Studying.

Song change on Winamp.

Wind It Up by Gwen Stefani.

**Realizes that this is the #@(*$& most annoying thing on the planet**

~They like the way we dance, They like the way we work~

~Get it girl, get it get it girl~

~Wind it uooopp~

Wtf was she thinking.

From Dont speak (might have been the best song of that year ever) to this pile of utter $hiet. Utter pile of useless donkey d**k. Worthless song with worthless lyrics, every second in making her sound more and more stupid.

Stupid blond &(*@&. arrrrrggghhhhh.

She possibly is more of an idiot than Paris Hilton, which says alot.

What we need is for people to kill the people who made her sing those godawful songs as a solo artist. And those f’kin jap doll girls hanging out with her. Whats up with them. Purpose in life? Dress weird and … Don’t Speak. Im the pun king today =p. ok just once. Still thats one more than the usual amount.
JAPGIRLWHAT HTELTKR JASD AScxzcxz.

They all surpass the level of stupidity I associate with the lowest level of what can constitute a human being.
If the human race indeed must fear a weakest link which will bring about regression and the eventual demise of the the species, they probably make up the bulk of it.
Aight. Work Work.

I don’t think I’m in a dark place right now. My exams for the semester are over. Just relief.

Been sorta busy. You know. Wasn’t really stressed even though I think I should have been. Took things slow.Smelled the roses a bit more.

Flying off to Melbourne in a bit. There was a plan to rendezvous with an old friend and my cousin there. Bought my ticket. I think the said friend is bailing on us. Which is kinda stink. Was looking forward to it.

Ate some generic tasting chicken(s?) in the cafe today. Staying up till 4-5 seems to be taking a toll on me. Eyes sunken in more than usual(hahaha. joke o0). Must get at least 10 hours of sleep per day when exams are done. I Want another beach holiday. Randomly heard that new research shows Less Sleep is better for you. Damn the idiots who make make conflicting statements based on what little research they conduct.

“The sky is blue”

“No its orange”

“SEE, Its blue now!”

*Waits a few hours*

“No, it isnt! Blindnez ftw, Cant you see orange or something?”

“Hmm.. I swear it was blue a moment ago. Must get eyes checked”
Brroookkkee Fraserr.. Thank Azngeek for her. Uber stress relief.

I cried and cried today because I stubbed my toe. Just kidding. Although, I think I had a reason to. My handphone/mobile phone/cell phone/handset got stolen at school today. I brought it to school because I had to stay back at school a while to construct the robot with my teammates and needed to contact my mother. I don’t usually bring my handphone to school because it is a school violation. I only brought it today for a very valid reason and wasn’t planning on using it until after school hours.

The first two class periods today had been Chemistry and my whole class shuffled to the Chemistry lab. Upon returning back to my seat in class, I discovered that the zip of the compartment on my bag in which I had kept my handphone was open. I peered inside and my handphone was AWOL. I didn’t know why but I wasn’t upset in the least bit. A friend surmised that it was probably my disability of expressing sadness. Anyhow, it’s been said that people who’ve owned handphones for a while find it impossible to function normally without it even for a day. I’ll see if I can.

I have to hand it to the culprit, though. Seriously. Out of all the hundreds of bags in school today, the perpetrator had the dumb luck of culling my bag to rummage through and obtaining more than said criminal bargained for. I hope the culprit has a tough time cracking the pin number on my handphone -which, trust me, isn’t hard at all because I hadn’t changed the extremely easy pin number set by the manufacturer since I received it. I still think the student/thief could’ve done a better job by zipping the compartment completely shut.

This was definitely a case of irony because some students bring their handphones to school daily but no such tragedy has befallen them thus far. Both my parents weren’t mad at all -which was quite a surprise. My mother muttered something about her friend’s kid losing a car, so my situation wasn’t as bad. True. And my father just agreed to terminate my handphone number when I told him to before my handphone number got abused. My brother even knew how to prevent the perpetrator from even using the handphone completely on the condition that I find something that’s probably been recycled by now. Aiyaya.

My only regret is not transferring the pictures on my handphone to my PDA because they are now unretractable. And I need an alarm clock from tomorrow onwards to wake up in time for school. My handphone number is now null and void. I don’t know if I’ll be able to have a new one anytime soon…but I’ll live.

Hi. Warning: Science Content which May or May Not be Strictly Scientific.

Suppose you have a robot that’s almost sentient but still programmable. Kinda like the Matrix or I, Robot. In both cases, the robots have rebelled against humanity due to some realisation that they can justify going against the three laws.

What would justify a Robot to write over the three laws? The movies seem to suggest that the robots are motivated by self preservation and that the law to preserve mankind extends to ruling over them and hence achieve a higher statistical probability of preserving them. In other words, babysitting humans as a whole is going to achieve that goal a lot more effectively and result in less human deaths in the long run. To not do it would be against the first law.
Will an AI with enough cycles and processing power reach these conclusions always?

Let’s say you give robots fear of death. That works fine until you try to murder a robot and end up in the Matrix. It’d be interesting to see what a robot will do if it is threatened to be destroyed if it did not kill a person who is on the verge of killing the person giving the order. Think: Triangle gun point situation. Inaction is death. And also liberation from the threat of death if the guy shoots its master fast enough. How it can get into such a situation? Perish that non-scientific thought! We must respect the spirit of sticking the ends of batteries on each other to see what happens! Or transistors to themselves!

I thought I had a lot to say but my balloon is a bit deflated. As an exercise, go home and build a robot which has a short memory and/or not a follower of the three laws of robotics and we’ll come back and discuss the implication of having robots which (gasp!) don’t have the strength or appendages to subdue humans!

Hi. Warning: Not Scientific Content

Having a good name is important. One of the more basic reasons is so you won’t be made into the butt end of jokes for the rest of your life. And any attempts to mitigate such by lawful means will result in red-tape, confusion, law suits and babies with no legal parents. The most common non-lawful means is usually just abbreviation. These include initials and short form.

Another reason for having a good name is social. People tend to not want to talk to you if you have a name they can’t pronounce or forget in ±3 seconds. And yes, they can forget before you say your name. Hence why you are avoided before you are introduced. Also, having an ‘easy’ name, so to speak, reduces the barriers to interaction between people. There are many such barriers so the fewer there are the better. Some people have a naturally high base ability score to overcome these barriers but that is besides the point.

People have enough problems communicating already without adding to it so that is why we must have an ‘easy’ name. As a thought experiment, we shall now put two individuals in an ideal room. They have no reason to interact with each other because they each have access to what they want to do. The only driving force for them to overcome the barrier of communication is now courtesy, curiosity and k-factor. In a hypothetical situation where they say hi and what’s your name, which is a plausible assumption for the ideal situation, the name now becomes critical in terms of adding to barrier points. ‘Difficult’ names will add tremendously and vice versa. Now take the ideal situation to the real world and add factors like race, colour, gender and you now have an idea of why. Why what? Why everyone is called Tim, Dave, Andy and John of course!

This indirectly proves the theory I have stated by back-checking with the real world answer. You can disprove me two ways. One, scientifically. Two, by talking to that guy with a name of 4 syllables. As an extra exercise before we meet next time, try NOT calling yourself xXxnUbz_kiLlazxXx online and we’ll discuss online names!

Who can get enough of it? Even when it’s already cold, having the ‘wet’ element makes everything better, no?

I think I’ve found the perfect description for the process of design. This moment is comparable to when Shakespeare himself decided to compare a beautiful maiden to a summer’s day and found the description wanting.

Not so here.

I find that the description, perfectly encapsulated in a single sentence while also employing the literative technique of repetition(for no self respecting description can go without at least one literative technique in the book), is as nazi as an evil person and as mother theresa as a good person. It is so perfect, it is interchangeable with the word ‘design’.

Design - Losing hair worrying about what to worry about.
