I didn't follow the APA style. I thought it was too complicated. No, actually it is not. It is just that I am too lazy recently.

The cut-off points of hostel stay for PGP is 45 points this year compared to 37 points last year. This is really crazy. I don't know why this cut-off line raised so much.

Recent years due to the rising rental outside campus, students intend to make more CCA points in order to live in campus. However, some CCA clubs organize activities for seek of earning CCA points. In my point of view, some activities are rubbish. A famous example is the club called Bingo. There was a Enterprise talk in UCC center last semester. This club gave CCA points based on how much tickets a student can sale. I felt like they were just doing business.

Hopefully the NUS new campus can be built soon. It may bring some hope of changing the objective of some CCA clubs.

Simples things usually don't work in real life. Things in really life are complicated. That't true. That's why people invented FM.

FM stands for frequency modulation. In real situations due to noise, delay, and muli-path effect the amplitude of a signal are easy to be changed while the frequency of a signal is hard to be affected. In radio broadcast, most wildly used method is FM.

This is a suprising news. Shinji was the capation of the 5th squad. And he left Soul Society 110 years ago. When he was the captain, Aizen was only the vice captain of the 5th squad. Now the question is how he became a Vizard from a Shinigami.

Now the story become more and more interesting. All the captain level Shinigami, Vizards, Arrancars, and the three previous Shinigami captain have gathered in Karakura. A big battle will begin.

However, it seems that Aizen is the final boss in this manga. I think if Ichigo can control his inner hollow and fully master his Bankai, he will reach the level of Aizen soon. But now the next enemy for him is the 4th Espada, Ulquiorra. I wish Ulquiorra has a nice release form.

The Invisible Dangers

Electromagnetic radiation is the most natural way of energy transfer in nature, and it has been widely used in our daily life. Some applications of electromagnetic radiation are microwave oven, antenna, cable TV, and mobile phone. One caution of using electromagnetic radiation is that certain percentage of radiation which always expose to all direction in any media. If the radiation exposure is strong enough, it will cause problem to human body. According to Moeller (1992), “Nowadays exposures from radiation are potential threats to human health in the workplace and in the general environment.”(Moeller, 1992, p. 184)

Strong radiation threatens human health. The principle behind this is simple. When electromagnetic radiation passes through a conductor, it generates moving charge which is known as electrical current. When electrical current move through something which has resistance, it will create thermal energy. Generally speaking, current can heat up matters.

Human body can be seen as a conductor. It is made of molecules which are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation. When radiation passes through human, molecules inside the body will be excited and generate thermal energy. In an macro point of view, molecules’ temperature will rise. If the radiation is strong enough, molecules will then be heated. For example, if a person put his hands on a large transmitting antenna, his or her hands will be burned. That’s one of the most important reasons why large antenna must be built far away from residential area.

Being specific, one type of electromagnetic radiation has deep effect on human health, which is called cell phone radiation. Scientists call it the invisible dangerous, because when people use cell phone; their head will usually have a close contact with the cell phone which is considered to be a radiation. The radiation has a direct impact on human brain.

In China, cell phone radiation has become a big problem. Unlike in America, in China the standards of cell phone radiation are not strictly regulated. And due to the boom of China’s economic. The business circle of cell phone is very short. In every few months, new cell phone models will be seen in the market. Very often each model of cell phone may mostly last one year in the market. It created difficulty to regulate the standard. As a result, customers in China suffer health danger.

Solving this problem is not a one side job. Firstly, government must set strictly laws to regulate those cell phone producers. Secondly, lower power cell phone technologies should be used to reduce the EMF radiation strength. Thirdly, we need to use cell phone less in our daily life.

Life is not linear

Shit! I put so much time on today's test, but I only got 50 out of 100. Although the average score is between 30 and 40, I should not compared with the average. Life is not linear. I thought by putting more effort I will get much better. I was wrong. Sometimes luck is an important factor. That's why some people say there is always a X-factor.

It stopped at 22

Houston Rockets lost today. Their winning streak was ended. Some of my friends feel sad about their lost. I said to one of my friends “Yes, they lost. So what? Watching basketball is just for fun, right?” He disagreed with me. He said “How can we do that? We should support Rockets.”

Sometimes I really feel strange about this thinking. I believe watching sports is just for fun. When Yao Ming joined Houston Rockets, a lot of Chinese people, including quite number of my friends began to this team. They became the fans of Rockets. Unfortunately, Rockets sucked in last four years.

Personally I think Yao Ming is a good player, but it is not worthy to become his fans. The fact is no matter how well he plays doesn’t not guarantee I will be healthy. I think it is better to do some sports for our health instead of admiring those “star” players.

I did a survey just now. I was asked if I mind work with female engineers. My answer is I don’t care. I think gender is not a main issue. I believe the most important thing should be the output. I mean who I like to work with is depend on how much output can we create if we cooperate. Gender and age is not important criteria for me to consider. I like productive engineer.

Zero Waste vs Landfilling

The zero waste method is more suitable for all countries around the world, including my country, China. The zero waste method has several advantages compared to the traditional landfilling method. Firstly, using the zero waste method, plastic pollution (white pollution) can be solved because plastic products have an extremely stable chemical structure. While by landfilling, these products are only put underground, while using the zero waste method, plastic can be recycled into raw material for new products. Secondly, using the zero waste method can reduce costs. For example, some products like cars, washing machines, and computers contain different metals inside. If these metals can be recycled, industry will be less dependent on hunting new resources. It actually reduces the cost to the society. Thirdly, using the zero waste method will make less land pollution than the land filling method. The problem with land filling is all kinds of waste are stored underground. And because wastes can affect soil, the soil will be polluted. In conclusion, the zero waster method is more practical, more economical, and more environmentally friendly. More countries should accept this method.

Here are some famous words said by NUS professors.


Engineers like number 2, 5, and 10. They don't like 3 or 7. When some number is divided by 3 or 7, you won't get a nice number.

This is the only computer course in year 2. If you can't learn it well, it will be a shame. And assembly language may be the last computer language you learn. If you can't learn it well, it will also be a shame.

Don't be the salve of formulas.

The spirit of engineering is usefulness.

Things in real life are complicated. Simple ways usually don't work in real life.

In real life, nothing changes instantaneously.

XXX(a country's name) society is an equal society. It means in XXX (a country's name)you won't be a primer minister, if your father is somebody; you won't be a CEO, if your husband is somebody.

"j" is square root minus one, a complex number under another square root is even more complex. Then the problem become very very complex.
