Why YouTube Freezes At 301 Views Explained!

I have always pondered why some YouTube videos got their views stuck at the magic number 301, but I didn't really bother to find out why, until a friend she showed me a link to this video.

They should have put >300 instead of >=300. Haha, then would have a more round number 300 instead of 301. I thought that the number meant something magical or something for YouTube, but it's just the way the programmer codes it during the early days.

Time Goes By So Slowly

Had a class at noon, which ended at around 3pm. :/ The class was pretty fun, about negotiation. The in-class activities were fun too. :O The tedious part would be the project I suppose, as we need to interview 3 reputable person who are good negotiators. Hmm.

Killing t.i.m.e. since after my class ended at 3pm, I have a night class at 7pm later, till 10.15pm. Oh well, I wished my night class would start at an earlier time slot, 3.30pm. Having too long of a break time can be counter-productive I feel. I would rather trade them for 6 hours back to back classes, then I could go home to have some dinner and rest for the night early. :P

My lonely dinner today before class. :/ 
Prawn Aglio set from Tea Party at SMU! It only costs $4.50 for a pasta and iced tea set! How cheap right! And for that price, I think it's super worth it. The taste is good too, considering the price. ;) But sometimes got long queue :(

One thing to note, always remember not to smile too wide after eating, 
go to the toilet to check it in the mirror first. :P
Else will end up like the image below.

TADA!
Hahaha true story! Especially since the pasta contains bits of garlic and greenie stuffs. :O

Hello 2013!


Countdown to the new year in town area. It was madness, the crowd. 


Went to the Asian Civilisation Museum and got our 'glitter tattoos'. And they even had this photobooth thing where they will print out the photos instantly on the spot for you, in the form of credit card size for you to keep it in the wallet. Best of all, it's free! :D Since when museum became so HIP! Got their own countdown event and performances. But we didn't linger for long, the outside concert performances were crowded.

Recorded the fireworks! Stood there waiting for nearly an hour just for the fireworks. :( 
Oh well, guess no more next time, too lazy to do this in the future.


Yay, I won a pair of movie tickets to watch Cloud Atlas on 15th Jan, it's only officially out here in Singapore on the 17th though. But so sad, the timing is kinda late. By the time the movie (170 minutes) ends, I'll have no transport back home. Taking a cab would be more expensive than the tickets themselves, not really worth it. So had to give it away to one of my friends. :(

On a random note, school has started a week already for me. It's going to be my final semester. :,( Somehow, I think I'm going to miss school life. Definitely not for the exams/projects, but for the awesome friendship made throughout the 4 years. And to think that we're all going to go our separate ways after graduation makes me sad. 

Met up with Rebecca today for lunch. 
Decided to try some restaurant called The Pizza Place in at City Hall area. 
Like their logo though, think it's cute!

Carbonara with Bacon
 Ordered the above for $9.80. It isn't that nice I feel. It tasted too pepper-ish. :/ Maybe since it's called The Pizza Place then I should order a pizza right. Hahaha.

6 Inch Pizza
 Well, my friend she ordered some pizza for around $10 to $11. Definitely tasted better than mine :(

 Oh well, maybe I'll go back again to try other stuffs. ^_^ The thing I like about this restaurant is that there is no service charge/gst! What you see is what you get. Yay for poor students like me. :)

UU Beancurd at Jurong East station
Bought the original beancurd ($1.50) while waiting for the bus to arrive. Had to say it tasted like the famous Lao Ban beancurd, very pudding kind. Good, now I can have beancurd that tasted like Lao Ban near my house. :D

Before I forget, today is 1314 = 一生一世! Nice date to get married hahaha!
