Went for my physics lab today. Wasn't sure about the location so I walked around until I saw this lift. Waited for the lift to come and noticed this well-dressed lady with a guy beside her. I din give much thought about it but when I entered the lift with the couple (not necessarily couple as in couple), they started talking about it. The guy did not seem to be in the same lab group so they started discussing.
F: Juz give some crap reasons about why you cant make it the last lab blah blah blah....
M: Ya I will say "for some unforseeable reasons I can't make it to the....."
Then the woman started break out laughing.... Omg what a bimbo. Why are you laughing at this kind of things...
Then we reached the level then I realised they were in the same lab group as me. The woman noticed some kinda chinese new year decoration on the door and said:
"Why they wanna put this kinda disgusting chi na stuffs on the door"
Omg... isn't she a chinese? How could she say this kind of things.
She entered the lab and started to write her name in the attendance list. I was the next one but I did not really read her name. Then the TA started to read out the list to tick the name. One by one he called out names. Until her name, he called out "Sandy".
Hey.... That rang a bell... Sandy sounds familar? I was damn curious and peeped at the attendance sheet. Sandy Chua. Ha. Miss Singapore??
I cant believe it man. What is the probabilty of having Miss Singapore in the same lab group as you. On second looks she really looks like Miss Singapore.
I am sure the next question to ask is, is she chio?
I do not really think so. Its just that she knows how to dress and make up. A lot of make up. A lot of powder. Enuff to bake a cake haha. But just feel that she looks kind of bimbo. Sounds kinda bimbo and I hate her laughther. Ok. Nuff said. Before somehow she find my blog haha.. Posted at 12:55 am by quantize

My hp has this problem with the "2" and "8" key. When I press the button once, sometimes randomly the hp registers it as two presses. So when I am typing sms on phone, I hav to pause for a moment when I key a, b or c because the intended character may not appear right.
Now when I type on keyboard, sometimes I have this tendency to pause at typing the character "a". Omg.....

The momentum of schooling has somehow started. Warm up have been done and ready for another sem full of work. But the old rule applies: To all NUS students, please dun work so hard.
Have noticed since the day I was in NUS that there is the problem of staff or students alike, don't like to hold the lift door for other people. I personally find it rather disturbing about why people refuse to use a little tiny bit of energy just to press the "open" button on the lift so that people that are coming in can come in without the door hitting them at anytime. Basic courtesy. Shame on you.
How much energy does it take to move your hand towards the open button at the lift panel? Fyi, the open button is at the bottom of the lift panel, not like the floor buttons, which are at the top. If you need to go by conservation of energy, since you can press the upper floors button, you can use lesser energy to actually press the open button. The button requires some how little energy to hold the pressed position. Lesser than the amount of energy you use to talk in lectures and even press the little handphone buttons on your handphone.
Picture this, even though pressing the "open" button on the lift require a little more energy to hold it there than press a single button on your handphone, you must realise that to type a 50 character sms, you need press like say 75 times of handphone keypad if you are using predictive text input. Without predictive text input, around 120 buttons need to be press. So how many sms do you send a month? Since you got the energy to type those smses, you can actually hold on to the "open" lift button.
How often can you see those guys dressed in shirt and pants just stand on corner in the lift when people are still moving in the lift and he refused to press on the open button? Moving your hand will make your shirt untidy? Or those young ladies dressed to go orchard with make up all that, prefer to act pretty and refuse to press the open button? Sometimes even two people in the lift standing on the left and right, both near the panel, and both refuse to take the responsibility to press on the open button? And the crowd moves in the lift and halfway through, the door closes, and someone has to rush to open the open button. Sometimes the door hits someone. Maybe it doesn't hurt, but the point is that there is a button to press to prevent such accident. Why not use it? Like toliet seats. Since there is a toliet seat, you can just use it, instead of sitting directly on the toliet bowl.
What's wrong with pressing the button? Didn't not your parents teach you that? Or that what your parents teach only applies at your HDB flat? Or you are a spoil landed property brat that doesnt use lift? Or school doesn't need courtesy? Is it a joy to see people hit by closing lift doors?
Disappointing undergrads. Rude staff. Pui..... Posted at 05:31 pm by quantize

Too busy recently to update blog. Leave some lyrics here:
Kung Fu Fighting (Carl Douglas)
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting
Those kids were fast as Iighhing
In fact
it was a little bit fright'ning
But they fought with expert timing.
There were funky China-men from funky China-Town
They were chopping them up
they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Chinese art and everybody knew their part
From a faining to a slip and a kicking from the hip.
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting
. . .
There was funky Billy Chin and little Sammy John
He said: Here comes the big boss (Uh-Huh)
let's get it on
We took the bow and made a stand
started swayin' with the hand
A sudden motion made me skip
now we're into a brand-new trip
Everybody was Kung Fu Figthing
. . .
Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting
Those kids were fast as lightning
In fact
it was a little bit fright'ning
Make sure you got expert timing. Posted at 12:56 pm by quantize

Argh... today I bought a lapmate wireless mouse also. Damn cock up mouse.
1) Not responsive, insensitive.
2) Got this built in charger in the mouse, which had this usb port that can pop in and out on the mouse itself. But how am I supposed to charge the battery for 8 hours straight? On my laptop juz to charge the batteries?
haha... was thinking there was this extension usb cable so y not i plug in the mouse to charge and use at the same time?
3) Wireless mouse became wired mouse.
4) Uses up two usb port. One for charging battery one for receiver. Omg...
5) It cannot accept any surface as mousepad. Was suprised because I had another lapmate wired mouse which had very good optical sensor which works with every surface. Didn't lapmate used the same optical sensor for their mouses?
6) Driver was in a diskette! bloody diskette. Who nowadays uses diskette. And its website didn't have drivers for download.
7) Mouse was bloody heavy
8) Had hard clicking buttons. So hard to click that while clicking, you would have tend to moved the mouse.
9) It was a pain reading its manual. Wonderful english. I wonder if they actually go and ask people to proof read the manual.
Bought it for $42.90 when the original price was $55 at funan challenger. Thought was a great buy. But...
Pop out usb charging port! Cool eh??
Cute mouse
Wired wireless mouse
Grrrr......

When out with this friend today and he told me that his friend is going to recommend him to some business to do. So first reaction is to ask him what kind of business it is. My friends said that he did not really any details about the deal. So first thing I thought was, hey must be multi-level marketing shit. So we agreed that if it was multi-level marketing, we would leave early.
So we meet this guy called daniel at raffles place mrt station. He was wearing this shirt and pants combi like some sorta working class people. He wasn't really close to my friend, just met him through a kinda adventure camp. My friend even said, "eh... i tink i forgot how he looks like.." Haha.
First impression is that he was very hospital and friendly. Very politically friendly. Shake hands, introduced himself and first question to ask me was, "What are you doing now?".
"Studying in NUS now."
I bet he do not even know what it means to be an NUS student. He is just an 18 yrs old pre-ns young poly kid. Haha..
He start talking friendly and we do not even know where he is bringing us to. Just walk and walk. Ocasionally he would start taking out his 7610 hp keying some msgs or answering short hp calls. Until we reached la pau sat and he asked us to sit down for a tea. The tea. Remember cause the tea is a very important part of this deal.
First thing he started talking about doing business. He said life was very unpredictable and asked what occupation our dad did. Then he started talking about himself. Yes, the "story of himself that everyone should listen and learn". He said his dad was a welder and was earning fine until he get retrenched. Haha... I almost burst out laughing. Not that i wasnt compassionate but I was wondering how many people did he tell this story to before meeting us.
Next was the money picking story. He said, "If you saw a 10 and a 5 dollar bill on the ground, which would you pick up?" I choose the 10 bill and he said, "haha of course I would pick up both!" hmm... alright... sounds logical to pick up both. So he started this crap about you cannot depend on one main job to earn money, you need to do some business outside also. See? Earn more money that way. Haha.. bullshit.
After all this bullshits (I would say its the build-up to convince us cock stories because there are more stories ahead), he started drinking his hot tea. Haha... Suspecting something admist, I started to ask more about what's the business about. He said his leader would tell us more about it when he comes. Haha.. leader... Super suspicious sial. Cult leader? Motivator? He would be trying to avoid our question. Whenever we asked, he would say the leader would be in a better position to explain. Or that there is no hurry to know. Or don't worry I assure you that you wouldn't regret coming and all those shit. But we insisted that since its something that isn't wrong then why not say something about it. Like say is it about selling things? Or e-commerce thing?
He insisted in avoiding the question. And the best way was saying,
"wow the tea sucks here!"
"the tea bloody hot, need ice cube"
"next time dun drink tea here"
Haha... bullshit. How many times have you brought your potential "clients" here to drink tea? The tea was a great shield I think. No matter what sensitive question we asked, the tea can be used to divert attention. Like some qi gong thing.
We persisted in asking, he he persisted in complaining about the tea. Or continuing his welding dad story and also how his electric supplies was cut because he couldn't pay the bills. Machiam tcs. Until there was this awakard slience, he decided to stop his tea and bring us to the place. Yes the place "somewhere near".
The place we tried to ask where it is at and he kept on saying "somewhere near". So I was quite dulan and I said
"No matter what place is that, it should have a name right?"
So he bo pian said "CDL building". So if you guys got led to that place, beware. And so abadoning the lau pa sat, we started to go CDL building. On the way there, we met this two little teenagers. Most prob in their 16s or younger. This guy with a child like face and another short guy with long dyed hair. Like some small bengs. Cannot make it. They were daniel's friends. Also in the system. Yea, the "system". One guy said, "wah this daniel guy ah i tell u, very capable ah!" Haha... of course he is lah. Welding story, friendly and tea drinking. I would never thought of that sial.
We made our way to the first level of the CDL building and once we opened the door, it was like WOW. When you think all offices have closed and no one is working except for old uncle security guards, inside was like bustling with activity! Tables with chairs and people sitting in groups, like some orientation camps but except there were people of all shape and size, the "leader" of the group would be explaining like some motivation talk and the others would listen intently.
Some kinda cult. Haha would be able to cheat young bengs or guilible people, not me. After brought to a table, we were asked to sit down. I tried to sit on a chair near to a wall, but daniel said, "This chair is for the leader, sorry can you sit on another chair". Wow... wtf... the chair gotta mean something! Its like 6 chairs to a round table. What is so special about this chair near the wall? So that the "leader" got a phychological advantage over us? Or the chair has got some secret button that when pressed, the others sitting down would be injected with some kind things to make us drowsy?
Ok fine. I sit another chair. I wasn't really pissed to be down here. I knew by the look of the place, I wouldn't wanna join them. I was quite interested at how they wanna brain wash me. Then Daniel started to call his "leader".
"Ya I am downstairs already. You can come down"
Wow so that means there is an upstairs. I dun what to expect upstairs sial. Downstairs is already so exciting haha. Upstairs would require some tight security I supposed. Everything is so secretive haha. He said he would be down shortly and started to talk a bit about what the business thing is about. He opened his mouth and said,
"This is actually a multi-level........."
ah ha! MULTI-LEVEL MARKETING shit! Omg we have wasted our blody time here. We listened about him talking about this is not like normal multi-level marketing, about its not about sales. Haha if its not about sales, then why are you so good in sweet-talking? I pity his girlfriend if he got one. We said we aren't people that are suitable in talking so we do not really wanna join this "system". Yup he said its this "system" that earns money. Wow... haha.. I said,
"sales is not impt in this system? But I must say you have done a good job in selling this idea to us"
Good, but not enough to brainwash me. He kept insisting that we do not know anything about MLM(multilevel marketing) and asked us to stay to listen to the leader when he comes. So we gave him a 5mins deadline and that if within 5mins the leader doesnt come, we will go. I actually wanted to listen what kind of shit the leader have to say, but I got better things to do so I patiently waited the 5mins. He was so bloody persistent and kept on saying and saying. I kept on arguing and arguing. I like arguing in a peaceful and sarcastic manner.
Until he buay tahan need his "leader's" help. He said there are also NUS people that came and earn a lot and bullshit! He also pointed to this random person and say "U see him so quiet, also can do this things mah". Wow what shit sial! I tell you he is good. haha! I enjoyed suaning him, this 18 yr old pre-ns kid trying to kid me the undergrad?
5mins up and we tried to leave, his face turning a bit pissed. He still tried saying polite words to make us stay, repeating those nice words again. Ah! I have enough. I just walked out with my friend. Amazingly he was as persistent and followed. All the way to raffles place mrt. omg stop bugging us! He still asked for more contacts from my friend. Omg.
At the station he was too polite when sending us off. Too polite. Shake hands twice even. Omg I tried to shake his hands at his office but his hands kept holding his hp. What shit sial. I hate this kind person. So fake. How can I trust to do work for him? Buzz off. I am not a carrot. I refuse to get chopped by you. Mark me, I shall earn more than you in the future. I be following my interest. Go away. I shall be more successful than you.
Anyway I can only say thanks for entertaining me in this boring night haha... Anyone wanna chase him in case he cheated your money, read this entry for evidence. Posted at 12:00 am by quantize
