This is erm... most... interesting advertisement. I am getting a Nissan GTR.
The Japs are damn kinky with their creativity. I am... erm... distracted. Hmm.. hmm.. hm. Mm.

And if you can't, don't worry because you are in the "Ordinary" spectrum of our social hierarchy, which most people are in. This assortment of alphanumericals is Google's method of recruiting 'beautiful minds' from the esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Google Is Searching For Beautiful Minds, But So Far No M.I.T. Students Have Broken Its Code.

It used to be that M.I.T was filled with code-breakers. Part of the movie A Beautiful Mind takes place there and in real life it’s always had close ties with the military and intelligence agencies. Tech companies also like to recruit there, and Google is no exception.

In search of some beautiful minds, Google has been putting up signs around the M.I.T campus with a code that say, “If you can figure this out, you may have a future with Google.” If they crack the code, which is a fairly simple substitution cipher (or not), it reveals a phone number where they can leave their contact information.

So far, no M.I.T. students have been able to crack the code, or at least they haven’t bothered to leave a voicemail. Maybe they need some help. The first person to crack the code gets a TechCrunch T-shirt, or maybe a job at Google if you call the number and leave your name.

We have a winner: Actually two, it was a team effort. Scott Kyle did the set-up and Hakan came up with the final answer: 617-639-0570. The number is a substitution cipher that you get by writing out 0-9 then A-Z, then using the keyword “JOBS” to shift the letters.

Interestingly, there is also a second solution (617-274-8660), which leads to another non-Google recruiting number. That one might just be a red herring, or a way to weed out the semi-smart folks who couldn’t come up with the harder solution.

That is really an interesting method of recruitment. A code which reveals more information for you to contact your future employer once you decipher it. We don't get that in Singapore. Maybe Hardwarezone can organize something like this here. Or Sgforums. Or Mocca.

Man I already feel like switching course to Computer Engineering. My new goal: becoming a cryptographer for the National Security Agency. Viva la AMERICA!

STOMP

One word. Pathetic.

This is one of the nights where I really need to sleep but can't. It feels so sickening. I've got a 8.30am lecture tomorrow and I need to mug for my CAs Thursday. My head is throbbing. I need sleep. But I can't have it.

I am physically exhausted from my canoe polo training earlier on. My body is tired. But my mind seems to be wide awake. I should probably clonk myself with my aluminium MacBook Pro or something. I wonder if I will be energetic enough to mug tomorrow. My mind is in a blank state, no thoughts, nothing and yet, I can't get to sleep. How ironic.

Perhaps this is stage 1 of fatal familial insomnia.

Cosmos, the goddess of harmony. Chaos, the god of discord.

Reigning from distant realms, the two gods had gathered warriors from all lands to lead them in savage war.

Cosmos and Chaos were of equal strength. It was believed the conflict would last forever.

But, the balance was broken. Those who answered Chaos's call created an inexhaustible force.

And under vicious attack without relent, the warriors fighting for Cosmos started to fall one by one.

The conflict that has continued for eons is now about to end in Chaos's favor.

The world has been torn asunder, sinking into a vortex of disorder.

As for the few surviving warriors...

I plunged into the abyss and rose back to the surface. The view from on top was pure exhilaration. This will not be the end.

I am rejuvenated.

I just watched The Ugly Truth together with Sher and gang. The show was fabulous, nothing like the typical romance movie that I thought it to be. Instead, it talks about the not-so-pretty truth of a relationship, which I believe some parts to be true. Men are visual creatures by nature and if women wants to attract her crush, then she needs to buy bras which says "Hello and come put me in your mouth". To quote from the movie "Do you really think guys mean it when they say they love your personality and character? What they really mean is I love your tits and your butt." Let us not deny this. We are all attracted to pretty stuff.

I highly recommend this movie to all guys and girls. It gives you a clearer insight to how men behaves and how women should go about in attracting the man of her dreams.

After the movie, Sher asked me if I was afraid of seeking a second relationship. After all, I had put in so much effort in my first and it still ended up in the drain. My answer to her was nope. Sure, I might feel apprehensive about meeting another person but it won't stop me from getting into a new relationship. I don't see the point of burning down the whole forest because of a single tree (I used to think so in the past but soon realized my folly). What has passed will remain history forever. One cannot keep living in the past and wishing that things didn't happen the way they happened. Maybe things were meant to happen that way to prepare you for the future.

So if anyone of you out there has just broke up, don't feel too bad. I know the first few moment of impact might be hard to bear. Don't try to bottle everything up yourself. Find someone to talk to and vent your anguish. Once you feel better, move on. It is obvious that your ex is not worth your time. You should hold your head up high and proudly shout "NEXT BETTER PLAYER PLEASE!"

So people. I am single and available. Any takers? Just leave a message on my tagboard and I will get in touch with you as soon as possible.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. This is so funny.

It is always interesting to see somebody try something which you really want to see but won't do it because of various reasons. Shooting an iPhone with a pistol. Who would have thought of that? This guy really has some serious issues with Apple. And he is good with a gun. Anyway, we can see from this video that the Apple iPhone has the potential to block at least one bullet for you. For the remaining ones you better learn to duck. Maybe Apple needs to create a Bulletproof app to protect its customers. Oh and a Fireproof app too. I am sure those will be most helpful.

After all, there is an App for Everything isn't it?

University life turns out to be more hectic than I expected.

I find myself sleeping at around 1am - 2am everyday in hall and waking up at 8am - 10am for lessons the next day. I cannot explain this phenomenon. Its like some mysterious force distorted my timespace continuity and fast forwarded me to the end of everyday without me knowing it. I know I have free time but I can't seem to utilize them because they seem to be expended instantaneously in the blink of an eye. It's like playing emulated Pokemon games on your PC where you simply fast forward the game to skip all the boring scenes to get to the ending fast. Now I know how Ash felt when I fast-forwarded him last time to get my Mewtwo ASAP.

Either that, or I am having some time management crisis. I should go for a few rounds of Time Crisis to set things in order. LOL.

Though hectic, I still find uni life exciting and full of surprises. For example, eye candies have been coming my way and unlike in the past, I actually had some form of social interaction with them this time round. But sometimes, I really wish they were not my eye candies. But I guess some things can't be rushed. At least now I know NTU has its fair share of attractive people too.

Some ADM student should know that better than I do.

Few tips which every guy should know when they are around girls:

- Do not ask questions which will put her in an awkward position.

E.g.

Man: Hey Jane! We met during FOC. What's up!
Jane: Oh hey hello! Everything's cool!
Man: You don't remember my name do you?
Jane: ...

FAIL!

- Don't act indifferent. Offer to help when opportunity arises.

E.g.

Jane: Shucks, I am 50 cents short.
Man: Don't worry, I got it.
Jane: Is it ok? Thanks!

- Try to remember her name. If you can't, do not let her know you forgot it. Whatever it is, try to recall it ASAP.

- Find the right time to talk. Don't yap away mindlessly.

- Give her due attention when talking to her.

I need to know when to strike! Give me a sign when the iron is hot! If the iron is even going to be ready at all.

Instant noodles (abalone flavor) and coconut don't usually go together but I am having them for supper now. Who cares what goes with what as long as if fills the stomach? If you are not happy, you can go try foie gras with Iron Guanyin tea.

I have been pretty busy with school life recently - actually, I should say I am totally bogged down by it. CAs are coming my way prematurely and I haven't really had the time to revise and digest my stuff. Oh and then I have my hall activities and canoe polo CCA as well. i surely didn't foresee myself in such a predicament 2 months ago. If it was in the past, i would have freaked out and worry myself to death over the lack of time to prepare for my CAs. But now, I am indifferent to it. I didn't even complete my online WebAssignment (that will contribute to my GPA) which I promised myself to. I wonder why am I taking things so easy. Too easily, perhaps.

As I was running through my notes today, I felt that I no longer have the studying capacity as before. It didn't take long for me to get distracted and I ended up doing something other than revision. I used to be able to study from 2pm to 12am. This might sound crazy but I believe I no longer want to study anymore. I want to quit school and go do things which I want to, traveling the world for example. There is no need to get a degree. Actually, as long as you can generate sustainable income to support yourself, you can even forsake your PSLE qualifications. After all, all we need is money to survive in today's world.

Unfortunately, obtaining that pre-requisite is not easy. We are talking about constant income every month for the rest of your life. I am sure there exist people who managed to achieve that feat but for the rest who couldn't, like myself, we will have to follow the social factory line and wait for our turn to get processed.

This is a chore. I wish there is some method for me to bypass the chain.

When movies like Bruno gets too lame and retarded, it is always good to rejuvenate yourself with some hardcore action wham-bam movies. Check out this latest kill-people-and-sell-their-meat-as-food film fresh from Thailand.



That Char Siew Bun I had a few months back was great but I guess it wouldn't hurt to have some noodles for a change.

The first thing I saw on my computer desk when I came home this evening was a letter which I would rather not see at all.



The very first thing that came to my mind was that I would need to cut my hair prematurely so that I could fit a policeman's profile. I was cursing some juicy person in my heart as I picked up the letter reluctantly to unseal it, expecting to receive an edict to serve the nation. Instead, I was greeted with a very pleasant surprise =D



Oh my beloved Division! It touches me so to know that you still remember what I did for you. It is indeed an honour for me. I shall receive this monetary reward with a wide grin!

Now let's see... now I just need $1640.00 more for that messenger bag.
