DVORAK Day 3 [How to improve!]

2012-01-01T00:33:00.004+08:00

Didn't touch the typing tutorial today.Awesome as it is, I think I've grown tired of that.

I find it better to use the tutorial solely for remembering the keystrokes (by touch typing and using the home row), and after you know where each key is, you start typing REAL text that interests you (like a story). Doing so will ensure that you remember common letter groupings like 'ou' and 'th' in a fun way, unlike the tutorial reviews, which, through it's repetitiveness,forces your brain to know where each key is.

I'm still typing at about 12 wpm, but I feel like I've got the feeling of typing a QWERTY Keyboard. Sure, replacing the QWERTY muscle memory was, truthfully, hard as hell, but getting this new memory is like telepathically knowing your next move. Great feeling. This feeling is enhanced when you didn't know how to touch type before. :P

To be honest though, if you're still typing stuff wrongly, (like me. I'm still mistaking 'o' for 'e', and typing 'f' with my left hand.) you should go back to the tutorial.

Learnt QJ WV. Very soon, I will be able to touch type with every letter!

The learning process was hard since I had to move my ring fingers. But I'm already feeling the effects of minimised finger movement! Or is that a placebo effect because I'm typing so slowly?

I noticed that every time I look at the keyboard, I typed slower.

I'm more fluent with dvorak now. I'm now typing this out using touch typing, so I can familiarise with the keyboard. I still type horribly slow though.

Learnt .icd and kxbm, quite easy really.

The review for kxbm was really hard, as I had to use aoeuhtns, pyfg, .icd and kxbm to make proper sentences.

DVORAK Day 1

Made the decision to switch from QWERTY to Dvorak today.

My brother and I repositioned all the keys on the keyboard, then pasted stickers on those that did not fit. [F, U, H, J]. They didn't fit because they had weird protrusions which made them able to fit each other only. Not sure why. Not sure why we repositioned the keys, too.

This program teaches you Dvorak pretty well. It teaches you how to touch type using your home keys.

Learnt aoeuhtns, 27 wpm. Was having trouble with H, T and N.

pyfg, 12 wpm (both after 3 tries on the practice and review).

Heard from this site that switching back and forth from QWERTY to Dvorak will result in confusion in your muscle memory.

"In this qwertified world [all computers have dvorak now], is it worth it to make the switch? Remember that you'll be developing a new set of "muscle memories", so it's very hard to unlearn qwerty and get used to dvorak. Also, do you ever use a keyboard other than your own? If you want to be able to use your friend's, coworker's, or library's computer, you'll have to still be able to type qwerty to do that, and it takes a lot of practice before you'll be able to switch at will. I used dvorak (and the occasional qwerty board) for over a year, and every time I had to change keyboards I typed with unbearable slowness, with generous use of the backspace key."

I still think that if you have the time, you should learn Dvorak.

How did I type this out then, if I'm not so proficient at Dvorak and want to use QWERTY? Copy and paste and hunt and type for letters.

Random?

Hooray for randomness! (oh, sorry for the lag)

Are you bored of seeing western food posts?

2008-11-30T10:07:00.005+08:00

Are you? Because here is another one:

Yesterday, my family and I went to Dezzert Lingo to eat our dinner. Dezzert Lingo is located at 384 East Coast Road, near Telok Kurau.

The newspapers said that their Fish & Chips there were very nice, so we decided to go there to eat. Outside of the shop was their food menu. We got a shock when we saw the prices of the food. Wow! A whole $10.00 for the Fish & Chips! Thats 65% more expensive than the one we had at Tim's!

Although the price was expensive, it had air-conditioning and there was a chalk board outside the shop, saying something like this:

soup of the day

+

Fish & Chips/(2 other main courses, I forgot.)

+

Tea/Coffee/Coke

ONLY $13.50!

Wow, I thought. The soup and breverages are so expensive! Nevertheless, we decided to give it a try.

We went in the store to see pastries, the cold ones in a cooler, the warm ones on top. To the right was a New Zealand ice-cream "store", one scoop $3.90, two scoops $4.90. The ice cream was also served in pints and quarts.

First, they brought 4 mugs with hot water after taking our orders (Water is complimentary, you can ask for more! :D).

After a while, they served us the soup of the day, mushroom soup. I looked at the soup and saw that the soup was actually half of the bowl!

I tasted some, and realised it was very thick, and that it tastes like cheese. I'd rather have a thinner soup with real mushroom taste.

Then, I thought: Now, where is the pepper and salt? I glanced around the table and realised quickly that they DIDN'T have any pepper nor salt.

Well, time for the main course to come. My main course was Fish & Chips. The tomato were cut into 2 wedges and the cucumber were nicely sliced into 3 halves so that you didn't have to stuff the vegetables in.

The cucumber were nicely stacked so they resembled part of a spiraling staircase. There was also shredded cabbage so you don't have to stuff the whole leaf in.

The chips were a little crispy no the outside and soft in the inside. There was little salt added to it.

Now for the fish. the fish was curled like a small, stationary wave at one end and flat at the other. A thin wedge of lemon was put beside it. I squeezed it over the fish and took a bite of the fish. The fish was very hot, the batter very crisp and the meat very springy. I took another bite with tar tar sauce and it was perfect. I had never eaten such nice fish before.

After everyone in my family finished their meal, they served us our breverages. I had ordered tea. The tea was placed in a mug with the same design as for the water. The level of the burning hot water was high, and the small teaspoon was nearly drowned.

The water was almost 1.5 cm from the top of the teaspoon. When I touched the top of it to stir my tea, it burnt my hand! I quickly took up the spoon and put it in my empty cup to let it cool. Maybe they should've used a longer handle or maybe they should've placed the spoon in some kind of servette, which they did earlier on with the serving of the mugs.

PSLE Marks

2008-11-23T12:08:00.006+08:00

My heart was racing as I queued up to get my results slip from my form teacher. Numerous parents were standing outside, craning

Normally, I would get only 232++ in school for the aggregate score, but I was amazed when I got an aggregate of 248 for PSLE(Primary School Leaving Examination) !

I did very badly for my PSLE. My 2 compositions were in a mess. I thought I could only get at most 235, but I saw that my result slip shows 248! Why?

Some students in my school have higher marks than other schools, above average. That is why I could get so high. You see, if you are above average, your score will shoot up. If you are below average, your score will shoot down. If you are average, nothing happens to your score. It's like a "transfer" from below average to those above average.

A little bit like the reverse of "Robin Hood".

What? Western food again?

2008-10-15T19:35:00.004+08:00

Yesterday, I went to Paramount Hotel to learn about social and dining etiquette. We were first given a talk about social etiquette then dining etiquette. After all that, we were given our food to practise on our dining etiquette.

First came the bread with some unsalted butter, we learnt that we should pluck some bite-sized bits of the bread and put it with butter.

Then came the soup. We learnt that the spoon should sink in like a dolphin diving in water (withOUT the splash!). After waiting for a while, the main course came.

It was chicken breast with mushroom sauce, broccoli, cauliflower and raw carrots. Then came dessert. It was "chocolate cake", but there were bits of plums inside so I preffered to call it a better "blackforest cake".

Then came orange juice. By then I was so full that I could hardly drink it! I learnt a lot about eating at formal places. The money for this workshop was indeed well-spent.

Tim's Restaurant and Cafe

2008-10-12T21:08:00.004+08:00

Today, my family and I went to Tim's Restaurant and Cafe. There were a lot to choose at the menu, e.g.: Fish and Chips ($6.00), Grilled Fish ($6.00) and Grilled Chicken ($5.50). There was also steak and lobster with fish or chicken or beef (around $16.00 each). We each added $2.80 to make our main course a set meal, which includes soup of the day at first with crispy garlic bread.

The soup was chicken noodle soup and it was thick. A while later, water was served. The water had a lemony taste but I found out that there was a slice of lemon in a jug holding water when the waitress attended to us for the refilling of water.

We waited a reasonably long amount of time for the main course. Mine was Grilled Fish with Mango Salsa. The Mango Salsa sauce was a little spicy with a dash of sweetness, a little like sweet and sour sauce but with a little chilli. It went well with the two pieces of fish that were below it. The fish was a little salty, but it went well with the bland potatoes, carrots, long beans and some kind of gourd that tasted like winter gourd.

The next two dishes that came up was tea and cake. The cake was quite hard to cut with a fork, but when you put it in your mouths, you will feel that the cake is not that hard. There were strawberry sauce, what seemed like custard and something I presumed to be cocoa (the bitter ones as I thought that the strawberry sauce and the custard were aldready sweet).

The teh tarik*, as they call it, was frothy, light and sweet (I think it's a little too sweet!). It looked like Milo but had the hint of the aroma of tea and bubbles on the surface of it. The teh-tarik was machine made.

Oral Examinations

2008-07-13T11:15:00.005+08:00

Yesterday, I had my english and chinese preliminary oral examination. When I was in my school canteen, I waited only 5 minutes as I was nearly late. We, the morning group, then went to the school hall.

There were chairs aligned neatly with labels on them telling us our group and the room number. We went to our chairs with our assigned groups. We were then told to sit in our register number. Although there were 7 classes and six numbers in my group till me, I had to wait for an hour. As I waited for the hour, I revised my oral examination notes and read a science fiction book that I brought.

I made a mistake for each of the examinations, Chinese and English. For the English examination, when I said that my neighbourhood was peaceful, I said something that was different from it.

For the Chinese examination, I didn't say anything about the driver looking very surprised.

After the examinations, I walked to the Lecture Theatre only to find that there was a movie going on about Raffles. (They did not tell us about that.)

Killer litter

2008-07-07T09:52:00.008+08:00

Warning: This article contains chinese characters.

While I was reading my much loved Reader's Digest, I heard shouts coming from the opposite flat. I immediately rushed to the balcony to see what had happened. A couple were standing beside the window.

At first I thought the shouts were from the man, but when I saw another man throw down an incense burner, I knew the shouts were from him. He started to throw other things down, like a bicycle, a potted plant, a red cloth, something that looked like a dustbin and its cover. He shouted at the residents who were looking outside from their windows.

It was not long before the police came, and the man kowtowed to them. The man was arrested.
There was a post on 新动网 about the litter, by 小彬彬.

"今天早上真是有够drama的！

早上八点多还在睡梦中，就被巨响吵醒。以为没什么还想再睡，就听到楼下很多人七嘴八舌，还有很多人跑来跑去的声音。于是走到窗口往下望。不得了，早地上一堆杂物，有鞋子，盆栽，还有脚踏车，和烧冥纸的桶！

听说是一名男子突然攻击一对男女，据说男子还想抢女的项链。后来男子追到楼梯口，见到东西就往下抛！所以咯，把人家的脚踏车、鞋架、盆栽什么的都往下丢！就连烧冥纸用的桶也不放过，全部一律往下丢。

还好警察及时来到，把男子押上警车。不过男子好像想逃走，在警车里大喊大叫！

不懂后来男子怎样了！幸好他丢东西的时候，没有人再楼下，要不然就惨了！"

(By the way, the man was throwing the things down from a staircase, almost similar to the case my dad saw.)

A Trip to Taiwan: 2nd Day in Taiwan

2008-05-01T09:10:00.001+08:00

Passed by a cemetery.

If you Singaporeans haven't gone overseas yet, you probably haven't seen a PADDY FIELD in your life. How miserable. Here's your chance to see one:

We stopped at a souvenir shop. Unfortunatley for the owner, nobody bought anything.

There were wine bottles,

crystals,

teapots,

fish (the kind you hang during Chinese New Year, not the one you eat),

and Mahjong dice.

We then headed off to a place where we had our tea. (How high-fashioned!)

Nice scenery we passed by.

Here we are. What's this?

We arrived at somewhere with lush greenery.

The stairs leading to the store was quite steep.

FreeRice!

2008-04-19T11:20:00.010+08:00

I interrupt this part of "A Trip to Taiwan: 2nd Day in Taiwan" to get you addicted to donating to charity without paying anything (except for your electrical bills) and helping you to build up your vocabulary at the same time, for example, I learnt that a dermatologist is actually a skin doctor. Sponsors are donating money to help end hunger.

FreeRice.com is a website that helps people who can't afford rice to eat. It uses a vocabulary game, very simple. They will just give you a word, and you'll have to click on the word that has the closest meaning to the word that they provide.

For every 3 consecutive correct answers you choose, your vocabulary level will increase by one. As it increases, the words will get harder and harder. For every answer you get correct, you will donate 20 grains of rice to charity.

But for every question you get wrong, your vocabulary level will decrease by one.

Every time you reach hundreds, your rice bowl will be empty. The amount of rice would be recorded on the sides of the bowl. Right for hundreds, and left for thousands. Every time after you get correct, it will show you how many grains of rice you have donated.

When you reach 10,000... SOMETHING will happen. Find out yourself! Go and donate! Hurry up and stop reading this part of text! Because the text is getting smaller and smaller until you can't read it.. ... ..... .. .... . .. . ..

Actually, 1 kilogramme of rice has about 40,000 grains, and every 1 kilogramme of rice went up by only $0.30, so if you donate 10,000 grains of rice you will be helping other people save $0.70!

If you want to see the total number of grains of rice donated every month, every day, or the total number of grains that have been donated, just click on "TOTALS". However, the "day" count ends every month, so if you want to see the amount donated every day, rush to the website now, before the month ends!

The most number of grains of rice per month was donated on December 2007, when 6,948,988,060 grains of rice was donated, probably because the holidays were there, and most people can use their computers!

A Trip to Taiwan: 2nd Day in Taiwan

2008-02-24T13:22:00.016+08:00

After eating our tummies out, we left for the seaside to take a walk or something. It was raining there. Our tour guide said that you cannot trust the weather at the beaches nor mountains. One moment it will be shining, and the other moment it will be raining!

On the way, our guide told us to not pick up any valuable rocks there. ( I can't quite remember, but I think that it was because last time a lot of people came here to pick rocks and there were less and less... )

At the seaside, there were a few stray dogs. I noticed one of them had got their foot injured! The dog was limping as it moved.

There were also a couple of stalls, one selling sausages and the other selling squid, smelly tofu, small intestines in big intestines, and intestine vermicelli.

When our tour guide mentioned "you yu", I thought that he was referring to oily fish!

We hopped on the bus, and continued on our journey.

A Trip to Taiwan: 2nd Day in Taiwan

2008-02-04T14:58:00.009+08:00

We waked up at 6 a.m. to brush our teeth, pack our things and went to the place for breakfast. We were stunned by the astonishing view of the hotel although it was a three star one.

If you leave soya bean milk for too long, it will have a silky skin on the top.

The cup dispensers are too hard to see. Even when my father pointed where it was, I still couldn't see it.A cook was standing someplace cooking fried eggs. But their eggs are special, they are white, but their insides are the same as the beidge eggs!

We took the bus to the train station.Nearly everywhere, there is a "7-11" store. It is different from the ones in Singapore though. It is bigger and has a giant container where they put the eggs in tea leaves with water and they will become tea eggs. They are quite nice. At only about NT $7 ( about $0.31 Singapore Dollars ) , it is a cut-off price of 1 being $0.66 at my school's lantern festival.

This is the ticket for the train from Taipei to HuaLien:

On the way, I took some photos. Here are some of the best:

We took a short bus ride to a restaurant, and left for the seaside.

A Trip to Taiwan: 1st Day in Taiwan

2008-01-13T09:35:00.002+08:00

After 30 minutes of waiting, we were finally in Taiwan.

We saw the text in marquee:

I noticed that we were asked to stand on the right while using the elevator.

We went onto the bus and saw our tour guide.

He joked:"If you call me tour guide, no one will know who you are calling, so you can either call me 'xiao yu' or 'shuai ge'." On the way to Shi Lin, the guide explained that Taiwan's bitter gourd is drier than green bitter gourds and can be made into drinks like: pineapple carrot bitter gourd.

Soon, we arrived at Shi Lin.

We passed by a fried oyster egg store. They cooked the egg on the round stove. There were vegetables under the egg. It was extremely oily and there was a layer of oil under it. Eeeeyurgh!

After walking around for a while, we decided to try the white bitter gourd drink the guide told us. We went to "A-Zhong's Drink Stall".

They had a wide varirity of fruits displayed in a very beautiful manner:

The carrot, pineapple and bitter gourd drink was very sweet and sour and has an after taste of bitter. It has some kind of DRY bittertaste.

We had 15 minutes left so we decided to walk around again. Then, we saw a stall selling prawns with claws ( very much like tiny lobsters without a claw ) !

You had to fish the prawns with small fishing rod-like things and put them in buckets - of course, its not free!

There were also games in the night market like: basketball! Pay NT$10 and you'll get to play! Here's a video of someone playing basketball:

He is professional at basketball! In just 30 seconds, he scored 128 points ( 2 points for each ball ).

We then checked in to our hotel, called Yaward Hotel.

It is actually more of a 3-star hotel because it only has 3 stories and one lift!

Here is a map of the hotel.

By the time we were getting ready to sleep, it was already 1 a.m. in the morning!

A Trip to Taiwan: The Flight To Taiwan

2007-12-02T11:11:00.002+08:00

On 24 Nov, we were getting ready to depart from Singapore at about 3 p.m. in Changi Airport.

We decided to have our lunch at 'Eatz @ the terrace'.

We ate at 'Straits Kuisine', (The one in the most right) a vegetable rice stall as we thought that was the only stall that the price was reasonable.

After that, we went to the departure hall to send the luggage to Taiwan and to meet our travel agent. She told us our flight information and said that we should go have our lunch first. As we had nothing to do the next one and a half hours, we decided to go to Terminal 2 to quench our thirst.

We took the skytrain to terminal 2,
And we went back.

Before we went through custom checking, I noticed this long stretch of same words with the same meaning but in different languages:

We went to gate D40 to have the rest of our bags checked before we leave.

Through the window of the 'waiting room', I saw B747-400 (China Airlines) :

I noticed that the Chinese use traditional chinese. People say that Singaporeans know reading traditional chinese more than writing traditional chinese.

We were sitting in economy class. Here are some of the best aerial views from the airplane:

Soon, dinner was served.

There was a panel mounted on the left side of the seat.

Llama Song!

2007-11-24T09:59:00.000+08:00

The Llama Song is a repeating flash song that has random words in between llama, is rhyming and ends with "llama llama duck." Here are the lyrics:

here's a llama
there's a llama
and another little llama
fuzzy llama
funny llama
llama llama
duck

llama llama
cheesecake
llama
tablet
brick
potato
llama
llama llama
mushroom
llama
llama llama
duck

i was once a treehouse
i lived in a cake
but i never saw the way
the orange slayed the rake
i was only three years dead
but it told a tale
and now listen, little child
to the safety rail

did you ever see a llama
kiss a llama
on the llama
llama's llama
tastes of llama
llama llama
duck

half a llama
twice the llama
not a llama
farmer
llama
llama in a car
alarm a llama
llama
duck

is that how it's told now?
is it all so old?
is it made of lemon juice?
doorknob
ankle
cold
now my song is getting thin
i've run out of luck
time for me to retire now
and become a duck

Mind Reading Machine!

2007-11-21T14:54:00.004+08:00

Want a magic machine that can read your mind? Simply go here, and follow the instructions on it.

Amazed? There is a secret to it. You'll have to find it! (Its in the game.)

It has something to do with the numbers.

Oh, so you do want the answer. The answer is here:

Let's say A is 5 and B is 3. The total is Ax10+B, and the sum of A+B is 8. So:
10A+B)-(A+B)=9A

And did you notice that 9A is a multiple of nine? If you look carefully in the game, all the multiples of nine have the same symbols, except 99 and 90 which are both impossible to reach. The symbols also changes everytime so that you will think that it is really mind-reading!

You can solve the cube by turning a part of it:
F stands for Front, which is this:

And you turn it clockwise while F' means turn the front face anti-clockwise. Wherever you rotate your cube, the face facing you would always be front, and the same applies for the others:
R stands for Right, U stands for Up, D stands for Down, L stands for Left and B stands for Back. They all mean clockwise, and when you have an ', you must turn it anti-clockwise, as shown here:

If there is a '2' after any letter, you turn it 180 degrees:

Lucid Dreaming

2007-11-20T12:50:00.000+08:00

Have you heard of lucid dreaming?

Lucid dreaming is when you are fully aware that you are dreaming when you are dreaming. (On the other hand, lucy dreaming is when Lucy is dreaming. It is not recommended that you disturb Lucy while she is dreaming.) Once you are aware, you could do anything you want, just think of what you want to do when you are dreaming.

A lucid dream can begin in one of two ways. A dream-initiated lucid dream (DILD) starts as a normal dream, and the dreamer eventually concludes that he or she is dreaming, or a wake-initiated lucid dream (WILD) occurs when the dreamer goes from a normal waking state directly into a dream state with no apparent lapse in consciousness.

Once, I was dreaming about fleeing from something when I suddenly stopped to buy something (I don't know why) and then I gave the stallholder money and she gave me change that was more than she would give in real life. So then, I noticed that I was dreaming but at that time, I haven't heard of lucid dreaming yet, so I didn't get to control what I was dreaming.

adopt your own virtual pet!

Chon Wey introduced me to the bunnyherolabs pet. There were so many pets that i got confused. You can view Chon Wey's pet and blog by clicking on the link above.

(Oh by the way, you can make the pet fly by clicking on the "puppy treats" box and clicking on the sides of the white box. You have to do it before it returns on the screen. You can also mouse over the "more" box and take out the ball, drag it and release it. The dog MAY catch it. PLEASE on sound.)____________________________________________________________________

NOTICE: the ball keeps on bouncing for ever if the dog does not catch it so do not waste your time.

Anti-Drug Campaign

2007-11-18T10:12:00.000+08:00

Last week, we had a lecture on drugs by the Central Narcotics Bureau.

An anti-drug bus (called DRUG BUSTERS!)came to our school canteen (its behind facing the vending machine beside the school hall entrance) on that day.

(Click the picture for a larger image.)

At recess, my friend and I, Jason, rushed to the bus as soon as possible. Thank god we got there early, or there would be a long queue waiting to go up the bus! We only were up there for about half a minute or so, so we didn't get to see or hear clearly what was inside. But, I took a brochure and a magazine that was way back from Febuary!

For those who didn't get a chance to take the magazine or brochure or even get inside the bus, I will tell you the editor's note of the magazine becuase if i write out the whole thing, this post would be way too long!

The editor's note says:

Hey there ...

Are you all excited as the new school year begins? We
certainly are as we have lined-up a whole lot of activities
just for you in the year ahead.

First up is DanceWorks! 2007. Yes! Our annual dance

I learned touch typing when I first went to learn i-train but I think when I look at the keyboard and type is faster when you have to look at the screen without looking at the keyboard and type the words. You can just check whether you typed correctly as you look at what you punch and the order on the keyboard.

After that, we learned about Microsoft Word. Our teacher told us about how we should insert our pictures. I found a MapleStory Orange Mushroom that would move on the computer when you open the file. To open the link,

Then I learned powerpoint and how to insert videos. It was really fun learning about all these stuff.
