AND THERE'S A COUPLE QUARRELING SINCE FRIGGIN 8 IN THE MORNING!!!!
Oh for the love of god! -_-
Get it over with already dammit~
And SHUT THE HELL UP!

This is random, but i just realised that I've unconsciously been posting every thursday for the past 3 weeks~ 0.o

Just had my first paper today! French~
kk, technically it was yesterday, and with that comes the inertia and burnout that follows the next few hours.

Decided to watch a some random movie to unwind abit, and I ended up watching this:

Freedom Writers


Halfway through the film, I realised that I had seen and heard parts of this before in the Common- A dream MTV in the previous post.

Gawd~... it so reminded me of Dangerous Minds, MUST FIND that show and reminisce Michelle Pfiffer lay the law in the classroom.

Btw, I just googled Dangerous Minds and u know wat?
The film was screened in friggin 1995.
And now I'm listening to MLTR ( Micheal Learns To Rock... duh~ =p ) and Backstreet Boys ( *cough... Backstreet Uncles), while typing out this post~

Doh~! I'm feeling a sudden siansation at how old I'm getting~ >.<

President Elect Obama in Chicago

And so... come 10th Jan, the US of A will welcome its 44th president.

Hey Martin Luther King.jr!
Your DREAM has finally come to pass and CHANGE has come to America!
'A dream' by Common
Couldn't help but think of this song when i tot of wat has come to pass~

Was watching CNA's 1 hour special on how the world held its breath, as the next President of the United States of America was elected.

And you know what, never in my 24 years have i recalled of one person who has inspired and captivated so many the world over.

Children in a Jakarta Primary school, where Mr. Obama spent 4 years studying during his earlier years, squealed and danced with pride!

Residents form the the town of Obama in Japan, celebrated in Hawaiian t-shirts( he was born in hawaii), and connected with him through the namesake of their town.

He has alot to live up to, and expectations are high~

Change has begun. Change that's hopefully for the better.

NEW MACBOOOKS HAF STARTED SALES AT 8FLAGS!

Bask and shudder in the Hollywood transmogrification of every boy's favorite childhood comic >.<

Here are some interesting gaming news I ran across over the week.

ICT is over....

Thinking back I wish I could have done things differently, been a better person.
Stepped up to the plate and been more pro-active.

Being new to Archer Coy is tough, not knowing the men and commanders personally.
I'm grateful for Onn Ray and the rest of the of the PCs for helping me feel at home, but I can't help but feel like an outsider.

Maybe I should take up that Dys3 offer and move to Bn HQ.
But that would mean settling in all over again, and of course it might also include additional training outside of the annual ICT.

Well.... till next year~

Anyone interested in catching this show?
Its running from tmr( friday) till this sunday.

Team Fortress 2 : Meet the Sniper from Béranger Roussel on Vimeo

Check out the rest of the Team- Fortress Crew @ http://orange.half-life2.com/tf2.html

I've been watching season 4 of SYTYCD ( So you think you can dance). And not surprisingly I feel like learning how to dance! ^^;



Mwhahaha!! ^^;
At least lemme dream abt it k~ =x

Its such a joy watching the top 20 finalists perform, contemporary especially, Mia Michaels' choreography just blows me away everytime.



And Joushua and Katee's Hip Hop number. You noe... the one with Jordin Spark's 'No Air' playing in the background.



But i digress...

So riding on a Never Say Die Optimism, induced by an hour and a half of AMAZING dancing in episode 6. I googled online, hoping to find some good local dance schools.

Hopefully, all this won't degenerate into idle dreaming~

Hmm.... looking through the google hits at the moment.
Jiterbugs Swingapore, Studio Wu
2 left feet, Attitude Dance Studio

Should I try 'Salsa' or 'Hip Hop'? =P

Here's a rumour that the iPhone is hitting our shores earlier than expected on the 23rd of June ?!?!

Btw you can also start reserving your iPhones from SINGTEL NOW!!!
http://home.singtel.com/iphone/

Well... Day 1 of Apple's WWDC is over~

Though there weren't any redesigned MBPs or MacBooks, the 3G iPhone was revealed.

Slated for release in the states and 21 other countries on July 11, it'll be selling for US$199 for the 8gb and US$299 for the 16gb version.

More excitingly, our Singapore Apple Store was updated with the 3G iPhone. Hopefully, that translates to an earlier release in Singapore, rather than the Sep release originally reported.

On a similar note, the Singapore Apple Store was also updated with iTunes Store!!

Come on steve...
Show us some re-designed Montevina MBPs and MacBooks~

I'm sure that 3G iPhone is not the ONLY thing u have up your sleeve. =p

A couple of friends from school and I are thinking of participating in the coming NTU Business Plan Competition, but we're still shy of 2 members.

Drop me a msg if you're intersted!

I WANT MY BATTLESTAR GALACTICA EPISODE 9!!!
WHY is it NOT on #SEOL DAMNIT! >.<

p.s.
s'pose to present wat i've done the past 2 weeks at the lab meeting later at 2pm.
Wish me luck!

Battle of the Touchscreen Titans



With the release of the 3G iPhone, Sony X1 Xperia and the HTC Diamond this coming quarter, Tech savvy mobile fan boys are spoilt for choice.
Though the iphone won't be coming to singapore till septmember, as compared to the X1 and Diamond which should be available at an earlier date.
( The Diamond will be retail ready in June)
This of course, hasn't stopped hardcore mac fans ( I'm a proud owner of an iphone myself~ ^^;) from importing and unlocking foreign sets.

Personally...the decision boils down to 3 factors:
1) Price
Only the Diamond's retail price has been confirmed so far, at a whopping $1098.
No news abt the Sony Xperia as of yet.
And I predict the 3G iphone to retail at US$599 under AT&T.
Bottom line, it should be cheaper to ship in a 3G iphone from the states than purchase its competitors locally.
Which bring us to....

2) Warranty
Getting the 3G iPhone earlier from abroad would void the warranty, since you'll have to jailbreak and unlock it (provided an unlock for the new OS is available). The other 2 alternatives would be a safer option, if anything should go wrong with your handset.

3) UI
Nothing comes close to apple's intitive user interface, be it the symbian OS on the X1 or the Touch Flo enhanced Windows Mobile on the Diamond.

Of course we'll know more as the products are finally released. First up, being the 3G iPhone which will be unveiled at the coming WWDC on June 9th.

If I could afford it though, I don't mind getting ALL of these shiny new toys~ =p


Intel Centrino 2 ( Montevina) release postponed



If you've been thinking of getting that new lappy for the upcoming acad year, you might want to give it more thought.
A new mobile platform is due to be released by Intel Mid July, which should translate to OEMs shipping out Centrino 2 laptops sometime Mid August.

Orignally slated for a june release, the release date has been pushed back to july 14th due to issues with the onboard 802.11n and in-built graphic solution.

The new Centrino 2 platforms sports the new smaller 45nm Penryn chips, on the the new contiga chipset, with clockspeeds up to 3.06Ghz. In addition to lower power consumption due to the die shrinkage, it sports the new integrated X3100 inbuilt graphic, onboard WIFI (WiMAX & wireless N) and a 1066 MT/s FSB ( i.e. RAM support for DDR3).

So what does this mean?
Well... I'm gonna think twice about getting a new laptop replacement for my cranky vaio this coming PC show. ( which if u didn't know, starts the following thur at Suntec.)

But then again, these things are ALWAYS improving.
The best advice I've ever heard abt buying IT goods?

Just get it, when u need it~ =p

kk.... no excuses.
Its been what.... a mth since i last updated. So here we go~


RONNIE and AIWEI where are the kelong PictureS?!?

jourdan, kimhock, ben's brother, ezra, rachel, huiming, ronnie. nat, jiemin, wenlong and I went on weekend trip to HOTBOYS kelong.

It was decent, not fab but its who u go with dat makes it fun rite~?
And it was a great bunch of frens who went.
Highlights include fishing, mahjonging,
More fishing and mahjonging...
Oh! did i mention Mahjong and fishing? =p

Not dat i'm complaining but i guess the concept of this hotboys kelong is more for ppl to layback and unwind.
Personally, I was suffering from the lack of internet.
2 DAYS without getting an online fix is like...ARHGHhghHGHHgh?!?!

ok... i admit it. I'm an internet junkie. But I'm sure alot of us were suffering from withdrawal symptoms over that weekend. lol...especially so with so many CABAL players in the group.

Btm line:
hotboys kelong is decent.
Rmb to ask for some beach gear ( i.e. volleyball) from the kelong before going island hopping. Cuz pretty much other den frollicking along the the beach, there's not much else to do while island hoping.

I've been seeing things around me...
words and signs... in.... everything!!!
Even money!

Look!


" The End is near! Trust no one. Liar. "
DO u see it too?!? =p

A NASA photo of space shuttle Endeavour shows a certain Apple music player sitting in the window console





This NASA photo released last week of space shuttle Endeavour would likely have gone unnoticed by the gadget set if it weren't for some keen blogger eyes that spotted an iPod sitting in the window console.

Astronauts have been allowed to fly with iPods for the last few years, "a great space saver over CD players", according to recent ABC News story. But the devices can only take flight after their Lithium batteries are replaced with alkaline AA batteries that are certified to fly on the shuttle. And iPods aren't yet certified for use on the space station, the story said.

Here's a random visual from Mike Stimpson, a photographer who takes ALOT of photos.
And I do mean ALOT ... of photos of Lego blocks?!? =p
Here, he recreates famous iconic photos, with lego versions.
You can check out the rest at his flickr account. Here.

"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops
at all



Olivia Ong- I'll move on

This road that I'm taking twists and turns
My life my chance turning dreams into reality.
Down this path faced with so many things
Sometimes I feel like giving up and turn away

Can't seem to go on
And I've been thru' this before
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I'll remember.
All those times you've bought me thru'.
I'd be a fool to give up cos' the goal is near

I'll move on I'll go on.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on

Here I am Once again caught in the rain.
Looking back I've come so far And I want to carry on
Take a step at time
It's alright.
Even thru' this rain, I want to smile again

Don't hold back now.
And i've been thru' this before.
Now where am I?
Where do I stand?
A little lost here.
But I'll remember.
All those times you've bought me thru'.
I can feel the sun shining down on me

Here I am, Here I am.
Lord I will take your hand.
And you will guide me along.
Survive thru' this storm.
So I say, come what may.
I'll hold on to my hope.
Yes, I will walk down this road.
And my passion drive will lead me on.

你把我灌醉 你让我流泪
扛下了所有罪 我拼命挽回
你把我灌醉 你让我心碎
爱得收不回

Oh 眼泪...
眼泪都是我的体会 成长的滋味
Oh 眼泪...
忍住眼泪不让你看见 我在改变
孤单的感觉...
你从不曾发现 我笑中还有泪...

(情非得已 庚澄庆)
只怕我自己会爱上你
不敢让自己靠的太近
怕我没什麽能够给你
爱你也需要很大的勇气

(你是如此难以忘记 梁朝伟)
你是如此的难以忘记
浮浮沉沉的在我心里
改变自己需要多少勇气
翻腾的心情该如何平息

(心太软 任贤齐)
你总是心太软心太软
把所有问题都自己扛
相爱总是简单相处太难
不是你的就别再勉强

(Forever love 王力宏)
Forever love forever love

*cough* hint===> HEROES!!

Its drizzling on a sunday afternoon.
And I'm waiting at home, wondering if I'll be mobilised back to Kranji Camp~

WHy?!?

Becuz the SAF deems that we, 428 SAR, are to be on standby this week. In fact, the S3 emailed us that there's a really high possibility that there'll be an actual activation this time around.

edit
just saw an email from our CO, saying that there's no recall liao~.
Its like past 2pm on a sunday, and NOBODY is DAT hardworking, plus the SAF is probably too busy hunting for Mas Selamat anyways... =p

Deicided to post some random photos, while idling at home, waiting to see if they're actually gonna push the button.


Kimmy's B'dea at 'Cha Cha Cha' at Holland Village.



B'dea boy having fun wif Nat's 'Harry Potter' spectacles.

YUMmY... but the portions were reallie itsy bitsy small



Minli & Jiamin, entrepeneurs at SBS day!



Lunch at bedok outlet for Botak Jones.
Good service ( ask for chris. he gave us free deserts), huge portions but a lil pricey. it was $20 for the steak? Not exacly your kopi tiam pricing, even though its located in one. But reasonable, if u compare it to stuff from like Fish and Co. or Jack's Place.
OH~! Did I mention free flow fries? =p



Weird Lemon Tea drink from Xianting's place,look like lil' tadpole eggs inside~ ^^;



Jiayin,Ping and Fangyang . KTVing at Chinatown Kster.

BUT WAIT! WAh... lelong sia... one slipper $10. Weitzer and Shuling checking out the designs!



YAY! New Slippers!



Manhatten Fishmarket reallie beats Fish and Co. hands Down.
p.s. Zhen wei's face blurred out due to the reallie reallie slow shutter speed on the iPhone. He HAS NOT, I repeat, HAS NOT been earmarked to be scared to death by Sadako.
( ok ok... dat was a reallie lame reference to "The Ring")



Another shot from Manahatten Fishmarket.

I'm not sure if many ppl will see this, but a couple of frens and I are Mass Ordering Havaianas Slippers from www.igapost.com.



On average, slippers cost USD$14, which is ard S$20ish?? Which is still pretty cheap in comparison to the prices you see in NUM and other shops in singapore. Shipping is US$12, which all the spree-ers will share, and it take 1-2 weeks to ship into singapore.

So if you're interested and TRUST moi to handle you're moola~
