An interesting way how to play the game =)
I think I'll be moving this blog to AY:HX. My server is much more stable these days. All new posts will appear over there from now onwards.
It is one heck of a event
Anyway glad that one event is over.. for now
PS: Meaning of theme.. "That is life"
Profiles for Upper 6 of 2008
Uploaded for those who have not have a chance to see it YET...
PS: refer to http://auyong.homeunix.net/blog/2008/07/u6-profiles/
Overall: it the event was okay... I had my little share of fun today
I didn't know what to do with extra coupons, (plus I hated the games)
so i "hantam-ed" about 20 cans of drinks and a box of pizza. Shared
some ex-bbian friends, Chee Keen & Wei Shiang who were around
PS: my camera's auto focus was out for some weird reason... *sigh* need a change soon
More Photos on Flickr
Certainly not my day either, been feeling down with a cold since a couple of days ago
*sniff* *sniff*
As if the bird understand the sign board in the first place... LOL
I'm wrote this two weeks ahead of time before the event
Some sneak preview, or I should say interesting insights into the library week preparation in school.
When is a good time? That I'm not sure, never certain. I'm not even supposed to be writing this anyway, as I would usually put it, "I have better things to do". One of the better things I should be doing is studying or perhaps sleeping (don't look at me like that: its almost 3.00 am). Things just come falling down one after another just like an unending game of tetris. Stacking up high till i could clear the lines little by little at a time. I just hope I'd never reach the top line where the game of tetris never goes "Game Over". Never to bow down to the ever increasing pressure seems impossible would take throwing the laws of physics out of the window.
Settled a few things last week (plus screwed up a few things), and already got new tasks at hand. Among stuff I screwed up is around half a terabyte worth of data. Couldn't had come at a better time, when I need to my main computer to much of the heavy lifting, that is sorting up exhibition stuff for library week. Sigh... partly my fault of trying do some low level tweaks to my hard drives (which were on RAID-0 arrays). Ended up corrupting the first disk making the whole array pretty much useless. Mission critical data loss was minimal as i stored most of it on my undersized backup hard drive (that is 300GB only; compare it to 500GB total on RAID). Lost some photos, all of the six form inter school games' photos, a lot of cd/dvd disk images, all last year's 2007 STPM papers which i stored in PDFs, some of my dad's documents and if you had noticed, my entire site as well. Thanks to Kuan Hing, he passed me back my Vista DVD & I could put things on my computer as close as they were in a timely fashion.
Another issue that came out just around the same time, six form science classes will be merged (again?!!). The school administration took the liberty of splitting the physics and biology students earlier this year and clearly now they are "undo"ing their previous decision. Reason given was "there was not enough teachers". OK fine, myself being in the school for the past few years, I certainly know the situation and could possibly agree on that. Just to be clear, I'm not to be against the school administration (i know some teachers do read my blog). My reasoning of being unhappy with the decision (based on the reason I under stood was given) is mainly due to fact that an earlier decision was overturned by the same administration that made the decision. Couldn't they anticipate there are lower sixes coming in may/june and made the required decision from the very beginning. We're dealing with humans, and not machines where adjustments can't be made and everyone is expected to be comfortable overnight. I feel its a little big waste of time to do all this splitting and merging over again. Speaking of bad overall STPM results in school, IMHO it's worthwhile to try a different class setup for once as school STPM results drop year by year. Oh well, just my two cents.
As for the up coming March exams, I'm sure its going to be !@#$%^*. Got a whole lot to study 3 out of 4 subjects. I expect Chemistry and Maths to be the toughest. Physics might be easy... but considering who's teaching (you probably know what I mean) the odds of doing very well might be way off. I seriously need to work on my Maths paper two (Mr Ong's class haven't covered that), understanding the concepts of the first three chapters isn't enough. Given any STPM/A level question on trigonometry, vectors or geometry deduction; i'm practically left out blank in the cold.
In other things, all is a mess and jumbled up.... CF, school library, computer club, ... and etc. I dont even seem to recall what needs to be done now. When the time comes it will pop back into my head, hopefully. Settle what comes first now and be done with it, never let things stack.
Lesson learnt:
- Never stack things. The higher its gets it could fall and hurt everyone
- Never be an itchy hand and mess with RAID
- Buy a BIGGER hard drive and always backup no matter what (I'm thinking > 1 Terabyte)
- Don't sleep in Mr. Tan's Maths class
- Last but not least: What ever it is always trust Him, he will not give me things that is more than i can bear
It’s the 3/14, or 3.14, so this obviously means just one thing - it’s Pi day, a celebration of the mathematical ratio that man has been trying to unlock for millennia. But why are we driven to find the answers behind it?
