My First April’s Fool Joke
Posted By Lester Chan at 00:24 in Blog

Just watched finished Timeline. I kinda like the show, is nice at least for me. It is something like Butterfly Effect but less confusing. Thumbs up for the movie.

I also watched Love Actually again. As usual Singapore’s Censorship Board censor some parts of the movie. If you watched it in Singapore, you would miss a story about 2 porn stars who fell in love, the scene features nudity.

I really HATE movie being censored off, be it nudity or violence, it will just spoil the original movie. Thus, downloaded movies are always the best because they are no censorship at all.

Teens nowadays are just 1 click away from porn.

Damm it, got an April’s Fool Joke 7 minutes after 1st April 2004. Damm it. I am not going to believe anything for the day.

Singapore vs Japan
Posted By Lester Chan at 17:11 in Blog

Singapore will take on Japan tonight at Jalan Besar Stadium. It will be telecast live on Channel i at 8pm. The odds on Singapore Pools is kinda interesting. If you buy Singapore Win is $1 pay $15. Draw is $1 pay $9. Japan Win is $1 pay $1.05. I can confirm that 99% Singapore will lose. The remaining 1% is either referee kelong or they are damm luckly.

2010 is the year set by the minister for Singapore Team to go into World Cup is really a joke. Not say I don’t support our own team, but we need to be realistic. If you see how Singapore’s team play and how other country’s team play, you will see a huge difference. I would predict that Japan will beat Singapore 4 to 1.

Nowadays there are a rising number of food vendors that have attitude problem. Throughout the whole transaction (Ordering Food, Collecting Food and Paying Food), it can be total silence. Even if you say “Thank You”, they do not even have a basic courtesy to say “Welcome”. That sucks.

Next time we should blacklist them, maybe an online database would help.

*Update* Woo, Japan win Singapore 2-1 quite disappointing. Singapore played like shit during the 1st half while Japan played very good. During 2nd half, Japan played like shit while Singapore played very good. Anyway, thumbs up for Singapore =D

Take a look at this thread, Grandson Married Grandmother. You can find all sorts of marriage in India. Imagine his father suddenly become his son.

The Haunted Mansion
Posted By Lester Chan at 16:55 in Blog

Went to pray my grandmother yesterday to avoid the crowd next week due to Ching Ming Festival. Apparently almost everyone think the same and at the temple it is pretty crowded.

Watched Darren and Evelyn Wedding on Channel U. It was pretty grand and I think the wedding must be very expensive, but I think is kinda worth it as you normally only need to go through it one time. Money makes the world goes round.

Watched The Haunted Mansion today at home, it was kinda nice, especially the last part, quite touching. I expected it to be some crap and lame show but apparently it turn out to be the opposite. The singing statues is the funny!

Hope to catch Scooby Doo 2, LiXiang On? I just like cartoons!

Just 5 more weeks to the end of ITP!

Receive an invitation for the ICT D&D, it is at Traders Hotel and it cost $55, is very expensive, with that price I can eat 2 buffet dinner. I doubt I am going unless most of my friends are going.

Take a look at this thread, The Truth About Girls.

Unreal Tournament 2004 Competition
Posted By Lester Chan at 22:02 in Blog

Met up with my team today for the competition at Sim Lim Square. Just before the match starts, there alot of cock up, thus the whole match was delayed for about 45 minutes. We got trashed by Ash Team 2 16-0, we trashed BDay Team 8-0. The 3rd match was a walked over because the other team back out. Our 2nd match end at 7.45pm and we are suppose to wait till 3.30am for the next match and our next opponent is the best UT clan in Singapore. We saw them play and make the decision to forfeit because it is impossible to win them. On overall the match system suck, it is not about endurance, it is about waiting or rather overnight gaming. Thumbs down to the organizer.

And I think alot of teams forfeit too. We are not sore losers but smart losers, why wait for 6 hours to play UT and can’t even get any prizes while you can play it at the comfort of your own home. =D

Anyway, I got a free new design fourskin t-shirt because of my birthday. =D

Paradiz Center
Posted By Lester Chan at 23:52 in Blog

Met up with my #pixel.junkies friends for a LAN training session at IRC at Parklane, the computer there kinda suck especially the graphics card, price pretty standard, $2.50 per hour.

Luckily I was around Parklane area because the organizer of the UT2K4 competition called me up at 6.30pm and ask me to meet at the LAN shop opposite Parklane to draw lots for the match at 9pm. Got A5 as my team number. The match SYSTEM SUCKS. The person who thought of that is an idiot. Ours is the first match and also the last match, people normally start early and end early, ours is start early end late.

Hang around City Link Pacific Coffee to talk about some strategy, hope we can at least get 3rd or something which I think is very hard or rather impossible (lets be realistic), but the prizes are very attractive though.

There are 16 teams, split into 8-8, each team will fight 7 matches and each matches will last 45 minutes. The competition will last from 2pm to 4pm the next day. Our in-between break is around 4 hours, don’t know what are we going to do with that 4 hours when it comes to midnight or in the morning.

I didn’t realize Paradiz Center has gone through a major renovation and it looks so nice now unlike last time.

Wish me luck guys =D

My 20th Birthday
Posted By Lester Chan at 00:24 in Blog

Celebrated my 20th birthday with Jackey, Johnson, Terry, LiXiang, Serene, Suqin and Laily at Suntec City’s Joaquim Buffet Restaurant. The food was quite okie but the company you are eating with is great.

Went to Esplanade later and they gave me many presents there. I love all the presents and Laily did one portrait in vector arts of the 9 of us. That present is priceless, I really love it. Thanks Bong!

When we are Esplanade there is also a girl who is celebrating her birthday, but not sure how old is she, And Terry asked me to make friends with her, maybe I should actually. =p

Received a SMS from my lecturer and he told me that I am in the finals of the WSC: Web Trade which will be held on 1st July 2004, I was quite overjoyed. Another great birthday present for me!

Thanks for all of you all the greetings.

The Butterfly Effects
Posted By Lester Chan at 23:53 in Blog

Met up with Zeus today for a Ba Chou Mee lunch at Marina Square. Caught The Butterfly effects. It is a good show, interesting and unique storyline and least confusing as the Runaway Jury but still can be confusing. Thumbs up for this movie.

Met up with Jackey and co to help me dye my hair at LiXiang House, quite pai say, 4 people help me out in that. Thanks Jacky, LiXiang, Laily and Serene! You all are the best.

Heard from alot of my classmates that SP network had been affect by w32.witty.worm, and it specifically target Blackice Firewall and RealSecure applications. What the virus will do are all random and very hard to spot on.

Will be meeting my Supervisor tomorrow morning in SP, sigh, have to wake up so early.

As I am dying my hair for the first time, the colour IS NOT OBVIOUS at all, shall dye it again next week or so (hint hint =p).

Just a few more minutes.

Runaway Jury
Posted By Lester Chan at 02:11 in Blog

Saturday was a busy day, was out all the way from 10am to 4am. Went with LiXiang to apply for passport, to my surprise it only takes 10 minutes. Fill up the form, pay and drop it into the box and next week your passport will be ready. It is so efficient. I did inquire when we need to change our IC, and it will be 30 years old, not immediately after NS.

Met up with Jacky for a shopping trip, bought a casual long sleeves shirt from Levi’s because I have a $20 voucher, so paid $59.90. Jacky bought a pair of Levi’s jeans and 2 t-shirts, while LiXiang bought a techno CD. Was quite surprised that she also like Techno/Trance because as far as I know, other that HuiJuan and I, no one really likes techno/trance.

Watched Runaway Jury at Plaza Singapura. It was a good movie, interesting storyline but I somehow do not understand the last part, if anyone can explain the last part starting from why the bad guy subordinate visited the mom’s house it would be great.

Was sitting at Mac Donalds when my secondary school friend called me up for supper and I went with them to Geylang to eat the Beef Hor Fun.

I came home at 4am and slept all the way till 5pm, that makes 13 hours of sleep. Finally started work on my ITP again after 3 days of not touching it. Really getting sick of doing programming.

A new poll topic has been posted. Vote away!

Unreal Tournament 2004
Posted By Lester Chan at 22:21 in Blog

Had dinner last night we Jackey and Co at Newton’s Food Center. We ordered lots of food but none of them taste good, just average. Head down to Orchard later for a walk.

Today, went to Funan to collect my DVD version of Unreal Tournament 2004 from Software Boutique. I regret buying from there because I got cheated 5 bucks. It wa selling at $69.90 while PK Computer was selling for only $64.90.

The game is good, so much better than UT2k3. Shall cut the crap, back to Resident Evil on Channel 5.

I can’t wait for Resident Evil 2.
