Jangling dischords

On Saturday I attended the Youth Congress 2009 held at Taylors University College organised by the Rotaract Club (Wai Cheng). We got high profile speakers like the Vinod rubber guy, Niki Cheong and Roshan (Leaderonomics). Very inspirational people.

Throughout the talk there were names like Steve Jobs, Hitler and Martin Luther King thrown around frequently. The theme was “Change” and that day I learnt a lot.

One Dance song (clubbing dance, not numa-numa dance) that I had a flashback of, was the one my Russian Dance group, PPK… “I have a Dream” [Youtube] with a sample of Martin Luther King’s speech.

“I’m not afraid of the guy with the big fists, the big brains, the big attitude, the big wallet, the big mouth, the sharp tongue. No, not at all. But I’m afraid of the guy who can influence people, who motivates the brains, who spurrs up the tough nut and who moves an army willing to sacrifice their lives for a cause. The person to be afraid of is the influencing people.

Man Utd v Arsenal CL Semifinals 2009

When they said Man Utd had the easiest draw of the group, I agreed. But I told YW, “Yes, but we’ll be meeting the toughest opponent in the semifinals in Arsenal”. I was right.

I had a dream. No, not Martin Luther King sorta dream, but rather a weird and unconventional one. I was involved in a situation where I had to make a decision, and I backed down instead of following through. Was I easily swayed, or can we call it a rational move? I like it when a well-timed-aggression move pays off. Which reminds me:

Lukas has a good Poker face.

When I woke up, it was already the 60th minute. Didn’t see any goal action but I hear that it was from an impossible distance. Footytube.com to the rescue.

Bird Word – coined by Yap and gang, it is a literal translation of the Hokkien phrase “chiao hua”. The long running Simpsons competitor, Family Guy had a recent episode a month ago using a 60s music, “Bird is the Word”….. that goes something like… Youtube [link]

Surfing Bird – The Trashmen

A-well-a everybody’s heard about the bird
B-b-b-bird, bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A-well-a bird, bird, bird, well the bird is the word
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A-well-a don’t you know about the bird?
Well, everybody knows that the bird is the word!
A-well-a bird, bird, b-bird’s the word
A-well-a…

Maybe we should make it our theme song! We’ll come up with a Phailed Remix ft Tiesto ;) [dreams]

We had a conference last night with Bob. I think there were 5-6 participants, and Skype technology was used. It performed well but it could be better.

Taylors Engineering Fair on Friday 8am-5pm. 30 over projects, probably 5 will be monetised. It would be fun if two parties [sic investors] were bidding for the same project. Hmmmm…. maybe I should make that happen! :P

God is great.

Fantastic talk by Roteract club today. The job-seeking talk was informative, but the talk of the day is the psychologist dude with his eye opening findings and statements.
