Yeah went for the tea session. Not bad, quite a lot of people, and almost all the lecturers were there. And as usual, got stunned by a particular lecturer… lol no need to state the name here.

Passed the CD to sup. Done.

I was wondering, how many people actually said 'yes' to the invitation, and yet, did not attend. I think that is so sad. So sad…

Photos? Er… look for Mr. Jalil for them… wahaha… Did not bring my own camera (you know, that one that requires the person to hold the button like forever, before it stabalises…). It's about time I did some self-repair of the camera maybe. My current self valuation of the camera is… $10. The value dropped alot… so sad…

It's time to go and be owned by the paper.

Er… I just want to pass my FYP, why am I getting this and that email, telling me to submit this and submit that, and upload this and upload that?

Haiz…

Good or bad… I just want to rest… After my last paper…

Haiz…

Now, I just want to pass my last paper…

Tomorrow's planned activity has been postponed due to unforseen circumstances. We shall look for alternatives. Lol.

No… not the storybook…

One more day to the end of exams, and the start of… whatever.

And hopefully I can clear the paper. I foresee that, for tomorrow's morning paper, either (1) I go in and do, and finish it in 1hr30min, or (2) I go in and try to do, and end up with 1 hour thinking of how to fill in the missing blanks.

Poor memory. Maybe, one fine day, someone will be able to integrate 'external memory' to the brain, as in, a headset that accepts USB connections to harddrives, and transmit the required information via electric pulses to the brain…

That will be… a freak I guess…

Ok, let's look at this song today!

Roy Orbison version:

Don McLean version:

And of course, Terry Fator and Winston the Turtle version:

Here's the lyrics:

Crying

I was all right for a while
I could smile for a while
then I saw you last night
you held my hand so tight
when you stopped to say hello
then you wished me well, you couldnt tell that Id been

Crying over you
Crying over you
then you said so long
left me standing all alone
alone and crying
crying, crying, crying
its hard to understand
that the touch of your hand
can start me crying

I thought that I was over you
but its true, oh so true
I love you even more than I did before
but darling, what can I do?
oh you dont love me
and Ill always be

Crying over you
Crying over you
yes, now youre gone
and from this moment on
Ill be crying, crying
crying, crying
Im crying, crying
over you

Nice wor… next time go kbox.. see if they have this song, and see what kind of MV it will show. Wahahaha…

Ok, it's Wednesday, and it's time for some after-paper planning.

• play tennis
• swim
• stone
• redefine certain things
• throw certain things into incinerator
• draw new borders
• create new rules

People have been saying why when I blog, I tend not to put in names when I talk about bad things. In case you did not realise, this blog is in the public domain. It is easily reached by search engines. Which means that, bad things can be digged out easily. I cannot be going around in this blog and say for example, "joan tan liying is blah blah blah w x y z". Wahaha…

I am not liable to you for any job refusals due to what I say on my blog. Lol. But I am liable for what I say here. Lol…

The chinese newspaper reported something interesting. A graduate has been refused the position of bus captain by a certain transport company just because he is a graduate. Reason cited was that a graduate will not stay long in that job. The best thing is, recently, the transport company has gone overseas to recruit bus captains…

So, what's the real reason?

Another piece of interesting news was regarding fines for underpaying for bus rides. If you are caught, you are fined $20, which is payable at all top-up machines or on-the-spot. If you failed to pay within 14 days, your fine goes up to $1000.

Best.

Same thing for all companies: collect money very fast, pay out money very close. It goes well with finance theories: collect receivables as fast as possible, and delay payables as long as possible. Lol…

maybe they should start implementing automated gates on the buses now. Wahhaa… and with a height limit barrier, so that those below 0.9m can walk in, while those above 0.9m have to tap their cards first. Then maybe those who used the wrong type of card can be crushed by the gate automatically or something like that…

Hmm… crazy…

The hottest discussion nowadays is regarding having seat belts on mini buses. Basically, to summarise, these are what parents want:

• implementing seat belts
• cheap
• good

How? There's some parents saying that school buses should be just for school and nothing else. Lol maybe that will pull up the price to double… Wahha…

And once they start talking about seat belts, the reports on bus accidents all over Singapore start pouring in. Suddenly, everyone is interested in bus crashes…

Something happened SMS server-side at 12.02am, and I have to clean up.. luckily it's not much. A few tagboard entries, a few test smses (mostly to me).

Things that have already been processed, why are they processing it again?

I checked my sms receive log (created 1 yesterday *phew*), and it was seeing up to 10 repeated calls to my receive script. What the…

Never mind, first time. I reserve my complains. Lol.

Let there be no second.

Ok, have a little break… and have a little fun!

Position #1:
GF

Scope:
To be the woman standing beside (yeah, I don't see why the phase "???????") of Lk, ever so caring and lovable.

Requirements:
– have to be at least 1.55m tall (can extend to 1.6+m with heels)
– speaks english and chinese (knowledge of other languages is a plus)
– able to do simple chores (knowledge of cooking is a plus)
– be willing to learn and try new things
– be open to ideas

To apply for the above position, please send your cover letter with a full size photograph and your resume to liang_kwang-at-hotmail-dot-com, with the subject "Application for the Position #1: GF". I regret that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. Deadline for submission is…. as long as I am single.

Hmmm… idea hor? Wahhaha!

I don't like feedback that stops abruptly. I want detailed feedback.

Without detailed feedback, I cannot find the problem. When I cannot find the problem, I will spend hours looking at the problem. And I end up finding nothing.

Details… details…

Never mind. Sleep.

Ok, I need a fast and reliable local bulk sms provider that can give me the following:

• A +65 number, that can send and receive sms, preferably via some form of HTTP (HTTPS) API.
• Receiving of sms is by keyword. Keyword to be used remains to be "HAZELCAFE".
• Post-paid, credit based account, with low start up cost.

Currently, I am still testing out a service that I have signed up for. Sometimes, it gone mad, with lots of lag. I tried sending an sms from a UK provider and the speed is like… within 1 second after I clicked send. The local one? Sometimes 5. Maybe 10. Maybe 1 minute. Sometimes never.

Duhz.
