*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.

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 =)

100 Facts about Guys (well, actually 20)

Got this stuff from youtube. For the girls out there.

1. Guys don't go after good-looking girls, because looks...aren't everything to them.
2. Guys hate flirts.
3. If a guy says he doesn't understand you, it means you're not thinking the way he is.
4. A guy can be flirting around all day but before he goes to sleep, he'll always think about the girl he truly cares about.
5. When a guy really likes you, he'll disregard all your bad characteristics because to him, you're perfect.
6. Guys go crazy over a girl's smile.
7. Guys will do anything to get your attention.
8. When you touch a guy's heart, there's no turning back.
9. When you say "no", guys hear it as "try again tomorrow."
10. Sometimes you have to tell a guy what you really want before he truly understands.
11. A guy would sacrifice his lunch money just to get you a couple of roses.
12. A guy often thinks about and talks about the girl who likes him, but this doesn't mean he likes her back.
13. You won't ever completely understand him.
14. If a guy ever tells you he loves you more than once a day...he does.
15. Girls are indeed guys' weaknesses.
16. Guys are very open about themselves, they will tell you anything you want to know.
17. It's good to test a guy before you believe him, but don't ever make him wait too long.
18. Guys hate it when their clothes get dirty. Even a small dot.
19. Guys really admire girls that they like even if they're not that pretty.
20. If a guy tells you about his problems, he just needs someone to listen to him. You don't need to give advice.

Going through the worse

Update!

Last week was probably the hardest week of my life

and probably this week too

but

I guess

I

have

to

do the CARAMEL DANSEN!!!

lol, random.

...*sigh*

I have an interview this sunday, and I need to focus on that first.

Ikans

SOOOOO

Metaphorical topic untuk si pulan :

IKANS.

Ikans ada banyak di dunia ni. Ada ikan manis, ikan masam, ikan merah, rumahan, ikan jaws, ikan gemuk, ikan pendek, ikan panjang, ikan yg bukan macam ikan and so on. Basically ikans ani ada di mana-mana lah, ampai-ampai ikans ani, maklumlah rezeki ada di mana-mana.

Jadinya

Kalau kamu nampak ikans yang nyaman yang kamu mau, tangkap tah ikans atu. Ye? Sebelum ikans atu lari baiktah tangkap. Baik lagi tu if ikans atu lari, kalau ia kana tangkap oleh orang lain macamana? Or worse, kana makan oleh buaya darat. Putih mata.

Kemudahan untuk menagkap ikans ada dan banyak, ada pancing, and for those yang suka sangat ikans-ikans atu buleh guna JALA or as urang putihs call itz THE NET, buleh tangkap ikan banyak-banyak kan? Puas hati. So kengkawan gunakanlah kemudahan atu, jangan jadi buduh macam si *tuuuuut*.

Mari tani liat video ani yang aku ambil tadi pagi

.....

....

....

oh shit, ada error uploading, nanti saja lah ye?

so what should you take away from this post?

ALIM'S RULES OF THE IKANS:

RULE 1: IKANS ADA DI MANA-MANA AND ADA BANYAK

RULE 2: DENGAN KEMAHUAN DAN MASA, ONE CAN GET IKANS.

thus the equation

I=Wt

(where I: no.of ikans caught, W: will to get ikans and t: time spent on getting ikans)

RULE 3: IKANS ARE NICE TO SEE, NICE TO TOUCH, BUT ONCE BROKEN, CONSIDERED SOLD (very important law)

So asalkan anda ingat these three rules, anda akan selamat dan berjaya.

Happy fishing =)

Thoughts

Sometimes

there are things you want to tell people but couldn't

because of what people will think of you if you did?

Don't you find that irritating?

An action restricted by a potential reaction.

how I wish..

Somewhere out there

in a different universe

is another me.

Me who did not accept the scholarship,

who stayed in Brunei,

and finished his A-level by now

and partying his arse off.

Ah, How I wish I finished it too.

Congrats to my friends in Brunei for finishing their A-level =)

Now all you have to do is wait and hope.

Self-reflection: Retardation?

Lately...

I feel I'm becoming stupider each day..

or maybe...

people around me are getting smarter.

I did the Physics Olympiad paper today..

and I couldn't answer a single question...

other people breezed through it with ease..

Me?

Just sitting there skipping questions.

This is a sad day for the A-man * referring to self*

What kind of Physicist am I if I couldn't even answer a single Physics Olympiad question?

Is this the extent of my intelligence?

NO

I refuse to think so

There must be a cause for me not performing well during the Olympiad

but what?

Ah

I see

Nervosity and Panic

I can't think with my mind messed up

That must surely be the cause.

Therefore, I need to be calm in order to think.

Need to remind myself to be calm in the future.

RESOLVED

Anime Expo

..I wuz there.

Anime expo is where you see Naruto line up to withdraw cash from an ATM, where that vampire guy from Vampire hunter D sit down and have a sip of coffee at Costa, where you will see Kurosaki Ichigo wash his hands at the toilet.

Good times.

Oh, Kairi was there too! I wanted to take a picture with her but...she was busy calling someone. =/

Trojan

It all started with The Matrix. I was watching the movie see (I know, I know, why am I watching an old movie? I was just a kid when I first watch the Matrix and I couldn't understand a thing, well, except for the fighting scenes. So I was re-watching it to understand it better). After the movie I 'wiki'-ed the matrix, and this somehow lead me to the discovery of Cicakman 2.

I don't know exactly why but I wanted to watch Cicakman 2, so I asked Hafiz to download it for me because honestly I don't know how to download movies or maybe I was using that as an excuse for my laziness. But dear ol' Hafiz refused my request, because of piracy reasons, even though he promised me he would download it for me.

Desperate, I went to the internet to download the movie I oh so wanted to watch. I found the file and began downloading it. What was strange is that it is an .exe file but what was stupid is that I saved the file despite knowing it. What was even stupider, I ran the file and it installed something: Trojans, 4 fuckin' trojans.

I asked arif for help since he's like the computer wiz. Even with his valiant effort he couldn't take down the Cicakman2.exe Trojan. Then Hafiz came, asked me to buy this software that supposedly eliminate the Trojan and make my PC faster. Guess what, it didn't do shit! And I had to spend $30 on that piece of crap. Tikus membaiki labu banar.

Now the trojan is still lurking somewhere in my laptop, cleverly hiding itself, devising for the destruction of my PC's system. I never knew one file could fuck up my PC this bad.

And all this is because of Cicakman 2.

HAIHHHHH

Spam

You know what? I find junk mail to be really annoying.

Well, who doesn't?

You sign in to MSN, and every time there's this pop-up informing you about new messages, and then you go to your inbox to check it out, only to find emails from companies promoting their goddamn products. What a let-down. What's bad, these things just keep on coming.

In MSN hotmail, you have this 'Junk mail' section of your inbox, and your 'inbox' section of your inbox (Whoa, confusemoi?). These sections are self-explanatory really; your junk mails goes to junk mail and obviously, not-junk mails goes to inbox. These thing are automatically sorted (at least, I think they are). Then again, why do I find junk mail in my fuckin inbox?? Whatever is sorting my emails, it's not doing a good job. Might as well do it myself. Can't believe I just typed that, no way am I gonna do it. never send Alim to do a computer's job.

I'm just a disappointed guy ranting. Don''t mind me. =)

Another half term

The school bell rang and I went out the classroom with a long sigh

but it's not one of those 'oh no' sighs. No.

It's a 'finally half term' sigh.

Two weeks of no school!! wee~

I wonder what's in store for me during half term =)

and

I wanted to apologize to the woman at the train station whom asked me for directions. Apparently I gave her the wrong one. Apakan, macamlah ia baca blog ku. Talur. Or maybe she does, in the off chance of that happening, I am sorry woman-at-train-station.

and

Arif bought Uncharted 2. Awesome game I say. I think we're gonna finish the game today (3rd day after buying the game). Karak game kaliah.

and

People are having A'level exam right now. Just wanna say goodluck to all of them. Fighting! (mild koreanisation detected)

and

My stomach hurts right now. x(

My worries

Right now I have three things to worry about:

1) My university application

2) Oxbridge interviews and tests

3) A'levels

4) DT coursework

All of which rooted from a single ultimate uncertainty:

My future

(I want my future to be bright so I made the font to have a bright colour =) Pretty superstitious of me to do this.)

"Life often doesn't go as you planned,so be ready to improvise"

well....

there's another thing I'm worried about..

I'm worried if I won't be the first one to greet her on her birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HIME

=)
