Liberation

Hello i'm back.
Just as soon as they came, they were over. The JCTs are over! I am(we all are) free at last. For the moment, that is. But, some freedom is better than none, so i'll take it.

This is going to be a relatively long post, so bear with me. I'll be splitting this post into the past 3 days.

Starting with,
Thursday

Finished physics paper at 4pm, the last of them. The hall broke into a buzz of joy and relief, after all, they were finally over. CGs started on their plans for celebration, all heading out of school for movies, dinners, etc.

My CG went for dinner at Carl's Junior, Suntec. Huge burgers, along with the self-mixed ice tea, but we managed to finish. Engaged in "Talking Cock", been a while since we've done that. Walked over to the sky garden afterwards and spent some time there. We took silly pictures and all, great time.


Not the whole class, but yeah, still a relatively large group


I was under restraint, really.

I got settled down quick as soon as i reached home. Felt like diving straight into games with my class guys or Vishnu, but i had to clean up my hard disk. It's going crazy with the ever-fluctuating free space.


Meet the Skele-Family

Had a not-so-typical game of dota at around 1 am. King Leoric, four of him. Which means, 4 stuns and 4 reincarnations. Good fun, except for the centaur in the opposing team which had like 3k hp at lvl 10. Insane tank.

That about sums up Thursday. I went to sleep soon after.

Friday

Met ted and weizhou at Mac's around 10.30am in the morning for breakfast. I hit my toe(all-too familiar) against a rock pillar at the bus-stop on the way back with them to my place. Bloody mess.


It isn't the first time

Yujun, chenghau, and tujin arrived soon enough and they all had a swim(no video this time, sigh). A rather short swim, too.

Rushed for a bus down to Ehub Downtown East. Met ryan and angus there and we bought tickets for "You Don't Mess With The Zohan".


Caught in the act

There was some time before the movie came on, so we crashed the arcade. We shot hoops at the err... Shooting Hoops Machine? Apparently the machine was quite mini-scaled, so we could reach the hoops using our hands, with ease.

There were 2 machines. The first one had problems with starting even after tapping the card 4 times, which meant 4 dollars spent. The techinician switched machines for us, and we played. With 2 credits left, the machine failed on us, again. So, the technician switched AGAIN, and gave us 5 credits. 3 credits free of charge. Nice, unknowingly or not. We got scolded for transferring balls to either machine(look above).


Yujun looking, angus and ryan shooting

The movie was entertaining, albeit with tons of sexual innuendos. Serious. Go catch it if you wish. I shan't be a spoiler by descriptions of the film here. The starting was hilarious, but the humour kinda died down midway. Not entirely mindless though.


"Angus, thongs, and full-frontal snogging"

Had subway with them after the show. I can't believe i blurted " 6 foot! " when the guy taking my order asked me whether i wanted a foot-long or a 6-inch sandwich. Funny how the mind works. 6 foot(or feet in this case) is longer than my body, by the way.

The day didn't end yet. I met altron, yinwei, kcc, and kun for some lan at KRTC( if you know what that means ). We played Battlefield 2 from 9 to 11.45pm, and won all the rounds. Incredible, rewarding fun. (Go USMC!)

Saturday

Happy Birthday Lek Ping!

Today's her birthday so we planned to meet at 2.28pm. We had Swensens!

Yujun and i ordered our selected sets of baked rice and CLAM CHOWDER soup. The soup was unique, it came in a breadbowl. We had so much fun digging out the insides of the bread, until we made a hole through the entire thing. Couldn't finish it though, much too filling after the main course.


A ring and a half

After which, everybody separated and i hopped on the bus home with yujun. Took 15 from parkway and changed to 21. Now here i am.

JCTs are over, yes. But, the dread from getting our results, ISN'T. We've this weekend to play the hell out of ourselves, or die trying. After next week, there won't be a chance. It'll be back to the notes. So, people, enjoy while you still can!

My dinner's waiting for me, 30 cm away. I shall be nice and not let it wait any longer. Goodbye!

Le Finale

Wow, it's the last day of the June Holidays. How quick. How horribly swift.

It's approximately 12.5 hours to school. And, the JCTs. Not exactly the best moment. Friday come quick!

4 days to survive through. Push on, guys and gals! Good Luck and all the best to everyone who sees this =) Lets give those papers one hell of a pounding!

Until Friday, sleep well and study hard, it's going to be Man vs. Papers. Goodbye!

(I've a hell lot of stuff to blog about when i'm back.)

The Last Saturday

I've had diarrhoea 2 times today. Hopefully the toll wouldn't reach three. My arse is sore enough.

Woke up at 12.30pm today, its my last chance to adjust my body clock. Or, end up oversleeping for the tests. I'm drained of my motivational juice, someone please share yours with me? Everytime i pick up the book i amazingly can't concentrate, and everytime i stand up i feel like having diarrhoea.

Went through vectors today, still in the middle of it. I just woke up from one of those wonderful, haven't-had-in-a-while, afternoon naps.

Oh shit, i've got to rush to the toilet. Number Three!

Check this space later for updates. Bye for the moment!

Slack

I'm still bloody sick. Yes, bloody seems like the correct word. It was used to describe the piece of tissue that i stuck in my nose this morning.

I knew something was wrong when i woke up sniffing blood this morning. Long time since i've caught the scent of blood, so it was sort of refreshing(sounds vampirish). I must have nosebled through the night, unknowingly. Wonder why i didn't suffocate in my own blood whilst asleep.

Anyway, yeah i woke up at 12.30pm today. Had lunch soon after, and was in no mood to hit the notes so i just rested(almost the whole afternoon away) on my parents' bed.



SexyBack

Ted, chenghau, weizhou and angus came over around 5 to swim. I would have gladly joined them, if weren't for the fact that i was sick. Shit.

They had a hilarious relay competition among themselves. Anyone who wants the video, ask! I won't upload it (:


From left: Angus, Ted, Wz, Ych

After the swim we headed to Century Square to have dinner. 4 sets of Baked Rice, plus bubble tea. Ted left first while the rest of us crossed over to Tampines Mall. I had to get my H2 math volume 1 guidebook so we hit Popular first. Angus and Weizhou had a look around the ongoing Puma sale downstairs and we left shortly after.

As i'm typing this, Clan Vishnu's having their daily dose of fun on Bnet. I'm off to bathe, and then join the dudes online.

3 more daylights before the dreaded CTs. But, 7 more to its end! Think postive, thats the way (:

Goodbye.

Fever, fever go away

I've got to get rid of The Fever. Its been bothering me for the past few days. And, it makes me all sluggish and lethargic at home, which, leads to low studying productivity. With 4 more daylights to go until the fearful CTs, this isn't really helping.

Just had porridge for lunch, healthy stuff. Actually planned to go out with chenghau and weizhou to study today, but The Fever gave me second thoughts. In the end, here i am.

Today is Econs Day! More stuff later.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Studied unemployment and i'm halfway through market failure. Gee came over for a little study session, after which we caught some hilarious vids on Youtube(Gmod ^^). Couldn't fight the urge to blog.

Came over something at Cowboy Caleb's. Some girl went overseas with a man, and got molested by him, after sharing the same bed. Apparently it has blown into a case involving some 48,000 SGD. "avalanche of SHIT" is right(quoted JayWalk). It's in The New Paper.

If you haven't heard, it's not too late. The original blog post by the victim, here. The New Paper scoop, by courtesy of JayWalk, here. And, finally, some fictitious hokkien spin-off(reminds me of Rockson?) of the story, here.

My views? I've no comments. Read what they say.

Currently, there's only one word that manages to stay in my head - STRESS.


The Definition of Stress

Enough typing and back to more reading. Goodbye!

Healing potions, stat.

I've got only 5 mins to churn something out before i go out to get my hair cut.

I'm running a fever, damn it, and this has to happen right before the CTs. Downed some Paracetamol tablets so hopefully it subsides for the time being.

Mr Brown plays Team Fortress 2! I can't believe it. More about it tonight.

Oh, sky's turning dark, i better rush. See you.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Firefox 3 is slated for release today!
New interface, and some fresh features too. It's been my favourite browser since don't know when.
Check out its features here.

As i was saying, Mr Brown plays TF2! I watched the personalized trailers of the game characters on his blog. The ones of the Engineer and Sniper were the best. Here they are, below. To load them quick, view the Standard Definition versions ( SD ).


Meet the Sniper


Meet the Engineer

There are other characters too. If you have time, check them out here.


Aunties Galore

After the hair cut, there were Puma sales at TM so we went to have a look. Aunties were everywhere. Scary stuff. Puma had their bags with up to 80 percent discount, and they're nice-looking too.


Baby vs. The Fist

There was this particular baby who gave Valerian a tap on his shoulder. Not once, but twice. Maybe he likes Val (hehe). The child looked kinda cute, and he kept his eyes fixed on us the entire time. That's Val's fist by the way(glad his mum didn't notice).

I wasn't feeling too well today. The fever has gone down(and hopefully, stays down), but i've a bloated stomach. It sort of killed my appetite at dinner. Please, bloated stomach, go away. Reached home at around 615pm and had a long rest on the couch.

Shall go dive into those notes lying on my desk. Then, more TANKMEN!

Goodbye.

Geeetah Heeeroh

Itchy fingers and a straying mind are what led me here.

Today's Tuesday. Means there's the weekly Digital Life! It's almost becoming a habit, i've been reading almost every issue.

There's an interview on the creators of Guitar Hero. They're brothers! Surprising. My first encounter was with its third sequel, GH3 Legends of Rock. Played at Parkway whilst on an outing with og8 several months ago. Immediately hooked. I was having so much fun i didn't want to go back to dinner. Sadly, i had to part with the wireless guitar after 15 mins.

It's 3pm. I just watched a couple of episodes of Salad Fingers. Queer cartoon. Moving on, Nuclear Physics!

More on GH and other stuff, later.

Siao liao.



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Had dota with SPC to kill the evening boredom. He left his friends to play with me, i felt so guilty. Very much appreciated bro! Thanks man (:

Game was fine till our teammates left. We lost eventually. But, fun.

Off to dinner.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just closed the last page on Normal Distribution. I guess thats about it for the night, for i'm having one hell of a nasty headache. I'm blogging as i wait for my dad to get out of the bathroom so i can bathe and join Vishnu on Bnet.

Shockingly, ryan just told me that bloody Nuclear Physics isn't tested! I spent a load of my afternoon time on it. Just my luck.


GH on Digital Life


Zeus was a Guitar Legend?

Okay, back to Guitar Hero. Its easily one of my favourite games, because there's GOOD music, and you'll just feel like a rockstar. Yeah, the boss battles include Slash, and, there's DragonForce songs too. Nice. Gamespot rates it 8.0/10 for the Xbox360(lower for the PS2 though).




I've been wanting the game real bad, but the PC version of it is resource-heavy. Shan't try. But, i've got alternatives! Tried other freeware clones(there are MANY out there) of the game, and surprisingly they aren't bad. I recommend Frets on Fire! The only problem is that the user-made song charts aren't up to standard as the GH ones, so you'll have to bear with the low-res sounds sometimes. Do give it a try though.

Newgrounds cartoons are good. I've been watching them for leisure these days. Some of them are funny and some are, well bizarre. Catching Salad Fingers again later(hehe). Powerful stuff.

Oh my dad's out. Just in time, too. Bathe and then, Bnet!(hopefully it cures the nails in my head)

Goodbye.
