Ever wonder how’s a toilet bowl that hasn’t been flushed for two days? I suppose I do not need to show you the picture :)

Hey, read the second notice again (carefully) and tell me whether I should be tulan or not

Open Book Exam May 6, 2008

Have you taken an open book exam before? In this type of examination, candidates are allowed to bring in course materials into the exam hall and use them to answer the questions.

Things that I brought into the exam

The most important thing is the text book. It is a must even though the condition is probably worst than salted-fish.

The next thing is lecture slides. They are important even though the contents are similar to the text book

Next is homework sets

In case you are unsure of your solutions, then the following are important

From this examination, I realized that it is actually quite cumbersome to do the exam with so many stuffs on the table. In fact, I did not have time to look at the homework sets and their solutions. The table is just not big enough and most of the time during the exam, pressure conquers everything.

This examw as held in the Main Hall (Loke Yew Hall). It can accommodate about 200 students but there are only 11 people taking this paper. What they did was put in students from other courses into the exam venue.

The paper is OK considering the result is either pass or fail only. It really took a lot of pressure off me. Besides the purpose of the course is to introduce new ideas to graduate students. The subject itself is quite controversial because it talks mainly about the inconsistency of current Mathematics. To put it simply, anything that has to do with infinity is INCORRECT! However the instructors’ ideas have not been accepted by the community but IF they do accept the fact that MATHEMATICS IS INCONSISTENT, then I reckon it could change the way we learn Maths.

Anyway the subject is very interesting. I learned a lot from this course. In fact I could sense that current Mathematics is FLAWED!!!!

One of my friends from the Law Faculty told me that he sat for ‘take-home exams’ before. The first time he was given THREE freaking days to do the exam AT HOME! He told me it was HELL LOL. It sounds pretty interesting. I’m looking forward to sit for this type of examination, if I have the opportunity..hehehe…HELL could be an interesting place you know…..

Pillar of Shame May 1, 2008

In the following picture, do you see a distinctive figure?

The Pillar from Far

Perhaps a closer look?

Nearer view

This is the Pillar of Shame. Don’t know what is it for? Look at the following pictures:

I suppose you understood the purpose of this pillar now.

Originally it was in bronze. However in line with the Olympics Torch run, the creators decided to repaint it to orange to show protest over China’s bad human rights records. I’m sure you are aware of the ‘chaos’ that happened in Tibet recently.

A closer look:

Btw, the pillar was sculptured by a Danish artist known as Jens Galschiot. Just a few days ago, he and his two sons were bared from entering HK. They were here to join the protest on China’s infringement of human rights in Tibet.

HK will be hosting the Olympics Torch Relay tomorrow. I’m predicting some heavy demonstrations by people wearing orange-colored T-Shirts. I shall get my camera ready for it :)

The Pantry + Encounter With Racist Fella April 18, 2008

For this post, let me bring you to the pantry/lounge. This is the place where residents do light cooking and watch TV. Well, not really watch TV because apparently I’m the only resident plus the janitors who are fully utilizing the TV. Anyway, let’s look at pictures

Pantry

As you can see, there are among others a TV, sofa, two refrigerators, two ovens, and three newly installed airconds (behind the sofas).

From a better angle

From a better angle

Let look at the cooking + washing area

Cooking + Washing area

The cooking area is on the right. This area is rather small. It can fit only two person at a time. Two person means does not include GIANT!

As adults, we should adhere to the rules

Rules

According to some of the senior residents, the hygiene of the hostel was pretty bad a few years ago. This is because there were some residents who have ‘traditional thinking and behavior’ treated the place like their own sweet home. Nowadays people are more modern :)

BUT THERE IS STILL ONE OF THEM REMAINS. I shall talk about him in a short while.

Let’s look at the things in the refrigerator

Stuffs in Fridge

and at the side door

Pretty common right. I mean the stuffs that you saw are stuffs that are normally stored in the refrigerator.

BUT

I suppose you may not expect the following to be in it

See, there are still traditional people living in the hostel!!!

The person who did this is a 33-year old medical student from Anhui, China. He is one hell of a racist bastard! I mentioned briefly about him in one of my earlier posts.

The pantry is shared by two floors, in my case, I live on the 10th floor. Therefore the pantry is shared by residents living on the 10th and 11th floor. People living on the 11th floor would find it ‘leceh’ to transport their stuffs up and down

That explains why the refrigerator contains ‘weird’ stuffs.

Another things about this racist/traditional fella is that he like to make those rude sound like those old people eject their phlegm. Can imagine? Yeap, exactly the same -__-!!!!
