New look!

Not that I have a new look, it's my phone!!! Yes!!! Wheeeeee~

Nope, I didn't get the fascia I wanted, I didn't spray paint my phone, I didn't change my phone.
But I changed the colour of the keypad and the camera light!!! YEAY!!!
Here are some pics to make it clearer:

See! It's now BLUE!!! YES YES YES!!! Thanks to Wei Keat for giving me the glass paper!

I originally wanted Orange to suit my walkman, but oh well, Blue's cool too!!! Now...i've gotta make a blue and black theme to go with it. =D

of success in failure

Greetings ladies and gentlemen. Today's post will be about something really outdated --- my previous physics project, The Rube Goldberg "silly" machine.

The objective is to turn off an alarm clock using a Rube Goldberg machine lasting more than 20 seconds. Our team, me, Kit Yee and Choo started off with many ideas, but got restricted by the rules posted by our lecturer Dr. Lan. Well, we still managed to pull through after a hell lot of man, and woman-hours. Haha. And finally completed our structure only days before the actual run.

And as you might have heard or guessed through the title, it didn't work...during the formal test run. It did work before and after it though... =_=" Yeap. 1 human intervention for each runs and all of them in different places. Really random. So, we've gotten a 16/18 for our performance mark which will be added with a creativity mark later on.

Oh well, I guess luck just wasn't on our side that morning/afternoon. It was a really disappointing and heart-breaking moment when our machine got stuck and needless to say, our faces were extra long at that moment. -_-"

However, I felt compensated when we were rewarded full marks for creativity and our tutor and lecturer complimented us about the project. Although it didn't work properly, it was surely intimidating other teams and awed and gawked upon on that day. It's like being a proud owner of something "cool" and fancy and letting others admire it. =D *syok sendiri* wakakakkaka.

Anyway, big thanks to my teammates Choo & Kit Yee, for making this project a really fun one and quite satisfying. =D and oh... 'no paper products' =_="

Our beloved machine (forgotten to name it). Consists of wire holder, wires, metal balls, magnets, LEGO, tripods, stools, encyclopedias, pipes, tubes, wood, golf ball, die, pencil holder, aluminium sheets, duct tapes, duct tapes, duct tapes and lots and lots of duct tapes. XD

They found "Big Foot"!!!

Yes. It is true that the intelligence in Malaysia found "Big Foot"...in the parliament! Not bad huh? After evading various search teams, it has finally been found in the parliament yesterday.

Really? No lah... Where got "Big Foot" wan?

Haha. It's really interesting to see grown ups to call other adults names. Humans have been known to call their own kinds names from young. Small kids playing in the playground call each other pigs, tortoise, chicken, etc. When they are in upper primary school and lower secondary school, they start to pick up and call each other "badder" words which i know you know we all know what it is so i would not type it here. Then, we reach college and university, where most people, i repeat MOST people are not that childish anymore to call other people names. Well, not all but most, and it generally disappears.

And then, yesterday, we found out that this practice actually continues into adulthood! Wowsers mousers! They actually called each other names in the parliament! On TV! Live!!! Too bad i missed it though. Didn't know there was a live telecast. -_-" Anyway, i mean, wow! I never knew we can call each other names in parliamentary debates! I joined a parliamentary style debate in Form 4 and oh my, i think i know why i lost now. I think it's because i didnt call my opponents names. It probably would have made my speech sound more aggressive. Haha. Debators out there, true or false? XD

Well, i am just commenting from my point of view as of The Star's report on the parliament meeting/seating/whatever you call it. I really do hope that the MP(s) stop the senseless bickering and picking up bones in the egg (鸡蛋里挑骨头) and get on with trying to fulfill the promises made to the voters.
