School starting

Was reading hardwarezone and came across some terms for NUS
CORS = Crappy Online Retarded Shit
NUS = No Use Studying
Just planning the timetable for Sem 1 is a big headache. Because i got 2 labs, though no every week, but it's 9am - 4pm on tuesday and friday. So i can't put any lecture slots into Tuesdays and Fridays, walao, and thus all the electives i want to take like management science and music production, I CAN'T TAKe. They are so far away and the lecture slots are right next after my chem lectures... In the end on top of MA1421 CM1101 and CM1131, i'll be taking LSM1301 and GEK1000. Well, LSM1401 is my major/faculty requirement but i have no biology background, so i heard it is good to take a crashcourse LSM1301 on bio, anyway LSM1301 is a semi grade puller and a 1-point bid to get. Anw i decided that im not gonna take any PHYSICS modules, but CM1101 and CM1131 are physic/maths in disguise, bo bian it's essential module.

took medicine time to rest

Eternal Sonata

Been selling some PS3 games off for cash. Anyway they're so old (like 2 years back when i bought them) and not really fun; only the newer games have better graphics, well things improve. Not really true for all games though, i got a 1 year old game, eternal sonata through a trade with my Star Ocean 4, and the graphics was so-so. The battle style is so omg-standard X-button-spamming-&-ulti-finish. Even the cutscenes are so waiting to be skipped. Gosh... I can already foresee myself selling it soon. That leaves me with MTS. And i made a breakthrough in MTS. I finally passed the introduction stage! yes it's a big achievement for me lol, <---- fail RTS'er.

Anw there's now this big patch on my back with 28 allergens, and it's so damn itchy. I dno but i might be allergic to everything? Hope not -.- 9 more hours to remove it!

Sometimes i don't wish to face the truth, but the truth will always be there to haunt. I just blog-hopped to my beloved junior's blog and recalled the band incident, and that i didn't really talk about it, was so oblivious to it. Not that i'm racist, over-sensitive, but i realise i don't get along with some types of people. Or perhaps used to not get along with some types of people, i hope i'm not now. But KKH was really an anomaly. I could remember ever since sec school time, flute section was always very small. From Raymond (sec 4 then), sec 3 Dianxiang and arthur, sec 2 me and kkh sec 1 jiawei yishan and sheng heng. Well it's expanding, but there were always conflicts, especially when it came to my year to elect section leader. Ever since i was elected, i felt KKH wanted to be or did not recognise me as SL. Well, i still have my juniors that i loved back then. I remembered i couldn't tolerate his attitude especially during sectionals. During main practice, he would just put up an act, what a hypocrite. During sectionals, he would just do his own stuff and small actions to irritate people (me and jiawei), like slamming files in my face etc. Well, I stepped down as SL and kinda regretted it, cuz subsequently i left and jiawei said it was hell after that. There i didn't dare face the threat, I always gave in... THen in JC once again, i thought god was on my side cuz he didnt join band at the start. When SYF was nearing, he suddenly appeared and joined flute section. That was the worst time and i knew i was going. Well, this time he drove me away, not that i left on my own accord. Jess was SL and i gave her problems by not wanting to sit next to KKH. WELL, to put it, there were me lardy and kkh. So basically, there is a combination for us to be apart, that is lardy in the middle, but no she insisted on lardy kkh and me. GG. It's such a trivial thing yeah but not back then, i didn't want to bring back bad memories. Sigh. So one day in Jan 07 during main practice apparently i had tuning problem and Leng raked up the issue of KKH and me highlighted by YY. He brought me to the podium and asked me (after a build up of events), you can't sit next to KKH? I replied no way will i sit next to him. And after i got tons of insults and got booted. Call it fate or call it luck, now that after NS and working at GE, I've seen much worse. I don't think he'll ever haunt me again.

Today is your lucky day

Mahjong is the new LAN. No, it's on a different league from LAN. I can already picturing myself retiring to China, some suburb district, playing mahjong in the park everyday. Oh my life~

I can't wait for Ninja Storm 2 to be released, like NOW. And also FF14 on the PS3. Ever since i played any games on the tv, no hand-held games can keep me addicted. I've never complete any hand-held games since secondary school. Pretty sad, but as technology advances, your expectations increase. Perhaps, one day game consoles would be touch screen or motion-sensor"ed". So it's September 28 for UNS2 and March 2011 for FF14. For now, I'll just stick to MTS and Naomi. Wootz

I know I've been wanting to write a new song, but as things are of now, busy as I am, trying to digest all the university stuff and reading up books of interest, it'll be hard to start penning lyrics.

Copied from a FF14 pre-game guild recruitment:

[Who we are looking for]

First and foremost, if you are a hardcore, competitive, no-life gamer who plays at the top of the pack, then you have found the right home.

For players who cannot be hardcore due to work/school, we are looking for experienced and quality players who are able to commit to at least a regular raiding schedule (assumed 4 nights a week for 4 hours each or so).

Eastern Europe

Just came back from a super long holiday in KL and then Mid/Eastern Europe. Took a 13 hour plane ride to Amsterdam and transit another 2 hours to Vienna, tired and shagged but continued with the tour once touched down... visited the shronbrunn palace or how u spell it, that was super hot without air con nor opened windows... and the ground outside was all sand and gravels. What a palace... The only thing nice was the rose garden.



Stopped by Bratislava and then went to Budapest. It's made up of Buda and Pest, whereby Buda is the upper class and Pest is the lower class. Went to the one of the many town squares in Europe and then one of the many churches, St. Matthias Church.





Took a cruise down Danube in a boat that looks a little cui.



Scenic view on the cruise though.



Went through tatra mountains from budapest (hungary) to krakow in poland; full day drive from 8 to 6 lol. Visited Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, where the Jews were bathed and then poison bathed till death.



Town square and church again. And Jagiellonian University. Then my favourite attraction of all, the Wielczka Salt Mine preserved by UNESCO for 800 years. I thought mines were hot, but this mine was at 18 degrees with strong undercurrent winds blowing.

My favourite picture. Of course i scrapped some salt to taste, and it's damn good.



The entire place is salt. Even the floor are salt tiles.



Then it was Prague in Czech. Went to the 1000 year-old Prague Castle, whereby St Vitus Cathedral is inside.

Back



and front



and door



It's too huge to be taken up to down >< and the insides are beautiful. The tinted glass.



And PAINTED glass



Town square again. Charles bridge, made a wish.



Then travelled 2 hours odd to the outskirts, a protected place by UNESCO called Cesky Krumlov, it has a natural meander, studied from geog, that will become an ox-bow lake due to erosion of the river banks in years to come.



Actually the water looks like this HAHA.



They did some stuff to preserve the meander on the bottom right and picture is taken from the castle itself right on top of the hill.



Drove down to Dresden to the next most beautiful place, the Bastei in Saxon Switzerland. It's a karst topography, learned in geog again lol.



Standing on the Bastei bridge built on rocks. Granite rocks eroded by weather, horizontally jointed.



In Berlin thereafter, visited some random buildings. And then the 3% of the Berlin Wall that's left now. Various artists left their works on the wall as to protect the wall from being demolished.



Asians are being discriminated in Europe, and it's so blatant. Ggrrr.

A long time since i blogged. Also a long time since i downloaded anything big. Singnet is so much slower nowadays, frequent screen cannot be displayed page and tons of bandwidth disorders in my house. Downloading is also so slow. What's up with the net anyways.

My fish is pregnant. It has this black gravid spot and should be giving birth soon when i'm not away... great... the fries will most probably be eaten by the existing fishes. Oh well, i'll wait for batch 2 another month down the road.

There'll be a science open house this saturday again. It's quite screwed up of being uncertain how well you'll do, and you can't plan your career path. Most people advise you to plan early but i can't... with all these uncertainties and question marks. sians.

15 days left till end of work! Could say it's a blessing? Although there goes my source of income, not that it's significant compared to when i come out from U, but for now it is. What's the takeaway from the job anyways? The pay? Will employer look at the 5 month job experience? It's like it's just a waste of time now. But at least i know i won't wanna stare at the computer for 9 hours in the office a day as i won't have stamina to use the comp at home anymore.

Also checked out the computer roadshow for uni that happens end july. The notebooks sold are so high end, not really for uni uses. The price are hence also on the high side. Guess i'll fall back to square one, dell. Although this time it's assembled in China, come on what's not nowadays.

Still got 50% of BOI to install. Well nothing much to blog about anyway. Office is becoming stall. Glad that i'm going to 走路 soon. Now i would just stone at the screen sometimes in a daze then snap back to reality trying to recall where i left of. Really unproductive compared to when i first started. Things get mundane once you do it for such a long time. It's like grinding in a game or hunting for a rare drop, but from those you get satisfaction. In office? All you earn yourself is a shitload more of work; a spiraling vortex of depressing emotions. When in NS, only the officers would show appreciation to your work, the warrants would just be nowhere in sight anyway until you make a mistake. Now in the office it's a cold cold world, dog eat dog world, whatever world of politics and arrows. Ok it's done :P
