teacher's song to slacker boy(adapted from 'eyes on me')
Whenever flashed my notes
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little class
My last lecture for you
Same old notes, just once more
My last lecture with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of hated your way
How you shyly shut your eyes 'fore me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
*[insert two syllable name], so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you've never dozed
As if you've never slept
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I lecture
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you
[insert name here], so share with me
Your phone if you have enough
Your games if you're holding back
Or p0rn if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the glares and the voice
Just raise your arm then
I will know that you are not sleeping
as it is done by changing a few words from a love song, i am not surprised it sounds mushy(imagine CSC or Genie singing it...). it is not supposed to be. i have no idea how to make it otherwise. give suggestions please.

yay i finally completed my project!!! which was due, erm, 4 months ago....
i presented my project at IME. 2 ri boys(me and ng yong sheng) and 6 rgs girls were attached to IME 8 months ago and we all did different stuff. the rgs ppl worked in pairs, and me & yong sheng worked solo.
i chose circuit design... not really exciting, while others got to see the really pro ppl work with really pro equipment, i was basically reading up and clearing up misconceptions(there are many) with the pro circuit design guys. those ppl only work with computers, solders, integrated circuits, and their most power tool is really their brain. (it took me 4 months to think up the first circuit with lgoic gates. it took my mentor 1/2 hour to do using transistors) but the only understandable topic that i could choose from.
in short, if i have to talk about the process, it would go like this: take out paper and pencil, think, draw, erase, think, draw, erase, check, erase, draw again, think, draw, erase... so, no. my project report has no process. hence it is only 8 pages long.
my project is kinda unique in a sense that even though i dun make any exciting discovery or invention, at least i have something that belongs to me at the end of this project. my circuit.
project presentation didn't go exactly very well... the introduction part people could just read off the powerpoint presentation. i didn't want that. so i put half the points on powerpoint half of them on script. and thanks to my crappy handwriting, i stammered quite badly when i came to the scirpt part.
aha, but since i designed the circuit myself, so when it came to part with no script and no ppt points, i actually sounded much more confident and convincing. it turned out pretty good. then the part came when i had to explain the circuit... which was quite complex. i could hear the "WOAH" from the rgs pupils and jc and polytech students as i showed them the circuit i designed... haha.
IME has no working laser pointer. the INSTITUTE OF MICROELECTRONICS that has the scanning electron microscope, electon beam lithograph, electron oscilloscope, tunnel scanning microscope, atomic force microscope, CMOS and BJT ICs does not have a working LASER POINTER. how fantastic. so what i had to do was like "kay u see, the first OR gate from the left of the diagram basically prevents the first LED from the left from lighting up when the 5th, 9th and 13th LED from the left lights up..." it was kinda tedious.
i remember one guy(from poly perhaps) was like slouching and yawning and mouthing me when i was talking about logic gates and the definition of digital circuits(the part i was stammering). then when i showed the circuit i designed he went like "WTH!" and was looking at the circuit diagram shaking his head... it was quite amusing.
the moral of the story is: logic gates may sound simple. but once u put them together, or take one apart, it is not. in this case there were about 100 logic gates. and a frigging lot of wire connections. 100 logic gates is made up of about 500 transistors. pentium 4 processor chip has about 15 million transistors. now you do the math and tell me why computer chips are so expensive even they they are made of like...sand and a bit of gold and silver here and there. now i think the circuit design engineers are paid peanuts(or ren min bi?) to make pentium 4 even affordable at all. (and in case you're wondering, professional circuit design engineers DO take the logic gates apart and remove excess material to reduce cost, power consumption and size... ouch.)
the rgs girls projects involved much more hands on it seems. they were doing weaving, sewing, laminating blah. i think they learnt a lot. and their presentations and projects were really good compared to mine and ng yong sheng's. i am impressed at the amount of effort they put in.
then... reception! i had about 6 or 7 drumlets, 4 pieces of cheese cake, and some really nice small bun with chocolate on top and a lot of cream inside.
i think the IME ppl are really nice...so nice that they'll scare the shit out of me if they scold me at all... i really felt like i was treated like a VIP, even though i am just a sec 3 little n00b in this field and they are all scientists, engineers, phD holders, the pros, really. i mean, even in an multi user online game, if the pros come down to me and teach me, show me the way, give me tips and all, instead of just saying "read the bloody guide n00b", i'll be really touched. whats more, this is in real life... if i were interested i might work for IME... but then i'm not... their work is really sian. and when u deal with small stuff u can't escape from the schrodinger's equation. ten years from now, even string theory perhaps. and string theory is worse than quantum mech.
Which leads me to my question: if people who do applied mechanics are called "mechanics", then are scientists who deal with quantum mechanics called "quantum mechanics"?
"Hello Mr Lee, what is ur profession?"
"i am a mechanic."
"hello Dr Jong, what is ur profession?"
"i am a micro mechanic."
"hello Dr Bohr, what is ur profession?"
"i am a quantum mechanic."

"Oh no, i smell gas! is there leakage?"
"don't worry! do you know that you should do install gas connection from a trusted technician, perform maintenance every three years, change gas piping every five years to prevent gas leakage, which can lead to fatal acidents?" union gas. your trusted partner.(ad ends here.)
"erm no. i haven't done any of those."
"oops. i guess there is indeed a leakage. erm... goodbye."
KABOOM.

okay i ought to say something about science club camp.
basically science club camp, in general, sucked. mainly due to attendance. i mean, what fun is there when u have 8 sec 3s and 11 juniors...which make up a grand total of 19 people for the camp? and mind you, not all are staying for the whole camp....
but! the zoo trip was quite nice... we all learnt from that place. though it is rather overpriced...and meal breaks were too long. all science club members thus learnt how to play cai quan. and zhong ji mi ma.
oh yar during one of these zhong ji mi ma lunch sessions alwyn kept guessing sixty-nine. so i was judge for one round and i chose 69. and alwyn got it. so he ate pea.
and jiahua rox. he kept asking the zoo tour guide, ivy, about elephants eating up a person.
"you see, i looked at the skull of an elephant and figured that if someone stuck his head in far enough, the elephant could close its mouth and crush his skull."
then ivy said,"erm... but if an elephant wants to kill it can just step on you!"
"ahh... but that seemed like a fancy way...or rather it could also pick a person up and mash its groin to its tusk..."
then for the next 5 mins we were discussing how an elephant can kill a man.
if you are wondering, ivy is a she. and she is in her mid 20s. and alwyn is quite fascinated with her. if you ask me... she reminds me too much of lilian wong for me to be fascinated. but then alwyn would ask, "what's wrong with having fanciful thoughts about lilian wong?"
for the remaining part of science club camp, i felt that the quiz was the best part. u noe why????
cos it was set by me! muahahahaha.... really... i think its pretty good. cunning and unpredictable. so unpredictable that amyas answered half of the physics questions wrong!! and yuan cheng xiang answered half the chem questions wrong! so they almost tied.
ask me or lois for a copy. i think it's pretty good. its only 33kb. and its free, u noe.
