An hour in Lim Kok Wing

I am glad that I am in MMU.

Before enter there, we all have an impression that Lim Kok Wing University is not normal class university, means, everything will be expensive, best facilities, highly creativity.

When we are there, both sides of road are parked with cars. The parking lot in campus is not enough, and to our surprise, parking inside campus need to pay RM1 each hour, even for visitors.

3 guys, me, Su, and Hao, all first time to LKW(Lim Kok Wing), to have lunch. We planned to go there for almost a year, worst is, we passing by everyday, just never turn in there, haha.

The Wings. In their central plaza.

A wide view at their central plaza.

This is their food court, their saloon, their cafe, their hangout places.

Saloon
I not sure is there 5 saloons, or 1 saloon with size of 5 shop lot. But definitely, even is free, I won't try it. Not sure the guy with scissor is a newbie or a pro~

Oh no~

Food Court
They have a major food court, name MakanLah~ They sell all kind of foods, from Western to Eastern, Chinese and Malay food, everything. We are not surprise that the price is high, as all students here don't give a damn to price.

Food court, MakanLah~

Cafe
The most popular cafe(and the only 1, I think), is Wings Cafe. Quite good image, but I never have chance to try yet. Beside coffee, they have other branches and sub products, like Satay, burger, hotdogs, etc. Not only in their Central Plaza, they have small coffee shop around campus, like library.

1 of their sub product.

Students
A big different compare to MMU students. Consist mostly of international students from all around the world, especially Middle East.

Attire: No dress code.
What they carry: Cell phone, PSP, cigarettes.
What they don't carry: books.
What rule they don't give a damn: smoking.

A concert was going on when we are there, a live band. Good instrument, suck singer, as usual. MMU band not good either.

See this guy who looks like lecturer, but don't know how to read 'NO SMOKING', is smoking under the sign!

I found that a lot old seniors in LKW are wearing black suit like those in the upper pic, I assume they are lecturers, but,.... all holding cigarette in their hands.

This is the long corridor, I think is their lecturer or tutorial room, or whatever room they call it. Arts on the wall on both sides. (ignore the fat lady)

Accessibility
The campus is quite small, and can travel around in campus easily by walking. But to come to LKW, the only way is using car and public transport, because no hostel in campus for students, and nearest accommodation is Cyberia, beside MMU.

At last, I am in LKW~

Thought:
This is not my style, really. In there, everything is money, cigarette, and enjoyment. I can't feel the learning environment in there. I am glad I am in MMU, I am glad I know you.

Apes In Space

Ha! This is not a movie title, instead just a small compilation of what pulling my attention these days.

Everyone knows First human space, Yuri Gagarin, but do everyone knows the first Animal in space?

After some Wikipedia trip, I found that first animal in space is fruit flies.

Fruit flies! Are you kidding!? No, it's real.

Later testing was monkeys, chimpanzees, and dogs. Great Apes (human, monkey, orang utan, gorilla) are primary choice, as they having high percentage match with human and high intelligent.

First Monkey in Space
His name is Albert, very nice name. A rhesus monkey, sacrificed during real time rocket experiment/on the sky, 11 June 1948.

So do his 6 apprentices in later attempt.

The first living being to successfully back to Earth is a rhesus monkey name Baker.

This is baker~ Cute.

Later in Mercury program, 2 most identical Chimpanzees, Ham and Enos, were sent to space. Both chimpanzees successfully back to Earth. These 2 are my favourite, why? Don't know, feel more relative connection with Chimpanzee than monkey.

Enos! The one on right side, not left side.

Ham the Chimp in his space capsule.

During the training and real time launching, both chimps were trained to do simple task like push up lever and press button when red lights on. The training was hard, if the chimps cannot do it in 5 seconds, a mild electric shock will be applied to their feet; if they do it correctly, a banana tablet will be awarded.

Info said that, during the flight of Enos, some machine failure occured , which when Enos push the right button, electric shock applied; and when did it wrongly, banana tablet given. But Enos courageously press the right button and get shock in the whole 2 days journey, and back to Earth safely. My Hero!

Those Great Apes who successfully back to Earth, living peacefully for rest of their lives. When Ham died at 29, he was buried at New Mexico Museum of Space History, while Baker buried at US Space and Rocket Center.

To those Apes Who sacrificed their life before us, you all prove that your species are much courageous than us.

One day when monkey is smart enough to have current human intelligent, will they question about their ancestors who travel space?

I doubt in 100 years time Great Apes beside human still exist? Protect our nearest family, don't buy their skins or meats.

I am bad, haha.

This morning I opened up fridge, and saw 2 boxes of J.CO(or Big Apple?) donuts, with name written. OK, this post may confusing.

1. 2 boxes of donuts are belongs to 2 of my housemates, Su and Yeoh.
2. Su, aka STW, wrote his name on the his box, and for fun, he wrote POC(piece of crap) on Yeoh's donut box.
3. Later, I opened up fridge, and my hand also itchy, so I wrote 'sucks' after the name of STW.
4. STW found out someone added some words to his box, so he suspected Yeoh saw the POC wording on his box, so Yeoh revenged.
5. STW cancelled out the 'sucks' word, and told me the story.
6. I laugh, and told him later Yeoh come back ask him, haha.

Su still don't know that is me who wrote SUCKS on his box, wait he see this post first la, haha!

Easy way to check hexadecimal arithmetic

Last few days I am busy for Machine Architecture Lab Test, busy busy.

What is Machine Architecture?
An art to teach you how to talk with the piece of silicon, damn!

During the study, I encounter a time wasting process, which is doing hexadecimal arithmetic operation. In human way, 5+5 = 10; in hexadecimal way, 5 + 5 = A !!!!!

So I Google for some program to do hex math, and I found Google Calculator is the most easiest to access and simplest, and the best part, fast and free!

What is Google Calculator?
Good, you using it everyday, just didn't notice. It's actually combined with Google search.

See this magic.

0x5 + 0x5 =? Press Enter.
(0x5 is actually 5h in our syllabus, means hexadecimal form.)

 

  Answer is 0xA~~

It also can do other operation like subtraction, multiplication, and division. At least enough for my current syllabus.

 

How about conversion?

No problem! With the syntax like HEX=?DECIMAL.

 

The other way, no problem too. reverse the syntax.

 

Multiple operations can be handled too.

 

Lab test was over, final paper is coming, hope this "exploration" can help my friends in their study. But careful, before use this tools, please make sure you know how to do manual arithmetic and conversion, there won't be any Google in exam hall to help you.

full Google Calculator instruction can see here, beside this simple maths, it also can use to convert physic quantity like speed; math function like modulus(%) and factorial(!).

SNS going wrong.

So long time never join the gang for SNS, Saturday Night Skates.

Yesterday's SNS was at Kepong. Depart from Cyberjaya with Xuan Hao, Su, and Hao, heading to TTDI Skateline.

However, the god damn weather just know where we want and what time we going to skate, it will just rain at the moment! Every time!Thus SNS CANCELLED. The location is in a car park, which I assume is a close car park where rain water cannot enter, but it just like Titanic, no matter how many giant floating chamber in it, it still sank.

End up we at 1 Utama, having KFC for dinner, and walk around. Suddenly an idea of skating in Putrajaya appeared, so we went there to check out.

NO RAIN. NO RAIN. TOTALLY DRY IN PUTRAJAYA.

Xuan Hao is the first time went to Putrajaya skate, and seems like he can quite handle all drains and steps, congrates!

And at last I gain enough confident to do stair slide (is this the terms?) on big stairs!

Next time challenge Batu Caves Stairs, haha, kidding!

Funny thing we had yesterday was, 2 security guards warned us not to skate in Putrajaya.

Guard: "Sini tak boleh skate lah."

Hao: "Tak boleh ar?"

Guard: "Tak boleh, ini lantai, tak boleh." (pointing the hard pavement)

Me: "Bicycle boleh tak?" (Just to test him)

Guard: "Bicycle boleh." (lucky he said can, else how to explain so many bicycle sign along the road.)

Since we all are packing to go back, we don't argue more, but, hey! If they worry that our skates will break their pavement and lift up their tar road, so how about the motorbike they riding on the pavement? How about those vehicles with with weight more than 1500kg?

They just anti skaters, with no reason.

Secret Code
We think that the sky can listen to what we talking, if we said want to skate today, then it will rain; if we said we don't skate, then it won't rain. So next time if we want to skate, we will just use a secret sentence, "Tonight want to die ar?".

Help you?

I can teach you do homework.
I can listen to your problem.
I can assist you chase to the girl you like.
I can lend you some money if you need. (Some)
Can you do this homework for me? All. Fuck you.

I hate people use me. I mean USE me, like they hired me and pay me salary, which is actually not.

If you don't know how to do, I give you hints and examples;

If you don't know where to start, I lead you;

If you straight come to me and put down ALL the questions and want me to finish it ALL, and say want to leave immediately and come back to collect the answer later. Before today, I do it for you; after yesterday, I will say GFY.

Help you? Or do for you?

Little Dinosaur in my Printer

While I studying for exam, suddenly, I saw a small lizard on my table.

I don't move, see what the lizard going to do. It crawled, crawled, crawled, crawled over the wires, and....

hoi! Don't even think about it! Hey!

And the lizard crawled into my printer!

See? The lizard is doing Cicak-Man show in my printer.

I turn around the printer, hitting the bottom to make it out, but it's so tough, still sticking up side down. At last, it crawled into some part where I can't see it.

Here I give you a chance, you better crawl out, and I won't hurt you. Don't die in my printer, please~~

这不是我要的

Differentiate of 1 is? x.

我把这张考卷搞砸了。

现在是半夜3点，刚刚从The Curve回来，朋友带我去散心。

左手上戴着荧幕显示空白的手表，

在想着为什么会这样。

没温习吗？不是，我是很有信心的去考的；

小学时，考试对我来说是不需要到课本去的时候；

中学时，考试对我来说是一种目的；

大学时，考试对我来说已经是多余了。

因为分数不能决定我的未来，但我却不能放弃它。

我看见身边好多朋友都对上了大学出现反感，而我虽然在他们的部落格留下鼓励的文字，但我是真的感觉到这股巨大的差别。

我发现到，好难沟通；在同一课室上课快一年了，我却不知道他们的名字。我在这里的朋友都是在参与活动后才认识的，要是什么都不参与，我什么都没有，所以我很珍惜每一次的活动参与和尽力的付出。

超高的自由度，让人很容易失控；一举一动都是自己的决定，没人能干涉，选择进步或堕落，自己来。朋友可能会帮你，但最后还是要靠自己。我是还没见过像其他国立大学里常出现的欺压和自私自利的现象。

感情问题？哈。问我啦～不乐观。

心情超烂的。听听周杰伦的《三年二班》，心情会比较好。
