So I was out today with Vivi (also known as ah zhen as of late) on Christmas eve and she's telling me how one of our girl friends Peiqi was saying how she'd never spend Christmas at someone else's home with a turkey and a logcake before. So I said turkeys are for Thanksgiving too--right around my birthday =3
And I told her how you can stuff a chicken and a duck into a turkey. A Turducken basically. She gawked at me and accused me of kidding her. I mean, I'm for serious! I'm telling the truth! Cross my heart and all...
And then, I told her how someone managed to stuff 10 or 17 different birds into each other--can't remember if it's 10 or 17. Which probably isn't the right thing to do after she accused me of kidding her but it's the truth! Really! I'm not kidding.
Look! I've got proof! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turducken#Variations

Machine + Human Failure
So we got screwed again. For FYP. Typical really. It had gone down somewhat like Ore-sama had predicted. Lucky I told nat not to schedule for anyone to come down yesterday.
So we got back to school yesterday and checked the system. Internet down. gdaqsys won't open. Like omfgwtfbbq!!! Matlab's command history shows the last key was entered on 14th Dec... which is like last Friday... which is like 5 days before we went down.
LIKE, YOU BLOODY BASTARDS CAN'T JUST SEND AN EMAIL OR SMS TO TELL US THAT THE SYSTEM IS DOWN AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO FUCKING USE ANYTHING UNTIL AFTER THE BIRTHDAY OF CHRIST?!?!?!?!??!!??!
@#$%^&@#$%^@#&(*$%^$%$@#%%&*
And today, the real agenda for going back to school is to have McBreakfast with Vivi. No really. We woke up like 8am in the morning and got to school around 9.30 just to have McBreakfast. We also sorta confirm the system being unable to work with the lab in-charge and like, that man can talk cock. He kindly informed us that every time a new FYP group comes in, the system dies at least once.
LIKE, YOU CAN'T BLOODY WELL CHECK THE SYSTEM BEFORE ANY FYP GROUP ENTERS THE LAB??!!?!?!?!?

When not on form, do not play pool
And today, unable to do anything, we went over to botherbotherbother Vi and since she needed help for her OpenGL, nat helped out. I just sat around and look at logic flow. But with my own logic as base... well, you know the rest. :P
Being decidedly unuseful, we left NTU and went to play pool at this newly opened pool hall at Katong Shopping Center. Quite a good cheap place to play in the afternoon away. sodiumion's been playing pool for 3 out of 5 days already but it's addictive and we wanna hustle like SPN's Sam and Dean. Dean mostly. <3 Sam can get by with his puppy eyes easily.
Today just isn't our day. We spend the first 3 minutes sinking the first ball of the first game. Like, totally a bad omen. I kept missing my shots and shooting em crooked and nat managed to do a couple of jump-shots--the cue-ball-completely-missing-the-numbered-balls-and-right-into-the-pocket type. It's an incredible feat on its own actually. Who can jump-shoot balls right into the pocket like that!!
*_* It's times like these that I wish my brain was androidized like those in Ghost In The Shell so I can record everything I see and hear and playback and mass-send em to everyone.

omfg... That scene's cute but like seriously... ghey old men?? O_o
I brought out Saiunkoku manga book 2 to read on the way to school/back home and towards the end of the book, it's like omfg... ghey old men! Like, really old men. Like wrinkly 80 year old men.
There's a scene with this younger man with this dying old man and the old man is telling the younger man how they'd spent 50 years together and all that jazz and the younger man is telling the old man how he loved him and all that mushy stuff AND THE YOUNGER MAN STUCK HIS WHOLE FUCKING HAND THROUGH THE OLD MAN'S CHEST AND THERE'S THIS GLOWY FIREFLY-GLOW LOOKALIKE GLOW!!! O_O Much ghey very old men love desu.
And there's a cute scene with 2 other old men. Slashy tones and nothing graphical (like who would actually wanna see 2 really old foogies go at it?! o_O) but it's cute! Really!!
Here it is!!! Clicky clicky~

It's gonna get long like all my other rant posts so I'll be a good blogger and separate em nicely.

So nat got her friend to come be our guinea pig help us today and that her friend of hers have like the most flexible, stretchable minutes and seconds that I've ever seen.
From meeting at 9am to give her a lift from Kembangan to NTU, to oversleeping and ETA in NTU at 11am, to finally showing up in NTU at about 12.30pm.
Well... beggars can't be choosers.

Our lab in-charge Dr Yu picked today to decide to come in and solve our data reading problem that had been going on for like at least 2 months now. He had actually wanted to do it yesterday but we had zaid all gelled and hooked up so he wisely backed away.
So he came in with 2 person from the local g.tec branch to check out our stuff and uninstalled and reinstalled and did all sorts of rubbish to the computer. And ended up with us being unable to get data that had been recorded these past week. On top of that, the 16-channel data acquisition device is being recognized as having 17 channels and the notch filter default changed from 50Hz/60Hz to 58Hz/68Hz.
Like, wtf am I gonna do about the extra 1 channel??!! I can't take it out of the recording and I can't hide it coz they did not have the option for more than 16 channels! And, even if Dr Yu says the 58Hz/68Hz could actually be 50Hz/60Hz, how would I know if that's true??!!??!! What if we start recording with it and it really is doing filtering at 58Hz or 68Hz?? THE WHOLE POINT OF NOTCH FILTERING IS TO REMOVE POWER LINE INTERFERENCES AT 50Hz OR 60Hz! =_=

Unable to do anything today, we got out of school at 2.30pm and wanted to go scream our lungs out at a ktv near her house but when I called to check if there's any available rooms, I was informed that the next free slot is at 5pm. Like wtf...
So nat suggested KBox near Parkway Parade (which is also nearby). What do you know?? They closed. Everything was getting torn down. =__="

Bad things *do* come in threes, people. Poor sodiumion though... she's got an extra 4th whammy with her Matlab. Mac laptops, no matter how l337 and <3<3<3 and awesome they are, are forever the bane of engineering students. No one makes engineering programs run on Mac OS as readily as XP and it's harder to look for pirated stuff for Mac too =P
As I'd always told everyone, I'll only get a Mac after I graduate and is out of the engineering field. Preferably if I'm in the journalism field. I'll be put those googling skills to good use now wouldn't I? Lol...

It's been a while since I last posted on the stupidity of people I meet on public transportations.
This morning, in a rather packed train, after standing to my left for like a whole of 7 stops, this Indian guy decided to move in and began squirming and snaking his way to his right (a.k.a. where I was standing) and settled right in front of me. With his ass grinding my bag which I had slung in front of me.
...My bag feels so violated. But it *is* a crowded train so all's okay.
This evening, in another rather packed train, after standing slightly behind me for a whole of 3 stops, this Chinese girl decided to move in front of me and began squirming and snaking her way past my left and settled there. The train decided to do the jerking thing they like to do when people are not properly balanced and the girl stepped on my left slipper while trying to regain her balance.
Good thing my toes weren't in the way of her stomp. But she said sorry so all's okay.
...Then she decided to play her PSP without holding onto anything and I fear for my toes.
And I reached my stop and got off onto a rather packed platform, queueing to get down the escalator to make my way down and this China lady kinda cuts in from my left while yapping nonstop like the China Chinese lady that she is and started to make her way IN FRONT OF ME. So I also kinda make my way to the front of her not-so-discretely and she had the nerve to keep bumping me from behind.
...All is not okay. So I ignored her bumping and got onto the escalator before her. The bitch. HA!!
