Singapore Flyer's builder arrives as police probe breakdown incident
SINGAPORE: The chairman of the company that built the Singapore Flyer – the world's biggest observation wheel – arrived in Singapore on Friday.
A Singapore Flyer spokesperson confirmed that Florian Bollen, chairman of locally-headquartered Great Wheel Corp, is here but declined any further comment, other than to say he flies regularly in and out of the country.
The company is also building observation wheels in Beijing, Berlin and Orlando.
Police are currently investigating Tuesday night's disruption that trapped scores of people on board the Singapore Flyer for nearly seven hours. Operations at the Flyer have been suspended.
Police have said it would only be allowed to resume operations once it has been certified safe by an internationally recognised body that assesses safety standards for amusement rides.

Stampede for 'Bush shoe' creates 100 new jobs
I was "Wow" when i saw this news
Stampede for 'Bush shoe' creates 100 new jobs
Their deployment as a makeshift missile robbed President George Bush of his dignity and landed their owner in jail. But the world's most notorious pair of shoes have yielded an unexpected bonanza for a Turkish shoemaker.
Ramazan Baydan, owner of the Istanbul-based Baydan Shoe Company, has been swamped with orders from across the world, after insisting that his company produced the black leather shoes which the Iraqi journalist Muntazar al-Zaidi threw at Bush during a press conference in Baghdad last Sunday.
Baydan has recruited an extra 100 staff to meet orders for 300,000 pairs of Model 271 - more than four times the shoe's normal annual sale - following an outpouring of support for Zaidi's act, which was intended as a protest, but led to his arrest by Iraqi security forces.
Orders have come mainly from the US and Britain, and from neighbouring Muslim countries, he said.
Around 120,000 pairs have been ordered from Iraq, while a US company has placed a request for 18,000. A British firm is understood to have offered to serve as European distributor for the shoes, which have been on the market since 1999 and sell at around £28 in Turkey. A sharp rise in orders has been recorded in Syria, Egypt and Iran, where the main shoemaker's federation has offered to provide Zaidi and his family with a lifetime's supply of shoes.
To meet the mood of the marketplace, Baydan is planning to rename the model "the Bush Shoe" or "Bye-Bye Bush".
"We've been selling these shoes for years but, thanks to Bush, orders are flying in like crazy. We've even hired an agency to look at television advertising," he said.
Zaidi has been in custody since the shoe-throwing incident, amid claims that he has been badly beaten. He faces a possible jail sentence for insulting a foreign leader, but has reportedly apologised and requested a pardon from Iraq's prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki.

Liar Game
Another japan drama that I an rewatching, Liar Game. Nice and very interesting show. Kanzai Nao is a very honest person who get cheated easily. But on one day she was invited to join this game called "Liar Game". In the first round she have to cheat her opponent who is her middle school teacher, but she was too nice and doesnt want to win this game and also she trust her teacher too much and in the end she got cheated. After that she a Akiyama who is a genius swindler who got caught 3 years ago. Now they will work together to overcome this "Liar Game!". Those games are quite interesting, you can try it out with your friend, but off course not with money LOL.
Akiyama
Kanzaki Nao
Plot:
Nao Kanzaki, a honest college student, receives 100 million yen (about $1,000,000) one day, along with a card saying that she has been chosen to participate in the "Liar Game". In order to win the game, she must trick other players into giving her their 100 million yen while her opponents are left in debt.
The objective of the first round is to steal the 100 million yen that is issued to her opponent, Kazuo Fujisawa, a former teacher of hers, who easily deceives her, while preventing her opponent from stealing her 100 million yen. Before the round ends, she comes across Shinichi Akiyama, a genius swindler, who helps her to succeed winning the first round. However, after the first round, a second round of Liar Game awaits them.
The second round of the Liar Game is taken place in a mansion. The 22 players who won the first round are given a jewel worth 100 million yen each as "Game Money" as they compete in a game. The 22 players vote either "Yes" or "No" when asked a random question. The minority of the result survives and the majority leaves with a debt, 100 million yen. The final person gets the 2.1 billion yen, 2.2 billion yen minus their 100 million yen, as the prize. Akiyama enters (as a substitute for someone who doesn't wish to continue in the game), wins the game, and then decides to split the prize money so that Nao and the people they had teamed up with to win the game could pay their debt. However, after paying off everyone else's debt, Akiyama doesn't have enough money to pay the cost of dropping out himself. He decides to continue playing the Liar Game to find out who is behind it, and then loses all contact with Nao.
A week later, Nao enters the Liar Game Revival Round, for those who lost previous rounds of the Liar Game. She intends to win the Revival Round in order to get the money necessary to pay the cost for Akiyama to drop out. The Revival Round is a "downsizing game" that has eight contestants besides Nao. One will be eliminated while the remaining eight will proceed to the third round. At the end of the Revival Round Nao is able to win and take everyone else's money with Akiyama's help. Nao figures that the Liar Game is actually a competition for people to be honest and upstanding: in each round, the LGT gives 100 million yen to each player and collects it at end of each round. But if the winner of each round gives back all the money to the other players and doesn't use their extra money to drop out, the LGT does not make a profit. This means that no one loses if everyone cooperates, but everyone loses if one person decides to become greedy for him or herself.
Soon the third round begins. Akiyama and the 8 winners of the Revival Round go in a bus with blacked-out windows to an abandoned airport, the location of the game. The game of the third round is the "contraband game", a team game in which each team must smuggle money out of an opposing country so it can be transferred to a third country. The two main countries in this game are labelled "Northern Country" and "Southern Country", and are represented by two adjacent rooms. Each team will take turns being smugglers and customs officials. When a team is the smuggling team, they must select one team member as the smuggler. The smuggler will get a briefcase, and take money from the fictional bank account and put it in the briefcase. Each player gets 400 million yen total: 100 mil already in the third country, and 300 mil in the opposing country. The briefcase can hold a maximum of 100 mil. The customs official team will select one member to be the customs official for that team. The smuggler and customs official will be put in a soundproof room with a one-way window for 10 minutes. During that time, the customs official can ask the smuggler questions, watch the smuggler's body langauge, etc, to figure out how much money is in the suitcase. They cannot touch the smuggler or briefcase. When the customs official is ready, they press a button (to disable the soundproofing) and say either "Pass", signifying they don't believe any money is in the briefcase, or "Doubt", signifying they believe the briefcase contains money. If the customs official says doubt, they must also say how much money they believe is in the briefcase. Thus there are four possible scenarios:
Scenario 1: Customs official passes. If this is the case, the smuggler has successfully smuggled any money in the briefcase.
Scenario 2: Customs official doubts, but there is no money in the briefcase. If this is the case, the smuggler will receive an indemnity from the customs official equal to half the amount of the money the customs official declared.
Scenario 3: Customs official doubts, and the amount of money in the suitcase is equal to or less than the declared doubt (unless the amount of money is 0). If this is the case, the smuggle is unsuccessful, and the customs official gets all the money in the briefcase.
Scenario 4: Customs official doubts, and the amount of money is greater than the declared doubt. If this is the case, the smuggler successfully smuggles the money and the smuggler receives an indemnity equal to half the declared doubt from the customs official.
The objective of the game is to smuggle all 300 mil in your bank account in the opposing nation out. The game will consist of 50 rounds; one round is having each team be the customs official team and the smuggling team once. After the 50 rounds, the team that has smuggled out the most money wins, and any money that remains in the bank accounts of the opposing country will be divided evenly between the members of the opposing team. There is an opportunity to win much money in this round. Not only because each player gets 400 mil as opposed to 100 mil, but because there are several ways to get money: from smuggling as the smuggler, from receiving indemnities as the smuggler, from catching smugglers as the customs official, and from the other team's unsmuggled money at the end of the game. It is revealed that the Akiyama and the 8 winners of the Revival Round are one team, the Southern Country, and 9 new characters form the Northern Country.

Genshiken
Another Anime that I have re-watch, Genshiken! I think this show is rather interesting because it show how otaku live in japan university and shows what activity they have done during these 3 years in ther school life.
About Genshiken
Genshiken follows the lives of a group of college students drawn together by their shared hobbies, and the trials and adventures associated with being otaku. The story begins with the introduction of Kanji Sasahara, a shy, confidence-lacking freshman who on club day at university, decides to join a club he would actually enjoy, Genshiken. Over his four years at Shiiou University, Sasahara comes to accept himself for who he is and loses the inhibitions and guilt he once felt and associated with otaku culture, becoming an enthusiastic clubmember, and for a time, a capable club president. As the story of Genshiken progresses, focus is also placed on Saki Kasukabe, a determined non-otaku who initially struggles to drag her boyfriend out of the club, and Chika Ogiue, a self-professed otaku-hater who feels a deep-seated shame and self-loathing toward her own interests and hobbies.
During the course of the series, the reader bears witness as the group grows in its cohesiveness over time, and bonds form between the characters as they begin to see themselves as more than fellow club members, but friends as well. In this context, club activities such as group outings, the biannual pilgrimage to Comifes, and even simply hanging out in the clubroom, allow the characters' complex relationships to grow into friendship, infatuation, and at times, even love. While a few of them never quite see eye-to-eye about their interests or the lives they lead, they are held together by the bonds of friendship that they share.

Rewatch Dragon zakura
This weekend quite boring, other than exercise, nth to do lol. So i decide to rewatch some japan drama. The first japan drama that i rewatch is Dragon Zakura. Long time didnt watch and its still interesting and NICE!
Synopsis:
Sakuragi Kenji is a destitute lawyer and one-time member of a motorcyle gang trying to guide failing high school students with an average score of 36 into Japan's most prestigious educational institution, Tokyo University (Toudai).
"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!"
For no other reason than Sakuragi's personal ambition, he has advertised his intention to produce 5 successful Toudai applicants from the students of a nearly bankrupt failure of a school.
"If you want to change your life, get into Toudai!" He will get them from this lowest of all schools into Japan's number one!!
Our protagonist, Sakuragi Kenji, played by Abe Hiroshi in his first role as a high school teacher, is a must see in this summer's new show. This third rate lawyer soon becomes the homeroom teacher for the special advanced class aiming for Toudai University entrance. Hasegawa Kyouko costars as english teacher and Sakuragi's opponent, and Yamashita Tomohisa from NEWS and Nagasawa Masami also appear in the role of students. This awaited original work and fascinating world view is brought to you from the popular serialized comic in Shuukan Morning (Kodansha) and has even been updated!
In addition to revealing essential test taking techniques for everyone who wants to know how to get into Toudai, Dragon Zakura will also teach the essentials of living one's life.
Opening song
My thoughts for this show
Its quite nice and interesting to see how poor in studies student study so hard and aiming for Todai, Japan number 1 university. It tell us that no matter how weak you are, how poor you are in your studies, if you have the determination to do it, you can do it!
Although not all of them able to enter Todai in their first try but they have the "Never Give Up" spirit that push them till this far. If not, those student will not be able to have their own aim in their life. Its quite realistic show because in the end the result its not perfect and this is how life is about.
Well if you have the time try to watch this show, it may inspire you to aim higher in your studies as well as in your life!

My thoughts for this show
Its quite nice and interesting to see how poor in studies student study so hard and aiming for Todai, Japan number 1 university. It tell us that no matter how weak you are, how poor you are in your studies, if you have the determination to do it, you can do it!
Although not all of them able to enter Todai in their first try but they have the "Never Give Up" spirit that push them till this far. If not, those student will not be able to have their own aim in their life. Its quite realistic show because in the end the result its not perfect and this is how life is about.
Well if you have the time try to watch this show, it may inspire you to aim higher in your studies as well as in your life!
Change blog skin to hikaru no go!
Yo, I have change my blog skin again! The blog skin is base on an anime call hikaru no go. This anime is basically a game of Go.
This is how a Go board look like
About Go:
Go is a strategic board game for two players. It is known as wéiqí in Chinese (Traditional: 圍棋; Simplified: 围棋), igo (囲碁, igo?) or go (碁, go?) in Japanese, and baduk in Korean (hangul: 바둑). Go is noted for being rich in strategic complexity despite its simple rules. Go originated in China, where it has been played for more than 2500 years. It is most popular in East Asia, but has gained some popularity in the rest of the world in recent years.
Go is played by two players who alternately place black and white stones on the vacant intersections of a grid of 19×19 lines. The object of the game is to surround a larger portion of the board than the opponent. A stone or a group of stones is captured and removed if it has no empty adjacent intersections, the result of being completely surrounded by stones of the opposing color.
Despite the fact that Go originated in ancient China, it is commonly known in the West by its Japanese name, go. This stems from the fact that early Western players learned of the game from Japanese sources. As a result, many Go concepts for which there is no ready English equivalent have become known elsewhere by their Japanese names. The Japanese name igo is linked to the Japanese reading of its Chinese name wéiqí, which roughly translates as "board game of surrounding". To differentiate it from the common English verb to go, it is sometimes capitalized. An alternate spelling is also used occasionally.
About the anime:
The same basic storyline is followed by the manga and anime, with a few small changes between the versions. While exploring his grandfather's shed, Hikaru stumbles across a Go board haunted by the spirit of Fujiwara-no-Sai, a fictional Go player from the Heian era. Sai wishes to play Go again, having not been able to since the late Edo period, when he possessed the body of Hon'inbō Shūsaku, an actual Go player of that period. Sai's greatest desire is to attain the Kami-no-Itte (神の一手) – "Divine Move", or the "Hand of God" – a perfect game. Because Hikaru is apparently the only person who can perceive him, Sai inhabits a part of Hikaru's mind as a separate personality, coexisting, although not always comfortably, with the child.
Urged by Sai, Hikaru begins playing Go despite an initial lack of interest in the game. He begins by mimicking the moves Sai dictates to him, but Sai tells him to try to understand each move. In a Go salon, Hikaru defeats Akira Toya, a boy his age who plays Go at professional level, by following Sai's instruction. Akira subsequently begins a quest to discover the source of Hikaru's strength, an obsession which will come to dominate his life.
Hikaru becomes intrigued by the great dedication of Akira and Sai to the game and decides to start playing solely on his own. He is a complete novice at first, but has some unique abilities to his advantage; for instance, once he has a basic understanding of Go, he can reconstruct a game play by play from memory. Through training at Go clubs, study groups, and practice games with Sai, he manages to become an insei and later a pro, meeting various dedicated Go players of different ages and styles along the way. While Hikaru is at this point not yet up to the level of Akira, he demonstrates a natural talent for the game and remains determined to prove his own abilities to Akira, Sai, and himself.

3rd week of FYP
3 weeks of FYP just fly off, didn't really do much stuff, but its nice to make new friends and get to work on new stuff which is electronics lol. I was posted to blk L339, the only place in blk L which contain MIT people. Because almost all MIT student except us, are in blk S. Although we are in different blk, but it is more carefree compared to blk S which have DT to supervise the student.
We chat laugh and walk walk also no one care because we have no DT and such a great time will be over soon since we are moving to blk s and the most important thing is that I am put together with Vincent n the same room. Only 6 people not including me move into the same room as me and the others move to different room.
I also have been training about 3 weeks, non stop training then today decide to take a rest to relax my muscle so that i can do more weight training tomorrow. 23rd is the napfa test then 20 jan is the last as I mention on my previous post. Hope i can do well on the 23rd, but i don't think I can see the result of my training yet. So hope everything comes smoothly!
