Is singaporeans getting enough sunlight?

2010-08-26T10:27:00.000+08:00

Our body produces vitamin D from sunlight.

Vitamin D is carried in our bloodstream to the liver, where it is converted into the prohormone calcidiol. Circulating calcidiol may then be converted into calcitriol, the biologically active form of vitamin D, either in the kidneys or by monocyte-macrophages in the immune system. When synthesized by monocyte-macrophages, calcitriol acts locally as a cytokine, defending the body against microbial invaders.

When synthesized in the kidneys, calcitriol circulates as a hormone, regulating, among other things, the concentration of calcium and phosphate in the bloodstream, promoting the healthy mineralization, growth and remodeling of bone, and the prevention of hypocalcemic tetany. Vitamin D insufficiency can result in thin, brittle, or misshapen bones, while sufficiency prevents rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults, and, together with calcium, helps to protect older adults from osteoporosis. Vitamin D also modulates neuromuscular function, reduces inflammation, and influences the action of many genes that regulate the proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis of cells. (Wiki)

the point I'm trying to make here is, is Singaporean getting enough sunlight? With all the highly developed infrastructure, there is shelther everywhere we go, train stations and shopping malls are built underground. Unless we play outdoor sports, will we be able to get enough sunlight for our body's need? On a typical weekday, a person working in a office will typically go to work walking under shelthered walkway to the train station, using underpass to get to office, stay indoor in office, go home. How long is this person exposed to the sun per day?

The lack of vitamin D can be a problem easily overlooked by health institutes as the primary production is via sunlight and not via food intake.

I was looking at this article a while ago, "Doctors warn osteoporosis will be more prevalent in Asia" (CNA). I personally think promoting exposure to sunlight and understanding Vitamin D will help lowers cases of osterporosis among us. Therefore i think the priority now should not be determining the number of possible cases in the future and to set up diagnosis facility. A more pressing solution will be how to prevent people from getting osteoporosis.

Although some may think that sunlight is bad for health as long exposure to it causes skin damage, however deficiency of sunlight or vitamin D can expose you to a higher chance of cancer, influenza, osteoporosis, mental health problem etc.. If you want to find out more, go google yourselves.

Cancer can kill but can skin damage? Decide yourself.

Dell v.s. HP

2010-08-25T15:29:00.002+08:00

Dell and HP are bidding to buy 3PAR, a world data-storage leader going-to-be with its "virtualization" technology.

3PAR cuts hardware and energy costs for data storage by using "virtualization" technology, which squeezes maximum performance from machines.
"3PAR has consistently provided customers with the ability to do more with less," said 3PAR chief executive David Scott. (CNA)

Dell start with S$1.15 billion, as the deal is closing, HP made an offer of S$1.6 billion (1/3 more than dell).

Now the company 3PAR is giving Dell 72hours to outbid HP before she decide to accept HP's more superior offer.

Dell is said to be preparing to counter-bid HP. More details are yet to be released.

This is becoming interesting.. will this become a bidding world among the 2 superpowers in the personal computer industry? will this transaction be value for the cost for the one who win the bid? I wonder what will happen next...

NUS advertisement: 她有一个球

2010-08-24T17:47:00.004+08:00

i saw this advertisement while surfing the net today... i found it quite interesting.. i don't know how to extract just the gif out so i will just describe the ad here..

it is a flash, starting with the chinese characters 她有一个球 appearing one by one on a red horizontal banner..
then there is a cross drawn over the character "个"
the character 个 then disappear leaving 她有一球 then 她有一球
following by the word 粒 appearing.. 她有一粒球
after a few second, a young female student appears at the left side of the banner with the center being the description of a mandarin course offered by NUS extended school (forgot the name already).. yup.. that's all.. i know it sounds complicated.

do tell me what's your reaction after seeing this, i hope it's not just me who 想歪了, i just find the words used weird.

Clearing trays at burger king

2010-08-18T13:33:00.002+08:00

I made an observation today while having lunch at Burger King IMM..

In the short time frame of 10minutes, I observed 3 people who cleared their tray at the dustbin in front of me after they had finish their meal. This is such a considerate act of them. Truthfully speaking, how many of us will clear our own tray/plates after consuming our meal at public area. I would dare to say only few practise this culture. This act actually inspired me and made me realise that actually such acts do exist in our society.
Anyway, among the 3 person, one of them is an angmoh. This impressed me, knowing even a foreigner would perform such courtesy act in a foreign land.

PS3 is cheaper than iPhone 4G

2010-08-18T10:01:00.003+08:00

PS3 is cheaper than iPhone 4G

ps3 160GB ~$300 320GB ~$400

iPhone 4G 16GB ~$480 32GB ~I don't care..
(with plan)

with the above result, i conclude that ps3 is so much more worth than iphone with 10times more storage space and so much better graphic.. the only thing that is lacking is that it is not portable, no telephony and camera functionality.

portability is an issue, but it does not require battery so battery life is not a problem for ps3

telephony function can be easily replaced by any mobile phone at $0 with plan which has a battery life of ~50hours which is about 4-5 times more than iphone, it also eliminate the "death grip" signal loss problem which exist in iPhone4G

camera functionality is even easier to replace with a semipro compact which has better megapix, customization or might even have a optical zoom instead of digital zoom...

irritating laptop keyboard design...

2010-08-17T16:31:00.002+08:00

guys, tell you something very irritating..

I'm using this company laptop... lenovo R60.. it has a "forward" and "back" shortcut function key just directly above the left and right arrow key, beside the up arrow key.. this can be very convenient as the user would not have to shift his hand too much when he want to move back and forth between webpages...

I'm not using a mouse.. so i'm using the up and down arrow key to scroll up and down webpages... ok.. tragedy happens...

I was typing a review for modulereview.. i have typed quite a long entry... HOWEVER.... i accidentally shifted my finger and pressed onto the "back" button when i want to shift up.... this caused the web browser to "back" to the previous page... as a result of that.... i lost all the text i typed.... so i retype everthing... and the same thing happen again... i pressed the "forward" button this time... and guess what happening...

This has seriously gotten on my nerves... what stupid design is this.... stupid lenovo... stupid old laptop...

"STOP at 7" campaign

2010-08-17T15:16:00.007+08:00

8 is too much...
7 is just nice...
9 is OVERKILL...

I'm referring to the working hours of some industries in Singapore with exclusion of the manufacturing and operation division.

Following the implementation of the 5-day work week, I will like to propose the 7-hours work day for most of the industry in Singapore with the following reason as my support.

Reasons:
1) Long working hours does not necessarily reflects productivity
Most company believe that the longer you work, the more you produce, the more the company earn. However, this might not be applicable in all the industries in our society today.
From observation, during a 8 to 5 job, employees tends to adopt a slower working pace for the last 1-2 hours of work. This might be due to a combination of exhaustion of attention span or accumulation of fatigue from previous day work or other possible factors. Most of them will be waiting and longing for 5 o'clock to arrive and to catch the earliest possible bus/train home to see their loved ones or to catch some rest. Productivity is therefore low during the last hour.
This last hour can be better spent for the employee to gain enough rest so that having better attention span and drive to work better the next day.

2) Singaporeans can spend more time with their family (Social factor)
Long working hours are depriving Singaporean from spending enough time with their family and friends. This might be the cause of problems like weaker family bonds, lower procreation rate, higher teenage crimes etc etc. All these problem can be improved if Singaporeans are able to spend more time with the family. This will also work in parallel with the government's policy of encouraging newborn babies and family cohesiveness.

3) Improve company's competitiveness
If company are worried that productivity will be lowered or deadline will not be met due to compromisation of working hours. Worry not. Company has to believe that employees are part of the company. Motivated employees will be more than willing to work overtime for their employer to finish up a project assigned to them.
With better welfare given to them, employees' morale and drive will be higher at work and thus more willing and more able to contribute to the company.
This also helps lower employee turnover rate which many company are facing now, with better welfare, employees will be more likely to stay with the company. This new employee retention strategy will definitely bring advantages to the company directly or indirectly as highly skilled employees are great assets to company.

Criteria:
1) This scheme should not be implemented with lowered salary else it will bring more harm to the company. As monetary rewards is the most basic motivation of employees, it will directly and negatively affect the morale of employees. This might even leads to complaints and unproductive employees. Therefore if the "stop at 7" scheme were to be implemented, a salary cut will be a big NO-NO.. In fact, as long as the productivity of the company remain the same or improved after the new scheme, a salary cut is not justifiable.

2) This scheme will not work for some industries. Mainly the operation and manufacturing industry. As these sectors' revenue are directly proportional to the working hours or operating hours, a compromisation will means lowered revenue even though it will bring about more motivated workers. If a factory produce 14 units of goods per hour, an hour lesser of operation hour will cost the factory revenue from 14 units of goods. On another hand, if a restaurant operates one lesser hour, the revenue will be sure to be lesser. Therefore even if this scheme is implemented for these company, it might not benefit them as much.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, I personally think that this is a win-win situation, not only for the employee and the company, but also for the employees' family, for the government, for Singapore and the future of Singapore.

Disclaimer:
The above are just illustrations in my personal opinion with no fact and figures to support the claims and prediction at the time of writing. I do not hold any responsibility if this scheme does not work as predicted as more research and analysis are needed to find out the effectiveness of this scheme.

With all those said, I personally think that this is definitely feasible. I will be adding more support and figures, if possible at a later time. Comments are welcomed.

ok.. i'm back.. ya.. after lunch.. today is another day of stoning..

have being stoning quite a lot this few weeks. I realise stoning can be so straining for the eyes. It hard to keep the eyes open after a while.

I tried to explore a bit on php ajax and wordpress this morning. Does not look that difficult, maybe if i have time idea and passion i might start doing a website.. but most likely i won't be starting one because i'm so plain lazy..

i went to look at the allocation result of IA, among all the students who applied for IA this sem, I'm the only one who was attached to this organisation. This make me wonder whether i made a mistake in going for IA this semester. Maybe it will be better if i do during last sem.. since most ppl seem to go back to their IA organisation after grad.. would that make the chance of me securing a job opportunity higher?? nah.. forget it... who cares... slackkkkkkkkk....

still got 4 more hours to goooooo....... so so so so so long......... think 830 to 6 is too long a working hour for me... this is why i prefer to go for late lunch.. like that the day is divided into 2 evenly....

ahhh... i actually just typing anything that is going through my mind now.. i know most of them don't make sense.. but i don't care.. i not thinking while typing.. i'm just typing to pastime.. if you know what i mean.. hmm.. actually typing is quite enjoying.. the feel of the keys on your fingertips... seeing the words appearing on the screen and filling up the page with just a small exertion of pressure from your hand.. the sound of the keys being pressed produced a soothing melody for the ears... although it may irritate those around you as noise.. The sound synchronise perfectly with the beating of the heart.. the natural rythem created by the god.. following the rule of the golden ratio...... the dancing fingers.. the spawning letters... blah blah blah..... ya... i got nothing better to do and i don't feel like doing anything.....

tml my division go indonesia... yeah.. that means a day off from work for me... can see dear dear.. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... oh no.. my logbook is still blank... don't really know what kind of things to write.. think i going to crap out something soon... need to at least smoke my way through... right????

overall i think the ppl around me are all nice ppl.. i got nice supervisor and nice colleagues.... consider myself lucky.. too bad no common topic... a bit off... haha...

let see.. what elsee should i write....?? went to tianying blog ytd... saw this very interesting comic strips... tu si ji...

ya.. i was blog-hopping... but blog nowadays is only interesting if you read it once every few months... just like comic, anime or drama series, have to accumulate and read all at one go then shuang... right...

ok that's all for now...

google me..

2010-08-04T17:40:00.000+08:00

i'm staring at google home page.. really....

I.A.

2010-08-04T15:26:00.002+08:00

third day into ia.. and i havent really done a single thing yet..
first day.. supervisor on leave.. i read newspaper in the morning and surf net in the afternoon.. the company ban facebook and youtube.. so i go look around clubsnap.. look at ndp photo.. all the fireworks photos look so similar... shooting firework seem to be getting pointless as everyone are shooting the same thing... then while looking through the photo.. i saw a familar bronco.. 70219.. james old vechicle... so interesting.. that end the first day..

second day.. morning continue surf net.. afternoon browse through the project.. seem like it completed.. tried to understand.. but might take a while for me.. so went to read up abit about the alien terms...

today.. carry on reading... reading... getting sleepy... nothing to do.....

haha... my life is so slack... where to find... lol...

七夕许的愿望..

2009-11-30T22:47:00.003+08:00

七夕许的愿望是向牛郎星和织女星许的。。
牛郎星是 Vega, 离地球25光年。。
织女星是 Altair, 离地球16光年。。

所以如果愿望要到达他们。。
分别需要16或25年的光阴。。
往返的话需要2倍的时间。。

speed of light and relative velocity

2009-11-25T22:02:00.002+08:00

can relative velocity exceed speed of light???

if object A is moving towards object B at the speed of light, c.
and object B is also moving towards object A at the speed of light, c

so relative to object A, won't it seem like object B is moving towards it at a relative velocity of 2c vice versa?

If you could...

他拥有篮球梦
他成为地狱修罗
他知道全盘战局只能够靠自己掌控
虽感到一点疲倦
虽感到一些危险
但是在胜负分明之前绝对不会退却

cuz now he's out on the floor
and he's catchin the pass
slashin to the glass,
movin so fast, right to the hole,
they don't know how to stop him
and he keeps on droppin
2's and 3's by the second
and the crowd is rockin
so they knock him

躺在冰冷地上
只要一个深呼吸就能再冲刺全场
慢动作的世界
欢呼声蜂拥如浪
就在一分钟
过后强者加冕称王

有个女孩出现
她在人群之中永远都是第一耀眼
她总是在身边
不知心里想谁
所有男孩梦想有天能给她全世界

but the truth
is that there's someone
on the other team
someone who stole her heart
someone who holds her dreams
they kiss for the 1st
time just the other evening
her brother's 23 but
her lover's number 16

战况激烈好戏正要上演
女孩不知道自己应该站哪一边
眼神交汇局势瞬息万变
大家都屏住呼吸忍住不眨眼

16 on the break
23 on the chase
brother goes in the air
with brother up in his face
they come crashing to the dirt
tears about to burst
when the game is over
who she gonna run to first, yo

但我还是为了我的
梦想而战斗
nothin's gonna stop me

ey yo this game of life
is one big struggle
we gotta hustle just
to make it everyday
and to find ourselves a way
to fight the fears we facin
and grab those dreams we chasin
cuz there ain't no competition
when we rise to the occasion, c'mon

隧道 - 林凡

時間一分一秒
心情像白雲自在的飄
獨自坐在公園一角
任憑風衝進懷抱
十二點的鐘聲
傳遍了城市每條街道
期待擁抱又害怕會被你知道

到底是要遠遠看你
還是靠近一點更好
我不確定你是不是
我一直要找的主角
我用騙人的祈禱
騙自己我現在很好
和你在一起的每分每秒
就像走過彩虹隧道

時間一分一秒
同一座城市相互尋找
獨自坐在公園一角
看著雨後的青草
十二點的鐘聲
傳遍了城市每條街道
有誰知道我現在矛盾的心跳

到底是要遠遠看你
還是靠近一點更好
我不確定你是不是
我一直要找的主角
我用騙人的祈禱
騙自己我已經看到
忐忑不安的背後是微笑
是我們的彩虹隧道

幻想不停圍繞
它很美也很煎熬
我卻無法選擇要或不要

到底是要遠遠看你
還是靠近一點更好
我不確定你是不是
我夢中見過的主角
我用騙人的祈禱
騙自己你沒有看到
陽光底下我的心像羽毛
跟你飛過彩虹隧道

========================================

真的，我没事 - 符致逸

On and on, the pain goes on
And it wouldn't just wouldn't die
我竟远比想像中软弱且无能为力
对你的眼神选择了逃避
恨自己恨自己

On and on,
the pain lives on
It's hurting so much more
就让我被悔不当初的罪恶吞去
惩罚过后能否带来解脱

I'll be fine I'll be fine
So many cried, listening to God
让坚强不只是种伪装
So many lies, listening to you
天亮后I will be fine

On and on,
the pain goes on and
I just don't know how to cope
伸手抱住自己是否就能够不再空虚
最后信念别放弃I will be fine
I will be fine

So many cried, listening to you
希望你能再给我力量
So many lies,
listening to you什么时候
I will be fine
当我再也不对任何事期待
只剩下你只剩下你
有天当我舍弃一切见你
请你要微笑不语

So many cried,
listening to you
希望你能再给我力量
So many lies,
listening to you
什么时候I will be fine

========================================

不要对我再说爱 - 林凡
太多愛不明不白
我還在分手的那一天原地徘徊
太多事不明不白
不明白怎麼笑著走出來

不要對我再說愛
你回來
可是過去再也回不來
不要對我再說愛
我還在鞦韆上来回搖擺

太多人不明不白
我不想重新開始後還想著原來
太多人不必等待
我不能替你確定的未來

不要對我再說愛
你回來
可是過去回不來
不要對我再說愛
我還在鞦韆上來回搖擺

oh......~ya~ya
不要對我再說愛
我坦白
一直忘不了原來
不要對我再說愛
我害怕
我們再受到傷害

ya~不要對我再說愛
你回來
可是過去回不來
不要對我再說愛
就讓我
一個人靜靜搖擺
一段愛從不明白
到明白
我的眼淚才慢慢流出來

“好奇心”，“探知心”

2009-10-01T22:40:00.002+08:00

好奇心和探知心是不一样的。。

“好奇心”的‘好’指的是“喜好”“喜欢”的意思，‘奇’指的是“新奇的事物”。。

所以“好奇心”指的就是“喜好新奇的事物的心”。。是一种感觉。。

“探知心”的‘探’指的是“探索”“寻找”的意思，‘知’指的是“未知的知识”。。

所以“探知心”指的就是“探索未知的知识的心”。。是一种行动。。

两者是不一样的。。

鹿丸经典语录

2009-01-05T19:44:00.005+08:00

1)
我本来想过着随便当个忍者，随便赚点钱。。。
然后和不美又不丑的女人结婚生两个小孩，第一个是女孩，第二个是男孩。。。
等长女结婚，儿子也能够独挡一面的时候，就从忍者的工作退休。。。
之后，每天过着下将棋或围棋的悠闲隐居生活。。。
然后比自己的老婆还要早老死。。。
我就是想过这种生活。。。

2)
当个普通的下忍，早上想起的时候起来，在窗户边看一上午的云，然后吃饭，下午找点不费体力的事情消遣消遣，然后又吃饭。
当然晚上或许也得跑到喧闹的酒馆里叫老爸回家，不过都清闲了一天这点代价也可以付出，虽然不付出就更完美。

3)
真是麻烦..

belief - 1

2008-12-16T20:44:00.002+08:00

some of my belief..

1) do not waste food - there are ppl out there who can't even afford the luxury of eating or enjoying the food like we could.. if we waste them.. i think it a great disrespect to them.. so i dun like ppl wasting food.. this is not a show of sympathy.. but a show of empathy and respect for them..

2) everyone do everything for a reason - there must be an explaination to all action that ppl do.. the reason can be extreme e.g a spoilt child playing plank to gain attention.. a serial murder kills to gain recognition.. the reason can be simple.. to want to skip class to have fun.. to want to eat because feel like eating.. everything happen for a reason.. therefore if we think in that person perspective.. we will understand why it happen.. so before u judge a person.. understand them.. it is only fair to them.. we understand and we forgive and we forget and we grow stronger..

3) nice ppl deserve happiness - i really think so.. or at least i hope so.. i wish for happiness to fall upon all the nice ppl around me.. hee.. i'll be glad if my frens are contented with their life.. haha.. it can be small thing such as finding a holiday job so that he/she has some income to substain them.. or small thing such as winning a competition.. hee.. i wish for all nice ppl to be happy happy happy.. like dat i'll be happy..

alright.. the above 3 are my beliefs.. maybe i'm too native.. but i'll like to believe in them.. hee.. juz some random thoughts.. in case i forget abt them.. this can remind me.. i can be super forgetful..

All rational people do everything for a reason..

2008-12-05T17:09:00.005+08:00

regarding my previous entry..
let me make a daring assumption...
"what if A is conscious and aware of what is happening??"

this assumption may be valid.. if it is.. then it explains alot of e inrational part of the story...

story of the real world..

2008-12-02T14:01:00.003+08:00

i juz went blog hopping.. came across this fren's blog.. super sad.. super emo.. i din know so much had happened in the last few mths.. i sympatise him.. i duno why this hav to happen.. it made me starts to develop those negative feeling for those creatures.. thanks so much for treating him like a fool.. pls be more frank to him.. dun be kind.. be as cruel as u can.. this way he will be able to recover much faster bah.. i begining to not understand this species of creature alr.. are all of them like that?? it feels like what u see is always not what it really is.. lying even it is a white lie is the greatest humilation to him..

some of the quotes he wrote:

I'm sorry I never gave you that feeling.
Being in love. I did. But you didn't.

It is far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance.
Loving someone has great benefits. There is admiration, learning, attraction and something which, for the want of a better word, we call happiness. In loving someone, we become inspired to better ourselves in every way...

i hope he can get over it soon.. getting drunking and slp on the street and emo-ing is not a way to solve the prob.. althou i know u may be weak at times aft what had happen... ok.. i got nothing to say.. i myself oso duno wad i will do if i were in ur shoes.. in life.. there are juz alot of problems that has no solution.. it juz like suffering from a terminal disease.. it had alr happened.. and no matter what it wun be the same again.. so i hope he dun tink too much and will get over it soon.. haiz..

-------------------------------------------
then thr's another fren's blog entry.. her very good fren can't rmb her due to some mental illness due to stress.. that good fren of her was warded into imh.. but now she recover alr.. and they are frens with stronger bonding now...

it can be so scary..
imagine the fren who u just saw ytd can't recongnised u tml..
imagine when u ask him/her whether he/she recongnise u in the hospital ward and her reply is "i duno u.. go away.. go away.."
imagine e once happy and cheerful fren suddenly breakdown and become 疯疯癫癫..

how scary it is.. i hope this would not happen to anyone again.. i believe the pain is unimaginable and it not something an outsider like us can understand.. but i juz felt so sad for them...

but nevertheless.. everything has a happy ending.. the fren recovered and both of them were v good frens again.. i believe since this incident.. both of them will treasure and appreciate their frenship even more.. and their bonding will be so much stronger.. haha.. how sweet...

---------------------------------------------

oh.. i heard another incident lately.. this is outrageous.. it happen to a fren's fren and i heard it from my fren... so it 3rd degree info.. it did happen thou.. i shall refer my fren's female fren as 'A' and another guy fren as 'B'..
my fren along wiv her grp of frens inc A and B went clubbing one nite.. then A got so drunk.. she started going ard trying to kiss ppl..
normally under tis kinda situation.. u will try to stop her.. A tried to kiss her frens.. e frens all push her away.. but except B.. he responded.. yes.. this bastard responded to her kiss even thou 1) obviously e A is not conscious alr. 2) A and B are frens. 3) A is attached.
then he brought her to one corner to continue.. when the frens realised.. they try to stop them.. but B try to run and left the club on a cab wiv A.. e frens, worried abt A, followed aft.. they reach B's place (a small rm somewhr in the west). B then locked the door.. no matter what the frens say and do.. B refuses to open the door.. B claim that she wan to and will take care of the drunk A.. so the frens has no choice.. not knowing what is happeng inside.. they wait outside till the nx morning..
the nx day.. A came out.. alr changed into a new set of clothing.. when the fren see B.. I heard that the frens all v angry and wanted to punch B aft tat.. yes.. B for bastard..

FACT: nobody knows what happened in the room
aft tat i duno wad happen btw them alr.. heard A broke up wiv her bf aft tat and got together wiv B.. thr were sayings that B has always had crush on A.. and also another saying that B demanded A to takes responsibility for the event.. then i was tinking wth.. whr got guy ask gal to take responsibility aft he has taken advantage of her....

that's abt all e story.. i not sure how reliable is it since it is from a 3rd degree source.. but it really happens.. so can believe at least 80% of it...

but the main pt is... the moral of the story.. this story is outrageous.. i personally think B is a bastard from the story i heard... whr got ppl take advantage of fren when she is drunk one... damm him...

from many public opinion.. many think A and B will not last long in the relationship.. it's an absurd way to start one and thr no mutual love involved bah.. i believe...

i think the bf is the innocent party.. he suddenly lost his gf for no reason aft she went clubbing wiv her frens (B inclusive)..

i got nothing to say.. since i duno anyone of e ppl involve.. shall not comment... juz feel that why would irrational things like this happen in the world.. they are other stories that happened in clubs recently that appear on the news too.. i duno wad's gg on alr..

it make me lose faith in ppl.. .. .. the world is not as native as it used to be to me... haiz..

==============================================

so much said.. thr still so much i feel like saying.. but oh well.. really oh well.. what must happen will happen...

2008-11-30T22:15:00.002+08:00

heh heh.. it's the last day of nov.. and yet i felt so not motivated to do anything.. what is going to become of me?? am i going to be a childish good-for-nothing lazy bastard for the rest of my life.. haiz.. sian sian sian!!! i suddenly feel like thanking all my frens.. thanks for accepting me for who i am.. thanks for being such great company.. thank you!! Thank god for letting me meet all of u too.. everyone of u are like treasure bestow to me by mr. god and ms goddess.. i really appreciate the gift.. from the bottom of my heart..

oops.. getting mushy and sentimental alr... oh well.. who cares.. once in a while.. haha... =p

2008-10-03T00:23:00.003+08:00

saw something that make me really really scared for a moment ytd.. everything just keep gushing into my mind at that instant... good thing it's not what i thought it was.. haha.. phew..

saw a fren's blog entry.. i think i can understand what was mentioned about hall life.. i know very clearly the feeling when one is alone in the room.. it can be v v v sian.. yet.. sometimes i like living alone where noone will disturb and i can do whatever i want and hav my own peace.. basically i like the freedom i have when i not at home la.. but i oso hope thr's someone who cares to be ard sometimes.. such contradication.. haha..

nowaday everyone is busy with their own stuff.. not nice to disturb.. but so sian.. when dun feel like studying oso nthg much to do.. can only stone or watch drama... and time just flies.. and it flies quite fast... one sem is ending soon.. dun feel like going to school tml.. but go home oso nothing to do.. stay in hall oso nth to do.. dun feel like studying oso.. i not mugger... haiz... too free oso not good... exam and holiday coming.. meaning only a few more wks of sch left.. duno whether is good or bad.. meaning dun need go sch.. can stay at home.. but oso mean i gonna miss the frens and fun in sch... another contradiction...

dun feel like shooting recently also.. no mood.. cannot find purpose in shooting.. sian.. dun wan to shoot for the sake of shooting.. what is the purpose of helping?? do i gain anything?? why should i?? sometimes i will ask these.. and end up realising thr's no reason to shoot.. but i dun wan to give up halfway again.. duno la... mb a break will be a good remedy..

so childish.. .. ..

me,me and just me..

2008-09-29T21:54:00.002+08:00

sometimes i really don't know what i want.. what i'm worrying about.. what i care about and even what i writing about..

there just no motivation for me.. felt so so so so lazy.. there so many stuff i need and want to do.. but i just keep on procrastinating... and blame it on my lack of motivation.. it's so so so so unfair...

wah!!!!!! k lah.. duno wad to write liao.. if don't stop now will go on and on non-stop one.. haha...

2008-09-04T23:42:00.002+08:00

omg.. i can't believe i'm actually feeling stressed over school work.. it's so not like me loh.. but reality is there's so many quizzes and assignments coming up.. and i know nuts about my stuff..

wanted so much to stay awake during lessons today.. but i was practically sleeping in almost every class.. even i myself don't know why i felt so tired.. maybe it's the weather.. wah.. (i love rainy day) implies (only when i'm in my bed).. see.. that's discrete maths.. and i dun even know whether i use the expression correctly.. haha..

i hate effective comms... if there's any subject that will pull down my GPA.. this is going to be the culprit.. and it's not worth using S/U on a 2 AU non-examinable module.. sigh.. got assignment nx monday.. i bet it's going to spoil my weekend.. sian sian... i wan go kbox!! but i've to mug!!! who want to mug with me?? lol

tml gg pubbing wiv e-grp.. but gonna rush down... wan go home put stuff first.. then i wan a haircut also... look so ugly and nerdy now.. haha..

there still other stuff i need to think about.. think i should put them aside for awhile... mugging mode.. yeah!!

time management is super important.. but i don't care... lol..

Anyway.. haven't being blogging for quite some time.. being quite busy and not in the mood to write the past few week.. or one can say simply lazy.. haha...

School started.. lectures.. tutorials.. labwork.. blah blah blah blah... everyone around me look so stressed over studies... seem like i'm the only relaxed one.. oversleeping.. skipping lectures.. copying tutorials.. that's me... have to start to gear up already as things start to become clearer..

uoc pageant was over.. managed to get some photos.. lotsa room for improvement.. haha.. i got high expectations.. anyway this also means that jk they all will not be so busy already.. which i would say is a good thing.. can see they all work v hard during the period.. finally can relieve already.. good for them..

Everything is happening so fast.. and I was thrown into a state of confusion for a moment back then.. almost almost.. lucky..

some randomness..
- eyra is a great bunch of ppl.. so are the seniors.. ^^

Hall XI FOC

2008-08-10T23:40:00.003+08:00

omg.. so many things have happened in the last 2 weeks..

Hall Camp
- AMIGO!!
- It was actually quite fun, the good thing is there is lesser sdu involvement.. thanks goodness.. and there is a homely feeling when being with amigo... lol.. gosh.. i sounded so mushy...

- HOWEVER the whole camp is a scam!!!
- Scam no. 1: Amigo has won cheerfight for the last 7 yrs...
- Scam no. 2: There is going to be a warfight on the last night...
- Scam no. 3: There is more fake freshies..
- Scam no. 4: One of the fake freshies a real freshies...
- lol.. nevertheless.. this is what make the camp so memorable...

- we played the shooting game... alot... dong gak dong gak also.. so fun.. hee..

- The sp dinner was really weird thou, we are all dressed up and went to something like a seafood restaurant named "tekong restaurant" to have our dinner.. we have a duno how many course meal wedding dinner style.. it feel like zhong yuan jie auction loh.. v v v off with our outfit and sp beside us.. haha.. furthermore.. the first dish was buttered prawns.. when i saw it.. i was like.. jialat already.. it's even worse than chicken wings (for those who understand what i mean).. lol.. indeed it was still a special night.

- oh and we could not play the wet beach game due to the microbacteria attacking the sea.. this is abit sian..

- the climbing up the soapy slide was so fun.. although we end up with scratches and cuts all over our body..

- I can rmb the "100sec no NG" we played during amazing race.. i believe that the part when we start to bond... it was unforgetable..

- oh and i rmb how sabrina made a 5cm jump sounds like a 1storey fall.. make me so scared that i was shaking loh...

- ultimately it marks the beginning of my life in Hall XI.. there is more fun to come...

My new Schedule!!!

HK + QM + UOC

2008-07-27T13:41:00.002+08:00

So many events were going on in the last few weeks, redang, hongkong, qiangmai, uoc and hall camp.. I don't think i'm going to finish up the redang part 3, paiseh.. hah.. din't even have time to upload all the pics and blog entry also.

Some very brief summary of hk
- went there to get my cam gear, abit cheaper. Now i got my D80 finally. regret getting the 70-200 thou.
- Hk is a shopping paradise.. shop shop shop shop and take pics is wad we do whole day.
- too bad their shopping mall does not have much sitting places. So every night when we reach hotel, our feet were sore and aching from all the shopping. A different experience though.
- went to avenue of stars, marine park, the peak and lautau island.
- edwin was so scared of height that he was hugging himself on the cable car.
- generally it was really fun, although i spent a lot. My wallet is flashing red now. T_T

QiangMai
- It has being so long since i last covered any event.
- got a chance to finally test out my gear. so cool.
- Oy say the xiaohuaxiaocao pic were published in fri weekly already, haven got a chance to look at it. I wonder which pic was used..

UOC
- EYRA!!!!!!

- Although tiring. It was so much fun. pre-camp, initiation games dry and wet, night walk, pool games, beach games, candle fight, clubbing, fake freshies incidents, teamtalk, sp date, fright night, amazing race, sing-along, cheer fight and drunk night.

- Together, we played, we win, we lose, we took pics, we enjoy, we worried, we eat, we drink, we sleep, we have fun, we cheer, we hit each others, we share our feeling, we laugh, we cry, we sing, we dance, and i believe we will never forget each other.

- Thanks guys, for pardoning me being so quiet during some days of the camp, that's how i am when i'm tired. =p

some fun notes,
- i can rmb going back to our room all wet and cold for the first few nights.
- i can rmb we waited 2hrs for our turn to bathe, all 30+ppl share one toilet.
- i can rmb how we sneak into the sentosa chalet aft our beach game to wash-up.
- i can rmb how great the fright night was planned and how much effort all the seniors have put into it.
- i can rmb how hard we ran for the amazing race, how high we were during the cheer fight and how drunk we got after that.
- i can rmb how much pain, joy and memories we gave each other during the mrt and 猜拳 games
- i can rmb how fun and funny we get when we were drunk.

Last thing.. Thanks to everyone.. Eyra Rocks!!

Some side notes
There was so many ppl in camp who look like ppl who i knew before that it took me a while to get use to it. the top3 not in any specific order are:
1) duo mao mao - ps peter
when i first saw, i was like gosh, what is ps doing here. i was quite uncomfortable talking to him initially as the looks and the way both of them speak is so similar. That's why my tone was more respectful when speaking to him.
2) old frank - wesly + shunlong
old frank look like wesly and the way he speak sound like shunlong. That's why the first night was so confusing...
3) laika - pl + jenny
I'm not sure whether pl face is a common face, it not the first time i saw a pl look-alike, but lk and pl i wld say is more than 90% similar, even the way they speak. It make me wonder whether they are relatives or long-lost cousin. It would sure be fun if both of them were put together.

Ok.. next is hall camp tomorrow, I hope i can recover from my lack of sleep by then. slept 20+hrs since i come back ytd.

Redang!!! part 2

2008-07-07T20:20:00.004+08:00

Day 1

... continued.

The first thing our feet step on is water then sand follow by wooden plank.
This is because the ferry will stop you along the beach instead of a jetty so they will try to stop as close to the sand as possible.. when the water level is too swallow, we will have to walk on water to reach the island... another different experience.

We booked redang holiday resort, although the reservation booth make me a bit pissed, but the service is actually not bad. They greeted us with orange juice. Just what we need after the long ferry ride. =D

So we carry our luggage to our small cottage, it is the deepest into the resort, have to go up one steep slope, and so we carry our luggage plus 2 carton of 1.5 up the slope. It is indeed tiring, I believe meizhu will agree.

Then we saw our small cozy hut... My first impression is 'wow' then 'huh' then 'not bad leh'.. wow because of the sea and cliff and sky, and beach chairs too. Woo.. 'huh' is because the hut is smaller than we expected. 'not bad leh' is because it is air-conditional and very cozy in the hut. =)

First thing first, get used to the bed. In order to do so, everyone choose their own bed and lie down, jump around and do whatever we like. haha.

Off to the beach, it's time for beach volleyball. We play for a while, 80% of the time is picking up balls since none of us know how to play. So we end up training for tiyujie, yes correct captain's ball - our favourite game. Nothing beats running on the soft sand bare-footed. =D

Then it's time to prepare for the snorkeling trip, before that, we take turn to use the bathroom to change into our swimsuits, one toilet only. zj was teaching me how to put on contact lenses, no matter how many time I try, the lens just refuse to stick to my iris. hmph, I bought it specially for the snorkelling trip and yet, sigh.

Next we went to rent the snorkeling equipment, only one last pair of mask with adjustment for short-sighted left. It's either junzhan or xinyao and the winner is JUNZHAN with a degree of XXX. The goggle will tend to distort your facial feature and this is what jz look like with the goggle. A different him.

Off to the sea we go!! On the little fishing boat, we set off for our first snorkelling point, pulau (forgot what the island is called already).
Anyway, I duno how to swim and thread water so was pretty nervous in water. Although I have a life-jacket and snorkeling mask on, whenever i try to dive in, water keep getting into my nose.
I think I was pale white at that time, keep holding on to wangwei and ouyang's life jacket. So embarassing. Then I will try to shout "我杀了你!" with the mouth-piece in my mouth if anyone try to pull my life jacket. Ouyang experienced it a few time. Haha.. paiseh..

Nevertheless, the scene underwater was beautiful, the water is clear, can see the colored fish and the coral. When we have bread in our hand, the fish will swarm around you and without you knowing, your finger has being bitten and the bread is gone. Just like a needle poke. Very fun. Junzhan brought his digital compact underwater with little waterproof measure, not sure whether he did capture any nice underwater pics. Looking forwards to his pic.

Someone found a sea cucumber and were showing it to us, we managed to have the chance to touch it. Its black with lots of antenna pointing out soft and slimy. hmm.. that's why i don't eat them. The same reason why I don't eat eggplant. =S

When we are about to get back on boat, jz's breathing pipe came loose and drop into the sea, good thing there is some people in diving suit who managed to help us retrieve it. Thanks a lot.

We get back to boat, took a few photos and back to the island we go. Had our tea break at the dining area, a few items to choose from, very malay style and a bit redang style with coconut-rich redbean soup (day 2 was green bean soup).

After the meal, we went back wash up, clean away the salt. We begin to explore the place, went down the cliff, found a terrific spot. And with 2 master photographer, we begin our photo-shoot with the sunset. It is professional model style outdoor shoot, feels like we are going to publish our own album. We took a lot of pictures, the outcome was fantastic, from then on, we begin to shoot with more professionalism which will bring us to the story of "More More Tea" 夏日的麼麼茶。

Want to find out more???

Stay tuned for the next entry next week! since i will be going to hong kong tomorrow. Doubt I'll have the time to write. so ciao.

Lastly, the photos above were taken from wangwei's multiply and blog. Many thanks! =D

Redang!!!! Part 1

2008-07-05T20:54:00.012+08:00

Redang!!!!

Just came back from redang 2 days ago.. one word.. 爽！
The beach, the water, the sky, the sun and the stars were all so beautiful.
It's like an escape from reality. How long has it being since I last rested myself?

I took some photo on the last day using my handphone, however it did not do justice to the scenery. The photos came out full of noise and motion blur due to the high iso and low shuttle speed of the phone. Time to change phone. Yeah.

Went with junzhan ouyang wangwei xinyao zijie and 2 non-syd members simin and meizhu who I only get to know on the trip. meizhu used to be my junior in jc and now I'm her junior going-to-be. Such a coincidence

Day 0
We arranged to meet at goldenmile complex that night.
I brought a large blue travel bag, sitting on the mrt reminded me of the days in NS when I have to book in every sunday. such a turn-off. haha..
I thought I've packed too much stuff into my bag until I saw jz, ww and oy who gave me the feeling - "ok, I'm still quite light." haha.. Since they got cameras, tripod and everything to bring, understandable.

Finally, we got onto the bus. Off we go.. yeah!!

the seating formation was 4-3-1.. 4 at the back, 2 by the left, 1 to the right and 1 in front. i went in the last so end up having to be isolated.. sad.. yet this seat is actually more comfortable than the rest.. with lots of leg room and the air-con is not that cold.

The journey is super happening..
I can remember jz using the curtain as bedsheets, sleeping on the floor of the bus with his singing teddy bear playing "我爱的人" by 陈小春。

Oh and we almost played wacko using oy's tripod.

Day 1

The bus ride was not bad, although the sleep was not that good due to the excitement and the fact that I'm not used to sleeping on the bus. End up I was half asleep when we alight.

Quickly i regained my 精神。 Soon we were at the jetty waiting for the ferry. ww and I went to a nearby shop to stock up on our water supply. From his experience in tioman, this is the suggestion he gave us. 2 carton of 1.5 litre. Managed to bargain with the auntie for some discount. My stay in loganwise pays off. haha..

The ferry ride was the best part of the trip. Jz managed to find a space at the front tip of the ferry. All of us gathered there taking photos, enjoying the sea breeze hitting onto our face and messing up our hair. We were so high, the gals jz and ww were sitting outside at the edge of the ferry, it feel like one huge wave or one sharp turn can knock them off the boat but nevertheless it's the best seat available. =D

Finally.. we are reaching our destination, Pulau Redang..

Want to know what will happened to us??
how did jz turn into an antler?
what did oy get for his gf?
Why does WW's tripod produce a sound??
What does our small and cozy house by the cliff look like???
Want to look at our photos??

Stay tune, the next blog entry will be up shortly.

To be continued...

(p.s: tired already)

new new resolution

2008-07-05T20:18:00.003+08:00

I figured that it is time that I revived this blog and try to write in proper english. (there will be a lot of grammer mistakes)

I've made some minor changes to the template so that it will look slighty more pleasing for the eye. There is still some problem with the text wrapping on its own which I do not know how to solve. Is there any experienced one who can assist?

Anyway, I suddenly felt quite motivated to go back to photography. Having slacked for so long, it should be time I commit myself into it.

I want to create photo stories of memories in video format that can touch one's heart.

Shall try to work towards this goal. But first, in order to do so, there is a few things that need to be done.

1) get the gear (d80 + lens + flash + tripod)
2) 拜师 learn shooting from scratch
3) post-photo editing (photoshop)
4) movie editting
5) music editting
6) increase collection of music
7) brush up on fashion knowledge skill and sense(portrait shots)
8) and a lot a lot more

Omg, it's a lot of work. I hope this motivation can last.

18-200mm zoom lens issues

2008-07-05T01:57:00.006+08:00

18-200mm zoom lens issues

As super-zoom lenses with ranges of 10x or higher become increasingly common, an interesting optical issue will be experienced by more photographers. Many thanks to Hang Chen, Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Central Missouri who contacted our Forums following his experiences with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR zoom.

Under certain conditions, Professor Chen noticed the Nikkor 18-200mm at 200mm delivered approximately the same field of view as his older Nikkor 35-135mm did at 135mm when fitted to the same D200 body. Surely the longer focal length of the former lens should deliver a field approximately 1.5 times smaller. Some investigation was clearly in order.

Below are images taken with the Nikkor 18-200, 35-135 and 75-300mm lenses at focal lengths of 200, 135 and 200mm respectively. All lenses were fitted to a D200 mounted on a tripod to ensure a consistent position. As you’d expect, the 35-135mm at 135mm delivers a wider field of view than the 18-200mm does at 200mm. The latter field is also roughly the same as that from the 75-300mm set to 200mm. So far so good.

Nikkor 18-200mm at 200mm
(focused at infinity)

Nikkor 35-135mm at 135mm
(focused at infinity)

Nikkor 75-300mm at 200mm
(focused at infinity)

Where things get strange though are at closer range as seen below. Again, all images were taken with a D200 mounted on a tripod in a consistent position. Here the 35-135mm at 135mm appears to deliver pretty much the same field of view as the 18-200mm does at 200mm. In contrast, the 75-300mm at 200mm delivers a tighter field, which is what you’d also have expected from the 18-200mm at 200mm.

Nikkor 18-200mm at 200mm
(focused at 3m)

Nikkor 35-135mm at 135mm
(focused at 3m)

Nikkor 75-300mm at 200mm
(focused at 3m)

While our reviews reveal lenses with the same focal length ratings often deliver slightly different fields of view, none have resulted in such a big difference. Under certain conditions, could the 18-200mm at 200mm really have no advantage over the 35-135mm at 135mm? We contacted Nikon UK’s professional support department to find out.
Many thanks to James Banfield from Nikon UK for the following explanation:

“What the reader is experiencing is due to an anomaly that happens with all lenses but is more pronounced with zoom lenses that cover vast focal ranges.

As you may know a lens focal length is calculated with the lens focused at infinity. The focal length on any lens however varies depending upon the point of focus due to the element groups shifting. On a fixed focal length lens this subtle variation is normally unnoticeable but zoom lenses amplify this occurrence and this variation becomes increasingly more obvious as the focal range of the zoom increases.

With lenses like the 18-200mm VR the focal range is so large that the effect can be quite visible - on this specific lens it is more noticeable when focusing on near objects close to minimum focusing distances, as proven by the reader, where the field of view is much wider.”

So there you have it: the focal length quoted on your lens is with it focused at infinity, and will vary to some degree as the lens is focused at closer distances. As explained by Nikon, this effect is most noticeable with zoom lenses sporting long optical ratios when focused at their closest distances. It’s not a new anomaly by any means, but one which has become more obvious as super-zooms have become more common.

Ultimately super zoom lenses like the Nikkor 18-200mm VR still deliver genuine 11.1x optical ranges and genuine 200mm focal lengths when focused at infinity, but it’s worth knowing their power will be reduced relative to lenses with smaller zoom ratios when focused at close range. For more details on this lens, check our Nikkor 18-200mm review http://www.cameralabs.com/features/18200_issue/

凉风 - 不得不看的一部漫画

2008-01-31T23:54:00.001+08:00

================================
凉风 - 不得不看的一部漫画是那么的贴近现实,我非常喜欢！
值得珍藏一生的震撼漫画：凉风，I''S，草莓100%（青春励志，看了也感动）：什么才是你的纯爱？怎么没什么人来讨论这部漫画呢？
喜欢，就是淡淡的爱；爱，就是深深的喜欢。
一出平淡的懵懂爱恋，底下却是暗潮汹涌的爱慕和思恋，大声说，想要在一起！
心在跳，心在痛，大概这就是笑着流泪
只为爱！任性的爱~~~再见了，年少的回忆
我还真是个没人爱的孩子
还真想当一回男主角，呵呵

剧情简介
「如果去了东京，如果上了高中，是不是能改变些什么呢？」抱着这样的期待，15岁的秋月大和离开广岛，独自一人来到东京考高中并寄宿在叔母经营的澡堂兼女生公寓里。突然，大和发现，当他来到东京第一天时在学校操场上练习跳高的那个漂亮的女生居然住在他隔壁。与大和的笨拙，做事无责任心形成鲜明对比的是凉风的努力拼命和完美主义。性格强烈的反差的两人，充满个性的女房客，凉风敬慕的神秘学长，两人之间的故事会不会顺利的进行下去呢······
作者以其独特细腻的角度去表现出年轻男女之间懵懵懂懂的羞涩爱情，男女主角们分开之后又会再次相逢，这中间还有其它女生介入男主角的情感世界，之后发生出更多的爱眛剧情。
三个主要角色
朝比奈凉风：女主角
性格：完美主义，口是心非，任性，内柔外刚。特长：跳高，骂大和，用微波炉做水煮蛋~~
秋月大和：男主角性格：随便，马虎，做事不认真，对人温柔（想到真中），比较执着特长：短跑
樱井萌果性格：害羞，不自信，体贴，专一特长：做饭

外传地址：http://www.tuku.cc/comic/1815/ 果然还是很可惜美纪只在一旁
转：个人感受及评价
《凉风》给我的感觉是每个人物都把性格刻画出来了，这么说吧，如果漫画里的人来到现世，你可以根据漫画的描写猜到这个人物在面对某某情况是会如何做。这一点是很出色的，不象一些二流漫画，人物还没记地长相就消失了（草莓的人物描写也好！小司无敌，太完美了！咳咳，走题了）。还有就是《凉风》的剧情给人的感觉很真切，不是那种看上去就感觉假的那种，自己会不知不觉的联系起自己的生活，像我有一朋友，他的经历现在几乎和《凉风》的一致（到了和萌果交往阶段，不过我不希望那个女孩重蹈萌果的覆辙，所以我一直在帮忙撮合~~~）就像有的人说的，《凉风》给人的感觉很真实很平淡，就像漫画的名字一样，这是凉风出彩的地方，但也是它人气提不上去的一个原因（现在的人，被现实压抑太大，所以比较喜欢超现实的东西）
《凉风》就像另一个帖子的标题一样：别样的细腻与感动。在现在百合，后宫横行的局面下，《凉风》能走到这个地步真的已经很难得了。（连校园漫画王者的安达居然都被强停！真实bl，gl当道啊）
从风格上说《凉风》属于安达式恋爱（所以我多次提到安达），没有什么大的动荡，地球也不是围着主角转的，从一件件生活小事入手，中间穿插着校园运动（不过安达作品中，运动与恋爱并重，像touch，h2，而《凉风》中运动只是起陪衬和牵引剧情的作用），可以说是校园纯恋爱（无bl，gl，虽然有一些服务读者的镜头，但那也是没办法啊，要人气的），商业化不是很严重（不象柯南，犬xx什么的），给人一阵清新的空气的感觉。
不过怎么说我也稍稍比较一下吧。从设置上，《草莓》无疑比《凉风》庞大的多，从初三到高中毕业（之后就那么几张图，就忽略了），人物光算男女主角就有东南西北中5个，如果在加上梢，大草，天地什么的就更是多了；而《凉风》，除了我贴图和介绍的之外就基本没有什么有影响的人物了。然后是人物刻画，这方面两部作品都是很出色的，不过描写方法有些不同，《凉风》多是通过对主角的直接心理描写达到的，而《草莓》则常常通过侧面衬托和评价。还有就是结局（《凉风》以动画结局为准），这方面无疑《凉风》占了上风，很自然，也很美丽，而《草莓》由于设定过于宏大，后面让人感到收不住了，结局很仓促，有些虎头蛇尾（虽然我是西军，但还是对结局不满）。
总结：好了，我能说的就这么多，剩下的各位自己的品评了。我只说一句：喜欢《草莓》不需要讨厌《凉风》，这两部漫画都很出色，少看任何一个都很可惜；你可能会不喜欢《凉风》，但你不会讨厌它

NS Life:
- here it come... woohoo.. taiwan trip.. tml.. midnight flight.. so exciting.. although most of the time will be spent outfield.. but the 3days R&R is enough to hype me up... can't wait to go shopping.. lol.. my second time on a flight.. first time is to malaysia which is like more than 12 yrs ago if i rmb correctly.. tat time still a child.. no ability to think yet.. tink i cried on the trip.. lol.. silly me.. ppl go holiday happyhappy but i cried.. haha.. anw.. lookg forward to the trip.. yeah..

- armour scout platoon course (ASPC) hav being gg on for 2wks liao.. so much happened last 2 wk.. did so many things.. 3/9/12km fast marches.. navigation exercise (navex) at lower mandai/marsiling area.. recce practical summary test which is oso another navex at marsiling area.. with full recce trooper load.. basically.. we walked a lot with heavy load.. my legs are dying.. blisters growing in blister.. but overall.. it's an exciting and neverbefore experience..

- expecially the navex.. tiring but fun.. it's awesome.. we topo.. we sing.. we walk.. we argue.. we slack.. we almost got lost.. we are wet.. but we still the first one to get to our end point.. WHOOOOSH!!... it's something like amazing race.. they give u checkpoint.. u hav to go get the password from each checkpt.. giv u map.. compass.. combat ration.. with a strength of 5 in our grp (et,my,ben,px and me) we start off.. lower mandai.. consider ourselves lucky tat day.. our first checkpt was ez.. juz ard a prominent bridge along the main track.. so juz hav to pace ourselves thr.. unlike some other who hav to bash their way thru the thick vegetation to find their first checkpt.. total got 3 checkpt for day navi.. need to find 2 to pass.. ok.. we safely secured one..

- our second is quite deep in at the top of one of the knoll.. so we bash from knoll(small hill) to knoll.. quite far.. almost thought we got lost.. but we persisted and finally reach a place where we tink our second checkpt is.. (we were quite sure).. so we put down all our load and split up to search for e piece of paper tat contain e password.. cannot find.. only find one tat is 5yrs ago one.. duno whether tat's e one anot.. we continue searching expanding our area of search.. then it start raining.. omg.. we got wet... then mist start rolling in.. visibility got poor.. no choice.. got to stop and carry on.. else no time to finish everything.. after more than an hr of search.. we found nothing.. sian..

- nx by right if we bash north we can reach a pipeline where we walk west will lead us to somewhere near our 3rd checkpt which is beside a stream.. so we keep bashing north.. however we somehow reach a deadend.. it a big big long stretch of hole which seem unpassable.. oh no.. north is a deadend so we try west.. aft some walk we duno where we are.. good.. north is still unpassable.. and we duno whether west will lead us out.. uncertainty falls in.. e terrain was harsh to manuever.. there was plants wiv thorns everywhere.. big logs.. up and down slopes.. and to make it worse.. it's raining and we are all wet.. good.. we are lost.. dun care liao.. keep gg west and then try north whenever possible.. we pass by v steep slope where we hav to slide down and thorn plants which our stuff keep getting hooked.. and finally we emerge out of the vegetation onto the track.. still unsure of where we are.. we met pf's team who is walking along the track and is similarily having no clue of where they are.. good.. at least we are not alone.. :P.. haha.. what an adventure..

- actually tat track is where the pipeline is.. so if we go west we will reach the log point.. however we duno.. so we juz continue west along the track with pf they all.. we need 2 checkpt to pass.. we found one.. missed one.. so the third one is our last hope.. but since we duno where we are.. we duno when to break track into the vegetation.. original plan was to emerge out from the vegetation to the track directly north of 2nd checkpt then walk duno how many steps then break track into the vegetatn to find the last chkpt.. tat wld sound ez.. but since we did not go directly north juz now.. it is impossible to find it using tat method.. at the verge of giving up finding e last checkpoint and failing the exercise.. we saw another junjie team emerge out from the vegetation in front of us.. as friendly as usual we approach them and shunbian try to find out whr we are.. to our surprise.. we are juz outside our 3rd checkpt.. their grp got the same checkpt as ours.. and they juz came from tat checkpt.. so we ask them for direction.. kindly they told us.. and so we went in.. saw the stream.. look ard.. saw e paper.. e password.. woohoo.. our checkpoint.. now we got 2 chkpoint.. hee.. how lucky can we be.. so now what left is getting to the end pt and wait for night navi..

-happily we go.. but was forced to stop at log point 1 till 1430 due to the rain.. the time will stop too.. so tt fine we us since we get to rest and shunbian consume our lunch.. from log pt1 to end pt was abt 10km walk.. vvvv far.. plus the many split road along the way.. one wrong choice of 50:50 could lead to awful consequences.. so we start off.. walk walk walk.. along track.. nature park.. track along expressway.. under fly-over.. walk walk walk.. and choose choose choose.. left or right.. good thing is our instinct were v accurate.. or shld i say we were lucky.. haha.. e route we chose are all correct... hee.. zai sia.. haha... din noe beside expressway got these kinda track to walk one.. along the way still got large area of grass patches.. seem like fairy tales like dat.. so surreal.. those neverending large area of grasses which i tot can only be found in story bk or other country is right in front of me in singapore.. amazed.. it drive me so excited.. it will be a good place for picnic if it is a bit more accessible.. haha.. anw by the time we reach e endpt.. it's almost 6pm.. can imagine how far we walk.. and we are the first team to reach.. whoosh!!

- tats for the day.. adventures aft adventures.. first time in my life i'm experiencing so many new and exciting stuff in juz one day.. lol.. super high.. the nite is oso v exciting.. got 2 checkpt.. need one to pass.. so we juz go one can liao.. our checkpt totally same as pc last time.. so he give us lotsa lotsa tips and direction.. haha.. not consider cheating la.. more like making full use of our ability to gather info.. hee.. so we found it with ease.. it at e end of the main road up a knoll quite high and steep.. so we have to walk v far and climb v steep slope in e dark.. exciting.. on e knoll we shine torchlight at every tree to find tat password.. it is v open on top.. trees are sparse.. e highest point of tat area.. we are thr.. then it start raining.. yes.. again.. which means lightning might come soon.. and if lightning comes.. whr do u think it will strike first.. i dun wan to end up fried.. keepin tat into consideratn.. we quickly find our password and slowly go (almost sliding) down the way we came.. the great escape from zeus.. lol.. due to e rain.. we decided not to go find e second chkpt.. thou it doesnt seem v hard.. but we all super tired liao.. so return.. on the way back.. almost step on a snake sleeping in the middle of the main road.. its juz one more step away from ben.. good thing he noticed.. else duno wad will happen.. phew.. tat was really close.. hee.. due to the aid of pc.. we are the only team of aspc to find the checkpt at nite on the first try.. felt so zai.. lol.. our luck was really good tat day.. if we were to stop searchg for our 2nd password and carry on earlier.. we will not be able to chance into junjie's team.. and might not be able to find our 3rd checkpt so easily.. imagine if we were to make a left turn instead of a right during one of the 50:50.. we will be lost.. and wad will happen if we nv notice e snake.. thrfore i tink we are really lucky.. with the help of god.. we successfully completed our navex.. thank god.. =D

- e rest of the grp oso met with lotsa adventure.. jr they all went swimming in the stream.. zd they all almost sink into the marshland.. then nx day their boots super smelly.. quite dangerous come to think of it.. but on another perspective... it is an once in a lifetime exp.. how many time in ur life will u get suck in by mud?.. haha.. navex was fun.. (as long as u dun get lost) haha..

need to go slp liao.. ltr 5+ need to wake up.. 7 need to reach camp.. serve me right.. anw shall continue tml if i free... will be back in aftnn b4 gg airport at nite... signing off.. what a crappy entry..

regardg my 7may post.. paiseh hor.. abit agitated.. haha.. but seriously.. i really feel tat ppl shld learn to treasure those ard them.. while they are still ard.. and not until u really lose them then u regret.. regret.. and also those who have it shld really feel more fortunate than those who are deprived from it.. take for example.. food.. those who hav the luxury of good food should really appreciate them and try not to waste them.. think about those who dun get the chance to enjoy the food.. oh btw i realise there 3 things that i dislike.. one of them is ppl wasting food.. shall not elaborate more.. the reason are above stated..

2nd thing i dislike is ppl wasting other ppl time.. this is v common in SAF.. sad sia.. u see.. if 10 person were to wait for 1 person for 10mins.. total of 100mins will be wasted.. and tat alot leh.. especially when u realise u are almost 20yrs into ur life journey.. time is precious.. similar to food.. lol...
