Infra-Red Blues
Posted By Lester Chan at 21:50 in Blog

Woke up at 12pm to talk to my girlfriend, as she is online, and will be online only for a while, so better seize the chance. LOL. Went to Great World City for lunch, ate Tepanyaki at the food court there. Long time since I ate that.

Came back study my DEUI notes for the 3rd time, later on play abit of UT2K3 and play around with my handphone, discovered some very useful functions, like automatic keyguard, operator logo on/off, etc.. Dinner was ate at home, my mom cooked, long time since I ate dinner at home. Hehe

E-mailed Nokia Care yesterday about the error I encountered, the customer service person called me this morning, and told me that the suite/phone is best used with Internal or Serial Infra-Red. Obviously I do not take that for an answer, didn’t bothered to argue with him, as they will normally beat around the bush and back to the same point.

After studying, I tried the Infra-Red again, but to my surprise, it works this time, I was so happy, so immediately transfer some images and my operator logo, wanted to convert and transfer the polyphonic ringing tones, but there is some problem, the midi file transferred over is only 0.2kb and it is blank. Need to figure out what is the problem. Hehe

Will be having my DEUI exams tomorrow from 6pm to 8.10pm, yes 8.10pm in the night, that is so late. Sighz, hope can make it for this paper. Good luck to those taking this paper too. =)

New Phone
Posted By Lester Chan at 20:40 in Blog

Woo, bought my Nokia 7210 from M1 Shop at Paragon, cost $578, but trade-in my Nokia 8310, minus $200, so I pay only $378. Hehe =) Nokia 7210 is cool, so far no bugs encountered except on how to establish a connection to my PC. I got an error “IrSocketAPI error(0×80043205, NokiaCL.ServiceLayer)” whenever I try to select my Nokia 7210 after my WinXP has detected it. Weird error, I don’t think there is any problem with my PC or phone, I think it is Nokia PC Suite 5.0 problem. Hmm, has emailed Nokia Care about it, hope they can reply me asap. Can’t wait to upload some MIDI ringtones and graphics to my phone.

Came back at about 1.30pm, studied DEUI with breaks in between until dinner time with is about 7pm, mom cooked. Tomorrow will be a study day for me, will spend the whole day studying DEUI, as that is my first exams on 22nd October 2002. =)

School is over for me, but I still got another 2 more weeks till my exams is over.

Overslept
Posted By Lester Chan at 21:29 in Blog

Overslept in the morning, long time since I overslept, suppose to wake up at 9am, in the end woke up at 9.30am. If not for my girlfriend sms, I think I will wake even later. Suppose to meet in school at 10am, so no choice but to ask my dad to fetch me to school, taking bus will require at least 30 minutes, with car, only 15 minutes. Hehe.

Watch many videos done by our fellow coursemates, too bad due to time constraints, they did not show the video which I acted in, so sad. After everything, went to Marina Square and ate Hans for lunch with the Lianz Tong , just for your information, I think Marina Square is the worst Hans branch. Hehe

Came back slept until 8.30pm then went Maxwell for dinner. Hmm, I think will start studying tomorrow, last day of enjoyment will be today.

WWWP Assignment Deadline
Posted By Lester Chan at 20:59 in Blog

Today is WWWP assignment deadline, was the first group to be interviewed, because I volunteered to be the first, the first to start, the first to go. After the interview went to Clementi for lunch, ate the Wan Ton Mee there, ordered $3, and the portion was so much, almost cannot finish, next time I shall not order $3. LOL

Went back to school to attend DEUI lecture, was 15 minutes late, but apparently there are less than 30 students in the lecture theatre, where it suppose to have at least 80 students. Completed my DSAL assignment in school after the DEUI, fixed almost all bugs and implemented some stuffs. It can be considered done, and the deadline and interview for this assignment is tomorrow. Woot.

Went to Bugis with my girlfriend for dinner, ate the same thing I ate last time, sliced fish curry, woo, it is so nice.

That’s mark the end all of all my assignments/projects for this semester, time to concentrate on my exams which starts on 22nd October 2002 and end on 1st November 2002. Good luck to all DMMT students.

Nokia 7210
Posted By Lester Chan at 23:12 in Blog

WOo, went to school in the morning to do CANI, almost never do anything at all, most of the work all done by Reaper. Waited for my girlfriend to finish CANI, then we set off to Orchard Road for a walk with Jean and Zhi Wei. Had a light meal at Wisa foodcourt, ate the Hakka Yong Tao Foo, recommended by City Beat. It is delicious. Went to Hello@Orchard, they have a promotion there, saw the 7210, meddle with it a while, it is so nice, the colours, icons, ringing tones, told my mom that I will be getting it within this month. Hehe. Later on went to Cineleisure Long John Silver for dinner.

Posted By Lester Chan at 23:45 in Blog

Today is IWED assignment2 deadline, didn’t edit since yesterday, handed in way before the deadline which is 5pm, lecturer will be conducting an interview with our group on Tuesday at 11am. Left school at about 3.30pm, didn’t do much stuffs in school excpect for DSAL assignment, the progress looks good, hope I can finished it by the deadline.

Went to Orchard for shopping, bought UT2K3 at PK Computer store for $64.90, free 1 poster, and the poster is very nice and big. Ate dinner at Orchard Point food court, the Korean food there is nice, but didn’t try it because the queue is so long, anyway the food court food sucks except maybe for that Korean food.

Tomorrow is a Saturday, will be going to school to add in the sound effects for my group CANI assignment 2, leaving my computer on overnight to render the CANI scene.
