browsing other people's blogs. finding inspiration. also interesting to read people's minds where they can express their own thoughts better than a forum or ordinary website allows.

决裂

心情的巅簸
我不想说
静看悲剧降落

无情的决裂
我已无话可说
那天霏雨
整夜未停过

失去你 并不是解脱
面对失落的后果
从此悲喜我一个人过

counting lives

a doctor is given high salary because he deals with life and death of 1 people.
a pilot is given higher salary because he deals with the lives of 400 passengers.
hmm...
so is money proportional to number of lives?
how about an air traffic controller that deals with twenty planes, 10,000 people?......

"Studies show the number of airline passengers will grow from about 600 million per year today to about 1 billion by the year 2008. "


Rte 3 "Blackout Effect"

anticlimax

mayb i had too much expectation. when all exams come to an end and the long waited holiday set in finally, i am not as excited as i think i would be. yea i am completely free now, so what...... a bit anticlimax......

i start surfing net, reading books, watching series, doing all the things that i always wanted to do. i am definitely enjoying myself but i still feel lacking in something. not as enjoyable and relaxing when i was stealing my time during the exam times.

i think: leisure means more to peple who have worked hard for it.

read more physics before u come and talk to me about "noise"

dear allan,
so we are moving in. and requesting others to cut down the noise is legitimate i noe. yup we will strive to keep noise to a minimum but how can u discuss with me abt "noise" when u dont even noe wat is "decibel"? to avoid any dispute it is better we have eveything in black and white, including the noise level. so pick ur threshold then.

dB Sound
0 threshold of hearing
10 pin dropping at 10 m
20 soft whisper
30 library
40 quiet conversation
50 normal conversation
60 a busy office
70 vacuum cleaner
80 inside a small car
90 lawn mower
100 large orchestra
110 rock music
120 boom stereo in car
130 earphones up loud/ jet plane
140 air raid siren
150 military rifle

so u hv chosen 30-40 dB. goodstuff. at least we are allowed to whisper. but so sorry i forgot to remind u that Loudness is not simply sound intensity! The sound intensity must be factored by the ear's sensitivity to the particular frequencies contained in the sound. This is the kind of information contained in equal loudness curves for the human ear. It must also be considered that the ear's response to increasing sound intensity is a "power of ten" or logarithmic relationship. This is why we are using the decibel scale to measure sound intensity.

so then i will be following this "rule of thumb" ie. an increase in 10dB is approximately twice as loud. glad that we have everything stated clear. do enjoy ur stay in the new house. we will have 4 years to spend together. yup tolerance is the key to living together. so i will have the decibel scale photocopied and give it to everyone in the house. plus i will make a couple of "silence is gold" slogans and paste them all around the house, especially for u.

thankful? oh u should be. remember to clean the house with us ya...
p/s click on the above links it is good for your physics, at least let you have a more precise description of "noise" and your "noise intolerance syndrome" (diagnosed by Hong Tak)

with care,
SH

absent minded

1.30pm
one hour after we finish exam, i found that i was not as delighted that i think i would. feel that the 3hr BH paper jz sucked away all my mind.

2.10pm
wandering in the com lap, boole and the school. still duno wat am i doing here. i think i should have something to do but i just feeling empty.

2.30pm
found that my phone was not in my pocket. must have left it in the exam hall. damn.

2.35pm
completely devastated when the invigilator said they didt find anything. start staring at the student sitting at table 32 in the middle of his exam.

2.40pm
retrieved my phone after unlocking it right in front of the receptionist. luckily i can still remember the pin despite my mind was almost blank.

2.55pm
back to home. still absent minded. lucky didt langgar any tiang.....

休息和走路

有时会佩服allan的意志力。考试每告一段落，大家都会相聚轻松一下，希望休息后可以走更长远的路。但有的人就是有这份能耐，可以毫无倦怠的继续读下去。昼夜相续，晨昏不断，就一股劲地读下去。这也可算是超人的毅力吧！

如果人生可以不休息，进度应该可以快十倍有余。

但是人生并不只是走路而已。休息不是intron，可以被裁去无碍。只会赶路的人，辜负了沿途的风景，也荒废了自己的生命。赶路的人以为终点就是全部，殊不知过程才是生命的目的。走路，有时只是为了休更久的息。

这个夏天，放下庸碌，悠闲自在。

同居

有人说：同居是婚姻的试金石，如胶似漆的恋人一旦朝夕共处，才发现梦中情人完全变了样。
我说：同居也是友谊的试金石，情同手足的好友同住一个屋檐下，才发现对方的种种习性及癖好。
相见好，同住难，古今屡试不爽。听了太多耳闻口传的故事，见识了千奇百怪的众生相，难免心有余虑、战战兢兢。

2006年6月1日，开始了我和朋友同居一屋的日子。未来四年的同居生涯，会有什么事情发生呢？且让时间解开这一切...

rented... in 5 min

men always lament on the way women shopping on impulse. men nonetheless are equally impulsive when it comes to buying a car or ... a house.
today we made the most reckless decision in our life... in less than 5 minutes, we decided on a house in summerstown. then we handed in the deposit, and in an hour time, we were already holding the key of the house.

the house is quite ok but r we a bit too desperate?
guess this is the way guys deal with options... 当机立断

(didt u all realise that we actually agreed that the room shouldnt be any smaller than Sean's room?)


p/s after talking others, i think we are so thoughtless and reckless.
we visited the house at night and overlooked so many problems.
we were in a rush and forgot to ask important questions.
we tried to be polite and didt bargain at all.
we think are not being picky... in fact we are juz being slipshod.....

没有后台的人只能委曲求全

exam syndrome 谵妄

读医是打一场长战，三五七年不止。
给你山高的书本、海量的知识，加上道德的凝视、伦理的纠结，让你读得面容枯槁、形销骨立、天旋地转；然后期待你披上白褂，变成一个健康的医生，有条不紊地治理病人。
真是置之死地而后生...

医学院能让书呆子之辈加剧奋（斗）不顾身（体）；
但我们自己的醒觉呢？
嗜食饕餮继续享用煎炸快餐；
长期烟民持续吞云吐雾如故。

几时开始医生和健康再也扯不上关系？
我们学习病理学，只想到用在病人身上。为什么考试前总会有股生病浪潮侵袭？真的要置之死地而后生吗？...不知如何料理自己，怎样医治别人？


exam syndrome
characterised by continuous elevated of cortisol
palpitation, dyspnoea, cold clammy hands，hypertension
aggravated by prolonged immobility, lack of exercise
in severe case: derangement, immune disorder, delirium, bs in blogsite etc.

working hard?

i thought i have been slacking, but comparing with others make me think that i am working very hard;
i thought i have been working very hard, but the exam jz crushed my belief....

i have my own ruler, but i dont know when it really applies...

setback

a good beginnning is only halfway to success.
faced setback today. right in front of CVS. sigh.
终于知道什么是“面露菜色”了。

dreadful start

in addition... dont go to bed with an empty stomach...
gosh... cant sleep all night jz bcuz i m hungry....walau-a

advice for all exam candidates

pls be refrain from doing things that can impair ur ability to go to the exam. for example, stop cooking as u may injure ur fingers... dont sleep on the table... nerve compression... exercise like push-up... terry... u may hurt ur arm...
jz a piece of advice...
