38. Master of Mathematical Science Dinner

Went to Shabu-Shabu at Puchong with my course mates yesterday.
And I didn't take any photo because the food mah-mah dei only.
Not recommended. Lol.
Then we went to Setiawalk for second round to yumcha.
We discussed a lot of things about our past (what happened during our Master class), the present (what we are doing now) and the future (what/how will our career path gonna be)
Most of them probably will continue their PhD...others will heading to risk management field (like Gabriel and me), and some will going to statistics related field.
For next week, our result will be released and we are going to graduate.
Then we will have our convo few months later.
The journey for Master took longer but also seems shorter than I thought.
At the end, I quite ng sey tak a bit. Haha.

- No matter what happens, one day we gonna meet again like how fate bring us together in the first place-

37. Termite

Our house infected with termites quite badly... ceiling, stairs and some wood furniture. Don't know where the hell they came from. My parents sprayed some chemicals to kill those fucking termites few months ago. And here I thought I'm safe. Just now when I took out my comic book to read, only to realized some bugs crawling on and in it. Then I looked and checked my comic book carefully and....I saw a hole in it! WHAT A HORROR! DAMN!

No doubt, is termite. I prayed there is no giant nest behind my comic books. I took out all my comic books carefully to check. Wah lah...my beloved One Piece, Yugioh, Sarkas Karakuri and MAR Heaven all got a hole in it. Luckily out of hundreds comic books that I have, only a few have a hole. And luckily my Doraemon and Detective Conan remain untouched. But still tomorrow I need to check one by one.

THIS MEANS WAR! WHAT A GROUP OF BASTARDS! I GONNA KILL EACH OF YOU FOR REVENGE!

36. Infographic: Oil Palm

"There are primarily five types of visualization categories – time-series data, statistical distributions, maps, hierarchies, and networking."

-Infographic, Wikipedia

My first attempt to use infographic to represent time series data taken from Department of Statistics Malaysia. It looks too simple and uninteresting, but at least it is a good start.

Observing directly from the chart, it obviously shows an increasing trend  for the past thirty eight years from 1974 to 2012. Nothing much can say except it shows an increasing in total planted area of oil palm which influenced by government policy to export more palm oil to other countries in order to boost the economy. Palm oil is used in processed food and also as a butter substitute. Besides that, palm oil is used as bio diesel and napalm too.
