A lot of things have cropped up these weeks. The month of January was filled with proposals for PBL Symposium, tying up Open House event, trying my best to accumulate all the CE points, my belated 18<sup>th</sup> birthday, trying to come up with my own blog code and many more. In a jiffy, January has ended and now we’re in the middle of February. Really, how time “flies”. Day by day, class is getting less attendance and we all know the reason.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The holidays are just around the corner; tomorrow in fact. The class is disintegrating and we are going different directions. Thinking back old times, I’m grateful to know W25J. The different people I met make my life more interesting. The fact is, meeting new people keeps me alive. Ever wonder if you only have a set of friends? Won’t that be boring? Just imagine, Aidi is always there when you are in need of a friend? Isn’t that great? Lolx.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">These two paragraphs is dedicated to my dear class W25J. Rewinding back to the second day of class (I didn’t come for the first day of school; Poly Forum commitment) I was known as the “facilitator” A person who came to class at 8.30am on the dot wearing white RP polo t-shirt and lanyard. To top it off, I was wearing a green lanyard. Seems familiar? I was there at the door, head peaking in and I asked, “Is this W25J?” The response? <span style=""> </span>“Yea” That’s all. These are the people who I grown to know very well.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Working as a team in this class without bickering is a first for me. In W25J, the atmosphere and surrounding is the perfect place to learn, the good and the bad. The Outings for the class is a memorable one for me. We went to the zoo, feed the kangaroos, “talking to the lions”, Siloso beach day and many others. We were a bunch of crazy students showing our humorous antics. We are already given the title young adults, but sometimes the child in us takes over our body; especially for me. I love to mix and mingle with them, and I thank them for making me part of the family.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, I’m here to wish all of you best of luck for year 2 and happy working for those who are earning money during the holidays. Do keep in touch and mix and mingle as we always do. I have just one request, </p> <p class="MsoNormal">“REMEMBER ME ALWAYS! AIDI WHO LOVES TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH”</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Regards,</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Aidi Sabari</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">SIT – DBA</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">W25J</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Ps: I love you all !!!!!!</p>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-81630042165617876492007-01-05T23:45:00.000+08:002007-01-05T23:49:58.696+08:002nd person charge; Wi-fi “mooching” to make “Bomb hoax”<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">I was reading the newspaper today and read that a 2<sup>nd</sup> person has been charged. He was alleged of using his neighbor’s unsecured wireless network to post a “bomb hoax” online.<span style=""> </span>Last year, it was a 17 years old Polytechnic student who was caught. It created a buzz among the enthusiasts in IT and Newspaper forum. I read with amusement about these entries.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">If I can remember correctly, there were many entries raising doubts and applauding the Government’s effort to tackle the problem. A person shared his views. I sum up his post as follows,</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><i style="">“An unsecured wireless network can be compared as a house without closing their doors. The owner has the responsibility to safeguard their own house for an obvious reason; preventing break-ins. If their house is broken in, it's the owner’s fault.”<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">The others who approved the Government actions gave interesting response. A person talked about being “barred from his own network”</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><i style="">“He was a lazy person who didn’t care about securing his wireless network. As days gone by, he noticed that his computer access to the internet got slower as his bandwidth was used up by unauthorized people.<span style=""> </span>He was shocked to find his own network “secured” after weeks gone by. He was puzzled as who had the authority to change his password. “<o:p></o:p></i></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">Another person talked about “common sense”</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><i style="">“No matter how a house is locked or not, it’s “common sense” that walking in a strangers house without their consent is consider breaking in. This people who enter houses can either be good or bad guys. A good guy may do no harm to the house but imagine what the bad guy can do. He can steal all the valuables without anybody knowing. In putting context of a wireless network, a person can download music illegally, download pornography, and hack into another persons’ website and many more.”</i></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">His entry actually came into a reality with today’s news. It seems that a guy has entered an unsecured wireless network and posted a bomb hoax in popular IT forum site; hardwarezone.com. Forum goers reported the incident to the police and police conducted their search. The first thing that they did was confiscating the person who gave the free network; not the culprit. It was after thorough investigation then he was nabbed and charged.</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing">I guess I have understood the reason behind charges against wi-fi “mooching”. However, I still have doubts on one part; a person can be charged to a minimum of 3 years jail. I read from an interesting political cartoon which mentioned this;</p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style=""> </span>2 people were talking to each other talking about the mooching buzz. One mentioned about the difference of jail time spent of cat killer and wi-fi mooching person. <span style=""> </span>“Cat killer spent 1 year’s jail while mooching person spent 3 years jail. Which action do you think is much more severe? Killing cats or free surfing? Then the second person mentioned, “It’s the ga-ber-ment law lor.”</p>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-53675905991845553912007-01-02T01:05:00.000+08:002007-01-02T01:11:14.155+08:00Solution to your ear problemDo you have that bad habit of sticking your pinky finger in your ear? Trying your best to get the hard sticky brown wax out? Are you scared of damaging your ear drum with those q-tip pins? <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">There’s a solution found in... <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">JAPAN</st1:place></st1:country-region>!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">An ear scratcher with an elephant design helps you to dig out that ear wax.

My dad’s prized Arowana was found in a small green bucket in the back toilet. It was all curled up and its eyes were protruding out.<p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">It must have “jumped” out of my dad’s 4 feet tank. This is the forth time and this time it’s not lucky as before. Previously, it’s either one of my family member who would try to catch the heavy fish and put it back where it “rightfully belongs; in a tank.”</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">The “pet” of the house was 2 years old when it “left us”. It was my dad’s favourite fish of all in the tank. It grew from a size of my thumb to a size that is 1.5 times of my 14.1 inch laptop screen.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB">Goodbye prized Arowana.

We had to endure for almost 5 years for a new OS to replace Windows XP. Adding to that, the current Office 2003 will be replaced by Office 2007 with its new friendly GUI (Graphical User Interface) idea.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>There are some bright students out there who had painstakingly devised a “pack” for Windows XP users to have a “feel” of Windows Vista in their PC or laptops. They had changed the GUI to a feel that is very close to the new OS. It’s amazing what these people can do!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>VTP (<st1:place st="on">Vista</st1:place> Transformation Pack) 6.0. That’s what these students have come up with. If you’d like a feel of <st1:place st="on">Vista</st1:place>, you can download it <a href="http://www.windowsxlive.net/?p=361" target="_blank">here</a><br /></p> <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I've downloaded an older version VTP 5.5 and I must say that I'm impressed with the work these people did. The Start, Log off, shutdown and many more other icons are changed.</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">Precaution: Download with care as this “pack” is not supported by Windows personal or have got anything to do with them.

It’s called “Adblock Plus”. A pretty handy tool if you hate those advertisements that keeps popping out everywhere in a page. It seems that every ad will blink and glitter using those nifty Flash software. It gives you a headache sometimes don’t you agree? Ever wonder how you could block all those nonsense?<br /><br />Now there’s a way to block them! This “Adblock Plus” add-on tool will rid all of it without any extra cost! <span style=""> </span>That’s not all! With all of these gone, your page will load faster than before; how wonderful is that?<p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">We have to thank Firefox and the creator of this awesome add-on tool for their stupendous creation.

I scoured the internet for the best sites to learn from. There were many sites to choose from and I was spoilt for choice.

In the morning, I’m supposedly having a badminton game with Sebastian and the others. After lunch, I had a Java workshop to try and complete my CE points. Later at night, I’m going out cycling with a friend of mine around my neighborhood park; just to take a breather of fresh air.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal">In these events, 2 out 3 of it had to be cancelled. I had a miscommunication with Xueli about the timing for badminton. The time was pushed to 1pm instead of 11am. I couldn’t make it due to the workshop that I had to attend. The organizer, Sebastian pulled out of the game because he had other plans. He did that without telling me earlier. Sebastian! Luckily I didn’t go out of the house in the early morning. If not, I’ll be rotting for the time to pass me by.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"></p> <p class="MsoNormal">After a quick grab of lunch, I went for the Java workshop. It was quite ok due to the fact that I had Sky by my side to help me. The IG helpers were there, but some of them don’t even know how to troubleshoot. It was also quite boring where you sit there and stare at codings and them telling you to “copy and paste”. It pissed me off. Then why you called this event a “workshop” I thought I’m supposed to learn something; but through “copy and paste” method? Well, maybe that’s how things work there. I guess I’m wrong to put them down. Bad Aidi.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">In between lesson, I received a message from Glenn. I misread the message and I thought it was a joke. I thought he told me this; “I’m now in hospital” It made me think; so what? I read again and it read, “I’m hospitalized, <st1:place st="on"><st1:placename st="on">Tan</st1:placename> <st1:placename st="on">Tock</st1:placename> <st1:placename st="on">Seng</st1:placename> <st1:placetype st="on">Hospital</st1:placetype></st1:place>” I was taken aback a little. He had some injury to his brain. Oh my, it must be serious.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">My night outing had to be cancelled as George and I decided to give Glenn a visit. Hey I shall tell you this, patients like him are bored, and we were there to make him feel happy. We took the MRT to Novena and headed to the hospital. We went inside the ward and before we could find Glenn; he found us! He waved at us frantically. We chatted for awhile before leaving the bed for awhile. Glenn had to take his “jab” This particular jab wasn’t an ordinary jab. He told me that it was a very long needle, poked at his spinal cord! Oh my! Imagine that being poked at you! Ironically after that “jab” he was back to normal! Laughing out loud as if nothing happened!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">George and I left at about 7pm and we wished him to get well soon. We then headed to <st1:street st="on"><st1:address st="on">Novena Square</st1:address></st1:street> and walked around for awhile before having our dinner. The both of us ended up in a fast food restaurant. We left for the MRT station after that and parted ways with each of us taking different train routes.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p> <span style="">I had an exciting day!</span>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1165762867256491262006-12-10T23:00:00.000+08:002006-12-10T23:01:07.270+08:00The past 5 days!<p class="MsoNormal">The start of holidays was what I wanted. There’s no more waking up early nor missing that double Decker bus. Sleeping early is no more in my daily timetable too. This is a luxury that I must treasure for a month. There are so many things to do and lots of time to finish!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>What a better way to start my holidays by having diarrhea! Yay! It’s Wednesday morning and I’ve already felt this “tingling” sensation in my stomach. A funny feeling that I knew wasn’t normal. Frequent “visits” to the toilet was my timely routine. It made me weak and I spent the whole day watching Starhub cable tv! It’s not the way I expected my first day of holidays to work out. At least I spent my day watching “Discovery, National Geographic, Animal Planet and etc” channels. Hey! At least I’m watching some educational television here! And of course, Nickelodean and Cartoon Networks included.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>In the next day, I felt a little bit better. The “visits” drastically reduced. My bowels are emptied and I felt hungry all day long. I gobbled up all the available food in the house. In between meals, I had runny nose. Throughout my life, sneezing almost everyday is part and parcel of my life. I thought nothing of it; until the next day.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>I woke up early in the morning to find myself sneezing non-stop. My head felt heavy and my nose was red. I used up all the tissues that was in the house! Again, I felt weak and I spent the day watching TV and did some room cleaning. It just made things worst. I sneezed all day long.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>My weekends didn’t look bright. After my sneezing period died down, I felt hot all over my body. My eyes were bloody red and felt as if it’s going to “pop-out” The days were spent trying to get to sleep or either thinking of something light to do. Sitting in front of my computer just makes my eyes watery.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>There goes my 5 days of holidays! The Sickness that wasn’t in my control. Things that I wanted to do have to be abandoned. I guess, my body just wants to purge out all the toxics inside! Hey, that’s not bad after all! </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p>D</o:p>ear Mr. Monday, I hope it’s going to be a great day for me tomorrow! I’m looking forward to that!</p>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1165161055932366122006-12-03T22:57:00.000+08:002006-12-04T00:03:41.933+08:00let it all out!Jordan and Joo Tze had already mentioned last few weeks about eating out. There were a few places in mind to choose from but they stick to their decision. All of the classmates were invited, but some of them had other plans. We had our feast yesterday; it was awesome! <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Coincidentally, there was an event in National Library Board (NLB) at Bugis area yesterday. I was there with 8 other girls to show our support for RP students! They showcased their international items at the event. I think the event was called “World On Wheels” They sold items such as Japanese Anime stuff toys, olden Chinese umbrella, malay congkak and many more! We saw <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Jordan</st1:place></st1:country-region>’s “humongous” poster. He makes me jealous; I want a huge poster for myself too! Our dearest friends Yun Yann and Jingying were there and we gave our best moral support for them!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Tired of walking around the push carts, we then set off to have something to drink. We end up in a “posh” kopitiam. We ordered dessert and gobbled them up fast before we even notice! Winnie, Samantha and I got “high” after eating 3 different desserts! We couldn’t stop laughing and sometimes choked on the desserts. Oh yes before I forget, I’m sorry Amabel for finishing your dessert! That “Rainbow Ice” was irresistible! </p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Right after that, I followed the girls for some picture taking! We went to this shop where there are a lot of machines for you to go in and be pretty! As always, I like trying different kinds of things and I followed suit with them and did some “cute” poses!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>It was already late afternoon by then and we rushed off to meet Wang Zhao. We ended up being early at the MRT station and waited for the others to come. There were about 9 of us and we walked to the eating place. It wasn’t the case though; there was a van specially “catered” for us.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>We ordered food and had a jolly good time! We ate as if there’s no tomorrow! After the food, we ended up teasing Joo Tze and Winnie. It was fun poking fun at them. Hey, no hard feelings ok guys? It’s good plain entertainment.</p> Lastly, we played pool to finish up our day. Incidentally, I met Glenn and Wilson who were there also! I caught up with them and we chat as if we have never met. After the game, we decided to walk back to the MRT station. I thought it was a short walk, but it took us more than 30 minutes! We ended up singing, talking crap and beat boxing! I’m the best at that one!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/1600/628980/DSC00242.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/200/107919/DSC00242.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/1600/341446/DSC00244.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/200/787207/DSC00244.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/1600/191224/DSC00253.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/200/754725/DSC00253.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/1600/196897/DSC00274.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1160/2872/200/361282/DSC00274.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><p></p>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1164470362178829752006-11-25T23:57:00.000+08:002006-11-27T18:00:18.056+08:00SLC Amazing Race 2006My team participated in this event and we called ourselves <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">“Avalon”</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> </span>The team consists of Louis (Team captain), Xue Li, Joo Tze, Nisha, Rui Yan and I. JT and I showed the true Singaporean Kiasu Syndrome. We had an extra shirt to compliment the ones already given! Also, we took extra bread for “ammunition” for the stomach. <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Evil</span>. <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>The first clue given was to go to <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Kembangan</span>! A perfect 22 stops away! After that, we went to <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Toa Payoh</span> and got lost. We did a lot of running there and got scolded by a bank staff! We didn’t know that we were running in a bank! It felt funny! <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">I’m sorry Mr. Bank Officer!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>The next stop was my favorite stop. We had to go to “<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Bedok MRT station</span>”. That place is my home ground! I showed the team around the place; especially Louis. I showed him where I stayed. I think I got a bit excited as I made him run fast with me! <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">Sorry Louis!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>The event made us run a lot! We took the MRT to get to all of our destinations. Amazingly, in every train that we were in, we sat on the floor and slept like logs! It was our own makeshift pit stop! It was a place to rejuvenate ourselves. We found the best place to sit; the ends of the train.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>In one of the train rides, I was told by my teammates that some “Ah Beng” gang wanted to take a picture of me! <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);">I</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;">’m famous! Yes! Take a picture of me!</span> Well, not really! I was seated on the floor sleeping peacefully. However, the sleeping position I was in must have caught their attention! I slept awkwardly I guess. Haha.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>Well that’s the highlight of the event! Now, Let’s see where the team went!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">RP </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Woodlands </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Kembangan </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Toa Payoh </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Bedok </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Yishun </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> </span><st1:place style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" st="on">Chinatown</st1:place><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);font-family:Wingdings;" ><span style="">--></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"> Dhoby Ghaut</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p>We finished the game at 4.30pm and waited for our dinner while the SLC members tabulate the scores.

A pretty quiet place with nice surroundings. I met up with Audrey in Kovan MRT station to get to the place together.<br /><br />George , James, Audrey, Carinn, Zaki and I were there in the Church to witness the event. It was a first for me. It was an eye opener for me. The event started with some singing and prayers and ended with vows from the newlyweds.<br /><br />We then had a small reception. The girls took some pictures for momento and the guys "squeeze" in to join. After that, we went to Vivo City as I had never been there before. A huge place with an outdoor place for us to chill.<br /><br />1. My advisor with his bride!<br />2. The boys...<br />3. Carinn.. with the boys<br />4. Audrey with the boys<br />5.

This is ontop of<span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"> every "wordy" text definitions and thick books that I got from the library</span>. It seems that I can't really apply what the books say to the problem statement for the day. Hmm.. I wonder why.<br /><br />So my concept is...<br /><br />"Demand meets supplier, consumer <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">high</span> demand means<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> high</span> supplier and vice versa.<br /><br />There wil be a problem comes out when small parts of the chain thinks the demand always goes "UP" when in actually fact it's actually backlog; inventory items that are not yet successfully given to the consumers. This means;<br /><br />New demand + Old demand (backlog) = Total order a company needs to comply with<br /><br />Then comes <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">Domino Effect</span> and worst <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">Bullwhip Effect</span>.<br /><br />------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />Other than that, I can't wait for this coming Friday and Saturday! why!?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday </span>- RP ultimate challenge 2006<br /> - The "<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255); font-weight: bold;">Avangarde</span>"<br /> - Louis, Aidi, Wang Zhao and JT<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday</span> - My dad's and 1st brother birthday<br /> - Dad's <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">63</span> years old this weekend!<br /> - he's "belanja-ing" us<br /> - free food!!!<br /><br /><br />Woot~aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1163425567724461542006-11-13T21:28:00.000+08:002006-11-13T21:46:07.740+08:00math module and course briefingSince the start of the new semester, I rarely missed math module. Day by day, I've started to dislike science module. This was a complete reverse from semester 1. I thought I liked science lessons very much. I think I'm going to suffer next semester.<br /><br />Push that topic aside; and today's topic is on exponential curve. Getting the answer is damn freaking easy. However, going through the process is tedious sh**. For example"You take a calculator, press the 2nd function andpress the button ex and key in a number that you like and.... wallah! you get the answer."<br /><br />That easy.<br /><br />Also in the day, I went for a course briefing for DBA. Of all who attended the briefing, I was the only one from SAS and the programme chair gave alot of attention at me. It will be big leap for me. A science student to a IT/business student.<br /><br />will my course transfer be accepted? yes? no?<br /><br />we'll see in the next coming weeks.<br /><br />With that, I pray to god to lead me to the correct path. This will be my biggest decision in my life and I don't want to make a regretful decision.aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1163309430301904902006-11-12T13:20:00.000+08:002006-11-12T14:06:39.596+08:00Past events<span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday 9/11/2006</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Advisors Party</span><br />A small party was held in the Club room to celebrate the upcoming wedding of our 2 advisors. (Wedding different partners; their not together :) James and the others ordered buffet food to supplement our hungry stomach.<br /><br />Audrey gave them presents bought by the club. The members had fun chatting, giggling and the best of all; talking crap.<br /><br />I wish the 2 X-synthes!s advisors happy up-coming wedding!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday 10/11/2006</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Hari Raya with ex 4i classmates</span><br />It's been a long time since the clique members went out. This hari raya event gave us the perfect opportunity to mix and mingle after going our separate ways. The numbers for the day was quite low, due to some classmates unable to attend having other things to do.<br /><br />Well that's a small thing. We went to 10 houses in one day! Inclusive of our dearest english teacher; Mdm Hamidah. Syahiid has grown alot. He's no pushover now; but he's still crap. :)<br /><br />The sun shiny day wasn't on our side. It rained heavily for the whole day! Unluckily for the girls, their hair got all messed up due to it. Nevertherless, it provided us with cool and windy day. It helps us to cool down. lolx.<br /><br />I reached home at about 11pm. I had fun with them and I hope this outing won't be the last.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pictures:<br /></span><font>1. X-synthes!s group photo (with Alvin & Bee)<br />2.

How time really flies past. I tried my best to be accustomed to the class culture. I had to throw away the feelings of sentimental value of my previous class. How sad.</p> <p class="MsoNormal"> I have been getting positive comments from all my facilitators so far. This doesn’t mean A’s for my daily grade though. This ranged from good presentation skills, being positively loud, good leadership skills and being active in group discussions. </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Hold your thoughts there. I’m not trying to brag here. This is all thanks to my previous class effort to bring PBL for good reasons. I had classmates who pushed each other to perform well. We discussed until we got fed-up with each other. My ex-class only ends after 4pm due to the fact that we asked too many questions. It’s hard to believe right? </p> <p class="MsoNormal"> Well, no more sentimental thoughts of previous class. The positive comments have made me strive to do better in my new class. In W25J, the discussion level is dangerously low. I’ve been praised for my leadership skills. With this, I hope to do my best to defend my team’s presentation well with common sense and well thought answers.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Haha.</p>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1158926986781371922006-09-22T19:56:00.000+08:002006-11-09T22:42:08.486+08:00My new class: W25JI attended my first lesson of the second semester in a new class. A totally new environment meeting new friends. I knew culture shock was abound to happen due to the pre-warnings given by my facilitators. 8.40am and I went into class.<br /><br /> The first thing that I did when I came into class was not to say "hi!" to everybody but to check whether I was in the correct class. I wouldn't want to be in the wrong class and feel "paise", lolx. I think my new classmates thought that I'm a faciliator! Since I was wearing an RP t-shirt and a lanyard. haha....<br /><br /> Then I realised that my new class has alot of girls! Amazed me quite a little. It's been male majority in my last class. I used to have only about 6-7 girls only and now it's a major boost with about 10-12 girls. Amazing! Unluckily no malay girls. So sad. lolx.<br /><br /> I was in group 4 with Sebastian, Rui Yan, JingYing and Leandra. A bunch of nice people. We had a math module today. The lesson was alright, not that hard nor easy. It was quite strange for me to present at the back of the class since I have been presenting infront of the class for the whole first semester no matter how hard i have to go back and forth to click on the mouse. Nobody was allowed to click unless yourself. It's true. Nyahaha...<br /><br /> Being in a new environment teaches me to be adaptable. Suiting to the class environment takes time. Gelling with each other member takes hard effort to break the ice.<br /><br /> That's all for now. :)<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1160/2872/1600/Me%20%283%29.jpg"><br /></a>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1158420889826701962006-09-16T23:12:00.000+08:002006-09-16T23:34:50.066+08:00i'm obliviousAfter graduating from my secondary school, i've been quite oblivious to many of my secondary schoolmates (those from the same batch and some juniors). It's quite sad actually. I've known quite alot of them (not really that close but still... they are my friends) Am I a ghost or what? haha..<br /><br /> Recently I went to Downtown East to watch a malay concert at D'marqee (is that the correct spelling? lolx). I went with my parents and as usual it's crowded with people strolling around with some babies in tow and bla bla bla...<br /><br /> While walking to the "big tent" i saw two of my friends walking towards my direction. One was of the same age as me while the other is my year younger student council friend. SO that means she will NOTICE me. I'm her senior, lolx. I gave them a big <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">"Aidi Smile"</span> and a right hand wave and what do I get? A big "muke sotong" reaction! haha... haiya what to do?<br /><br /> Another event took at "Popular" bookstore where I saw a junior browsing through the books. I gave another <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">"Aidi Smile"</span>. So what do I get? An irk face from him! waahh... <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">I'm NOT trying to flirt with you la boboi! </span>Just to say hi in a smiling way. Wah, the reaction..... I just feel like punching the face.<br /><br /> I'm not trying to blame these people here for not replying graciously to my heartwarming acknowledgement that I know a person near me is <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">not a GHOST </span>nor a <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;">STRANGER</span> but a friend of mine. Of course, if you are a stranger I won't even lift those precious mouth muscles! lolx.<br /><br /> Am I wrong to say this? maybe. Maybe not. Maybe some people will only reply back if you pester in their face? or maybe some people just can't be bothered?<br /><br /> It's all <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;">SUBJECTIVE</span> to individual preferences.aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1158250897746196762006-09-15T00:09:00.000+08:002006-09-15T00:25:45.476+08:00upcoming Poly Forum 2006I've got hold of the blazers and yeah it feels GOOD to be wearing it. I feel like an "VVIP" in the black blazer. It makes me look smart too. I took the blazers, a tie, tiepin and a badge. The tie was big, bigger than my secondary school's tie.<br /><br /> Just because I'm wearing the blazer, I went to shop for a white collared shirt and a leather shoe. I've never had long sleeve shirt in my closet and this was the first. The "pioneer" shirt for the years to come. Nyehehe... The shoes, hmmm.... very cool looking. It has these squared front cut and it is a heel shoe. It feels kind of weird to be wearing heels, not that kind of ladies heels but still.... I can feel the "levitation" wearing it. haha... The shoes are already "seasoned" after the long and winding walk around town with George and Eunice yesterday. Yep, it's true.<br /><br /> Hmm.. poly forum. Sub theme 4.1. I shall congratulate my team for finishing their project earlier than other groups. And oh yeah, their skit is awesome, by looking at the pictures of children smiling away. And yeah George, you look YOUNG there even though you're not. Michelle (if the name's correct, she's the same age as you) and you were awesome! holla!<br /><br /> Few more days to Poly Forum and after that my worries are OVER. It's a four day event and RP students will miss the opening day of semester 2! uwahahaha!! miss school... miss school... yahoo!!<br /><br /> I'm still wondering who are my classmates and when the RP admin staff going to tell me which class I'm in? Very nervous. I don't want a class that is anti-social, blacksheeps, backstabbers and others. I can't live with this people. haha.. pray... pray.... pray.....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1160/2872/1600/aidi.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1160/2872/320/aidi.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27295959.post-1158161289031691442006-09-13T23:04:00.000+08:002006-09-13T23:28:09.286+08:00my tourist guideGeorge became my tourist guide for today. No offence George! Today we had a seminar talk by some Life Sciences professors and it was held in NLB. For the record, Yes George! this is my first time going to NLB! woot! haha... and yeah, it's been a long time since I went to Bugis. You know the Bugis Junction and all that stuff.<br /><br /> We attended the hour long talk getting "enlightened" for various ways a science diploma holders to further their studies. There were professors from NUS, NTU and CQU (Central Queensland University) giving their take on degree courses.<br /><br /> After that we went to "jalan-jalan" to an adjacent building to go to a music shop "Swee Lee Ptd Ltd" I wanted to have a look at the guitars. As usual, the price range were hitting the top, with one reaching over $2,000! Then we went to look at 2nd hand book stores while waiting for Eunice to join us for lunch at Bras Basah.<br /><br /> So, from Bugis the 3 of us went to Bras Basah to have our lunch. It was a LONG walk! While walking, our "tourist guide" show us the good food makan places we should go and all the fun places we missed. It was a "historically enriching experience" to look around Singapore. The moment I was there, I ate my food so fast I finished first!<br /><br /> We were then led to the upper level shops where George showed me all the Army stuff that I need to know where to get from. When we finished, Eunice was still shopping for her clothes. LoL... No offence.. hehe....<br /><br /> After that was the most treacherous walk i've ever walked. Walking from Bras Basah to Somerset! ahh!! I was wearing a leather shoe and it gave my heels a real work out today. I'm having leg cramps and numbness. Oh yeah, the feeling of pain is "awesome" nyehhee...<br /><br /> Watched a movie titled "spelling bee" or something like that with the inclusion of James. The show was quite good, with every "frame" of that movie had someone spelling some "bombarstic" words you would never use in your entire life. For example, "Solartreacherous" I think the meaning is "sun hill' or something like that. But WTH normal people would actually use in daily life!! Why make your life so difficult? haha... It was really interesting, it made us spell words even after watching the movie! For example, George said this, "I'm going to the t-o-i-l-e-t" nyeahhaaha.....<br /><br /> We then had our dinner and chit chat for quite some time. We set off home at about 8pm in the evening.<br /><br /> Now, I know how a lady feels wearing a heel shoes. Even though men heels are not as high as theirs, I can feel the slight pain. I'm not used to wearing leather heel shoes you see. Uwahaha! Strong man cannot complain! haiyo.. ok, no pain now... but still.............<br /><br /> <span style="font-size:130%;"> wakao, Where's my tiger balm?

It almost made me to blurt out vulgarities because of these external factors i will share with you people. My club had an outreach teaching PBL to the community. Of all days, SUNDAY was chosen! ARgh! So many things happen today! wakao! The "stress" that i had was unbearable.<br /><br />I woke up at 5.15am to get ready for school. YES!! 5.15am for school! My club had arranged for a bus ride that will be arriving at 7.20am. SO i had to prepare early just in case I miss the public bus. After all, I live in the East Coast GRC and i had to travel up north. This would take me 1 hour to go to school. Yes, A SOLID 1 HOUR from Bedok Interchange to Woodlands Interchange.<br /><br />After i've changed and all, I waited for the bus near my house at about 5.45am. Listening to my favourite Radio channel while patiently waiting for the bus. But this F***ing bus didn't come for a solid 1/2 hour! It pissed me off EARLY IN THE MORNING! I had no choice but to go to the community place straight by taking the MRT. It was a long painful butt journey.<br /><br />I took the MRT and unluckily arrived at Tiong Bahru MRT Station early that i expected. Damn, it's only 7.30am and the event starts at only 8.30am! Argh! Luckily there's a Newpaper to read and burn time.<br /><br />I board a bus at about 8am to reach the place. HOWEVER, I didn't! Instead of reaching the place, the bus when to City Hall, you know the St Andrew Cathedral Church? wakao! I took the correct bus BUT wrong direction!! ARGH!!!! I even saw Army people running all sweaty and i don't know why. I totally went off course!<br /><br />I had no choice but to take MRT from City Hall back to Tiong Bahru. Another bad thing happened, I had a stomachache! you know, tapien? (if my spelling is correct) Wakao, I cannot tahan the "feel" man! This thing all happen at about 8.20am and i'm trying to rush myself to the place!<br /><br />However I did reached at the end. Hey, happy ending. But, in the event that my club attended we had to teach PBL to the students and it was quite hard to break the "strangers-friend" ceiling as everybody was shy (not me of course, lolx) Um, the event went smoothly and the students grasp what we teached.<br /><br />That was what we came to achieve. By then, a lesson learnt. When you don't know of a place, ask the bus driver the place! don't be shy or try to act cool! You might end up in some urban jungle and meet sweaty Army people who you don't even want to get close to!!<br /><br />Lastly, here are some pictures from the event.aidisabarihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00670317864729868109noreply@blogger.com0
