arggggh, i hate my cs61b hw. missed out seeba/milkman/lorie's bbq tonite. was going to be a great reunion too! =( why does our professor have to torture us by making homework due on fridays!?!?! does he automatically assume that eecs have no life? great teacher i've gotta say, but ahhhhhh! any, hw was due @ 12am so i BSed a couple of the questions and submitted it.

i watched 'The Professional' today. great movie! but for some reason, i didn't particularily liked the pediphile implications they kept on putting into the script. lots of tactics, strategy, and my favorite part was when that french guy (also in Wasabi - also a classic! saw it on JAL (japan airlines)) figured out how to escape. too bad the ending wasn't... nah i won't spoil it. hehe

someone pointed out that the prom link in my previous projects didn't work and it has now been fixed.

amazon.com is awesome. i got my disney dvd 3pak (toy story, toy story 2, a bug's life) for only $25! they also canceled my another order of mines and to make it up to me, gave me a $40 Gift Certificate. the order it self was only $25! sweet huh?

thanks to RIPFace for providing this clip. it's like Initial D but in real life! very skilled drivers. wish i had a car to try something like that. hehe. ^_^x

well, today is my favorite day besides saturday and sunday. well, i dont particularily like sundays much, but sleeping in is always fun. on thursdays, i only have one class. after 11am, i'm a free man. came back and took a nice long nap.

best part of the day was when liam came over and we went out for dinner @ some thai restaurant on solano. guy's nite out again and we were just chatting (mostly gossips, but guy gossip is different from girl gossip, guys just say it to laugh, girls jot it in their brain either to spread or to use it as blackmail later on). of course, then there was trigger happy tv. awesome show.

welp, as promised, new doodles are up. so enjoy ^_^x. you'll noticed that there's one with color. it was by accident. my finger was bleeding and it made a red dot on the sheet. i was watching Samurai Deeper Kyo and the main character had red eyes, so i decided to take advantage of that color instead of my normal black&white doodles.

Suppers donated this link. It's a 4meg picture so i might take some ppl awhile to download, but supposedly contains all the anime characters pre-1990 or even later.

and remember TGIF! ^_^x

i was planning more for more doodles today, but that'll haveta wait. cunndogg's asleep and i dont want the scanner to wake him up. anyway, parent's want me to come home during veteran's weekend so i guess i'm going home. already booked my tickets on southwest. if anyone else wants to come along, msg me. ^_^x

sad news guys, i've ditched my 2nd class this semester. this time it was cs61b discussion. i hope i didn't miss anything important. it was just that ee20 lec and dis were back to back and they were so boring, i slept through both of them.

i got my new toy today! w00h00! it's a firewire enclosure for a hd or cdrom or etc. it's pretty neat. i got several hds lying around so this'll be my portable drive. really wanted one that supported both usb and firewire for dual compatibility, however my order was cancelled cause they ran outta stock. guess firewire along is good enough. ^_^x

one of the stupidest things happened to me today. i was filling out the rebate form for my Fuji CD-Rs. i cut the UPC code out on purpose to get it ready. however, after filling out the rebate form, the upc code was no longer to be found. i was like o shoot! spent about an hour looking for that thing. chked paper after paper to see if it was stuck onto. checked both my trashcans to see if i accidentally threw it away. finally, i retraced my steps and i knew i had the upc sitting there. i recall throwing a piece of paper in the trashcan cause it was no longer of any use. but i've checked the trash can at least 8x. even dumped everythign out and put everything back in. well, thank god i checked it one more time. it was stucked to the back of some piece of paper crumbled up together. w00h00! saved $10 right there. ironic i was about to throw $10 in the trash. -_^x

finally, i'd like to introduce u to gootecks. many of u should know him, probably by a more familiar name of itsryawn, but chk out what a man went through just to get the thing done. i mean i would've given up halfway. more info @ FatWallet. FatWallet's a crazy place all right. i had one of my best bitter arguments with some dude this morning. too bad FW deleted it (or i can't seem to find it). hehe. anyway, g'nite ^_^zzz

nothing much really happened today. got a lot of hw done and etc. no new anime. sigh...

but here's something for you to ponder upon. in mathematics, 2 sets of numbers are said to be the same size if u can match up one # from each set all the way to the end. do u still follow? cause the next step will jump out like you crazily. at first i was shocked too and tried to disprove it, but according to mathematics if there exist ONE one-to-one function between 2 sets of #s, then the domain and range are the same size. think about this D:{set of all even #s} and R:{set of all odd #s) and with the function f(d) = d+1 = r; then that's a one-to-one function mapping evens to odds; therefore both sets are the same size. what threw me off was when liam said that the set of integers and the set of natural numbers was the same size. i was like no way! the set of integers is like 2x the size of the set of natural #s. my grounds was that the set of integers include the set of natural #s (i'm still standing for this pt, although after our TA/GSI told us that liam was correct, i'm just making a fool outta myself). the thing is we can map the set of integers onto the set of naturals with a one-to-one function. think of this function where:
f(d) = {
..(d+1)/2 if d is odd;
..(-d)/2 if d is even;
}
this function maps every single integer you give it, onto the set of all natural #s. think about another equation. the set of all real #s between 0 and 1 exclusive and the set of all real #s greater than 1. they are the same size although the set of it's obvious (or as liam says, you've been fooled) that the set of real #s greater than 1 is larger than the set of #s betwee 0 and 1 exclusive. lets try the funcion f(x) = 1/x. Throw in any real # greater 1 and you'll get a corresponding real # between 0 and 1. throw in any # between 0 and 1 and you'll get a # greater than 1. no matter what # you try, this will always work.

now i come to my hypothesis. since you can use one function to prove this true, why can't i use one function to prove it's not true. such as the set of postive reals and the set of all reals. since i was easily fooled to see the set of reals is 2x the size of the set of positive reals, i went ahead and found the function f(x) = x*x. Given any real #, i will always get back a positive real #, but the phenomenon is that there is exactly 2x the # of inputs than outputs meaning i can get 9 with +/-3. meaning i've found an equation which has shown that the size of all reals is actually twice the size of positive reals. liam says i can't do this because you can easily find a function to disprove anything, but those are just specific cases. the main thing is that if there exists at least one function that maps it from one-to-one, the it's the same size. i sort of get what he's trying to lead at, but there is that gap that i see increasing as u approach infinity. anyone wanna prove or disprove this? hehe.

for those that was bored with my semi-lecture, check out this link. that girl is amazing and this link was donated by AznEECS. g'nite ^_^x

the highlight of my day was when our bathroom finally is finished. it looks superb right now. new tiles, new facets (or whatever u call that shower thing with knobs and a shower head), and a new paint job. mitch did a great job i've gotta say. so tomorrow, i can resume back to normal showers. ^_^x here's a picture of it:

well, then again, my highlight of the day could've been seeing my ex-roommate for the 1st time again since i've returned to berkeley. mandalayx, ben, cunndogg, and i went to mel's for dinner and guess who we bumped into??? AMBER! ordering food was even more hilarious. when it was ben's turn to order, he asked for a cheeseburger, when he really meant grilled cheese sandwich. but he was studdering and couldn't remember what he wanted. when he finally did, he said, "i'd like to order a grilled cheese sandwich, baby. i'm sorry, i didn't mean to call you baby." the waitress goes, "oh, don't worry about it. infact, i like it when u call me baby." ben tries to defend and it just got worse. she says, "now i'm not good enough for you. you're such a heart breaker." it was so hilarious! when she brought our food over, she gave special treatment to ben and said, "here you go, baby."

then we went to safeway cause cunndogg wanted some booze. got more of his favorite seagram. mandalayx sorta disappeared midway talking on his cellfone. we were at the car already and decided to park somewhere else and see if he could find us. it was so funny.

worst part of my day was my confrontation. everyone kept saying i had this girlfriend which i never met. i mean, i would know right? or am i just blinded since i'm in the middle of the situation. sigh...

guess one! there's been a new site being spread around the Berkeley Newsgroups. It's called Final Distance. it's been added to my links section but is supposedly a great tool for help in plannig out the optimal class schedules. u imput your list of classes and then it'll choose the best discussion section/lab section to fit in the most packed schedule. it also factors in lots of other factors that u may select. u can even tell it no classes before 10am or something. really interesting so if you're in berkeley, u may wanna bookmark this link. ^_^x
