むこくせき
useless fact of the day: What we inferred from Japanese Study: Postwar Japan Film and Anime. The stateless mukokuseki in reverse is
ikesukokum, meaning to gain back an identity. Wonder if we can do stunts like this in exams?
And compiling starts, due in 14h, and exam revision status: "G-ro!"
Overwhelmed by the meeting, where the profit oriented business people from engineering faculty took over the conversation from what was intended to be a friendly exchange between NM sociey and potential scholar-led student-centric online newspaper. "I will own you" says business student to non-profit idealistic scholar who prefers to write for the public interest. "You will not take us alive" says the latter. "When you're done fighting, we'll get back to our original agenda" says the strangely quiet NM group, sitting on the fence. Led by... me.
*bathos*
But no point letting the strangers know so much, and they have eyes to read my proposal what~ so there, i stand by my strategy.
Incidentally the topic is mukokuseki in Japanese! And the useless fact is fake, there's no such thing as gaining identity by spelling it sdrawkcab~

On a separate Note
Happy Birthday shout out's to Chee Seng, and my brother affectionately known as Ex-Phat for shedding those pounds while in the army!!
Not impressed
impressive. im-fuckin-pressive. now i know how blessed i was to be with the JS project team.
2 days (technically 1 day if we submit hard copy tmr) to deadline, and everyone feels that they've done their part, throw it to the one compiling with not so much as a glance back. Exceeding 6 minutes to reply on MSN meeting. Incompatible Mac and Windows leading to communication gap. Not even replying email, nor SMS. Too many excuses and pattern. "oh anything sms me i don't check mail often" etc. Gosh, and we're learning about industry standards here. Why can't we just all use windows and buy Intel, when there's so many incompatibility issues around? (now i sound like Hitler, doing ethnic cleansing on Mac's) Mac's are literally white elephants for those not doing graphic design and shit that require that specialised program. For goodness sake if u need a machine to perform word processing tasks or online meetings only get a fuckin windows machine. I don't love it. It's just the standard. Even my PDA can generate more standard stuff. *)(R($!$
Except day 1, this team for technopreneur never saw full attendance. So much for the reason for not being able to choose our team mates that "with friends you tend to be too comfortable with each other". And those who came did not even prepare for the meetings, yet make the most noise asking if we knew the answers. "The worst form of disrespect to your peers during meetings is to turn up unprepared", Vernetta Lopez on her radio show.
Lunchbox cheesebun!! (courtesy of Talking Cock the movie)
So much for the good skill mix we had, one computing, one life science, two business, two arts students.

Hate websites that crash browsers
At a time and age where 1GB RAM is still unable to handle what websites have to offer? You've got to be kidding me. Overloading your website with advertisements to finance it to the extent of crashing surfers' browsers sure won't ensure a second visit.
Doing research for online newspaper for New Media society. I am to chair a meeting Wednesday with potential content providers, provided the university scholar dude does not eat us alive. Bookmarked some worthy sites, but turned off by those irritating sites with pop-up ads that refuse to stay down after being destroyed by Avant Browser, and try means and ways to create another one, and ultimately bogging down my PC's performance.
And still with a project breathing down my neck, due Thursday. Gasp.

Supercramps!
So many competitions channel 8's organized these days. But i really must hand it to them to be able to bring jam bands into the fray. And together with some cheesy acapella groups, some dancers who're better off lip synching and focusing on their core competency etc of course.
After project superstar, there was 明星偶像, superhost, campus superstar (Anyone I missed out? I never caught any of them, hate all forms of reality TV with some rare exceptions like Fear Factor. Just this superband i'd like to follow.)
I always thought jam bands, dancers, acapella singers, duets, boy/girl groups are like pepsi and coke - you can't quite put your finger on it but it feels wrong mistaking one for the other. Don't worry, there's no sugar you say? But it looks like a variety show! A bad one at that with jarring combination of elements! I mean, how are they going to judge a winner? One from each "category"? Or only one ultimate winner? Does this mean one form of live performance is superior to the other?
Dear Channel 8, I'd like to catch live bands in action without making my way down to civic plaza or youth park, can you just cut the other fillers and show me the killer?
About the weekend:
Last night, I dreamt of a guy who secretes lipids from his stomach with lacerations that open up just like the car doors of a lambourghini! And the liquid fats that oozed out was white. I think slimming ads are overbearing in their penetration power. He would smile and the fats just squish out from his torso.
Celebrated brother's birthday at Shatin Kitchen, Geyland Lor 29 today. Shark's Fin, Braised Chicken with ham and mushroom, Goose liver with ham and tomato, Dumplings with noodles, Sauteed Eel with onions and capsicum, Breaded Sturgeon, Stir-fried Cod, Carrot Cake Cantonese style, and downed with a mug of Tiger beer. Exotic extraordinaire? Hey, Cantonese have the strangest tastebuds. Alcohol works wonders for the imagination. Almost succeeded into conning myself that there's another month to the exams. Why become sober?
Useless fact of the day: Getting more random, here's the result of spending a Sunday lost on the net. Led Zeppelin lead guitarist Jimmy Page recorded the solo to Stairway to Heaven on a 12-string guitar. I think it can be reproduced on a BOSS Octave pedal. He recorded 3 different versions for it.
