Decoding the hidden beauty..

龙樱

2010-02-01T16:27:00.002+08:00

这周末看完了一部搞笑及关于青少年学习的日剧叫着龙樱。“龙”山学校的“樱”花盛开之时便是学生成功被东京大学录取的时刻。原是漫画，改为日剧播放后，日本高考生居然增加了！最近也被韩国改拍为电视剧。

该剧简介：
这并不是一个俗套的热血教师故事。龙山高中是一所开校以来升学率只有2%，更从来没有学生能考上东大的三流私立高中。原飞车党出身的三流律师樱木建二(阿部宽饰)因本身债务，接受法院指派，到龙山高中办理破产事宜，但在得知龙山高中的苦况之后，热血澎湃地以教师的身份，开办了为了让学生考上东大的特别培训班，并发誓如果不能让参加特训班的所有学生都考上东大，自己就辞职，更立志要把龙山高中发扬光大，要在该校培养出100个东大合格生。于是特训班的六名学生在樱木老师新奇、刺激的教学方法中，在短短几个月时间里，成绩突飞猛进，更朝着原本遥不可及的目标东京大学不懈努力。

看点：
帅哥美女：山下智久，长泽雅美，小池撤平
酷毙的老师：阿部宽
特殊及有效的教学方法：唱歌跳舞学英语，把数学当运动，看漫画学古文，搞笑图学物理，memory tree 学历史。
典型激励型的日剧情节

最唯美的一幕：
傍晚时分，运河旁，小孩在微风中追逐，少男少女躺在斜坡草地上思索着未来。

Davinci The Genius Exhibition at Pusat Sains Negara

2010-01-09T21:42:00.006+08:00

Leonardo Davinci true face?
I start to know the talent Davinci when i was in form5 (before the popular Davinci's Code).He is indeed a multitalented genius, not only an artist, but also a mechanical engineer, weapon designer,musician,naturalist,inventor etc. So this Davinci exhibition tour is a MUST for me to get some inspiration from this great man.

The exhibition generally display most of Davinci's indigenous design,replica of the design,painting, anatomy sketches, and a special section on Mona lisa.

It's cold inside, the ambient classical music matches the 'antique', 'greatness' of the exhibition.Some mechanical design is clever, like transform a linear motion to circular motion.The replicas is a bit disspointed, some not working,some not functional(haha,well at least in small scale). There din't put the real Mona Lisa painting here, it's impossible as claimed by French. Have to know, the painting have deteriorated (500+years), may not be as first drawn by him. So there's some scientist using UV-VIS-IR imaging technique to recapture the essence of the mysterious potrait. Not exactly know how to appreciate the beauty of it, i guess there have to be something behind the painting there.

From my point of view, Davinci is humourous, have great ambition, a persistence man, a curious kid, a poor guy(financially), a creative designer, a genius indeed!!

My top10 great moments in 2009(in chronological order)

2010-01-01T22:22:00.009+08:00

thesis defense: confident to deliver almost all i've done for 1 year in 20min, the Q&A session runs quite smoothly.Presents it to two theory guy and one corrosion guy.All are linient.

annual 5s class trip:Malacca again, but went there with some old pals certainly make a different.

result announcement date:Well i pass the subject which will cause me to extend if fail. Pour down the huge rocks in my heart.

NBL match:first time to see interstate basketball match and also slam dunk!

graduation day: well once in a life time.Gifts, wishes, photographing,raining and certainly an unforgettable moment.

health examination result: There is a period i was having a consistent pain on the chest when breating. The ECG and Xray screening result show nothing abnormal.After that there's no more pain.haha, maybe it's psychological??

broga hill trip:always want to go there, and we did it. Thanks to TMC.The paranoramic view, fresh breeze, cheerful hiker, sunrise are the fragment of joyness.

Genting trip again:with the same pals+my lil bro.New play scene.Try to challange my own record in rock climbing,but fail,stamina had decrease.

2010 count down event in 1U: although the performance is mundane, but the fireworks is worth for the waiting. The close up marvellous explosion is thrilling and exciting. Got some burning comet even shoot toward the crowd, wow.And the stunning exploding sounds plus the visual impact is undescribable through any digital device.

Amazing 3D Mendelbrotbulb!

2009-12-13T22:36:00.024+08:00

Guess what is this?

No a hint? ok, how about this?

looks like a broccoli rite?

and this one looks like waterfall.
All of the above pictures are actually coming from a same thing, by zooming into different levels. The thing is call 3D Mandelbrotbulb, which is the ball below.

and this 'ball' is generated using some simple recursive formula:
$${\bf \color{blue} z_{n+1}=z_n^m+c}$$, where z and c are hypercomplex numbers, representing Cartesian x,y,z coordinates.

From O2 to GH3

2009-11-27T15:27:00.007+08:00

Game: Guitar Hero 3 (PC version)
Who will like it:
-If u like music game like O2Jam, Stepmania...you should try it.
-If u always play your imaginary guitar whenever listening to ROCK songs but in fact you don't know how to play guitar.
-If you do know guitar but haven't reach the skill in order to play your favourite songs.

Optimum PC requirement:
-2GHZ+2GB of RAM (mine is 1.6GHZ+1GB RAM, yet i still can play after turn on some graphical feature).
-Good visual card (for those want enjoys the visual rather than the music)

How to play:
-currently, i don't see any portable GH's guitar for PC, so you have to use keyboard with or without the mouse.
-basically, to hit a note you have to press the note on the fretboard with one hand and strike the 'string' with another hand,simultaneously(that's the different with O2Jam and Stepmania) and of course, on your keyboard/mouse.

What i like about it:
-the sound and visual quality is great(the size of the game is around 2GB!).
-the game interface is nice,you can play online,pratice,completing tasks,buying equipment and songs...
-the songs really rocks!my favourite are: Black magic woman by Santana, PaintedBlack by Rolling Stone and Impulse by An endless Sporadic.

What i not so like about:
-don't overplay it if you are using keyboard, your hand muscle might get hurt!(keyboard are not specifically design for playing this game).
-for me, the visual effects are abundance, if you same in mind with me,you might consider another game similar to GH call Frets On Fire, it's a simple 'hit the note' guitar music game without any Punk/Gothic guys standing on the stage smashing their guitars.

For download, try searching in rapidshare,there are quite a numbers of it.

A video is worth than hundreds of words.

working as ra now

2009-08-26T01:26:00.003+08:00

凌晨1.30 am，在准备着31号前要教的research proposal.八月初到现在已第四个星期了，发生了不少事，想在这做些记录。research proposal?我不是毕业了吗，干吗还写什么research proposal 呢？不是啦，是为master by research mode 而准备的。题目老板出的，关于study of charged particle dynamics in dusty plasma system using stochastic model.目前做着RA(research assistant)同样field ，但，是设计个laser light scattering instrument 来观察dusty plasma 的。
八月头前，plasma 可说是个陌生的领域，最近地狱式恶补才了解一些概念。哇，太多东西要学，好想不眠一次过打好所需的基础，但是那是不可能的，伤身体啊。过了三个周末，一个整理新家，一个献给convo，一个回家拍照，好想有个空闲的周末，好让我k 书啊！search 过酱多有关Physics 的journal 发现一个领域里面很小很小的一个分支的一个concept都有成千上万个research paper .书海真是浩瀚啊。所以，不是我进展蛮慢，因为多数时间都在想从何入手啊，万事起头难啊。对，上次又生病leh，真是的。boss 没给压力，没给明确的任务，so压力都是自己给自己，哈哈，酱才会进步啊。还没给boss 教训过呢，什么心理？walaoeh,睡lo。

R.I.P 2008

2008-12-31T23:34:00.003+08:00

15 more minute year 2008 will be buried under its grave, and year 2009 will be embrace our breath.

Sitting facing the laptop, it's time...

to recollect moments of life before the calendar was changed. Well ,year started with the 2nd semester of 07/08 session and the 1st semester of 08/09 session.I had move out from residential college ,settle down in an apartment at KL.Now is the 2nd semester already,final semester.buzy with mostly acedemic stuff,and final year project.status changing from single to in a relationship and back to single again within 6 month.Life is dull staying outside,lack of sports facility,motor nerve had become tension.no practice with violin and drawing pen was let hidden among other pen and pencils...oh,here comes the firework from distance.yes,it's 2009 edi.haha.anyway,din feel much special about it,cause the time i conceive is continuous,tick tick tick,tick over the other time domain we so call another year.it jz doesn't pop out and everything changes,oh yes, except some shouting and fireworks.

found some quote about time:

"The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone."

~George Eliot

well,err,why we can't realize which one is opportunity and which isn't ,and will be clear after the time had pass.what he said remind me of the popular chinese saying"直到失去才懂的珍惜".alomst the same meaning la,looks like human meant to act like that.Then how should we do?the best stratergy i can think of is,try all!try all opportunity u got,no matter it fail or works after many failure.Then when u got the bingo,that is the golden moments,that's the angels.

here's another :

"It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?"

~ Henry David Thoreau

ever think about what the hell are u buzy about?buzy with level up?buzy with chit chating?buzy with drama?buzy with comics?buzy with others affair?buzy with thinking what other people think about you?buzy with the same routine you do again and again everyday just because your boss tell you to do so?buzy with whatever is it.don't forget to think what the hell are you really busy about?Is it worth to do it to that extent? is it inside your plan?cause there is a tendency for us to do what we are doing ,sort of inertia,to do things until it finish,kinda perfectlism.at some point of you,is just like the ants,but we are not,with the thing above our neck, which allow us to ask the question and make the different.

last but not least,happy new year,

p.s:R.I.P was used instead of farewell/goodbye to indicate the irreversibility of time.goodbye?nah~don't want give fake hope

Spare 10,000 hours to be a genius

2008-11-26T01:21:00.001+08:00

LONDON: Want to be a genius? Well, it's not that difficult -- all you need to do is to devote 10,000 hours to your chosen field, says a new study.

Researchers in Germany have found that genius is one per cent inspiration and 99 per cent perspiration, and one has to practice just 10,000 hours to reach the top in their chosen discipline, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

And, according to them, talent and luck are important, but it's practice that makes the difference between being good and being brilliant.

The researchers at the Berlin's Academy of Music came to the conclusion after looking at a group of violin students who started playing at around the age of five, practising for two or three hours a week.

As they grew older, the amount of practice increased. And, by the age of 20, the elite performers had each totalled 10,000 hours of practice, while the merely good students had accrued 8,000.

"It seems it takes the brain this long to assimilate all it needs to know to achieve true mastery," lead researcher Daniel Levitin was quoted by the British newspaper as telling BBC's 'Focus' magazine.

Extracts from Malcolm Gladwell's book 'Outliers: The Story of Success', published in 'Focus', describe practice as being the key to The Beatles' success.

In their early career the Fab Four would play eight hours a night, seven days a week while in Hamburg. By the time they hit it big, they had performed live an estimated 1,200 times -- more than most modern bands play in their careers.

Went there with a friend, who is very pro at hiking, and his roomate.The mountain quite rocky,can see some shiny quatz stone there.The whole journey was like climbing on the back of a crouching dragon,we climb along the ridge til some point we can't go further.The tiring part is when walking up the slope among bushes,the fun part is jumping from one rock to another rock and get off the hill with full speed,ya,it's challanging,n danger oso,XD

Many instrument inside:here are some of them:

华乐室里的鬼佬

好多弦的扬琴

古筝咯

in gu zhen,above for every 5 string u'll reach 1 octave.tat's because in chinese music theory,it's 五音音阶 not 8.then how to play the missing 2 note leh?notice that there are two part of string rite?right and left,right site string is for plucking 1,at the left side,u need to press the string to change the tension of string,and thus changing the frequency and u got ur missing two note.beside the missing note,when u press and let go n press(vibrate the string)some special trembling sound wil be produced,like vibrato,very nice 1.
Ya u may wonder y the hell a guy like me go learn gu zhen,walaoA,haha,i jz wnt to noe more abt chinese instrument,flute,not enough breath,erhu,not new cause i noe violin,then jz left string instrument lo,then somemore those 武侠高手都会,六指琴魔，哈哈，dun worry,u can't really kill cat like inside the Kungfu movie,u can only scare them away by the noise.

a brief recap for life between 2005-2006

MPO-Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra
The concert located at Dewan Filharmornik PETRONAS, get there by fren's car.The price is about rm15-20 (student price).The songs been played is Beethoven's symphony no.9,the one have chorus,Ode to Joy.The feeling is quite new to have a song that u had listen before been played in front of you,kinda shivering,鸡皮疙瘩。haha.Cause it's first time,i 'm not very sure how to 'listen' a orchestra,i try to close my eye,try to focus on the instrument player,try to observe the conductor's hand motion.The conductor is a foreign old guy, robotic style,can't see his facial impression cause his back facing us.I dun quite understand his hand gesture and motion,it was until recently i go study some conducting basics,a conductor right hand is used as a time indicator for the player,while the left hand is for the sounds volume,the emotion,who are going to play the parts...

i bought d rm2 cube during holiday n wanna try solve it and c how hard is it.
when d sequences are all mess up,it's east to get one face with same colour but looks like
impossible to get all faces the same colour!!It tooks me about 2days to solve it without any help.First i try to get the 8corner the right colour,after that u jz need to perform some algorithm changing the cube other than the corner cube.the step is quite long and u owes make some unwanted shift in the cube.When i running out of idea,i jz randomly shift the cube and observed the changes ,and make use of it.Finally,without removing the sticker to cheat,i solved the cube,and the protecting layer of the low quality cube almost torn down :)
