The rivers had been flooding. The rivers that received its water from snow's melting runoff from far flung land of China. The melt runoff that had been increasing due to some unnatural events and human meddling.Half of Thailand had been under water for the past month. And we're talking Atlantis untersea here. So far, just about 250 people had died in Thailand, with 800,000 families displaced. The

Just wanted to have a quiet celebration and a minute of silence for my down time. RIP, video games. I'll miss you dearly.

It began 2 weeks ago when Katnip proposed that we spend a few days during Easter break (which is actually after Easter, by the way) in Port Stephan. Who would've thought that you could have a desert next to the ocean? But at any rate, this area is a pretty touristy spot, and we found a really good deal for accommodation.Then as all good trips should be, we have multiple little kinks to work out.

So I was working on my thesis today while listening to Shoutcast radio.Then Katy Perry's song came on (I think the song was called E.T. or something). My hand went into a spasm, and I could no longer draw any diagrams.Seriously, that shit is bad with a capital B, and not in a flattering way in any manners.Take a hint, modern singers--R&B and electronica DO NOT MIX.

Why does my roommate always set his alarm clock to 6am, when it will only wake me up, and he will wake up an hour afterward anyway?WhyDoesMyRoommateTakeSoLongInTheShower.It's been an hour, and she's still not done. I just want to brush my teeth and get outta here.

The laptop is plugged in, the mattress laid down, and food stashed away. But I just couldn't get comfortable quite yet--the Blackberry had wormed its way into my heart as my newest obsession. I have heard of people saying they're addicted to it, but I thought it's just silly. Now I think I AM addicted to it. I can't believe I can now talk to people who live half way around the world away easier

February 27th, 2011. I'm back again on this deserted island.I swear, every consecutive time I have to leave, it gets worse. I was never a fan of traveling, and having been away for the 7th year is really starting to get to me.It had been a rough trip, and it was a miracle that I got here at all. Thank God for his protection throughout the time I spent back home and here.The worst thing this time

Finally..it's been a long and arduous year. It's been a while since I held a part time job while studying, but it's been fun. Thank God for all the opportunities, the people that I get to meet this year, and all the things that I learned (and did not learn, haha).To put it frankly, I didn't think I would've made it through the year. I did run into some really shoddy groups this year, meaning I

I have always felt (even if I don't always act accordingly) that life should be about serving others. If I had learn anything in the past 6 years being abroad, it's that God sent me there to learn to take pride in what I do, and to serve others to the best of my ability. But it's becoming increasingly harder to swim against the tide. Not that I'm running out of will, but more like running out of

It's just been so long since I posted something here. I figured I oughta put something up every now and then.I'm currently in a pretty bitter mood. My most recent batch of quizzes once again went very badly. The one that I thought is totally in the bag was all messed up because I answered the questions in an incorrect order. The other one--well, I don't even frikkin know what I did wrong. But I

Remember back when Thailand had all our big protests, and your graceful (NOT) reporters kept saying we didn't have a legitimate government because they weren't voted in my the majority?Well, who's laughing now, BIATCH! So much for a fucking majority government, ha? So much for democracy putting who people wanted into power, eh?

Like all good things, global recession came to an end here in Aus.Which means that things are getting expensive, again. (Well, they've been reducing the quantity when things were looking grim, and now they're raising price without increasing quality on quantity of anything...shiz).People now have the money to buy properties again too. Which means that the property developer that own my room is

So last week I was complaining about not being able to get along too well with my new roommate. A few months ago, I was also bitching about not being able to get along with the Thai people over here.Well, thank God that all changed now.I suppose the initial awkwardness with my roommate was because she's not too great at listening to Thai language (well..she's Chinese. I'm surprised she can even

Jealousy is never good for your health. But for all intents and purposes, I don't think I can stop myself from being extremely jealous of my roommates right now.I shared an apartment with 3 other people. One of them is an undergrad who actually roomed with me. The other two are PhD candidates, and they've been married since before they ever set foot in Australia.Last June, I found out that the

Maybe it's because I have this squeaky head voice, or my obsession with doing things that people tend not to do. But whatever the cause, I have always been pining over the sound of a bass. I love the cello. I adore double bass. I'm enthralled by slap bass. Why, I even picked up a viola instead of a violin because it's ..well..half an octave lower. But that oughta count, right?I still love my

Oh my man...trackwork, how I hate thee. Last year it wasn't too hard to get around, since I could catch a bus from Artarmon down to church. It's a short ride, and one without layovers.But now that I'm in Redfern...things are different.Let me lay it out for you. It's Sunday night, I naively waltzed over to the train station, not knowing that there is trackwork going on in the Northern line (which

While you younglings out there are probably enjoying yourselves, frolicking in the Australian sun and rain, visiting the Royal Easter Show, or hitting the beach for a nice surf, I'll be sitting here at home, spending most of my time writing up reports (Industry Experience report, 1 lab report, and another makeup report..more on that later), finishing up 3 assignments, and

One game has been entertaining me lately. I feel that since it must have taken up a relatively significant portion of my life lately. Let's see.. I spent about a half an hour a day actually playing the game, and maybe another hour on the forums. Yup, that's a significant portion of my time.Despite spending so much time with the game, I don't think I have anything to say about it. Games just

So I'm finally quite settled in to my new apartment with my new roommates.The flight had been decent enough. The food was nothing to write home about, but I did like the grilled fish. It has just the right amount of funkiness. I have to admit the movies were quite disappointing though. Astroboy was crap, as expected. The Invention of Lying was also much duller than I thought it'd be. Its critique

I'm back in Sydney now after spending a few months back home, doing an internship at Toyota. Before you ask anything about the recalls--I work at Samrong plant, which deals exclusively with pickup trucks. Also Toyota Thailand uses different suppliers than the US ones, so even our Camry and its cohorts do not share the problem.Anyway, it's been an interesting 3 or 4 months since I went on the

That pot is about a 5 or 6 meals worth, so yes, we're still in the realm of cheap food.Ingredients:-Like, 2 brown onions.

As you may have heard, we had some pretty nasty case of dust storm last week here in Sydney. If I understand correctly, it was due to some low pressure zone somewhere off in the outback, which kicks up a storm that blew in all the dust from the desert.No sunrise this morningMy room was washed in dreary red tint when I woke up, which sent me into a slight panic.

I always tell people that I'm spoiled, and that I am in a very privileged position. So I always feel a little bit guilty complaining about things--after all, I'm still so much better off than most people.But God knows the depth of my heart, even better than myself. And he answers my prayer even before I asks.After complaining a lot in the lost blog, I experienced a miracle straight after. My

I crave the spotlight. I want to climb out of this hole of mediocrity. I hate being the one who trails behind when our group goes out. I hate being the one who has to wash the dishes after the party. I hate being the last pick onto a team. And I absolutely hate the fact that I have never been called when people want to go out and have fun. Sure, I'd find out second hand, or through some mass

Ok, I lied. I still think a smart phone is beyond my budget and needs, so I won't be getting one any time soon. But suffice to say I will get a new phone, regardless of whatever type it turn out to be. This is because my phone is finally settling down to an agonizing demise.I have always said that I'm ok with a phone, so long as it can make calls properly. I have to admit I oversimplified things-

If American media is all about fear mongering, then Commonwealth media is all about bullshit and tabloid. But is it a surprise when the media irresponsibly public fiction as fact? At least the Aussie evening load of crap doesn't lead to Middle Eastern countries being invaded.Long story short, media everywhere should be accountable for what they print.

From getting asked "Why are you wearing a suit jacket with a T-shirt and jeans?", Sydney's urban dwellers are now being seen wearing the very thing everywhere, especially around the Sydney Uni area.

Let's do a recap on what made my head explode last week:Early last Sunday morning, I was pleasantly greeted by the Timmy-Jimmy Power Hour: Nickelodean's crossover between Fairly Odd parents and Jimmy Neutron, 2 of my favorite Nickelodean's cartoons. Sure, there are a lot of other shows that I do like, but there are always going to be places for them at the top. The show is actually a two-parter

Last week was beyond hectic. I had 2 quizes, and a presentation back to back. Granted the quizes are for pretty small percentage, it was a good time to catch up with all the things I have been doing. I think I'm doing pretty fine, courtesy to bachelor years. I have to admit that Grinnell prepped me up pretty well for anything that the world of Academia can throw at me. But at times. Being

Don't ask me what a long cat is, because I will shoot expletives back at you and then insult your mother in reply. But a long week is a week that feels extra long because of the generous workload that life endowed on you. I wish I could say that I had been made a victim of poorly randomized out schedule (I assume scheduling is a random process anyways), but the pain had been nothing but

Things are looking up and up for me right about now. Studying is going pretty well. The house has been a lot more lively with P'Young and P'Noi around, which is a very big plus. I also got myself a usb dpad for my laptop. It's mainly because I'm trying to play through Xenogears, which fits into the Xeno series that I have been playing for the past few years. The dpad also works as a mouse+

First week of second semester has its own quirks and charm. Finding out about my schedule is a bit of a shock, if not a lot of let down. Having 3 9AM classes can be a real downer when it means I have to be up by half-past six in order to make it to class on time, not to mention I can't even be loud in the morning anymore. Here's the low down on early mornings at 10/3 Barton Rd:6:30-ish, I snap

That never feels quite right, coming from someone who's so used to the Northern Hemisphere's weather. Not to mention that I'm from the tropics with its wonderfully heated 3 seasons, and have spent a great deal of time in the temperate north back in my college days. It's

It has been a while since I got any chance to do some blogging. In a way, there isn't that much going on in my life, courtesy of winter break. But in a way, the extra free time could bring about some real change if I can find a job. I highly doubt that would happen, but hey, a guy can always hope!Break is also a good time to go on trips. Initially I was planning on a ski trip with a couple of

Let's see.. I have been here since the middle of February, so that must mean that I have been living in Sydney for 4 or 5 months now. It is quite a long time, and yet not a very long time at all. But regardless of how long it feels, I can see the pile of junk in my room is slowly growing. Granted most of it is composed of paper and winter gear, I still feel quite guilty about collecting things I

Yes, I have finally finished Xenosaga 3. Released in 2006, I bought this game along with Xenosaga 2 in the winter of the year. It has taken me only 3 years to get around to finishing both of them. (I am finishing games at the rate of about 1 game per year..)It's interesting to see a game so deeply vested in philosophy and theology.

My interest have always lean toward robotics and green energy, but I'm also into a lot of other green stuff. One thing that always bugged me is plastic and aluminum containers. Since my mom has a restaurant, and my dad seems to be starting up one, and decomposable materials are becoming more feasible, maybe I should consider starting up a manufacturing/packaging business using them. I'm surprised

They normally stick with rice or noodle, but they've been eating a lot of potato lately ever since I started eating that.Additionally, I notice that my big bag of potato has been losing weight faster than it should.

Ladies and gentlemen, my bed is now warmer than before! Yes, yes, thank you for the thunderous applause. But that's not quite the end of the story. Despite my ideal day composing of 24 hours in the bed, I only spend an average of 7 hours in my tropical heaven per day.So how do I stay warm for during the other 17 hours? As geeky as it sounds, shadow boxing is the answer. For those of you who

Even though my wardrobe is a disaster and I've never care about what goes on my back, I do care greatly about what goes in my room--and equally about where they go. You can probably say that I'm a freak when it comes to functionality. I pick all my decor based on how well they function rather than the looks--which usually result in creating a lab more than a home. (Wires dangling everywhere,

I never thought the best thing about 911 out there will be from Disney. I don't know what the movie is called, but I'll have to find out. In fact, it's the best coming of age thing (including all movies and books) I have seen in the past couple of years. Maybe ever. Well..the script was great. The acting was truly horrible though.The crazy weeks for semester 1 is over. I still have 1 project to

But alas, such catastrophe would not befall you today, my dear (sole) reader.

For the past 3 years, I have been stuck inside slaving away in front of keyboards/breadboards and a whole host of other boards on every good days, or so it seems. I remember going through a semester back in Grinnell without ever seeing the sun..those were some dark times, quite literally.

Susan Boyd, I have never seen your video on youtube. I have never heard you sing. I don't even know if I spell your name correctly. But your opera singing style has influenced many.. many who really shouldn't be doing it. Now it seems like everyone just thinks singing louder makes them a better singer.I really wish you'd come out and give an interview that such a thing is not true.

About a year and a half ago, I made a decision to pause my World of Warcraft career for the lack of time. I made it very clear that I'm hell bent on hopping back on it when I find the time. I still haven't found that time yet, but I think I will soon. Sydney Uni isn't nearly as bad when it comes to draining my time as Grinnell was. I'm thinking of picking the game back up after break--right after

It's not every day that you see a helicopter lands in front of your department building. But I guess Aus defence force reserve is not sparing any expense in recruiting. They also have flight sim games and free hotdog stand setup. I was rather impressed, but didn't have time to enjoy any of the spectacle. Too much futile things are in the way.Speaking of which, I have complained to a few people (

I wonder what people would think if they see a guy whip out a plush doll and stick it up against his ear after they heard a cell phone ring.If you haven't guessed, I kind of want to try modifying my phone to look like a piece of toy. Maybe I will try that over the break.

I am once again treading down the lonely path.. the path of the herbivores.I first tried this out back in Grinnell out of curiosity, and because I don't see the point in eating things I do not need to. After all, that is not a small part of why I do not drink or smoke.But now my passion to avoid meat has once again been rekindled after a lecture in my sustainable engineering class.According to

I feel that this deserves its own post. Last weekend while I was away, the train station in Artarmon was closed down for maintenance. This maintenance takes a grand total of 2 days to finish.

There are many things on which an idle man ponder. One of the more useless thing to waste one's brain power on is what one would be like as an opposite gender.

Now that I have a bit of time to think about it, it would be a good time for Thailand to start investing in a new capital city.It is quite rare that a country would move its capital city, but in this case, I think it make sense.I would hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but we Thais know that there will be never-ending turmoil as political vacuum reaches its maximum in the next

I thought it was going to be a happy weekend overall, and as far as my sensory perceptions are concern, it is. But I know deep down that somewhere in Thailand, people are probably going through hell. Friendship with the worldWhere do all the fights and quarrels among you come from? They come from your desires for pleasure, which are constatnly fighting within you. You want things, but you cannot

The Sydney Opera house's exquisite design isn't there for show. It's supposed to enhance the acoustic throughout the entire structure. Now I haven't actually been in there, so I wouldn't know how great the sound quality is. But my personal experience leads me to believe that it is the most peculiar places that has the best acoustics when I'm singing to myself, one of them being ye old loo, the

It's the end of the month (or beginning of a new month), my wallet is running drier (whose doesn't), and despite my supposed time commitment to my school work, I managed to finish a book. Not that it's a big accomplishment--it's a children's book, and a good reader can probably burn through it in half a day."Nightmare Academy: Charlie's Monsters", by Dean Lorey. It's a pretty entertaining book

Yay, me! I just got 2 hours added onto my schedule every Monday from 4 to 6 pm. This is because a special tutorial is being added for MPE students for their catch-up classes. I won't pretend that I'm so high and mighty that this won't help me. I struggle a lot with the Mechanics of Materials homework too, since it's really not something I usually do. However, this means that I will never be home

We interrupt the normal blogs for an Emergency Blogcasting Series:I must admit that my business over the past week has been entirely voluntarily self-imposed. What would drive a man to such madness? Women, of course. I spent half of my days dreaming, and really wished I could stay sleeping just a bit longer.

I am off the opinion that Australia is all about laying back in the sun, going with the flow, and enjoying the fragrance of exotic flowers that the breeze carries in. And these are epitomized in a trip to the beach, and some nice fish and chips. So now that I have both under my belt, I can honestly say that I have indeed been to Australia.I can't believe it's been a week since I actually started

Every time I go abroad, I end up getting a laptop in a mindset that I won't be playing games with it. Last time, my laptop got degraded to my secondary computer just a couple of months after it is adopted into my family, thanks to World of Warcraft and a not-insignificant amount of peer pressure. Of course, 4 years have passed, and all of my friends have moved on to greener pastures, and I have

Something's been on my mind lately. See, a while back, I posted a blog on how uncomfortable being with so many Thais can be. I just want to point out that I was too critical in that blog--or at least it came out sounding a lot worse than I intended it to be.I stand by the my opinion that it can be utterly weird feeling like I have to try so hard to keep my connection to people. However, I have

You know you're in a slice of Japan when the serenity of your late night walk home is shattered by a resounding clash of bamboo blades. I kid you not!If there is a Little Tokyo here in Australia, Artarmon would be it. In the most surreal way, this innocent suburb is almost like a sketch of Japan. Or more precisely, Artarmon is like a caricature of Japan--the facade you often witness in anime.

Living in a strange land does have strange effects on people. Some feels alienated, and worked themselves into a loner. A lot of grown-ups I know cited learning about independence as a reason they sent their children overseas (in addition to better education than in Thailand, of course). I have to agree with that sentiment back during my college days. Not to say I didn't have friends in Iowa, but

I firmly believe that every single person should be a connoisseur of something. Since I can't do wine or whisky anymore due to the fact that I detest the taste and smell of alcohol, I have decided that the next most snobbish thing to be obsessed over is dark chocolate.Remember back in March when I raided Lindt with P' Oum's discount? Here is the full catalog of my loot from that day.And being the

For 12AUD, you can get yourself a haircut in Sydney. You can be the judge of whether this is a worthy investment or not.Do I look emo, or do I look emo? (I look even more emo in real life because of the hair at the front).First thing I have to acknowledge is that this hair style does not suit me whatsoever. I have always known that having short hair makes me look fat, but that has never stopped

Pardon the string of bad puns and alliteration in the title. Old habit dies hard.I don't know whether I really do care for that TGIF attitude when I finally leave the class every Friday night or not. But since I can't seem to avoid it anyway, I might as well enjoy all the good things about it, right?So Friday night came and went, and I ushered in the weekends with its full glory. Can you imagine

One thing that really made my skin crawls is that entertaining the idea of an outback road trip. Sure, the setting sun flooding the skyline in a gradient from orange to light pink and the chasing darkness behind me will be a most breathtaking scene, but Australia is also well known for creepy crawlies of the big and deadly kind. Dying an agonizing in itself would be terrible, but to be graced by

Ah, books--one of the simple pleasure that I have come to be reacquainted with again since I set foot on the Australian shore. I acquired these within the past 7 days (haven't read them yet, of course). I spent my time in flight and my first two weeks here reading "The Six Sacred Stones" by Matthew Reilly. This book was very appropriate for the trip for a couple of reasons: 1) I was seeking a

Hate:Group work.Grrrr!! I swear, I really do hate everything about group work. My class yesterday starts splitting up into groups to work on our projects, as well as some question sets (not to be handed it). I have had my fair share of working in groups before from Grinnell, but they are always people with the same mind set as me--physics or math students, or every now and then my friends from

Welcome to 21st century Sydney. You must be tired--why don't you go take a shower while I wash your dirty travel cloth? Oh wait..I can't. It's raining out.Oh, the joy of hanging cloth out to dry, brazenly displaying your wardrobe for the world to lay its gaze upon. Hence many who can afford space for cloth line were reluctant to commit in a relationship with a dryer. After all, it would be but a

Miracle:I think this is truly the work of God. See, I have been very absentminded lately. I forgot the starting time of one of my classes on Thursday and ended up going an hour late. Luckily I didn't miss too much that time.But then I did it again on Friday. This time it's a morning class--and an important lecture too. But as it turns out, the schedule said it was supposed to be a tutorial period

Crisis averted! After having to buy textbooks, pay rent, and pay my insurance fee, I was ..well.. actually I didn't have enough money to pay for the insurance fee. Thank God my mom could do a super quick transfer straight to my account (the good thing about having using international bank is you can just stick the money into your account in one country, and voila, it magically appears over here!)

So yesterday came and went. What's important yesterday? Well, March 2nd marked my first official class in half a year, and more importantly, my first engineering class ever. It also marked the very first class in Sydney Uni's MPE program, and I have to say I wasn't too impressed.Yesterday consists of 2 classes; Engineering Dynamics, and Mechanics of Solids. In Grinnell term, it would be the first

Last week has been relatively busy. I've been running in and out of the city every day--I suppose a good practice for when the semester starts. The first couple of days were my dealing with computers--trying to get my MSI Wind fixed, failed, then getting it exchanged for an ACER Aspire One. The overall spec is relatively the same, but Aspire1 seems to have a better control system so far, although

Sydney is small. I said it before, and I will say it again. Even all the suburbs around here are actually pretty small. I found that out by running to the nearby suburb called Chatswood. It's 1 station away, but I suppose you can actually walk there if you're not in a hurry. But running there..well.. I have to say I loved the weather, and the scenery was great. Did I also mention that Sydney and
