T.G.I.F

TGIF. nope, its not friday tmr...

TGIF = Tmr Got Indian Festival!

haha... saw this on twitter this morning and found it quite cute (although it may come across as being a bit racist? but i assure you its all in good fun and there's nothing racist intended here!)

Here's wishing everyone a Happy Deepavali! Whether you truly celebrate the festival, or are just glad to have an off day :D

I'm totally clueless with dates... just last week or smthing my project mates were talking abt this wedn being a public holiday... but when i saw the stage set up for deepavali celebrations on mon, i was still wondering why they set it up so early... it was only when i saw the TGIF tweet that i realised... tmr is a holiday... -.-''' else i would probably have gotten up early and got ready to go to sch tmr, only to have someone in my family making a wise crack abt it being a public hol... (my friend still HAS biz law tut tmr tho)

Went out with my sis for lunch + dinner (yes, yet again) just now... she's quite sad that she just scraped enough marks to get promoted... speaking of which, i totally can't rem how i did in jc at all. i know my results sucked, but i was nvr worried abt not being able to get promoted, so somehow it shd be better than hers... perhaps? (my jc result scripts were strewn all over the place... i didn’t bother to file them or anything and now i don't even know where they are... at all) Well but she was making a remark abt how i shd get SIRI (too bad my iphone 3g no haf...) to organise my calendar... like how i didn’t even know when it was my bday... sending her into panic and having to resort to check her phone and facebook to make sure that she didn’t get the date wrong...

Speaking of SIRI... i heard andriod came up with IRIS... a program able to come up with smart crack answers to your weird qns just like SIRI. Its like... are you guys done yet??? Why do you have to keep copying Apple? This way you are forever following in other ppl's footsteps... hidding behind Apple's shadow... Be more creative and come up with something more... original? Like please? Ya you could probably say the same to samsung and msoft... come up with something to define ur own company, rather than something that makes ppl go 'hey, that looks great, but its just like Apple isnt it?' No matter how good ur product is, i don't think you can truly succeed if you are forever chasing behind others. Lead the chase, not chase after others... only than will you make ppl chase after ur products... that's how i see things anyway. Of cos, samsung Galaxy series of phones are great and can rival Apple in its own right, but there's no denying that they practically lifted the whole OS interface (esp the earlier models) from iOS and perfected it and claimed it their own... the similarities in design etc are just far too similar to be coincidental... Oi, be more original lah...

iPhone 4S price plans are out... quite pricey... S$498 for the $36 a month plan... haiz... not sure if my dad will get it or not...

Sighz... i'm getting old... have to pay adult price for sakae buffet now... sad :( sucks... ntu n nus students could get the youth buffet offer last time, but not anymore... ah wells...

Realised something... stupid abt photostream - you cannot delete any photo from there. You have to wait for 30 days to be up, or have over 1000 photos (and the old ones will get over written)... Quite stupid, cos idk why i took a photo of a blackscreen, and now there's a blackscreen on my photostream -.-'''

You can't force a photostream refresh too, only way is to wait, or disable and re-enable photostream... some ppl have reported problems of photostream not updating on their phone, iphoto or aperture... blah... the iCloud service sure could use some improvements...

Anyway... Here's some pics i took... went for sakae buffet at clementi earlier, and i dragged my sis to baskin and robins after that... she was really bloated but i could still fit some stuff... (in fact i still downed two sticks of ba ket teh that my mum cooked for dinner after that... ><)

(bleh, problem with the photobucket exporter on iPhoto, finally got it to work now)




WOOTS! Happiness!!!! The prof i emailed earlier replied! emailed a total of 3 profs today, 2 in the afternoon - no replies, and one at night. Really have to thank Belinda for this... she visited a prof, but was told that there are a lot of students interested in that already, and the prof kindly directed her to another project which mysteriously didn’t get any students - apparently something went wrong in the middle and that project did not get listed.... and that guy's looking for 2 students to work on the project, so Belinda very nicely told me abt it... so now i've got a meeting on thursday! YATA! 本とに嬉しいです!The only problem is that the project isnt listed, meaning that either the FYP course coordinator has to get that sorted by friday, or me n belinda will have to look for the FYP guy and ask for help... so yeah... yup, i was hoping for a wet lab project... but working with computer stuff isnt that bad lah... just not lit reviews... i'll die reading paper after paper all day long... guess its very likely that i'll do this project now...

I'm sure many of you have heard tales of auto correct being a nuisance on the iPhone (and probably saw many screenshots of it too... many of which seem way too funny to be true)... indeed, its irritating enough for me to turn it off for quite some time... in the end i turned it on again cos i make loads of typos of normal words that auto correct can actually help me with... saw two very hilarious (and irritating) auto correct 'mistakes?' today... and i swear that auto correct REALLY did these...

Deepavali =/= deep avail... -.-'''
Oi, Clementi is Clementi lah... mai anyhow change leh!

Ok... here's more pics for you to look at... look these during mol evo class last fri...

opps.. the pic is quite blur... it’s a frog... that got eaten by the snake
it’s a tortoise, yeah, i know u didn’t know that.
here's the rat... it's got a really looong tail... and it too, got eaten by the snake


ok... no more pics to upload... that's all! ah... since i'm in such a good mood right now (after securing that 1 more interview...) i'll leave ya all with a song...
