We'll walk onto the sunshine together
wah, the blog seriously dying, only 2 posts in half a month. anyway, just came back from ccal camp @ bintan after 4 days of non-stop fun. lots of things to talk about there, got no photos yet, maybe i'll post when i get them. warning: this is going to be a really loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong post, hope you don't get bored before you finish reading =)
Background Infothe whole camp is based on the 5 models of leadership.
1. Encourage the heart
2. Enable others to act
3. Challenge the process
4. Inspire a shared vision
5. Model the way
At the customshad an exciting escapade with wee pin at the indonesian checkpoint, but not really appropriate to mention here, so ask us about it if you're really that curious =)
Delta forcemy group is D3, for those who are interested, its a bunch of cool dudes namely sarah (touch rug), yan jin (harmoc), amanda (council), jasela (astro), adam (adhiyatma), james (odac), jordan (council) and ye chuan (wushu). really really nice people, though it is unlikely they would see this, but i think you people really made ccal camp really really really great for me =)
Nirwana Gardens Resortwe had our camp at campABLE and the campsite was super nice. its situated somewhere in Nirwana Gardens Resort. the resort had nice aircon hotel rooms, big comfy beds, clear swimming pool, great restaurant food, clean toilets, nice clear beach just within walking distance and first class service.
however, even though we are theoretically in the resort, we are not getting the resort, but in fact some fenced up isolated part of the resort which has nice... erm trees? but isn't really that bad, we also get nice spacious tents, nice rocky ground to sleep on, great restaurant leftovers, muddy toilets, nice clear beach just out of walking distance and first class self-service.
and some groups of people even get to enjoy the waterbeds, one group are the teachers who were living in the hotel rooms (ok maybe not waterbeds, but nearly as nice anyway), another group are the people who didn't or couldn't (thanks to FIT) pitch their tents properly.
but actually, the campsite was really great (for a campsite). had a pair of deers in it, first time in my life seeing deers out of the singapore zoo too. oh deer.
Oh shit, oh shitthe first shit is dedicated to the pair of deers living right beside us. not that hard to guess what shit it refers to
shitting is really damn shitty at the camp, first you have to take off your shoes to enter the toilet. next you have to use this toilet with manual flushes (you scoop water and pour into the toilet bowl). then you have to throw your toilet paper into a dustbin right outside the cubicle (where there is this huge collection of used toilet paper). finally you leave the toilet wondering what you stepped on while in the toilet.
and being full of shit, i went to toilet twice on the 1st day, thrice on the 2nd day, twice on the 3rd day, and finally once on the 4th day.
then theres the other ppl who decided that shitting wasn't their style, so they tried to ren3. one such example is james lee: he was eating like 3 packets of food (per meal) on the first day. but on the last day, he reached saturation point and even half a packet of hor fun was too much for him. since he could barely breathe with all the shit overflowing out of his mouth, he decided to sneak off to the resort toilet when he had the chance.
Don't be rashafter the second night, i woke up having a weird sensation on my back, kinda felt like a hundred ants biting you at once. at first i hoped it wasn't rashes, but as the day went on, the feeling continued and random wild thoughts made me hope its rashes and not the result of some weird insect bite or bacteria infection or fleas or overdose of prickly heat or incurable disease or - ARGHHHHHHHH *runs around screaming hysterically*
anyway thankfully the feeling is gone now after lasting for 2 days and it was probably rashes.
suspect of crime: a suspicious looking sleeping mat
age: unknown (probably very old)
nationality: odac room
last known apartment: BTB 5 ODAC room #02-111 (BTB stands fro black thrash bag)
description: likely to have stayed at home for too long after an expedition without a bath
so to all fellow odacians out there, pls don't be rash (or rather if you don't want rashes), wash and sun your sleeping mats before using them!!!!!!!
Sightseaingcompared to bintan, singapore's beach totally rocks, while bintan's beach totally sands. the sand is just so fine and soooft~. the water is also crystal clear, you can even see jellyfishes and right down to the bed of the sea.
we even got to see the fins of a small shark! and wee pin claims he saw a dolphin (diiiieeeee wee pin!) during kayaking.
You are such a Beachfirst night was cool, we had campout at the beach!
then we realised FIT (some adventure company RJC liased with for help) is a beach (pronounced with a "t" somewhere in the middle of the word) too! their tents is extremely value-added, it comes along with broken tentpoles, holy tent sheets, lack of tent pegs and a jungle attached in it.
the dinner we had was absolutely fabulous, pasta in cream soup and tomato sauce is just sooo yummy! thanks to all who were cooking!
then that night we took a nice stroll along the beach and gazed at the stars.
since we are sleeping right next to the sea, it would be interesting to wonder what would happen if one of the ppl sleepwalks....
Starry Starry Nightthe stars at bintan is really really really really nice, and you can see lots of them there. really really really beautiful. i'm missing the view already.
Interesting note:
just look up in the sky now and count the number of stars you see. thats probably nearly as many as you would see in the singapore flag (probably wouldn't be very much different even if you are reading this in the day time). perhaps the person designing the flag was counting stars then.
which explains the difference in the indonesian flag
there are so many stars you can barely notice the moon and they person probably gave up counting the number of stars.
Raindrops are falling on her headfirst activity i did was the wakatobi trail on sunday(cause i missed rafting on the first day thanks to founder's day). the theme for the trail is "model the way" and it is a trek where we were supposed to find our way around in the jungle with the help of a GPS (global positioning system).
our j2 facilitator was junli and she rocks! even though it started out nice and sunny when we were setting off, within an hour, it started to drizzle, followed by a downpour.
i didn't really want to put on my poncho was it was sandy from the previous night, but i put it on anyway. ended up flipping it inside out after the sand on the outside was washed away. the poncho didn't help much, i got totally wet anyway, especially my shoes. (someone should really invent a poncho that can protect your shoes)
junli was super nice and gave her raincoat to one of my group members who didn't bring hers. so she ended up totally soaked.
our group was leading right at the front of all the other groups at the start of the trail but then we got lost in the jungle during the downpour :'( either we didn't use the GPS properly or it was malfunctioning. according to the GPS we were supposed to go north, but according to the map and compass we were supposed to go south. then the map got totally soaked and started disintegrating. then the coordinates to key into the GPS which was written on a transparency started to get washed away by the rain.
its quite scary yet exciting when it rains. the small streams turn to fast flowing thick streams. so you gotta jump from bank to bank. james made the wrong decision of trying to step into the stream. even though the depth of its sides may be slightly higher than your ankles, you can sink all the way until your knee cause of the mud (thanks james for being the guinea pig). saw a person from another group stuck knee deep all the way in the mud. his group members all frantically trying to pull him out.
so we got stuck in the jungle, surrounded by streams which were quickly building up and no idea where to go. our cool teacher facilitator ms wong started taking out her hidden stash of lollipops and wang4 wang4 and fed us while james and junli was deciding to follow the GPS or the map. thankfully another group come along and saved us. apparently the we should have followed the map and our instincts cause the GPS was leading us to the wrong way -_-. seems like "Technology has made our lives busier, not better" indeed (Qn 12, RJC GP Common Test 1 2006)
You call that pain? pain my assAfter the wakatobi trail, to my horror, i have abrasions somewhere where the light never shines. so for the rest of the night which included an amazing race, i was running like a crab. found it quite awkward to explain to the girls why i was running around like that though.
then at night, used a lot of prickly heat, seems like prickly heat is very good for reducing friction. must bring a lot for june expedition.
then next day, another guy got the same problem as me, so i offered him my almightly prickly heat and certain M18 censored details may be obtained from him or me during your birthday next year.
Other activitiesgot rafting but i didn't do it =( heard we did really well though, and the first of all the campers to set our raft to sea. great job guys!
we did a challenge rope course aka high elements, well done ye chuan for overcoming your fear of heights!
also did sea kayaking in the nice clear bintan sea, unlike singapore where we do sea kayucking.
then we had team building aka low elements. had charles as our facilitator, very lame, but quite nice also. had to climb an approximately 3.5 metre flat wall, too bad not everyone made it across, and too bad for me and james' shoulders.
had night time amazing race also, wasn't really amazing, and wasn't much of a race too since most ppl were slacking, but the activities were quite entertaining.
Food for thoughtfood there isn't really that bad for a camp, but they really really look like leftovers from the resort. there was cabbage, long beans, fried fish, fried chicken, fried fish, more fried fish, did i mention fried fish?
then on the last night of camp, we had "Grand Dinner" (quoted from the camp programme). which really consisted of cabbage, long beans, grilled fish, grilled chicken, sausage(finally something new), grilled fish, more grilled fish, did i mention grilled fish?
finally, on the final day, we had "Grand lunch"... need i say more?
Just like the fire, our passion will burn... out?had a campfire on the beach during the last night, right after grand dinner, the fire started out REALLY big, the wood alone was around 1.5 storeys high.
the campfire itself was quite sad, all the groups' performances were quite sucky (including my own group's). but the atmosphere that was built up was pretty good, then mr siva sang some songs (oh no can't rmb what songs). and shawn tan was declared manliest guy and sexiest girlfriend on the same night! w000000!
then as usual, mr shah shared pick-up lines and here's his best for 2006
*looking up into the sky* "I was just thinking about time and space, if you have the time, i have the space"
then the campfire ended with an anti-climax of a video clip of all our activities. the video clip basically consisted of many zoom-ins onto ppl's faces and a temporary distraction of the cameraman by a tourist in bikini. everyone got damn sian of the video and the video also got damn sian of itself, so it committed a fatal error and closed itself. so we ended the campfire then and went back to sleep. had a S06M meeting at night and talked a lot of cock, but got chased off to sleep.
Reflectionsthis bit is going to be serious, so if you are already feeling bored, i suggest you go do something more productive >_<
the camp has been really really meaningful, probably the most meaningful camp i ever had. having junli as our wakatobi facilitator is probably the best thing that could happen to me as it was a really great learning experience. she would put herself in danger and be at the front helping us along even if she isn't that much more experienced and better than us. she even sacrifice herself in order to help others. remaining calm even in the most critical situations like when we were lost and finding a way to solve the problem. a really admirable leader.
it is also great to have ms wong as our teacher facilitator, a person who constantly provides a cheerful smile and keeps us happy with her endless supply of sweets and snacks. in her own way, she also played a great role as a leader by keeping us encouraged and letting us enjoy the camp to the fullest.
weakness and inadequacies can be overcomed. do not give up simply before you even try simply because you think you do not have the ability to accomplish it. more often than not, what you need is just more self-confidence, or maybe just a bit of help.
even at the end of the camp during packing up, i overheard ppl not wanting to tie up the wooden sticks cause they didn't know how to. i thought that was quite stupid cause the knots we were using the tie were just simple knots he probably used to tie his shoelaces. perhaps he should have just tried to find out how easy it is.
to all leaders in your own right out there, something meaningful they said in the camp. when you are feeling down, feeling totally stressed from your problems as a leader, just remember that out there, many other leaders are also facing the same problem.
above all, i would like to thank my group and subgroup D3 for making this camp such an eventful and fun one for me. it has been a great time with you guys and i will always remember the time i spent with all of you. thank you sarah, thank you yan jin, thank you amanda, thank you jasela, thank you adam, thank you james, thank you jordan, thank you ye chuan, thank you ms wong and thank you junli.
a leader should be a light that draws people towards the destination and not a whip that forces them towards where they do not want to be.
so with this i conclude my post, i'll post more when i remember more stuff. thank you to all those who have faithfully read this until this line. thank you thank you.
X-Men 3.5: The First Test
Today was a day of disappointment n more disappointment.
1. i flunk GP Common Test
1.5. (not exactly disappointing, but nevertheless happened today) Film Soc Farewell Party
2. X-men 3.
Let me elaborate more...
1. i flunk GP Common Test and thats it. nth much to explain.
2. X-men 3. was not up to my expectations...
~ warning. spoilers included~
firstly, there nd to be hype n expectations for there to b disappointment. and hey. its X-MEN THREE! every schoolboy's fantasy; dream. ok.mayb it is just me. but still..its X-MEN!!!! its like how cool.one of my fav ever..the intricate storylines..amazin plot and history. omg.just breath-taking..n X-MEN 1 & 2 were marvelous. and im gettin to watch this before the official launch! how cool can tt be?!
However, however, however,..X-MEN 3 was more of a flop. the storyline is so diff..
1. McCoy was nv some high post gvt personnel. and there is definitely no such thing as that institution he is in.
2. there was never any cure! it was some evil plan by apocalypse! im sure mystique lost her powers..well..the only gd part bout tt was she was naked...though nth much to see anw...
3. im sure 4 of the cure is useless for magneto n he still retain some of his powers at the end...other mutants just lan diao with one ..dots.
4. er..Xavier died. acceptable..but okay...
4.5 ok..got updated..mayb he din died..transferred his mind to that bed-ridden guy.woke up call the nurse. the nurse replied "Charles?" then end..this is even more stupid than Xavier disintegratin..however still acceptable..he is tt smart n rather powerful anw...
5. Scott Summers a.k.a Cyclops...a main character in X-Men. the leader of X-Men..the one to succeed Xavier n take over the reins of the sch. i figured has less than 10 mins of screen time n not much of lines (same for jean grey. major char of this last installment of the trilogy) and not only so. he died without even so much as a fight.just vaporized.
6. Phoenix is not so much of an alter ego of jean grey...more of some external power that when into jean..and phoenix cld hv totally ownzed wolverine. she can disintegrate almost abt everything.but not wolverine's adamantium??? o.O givin chance? i reckon not. chance came when jean managed to get in ctrl for a while....n let wolverine kill her... -.-
all in all...its okay...not bad nor gd..just ok...but definitely not up to my expectations...
p.s currently..im wondering how this certain person wld react if the power of beast (superhuman str n not just sheddin on sofas) is told by the person sittin nxt to this person instd of me. wld the reaction be diff? i was just tryin to help and share info like any excited fanboy wld abt his fav heros...
My Dad
Hmm... im sorry that i so long never blog... u noe.. i tried blogging like 2 or three times.. but things juz suddenly pop out haha.. like once, was juz about to blog.. den jere called say lets go out.. den all went out.. haha.. and stone arnd as usual.. yea.... haiz.. sry this post not bout tok kok..
its sort of for me to do some reflections.
Ok see.. my brother and i.. had some argument and stuff... well.. thats not the real important stuff.. but yea.. cause of argument.. we got called in by dad... to get lectured...
my dad doesnt hit us or nething.. nor does he scold.. when he lectures... he really lectures and reasons... and this time... it really made me realise how great my dad is.. how right he is and how much i have to learn from him.. and how i have been taking things for granted....
Many of us take our parents for granted.. what they do to us and stuff... and sometimes we are even rude to them and argue and stuff... my brother was arguing a lot with my mother and it was a heated arguement... that was when my father told us about respect...
we the new generation.. often lack respect for our parents and elders... "would you shout at your superiors? be rude at them, 大呼小叫? no, but yet you DARE to do that to your parents... who do u think you are? you lack respect...
i am not using my athority as your father to oppress you. here i am listening to your own reasonings, yet you cant listen to mine without breaking up my sentences and raising your voice? like MM lee said... there must be a certain limit one can go. and you have to respect me. No matter what, you have to respect your elders, it is basic. even if mum hits you or scolds you, there is a reason, you have to right to retaliate so fiercely and say such hurtful and subjective comments about your mother.
My father, your grand father. use to hit us too when we were young.. and its way worse than you can think of. we have all experienced this before.. its part of the process of growing up.. but never have we ever been so rude to our parents and NEVER EVER do we hold any grudges
(my bro has some grudges wif my mum, and is like constantly at war wif my mum.. for dunno how long.. over thoes 芝麻小事 i will talk abt them l8er) and express such hatreat as u do... even though how harsh my father was to us since young, no matter how strict, we have lived with him, taken care of him, until he passed away.. and why? because i respect him. i respect my father deeply. that is what you all lack. respect."
that part really moved me to tears..Learn to forgive and forget, not learn to hate.. live and let live.. were his main words...
"you often only remember the bad things, the punishment that mum has set upon you. you hold on to these bad memories so tightly that it forms to such hatreat... yet you cannot be bothered to even remember any of the good things that your mum and i have done to you. how can you, keep regurgitating these small little things and express hatreat to your parents over these... have you ever see the bigger picture? the care, the concern, the love that we put in, can far outweigh anything a hundread times over. 我们有没有亏待过你吗？yet have you ever shown a tinge of appreciation? and instead, you hold these heavy grudges of us "ill treating" you when you were young, punishing you, and then regurgitating thoes memories as rebelious actions. i have laid my hands of for very long. and i seldom hit you in the past. but i want you to think now. when have i hit you and what were they for. (bro cant think of nething) let me tell you. 3 things. 1. STEALING MONEY. 2.being dishonost 3.bullying others can you remember them? do i hit you for no reason? now you are in the army.. you have your own allowance... but i still give you allowance every now and then.. why? have you ever thought of why? because i know you spend money like using water. and i give you these extra cash so that you would not one day, run out of money, and start manifesting thoes greedy thoughts and back to your old ways of stealing money... think a bout it"
this part i really couldnt stop tearing.. cause i realised how great my father was..... my bro juz takes the money say thx and doesnt really do much.. juz like spend it and stuff... never have i or he thought that this was actually my fathers way of helping him contol himself.
"男子汉， 心胸不要这么狭窄... Learn to forgive and forget, not learn to hate. why make a mountain out of a molehill? why hold any grudges? all the more, at your own family? why must you have the concept of an eye for an eye? an eye for an eye makes the world go blind. yes sure.. i used to be like you when i was younger.. in the army.. thoes coprals and seargants... 征我征到要死. 我也是整天都想：“他妈的。。总有一天，我升值之后，一定找你们算账。把你们征死. but after time, after being promoted. i realised that they are no longer a threat and now they even have to look at me with different eyes and call me sir... its over. i have already gone beyond their level. i have excelled ahead and why stoop to their level? instead of hating them.. now i even pity them... remember.. never never hold grudges, they make you one sided and make u unable to make the right judgement....
"look at me.. i am the chairman of so many associations (singapore pawn brokers association, maris stella school alumni, the singapore Ho clan .. etc) .. it is not because i am more capable than any of the other members. but it is because i do not over look anyones' ideas. i do not boot lick and i do not look down on people... 一视同仁... that is the most important... 你要走的路还很远。“
anyway... thoes were juz excerpts of what my dad said to us... mostly to my bro anyways... but yea.. hour long lecture... was really insightful and stuff. i think my dad is really very 伟大. how much he sacrificed for the family... i really have so much to learn.... oh and btw.. all was spoken in chinese.. so its like yar... sounds better, and closer to heart.
so yea... i noe many of u take ur parents for granted too.. but please look at how much they have done for u.. they do not wish anything more than juz appreciation. your arguing aint helping..
peace

人生绝对不要把时间耗在等待上，等待一个所谓更美好的将来，因为那一天可能永远都不会到来。千万别老是说等忙完再说、等忙完了再去做、等过了这一阵子再 来 计划，等到你一切就绪，开始要追求享受所谓更美好的将来时，只怕你可能也找不到能一起分享的人了。有人从求学时期开始，为了不输在起跑点上，假期的时间都在补习班中渡过，平常下课还要参加一堆才艺班。中学时说等考完高中再玩，上了高中说等考上大学再说，等到好不容易挤进了理想大学时，又会发现课业竞争的压力很重，怎么样也要往上再读研究所，等到你如愿的从研究所毕业后，都已经二十七、八岁了。结果你从中学开始、整整用了十几年的时间，在等待一个直到研究所毕业，都还没有出现的美好未来。
接着你从研究所毕业进入就业市场，将面临更多的挑战，竞争才真正的开始，你可能还要等工作稳定一点再说、等年终领了花红再说、等一切都安排妥当了再来计划。在你自以为牺牲等待的过程中，青春也在一点一滴无情的流逝，很多属于青春期该去完成于体验的事情，你一件也没有去做，而青春却已经走完一大半。虽然用“及时行乐”这样的字眼显得太过抢眼，似乎意味着全然的将礼教抛开，不计代价，只求自己快乐就好。但起码你也应该要“活在当下”，不要把一切希望，寄托在遥远且虚无缥缈的未来，把现在的每一天都当成最后一天来过，认真的安排计划当下要过的生活，需要度假时，就认真的规划一下，不是只有工作才需要认真，休息时也要很认真的放松，绝不要再空等所谓美好却不一定存在的未来。
在谈恋爱的过程中，正值青春期的男女生，每个人多少都遭遇过挫折、沮丧、伤心等不同程度的打击，或是自认为不堪回首的往事。譬如跟男朋友分手后，如同行尸走肉般，连续三天三夜不吃不喝也不觉得饿；被女友抛弃时，在几个哥儿们的陪伴下喝个烂醉如泥，连怎么被抬回家都不晓得。这些都是成长过程中的一部份，你应该把它视为恋爱课题的必备履历，但却有人在青春期的成长过程中遗失这份履历，但以他现在的身份地位，也不可能再亲身去经历这些所谓的“打击”。
就像一个在年轻时牺牲谈恋爱的时间，全心在事业上冲刺，中年后总算事业有成的企业家，他永远不会知道在校园内递纸条给喜欢的女生后，脸红心跳，然后忐忑不安的 等待她的回应是怎样的滋味，他用再多钱也买不回属于青春期的初恋感觉。难不成你要他自己花钱，请一位身材姣好的模特儿让他苦追一个月，再热恋半年，然后狠狠的把他抛弃，让他体会什么是撕心裂肺，欲哭无泪的感觉？或者，要他假装在等待一通答覆约会与否的电话，感受那种整日魂不守舍的滋味呢？
这些事业有成的大老板，因为社经地位与年龄的关系，通常会以结婚为前提的与女性交往，而且经人介绍的对象，绝对都是一些社交名媛或名模。我们可以想像那种画面，在一个半相亲式的聚会里，男方西装笔挺，女方身穿正式套装，在某家顶级的餐厅，吃著繁文辱节的西式料理，双方面对面拘谨的坐著，心里却各自有著不同企图的盘算；另一个场景则是在乡下，两个阮囊羞涩的高中生，骑脚踏车到市区看了一场二轮电影，回程时顺道吃碗雪花冰，在步出冰果店门口时，男生深呼吸了几下，终于鼓起勇气牵起女生的手，女生顿时羞红了脸，眼里尽是甜蜜。这两个画面所透露出来的差别，聪明的你，难道还看不来那一个才是真正恋爱的感觉吗？
记忆，是一种生活的累积。有人用相机写日记，有人用电脑写日记，有人则坚持用手写稿纪录生活的点滴，不论你是用何种素材写日记，都是在记载曾经发生过的事情。如果这青春故事正在进行，而你却缺席没有参与，那你生命过程的那一页就是永远的空白了！不管这一页的内容是中三年初，同学们一起去露营的记忆；还是高一的情人节，大家互送礼物的喜悦与尴尬，青春岁月的这个段落，你没有参与，就是永远的空白缺页，不管你下一个章节再怎么丰富，将来上大学时又跟同学去了几次的露营，也不会为你缺席的这一页增添任何色彩。
初恋的回忆应该是最令人珍惜的，就像金曲奖最佳新人奖一样，一生只有一次！虽然你可以在往后的音乐生涯上获奖无数，但新人奖的入围资格，一生就那么一 次，你只能当一次新人。换句话说，你的感情生活可以很丰富，谈过好几次恋爱，甚至还结了几次婚，但初恋的感觉却只有一次，所以请好好珍惜你初恋时的记忆。虽然它不一定有美好的结局，就像你入围了最佳新人，却未必能赢得奖项一样。初恋珍贵的是曾经参与，而不是结局，况且在现在快速变迁的社会，跟初恋对象白头偕老的机率很低，你又何苦为难自己，何不只保留初恋的美丽，其他的就让它过去。
在某个年龄层与时空完成才能获得的快乐，过了那个阶段，就会永远的失去，你也无法刻意的去重新体会。就像十八岁时去东海岸海边呐喊，跟二十八岁时去就完全不一样，年龄不一样、去的理由不一样、朋友不一样、感觉不一样、所留下的记忆也完全不一样。所谓人不痴狂枉少年，年轻时该有些小叛逆，就不要太压抑、太犹豫。当然，这里所指的叛逆，并不是鼓励你去为非作歹，然后留下一生都难以抹灭的污点。只要不太离谱，在合乎情理的范围内，偶尔翘个课，跟同学去打LAN，跟家人闹别扭时跑去死党家小住个几天……，这些都是再青春不过的回忆了！在你这个年纪，社会还容许你有些小小的放肆与撒野，不要明明已经三十好几，才来玩叛逆的把戏，那种身份错乱的举止会让人觉得很低级。
在你还年轻能承受做错选择的后果时，不妨多做选择，有时候宁愿错了，也不要放弃选择。年轻，就该跌的鼻青脸肿，因为唯有作错了，才知道原先的坚持是荒谬 的，如此也能避免在年纪渐长，已没有本钱作错事时重蹈覆彻。年轻的生命就该勇于尝试，想出国游学，就开始有计划的存钱；想自助旅行，就积极的加强英文能力；想要跳槽换工作，就狠下心来辞职。只要觉得自己已经准备充分，就放手去做。因为还年轻，就算判断错误、做了不对的选择，还有源源不断的冲劲让自己重新再出发，其疗伤复原期很短，过不了多久，你又会恢复生龙活虎般的生气了。
有时候宁愿后悔也不要遗憾。有暗恋心仪的对象，宁愿表白后被拒绝，也不要放在心里一辈子空感叹，不停地臆测如果当初表白了后果会怎样，因为后悔有时只是 一时的情绪，事过境迁，你或许会改变当初的态度跟想法，觉得根本没什么好受伤，反而变成一种回忆。但是遗憾，则是绵绵无止尽的悔恨，因为你连尝试的机会都没有。
求学时就读什么学校、科系，毕业后；投入职场从事什么样的工作、职务；还有经常保持联络的朋友、固定的生活圈、以及最后结婚的对象等等，记得对自己每个阶段的选择负责，因为这些选择所串接起来的就是你长长的一生。人生就是一连串的选择，你应该要对自己选择的人生负责，如果每一个阶段的选择，都是出自你自由意愿下深思熟虑的决定，那结果就算是错的，你也没什么好遗憾的，还应该心甘情愿的去承担自己选择的后果。
CD听过一遍可以重新PLAY，VCD看完也可以反复播放，那些发生过的事情，在脑海中都可以凭记忆重新温习，但，从没发生过与遗憾来不及去做的事情，却永远不可能重新再来一遍。因为人生绝不可能倒带与重来，虽然上天给每个人不一样的身材外型、不一样的家世背景，但却公平的给予每个人只有一次，走过就不能再回头的人生。十七岁那年夏天不敢送出的情书、不敢开口的初恋告白，你将来就算用一佰万、一仟万甚至一亿，也无法重回现场，去弥补心中永恒的遗憾。

today finally do CIA....wasnt really clear...realised no one actaully understood my part abt the gas thermostat........anw.the main pt is tt after everything is done, the Q&A n etc. i thought: tts it! finally done n over with.i knew it was not gonna b to nice a grade liao..den...BOMB..she had to comment saying tt our CIA has nth to do with gaseous state.
1:how can we use pressure law to explain since volume is not const (?? really meh??)
2:moreover, since refrigerant is at low bp (much lower den room temp. eg. propane's is -42.1
Celcius) i.e it wld evaporate => take in heat => coolin effect. nth to do with pV=nRT.
IT IS THERMODYNAMICS!
okay.i thought abt it.ya.she is right.but wait.we cant be tt wrong can we? i mean, most of the webbies we look through all says the same thing.
pressure increase => temp increase
pressure decrease => temp decrease
i.e pressure law.
here comes the question.how to show her tt pressure law is impt?
given a chance to deliberate abt this at home. i.e from 6.30pm till this very moment..
i surfed the webbie stopping onli for dinner. i came to a conclusion, i cant explain. i tried to use examples with numbers, real facts that can b used (specific latent heat etc.) den i realised its no use..zzzzzzz
i stopped...i think...n i just had to blog abt this cause
1). dam long nv blog
2). i nd to organize my thoughts.
so why not? 一举两得
and den..it struck me as i am typing this blog entry...the problem is soooo simple!!!!!
rebuttal to 1:
firstly, expansion => volume increase => pressure drops (Boyle's law)
then, as pressure drops => temp drops (pressure law)
they dun happen together!
at the instant when vol increase, pressure wld drop (temp is const)
at the instant pressure drop, temp drop (vol wld hv stopped increasing i.e const vol!)
rebuttal to 2:
since it has a much lower bp, when it is in condenser, liquid wld hv turned into gas alrdy.so coolin effect wld happen at the condenser! and it wld hv thermal equilibrium with room temp! i.e when it passes thru evaporater, instead of cooling effect, it keeps the inside of refrigerator same to room temp! heat travels from hotter to colder (hmm...so ppl who sit ard marcus gonna b dam hot too?)
in other words...a non-cooling refrigerator...
ya...i shall stop thinkin abt this..the more i think abt it...the more problems i think off..more headaches and confusion
heck.
Learning Journey
Hullo Hullo, yep yep im back frm the dead... like.. ya.. im sure i like half a month no blog lol... some man... juz nth interesting happen to me mah.. sry la.. i got super boring life...
