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. 

GOLDEN RATIO!!

Watching Criminal Minds Season 4: The Masterpiece, and interesting came up. The Golden Ratio. In the movie the person claimed that he was a serial killer and a genius found out he killed based on the shape of the golden ratio. I'm sure most are blurred by this thing called the golden ratio. 

In mathematics and the arts, two quantities are in the golden ratio if the ratio between the sum of those quantities and the larger one is the same as the ratio between the larger one and the smaller. The golden ratio is an irrational mathematical constant, approximately 1.6180339887.

At least since the Renaissance, many artists and architects have proportioned their works to approximate the golden ratio—especially in the form of the golden rectangle, in which the ratio of the longer side to the shorter is the golden ratio—believing this proportion to be aestheticallypleasing. Mathematicians have studied the golden ratio because of its unique and interesting properties.

The golden ratio is often denoted by the Greek letter phi (Φ or φ). The figure of a golden section illustrates the geometric relationship that defines this constant. Expressed algebraically:
