Maybe cos of facebook? Your frens more or less know what you're doing from your updates in facebook. But i think they are not exactly detailed enough, so imma keep this blog alive =)

Been wayyy too long since i updated anything detailed, so i dun reli know where to start. Maybe
my grad parade first? Was quite terrible cos' i was running 38.5 degrees fever on the day of the parade itself. I almost wanted to fall out during the rehearsal in the morning of the big day. But i went through it anyway, and survived my day on panadols. Regardless, i successfully completed the parade! Was kinda cool, with the Chief Of Army, and Sergent Major of Army going down to grace the parade. And so from that day on, i've been wearing the 3Sg rank =)

Fast forward to my birthday! My family went for a trip to thailand which i couldn't go. They came back on 17th Dec, then my parents went overseas to China again for holiday on 19th night. I duno why, but they are kinda crazy about travelling around the world lol. Anyway, sec sch guys came over on 19th night to celebrate my birthday. Usual band hero and stuff, but this time with yj and jer around. And bk finally stayed over at my house. Thank you all who remembered my birthday!

Moving on to x'mas eve. A half day in camp, so all of us booked out in the afternoon. Went to GV Tiong Bahru with bunk mates to watch 3D Avatar! Easily one of the best movie i've ever watched. The visuals were AMAZING and it being 3D made it so life-like. Good thing Ernest's sis helped us book tix before hand, cos when we went there, the queue was VERY long xD After the movie, most of us went our seperate ways while Sheng Yu and I went to City Hall to meet Wei Sheng and Christopher Ong for Hope Church Christmas Service at Suntec, 'At the Door'. Enjoyed myself singing all the songs, the drama was really meaningful and from that event on, I am a new Believer of Christianity. Yea, no more 'Free thinker' under the 'Religion' section of forms to be filled in. I think it's a huge commitment to have, but i believe i am prepared. =)

On the day of X'mas itself, camp mates came over to play- band hero DUH! I must admit, Chong Thee is very good with the drums. Casper was much better than I thought- able to play expert guitar with a decent score, so far the only ones who can do that in my house are gab and me =O Wei Sheng sings quite well, and sings VERY well for 'If you could only see- Tonic', and he's got me addicted to the song now. Watched Scary Movie 1&amp;amp;4 on Mio TV cos it was only 2 bucks permovie, so cheap. But the movies were so lame xD &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/Sz21Bo38UhI/AAAAAAAAAF8/KSYMVTqcZHc/s1600-h/22431_219119884050_622034050_3157288_6053291_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/Sz21Bo38UhI/AAAAAAAAAF8/KSYMVTqcZHc/s320/22431_219119884050_622034050_3157288_6053291_n.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421688566180499986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Then on the last Sunday of 2009, I met up with my primary school mates at Causeway Point! Uhh for half of them, we met up once during end of sec 4, but for the other half, i havent seen them in 7 years!! Was kinda weird at first, duno what to talk about to each other cos we havent seen each other for so long. But its kinda amazing we still rmb stuff about what happened during pri sch days. We even rmb which 'house' we belong to during pe in sch! HAHAHA. But zomg, i ate pizza hut delivery during x'mas, then had pizza hut the next day cos my parents just came back and wanna eat pizza hut, then i had pizza hut AGAIN that day cos they wanna eat pizza hut X.X Kinda disappointed Ms Nalini couldnt make it, but it was great meeting everyone again! And of course, we'll meet again some time soon =D

Gonna be booking in again in an hour time. Last week was quite cool. 4km route march in mopp4 then 2km mask run. Siao bo. Me and zhaodong are the only pair to catch up with front scout, but im like one of the last for mask run. LOL. Our 'father', course commander is back from whatever he was doing the last few weeks, so our lives in camp are getting a bit more regimental. Learnt how to drive some mini-van thing too. Wasn't too confident with all the s-course and reverse parking, etc at first. But lucky nothing cocked up for me. So i passed the lil driving test. But then again, whole course only 1 guy failed. Lol. Then had dinner with the course and our commanders at sakura buffet at woodlands. This is like what, my fourth? fifth? time eating there already. Most of the commanders just kept to themselves, only 2 of 'em were chatting with us. =/ Overall fun still lar.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I'm hooked on to NGS2 on my ps3 currently. Hooked onto guitar hero too. But weekends so lil time to play. =( Still gotta study for stupid tests which are sooo time consuming. Oh well, at least i got day off this coming friday! Wahaha. Maybe going back cjc again to look look. Iuno, get ivan along and ask him pass me my freaking ds before i forget that i own a ds. LOL.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


Here i was thinking the ris low thingy will finally die down since the new miss s'pore world is found. But see what i found:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;


Ris low thinks that stealing is fun! HAHAHA hilarious. I wonder how long more she wants to stay in headline news.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Im addicted to Creed's songs. Some are reli emo, but nice! "Im six feet from the edge and im thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down~~" Being addicted to songs is good. Just keep thinking about that song in your head while doing route march, and you forget all the pain and fatigue. =D

I reli did get into CBRD, together with quite a few ppl from my section. But ANG ZHENYI DIDNT GET IN! ZOMG! For the first time in 5 months, we're seperated. Wah lao eh, feels as though i just broke up with my gf or something. LOL. And according to him, bridging sucks. =/ Oh well, i just hope life gets better for him soon.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
As for me, CBRD training the last few days was..quite okay. Lectures most of the time, and the stuff we learn is insanely a lot. Chemical defence is so chemistry(duh), biological is so biology(duh), and radiological is so physics. Wtf sia, totally like studying for 'A' levels again. And to make things worse, the theory tests are much stricter than anything i've had till now. Fail once got retest. But failing retest will get you out-of-course. O.O Hell, every time we got time, my bunk mates will be there reading notes. Zomg scary.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Oh and the bunks are ridiculous. Super small, dusty bunks with double-deckered beds, shared by eleven people. Baths got no doors, theres only one water cooler in the whole building. Terrible living conditions. =/ Good thing is, our commanders focus a lot on fitness, 5bx with run every morning, doing chin-ups every time before meals. Okay lar, nothing much to mention, 'cept we played bball while wearing gas mask ytd. Quite shag, but dam fun. Heh. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
My PC guitar hero is sold! And i got the ps3 guitar hero! YAY! But its not something i can play 24/7, fingers too pain. In fact, i stop after 1 hr of gameplay each time. Its been fun so far, 'hard' difficulty isnt exactly v hard, i think imma move on to 'expert' soon. =D
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Since monday is public holiday, we got 3 days break including today. My parents took this chance to go overseas and have a holiday AGAIN. They're crazy. Everytime got chance, go for holiday by themselves and leave me and my bro at home. But not like it matters lar, i also dont reli wanna go. I got no idea where they are now, but its only 2 days 1 night, so oh well. And my dad is hilarious, sent me and my bro a msg saying:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"hi, kai and rui, we just hd dinner. A lot of insects. Take care. Mum Dad"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
HAHAHA i couldnt stop laughing when i saw the msg. It was okay at first, i understood what he meant, that there are a lot of insects at the place they are. But reading the msg again, he sounded as though he ate a lot of insects for dinner! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Funny. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Oh ya i just noticed the ps3 trophies thingy after i added japhet as fren. Hell he got what, 100+ bronze trophies and some silver/gold ones. Hes a level 5 trophy collector, while im only level 2 -.- Imma try and get more trophies on my GH5. Heh. Oh and to all my frens with ps3, add me ps3 fren at 'StrikeDKaiZ'. Or just leave ur PSN name on my tagboard or something and i'll add you. =D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-8442472245517947700?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/8442472245517947700/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=8442472245517947700' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/8442472245517947700'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/8442472245517947700'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/09/just-listen.html' title='Just Listen'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-1414908867487939528</id><published>2009-09-13T10:44:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T10:49:56.857+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Lazy to blog much.

Life in ETI is...tougher than I thought. As in the regimental is dam strict, compared to sispec at least. Im in the same bunk as my long-time buddy jon ang again. HAHAHA. The whole BTC-STW only has 2 platoons, im in plt 2, while raphael and sinyean are in plt 1. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
All of us feel asif we're back to being recruits. We get scolded and punished for not singing while running. Hell, how much and how loud do they expect us to sing while we're running 4.5km? I was at the back, trying to lead songs all the way. Me and a few others reli try to lead until du lan liao, come back still kena scolded. Then water parade must say 7 core values/ specialist's creed. Wth sia. And we have dam lil admin time. I hardly have any time to stay in the bunk since first parade till last parade. And we always have activities until 9+pm. The bathing water is soooo freaking cold that i dread taking a bath even though im all sweaty and stuff. Of course, i still bathe. But ZOMG 2 platoons use 2 toilets for bathing. There's ALWAYS a long queue for the bath. So, 2 choices, either really rush up, strip, get bathing things and be first, or relax, wait for everyone to finish then go bathe. I've been doing the latter. Too lazy to rush.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
And im the armskote 2ic now. Sian. Picked by random, i was thinking i wont so suay one. 46 ppl, choose 2 for armskote ic and 2ic. Somehow, i just kena. Lol suay. Had a stupid highway code with no prior experience, no revision or anything. So obviously, i failed to meet the 90% mark. Only got 64% the first try, 86% the second try, then finally PASS 90% at 3rd try. LOL. Anyway, life there is quite boring, lectures most of the time. Then lecture finish, go practical. It's been all about demolition this week, i wonder if we're doing something else next week.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
For the first time in a long time, im actually feeling emo that i have to book in again. Iuno, i thought i should have gotten used to army life by now. Maybe its just the sudden change in regimental discipline thats hard for me to swallow. Im reli glad at least jon ang is in the same bunk as me again. Things are gonna be that much tougher if i dont have any close frens with me in ETI. But then again, i bet it's the same everywhere else. Heard from ching that boonping is saying air force is also dam strict. ASLC cant be any better, with darence wanting to ooc already. YJ's going to taiwan for 4 weeks armor training. Bahh, i reli envy hou cheng and jer who're gonna become 3SG next week or something. =/ 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Okayy enough of complaints. At least there's something to be happy about. I'm only gonna stay in ETI-BTC-STW until 14th Sept, which is when we will have completed our basic combat engineer course. Will be going back to PLC for beret ceremony on that day. Then post out again after that. Most likely CBRE at seletar camp, if i do well for the interview next week. I just hope life in cbre gets at least a lil better than this. Bleh.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Okay okay i'll prolly set up a facebook acct when i book out next week, if the total votes reach 5! Quite impossible i think, so few ppl reads my blog. I dont even know who are the 3! Hahaha.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Lemme guess, the 3 are: Bk? X'tine? Yong Jian? Tag in my board if i got it right! Heh.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Booking in tmr. I always knew nee soon camp wasnt v far from my house. I just went to check out the route, i'll say i only need 15 mins bus ride to reach. LOL. But hell, so many things to bring back tmr. Ahh. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Ohh did i mention? My mum is suddenly dam ON about how my house looks. She thinks it's reli messy. So over the course of this week, she threw away my sofa bed (im using my original sofa bed now), bought a new shelf to put in my room, bought a new tv shelf in the living room and threw away the old one, then bought a new single-seat sofa to put in living room. -_____________________________-" I duno what came to her all of a sudden, but she's even having plans to buy a new house now. She just told my dad that they should find time to go look at new houses. Of course, we're not gonna sell my current house...now. Wait till 2015, got MRT and sports complex in bukit panjang, then sell. PROFIT. $.$ Oh well, i dont mind moving house actually, i think the house is getting a bit too small. But nahh, not gonna be anytime soon. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I finally ate at Kai's Fan Club (KFC) ytd for dinner. First time eating KFC ever since NS started. LOL. Then had buffet at Sakura for lunch today. TOTALLY FATTENING. Im so gonna die during PTs in camp. =/

Block leave start, laptop die. Great. And since i had to go to camp on mon and tues, i couldnt send it for repair until wed, and i only got it back ytd. At least im glad it only took 2 days to repair it. I sent my earphones in for repair as well. Sennheiser was nice enough to give me a free upgrade of my earphone, from MX75 to MX85 Sports II, cos they said the MX75 is 'beyond repair'. LOL. And yea, i got my earphones ytd as well. Cool.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Not having my laptop with me didnt really bother me much cos im already used to it through NS. Hahaha. I just played my PS3 when i got time. Im hooked onto Prototype now. ZOMG this game is INSANELY FUN! Okayy definitely not the type of game for ppl who cant take gore and strong violence. It's rated M18 after all. But ZOMG the fast paced action and dark, intriguing storyline makes it the best game i've ever played. But since there's gore, i got to be careful when my parents are at home, they'll prolly scold me if they see the game. There was once, i was playing, then my mum just sat down at the sofa, watching me play while shes eating some fruit. I didnt even dare to go around fighting stuff, i just jumped and flew from building to building, enjoying the scenery. LOL.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Official news that a cheaper, slimer ps3 is coming out. I doubt im gonna sell my current ps3 to get it. No point. If we're talking about PSP, where u need to carry it around wherever u go, then yea u prolly wan a slimer version. But ps3 u're just gonna plug it to ur tv and leave it on the ground. So yea, no point. Heh.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Tmr is the last day of block leave. Im gonna stay home and emo about how i got no more leaves to take for this year.

Grand slam was okayy, quite shag, shell scrape was crap. Went back to camp and had section live firing the following day. I didnt have COS duty that weekend, so all was good. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Had urban ops the following week. Warrant Billay? Pillay? was dam funny. SLOW IS SMOOTH! SMOOTH IS FAST! Then i was sect comm those 2 days, so i had to take charge at our road control point at night. Our pwo suddenly drove the stupid rover dam fast and charged into our RCP. I thought he was testing our drills, so I was like "HALT! HALT! HALT OR I'LL SHOOT!" and my section just all started firing blanks at him. LOL. Of course, nothing happened 'cept we were told not to fire anymore blanks. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Back to camp, I was told last minute that I got regimental guard duty that friday, so i was only allowed to go home on sat morning. I was dam pissed at that moment, cos we had to book in again that sat night to prepare for route march. Bleh. I was tasked to do desk duty with Ivan Xu. We planned to take turns throughout the 14 hours of duty. Plan was for me to sleep first while he do. But hell, 8.30pm got riot drill, 9.30pm got staff parade, 10.30pm got turn-out, i sleep what crap? Then in exchange for the CDO to not have another turnout, the PTI guard comm agreed to do all the saikang for him. And i was the only one who woke up at 11+pm to help him with it. Did till 2am then it was my turn to do desk duty. -__________________________________-" So basically i didnt sleep much at all. But i think it was quite fun lar, learnt quite a bit about guard duty stuff. Heh.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
So sunday was NDP, and we had to go back for a 28km route march. Was quite tiring. Breaks in between were supposed to be 15 mins, but we took only 5 mins for most of the breaks. Lunch break was supposed to be 1 hour, but we only took a bit more than half an hour? The distance was obviously more than 28km, and I heard from duno who that a commander took a GPS to measure the distance, and it was actually 34km. LOL. The march immediately after lunch was the most shag for me, but i took a power nap during the next break, and i felt all refreshed. No problem with the march thereafter. And i was helping the rest who were lagging behind. Heh. Came back at 5+pm, parents were all waiting for us at coy line already. Its dam funny how we were supposed to proceed to leader's square to watch NDP, but all of us were walking like we have a crippled leg. LOL. And NDP was quite funny, the part where...isit MP? supposed to juggle their rifle, one of them missed and dropped the rifle. Duno what song the lyrics supposed to have "Cause" but it was shown on tv as "Cos". HAHAHA. MSN language for the win!
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Monday holiday, tuesday also off day for us. So i went back to CJC with ivan, eugene and jerome. Was good to see all the teachers again. There are sooo many new teachers now. Wanted to have a good talk with tan jek suan but he had meeting. Wanted to meet Mrs Renne Lee but she wasnt in school. =/ But at least i got to meet some of my juniors too! X'tine and jon *ahem*, emo, junyi, hutt shun, richmond, chris lye, cherie, eunice... Saw val toh and grace too, but they cant seem to recognise me xD 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Then we had Chevron's night that day. Basically a mini party for our coy at the chevron's. Didnt have to pay anything and got food got beer. What's there to complain about? Heh. Okay lar, only for a short 2 hours+, but i had fun! And apparently echo and foxtrot coy dont have this thing. Poor thing. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Booked in on wed afternoon..nothing much. 'Cept Japhet bullied my buddy Darence, so i played a lil prank on him. I first put my empty kiwi can in japhet's bedsheet. Of course he just took it out and threw it away. Then i know that he leaves his sandals outside while he bathes. So i took my black camou cream and put it in his sandals. He came out, walk walk then realized his whole feet was black. He thought somehow kiwi ended up on his legs. Then i put more black camou on his lock key, and water bottle cap. The following morning, he touched all those areas and went for breakfast. He wiped his mouth with his hands, so his mouth was black as well. HAHAHA. He didnt understand what was happening, and just took it that the kiwi he threw away wanted revenge, so the kiwi god was there to exact vengeance. LOL. Okay basically these last few days was dam funny lar, everyone ended up having black cream on them after they wake up. HAHAHA. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

This week was cool, we were allowed nights out on monday and thursday, then friday was book out day. But i had to go back on saturday for CBRE physical test. Was quite fun, 'cept they kept asking us questions while we were clearing the obstacles. For example, while we were dismantling and reassembling a 3D puzzle while wearing a bomb suit, they made us say our NRIC, then repeat it backwards. -.-
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Grand slam next week, i think im only gonna book out on sunday cos i got COS duty. But sunday also book in day.

Feels good to be clean. Was terrible cos i had flu and cough right before the camp, and i still have it now. A lot of ppl had mild fever during the camp, scary. But well, at least the 'first' field camp's over. So thing's all good. Heh.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Just went to watch Harry Potter movie with my parents just now. Everything was so fast paced, plus i didnt read the book, so there were many parts which i dun understand. And so much emphasis was on love-love between those characters. Bleh, Iuno, i dun reli think this is a good movie.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
On a random note, I realized my favorite songs currently all begin with 'n'. New divide, no surprise, no boundaries...
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Oh and while reading magazine, i found quite a useful tip.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Anatomy of a hiccup: When you gulp excess air- from laughing hard or eating/drinking too quickly- your stomach expands and causes your diaphragm to contract forcefully, which in turn slams your voice box shut, creating the 'hic' sound. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Quick cure: Drink some water with head tilted at different angles- to the side, with your chin elevated, or all the way back.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Have you ever thought about the future? What do you see?
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
You...

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Hectic week this week. Dam shag. Im lucky I didnt have to go back on sat for TSR re-test. CBRE test was insane. Doing so many IQ tests at one go. At night some more, can die one leh. Gonna have field camp next week, i think gonna be more shag. Sian. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Ohh and i finally got GTA and Eternal Sonata for my ps3. Pay day a few days ago, so i can afford to spend money! These 2 games can prolly last me for months, which by then Kingdom Hearts for DS will be out! Gotta remind myself to get back my DS from ivan some time. I hope he doesnt spoil it x.x 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Im quite tempted to start a facebook account. I'm prolly one of the very few ppl who doesn't own a facebook account. I'm quite lazy to update all those stuff, make fren requests, etc. Iuno, is facebook even worth my time? I got at least a few loyal readers, so i shall change my poll. Heh.

I miss my hair =/

Kilo coy, together with all the other Yankee platoon 2 ppl who came to sispec. So in my section of 15 ppl, i already know 12 of them when i came in. Life is pretty much similar to what was in BMT, except with much less punishments, better food, more slack time, and the list goes on. But what has changed the most, is myself.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

I was a really quiet person during BMT. Keep low profile, always emo-ing by myself, taking things TOO seriously... I duno, maybe it was hard for me to adapt to army life back then. But I'm back to being myself now that im in Sispec. Going crazy, being so freaking lame I piss ppl off sometimes, volunteering to do work, bonding more with my mates, saikang work coming to me for no reason... I'm just glad I'm back to being myself.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Gonna have sports day next week, so fast. I'm prolly gonna join bball, but volleyball looks like they lack players. It doesn't really matter, really. I just wanna have fun.

I slept throughout the whole flight to Beijing, only waking up for meals. I was reli too freaking tired.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;****-------- Life in China--------Visiting Relatives---------****&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lazy to update so much about what happened in China. Just that i got a fever of 38.2 degrees there. But the fever was gone a few hours later. PHEW. Fog in Beijing is terrible, return flight was delayed by almost 2 hours. Its been only 2 days since i returned, and im starting to miss my cousins already. =/&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Does anyone even read my blog anymore? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
NS's been good. Finished most of the things that we're supposed to finish in BMT. Only left with soc now. Was quite pissed with myself this week, cos i didnt manage to get IPPT gold. Freaking hell, i got full 25 points for IPPT, but my 2.4km run was 20 seconds short of gold. ARGH!! But i didnt get depressed the whole week or anything, just a short while cos of volleyball! Supposed to have multi-court volleyball as one of the events for Games day next week. Volleyball started this week though. Was super rushed. Monday night got trials to form a team of 6 + 2 subs. I got in. Tuesday afternoon got a short training, then tuesday night go preliminary competitions. LOL. I was in the main team with boon kai, the CJC james was a sub. We played with Eagle and Jaguar coy. Was dam stupid cos we hardly touched the ball initially. Eagle is PTP batch, so Jaguar all target them. My team all tall guys, so Eagle dun wan hit to us. So although it was 3 teams playing against each other at the same time, it was more like Eagle vs Jaguar. Lol. But somehow, we managed to emerge the victors, so we're THROUGH TO THE FINALS!! Finals gonna be cool, 4 teams playing against each other at the same time. The whole BMTC school 1 is gonna watch the match. Zai. Tug-o-war also through to the finals. Lets see if Yankee can win both. Heh. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, i've made my decision. Much to most of my fren's disappointment, I have chosen NUS computer engineering instead of NTU. I know i know, i've always been pro-NTU, but after much research, i found out that NTU computer engineering is hell, workload's very tough and all. Whereas NUS computer engineering is completely new this year, so I might as well try the new one. Iuno, i may change my mind again and choose something else next year. Shall see.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I'm reli tempted to go get a PS3. Im quite sick and tired of waiting for Kingdom Hearts to come out on DS. I need other entertainment. Lol. Not like i'll have a lot of time to play, but still...i want it xD I hope i can get subsidies from my dad, if not im reli gonna be broke. =/
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
My bro's been dam busy these few days. Hell its almost june already, and he doesnt even have a confirmed topic for his PW. Either topic doesnt meet requirements for question, or teacher reject the topic. Im dam worried for him. So I was killing a few million brain cells thinking of topics for him. Managed to come up with a few. Lets hope he gets his topic confirmed by today. Gonna ask him when he gets back later. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Stupid bball competition is on sunday. WHY CANT THEY FREAKING MAKE IT ON SATURDAY. Bleh. 1st round of round robin in sunday morning. But if we make it through to second round, i wont be able to play. Cos i gotta book in at 1945 hours on sunday. zZz.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-1560997571818850154?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/1560997571818850154/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=1560997571818850154' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/1560997571818850154'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/1560997571818850154'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/05/finals.html' title='FINALS'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-5483563245535174947</id><published>2009-05-09T23:36:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T23:52:43.448+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Book out again.

Its finally time to go NS, after taking such a longgggggg break. Im not exactly depressed or anything, but im not reli excited either. Training's gonna be tough, but im gonna try and have fun there. New friends, new experiences. Im gonna make the most of my time there, dont wanna come out and have regrets for anything. Sooo, wish me luck, i hope i dont break a bone or something. xD
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Before i started on this post, i was thinking maybe i should post enough content for my readers to read for 2 weeks. LOL. But nah, im too lazy for that. I dont even have that many readers. I may even close this blog if it becomes inactive after i go NS! I duno, shall see. I cant say much until i've actually experienced life in there. I should be out on 30th April i think. My mum left for San Francisco for a meeting early morning ytd. My dad will be overseas for a meeting around the time im coming out. My bro is spending soooo much time out with his frens everyday. My house is so empty now. My laptop, ds, and guitar hero are just sitting here collecting dust =/ Oh yea i dont mind lending my ds and guitar hero to anyone interested. I dont have time for them anyway. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I been thinking about the few near-death situations i been through. Well, not exactly near death, but...close enough xD 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
First happened during pri 5, after NDP. My dad fetched me home from school. The road was narrow, and tons of cars were on the road. My dad's car stopped behind a bus when traffic light turned red. When it turned back to green, the stupid bus started REVERSING and came straight towards our car. My silly dad looked at the bus, and thought that our car was moving forward, rather than the bus moving backwards. So rather than reversing to avoid the bus, he kept stepping on the breaks. -.- Obviously, the bus hit our car. Good thing the impact wasnt big, only the car was 'injured'. But still, scary.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Okayy then the second one is not as bad, i guess. Mas Selamat escaping from opposite my school. Hell, good thing he nvr bomb the school or anything. I was still in school when he escaped, and only left for home an hour after he escaped. When i was going home, I could see all the police cars around SJI/SCGS area, and even the Special Ops Command was mobilized. I didnt know about Mas Selamat yet at that time. But I kinda expected something terrorism related happened. It was only until the next day morning, i was on the bus, and the news reported the escape of Mas. I totally went 'OMG WTF' when i heard its opposite my school. Oh well, i hope he gets captured soon.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Last one was quite scary. The dangerous milk thing. It wasnt so bad at the very start. Only a few brands of milk were said to contain melamine. I was quite happy I wasnt affected. BUT a few days later, Yili milk was said to contain melamine too!! And I've been drinking Yili milk for a few months already! LOL. Like wtf, how suay can i get. Those few days I was left wondering whether theres a kidney stone in me, whether anything's gonna happen to me. But fortunately, nothing's wrong and im perfectly fine. Phew. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
But I think my near-death situations aren't as tense as some other frens. Like mel's mum's post natal depression. The ODAC-ers being under a waterfall when it started raining. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Oh well, i hope i dont make this list any longer, i gotta be careful when im in NS.
I think imma stop here. Soo...see you people in 2 weeks+ time. =D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-7814551165364885471?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/7814551165364885471/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=7814551165364885471' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/7814551165364885471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/7814551165364885471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/04/last-post.html' title='The last post'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-4288489283070712951</id><published>2009-04-10T22:14:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-10T22:22:22.066+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I wouldnt go that far</title><content type='html'>Bball today was dam good.

Crashed the shooting phototaking. Heh. Was quite boring though, especially the coach talking part -________________-" And x'tine forgot to bring Breaking Dawn for me even though i reminded her the night before!! Arghhhhhhhhhh!! Had cake in canteen after all the stuff in range. Was quite funny, there were 2 cakes, and x'tine got a slice from each and gave to coach. But he said it was too much, so i shared the 2 slices with him. Hahaha. Andd zomg he thinks i lost weight too O.o&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Coach: So, you have lost weight huh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Kai: Reli? Uhh yea i lost a few kg these holidays.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Coach: You used to be so *takes his hands and tries to measure some ridiculous width*&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lol trust me. The width he measured was bigger than he himself. I 100% confirm guarantee plus chop i wasnt so big last time -.- Oh well. I bought a big pack of seaweed and a box of chocolate for everyone. The price for the pack of seaweed wasnt shown in the store, and i was lazy to ask, so i just took it and went to the counter to pay. HAHAHA. Good thing it wasnt too expensive. Hmm was good to see everyone again. But the j1s dont look bonded at all. Guys 1 group, girls 1 group, dont interact at all. Lol. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, i only got...5 days left to NS. Gonna start packing my stuff after bball with the guys tmr. Hahaha. Im leading life as usual, dont reli feel anything different though i only got a few days left. Im prolly gonna read up on some NS info these few days. Andd zomg i reli reli wanna play minigolfffffffffffffffffffffff!! I duno if im gonna have time to do that after i go NS. Andd i wanna take up rollerblading slalom. I've been skating for more than 7 years already, and i can only do basic tricks. This cant go on. =/ &lt;/div&gt; For those who wanna know what slalom is:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s7hEAeiBdbA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s7hEAeiBdbA&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Its kinda hard to find slalom teachers in Singapore, since 80+% of roller blade free stylers do slide. But anyone interested? We go find slalom teacher together =D 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Oh yea, i found this site, quite good for those who needs help with Napha. Heh. http://www.ns.sg/publish/etc/medialib/nsportal/mindef_services/register_for_ns.Par.0004.File.tmp/IPPTBooklet.pdf

Heh. But im not gonna upload the pics today, i'd rather write out some quotes i find reli inspirational. Its hard for me to give proper credits, i compiled these from tons of different websites.&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"The greatest waste in the world is the difference between what we are and what we could become"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Whatever is worth keeping is worth fighting for"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Time you enjoyed wasting is not wasted time"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Dont write your name on sand, waves will wash it away. Dont write your name in sky, wind may blow it away. Write your name in hearts of people you come in touch with. That's where it will stay"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"There is no giant step that does it. It's a lot of little steps"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"The most difficult phase of life is not when no one understands you. It is when you dont understand yourself"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but the judgement that something else is more important than fear"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

"You can complain because roses have thorns. Or you can rejoice because thorns have roses"

Then evening was spent at sean's house, mini buffet! Food was not bad, not fantastic either. But its good to see all the bang bang people again. =D Played a few card games to finish the 1 litre Baileys. I dont reli like the taste, creme caramel wine. But heh, the games were fun. Everyone were sabo-ing sean at first, then sinyean afterwards. Too bad nobody got high lar. Hahaha. Mel's gonna take forever to post the pics taken, so imma post the pictures after forever comes.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The j2s had ptm in school that day. Apparently things went quite bad for emo. Cried, grounded, teacher gave her parents timetable to keep check on her, her dad's gonna fetch her home from school everyday. ZOMG. Poor thing. But 4 Us for CT...understandable i guess.. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
ITS ROWENA'S BIRTHDAY TODAY! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! =D 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
My lil bro's started on pw already. Can see him working on his PI. I asked him what were the questions, but i kinda forgot. But its reli weird. One of it is Conservation O.o I reli went "wtf" when i heard the questions. Lol. But i doubt he needs my help with anything lar. HCI has 97% distinction rate for pw man. Why will he need my help. HAHA.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
I've been thinking of weird stuff ever since emo told me her dad buys weird food for her. My parents receive utility bill few days back, water fees increased significantly. So i was wondering how to cut down on water usage. Then i was thinking, we use water when we drink. The more we drink, the more we pee, the more water we use to flush. Then we use more water to wash hands afterwards. So the best way to cut down on water consumption is to stop drinking water? LOL.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-6432157238443340438?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/6432157238443340438/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=6432157238443340438' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/6432157238443340438'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/6432157238443340438'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/04/over-you.html' title='Over You'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-1848292578788619694</id><published>2009-04-01T21:07:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-02T08:28:27.502+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Went to make ns specs ytd.

Cos it got spoiled by a mahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhjonnnggggggggggggggggg session! But hey, the event is all about creating awareness. I've been doing quite a fair bit for the environment, so i guess i can be forgiven? =x&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yixuan messaged me at 12+pm, close to 1pm, and asked if can come my house play mahjong. I was thinking prolly night or something, but she told me she told her frens to come at 2+pm&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; -____________________________________-" Win liao lor, so last min then tell me, and only give me 1hr to prepare. Lol, thats the disadvantage of being close to someone for 9 years running. She treats my house like its her own -.- Anyway, yea we played mahjong. She brought a few frens along, of which i duno more than half of them. Lol. But theres only one other girl, shermaine, and the rest are all guys, so quite easy to mix around lar. The first part of mj lasted from 2+pm to 6+pm, when 2 of them left. We had dinner which my parents dabao, then played part 2. I lost 9 bucks from the first part, then won back 2 bucks from the 2nd part. But i didnt take the 2 bucks from yixuan lar lol. She's already lost 40+ bucks in total. Alvin won the most, 50+ bucks in total. Was quite fun cos its been quite a while since i played mj. I forgot all the rules and stuff, and was consulting gab bro about them in the afternoon. Hahaha. So yea, we finally stopped playing at 11+pm. Would have played longer if i didnt stop them -.- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

Its always me on the stairs and missing a step, then i'll jerk myself awake. Quite embarrasing, cos it happens reli often during econs/physics lecture. Ask xue or joshua and they will know, they've prolly seen it happen to me a million times already. I was curious as to what it is about, and i found out that its actually called the 'hypnic jerk'.&lt;div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here, go read about it on wiki: &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk"&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnic_jerk&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;

Pokemon Platinum, which i doubt im gonna play unless i got time. Suikoden looks okay, but th said the voice acting is crap, so imma wait a bit. Im playing Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the plumes now. I've been a great fan of the Valkyrie Profile saga since its out in ps1. So obviously im dam excited about this game. Been playing the whole day already.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
The game is quite different from the other VP games. The battles involve a lot of strategy, insanely hard bosses since the beginning of the game, minimum amnt of sin for victory requirement. VP in ps1 was already quite difficult. The difficulty in this game is INSANE. Its almost impossible to get a 'good' ending if its the first try in this game. At first, i wanted to go for the good ending, but there was one battle that i cant seem to win, even after tens of resets, so i gave up. Might as well go for the 'normal' ending first, start a bonus new game after completing, then try for the 'good' ending. I STRONGLY recommend this game to any nds-owners who love strategy RPG, and find all the other games out there too easy (though i dont reli have a lot of frens with nds lol).
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Im hoping I can get Breaking Dawn from x'tine this week, so that i can FINALLY finish the twilight saga. I think New Moon was quite boring, but eclipse got reli exciting towards the end, though the story plot was quite predictable. I hope Breaking Dawn's good. OHH then imma move on to Midnight Sun which x'tine introduced for me to kill time. HAHAHA. I only got around 3 weeks left till NS, i think i shud start preparing my stuff soon.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-3867879543582927660?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/3867879543582927660/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=3867879543582927660' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3867879543582927660'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3867879543582927660'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/03/shiock-new-games-out-in-ds-recently.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-7226170024554733212</id><published>2009-03-21T21:36:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-21T22:07:42.926+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I duno why, but i've lost all motivation to blog. So prolly just a short one till i feel like blogging more.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Last Sat: NTU open house. Saw quite a lot of familiar faces. The talks were quite boring. LT for social science talk was so crowded. Ridiculous jokes about mature applicants. Looking around for eye candies. LOL. =x
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Last Sun: NUS open house. Didnt stay for long. Didnt see as many familiar faces. But went for IT show after that. Was good, I bought a cooling pad, kaspersky antivirus, speakers, 8gb microSDHC card, all within my budget of 100 bucks. I was so tempted to go over my budget, but i didnt. Heh.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Mon: Usual bball, 'cept yj came. No sentosa cos a lot of idiots dun wanna go to the beach. yj actually cabbed down to meet us, but can tell he was quite disappointed to see so few ppl there. lol. Bball, then played a bit of badminton with him, then homed. Oh yea, my email was hacked again in the morning, but was quickly resolved. No harm done. =)
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Tues: BBQ at ivan's. Dam stupid, i wanted to be late, cos im usually early for outings like this. I wanna try being late, like reli late. But hell, the trip to pasir ris was much faster than i expected. So we weren't late. Unreal, ivan actually remembers that i love eating Otah, though its been months since our last bbq. Heh. So yea, had my fill of otah, drank a can of tiger(i havent had tiger for ages), played cards, and nothing much.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Wed: I fell ill, down with a cold, and i was feeling dam tired, so i practically slept the whole day. Woke up my usual 7+am, slacked around a bit till 10am, slept till noon, eat lunch, slept till 4pm, go gym, dinner, slack around, sleep. lol.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Thurs: Finally bought my eclipse, bought present for bev's b'dae the next day, bought some food to bring over the next day.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Fri: BBQ AGAIN at Aranda country club. Was good, 'cept there are a lot of ppl whom i duno. Was good to see rowena again after so long. I havent met her since my b'dae xD Andrew and i left before cake-out cos he had something on, and i was feeling quite bad from the cold. The 40%-alcohol-vodka was good though, havent had such strong alcohol in a while. Kinda weird though, more girls were drinking it than guys. LOL.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Today: Spent the whole day reading my eclipse, since i havent had time to touch it yet. I was telling myself to stop after reading 300 pages, so that i dont finish a 20bucks book in one day. But I couldnt stop once i started, so i finished the whole book today. =/ Great, 600+ pages gone in one day. I wanted to slow down my reading, so i started reading really carefully and i even spotted 2 spelling mistakes. But that didnt help. BAH. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, lynn was dam funny. I think shes become paranoid after my account got hacked so many times. 90% of my frens on msn call me kai, so when she called me 'zhengkai', i was like 'whos zhengkai?' Not that i hate my surname or anything, but i prefer ppl calling me 'kai'. Then she actually got suspicious about whether its reli me. Here's out conversation:
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
lynn: u r nt even zhengkai in the 1st place &lt;br&gt;
kai: yea im not&lt;br&gt;
     so who am i?&lt;br&gt;
lynn: a retard tt uses other pple acc &amp; dunno how to set up one for urself &lt;br&gt;
      ultimate retard honto ne baka
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
HAHAHA. I think the jap at the back's reli funny.

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Out with yixuan today for lunch at Ichiban Sushi cos i got a sudden craving for wasabi. I been eating wasabi prawn crackers and my mum brought home wasabi peanuts for me, but i wanted more. I was thinking maybe go eat some jap cuisine with my guys on sunday at suntec, but i cant wait so long, i'll have died of wasabi-hunger by then. So yea, had a lot of wasabi today, much more than i originally planned cos she kept spamming wasabi for me. She even added chilli pepper and duno what thing, totally looks like shit. It was so qiang4bi2 that i teared and my chest felt so warm asif i just had a few shots of wine -.- But yea, had enough of wasabi already. xD
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Ohh and i met jethro at bpp too. So coincidence, i seem to meet him everywhere i go. Lol. Had a good chat while waiting for xuan to come. Apparently the j3 odac-ers are going on expedition on their own from tmr onwards. So cool.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
While walking home jus now, i saw this lil kid playing a toy car. I thought it was just a normal toy car on first glance, but looked a tad weird. I took a closer look, and wtf, there was a solar panel installed on the toy car. And it was running on solar energy. LOL. Hell, when did toys become so high tech?? ZOMG.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Bleach is becoming so dragonball-like. I wont be surprised if they suddenly go ss4 or something lol. The new chapter was a complete waste of time with Inoue saying "what should i do?" the whole chapter. Im gonna quit reading bleach if this goes on -.-

&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most unforgettable teacher:&lt;/span&gt; Mr Charles Surin
--&gt; Taught me science during sec 2. He never fails to test the whole class every time he comes for lessons. If we cannot answer correctly, we got to stand for the whole lesson. He was really scary during the first few months of having him as our science teacher. Everyone's pressured to be prepared for lessons, and me being his "WHERES MY LIBRARIAN" just made things worse. xD Oh well, hes a successful man now. I see him on the news every now and then, and hes now the principal of Hai Sing Catholic School. (Is he still there?)
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most ridiculous thing ever done:&lt;/span&gt; Buying lots of erasers during pri sch life
--&gt;Im pretty sure most guys have went through the stage where we play the eraser game. Using our fingers to push the erasers and whoever gets their own eraser on top of his opponent's eraser wins. Yea, i used to play that too. I dont know what I was thinking at that time, but I thought having more erasers meant i'll be a better player. So i bought a whole box of erasers from the school bookshop. Even till now, my family hasnt finished using all the erasers. LOL&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most memorable events: &lt;/span&gt;Beauty&amp;amp;Beast play, 2v2 bball&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt;There was a school play held during my pri 6 EOY, after PSLE. There was a period of time between PSLE and graduation. We still had to attend sch, but was just slacking all the time. Derrick and i were made to audition for the "Beast" for the play, since we got the build. The original plan was for Derrick to take the role, cos I was a bit too tall for the beauty. But Derrick fractured his arm while playing bball, so I had to take up the role of "Beast". Was quite tiring spending so much time practicing for the play, but it was really fun. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt;The 2v2 bball took place during sec3/4, 4 i think, when I joined the competition with alvin and alderic. Was my first time playing ball right outside Taka, and there were so many ppl, quite a huge event. We didnt win anything, but I really enjoyed my time there. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most infuriating moment:&lt;/span&gt; Pokemon Trading Card Game&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt; Okayy this is dam stupid, and i didnt really get angry lar. Just that I cant remember any time when i reli got angry. Happened in sec 2, some random day. JK was playing pokemon with...yh i think? When our vice-principal came in and confiscated the cards. She started scolding the class, but her eyes were fixed on mine, asif i was the one who was playing. I duno what she asked me, but I told her I wasnt the one playing, I was only observing. -.- &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most depressing event: &lt;/span&gt;Police. Mentioned it once in another post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most honourable event:&lt;/span&gt; Shot Putt&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt; I won the Shot Putt gold medal during pri sch's sports day during pri 5, so the pe teachers signed me up to represent sch in nationals. I really trained quite hard for it, and I thought it was cool being able to represent school. I won individual 5th position during Nationals in pri5. I didnt train much for pri 6, so I only managed to get into top 16, but I duno my ranking. But still, good enough. Heh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most regrettable action taken:&lt;/span&gt; Rejecting a girl...ungentleman-ly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt; Happened during sec 1/2, not gonna say the girl's name. It was pretty obvious that she liked me, how she was trying to get my attention all the time. I confided in gab about this, and considered the actions I should take..to turn her down. Then something happened one random day. I was having lunch with my usual guys at the canteen. We were done eating already, just sitting there chatting, when I noticed she was walking towards me. I immediately took my plate, and walked away quickly to return the plate, making it quite obvious that I was trying to avoid her. I could tell I hurt her quite deeply. And that night, her msn nick was "Something happened to me today that turned my life upside down. Save me, my prince." I know, we were still young then, and she has prolly forgotten about this. But still, I feel guilty for what i've done every time i think of this. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most foolish thing i've done: &lt;/span&gt;Copying answer-playstation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt; This is dam funny. My parents have high expectations of me since young. During pri sch years, my dad will supervise me with my revision. He bought lots of practice papers, and set targets for me to complete by the end of the day. To make sure I do my work seriously, he will hide the answers to the questions and hide my playstation. So everytime after he leaves for work, the first and foremost thing i do is to look for the 2 items. I took the answer, copied it while purposely making mistakes here and there, and played the rest of the day. LOL. Quite dumb really, i should have known my dad did all those for my own good. Oh well. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Most coincidental event:&lt;/span&gt; Ms Nalini&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;--&gt; Okay this is out of topic a bit. But i once read a joke somewhere. This kid was made to come up with an example of coincidence, and he said "my dad and mum got married on the same day" HAHAHA. Anyway, Ms Nalini was my form teacher during pri 5 and 6. After I graduated from pri sch, she was my younger bro's form teacher for his pri 5 and 6. Heh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Okayy I cant think of anymore. I think rowena's sig in msn is dam funny.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you were the castle, I'll be the moat. If you were the ocean, I'll learn to float. HAHAHA. I couldnt stop laughing after seeing it. xD&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-7076343512024529780?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/7076343512024529780/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=7076343512024529780' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/7076343512024529780'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/7076343512024529780'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/03/while-i-was-bored-some-time-ago-i-came.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-3724852724959141232</id><published>2009-03-10T19:06:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-10T20:21:03.299+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Time of my life</title><content type='html'>Okayy i've gotten back my gmail account for now, so im back here blogging. Was crazy these 2 days not having access to my email. I've been using the email for many many years, and I felt so lost, not knowing what to do when I could no longer access it. I first found my account was hacked at sunday afternoon, when i just couldnt seem to log in no matter what password I tried. I submitted a report to Google, saying my account has been compromised. The form that I had to fill in was terribly dumb. One of the questions actually asked for the exact date at which the email was created. Like what the hell!? That was YEARS ago, how the #### am i supposed to remember. Other information required me to remember stuff in my email, like most oftenly emailed ppl, labels in my email, what other google services did I use and the dates I started using them, etc. From the little details I could rmb, Google got back to me and returned me my account after 10 mins. I was glad at that time, but 10 mins later, my account was hacked again.&lt;div&gt; -____________________-"&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I dont know how the hell that hacker did it, prolly a careless mistake on my part, allowing him to sneak in a backdoor in my comp (though no backdoors were found from my anti-virus). But yea, my email was gone again after getting it back for just 10 mins. I submitted a report again and again and again, like 5/6 times. But all that Google replied this time was:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;   font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;Thank you for your report. We've completed our investigation and cannot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;   font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;return your account at this time. We were unable to verify that you own
this account based on the information you provided."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As to how I got my account back eventually, its a long story. Fortunately, the hacker was dumb. There was information on my Paypal account in my email, but I called credit card company and they said no transactions were made. I'm freaking lucky for this, could have lost thousands of dollars. Oh well, I just hope my account doesnt get hacked again. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Anyway, stay over at gab's on sat/sun was fun, freaking funny. Gab wanted guitar hero, so I had to bring that big box on the bus again, attracting everyone's attention. Duno, just feels weird. Th, jh, gab and I played the silent version of 'heart attack', with Shiraz wine as forfeit. Th was so good he didnt get forfeit at all. Gab and I had to forfeit twice. But jh was a complete loser. Had to forfeit 4 times, and finish off half a cup of wine at the fifth time. He drank it quite quickly, i wasnt really watching. But he drank it like a shot I think, and he was drunk. Whole body completely red, speaking gibberish all the time, laughing for no specific reason, doing push-ups, walking around like a clown, taking that orange juice bottle and swaying it at me asif wanting to yum seng, eating all the lil snacks around. Th,gab and i helped ourselves to coke float, and didnt make any for jh since he was the loser. He kept complaining. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Was freaking funny, I couldnt stop laughing though this is the second time we managed to get him drunk. But he became quite a nuisance after a while, we couldnt watch our 'Punisher' movie in peace with him around. So th,gab and i decided to just knock him out with more wine. Th wanted to play Cai1 Quan2 but jh wanted to play Tai-tee, so we just played tai-tee. I lost the first round, so I had to drink. The other rounds were just hilarious. Jh was so drunk he didnt know we were cheating. Th played 3,3,4,7,7 and called it a '3 house'. Jh didnt realise that its not a 3 house. I played a 3-club and treated it like a 2-spade, and he didnt realise it either. So obviously, jh lost the other rounds, and drank more and more wine. Even after he lost, he was still grumbling for coke float, which we refused at first. Then i came up with the brilliant idea of making wine-float. HAHAHA. I wanted to just add the ice cream into a glass of wine and pass it to jh, but gab was more compassionate. He mixed wine with coke, rather than completely wine which I wanted. We added the ice cream, and passed it to jh. Okay lar, at least he was still sober enough to tell that there was wine inside. Th, gab, cyril and i each drank some of it. I thought it was okay, not much wine taste, almost exactly like a normal coke float. But cyril thought it tastes like coke with rum&amp;amp;raisin ice cream. Jh was quite reluctant to continue drinking it, but we were telling him not to waste, etc. So he just finished the rest of it quite quickly, with a straw. At that time, we knew he was on the verge of knock-out stage. He started listening to music on his phone, and after a few mins, he was lying there quietly. HAHAHA. Finally some peace and quiet. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Not gonna go too much detail into the rest of the night. Just tt Jh woke up suddenly and went to the sink to puke, after which he was much more sober. A miracle really, still having enough consciousness to go to the sink before puking. Then the Man Utd vs. Fulham match started, so we started watching that. Bk and gab wanted to watch, but were too sleepy, so they went to slp. Only tiak leng and i stayed up to watch the entire match, cyril was playing guitar hero, i think yh was aslp too. Man Utd won 4-0! Was quite exciting, man utd were scoring every 15~20 mins. I helped cyril win a boss in Guitar Hero, then tiak and cyril played guitar hero throughout the night while i slept for 2 hours. There's a huge contrast between the atmosphere when gab and i were playing, and the atmosphere when cyril and tiak were playing. When gab and i play guitar hero, we keep quite quiet, commenting on techniques that can be used and stuff. But cyril and tiak were making so much noise and having so much fun when they were playing. LOL.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Anyway, i've been speaking quite a bit of nonsense when im online msn these days.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;My conversation with Ching Man always revolves around the topic about me going to Geylang looking for Indian girlfriends. LOL. She knows its all crap, but still enjoys this crap conversation with me. She advices me to look for chinese girls instead, so I came up with the solution of looking for chindian girlfriends. HAHAHA. Come to think of it, its so hard to find chindian ppl. I only got 1 chindian friend, and another 2 chindian neighbours.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Mel asked me about my 'A' level results, and i complained about how badly I did. She then asked what i was gonna do. I replied "suicide, after saying goodbye to all my frens". LOL. Dont worry mel, its never ever going to happen. Its gonna take much more than A lvl results to drive me to suicide. =p &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Then I was chatting with Shelvi ytd. I dont know how the conversation got to the topic of her making brownies for me. Her oven was small, so she looked for small brownies, gave me the web page, and said she'll bake if I get the ingredients for her. I agreed, but she said she'll only give me 1, while she takes the rest. I agreed too, just that Im only gonna buy enough ingredients for her to bake 2 lil brownies. One for me one for her. HAHAHA. xD &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="border-collapse: collapse;  font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"&gt;Oh ya, on my day of enlistment, I think im allowed to bring 4/5 ppl to send me off. But my mum's going overseas for a meeting, my bro got school that day, so only my dad is sending me off. Anyone interested to come? Lol. Okay, super long post, shall stop here though I got more things in mind to blog about. =x&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-3724852724959141232?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/3724852724959141232/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=3724852724959141232' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3724852724959141232'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3724852724959141232'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/03/time-of-my-life.html' title='Time of my life'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-6379938300272816400</id><published>2009-03-07T10:58:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T11:16:40.089+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Shant talk much about results, its all over anyway. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Went to watch Watchmen with class guys ytd after collecting results. Movie was so confusing and sex scenes were dam funny. Was rated M18, but they didnt check IC or anything. I didnt enjoy the movie at all actually, wonder why so many ppl still watch. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Saw my colleagues from Venture Era at Cineleisure, and saw Sarah, my sec sch classmate whom i havent met for years! Had a small chat with her, apparently she left innova jc, went to australia, and is now back studying in SIM O.o Heh she hasnt changed much, but i was surprised she can still recognise me cos i change quite a bit since sec sch(i think). &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Gonna stayover at gab's again tonight. Dam shiock. Im so gonna get myself drunk tonight. But i promised mel i wont do anything silly/crazy, so i gotta restrain myself a bit. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Just borrowed New Moon book from x'tine, im gonna finish it quickly so i can finish the whole twilight saga before i go NS. Started reading this morning, and im done with 200 pages! =D &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

This means that my 'A' level results are most prolly gonna be out next week, or the following one latest, since last year's results were out on 6th March, and 6th March is next friday. I know theres no point worrying about something that I cannot change, but still...i cant help but worry. The high expectations that my parents place on me, and me on myself, isnt helping much. I've always asked myself why, why are my parents so smart being scientists, my bro being in hwa chong and applying scholarships, while im not in one of the top schools...far from it in fact. Can anyone even understand the amount of pressure im having? =/ &lt;br&gt;

Anyway, i saw something reli beautiful today. Click on pictures to enlarge. &lt;br&gt;

It's a pity my cam is not good enough. But if you take a closer look, there are actually 2 rainbows! Just that one is not very visible in the pictures. But zomg the view was so nice! Lasted only for about 15mins cos the sky got dark, and the 2nd rainbow disappeared. So cool, first time seeing 2 rainbows at once. =D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-1495825483836155956?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/1495825483836155956/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=1495825483836155956' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/1495825483836155956'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/1495825483836155956'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/02/yesterday-i-took-look-at-calender-and.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-8351350759215137576</id><published>2009-02-22T12:31:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-22T14:03:10.083+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cause something changed</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;New question of the week is out! =D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

Its been bugging me for quite some time. There was once last year, i lost 7kg in a week, for no reason. Prolly too stress or something, but i've been eating normally since then. I always thought im not thin, not fat. But apparently, quite a few ppl think im thin.
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Some time last year, richmond organise some friendly shoot in CJC range, there was a bbq. I was lunch-ing with jon and the pok couple. I was telling debbie i wanna eat the food, but i dun wanna get fat. Then she went "no u're not fat. you're dam thin can!" -.-" So i went to ask emo too. She thinks im thin for a guy. Xuexiang thinks im thin too. Ching Man is the worst. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
"yea. i think u damn skinny."&lt;br&gt;
"ur pants wad size one? 20+ rite?"&lt;br&gt;
"but u so tall. i seriously think ur BMI did not reach the standard lar"
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
At first I thought a guy having 20+ inch waist was ridiculous, but i went to measure mine, turned out to be 31/32...quite close to 20+ lar lol. But hell, BMI dont reach standard?? HAHAHA thats the most hilarious one. My BMI is 20.38 okay, thats in the normal range, though slightly in the lower-normal range, since according to wiki, normal range is 18.5~25. I havent tried using skinfold method to accurately calculate body fat percentage, but mine is approx 11/12+-% body fat okay. So i personally dont think im as thin as some ppl think. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Obviously, i dont wanna be fat. But i dont wanna be too thin either. I think tall guys like me look dam scary when they're so thin and almost all bones only. Eww i cant even start imagining me being so thin. 
&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Anyway, went back to CJC today to help out shooting interview. Was same table as jon,mark and x'tine. Jon was sooooo quiet, barely asked any questions. =/ The fun part was when we were planning activities for friday's orientation. All kinds of ideas popped out. But im more excited about the ECP outing in March. We were saying each category will have a competition against each other. ARM will totally PWN if we have a free-hand cycling competition. Cos chris lye, jiongle and i are experts at cycling free-hand =P Im just glad its gonna happen before i go NS.

Just click on the pic to enlarge if you want. &lt;br&gt;

Anyway, i decided to make my blog more interesting, and came up with a 'Question of the week' section for the few readers that I have. Give me your answer, and if you get it right, you appear in my hall of fame! Really lame, but at least it provides some entertainment for my readers. LOL. Try not to use any online search engine to look for answer! Makes it more challenging.

So i decided not to. Instead, i'll post random pictures, quite a lot of them, bout my life in CJC. Since i didnt get to post a reflection/new year resolution or anything. Wanted to do a picture-timeline, but i dont rmb the dates of most of my pictures. So they're in random order! Changed blog layout to fit picture size. Tagboard is now all the way at the bottom. =x

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00552.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/DSC00552.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Class photo during CNY celebrations last year. It was reli fun that day. All classes were going 'YUMMMMMMMMM SENGGGGG' (is this how u spell it?), while i came up with a 'brilliant idea'. Yixuan was there to join my class then, and i wanted something unique. So instead of taking drinks and going yum seng, ching man, yixuan and i..prolly a few more, i dun rmb, took oranges and squeezed the juice all over the place while going yum seng! HAHAHA. Prolly one of the craziest things i did in CJC. x)

She bought this for me from Japan. She bought me the green color kit-kat too..but didnt take a pic of it =x At first, i hung this sword up in my room. For some reason, a few weeks after, i had a fever for 2 weeks. My mum being superstitous, started looking at the feng-shui of my room, and concluded tt hanging this sword up brings bad luck, so i had to take it down. -.- but its still in my drawer! No mel, i didnt throw it away or anything =) &lt;br&gt;

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0204.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0204.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;

Pic of brownie! I duno who took this pic with my phone..should be during j1 i think?

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0111.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0111.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Classmates! From left to right, yifan, joshua, zhao long. Taken during j1. Yifan is dam funny. He did terribly for his promos, was reli worried he cannot promote. Normal ppl will start studying hard for sup-paper, but he didnt. He took the bible and read it everyday -.- Yes yes, he promoted.

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0113.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0113.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Okay this pic is dam funny. I didnt photoshop the pic or anything. This was taken on the walls outside cinema in plaza sing. Look at the screw-up of names. xD

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0174.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0174.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
This pic looks dam freaky. But no, i didnt take a pic of a ghost in CJC. I used my phone to take a pic of joshua's phone's screen, and this was the result.

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0176.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0176.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Ro and i =) Ro was doing her chem hw when andrew(hoon) and i went to find her. Andrew took this pic with my phone..

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0213.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0213.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0215.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0215.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Taken during science camp last year. Had to search for certain plant species or something, and this is what i found. Unreal, there were so many groups before us who did this activity, but i was the only one who spotted the snake. It was really really near one of the answers some more. xD

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSC00692.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/DSC00692.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Also during science camp. Xuexiang took this pic of me while i was building a catapult i think.

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0220.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0220.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
My water bottle during j1. During...dec hols '07 i think? i thought i lost this water bottle. then i was thinking maybe i left it in shooting range..but DONT HAVE! val(seet) was reli nice, wanted to buy me a new water bottle. but i found it in my bag's other pocket in the end. HAHAHA.

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0221.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0221.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Guess who is this?? She took this pic without me knowing, and i couldnt recognise who was it! Got a shock when i saw this pic in my phone. xD So the answer is...

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0292.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0292.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
CHERIE! Pic taken..3 weeks before the start of my 'A' levels? At esplanade, having sushi, sashimi and Heineken beer together. Weird combination i know xD Didnt have chopsticks to eat the sushi with, but we're lucky we managed to get toothpicks from a restaurant behind. HAHAHA.

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0243.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0243.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

Quite blur pic, but ivan's holding a small caterpillar. It was hanging on a thread from a tree, swinging around in empty space. So small, but i still spotted it. My eyesight is reli sharp O.O

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Photo0293.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Photo0293.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
My plans during the 'A' levels period. Quite a brief one. Crazy, i know. X.X

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=00018f15.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/00018f15.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=0005ewa0.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/0005ewa0.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF1419.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/DSCF1419.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Jojo,val and i, taken outside val's class. Whenever there's training in sch, jojo will look for val at her class. Since my class is just opposite, i joined them. xD

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=DSCF1440.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/DSCF1440.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

I was out with a few other j1s(now j2s) for lunch at serene centre. Mac's, then island creamery. Cherie drew a pic of richmond while he was playing the guitar. Doesnt look like richmond at all, but the pic's reli nice! So it's hung up nicely in Island Creamery now =D

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=P1030070.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/P1030070.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Cycling outing with the j1s last year at ECP! I rushed down to join them after collecting my 'A' lvl chinese results. Im in white, and the only other person in white is Coach, so i dont think its hard to spot me xD

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=Picture0004.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/Picture0004.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=SL372326.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/SL372326.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Another pic during training camp. After their afternoon pt i think? Was so tired then. I didnt sleep a wink that night, went to do 60 push-ups together with the j1s at 5+am, since they didnt finish their punishment the previous night. Slacked around a bit, then i did PT with them at 7+am? since andrew(tay) and i were leading them. Then i did PT again with them during afternoon, since sean and i were supposed to lead the PT. I went vegetarian those 2 days some more, i duno how i survived X.X Ohh and christine's dam funny. She doesnt eat vege, but chose to go vegetarian with me. So she barely ate anything those 2 days. Hahaha silly girl =)

&lt;a href="http://s695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/?action=view&amp;amp;current=SL372353.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i695.photobucket.com/albums/vv319/StrikeD/SL372353.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
Another one during training camp. I was leading the j1s for some teambuilding games, while all the other j2s were up on 4th level getting ready water bombs. LOL.

I thought i was mentally prepared for it, but i still cried and grieved. On monday, the doctors were saying his condition was improving, my grandpa talked more, looked healthier, so my family thought this wouldnt happen so soon. Somehow, he left the next day...my whole family was caught off-guard i guess. Received the news while mum,bro and i were eating lunch, a sms from my dad. We were all quite cool about it then, continued eating like nothing happened. But after lunch, my bro went to his room, me to my room, and my mum in living room...all 3 of us cried. Was reli reli painful...i wanted to just shout and release all the grief in me, but my neighbours will prolly think im being raped, so i shut it all in my heart. I wasnt exactly very close to my grandpa, in fact i havent seen him for 4/5 years already. But memories of him kept flowing into me...how he looked wearing a macdonalds clothing when he worked there 12 years ago...him playing a 1v1 mahjong with me when i just started learning...him bringing me to go fishing somewhere near his hse in china...him buying a basketball for me...his smile. I dont even dare to ask my mum for more details cos im afraid she may get emo thinking about it again. I hate myself for not going to china to visit him these few years...all he could see were pictures of me during the melbourne trip. I suggested a webcam meeting, but the hospital didnt have internet. He must have missed me a lot..but i wasnt there for him. No words can describe the pain i felt in my heart on tuesday...

But after all the crying and grieving, life goes on. I cant just stay stuck in tuesday. I went to work these few days, been quite busy. A lot of stuff to do in JCU, so contract got extended again. Andd zomg my supervisor's boss...karin?kareen? i duno how to spell your name =x ... actually found my blog. I was totally shocked when she started talking bout my blog contents O.O Quite cool actually, funny too. I havent tried the method that she used to find my blog...prolly gonna try it next time if i wanna stalk some one xD

Went for dinner at Pepper Lunch with emo and junyi after work on friday at amk =) Havent had a meal with them for a long long time... so it was good, got me smiling the whole day. Wanted to treat emo, but only treated her about half the cost of her set? Heh. I made straw star and heart from the straws there..i think emo took the star, what happened to the heart?? lol. Emo wanted to take straws too, but mistook chopstick for straw. Was orange, thought it looked nice, so she took one. Realised that the stick was too hard to be a straw while she was returning to the table, so she put it back. HAHAHA. Still a silly girl, like always.

Went to Eunos again for orientation again..learnt quite a lot. Gonna go back again tmr to be guinea pig for experiments. LOL no lar. Supposed to be quite interesting. Took the CAL water test today. The water tastes different to everyone, but most ppl agrees its bitter/fishy taste. But it tasted sweet to me after 2 seconds in my mouth. Funny.

Halfway there, the zoo called me to go down for job interview next next week. They're so 'efficient' nia. Emailed them my resume like 3 weeks ago? Now then reply -.- No idea whats the pay, job scope, or anything. I'll just go for the interview i guess. The zoo isnt exactly v far from my hse either.

Ohh i got a seminar to attend this coming wed. Conrad hotel. I think its..5/6 star? So i gotta wear reli formal. Thing is, i got no tie to wear. Only got CJC and CSS tie -.- Andd i'll prolly look weird wearing so formal with blazer, but no tie. So i need suggestions on what color tie suits me! But theres cca bazaar on wed too, so i got no idea how i can go for the bazaar, and rush to conrad hotel x.x Then ivan's asking me whether wanna go back for the j1s orientation on saturday o.o Seriously, need to see how first. I'm working 7-days a week now leh. But i can prolly pull out half a day on sat i guess.

So...SUGGESTIONS FOR TIE COLOR PLEASE! Tag my board =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-5322731902126213053?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/5322731902126213053/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=5322731902126213053' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/5322731902126213053'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/5322731902126213053'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/01/sorry-for-emo-2-word-post.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-4907710152424057829</id><published>2009-01-27T12:30:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T12:30:10.123+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Hes gone&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-4907710152424057829?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/4907710152424057829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=4907710152424057829' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4907710152424057829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4907710152424057829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/01/hes-gone.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-4463333099539565582</id><published>2009-01-25T07:51:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-25T08:04:31.972+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Here without you</title><content type='html'>Work's been good. People at james cook uni are reli nice. My job isnt exactly very tough. And my work contract got extended till 30th Jan instead, cos Mrs Swan, my supervisor, thinks im reli efficient, and wants me there longer. xD Big boss of JCU went around giving angbaos to all employee, and i got one too. Was so small and thin, i thought it was 10 bucks at first. Opened...blue note. =D Mrs Swan gave me a 20 bucks angbao as well. Shiock! But then again, im still prolly one of those people who gets the least angbao money, since all my relatives are in China. I got nobody to collect angbao from! =(

Went for interview at Eunos, and i got accepted into the company without me knowing. Venture Era, a sales and marketing group. So now im a sales agent. Went for orientation yesterday, got to know more about the company, and had a meeting with the whole group. Met up with all the managers, and the business group manager. It's reli fun, reli like an orientation. All the managers there are only 19~21 years old, so theres no generation gap between us. Even the group business manager is only 27 years old. My 3hrs+ there ytd was reli fun, so it got me quite happy and high. =p

Today, my family received terrible news. My grandpa has been lying in the hospital the last few days, and the doctors got no idea what is wrong with him. Just 10 mins ago, my relatives called to say the doctors found the source of the problem.. a tumour right beside the heart. Since my grandpa's so old, and doing operation for his heart is really risky...my grandpa can be considered... terminally ill. No, dont worry, im fine. In fact, even my dad is feeling fine. My dad's trying to get an air ticket to fly to China asap..but all the flight agencies are closed due to CNY. So we're trying to see if we can get a ticket online. Then again, the plane can only land at Beijing..still need to find a way to get to Cheng De, since all the trains there are on holiday too. Things will work out somehow...or so i think...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-4463333099539565582?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/4463333099539565582/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=4463333099539565582' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4463333099539565582'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4463333099539565582'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/01/here-without-you_25.html' title='Here without you'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-3519093560884421389</id><published>2009-01-18T17:05:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-18T17:27:31.039+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Here without you</title><content type='html'>I'll be working the next 5 days, as a professor in James Cook University...

No, I will be working in James Cook University, but not as a professor. Gonna work as a Temp Admin Assistant, doing filing/documentation and stuff. But its only for 5 days =/ 8.30am-6pm everyday, and the uni isnt near my house at all. Its in upper thomson, and the nearest mrt is ang mo kio. Havent tried going there yet, but i doubt i will get lost, since im good with directions =p But i prolly needa leave house quite early, cos i think i will need approx 1hr to reach there. Hope it'll be fun working there.

While i was wondering if i will ever find a job after these 5 days, i received a call just now. This company by duno what name, said im shortlisted to go for interview. So, after work on tuesday, i will need to rush down to Eunos mrt by 7pm for my interview. The guy said it'll be on presentations and stuff, duno what thing. Regardless, i see a glimmer of hope! =D&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-3519093560884421389?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/3519093560884421389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=3519093560884421389' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3519093560884421389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3519093560884421389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/01/here-without-you.html' title='Here without you'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-3207444769498570482</id><published>2009-01-14T23:11:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T23:11:55.827+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;embed src="http://www.theonion.com/content/themes/common/assets/videoplayer/flvplayer.swf" width="400" height="355" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" flashvars="file=http://www.theonion.com/content/xml/92328/video&amp;amp;debugging=true&amp;amp;autostart=false&amp;amp;image=http://www.theonion.com/content/files/images/NO_KEYBOARD_article.jpg&amp;amp;bufferlength=3&amp;amp;embedded=true&amp;amp;title=Apple%20Introduces%20Revolutionary%20New%20Laptop%20With%20No%20Keyboard"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;

Been too lazy, and there isn't much incentive to blog seeing how my tagboard's been dead for almost a month. I wont be blogging the last part about my melbourne trip, nothing exciting anyway.

Life's been boring. Jer,gab, and bk are in NS now. I've been looking for a job, but havent found any. But i finally bought a jigsaw puzzle! A 2000-piece one, cost me 99 bucks. LOL. I think im the only guy dumb enough to spend so much money on a jigsaw puzzle. But i've been quite successful with the puzzle till now, cos i've been piecing the easier parts. Im left with the clouds and grass now...gonna take me quite a long time to piece. xD

Went back for open house at CJC last friday. Only stayed like 3+ hours cos it was quite boring. But it's good to be able to see everyone after so long. Royston was the only other J3 there though, and he didnt stay long.

Life's gonna continue to be boring until i find a job...so i doubt i'll be blogging much, unless i find motivation to blog. =/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-4474788426000235251?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/4474788426000235251/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=4474788426000235251' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4474788426000235251'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4474788426000235251'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/01/long-time-since-i-last-blogged.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-3246870087865015796</id><published>2009-01-04T20:38:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-01-04T21:11:21.787+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Melbourne Trip II</title><content type='html'>Now for part 2 of my melbourne trip. Not gonna have so many pics.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3rd day there was during x'mas. Its reli dumb, NO shops are open during tt day, 'cept the shops in Chinatown. So there are basically very few places to visit. And there are barely any decorations around in the city. =/&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Anyway, since we've reli been rushing around a lot the last 2 days, we were allowed to sleep in a bit longer. Morning call was at 8.30, compared to 7 the last 2 days. We had another driver for tt day, a chinese guy, cos nick went home to celebrate x'mas with his family. My heart totally sank when the tour guide told us we were going to...i cant remember the name of the place, to have a BARBEQUE. ZOMG just when i thought i can finally escape from bbq -.- The place there was quite nice, quite a lot of ppl, and there were many wild parrots there. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287419147337599474" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SWCvs1eoCfI/AAAAAAAAAEk/apraO6Q6S98/s400/RIMG0090.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me feeding a parrot =) Anyway, good thing the bbq pit didnt need charcoal and all, so we can go there and cook straight away without starting a fire. Phew. Nothing much reli, 'cept i was helping cook the food, and there were doughnuts! I ate quite a few doughnuts cos nobody wanted to eat them. xD&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So after lunch, we headed down to Yarra Valley to a winery! WOO~ Quite a pleasant surprise, cos the driver and tour guide were both expecting it to be closed. Best thing is, we were allowed to have free samples of their wine! We were allowed to sample their red and white wine, but there were different ones for those 2. So total around...15+ kinds of wine? I was expecting my dad to place some form of restriction on the amount i can drink, but he didnt. I just drank and drank and sampled ALL the kinds of red and white wine they provided. =D No, i didnt get drunk, in fact i've never gotten drunk before though i drink quite a lot. But i think i drank a bit too quickly. For each glass of wine, i took 2 sips to sample the taste, then drank down the remaining like it was a shot glass, so my throat was burning in the end. xD Hmm i cant rmb all the names of the wine, i took a brochure from there but my dad lost it -.- I think i like Shiraz the best there, but there's another one, tastes like champagne, also not bad. We were then allowed to visit their grape farms which they use to make wine. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287421567122647314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SWCx5r4VqRI/AAAAAAAAAEs/LFjx9mtX0YA/s400/RIMG0092.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know the pic is reli small, but i was holding a bunch of grapes in my hand. They're reli small, cos they just started bearing fruit not long ago, harvest will be in april/may. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After this, we headed down to a store to do a lil bit of shopping. Its just one store, i wonder if u can call tt shopping. Anyway, the shop was owned by a chinese guy. Our tour guide has been frens with him for more than 10 years, so she brought us there. We saw this notebook, that has a 100 dollar note picture in front of each page. My dad,bro and i thought it was reli interesting, and wanted to buy, since it's just 5 bucks. But my mum was saying later police catch us for owning counterfeit notes, etc etc. So after much argument, we didnt buy it in the end. The aunties were all interested in buying abalone from tt store, but the store owner took out abalones that are already expired, and tried to sell them -.- The aunties didnt realise at first, cos they duno english, but our tour guide noticed it. So she actually had a quarrel with him before he took out the non-expired ones. She was saying how disappointed she was, after being frens for 10 years, blah blah blah, throughout the whole journey back to our hotel. I thought it was quite irritating, but its a good thing to have a responsible tour guide i guess.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were then allowed free time to walk around the city. Not a lot of shops were open, so we just had dinner at a korean restaurant, then walked around the city. Sorry shelvi, i didnt get the chance to go Melbourne University =x Anyway, we decided to go to the casino, since my dad was itching to gamble. But hell, my bro and i were denied entry into the casino -.- My bro obviously couldnt enter, cos hes still under the legal age. Im past the legal age, but the person at the entrance insists on seeing some form of identification. We didnt bring out passports with us, so my bro,mum and i just sat outside and ate ice-cream, while my dad went in to gamble. As usual, yea, usual, my dad lost money. Good thing we gave him a time limit to stay inside, so he came out at 9.30pm, losing only about 20+bucks. Phew. He lost a few hundred bucks the last time he went inside casino in gold coast -.- Soo thats how i spent my x'mas, nothing exciting really. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I'll post the final part next time. Im too lazy now. =x &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-3246870087865015796?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/3246870087865015796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=3246870087865015796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3246870087865015796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/3246870087865015796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2009/01/melbourne-trip-ii.html' title='Melbourne Trip II'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SWCvs1eoCfI/AAAAAAAAAEk/apraO6Q6S98/s72-c/RIMG0090.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-4625274605049235974</id><published>2008-12-29T21:26:00.013+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-29T22:54:13.994+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Melbourne Trip</title><content type='html'>Okayy so i finally got the pics from my mom, so im here to blog about my melbourne trip. Beware, long post.

We were supposed to take the 9pm flight, so we left house at..5pm? I think. Did the usual checking in and stuff. My mom saw that our seats are at 59 EFGH, and she was so pissed that its gonna be the seats at the very back, where we have to endure the smell of the toilets and the heat of the engines (had a bad experience once), but turned out, it wasnt the last. Plane was really warm, we just thought the air con was not turned on, since a lot of ppl are not on board yet. BUT WE WERE WRONG. After waiting like 15 mins, the plane captain told us that the air con got problem, need to wait for engineers to come and fix. There were also no other available planes, so we had to endure the warm conditions for one whole freaking hour. ZOMG.
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Reached Melbourne the next day in the morning. The time there is 3 hours ahead of singapore time. After waiting ages for our whole tour group to gather (26 ppl, including my family), we finally left to tour around. We didnt head to hotel straight, cos the plane delayed everything, and we didnt have much time left. We took a coach, got to know our driver Nick, our tour guide Nancy, and the rest of the group. After travelling for like 1 hour+, we arrived at Ballarat Wildlife Park. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285205448941879170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjSWoUjv4I/AAAAAAAAADM/Z-80WlUP1CY/s400/RIMG0031.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me and my bro. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We had close contact with animals like Kangaroo, Koalas, Echidnas, Wombats, Eagles, but mostly Kangaroos since they are everywhere. Also saw many snakes and crocodiles. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285206659178410306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjTdEzbsUI/AAAAAAAAADU/1l45vZc_yoc/s400/RIMG0032.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Me feeding a Kangaroo. The very first thing we saw after we entered. Everyone was afraid of touching it, so i went to touch it first, and everyone else followed. The lil kangaroo is so cute. HAHAHA.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285207522197118466" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjUPTzIHgI/AAAAAAAAADc/A9vs3Wos2Dc/s400/RIMG0040.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;My family with a Koala. I wanted to carry it, but the guide said there's a national law that normal ppl are not supposed to hug them. =/ There were 2 more koalas on a tree branch, but they were not in the mood for phototaking, kept looking away, so they arent in this pic. xD

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285208175160317666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjU1URr1uI/AAAAAAAAADk/-Z0884QJqPM/s400/RIMG0041.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Me with wombats. OWN UP! Whoever's thinking that wombat is a type of bat. LOL. They're all sleeping, and dont seem to wake up even when so many ppl are touching them. I bet they wont even know if they got raped. =x Anyway, it was really funny, cos they were covered by some metal wall at first, so nothing could be seen. When the guide opened the door, this small lil girl saw the wombats and started crying. HAHAHA. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;We didnt take pics for other animals. But the entire tour around the wildlife park was FUN. The animals are so cute and friendly. I seriously dont mind working there with the animals, gonna be fun. Anyway, we went to the Great Ocean Road next. Supposed to have fish and chips there for lunch, but we were way behind time, so we just stopped somewhere are ate Macdonalds. LOL. It's crazy, beef burgers are much cheaper than chicken burgers there. Was quite excited at first, cos there're a few burgers that are not seen in Singapore, like the triple cheeseburger, and the double beef and bacon burger. I had the double beef and bacon burger and... -.- It's just a double cheeseburger, with a layer of bacon on top. And i've nvr liked mac's fries, so dam salty. I always remove the salt before eating them, which takes a great deal of effort, and always results in the table being salty. Oh and they had a national law that people are supposed to clear their own tray after eating, there arent any workers to help you clear your tray. Good place to cultivate good habits. Hahaha. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Anyway, after another 1hr+ ride, we reached the Great Ocean Road. Our tour guide was hilarious. Her chinese is pathetic, she didnt know how to say 12 wen2 tu2(apostles), and kept saying 12 sheng1 xiao4(zodiac). HAHAHA. The air there was really fresh, though i couldnt really breathe well with my flu. And the scenery was beautiful, the great ocean. Zomg.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285211724181677554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjYD5aUJfI/AAAAAAAAADs/-j4rcvvtccw/s400/RIMG0049.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Me and family, with the broken london bridge behind. Whoever took geog before will know what happened to that bridge. Story goes that 2 ppl were stranded on the lonely piece of rock when the bridge broke, and a helicopter had to be brought in to rescue them.
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;My mum, bro and myself, with the great horizon behind.

&lt;p&gt;Family, with the apostles behind. Supposed to have 12, 5 eroded, and only left with 7. But only can see 3 in this pic.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Okayy actually got a few more pics here, but lazy to upload. So after this, we went to eat dinner! Zomg buffet, and a lot of stuff are beef. My mom and bro had a hard time, cos they dont like beef. But i loved it, and ate so much. =/ And we went to our hotel. Didnt stay at melbourne city that night, stayed in some hotel in Ballarat. Stupid, we reached the hotel, found out another tour group from China took our rooms, so we didnt have rooms although we booked it. The hotel staff didnt even check whether the names of the ppl and number of ppl match, they just saw that china group was quite big, and just gave them the room. -.- Nancy sorted things out somehow, and we went to our rooms. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next day morning, had buffet for breakfast, so ate a lot again. We then went to Murrays Lookout. Great view.&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285215387718710242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjbZJJm8-I/AAAAAAAAAEE/RGHtKjzKSOc/s400/RIMG0071.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can see all the little houses from there. But theres nothing much other than the scenery. So we went on to Geelong to the strawberry farm! We were given this plastic container to pick as many strawberries as we want, but we have to be able to close the cover, if not have to pay more. Also, we're not allowed to eat while picking the strawberries. But nobody cares actually, there isnt any strict surveillance, so our tour guide was telling us to pick one, eat two. HAHAHA. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285216495366790434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjcZndfXSI/AAAAAAAAAEM/StpKGm7_ZU0/s400/RIMG0072.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mom, bro and me with the strawberries we picked, and the farm behind. OWN UP! Whoever thought strawberries grow on tall trees. HAHAHA. The strawberries are really BIG and RED and taste so NICE. But my container was too full, and i got caught. Or rather, the person just called me to a station to pay extra. I just took out one strawberry, popped it in my mouth, and showed the person that mine can cover, so i didnt have to pay extra. LOL. Then we were provided with strawberry ice cream after all that picking. Wasnt exactly fantastic, but its free ice-cream! Im like my dad, ice cream lover. =)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We were actually given one whole hour to pick the strawberries, but all of us finished it within 20 minutes. We had free time, so the tour guide brought us to an apple farm next! No, no picking of apples, just there to take a look. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285218114997961202" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjd35DpwfI/AAAAAAAAAEU/xcTIHO3gU5s/s400/RIMG0073.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Look at the apples, so SMALL. Want to pick also cannot. Hahaha. Its not the season, i think, or the staff picked all the big ones already. They also had a cherry farm, but its not accessible by car, and its 1km WALK away, so we didnt go. But the staff there gave us free samples of cherries. Zomg they're so big and sweet! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We went to the Ashcombe National Park afterwards. No, not more animals, it's plants this time. There are so many flowers in there, but mostly lavenders. There's a lavender maze, a rose maze, and a high hedge maze. It's really a maze, have to walk around to find the way out. But was quite easy to get out, no kick. HAHAHA.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285222499221927314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SVjh3FkGdZI/AAAAAAAAAEc/gIfxWOdEatM/s400/RIMG0078.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lavender maze. My bro was kinda scared to stand there, cos there are SO MANY bees around. Like really really a lot! Ohh i forgot to mention. Now is houseflies season, so there are A LOT of houseflies around. They just stay on your shirt and fly around your face, so irritating. =/&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At night, we went to philip island! Went to a chocolate factory, but workers all stop work already. Go there only see machines. o.o Bought some chocolate lar, but didnt buy a lot, cos my dad dont want give my mum money. LOL. Andd we went to the penguin island afterwards! We're supposed to camp around in this sea shore, and wait for the penguins to come back from fishing. Had to wait till nightfall, which is like 9pm cos of daylight savings. And the penguins came back from the sea! They're really small, like only 30+cm, and cute. They build their home, small lil caves, on a small hill. The penguins will return in groups, like 7~10 per group. They will come to shore and swim back to sea while waiting for the whole group to come. Then 1 will stay behind to wait for another group while the rest go home. I bet they're really muscular, climbing hills to go home everyday. But no pictures though, cos at night, need flash to take picture.

WAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

Zomg im dam glad i can watch this match before i leave for melbourne tmr. 1-0 with man utd winning LDU Quito, rooney scored the goal. I missed half of the first half cos my family wanted to go out for dinner. But YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Anyway, my b'dae ytd. Had bbq and stayover at th's house on friday/ytd. Yes yes, bbq again. Having 3 bbqs in one week is crazy, my kidneys are prolly going chao ta. But i doubt im gonna have another bbq anytime soon, which is good. TH's bbq pit didnt need charcoal, so i didnt need to fan the flames. LUCKY. But i did quite a lot of cooking, while the guys played bball on PS3. We played the real bball for a while, played mahjong, watched real bball, etc. I only went to slp at 5+..but didnt exactly slp much. I woke up a lot of times. I didnt lie down to slp, there wasnt space on the sofa, so i sat on the chair and slept. xD

Left th's house at 10+, reached home at 11.10, and i went straight to slp. I skipped lunch cos i was slping. Woke up, dressed up, and went to meet rowena at vivo! LONG LONG time since i went out with her, like more than half a year. Did some shopping and some catching up. Was good spending time with her, 'cept i was still really tired -.- And she baked..uhh not reli cookies, mini cakes?.. for me! Only second time i get to eat something she baked, first was during valentines =) THANKS RO!! You spent your time with me during my b'dae last year, you did the same this year. Im reli thankful, and the mini cakes were nice =)

Also special thanks to EMO CHEN! My emo fam daughter! =) Silly girl, was the first to send me a happy b'dae msg, but was disappointed when i told her she wasnt the first to wish me happy b'dae. So she sent me an offline msg on msn saying happy b'dae(though i didnt receive it o.o ), so that she'll be the first to wish me happy b'dae on computer as well. HAHAHAH. THANKS you silly girl! =)

Ohh and pearlynn sent me a happy b'dae msg too, which was a pleasant surprise, cos it's been years since i last received a sms from her xD Shelvi sent me a msg from Indonesia as well. =)

HAHAHA my conversation with my mum was dam funny just now. I was blowing my nose cos my flu hasnt exactly recovered, so my mom came in and ask me 'yao bu yao zai chi yi ci yao' (want to eat medicine anot?), and i misunderstood it (cos i was listening to music on my comp) as 'yao bu yao chi yi dian cheese?' (want to eat some cheese?) HAHAHAHHAHAHA.

Okayy so im going overseas tmr, melbourne. Wont be back till saturday night i think. So yea, i wont be celebrating x'mas in singapore. My blog's gonna be dead for one week. Oh and i realised, i actually have quite a few loyal readers, but so few ppl tag my tagboard -.-&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-4672102903501058492?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/4672102903501058492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=4672102903501058492' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4672102903501058492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/4672102903501058492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2008/12/its-easy-if-you-do-it-right.html' title='Its easy if you do it right'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-3052564596343580873</id><published>2008-12-20T22:23:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-20T22:24:29.997+08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Happy birthday to Hitsugaya(Bleach) and myself =)

The rules and regulations:
1. Each player of this game starts off with 10 weird things/habits/little known facts about themself.
2. People who get tagged need to write their own 10 weird things/habits/little known facts.
3. At the end, player needs to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
4. No tags back!

10 weird things/habits/little known facts about me.
1. I speak real slowly, but I love to rap, both english and chinese songs. (Eminem for the win!)

2. I've been mischievous since primary school. I ran away from school during primary 3 because I didnt do my homework. Teacher made me stay for detention, I stayed for 5 mins, and ran home when my teacher wasnt looking.

3. I got 3 frens (wankee,weiyao,xuexuan) who were in the same class as me during pri 1/2, after which i moved house/school. We were back in the same class during sec 1/2. HAHAHA.

4. I left jurong pri sch end of pri 2, so there was a free spot in my class during pri 3. Alderic took that place, we ended up in the same class for the entire sec sch life. =)

5. Something serious happened to me last year april, and I had to go to police headquarters to give a statement. The issue got me emo for many many months. Bro. Paul gave me the permission to just walk out of class without explaining reason to teachers. Till now, the whole sch only Bro.Paul and Mr. Michael Tan knows about it, together with around 2 of my frens. I dont really wanna talk about it, so dont ask me about it. =)

6. I'm sorta an animal activist, or maybe just an animal lover. There was once Mr Chan showed an animal abuse video during GP lesson, and I cried. Thing is, there wasnt even much animal cruelty in that video. 

7. I go vegetarian for a few days every month because I feel guilty for eating meat.

8. I was really really FAT when i was young because ppl from china believe in having a fat and chubby son. My maternal grandma stayed in singapore when i was young, made rice dumplings for me everyday -.-

9. I had an injection on my butt a few years ago, not because of anything serious. Only cos' of a fever. LOL. This is how doctors in China do their stuff i guess.

10. I live in a family of smart people, but im not smart myself. My dad completed his Masters degree in Imperial University(the...6th best university in the world?), and now both my parents are scientists/researchers in A*Star, with my dad majoring in physics and my mum in chemistry. My younger bro thrashed me in PSLE, he got 267(i think) and i only got 240. He's now in Hwa Chong Institution with all his grades A1, and thinking of majoring in Biology. Talk about science family -.-

The 10 people:

Ate quite a lot of my otah. YAY. But i already had a terrible sore throat before bbq, eating bbq food made it worse. I almost lost my voice. =/ Most of the guys there didnt drink, so the beer was quite wasted. I downed 2 cans, while a few ppl drank another one. Surprising things is, jin an ask me whether got wine. LOL. Funny, guys nvr drink, but a girl ask me got wine anot. We didnt buy, so i just went home and took a bottle of red wine. Dad didnt let me take the Hennessy, scared get drunk -.- Then we couldnt reli finish the food, so i called my bro down to help. HAHAH.

Went back my house after lights blacked out and ate the cake. The girls and zhao long had to leave earlier, scared miss the last bus. While the others stayed over at my house. The guys and my bro played cards while joshua and i played guitar hero. Then when everyone bathe finish, we played mahjong. Didnt play money lar, we werent exactly sure how to count. I was on a losing streak at first, nvr win at all. But i managed to win 3 in the end lar, out of what..about 10 games? lol. Then watched movies, stupid videos on youtube, before everyone fell aslp at 4am. xD I only slept a while though, was reli sleepy. So i just played my comp while they slept. It's crazy, joshua and eugene sleep talks, and joshua snores quite loudly.

Woke up, my dad bought dou4 jiang1 you2 tiao2 for our breakfast. Then we watched another movie before everyone left. I plan forgotten that it was my mum's b'dae, until my bro sms-ed me. Just the usual celebrations, go out for dinner, come back eat cake.

My throat is still bad, my voice isnt exactly back, and my flu isnt exactly gone. Stupid lar. Oh well.

So im here to blog!

Spent today out with ivan buying bbq stuff for tmr. Spent total around 160 bucks. And bought A LOT of otah! Zomg i love otah man! I hope I get well by tmr so that i got appetite to eat. Didnt feel like eating anything at all today. Blehh.

Anyway, we had our basketball match yesterday, against BK's class in JJC, together with 2 other class ppl. Uhh overall satisfactory performance I guess. 'Cept the 3rd quarter was kinda disappointing. I played the first quarter, and it ended with us leading 28-8. I played second quarter, and it ended with us leading 52-15. I didnt play the third quarter, and the other team managed to catch up a lil bit, ending with 58-28. I played the last quarter, and it ended with us leading 85-35. Yes yes, im just trying to show off how much of a difference I make. LOL. Im not the top scorer, prolly the second top scorer. I wasnt counting how much I scored, but cyril and th's bro said it was around 24/26 points. JH was the top scorer, with duno how many points. But jh didnt score at all, or maybe just one ball, during the 3rd quarter, cos I wasnt there to support him. So much for top scorer, I hope he doesnt get complacent with this match. *AHEM* But yea, I prolly have the best statistics in the match lar- steals, rebounds, etc. =p The first quarter was quite weird, cos after 10 mins of play, kok wei banged his head against the pole, and his head was bleeding. So we had to delay the remaining 2 mins left for the quarter, till he went to see doctor and come back. xD

A few words to those in my gang who reads my blog:

@bro(gab): I know you're kinda disappointed with your performance ytd, but hey! Everyone has their on/off form, you just happened to be slightly off form ytd, so dont worry too much about it. =)

@th: You played really well ytd, 'cept your defense was sloppy during the starting few mins. But it was fantastic after I told you to pressure more. Maybe work on your speed a bit? I hardly see your face during fast breaks xD Oh help me tell your bro that he played well, dont worry so much about how he could've played better. His 3-points were amazing, but work more on playing as a team? =)

@jh: Grats on being top scorer. I mean it. But dont get complacent. Forget about the overall score, since we were already expecting to thrash them even before the match started. Focus on how you can prevent something like the 3rd quarter from happening again.

@bk: Seriously, I dont believe you nvr appear offline lar. It's been YEARS since i last saw you on msn, though I see you quite often on AO. Stop with that 'i quit le' crap lar, just come and join us for bball! Your passes are one of the best, and you got great stamina! There's only about more than 3 weeks till you go NS, so join us for a game next time okay?

So ytd's match is probably the last official 5v5 match we have before we go NS. We started out playing bball together since sec2, with only me and gab having experience then. It was easy for me and gab to win a 2v3 match back then, but its impossible now. Everyone in this team has improved so much. It's a pity we only managed to play 2 official 5v5 matches all these years. But oh well, we won the hamsters match 101-34 back in sec4, then won this match 85-35. Let's go thrash more teams after we're out from NS. HAHAHA. =D

Tmr's bbq gonna have around 15 ppl, I hope it doesnt rain, if not the ppl will have no place to sit o.o Haii im so gonna get fat this hols. BBQ at my place tmr to celebrate my b'dae in advance, BBQ at th's place next friday to celebrate my b'dae one day in advance, probably another BBQ on the 21st with Shooting Club to celebrate clas's bdae and my belated b'dae. Then im going to Melbourne on 22nd for around one week, most prolly gonna go there da4 chi1 da4 he1. Then after me,th,bk are back from overseas, we're gonna have chocolate buffet at fullerton. ZOMG how not to get fat you tell me =/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-807672602847597202?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/807672602847597202/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=807672602847597202' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/807672602847597202'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/807672602847597202'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2008/12/feeling-better-but-still-sick.html' title=''/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-572021793139664088</id><published>2008-12-10T23:46:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-10T23:48:10.532+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Emergency</title><content type='html'>Sick.

Been so long since i went there with them. Well...not exactly, about half a year? HAH but its been a long time since i rollerbladed. Met at Parkway around noon, and the guys were dam funny. I was about to leave house, gab sms-ed me to bring a pair of socks for him, so I did. While walking to the bus stop to meet yj, BK sms me to bring a pair of socks for him too. I didnt, cos its too far to go home and take O.O I reach bus stop, and yj say he didnt bring socks either. HAHAHAH.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Reach there, had lunch and they went to rent rollerblades. I brought my own =p Virgin experience for yj, 2nd time for bk and jh. BK was (jokingly) boasting how good he is at rollerblading, and how hes gonna teach everyone else. But end up, he couldnt even blade on his own for the starting 15/20 mins. I had to hold him for so long, waiting for him to get used to rollerblading again. Was quite troublesome to hold him sideways, so I was rollerblading backwards in front of him and holding him. Im getting better at rollerblading backwards, feels more comfortable, and I can accelerate faster, compared to last time. But it was sunday, so many ppl, I have to stop every 10 seconds of rollerblading backwards or else i will knock into ppl. Hmm so yea, then I went to look after yj after a while. YJ blades well, for a virgin experience, a very fast learner. Prolly cos gab is a good teacher. HAHAHA. We went quite far down, and jh fell down a lot of times, whenever there are down 'slopes'. YJ had a clean record of not falling down, until jh and bk fall down in front of him. He got distracted, and fell down..like..duno how many times. BK didnt exactly fall, grabbed onto the fence when he ALMOST fell. Tzehow is an experienced blader, but still fell down and hurt his knee. =/ Gab and I didnt fall. Hahaha. We've got many years of experience after all. =p&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277402282143852306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/ST0ZaiwFJxI/AAAAAAAAADE/3v5xpw_eFv0/s400/Image035.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Yong Jian and me, with bk behind =p No, yongjian's not from cjc, im not from njc. We just bought a set of pe shirt for each other. HAHAHA.
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We went to play frisbee after that. I've gotten quite rusty, considering I havent played it for so long. But im still better than the other guys there lar. HAHAHA =x JH didnt play much, cos he doesnt reli know how to throw. Andd play halfway...we dunked JH into the sea! Not the first one to get into the sea, cos th went into the sea by himself while we were playing frisbee. LOL. But yeaa, after dunking jh, i conveniently threw bk into the sea as well. HAHAHA. Then gab th and i planned it such that gab will pass the frisbee to yj, but throw far far. While yj was picking up the frisbee, we grabbed him and dunked him in too! So yeaa, played dodge ball in the sea and all. But i went to shore not long after cos my toes were getting cramp -.- Sat there, talked about AO with gab, discussed about bball with th gab and jh. Then they went into the sea again to wrestle. While i lay down there to sun tan. By the time i got up, my ball was gone. Floated somewhere very far away. LOL. But its okay lar, found that ball while i was at white sands resort, just a lousy ball. &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;At duno what time, we went to bathe. YJ bathed first cos originally he had to leave for dinner with his family. But he still stayed for dinner with us in the end. Quite dumb, so many ppl in there, I was lazy to queue, so i used the tap to bathe. HAHAHA. Pay 50 cents just to use the tap is quite stupid -.- Oh well, we had dinner at Pastamania, bought milk tea at 7-11 and homed. =)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pic we took. JH's not in there, cos he dun wan take out his shirt -.- Planned to take a photo with shirt on, but we forgot after dinner. HAHAHA. From left: Yong Jian, Kai, Boon Keong, Tzehow, Gabriel. I should dedicate a whole post to introduce my gang of guys some time soon. Cos i always write 'my gang of guys' in my posts. LOL. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basketball match with BK's class people on wed. We're most prolly gonna thrash them, according to what bk and gab say, so th and i were thinking prolly treat it as a normal training session. =x Thursday going out with ivan, prolly zhao long too, to buy the bbq stuff and all. Then friday bbq. Ivan managed to call Mrs Renee Lee, my physics teacher, to come along. O.O I was only asking whether should call anot, then ivan help me settle already -.- Prolly my first time got teacher come celebrate b'dae for me, hahaha. But since she's coming already, should i call Ms Wang and Mr Pang along?? o.o Okayy gotta contact my class ppl the details about the bbq..&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-2255667720060785933?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/2255667720060785933/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=2255667720060785933' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/2255667720060785933'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/2255667720060785933'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2008/12/what-i-was-trying-to-do.html' title='What I was trying to do'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/ST0ZaiwFJxI/AAAAAAAAADE/3v5xpw_eFv0/s72-c/Image035.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-1546745657009814504</id><published>2008-12-06T22:47:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-06T22:56:09.304+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Never knowing, what could have been</title><content type='html'>Bball today, so many people at the court.

Zomg i duno why, i've been waking up lastest 7.30am the last few months, and today i woke up at 8.15am. It's normally raining when i wake up so late, but this morning was sunny and bright! Funny. But its okay lar, my latest-wake-up-time-record is not broken yet, 8.30am. HAHAHA. Okay it sounds crazy, but i cant slp till noon like most other ppl can. My family have always been early-wakers. I wonder how it feels to slp 12 hours a day, and wake up at noon o.o

Been slacking these last few days, tired. But tmr going bball, sunday going ecp with the guys. And yj's coming along on sunday! LONG LONG time since i met him. But he doesnt know how to rollerblade, so im gonna have to teach him. Zomg, i've taught quite a few ppl already. YJ's prolly gonna be the 5th one. I was teaching weiting and weiming last time we went out for 1st intake outing. Then I taught bk and jh the last time we went ecp. O.O

I'm gonna be quite busy next week. Gotta arrange with ivan and zhao long go buy bbq stuff, and prolly plan activities for that day? BBQ's on friday, around...15+- ppl coming? Got a few ppl not confirm yet. Hahaha. Then the guys were saying next week go sentosa play beach volleyball!

I went there earlier for gab and jh to play guitar hero! Hah as expected, bro played reli well, much better than me o.o Oh and i took a pic! &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275362925258743922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/STXaoWVQIHI/AAAAAAAAACc/3QS0NREitos/s400/Photo0308.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div&gt;Jh playing guitar hero! hahaha. The other guys met us at JP, had subway for dinner, bought alcohol. I saw something...someone... I hope I saw wrong. Anyway, back at gab's house, we went to play bball. Long long long time since i played with my gang of guys. Court was small, but I enjoyed thrashing tzehow and his team. LOL. Went back, we thought the drinks werent enough, so gab,bk,jk went to buy more drinks, while th,jh,tl and me stayed to play 'I never', with alcohol as forfeit. The sakae wasn't strong at all, though it wrote there 11%, and the bottle was reli small, so we finished the bottle quite quickly. We then played it with beer. Hah then th and i were thinking of ways to sabo jh. TH went: " I never poke ppl with a G2 pen before" and I went "I never put my head while doing a lay-up" HAHAHA. Okay, I'm a sinful guy, so I downed the most beer there, like..2.5 cans? We finished that carton of 6 beers by then, so we stopped. But jh was amazing. Only a bit of sakae, and ONE can of beer, and HE GOT HIGH. Face and whole body was reallyyyyyyyyyyyy red, and he was speaking gibberish all the time. HAHAHA. His words and actions are too funny. Gab then took out the bottle of vodka, and we started mixing it with raspberry juice o.o It was okay lar, I didnt reli like the taste though, so I only drank a bit of that. Watched AVP2 and What Happens in Vegas. We then decided to go down to the pool and walk walk, tl stayed behind to bathe and slp. Zomg Lakeshore's pool is so nice and big. Gab, th and i went to soak in the Jaccuzzi/Spa/Hot Spring whatever that is. Water was warm, and I slept in there for a few mins. HAHAHA. After getting back to gab's house, tl was already slping, then jh and cyril went to slp as well. UNGLAM PICS. &lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275366857771833410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/STXeNQFb2EI/AAAAAAAAACk/bKdH4UVNlC8/s400/Photo0309.jpg" border="0" /&gt;Cyril and JH.

&lt;p&gt;TL =p&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So jk,bk, gab and i stayed up to play guitar hero. But jk went to slp at..4+am? He slept in gab's room, so i didnt manage to take an unglam pic =/ So while the guys were slping, gab was playing guitar hero, bk was playing monster hunter, and I was looking for a mmorpg to play! Found quite a nice one, did some in-depth research, and the 3 of us are playing it currently! Shall keep the name a secret, in case JH sees this, starts playing and fails his exams LOL. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So in the morning, after waking up, we went to eat macs for breakfast. My first time eating the Mega burger. Was okay lar, using pancakes as the bread for burger is quite creative. After that, some guys left. Cyril, tl, gab and I went back to watch The Reaping. Thought it was a horror movie, but apparently its not. Gab fell aslp halfway, I was falling aslp at the starting cos it was reli boring. But I stayed up cos it got exciting in the end. HAHAH. Story had a twist to it, but I didn't reli like it lar. Andd sooo, we went home after that! I didnt slp after reaching home, was wide awake. Supposed to meet emo on msn at night, I only went online at 11+pm, and she wasnt on! She only came online at like..12am? Didnt reli talk to her, cos I was reli tired by then, and went to slp xD Sorry emo!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So I just came back from Downtown East there. Stayed at Costa Sands Resort with my family. Sudden decision for this family outing, cos my dad is normally very busy when his boss is around. But his boss was overseas these 2 days, so my dad took this chance to take leave. LOL. Didnt reli do much there? Monday go there played Wild Wild Wet. Zomg we saw Adrian Pang, the mediacorp artiste, while queuing up for the tickets. He looks older than on tv =x Wild Wild Wet...wasnt reli fun. Lol. Slides and everything, long time since I played them, but nothing exciting. At night, had dinner at his restaurant called Just Acia. Not bad, a meal for 11~13 bucks, includes free flow drink (mocha,latte,milo,coffee,lemonade,peach tea,mountain dew,sprite,coke), and free flow ice-cream (chocolate,coffee,corn,vanilla,strawberry, and something else). But we didnt even eat much, cos we had to rush for the 7pm movie. There werent anything nice to watch, so we just went to watch City of Embers. Zomg this is my first time watching movie ever since Red Cliff came out, which is like many months back. The movie wasnt reli nice, very National Treasure like, 'cept National Treasure they go through all those adventures to find treasure...City of Embers go through a lot to find...sunrise. LOL. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tuesday morning we just went cycling/roller blading. Long long time since I rollerbladed. My bro's rollerblades broke, as in 2 straps broke.

I've been playing the whole of last night, and today. I don't wanna go back to being a game addict like I was in sec 2/3. Thoughts of secondary sch life suddenly popped up while I was playing guitar hero just now, so I'm here to do some...reflections?

Shall start with sec 2. I was a pure slacker. Basketball almost everyday after school, then go home play gunbound. I dont do homework, I sleep during lessons, I pon CCAs. Life was crazy back then. Everyday, the first thing I do after reaching school is to borrow homework from shelvi to copy, and I dont absorb anything at all. So my results were nonsense. Was voted by classmates to be in council, but Mrs Margaret Loh didnt want to write a testimonial for me since I was such a bad student. She still wrote 2 sentences in the end, but I just quit being in council, since I don't really see any point. My math results were so bad that I had to take a retest (on my birthday). If I failed, I wont be allowed to take Add. Math, good thing I passed. But my results were just as crap, and my cohort ranking was 200+ out of around 240 students. Little wonder why I went to 4/6, the worst express class in school.

Then in sec 3, there weren't really any major exams to work for. So I didnt have any motivation to study. Again, I didnt do homework, reach home whole day play CO. So of course, I didnt do well for exams as well. I had L1R5 of 31 points by end of sec 3, which was really pathetic. The school held this meeting for those with poor results, brought us together, and gave a motivational talk. We were then made to set targets for our results for O levels. I remember clearly that the teacher in charge of looking at my targets was Mr Leong, HOD of math, that six finger freak. I set targets of A1 for both math, i forgot the other targets, but I was aiming for below 10 points. Mr Leong looked at my results, "wah, so ambitious ar." and started laughing. He then 'helped' me lower my targets to make it L1R5 15 points.

Sec 4 started, and I started out...too enthusiastic, like what jj said. I was appointed phy rep, chem rep, chi rep -.- I sat at the front row, knowing that I'll focus better in front. Even though I started out working quite hard since beginning of year, my results were not good. I had L1R5 of 25 points at sec 4 mid-year. I then stayed back in school to study everyday, then stay for night study with weijie every night. The canteen wasnt really a conducive place to study, but it was better than staying at home. It's sad to say this, but it was exactly because Mrs Margaret Loh and Mr Leong looked down on me, that motivated me to study. Well, at least part of the motivation. I started aiming high, competing with yongjian(guy from best class in my sch) during prelims. Of course, I got thrashed. I got 14 points for prelims. Mrs Yip, our vice principal, was showing my class the results of our seniors, and she showed me that people who got 14 points during prelims could get 9 points for O's, and she challenged me to do the same. Sure enough, I got 9 points for O's, and was the only person in my class who got single digit L1R5 (before cca points deduction,etc). My whole class did relatively well, and Mrs Yip was full of praises for my class. Well...from 31 points to 9 points in one year, its little wonder I received the good progress award. LOL.

Okayy, this is prolly my first emo post in this blog. I'm not gonna write another emo one anytime soon. Stayover at bro's house tmr with my gang of guys.. ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT. I'm gonna bring my guitar hero there for bro to play. This sounds gay, but meeting this group of guys was one of the best things that ever happened to me. =)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-5582660066378110360?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/5582660066378110360/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=5582660066378110360' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/5582660066378110360'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/5582660066378110360'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2008/11/im-so-fed-up-with-my-thoughts-of-you.html' title='I&apos;m so fed up with my thoughts of you'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-2363335869842670498</id><published>2008-11-27T12:25:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-27T12:44:46.455+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Same old song and dance</title><content type='html'>Yes yes, so i've been playing guitar hero all this while! But needa take frequent breaks, my eyes and fingers get tired easily o.o Uhh I completed easy difficulty before going to slp last night. Most songs were quite easy, except one. It's soooooooo freaking difficult that I had to practice it a lot of times before I finally completed the song (with luck). Went to gamefaqs to check, and the guide also say its supposed to be one of the hardest songs.

&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUDWLp1yIWw"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUDWLp1yIWw&lt;/a&gt;

Go check it out and see how crazy the song is -.- But oh well, I still managed to complete it. I tried again today, and couldnt complete it again. zZz.. Anyway, I played a bit this morning too, went on to medium difficulty, still getting used to the new 4-button play. But it's okay I guess, completed 11 songs already. HAHAHA. The boss battles are fun, quite different from the guitar duels in my DS. But its funny how i have to tilt the guitar vertically up to use the items and activate star power. I do it with so huge movements, so much my parents thought i was crazy. HAHAHA. Andd im getting used to the slight lag, 'cept the notes suddenly speed up for a while after i activate star power, quite irritating. But overall, its FUNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Ohh and i went to buy a bonus song using the in-game cash, and they got the remix for a song that mel introduced me! The  'fuck condoms, pre-marital sex is the shit!' song by fall of troy. HAHAHA. I love the game! =D

@bro: I'll go to your house earlier tmr! Like morning! So you can play!
@mel: When did u say u're going overseas again?? I can lend you when I'm away in Melbourne! But that's if you're not overseas at that time o.o&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4171998505150341918-2363335869842670498?l=staeart.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/feeds/2363335869842670498/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4171998505150341918&amp;postID=2363335869842670498' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/2363335869842670498'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4171998505150341918/posts/default/2363335869842670498'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://staeart.blogspot.com/2008/11/same-old-song-and-dance.html' title='Same old song and dance'/><author><name>StrikeD</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10101027651540529249</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4171998505150341918.post-8113475850934786333</id><published>2008-11-26T18:10:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-26T18:27:52.584+08:00</updated><title type='text'>I'm gonna rock &amp; roll all night!</title><content type='html'>Ok today..I FINALLY BOUGHT MY PC GUITAR HERO!!!!!!!!!
&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Zomg i tell u, it wasnt easy finding it at all. I first went to Funan Digitalife mall. I walked up and down twice, asking every electronics store whether they sell pc guitar hero. Absolutely no stores in the whole big building sold pc guitar hero. -.- There were lots of 'guitar hero' on display, but all of them were for Xbox360/PS3/Wii. I got so excited when i walked past a store that had 'Guitar Hero III Legends of Rock' on display. I went in to take a look, it was written 'for Playstation 3' -.- Me being desperate to get pc guitar hero, went down to sim lim to take a look. I was quite reluctant to go there at first, cos so messy, and there are always news of store vendors scamming their customers. But i was desperate, so oh well. Went there, asked every store from bottom up. When i reach 3rd floor, FINALLY there was a store selling pc guitar hero. But was selling for 160SGD, 10 bucks more than what i saw at IMM a few weeks back. So I continued going up some more, but there were NO more stores selling pc guitar hero! So i quickly went back to the store on the 3rd floor to get the one and only left. When i reach the store, there were 2 guys looking at it. Silly me quickly took up the guitar hero and went to the counter. The 2 guys were jus staring at me. HAHAHA. Okayy lar, managed to haggle the price to 150SGD, and I BOUGHT IT. WAHAHAHA. &lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was so worried that my laptop cannot play this. Cos I didnt meet the minimum system requirements to play this game O.O They needed 2gb RAM for windows vista, I only got 1gb. They needed at least geforce 7600 graphics card, i only had geforce 7300. LUCKY everything went quite smoothly. I had to change the settings to lousy graphics though, if not will lag. It still lags quite a lot even so, but it's playable lar. I was reading up on the reviews of the game before I bought this, and everyone was saying the difficulty of this game is quite high. Which I agree. Easy difficulty songs here are like medium difficulty songs on my DS -.- But it's only 3 buttons for easy difficulty, so its still quite easy lar. Uhh gameplay's kinda different from my DS, either that or its cos my comp is laggy. I play DS guitar hero, must strum the notes exactly on the dot. Play this one, i need to strum it like 0.2 seconds earlier. But its okay lar, I'm getting the hang of it already =D My laptop screen's kinda small, so i connected my laptop to my tv to play. HAHAHA. I've only completed around 15 songs on easy difficulty. I think i'm gonna complete easy difficulty by tonight, 27 more songs to go. =D &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yes yes, mel and bro(gab), please get jealous.

I wanted to update ytd actually, but i was lazy =x

Anyway, BON VOYAGE to EMO my daughter. You won't be seeing this anytime soon, but take care ok, dont fall into the drain again x.x



Soo i went back for shooting training today! i didnt want to stay actually, only wanted to give something to someone. but ivan sms me saying he might be early, so i just stayed to train. (and to fill up the empty lanes =x ) I shot pistol today, cos' my left arm's injured, cant really hold the rifle. My first time shooting 60 shots using pistol. Uhh...the shots were crap, but at least i improved! I cant even hit the card last time when i shoot pistol, i just go *biang biang biang* hitting the metal wall behind. But I only had 2 *biangs* out of my 60 shots today! O.O Hah and ms fan and lauren went to the range too. Long time since i last saw them. But still...the attendance was pretty crap cos of ocip. I went back last wednesday, only got what...i forgot the number, but v few ppl. last friday only had 7 ppl. today only got..7 j1s? HAHAHA. Oh well..



Ivan came at 11+..so i went off to ubi avenue with him. Uhh found bbq house which was reli disappointing, then we went to tampines to have lunch. LJS golden deal 4 is a rip off. 3 shrimps + 1 fish and fries for 7.15 -.- Anyway, we went to NTUC after tt to compare the prices for the stuff we're getting for the bbq at my house a few weeks later. Just noted down the differences in prices, and ivan's mum helped do the budgeting. LOL. Total around 120 bucks, not including otah. Okay lar, was expecting it to be higher. HAH. Soo i went to ivan's house after that. Was quite tired, so first thing i did after entering his room was to slp on his bed. HAHAHA. Zomg, i did the same thing when i went to joshua(wong)'s house last year. But joshua and i slept on the same bed last year, ivan didnt slp with me today. IM A SLUT HAHAHAH. Anyway, i went to play bball with him after resting a while. Uhh..didnt reli play much lar. All small kids down there, only like..lower secondary? Anyhow play also thrash them, but i was quite off form today O.O Then it started raining after playing like 1hr+, so i went home. Surprisingly, seng kang isnt reli as far as i thought. lol.



So i came home...ate dinner...and wrote a nintendo DS buying guide for Amos. Zomg. He didnt have any knowledge of DS at all, so i wrote quite a long guide and recommended buying places for him. Prices for DS are so cheap now, prolly cos DSi coming out. But im not gonna get the DSi though, a camera isnt reli tt important o.o After eating dinner, i continued downloading my spore game! Uhh considerably amazing download speed. It was constant at around 450kb/s, not bad for my internet plan i think. Andd I finished downloading SPORE! Quite laggy on my comp though, but playable lar. I havent reli started playing yet, I just took a glance at the creatures. ZOMG there are like 1631 creatures available to choose from. I got quite a few eyecandies from the list LOL. Andd i created my first creature!&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272600322897019698" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rN2LR4dMJPM/SSwKDujjAzI/AAAAAAAAACM/pKZ29cFGQbE/s400/moo+moo+boo+boo.jpg" border="0" /&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Meet moo moo boo boo! The first creature that I created! HAHAHA.

A's just ended yesterday, computing paper. Shan't talk about it, cos its all OVERRRRRRRRRRR! =p

Hmm so i started my first day of freedom...in a weird way. I woke up early morning to make my way to tampines. yes, tampines, the other side of singapore for me -.- the reason is even more stupid. i went there to sell my neopoints!! yes NEOPETS NEOPOINTS LOL. uhh apparently my bro went back to neopets a while back, found out tt people were buying neopoints at 8-10 SGD per million. So I went to sell off my 30 million neopoints! Gave tt guy a discount, only sold him for 250SGD, since he was buying in bulk. Oh wait, i sold him for 252 SGD actually, cos he made me travel all the way to tampines, i collected 2 bucks transport fee from him. HAHAHA. Hmm and im prolly gonna meet up another guy sometime soon to sell my Battleon account. Yes yes, stupid game, but still got people want buy from me. Stupid guy though, im only selling for 100 bucks, he wan pay by installment -.- Okok enough of this nonsense. I'm not gonna be a game farmer anymore, alvin(see) is gonna scold me. LOL

Ok so im enlisting NS on april 14th! Together with menveer, eugene(lim), daryl(goh), and many others according to eugene. It's a good thing actually, to be able to with so many frens. HAHA. I don't reli have plans for the hols yet, but i got a wish list out! My parents are selfish and dont wanna subsidise me at all, but im gonna buy them anyway. Bike, LED watch, Jigsaw puzzle, PC Guitar Hero, Chucks, jeans, external hard drive. Andd i wanna take up archery, cooking/baking, andd prolly dancing (if i can find a dance partner). Thats all i can think of right now! But I'm gonna take my time getting them lar, dun wanna rush everything out so fast.

Uhh first post, dun wanna post so long entry! Oh ya, to my class ppl, u guys free on 13th dec? come my hse bbq, then 14th send kannan off! =p
