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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Yesterday, my fucked up Internet connection disconnected 5 times. When I woke up this morning and I check my IRC log, it shows it disconnected another 5 times totally to 10 times within 24 hours. S*****b, if you are reading this please do something about your fucking Internet connection.

NONE of Singapore ISP is good. They should really wake up their fucking idea. Slow downstream and upstream speed and charge so expensive and worst of all, fucked up support.

Went to Funan yesterday because I thought UT2K4 was supposed to be launched yesterday, but who knows due to some airplane problems, shipment had been delayed to 19th March 2004 (Friday). I ordered my limited edition DVD version of the game at Software Boutique as it is the only store I know that sell the DVD version in the whole of Funan. No choice have to pay my NETS, sighz another $70 bucks gone. Can’t wait for my 3rd month pay.

Had lunch with my mom, grandmother and brother at Swensens and ate something light at Ya Kun later. I just loved Ya Kun Kaya Toast. Last time there was only 1 store at the very old Lau Pa Sat (it has already been demolished), now it has gone into franchise and thus, there are shops all over Singapore. Give the Ice Blended Tea Si Peng, Kaya Toast and Half-Boiled Egg a try. Don’t know why these days, I have been craving for half-boiled egg.

Went to Orchard yesterday. My brother bought lots of stuffs. My mom got herself a new handphone, same as mine Samsung s500. She used my grandfather line to upgrade and my grandfather took her old phone which is Nokia 7210.

We went to Suntec City for the Food Fair because my grandfather wanted to. It was extremely crowded. Carpark is full at Suntec, Marina and Millenia Walk. I suggested Esplanade’s Carpark and surprisingly it was quite empty. People ain’t as smart as me =p, just kidding. I went to the IT Fair 2004 for a while to get iSkin for my iPod and a 100 Imation CDRs. I realized that there are 3 different resellers, 1 is Apple Center, 1 is PA Mart and I have no idea what the last one is. I should get my iPod from the Apple Center, at least their plastic bag is nicer. I bought from PA Mart and they give me those wet market type plastic bag. Lessoned learned, always survey around and see where people buy from even if it is under the same brand booth.
