setsumeikai in tokiyo

i'm going to tokyo again tonight to attend yet another company briefing.

the headquarter of the company is in kanagawa prefecture but they choose to do the briefing in tokyo because the company just bought a huge space in the japanese times building at tamachi.

there is going to be yet another aptitude and creativity test after the briefing. i gotta be sharp for that.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

today at the lab, we set up login accounts into the university's mathematica workstation, and for the first time were able to test the codes that we wrote before to test wether the computer understands our amateurish coding skills.

i just don't understand why should we go through all the hassle of using unix just to operate a fortran calculation. that operating system is super user-UNfriendly!

マレーシアか！？ pastu citer pasal pakcik NHK

マレーシアかっ！？

TAKA風に突っ込みを入れたい！


今日は３５度

これ、マジでマレーシアより熱い！

さっき汗濡れのNHKの役員のおじさんが家にやってきた。

今回で２回目。

一回目のときは、

「いや、僕は光テレビ使ってるから、NHK映らないよ」と嘘ついたら、なんとか帰らしたが、

今回のおじさんは強かった。

成長したな！NHKのおじさん！

一月１３９５円を払わなければいけないっ！

納得いかないな。。。

だってNHKなんか見てないもん。。。

なのになんで払わなきゃいけないの？とNHKのおじさんに質問したら

「いや。。。これは放送法の決まりで。。。」

しょうがないか。。。

でも来月からは払わないつもりでいたけどね。。。

bunken happyou

alhamdulillah the presentation went smooth.

well... maybe it did not went exactly like i wanted it to ran.

i happened to forgot to set the stupid automatic progress function off; so the program changes the slides automatically after a short period of time. that was so clumsy of me.

at least i didn't get scolded as bad as okada-kun did.

man, i pity him. he made a little mistake for not using the pointer effectively, and got scolded big time by this one particularly cranky professor.

the very second the ruthless scolding moment stopped, everybody in the room went silent. probably the professor had a bad day, and lashed out on something so small.

he's just out of luck, i guess.

ok, now i got more time to focus on doing the mathematica programming language fortran. i think i'm kinda left behind in progress compared to the other kids in the research lab. i used to do C++ before, so i guess it wouldn't be that hard to play catch up.

i also have to prepare for the coming job-interview. this time i will have to sit for an aptitude test (適性試験） plus a 'weird' imagination test　（想像力試験）. anything they'd to to make an interviewee's life a little bit more nervous.

cheeky bastards.

anwar liwat 2nd ver : seven sodomy conspiracy theories

you can read the full article here.

1. A certain political rival of Anwar is behind it.
2. Anwar himself is behind it.
3. Both of them are behind it.
4. Saiful Bukhari is acting alone.
5. One of their close aides is behind it.
6. An even bigger player is behind it.
7. The biggest conspiracy of all - it really happened.

praktis present

aku start buat slide untuk presentation dari pukul 10:00 a.m.

garu sana, garu sini.

siap pukul 7:00 p.m.

so aku ajak la memba2 satu lab untuk tengok presentation punya rehearsal.

10 minit 32 saat. takde la terlebih limit masa pon.

pastu aku tanya diaorg: so, ada apa2 kesalahan? atau nak komen apa2?

" ok, nak start dari mana dulu. mula2 kan, ada penggunaan kanji yg tak betul. bukan tak betul, cuma bunyi tak best aje. pastu kat bahagian isotope tu, baik jangan pakai kanji, pakai katakana aje, lagi senang org faham. bla bla bla "

seribu satu komen, pembetulan, idea di lontarkan.

ooo nampak nya diaorg nih memang betul2 tengok ngan teliti la presentation aku nih. ingatkan tengok - tengok ayam aje. org jepun nih memang semangat aje all the time.

" bercakap pon kena practice lagi, biar bagi lancar sket. biar bunyi macam org jepun. pronunciation dah ok dah, cuma kelancaran aje yg masih bunyi mcam foreigner "

allo, aku memang foreigner pon.

kulit sawo matang.

hitam manis, kalo ikut kata peminat aku time form 3 dulu.

hehehehe.

pastu pegi panggil prof plak, untuk last check.

" hmmm..... banyak gak kena betul kan nih. lagi penting drpd tu, kamu faham tak teori yg sum frequency generation spectroscopy nih pakai? contact-mode atomic force microscopy nih penah pakai? continuum mechanics ada faham? "

aku geleng kepala. toleh tengok memba2 aku yg sedap aje mengomen aku tadi, diaorg pon geleng kepala.

" ok la kita start dari basic. high school physics. dulu penah buat experiment pecah kan cahaya pakai slit kan? wavelength berbeza ... friction nih kena kira sampai scala nano ... zarah2 nih serap cahaya, tukar kepada tenaga translational kinetic pastu pantul balik jadi haba ... perbezaan friction bole dikesan diantara berlian yg disaluti layer hydrogen ngan deuterium ... bla bla bla "

aku rasa tak penah aku dapat sebanyak ini ilmu dalam masa 3 jam. memang power la prof aku! senang2 aje dia citer subject yg major dalam materials enggineering, sedang kan dia mechanical enggineering punya prof. berasap gak otak aku nak proses sumer information nih.

dah la aku rasa kena tipu ngan cikgu fizik dulu2. teori nak cari friction yg diajar time skolah dulu tak tepat rupanya, kalo nak ambik kira luas dalam skala nano. aku makin faham sekarang kenapa dulu kita kena terima aje result yg padat ngan ralat.

3 jam jugak aku tahan berak. fuuh memang mencabar.

tengok jam kat dinding. pukul 10:30 malam. gilak ah.
