心的频道：桥

我有一群较好的同事朋友，工作以外还有互动的那种。

有一起吃午餐的、

有一起玩桌上游戏的、

有一起打羽球的、

有一起玩桌式足球的、

有一起唱歌的、

等等。

其实多数都是同样的一群人里，依据喜好和彼此的关系程度再凑成的，数目少点的小一组人。

一起吃午餐的那几位应该也是感情最好的，共同在许多小组内。

然，午餐那小组人中，也还是有一两位是不一同打球的，一两位是不一起唱歌的啦。

我常常会觉得我在这群人里扮演着桥的角色，连接两岸的桥。

把认识的同事朋友带入其中一个小组中，或把不同小组的同事朋友连接起来，从一组融合进另一组。

就这样，那一群人的总数就慢慢增加，渐渐大家就会熟悉，整群人的朋友圈就变大了。

好事来的，不是吗？

希望不会有过桥抽板，或一把火烧了桥的人啦。

There's a first for everything

One would have thought that for someone who stays in the hotel room after work, and only goes out for meals, I would have plenty of time to write blog.

I blame the movie channels, and online streaming (hey, gotta watch Running Man =P ).

And my generally tired state I suppose.

My initial plan is to work on one of my short stories. I have brought along the files of all those unfinished stories, but I haven't even bothered to open them.

Just not in the right state of mind I suppose. A tired mind is not conducive to story writing.

Anyway, this entry is handwritten using the pen on my Ultrabook touchscreen in the tablet mode. First time ever, the whole entry, handwritten.

A few more days to go for this business trip, so there may still be hope for the short stories. At least one of them.

Okay, maybe a section. Erm, a paragraph...

Random behaviour for October 2015

Succeeded in my September's impromptu resolution, as shown in the previous entry. feel good +1

Again, I continued the July's resolution as well throughout September, only missed the first day. feel good +1

As for October 2015, starting after I post this, my impromptu resolution is: not to ask wifey about having a daughter.

Because I can asked wifey for ideas and she said so.

An aeroplane a day, part nine

This is the creation to fulfill my September resolution.

I don't want to insult the cool and sleek Macross as well as ruin my own childhood memory so I will just say that this creation is based loosely on Macross. =P

If you don't know Macross, then Google it! it's a fighter jet that can transform into a half-jet-half-robot, and also a full robot, or mecha if you are a geek like me.

Anyway, took me a few days, but here it is.

Fighter jet mode:

The half-jet-half-robot mode:

And the full robot mode:

Not easy to build something that transform with the LEGO parts I have, I wanted to do some cooler transform mechanism but I don't have the parts that can do it.

Either that or I just lack the crazy l33t skill.

I am sticking to lacking of parts and LEGO limitation. =P

Progress

Or the lack of... -_-

Anyway, needed to refer to a paper while working on the thesis today, wanted to make sure I quoted the right source.

So I went to the storage space and unearthed the box that contains my PhD stuff. Box 22, numbered for the shipment back from England all those years ago.

Appropriate enough, top most in the box are newspaper clippings of all things depression related. Yes, go figure.

The bio-degradable plastic bin bag I used to protect the PhD stuff has started its disintegration process, bits and pieces everywhere. Meh!

Anyway, found the paper I needed and got my facts right.

My supervisor suggested to remove from the thesis some of the stuff I did. It's not needed, he said, downgrading from a PhD thesis to a MPhil thesis.

I did the research in the thermal management of electric motor and the power electronics that drives the system. The work on electric motor thermal management, while not as hefty as my work on the power electronics thermal management, still was genuine hard work.

The time and effort I put in is going to amount to nothing now with the removal of everything related to electric motor in the thesis.

Just because the cooling of the electric motor is trivial compared to the cooling of the power electronics doesn't mean there's nothing to learn from it, you know?

Oh well, bollocks! I just want to get this over with.

It's with great reluctance that I completely removed a chapter, and modified the rest to expunge everything to do with electric motor thermal management.

All that time and effort to do the research and then to produce the chapter, gone.

Impressed, then not

Brain is shutting down, time to sleep.

But I have to say, man, I am impressed after going through the thesis.

My thesis.

Took me hours just to go through the whole thing. Again. Since, what, a year ago?

I can hardly believe I actually produced it, that many years ago.

How did I do it?

I must have been a lot smarter then, for I honestly don't think I can produce something like that now.

And dammit why is it still not PhD worthy?

Bollocks.

睡觉天

下雨了。

真好，可以清洗烟霾，让空气清新点。

下雨天凉凉的，很好睡觉。

想想齁…

当外面因没责任感的脑障人弄得烟霾密布时，还是呆在家里睡觉好点。

当大晴天外面太阳热热时，也还是呆在家里睡觉好点。

当外面阴天弄得人没劲懒懒散散时，不用说都是呆在家里睡觉好咯。

呵呵，天天都是睡觉天，耶！ =P
