My 2006/2007 Semester 2 results: A- in Computing and Society, B- in Fundamentals of Information Systems, B+ in Enterprise Systems Development, C+ in Principles of Economics and B in Financial Accounting. My CAP is 3.35.
I caught Next last week at GV VivoCity; it was slightly above average. My eyes were glued to the screen practically throughout, as it's quite an action-packed film. Next up is Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
If you want to know what flavour your Anything or Whatever drink is, just check the ingredients label, since Singapore law requires the manufacturer to state the ingredients of that specific can. A neat workaround for these deliberately mystery-flavoured drinks.
Yes! Blizzard's new game is officially StarCraft II, which I've waited ages for. The reveal opens with an FMV in a Terran-looking spaceship, zooming onto a metal door that slides open to reveal a chained, cigar-chewing prisoner.
WordPress 2.2 has been released, and as usual I've updated GaMerZ.WordPress to it. Among the goodies, WordPress Widgets let you easily rearrange and customise areas of your blog, usually sidebars, with simple drag-and-drop.
I caught 28 Weeks Later at The Cathay, my first visit there. The building is confusing and the carpark cramped, so GV VivoCity still rocks. The film was only average; I reckon 28 Days Later was better.
The Nokia N81 is a slide phone measuring 102 by 50 by 17.9mm and weighing about 140g, with 8GB internal flash, up to 12.5 hours of music playback and 15 days of standby.
I caught Spider-Man 3 at Lido with Li Xiang and her friends after a sushi buffet at Suki Sushi. That was my first and last time there, as the food is poor; Sakae Sushi is far better.
I'd wanted two Crumpler bags from a HardwareZone mass order, but it fell through and I got my refund. I paid promptly, while others refused to pay and backed out when the organiser tried to place the order.
My exams are finally over; never have I been this stressed except at NUS. The competition is so high and the students seem ten times smarter, which makes you feel ten times dumber.
Blizzard got back to us about the rumour that StarCraft 2 will be announced next month at their Worldwide Invitational in Seoul. A Korean website says it's being developed in 3D with a new race.
My parents bought my brother and me each a King Koil queen-size bed, costing around $500 and arriving last Wednesday. Our previous mattress lasted ten years and the frame sixteen. Since the bed is big, I rearranged my room.
Before our movie we queued about 20 minutes for doughnuts at Vinco The Donut Parlour on VivoCity's second level, and they were disappointing, not fluffy at all, as if the doughnut had gone on a diet. Overhyped.
Adobe Creative Suite 3 has finally hit store shelves, in six flavours. Design Standard bundles InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat 8 Professional, while Design Premium adds Photoshop Extended and Flash.
Just following the trend, I've installed MediaWiki on my site. For the uninitiated, MediaWiki is the same software that powers Wikipedia. I plan to post things there that need frequent updating, starting with my WordPress plugins to-do list.
I love an iced caffe latte, and when I start work I hope there's a Starbucks nearby. My ranking, best to worst: Starbucks, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, Gloria Jean's, McCafe and Spinelli.
I caught Shooter on Sunday night, a film over two hours long that was slightly above average. The main character, Bob Lee Swagger, played by Mark Wahlberg, is practically an aimbot, with near-100% accuracy.
Li Xiang tagged me with this game: each player lists six weird things about themselves, then tags six others, who must blog their own six weird things and state the rules. Number one: I speak very fast.
I caught Sunshine at GV Jurong Point and the film was pure rubbish; I should have watched Shooter instead. This is the third consecutive time I couldn't watch in peace at GV Jurong Point, and I've no idea why.
Fifty memorable things for Singaporean teenagers, so sit back, enjoy and think back. Were you one of these? You grew up watching He-Man, Transformers, SilverHawks and Mickey Mouse, not forgetting the Ninja Turtles and the Smurfs.
Things you may not know, part one to thirty. Look at your zipper: the initials YKK stand for Yoshida Kogyo Kabushikigaisha, the world's largest zipper maker. Around 40% of McDonald's profits come from Happy Meals.
A raid by Malaysian authorities on a Johor Baru shop has turned up a customer list, which will be handed to the police here. The database of names, phone numbers and addresses was found on the shop's PC.
