Having the exact same problem for a while already.

Spent 10 bucks for cash shop and the game screws me over.

What.

The.

FUCK!

Nuff said.

..

But i'll elaborate.

Playing it with Lyra, Ming and James, trying to get Dom & Cheryl to start sooner than soon!

Brings back the feel of GE that i havent found in any other game so far.

Jie's birthday today!

Finally wished her happy birthday on the right day.

Lol.

Had an awesome dinner at a Korean BBQ place at 26 tanjong pagar with zx, ming, wx, gerald and cc.

Can't wait for training tomorrow!!! Pink handwraps! (assuming Kenji brings 'em)

Res ipsa loquitur

2011-09-21T23:55:00.001+08:00

Been hooked on an iphone game called Shadow Cities.

Been watching Castle Season 3, and it's bloody awesome.

Feels like i'm growing fat even with the exercise.

Still coughing like an old hag.

Been doing then redoing my cv.

Yeah.

Life kinda sucks at the moment.

Germs....ugh i hate germs!

2011-09-11T14:16:00.001+08:00

Fallen sick.

Feel like Death might visit.

Fuck...I cant go for muay thai today.

ORD = Games, games and more games!!!

2011-09-10T17:56:00.000+08:00

ORD OH!

..

Yes, I just had to say it.

Completed Deus Ex Human Revolution in 4 days of moderate playing. obviously on 'Tell Me a Story' difficulty (easy) as I only wanted to know the story. Duh.

Warhammer 40k: Space Marine came out on the 6th, and sure, the game's great and all but it feels like Brink all over again....hopefully they update more content and the promised co-op mode soon!

Dead Island released on 9th, been playing it and I feel it's fucking awesome, it's the zombie version of Borderlands, a sandbox zombie apocalypse open world!
Tthough a random horde or two would make things harder and exciting.
Co-op makes things easier since 4 people can gang up on a Thug, the mini-boss of sorts in fixed places, and whittle it down easily whereas a lone player would have to face this fag alone, plus fend off any random mobs drop by.

Today, now, as I post this, Steam has screwed up again.
This time, no cooperative game can be played as the dreaded message 'unable to join server' pops up every time.

Exercise wise i'm keeping up to schedule, though i need to really improve my stamina!
This flu i'm having now isnt helping at all!

Goddamn germs....Ugh.

Training start!

2011-09-05T01:48:00.001+08:00

Day one, 4/9/2011.

Muay thai training 2.30pm-4.40pm
Arms and legs feeling like jelly now.
Tired but happy because i can simply let loose and hit something and workout.

Been hooked on to Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 lately. Getting Deus Ex: Human Revolution soon.
Warhammer 40K: Space Marine is out on 6th around 12.30 noon.
Dead Island out on 9th sept.

My days ahead look to be packed with gaming and exercise...shit i need to start working soon...I need more moolah!

Backtracking to 3rd sept, saturday.

Went to Karen's housewarming cum boardgames party at 2pm, got my horizons broadened by the insane spread of board games that they had!
Honestly i'd thought we were going to play Monopoly or Scrabble!

Had tons of fun, but left at 6 to Punggol Community Club to support Cheryl Jie's event (she put in weeks of OT!) and grabbed a nasi lemak for dinner, and the free popcorn that came with the $1 ticket! Plus they had a screening of Toy Story 3!
Despite having watched it before, I still enjoyed the show, which ended at around 10pm. They had to clean up and I was pretty tired, so I headed home after giving her a hug of support.

End.

Nihil Novi Sub Sole

2011-08-29T17:13:00.000+08:00

The Latin expression, "nihil novi" ("nothing new"), had previously appeared in the Vulgate Bible phrase, "nihil novi sub sole" ("there is nothing new under the sun"), in Ecclesiastes 1:9. -Taken from wikipedia

Apparently not.

Changes Ahoy!

I'm going to ORD in ONE DUTY's time!!! I'll miss abusing all you stupid drunkards......

Okay, that aside, I've put on a lot of weight during the time in the fire station.

Yeah, like i told Desmond, any worse and i'd do half a sit-up, fail, then flop back and sleep then have to set a skag (ref. Borderlands) on Cecilia so that i won't get dumped for being fat.

Aaaaaanyway.

Recently, my soon-to-be ex-paramedic, got me hooked on to Iron Man Hawaii trialthon documentaries, in a good way.

No, i dont spent my time watching them back-to-back and get fatter.

Rather, i've been inspired to get my fitness back to what it once was.

Just so i can't cheat myself and slack off, i'll be charting my progress on this long-forgotten blog.

Ideal weekly timetable
Sun: Muaythai (replace with run or cycle if no lesson)
Mon: Bodyweight resistance
Tues: Swim
Wed: Bodyweight resistance
Thurs: Run & cycle
Fri: Bodyweight resistance
Sat:Rest & recovery

Shall officially start + record progress on coming Sunday, 3rd Sept

On a sidenote, i ran 40min on a random impulsive route around the estate yesterday, 28th Aug.
Just finished today's light bodyweight resistance; pushups, lunges, plank, double-crunch

Note to self: start doing skipping sometime in the future too.

Clementi Fire Station life

Prologue.

Reported to Alexandra Fire Station (1st Division HQ) for our paperwork to be done. Waited 3 hours. Sat on CD lorry which travelled to Central, Bishan then Clementi to send us to each of our own postings for the next 1 & 1/2 years of our time as underpaid labour.

Clementi's newest addition to the cheap labour force, Fiky & Me.

Now fast forward to the next day, my first shift on the job & also a night shift.

Tended to numerous medical cases (a norm in clementi) & an utterly retarded assault case to be mentioned later.
All of which totalled up to 14 calls, just 1 short of matching the station record for a night shift; 15 in 12 hours on New Year's Eve.

As for the "assault" call...it has such juicy details one wouldn't be able to begin to comprehend the complexity of the situation.

Don't say i didn't warn you!

Here goes...

'Malay guy slapped Malay kid.'
Resulting in a Chinese passersby calling 995 for ambulance.

My brain hurts.

I need sleep.

08/09/09 Enlisted - 07/09/11 ORD!

2010-01-08T09:44:00.007+08:00

I had officially became a government slave on the 8th of September, year 2009.
My contract ends on the 7th of September, year 2011.

A date marking the start of my retardation process.

Shave head.
Do paperwork.

Yes, PAPERWORK with all the bits of HAIR on us! INJUSTICE I tell you! INJUSTICE!

PTP - Physical Training Phase
As the title states, it's a phase in life whereby my physical fitness is supposed to be at its peak...according to the instructors anyway.

Was it true?

...

No.

Schedule:
5am - wake up
5.15am - morning "exercise"
6am - BREAKFAST
till lunch - exercise or stupid lessons
12 - LUNCH
till dinner - same as 'till lunch', whaddya expect dammit?
6pm - home free! (replace 'home' with 'bunk', 'free' with 'confined')
9.30 - lights out
10am - last movement (that means sleep. like hell we do!)

REPEAT over 4 weeks = mental patients who do footdrill, know basic rescue & run around like idiots.

~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~

Oh hey! I got selected to become an ERS, Emergency Response Specialist.

In otherwords, firefighter section commander.

ERS:
- 6months course
- SGT rank ($740)
- Fire Badge (+$300)

If posted to station, ERS get +$80 for meal allowance, work 1 day 24hrs, 2 days 'OFF'.

Sounds nice?

1 section = 4 men including yourself

The 'OFF' is actually 'STANDBY'.
Means the bastards can call you back during those days to do PAPERWORK or for MEETINGS.

'Everything happens for a reason'
The pay's high for a good reason, you have a shit amount of actual OFF days.

Training actually became fun after a while, firefighting drills, PT in bunker gear...

That is, till I suffered heat exhaustion.

My symptoms included..hyperventilation, extreme perspiration, fainting for a second before facing the floor, dizzy spells & temporary short term memory loss.

It ain't funny! I KILL YOU!

Plus i had fever and severe dehydration after that!

A week later, i injured my back & had to see a NUH specialist.
Letter for Medical Officer resulted in 45 days light duty.

Hence, OOC came to me.
Yes, Out Of Course.

Here's how!

Nice?

Went back to being a recruit at BRTC, did stuff learnt in ERS, finished it & got the hell out only to be sent to Medical Orderly Course.
In otherwords, the cause of my suffering in Clementi Fire Station answering to the health concerns of Singapore citizens who dial 995 for the dumbest reasons.

Like assault.

By assault i mean slapping.

Yes, slapping.

That however, is for another time.

...

If i bother.

..

Too bad.

Restart, Work, Cecilia!

2010-01-08T09:14:00.011+08:00

o-kayy...so i decided to give this another shot.

Had given up on the work at sim lim cause old lim was starting to piss me off & selling the monitors was getting mundane as hell. so i decided to try the F&B line, started working at Fish & Co.
after around 2 months (i think?) of mostly greeting idiots, one of my colleagues pulled his friend to join as well.

That was Cecilia.

Since then things got a more interesting there, i shall skip the details since it's for us to know and not YOU! :P

I'll just say that we got closer slowly & i got myself a wonderful girlfriend :D

Love you my dear silly girl! :D

To hook a mermaid, all you need is a fishing rod & some bait. Preferably shellfish.

In all honesty, I'd forgotten about the blog. Or was still trying to forget about it like one would for a kid from a drunken escapade.

...

Damnit.

Why couldn't I forget...

L4D randomness

2009-04-20T03:30:00.004+08:00

Another epic lag in L4D on my lappie merited me 7fps which honestly seemed more like 3.

I could literally count the frames.

Tried to "build" a "bunker" with a script mod with zhenxiang.

Fail.

Ended up surfing for random stuff 'cause i didn't feel like sleeping yet.

Cute, but they look like they've just gotten raped by some random bangla.

& thanks denisa for the very neat little illustrated story entitled "The saddest bear of all" that both warmed my heart and put a smile on my face.

For other L4D players, how about a nice 4-fingered cake?

'"While it looks barely edible from all the detail, I'm sure the Boomer wouldn't mind a piece of it. Om nom nom!

I've gotten in touch with the photographer, Ashelia, and she had this to share:

It was actually a delicious cake though and more something Zoey would eat than a Boomer. It was vanilla and chocolate cake with a nice icing to create the hand effect.

If you want a funny anecdote, the baker asked if my friends were 'stalking me' because she thought the L4D was a death threat to me ("LEFT. FOR. DEAD.") and was shocked when I was like "OH **** OH **** OH **** THIS IS AMAZING" and screamed like a little girl.

"So they aren't stalking you, this cake is a game?"
"YEAH, I WORK WITH THESE GUYS!!!!!!" "'

- Sol Invictus

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

SMASHING ROCK!

2009-04-10T00:33:00.006+08:00

BAOC '09.

duration - 3 days

crazy preperation - 4 weeks

memory - forever

the tradeoff was that i turned back damn white again 'cause i didn't go out to swim...

spent ages ( 5minutes) trying to think how i should write out the experience...

..and gave up.

it was worth every bit of my lost voice & i wouldn't have traded it for anything else in the world

didnt keep any pics so i stole a couple from my fellow SBs & SCs :X

Here's some of us crazy ppl that climbed up above our banner.
PS: SCREW DISNEY! They sneaked into the photo!

Freshies painted a banner too!

One rockin' big orange family.

Yeah.....I'm deprived of sleep....

People.

2009-03-31T23:07:00.003+08:00

The worst kind of meeting is a meeting like a fish.
Since the more you meet, the fishier the smell gets.

The kind of meeting you should be most cautious of is a meeting like a flower blossom.
Since, when it's blooming it's a joy, but once it shrivels, it's thrown away,

The kind of meeting that's the most beautiful is a meeting like a handkerchief.
When things are rough your sweat is wiped away, & when you're sad your tears are wiped away.

Horrorscope!

VIRGO - The Perfectionist
Dominant in relationships. Conservative. Always wants the last word. Argumentative. Worries. Very smart. Dislikes noise and chaos. Eager. Hardworking. Loyal. Beautiful.. Easy to talk to. Hard to please. Harsh. Practical and very fussy. Often shy. Pessimistic.

Was trying to clear my old unread emails (again) & found one with horoscopes.

Yes i'm a Virgo.

Dominant in relationships? Unsure.

Conservative? At times.

Always wants the last word? Definitely.

Argumentative? Duh.

Worries? Yeah, occasionally.

Very smart? Damn i gotta work on that part.

Dislikes noise & chaos. Only sometimes. But I so do love chaos every now & then, spices things up.

Eager. Depends on what i'm doing

Hardworking. That's a definite....NO!

Loyal. Guess so

Beautiful. Now now, i'm not chopping 'it' off & going the tranny path.

Easy to talk to. Sure, about as good as talking to a block of wood, with a couple o' replies.

Hard to please. I'm having trouble finding a good game now, does that count? 5 games tested & uninstalled in a week

Harsh? Depends, refer to previous post? You be the judge.

Practical & very fussy. Now i need someone to tell me.

Often shy. Oh yeah, unfortunately i haven't weaned myself off it.

Pessimistic... Urgh sometimes.

Note: This post was done out of utter boredom.

PS: If you know a nice RECENT game, let me know yea? thxbai

Muay Thai.. shag arh!

2009-03-15T18:13:00.009+08:00

I didn't shag someone called muay thai.

Geez..pervert.

Had first session today at 3.30.

It's great! Definitely way better than what i experienced in Aikido @ Ngee Ann.

But that also means i'm aching way more than i ever did then. Or just 'cause I haven't exercised in ages..

Met some nice people there, though there wasn't much chance to actually chitchat, & everyone was exhausted after.

Friday 13th
Entertaining

2nd friday 13th in a row! Febuarary had it too!

An omen? Maybe.

Had some entertainment at work in sim lim.

Parties involved:
LHH = Lim Hong Huat. My team manager or whatever the heck his position is.
Fuwell = Shop at Sim Lim Square.
Video-Pro = Shop at Sim Lim Square.
Me = Me. Duh.

Things to Note:
We get posted to either the 4th floor counter or different shops.
There's a Rule that we're only allowed to bring customers to our designated shop & not others or the shop ppl will get angry. Makes sense, a little..
But going another shop to talk is equal to closing a deal with customers there? Does not make sense.

Here's an excerpt of the "conversations" i participated in.

*my phone rings*
LHH >> Where are you now?
Me >> I'm at Fuwell, hello to you too.
LHH >> Why did you bring customers to another shop.
Me >> I didn't. Try fixing your crystal ball maybe.
LHH >> The shop complained to me that you brought customers to another shop.
Me >> Oh really? I didn't know I did that. When was that?
Me >> Do share the details.
LHH >> How would i know.
Me >> So remind me again, why did you call? Doubt it was to say hi.
LHH >> Don't try to be smart with me.
Me >> I'm not & not trying to, it's hard to be smart.
LHH >> Why did you go to another shop.
Me >> To talk to them.
LHH >> Why did you talk to them?
Me >> To...talk..
LHH >> You think that just because i'm not around you can just do what you want?
Me >> ...
LHH >> You better do your job properly.
LHH >> You know the rules. You're not to bring customers to other shops.
Me >> I didn't.
LHH >> Follow the rules! I told you all before that Sim Lim is a very sensetive place.
Me >> Right..I just didn't know that 'talking' meant 'bringing customers to close a deal'.
Me >> I really have to update my Singlish.
LHH >> You think this is just a temporary job so you can just do what you want then fuck off & leave your shit behind?
LHH >> When you fuck off WE have to clean up the shit you left behind.
Me >> Well okay, sounds like you'll have fun.
LHH >> You better follow the rules when you're there.

*beep* He hangs up

Later at the storeroom, after reporting sales figures.

LHH >> Why is it Vivian & Xing Sian[spelling?] sold 10 each & you sold 3?
LHH >> You got angry after I called you then purposely don't want to sell right?
Me >> There was really very few people, even Samsung only had 3 sales.
Me >> Go ask Fuwell then.
LHH >> Ya sure. I'll check with Fuwell later
LHH >> You better be telling the truth.
Me >> Huh? Selling the what? Soup?!
LHH >> Telling the truth.
Me >> Selling what soup?

This was totally accidental, I'd really misheard it as 'selling the soup'. Really!

LHH >> You better not be lying.
Me >> I don't get money for lying to you. If i did maybe i would.
Me >> No, I definitely would & I'd be rich now.
LHH >> I know your type, you're the rebellious kind.
LHH >> You purposely didn't sell after I called. Rebellious people like you dont need money.
Me >> And sorry to disappoint you, I DO need the money.
Me >> *mumble* Really wish i actually get paid to lie..
LHH >> What did you say?
Me >> I said I hope I'm not your type.
LHH >> You better sell more tomorrow.
Me >> The warranty's for 3 years, only that many people will buy Philips monitors & only that many possible customers everyday.
LHH >> If that's the case then why are we still able to sell?
Me >> Such a miracle isn't it..
LHH You better sell more than 3 tomorrow.
Me >> I'll try, but the air said it's broke too.
LHH >> Just sell. Ok bye.

*Hangs up*

That made my day. Fine, Night. But hell yeah, i was laughing in my heart all the way :D

It's a thankless job, but I've got a lot of Karma to burn off.

I'm an easy person to understand. You mess with me, I mess with you. You cool with me, hey, I'm nice at heart yea?

Fish & AAR

2009-03-02T01:06:00.004+08:00

Friday 27/02

First day @ Fish & Co. Great World City outlet.

FUN!

Seriously.

I really want to just save the memory & keep doing a playback.

Duh. No hot chicks. 'Cept for well-insulated Mira the cook, the wrong kind of heat.

Started learning as a Runner, sending food to tables.

But there's potential to learn bartending there! :D

5pm

Met up with Qian Hui & friend, name forgotten, for dinner 'cause I'd be giving her birthday party a miss.

The Ship was good eh. Love the food.

Didn't fancy going to a party that's..
1) got nobody there I know.
2) underaged. No drinks.
Lame reasons. Fine. I just didn't feel like going.

Well, enjoy the 'bun' girl, you're seventeen now.

You still cant watch Bloody Valentine though! Nyeh!

7pm

Met up with jeremy, josh & chris for 2nd round of dinner then headed back to GWC for All American Rejects party at Zouk carpark!

Carpark sucked.

Stiches & AAR rocked the place!

Zouk was GODDAMN FUCKING CROWDED.

And bloody hell. I didn't get to buy the Nokia 5800 for 58 cents. Fist that. Stupid unlucky draw.

Boys Before Flowers

2009-02-26T03:30:00.003+08:00

Introduced to me by Szu Hui :)

Note: Got to know about it after the iDare Swensens outing reaaaaaaaally long ago
Edit: just checked sms outbox, 23/01/09

The first Korean drama i ever sat through. Rather, the first drama I even liked.

Normally that stuff is a no-no, but i figured i'd take a look since such a cute friend is so into it lol.

Honestly, it still has those draggy flashback moments, standard of K dramas (according to mom)

But hey, I DO actually like it, not just 'cause of the character Min Seo Hyun(Han Chae-young)...Shhh!

Out of F4, I'd say Kim Bum is the best looking guy there.

Oh, and here's the link. Check it out.

crap, it's 4am..nightz peeps

Tarot? Yay! MLM company? NAY!

2009-02-20T20:40:00.008+08:00

Recently I got myself a deck of tarot cards from Kino @ Taka. Cost: $50.90

Mom went 'WHAAT?!' when she saw the receipt.

Now, fast forward a couple of days.

While playing DotA halfway, i got a call from some unknown girl[cute voice](now known as aiping), saying i'd been shortlisted by the company for a job.

Got the job orientation scheduled on friday & called jeremy & ming to come along.

Kicking virtual ass & suddenly I get a potential job?

What could be better?

..

Something's fishy.

Friday 12.##am.

Decided to try a card reading about the mystery job.

Card Obtained:

King of Cups - Beware of ill-will on the part of a man of position.

Figured it was ridiculous & dismissed it as a noobish failure.

8.30am -12noon

CNPB building.

Had my arm poked by the needle thrice.

He shoved the needle in, couldn't find the vein then wiggled it around hoping to hit the wellspring.

Retrieved needle.

Made a new hole & repeat wiggling.

3rd try. Hit the vein.

Lost a syringe-full of red stuff.

Lifted up bag with drained arm, turned to leave & turned the plaster red instantly.

2nd plaster applied.

NS Medical Checkup result: Pes A.

Mental state after e-quiz: Brain-dead.

3pm

Met aiping & met my expectation of...lets just say, not matching the voice.

And, we met 2 other guys, whose names are forgotten, & another employee of Venture Era, yan jing( likely incorrect spelling but sounded like chinese for 'eye')

Time wasted on:

- Talk about how great calcium-infused water with small molecules are.
- Intended brain-washing session on how great & easy it is to rise up the ranks to crazy pay.
- Verbal sparring with a name-forgotten manager of VE. (King of Cups! Would probably be in pieces if i continued 'debating' with him)

Guess what? Venture Era is a Multi-Level Marketing company. The very core of hypocritical marketing which i dislike.

'Bring in your friends to work as your team & their sales will count towards your "points" to rise rank!'

Using friends? No fucking way asshole.

Anyone who follows this crap & sells out their friends should be shot. Seriously.

Using random people? Well i'd probably have done it too if I hadn't been in sales for 2+ years now.

But honestly, screw that. I'm not creating a vicious cycle of dragging unknowing people into a sinkhole, much less myself.

7pm

Reached home, dumped stuff & went down to the mall for a walk.

Ended up at the volleyball court.

Guy >> Can you play?
βгуαи >> Last time i played was almost a year ago.
Guy >> Join us then.
Guy >> Yells in Spanish.
Guy's Family >> *laughs*

Joined the Portuguese family for a few rounds.

I sucked. I know.

At least i scored twice.

Anyone wanna practice vball with me?

Note to self: Never leave hp number on random surveys & Trust the Tarot cards.

Geez-us?

2009-02-16T14:24:00.004+08:00

Christianity:

The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Makes perfect sense.

something random

Got BLOOD!?!

2009-02-13T01:13:00.004+08:00

Hey, i know you haven't done anything good for a while.

..

And that that's an understatement.

Now's you chance to pay it all back!

And friend's friend is in deeeeeep trouble SO HELP OUT!

Interesting coincidence isn't it?

[quote]
My friend, Tan Jun Jie Jordan (S9010111J) is in critical condition. He has a blood clot in his brain. As he as low platelets count, he is unable to undergo operation Hence, he needs your donation of blood platelets. As blood platelets can only last for 5 days, NUH's blood donation centre will call you when they need the platelets. So, if you blood type is either B+ or O, please give me your NRIC number, full name and contact number. NUH will contact you when they need your blood platelets.

Peixuan
(HP: 82283857)
[end]

So, as a friend's friend's friend, if your blood type is B+ or O, CALL Peixuan!

Don't be scared of a wee teenie needle! Worst case you'd get aids that's all.

That aside, i wish i could help more directly, but i'm an A+ type (not in grades mind you, it's the opposite there).

GO! FUFIL YOUR DESTINY!

fine.. that was bloody corny..

New addy

2009-02-03T01:27:00.007+08:00

Changed the fuckin name!

Having something so damn nonsensical like 'kirkde' was getting on my nerves.

I mean seriously, who the hell would use that?

Sure it's easy-as-hell to remember but it's utterly Retarded.

lafinedellarcobaleno or, the end of the rainbow, sounds dandy but it's better.

At least in my semi-inebriated mind.

Wasn't my fault, the vodka was getting old in the cupboard.

Every year people make resolutions, half of which probably don't ever get round to fufiliing them.

Well mine's simple this year.

Get of my butt.

Learn & try things i've not yet done before.

Simple isn't it?

Simplicity is beauty.

Or maybe it's just because i've to go in to NS sometime soon.

Rollerblading
Done!
11/01/09

Wakeboarding
Done!
20/01/09

Now, if rollerblading was fun, wakeboarding is THE BOMB!

Sure i started like a complete idiot, falling into the water right after getting pulled by the line.

No, no pictures of shame allowed.

Today's Target: getting past the first 2 ramps (wasn't allowed to go on them though)

A teenie bit better

Heading for the target point!

Today's Target achieved!

-yeah i know i've gotten fatter...i blame the New Year goodies!
Thanks jamie for the excellent camerawork, and blocking the board with your finger!

Now i'm mentally high and physically exhausted.

Time for DoTA with desmond.

It can't be helped.

I'm really losing faith in people.

Now the media has a new poster child for video game violence and the rest of us have to sit back and weep for humanity.

Seriously.

.

And for those who failed the First Time, there's a Second Life to fail at again.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Sigh...

'"Variety reports that Universal Studios and Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski are to make a film about a man who loses his life to an online virtual world.

The studio and helmsman have acquired the rights to a Wall Street Journal article by Alexandra Alter called 'Is This Man Cheating On His Wife?'

The article details the Second Life addiction of Ric Hoogestraat, a chain-smoking, diabetic middle-aged man who would spend as many as 20 hours a day living a virtual existence as a thriving young businessman, and who had an in-game marriage to another player (not his wife).'"

Here's my question:

WHY?!

FOR THE LOVE OF JACK DANIEL'S, WHY?!

WHY?!

WHYWHYWHY?!

How in the hell are they going to turn this stupidity into two hours of compelling cinema?

They couldn't even turn it into two minutes of compelling news.

This is one of those stories that makes you go "huh" before you check your e-mail and completely forget about it.

Who in their right mind would want to make this into a movie?

And who the hell would go and see it?

Seriously.

Then again, that f&%@ing chihuahua movie made money.

That doesn't make the story any better. It just means that people are just as retarded in Hollywood.

I really wish I was making this up. I really hate to destroy what little faith in humanity the holiday season has given you.

Here's a bunny to make you feel better.

Not Caerbannog

Awwww.

He's so cute, you almost forget how friggin' retarded our entire civilization is.

Almost.

As you've probably noticed, the update schedule for the blog has gone to hell.

I'm not sure what's going on, but I just don't feel like writing these nights. I'm usually dropping tired or just can't find the words to write.

That doesn't mean the blog is ending. Far from it.

I just need to get back into the swing of things.

I think the problem started with the schedule as I set it. I wanted to update everyday and I think I'm just getting a little burnt out.

For the next little while at least, the update schedule will be erratic. I'll write when the mood strikes me and when it's something that I think is worth you reading. That might be ten times a week or two.

I'm not sure yet.

Anyway, if you check back occasionally, I'm sure you'll often find something new to read. I just need time to find the spark that made me like writing these stuff.

No. This is not a goodbye. I just need a little break.

Stop crying.

Christmas

2008-12-25T22:16:00.004+08:00

Sneeze.

Cough.

Fever.

Work.

$6 commission.

Panadol x2.

That just summed it all up.

PS: Whoever's thinking of me, JUST STOP! My nose is going to fly off my face within the next few times i sneeze! Be considerate.

Story Time!

2008-12-19T23:58:00.007+08:00

Gather 'round, folks.

Good ol' bryan is gonna tell you a little story.

*tunes up his guitar*

Late Monday night, bryan got a hankerin' for some food.

Looking through the cupboards, he noticed that all these foods required him to actually do work.

bryan was not happy.

*strum*

He decided to head on down to the nearby Kentucky Fried Chocobo to get a good meal. He was quite hungry and purchased a 4-Piece Meal.

Yum.

Now usually, this food item had the following effects:

4-Piece Meal
+ 5 MND
+ 5 SPR
- 10 AGI
Additional Effect: Empty inventory space is filled.
Duration: 3 hours

*strum*

Unfortunately, he must have missed a line in the latest patch where they adjusted the effect of this food.

Apparently it was changed to:

4-Piece Meal
-10 MND
-10 AGI
Additional Effect: Inventory sorts and empties randomly
Duration: 6 hours

You'd think he'd have noticed that in the patch notes.

He did not.

If he had, he might not have spent 6 hours throwing up.

That might have been helpful information.

*strum*

Lovely story, that one.

Spermalot?

2008-12-16T22:05:00.004+08:00

Like most people, I spend a lot of my time checking my e-mail. Once a month or two. It helps me keep track of all my fan mail and any impending litigation.

It's an important resource in today's world.

And, in order to utilize that resource to it's fullest potential, I make sure that my spam filters catch anything that might not be important.

Advertising.

Porn.

Those freaking retarded forwards about angels or babies or angel babies.

You know, useless crap.

Yet i somehow have

Yes, 589 mails that escaped the incendiary pile.

Just for a laugh, though, I like to occasionally take a look through my folder.

Now, you're probably thinking this is going to be a rant about all the spam guys get about getting a larger penis.

No.

No, no.

That shit doesn't bother me.

Most of it is actually pretty funny.

"You get bigger tool, she make scream now."

That's comedy gold, right there.

No, the weird part is that I get a huge amount of spam trying to sell me watches.

Think about that.

My spam folder is comprised of ads for either getting a larger dongle or watches.

Isn't that a strange juxtaposition?

Apparently, internet spammers have done years of market research and discovered that people are extremely concerned with both the size of their reproductive organs and knowing the current time.

Guy1>> Hey, I know the current time.
Guy1>> And when I get an erection, I faint from blood loss.
Guy1>> I'm very happy.

Guy2>> Dammit. I'm not aware of the time.
Guy2>> And my junk is embarrassingly small.
Guy2>> I could be better.

It seems that not only are we preoccupied with these two things, but we are SO preoccupied that we appreciate receiving information about these topics multiple times each day!

I figured I could answer both kinds of ads;

That way, when my manhood becomes even larger, I'll have an extra place to wear all the watches their trying to sell me.

βгуαи>> Gee, it's 10 pm up here.
βгуαи>> I wonder what time it is at the south pole.

I'd have to stay away from one of those kinetic watches.

That would probably require a great deal of waggling.

There's some lovely mental imagery, huh?

Pregnant man crap.

2008-12-09T22:29:00.002+08:00

It's old news, but since Jean brought it up, i figured i'd mention it.

Myself, I was unhappy that the term 'Pregnant Man' keeps being used as a news label. The person in question is, biologically female.
I'm a huge beleiver in the NOMDB principle. (None Of My Damned Business.)
What other people do isn't my business, if they want to dress/act/be surgically modified to resemble something other than what they were born I have no right to say otherwise.

As a very wise fox said. "Unless he is pushing a baby out his penis, it is not a man giving birth".

Quote from [GM]Dave
Just... Just Stop Already

I'm a tolerant guy.

Stop laughing.

But I've had it up to my freaking eyes with this "pregnant man" bullshit.

IT'S A WOMAN!

How hard is this to understand? Why are we even bothering to give time to this crap?

Yes, she is choosing to live as a man. I get that.

I don't really care either way.

People can pretty much call themselves whatever they want. It really doesn't matter to me.

You want to call yourself a man? Go right the hell ahead.

What the f&%@ ever.

It still doesn't mean it's a big deal that you get pregnant.

He/she has ovaries.

He/she has a uterus.

He/she got pregnant.

This is not news.

This is actually the exact opposite of news.

I could, right this minute, take my computer apart and reassemble it in the casing of our dishwasher.

From the outside, it would look exactly like your average dishwasher.

I could not, however, pretend it was some freaking miracle that I now had a Vista-capable dishwasher.

Now, I've got nothing against dishwashers or computers that want to live as dishwashers.

By all means.

But a computer running a computer program isn't exactly earth-shattering.

If the pregnant man was Vista-capable, that would be news.

I mean, he's already interested in case mods.

Bah dump pshhh.

Seriously, he/she should totally do this. Get a fully-functional computer running inside his/her abdomen.

I would friggin' Digg that shit.

Hard part would be putting in the motherboard.

See what I did there?

But pregnant?

That's not interesting. People have been doing that for years.

I installed one of those in Susan ages ago.

I'd say she's also a great dishwasher, but she'd probably stab me in my urethra.

That would be bad.

I like my urethra.

I'm attached to my urethra.

Maybe... Maybe if we all just stopped paying attention to bullshit like this, they'll stop trying to pass stuff like this off as news.

...

I'll just be over here holding my breath.

Saved me from bruising my brain.

Time to move on

2008-12-08T10:50:00.007+08:00

a quickie before work. i think it's time to move on...not good for health & mind to stay in the past..

depends if i ever find someone again..thanks nickelback

Gotta Be Somebody- Nickelback

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I´ll be waiting for the real thing.
I'll know it by the feeling.
The moment when we´re meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I`ll be holdin’ my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

`Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere.
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It´s just like Déjà Vu
Me standin’ here with you
So I´ll be holdin`my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
'Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There´s gotta be somebody for me like that.

`Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There`s gotta be somebody for me out there.

You can´t give up!
When you're Lookin´ for a diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you´re holdin` on
‘Cause it could be the one, the one you´re waiting on

‘Cause nobody wants to be the last one there.
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There's gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh.

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they´re not alone.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There `s gotta be somebody for me out there.

Nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares.
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there.

Right?

...

Damnit

Does the Walker choose the Path, or the Path choose the Walker?

2008-12-08T01:03:00.004+08:00

Got an email from monkey but i didnt reply.
Sorry babe, though you might have actually become hot, it's not possible for me to love you for that.

This isn't going to get you anywhere.
You said : my heart died with you that day..
I say : Love is like fire, if you play with it, you're bound to be burned.

My date with the Witch

2008-12-03T00:14:00.005+08:00

'When you first encounter her, Left 4 Dead's fifth and unplayable boss infected is a peculiar sight. The notion of a plainly-dressed and raven-haired young woman sitting in the middle of an urban sidewalk might even be plausible, had the city not been teeming with the hungry dead. But perhaps most unsettling is the quiet weeping; the witch is most often heard before she's seen.'

AAAAAND! i found her sound file...hehe

off to play another round of No Mercy before sleeping!

PS: add me on Steam so we can play ~> gh0stfyre
note: it's a zero

Sitex..day3+4

2008-12-02T23:53:00.004+08:00

upss......

Mmmmmmm i forgot to post x.x

so......friday @ sls was a flop...sold 5, saturday 14, sunday 17. yay?
Seriously, i don't give a hoot about my sales figure.

New boss's a friggin drunkard, likely with sanity problems.

Oh, did i ever mention my colleagues?

no?

darn.

Well, my fellow part-timers are great company (a bajillion times more than the seniors) with the exception of kirby, he-who-doesn't-have-balls, whom couldn't bring himself to talk to the girl he fancied at sitex....geez
Hey, Szuhui, now you have company! Shimin's gotten the title of PSG too! :D
Maybe i'll have both of you meet someday hahaha

Anyway, the show ended with me being goddamn tired of seeing boss's butt-ugly face, having a smexy hoarse voice & without a copy of Left4Dead (PC).
Tch.

The only time a woman actually succeeds in changing a man....is when he's a baby.

Sitex day One!

2008-11-27T23:29:00.010+08:00

sitex @ expo, day 1
fun, frivol, tipsy.

ahh lovely...goofed around most of the time & got scolded by benny-the-supervisor.
Got to know some of the insurance people at their Manulife stall opposite ours, somehow ended up with a 'girlfriend', cindy. Geez, next thing i know, i'd wake up next to a Mexican ballerina named Pedro and her peruvian llama Precious....whom i probably married in a drunken adventure

mmm..yeah, just recovered from a cold, so i lost my voice talking to those pesky window-shoppers that made me explain the philips monitors then saying they'd go 'compare prices & be back later'

thanks for the tea, cin. It sweetened me, so you got the bottle ;D
and yes, you ARE too old for me though :X

AND thanks to CERTAIN seniors & their ingenious idea that heineken could cure my sexy, sexy voice....i'm 5.35 poorer & feel no different.

Tsk.

tomorrow, i get to head off back to simlim square 'cause it's nearer for me & i'd get to talk less, thanks to my lost voice :)

RappelzSEA, Fail.

2008-11-22T03:36:00.008+08:00

Time passes fast huh, it was yesterday already.
Hmpf

I gave RappelzSEA a shot & to me, it's a failure of a game. Heck, even Hellgate was somewhat better..

1) Gameplay easily surpassed by Requiem: Bloodymare, ignoring the fact that Requiem isn't even complete.

2) Mapletards.

I so do love that word.

So, I woke up this morning and said to myself "Self, what would make us feel good today?"

And then, myself said "Hey, why don't we PK a whole bunch of retarded people?"

So I said "You know what? That sounds like fun."

PK Count: 27
Morality: Evil (7/9 bar)

The PK system is the only thing in the game i like (Except replace 'like' with 'find not shitty').

A final pic with [GM]Zerachiel..before purging rappelz from my com.

Ahh. Code Geass R2 ended.. Great ending though. :D
The storyline may be far-fetched, there's wayyyy deep meanings in it.

Now i sound like a philosophical grandpa.. -.-

Lovin' it!

2008-11-18T21:45:00.004+08:00

SO so Happy back to doing sales!

NO more rotting in a cubicle!

NO more looking at grace's ugly face!

NO more attitude from grace!

:D

NO more reading manga & slacking off!

NO more $2.50-for-4-dishes mixed rice!

NO more free drinks!

O.O

...

damn it...

But yeah, i'm back in my element
Thank whoever's up there, i sold 2 sets today xD

So, anyone wants to buy 17", 19", 20", 22" or 24" lcd monitors?

pst, there's free...cables too?

Sim Lim o.o

2008-11-17T23:20:00.006+08:00

Finally decided it's time to get another job, gotten way too exciting going out, watching the random movie & rotting at home

...

Okay fine..i'm getting short on money. Happy?

So i figured i'd go back to sales, & guess what? where else to end up at for IT stuff other than...Sim Lim.

Phillips LCD Monitors.......yay? Hopefully people are going to buy for the New Year.

GO Spring Clean.
NOW!

Then, buy Phillips monitors from Sim Lim Lv 4.

Thanks!

Code Geass season 1 anime ending was crappy...but i guess it's hard to end such a story anyway.

Double Disappointment

2008-11-14T11:55:00.005+08:00

Went to watch Quantum of Solace yesterday....and the movie was no solace for the entry ticket.
Heck, we'd have been better off if we went window shopping...maybe...

I spent at least half the movie either,
1) yawning
2) dozing off
then waking up when i heard gunshots.

sorry about that val....oh wait, you were sleeping!

seriously, so much talk and so little action! You've butchered the 007 name !

Reached home at 1.30, found that RA3 download finished..uh.i mean i finally got RA3!

found a cdkey for it & finished started playing it around 2 till 4am....

#@$%!
It's a medley of RA music & unit voice-overs, Generals, Transformers, some cartoonish thingy graphics AND stupid attempts at humour in the tutorial ( other than skirmish, that's all i could bear to try)

Skirmish.
Probably the only thing enticing is the Japanese force with their Transformers style units. Hell yeah! Starscream, Blackout & some flying submarine. Oh, and their superweapon. Now, that psionic thing's animation is cool.

Any three-year-old can draw a better map than that. Seriously, come on EA, you did better for Generals.

So yeah, that's about it. RA series was butchered, lost in a wet market, thrown together with whatever fitting pieces of fish, chicken, turtle & whatnots EA could find at that moment to create Red Alert 3: London?
Oops, it reminded me too much of Hellgate i guess

Buggery

2008-11-05T00:53:00.005+08:00

I've been reaaally lazy to update (read: totally forgot about) the blog recently

Friday....

Had a discussion (argument) with grace about my dozing off at the desk, which ended up with her crying in the toilet (so i heard)
*victory music*

Enjoyed claypot rice lunch with jackie, tey & lai yeow, as usual, sherry didn't wanna come along with her friend.
Antisocial peeps.

Went to youth group, Amplify at hougang at 7pm
Never mentioned it before 'cause somehow i kept forgetting to write about it.
In my defense though, i've only gone there 3 times so far
No, it's not a friggin christian one, it's catholic.

damnit...i really wanted to go to 98.7's rsvp party at Thumper....

Spent the weekend watching another dumb show, dont ask me what, and catching up with some old friends

Monday :D

after lunch while i was actually doing work

Grace >> i need to start on the low risk banks so i need your screenings and printouts.
Grace >> organise them and give them to me as soon as possible.

so being in a good mood, i did just that.

5.30
recruit express called up
Charlene >> hey bryan, from tomorrow onwards you don't need to go back to work
βгуαи ah, so i finally got fired?
Charlene >> that's not nice.
βгуαи >> oh did i say that out loud?
Charlene >> anyway, return your passcard and turn in the timesheet

so i went over to grace.. (nah....it's hard to get away with murder in a confined office)

βгуαи >> you could've told me i was getting fired last week, at least i wont have to waste today's time and the energy to go to recruit express again for ONE day's pa.
Grace >> it wasn't my decision, HR took the action
βгуαи >> yeah, and how did HR get the idea in their heads? i wonder who
Grace >> ...
βгуαи >> anyway, thanks for the memories even though they weren't so great

got everyones' contacts EXCEPT 2 certain someones. darn sherry who had fever and left early, and of course, my oh-so-entertaining ex-superior

Left the dumb place at 6pm thought i wrote on the timesheet 6.30pm.
Why stay when there's 'nothing' to do?

yep, left peacefully, no drama caused..

on a completely unrelated note, UOB might have some trouble finding the softcopy for low risk banks, pantry vending machines might be rather steamy and smell strongly of expresso/cappucino for a while, maybe a toilet or two gets mysteriously clogged with paper, stickynotes, toilet rolls or even a pen.

such horrible employees they have. tsk

Perforate your life! Get holy

2008-10-30T11:05:00.006+08:00

No, i haven't been pushed by grace into the mrt track and died.
However, she saw fit to give me 5817 banks to find out their 'swift' code.

After spending a whole day on it, i completed a flabbergasting 243 banks! (didnt even read manga ><) Swift indeed. Deathline: end of friday. the long weekend was spent on tropic thunder, sleeping, Atlantica, BNet & wasted on max payne. denise..i did tell u it was gonna be a crap show...pfft. Latest news(read: stupidity) in Vietnam Your brain may or may not survive. A new Traffic Rule drafted. People with a chest size smaller than 28 inches are not allowed to ride motorbikes.

Viet: we cant afford implants!

Wonderbra business booms?
the guys might buy them too..

i can picture the policemen carrying tape measure everywhere & eagerly getting female motorists to to pull over, for...measuring.

Bring it on!

2008-10-23T09:12:00.008+08:00

Alternate Title: "Don't screw with me. I won't screw with you."

"I'm shaking in my foot gear."

Why do people feel the need to challenge me?

Why?

It's so overwhelmingly stupid to see how morons try to get at me. As if their pathetic, pedantic little words would worry me.

-yesterday-

So my lunchhour starts at noon and ends at 2pm.

So if i play Minesweeper at 11:58, don't watch the time and my supervisor walks past at 2.01, it's a crime to be playing it (read: wasting time)

Grace >> You're NOT PAID TO PLAY GAMES HERE!!
Grace >> This isn't a games..games..games place!
Grace >> You've been playing it a long time already!
βгуαи >> One, this is called Minesweeper. I'm sure you've seen it before.
βгуαи >> Two, i've played TWO rounds of it.
βгуαи >> Three, it's 2.01, i simply didn't notice the time
βгуαи >> Four, no need to shout
βгуαи >> Five, please respect people's space and not suddenly appear behind them
βгуαи >> I'm sure you can understand these points, you can write them on the fingers of one hand too :)
Grace >> Don't try to be smart with me
βгуαи >> Oh I'm not trying, don't worry

I think i heard a blood vessel burst

The only thing these childish ramblings (or naggings) do, is prove how retarded you really are.

Thinking back, I should've pointed out that for someone being a RM, one should get the facts right before scolding or arguing. It doesn't make the company look good.

When shit starts flying, don't expect me to let myself get hit. It'll stink, and that's bad for my nose.

i really need to get back to reading d.gray man now

d'ya mind flappin your lips somewhere else? you smell

Caught reading :(

2008-10-21T16:26:00.009+08:00

Gah...spent the whole day reading D.Gray-Man manga......and it just HAD to be topped of with that grace walking past & catching me....now(4.04) there's nothing to do till 6.30 -.-

Spoke too fast.

She came by again. This time to hand out a stack of folders.
No good could come from this.

βгуαи >> Uhh...
βгуαи >> What are these?
Grace >>They're hardcopies of bank information
Grace >> I'd like you to review them
βгуαи >> I see...
βгуαи >> So, what's a hardcopy?
Grace >> They're printed. On paper
βгуαи >> Ah..paper...
βгуαи >> Hmm...
βгуαи >> I remember paper
Grace >> You need to review them for errors
βгуαи >> Well...
βгуαи >> That's not good for me
Grace >> Well, we need you to do something
Grace >> You can't just sit here for the day
βгуαи >> Woah, hey. Don't be so hasty
βгуαи >> Maybe we should try that "sitting around" idea
βгуαи >> It could work
Grace >> I don't think so
βгуαи >> We never do what I want to do
Grace >> ...
Grace >> Just review the reports
βгуαи >> Fine

βгуαи >> Wait... I can't get this folder open
Grace >> What's wrong?
βгуαи >> I'm not sure
βгуαи >> I'm double-clicking the cover...
βгуαи >> But it won't open

I literally sat there for a minute double-clicking my finger on the cover of a plastic folder.
I think her head almost exploded. With an almost broken look in her eye, she turned and walked away.
With that, my dream of another manga spree was destroyed.
Now, I'm stuck drinking at my desk.
Stupid job.

time for a break, start with your boss's legs

More entertainment found!

2008-10-20T15:25:00.007+08:00

Bank claims and...something

2008-10-17T12:32:00.014+08:00

was searching for board of directors of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc, which i couldnt find even after an hour of trying -.-

instead, i found some interesting stuff on how offshore banks screw us over with 'service/consultancy/usage' Charges!

role example
http://www.penaltychargesforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=13440
his BBC story
http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6180000/newsid_6186100/6186183.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm

So..
if you have an offshore bank account, GO DOUBLECHECK! NOW!

and if you succeed, i'd always welcome a donation :P

right. After lunch & back in the office, while chatting, lawrence suddenly called out to grace (my damn 'boss'), and told her G2000 was having a 15% off for DBS card holders on..guess what?

yeah... lingerie.

not a big deal right?
how about 70 BUCKS for it?

she chuckled & asked what colours were there, as if the price was the most natural for undergarments... Seriously, i know there's like $300 ladies lingerie, but isn't it too extravagant?

richbitch1 >> i bought some lingerie yesterday for a bargain price! Only $250 apiece!
richbitch2 >> oh my gosh! where from?! I need some new ones too, mine are already a week old!

guy >> so how does a $250 cloth feel?

pickpocket >> geez...who cares about wallets...lets steal their lingerie
perv >> sure, i'll distract them for you :)

flalalalala~lalalala~
i have to check & see if banks are related to terrorists...
'The Consolidated List established and maintained by the 1267 Committee with respect to Al-Qaida, Usama bin Laden,and the Taliban and other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with them'

great huh?

take a guess on which bank i had to check today.

MAS, yeah, Monetary Authority of Singapore

. . .

lets play a quiz

First name to check against the list.
He's a well known senior minister with PAP

Clue: G_ h C_ _ k T_ _ g

it's a giveaway, but it looks hilarious xD

Next name, Minister for Finance
Tha_ _ _ _ S. (i'm not gonna type that out -.- too long)

plus all the other 'Politically Exposed People'..

anybody knows how much it IMH admission costs?

Hope is the dream of a waking man. Get outta bed, lazy bum!

STILL NO INTERNET AT HOME!!

Apparently it's a problem with my goddamn Mio-shit. the singnet sinkhole of support said i should contact the manufacturers & bring the thing to them, AND they couldnt even tell me where the freaking service center is!
As if it wasnt enough, those fags operate at office hours only, so i'm working, CAN'T GODDAMN GET IT SERVICED!!

if it keeps up, I will get lighter fluid and a match, and set your servers on fire.

FIRE!

just kidding, you know i wont do it

on a completely unrelated note, anyone knows how much lighter fluid is needed to cover some servers?

pink. the colour of cotton candy, glorious sunsets and...your lower intestine

pfft.

NP Strings music camp!

2008-10-11T14:07:00.011+08:00

so yeah, i'm in NP Strings CCA, joined it starting of this year to learn guitar.

anyway, the committee painstakingly ( i think :P ) orgainsed the camp and it ran from 8th till today, 11th Oct.

Day 1.
Wait & break

reached at 9, met up a friend & got to know some new ones too :)
Lecture hall 73 opened at 10.30+++ (only remember we played like 7 games of taiti), broke up into groups, 'bonded' & in less than 5 min, we got the luxury of "re-bonding" (teck hui's word) with our new groups due to a reshuffle resulting from idiots not coming & SCREWING UP the planning!
took us 3hrs from entering to getting into our new groups cause us guys tried beating the reshuffling with plans.......epic fail...
at least we tried...
then came the fun ice breaking games & always the FORFIETS! wheeeeeeeeee~ not gonna say what the unlucky ones had to do ;)

Dinner
..

Night Soccer

Sleep

side info thingys~
Committee Name: Roti
Sides: Peanut, Butter
Group Name: Nutella
We're in Peanut!

Day 2.
Fun & a wuss

what's a music camp without music? we had practice after breakfast :D

then?

games stations!!!
only thing i remembered most was tug-o-war cause i have souvenirs on my hands.
Heck yeah, out of 3 rounds, Nutella won ALL! Well done to us! :D

round 1 lineup?
daniel---jeraldine--morgan-----0-----benjamin--shermin---me
ground--plastic sheet plus soap!-0-plastic sheet plus soap!--ground

result? we won la! duh
but daniel was a tough one....he's quit..er big so his leaning back pulled me forward quite a bit. have souvenirs on my hands for the experience ;p i took a pic of my right hand, the worse one..left hand just had a teeny bit of blood & skin loss lol
Rope burn ftw!

rest of games....i'll skip description

then, waterbombs!
just picture it, 50 ppl throwing plastic bags filled with water at each other, mayhem :P

Nightwalk.
Fear, a first
urgh...before the walk, we watched The Exorcist, the old classic one.

hate to admit, but i got creeped out by it & was damn jumpy during the walk!
had to hide behind stephanie half the time too... >.>
100% certified wuss

don't laugh damnit....the show's creepy..

Day 3.
fun & 发狂

i'm tired so it'll be short...

cheering competition, buffet dinner, performance & club music with stozer & zi yang doing their thing :D

oh yeah, forgot to mention, got to know stozer & zi yang during camp, a greatgaypair they make!
wish there was a vid of the mass dance prep, we had stomach cramps from laughing!

oh yes, we watched 2 "comedies" after, Over My Dead Body & Hot Fuzz (well, not the full thing..)

Over my dead body will i watch those again! 45+ min into OMDB & nobody had laughed. Sleep was eminent for all
switched to HF & it was just as bad...damn LT not having aircon wasn't any help either

so we went back to the club room, played cards & talked crap, till shar & his friend...wei something (cant remember ><) came in & asked if anyone wanted to go for a night walk.
PS: time then, 2.20am
supposedly there was an 'old man' that walked down the long stairs from the yellow submarine @ engineering block 3am everyday

so, having grown back some balls, i went along with them (damn michalle, stozer & zi yang didnt go...& obviously none of the girls fancied the idea of meeing some spectral cheekopeh with a 3am yellow submarine fetish) told them 'if i dont come back, u know where to look for me'

time: 2.35
reached the spot.
whole area behind the sub was pitch BLACK. not a single light at all.
we sat at the curb opposite, facing the steps & started talking about ghost stories we knew of, about np, our sec schools, etc.
decided that we'd leave at 3.15 cause we were feeding mosquitoes!!

time: 3am.

a breeze blew past same second shar's watched beeped the target time.

nothing happened for a full minute

then, we heard a train sound from a direction slightly off the sub. sounded kinda far away. that's fine right?

maybe..

..or not, when the 'train' passes every minute after it started

then from the halls behind the sub, we heard the celing fans spin at full speed, slow down....then full speed again & repeat
plus the sub looked menacing in the dark...like a fat yellow hunk of ham from hell

it's helluva scarier when u cant see anything pop up but only hear stuff...not easy to run from sounds when u don't know where it's coming from..

3.15
old geezer didnt pop up so we started walking back. along the road in front of blk 52, felt a slight pressure on my head, shar said 'don't look up'.
it's the kind of like somone putting a hand on ur head, just that it's evenly spread out, like..constant wind blowing from above?
reached back alive, in one piece with many lumps left kindly by mosquitoes after feasting

in the safety of the slightly packed room, we started discussing the jaunt :)
we all had felt the 'pressure' & none had dared look up, but shar was told by charmaine, that after the nightwalk, some of the 'spook station masters' saw a white thingy flying/floating above them in the sky while they were going back to the bunks from blk 52...brrrrr..

interesting jaunt & at least i'm not as scaredy as right after the exorcist....

back to playing bridge & taiti till around 6+ then we couldnt hold out longer & left for bunks & went to lalaland~

Day 4.
pics & numbers

the title's descriptive enough. lol

ok i finished the post! sleeppppppppppppppp here i come!

waiting on ziyang to send pics of our small brotherhood formed in camp :)

edit: omg what an idiot...saved as draft & didnt Publish Post ytd....bleah
