Solitary Confinement

Cloudy Morning to a Rainy Afternoon

Hello i'm back.

Woke up around 10am to my home phone ringing. Dad called and asked me to wake my sis up for bowling training. She woke up, got prepared and left soon after. Won't see her again till at night, as usual.

The sky looked cloudy when i woke up in my living room(i fell asleep there last night). And not long after, it poured heavily. My house got kind of dark and gloomy. Zzzz. Went over to my grandparents' place for lunch, and my grandma cooked dried noodles! Haven't had them for like, 2-3 months? Finally got to eat them again.



Grandma's Beloved Noodles

Okay, the main joy of the day was that i FINALLY got my ePSX emulator to run Chrono Cross! Swee la! First it couldn't run on ePSXe ver. 1.7, so i downgraded to 1.6. It ran fine, till the character selection screen where everything froze in a black screen. So i googled for solutions, some said it was the PSX Bios at fault, some said game fixes were needed. After searching for some time, i just realised all i needed to do was to run the .exe file with a "-noauto" parameter -.-. Simple thing to do, and it ran well :) If you guys don't know, CC's the popular RPG sequel to Squaresoft's(makers of the FF series too, now they're SquareEnix) Chrono Trigger. Released in 2000, it was one great game. I know its a little late to play a year 2000 game, but who cares? Gamespot rates it a straight 10/10.


Gamespot's Chrono Cross Review

I'm controlling myself so i don't play this great game until everything's done and i'm free at night :) So the rest of the day was spent confined in my living room, studying probability and reaction kinetics. Oh, and i submitted my SGC achievements(AT LAST), via email to Mr Hsu(Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr Hsu!). Following that, I played pyramid escape on Bnet with SPC at 4.30pm, its quite a funny custom map, with so many mini games inside. During which, i heard some lady downstairs scolding her child or something. Her tone was really fierce and went something like this.

Lady: I TELL YOU NICELY YOU DON'T WANT DO, NOW I SHOUT AT YOU, THEN YOU LIKE THAT!
Child: *Sobs*
Lady: PIAK!

My hair stood as soon as i heard the sharp slap, i swear. I hope the poor child's alright. The rest of their dialogue was incoherent, so i didn't bother to listen. Sigh, my days nowadays(days days haha) are usually spent alone at home, until late at night(which is like 10pm?) where my parents and sister return from bowling. They're usually too tired to talk and we hardly speak a word to each other. It's been like that for weeks. I hope i don't drift too far from my parents, i hate the fact that i'm always the one they blame when anything goes wrong in the house, even when i'm totally not at fault. I'm getting tired of it, and when they do, i turn a deaf ear. We'll see how things go.

Ooh its almost dinner time. Off to my grandparents' place soon! Having chemistry consultation with Miss Sim tomorrow, 8am(zzz so early) at the air rifle range. Cherylnn and sheeping's coming along too! (better check my earmuffs haha) SPC can't make it, he's got his NS medical checkup. Don't worry, i will try to survive haha.

Okay i guess i'm off! Please do tag if you drop by!
Be back tomorrow, bye!

A New Beginning

So i've made a new blog.
But not to worry, it isn't like my other one.
If you didn't know about it, you can check it out here.
It's full of light-hearted and non-serious stuff, so if you're bored, why not?
Updates for it will come real soon, i promise :)

Okay, certain things have taken place recently and i don't really want to talk about them. Its just that it was the first time in my life that i had ever felt so sad, so down and out. I never realised it would hurt that bad until it happened. BUT, the past's the past, and its no use brooding over it. All good things come to an end, and so they did. I've got to keep going on with the pace of life (: Let's hit the books and get buried in them!


Ah, finally comes the time where i can sit down and type out a full-fledged post. Spent 4 hours experimenting with the likes of HTML, and FINALLY got the blog to look the way i want it to. I chose this simple template because i was getting sick of having to find blogskins. And toying around with HTML proved kinda beneficial too. This blog was made so i can have a platform through which i can express my personal thoughts and feelings. Moreover, blogging's more healthy than gaming right? My interest in games have diminished recently, probably i'm already outgrowing them. BUT, i still love gaming with friends, it provides some much-sought-after entertainment. So for now, its blogging for the win!



This is going to be one long post. I shall start from yesterday.

Monday

Planning to meet the pri 6 dudes at tampines mrt at 12. Was late because i missed the shuttle bus. Met kcc and altron at the shuttle bus drop point and waited for yinwei. Wushu master Kun wasn't there so kcc tried calling him, and to our shock, he was hospitalised. Changi General Hospital, Level 7, Ward 37, Bed 7 was the place, so we made plans and headed there straight. We arrived and heard from his mum that his previous appendicitis operation had caused complications to arise and ended up in him experiencing intestinal problems.

Kun looked so different, he was thinner than before(after being hospitalised for a week), and was hooked up to a nutrient drip. He had an operation last week if i'm not wrong, and they had tubes stuck into his stomach and bladder to drain out the fluids. Poor thing man. According to his mum, he was much better already and he would be discharged this Wed. Can't wait to see him again, so we're planning to meet up at his place sometime this week. Ah Kun ah! Get well soon! Use your CHI !

We left for altron's place soon after to catch the Singapore vs Uzbekistan 2010 World Cup Qualifier. The nation lost 3-7 i think. We kinda expected it although there was hope in the beginning when Singapore equalised twice. Go Singapore, don't give up! (There's always the 2014 WC haha)



Alright i guess thats quite a bit for a first post. Shall rest and post the 2nd part tomorrow. If you pass by, do drop a tag! It makes me happy. Until then, see you!
