What I learned in life at work...

1. Its hard to please everyone. Everything you do, you will be smoking someone's ass one way or another.
2. Work is not stressful. Its the human that surround the work that is pilling up stress on you.
3. Shits happen. All the time. You just need to learn to clean up the mess or finding a toilet before hand.
4. You won't really hate your life as PRP. You just hate the logbook from hell.
5. People will always complain. Even babies do. Just one way or another. Its the way of life. If you do not complain, you are either a saint or you are the world's most ignorant people.
6. Sometimes being alone in nowhere can really help reduce your stress.
7. People says ignorant people are blatant fools. I agree with that. So let me be a fool once in a while without giving me some stress.
8. Somehow I think I should start writing another "The Seven Sins of Work Life", an article based on my article in the Convo Mag. Just need to polish up my English for a bit. And reduce my sense of ignorant in order to forget ignore the stressful homework.
9. Someday, I am gonna start playing all my old games. And watch all my anime. And ignore all the work for once. Someday...Someday...Sigh...
10. Strange but true: I changed from someone who don't like to sleep to someone who really care for sleep. Talk about growing old...Well, I am getting older anyway.

Log 002: Note to self...

Lesson of the day: Keep your mouth shut, and keep your smiles up. Cause you have a F**KING bad mouth. And your view never counts. So don't bother talk. Just listen. And don't ever forget that. Or you will regret it for a long long long time.

Log 001: Work Life, Week 1

It's been a while. (Quote: House of the Dead 2)

Time does move fast. In such a short time, I am on my second week here at Hospital Sultanah Aminah. First week was, well, not fun, at all. After all the rush to JB, and have to settle down ASAP, I got myself into the real world: Work life. In addition, my lappy is a gonner: IDE hard disk connector fail, so I can never attach a hard disk to my lappy anymore...Major bummer!! Luckily I got Hospital Sultanah Aminah. If not, I wound have another huge task of finding a room to rent in such a short notice...Sigh...

Anyway, I got sent to out patient department. Get into the chaos within the department. Learning (like for the first time, even though it is not) about filling, labeling and dispensing. I guess the most thing I have learned about during the week is which drug is supposed to be taken on empty stomach, and which drugs should be taken with food. The workload is non-stop, which might actually be a  good thing as time does really fly fast in this condition. In addition, we are supposed to do one extra hour of unpaid and irreclaimable of OT everyday (8am to 6pm, compared to the FRP who have to work 8am-5pm). In addition, I have to fill in a damn amount of forms just to be registered in the hospital. So "mah fan"! And the worst thing is, there is still the log book to be filled in! Why can't I escape the world of home work (of filling log book) even when I am working?

Kinda in a mode of "lost identity" as I barely have time for my anime and manga. With only 3 hours left to do my own thing everyday, including all those homework, I am having withdrawal symptom for my lovely anime and manga! Luckily, with SL by my side, things are still manageble.

Look at the bright side though, it means I am starting to earn my money! Gotta gave myself some good gift when I got my pay of 2 months in lump sum next month! Time to plan for what to buy...Your suggestions (which I doubt there would be any) are utmost welcomed! Hint: Anterograde amnesiac lappy...

A little truth...

[Quote Source]

1. There's always a little truth behind every "JUST KIDDING".

2. A little knowledge behind every "I DON'T KNOW".

3. A little emotion behind every "I DON'T CARE".

4. A little pain behind every "IT'S OK".

Somehow, I feel it is true...Most of the time...

Stephen Hawking: How to Build a Time Machine

An interesting (and a bit long article) by Prof Stephen Hawking. He talks about time, how do we do time travelling, and many many interesting insight on the principal and possibility of time travelling. Very interesting insight indeed. That is, if you are Sci-fi fans / loves physic. Me included :)

[Source: DailyMail Online via Gizmodo]

Hello. My name is Stephen Hawking. Physicist, cosmologist and something of a dreamer. Although I cannot move and I have to speak through a computer, in my mind I am free. Free to explore the universe and ask the big questions, such as: is time travel possible? Can we open a portal to the past or find a shortcut to the future? Can we ultimately use the laws of nature to become masters of time itself? 

Time travel was once considered scientific heresy. I used to avoid talking about it for fear of being labelled a crank. But these days I'm not so cautious. In fact, I'm more like the people who built Stonehenge. I'm obsessed by time. If I had a time machine I'd visit Marilyn Monroe in her prime or drop in on Galileo as he turned his telescope to the heavens. Perhaps I'd even travel to the end of the universe to find out how our whole cosmic story ends. 

To see how this might be possible, we need to look at time as physicists do - at the fourth dimension. It's not as hard as it sounds. Every attentive schoolchild knows that all physical objects, even me in my chair, exist in three dimensions. Everything has a width and a height and a length. 

But there is another kind of length, a length in time. While a human may survive for 80 years, the stones at Stonehenge, for instance, have stood around for thousands of years. And the solar system will last for billions of years. Everything has a length in time as well as space. Travelling in time means travelling through this fourth dimension.

To see what that means, let's imagine we're doing a bit of normal, everyday car travel. Drive in a straight line and you're travelling in one dimension. Turn right or left and you add the second dimension. Drive up or down a twisty mountain road and that adds height, so that's travelling in all three dimensions. But how on Earth do we travel in time? How do we find a path through the fourth dimension?

Let's indulge in a little science fiction for a moment. Time travel movies often feature a vast, energy-hungry machine. The machine creates a path through the fourth dimension, a tunnel through time. A time traveller, a brave, perhaps foolhardy individual, prepared for who knows what, steps into the time tunnel and emerges who knows when. The concept may be far-fetched, and the reality may be very different from this, but the idea itself is not so crazy.

Physicists have been thinking about tunnels in time too, but we come at it from a different angle. We wonder if portals to the past or the future could ever be possible within the laws of nature. As it turns out, we think they are. What's more, we've even given them a name: wormholes. The truth is that wormholes are all around us, only they're too small to see. Wormholes are very tiny. They occur in nooks and crannies in space and time. You might find it a tough concept, but stay with me. 


  Time travel through a wormhole
A wormhole is a theoretical 'tunnel' or shortcut, predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, that links two places in space-time - visualised above as the contours of a 3-D map, where negative energy pulls space and time into the mouth of a tunnel, emerging in another universe. They remain only hypothetical, as obviously nobody has ever seen one, but have been used in films as conduits for time travel - in Stargate (1994), for example, involving gated tunnels between universes, and in Time Bandits (1981), where their locations are shown on a celestial map.

Nothing is flat or solid. If you look closely enough at anything you'll find holes and wrinkles in it. It's a basic physical principle, and it even applies to time. Even something as smooth as a pool ball has tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids. Now it's easy to show that this is true in the first three dimensions. But trust me, it's also true of the fourth dimension. There are tiny crevices, wrinkles and voids in time. Down at the smallest of scales, smaller even than molecules, smaller than atoms, we get to a place called the quantum foam. This is where wormholes exist. Tiny tunnels or shortcuts through space and time constantly form, disappear, and reform within this quantum world. And they actually link two separate places and two different times.
Unfortunately, these real-life time tunnels are just a billion-trillion-trillionths of a centimetre across. Way too small for a human to pass through - but here's where the notion of wormhole time machines is leading. Some scientists think it may be possible to capture a wormhole and enlarge it many trillions of times to make it big enough for a human or even a spaceship to enter. 

Given enough power and advanced technology, perhaps a giant wormhole could even be constructed in space. I'm not saying it can be done, but if it could be, it would be a truly remarkable device. One end could be here near Earth, and the other far, far away, near some distant planet. 

Theoretically, a time tunnel or wormhole could do even more than take us to other planets. If both ends were in the same place, and separated by time instead of distance, a ship could fly in and come out still near Earth, but in the distant past. Maybe dinosaurs would witness the ship coming in for a landing.


Now, I realise that thinking in four dimensions is not easy, and that wormholes are a tricky concept to wrap your head around, but hang in there. I've thought up a simple experiment that could reveal if human time travel through a wormhole is possible now, or even in the future. I like simple experiments, and champagne. 


So I've combined two of my favourite things to see if time travel from the future to the past is possible.
Let's imagine I'm throwing a party, a welcome reception for future time travellers. But there's a twist. I'm not letting anyone know about it until after the party has happened. I've drawn up an invitation giving the exact coordinates in time and space. I am hoping copies of it, in one form or another, will be around for many thousands of years. Maybe one day someone living in the future will find the information on the invitation and use a wormhole time machine to come back to my party, proving that time travel will, one day, be possible.
In the meantime, my time traveller guests should be arriving any moment now. Five, four, three, two, one. But as I say this, no one has arrived. What a shame. I was hoping at least a future Miss Universe was going to step through the door. So why didn't the experiment work? One of the reasons might be because of a well-known problem with time travel to the past, the problem of what we call paradoxes. 

Paradoxes are fun to think about. The most famous one is usually called the Grandfather paradox. I have a new, simpler version I call the Mad Scientist paradox. 

I don't like the way scientists in movies are often described as mad, but in this case, it's true. This chap is determined to create a paradox, even if it costs him his life. Imagine, somehow, he's built a wormhole, a time tunnel that stretches just one minute into the past.

Through the wormhole, the scientist can see himself as he was one minute ago. But what if our scientist uses the wormhole to shoot his earlier self? He's now dead. So who fired the shot? It's a paradox. It just doesn't make sense. It's the sort of situation that gives cosmologists nightmares. 

This kind of time machine would violate a fundamental rule that governs the entire universe - that causes happen before effects, and never the other way around. I believe things can't make themselves impossible. If they could then there'd be nothing to stop the whole universe from descending into chaos. So I think something will always happen that prevents the paradox. Somehow there must be a reason why our scientist will never find himself in a situation where he could shoot himself. And in this case, I'm sorry to say, the wormhole itself is the problem. 

In the end, I think a wormhole like this one can't exist. And the reason for that is feedback. If you've ever been to a rock gig, you'll probably recognise this screeching noise. It's feedback. What causes it is simple. Sound enters the microphone. It's transmitted along the wires, made louder by the amplifier, and comes out at the speakers. But if too much of the sound from the speakers goes back into the mic it goes around and around in a loop getting louder each time. If no one stops it, feedback can destroy the sound system.
The same thing will happen with a wormhole, only with radiation instead of sound. As soon as the wormhole expands, natural radiation will enter it, and end up in a loop. The feedback will become so strong it destroys the wormhole. So although tiny wormholes do exist, and it may be possible to inflate one some day, it won't last long enough to be of use as a time machine. That's the real reason no one could come back in time to my party. 

Any kind of time travel to the past through wormholes or any other method is probably impossible, otherwise paradoxes would occur. So sadly, it looks like time travel to the past is never going to happen. A disappointment for dinosaur hunters and a relief for historians. 

But the story's not over yet. This doesn't make all time travel impossible. I do believe in time travel. Time travel to the future. Time flows like a river and it seems as if each of us is carried relentlessly along by time's current. But time is like a river in another way. It flows at diff erent speeds in diff erent places and that is the key to travelling into the future. This idea was first proposed by Albert Einstein over 100 years ago. He realised that there should be places where time slows down, and others where time speeds up. He was absolutely right. And the proof is right above our heads. Up in space. 

This is the Global Positioning System, or GPS. A network of satellites is in orbit around Earth. The satellites make satellite navigation possible. But they also reveal that time runs faster in space than it does down on Earth. Inside each spacecraft is a very precise clock. But despite being so accurate, they all gain around a third of a billionth of a second every day. The system has to correct for the drift, otherwise that tiny di fference would upset the whole system, causing every GPS device on Earth to go out by about six miles a day. You can just imagine the mayhem that that would cause. 

The problem doesn't lie with the clocks. They run fast because time itself runs faster in space than it does down below. And the reason for this extraordinary e ffect is the mass of the Earth. Einstein realised that matter drags on time and slows it down like the slow part of a river. The heavier the object, the more it drags on time. And this startling reality is what opens the door to the possibility of time travel to the future.
Right in the centre of the Milky Way, 26,000 light years from us, lies the heaviest object in the galaxy. It is a supermassive black hole containing the mass of four million suns crushed down into a single point by its own gravity. The closer you get to the black hole, the stronger the gravity. Get really close and not even light can escape. A black hole like this one has a dramatic e ffect on time, slowing it down far more than anything else in the galaxy. That makes it a natural time machine. 

I like to imagine how a spaceship might be able to take advantage of this phenomenon, by orbiting it. If a space agency were controlling the mission from Earth they'd observe that each full orbit took 16 minutes. But for the brave people on board, close to this massive object, time would be slowed down. And here the e ffect would be far more extreme than the gravitational pull of Earth. The crew's time would be slowed down by half. For every 16-minute orbit, they'd only experience eight minutes of time. 


The Large Hadron Collider
Inside the Large Hadron Collider

Around and around they'd go, experiencing just half the time of everyone far away from the black hole. The ship and its crew would be travelling through time. Imagine they circled the black hole for five of their years. Ten years would pass elsewhere. When they got home, everyone on Earth would have aged five years more than they had. 

So a supermassive black hole is a time machine. But of course, it's not exactly practical. It has advantages over wormholes in that it doesn't provoke paradoxes. Plus it won't destroy itself in a flash of feedback. But it's pretty dangerous. It's a long way away and it doesn't even take us very far into the future. Fortunately there is another way to travel in time. And this represents our last and best hope of building a real time machine.
You just have to travel very, very fast. Much faster even than the speed required to avoid being sucked into a black hole. This is due to another strange fact about the universe. There's a cosmic speed limit, 186,000 miles per second, also known as the speed of light. Nothing can exceed that speed. It's one of the best established principles in science. Believe it or not, travelling at near the speed of light transports you to the future. 

To explain why, let's dream up a science-fiction transportation system. Imagine a track that goes right around Earth, a track for a superfast train. We're going to use this imaginary train to get as close as possible to the speed of light and see how it becomes a time machine. On board are passengers with a one-way ticket to the future. The train begins to accelerate, faster and faster. Soon it's circling the Earth over and over again.
To approach the speed of light means circling the Earth pretty fast. Seven times a second. But no matter how much power the train has, it can never quite reach the speed of light, since the laws of physics forbid it. Instead, let's say it gets close, just shy of that ultimate speed. Now something extraordinary happens. Time starts flowing slowly on board relative to the rest of the world, just like near the black hole, only more so. Everything on the train is in slow motion. 

This happens to protect the speed limit, and it's not hard to see why. Imagine a child running forwards up the train. Her forward speed is added to the speed of the train, so couldn't she break the speed limit simply by accident? The answer is no. The laws of nature prevent the possibility by slowing down time onboard.
Now she can't run fast enough to break the limit. Time will always slow down just enough to protect the speed limit. And from that fact comes the possibility of travelling many years into the future. 

Imagine that the train left the station on January 1, 2050. It circles Earth over and over again for 100 years before finally coming to a halt on New Year's Day, 2150. The passengers will have only lived one week because time is slowed down that much inside the train. When they got out they'd find a very diff erent world from the one they'd left. In one week they'd have travelled 100 years into the future. Of course, building a train that could reach such a speed is quite impossible. But we have built something very like the train at the world's largest particle accelerator at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. 

Deep underground, in a circular tunnel 16 miles long, is a stream of trillions of tiny particles. When the power is turned on they accelerate from zero to 60,000mph in a fraction of a second. Increase the power and the particles go faster and faster, until they're whizzing around the tunnel 11,000 times a second, which is almost the speed of light. But just like the train, they never quite reach that ultimate speed. They can only get to 99.99 per cent of the limit. When that happens, they too start to travel in time. We know this because of some extremely short-lived particles, called pi-mesons. Ordinarily, they disintegrate after just 25 billionths of a second. But when they are accelerated to near-light speed they last 30 times longer. 

It really is that simple. If we want to travel into the future, we just need to go fast. Really fast. And I think the only way we're ever likely to do that is by going into space. The fastest manned vehicle in history was Apollo 10. It reached 25,000mph. But to travel in time we'll have to go more than 2,000 times faster. And to do that we'd need a much bigger ship, a truly enormous machine. The ship would have to be big enough to carry a huge amount of fuel, enough to accelerate it to nearly the speed of light. Getting to just beneath the cosmic speed limit would require six whole years at full power. 

The initial acceleration would be gentle because the ship would be so big and heavy. But gradually it would pick up speed and soon would be covering massive distances. In one week it would have reached the outer planets. After two years it would reach half-light speed and be far outside our solar system. Two years later it would be travelling at 90 per cent of the speed of light. Around 30 trillion miles away from Earth, and four years after launch, the ship would begin to travel in time. For every hour of time on the ship, two would pass on Earth. A similar situation to the spaceship that orbited the massive black hole. 

After another two years of full thrust the ship would reach its top speed, 99 per cent of the speed of light. At this speed, a single day on board is a whole year of Earth time. Our ship would be truly flying into the future.
The slowing of time has another benefit. It means we could, in theory, travel extraordinary distances within one lifetime. A trip to the edge of the galaxy would take just 80 years. But the real wonder of our journey is that it reveals just how strange the universe is. It's a universe where time runs at different rates in different places. Where tiny wormholes exist all around us. And where, ultimately, we might use our understanding of physics to become true voyagers through the fourth dimension.

Whats Next After Graduation? Otaku edition.

1. Do nothing. End up like a bed bug. Crawl around the bed. Eat and shit near the bed.
Probability of achieving that: >90%. (Keep in mind that sleeping is not my hobby).

2. Study for self-improvement. End up being a better person. Also end up unable to fully enjoy my hobby. Unless the self-improvement involve. Probability of doing that: 1%.

3. Anime, manga, game. Anything but work. End up with a pair of bulging eyes everyday and worsening of my eyesights. Also end up full-filling my inner desire and suppress my addiction. Probability of doing that: >99%.

4. Traveling. Anywhere. Everywhere. End up with deep hole in the wallet and bank account, which is already bleeding hard since the Taiwan trip. Also end up spending more time than darling... ;) . Probability of doing that: 10%. (Cause I am not rich, dude).

5. Find some temporary job. Earn moolah. End up similar to 2. Except with more cash to burn on anything, including giving darling a sweet sweet present. ;) . Probability of doing that: 20%.

6. Join more and more pay per click sites (which I previously did). End up with combination of 3 and 5. Probability of doing that: <1% (Dude, I tried that before, and it will took ages to even cash out for USD5.

7. Personal clean up therapy. Clean up everything from my table, drawer, folders, files, my PC, reinstall every piece of junk in my PC, PSP and 5800. End up with nothing but well manage desktop, laptop and gadget. Also included in the package: bulging black eyes and worsening eyesight.
Probability of doing that: 50% (Shocked but true)

8. Do something crazy. End up with unknown. Almost certainly will bleed my wallet and bank account. Probability of doing that: <<1%. (I am not an avid adventurer, that explain it all)

9. Other things that I have not mention.

Note that probability does not add up to 100%. It is more than that, cause I may choose to do 2 or 3 of them during this idling period.

Laptop Reliability Test According to Manufacturer

(Via Gizmodo Via SquareTrade)

Now this is interesting. The picture below describe the failure rate of laptops according to their manufacturer.


Missing from the list (Famous brand that I can think of) includes Samsung (Mine!!) and Fujitsu. Asus is the most reliable laptop, which is not really that surprising due to their off-the-shelf 2 years warranty, followed closely by Toshiba, Sony and Apple.
Worst on the list includes HP, Gateway and Acer. Lenovo, with the once-famous-IBM Thinkpad, seems to do quite badly, being behind of even Dell, which I had found to be most problematic during my 4 years life in university. Surprisingly, Dell perform better than I have expected. I thought it would be somewhere near Acer.

So if you are buying a new laptop (or I would cutely call it lappy), get Asus and Toshiba, or Apple and Sony if you always have cash to burn. Really.

Time

"Time flies"
"Time waits for no man"
"Time is gold"
"Time, you will never appreciate it until it passes"

It was fast. So fast that I thought it would never come. In fact it did. And it is coming so soon.
I know I am going to miss it. Miss 4 years time I will be in IMU. Miss all the things good, bad, neutral, whoever, wherever and whatever that happens in IMU. Miss most of those special lecturers. Miss all the exams (!!swt!!).

Now that it is going to pass, I think I started to have Peter Pan Syndrome. I don't want to grow up. I don't want to work yet. I don't want to do adult things yet. I want to play more. Play. Play. PLAY!! Will there be a time where I can indulge in my hobbies like now in IMU? Will there be a chance where I can play basketball with some casual buddies? Will there be a LAN game party for me? Will there ever be another client for me to play around with different virus/PC problem? Will there be a chance that I can meet all my buddies in IMU? Those where the questions that arise with my Peter Pan Syndrome.

And here is Graduation (Friends Forever) by Vitamin C...

Web Browser: Transportation edition

Via ReflectionOf.Me

This week special: The final countdown...

The day I wrote this is the last day of class. In my whole 4 years of BPharm course. This is it. This is the last day. This will be the last day I will be in class. Listening to lecturer/seminar/tutorial...I think I am actually going to miss it. And I never thought I would think it that way...

Ok...So what should I do today?Since it is the last day of class, gonna wear my favourite shirt/pants/underwear combination today. And take pictures. A lot of them! With all the people, all the faces...And all the classrooms that I have been since the first semester, including LT1, LT2, LT3, Auditorium A & B (personal favourite), PBL rooms, MPH 1-5...Ah....those were the nostalgic days...I do sounds like an old man when I said this...I know. But who cares! I am both old and young!

The last 4 years was tremendous. We have seen many crazy stuff, history and record broken. We have seen lecturers come and go. We have (although technically, I did not) camped outside of IMU for a f**king selective. We have all the important books in the library going MIA every beginning of the semester. Oh, and not to forget, we have (at least some of us have) gone to the research lab in the middle of the night for a f**king research. We have people skipping classes for a damn shopping trip or a meal. We have people fishing all the fishes in the class during lectures (rf). *sarcasm* A few of us even tried to challenge the record of "Fewest Days in IMU before Graduation", although the real winner is clearly miles and miles ahead of the rest...

Will this going to be the last of craziness I am going to see?I doubt that. But this is going to be my most memorable four years. Where I had found my love. Where I found many great friends. Where I am going to get my degree. Where my career officially starts. Where everything in the adulthood begins...

Man! I really sounds like an old man! Arrgh!!

Annoucing the newest gadget in the family...

A bit late on the introduction, but here it is:
The newest gadget in my family:
Nokia 5800 Xpress Music



This is also another landmark for my gadget's history: My first Nokia phone (that I have bought).
For those who are interested in politic, it also signify that I officially "lompat party", from Sony Erricsson to Nokia.

Reason, you asked? Simple. I want cheap, HSDPA-capable phone with GPS and WiFi on the move. Camera is optional for me. Edit: Now a bit regret..Cause 5800 camera really like...Swt...The cheapest from Sony Erricson (latest hardware that is) is W995 and C905. Satio is out due to the price....Meanwhile, the challenger from the Nokia camp is N79, X6 and 5800.W995 is big and nice, but too expensive and is thus out of my range, similar to Satio. C905 is nice though and near my budget range...But flip phone...Hmm...High probability of becoming more than a slider due to my extremely volatile movement. X6 and N79 from Nokia is the other contender. But price and design wise, 5800 (IMO) looks better than N97 and cheaper than X6.

Aih...Don't care lah. I got my Nokia 5800 for cheap, RM910 for an original set. A great bargain for me. Until the time I have a need for smarter phone, this cheaper "smart(?)" phone is gonna be my playmate for a while...
;)

Now...If you will excuse me, Ovi store awaits me...And customised Malfreemap on my Garmin Mobile XT awaits me...Time to play play...

Lessons Learned on Integrated Seminar Week 1

Based purely on my observation...

1. Its never great to be the first team to present, whenever and wherever. 
Reason: You have got no point of reference when presenting something unusual and new.
Example: Common pharmaceutical care plan. Anyway, WHO THE HELL THOUGHT OF SOME SHIT THINGS LIKE THIS?

2. Never ever ask too much question in the integrated seminar that could kill your fellow classmates. 
Reason:  When it is your turn, you are going to drag down your teammate(s) by the barrage of missiles and nukes warhead coming at you from 360 degrees from some of the (usually) silent powerhouse.
Example: I don't think we need any example here. It is so damn obvious...

3. It is always good to have low profile people as your teammates.
Reason: Statistically (Well, sort of, based on my observation + mental statistic) proven to reduce the amount of missiles and nukes aimed at you.
Example: Err...No name shall be mentioned here to preserve their anonymity.


4. READ AND READ AND READ AND READ ALL THE GUIDELINES IN THE WORLD.
Reason: Missiles and nukes from the elders or the young guns will mostly be based on guidelines. Memorised all of it if you can. Melt and fuse them to your brain cells. And better seal it with whatever gingko biloba or vitamin if you have to. Also, preferable not just from Malaysia. The buffet of guidelines from the millions of societies/organisations/bodies in US and UK is all for you to choose for.

5. We all love W** and *S* as our facilitators. And we all hate *I as our facilitators. Also **Y is damned in love with clinical trial.
Reasons and example: W** and *S* give me the feeling that they are very supportive of the presenter. *I, meanwhile, love to hate, preferring to slaughter the presenters. Maybe his taste of woman? I don't know. Just be grateful that he is not my facilitator. Meanwhile, no offense to **Y, but she is totally IN LOVE with clinical trial. So deep in love that she can remember all the strangest names of all the trial. Very useful for research though. A good thing about her is that she does not set off as many missiles at you as compared with *I.


6. Case study presentation is the most targeted area by your lovely-trigger-happy "comrades".
Reason: Most of the missiles and nukes aimed at weak points in the case study. Statistic (of my own) have shown that more than 50% of the missiles target your lovely case study. Beware!
Example: Errr...ALL the 12 case studies so far are your lovely examples!

Thats it for now. Got to do my integrated seminar now or risk getting fried by my partner in crim....err...Presentation.

What type of music listener are you?


[This wonderful picture was taken (without permission) from: http://media.photobucket.com/image/music/FoxyRoxy20072002/music.jpg]

Observation: The way my room mate listen to music annoyed me, in the sense that he is type A, and I am type B...Good thing that there is a thing call headphone...

A. I listen to the same song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again until I am finally bored of the song.

B. I listen to a list of songs (>100), randomised with occasional biased selection, double blind with no-repeat of music preferable. Due to the extremely long list, it will take a long long long long long long long long long long long long time for me to lose my interest in my favourite songs. Usually I do not update my collection with the latest song in the market.

C. Similar to B, except that I also choose my song from the latest billbords or 排行榜.

D. I don't listen to music. I am the public enemy of music.

E. Other that I did not thought about when I wrote this...

Happy 2010 (At least I hope it will be happy)

Yay! First blog of the year 2010.

Nothing much to say. At least what I can say is this year, like any other years, I don't have any new year resolution. Why? Never plan to have one. Cause most probably it will be 15 minutes worth of enthusiastic thinking and shaking the leg for the rest of 355 days 23 hours and 45 minutes. Yup. I am that damn lazy, undetermined, hopeless dude who prefer to sit in front of computer doing nothing important except playing, watching anime and look for useless information. So sue me.

Happy New Year to everyone!
