fit

woo. the route.

in other unrelated news, UM... NO?

today

is just so.

p/s: managed to blog in time. =p read yours as well. can't agree more.

engineers in the making

1130hrs
ikea people came. the whole delivery process took less than 5 minutes. that makes their delivery charges, rounding up to 5 minutes, SGD10.00 per minute. wow.

or.

i have 3 items. that makes the charges SGD16.67 per item. wow.

or.

SGD3.34 per item per minute. 3.34 $/t*unit, where t is in minutes. 3.34wow/(wow*wow)

1145hrs
started to fix the table. okay. 4 table leg + 1 table top. each table leg has 5 screws. easy. just screw it and be done with it.

1230hrs
easy. easy my foot. or hand. or ass. easy myasshandfoot.
i have to shift my whole body mass of 85kg x 9.81N/kg = 833.85N. since i'm living on the 6th floor, maybe that makes less force. maybe 85kg x 9.8095N/kg = 833.8075N. so it's less. i should have bring the table top down to first floor to assemble it before bringing it up. oh well.

notice that handkerchief? it's the resultant logical deduction of this situation here:
as you can see, i probably had a first-degree or second-degree burn. ikea screwed me instead.

1258hrs
"elo."
"yo."
"do you by any chance have any power drill or screwdriver thingie at your home?"
"no."
"okay."
*random guy rambling stuff*
"ok bye."
"bye."

dammit james. you should have one!! argghhh. =(

1315hrs
fucked. no more strength left. went down to the nearby community lot (sounds a lot like the sims games =p) to purchase something. something that i've learnt in engineering class. or physics. yay me. real-life application of stuff i've learnt. yayness +1

1325hrs
fixing the table.

1330hrs
fixed. all 4x5=20 screws. within 5mins. tighten and ready to be used. i show you why. pardon my crude scribbling though.guess what i've bought. lolz.

the stuff with length d2. yesh. i've been using the stuff with length d1. that's why.

now. given,

torque, T = force, F x distance, d

naturally, holding force F constant, the torque T generated by both screwdriver1 and screwdriver2, respectively, is therefore,

T1 = F1d1 ... 1
T2 = F2d2 ... 2

since F1 = F2 (experimentally adjusted), and solving the simultaneous equation 1 and 2, we have,

T1/d1 = T2/d2 ... 3

since d1 is approximately 3/4 of d2 (as deduced from the diagram), that makes:

4T1/3d2 = T2/d2

eliminating d2,

T2 = 4/3 * T1

that's 33% more torque generated.

on a sidenote, that screwdriver 2 costs SGD1.50. that's 22% increased torque per SGD1.00 spent.

smart.

HOWEVER.

a smarter choice would be asking ikea to fix the freaking table themselves, which would cost me 6% of the table's price. that is, 6% of SGD39.00 = SGD2.34

that SGD2.34 will save me at least 2hrs. and another SGD1.50. so that makes a difference of SGD0.42 per hour. or SGD0.007 per minute of savings compared to my current situation.

well. to finish off,

IKEA(R) Vika Amon Table Top, SGD19.00

IKEA(R) Vika Curry Table Leg, SGD20.00

Guo Yi(R) 6x150mm Hardened, Magnetic (+) Screwdriver, SGD1.50

the stupid experience of fixing a table, buying a screwdriver, drunk a tin of green tea, wasted 2 hours and having the energy to blog it in engineering terms,

priceless.

it should have been

the fifth birthday that i wanna celebrate along with you.

but things don't go as planned.

well.

happy 22th birthday~!

p/s: i'll dedicate one of my three wishes for you later in september although i hate you sometimes.

呆

今天是我来到新加坡第一次这么早就回到屋子　－－　傍晚４时２９分。之前都是因为屋里无法上网而迟迟呆在大学不回。

现在家里可以吼吼吼了。囧～

p/s: check this out. shizuoka broadcasting. from marketing class. gawd i love that module. as of now. =p

思

昨天的我，忘了打印课文，在讲堂中只好猛抄。

无聊的我，翻了身，看见背后坐着的你，你仿佛没事我的存在。

而我，想起了当初爱你的理由，忘了分手时的事故，无疑的，我已渐渐放下了那一丝恨意。

好久好久，无人吻慰我的伤口。今天的她，就是那么一个小动作，让我想起了你。还记得以前，无论伤的多严重，你也无视我的坚强，把我当成受伤的小兔，毫无理睬我的埋怨，帮我敷伤。

回家的路途，学生宿舍传来一阵手机铃声，一阵很有你味道的铃声，好回忆，好回忆。

爱需时间建立，也许时间却帮倒忙。但愿，那全都成了你我之间的一页，而我只能一笑，感激你对我所付出的一切。

invasion of the hotdog-squid and sotong-ball. eyeless hotdog-squid and half sotong-ball btw.

> tua liap than vivian

two hands vs one hand. he's DA BOMB.

p/s: this is for the USD2k one. and he doesn't even treat me one cup of kopi. some friend he is.

Off-campus Living: 3rd August 2008 Day 1

8.xxpm: i miss those old days.

am at bus stop opposite YIH now. bus 96 just passed by. and i missed it. oh well. anyways, the house isn't a place that i look forward to go back to. so yeah that balances out each other.

a couple beside me just said "sucks". sigh. apparently the vending machine refuses to cooperate with the guy. yeah, life sucks.

meh.

ok let's see what's next. broadband applying, rental discussing, the fucking noisy air-con, module registration.

oh. i missed out the orientation this year. not staying in campus i'd say, plus all these moolahz brought along by the off-campus accommodation.

continuing with the list, concession pass, bingo clubroom overnights (likely i'd say)

damn, i need the earplugs. dammit dammit dammit.

how i wish you were here with me. esp you emyn. T.T clown for you. lolz.

8.47pm: bus 95 came. not the one i wanted.

weak. i'm this weak. feeble-minded.

ahhhh, i hate the bed. the very soft bed in my room. dammit. ikea here i come!!!

damn. it all boils down to how much i wanna fork out. the problem is, NOT MUCH. (read: as little as possible, and if it's over the cost of living in pgp, it's too much)

shit.

the vending machine beside me starts to heat up (or cool up, depending on which thermodynamic cycle you're talking) AND IT'S MORE QUIET THAN THE AIR-CON IN THE ROOM.

8.51pm: the bus ain't coming still.

ish. bbq on 8th of august. not really looking forward to it. when stuffs are being compared, shit happens.

yeah i know. limited vocab. just like south park the movie. wiki it for how much profanity it uses etc etc. lolz.

note to self: no matter how long it takes for the bus to arrive, there's still another at least 40 minutes. yeah. according to the time now, theoretically i'll reach my room at 9.34pm. and counting.

8.55pm: bus 96. the girl sitting beside me is gorgeous. just the type i liked. hahaha. stories happen you see. male A at bus stop and sees female B. love at first strike. male A approaches female B, goes "hi, did i know you from somewhere"; female B stutters "yeah i think we've met"... yadayada, happily ever after.

whatever.

the room still sucks at present. still have to hang up the curtain when i get back. still have to unpack my stuff and settle down. on that freakishly soft bed.

my, she's hot. my kind of hot. lolz. guys, if you've known me better, you'll know what i'm saying.

9.00pm: not even halfway to clementi. ok. halfway. shit. gotta deposit my bank draft. tomorrow ba. lolz. i forgot to bring my jacket as well. please remember.

ah heck it. deposit it today. plus go buy some stuff.

bye for now.

**********************************************

continued.

come to think bout it, off-campus life ain't that bad. lolz. which NUS student has a waterbed waiting for him/her back at his/her room.

lolz.

life's fun. with all this and that. am on the bus back now. guess this is the life that awaits me from now on till june 2009.

hopefully it does not suck as bad as i expected. but it is. but heck it. but but. but but but. lolz x3.

ziqi is in the bus with me now. i do not know the way back so hopefully she's alighting at the same stop as me. plus it's nighttime. i'm not that lame okay. =p

ish.

peeps, you all should have a mirror in front of you should you get angry or frustrated. chio girls just got fugly cuz she's like abit angry at the person she's on the phone with now. lolz. that's ugly. ugly ugly ugly.

still, i felt like crying. but tears dried up long ago.

9.31pm: i still don't know where i am. there's alot of people coming up. DAMN LOT. guess this is all for tonight. byes. more to come later.
