Been very busy with tests , hall activities and cca...

1. took a few days without much sleep to make a clam shell which earns KE float an extra of $1500 for our rag and flag!!

2. Signed up for too many first aid duties ....

3. Tests tests tests and the utimate one - EXAMS!!

 

     From Angus and ZY ablog it can be seen that they are under tremendous stress, but I am quite helpless about it ... all I can do is wish u all luck and hopefully the path before u all will some how straighten.

     And BX seems to be having a lot of fun LOL.

     The rest are all mia, well played dota with Alvin a week ago on saturday haha (opps supposed to be studying...). Poh Zhong Hong must be very busy with his WOW expansion.. Didn't manage to see any of the pioneer in school...

 

      OKay it's time to be more organized and study hard, else my CAP this sem is going to suffer a hard blow. As for the rest, good luck !!

Hellooo... just some thoughts...

     The more I study the more I feel that most of reality isn't about black and white, it's about how much black and how much white you have the mixture - in another word, it's just different hues of grey... Many things I learnt in school support this, for instance the ideal gas law which we learnt is never true, statistics tests never give u anything absolute it only gives u the probability, orbitals do not hold electrons all the times it's only 90% that they reside in it, electrons can have both wave properties and particles properties - so are they wave or particles or nope? And finally to make thing worse we have the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle ... which essentially says that there are a pair of observables such as momentum and position which you can know the exact value of both simultaneously ... in addition we have the Godel's incompleteness theorem which says that there exists things that cannot be proven to be true or false .. oh man ...

     That's just examples from science ... in our society such uncertainty also exists, and guess most of us has seen some of them. Backstabbing, exploitation and so on...

     Guess I am facing an identity crisis haha, I am uncertain about what to believe in. I used to believe that saving people is meaningful but on second thought if we do not have the rights to take away somebody's life why do we have the rights to save people?

     Haiz ... Guess that's all for the time being, hope in the future I am able to find my belief ...

     To angus( if u r reading haha): Stop mugging for your GPA of 5!!! Take it easy , just be yourself(opps). Ha anyway really sometimes I feel like it doesn't matter if you can't get that perfect score what matters is you have tried, at least you can have a clear conscience.. guess that applies to other aspects of life beside studying....

 

 

 

    Yep School has started for 1 week, Ha but that's not the point of my first paragraph. The first paragraph is about my dream ... and it's to own a farm somewhere.... yep to be a farmer in peaceful little farm in which I don't have to worry about lack of peace, assesements, competition ... just a simple peaceful life... of course there is a piano in it so I can continue to pursuit my favourite hobby ...

    Well back to reality, study study study ...

 

   

Yep Exam is finally over, and here is a short one month break ... Hopefully this break will be a meaningful one

After the still on-going fiasco with my neighbour on top which has turned from bad to worse, resulting in being "forced out" of my house ...I come to realise how limited I can do ... Yep with the imminent examination, I can't do anything to "teach" those inconsiderate ppl on top how to live more graciously in a HDB flat. Yep complaints don't help much either , HDB is powerless, MP advocates persuasion which obviously had quite an adverse effect as 1 day after they visited those ppl on top, I was bombarded with incessant noises from noon till well who knows when it's still on going although it's 11.30pm now. Haiz.. no time to do anything to them, as the exams are coming ...

 

Lesson learnt - dun take peace and quietness for granted if you r living in a HDB and dun happened to live in the top floor. Be grateful to your neighbours( on top , at the sides ) for giving you peace, as they certainly have the potential to cause destructive nuisance.

 

Yep last blog before exams, cause I will be seeking refuge in a place away from my house for the time being ... A million thanks to my uncle who offered a place for me to have peace for this period. I pray hard really hard that the school will offer me accomodation for next sem.

 

That's all, good luck to all friends who are going to have or having their exam.

I will be back to let them learn to be a considerate neighbour the hard way( of course legally)

 

 

     Ah enough of neighbours on top ... the limits of my patience had already been reached and maybe see them in court soon. Cast that aside first. Yes it's the "MUGGING" season again, the pressures coming everywhere especially on top, well cast that aside. The prospect of this sem looks bleak.. ah just try not to suffer an irrevocable damage to my CAP ... anyway guess the advent of November is giving everybody who's in this academic life Pascal and Torr and Atm and Nm of pressure .... well after this tormenting November will be a month long worth of respite hopefully for everybody.

      Well, tons of thought came to one over this October, first of course it's how inconsiderate people can get ... follow by misunderstanding is indeed the root of conflicts ... and sometimes understanding can be a root of conflict(Yes Neighbour again, Now I do understand). More, friends that understand you are hard to come by, so don't be too fastitdious ... treasure those who treat you like a friend.

      Yep it's raining in my life now, who knows when it will stop ... well it's raining in other people's life also, are we all yearning to see the rainbow after the rain? Can we hold on till that moment come? Are you all alone in this rain? Have you manage to find an umbrella which can afford you some relief? Or you just dun bother to look for an umbrella and believe that the rain will stop soon? Or do you think that the umbrella is unable to provide you with sufficient shelther and you are looking for a rain coat instead?

      Will the person in this rain ever realise that begin fussy and over optimistic will only culminate in him suffering? Will the person understand that the umbrella wants to protect him from this rain, but he must pick up the umbrella and use it?

      Yep who understands?

     

After 3 weeks of depriving me the right to sleep at 11pm, the upcoming holiday signifies the end of my patience towards whoever on top that is making all those noise from 11pm-1am every single day ... action pending...

The solution ... by trial and error haha just joking

The product of their ages is 36, so by trial and error we have (since its their birthday it must be whole number)

PRODUCT  SUM

36 1 1         38

18 2 1         21

12 3 1         16

9 4 1           14

9 2 2           13

6 6 1           13

6 3 2           11 

4 3 3           10

 

Yes there was 13 chairs as a result Angus couldn't decide between 9 2 2 and 6 6 1

Since the eldest is Mary the answer is 9 2 2

Yep any loophole MSN me haha

 

 

 

 

      Yes... I have really met a bunch of inconsiderate idiots..... They are nope other than my neighbours living on top of me. Creating a lot of noise incessantly by hammering of unknown artifacts , droppings of metal rings on the floor, droppings of not known heavy objects and dragging of who knows what .... Yep I practically can heard all this twaddle everyday , with a frequency ranging from non-stop actions to average of 5 times in an hour and frequently can still be heard in wee hour .... Gone are the peaceful days where I can relax in my room and do my stuffs ... and yes I have reached my limits and don't blame me for being mean .... I will deal with them well legally and morally ... any suggestions on how to stop this nightmare and daymare are most welcome and appreciated haha.
     Well stay tune for what retaliative moves I have installed for them ...

     Guess problems are an intrinsic part of our life, problems manifest in various forms but how to define what's a problem? Definition is surely redundant cos' when u encountered a problem u will know that it is.. One thing I realised recently is that tough problem arises sponataneously, and some problems might be inherently simple in nature but the a complete rectification is virtually impossible to achieve. When in such situation should the course of action be to resort to drastic measure or just settle for a compromise? Maybe a utilitarianism approach should be the best but what benefits most ppl might not benefit yourself most so the contradiction occurs and together with ethical and moral issues intertwined and here we have a seemingly insurmountable conundrum. Yep enough of philosophical talks, just want to wish all my friends who are having tough problems in their life all the best and may you see the vestige of light that remains in your world which is engulf by darkness and may it leads you to a solution.

 

      There are things that are integrated into our life and we might not realise its importance until we realize that it's not inseparable from our life. Well, this is also one thing that i seemed to be enlightened recently. Realising that i won't be able to stay in my little comfort (at least until recently) room forever, I have a strange feeling that never occurs to me, huh still wondering what the feeling is. I guess it's a sense of unable to bear with something that is with u for so long a time, a kinda of attachment to inanimate objects. But that's life u have to move forward as directed by time, and some things have to be given up albeit u do not want to. Guess they can only remain in your memory as a chapter in the history of your life, anyway hope that we r able to treasure all the things that are with you but could not or never asked for your acknowledgement.

Okay school started so I'm posting something academic Ha ha Ha.

Disclaimer: Names used here are purely by "chance", so don't blame me if your name is the same as those I used.

BX met Angus one day and

BX said, " I am celebrating the birthdays of my 3 daughters today, Angus can you guess their ages?"

Angus replied," Can I have more information?".

BX pondered and said, "The product of their ages in years is 36.".

Angus thought for awhile and said,"I need more info."

BX said," The sum of their ages is the same as the number of chairs in my dinning room."

Angus stoned for a long time and finally said,"Ahh one more clue?"

BX said,"The oldest of the three is called Mary."

Angus said," Huh haha I got the answer"

 

So what're the ages of BX's daughters?

 

There can be no more real love, than there can be no less contrived feeling.
For in you I found both joy and agony.

For in me I feel both confidence and trepidation.
For in life, is it a contradiction?
The soul who seeks to find the truth in it, the mind which seeks to justify the acts in it and the self which seeks to see itself .
Time may provide an answer, but it's still premature to tell.

          Communication is a very wonderful thing, it allows us to better understand one another. However, I found that a lot of times, people don't really say or do what they really what to, due to the constraint or limitation of external factors. As a result, conflict may arise due to misunderstanding. Of course, they are a lot of straight-forward people who are not afraid to express what they believe or they want. But most of the time, they end up offending the other party, anyway it doesn't really matter if they don't care about it.

 

          One of the interesting parts in communication is to analyze and interpret whether somebody really means they said or did. Of course, it's a very difficult task, which require experience, concentration and skills. Are you the type of person whose expression and intention coincide? or are you one that will compromise your intention through your expression?

 

         Ah.. human communication is such a complex function ... there are times when I don't know whether what a person really saying or doing what he or she wants or it's just perfunctory. Also there are times when I said something I don't want to but hoping that through my non-verbal ques I can get the person to understand. But most of the time I mean what I say, if I don't say means I don't want...

 

         As for now I can continue my observation on communication and hope that I can be a better listener and interpreter.

Huh .. let's see

 

1. Playing mahjong with Angus, BX , SC or Eng huat, haha not so much of winning or losing but because it's fun playing with them. Ha Ha all the stuns that Angus can come out with, all the "swearing", "cursing" and "suaning" adds color to the game.

 

2. Playing my piano. My all-time favorite. Nowaday, it has become my free KTV session. Ah.. and my nocturne op9 no2 still has 1 page left ... dunno when I'm going to finish it.

 

3. WoW. A different experience, got the priviledge to enjoy it cos' of school holiday. I got to live in a fantasy world in which I can do all the things that will only happen in fictional world and of course poh has added a lot of fun to my playing and got to know a lot of poh's friends haha, but sadly school's  starting so maybe good bye to WoW

 

4.Reading. Yep enjoyable if yo have a good book to read such as the one I'm reading on "On Beauty" which is very provoking, makes me think and think...

 

5. Watching movie. If there is a good movie to watch and a good company it'll certainly will enjoyable. I'm lucky ot have both of them in this holiday haha.

 

6. Writing song. 2 incomplete pieces and I ran out of inspiration haha maybe I'll just combine them.

 

7. KTV.  with PnR Platoon guys: there will be a lot of laugther cos' of our "star" singer Chan Zhiyong who never fails to shatter any glasses you can name. Angus who is improving on his FIR haha but ... Sin Chuen who can sing like Andy Lau Wooh.. BX who still hasn't sing his main theme yet. Poh with his loud and high voices and more more more ...

with 4/6 folk: more like a class gathering huh haha and of course we got great singers ( I dun mean me. I suck anyway haha )

 

 

That's all hope I can add more of them to this list : )

Now I know why is it good to have a video recorder , camera built into your phone. It means that you can capture lot of memories convienently, this is especially evident in my 1st ICT(in camp training). lots of fun, laughter capture haha. 3 cheers to Technology or 3 cheers to my nokia 6280 with its Klingston MiniSD card

Yep ICT ended, have an interesting time haha slacker than expected, have a nice time catching up with those whom i had not seen for some times, also have a hard time enduring the incessant bombardment from machine GUN ... LOL

 

Into the World of Warcraft now haha

And the holiday moves on ...

It's time for RESERVICE ..yep going to meet old friends and foes (opps) anyway haha

There is something which if you put in llinear amount of effort you might get an exponential return, but sometimes when you put in exponential amount of effort you might get a linear return or worse zero return ...
