my life!

Shopping spree

2008-12-09T01:13:00.003+08:00

Got the wallet on sale at their Suntec City outlet on Sunday and bought a few more parts for my rig Today. My whole rig is almost coming together, just need that final CPU!

Holidays!

2008-12-06T00:42:00.003+08:00

Finally, what seemed like a long week has come to an end! My exams are over and let's not forget that Christmas is coming too. Well, Today's paper went superbly smooth to my surprise but I reckon it still doesn't make up for the horrible papers that I sat on Wednesday. I don't really feel like talking about that day anyway so yeah.

Enough about exams and everything, behold my long awaited HIS IceQ4! Time for me to catch up on some well-deserved sleep. I shall leave you guys with a picture of the card!

One down

2008-12-02T21:38:00.001+08:00

First test is officially over and I'm four tests away from a three week break! Well, nothing special happened except the fact that I was the last to enter the classroom and first to leave. Haha! We were allowed two attempts for the test but the computer would only save our second score. I finished my first attempt with 62 marks and knowing that I made a lot of guesses in the first attempt, I decided not to try my luck on the second attempt. I always believe that good things don't happen in succession. Get lucky and get out!

Shortly after, I had a nice McGriddles Meal at Shaw Plaza and headed home to grab some stuff before hopping into a taxi to Hougang to collect my Motherboard from a fellow forumer. It was actually my virgin trip to Hougang MRT and boy was the place far from my home. Ended up forking about $10 for the trip. Fucking expensive, no more taxi rides to Hougang for me! Instead of heading home after collecting my stuff, I took three MRT stops South and found myself in a Singapore Democratic Alliance area. In short, Chiam See Tong's area!

I spent the next few hours testing out Jun Jie's new rig including that stupid 22" monitor which got me a headache because of the unergonomic placement of the monitor and its ever bright settings.

Nothing much happened after I headed home and right now, I'm going to pick up my notes and start mugging for my three badly-timed papers tomorrow. Also notice how I tried to spell all the numbers in my entry except the stupid 62 which I was lazy to spell and still am right now. Part three of my rig below!

Long day

2008-11-30T04:06:00.004+08:00

What an exhausting day! I was scheduled to bring my PC over to my Uncle's place today and help him set up as he is the new owner but due to unforeseen circumstances, I did a whole lot more and that led to me reaching home just around an hour ago.

It was Saturday night and my friend, Jun Jie, was too excited to wait till Sunday to fix up his newly bought parts so I ended up agreeing to go to his place in the early afternoons on Saturday, the previous night. Had a rather good sleep and after having my lunch, I was off to the Chiam See Tong area! We waited for another friend for about an hour to turn up and then I started assembling. Before I knew it, it was almost 5pm and I had to make my way home to get my stuff ready to bring it over to my Uncle's place but thankfully, he came over, picked me up and dropped me home to get my stuff.

Without even catching much of a breath, I was off to his place. I started off slow but managed to finish it off quickly after dinner but then came the shocker, my Auntie wanted to remaining parts of my Uncle's old PC! She wanted me to transfer everything from the old casing to a newer one and combine some of the parts together. Without any manuals, I slowly removed everything bit by bit trying to remember my every move so that I will be able to repeat it in reverse on the other casing. I was unsuccessful in transferring some stuff but still managed to get it up and running.

I got a lift home from my Uncle and that was about all I did the whole day. Nothing but wirings, screwing, booting ups and configurations. I felt like a On-Site Technician for a moment but the only difference was that a Technician gets paid but not for me!

I'm extremely tired right now so I'm going to bed and will leave you guys with a picture of the official 2nd part of my rig which I purchased yesterday.

Guess what just arrived at my doorstep? My RAMs! That is officially the 1st part of my rig! My smile is literally from ear to ear

Sleepyhead

2008-11-26T19:02:00.002+08:00

Today is the 26th of November. 1 more day to SITEX 2008, 2 more days to Fifa Online 2 Open Beta, 3 more days to my entire PC being sold off, 6 more days to my first exam paper and lastly, 9 more days to the start of my 3 weeks holiday. This practically sums up the things that will be keeping my occupied for the next few days. Oh yes, I also forgot to add that along the course of these few days, I will be slowly buying parts by parts for my new PC which would be up and running before the holidays. Now that, is what I look forward to the most!

Enough of the future. Now to my past few days. Well, it all started a week ago on Friday when I spent lots of hours research on PC parts and ended up sleeping at 4am. The following day, I watched Man United play a goalless draw which ended at 3am. The result of sleeping so late for 2 consecutive days proved to be a real troublemaker for me these few days. I have been struggling to sleep on time at night and thus I have been waking up rather late everyday. 3rd day of the week and I have already missed around 3 lessons in the morning. A feat that I am extremely not proud of and my Mother is starting to see the bad side of things.

In order to make sure I don't make it 5 or hell, even 6, I will be forcing myself to get to bed at 10pm. Sounds a bit hard but I will try my best. Haha, so if you read this post today and still see me online after 10pm, you will know that I have failed in doing so.

Now it's time for me to head to the dinner table and savour my Mother's Bak Kut Teh which I haven't tasted in months! I'll leave everyone with a picture, that I found on their official site, of myself at Bugis' Virtualand during the Fifa Online 2 event

Fucking group projects

2008-11-18T23:06:00.003+08:00

Maybe I expect too much, maybe I'm the only one who actually cares about getting good grades but fucking one-liners, SMS lingo in power points?!

Screw you bastards! The only fucking reason why I can't get a peer evaluation on you guys is because the majority of the group are doing the same fucking thing and that's the only bloody reason you're not failing the project!

Tomorrow is the presentation and people submit slides that are:

White in background, black wordings. No pictures.
1 picture, 1 sentence.
Entire power point presentation in SMS lingo.

With all this bullshit sent to me on the night before presentation. Yes, my job is to compile it and make it look like a whole. But am I supposed to find pictures for your research? Finish your fucking 1 sentences? Rewriting your retarded SMS lingo words?

If I had my way, you mother fuckers will repeat this bloody module. Count your lucky stars that the majority of this group is made of fucktards like yourself. Say a word about the compilation being bad and I'll give you a blow dryer treatment on the spot

PS. I'm not referring to you JJ. In fact, thanks for helping me out

Goal!

2008-11-16T23:18:00.004+08:00

Okay, I just got home for Bugis Junction and I had quite a good time. I was actually heading there only because I wanted to get myself a pair of Havaiana sandals or Converse low cut shoes but since the Havaiana store isn't done with the renovating of their store, I wasn't able to even get a glimpse of their products. As for Converse, I guess I just didn't like to colours and patterns they had available on their shelves.

Since it was still early, my friends and I decided to head down to Virtualand to play kill some time before dinner. We ended up spending about 30mins watching people play the new Street Fighter IV which had awesome graphics and a somewhat nice gameplay. After getting tired, we notice a booth being set up just outside the LAN area. It was the IAHGames Fifa Online 2 event! The game is actually closed right now but will reopen on the 28th and thus they had this event as a warm-up for everyone.

It was almost 6pm and we were already bored so my friend went over to the booth and asked if we could register even though it's already the second day of the event. The organisers obliged and we got ourselves 3 hours each for free! Restricted from playing other games, the 3 of us spent the whole 3 hours grinding Fifa Online 2 for wins as there was a special prize for the Top 88 with the most wins. Time flew by while we were playing and before we realised, it was already 9pm and the even had ended. With our empty stomachs grumbling, we headed to Food Junction and got ourselves a well deserved late dinner before heading on to McDonalds for an ice-cream.

All in all, I had lots fun shouting and screaming at Bugis today and it was also a great way to end my weekend!

Fifteen November

2008-11-15T22:59:00.003+08:00

Blogging on a Saturday night. Some describe it as anti-social, some say I'm wasting the night. I say, who cares because I'm in a buying mood! Yes, for the past few days while helping my friend look out for PC parts, I have found myself deeply engrossed in upgrading mine too!

To kick start the upgrading, I was treated to a great surprise yesterday when my 1950Pro 256MB was ready for collection at the service centre after almost 2 months. Just getting the card back would make me contented but instead, I was given a 1950Pro 512MB because my old one was beyond repair. For those who really suck at math, that is double the RAM module. Not much difference in the clock speeds but it does have a higher memory to store more details on a multi texture surface, giving me more FPS. Getting this card back also means that I can sell away the spare one I bought 1 month ago. Anyone interested in a 7900GS Sonic? +1 to my upgrading!

For those who have seen my PC recently, you would have realised that I was missing a 80mm fan on my side panel. Well, the 1st fan I bought died on me a few months back but I was just too plain lazy to shop for a new one. Not this time round! After collecting my card yesterday, I went down to Sim Lim Square to get myself a perfect Blue LED and UV reactive fan. +2 to my upgrading!

Let's not forget, the CPU chip you saw in the previous post? I've ordered 1 online and should be ready for collection around next weekend. +3 to my upgrading! Although this purchase is going to make my wallet a whole lot thinner, I am determined to save up for another few parts. Mainly another graphic card, another terrabyte of storage and the list goes on! To be honest, the economy is bad and I must help the economy pick up by spending. Haha, really stupid logic that I have there.

Yikes, 10.55pm already. Time for some Manchester United football match. I haven't been a loyal fan recently because I'm really too tied up with a little schoolwork and a whole lot of games. So for now, goodbye!

Quantum of Quads?

2008-11-11T00:58:00.003+08:00

Last night, together with my Mom and Dad, I went to catch 007: Quantum Of Solace at GV VivoCity. It was actually the first time I was catching a movie at GV's VivoCity. I've heard so much about it, especially the GVMax which I specifically booked for that night. Upon entering the theatre, the first thing I looked out for was the screen. It was reported that GVMax had the largest screen in Asia boasting a length of 22m. Well, it did seem wide to me but the there was something else that got my attention. The leg room! I was able to stretch my leg all the way out when sitting upright. Now, that's what I call the perfect leg room and as usual, GV's arm rest could be lifted up to make room for some cosiness between you and your loved ones but not for me that night. Haha

I wish I could give the same compliments to the movie too but no. I will be downright honest about it. The movie, sucked really bad. I felt as though I was watching Daniel Craig play Jason Bourne, definitely not James Bond. Other than the car chase between an Alfa Remeo and an Aston Martin, everything felt so Bourne like. Numerous fight scenes with nothing but punching and slamming through windows. No Q to introduce cool and hi-technology weapons to Bond. Just 2 fists, 1 gun and 1 bitch running all over the world. If you still don't believe me, go catch the movie yourself. Haha, a total difference from those good 'ol Bond movies which had Pierce Brosnan, Sean Connery and Roger Moore. Actually, I only know these 3

You see this picture above? No prizes for guessing what model it is but generally, that is known as a Quad Core CPU. It is the brain of everything that is in the computer and that's the brain I want to get! It's compatible with my current board that only has a max FSB of 1066Mhz and I guess it suits my budget pretty well. $318 for a brand new one but I'm not looking for a new one. Instead, I'm looking for the L7 batch, B3 stepping and G0 revision. If you know what I'm talking about and have it, do let me know. I'm paying well!

Combo Breaker!

What the fuck, Glock?

2008-11-03T03:08:00.003+08:00

Fucking Timo Glock ran out of gas at the last corner and handed the Formula 1 World Championship to Lewis Hamilton.

I stayed up all night, until the last lap just to see this kind of bullshit happen. I am so disappointed. Well, not that I have money on Massa but I think he deserves it more than that cocky Black British

Ngee Ann City

2008-10-31T19:24:00.003+08:00

Okay, I'm so bored right now that I'm sitting on a bench on the 5th floor of Ngee Ann City blogging. As a matter of fact, I don't even know what I want to blog about today!

Well, as much as it kills me, I don't actually have a choice but to wait here because my auntie will be coming any time soon to sign her phone line and she has allowed me to use her line to get myself a new phone. That phone being an N95 8gb. Up until now, I still have not decided between the N85 and the N95 but I guess I'll just go with the N95 because it has been in the market for quite sometime now and proves to be rather stable. Nokia has a knack of releasing phones with crappy and buggy firmware all the time. That was what exactly happened to my N73. I bought it during it's first week of release and around 8 months later, it gave me hell. The phone showed messages telling me my inbox was full when I only had 10 messages in it and it restarted as and when it liked.

All I can hope for is that the N95 doesn't turn out the same way. Yikes, looks like my laptop's battery is running dead. No power supply nearby so I guess I'll have to stop now. Adios amigos!

Smile!

2008-10-28T17:19:00.004+08:00

This video is dedicated to my dearest sister in Australia. Whatever shit that may happen abroad that brings you down or makes you sad, just watch this video and smile! Take care, looking forward to seeing you in December!

Oh yeah, the girl at 1:40 is cute =)

1st MC

2008-10-20T16:56:00.001+08:00

It has been exactly 1 week since school started and I have already taken my 1st MC! I think that's a new personal record. Well, for those who can't be bothered to know what happened, you've got no choice because I'm going to blog about it anyway!

2 days back on Saturday, I attended my auntie's house warming party. My eldest cousin took out a bottle of vodka and the both of us drank almost 3/4 of the bottle. I was still sober and during the process, I accidentally ate a few bits of prawns which happened to be in the Japanese croquette my auntie prepared (It was damn delicious).
Well, some might know that I'm allergic to prawns and when I eat them, a few hours later, something like mosquito bites will start appearing on my skin and it will itch.

This time though, something different happened. When I reached home and watched Man United trash West Brom 4-0, my back started to feel really hot and itchy but when I looked at it in the mirror, there were nothing that looked like mosquito bites. Just huge red spots all over that felt really warm. I thought it was just the allergy acting up differently so I decided to sleep it off but I was wrong, it was worst! The itch, redness and warmth started spreading to the sides of my body and even until slightly above my butt crack. I went to my family doctor the next day and he told me that it was the alcohol and prawns that mixed up and caused some reactions in my body.

Nevertheless, I'm grateful for this experience for 3 reasons (Yes, only 3. I'm an easy person to please):

I didn't have to go to school today
I got to try my auntie's cooking (It's only the 2nd time I've visited her home, both old and new)
I tried a new Vodka flavour which I find rather tasteful

I've also noticed that I am starting to use a lot of brackets in my sentences lately. Oh well, all's well and I will be back in school tomorrow so yeah, that's all folks!

Belated Day 3

2008-10-04T04:13:00.001+08:00

Well, it has been days since the F1 Singapore GP has ended but I wasn't able to blog about it because I was rather busy with the touch ups for my room. There's a saying that goes, "Better late than never" so here we go!

Let's see, nothing spectacular (Other than a man getting heart attack at Marina Square and causing a huge human jam at Gate 7) happened on Day 2 so I'll move on to Day 3. My Dad, his colleagues, and I all wore our Panasonic Toyota shirts to give our support to Timo Glock and Jarno Trulli who were 8th and 11th respectively. Needless to say, they didn't win the race but Glock came in 5th and Trulli leaded the race for a few laps and it was those laps that I had the most fun. Everytime Trulli drove past our grandstand, the 5 of us would jump out our seats, start waving our huge Toyota flag and start shouting, "Toyota! Toyota! Whoo!" and proceed to sit down when it gets out of sight. One of my Dad's colleague even came out of his seat, ran around our section and shouted, "Tomorrow buy Toyota!"

Although almost everybody were rooting for either a McLaren or Ferrari, we managed to get some cheers and supporters with us just for the fun of it. At one part, a group of British guys actually tapped my shoulder and told me, "They haven't pitted, it won't last long" and he was right. We knew that Trulli had to pit sooner or later and lose his position but we still stood up and shouted everytime he drove past. Trulli lead the race for about 6 laps and when he came out of the pits to re-enter at 8th position, the British spoke to me again saying, "Told ya, it's over" and I gave him a big smile and said, "Well, I enjoyed it while it lasted". He then took his beer in his hand, raised it up and said cheers. I responded by taking my Ice Mountain bottle and knocked it against his cup and we drank.

I have to say that I really had a lot fun during those laps. Going so wild and crazy with my Dad and his colleagues. There was also can incident when my Dad's colleague clashed with a Ferrari supporter. The guy said, "Why support Toyota man, always last!" and my Dad's colleague replied, "I support Toyota because I drive Toyota! You drive Ferrari? If not, why support?" The guy was shocked and just gave a slight grin and walked away. It was hilarious. Totally dominated.

Those were the highlights of my Day 3 at the Singapore GP but nonetheless, I enjoyed every moment as I really got to spend quality time with my Dad for 3 whole days. A very good job to Singapore for making it such a glorious event but fuck you for increasing electricity bills by 22%!

Singapore GP Day 1

2008-09-27T02:07:00.001+08:00

Ah, finally the end of Day 1 of the world's first night race, the Singapore GP. I'm totally exhausted after walking from Gate 7 to Gate 1 in the afternoon sun with my Dad just to see what the F1 Village has to offer. Well, they had dedicated BMW, Ferrari, McLaren and Toyota booths which boasts of many pretty saleswomen and really expensive merchandises. I was rather tempted to get a shirt from BMW but decided to give it a more thorough thinking before committing a whopping $200 for a shirt.

Okay now to the main point for the day, if you ever decide to get tickets to the race. Be it tomorrow, day after or next year. Never, I repeat, never ever get the Bay Grandstand tickets. The view totally sucks, especially the Dark Blue section. Sadly, those were my tickets and throughout the practice race today, I could only see the cars for about 5-6 seconds each as the straight was only around 300-450m long and the turns going in and out of the straight was blocked by the stupid layout of the grandstand. Since I walked around and saw quite a few grandstands, I will have to say the best is the Marina Grandstand. For $698, you'll get to see the car charging down from the Esplanade straight and into a series of turns. Together with a television display just across the road, it's definitely the best seat you can get for less than $1000. I'll most probably get those next year. With that, I can say that although I really liked the atmosphere and sound during the race, the view really disappointed me. Here's a few pictures taken with my Dad's camera. I'm too lazy to upload mine because they are huge in file size.

I'll be there around 4pm tomorrow and if anybody wants to meet up with me, just drop me a message. I'm always around Gate 7. Cheers!

20 days

2008-09-22T22:58:00.001+08:00

What a joke. In my last blog post, I stated that I will talk more about my week on the next day but it actually took me 20 days to finally do it. Now, that's massive procrastination. Now let me try and recall what I wanted to say 20 days earlier.

Well, 20 days earlier, I was out of a job after I got screwed over by my supervisor. You see, I was hired by OCBC Bank to help with some software installations for some of their PCs in the OCBC Centre at Raffles. I was told it was a 7 day job and was to start on Thursday all through to Friday excluding weekends. Myself and two other friends were hired. During the application, I told them that I would not be able to work on the first Friday as I had my Math 2B paper and they agreed and I was to work 6 days. We were briefed about our tasks on the first day and went on to do a really speedy and good job leaving my supervisor rather surprised. Little did we know that this was more of a project, which meant that once we were done with it, they didn't need us anymore. 2nd day of work and I was sitting for my exams in school while the two of them were busy at the offices. Then, I got a call. My friend informed me that we didn't have to go to work anymore because we already completed the tasks that we had to do.

This triggered to a whole lot of chain reactions. I wasn't able to go work with my other friends because I already turned their job offer down for this, which paid better and was nearer to my home, and they already had enough staff at their side. That left me with no other job offers while my friends had. This also meant that every time we wanted to hang out, we could only go on Friday nights so that the "working people" won't be too tired for work the next day.

I was so bored that I actually decided to do a makeover for my room. So for the past 20 days, I've been doing nothing much. I'm either at home playing Silkroad Online or I'm out with Jiaren looking for his Japanese dolls or looking at furnitures. I've more or less decided to get all my furniture from Ikea even though they're not exactly very cheap when compared to others but I just like their wide range of products that can be customized to fit my needs.

Anyway, with the help of a few of my friends. My room has been completely repainted to Stonecave Grey and White. A combination that suits my window grills, and floor rather well and I'm very happy. Pictures will be up when everything has been completed with the furniture.

Before I end this mega post, I'd like to give a shout out to Jiaren, Gwee and Jun Jie for helping me with the painting for 2 whole days, Thank You guys! I owe everyone beer and I promise, it'd be top-notch beer

Let the holidays begin!

2008-09-02T00:30:00.002+08:00

It has been some time since I last updated, as usual. I just came back from Anchor Point a few hours ago and I finally found the shop that the forumers have been talking about these few days and got myself a really nice and unique deck of cards.

Will blog more about my week tomorrow. Quite tired now. So, off to bed!

17 August

2008-08-17T01:51:00.002+08:00

Well, I have been so caught up with school work lately that I don't even have anything interesting to blog about. Normally, I like to name the title something that stands out the most in an entry. Thus, the title for today's blog entry is 17 August.

Now, let me do a recap on why I was so caught up with school work lately. First off, I had a report of around two thousand words to submit which I rushed on the last day although my lecturer did inform us 15 weeks earlier. When I think back, 15 weeks was actually the start of school and I dragged and procrastinated until the very last day. Well, you know bad habits die hard.

The other school work that caught me up was a server mini project. We had to set up a fresh copy of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server Core 2008 with Vista and XP as clients. We were also the first batch of students doing it so not much help from the seniors or past year mini projects. I have to say, it was quite difficult but I had a lot of fun overall. Well, this also had a report that needed to be submitted and as usual, I waited till the very last day to get it done. This report was really a killer. We had to make it like a tutorial for new users and that required super a lot of thinking to make it idiot proof to understand.

At the end of the day, I wouldn't have been so caught up with work if I had a million dollars because I could quit school and jump straight into business or professional poker! You might be thinking why talk about a million dollars all of a sudden? That's because I heard a song, Ji Pa Ban, being played today and I just couldn't stop laughing and I asked myself what I would have done if I had that million dollars.

I'm trying to get the mp3 version and I'll upload it here as soon as I get my hands on it but meanwhile, here's the lyrics:

Nah sih gua uh ji pa ban, ji pa ban,

July Babies

2008-07-22T20:03:00.003+08:00

Well, the month of July is not even over but there have already been quite a number of birthdays. One which was particularly important to me, was my Dad's birthday. Being the sole breadwinner of the house, he has been working tirelessly for tons of years and one of the things he likes to do to relax is a good game of golf. Since I was pretty much richer this time round compared to his previous birthday, I decided to go All-In, a term used in Poker to throw all your chips in for a bet, getting him golf gear. I know my Dad visits my blog once in a blue moon because it was in his laptop's address bar once and he has almost remembered this URL, so I won't state how much. Well, he's 54 now and he definitely deserves more than these gear but with time, I'll strive hard to give him what he truly deserves!

Also, a quick shout out to all the other July babies which include Jiaren, Defu, Gwee, Angel, Mastura and Gordon! My bad if I missed anyone out. Happy Birthday people, you're 18 now. Go fuck around, it's legal! Haha. Cheerios!

Back to Silkroad Online!

2008-07-06T23:44:00.003+08:00

Yes people, although I said that I have severed all ties with Silkroad Online (SRO), I'm back at it again! Thanks to Diablo 3! You might ask, why Diablo 3? After watching the full trailer of the game. I felt that even though the graphics was somewhat near the standards of SRO, I still liked the characters and skills of SRO. I sort of dislike the monster like characters of Diablo 3 but I have no idea why I'm okay with Warcraft 3. Haha, a bit contradicting but who cares? I will be at Neptune together with Jiaren, Gwee and a lot more to come! Cheers!

2008-06-30T22:07:00.001+08:00

I came across this really cute picture of a cat and a rubix cube and I thought I'd share it with you guys. Especially since there are a lot of Rubix Cube fanboys out there who might probably say the same thing in the picture when they see one. Seeing so many teens holding one on the MRT, I sometimes wonder if it's just for show. Because the way they twist it, like anyhow whack only. Well, I'm not saying everyone is, just referring to a tad few

Transformers!

2008-06-29T00:01:00.005+08:00

After going to the Singapore Toy & Comic Convention at Suntec moments earlier, I found this video of Transformers. Really damn cool! The starting 13 seconds has nothing, just hang on

Wasted $2

2008-06-25T20:27:00.002+08:00

My entry today will be more of a rant more than anything else. What else to rant about other than McDonald's new Green Tea McFlurry! First off, I did not order that junk but the lady at the counter just so happened to assume I wanted the "new" and "tasty" flavour while I was trying to make up my mind. I went like, "Hmmm, green tea" and she turned around and started dispensing the ice-cream. At first, I thought she was just getting ready the Vanilla ice-cream which is necessary for both the Oreo and the Green Tea. Then she started twisting that thing which dumped the little flakes on Green Tea onto the Vanilla and I told her that I haven't decided yet and she was stunned and gave me that "You already ordered look" so I was like, what the heck. Just pay the money and try it out.

Try it out, I did. I must say, it sucks! Haha, the Green Tea tastes and smells a lot like Earl Grey Tea and not surprisingly, I threw mine away and went back to get a Oreo McFlurry from the same lady =)

I'm 18 Now!

2008-06-23T17:58:00.003+08:00

Although my Dad wasn't in Singapore for my birthday yesterday, I have to say, I had quite a great time after all. I had lunch and played LAN with a couple of friends before heading to Sim Lim and then back to my place for dinner and cake cutting. It might sound very routine but I still had fun. Haha, what I liked most about the day was collecting my birthday present (from myself) at Sim Lim after ordering it from the US a few days ago. It weighed in about 4kg each and 8kg in total and I lugged it back home by taxi. Here's a few pictures, if you're wondering what it is

Yes. These are poker chips and they are made of pure clay composite. Good stuff! I got myself 2 sets and maybe I will get myself a Poker Table when I'm 21. Happy Birthday to me!

21st June

2008-06-21T15:14:00.003+08:00

It's the eve of my birthday and I'm sitting at home, blogging. Sounds stupid? Yes, it is stupid and I know it's stupid but these type of things happen when your friends. Erm, what's that word. Oh well, I guess this just happens when your friends are really busy

New Layout!

2008-06-19T16:17:00.005+08:00

Okay, after screwing up my own layout or template, whatever you call it, I've managed to find the free time to change it to another! I'm not exactly busy at the moment, it's actually my holidays but I just have other more important things to attend to rather than a measly blog like Euro 08 and studies (cough)! Yes, my exams are approaching and like always, I am not exactly prepared for it but I will be, soon. I must strive for a better future! That is such a bullshit, model student stereotype of an answer. Not that it's wrong but can't it at least be a bit less tardy? That phrase was the exact phrase I heard at my sister's graduation ceremony by some "model student" and I was totally disgusted. Haha, I know I'm mean

Enough of blogging, it's almost time for me to help prepare the ingredients for dinner. Yes, I cook! For those who have been in contact with me will know that I'm always busy helping out in the kitchen during the evenings. So if any of you guys want to taste my culinary skills, hell no! They're only for my loved ones. Hehe =)

Holidays!

2008-05-31T11:44:00.004+08:00

After yesterday's horrendous PC workshop. My school term has finally come to an end to my delight. 3 weeks of pure resting although interruptions in between are inevitable and also the fact that my mid-year papers start after that, I'm looking forward to the 3 weeks! Haha.

Really sad that me and my friends couldn't agree on a trip to Malaysia over the holidays but I guess I was just hoping for too much. Anyway, Euro 2008 is coming, I didn't subscribe to it and my fingers are itching to start punting. Okay, enough about the holidays. Let me do a recap of my past 7 weeks.

Now, as I always keep track of my attendance myself, so that I can skip that 25% attendance to the full extent, I have currently skipped 15 classes to date and not a single warning letter! Yes, I know, I'm getting good at this after 1 good solid semester of practicing it.

School aside, my bank balances have taken an all-time low this year after going on a spending spree on stuff which I find necessary but others find unnecessary. Haha! The United jersey below, set me back around $130 including shipping charges from the UK and a Braun Buffel wallet, that I can't find a picture of, which costs around the same as the jersey and a few little things here and there that brought the total sky high. With all these said, my budget for a new quad rig has been tightened tremendously and I really do not wish to take money from my parents. They've given me enough per month and I find it wrong to ask for more. So I guess that those people who can't wait to see my Watercooling/Quad setup during the holidays, will have to wait =)

With all these said, it's time for me to stop blogging and get ready for a brand new Saturday and maybe a brand new blog layout. I shall leave you with a picture of my jersey that sent me into recession!

Busy Me!

2008-04-26T00:15:00.002+08:00

I've been so busy this few weeks, that I haven't blogged in what, a month? Of course there are really nice stuff to blog about after so long but then, it wouldn't really be right if I was blogging about stuff a month ago. So I guess I'll just let it slip past. Busy with what, you might ask. Well, to be honest. I'm actually spending a whole lot of time coding and developing our PhatMS private server. When I say our I mean Jiaren, Jun Jie, myself and of course, who can forget Jun Kiat who does ever so well in not appearing when needed. Haha!

Oh yeah, and for those wannabes out there who think that it's just some easy copy and paste shit, you can jolly well think again because I'm sure that you can never do something as good as us in the next few years or maybe even your lifetime. I'm not trying to be cocky, an ass or anything. I just get really extremely superbly (watch how much I emphasized) pissed off when I tell someone I'm spending most of my time on a private server and they give me arrogant remarks like, "Lol. No big deal what, spend so much time for what?" or "I can hack it anytime. Be careful" just to name a few. Let me tell you this, if you think you're going to say something like that to me, keep it to yourself because when you do, you just took a podium place on my "Dumb Motherfuckers" list.

I guess this huge rant on wannabes is worthy of an entry for today. So yeah, there you have it. Enjoy the weekends =)

Super ID

2008-04-06T15:43:00.003+08:00

I just saw this over at Gizmodo.com and I couldn't help but post it here. His name is hilarious! His IC number is sort of photoshopped away so no worries, I guess.

Hilarious stuff aside, I've been rather busy lately with the setting up of a MapleStory private server with my friends and not to forget, I accidentally formatted my 750gb. So blogging is not really a top priority, although it never was, for me right now. Nevertheless, if I catch something funny or nice, I'll share it with you guys.

Blogging Blues

2008-03-19T01:12:00.002+08:00

I haven't blogged in what, 1 month? Haha, sometimes I wonder why I started a blog if I don't even regularly update it. It's a waste of domain space! Erm, thats all? Lately, quite a lot of interesting things have been happening to me but I have to say, I'm really too busy with OdinMS currently so I'm not exactly very free to blog. So until then, goodbye! =)

IT Show 2008

2008-03-07T01:02:00.003+08:00

The first show of the year and boy am I busy. Not that I am working there but I have a lot of stuff to get, check and do there. All not only for myself but also for my friends and relatives. Sounds busier than working there. Haha, thats partially the reason why I've not been blogging. Like I said partially, the other reason why I wasn't blogging was the same old reason. I'm purely lazy. Cheers! I've actually bought a whole lot of things and took some pictures of it(Yes. I like to take pictures of my hardware and not myself). Will post them up as soon as I'm not lazy.

Lately, there is this guy, an ex-schoolmate of mine who has been constantly bombarding me with questions about a girl that was my classmate before. Well, obviously, he is interested in her but still does not want to admit. I mean for godsake, you suddenly ask me if she is attached or not, in what, the middle of the night? Weirdo. But since he was formerly my schoolmate, I answered him with stupid answers such as, "She's dead" to make him bug off but to no avail. Well, as I respect the girl's privacy so I didn't really give out any details about her, not that I know any.

Anyway, I'm actually about to meet this girl soon for a movie so what I'm going to do is take a photo of her and stamp the freaking date on it and make that ex-schoolmate of mine go nuts. I can't wait to see his reaction, or not. When I was typing that sentence, my conscience sort of bugged me. Haha, damn! Let's just hope we have a good time.

The girl's name was not mentioned to protect her privacy. Haha, sounds so CIA right. Nice!

Toilet Break

2008-02-29T17:49:00.000+08:00

I have to say, it was photoshopped pretty well. Toilet break!

Who Let The JI Out?

2008-02-28T01:25:00.001+08:00

"The leader of the Singapore Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) network, Mas Selamat Kastari, escaped from the Whitley Road detention centre at about 4.05 pm on Wednesday, said the Ministry of Home Affairs in a statement.

A massive manhunt is underway to track down the escaped detainee, who walks with a limp.

'He is not known to be armed. Extensive police resources have been deployed to track him down,' said the ministry statement.

The public is asked to contact the police at 999 if they know of his whereabouts."

No downloads

2008-02-27T21:02:00.002+08:00

I did it! I managed to control myself and let my account rest for today. Which means it's down to 10gb for 2 days, that's manageable! So off I go to WonderKing because I promised Jiaren that I will get my ass to 30 by today.

Rapidshare

2008-02-26T12:51:00.002+08:00

It hasn't even been 24hours since I last signed up and I've already hit an astonishing 13gb. I have a strong feeling that I'm going to burst the 25gb per 5days limit allowed. Nevertheless, I am extremely happy with it and I'd say that this is one of the smartest move I've made in ages. Checkmate! Full of benefits for a low price. Haha, for those who have no idea what I'm talking about, go figure!

Right now as I speak, I'm using RSM to get the whole of Grey's Anatomy Season 3. Total of 25 episodes, each episode has 4 files, each file going at approximately 200kb/s. It's amazing, seriously. It's going to be done in no time! Haha =)

60 hours awake

2008-02-24T21:12:00.002+08:00

Okay. I just reached home and I am extremely exhausted. I haven't slept in approximately 60 hours. I went out for LAN on Saturday, watched a midnight Death Note movie, crashed at Jun Jie's place until the next morning, went for the Singapore Airshow momments later and went to Starhub immediately after that. Phew, am I glad to see my bed. The last time I slept was it was actually Friday night! Sounds so way back then.

Enough of blogging, I seriously need to go and catch some snooze. Cheerios, people!

Meet The Spartans

2008-02-22T21:57:00.002+08:00

Okay, I've just finished watching Meet The Spartans and it is extremely hilarious! Like Epic Movie, the whole show was filled with spoofs of past blockbuster movies and tv series which included Stomp The Yard, Ugly Betty, Spiderman 3, Heroes and alot more! If you have the time, this show might just be the one that will tingle your funny bones!

Movies aside, Jun Jie and I have finally complete Defu's rig about 2 days ago and all I have to say is that I'm very pleased that we managed to get everything up and running despite quite a few problems we encountered. One of the main problems we faced was the Biostar Motherboard's 8pin adapter and the temperature of the AMD chipset. Nevertheless, we overcomed it and handed it over to Defu, who is extremely happy and thanked us. For that, you're welcome. I'll upload the pictures as soon as my sister is done with the camera.

Lastly, I was wondering if any of you guys might have any suggestions for a phone. My contract is expiring and being a HubClub member, I got a $100 voucher from Starhub that I can use to purchase my phone so together with my N73, I should be able to deduct about $350-$400 for the phone with contract. So keep the suggestions coming, Thanks!

Bad horses

2008-02-16T23:22:00.002+08:00

I don't know why but I just had to post this. Several people have told me not to gamble, say certain stuff or whatever because I was born in the year of the horse. Well, it definitely is going pretty smooth for me so far. As the saying goes, so far so good!

Yes. This post might be rather irrelevant but I'm doing my best to update everyday. Haha

Finally, something to do!

2008-02-15T23:04:00.003+08:00

Thank you, Defu! Thanks for giving me something to do during the holidays! Haha, although at most, it will only take me a week but at least I'll be kept occupied. For those who have no idea what he asked me to do. Well, he asked me to build a new PC or what I call, a rig, for him as his current one has gone bonkers.

This task will be on top of my priority list for the coming weeks and it also gives me a real reason to head down to SLS to get some stuff for my Dad and Uncle which I have procrastinated about for a long time. So for all those out there who wants a new PC, have some extra cash but have no idea who to ask, come to me! I'll welcome you with open arms.

If you're wondering, I didn't charge Defu any fees and neither will I charge anyone else who comes to me.

I'm going to call it, Project DR. Not DR as in Divine Rapier but DR as in Defu's Rig and I will update the stuff and pictures here. =)

Late 20s

2008-02-14T15:44:00.003+08:00

Okay, crunch time. According to my grandmother, she is already in her late 20s. That means the age gap is going to be about, let's say, 10? She probably has her career carved out by now while I've yet to complete Poly and NS. She probably has a more mature mind than me which renders me immature. So I guess this is the end of the line but hey, we could still be friends! That is, if we meet again.

On a lighter note, Hong Ling just told me about the Death Note Marathon going on at Plaza Singapura or Great World City. It's on the 22nd of Feb, I might not be able to make it but just let me know if you're interested. I'll see what I can do and maybe organize a get together. Cheers!

By the way, I just found the perfect song in my library to describe her. Obviously by McFly. Check out "Sing Along" for the lyrics. =)

Lunar New Year

2008-02-07T23:32:00.001+08:00

So it's the first day of the Lunar New Year and I've decided to blog a little since I'm back home early after some damn tiring travelling from East to West just to visit my relatives. To be really honest, this is one of the best CNY's I've had so far, excluding the stupid jam on PIE today which I will talk about later. It wasn't the collection of Ang Baos that made me like this CNY. It's the fact that I am already 18 and that my relatives now regard me more as a young adult rather than a teenager which meant that I could drink away without having to worry that someone my say, "Aiyo, so young only, learn how to drink so much." In which, someone really did say to me last year.

Being somewhat 18 also meant that I could join in my uncles' for Poker. Something in which I really wanted to try a few years back but they said that I was too young and it involed a lot of money, so I wasn't allowed to play with them. I think that they just didn't like the fact that they would lose to a kid in a serious and strategic game of cards but well, it was different this year. I joined in and during the time in which I was playing Poker at the table, it was one of the most tensed situation I have been in a mere card game. The Ante was only $1 but the way they upped and followed, it just blew me away. Nevertheless, I hung on, played hard and manage to bag myself quite alot. How much? That, I would not state. If I do, people who read this might come up to me asking me for a treat and yes, I am stingy, so revealing is a no no. Haha

Schedule wise, I am extremely tight for the next few days so playing a game of DotA, which is important to me, might not even seem possible, sadly. =\

Today, like everyone else, I had to visit both sides of my relatives but not like everyone else, I had a reporting time this morning! I had to get my ass out of bed at 8am so that I could reach their place at 9am to do all the exchanging of oranges and eating of Mee Sua and all that shit. 8am is actually extremely early for me to get up but like I said previously, it was well worth it. After all the gambling and rambling, we set off to my other sides' place for dinner at around 4pm and that was when I started to get pissed. By normal standards, we were scheduled to reach in an hour but somehow, the stupid PIE had to be jammed all the way from Simei all the way down to Kallang and it was my sister who was driving, which meant that the ride was going to be jerky, knowing that she always break hard and sort of last minute. So we decided to get out of the jam by exiting at Eunos Link only to be greeted by another jam at Ubi. We endured through that one and got ourselves all the way up to Ang Moh Kio only to be jammed again at Avenue 1. It was only after almost 2 full hours before we got out of the car and into the house.

Okay, it is like 11.30pm right now and I guess I'm going to knock off soon to get some much needed rest so that I can help out with tomorrow's gathering at my place. I'd probably blog again tomorrow if I have the time. Why the urgency? You might be wondering. Because I can't wait to blog about this girl that I saw at my relative's place today. She was one of the pretty ladies that I saw at the wedding dinner at Marina Mandarin the other night. Technically, I am not related to her but because my grandmother had an itchy mouth long time ago, when my parents weren'y even born, she is my God-cousin whom I've only met twice but hey, God-something doesn't mean I can't look!

MMO

2008-02-02T15:08:00.000+08:00

Someone introduce a nice MMORPG for me to play so I can kill my time at home! It's only the 2nd day of my holidays and I'm going to die of boredom already. To be exact, I have 10 weeks left. Shit!

Revamp

2008-01-25T23:59:00.000+08:00

Well, although my current template is at most, a week old, I'm going to make some changes to make it more viewable on IE. The text warping is disgusting on IE.

DE Paper

2008-01-22T15:11:00.001+08:00

Okay, tomorrow is the start of my exams. Although the weightage isn't that much, around 10-20%, it is still the most major exam on the calendar. I start off with Digital Electronics tomorrow followed by another 2. I don't want to lie to myself but I know that I'm going to fail my papers but somehow my subconscious is telling me that I don't need to study and that everything will be alright. So yes, I'm not studying at all. Maybe, just maybe, I'll burn the midnight oil tonight for a little studying on the bed and maybe, that might help.

I know it doesn't concern most of people our age but as I type, the Straits Times Index, also known as STI, is actually falling and falling, just like a small waterfall. It dropped by 6% yesterday and so far, a further 2-3% right now and it's not only Singapore's shares that are dropping. The same goes for other countries. Well, I might not be Nostradamus but I think there might be train delays tomorrow, people are going to jump!

Wedding Blues?

2008-01-20T16:59:00.000+08:00

Well, last night was quite a night for me. I attended a wedding dinner, Auntie Jessie's daughter's wedding to be exact. Altough I had no idea who the bride and the groom was, I went for the wedding because I heard it was at Marina Mandarin which actually means that good food will be served. Haha!

To be honest, I was quite disappointed with the food. It wasn't really good at all but like what my uncle said, such high class hotels don't get guests because of their good food or chefs. They get guests because of their hotel name but the place was nice though. So people, if you want to hold a wedding with bad food and nice surroundings, go Marina Mandarin, located just beside Marina Square! There is 1 thing I got to admit though, the dinner was filled with pretty ladies! Haha, thats because the bride and the groom were quite a young couple and they both had big families so many of their cousins and friends turned up, all around my age! Had a good time looking too. Wahahaha

New Year

2008-01-16T21:58:00.000+08:00

This might be a little late but I have to put something in here for 2008. If not, this blog is going to look as if it is dead, which it actually is. So, Happy New Year!

SP EEE Dota Champions!

2007-12-13T11:00:00.000+08:00

Last night. My team and I, Zuzunators, were crowned "School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Dota Champions of 2007"

Well, all I can say is that everyone in Zuzunators played well and deserved the win. Kudos to all of you! I'm still kinda tired right now after everything last night so I'll blog about the whole experience later. Probably with more photos

Shadow of the Day

2007-11-21T00:19:00.000+08:00

For those who have not heard the song, let alone know the song. I am practically in love with it ever since I heard it at the concert a few days back. I actually hum the tune when I'm sitting for my test papers in school, it's that nice! Here are the lyrics, I'll upload the song another day when I'm free. It's exam week now, busy busy me

Shadow of the Day by Linkin Park:

I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes goodbye's the only way

And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

And the shadow of day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you

Go, go Linkin Park! =)

In school

2007-11-15T09:35:00.000+08:00

Okay. Here I am sitting on the steps of T16 waiting for my friends and teachers to come to class. Well, I'm not exactly early for school but I am definitely early for class. I skipped the 1st lesson at 8am due to several reasons and now, like I said, I'm sitting on the steps beside my classroom waiting for the class to start at 10am.

It has been a long while since I last updated my blog, mainly due to my packed schedule. This schedule, sadly, does not include any school work. If you're wondering what I'm so busy with, some people might be able to guess that it is nothing but games!

I started a new Silkroad character a few days back and I've been mugging on it whenever time permits. Unlike my previous characters, which I did not farm much SP, I would be targeting at least a total of 90k worth of SP. If any of you guys still want to join me, I'm on Odin and my IGN is FlamingLoti. I'll help you as much as I can if you come over. Haha =)

Silkroad might not be the only thing that is keeping me busy. I am also currently part of 2 Dota teams, a team for the GXL, D|sB4nD and another team for the schools' competitions, WFS and in total, I have 1 on-going league tournament, the GXL and 2 school competitions. So quite obviously, most of my time is spent on training with my fellow teammates. I'd be lying if I said that my Dota-ing is going as smoothly as my Silkroad. I'm actually 1 of the 2 experienced members of WFS and it is really taking it's toll on me. The other members have very little or no experience whatsoever and I find it exceptionally hard to communicate with them, especially when they think they're always right and do not wish to heed my advice. People who play Dota often with me know that I take the game extremely seriously. Doing stupid things like engaging at the wrong time and not playing their roles right, really pisses me off.

Alright, lesson is starting soon and I doubt I will have enough time to complete my rants on my teammates and stuff so I guess I will just end everything here. Off I go for Programming lesson! Tata! =)

New layout!

2007-10-20T14:53:00.000+08:00

After procrastinating for quite sometime, I have officially changed my blog layout. It isn't exactly idiot proof, so don't get angry at yourself if you can't navigate around my blog. =)

The only bad thing about this layout is the blog part. After searching blog, you'd be taken to all my blog posts but you'll see the oldest entry first because it automatically brings the page down after searching. Which means that people have to actually scroll up to read the newer posts rather than the traditional scrolling down. Oh well, every good thing comes with a price, sadly.

United away kit

2007-10-14T18:51:00.000+08:00

Damn nice lah, I want!

Superman

2007-09-28T20:35:00.000+08:00

I wonder when Wei "Superman" Da is going to do this during a lecture. I'm patiently waiting =P

School

2007-09-26T22:53:00.001+08:00

Like everyone else in SP, holidays has ended while everyone else is enjoying theirs. Total bullshit. It's like, while you're listening to that stupid lecturer in class, your friend probably snoozing and dripping saliva all over his pillow or in a worst case scenario, your friend is mugging Silkroad! Leveling a stupid Dagger/Rogue is so damn difficult and boring although the benefits are in the later stages, why can't they just slightly better at the start? Oh well, I suppose all these game developers knows best. Haha.

Anyway, For the past few days, when I daydream, I start to realise that I'm missing a thing or two in life. Although I hate to say that my wife can practically fill in all those stuff that I'm missing once in a while, I can't rely on it to keep me entertained and busy all day and night. I will die! If you're wondering who is my wife and why I call it an "it" instead of her or God knows, him, I am actually refering to the thing I am typing on right now. My PC and yes, I can never have sexual intercourse or and intimate relationship with it but I still love it. Love is not all about sex. Haha, or is it? I don't know.

This is a rubbish issue to blog about, especially with the gay society trying to legalise gay sex. Muahaha, dream on fuckers, as long as Lee Hsien Loong is hanging around, ain't no gay sex is going to be legalised, bitches! Okay, just to clarify this, I'm against the "Gay Agenda" in Singapore. Some of you might know what this agenda is, some of you might not but I'm so totally against it. Like fullstop. I mean, it is so not right. Don't you think so? Haha, God made Adam and Eve, a male and female. So that they can reproduce and carry on until this generation. God didn't create Adam and a gay guy, did he?

Okay, back to where I felt that something is missing. Erm, yeah. I just feel as though something is missing in my life right now. Maybe it's a human companion, maybe it's friendship. There is a whole lot of maybe(s) to consider and for sure, I have no idea which. Well, probably life is just like that. You can never have the whole piece of cake to yourself. Something will always be missing, be it the toppings or a few slices.

Almost 11pm already, looks like I got to head for bed soon. All because of the stupid 8am lessons that I'll be having for the rest of the semester but it's alright. I will endure! I guess.

Here's a song by Enrique Iglesias to end this post. Cheerios!

Backache

2007-09-19T21:25:00.000+08:00

Apparently, I have no been updating my blog for ages. Maybe I don't feel like sharing anything online or maybe I'm just lazy. Most probably, it's the latter. Anyway, the chalet just ended about 12 hours. For some, they still felt the previous one was better while others said this time round was. Well, different people, different opinions but all in all I hope everyone had a good time. As the host, I guess is it my responsible that everything went well. I reckon that the only complications this time round, was the costs. I ended up paying an additional $26, which brought my total expenditure for the chalet at a whopping $58 which of course nobody knew. Haha. Oh well, once in a while only. Can lah =)

Okay, right now I'm waiting for DotaSg.com to send me a e-mail verification for my account so that I can download the replay of the CAPL Elite Category. I wonder what is taking them so long. Never mind, the longer they take, the longer I'm going to blog, I guess.

I guess not! Haha, that's all for today. Tata!

Dota

2007-08-28T02:39:00.000+08:00

Just finished a game of Dota and I am super high! The game was so hyped from start to the end, and The Scourge actually won! I always had this thinking that unless friends, the people on Scourge are either super newbies or leavers.

The Sentinel was a group of 5 friends and Scourge consisted of me and 4 other people. They picked Juggernaut, Potm, Beastmaster, Orge Magi and SF while we picked DK, BB, Tinker, AM and I randomed a Bounty. They started off really well with Orge and BM catching helpless people like Tinker and myself. We even lost half of our middle rax during midgame all beacause of a lack of defending on everybody's part. Nevertheless, we managed to slowly fight our way back by trying very hard to control the lanes and farm up. Our BB upped his Radiance, Heart, Vanguard and we were all set to barge down their middle rax to no avail with at least 2 heroes per side dying at each engagement. The cycle went back and forth for quite some time until Sentinels decided to split up and push. Although we employed a different strategy, it worked. Instead of splitting up to defend the seperate lanes, we defended in groups of 5, which is practically everyone. Seeing us defend that way, The Sentinel actually changed their strategy and rushed into our mid, which had no towers. They then went on to bottom and took down our tower and 2 raxes but we didn't let them have it without a fight. We actually managed to kill 4 of them. 4 raxes down, any team would have typed "GG" but we didn't. As all of us were alive, BB and DK rushed to top lane to take down their tower and rax with Juggernaut harassing but the thickness and both their lives managed to ward off Juggernaut in his attempts to stop them. Meanwhile, me and Tinker frantically pushed bottom lane back out, by then, BB and DK had already proceeded to middle lane for the raxes. The whole team gathered at bottom lane tower and we took everything down in one last breathe and all of us got cleared. They decided to give up, so we all teleported down and cleared the Tree.

The whole game lasted almost 2 hours. Definitely worth wasting 1/12 of my day. Sill on the topic of Dota, I actually managed to find myself a team for the upcoming CAPL Season in October. I'm not sure if I'll last all the way with the team because who knows, some uber player might just come along and take my spot in the team. Haha, I haven't really played an actual draft match with them yet but I hope it will turn out fine. It is like 2.40am right now, time for me to snooze for tomorrow, I will go on a search for the nicest Mugs for Mrs Tan and Thiru! For Teacher's Day, of course.

Math 1(B) is tomorrow!

2007-08-22T23:24:00.000+08:00

Okay, it is 11.30pm now and my A Math paper begins in around 10hours time and I haven't started studying or practicing anything that has to do with Math. I don't know why but I keep getting this feeling that I'm defintely going to fail. Die.

I can't sleep

2007-08-22T02:21:00.000+08:00

Something is wrong with me. I can't fall asleep almost every night! Haha, I actually woke up, turned on my computer and here I am right now!

9 year-old wonder

2007-08-03T20:25:00.000+08:00

For those of you who had read the newspapers, Manchester United has just signed a 9 year-old boy. You might be thinking, is United nuts? At first I thought they were going crazy after the Carlos Tevez thing and not being able to get him and stuff that led them to sign a 9 year-old but boy was I wrong. Here is the video clip that Rhain Davis' grandfather sent to the United youth staff. Enjoy, this lad is so damn good.

We won!

2007-07-25T21:04:00.000+08:00

The Benchwarmers. Yeah man! We won our 4-a-side soccer match today! It is actually a street soccer tournament organised by the EEE Club in my school. Well, you might be wondering how we won. Let me tell you a secret, it was a walkover! Haha, we won because the opponent didn't turn up. Not the most convincing of wins but hey, it still counts! This actually means that we get to go back on Saturday for some real action and this time, I hope we get some.

Oh yeah, check out some of these freaking beautiful churches in St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City!

More pictures in my coming entries. Alright, I'm out! =)

Orchard library

2007-07-16T17:49:00.000+08:00

Here I am, sitting in the library blogging about a Monday. As usual, I went to school at 10am in the morning to attend my Programme Design class and it was soon followed by CRS. That was the last lesson for the day and it ended at 3pm. While at the MRT station, my classmate asked me to join them for a 4v4-a-side soccer tournament which will be held on the 25th of July this month. Well, I haven't really touched a soccer ball in almost a few months and knowing my size, I'm more or less going to let the team down. Haha

Birthdays galore

2007-07-13T14:20:00.000+08:00

Once again, it's Friday! Weekends are coming up and it's a great opportunity to take a quick breather from school. Anyway, as I type right now, it is actually Jiaren's Birthday! Happy Birthday, dude! That is if you actually even read my blog. Haha. The same goes out to Angel, Defu and Jun Kiat, who's Birthday all happen to fall in the month of July. Birthdays aside, I've been sleeping rather early these few days and I'm very glad that I can be like normal people who sleep at night and wake up in the morning although not everybody who sleeps late is like abnormal. Different people have their ways but the majority is always sleep early.

Harry Potter premiered yesterday and according to some of my forum friends, the movie did not live up to it's expectations but who cares? The title itself draws a crowd and that explains why I haven't watched it yet but there is also another reason. Well, that's because I promised a friend whom I haven't seen 5 months, Angel, that we would catch the movie together! On the other hand, I also said I would watch the show with the guys. So lucky me, Angel agreed to let the guys tag along and the guys, well, didn't mind. But so far, we have not been able to find a date where everybody is free due to the stupid 1st year Polytechnic and ITE time tables.

I guess that's more or less what's on my mind right now. So off I go to my games and bye bye blog! =)

Dim Sum Dollies

2007-07-09T00:07:00.000+08:00

I went to watch the Dim Sum Dollies at the Esplanade today and boy, it was a hell of a show! Super hilarious show. It starred Hossan Leong, Pam Oei, Selena Tan and Emma Yong. All great comedians. The show is actually something like a musical on the history of Singapore. The funniest part to me was the part where they were trying to make fun of Lee Kuan Yew but could not use his name because it would probably be a case of slander. So they used words like, special LEE, happy LEE, lucky LEE, a lot of those!

They practically made fun of everything from Ghandi to Spice Girls. Simply great! A must see for those who like comedic stuff. Check out their site HERE

Live Earth

2007-07-07T16:09:00.000+08:00

Today is the 7th! Which means that I haven't blogged for about 10days. Never mind, that is extremely normal of me to hardly blog.

Talking about the 7th, today is actually the date for the "Live Earth", some of you may know what it is and as expected, the majority won't until they're told. Don't you guys believe in watching the news or reading the newspapers? Anyway, frankly, I can't wait for the concert to begin. I mean, celebrities from all over the world gathering at different locatons across the globe to perform concerts to raise awareness of global warming. The last time something like that happened was Live 8, a few years but at that time, I didn't know how to appreciate such stuff. So now I'm all geared up to watch the concert for 24hours.

For more information about the concerts, you can visit HERE for all the information you need. It is actually going to be broadcasted on Channel 5 but I realised that they are still showing the 9.30pm news so viewers won't exactly get 24hours. Same goes for people going down to Plaza Singapura to catch the broadcast, I heard that they will be showing Channel 5. Haha, so unless you don't have a TV set at home (Super highly unlikely), you can head down and watch Live Earth with other people who don't have TV sets at home. Haha, in fact, it is starting in about 2.5hours time. Do remember to catch it!

Another link on Live Earth, but this time, it is a link to actually watch Live Earth online. HERE

Alright, off I go to my CRS project. Tata =)

2007-06-29T17:07:00.000+08:00

It's "More than meets the eye!"

Haha, that is actually the tagline for the movie Transformers. I watched it yesterday and the movie, other than the playback hitch, was great! I'm going off right now, so I'll update about the movie later on. So I'll leave with some facts about the show.

Recap

2007-06-23T23:32:00.000+08:00

The past few blog posts have been rather short so I'll try my best to be long winded for this post. Okay, my MST(Mid Sememester Test) is going to start in 2 days time and I haven't studied one single bit. I'm super fed up at myself for that. You see, we were given 2 weeks of holiday to study for these tests and I told myself that I have to set aside at least 1-3 days to study but for the 2 bloody weeks, all I've been doing is just playing. Not only have I procrastinated heavily but I also lied to myself time and time again. There's a very high chance that I'm going to fail all my tests. Man, this sucks. I'm left with 1 day excluding today, to study and I'm not going to waste my last chance to pull up my grades, I hope.

Studying aside, my wishlist has changed dramatically. I figured that getting another graphic card, the HD2900XT, was not necessary as I've already got a X1950PRO which up till now, is sufficient for my usage. Also, to grind endlessly on silkroad isn't really possible right now as all my friends have stopped playing and you know, the feeling of playing alone totally sucks so the determination to level isn't really there. After all, it is because of Jiaren which lead to where my FlamingLoti is today.

Games aside, I've already got quite a few people messaging me and asking me what I did for my birthday. Well, this year was special. Within the first hour of my birthday at 1am, Jasper started making weird sounds and vomitted all over the place. At first, we all thought he just ate something bad for dinner and hence, the vomitting but when he started licking every single part of the house, we knew something wasn't right. According to my sister, if a dog keeps licking stuff non-stop, it's actually a sign of discomfort. So we called an animal hospital, Mount Pleasant Hospital, at Stevens Road. Together with Jasper, we drove down at around 1.30am and got a doctor to attend to him. After answering Dr. Brian Li's questions, I don't know why I remember this China guy's name, we watched Dr. Li put a thermometer into Jasper's ass and boy, the sight of it was awful and Jasper hated it so much that I think he wept. Well, the thermometer went on to conclude that my dog had fever and because the fever wasn't the reasons for his vomitting and stuff, Jasper had to go for an X-ray. I couldn't go into the radiation room with them because the room was restricted to people above 18. How nice. Especially on my 17th birthday and 17 is like a mature or older age and I can't even enter a stupid radiation room. Bullshit. Consultation was $150 and that brought the total medical bill to a staggering $244, double bullshit!

Reached home at about 2.30am and went on to play stupid Warcraft 3 maps with Jia Heng until around 3.45am before hitting the sack. While trying to sleep, I could hear Jasper licking the floor again and again, that poor thing. So I went out and tried to pat him to sleep but to no avail.

Well, if you're wondering what I was doing on my birthday, there you go! Haha, although that is only the early part of the day. The rest was just doing plain normal stuff at home. Alright, every blog post has to have an end. Cheerios!

Happy Birthday

2007-06-22T13:38:00.000+08:00

Haha, Happy 17th Birthday to me! =)

2007-06-13T00:23:00.000+08:00

Just a short Mr Bean video for you guys. It's not an old video, do watch it. It's funny. Buffering takes quite long though. Enjoy =)

We Believe

2007-06-06T16:01:00.000+08:00

First of all, before I begin blogging or anything. I would like to thank those who have signed up with EmailCashPro under me whether you joined through the forums or through this blog. Thanks a lot, don't forget to get your friends to join under you =)

Okay, back to blogging. Recently, for some reason or another. The front page news is always about someone dying. The world's population is getting lesser and lesser, not drastically but it is still decreasing. People dying from tree branches, fallen tress, drowning. The list is endless.

Although I don't know them. Condolences to the victim and victim's family. May God bless them and their family in time to come. Thus, I've uploaded this song and in my own blog, I'd like to dedicate this song to them and for others to listen to.

Lenovo Y400

2007-06-03T18:57:00.000+08:00

After a long wait, I've finally got my laptop and it's a Lenovo! Frankly speaking, I have never owned any IBM or Lenovo products so I'm not very sure about this laptop but hey, the price was reasonable, the specifications were good and I was tempted. End of story. Here are some pictures of the laptop that I found on the internet, I can't get into Photobucket, as usual, so I won't be uploading any of the pictures I took of my laptop

The specifications of the laptop are as follows:

Lenovo Y400
Intel Core2Duo T5500 (1.66GHz)
1GB Ram
120GB SATA HDD
nVidia GeForce Go 7300
14.1" Widescreen
Dual Layer Multiburner
IEEE 1394/Bluetooth/3-in-1 Card Reader/2X1.5W Speakers with Chamber, 2W Subwoofer
Windows Vista Home Basic
1-year warranty

At only $1499. Isn't it a steal for that price? Haha, I don't know about you but I think it's quite a bang for buck. In addition, I think the exterior is rather nice and sleek. Something that other brands offered but not within my budget. For the record, my budget was $1500, I saved 1 dollar! Now, if I used a Credit Card, I would've blasted over my budget beacuse of the 2% extra charge. Thankfully, I don't have one. =P

After purchasing the laptop, I did a "Lucky Dip" at the Lenovo booth hoping to win an Ipod Shuffle which was "Ball 1" but unluckily I picked up "Ball 4" and guess what, I had the option of choosing between a MapleStory starter pack or a WoW starter pack. The thought of MapleStroy's installation CD flashed into my mind as the starter pack so I decided to pick the WoW starter pack and boy, was I suprised with what was inside. First of all, they gave me a laptop carrier, which I so wanted, together with WoW and Burning Crusade CDs. Those 2 are worth at least $100, I think. I can't imagine what I will get if I chose the MapleStory starter pack, I'd probably get the free installation CD that can be taken at PCBunk. Phew, so for that, I consider myself lucky. Yeah, right! =D

Last but not least, I have to comment on that stupid salesperson at Lenovo. Well, he told me that he was from Temasek Poly and I didn't really care but that didn't matter. First of all, he kept on telling me how many of this and that he sold the previous day and that I should buy it too. I mean, if other people buy that piece of junk, I'm supposed to buy it too. He was desperate but so what? Secondly, when I asked him about the Front Side Buses(FSB) of the chips, he just smiled and said that all the specifications were written there. Maybe it was too hard but why couldn't he ask his colleague? They're like super free. Obviously, I only ask questions about stuff that aren't in the brochure. So why the hell is he asking me to look at it? Seeing how desperate he was, I took pity on him and bought from him. Which meant he got the commission and he was damn happy. Haha, indirectly, I just made someone's day. I don't really hate him but I just wished he took the effort to know what he was selling rather than making a fool of himself in front of me.

Okay man, that should be all for today. I need to start downloading some school softwares so I can use the laptop for tomorrow's lesson. May my Lenovo live long! Tata!

Spelling Quiz

2007-06-02T01:34:00.000+08:00

CNN Spelling Quiz

Haha, go try out this CNN Spelling Bee Quiz, not exactly easy and not exactly hard. Although the words are totally foreign to me. I scored 7/10. All the best to those who are going go try! =)

Blades of glory?

2007-05-31T02:56:00.001+08:00

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 =)

Americans

2007-05-29T23:46:00.000+08:00

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.

Back to school

2007-05-28T21:53:00.001+08:00

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!

New layout

2007-05-24T16:58:00.000+08:00

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! =)

Champions League Final

2007-05-24T01:56:00.000+08:00

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 =)

The Complete Seed

2007-05-03T22:37:00.001+08:00

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.

Die Starhub

2007-04-29T15:22:00.001+08:00

It has been 3 days and counting and Starhub hasn't been doing anything about their shit loaded internet connections. It's always the same old error, Network Cable Unplugged. I mean, come on lah, my wires corroded out of a sudden? My internet wires come out and go back in again? If it is just my PC, I can bear with it but even my sister is complaining about it. She practically can't download anything from the internet.

This coming week is going to be rather busy which some people don't believe for whatever the reason. Out of the 5 weekdays, I gotta see the bloody dentist again for my crowned tooth, meet up with the guys for Spidey 3, send my ever so sick Toshiba laptop for servicing at God knows which part of Kallang and pick a day to stay at home while the air condition people come service my room's air-con which is sadly, spoilt since last week. Last but not least, I gotta meet Angel. 5 days, 5 tasks, I don't even get to enjoy Labour Day man!

I actually felt like blogging more today but I just don't have the mood or feel like doing it right now. So, cheerios

The call

2007-04-17T16:15:00.001+08:00

It has been 2 days since Poly started and I'm starting to get used to waking up super early for the 8am and 10am classes which I totally hate. I adapt fast eh? Haha. Anyway, what pleases me is that my lecturers are quite nice and friendly towards everyone, I find that utterly important when attending school.

Today went rather well for me. Before going to Bintan for golf, my Dad gave me a lift to Lavender so that I could take a direct train to Dover, he couldn't really send me directly to school because it was out of the way. The ferry was somewhere at Tanah Merah, anyway, thanks Dad! Upon reaching Dover, I met Gordon and we waited for Jun Jie before going on our quest to search for T6, which means Block 6. It was kinda far from the MRT station and quite deep in but we still managed to turn up before the lecturer did. =)

Lesson on Electrical and blah blah was freaking boring until the end when we started learning about Binary numbers. Haha, super fun to count. Next up was another Electrical and blah blah tutorial which I found quite interesting with all the prefixes and stuff involved. Well, according to our timetable, we weren't supposed to have any breaks but our lecturer let us out early because we sort of like had nothing else to do. So that was when I went to the library and borrowed the movie "i-Spy" starring Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson. I don't know why but I'm really in to shows starred by Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn and Will Ferrall. Sometimes the shows are really stupid but I still find it funny, I don't know why. Haha

Math lesson followed up at 11.30am and boy was it interesting. A few of my classmates ended up sleeping while some of us, including me and Jun Jie, decided to turn on our laptops to surf the internet or play games. His lesson was super boring, he thought well but it was just that whatever he thought, we learnt it in Sec 3 before and we still remember it extremely clearly. His lesson was relatively useless. The best part comes after all this, I took a train stop down to Clementi to collect my NFS: Carbon which I bought from a fellow forumer at only $35! Collector's Edition somemore! Hehe, then the 3 of us headed down to Bugis for lunch and I got scammed by the stupid, bloody fucking Indian Chapati man, he sold me a plate of white rice, some yellowish vegetables, a chicken drumstick and lamb rendang for $8.50! Bloody bangalah, I don't know why I didn't reason it out with him, maybe beacause he was too black and terrifying so I stupidly paid the amount and ate that piece of junk. Beware you retarded Indian Mama, I'll chop you into rendang the next time you quote me $8.50. And to top it all off, while running for the 145 bus at the Bugis bus stop, Singapore Post called me! At first, I thought I heard Singapore Pools but he repeated himself after I "Huh?" super loudly thinking why the hell SG Pools would call me. He told me that my Windows Vista has arrived and he could send it over tomorrow between 9am-1pm and of course, I agreed. Now isn't that a lovely day?

A picture of my Dad and I at Bangkok. Hope you have a good game of golf at Bintan, Dad! =)

6 days

2007-04-13T19:59:00.001+08:00

For the past 2 weeks, I've been away from home during the middle of the week, so much that there is a new hump on the road near my home. Haha, not really significant but it just shows how long I wasn't around. Anyway, I got to admit, both trips, one to Bangkok and the other to NSRCC's chalet, was really fun and nice.

Bangkok
Hmmm. My family and I actually decided to go there mainly because we wanted to go abroad for a holiday and somewhere cheap. So, viola! We went to Bangkok. We checked ourselves in at the Novotel Hotel in the heart of Siam Square, within walking distance to numerous shopping centres, which is why we practically shopped like crazy and I really mean crazy. We had 3 lugages when we boarded the flight towards Bangkok and we came back with 5. 2 more lugages filled with shit, rock on! Okay, recap lesson. What did I buy? Hmmm, okay. I bought 10 DVDs, 1 Billabong boarding shorts, 1 Bathing Ape hoodie, 1 USB ventilator, 1 iPod Nano silicon case and 1 really cute can opener. Not forgetting the 1000baht I spent buying Gordon's Warcraft 3 discs and the stupid 500baht on dental because my temporary crown came off. All in all, I spend about 4000baht which after converting, is about $173. Money well spent! Well, other than the shopping, my family and I did go Mango crazy and practically ate their Mangos for dessert for almost every meal. In addition, my sister and I did go for a swim on the last day at the bean sized swimming pool at the hotel. Overall the trip was great but I have to say, it was kinda ruined by SIA. On our way there, we had either the chicken or fish to choose from and when my Mother tasted the fish, it totally sucked and was barely even fresh. If that wasn't bad enough, on our way back, the games were not working and I couldn't play my mahjong game. Well, SIA, maybe you could upgrade your consoles to like a PS3 or something and get a decent chef, not those hawker centre types. Damn it

NSRCC Bungalow.
Well well, if it isn't the long awaited chalet. Why long awaited? Haha, I was actually asked to open a chalet for quite some time already but as usual, I procrastinated and procrastinated but after my family's own chalet at the exact same place, I decided that maybe it'd be fun after all and so, just before I left for Bangkok, I asked my Mother to get it booked for the following week. Organising, planning and getting people was more or less a great disappointment because help was really hard to find and. I shall not go on, it's over. So to hell with the past! Gordon, Defu and I, together with my Mother, took a taxi down on the first day to check in and everyone else started pouring in about 30mins later. Great attendance on the first day and the BBQ. Haha, actually, great attendance for both days! We were all kept occupied with the PS2's soccer, wrestling and mahjong until about 6pm when they started the BBQ. In between, a few of us also went down to the basketball court for some games whiched resulted in me having a aching right arm. BBQ wise, I believe everyone ate to their full and we continued the mahjong and PS2 until some of them left for the last shuttle bus at 10.30pm. The rest of the girls clear out at about 1.30am and it was all the guys that were left. We opened a bottle Vodka and went on with our mahjong until the Man United game started. It ended with a 7-1 scoreline and 3 of us awake. Haha, the rest stoned off halfway and went upstairs to get their sleep. I didn't manage to sleep much because of Gordon and Ziliang's "Surround Sound" snoring, so I sleep at the ever-so cold living room. Morning came and Jiaren and Defu were the first 2 to get up and Jiaren went off to make his breakfast, some instant noodles. The both of them wasted no time and started with the PS2 which eventually woke me up. Gordon was up next and due to the lack of players for a mahjong game, Jun Jie was dragged out of bed to join us. Mahjong continued and slowly 1 by 1 the rest came down. With empty no food in our tummy, except Jiaren, we left for the street soccer court for a match. It was scorching hot and tiring that the 8 of us present couldn't last the full 1 hour that we booked the court for. So it was back to the Bungalow and more mahjong and PS2. All of us were suffering from dehydration and the lack of food, so we ordered 4 Canadian Pizzas and 1 bottle, I repeat, 1 bottle of Green Tea to feed the 10 of us. No complains about the pizzas but Jia Heng, why 1 bottle? After eating and drinking, guess what? Back to mahjong and PS2! Angel and Ping Yuan came later on and brought us gold! They brought the ever-so important additional charcoal and drinks. Life savers, literally and it was Wednesday! Haha. the shirt. Then it was BBQ time, this time, it was the Girls vs Boys for food. Haha, okay, we underestimated everyone's eating appetite and bought too little BBQ foodstuffs. So it was Jia Heng, Zhen Yang, Yi Cong vs Meihui, Shushen and Ying Xuan. We didn't have any winner but everyone got to eat, I suppose. Then like a routine, it was back to mahjong and PS2. The girls and some guys left earlier this time round and it was back to the guys, wine and last but not least, mahjong and PS2. Yi Cong brought the 300 DVD so the guys watched the movie while I washed the dishes. They're so evil right? Nah, I volunteered and I soon realised that volunteering is a definite no no. The next morning, we checked out at 9.45am and waited for the first shuttle bus at 10.15am, we sat there for 1/2 hour and we missed it! Haha, we power. The had "Parkway Parade" stickers on it, so we thought it wasn't the bus we were waiting for but we were so god damn wrong. So we played cards at the shuttle bus stop for 1 1/2 hours before the same fucking bus came back again. We alighted at Tanah Merah MRT, Yi Cong went to play Survivor in the forest while Zhen Yang and Jun Jie waited for him and the rest of us, half dead, took a taxi home

Who let the dogs out?

2007-04-09T03:18:00.001+08:00

I'm back in Singapore after a few days in Bangkok. And boy, did I do a lot of shopping. Haha, more about Bangkok later. Here is actually a video that I took of my dog before I went to Bangkok but I didn't have time to upload it the other time. So here it is, I personally think it's cute. Enjoy! =)

My dear SP

2007-03-30T23:25:00.001+08:00

For the past 2 days, I've practically been waking up at 6.30am and making errands here and there at the West side of Singapore, namely, Redhill and Dover. Well, on Thursday, I was requested by Singapore Poly to head down to their Enrollment Centre and get my student card done and so I did. The card making process only lasted for like 5mins but there were a whole lot of shit that awaited me after that. I entered rooms after room, from SP Student Union to Community & Social Services and in those rooms, they just persuaded me, non-stop, to join their camps. They had the FO Camp, the EEE Camp, the blah camp and the blah blah camp. It was total crap, and just when I thought it was all over, there was an Expo like CCA Fair going on. All in all, I ended up joining Campers Crusade, a Christian group in SP, the Sports & Recreational Club and suprisingly, Dragonboat. Haha

And that wasn't all for Thursday, Gordon went to buy his laptop after that while Daniel came to collect his. Both took ages to get their stuff done and over with, which led to my arrival at my Father's office only at 5.45pm, a total of 10 hours at my future school. My Father and I then headed to Tiong Bahru Plaze to join my Mother and Sister for dinner at The Grill, which serves really sucky western and pasta. I'm never going back there to have a meal, ever. Enough about Thursday, let's talk about the shit that I had to go through today!

Same time, 8am, I was at SP but this time, I wasn't requested to go down, it was compulsary. I had to bring my laptop down to SP to get the software bundles and patches for XP Pro, also known as Self Certification. Upon arrival, I was asked to take a seat at one of the tables and follow the Instruction Manual, the manual was 84pages thick and it stated every single process that had to be done. Just by taking a quick browse at the content page, I saw the words Partition, Format, Update, Patch. Upgrade, Run, CMD. I knew I'd practically spend my whole day there and yes, I did! I could've finished earlier but I encountered some connection problems with their LAN cable and I had to add in my own static IP address, which the SP students helped me with and failed miserably time after time and this led to the lecturer dealing with my laptop in the end. The students wasted like 30mins asking around, I think SP should get better help next time.

SP stuff aside, SilkRoad is really pissing me off, the damn servers are always crowded and logging in seems almost impossible at night, pure bullshit. I'm currently really bored because there isn't and MMORPG for me to play, so it's either Audition or Warcraft 3 for me and boy am I getting sick of the latter. Anyway, anybody needs anything from Bangkok? I'll be heading there this Tuesday and will be back 2 days later. Leave me an SMS if you guys want anything. Haven't seen much media these few days so I won't be uploading anything today. Off to my Prison Break episode 21 I guess. By the way, if anyone is looking for me tomorrow, I'll be at ICA Building renewing my passport. Haha, maybe I'll hang out after that. Haha, tata!

I can't sleep

2007-03-19T04:46:00.000+08:00

Look at the time, I still can't sleep. Am I suffering from insomnia? Haha. Well, since I can't really get my eyes shut, I might as well blog a little about today.

Okay, to start the day off. I woke up at 10am today and joined my family for breakfast. Mother made sausages, ham and eggs with bread. A typical western breakfast, it was delicious. Food aside, my Father and I then sat in the living hall a 11am to catch the live telecast of the Melbourne Grand Prix. Kimi Raikkonen won and I'm glad he did because I'm a Kimi fan! I used to support him when he was driving for McClaren but ever since Montoya has gone, my love for F1 has sort of died off. Nevertheless, I am still on Kimi Raikkonen's side although he drives for Ferrari which I kinda dislike.

Because of the lack of sleep the previous night, I took a "quick" afternoon nap after the F1 GP, little did I know that I slept for a long 4hours! When I got up, it was already 4pm+ and I started my computer and got a few games of DotA in before I left for dinner. Together with my Father and Mother, we headed to Vivo City, what memories I had there, for dinner. We ate at Marche and boy, was the place really small and crampy. As for the food they served, as usual, it was top notch. You guys can go patronise it if you're around there. It's on level 3

Alright then, I guess I'll stop here, the monitor is very glaring especially when all the lights are off. I'm literally straining my eyes but thats good, it make my eyes tired. Haha. Off I go! Good morning!

Dentist woes

2007-03-17T01:59:00.000+08:00

I have got it done and over with, alright man! If you're wondering what I have done. Well, I went to the dentist today and going to this dentist of mine has never been a looking forward thing for me. Why? First of all, I don't really take care of my teeth very well. Which means, when I visit him, Dr. Lee, he'll give me an earful. Secondly, I chipped on of my front tooth in 2001 and until now, it has always been giving me problems and it hurts to actually get it treated. Anyway, that aside. I did my Root Canal last year in October. Basically, a Root Canal is a process whereby the nerves of a tooth is removed when it is dead to prevent delay in the gums. At that time I thought that this Root Canal thingy was all I had to do with that dumb tooth of mine but little did I know I had to do Crowning. Which is the god damn reason why I had to go through so much pain today.

I was at the dentist for a smacking 2hours! Just lying there, seeing nothing but the stupid light shining into my mouth. And everytime he pulls out all those weird and sharp looking tools of his, it is just nerve wrecking. Sounds fun eh? 2hours of thriller. He did numb my upper gum before the whole procedure started but he had to do it twice. Which meant that the thingy that he jabbed into my gums weren't even strong enough in the first place. So like I said, lucky me, I could feel what the hell he was doing most of the time. He practically filed off my tooth lah! Want to see the picture?

So after the 2hours went by. I was glad it was all over and I would be entitled the privellege to never see him again but boy, was I wrong. He actually only placed a template. Which means, I've gotta go back for more. Lucky me eh?! To top it all off, I couldn't eat my dinner because he said not to touch food or water for 2hours. It started at 6.30pm and ended at 8.30pm. So after adding 2hours, 10.30pm, I had no appetite whatsoever. Right at this moment as I blog, I'm hungry! =)

Okay, after much thought. I guess I'll just post the picture of my half filed away tooth. While Dr. Lee went to get something, I managed to whip out my phone and take a picture of it. So pardon me for the clarity, I did in a rush because if that nutcase saw me, he'd probably give me an earful again. He's an evil dentist. Viewer discretion is advised. Haha

And lastly, why is MSN down? I guess I know what it stands for after all, MSN = Microsoft's Sucky Network. Good night and take care, people!

Newbies

2007-03-13T23:27:00.001+08:00

Woke up at 9am today man! So early. I guess my body is used to it already. For the past few days, I kept waking up at 8.45am in order not to be late for work. It was 9am, so the normal thing to do was to go back to sleep. And you're damn right I did that. Finally got my ass out of bed at 12pm to meet Gordon at 1.20pm and the rest at Funan at 2pm. Today was all about timing. Having to do this and that by then and there.

Anyway, the main purpose of me going to Funan was actually to get my keyboard and mouse but for everyone else, it was to watch the Funan Inter-School Gaming Challenge. The first team that I watched at the "Challenge" was some school wearing green pants and white shirt. Gan Eng Seng maybe? Man, are they lousy! They obviously pushed uber fast but thats basically because of their hero selection. Enigma, Furion, VS, Lone Druid and Warlock. Other than the fast pushing, I really felt that they sucked. Denying was like not even a priority to them. Going for Mega Creeps wasn't the best idea either. Think, the opponent had QOP, Magnataur, SK, WD and I forgot the last one but don't you think that these 4 can actually pawn them all? I doubt they're going any further than the 2nd round. Standard drop liao man!

Like I said, I went there to get my stuff and here is a picture of what I bought. A Everglide T-1000 and Razer DeathAdder. Cost my card a whopping $147 and I typing with the new keyboard now. I kinda like the feeling and fast response but naturally, I'm not used to it. Same goes to the mouse, the arc is a bit big and weird. Well, just like my Samsung, I gotta get used to it. If not I'm practically wasting my money. Pictures! =)

It's over! Kaboom!

2007-03-12T19:53:00.001+08:00

Haha. It's over! The IT Show, which I was working at, has finally ended. Although I sold nothing on the first 3 days, I managed to squeeze in 5 sets on the last day. Yeah! I'm not happy because I earned a few hundred bucks but because I cracked that big fat 0 beside my name.

Anyway, work aside, I'm really glad my Dad and Sister took the time off after church to come down on the last day of the Show to help me grab some stuff that I wanted. I told them a few days back that I wouldn't be able to leave my booth when I'm working. Mainly because my customers might come back and look for me. In fact, my Dad came down all 4 days to support me and on some days, even gave me a lift home! Thanks for coming! Same goes to Daniel, who came down to visit me but basket, why you never buy any laptops? Wahaha. Other than that, no one came to visit me. Jiaren "did" come to the show but somehow couldn't find my booth. Right?

As usual, I'm pissed off at PhotoBucket as it is taking ages to load. Anyone out there knows of any other reliable sites like PhotoBucket? Not ImageShack please. I think their crap. If you're wondering what I'm trying to upload, it is actually a picture of my Samsung 940BW in action! A monitor that my Dad bought for me during the show! =D

My camera really sucks at night shots. That aside, it is so nice right. I'm practically in love with it. It also comes with a MagicStand which allows the base to swivel and the height to be adjustable! That means, I can watch movies and stuff while on my bed! Sweet! The black thingy at the bottom right-hand corner of the pictures is actually the Everglide Titan MonsterMat, a mousepad that I got at a great price, $19, at the IT Show

Since 1990?

2007-03-05T03:11:00.000+08:00

Haha. I was just reading my own blog for typo errors just now and guess what I spotted?

I've been blogging since 1990! What a joke, to think that no one actually spotted that typo error in a long long time! JJ, not alert man! =P

A round up

2007-03-04T02:58:00.001+08:00

Okay, I just finished a game of DotA with Sam and Ong, Obe Detroyer is rocks my socks! But then again, the opponent were newbies. So, doesn't really prove that it's good. Games aside, here's my entry for today. =)

Almost more than a week since I last updated. Well, guess this will just be a round up of the week. Well, the week has been rather nice to me, didn't fall sick or anything. Watched two movies in all, Just Follow Law and Ghost Rider. Well, I have to say that the latter isn't really nice but wasn't really an eyesore either. Just Follow Law was great, although I expected it to be in Mandarin, it came out to be that the show was equally mixed with English, Mandarin and Hokkien. In addition, I also got a job selling laptops during this coming Sitex Show at Suntec. Not very sure about the basic and commision pay yet but I'm not expecting much because it's the 2nd time I'm working for them and man, are they stingy.

I actually plan to sell as many sets of laptops as I can so that I can get a new keyboard, a Razor DeathAdder and a 19" or 22" LCD monitor. Sounds extravagant right? If I'm not wrong, that's going to cost me about $600-$700. Doubt I can earn so much sell laptops. Nevertheless, I'm still going to get them. By hook or by crook. Haha

Dental appointment is actually this Tuesday but I called in to change the date in order to attend the laptop training. Man, the dentist is so going to kill me when he sees me, I was supposed to do my tooth crowning after my O levels and I've waited till now to do it. Thats what I call procrastinating at its best! Yeah!

I managed to get the World Of Warcraft disc from JJ the other day and I'm actually patching it now. Damn it, 465mb worth of stuff to be patched. Took me about 1 1/2hours and it's at 91% now. Well, I'm going to do the trail for WoW first before deciding to get the starter pack and monthly subscripton thingy. Chances of me playing continuing after the trail period is quite high because I've got friends willing to help me out with gold and leveling, unless. Yes, unless, it is super boring and ridiculously stupid and a waste of time. Then, I won't play it anymore and just stop at the trail.

It is like 3am now and once again, I have to be at church at 8.30am, great! About 5 hours to sleep before I get up at 8am. Well, nothing special, practically every Saturday night is like that for me and damn, it's becoming a bad habit of mine. I sleep at almost 3am everyday and get up at around 1pm. Sometimes when I get up, people are coming home instead of leaving and, I haven't had breakfast in a long long time. Quick, somebody ask me out for breakfast! Come to think of it, don't think anybody will ask me out. Not because I'm hated by everyone and stuff but because the friends of mine are. Let's say, very special. They can practically keep themselves at home for days and not even want to go out. Okay, I shall not gossip about my friends, gossiping is bad! Oh really?

Oh well, I didn't come across any pictures or videos worthy enough to be placed here at my blog. So, guess it is just plain old text for today. Tata then!

These few days

2007-02-16T15:56:00.000+08:00

Well, if it wasn't for Valentine's Day, these few days of mine would have been full of shit. I had a great dinner on that day. I think it's really nice to spend that day with your loved ones, when I was at Marina Square, when we walked around the shopping centre, there was this special aura in the air, like some love scent. All the couples holding hands, some even kissing. =)

I spammed a whole lot of "Happy Valentine's Day" messages to my friends but only a handful replied me. Come on, I'm not interested in you! It's just a friendly gesture. Never mind, I don't send out next year liao. Wahaha.

Can you believe it? Up to day, I'm still clearing my room. I never realised I had that much junk lying around my room. Right now, I am actually taking a break from clearing my shelves. Basket, so much unnecessary stuff. For the first time, I opened all my windows and man, is it bright in my room! Sunny friday eh? Anyway, JAE results will be announced on 7th March. Well, I wish everyone get to their school and courses of their choices and if you don't, it's not the end of the world. All I can do is wish you guys, can't do anything more. So I'm considered very nice already! Haha. By the way, if you don't get in, let's not make hasty decisions and commit suicide. Not auspicious for Chinese New Year! =)

Okay, I took berely a few minutes to do this blog entry, which means it is time to get back to clearing my dungeon full of rubbish! Yeah! So fun, my ass! I'll post my Valentine's Day picture in the next entry, I have no idea whether my sister has uploaded the stuff from the camera. Cheerios everybody!

Pictures

2007-02-12T02:24:00.000+08:00

Nothing really massive happened today. Only detail worth mentioning about was dinner. My family and I had sandwiches and I tell you, it was amazing! It kept my stomach bloated for almost 2 hours. =)

Well, I came across some pictures while surfing around VR-Zone. So I guess I'd share it with you guys. I picked out only the ones that I found funny. Enjoy! I'll post some more tomorrow or the day after

Done and over with

2007-02-11T01:31:00.000+08:00

Well, these few days was rather tense for me. Getting back my O levels results was the main cause. Couldn't sleep the night before I got the results and when I got my results back, I have to say, I'm not very happy with myself for scoring a huge 19points for my L1R4. Really should have done better but anyway, I guess we all did our best. Getting 19points really narrows down my chances of getting into DMC, although I fit the criteria for entry. I guess I'll settle for some Engineering course in Singapore Polytechnic instead. =)

After procrastinating for a long long time, I have finally moved my furniture into the right places, so what I need now is just a paint job and I suppose my room will be ready for Chinese New Year, maybe then, I can invite my friends over again! But then again, it is a maybe. It could've been a definite yes for my friends to come over if it wasn't for some crappy behaviour that one or two of them had when they came over the other time, it really pissed my parents off. Haha

It has been practically DotA everyday for me and I'm starting to think that I'm wasting my time. I mean, I don't even have a proper team of 5 now, so training on public games is sort of useless as nobody plays draft heros. An old good buddy of mine recently asked me to join him at WoW. You know what? I might just take up that offer. Watch out for me, Nicky!

Church service is at 8.30am so, according to my calculations, I have to sleep real soon in order for me to be able to get my ass off the bed later.

Revived monitor!

2007-02-03T22:35:00.000+08:00

Haha. That's right! My monitor is back in action! Which means I can delay the purchase of a new one and don't have to dig another hole in my wallet! Anyway, rather or actually, extremely busy these few days because I've been trying to configure back my monitor and stuff. Well, now that I'm free, I can blog. Cheers! Computer stuff aside, Photobucket.com sucks! Takes extremely long to actually upload my videos or images. Before I came to Blogger, I already opened the site and it is still processing my Login ID and Password, thats a 1/10 for service! I'd only give 0 if the whole site is down. Anyway, I have no rights to condemn them or whatsoever, just my feedback. After all, my account is those free subscription types. As promised, I'd be uploading Nosey Window Part 2 later in this post. =)

DotA is killing me, I'm playing like 5-7 full games a day, full games which means those that had leavers at the start wasn't counted. I have no life. Someone, save me! Ask me out, give me a job, date me, kidnap me, murder me, bring me to some place to recreational activites!

Monday blues

2007-01-30T01:09:00.000+08:00

Yet another edition of the Monday blues! Okay, I literally woke up at 2pm today and ate prata for breakfast cum lunch before getting hooked onto my computer playing CS and Warcraft3 for the whole day until about 6pm, yikes! As my parents weren't home, it was only my sister and I at home for dinner and as usual, she didn't cook or offered to buy back, so I had to do it. As lazy as I am, I called KFC delivery instead. Wahaha! And KFC, I'm disappointed with the shit you served me. I mean, you told me 45mins and took 1 1/2 hours to come? Bullshit. Late, I can deal with it but serve me a medium coleslaw that was not covered properly? It stained the dining table the moment I placed the plastic bag down! You've just lost yourself a loyal customer. =P

You know, I'm actually starting to miss school. Not because of the homework I get in school but because of the people that used to be constantly around me when I'm in school. Although I still meet up with a few of them for LAN sometimes, I haven't seen the others in ages! The rubbish we used to do in class, the bullshit that we talked about every lesson, the ever so contagious laughs, everyday was fun! If everybody were to retain this year, I don't mind joining you guys! Just an example of how much I missed school days, no evil intentions whatsoever. Haha!

Well, old matters aside. Here I have, a video of a friend. I got it from his brother, Chu Sheng while having dinner with both our families at some stupid Teochew Restaurant. Well, his name is Chu Shing and he is one crazy, or I might say, retarded fella. Check it out! And if you're wondering who's the guy speaking and video tapping it all, you guess it right, his manipulative brother. I call this video, The Nosey Window. Haha. Buffering might take a while, so hang on!

Come back again for Part 2 of The Nosey Window

Blue, purple and green?

2007-01-24T21:19:00.000+08:00

Well, if it isn't another day of clearing my room. Damn it, I still have to bring my Dad's files and table downstairs, clear even more of my secondary school books and worksheets, and pain the whole room before it is officially done. My Mum gave me a deadline to do everything. She said that I had to get everything done by Chinese New Year. Which means, I have like a few more weeks. Guess I'm going to require some time management skills. I don't know why but I'm like kinda lazy these few days, like restless.

By the way, yesterday's trip to Singapore Poly's DMC 101 course was great! We went there at about 2.30pm and sat in their auditorium for awhile before heading to individual classes, where we played interactive games. Our group got the Murder Mystery game. Fun! Detective Alfred Chan did it! Haha. We also had to do a news report recorded on camera. I'll get the footage of mine soon and I'd be more than happy to post it here for everyone to watch =)

Anyway, you must be thinking, what the hell is Blue, purple and green? Well, those are actually the UV colours present inside my PC. Here are actually some pictures for you guys to check out!

Before!

After!

After and in the dark!
