Siu Hang’s blog.. again?

A: Which type of girl do you like?B: She must know how to use MATLAB.conversation between 2 NTU Electrical Electronic Engineering studentsHad dinner with 4 electrical guys (3 NTU + 1 NUS) at Vivo City last night. Quite a lot of craps. Things like ordering dog meat at White Dog Cafe, or mixing up Vietnamese sausage with Viennese sausage (and one of the NTU guy is a Vietnamese. He has Vietnamese “sausage” =P) Then we checked out the toy stores and bought some toys…Like I always say, engineers are cool.

Just now when I went to the toilet I saw this cubicle with opened door, and a man standing inside with pants all the way down, and he was pulling the toilet roll…I have no idea what was he doing, wiping his ass or wiping something else, but.. eek, what’s with the research scientist here?!?!

(pun intended for choice of title)Ever wonder what’s the difference between digital and analog?For analog signal you basically get smooth curves, whereas for digital signal you will have rectangular curves in steps.To put it simpler, it’s like a girl asking a guy whether he likes her or not and she demands the answer to be either a “yes” or “no” (that’s why girls like digital), whereas a guy will give you that “to a certain extent” crap.As for engineers, we have the DAC: Digital-to-analog converter. Now we can have the kind of answer we want.

I think I’ll take a break from blogging today.Go and learn how to draw circle.

If you check out the 3rd page of Today’s TODAY newspaper, there’s this OSIM advertisement of its iPen massage pen.So the engineers at my workplace were very interested in the product, discussing on its actuator and battery and stuff. Some even suggested buying one and dismantling it to see its parts.Then one engineer said, “There must be a reason why they put a girl in their vibrator advertisement”Vibrator and massage pen are different lah. (although they are similar in working principle)

What has legs and paddles? CRAB!Join chillycraps at Legs and Paddles 2007 this Sunday (27 May) at Singapore River.Registration ends today. -_-”

There’s this engineer at my workplace who likes to call home to check on his kids, to see whether they are doing their homework and stuff. So today I overheard this:Go and stand on the chair. Don’t come down until the next time I call back. I wonder if he forgot to call back, his poor kid would be standing until he reaches home… But then again, do you think his kid would be so obedient?

Was cooking rice with the transparent Arcuisine pot the other day, then suddenly it cracked. -_-” I swear I didn’t add water in the midst of heating the pot! (some of you may have tried adding cold water to hot test tube =P)The pot was made in France and I believe it was tempered glass (Pyrex? I wonder what has it got to do with Durex), so the fragments weren’t really sharp. Oh, and the cut was smooth too. But still, my rice was gone!I suspect it was the condensed water dripping back to the heated pot, then creating irregular thermal expansion and contration and all kinds of reaction… That will need a Material Science guy to explain.

In 1978, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) designated 18 May of every year as the International Museum Day (IMD) in an effort to heighten public’s awareness of the important role that museums play in the community. This year’s theme is “Museums and Universal Heritage”Somehow the Singapore’s version of IMD’07 is “Museum Alive”. Got a feeling it is borrowing some ideas from a particular movie. I kind of find local museums a bit too commercialised, even if they are under National Heritage Board.I used to be quite a hardcore museum lover. I’ll rather spend on museum ticket than movie ticket. Before the renovation I was a regular volunteer with the then Singapore History Museum, doing things like tour-guiding, curatorial, conducting workshop, and events such as Museum Fest and the Millennium party. (maybe someday I can show you some “artefacts” including newspaper interview =)) And you can guess who came out with the name for Young Historians Club =)Now the National Museum of Singapore is a totally new style. Kind of miss the old days. (and I bet you can remember the old National Library)

那个machine是gay(that machine is gay)the engineers were deciding on the colours of the warning lights on a machine, then someone suggested rainbow colour.
