Tommyknockers

Have been reading novels by the horror master Stephen King to get ideas for my hall FOC ghost walk. Just finished reading Tommyknockers. An extremely good read, and getting very exciting 1/3 into the book. Exam period didn't stop me from finishing the 5.5 cm thick book within one week. Basically it's about the discovery of an ancient alien artifact that changes the entire fabric of the town. There's one sentence from the book that is quite interesting, and it goes something like this:

 

"We always assume that the alien is alive in an alien invasion. It never occur to us that alien invasion can also happen when the alien is dead."

 

Tommyknockers and It  are two very good stories by Stephen King. Highly recommended.

*** Months Later ***

 

In the end I got ABBCCC. Slightly better than the worst case scenario I anticipated, but after this single exam my total number of Cs increased by a whooping 4 times! This is very bad. I guess neglecting 4 weeks of tutorials to play World of Warcraft was a very bad move. Better buck up, if not I can't get even a second upper...

 

 

EE3002

God damned me for not going lectures!

 

Just 5 minutes before entering the examination hall, I overheard the guy sitting beside me saying "this one surrre come out one..." Out of curiousity, i turned around and peep at his lecture notes. At that time I thought to myself:

 

'Wah liew, the diagram like never seen before one leh, he must be taking different paper from me lah. Won't so heng one ...' 

 

(*My examination hall is the venue of more than 2 different exam papers.) 

 

So I went into the examination hall thinking nothing about it... until I saw the first part of the last question.

 

Now it seems very familiar...

 

 

That freaking question costed ELEVEN marks! 

 

 

Arghhh!!!

 

 

Morale of the story:

 

REMEMBER to ask your friends (who go lectures) for tips before exams!

 

 

Together In Electric Dreams

Giorgio moroder / phil oakey

I only knew you for a while
I never saw your smile
’til it was time to go
Time to go away (time to go away)
Sometimes it’s hard to recognise
Love comes as a surprise
And it’s too late
It’s just too late to stay
Too late to stay

We`ll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We`ll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Because the friendship that you gave
Has taught me to be brave
No matter where I go i`ll never find a better prize
(find a better prize)
Though you’re miles and miles away
I see you every day I don’t have to try
I just close my eyes, I close my eyes

We’ll always be together
However far it seems
(love never ends)
We’ll always be together
Together in electric dreams

Sunday

This morning when I opened newspaper, I saw the first FIVE stars movie review I ever saw on Zao Bao - The Producers . Wondering what the story is about, planning to watch it 2 weekends later, and hoping it's not another Brokeback Mountain. Inside Man also not bad - 4 stars... The week after?

 

My dad's Honda Civic was 'langa'ed at the back by another car, so he brought back a temporary Toyota equivalent, and I got a chance to test drive it. Here's the comparision:

 

1. Corolla's pick up is faster and more powerful (Honda's VTEC engine is better at high speed, say >100kph, though).


2. Its suspensions are softer*.


3. Its tyres are quieter (fiction lesser also).


4. Its turning radius is smaller. 


5. Its steering is harder.

All in all I like my dad's Civic better - it looks sleeker. 

 

(*Suspension softer means it's more comfortable crossing humps but you can't go too fast during cornering - unless you want the person in the back seat to slide from one side to another.)       

 

Afternoon studied in Shaw Tower's Starbucks. Normally it's a nice and quiet place to study, sipping Mocha Frappuccino at the same time. But today got a boy and a girl talking at the table behind me and their conversation is projected to me very clearly due to the structure of the shop... and I can't help but listened. 

 

The way they talked chinese seems very familiar (almost perfect Singaporean chinese), and I continued to 'eavedrop'... They were discussing about benzene (hmm... chem students?), then about teacher teaching 红楼梦 until they fall asleep (红楼梦?  X老师?) and blah blah blah until they finally revealed they were from TJ studying LEP. Makes me think of the good old JC days with my LEP classmates. My classmates also talked like them in JC...

 

In the evening, while I was shopping in NTUC, the radio station broadcasted the song Together in Electric Dreams...

 

I almost forgot the dance steps.

 

Foward together, back together, left together, right together...

 

 

Year 4 Specialization

The descriptions 粗心大意,  不拘小节, 讨厌琐碎事 somehow doesn't equate to (or is it 'relate' or 'associate'?) to a Nano-Engineer leh.

 

Heck lah. Who cares??

 

明知山有虎，偏向虎山行。

 

Anwz now worry about exams first. Better go study now.

 

继续往牛角尖的那个 atom 钻去 ...

 

 

Birthday Horoscope

Very inaccurate.

 

It's hard to find such an inaccurate horoscope you know. Feel free to take a look. =)

1月21日 先锋者

在1月21日出生的人，总是以迈向巅峰为目标，一旦达到目标后，也都会知道该如何保持在巅峰状态。然而，在他们真正了解自己的野心之前，可能已经承受了许多无可名状的挫折。这些人可以说是具有巨大驱策力的坚毅个体，不过在他们失去方向的时候，本性中喜欢玩乐的一面就会浮现，转而滨管他们的时间与精力。在这天出生的人，如果可以整合内在的双重个性，就会成为其中的佼佼者。然而，许多在这天出生的人，就像钟摆一样周而复始地，在轻松与紧张的状态之间摆荡，似乎很难在两者之间取得平衡。 今天出生的人无论男妇，早晚都会涌丙领导的欲望。一旦他们在自己所选择的领域中成功地到达颠峰，再要他们放弃，可就非常困难了。即使是陷于与自己的兴趣相违背、健康状态每况愈下、年华老去、甚至工作本身没什么乐趣的情况下，都还是无法让他们放弃自己既有的地位。如果他们真的从赖以本身的高枝上走下来，通常都是由于内心喜爱玩乐的本性，缓和了咄咄逼人的竞争本质所致。 大部分在这天出生的人，并不适合作长期的领导人，因为他们缺乏领导人所必备的冷酷与内在权威。这样的人也不适合从事高度政治化或独裁化的职业，真正适合他们的，是那些可以在才能和技术上不断精进而达到最佳状态的事业生涯。 在1月21日出生的人拥有浓厚的明星气质，总是不断吸引别人接近。他们不仅在工作领域中领导潮流，在社交生活中，也同样独领风骚。同时，因为他们在待人接物上的手腕特别高明，只要一提出看法或建议，通常都具有高度的说服力。 在这天出生、且在社会上居处高位的人，通常都具有平易近人的共同特质，因此得以融入各行各业的每个阶层之中。他们令人激奋、多彩多姿又热情奔放的天性，形成了令人难以抗拒的性感魅力。但是这样的物质，往往也令他们背负着“负心”的罪名。在一些最好只是挥挥衣袖告别的情况下，却因为他们表现得过于关心，而伤害了有心人。不过，即使相遇的时间很短暂，大部分的朋友与爱人还是会对这样的邂逅无怨无悔，因为他们的魅力丰富了那段彼此共度的时光。 对于他们的公众生活，在这天出生的人是有些隐密，他们很少会让自己的公众生活与私生活混在一块。不论是温馨的家园或是安静的避风港，通常只为少数经过特许的人敞开大门。他们最大的总是可能是考虑自己真正想要从生命中获得什么。在人生目标确定之前，他们就像萤火虫一般，此出彼没，四处飘荡。 塔罗牌 大秘仪塔罗牌的第21张是“世界”，牌面上有一位女神手持权杖在奔跑，她拥有无尽的力量，穿越全世界以展示真理。这张牌表示，在这个星球上没有什么是得不到的。这张牌正立时的解释是报酬优厚、人格正直；牌面倒立时则指出巨大的障碍、精神涣散以及自怜的性格。 静思语 在当下将力量集中于内在，经由不断的练习，准备在必要时往前迈时的能力。 优点 具吸引力、多彩多姿、开朗。 缺点 犹疑不决、耽于逸乐、容易伤害人。

I am studying...

Just discovered that studying in a empty Lecture Theatre while talking cock with 3 friends and listening to baroque music (not mine though) through the LT's surround sound system in the middle of the night can be so enjoying. Peace.

What Do People Envy About You?

 

 

People Envy Your Ingenuity

You're a person with unique ideas, big plans, and a zany outlook on life. Many people look to you for inspiration. People envy your creativity and "who cares?" attitude. They feel very ordinary next to you - and they usually are!

 

What Do People Envy About You?

 

Sure or not??

 

 

Oh no!

According to our research, you'll be dead by

December 2060 at age 78

- probable cause -

cancer

WHY YOU DIE? 56% cancer 24% car accident 13% loneliness 5% drowning of the lungs 2% wounds You have 19985.3 days left on this earth. You've already lived 30% of your life.   http://www.okcupid.com/death

Today's song

If you listen to 933, you will know that there's a new song by some unknown singer with the same title - 好了歌. Maybe you would like to listen to this song which was composed by my favourite lyricist 梁文福 years and years ago and compare which one is better?

 

Anwz the original 好了歌 is a zen-philosopy 词 by 跛足道人 in 《红楼梦》. Brings back memories of the JC days where we study《红楼梦》until we almost commit suicide. Dedicate the song to my JC classmates and those who read the Red Chamber before.   

 

 

Campus Super Star

If you ask me where my loyalty lies, this:

 

            Or this:               

 

Given that both contestants are equally good, I'll hesitate a while before saying that...

I'll OF COURSE support one from my school rather than a sweet looking girl lah!

 

(despite the fact that I hesitated for a while. =P)  

Good job Zhiyang! You've done us proud!

 

(Hmmm... I won't put your picture here. I don't want to see you everytime I come to my blog =)
