Reviving the freezer!!

When was the last time my memories are preserved? Long time ago... When was the last time I had inspiration to write? Long time ago.... Sorry to disappoint u guys and gals out there yea! hehe... But fret not cuz I am back!! muahahaha~~~ Ok then.. this post will be reviving my bloggie... I think telling u guys and gals wat I did before will be a gud start... Well, first and foremost, lemme intro u to my apartment!! hehe...
This is the living room... Btw, my apartment's name is Empire and I stay on the 10th floor...
Kitchen and Darrel's room up ahead...
One of the bathroom toilet... Looks like hotel's yea?
And last but not least, my room... hehe... Half of it actually... I have a room mate whose not in the pic (actually part of him is in the pic... haha...) and his part of the room's not in the pic too except his wardrobe la... There's my bed on the left, my guitar case, my table and chair and wardrobe...
First thg's first... Went to get internet in the first week of orientation... Apparently this year, they haven got many stalls offering free hot dogs to offer this year but National Bank still offers free hot dogs la... haha... Maybe the recession is much worse than I thought... Btw, I got Woosh! as my internet service provider... Not bad la the download speed... hehe... I ciplaked (pirated) a lot of stuffs alrdy...
Had to set it up myslf... And those days when I set it up, it really made me frustrated to the max due to some connection problems... Juz could not hook up the net... But thank gudness evrythg's solved eventually... haha! Oh btw, the view outside of the window shows the Auckland motorway and hospital...
Flatting out isn't easy but it's fun! I get to cook for my friends... hehehe~ I cooked chicken curry and vege recently... And guess what?!
We actually finished up everything! Haha... Didn't know I had a thing for cooking till now... XD Wanna try anyone?? Oh and the above photo was not editted in any ways and the dishes were not thrown away too~~ It's all happily and safely digested... hehe..
Another thing I've been busy with the past 2 months is UMSA... This pic shows the orientation BBQ... hehe... Can u find me?
There's also the Board Games Nite... Introducing UMSA's committees... hehe... part of em la actually... not all of em here... Oh if u want more info, please visit www.umsanz.com and I'm actually the Web Officer this year and I maintain the website... So, please support the website o!! =) I'll appreciate it very muchie!!!
talking bout my uni life, it's kinda fun + some stress la... haha... I had a field trip with my department... For those who dunno, I'm with the department of Engineering Science... This field trip was organised and we went to a few engineering firms and industries... Oh and not to mention, we had lotsa fun too!!
Not only did we visit the industries, we also went to Rotorua!! What's best is it's totally free of charge!! Yeah, baby~~ haha... This shows the backpackers whr we stayed for the night... It was a 3 days, 2 nites trip...
Went walkin ard Rotorua alone... Bumped into this... Look at that! Pejabat Polis wor!! It's Malay Language wei~~ and another thing... I can definitely write chinese characters much better than that la!! haha...
Got this pic in the backpackers... It was signed by a 'Jessie'... And so I wonder... Jessie, did u draw this?? hehe~ for those who dunno... Jessie is a broccoli addict who is also obsessed with making her bed and stays on the 7th floor of Grafton Hall... hahaha~
Besides that, we also went to a thermal power plant... This here belongs to Contact Energy, an energy company... See how they generate electricity frm steam... hehe...
Then of course, the fun part!! We were given a choice... White water rafting of Luge... I chose Luge la! Cuz wanna do white water rafting another time... hehe... This is the view of Lake Rotorua...
Now, the stress part of uni... One of my subjects, MECHENG 223 Machines and Mechanisms require us to finish the tutorials... So, we hav to go to the lab and look at each component and answer questions bout it... First tutorial was on internal combustion engines... This pic shows the carburetor... A device that ensures the fuel and air are mixed at the right ratio and pumped into the combustion chambers... hehe...
This one here shows a single cylinder, spark ignition, 2 valve, air-cooled, petrol engine... wa~ that was a mouthfull... haha..
The following tutorial was on electric motors... Went to the lab and looked at these thgs here... The above is a electromagnetic DC motor...
Not only that la... There's another subject, ENGSCI 211 Mathematical Modelling 2 which requires us to do a project on the modelling of nerve signalling... The above is part of the project la... It's called the Q-Q Normal plot to test for normality of the data... Hehe... Everytime I see this, it reminds me of..........
Sago Gula Melaka (Malacca Sugar Sago... direct translated)!! Can u see the resemblance?? The dot dot in the graph.... Looks juz like the sago... hahaha... -_-||
Ok... Next thing I gotta do for the project is to plot the graph which shows the nerve signalling behaviour... This one here shows the spiking behaviour at 58 mA... hehe... I used like 3 to 4 days to complete the project wei... Vy vy tiring and confusing!!
I juz completed this here... Hehe... It's for my another subject, ENGSCI 233 Computational Techniques and Computer Systems... We basically do programming and interactions with the computer through the I/O (input/output) ports... The above shows the implementation of a C language program... Aiks~
Stress surely will hav la... But in the midst of the stress, I had a lil' fun in the workshop!! =) I did my workshop this semester, every Friday morning... The two items above is hand-made from a steel plate and aluminium bar hor~~ my skill not abd hor? hehe... The below one is a drill gauge and the above one is a spirit level...
To further release stress, yesterday nite I went out with all my housemates... To witness the Engineering Revue!! hehe... For ur info,a revue is a multi-act theretical show which combines lotsa different elements like music, dances, comedies, parodies etc etc... It was sooooo funny until I nearly ROFLMAO (roll on floor laughing my ass off)!!! hahaha~~ This one here is one of the scenes where guys dress up as ballerinas... Wth~ haha!

Well, that's it la... That's nearly all the thgs I did during the past two months plus lo... hehe... For those who came by evry now and then hoping for a new post, reli wanna thank you very muchie neh!! Ok ok... I hav to go to bed alrdy... It's late and I dun wanna be late for class tmrw... hehe... Gdnite evryone! And hope to c ya soon~~
