AutoCAD for Mac Review

i'M in the midst of doing my final year project so you can see i have neglected my kopi korner for such a long time.

The Mac version of AutoCAD came out for like a month plus and i've been struggling between the two OS to use.
To share the agony of using the mac OS CAD, here's a list of commands and stuff you used to do on Windows platform AutoCAD and not present in the Mac version. Its in the midst of developing so we can't complain much but to feedback to Autodesk.

*list still in progress*

However, here's AUtodesk disclaimer on wad they missed out

2011: What AutoCAD features are not available in AutoCAD for Mac

Paste as Block

There's no option in the clipboard for this command.

Solution:

Maxim_K gave a great solution

After pasting the items you wan into the file, WBLOCK the items

QUICKSELECT
To me, this is a freaking important command when u got hundreds of layers to filter and text to select. For the moment, no solution.


Edit Block in place

So you want to be an Architect?

This is 20% exaggerated but 100% true.

Clients that make u change ur walls 20times by 2inches is true. Designs u made in sch can defy gravity n have no budget.

Happy National Day Singapore!!!

Happy Birthday Singapore! Although u r now filled with tiongs n nehs, but u r still beautiful to me.

The Facts About Bottled Water

I have been avoiding bottled drinks and canned drinks for the past 2 years. I bring around my tap water/water cooler filled nalgene bottle(which look like it has been thru war). Even if i no choice got to get a bottle of green tea or 100 plus, i'll keep the bottle to recycle or reuse if my nalgene is left at home.

Please have a good look and understand the flow chart about bottled water.

Ah.... i was flipping the papers few days ago and someone wrote to the forums about the recycling machine at City Square NTUC.

That same day, i went to recycle 1 bottle with my colleagues. I was explaining to them that the machine will earn you 1point for every bottle/can recycled. The points can be collected and redeem for something(i don't know what it is at that point of time. Just collect the receipt points)

After i feed the bottle and out came the 'points', it came out in a form of paper receipt. For 1 point, i get a piece of paper that is slightly smaller than our ez-link card. For ONLY A POINT.
My colleagues and i were baffled by the "green" idea that they are trying to push...


to be continued....

Char Kuey Teow

my pinoy colleague thought Char Kuey Teow is CHAR-FLAVOURED Kuey Teow.

Stupidity does exist in universities

i wasn't going to blog bout this but this message in a module forum appeared again.

"Dear Prof XXX,

I appreciate your marketing elements in the notes, the notes are colourful and look very nice on screen. But when we print out, it's very hard to read, and very hard to write notes, since e background is getting darker and darker from lesson 1 onwards.

Could you pls make the slides plainer, simpler so it's easier for the printers. Thank you.

Warmest regards"

3 kind souls replied on how to change it or print it in grey scale so it won't be that bad.

It is till this reply that i just saw cracks me up. I applaud this person for daringly posting such a reply in an academic forum. Not like no one would do in forums but this is an academic one. :P

"you should learn the basic of powerpoint, you can't survive in the world without knowing basic stuff like that.

Small things like that post forum and ask the prof to change the notes, don't be lame leh, black and white you dont know how to use? 
siao."

Next movie to watch...

Remember Me (2010)

From official movie website http://www.rememberme-movie.com/

"In the romantic drama Remember Me, Robert Pattinson plays Tyler, a rebellious young man in New York City who has a strained relationship with his father (Pierce Brosnan) ever since tragedy separated their family. Tyler didn’t think anyone could possibly understand what he was going through until the day he met Ally (Emilie de Ravin) through an unusual twist of fate. Love was the last thing on his mind, but as her spirit unexpectedly heals and inspires him, he begins to fall for her. Through their love, he begins to find happiness and meaning in his life. But soon, hidden secrets are revealed, and the circumstances that brought them together slowly threaten to tear them apart. Remember Me is an unforgettable story about the power of love, the strength of family, and the importance of living passionately and treasuring every day of one’s life.

Remember Me also stars Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation), and Academy Award® nominee Lena Olin (Chocolat)."

To keep awake list...

As archi students, we have to keep awake to squeeze the most time out to finish our work, presentation, models, sketches and drawings. Let's start the ball rolling to compile a list on how to keep ourselves awake. I'll update this regularly and put the link up on the right side of my blog.

To keep myself awake, ... ...

1. ... ... i started to watch Spongebob Squarepants online. (Mar 11 2010, 3.34am)

2. ... ... brew your own black black coffee and drink as is. the bitterness will stun you awake and the caffeine will make sure you STAY awake (Mar16 1.30am-Agent P)

My next to-watch-movie: Food, Inc. - Hungry For Change? - About the Issues

Official Food, Inc. Movie Site - Hungry For Change? - About the Issues

Have you wonder how far your food travel from the farmers' hands to the supermarket to your house? Or from the farm to the market to the food stall and finally to your stomach?

I remember seeing movie reviews about Food Inc on the papers. Perhaps the reviews doesn't impact me as much until i was reading a green living blog feed. I

I went to the movie's official website.

I was blown away.

The site's main page has a very beautiful blue sky and a delicious looking fatty cow that reminds me of the succulent tender thinly sliced shabu shabu beef that i crave for once in a while.

As i do a quick browse thru the site, issues on our food journey is scary.

In context to Singapore's lack of natural resources and land, how NEAR can we go to get our food?

I read a newspaper article a few weeks back on the fishes that we are eating. The sources of fishes that we are eating might be fully exploited or over-fished. Hey, fishes do run out.

Found on the WWF web, a consumer guide to Sustainable Seafood.

Where to pick up a copy of the Singapore Seafood Guide:

• National Geographic Store
• Sentosa Nature Discovery
• Sinema
• Singapore Botanic Gardens
• SuperNature
• Wisma Atria
• WWF Singapore

So try to meat-out your meals as often as you can. I'm doing so too.

Random idea...Fan at ATM

So far the vote for which dress colour to get is:

2 blue
2 black
1 white

shall wait till next week then decide.

As for the random idea: Was withdrawing some cash for my dental appointment. The weather was hot. Singapore weather is ALWAYS hot.

Was thinking that ATMs should install fan tat blows at ur face when u stand infront of it. Perhaps the fan will be on when u r pressing on the buttons.

*press 1 *wind blow *0*wind blow * 0*wind blow *0*wind blow

and when the cash is rolling out, the fan speed is higher..... Imagine e wind in ur hair when u withdraw $$$$$.

*add on to wad i found online today. The Star Wars Imperial March song makes the video hilarious.

Nid ur help!...Which dress???

Thinking of getting this dress. SGD22.60.

White, Blue or Black???

News reported that Donnie Yen went...

to RWS.... then i saw some comments on a forum very funny...

At the entrance of RWS casino,

Wonder did he use wing chun to get pass the guards?

Did the guards beg him not to fight 10?

At the table...

Did he win 10 bags of rice???

Seriously, I think RWS should use him to promote instead of Mark Lee and Michelle. Can tie in with Universal Studio's Kung fu panda.

Switch?

I think i wanna switch over to Tumblr too....

or maybe not. I'm still happy with my KopiKorner. :D

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

With greetings from Singapore Kindness Movement.



Don't leave your mandarin orange skins around.

Alarming findings

Since i got time after lecture and no mood/inspiration to research for my disertation, i decided to tidy up my blog and do some CNY greeting with help from Singa lion. *see latest post above.

I logged on to nuffnang and cleared some stuff on my blog to get my glitterati status and monitor some stuff.

This feature is pretty useful. Now i can know where i land on google.

But this result is quite disturbing.



?¿?¿?¿?Does my blog talk about boobs?¿?¿?¿?


Then I spotted something alarming...

WHO IS STALKING ME?????!!!!!

Last semester!!!!

I know i have not blogged for a month. Some ppl are questioning me. Sorry la... busy with school. Taking 4modules is scary for an archi student.

- AR4104 Design -
- PF4204 PrjManagement -
- LSM1301 General Biology -
- MKT1003 Prin.Marketing -

On top of it, i got my dissertation to start on(outline by CNY) and 10 Guest Lecture review to hand in by April. Mammonth stuff!!!

This is my so-called last semester as an undergraduate in NUS, but this doesn't mean i'm FINISHED with school. I STILL have another year to go for my masters.

At the start of the year, our tutors treated us pizza after we presented on our Shanghai-China trip.
Yummy yummy.




DTS(Design Technology Studio) had a new old place. They renovated some com labs and combined space large enough for 4 studios. Bad point is, the sides are glass = Fish Tank. People always stare at us when they walk pass.

Busy start for 2010

Wow wow wow.... I've stepped into 2010 for Year 4 Semester TWO!

School suppose to start officially next week but i've already been going school for 3D Rhino lessons. Despite getting on my toes for CORS module bidding and school, i've spent my New year with a nice bunch of friends. ;-)


Hopefully 2010 will be a good year for me.
Be it sweet or sour like the chinese candy


or

Feast like a king!


All the best to all my readers. Here's something fun to watch from Truly Asia.
