Personal posts and the diary I have kept since 2002: birthdays, year-in-reviews, milestones, and whatever is on my mind.
Finally animating something semi-realistic after today's CANI practical, six weeks till the first assignment deadline. Played Warcraft III over BattleNet for the first time since buying the original box, with Reaper, Faze, Maxima, Phuse and others.
Learnt the most important part of computer animation, according to my lecturer: 'The Function Curve'. Fail to grasp it and you fail the module. Also finished coding my schooling reference page, simple stuff. Tomorrow's another day.
Second week of school: learnt to write, read and delete files and folders in Java. I could whip up a virus to wipe C:\Windows, evil laugh. Cured fishie's computer; she's back online. Added friend's party photos.
Ikea in the afternoon for lunch with my family, as my uncle was furniture-shopping for his new house. Spotted a CD rack holding 880 CDs, noted measurements, checked at home; it fits nicely, I'm getting it.
Had a seafood buffet lunch; it sucked, all I can say. Then to Orchard, where we split up: three friends and I watched Minority Report at Plaza Singapura, while the rest went to East Coast Park.
School ended at 1pm, then teppanyaki at Bugis Junction with my poly classmates. Funan, I bought a Microsoft SideWinder gamepad for $39.90 to play FIFA World Cup 2002. Out at 6:30pm for three friends' birthday presents.
Happy 4th of July to all Americans, their Independence Day. Just home from a 'breakful' school day, 4.5 hours of breaks. In OOPG we used to code user GUIs by hand; there's a faster drag-and-drop way.
School ended at 11:30am, home by 12.30, shattered after sleeping at 2am and waking at 8. Did body modelling in my first CANI practical; it looks good, if more cartoon than human. The lecturer approved anyway.
Posting from school; first practical of the semester and the lecturer's late, due at 10am, now 10.30 with no sign of him. Just reset my login password, since some of us, me included, couldn't log in.
Back from school, plenty of breaks, since there are no tutorials first week. Met four of my seven lecturers; I'll know them all by week's end. No escaping Java again, after taking it in Year 1.
Sorry for the lack of updates, a busy week. Back from a 3-day chalet at Pasir Ris Downtown East with my polytechnic classmates; great fun and I enjoyed it thoroughly. A birthday chalet for four classmates.
Just waiting for time to pass so I can properly improve this site; I can't touch anything yet, unsure whether my lecturers have graded it. Results come out around 23rd May, so please bear with me.
