*Cough*

I have this terrible cold for three days now and I'm actually hoping for it to get worse, y'know to have a few days off from school. Three or four days would be fine.

*Cough*

My maths teacher, Mr.Emson (the guy looks like the old man from UP and Drew Carey), told the class something that caught my interest. We were learning about complex numbers (imaginary numbers in other words), and he said the book Alice in Wonderland is actually a parody of Mathematics.

Alice in wonderland (or Alice's adventures in wonderland to be precise) is written by Charles Ludwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym 'Lewis Carroll'. Mr.Dodgson here is a mathematician. At that time, complex numbers are new to mathematicians and can solve difficult problems easily. Because complex numbers a.k.a Imaginary numbers are not real numbers (hence the name 'imaginary'), some mathematicians including Dodgson have difficulties getting used to them. Simply put, Dodgson didn't like complex numbers. Well not just complex numbers, there are other mathematical stuffs that he also didn't like and so he wrote Alice in wonderland in order to ridicule these things.

So the bizarre world of wonderland is actually based on the weirdness of Maths. If you read the book, Dodgson made a few references to Maths. You can check wikipedia or google it if you want examples.

"So will the new Alice in wonderland movie have any references to maths?" is the question I had in mind when I was watching it last night. Sadly, there is little/none. Quite disappointing really. I don't wanna spoil anything. Overall the movie was OK, i guess, just not the Alice in wonderland that I was hoping for.

You better hurry Sony.

Idle everyday

Yes! It's half-term!

Honestly, I think my blogging enthusiasm is degrading. Usually, within two weeks I would post something new but now that has increased to months. The cause? Facebook. Nowadays, most of my time surfing the internet has been devoted to facebook. Why? I don't even know..I just find facebook to be..addictive. I don't even understand. I see no enjoyment or benefit from it. I would go from wall to wall, reading comments, looking at photos, liking, etc. Eventually after 10 minutes or so I’ll get bored and logout, but not long after that I’ll find myself logged-in the damn website, repeating the same process. More like a curse than addiction I tell you. I very well know it’s a waste a time and I also very well know I will do the same thing despite what I've just said.

“Facebook is like Hotel California, you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave.”

Enough with the facebook rants and on with the half-term report.

Well, there’s nothing to report unfortunately. Normally, people would fill their holidays with activities but not me. Alim has nothing good to do during halfterm. Except revise. But c’mon, what are the chances of that happening? (Zilch) So what have I been doing then? Allow my fellow lolcats to illustrate:

eat

gaming, hey wait, you're not a lolcat!

sleep

That pretty much sums up what my holiday is so far. I know, it’s boring, but what can I do? I wanted to go out, but unfortunately my financial status prevents me from doing so.

Now if you excuse me, I have some things to attend to, and by ‘things’ I mean ‘stay in bed facebooking the whole day’.

I feel lighter

Cheetos everyone! (Cheetos..?Wha..?)

With January exams over and my uni application done, I feel so relieved. I'm still waiting for the decision from Imperial though. Hope they'll accept me, because if they don't, it's their loss for rejecting Dulwich college's biggest asset. Lol.

I have a lot of free time now and I usually spend them playing video games. Currently, playing Army of Two: The 40th day. I prefer to call it Army of two 2, sounds funnier. Haha. To fill my endless gaming needs I've also pre-ordered a couple of games FF13, which will arrive about early March, and Bioshock 2, arriving two days from now. Woohoo! Oh, PC gamers can suck balls cuz you won't be gettin' some of them FF13! BWAHAHAH! YOU JEAL SON? YOU JEAL??

Moving on to a more serious topic. My flight ticket booking has been cancelled! Apparently, there was something wrong with the payment but I think it's just RBA messin' up with me. I AM SO DISSAPOINTED WITH RBA. Tch. Royal Brunei Airlines. More like Rubbing Brunei's A**.

Ok, sorry, didn't mean to say that. It was immature of me. RBA is not to blame here. OBAMA IS THE ONE TO BLAME!

....but he's cool with it.

*post ends awkwardly*

New video editing software

HIYOOOOOOOOO

An update at last

You see, I've been busy lately..with exams I mean. Not much free time to do some blogging.

so what I've been up to?

Well, I am now back in the video editing business after such a long time. This time with a new and better video editing software. Hoho.

I've also decided to make a youtube account, you know, to widen my viewers net (no such thing?). My username is 'TheShaoWa' , I tried making 'ShaoWa' as my username but apparently that name has been used (another ShaoWa? Evil twin?) so I went along with 'TheShaoWa' cuz it sounds much more cooler. =P

From now on I will upload my videos to Youtube. So if you want to watch my latest videos just go to youtube and type in 'TheShaoWa' in the search bar and you'll get to my account, my videos are there. Super easy.

I've just done making my first video using the new software and here's ze link:

how to make a snowball

The video is a bit dark tho but credits to Pudeng, Jon and Aizu for being the actors in the vid. =)

Feel free to comment and rate. =)

2010

I actually don't feel like blogging ever since I opened a facebook account but since it's new year, I figured; "meh, what the heck"

Let's see, what do I have planned for 2010

- Finish my A'levels, need to get all As and among those As is at least one A*.

- Get my driving license during the summer holiday.

- Reach 2000pounds (at least) in my savings

- Purchase a new laptop, because my current laptop is like dying.

- Get rid of my double chin. Yeah, have to remove this ugly thing from my face.

- Eat more healthy food. (Not gonna happen)

- Stop my Redbull addiction.

- Regain my good luck.

Happy new year =)
