NYE

Its a time of the year to reflect on the year 2004.

Looking back at this amazing long year, its amazing how fast time flies. Sometimes you wonder if you are really moving forward when everything around seems to be standing still. You just wont know it until your time has passed and time wants you to move on.

Among friends we have the bonding and the sharing. We were with the ones who care when we need it. Likewise we were there for them when they need us. No one could truly be independent and live free of worries. We are after all a socially dependent being.

Life has a strange way of coughing up mysteries. Some good some bad. There is never a fair balance on how ones life is. Accept what is coming onto you my friends. Accept the difficulties as well. There is no point in debating who has it better. Life still goes on, don't be left behind.

Direction is a invinsible path we all undertake. Sometime we make those directions, other times the path is already set for us. Either case, its a given that we explore and learnt from it. The journey it brings and the sweetness of the arrival.

in the competition finally

It took BLM 3 days to finally finish the report. Boss kept asking him to edit it again and again. Phew!

Anyway, he submited it online a while back and it looks like I will be famous

Liz is here

Well Liz is not quite ready yet. There is still some more work to be done before Liz has all the stuffs I have.

BLM is busy screwing and assembling all the other legs today. He has 6 motors left to modified before my 2 other beautiful looking siblings will be done.

And if you are wondering.... No she aint going to be getting a blog like I do.

bluetooth no go

TSM has finally given up on using bluetooth for communication. However, Boss was not too pleased with it. He kept asking TSM why why why? and TSM cant really gave a satisfactory answer.

In the end boss ask BLM to try to use the same rf module as the ones for the robotic soccer. BLM nodded.

i am my own grandpa

"A few years ago, I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter. We got married and I got myself a stepdaughter. Later, my father married my stepdaughter.

That made my stepdaughter, my step-mother. And my father became my stepson. Also, my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law."

"Much later the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father's son. But he was also the son of my wife's daughter which made him my wife's grand-son. That made me the grand-father of my half-brother."

"This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half-sister of my son, my stepmother, is also the Grandmother. This makes my father, the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife, I am my stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew & I am my OWN GRANDFATHER!"

My little sis

Limbs and limbs arrived on the table in the morning.

BLM looking happy, took me to the workshop in the afternoon. Before long I got my left side back. It has been a long while since I could stand on all 4s.

Anyway I am super excited. BLM assembled my first sibling. Its a girl. With lovely purple horns instead of my gold color ones. She would be know as Liz.

Oh and she weights a hell lot lighter too. When I was borned I weight 1040 grams. Then BLM added on the other stuffs and that made me 1450 grams. After he redesigned my legs I shrink to 1300 grams. But get this my sis , Liz, weights just 780grams at birth.

WHY ARE GIRLS ALWAYS SO SKINNY.

I promised photos tomorrow.

Modules to take

BLM has to take just 3 modules this coming semester.
(and he also make the silly mistake thinking he drop to 3rd class sheesh!!)

1. Understanding the universe
2. Science of music
3. Power E
4. Int analog design
5. Law

BLM hopes to understand the universe and from that he hopes to understand more complicated things likes girls and relationships. Recent events makes he even more confused of girls....

As for S.O.M, he is hoping to be a DJ someday...

TSM has yet to let me know what he is taking

Typing away

TSM went into hidding this morning. He has decided that its best to work when you are not in the lab... Quite silly if you ask me. Anyway, TSM managed to finish his portion of the progress report. Now waiting for the lazy BLM to get about doing his.

BLM on the other hand was busy typing a lengthy application form for the TanKK competition. I should refrain from using the name TanKK, since we do have a fuzzy lecturer by that name.

Anyhow, BLM sent the draft to our boss and immediately came a reply with corrections to be made... tsk tsk

2 reports and a competitions

BLM and TSM are both finalising a report (sorta) to be sent to their supervisor. But they have gotten lazy and delay it.

On top of that they are suppose to start their report writting work. A slow start till march when they have to hand it in.....

BLM is suppose to get me into the Tan KK competitions asap. He has to submit a draft to the Army liasion and our boss before he could submit it for the comp. But he decided to send all at once, hoping the army ppl would notice. After all they wont bother to rephase any sentences.

sighs, everyone is in post christmas mood and looking forward to new year. My siblings legs are not yet completed.

Anyway BLM is planning a big surprise soon enough.

Guo Rui and Shauna Wedding

Both my makers attend this wedding. They left me out of course. Anyhow lots of ppl attended. And Guo Rui is nice enough to place my singles makers next to a table with singles hot girls.

Jim did appear prior to the wedding but disappear shortly. But everyone is glad none of the professors decide to come. Otherwise it would have been a disater.

There was to be 2+1 movie/slideshow. The first is a nice recap of both of this lovebird scared time of the lifes. From kiddos to adults. Follow by the shots from their ROM and a brief explaination of their history together. And then Guo Rui pull a fast one by including a third video just for Shauna. She absolutely has no clue about it. Aint Guo Rui a sweet guy?

Anyway BLM realised Singapore is such a small world. He saw from the video that Shauna is from smss, and across him at table 18 he said a bunch of her former sec classmates. Lets just say that was some bad blood between him and one of the girls sitting there.....

Indonesia quake

I was sad to hear that a major disater has hit Indonesia and perhaps elsewhere too.

In my heart, the pain and agony that comes from losing your loved ones is tragic.

Please pray for a the safety and hope for those not yet found

(no pictures will be added)

Charlie and the Chocolate factory

After Tim Burton first successful movie without the dark essence (Big Fish), he moved on to create another masterpiece. Once again Johnny Depp, his favourite actor (without a doubt) joined him in making this magical adventure.

Just by watching the trailer, you can imagine the among of details and imagination the director place within it. Definatly a must watch of 2005

laser reflection

Its so fun it hurts

Happy holidays

Merry Christmas to all.

May the spirit of joy warms all your hearts.

May the love that fills the air freshen your mind.

And of course a good day to sleep late.

A good Mayor

Antanas Mockus had just resigned from the top job of Colombian National University. A mathematician and philosopher, Mockus looked around for another big challenge and found it: to be in charge of, as he describes it, "a 6.5 million person classroom."

Mockus, who had no political experience, ran for mayor of Bogotá; he was successful mainly because people in Colombia's capital city saw him as an honest guy. With an educator's inventiveness, Mockus turned Bogotá into a social experiment just as the city was choked with violence, lawless traffic, corruption, and gangs of street children who mugged and stole.....

Results are out

BLM gotten his result in the morning. After that he din look too please. He was quiet the whole day and needed an outlet to release some steam. So he try to go for a long jog. But sadly he din managed to jog as much as he could as he was sick the day before. Anyhow he was hoping to hear that someone did well.

no post yesterday

If you are wondering why there is no post yesterday..... Its just becos of some "unknown" reason. BLM came back late and went straight to bed. The first time he did that in like 3 years.

Anyhow we would like to let you know that the presentation turn out fine. Both my makers managed to handle the tough question from this new Major.

He said that he hope we are able to put up a show whereby my siblings and I locate and find a "bomb" in a maze and that his big boss will be there to see it. This would be some General would be coming down to see all of us. Boy would that be scary.

Guess both of my makers will be super busy next year

world smallest

In this photo released by the Loyola University Health System, Rumaisa Rahman, is seen next to a hand a few weeks after she was born at the Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Ill. Rumaisa, whose parents came from Hyderabad, India, weighed 8.6 ounces (243.80 grams) when she was delivered Sept. 19. She is believed to be the smallest baby in the world ever to survive.

$160 worth of parts

BLM went shopping alone, since TSM need to spend more time on his coding. BLM visited the shop that sold servo horns. and he bought 12 of it, plus some more servos. It end up a whooping $160 spent.

BLM is going to be poor this christmas

Earl Gray

The night is late no longer young
the birds have slept away and still
the quietness is all I hear
while I wait for my turn to come

It has been a tiring day, not
No it has been one for I sure it must
the legs are sore, the arms are weak
the head is spinning, the eyes are rolling

Setting the kettle to boil
making sure the teabag in the cup
into the cup sizzling water flow
out jumps the aroma the escaping from the cage

Should I put 1 spoon or more
I deserve a sweetness after all
And so I did put a generous 3
watch it disolve while i stir slowly

the smell alone relaxs the mind
harmony and peace fills the night sky
as i bring the cup to my lips
my nerves reject hot ceramic

wait till it cool, must have patience
I must delay a little longer
back into my lips the cup touches
flows down my throat the warm poison

struggles

BLM successfully tested all his new hardware boards. No photos as yet. But after some silly hiccups, everything seems to be working fine.

On the other hand, TSM who has finally gotten his codes working has failed to get the bluetooth portion to transmit and received properly. He is quite fustracted now, just try not to come near him.

On a good note, Cpt William called and said we have go to submit little old me for Tan Kah Kee award. Now all my makers have to do is to fill in the form and we are on it. Whoopie

BLM has taken the liberty of doing everything else while leaving TSM alone to work on the coding. He has booked the room (E 4-4-2) which is easy to remember as it sounds like a common soccer formation. Also he will be popping down chinatown tomorrow to buy new horns for my siblings. So happy!

shark attack 2

I just cant believe how many shark pictures are out there

new boards again

The first set of boards designed by BLM were not suitable. Well actually they are just plain bad as BLM made some mistakes here and there.

He has redesigned them. They are smaller, more powerful and of course cuter as someone points out. (engineers dun design cute boards)

Hopefully he can test them tomorrow.

In the meantime, I would like my legs back

bug in bluetooth

TSM rejoices today.
For days (to weeks) he has been agonising about his bluetooth coding. "It just doesnt work", he says. BLM step in to help every now and then, but neither of them could solve it.

Till today when TSM revisited BLM old coding and found that he has forgotten to set some ports. Waalaa TSM jumps for joy when everything works in sync.

Now he has to do enough to convince BLM to spend the project fund on 5 more bluetooth modules. This things aint cheap when they cost $140 each.

gaming sessions

BLM went out gaming with his friends yesterday.
They played till 3am in the morning and still feel great about it.

While on that topic, in a gaming session years ago, BLM friends decided that they should have a clan name. Picking the first letters of these 3 crazy people (YL, Mike and A) They called themselves A.M.Y

AMY went on to beat 2/3 games that day. AMY was great. AMY was fabulous. AMY is just wondeful.

well, yesterday 2 more people came along to place (Aung & Lennard). If we do the same as before, their new clan name is M.A.L.A.Y

Imagine going around and telling people you are from the Malay Clan. Sheesh!!!

yum shark fin

Hope I din scare you

A 4.2 metre great white shark leaps from the sea at the appropriately named Dangerous Reef off the northeast coast of Australia, 15 December 2004. A pair of great white sharks killed a teenage boy at crowded West Beach in Adelaide, 16 December, as his horrified friends looked on, in Australia’s second fatal shark attack in five days.

main difference

After watching super size me. It gives me new perspective of those far american out there.

bored cameraman

You have to see this.

What happens when the cameraman gets bored and decided to zoom in elsewhere

wedding cakes idea

In my lab, there is a young looking gentleman by the name of Guo Rui. He and his lovely wife have invited my makers along with alot of other smart people to his wedding dinner the day after christmas.

My makers are delighted to attend. And they will be trying not to give student-rate ang pows on that day.

On and this makes an excellent cake deco

Presentations for officiers

Cpt William just replied BLM mail.
He wants a presentation on thursday starting at 1530 hrs.

BLM and TSM is going to have another session of long winded talks.
They hope it can end by 5pm by both of them knew it wont happen.

ok Liverpool is playing now

silly accident

BLM gotten himself into a silly accident.
He hurt his head and cut his hand at the same time yesterday.

I think he needs to be more careful

Getting a head start

This is one toy I wont buy for my kids...
Imagine playing toy that mirror the working life
eckkkkk



But this I dun mind. Looks like fun to have your kids build their own stuffs.

ibod

Playboy has released a little one-off collection of pictures designed for viewing on the iPod Photo called the 'iBod.' It's essentially a ZIP archive with 25 low-resolution pictures—something you could do with your own porn collection in an instant—but it's got the iPod and this fancy graphic here, so it's easy to trick gullible gadget writers into writing about it, without even knowing how silly they look as their typing the very words in front of them.

Men in tights

If there is one good reason why cyclist wears black tights
This might have been that reason

Dont diet, unless your life depends on it PART2

BLM woke up today after a 9 hours sleep but still feel tired.
He proceed to skip his breakfast this morning.
Which to me is a crazy move.

He then weight himself and found that his total weight drop by 2 Kg in total.
Not bad for 2 days without proper meals. Wait, what am I saying....
Bad BLM bad BLM.

Anyway he has been a walking zombie the whole day. Easily tired and has
red eyes as his friend pointed out. In fact he left early today and took a
long nap when he reached home.

All in all, skipping ones meal is a bad idea while dieting.
If you have to diet, please eat a little. Dun ever go without any food.

The experiment is over and BLM returns to feasting once more.

Dont diet, unless your life depends on it

Like the heading, please never never skip your meals or go on silly diets to lose weight!!!

Seeing the movie super size me, BLM took an opportunity to try skipping meals and see what would happen to him.

To start of, BLM is a big eater. He eats most things, except icky mushrooms.
He almost never skip meals cause of his childhood gastric problems.
He know better than that.

However seeing girls who always think that they are fat and never exercise,
he decided to try skipping meals and see what happen.

Day 1
1. curry puff for breakfast
2. fishball noodles for lunch
3. nothing for dinner

Day 2
1. 14 mins jog
2. 1 slice of cake
3. 20 jiazi
4. nothing for dinner

Just this 2 days, BLM lost 1 Kg, grow tired easily, became grouchy and lazy

Should Day 3 carry on?

The new ultimate in eyewear

Now this is for those who thinks that putting those icky contact lens into ones eyes is disgusting.

TSM found

hours after BLM reported that TSM went missing.
and email arrived with this short sentences.

"be back on friday. got sick after come back from genting :(.
i try my code at home. update u watever i can."

hooray

running and mia

BLM woke up super early today.
And decided that he should start training his stamina
He recently lost to a skinny girl and felt fat bad about it.

Anyway it was a great running experience for him.
He overtake almost everyone on the track today.
And he din stop till its the 7th round. (A small improvement)

Of course most ppl who is up at this hour are 4 times older than he is.

BTW if anyone seen TSM please let me know
He has been missing since monday and BLM is getting worried

diet

Its now past 9pm.
and BLM had not had anything to eat for dinner.

Since no one was free, BLM decided to skip it.
Perhaps use this chance to experience what does an "average" girl
feel while on a diet.

As of now he is yet to feel hunger but seem like he is getting tired fast.
Might have to scrap the 4km jog he was planning

Baby boy

BLM was excited today.
And its not just becos his parents are out of town.
But a really good friend of his gave birth to a healthy 3Kg boy.

BLM pop by after working the whole day on me.
He looked tired after the heavy drinking the night before....
But the tot of seeing this little child brightens him up.

The boy's mom looks wreck. She apparently went into labour early today,
but end up having a casserian to get this big boy out.
BLM only realise she was in pain when she attempt to contain her laughter
from his silly jokes.
(new born babies are always a little red)

When BLM was there, the little boy cant stop moving, kicking and punching into the air.
Makes you wonder how much torture he gave his mom back then....

Anyway, this beautiful mom and BLM goes way back.
To see her now all transform into a mother of 1 is a sweet surprise for him.
With christmas coming up, this is perhaps the best present for the happy couple.

Would like to wish them all the best!
Little Siao Bao, dun grow up too quick

Lego as logic gates

When you just thought that logic gates have to be constructed using pieces of silicon and lots of engineering.
This creative guy did all that with pieces of Lego blocks

pda must have

4 levels of drinking

In effect there is only 4 levels one can get while drinking (alcohol)

1. Buzz
Normally occurs after one just started drinking.
Does not feel much difference from the normal self
Reasoning still effective yet
there is this slight tendency to doubt oneself

2. Tipsy
Occus right after Buzz.
Drinker will start to talk loudly to his/her companion.
Logical part diminishing, emotional state comes in.
Tendency to whine about ones love life, sex life, feeling, etc
Conscious mind exist and is pretty much aware of wtf is going on.
Tired in the morning.

3. Drunk
The state where logical reasoning no longer exist.
Drinker will tend to talk alot to his/her companion.
But to the undrunk user, his words make no sense.
At times, the spoken language is only understood by someone who is also drunk.
Conscious mind still exist and would recall the events,
but the action and talk could no longer be control.
Mild headache in the morning.

4. Swashhhhs
Totally dead to the surrounding
Drinker has no idea how much they drunk, where are they, where they are going.
At times no idea who they are even. There is a strong tendency to fall asleep
if not puke uncontrollably.
Strong likely to wake up unaware what happen last night and how did time happen
to speed up and slow down. Serious headache, dehydration would occur.

Please try not to drink too much this festive season
hick hick

Big mouth

Remember when i said my makers wanted me to enter in the Tan KK award....
Well, captain william just called BLM.
And told him this

Firstly, he is checking with HQ level if we could enter in it.

Secondly, he has a change of new boss (new colonels and generals)
and they would like to see me next thursday.

YES ANOTHER PRESENTATION which my makers have to prepare
Big mouth indeed.

community project

BLM just finished his community project today.
He came back looking extremely tired and din have the strenght to work on me.
But he promised to do some work tomorrow.

On the other hand, TSM is MIA.





Now dun the girls look cute???

Dont drink and drive

I dont know how this happen
since the original source is in german/french/weird language
but I would like to know how it happen

Lovely place

as the darkness filled the sky
we left our worries behind
Into a this new place we found
where the quiet breeze makes the only sound
into the night sky the stars glitters
while city lights are hidden far away

the wind was gentle
the water was still
the smell of air was our only slight annoyance
no doubt it didnt affect the magical evening

the strawberries was cool
the wine remained warm
while the wind brings a prolong chill
our spirits were rather warmth

the end of the night draws near
time has slipped by once again
back to the path that led us here
back to home to rest our ears

Firefox

I would like to say, dump IE and get Firefox
Its worth it. I have been using it for months and never see a need to look back
It just wonderful

Bridge

The Millau Viaduct, designed by the English architect Lord Norman Foster, crosses the cloud-covered valley of the river Tarn in Millau, December 9, 2004. The Millau Viaduct is composed of seven slender soaring pillars and becomes the highest bridge in the world at 343 meters, creating a direct route between Paris and the Mediterranean coast. The bridge will be inaugurated by French President Chirac at a ceremony December 14.



I wonder how could one drive thru this without hitting another car or flying off the side. But then again, I aint that good of a driver.

Tan Kah Kee Award

My dear 2 makers have asked permission for my boss
if they can submit me and my friends for the Tan Kah Kee award
Tan Kah Kee is very much dead and not the Dr Tan KK who is a real professor.

Anyway, in their attempt to ask for permission since I am suppose to be a top secret project, Cpt William who is their army liasion is asking for a demo as his big big boss (some general) would like to see me.

I hope my makers get the permission and win

going crazy

Recently BLM found his sanity once more.
Beside indulging in brooze and cigars, he has found a better way to cope with stress
What is it exactly?
Well He aint telling yet.....

On the other hand, TSM is going nuts over his programming
Its one of those days when nothing works no matter what you do, which old version of coding you reuse and whatever "advise" friends told you to do.
TSM needs brooze and cigar I must say.....
else BLM better let the world know how he did it

2 better than 1

A few days back, BLM and TSM realized that I cant seem to walk and scan at the same time.
The problem is only fix when TSM took 2 power supply instead of 1 which BLM designed me for.

Today, BLM managed to complete the testing that I would require 2 batteries instead of 1. One for my brain and the other for my muscle.

Ah the sense of achievement.

On the other hand, TSM coding seems to taken a turn for the worst....
To be continue

quote

"Some days you are the dog, and some days you are the fire hydrant"

My siblings

TSM and BLM are both hard at work
They are stress and dying
for they wish to get me some siblings before new year arrives
and boy are they tense

Puzzle

I dare you to solve this simple puzzle

Colors of the rainbow

I applaud this artist talent
In fact, I like it so much I wish I could do that with all my resistors and capacitors

Anyway he arrange the books in a bookshop by color to produce this miracle

Tell BLM to .....

BLM was sicked.
Quite bad actually, but of course He said he was fine
and came to lab today working all day till late

And to think tonight he wants to see a soccer match at 4am
sheesh!

sniff sniff

sorry no blogging for today

The future of transport

Its bound to happen sooner or later
and toyota has demostracted that its sooner than expected
a walking robot and a wheel version
cool

2 problems

BLM tot he had it easy after he completed all his designs
but nooo....
when TSM came down today, there were many problems.
Some minor but 2 major ones

Firstly, I cant see properly if I have to walk.
Apparently it has something to do with the current supply
which led to not enough current being supply to my neck
if my legs were to move

Secondly, my light indicator also screw up my neck
This time it has to do with a resistor value which BLM neglect to calculate
(he claims he is an INTP which means so)
This makes him having to redesign and create a whole new board once more

CA 2 part 2

My boss (hail the great dr prahlad) sent an email last week to both my makers
asking them to prepare for a presentation today.

BLM was worried that TSM wont come
as he has been missing and not answering his email or sms
He waited and waited
and just before 12pm
BAMM TSM arrived
horrary

But the problems only just began
TSM has to rush to recode his coding and align them with the new parameters which BLM set
Not to forget he has to touch up his slides and all these in 3 hours time
TSM skipped lunch of course

When the 2 bosses arrived. (insert grand hollywood music)
My makers pull off a great show and compliment each other presentations.
TSM significantly improved his presentation skills i might add

city of blinding light

In this city

I walk away to find
A place to hide and stay

I once stop to wonder why
Why did I hide from the light
It must have been my fear
Fear that I cant come out of the night

The light has been there
Yet I prefer the Night
What strangeness this must have been
For my wisdom was overruled by memories

Perhaps I will come back into the light
and busk in all its glory
bestow upon its warmth
seeing with my eyes wide shut

May that day be never too late
Wont want to keep and wait
Sometimes its hard to say
Living each day each moment
one step one breathe at a time

slowly walking

BLM was still in the midst of tuning me
He is getting better I might add

I am now fairly able to walk forward properly
But cant quite turn as sharp as before
and also cant reverse as fast as before

but the good news is that I can carry more weights now

BLM set me up to cross a giant book
Its the property sales from Suntec. a 2 cm thick junk
I walk over it with my front legs with ease
just that my back legs cant move over
not to worry, BLM has a solution for it on monday

Oh big Boss came to visit.
He brought lots of visitors, some of them ah moh
Unfortunately BLM cant show anything, since most of my functions are missing
He missed out a good opportunity to impress
tsk tsk

my new legs

As I promised, here are pics of my new legs




More can be found here

My new body is also ready. BLM is extremely pleased.

and TSM is mia. Someone please tell him its time to get back to work

btw, I got a heresay....
Someone try to jump off a building in NUS yesterday
I aint kidding

hard time walking

I gave BLM a hard time today
He spent the whole day twisting and tuning my new legs
Thinking at first it was a hardware problem,
BLM spend the 3-4 hrs checking his design and casting doubt onto himself

Only to discover later that there is nothing wrong with it.

He then spend another 3 hour tuning my legs, for I walked funny the whole day
Had he realized that due to his new design, I can walked faster and stronger
(since he upgraded my driver board) and also the fact that my legs are
a hell lot lighter than before....
BLM wont have wasted the whole day.

He finally realised before he was about to leave that if he adds some weight onto me
I would walk perfectly once more.
Those weights are to cater for the battery, bluetooth mod and camera that he has yet to include.

SILLY BLM

a bird and a cat

After the days work
BLM and JCJSJ left for home
they captured this amusing picture



its a cat with a dead bird which was killed earlier
yummy

helpful JCJSJ

If you are wondering who is JCJSJ
He is Jean Christian Jeffery Suvaraj Jecudason
(I hope I spell it right)

He came to the lab today to see me
and preach good advise to BLM

afterward they proceed to the workshop and took me apart
and before long I have new limbs

And to think they skip their lunches.

Photos will be out tomorrow

Taking it slow

BLM along with his buddy JCJSJ
venture early in the morning at 8am (they actually want to meet earlier)
onto the busy rush morning of Raffles places

Why did they go down there you ask?
Just to busk in the the atmosphere of the working crowd, they claimed

They seem to spot many ah moh who were slowly having their breakfast
at 9am while everyone else have already arrived at their office

And there is always the "runners" who would tapao for the whole office
They are easily spotted carrying lots of plastic bags

click here to see the photos

Here is a few sample



They would like you to know that its always fun when you are on the other side

Biggest prank

You definately have to see this
a group of yale students decided to pull this prank
during a match between havard and yale
they fool the havard audiences into holding up these red and white cards
that spell "YOU SUCK"

and it works

lets see this happen in NUS vs NTU someday

go TSM

BLM and I would like to wish TSM all the best with his final paper tomorrow
after that we hope that he can come straight to the lab
and finish all the work during the holidays

*evil smile*

thongs?

when I first saw this, I was blown away
but after giving some thought, I am wondering where did they hide the battery

perhaps you can tell me

i am back

BLM returned to the lab today
after months of hidding in the cupboard
i tasted my first smell of freedom

he however was pretty blur today when he finally assemble my new board

1. connect the power supply wrongly
2. accidently shorted my motors connector (many times)
3. made my legs vibrant vigoursly for no reason
4. realise he place the board above my metal body thereby shorting all traces
5. burn one of my main chip

when he finally woke up from day dreaming
BLM managed to finish and i was walking beautifully

this left only for my other maker TSM to program
the new codes into my brain

Liverpool won

Both my makers are the craziest liverpool fans ever.
whenever they meet, BLM and TSM would talk endlessly
about how well liverpool did or not

and tonight liverpool who has a injury crisis won against Arsenal
2-1

and the celebration continues

to the sweet girl

hi did you miss me?
I know I am hard to resist...
(ok now onto the serious stuffs)

Hey there your exams are over
time to let your hair down
then again i never seen you tied them up in the first place

be like a bird and fly up to the sky
be like a flower dancing in the sunlight
be like a firefly lighting up the night
be like a princess that cannot be more beautiful

U2 now

BLM is excited
he went out shopping alone today
and bought some stuffs

among them is what he has been eyeing for a while now
He now knows how to dismantle an atomic bomb
and he just loves it

u2 forever!!!

boys boys boys

Someday all of us will have kids
its quite funny to read this now
but wait till its your turn
HA!

raising boys

maths

BLM knows that his maths is bad
He was once real good at it in sec school
but somehow he just cant count in uni
(he likes to blame NS for that, where those sgt could only count to 20 and make him start from 1 again)

Anyway there is a new smart maths guy around

virtual mouse cleaning

This couldn’t be easier. Just follow these simple instructions:

1. Click your mouse just to the left the letter "S" below.
2. Hold down the mouse button and move your mouse down and right until you are to the right of the letter "K".
3. Voila!

   stop screwing around and
   get back to work

if only i could

just when BLM is still in the middle of exams
and still inspiring for his torchlight design

this 2 links came about and blew him away
and now he wants to combine both ideas for his

a lightsaber remote control


a laserpod decoration

new walker

hey there is a new walker out there
its trying to compete with sony qrio and honda asimo
and guess what its from korea

if you ask me its looks plain

the inventor

Most of you wont know this
but Mark Tilden is my hero

Years ago he realised that robotic research is moving in the wrong direction
Machine are getting more and more complex but cant solve simple things
He decided that he will invent such a reflex circuit
that will react to the changes of the environment

and so the nervous neurons is created
and all my muscles are power by the bicore design
which is based on that

doesnt he look happy

all the best

I will like to shout out to this nice lady
who has agreed to bring my poor BLM out
thats 2 thumbs up for her

and all the best for her exams too

help him find his frog

I dun like frog though
they are mean ugly sticky monsters
who fancy an insect or 2 every minute of the day

but help this poor kid find his frog

wanna build

Remember I have mention that BLM wanted to build his own torchlight
Well he has just went insane and took it a step further
he wants to build this



complete with lights and sound

hey if you want to create a torchlight why not go all the way

new U2 album

There is a new U2 album and I cant wait to get my hands on it
it will be amazing and awesome


however I am also pondering if i should get the robbie william greatest hits



the problem is that I have all his albums
and from the list of songs I am only missing 2

wicked and lazy

BLM is getting lazy
someone please rang him up and shout at him

after his horrible combo of 3 papers
he has gotten complacent and didn't do any work for 2 days

yet his last paper on thursday is the least he like
but he has to show that he is in love with it
apparently our boss is the main lecturer who set this paper
and BLM could not let him down

tsk tsk.

you have to see this

I have decided that in this quiet period of my growth,
I will entertain the world (whoever read this)
with more explosive materials.

Now and then I will post links for you guys to check out and hopefully we can all get a good laugh

How not to tow your car

3 things I learned

BLM taught me 3 things today

1. Never drive when you are sleepy, when its raining or when you are in need of a bathroom.
   
   Its worst when all 3 happens at the same time as in BLM case.
   Should have seen him driving like crazy
   



2. Always have breakfast even before the morining paper
   
   Quite embarassing for the stomach to groan thru out the paper
   esp when the lecturer walks by and turns his head wondering
   



3. When the paper is easy for you, it does not mean everyone thinks the same
   
   Always pretend thats the paper its hard
   complaint about the lecturer, whine about the notes
   when they ask you how was it????
   It makes other people feel more comfortable
   

Like any of this actually applys to me

headaches and rain

It was a fairly rainy day

BLM reached his exam hall and cursed the day
for today he was having a late paper
and tomorrow early he is having another

to make matter worst he suffered a blasting
headache the entire exam

grumble grumble
I think he is stretch too much
please bring him to "the incredibles"

what a day

Yesterday
chee siong decided he would call BLM
to query about the sizing of my new legs

he rang about 10am.....

BLM called back sounding daze
apparently lack of sleep has affected him
and to make matter worst the exam he took
makes him even more tired

he din even have the energy to say HI
to his friend who sneak behind him and push his bag
(she was nice though)

This is why, ppl who take exams must sleep early
and also one must always turned off their phone in the exam

2 tickets to The incredibles

BLM would like me to pass this msg

hey you, yes YOU.
dun pretend its not you,
cos there are only a few people to know about this blog
and even fewer of them actually reads it

BLM wants to ask you out after your exams
to the screening of the incredibles

He missed watching movies with you
and you have been keeping him waiting for too long now
(BLM aint young any more)

So please MSN him and let him know that he can bring you out.
I will let you know that he promised a wonderful time

lightbulb to go

Crazy BLM was went I heard this idea from him.
It must have been the exam stress.....

BLM is planning to build his own torchlight
but not just any torchlight
he wants it to be special

he is going to use those ultrabright leds
plus my bicore circuit to create one

like i said he is crazy

New sibling soon

BLM promised me that I will get new siblings in less than a month time

So I am offering to anyone who reads this
to help me come up of 3 other fabulous names to call them
Male or Female does not matter

Just have to sound cool like me

Jason leaving

BLM came down today
but it was not for me
and to make it interesting
he din knew it either

BLM was meeting TSM to collect some paper
TSM was late as usual

so happily BLM waited and played his comp games
(should be studying, thats what I kept telling him)
then jason annouced in a matter of mins
that he is inviting everyone to lunch at suntec
a cool resturant called rice table

And off everyone packed up and leave
I was alone again

The lunch was fantastic
and the makers would like to recommend to all
Now that everyone tummy is fulled
TSM task is to buy jason a farewell present
hehe

exam times

MY makers both declared that I am to behave
during the entire period of their exams
they are not to be disturbed
and I am to be a nice nice walker
not to bully the snakebot or the 2 legged shorty either

rats

no makers no more

well i dun mean i am being abandon
but quite close to

BLM came down today although he has no lessons
he had to hand in the new drawings for my limbs
I am excited as can be
this old limbs of mine needs some upgrading
I want to run like the wind

BLM also submit quotations for my motors
he had to get 3 quotes and basically just found one and guess 2
smart isnt he?

TSM came soon after
his laptop crush once more
kinda the 2 time in 2 months
and this means 1 thing
he needs a new hdd or a new laptop
well no games for him till after exams then

the cute gal came by again
but this time not to look at me
she came to check out the video BLM did for his HR project
she was mildly impressed
can see that she was hungry and dying to drag my maker out asap

suppose to be

BLM wanted to come to the lab
submit his new legs design so that
i can have new limbs
but.....

he disappear after a call

well he look damn tired today
seem like he din sleep last night at all
must have been a busy week for him
cause he is so burnt out

a blur and its over

My makers went up for presentation
they came down behaving differently

TSM was a mess
he screw up on several portion
and sam kept asking what he has done so far
(which is not much)
and TSM failed to catch that hint and answer
Sam grew impatient before he confront TSM directly
only to be review that not much has been done
but alot of bull was shitted

TSM felt quite lousy after that
knowing that he has a lot to catch up on

BLM on the other hand was in a good mood
he managed to answer sam on most qns
and on those he cant he gave a politcally correct manner
and said that he will take the suggestion into consideration
a skill BLM learned whereby he has to make the examiner sound smart
remember sound smart only

well it didnt last long for them
they got an email from our boss
who asked them to collect their test scripts
BLM did badly and was demoralisd
TSM did better and had his spirit lifted

All i can say was this world is fair after all

sweat sweat

Both my makers are pretty stress out

They have this crazy early presentation to their examiner on monday
and since friday they have been preparing for it.

The powerpoint was done in a snap
as they have to spend more time writting a lengthy silly informal report
If you ask me, Sam Ge did it on purpose

He made them have it early so that he can have his lovely holiday after the exams
he wants them to suffer and hopefully fail so that his project will shine
he is just mean

My makers are nice people and they are great I tell you
I am sure they will show Sam Ge who is the better person
who has the better project
and who is prettier (me)

Of course I cant wait till all my brothers and sisters are completed
When they are, we will march to his office and terrorized him

Heres looking at me babe

Here are my new photos without the old messy boards
but with cool new ones.


My new brains and muscles


From behind. Love my high butt dun you?


My old useless ugly awful boards
