title: Blades of glory?
time: 2:56 AM

My day started off with 2 tests, 1 during each lesson. For the first test, I'm glad I actually scored 76/100 even though I did not study for it at all but I got to admit, the test was rather easy. Well, I can't say the same for the next test. It was actually a soldering test, we had to solder 5 different resistors, some in parallel, some in series, onto a tiny board. And lucky me, my solder wasn't actually working properly so I had to share with Jun Jie. The outcome on the board was pretty satisfactory to me. So I left the class after I was done.

We were then supposed to watch Blades of Glory at Plaza Singapura at 9.50pm with Jun Kiat, Jiaren and Defu. The reason why we had to watch at such a late timeslot was because Jun Kiat and Defu only finished school at about 5pm while myself, Jun Jie and Jiaren knock off at around 1pm. Our lunch was at Macs and we soon decided to play Silkroad using Wireless@SG. Well, I have to say that the connection was not bad but sadly, my network card wasn't strong enough to keep holding on to it and thus, I kept getting disconnected.

We then had 10hours of LAN while waiting for Jun Kiat to arrive and during that 10hours, oh boy, did me, Jun Jie and Jiaren have a good time. Shouting and shouting, laughing and laughing. I nearly went bonkers! In fact, I lost my voice due to too much shouting but it was fun and I believe they enjoyed it just as much as I did. But sadly, we couldn't end the day on a high, Blades of Glory at Plaza Singapura was fully booked, we actually went down an hour earlier but we were still too late to get any seats, I guess everybody wanted to catch a movie and relax as it is a public holiday the next day. =|

Oh well, no movie? Never mind, after dinner, we ended up chatting for quite some time about our school work and everything. It's nice to catch up and mingle with them once in a while, get to know wath everybody is doing and stuff. After all, we've already been together for slightly more than 2 years now, some even 4 years. The Star Factory arcade was our next stop and we spent quite some time playing Outrun 2 with an Indonesian, I kinda recognised her accent when she told me,

"You're a good driver"
But my I shook my head and said,
"No"
She later then asked me,
"Are you all going to continue?"
My answer was,
"Yes"
But after 3 consecutive races with her, I said,
"You go ahead, we're stopping"

I'm suprised she said I was a good driver. I mean, come on, I'm just some average kid who's wasting money on the game but at least I'm still humble about it. Unlike some people who's head will just swell non-stop and get cocky after being praised. We played some Jungle Love thing game after that, me and Jiaren got a "Jungle Compatibilty" of 72%. Damn, we're meant to be. Haha! We then played the drums before some of us left. The night ended and I took 139 back, which took a whopping 20mins to arrive, home. I won't go into details but the majority of the fun was during the conversations we had, whether at the LAN shop or after eating. It was just fun =)

Frankly speaking, I doubt Americans are that stupid but watching this video and listening to their answers are just simply hilarious. Have a good laugh and relax, that is what life is all about, I guess.

title: Back to school
time: 9:53 PM

It was back to school for me today and suprisingly, I got up on time to be punctual for Programme Design my class at 10am. We had our first test since school started during Programme Design. I did well, scoring 70/100 marks but I could've got better. The last question, was worth 30marks and because of the lack of one "&" I couldn't run the whole programme and stupidly, I didn't spot the mistake until Jacky told me at the end of the test. Basket, 30 marks gone. Let bygones be bygones. Lol, my ass! Regret like shit for not seeing that.

CRS, aka. Critical Reasoning Skills aka. Damn Stupid Subject aka. Fucking Retard Lessons, was up next at 1pm and the teacher deducted 10% of my marks for not printing out my work. Nice teacher right? Oh well, then the rest of the CRS lesson was more or less just discussions with my group. We chose "Electronic games - Harmless or numbing, killing machines?" and obviously, my group's stand is that it is harmless. I suggested to do a survey with adults on this and we can use that information and maybe, just maybe, get more marks for such additional efforts. So, expect to see a new link sooner or later on a survey. Do participate in it if you see it. =)

Back home, the moment I got home, I spent almost 30 mins trying to get my ass into SRO(SilkRoad Online) and started training, the determination of me and Jiaren to get our characters to level up is just, astounding. Beacause of this, I'm proud to say that we have pushed our characters to around 34-36 in just a mere 2 weeks. That is definitely a new record of any of us. In the past, we used to take almost a month or 2 just to get to level 20. But the down side of this game is just the logging in part, it is really screwed up. So many people, so little servers and so little bandwidth avaiable for the servers. For example, my dear desperate friend took 1 hour to get into the game only to spend another 1 hour doing nothing in town. Haha!

Alright 10pm already, I'd be watching Wheeler Dealers with my Dad in half and hours time, so I got to get back to SRO to train. I've got a super hilarious video on Americans which I will post another day because I'm kinda rushing for time now. Until then, good bye!

title: New layout
time: 4:58 PM

Once again, a new layout for my blog. You might be wondering why Good Charlotte, well, this is actually one of the few bands that I listen most to. So, I figured a Good Charlotte layout would be nice. So here it is, hope you guys enjoy it. Comments on the layout or future layout suggestions are welcomed at the chatbox. Next up is a music player! Haha. Cheerios! =)

title: Champions League Final
time: 1:56 AM

Well, hello! It's been a long time since I've last updated which is actually quite usual. Anyway, today is a special day for both Liverpool and AC Milan fans, it's the Champions League Final! Some people might argue that it is going to be the same damn final as 2005. Well, let me tell you, you're damn right it is! But somehow, as a footballing fan, I'm going to stay up and watch the damn match even though I hate both teams. I mean, it's the final! Football aside, this week is actually my E-Learning week. Have I done my work yet? Of course not, it is only Thursday! I have Friday, Saturday and erm, Sunday left! Come to think of it, I think I should be starting on some soon.

You can't really blame me for not doing my work and stuff, I'm practically addicted to Silkroad! It's an MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, I think) game based on the olden days of China, thus the name, Silk road. My friend, Jiaren and I, practically grind everyday. Don't know why but the 2 of us somehow just want to level up day after day, hours after hours. Thats what I call determination man! But for all the wrong reasons. Haha.

In fact, that practically sums up my whole week! Haha, I'll leave you guys with a short clip of an upcoming game, Need for Speed 2008. A bit early planning by EA, eh?

If you see her in the market or anything, she ain't your ordinary Granny. She's a high level Mapler. If you see some high level player in Aquilla, she ain't your ordinary Mapler. She's a market Granny. The bottomline is, she owns and I believe all Grandmother's should follow suit =)

title: The Complete Seed
time: 10:37 PM

I've finally got it! My huge Crumpler bag. People who know me might have already seen that I own 1 but this time, I bought a bigger one. It's red in colour and I just love it! For the record, it costs $179. Haha. I'm a bit crazy right now, spending my Dad's hard earned money.

Well, for another record, my temporary crown dropped again! Damn it. The dental clinic is like my 2nd home these few days, it's horrifying to know that I spend almost 2 hours a week at the dental clinic doing something that the dentist screwed up time and time again. Pictures of my bag will be up soon, after i install the Nokia PC Suite for my phone. Which I procrastinated in doing since last week.

My eyes are getting smaller right now. Sooner or later I'd probably be dozing off on the keyboard. I've practically been playing Audition everyday nowadays because of Gordon and Jun Jie, all they do is play that. Well, as for Gordon, he can play nothing else at home. And I literally mean nothing else. While Jun Jie is love struck with some girl on Audition. Thus, going into Audition everyday is a must for him. So from these facts, we can conclude why I am being dragged into Audition day after day. Lovely, isn't it? Love is in the air. Haha!

Okay, fullstop. That's all for today and well, the past few days.
