HPC and More
Yesterday went to BBQ with dear buddies Yan Yuan and Poh Wei. Showed them my gf and showed my gf TCHS buildings. Then my gf went home. She's very good lor... pei me all the way to TCHS there for me to wait for my friends before going for BBQ.
Yan Yuan's father booked a mini-chalet and he provided free shuttle service there using his privately owned motor car.
Turns out Yan Yuan's dad noe my PDG Tutor, Mr Ang, personally. How interesting.
We BBQ-ed and ate both over and under-cooked food for one hour, before deciding we had enough of the delicious food. We went for a walk at the pasir ris park and tried to go missing. We almost succeed. While trying to find our way away from the chalet, all of us shared with each other our BGR experience.
Me, being the trend setter, already has a girlfriend. Yan Yuan has a very good female friend. He dare not procceed as he is unsure of his parent's reaction should be decide to suddenly announce that after 4 years of being a monk, he has finally found someone of the opposite gender. Strangely, their favourite pastime includes bumping into each other literally on their way home from school. The sad thing is that they are now in different jcs... Yan Yuan in RJC while the gal in NJC. Feel abit sad for them. I can't even take the agony of being in different class as my gf.
Below are some pictures we took:

HPC QUEST COMPETITION
Taking part in this year's HPC Quest Compeition.
Its more chim then u think. It involves using of a cluster of Linux computers(4 interconnected computers for parallel processing) Sounds exciting but i know nothing about how to do the programming, yet.
But the whole motion of taking part in an IT-related competition is new to me and the prizes are seriously attractive, although i doubt i can get them. Anyway.. to show off, here are 2 emails i received from someone called Irene who seems to be the only one in the HPC Quest Organisation Team who noes how to use emails.
Looks like i can pon Mass Civics or even more lessons on 29 april... Hehehe..
Ok, back to the harsh realities of taking part in this compeition. It is definitely a challenge, despite my background in programming as i've never done parallel processing before. Worst is the distribution of Linux they are using. Its a hell to use and i've never even use linux before. The way this compeition is carried out is something like the PW which everyone hates so much. So if you think that you are dying from PW, please think of your dear beloved faithful blogger Mr Tay Wei Kiat here. I need your sympathy. Serious. Haha.
Ok, i think that's about it. Please remember to tag on my tagboard. Its so inactive its dying from boredom.
