What's New / What's Not / What the dot dot dot

Okay I saw this link that was shared by a friend on facebook and I cannot resist putting this up here.

Sigh.

Time

Why does every single thing on the planet want my time these few weeks?

Every. Single. Thing.

except single women.

Sigh.

Onward.

LASERTAG!!!!!!

My workplace organised a lasertag shootout day two days ago and it was AWESOME!!!!!




The RED team.. (they lost)























The GREEN TEAM!!
































































And I seldom get photos of me so..





























































and my personal favourite - Looking for trouble

























ONWARD.

NOT hard at work

So it turns out that our research centre for featured in a recent article in Physics Today.

And we got our pictures taken during our morning coffee...

Evidently, one of my slightly more awake mornings......

New layout!

Okay this design is a bit emo but i'll optimise it over the next few weeks....

SIGH

Right so this is a few months late but I'll just post it here and then try to forget about it. I had this really sad dream one night.. Just completely sad and.. ah i'll just write it.

*scene is girl and me walking along some very nice place with shady trees and bright blue sky*
*we walk along in silence for a while, then she suddenly leans over and holds on to my arm*

*I am slightly surprised, but then I ask her:*

"Are you going to get back together with him?"

to which she replies "Yes"




and so I sigh, shake my arm free and walk on without turning back..

Onward. (haha)

Beautiful

This one is just too beautiful for me to ruin with any attempt at describing the situation, so do refer to this link for the original post.

Quick reflection

I have a few hours to go before my first graduate module exam - PC5210 Advanced Dynamics, and I just feel I have to say a few things before I go back to casting my spells.

I actually understand it.

No shit right? I mean, what one earth do we go to school for? But all these convoluted equations that hit you quick and hard, look absolutely HORRIBLE. Not to mention, that everything folds back onto itself. They start somewhere and then show that the answer has repercussions in so many different places.

AND ALL THE EQUATIONS LOOK THE SAME.

But anyhow...

I am now forced to be brave and study now, and it turns out that when you stare hard enough, the goats will actually die.

wait.

i mean when you stare hard enough the equations start to make some sense.

Go with the flow

I remember asking a friend to go with the flow at some point..

Turns out there was more to what I said than anyone (myself included) understood!

Research

Quantumness!

Because i'm studying, and because i vaguely recall someone complaining about studying chinese on Facebook a while back (was it Annette?)


—-Einstein-“Quantum-Mechanics-Real-Black-Magic-Calculus”-Feynman- -

Felicia, eat your heart out.

Tired

I am so tired its ridiculous...

I wish I could sleep in, but I don't think I am going to get much rest till the last day of school this semester..

End of this undergraduate journey

Soooo here it is.. I finally got my graduation letter saying all the stuff about having some degree conferred on me and whatnot (even though technically I graduated in November 2009). I have to say that i didn't really feel much upon opening the letter.. After all I'm still doing modules and going to school, trying to figure out things and get my assignments done..

I guess I never really took the time to let go and take a break in December. I was busy scurrying around doing up my M.Sc. application forms and sorting out stuff for YPM Camp 2009.

A lot has happened to me over the past few years, ever since I joined science orientation week with some really fun people in 2006, and then found myself a Physics major all of a sudden.

So far I have

1) made great friends

2) broken up once

3) kept some promises

4) broken others

5) been confused by many theories

6) understood as many of the above theories i could

7) detected my desperate lack of mathematical skill

8) tried to fix it by pursuing a second major in Mathematics

9) some reasons to celebrate

10) many reasons for regret


bittersweet. oh so bittersweet.

Toxic levels

Holy crap its been an insane afternoon. Nothing really happened, but the massive blast of emo-ness left me reeling and confused. Not that there were any major decisions to be made, but i did do a lot of reflecting during the past week.

So i started on my programming assignment and realised it wasn't going to work out so i'm now in the office with dual screens hoping it will help somehow..

Right.

No recent decisions means i just have to go ahead with the previous ones. duh. simplest of logical reasoning.

Onward.

Insane week

I just want to say that this is an insane week...

Onward.........

So much to say

Okay here's some good news!

My prof recently spoke to me and told me to fill up a form that qualifies me as a graduate research student!

This means i get paid by the hour (up to some maximum number of hours each week)!

This is really quite surprising... and in some strange way I actually feel more motivated to concentrate my efforts into creating more efficient hours..

But things are getting dicey.. I still have modules to undertake and this means exams to study for..

Sigh now I know why the coffee is good. It HAS to be, or the researchers would be rioting...

Onward.

Guess who's back... Back again...

Okay i haven't been blogging for ages but this post is just for me to get used to the idea again..

And i guess i should change the look of this for fun..
