*Yawns*

Watched Resident Evil with Eddy, Wu, and Yappie. oOOo… on afternoon's notice. Heh. This choice is also based largely on trust and reliability. Same for JB trips. And other outings. All applies. It's my willingness to take the risk to travel all the way, and I know, the risk is not too high. Lol…

Some people tend to be high-risk ps-ers. Ps == pangseh == fly kite == fly aeroplane. Ps-ers are marked by me, until situation improves. Usually, the situation won't improve in the near future. Then, it will depend on how much I am willing to take risks. Heh.

Before that movie thing, I went to school at 9am, and talked to my prof until 10:30am!!! Steal some of xinli's time. Wahaha… My problem is getting more and more chim… But I will solve them! Heh. Slowly la.

Ate lunch with grace and ben. Saw another grace, and shuhui from gek class. And there's this gatsby hair-clapping stunt supporter…. Wahaha! Yeah that grace got big big eyes. Lol. And there's another girl from gek class who has big big eyes too (forgot the name. opps). And ofcourse, wensi has big big eyes…

Oh man… I think I am attracted to girls with big big eyes. Whaha!! Yeah, I have no problem looking at a girl in the eye after a long period of training. Nice nice… ooo… big big eyes… Wahahaa…. ok ok… next…

HR report discussion started at 12.30pm +++ (supposedly 12), and ended 5.45pm, and we have not finished refining it. Lol… See lor…

BK at arts for the first time. Saw Zhangkai eating with a group of friends, and I walked over to talk for a while. He reminded me of next Friday's 'big event'.. Wahaha… Yeah…

Took 30 to JP. So many people that I did not get to sleep… Aw… Tried a pair of Head tennis shorts, but found it not too fitting. Aw… Saw an Adidas tennis shirt. $59. Aw… Watched movie. 95minutes only. Aw… Took 198 to JE, but did not dare to sleep as I did not want to end up at bukit merah. Aw… Took 143 home after that. Aw…

Ok ok. Enough of aws.

OMG… I just grabbed the tiger balm muscle rub, thinking that it was my mouse! I did not connect my mouse. Wahaha!!! and I was trying to click to publish this! Lol!

JE –> JB –> JE –> NUS –> Home

Posted on 16/10/2007 by Lk

Yay… gone JB!

Met eddy at 10am, at JE. took MRT to Kranji, and changed to 170. Was in there at about 11. Ate duck and charsiew and roast meat and noodles. ooOoo…

Went to City Square… and went walking around. I bought a Nike shirt. Hmm… Bought some other food too. Was tempted to grab one large cake out, but since I had planned to go school, I decided not to buy. I have full of opportunities to buy that next time. On weekdays, 2 hours to go in and come out, is more than enough.

Went back to JE to take 183. Zzzzz till NUS! It was raining, and it's shiok! Heh… Saw many people… or… people who know who I am. Heh… Busy saying hi. Saw xinli at LT6 there, stoning around, and so, I sat there for a while to chat. Shared some yummy stuff… She said she felt nauseous… hor hor… Wahhaha!!! Nah… crap la…

Met a hungry ghost at Forum! The hungry ghost ate one of my snickers bar and some of my other yummy stuff. Stoned for a while, and went home…

It's good to stone. Heh…

In school, I can see people without meeting, but some people, I just won't see without planning beforehand. Lol…

Too bad lor.

Writing Off…

Posted on 16/10/2007 by Lk

Yeah… it's time once again… to write off all debts… as usual.

Hmm… let see… how much will be written off?

$100 – $40 = $60…

+

$30 = $90

+

$10 = $100

+ some other things that I may have forgotten = $150

For no reason… Now, everyone knows why I don't have money to buaya: I am busy writing off all the loss contingencies, all the bad debts.

But then, I have already written it off the moment it is spent anyway. For the past FOUR YEARS, it's been like this. I don't like that, but, who cares.

So be it.

I don't want to touch on this issue again.

I want to zzz…

Posted on 13/10/2007 by Lk

Yeah… want to zzz… but no. I have to get things done. Crap a bit first.

Wednesday was a super slack day! Went for GEK lecture, and then home! Wahaha! Slept on the bus back to JE. ooOoo… Too sianz to stay in school anyway. And then, went back to school again at 4pm! Lol…

Thursday was a full FYP day. Met prof in the morning. Nothing to tell him. Met Grace for lunch, and Weimin and Zhiqiang joined in too. Crap crap crap till 12. Heh. Initially planning to go swim, but then, by the time I managed to get things done, it's rather late. And so, went home to stone…

Friday was a free day. Supposedly. I was doing work at home instead of lab. Went to West Coast to collect Yellow Pages. Heh… under my name. And I can find myself in the residential listing! Wahahaa…Brought yummy tau huay home… mmmMmm… Afternoon was tennis. Quite sianz, due to the rain. But still, it's fun! Wahaha… No rain will be better though…

Saturday? Slack. Stone. Sleep.

Sunday? Slack. Stone. Sleep.

Sometimes, I think, having no one to buaya with is a good thing, as weekends, I can slack, stone, sleep. The 3 'S' …. Lol…

Ok, complain mode.

When you meet a friend, you say hi. When you are going off, you at least say bye. Right? (MSN does not have this rule. I am applying it to face-to-face meetings.)

If you don't say bye, who knows if you are going off, or you want people to follow you, or you thought people are walking your way?

And you you did say bye, and the other party did not give the feedback to acknowledge that, how will you feel? You will feel that it IS better talking to a wall.

Interpersonal relationships (IPR) do not work one way. It is a feedback system (can be negative or positive, but the desired outcome is positive, ragardless). If you have been wondering why a certain friendship doesn't seem to last long and deep, maybe, it's time to reflect on fine-tuning the feedback system.

As I said before, friends are like your mirrors. How you treat them, you can see from how they treat you (unless you are really wols), as not many people can actually reach the self-less mode of IPR. I tried, but I can't also. Wahaha…

Because people are generally selfish. Selfish, then how to be fully self-less?

It's the same for BGR. If you invest in a RS that has no progress, will you be stupid enough to keep on investing in it, for months, for years, and hoping that one day, he/she will realise it? Not everyone has the time.

Time and Tide waits for no Man. Chances come and go. Grab them, or lose them.

I think everything has to start somewhere. And so, basic greetings are important. Feedback is important. No feedback, and your system will have no control, and you will have the risk of turning into an unstable system. Feedback can cause an unstable system too, therefore, the feedback system has to be full of empathy. It must have the ability to hear (not only listen), the ability to feel (not sympathize), and the ability to cure (not fix).

So, maybe everyone has to start thinking: what type of feedback system do I have? What type of feedback do I provide my friends with? Is my feedback fine-tuned? Am I a good feedback system?

Not many people will be able to get high scores for those questions…

Ok, disclaimer: the above crapping is solely my own opinion, and the testing out of the above opinions are solely at your own IPR risk (somehow related to IP trust). Any damages or incidents arising from the testing, will be deeply regretted… Wahaha!!!!

They Just Don't Get It…

Posted on 12/10/2007 by Lk

What is the actual use of S/U grading? It is to play down the possible damages that may be incurred while taking a module that is outside of one's interests. As in, taking a module that you have absolutely no interest in, but you have to due to certain policies and requirements in place. It is to protect one's grades from further deterioration due to inability to concentrate well during SEP, with reasons like inability to adapt well to the new environment, where the actual reason is spending too much time playing around, travelling, enjoying.

To protect your ass, that is.

It sucks, so just put an end to it. Evaluating further will turn this blog entry into a 1000-word essay.

The End.

Heehee… been playing around, being a Facebook Developer. Heh…

Interesting to see… the ease of getting things done using the FBML, FQL, and the API. Interesting!

Now what can I do about these things? Hmm… LOTS… There's no limitation. Full of potential. And let's not waste this server's usage too much. Wahahaa…

HR2002 Reflection Paper

Posted on 08/10/2007 by Lk
Ermm…. I don't know what I am writing for HR here.. but here's the full text. wahahaa!!!
Self-concept is an important theory that will bridge people together. I have learnt that the self is a complicated process of gaining self awareness, which is achieved through interactions with others. Self-concept is a person’s perception of himself or herself. Positive self-concept is the preferred choice, as positive characteristics, such as being optimistic and easy-going, are able to improve interpersonal relationships.
During my secondary school days, I was forced to become a peer leader for new students. At that time, my self-esteem was quite low (perhaps due to being overweight), and I was pessimistic. In the end, I did not really interact well with the new students, let alone building a good relationship with them. Overall, I did not manage to enjoy the experience, which made me dread the weekly meetings. This became a vicious cycle of negative self-concept. Therefore, I think, in order to really enjoy carrying out a particular activity, positive self-concept is very important.
I believe that the self is always changing. I was brought up by my parents with a few beliefs. I was more of a conservative person, most probably through role-taking, as suggested by G.H. Mead, and probably because I am the only child. As I grew older, these beliefs were evolved, adding and strengthening some principles and abandoning others. I became more open to others due to the various interactions with my surroundings, such as school, teachers, and friends. Therefore, I believe that, how we change over time affects our overall behavior, which in turn affects our interpersonal relationships.
In school, friends are like my mirrors. From interaction with them, I am able to establish a self-concept. Usually, as Goffman’s concept of self presentation suggests, I present selected information about myself to others – the public self. As trust builds up, self-disclosure becomes easier, and the hidden self and blind self can have the possibility of becoming public. The higher the amount of trust, the more a person will be willing to disclose.
Trust is the willingness to undertake some form of risk in believing that a particular party will carry out a task that he or she has agreed to work on. However, usually, when the trust has been betrayed once, it will be difficult to build it up all over again. This can be seen clearly in the tutorial exercise on horse racing, whereby no one really trusts a group that has already broken the trust earlier.
We tend to change our behaviors while undertaking different roles. We change our behaviors according to what we think are appropriate for a particular role. This is important as conflicts can be avoided where unnecessary. However, when a conflict arises, our first reaction will often be anger, and we will tend to put the blame on anything else except ourselves. This can be seen as a form of self-defense.
Also, when we are forced to believe in something, we tend to find reasons to support them, regardless of the appropriateness of the beliefs. This is seen in the tutorial exercise about the girl and the sailor, where different groups are pre-assigned to support a particular character in the case study. Therefore, we have to be as objective as possible by considering all possibilities when making such decisions.
In real life, being assertive (saying out how I think and feel in a respectful manner) requires much practice. I myself tend to be more of a person that gives passive responses. I remembered during my vacation internship at I2R, when my supervisor complimented me on a job well done, but what I did was to smile back.
When something negative has been said (usually when the other party is very blunt at saying things), my response will tend to be aggressive as I engage in self-defense mode. Therefore, I think that, being able to put negative remarks across in a less offensive manner is very important too. Also, during my GEK1006 tutorial class, we realized through a hands-on exercise that the usage of ‘maybe’ in our thoughts can be used to bring down the aggressiveness.
In conclusion, by understanding and accepting that each and every one of us is unique in one way or another, we are able to enhance our interpersonal relationships, improve our behaviors, and boost our performances. However, it is not always easy to do things the desired way. Therefore, experience in human relations is important.

I think I must have forgotten how to write essays… Wahhaa… zzz lor..
