Just came across this.."what the hell?! " video. Its named decision, sent by my sister. I think you guys should...take a look? Hahaz..very lame. The loading will take quite awhile. You can just click on the play button if you don't wanna wait for it to load finish first.

Post Monday blue syndrome

Hey heyy~~! Today, I discovered I got $65 as reward for giving creative, useful suggestions on improvement of my camp. But..half of the money will be given to our unit funding -_-||. Well, $30 is better than nothing. I am 1 step closer to my 250GB HDD. Hahahaz..so from today onward, when I got nothing to do, I will think of improvement of my camp! Hahahaz...I will be rich soon! Hahaz..

So yesterday, the Discovery Centre trip. Well..Discovery Centre sure changed alot. The only thing I remember that still remain since my secondary school visit, except for the food court, its the shooting range. Everything else, seems..different. Totally no impression of them. Or maybe..1 more thing looks the same, the entrance looks the same? So, in there, we watched a video on Vikings, have a short tour & tried some..they call it, innovative games? Well, its always fun to do stupid things. Enjoyed the trip. Won't have much chances to go such places, do such things you know. Especially this kind of group trips. After the tour, we had a small birthday celebration for Augest babies. Finally this time, its chocolate cake! Previous 2 birthday celebrations were all...black forest cake! Yikes~!! The..blue berry, black berry...whatever berry it is. The cream just spoiled the taste of the cake. So, back to the celebration...after the cake, took some photos, then home we went. Sure is a long trip home..Boon Lay to Simei. *yawn*

Today..today is Tuesday. Post Monday blue syndrome. So..low productivity. Hahaz...waiting for 1700 hour~! Gonna go home soon to meet Belldandy. =X

Here's a pic of the orgin of Belldandy..

In Camp V

Today, my unit is having this event, so I was told to leave camp by 1100 hr and head for..Singapore Discovery Centre! Hahaz..how long hasn't I been there? How long has this name even...comes into my mind? I think last heard of this name is during secondary school time. Hahaz..excursions! Hahaz..at then, we think it was lame, it was boring, it was a waste of time, but well, think about it, I miss it now...although I still think its lame, boring..hahaz. So now, 1 more hour and off I go.

So recently, made a frozencat's R&B compilation Aug 2006. Just 20 latest R&B songs for him. His R&Bs are..antiques! Hahahaz..so, the weekend, I have been playing Atelier Iris for the whole weekend. I am gonna complete it soon~!!

Yesterday, yesterday was XY's birthday~!! Happy birthday stupid XY~! Study hard eh..!

The five working days theory

So today, its Thursday again~! Um..actually, 1 week, 7 days, 5 working days, how are we gonna work? You see, for Monday, the day before is Sunday, weekend just ended, Monday's blue, its understandable we are sluggish. Tuesday, the day before is Monday, the Monday's blue day, we have low productivity on Tuesday, post Monday's blue syndrome, its also normal. So Wednesday, its the middle of our 5 working days! We are ought to have a rest after 2 days of hard work and having 2 more long days to go isn't it? For Thursday, the day after it is Friday! Its Friday's eve, where Friday is weekend's eve! Which of course, Friday the weekend's eve, maybe even the boss do not have the mood to work. So on Thursday, the Friday's eve, we slack a little and prepare for the weekend's eve right? Lastly, Friday, I guess I don't need to elaborate, most offices can dress casual, no mood to work, etc. Also, we must get ourselves prepared for the weekend mood for party. So tell me, how are we gonna work?? So again, today is Thursday, I must slack a little, get myself prepare for the weekend's eve right..

Back to Starhub issue. So, I lodged a complain, like I mentioned in the previous entry. Yesterday, they called up and promised they will monitor my connection for a few days, do what they can & contact me again. So, I am supposed to believe them. Hahaz..would they even bother at all actually? I doubt so..guess, they just called for show. Um...but, still ok, I was able to transfer some stuff to Tiny in the later night.

Now, completed Hack Vol. 1 last week or so & start this new awesome game Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana. Its a nice game with the feel of classical RPG from SNES. Um..but guess no point saying much. Don't think any of you who read my entries, even play PS 2 at all. Well, here a picture of the characters.

Starhub Max-Online should die!

So last night, for those who know, I am unable to upload any files online. Initially, I thought its some problem with MSN Messenger or Rayne. So I installed the latest MSN Messenger, offed my firewall, renewed IP address, restarted modem & PC, but nothing helps. Its totally useless. Others can send me files with proper speed, I can accept perfectly fine, but when I am the one sending, my sending speed is like...3KB/sec? Most of the time, it idle & timed out. So, I concluded, its the network connection & decided to call up Starhub. On the phone, starhub help desk personnel asked me to do some DOWNLOADING speed test, which I told her is UPLOADING speed problem. Doesn't matter...I followed her instruction & even the downloading speed test results, its below what its supposed to be. Then, she reset my connection & asked me to send a more detailed email to them, their technicians will look into it. So I did. Guess what? Now, they just replied me an email, asking me to do some stuff for them, to isolate the problem. Very easy...TWELVE technical things to do only. What in the god's name is that?! What if I am an computer idiot?!

Its like I already told them I restarted modem & PC, offed Firewall, renewed IP, they are still asking me to do again?! I told them the problem lies with uploading files to friends via MSN Messenger, they still saying, "Site having latency". Its UPLOADING!! My god! Did they even read my email or just send this whenever there's a problem?! Starhub Max-Online department should die~! Anyway, I fell asleep & woke up at 0300 hr. Suddenly everything works fine. Guess a sleep cures everything. Umm..I think, perhaps I should change to Singtel Broad Band. Its way faster..

Ok..enough of complaining. Umm...so I was so stunted yesterday. Xiao Pang got a BF?! Thats not stunting..what stunted me was, her BF is?! Oh my god! My god, my god, my god~!! Hahahaz..amazed. Well, doesn't matter, as long as she's happy, that's good enough. Last night, chatted with Ali awhile, Xiao Pang should read this. The conversation was something like that..
--------------------MSN------------------------
Wei Li : Hey Ali..
Ali : ya?
Wei Li : Recently this 2 days, do you have a "Oh my god! ", stunted feeling?
Ali : hahaha..ya
Ali : I know what you are talking about.
--------------------MSN------------------------

Saturday, went for soccer & bought a new Nike boots~!! WHoaa..nice red white colour with great design. Wei Li simply have good taste. But, it costed me about 80 bucks! Aww man..Wei Li is poor again. Bought a shaver & soccer boots, its like 1/3 of my NS allowance! I still need to save up for next month. *DeaD CaT*

To all Hard Gay fans, according to a reliable source, Cini-leisure 2nd floor is selling his toy!

Lastly, today is Amanda's birthday! Happy birthday! I guess you won't see this anyway..

In Camp IV

Meet up with 损友, Fillet & Cindy that day for a movie. We went to Suntec & watched Click. So Click, well its a nice show. Generally, quite funny. Its about this guy, having this, magical remote control that can control everything, including time itself. He fast-forwarded his life too much & screwed up everything. So this show, it just shows me, do we need to go through pain, to know cherish, to know how good is our lives & whats important? We need a 2nd chance to do things right? Well..guess no matter how much anyone wish for, there wouldn't be a 2nd chance in life. Just one thing about this show, since its a remote control, he can fast-forward, why can't he rewind?

Saturday, I completed Hack Vol 1 in the morning. Well..its kinda...lousy. Guess I wouldn't be playing Hack Vol 2 to 4. Hahaz..went for a lunch with my family in the noon, then soccer time~! After soccer, rushed home, took a shower & headed to Esplande. The traffic was...whoa..jammed like mad? We managed to reach there at about, 1900 hr? But there was no carpark lot anywhere near Esplande? In the end, I had to park at Market Street Carpark & walk all the way to Esplande to meet 损友 & Fillet. Whats worse? We are to SQUEEZE our way through to the center where they are! I seriously say, its..whoa...impossible. I can barely move in the crowd! Its worse then clubbing, might be worse then Christmas eve & New Year's eve. In the end, we ended up watching the firework, in the middle of the road, the bridge between Fullerton Hotel & Fullerton One, without meeting them. Hahaz..a very nice & not warm view from there. After the firework, meet up with them & headed to carpark. Meanwhile, had a short discussion & decided to go Bedok 85 for some food. Didn't get to eat anything since 1300 hr. So finally, can get some air-con in the car! Guess what, the traffic was jammed again! Our car was stuck in the carpark for like...30 minutes?! Its totally uncool~! Reached 85 pretty late, had our dinner & headed home.

Lastly, the frozencat's ultimate R&B Vol. 1 (Aug 06) is out! Hahahaz..

National Day...again.

So its National Day again! I remember I had a same entry last yr. Last year's National Day, went out with Xiao Pang, Ali & 3rd class. Think there was some car carnival, some SAF carnival. We went to Suntec, to Marina South, all the carnivals. It was total nonsense last year. Hahaz..

So this year, its more nonsense. The cast of National Day 2006, starring Angel Tan Xiao Pang, Hui Wen aka Ali, Rena the Tiny, Lim Wei Yang that 损友, Phylaine Fillet, Cindy & me. On that Day, Xiao Pang & Ali went sun tanning at Sentosa in the mornin till late noon. Well..it was raining yet they insisted, its sunny at Sentosa. Hahaz..guess they enjoyed cloud tanning. I met Tiny at about 4, went for a coffee at TM Starbucks while waiting for the others to arrive. So, Tiny Tiny have a BF eh. Hahaz..have BF then all of us eat grass. No meet us, no contact us! Hahaz..next, Cindy arrived, followed by 损友 & Yang, then Xiao Pang & Ali. We stayed at Starbucks, discussing our plans for the eve & saw Sharon! Hasn't seen her for ages. What a blind dumb girl..didnt even see us till we approached her. Hahaz...after a short discussion, we decided to go town to have some, porriage, then fireworks. I followed 损友's car as I ain't too familar with the roads. 损友...he drove like his dad owned the road! No law! Doesnt matter, so that porriage..place, its supposed to be very famous & nice, but..its totally, nothing special at all~!! Aww man..travelled so far, no nice food. What's worse? After our porriage, we received calls saying that, the firework has ended!! Ohh my god! We went there for nothing! Like..we planned so much! Hahahaz..this is totally nonsense! So, we went to top up fuel, then decided to go to Seletar Dam..or whatever you guys wanna cal it. We some how speeded all the way to the dam. Nice view there, but nothing to do. Xiao Pang, Ali, Cindy & me just sit around, took some pictures, talk & lame around, thats about it. While Fillet, she was taking pictures of cars passing by & 损友 keeps on routing in the same course for about 20 to 30 times, just to let her take picture of the car. -_-|| But...Fillet really looks like a traffic police with the camera & camera stand at the side of the road. Hahaz..after much of slacking around, home we went.

In Camp III

So its another boring Monday! Aww...but, its ok. Wednesday is coming! Its National Day!! But, who actually cares about it? Its a public holiday thats important! Hahaz..so the meeting eh, Xiao Pang, Ali, Tiny, Cindy & me is on. I wonder that stupid XY is going? Fine...I just received her sms upon typing this. She is not going! Stupid XY~!! Well, she made a promise that she will meet us..next year? -_-|| How SWEET of her isn't it?

Well now, recently heard a couple of my buddies have GF eh? Firstly, Andrew that gay, can't believe that gay got himself a girl during his BMT?! In the middle like 7th ~ 8th week of BMT? Hahahaz..got GF don't tell right? Don't call me brother anymore Andrew~! Hahaz..
Next, our Fei Zhen, Zhen Hao~! Have a GF, didnt tell any of us eh? In the end, its my precious informant who told me this! Hahahaz..then got yourself a GF, no more soccer?! Missed soccer for weeks~!! You are another JM! Zhen Hao the JM II. If Zhen Hao, you are reading this, which I doubt you ever would, I can say Olsen, WH & Darren ask you to go & die better. Hahaz..

Saturday night, watched Tokyo Drift. Umm..its quite a nice show, can't deny a hell lot of it is done by computer graphics, but still, its nice. Who cares if they really can drift? We also wouldn't know. Just watch & enjoy the ride! Upon watching the show, I really feel like going Tokyo to take a look man. Not to see race car drift or what. Its to take a look at their city, their clubs. Its so nice, all the lightings & stuff, its awesome. Their shopping centres, unlike Singapore's Taka, Suntec all these, so..normal? Maybe is me getting used to Singapore's. Their clubs, have Japanese R&B! Hahahaz..maybe will have Ayumi's mm zi mm zi.

So now, I am so bored in camp, waiting for 1700 hr to come. Still got 1½ hr more to go. *yawn* Came across some blog URLs today, contributed by Ah My. Guess will put up the link the next posting..?

In Camp II

Ohh well..another day in camp, bored + bored x bored. Lets see, recently, been to Quek's "farewell for 6 months" BBQ. Enjoyed myself there. At her place, saw this massage chair. All along, I don't really enjoy massage & stuff, but come to think of it, well, its not too bad eh. Somehow, its quite nice. After her BBQ, all of us went to Cini-leisure to have a 3 hours of DotA. It cost me $10.50 for that? Its like $3.50 an hour. Normal LAN shop is about $2/hr. Some more, I can always play at home. It cost much lesser. Hahaz..after 3 hours of fierce battle, I must say Alfred & Wen Hao is good, we left that costly place for home. Took a quick shower, met Belldandy for awhile, bed I went.

So recently, I watched Pirates of the Caribbean, Nacho Libre & Dragon Tiger Gate. Pirates of the Caribbean, well, missed the starting alittle due to sending Mint home. Hahaz..the show is quite entertaining, but...the draw back is its ending. When all of us is wondering how, what's gonna happen next, the freaking show ended. Its like..so "what the" that kinda feeling.
Next is Nacho Libre. Watched it with William, Olsen, JS, Darren, Han Long & his girl Eileen. Well..the show, its totally, rubbish show. Hahaz..well, from the trailers, ads & title of the show, cant expect too much from it. If for laughter, I would say, Waiting is a way better show.
Lastly, Dragon Tiger Gate, starring Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse & Shawn Yue. The show is quite exaggerating, but well, its a comic action movie. If they fight like you & me, I think it will be real god damit boring. Overall, its quite a nice show. Worth a watch.
Next movies that I am gonna watch is of course, Click, Lake House & Tokyo Drift. That all about movies for now.

Recent weeks, have been meeting up with Wei Yang that 损友 & Darren to C&C Generals at Tampines Mart. But, there's alway weird happenings when 3 of us meet up. With 损友 around, all of us commited sins. He eat prata forgot to pay, ordered a drink refused to wait & left, even more, we were happily chatting in his vehicle, a police van stopped beside us, CID alighted & checked our ICs? Come mon man, police van with CIDs? How often do any of us see that? He is a total 损友 + ultimate jinx! Hahaz..cursed soul. Doesn't matter..so I think its Friday, after our usual C&C Generals, we went for our usual supper at Bedok 85. He is forever an idiot, always ordering an amount of food, 3 of us cant finish. We had stop him everytime! Hahaz..after our bloated supper, we went to Geylang to walk around. So we came across this illegal gambling den in one of the back alley. How to play? There's this dice, wif only 4 sides & 2 numbers(8 & 9). He will spin it, when the dice stop, give you a second to see the number, then cover it with a cup. So it is supposed to test your eye sight as its rather dark in the back alley, make you have to guess the number. But god damit who would actually see wrongly if there is a freaking big torch, lamp, light source or whatever you wanna call it on the gambling table itself?! This is still nothing. So guess what, I haven't even observed enough, that dumb Wei Yang placed $10 on the table & LOST it! For god sake, if its so easy to win, would they even be there? Of course they are cheating! They have total control on the dice. So which side with lesser money wins. They will alway be on the win win situation. Lim Wei Yang, stupid guy...in the end, he lost $20. Hahaz..

Um..think 2 days ago, just completed Final Fantasy X. Ending is sad? Doesn't matter...its not really that nice like it was reviewed. Perhaps I was expecting alot upon reading those review. Now just started this new game. Seems a little boring..

So now, next public holiday will be the National Day! Guess will be meeting up with Xiao Pang & Ali. Lets hope to include more people this year!
