Driving trilogy

My third lesson on sunday is a shiok experience!
Heh I get to drive outside the circuit and experience changing gears to third and forth! Yeah! Feel so shiok, thatz why!

My instructor was sleeping through out...lol. His last words, " Joo, ok ah, good luck!"

Hah I went overtaking other learnies... cos I was in a need for speed.
Alright here's my weakness: I'm afraid to inch in... T___T

And I think that makes a good reason when your bumper was hit by 'my' car...

Good day,
Joo

So far, views from ladies are... the top of the drawing seems nice and revealing.
Maybe the left arm I didn't depict the angle correct...

Ammendments will be made to replace this pic soon.

Thinking of becoming a fashion illustrator...
and a manga artist....

joo

New drawing

New drawing..., thanks to critics from jun san no tomodachi ne, most ammendments had been made for this draft. No time to get it inked or colored so I might leave it as its best in draft form.

Now for the scrutinising part---critics from you ppl.

Driving days

Life travelling via train had become part of my life since schooling at NTU.
I'm determined to make a change haha very much after I had began to learn driving. As far as it seems now, my instructor feels that I could drive and tomorrow will be my third lesson... and onto the main road we go!

Woot! So much fun driving, but I can't imagine myself to turn out into a chauffeur afterall. Well, even so the realisation of my ownership of a car should come in 3 to 5 years time, provided I had NO commitment in any relationship haha...(so I'm bound to be single?)

Nah, I wanted to learn how to live with someone who I loved. Some said it's all due how both can come to compromise and some feel that it all depends on one of the party to give way. Either way, it seems more like the road of life to learn how to live with our loved ones.

Convocation day

It started 6am waking up in the morning to prepare to go to NTU early for breakfast with my parent. Upon reaching my ex-school, I realised some upgrades in the canteen.

We managed to report to the Auditorium by 9, and realised that I have to register my seat number at the counter. Things just began to get twisted here.
I realised my name is not in the list of "Bacheor of Engineering" (what the hell!),
I didn't panick and thought it might be that I'm looking into the wrong school... School of Electrical Electronics Engineering! And not a single sign of my name was written in the little booklet of name list. I thought some cruel joke that the God had played on me on my day of convocation.

I re-assured by asking my friend how they check their seating number, and found the unbelievable more unbelievable...MY GREAT NAME IS NOT IN THE LIST!! How can that be possible and only happened to me? Panick struck me as though a lightning had striked me. I dragged my steps to the registration counter hoping that all is just a dream and it might be some typo mistakes they had made...

After I told the man at the counter about the disappearance of my name from the list (which I checked the night before) he calmly turned to the first few pages where before the list of names began... and EURREKA! My name was spotted under a book prize award. Much to my relief, I entered the ceremony.

Saw my colleague and realised he was in the same course as me! Took photo.
After a hour lasting ceremony, we proceeded to the 'party' area. The MC spoke in a soft, clear, out of breath way, but when it comes to YUM SENG she did all the work. The ground was not in rapport at all, kind of out of place I would say.

Met my friend Wenyao and a Dota pal! Took photo!
Met Weide Took photo!
Met he and his gf Took photo!
Met a lovely girl Fiona Took photo!
Met my fyp partner Chester and his sis Took photo!
Met my lab partner Kailing Took photo!
Met Lingjun and Siying and Guoming Took photo!
Met Peizhen and Peishan Took photo
Met Lunner and SeeYeh and JianQiang Took photo!!
Met Prof Chen and ..eh.. a female lecturer Took photo!

haha fun and happy day,
joo

Convocation eve

Tomorrow is the big day, or so called. It's my convocation as well as those friends who I met along my university days. It's a big "Well Done!" for all of us.

Some are taken by surprised that I'm attending my convocation tomorrow, well some sent me their congratulations to me. Overall, I'm delighted. But not overwhelmingly delighted...

I had my goals to reach, I can feel that. But at the same time I have goals which I couldn't even began with, it filled me with sorrowness.
Well, what I know is I'd better find an intelligent girl beside me, to care and support me. Of course I would do the same for her. Haha, but where is that lady of my hope? I'll let fate decide.

joo

Hair cut

Yeah~ I forgot to mention about my haircut last friday.
I went up to my hairdresser and told her to give me a simple and easy to manage hair style and short one. So all my fringes were gone, and I seen a new me!
Haha maybe more evil look than ever... but NO! I'm just a good boy :D

At work, people asked me why I get a short hair cut, I replied simply that I don't need to comb my hair lol.

Joo.

Driving lesson #1

After such long wait, I've finally attended my first driving lesson in SSDC (yio chu kang). My sister and brother had already gotten their license except me. Being the odd one out, and finally "financially capable" to self sustain myself for the fees, I decided to finish it (after passing my basic and advance theory tests).

It turned out that my first lesson was a breeze. My instructor was talking 'cok' with me through out while I was driving and maybe having a few glances at some girls whom look nice :D Of course, my instructor was whining about why he didn't get the girls instead haha.

Definitely I'd made some mistakes, but overall was relaxing and enjoyable. Next week will have more to learn. It seems that everyday I'm learning something, and I feel occupied. Good feeling.

joo.

Things look good today

Setting up a small home network had always been a "dream" for me. How I wish it comes true since the time I first wished for it, and today this tiny dream of mine had been realised.

Well, actually I'm not very IT- proficient. Since I'd been working for the last two months in my company now, things had changed. I get to expose myself more to the IT side of the working world, though I am not an IT engineer. Well, takes a while to explain my job scope but I'm not going to do it here.

It's about a good nice day today that I had spent half of my day on setting up the network and troubleshoot a problem which my "pro-IT friend" cannot solve for me.
Geez, so any of you wanted to give that a try?
Two computers which couldn't ping each other, and yet internet connection is established between the two. What went wrong? File and printer sharing are not available. And all settings and IPs are set as proper as you may defined.

Well, the problem was solved. I will leave the answer open for all. Now why do I wish for something that 'simple' so much. For it's the main cause of problems--my dear sister, she'd always been "taking over" my pc when I needed to do my work or listen to my music most. Kind of irritating, you got me?

Okay, since the roots of this problem had been removed, I supposed there will be peace in my room once again, and I will live happily ever after again.

joo.

Dream aka 夢 aka 梦想

It comes to my attention today that I might be too busy to realise my dream such that I might forget to enjoy my life.

On the other hand, great satisfaction often comes from great sacrifice first.

Thought too much I think,
joo.

Online

Sometimes I thought having msn is good when I logged in and could see those who I like online. But it's usually the other way round, I saw those which I don't like online. lol . So why are they in my list?
It's actually more like a class list, yet there is zero communication. Adding people to create a worthless communication port is a wastage in communication linkage. This certainly seems to be the case.

My Msn usuage had now become for only two useful purposes.
First, is to keep contact with my old friends (old as in we knew each other for quite some time).
Second, when people (not my friends yet DOTA crazy people) jio me for a LAN game.
And lastly, giving songs out as and when I like when anyone loves the song as much as I do.

Maybe it's time I make use of the invisible capability of Msn Service, having christians in my list made me unable to create certain nicks ~___~ , I was afraid to offend them. However, if I should offend them, I am not afraid to confront them.

I have an engineer forte to begin with, that is to solve problems.
Sometimes I'm surprised by my own tolerance level and adaptability.

One day, the volcano is bound to explode... I wonder when.
the volcano,
zhaoru.

Let No One found me!

I'm feeling tired working over human relationship.
It's true I have an 'unfriendly' face, that's why I hope by communicating, people will become friends with me. But certainly, this had tired me out.
I feel frail at the attempt of doing so.
Thus, after consideration, I will stop doing so from now on.
It's not worth my time at all.

I'm going to change my mentality.
The World is selfish bastard. I'm becoming just one of them.
zhaoru.

Creative U or not?

Most people believe that the right brain controls our creative thinking while the left side controls our logical thinking. And seldom we have people balance at both realms of thoughts and usually we have people with a stronger side.

It may sound logical that if there's an answer, there would be a question. And would there be a question without an answer? So it all depends on how you want the answer to be -- creativity.

But what I believe is somehow similar yet unspoken of. I think Creative is part of logic. And logic could might as well be a subset of creativity.
Here's why: A computer simply understanding logical bits of 1 or 0 could produce artistic features which one could ever think of, it shows how a 'creative' person creates his creative works in a computer---logical, systematic method.

Just like you don't draw a picture without a sketch or skeletal drawing. It's a method of how you get things done. Some people refers these methods as creativity too. It sometimes depends on perceptive views of people. Something which cannot be logically described as creative. There came to the well known abstract art to the world.

You may perceived what I'm trying to say here as rubbish and say to your friend, "Hey this guy is trying to be creative by writing this~" or if your views on being creative is shakened a bit after reading this, you could say this to your friend instead, "Hey I think this guy is quite logical."

My word of wisdom is use both sides of your brain, don't be lazy.
joo.

A little sign of intelligence

I thought I was going to need a week to read, find out about the protocol given to me. I was going to deal with it myself, alone and difficulties are very much expected. With 7 days given, I worried over the weekend and could not stop thinking how I could tackle this problem.

My headache came, and monday is the start of the seven days left. Sitting alone at my staging area, with two laptops, I trialed out with several test and reference to my document on the protocol. Eventually I began to understand the logic behind it and was able to verify with the signal responses. Cool!
Though I'm not yet a master, but I feel the strength and confidence to move on!

And yes! There came the second project! The beginning of the end of the first shall mark my footsteps towards my target... my life.

one step at a time,
joo.

Danger!

For the first time in my life, listening to my mp3 player on a volume of 16, after work on the way walking back to home... ...

I crossed a road when the traffic lights at the junction not showing the green man sign. I realised that only when I walked about 1.5 lanes out and an oncoming vehicle horned me which hardly could be heard.
Probably if he didn't slow down I would have a ride to wonderland.
I backed off from the 2nd lane to let the vehicle pass, walking backwards, another vehicle at the 1st lane met me too. I could see the grin in the faces of the drivers and the shocked faces behind me.

Surprisingly, I didn't panick that my life is at the edge of a knife. I safely walked backwards back to the traffic lights and managed to keep myself from being a further menace to the traffic... ...

One thing that lingers in my thoughts, what came to me during that time remains a mystery for myself. So the moral of the story is meant for all that loves music and spends most of their time on ear or head phones. And of course when fatigue sets in after work, it's kind of playing with fire.

unforgivable act,
joo
