SuperBand 翻身赛

Just checked the superBand website, there’s going to be a 翻身赛 this week. Oh no… my 3 favourite teams are going to fight it out, Juz-B, 使诺鼻 and 迷路兵 no… I dun know which team to support now.

I think its really very taxing on the participants, every week must find a song, arrange and practise… dun they need to work/study??? The longer the show drags on, the more tired the participants will be and the more impatient I get and the less interest I have in watching. 

千金百分百 – 我最新的娱乐

台湾偶像剧 – 千金百分百

最近我老爸怪怪的。 从来不看电视的他，近来居然追看大长金。 更奇妙的是，他也和我一起观看[千金百分百]。 起初，我以为那是韩国剧的魅力，后来才愕然发现他是因为退休后没事做，太闷了！

我还蛮享受和爸爸一起看电视的时光的。看他比我还躁急的样子实在好好玩。

根典型的偶像剧一样，演员不是很帅就是很美。

  

酷吧？

 

New tuition assignment

Yeah, I've got a new tuition assignment and TODAY is the first lesson. It's my first assignment where the parent bargain the fee with me. The mother compares my fee with the previous tuition teacher, then ask me to charge lower if her daughter comes to my house etc… She is a business women, must be a very successful one.

Anyway, her daughter is a very good girl, and thanks to her previous tuition teacher, her foundation is not that poor. Hope I can pull up her grades. => 

Sore throat

Falling sick… terrible sore throat after I ate 4 pieces of peanut-butter biscuits…

Ouran Host Club is so entertaining that I bought the manga…

Its the Kino 20% discount season and I seize this opportunity to buy 7 books!

Yes, Ouran High School Host Club manga volume 1-7. Ha ha… yeah, think I'm crazy. Leslie tried very hard to discourage me from wasting my money on mangas but I just couldn't resist, like a drug addict.  

The anime follows quite closely with the manga, of course the anime is more funny and entertaining than the manga because the way the characters speak is funny. 

 

Please… Master

If you are an embedded engineer, I’m sure you will agree with me that the chip, processor, board or machine is our Master.

Yesterday, my Master, x3000, is in a very bad mood and played a trick on me (which costed me 4 hours). After leaving it in the lab for 3 days without ‘communicating’ with him, he threw his temper. (The reason why I used a ‘he’ and not a ’she’ is because this system of mine is extremely big and heavy and it produces a roaring noise when the power is turned on.) He produced an unexpected low output power despite the fact that I have not changed my code or settings. I restarted the system, tighten the wires here and there, reload, rollback etc… none of these helped. Until I began to doubt myself and began to go through my codes again and again, though I was quite certain that there is no way to change the output power through coding.

After 4 hours, I gave up. Switched off everything and planned to let another colleague of mine take over the system. (Since we are time-sharing the system) I complained to my team-mate and he was kind enough to help me. He requested to see the output. So once again, I boot it up and ….. walau… the output power has returned to its normal level!

Conclusion is… either he is angry with me or he needed time to cool down.

The project manager for my next project consoled me that I will not have this problem with his project. The next project will be getting in a compact improvisation of x3000, known as x4000. Ha… I ‘ve got another Master.

Ok… now back to serve my Master.

For once I wish I stayed in the North

Eversince the sat match (England), which I watched with a group of friends at a cafe at Chjimes, I had developed some interest in watching soccer. Now I know what is offside and the “C” stands for ‘captain’ and not ‘center’…

But I can’t receive any signal, be it from Malaysia or Indonesia…

Sianzzzz…

Breaking the news

Told boss about my decision not to go overseas. He asked me why I'm not going for the scholarship and I told him it's due to the bond.

Wrote to NTU professors and Graduate offices about my decision to withdraw already. Hope nothing goes wrong now…

Relaxing now, submitted my report 2 hours ago. Yeah.

xxxHOLiC ep 7 – my favourite episode

This episode is my favourite because it not only brings out the relationship between Doumeki and Watanuki, it is quite touching. The relationship between Doumeki and Watanuki (both guys) is not love of course. In fact Watanuki likes to argue with Doumeki. Their character are completely different. However, their life are bonded such that when Watanuki is in danger, Doumeki is there to save him. Watanuki's blood attracts spirits while Doumeki posseses an unknown power which keeps away evil spirits. 

Coming to the story…

There is a huge plant which is supposed to produce only pink/violet flowers. But strangely it has dark red flowers near its roots. 

  When Doumeki and Watanuki stood in front of this plant, Watanuki was pulled into an unknown space, where he met a little girl. This little girl was crying and wanted Watanuki to accompany her to go to a place. 

Meanwhile, Doumeki saw Watanuki disappeared and thought that he has sunk into the mud. He dug the ground until Yūko san told him that he should simply hold onto a white ribbon and wait for Watanuki to come back. 

 Watanuki appeared after 10 hours.  It turned out that the little girl is not a human. She was killed and buried under the plant. Her blood made the flowers red. And she wanted Watanuki to accompany her in the underworld.

  The funny part of after Watanuki realised how Doumeki has helped him, he wanted to thank him but the words "Arigatou" couldn't come out of his mouth. And it became "Ah", "Ah", "Ah"…

 

I take back my words…

Boss just came in and…

" Please do the report before XXX(my colleague) come back."

Yeah. That’s it for the week

Finally found the bug today, and report it to my colleague who did that module. And he can't solve the bug until next week when another colleague of mine came back from overseas. Ha ha 两袖轻风。

Ha ha. Will be taking half day tmr. Yeah.

Bored

Now that Mushishi-21 has been released, I wonder when Prince of Tennis and Rescue Wings will be released. They too have gone missing for more than 1 month.

This week is extremely boring. Leslie has been working night shift since Monday. So I didn't really get to talk to him or see him. He worked from 8pm to 8am. Then he slept in the day. Was quite worried about his health but luckily, seems like today is his last day. Yeah!

Have not met Theresa for some time, looking forward to shopping with her tomorrow. Hmm… It's kind of difficult to maintain close contact with my best friend nowadays, since both of us are attached. Things that we used to report to each other, now reports to our bf. Everytime we meet, we try to update each other on our life, but come to think about it, nothing new or interesting has happened. Hmm… must organise another Mahjong session soon and catch up with my mahjong khakis. (including leslie and Theresa) Ha, kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Of course, there are times when I prefer to go out with Theresa alone, so that we can engage in girl's talk and 'share secrets'. He he…
