宝贝父女兵

It's a nice show. I'm not good with actor names, but I like the actor who played King Kong. He hadn't been on air as a major character in a long time, much less as the male lead. It seems the show was made for him, as he fit the role of a father-gangster perfectly.

One of the most memorable and hilarious segments was the lackey duo. One of them was a real-life kungfu master, forgot his name too. The part about them abducting the 'Chairman' 's daughter was hilarious.

"我们要的赎金是50万."
The thin guy signals five, five.
"啊... 啊, 是5.. 500万."
Smacks head.
"我们稍后会通知你如何把钱交给我们."
Hangs up.
"笨蛋! 我说的是5万啦! 500万这么高的赎金, 他们不报警才奇怪!"
"哎呀! 那..那你要我做么, 打回去说有discount啊?!"

ahaha, not word for word, but lolz, it was v.funny..

Okay, bad things about the show.

It stretches your imagination and belief near the end. Am I to expect a gangster head [Big Head Hong] will just have 1 single lackey [Peter Lim]? And the part about kowtowing to Weird Granny. The gangster obviously outnumber the good guys. The bad guys could have just attacked the good guys and disposed of them for good. And the digicam too. Doesn't make any sense at all.... And the final scene. Anyone can just walk away from a crime scene just like that?!

And the story... it's supposed to be about father and daughter. Instead, the last 2 episodes, supposedly the epic, the climax, was about the couple. Please, why does every local Chi drama have to be about couples!!!! Just take the current 6 o'clock and 7 o'clock Ch 8 drama for eg. The main theme is about at least 3 young couples!! What's the matter, out of storylines????!!!!

Okay, so ignore that fact that the storyline digressed at the end. But what about the other few characters that were introduced?! The bun seller Coconut and co, at first I thought they were filler. Then as the story progressed I thought, hm, they were a nice break from talking too much about the gangster side. But at the end, they were just completely left out! They were filler! And the rich sibling pair, also filler! WTH, I'm sure you can just skip into the future and ignore the fact that your father and stepmother just had a car crash, found out they were gangsters, that your stepmum is your girlfriend's mother, and the lives of every other secondary character in the series.

As bad as the ending was, it was still a nice show. Somehow I always hate the endings. They will have some amazing crisis and stuff near the end, that's like, completely out-of-context and stuff.

I like the fact that they actually employed some real-life hawkers as extras in the show, during the Chun-chun walking through Tiong Bahru Market scene. But.... you DEFINITELY CANNOT walk from Tiong Bahru Market [between Outram and Tiong Bahru MRT] over to Ghim Moh Market [around Buona Vista MRT]. Hm.. well.

I cringe at that little red blotch that's supposed to be an explosion.... 'cause Timcampi's running away from an Akuma swarm... which I didn't draw as well... 'cause I tot of the context after I inked the lines...

Physics Guide

Everyone's writing their own Physics Guides... Maybe it's because Chem had one but Physics didn't? Maybe it's because Physics is actually pretty manageable if you got the definitions and formulas nailed down? Maybe it's because we just all love Physics?

Whatever the cause is, it's really nice to see people trying to help each other out by distributing their guides. I have my own Physics guide written yes. But I don't feel like distributing it 'cause I really don't think it's good enough... Though I must say I like my layout better. =D

Looking through the distributed Physics guides [I've seen abt 3 i guess], I realise my own was kinda myopic in a way. I'd left skimpy details in Superposition... a lot of missing stuff. Like now-where do you find anything about path difference, phase difference, or the path difference required for constructive/destructive interference. I got the formula connecting path diff to phase diff though.

I guess I unconsciously excluded what I was afraid of [superposition], and only included stuff I like. Also a lot of stuff I expected myself to figure out intuitively, if not work out myself. Which might be a good or bad thing, depending whether you're rushing or have time to burn.

I do have a Physics guide that few in this world have though! An ODE.NET guide, which is a Physics Simulation Engine for C#!!! =D Yep, that's what I was working on, for the eve of the Prelims thus far. 'course, i did my revision lah! Except Maths. D= died-ed.

ODE = Open Dynamics Engine. Basically you have a geometry. Which is a shape for collision detection. Then you assign it a body. With a mass. That body will give it velocity, position, angular velocity, inertia. You advance the simulation by integrating the forces and momentum with time. Of course, you don't actually integrate! You just call a function. Then you take the values and render an equivalent object in DirectX or OpenGL.

There is not a single ODE.NET guide on the net right now. Mine is the first. =D =D Also there's very few ODE guides, which being the C++ version, you'd think have a lot of materials. But none. So mine is the few ODE tutorials out there too. If you have nothing better to do like me, you can see it here at http://cardinal4.wetpaint.com.

Man, coffee really makes you not wanna sleep. I'm amazed that it's already 1am, after a tiresome Prelim [Maths] paper, and not feeling the slightest fatigue. This is my first time experiencing such late-night energetic-ness. Lolz... only had my first cup of hawker kopi-o xiu dai [no sugar]. My parents' anti-sugar rally hehe.

9 11 ... Conspiracy?

It's unbelievable how many people are still inclined to believe 9/11 is a conspiracy by the Bush government. It hardly is. Dude. Osama is a consipiracy... a fictionary character imagined up by the Bush government. Don't you se the seemingly invisibility of Osama.. how he hides? How he has this stereotypical turban and predictable anti-US crusade? It's all a hoax!

To claim it's a hoax is to belittle the American Government [Bush of course is another matter], and the lives of those who perished in the tragic incident. Seriously...

Conspiracies are interesting, but do take it with a heavy pinch of salt, especially if it's a global event, modern global event, and even worse, a modern disastrous global event that involved the lives of many innocent people.

PS: I say modern because technology now has the capability to record detailed incidents and analyse between truth and false.
