| The problem with saved passwords |
One great night of bowling, wrists burning with the fire of a thousand suns just an hour ago. Who ever knew playing around with a bunch of 10 pound balls would be so entertaining?
As you could probably see from the recent post below. I now know the value of NOT saving your silly passwords on your laptop. It makes for interesting reading that people could "infiltrate" your social networks and tell a random girl/guy on your msn list "Hey, I love you!"... or in this case.. post something on this wonderfully entertaining and classique blog. Yes, thank you oh great Chen Yinghuan, for teaching me one of life's greatest and important lessons.. Imagine if it would have been my online banking account. I bet the silly grin on her face would be 10 times wider now. (and pockets much fatter.)
Mass Com Medium module's presentations are finally over! As for Dr. Hung, he dropped a total bombshell by telling us 1 effing minute before the presentation that our time was, in fact, 12 mintutes and not the full 15 as communicated before. Not only that, he also tells us his exact expectations for the presentations. What's up Doc? (always wanted to say that!)
Needless to say, another pristine and immaculate job well done by the team. Shaving 3 minutes off a presentation is no easy feat and we did exactly that with extreme professionalism. (Which is more than I can say for several groups that presented that day.) So, well done and I'm proud enough to declare this publicly! Stuff a fist in your mouth if you don't agree.
One thing I can't get is the level of presentation skills. Not to harp on my own, I'm no expert myself. I'm not saying I'm good. I'm just saying that I try. Despite all of us as a university cohort with at least 18, 19 years of education, still. Still so many people have very low levels of presentation skills. Simple things such as looking at your audience. Not reading everything from scripts or cards. Talking in an audible, clear tone. Hand gentures. Posture.
It's weird that some people in other groups could just meekly mumble something and be unclear of what he or she is presenting. This one girl, (again, I'm not saying I'm anything great) is more concerned with reading from her notes and keeps getting lost in them. Apart from that, the way she phrased the answer to the question posted to her group made her group look bad. But ah well, we're only human. But please, learn some damn skills!
Speaking on skills.. Dr Hung decided to let us know that he has MAD L33T SKILLZ and told us not to challenge his system. He knows our tricks and ain't afriad to TAP THAT YO. Strange fellow that one. He then suddenly goes on to tell us about his teaching awards out of nowhere. Can you spell insecurity please? Despite his anal-ity, I clarify that I do have plenty of respect for the man and what he knows. His works are insightful and engaging. So, please. Less anal = more respect.

MRT Watch: I *LOVE* how people cross their legs and conveniently dust their soles of their dirty footwear on people's pants next to them. Apart from cattle prods, I guess now I should bring an axe to LOP OFF their ugly feet. Aunty, you got it easy when I scolded you. Next time... CHOP CHOP CHOP!

yes, I heard! my close friend who recently went back to Aussie after her school break is coming back in September just to watch him race (her family are HUGE fans of F1, omg they can go on and on and on about it, but i find it vastly informative!). and she previously said that she wouldn't be back until a year later, which was supposedly in June 2010! waaa! best! only for Schumi.

If Schumi races, I might actually think about going down to see the race! That'll be exciting!
