Recently, I've been playing my friends out. Rather frequently.

So much so that I've been called PS(DD). Or Pang Seh (Dua Dua).

What's wrong with me??

I need to stop this. Help.

Anyone thinks that the income ceiling of 8k for HDB is ridiculous??

I think i'm in need of some intellectual stimulation, so i'm considering going for night classes at NUS. Anyone interested in joining me? We can start shopping for classes together. =D

(i just realized that most of people in this small LJ community is overseas. who's left in sg???)

My First "Pilot" Experience!

The Piper warrior looks like this:

Nine more sorties to go!

Assuming a linear decrease in my bond value, I earn abt 220 bucks a day towards my bond!

That makes my monthly salary over 10k! Woo! what a great way to look at your bond...

=D

For astar scholars, you earn even more!! Woohoo!

I'm more than halfway home! And I just spent the last 2 hours in Hong Kong International Airport... another 2 more hours to go. damn it.

And I am feeling extremely BORED!

and wireless internet doesn't work here, which means that I'm limited to a 15-min standing, station, and the connection is excruciatingly slow. GGGrrrr.

Almost back! who else is in Singapore?

This is a cheap thrill, literally. The website gives you 10 cents, and you can use it to bet on whatever games are going on. Right now, it's Euro 2008. I bet 20c and won 40c on the Portugal game! What amazing odds.

But that's for starters. The odds get normalized once you're into serious betting (and serious amounts).

So I think it exploits the gambling-ban in US by providing you the money, and not allowing you to deposit your own. And you get to cash out once you reach $20. All ad-sponsored.

Interested? Click below and try! Become my crony and I can earn a little bit off you. =D

This is what I had for dinner:

BBQ Bacon Sirloin - 1010 calories
Bacon Cheddar Potato Wedges - 720 Calories
Seasoned Curly Fries - 400 Calories
Medium Diet Coke - 0 calories

Total: 2130 calories

Wow. I exceeded the RDA recommended daily intake in one meal. It's no wonder I'm getting somewhat pudgy...

So I'm thinking that I'll probably build a gaming/entertainment PC when I get back to Singapore, and should I consider LINUX? (if my primary business with that computer is to game, probably not huh? and I should wait for the new XP OS)

In any case, for 25 reasons why one should convert to Linux:

http://www.bellevuelinux.org/reasons_to_convert.html

P.S.
I know PC gaming is really silly, but there is this game that I'm gonna buy (Crysis) and I'm thinking that a good multimedia system will still be cheaper than a PS3 (+HDTV). And I should play my Hellgate London at full specs too...
Did I mention that my brother bought a Wii?

For geeks, you may find these articles extremely amazing.

http://www.scienceray.com/Mathematics/Examples-of-Fibonacci-Numbers-in-Nature.125307

Fact or fiction? Someone go do some measurements and tell me...

http://www.sandia.gov/news-center/news-releases/2004/images/jpg/z-machine.jpg

Remember the huge reactor that was shown in Iron Man? This looks somewhat familiar. Note: this is real, not some photoshop-ed image. It's called a Z-machine. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_machine )

Another cool article I found, as a result of the previous article:

And a special tribute to one of our dearest not-so-human friend: (i am just refering to the first image of the series of course, but the entire gallery is pretty informative and amazing)

I think this is an awesome resource, if you need help with some mathematical subject... It is particularly useful to the engineers among us, since it doesn't delve too much into theory.

http://www.artikel-software.com/blog/2006/10/11/applied-mathematics-advanced-mathematical-methods-for-scientist-and-engineer/

However, it is written by a student at Caltech, so it is possible that there are errors.

It's been a long while since i actually updated this LJ.

So, I passed my comprehensive oral exam! Yay. But I feel so stupid and defeated after the entire exam.

couldn't even derive the most basic of laws through the most basic of principles. wth.

To think i spent so much time on all those self-similarity shit and all the stupid vorticity stuff.

DAMN. I need to get my basics right.

I feel so happy that it's all over, but I can't help but feel that the professors just just being nice, and think that it's a waste of time to fail me, and have me take up their previous time.

Next, I have a project to complete. Coupled with a ten-page report. Wish me luck!

Wow. He looked a little scary, and he was extremely loud too.

Oh how he reeked of alcohol...

Space Travel!

2008-01-30T02:40:50Z

How cool is that?

There's now Virgin Galactic, and they are accepting bookings for their commercial flight up into space... Think the first flight's scheduled at the end of this decade.

If you're feeling filthy rich, go ahead. It's only the price of a college education.
