Curiosity Landed Safely on Mars!
Yes, this is late news i know, but i think its of enough importance that i should post here.
I actually by some miracle (actually, it was twitter who alerted me to the landing time) followed the rover landing through the NASA live webcast and saw the tiny pictures that got mailed back through odyssey.
There's actually truckloads of information regarding the MSL (Mars Science Laboratory) on the NASA webpage.
This is the one of the 1st pic taken by the rover. (All pictures are credit of NASA/JPL-Caltech)
Here's another, can see the shadow of the rover here
There's a ton of video and other stuff to read on the NASA webpage, do take a look. A whole bunch of videos available on youtube too...

Kitaro...
Bleh… after listening to kitaro's matsuri… that tune is now stuck in my head. it’s a really nice tune… one that i've heard since young… really like it a lot… but the stupid disk is missing from its CD :S been listening to it the whole afternoon already… very nice… but the base isn't that strong/obvious from the video… that and the standard iPhone issue earphones aren't probably the best thing to use for listening to such tunes...
A CD case with no disk yay. My dad should have took the disk to listen in the car… only that he took everything out from his car sometime back before sending it for repair… and now he's got no idea where all the stuff are… if this disk isn't with the rest of the CDs front eh car though… than i really have no idea where it can be :S i already dug out and checked all the disks the the TV cabinet yesterday… don't know of any other CD dump in the house already… :S
making do with this for now till i find the disk… sighs...

lol..and it drags on
wanted to make on post on mon abt the mooncake festival, but got tired and didn’t finish my post... and now its wedn!
haven celebrated mooncake festival since we shifted house when i was ine like pri 5. last time i used to go through TONS of candles, like 10-20 packs still aren't enough during mooncake festival. all i do the whole night is light and set up the candles on rocks in the park in front of my old house. contributing to environmental pollution yeah... but of cos i didn’t know better than.
having a cool class on pheromones now. the module is supposed to be on clinical applications of omics... but the guest lecturer seems to have gone a bit off track with all the talk abt pheromones and insect behaviour... but im really enjoying the lect anyway, who cares if its off topic? wonder what our lecturer who's sitting right in front of me right now thinks abt it tho... is it thinking abt how it's kinda going off track too or? idk... but i do like the topic.
she showed us this cool video earlier on the bolas spider. COOL. didn’t think of looking for these kind of videos on youtube. it’s the same guy who narrated in all the plant videos that i've seen in class in like sec, jc, and uni... didn’t know he did other documentaries too... all the stuff he did is really interesting/cool IMO. pardon my severe lack of vocab....
i hate it when the video adding and photo adding keeps malfunctioning in firefox! forces me to open up the site in chrome just to add the photo/vid! zzzzzzzz
didn’t really celebrate my dad's bday last fri, tho we had a nice family day together. my dad took leave and he fetched me to sch, and cos my class on fri ends before lunch, he fetch me and we went to orchard where my sis had been having a sept hol 1 week math crash course... had lunch at hot tomato at somerset 313. good food, and at a great price too. the sirlion steak was super good, very jucy. we asked for it cooked medium rare and we GOT medium rare. many of the restaurants give u like medium well or smthing when you ask for medium rare -.-''' like hey dude, why bother asking when you're gonna over cook it anyway -.-'''. the last time i had nice medium rare beef outside was at some restaurant in vivo city really long ago. can't rem the name of the shop already... but the beef was very juicy too. i ordered whipped potatoe side (i think you can pick like rice also) to go with it and the combi was just great... you can use the whip potatoe to mop up the juice that's oozing out from the beef.
gave my dad the pen me n my sis got from bugis after dinner... he likes the color... which is good. he got all excited and brought out the pens he bought over the years... and we had fun writing with the pens. after a while it turned onto a 'guess the tradition chinese character' game... like my dad n mum would write some traditional chineses character and than become absolutely amazed when me or my sis (actually most of the time its my sis, i don't watch as much taiwanese programs/read taiwan stuff as much as her, and my chinese has always been poorer than her, plus i got slow reaction) knows the word. some words are actually quite natural to me, probably cos i've been watching too much japanese stuff (and i completely don't read the chinese newspapers or anything else in chinese). like i'd recognise the word in trad chinese straight away, w/o realising that its actually NOT the simplified chinese... like some words i erm.. forgot what it looks like in simplified chinese even. bravo... >< haiz.
dad got an ipad loan from his sch cos they wanted him to develop some method to use the device for teaching... will be an experimental thing next sem but man... the sch sure is stingy. they'll only get to use the device for 1 month, after which the same few devices will be taken from the lecturers and put in the classrooms for the students to use. so when they are teaching, they wont have an ipad to show the students with. o.o. than 3-4 students will have to share 1 cos the sch bought very few of the devices... very stingy even for a trial teaching method. still, i had to spend a few days teaching my dad how to use stuff like the app store, how to check his mail etc... setting up some apps... how to sync with itunes etc... yeah... was quite lengthy and he always manages to ask qns which i nvr cross my mind when i used my itoy... his way of thinking is just quite diff from mine at time.
oh... i went daiso the other day and managed to find a sleek looking and slim ALUMINUM casing mechanical pencil. immediately grabbed two of it to use as casing to make my idevice stylus... been searching for writing utensils with metal casing in popular (in various locations) for quite a long time to no avail. they all come in plastic these days... totally didn’t expect to find it in Daiso... (^.^)V
here's the finished product...
Opps. Wanted to post this on wedn, but didn't have the pic. Now I'm posting it with the pic from the iPhone blogger app...

Random stuff
Last few days of slack... before sch starts. the time time still aint out yet... and i still don't know which elective i'm taking... gah...
presidential electives date set for the 27th aug. i still barely know a single thing abt the candidates -.-''' man i don't even know how many have submitted the forms so far... gah... guess i've got some reading up to do before i head to the polls.
recently there's a couple of english songs i'm kinda addicted to. considering how i've been listening to arashi songs (japanese) for the longest time... its been a really long time since i last added any new englis songs to my list. well there was grenade by bruno mars a while back, but recently Airplanes by B.o.B. and price tag by Jessie J really caught my attention. came across airplanes when i went shopping with my family in msia (yes the one with the roast duck and all i blogged abt a while back)... finally got round to downloading the song a while back and been listening to it a lot since than. i normally try and caught a few phrases/sentences of the song, write it down in my phone, than go find the song when i remember later on...
well i don't think the PV is really nice... doesn’t really get me into the mood of the song... but well that's the nice thing abt western world VS JE... they happily post their official PVs on youtube for everyone to watch, share, and spread... whereas JE takes down videos from youtube as soon as they can find them :(
i heard price tag when my sis showed me a cute arashi fan vid... found the song addicting and when to dl it. the fanvid is really good tho (except the poor quality i'd prefer it not to be in b/w)... as in, the scenes fitted nicely with the song lyrics, and made the whole song look and sound fun... fits the mood of the song really well IMO. so yeah... here's the vid that i really liked. the best part is probably the 'everybody look to the left/right' part... really amusing lol.
yesterday i went on a crazy rampage of dl-ing high quality arashi song PVs and music station performances. maybe i'm spoiled by JE's type of PVs... maybe cos i've been a fan of arashi for a while... didn’t really like many of the US made PVs... grenade pv was really quite... meaning less to me... the storyline was really weird and it just didn’t... entice me to listen to the song. maybe its just a total different mindset... like from my friends who prefer western pop to me who erm... prefer arashi songs (i wont even say jpop, since i pretty much only listen to arashi songs... for now). its like after watching those PVs i wish i'd just listen to the song on its own, w/o ever looking for its PV. meh... but since i generally don't like those PVs, i didn’t watch many of them so maybe it just so happened that i'm unlucky...?
meh... i wonder wat my friends (i've got some to absolutely love musicals, glee etc) would think if they see arashi's PVs... some of the dance (they didn’t dance in all PVs, depends on the song etc...), outfits, and settings are just so darn freaking cool. truth and monster is cool, troublemaker had a cute and fun PV... very much like the song's title... now i'm in love with mada minu sekai e dance in music station. they jumped around a lot and yes they sang live. maybe i shd try n get my friends into arashi... than at least i wont feel so left out when they discuss on and on abt all the western music scene...
heh. nothing else to say... or rather, too many things to say, but not sure how to put it out in words. that's all for now.
