What is a Theremin

I was watching a video of this guy converting a Wii remote to a theremin. I still had no idea what is a theremin when i watched this video and i decided to find out more after watching another video. The mario song video.





Well, what is a theremin? according to wiki, its one of the earliest electronic musical instrument. Its played without having to touch the instrument. Created back in 1919? i think its amazing. people create so high tech stuffs back then.

I was trying to figure out how do they control the thing and i found another video teaching basic theremin. Exactly the same thing in the video, there will be 2 antenna controlled by the left and right hand. The left control the volume and the right control the pitch.

And somehow the antenna are designed to detect how far your hand is from the instrument. For the left hand, the volume side, the further away ur hand is from the antenna the louder is the volume. For the right hand, the nearer is your hand from the antenna, the higher the pitch.

I think the hardest thing to control is the distance of ur fingers to the antenna. I wonder how those people actually move their fingers to the exact note.

Some guy in youtube even have a how to make a theremin video. but i dont think anyone will know how to make it even after the video, it was fast forwarded and in the end the only think i get is he actually made a theremin. But its a cool instrument isnt it. Just by the fact the russian sent the creator of this thing to a round the world trip to showoff the russian power back in that time shows how cool the thing is.

I wonder if anyone i knows played this before.


Oh, btw, I just realized google have started putting ads on youtube. When some people were wondering some years back youtube is providing a free platform for people to upload videos and watch videos, how does youtube make money? And some people were stunt when google bought youtube for god knows how much, now we see how this kind of free platform can bring in $$.

Being a free platform for so long, people totally liked youtube and now after they have upgraded youtube to widescreen, if you havent noticed, they start to put ads. imagine the amount of $$ that you have to pay if you put ads on the most popular video, its gonna be watched by millions of people for the most popular video, worldwide. And whats better is that it is to the targeted audience, just like you put a camera ad to all videos that are doing camera review = higher possibility the audience is looking for a camera. I think this is even better than tv commercials, considering nobody watch tv anymore because people stream/dl movies or dramas. not to mention most of the those who still watch tv go away during commercials, make a coffee, read newspaper or something.

Afterall, the youtube ads are not very irritating as u can easily click it off and still be able to watch your video.

Too much drama?


Spent the whole day watching Gem of Life. As usual, not much mood to study, so i started watching episode 15 after i got to know its actually available. i was watching until 14 yesterday and didnt manage to watch, because i couldnt find the link online, luckily i met a friend online and he told me its the same person who uploaded it, so i went to search for it again.


Summary of thoughts :

Jessica (2nd daughter) is very evil. She was very good at setting up path leading herself to get together with the rich people in the show. But too bad, there were too many smart characters in the show, so her supposedly hidden perfect plan failed in the end.

The mom is pro in developing daughters to marry rich people. She is not from rich family but she can train her daughters so they can go "fish" rich men. She is like doing all sorts of evil things behind her daughters trying to help them.

Sunny. He is gay! Still not sure if this is true. It looks like he is just lying, but no one knows. Maybe he is. Maybe he really likes sylvia very much and just created the story that he is gay so he can "sacrifice" himself.

Good thing that the big shots are appearing. After 15 episodes or so, finally Bosco Wong and Linda Chung finally appeared.

The character Linda Chung playing is REALLY irritating. She always go around and scold people with her high pitch voice. Feel like slapping her when she go around and bully others just because she is rich. Typical bimbo.

Bosco Wong, not much about him yet. But looks like he is a smart guy in the show.



Latest update : I watched till Episode 27.

This means i have watched 13 epsiodes in a day(which im supposed to mug)

Each episode is 45 minutes. That means i spent 13 x 45 = 450 + 90 + 45 = 450 + 135 = 585 minutes on drama (sorry for the stupid way calculating, lazy to pull out the calculator.)

This means i just need to spend another 15 minutes on youtube i would have spent exactly 10 hours on drama in a day.


im done.

Cant watch that much tml onwardsno matter what (not uploaded yet) unless i start a new series (i hope not)


Next paper : Tuesday 2nd December 9.00 am - Heat Transfer

Is the World still safe?

I was checking out google news to see whats new in the world. Its something i try to do every few days recently, just to keep myself updated and appear to be more "smart"

While going through the headlines (thats the only thing i do), i was wondering, is the world still safe?




The world looks so messed up these days, with the whole financial crisis thingy going on, Lehman Brothers, Meryl Lynch and Citibank and all $$ people are saying hi to us everyday in the headlines. Then somehow, some Somalia pirates not very happy with that, then they do something to take over the headline, now Thailand and Mumbai wanna get a piece of the headline also.



















I was reading the thing about Mumbai, and wow, this guy is a scary man.


















Look at how the station in Mumbai look like after the incident. I have heard alot about how messy and dirty India is, but im sure that guy did a pretty good job in messing the place up. Just look at the pile of blood on the floor.


















I once was very lucky to have held a gun in phillipines. Not sure what type it is, but there was this guy at the place we visited offering few dollars for a shot with that gun. I didnt pay for the shots, but i asked to borrow the "thing" for a picture. And look at me. At least 200 people have told me that im holding a GUITAR!!










And the guy in India actually used something similar, killed over 100 and injured over 300. Thats like wow!



So, is the world still safe?


Im not so sure about the world, but i guess if we look at the other side of it, things are still pretty good. At least almost the whole world are happy that Obama got elected.

And talking about safe, im pretty sure Malaysia is 100% safe. Why? Look at other countries, those that are in danger are those that their airport are shut, bombing everywhere and people killing everyone else.

How can you say Malaysia is not safe when we still can afford to spend time to argue wether to ban yoga and to jail which blogger.

So please visit Malaysia, it will be very safe at least for the next few years. at least until the next election i think.



Malaysia Truly Asia.

Best ways to travel around the world

I have been dreaming of a round the world trip for very long and recently got to know some interesting stories of people travelling the world. So i just wanted to share here what are the best ways to travel around the world.




Best ways to travel around the world !


10. Fly
Look for any travel agency and u shall get this. Can be done as long as you have the money. Of course with more and more budget airlines coming up, u can easily get a cheaper way to fly around the world. In SEA alone, Airasia or tigerairways gives u lots of alternatives.







9. Cruise
Lots of companies offering cruise around the world trip, u get the best throughout the trip, sleep eat play all day. All sorts of facilities included. Dont worry, cruise these days are much better than Titanic.







8. Drive








Its getting more and more common to drive around the world. Even our own Malaysian Petronas has a team and of course, many others have done it before.




7. Solo Sail

The famous Malaysian Dato Azhar Mansur who managed to solo sail across the world made alot of Malaysians proud.







6. Motorcycle
I was reading this website about the world's most traveled motorcycle, A Harley-Davidson which travelled across more than 193 countries (psst, they travelled even travelled to where AIESEC doesnt exist YET)







5. Dance
This guy danced in over 71 countries and was I sponsored to make this video. check out Matt. I always think his 1st video is better tho.






4. Cycle

A Taiwanese guy actually cycled from Beijing to Paris, thats half a globe FYI. carrying his national flag, his project is called Bike To Protect our planet.
But another British guy actually attempted to break the record recently in early of the year for the title of fastest cycle around the world. clocking 195days and 6 hours.





3. Run
A guy actually run across the world. Believe it or not, he is not any young chaps like u or me. he is a 40 year old british guy.











2. Skateboard

Well, he broke the record for skateboarding for 12,159km. If you have no idea how far is that, Singapore is 41.8km east to west. That means the guy skateboard across singapore erm.....more than 290 times.








1. Walk
Dave Kunst being the 1st man verified to have completed a walk around the globe. *stun* *jaw drops*












Mayb i should start thinking of a way to make it to the top 10 list.

Globalization = Cheap Flights to London

Im sure everyone is so familiar with this term. Globalization, a word i 1st learnt in primary school (i think). we were taught to include the word into our essays. But yet, what is globalization?

according to wikipedia - Globalization in its literal sense is the process of transformation of local or regional phenomena into global ones. This process is a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural and political forces. Globalization is often used to refer to economic globalization, that is, integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign direct investment, capital flows, migration, and the spread of technology.


But i realized today globalization not about more business competition, not globalized market place, not faster transfer of information.

Globalization is flight to london from RM 499 !






















What does it mean ??

This means flights to London can be RM566 after tax.

This means Return flights to london cab be as low as RM 1467 compared to SGD 1969 from zuji









































THIS MEANS EVERYONE CAN TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD !!

HK Drama 秀才遇着兵 & 珠光宝气

I have no idea why I always start watching HK dramas around exam times. Its weird, i watch drama when im supposed to study. Anyway, just wanna share what i have been watching.

Recently finished

秀才遇着兵
Old show, 2005, 20 episodes.

明朝,贪官当道。神捕陆战(元华饰)与劫富济贫的女飞贼飞鹰(米雪饰)情投意合。诞下一女——陆拾羲(周丽琪饰),她长大后成为女捕快,但在男人主导的衙门中常被看轻,时值新上任的县令水祟清(陈豪饰)整治贪官,一起联手屡破奇案,但此时一宗凶案发生,茅头直指飞鹰,陆拾羲等人为替她洗雪沉冤,即深入虎穴……


















Overall story just ok. Nothing near the one i like. 唐心风暴 and 家好月圆 both much better.



Just started another series. 珠光宝气

剧情简介:

  人世间真善美恒久长存,奈何利欲熏心让人把她遗忘,致使她如同钻石般矜贵难得。以珠宝世界、上流社会为舞台,以钻石比喻人生,琢磨出康氏三姊妹的非一般的人生……

  钻石之家三姐妹渴望跻身上流

  三位个性不同的亲生姊妹——康雅言(邵美琪饰)、康雅瞳(黎姿饰)、康雅思(蔡少芬饰),在爱情婚姻路途上汲取了经验及教训后,目标一致地视“嫁个有钱人”为人生最大方向。她们仰视富豪的世界,对心仪的钻石王老五,除了希望他们流着“贵族”的血,亦同时希望他们拥有制造财富的智能。而故事中的几位男主角,除了兼备以上条件之外,还懂得享受生活,会扬帆出海、逐浪赛艇、品尝高级红酒、极品雪茄及珍馐百味,会在拍卖行竞投钻石珍品赠送佳人。名车名牌,统统围绕着他们的生活,直教这三姊妹倾情爱慕。

  三姊妹的父亲康青杨(姜大卫饰),掌管在珠海的其丽钻石打磨公司,同时兼顾到南非及欧美等地采购钻石的工作。因对鉴别钻石的能力具有独到眼光,青杨备受业界推崇,而在耳濡目染之下,三姊妹自小看惯漂亮迷人的钻石,培养出别家女儿没有的、对优质东西的鉴赏能力,以及一份高雅的气质。

  她们的母亲白筱柔(李司棋饰)更视女儿为三颗完美无暇的美钻,对三人期望甚高,尤其希望她们“嫁得好”,得到幸福的人生。可是,筱柔对“幸福婚姻”的定义,只着眼于金钱财富之上,认为女儿择偶对象应非富则贵、有权有势,故一直积极将三个女儿捧进富豪世界、上流社会。然而,青杨作为三个女儿的父亲,却持着与妻子相反的见解,希望女儿们以忠诚的心去寻找她们的爱情与婚姻,可惜却事与愿违。


Alot of big shots. looks like the story gonna develop into something interesting.so far have watched 5 episodes. HK still showing 25th episode.


Exams already here.

Men's bra

The title looks interesting? Thanks to a friend who shared about this.

*Warning! Images and contents below might cause various sickness (I almost puked) and I shall not be responsible for anything that happened to u after reading the post.










He got this from some random Jap website. Its the latest product of an online mall in Japan and its said to be in the top ranking for male underwear.






























IF YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW JAP, LIKE REAL GOOD AT IT. please translate.


They even have a few selling points, which im not really interesting in posting the pics up.

Point 1:Choice of materials.
We’ve selected the same material used in men’s shorts. Soft and stretchable, a good fit is assured.

Point 2: Freedom of fit.
We’ve employed the “spectacles” design of bra front. The bra can freely move with your chest. Also, you can freely adjust the position of the bra.

Point 3: Relaxation.
Unlike ladies’ brassieres, the straps are soft and gentle. Rather than a “bust up” effect, we stress relaxation.

Point 4: Adjustable volume.
There’s an internal pocket for padding! If you need more volume, just slip in a pad!


just go visit the online store urself if you are interested in it.

It doesnt look like its for fat people with big chest. i was wondering if its created to uphold the muscles.

Ok, i know. i shall stop here.


And HEY! dont show the Ew face to me..show it to the "creative" japs who created these things.

O, did i forgot to mention its about 3000YEN (approx 47.194532 SGD)
per piece?

Google Voice Search

Not like im a big google fan, but this news really attracted me. They just launched a new application which allows u to call a number and say what u wanna search for, and it will return u the searched results.

Sounds cool? prob even better when its with iPhone.

Sad that its ONLY with iPhone. Apparently its supposed to be out last friday but only came alive on Monday.






Cool stuffs, but as usual, tech stuffs always got negative reviews. some people were saying it doesnt work that well. But i guess if it works as well as the one shown in the video its good enough.

I wonder if it recognizes accent, especially weird accents. U know..we hear all sorts of accents in Singapore...prob be really difficult to come to singapore market. else they have to design the application to recognize singlish, chinglish, inglish, and anything under the sun that ends with -glish.

Cleaner killed by zoo tigers

I just changed my profile picture to the current one few weeks back. It was taken from the zoo trip in July and i got this piece of news from Alex today.
















A CLEANER at the Singapore Zoo who jumped into the white tiger enclosure yesterday was killed by the animals as a horrified crowd looked on helplessly.

Malaysian Nordin Montong, 32, was set upon by two of the three big cats in the enclosure at around noon.

According to eyewitnesses, Mr Nordin, who was seen shouting and flinging items about shortly before the incident, vaulted a low wall and landed in a moat in the enclosure, four metres below.

Carrying a yellow pail and a broom, he then crossed the 1.75m-deep moat, walked up to a rocky ledge near where the animals were and began agitating them by swinging the broom.
Read More...


Not sure if its the same tiger. But yea, i wasn't holding a broom and i was out of the enclosure.











I guess the lesson of the day is NEVER carry a broom to the zoo..

Lecture

I was sitting in class and listening to the lecturer today.

He was reading the lecture notes as it is.

For some point of time i thought he was a formula reading machine.

I guess thats what a big chunk of my school fees is for. To employ these lecturer to produce notes/lecture slides so that he can read it in the lecture. Perhaps they are still here because a machine that can read formula and numbers with a weird accent is too expensive or not available yet.

五月天 - 生存以上 生活以下

Is the life you living the life you want.


後青春期的詩
五月天
生存以上 生活以下
作曲:阿信 填詞:阿信

连刷牙也照着节奏
冲了马桶
洗了脸上的疲惫泡沫
没有梦昨夜没有梦
镜子里的陌生人
已经不再做梦
上课钟变成打卡钟
单行道般的人生
流失在车阵中
进行曲规律的平庸
活的像是一句标语
压韵而服从
午餐是随便还是都好
还是跟你一样的任何一种
奇怪呢很久以前我是
很有想法主见心跳很执着
伤心再也不吹风
现在只害怕伤风
耽误了谁和谁的要求
一天一天
看日昇日落
看月圆月缺
年复一年的经过
看谁把我变成现在的我
怕潮起潮落
怕患得患失
错了又错的疼痛
终於我的生命只剩生存
活着只会呼吸
吃饭喝水的生活
小时候只要看天空
枕着白云就觉得
全世界都拥有
长大了拥有的更多
为何感觉到越来越
匮乏越贫穷
那一年只追逐自由
现在只能追逐着
涨不停的石油
是不是地壳又震动
要从家里震落
才悔恨这样生活
生活的反面会是死去
还是这般生存不再有冲动
闭上眼就能感觉生命
正在一分一秒飞奔远离我
还不如一只昆虫
至少能破茧展翅
飞翔那被夺走的天空
一天一天
看日昇日落
看月圆月缺
年复一年的经过
看谁把我变成现在的我
怕潮起潮落
怕患得患失
错了又错的疼痛
终於我的生命只剩生存
活着只会呼吸
吃饭喝水的生活
一年有三百六十五个日子
五十二万五千多分钟
一生有三十四亿五千六百
七十八万九千下脉搏
为爱而生之後
生命要怎麽挥霍
直到我化成烟的时候
一天一天
看日昇日落
看月圆月缺
年复一年的经过
看谁把我变成现在的我
怕潮起潮落
怕患得患失
错了又错的疼痛
终於我的生命只剩生存
活着只会呼吸
吃饭喝水
一天一天
看日昇日落
看月圆月缺
年复一年的经过
曾经我也那麽独一无二
怕潮起潮落
怕患得患失
错了又错的疼痛
终於我的生命只剩生存
活着只会呼吸
吃饭喝水的生活
连刷牙也照着节奏
然後设定了
明天六点半的闹钟

LC Gathering 31st Oct

We had our LC Gathering today, it was pretty cool. we had some good time in the LC gathering.

Mel shared with us how was her Heroes experience, how she had so much fun in the conference and after the conference, met so many people and experiencing AIESEC conference in Heroes. She also showed us some pictures and videos which brought us to the conference that we didnt manage to attend.

After which Adrian did some “education” about finance matters, teaching us about tracking, claiming and so on so on…omg, he even showed us how PV should be filled and the whole financial claiming process. Im sure members will have totally no problem filling up PVs and making claims from AIESEC.

Mel also promoted about the BBQ of LC NUS on 15th November (Saturday) in pgp, please do come over and join us for the BBQ fun!! whee :D Of course i did some last minute promotion about NLDS as well. Its gonna be so exciting with over 80 internationals from 12 countries be in NLDS Singapore.

After that we had a mini connection time discussing about @ and school, @ and friends as well as @ and travelling. The nice part was when YuanTian brought his mentor, Shahrin, ex-MCP from NUS to come down to the gathering. Shahrin talked to the members and shared about his stories and im sure most of the people there were inspired by what he had to share.



So much so about LC Gathering, there was an informal outing for some of us. Some people didnt manage to join us due to 1000 other reasons such as projects, exams, submissions and yada yada yada… But they missed good fun ! coz we went to check out Shisha in Arab Street.




yeaps, some of the faces at Arab Street. and Looking forward to LC BBQ on 15th November.

Interesting AIESECers.
