Mercora Blog : Month of November

Sat, 16 Apr 2005 05:36:00 GMT

This is the last month in my Mecora Blog : November

Friday, November 05, 2004 4:48 AM : Titled: The good old days

Haiz mercora 2.0 is still bad for me... Should be moving my blog soon

Recently had lots of memories come back to me when i was sleepless studying for exams. BTW at the time of writing, i just finished my exams!!! Thought about primary school friends, lower sec friends, my PSLs and my juniors...

And also i suddenly remembered about transformers. Macross Zero just finish. I am a mecha fan... Gundam rocks too. And patlabor! I love beast wars and beast machines was quite cool but no more transformers now :( Wish there was a movie. Most of the older cartoon websites are dying.. Haiz

Oh and i just went to the Mainframe website and remembered about Reboot. It was a damn nice cartoon. Wish i could understand it more at that time...

Must get the cartoons somehow...

And recently been watching the chinese late show call ceng jin... Kinda weird and slow. Wonder why i watch it.

BTW it was my last paper today and it was wafer and i suck the most at it and i think i did the worst for this paper... and i did a extra question.. supposed to do 5 out of 6....

Quote from MSN nick: Fengrun - [:: The Great Transformation Awaits. Prepare To Be Reformated ::]

Friday, November 05, 2004 4:55 AM :

Just found Shadow raiders too on the mainframe website. The one about the planets that can fly and the planet eater... I wonder why i like their cartoons so much... But the “official“ beast wars and shadow raiders websites are dead.. Mainframe needs a better web master. But recently i done see lots of good cartoons from them.. i wonder who is their script writer..

Friday, November 05, 2004 6:58 AM :

Just saw a pic on neowin and recalled another mecha when i was really really small.. Cant remember the name liao :( but it involves some combination of this big robot with other vehicles that will allow it to fly and swim and drill i think.... Quite fun :P

Tuesday, November 09, 2004 11:19 PM :

9 Nov and FireFox 1.0 is released. I hate IE. Halo 2 was released too and i CANT wait for HL 2!!!

Someone on neowin said he spend 4.5 mil on a recording studio and someone came up with lots of proof that he is a liar... LOL very interesting post.

Monday, November 15, 2004 9:30 AM :

Still coughing now and the holidays are ending soon. And HL 2 is hours away and RCS camp is just a few day away and i wonder whether i should go....

Just remembered this nice music from the cartoon oswald. That blue octopus and i am trying to find the music now.. I really like it.. Some nice children music :)

Friday, November 19, 2004 5:25 PM : Titled : old games

Was in bed this “morning” and thought about the old games i played... Dragon court, Aardwolf and all the java games and Earth 2025..... All the hours of my life spent on them.... Interesting...

Monday, November 22, 2004 9:17 AM :

Just had a busy tired weekend fixing com stuff.

And just now just went LAN with the Bishan Bunch. Played 3 Corr and we won and it was fun.

Anyway back to the weekend. The whole project week was SIAN.... And then on sat morning I went with Jingtian to Jurong to buy my new speakers....(i late realise the prices SUCK) And JT spent about $350 on Megaworks speakers and a Audigy 2 on his bro!!! He is such a nice guy.. And i took bus home and Hanting kept bugging me to buy his new com and elrick stupid cheapstake speakers died.... And i went Sim Lim and Hanting had a really limited budget but yet he wants a good com......... FUCK and he chose a cheap casing and gfx card.... And then we went to my house to assemble the com to save even more money.... And the whole disaster of heatsink clips. casings and mounting motherboard started all over again... Went to his house and the horror continued with his warped!!!! casing that kills the com when the panels are on!!!! WTF!!!! And i nearly went mad.... Finished at about 4am i think.... And he paid me $20... He is poor and i am despo poor... CHEEBYE.... I hate fixing coms... PCs suck!!! Get a Mac.... I decided to not assemble any new coms for any new guys.....

Oh and i met Kenneth and the black NCC guy from 4I and one is in police and the other in medicine.... Haiz time flyz... Old memories

Oh and i met Ah Han there too..... Hmm i like meeting ppl in Sim Lim... Still trying to clear HL 2.. the headache sucks.... BTW my soundcard died and my bro has a talent for screwing the com up when i am away.... Life SUCKS

Monday, November 22, 2004 9:22 AM : Titled : RCS Camp

BTW about the camp.... It was BAD... Still so boring and lifeless.... Jon was sleeping during some games at night.... Haiz.... And the Mac is getting so slow now... Called junsen (Got number from qizhao...)...

Zhenglei lost his phone.... Haiz... Did not sleep at all and played with the Mac for the whole night.. Managed to learn emacs and enable php on apache. Installed Fink but got nothing to install.... CUPS was working and Samba was too tedious.... Went to canteen to visit Qizhao, Chinghui, Xinyan and Jon, Eddison and that badminton guy and a 2G guy... Kenneth said he saw me but nvr come to me... that mugger... and i saw Mrs Tan still helping the students!

Then went sleeping pool to shower and then went to NYP for project and i was non functional and slept everywhere. LOL

RCS should die SOON.... HAIZ

Monday, November 22, 2004 9:54 AM :

Oh and i was away in the toilet shitting just now when i remembered:

That I ran 3DMark03 on HT's FX 5500 and it crashed and i put my finger into the com to feel the heat. And as i did that, i knew i was gonna do IT.... And IT happened AGAIN! My finger went into some spinning 3000 RPM CPU fan and got a painful wound under the nail of my middle finger on the right hand and it was painful and it bled (onto the floor of HT house). FUCK i am a dumbass... This is about the 4-5 time already....

BTW his CPU is pretty cool and good for overclocking... But i wonder whether the heat pad and the lousy heatsink was conducting the heat AWAY from the CPU... The new AMD 64 Clip was actually quite nice... The FX 5500 is fanless and damn hot.... YUCKS

And i finally learnt to connect a front USB port. I was really gonna go mad that night..

And at lab today... I found out how to go to a website using JS... Some ppl are noobs at websites... document.location=”www.google.com”

This is the end of my Mercora Blog. hope you had enjoy. Lots of endings today.

Mercora Blog : Month Of October

Sat, 16 Apr 2005 03:19:45 GMT

****This are entries from the month of October 2004 of my Mercora Blog : ****

Sunday, October 17, 2004 10:05 AM :

DAmn long nvr blog liao

Just got a router and Mercora is quite screwed up.

Got a Mic for Skype and its working very nicely

Sunday, October 24, 2004 9:14 AM :

Exams is coming up and i not studying much...

and RCS is so screwed...

Wednesday, October 27, 2004 2:57 PM :

Just watched the special music event of Apple and iTunes. Its time for the music companies to go forward.

iPod Photo was ok and the U2 special edition looks pretty cute. And Wed just had imaging paper. It was ok. last night before the paper i was unable to sleep. kept thinking about the old times and my memories in sec sch. were those the best years of my life? Edward, David Jonathan Chan, Jingtian, Seng Tat and many others. Wonder how are they now..... playing “care ren” hiding bags. I guess i grew or chnaged the most in that 4 years. Kinda like innocence lost... People said i was too nice last time... Wish I nvr had to grow up.. Was thinking about it all and felt kinda sad. RCS camps always make me think of all these things about the past and the future and my memories. My two disciples, Xinyan and Qizhao... And they are so old now... and my PSLs too. I wonder how they are...

Times have changed though. I wonder why the ppl are getting worse now.. Cant get things done and i are not as enthu. or is it just me? Will RCS die off? Stupid five day week shitz. Time is my enemy.

LOTR extended DVD is coming out and i need some money.. Need to get a Nokia 6260 too...

****************************************************************

So here ends the month of October. Must have been a busy boy. A short Month. Gonna move November the last month over today too since i have time. And the can try Mercora 3.

Wah look at the time. Woke up at 10am today by myself. Skype launched some new services today as it nears 100 million downloads

Mercora Blog : Month of September Part 2

Fri, 15 Apr 2005 00:01:30 GMT

************Continued from Month of September 2004 Part 1************

Friday, September 17, 2004 10:28 AM :

Just watched the final epsiode of the Kang Xi story and it was quite sad... In the end his loved one died without seeing him.. Bring a great person has its prize but he was really damn stubborn... In the show, he died just as he hold up the piece of paper to announce his sucessor... Quite dramatic but dunno if its true..

Yong Zheng came after him and it was a big fight for the throne. And after that Qian Long

Friday, September 17, 2004 10:36 AM :

Fengrun - [:: Thanks to MS. You can now be hacked with a JPEG! Patch Windows XP and Office::]

Friday, September 17, 2004 10:41 AM :

Chris came to my house and he played a bit of CS source and we went to keypoint to eat that fish for the first time...

BTW Big Bird on Sesame Street is a Muppet

Someone called just now but hang up. I might nvr know who it was

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 4:38 AM :

Chris has to stay in at night for the next two months. I got my common test results back and they were quite ok but classmates are not too happy.... Missed a lot of lesson after the common test and Sims 2 is out. Yesterday was monday and it was the Emmy Awards and it was pretty nice..

Oh yes and now i remember. Saw the list of actors who left this plane of existance... And saw this guy called Rod Roddy who is the announcer guy on “The Price is Right“ and i think this old actor on The Sopranos.... And Reagon and and this old famous blind black singer ( on the piano i think singing the blues too ) I always watched that part and made me realise lots of actors i see but nvr knew. Kinda sad that ppl have to go... Last year was this Jonathan guy who acted as the young boy on Seaquest....

I wonder what happened to Seaquest in the end.. Hate Channel 5. They always kill a show or dont show the last season or take damn long to show it or have huge gaps between seasons... What happened to Enterprise?

http://www.cbs.com/daytime/price/about/justin/rroddy_obituary.shtml

Having lots of weird dreams recently to do with friends, family, arguments and NS ( even hair? )

TRying not to blog becoz it takes up lots of time and i cant remember lots of things now... Oh ya i was not able to access my hotmail for the last 4 days until today... I hate MS.

A Search Function for my Life?

Quote from Nick : [:: Oh shit... Got the NS checkup letter and i still cant pass napfa ::]

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 9:43 AM :

Just watched Mission Impossible 2 and Titanic. Titanic is a touching movie. Maybe i should get the DVD or download it. I wonder which actor is the old Rose and whether the bad guy got the best supporting actor...

Suddenly i remember Neoplanet from those old days and visited the website but they said its not available for download since 6 January 2004. I wonder what happened to them...

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 10:48 AM : Remind Chris of Galvin's site.

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:27 AM : Titled : FlashBack

Had a flashback to that funny movie with that very funny looking wacko guy ( who always does those comic joke stupid movies) that lead a group of scouts (by accident) with a girl and got in lots of trouble and defeated some bad guys...

Damn watched so many movies on TV and i need to recall them. There were some really nice shows last time...

Oh and those Chinese zombie shows! With that guy who is the “priest” all the time but he died some time ago.. And i remember that show got a boy who was the lama i think.. Haha remember that i had a time trying to figure out who was the real recarnation... between that boy and gal. All that funny walk thru fire test.... Quite a happy show that i remember to tell myself not to forget it.. i wonder why...

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:27 AM : Damn having one of my Flash Back Days

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:30 AM :

Look at the time now!!! and i cant get off the net becoz its so full of interesting things!!! actually its neowin forum... PS Two is released... I think it was released long time ago (old news) but I mean the smaller one!!! and the PSP too and the DS is gonna sell for 149 (us dollars i think)

Tuesday, September 21, 2004 11:38 AM :

Wednesday, September 29, 2004 5:24 AM :

I told him the KFC meal was gonna be small portions and we saw Ronald and Jingqiang there at Bugis

Mercora Blog : Month of September Part 1

Thu, 14 Apr 2005 23:50:46 GMT

This is the month of September 2004 from my blog on Mercora and this was my first entry :

Wednesday, September 01, 2004 2:09 AM : Sorry Blog so damn busy with life nowadays

Friday, September 03, 2004 6:02 AM : Went back to Hong Wen this morning at about 11.45am. Saw rhat the place has changed a lot and that the place looks smaller.. :P Lots of teachers have left. Miss Tan went overseas for further studies. Mrs Ling is still there. Everyone has changed. Wonder why things change

Sunday, September 05, 2004 12:24 AM : Oh did i mention that its the study break week before common test and i have a flu and i dont feel like studying and i am screwed?

Wednesday, September 08, 2004 11:57 AM : Titled : Buffy Ends

Had two papers on Monday. Semi ( at 8.30am )was still “ok” and after Semi was Wafer Fab and that one. I died. Between 10am to 2pm to study. But ate and then slept in library until about 12.30pm then started to study. By then it was too late. Realised that i missed out on too much stuff and i am screwed.... So I think i gonna fail. Was still feeling sick and lousy...

Was planning to go Chris and Beow Area to give Beow back his MS but it rained so Beow told me to come tmw.

Tues was the Microeletronic paper. Had little time to study becoz i was too tired from Monday. Woke up late too on tues to study and so i went sch late and “discussed” with chris whether i should take the paper... Went in and realised that its a 2hour paper not 1.5 hour and was worried that i had no red pen... But opened the paper and there was no need! The paper was ok la but i not that confident...

Went to stay at chris house not immediately (walked around the FJ and thought for a long time what to eat and decided on bread and milo....went to library to borrow a wireless book) after the paper and gave Beow his MS and gave him a small tour of the “jungle house” and we stepped on the stupid chicken shit.... I am a winzip human keygen and Junyi can remember 2 to the power of 32 which is about 4 billion...Fixed up chris printer and the nokia sdk still refused to work and decided to give the com a long rest... Poor chris had to wake up in the morning to go to his camp.

Woke up at 11am, surf for tech news for quite some time on Chris lousy monitor and 6600GT benchmarks are out and Intel IDF is on. And his maid cocked a BIG bowl of magi noodle for me and gave some of the meat bones to the jay dog i think.... Went and install the latest drivers and defrag the com and tried to fix the memory card problem.. and tried setting RON settings to High and playing it on chris computer. Still not bad. Chris stupid com(motherboard.. and he lost his recipt) hangs when i plug in the printer into the USB port and his com is not properly grounded....

Louis came back from Wild Wild Wet and said he was late for his tution and maid fried some rice with the left over minced meat from previous night. Got some chili. Quite nice but its damn lot and i just ate “breakfast” Breakfast finished about 12/1pm and now lunch and 3/4pm... Chris said she is a good cook but like to cook a lot. In the end, stayed the whole afterrnoon at chris house when i intended to go back in the morning. Oh and chris printer is quite good. Oh and i went to the shop and found some real interesting stuff (muhahahah) and got some crushed ice...Went Beow place and took a while to find his place alone and cant find the freaking fish tank!!! He had a nice com setup (a whole backup system) and his printer sucks. Went back at 7.45pm and as i was at the gate, chris called... Perfect timing....

Had to eat dinner at chris place... Oh and the dessert chris mom makes is nice :) Watched a small part of this nice disney show. Tried to test whether chris trust me when he bathe but apparently he does not.... Bastard.... And he ask me to use his army towel to bathe... YUCKS.... Packed up and ask chris to go shop with me. And louis wants to bake cookies and tried to hide my bag.. We went to shop and found that the shot of “vodka” cost 3 dollar and i decided to give a try... It was a bit weird tasting... and hot...

Continued on above

On the Mercora blog is above, as new entries get added on top. Here on Spaces, its below.

Wednesday, September 08, 2004 12:19 PM : Titled : Continued from Buffy

took bus and then mrt. Topped up my ezlink card and did i mention that i lost my NYP ezlink card AGAIN and i am using the normal one now...

Reached home and bro was playing game... and suddenly realised that i forgot to bring the wireless book back and called chris to keep this sat free so i can take the book fom him.. Degen leaving soon and he is hiding his mp3s...

And from the previous entry, I got louis to watch CSI:Miami on AXN and i hope he can write better compos.

And watched CSI:Miami on channel 5 and it was nice as usual.. looks like a double episode with some council woman husband and disposable cell phones and copycat and guns.

And then came Buffy and it was a nice episode (later found out form newspaper that its the finale) Buffy got Willow to cast a spell with the special axe to make all potentials become real slayers and it was nice. But i hate it to end :( So sad

The First confronted Buffy and gave her the idea of the “only slayer“ and she told giles and he thought it was brilliant and Willow was so powerful, she could do it. After all the slayer was “made“ by a group of powerful men a long time ago.

Angel was in the front part and i thought Spike was gonna screw up but he did not. And Angel and Buffy discussed when they will be together and had the “cookie“ talk. (Its quite a shame that Buffy actor was not able to make it for the Angel Finale) Angel gave Buffy a jewel for Spike that can “purify” They fought against the army of super vampires. Willow casted the spell (became a goddess) and they fought and Buffy got stabbed, some gals (only saw one in the show) died. Faith got overpowered for a while and Buffy went down for a while and passed the axe to Faith and Faith passed it to another gal when she got overpowered. The First came and pissed Buffy off and she got up and fought. Spike jewel activated and became a beam of light that killed all the vampires... Buffy hold his hand with fire and told him that she loved him but Spike said she did not and ask her to leave. Spike burns up and Anya got killed and the place started to collaspe (Sunnydale was already empty becoz of the vamps) they got on the sch bus and drove off. Principal got quite injure and gave Faith a “surprise” (I think they fucked in a previous episode)Funny guy was still alive

They drove off as the whole town hellmouth collaspe and it was the end. Willow could feel the slayers awake and Buffy is no longer the only slayer and They destroyed the mall and Don wondered why whe fought on their side. ( before the fight, the scene of the old crew (Zender, Willow, Buff, Giles but gile did not really get it, he is a old guy) got together and discussed about what to do if they win)

So they ask Buffy what do they do now and it all ends just like that in Buffy face. She is no longer the only slayer and does not have to carry the burden anymore.

Friday, September 10, 2004 4:24 AM : Titled : End of Common Test and Memories

Did not study much last night becoz of Angel (The main characters awoke to jasmine except the son and Angel has to find out Jasmine's real name. Jasmine is real creepy) and the cook show( taiwan oyster noodle and some dan zai mian)

Then wanted to take a nap at about 3.40am but fell asleep until 6+ am... and shit. Study like crazy but luckily i had some basic knowledge. Had a bad shit becoz of the fries (with chilli sauce and stupid tofu yesterday night ( Oily, Spicy and Heaty ) WTF. Went to sch and had to run to shit and was done at 8.02am.... Wow i was so surprised. nvr been in sch so early... (felt like shit on the mrt)

SMS ronald about the LT and he replied 5 and so i went to N5 but did not find anyone and then sms him again and he said Q5 and so i went there and saw the other guys. Ronald came shortly after. And then last min revision and asked lots of ppl how to do certain filters. And went in about 10 mins late. Kim yong came late too and went in slightly before me. The paper was ok la but i forgot the angle formula for sobel and laplacian filter does what?

Finished paper and we went AMK to eat and it was weijian birthday and he treat me to milo. So weird, he treat us on his birthday... Cong Bian asked me to go swim but i was not prepared and later they went play CS and i went mrt with Jocelyn and kim yong. There was this old lady who was asking for directions. oh ya jocelyn was wearing some weird glasses... Jocelyn went the other side from me and Kimyong.

Saturday, September 11, 2004 4:05 AM : Titled : Continued

Haiz Mercora blog support sucks and their host sucks and the need to fix it soon.Went home for a while and downloaded the Crash and Burn Video. Was pretty low quality. Went to lasalle for the Apple Motion Seminar. Took bus 12 and it was kinda down memory road becoz i used to take that bus a lot on weekends with weekiat and weiming to go learn swimming. I wonder where that swimming teacher is.

Took a big round to get to the gallery and the seminar was pretty cool but there were not enuf seats and the pros were there and they were so old and i felt a bit out of place... Sat in the first half but was blocked by this big head but second half had to stand becoz i am a hungry greedy boy and ate too long. BTW the food was damn nice. Best ever in a seminar. Mango pudding, chicken wing with some thai chilli sause, chicken pie mini and some cheesy stuff.

Had to go to the toilet to wash my hands becoz i was eating with my hands although there were forks... Hands are so much faster and easier!!! The sch is quite old and “run down“ a bit old....

After the seminar, took a walk to the katong pool. Only had a peep of the place. and i dun want ppl to think i am a dirty old man spying on ppl. fence was quite far from the road and lots of grass (that i nvr noticed) round the pool. Not much has changed (but i did not get to go inside)but the ticketing gate is different. Haiz my memories.... It was quite some fun time there :( Walked over the same bridge and things look smaller. Remember running with them to catch the bus and the conversations at the bus stop(one of them about the Scream sequels) while waiting for the bus. Came home at that same bus stop on 12 too and even the houses round the bus stop has changed. everyone has changed, even me... HAIZ. I wonder whether my juniors will think about their past.

In the bus, i went to the top front like last time but the sun was shining into the air con bus and it was still bloody hot... SMS JT And the circle line is damn ugly. Now i am at home and JT said it was his night out but my timing is rather tight. Degen leaving for Brunei on Monday. (some brunei prince just got married)(lots of golden shiny stuff) so tmw maybe we go catch a movie but not a lot of good movie recently. We might be watch Terminal or Bournce Supremcy. But i waiting for Dodgeball and Jackie Chan Xin jin cha gu shi. Chris better keep tmw free so he can pass me the book and the 2g pic i printed...Quote from nick: Fengrun - [:: I am gonna fail my CT. WMP 10 - 4 issues in 2 days. Haiz MS ::]

Haiz i typed too much. must stop blooging. i remember too many little details!

Additional: Mercora is damn fucked up. The developers are not in the forums and they are having some domain problem now...

BTW this morning when i was going to sch. I met my neighbour at the lift. My neighbour downstairs in the air force who was like a big brother to me when i was still a little kid. Saw him today in his uniform and saw a crest on his shoulder... Looks like some big rank... Was quite stunned becoz i think the last time i saw him, he was some serg i think. (chris just told me thats it a Major and its not very big) And in the lift, he asked me whther i "jin bin" (go NS) yet and i said no. Still studying until next week. In my brain, i was like WTF!!! he waiting for me to go ns to torture me??? And he was holding some t-shirt...???

Oh and before i went to the seminar and was resting at home. I went to download the Savage Garden Crash and Burn MTV. Brings back lots of memories in sec 2. The lyrics... And the MTV is very unique and weird and it rocks. Wonder why i nvr noticed when i was small.Just found the lyrics of the song but realise that i might have misunderstood the song. But it felt right at that time. Hmm the suicidal tendencies...

Sunday, September 12, 2004 12:09 PM :

Cant sleep and was thinking too much.... Peeled a piece of skin off my finger. The dead piece of skin on my left small finger that was left behind by a “water bubble” And i dropped it while in my dark room on my bed and i cant find it. Dont think i will ever find it again like the other big flakes of skin i peeled off my body... Why do i pay attention to so many small details.

Wish there is a machine that can playback your life... Will i remember how i felt while typing this?

Today went out with degen, chris and JT becoz degen leaving for brunei tmw and we watched the Terminal By spielberg(except JT becoz he watched liao) It was good as he said. Will i still remember how it made me felt? The old funny indian man and his tricks at the dinner table?

Went jogging at 3am on Saturday (actually Sunday liao) Jog to Bugis and stopped and walked to the Esplanade. Walked along the beach and saw some interesting stuff... Was looking at a picture when i stepped on a bell and someone came up to me and said it was his. Guess he lost it when he swing his fishing rod. Made me wonder if i was meant to be there to step on the bell so that person can find it....

Remembered that lots of things around me are “linked” My birthday is normally quite “eventful”

Today was Sunday. Damn rainy. Its raining now at 4.20am as i type. Yesterday also rain and damn Chris was at NDP. I heard THAM over the phone. That was creepy. Chris wanted to LAN but i am poor and i got lots of work to catch up.

Told Chris to fucking format his com.

At 11am ++ on Sunday Jingtian SMS me and woke me up saying he just got out of guard duty!!! WTF!!! And he has to go back at 9.30pm.... WTFFFF....... Then KO keep calling me about this damn computer!!! stupid first gen P4 with lots chipset, lan and gfx card. And speakers dont need DRIVERS!!!

Watch TV for a while and then went back to sleep. Woke up at 3pm and do stupid things ( like watching TV) and ate lunch.( oh ya went to Burger King at concourse with the coupon for 4.50 with the taro pie and chicken whopper junior. And the malay gal at the store was crying becoz some old bitch was screwing her about the coupons)

and shenting has this survey for me to do... Suppose to have one for my parents but they dont read english but shenting says he can translate it... Dont care la. They dont read com and they too “busy” to care.

Went to Sim Lim to buy CD to burn Corel. Told me damn long to decide and saw that UT guy called Hero i think. Oh ya went back and watch “yi tian tu long ji”

Damn i am overtyping and overthinking now.

And tell him to fucking buy his LCD!!! Told him to get Bittornado and the torrents are going damn fast now!!! So he should thank me and treat me to LAN.

Burnt Corel liao and revise a bit of imaging... Jenny better dun disturb me tmw. Yichen should get his FMA DVD back... Chris is happily downloading torrents

And i just lose my train of thought. Fuck it i am starting to remember all the tiny little fucking details of the day. I better stop.

Oh ya i got the damn madonna songs!

Oh ya and the thing that started this damn long blog entry: Shareaza suddenly sent a smtp request and zonealarm caught it... Weird...... destination ip is 80.5.160.10

Sunday, August 01, 2004 1:54 PM : I decided to retype a entry becoz mercora screwed up becoz i am typing too much on me two times and i am gonna kill it.

So fuck have to go Sim Lim and chris is coming along becoz he got free day becoz of ndp and he wants to LAN again... And elrick ask me damn lot about programming and taking damn long to reach home from his sch. And Hanting needs to get his LAN card....

Starhub website sucks. Took me damn long to activate the Gee Call tone download thing

Tuesday, August 03, 2004 10:38 AM :

Damn sway today!!! After NE. Went to that stupid drink machine at the lift to buy a drink again after eating lunch and as usual Qoo Lemon is sold out. And there was this guy in front of me ( he was talking to his friend and standing in front of the machine blocking me... Dunno if he was gonna buy a drink or not. But in the end, he did)

and he bought Sprite Ice so i decided to buy it too. So i bought it and i pull the cap a little and that damn thing bubble like crazy and this guy was talking on phone near me and he shutted “Cheebye“ I think it sprayed a little on him and when i pull of the whole thing, it shoot up like a fountain la. And i was left with a big mess on the floor and half a can of drink left... If only i has gone in front of that guy.... Feeling guilty becoz i made a mess for the cleaners to clean up and sticky shoes when it dries!

But at least i managed to answer the microelectronics questions asked by Goh at the Lab after the drink.

Saturday, August 07, 2004 12:02 PM :

Went “Clubbing” for the first time in my life..... yesterday... at about 11.30pm reach tanjong pagar. Met them. Dick, Jocelyn, Jianwei, Weijian, Kim Yong, Ronald, Qingfeng and Wu Jie was there. Dick was driving a mercedes! And Kim yong was driving his van. Went there a bit late and weijian and wujie were not there at first becoz they went to look for me :P. Wenhus was still considering but in the end he did not come becoz of his scouts activity. They commented that i look quite nice in my checkered shirt and grey pants. But they kept asking me to open up the top shirt button...

Dick drove me , his gf , Ronald and Jianwei. Kim Yong with the rest and wuijie lead us to this disco pub called M.O.S Just before i got off, i told them i did not bring IC and dick was like screaming at me and ronald say that he told me everything but forgot to tell me to bring IC. Luckily the very big size bouncer accepted my NYP student card. Oh ya and the lady bouncer.. Was just outside the place and could feel the bloody bass. And we went in with a stamp on the hand. Was really worried about parents asking about it. Went into the place and was immediately hit by the damn fucking deafing freaking crazy bloody loud music and the cigarette smoke smell!!!

We got four soft drinks and two jugs of cocktail. One was something+coke and the other was vodka+7-up. Tried both and the vodka one was much better. Just sat there for the first 1hr +. Watching and there were these girls who were dancing on a mini-stage. Not very pretty and kinda sec sch gals looking but they danced quite well. And there was that fat girl dancing quite “hot“. Kinda ah beng and ah lan ish place....

Just sat there and keep watching and looking and hoping to learn some dance moves and drink a bit and felling a little dizzy becoz of the smoke and music... coughed a little at first. and kept sms chris to ask him what he did at clubs. Some of my classmates thought i was smsing my gf....

They dragged me a few times to the dance floor to dance but i just ran away. Hahaha and we all cant dance and the ppl there were shouting some hokkien and wujie was quite familiar with what they were doing. hahaha. I look like a monkey when i dance.... Felt a bit “high“ at one point after drinking a bit and luckily i can control myself or else i will go really crazy and do really crazy things considering how “natural high“ i am.

Went out with Kim Yong and Qingfeng for a break at about 2am i think and i could hardly hear. feel like i am wearing headphones. And saw a old uncle with a woman and a guy jogging....And i realised that my shirt has a very smoky smell. SHIT... I tld my parents i was hoinh orchard to watch a midnight show. Dont know whether i should have told them the truth or not. (Luckily at this moment i am typing , they still dunno)

The last 30mins, started to relac a bit and i was on the dance floor. Just standing in a corner and shaking my head a little to the music and moving my hands a little and opening my mouth “singing“

Stopped at 2.30am and my ears had this dull pain and we went to the lau pa sha to eat supper and i ordered some stupid piece of crap green noodles with ja jian mian. Noodles was sticky and the sauce was some sweet and hot sauce which sucks. Should have followed my instincts and stopping making the same mistake. The food there sucks and is damn ex. Should have ordered western food. Went home in Kim Yong's van with jianwei and weijian. He did not know the road so had to guide him a little. Dropped me off first at the bus stop in front of hong wen. Ask jianwei whether he went back recently ( he said no) luckily. Hope he does not know about me....

Wednesday, August 11, 2004 12:01 PM :

National Day was on Monday and Chris was on it!!! One of the lame trumpet ppl when the president comes. And I saw him on TV again!!! for the second time of his life, chris is on TV. But it was not that close this time. And his shirt was too big for him and he purposely wear his hat damn low to hide his stupid face. but he said his father recorded the part so i might see it!

hehe (Wanna cuddle? T-shirt) hahahaha

Recently been a lot of talk about eh handover of power in Singapore. I wonder what the new guy is like.

Went to chris house yesterday because we had a 4 hr + break. his bed is damn comfy but i found about 8 trojans in his com... And the recent documents list...

I cant even remember why i started this blog entry!!!

Quote from Nick: [:: Nobody Dies A Virgin Because Life Screws Us All ::]

Friday, August 13, 2004 12:59 PM : played badminton today. hands damn sore

Saturday, August 14, 2004 2:34 PM : Went LAN with Jingtain, Chris, Hanting, Elrick and Xijie just now. Did not play rise of nations. Played UT 2004 And it was damn fun. Came home and played RON with chris. We trashed the com.

Sunday, August 15, 2004 10:43 AM : Titled : Time Flies

My memories are dear to me. Very dear to me. Just had to throw out some stuff and as i looked at all these old stuff, all my old memories come back to me... Old first com. First CD bought. Poster from Yan Ning. Haiz all these old memories are coming back to me.. Wish things nvr had to change. When i get old, will i be able to remember all these small little things that shape my life....

Will i remember today? I always wish I had a time machine that can just playback history and let me watch it. Nvr wanted to go to Heaven. Wonder what Hell is like. All the little things and moments in my life. How can i remember and recall it all?

Had a thought that we might really be alone in the universe while walking to Bugis to meet Chris and Junyi for cheap ice-cream.

Wish Time was not my enemy.

Wish I could remember my weird dreams when i wake up.

Tuesday, July 06, 2004 9:43 AM :

Watched Spiderman 2 with Chih Hung, Joshua, Jingtian and Nicholas. Its ok la but quite lame and loud at some parts. Not as emotional as i thought. Chih Hung got a scholarship and treated us to the movie..

Greece won the Euro 2004 Cup. I thought that might happen after watching them play against Czech....
This Cup started and ended with the same match and result. Greece VS portugal and both times Greece won. WTF. Chris lost quite some money. Me too but i did not touch the last match... I guess my gut is esp good when i dont bet.

School just started. Timetable is pretty packed in the morning and early afternoon. Modules are not easy and i got Jenny as my teacher..... And i cant squeeze in a extra sup module!!! FUCK I AM SCREWED. Good Thing is that there are lots of A1 ppl in my class. :) But i still hate school.

Went LAN with Chris at AMK... and we had another one of our little stupid arguments.... That idiot....
But the LAN seesion was fun! Beat Chris at NFS and he beat me at FIFA 2003 becoz of a stupid mistake i made. Been a long time since i enjoyed LAN so much.

Damn i am gonna be a busy boy this six months... So many things to do!!!

Saturday, July 10, 2004 2:25 AM : Titled : I am Fucking Train Wreck

My first week of poly third year is a total train wreck. I missed lots of lessons and i am gonna be fucked. I cant wake up!!!!

Monday, July 19, 2004 12:53 AM : The sec 2s got screwed by me last last friday. Told them to do a presentation on some simple hardware stuff and they all screwed up. Fuck them

Monday, July 19, 2004 2:05 PM :

Doom 3 has gone gold. Lets hope it does not suck. Where is HL 2 and Stalker? Wonder whether my PC can play it. Still have not bought UT 2004 yet. Evn Show left Neowin which sucks. Neowin is a crazy place. UT design is going nowhere. Saw the design done by Ronald. Design for the sake of design.

There is a wireless competition at Splash Awards. Damn Nokia Series 60 SDKs are damn slow. Should I try to take part?

Showed Chris what is Neat Image and the pics are altered. He is interested by it. Been playing with lots of photo apps. Picasa ( bought By Google) and Nokia Life Blog beta ( Need to submit bug report). Both have pros and cons. Photo Apps can be useful. Hope iPhoto can improve soon. Chris saw GarageBand and was impressed by it. Damn that asshole went to watch Brotherhood with his JC friends. Fuck Him.

BTW new ipod tmw. Kinda like a 3.5G. That thing needa a colour screen, wireless, better battery and lower price!!!

*added in 2005 : Stalker is still six months again and HL 2 expansion announced. Stalker has some six month ad campaign... too much hype. World of Warcraft still not officially in Sg. They said their servers are already overloading...

Tuesday, July 20, 2004 4:57 AM :

I need to learn some Solaris.
The Warcraft story on the Blizzard website rocks. They can really design well. I wonder whether they draw.

Went to library to read PC Gamer and Popular Science becoz no wafer lessons. Been a long time since I went there to read mag. Am I a Gamer? Wish I had more time. PC Gamer is funny and Popular Science is always interesting. I wonder when i can see the Doom 3 issue. Library needs to rearrange the Popular Science mags.

Kim Yong has a 7610.

Tuesday, July 27, 2004 11:38 AM : Titled : Huh?

Life sucks. I damn miss lots of classes again... FUCK. Skype, another p2p app got launched. Looks pretty polished. But Mercora is getting on my nerves. They need a search function for their forums. They need mods and the need to fucking fix bugs!!! I still cant listen to anyone!

BTW i need a new com with a faster processor, more RAM, fast graphics card and a 5.1 sound and lots of money to buy software.... And also to play Doom 3!!!

Maybe i should just settle for a Teddy Bear. Damn there are too many smart ppl around me.... Life is gay. Napfa is soon and i am gonna FAIL big time. My NS friends are also gay too. Cant get them out. Chris is doing gay stuff in the BAND.... Junyi and Chris in NDP.

Feeling so wird (*weird corrected in 2005) and lost now. FUCK this is gay!

Thursday, July 29, 2004 10:26 AM :

Went to LAN late night with chris yesterday. For the first time chris wants to lan more than me. we lost to computer again at Rise of Nations. Damn the AI programmer at Microsoft. Was quite fun for me but chris was damn pissed. And he got caught for playing Bridge and he says he is gonna get FUCKED. Guess thats why he look so SAD....

Finally got A USB 2.0 thumbdrive from that stupid singnet ranger voucher. but its only 256MB and its a rebranded Trek.

Reminder to self: Tell chris about carebear at Bugis

Friday, July 30, 2004 7:06 AM : Titled : Weird Luck Day to Remember.

Woke up early in the morning to do it. When i finished it, the fucking black ink in my printer died again!!!. Went to sch late and when i went to mrt, i lose my ezlink card. FUCK this is the second time. Called home but Dad said its not at home....

Went to sch. FUCKING LATE. Nearly got screwed... Tutorial after that lab was cancelled. Went to Com skills but the lesson only last for 1hr becoz teacher has to go off early. Went to look for Pat and he was quite nice. But he asked me lots about Flash, Dreamweaver and his scanner??? WTF. Oh ya and the BOOK. Since sch ended too early. Decided to go back to old sch. And after asking around for coins, the fucking bus fare cost $1!!!. And then on the bus i think i picked up a $1 coin. HUH??

Went to sch and there was the usually screwing but actually got to try some stuff with OS X. Then was about to go home at 6pm when i went to the lair and the soccer table was working and i saw a old guy called Joey there. But my skills had deproved... Watched them play until 7pm. Went to J8 and saw lots of stuff. Onimusha looks cool. Tmw is only GEP openhouse so i dun wanna go but chris gave his tixs away and he wanted to LAN again

Damn and i have that one day gap between wednesday(went lan with chris ) and friday

Saturday, July 31, 2004 8:27 AM :
