Was having tea break with my friend when I received the call from AL. It really surprised me, but comforting. As I wan't in a good position to talk, I didn't talk so much. Just told him that I'm not motivated. Then the dept finally give us the exam grades, all along I thought we only know pass/fail. I got something that's only better than a fail. Well,I can't expect much. Mr BLOG

First draft on my progress report:

  1. I managed to burn more CD as my office PC has a CD writer
  2. I managed to get a Sony Clie, tested it capatbility
  3. I managed to burn more MP3 CDs for my friends.
  4. Managed to entertain my friend from Singapore.
Mr BLOG

Everybody will always say tat they dunno wat to write in a progress report. Cause in the asian culture, we are not "programmed" to "boast" our own achievements. So subconsciously, we will never be able to know wat we can write in a progress report. If u read the progress report of an ang mor, they will even write things like "I managed to peel an orange all by myself". Maybe hongaila can start thinking like an ang mor..... Easier to write progress report DC

My sup always told me, he's not going to emphasise on school work, just a pass will be enough, any assignment just spend at most 2 days to do it. If you can't finish all in 2 days, just turn whatever you have! And yet, the assignment he gives is so damn difficult. Out of 5 questions I could only finish 2 in one day, one of which I copied from the other. So according to what he said, I should stop before tomorrow ends. Mr BLOG

Anyway, the weather here's getting warmer and warmer. Now I could just wear a jacket witrh t-shirt. The weather chaaged really fast. I was still wearing the extra warm, extra warm but ultra light outfit, (enough for me to go south-pole any time) a few weeks ago. Without me noticing it, it's now sping time. Thinking back the past winter, I did things I wouldn't have imagined last time. That's the good thing of having 4 seasons, when it's time for you to change your closthes, it's time for you to think back what the things happened in the past few months. You would plan what you are trying to achieve in the next season. But now, I seriously do not know what I'm going to do, neither I'm not going to plan for it, even for the next season. But I knew that I'm going to pay for the 2nd instalment of my school fee. Mr BLOG

Got this email from my NS friend, complaining on my MO the late time. Hi all, So I'm sick and went to see a doctor at Clementi Polyclinic after work, the closest night clinic to Bt. Timah & after waiting for almost an hour it was my turn to see the doctor and guess who it was? None other than our dear MO Dr. Daniel Chxx...!!! I almost choked on my phlegm...ha ha Anyway he remembered me, and asked 'if I was one of his medics"? He's lost weight, but still as ku niang as before... cannot stand him! We were talking about what he's doing at the night clinic (just helping out, close to where he lives) and his reservist battallion is 621 so if you can stay away coz' Choon Hwee was posted there as well.....eeeee! Wait I go back must call him Sgt.!! :-( Of course Daniel Chxx still got a CB mouth, comment on me living in a private condo and coming to a polyclinic to "clog up the system".... wah, cannot stand him! So bloody inappropriate.... That's all for today, I am still a little sick so I'm gonna go rest. Azmi, congratulations again...hope you're HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY :-) Melvyn, I LOVE SNOW wish I was in Boston last week....can you believe 5 years in US and I haven't experienced a blizzard like that before? Take care, It was so sweet to think back things happen in the past, especially things you dun recall even when you are free. Mr BLOG

Today yet another of my friend told me... I shouldn't done that. It really made me ask the question again (over and over again)... have I done the wrong thing? I guess only one person can answer, and I dun think that person will not answer the question, forever. Mr BLOG

Was reading the book Tuesday with Morrie. I first know of this book from the newspaper. After I ordered from the local book store, it took them another 3 weeks to deliver to my room via DHL. Surpisingly, the book is not very think and I can understand every single word in the book. I guess a normal person could just finish it in an hour. Mr BLOG

Why is it that when I do something, someone will tell me "Well, there nothing wrong with it, just go ahead..." and yet some other people will say "You shouldn't have done it, you should wait...". Why do I always have answer of 2 extremes? Argh....! Mr BLOG

Was doing things for the meeting to be held later of the day. I did it since yesterday (sunday) until now, with minimal sleep. Started to feel everything is so unfamiliar. It's difficult to carry on. But what to do? I still need to carry on. That's life. Mr BLOG

Well, have not updated this blog for 2 days. That's the longest period I've ever had. It did some bug fixing and rearrangement for this weblog. I myself need re-organisation, re-focus. Hope that I can survive through this round. Mr BLOG

Alwys wanted to write this down, but eitehr I forget or I got no mood to post. You know, over here the society activities are damn serious. When they go for meeting or some thing, the exco same to wear formal clothes, black pants, shoes; shirt with a common colour. Just the last friday, I saw people of engineering club holding their AGM at a room near to a pantry. Then from friday even to sat. whenever I went to fill up my water bottle, I always see them talking. nonstop. All the way up til sat around 8pm. Then they started packing things up. Oh. My god, they have the AGM as long as 24 hrs! My friend told me, this kinda meeting as become as long as 3 days. Towards the end, audience will just talk anything they like, not neccessarily related to the meeting, they just ask for the sake of asking. And some even taped down the video and put it up. Mr BLOG

just posting to make sure i am in the correct place :P Apparently the mail u received from Mr Williams Daniel is one of the many variations of the Nigerian Mail Scam, which originally started out as snail mail, but of course, conmen also get more techno savvy. The US Secret Service used to track down these coocoos, until they got so rampant that they dun wanna handle it any more :P All you need to do when you receive is read, laugh, and press the delete button :P Mr SecretService

Got the following at my univ a/c FROM: MR WILLIAMS DANIEL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO. REPLY TO EMAIL ADDRESS: williamsd1@rediffmail.com Dear Friend, SEEKING YOUR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE. Please Permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trust wordy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I will crave your indulgence and pray that you view it seriously. My name is MR Williams Daniel of the Democratic Republic of Congo and One of the close aides to the former President of the Democratic Republic of Congo LAURENT KABILA of blessed memory, may his soul rest in peace. Due to the military campaign of LAURENT KABILA to force out the rebels in my country, I and some of my colleagues were instructed by Late President Kabila to go abroad to purchase arms and ammunition worth of Twenty Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only (US$20,500,000.00) to fight the rebel group. But when President Kabila was killed in a bloody shoot-out by one of his aide a day before we were schedule to travel out of Congo, We immediately decided to divert the fund into a private security company here in Congo for safe keeping. The security of the said amount is presently being threatened here following the arrest and seizure of properties of Col. Rasheidi Karesava (One of the aides to Laurent Kabila) a tribesman, and some other Military Personnel from our same tribe, by the new President of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the son of late President Laurent Kabila, Joseph Kabila. In view of this, we need a reliable and trustworthy foreign partner who can assist us to move this money out of my country as the beneficiary. WE have sufficient ''CONTACTS'' to move the fund under Diplomatic Cover to a security company in the europe in your name. This is to ensure that the Diplomatic Baggage is marked ''CONFIDENTIAL'' and it will not pass through normal custom/airport screening and clearance. Our inability to move this money out of Congo all This while lies on our lack of trust on our supposed good friends (western countries) who suddenly became hostile to those of us who worked with the late President Kabila, immediately after his son took office. Though we have neither seen nor met each other, the information We gathered from an associate who has worked in your country has encouraged and convinced us that with your sincere assistance, this transaction will be properly handled with modesty and honesty to a huge success within two weeks. The said money is a state fund and therefore requires a total confidentiality. Thus, if you are willing to assist us move this fund out of Congo, you can contact me through my email address above with your telephone, fax number and personal information to enable us discuss the modalities and what will be your share (percentage) for assisting us. I must use this opportunity and medium to implore You to exercise the utmost indulgence to keep this Matter extraordinarily confidential, Whatever your Decision, while I await your prompt response. Thank you and GodBless. Best Regards MR WILLIAMS DANIEL It looked scary. Mr BLOG

Scounted around for a few blogs. They have something good, but something bad. Like it's not easy for multi-users blog. Some has the concept of comments on a particular posting (like slashdot) but they dun show the comments by default. Will search for it again at my own free time. Mr BLOG

Have been thinking to shift this blog to another blog host. Scouted around, and some can even enable ou to add in comments specific to a post (more to slashdot style). This maybe good for people in this blog.

This weekend, I didn't go back home. I'm trying to ctach up for everything. Lately I finally realise that research equates 'loneliness'. You need to isolate yourself, in a oom with nobody, forget everything surrounding yourself in order to produce some decent thing. Mr BLOG

These 2 days, I'm trying to code some standard iimplementation out. Dun expect that when it's standard implementation, it would be easy. It's totally beyond one can imagine. You just can't map the thing you are coding to a concrete thing in life. The data structure is something that cannot does not exist within our imagination. I really had a hard time coding and debugging. Can say now its about 70% finsihed, with only one simple test case. Mr BLOG

As for me, 2am seems to be the limit for me nowdays, and I wake up late in the morning. I'd better find a good soltion to it. Mr BLOG

Have been in PRC for this CNY. The trip can be summarised as just Lunch, big2 and mahjong and Dinner, lunch.....dinner... lunch. There was fireworks near my house also. But I just found it the same for every fireworks. The return trip is a terrible thing. I was stuck in a place, 10 metres in width, 50 metres in length, all jammed with people's heads, before i can pass the immigration. It was an eye-opener for me. Mr BLOG
