I Won!!

Remember that Smirnoff Man United competition that I entered for fun? I can't believe that I won something. Haha.

Even though I won the Special Prize, which is a Smirnoff Manchester United Cap and 2 RM58 tickets (which means I'm gonna be behind the goalkeeper!), but it's still something and I'm grateful for it. =D

Hopefully Gf can come and watch with me though. I never expected the first LIVE football match I'm gonna watch is of Manchester United; while a week after, my brother will be watching Liverpool kick the wind out of the Singaporean National Team. T_T

Whatever it is... Thanks to Smirnoff, Thaiboxingirl, Riche Monde, and those who helped me!! =D

Exam Results

Results just came out. Was really scared about it but when I saw it I was relieved. I was extremely shocked at my Engineering Economics and Malaysian Studies results, which looked like DEFINITE A's to me. I wonder why I NEVER get A for 2 credit hour subjects. Always A- that I always nearly expect it.

But anyways just praise God that I didn't fall out of Dean's as nearly everyone in Civil gang had their GPA drop from the previous semester. It was indeed harder in that semester. Hopefully this semester *fingers crossed* =D

Anyways, this is how it looks like. Still thankful because my coursework was not as good as previous semesters. But the results are encouraging, save for those 2 I mentioned above, and Highway Engineering =D

The Most Pointless Thing I Did Today

I normally have my meals in the office. So my meals are kinda like "Kinder Joy" surprises that I get everyday. Never know what's for lunch beforehand. So I kinda realized that the time it takes for me to finish my meal varies from day to day. So, having a lot of time on my hands, I tried to derive an expression to determine the speed of my eating a standard meal.

The following is the solution I have obtained:

There are infinite variables that we can consider. However I have decided to omit the less quantifiable variables which will complicate the calculations, such as food dislikes, allergies, being picky etc.

Assumptions:

1. All food is at least acceptable to the eater

2. Speed varies from one individual to another

3. The meal consumed is not for luxury, but rather out of necessity

4. Taste (acceptability) and Portion are the only variables that govern the magnitude of speed

First, we isolate the influence of each parameter on the magnitude of speed.

We can see that Taste is directly proportional to Speed while Portion is inversely proportional to Speed.

Next, we combine the two variables to support the accuracy of the above method with a simple table.

where, -- represents, Extremely Low Speed

- Low Speed

O medium Speed

+ High Speed

++ Extremely High Speed

Therefore, I conclude that:-

Speed = Constant x Taste/Portion

Perhaps I may be wrong, but I guess. This means I'm probably thinking too much or I'm just too bored and missing Gf too much. =(

She's Coming Back =)

Yup. You heard read it. Gf is coming back from her Singapore trip and this means me gonna get to see her soon =D

Just can't wait bee. Wanna eat in Seoul Garden and watch Transformers 2! (malunya belum tengok) =D

I Miss You

Gf is in Singapore now visiting her aunt. She just left at 5 p.m in the evening via air. I already miss her. =(

Btw this has always been my favorite pic though, and it stands on my table. =D

Proof The Weather Is TOO Hot

Was at site as usual today and I was feeling pretty sleepy at one point and I got the best wake up call. All of a sudden, and explosion came from the pile driver I was observing. A great deal of hydraulic fluid burst out from the pipes running towards the drop hammer and it all just evaporated in an explosive manner.

Even at a great deal of distance, some of the fluid sprayed onto my safety boots and my hand. Thank God that it wasn't hot. My supervisor said that thing can scald. *phew!*

Post explosion pile driver- Pretty much black

The spillage from the explosion

If you enlarge this picture, you actually can see the fluid (yellowish) gushing out
