CRASH!

2009-05-05T15:24:00.003+08:00

rode twice over the long weekend, and crashed both times.. LOL!

crash one at tampines bike trail:
after a whole morning of jumping tabletops and trashing through the jungle trail, we decided to go to the pinoy built unofficial thingy near the super D.. suan and jo went first and then when i tried it, pulled a little too much on the bars, got great air, landed on back wheel and manualled down for like 3 seconds, louped out, and crashed.. all suan and jo could do was get excited say that it was epic, and that they should have recorded it..

went prawning with lots of seniors as well.. paid for 2 hours and caught the most prawns i ever did.. LOL! Dickson and Geraldine kept moving around trying to catch.. sharon and clara didnt have any luck as well.. cooked all the prawns on the spot that day.. supposed to kill them with salt water before putting them in the oven, but not all of them died

crash two at pulau ubin:
dispite the painful tailbone, went to ubin with suan jo and noel.. had to stand at the back of the boat throughout the journey to ubin.. noel had 3 crashes, resulting in lots of cuts and bruises, and a nasty swollen pinkey.. i, on the other hand, smashed my foot between my pedals and a tree stump/rock on the ground that i didnt see while going quite fast in the black diamond..

saw a china woman have an epic crash right in front of the hut we were resting in.. she was going very fast down the slope and her front wheel wobbled.. flew over the bike, and then fliped 180 on her head.. luckily jojo, who just took a first aid course was there at hand..

How to cook like Nick pt. 2

2009-04-01T15:50:00.002+08:00

Welcome back to How to Cook Like Nick! Today, we shall be making simple yet delicious mini-burgers!

ingredients:

1 whole portabello mushroom
50g of beef, minced
mini-burger bun
butter
mayonnaise
cheddar or any hard cheese

We start by slicing up the portabello, and frying them with a little bit of butter
remove from the heat, and then set it aside
take your minced beef, and mold then into patties using your hands. you can add chopped onions if you like
season the patty with salt and pepper
add a nice dollop of butter into a hot pan, and wait till it melts halfway before putting your patty inwhile your patty is cooking, cut your bun in half, and butter one side, and mayo the other. add a slice of cheese to the bottom half
cook your beef for a minute on each side for medium temperature, and longer for well done
once ready, remove from the heat and wait for the bun
assemble everything and tuck in!

2009-03-30T23:13:00.002+08:00

another picture of Remy.. haha! my bowling coach and cycling kaki..

went to the supermarket just now, and i was suddenly seized by a sudden urge to buy minced beef to make hamburgers.. so got some other stuff and went home to try..

made my first ever mini-burger which consisted of mini wheat burger buns, a medium done 1" patty, slices of portabello mushroom, melted cheddar, mayo and butter with salt and pepper to taste.. forgot to take a picture, but i'll remember to do so if i make another one tomorrow!

2009-03-27T15:11:00.002+08:00

since i was about 12 and my dad bought me my first ever Need for Speed (Underground), i was hooked onto cars. that very same week of buying the game, i discovered top gear, and turned into a right car nut.

so anyway, since 12, i have always wanted to drive and i recall telling my mum that if i buy a car next time, i would be a manual because that was how real drivers drove.

then years past, and i grew more and more worried about being able to attain a license what with my colour deficiency. but a few months after i turned 18, on a breezy morning, 27/02/09, my dad, the one who first got me hooked by buying me my first ever NFS, drove me to Ubi to register, knowing full well that he won't be able to see much of his beloved car after i've passed.

1 month later, 27/03/09, today, i've cleared my first obstacle to obtaining a license. with any luck, by the same date next month, i'd have cleared my second.

Choices

2009-03-27T00:56:00.003+08:00

Serena (Ex TPVC Prez) organised a small competition on facebook among members with the theme COLOUR.. thought i'd give it a shot.. my entry is titled 'Choices'

P/s i thought i'd try and post more entries onto the blog to try saving it from death

2009-03-21T03:46:00.003+08:00

went to the pump track with suan the other day right after night cycling and WE MANAGED TO CLEAR THE DAMN 1st TABLE-TOP!

okay okay.. i didnt really do it.. here's suan doing it proper

i damn near did it though =P

on bikes again, i lost my trusty 661 Raji gloves =( so had to replace them with new ones.. bought the '09 Fox Dirtpaw.. and i finally bought my e.Thirteen SRS chainguide, but on standby for my bash guard which is going to be a sick limited-ed green.. more pics when i've gotten it

2009-02-08T22:12:00.003+08:00

my best macro to date! took during the macro expedition yesterday.. its a golden coloured fly.. not sure what type, but Noel says that it will grab other flies out of the air and lay eggs on them

and my first successful post processed IR picture! i know.. the picture is very OOF.. but it was at 3.5, 2seconds because i didnt have a tripod with me..

2009-02-06T11:04:00.002+08:00

Didn't change anything this month except for the grips which are now Mortops to match the rims.. Francis from LnT is now trying to psyco me to change my pedals to the same green.. LOL

on another note, I FINALLY BOGHT MY WII!! And of course, this!!

2008-12-17T22:20:00.004+08:00

decided to do a blog entry as a parody to Sharon's one here.

the dish i'm cooking is an italian classic with a slight asian twist:
Portobello & fresh scallop linguini ala aglio olio

fresh, whole portobello mushrooms, washed, stems removed and sliced
extra virgin olive oil
the other ingredients: Linguini pasta, chopped garlic, portobello mushroom, red chillies (optional), fresh scallops, olive oil, and chicken seasoning powder
firstly, boil the pasta in water with a pinch of salt till al-dante
strain, and add olive oil so that the pasta dosent stick
add olive oil to a hot pan, and add garlic. fry till white in colour, then add mushrooms
fry mushrooms till about 3/4 cooked before adding the scallops
fry everything till cooked, then add in abit of water and chicken stock
sautee and allow the water to reduce. add pasta, and toss till pasta is covered in the gravy

voila! take off heat, and season with grated cheese and chilli flakes. eat from the pan

Remembering

2008-12-14T03:54:00.004+08:00

Read this on Dickson's blog and really brought back fond memories of primary school life and growing up.. its really sad to realise that such times are no more.. the fun times spent with our primary school buddies whom we no longer contact.. heck.. if i saw them, i dont think i'll even recognise them anyway..

so goodbye good old primary school days
goodbye Samuel Tan. The days we spent doing stupid things together with Nelson will always be remembered.
i hope you're doing fine in heaven

1. You grew up watching He-man, Transformers, Silverhawk, Ultraman, Super Friends, Woody WoodPecker, Tom & Jerry, Care Bears, My Little Pony, Smurfs and Mickey Mouse. Not to forget, maybe Ninja turtles too.

2. You grew up brushing your teeth with a mug in primary school during recess time. You would squat by a drain with all your classmates beside you, and brush your teeth with a colored mug. The teachers said you must brush each side ten times. Not forgetting the silly red tablet which you know not the purpose for.

3. You know what SBC stands for.

4. You know in school, you could subscribe to get the milk which would come before you go back home. Some days you would get chocolate milk, other days strawberry. The old Magnolia fresh milk came in a triangular packet.

5. You were there when the first Chinese serial, The Awakening was shown on TV.

6. Everyone in class would tremble in fear when someone with a gauze stuck in the mouth came to your class and called out a name to go visit the school dentist.

7. You find your friends with pagers and handphone cool in secondary school.

8. SBS buses used to be non-airconditioned. The bus seats were made of wood and the cushion was red. The big red bell gave a loud BEEEP when pressed. There were colorful tickets for CSS buses. The conductor would check tickets using a machine that punched a hole in each ticket. All SBS buses used to be manually operated, with a gigantic gearstick to the left of the driver.

9. Your favorite actor and actress were Huang Wenyong and Xiang Yun. Next were Li Nanxing and Zoe Tay and the Aiyoyo woman (Chen Liping).

10. You’ve probably read Young Generation magazine. You know who’s Vinny the Little Vampire and Constable Acai. For some, cikgu will always ask to buy the “Dewan Bahasa” magazine.

11. You were there when they first introduced MRT here (Yio Chu Kang to Toa Payoh). You went for the first ride with your parents and you would kneel on the seat to see the scenery.

12. Movie tickets used to cost only $3.50. Tickets were scrawled across using big red pencils. Ushers brought you into the cinemas using big metallic torchlights.

13. Gals were fascinated by Strawberry Short Cake and Barbie Dolls. You also collected sticker books of Street Fighter, The Semi-Pro Soccer League (for boys) and care bears (for girls) by Panini, trying to complete the impossible task of filling up each sticker book.

14. You remember some taxis were green in color. Taxis had gearsticks behind the steering wheel, with a transparent knob and little colorful flowers inside the knobs.

15. You longed to buy tidbits called Kaka (20 cents per pack), and Ding Dang (50 cents per box), that had a toy in it and it changes every week. Not forgetting the 15-cent animal crackers and the ringpop, where the lollipop is the diamond on the ring. There were such things like the 20-cent dinosaur eggs, the 10-cent satay, Choki Choki Chocolate Sticks and the all favorite 10-cent “Air batu” that broke into two parts to be shared amongst friends.

16. You watched TV2 (also known as Channel 10) cartoons because Channel 5 never had enough cartoons for you.

17. All that you know about Cantonese is from the
Hong Kong serials you watched on TV2. You probably would remember George Lam as the moustached man whose line was “Are you OK?” in the Guiness Stout Advertisement.

18. You grew up reading ladybird books. Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, The Three Investigators, Famous Five and Secret Seven were probably the thickest story books you ever thought you had. Even Sweet Valley High and Malory
Towers. You also love Enid Blyton’s Enchanted Wood, Magic Faraway tree… and the 5-dollar Bookworm book you bought when there was a book fair in school.

19. The only food you bought from McDonalds was the fish fillet burger and French fries as it wasn’t halal back then and your parents didn’t allow you to buy other stuff.

20. KFC used to be a high class place that let you use metal forks and knives.

21. The most vulgar thing you said was “asshole” and “idiot”… you just couldn’t bring yourself to say the Hokkien relative.

22. Catching was the “in” thing (a.k.a. Police and Thief) and twist or “choap” was the magic word. For those who always frequented the void decks, there was the “rumah dayak”, Octopus and “Goli Duit”.

23. Your English workbook was made of some poor quality paper that was smooth and yellow. And the textbooks were striped in different colors for different levels.

24. Some part of your school was ALWAYS haunted, like the toilet or clock tower or a certain block. You walk fast to avoid them.

25. The only computer lessons in school involved funny pixel characters in 16 colors walking about trying to teach you math. You printed with noisy dot matrix printers and used computer paper with two rows of holes at the sides. Mouse? What’s that?

26. Waterbottles, with your favorite cartoon character on it, were slung around your neck and a must everywhere you go.

27. Boys loved to play soccer with small tennis balls in the basketball court.

28. Hopscotch, five stones, chapteh and zero point were all the rage with the girls and boys too…

29. Science was fun with the balsam and the angsana being the most important plants of our lives. Remember the “Young Scientist” badge you got when you completed the set of tasks in written on the blue booklet for “Young Ecologist”, “Young Botanist”, etc? The first excursion to the Science Centre was the best day of your life.

30. Who could forget Ahmad, Bala, Gopal, Sumei, Peihua and John, eternalised in the textbooks. Even Mr. Wolly, Mr. Yakki.

31. You did stupid exercises like seal crawl and frog jumps.

32. Every Children’s Day and National Day you either get pencils or pens printed with “Happy Children’s Day 1983″ or dumb files printed with “Happy National Day 1984″.

33. In Primary Six you had to play buddy for the younger kids like big sister and brother.

34. There was an ACES day where you would get this stupid hat and do the Great Singapore Workout.

35. The Scouts used to wear shorts, and the NCC uniform was a plain green color without camouflage.

36. The worksheets were made of rough brown paper of poor quality. During art and craft classes, you had to make your own art folio using a vanguard sheet.

37. You went to school in slippers and a raincoat when it rained, and you find a dry spot in the school to sit and wipe yourself dry. Then you wear your dry and warm socks and shoes.

38. During National Day, you would have to do and decorate your own shakers, usually using a cassette tape container, or an empty aluminium can with green beans inside all taped up and decorated with white and red paper. Who can forget the all-time favorite recorder you played during music lessons?

39. After exams, you brought Game & Watch to school, and played card games like “Snap”, “Donkey” and “Old Maid”. You also played pick-up sticks and Snakes & Ladders and the aeroplane board game. Those erasers with the flags were also a popular game. Either that or you would play those cards comparing aeroplanes, warships, or tanks - who had more firepower or speed or weight, etc.

40. You remember your uncles, big brothers and father screaming and shouting in front of the TV when the
Singapore soccer team (always in blue jerseys) played against the Malaysians.

41. Your friends considered you lucky and rich if your parents gave you $3 or more for pocket money everyday.

42. During class gatherings, parents always tag along in case someone gets lost at Orchard Road

43. You freak out when the teacher tells you to line up according to height and hold hands with the corresponding boy or girl.

44. Handkerchieves were a must for both genders

45. Collecting notebooks, erasers and all kinds of stationery was a popular thing. The bookshop was a favorite place to go to get all those stuff during recess.

46. Autograph books were loaded with “Best Wishes”, “Forget Me Not”, and little poems like “Birds fly high, hard to catch. Friends like you, hard to forget”.

47. Class monitors and prefects loved to say “You talk somemore, I write your name ah!”

48. You remember songs sung by a huge group of people, like 4U2C, Feminin, Nico (Malay) and the English “We Are The World”. In secondary school, you listened to Bananarama, Jason Donavan, Kylie Minogue, New Kids on the Block, ABBA, and Tommy Page (Remember “A Shoulder to Cry On“?)

49. Large, colorful schoolbags were carried. And fanciful pencil cases with lots of small tiny drawers, trays, sharpener or thermometer that pop out at the push of a button were the “in” thing.

50. You brought every single book to school, even though there was one thing called the timetable, written on the inside cover of your little blue notebook.

2008-09-14T02:05:00.002+08:00

i've set my mind on either the new '09 model of the Scott Voltage YZ-35 , or the '08 Da Bomb Tora-Bora..

yesterday, went to Ubin with Noel and Suan.. it rained while on the way there, and we had to stop at a few bus stops for shelter.. the final stretch to changi village, we braved the rain with our minds tuned to the promise of good nasi lemak once we reach.. but when we did, the damn hawker center was closed.. DAMMIT! subway-ed instead..

once at ubin, went around and took pics of all the spots that we needed.. we then headed to Ketam again.. this time, Suan was wise enough not to attempt the teeter-toter.. haha! we went to 'Pupin' instead.. the pump track.. we loved it so much that we went round it 5 times.. haha!

today, FOOD HUNT with Dick and Suan.. me and Dick cycled to ECP to meet Suan who was at macs.. we then cycled down to bugis for wanton noodles.. after the noodles, we went to the bencoolen for ice monster.. we then cycled down to chinatown with the intention of eating sausages.. but the place was jam packed and we skipped it and went to maxwell instead.. the chicken rice was closed :-( so had the famous 'hum chee peng' and 'yuan yang'.. cycled down to the esplanade to cruse around.. but it turns out that the mid autumn festivities were everywhere.. coupled together with the F1 circuit testing, we couldent really go anywhere.. so we decided to go home.. haha!

the UpRising

2008-08-24T21:09:00.006+08:00

after 1 and a half years, i finally decided to get a new bowling ball for myself, amidst of all the wants for photography and biking.. haha! after much persuasion from uncle James from eastern pro shop at NSRCC, i decided to get track's latest high performance: the Uprising..

this spherical object is one of the most forgiving balls i've ever thrown.. the first roll delivered a strike.. haha! this will replace my long-overdue-for-replacement Ebonite Total NV..

a short video taken by my brother.. i lobbed the ball slightly as the oiling in the front part of the lane was very bad..

2008-08-20T01:58:00.003+08:00

seldom posting these few days.. haha! becoming lazy to maintain this blog.. might consider stopping it entirely.. or maybe just update once in awhile..

anyway, since im taking a break from mugging..

woke up at 10 today.. went to school at 11, and was supposed to be meeting my mobcomp groupmates to finish up the project and to present to teacher.. in the end, waited till 11.30 when i got a call from teacher.. he opened the lab for me, and i went in to wait for my groupmates..

waited for 2 freaking hours and non of them came.. the lights keep going off, and i had to stand up and wave my hands around to turn them on again and again.. in the end, at 1.30, teacher had to go for a meeting.. so i presented the whole thing by myself.. i did the whole thing anyway.. haha! went back to cc after that and slacked.. sent baby home at 3+ and went back home.. cycled down to school after that to meet Suan YaWen and Alvin.. went to bedok reservoir with them as Suan and Alvin jogged 5km in preparation for their Nike 10km run.. cycled alongside them..

raced Suan and YaWen in Suan's civic to the main entrance, and i won =P

multiracial? phah!

2008-08-19T00:46:00.005+08:00

my macbook got stolen today.. no, seriously.. guess by what specific race? i wont mention that god forsaken race here, but im guessing that you guys already know which particular race it is as it has a knack of producing ill mannered, poorly brought up, useless, primitive.. etc etc.. creatures that we share our humble island with, and are probably caused by years of inbreeding and sick perversion that they are known for

so anyway, i left my macbook at cc for what was to be 5 mins while i went to the bookshop and back.. during that time, one of the more inbreed male from said racial group decided that my macbook is pretty.. so instead of just admiring it and maybe taking a picture or two, decided to tuck it under his blue shirt and run out of cc.. luckily for me, PH saw it, and gave chase.. said chase was claimed to be epic with the mongrel running for dear apple goodness towards bedok reservoir.. PH recruited some help, which included the like of a foreign student on a bicycle. said student then gave chase, and when said unintelligent creature realised that it was a failure in life, decided to give up and throw my macbook + charger into the grass before taking flight.. sadly, the nasty piece of excrement was not caught and given a proper decapitation, but my macbook was safe..

back at cc, we reviewed the cctv, which the shit-for-brains didnt realise existed, and saw how he had scouted the area, and only entered when both PH and Dom was not at the counter.. the cctv just managed to catch a glimpse of his trollish, primitive face, but it is unclear if it would be of any use to us.. it showed how he touched lots and lots of things in cc with his clumsy, sausage-like fingers, thus leaving numerous fingerprints for the police to work with..

seeing how a mac is an advanced piece of technology, i must ponder about how a laid-back, unintelligent ape like himself could have comprehended the complexities of it, and thus had to conclude that he would sell it, and buy more bright blond hair dye, cigarettes, trucker caps, piercings and skinny jeans for himself to make him look like our average everyday (racial group) hooligan..

well, thus ends the epic tale of my macbook, and know that on this day (18/08/08), the civilised triumphed over the lower classed, incomprehensibly stupid.

P.S. I have NOT and WILL NOT reveal the aforementioned ethnic group in my blog. if you have a dying need to know which one it is, approach me directly.

P.P.S then again, you would have already guessed which low-lifed scum i am talking about

Fwah~ EPIC!

2008-08-16T23:07:00.003+08:00

woke up at 8 on friday and cycled down to school.. put my bike at cc, then went for class.. after class, went back to cc and waited for Suan and Colin to arrive on their bikes.. after a short rest, we set off for the tampines bike trail.. didnt fall at all this time, but Colin fell like 5-6 times.. after the tough mountain section, me and Suan waited for him at the end point and we were quite worried because he was nowhere to be seen from where we were.. we finally saw him appear at the top of the hill, and we were quite relieved.. but all of a sudden, he fell.. we were like.. OMG! are you ok? he signaled that he was alright, and continued down, and fell again.. hahaha.. i had lots of cuts and abrasions on his hands and knees..

the second segment, the forest, was much better.. no one fell.. we decided to let Colin lead, but we overtook him a few times.. haha.. i FINALLY managed to clear the damn berm by following Suan's line.. had to bail out on the north shore log part because i lost my momentum.. but landed safely on my legs.. haha!

went back to school after that, and discussed the proposal and got it done with.. only left with the pictures.. went opposite with Noel, YaWen, Dickson and Suan so they could have dinner.. after dinner, Suan suggested that since he was already in the east with his bike, why not go to ECP? so Suan followed me home and pumped up his tires with my compressor, while i did my own stuff, and then we cycled to Dickson's place at pasir ris to meet him.. we was like.. cross the flyover, and go straight.. and straight was a huge hill.. turns out, his 'go straight' was turn left, then go straight.. riiiight..

after a fun filled journey which included the superb tarmac of the siglap park connector, we reached kembangan MRT and our rendezvous point with Noel.. cycled down to ECP after that, and headed for the food center, where we had some more food and drinks.. we then cycled down to bedok jetty where we counted down to Noel's birthday.. saw lots of people fishing there as well.. haha!

the rest went back home while my mum fetched me back.. cycled a total of 40+ clicks according to my cyclocomp.. EPIC!

2008-08-14T12:07:00.002+08:00

nothing interesting to report.. didnt have school yesterday.. but still cycled down at 9 with the intention of meeting Dickson to discuss the ubin trip.. but he didnt arrive till 12+ -.-" late as usual.. should have expected it..

about half completed the proposal.. going to finish it with Suan and Dickson later today over dinner at simpang.. cycled my hardtail down today for Suan to use.. the 3 of us and others are going to head down to simpang after school for the long overdue chiwawa wraps and milkshakes..

now at CC waiting for pubspeaking to start..

2008-08-11T22:43:00.002+08:00

nothing much over the weekend.. worked on my bike frame.. sanded it down, sprayed the pre-coat primer, and the matte black coat on.. the bike looks so much better now.. also bought a dull finish clear coat to protect the paintwork, but it wont be on till i can get my vinyls on.. still sourcing for places to make them!!

been bowling quite alot lately.. got the feel back again.. haha! anyway, today, had our final lab test for ewebapps.. i didnt study one bit at all.. and i felt super guilty last night for not studying.. but luckily, it was open booked.. and lucky me, breezed through the test.. 80/100.. Wilson was super shocked lah.. haha! i was super elated..

asp and maths went pass like that, and i was home again..

2008-08-08T11:52:00.002+08:00

nothing much these few days.. went to school as usual.. shot abit of the iLive event outside lib.. the iTahan was damn cool.. the winner actually stood there for 1hr 14mins! OMG man.. so free.. haha! baby won 1st place in the sudoku challenge.. so she won a free movie ticket and $50 adidas voucher! haha

yesterday night, went to sin ming to buy a new bike frame for myself for 100 bucks together with a wheelset, seatpost and saddle.. but the frame was quite heavy and the 'custom paint job' was actually spray paint.. so im planning to sand it down and respray it myself.. thinking of matte black or white.. hope to get discs asap!

back to school

2008-08-05T23:57:00.002+08:00

it was back to school as usual on monday.. made it past the day, and met some VC members at mushroom, and then took a cab down to T1 to send Jojo off on his OSIP to Brisbane Australia.. reached there at about 6+, and hung around till more people came before going to popeye's for dinner.. first time eating there.. haha! so sua ku..

sent Jo into transit, but not before all the guys present gave him a huge hug.. the girls didnt want to.. haha! sent baby home, and then went back home myself..

today, went to school as usual, and did up my lost mobcomp project.. hung around CC, and went for maths.. failed my maths test as expected.. went back home after school, then to NSRCC.. bowled abit, and got another blister.. it burst halfway through my last game.. oh well!

tomorrows the submission for ASP.Net.. hope my partners done with the whole thing..

Hidden Street: Tampines

2008-08-04T00:23:00.003+08:00

i could not really decide upon a name for this series.. i was sitting on "Hidden Street: Tampines" or "The World After Humans".. the maplestory induced one sounded better

i never thought that such a place existed in tampines, let alone singapore.. this was truly how roads would look like after years of negligence.. nature over man.. a great place for model shoots

the entrance.. note that it is a regular tarmac road covered in dead leaves
the corner.. more dead leaves, and a metal rail
high-saturation: looking out into civilisation
my bike, after the corner
the road that ended.. the tarmac was just overrun by grass and creeper plants that it was impossible to continue without a machete to clear the path
ever wondered how it looked like to cycle my bike? haha

on a side note, i tried installing some programs today, and my computer just wouldnt let me run them.. no idea why, and i thought that it was because i was running on Windows XP Service Pack 1.. so i upgraded my whole system to SP3, and that didnt solve the problem.. in fact, it created new ones.. to quote Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear, "Babies come out of the womb faster than that"

2008-08-04T00:01:00.004+08:00

woke up at 11 today.. stayed at home for the whole morning and afternoon doing nothing, and wasting time.. i finally could not take it anymore, and grabbed my bike, and went cycling around the neighborhood for fun..

theres this place in tampines which i shall not disclose because me and Alfred dont want it so popular.. anyway, i thought that i'd go take a look at whats behind the fence, since it was already cut open by others.. what was behind the fence was a vision of what the roads would look like if humans were to just disappear.. the road was overrun by vegetation and fallen leaves, and it really inspired me to take a few shots of it.. so i went back home, and got out my camera, and cycled down again..

after shooting, went back home, and went to CSC for dinner at Samy's Curry, followed by bowling at NSRCC

2008-08-03T14:05:00.003+08:00

friday: woke up at 8, and met Jo and Suan at school at 9, and convoyed down to the tampines mountain biking trail.. went round the 10km offroad trail, and i fell once after taking a downhill to a left turn abit too fast, with loose gravel.. nothing serious, but scraped by knees and elbow abit.. need to get guards soon.. haha! went back home after that, and a guy whom i emailed regarding buying some stuff from smsed me, and drove to my place to pass them to me.. so i finally got my new stem and riser bar! WTB CXC Riser and 90mm stem..

had lunch with baby, and went to TM to catch the mummy.. a pretty good show! but slightly far fetched.. sent baby home, and then headed home.. went for dinner at hougang area, and then to my uncle's place to pass him something.. went home after that..

Saturday: woke up at 12, and cycled to NSRCC.. on the way there, saw a TP sports club jacket on the grass near to bedok reservoir, and picked it up.. haha! once at NSRCC, got my old shoes, and bowled abit for free at the demo day.. tried the new Ebonite NV-D, and Hammer's Raw Hammer and Black Widow Venom.. loved the Venom.. its even more reactive than my Black Widow Pearl.. the whole Black Widow series kicks ass!

went back home, and then left again to mountbatten to see my brother's performance.. brought along my camera and shot abit also.. plan to burn them, and give it to my alma mater as a gift.. haha! at about 8, Dickson rode down to the grass field behind my house, our usual meeting point, and we both cycled down to simpang bedok where Noel and Jojo were already waiting.. Jojo was the only one not cycling.. awww~ haha! ate 17.50 worth of food.. had sambal seafood fried rice, roti john special, and 2 milkshakes.. haha! super full, but managed to cycle home.. the casualty of the day goes to Noel.. it seems that everytime we go cycling, we are sure to have a casualty.. haha!

bad day

2008-07-31T23:36:00.003+08:00

woke up at 11, got to school at 12 for a quiz that we were to have during ewebapps lecture.. finished it, and went to CC to slack away.. prepared abit for my speech also.. Nick Chan came in and told us something funny.. remember that i had dinner with Dick and Jo yesterday at the round market, well Dickson randomly pointed to a black BMW convertible 3-series on the road and said: woah! look! well, Nick came in today and said to me and Dickson: you all saw me yesterday right? when i said no, he told us that Dickson pointed to his mum's car and we all looked over.. so he waved back.. only, we didnt notice! HAHAHA!!!

anyway, here comes the bad part of my day.. starting with public speaking.. i actually wore a black polo tee with jeans to school under the freaking hot weather for it.. i also lugged my bloody camera over for use during the speech.. but the result? i didnt even present at all.. so have to repeat my feat over again next week.. -.-"

if that wasnt bad enough, this is.. i went for asp.net discussion with my groupmate, and when we were done, i was just randomly looking through my virus ravaged thumbdrive, and found out that.......................

MY WHOLE FRIKIN MOBCOM WEBSITE WAS DELETED

i was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bloody pissed man.. the virus going around EN19-7 is really starting to get out of hand.. so now i'll have to restart my whole project again.. dammit..

2008-07-31T00:02:00.002+08:00

something that i took way back in 2005.. something that Noel and others replicated a few times.. haha

the BERM

2008-07-30T23:54:00.002+08:00

the huge wooden berm in the Tampines Mountain Biking Trail, Jungle section

2008-07-30T23:14:00.002+08:00

woke up at 8, asp.net at 9.. again, group member absent.. and i realised that i did the project wrongly.. so restarted it for the 3rd time, and completed loads of stuff today.. more or less, the project is left with the programming.. i actually sat in my seat, and did the damn thing for the whole 2 hours.. haha..

APEL today was quick.. just show mr Ng our portfolio, and we could leave.. when he turned to the page where i slot my CCA award, he was like.. good good! very good.. hahahahaha..

went back home after APEL, cooked lunch for myself, and then cycled down to school.. sent baby home, and took a cab back to school.. met with Suan, Dickson, Josias, and Marian.. Dickson and Jo cycled to school.. Dickson on his new 2k Santa Cruz.. had a spin on it and loved the lightness of it..

me, Dickson and Jo cycled down to the usual string of bike shops along street 11: Tay's, brother Tay's, and SCH.. i wanted to get new handle bars, wanted to get this at SCH:
but sadly, one of my shifter's bolt was rounded and could not be removed.. so no choice but to abandon it.. to get it fixed, i'd have to leave it over for at least a day.. not really keen on that, so decided to go for dinner instead..

the 3 of us feasted on lots of stuff at the nearby coffee shop before me and Dickson headed for sunplaza park, and Josias went on his way

2008-07-29T23:34:00.002+08:00

went to school for the most productive mobcomp lesson, where i single handedly finished the more than half of the project.. so im thinking of leaving the rest up to my 2 groupmates who have, so far, contributed nothing..

went down to CC for lunch and study abit of maths.. Suan came down and we discussed about the upcoming Ubin overnight trip for VC.. we went upstairs to discuss it with Terrence, and had a major overhaul on the whole idea.. time to sit down and discuss with my helpers Dickson and Suan..

had maths test today, and i dont think i did too good =( i think i got the second question right, but it seemed too simple.. and it was worth 8 of the 20 marks.. hope my first question is good enough for at least 2 marks..

sent baby home after maths, and headed home myself

2008-07-28T21:42:00.002+08:00

woke up at 1 on sunday.. had lunch at home, and slacked around doing nothing till 4-ish when i decided that i could not take it anymore and i had to give my bike a trashing round a trail.. so i headed down the the TBT (tampines bike trail) and had a go around the covered jungle portion about 3km long, and full of rocks and roots etc.. it was fantastic man! cannot wait to go the full round when i have the chance to.. had dinner at NSRCC's jumbo restaurant.. total bill was $107 =O

today, went for ewebapps in the morning and all the groups were made to present our websites up, and everyone got open-flame, bare-bottom, thousand-degree grilled by wilson.. at least thats the last i have to see of him.. went down to cc for lunch and to slack around.. played wahjong with Alfred and YaWen and won the most cash after a short visit from baby.. didnt win anything before she came.. haha! thanks baby~ =P

had my most productive asp.net lesson today, and then went for maths class before going to the sports hall to look for Dickson, Suan, Noel and Marian who were shooting the rugby.. TP won the champions! haha.. first time actually watching rugby and it was really exciting..

2008-07-27T00:38:00.002+08:00

woke up at 8 and met Dickson at tampines platform at 9.30.. took the MRT to bedok, and took a bus to chapter2cycle at AMK.. waited like an hour walking around the small shop waiting for Suan to arrive.. bumped into Jojo and his parents who were there to change brakes for his old bike..

arrive did Suan, and Dickson bought his pedals and a fork pump.. Suan ordered his new wheelset (S$1050) and we took a bus back to bedok inter.. da bao-ed lunch, then took 69 to school.. ate outside CC, then Dickson went to teach the photoshop workshop, while me, Suan and Noel took 8 to tay's.. asked about some stuff.. the Kona Stinky '08 costs S$2700 after discount from the aunty who knew me because i went there so often.. haha! there was also a really wicked looking Haro with the works that costs $2500.. i think its specs are better then the stinky, and its lighter too.. but i still love the egro and the colours of the stinky.. hahahaha! the stinky looks so much better in life then through a computer monitor..

after that, took another bus to SCH, where i recalled seeing the Velo8 speedo going for only $30 bucks.. C2C was selling it for $45, Tay's at $40.. so bought one, and then browsed through the 3rd bike shop in the day.. hahaha

went back to school to see the workshop ended.. so took a bus back while the rest went to Dickson's house to look at his new Santa Cruz Superlight, then report for their NEXT challenge..

recieved a call from Dickson in the night that the street directory that they brought was severely outdated (1984).. so asked if i could lend them mine.. so cycled down to school to pass it to them as i was about to do some errands for my dad..

2008-07-26T03:04:00.000+08:00

a new commercial that is shown on discovery channel recently.. i love the tune! haha..

8th month

2008-07-25T23:59:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 8th MONTH BABY~

went to school for wireless and public speaking, then went to e!hub to watch the dark knight with baby.. the show is really good man! loved it.. the characters are so well portrayed..

we then took a bus to tampines safra, and had dinner at sakura as a farewell to Josias who will be leaving for his OSIP at brisbane, australia on sunday.. ate lots and lots of stuff! left there at 10 feeling very full.. haha..

2008-07-24T23:01:00.002+08:00

past 3 days spent about the same.. school, cyber center slack, home.. didnt do anything much..

just started on my netinfra project today.. and finished it within 2 hours.. most probably full marks, plus 5 bonus for completing it within the time frame..

rushing for 3 other projects at the moment.. ewebapps is the most worrisome followed by mobcomp and asp.net.. i also have to complete a report for wireless tomorrow and start on my speech for public speaking (rehearsals tomorrow, haven even begun).. coupled together with recent events, i on a really short fuse.. i dont recall being so angry before

2008-07-21T23:48:00.002+08:00

woke up at 10.30 on sunday, and met Dickson near my house at 12.15.. cycled through the siglap park connector to kembangan MRT station where we rendezvoused with Noel.. we then shot to east coast park, where we met up with the freshies from toot-brush, then went to rent skates.. Alfred and Delia joined us, but wanted to wait for YaWen, Sharon and Clara.. so the rest of us took our time and went to the food center..

to lessen confusion,
Group 1 consists of: Me, Dickson, Noel, Suan, Jojo, Sarah, Wei Jun, Priscilla, and Javier
Group 2 consists of: YaWen, Sharon and Clara
Group 3 is Awas (Alfred and Delia) in their own little world

the freshies drank, while we ate.. the freshies, on skates, decided to go first as they were slower.. after Jojo and Suan joined us, the 5 of us cycled back, and it rained halfway.. before it got really heavy, we sought shelter, and waited about 10 mins for the rain to subside.. on the way back, we bumped into group 2.. once back, we stopped to decide what to do next.. Sarah decided to go home, while the rest decided to get bikes.. Group 2 went ahead and cycled while we discussed, and we cycled after them.. we passed each other without knowing, and turned around.. Noel got into abit of an accident, and my first aid kit came into its first field deployment..

met up with everyone, and the freshies went home.. Me, Dickson, Noel and Suan went off while the rest went for dinner.. Suan was headed to NSRCC, while the rest of us went back the way we came..

learned not to put 100plus into my reservoir today as it is super burp inducing.. H20 (the isotonic drink, not water) is loads better..

Today: woke up at 7 for e-freaking-webapps.. my teacher decided to bring forward the deadline to next week.. WTH!? omg man.. freaking hate him.. had lunch at mensa, then slacked at CC.. went for asp.net, and discovered, much to my horror, that i actually did the whole damn website in C# instead of VB.. so had to redo everything.. went opposite school for prata after school with Dickson and Jo, then to SCH to look around at the bike stuff.. thinking of a new frame..

2008-07-20T00:28:00.002+08:00

didnt have school yesterday.. so cycled down at 11.. lent YaWen my calculator, then went to CC.. pei baby for lunch, then just hung around.. went for a short project discussion at 1, then just stayed at cc till 6 for the camp debrief, which was pretty eventful.. waited for jo to finish reformatting baby's laptop to windows XP, then cycled all the way to her house to pass it to her before cycling back home

today, went to school at about 1.30, bumped into Suan, Jo, Dickson, Noel, and Marian at the bus stop, then went opposite school to da bao some stuff.. went back to school for the photoshop workshop, and left at 4 with Jo.. Jo went to walk around simlim, while i went to meet baby, then walked over to suntec for dinner.. ate the spicy ramen that i wanted that day, then walked around abit more before sending baby back home, and heading home myself

Nikkor 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye

2008-07-16T23:25:00.003+08:00

Tried out the Nikkor 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye lens.. I think the distortion is not that fantastic enough for me to consider it a full fledged fisheye lens.. the Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8 is still the way to go

Mounted on my D300

2008-07-16T22:00:00.002+08:00

woke up at 8, school at 9.. went for asp for a sure-pass quiz, then redid my whole website template as i accidentally deleted my old one.. went down to cyber for awhile, then off to apel.. wasted time there, then left for CC again..

only Dickson was there when i arrived, and then left again to look for Alfred and YaWen at mensa for lunch, then back to CC, and the darkroon for baby's model shoot for IIT school's mural.. went back down to CC to slack, then at about 4+, went up again for part 2 of the shoot.. slept there for about 1 hr during the shoot..

left at 5.30, and sent baby home before going home myself

2008-07-15T21:07:00.002+08:00

woke up at 9, got to school at 10 for mobcomp.. the usual long long talk before our lab, then we did our projects.. finished up 2 of the 3 databases, and linked them to the website via servlets ..

went down to cc to have lunch with Suan Dickson and YaWen.. then had abit of help regarding emaths2 from Noel, whom i really really want to thank because i breezed through the paper today.. should be able to pass! hahahaha.. went back to cc after the test, and then went opposite to prata paradise for dinner..

had the usual cheese chocolate prata, and an additional sup kambing with rice.. tried their black spider, and i dont think i'll have that in awhile.. haha

2008-07-15T00:21:00.002+08:00

woke up at 7, went to school at 8 for another torturous session of ewebapps.. im really starting to hate the tutor.. he likes threatening people.. someone would be late, and he would ask for a reason.. before the person can reply, he would shout at him/her: 'I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!'.. moron..

moving on, stayed back after class, and completed the template for the web page.. went to cc to rush Noel to get the proposal done.. haha! and then went for lunch before going for the makeup lesson of wireless.. we were using some old nokia handphones for the lab and we were all playing with the oldie ringtones.. haha!

went for ASP after that, and got the masterpage up also.. used some of my own pics for the template.. totally love the template! haha.. i'd post pics of it, but my thumbdrive got infected by the damn computer and i dont want to plug it into my PC.. i'll have to reformat it with my mac first..

maths was canceled today.. so went back to cc and waited for dad to come pick me and my injured bike up.. went to Tay's with the intention of getting the $90 wheelset from the brother shop, but we bumped into Tay himself when i was taking out my frame and wheels from the car.. i think he remembers the bike and promptly picked it up after learning what happened from my dad, and took it to his shop.. he took a bike from the rack, and told the mech to take the wheelset out and put it on my bike.. total cost was $150.. should have gone to the brother shop.. he says that the wheelset is a notch better than my ex wheelset..

cycled home and felt the bike ride like never before.. everything was so precise and smooth.. totally love it and cannot wait to take it on a trail.. haha! had dinner at home and then studied maths~~~

2008-07-13T22:23:00.002+08:00

woke up at 12.30 today! hung around the house doing nothing till about 2 when my mum came back with lunch.. then just spent my time at home.. felt pissed of for the good part of the day because of my wheelset.. brooding over how much i've spent on the damn thing..

75 bucks for the marzocchi fork
70 bucks for the maxxis Larson TTs
36 bucks for the lights (both of which mounts broke in the crash)

and now i'll have to fork out a minimum of 90 bucks for the cheapest wheelset.. so that got me thinking.. why not just get a whole new bike? i know i want a full suspension system.. but that would set me back at least 2k for a decent one.. but will this be a worthwhile investment? will i keep up this interest?

anyway, moving on, went for dinner at a fine dining restaurant at bukit timah called riders cafe.. had their grilled chilean codfish for $28.. dad had their rack of lamb ($32) and bro had their ribeye ($28).. coupled my main dish with a vanilla milkshake and a 'death-by-chocolate cake'.. the food was great, but it took ages to arrive.. they served us bread sticks 3 times during our wait.. haha.. at least it was free..

went to giant to walk around before heading home

overnight stay

2008-07-12T23:28:00.002+08:00

went to school on the hardtail on friday morning and dumped everything at CC before going to class.. after class, went to catch hellboy 2 with baby at GV.. the movie was quite good.. i would recommend that you watch it.. haha..

went to meet Suan, Josias and KaiXin at waterloo where Jo got his helmet, tires and pads.. i then sent baby home, then went back to school to get my bike, then to Tay's to meet my dad.. got myself lights for the back and front of my bike, and new tires (Maxxis Larson TTs).. then went back to meet Suan, Josias and Geraldine.. after meeting them, went back to the bike shop to change the tire on the hardtail as the tire wall burst..

went back to school, then out again at about 11+ to go to simpang bedok.. a 5 bike convoy consisting of me, the leader, followed by Dickson, SuanYang, YaWen, and finally Josias, the sweeper.. my new front light is super bright.. and my tires are so damn smooth to use.. love them.. on the way back from supper, YaWen took a tumble from a method i told her time and time again to avoid.. haha

went to bathe at design school (amazon) with Suan and Jojo before sleeping.. woke up at 9-ish and then cycled to waterloo at 10.. reached at about 12.30, then went for desert at ice monster.. went to mum's shop for awhile also.. decided to go back through ECP and went for lunch at the food court..

on the way back, Dickson, who took Suan's bike out and complained about it so much that i consented to switch bike with him, got hit from behind by some foreign lady, causing my bike to fall to the ground with the lady and her steel bike on top of it.. Dickson got minor cuts and bruises, the idiot lady and her bloody steel bike was fine, but my rim was warped beyond repair.. so Dickson had to take a cab back to school while me and Jo cycled back..

after packing up everything and leaving school, me, Dickson and Jo went to Tay's to check the price of a new set of hubs, spokes, and rims.. the cheapest we could find was 90 bucks.. dammit..

busy busy busy

2008-07-10T11:59:00.002+08:00

been quite busy lately.. so havent been blogging.. actually.. who am i kidding.. im just plain lazy arent i? LOL!

spent a normal day at school on tuesday.. sent baby home after school.. wednesday, i ended at 11, and waited at cyber till about 4+ when Suan Yang finally came in and passed me my new fork! so went straight to Tay's to get it fixed on.. the main shop actually wanted to charge me 40 bucks because i was on V-brakes and not discs.. so i tried the sub branch (the low scale one) and they charged 20.. so got it fixed there, but found out that the fork is abit too long.. so an additional 5 bucks for a spacer solved it..

cycled back and then went for dinner with Dickson and Josias at prata paradise.. met Suan for awhile so that he could inspect my bike, then went off to tamp safra to see them bowl.. cycled home after that..

typing from cyber center during my break! haha..

VC Day Camp pics

2008-07-08T00:57:00.002+08:00

During the camp, we had to dress up YaWen using recycled stuff, then do a model shoot.. here are the pics i took.. she's Gaia, the mother of the earth

The total strength of the camp

my group, TootBrush! we are the champions, my friend~

2008-07-08T00:51:00.002+08:00

sunday: got up at 12 and went to PS to change my reservoir.. actually the salesperson didnt let me change it.. but due to my mum's constant nagging, he gave in and changed a new one for me.. went to parkway to get my bro's eyes checked and did some shopping before going home.. bought a new pair of Vans and a helmet..

today: woke up at 7.. and was on the way to school when i decided that i couldnt go due to diarrhea.. so went back home and rest before going to school again to see if i could attend any lessons.. but didnt in the end and went to the doctors after school with my dad and bro.. during school, we tried out Josias's new bike which he bought yesterday.. improved on my track-stand slightly also..

went to have dinner at the round market after the doctors.. i actually wanted to drag my dad to look at the forks at Tay's, but they were already closed due to the long wait that we had to endure at the doctors.. which brings me to another point.. there was this book of puzzles and such.. why do idiots have to use pens to circle out all the answers to the puzzles?! have these people no life and are trying to make the others wait in the waiting room even more boring than it already is?

Technology sucks

2008-07-08T00:50:00.000+08:00

i had to print out a single page document just now.. and it took me 2 hours, 3 computers, and 2 printers to do it.. computers were invented to solve problems.. but more than half the time, they are the problem..

2008-07-06T00:16:00.002+08:00

went to school on friday normally and presented for wireless.. after presentation, went home to cycle my bike to school.. just hung around for the rest of the day and slept for awhile at the darkroom..

at about 7, we all went to tay cycle to look at the bikes there, then followed by dinner at the new Aston's outlet (Astons Express) at the round market coffee shop.. it was a first time eating at Astons for many, and i'm glad to say that they were not disappointed! hahaha.. caught Hancock after that till 1+.. the movie was reasonably good, but we were sitting so far in front that i was dizzy by the time it ended..

woke up at 8 today and had a briefing for the day camp before we got into our groups and all the freshies started coming in.. i was with Janis in group 1.. and our 8 freshies named ourselves 'TootBrush'.. had lots of fun and some slight miscommunication along the way.. the photo-hunt was probably the most fun of all.. we found all but 6 locations, and to top it off, my group was so 'on' that we ran all the way back to the lounge to be the 1st team there and win 10 extra points!

so in the end, i'm really really glad to say that TootBrush WON FIRST PRIZE!! super glad and proud of them! you guys rock!

after packing up everything, we took a bus to simpang bedok for a farewell dinner to our fellow members going for their SIP.. wanted to eat at Spize, but the wait was 1hr.. so had dinner at the sub-par stores next to it before going home

2008-07-04T00:53:00.002+08:00

didnt do much for the whole week.. just went to school, and then went home.. went for my 2nd bowling roll off on wed.. bowled with the likes of Theodor and Marc Wee.. didnt bowl up to my expectations again =(

today, went to school and just lazed around.. had a presentation for public speaking and then went to do project with classmates before going home..

nothing interesting is happening to me! tomorrow we're going to stay over at CC followed by the VC camp on the following day.. guess thats something to look forward to =/

Suan after falling from the titter totter
the open wound

the blood stained stone

2008-07-01T12:01:00.003+08:00

i realised that i totally forgot to blog for the past few days.. hahaha.. so here goes:

on saturday, went to school at 10 for a meeting with the main comm.. it was by far the most productive meeting (IMO).. after that, i helped with the last session of the BPW.. 36 people turned up..

after the BPW, i went home and packed everything for the next day's cycle to ubin.. slept at about 1+ and woke up at 5+.. prepared, and then cycled alone to changi village.. i was expecting an hour of travel time there, but it only took half of that.. so i was super early and had to wait for the rest to arrive.. we had breakfast there, then cycled to the jetty to take the boat across to ubin.. after we got off and Alvin got his bike, we cycled to ketam quarry where there was a bike trail..

Suan Yang tried to clear a titter totter on Dickson's encouragement, and fell off it pretty bad.. he cut himself quite deep and there was lots of blood.. so we helped him wash the wound, remove the small stones that were lodged in there, and used 2 packets of tissue to stem the bleeding.. meanwhile, me and Alvin went to look for help and bumped into some aussies who gave us a pressure bandage which we used to hold the tissues in place over the wound..

we cycled back to the jetty where we looked for the coast guard for first aid.. after that, we didnt really do anything exciting except to go up and down a downhill course 3 times.. it was super fun man.. cannot wait to do it again.. had lunch at a seafood restaurant before going back home..

stayed at home for dinner that day.. i shall blog more about today tonight (i guess) as i'm now outside cyber center waiting for Dominic to come back from his lunch

2008-06-27T23:37:00.002+08:00

yesterday: went to school and passed my netinfra.. 22/30! didnt have a score like that since sem 1.1.. missed the days of comprog.. haha! went to school in formal for the speech during public speaking..

during the speech, i was super nervous.. and i totally screwed it up =( lots of nervous breaks and stutters.. and to cap it all, i finished it short and not within the full mark time frame =( to relieve myself, went to shoot the rockamania opening with YaWen, Alexiel, and 2 freshies, whom names i've ceased to recall.. got lots of good shots.. i guess i kinda miss events (camps do NOT count as events)..

went to TM to buy tickets to Get Smart for today before taking cab back home..

Today: woke up at 8 and went for 1 and a half hours of wireless tech which i passed.. after that, went to cyber and slacked around doing nothing.. left for TM at around 3 and walked around till 4.40 before going to watch the movie.. the movie was quite good and really funny.. 4/5 popcorns as compared to 3.5 for Zohan.. next movie will probably be Hancock with baby..

sent baby home via cab after the movie, then took bus to plaza singapura to buy my camelbak.. i was looking for small sports bagpacks which i will then buy a reservoir to put in, but it turns out, most small backpacks didnt have the hole from which the reservior tube comes out from.. i went in with a budget of S$70 and ended up spending $167 on a Camelbak TrailBlazer with a 2 liter reservoir.. it was ment for hiking, but those that were for biking were too oddly shaped for me.. haha!

took an MRT home after that

7th month

2008-06-26T01:03:00.004+08:00

Happy 7th Month baby~

woke up today at 8 and got to school at 9.. ASP was okay.. finished up and submitted the concept design.. today's APEL was with our new CP.. he's okay now that we got to know him better.. but not as cool as our old CP..

went back to cyber and had a stock check of the darkroom with Delia, followed by me emailing ruby photo for a quote on all the stuff that we needed.. spent most of my time at cyber doing nothing much..

went up to the darkroom to develop my black and white film from my vivitar.. most of the pictures were underexposed =( found out that Alfred and Delia's anniversary is also on the 25th (today).. LOL! happy annivarsary you two =D

went back home after school and grabbed my bowling equipment and then went for the bowling rolloff.. bowled lousily today.. only a 152 average.. no surprises as i havent bowled for nearly a month.. oh well..

on the way home, i accidentally stepped onto a group of red ants.. i didnt realise it untill i got bitten on my shin area.. by then it was too late and had ants all over.. got bitten on my leg twice, my back once, my stomach once, my foot once, and the back of my neck once.. damn ants..

2008-06-25T00:03:00.004+08:00

first day of school yesterday.. bleargh.. ewebapps was totally boring.. begining to hate my letcurer.. very stuck up and haughty.. idiot.. had lunch with Josias, Delia and Alfred at mensa.. spent only 4 bucks! haha.. super happy.. save save save~

went back for classes and then back to cyber before going home for dinner

today, mobcomp was fine.. began on SQL.. so thats another programming language to add to my list.. LOL! went for lunch with Suan, LiuYing and Noel.. had Dory and a bottle of pepsi.. so thats 6 bucks spent today.. a total of $10 in 2 days! must be some kind of record for poly life! LOL! stayed at cyber doing nothing much.. went to the darkroom to help Sharon with her product shoot for awhile..

Dickson and Alvin were convinced by me to eat a huge wedge of cheese which Sharon bought from the supermarket for her shoot.. LOL!

OH YEAH! Person Y's reputation was totally destroyed today.. i was using cyber's laptop today when suddenly person X, someone i know, talked to person Y via his/her logged in MSN.. since i know person X, i replyed with a hihi.. but before i could tell X that i was using Y's account, he typed this: "I'm feeling sexy right now".. stunned, i called for those around me to see what just happened.. hilarity ensued when we continued the conversation.. the peak was when X asked Y: "are you wet"? LOL!

went back straight after emaths to finish up my ASP diagram

HAPPY 7th MONTH BABY GER~

2008-06-22T23:26:00.002+08:00

woke up at 11.30 today.. didnt feel like going for bowling training.. so went for lunch with family at joo chiat, and then went to the driving range with my mum.. brought my camera along and caught shots of her.. had a light snack at the deck and then went home..

didnt do much at home.. watched Kung Fu Panda on my computer and found it to be so-so only.. Jack Black is funnier in person.. haha..

had home cooked mee siam for dinner and just slacked around till now

2008-06-22T00:51:00.002+08:00

went to collect my slides yesterday.. total cost for mine and baby's was $41 something.. da bao-ed wanton noodles, then took 23 to school with a backpack full of overnight gear, and a sleeping bag..

helped out with the BPW and got to try the new 18-55mm VR Nikkor (a freshie had a D60).. its slightly heavier than my standard 18-55mm.. not to mention $100 more.. haha.. anyway, after the BPW, me, Sharon and YaWen went to shoot the LTC (leadership training camp).. it was PH's idea as he wanted us to pick up some stuff from it.. i went with my dream setup: a Nikon D300, MB-D10, Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G, and a SB-800 speedlight.. droolz~

the event was quite interesting.. Dickson had a segment to himself where he showed his photos from his OCP trip.. the shots were really beautifully taken and looked extremely professional.. oh well.. must be the 24-70mm f/2.8.. after the OCP talk, they all went into seperate groups according to their position.. so me and Sharon followed the secretary and vice-president group to their tutorial room..

after the whole event, the 3 of us and PH went opposite school to get some provisions to last throughout the night.. we had a small picnic at CC before going for a bath.. i had to bathe all alone in the guy's toilet, with the lights half off.. super creepy.. haha! slept at about 2.40 and woke up at about 7.40.. had breakfast and then went home.. after reaching home, slept some more, and then went to meet baby at bugis..

we then took a bus to the cathay to meet her brother and his gf to watch 'Zohan'.. a very funny movie, but i wouldent say it was worth watching in the cinema.. went for dinner at waraku at ECP where we saw a Rolls Royce Phantom parked outside.. sent baby home, then took probably the last bus home

2008-06-20T00:46:00.004+08:00

woke up at 11.40 today, and had the biggest shock of my life thus far.. i was sleeping on my right side, and when i turned over, i couldent feel my right arm at all.. i tried moving my fingers and elbow, but it wouldent move at all.. totally freaked out, i picked the useless arm up with my left hand, and let it go, thinking that i could hold it up on my own, but it just flopped down uselessly.. i laid there thinking: "shit.. im screwed".. when blood went rushing back to the arm.. after 5 mins, i could move it again.. LOL! i was on pins and needles for the next 30 mins.. haha!

anyway, after the drama, had lunch, and received a call from Sharon who told me that i was supposed to teach the BPW today.. totally unprepared, i went to school, and did it impromptu.. turned out all right in the end.. after BPW, sent baby home, then went home..

lots of things on my mind right now.. did things without knowing why i did them today.. haha..

back from thailand

2008-06-16T22:57:00.002+08:00

im finally back from the land of tom-yum, great pineapples, and gender confused queers.. the trip was pretty fruitful.. bought lots of stuff, and shot lots of shots..

first day: woke up at 4, and flew off.. got there at about 9, and went straight to the hotel.. as our first day was free and easy, we went for steamboat near MBK before heading there to shop.. bought lots and lots of stuff.. found out that MBK has lots and lots of photography shops.. and ALL of them has the Nikon Trinity on display.. the building very nearly had to be cordoned off on account of all the drool flooding the whole of the first floor, and was about halfway up the 2nd..

second day, went down the river thingy and stoped at the coolestly named temple that does not come out of an indiana jones movie: the temple of dawn.. continued down river, and passed the floating market before going back to the bus, and then to dreamworld.. didnt play much, but got really wet on the grand canyon ride.. took a 2 hour bus ride to Pattaya after that and had dinner before going to the hotel.. we went out again to explore the nightlife, and it was really happening.. lots of hookers around.. LOL!

3rd day, still in pattaya, we went to coral island, which was supposed to be the highlight of the whole trip, but was kinda ruined because of the slight drizzle, and it being saturday.. the crowd was OMG man.. took a speedboat to the parasailing barge and went for a round before going to coral island.. played everything they had (jetskis, banana boat and water sking) but the underwater explorer thing which i went the last time i was there.. after going back to the hotel for a bath, we went to some rich guy's hill.. he had a display of cars which included like 2 ford GTs, no less than 5 ford Mustangs of different models, a couple of italian supercars, and 2 hummers.. he also had a mini zoo with lots of animals.. watched the thai cultural show and the elephant show before leaving for dinner, and then back to the hotel for more night time romps..

4th day, went to the usual stop at the jewlery factory, and then went to the tiger farm for more shows (crocodile, tiger and pig) before driving down to bangkok again.. went to the 4-faced buddah to pray, and for my case, shoot and shoot and shoot.. we then went back to the hotel for a free and easy session at MBK again before having dinner opposite the hotel.. took a cab after that to the upscale part of town to look around before turning in..

today, went straight to the airport and flew off.. reached at about 2.30, and baby was at the airport to meet me! super happy!! finally got to meet her after 1 and a half weeks.. she got me gifts from the land of weird accents, strong currencies, baguettes and art.. took a cab home after that, and slacked at home and had dinner at home also

2008-06-12T05:44:00.003+08:00

wanted to go to pasir ris park after that, but decided not to because it was too late.. we were passing by a forest like thing on the way back to school on 23.. so we got off, and bashed through for abit of macro.. there werent many insects there, but it was really creepy with lots of foreign noise..

exams

2008-06-04T01:22:00.002+08:00

woke up at 8 yesterday, and 11 today.. both days were equally boring.. had exams, and then studied.. netinfra was super easy, emaths and wireless tech was hard as hell..

met Jyuan at engine 2 at about 8 yesterday to study..

after the paper today, went to cyber to chill and slack till about 6.30.. we were so bored that we (Me, Noel, Dickson and Sarah) actually played dai di to pass time.. went for dinner at samy's curry before going to NSRCC to bowl a couple..

break tomorrow, then 2 more papers (ewebapps and mobcom) to go on thursday and friday

didnt blog yesterday as i was super tired.. haha.. studied for the most of today and yesterday.. was supposed to meet Jyuan to study at white sands, but he put my aeroplane.. so went to bowl with BowlTango instead..

today, woke up at 1.30, and studied.. watched Juno (finally) for a break.. i totally loved the show.. its one of those inspirational shows that actually got me going for it.. i really liked the story plot and how they hid the inspiration behind all the jokes and dirty humor

after Juno, rested abit, then went to whitesands to meet Jyuan to study.. somehow, i learn more with him in that noisy environment rather than by myself at home, with full peace and serenity.. haha! had mcspicy meal (upsized) for dinner, and then 3 apple pies, and a green tea mcflurry (dont buy it) left about 10.30
