MY SIP, MY MP.

Alright. Here’s fast update of my life for the past 2 weeks,

First of all, my SIP = MP. Almost everyday when I’ve reached IMRE, I’ll be doing my MP. My SIP is like only during laboratory experiment where I need to carry out experiment for my MP. Sorry for the English though, I’m too tired to type properly. Still got to type report after this.

Working hours has been very flexible. We can go home as early as 10am in the morning if you’ve got to run a experiment for 2 days. The latest I’ve been released was like 3.30pm. Bless? VERY.

Working environment has been very good. Supervisors and people are friendly or otherwise introvert and talk to their apparatus only. It’s a environment I’ve seen very much less of politics. Unlike in TP sometimes, you can always hear people badmouthing who and who. I guess that’s the result of KIASU Singaporeans. It’s when you’re afraid of losing, then you start to ‘suan’ or badmouth? It’s very much of the ego.

For meals, we’ve to take a 5 minutes walk to NUS Business canteen. Meals are very much cheaper than in TP; cheap with large quantity. Tea breaks are provided in IMRE as well; with tea and biscuits served in the break area. The biscuits ain’t those cheapo type nor those very EX lah. Rather, it’s reasonable and nice to enjoy; wafers biscuits and those. 6 in 1 Nescafe Drinks machine are available 24/7; ranging from Teh Tariks, Café Mocha, milo, cappuccino and etc. There are trays which you can make Chinese tea, tea, add as much coffee mate like what Jeremy Tan does.

Basically, I call this part of my life enjoyment. Although the tedious part is the logbooks and reports, I’ve got no complaints. Somehow, MS Word seems rusty to me. It has been sometime since I last use for editing and projects. Zzz.

I’ve also got a new laptop. Darn cool. It’s running at 2GHz Duo Core, 2GB ram, 160 (5400rpm) Sata HDD, Nvidia Gforce grahics card (8400x I think) and DVD writer with lightscribe technology (means that you can print picture on your CD), and 2MP in-built webcam. It also has a remote control to say play your movies and etc, it can also function as a ppt. slide remote..!

It was good specs with good bargain and 7 free gifts worth like $350 plus after calculating free gifts prices. My new 2GB Smart Disk Thumb Drive also look very cool. Hahaha. It was a need to improve conveniency when I need a computer in IMRE. The computers are old and quite screwed up. It is lag and sometimes when you’re doing your MP and after typing a lot, it suddenly restart. Zzz.

I’m Happy but my Dad is broke. Hahaha.

There was a quote I caught on IMRE laboratory door:

If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything.

This is seriously a fast entry. Good bye.

3 Weeks of Rest & Enjoyment.

These 3 weeks had been a good one. Good rest, good time with people I spent with. Sadly, it’ll be coming to an end. These 2 days I was busy changing the skin of my computer; from XP to Vista alike. I had a great time changing system files but subsequently I found a program Vista Transformation Pack after much researching. It had save me time creating a Login Screen & Boot Screen. I couldn’t copy screen of my Login Screen & Boot Screen. But here’s a preview of my desktop now:

Cool?

1st June 2007. BBQ @ The Bayshore.

This BBQ was organize by Aldric, Raymond and Henry; the people with bikes & a van. Cool isn’t it? Seriously thanks for organizing this BBQ. I give my full appreciation. I guess this is simply the best of the best BBQ with wonderful and delicious food. It’s simply great!

There are… Crabs, Prawns, Sotongs, Stingray (plain but fresh, due to lack of time to marinate), sausages, hotdogs, the don’t know what bread which you’ll usually eat with curry (Ciam Tao Lotti) in dialect. I forgot the spelling for the English; toast over the charcoals and applied with garlic, chicken wings - as usual, crab meat, marsh-mellows, watermelons, pumpkins. The seafood simply own the BBQ. Also the sauces, I call mayonnaise, don’t what wine for cooking (not the Chinese style of hua diao jiu) should be the Ang Mo style, chilli sauce and etc.

The next group of stuff which own the BBQ are… Schweppes tonic, Red Bull, Ribena, White wine, Red wine, Gin. And… I was the man of the day! Making the best drink. It’s simple. Just mixed them all. However, always do it with the right quantity, otherwise you’ll end up like Nic/Ken, kind of drunk too fast as he add too much gin. So, here the recipe:

• 10 ml of Gin. Using dilution factor, 40% alcohol to 10ml and top up with others would mean that 1 cup contains about 8% alcohol.
• 2 spoons of white wine. Those plastic spoons use in BBQ will do.
• 1 Spoon of Ribena to add to the color; Reddish Yellow.
• About 15ml to 20ml of Red Bull depending on who sweet you want.
• Add 2 Cube of Ice.
• Add a twist of Green Lemon. Cut a slice.
• Top up with Tonic, fill the cup.

This is an estimation of my recipe. I mixed my drink with estimation of quantity through feelings lah. But trust me, everyone agree that it’s nice..!

Here are some pictures of the nice food we had:

Anyway, thanks again to all. To Henry Tan, I guess all of us will miss you definitely. Meantime, enjoy your work w/o students. Haha.

2nd June 2007. Basketball.

Had a game of basketball with a few of my old friends. Long time no play and hang out. It was all laughter while playing. It was great. We should come out and play more often.
