impromptu class outing

ok not exactly impromptu, but it was not bad. quite good actually.

went to NUS yesterday again. first half i was doing a lot of stressing out and being crazy heheh, cos my solidworks seemed to have some settings changed. but not bad le drew alot of things. drew a screw thread, made a rectangular cut on the base of an egg (super streesful part), then actually attached a battery holder with batteries below at the end of the day. so shiok when i finally managed to do that ^^

anyway, after that we left for suntec to eat at astons. not the super ex one la. anyway, it was located around the fountain of wealth. actually, from the direction we were walking, it was located before the fountain of wealth. so me, pin, boon chong and yx walked past the place, walked one round trying to find astons, then realised we walked past it -.-. yep we're too good at doing that XD

while we were walking back towards aston, someone tapped my shoulder, and i turned around and it was adrian :O. damn shocking sia he was pretending to walk along with us. ninja skill + 1 lolz. but the scary thing was, the moment we walked past aston, he followed us, all the way one loop around the fountain and back, and nobody realised. :o. its like a jaesuk-gary moment lolol.

anyway, other than adrian, there was also rong, justin, and cg. the 4 of us newcomers ordered steak lolz. i got confused when the guy asked me what hardness lolz. heh inexperienced at dining >.<.  anyway, the black pepper steak was really nice cause of the sauce and the potato. but i ate too fast without realising it. ur supposed to enjoy the food u paid $13.50 for.... haiz. it was quite torturous to watch them eating slowly, especially yx lor. anyway we took a photo afterwards


after that we decided to walk around cos no one felt like going back yet. we went up one story, and out of the mall and crossed some roundabout which was pretty hard to cross. we saw that the fountain was active again and so we walked down the stairs to see. then we realised we walked another round back to astons o.o. horizontal + vertical loop = NOT BAD :D

anyway, cg really wanted to watch some movie, and we kind of unconsciously walked to the cinema, which was so empty :o. we loitered around there discussing whether to watch, but abit weird to watch so late + pin today go off for england liao, so after quite a long time, we decided not to watch, but instead just go somewhere to sit, so we walked past the fountain (again) and to macs on the other side.

dint really do anything much other than eat ice cream and joke around, but still not bad heh. was a really expensive outing though $16.50 in total for me D:. ah nvm i needed a day like that anyway heh. really lifted my mood :D. ok i zao liao. i think im going out for lunch today cos my mum and sister are home. bye ~~

when will it finally be my turn?

falling in love with japan

yo. dint post yesterday cos yesterday was kinda boring lolz. cos i went to NUS again, and dint really get to do anything else.

anyway, yesterday basically i have a much tougher job now cos i have to think exactly how i want to assemble our prototype and exactly how to fix the stuff in, not just come up with the assembly. and boon chong played with dimming, but there were only two modes lolz. not much physical work was accomplished but idea-wise got quite a bit of improvements.

today, i spent half the day on jap-related stuff lolz. only watched two episodes of anime heh. anyway, i was at this facebook page called Human Japanese, which is like the best app for learning jap cos its super interactive, have quizzes and games, and its really interesting cos of all the effort put to make the app feel 'human'.

that page is actually darn interesting lolz. there's the word/phrase of the day, and some questions from users, but they also put special days in japan, short stories with sound, and some cooking videos for jap food lolz.

eh btw i find the cooking videos quite cute heheh. usually i dont really watch cooking videos, but this one is quite interesting. its called cooking with dog, and the dog is the one speaking lolz. i actually like the dog's voice even though his english is not very good heheh.

anyway, i chose this one cos its kinda short, and its quite cute lolz. if u like cooking videos u might want to watch. some of the other dishes the preparation quite intuitive, like sushi, but there are interesting ones, like the onigiri, which looks darn good. and the strawberry cake one is completely homemade. i know its common, but it looks darn good, and its just darn interesting to watch :D

so yeap im falling in love with japan, influenced by all this exposure lolz. i dunno why but i feel like i'll be quite happy if i live there. there's so many things there that amazes me, and its really kind of interesting, cos their lifestyle is so different from ours. this is not some random comment. i actually really feel like staying there next time, at least for awhile.

but then its abit hard le... i might be binded to stay in singapore because of all the ppl here and im so used to here already. its quite hard to leave for a new environment, though i would like to try, cos i really, really want to go to japan lolz. probably i'll get two chances: one when i study in a Japan university for a year or two, prolly some engineering course, or two i work as some engineer and get hired into a japanese company and get some attachment there. i doubt i might migrate there, but so tempting :O. どうしよ？

anyway, next week might be slightly busy. we have to go to NUS on tuesday, prolly the last time for this hols, then wednesday, i think i kind of settled a outing + bbq, and i wish, a sleepover :D. 楽しみ！then thursday, i have some skin center appointment and saturday my mum's planning to go to some malaysian resort for father's day. wow looks kinda interesting heh. ok this post quite long le bye ~~

P.S. i found out my japanese name translated from my chinese name by converting it into traditional chinese :O. 翁伟轩 > 翁偉軒 which is read as okinaeranoki, which means venerable (i think this means holy), huge/tremendous, eaves (some edges of a roof of buildings). hmm doesnt sound very good... well, i was bored, but i was looking for some jap name so that ppl dont call me デイオン君 (de-i-o-n-kun), cos it doesnt sound good either :P

i realised that now is too early; im far from that stage, but im working on it, because there is always next time.

electronic chip

went to school at 11 for ARP yesterday. went to get solidworks on my comp, then after that we had to leave to eat lunch somewhere cos canteen not open. while we were going out, we saw bradley sitting there in the student lounge. apparently him, amelia and jia min are doing a physics ARP too. jm was late, so me, pin, boon chong, amelia and bradley went to NUS first.

since i missed the session last time, pin and boon chong decided to go to the studio first, and find their way to the canteen from there. but they still got lost anyway lol... ok so lets just say the design of the campus isnt very user friendly :P. but we finally found our way to the canteen after getting directions. the food there was damn good and not very ex. anyway our convos over lunch quite epic de, as usual :D

anyway, jm only came after we finished eating, that not long after we had to split up, cos they were meeting some other ppl at 2 while ours was at 1:30. this time we met andy (one of our professors)  in his office to help him bring stuff over. was quite excited cos we finally got to see some coolio chip and some simple red led lolol. and he had this fan prototype thing, for another group though.

so after some short discussion of ideas again, this time we actually get to play with programming and 3D sketching. anyway, yx came not long after cos his group was also meeting them. their idea quite cool too. its some fan system that traps dust mites in the ceiling.

anyway, we learnt quite alot even though it was quite slack. as in we dint exactly learn much, but it was alot of new stuff. like i think by now i can make some simple simple body shape with solidworks cos they teached how to fix some object, rotate, move, and combine. while i was doing that, boon chong and pin were making the led on the electronic chip blink lolz. basically they just plucked out the entire program from the template, then play with the code to change the way it blinks. quite cool :D

at around 4, both our groups went to the lab inside the studio, and before we could use it next time we go there, we have to watch their safety videos. we thought the first one was quite retarded, cos the clip is damn old, and the american guy was talking very dramatically. 

the second one was much worse man. the sound sucks, plus their accidents super fake, then they went to show some freakin gross pictures of injuries. but maybe thats the whole point. then the third was some standard safety clip.

anyway, after that we stayed there till about 6, then went home. D: i hate travelling from here to there and back. its like wasting 3 hours of my life everyday. so yep when i finally reached home i was damnnn tired. slept at 9 lol dint get to slack yesterday. ah well at least today i dint have to go to school again.

pin's now addicted to triple town cos of me lolol. haha ppl always introduce random games to me. ok anyway, im gonna try out kimi ni todoke. sounds kinda good according to my 'guide' blog lolz. ok bye~~

P.S. its amazing how one dream can highlight so many different things that u have been thinking about into one story lolz. even if its illogical.

i think im gonna try again. the rest simply depends on luck :D

sultans of science

ok LOL that is so not an appropriate title...

went to science center today for tan kah kee thing. just view who won. i... overslept again. took mrt direct to jurong east instead of going to school and taking coach over. i called pin when i reached science center and next moment the coach stopped in front of me. good timing :P

anyway, at least this time the posters are much more interesting to read than SSEF posters. actually i cant really say that cos SSEF i cant even comprehend anything lolz. but anyway, got some really cool ideas, though they only got merit or encouragement, and some really weird ones, but actually won silver. no golds this year though...

after about 1 hour everyone kinda left and decided to go for macs. next to that place was some sultans of science thing lol. its some islamic science exhibition. we actually approach the guy and ask whether we could go in lolz. but cannot. so we just laughed lolz. i think that guy thinks we're interested just cos of the name, which we are actually heheh.

ate at macs (again). mcspicy (again). i think i love torturing myself with spicyness, but why is it like the only thing in macs that i think tastes good? no salad to buy though, or i would. and there was no shaker fries this time D:. but okay la we talked random crap over the table with ze lolz. he thinks we are all insane now heheh.

after that me, boonchong and pin went back to school cos boon chong left his stuff there and we might as well work on project. it was locked at first so we crashed the sc's room. lol the room is quite shiok le, even though its really messy heheh.

actually helped to move some stuff for them. how can they leave the huge bear on the floor :o. was expecting more photos though. but still i would want to be an sc heheh. if my conduct wasnt so bad. maybe i can be like the room caretaker or something :o. yea im crazy.

we got the whole design engineering lab to ourselves :D. it sucks that only yr 1 and 2 can use it la no fair. i mean they dont exactly do high level physics there, but still, its fun. we played around with solidworks. got damn frustrated at it lolz, cos the tutorial absolutely sucks. no guide one le. like click to add feature, and then they dint tell us how the rotate about centerline works.

but boon chong the pro managed to revolve a line by trying out, and from there, we slowly tried out how to make our 3D image of that msn icon thingy, which is what our buddy looks like. keep getting some glitch cannot rotate when we drew out our real icon though. took us like damn long to realise the center line cannot be touched more than twice, so when we got it, we were really jumping for joy lolz. took us like 2 hours to draw something like that :o. but hey its progress lolol.

maybe im rather high today, so our conversations were pretty interesting and retarded. anyway, tmr need go back to see some demo of another 3D sketching software as well as meet the professors again. lol i missed the last two i need to catch up heh.

ok so i watch pandora hearts until ep 7 and its damn GOOD. the plot is really interesting and unexpected, though i watched abit too many whacko animes to ever be fazed lolz. and yep i love the ending song of pandora hearts. here it is (if u'd bother to click lolz :D). time to learn how to read the lyrics and what it means lolz.

anyways, i think i suddenly got inspiration to learn jap again, cos i saw this girl holding a jap vocab list. ok thats a really stupid reason but i cant believe i dint think of just getting words and printing lolz. im gonna master it next year man. watch me :P. k bye nothing to say ler~~

i wish i could get someone who would want to go with me next year...
