Blazing Afternoon Sun

2012-02-07T09:41:00.001+08:00

Greeting arise that starts anew
Streak of amber seen from window
Await in moment we anticipate in vain.
Giving a drive of what's ahead

Maturing time changes the shade
Amber to clearness marks a growth
Gradient of shadow implies the future.
Warming the environment in the process

Forward in moment reveal more
Unpleasantness sinks to knowledge
Perceiving routine an unbearable manner
Period of which seems eternity.

The evening of time shows an end
Short comings of unpleasantness are of history.
Resetting back to what is of the initial stage.
cycle of this repeats inevitably.

Paradoxical statement

2012-01-26T01:08:00.000+08:00

What makes a statement paradoxical. there is a show that i watch which is hosted by Stephen Fry. i wonder how much knowledge does he have when he is on the show. Like he know almost every topic that . well back to the topic. there was a statement on the show which he asks the contestants on what is the worlds most uninteresting number. to which most of the guests on that show came up with a few different answers. To which the answers of it seemed to be 1729.

of course this claim to this number seemed to come from a story of a mathematician visiting another mathematician. link. you can click the link if you want to find out more . but in summary the mathematician is visiting a very ill mathematician in the hospital. and well being awkward human beings like all engineers and mathematicians, there was silence in the ward. Thinking on how to start a conversation, the dude that was visiting opened up with a statement that 1729 seemed not that numbers that interest the people at whole. and well that claim was shot back by the ailing mathematician saying that it is in fact an interesting number.

1729 smallest number that can be represented as the sum of two cubes in two different way.

i wonder how can a mathematician can think up of such complex statements in such a short time. and getting back to the topic of the post, this is a classical example of a paradoxial statement. By telling something that in not interesting, it indirectly draws attention to that claim making it an interesting bit.

How about "Please ignore this notice". well did you ?

or
1+1= 3
the equation above and this statement is false.
.

well paradoxial is something interesting in other sense of time travel. a famous paradox theory known as the grandfather's paradox is seen here

lets say that you have a time machine and then you go back in time to kill you grand father. by right without a grand father your father wont exist and thus you wont be around to go back to kill your grandfather thus your grandfather would still be alive. which the whole cycle becomes a paradox and continues in an infinite loop

well the quirky part of this paradox is depicited in futurama where fry went back in time and killed his grandfather but some how he did not vanish in thin air as seen in back to the future. instead he was still alive not because his grand father is related to him but some how he is his own grandfather as it was shown that fry slept with his grandmother.

dont ask me why i started writing stuff like this. anyway more coming soon.

Fear of Failing

2012-01-08T06:40:00.003+08:00

I am not making a mockery of any parties that are involved in this post. just highlighting an issue

This post is dedicated to a small piece of news that has become so hot among the netizens of Malaysia. What can i say about the mass disgust of the people discussing about a particular person. well if you are born in Malaysia, there will be a time in the past where there is a big hoo ha on a particular student that did exceptionally well in a national level exam. not only did the person did our nation proud but manage to impress the governing bodies. There were lots of support and sponsorship offerings that were given to this person to support tertiary education.

Once this happen, it became an aspiration among most parents to have their children to accomplish what this person did. well i am one of the children who had to pressure of getting the best among the best. For most westerners who automatically think that this is an asian thing, well i wont say you are wrong but hell yeah it is. from my 15 years of going through this education system, never once that i felt so pressured to get good grades and dreaded the time when my marks come back in red ink.

for once i can say i had the fear of failing. well after going through the system, that this is a bad thing. i am sure most of my peers would be dying to bash up this post, but i have seen from my perspective that fear of failing is bad. one reason is that this cultivates a different type of learning experience. instead of learning to understand basic fundamentals, a memory based learning is born from this. i can say the way i studied is not by understanding but by memorising for the exams. Well , to tell you honestly i am never good at memorising and thus after sitting for any exams, i totally forget what the heck i have studied in class. but some subjects that i have way too much interest in it, i could actually explain to people after 7 years not looking at the subject.

from this i can say the reason of that is because i understand the subject not memorising some form of formulas or stuff. well if you are curious what subject it is, it is Physics and Additional Mathematics(oh noes , asians and their maths.) well me is duhhh half chinaman and duh half indianman.

oh well getting back to topic, the fear of failing makes students learn things by memorising. some say that it does not and i have to agree, some exceptional students are bloody sponges . what ever goes in the brain stays in the brain. but unfortunately i am not spongebob. And from my experience studying abroad in England, there is a different system where learning becomes interesting as we learn based on failures and mistakes. but at the same time i wont say this is the best method of learning too. there might be lots of non genuine students who dont really want to study would drop out of this system. but as of the percentage who really want to learn would benefit from this.It gives opportunity for those who don't understand stuff to make mistakes and learn from mistakes that happen. my perspective of learning is that when one is allowed to make mistakes that knowledge becomes an experience which is more valuable than facts that are just kept in one corner of the brain.

so going back to the first story about this extraordanary student, that student managed to get a scholarship to pursue a tertiary education in England. well some how the person manage to fail one of her subject. this statement was released by some local blogger in my country and it became a public uproar over how someone so perfect could fail a paper. the thing is I am not condemming the person for failing but this brings out the the very fact of the title of the blog. THE FEAR OF FAILING.

the thing is that the issue became so intense when the parents had to come out and make a statement to all malaysians. well you guessed it, statement was the child did not fail. it was announced that the student did not failed and here i am thinking why the hell or how the hell we come to this stage of getting so scared to fail doesnt it hampers learning experience. even if the person did not fail which i doubt so because i have failed many times before in tertiary level.

When i have kids in the future, i would not want to put the pressure when my child fails but work together with them to understand why they make the mistake.

But then again i dont have children so i wont understand how hard it is to raise a child. lol

anyway for those who took time off your busy schedule to read this from the top to bottom: YOU'RE AWESOME!!!

for those who TL:DR : YOU'RE AWESOME TOO!!!!!!!

Tooth hole

2011-12-24T09:08:00.001+08:00

Root canal surgery is really an eye opener for me. i know for the many of you out there who see this post saying that this surgery is nothing because you had a quite a number of this surgery done. . lol

But anyway it was not a bad experience for me as the surgeon whom attended to my tooth did not scare the shit out of me. mind you before i go for the surgery i hear stories of this procedure taking weeks to complete. i even watch graphical videos on the procedure before going for it. it looks a heck lots of pain. when your eyes are staring at it.

but when you are lying down with you mouth wider than those football cheering fans for more than an hour with
local aesthetics all over your face making you feel your face is so bloated but it is not, THERE IS NO PAIN AT ALL . in fact the only discomfort i got from the procedure was trying to not swallow my own saliva.

and the best part is that the whole procedure took an hour. for this it is not a draggy surgery and i would like to thank my surgeon for doing a really great job . I havent felt this much of painlessness (wonder if thats a word) since june 2010 on my tooth.

no pictures for this post unless you want me to link a graphical depiction of the surgery. lalalalla

Between Keratchut and Kampi

2011-08-23T15:59:00.003+08:00

Afternoon sun shining through the jungle

Lighting up the the trail to both location

Nearly covered by the undergrowth of the forest

A tiny trail of soil seen in serenity.

Proves many have taken the path.

Journey to both are filled with challenges and excitement

Fallen logs scattered along the way mirroring reality.

Changes in elevation adds anticipation to the journey

Jungle sounds keeps one occupied to carry on

Arriving the destination is what awaits

The desire to go to both places

Only one can be chosen.

wonderful beaches await at both ends

Choice is now the delaying factor

At the crossroads.

side note:

not been to kampi yet, but i think i prefer keratchut beach. lalalalalalala

Nonnative Shore

2010-11-18T08:51:00.003+08:00

Dark winter breeze bellows across

Flowing with incremental volumes

Rattling branches crackle from each gust

Shearing the last vegetation of autumn.

Remnants of summer scatter on the streets.

Rotting in amber beautiful as it can be.

Marking the start of a new equinox

Spine chilling feeling trickles through the bones

Mist of heat drifts in the wind

Vanishing into oblivion.

Through a numb mouth that cracks by time

Striding jittery through the unknown

Through a land that does not belong

Taking each step with unseen confidence.

Through a street vaguely lit.

Distant from domicile

Absence of peers

Learning from experience

Cultivating knowledge away from comfort zone

Enduring it with patience

All this for?

A better tomorrow.

Honestly, i begin to realise that there things that we take for granted will eventually be made known to us once it is taken away from us for a certain period of time. by means that after pursuing my studies abroad, i began to miss minute things that were around me. would not elaborate further but i know you get the idea.

Yesterday, I went to Manchester. It was one of the most tiring trip i had in my stint in England.

On my first day in Sheffield, only my friend and I were the first to arrive. you would expect us to go through lots of difficulties especially adjusting to the different environment. Factors include change in culture, food, time difference, new room mates, and the list goes on. Including to that, getting used to the difference in sun rise time and sun set time is another pain in the back.

luckly thought this did not happened that bad.
I would give credit to my lovely looking senior resident Sherlyn Teo. On the day which we stepped out of the bus, she was there waiting for us . Other than getting us to our right rooms, she showed us places around , where to get stuff, who to contact if there is trouble. and stuff like that..

well we were relived in a new land.

but all of this change after the manchester trip. No we did not get into any trouble during the trip. It went smoothly. We were not able to faint at the sight of football stars. As there were non on our visit to the Old Trafford Stadium. Although some of us scoffed at the price tag on souvenirs. Walking through the town of manchester did not do any damage to us, as there were nice locals waiting to lend a helping hand. walking through a Gothic like Library did not kill us for the eerily long silence experience there. An accidental discovery of a street in Manchester full of Gay Pride flags and Pubs, did shaken us a bit to scurry out. For a matter of fact of everyone, all of us did not "lose" anything. Still it did not destroy us.

Just this morning, i got a call from my friend. He told me to check out this site online. i should have not listen to him. I mean come on , after all the things that i went through, this is small thing should have not affected me one bit.

he told me to go to a site that i barely know of. this is the site. I warned you not to click it. it gives you the worst brain boggling word in your entire life.just look at it. just like the first season of Heroes. It just wants you back. like there is some sort of hypnotic person behind that site that tells you that " your eyes Bleeeed.. GIVE ME MOARR!!!!".

another thing . WHAT THE HELL IS MOKULU!!!

damn it "blasted my mind".

word of advice . don't click it. unless you are prepared for the consequences.

Guess where?

2010-01-09T16:07:00.002+08:00

last week I was going on to facebook. then stumbled across a group named Sek Keb Minden Height Class of 2000. met lots of old dudes and gals.
this school brings back memories. have lots of catching up to do.

heres a summary of Minden Heights

SKMH completed and fully functional on April 1987, a total of 192 students have registered in January. Therefore, students are forced to ride in SRK Bukit Gelugor, during the school term from January 3 to 4 April 1987. On April 20, 1987, a total of 340 students from several schools behampiran, including students who ride in SRK Bukit Gelugor, directed move to SKMH. Intake and increasing year to year and in 1990, SKMH work in two sessions.

finals of finals are next week. doo looo

A DAY OR SO IS A DAY TO WASTE

2007-10-02T17:17:00.001+08:00

by seeing the the days past by in tarc one day i notice something.

normal students life...

goes like this

1. beginning of semester

students tend to not concentrate in class

actually i dont have any thing against them sleeping but the thing is that they take the beginning part of the semester as it is so easy.

the truth is that when taking my kind of mechanical course, i feel that we have to work our asses of the floor from the start of the semester. it is true that there are people that can study in such a short time and get their grades up so fast.

i feel there is an exception for a few students

going cc until 4-5 am in the morning

go to mamak stalls and yum cha until 3-4 am.

i dont mind all this as it is done by most students in tarc.

well comes the mid terms of the semester.

guess what our ah chai's and ah lui's are doing

yess that is right they would be cracking their heads to do pump their heads with all the things that they have missed out from the beginning of the semester to the middle of the semester

towards the end of most of them are so hard working during this time.

i tell you even in the school library, from nobody practically gets filled with people in an instant ..

cannot find a place dude.

well well after the mid term is over

guess what happens...

the dudes do not go into insaf mode and continue go yum cha and go cc. etc etc.

i cannot understand but this cycle goes on for the next time the finals comes..

i mean where the hell this students got the brain power to stuff 6 freaking tough subjects in just under one day.

just imagine that each of this subjects has a minimum of 6 topics and the max of 17 topics.

kinda irritates me when i am the one who does not have this kinda ability. i mean i may be classified under abnormal student because

i have to study everyday . otherwise i forget fast..

so i can be branded as the nerd of the school but what am i suppose to do.

well at least i know that doing this may save me lots of money. whahahahahaha

SO TELL ME for the students who do this is it A DAY OR SO IS A DAY TO WASTE ????

MECHANICAL DESIGN

2007-10-02T16:59:00.001+08:00

Mechanically, scissors are a first-class, double-lever with the pivot acting as the fulcrum. For cutting thick or heavy material, the mechanical advantage of a lever can be exploited by placing the material to be cut as close to the fulcrum as possible. For example, if the applied force (i.e., the hand) is twice as far away from the fulcrum as the cutting location (e.g., piece of paper), the force at the cutting location is twice that of the applied force at the handles. Specialized scissors, like bolt cutters exploit leverage by having a long handle but placing the material to be cut close to the fulcrum. Scissors cut material by applying a local shear stress at the cutting location which exceeds the material's shear strength.

This is some thing to think about yeah!!!
