CG realism.

At first look I couldnt tell. I mean come on take a really good look at the picture. What if I tell you that the beautiful women you see below is a computer-generated image of Korean actress Song Hye Kyo created by an Indonesian CG artist? To a trained eye, the one thing that gave this image away was the hair. If you ask me, I'd say its indistinguishable from reality. See how its done, click here.

NTU student survey.

Back when i was in school, I dreaded those survey cum feedback forms our teachers/lecturers gave for us to fill up to rate them for their teaching. Not that I mind doing it but can you imagine doing the same survey over and over again for not just one but for all the subject teachers you've got? Anyhows, this isnt got anything to do with me. Found this clip off youtube about this lecturer sharing feedbacks he got from his past students regarding his teaching. I say again, teaching. Its a lil long but its worth it! Funny stuff!

Well I took mine once and here are the results:
