For thoes robotics faithful. Here we go.

Just went to Parkway LEGO CENTRE. Crestar. Man i like the girl organiser. Left one impression on me. Sure hope we left one IMPACTFUL one on her. Keep saying can get special price if we join. Funny sia. Somemore ryan say got other private people joining. Lol. waiting to see who. I see the map. I think its ok. Possible full mark map. Anyway. I dowanna think about it man. YO DUDE O LEVELS. Freakin discard everything about robotics. FORGET ROBOTICS. Think books!

Reults fully released on Wed. If u see me blog right on Wed. then it could be tj, aj, sa or even nyjc.. here i come. Otherwise.. Lets go bang the wall and rot for three months. Lol. Bettter be either tj or sa. Sa looks more prominent than tj tho.

Anyway for thoes sec4's out there. Slack while you can. Then study while you can. For me? No maple, robotics and of cos vball. STUDY YO!

I chanced upon a very old issue of Psychology Today( it's an American magazine, please don't ask how I found it) and I saw a part on "Six degrees of Separation". What's that? I'm no expert in psychology, so I took a look anyway. It turns out, it's the theory that anyone, I repeat, anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries. Five. Plus, it's been proven by American sociologist Stanley Milgram. He asked participants in Midwest of America to send a package to a stranger in Massachusetts. They were to pass it on to someone whom they felt was the most able to pass the package to the stranger the fastest, and this is repeated on.

It was expected to take hundreds, even thousands of intermediaries before the package reached the target, but it only took on average 5-7 people. So, if I wanted to send a package to, say, some person in Africa, it would probably take at most 9-10 people! Pretty interesting theory, I am thinking of some way to test it out in Singapore.

-above was adapted from shanglong. interesting indeed. he said he got it from a psychological mag. but i cant see it what way is this psycological. but its very incredible and unbelievable. i've got similar thoughts with him as to how to test it out. but i'm a step different from him. imagine the things we can do. good or bad. positive or negative. its really something to think about.

Anyway can anyone share the symptoms and the signs of Dengue? I've got a mosquito bite. And i think there are others who are also going more hysterical than me when this see a reddish bump on their skin. Will we die? Omg. Cant remember from where. But someone or something (maybe from the papers) once gave me the idea that with growing affluence and space-shrinking teachnology (my god, geog..) human's immunity is weakening. Like when SARS hit, our body is too weak to form some kind of immunisation against it. Similarly when this dengue shit hits, maybe a 1cm flying, irritatting and irky insect and bring down a human with a towering height of 2m. 1cm to 2m. Thats what i call a thrashing knockout. For cockroaches, they have very good immunisation strength within them. Say you use a certain pesticide. Shieldtox. You dont change brands or version and stick with it. Everytime you see a cockroach you spray. After a period of time, you see a cockroach and you spray again, you only see him flip his body upside down, show you its private parts and its wiggling and shaking ass. Then flip itself back and continue crawling across the floor. Actually I dont really know if thier private parts can be seen when they flip their body. But I know they can grow, form or adapt to thier evironment so well that something inside thier body can defend and build an immunisation against the poison in the pesticide. So likewise, i guess our body is supposed to be similar to them and can form immunisation against diseases. But like what I've said. We're weakening. The human species is weakening. Now we can lose to a 1cm fella. So yea, morale? Small is power.

First link is the picture of me deploying sumobot. Second is anything you wanna know. Read my post on WRO about Slalom. Then see the maze for yourself. White walls and all. Find my best friend Sinhong from Fuhua with identical uniform with CCHS (metal buttons) deploying the robot. He got 1st. Fuhua 1st. Singapore 1st. Exo? ha.

21 ppl came today. ok minus me. its 20.

So i have 20 people who knows how to come into this website? Looks like its time to change the password. Hais. What to do when you have blogger-fans wanting to know what you blog about?

Time flies. I really cant blog long entries down now.

Two things. Njrc05 is over. Cchs bagged one award. But is pathetic considering my other pals's schs. All got more awards. Looks like cchs is crumbling. Perhaps because Exosphere is sec4 and cannot partcipate? Haha. Bhb. But its true. And its a proven fact. No cchs qualified for finals. So i went down today. To help them for side events. Sumo and sprint. Sumo my pet. Sprint my experimental event. Go WRO website again ar. www.wroboto.org. GO find last year result ar. Be reminded that SPRINT we got 4th or 6th ar. World event ar. Sumo i rank 4th but unofficial ar. Haha. Im just so bhb. Anyway got closer relations to fuhua and admiralty sec. GO find last year entry. this month this season. was njrc season. i must have been cursing fuhua for beating me by 10 points and gettin 1st. or scoldin how admiralty got the championship award. but now, we're friends. Thats what i must note down.

Another thing. I have to stop about robotics now. The fever must end now. STOP. NO more ROBOTICS for now. Studies now. NO vball, no robotics, no anythign else. Study. Dont come here anymore. I will try to update less often. I thank you for visiting my blog so regularly but things will resume after prelims or o's.

TO all sec4s jiayou and i mean it.

Haha. Mysteries unsolved. And why? I'm wondering.. scientist can create and invent so many theories and invent flying.. cloning.. preservation.. unravel events that happened thousands of years ago... even to the dinosaur age.. Yet now, faced with such an open issue and no answers can be given? Let me try to just address some of them matter-of-factly.

The Bermuda Triangle and the Black Hole is right there. There. It is open and unrestricted or cordoned off by any form. I doubt there's a law stopping potential adventure-seekers or renowned scientists to just make a forray to the area and venture into the vortex to find out more. What with thoes terrorist willing to lay down their lives simply by just manoeuvring an aircraft to bring down a tower or, for more recent acts of stupidism, bombing a train station.

As how Mr soon reenacted the scene last time during one SS lesson: *props a backpack to his back* -walks a few steps forward- then roar, "FOR ALLAH!" end of reenactment. I remembered reading the newspapers with photographs of how thoes sucide-bombers look like. Hell, one of them wore a windbreaker with the words " NEW YORK" printed across his chest.

Why couldnt he sign a contract with a team of scientist and be willing to sacrifice his life for everyone else in the world to find out the mystery behind the bermuda triangle? He could have navigated a ship to the Bermuda Triangle with recorders, cam recorders, digital cameras, digital recorders and all thoes sophisticated gadgets which could record that very moment down when the ship moved into the boundary of the BT. Or, for the case of World Trade Centre, since that pilot was so accurate in aiming the vertex of the tower to cause such misery sweeping across the world along with terror and fear, why couldnt he just contributed constructively and more positively to the world and drive his aircraft to BT and see if anything happens?

I mean, im thinking on this line because since we know its a gone-case for someone to set foot into BT and well, its not very "le guan" for that person to walk out unscathed to live and tell the tale, why dont thoes potential-end-thier-life people just be more civil-minded and sensible (well if they want to end thier lives they cant be any sensible actually.. but anyway) and just die in a more meaningful way? Walk into the BT with recording instruments to see what its like in there. Live or die. Who knows? I heard of a theory, from our well-known Zhangren sitting beside me in class, that the BT teleports you to another era of time. Maybe to the future or the past. But for curious little kids like me who wants to know and learn more... Why cant anyone just go into the BT in the name of SCIENCE (not allah) for scientist and me to have a better view of what happens in the BT? Whether is there really a superior race living underneath or above that region that sucks any intruder to thier own realm and conduct body-disecting. If this is a plausible thoery, then wont it be recorded down by the hi-tech stuffs installed on that "wei da" intruder?

But why? (i tink i havent heard of it yet) Anyone tried it? Or the Black Hole. Why cant astronauts hold video recorders in thier hand as the spaceship moves into the black hole? Then wont evrything be recorded down? Or if it doesnt work, i can use ROBOTICS (fll'04's theme is mission on mars. my robot was supposed to perform task on mars ok. actually its just a simulation la) and build them a robot and programme it to go into BT or BH or whatever and then solve the mystery.

Of course, my silly examples and theories can be rebuked by the point that perhaps for thoes two regions, our wiring, machines, electronics or to put it simply our techonology will not work. Maybe our techonology aint that high or superior yet to survive the ordeals being put to test in thoes two regions. Yes, maybe that is it. All machines will spoil once they enter the region so whatever recording on the video recorders of thoes poor astronauts will be destroyed and what the scientist or us (if broadcasted live to international tv) can see is just -NO SIGNAL- or thos grey lines or distorted images you get when you turn to an unprogrammed or untuned channel. Yes, with this point my entry would have been a complete rubbish.

BUT! Dont you feel that the US government ( the almighty organisation ) is keeping mum about it? Zr told me he read an article back in China that when a documentary filming on supernatural beings in planet (aliens) went to interview AREA 51.. The reports from them were tampered with and appeared as though someone had erased information from it. I dont know, Zr said there were like eraser markings or blanco ( correction tape ) trails on the written report. So what Zr derived was that the organisation was not supposed to reveal some secret. That something had to be kept unknown from public, the media.

If that is true.. then from a general view, they are right in doing so. Given skemptical characteristics of the typical Singaporean, upon knowing there are aliens, goodness knows what he will do next. Start killing his family thinking that he rather them die in the hands of a human rather than some unkown species? Or thinking that "fei shui bu ru wai ren tian" he must well kill and protect his family rather than let them suffer whatever possible tortures thoes aliens might do.

I hope this got you thinking and that you wont take life for granted. For know. Lets go watch superstar and see who wins.
