. So, don't expect me to entertain you, unless you strike jackpot and I'm damn happy that day. Hmmp!

bird in c409 (cont...)

1 D went Vietnam
1 D went Japan
1 D fell sick (and need to take care of family)

hmm... just have to depend on the remaining D. Its time for us to minimize the damage from the situation that we maximized out of in the beginning.

I think the bird that I released kena slaughtered by cats?!?

bird in C409

Caught a bird in Michelle's room. I think the bird got trapped in the through the whole weekend. Its quite weak and couldn't fly out on its own. So, I left it at the C-B area. Now its wondering around the grass area looking for food. Hope it can survive.

Will this bring us good karma? Hahaha.

designers~~~

I wish I can design or at least have the sense of designing... =/

settled

Finally settled on something on 17th May?

funny... 17th, same element some more...

well... looking forward to this year's experience.

the magic numbers for today:

81

500

Instinct vs iPhone

Hmm, iPhone seems having hard time with all the competitors nowadays, like Instinct, and the BlackBerry 8820 (comparisons).

up-peez

These are what that spice up my (our) life these few days:

Jabbawockeez
Enchanted
Phantom of the Opera
Disney (songs and dance)

----

Narrowed down to 2 ideas. Hmm, somehow can see some lights there. But still not very sure until we start to focus into details of every single piece of it.
Engineering will be quite challenging. I'm going for the idea to push as far as we could as I'm confident with the skills/knowledge of the rest of team members.

Direction

Not quite sure what we (or rather "I") want for the design. I was quite convinced with the drawings that the designers showed me initially. But after discussed with seniors, somehow, I just feel like actually I'm not very SURE that this will be the winning design!

I think the design is nice, although its very very tall. All the design seems very logical with the explanation given. Along with quite a number of mechanisms that sounds practical. Just that lack of the final wow factor, which I'm still not convinced with the one that they showed.

Hmm, just feel like my confidence shaken when Jeff says the design "one look already know CMI"...

Whats the best sia?

Up Next : The Verdict!

Secret

Ah, just found out another info. jd06sf07.

4/5

Went Hui Sing food court for supper with Horng Rong, Arthur and Yu Xuan. Without second thought, I ordered kolomee. The last time I eat kolomee was when Kae Lin brought back to Sg with her (aiks, when was it arrr.... cant recall.... haha). But its just taste different when you eat tapau-ed kolomee.

5/5

Went The Spring and Boulevard window shopping with Horng Rong, Arthur and Yu Xuan. Well didn't expect much to see with both 40k m^2 and 37k m^2 let-able area shopping mall. Nevertheless, they are the first large scale shopping mall in Kuching.

Actually the I like the 'fountain' at the 'center court' of The Spring. Its very interesting. The plate attached to the metal string will 'flow' up and down when water is released/cut-offed from the top. According to my friend, the mechanism is based on water only. I stared at the fountain for quite some time trying to figure out how the mechanism work. In the end, I gave up, can't make any sense by just staring at it.

After that, we went to the new (new to me) food court opposite Boulevard. What makes this food court different from the other food courts is that the rooftop of the food court can open and close. Pretty cool eh? I ordered kam pua. Suddenly have the urge to eat things that are special in Malaysia, or perhaps Kuching.

6/5

Went Stampark swimming with Horng Rong, Arthur and Liang Wee. Almost drown when I tried to follow them around to the deeper area =.='. Fyi, I can't really swim. Swam, or rather stood in the middle of the pool, blocking others, for about 1 1/2 hours before decided to claim or free gift - 100 plus that comes with the ticket. o.O'

8/5

Went Saberkas, wanted to buy the RAM for my laptop. But in the end, decided to give up and go back Sim Lim to have a look on the price after found out that the DIR-615 that I bought for about S$90 three months ago is tagged at about RM310 here in Kuching. And the Asus DVD-Writer that I bought for S$40 (I think its S$20+) was priced at RM120. o.O'

Went Amway talk with mommy at King Centre in the evening. I find the talk by the last speaker very inspiring. Its about Target, Plan and Action (目标，计划，行动）. Shall note down in Chinese, easier.

目标
必须大，自己看了才会兴奋。
必须明确，自己看了才不会糊了方向。
最好的例子是追女孩子，目标锁定了，感觉非常兴奋。每天都会朝着目标行动。如果目标不明确：今天看一个，明天又追一个。这就罢了吧。


计划
凡事必须规划。
许多大目标都是由小目标而逐渐达成。目标大，看了自然毫无头绪。但如果分划，小目标皆成，大目标必达到！

计划必须简单才会快。
最佳例子：麦当劳（快餐）对当地名食。麦当劳汉堡简单，人人可为；名食，只要换了个厨师，口感即不同。就因如此，麦当劳普遍全世界。当然，吃麦当劳是吃潮流。另外，以前有个比喻：大鱼吃小鱼；现在的社会则是：快鱼吃慢鱼。你慢，自然被社会淘汰！



行动
价值观（差不多是这个，忘了他用什么词）
很多事情，如果遇到了挫折，困境，最终，您得问您自己这东西对自己的价值观。不要顾别人怎么看，或怎么想。那你就成功了。



。。。以为自己能把那头头是道的讲说表达出来，但现在总觉得不同。。。

Give yourself a pat

If there isn't anyone around to give you a pat on the back, set things up so you can give one to yourself

hmm...

AY07/08 Sem 2 Finals finished. And I'm finished. Never felt like this before - did so badly to the extent that might have to retake that module, ST2131. Just don't like maths. I need something which is concrete, something which I can see and picture, object-oriented.

Anyway, whats over is over. Lets just focus on the coming ones - Home, Holiday, and RAG. =)

Home - Going back on the 2nd May. Hmm, miss everyone at home. Haven't go home for almost one year already.

Holiday - The one week break at home will be my holiday! A bit short if you ask me. But, this is what I've chosen.

RAG - This will be the big thing for AY08/09. This is what I'll spent the rest of my holidays for. Hope I can achieve my goal this time. And lets just hope everyone will put in their 101% for it.
