I am sure many of you have seen this rotating woman illusion before. Well, if you haven't, basically the image in the centre of the following shows you a woman rotating on one of her legs, that's pretty darn obvious. But in which direction is she rotating in, that's the question here. For myself I see her moving in a clockwise motion.
So I just reformatted the computer, and I am so happy I managed to clear so much free space hahaha! School partitioned our drive and 80GB of one drive was actually unused since ... I screwed up the dual boot system on my computer and have never been able to get into that 80GB since more than 18 months ago. And so after reformatting I was saving passwords into Firefox, and I happened to login to my Twitter account. That account is maybe, coming close to a year old? But so far I have only two tweets there. Well anyway, the link to the image above was discovered from this TweetSG thing and I don't know how Twitter really works all I know is you type a sentence or two and post it that's it so don't mind me if I sound so clueless. K right I never saw the woman moving anti-clockwise before. Even when I did, after a second my eyes see the opposite motion. So kudos to the smart guy who drew lines. Wow this post is horribly lame. 2:10 AM Saturday, February 27, 2010
Retarded is the word for false eyelashes.
I don't know if you support them but I don't. Of course I'm a guy, I don't.
I mean, they don't even look good. But the point of accessories like these is to help enhance how you look, isn't it? Furthermore, it's so easy to spot plastic eyelashes. Okay heck going to sleep, bye. 6pm faster come please but I think I will exit the examination room by 5 anyway. 9:16 AM Friday, February 26, 2010
I can't wait for Friday to be over. 6:59 AM
This stupid download is taking damn long it has been stuck at 52% for close to an hour and I wonder if it's actually moving. Or if the downloading program has hung. Don't worry, this is a legitimate download not in support of piracy. Good time to clean up the PC and that's by removing everything from it. At least that's what I think? Hopefully the computer will run even faster. That's what people normally say after upgrading to a new operating system but that's of course because your computer is virtually empty, other than the OS of course. Nothing to slow the system as compared to before of course it's faster. Ok right I really don't want to study electronics already I mean, I still don't know anything, but I don't want to study for it either. Need fooood. 12:31 AM
Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition! The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.
This is honestly brilliant. The scriptwriter is awesomely brilliant. As you would have expected, I don't really understand much of this monologue. But if you've watched the movie (which I will expose the title later on), you will definitely remember this. The movie itself is a masterpiece. And I am blogging about an old movie again please don't mind me. This one was released in 2005.
Okay title is V for Vendetta. Channel 5 broadcasted it once I think, but much of it was cut off. Huge disappointment ah the Singapore media. But then it's not their fault they are just staying out of trouble. So let's blame the MDA. No point getting a DVD it will be majorly censored too. Good thing there's the internet for us and from the internet there are many places to get stuff haha.
And above is the scene with the 126-word long introduction speech. Gee great presentation. Weaving did a great job here. You know the guy who acted as the bad guy in Matrix. Agent Smith. Yeah I actually remembered him as Dr. Smurf until I googled. Damn good go find and watch!
More birds more luck.
5:43 PM Tuesday, February 23, 2010Who am I talking to actually.
Darn I realised I've been blogging making entries quite a few in a day, on some days.
But now I feel like I've been typing everything for myself, haha.
2:39 AM
I think we have seen many blogs with entries describing the writer's day, everyday.
If I were to do one like that, somewhat elaborately but not really, my everyday goes like this:
I heard the alarm clock.
I whacked the alarm clock.
I waited for my cellphone's alarm.
I felt the vibration under my pillow.
I pressed snooze.
I felt the vibration under my pillow again.
Snooze again.
Vibration yet again.
I disabled the alarm.
5 more minutes.
I opened my eyes to see the time on my phone.
Holy freaking shit.
I grabbed my berms, underwear and towel.
Toilet time no elaboration needed.
I sat in front of the fan to dry my hair.
Went to the kitchen to have my breakfast.
Threw on my shirt.
Picked up my bag.
Slipped into my shoes. Or slippers.
Walked out of the door.
Okay I'm getting sick of this, so are you, right.
Pressed the button for the lift.
Down.
Walked and overtook everybody else to the station.
Waited for the train.
Saw people whom I overtook arrive at the platform.
Wtf feel damn stupid.
Train came.
Ya you know what happens after you board the train, you wait for time to pass.
Alighted from the train.
Tap my card.
Walk to class.

Okay it's Aircraft Electrical and Instrument Systems time and I only managed to read 5 pages of the chapter 1, and I couldn't bear to continue. Nobody likes it. Everybody detests it. Less than a third of the cohort turns up for lectures. I went to the last lecture with hope that he will provide hints tips and whatnot. But no he is a fucktard I hope he reads this but don't find out who I am. Fuck you Danny! All this lecturer did was to tell us whether the questions he went through were the same as previous ones, or if they came from tutorials. It's not useful man how many of us actually read anything related to this freaking fucked up fucking module. Initially I was planning to start early (just 2 days actually, it's really late by now) for this module but hahaha I think it's not going to work because 5 pages and I'm gone. Without even getting anything. And 5 pages is just like a hundredth multiplied by half of the whole book or something. I swear I hate electrical but I got to give it to electrical students. Mechanical ftw, electrical fyou. Just referring to the modules don't get sensitive here.
I don't know if this is relevant to whatever I'm going to read up on but why would this :
Why would anything like this interest anybody. If it does to you, then ... okay moving on, it looks familiar. Seems like I've seen it in lectures and I hope there is no need to understand this in detail. But something tells me otherwise. This could be just one of the many I'm supposed to know?
Okay I'm fucked. 10:28 PM
I tilted my head backwards and I saw, wow,
the ceiling lamp is really near.

3:02 AM the ceiling lamp is really near.

I don't like masks.
Masks are scary.
Okay seriously I need to shut the computer off. I lack self-discipline but despite knowing that, I don't force myself to do much about it. I need to get back to Math. Good bye. My computer is staying on. Back soon. Like after I'm done with Math. But it's not possible to be done with it. I am so far behind I can only manage to catch up as much as possible until it's time to sleep. I can't go for the paper without sleep or the brain will be empty and all my efforts would have gone to waste. I'm a study freak. I am a nerd. I love books. I love my calculator. I love my paper pen pencil and eraser. Nabei some country up North still shooting fireworks and I can hear it. I wouldn't mind if I could see it but no I can't all I hear is boom crack boom boom bloody hell it's irritating. I'm gonna blast songs and wait for neighbours to complain and have the police come to my door. Just kidding. Okay fuck 11 minutes gone bye. 12:19 AM
Headache and Maths
is really no good a combination.

120 from 8 Crayolas.
"There’s something truly appealing about
seeing every last little piece of a car deconstructed and laid out neatly."
True, true. I don't know nuts about cars. But these are a beauty to look at.
Hahaha die I don't think 2 days is enough to prepare myself sufficiently for Math. Especially when the weekends are not unoccupied at all. Furthermore, I have no idea how to get started. When there's no time to practice, I will have to count on memory. Pretty stupid because nobody memorises Math, probably other than me. Actually no not really it's just the methodology for questions. Afterall, questions they set don't get any different. Unless they do.
Then to make things worse I have been distracted by this game on Facebook which a few other fellows started playing a couple days back. I haven't found a FB game for a long time to occupy myself with. Bad time, man. And I realise there is at least a day's gap in between papers oh man I am quite relieved by that. It won't help much, but definitely is consoling news.
(Removed because the sounds is darn irritating
but if you want it you can have it here. Or 'Aircraft Madness 2' on FB)
Let it load, it's supposed to be fast.
Horrible, left with so much to study. Information about AEIS in my brain stands at zero and won't deviate much from there up to the point of sitting for the paper. ACC, more or less 10%. HAHA. So in other words, screwed! I am always screwed during tests and exams because I am never prepared. Or sometimes I spent too much time somewhere, thereby neglecting the other subjects. In this case, Mechanics. It's a Credit 5 module theoretically it should deserve 25% more effort as compared to other modules worth 4 credit values. And calculations are the only kind of questions to score full marks in. Tutorial 6 and 7 damn hard I keep getting stuck!
I very very much hate the start when I get to each topic because starting is the hardest since I am practically starting from nothing. I hate electronics-related modules too. K bye. 1:41 AM
Well I shouldn't be here ...
But this just came into my mind. Really suddenly.
A movie.
Title is The Guardian. It is undeniably awesome.
If you haven't watched it, please do. Find some way. Or if you have, and you have spare time, you might want to rewatch it. I don't know what the heck I am saying all these for but hey it's really good. And if I could I would watch it again right now. I think I've seen it four times at least. It's non-crappy, touching, and whatever else. Talk about study, I've finally got my sorry ass moving! Bye back to the calculations! 3:33 AM Tuesday, February 16, 2010
CNY, but I don't care.
Because I'm supposed to be preparing for exams.
But I don't care about preparation as well.
I have been lying on my bed practically doing nothing. I have wasted 4 hours since I thought I wanted to start studying at 12. And then I wonder what was it that occupied me for these 4 hours. What the fuck. I've had so much time to study or at least, get started but so far I've only read about 5 pages worth of nothing because 1, I know those stuff already, and 2, nothing was registered into the brain. The indifference in attitude is returning. And it's not a good time to start/continue now either. Full of shit I'm full of these excuses for myself.
Some kind of CNY this is, it doesn't feel any different from an average weekend. Just that there are more snacks at home. My angpao count stands at zero. That's not the point either. And then Valentines' too. Which has been overshadowed by CNY. I don't even know what this day is for, much less the reason for celebration? Wiki says to celebrate romance or something, so ... nah not a concern too. 3:59 AM Monday, February 15, 2010
Meanwhile, it's time to focus and move on. If you don't care about your kind of lifestyle, then I won't be bothered by it. Live your life. It's something you always wanted me to do. I was never meant to be in your life anyway. Move on, move on, move on. You are always the perfect one, and I am not good enough. Never will be. Sorry.And that quote, which I quite like (enough for me to put in this entry), is by Gabriel who is currently at Tekong and unfortunately I haven't met him before going in. I haven't met any of those usual people before they went in. But I am positive all of them will stand out from the rest. Those guys are awesome. And Gabriel based on my impression he is just the man for military shit. Eugene is in Tekong too and he went online a few hours ago! Guess what, according to him, they issued this new batch of recruits one laptop each. Of course they have to return the laptops after the BMT phase, but still, damn amazing! I saw a friend's pictures posted on Fb with his shaved head and then falling in with strangers I bet it feels quite weird. Just like the first day of school. This friend (Marcus Teo) used to be my NCC mate and even he can't deny he was a bigass slacker then. Makes me wonder actually what's it going to be like for him in the real deal. Not skeptical, just curious.
I don't really look forward to the future, especially after getting out to be part of the workforce. Frankly speaking I've never worked as an employee in my life, so I don't know what it's like. But for sure, staying in school can't be worse than work. I doubt it's even close.
This afternoon I totally felt like I lost stamina, but then again there wasn't a feeling to play too. Could be due to me missing two trainings consecutively (WHOOOPS), which I will make a point to NOT have it happen again. Speaking of which, Sat's was because I went for the Airshow and what left the deepest impression on me ... was the freaking weather that day! The whole place was an open area, scarcely sheltered, deprived of dense clouds which would be of much help, and strong winds which were hot! Almost everybody who left the show seemed scalded. Okay that's exaggerating but they were mostly burnt and pink. With the exception of tanned people like myself remaining brown. I thought I wasn't burnt, evidently my skin stings a little now.
OH IT'S 315AM GOT TO WAKE UP 3.25 HOURS LATER BUT I DON'T CARE.
Continuing,
Yes so you know the sun wears people down. Plus the exhibition ground was a whole huge area to walk around. That combined with the power of the sun resulted in a somewhat tiring experience by a few hours. Let's talk about the static display. Actually I prefer military service aircrafts, for the obvious reason that they look better. And in some sense, performance-wise too. Besttttt pick - F35 Lightning 2. Visually lip-smacking appetising, great performance, extensively researched Vertical Takeoff & Landing (VTOL) technology which is somewhat still a novelty for me.
Inauguration
Powerplant (The VTOL magic!)
Cockpit. Freaking prestigious to sit in one of those (unless you queued up at the Airshow and managed to get into it)
And finally what only the layman can appreciate.
It just looks simply awesome delicious in front of my eyes woohoo and I managed to get my hands on it, literally (unauthorised)! Okay information is all over the web right. It appeared in Die Hard 4.0 eh, short but good scene.
This is not ending yet.
So then the next highlight, aerial display. It was INTERESTING for the first 15 minutes or so. Special mention was the combo performance of the F-16 and AH-64 (Apache, as it is better known). And then of course, favourite moment.
Picture belongs to stupid Matthew, posted without permission but he wouldn't say a thing about it anyway. Low speed flight by F-16 in accordance to speed of Apache, both crafts were flying in really tight formation. Low speed flight was what I liked, but the Apache helped somewhat in decorating the sky at the same time I don't know man can't describe it was damn good. Just for this one. I can't possibly describe every thing right. And then after that the whole show was boring already.
I like the A-10 too for its maneuverability.
And it looks good too!
Oh I must say clouds were good in the later later later part of the day.
White fluffy pretty with a good blue sky.
Okay so HOW MANY OF YOU JUST SCROLLED DOWN, STOPPED AT PICTURES, THEN SCROLLED DOWN AGAIN JUST TO FIND THE END OF THIS ENTRY.
