proj aiko

Was watching some program today and learnt about something pretty cool.
Project Aiko.
When Science Meets Beauty
Initially the I felt the concept of it was really pretty HMM freaky.>.<

But if you watched A.I. (Artificial Intelligence), you would find it pretty cool and intriguing. For Aiko, its actually built-in with software- BRAINS(Bio Robot Artificial Intelligence Neural System) which controls speech, reading, maths, vision, colours, hearing, automation and sensors. I would say this is one of the closer inventions of a robot trying to mimic part of human behaviour.

Alrights, besides this O_O invention, I only managed to revise my phys chem and bits of reason n persuasion today. Having a flu srsly kills studying efficiency to a large extent.):
Tutorials and lab starts next week. I just pray I will survive them all.

FLU BUG pleasepleaseplease leave me, please.-.-

Nic: No I meant I wasnt free on the 7th, can we have it on 31st Jan tmr instead? Oh and I heard from hoe that he is planning something tmr(: whee

lulu: RAR you have regained your PINK ic how long ago alr. How's work??(: oh is jiesheng super busy w mugging for his med tests?

Ad: stop reading and bumming arnd. HAHA

week three.

week three

Time seriously just flew by, its already week three and work is piling up fast. I need to start mugging even though its barely three weeks into the start of the semester.): I need to stop going out, I need to stop wasting time, I need loads of discipline.

The joke of the day:

Michael : "EH lijun ytd I had a nightmare.."

Me : "Huh how come? What did you dream of?"

Michael : "You know what I dreamt that prof XXX called me up to present qns and when I can't do them, he kept insisting me to redo and called me to present every single question afterwhich." ):

Me : "Mmmhmm.."

You see its only week three and even brilliant uncle mike got NIGHTMARES from prof fan about physical chem.:x I am so dead.

To my jc pals- congrats to you guys because in less than two weeks time, you'll be granted back your PINK IC and enjoy the FREEDOM.(:

Nic: HMM 7thFEB? I actually have another dinner on that day alr:/ why not 31st Jan instead(:

Either that or I'll see what I can do about it bah!):

this is the season for my bahkwa(:

This is the season for my bah-kwa lalala~

Its Chinese New Year yet again. And I'm starting the hols from today(((:
whee I really love cny because its a time for pple to all gather for reunion dinners.

I am falling sick and its bad cos all the newyear goodies are alr in my house.
Pineapple tarts, pkts of bahkwa, love letters and all. RAR
I shall restrain myself till cny, in the meanwhile win the battle w the rar flu bug.

Ate dinner with the chem geeks ytd at ulu bkt timah place(: It was splendid and it was less than ten bucks per person! I srsly thank God for this bunch of people. I think I really took a long time, like around two semesters before getting used to uni life. I realised that maybe that's God way of helping me survive my uni life. Frankly, I didnt really like uni life, probably jc was a hell lot of fun and I really love the people arnd then. But sadly life has to move on, fortunately I met these people during sci orientation in AY07/08. People that tide me through, through choosing mods together, planning timetables together on like the second day of new year. I will always rmb them.
Thank you, jiamin, ck, kk, binglin, chiakeat and esp uncle mike(:
You guys are the best because w/o you guys I think my blur-ness might have killed me. From not knowing how to use cors and helping me monitor the bid for mods.AH we only have like around 2 more sems tog. And its in uni that I realise its not how many zillion friends you have that matter, but really the few that matters, those few that really cares.(:

Haha this sem all of us are in the same lab slot. Lets just hope nothing goes wrong.:x
And bon voyage to jiamin and ck to NTU-taiwan((: Have fun and take good care of yourselves!(:

I just want to thank God because He works in just amazing ways.
I still rmb that I prayed before uni started about all these. And I must say thank God for listening to my prayers, even as small as these.(:

Be joyful always; pray continually;
give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

((:

Happy TWENTY-FIRST Birthday!!(:
To linwan, my best pal and luke, my hurr same-age-cousin-that-is-just-too-smart.

One year older, one year wiser.

Had cousins outing today! Well I must say that you guys are seriously a fun and fabulous bunch of pple((: We ate at Shokudo(yes, so similar to sudoku). Its the first time for me, I felt that it was really pretty cool a concept though the layout was simply messy. Well the food was good, the atmosphere was there and the service was brilliant(:

Then because the TWENTY-ONE year old wanted to ice-skate, we decided to head to KLP. The only thought in my mind was- dont fall down lijun, dont fall down. CONCENTRATE. rar It was really pretty tiring after awhile. But it was pretty fun, skating from a walking style to the gliding-noob advancement.

Last but not least we played bball and daytona! AND GUESS WHAT-I won daytona and the second round of bball.(: Yucks, sometimes I can't stand this competitiveness within myself):

Oh yes, just an update.
My sep application has been approved. Maybe I might really end up going there to learn independence and living in foreign land. Maybe this is what You have installed.
-I surrender all.
And to add on, I might be going for work and travel USA too, which is this coming summer break. Tmr is the interview, I really want to go, but I dont know whether I should go this year or the next. I just pray that You will continue to show me Your way.

Besides that, week one is over. And its been rather pleasant though being this hectic.(:

Thank You.

REUNIONs

I got an intuition, I am going to grow sideways very soon.

Well, let me summarize my eating plans.

16JAN- cousins' reunion cum luke's 21st DINNER

17JAN- s43 + lijun reunion DINNER.
Ahh I am super sorry I can't watch red cliff two w you guys because I promised my other friends to watch with them ages ago.

18JAN- maternal side reunion DINNER
and adriel's 21st DINNER

21JAN- s11 reunion DINNER cum celebrate linwan's 21st(:

22JAN- chem geeks reunion DINNER

23JAN- paternal side reunion DINNER

24JAN- parents birthday DINNER

25JAN- THE ACTUAL REUNION DINNER ON NEW YEARS' EVE.((:

Well, by the time the eve of cny comes by, I would have already have eaten about EIGHT dinners.:x I AM SO GOING TO GROW SIDEWAYS, before I even start on my bah-guas.

Today school was rather insane, but oh wells I am done for the first week of school, tmr's FREE DAY!!(: time to sleep and YAY.

tasks to do:
read-
reason and persuasion text chps 1,3,4.
clayden chp 18
I hope to get my clayden and stats text soon.
that's all I can think of for this weekend. But bad enough for a first week.):

prioritise

Third day of school.
Went for sep briefing. And now I really do not know whether to go for sep or summer program. Well sep will be the better choice, but srsly I have no idea whether I will be selected as the few to go. Summer program on the other hand is only a five weeks commitment and you can clear eight more mcs. Sounds good, with no additional fees but your airticket there and accomodation expenses; but because its either mexico, toronto or the states, its really going to be pretty costly though just for a mere five weeks. HMM.

Went for reason and persuasion lecture one. Its the first time I attend a philosophy lecture in my entire life. It was pretty interesting though I can get kind of lost from time to time and I get pretty frustrated at myself. But thank goodness there is webcast so I can re-watch the moments I blank out or am lost.:x

You can't win an argument.
You can't because if you lose it, you lose it;
and if you win it, you lose it.

I am halfway through the first book of the year.*applause please. Yes and I must say its a pretty thought provoking and really interesting book. Will update more when I come to the end of it.(: Well faith in deed is faith indeed.

my brain is fried.

Yes. My poor brain is fried.
You think the first day will be easier, but its really not the case, sometimes.
I had six hours of lecture today, in which four were back to back. But they were pretty pleasant. Simply because the lecturer was good and made it simple to follow through; though prof was quite disappointed with our standard:x He was real funny, shaking his head time to time as we were not capable of answering most of the many questions.:/

BUT HEY remember the entropy.

I actually think its easier to remember now because of the following sentence:x
"the entropy of your room is high" -prof fan
It simply refers to the room being in a mess/chaotic condition. Definition of entropy being degree of randomness/chaos. HAHA, just so apt for me.

And along came organic, my personal nightmare. Because its just so much more complicated now. So I have to hug clayden to sleep and dream of reaction mechanisms. But thank God, prof was pretty good too(: and hysterical.

Lastly was analytical. It was not as exciting, maybe because it was last on the list. But at least I have a glimpse of what future lectures will be for my core mods.(: and thank God for fabulous lecturers.(:

Besides that it was quite a scare that ALL three started lectures proper and started testing us what we learnt previously, which obviously poof it was not really there today.:x

MY BRAIN IS FRIED. my nose ran a non-stop marathon today, so its time to rest and obtain my vitamin z.

school is in.

Yes tomorrow starts the beginning of yet another semester.
It kinda feels different. A tinge of anxiety, fear of the module to be explored and to find out that it is going to be tough. Yet, an overwhelming sense of order to be instilled, just about soon.

I don't know if all these will take place. Everything is still an unknown. I do not know whether this is the place You want me to spend next semester in. I just pray that You will guide. Tell me this is the place You want me in, the place that You have always tried getting me closer to. In every step of the way, I just surrender all into Your hands.

For I know that
..." For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways," declares the Lord.

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts."

-Isaiah 55:7-8

dilemma.

There's just so many decisions to make.
Whether or not to take up an internship.
Whether to take this or that module.
Whether to do this and forsake that.

I have to stick with my current commitments till I have fulfilled them.
But I really need to prioritise.
So stop pushing me to accept your idea of living into my life.
Because what is important to you might not be, to me.

Alrights, enough of ranting.
I am just being so greedy nowadays that I just feel like eating EVERYTHING. Which is bad. But I know I am just two weeks away from cny where I can binge away((:

I just pray that You will guide me in choosing every decision that I make; because I want to live my life Your way, not mine.

drama(:

THIS IS A RECAP OF most of the HK dramas I watched in 08.XD
amazingly many.BUT HEY they are much better in storyline than most taiwanese/korean dramas which are pretty predictable.:x
to love with no regrets. ten brothers. life made simple. just love.


hard fate. to get unstuck in time. the W files.

triumph in the skies.angels of mission. armed reactions IV.

wars of the in-laws, past and present. when rules turn loose.

life art.

love bond. under the canopy of love. revolving doors of vengence.

wars of beauty. the point of no return. dream of colours.

forensic heroes

the drive of life.

catch me now.

moonlight resonance.

heart of greed

the charm beneath

the silver chamber of sorrows.

I really think that hk dramas are just simply awesome to watch.

And I think the nicer ones are the ones that have a BIGGER pic.:x Because I'm biased.NAH. I really love moonlight resonance and heart of greed which is 溏心風暴. It has a fabulous cast starring the many of my fav actors and actresses with a touching and incredible storyline.(:

Yes, and now I'm currently watching the drive of life. Probably the last drama series before my hols come to an end.X_x.

here we go.

Here we go again, school is about to kick in in 4days time. I can't wait for school to start because it will be back to reality, where stayovers do not happen in a weekly manner; bumming around aimlessly will cease; and say hello to killing trees. But I feel that I have not nuah-ed enough this holiday. Just because december has been a blast. But hey, there's always an end to everything.

I just pray that I will get my modules at a not so costly price, because its only that start of round 2A and there are so many bidders as compared to the vacancy for both my electives:/ Yes, I am rich in a sense because I have so many more points than my peers, but, I still want to have them at a relatively affordable bid point so that I can have more interesting modules next year. rar.

I have been spending these days w my awesome pals, shopping for cny and buying fabulous finds!(:

Had bbq1101 at tng's place ytd. And liwei came up with a warped theory that people that went overseas KNOW how to cook, whereas people that have stayed in S'pore all their lives simply dont. HENG agrees, rar.:x Oh wells, maybe.

OH! happyhappy21st chiam!(: may you have a fabulous year ahead!

and yes, I shall embark on counting how many 21parties I actually attend.:x

nic: my recess week is 21feb-1mar((: FABULOUS. we are so going JB then again HAHA.

packing.

In the midst of packing my room.
and its in the messiest state.:/
I seriously need to hire someone to come help me pack.
throw things away. things that do not matter anymore.

because there is just too much clutter.

Today I just went for my 2nd tightening.:x It was pretty painful and HURR experience. And I finally remembered to ask him about my xray, maybe that's why I've been angsty the whole day. The results ain't good, my wisdom tooth below is slanted and will not grow out properly. But because its too near the main nerve, I can't operate on it, unless it comes out and causes pain. I really do not want to undergo it again):

Besides that, I am one step closer to nice pretty looking straight teeth(:

I just pray that it will never come out.

I think this is such a random post because, thoughts just come and go. And I'm just typing them down. I need to get my ny resolutions done, soon.

Its just one week before order is once again instilled in my life. Holidays are just the messiest times of your life, where life becomes hectic as everyday is packed fully w activities. Yes, I am partially looking forward to the start of school, because its the time that I have the most time to rest and really have time for myself. I just pray that I will get the modules that I have planned for.(:
