back but too lazy to update.haha.maye soon

Wanfook has done it again.

Awesome beyond the imagination of mankind. Wanfook has come up with one of the greatest headers ever. I make myself proud. Vanity of the highest level, I came up with this neader using low tech technology. Utilising 4 different pictures and the paint software.



Definitely not my best pictures, i think one of my worst pictures . But hey, it's still me and I guess looking good or not in the picture, it's still me?? Haha.

Statics and dynamics is this saturday, 24 hours more to study. 24 hours more to total freeness. Can't wait. These past few days have been different. The block is slowly emptying. Everyone is going home. Oh yeah, went Ipoh yesterday. Had lots of fun. Too lazy to post bout it. Visit chua's blog to read it. Leaving UTP this saturday afternoon. Leaving the west this sunday night. I'm coming home!!!

Running the examathon.

People all over the world of diferent colours and shapes, run many races in their lives, from the every famous rat race to the physically taxing marathons. Nevertheless, only great men run the examathon, the 27 hours examathon. Started at 9.00 a.m. on Friday the 15th ofMay to 12 p.m. on Saturday the 16th of May . Who knew that completing this examathon would leave such a great feeling of satisfaction and euphoria on me.

Late nights after late nights tryng to grasp as much as I can to sustain the mega wave of the academic curse I thought I would actually run out of midnight oil to burn. Who would have thought I'm still alive, very much alert and ready for more. The tiredness started from Tuesday night when I did not get enough sleep. then Wednesday night was the same. Friday morning, HSE, I felt as though I nearly slept half way through the paper. DE in the afternoon seemed so distant. Had my first can of Red Bull in oer a year. Hoping it would work. I think it might have or the thought that it might work actually made it work. Made it through DE. 

SP. Structured Programming, learning the language of C++ and Structured Query Language has actually been  one of hte most enjoyable subjects this semester. Difficult it might be, it is fun to do. 

I'm done witht the examathon. Time for a thon that everyone wants. Movieathon and dotathon. Started my dotathon since 1 p.m.  Played 4 games straight. Played till 5 something when Calvin called for dinner. Going to continue when people come back from sleep, sports Ipoh. Haha. Cannot wait to play some more. Many more. Then when everyone is toot ired to play some moe, it's 90210 time. Been holding back from 90210 for awhile. Taking a two day break before starting my preparations to have the big smackdown with EM. 

The smackdown with EM. hAPPENING NEXT SATURDAY AT 9 AM TILL 12 NOON.  Can't wait. After that I'll be enjoying my 2 months holidays in Kuching and such!~!!!!!

Pushing it

Realising the magnitude of the three tests to come, the significance each of the finals marks would bring, I've been pushing myself toread more, driving forward , thinking positive. Tossing and turning, I wish I could have slept better on Tuesday night. Jumping into bed at 4a.m, I think I never really got any sleep. Waking up every half hour because of something. Because it's too hot, hamster too noisy, can tell other hamster on floor, thinking of finals. It wasn't until 8 a.m. that I actually dosed off and woke up at freaking 10a.m. Two hours of sleep seriously was not the ideal sleeping hours I wished for. The afternoon was the same. Went to bed at 2.30p.m, electricity got cut off at 3.00p.m. Oh my. I wasn't meant to sleep. 

Before I continue my pointful babbling about the small amounts of sleep I've been getting, I forgot to tel you all bout the present I got when I woke up from my two hour beauty sleep. The supervisor, the satanic creature with a sadistic heart, the evil eyes, left me and michael, my roommate an envelope each . It was a fine. A fine for breaking our door. Fifteen each. Wasn't the best present someone could hope for but it's still one that we laughed at. 

Oh yeah, then decided not to sleep in the afternoon and do some de. Then after dinner read lots of hse and did some past papers. Then it was dota at eleven. Haha. At twelve, we went down to throw eggs at Malaya. Could not get an egg at him because Kalai could not control himself and started before us. Then the new plan was to throw at Kalai. Did not in the end. Ended throwing the one in my hand at Kuahan. Hahaha

Coming back to my room, I thought I would read a bit and then sleep. Calvin came and the HSE madness mood was kicking in. We did and did more HSE till 3 something when I was over famished. Went mamak, came back at 4. Did more HSE. Lim came. Then we continued doing more HSE plus a lot of nonsense talk, till 5.45 a.m. Ah. Haha. Now 11A.M just woke up. Going to do HSE in awhile then DE. The two exams tomoro are seriously scary to think about. Can't wait for Saturday afternoon where I'll be free. Argh!!!!

Tired but not BEAT

In a world where the drama of electronic entertainment has reached a level so intensively extensive, exams still bugs everyone around . Seven subjects with five finals. One finals done four more to go. Enough witht he whining. Enough with the complaining. Everyone has to face the same thing now or then. Now it's time to focus and study. Never forget play never forget fun. 

Speaking of fun, my room mate, he who challenged virtually everyone facebook to get a hundred for his quiz by offering a lamb shank for he who gets hundred spark my human instinct to punce at the challenge. An easy challenge, by hook or by crook to get a 1005 for his quiz. And guess what, I was accused of cheating so I'm not getting any shanks!! I say this is a whole load of crap and I deserve one. The picture will clearly illustrate why I deserve a shank!! Click on it to zoom and get the bigger picture.

Being stressed out over the three finals which will ocme crashing in two days over no more than 24 hours starting on friday morning, armed with my preserverance and battle fury, i'm ready to take them on for a triple kill to fuel my kiling spree. By next Saturday I will be unstoppable. Well I'm typing like this cause in five minutes time, I will be playing a game of DOTA. Yi herng, the dota game clock, has come back from irc. The saying goes, when Yi herng is studying in the

 library, we study in room. When he comes back at twelve, dota after he showers. 

Quite a productive day I've had today. Underestimated my study capabilities I actually made some progress on the acadmic yard stick. Conquering some parts of DE and solving the mind puzzles of structured programming. Rising at nie, like a zombie from the dead, I took 

a shower and dropped dead on the bed. Never having the actual mood to enslave my brains to books and lecture slides so ealy in the morning.

Lunch, the ignition key for my day. A serving of fried chicken, beehon, sausages and nuggets. Actually came back to the room did some de before Michael invited me for a drink. Ended up ta pauing some food for people. Drinking two liong fan sui at ong huat. Then went over t

o tronoh for  'So-*hai*'s ' wheel. The wheel with a stand which I have been searching for so long. For your info, my hamsters are now names, so-c*hai, fei-c*hai, and ma-*hai. Too lazy

 to elaborate. Put the wheel and so-*hai in a shoe box. Actually looks nice.

Did more de when I got back. Then did some laundry which ended up in this, the window of underwears. 22 pairs!!!!

 Then here came diner. Some pork...haha. Then roti canai. Then came sp. If Yi Herng has unstoppable studies, then I must be having a beyond godlike streak of sp. covering fundamental data types to streams. Later after dota will plunge into the depths of mind boggling database systems. I hope the kau nescafe ice would drive me further than primax pet

rol drives a car. Fearing my mind would explode when studying toom much, i equipped myself  with proper equipment as you can see. 

Every now and then I had been interupted, but that's usual. The fun thing is I read bout a zipper dress, the iphone, mike and his idea to win a free iphone by doing a blogpost about mcd mcvalue meal, some illusion thingy and many other crap thingy. It was fun. Haha. Just finshed a game of dota. Haha.

Oh yeah, I forgot bout the laptop lock thing. Well a lock is hard to unlock until you find the key. Guess what? I locked my laptop and left the two keys forit right next to the laptop. Hahahaha. Of course nothing happened cause I'm still haha-ing.

Now sp streaks continues. Moving to database systems soon. Life's a bore!! Haha.

COUNTING DOWN

Study week, finally coming to an end. A brief study week that has seen many people atudying and of course playing at the same time. The final day, what I did, was nearly the same like any other day of the study week except to the end. We're at it again. Mike locked the door but when we came back, where is the key?? Back to brute force. Utilising two a brick and a piece of concrete or something like that, I tried to break the pad lock. Tri-circle sure do make great locks. It didn't break. So we looked for wonder leg, my leg since we decided the wood was easier to break. So we did.

 In total, I think this is the 5th time we've broken into our own room by brute force . Twice before kicking the door open. Twice other by using screw drivers to break the tiny locks we used to use. Don't forget the times we used card to open the door. Anyways it was fun. Finished reading academic writing . Got bored so made a new header. Interpret it.

Crack It!!! (PG13)

So this is a picture of the average male brain that I got from google. Maybe it's misinterpreted but I'm still quite sure you can't actually replace the sex with study.

//Diclaimer....the picture is just something got off the net. But it's fun and interesting. Hahaha

So What should be done for the finals which arrives on Monday?? Crack the brain. 

Force the brain to study.

 Then You'll get a champion brain. One that's ready for the finals. CRACK THE BRAIN. 

Don't forget to dress up in style for the finals too. What's scoring well looking like a nerd??

Shaving the moustache

Here's one post I have been wanting to write up for nearly a week. Since the semeter started, I have not shaved my moustache. Haha.Too lazy to rotate the photo.

 Many comments were given for the ever growing moustache although still quite bare . I think it looks sexy. Haha. But no one ever gave that comment.  I think all were negative. Haha. Even Chua didn't want a kiss when I had a moustache.

So I decided to search for the shaver but I just couldn't find it. Went to Kopetro to get one shaver. My...there's so many choices of blade. Do you get the cheap one, the expensive on or the medium ranged one. They all look quite the same hough. Ended up getting the cheap one. A Gillette Buick 2.

 Here it is. I am shaved. Hahahahaha. Please don't look up the nostrils. Hahaha

My day...

Are trees softer in the morning??? Woke up at nine this morning because of the sound fo a tree being chain-sawed to death. Well, quite grateful to the guy whowas creating all the noise cause then I actually got up to face hundreds of lecture slides on the oil and gas. Read it till twelve something when I could not take it anymore and had to go back to bed. Then Calvin rang at around 1.30 asing me to go out to lunch. Went to have chicken chop and then came back to read some more oil and gas. Got so bored till I google my name,  Graham Tan. This is what I got .

The Top 5 Facts of my name:

1.  33% of the letters are vowels. Of one million first and last names we looked at, 60.6% have a higher vowel make-up. This means you are averagely envoweled.
2. In ASCII binary it is... 01000111 01110010 01100001 01101000 01100001 01101101 00100000 01010100 01100001 01101110
3. Backwards, it is Maharg Nat... nice ring to it, huh?
4. In Pig Latin, it is Ahamgray Antay.
5. People with this first name are probably: Male. So, there's a 98% likelihood you sweat just thinking of the price of shaver blade.

Not so useful. Haha. Here's the name origin and meaning.

Forename: 
Origin: English
Meaning: The Gray Home

Surname: 
Origin: Chinese origins - from the name of the state of Tan during the Zhou dynasty. Wu Wang, who established the Zhou dynasty in 1122 B.C., gave the state of Tan to a descendant of the model emperor Yu (2205?2198 bc), with the status of Viscount. Descendants adopted the name of the state Tan as their surname.

Here's three things according to the website I didn't know about my name.

1. Your personal power animal is the Blue Iguana
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 2. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are supportive, diplomatic, analytical, and play well with others. A team-player, you seek peace and harmony in a group.
3. According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.012% of US residents have the first name 'Graham' and 0.0089% have the surname 'Tan'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 3 Americans who go by the name 'Graham Tan'.

Ham's Never Go Hungry Again Automatic Hamster Feeder

Since installing the new roof over the aquarium, it has been realy troublesome to put food into the aquarium. So I came up with the never go hungry again automatic hamster feeder using nothing but a Pringles bottle and salotape. 

Quite ingenius I must say. Haha. Now there's a lot of space for the hamsters as there is a floating wheel and bottle. What more there will always be food. There's also a house cum stairs for the hamster to reach the floating wheel.
