3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 30,June,2004 | Hmmm....nice night isn't it? Well...last night was kinda' like a bit too much too especially with the excessive darkness located almost everywhere. And further more it was my birthday too~~! Glad the lights came on two hours after the blackout occured too~! =) Speakin' of the blackout I thought that it was actually a brownout by one of Singapore's pathetic 'por kai' power plants on some crazy remote island like Pulau Senoko I think. But too bad it isn't....and it's those Indonesians' fault! Okay okay...enough of such nonsense ~~ it is too crazy to remember it ever! About my big day, I forgot about it of course and didn't want to celebrate it~! Birthdays are such lame occasions, and I wonder if they should change it to waste-of-resources day as well. It's really a waste of resources buying a crazy and wasteful large cake to commemerate the event! I'd prefer that a birthday would be passed as a normal one, which shall happen in the near future I guess. And today...looks like Ang insulted my intelligence again~! Some of them must be in league with her against me I suppose so~! ((Maybe I think too much...'kopped' from M.J.)) I wonder if anyone found TV advertisements becoming lamer and cornier these days? And by the way, the Eye for a Girl may be coming soon but at least the bachelor is quite good-looking compared to the Eye for a Guy bachelorette who looks so haggard and horrible that she looks like an 'ah soh' in a swimming pool! (Check 8 days if you don't believe, and the issue was published a few weeks ago~=/) Seems like I'm too lazy to add in any other language into this post today~~ and I hope to write somemore in future while attempting to juggle my heavy load of work alongside with play such as writin' blogs + written journals. Plannin' to write another story on FanFiction.net~~~but no one will know my pen name...WAHAHAHAHA! Okay, that's lame~! =P Dropped at Boon Lay MRT station after the excursion, I went to 'shop shop' at Jurong Point, which totally sux~! Not many CD shops are located there, and only a few lousy stores have made their rental there too. Definitely not a place for shopping, except for findin' some anime like Gundam Seed which is a whooping lotsa' there! Plus Western Singaporeans seems more geared to C-pop, and less interested in the beautiful sounds of K-pop & J-pop....which is a pity to know that not many people likes J-pop there. And I broke the law ;)! Eating food on the MRT is so kinda' dangerous that it can even slap you with a five hundred dollar fine, which is so kinda' stupid too~! Nevertheless, I ate, therefore I am. ((Copied le quote from a friend~~)) Too much saliva has been spit out that it's time to end. (K.G. will suffer if she could not withstand la Saliva Batterie Grande de le Alvin!) It's time to conclude, bye! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 26,June,2004 | Wahahahaha.....it's me again~~!! Wait a minute...this is my bloggie...so shouldn't it be me? LAME~~~...what a bitch I've been~!! =P That Ng Hui is REALLY gettin' on my nerves~!! She's been appearing in everything on TV, even joining Ivy Lee in some crazy slimming advertisement where all the crazy men just go after Ivy Lee and she closing the slimming centre door on them. I hope Ng Hui's turn won't do the same or else I'm gonna' bring a rifle to Mediacorp~! =) =) =) Hmmm...speakin' of yesterday I've been showing my friend the picture of Mutya's ugly piercing. ((It's a piercing~! Her name's Mutya! WAHAHAHAHAH! I dunnoe why I find Mutya Buena of Sugababes so funny especially in Hole in the Head & Round Round which makes me super tickled~!! [And they will go on as 'What's so funny?'])) Okay, enough it's super-lame~! I doubt anyone can understand it. Sob sob~!! Holiday's coming to a close~!!! But...there's a but there...((following Miss Poon of 2000)) I found one way to insult girls indirectly! Note this word 'Ladies of Virtue', but it means 'Prostitutes' in fact. It's so fun to call girls this kind when they say thank you in response! =D Whoooooo.....I'm writin' this long and not a single word of la Lingua Japonaise? Mmmm...this is so un-FRENCH~! And I wonder how many bonnets will I laugh at this time? Le French Kolina est la Frenchman et le Rendezvous et le Depot. By the way, 'depot' is pronounced in English as 'depo', not 'depot'! 'Debut' is pronounced as 'debyu', and not 'de-but!'! わたしは今日Ｙａｈｏｏ！チャットを入ますよ！チャット人々はレムでございますよ！人がへんたいで、目的は日本女の子を出逢うことでございます。そして、いまは終わりですよ。休みよ！左様奈良！ |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 24,June,2004 | Okay, what shall I talk about today? Oh yes....I'm so irritated by the number of 'I's that look like small 'L's! And I only hope that I won't have to succumb to writing such a form of 'I'! It is so irritating too!! And like my friend kept complaining to me, Ng Hui is appearing too many times on TV and now I kinda' have some adversity towards her. 但是，她的确在电视上appear太多次了！这事也烦死我呀！黄慧应该不要在电视上出现太多次的！Hmm...why am I ending all sentences with exclamation marks? Seems like I'm getting too 哈日了！Okay, enough of Chinese influence in this blog entry...it's gettin' out of hand~!~!! =/ じゃ…これは日本語のＳｅｃｔｉｏｎです。未来には日本をいきたいよ！私は来年日本をいって、楽しい旅を感じました！東京市が美しで、アジアの一番楽しい市でございます。これから、今の日は２００４年６月２３日です。日も平成１６年をあり、じつはその年はＩｎａｃｃｕｒａｔｅです。君は私の日本語が一番事と思いなら、事がまたティンクーしてください！僕の日本語はへたで、Ｉｎａｃｃｕｒａｔｅだけど。じゃ…日本語で使うながら多いＲｕｂｂｉｓｈをいいますよ！そして、つづく！ That was a complete load of rubbish in there. And my Japanese was superb, superbly horrid~! It's kinda' terrible when you're unable to write proper Japanese especially when not understanding its grammar properly. Hmm...but any readers should be able to laugh at it too~! =) Okay, I've got to end this post now! Bye for now! サー！まった次の度だよ！ |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 05,June,2004 | 今日は素敵な土曜日か？いまガンダームアニメOSTを聞いてございます。じゃ...コンピューターをrepairと思います。いまアニメ歌をuploadして、そのうたはrareのからな。そして、この日記の読み者はこの日本語を読めませんな~~！=P Okay, enough of some Japanese text. I guess no one will be able to read it probably too. Hmm....what else can I say? Another boring day with severe PMS in the morning which continued until the afternoon where it was at its peak. Gonna' wipe out my computer soon due to some errors within it~~=P All I just want to wish is that everything will go smoothly and it's best to upload my rare mp3 onto a backup system before anything bad happens. Especially one good song is the full version of the Charmed Theme Song =O Okay, enough of my rubbish~~~!! Time to end, bye! まった明日！ |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 03,June,2004 | Hmmm...trouble week indeed~! My computer's memory broke down and PW demand is getting heavier by the weeks. Well...at least no one's hearin' what I have to say...=P Now hearing TATU's All The Things She Said...imagining Chooedwinnie and Kolina as the two girls in the MV...which makes Kenneth puke too...hahahaha~~!! いま日本語を話します。この日記も日本語でタイープするが、こともいいそしています。君は日本語を分かれば、この日記も読めます。分かりますか？最近コンピューターが悪しで、ことは我慢ですね？漢字を書くことがかもしれますよ。しかし、日本語を書くことはむずかしいね。 Okay, time to end some Japanese crap within. Looks like I gonna' evaluate some PW work before I log off~~~bye! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 28,July,2004 | Forgot to cut my fingernails again. How many times have I told myself? My dear Alvin, could you please kindly cut your nails as soon as possible? *Sigh* But actually, I feel like a witch with long fingernails with the power to have black magical energy contained within me, and with the ability to cast curses etc. Maybe I'm a witch~~=/ PW is so troublesome...especially when blunders have been made...with the wrong date specified etc. And it is none other than a period where you can learn to fake results, and eventually fake your written report as well. (I learned to fake my survey results too...kinda' a greenhorn at such skills of deception~~! =/) Haiyo! See lah ! I've already sidetracked from my blog entry proper to some rubbish written above. What was I supposed to say earlier on? Oh yes...while sitting somewhere to expel the shit from my system or better known as egestion in biological terms, I was reminded of the crazy moments in first 3 months SRJC of 2004...especially when the first intake were rather nice too...with the retainees very friendly to us intakees as well. On a beautiful Thursday morning, all the classes had gathered at the parade ground, from 1A01 to 1A07, and from 1S01 to 1S24, preparing to be led by their CT away to their new classes. But alas! The tutors had told us to attend our venue of first tutorial/lecuture by ourselves which caused a great furore amongst us. It was kinda' funny too 'cause we weren't very used to the new system of self-initiation, which is to be used to the system whereby our secondary school teacher would bring us back to our classrooms shortly after morning assembly or silent reading period there. Quite nostalgic, ain't it? It was quite a boring and lame joke...but the feeling was there if you had been a 1st intake SRJC student. At the moment, SRJC is filled with weirder people who do not have the warmth of the intakees. (Most of us either fled to TJ, CJ, TPJ or VJ etc. I was an exception....flew off to YJ instead of entering 'proper' JCs meant for my kind of character.) Okay, enough of such rubbish already. Let's simply hope for the best in the future...while I miss my SRJC friends who are mostly in TPJ at the current moment. T_T~! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 26,July,2004 | Today was a somewhat crazy day. A kinda' boring day as we spent our time under stress at the Economics tutorial in which we made to be under a limited time to complete essays...approximately 45 minutes or so. Furthermore, the other class was so damn noisy that I couldn't really concentrate and had to stop short in my tracks whenever I wanted to resume my essay...*sigh*...enough of such thing already~~perhaps it ain't a good time to talk about it~~ -_- Another problem that is currently pending would be Project Work. It is so kinda' difficult to coordinate, in my opinion, that we had to probably create some disputes while in the progress of it too. Never mind...and I guessed I would delay my Constitution's effect until end of this week due to the badly done draft, which requires editing again. A strict one that would allow a better student to awaken within me. Why do I sound like someone in my class? Oh no~~~I mustn't change personality again...especially after secondary school where the major change from extreme introvertism to moderate introvertism is there. What else can I say about today? Looks like there is nothing much...and it's way past midnight too...one past midnight with a strong urgency to sleep now. I must do some work tomorrow...and TUITION tomorrow....what a terrible day! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 24,July,2004 | WOW! I haven't written a single entry in THIRTEEN DAYS~! This is so cool, given the special number~~! =P Anyway, the past few weeks have been full of corniness...especially with me sufferin' from PMS sometimes. [Yes! Some boys do get them, ya know?] Hmmm....what's today main focus of the entry? Oh yes I got it! My agenda: To write down...er....nothing? Never mind...my mind's going crazy~~! =/ Maybe I should write some horrible facts about my CTG girls....hahaha~~!! Let's see... Goh KG ~ The oldest of the group...so is the grandma of the class lor~~! Nothing to say about her...just only her lame quotes like 'Tell me a joke.' Rumored to be in 'les' with MJ, but believed to have been dumped 'cause latter wants to be straight. Peh MJ ~ Probably the most dominant of the group...not a good sign. Maybe just like Lina Lo from GYMS, now in SRJC. Too outspoken and sometimes want to flaunt off her English but can't do it 'cause she she she she can't do it. And and and and always look like like like she want to sue ya'. Sila ~ Yay! One of my few trusted allies in YJC! Also speaks in the anti-MJ league~! But since she's my ally...I can't say much about her lor ! Wah....too many girls to write....and so hard to edit. Haiz! Maybe this would be better should I write in my handwritten diary instead. [ Muscle power is so much better.... ] Hmmm....there's plans to write a Constitution to guide the pupil Alvin Tan of CTG 125 who looks like a bloody nerd similar to the Andrew in his history class. Somemore, he wants to be the next Mr. Loke...who is so damn sickening too. Kiam pah bo? Oh yes, his face's one kiam pah type too! Hmmm....what should I say more about Alvin Tan? And ya lor...his name is so damn irritating...with the TAN in it of course. Instead...we can call him Alvin Tan Wang Ba Dan...suitz his name too instead of that girly name of Jing Ren who sounds like sissy who behaves like some whore back in his heyday. [Whoever can go wallop him for me secretly...I'll sponser de ~~] HEY! Why am I insulting myself? WOW....I can insult myself so well??? I LOVE this kind of hatemail....wonder when will they make an Alvin Tan hatelisting in future? Oops...I mean the stupid Alvin Tan who couldn't even make it to a good institute of learning...especially going to pathetic schools like SSS....triple asses. [Serangoon Seconday School] Okok.....this is getting into a madcap....time to end up here~~~BYE & See YA!~~~!!! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 11,July,2004 | Comin' to think of the above date of entry, I was wondering about this entry 'In the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety-two'. It seems so long ago when you read about such diary entries too. Anyway, that date was the year when Christopher Columbus left Seville port in Spain for the Carribean which he deemed it to be Asia intially. What was I supposed to say anyway? Oh yes, I had been very bad at speaking other languages actually. Like for example, you are not supposed to call Octobre as 'Oct-to-breh' but simply call it as it was pronounced in English. And the word depot is not supposed to be called 'de-port', but simply as 'dere-poh'. Believe it or not, it is true. (Too much French influence infused into le Language I guess.) And 'le' is used as an emphasis in American English, with courtesy of UrbanDictionary of course! So this is le diary de le me le et cetera. But it's not uncommon 'cause I've been using it for ages to irritate many friends so that they will say 'ENOUGH OF DIE FRENCH CULTURZ'! Yap..it's made to sound German with all the crazy Zs at the back of le some words. Never mind...it's so lame. And I guess no one will ever understand my jokes unless the person is usually English-educated and has a wide knowledge of Hollywood gossip. (Mmmmm!) Paris Hilton is also stupid too, with her blond hair, and her smarter companion of Nicole Ritchie. [She smears the name of Lionel Ritchie, and Paris smears the great Hilton empire with The Simple Life.] And I can't really accept that Kathy Hilton is gonna' make a new drama called The Good Life but it's kinda' nice to watch 'cause rich upperclass ladies can be seen bitching each other around too. In Deo Nos Credamus! The original motto of the United States in Latin. But look at the country, are they really trusting God these days? Are they fearing God these days? And for those who suck at Latin, the Latin motto means 'In God We Trust'. And for those Latin experts, I use 'nos' to emphasize le motto. If not it will be known as In Deo Credamus, which is definitely not emphasized at all! Lingua Latina lingua bonam est! Go find out for yourself if you have no crazy idea what the above sentence Latin means! Okay, cannon saliva I am! How about rest some? Now, goodbye! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 08,July,2004 | Eleven o'clock, night, a hour more to the Ninth Day of the Seventh Month of the Two Thousand and Fourth Year of the Common Era. Perhaps less than an hour maybe. Being doin' nothing for the past three hours, with simply dilly and dally by my side. I wonder what surprises awaits me tomorrow? Is it just a normal day, a horrid one or one that would be happily unforgettable? Or one that would made me behave in a pussilaneous way? Life is short, so is peace. All the more we should not delay what we deem to do right to the next morning. Hahahaha....that was so damn philosophical rite? It's so crazy to write in such Shakespearan way. ((But I like 1500s to 1600s England anyway~~)) Thinking back of the history syllabus taken at the A levels, it is clear that this is not the kind of history that I can put my best effort in. The best history would be to study Europe's history beginning from 1453 to 1972. And by the way, the year 1453 is the fall of the last Roman empire or better known as the Byzantine Empire. That's when the fairly modern history of Europe started. My computer's jammin' up and I have no idea what is causing such a thing. It's either the virus within this computer or the Overnet downloader that I'm using. One thing I would like to use on the computer is to simply take a hammer and slam it down onto my motherboard so that it will 'contain' the problem instantly. But, this is kinda' stupid so I would not do such a crazy and impractical way to solve problems. Strange...why am I writin' such non-sensical stuff today? Perhaps...the 'whore' element in me is rising up and 'causing Mr Alvin Tan to change into a whore + slut. Okok...maybe I'm thinkin too much. [Quote with courtesy of Miss MJ from YJC.] Well...what was I supposed to write about then? Hmmm....typed several stupid quizzes given by mu-ryou friends in friendster...which is kinda' corny too. And I wonder why people do not write long blogs too....shouldn't these cyber stuff be rather lengthy too? Good example --> http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/; and I'm so surprised that there are so many people called Alvin Tan...especially of all shape & sizes too.....with courtesy of Google of course, and not forgetting Yahoo! as well. Okay...too much body fluid is flying out of the giant opening located at the front of my head. It's time to say goodbye....GOODBYE FOR NOW! Wishing myself all the best in the upcoming History Quiz for tommorow~~!!! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 07,July,2004 | Now what was I gonna' say anyway....??? Oh! Hmmm....PW stress gettin' higher and higher...with surveys to do...and I have to go back to my school to interview?!? *Sigh* I just do hope the DM will accept me...or else I'll face the consequences again. Wednesday...a rather relaxing day but with time to waste as well. ((Well...I'm currently doin' my tutorials and it ain't gettin' anywhere....!!!)) Haven't written an entry on fanfiction.net for a rather long time; should begin to write a new chapter as soon as all of these mess is cleared up. =/ And tomorrow's a long day as well...with MATHS again as the last tutorial which is so damn boring too! Lookin' at the GundamSeed OST makes me feel.....nothing??? Hahaha...that joke was GAY~! ((Nvm...I'm a student of gayness. [Koped from KG Goh] =P )) 難しい…難しい…明日が、だからタスックが必ず続きますよ…クタバレな！明日の中国語レッソンじゃないことがいいで、大丈夫になります！イマのミュシックが玉置奈実の“ＲＥＡＬＩＺＥ”歌で、歌がいいですな！だけど、ミューシックを永遠に聞くことが真実にじゃないよ。島谷ひとみの新しい“ＤＥＬＩＣＩＯＵＳ”アルバムがほしい、アルバムがちょっと安くなかったそうだけど。そして、浜崎あゆみの最新な“ＩＮＳＰＩＲＥ”シンガーもほしい、今月２７日になって出発します。 *Sigh* Demo...homuwookuu ga arukara, atarashii CDs wo kain-masenyo. Okay...looks like it's time to wrap up for tonight. It's been a long day too. Okay then...tata~~! =] |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 06,July,2004 | What to do at a time like this? Much work to be done...and everything's need to be settled as well~~! And further more Miss Ang was so damn BITCHY during the Chinese lesson with her kp here kp there. ((Oh never mind...most JC teachers are bitchy..especially Econs tutor-bitch Miss Aminah~~! =/)) Wahaha...I'm so bad...being such a person of sarcasm too~~~!! So much maths to do....who cares about it? It's just some A level subject that you need to pass so that many doors of university of courses will open to you upon passing this subject but it's so darn difficult too! I rather summon a golden key to open all doors to university courses and pick the one I like the best. ((Wonder why there isn't really a history course in university? Seems like similar courses only exists overseas such as being a curator at London Museum??? =O )) And suda~~~~so much work to be done...especially Chinese AO.....and I don't wanna drop until I'm dead. That's my key idea to maintaining four A levels subjects, and I WILL score for all of them~~~!! Plus it can prove all the teachers' bad opinion about me!!! *Sigh* I miss my SRJC era friends + tutors...they are so nice~~~~compared to the tutors here where most are merciless etc. ((Even my Chinese tutor's better than Miss Ang~~! Although she did looked a bit odd...)) Never mind...what's done cannot be undone. Perhaps the only thing I can look forward to is to just study and study...BUT I HAVE NO CCA~~!!!! *Sob Sob* Maybe I won't go to university after all with no CCA....and looks like Meijiao's giving the I-want-to-sue-you look again at me when I told her I wanted to try out the Biology club. Plus she gave out the Join-the-bio-club-with-me-over-my-dead-body look as well. I wonder how does she give such looks that makes her super 'kiam-pah'. Never mind about that Lina no.2....I can't be bothered with such people who likes to biased against others. The time now? 12.23 am....ticking away on Wednesday 7 July CE 2004. ((Why don't I use Anno Domino? 'Cause it's unfair to non-Christians though my entry title has Christian and medieval influence in it. Hey! I'm beginnin' to sound like Ownself-answer-questions Mr. Leong Choon Fatt! This is so shocking~~~!!)) Okay...enough of my bitching plus slutty entry. Time to get going on my Chinese assignment...AU~~ REVOIR~~~!!!! (I'm so FRENCH now!) ((Plus the bonnets & tea as well!)) |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 04,July,2004 | Haiyo....had too many naps these days. ((What on earth is my body doing? Is it becomin' la defiante?)) Enjoyed my day goin' to Tampines laughing at Sugababes' Three album at Sembawang + going on a shopping spree there with food to 'ta b'ao' back from there. =P I've no idea what kind of show Gundam Seed is but the music's darn good! No wonder T.M.Revolution really deserves such credit for producing the anime theme songs for science fiction genre anime series. Perhaps I should start scouting for the Ending Theme of Fruits Basket 'cause it's damm great too~~! =) *Sigh* I have not written a fanfiction.net installment for a week already. ホームウォークはもっとむずいよ。これはおかしくなかったそしています！いまきいている歌は玉置奈実さんの「Ｒｅａｌｉｚｅ」でございますね。Ｎｅｖｅｒｍｉｎｄですが、ホームウォーク絶対完了しますから！「“準備完了”この字がすきですよ！＝）」そして、いまラティんその語を学び、ホームウォークもつきますながらよ！物語の分をまだ書き無い、書くときが絶対探しますけど。ホームウォークをまだまだ書き無い、しかし事にするときは必ず探しします！じゃ…日本語がへただよ！そして、いまはつづく！＝Ｐ Phew...kinda' tiring. I should read more Japanese linguistics during my free time rather than to do other rubbish. But in the case of learning Latin, I suppose it shouldn't take up too much time. =) Hmmm...seems like my project work's ain't going anywhere these days too. Much conflict, combined with some who can't find time to meet, is gonna' destroy the group I suppose, with me of course ousted the first. And some class members seem to have a vendetta against me, with an objective to 'sue' me or something like that. Looks like the classroom scene is gettin' too political too with people definitely developing wondrous biases against each other by this time. ((Wah...I'm sounding like some person in the National Convention during the French Revolution radical phase. But if I were a politician, the best place for me would be in the moderate royalists 'cause I'm always advocating constitutional monarchy for the best government!) I wonder if schools in Singapore should adopt the American style of constitution. Judging from yesterday's Simpsons, I suppose the student council in almost every school there will have to write a Constitution before they can do anything about their role in school. =P Okay, I'm becoming a saliva centre for anyone who is saliva-less~! Got ta' go, see ya! 待ったあしたか二つ日あとで…さようなら！ |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 01,July,2004 | Really a sour day today~~quite terrible too, especially with M.J. always givin' the I-want-to-sue-you-for-slandering-me look at people she probably dislikes. *Sigh* Looks like I'm gonna' write some criticism about myself in the PW independent learning W/S 'cause I just feel like it. I guess I won't want my PW efforts recognised, or it would be devastating to me to share the credit earned within the group which will make me a free-loader in actual fact. Maths Common Test comin' up soon....but I really am not bothered to study for it. Perhaps studying and practising on a few tutorials may help, but I guess it's not goin' to work too! It is a good thing that Functions is not involved in the Test, otherwise I'd really be dead meat! (Functions is so darn difficult!) And there's a Youth Day celebration tomorrow which I may consider 'ponning' it for the sake of my work. Suda...I still much work to complete but I'm not too stressed out yet~! I don't really feel the stress of 4As pressing down on me. In fact, doing Economics, Physics and History are quite enjoyable too. I'm in a happy mood when doin' History tutorials, in a somewhat enthusiastic morale to do Economics essays, and a rather 'so-so' feeling when completing Physics tutorial~! ;) I was just wonderin' if there was a way to actually acquire pure nerd-ism in life. I don't think there is such thing as a pure nerd....like for example Andrew from the history class is only probably about eighty...seven percent nerd, and I'm kind of like seventy...nine percent nerd too. I guess pure nerds are hard to find but it's like nirvana if sub-nerds learn to acquire such a status where they are so smart that they can beat anyone in knowledge. 真令人佩服！ Hmmm...here's how to irritate some people by actin' as sissies. Some very irritating sissy quotes are like 'So Bad~~~!', '讨厌~~', 'Aiyah...don't be like that~~~' and 'So bitchy only~!' etc. It's kinda' weird but I like to use them to irritate my relatives. Especially with the first quote which is a super strong word that irritates even the most calm people, unless the calm ones like to use it too. I guess I've become another saliva reservoir this time. (Looks like K.G. ain't gonna' forgive me for becomin' a saliva cannon on her. History has repeated itself...especially for poor Y.L. from SRJC first 3 months~~!) =P Au Revoir~! さようならございます！ |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 11,August,2004 | Whee....the National Fervour is gone. Look. Four days gone in a simple breeze. It really tells that time really flies, or perhaps fly faster than the speed of light I guess. But we couldn't prove that according to scientific method I guess, perhaps in the artistic mind I suppose? It can also tell us that life is really short...with perhaps a quick test of life on earth? I was wonderin' the other day on why do other people write such minuscule blog entries? It seems rather stupid to me that most would write such blogs of puny and pathetic content. If you have nothing to write, then don't write at all! That is one of my main motto in my constitution, which definitely restricts personal freedom and permits the powerful result as a strict regulated student. But looks like I've left out the 1A07 Gossip Club. I suppose the strict regulations of the constitution should have nothing to do with it lest it would cause me to lose one of my most favourite pastimes. Besides, the world can never go round without gossip. In a nutshell, humans need gossip to alleviate any boredom that awaits them. Even people back in the stone age were gossiping on which caveman to marry as well. And speaking of cavemen, there are quite a number of them at Yishun where they buy a big chicken drumstic and start using their teeth to gnaw at it. It is so uncivilised to have such actions done for it destroys the mere meaning of civilisation. We are humans, not animals! Okok...looks like my bitchiness level was getting too high. Whenever you feel bitchy, you'll always feel like bitching around, and when you bitch around, you tend to get lame and corny as well that you will not produce corn but instead develop corns on your feet. Hmmm...shouldn't be too 'xiaxue' already! Hikaru Utada's songs are so nice to hear, especially Can You Keep A Secret & Traveling. (Yes, it's spelt this way. Even her English is not perfect and no Japanese has bothered to correct her 'cause their English is worser than her American-born one and that anything English is very high-class in Japan whereas we Singaporeans think that it kinda' sux 'cause we've been learning since we were small toddlers!) But, I'd prefer to hear her songs 'cause they are so nice and she writes her own songs as well! =) Thinking about Singlish, I wonder how do foreigners learn it? It must be difficult to learn it if you're not a native of Singapore or if you have not stayed in Singapore before. Like for example, when do you know how to use lah or when do you know how to use lor ? It is really difficult for the foreigner to communicate in Singlish. Who knows? It could be a National Language of Singapore someday when the Singaporean society has integrated so much that we discard our four original languages. Okok....I guess too much is too much. I have to retire to the night now. A very wonderful night! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 09,August,2004 | Enjoyed myself last night at the Esplanade: Theatres by the Bay. It was so damn crowded last night, and I have no idea how crowded could I describe it. Perhaps crowded enough to convert a plant-like me into a strong diamond-like me texture. There was also a group of boys whom were so absolutely SMELLY...and I couldn't take it! Nearly choked & suffered from asphxia in the train due south to City Hall station. Nevertheless, I enjoyed myself at the Esplanade with my friends...quite an interesting day. Hehe...we were nearly driven out of the 5566 concert since we left of our own accord. Now I understand why concerts should not have free admission; it'll cause a mob to form and big enough to form the sans-culottes of 1789. (Yes...the French again~! O_O La Diana est la Francaise!) Enjoying myself on Friendster again...with that irritating smiley face which should be replaced with a sad face known as Foester instead. In this way, we can enjoy BITCHING better right? Imagine so many people bitching around by writing bitchy testimonials, which makes it similar to a virtual version of Mean Girls. SO BITCHY of me~~~=D [Hehe...I sound like some slut~~] Friends is so funny....especially this episode where they learn French. I'm not amazed that Matt LeBlanc can be so expressive in French...he's a French-American, noting the 'Le' in his surname~~=) [He's quite hot too...! But I ain't gay!] Hmmm...why am I side-tracking...kinda' lame of me to write further good points about Friends. Back to the main topic, the fireworks were kinda' great but too short. We need more to suit ourselves to the Live Firing Area comin' up in less than 2 years' time! But I loved those cauliflowers exploding across the maroon backdrop of the Singapore nightsky, with the city skyline in the background. Perfect picture to take photo! But oops! Did Singapore ever had an impressive skyline? The only skylines which I would deem to be beautiful would be that of New York's and Tokyo's which are so damn beautiful that you would say 'Wow!' and 'Sugoi ne!' in the Big Apple and at the centre of the Japanese Kanto plain respectively. Okok....looks like I've been spitting too much saliva out in this site. Better remember Yoke-ling's request to lessen my saliva. And I'm kinda' impressed she really went for a makeover with her permed hair removed and contacts put on. Okok...enough of my rubbish...time to go...see ya! |
3,468,570 | male | 17 | Student | Cancer | 03,August,2004 | 'The first three months of JC were much better than any other period of JC life.' How far do you agree on this statement? Hehehe...I wonder if the above could be a GP essay, but it would be unfair to those who didn't manage to enter JC during the first three months. Nevertheless, I still wish for such an essay question to emerge so that I can write my best experience of it. Hence, our topic for today would be on the first three months. Perhaps not many people would miss their first three months at JC, but I do. It was one of the rare eras where I could belong to a group of friends and yet be not neglected too. I have a bunch of acknowledgements I would like to thank for making my first three months enjoyable, and tolerable. This would be put down later on. Most people in the first three months would have frequent thoughts of withdrawing so that they could enjoy themselves since they had already made plans to enter polytechnic as soon as the O Levels results were out. However, such thoughts never did once crossed my mind. Really. Either I was too absorbed with my socialising, or that I had already planned a route for me to enter another JC later on to continue the syllabus. The truth is, my friends at SRJC first three months 2004 were one of the rarest ones you could find. Unfortunately, we split up as soon as the period was over, which was some headed to polytechnics while others headed to different JCs each. Perhaps some chose to enter the same JC, but I didn't. And it was such a disappointment that I didn't join two friends who would otherwise be closer to me if I did enter that certain JC. Many people would be thinking that I'm simply sulking away in YJC due to my 'inability' to socialise there. However, not many seems willing to socialise, and prejudice is rampant in that college. If I had a chance, I would like a time machine to bring me back to 2 January 2004, where I could play my SRJC orientation 2004 again, and enjoy the campfire that the student council had planned for us on the last day of orientation before we headed to lectures and tutorials the next day. Perhaps I'm a little too overboard...maybe it would be better if I had stopped gloating over such trivial matters. Let me write down some acknowledgements: Edwin Choo -- Yes! This friend whom I made instantly within a few days, with a rather close friendship as well despite us being put into different tutorial groups after the orientation. During the first few days, I couldn't believe that he would be in this JC 'cause a link had told me that he was supposed to enter NYJC and not SRJC. Nevertheless, I took the chance to made him a friend and success ensued after that. He is now currently in TPJC, and we still do go on outings during the holidays. Sing Yee -- Another good friend as well. I just do hope that her 'war' with Edwin had ended too. She was also one close friend from SRJC, and was introduced to me through Edwin as well. Initially, I had thought that she was simply sarcastic but her true nature showed later and proved to be a great friend for all too. ((Why do I sound like I'm writing a Friendster testimonial??)) Anyway, this TKGS student has went on to TPJC too, and I'm still apologetic for not agreeing to go to TPJC with her and Edwin when she had recommended me to. =( Jean -- Oh! The Jurong girl...hehehe...came from Fuhua and surprisingly made it to SRJC so far in the north east. This meant that she nearly had to go across the entire island to meet us at SRJC, but I supposed her close friendship with us also made her tolerate the temptation to withdraw since the travelling distance was super great. And she was also everyone's best friend , and I stress these words 'cause the way she pronounced were rather of nice meaning. It's agreeable that she's now in JJC, judging from the proximity of her home. Ying Wen -- You, go away~! These were the words she blurted out when she had lost her five dollars. Of course, this was not intentional but more of humour. I still bring up this matter when all of us met, and this resulted in laughter. I've got to know her after managing to know much of the class of 1A07 as I continued my frequent socialising with them. And to think I used to call her the brown girl due to her uniform, which resembles NYJC's. Currently in polytechnic, I guess all of us will only meet during the next school break. Pei Ru -- One of the members whom I managed to know more after the June outing. I was rather surprised that she didn't choose to enter TJC, judging from her score of eleven points. Anyway, I managed to talk to her during the first three months too, since I'd always joined the 1A07 eating corner every break, or free period. I guess she must be studying away in NYJC, and one of the latest which my handphone managed to connect to. I guess I'll write again soon. As for now, I'll publish these acknowledgements for perhaps them to read. I still miss my first three months friends. |
4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 13,August,2004 | Ok, this whole blogging thing is an interesting oxymoron for me. I'm referring to the idea of publishing your private thoughts to be read by the general public, people i don't even know. And then this thought occurred to me... what about allowing your family to read it? I'm not sure about most people, but for me, I think I don't spend enough time with my family, in fact, i think they don't really know me very well at all. Is it my fault for not making time for them? yes, I think so in some ways. But the thought of my family reading my JOURNAL ...whoa... that's scary. But it shouldn't be that way, right? I mean, my family is supposed to be the people closest to me. I have another blogger friend, she lets her mom reads her blogs. And it's all about her relationship with her mom. Or rather, lack of it. Makes her mom pretty upset sometimes. So should there be a self-censorship to who should be allowed to view your blog? Do the contents of your blog change if you knew certain people read it? People whom you are afraid of being open to? Well, right now, i'm not sure if i can be so open and honest to EVERYONE. But the strange thing is that, since I'm publishing this, I AM being open in some ways. I think i confuse myself sometimes. And so I can publish my inner thoughts to the world out there, but somehow find it hard to let the closest people to me read the very same words. |

4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 12,August,2004 | After yesterday night's saga, well, needless to say, I dragged my sorry butt off my office chair and went to join the others for tennis. Hmm.. not bad, my third game, and already i can rally the ball over the net. It felt good to hit something. But later that night, a friend of mine asked me what was going on in my life.. i seemed grumpy lately. I don't know.. could it be work? A sense of uncertainty about the future, direction in life... etc? Whatever it is, I'm glad she noticed and took the time to chat. I felt much better after that. Did I ever say how grateful I am for friends around me? Well, I am. And I thank God for bringing them to me. And for my boyfriend too, who sometimes can be as blur as i am, but who has such a big, caring heart. Hmm... thinking back abt yesterday makes me wonder abt the balance between being an independent woman and a woman who just wants to be cherished and pampered. (dependant on others in short!!) Well, part of me didn't want to receive any help from others yesterday... it was more of like my pride talking i think. 'I am woman! Hear me ROARRRRRR!!!! ' Meow. That was how I felt... a facade? A strong woman on the outside, but a soft, vulnerable one inside? I am neither one or the other.. but I'm both. So when is the right time to portray the different sides of me? |

4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 11,August,2004 | Sigh, it's 9pm, I'm still at work, and I feel sorry for myself. My boyfriend and all my friends are out playing tennis right now, having a good time and all I'm doing is eating yesterday's leftover bread for dinner and staring at my computer screen. Ok, I have to be an empowered woman. Stop putting up a pity party for yourself! You can choose to leave the office now. Yeah, I can.. and go home and get my clothes and join them for tennis... but in reality, i just want to go home, sulk, and be pampered. But no one's coming around to pamper me. Darn it. Looks like I have a choice of how I want to react to this situation. Why do i even allow myself to be overtaken by emotions? It's normal, isn't it? Alright. I will leave. Soon. After I finish this part of my work... ok ok.. that will take another hour at least. No... I think I'll leave. |

4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 11,August,2004 | Had a really interesting day yesterday.. talked to different people, shared with them about life, God.. etc.. one of them being my maid, just by giving her a lift to the market, gave me the opportunity to share with her about prayer. She shared with me about Thaipusam, and how she prays, but it doesn't really mean anything to her personally. Also talked to another friend about loneliness... she's tried a lot of things.. and a lot of people have talked to her and said things like... your family's there... u have friends... believe in God and you won't feel lonely. But the fact of the matter is that she still feels lonely. I don't know if she's deliberately pushing people away from her. Does she even want to be helped? She doesn't want to be around 'church-y' people, and that's fine.. i respect her decision. Have I tried to provide 'book' answers for her that doesn't work when all i need is to just be there for her? And later that night, I went to my cell group (small bible study groups) and found out that my cg leader and his whole family is moving to Bangkok! And the wife is pregnant! :) Wow... I kinda feel sad and happy for them.. sad that they're leaving, and happy that it's the beginning of a new stage of their life. it makes me think.. so many lives out there.. so many people going thru different stages of their lives. Life really is a big canvas, and whatever decisions you make and how you react to situations paint the picture of how the final image will look like. How do I live my life so that I live it to the fullest? What are my priorities? Do i even care about the people around me who are hurting and are calling out.... or am I oblivious to it all... just wanting to have fun and not wanting to have my time interrupted? |

4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 10,August,2004 | Was doing my devotional today, and I read something that really struck me.. It was a passage talking about Satan, and how he is a deceiver, a liar... 'When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.' John 8:44 The spiritual realm is real... if we believe that there is a God, then there must be a devil. There's a spiritual war out there that we're fighting in, there's no such thing as being a pacifist in this war - you're either for God, or against God. So how does the devil go about the task of attacking God's people? Reading from Selwyn Hughes' book, 'Everyday with Jesus' (a backdated issue)... he says... 'Satan's major weapon is always that of temptation. This is how he achieved success in bringing about the downfall of Adam and Eve - and it is his chief weapon still. Satan used a strategy which proved so successful, and it is still one he uses to this very day. Satan did not attempt to get Adam and Eve to become atheists because he knew that was an impossibility. So he focused instead on getting them to doubt God's goodness . The devil began by saying, 'Did God really say, 'You must not eat from any tree in the garden?' (Gen 3:1). That question was formed in such a way that it introduced the first human pair to something they had not come up against before - an attack on the character of God . Eve then explained the situation, and this gave the devil further opportunity to sow doubt on God's goodness. 'you will not surely die,' he said (Gen 3:4). The implication behind these words was the suggestion that if God really loved them He would not have limited them in that way.' Wow, that passage really sunk deep into my Spirit. There have been times when i doubted the goodness of God, and asked Him (more like yelled, actually...) 'where are you, God! Do you even care?' How can I even trust you when I can't see you, or I can't hear you? But in His 'silence'.. a lot of times, there comes a peace.. (especially after yelling and crying to God).. that I can't quite explain, and it is during those times that my spirit within me says... 'He does care... ' I think learning to trust Him and walk His path even though the road seems dark is one of the hardest things to do as a Christian. But there is that thing within me that hangs on still.. and says... 'He does care.. don't give up...' |

4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 20,August,2004 | I was reading this book called 'Women - God's Secret Weapon' by Ed Silvoso a while back, and found it to be a really fascinating book! This book has really opened my eyes to see that women are really special creations in God's sight, and that Satan really fears us women! Hah! Eat dust, satan! Here are some excerpts from the book. (with my little musings, of course!) Ok, let's go back to Genesis when God created man and woman. At the end of each creation day, except the second and sixth days, God looked at what He had brought into being and declared, 'It is good' (Gen 1:4, 18, 25). On the second day, He issued no opinion. However, the sixth day undoubtedly gave Him the most joy. After minting Eve, He pronounced it 'a very good day' (Gen 1:31). God did not indiscriminately rubber stamp each day with the words 'It is good.' Silence on the second day and the added adjective on the sixth imply that He did a thorough evaluation before giving an opinion. Undoubtedly, the sixth day is the one that gave God the greatest joy. We tend to assume that Gen 1:31 ('and God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good.') refers to everything that He had made during the six days of creation. Ed Silvoso in his book said that though in a general sense this is true, but a careful examination of Gen 1:31 places that remark at the end of the sixth day and in the context of the creation of Eve. This was the only day that God changed His rating of the day's work after creating something. Therefore, women are really special in God's eyes! In Genesis 2:7, God created Adam by shaping him or forming him out of dust, but in Eve's case, God employed a different technique and used more sophisticated raw material! Instead of shaping her out of dust, the Lord 'fashioned' (Gen 2:22) her out of flesh and bone taken from Adam. This made Eve twice refined. Wow... now that definitely beats all the gender jokes out there! Women are more refined than men! ahhah... this really made me feel that... as a woman, God delights in me, and places such a high value on me. Therefore, if God sees me as worthy, who then has the right to say otherwise? And now, on to Satan... In Genesis, when God passed judgement on Satan... God lowered him to the bottom of the animal totem pole. God lowers him further by cutting off his feet. 'On your belly you shall go' (Gen 3:14), He declares, downgrading Satan's mobility to crawling. Finally, God ruins his diet too, proclaiming, 'Dust shall you eat all the days of your life.' (vs. 14) Next, God threatens the devil with the woman by decreeing that her anger will forever be focused on him (Gen 3:15). The seed of the woman will defeat Satan, who will have his head bruised while inflicting minor damage to the heel doing the bruising . (vs. 15) Obviously, God is speaking about the advent of the Messiah, but the fact that female anger aimed at the devil occupies such an integral part of God's threat must mean that women have a significant role. Wow! We are such a threat to satan... this is our position in Christ.. we have the power to stamp Satan on his head...Satan knows that, and that's why a lot of times, he wants to give women the wrong impression... that he's the one in control, but in reality, he has lost all control right from the start! So we do not need to fear him, because he is in the one who needs to watch out! Therefore, as God's chosen woman, stand tall, knowing that God has designed you for a purpose, and that Satan has no right over your life whatsoever. |

4,187,809 | female | 25 | Communications-Media | Pisces | 17,August,2004 | I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday, and we had a really interesting conversation. He was telling me about this prayer that he's been praying lately... to ask God to give all the young adults everything they ever wanted... monetary success, relationships, the lifestyle that they want... everything... but in ONE aspect... where God is supposed to be; one BIG FAT ZERO . So I asked him, what were other people's responses to his prayer? He said, someone told him... 'hey, what kind of prayer is that!?' Hmm.. what kind indeed... it really gave me something to think about, because in reality, i know a lot of young adults (especially in the church... myself included!) are seeking for something more in life.. it's like we're never contented... always looking for something more.. more fun, more money, etc.. And yet, there is an undeniable cry from within our hearts for something more meaningful. Something that looks like a God-shaped hole. I woke up this morning thinking about this, and telling God, ' I don't ever want to have an empty bank account with you!' (spiritually, i mean, duh! :) It has been my heart's cry to ask God to fill it... fill it with His presence. And yet, a lot of times, it just seems to elude me. Is this a route that God wants me to take? To just trust . Not to rely on my feelings. I have this disatisfaction within me, and part of me thinks it's somekind of holy disatisfaction... to always want to have more of God. That's good, isn't it? But I can't say that I've never experienced God's presence in my life. Many times, He has reassured me by just a gentle nudge in my spirit, about an issue in my life... or something that I should be doing. Or just spoken to me thru His Word. Could it be then, that my listening channel has somehow been corrupted? By something in my life that is blocking my sensitivity to Him... Or is it just the fact that I've stopped listening? All I know is that I never want to stop seeking Him. And i don't want a big fat zero where God is. |

I am definately a secure person, and while some might assume I am cocky or arrogant I am actually just very self assured and comfortable with my looks and who I am.

Spirit knows I don't need this to sound like some bad personal add....LOL Obviously my passion is my work, otherwise I wouldn't become so wrapped up in it and need an escape of some sort.

3,545,557 | female | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 07,June,2004 | Hey! my weekend was awesome. Friday- I hung out @ Nic's house with her and Brian...we just hung out and talked for a while. it was her mom's birthday so we ate cake! lol. Saturday- I went to Marshall's house and watched School Of Rock (great movie). It was fun, but then again Marshall's house is always fun! Sunday- I got a call from Mrs. Quindlen. She asked me if I wanted to go to the Blink-182 concert with Jack, a friend of mine who i've know since 3rd grade from SJC. I was sooo hapyp and excited, but I wish she had 2 tickets so Marshall could go. :-(. The I went to Shannon Munsell's graduation party with my family for a little while. It was pretty boring. Then Mr. Quindlen drove us to go pick up Jack's friend Henry. Then we were on our way to take the ferry so that we would get to the Tweeter Center. When we got there, we met up with Jack's friends, Zac and Dan. So it was me, Henry, Jack, Zac and Dan all hanging out. It was so much fun becuase all the guys were sooooo cool. lol. Great Weekend...Blink-182 and No Doubt rocked my socks. lol I just felt like saying that. That's all for now. love always, ~mel 'Down'- Blink-182 (one of my favorite blink songs) The drops of rain they fall all over This awkward silence makes me crazy The glow inside burns light upon her I'll try to kiss you if you let me (this can't be the end) Tidal waves they rip right through me Tears from eyes worn cold and sad Pick me up now, I need you so bad Down down down down [x4] It gets me so Down down down down [x4] It gets me so Your vows of silence fall all over The look in your eyes makes me crazy I feel the darkness break upon her I'll take you over if you let me (You did this) Tidal waves they rip right through me Tears from eyes worn cold and sad Pick me up now, I need you so bad. Down down down down [x4] It gets me so Down down down down [x4] It gets me so |
3,545,557 | female | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 05,June,2004 | Hey! Weekend is going pretty good so far. Last night I went to Nic's house with Brian George. It was fun we basically just talked and sang Happy Birthday to her mom and ate cake! lol. Today is Marshall and me's 9 month! YAY! lol. That's all for now...I'll write tonight or tomorrow...sometime. love always, ~mel |
3,545,557 | female | 16 | indUnk | Sagittarius | 04,June,2004 | Hey! I'm sick of Xanga, and Bridet told me to get a blogger. I went to the pool with Marshall yesterday, it was fun. Rachel, Shannon and Lisa stopped by to see us. It's Friday! Don't know what I'm doing this weekend yet, but I know Sunday I'm going my cousin's Graduation Party..Andrea will be there and hopefully my aunt will have her pool open. Today is my last day of babysitting. It was so cute yesterday they made me a card that said, 'Thank you for babysitting and helping us with our homework.' Aww, I feel loved!Ok, so the weirdest but most awesome thing happened last night. Someone IMed me and was like 'Hey Old Friend' and I had no idea who they were so I was guessing names of ppl that I've known for so long...and I said my friend Kris..and he was like 'Kris who?' So I typed in the last name and he was like 'Yeah!' and I was so shocked that it was him. I mean, I haven't seen or talked to this kid since I was like 6 when I moved from Glenolden. He still lives in the same house. Supposedly, he was talking to my friend Nicole, who also used to live on my old street, and got my screen name. It was so awesome to catch up and talk about things from when we were little. That was the highlight of my day. That's all for now...I'll write later this weekend. Have a Good Weekend everyone. No that anyone reads this. lol love always, ~mel |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 20,August,2004 | This is the first post on this blog. I wana hear what u think about the latest movements in the NBA |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 31,July,2004 | I am leaving for NJ today...going to be there for the rest of Augest. I'm visiting my grandparents, uncle and cousins. |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 22,August,2004 | Today I went to my uncle's place and then we went to the Statue or Liberty and took some pictures nad stuff...it was pretty fun although the ferry ride to the island and back didnt really go over to well, i've now found out that I do get motion sickness. When we were waiting in the line to board the ferry to come back home my grandma and my sister had to go to the washroom and so they left the line leaving the rest of us there...well you can guess what happened, the ferry came and they hadnt come back yet so me, my grandpa and a friend left on the ferry, leaving my uncle there waiting. So after waiting for another 45min for the next ferry to arrive we left to go back home. While sitting on a bench waiting for the ferry to arrive I was in the sun...didnt get a nosebleed today but I am definitly getting one tommorow...damn sun. |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 21,August,2004 | wow so many good things have happened in the past couple of days...I got a gmail account thanks to my uncle, made my gmail account my msn account ( something ive been trying to do for almost a year ). been to NY so many times, got access to a dvd burner to backup all my cds, and get to play around on a SUN computer ( one I know nothing about - yet ). One problem with the SUN though, all I can do is get an 'ok' prompt. It says 'ok' and I can type a command in ( none of which I know ). Very frustrating when a computer says ok over and over to you, specially when I cant find any help cause I don't know what I'm looking for... |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 20,August,2004 | My grandmother had won some free 20 min call to India thing, which she wasted today by calling the wrong house...that would make me feel real stupid if that was me... Oh well she still has a free long-distance plan to anywhere in America and Canada (which I tend to be using quite frequently) |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 20,August,2004 | Today there was a 'brown party' at my aunts house, and being a brown party you can expect that the 'arriving on time' concept if lost on the guests. Well two families were coming and one of them had the decency to call and say that they were going to be late, the other said they will be on time. Turns out that the people who said they were going to be late arriverd on tiem and the people who said they were arriving on time were an hour late (a standard amount). |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 20,August,2004 | This summer i played sum ball. Not consistantly, but i played sum ball. I played a lot of really good people who taught me when i played them. Overall i have improved a lot and hope to see how I match up with the likes of Geoff and Nikola this year . |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 19,August,2004 | Well after going to bed at 2AM, I got my 10 hours of beauty sleep and woke up....at 12 (for all you math challenged people out there). During my sleep I dreamt of looking out the window and seeing owls all over the cars outisde...Then when I woke up my grandma compared me to an owl because I sleep all day and am up all night. Very 'owlish'. |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 18,August,2004 | Well today (all one hour of it..) I helped Andrew's brother get a rom and emulator he wanted...It really does pay to know your way around google. Hmm maybe I should charge a fee? No that would just be mean...but still its an interesting idea.... |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 18,August,2004 | Wow...my second post via email...just doing this too see what all (if anything) google sends as a sig after my default... -- CHANDER |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 16,August,2004 | Wow this would be my first blog sent via email instead of using blogger.com. its a pretty cool tool, I can just send an email to a certain email address and it will automatically post to my blog...well I hope this works, would be kinda sad if it didnt work after all the effort it took for me to type out this message lol |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 16,August,2004 | The stupid comments finaly started working...they didnt show up till today and i posted them like how many days ago?? jeez! But yes they have finaly started showing up today after endless hours of looking over the template code 1 . Evidently theres a time delay, thats longer than usual for this sort of thing, before the comments appear on the page. 1 Not really... |
4,286,351 | male | 16 | indUnk | Gemini | 16,August,2004 | One of my friends, Andrew, decided to go bald while I was away in NJ, Jeez. Some people...they go crazy without a sane voice to tell them what to do lol |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 30,May,2004 | Can I please make it through 10 minutes of an NBA-related broadcast without hearing the word 'chippy?' It's starting to reach 'there is no there there' and 'sooner rather than later' proportions. |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 28,May,2004 | So, three of four gunmen within a surrounded compound manage to escape. Was it Saudi security incompetence, or is anybody else suspicious that more was at play here? The father of an Egyptian boy killed in the attack said, 'What is his guilt? That's not only my child, this is an innocent child going to school,' said. 'What is this? Terrorism? Islam? What is it? Those are not Muslims.' Meanwhile, an audiotape from the group behind the attack said that they will continue attacking Westerners until all had left the 'Arab peninsula.' The most recent toll that I've seen said that among the dead were an Egyptian boy, three Saudis, one American, one Italian, eight Indians, three Filipinos, two Sri Lankans, one Swede, one South African and one Briton. But surely it's the fault of the USA and Israel, right? |

3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 21,May,2004 | Some people were wondering why I didn't ask which company had the worst E3, instead of which platform. Okay... Now, if my main concern is console gaming, what do I care about how companies did with their handhelds? And vice versa. If I'm a GameCube junkie (or 'sheep' as they like to be called), I want to know what the bright sports were for the Cube, not the frickin' GBA. In fact, with regard to console gaming, all that handhelds have succeeded in doing so far, are to detract from the enjoyment of console games. Any Cubers who were looking forward to multiplayer games over the internet — and are you gonna tell me that Mario Kart online wouldn't have been sweet? — can look at the GBA and Nintendo's push for GBA connectivity as the reason why it ain't happenin' for you. (Yeah, I know about Phantasy Star Online, where you've got to pay a monthly fee, and I'm also aware of the half-assedness of Warp Pipe.) Then you have Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles. Inarguably made worse by Nintendo trying to cram GBA connectivity down people's throats. Problem is, a lot of people just want to play their console games, not be practically forced into buying extra GBAs just to make it remotely fun — one Japanese publication even gave the single player aspects a negative score ! Now you see why I separate these things out? |

3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 21,May,2004 | Going to try using the new Blogger for a while. If things work okay, I might transfer the rest of my joint over here. So... Um, yeah. |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 28,June,2004 | Well, the Canadians just finished tallying their votes a minute before I write this, and what a defeat it turned out to be for Martin. Months ago his Liberal Party was expected to easily garner the 155 electoral districts needed for majority rule. Well as the results of the last undecided district rolled in, it went to the Conservatives, meaning that the Liberals and New Democrats combined didn't even reach 155. Ouch. Totals: LIB: 135 CON: 99 BQ : 54 NDP: 19 N-A: 1 |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 24,June,2004 | Seems like there's only one who happens to make 95% of the articles when they're looking for a comment about President Bush. And whaddaya know, it just happens to be the liberal one who didn't even agree with his old man in the first place. Nevermind that one has a radio show and can be heard advocating for the President just about every day, that ain't news! |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 17,June,2004 | Many in the media have been telling us how wrong and downright deceitful the president and vice president have been this week for stating that there were connections between Iraq and al qaeda. Lee Hamilton weighed in this morning on the media's shameful performance: 'I must say I have trouble understanding the flap over this. The vice president is saying, I think, that there were connections between al qaeda and Saddam Hussein's government. We don't disagree with that. So it seems to me the sharp differences that the press has drawn, the media has drawn, are not that apparent to me.' Time for some retractions... |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 10,June,2004 | Love Firefox. Loved it when it was still Firebird. It's been my default browser since around version 0.5 or so. Like Thunderbird, I even keep an eye on new nightly builds for new features or fixes that interest me. But now, about a month before they're supposed to release a version 1.0 milestone, the leadership has up and decided to get rid of the outstanding, very Windows XP-ish look that it had, and replace it with this rubbish called Winstripe. Since most Firefox users are used to Windows, it's really unclear why they've decided to shove this Mac look down everybody's throat. Bottom line, it stinks. I don't want to be too harsh on the Winstripe creators — I know a lot of Mac users like the look. But when Firefox is a month away from going prime time, and users are stuck with a look that's more like amateur hour targetted at a platform that most people don't use, it's frigging ridiculous. And yeah, being Firefox, of course you can change the theme, but as a first impression to present to a newbie, this is horrific. The Qute theme, which had been working fine: The new Winstripe theme, suddenly introduced just a month or two before Firefox 1.0 should be out: |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 05,June,2004 | Man, I really hate to slag off the fantastic work that Ben Goodger and Scott MacGregor have accomplished with their respective Mozilla projects, Firefox and Thunderbird, but what I've seen lately is disheartening. One or two milestone versions ago (either 0.4 or 0.5, I forget), and I was using Thunderbird for email about as often as I was using Outlook 2003. Then they came out with a new milestone that rejiggered their spam filter — and by 'rejiggering,' I mean made it stop working well. The old spam catcher was actually my favorite part of the program, because it did it so damn well! It caught the vast majority of my spam, with hardly ever a false positive. Now, since said rejiggering, despite following every release note instruction to a T, despite probably more than 10,000 emails having passed through its Inbox since the 'upgrade,' it hardly catches jack shit. And worse, I get some false positives, meaning I have to waste a ton of time double-checking my spam folder which I had gotten used to not needing to do with the old Thunderbird. Ahh well, it seems I've lost patience with the program. I still collect my email with it, alongside Outlook 2003, but I pretty much don't even touch it anymore. And as the Inbox fills with hundreds and hundreds of spams, my inertia increases because I know if I start using it again I'll need to go through and clean all that crap out. Ugh... |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 05,June,2004 | Well, Ronald Wilson Reagan passed away today. Arguably the greatest American president since Lincoln (and only FDR is eligible for this debate), not just for starting the fall of the Soviet empire, but for the way he lifted Americans up and made them proud of themselves and their country again, as well as bringing conservative and libertarian principles to the mainstream. May God bless the Gipper and his spirit. |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 04,June,2004 | So when the unsurprising news that 75 percent of the terrorists involved in the recent attach made the news, an unnamed Saudi official claimed that it was okay, because the hostages were the first priority — coulda fooled me, going by the death toll — and that they knew where the others were and could get them whenever they wanted. Well, nearly a week later, and we're still waiting... I actually have no doubt that they know where they are. I just have every doubt in the world that they plan to go after them. This is one kingdom I won't be shedding any tears over when it crumbles. |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 19,July,2004 | So, a national security advisor to the Clinton administration, who happens to be a foreign policy advisor to John Kerry, stuffs classified documents and notes about them into his jacket and down his pants and leaves the National Archives with them. Oh yeah, and can't produce all of them when confronted by the FBI. ( urlLink Link to AP story ) Good luck knowing about this if you read Tuesday's NY Times . Somehow urlLink their article about the matter, authored by Mark Glassman, neglects to mention his association with Kerry, his attempt to conceal his removal of the documents -- why else would he have placed them in his clothing instead of with the rest of the documents he was carrying -- or, by his own admission, the fact that all the documents were returned. In fact, rather than omit the matter entirely, Glassman uses Sandy Berger's lawyer's comments to spin an impression that all the documents were indeed returned: Mr. Berger returned all of the documents and notes to the archives in October, within a week of his learning they were missing, his lawyers said. Odd...Sandy Berger himself doesn't even make that claim. From the AP account by John Solomon: 'When I was informed by the Archives that there were documents missing, I immediately returned everything I had except for a few documents that I apparently had accidently discarded,' he said. Whew, sure glad he's on the ball when it comes to national security! So, is this a new low for the NY Times , or just par for the course? |
3,412,421 | male | 23 | Technology | Sagittarius | 03,July,2004 | No, it's not a picture of Vietnam vets letting Senator Kerry know what they thought of his anti-war activity. Gotta wonder what posesses Reuters to take a pic like that, let alone publish it. Good luck convincing me that the photographer, Allen Fredrickson, didn't set that shot up that way on purpose. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 28,July,2004 | 今天突然想起以前在大学时学体育舞蹈的舞伴，还记得她的名字，常迪，google上一查，就查到了她的个人主页，原来她已经到了Pittsburgh大学，容貌依旧，似乎还没有经历多少沧桑。 清华没有多少美女，她应该算上中水平了，而且是计算机系，岂不可算才色兼有？我当时就读汽车工程，准备考G，傻乎乎的愣头青，还胆小怕事，性格内向，不善言谈，敏感，自尊心极强。可想而知，当时我在她面前是多么的自卑。 自卑虽然是自卑，我依然是有骨气的人，起码在美女面前表现得像谦谦君子。我估计她肯定会觉得我太傻太愣了。好不隐瞒的说，我对她还是有一点点奢望的，当然对于当时的我来说，不啻于癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉而已：）我的敏感和自尊心使我那段时间的确很不爽。她跟我谈过一次celin dion，我对此一无所知，像个乡巴佬吧；跟她边说话边跳舞，被直接要求不要聊天了：）；周末的那次加练，我都很希望看到她；最后我申请到新加坡，在工字厅还看到她的名字在申请出国的列表中。。。 当初的自尊心依然那么强，也偶尔会自卑，但终究是心理和心态渐渐成熟，但是situation好像还是没有变，我辛苦的转计算机专业，来到了新加坡国立大学。（这个学校在我最需要援助的时候，给了我唯一的一个offer，每次想到这里，我都情不自禁的由心内而发出的感激之情。） 我要做的也许就是要改变这个situation！！！ 看着她现在风采依旧，想起了我的大学生活，没有快乐，没有甜蜜，更多的是傻读书，读傻书，读到头来还是懵懵懂懂。没有独立的思想，没有创新的思维，没有过人的意识。。。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | You just have no idea of how much I want to archieve success!!! The reason why I am so eager to archieve success is to prove myself. I am who I am, and I am absolutely not a just a common person. So much time I have wasted, and so much troubles I have encountered... I need to dedicate to my career with all my attention and all my efforts. There is no way for failure. Only SUCCESS!!! I am eager to show everyone my success!!! |

4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | 语无伦次的说了一大通之后，最后来些感想。 最大的收获就是Lam教授的那句话，尽早计划一切事情，才能一切尽在掌握，才能应对各种可能的不测。 再就是自己的英语实在是太太太差了，这个太丢人了，回来之后一定好好练习：（ 勇于尝试。。。 对于西方文化，生活，思维方式，行为方式更加感兴趣。澳洲红酒口感不错，兼有养颜养胃之功效，宜配白肉。 最后的体会，到不同的国家和城市，了解它们，对于增长个人的见识实在是太重要了。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | 在悉尼的最后一天，就是要去见识一下大名鼎鼎的袋鼠和考拉了，所以就去Taronga动物园拜访它们两位仁兄了。 门票还真贵，33.5元，没有办法，就此一家，别无选择，这就是垄断的威力。坐着渡船，10多分钟后到了动物园。说到动物园，从我懂事起还真没去过了，所以这次觉得真是新鲜，何况还有考拉，袋鼠呢？ 首先就是考拉的地盘，长队排着等着跟它照相，既然慕名而来，就只好排队等着了。看着考拉笨笨傻傻的，又胖又不灵活，我想要不是澳洲把你们当宝，你们还真是早就被灭绝了。在外面等着进去跟它亲密接触的时候，看着它扒在树上，想照几张像，可惜相机变焦能力只有3倍，没有办法。。。这才感觉到变焦能力的重要性～等到我进去的时候，赶紧拍几张。。。 比起考拉，别人袋鼠态度就好多了，到处都是，到处跳动。有只袋鼠跑到游人的路上，结果一群人围了上去，可怜的袋鼠被上下其手。。。呵呵。。。我也乘机跑到一只袋鼠身后，靠得很近的地方合影一张，作为留念～ 其他的就没有什么了，要不就是太活泼的没法合影，要不就是太凶猛的，不敢合影。长颈鹿和大象倒是照得很清楚，不过太普通了，没劲。小猫熊到处跑动，照相也照不到，还有一些小动物，影子都看不到（下了小雨，躲雨去了），老虎狮子豹子都没什么精神，哎。。。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | 在悉尼旅游，最最重要的自然是要去悉尼歌剧院游览一番，我比较幸运的有个在悉尼的朋友带着我，并给我讲述了许多相关的故事。 作为悉尼城市的标志，甚至是澳大利亚的标志，这个名闻世界的歌剧院设计和建成颇为周折，建筑师的杰出设计，众多人们的努力，终于使歌剧院成为悉尼以及澳洲的骄傲。（不过我的朋友跟我讲，歌剧院的设计上对于声学的考虑不够周到，导致剧院里面有声音盲区。） 悉尼歌剧院傍边就是悉尼的海港大桥，还有The Rocks，包括一些bar和很有特色的店铺，不过，感觉游人少得多。。。 说到人多，当然应该算Star City里面的Casino，就是悉尼的赌城了。赌马，赛狗，轮盘，纸牌，当然也有类似老虎机的东西。在这种类似老虎机的机器上我的运气差，白送的10元我只捞回来4元。。。对于轮盘，如果作微观经济分析一下的话，当然是庄家的赢面大了，0-36的37个选项，每个只赔36倍，所以绝对不是fair play。还有很多人记录轮盘结果的序列，其实按照概率独立的原理来看，下一次轮盘的结果永远是均匀分布的。。。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | 悉尼的要付钱的东西自然很贵，但是免费的museum和gallery却真是不少。行程匆匆， 只访问了其中的两个：一个是新南威尔士艺术馆，一个是澳大利亚博物馆。 其他的还有悉尼博物馆，海事博物馆，发电站博物馆，土著艺术中心等等等等。。。 新南威尔士艺术馆收藏极为丰富，该馆共分4层，包括各种绘画，雕塑，摄影作品，土著艺术品，各种设计，其中也包括中国和日本及其他国家的艺术品。油画在其中占了很大的一部分，包括从15世纪到当代的作家的作品。由于年代久远，一些油画都有很明显的斑驳裂痕。中国的瓷器，水墨山水画，书法作品，甚至包括锈迹斑斑的商朝时的酒器，还有编钟等等都陈列在该馆中。中国的诗书画三绝，被翻译成 three perfection，倒的确是贴切:)日本的则有一些屏风等艺术品。 澳大利亚博物馆则是一个很大的自然博物馆，也是收藏非常丰富，包括各种动物化石，鸟类昆虫等等的标本，岩石，金属样本。第一层主要陈列的是袋鼠，恐龙，马等动物的化石。第二层的岩石金属宝石样本则让人目不暇接，各种岩石金属宝石异彩纷呈，绚丽多彩，当然最诱人的还是那些钻石和巨大的金块！71公斤的金块！！！看着金块，眼红到要喷血了，呵呵。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | 关于悉尼的生活水平之高，略有耳闻，这次终于亲身体验了一次。 从机场到预定的酒店，全程大约30分钟左右的车程，一路上计价表狂跳，到达的时候已经是60澳元了(1澳元=6.0人民币)，相比之下新加坡的车费真是便宜太多了，当初从机场到学校，还是临晨需要加价的情况下，也才20多新元(1新元=5.0人民币)。公交巴士也是新加坡的几倍，一两站就要1.6元，3，5站就2.7元；也许是因为司机的劳动量大点，需要收钱找钱。地铁更是不得了，从市中心到机场的地铁票居然要12元，快赶上直接打的了。澳洲的公交系统，真是摆明了宰人的嘛。 吃的在澳洲就更加贵得离谱了，唐人街的一碗面就是标价8元左右，如果在新加坡的话，最多4元就了不得了呀，在学校吃的话就更便宜了。怪不得我的一个自费的朋友，在墨尔本读书的，每天回家自己做饭，真是值得同情呀。 在澳洲的时间短，住的价位还是不太清楚，租房的话，一般都是120元左右一周(一个房间)。比较起来，比新加坡稍贵一点。其他的关于房价什么的，就不太清楚了，因为澳洲福利还比较好，应该会比新加坡好点。 总的来说，澳洲(或者说悉尼)生活消费实在是太高，但是收入却不是特别多，但是所幸福利还好，再加上美丽的城市风景，惬意生活也是比较畅快的。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 22,July,2004 | 乘着到悉尼参加会议的机会，我终于有了一次亲身了解悉尼的机会。 还在飞机上的时候，满目的金发碧眼，随处的明显不同于singlish的英语， 就让我已经惴惴不安了，我的失败的英语口语和听力，这次终于现眼了:( 果不其然，之后的几天让我有了非常深刻的挫折感，所幸的是，我这个人逆商 极为出色，越是让我觉得自己失败的地方，我越是能够在那里爬起来。 当然此次悉尼之行，给我极多的感慨和深刻的震撼，我在这次旅行中领悟和体会 到了很多的东西。 第一的自然是我再一次验证了自己的英语依然是rubbish，口语和听力依然是我的最大 障碍。。。在新加坡，作为官方语言之一的华语给了我方便快捷之门的同时，也扼杀了 我学习英语的动力和机会。新加坡英语语言环境的缺乏，华语的普及程度，造成了现在 很多中国留学生口语听力低下的现实。不幸的是，我也是其中之一。。。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 09,August,2004 | A little more than 2 years ago, only NUS gave me a valuable offer without even an interview. Until now, every time when I think of this, I always feel grateful to it. I changed a lot during these days, became more mature, and got to know many things. I knew how to do creative research, how to act maturely, how to improve myself... NUS, SoC, I would appreciate you all my life. Wish you will develop to a world-admired university. I would do my part. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 02,August,2004 | 作为一个典型的天蝎，我的确是发现自己的报复和报恩心理非常严重。 历史上报复心比较重的人中，杰出的有两个，一个是前秦的丞相王猛王景略，一个是三国时的谋士法正法孝直。 前秦皇帝苻坚和他的丞相王猛，这是一对堪比刘备与诸葛亮的黄金搭档。王猛之才能，文武兼修，足以与诸葛亮媲美。更兼苻坚无以复加的信任和支持，前秦王朝，这个仅仅三代的王朝，多年的建设之下，居然能融合各个民族，国力蒸蒸日上，一举灭亡强大的慕容燕。要是没有王猛的才能，苻坚哪能大放厥词，说我军的马鞭丢到长江里都能阻断水流？ 法正法孝直，此人的天蝎特点及其明显，具体见三国演义。但是也就是法正，才使得刘备得益州，3分天下；同时他也善奇谋，一直时刘备的得力谋士。 |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 31,July,2004 | From the toppest group to the newly added group, a new nh is needed to add. And the new group is also needed to add nhs of its direct subgroup(if it has). |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 29,July,2004 | nexthop is aodv_nhlist type data, has no copy constructor for itself. So when i use 'aodv_nhlist nhlist = ...;', after that nhlist's destruction will destroy all the data. Another thing is to initaite the list like the original code. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 29,July,2004 | mt_flag_co indicates if its copath item has a key; (for non-grop member, it has no key of itself) mt_flag_key indicates if its keypath item has a key. The data size is increased with the key number. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 25,July,2004 | So I have to make sure every messsage is received by all the receiptors. Each data has a id, and a list of ids of data received is maintained at every node. When a receiptor receives a data, he needs to reply to the sender. And when sender receives the receipts from all intended receivers, he can be sure this data is multicasted successfully. Otherwise, he will resend the data. Also A timer is needed for resending. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 25,July,2004 | this new member should be copied in the copy constructor, or it will be lost during transmission. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 25,July,2004 | When some rt_entries are to be deleted, rt_seqno is set to odd and hops is set to 255. But they can only be deleted when rt_purge called. And rt_purge is called timed. So when rt_update, note these things. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 24,July,2004 | I added the source node address in sendMACT parameters. But the packet p is free before I use this infomation. //////////////////////////////////// in recvMACT_J(): Packet::free(p); ..... sendMACT(......mact->mact_rqsrc); //here rqsrc has been reset to 0. /////////////////////////////////// Lesson: 1. because this probelm, I trace back to the prunetimer, and hellotimer, and grouphellotimer. Finally, I found that subgroups information is not received by the joining nodes!!! So before debuging, see if the group info is correctly delivered. Note: info is only initiated from the group leaders. so I know that there should have been some hello info between them. Then continue to see why some nodes who should be leaders are not. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 24,July,2004 | don't why now. But I think maybe the problem of arp protocol. there is no clue in the trace file...difficult. solve it tomorrow!!! |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | In MAODV, sendMact is invoked after 0.5 second after sendMRQ. I modified to invoke it as soon as recvMRP_J. Another place is glt_entry, hops count is added into its member variables so as to improve performance... Note: PREDICTION is defined in the code. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | Normally, agents are connected in the scripts, so that they can transmit data to each other. But when the source node has packets for different destination(in c++ code), connecting them in scripts is not enough. So I use MessagePassingAgent in my code. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | rt_update sometimes uses multicast route sequence no. to update route entry. Since valid rt_entry always has an even seqno, but multicast seqno is not always even. so this makes assert failure sometimes. Lesson: This Problem is hiden so deep, and I cost much time to find out. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | The reason is no route information between neighboring nodes is recorded. Hence, new aodv_rt_entry is added into the nodes between the source node and the destination node. Another reason is the bid++. The author of MAODV use bid++; rq->bid = bid; while in original ns2, it uses rq->bid = bid++; So there is a problem of duplicate bid. And the timout of bid is set to 6 seconds. That's why so long a delay in my protocol. Now there is no problem regarding that. Lesson: Trace into the packet send and recv function to find out why. See why packet are dropped, the condition!!! |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 23,July,2004 | When one packet is waiting for the arprequest result, another packet will be dropped. That's why 'IFQ ARP' is produced. So some arp coded implemented with a queue is needed for my protocol. |
4,000,416 | male | 26 | Science | Scorpio | 17,August,2004 | In the class Node, it has a member struct SignalPower neighborSignal[50]; which has only 50 items. But addNode of Node does care about that, it uses neighborSignal[index_] and index_++, regardless how big index_ is!!! This problem may result in modification of T_ of MobileNode class(derived from Node). So T_ is changed, you may see many error like 'Adjust position of node *'. Especially when you use more than 50 nodes in your simulation code. Initially, I found T_ was changed, but didn't know why. I thought it is the problem of the node-config. Finally, I use watch to find out T_ is changed in addNode, and then found it is changed by 'neighborSigal[index_]=***'....God, I found out~ |
