Those who play...
Play against the entire world.
There are no saves.
There are no walkthroughs.
There is only one chance.

I came here.

I don't know what to write.

How.... Stupid. Like if you don't know what to write why are you writing all these shit here?

It's none of your business.

Anyway.

Got hit by a "depression spell" a while ago. Hard Gay cheers people up. Carbon fibre bands too.

The feeling just feels weaker and weaker. Is it me? That I can't put effort into anything I do?

It puzzles me sometimes... Maybe inside I'm just the perfect perfectionist to the point it hits me that nothing can be perfect so I don't put any effort into anything.

Maybe.

Yeah, maybe.

Carbon Fiber, hoooooo!!

Carbon Fibre, hoooooooo!!

Carbon fibre can refer to carbon filament thread, or to felt or woven cloth made from those carbon filaments.

Each carbon filament is made out of long, thin sheets of carbon similar to graphite. A common method of making carbon filaments is the oxidation and thermal pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a polymer used in the creation of many synthetic materials. Like all polymers, polyacrylonitrile molecules are long chains, which are aligned in the process of drawing fibres. When heated in the correct fashion, these chains bond side-to-side, forming narrow graphene sheets which eventually merge to form a single, jelly roll-shaped filament. The result is usually 93-95% carbon. Lower-quality fibre can be manufactured using pitch or rayon as the precursor instead of PAN. The carbon can become further enhanced, as high modulus, or high strength carbon, by heat treatment processes. Carbon heated in the range of 1500-2000 °C (carburizing) exhibits the highest tensile strength (820,000 psi or 5,650 MPa or 5,650 N/mm²), while carbon fibre heated from 2500 to 3000 °C (graphitizing) exhibits a higher modulus of elasticity (77,000,000 psi or 531 GPa or 531 kN/mm²).

So... What was up with that long paragraph of carbon fibre, something you don't know?

Because.... KAPOW!!!

Introducing my new... Band! Hoooooo! It's not a ring because it has no gem in the middle. It's steel on the side and... you guessed it, the black part's carbon fibre. Looks very, very nice. A beauty, hooooo!!

Okaaaaay!

In any case, it was a fun day. Went out in the morning with the family to Plaza Singapura for brunch. Then came back to CWP for a movie. M:I:III.

Some people think it's wrong but if you recall the original title was titled in this manner: "Mission: Impossible". Means the colon is right. So it's "M:I" right? Now you see because the roman numeral 3 is 3 "i"s. Meaning if they are put together it looks like "Mission Four". Which is wrong, because the roman numeral for 4 is "IV". So another colon to signify the "three" part.

Never mind. Tense right in the beginning, then the rest was just... Normal. You know, stuff you would kind of expect from a movie like this. But the beginning just blows your mind. You can feel that tensity of that moment, and you feel like jumping out of your seat anytime. Great one. But the rest of the movie was just average. So yeah.

That's all for now.

And oh, the word "POLALION" is carved in my band. So it's mine. Hah.

Brain

Take the brain test here

68.8% auditory
31.3% visual
75% left brain
25% right brain

Zhaohan, you are strongly left-hemisphere dominant and strongly auditory in your learning style, a study in organization, logic, efficiency and structure. There is a danger that you will organize to the extent that you miss the extended meaning or nuances of material.

You are a detail-oriented person, and you attach importance to logic. Objective almost to a fault, you need to have things "make sense" before you can internalize them.

Your preference for the auditory mode implies that you prefer that relationships are well-defined and well-sequenced with metaphor or deviations being disruptive to your learning. Those situations where only visual cues or discriminations are provided will not necessarily be the most efficient learning situations for you. For example, charts or graphs may well not be the most efficient way for you to learn, unless you specifically verbalize the relationships represented, even if subvocally. Unless you have worked to develop compensatory skills, it is likely that situations with high visual demands will increase your anxiety about learning.

With the predominance of your auditory preference, you will tend to be direct and specific about the words your choose. You will have a tendency to attach as much to the way a person says something as to what the person says.

The dual combination of left-hemisphere dominance and auditory preference yields an overall extremely efficient and businesslike approach to learning and life. Fun may be difficult, concern might focus on judging yourself or activities which are enhancing.

The overall likelihood is that you'll be highly efficient and productive in almost any endeavor. You may want to emphasize enjoying your own skills and attributes more and utilize those in developing some of the less complete aspects of yourself.
