The Elephant in the Jumbo Jet

I like how that sounds. The Elephant in the Jumbo Jet.

If I ever am going to write a children book, that will be the title.
And his best friend will be a snake. So it could be a snake on a plane.

And they would both go on adventures together, flying around in a jumbo jet - The elephant and the snake.
And they would meet a cowboy who loves to bake.
And have ham with his cat by the lake.
Or perhaps green eggs which Dr Seuss would make.

If you haven't guess, this post will be about random stuff. Because I am so bored with studying.

So anyway, in IVLE, the aims of ML4223 is about "advance materials...for lasers and optoelectronics applications...devices for energy conversion...materials for high temperature and high-pressure applications, nanotubes, nanowires and their applications..."

Apparently, much of the syllabus have changed, and they should rename ML4223 Current Topics On ADVANCED MATERIALS to ML4223 Current Topics On MAGNETIC MATERIALS in IVLE.
Then again, in retrospect, it is lucky he decides to just focus on magnetic materials, or we will be in a whole other world of confusion.


And I would love to call this brain food. Because it looks like it.

But no. Its just tuna + mayo + lime/lemon + pepper + shredded chicken. It fills my stomach, and helps me concentrate.
And its 2 packets of coffee + 1 packet of milo + alot of ice in that thermo-cup. It helps me stay awake. And I would like to call that brain drink, because caffeine really helps memory work.


And lastly, a rainbow. This photo doesn't do it any justice at all. It was beautiful, especially with the wonderful evening sun behind the picture.

It's back to study again.
Sigh.

And I am still haven't found my answers yet...
Oh well...

Japanese Ad

Okay, I know I just posted an entry a while ago.

But I had to do another one, 'cause I stumbled upon this funny thing from Nicholas' blog. Lifted up my spirits a little. Hah.

Sorry, Nicholas for leeching so much stuff of your blog. =)



Dragon sensei reminds me so much of one particular prof of ours. HMmmm....

What's My Major


You scored as Biology/Chemistry/Geology

You should strongly consider majoring (or minoring) in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, or related majors (e.g., Biochemistry, Environmental Science, Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife, Genetics, Marine Biology, Zoology).

It is possible that the best major for you is your 2nd, 3rd, or even 5th listed category, so be sure to consider ALL majors in your OTHER high scoring categories (below). You may score high in a category you didnt think you would--it is possible that a great major for you is something you once dismissed as not for you. The right major for you will be something 1) you love and enjoy and 2) are really great at it.

Consider adding a minor or double majoring to make yourself standout and to combine your interests. Please post your results in your myspace/blog/journal.

Saw this on Nicholas blog, and decided to try it out.
I realise Physics/Engineering/Computing is placed at number 10.

What the hell?!?

Okay, I actually tried this quiz 3 times, (Because doing the same quiz 3 times is much more fun than studying) and each time my results varied quite abit.

Well, the first time I did it, Physics/Engineering/Computing was placed at number 2 I think? But that's beside the point I am trying to make here. Out of all the times I did this quiz, I realised Psychology/Sociology have always been in the top 3 spots.

Hmmm...suddenly, studying phychology or sociology seems kind of cool to me. And I've never really consider that until I took this quiz...

Seeing its my final year anyway, why should I care anyway? But it's nice to wonder. Then maybe I won't be struggling so much with my studies now.

Study week has been torturous. Can't really get anything in. Can't concentrate. Losing alot of motivation. Thinking too much.

Thinking too much...

"I should think less." is what I've been saying alot recently. But thinking makes me what I am? I know I tend to read abit too much beyond a person's action, or into some things that happen...

But there's so many things I don't understand. And life is so gray and contradictory that answers just don't come easily. And even if the answers come, it is often so complicated.

Sigh. I wondering what's happening lately.

Maybe it is just the stupid upcoming exams. I'm having a premonition that I probably fall much lower than my goal for this sem.

But really, I don't think I care very much already.

Shit. I think I'm having a case of mid-life crisis or something.

At age 24. Bah.
