The game I've awaited for two years, Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, has gone gold, shipping to retailers worldwide on 3 July. Start saving: the collector's edition runs S$110, the standard $60, though prices aren't confirmed.
The site went down but it's back, so I'll resume updates. Ecuador beat Croatia 1-0, Mexico drew 1-1 with Italy; Italy scored some, but the offside flag went first. From Group G, Mexico and Italy advance.
Updated the stats: for Group B, Spain and Paraguay advance to the second round. In non-World-Cup news, CS 1.5 and HL 1.1.1.0 are out; grab them from CS Nation or paGn. Argentina out after drawing Sweden.
Sad but true: France are out of World Cup 2002. From Group A, Denmark and Senegal advance to the second round; from Group E, Germany and the Republic of Ireland go through. Denmark beat France 2-0.
Skipped today's matches to watch ET at Cineleisure Orchard, bought two Fourskin t-shirts at Heeren, home by 8.45pm. Portugal are back in form, thrashing Poland 4-0 with Pauleta's hat-trick. Tomorrow brings four matches, none at 5pm.
Prayed in the morning, Swensen's at Liang Court for lunch, bought Levi's, and home to sleep most of the day. Warcraft III news: yesterday's papers carried an ad for the launch at Funan on 1 July.
Brazil led 3-0 at half-time, but the second half dragged with only Ronaldo's goal; clean game, 20 fouls and three free kicks. I'd hoped for a trademark Roberto Carlos free kick. China did a good job.
Missed the first two matches: dim sum at the World Trade Centre, then browsing Jurong Point. Rushed back for the last, best match yet, a clash of titans, though wasteful: David Beckham scored the only goal.
The first match was exciting; Senegal's defence held strong while Denmark's faltered. Skipped the second, not fussed. France versus Uruguay was thrilling too, plenty of chances, but both sides unlucky as the ball wouldn't go in.
Out shopping, so missed the matches, a disappointing set too. Portugal lost 3-2 to USA, Germany drew 1-1 with Ireland; both strong sides should've won, but the ball is round. Another France-Senegal upset in the making.
Watched the day's first match, quite boring, so I only caught the first half. China showed some improvement, just short on experience. Eager for the Brazil-China clash this Saturday, 8 June, at 7.30pm. The second half.
Missed first two matches. Went to school to teach a friend maths and databases, then basketball from 3 to 6pm. Rushed home for the last; Ecuador's passing was superb. Croatia 0 Mexico 1, Brazil won 2-1.
Stayed home all day with a few friends over, watching all four World Cup matches. Disappointed by England-Sweden. Results: Argentina 1 Nigeria 0, Paraguay 2 South Africa 2, England 1 Sweden 1, and Spain won 3-1.
Out most of the day, so missed every match, gutted, especially Germany thrashing Saudi Arabia 8-0. Day 2 in summary: Ireland 1 Cameroon 1, Uruguay 1 Denmark 2, and Germany 8 Saudi Arabia 0. More tomorrow.
Today, 1 June 2002, marks the official launch of the new GamerZ Personal Homepage, with an Image Module, Shout Module, Poll Module, and a blog system letting you comment on my posts. All powered by PHP.
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 23 May, so please bear with me.
Welcome to the GamerZ Personal Homepage; this is where it all begins. The very first post, really just a test of the new blog system. From here on, this becomes my little corner of the internet.
Site done, all the pages are complete. From now until 19 April, I'll be checking for bugs, typos and grammar across the whole lot; no new sections or pages, just minor tweaks over the coming week.
Today's the deadline to hand this website up. Once it's marked, I'll convert it from .htm to .php for easier updates, then add a link database, news scripts, polls and more. The power of PHP awaits.
Bugs fixed, with extras added, including an Audio Module that plays a song as you surf. The main URL is being re-routed and will be back normal this Friday, 19 April. A backup site is up.
The site's about 80% done, most pages complete bar Downloads, Links, Portfolio and Family. The feedback form now validates required fields, programmed in PHP; email me if you want the source. Eleven days to the deadline.
