| 20/8/02: Fellow researcher: The machine will KILL you!!!!! My fellow researcher said something like that today about HAL. HAL stands for Hydraulic Actuated Lift, which is basically a model forklift that can lift something and move forward/backward on a rail. First week of fall semester, and I am the lab TA for some lab course. We're trying to give the new students a demo of our equipments, one of them is HAL. When we powered up the lift, it literally banged itself against the end of the rail, which is not a good thing if you're wondering. The students got pretty freaked out, especially the one standing next to the machine. Glad my prof wasn't around, or he may reconsider putting me in charge of the lab session. |

| 21/8/02: Me: Save some for me!!!!! I used to say that when I'm playing online games. Sometimes my allies would kill the enemies so fast that there's hardly any left for me to kill when I finally come to the battlefield. That would really piss me off, and I would yell that over the chat. Of course they never listen to me. |

| 28/8/02: Me: So what prompt you guys to pick HAL (Hydraulic Actuator Lift) as your class project out of all the other projects? Student: I don't know. I mean all the projects look equally sucky. Yeah, this really shows how "motivated" my students are. Had a session with them today. During tutorial, half the class was falling asleep. It's obvious they're only too eagar to get out. Oh well ... In a sense it's good I guess. I'll have no guilt about giving out low grades! Muwahahahaha! |

| 15/10/02: 6th student: Female intruders! Female intruders!! All females must be persecuted!! Identify yourself!! I don't remember a lot from my elementary school days, but for some reason I remember this. For some reason the entire has to change into some new clothes or costumes, and the teachers designated one classroom as the guys' changing room. So we're all happy changing when some girl bursted into our room, and one of my friends said something along those lines. I don't know why, but I thought it's hilarious at that time. Actually I still think it's quite funny. |

| 16/10/02: Dell commercial: Dude, you're getting a Dell!!! I was checking out the CNN homepage today, and I found this article saying this annoying Dell moron may be gone for good. Well, ok I'm sure he's not an annoying Dell moron in real person, but he certainly looks like one in the ad!!! His ads pisses me off for some reason. The sad thing is I own a Dell. The sadder thing is all my past 3 computers were Dells, that is if you don't count that overheating AMD processor that fried the rest of my machine last month. Is that how good ads work?? They piss you off into buying their products?? |

| 3/6/03: Me: Weaker, slower, dumber. Is it just me or everyone's weaker, slower, dumber in dreams? In dreams, I never seem to be able to outrun whatever's chasing me. Last night I dreamed I was banging my head trying to figure out how to open a can with a can-opener (a no-brainer in reality, even for me). When I finally figured out how to use it, I was too weak to open the damn can! And I thought dreams are supposed to be sweet and encouraging, designed to boost your ego for the coming day! |
