死读书+读死书=weak in fundamentals

psa interview on friday morning...fumbled at the technical questions...interviewer gave me a choice of wat questions i want...i thought maybe i studying fluids now...maybe got better chance of giving a better answer...

"explain water hammer" ...ooh...just learnt that on thursday...so i explained it the best i could with diagrams...

next choice...thermo..."explain refrigeration cycle"...ooh...learnt that in yr2...stumped...could only scribble out a t-s diagram...screwed...mind block...should have drawn out the pump+compressor+evaporator+some constant enthalpy thing no?...

so i just told the interviewers i cannot remember le...cause very long never touch le...gave a lame excuse say this kind of thing must constantly use then can remember better...

he laughed saying havent grad and everything give back teacher liao...those are fundamentals...once learnt should remember one...if cannot remember means fundamentals are weak...

oh well...

that's what you get for 死读书-ing all your life adrian...

tried out "sprinting" for my run on friday afternoon...6 x 400m with about a minute's rest in between...totally breathless...think shall try to maintain 3 runs per wk...1 for full 2.4km...another for "sprints" and last one for jiak hong chu route...

got my reservist call-up yesterday too through all ways possible...sms+phone call+email...pester you until you acknowledge that you received the notice...jun26-jul01...how nice...

got my amber alert reminder too today...sms+email...apr11-18...exam period...how nice

feeling the heat of trying to keep to what i said about "being thankful"...not as easy as i thought especially when your chips are down...

oh well...

it's times like these when a hobbes would come in handy no?
