Today marks my 2nd year in national service. I have officially wasted 2 years in national service, yay!

Just another 1 more month to clear leave and 2 more months to ORD.

World Cup 2006 starts tonight.

The Benchwarmers
As we got nothing to do on Sunday, we decided to catch a movie, it was kind of a last minute decision. We were choosing between The Benchwarmers and The Nun, but end up watching The Benchwarmers because we seldom watch horror show. My expectation for Benchwarmers was quite low, but it turn out to be opposite of what I expected, it was quite heart warming. It was very humorous that I almost laugh throughout the whole show.

Camp’s Internet Down
For the whole of last week, my camp’s Internet connection was down due to a lighting strike which causes the server to trip. But now it is back up and running.

My computer in camp was borrowed for some simulation exercise, so I am left with nothing but a laptop which is shared among my group members.

A computer without Internet is like a body without hands, if there is no computer and no Internet, it is like a body without hands and legs.

PC Show 2006
Went to the PC Show on Friday and it was damn crowded, I hate school holidays. Apple was not at this show. Memory prices are damn cheap. Kingston’s 1GB MiniSD card for like $37+, Sandisk 1GB MiniSD card for like $55+. If you are thinking of getting MiniSD card for your Nokia phone, it is recommanded for you to get Sandisk, because according to Hardware Zone, it is known that Kingston’s MiniSD card has conflict with Nokia’s phone. I am using a Kingston’s 1Gb SD card of my PDA and it works fine.

According to some stats, this IT exhibition (PC Show 2006) has the most number of visitors in 6 years.

It must be because of the Progress Package which is handed out on 1st May 2006. LOL

Upcoming IT exhibition
Comex 2006: Around September 2006 (No news yet)
Sitex 2006: 30th November 2006 to 3rd December 2006 (Singapore Expo Hall 3 & Hall 4)

World Cup 2006
World Cup 2006 will start this Saturday, 10th June 2006 at 00:00 (Singapore’s time), first match will be Germany vs Costa Rica.

25 workdays to go.

DotA Allstars v6.33 has been released. As usual, I have mirrored the map.

» DotA Allstars v6.33 (right click, save target as)

Here is the Changelog.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand
Caught X-Men 3 on Saturday with LiXiang, Laily and Suqin, luckily I book the tickets on Monday as it was selling like hot cakes.

The movie is around 2 hours long and it suppose to be the last installation of the X-Men trilogy. Somehow I find X1 was quite disappointing, X2 was not bad and X3 was average. This time much more CG was used, more mutants are showing their power now. CG was good, but storyline I felt it was a bit rushing, they try to compress everything into 2 hours. Nevertheless when Magneto lifted the Golden Gate Bridge, it was very spectacular. I seriously hope there is a X4.

Oh and remember to stay after the credits =)

Singapore Food Expo 2006
Went down to Singapore Food Expo 2006 on Sunday at about 8.30pm and it is still so crowded. This year they do not have my Abalone Noodle =(. But the mini cheese sausages, 8 for $2.00 is very nice. Here is a Group Photo taken in front of my mom’s stall. Thanks to Noel for the photo.

Dad’s Birthday
Yesterday is my dad’s birthday. He turns 50 yesterday. Don’t think of it as a 50th birthday but the 29th anniversary of your 21st birthday. LOL, I kinda like that quote taken from the birthday card we bought for him. Happy 50th Birthday Dad!

Over The Hedge
Caught Over The Hedge at GV Jurong Point on Friday. I kinda like the movie, so far one of the best cartoon movies I saw. From my point of view, I think it is better than In The Wild. But LiXiang thinks otherwise.

Supper At Bukit Timah
Met up with Suqin, Laily and Wei Jian after the movie for supper at Bukit Timah and boy it was crowded.

Redang
Will be going to Redang on the 10th July 2006 (Monday) and coming back on the 14th July 2006 (Friday) together with LiXiang. Finally our dreams came through after months of saying that we want a get away. Looking forward to the trip =D

The Da Vinci Code
Caught The Da Vinci Code at 11.50pm at GV Grand on Saturday. Again from my point of view, the movie is kinda nice because I had not read the story book. But for LiXiang who read the story book, she says that the movie was kinda lousy as it does not include many details.

Coca Steamboat
Celebrated my dad 50th birthday at Coca Steamboat at International Building located beside Shaw Center. The lunch buffet is $18+++ per adult and I think the price is very reasonable as it is a weekend lunch buffet. Food there was above average, the fish glue, green noodles and fried shreds of crab sticks is nice. We chose tom yum as our soup based and it is nice too, but just a bit spicy.

Apple iPod Nano 2GB
My brother bought an Apple iPod Nano 2GB from Apple Center @ Orchard as his 1GB iPod Shuffle is going to spoil any time.

Dual Monitor Rocks
Managed to get another Philips 170S Monitor and a DVI to Analog converter and now I am using dual monitor in my camp. It is so cool.

X-Men 3: The Last Stand
Will be watching X-Men 3 with LiXiang, Laily and Suqin this Saturday at GV Marina. I have booked the tickets =D. I read the First Magazine and it says that X-Men 3 will be the last installation to the X-Men Trilogy. For all X-Men fans out that, lets hope that their information is wrong.

19 Months Together
Today marks the 19th month that we have been together.
Happy 19 months to us my dear =D

No offense, but I find the following actions really retarded. Da Vinci Code protests widespread.

For god sake, it is just a FICTION movie. Wake up!
