DSAL Pratical Test
Spent the whole afternoon studying for tomorrow's DSAL practical test. Went to Changi Airport Terminal 1 to fetch my uncle, dinner at the Swensen's there. My baby cousin is finally out of hospital after two months.

Meet Up
Met my poly friends at Tiong Bahru Plaza for lunch at foodcourt, long since my last, with new stalls. They came to my place for CANI assignment 1 storyboarding; my art sucks, so I barely helped.
Eight Legged Freaks
Watched Eight Legged Freaks at GV Marina, an hour 45, more funny than scary. No idea why 8 Days rated it 2.5 stars; it deserves 3.5 or higher. That's eight movies this August, nearly $85 spent.
Lilio & Stitch
Watched Lilo & Stitch this afternoon, 90 minutes, not bad. Disney cartoons rarely fail. Slept at 5am the other night after some Worms 2; didn't win a single round of mahjong, no luck gambling at all.
Acting Part II
Posting from Jack's house. One round of mahjong and I lost, didn't win a single round. They're watching TV; we'll resume later. Earlier I was at a classmate's place filming from 1pm to 6pm, dragging forever.
Acting Part I
Woke early. 10am counts as early for me. Went to school to act in a friend's video-production assignment. First shots were all NG while we warmed up; shooting began at 12pm, by 3pm we'd hit our stride.
Austin Powers : Gold Member
Watched Austin Powers: Goldmember today. I'd had a poor impression beforehand, but it turned out decent, lame yet funny at once. Ate Seoul Garden first; it's changed a lot, though we enjoyed the buffet as always.
Tim Sum
Went to Robinsons at Centrepoint with my family. My dad bought a pen for $200-plus. Dim sum at Lei Garden Seafood Restaurant in Orchard Plaza, the best I've ever had; my whole family goes nowhere else.
Triple X
Watched Triple X at Suntec City, about two hours, a must for action-movie lovers, with non-stop action throughout. Also discovered the trip from Hougang to my place takes 90 minutes. Heading out with my poly friends.
IWED Done
Bugis after school shopping with Alvin and Jacky: teppanyaki at food court, then Suntec. Walking to Raffles City, we passed the U2 shop at City Link, spotted a shirt and all three of us bought one.
Diamaru Closing Down
Discovered SP's servers hold games, playing UT and Quake 3 illicitly when no lab tech was around. There's FIFA and NBA Live; I wonder if they'll add Warcraft III. My IWED assignment 1 around 1,000 words.
Handed In Assignments
Finished watching Tomorrow Never Dies and Dante's Peak on Channel I and 5. Both started at 10pm, so I kept flicking between them. I'd seen both in cinema years ago; rewatching on TV refreshes my memory.
Assignments Deadline
Printed my P&Q2 Assignment 2 to bind tomorrow, and the CANI assignment 1 report, all ready for submission. Had my entrepreneurship presentation in the afternoon, which went smoothly. Today's IWED practical was a waste of time.
P&Q 2 Almost Done
My P&Q2 assignment 2 is almost done, just the cover and contents pages left, 2,300 words excluding the summary. Didn't do much after school: slept till 9pm, had dinner, then wrapped the last bit of P&Q.
National Day Rally 2002
Every local TV channel carried the National Day Rally 2002 live, delivered by Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong. With nothing else to do, I watched it, interesting, and it taught me plenty about Singapore. Stayed home.
Worms 2
School for the entrepreneurship assignment 1, then Alvin and gang came over to do the PowerPoint slides, a short presentation, just 14 of them. Played Worms 2 after, five players in one game, so fun, old-school.
CANI Again
Learnt rigging in CANI practical, basically boning your character, not too hard. In DEUI tutorial, my classmate Zhi Fan's presentation had us all in stitches; the way he talks is hilarious. Stayed at school till 5pm.
Slackers Day
Did nothing all day. Meant to do P&Q2, but had no drive. School was boring too; spent both my WWWP and DEUI practicals surfing the internet and playing Literati, four hours total. Even DSAL practical dragged.
CANI Done
My CANI assignment 1 is done: rendered 26 seconds, 650 frames, in 54 minutes, then imported to Premiere and added the music. About 15.6MB, report included. P&Q2 assignment 2 tomorrow, then just IWED left to finish.
Woo This Site For Ripped
This site got ripped off; I discovered it this morning while checking my Extreme Tracking at school with nothing to do. The ripper's whole site, even his current version 3.1, is lifted straight from mine. Cheeky.
CANI Assignment 1 Deadline Extended
CANI assignment 1's deadline got extended to Wednesday, 21st August; the lecturer announced it after many student requests. I've finished the report, 600-plus words with four pictures, and I'll render the animation tomorrow if all goes well.
Site Coding Updated
Some site updates, mostly coding: bumped the blog scripts from pre3 to pre4, added an 'Email This Article' feature, a 'Referers' tracker for where visitors come from, and page navigation to the image gallery's thumbnail view.
