September 19 update on progressJust to inform all about the progress. I will engage a counsel as it seems virtually impossible for an unrepresented litigant here to put up a convincing plea in mitigation. I may also require for furthur clarification from the chamber regarding some of the charges. Therefore I will put up an adjournment on Friday and may consider revoking the PG decision. If that happens the case may be extended to 2 to 3 months. Anyway I am still yet to decide how to go about with the charges.
To summerise, what I mean is: Don't worry abt me on Friday since nothing is going to happen. Just go there to show up and stand down.
Again I want to thank all my friends for giving me their invaluable support and encouragement, putting up the bail sum and standing as the bailor. I also want to thank RJC for its support in mitigation, NUS tutors and teachers for their advices, my IO for his heartest support and all those who have helped me in one way or another! It is really a great thing to have so many friends around!!! September 18 Hey I am back to MSN space!Long time no blogging seems MSN space has changed a lot!
Ha this is just to inform anyone who is concerned of me that I am perfectly alright and hopefully the mess is getting better! Don't worry too much about me! Thank you all! Love you my friends!
I will give a much more detailed account of the entiring dramatic n sensational news after it has been settled since now I am still quite occupied in dealing with it. But anyway I have to say that I have really learnt a lot of interesting n meaningful lessons, especially from my new friends in QRP. Just wish all of them good luck as well! And a special note for Mr. Jin Zaifu from Yanbian, Jilin: Hope everything goes well for you and you can reunion with your family soon! I believe you will be able to raise enough school fees for your son! Embark on a new leaf in Korea! Good luck!
To others: Pls treasure n appreciate the life we have now! We are so blessed compared to those poor people in either the rural part of China, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. We should do our best in improving the world and giving a helping hand to those needy people instead of wasting our time doing meaningless things! We should endeavour in making our nation and the world a better place for all!
I really dont think the Government should be so draconian in dealing with illegal foreign workers, afterall they also contribute to the economy and they really have no choice. They are hardworking people and that's why they take the risk of caning and imprisonment instead of commiting stealing and robbery which give them much easier money. Most of them are law abiding citizens who have never commited any offences in their own countries and they just come here for the hope of a better future. They cannot choose where and which family they were borned in and they are just trying their best to get a better life!!! Most of them are not even concerned about their own desires n wants, they put their family and children in the first place. Probably they are the most selfish people I have ever seen. Even when they are in remand, they are not worrying about their own predicament in the prison. All they worry is that now they are unable to earn money to support their family and their schooling children. Caning is by no mean a deterence for them since before they come, they have already prepared to experience three strokes of cane anyway. They are the real MAN, they have tried their best to bring a bette life to their family! They are so strong, resoluted and determined! It is really sorrowful to see so many kind and honest people are caned while their employers who even refuse to give them well deserved salary getting away from the law.
Of course I understand that the Government has absolutely no obligation in helping them since almost all of us are extremely selfish. Singapore is not a charity organisation, but shouldnt the government be less draconian in dealing with the illegal workers? Maybe the regulation can be losen and it is also beneficial for SIngapore's international reputation. With suitable measures I believe that we can utilise these workforce in a more effective a manner and give everybody a chance. As such a beautiful country, Singapore should not become a painful experience for so many people.
Again, to all my privileged friends, maybe besides satisfying our own desire, we should try to do something for the poor. Not everybody who is poor is lazy, he may just lack the right opportunity. Even if everyone of us donate $1 to the poor people, the world will become a much better and hamonious place! Pls my friends, do your part and you will be blessed! We also need to study hard and work hard so that we could be a contributor to the society! I also urge that for people who are enjoying an extravagent life, material wellness may not grant you happiness. Eat one less pack of snack a day, it makes a difference!
Although I have not been crying for a few years aldy, I really cant stop weeping when typing this entry, the unequality in the world is really disheartening. Again, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
P.S. I hate seeing exclamation marks all over the place but I really cannot control myself this time, so I hope for your kind understanding. April 05 This too will passI don't really want to pen down this entry, felt greatly depressed after the recent common test. But I shall never try to escape from the cruel reality, simply because I cannot. Although I was wondering how badly I would perform, I have never realised that it was possible to be so disastrous. I was slacking too much, I was not doing consistent work, I skipped too many lectures and tutorials although I believe that they would not really help anyway.
It is meaningless to make up excuses to comfort myself, even if the teacher was ultra strict and I was cursed by all means, it was still possible to get acceptable results as long as I was not lazy. Wasting time in the past failure is completely worthless, instead I think I should focus on how to improve. Practice makes perfect, simple exercises can rid of loads of ridiculous mistakes.
We always say that everything will be fine as long as we are able to face it. So I must try my best to cheer up and confront whatever difficulties with courage. Life is still going on, the future is still attractive, I am still busy with all sorts of matters. Hopefully I will get more time after May and take a while to think about the past, present and future carefully. It is time to think about our future as touted by mc, well I agree.
The aftermath of common test is of course the mass production of muggers, and I would be glad to join this league. However how to transform from temporal mugger to habitual mugger to intuitive mugger and finally non-mugging learner is the question to examine. Mugging has negative connotations, we always say that life is not all about mugging, but it is about LEARNING. We learning has become a mechanism that seems inherent to us, we can truely enjoy it and benefit from it.
Finally, congrats to those who did marvellously well. But more importantly, for those who didn't, don't despair, don't panic, we can always fight a splendid battle in the near future. Nobody is perfect. (Sounds Ah-Q-ish+quixotic right, anyway I appreciate both of them)
Nothing is permanent, they all come and pass away, life just passes away. This too will pass.
February 11 Career test
http://quizfarm.com/test.php?q_id=119158 An entry using the school's tablet PCBorrowed a tablet PC, Compaq tc4200 for the ntu-jc challenge, now the presentation was over, so got a wkend to play with it.
The handwriting recognition is not bad, feel it's slightly better than those for PPC, especially for whole sentence recognition.
Quite impressed by the anti-scratching screen, I tried to use my full strength to write on it and the screen still remains intact. It is hardened so that even I press very hard on it, the LCD screen will not appear to be squeezed. And it seems to be able to stand much higher pressure than PPC LCD.
The screen can be rotated freely, which is great for use in the washroom=) Another convenient function is the 'ctrl+alt+del' button, saves time pressing the 3 keys. It is not programmable (at least not so straight-forward for me), so the security will not be undermined.
One shortcoming is the heavy weight, although it does not have an internal optical drive and its 12 inch screen, the weight is comparable or even heavier than my dell 500m. I doubt its mobility...
Finally the ntu-jc presentation is over, now can relax a bit by doing tutorials and get prepared for the booth exhibition next wk.
SAT is abt to out soon, gd luck to all those who have taken it. January 28 yeah!!Finally the SAT is over, and we can enjoy the chinese new year! Wish all a happy CNY and desirable scores=)
Anyway it's done already, still can take another round in May. Just remember to keep the word 'integrity' out of mind,haha.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! January 10 Rate your mind
December 31 Happy new year to all!Wish everybody a happy new year, and have a wonderful 2006!
here is the new yr present: 2006 jc2 classes timetable >_< (YEAH, no more PW,yeah yeah, 1 hr less everyweek)
December 23 Malacca settledFinally we settled the trip to Malacca, 118 bucks for 3D2N, though actually we only have 2 days to spend. The VISA is atrocious, $14 application fees and $16 service fees to the travel agency! Dunno why the stupid high commission no longer accept walk-in VISA application...
It seems on the map that Malacca is a town tiny enough to wonder around on foot, and nearly all the places of interests are clustered together besides the river. Hope it will be a pleasant trip.
The Moor blk is being torn down at an astonishing pace (at least in singapore), unfortunately I cann't see much from the courtyard. I guess the staircase and the rooftop of Hullett are some wonderful spots to witness the collapse of Moor=)
Today got Christmas dinner, only served at 730 and nothing will be provided b4 that. December 14 Job attachment is over!Yeah finally the long stretched job attachment is over!(although I purposely willingly skipped 1 wk, still feel it was too long)
Yesterday our supervisior treated us Pizzahut, and 5 of us spent about 120 bucks!! i.e. 3*9" + 1*12" =O and some people still complained that he was still hungry,hmms...
As predicted, we are always excellent at last-minute work. We only started taking pictures, writing referral letters and setting up the user profiles of their computers from 4pm today. This stupid act resulted in leaving the office at 6:10pm, reaching the hostel at 7:40pm! and I still hadn't had my dinner, absolutely atrocious.
Here comes the conclusion:
What have I done:
1. Teach disabled people how to use computers.
2. Play with the Linux system more deeply than I've ever done.
3. Finally I have fully understood what is the Domain and what is the Active Directory, and greatly in love with Windows Server 2003 =P
4. Learnt how to use 3DS MAX, though not in depth.
5. First encounter with Sun machines.
6. Got a free Tape drive! yeah!! though it was old but it was not used at all. 4GB per tape is still not bad.
7. Broke an "unbreakable" Corelle cup into fine powders ("American shit", said Ms Regana) , dun believe in Americans.
8. Got many free computer books, though absolutely obsolete
What I would like to do but hadn't done:
1. Get a decent pay.
2. NAT with the router.
3. I want their switch, their Sun machine, their projectors, their 3D stations and etc=P
Anyway, it's over. Can focus on SAT already, gd luck to all those taking it next January! November 17 Sun SparcStation 10Today our boss showed us a vintage server, the SUN SparcStation 10, and ask us to do sth about it. The server was manufactured in 1992, with extremely powerful hardwares. It consists of 4*50MHz CPUs, 128MB SDIMM, 2*1.0GB harddisk! Maybe some ppl may think that's very lousy, but remember, IT WAS 1992! That's about the same time I started playing with my first computer, an 80286. My computer has a 20MHz max CPU, 1MB DIMM and 40MB harddisk... And the floppy drive was the 5.25" type which breaks easily. The SparcStation 10 was about 100 times more powerful than my 286 in most aspects... I did not know what did "GB" mean until 98 sth, and my first 128MB SDRAM was bought around 2000.
Without much knowledge about the Solaris, we could not do anything about this monster. Moreover, only the main body is still preserved, we cannot find the monitor, the keyboard (which is a strange connector, looked rather like S-VIDEO port), the mouse (connected to the keyboard! The oldest optical mouse which requires a special mousepad to work) and any peripherals. In order to play with it, we must use remote connection to log on, like what you do when configuring a router.
Spending the whole morning and part of the afternoon on this pretty thing, we were not able to proceed at all. I could not find a manual that is simple enough for me to understand, and I think I must to be familiar with the Solaris 2.6 before I could log on it remotely. Cannot find out much useful information as well because it was really too old.
I need help from anyone with knowledge about the Solaris system, and your help will be greatly appreciated!!
 The body
 The interior November 15 First day of job attachmentSince we have to come out with a report at the end of our attachment, maybe it is a better idea to start jotting it down from now.
The first day =)
Thinking it would not be nice to be late on the first day, I woke up at 6:45 early in the morning. Fortunately we do not need to wear any funny clothes which make people look like air-con technicians.
We spent about one and half hour on the way to our company, the Disabled People Association. Look at its name, think what are we going to do? I assure that you won't be able to imagine it.
There were 4 attaches, two SM2s, Yuxing and I. Our boss was an Indian guy, Mr. Rama. He said he studied in the US for his BA/MA degree, and he looked quite pro. As soon as we got there, he gave us a briefing about what we are supposed to do. As what he said, I and a SM2 girl were to do 'Office work', basically meant photocopying I thought. However he told us since the office staffs were doing something quite important, we won't start working until around 11. Before that we could just loitering around the office and see whether there was anything interested us.
The other 2 guys were told to do 'IT' work, he then went on and specifically explained it. Since the DPA is moving before December, they need to change their address on their website. It is a huge website with about 4GB data, a few thousand pages, and on nearly every single page there is the DPA's address. Their work was changing the address to the new one. It sounds not very exciting, I thought. Just use some editing software to replace the address lah.
He then showed us their 3D reality system, which was used to demonstrate the feeling of wheelchairs=X It seems pretty nonsensical and I just doubt whether the employees use the system to watch movies=) The system was quite straight-forward, it consists of two computers each connecting to a projector. In front of each projector, there is a polariser. One of it is horizontal and the other is vertical. When people are looking at the screen with a spec also consisting of two polarisers, the two images only go into respective eyes. So the two eyes are actually receiving different images. The special thing about this system is, two special graphic cards are used. NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G!!! A graphic card with 256MB memory, 2 DVI connectors, Genlock and Framelock features!! It would be wonderful to play Doom 3 or Prince of Persia,haha.
Here comes the most pertinent part of our work today, since it will take a great amount of time to download the DPA website from its server (an external server at Pacific Internet), we would start with checking and repairing their computers. There were numerous outdated laptops, desktops and one server. I was most interested in the server, it got a HP tapedrive. Although it was a very old model which was donated by HP, it still appealed to me. This was the first time I played with tapedrives=) Basically we were repairing and troubleshooting computers for the whole day, from 9 to 5:30!
There were some episodes, we could surf the net, check our mails and play games while installing Windows 98 (or 2000) on their tortoise computers. I also did some other work such as putting letters in to envelopes while I got a headache with their lousy coms. An office lady said she would teach us how to do accounting tmr, which sounds much more intriguing than playing with the stupid machines. Quite looking forward to it=)
Then there are something sad, actually a lot of sad things: Chem O kicked out, Bio O didn’t get into the prac round, 3S must appeal, NRP symposium is coming yet my presentation is still in the air=(((
Well, I am too tired to feel sad now. October 29 人生中有利的十种情绪(一)爱与温情

October 18 Olympiad woesChem O selection test was horribly done... Only the first qn was done based on knowledge, the others are all based on 'logical deduction' =X hehehe...dunno how many marks I can get.
Anyway, at least I got in Bio O, which means I need to do 200mcqs in 4hrs, crazy ppl. MathsI did even worse than my worst prediction, but finally relaxed after knowing how badly I have done.haha, it becomes the 2nd lowest... juz higher than bio,sigh. October 17 BiologyIncredible, unbelievable, improbable, ridiculous, inconceivable, implausible... Though it was not a high mark, but still worth rejoicing, since: 1.There is improvement than commontest. 2.Much better than my expectation. 3.Full marks for essays, maybe once in my life only. 4.If I still feel sad, I would have to commit suicide already. Cheer up! Must forget about the demoralising test and work hard next year. Physics=((((((((((((((((((((((((( I SUCK. |
