blind spot
29th jun 2006

try this


Close your left eye, stare at the cross mark with right eye. Off to the right you should be able to see the spot. DON'T LOOK at it; just notice that it is there off to the right (if its not, move farther away from the computer screen; you should be able to see the dot if you're a couple of feet away). Now slowly move toward the computer screen. Keep looking at the cross mark while you move. At a particular distance (probably a foot or so), the spot will disappear (it will reappear again if you move even closer). There, that's your blind spot.

Note: If you can see the dot, you're prolly not doing it right.

Flipping pissed, warranty of my hard disk doesn't state that it'll take about 6 weeks to get it fix. Thanks for proving so extremely useless. And right now my com's USB just somehow doesn't wanna read my mp3 or handphone.

Figured another method, zip all the files up, send it to my gmail(so i could use the usb ports in school). Another problem came, my computer cannot sent any email attachments. Someone save me - bring windows xp.

Tuesday
Yesterday's problem solved - first thing in the morning. I went online, saw my bro there and asked him bout it. Simplest solution that i didn't attempt - use another USB. Yeah, what the?!

p.s. today 新娘18岁's final episode!

Wednesday
All my term tests results:

Programmable Automation 22/50
Engineering Mathematics 58/100
Principles of Dynamics 64/100
Microcontroller Technology 29/40

Shit man, failed one stupid subject. Anyway, went kevin's house today(the condo beside tp). Big house, live alone. Too bad he lent ps2 to narita, or we won't be playing 16-bit nintendo.

22nd jun 2006



I want my computer to be fully fixed! It's been weeks! Piled soo many songs already, just hopelessly waiting for my computer(no usb now).

Spent my stupid day at youtube and updating my friendster. Yawns.. Bad bad sleep last night - i meant i can't sleep.


yongchye's bday!
21st jun 2006

can you tahan?


Monday
Another movie watched - "Slither". Went to marina square with sailam, guowei, ivan and yipeng. Spent like two hours at the arcade, KOF XI! Damn cool man, two machines hardly anyone play, can train.. Ha! Back to the movie.. It's more gross than any movie i've seen. So if you're looking for a raw bloody puke-inductive movie to satisfy your sick desire, here's the perfect choice for ya. =))

Tueday
A day of pure hibernation.

Today
It's yongchye's 18th birthday! Third birthday celebration this month. Had zhu chao(my millionth zhu chao alreadii) again at bedok. We(yeeteng, sabby, meihuey, ben, qiulong, hongguan, zhengxi, yc + khengwei) just had a simple meal there, tat's all. I shared cab with yt, sab and hg home. After hg alights, the taxi sorta bang a bicycle at the holy trinity's traffic light. The man was alright but he like want the driver to get out(his bike's chain was damaged i tink). They quarrelled outside for a while before the driver just took off. Why am i even blogging this, it's none of my business.

I just changed my blog's font to "Sylfaen"(too many people are using "Verdana"). Looks a bit blurrish to me.

p.s. ff vii(advent children)'s OSTs realleh realleh rawks! =))
p.s.2 i got sony ericsson handphone theme creator! cool.


happy father's day!
19th jun 2006

say and write


Happy father's day! My family(plus some of my relatives) went to visit my aunt's new house at pasir ris. It's very cool, kinda like elmo's place. But the transportation there sucks, only bus 403! Like where the hell does THAT lead to..

We had dinner at elias mall - zhu chao again! Shit man, anymore of it i'm vomitting. And i ate ALOT cuz i skipped lunch(and my breakfast is like.. a bun?). When we were back home, my family played Uno-Stacko! Hahahs, yup, tat old block-pulling game. Then my dad, bro and i taught my sis how to play mahjong. What a fun crappy day.

Did zhengxi's blogskin yesterday(finally), there's like a million pictures so take quite a while to load. I'm still waiting for my computer to be fixed, mainly wanna play dota and use USB port.. gotta upload lee young-ae's photos(from khengwei) and upload songs to my creative.

Arghh!


marina, silent, dota!
16th jun 2006

Reached home not long ago! What a long day. Today went to marina square with ivan, guowei, zhanyuan, sailam and yipeng! We had lunch at tampines before going there. Watched "Silent Hill"(tink it's sneak)! It's a damn blooody movie. No wonder it's NC16. Overall i tink it's a pretty cool movie(with all the dead bodies and all), just a bit lengthy though. Realised lots of movies love to associate with the christ - da vinci, the omen, this(you should see what happened at the church). Interesting. =)

We cabbed back to tampines and had dinner. Then went back to ivan's house again - dota! Hahahahs! I haven't touch dota for more than a week already. Fortunately the feeling still there - HOLY SHIT. =D Luckily didn't miss last bus.

silent library(shhh, quiet in the lib!)


Hilarious? For more of such videos proceed to youtube and search for silent library. Actually there are others as well, just scroll.

japan english class(don't laugh!)



zhengxi's bday!
14th jun 2006

Happy 18th birthday zhengxi!~ Yucks, one by one all 18 le, no more suan-ings. So anyway, i met khengwei, yeeteng, sabby, meihuey and ben at small mac in the afternoon. Then we took a freaking hot bus to that board game cafe("Settlers"). We played like 3 games i tink, and it costs less than 10 bucks. Thanks to student prices! =) Zhengxi, boonsiang, yongchye and songlim came after that.

So the first game was some childish animal-noise-making game. It's just like a poker game that calls the other person's name with the same card as you, but i tink it's been modified a bit. The second one was an acting game - you know pictionary? Yup, instead of draw you gotta act, played in two teams. The third game, the neverending game(if i knew this i never would've played), is some complicated game with poker cards. I only liked the part where 2 persons gotta be arseholes. Cool. =D

Pris came to parkway to find us - we went to play pool! Only bs, kw, yc, sl, yt, sab and ben played though. After like forever they finally stopped playing. Then we went to bedok for zhu chao.. again. Somehow we separate tables though, hahahs! Ohh, jaryl came! After the dinner we slacked a while before the few of us shared cab home, while the others went to jaryl's for mahjong.

Okay, something bout my kingdom hearts 2. I can't seem to complete all the optional quests - there's like 10 trillion! And i can't beat sephiroth yet - sure i love his combos animations, but i can't even last like 30 seconds into the battle. That sucks. _l_

Going marina again tml, sick, gotta go.

p.s. obviously, changed blogskin, based on kh2 theme.
p.s.2 thanks sab 4 the pix! n i lazy to put upload pix on previous post, jus see pris' blog.
p.s.3 watch animations vs animators! neat.


beng's bday!
11th jun 2006

Okay, i've got lots to type. First on the list, i finally finished all my term tests on friday! Hopefully i can scrape through the last paper. Anyways, after the paper, i met jason for lunch at tampines and then muhua, pris, clara, vincent and elita came. We went to buy ghimbeng levis' briefs and some weird recording flower. Hahahs!

Beng came with estella and we went to thai express for dinner - beng paid half! I'm still waitin for pris to upload the photos. We went to parkway and beng sent estella home. They wanted to play pool but the queue's so freaking long so.. we went to gelato! After that the gals went home and we went to muhua's house!

You see why this post is so long now, it's still on friday. We watched world cup, while alternating turns to play dota.. til 6am in the morning. Yawns, muhua's dad drove us home thankfully.

I had like 5 hours of sleep before going out again. Met sabby, yeeteng, meihuey and ben to far east. We shopped for zhengxi's pressies(hope zx dont read this post!) til pretty late. Then khengwei joined us and we had dinner, twice. We decided to watch midnight show, "The Omen" at cathay.



It's damn nice larh! See i knew it. It's a must-watch! The movie's full of suspense. Though i didn't really fancy its ending. This reminds me of this webby. Already 2am - we took NR7 home! It's a freakin good bus man, went to everyone's houses! Everyone = those who went for e movie! Reached home like 3am, then i can't remember anything else before i just woke up. =)

p.s. completed kingdom hearts 2! now completin optional quests!


temp solution
8th jun 2006

im confused


Here am i again. My com got sick, hard disk crashed to be specific, the one with windows installed. I couldnt touch the computer at home for nearly 5 days, i had to do something.

So im back, installed windows on my other hard disk. This is the only temporary solution - though it sucks.

Besides the big disaster my com faced, im now having term tests! In fact tml's my last paper! Whooohoo!~ I know i didn't really study much and did a lot of last minute work but i think i can passed all the papers so far! =) Wished me luck for the most difficult paper ever known tml!

Oh ya btw, im reading Dan Brown's book-made-movie. =)

2nd jun 2006

I didn't even think bout that


Finally, after 3 days of torture, i recovered! Though i still gotta strain a bit when speaking.

Anyways, next week's term tests, geez. I'm soo gonna fail, year 2 is hard. That's all, i'll blog again when i got something to write.
