To those that want to contact me nowadays during the night, I'm sorry. My lifestyle change quite drastically already... to be specific, the sleep times. I'm asleep nowadays from 7pm - 12am - Montreal time(most probably these times.. +- 1 hour). So... to those that msn, msg, or do anything to reach me but couldn't, I'm sorry.

Muahaha... New Camera!

xD... just bought a new camera for myself. The legendary(joke) Canon SX-10! Didn't plan on taking a DSLR because I don't think I'll be needing one...
New cam... looks ok la hor?
Doesn't mean I'll forget you also! xD
Erm... test shot with new cam... kawaii le?
Oh... and this is a night scene in Montreal.
See a little to the right where there's a sharp star?
That's an effect that Khai Pin taught(editted) me. Need a tripod though, but I used the railings(flat) to take this.
n other words, need very very stable hands.
And so... I'm going to take more pics and hopefully their good ones. The camera cost CAD461.66. Well, actually its almost the same as the previous one, but it has better specs. That's why I prefer this one. Better zoom, higher megapixels, lens type, just to name a few. Oh... and about the last pic, which needs a tripod, (to my parents - don't worry, I'm not going to get one) I might want one sometime in the not so near future. We'll see how it goes ok? Right now, I wanna play around with my new toy... XD

Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah~!

That's right!
Today, something spectacular happen right before my eyes!
Right inside my house!
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
It happened right before lunchtime!
...
...
Well... actually, it happened because of lunchtime... haha..
So... to cut straight to the point...
...
...
...
...
The thing that happened was...
...
...
My kitchen... caught on fire! (bit exaggerating la... just the pan oni... xD)
How? You may ask...
Well, here are the instructions to light up your own pan.
1. Heat up the stainless steel pan on an electric stove. (Set to number 7 or 8)
2. Pour some oil into the pan.
3. Wait for around 2 minutes.
4. Keep your eyes peeled as you stare at the pan... and wa lah! Fire!
The thing that puzzled me most was the fact that there wasn't any source of fire to light up the oil in the pan. Think about it, last time during Science, we were taught that for fire to occur, three things are needed:
1. Source of fire, i.e. a match, lighter or sunray (something to spark)
2. Material to burn.
3. Oxygen.
Judging from the conditions in my kitchen, 2 out of 3 conditions were present, namely the material(oil) and of course oxygen(if there weren't any of this, I wouldn't be typing this now would I?) But where did the fire come from? There are no source of fire, its an electric stove. Unless... there was a short circuit somewhere in the stove that could spark. But there were no short circuits anywhere, so that was definitely not the case. So... how how how?
My idea is that due to the stainless steel pan, the pan heats up the oil to a very very very high temperature, thus, causing the oil to burn by itself. As I'm not majoring in chemistry, I can't really explain this well. For more information, please contact my father... xD. If memory serves me right, some materials(if not all of them) have a certain point at which if the temperature of this material exceeds this point, the material will start to ignite and thus, become both the material to burn and the source of fire.
Needless to say, I'm alright, the fire was put out 1 minute after it started (because I had a little bit of fun watching the fire), although I did nearly chop my left thumb and middle finger. Ouch! More of a slice actually, freaking rolling carrot. But the hard part was in scrubbing the pan. Man, now I know the literal meaning of elbow grease! xD. To cut a long story short, cooking was half an hour, scrubbing before and after cooking took me 2 hours... T_T

Fuh~ I am one lucky son of a ding-dong

Yeah! I missed lab on Thursday morning, and I got to do the experiment on Friday morning... however...
I was given a lot at 9.35am... I woke up at 9.30am... that was so freaking scary...
Rushed like hell out, and to add to my misery, I forgot to print out the lab manual. So had to rush to print out the manual... then rush to the lab.. haiyo... a lot of rushing here and there. When I got there, there were like 3 people waiting there also. I was like wtf? Got other people?
So... we(4) were waiting outside la. And I was thinking, darn... sure no place liao. I even thought of leaving at that moment because there was like a 0.0001% chance of me getting a spot.
Mana tau... the guy came.. and asked a very important question, "Did you guys send me an email saying that you would come today?" Fuh~ there were 2 'yes' and 2 'no'. Deng~ so eventually, I got a spot. Darn lucky b******.
But then again, I've always been a lucky guy. Looking back, luck has always been around whenever I needed it most... So... thank you, LUCK! haha...
"Smile... and know that lady luck while smile back upon you..."

Things... things... too many things...
Lately, I've been thinking... a lot... perhaps too much...
All these things happening around me...
I keep wondering, thinking, wondering, thinking...
Sometimes, my head is so heavy, I can barely lift it...
Sometimes, its too light, and I feel like floating...
I can't sleep at night, I sleep during the day...
And even at that time, I'm tossing and turning...
I don't understand why...
Why is my brain so complicated...
Why does things have to be this way...
I used to be able to see things clearly...
But now, its all a blur...
I'm becoming blurrer and blurrer...
And its not because of the specs...
I feel like I'm missing something in my life...
I just don't know what...
For now, the void is filled by games...
But I know it won''t last...
I have to find something... that thing quick...

Somehow... I think... he's talking to me...
