My ITP more or less done. Now left with testing and debugging.

Went to jog with my friends at Queenstown Stadium, finally can jog 2.4km non-stop. Did train on pull up with the help of them. I hope every week I can increase 400m in running and try to do pulll-up. If everything goes on well, when PTP come, I can get silver for IPPT at the end of the 2 weeks, and then my BMT will start in August according to CMPB.

I think we are not fated to have dessert after running. Went to the hawker center opposite Queenstown Stadium and there is a dessert store but it is closing. Sigh.

List of movies that I intend to watch/download when it is out:

» Kill Bill 2
» Dawn Of The Dead
» Van Helsing
» Spiderman 2
» Harry Potter 3
» The Day After Tomorrow
» Resident Evil 2
» Garfield
» Alien vs Prediator

Here are some images to share with you all. Some are not work safe but they are not porn.

Suppose to go to Queenstown Stadium for a jog with my secondary school friends, but there is a soccer match going on there, thus we went back to SP. The track there was very dark but it was rather cooling. I managed to jog for 2km without stopping, but the bad side is that my timing was around 15 minutes and I need to get less than 11 1/2 minutes for 2.4km in order to get silver for my IPPT.

After jogging we went to Clementi for dessert and realize that the whole of Clementi Central do not even have a single dessert store.

Met up with my supervisor today in SP Main library, had a hard time configuring the Wireless LAN, end up have to ask help from the CIS department. There are very helpful and friendly. I think SP have 2 wireless LAN network, because the campus wide surf zone requires you to login while wireless LAN network around ICT blocks do not require you to do so and it is much much much faster.

Got my 3rd month pay and a Certificate of Commendation for being placed on the school’s director roll for academic excellence in 2003/2004 semester 1.

CMPB called my mom and said it is impossible to get 3 days off during PTP, and that does it. The phrase quoting “do not ask what your country can do for you but ask what can you do for your country” is F bullshit. If your country can’t even give you 3 days off for urgent things, why the F do you want to do things for your country. Almost everything here is F up. F up government, F ISP and even the weather is F up. This song “Limp Bizkit - Hot Dog” goes likes this: It is a F up world, a F up place…..

When there is a war, rest assured I will NOT fight for Singapore, I will be one of the first few F to leave. I will just served 2 1/2 years of NS as a pay back to the government and F off after that.

*Update* Censored to protect myself since it has something to do with government. Replace F with your imagination.

Yesterday, woken up by a call from CMPB. SP have informed them about the WSC and want me to defer. If I want to defer, I need to write in a personal letter. But now the problem is, I don’t want to defer because if i defer most probably I will go in PTP after August and I will ORD later also which is around 1st quarter of 2007 and thus most probably I will miss the University intake and have to wait for 1 more year.

I just want to take the 3 days off for the WSC and according to CMPB, that is more difficult than deferring. If I go in on 9th June, I will ORD around end of 2006 and just nice I can enter University in 2007. The government is really fucking around with our lives especially guys. My dad say he will go to see the MP and ask me don’t defer. If really worst come to worst, I will fore go the WSC.

Today suppose to meet my supervisor for my ITP but last minute he could not make it. Had a huge lunch gather in school today with my classmates. Was quite happy as we can see each other and it seems we have alot to talk about. The only thing I miss about SP is the food and maybe the lecturers. Total 14 of us met up, SuQin, Laily, Serene, LiXiang, Jean, Karen, Charlene, Geargina, Sabrina, Robert, Ron, Hafiz, Ismail and Razine. Ron was there to take his NAPFA, and I could not physco him not to go. Hafiz was on MC and he got nothing to do, so he went to school.

Saw ZhiFan, ChinPoh, Darren, WenHui, Max, MingFoo and ChoonSing in the lab 2054. Is good to see familiar faces around.

Watched Paycheck last night and it was quite a good show and the storyline is not bad, similar to Butterfly Effect and Timeline. The power of reverse engineering.

Will be going jogging at Queenstown Stadium with my friends later.

Had a Bh Chou Mee lunch with my parents at Marina Square followed by some drinks at NYDC.

Met up with XiuYu and HuiJuan for Passion Of Christ at GV Marina. The show is slightly more than 2 hours. I find the movie just average. No offense but I find it quite dramatic also. The makeup unit has done an excellent job. Regarding gory, I find it ok only, I have seen more gory film like Battle Royal and Kill Bill.

Had a chill out session at Millenia Walk. The ambiance at The Coffee Connection(TCC) was fantastic. And it was not crowded which makes it a great place to chill out. I gave them a treat because they could not make it for my birthday dinner.

Had dinner at NYDC again, and on our way there, we saw Mr Clarence Ng in Suntec. He said he saw me and was standing beside me during the UT2K4 competition in Sim Lim Square, didn’t notice that.

We did delicate a song and a message at the Fountain, but no idea whether the DJ played it as we can’t really hear/see it in NYDC. The computer system used for the delication sucks.

Thanks XiuYu and HuiJuan for the nice Dragonball figurine. I shall get all 4 of them soon.

On a side note, I find all these NKF show is bullshit. For every dollar you donate only $0.52 goes to the patient. On top of that you still need to pay 5% GST which is $0.25 and it goes to Singtel. Forum thread on this issue. If those artist are really that good in heart, why not take out half of their salary and donate instead. And NKF should really cut down on the advertisements and save the money for their patient instead.

Been a real busy Good Friday and Saturday. Not enough sleep on Friday night and now I am going to sleep soon. While waiting for my hair to dry, shall post this blog.

On Good Friday, used my dad’s car for the whole day. Went to fetch Serene, Jackey and Laily to LiXiang house. Jackey and I dyed our hair at her house. It seems that we always use LiXiang’s house when we want to dye our hair. Thanks Xiang!

While waiting for our hair to set which we intend to give it 2 hours, we watched Matrix’s Revolutions again. These time it was very successfully. The colour can be seen easily unless you got a stamp on your eyes. While washing my hair after 2 hours, no colour came down, it is just water and foam. But the previous time, alot of colouring came down together with the water.

Went to Harbour Front for a late dinner. We had Yoshinoya, and the bloody counter girl have a SERIOUS attitude problem. Take our order like taking her life. Then the way she place the food and utensils on the tray is by throwing and not putting. We fill up a suggestion form and hope the management can do something about it. Nowadays there is an INCREASING amount of people with attitude problem especially in the food business.

Walked to Sentosa and checked out the riverboat restaurant. We had 3 milkshakes and a chips and dips. It was good. The price was quite reasonable and the ambiance was excellent. The restaurant serve American-Mexican Food and I think is famous for the big burgers.

Sent Serene home afterwards as she need to reach home early. Then We went for supper at the Cheese Prata Shop. Really drove the whole day and my leg is tired. Reached home at 3am and slept at 4am.

Today woke up at 9am and met up with Jackey at ICA building to renew his passport. The building was really crowded. But it was quite fast considering the amount of people. It take less than 1 hour to extend a passport.

Came home took a 2 hours short nap and met up with my friends at Suntec City. Went to orchard later and walked till my leg is aching. I really take my hats off those people who can really walk (like my mom). Didn’t realize The Nudle Bar in Heeren is gone, abit wasted. I kinda like the food there.

Will be watching Passion Of Chris tomorrow. Hope it will not upset my appetite.

Went to watch Hellboy at GV Grand by myself. Sounds like a date with myself. The show is around 2 hours(excluding those stupid GV advertisements). From my point of view, I find the show more interesting than Spiderman or Dare Devil, thus I would say is better than the two. Thumbs up.

Had dinner with Jackey and co at Crystal Jade at Ngee Ang City. The food was rather expensive but it was quite ok. Had dessert at Swensens at Crown Prince Hotel after that. As usual, that Swensen outlet is always crowded. Spend $30 just on food today. Ouch.

Saw the 2nd trailer for The Day After Tomorrow, which opens here on 28th May 2004. It was awesome especially the visual effect. I will definitely catch this movie before I go in NS and I think it will be my last movie.

I am very excited about Resident Evil 2.

Today, met up with Patrick, my primary school mate. He said want to introduce don’t know what business to me. It is MLM, but since he is a friend of mine for more than 10 years, I give him face and went. I never like those MLM shit anyway.

Ate lunch at Lao Pa Sat, and surprising the food that is not that expensive, I think is cheaper than some food court. Went to his office place at the building opposite SGX Center. I think the company name is called NIT Paris or something. He said the company is not MLM but called network marketing. I find it is the same shit but different smell. I never believe in those crap anyway. Conclusion, I never join. If it is so easy to earn money, I don’t see why there are poor people among Singapore.

Went for jogging again with Calvin. Now my whole body aches.

Frozen banana dip with chocolate absolutely taste heavenly. Hagan Daz called it Fonde I think

Had dinner yesterday at Country Mana in Great World City. They are having their 11th anniversary promotion. Set dinner for $7.99 and another $1.99 for soup and another $1.99 for desert. The food was ok but not filling enough. Give me Ponderosa anytime.

Today had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant called Vietlang in CHIMES. Luckily the restaurant has no dress code. The ambiance was rather good, the price of the food was quite reasonable. The food was ok but it tastes more Thai to me.

Finally continued work on my ITP after a few days of rest, hope to complete the whole programming part before this weekend and I can start on my documentation/user’s manual. The deadline given to me for the whole project is 19th April 2004.

For a start, went jogging today with Calvin, not to sure I ran how how much. But I am sure it is less than 2km. Will increase the distance as time goes by. I must make an effort to run at least 2 times per week and need to train on my weak arms.

On Friday went to Phuse’s house to help in solve his computer problem. After staying there for 6 hours, we still can’t solve it because his motherboard is a goner.

We had dinner at Kopitiam beside West Mall, the Ban Mian there rocks. $4, very big portion, lots of ingredients and taste good!

Yesterday, went out with Jackey, Laily and LiXiang to shop around Orchard. I bought the Matrix Revolution DVD while LiXiang bought all the 3 part VCDs. Saw 1 Crumpler bag that cost $89, think will be getting that. Bought a hair dye also together with Jackey, going to get my hair coloured again this Good Friday.

NS is in 2 more months, so whatever I like to do, better do it fast. Suddenly I feel my life is shortened to just 2 months.

Met up with my secondary school friends at around 10pm in Orchard’s Starbucks, as usual talk about alot of army stuffs as 2 of us will be going in soon. Need to ask for some advice or rather ask them to give us advice on what to do and what not to do and what to bring and what not to bring.

Met up with Jackey and Co at Jurong Point for dinner. Wanted to eat Fish & Co, but most of them are on budget constrain., thus we went to the foodcourt for our dinner. I ate the fried fish steamboat, the fried fish is nice but the soup is too milky. Geargina and Terry also ate from the same stall but we purposely ordered different dish. Apparently their soup taste better. =(
