Displacement = 0

Been back since Thursday night. Just realise my displacement has been zero. Been going here and there, with so many car rides, bus rides, flights.. i end up back home. Haha. Nevertheless happy to be home as I have not been for quite sometime. The last time I came back was for the H1N1 week.

Changed my blog template with Chua's help. Too lazy to fully update the links and stuff.

Anyways got a new cam. Sony Hx1. 20x optical zoom :P

Here are some pics.

Forcing someone to smile in a photograph.

And then here's me. the second one was trying out the smile detection thingy..

:P

AIO SA GENIUS

All in one stand alone ! That's the idea of the night. What it has to do with is another thing. Not going to share it online. Going to crack it before anyone else does and going to sell it to GARMIN. Told some. One guy didn't seem to see the practical application of it or why it's better than those already existing.

Not a bad choice....

Saw in Vyner's blog, "can I die and live again as another person?". Not the first time the thought struck me. To live as another person I never would imagine. Maybe I would just look different but then I guess living as another person just isn't too much fun. But I have thought about being born as another being though.

Housefly!

My number one choice. Analyze the life of a housefly. You have a short carefree life. First you're hatched as a maggot. You'll practically eat anything . When you reach adult flyhood life gets better. You get to fly around all day long and stop by for food or anything whenever you want to. Even shit smells good. What could seem negative in such a life that it would make you sad?

In the event of a fly swatter, well death is almost instant. :)

Orang utan.

This one hit me when I went to Semenggoh with friends the last sem break. Haha. You're moved into a sanctuary where no one is to harm you. Everyday someone provides you with food. ON top of that, every year ten of thousands of people come by to watch you hang by the vines. That's cool XD

Just the two creatures I would want to be. HAHA. Anyways if things like reincarnation doesn't exist or is not necessary then I would choose to be an angel ... cause i'm an angelic person.

Just felt the need to crap here since my sleep was disrupted and thus...I have a bit of free time.

No stamps required!

Class starts at 12 today and so the feeling of going to bed isn't here just yet. Thought of changing the outlook of my blog. Though still quite similar but just something to make you feel as though you've entered another space on the net.

So found this picture, a picture of the box containing my suit and shoes which was posted here not too long ago. It makes a good header and thus new name and description for the blog. A blog I guess is for leisure bloggers just some place you would dump things which you want to share with people but no one in specific. In the blog, you don't need a stamp. And yeah, it's like putting your thoughts in text and posting it to the blog. Unless your the too free to do anything else blogger than I'm not too sure what's your blog for. :)

Can't help but to admire my blog. I think it looks it's best now :)

Good or bad?

Many a times people think so much about the good and bad of something an ultimately draw conclusions based on some facts they got out of the net or something someone just happened to let them know. Well was thinking cause just asked Mike's brother to tapau maggi goreng. Here's the rationalization of some:

case1: One supper too many

Generally people will come up to you and say that supper is not good . It makes you fat and on top of that soon when you realised you've had one supper too many you'll be in for diseases or illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure etc.

Think about this and don't eat supper. Then you'll die the other way. Being depressed caused you've been thinking so much about supper. Picking up gastric on the way..and dying somehow. muahahahaha.

case 2: Oily food

Here's one I recall from having lunch with Jenny at v3 sometime ago. We all ordered chicken chop. Everyone's plate was empty by the time they were done but Jenny had all this chicken skin n such left on the plate. He said he didn't want to die of heart attack.

Well then I told him that if you're gonna die you're gonna die. Jenny says dying in an accident is much faster and painless. Well then again, I told him he might break his neck then someone will have to feed him through a tube in the neck. That's more painful I guess.

case 3: Supersavers

Not a big fan of financial savings. Anyways still think saving a little is just great. But still there are 'supersavers' who says i overspend and should cut down. If you took sometime to think long-sightedly you might see the world the way i see it. Haha.

Some people save cause they are afraid of getting some bad bad catastrophic thing happening in their lives which might call for huge sums of cash. Hmmm..I guess that's thee subconcious telling them and by the law of attraction... what your subconcious believes will happen does happen. Haha. So if you're saving for those reason..hmm... better save more.

People always say the more you give, the more you get. The more I give to the cashier, somehow the more i'll get back?

case 4: Sleeping 8 hours a day

Human beings are required to have 8 hours of sleep. Some people hold dear to this and do sleep at 8. Well you can but I recall a physics lecturer of mine from last year which said, you have 24 hours a day. I f you wish to live for a hundred years then do so. stop sleeping. Quite through. The average human being live for what..70 yrs? So if you sleep 8 hours a day means you're only living two thirds of your 70 years.

case 5: Why la so expensive?

Why did you 200 dollar shoe when you could have gotten the 50 dollar one? Again...think ! Haha. Let's say a shoe of 200 dollars last a year . And a 50 dollar one lasts 2 months... So the conclusion is?It's exactly like buying 5 small pringles instead of one big one which would end up being much much cheaper.

Case 6: Room cleanliness

My room is my room. That's why it should be however or messy I wish for it to be. The world has a amount of rubbish. Im just doing the world some good buy keeping some of the cleaner garbage here so that the rubbish dump doesn't get filled up too soon. But seriously, I don't see the point of having a superclean room. Kepping a room clean means more work to clean and such. But adirty room will also have a cosy feel for you but you need 10 times less work to make it that way. Hahahahahahaha

I think that's enough of brain food for some of you who might feel sad. In the future I hope I'll have more to crap about.

Last update: weeks ago

Current topics:UDCN , Moral project, Camp, Prom, General

XYZ

Nowadays, getting people's attention just ain't as easy. A sledgehammer and a loud scream is needed. That is why I put the title XYZ for the post. Not that it has no relevance but just imagine I put instead, boring week. What a turn off. Anyways.. I put XYZ cause 5 out of the 6 subjects I take this sem has it. I hear the phrase 'XYZ axis' everyday. Apply however you like, the earth's surface, satelite calculation, structures and so on, I get in every form you could imagine. Maybe that's why most days after class I feel ZZZ.So today, I had a feeling it wasn't going to be the greatest of all days. The weather in the morning was absolutely perfect , for sleeping that is. Sad though that I had 8 in the morning. It was almost impossible to drag myself out of bed and then walk 20 minutes to the lab. Geomatics lab, a fun lab but today, the instruments decided to run out of battery one by one. Wasting me and my group mates time. Was actually at the lab for more than 4 hours.

Then had mail to take from the mail office. Urgent. "Maaf, kami nak tutup sudah pergi sembahyang." Damn! Reached the door of the mail office and the guy standing there told me this. Was there asking him to let me get the mail explaining it only takes 2 minutes to take it there and then but like a long long time for me to come back and take, Well actually wasted a longer time asking him to let me take it then how much time it would have taken for him to just give me the mail. The amount of equipment we eneded up using although there were still a few not included in the picture. Other groups used much less.

So the story of the Geomatics lab continues. Since tomorrow is the first day of Ramadhan, lab is cancelled. So is everyone lab session during the Ramadhan period except those on next friday. Guess what, had to do GPS this afternoon meaning skipping moral class. The afternoon lab starts at 4.30 according to the sheet of paper outside the lab. Apparently there was a verbal announcement that lab had changed to 3. So I was late for lab after taking my mail at 4.10. Anyhows, it was GPS and actually got the results . Haha. A 45 minute lab. Cool.Here's some pictures from geomatics lab.

Besides that another interesting lab would be geology. Rocks and minerals everyday. Haha.

That marked the end of labs, lectures and tutorials for this week. A relief. This week felt busy. With a bunch of classes and some meetings here and there. Had 6 hours of Geomatics lecture and I thought I was going to have 12 hours of Geomatics lab. Phew! Bookfair is just around the corner too so there were a few things there but mostly Kalai took care of them. There were a few days this week that started at 8 or 9 and ended at 5 and also those that ended at 10p.m. It's unhealthy to have let's say, 9 hours of class a day?

So been relaxing the whole evening. Academia pushed aside. Grabbed a bottle of Mister Potato and a bottle of yoghurt drinks and watched Se7en, Cool movie. Storyline of a serial killer killing using the seven deadly sins of men as his motive. Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Envy, Wrath and... somehow always short of one when I recall. Cool movie seriously Everyone should watch it.

Haven't updated this blog for ages now. Haha. There's a few things and photos to share. Firstly of a camera. Olympus UZ590sp. oO.

Worth taking a look. 26x digital zoom and lots more other cool features including face detection up to 16 faces and a 10fps (3MP) pre-capture technology. Then there's this super cool casio watch. Was planning to get these sometime not too far in the future but then, a few trip plans came up. Nearest in time, to Ca,erons on the 5th. Then there's the great Raya Trip. Haha. Then there's a trip to Aus next June. Then Sandeep has told of possibly a Rotaract trip to India. OMG. Haha. Time to save.Being broke before the trips is not an option. Being broke after might be. Haha.

Anyways. this weekend will be involved in the 30 hour famine programme.

In laymen's term, 30 hour diet as a shoutout against world hunger. Still not sure how tens of thousands of people starving themselves for 30 hours would help those whore are actually starving.

Anyways, on Sunday will go together with other participants to Bukit Jalil. Yay! Guang liang coming. Woohoo. Then the rest I do not know. Taiwanese artists.

Oh yeah, my Civil batch had a google group. Cool thing this google group service by google. Practicallity at it's best. The coolest discussion with hundreds of reply was for the design of a batch t-shirt. Two thumbs up to Mesol for a great design.

I would give myself three thumbs up for the editing of it but looks like most going for the non-edited version. Haha.

Don't know how much printing costs will total up to but I guess a lot cause we have a tonne of things to print on the shirt including a name and number. So three t-shirts to look forward to. One famine, bookfair and batch t-shirt. Also, my Chindian batch also has a Google group and a facebook profile. Wow!

Somewhere sometime in the week there was Chua's birthday too. We had Pizza. Here's a picture of him withe the overloaded salad bowl.

My printer is back to life too. It was just the cable which had a problem.

Song lyrics..undoubtedly very meaningful words that artists have put into a song form. If one song can be quite meaningful then maybe a whole bunch of selected words combined together would be nice. Quite bored now having one week long holds but now can't sleep and got nothing better to do. Listened to a few songs to put together. Here's something fun.. the first person to be able to tell me a ll the names of the songs i got these words from I would treat you a chicken chop? sounds lame..but I'm bored and you could try too.Green words for my own words to bind the lyrics together. the rest would be one colour per song.

There’s a beautiful girl. Walking in the town crossing the road.Long and curly hair. Red pants. I’ma good looking guy. Squatting by the roadside. See you walking towards me, my heart is running everywhere. Eyes become very big like ping pong balls. Heart on fire but hard to tell you. Everywhere you go, perfection follows you the most.

But...

If i told you i love you would it move you enough for you to act as though you heard?

I wish you would..

Give me more loving than I’ve ever had, make it all better when I’m feeling sad. Tell me I’m special even when I know I’m not. I love being around you. There’s only one thing, to do, three words for you. I love you.

Everytime i see your face, everytime you look my way, It’s like it all falls into place. Everything feels right.

Then again..you might say

Those are all very beautiful words but action speaks louder than words. You can say all these beautiful things but they don’t mean a thing.

Have fun trying. Don't see how anyone would guess them all. You could try googling them but I doubt you'll get all.

First interactive blog activity,

Chess and tea. Falling sick. What has uni life become?? We here at v1C turning into old men. Haha.

Brewing the Imperial Tie Guan Yin everyday and playing a few games of chinese chess. Now feeling like I have a flu. On panadol now. tired so too lazy do up a proper post jz yet. Did it cause my undying fans asked me to. Haha

W.S

Haha. Here's the brain busting idea I had that would revolutionise the way some things are. Had to keep it locked for if not it would come up on google and such and then everyone might grab at it sooner or later. Saving it for me. Haha. So came up with a new blog which I would from now on keep my private posts rather than having this whole narcist blog of mine locked down.

www.grahamtanprivateposts.wordpress.com

this way I can have some privacy every now and then. I would however keep the post title posted here so those who would eventually be allowed to read will know the post exists. PM for password to post

Once Upon a Chindian Gathering...

Just came back from Chindian Gathering. Lazy type so just put pictures.

Ever wondered why the chair didn't break in the first place??Successfully covered the faces of the people behind me and kalai
