Ray's Record of Silly Antics and Rants

As I jumped off the building.....

2006-04-10T22:14:00.000+08:00

Hello again! I'm back, to report that I've graduated from poly(with an above-average GPA, or so it says on the result slip) and will be enlisting to Pulau Tekong on the 7th of this coming July. Hmm... Wonder how will it turn out?

But for the moment, it's all about the upcoming FOC. Programme Committee rocks! With the terrific leadership of Mommy, Eric and the ever-charismatic Prince Ali of Babua with his reliable Tongkat, our committee is the most happening. Best team ever! Wonder when is Raj is going to come-to-come-to join us...

So just a few days ago, we had our FOC Mentor Training Camp. I say it was quite fun. Setting up of the "Haunted House" and all. It was like the Programme Committe main event in this camp, so everyone was doing their part in preparing it. Seriously, I don't think it was possible if everyone had not help one another. We also received help from some people from Facilitator and Admin committee. And of course, Logistics too, for buying some of the stuffs for us. Nice! =)

Here are a few pics during the Night Walk session during the camp:

Meet the hottest new male model of Muslim clothing line, Hejab Iran. Imam can be funky too!

We finally caught the ghost that haunts our Chinese Opera stage!

Fahmi trying to be scary.
It looks like a cross between famous horror icon Freddy Krueger and Power Rangers Dino Thunder main villain, to me.

Coming back home after a late night fatal road accident...

Patrick trying his best to be scary. LOL!

The rest of the misfits.

Who's that?

Boo! Crappy quality due to shaky hands and the darkness. :(

A better picture of our main actress. One of my favourite pictures! If she was the real one, I don't ever want to meet her... *shivers*

For a better quality version of all the pictures posted above and more, just ask me on MSN. Cya! ;-)

So I was walking around last Friday after school. Greg wanted to buy some hair wax, so we accompanied him to Guardian. But look at what we found:

Nu-Hair! Promises to regain back your loss hair, IN 60 SECONDS! Not inspired by the movie, Gone In 60 Seconds, this product I say, is a failure. If it had stated that you can grow back your hair in 60 weeks or months, people would have believe it. But 60 seconds? Even David Copperfield can't pull it off!

YC doing an impersonation of the man on the cover of that Nu-Hair product. And it is obvious that he failed miserably, just like the product itself. He just ended up looking like a Chinaman.

And so, while I was waiting for the bus to go home, I saw this:

Look familiar? Look again.

What in the freaking hell, are Raj and Mac doing in this ad?! LOL!

And that's it for now. I'll be back for more lame-ass action next time. Cya! ;-)

Happy Chinese New Year to all those of you who are celebrating it! And Happy New Year for all those Muslims too, for 1st of Muharram is next Tuesday! =)

Here are the pics/vids I took with my handphone for last week's TP Open House 3rd Day:
http://www.freewebs.com/rayx/OH06-3.zip

I was too lazy to upload all of them one by one, so I just zipped them all up. But I'll just post up one good picture for you all. Sadly, not everyone was in it, including me, who was taking this picture. :(

2006-01-20T01:01:00.001+08:00

Testing my new handphone during the Temasek Polytechnic Open House 2006, which starts today.

I was assigned to the same job as last year: The lobby job. Only difference is that I was a normal E-guide last year, whereas this year I'm a mentor. Promoted! LOL! As you can see from the above picture, everyone is bored. What are those 2 guys in the background doing?

So due to boredom, these 2 guys tried to do some modelling. Look at how engrossed they were in dressing up themselves...

Ta-da! The final product! Hunks from TP Engineering strutting their hot bods.

Busy time has started. Modelling has taken a back seat. It's time to entertain guests!

So I was browsing thru the TP's openhouse mag, and guess what I saw? Fabian! He's our model student for my course, Computer Engineering, this year! Would you look at him? So fierce!!!

It seems that Fabian has "All The Right Moves". Sleeping during lessons, are all good moves. So people, sleep your way to success in TP!

The police has arrived... And they're picking up a fight!

Nah.. They just want some love.
From left: Jeremy, Mac and Fairdaus.

Nick and Greg doing prank calls on some innocent young man, while waiting for the debrief to start. Conversation was on loudspeaker on a mic, so that the whole lecture theatre can hear. Looks like they're having lots of fun!

One last meeting after the long debrief.

Finally! The day is over! Chee Wee(sitting down) feeling mightily orgasmic.

Let's hope tomorrow will be another fun day. Hope my technical presentation goes well too! Ciao people! ;-)

2006-01-05T11:15:00.000+08:00

Damn it, man! The Major Project judging has yet to come, but I'm already feeling down. Got to know my OS term test results yesterday, and I got the lowest marks: 13/50! This is definititely, my worst result I got in my life in TP. Lots of mistakes for my Gantt Chart. Need more practice! No. Need LOTS of practice. I cannot make stupid careless mistakes already. Fuck it, man! I'll make sure I score for my exams!

2005-12-30T22:43:00.000+08:00

I just got home, when my mom told me that one of my cousins was in critical condition in the ICU. In less than an hour later, my mom received another call from my aunt, informing her that my cousin has just passed away. :(

It is fast. And it will come without warning. That is what you call, death. Serious man! I don't know how my cousin's family is handling it. He, who is about 20 years older than me, left behind a wife and 3 children. How will they cope, I wonder? Hmm....

Haiz... No mood to party already. Besides the above mentioned, my mom's sick too. She can faint easily now, and this has been going on for about 3 weeks already. It's the reason I can't really go home that late during weekdays, cos there is no one to look after her at night. Doctors said it's not high-blood pressure nor low-blood pressure. They said she's just under stress. WTF?!

Haiz... And Major Project is still killing me, with all its report writing and presentation preparations. ....

2005-11-09T21:42:00.000+08:00

I'm gonna get a warning letter soon, for my SIP project is behind schedule. This is CONFIRMED! Haiz.... :(

2005-11-07T22:23:00.000+08:00

Another optical illusion.

Now if you look at the above picture, the face on the left looks angry whereas the one of the right has a calm face. Now take a few steps back. You'll noticed that those 2 faces has switched places! =)

2005-11-05T18:38:00.000+08:00

So me and Amir did something unusual yesterday... No, it was this morning. We walked from City Hall all the way to Khatib area(or is it Yio Chu Kang? I'm not sure, but it's somewhere in the middle between those 2 places. At the Seletar Reservoir there... ). Actually we were planning to walk right up to our house, but due to time-constraint(I had to reach home by 7am) and tired legs, we didn't complete it. I think if we had started at midnight or so, we could have reach our place by around 7am. But we started quite late: 3am. Haha! It was quite an experience. Quite fun too! Next time, it'll be better. =)

When we reached Ang Mo Kio around 5-plus in the morning, and we were feeling quite good cos it was quite an achievement, ya? But the funny thing is that, we were ONLY halfway through. Woodlands is at least 2 hours away(Amir would know, cos he walked from Bishan to Woodlands before). We didn't stopped walking throughout the journey, only sat down twice at 2 bus-stops in Yio Chu Kang. The 2nd time we sat down and rest, 969 came along. I bet it was the first bus from Tampines Interchange! Time was 6.05am so. So we boarded the bus straight back to Woodlands, giving our very tired legs a good rest. It was given more rest when I reached home and had a good sleep later on. We should do stuffs like these more often! XD

2005-11-03T00:52:00.000+08:00

It's time, people! The holiday week! Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri! And for those who aren't really celebrating, enjoy your holidays! =)

2005-10-24T20:45:00.000+08:00

Russell Peters no longer needs anymore introductions. Here's a new show of his performance in New York, cos I'm sure everyone is freaking sick and tired of his old jokes:

2005-10-23T20:08:00.000+08:00

Nightwish's last few albums, in my opinion, hadn't been good. In fact, I don't like their latest album one bit. If it's anything, it's a sign of them declining. And just only, something happened. It seemed that there's conflict in the band, and this has been going on for quite some time. But all is revealed now, on their site. Tarja Turunen has been EXPELLED from Nightwish! Here is the open letter, written on their site:

Dear Tarja,

It's time to choose whether the story of Nightwish ends here or whether it will still continue an undetermined period of time. We`ve been working with this creation for 9 years and we are not ready to give up yet. Nightwish is a way of life, something to live for, and we`re certain we can't let it go.

Equally certain is the fact that we cannot go on with you and Marcelo any longer. During the last year something sad happened, which I've been going over in my head every single day, morning and night. Your attitude and behavior don`t go with Nightwish anymore. There are characteristics I would never have believed to see in my old dear friend.
People who don't talk with each other for a year do not belong in the same band.

We are involved in an industry where the business-side of things is a necessary evil and something to worry about all the time. We are also a band which has always done music from the heart, because of friendship and the music itself. The mental satisfaction should always be more important than money! Nightwish is a band, it`s an emotion.To you, unfortunately, business, money, and things that have nothing to do with those emotions have become much more important. You feel that you have sacrificed yourself and your musical career for Nightwish, rather than thinking what it has given to you.This attitude was clearly shown to me in the two things you said to me in an airplane in Toronto: "I don`t need Nightwish anymore." and "Remember, Tuomas, that I could leave this band at any time, giving you only one day`s warning in advance".I can't simply write any more songs for you to sing.

You have said yourself that you are merely a "guest musician" in Nightwish. Now that visit ends and we will continue Nightwish with a new female vocalist.
We`re sure this is an equally big relief to you as it is for us. We have all been feeling bad long enough.

You told us that no matter what, the next Nightwish album will be your last one. However, the rest of us want to continue as long as the fire burns. So there`s no sense in doing that next album with you, either.
The four of us have been going over this situation countless times and we have realized that this is the thing we want to do in life. It´s all we can do. In December 2004, in Germany, you said that you will never tour again for more than two weeks at a time. You also said that we can forget about U.S. and Australia because the fees and the sizes of venues are too small.

In interviews I`ve mentioned that if Tarja leaves, that would be the end of the band. I understand that people will think this way. Nightwish is, however, a scenery of my soul and I`m not ready to let go because of one person. A person who wants to focus her creativity to somewhere else, a person whose values don't match mine.

We were never bothered by the fact that you didn't participate in writing/arranging songs, you never in 9 years came to rehearse the songs with us before going to the studio. Not the fact that while on tour you always wanted to fly, separately from us with your husband. Not the fact that you are an undisputable front image of the band.We accepted and felt ok about everything except greed, underestimating the fans, and breaking promises. It was agreed by the five of us that Nightwish would be the priority in everything that we do during 2004-2005. Still so many things were more important to you. The ultimate example being the already sold-out show in Oslo, which you wanted to cancel because you needed to rehearse for your solo concerts, meet frieds and go to the movies. Those were the words Marcelo used in an e-mail explaining the cancellation. This being just one example of so many. I couldn`t think of a worse way of being selfish and dismissing our fans.

Nightwish is a way of life and a job with many obligations. To each other and to the fans. With you we can`t take care of those duties anymore.

Deep within we don't know which one of you drove us to this point. Somehow Marcelo has changed you from the lovely girl you were into a diva, who doesn`t think or act the way she used to. You are too sure of your irreplaceableness and status.

It`s obvious that you blame your stress and misery on us four. And you think we don`t respect or listen to you. Belive us; We have always had the uppermost respect towards you as a wonderful vocalist and as a friend. And very often during the past couple of years the plans were made according to your decisions only. You were always the only one who wanted more money from the shows.This "compensation and more money from everything" –attitude is the fact that we are most disappointed of!

We wish that from now on you will listen to your heart instead of Marcelo. Cultural differences combined with greed, opportunism and love is a dangerous combination. Do not wither yourself.

This decision is not something we are especially proud of but you gave us no choice. The gap between us is too wide. And the decision is made by us four unanimously. We are beyond the point where things could be settled by talking.

All the best for your life and career,

Tuomas

Emppu Jukka Marco

Ps. This is an open letter for everybody.

How terribly sad... Sad news for power metal fans from all over the world. Even though the other 4 members will continue on, in my eyes, they'll no longer be Nightwish. Tarja not in Nightwish, is like a missing tomato in a vegetable salad. Yeah, change of line-ups in a band is not uncommon, but this is different. Tarja had been there since the very beginning, for 9 years! See what happened to GnR when there's no Axl and Slash?

2005-10-11T23:36:00.000+08:00

So after breaking fast just now, I had a terrible stomach ache. Really terrible! Not only the ache, but it felt like as if the contents can't fit already and it needs to be released. Therefore, release was what it got, and relief was what I got. I tell ya, the speed in which the shit was released, was in at an awesome speed! It can be likened to Greg's vomitting in the bedroom during the recent chalet. Too fast, man! Too hot to handle! After all these, besides relief, I also received an empty stomach. I felt hungry again, but I just have no mood to eat, sadly... :(

And so, while blogging this, Graydon messaged me on MSN, telling me that Amanda is on Channel U now. It's a gameshow or something. LOL! Izwan appeared on an episode of Phua Chu Kang last time too. Not bad. People I know have been appearing on tv. Maybe next time, we'll see Yogen rapping on tv. Or maybe Joseph and gang doing Singapore's version of Jackass. Maman joining Suria's Anugerah? Or even have Singh starring as some hero in a new serial!!! Hey, it could happen! You'll never know! But I think, Singh's more prone to being a victim of a prank call than being a movie star. LMAO! Fear the Turbanator!!!............ Oh wait, he doesn't have a turban now! :P

2005-10-09T00:58:00.000+08:00

Actually, there was supposed to be a chalet today. A Tekken chalet! But since most people can't make it for all 3 days, Kenneth didn't book it. It seemed that he planned alot today, and most of us were willing to go along with whatever was planned. But a few of them had some last minute changes, and so we just had a mini inter-clan tournament; something which I didn't take too seriously. I just wanted to have fun. And yes I did! Fun games using Jack-5, Hwoarang and Yoshimitsu. Jack-5 is the real hero. Really enjoyed doing his juggle that deals more than half the health bar. Makes people think twice before going pitbull against him! =)

I think there was one incident, during the drawing of lots for the "tourney", and Sammy drew a name "Uncle". He was damn confused at first, but later he found out, after asking around, that that "Uncle" is actually him! Had a freaking good laugh, man! Damn funny I tell ya!! XD

So like I said earlier, there was cocked up of plans later on, leaving Kenneth quite pissed. And so, after most of them went their separate ways, it was just me, Sammy and Vincent left. So we decided to eat(yeah, the sun had set) and went to watch a movie. We watched "Goal!". Not a bad movie. Typical sports movie, but I enjoyed it. It left me with a "feel-good" feeling. :)

2005-10-05T18:43:00.000+08:00

Just a few more minutes before the first break fast, for this Ramadhan. Yosh!

Here's a little something for you people:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/g2/story/0,,1571375,00.html
Just like a Tamil movie! O_O

2005-10-04T23:50:00.000+08:00

Haha... It's my 19th birthday today. So close to the big 2-0! LOL! Anyways, went to some place called Ambrosia(or something) in Arab Street. Nothing much to say about this place, except that everyone burned a hole in the wallets, to get, like Alvin said, 1/10 of their stomach filled. And it seems that Danial got himself addicted to sheesha(spelling?). But anyway, at least the drinks were good.

And also, sorry to Raj and the rest of the crappy crew(nice name!), if you wanted to do something tonight. I had to choose; how I wish I can have another me. Haha! Maybe this weekend or what lah, if you people really wanna do something.

Of course, finally, thanks to those people who wished me today, or yesterday! Especially Joseph, for singing me the Moskau song, on the phone just now. XD
Stay crappy forever, everyone! \m/ >.< \m/

PS: I finally changed Fairuz's link on my blog. So, you can stop complaining now... =)

2005-10-02T21:26:00.000+08:00

Alright. Update time! It's that time of the year again. Ramadhan, the Muslim fasting month, is here. It'll start this coming Wednesday, and will end on 2nd November. After that, it's Hari Raya. Haiz... Fasting month can be quite bad, for me. Why? Less pocket money.
Less money = Less enjoyment(Tekken, movies, DVDs, videogames, etc)
Less enjoyment = More stress
LOL!

Anyways, I overheard some lecturers in my lab talking, last Friday. It's quite a discovery, for me. Word has it, that my lab is haunted! Yup! Below is the conversation I overheard(not 100% word-for-word, but it's the closest):

Lecturer: You know, there are mysterious people that comes to the lab, everytime.
Guests: Huh? What?
Lecturer: Haven't you heard, they say this lab is haunted?
Guests: Huh? Really?
Lecturer: Ya! These few days, there has been more incidents. This morning, the TSO arrived, all the staff cubicles doors, cabinets all, had been opened. This had been going on for a long time already. Quite common lah.
(They continued talking, blah, blah, blah....)
Guests: Then? The cameras didn't catch anything ar?
Lecturer: No, no. The cameras.....(I can't hear this part. Something about not seeing, or can't see)
Lecturer: It's not only the TSO, you know. Many other people have had encounters too. The cleaners, the students. The Myanmar students all had encounters. People have reported that they saw strange people coming in and all.

And they all went out of the lab, for lunch, still talking on the subject. Damn! I wanna hear more. :(
So people, if you wanna do some ghost-hunting in school, look no further than my lab. At least, this is more believable than that Bangla-trapped-in-a-cement-pillar story. :)

And on a final note, Yoshimitsu rocks! =)

2005-09-18T23:08:00.000+08:00

What a weekend! The CENT Retreat cum Terry's birthday party, was great. Whether it's getting drunk and vomitting all over the chalet or being a child for a night, I'm sure everyone had lots of fun.

This weekend, was my first time in this chalet near Pasir Ris Park. It was a massive surprise for me. Super-big chalet, man! 2 storeys, lots of rooms and balconies, very spacious! I didn't even know this chalets existed in Pasir Ris.

Ok. First night was the usual BBQ night. Everyone just slacked, talking crap and enjoying the food. Then late at night, everyone just went wild. Almost everyone gambled and drank away, except 2 Mats: Me and Amir. Like Waks outside the barber shop, we played Carrom(is that the correct spelling?). Thanks to Mr Clement Chew for teaching me abit of it, earlier that night, I knew the basics. But I'm still sucky. :P
What nothing could prepare us for what happened that night. Zoo shifted for one night only, to Unit 46! Mac was shouting like nobody's business, Raj was laughing at people for no reason and Greg was trying to control himself, but he can't. YC was running and jumping around the house shirtless, singing some boyband songs(I think) and Jeremy just can't stop smiling. And then, there was the vomitting session. One by one, people vomitted, all over the house. And you know what? Mats saved the day! Me, Amir and Zaki, who didn't get himself drunk, became cleaners for one night. Yeah. We were all cleaning the filth produced by the drunk people. Only YC didn't vomit. He just ran around the house. And Raj wasn't that high, so he also helped out, including Ching Ming and the birthday girl herself, Terry. And Tiong Guan? He wanted to sleep, but all the commotion prevented him that. The final straw was went Greg vomitted in the bedroom he was trying to sleep in. LOL! He went out and sleep in the corridor. Well, he tried. Haha.. Then helped clean up abit before going to sleep again.

The second day was, well, cleaner! We were damn bored during the day, so we watched Man Of The House: one of the DVDs Ching Ming brought. It's not really a good movie, but, the antics of Tommy Lee Jones are enough to cracked us all up. Not to mention, the hotties in that film: Christina Millian, Monica Keena, Kelli Garner, Paula Garces and Vanessa Ferlito. These reasons were good enough for us to watch the movie 3 times during the chalet! No...4 times! We watched it again at night. Even if the babes don't attract you, no one can resist the charm of stone-faced actor, Tommy Lee Jones. "Now that's old-school......"

Greg's mom dropped by, with her family, later that night, and we even had more fun. Playing in the park at night. Making so much noise. It's a night where adults became children. LOL! Good clean fun! We got all sweaty, but no one even bothered to bath. Everyone just wanted to sleep. And what to you get for this? A stinky bedroom. No one cared, cos like I said before, everyone just wanted to sleep.

This chalet during the weekends was one of the best. Maybe if more people turned up, it could have been way better! =)

2005-09-09T23:33:00.000+08:00

Bloody hell! Today got some nonsensical function at Tampines's Century Square. Today is, Ladies' Night. No guys allowed! Serious, man! There were bouncers there too, to prevent the men from going in. No kidding! What the fuck is this? Since when did a clean neighbourhood became like this?!

So how to get in right? The bouncers at the doors, told us that if we want to watch movie at the cinemas, we have to go up the cargo lifts. Haha... So we just lied to them that we're watching movie, and they let us through. :)

Ok. So what did we saw inside? Do you think we saw any hotties? Not really. Just aunties. Lots and lots of aunties! Heck, I don't think they even know what's going on! LOL! One of stuffs we saw inside, include a bunch of ladies seated on stage, blindfolded, and let a group of sexy bunch of men(I'm not gay, dammit!) lap-dancing them! Too obscene, man! Too obscene to be in a clean, innocent neighbourhood. And what surprised me even further was small kids sitting, watching the show, on the front row! Wahaha!!! OMG! Now their fragile and innocent minds are tainted. These male dancers even stripped! Nah, it's not what you think. They didn't go full monty. Just down to their boxers only. One of them looks like our beloved Barnabas Woon! No kidding!

And guys have a special event too! Outside the shopping mall. Free beer to be redeemed. And when I was going home just now, I saw sexy female belly dancers, showing their stuffs on the stage outside. No, not those stuffs! When I said "their stuffs", I meant their dance moves. What the hell are you thinking? :P

Hmm... Today's night was so random. Oh, there's another murder reported. They found a woman's head in Orchard MRT Station. O_O View story here: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/167369/1/.html

2005-09-03T22:11:00.000+08:00

Racism at its best...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2004-8/810487/Pureracism.jpg

Self-explanatory, dudes and dudettes.

2005-09-01T21:31:00.000+08:00

Hmm... I think I'm beginning to understand why so many people are so into DOTA. After playing a few games(Heck! I spent 3 hours yesterday night playing this game, man!), I conclude that this game, is FUN! So many fun characters to use, millions of strategies. Haha! :P

2005-08-28T11:26:00.000+08:00

Tekken 5 last Friday, was abit messy. We thought it's just a "play-for-fun-with-one-another" kind of thing, but the DiSC people thought it was really a clan match. WTF? So anyways, we played some 3v3 matches, unlike 5v5 last time. Didn't played much, except for 1 or 2 official matches only. But still, I was happy. Cos I defeated one of our country best, Fat's Raven. Didn't get too nervous, and I think my unorthodox play style this time, confused him abit, and also, luck was involved too. LOL! Then after everything was over, played a few casual matches with this Jae guy using Steve. He's not bad, knows how to parry and all, but he's just a bit too predictable. The best part, is that I didn't even spend a cent that night. XD

Now, is the last week of SIP. And what do I have to look forward to? Just one thing. Warning letter. I think this will be my first! Am not too proud of it, man. :(

Having quite a dilemma here. My task: to design, build and program the robot arm. Sounds easy? No. For the programming part, I don't even know how to start. Wee Boon said that there's a code in the library file to make the servo motor move. But the code is freaking LONG. Reaching few hundreds of lines, possibly thousands! I don't know whether or not if that's the correct codes. And of all problems, the processor decided to fail. Yup, fail. Fail, as in, NOT WORKING! You can't compile the codes, if the processor isn't working!!! ....

Yesterday, I tried to do some school research, since I was at home the whole day. But my attempt didn't go too well. Everytime I tried to do some work, I felt sleepy. Here's how it goes: After bathing in the morning, I tried to think of a new design for the project, after breakfast, and I couldn't even think. I felt sleepy shortly after. I forced myself not to go to sleep, and so I did some random surfing on the net, to cool down. At about 2pm, I tried going back to work, thinking maybe I can think better now. But again, I felt sleepy. Shit! So I succumbed. I went to bed. Woke up nearly 6pm. Or is it near 7pm? Gah... I can't remember. All I know is that I tried doing some work again, and I woke up the next morning. Which is today! I guess my mind is tired. Hopefully today will be a better day.

2005-08-24T21:53:00.000+08:00

Hi again, people! I'm back again, making another entry on my blog, ON THE SAME DAY! Haha... This time, it's about some fucking idiots in the metal industry. For all you Iron Maiden fans, read this:

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=40739

Fucking Osbournes and several of their ass-kissers tried to ruin Iron Maiden's performance on Ozzfest. Yeah, we all know that Ozzfest suck ass. But lately, Ozzy had invited really legendary bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden to perform. But now, Ozzfest had hit really the bottom, for this stupid act by idiots. You don't mess with Iron FUCKING Maiden, man! Reading that article, made me feel jealous. If only I was there, enjoying myself in quite possibly Maiden's most hardcore performance, ever! You guys rule! \m/

Now, if Bruce and gang decide to produce an annual metal festival of their own, it would totally rock! A TRUE Metal festival! No lame-ass Nu-metal bands(no offense to people who listen to nu-metal music, but many of its listeners don't know fuck about metal and still think that nu-metal is really metal music).

And check this out! Here's a YTMND about Bruce Dickinson. A recording of him, obviously pissed at their latest and last Ozzfest show. Embrace the hardcore-ness of the great Iron Maiden frontman! Up the fucking irons! \m/ >.< \m/

Bad news for me: My hard disk is stolen. Crap, man! What bad luck...

And that's what had befallen me yesterday. First thing came to school, only to find out that my hard disk was gone. Nowhere to be found. So told the TSO, and he said that he'll try to find it. Also, was told that I have to pay if the hard disk can't be found. Sigh... And my right contact lenses had been itching since the first time I put it on, in the morning, before going to school. During lunchtime, I went to buy eyedrops(those for people who wear contacts), to try to wet my eyes and hope the itch will go away. Looked at the price, it says $2.70. I proceeded to queue on the super long line, stoning all the way, until I reached the front. The cashier entered the price and all, and I reluctantly gave my precious 10-dollar note to her. And then she returned me about $4. WTF?! I thought she short-changed me. And then I went to look at the receipt. It showed, $5.70. ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!! My itching right-eye had costed me to lose nearly $6 of my daily allowance. But the worse has yet to come.

I went to the toilet, used my super-expensive eyedrops on my freaking right eye. You know what? The itch still wouldn't go away. So I thought, must be something on my lenses that had been causing this irritating itchiness all morning. Took my right eye out(my lenses), checked it.... Hmm... Nothing there. And I went to put it back. Or so I thought. On my way back to the Engineering block, my right eye's vision was super blurred. As if I'm not wearing any lenses. And it was true! After poking my right eye like hell, trying to take out my lenses WHICH ISN'T THERE!!! All I got was a bloody red right eye. -.-

So no problem, I think. I'll just take out my contact lense holder from my pocket and store my left lense in it. Guess what? I FORGOT TO BRING THE FREAKING HOLDER!!!! GAHHH!!!! No choice, man. Had to wear it the whole day. And it was very uncomfortable. One eye can see, the other can't. It made me dizzy. There were times during the day where I felt like vomitting, due to the dizziness. Thank God I didn't! So, with no hard disk, no eyesight, no money... I really felt lost and handicapped. Pity my soul, people.... Pity me! ;_;

2005-08-18T20:36:00.000+08:00

Blehkzs!!! My lab TSO, Uncle Yue, switch off the internet connection today. What kind of workplace doesn't have internet access?! What if we wanna do our research?! Download stuffs related to our project? What nonsense is this?!!!! And he didn't even turn it back on once it was 3pm. Gah! I don't know what this old man's thinking.... >=(

Ok. PR2 was today. PR2 is actually our second progress report, where we present to our beloved Dr Yin, our progress for our project, in front of everyone in our CU(Competency Unit). I think me and Larry were quite lucky, not to get grilled by him today. So now that PR2 is over, I think we can relax a bit. The next group of people we have to impress, is months away, which is the Final Year Project judging. Hmm... 7 weeks of holiday is around the corner, but we, don't have any. We still need to finish up our project so that we won't have anything to do for FYP next semester, except our report. Yeah, this is one thing I like about my SIP. Because it is also, our FYP. Haha! I've heard cases of students attached outside for SIP, doing work that has got NOTHING related to their course of study. So, I'm actually quite thankful we're doing in-house SIP! =)

2005-08-06T00:31:00.000+08:00

CCN Day was held today. My duty, is to become an umpire for the Foosball Challenge! A foosball tournament organised by CENT and i.Hub. It was kinda boring, at first. I was abit worried if there won't be much people joining this, cos they have to pay to play every round. But, fortunately, most of the people were sporting, and willing to pay to play. Especially our beloved MAP/MSD lecturer, Mr Victor Ng! He spent money like water, man! LOL! Too bad he didn't get into the top 3.

Anyways, I've always been amazed at watching those foosball pro playing on tv. But today, I got to see them, live in action! It was truly an eye-opening event. So many good players, man! The champion is our very own, calm and collected, school lecturer. In the earlier matches he only lost to one guy, from ETCM. He later on, beat that same guy, to net 1st place, in a super intense match in the Final 3 playoffs. That guy( sorry, man. Couldn't remember his name :P), let's call him, Mr Concentration( LOL! Why? Cos whenever he's in a tight situation, he would always have a long stare at the opponents' goalpost. And then, BOOM! BOOM! BANG! BANG! He wins!), went on to win 2nd place. And 3rd place, goes to a tag team of 2 girls! Using a brilliant tactic fast attacking play, they managed to trash almost every single opponent they played, with lightning speed! They'll beat you even before you could complete saying, "Shit". Yeah, that's how fast they are. Hmm.. Let's call them, The Lightning Sisters. Haha! Opponents won't know what hit them... You can ask Jeremy. XD

Now, for the street soccer event, it's another really eventful event(erm yeah...). Fights aplenty, just what you can expect in a street soccer tournament. But that is not the point. The point is that there were so many teams playing beautiful soccer. It was really a joy watching them play. :)

And, for the final event of my day. Tekken clan match, Legion vs DiSC, at Bugis. LOL! All I have to say is, I had a very sucky game. Didn't even win a single match. Dragon Chef played a really non-fancy and effective Law, as usual. Clearing the whole team, was a task, coolly handled by him. On the other hand, Kazuhiko, went for style with his Hwoarang. Not only was he's fancy, but super effective. His fast mixups easily put the DiSC team under pressure. But when it was their "Boss's"(their final player) turn, we got our ass handed to us, ON A SILVER PLATTER!!! He uses Jack-5, Raven and Devil Jin. All with scary win/loss record. Just his Devil Jin alone, he has about 270+ Wins and 7 Losses. Ok....WTF?!! Monster! I was always one of the last to go, and I always HAVE to face him. -.- He was the only opponent I faced during today's match. Gah! Omega came back from his reservist, just before the 2nd set began. So the Legion's team strength was increased. But we all still lost the match with a score of 3-1. Below are the results, taken from DiSC's website( http://www.disconnect.per.sg/) :

Mrs Lay-Tan Siok Lie: Director of Temasek Engineering School. Everytime I see her, she reminds me of someone. But I just can't remember who! But after reaching home today, I finally knew!

My beloved Engineering School Director

Manta from Shaman King

Hmm... Don't they look so much alike? Orhyoryor!!!

2005-08-03T21:30:00.000+08:00

Ok. My new pair of contact lenses sucks! So freaking dry. And they still say, Acuvue lenses are thin and therefore comfortable for your eyes. Comfortable? My foot! Let's see, I'll give it some time. Who knows? Maybe it'll take some time for my eyes to get use to this new brand I'm wearing. WTF? Is there even such a thing?

Haha! Look at this news article from Soccernet:http://soccernet.espn.go.com/headlinenews?id=337901&cc=4716
The headline says it all, "Young Boys Wankdorf erection relief". I'm sure the reporter is bored, if he can come out nonsensical headlines like that. LOL! Good job, man! I'm sure you had lots of fun!

On a totally unrelated note, check out this blog: http://thesecondholocaust.blogspot.com/
And this: http://thethirdholocaust.blogspot.com/
All I can say is, his blogs are......interesting. I pity him. He must have been exposed to the wrong group of people. But there's no reason for him to hate the whole community, my community. People like him, are quite common. No reason to get overly mad at him, cos that's definitely what he wants. He wants the attention. That's why he created those blogs, you see....

Anyways, that all for tonight. I'm feeling hungry right now. I had my lunch, but I did not. Huh? Why? Cos I vomited all of my lunch right after I had consumed them. I don't know what happened. It just, came out. Forced exit. Anorexia, is what my body wants. LOL! You don't even accept Burger King, do you wanna kill me or what?!!! >:(

2005-08-02T22:02:00.000+08:00

Argh!! My bloody workplace(which is actually one of the labs in my school) is limiting our Internet usage! There's a new rule saying that there will be no Internet connection from 8am to 3pm every day. I don't know when exactly this'll take into effect, but, WTF?!!! My lab sucks! Their imprisoning us. Please get me outta here! I don't know whose brilliant idea this is, but whoever that implemented this must have had a traumatized childhood. I'm not kidding...

So, I've finally watched Cannibal Holocaust today. The controversial 1980 gore movie. Ugh... After watching that, I think I'm slightly disturbed. Now I have trouble eating. The gory scenes keep playing in my fragile little mind. I'm disgusted! Although it's fake, but I don't know why I can't get rid of it from my mind. Haha... At least there were some funny parts of the film. Who would have expected, our inside joke, would appear in this old movie?! Hahaha!!! Damn funny, man! Don't think anyone, except me and few of my friends, would laugh at that scene. Orhyoryor!!!! XD

For those who're curious about this movie, Cannibal Holocaust, go research about it yourself. I'm too lazy to describe it. http://www.imdb.com is the BEST choice. Like duh..... Ok, anyone wants it, I can burn it for you.

Hmm... Should I go Bugis for Tekken this weekend? There's a clan match between Legions and DISC either on this Friday or Saturday. And was asked whether I wanted to play for Legions on that match or not. WTF? I'm not even in their clan. But, if I'm free and they need extra players, why not eh? Clan matches looks kinda fun. Orhyoryor!!!

2005-07-30T22:54:00.000+08:00

Check out this cool stuff(kinda old, but it's for those who doesn't know about it):

http://exn.ca/video/?video=exn20050209-waterless.asx

This video is about a substance that looks, feels, and seems to be just like water, but it reacts with things completely differently. In the beginning, you can see a guy dropping a TV and a handphone into this substance. Both devices came out completely unharmed. But later on, you see a fire being put out with it. Just keep watching the video. =)

I've heard problems people had while trying to watch it using Firefox. So, try viewing it in IE if it's giving you problems on Firefox.

2005-07-30T00:51:00.000+08:00

This week, was abit weird. Computer engineers doing hard labour. Where have you seen that? Probably nowhere but in TP. 2 lucky(or unlucky) guys got picked to do Robotics for their SIP project, and now they're more like construction workers, than they're are programmers. But, it's been fun. Me and Larry enjoyed making a fool outta ourselves while working(carrying lots of woods from the industrial park, all the way to school, by walking). We even marched while crossing the road. Lame shit, man! Total idiots... If any director wants to make a stoner comedy, please find us! =)

All I have to say is that, cutting wood, is MAN!!!!!! You're not a man until you've cut wood! LOL! We're not sissies, like those people who sit in their lab the whole day, programming and playing games. Huh...what?? >.> <.< :P

And today was Tekken again! Alot of people at CS tonight. Really had fun playing. :D

2005-07-25T22:58:00.000+08:00

Tonight's episode of Incredible Tales on Channel 5 was good! For the first time, Incredible Tales don't have that cheesy story and acting. This is what you get for hiring experienced actors and actresses: A good show. =)

2005-07-24T10:07:00.000+08:00

Shit man! Today morning, I was supposed to be jogging.

Anyways, Tekken 5.1 is released in Singapore, at Bugis arcade. Tried it out yesterday, after hanging out with the CENT gang at town. Not too bad. It took me quite a long time to get used to using Steve there. By the time I kind of got used to it, I was already demoted twice. LOL! Alot of Steve's moves are no longer there. :(

And so I went to Maman's birthday in Changi, after that! Long time didn't see him. He still look the same. Haha... So many people were there, man! His family, relatives, friends.. It felt like I'm in some village. Stayed there for awhile lah, enjoying the free food and all. Feeling quite sleepy then. Just felt like taking a taxi home yesterday, cos I can't stop thinking about my bed at home. LOL! Luckily, there's Wei Xiong to drive us all home. Small van, but almost 10 people are inside. Over-limit. If there's a road block, he's sure to get it.

But before going home, we all went to see some bapok action! Hahaha.. Had abit of fun disturbing them for awhile.
Wei Xiong drove thru the Seletar Camp area later on, so that he could avoid road blocks. And this area he drove by, is super scary, man! It doesn't help that Matin was telling us ghost stories. And then, there was a strange smell.... Ooh...scary!

2005-07-17T22:36:00.000+08:00

Today's morning jog with Chee Jian, was great! For the first time in a long time, I didn't curse the beautiful morning. =)

2005-07-05T23:22:00.000+08:00

Something strange happened to me today. In the morning, I walk to the bus-stop near my house, to take a bus(DUH!) to Woodlands Interchange. So Bus 911 came first, boarded it and I found myself a seat. The next thing I know, was the bus entering the interchange. WTF?!! Really big WTF, man! Seriously, I can't seem to remember what I did in the bus during the trip to the interchange. Usually I would remember some scenes during my stoning session in the bus, like a kid boarded the bus at which stop, an old man finding himself a seat, a Malaysian worker sitting near the Exit, and all these stuffs. But not today. I feel really weird, man! I feel like I've been robbed. I'VE BEEN ROBBED OF MY TIME! I LOST FREAKING 10 MINUTES OF MY LIFE!!!! This is quite scary. I think, this is how people suffering from amnesia feels like...

Oh, and Larry finally can kick a ball! After taking some really useful advices from Nick aka The Coach, he's now a terror! You've been warned. Manager approved! =)

2005-06-30T21:31:00.000+08:00

Hey, listen! Can you hear it? Can you feel it? It's back! Stress! I'm all coming back. I can slowly feel it creeping in. Nooooo!!!! Haha.. That was lame(what else can you expect from me?). SIP is gettting more stressful now. Alot of stuffs to do, and deadlines to meet. And yet, I can sleep in the lab for the whole day. Not really....but after the briefing for the SAF Rededication Day tomorrow and lunch, I went to sleep and then stoned in front of my computer. Well, at least I'm not the only one guilty of it. Larry too slept. Both of us totally had no mood to do anything today. Don't know how are we gonna pass our SIP, man! Prototype also haven't complete. :P

Ok, I have movie recommendation for you all: War Of The Worlds. This movie kick major-ass!!! The moment I saw the trailer, where the aliens killed a bunch of humans with their terrifying tentacles, I knew it was gonna be good. But not this good. I was expecting it to be like Independence Day, or any end-of-the-world scenario movie. But, I tell you, this movie made Independance Day look like child's play. Humans stand no chance against this aliens. This has gotta be one of the most scariest movies I've watched. No joke! No horror movies, released recently, had me frightened like War Of The Worlds had. If not for some parts of the movie, which really left be dissatisfied, I would have given it a 9 or 9.5 out of 10. But, I have to give this an 8.5. Save for some minor plot-holes and the ending, this is a very good movie, and it's worth every cent you paid! Got $10 to spare? Go watch War Of The Worlds.

Ok, so what's the one think I really don't like about War Of The Worlds? Read below(so highlight the paragraph below only if you want to be spoil...):

Some people don't like the abrupt ending. But many will agree on the other reason. The happy ending. Yup. So, it's a happy ending, what's not to like? Well, it's the way they delivered this happy ending. It was, too happy! Ray's son survived. Now that's damn stupid! He went over the hill to catch the battle between some military forces and those terrifying aliens. When he just went over, the whole place over the hill, was flooded with explosion. It was in flames. Flames reaching to the sky high above. How could anyone human survived that?!!! Even Ray sorta knew that his son is gone. But suddenly, in the ending, his son appeared. Out of the blue. Body parts still intact! WTF?!!! If you haven't seen the movie, this may not seem like a huge deal. But if you watch it, then it's a HUGE DEAL. I'm really not happy with the delivery of the happy ending. And I'm not alone.

Gah! Wasn't happy with Tekken today. I could have won that last game against OMEGA's Asuka today. But fuck! I whiffed one last juggle, and bam! I lost. If I've completed that last juggle, I would have won. Also, was feeling really nervous today, using Steve. Must have not been really using Steve recently. Arrgghh!!! But anyways, he has improved since the last I fought him, which was about 2-3 months ago, before he went AWOL. LOL! But, I have improved too! Now, it's more a fair fight. Unlike last time, where he's always kicking my ass whenever I use Steve; spamming the same moves over and over and throwing and countering me with reversals all over the place. Haha... Still, there's much to learn. =)

2005-06-26T14:20:00.000+08:00

Wow! I spent alot of money on Friday night celebrating Roy's birthday, at ECP's hawker centre. Even had some fun with a tennis ball on our way there(we called it, The Miracle Ball. But even the ball can't survive YC's wrath. Poor ball got kicked away from the top of the bridge...) ! Told myself not to spend more than $10, but in the end, I exceeded that limit. Haiz... Shouldn't have bought that Milo Dinosaur. It was $2. Damn expensive, man! I'm very sure I can make a more delicious, and better-looking, one! Anyways, we had some nonsensical fun at seaside after our meal. Well, what can you expect from the APSN people?! LOL!

And that was Friday night. I didn't go to Bugis for Tekken on Saturday. Instead, I went to Mizi's birthday celebration at his house. Free food! Good for people like me who left just $10 in his wallet(the reason why I didn't go for the metal gig with Joseph and You Quan). Haha! I thought they were gonna watch Batman Begins. In the end, the idea got cancelled and they decided to go China Black straight. Mizi already booked the VIP area. Everyone was "psycho-ing" Danial(the ultra-religious boy) to go even. I don't know if he joined them or not(he probably did), because I didn't go. Reason: It's Saturday night, and my dad's at home. Wasted, man! Almost everyone went. I'm sure they all had a great time. And me? I just had a bottle of sugar cane juice, I bought at the Pasar Malam, to accompany me home. :(

Now, there's something wrong with my PC. It can't detect the Ethernet Controller. And that's the reason why I'm blogging on my laptop.... -.-

2005-06-22T21:23:00.000+08:00

Whoa!!! I'm in heaven! After putting Ora-sed*jel on my mouth ulcers, I can finally close my mouth! =) Damn shiok, man! Before this, I was constantly leaving my mouth open, even while walking. I tell ya, I can even make the deadliest Venus Flytrap go brankrupt of flies, just by doing this! Haha...

Ok, 100free.com is no longer available, for God knows why, and now my little radio thing is dead. WTF? Haiz... Time to find a new server. A more RELIABLE one! 100free.com can go screw themselves!

2005-05-27T22:11:00.000+08:00

Wahaha! Finally know what kind of project me and Larry are gonna do for our SIP. We're supposed to make a robot, that can help people practice Tai Chi at home. WTF rite? But I got a bigger WTF coming soon. Wee Boon told us that, ok are you ready for this, you better be...ok here it is.....we have to learn Tai Chi! No kidding, man! I wanted to laugh when he told us that today, at the briefing. Probably just some basic movements. Not much. But, it's still WTF mate?!! Cleared alot of our doubts today. It seems that, we're just in the software development part of the team. So, that means, patching of circuits and all that, are out. We are only doing the design, testing and programming of the project. Sounds quite interesting. Hope I can have a fun time doing this project, man. Yeah, really hope...

Today finally played Tekken again. So many losses today. One of my worst days. Really need to go for intensive training! Haha... Now those casual players at Century Square, all kinda know one another. Can be really fun playing, man. Compared to a few months back. All stone-faced. LOL! Hey, who knows, maybe a new clan will be born from this.
I wouldn't bet on it.... :P

2005-05-26T20:21:00.000+08:00

Congratulations, Liverpool! For that wonderful performance at Istanbul, you deserved it. And shame on me for acting like Liverpool fan today morning, dancing around my living room when Liverpool drew level. LOL! Like the FA Cup Final, the keepers who are the one giving the team problems all the time, proved to be the hero. =)

And I still can't make the radioblog go on autoplay. WTF?

EDIT: Eh? Now this thing can autoplay by itself already. Haha!

2005-05-26T02:05:00.000+08:00

WTF?!! My 100free account terminated all of a sudden. I registered again, but only to be terminated again. What the hell?! Anyways, I've registered again. Hopefully, this time, there won't be anything wrong.

So I added a new stuff here. Radio.blog! Looks cool eh? Haha... Ok, I just randomly pick up songs from my folders and upload it. Hope you people enjoy it. What the hell am I saying? Of course you all will enjoy it! I even added in the Power Rangers theme song. GO GO POWER RANGERS!!!!! Wahaha!! Although it isn't the original version of the song. It's the metal-fied version. I'll put in the original one if I can find it again. It's been lost since I reformatted my computer last time. Oh, and the Tagboard is back. I don't know what went wrong with the previous one. It seems that it dumped me... :( LOL!

Champions' League Final is gonna start soon. I'll be rooting for Liverpool to win! Not that I'm their fan, but it's because it's fun supporting underdogs. Makes the match-watching more fun. No use hating a team, just because it's a rival of the club you support. I think it's dumb hating a team. Just enjoy the game, man! Go Liverpool! Go Liverpool! Uga chagah chagah....!!!

2005-05-24T23:50:00.000+08:00

Today quite nice. Rainy day. Quite windy. Soothing atmosphere. Good for sleeping, and reading! Haha! Very nice, man. Just love the sound of light rains coming into contact with the ground, with soft thundering in the sky. I would love to see this type of day every day, when I retire sometime. LOL! I'm still so young, and I've started thinking about retirement already. WTF?

Alright! It's now time to watch the season premiere of Boston Public on Channel 5. Ciao! ;-)

2005-05-24T01:11:00.000+08:00

Busy week man, last week. Cent Initialization camp, noticeboard duties, and carrier-donkey duties at orientation. LOL! Carried lots of stuffs, like clipboard, Mac's shirt, Willie's lunches. Well, not really alot though. But it's still too much for my skinny little arms to handle. Therefore, it was alot! Wahaha! Anyways, the mentors' shirt was nice. Nicest school shirt EVER!!! It's like a soccer jersey. Nice material too. I want it too! :(

Tomorrow's gonna be a start of a new semester in TP. But, not for me. As Seniors, doing SIP, our school officially starts next week. Bwahaha! One more week to relax, before the stress kicks in again. Robotics sounds boring. The lab looks boring. It reeks of leather smell. Yucks! Reminds me abit of my NPCC room back in my secondary school. Arrgghh!! We gotta learn new stuffs like the RABBIT program and all that. WTF is that?! C++ too. Shit! I don't know what other programming languages we have to learn. But I'm sure they won't be interesting. SIP will be the death of me. Seriously, this one's for real. Ok, maybe not... :P

Anyways, today was a pretty boring day. Can you believe it? I went to Orchard alone. Sad man, I tell ya. Just sad. Haha. All these, just because I wanted to buy a book. I'm such a nerd. Yeah, I wanted to get back to reading again. It's boring at home, with my father and niece controlling the tv during the day, and my mom and nephew at night. No time to even play PS2. Facing the computer 24/7 is making me look more like a zombie. So, I guess I should control it. And reading seems like the best choice. :)
Anyways, the book I wanted was I, Lucifer by Glen Duncan. Borders didn't have it, so I got it from NGC's Kinokuniya. I felt refreshed after seeing that book! Alas, my trip to town alone was worthwhile. LOL! And I proceeded to Bugis to meet Greg for Tekken. Hmm.... Another nerdy activity. Gah! Nerd Skills +100 for today. Level up!!!
*insert sound effects and victory music here*

2005-05-13T19:45:00.000+08:00

Shit man! I came early today to school, with Larry and Fabian. We were supposed to meet up with the people so-called in charge of our SIP project, but Victor Ng that the TSOs weren't free. We were like, "WTF?!!!". We all came to school early for nothing?! Sigh~ I wanted to stay in school to relax, but Larry really wanted to play Tekken. So I went with him. Haha... We were one of the first few customers for the arcade today. I had to leave at around 10-plus cos I have to attend our next week camp briefing by spastic-Jeremy. :P But the best thing, or the worst thing is, when I came back to the arcade at about 2-plus, Larry was still there!!! WTF?!! 2nd WTF for today. LOL! Actually, I can't blame him so much. He doesn't have a PS2 at home. :(

Anyways, I watched Kingdom Of Heaven today, with Tiong Guan, Willie and Jian Feng. Finally! Heard from alot of people that this movie has a lousy script. So, I was expecting the worst. After watching it, it isn't that as terrible as most people make it out to be. Sure, some lines are very cheesy and the character development for this movie isn't that great. But it's still a good movie to watch. Orlando Bloom's acting was so-so. Nothing particularly bad. Characters like Salahudin and King Baldwin IV is really well-played. And that king with leprosy, looked freaking cool wearing that iron mask, man! Just like a character straight out of a video game. Haha! I recommend everyone, who haven't watch Kingdom Of Heaven, to watch it.

The music for Kingdom Of Heaven is super nice too! The soundtrack is composed by Harry-Gregson Williams. No wonder! Actually I know who composed the music for this movie, but somehow, I forgot about it when the movie began. Only when I saw his name in the ending credits, did I remembered back. LOL! :P I'm gonna buy the soundtrack for sure! =)

Just a few stuffs to put up, before the noticeboard is completed. Yippee!!! Haha... Anyways, sucks man tomorrow. Have to wake up super early and reach school at about 8.30am. I'm gonna get to know the TSO, the workplace and all that shit tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not that long, cos at 11am there'll be our CENT Initialization training. And that will be held next week. We're all gonna spend one night in school! Sounds fun. :P

And I just updated the song on my blog. It's Bohemian Rhapsody by the legendary and one of the most respected rock bands, Queen. Ah...this is one of my favourite songs of all time. Hope everyone will love it too. =)

When I was on the bus ride home, TV Mobile was showing that new show about Mediacorp artistes favourite eating place in Singapore. If it's not for my super-quick reaction to close my mouth fast, my saliva would have dripped all over my seat! Seeing the show really wet my appetite. No, not because of Fiona Xie, even though she's hot. I was falling for something WAAAAAY hotter!!! The food the artistes were eating! All looked so freaking delicious, man! How I wished I can go into that tv screen and take all those delicacies.... LOL! =)

Serious, man! My appetite was so wet. I was looking forward to what my mom or sis cooked today. But when I got home, my appetite was lost. It's the same old boring dishes. :(

2005-05-09T21:48:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Finally there has been changes our CEN noticeboard! The previous board, has been taken out and now were putting in a brand new one. Haha... The background is done. Everything needs to be done by this Thursday. And I'm very sure, we can do it! That is, if Victor Ng can print the stuffs earlier, like tomorrow or Wednesday. LOL! :P

And now it's for my daily Tekken rant. Haha... My Feng got demoted to 3rd dan today. I guess I was too caught up with my newly acquired rank, that I didn't play my normal game. I was super-defensive today. Haha... Fought a good Raven today. Out of 6 matches, I only won 1. :( I need more exposure to Raven, the character that a strange moveset and a body like jelly. LOL!
And Greg's been improving quite fast, man. I won't be surprised if he's Steve will be better than mine! Serious, brother! I won't even be surprised if his Steve can beat my Feng consistently now.

Alright, time to watch Desperate Housewives! And I need to reach school early tomorrow too, cos I'm holding the key for the noticeboard for both courses, CEN and IFC. :(
I miss my beauty sleep.......... LMAO!!! =)

2005-05-08T21:16:00.000+08:00

Random surfing on the net can lead to some really good and interesting websites. And today, I found a really fucking interesting one.

http://masamania.com

It's some sort of a blog, of a Japanese guy. There are some really interesting articles he wrote about. Although his fucking English is worse than a Primary 5 student, the content is fucking good and interesting. Most of them are really fucking funny. It's a look at Japan through the eyes of a real fucking Japanese. Not some fucking wannabe. It's good for those crazy people who think that Japan is all about animes and fucking cool people. I like how he fucking criticizes his country and all. I mean, who likes the fucking country that they live in. Haha! That's natural, I guess. Humans are never content with what they fucking have. :P

Anyways, I must warn you that that Masamania site has abit of nudity. There's a picture of a topless woman on the site's fucking logo. WTF?

And you all must be fucking thinking, why the fuck am I saying so many fucks in my fucking sentences. It's cos that Japanese guy has been using so many fucks, it's a like the word "Fuck" has been engraved onto my fucking brain. LMFAO! Seriously, after reading his entries and be surprised on how many fucks he can use in his fucking sentences, you'll surely go, "what the fuck?!".

2005-05-07T22:02:00.000+08:00

Today is a typical Saturday. The only difference is that I went to Bras Basah Complex to buy some stuffs for my course's noticeboard, at Art Friends. Bought some crepe papers and vanguard sheets. I hope the crepe papers are enough to cover the whole noticeboard. Total price was $31.25. I still need to chip in my own money, and that sucks. :(

I went to check out some guitars at Swee Lee too. Alot of people say that Swee Lee has alot of variety of cheap guitars, but I think they're wrong. Yes, there were cheap Ibanez guitars, but what for? Everyone knows that those low-priced Ibanez guitars suck balls. But, there was one Ibanez guitar not that bad. It's priced at $1300, and it's red in colour. The colour I'm looking for. But it's only a 23-fret. I want a 25-fret. :(
Oh, and I met Minxiang too at the complex. He was with Yinglu inside Popular Bookstore. Yinglu is still the same, so quiet one. Haha...

I think if I went to Bras Basah alone today, I'll be bored to death, man! Luckily, Larry came along with me. He wanted to play Tekken at Bugis, so he followed me first. Haha! And today's Tekken was quite enjoyable, at least for me. LOL! There was quite a nuber of 4th dans and 5th dans, and also my Feng got promoted to 4th dan! For the first time, I'm finally in the green zone! =)
The sad thing is that, it seems that my Steve is very stagnant. Seems like I've never improve with him. It seems so hard to win matches using him. Unlike someone who started using Steve way later then me, and I'm sure his Steve is better than mine! WTF?! I remembered this guy have a high loss record when he just bought a Steve card. Now, he's already 4th dan, and trashing people all over the place! Maybe some people just learn fast, or maybe Steve isn't really suitable for me. :(

2005-05-03T01:14:00.000+08:00

Here comes an update! Mwahahaha....!!!

Labour Day was yesterday, and yet, a bunch of us need to come to school to do up a new noticeboard for my course. Really sucks, man. And you know what's worse? The noticeboard was locked, and the key's with Victor Ng. Obviously he will not be in school. Arrgghh!!! Came to school for nothing.

Also discovered that the laptop I targetted is no longer at Century Square's Best Denki. What bad luck! And I also received an SMS from Fairuz about them going to Orchard. So why not? It's been awhile since I went out with them. :)

Good news, man! Fairuz says we're gonna go SLS first, cos he's buying his keyboard. So I had a chance to find that Acer brand laptop I want. Didn't really went too well, as only 2 shops have the model I want. But at least, it's better than nothing right? :) Found out that cheque payment is troublesome too today. You can't get the stuffs straight away. Sigh~ Bad news the whole day!

But at least, what happened later, was good. Haha! Met up with the rest at Shaw Towers's McCafe. Did nothing much. Just drink and talk crap, as always. Then went upstairs to eat, and talk crap some more. LOL! What weird is that, it's a public holiday and yet, there's so little people at town. Lido looked so empty.

We had more crazy and mindless fun after that; disturbing a taxi driver sleeping, "swimming" at the Istana Park, and disturbing couples making out. Haha! It's been awhile since we had this much fun! I don't know if Alvin's big water bomb hit that one couple or not. We just saw him threw it, and all started running like lunatics that just escaped from an asylum. Running across a road with heavy traffic. Blaring of horns disturbed the quiet and peaceful night.

PS: Istana Park's pond water itches your skin and smells like pee....

2005-04-09T22:44:00.000+08:00

Another school semester ends, with me scraping through yet again. MSD was hell, but thanx to ALOT of my friends giving me notes to study(memorizing actually :-P), I managed to pass. Yup, a marginal pass. I couldn't ask for anything more... =)

Ok, so today I went for a little gaming spree, at Bugis. Spent 12 bucks at the arcade today, man! LOL! Gotta enjoy abit, cos the holidays are finally here. I was CJ800(Kelvin) from SGSB2, and Fabian today. Bloody Fabian! Abandoned me cos he went to watch movie with some girl :-( . That must be the reason why he didn't wear a cap today. Well, at least there was still Kelvin with me. I fought through many Demotion Risks and denying his promotion chances, several times, until I finally gave in. Lost twice in a row to him, and I'm already back to 1st dan. Although I did beat him again twice after that, but I couldn't retain my rank. Gah! I'll get back up again. Now, that's, in the words of Victor Ng, a TRUE STORY! Haha... And that's what makes Tekken fun, I guess... :-P

Alright, I gotta get a job. Anyone got "lobang"? I just want a job, that's it. Even if it's $4 per hour, I don't care. Please, someone, help me!

2005-04-06T13:19:00.000+08:00

Steve Fox lookalike!

Haha... When I watched Judas Priest live video yesterday, I can't help how Rob Halford looks so similar to Steve Fox of Tekken 5. Here it is:

But this is Rob many years ago, before he went bald. :-P

2005-03-31T10:12:00.000+08:00

Good morning to all! Well, as you can see, I've got nothing to do for the holidays, as I can even blog when I just woke up. Actually, this is for yesterday. But Blogger had some problems yesterday, preventing me from logging in.

Anyways, I finally moved my PS2 to the living room. So far, it's been an enjoyable experience for me playing my PS2 on a bigger TV, with higher capabilities. Tekken 5 graphics look exactly like its arcade counterpart. And this TV's sound is nice, man! Got bass some more; didn't realize this until yesterday. :-P

Ok, I found this neat picture of Dante from Capcom's Devil May Cry series. Well, it's DEFINITELY offensive to some, as it has something to do with a Nazi. Ok, here it is:

I think, officially, Dante has replaced Ryu from the Street Fighter series, as Capcom's posterboy. :-)

Oh, and I stumbled upon this yesterday. Sounds from a Russian exorcism, from this site: http://paranormal.about.com/library/bl_exorcism_recording.htm
But there's nothing special on that site. So here's the direct linkhttp://paranormal.about.com/library/media/audio/russian_exorcism.wma
Don't know if it's fake or not, but it's still creepy. Everything's in Russian here. But you can hear people chanting, and the voice of the person who is affected. I tell you, it's creepy, man! Haha... Enjoy! =)

2005-03-29T10:08:00.000+08:00

It's finally here. The holidays! Now that the holidays are here, I don't know what to do. I can't play video games all the time, as the PS2 is in the guest room. And my sis has moved back in, so she's using that room sleep during the day, as she's working at night. -.- Haiz... I'm currently thinking of moving the tv and PS2 to my room, but I don't think it can fit in my small room. Hmm... I guess I'll just move my PS2 to the living room, and play it at night. =)

First I need to get a new PS2 controller. Cos the current one is nearly destroyed by my nephew's mashing. It's still usable, but not 100%. I think the buttons had lost all of their sensitivity functions. Shit, man! I need money badly. I got alot of stuffs to buy. I can try to find a job, but what if the lecturers call in one day, and say, I have to start SIP the next day? Finish, man...

Ok, so yesterday was my last exam paper for this semester. MSD; super easy or super difficult, depending on how to look at it. Section B and Section C questions were taken straight from the exercises Victor Ng gave to us! Every single word!!! How cool is that?! But screw myself for not studying enough! I didn't memorize the pin assignments for the Secton C block diagram question. Fuck, man! Now, for the MSD paper, whether I pass or fail will depend on this bloody question. I really, really, really hope that they won't penalise alot of marks if the pin assignments and wrong.

So yesterday, after the paper, we all didn't do anything much. First we went to the arcade, as per normal. Wow! The arcade was like almost, and most importantly, there's no one playing Tekken 5 at that time. We had almost 1 hour of enjoyment, playing the game against each other. Fun stuff, man. That is before the 2nd dan Marshall Law player came. Yeah, lost a few matches against him, but then I started win. Won him a big-time, in alot of matches. And I finally retained my highest achieved rank, which is 3rd dan, fighting him. From 1st da to 3rd, in like only 3-4 matches, it even surprised me. LOL! But now, I think I deserved this rank, unlike last time. Ok, maybe I don't really deserved 3rd dan, but I at least deserved a 2nd dan. :-P

Ok, enough of Tekken 5. We went to Roy's house after that. But only me, Mac, Greg and Raj. We had fun with Fifa Street. First time playing this game, man. And so are they. You can make your players do very cool and fancy tricks just with a press of a button. Nice! Playing the game is like watching those Nike advertisements. There's no Holland team in this game. Not weird though, as we all know how selfish Holland can get on licensing. Not a bad multiplayer game. It's one of those games where you can just pick up and play. I don't think it'll be much fun if you play this game alone. Just like playing the Royal Rumble mode on WWE Smackdown games. Haha...

2005-03-25T22:25:00.000+08:00

Alright, man! Tomorrow's my first exam paper. Yeah, I know. It sucks! My exams only starts when everyone's has finished. I'm so jealous. Anyways, let's look it on the bright side. I only have 2 papers, and the final one is on Monday morning, which is MSD(I'm so gonna repeat this subject next semester). And after that, it's Tekken time!

Yeah. Gotta improve my skills, man. My reaction is so slow. Most of the time, I can see those low attacks coming, but when I move the joystick, oops....too late, I'm hit! To think of it, that's the reason why I don't play fighting games previously. But thanx to great games like Guilty Gear XX and Tekken 5, I'm getting into it now. In fact, I'm digging them right now. LOL! But I won't quit just because of my slow reflexes. I'm gonna train. Maybe I should even try goalkeeper training. But it's too risky; my skinny hands might just get ripped off from my shoulders, while catching those super fast balls. Yup yup. Ok people, it's time for me to stop crapping and start sleeping. My paper starts at 9.30am tomorrow. Don't wanna be late for my first paper...... =)

2005-03-22T21:44:00.000+08:00

Ok people! I'm back, by popular demand, to update my blog. Haha... After constant pestering by alot of people. Well, what can you say, I'm famous! LOL!

Alright, alright. Actually, I've got no idea on what topic to talk about. Exams will start this Saturday, and I haven't really started much. For CompCom, only like went through the past year exam paper and did some memorization for Chapter 1, 2, and 3. Quoting from Mr Victor Ng, "Tough, man!". For the whole semester, I attended ALL the lectures for CompCom and MSD, and yet I've learnt nothing. And I'm not the only one. Haha... I seriously don't know how I'm gonna pass these 2 subjects.

There's alot to memorize for CompCom, so I think I'll stay at home tml. Easier to memorize, especially in the wee hours, where the cats and dogs will start hissing and barking cos they saw ghosts. Haha! As for MSD, it can go and die. I don't know what's this subject is doing in Computer Engineering. Quite unrelated, and not to mention, very boring. That explains why only half, or maybe less, of the cohort, attended the weekly lectures. Lousy subject + Lousy lecturer = Lousy students

So now, I'm gonna play a little bit of Tekken 5. Gotta try a few things out, before, hopefully, going back to exam revisions. =)

2005-02-28T20:23:00.000+08:00

Phew~ I just completed painting my mask for my Arts Appreciation. Bloody hell... I seriously don't know how to design my mask. In the end, I came out with a very crappy design. I drew big smile on my mask, which include yellow teeth. The teeth looks so ugly that it looks like anything, except teeth. If I were to compare it with something, it's french fries! You'll go hungry just looking at my mask's teeth. No joke, man! Ok, enough of teeth-talking. Let's move to something else. I drew eyebrows on it too. You can say, it's a cross between The Rock's eyebrow and Kazuya's, from Tekken 5, eyebrow. Ugly too, but at least it's better than my french fries. And I drew blood coming out of the mask's eyes. Actually, this one's kinda cool-looking. And last, but not least, I painted the other parts of the face, white. This is due to my lazin.......*ahem* due to time-constraint. Well, that's it. A really silly mask, made by a silly person. My plan to make it evil-looking had failed miserably. Now, people would just laugh looking at it, thinking I made a clown mask. Hey! Clowns are scary!!! Mwahahahaha...... My plan succeeded! =)

2005-02-27T16:12:00.000+08:00

This weekend is quite nice. My nephew and niece went back to their place, and so it was very peaceful. It also means that I managed to touch my PS2 again! Yeah, didn't touch it for like a few weeks. But what's the use. I can't have serious gaming, cos school semester isn't over yet. I can't play any RPGs or anything, or else, I'll get distracted. So I played Guilty Gear Isuka! Haha... I don't like it that much, but for Robo-Ky's sake, I played it. I don't have GGXX #Reload, so Isuka was my only retreat for some Robo-Ky action. =)

And Tekken 5's not available yet in shops, so I hate to stick with Tekken 4. :-(

Right now, it's raining heavily. Woo-hoo! It's a wonderful gift for all of us here in this country. I just feel like just going outside and drench myself. But I think not, cos if I do that, I'd have to bath again. And yesterday was enough rain for me. I went to Causeway Point to buy some poster colours for my Arts Appreciation, and got caught in the rain on my way back. Actually, I don't mind if I get wet, but there was something valuble I was carrying in my plastic bag. It's the Kung Fu Hustle DVD I just bought! I sure as hell don't want to get it wet, and waste my $25 bucks. Haha... Why? Why does the rain came at the wrong time?!

Anyways, the DVD was good. It has the original dubbing, which is Cantonese. Not the Mandarin dubbing when I watched it in theatres the last time. But there isn't any good features that came along with it. It's only the movie, scenes selection, a few DVD movie trailers(crappy movies may I add), and that's all. Ok, so next week I think I'm gonna buy Spiderman 2 DVD. And after that, the LOTR trilogy. I need some movies to relax myself on Friday nights. :-)

As for my Arts Appreciation project, I seriously have no freaking idea on what to do. There is my mask-painting, collage-making, and artist presentation(which is due next week), but I've yet to do even one! I just can't think of something. Maybe it's deep inside my mind; cos if it is, then why wouldn't it come out? C'mon, man. I really need it. I need to finish it up so I can have time for my other projects. :-(

2005-02-14T20:18:00.000+08:00

Stress is piling up like no tomorrow! Damn shit... Everywhere I go, I think about school work. Sooner or later I'm gonna be a psycho, man. I'll start giving everyone papercuts with my school notes till they die! LOL! Hey, it can happen. So you people better watch yer backs.

And I've yet to start building a website for my brother's business. It's not a site, but I think he wants something like a webpage. Looks like I have to get Dreamweaver, cos you can't do much with HTML. Better start soon, man!

Hmm... At least they was some "street soccer" tournament last Friday. to ease my sufferings. LOL! Organized by Raymond, it's called the Social Life Cup 2004. Haha... Now that's one cheesy name for a friendly tournament. Raj said that this was funny cos Raymond doesn't have any social life. Haha...What the hell? Raymond have a social life ok. He just doesn't have....erm...some things...that's all... ;-)
I think, the small tournament ain't too bad. 5 teams duked it out, in league format. And my team got 4th. Yeah, yeah....we didn't do too well. But at least we didn't get last position! LOL! Hope they'll organise something like this again, which I doubt would happen... :-(

Oh, and finally. Tekken! Tekken! Tekken! It's gonna be release on 25th February! That means, just a few more weeks! Woo-hoo! Finally it's coming to PS2. I'm gonna improve my Steve Fox. You better watch out, Fabian! You better not cry! You better not pout, I'm telling you why. Steve Fox will start kicking yer ass! And I'll start learning Baek too. Cos he's just so fun to use. :-)

So people, if you're feeling down and feel like you can't stand your life anymore, just smile. Smile, smile and smile. Keep smiling. Smile like there's no tomorrow. That's the way to live your life! So smile! Smile like this guy below:

And I assure you, problems won't look that intimidating and you can conquer it! So this marks the end of our crap-talking session. Be sure to stay tune. Same time, same blog! *vanishes*

2005-01-31T18:50:00.000+08:00

Hahaha... So funny and cute......

http://www.freewebs.com/rayx/babiesgettiniton.jpg

And can someone tell me what those Chinese characters at the end means?

2005-01-30T23:05:00.000+08:00

Bloody hell, man. I tried Nick's trick in Winning Eleven 7, today. It really works! Shooting from half-field is much easier than shooting in the penalty box! It worked most of the time. And it's always nice to see the ball lobbed over the keeper, into the net. LOL! Cool trick. Wasted I only found out about it when Winning Eleven 8 is released. :-(

2005-01-29T21:35:00.000+08:00

So finally, the term break is near its end. And what have I been doing during the break? Not much, I guess. Besides the usual stoning at home, there's the CENT retreat at Aloho chalet at Pasir Ris. The name's CENT, but it's more like P01 and P02 gathering. The chalet was not what I can call, a terrific event. It's rather boring, should I say. But we still had some mindless fun, like dancing around palm tree, playing a game which is like a hybrid of soccer and rugby, but instead, it had no rules. LOL! And when it got late, I was thankful I brought my PS2 along. Played some games on it, with a few of them, while most of them are playing cards.

And besides going for the chalet, I went to Zouk(cos Graydon got free passes) on Friday night. Catch up on the guys, I should say, cos I didn't see them for like one whole term. Always busy on Fridays, can't even meet them for street soccer. Anyways, the trip was not bad, I guess. Yogen and Izwan taught me how to do the C-walk! Haha... I don't know what the hell the "C" in C-walk means, but the move's quite cool, man. Managed to get it, in like, 3-5 seconds only. Hohoho...so proud of myself. =) But the club was so packed, we walked out for a break 1 hour into it. Also cos this fat girl kept pushing Shawal and Weixiong out of the platform. LOL! But the second time we went in, we managed to find some good places. And you know what? Izwan and Yogen let loose their moves, man. Haha... Well, for me, I can't dance well. So I just follow along what they did, and did the occasional C-walk. LOL! Hey, new move I learnt ok! So must try. :-P At least, I don't abused it like Yogen and Izwan.

So now, I'm gonna TRY to change gears, and switch to study mode. Lots of projects to do. Oh man, I can feel the stress creeping in again. Yes, man. I'm gonna give my best. Finish the projects ASAP, and maybe, MAYBE, we all can relax abit after that. How sad, I can't play Xenosaga Episode 2 when it comes out on February.... :-(

2005-01-24T20:03:00.000+08:00

Yowza! I'm back! These few weeks, lazy to update, man. Got so many things to do and worry. Now, it's the term break. Yippee! Finally, a well-deserved break. Although it's just a one week break, I'm gonna spend it wisely. So, this means that I'm not gonna spend most of days this week, at the chalet. Instead, I'll just come on Wednesday afternoon and go back the next day.

Ok then, so what has happened these few weeks. Hmm... Last I know, is that I'm still UNBEATEN in Outrun 2! Yup. I've been getting in 1st position in EVERY Outrun 2 game this month. I should be given a medal for this feat, man! Haha... And my addiction to Tekken 5 is increasing every single day. Every day passed without playing Tekken 5, feels like as though you have not eaten for 2 days! My hunger for Tekken will not be satisfied, until the game is released on PS2 in March. So till that day arrive, I'm gonna keep playing Tekken 5 every time I have the chance. And it's time to pick up a new character. Maybe I'll pick Julia Chang. Playing as Steve all the time, has bored me, and of course, my opponents AKA Fabian, Larry and Greg. LOL!

Ok next topic! YES!!! Singapore has won the Tiger Cup. The most prestigious soccer tournament in South-east Asia. So, the question is: Did Singapore deserved it? In my opinion, they do! Yup. Sure, their style of play may not meet EPL standards, but at least they're one of the best in this tournament. The hardwork they all had showed is unrivalled. No other team, in the Tiger Cup, had shown such hardwork and determination, and such discipline! Many teams just fell apart, cos of their lack of discipline. Myanmar, is the best example of this. They literally gave Singapore the win! I tell ya, Myanmar should have won that 2nd leg of the semi. For 87 minutes, they played really well and disciplined. Totally different from the 1st leg match. You don't need to be smart to see that Myanmar was the better team in the 2nd leg match. But a minute of rage, had cost them the title, disappointing their die-hard fans. I'm sure they are a team to be feared, once they're disciplined. So Singapore better watch out! Don't get swell-headed after winning the tournament. There's lotsa room for improvements. And at the rate of how Singapore football team is improving, I won't be surprised if they qualify for the Asian Cup, and even do well in it! Go Singapore! And if that happens, Goal 2010 will no longer be just a dream(although Goal 2010 is already scraped :-P)...

And now what? Oh yes! I finally bought an MP3 player. It's a Creative MuVo Micro n200 256MB. Yeah, I would have gotten the Zen Touch or Micro Zen, or whatever you call it, if I had the money. But at least, I have an MP3 player. No more carrying bulky Discmans, in plastic bags, wherever I go. Now, I can slide it into my pocket! Haha! How cool and amazing is that?! Although it's kinda sad to see my Sony Discman of 5 years, become unusable. But you will always be remembered, and I'll "bury" you in your packaging box when I first bought you. It's really sad, man. Well....that's life for you. Nothing lives forever. But now, it's time to move on and look forward to my life. My life, with my new MP3 player! Onward we go! =)

Sigh~ I've finally caught up my the Naruto and Death Note manga. Naruto's Kakashi Gaiden was really a sad story. And I love it. I can't wait for the new chapter, at the end of this month. Naruto Part 2! Yup. I wonder how all the characters will look like now, now that 3 years had passed. As for Death Note, it got a little boring the last time I read, which was around Chapter 30-something. But now, woo-hoo! The story is back to its usual suspenseful storytelling! Damn! I can't wait for the new chapter! Death Note rocks! For anyone who hasn't tried reading it, you can get it at: http://www.mangadownload.net . I assure you, you won't be regretting this. The only things which I haven't caught up with is, the Naruto and Bleach anime, and Bleach manga. Movies are really troublesome to download. The files are big, so you have to wait for like 2-3 hours(ok, maybe 4 hours), just to watch 1 episode! You heard that? ONE SINGLE EPISODE! I'm behind by more than 10 episodes already, and I better download them fast before they disappear and school reopens. Arrgghhh! God, I hate school!

After this break, I'll be getting back my Term Test papers and I'm sure, I will fail most of them. Why? Simple. It's cos I didn't study. I just read through the notes. It's not like I don't wanna study, but it's because I don't know what to study. No past year papers to refer to, no helpful lecture notes, no nothing, except your friends' notes; which are not good enough. Sure, those notes can help you here and there, but it didn't help you 100%. Some stuffs are there, but we don't know if it will come out for the tests or not. No tips from lecturers even. PBL(Problem-based Learning) sux! Now I realised why no one from my course has gone to university. Cos it is freaking hard. But if they make the course I'm in, into a non-PBL course, then maybe, students from this course can go to university. Only maybe. Haha...

Ok folks, that's all for now. It's time for me to play around with my new MP3 player! ;-)

2005-01-07T21:39:00.000+08:00

Bloody hell, man! I was sabotaged by Nick during Arts Appreciation! He was picked to perform in a 15 seconds skit, and he picked me. WTF! But at least we enjoyed it. Haha... In the short skit, he was the parent and I was the teenage son, who came back late the previous night. LOL! I can't remember how many times we repeated the skit, all because Sonny Lim says so. Telling us to try different ways of acting and showing your expressions and stuffs like that. For all for you who don't know who Sonny Lim is, he acted as Elle's father in Channel 5 drama, Lightyears. So now, Nick and I, has gotten to know Elle's father! LOL! Nonsense, man... And now, we are CERTIFIED actors, COS SONNY LIM SAYS SO! LOL! It's an inside joke, so not all of you may get it. :-P During the skit we had to do, the bloody lecture theatre was so cold! I was shivering. And because I have stage fright, the shivering multiplied to dunno how many times! Haha... I think everyone in the LT can see I was shivering, like a drug addict.

And finally, today, I played Outrun 2 SP! Mwahahaha! Me, using my green-coloured F40, got 1st rank in the Time Attack ranking, driving the easiest route. And that was only my second attempt and I banged the curb several times. Maybe people don't drive easy routes. Next time, I have to practice more! So what's the significant differences between SP and the normal Outrun 2? Well, this game, from what I can see, you loses speed when drifting. Yep. And this makes the game slightly harder. I was driving the easiest route, and damn were there alot of "snake-roads"! It's like driving the medium-hard route on Outrun 2. Not that the drifting is hard, but, like what I'd said earlier, you lose speed while drifting. So now, it's hard to overtake people while drifting. Another significant change is the graphics. They are beautiful, man. So detailed. I was gawking at the scenery until I didn't realised I was driving on the grass. LOL!

Oh, and another good news for Tekken newbies aka me, Greg and Fabian. The Tekken 5 machine is going back to Century Square. So, I think by tomorrow, the machine should already be at CS. But, it's no time to play.....cos the term test is just around the corner! Yes, that's right. Term Test is just more than a week away, and the best thing is, I haven't started revising. I haven't even finished studying all the topics. Still have DSA and MSD teachings to do. And this crazy lecturer, Steven Tan, still can send me a reply for my email about DSA teaching, which reads: "Mana pergii the main Java program to run the sort method?" That means, "Where's the main Java program to run the sort method?". Haha...Crazy man, this lecturer! Some more, his Malay spelling not correct. And today during lecture, he kept talking about girls. WTF?! He's a funny character. Just when you think he can't get any crazier, he'll go and do something that will make everyone go -_- "

2005-01-01T21:37:00.000+08:00

Let's me start by saying Happy New Year to everyone! Although I must say that it really isn't a happy event this New Year's Day. Reason being that a tragedy has happened here in Asia, taking more than 100 000 lives! No matter how powerful a weapon can be made by humans, nothing can defeat the wrath of Mother Nature. And they say, you'll need military to take down the harbour! So, if you haven't offer some prayers to those unlucky victims of this disaster, take a minute of silence and do so now.

Ok. So New Year's Eve was so-so. Didn't celebrate much. Although I did went out to celebrate Yogen's birthday! Haha... He's finally 18! While everyone in town were celebrating, welcoming the new year, we had our quiet supper at a coffeeshop near Fullerton hotel. We didn't even know the new year has came. LOL! I received so many SMSes, probably by friends wishing me a Happy New Year; though I can't reply cos my handphone is spoilt. So, forgive me for not replying. :-P

Orchard road sucks, man! So many people spraying some kind of soap-thing. Damn irritating, man! A few of us felt like lighting up a lighter when some stranger started spraying that thing at us, so that the flames will burn their face! But, we didn't. Cos it could backfire and we could get ourselves burnt, and there were so many freaking policeman, and policewoman, patrolling. Security was freaking tight! There was even a squad of Special Units carrying MP5s patrolling at Boat Quay!

Singh thought we were going clubbing; he wore super-nice, man! LOL! Totally opposite of what Shawal wore! Shawal's attire was like someone going to the beach, as that was our initial plan, or rather, his plan! But it started raining, so, we went to watch Kung Fu Hustle. Great movie! Gonna buy the DVD when it's out! Also, most of them were contemplating whether or not, to go Mad Monks. Oh man, the number of lesbians were making everyone horny. LOL! Especially Raymond! All of us were in front of Mad Monks for like, half an hour, thinking. Me, with my Dick Tracy hat, looked so silly, stoning in front of the club! Haha... But in the end, all of them decided to postpone the event. And by this time, Singh had left us cos he went clubbing with his friends. What the hell, man?! He left without saying anything! Haiz... Anyways, for the whole night, Shahiran and Matin were making fun of Mats. And you know what's the ironic thing? They are Mats too! WTF! Mats are stupid. And incidents like this is enough to support my statement.

So at about around 3am-4am, a bunch of us went back to Yishun to talk some crap. Bloody Night Rider bus, so freaking hot! The whole trip back to Yishun seemed like eternity. And PSP! Ah yes, the new Playstation Portable. Ali bought it. Costs him 1000 bucks! Can you believe it?! $1000! He could have gotten himself a new computer! Haiz... It's Ali. So, I think we've all gotten used to seeing him making silly decisions. I think, we're all still waiting for him to, at least, make one wise decision. Anyways, the PSP was quite nice. Graphics were better than the PSOne. It has an MP3 player and you can store your photos in it. I forgot what other functions were there. So, maybe I'm thinking of buying it when the price drops, which I believe it will drastically. And then Ali can go do his cliched into his, "Oh shit, why did I make a silly mistake?!" action! LOL!

And after some talking cock session with the guys, I went home. Reached back at around 6am. I couldn't take it anymore, man. I was so sleepy; the first thing I did was got changed, took off my contacts and jumped straight to bed. My bed feels so nice! I love my bed! =)

Music recommendation: Onmyouza

2004-12-26T20:48:00.000+08:00

Fans of both rock and metal, you gotta check this band out: Onmyouza. It's a 5-piece Japanese rock/heavy metal band. Heard from people that this is a great band; so I, always curious, decided to find some of their songs. I tell ya, it's hard finding their songs, man! I can't even find their songs at P2P file sharing programs. They're an indie band, so I guess you're surely to encounter this problem. :-P

So after some time trying, even though I should have been doing my teaching notes, I finally found a site that has all their songs from their Houyoku Rindou album! And yes, they're are good. Half of the songs in this album are heavy metal while the rest are rock and there's even one ballad. Here's the link:
http://hide.blog.onet.pl/2,ID378687,index.html

Here's some of the songs I recommend:

Homura no Tori
Houyoku Tenshou
Kirin
Nue
Sougenbi
Omokage

Homura no Tori and Houyoku Tenshou are basically the same song(same as in Homura no Tori is the 1st part, while Houyoku Tenshou is the 2nd part); I've got no idea on why they separated the intro and the main song. This song, Kirin and Sougenbi are heavy metal. Nue is a 10-minute rock song, with a face shredding guitar solo somewhere in the middle(*starts to mosh*). Cool song! And Omokage is a power metal song; sounds abit like Judas Priest, which is good! =) Also, you may find the high-pitched voice of this band's vocalist hard to get into. But you'll surely get use to it. Then you will realized that she has quite an amazing voice. True story, man! No kidding. Also, I find my recommendations abit bias as I'm a metalhead, so of course I prefer the metal songs over the rock songs. But the rock songs are good too, and worth listening.

2004-12-24T23:00:00.000+08:00

First, I wanna wish all Christians a Merry Christmas! Haha... Yeah, today had a little party going on after school. Had some Canadian Pizzas, a few games of GGXX#R on Willie's laptop and some brainless fun on a condom! It's really a WTF event. A condom filled with sparkling water is like a grenade with it's pin taken off. Nick even have the guts to put the water-filled condom on Willie's laptop. I tell ya, if it were to burst, it's Bye-Bye to that laptop, man! Haha...

I was greeted by a phonecall, when I reached home, about cancelling the trip to the cinema to watch Kung-Fu Hustle. Chee Jian said that Ban watched it already. Haiz... So I was stoning at home, not a single idea on what to do; since even our weekly street soccer meeting was also cancelled. But Chee Jian called again to tell me that they all were going to the arcade nearby. So I decided to join them since I obviously got nothing to do! I didn't even mind that that arcade is a lousy one, with games like Virtua On which have been there since I'm was in primary school! But, at least it has Tekken 4. Had a few games, trying hone my Tekken skills abit. I'm sure the game was set on the Medium difficulty, since it was kinda easy to complete.

There's a "sleepover" at Rozhikin's house tonight, but I'd rather stay home and stone. I want my sleep, which I've lost for the whole week. Friday night is for relaxing! LOL! I'm also still contemplating on whether to buy an MP3 player or a new handphone. I think, I'll probably pick MP3 player, as I won't be able to use my Sony headphones to listen to MP3s on my handphone. Yeah, I know....it's a really lame reason. :-P

And here's a funny flash to lighten up everyone's mood; it's Christmas related. But I warn you, it may be offensive to some:

2004-12-22T22:09:00.000+08:00

Today is Wednesday. And Wednesdays are good, cos there's Arts Appreciation class! Haha... Today there was some phantom mime thing, we have to do. I was the unlucky one to be picked to be the first person to get his face painted. Bloody hell! Stressful, man... Not to mention, it's quite ticklish when my face was painted; had to hold my laughter. The end result; I looked like someone from a black metal band! I didn't look like a mime that much. I'm supposed to look funny, not sinister. WTF! After the lesson was over, it took a long time for most of us to clean up our face. Linda said it would be very easy to be cleaned, but in fact, it's the opposite! Even after about more than 20 minutes of cleaning, the face paint wouldn't disappear completely. So, I had to walk around the school, looking gothic; with the pale face and black eyeliners. I didn't like it very much, cos I don't want people calling me a poser. I was rubbing my face really hard all the way to the bus-stop, and by the time I reach home, it's barely noticable... Phew~

I don't know what's wrong with my 100free account. I can't access the FTP. And I think that's the cause of my background music not playing.

2004-12-21T21:57:00.000+08:00

Who's the clever one that said there's class teaching for CompCom today?! Bloody hell! Valuable time was lost today, man. I could have done the other lab work. See now? Monday we need to stay back and complete it. Haiz...

Anyways, there's no more Tekken 5 at Century Square. They moved the machine to Bugis. I don't think I'll be going there regularly to play. First reason, it's too far. Second reason, there's too many pros there. And it's $1 per game there! This is crazy. Well, maybe I'll go there once in a while; maybe some of the days that classes end early, since it's only one bus ride to Bugis from TP. LOL! But looking at the schedule, I don't think I'll be ending lessons early. So much to do, so little time... Argh! I need my Tekken 5! We need our Tekken 5! I know all good things will come to an end, but don't you think it end a little too early? :-P

2004-12-19T22:02:00.000+08:00

It's more than 1 week since I last updated. Why didn't I update? Simple. It's cos I've got nothing to update. I'm sure no one wants to hear me say what I did for the whole day, like for example, I wake up today, ate Mee Goreng for breakfast......stupid traffic jam, came to sch late....lunchtime met with Person A and B, talk cock, we ate Chicken Rice......yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah.... It's boring rite? I might as well keep a diary or a logbook! But unfortunately, that's the case for most blogs nowadays. That's why most blogs are boring to read nowadays. Although, I myself, is guilty of it sometimes. :-P

There's a gig yesterday, but didn't go for it. I was just too busy doing the teaching notes and and getting ready for presentations. Wasted, man. The bands' lineup for yesterday's gig was way better than last week's gig. Oh well. It's time to get back to my work; gonna finish up on one tiny part.

Singapore's Angela Gossow is finally found!!!

2004-12-11T23:12:00.000+08:00

Today's gig at Planet Paradigm was, abit disappointing. Only about 3 or 4 good bands. But at least I got a free drink and a promo cd. Greg's friend, whose band, Jana Cova, played for today's gig, was actually someone I know! Haha.... He lived on my block. Went to the same primary school even! And his band was quite awesome too. Their female vocalist looks and sounds like Angela Gossow, man; minus the blonde hair and height. Heck, she even sings better than Angela! Well, growl to be more exact. :-P They played a bunch of Arch Enemy's songs, a Carcass's Heartwork and only one original song. Kinda disappointing they only played one original song, but who can blame them....it's their first performance. Hope I'll be seeing more of them in the near future. Alright, I think, one band of the brutal death metal genre, called Flesh Disgourged-or-something-like-that, is no doubt, the best band of the gig. Their music is not really my kind, but it's good for moshing. So yeah...moshing was awesome. I think Greg only stood by the side of the pit, cos he was kinda scared. LOL! But at least me, You Quan and Joseph had one helluva good time, kicking and punching people around! Almost everyone was in the mosh pit, when this band played, so the atmosphere was really terrific. \m/

2004-12-08T19:39:00.000+08:00

School finally started this week. Fuck man! Sch is so boring. But at least today's a good day. Firstly, there's only to subjects only today. 3 hours of lab and 1 lecture. Didn't learn much. Just alot of slacking as usual. Haha... Then tried out Tekken 5 today. 2 tokens just for one game. A bit expensive, if you ask me. But it's a new game, so can't really blame it. Thought about using Hwoarang at first, but then saw the new characters. Felt like using them. But thinking again, I don't wanna waste my money, so I used the boxer, Steve Fox! Yeah, man! So I started playing. The game's not that bad. Quite easy. Erm...Maybe not. But at least it's easier than Tekken 4. So I finally reached the final stage, but before I nearly got beaten by Craig Marduk. Suddenly someone challenge me. Maybe he thought that if I can get to the final stage, I'm worth a fight. LOL! Serious, man. This is the first time I see someone challenging a person who just reached the final stage, of a game. So that's surely the reason. He picked Lei. But in the end, he lost to me. I won 3-1, or 3-0. I forgot. :-P Scared me. I thought he was good, but it turned out, we are around the same skill level. He smiled at me after the match, indicating it was a good game, so I smiled back. Very hard to find friendly players like him. So, after that impromptu challenge, I was back to the final stage. Surprisingly, the boss was quite easy too. You just had to put the pressure on him. But I still lost. Know why? I don't know how to block his unblockable attack. -.-
But I just realized just now, I could just side-step. Haiz... Stupid me. And another reason I lost was, there's so many people watching me play. I can't handle this type of environment very well, man. Everybody is staring at you, paying attention to your every move, in-game and out-game. Bloody hell! But overall, Tekken 5's quite enjoyable. I think, maybe I've discovered how to tricked the AI of the game. Make the AI think that you're attacking them, then block low. After you've block the low attack, counter it. Haha... It's just a theory. Maybe I'll play some more, before I can prove if this really works. =)

And today's last lesson was, Arts Appreciation. What can I say about it? Arts Appreciation rocks!!! It's better than Sociology, and also it has no exams! Woo-hoo! Roy also made a fool outta himself when he accidently came into my class. His class was just across my room. Haha...Now, about my class, they're a bunch of funny people man! I'm so glad I got into this class. Got to know a mat rep today. Funny fella lah. And there was also Nick's secondary sch friend.....I forgot his name. :-P He was so funny when he acted as the fairy godmother in a cinderella skit. He did some funny ballet dance for his intro. I didn't expect someone big like him, could do something like that! Besides him, like I've mentioned before, there's alot of funny people; including a girl who can't sit properly, a guy who looks like a character from the Bleach anime, a minah, a bunch of PRC students, and a guy who looks funny in any action he do. Ok, after the initial self-intro, there's a few ice-breaking activities, and after that we got to do some mini skits, including a silent cinderella skit. We have to act out our part without saying anything. So our action really needs to tell the audience which character we are playing, without telling them. Haha.... It was so funny! The lecturer told us out class is doing Performance Arts first(so more skits coming!), then next term we're doing Visual Arts. I looked at the schedule, and one of our assignments for Visual Arts is creating masks. Dunno if it's gonna be interesting or not....

2004-12-04T19:43:00.000+08:00

I remembered, about six months ago, before the start of the semester, I was playing Shadow Hearts at about halfway thru. Now, before the start of this new semester, I'm playing Shadow Hearts: Covenant halfway thru. Haha... I think I won't be playing it during the semester, cos I know I WILL be busy. No time for games, man. Just study and study. Projects and projects. Stress, stress, and and more stress. So, it seems I'm only able to play it once the semester is over. Just the same case as when I was playing Shadow Hearts. The first one.

Actually, I think I am able to complete it before sch reopens, if Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater wasn't released last week. Yeah, man. MGS3 is a masterpiece! Hideo Kojima delivered again. This game kept me hook for the whole week. Not only the was gameplay good, but the story is one of the best I've experienced. And most of the events that happened in this game really put a lot of high-budget action flicks to shame. I'd never imagine that the story of Big Boss would be so emotional. Enough praising of the story! I better stop before I blurt out some spoilers. :-P
Now about the gameplay, now Snake can do alot of things other than the 3-hit combo and chokehold, which we are all used to thoughout the series.. Now you can threaten the guards using your knife, use them as a shield to protect you during gunfights, and viciously slash their throats. Snake never look so badass. Haha... And also, this game has one of the longest boss fight to appear in a game. It's a sniper battle between you and one of the main villains. What makes this battle long and hard, is because your battle takes place in a forest. The WHOLE forest. And it doesn't help that this sniper you're fighting is wearing a camo which blends him to the forest. So, can you find him before he finds you? Can you kill him, before he kills you? It took me slightly more than 1 hour to beat him. I've heard of people going as long as 3 hours to beat this guy. And I've also heard of people beating him in just a few minutes. Haha... This is truly an epic battle. Well done Mr Kojima! It's another game which will go down in video game history, as one of the best games ever made. =)

While playing this game, I can't help myself from thinking how The Boss look so similar to Cate Blanchett. Here, take a look at this:

Oh! And another interesting link. May be old though, but it's for those who don't know about it. Go here: http://www.mycoolcareer.com/bio/bio_hayterd.html
It's radio interview of the screenwriter for both X-Men movies, and voice of Solid Snake, David Hayter! Yeah. It's the legend himself! Haha... I find it amusing that he even talk in Solid Snake's voice, in one part of the interview. =)

Finally updated.....and with a new quote to boot!

2004-11-30T02:32:00.000+08:00

School is re-opening soon, and it's time to review myself and the goals I've set myself to do before the holidays started:

Get a job = FAIL
Get a good quality guitar = FAIL
Get an MP3 player = FAIL
Buy Weight Gainer = FAIL
Gaining weight = More like losing weight.....so FAIL

Academic Status: J00 PHAILED in LIFE!!!!!

At the beginning of my holidays, it was kinda fun. Being able to do things you're not able to do during the school semester. But then things started going crappy. First; tv spoilt. Then, handphone spoilt, cos I dropped it on the floor. Just last week, my spectacles was accidently stepped by someone. And worst of all, computer got infected by a stupid spyware, which can't be get rid off. Tried re-formatting my comp, but encountered problems.....until tonight. Thank God!

Talking with Chee Jian today, made me think of the 5Cs of a teenager nowadays:
(C)omputer with (C)able modem,
(C)hio Bu, (C)ash, (C)ar

I think, if a teenager don't have at least one of these 5Cs, they will (C)omplain. A teenager without computer is as good a blind teenager. Cash is a really important C. Cos if you've got no cash, there's no enjoyment. You can't go out with your friends for a movie or drink, and such. That's one of the main reasons why I stayed at home during the holidays, except for playing soccer. And chio bu; everywhere we teenagers go, need to have chio bus. For example, everytime you wanna go somewhere, then someone in the group would always say something like, "Eh, dun go that place ar.....go Starbucks lah. Got alot of chio bu leh. Some more, the waiter quite hot." Don't lie and say this never happen to you guys before. Believe it or not, chio bus are a vital part of our life. Haha....

Also, these few days, I kept thinking, I shouldn't waste my teenage years. Our teenage years, like most people say, are the best period of our lives. It won't last forver, and you should enjoy every moment of it. Be wild, cos you're never gonna have a chance to do all these things ever again, once you are working and already have a family. Yeah man. Maybe I should be more wilder! Haha.... Yeah, maybe I should join the guys for clubbing these few days. They're always urging me to go.

It's 3am in the morning, and I'm blabbering nonsense like nobody's business. That's so not like me. Cos I sprout nonsense 24/7!!! LOL!

2004-11-16T21:46:00.000+08:00

Fuck it, man! I can't buy an MP3 player already. Damn. I should get richer after Hari Raya, but I just got poorer. My mom just borrowed a few hundred bucks from me, cos short of cash, and she said she'll pay back by the end of the month. Haiz... By then, Creative Sale will be over. Oh well, there'll be other time. It's not like there's only one Creative Sale. Who knows....maybe I can even afford to buy the 5GB MP3 player, later on. Ahha! It could be a blessing in disguise! Anyhow, even if I have that much money, I won't throw it all away just like that. I got other things to buy(like a new handphone!). So, anyone knows when's the next Creative Sale?

Ok, so my cousin showed me this site yesterday, http://www.urbanfreeflow.com . It shows the art of Trackour. You've all watch Yamakasi right? It's like that. Jumping around, jumping from buildings to buildings, walking on handrails....and all those other extreme stuffs. It's cool stuff, ya! I think this may be the extreme sport(if you call it that), that suits me! LOL! It really looks fun, man. Download a few vids, and these pros walk on railings like it's the flat ground. And they said that it's one of those essential techniques for PK-ing. And maybe these few days, you'll see me on the front page of the local newspaper........an article reading, "Teenager falls to his death trying to PK". LOL! I'm just cursing myself. :-P

2004-11-15T20:04:00.000+08:00

So the month of Syawal has arrived. First day of Hari Raya Aidilfitri was damn tiring, man. First went to my grandma's house, and then returned back home. And that's when almost all of my relatives came. Yeah, almost. If all of them had come, finish man! My father got 12 other siblings, and counting their families, and their sons and daughters' families. All that equals to stress! Never mind, at least there's Nasi Briyani to eat. Haha! I'm gonna try to gain weight............again! =)

Creative sale is this weekend. I'm gonna buy an Mp3 player...AT LAST! Haha... I don't think I'll be buying RAM, cos it's really unnessary for my computer. First, I don't use my PC to play games. And two, I only use my PC to surf the net, do school projects and listen to songs(no hi-fi system...:-( ). Yeah, so gotta buy what I need, rather than what I want. I also have to buy another PS2 memory card, cos my current card is running out of space; and gotta buy another controller for my PS2. I think, would be buying the PS1 controller, cos it's cheaper. This controller is really NECESSARY, cos seeing how my nephew uses my current controller, it's gonna be broken really soon, if I don't get a new one. This one is ONLY for his use. Maybe I'll invest on an arcade joystick, if I have some money left.

Boys and gals! I'm selling my Counterstrike: Condition Zero. Anyone interested, just contact me! You can e-mail me, call me, or write on my tagboard. Whichever way is fine. =)

Fuck it man! Tried out a new copy of Star Ocean 3, and I still encountered the same problem! My game always freezes when entering a battle. Haiz... Gotta wait for Fabian to finish this game, and then I shall borrow his copy. Maybe this weekened, I'm gonna go back to the shop to exchange the game again. I will not stop till I get a working copy of this game! I have to complete this RPG before playing other RPGs.

What's so special about this famous Boon Lay Nasi Lemak, man?! Almost everyone is raving about it, when it opened a stall at the Woodlands's Bazaar, this month. My mom's friend told her it was really delicious. So, she asked me to buy it her. Ok. So I went today; saw quite a long queue. It was expected. Then I joined the queue, only to turn around a few minutes later, to see the queue line had tripled! WTF?! Maybe even more!.... Wah! Even non-Malays know about this Famous Nasi Lemak! So I guess, it must be really, really good. Oh boy, I can't wait to get a taste of this! I bought several more of this Nasi Lemak, for myself. Bought 4 packets. That equals $10. That means, $2.50 each.
So, when I finally get a taste of it when I reach home, I asked myself, "What's so good about this Nasi Lemak?" Really! This Nasi Lemak is delicious and all, but it's nothing special though. It has the exact same taste as the one I sometimes eat at my local market. Utterly disappointed, was I. I think this piece of Nasi Lemak, is OVERRATED! I don't think I'm gonna queue up again to buy this, unless my mom ask me to buy it for her. Haiz... I think many people follow other blindly. You might go around selling, "The FAMOUS Steamed Shit". It just takes a few people to say it is delicious, and you've got yourself thousands more of customers. Humans don't like to be left out, so they'll always follow people, even if sometimes they know that what they're doing is wrong. In this case, they'll say that this famous steamed shit is good, even though they know that it's SHIT! *Bleahks*

Anyhow, saw You Wei today, on the bus ride home. He was with his brother. I now then realised that You Wei has really bushy eyebrows, man! It's as though that he can just kill you with those eyebrows of his! Mwahahahaha!!! LOL!

2004-11-08T20:32:00.000+08:00

Supposed to play basketball today, but didn't. Cos I was fasting, and Rozhikin is terribly sick. Actually, I don't mind, if it's in the afternoon. But they wanted to play at noon. Siao sia, they all! In the end, went to Chee Jian's house to play Magic. Haha... You heard that right. Yeah, play Magic cards. God knows how long we haven't even touch our Magic cards. Only me, Chee Jian, Yun Bing and Wei Chao played today. Don't know why the others didn't turn up. Yun Bing and Wei Chao really got nothing to do, man. Came here all the way from Malaysia, just be play Magic. WTF? Today, not so bad. Can win alot of games, using my bloody lingkun decks! LOL! Don't know why. Perhaps luck was on my side today.

And this Saturday, they asked me to play bball. WTF man? I'm not free. It's the eve of Hari Raya. Got alot of stuffs to do. Aiyah... Everytime, they play basketball, I'm always not free one. Never mind lah, at least I still can play soccer on Friday. =)

2004-11-07T22:20:00.000+08:00

Bloody fuck! My freaking handphone is spoilt! I accidently dropped it, and it landed on the part with the largest surface area. Don't know whether it hit the floor, screen first or back first, cos it was in my holder. The sound it made when it hit the floor, was just a soft thud. But the damage was HUGE! I can only see 1/20 of the freaking LCD now. So, you people better don't send messages to me. And when you call, please tell me who you are, first of all! If you don't do as what I've told, I'll simply end the call. Haiz... Maybe I won't even bother to switch it on.

Now gotta send it to Nokia Care, and see what they can do with it. Hopefully can be fixed back to 100%. If not, I'll have to spend more money buying a new handphone. Bad luck man, these few days. First, it's the TV in my house, then it's my Star Ocean 3 spoilt, now my handphone. What next?! My head?! Hopefully something good happen soon. I won't even mind Manchester United winning in the match later tonight. I don't have high expectations. :-P

Song update: Snow Bound by Arch Enemy

2004-11-07T17:21:00.000+08:00

Just changed the song on my blog. Hope you all will enjoy it! =)

2004-11-07T01:15:00.000+08:00

Stupid Star Ocean 3 failed me on Disc 2! Bloody hell! Now I have to go back Tampines to exchange for a new copy. So troublesome sia...

Went out with Izwan, Raymond, Shawal, Graydon, Imran and Singh, to do some shopping at Orchard today. Singh parted later on, cos he was having a date. Kept asking us which is cheaper, Pasta Mania or Pasta Fiesta. Haha... Anyways, I didn't shop much lah. Just bought 2 new shirts. Gonna buy a few more before sch reopens, man. All of us realized, that mats nowadays got fashion sense sia! It seems that tapered pants are out for them, man. Now they like to shop at surfs shops sia. Haiz... It's getting harder and harder everyday to detect those fucking mats.

And I didn't realized that there's a shop in Far East Plaze selling metal CDs, until today. Went passed the shop today, saw a new Marilyn Manson new album on the shelves. So I was thinking, must be some shop selling Nu-metal stuffs. Then, one poster attracted me. It was a Dimmu Borgir poster. So I went in. They were playing Arch Enemy's new EP on their radio, or CD player, or whatever you call it these days. And so I took a chance and asked whether one of Arch Enemy's previously released album, Wages Of Sin, is in stock. Surprise surprise! Yes it was! Woo-hoo! And it was cheap too! $26.90. Haha... $3 cheaper only. But still, it matters to me. It really matters when you are seriously low on budget. LOL! Now I know a few shops selling metal Cds; one in Far East, one in Peninsula Plaza, and one in Queensway. And not to mention, the temporary shops set-up during metal gigs. :-)

2004-11-03T01:50:00.000+08:00

Today was quite fun. Went for chalet at Changi. Kind of a last minute thing. It's not really a "chalet outing" lah. Didn't BBQ anything. Just went there to talk crap and play PS2. Wasted I can't stay overnight, man.

I tell you, the chalet is big! There's 2 living rooms, 1 dining room, 1 kitchen, 1 bedroom and 1 toilet in the 1st floor. 2nd floor, there is 4 bedrooms each having a toilet, 1 living room and 1 dining room. It was the first time staying at Changi chalet, so I was surprised at how big this chalet is. Pleasantly surprised! Haha...

Playing Naruto: Narutimate Hero 2 was fun lah. But wasted only me and Fabian, know how to play it. The rest were first-timers in this game. I think I won Fabian 3-2. Or was it 3-3? Ah... I forgot. The battle between Kisame and Gai is far from over, man! Haha... Then when on to play Guilty Gear XX. It was boring lah, cos of the controllers. It's spoilt. The controllers can't be use to play fighting games. And it doesn't help, that we just played the Naruto game before this. So I kept pressing the "X" button, thinking that my character would jump. -.-

Our unit is located very deep inside ar. So, the pathway leading to it is super-scary. Hey, it's true, man! Greg even asked Fabian to accompany him sent Jessica home. Cos if no one accompany him, he would have to walk back to the chalet, ALONE! Haha... And one very damn funny incident occured: Greg flagged down a taxi, which was nearby. He asked the driver if he is taking any passenger. But the driver said that he already had a passenger. Greg was confused. So he looked thru the window again; and then he saw this teeth at the back seat of the taxi. It was the teeth of an Indian man!!! Seems that that Indian guy was smiling. Haha... That guy must be thinking, "Haha! I'm so dark, he can't even see me!" LOL! All of us laughed out heart out, man! Seriously, we can't even see there's a passenger in the back seat! He was so dark! LOL. Damn funny sia!

On the taxi ride home, the driver told us some ghost stories lah, about Changi chalet. Not bad ar. I love these kind of stories. Haha... And also, the driver thought that I was a Chinese. He said my face looked like a Chinese. WTF?! My skin so dark. And it's not the first time this happened. This happened so many times. What the hell, sia? If ppl mistook Andrew for a Malay, I can understand. But me? Where got look like a Chinese sia? Haha... The next thing, you know. Ppl would mistake Raj for an angmoh! O_O

2004-11-01T03:01:00.000+08:00

Nearly month of holidays have gone by. Now, I think, my goal of buying an electric guitar has failed! FISSION MAILED! I think, if I really wanted it, no matter what, I will find a job. Any job will die, as long the pay's good. Heck, I would even work as a waiter. But, in the end, the lure of playing games throughout the holidays was too hard to resist. And also, fasting month can be a problem. How can I give 100% to my employer if I myself is not 100%? Err....that sounded wrong. You know what I meant right? Haha...Ok, good. :-P
No choice ar...maybe I'll find a job at one of the factories near my house, to earn some extra $$$.

My aunt was also admitted into hospital, few weeks ago. She had a, dunno what kind of growth in her heart. The growth was the size of a soft drink can. Pretty scary, huh? Doctors said that it's quite an uncommon disease. Very few people get it. She was taken out of the ICU a few days ago, but re-admitted back on the same day. My father joked to my mom, that it must be the porridge she gave her. Haha... Hey, it could be true, man! No laughing matter.

These few days, I've been thinking; a job as a nurse, isn't that bad. Nowadays, nurses also have standard already sia. And their pay aren't bad either. Last time, most of us were shocked, even laughed when Joseph said he's in Nursing course in NYP, cos we thought he was joking. I think, in a few years time, I think he'll be the one laughing. His O'levels results were better than most of us, yet he chose Nursing. If you're a nurse, I've heard, it's quite easy to get a job, be it in a hospital or a polyclinic. Hmmm...... *Imagines a nurse*..........*Joseph face appears!* ARRRRGGGHHH!!!!!! *shudders*

2004-10-26T22:30:00.000+08:00

Yeah... I'm gonna update my blog now! Woo-hoo! -_-

Haha...ok. Nothing much happened for the week lah. Lemme see. I bought some new games. Got back my exam results. Bought another game. Play games at home, alone. Play games at home, with Chee Jian. Going to school for nothing. And, I bought a thumbdrive. A 256MB thumbdrive. Bought from Wei Yan's friend, for $59. Not bad. Quite cheap. Now, there's no need to save my projects into a blardy diskette, nor do I need to upload my projects onto my server. Cos now, I have a THUMBDRIVE!!!! Mwahahahaha...!!! *ahem* *ahem*

Yesterday, I was playing Star Ocean 3(hehe....just bought it). Entered a dungeon, spent about an hour...no, maybe maybe more...no, I think nearly 2 hours....arrgghhh! I forgot lah. Ok, so I played. Until my character's MP when low. Didn't use my item to restore it when it was running low, thinking MP is nothing. Useless one. And then, there's this freaking monster who sucked up my MP dry. And the next thing I know is, seeing the "GAME OVER" screen. NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! So I started cursing and swearing. WTF man! I didn't know MP=0 = Game Over. Gahhh.... Hate it when this happens. Luckily I loaded my save, and managed to complete the dungeon by 4am; before my mom start shouting, "OIEE!!!! GO AND SLEEP LAH!!!"

These few days alos, Chee Jian keeping coming over to my house. His comp got virus infection, so can't use IE or any Internet-based programs. So he need to come over to do his work and stuffs. At least I got someone to talk cock with, man. And got someone to play games with. Haha. =)

And I'm supposed to register for Basic Theory on Monday. But.....but......aiyah. In the end, kena bastard. Dunno go school do what also. -.-

2004-10-20T22:53:00.000+08:00

Whoa man! I just started reading a manga called, Death Note. Heard many great things about this manga, man. But I just couldn't find it anywhere on the net, until yesterday. So I read, and read........and read. Wow! All I have to say is, this story rocks! It's so original sia. I'm not good at describing, so here's the synopsis:

Death Note follows the story of a boy who discovers a means to
easily kill people and his desire to use this power to rid the
world of evil, creating a "better world" of his choosing. This
boy, called "Kira" by the rest of the world, meets his match in
an equally brilliant and mysterious figure, called "L," who
makes it his mission to discover the identity of Kira and punish
him for his crimes. The story weaves itself around the
manipulations of both of these characters as each tries to
finish ahead of the other in a struggle between the preservation
of humanity as it is and the creation of a new humanity
controlled by Kira.

Yeah, I know. The story may seem very cheesy, but I assure you, the story is top-notched! In this story, the main character is the antagonist, not the protaganist. The protaganist part is played by another character. There's no over-the-top action sequences here. Instead, there's a lot of talking. Yes. Lots and lots of it. It's great to see this Kira and L, have a battle of wits. And it's also really interesting and intriguing to see these 2 people, trying to outsmart each other. You can download the manga at http://www.mangadownload.net , or you can simply ask me for it! =)
This manga should be made into a book, man! If Hollywood stumbled into this and decide to make it into a movie...it'll sure be a hit at the box office! Haha!

Wouldn't it be great to have that kind of power? The power to end life at will. Wouldn't it be great to just kill all the Mats, Ah Bengs and all other social parasites?

2004-10-19T22:33:00.000+08:00

Yeah! Finally completed Shadow Hearts. Overall, I think the game's pretty average. Well, maybe above-average. Haha... But still, the game is quite fun. The Judgment Ring system, though really frustrating at times, is an innovative feature in the game. I like it! Well, it's time to buy some new games. Lots of new games have been released. Really don't know which to buy first, cos I'm really short on money at the moment. Ok. Time to decide!

Tony Hawk's Undergound 2 - The first game was really fun. Had a blast playing it. Has lots of humour, which kept me entertained. And that's what this new installment promises. So, after reading the reviews, many reported that since THUG1, nothing much has improve in this game. The major improvements are the Create-A-Park feature; which added many new functions to assist you in making your dream skate park. Meh. Never been a fan of the Create-A-Park feature. Other than that, graphics has taken a slightly cartoony appearance. Guess I've got no problem with that. And lastly, many said the story is rather, boring. Hmm... I dunno. Still can't decide whether or not to buy this game.

Def Jam Vendetta 2: Fight For NY - Compared to its predecessor, this game is more like a fighting game than a wrestling game. Gameplay is a little arcadey. Many reviewers reported that it's just a wrestling game without rings. And also this game tries too hard; that it dunno whether or not to be a wrestling game or a fighting game. Hmm...Ok then. I'll skip this one. The MTV rappers which appear in this game, is not gonna help me change my mind.

Star Ocean 3: Till The End Of Time - Absolutely love Star Ocean 2. Always have been a fan of Tri-Ace games, like Valkyrie Profile and Star Ocean 2. Although I've heard that the story in this game is rather sucky, but the gameplay more than makes up for this shortcoming. This game promises hundreds of hours of gameplay(I'm gonna believe that, since Star Ocean 2 clocked me around 70-80+ hours of gameplay, and that is WITHOUT going for most of the subquests.) Haha! Yes, of course I'm gonna buy this game! Have been waiting this game for more than a year!

Shadow Hearts: Covenant - Aha! The sequel to Shadow Hearts. Much has improved since the first game. Graphics and gameplay has made a huge improvement. Even the story is better! Well, that's what most reviewers reported. Unfortunately, the songs in this game is still pretty average. But that's not gonna stop me from buying this game. Haha... A definite buy!

Other then those games mentioned, I really don't know what other games have been released. Haha... Didn't keep myself updated lah. :-P
Also, I know that Need For Speed: Underground 2 is coming out soon. So yeah. Maybe I'll grab that one too! :-)

2004-10-18T01:11:00.000+08:00

Haha... Have been stoning at home these few days. I either play video games on my PS2, or surf the net. Sounds boring? Believe you me! It's waaaay more fun than going to sch, or doing some *beep* sch projects! Also, my nephew and niece, are staying over at my house. So, at least I have some company at home, and got someone to crap with. Haha...

Today, I got nothing to rant about lah. So today's entry will be short. And TM called me juz now, while I was breaking my fast, to tell me that we're all gonna catch a movie tml afternoon. Sheesh! No better timing ar Ming? Can't I have my meal in peace?! LOL. If people are always disrupting me while I'm having my meal, how to gain weight sia?

NTUC didn't call me last Friday. Haiz... Oh well. No job. I think maybe it's a sign that I'll be taking supp papers. God must be saying, "Aiyah.... You find job also useless. You're gonna take supp papers anyway. If you take a leave during your job, to take your supp papers, the employer probably will fire you on the spot. So might as well I don't give you a job." Haha... Hey, it could be true, man!

Wah, I thought this was gonna be a very short entry, but I was wrong. Haha! Anyways, gotta complete playing Shadow Hearts by the end of this month and go buy some new games, and maybe I will try finding a job again. Haiz... I really need money! How I wish that $1000 would just dropped from the sky.....

2004-10-15T01:45:00.000+08:00

OMG! The fasting month is coming! The holy month of COMPLETE abstinence! No eating or drinking, no smoking, from dawn till dusk. Also, no sexual acts or anything that can turn you on, this whole month ar. So all of you who are married, no sex arh. All those who are attached, no hanky-panky with your girlfriends or boyfriends arh. LOL. And all of you who are very "colourful" in your languages, better stop all your pukimak-ing, fuck-ing, CB-ing, etc, arh. Well, at least for a month. Haha.... Going to the movies can be quite dangerous too, man. Sekali got those smooching scenes, then finished sia. It will render my fasting for that day, useless! Haiz... So much restriction during this holy month. The best is to stay at home and play videogames, and listen to music. Or even better, reading; which I had not been doing for a VERY long time. =)

Anyways, these few days was very relaxing lah. It's been a while since I got to sleep and wake up late. Wake up so late, that my breakfast is actually lunch. Or even worse, my breakfast is actually dinner!!! O_O
Didn't do much lah, these few days. Just slacking alot, which I enjoy doing very much, as always. :-) Finally caught up with the Naruto anime too. The last few episodes were just filler episodes. Haiz... I just can't wait for the "Rescue Sasuke" story arc; where I get to see Gaara kick some ass again! Also, just got started reading the Bleach manga. I was bored, so I dled it to check if it's any good. Turns out, it isn't that bad. They've got some pretty interesting characters.

I was hanging out at the Metal board at GameFAQs.com, when someone posted about how his band hanged out with Lamb Of God and stuff. He said that his band could finally get a record deal, after some help from the guys from Lamb Of God. Gave us at the boards a link to their site, http://www.ashandelm.com. Hey, they're not bad sia! After listening to some of their songs. Their songs have Thrash, Melo-Death and Power metal elements. Yeah, Melo-death Metal and Power Metal. 2 of my most favourite metal sub-genre! Some of their songs, the vocalist have clean vocals, some have harsh vocals. IMHO, I think harsh vocals suits the Japanese vocalist/guitarist more. Cos when he sings in clean vox, some of the parts, sounded really off-key. LOL.

Haiz... I'm still waiting for the call from NTUC. I want a job, man. I want $$$[ka-ching!]. Haha. Have to earn a lot of money, so many things to buy, so little time! Arrgghhh!

Journey To Everywhere Except The West

2004-10-12T19:44:00.000+08:00

Wah.... Spent the last 2 days on an "adventure" around Singapore, finding jobs. Quite hard sia, finding part-time jobs. Yesterday's trip was me, Andrew and Wayne. Didn't get any lah. But today, only me and Andrew. Wayne is waiting for supp papers to finish, and then find a job. So, today, 2 idiots wandering around Singapore like some gay like that. Everything also Voldo! We also, I think, could get the job at HMV Heerens lah, if not for the Mediacorp ppl shooting some drama there. Bloody hell! Blocked the pathway. Ah well.... Both of us were walking around Suntec City, when, guess who did we met? BK!!!! Fancy meeting him there! It was really a WTF event, man! WTF was he wandering alone, man! LOL! So, he joined us in our holy journey lah. He said that there's a factory in Geylang that is hiring ppl. But I don't qant lah. So far sia. And somehow we were back at Bedok. I think we landed a ourselves a job in NTUC FairPrice lah, I hope. The supervisor, or secretary of some sort, told us, she would call us on Friday to confirm, which outlet we are gonna be stationed to. She said it's somewhere close to our home. So, I really hope I get this job lah. Sekali, she never call! Then, it'll be another wasteful holiday for me, meaning, no MP3 player or guitar. Haiz.... I need money! Hmm.... Maybe shud work as extras at Mediacorp. Not bad eh. $50 for a few takes. Walk-walk in the background during a scene oso can get money. Sounds like fun, man!

Haiz... Supp paper day is nearing. And I haven't even started revising. :-(

2004-10-07T21:58:00.000+08:00

PCOMSYS paper was yesterday. Initially, I thought that the paper was alright lah, BUT I realized later on, that I made ALOT of careless mistakes man! It really dampened my mood sia. Now I don't know if I'm gonna take another supplementary paper. Fuck it lah! I think I'm gonna turn into a suppeleneh, studying for these supplementary papers!

And today was the MAP exams. It was definitely easier than the other papers I've took this week. As always, careless mistakes are aplenty. But, after some calculations, I think I'm gonna pass this paper. I think, today is my lucky day man! Other than the MAP paper, I also got an invitation to sign-up for a Gmail account! Woo-hoo! Finally I've got it! But I think, having a Gmail account now, isn't that big of a deal anymore lah. I mean, almost everyone I know have a Gmail account already. It isn't as exclusive as it was, when it first started. Oh well, at least I got one now. =) If you really don't know what's this Gmail thing I'm babbling about, your ass better CAAAAAAALL SOMEBOOOOOOOOOOODDDYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha... Played Outrun 2 a few times today. I got into 1st position, not once, but twice! Yeah! Yow Wai is always a position behind me. Haha! You can't beat me, man! Spider pwns all your asses! I realised that Outrun 2, although unrealistic, is the closing thing you'd ever get to driving 300km/h on the roads without getting caught by the police! Therefore, making this game, "teh Most fun racing game. Ev4r!". LOL.

Also, played Soul Calibur 2 again today. It was fun man, using really weird characters, like Voldo. Haha... Won more games than I lose, for this game today. Money spent was worth it! :-)
These type of games are always fun when you've got someone to play against. It's even better when you can play against your friends! (Playing against friends) > (Playing against total strangers). Haha... It's true man! But I really wasn't happy, when I lost ALL of the matches against Greg, in Winning Eleven. Haiz... But at least I had fun playing. :-) You have not seen the last of me, Greg!

Tml is the "final" exam paper for this semester. An open-book exam. Although it's open-book, I can't afford to take it easy lah. I just don't wanna return to sch to retake ALL the exams. Gotta pass this one! Ok lah. Enough talking crap for tonight. Gotta return back to my OAD revision.
Ciao! ;-)

2004-10-05T23:08:00.000+08:00

Fuck it, man! Supplementary paper for both ESD and Maths!

Best Antic Of The Day: Walking like Voldo, around Century Square
Phrase Of The Day: "Ni na bu!!!"

2004-10-04T21:57:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday to Susan Sarandon, Rachel Leigh Cook, Alicia Silverstone, Anne Rice, Fadli(my long lost kindergarten friend), Chee Jian, and of course, me! Haha... Thanx everyone, for the surprise birthday celebration! It was really unexpected, man. The last time I blew candles on a cake was.....erm.....kindergarten? I dunno. But I know it was a LOOONG time ago. Anyways, thanx again, everyone! Andrew, YC, Mac, Tiffany, Larry, Greg and Jessica; thanx! =) Although it was a small event, it made my day. Also, thanx to everyone who wished me, "Happy Birthday", today!

Lemme see, what happened this week. Oh yes. There's a new SGSB board now. It's called SGSB II. It's a private board, outside of GameFAQs.com. Ok, so what's the difference between these 2 boards. SGSB II, unlike the original SGSB, is a forum that you can't be modded! It's anything goes. We are all allowed free speech. Yeah, man! Sensitive topics, here we come! :-)
So far so good lah. Xiao Hulijing has done a good job in creating the board. No major problems, yet. Hope it stays that way! Also, there is still SGSB on GameFAQS.com. But it has turned out to be very deserted lah. No new or interesting topics there. It seems that almost everyone is attracted to the new SGSB, man! Haha....

Haiz... Semester exams starts tml. ESD and Maths. Arrgghh! 2 difficult papers on one day. WTF!
I'm still very scared for the ESD paper. Shit man! But, I'll just try to do my best lah. I'm gonna push myself. I just wanna pass all my subjects for this semester. C'mon man! Just one more week! CHAAAAAAARGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2004-10-01T22:30:00.000+08:00

Been quite busy these few days, man. So that's why I didn't post anything on my blog. :-P Lemme see...what happened these few days.
Tuesday, while studying Maths at night, Joseph said that he composed some new guitar riffs. So, he let me hear some of it online lah, LIVE! LOL. So I let him listen some of my crappy riffs too. As we progressed, it sort of became an online jamming session. Haha... It was quite funny lah. Had some fun with it; before going back to do my revision for my Maths.
Thursday, at CENT room, YC experienced Sleep Paralysis! He told us he was quite freaked out lah. He heard us talking, but he just couldn't move. So he just relaxed himself, until he can move himself. Then he started telling us his past ghostly encounters. From there, it slowly progressed to the rest of us telling our own experiences. WTF, rite?
And today, for no freaking reason, Greg bought The Exorcist VCD. -.- So, we watched it lah. Although most of us had watched it several times, we still enjoyed it. :-) And also, when we first just popped in the disc; I accidently banged on the edge of the table and my handphone screen broke, then my toes were stucked in between the wheels of Nick's chair. And after that, the laptop restarted itself. WTF, man! OMG! The Exorcist VCD has a curse! LOL!

Despite the lame things we did and encountered these few days, at least we studied. Just a some more stuffs before I complete my exams revisions. I also have this feeling that I will fail more than 1 subject for my exams. What the hell sia? Suddenly have this feeling. But no matter what, I'll try to do my best! Holidays are around the corner! =)

2004-09-27T22:31:00.000+08:00

Today went to sch for ESD lesson and MAP project presentation. It was boring lah, as usual. Had a revision on comparator circuits for ESD. Hmm.... I think, I'm quite positive that there'll be question about comparator circuit for our ESD exam paper. As for the MAP presentation, erm....anyhow "tikam-tikam" answered the questions given, also can get 1 or 2 questions correct! Haha! But when asked what have I learned from doing this project, I answered that I learned nothing. LOL! It's the truth, man! At least I'm being honest!

Also, went to have some pre-exams celebration at Seoul Garden after classes was over. Had a good time lah. Then, a little bit of arcade after that before going home. IMO, I don't see the reason why Singapore is building a Casino for? There's already countless of videogame arcades all over Singapore. And ppl are always wasting their money at these arcades every week, some even daily! <_<>_> I really think that a casino is totally unnecessary! The government thinks that by having a casino here, it will boost the number of tourists coming here. C'mon lah! If they want to enjoy themselves at a casino, they can always go to Las Vegas! Who would want to go to some teeny-weeny country like Singapore, where people speak Singlish?! Singapore laws are getting more and more outrageous!

Singlish = The bastard child of the English language, after being gang-raped by local languages such as; Mandarin, Hokkien, Malay, Tamil, Cantonese, etc.

Tried out a new fighting game today, Rumble Fish. If I'm not mistaken, Daisuke Ishiwatari was somewhat involved in this game. So, being a Guilty Gear fan, I was curious on how this game actually play.
It seems that there only 9 default characters. The main character, Zen, looks like Sol Bad-guy without sword. There's one fat, old man, whom I had forgotten the name. Arai, who looks like Hwoarang from Tekken. Viren, a guy who has some sort of weapon, instead of arms, attached to his body. 2 female characters, who looks like, Aikido is their prefered fighting technique. A small boy called Typhoon. A grappler character, who looks like a slimmer version of Potemkin from Guilty Gear. And last but not least, a HOT NURSE, Garnet; whose speed is very fast and uses alot of kicks. She looks abit like Millia Rage from Guilty Gear. Come to think of it, Millia's costume in the Guilty Gear series, is actually a nurse outfit with only several add-on designs on it.
I seriously dunno how to play this game. But I had fun playing it though, against YC. Neither he knows how to play this game. Uses several characters, to see which one suits me; but not even one of them impresses me. The AI is quite irritating, man. Everytime I dash to attack, I'll get countered almost everytime. So, I had to use cheap-ass techniques, like shooting projectile from afar, over and over again. Not a pleasant sight, but it works! LOL. Maybe I should play this game more often after my exams are over. Den only, I will decide if this game is good or not. =)

Sociology presentation was today! Hah! Guess wat? Only 2 person, out of 5 in the group, turned up today for class. So, only me and Alvinder presented. Haha. Yeah, just the 2 of us. I think we did ok lah, considering that we had 30+ slides to cover! We seriously don't know what happened to the others lah. Perhaps, they are COWARDS!!! Hahahaha.... Zero marks for your presentation, man! Yeah, that's right. Nothing. Zero. Nada. Zilch. Haha! That is, if you got no MC lah. I just hope that, overall, I'll pass my Sociology; cos Carolyn announced that our class did badly for the exam. Only 8 passed! WTF?! It seems that it wasn't only me who didn't studied enough. LOL. Cos, the paper was easy, and yet, only 8 passed. But she also told us that don't worry too much. We still got our projects and presentations to help us. And also, our class quiz, and class participation and attendance, contributes to the overall score. Haiz... I really hope I pass, man. Carolyn went on to say, that our class is the best class she ever taught. Woo-hoo! Maybe she can help all of us pass. Aiyah....maybe only. Haha. Den, had a little photo taking after Sociology class was over today. Almost everyone was crapping sia. LOL.

Tml gotta go to school sia. Got some NE forum to attend to. Yeah man! Just one more NE forum for me, to get enough CUs, to graduate after completing my course. =) And also, I already have the mood to start studying, man! Yeah! I'll start on Sunday! ESD and Maths, I'M NOT SCARED OF YOU!!! I'll prepare myself, that you can't even get a scratch on me! Bwahahahahaha......
