What you can try:
lately i've stumped on this blog, written by a british girl, 22 years old, musician, and a gamer. i respect her as a gamer and it made my strive to game more.. hohoho, seems like the old fire is burning all over again.
just some random thing because im bored doing my dip project (actually today ive done nothing related to work other than resoldering something that was done quite poorly cos we were rushing)
l4d achievements!
hoookay, and im officially broke and i really need a job soon! any job! :S (yeah im so desperate now, please if anyone got lobang anywhere (: a one-time job will be best because of my irritating school project)
and weekend is here, and i've gotta hold the thoughts of going out with friends, hanging out with old friends, outing, reunion and etc etc because my pocket apparently is quite thin :p well, its not so bad because its not so bad staying in hall on the weekend too! for the geek in me, theres LAN computer games, theres movies and series to watch! for the not-so-geek in me, theres many sports i can play including soccer, badminton, and tennis! sounds not so bad, no need to travel, not much money spent. (altho i really really need some vacation, some holiday, some escape)
and yesterday we went out to the city! well, not exactly. we went to iluma at bugis, the new mall with the filmgarde cinema. and i realise howw longggg since i last went to the city. (not so long, but the point is that not so often and usually just there for one purpose only) gone the times where we stroll along the orchard road with really nothing to do, no destination. go window shopping at plaza sing, at cineleisure. now everytime i go to town, theres a specific destination and target to achieve, after that, catch the last bus/train back. so much for living (literally) outside the country.
but yesterday, again, we cabbed back! (pain for the wallet) because apparently after our 1st movie, angels and demons, we weren't satisfied enough and we went on to watch a midnight movie, night at the museum 2. hohoho (altho its another painful thing to the wallet) BUT, it was worth it! especially the company of course :D
angels and demons exceeds my expectation of a remake of a book. its fantastic and brilliant. much better than da vinci code, really. my only dissapointment was knowing the antagonist at the start of the movie. all the briliant plots and twists is spoilt by that. if only i had forgotten the bad guy. BUT apparently, someone did! yiting actually shed a tear for the bad guy! hahaa, kena bluffed by the twist. nice move. swollen eye.
night at the museum 2 was, okay, so-so. funny, yeah but not that hillarious. meaningful, yeah but not so much. so its just a so-so movie. 3/5 will do. but yeah, i mean not bad (: haha. after movie we went to mcdonalds nearby for supper, and apparently joce need to go back so, well, me oe and yoga needa accompany her, and as a result left yt and kong at mcs that morning waiting for bus. (well, they are not online up till now, hopefully they got back safely)
funny thing was night at the museum 2 started at 12:10am, and oe reminded my at the start of the movie that results are out! haha, took awhile to get my mind off it and only to check it on joce's new iphone after movie. was scary to check, really, and as expected, screwed up my last paper EE2001, B- and material science gave me a B+ though i expected more. but, well, i met my target, so im not so sad, but quite dissapointed cos i thot i can do better. well, i didnt maintain my score.
no update on the weekdays because it was filled with gaming everyday (and as usual my DIP follows before and after gaming) sleep deprivation is an everyday thing. haha, we even bought 2 mattresses! my room looked like a chalet, all the floor is covered with mattresses. haha, we woke up to play, and play before sleeping. von and kong came on monday and yt since last friday/saturday. yoga is in the room too! imagine 7 people sleeping in one room. hahahha, well, dont imagine too much or it may go wrong. haha.. spent watching movies (saw, twilight) and playing games (L4D, Warcraft 3, Counter Strike) but kong and yt left on thurs, and von on wed. after that my room is back to the normal not-so-noisy state. well, its always good cos i can catch up with my sleep, but i always look forward for them to come again and game again! (hahaha, we talked about this yt! go find other activity, we have no life!)
and apparently the arcade at iluma is hiring, hope yiting can get there and get me in as well :D hehehehe.. working in an arcade, what else can i ask for XD HAHAHA.. and YITING! i want the photos! a long post like this without the photos is just boring!!!! gimme all ur photosssssss :D
ohh, and wenhao for some reason is uncontactable and gone like the wind. where are you? if you're reading this, contact us!
!!!!
rock scissors paper lizard spock!
went to watch star trek with oe, yoga and yt yesterday, or rather today as midnight movie! to summarize it, the movie is awesome! i am seriously considering watching the old star treks again now because the movie is great! and the actors were amazing too! 4/5 from me. zachary quinto plays well as spock just like he plays sylar. great story idea, great animation and CG, what else can you ask for. well at first i thot its a movie for geek, so i got some guys (and yt) to watch with me, but seriously, its a great movie whether you are a geek or not. haha.
"when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever left, however improbable, is the truth" -sherlock holmes, as quoted by spock.
when the dvdrip version come (oops) ill get it along with the subtitles cos i didnt really catch everything and all the sciency things is too cheem for me.
next movies on the list - angels and demons, night at the museum2, transformers2, harry potter, more to come along.
and the saddest thing happened to me on friday, my harddrive, my 1000GB=1TB hard drive went into some haywire mode! now it cant be detected time by time! this is damn scary, my 600GB worth of movies, tv series, games, applications and most importantly my documents! pictures, videos, etc is there, and only there! i can go and jump off if my harddrive fails me. my data are of utmost importance! checking the harddrive for bad sectors and errors now, if nothing is wrong, means the problem is with the connection part, and then i can go to maxtor to repair it, WITH SPECIFIC instruction of IMPORTANT DATA, can't be lost. (but i scared they check all my piracy :P) okay, i hope my hard drive will recover soon. please. :'(
amos came on friday, and his hair looks like jesus (according to many here) haha, apparently he hasn't done any hair cutting since he left NJC. wow thats quite an achievement. and his guitar skills really improve horigibly (even thats an understatement) seriously, he's the musician i respect the most, and im gonna catch him playing at one of those places real soon. (: anyway, me, amos and hari went to play diablo2 (like again) from 12am till 6am. thats, 6 hours. and we started from level 1, and we slayed diablo in 6 hours! HAHA, well its a deja vu. when we were sec4, during our o levels we did the exact same thing, except that we ended at 10am, means 4 hours more, and we achieve half of what we achieved on friday! we only started the 3rd city. what an improvement. haha. now shall wait for christmas and get our hands on diablo III and then do some rampage again. (:
and the thailand people had returned! yiting has been here since friday, reading twilight at half the normal speed because of her OCD. and im expecting the other 2 to come today and stayover as usual :D well, finally a happening weekend (and confirm lack of sleep next week)
its 2 weeks into DIP and theres another 2/3 more weeks, i just have to hang on there, show face, and play my plants vs zombies.
hello mum! today is mother's day so i wanna say, HAPPY MOTHER's DAY!! (what else) hahaha..
yesterday night i was quite bored with the usual TV series so i went to watch an indonesian movie titled 'love is cinta', the title sure sounds cheesy and corny but well, i was bored you see. the story is about a guy who died in an accident and is given 3 days to live again to finish his business on earth (that is actually the main story, to tell his feelings to his best friend who is a girl of course), but the thing is, his body was destroyed(?) so he can only use other people's body and then the story goes on how he tries to convince the girl and his family that he is himself. confusing?
but the thing i wanna say is that, i didn't expect the movie to be so impactful on me. well, i literally cried when his mom and dad finally believe that he is himself, but its the last day, so he was saying goodbye to the two of them. literally cried like i never did in any movie before. (luckily i was alone in my room). BUT then on the finale, when the girl finally believe him (like, last minute before he fly to heaven, stupid girl) well, i didn't even feel any feeling. haha, i think its the actors. so fake.
well the point is, i love my family. i love my mum, love my dad. but i dont know why but it feels weird saying it to them. when they say they love me, i can never reply that i love them too. its like, its weird and embarassing. but really, mom, dad, deep inside, i love you all very much (: and im sure you know that without me saying it out loud. (haha the cowardly me only dare to put it here since they wont read it). and since its the occasion, happy mother's day! i love you mum (:
a confession i wanna make: sometimes i woke up crying because of a bad dream involving my parents. these kind of dreams are the scariest one. and you will feel very relieved that its just a dream (well of course i woke up with tears because of other dreams too that i wont put it here) :P and only after that you realise how you love your parents so much. people say that you only treasure something after you lose it. everytime, we forget how important is our family to us. only when they are gone, we will remember, but thats just too late.
i know most of the times i sound uninterested when talking to both of you, sometimes sound annoyed and irritated. sometimes im irrational and tempramental. sometimes i look like im not happy around you, or maybe seems disrespectful when i disobey you or shouting back at you. im sorry that if i hurt you in one way another, i hope ill be better next time.
well, to end this point, happy mothers day! (;
going to the next topic is that, i cut my hair yesterday. haha, and if you know me, ill complain after every haircut, as usual. its always not what i expected, too short, too long, theres always something wrong. thats why i want to learn hairdressing and cut my own hair. haha, anyway, heres a shot from my low quaily laptop webcam.
luckily my hair grow in an amazing speed (i think thats what everyone think about their hair right, maybe except yt:P) and i expected it to grow again soon, and by then i wanna cut it the way it should be! haha, ill give detailed instruction to the hairdresser, i dont care. haha.. and my hair is all black already, around 6 months? and the coloured part of my hair is gone already. anyway i found this shot when i just cut my hair on february. it was nicer back then! damn. anyway, the shot was taken on a plane! :p
ok i shall stop with all the narcissistic photos! hahaa, and thatll be all about my post today. well, i dont know why my post nowadays are long like crap. haha, but yeah, maybe because ive nothing to do now :\ wasting my whole day watching shows :P
oh and today is.
you know. so happy 10th may. :p
Holiday is here but my blog seems to be dead. Dont feel like blogging or maybe, not much time for blogging cos i've been enjoying life so far! (except for the bloody DIP) of course. darn. and apparently my tagboard is flooded with spam too, ill change it as fast as possible, no worries. and stop spamming you bloddy idiot. (i dont know why suddenly 'bloody' shows up, watched to much brits shows i guess)
last time i blogged was last wednesday, thats more than a week! well, i wanna recall the last week past by so quickly.
well wednesday and thursday was filled with movies, series and lan gaming with my close friends here in hall. there is no fixed sleeping time, play means play. movie means movie! well i guess theres no better way to start a holiday with time spent with your close friends doing things you like to do.
thursday night we went out to catch 17 again. me and joce went to marina sq just to find out that tickets are sold out, then we met yiting and von at dhoby to check out plaza singapura and found out theres no tix there too, and finally we stopped at cathay to watch 16 again! it was a midnight movie, not as planned. not many seats because friday was labour day, which noone of us remember. well, movie was fantastic, the company even more! went walking after the movie to a nearby supper place, chatted and chatted till damn late, and waiting for the NR buses to come. guess what, we're at the wrong busstop! so after so much waiting (and seeing some girls puke and some prostitutes pick up guys) we decided to cab home, me, yiting and joce back to hall, and kong and von back home.
friday was concert enginner BBQ. to put it in one word. not fun. ok thats two. then it shall be notfun. seriously speaking, company there wasnt that great, kinda missed the small and cosy family back in jc. doing the same things, just more closesly bonded together. wish thing can change next year!
saturday, was finally a tennis day! after 2 weeks of absence because of the stupid exam, finally me, yh, mx and ivan got together to smack some balls again. most importantly we managed to stay close even after going our own different ways now. (: after that me, yh and mx went to vivo. different reasons. me for insinyur camp preparation, and both of them for a double date. well, i joined the awkward company for lunch and promise myself not to be a lightbulb during a double date anymore. then i went to the insinyur beach game testing. to tell u the real truth, didn't enjoy it as much as i thot i would (and my expectation then was already very low, so guess how did it go.) other than catching up with mu og mates and old friends, the camp prepartion and game testing was full of crap. i dont have it anymore in me. you know the high feeling when u're in orientation camp. i better get some soon though, or my OG next camp will be dead having a GL like me :D
well the next week was filled with sleepless nights and stayovers! i dont mean staying somewhere else, but people staying in my room! haha, basically because they are kicked out from hall during the holiday, and my room is the only place they can go back to hall and play together. well, i love this closeness (: we would spend time during the night playing, lets say from dinner till morning, and then i NEED TO GO TO SCHOOL at 9am for the bloody DIP remember? thats when they sleep and when i come back around 5pm, we will start playing again. (of course without me for awhile cos i need to get a short nap before another round of sleepless nights of langaming and then going to school again) monday-friday. yeah, this week was totally a no-sleep week! (thats kinda hyperbolic but that will do) left4dead and warcraft 3 TD and hero defense was the main game. everyday. movies and series in between to prevent us from going crazy.
of course in between the gaming and going crazy we still went out! (to prevent people from calling us geeks and no life people) haha. tuesday was one day before evonne's birthday so we went out to plan a surprise party for her! they went to eat dinner at city hall first before i catch up with them and prepare the final surprise at esplanade rooftop! well, why i wasnt there for dinner? cos i need some sleep after the gaming and school. haha. daphne was LATE with me too though, come to think of it, we always are the late ones. haha. but thats good! because then the two of us can prepare the surprise :D we played sparklers at midnight and taking photos and eating cakes and chit chatting there! (well, all credits go to kingkong of course (: the planner!) after that wing sing drove all of use back to our homes and me,yt,kong,and von back to my hall room! after a short nap for me, we went back to gaming till my lesson starts, again.
thursday night we went out again for an after exam party organised by NTU CS. well, our dear yt 'forced' us to go there. :p haha, it was fun indeed! we went to taboo (apparently yiting said its some gay bar, and apparently on that day its just some club) and hang out there till morning. met the MJ people there too! raz, apple, mel, robin and another NIE dancer i forgot the name. :p drank abit, played some card games (which me and kong cheated very well) and danced on the dance floor? (wouldnt call that dancing though). the highlight of the night was some fight over there. raz was punched on his face while trying to prevent the fight, but the main guy who got beaten up real bad was bleeding profusely from his head, but well, these kinda people, we gave them advice to go to the hospital (benefits of having a nurse in our group :P) but all they care about is to fight back and protect their "bros." went out for supper after that before cabbing back to hall. btw, noone of us got drunk.
and friday just zoomed by me because since yesterday they all went back to their own places already to prepare for the thailand trip from today to next wednesday. and i cant go because of my stupid DIP project. perfect. well, now it feels kinda lonely here alone, with nothing to do, and a room to clean. (sleepovers for one week doesnt involve cleaning up you know) but most importantly i kinda missed the company and noise and all the sarcastic comments. well wednesday is not that far, gonna miss you guys till then! but on the bright side, i can get some sleep now :p
thats all about the things that happened last week and this week! and the descriptive essay is done, now comes the other type of essay.
if you notice the title of this post, do you ever wonder, what does it take to live your life to the fullest? if you read my post which is filled with gaming, movies, and stuff, would you call it a 'no life'? you tell me. im guilty of it too. when i see dota gamers out there, what first comes to my mind is 'what a "no life" life!' spending day and night playing the same game all over again, speaking in geek terms and stuffs, its just uncool. when i watch big bang theory, sometimes i pity them for having no real life! if you know what im saying. but now, i think twice. our society condemn people who enjoy being in the virtual world rather than living in the real world, we call them geeks, we judge them as running away from their lives. the cool people enjoy their lives, going out with friends, road trip, hitting bars and clubs every night, overseas holiday and stuffs. while people who study, or so called muggers, are just nerds with no life.
well for me, i know now that life is more than that. more than hitting clubs. more than dating a gazillion girls, more than gaming, more than studying. life for me is enjoying every second of it with my closest buddies and with those i love most. well, who cares of what stuff we do, what stuff we talk about. i know that every moment i spend with these close friends are those moments which make my life enjoyable and fulfilling.
think about your friends who doesn't care about what clothes you are wearing, about how do you talk, how do you eat. friends who doesnt judge you for what you do, friends who actually care about you. about what you think. well, for me, true friends are those where you can be yourself around them.
who cares when people look down on you, who cares when people talk back behind your back, who cares when the popular guys don't want to hang out with you, well, with friends like those i have now i couldn't ask for more. well you know who you are of course.
whatever you do with them, be it spending your night on a club somewhere getting drunk, or be it snuggling under a blanket and watch your favourite movie, or maybe spending the night on the study room for the test tomorrow, whatever you do, you will feel that its worth living. or at least thats what i feel.
i hope i, too, am someone like that to many of my friends out there (:
hmm, and think about it, why suddenly i talk about these stuffs. i think its because of How i met your mother and gossip girls. XD haha, well, those shows made me realize the importance of friendships in my life. (:
this is a superbly long post. seriously, if you read all of those above. get a life.
