Today, i had my NUS medical check-up. I met some engineering ppl there and made friend, since i won't have that much time once lessons start. I tried to come back to ny by 2, so that i can help some of my juniors in their physics, but i couldn't:( The queues were quite long. There were queues to get registered, for height & weight thing, x-ray, consultation with the doctor, to check blood pressure, and so on. k la... i should have gone there earlier, like i advised my firiend, who'll be going tmr (fri). Here are some of the numbers that i remember: My height: 178 cm (it's 180, if i have my shoe on:P ) My weight: 63.5kg( Well, not too heavy, for a guy). My heart beat: 61 per minute (haha... i tried to control it as much as i can by relaxing, but ya.. it's a very healthy number. My target is for it to go below 60).

i want to blog, but i dun have time:( i need to slp soon; got medical check up tmr:(

error

listen to this...
i just compiled a c++ code that i wrote on exception handling. It only has 25 lines and guess how many errors came up: 26.


guess the last error that came up:
"... Too many error or warning messages". super legend... really looks like one of friends' type of jokes... haha...

the end

My c-language course is going to end;there's only one more lesson left. I'm so glad:)
My ogl called me up yesterday and we had a pretty interesting conversation. We are going to have a pre-camp og meeting on 1st july!! so exiting, right? and to add to that, we can stay overnight too...
now for other stuff:

Running updates: I'm going to stop doing 10km, for the time being. I'm going to work on my 2.4, to make myself more used to higher speeds. I'll do a 2.4km below 10min before going on to continue on my 10km runs.

Just went for a 10km run... The ny ppl will be having their mid yrs tommorrow. Good Luck to you all!:) I'll see if i have time to come in to help you all for your prelims and A-levels :) :D

I'll be going for the NUS Union Camp.think it's on the 2nd week of july. Wah, time flies so fast...

I ran a 10km today. I had to stop and walk the last ~1km, since i was quite dehydrated-my mouth was quite dry and i started having headaches... But i'm okay now:)

just a randow thought: It'ld be really useful and neat if frienster starts to enable its users to organise thier friends into groups...

wah.. today's evening nyjc session was super packed... still working on some questions... have to do my c-language homework as well:(

I went down to ny on tue, wed & fri... My leg, surprisingly, still has not recovered from the run on sunday(ithink)... I planned to run a 2.4km in school today, but didn't have the time:( Guess i'll have to try run tmr, since i'll not be going for my c-lang lesson. omg, i've been going for my c-lang lesson everyday of this week so far...super exhausting, esp when i'm asked to come up with programs on the spot. I've also been trying to meet up with my old secondary school friend, but that'll be on next week, i think.
i just want to see if i can still do a 2.4 within 10min... And also, my pull-up standard has seriously gone down: i now can only do 3 at a go, have to improve.Also, i managed to differentiate(calculus) expression that i've been trying to differentiate for quite a long time. i'll post the picture later. yup, i guess that's all for now.

i was there to solve problems,
not create them;
maybe i've misunderstood.

it's too late to blog... i'm going to sleep... ZZZZZZZzzZzZzZ

17th june:)

Superb 10km run. There were not anyone on the pavements along my path for me to pace with this time, but my timing was better and i felt that i was running faster too. haha... but i didn't make it below 1h-though i tried to. My timing was 1h and 03 mins, for the 10km. Well, if you just minus off the time wasted away in those traffic lights, it would be 1 hour;but those were really valuable breaks, where i got to catch my breath and stretch. One of the things that surprised me was that there was practically no one at bishan park! Usually it would be filled with people playing soccer, running, cycling, picnicking, exercising, watching the dogs' race and so on... but this time, i only came across abt 7 people, scattered around the 2 bishan parks. Maybe it's because there were those dark clouds, but i somehow knew that it would not rain, and it didn't :). No rain, No sun, But got wind: perfect for running=)

Today's weather is very fine for running - i'm going to try to do a 10km below 1h... Have to hydrate myself first:)

sdfsdflsdkg

wah... still super busy... a lot of house work n stuff... but here are the good news:
1. MY c-lang course is going to over in abt 3 weeks!!! =)
2.I'll be starting my driving practical lessons soon:) can't wait to get my hands on that steering wheel;)
3. My student pass stuff are going to be pretty much settled after today, NUS'll take care of it, after i submit the form:)
that's abt all for now...

Yesterday was another super-tiring day. I had programming lesson in the morning. Then, i came back home to help my mom do some cooking, after which i went to nyjc. There were a lot of 29th there!!! They really filled one whole classroom, i was quite surprised at the turnout. Well, this time, i didn't face any difficult chem questions... haha...I can handle most of the maths and physics one, but only abt 60% of the chem questions. But my summary notes(which i dug up) seem to help me a lot.
Also, this morning, i realised that i've fully recovered from the 10km run last saturday. So, that's about 3.5 days... I should have another run, when i'm free. Tmr, i'll be going to NUS, to enquire about my student pass procedures, after which i'll need to do some driving lesson stuffs. After which (hopefully i've time...) i'll visit nyjc.
YaY!! For the first time in a few months i'll be going to NUS on a weekday!!! Which means that the canteens will be OPEN!!!:):):D

11th june-Tiring day...

What a tiring day.... Today i woke up at 7am, and till now, i've been packed with stuff to do. Laundry, room-cleaning, sweeping and mopping, cooking, doing the dishes... And i had to bring my mom for her sgh appt in the afternoon.Although it was super cheap, the waiting times were quite long.I've pushed today's comp lesson to tmr and i'll be going to nyjc after that=)

good run

I had quite a good run yesterday-I went down, and saw a group of dark clouds over me. So, i had to get it done quick. There was this army person just passing me and i decided to keep to his pace. Well, his pace was a bit too fast and as i was approaching the u-turn mark near upp. thomson road, i noticed that my throat-the part of it that is just above the bottom of my neck was feeling super hot inside. Well, i had this before, when i was trying a 2.4 km at ny. I didn't care too much about it and went on to finish my run. After some thinking, i'm now thinking that it may be becouse of eating too much spicy stuff at my lunch, 3hrs before that run. My timing was 1h13mins56secs. Very bad. I've now realised that my leg's stamina gets worse if i don't keep on running...

I've been quite busy this week- Have been having consultation with my NY Juniors:) wah... 230pm to abt 7 on wednesday and 215 to 10pm on friday.. But it's very fun helping them:)
My C-lang course just started on c++; which means that i'm half way through! I'm going off for a 10km run now.

okay, today, i passed my basic thoery test(driving) and my advanced final theory trial test. So, i booked for my final theory test:) Just finished my c-language homework: fibonacci series in a recursive loop:

#include
main()
{int fibo(int n);
int fib, n;
clrscr();
printf("\n\nFibonacci Series:");
printf("\nEnter the number of term to show");
scanf("%d", &n);
fib=fibo(n);
printf("The number is %d", fib);
getch();
return(0);}
int fibo(int n)
{if(n==1n==2)
{return(1);}
else{return fibo(n-1)+fibo(n-2);}}

It's such a weird hour to blog... i slept in the evening...

Day 1 part 2

There was this Narita express which brought us from the airport to a place called Shinjuku. The train was quite fast at times, making its way through both farms and commertial areas. Then, we had to get another ticket and transfer to a local train. We looked quite lost at the train stations and we had to approach the counter staff everytime we wanted to buy tickets.
At last, we managed to reach our own train station, together with all our luggages(which were miraculously squeezed in to the packed trains).After reaching, we had to make our way to the hotel.

Well, we asked the station staff, who kindly pointed in a particular direction (language barrier;so that's like the best he could do for us). After walking for some time, we got lost and my mom asked this lady who was walking in a hurry to the station. What impressed ma was that although she was in such a hurry, she willingly stopped and gave us directions! So, we got to the hotel, eventually. Most of us were quite tired from all the travelling.
Then, we spent about 5 minutes trying to draw diagrams of rooms(and stick men) in order to enquire more, although we'd already booked our rooms. Well, the rest of the day was simply spent in the room, bathing, brushing our teeth, having our meal and resting. Finally, at about 7, we went out to look around the neighbourhood of the hotel.
It is then i came to realise that it's really hard to live in that area, if you don't know japanese.
Now for pictures!

Me standing along our room's corridor.


Me on my cosy bed. I wish i can sleep on it everyday:)
Cold air comes in from the window and warm air from the aircon(at night).


View of a street from the hotel room. note that they have these zebra linings when there's traffic light.Oh ya... and a lot of them travel around in bicycles. It's really a lot of them.

Radio and switch controls near the bed.

Thank God; The numbers are not in Japanese:)

Japan Trip: Day 1, part 1

First day... We went to Changi Airport, after miraculously managing to finish our packing up. Once we reached, we met up with the others and did our check-in. I had to check my our luggage, to see if my mom was trying to sneak in any liquids, gels or blah, blah blah.. Well, it wasn't long before i manages to spot peanut butter bottle and moisturisers. We had to check in those which could carry more than 100ml. Well, rather than this 'liquidy' restriction, which is now practiced in many international airports, i think it's better to check every single 'liquidy' stuff that is not checked in . It should cost around the same, since there'll be no need to distribute free zip-lock bags and hire staff to do that.

Then, after boarding, i was quite disappointed that our plane doesn't have that personal entertainment system that i got to enjoy on my New Zealand trip (On Singapore Airlines), back when i was in Secondary 4. Till this day, it has been the best 'flying' experience that I've ever had!! They even had ice cream on board, together with tasty cheese biscuits to go with the latest movies, albums, games, MATH questions to solve... Seriously, i can't ask for more... Although i really enjoyed my time New Zealand, i do agree with a lot of my travel mates who commented that the SIA Boeing aircraft offered the best staying experience in the entire journey.

Well, back to my japan trip: All i have to say is that i pretty much enjoyed their radio channels, which the airlines i traveled to India in didn't offer. Well, after about 2 hrs, we landed in Bangkok.

I remember studying about some airport in Thailand and the competition it poses to the Changi Airport, but this time, i got to see for myself how good it was. It was really big with wonderful architechture, a lot of shops and so on. Well, in the 2 hrs that we had in the transit, we spent about an hour just strolling to our depature place, taking photos along that way and so on... here are some: There were a lot of people taking photo at this spot...

Then, after a longer trip (about 6hrs) and some problems on the meals we ordered( cos our travels agency didn't do their job well) we arrived at the tokyo airport. As ususal, there was this long immigration queue to get through. Collecting our baggage was okay, the trolleys were not really available nearby, but the toilets were nice, though.

Next, we decided to take a train to our destination( we had a choice of limousine bus too), since we felt that it was a must to experience those speedy trains in japan.

---To be continued

I came back from Japan yesterday night, and slept till 3p.m today, since i didn't get much sleep there, and also since i had to rush to SGH after coming here yesterday night.My mom had a minor wrist fracture in Japan...But apart from that, it was a very nice trip, the four days there. I shall describe the trip in detail later. Now i have several things to attend to : My C-lang lesson tmr, Driving test n voluntary duties, unpacking, organising...

I'll be taking off this evening to Japan, but i still have quite a lot of packing to do:(

After cheking the relavant website, i found out that the aeroplanes that i'll be taking probably won't have the in-flight entertainment system. So, i'll have to entertain myself for the 10 x 2 hours:(

About 3 days ago, i saw a lot of smoke coming out from a house nearby, so, here::

Okay, i've quite a lot of pictures to post, and i'll have to post them later on, when i come back from Japan.

I can't believe it!! It has been one whole year since i stepped down from council!!! Really, it seems like i've stepped down a month or two ago...
I can still remember the feeling of that blazer and white shirt, on me...
Well, Let's just hope that the side gate will be open tomorrow:)

Today was a quite a nice day...
To start with, yesterday night, i got bored of my bed and decided to sleep on the floor. Yup, it was quite a different experiance and i had a very good sleep.The only thing was that i couldn't really turn around, since the space was only like a meter wide:( But still, i may try it again, maybe next week...
later on, i went to nyjc to collect my SGC and CCA Records(Thanks to my friend who reminded me:)) Then, came the shiok part: Initially, i was called by my friend to help him in math olympiad trining, but when i went there, there were like 3 of them!!Whoa.. luckily it was not really a question-asking session... It was more like i told them (nearly all) the stuff the stuff that i know,. that would be of help to them in SMO. Word hard guys!! Several more days ahead!!
Well, i was just thinking that it is rare to see people spending so much time for SMO training. Hope they bring back something, for this is their last chance to participate.(They'll be too old next year, i think).

i've a new external harddrive!!!
100GB, should be quite useful for the coming 4yrs at NUS...
So, here are the results of my experiments on it:

EXPT1(through the port near CD-drive):
time it took to trasfer 6.99GB worth of files: 10mins 2 secs
so,
Average time it takes to transfer 1 GB: 85.7 Secs
Average speed:11.6MB/sec
Time it took to delete this data:~5 Secs

Yup; it's certainly good that blogger automatically saves it's posts, just like in gmail, where the mail gets saves autometically once in a while:

This autosave feature means that you have a safety net for the cases when you're
working on a new post and the power goes out, or your browser crashes, or some
other calamity occurs.

Today was nyjc's college day, and i got my 4-distinction award! But i had to rush down to NUS for the ECE @ NUS orientation. So, i'll have to collect my sgc on monday.
And i finally met up with my classmates!!yay!haha.. Although only some. I guess i'll have to start the engineering journey in NUS alone, since the guys are like 3 or 4 yrs older than me, and no one's from nyjc:( But will have some ny ppl joining NUS this yr, and i'll have to really make a lot of friends during orientation, like i did in nyjc's Zion. Woah..that seems like so long ago o.0

i getting more and more stressed now leh, my C-lang getting more complicated. It's like although the computer recognises some of ur mistakes, there are some that it doesn't recognise
:( And i'm really having a hard trying trying to figure those out.

:)

Wah...i think i need to buck up already.. I realise that i've been slacking more and more during these days. I realise that the more i slack, the more tired and sleepy i become. i really won't be ready for my uni studies with this kind of mindset. I've to start warming up already...

I went running today... the usual Bishan park route. 10Km long. Just about 4 mins after i started out, it started raining and so, i had to take shelter in below a flyover on the way. I was later joined by a few motorists. We waited for about 40mins for the rain to subside. And i continued my journey to the end of Bishan Park.
At the end, i decided to drop by a forest trail that i noticed when i went cycling a few days ago. It was very scenic and calming. Try it!! There is this part where the trail curves along the end of the lower pierce reservoir. It just felt like i was walking on water! But i think this only happens just after rain...
Overall, i had a good time despite the rain. But my timing was quite bad-1h06mins:( But i guess it's okay for someone who hasn't been running for the past 5 months.

okay... i shall blog later, i think there's something wrong with my comp. :(

Hi everyone...
I've just got myself a long-term social visit pass till 24th August. So, that's one big thing off my mind. The process of getting the student pass should be smooth in the first week of august:)

Heard that nyband & CO got Gold for SYF this yr Congrats!! :)

And i had to do another driving trial test today, so that i can take my basic theory test when i come back from Japan. The Japan trip is pretty much confirmed now: I'll be departing on 26th may and i'll be back at Singapore on 30th May. Yup. that's the plan for now.

And here's a song that i heard on the radio, it's quite soothing to hear:

My blogging frequency has decreased of late.... haha,
It's just that life now is quite normal la, boring. Well, what can i say here...
My mom promised to get me a laptop if i get into EE course in NUS. Now that i got in, it's time to redeem the offer:)
I can only apply for student's pass on august, so i'll have to keep on extending my social visit pass till then:(
I went down to get my NYAA bronze award today-I was thinking that it'ld be a mini-council reunion, but turned out to be a council=>mini-solico reunion...;) The certs will be sent to our college, but we've got the badges now. I'm thinking of doing the silver NYAA in NUS, but it'll look very weird if i'm the only one from a UNI getting silver, standing among those kids. I'll have to process the thought first....

I just got an offer from NUS for their electrical engineering UG course:) And i just accepted it:)

I shall just update on the main events-I went for USP interview on saturday, Harris'ld have had his turn today. Well, it was quite relaxed, i didn't experience any inconvinience even though i'd forgotten to bring my interview letter. I shall keep my fingers crossed(X) till the results arrive.

Next, i really really hope i can remember to attend the NYAA prize presentation ceremony this coming tuesday. I was just thinking of asking ms chiew or mr tonny lim, "What happened to our nyaa??", when i received the sms:)

Third, my mom and i are planning to visit Japan. Here's the rough plan: We'll be off on 23rd afternoon and arrive in Kansai international aitport, stay at Kobe for 24th and 25th, get ourselves to Tokyo, stay there for a few more days and come back.

Lastly, my retainer; Well, let's just say that i've been devoting myself to it more than i ever felt like: Every night, and of course i wake up with all of my poor teeth aching:( Hold on to your gums!! It's only going to be for about four months!!:(

NYJC's 30th anniversary celebrations were great. They've spent a lot of money, at the carnival, the food, the transport(shuttle busses), the decorations and souviniers... A lot of effort was put in too. The whole school, J1s and 2s were assigned duties, such as monitoring the carnival games, etc. So, the whole college has put in a lot of effort into it.

Hello... Today was an interesting day-Went to my dental appointment in the morning, but i shall talk about the driving test that i took in the evening first-
This is just my basic theory trial test, but since i didn't study much for it, i had trouble scoring at first(you need to score to pass<45/50>). On the first time, i got a miserable 44 out of 50. Fail. But i just need one more mark to pass!!! So, i went down to get myself booked for the next test-The money is entirely refundable, so i was planning to clear it today. Before going in, i took a few quick glances at my book and went it. But it wasn't too well-45 out of 50-just pass :~ On my journey there, i met a few nyjc juniors (ytss ppl), glad to know that they are doing well. One of them taking H3!! How exiting!!! So proud of them:)
Then on my way back, i met Shawn-ny 27th sc senior, and walked to bus stop with him, chit-chatting.
Now for my dental stuff: The dentist gave me my new retainer. And i should wear it for like 6 months more:~(((
The reason why don't like wearing it is that it feels really uncomfortable to have such a thing in your mouth, hindering proper speaking, eating, (the natural)saliva-swallowing,..etc.
It's basically the same reason why i don't like wearing jewelleries- It's just uncomfortable:(
Now i've to do my c-language homework-to create a program to calculate income tax.

Was just trying to get a snap of lightning through my window... But it seems too difficult:( Video should be easier: I just need to press the button, go to sleep and come back to earth after sometime. Then there's the time lapse between the moment when the button is pressed and the moment the photo is taken, which is necessary to get a good shot at night time.
Well, here's a (mathematical) joke about fermat's last theorem that has been on my mind for some time now:

"Do you know," the devil confided, "not even the best mathematicians on the other planets-all far ahead of yours-have solved it? Why, there's a chap on saturn- he looks something like a mushroom on stilts-who solves partial differential equations mentally; and even he has given up"

-Arthur Porges, "The Devil and Simon Flagg

Went to immigration today to get my student pass cancelled-I'm now on a visit pass:) I had to exchange those lovely green cards for a white card:(

Just came back from my secondary school-This thursday, i'm having a dental appoinment and the coming tuesday is a public holiday. So, i'll only have to go there next thursday. It'll just be nyjc till then! I'm going to (mini)lecture on gravitation!! So exiting!

Just went for a cycling. My mission was to get myself to east coast park, by following the water canal that runs along the MRT depot between Ang Mo Kio and Bishan. I found out from Google Earth that it'll lead me to the ECP. Well, i didn't really get there since i had to do a bit of exploring and figuring out directions (and considering possible shortcuts). But next time, i should be able to get there in an hour.Once i've made a trip in my bike, I'll be able to run! YaY!!

I just realised: I'm having an interview for usp programme on the coming 28th and nanyangjc's 30th anniversary is also on the 28th. Since my interview is in the morning, i might be able to come for the anniversary.

Today was a super-hectic day, a lot of things packed. This morning, i went for driving theory lessons one and two. Both teachers were trying to keep us awake by their jokes, but throughout the lessons, especially the first one, it became quite obvious that only the ladies were laughing-Really! Every single guy around me just kept a normal face. But the classes are not boring lah, i managed to stay quite awake throughout the two lessons. Since i'm allowed to take as many lessons as i want, and as many trial tests as i want, i'm going to pop in whenever i can. It's one way to make sure that i can pass my basic theory driving test.
Then, i went to my dentist. Since it has been soooo long(see previous post) she has changed place to near somerset MRT. But it's still the same sofa, paintings and all. As i expected, i need to get a new retainer for my upper teeth:( - the lower one still works. so, i needed to do that disgusting mould thing again- the previous time, i nearly vomited.This time i had better control over myself, somehow.
Then, i got myself enrolled for a C-language & C++ language course.about $600 in total, but it's not bad since it's going to be one-to-one and 64 hours in total (excluding practices). It's mostly in the morning, so that i can continue my voluntary works in the evening, which bring me to my next paragraph.
I'm soon going to start helping out at nyjc. But before starting on that, I've seriously got to brush up my chemistry, and if possible, my physics and maths. I've a feeling that I'm growing dumber, day by day.Well, I've some marking to do today, must go ytss tomorrow. I need to get my planner out.

Finally-I'm getting some life:)

Dental appoinment

I used to wear braces in secondary school, but i was done with it in Sec 4 that time.. So, i was given a retriver (to continue to hold back the teeth for some time), which i've only wore for like 3 months or so. I've been too busy lah... haha, nice excuse. And i've a dental appoinment in 2 hrs' time.. dunno what the dentist is going to say. I better brush and floss my teeth before i go in.:( More later, I'm busy right now.

HOMEWARE store Ikea will become the first retailer in Singapore to charge for
plastic bags in a bid to reduce waste.
From April 22, shoppers at the retail
giant's two outlets in Alexandra Road and Tampines will have to pay a nominal
five cents for standard-size bags and 10 cents for larger ones.

WoW. I thought this would take a loong time to catch up in Singapore , but it's good that a giant store like Ikea started on it. It'll be good if other stores start practice it too. And slowly, it'll spread to Malaysia (there are ikeas there, right?) and... I was just thinking about those developing countries where plastic bags may just have been introduced. But well, for these countries, it'll be good to start saving Earth from a young stage.

It's good that my mom has stocked up on those plastic bags. Now, I'll think twice about using those superstore plastics bags as rubbish bins (and not for something more useful, like shopping).

As for me, i've just been entertaining myself by doing maths. And i need to get my library books returned by 18th april. (why do i keep thinking that it's supposed to be 21st?)

YaY!! I've finished my marking! But it took a long while though, about 5 Hrs. I've just managed to get my mom to let me go to nyjc for 3 days per week. But on a condition that i'll continue my running at least 3 days per week and swim at least 2 days per week and relearn to play the keyboard(i learnt it in primary school, but i guess i didn't touch it from then on). Hmm... She seems to have forgotten about the C-language lesson that she was about to sign me up for. If i do sign up, i can't get a official cert since i'ld have to be studying under social visit pass.
Well, better start teaching at ny soon...
gotto mug my driving book now...

Today is my first day at ytss, helping out. My JC friends have mostly gone to NS now. 3 of them who had been helping out are going to step into NS tomorrow. So, that leaves me with quite a lot of work to do, quite a lot of marking, i guess. Yup, there's a lot of marking in secondary school than in JCs. Well, I'm just going to give it my best shot. It feels really great to be doing some real work. I'm going to finish (at least try to) all the marking i have by tonight. It feels really cool to be sitting alongside my teachers and talking with them.
By the way, i also signed up for driving course today, wah, it's going to get super expensive, but somehow, my mom doesn't seem to mind (so, i guess i won't mind too =) ).
Today, before getting to ytss from Sembawang Mrt, i dropped by at sun plaza to check out the library there. But instead, i ended up going into the popular bookstore. It had been really a long time since i last visited one and so, my popular card has been sleeping in my wallet. Well, at this time, I've nothing to buy, really. Maybe some more red pens to keep up with my marking??
Also, i dont' know if I've mentioned this, but a few days ago, I've got an offer from Australian National Uni for my BEng/Bcomm double degree. But i guess i'[ll have to wait to see what i get in NUS and NTU, before i make any decisions...

P.S Man, I'm super forgetful these days. Just super forgetful. My long term memory is working quite well, but my short term memory is really bad. Better get my 07 diary out and start using it.

Went to the national library with my secondary school friend. I was half an hour late and he was an hour late. So, i used the time to complete my Samurai Sudoku. I finally finished it!! In total i've spent about 6 hrs on it. Maybe i'll try another one, but right now i think i need a break from sudokus. Anyway, my friend seemed to be desprate to get his hands on those newspaper microfilm archives that they had, so we asked around for it and finally ended up at the 11th floor. It was quite high tech, after choosing our microfilm reels and filling up some form, we were led into this room where they had a lot of machines to read the film. As we were first timers, we were taught how to use the thing. It's a must-see for those in Singapore!!!
And here's my first exercise on c-language programming. It's a programme that adds up 3 integers. Initially, i found out that it closes too quickly without giving the person time to see the addition. So, i added in the closing thing. Oh, btw, you'll need a compiler to build the program.

#include
int main()
{
int a, b, c, d, e;
printf("Enter the first value:");
scanf("%d", &a);
printf("Enter the second value:");
scanf("%d", &b);
printf("Enter the third value:");
scanf("%d", &c);
d = a + b + c;
printf("%d + %d + %d= %d\n", a, b, c, d);
printf("okay, to close this thing just put in some integer and press enter");
scanf("%d", &e);
return 0;
}

Hey! I'm training to be a Samurai!!! Yesterday i spent 5 hrs doing a samurai sudoku!!here: after 2.5 hrs:


and after another 2.5 hrs:

I've been stuck at this for an hour la...it's sick.

try it! http://www.samurai-sudoku.com

Came back from council campfire yesterday.. so fun! I'll try to make it next yr. I'm also thinking of facilitating in LTC, but have to convince my mom first. I'm still very surprised that the 28th relay systems works well. Maybe there needs to be a new e-mail system or sth to last longer. Finally, i got in teaching at nyjc, which should occupy me throughout these holidays.
bye! off to figure out c-language programming. i shall put up some of my practices...

I'm really getting sick of my computer... The first time i started it just now, it failed to detect my sound system. So, i restarted it. Then, it did detect my sound system, but failed to detect the modem. So, i couldn't connect to the internet. Then, i had to restart again and everything went well till i opened the browser. It automatically restarted. Finally, now, it's seems to be sorking fine... hope it stays this way...
I'm going to learn c programming on my own, together with flash and Cinema 4-d. good luck to me.Tml going for council campfire:)

Wah.. my blogging frequency has decreased lately... I guess i've had a lot of things to do lah,
I started to prepare my room for university studies, had to pack up all my stuff and make more space to make it seem like a more spacious room.
Then, i went to play badminton with my friend at Yishun Stadium. We'd booked the stadium at 10-12 in the morning. Wah.. we shouldn't have bookes at all lah, waste of money. after 11 there was just no one in the sports hall apart from us. so we went on playing till about 1pm(and lost track of time). Then we went to visit our secondary school. Well, it was just supposed to be a visit, but we ended up doing much more. First of all, i came to know that the previous principal of my secondary school is now a principal in srjc. wow! He's really a great man. Then we met up with our junior(1 yr younger than us) who came back to be a relief teacher there. One of my friends was also there, having jsut started on relief teaching. I thought of doing teaching also, but since i'm under student pass, i can't work here. So, i've been thinking of doing some voluntary work at nyjc. My secondary school is very far, takes like 45 mins to travel there. Think about how much time and money i can save.
I also went down to enquire at the driving school. The whole thing will take 8 months, as i was told. And i wonder how my uncle did it in 3 months.Well, better do it now, since i may not have time when i enter university or when i get a job.
And today, i've had some back and leg pains due to the tiring badminton game. Maybe it's because i've not exercised for long. But next time, i'm not going to waste money booking...Must book on a weekday, at around 11am...I went doen to my Secondary school again, today for some moticational talk. The teachers are already making arrangements for me to do some CIP there, but dunno if my mom will let me go. Well, i'll just have to manage driving lessons, swimming, the teaching and still regularly visit the national library to do reading up.

Oh, man, google really has super good april fool jokes, The BEST i've ever ever seen so far!!! Very well developed-and since it's google (which is already far-fetched with its range of free services), the gmail paper one wasn't so farfetched, but i got it when i found the TiSP. Here:
First of all, google TiSP: click here Do click around and explore-it's really quite well developed(FAQs, press releases, testimonials...). Cool parts of it:

... #3 Grasp both ends of the spindle firmly while a friend or loved one flushes, thus activating the patented GFlush™ system, which sends the weighted cable surfing through the plumbing system to one of the thousands of TiSP Access Nodes....

Professional Installation Service
You can also choose to request our professional installation service, which dispatches an army of factory-trained, sub-contracted nanobots from the TiSP Access Node. The nanobots travel with exhilarating nano-speed through the sewer system and into your home to perform the installation service, which should be complete within 15 minutes. Note: For your own physical safety and emotional well-being and in consideration of the nanobots' working conditions, please make absolutely certain that your toilet is unoccupied at the scheduled appointment time.

Then, there is the Google Gulp: click here
then, Gmail paper!!!

Haha.. Happy April Fools day, every one!!! This is one fine day for some fine pooling fooling!!! I'll do a proper blog post tmr morning.
