Showing posts from 2010
Originally i planned to write a 500-1000 words essay here, fully depicting and describing how this year had gone by. However, i felt that it's better to keep some of the changes with myself. In another words, i'll make this short. 2010 will end in less than 2 hours from now. This year was an extremely important year for me. From my results to enlistment into the service, i'm a changed person from before. No longer an introvert, i find myself being able to reach out to people much easier. It is also easier to express myself, and i seldom shake things off without fully understanding them. 2011 will be a rather busy and in some sense, sad, year for me. Busy as i'll be participating in several battalion activities as well as overseas exercise. Sad as a lot of my friends in the service will be ORD-ing somewhen in the year. Whatever the case be, so far i'm happy with the change in myself. I hope to constantly change for the better, and also overcome the challenges that wi...
I wanted to write this today, but i'm quite busy and had to write this at night. I decided to do it now, because tomorrow's the last day of 2010 and i wanted to do my reflections/resolutions post tomorrow (I'm sticking to 1-post-a-day). I guess you could say that today is a...turning point. Something like that. I met her today. Or more like, she asked me out. It's just for something simple as passing an item to her, a game in fact. I think speaking around in circles like this doesn't help. Let me compose my thoughts and write everything down in an organised and chronically sound way. --- It started 2 days ago, 28 Dec 10. I saw her adding some pages to her favourites on Facebook, some of it including games that i played. I talked to her about it and she raised to me that she had a malfunctioning disc. Now, being the friend i am to a lot of my friends (Woah), i suggested to her that i could lend her my copy since i also have it. We sealed the meeting yesterday night, ...
My last post was at 11 Dec...that means last week. Yet to me, felt like eons ago, simply because this week was so boring! --- Monday, there's only me and one more person in the office. That's it, 2 out of 9 person in the office. Naturally it means any kind of tasks that comes by we had to do it whether or not we know how to or not. It's not like people really cared whether you can do it...they just want to know someone is on it. Tuesday, most came back except for a few. Again, sat in the office for almost the whole day doing nothing but maybe playin' with my ipod. Wednesday. At least that day it got a little more interesting. We went out to detention barracks to hand over some documentation. My sir and i was talking about how that girl we saw there looks really cute and all there. Heh. Thursday. Just like Tuesday, except for the fact everyone is back. It really means that more chairs will be occupied and nothing else. Friday, my day doing duty. Sat in the room for the w...
It has been a LONG time since i came here. The last time i remembered was the day i use my phone to do so (Is it?). Anyways, in that BIG span of time that had passed me, LOTS (Pardon my caps here and there, but i feel like it) of thing have happened. First off, the old clerks of S1 Branch have already ORD'ed. Congrats to them. All of them except for one (That idiot upperstudy i have, of course). No one really feel sad or anything, which i find quite surprising since they are here with us for quite some time and provide a lot of help and advice. But at the end, it's a happy thing to see them being...'released'. Next up, the audit is OVER! Now, i just spend my days in the office playing my ipod and sitting down staring at the computer screen. I have to say, the audit has given me much knowledge of how our branch members work. I can say for certain WHO are the ones who really do work when it's absolutely required, as well as the ones who refuses to work NO MATTER what ...
Well, i'm doing this with a phone now, so pardon any errors and whatnots. --- Did my duty yesterday. Man, am i glad to sign up for this plan. Spend the whole day surfing the net and watching videos. It's quite cool to do it on a phone for me, since it's a whole new experience. Might get a little buggy at times, but it works and i think i should be glad for what it can do. Currently, the most bandwidth intensive stuff is probably HD Youtube videos, but i'm still exploring so i'm not very sure of how 'free' i can go with this thing. I've also managed to read some chapters of manga (though i have to admit it's a pain to navigate around). No regrets for me so far. That's all i'll post for today. Not exactly easy to type the whole thing out for me. Gonna go sleep soon..
Oh well, my birthday is over on Monday. So much about it to spend it in camp. Nothing really happened in camp this week...all i realized is that Table Soccer is quite fun!
Day by day, i want to pop the question to you. Did anything change since that day? Perhaps it did for you, but the situation is as sticky as it is for me. ...all i know is, i want to ask you soon. ...because i don't have much time left to play.
Well, been some time since i've written anything here, i might as well do so now since i'm free. --- Went to our department's cohesion on Friday. It was super fantastic. We ate at Sakura buffet outlet at Dhoby Ghout MRT station, which really happened to be just outside the entrance to the MRT station, contrary to what i thought to be. I'm still like the old me, in terms of appetite. I only had 3 rounds of food in 2 hours. Round 1: Japanese. Sushi and Salmon and all those raw stuff. Round 2: Fried. Ebi and shrimp and dumplings. Round 3: Raw meat. Mostly fish, i guess. It was only 40 minutes of eating, and the rest of the time i spent talking to my sir about work. I guess i'm not really suitable for buffets. After that, we went lan-gaming at some mall somewhere down the street. Played Modern Warfare instead of MW2 because it lacks multiplayer capability. It was really fun because there were evenly matched players amongst us, unlike the last time where only me and one ...
...all we've been doing for the past few weeks are probably for today. The Army Half Marathon. Unfortunately, OR fortunately, i'm the water point party member, hence i don't have to do any walks or runs. The thing that's disgusting is that i had to book in earlier yesterday night to help load the stores and set up the tables. --- Went back to camp last night at about 2230hrs. Changed and had a really short nap of 10 minutes before we fall in at the Parade Square at 2330hrs. We helped load up the stores onto the truck and we board the bus headed to Fullerton Bay hotel at about 0045hrs. It was a nice 1 hour of napping time. Reached the place at about 0145hrs. We started to unload all the stores we have and set up the tables at our designated point. I was in team 1, hence our team was set to be at the front of the running direction such that runners will reach us the fastest. We move the water and the necessary items to our point as quickly as we can. Isaiah was surprising...
Oh right, back from another book-out. It's just luck that i keep blogging only when it's book-in day. Oh well, let's start on my events already. --- This past week was a rather busy week for me. What is going to happen is, next week will be our Human Resource Audit check. Basically, a few auditors will be paying our unit, our branch to be exact, a visit and take their time to check our files and stuff to see if we play by the book and go through proper procedures when doing stuff. I'm not looking forward to it as it would be extreme late dismissal times. I'm talking about working shifts of 8am to 9-10pm. It's been like this for the past week as we're making sure our files are correctly done up and stuff. Anyways, it's still a pre-audit check, meaning to say we're not gonna be blamed for anything wrong...yet. So whatever goes, goes. --- Had a battalion live run on friday at East Coast Park. I'm a water point man, so i need to hand out chips for th...
These words are within for a long time...waiting to be released...waiting to be spoken to the person whom it is meant for. " It has been a long time since we have any contact. ...and our last contact ended as what it seemed to me...a conflict. A quarrel. Something that probably will lead us to being strangers forever. Yet i was the one who started it. I was the one who went too far out of his way just to earn your attention. I wanted to impress you. I wanted you to know that even till this day, 4 years since i have first confessed to you, you're still the one who occupied the space in my heart. Because of what happened last year, because of what you said to me, i felt disappointment...as well as complete despair. After all, it made me feel that: "What did i devote my 3 years of life to? A pillar of false hope and anticipation." I was, from that day onwards, set determined to forget everything about you and just let it go. But whenever i feel down and hopeless, your f...
Well pals, it's already Sunday and i'm heading back to 'hell' tonight. It has been a good week, doing nothing but enjoying 'freedom' outside of camp. I really enjoyed it, and i'm feeling really depressed about going back. Anyways, i just have to accept the fact that it is going to be like this for the remaining 20 months i have left out of this service. ...and not to forget, 20 months for me to finish my gaming before plunging into my studies. --- I don't really feel like saying any other stuff so just enjoy.
Alright, just to share some info with you guys, i've created a facebook account as of yesterday. In serious need of some friends, so if you don't mind, link up with me using my email address: <2 Oct 2023: I removed my email here. What in the holy RA was i thinking when i put my email address here. And hey, i somehow actually came back to changing this more than 10 years after the post was made.> Cheers people, hope to see you guys around.
Well, it has been quite some time since my previous post. The biggest update however, is that i've bought Starcraft 2! I really like how the game works. It feels like the old game, but you can't play with old strategies. They don't work as well anymore with the new units and rules. Currently i'm playing terran as my main. Although i lost and got overwhelmed in my first match, i'm getting better with each match i play, exploring new strategies that fits me. Well, i'm off to play more, so tata for now.
Alright, back from a very long break from blogging. Lots of things had happened, but anyway the important news are: 1) I've got a new gaming rig. Almost all the games that used not to work are actually running very well. 2) I've got a new handphone: A HTC Snap. Although it doesn't have a camera, it has lots of amazing functions. The keyboard is a little awkward but it'll be a breeze once i'm used to it. Too bad i didn't have the data plan to use the internet and related programmes. I'm a happy guy...for now.
Pardon me for my absence the past 2 weeks. As events from the previous week seemed pretty insignificant (Or they're just to strict for security to be posted on) i decided to skip a week of events. Time seems to pass faster recently. I think i have gotten used to the place. It may be one of the stricter places i've seen or heard, but i guess it's just something i have to tolerate for 2 years...or really, the remaining 1 year and 9 months. This week was all about moving stuff into our new place. A new place to sleep as well as a new office. I'm really worn out as i did a lot of moving. My fingers, already devastated by the skin condition i bear, feels really irritated by the dust and the sheer heaviness of the objects i'm carrying. --- Yesterday was a really terrible day. Spoiled by someone whom i'm sorry to, and yet angry at because of her indecisiveness and weird mindset. I can say with confidence that this weekend is officially spoilt because of that event. Ser...
Hello there, i'm already back from the book-out for 2 days, and about to head back in a few hours time. A lot is going through my mind this week. I had a lot of mental stress, almost break down, had a lot of suicidal thoughts and got through that. It makes me wonder if i had that kind of superior mentality that i thought i have - to endure all stress and hardships pressed on me, and stand up against the challenges. No. More than one time, in a few days, i had thoughts of killing myself...and they are so severe that i actually skipped out on lessons and teachings because "There's no point in listening since i'm going to die soon anyway". Really. I pictured myself a few days later, on the tenth floor of my building, struggling to climb over the railings to meet my demise. It would be painful, but i would have accomplished what i've always wanted: To put an end into a meaningless life. I was so prepared for it, even went all my way to plan when to do it. I would ...
Alright guys, i believe it is time for another update on what my NS life is currently. Since my last post, i've received an extremely last-minute notice that i'm posted to another camp. It came when i was listening to music on a bus, on Thursday. As i read the message of my posting details, my heart started to sink as i read where i'm posted to. Sungei Gedong camp. The camp is quite famous, due to the fact that it is located beyond several cemeteries of all sorts. Hence it is quite natural to expect horror stories from the others. To top it off, i'm required to stay in the camp. This means that i can only book out on Fridays, just like back then when i was having my BMT. I got lucky since my first day was on a Friday. Let's get on with how that day is... --- On Friday, my father drove me all the way to the camp entrance, i exited and started to walk into the compound. After exchanging passes, i got to my block after a 15 minutes walk. Reached the place earlier than ...
Well, nothing much have changed since last week. My situation hadn't changed by much, except for the fact that now the three other buddies have left, and i'm alone in the room. It's been 2 days and i already felt that i can't take it. There's completely nothing to do at all and i'm supposed to stay in the room by myself. At least it helped cultivate my reading habits again, there i don't have much complains about. Now i just hope that the screening process can pass faster, either fail me or pass me quick, i don't care about the outcome.
...ok this whole week is a joke. I'm not going to say much since all i've been doing is nothing. Getting a new rig soon.
Well, today is one big joke. Looks like i wasn't posted to Depot Road camp, but rather i was posted there to be re-posted to some other place. The morning started with me reporting and doing a lot of written tests, as well as the rather nostalgic DISC personality classification tests. After that i had interview. I'll not go into details here. Nearing the end, i was notified that i'm reporting to Bukit Gombak Camp. It's still a stay-out campsite plus it's nearer, so it shouldn't be much of an issue. Oh well, just to let you all know about this. See you for now.
Well, and it is already the last day of my long break. I'm starting work tomorrow as a ADMIN SUPPORT ASSIST in CDC at the Depot Road Camp (Don't ask me what those words in bold mean, i'm as clueless are you are). I'm quite sure it's a 9-5 job, so i guess i can carry out my plan to get a new gaming rig. I seen a lot of Starcraft 2 replays and i'm really interested in how the game works out. The graphics for the beta version alone is very beautiful and the game is reworked. What i can say for sure is that it's not going to be alike to its predecessor. Oh well, just a short post informing you people how things are for me. I'll be right back tomorrow about how the place is.
Well, normally i wouldn't want to post when it's a little too late into the night, but i guess every now and then i can do it...just for the fun of it. --- 31st May; Monday There's no big events from the morning till evening. That's when the old crew of Wei Jun, Astley, Kenneth and me got together. Those are good old days when we still play cards, fight monsters with our handheld consoles together. Nowadays, since i'm already into NS, and Kenneth is studying in his new school, it is really hard to get together now, even if just for idle chatter. Anyway, the day starts around late afternoon... Wei Jun was just back from his Taiwan trip since 4 weeks ago (He left when i'm still in the middle of my field camp). I went over to his house to have a look at the stuff he bought back as souvenirs. Seeing the things he bought, i really have no idea whether or not he's there for work or just plain having a vacation. From stickers to a remote control helicopter, there...
Hello people, it's me again. ...in case you have no idea, which you probably won't, this is my 100th post since the start of this blog in 2008. Unfortunately, i chose to do this post in a boring day with no particular events or what-so-ever, so i'd think this is a short post. ...not if i try to talk some random crap. --- Well, with our POC over, meaning we no longer need to book-in on sundays anymore, so i have to admit that today (Or yesterday, as it turns to be a few minutes ago) is a little weird and out of place. I guess i've gotten used to NS life already. What i miss are the people around me, recruits and commanders alike. ...but it would seem that these worries are unneccessary as i'm meeting them tomorrow to collect the company T-shirts. I plan to go and after the collection, perhaps have lunch or even dinner with the crew. My relatives said that i've changed after BMT. They said that i'm more open towards others and i'm more sincere with them du...
Well, i wanted to do this before the day ends, so here i am. Hello everyone. I'm back from the last book-out of my BMT. I think i should take this slowly...day to day. --- Day 1; 24th May, Monday Well, the worst thing of the day really, is the fact that Jia Wei is the Platoon I/C for breakfast. Now, in case i haven't said anything about him (Which i think i did not), he is...abnormal. A person with who closed himself from others, he tries to shift responsibilities away from him. He's famous in the company for his ability to talk to insects (Which is a little dubious) and cosplaying. You did not read wrong. Anyway, proceeding with his mistakes, he can't remember how to shout commands or to shout them loud enough for the platoon to hear. In the end everyone was punished in one way or the other. Marching on the spot, a drill that easily tires you. Went ahead and did de-kitting as our first period. Spray paint the tent pegs and shovel blades and left them out to dry for a r...
Hello everyone, i'm back from another book-out, albeit a little late this time. I've gotten myself a RT...or remedial training. The reason being is that i stayed at home because of some neural infection...on Monday and Tuesday. I reported sick on Sunday and i felt like crap. Seriously. I couldn't even stand up and walk by myself. My father had to support me on our way to the clinic. I thought it's just fever, but the doctor said it's something much more serious...to the extent that, if i feel dizzy again, 'rush him to the A & E' the doctor said. Anyway, i'm pretty much all recovered, maybe with just a little bit of cough but i'll survive that. Let's get on with the topic. --- Day 1 - 18th May; Tuesday This day starts at night, because the company COS said to book in one evening, so i had to take the train from EW27 Boon Lay all the way to EW1 Pasir Ris. A 2 station train ride lasting 1 hour and several minutes. Then my dad ferry me to the Fer...
Another Sunday, another book-in day, but this week is a little special. It's the last week with any important events. This week...is Live Range week. ...but let's talk a little about last week. ...about the Individual Marksman Training...or the IMT as we call it. IMT is harder than i thought. At the end of it, i was perspiring like hell and to make things worse, we're firing virtual targets at a wall in an air-conditioned environment. In live range, it's going to be in a grassy environment under the hot sun, and the range is really gonna be 100m away as compared to the simulated 100m when you're really looking at a wall not 5m away. The difference in this is you're gonna have difficulty seeing your laser sight at night. My shoot had a good beginning and ending, with a really bad in-between. My zeroing was near perfect, as some of the others put it. All my shots are closely packed. I thought that i had the marksman in my bag already. Then comes a myriad of proble...
Sunday. It means that i need to go back already. Frankly speaking, these few days of rest did not exactly make me feel better. In fact, i've felt better. My sense of taste is still nowhere to be found, and my fever comes and goes as it likes. Flem in my throat, i expel them with my nose because i can't cough them out. Somehow, no matter how much i expel, it just keeps refilling. I think i'm going to report sick again when back in camp...sooner or later. --- On side note, i just realised that you cannot take too much Strepsils in a period of time. I just noticed the instructions on the box...One every 2-3 hours. Could this be the cause of my loss of taste? I have no idea. Anyway, need to pack, so see you next friday.
Second post of the day. When this happens, it's normally because i'm really bored, or because it's something important...anyway, read on. --- Chocolate milk. Soy Bean milk. Rice Dumplings. Apple. Mixed Vegetable rice. Almond Drink. Lemon drink. Pork Porridge with roasted duck. This is about everything i ate today (Yes, in order), that doesn't have a taste. People, i think i've lost my sense of taste. I've no idea how it happen, neither can i tell how severe this is. The only thing i can taste was BBQ buns, the first thing i ate this morning, as well as my Lemon & Honey Strepsils lozenges. I tried having a teaspoon of soy sauce, and all i can taste is some degree of sourness. I have no clue how this happened, but i can assume that my fever had something to do with it. Although it did dropped to 38.1 degrees on my last measuring, it's still fever. It's funny how some people still think coughing is a more severe ailment, compared to losing your senses. ...
Hello people, back again from camp. It's a hectic week, since it's Field Camp week. I'd be lying if i said that it's all fun and no grilling. In fact, i think it's more of tortures than enjoying it. So bad, i got fever at high 39.4 degrees, and was sent home to rest yesterday right after field camp ended. Even as i'm typing this, after a night of rest and sleep, i still feel groggy and light-headed (I mean, come on, i using a lot of wrong words and phrases here and there), but i'll try to finish it now. --- Day 1; Monday 3rd May We're preparing for field camp on Tuesday, so there's a lot of packing to be done. There are 7 packs of items as well as some store items like a shovel to dig and stuff like that. It was also the day when we have our firepower demonstration. Let's just skip to the demonstration. Firstly, we went to the multi-purpose hall to gain knowledge about the different kinds of guns. Not surprisingly, presenters emphasized on the po...
Alright guys, it's already the day for me to book-in. I think i've enjoyed myself these past few days, with Wei Jun and his Wii and all those dinners and stuff. --- With today, it's the end of the 3rd week of 7 weeks of my BMT. Time passes amazingly fast when you're not noticing or counting. I guess soon, it'll be 27th of May already. That's in less than 4 weeks time, in fact. In my opinion, this week is probably the most physically and mentally grilling week because of the field camp. For PES C people we got only a 3 day field camp, but it's still 3 days in full attire and that's some heavy package. Our superiors had already warned us that during the camp people can lose their temper very easily. I just hoped that everyone, not just me, in my section or even the platoon can stay cool in the heads all the way till the end. Anyway, i still look forward to the things we can learn and all those stuff we can use. Heard from Wei Jun we'll be firing blanks...
Hello. Hello to everyone reading this. I'm back from adjustment period of NS. It's been a rather long time...but i made it. Never thought that i would survive it unscratched...but i did. There are some things that i just can't say because of security reasons, but i'll try my best to way what i think i can. Before that, let's go all the way back to the day of enlistment. --- 2 weeks ago...12th April 2010. I woke up earlier than i always do. With a little hesitation, i stepped out of my bed. After washing up, for the first time in years...i made my bed. I made coffee and just sat in front of the computer. I took a look at yearbooks of previous schools. Memories flashed past and disappeared as quickly as they came. I put the books down and drank the coffee. Cold...just cold. Seems like i got caught up in reading and i forgot about the coffee...i'm quite disappointed that the last cup of coffee i drink before i embark is cold. Then a few moments later, when i was ab...
Ok, so you guys got in luck. I feel like posting now so this will be the last post instead. Last post until i book out of camp after who-knows how many week. --- So, in less than 12 hours time i'd be sitting on a boat towards the off-shore island for my BMT (I don't think i need to spell out. If you don't know, read previous post). I'm quite nervous, new experiences, new faces, new rules. I don't think i would get into much trouble, but the thought of being unable to accomplish something that's required still scares me. I have this weird mentality - I'm really scared when i leave my comfort zone and dive into something new. Very. Just for your information, since i stopped working in January, all i've been doing is house-keeping and maybe, occasional travelling for sales. Heck, the thought of been unable to watch another episode of at the 1pm time slot on Discovery Channel scares me really bad (Yes, i am THAT much of a fan). ...but what can we do about i...
This is possibly my last post before i go into the service, depending on my mood tomorrow, so yeah, read slowly and enjoy. --- Went out with Wei Jun yesterday night for dinner. We originally had it planned at 7.30pm and Astley was supposed to come along, but Wei Jun had some aircraft problem last minute and Astley has something going on about his father and sister...AGAIN. Oh well, at the end i'm only able to have my dinner at 9pm...and i didn't have any breakfast or lunch yesterday. We talked a lot about Basic Military Training...the Do's and the Don'ts. I feel that i learned a lot, from things like daily area cleaning to grenade throwing. Wei Jun has a interesting way to show that time passes really fast in there. He said: "Once you're in there, you're like a hamster. From the morning when you wake up, you'll go run in a treadmill, then have food, rest, go run in treadmill again, then sleep. The next day: Exact same schedule as yesterday. After weeks,...
Random Post #2: Overlord on Xbox 360 - Blues vs Zombies With a lot of water around, bringing any other minions with me would be suicidal (As none of them can swim), hence i filled the ranks of my minions with 25 Blues - The only minion that are able to move across water. The sewer is filled with zombies. Blues are particularly weak in physical attacks, so i have to dispose of all zombies by myself before moving. This is a tedious and long process. Then, i spotted an Altar of Health, where i can sacrifice my minions to regain health. I had my minions smash around objects to find if there are any valuables. There are other fountains for me to summon other minions - Red and Green. As i'm contemplating on how i fill my ranks... The Blues started dying...one by one at an alarming rate. 25! 24! 23! Then suddenly 10! 9! I had only 2 Blues left before i realised what hit me. As i turned my back, i saw numerous zombies attacking me and my minions. At least 15 zombies are in sight and i'...
Another update about my cough: Unfortunately for me, even after i finished the whole pack of prescribed antibiotics, the cough still remains! The past week of medicine-eating was hell. In a day, i have to take my medicine 3 times. Each time, i have to swallow 5 pills (Running nose, sore throat and antibiotics) and 2 teaspoon of cough syrup. I, in extreme, hate the cough syrup in particular. It taste just like typical cough syrup, with a sweet-sour kind of taste that REFUSES to die off. It's extremely...how do i say...queasy. Even after 1 whole hour, the taste is still lingering in my mouth! Horrible...just horrible. Sad to say, of all kinds of medicine i'm issued, the cough syrup is the longer-lasting one. I expect to suffer for 3 more times. --- So, National Service isn't there far for me now. There are still things to be done. Like prepare packing my stuff for it, getting new and durable glasses, stuff like that. I kind of wonder how it would be like, already, and am look...
...well, i've fallen sick. It's cough and sore throat. The usual stuff. Went to Jurong East Polyclinic on Monday. Mum told me to go later, because the mornings are for students and workers who wants to take MC. So i reached the place at 10.15am... ...i've never regretted listening to her ever...neither have i ever seen SO MANY people in the clinic before. The 2nd floor was packed like...i have no idea how to describe this. There's just a lot of people and i had to stand because there's too many people. Even if there's a free seat, i didn't take it because there a lot of elderly people. What happened in the end was, i had to stand for 1 and a half hour there. Went to the pharmacy and continued the wait for my medicine...i'm reminded that i'm an adult...when i had to pay adult fees... Oh well, i'm still sick.
...so like, i'm gonna do this sooner or later, so why not now? The fact is, it's not once or twice since i've typed halfway and just exit out of frustration. Yes, i'm going to share my results for the 'A' levels. The ending line results: General Paper - C Physics - B Mathematics - B POA - B H1 Economics - C Project Work - B H1 Mother Tongue - B General Paper - It's like what you would normally call - a miracle. Despite the fumble in my essay, having erasing everything when we're 15 minutes into the exam, i managed to get a C. It really turn the tables for me, and with this, i beat the no. 15 of the school, who's got 2 A. Nice. Physics - Well, i can't say i didn't see it coming. My MCQ was rather messed-up, so yeah. Mathematics - Well, after doing that imbalanced paper, a C would have made my day already. So a B is quite impressive in my opinion. POA - This is my biggest disappointment. I guess i can only say that the private candidates last y...
Random post #1: Pokemon HeartGold on the NDS - Failed to catch Mareep - I walked around the tall grass, triggering random battles with Rattatas and Zubats. All of a sudden, one encounter caught my eye. A Mareep. Back then, a real long time ago when i played the Gameboy Colour's Gold Version, Mareep was one of my favourite, and not to mention a powerhouse when it evolved into Ampharos. I set my eye in focus, and decided what Pokemon to use. My Level 17 Quilava will probably kill it with any move, and the rest is too weak. Then i saw a Pokemon that is the natural enemy of all Electric Pokemons. Onix. A level 3 Onix. I swtiched out Onix and begin my attack to weaken the target. I ordered my Onix to use "Rock Smash". It dealt like...10% damage of Mareep's Max Health, but Mareep's "Tackle" can only deal 1 HP damage to my Onix. My first thoughts is: "I can duke this out." Then somehow, the TV at the living room caught my eye, and i was spamming the A...
Went to the NTU Open House today. The trip was alright. The party only consists of Wei Jun and I, as we dived into one of the biggest educational campus in Singapore (Well, it's a university. What do you expect?). It starts off with us taking a bus into the campus. A little confused about where to alight, Wei Jun suggested the 'follow-the-crowd' method. Which would normally work. Today, it's hard to differentiate visitors and students. Appeared that we're following students. From the point where we alight, we walked to a nearby cafeteria and started to look for the location. After a long walk, some climbing and descending the stairs, we reached the place - Lecture Theatres. I was looking for the Tan Chin Tuan Lecture Theatre for the Physics Talk. As we walked around, we see tons of lecture theatre, but the one i'm looking for. After that, i just walked around the booth to see what's going on. Wei Jun suggested asking, which i reluctantly complied because i w...
Well, i'm owing this for a few weeks, had the time to do it now, so why not? Game Review #3: Dead Rising (Xbox 360 version) Story: 8/10 The story starts out as photojournalist Frank West got a scoop about a town having some major events happening. He entered the town via helicopter and from it, he saw violence and destruction happening all over the place of the town. All of a sudden, military helicopters are after them, and Frank decided to stay in a local mall for 3 days, telling the pilot to come back after 3 days. From there, Frank needs to survive, with or without the help of other survivors, and the need to deal with psychopaths, people who became insane since the incident started. Nothing much is known about the plot from the start, you don't know how the zombies came about, you don't know why the military sealed up the town. Almost nothing. To sort of mess the story up more, they threw in characters from a third party. However bad the start is, as the game progresses...
I felt like i'm hit by high blood pressure today. Seriously, since the day i got my results (It's actually not bad, but i failed my expectations), i felt like everyone is out to annoy me, and try to mess up with my life in one way or another, annoying me and trying to diss me off. Believe or not...i'm gonna list them out. Villain #1 and #2: My parents. BOTH of them I don't know whether the two of them get it or not. I don't even know if they are even aware that i hate them much more than i hate trash, and i don't care as a matter of fact. But yeah. Seriously, people who don't know a thing should just shut the fudge up. I don't need your consolations because i am disappointed at my results (I can't be bothered about both of your expectations. I never cared enough about trash), and there the two of you saying: "We are not gonna scold you because of blah blah blah..." As though i give a crap about your opinions about my results. I don't ev...
Alright. This is it. The day we have all been waiting for since we dropped our pens on the table 3 months ago. It has been long... I have lost sleep since a week ago... I have had doubts... I do feel depressed... ...but we're here...for the moment of truth. "Even if i cannot be the top, please give me the grades that i have worked for, so that at least i have a place to go." I hope...I REALLY hope that i will finally be able to have a good sleep today. --- Onwards to the sacred battlefield where justifications and limits are revealed. Tools of steel in rage they conquered, weed out the killing of victim's suffer.
...i had actually cried while watching a Korean Drama...wow, i never thought that this day would come. ...and it wasn't even about love. --- TOMORROW!
