A Better Title

No time to blog… I’ve been very busy lately…

But before you start reading this entry, please fill up my Johari and Nohari Windows, because this entry might be longer than you expected.

My Johari Window

My Nohari Window

Here’s a short description of the Johari Window:

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness. By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.

And Nohari Window:

The Nohari Window is a challenging inversion of the Johari Window, using antonyms of the original words. By describing your failings from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of perceived and unrecognised weaknesses can be explored.

Went with The Gal for dinner at Billy Bombers on Valentine’s Day. It was a four-course meal for couples, consisting of champagne, cream of asparagus, main course (I had grilled salmon fillet with avocado and diced papaya while The Gal had chicken fillet with ham and cheese. Both were served with potato wedges, baby carrots, and pasta), and chocolate cake with rum.

I have a new wallet from The Gal! Haha… So nice, finally I can replace the wallet which I’ve been using for the past five years.
Then last Wednesday I went to Institute of High Performance Computing with CM to negotiate with them an industrial visit from SIGGRAPH NTU. We managed to secure a time for the industrial visit, which would be done this coming Tuesday.

The place there is super cool… There’s this 3D visualisation facility called CAVE where we can immerse ourself in rich 3D virtual worlds modeled after the Fullerton Hotel, Esplanade Concert Hall, Changi Airport, and many others.

With the facility, we can virtually see the 3D world literally all around you, instead of just on a computer screen! If we’re lucky, we might even get a chance to play a DOOM-style first-person shooter game–in all its surround 3D glory!

IHPC is also currently developing a facility to allow an audience to view a 3D virtual world without any special goggles or devices, and we’ll get to see this technology first-hand!

And yes, those who are SIGGRAPH NTU members would have known that the bit above was taken directly from the email sent to all members informing them of the industrial tour. I’m that lazy.

On Thursday night, I collected two Graphire 4 tablets from CH, to be used by SIGGRAPH for Digital DESIGN ‘06 and kept for SIGGRAPH’s use later on. Whee! New toys!

Then on Friday, The Gal and I went to watch the sneak preview of Mrs. Henderson Presents. Thanks Nes for the tickets! Finally The Gal and I can take a rest after hectic weeks of school.

Hilarious and cheeky movie… M18 Rating… The Guy and I managed to watch the preview screening for free =) thanks to The Guy’s friend, who won the pair of tix but could not make it, thus she let The Guy take the tix and go instead… Thanks so much~!!!

Thus after a long draining day of school on friday, we went down to Plaza Singapura, skipping dinner and bought pop-corn and coke, with cheese hotdogs, and made a beeline to the threatre to get good seats, it so happens that the seating is free seating… which means, grab the seat which u like … haha…

The movie started promptly, lol… which was quite good, and generally the whole audience were mostly media and students like us…

Storyline is warm and nice, peppered with jokes and funny scenes, there is nudity involved, in the name of art, and the actors and actress carry the story very well. I shall not go into details, cos the movie will only be released on 23rd Feb.

I would strongly recommend you to watch this film. It brings a lot of laughter.

Haha… I give it 5 Stars out of 5.

To show my laziness, I even openly copied and pasted from The Gal’s blog.

Then I went home to The Gal’s home, where The Gal cooked dinner–instant noodles with egg. Simple but nice. Then it was also the first time I tried century egg.

Then on Saturday The Gal and I went to Fun-O-Rama. It’s good to visit your alma mater once again after so long. It was quite OK, standard funfair stuff. We bumped into a few of my old friends and teachers. Seemed like none of them changed over the years.
Then we went to Tanjong Pagar MRT, at first wanted to eat at Maxwell Food Centre. But alas, it was raining, so we changed plans and had dinner at Tampines Mall, where I had the most wonderful salted fish minced pork rice set, complete with vegetables and steamed egg. The Gal had beef noodles soup. On top of those, we had desserts–I had ice jelly while The Gal had cheng tng.

Then I went to The Gal’s house yet again (at this rate I might as well go to The Gal’s house everyday. :P) did some paperwork, had supper (thanks to The Gal’s Mum) gave The Gal a back massage (I’m worried of The Gal le… Take good care of yourself, ok?) and went home.

Then today (Sunday), I binged on games the entire day. I didn’t realise how long it was since I played games that much before.

Well, fill up other times not stated above with work, studies, more work, and more studies, and you get a picture of how my life is like.

Okie, this is a super long entry, so… Tata for now!

The Guy,
bcc
