Many students dunno which row they should put their names in.&nbsp;Then when she was teaching she suddenly stopped and glanced through the attendance list. Eventually some students swapped their seats I just wonder they were playing the instructor. After the checking she found the number of ppl signed did not meet the number of ppl sitting in a row. But the row she is referring to was not actually that row......<IMG src="/smi/07.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>&nbsp;I still dun understand why she was doing such a silly thing......<IMG src="/smi/18.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P> <P>Polung said I was presentable. But my parents and sisters dun think so ga haha......</P> <P>The SML language was so interesting that it includes a lot of recursion, to be specific, as it has no loop keywords, functions are calling themselves recursively.</P> <P>Extremely tired in ISMT218 Lab section. I was fishing almost in the entire lab(and all of us do so I think). Andrew showed us how to&nbsp;do operations on&nbsp;routers and introduced some concepts on subnet masks, IP. Very interesting.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/629511 Tue, 05 Oct 2004 04:55 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/627823 <P>Gotup at almost 10 today. Then hurried to pack up and then go out breakfast with KKKKK. Always COMP271, MATH311 NONONONONO I dun want to hear that! <IMG src="/smi/32.jpg" align=absMiddle border=0></P> <P><IMG src="/smi/18.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>&nbsp;Many "???????" for&nbsp; MATH311 today. The instructor didn't explain any further about those rotation matrices, especially for the associations I just guess the pattern from examples.</P> <P>Just had a hot chocodrink at Cafe and then HUMA102. Oh Derek and I's guess on Turkish was totally wrong <IMG src="/smi/46.gif" align=absMiddle border=0>. The word form was just determined by the root vowels.<BR>OHOHOH almost forgot all the things in ISMT218. So difficult to answer Percy's questions.<BR>Then dinner with KKKK and Kei. McDonald's meal. The yoghurt was just too expensive! I had that meal for over $30!!!!! In McDonald's!!!!!! <IMG src="/smi/12.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P> <P>COMP251 extra tutorial at 7. Had a more clear idea of what the assignment was doing. So lucky the TA of L2 dun speak. If she speaks then the lecture theatre must have a lot of feedbacks!!</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/627823 Mon, 04 Oct 2004 07:15 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/626374 <P>Never realize any problem with kkkkk if we all didn't have dinner together. It is so odd! But I still dun understand why he is like that......<IMG src="/smi/22.gif" align=absMiddle border=0><BR>I dare not to talk with him about his love affairs...... even his problems recently encountered.</P> <P>Finished COMP271 assignment. The algorithms are very easy to be found.<IMG src="/smi/04.gif" align=absMiddle border=0></P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/626374 Sun, 03 Oct 2004 10:23 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/621704 30/9<br> Buffet with my jongmates. I seemed had had a lot but, still not completely full. Mostly were sashimi and with quite a lot of wasabi. But still, my most favourite was fried oyster yummy! Duck ordered many dishes that wouldn't be/shouldn't be eaten by us, most of them were not good. So rare Gavin came I never expected that! <br> * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * - * <br><br> As I had my tutorial today I left school very early. But I had been waiting for the bus for almost half an hour! Dunno what happened. The route 269C suddenly changed its route, so odd. It was so late that I just arrived at the exchange terminal at 12:50 and so I change to the route 263M which stops just at my students' village. Spent another half an hour to wait for that, late for almost 30 minutes. My student didn't have any lessons(but actually not) at school this week. Today's tutorial was mainly a chat I think. Had a haircut after my tutorial. Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/621704 Sat, 02 Oct 2004 06:10 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/614604 <P>I just slept about 5 hrs and the packed my stuffs and back to UST.</P> <P>Can hardly call kkkkk as usual. Went tea with him after shower. He came with his roommate. Take the lift with some studs(i'm not sure if they're from UST), one was talking about the popularity and quality of students in school of engineering. He said the top department was Civil Engineering and EE&nbsp;and, MECH was just the worst one(But it's not the truth). We 3 were giggling as KKKK's roommate is from MECH. Many top students are from CPEG(computer engineering), and those from other departments are on average quality and I want to emphasize that many EE students are at lower quality, on average.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/614604 Wed, 29 Sep 2004 10:05 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/612815 <P>Feeling better today, but still with headaches.</P> <P>COMP271 lesson the instructor another definition again! This time the definition for span. (I found that majority of students dun understand what she was talking about) Got my handout printed in barn and then bought lunch in Cafe. Met Falcon. She looks very tired today. I think she is now working for her thesis......<BR>KKKKK said he just went to Chasnov today, for the MPhil sort of "requests"(I just dunno how to describe it.) I tried to think if I will proceed to MPhil in CS.....not sure yet, as recently I just know one professor&nbsp;and she is just&nbsp;visiting. And the most probably the field I will do research in is the computer music, and the "worst" case(I just consider it as a worst case), multimedia. !!That means I gotta take COMP341, 342 &amp; 343 in next semester if I..... impossible!</P> <P>Found an interesting for our COMP251 assignment. "拜神"(Bison)! The programming assignment is similar to the one in two years ago and almost one-third of them dunno how to 拜神!!! Actually 拜神 is a sort of difficult task.</P> <P>Then the lab of networking. I was just wondering how I could leave early but the real situation was not. Thousands of stuffs need to be done. The labs were tough. I and my partner were stuck in the first task. We only need to use a crossover cable to connect two pcs and ping them but no response at last. Troubled around and seeked for help. We need to RE-ENABLE the connection again! The tasks followed were smooth luckily, and the last one I think it was the most troublesome. Using routers to connect to two sets of connection: from PC to switch to router. We checked all the physical connections again and again, no problem, but still, cannot be pinged. At last we found the problem was, there were two AUI converter in one router, one with IP and one without. We plugged the one without IP so the connection cannot be detected.<BR>So interesting. We now have learned a lot of cables and their connection properties. The one we are now using is RJ-45 UTP straight-through cable(with&nbsp;two T568B heads, T568B heads are commonly used in recent cables). We had already done the making of cables in the lab last week.</P> <P>So many ppl in the busstop today! As if it is outreach day today. I had to wait half an hour to get on the bus. A jam in Tai Lam tunnel. Till home I spent almost 2 hours on rides!</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/612815 Tue, 28 Sep 2004 13:17 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/611596 <P>It was just running smoothly.<BR>Feeling a little bit better today. Had some pills and then went to MATH311. After COMP252 I had already been being in hunger for a long time. Attempted to have lunch in LG5. However it was the day the most crowded that I had ever seen in these 3 years. Changed to Cafe. So odd that I had a dish of speghetti (as I never have speghetti outside my home). The HUMA102 was teaching Turkish today. So interesting! I then went to 4/F to submit the CRE application form. Insufficient details, got the ID copy in library. Then ISMT218 immediately. After all the lessons I went to 4/F again and it needs student ID! Another copy in library again.</P> <P><IMG src="http://ihome.ust.hk/~ma_cyh/cgi-bin/diary/archive/20040927_1.gif"><BR>I almost forgot to post this one.... I finished this GUI a few days ago, to manage my XML files.</P> <P>A funny link: Physiognomy. <A href="http://www.pointmasters.com/Face_Palm_index/">http://www.pointmasters.com/Face_Palm_index/</A></P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/611596 Mon, 27 Sep 2004 07:17 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/610347 <P>26/9<BR>Cycling with math-mates today. It was too hot. Very rarely Match didn't come as he was in fever. Totally 7 ppl joined the gathering.<BR>Daisy can ride at last. We rode a long way from taiwai to maonshan, i would be the best if we can ride to taipo. Lunch in Mc'Donalds in maonshan, we saw children in the birthday party were making hand-made lanterns, so cute. Return after the meal at almost 3. But shun's bicycle was crashed and it was out of order. We went to the nearby bicycle shop to fix it, took about half an hour to get there. The ride was not vigorous today so we didn't get to one destination very fast. It was almost 6 when we returned to taiwai. But there's a big improvement for Daisy ar, at least she can ride, even better than angel ar i think(i'm referring to the speed and stability).</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/610347 Sun, 26 Sep 2004 20:45 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/604626 <P>Get prepared for the self-introduction for LANG lesson after getting up. And then went out to buy my breakfast and got my COMP271 handouts printed. Our lecture session's COMP271 syllabus is flying very rapidly and the instructor said something inside the handout was out of syllabus so we can simply skip it. Polung said we need to rush a little bit so the self-intro stopped and moved to the next topic Application letter in LANG. So lucky! Had some snacks(I think it is) in lunch and finished the remaining part of COMP251. The lecture today(bison) was extremely boring which can be compared to those in COMP151. I and Trewina were falling asleep we are sitting next to the&nbsp;TA even! Had a nap between the lecture and the lab section. Flex again today! One student was asking too many questions and it makes me feeling annoyed. The TA asked us to "try" the assignment throughout the whole lesson and almost nothing new (at least bison) is mentioned.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/604626 Thu, 23 Sep 2004 09:45 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/601825 <P>Left room a little bit late so I just had a bread for my breakfast.</P> <P>Polung said I look like a police inspector, with great potential to work in that sector. I was just wondering if I work as a police...... John was very grey. Once he sat on the interviewee's seat he was told he might not be successful in police inspector interview as his appearance was not smart enough, but he still can apply for a maths teacher very easily. There are&nbsp;2 reasons. Reason 1, he looks like a teacher. Reason 2, he probably won't, oh no, i should be "can hardly" fall in love with his students due to his appearance. :P</P> <P>I answered a question in COMP251 lesson, it was funny although I can't get the correct answer.</P> <P>Saw the doctor again. The pills are a little bit more heavier, especially the one for my trachea. As the lab of ISMT218 was swapped with yesterday's lecture which had been changed to tomorrow so then I had a nap at hall. Dinner with KKKKK.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/601825 Tue, 21 Sep 2004 09:17 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/597677 <P>Still not feeling well so I cancelled the tutorial this week.</P> <P>Have a deep read of the XML book I just borrowed, there are so many COMP251 things! So lucky that I'm taking 251 this semester.</P> <P>Dinner with KKKKK, shan, letter and tracy. Have 100-year egg congee and malah cake again. The egg taste usual today.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/597677 Sun, 19 Sep 2004 07:27 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/592873 <P>Gotup at 8. Its the day which Huiman is getting up earlier than me. I immediately gotup and had a shower, and then sleep again. Huiman then suddenly wokeup again and he had a shower too. As his first lesson was at 10 so he left early. I just went out and had my breakfast at 10.30.</P> <P>The COMP252 lesson was totally sleepy. I slept with my eyes open.<BR>Congee again for lunch. Fresh beef this time. Yummy!<BR>Gary joined our HUMA102 today. Today's topic was the explanation of steps to identify a piece of writing of unfamiliar language. Since I had my own explanation so I immediately wrote down on my notebook and, it was totally different from Dr. Zhu's.<BR>So tired so I skipped my COMP271 tutorial and back to hall to sleep.<BR>Attended COMP252 lab section at 5. The instructoral&nbsp;assistant(He was the instructor in COMP180 last semester)&nbsp;was so funny that his first greeting was "welcome to COMP152"........ Saw Wayne again in this lab. He said we are going to Re-U, but with we two only, haha. He will be my partner in COMP252 project. He want to add one more member so that his friend cannot join us(his friend was always hanging around and do nothing).</P> <P>Then meet KKKKK and Kei. We then went to CS Lab again and found that, there will be so many COMP courses we want to take in next semester. COMP111, COMP231, COMP303, COMP342, COMP343, COMP361..... KKKKK plan to take 3 COMPs next semester, so crazy! (But I also plan to take 3, too. :P)</P> <P>Congee again in my dinner. It's 100-year egg congee with pork, but its flavour was a little bit strange, especially the eggs. I had malar cake as well. Not been eating it for so long time! It taste so good!</P> <P>We then went to library to borrow some computer-related books. I borrowed one XML and one SVG(web graphic, quite new I think). KKKKK borrowed JAVA and JSP and financial maths.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/592873 Fri, 17 Sep 2004 08:15 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/591667 <P>16/9/2004 (Thur)</P> <P>I was just feeling not very well so I went to see the doctor after I finished washing. I still have a lot of pills even my symptom was not so severe.</P> <P>I try to sit very far away at the COMP271 lecture. Fortunately the instructor didn't ask me question. I was almost sleeping at the lecture.<BR>After LANG class I had my lunch and my pills again. As I had my anti-cough tablets so I felt&nbsp;very sleepy in COMP251. Trewina&nbsp;and Tammy&nbsp;said my performance was not so well. After class I went back to hall and sleep. Then I went to the COMP251&nbsp;lab section.</P> <P>Dinner with KKKKK, shan and potato's old roomate. Had a congee tonight, it was SO DELICIOUS(although I was sick)!</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/591667 Thu, 16 Sep 2004 19:30 EST http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/589007 <P>My sister phoned me for help of her report very late at night.</P> <P>I think I've got a little sick today. Big sorethroat when I gotup. Had breakfast with KKKKK daisy and Roy.</P> <P>Today's COMP252 was still the instructor from L3, and he said he would be teaching in this lecture until friday. The topics was still, a very boring one.</P> <P>The students in the MATH311 tutorial were too naughty! KKKKK was just playing Roy's accessories and even Ting's! But the most funny thing was, Kei was always insulting Roy, he rarely do so you know.</P> <P>Maggie attended today's HUMA102 and, there was a quiz! There was also a quiz at the last time she attend this course. Today's quiz was about Tajik, also can guess the words' meaning by using simple logic, but a little bit harder this time.</P> <P>Tea with maths-mates then.</P> <P>Huiman is now working for his project, the midi synthesiser/music editing software. It is so amazing! I just know how to use it very well but I never expect I would have the chance to write such a program. Maybe I can do so in next semester's COMP342.</P> Personal http://hk.zorpia.com/octomata/journal/589007 Wed, 15 Sep 2004 07:23 EST
