The not awaited return.

*sniff sniff* ACHOOOO , too much dust already this blog.

Well its been quite a while hasn’t it?

Semester 2 mid semester break is already over and now I finally decided its time to update this blog.

It has been a very very busy mid semester break, so busy that I did not have  much chance to game at all. The break I believe was so tiring as compared to a normal uni week. Boohoo.

Ah well a quick update with what’s new.

hotpot! wohoo, or steamboat !

mooncakes!

Sadly, I have to end this post here, as….

I am scarred for life.

I am scarred for life.

I am scarred for life.

 

goodnight and see you soon

Semester 2

Ok, its not exactly the start of Sem 2. Its in fact the 3rd week of Sem2. Yes this past few week have been extremely busy, and I anticipate the future weeks to be as busy if not more.

Ok!

Let me er, share with you some interesting stuff I’m doing or done .

1. Focus group- recommend changes to UniMelb prospectus
2. Negotiation Research – pretend to be a diplomat and negotiate for an hour or so about issues between two countries
3. Student Entrepreneur week – In a team of all commerce student (except me), to come out with an idea to create more value out of water bottles.( any ideas are welcomed)
4. Open Day Guide- UniMelb Open Day volunteer, walk around and help ppl i think.

And recent chunted achievements

Finish Physics lab in 1 and half hour!

Beat Starcraft AI(note:starcraft one, not II)

And other failures including and not limited to:

• One hour for a math question
• failure to turn up at workshop
• missed a lecture than cost me a good grade

Sigh.

so yea. thats bout it.

Hello Everyone

What’s people? The exams is over and I finally found time to update my zombie blog.  Lets take a look on how I fared in my various exams. Its my first time taking an exam in university therefore I’m not pretty used to it yet.

Physic 1: Advanced

Problem faced: Many materials to cover, and some are impossibly hard to comprehend, lack of sleep

Solution: Drink red bull(not sure how that helps understanding the material but yea)

Accelerated Mathematics 1:

Problem: Lack of adequate practice, thus lack in confidence.

Solution: Pray hard.

Engineering System Designs 1

Problem : could not wake up, not sure what to  study

Solution: Eat two lolipops during exam to make sure I stayed awake. form study group.

German Beginners Language 1A

Problem: Do not know what to read

Solution: Read everything (yea right).

But who wants to listen about boring exams when you can talk about the World Cup?

Tshabalala, but the commentator called him Tshabalalalalala.

Exams and World Cup is definitely not a good mix, cause it turns people into zombies.

haha wrong kind of football but its a zombie!

Frankly this world cup is pretty boring, everyone is playing ten man behind the ball and parking the bus in front of the goal. its boring football seeing people defend in such a way, but who could blame them? Its a winning tactic after all.

Er i officially ran out of ideas to blog about. Till then.

Guten Tag to my readers who may or may not exist.

My blog would seem rather dead if I didn’t update it. Thus I am compelled to update to show, I am currently alive and not dying for mysterious reason( exams).

It is Week 12 for people not in Uni Melb, a.k.a. the last week of the semester. And it also signifies that exams is a mere two weeks away. However, let me not dampen your mood by recounting the horror stories of physics and mathematics.

Last week, for our final assignment for engineering, we had to run a Lego Mindstorm Robot through a course. It had to complete the course under 30 seconds to get full marks.

Thats right. Its a race where the robot destroys competitors and race to the end.

But alas, the university has an ethic policy which forbids violence so we have to downgrade our ultimate-scorpion-killer-robot to this harmless looking one.

Despite developing a flawless program for the robot, it simply would not follow instructions but prefer to do the robot dance, the jump around senselessly dance .

Yeap. Something similar to the above picture but not as cool. After a thorough investigation and despite the help of 2 tutors (they have masters in engineering mind you), the problem could not be detected. It was not until late in the workshop that the problem was discovered to be a stuck wheel. Once the wheel was unstuck, the robot was invincible. Cruising a neck breaking speed of 2cm a second, it finished the course in an awesome lap of 28 seconds. Hurrah! It beats the record set by Sebastian Vettel and also past champions such as Lewis Hamilton , Michael Schumacher etc.. for they have never raced a Lego Mindstorm robot in Uni Melb thus they DNF.(go google if you have no idea what is DNF)

Now I would like to turn your minds to the world of physics. Its blows mind and I was pretty sure everyone’s jaw were stuck to the ground thanks to the latest lecture regarding relativity.

The man behind it all. Einstein.

He have solved so many problems that were once inconceivable.

Problem 1:

We are poor. We have a house which is only 1m long but our bed is 2m long. What to do ?

Answer: Accelerate the bed to near the speed of light, and the bed will contract in length, thus you can fit it in your house. (assuming bed does not burn from friction travelling at near speed of light, house not moving, the people only wants to be on the bed for a few nanoseconds before bed flies out of the house again)

Problem 2:

They say women can live longer than man. I want to live longer than my wife. What can I do?

Answer:
Go on a space ship and fly to 80% of speed of light and return. Moving clock are always slower, so you age slowly in comparison to your wife, thus you will outlive her.

Problem 3:

I am a huge (insert artist/band name here) fan/friend(for kuo wei,) , and I want to be the first person to hear their new single playing on the radio. What can I do?

Answer:

Its easy! Even if you stand equal distance from the speaker/radio/singers' mouth, you can still be the number eins fan by changing your point of reference. IF, you have a father who owns a spaceship that travels at close to the speed of light, he will see you hearing the music first compare to the other losers who don’t have such a father. The other loser might think they heard it the same time as you, but your father on the spaceship will see you hearing it first! Awesome isn’t it?

If you were confused/lost/astounded/still confused/no idea what I am blabbering about, its totally fine! Its just the 3 principle of Einstein’s Special Relativity.

1. Moving objects are shorter
2. Moving clocks are slower
3. Simultaneity is relative.

Ok that would be all.

Disclaimer: Not all diagrams are true to the original situation and the the questions were not posed by the Uni Melb lecturers, rather a alternative idea proposed by me.

One hectic period of the semester is over! Just to be replaced by another one but, the previous hectic period was swell ! =)

Basically, I was involved in a play call Rotate 270°    by Melbourne Uni’s Chinese Theatre  Group . I was part of the backstage crew.. and it was  great fun. despite the fact that the play was in Cantonese , and people there are mainly hongkies that speak only cantonese… I’m proud to say my cantonese improved, I made awesome friends and had a great lot of fun.

According to many, being backstage is the easiest job of all, and I don’t think I was going to dispute that until the final show. But still, let me tell you what we basically do. We turn up, wear black, wait for cue, carry stuff out on cue, come back, wait for next cue, go out and take stuff back,…. and so on and so forth. Basically, you got no screen time because its always dark when you go out. So yea. no one sees you =(  And the waiting part is extremely boring.. We had to either:

1. keep quiet and lone
2. play ipod/iphone/blackberry/PSP
3. play cards (illegal, we got caught on first day and never played again)
4. talk to each other in hush tones

So yeap. Basically that was all you can do. And you wouldn’t be interested in watching the play cause, you have watch it a million times.  But in a review ( yes a review by a proper reviewer)  we the backstage were described as “industrious” . YAY!

But bump out was another fun time to be in the backstage. We destroyed the sets. Karate kicking the frames.. running through screens and etc. All fun stuff.

Enough words now i think, and lets see some pictures ( all stolen from facebook) :

 

Group picture, and yea you most likely cant spot me.

 

and others which still have yet to be uploaded.

Goodbye and hello to assignment/test week!

Half a sem just went by.

Its already the end of week 6 which means I’ve been in uni for half a sem.(Stating the obvious but who cares).

Accelerated math as usual have a freaking hard assignment which everyone is struggling to do ( its due tomorrow and i have two more questions). Super sien kao kao n KBKB.

Physics is a gonna for I have very little friends taking it ( no one to ask help from) So hahah gone case adi that assignment.

German and ESD are still fine (although Matlab is getting harder and harder)

Now on to the more delightful Easter Break, Dad came =)

Went to Dandenong ..

Its a mountain for those who do not know .

And naturally, great food .

(this is the award wining gold medal Pin in the Sky Restaurant)

and last but not least,

an awesome fireplace. Brilliant

Easter so far…

This could be one of the more meaningful easter I have ever had.

It was an interesting beginning to the holidays, beginning with Good Friday. It was a good Friday =)

We had group discussions in the University….

A bit of mirror action…..

and a bit of computer working….

However, this pictures are extremely deceiving..

The real thing :

Dota and facebook =D

intense and relaxing…

It was a great night.. Awesome fun hahah

Then came saturday where i went to Tzu Ching Summer Camp in Box Hill. It was a meaningful and quite fun too ( contrary to what people think that a Buddhist camp would be all about chanting), however I believe I ate the most mushroom in my life in the 3 days. Aih

… so to be continued…
