Souseki Bill Trick

i was once reminded of childhood trick. remember when you folded the dollar bill to make Washington smile or frown, welp, the Japanese can do it too! – thanks to peter payne.

souseki bill trick

there’s a lot of mystery about krunk which has remained hidden for a very long time, and shall remain that way. everyone who thinks they know me, doesn’t know much about krunk. everyone who thinks they know about krunk, doesn’t know much about me. let’s just say that krunk emerged in 7th grade and has evolved to something which i no longer know. he has his friends, i have mine. he does stuff in the dark, while i’m in the light. he even gets credit card applications for god sake! well, today, i’ll let you catch a glimpse of Krunk’s history. i just bumped into one of his long lost friends, who he’s known at least 7 years.

im doing pretty good. started working full time now. i goto yoda.realns.com nowadays but my home machine just bit the dust so have to upgrade.

jammy is currently engaged and plans to marry next march. i wish him the best of luck. ^_^x

welp, i almost forgot to tell you about cunndogg’s shocking adventure after his retreat! he drank a lot that night (at least 1/3 of a BIG bottle of whiskey, dunno the liters but it’s the biggest bottle of Seagrams you can find @ Safeway). well, he was got so drunk during that retreat, he actually threw up, but cant really recall do it till the next morning. he called me up on sunday morning and said, ‘Toland, i’m outta gas!’ while driving home. he apparently lost his wallet (which a friend found later and returned to him) and he was no where near home. what to do? what to do??? (drum rolls…) hopefully, he had went over the bay bridge earlier that weekend and gotten change left in the car. so he filled $2 worth of gasoline and drove home. after filling up his tank of gasoline, he realized he had actually reached or even surpassed the maximum volume for his gasoline tank. wow!

thanks to ungsunghero, he taught me a new cool trick for windows XP. right click your desktop -> ‘Arrange Icons By’ -> uncheck ‘Show Desktop Items’. not that special of a trick, but i just never knew it was there. ^_^x

btw, more doodles are up! hurray!

FemMed Inc. – The Stand Up™ People

women beware! you’re in for a scare! the new facisnating invention by FemMed has now allowed women to urinate STANDING UP! This is no joke! Come on up and give it a try. No more long lines anywhere, easily disposable, and MUCH MUCH MORE! We currently have a demonstration just for you! j/k. hehe anyway, i found this to be really hilarious. thanks to yellowfiero for donation this link: FemMed Inc. – The Stand Up™ People.

finally did my laundry today. whew! glad that’s over with.

Hikaru no Go – 47 was released yesterday (finally!!!). it’s been atleast 2 weeks. =(. anyway the story is getting even exciting now cause Hikrau is going to battle the MAN, and Sai is… well, don’t really want to ruin the story for you guys. i’m left hanging here too. i want to read the manga, however, if i do, then the anime itself no longer has any meaning to watch. i’ll just watch the anime and read the manga later. hehe. ^_^x

btw, for those who are going to Laura’s party this friday, it’s been rescheduled to the following friday or until further notice. ^_^x

Earthlink Popup Blocker

today, i found a very useful tool (thanks to earthlink’s spam). on contrary, this tool is used to stop spam (ie. pop up ads/windows). before, most popup stopping programs required you to start a program every time your computer boots and have it go through this firewall type of thing. lots of configuration which i didn’t particularly liked. however, Earthlink Pop-Up BLOCKER integrates itself right into internet explorer and no configuration of anything is required. it’s really ez to add safe zones in case which you prefer to have pop up windows work (*wink* *wink* krunk4ever.com should be added to your safe zone *wink* *wink*) lol. i don’t think my site has any popup windows, and let’s hope it stays that way. ^_^x well, i’ve chatted a lot, but haven’t even told you where to get it. click here to download it. if the link doesn’t work, please email me.

still haven’t had a chance to do laundry yet. definitely tomorrow. underwear supply has run extremely low. will only last approximately, who am i kidding, it’ll last only 1 more day.

ordered a MiniDisc Player today. got myself a Sony N505 (silver) for $87 shipped. thanks to my $40 gift certificate amazon gave me for free + several coupons. now i need some cheap MiniDisc media deals.

guess who i bumped into today. SEEBA!!! was walking home and bumped right into him in front of my apartment complex. he was on his way to get some thai food so i followed since it was 4pm and i haven’t eaten anything yet for the whole day. what do u call a meal @ 4pm? does it constitute as lunch or dinner? if i eat something @ 12am. does that constitute as dinner or a late night snack? anyway my time schedule is all messed up. hehe. it was a really nice get together since seeba and i really haven’t had time to chat for a REALLY long time.

SES – Korean Band

today was one of the more exciting days of the week. went this morning to samgoody in hayward to check out a deal on minidisc players. cunndogg grabbed a MRZ500 that was on clearance for $128 total. then i met up with cari, decat, mechy, and will. ohfuee couldn’t get outta bed to come with us. =( hehe. anyway, we went into Oakland Chinatown and ate @ the dim sum place somewhere. lol, this marks my 2nd time eating dim sum with friends. usually i have them with my parents. it’s also the first time i’ve ridden BART after i got back to berkeley. wow, so many first attempts today. we then went to decathanerd’s apartment and got some Soul Caliber 2, DOA2, and Power Stone 2 action. but the truly surprising event of the day was when ohfuee told me that my long lost elementary friend was coming up to visit. pokerbob, who i haven’t met since 3rd grade. well actually we did meet during 6th grade during math field day and we were competing against each other. lol. we were like best buddies before. pokerbob, slicktran, and i could be said to be today’s sueon, crabyaple, and me. we went to la loma to and shot pool for 2 hours. really nice.

today, when talking to PuchikoChan today, we brought up one of my favorite Korean bands: SES. my favorite 3 songs are: Dreams Come True, Oh My Love, and I’m Your Girl. i haven’t listened to their songs in years, but i found the cd i burnt the songs on and have been listening to their albums for the past few hours. PuchikoChan also sent me a really cute picture of the girls here. i also uploaded a short clip which i really liked here (36megs). enjoy ^_^x

check out what princeton review says cal is known as #2 for: link – thanks to panzer

oh yeah, mechy reminded me it was mid-autumn festival today, so i’d like to wish everyone a happy mid-autumn festival and don’t get too stuffed on mooncakes, they’re really fattening. BUT THEY’RE SO GOOD! I especially liked the pure lotus seed ones with no egg yolk. i hate egg yolk in my moon cakes. they cost $5 more for the egg yolk and taste nasty. anyway, here’s a card for you guys – thanks to lsyimle.

Homework on Fridays

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 particularly liked the pedophile 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

Every Anime Character

well, today is my favorite day besides saturday and sunday. well, i dont particularly 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

Missing UPC

i was planning more for more doodles today, but that’ll haveta wait. cunndogg’s asleep and i don’t 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 canceled 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. checked 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 everything out and put everything back in. well, thank god i checked it one more time. it was stuck 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 check 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

Set of Integers and Natural Numbers are the Same Size

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 between 0 and 1 exclusive. lets try the function 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 positive 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 link. that girl is amazing and this link was donated by AznEECS. g’nite ^_^x

Completed Bathroom

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:

completed bathroom

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 stuttering 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. in fact, 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 planning out the optimal class schedules. u input 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
