Ahhhhhhh

Ahhhh this week is going to end soon. This holiday doesnt seem like a holiday at all. Out of the five weekdays, I have to go back to school on three of the days. sigh.... Monday had a make-up tutorial, but i cant blame the monday lesson, becos that was the tutorial I have beckoned the tutor to give us. Surprising only 5 ppl turn up, excluding the 3 students who came to take their "make-up physics CA" that they have missed due to some crap reasons. But the teacher is very kind and cute. Hahaha very easy to bully. I remembered that I asked a stupid question: "Why x instead of r is kept constant" in a question regarding refraction of fish image in a water tank. Then the cute teacher, not really prepared, donno how to explain, asked me to go to his staff room to take a look at his fish tank. Very 幽默!! I like part that he always says, "Don't coppi yaaa, coppi no use yaaa, if u want i can send u the answer yaaa, dont coppi yaaa, listen to me more important yaaa." But most of the time, everyone just keep on copying what he has shown us on the OHP, ignoring what he has said.

Wednesday was due to some time wasting seminar and friday due to "seem to be endless" orientation camp meeting as well as project discussion. sigh...

Nevertheless, my holidays are preoccupied with something else. *twin twin* It is the Age of Mythology!!! Quite nice to play, Hahaha

二月十六,一個蠻有壓力的一天!

今天終于過了。哈哈是一個值得慶幸的事情!因為前幾天情人節的準備功夫,我可真的沒有時間準備今天的物理 part2 測驗和我的General Study(GE):Confucius Heritage and Its Modern Implication 的presentation: 文化中國的認知與關懷。直到昨天晚上,我還在非常非常匆忙地準備那個 presentation 材料,至于物理測驗,我還看不到上課講義的一半就睡着了。

今天早上,就感覺有一股很久沒有體驗到的躁急。星期三是我每星期最糟的一天。上課和試驗時間是無截斷從早上 8.30am 到 下午 4.30pm. 今天的午餐就是那課堂里啃的四個面包,總覺的有絲毫的可憐。不大緊,下課后在吃點好的就可以了。很意外的,那物理測驗顯得很容易。出的課題都是我有讀過的前半課文講義。太幸運了!! 哈哈哈哈! 有可能還可以拿滿分哦!

今天的 presentation 我可殘了。。。表現的實在是差勁!Basically, 我只是 read out from the slides. 太沒有水準了。我就很快的上前,很快的演講我的口頭報告,很快的下來。但我也不管這麼多,過了就好。今天也很意外!下課之后,竟然有一個我不認識的女生突然問我:“你是不是上一次在上課時,用了八卦里的乾和坤來解釋孔子論語,子曰:“小人與女子難養也。”對呀,我就是她所說的那個人。然后她就問我是不是吃齋的。她也說對了!原來大家都是“同道中人”,興毅組的后學們!!哈哈真巧。在走出課室時,她的朋友問她為什麼這么高興。她的回答是:“他跟我一樣是吃齋的,真的很高興!”其實我也有同感--終于在一個課室里找到和我一樣宗教,一樣吃齋的女孩子。她還蠻可愛的嘛。 :)

Valentine's Day

Other people enjoyed their valentine's day; I had a hard day! Woke up really early in the morning, and rented a car from the Eastern car rental. Then start the flower delivery immediately (its a long journey). I always feel that this fund raising canvassing project is a difficult tusk, too much to do, too little time, manpower and skill. And the basic problem underlying is actually planning/management and our over ambitious. Arggggg we just keep on accepting delivery orders without measuring them with our delivering capacity. (not me, i think i have one of the least orders, no one wants to buy from me..)

Nevertheless, I have went to Hougang, Ang Mo Kio, Toa Payoh, Catholic JC, KK Hospital, Bukit Panjang, Sembawang, Redhill, Whampo, and some other wulu wulu places. Although altogether, we had 3 cars and sufficient drivers, we were unable to deliver on time. There were really really bad cases where the orders were 10 hours late!!! Terrible rite? Some girls were even sound asleep before we managed to sent to the their door step. What to do? Thats the result of poor planning, i dont think there is a specific person be appointed to manage all the orders. Till now, i still do not know how much orders we have to fulfil on that day. Maybe about 60 to 80??

Delivery was not the only problem. Flowers premature dying before the collection, flowers being killed by uncareful hands and legs, and dried to death due to hot weather and dehydration, not enough wrapping papers and side flowers such as statics, baby breathe and sarah leaves, reordered replacement flowers that cut our profit greatly, and even with the replacement flowers there were still not enough of them to complete the orders. Manpower roster unplanned which resulted in unmanned flower collection point. It seemed to have soooo much problems.

But towards the end, its nice! :)

Cantonese Bird-day Song

This is how the lyrics go:

Gong juk li fuk sow yi tian chai
Juk fuk li san chan fai luk
Lin lin dou yao gam yak
Soi soi dou yao gam chew
Gong hei li...Gong hei li...

I like this version, sounds very nice.


Chinese New Year coming, busy busy, till now still have not revise or touch my tutorial yet, lacking way behind, sob sob......

Is it a CriMe??

A few weeks ago, i learnt a very interesting stuff. I have been told that some tricks can be done to the school's printing services. There is actually a bug in the printing programming, which we will be able to print a large stack of notes with just 5 cents. Serious!! Large piles of notes can be printed out with that cheap price as long as they are within one print job. The printing services at the Nanyang Business School have the bug, but those in Lee Wee Nam Library cannot work with the trick. They may have the debug systems. Others printers were unknown.

A few days ago, I went to the computer lab near to Nanyang Auditorium to do some routine notes printing. When I was waiting for my turn to the printing computer, I saw the trick. And its two in a row. Both gals who queued in front of me used the trick i nearly forgotten (wahhh it was like an public secret). Its workable!!! though the gals looked quite embarass as she only printed one of her many print jobs (which was obviously very strange, most people will just print all their jobs).

I tried the trick!!! And it works!!! I spent only 5 cents for a few dollars worth printing. though I have saved a lunch's money for the next day, but I felt abit guilty. I felt pity for the print shop's auntie. She will surely be one of the last to know about the bug thingy...
