POP LO!

HTC Snap

2010-05-14T01:44:00.003+08:00

went to recontract and transferred ownership for my mobile line yesterday. used to be under my dad's name, but as of today, i'm taking full responsibility for it! hehe. got the HTC Snap together with singtel's 3G flexi lite plan which cost me nothing. made my dad's line the key mobile line within our mio home package, so he could enjoy 25% discount for his plan's pricing. really appreciated the excellent service i received; the salesman was tops, told me stuff i never knew my family was eligible for (like the key mobile line thingy), etc.

anyway, here are a couple of photos of the HTC Snap.

front and back view. still trying hard to get myself used to the user interface and all. the 'qwerty' keyboard can be confusing, especially if you intend to input numbers and characters. oh yes, this is a non-camera version, which means i can bring this phone in to AFTC. hopefully this applies to tekong as well. speaking of tekong... okay never mind, let us just leave it at that eh?

met up with almighty ohy, shaohui and ruiwen for dinner @ chompchomp. had fried hokkien mee, white carrot cake, bbq stingray, la la, oyster omelette, bbq chicken wings and sugar cane juice. bloated like hell. quality-wise... the fried hokkien mee was pretty bad, but that was due to the stall which i frequent was closed, and we had to order from an alternative stall; bbq stingray, chicken wings were still awesome as before; carrot cake was so-so, couldn't finish it. did not try the oyster omeletter nor la la because they were not my cup of tea.

headed home straight after that. still feeling very full.

V for Victory

2010-03-07T22:14:00.002+08:00

woots. we actually won! final score: 4-3. :DDD

well i dare say we were the better team. defensively we were more disciplined than the previous match (which was ages ago), the back four covered each other really nicely and stood firm before the opponents. although i must say it was disappointing we conceded all 3 goals from set-pieces. corner kicks, to be exact. something we have to pick up on if we want to stop conceding needless goals like those today.

nevertheless we fought hard for the winner, and moments later davis provided us with that. an absolute cracker. the ball was superbly well-met on the volley, execution technique timing etc were perfect. if i might add, the placement was excellent as well. peach of a shot. left their goalie in no man's land. i guess it's like what maradona used to say, every player will have their moment of magic.

there were several rough patches here and there, our team probably suffered the brunt of injuries and perilous tackles, but never once did we stop fighting; i'm glad we won. :)

sadly, dance floor not populated enough, and also not very sporting i guess.
or maybe it's because we were all dancing like fucking retards. due to the fact that we had no idea what the hell to do with the drink coupons so we kept calling tequila shots. had 5 or 6 of that. and then graveyard, treated benson and ohy. 75 bucks flew away just like that. make that 100 including the entrance fee. hah. then we had flaming lambo. nailed me right there.

left the place in a very unglamourous manner. puked whatever light dinner i had earlier at raffles city. i think i was such a sorry and pathetic sight. a completely mangled state, i would just lay slumped on the ground and sleep, knocked out. shaohui was like a medic, trying to relieve us of the bloody hangover bullshit we were facing. bleh. mustered the remaining strength in me and dragged my feet to the taxi. then i just died in the car. don't even remember alighting the taxi and am still wondering how i managed to get home without problems. lol. i swear it was the craziest night ever. now looking back, it was really bad. fail night? perhaps.

sunday 9am, canberra sec. our team's second "official" match.
and afterwards i wish monday would never come. :(

UPDATEZ

2009-10-27T22:34:00.002+08:00

like finally.

loads of stuff to mention.

first up, my first overseas trip after 5/6 years. last time i went out of singapore was in secondary three (if i remember correctly). had to apply for a new passport since the old one was defunct already. armed with the new passport, i was ready to go to phuket, and it was my first time being there too. awesome place. travelled on air asia, stayed at andatel patong hotel, had white water rafting, atv rides, snorkelling, swimming, clubbing, drinking. basically we just let ourselves loose there. went all crazy and stuff.
only problem were the people tend to get too "sticky" and are fucking persistent. the only way to refuse them would be to put on a murderous face and say something equivalent to "fuck off".
photos here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27064&id=1600931169&l=cc76211ee5
not alot of them because it would be suicidal to bring my handphone (pics taken with my pixon) on such extensive water-based activities. just a couple of group shots and some of the scenery when we had to climb up and get a peek of a waterfall, and several shots of the beach.

rest of the holidays were spent mostly on fyp. fucking fyp. fucked up.

next came timbre. belated celebrations for me and ben's birthdays. had the usual roast duck pizzas, happy hour drinks.
but on that day we tried something different as well. we had a couple of shots. first challenge, b-52 shots. tasted like milo, easy on the throat, mild effect. i felt nothing though.
then shaohui dared us to try barcadi 151 shots. said something like he had it in china and nearly died (or was it uva?) and so we partaked in the barcadid 151 challenge. had a teeny weeny sip at first, and fuck, my entire mouth literally felt like it was lit on fire. several minutes later, we braced ourselves. prepared for the one big gulp. down the alcohol went. goddammit i nearly choked and coughed my insides out. throat went completely dry and it was like having a sore throat for the next half an hour or so. uva the coward drank the shot in halves. noob. LOL.
supposedly the strongest shot (claimed by uva and shaohui), but it didn't really take its toll on me. think i would prefer tequila pops any time.
oh yes, photos: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=29146&id=1600931169&l=b00c5695f8

that's about it for now, i guess.
really want to go for another overseas trip, this time, hopefully to taiwan or japan.

2009-08-24T00:13:00.002+08:00

23 August 2009, Woodlands Ring Secondary

Our team's very first "proper" match. Wasn't that great (I mean our performance), but I wished I could have played more, unlimited substitutions you see.

Met the others at Admiralty MRT at 2pm, waited (as usual heh) for the latecomers, then proceeded to the school field for warm-up, briefing on formation and tactics (gawd I can't believe we were actually that serious... we even had those stuff on paper). Referee came along and we started the match pretty soon enough.

Lack of communication, being too kan chiong, plagued our game. Understandable though, because we never had any formal training, and it was the first time we were playing as a 11-man team, so I guess our confidence level were quite low at first. Conceded two goals but we cameback right up to bring the game level before halftime. Then conceded another in the second half. Gee, that really brought out our fighting spirit. But still, our communication was insufficient. Called every teammate on the pitch during the last several minutes to launch wave after wave of attacks on the opponent goal, but we simply couldn't take our chances. Argh, DULAN.

Final score: 3-2. Yes we lost, however we shall take it as a lesson learnt and what made it better was that everyone actually did some self-reflection and AAR (After Action Review) after the match. Well, we can only get stronger, faster and smarter after every game.

2009-08-04T00:23:00.002+08:00

Projects. Reports. Presentations.

What the fuck. Give me a break will you?
Not only do we third-years have final year project (FYP) to contend with, there are numerous assignments to be done, and their weightage ain't small either. And these stuff just keep piling up.

Then there's GEMS which is stupid, and unfair to our batch because we were the last to have our GEMS score included in the semester GPA. And there are also the elective modules. Gosh, why the hell are they throwing all these shit at us in our final year when we are supposed to concentrate on our FYP?

Damn, I couldn't really be bothered already. Have yet to begin revision for the semester exams, holy shit.

July 26 @ National Stadium

A spectacular and magical night. One which I will never ever forget.
Rafa Benitez deserves a huge "Thank You" from all the KOP fans for fielding players like Reina, Carragher, Agger, Mascherano, Alonso, Riera and Torres. If only Gerrard was there that night. That would have totally made my day.

I can still hear the roar of the crowd (and screams of fan-girls amidst that) when Torres and Alonso came on. People yelling for Alonso to shoot as soon as he got the ball. The hot lady sitting right in front of me going crazy whenever the ball reached Torres' feet. And most of all, I can still hear myself singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" along with the tens of thousands of Liverpool fans. That was all it took to move me. The particular song ringing in my ears; it was like both the KOP and Anfield had arrived in Singapore.

It was the best experience of my life, so far. I couldn't ask for more, maybe except for Gerrard. XD

Til then, it's gonna be another dull day at school.

2009-07-07T00:24:00.002+08:00

finally.

the indescribable feeling of scoring goals at freewill. sliding the ball past the goal line, leaving the goalkeeper in no man's land. it's truly been too long, my friend.

i took into liberty to savour every single moment of it. as i raised my arms in triumph, and the faces of despair were imprinted onto my mind. what satisfaction. what joy. but let it get to my head, i must not.

it was a great boost to my confidence. and i shall add, it pays being selfish at times too. that's what being a striker is all about, isn't it. forever preying for goals, and taking full advantage of the opponent's mistakes. still i owe my gratitude to my teammates that day, they have been really supportive. and when they run over to congratulate me, it truly brightens my day.

simply unforgettable.

p.s. when will i ever get to buy my braun buffel wallet? :(

2009-06-28T00:34:00.004+08:00

Soccer was epic yesterday. Vulgarities and sweepings were flying in from everywhere. No cramps, but someone got injured in two different areas of his body though. Sucks to be him, really. I understand what it feels like - the anticipation for soccer after weeks of not playing and the initial BMT confinement period, the two weeks that serve as an orientation to regimental life. All these, totally killed off due to injuries obtained while playing the game which you had so wanted to get back into. And now you've got to answer to your superiors, there might be a chance of you to "re-course" (which means retaking BMT). If I were him, I would totally feel so fucked up.

I find myself getting more sluggish in my movements with each passing week. I shoot like crap. I can't finish cooly in one-on-one situations. My dribbling is pathetic. In short, I lack confidence these days. When I receive the ball, I feel insecure. I'm afraid of taking a shot because people might grumble and complain like it was a wrong decision to make.
Yesterday I tried to be selfless. There was an instance when I was fully capable of taking the goal for myself, but I saw a teammate in a much better position thus I passed the ball on to him. Guess what. He fluked it. But I won't blame him. There have been incidents in the past where I couldn't score even after the set-up was perfect and the goal was at such close proximity. And then I heard people saying I should have just taken the shot. I was utterly discouraged. No matter how selfishly or selflessly I played, the rantings just keep coming.

Are we humans really that shallow? Must we only lament on negativity and instead take positives for granted? Wrong decision or not, why do we not appreciate the thought put into it? A single sign of disapproval is enough to take my confidence level from skyhigh to the lowest depths of hell. And I start playing like shit. Then I get frustrated. Emo. Moody.

How do I deal with such distraction that continue haunting me as long as I touch the ball? Ignorance is bliss, but it is easier said than done.

Btw, congrats on reaching the end of this post without clicking the red X button on the top right corner of your screen. Would appreciate your input on this one too.

2009-06-09T21:48:00.002+08:00

Hokay.

Confirmed to-buy list:

Headset (headphones + mic for my daily computing usage)
A pair of audiophile headphones (hopefully I can find one about the $100 range)
250/320GB external hard disk (for mom to store her drama and stuff)
Wallet (Braun Buffel? Hehe)

Still-thinking-about-it list:

iPod Touch
Cap (those wide panels one)
Bag (backpack to be exact)
Clothes, especially tops

GAH. It's that season again. The Great Singapore Sale (GSS) period. The time which burns a huge hole in my wallet whenever I go out with friends. Last year, it was always about impulsive and last-minute shopping. This year it's going to be different. Controlled spending. No more buying of t-shirts, just because I didn't want to return home empty-handed, on the very last day of the GSS.

My legs are fucking itching. A week is plain torturous for them. And it's not just them. The fact that I have to wait for a week is also tormenting His Majesty up there, enclosed and protected by this thick skull of mine. Damn the compulsory conscription of males when they are of age on this tiny island.

2009-05-20T00:09:00.002+08:00

Well I guess it's kinda official (actually it was a long time ago but I just didn't wanna say it out).

Retrenchment has just arrived at the threshold of my family. Perhaps they are just putting on a strong front in front of us, but I find it a worrisome issue even if I know both of them to be extremely cautious and calculative in whatever they do. Currently, it's just one of them, but it could be both in the near future (or most certainly would be). I fear of being financially troubled in time to come; the slow yet steady onslaught of emotional turmoil that wears down chains in the family; fear of what the future has in store for us.

The thought of it all sickens me. Restricting and limiting my spendings, saving every single cent I can, argh, simply put - less of entertainment for you Mr. Lee. But I know, none of this can be compared to how they are feeling right now. Deep down inside they are probably dejected, worried and as fearful as I am. Right now they are planning of downgrading from our current 5-room flat to a 4-room one, and I guess should it really happen, it shall be the next milestone in my life.

Well, we'll have to see how it goes. I pray we pull through this tough time ahead of us; I pray we could all just have a happy ending.

2009-05-15T23:18:00.005+08:00

Timbre today with Shawn, Aug and Shao Hui.

Ordered Screaming Orgasm, though it wasn't really quite as orgasmic as I thought it would be. It had really strong (too strong for my liking) alcoholic taste and aftertaste, as the fluid just burned its way down my throat.

Next up was Blue Lagoon which I ordered towards the end of our "dinner", pleasant and sweet, but too gentle. Tasted pretty much like Sprite after I left it there for about ten or so minutes.

As for food we had a total of four pizzas. Toppings namely were Roasted Duck, German Sausage and Peppers, Seafood, and Tandoori Chicken. Roasted Duck pizza was clearly tops, the seasoning sauce used was just awesome. I liked the crackers they used too. Tandoori Chicken was good too. Overall, better value-for-money than Pizza Hut.

Oh, we had the Buffalo Wings as well. That was godly. They used some sweet and sour and spicy sauce on the outside, and generally the chicken wings were fried first before coated with the sauce. Brilliant take IMO.

Prices were reasonable because we ordered most of the stuff during the Happy Hour promotion period, except for the Blue Lagoon. Didn't get to listen to the live music band performance too, shucks.

Oh well, another day perhaps.

Pondering and wondering;

2009-05-11T19:31:00.003+08:00

And there I was again, in front of my dinner, chomping down rice and beef and veggies; but no, it wasn't the food that occupied my thoughts. I had something else on my mind. Something that made me afraid of myself, and my lousy character traits. Ah yes, those who knew me during my secondary school days should probably have an idea of what I'm talking about.

Well, let me recount the kind of Alex that existed almost 5 years ago, the asshole he was - one who never took anything seriously.

Relationships not spared.

Til now I have always wondered, why me and not some other tall good-looking hunky guy. Of all the boys in school which all she had to do was just pick one and get it over with, she had to choose me - some obese short boy who goofed around like an idiot. Or perhaps it was just puppy love, perhaps she was conducting some great experiment and me of course, the poor little test rat caged up and always thinking what the hell am I doing here. But I refused to believe in that. After all, even puppy love requires emotions. Nothing will surface unless you start to take a liking to somebody in your class; in my case, someone sitting just right behind you.

You approached me, dropped hints like bits and pieces of cheese and well, there is no love unless the feeling is mutual. But still, I was afraid. Afraid that our secret might be let out, afraid of what my parents would say, afraid of everything. And that somehow turned to ignorance and the me who couldn't be bothered to initiate a day together. I stayed home like a lazy bastard playing computer games all day long and replied to your calls, always longing, yet always cowering in fear.

A few months down the road, you stopped all forms of contact. In the classroom we acted like ordinary classmates. Instead of turning to the back for help you turned to the girls beside you. I was as transparent as glass. Punishment for my misdoings? Yeah definitely. But I couldn't take it. I released my feelings by doing what I did best - gaming. That probably blew the whole thing.

Some of you might still say, "bah, puppy love, nobody gives a damn and you should too." Deep down inside I'm still trying to figure out the good part of me she found, even up to this day. And she never told me.

Because I was afraid of asking her.

Fuck you, Alex.

2009-04-11T22:47:00.002+08:00

Rejoice rejoice! Only one last week of ITP left, but I'm bloody disappointed I won't be able to make it to soccer on Saturday which so coincidentally happens to be my last day.

Liverpool - 1
Chelsea - 3

Well, I suppose those were pretty much shocking results, especially following thrashing sprees except for a hard-fought victory at Fulham's home ground. Even I thought we could at least have won by a goal or two, given Chelsea's formidable form as well. Who would have thought Ivanovic was allowed to run so freely in Liverpool's penalty box and allowed to win balls in the air unchallenged. I blame Alonso and Gerrard for that. And then Riera decided to chut stunt, giving the ball away to some Chelsea player, which inadvertently resulted in the third goal, because most of the Liverpool players were breaking away for a counter-attack. Very very poor defending, tsk.

Totally crappy performance from the start of the second half to end, absolutely no fighting spirit unlike what was shown to the world in the finale of the 2005 Champions League. Where was the usual undying determination of the team branded "Comeback Kings"?

What does Rafa Benitez see in Lucas anyway? Cannot hold the ball (and he is a BLOODY MIDFIELDER!), weak, cannot shoot for fucking nuts (saw those 2 balls he "attempted" to shoot? both would have qualified as excellent clearances even by Jamie Carragher's standards). Riera was unusually lousy as well; Torres put Liverpool ahead at 6 minutes but was non-existent later on; oh wait, was Liverpool even playing?

Forgive my lengthy ranting, but I must let it be known. Just visited soccernet,

Liverpool - 4
Blackburn - 0

Why can't they produce results like this against Chelsea? Sighs.
More updates to come prolly after ITP. Sighs again.

2009-03-24T01:17:00.002+08:00

Liverpool - 4
Real Madrid - 1

Manchester United - 1
Liverpool - 4

Aston Villa - 0
Liverpool - 5

*Smacks lips* What sweeeeeet victories, especially the second one :p
Let's hope we continue our RED hot form for the rest of the season and have the BPL trophy stay at Anfield and with the KOP.

Bring it on!

2009-03-22T22:41:00.002+08:00

Been a long while since I last posted.

Now is time for me to rant about ITP. Posted to OG Albert Kids Style. Won't elaborate on the good stuff because well, I'm supposed to rant, heh.
Fucked up supervisor. Snatched my customers away like eight times already, EXCLUDING TWICE today in the afternoon. Makes it ten, what a nice number. What a nice little bitch she is as well. Does nothing but whine about the bad sales all day. For fuck's sake, if nobody even bothers to walk into the shop then why the hell do you sound like you're blaming me for the bad sales? Yeah she gave me a target yesterday - 300 bucks. She said if I didn't meet it she would give me ZERO for this week's grade. FUCK THAT. BECAUSE I MANAGED TO GET $300+ WITHOUT YOU STEALING MY PRECIOUS CUSTOMERS AWAY, WHY THANK YOU VERY MUCH WHORE.
No, I ain't feeling any better. Because this shit is gonna continue and last til the 18th of April. THANK GOD she will be away from tomorrow til next Tuesday, THANK F***ING GOD LOL.
Well the teeny weeny good part of my work is that at least I found someone to talk (and a couple of girls to look at too). ATB, but well, at least the stench of yesterday's dinner doesn't come out of her mouth, HAHAHA.

And finally my Dell 24-inch monitor will be delivered tomorrow. Waited for like a month for it. 24 inches of FULL 1080p HD goodness, yummy yummy. Will probably be buying a HDMI cable tomorrow, so as to take full advantage of that 1080p HD resolution.

Next, new jeans. Hopefully tomorrow as well. Levis - 2 pairs of jeans for $199.90 promotion. Both for myself, probably, unless my brother wants a pair of 519 skinny jeans. Speaking of which, I'm gonna try and squeeze my ample amount of fats and lard (no offence to my Muslim brothers lol) into the skinnies as well. Just pray the seams don't burst. If they do, they are not Levis jeans.

Big reasons to rejoice for the KOP, because Chelsea and Man U lost! WOOO, it's time for the Reds to reclaim the top spot of the table! Torres and Gerrard, I choose you!

2009-03-03T23:02:00.015+08:00

OMG LOOK AT THOSE FAT THIGHS LOLLL

ITP time! waited for like forever at jaygee before we got started on the briefing and posting and stuff.

'kay, 'nuff words, time for the pictures to talk. as edmw-ers so often say, :)

yep, aka internship/attachment clouds (damn those disgusting tape remainders)more clouds, except they are dark this time (bloody reflections)random macro shot

first day at work was today. stood and stood and stood. most shoppers dont even bother looking at the products we have in store, except for a handful (less than 10 during the time i was tending the store).

me: "hello good morning/afternoon sir/madam, how may i help you?" *smiles*
customer: "oh just looking." *walks away briskly*

what makes it worse is that there were no promotions going on. even if there were, they were not big enough to make customers heads turn. which kinda explained the pathetic sales.

afternoon shift tomorrow, which means i get to sleep late today, but no fucking way - im bloody tired.

2009-02-26T19:27:00.005+08:00

FUCKING YEAH. exams are over - sweet.
got my new rig setup today from sim lim sq. still waiting for my dell 24-inch monitor to arrive, cant wait sia!bored. extremely bored. which resulted in all the three photos taken above. look at the time on the clock - close to 2am, not 2 in the afternoon mind you. well actually i was just trying out the macro function of my samsung pixon.

right, regarding exams... i must say my batch has been pretty fortunate so far. 4 papers in total, and the last 3, namely mechanics 2, aeis and app1 were actually rather easy to handle. the only one i had difficulty with was lav, but still im confident of passing that diploma plus module. heh.

anyway i just hope i can attain a gpa of about 3.4 - 3.5 this semester.

okay, off to dinner and a night filled with dota then.

2009-01-29T18:30:00.004+08:00

this is what goes on during cem lessons.

more random pictures.

nothing's nothing than letting your hair down on the night of chinese new year eve - staying up late, having a glass of vodka and shooting the hell out of zombies in l4d.

cheers.

Klassik Q Vodka Raspberry flavour

not a bad drink, tastes a lil like medicine though.
off to dota, cya.

cny hoots :)

2009-01-25T15:42:00.005+08:00

went to vivocity for shopping yesterday night.

what can i say, it was sooo damn bloody close to being another fruitless shopping trip, but i decided to buy on an impulse at the last minute.

shirt from GAP, $64, original price $95 berms from FRESHBOX, $39,90

both buys were really last minute, where most of the shops were already closed and while trying on the berms in one of the freshbox changing rooms i actually perspired because the air-conditioning was switched off already, lol.

one of my friends told me people with bigger sizes should look good in checkered shirts so i decided to try it on, and quite liked it, so yeah, just chiong la. besides, a $30 discount from the original price tag was very tempting.

that's it for my cny shopping, guess i am rather satisfied with what i have bought so far. oh ya, i'm still looking for jackets/sweaters. looking for something that's blue in colour.

2009-01-23T22:10:00.004+08:00

ah the smell and taste of bak kwa... i had nearly forgotten. it's been too long, even if the one year felt like it sprinted past me in a flash. i could have done this at the beginning of the new year, but i guess i was simply in too good a mood to question myself - what i've done, for the past year or so.

yes i admit i have done practically nothing (not surprising actually). fuck it. i guess when there's nothing to do at home you sort of ponder about those things huh. and then you startle yourself and wonder how those "emo" thoughts wander into your mind and cause confusion. great, i congratulate me for making myself feel guilthy and depressed. gah, this shit's demoralising me and i ain't gonna let it take me down further.

on to some school stuff.
took a couple of photos of the cessna plane at aerolab 2 today, they were supposed to be used for the modelling of the plane itself using the program called catia (sounds familar? yes it should be).but in the end we decided to use drawings (blueprints? dunno) instead of photos, so yeah, that's that.

just imagine, using the catia software to do the framework i.e. longerons and skin, and this assignment carries a weightage of ONLY 15%. bloody bollocks.

2009-01-14T22:49:00.002+08:00

AHH FUCKIN' ZOMBIES TASTE MY BULLETS DIPPED IN HOLY SHIT AND WILL MELT THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR DAMNED FLESH FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING PEW PEW PEW BANG BANG BOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

as "promised", an update. won't be a really long one because i may have forgotten about the details but let me try my best to recall the christmas and new year periods.

24 december 2008 - christmas eve
went to marina square with shaohui to shop. actually we already had the item we wanted in our minds so we just set off for a shop named fourskin, and each of us bought a slim cut pants (or more appropriately, shorts), black in colour, for $49.
went over to suntec and discovered a new version of maximum tune 3. not entirely a new version, but more of an upgrade - max tune 3dx. new cars like the mitsubishi lancer evolution x (evo10 or e10 in short), subaru impreza wrx sti (the hunchback one), and one other car which i have cleanly forgotten. didn't get to play though, because it was really expensive, so we told ourselves to do so some other time, together with aug.

mrt-ed all the way to boon lay to meet with my friends while sh went elsewhere to meet his. was looking everywhere for mel but she was the one to find me in the end. sorry, you really too short, i didn't even noticed until you tapped me on my arm LOL. so we waited and waited for the guys to reach (before this they were at jurong swimming complex enjoying themselves, i didn't join them, i dislike swimming heh). so after they reached, we talked cock and walked to the bus interchange and boarded some bus to a neighbourhood coffee shop which sells zi cha. had dinner there, food was decent enough, and i was happy as long as there was something to fill my stomach with. it was cheap too, $10 per person, and we had 12 people there.

at this point after the dinner, we wasted a LOT of time pondering our next move. where to go, what to do, etc. so we finally decided, and that is taking a walk from buona vista mrt to kent ridge park, then all the way to mount faber, and to harbourfront mrt which would bring us back home. sounded like a real good plan. so we walked. and walked. and walked. it was almost close to 2 hours before we found a sign that said kent ridge park. and we continued walking. til we got to a split path. took the right one (as in, literally the right one) and found ourselves walking on a road not long after. turns out, we had made a wrong turn, but we were tired, so decided not to turn back, and walked all the way to pasir panjang road which would lead us to harbourfront mrt.

along the way, as we were nearing a petrol station, a police van went past us and stopped at the entrance. out came 7 or 8 police officers and they ordered us to stand in a straight line, demanding our ICs. we gave it to them, and they asked us a several questions, including a couple of lame ones, like why i joined the airforce instead of the police force (-.-"). we told them we were on a night hike, and they just came from vivocity's countdown event and moving around to ensure nothing happens in the vicinity.
AND THEN... and then, right at the stroke of midnight, they wished us Merry Christmas and then drove off. it was an unexpected surprise; what a bloody coincidence. i mean, they couldn't be any more accurate, HAH.

31 december 2008 to 1 january 2009 - new year eve & new year day
went to school as usual in the morning, but it was a half-day so the lessons ended at 12noon. all of a sudden, just right after my lessons ended, i received a call. "1.30pm... meet dhoby ghaut mrt..."
when i got there, some of the guys have already reached. i enquired what we were gonna do. i got clueless faces back for an answer. okay... so we went over to the cathay to wait for the others to arrive, they were suggesting a movie. took a look at the movie listings. twilight - bloody chick flick, no thanks; ponyo - selling fast and sold out in a flash; yes man - never really looked appealing; australia - what the hell is this about? so yeap, that kinda summed up what we felt on that day. so when the 2 late guys arrived, we changed our minds and went over to paradiz for lan. but before that, some of us desperately needed lunch, so it was off to macdonalds.

after finishing the meal we just sat there and lazed. and out of the blue, my friend asked, "HEY... how about coming over to my house for bbq action?"
it was a brilliant idea. right after spamming our handphones informing others about our plan of action, we walked back to plaza singapura's carrefour and did some shopping for bbq food and necessities. tiring but nevertheless it was a fun process, no wonder some mothers LOVE going to the supermarkets LOL.

so after shopping was done, it was off to quek's house! ain't gonna describe everything but it took quite some time to eventually get the fire started (using huge aluminum trays as the bbq pit) and take the first bite of food. but we wouldn't have been able to if not for quek's parents, who helped us out alot, hah. so there were like 2 main groups of people there. one group was playing mahjong while we fed them with food (rofl), while the other was there cooking the food. i sort of drifted between both groups, lol. after midnight, everybody grew tired, and those doing the bbq went into the house to play the ps3, while those playing mahjong previously busied themselves with the food and bbq. then when most of the food was gone and finished, leaving behind several sticks of satay still uneaten, i went out to finish the job. it was never completed though LOL.

then we had soccer at a nearby basketball court. it was thrilling because we played in darkness. it wasn't entirely pitch black, thanks to abit of light coming from the shelter next to it, but still, it was one hell of an experience. goddamn it was sure fun. played from about 4am to 5.30am, went back to quek's house, cleaned up, a couple went to bathe while the rest played the ps3 again. then we went home as soon as everyone was ready to go off.

the most enjoyable outing with my peeps so far. it shall be marked. :)

right, on to more recent stuff. got a couple of new tee-shirts and polo tees, cheap and good ones from Giordano etc.

my first gym sessions since months made my muscles so sore i was fucking limited in my movement, but after about a week i was back to normal again. can still feel a little abit of stretch at some parts of my body though.

got my samsung PIXON on friday night! they finally called me after i waited for 5 days. cost me $538 with a 2-year singtel classic plan, damn heart pain la. :( nevertheless, it's a worthy buy! 8mp camera goodness, mmm... time for some seriouz camwhore shiz man LOL. pictures coming right up (none of the actual phone itself though, just a few of the box and stuff).

2009-01-04T12:51:00.001+08:00

will update about everything that happened during the christmas and new year periods as soon as i get back from my gym session.

yes you got that right suckers, GYM.

celebrated his birthday by having dinner at plaza singapura's (ps) the manhattan fish market. originally wanted to get a wallet as a present for him, but didn't manage to find one because there wasn't one to be found in the first place. the variety of clothes in ps can be rich and fulfilling, but the lack of an accessories store for men (one that sells wallets, bags, etc.) can give one a headache if he/she decides to get such a gift impromptu.

anyway, let's move on the food, shall we? quantity and quality-wise, manhanttan fish market clearly wins fish&co. the meals were also value-for-money, and for $9.90++ you can get a fish n chips set similar to that of fish&co.'s which probably costs $13.90++ if i remember correctly. the platter i ordered was also delicious, especially the flaming prawns. well my friend who recommended us the restaurant said the meaning was supposed to be literal, but turns out, nothing came out. just the waiter bringing my platter to me, used some huge lighter or blow-torch thingy and flamed the prawns, and after several seconds it was handed to me; no fire or whatsoever (not like i was badly affected or anything). the sauce/gravy they used to "spice up" the flaming prawns was awesome. it was somewhat like tartar sauce mixed with cheese and a little bit of "white wine... eh, no, it's red wine... i mean white wine, yes white" wine (as said by my friend who's very particular about such fine little details). oh, and i had coke float ($4.90) as well, but to me the drinks were just normal.

total damage for 9 people: $200.80 including gst and service tax, which i honestly think is a decent price for such a delightful meal. definitely the choice to be when you're thinking of eating seafood that's bang for buck and won't tear that wallet of yours in two.

and i shan't mention what jiajian did back then in the restaurant, however it was very brave of him and everybody deserves a chance. you'll never know until you try. good one, jj.

2008-12-13T22:47:00.002+08:00

soccer was definitely better today, even though the turnout still wasn't what i truely hoped for. man, still hoping for the day we can play 11-a-side with serious-mode switched on.
scored one or two today, but now i'm beginning to enjoy playmaking whenever i get the chance to.

tired, signing off.

111208; the day the earth stood still

i'm not going to be too elaborative on this one. sitting on the very first row SUCKS big time though.

so, it was about some extra terrestrial objects (spheres to be exact) that crashed down into various spots on the earth, and the biggest one which eventually produced the main star (keanu reeves) and some huge robotic indestructible thingy (which, i must say, the artists really need to go back to the drawing room for this one). so keanu reeves, acting as the alien named "klatu", was on a mission - to save earth. note how he so cleverly disguised his actual intentions by saying "earth", NOT "earthlings" nor "humans" for that matter. of course, as a natural human reaction, everyone got a huge shock and things started to get a little rough for our foreign friend, with co-star jennifer connelly (acting as helen benson if i'm not wrong) helping him along and playing a rather big role in this movie as well.

so then, the american military finally devised a method to trap the huge robot and brought it to some military research facility. by then, the "process" had already started. the robot has the ability to disintegrate itself into (insert any huge number here) of metallic-looking grasshoppers that in turn, have the ability to turn any (and i mean ANY) material/object into its buddy (yes, imagine your television "corroding" into those bugs). now, away from all these destruction, klatu witnesses the other side of human beings - love, and how true feelings reveal themselves in times of adversity. what unrolls from the plot was something straight out of some anime, klatu's heart melted and he got touched by the sight of helen and her son hugging each other (with tears rolling from their eyes), so he changed his mind, and proceeded to save mankind then. how? just by touching that ball of swirling clouds and light. easy as abc, 123.

done with my mini-review. i missed out some parts, but gah, who cares.
oh before i forget, overall rating - 3/5

081208; of field soccer and shopping

had a field soccer session last saturday morning. or rather, early afternoon.
it wasn't satisfying. after playing on the courts for nearly a year, my touches on the field and everything about me was c-r-a-p-p-y. still managed to score one goal though, heh.

the day before soccer i went over to queensway with a couple of friends to buy my soccer boots. wanted to buy the nike total 90 laser ii but well, let's just say it wasn't my day. the shops which had my size don't even bother to listen to my bargains, and those which did, they don't have my size. which just plain sucks because i had set my sights on that pair since quite some time ago.so then, since i was kinda urgent to get my boots for soccer the next day, i settled on an adidas predator powerswerve:
so anyway, that's that. had ktv yesterday night, talked way into the wee hours of morning after it, took a cab home, slept til about 2pm today, then went to bugis for another shopping "spree".
bought an everlast sneaker for $35.90 from og, credits to quek.

in a rush, signing out.

291108; fuck terrorism

just yesterday, one of our fellow countrymen died at the hands of terrorists who raided the some hotel in mumbai, india.

RIP fellow singaporean, and my deepest condolences to the family, relatives and friends of the victim. the victim (a female) was held hostage at the hotel she was accommodating at when terrorists attacked the city a couple of days ago, lobbing hand grenades and firing their guns at people. she suffered a tragic death yesterday, and news came in sometime at night (i think).

i'm still not too sure about what really happened, because i was away enjoying myself at the kallang cage, but when i reached home and surfed sgclub, such shocking news greeted me. i was appalled. despite the singaporean government's desperate attempts to salvage the hostage situation (in such cases, the priority of getting your citizens safely out of the danger zone comes first), but to think the terrorists had actually went on to kill the woman, i was truly angered. those assholes deserve to be labelled as animals, and that is already humble enough. the act itself was absolutely inhumane. there was no ultimatum, nothing was said and poof, she's gone. perhaps much of the truth has been hidden from the scrutiny of the singaporean public by the government, but still, such cowardly tactics is uncalled and unjustified. an innocent bystander caught up in the tangles of extremism and insanity, so-called "correction for the good of the world"?

immature as my next line might be, but i hope these scums of the earth die a horrible death, and maybe a photograph of them dying in positions that suggest they were having anal sex with each other could provide some comical relief.

2008-11-25T21:54:00.002+08:00

251108; i'm back

i hate catia. i seriously find it meaningless to assess us on catia when,

1. we don't have the program at home
2. the school cannot afford to provide us with the program because it costs over a thousand dollars
3. "download torrent one la". yes, anybody could have thought of that, but please, downloading that kinda stuff IS ILLEGAL, and i suppose teachers are smart enough to know that, RIGHT?
4. "FREEEEE access, go for it!" fuck, it's free access, but most of the time we cannot book the workstations because there are lessons going on! wonderful indeed.

next, i strongly believe it's time for sp to reconsider improving some of the facilities in campus. take the field near foodcourt 5 for example. it's not even fucking green anymore. there are brown mud patches all over. when it rains, these patches collect water and if you decide to play soccer there, i tell you, you would be better off swimming.

the wireless connectivity. p-a-t-h-e-t-i-c. it takes ever so long just to connect to the wireless network, and on top of that, the speed is downright SLOW. loading youtube's main page can take up to 3-5 minutes. buffering a youtube video? forget it, go play some games you have in your laptop better la.

speaking of laptop, i have no idea why they made the purchase of one compulsory. i seldom use it for school work or admin stuff. my laptop was never meant for gaming but i guess it's place and role in my school life had changed. it has brought me such entertainment and fun (yes, even during lessons). the games that used to lag like shit on my old desktop, i could now play them smoothly (or rather, quite smoothly) on the laptop. and fuck, why do hardware prices depreciate so quickly. it cost about a few hundreds less (~$1400) than the price of my laptop (~$1800) and the specs are sooo much better than the high-end model they offered in my enrolment year (fyi, my model is the low-end one, the high-end model cost ~$2100 iirc).

too much rants going on in my thoughts, now it feels good that i have let off abit of steam. lol.

2008-11-15T00:10:00.002+08:00

151108; amazing-ness

seems like kelvin ong, our acc lecturer for the previous sem, wasn't just all-talk-no-action. he's actually pretty good in football. i actually have nothing but praises for his goalkeeping. he knows how to make himself appear big in front of goal and in 1-on-1 situations. he may not be a good lecturer, but he does know how to have fun. i was thinking he could have been better off being a teacher dedicated to one cca (soccer? hehe) instead of having to teach acc, LOL.

i have also learnt never ever to underestimate people again. I GOT OWNED BY PEOPLE NEARLY TWICE MY AGE OMGWTFLOL. but seriously, both the sp and tp staff were good. i am from sp, however as much as i wish to take the side of my school, i would have to admit tp was the better team of the match. perhaps they train regularly, and the amount of stamina they have, brilliant i would say. i was almost breathless ONLY AFTER 15-20 minutes of play, SUCKY SIOL.

i hope there's another match next week, i'm really eager to play.

2008-11-13T00:00:00.002+08:00

131108; rain, rain and more rain, urgh

was wondering if i should get myself a camera so i can fill up my blog with some pictures, other than having to read walls of text (wot), which really gets boring after some time.

yes i feel your pain, my readers!

if i even had readers to begin with.

guess i should wait til 27th november for sitex at the singapore expo and purchase a decent digital camera (or maybe even a canon/nikon dslr?! screw yourself, alex). hmm, budget... perhaps, a range of $300-500 would be good enough? anyway it's not like i'm taking up photography; figured it would kinda be more meaningful to take down some candid or beautiful moments of my rather eventless life...

right after typing out this post, my mind is kinda half-decided on getting a camera already. beat down the impulse just yet, alex!

2008-11-08T18:48:00.002+08:00

081108; symmetry!

rant 1
never got to playing soccer on friday, that event was... disappointing. it was 5v5 soccer but the area used was smaller than a street soccer court. i can't figure how 10 players can squeeze into the playing area and actually PLAY SOCCER IN IT. maybe that's the kinda standard you get since everything was free.

rant 2
WHERE IS MY EVENT TEE-SHIRT! :(

rant 3
the new mcspicy patty - one word - bullshit. at first glance you would have mistaken it for a mcchicken. seriously, what the hell is wrong with the people at macdonalds nowadays? the size of the burgers are forever decreasing; mcspicy double was taken off the menu; the mcspicy patty before it was changed to the current was made up of 90% oil, and the rest being the meat itself. and now, this change to the new patty. it's absolutely uncalled for. it was so dry (oh maybe they were starting to get health conscious too, the drastic decrease in oil literally dripping from the burger was noticeable); the meat was hard (breast meat instead of the thigh?); and it doesn't deserve to be called mcspicy, because it wasn't, not one bit.

therefore, imma boycotting macs from now on, unless i have little choice.

argh, i couldn't score a single goal today, fucking disappointed with myself.

2008-11-02T18:17:00.002+08:00

021108; damn spurs

fuck.

just a few days after liverpool broke the record at stamford bridge, tottenham broke the reds' unbeaten record for the league. it was really disappointing, especially seeing liverpool hold for so long, but they gave away possession too easily in the second half. add on a couple of unlucky shots which hit the bar instead in the back of the net, it was just depressing man.

it may only be a loss, but it can be significant. especially after you have had a great start to this season, and then a loss to a team from the bottom of the table, a team involved in so much controversy, i'm really afraid liverpool might lose it's momentum and fumble. but, i'm still hoping they can pick themselves up, because afterall, spurs did have quite a fair bit of luck with them.

again, there was no soccer this week, and my legs... well let's just say they will forever be itching for soccer. sometimes it makes me wonder why i never really started playing soccer when i was really young. the paper chase culture in singapore... haiz.

i feel disgusted. after seeing how someone's MSN nick has changed over the past couple of days, i really am. i don't know how to explain it. it feels like you're talking to some xiao mei mei (xmm) on the instant messaging service. like she's trying to act cute by typing in such a manner that may attract other guys but definitely not me. aiya, fuck, why am i even bothering.

our class just got awesome news that productivity-man won't be our mechanics 2 + class tutor! it's still gonna remain as kapotine (spell check?), so yes, same old, same old. you should have seen our reaction when we got the call from kapotine - epic and thoroughly emotional. lol.

so here's the long-but-still-quite-short story: kapotine called john a few days back, informing us that mr. productivity was gonna be our new mech 2 + class tutor. upon hearing the news, we were horrified. we were frustrated. we were... just feeling oh-so-shitty (shan't elaborate on the reasons). but just today, wonderful news came in! that the change was cancelled! we literally jumped for joy and screamed our hearts out. it was such a refresher, i thought i could have gone on and on for another several hours of CEM, LOL.

26October2008; The day the Fortress fell.

LIVERPOOL HAS DONE IT! TODAY IS THE DAY THE HOME RECORD OF STAMFORD BRIDGE IS BROKEN!
Score at full-time: Liverpool 1 - 0 Chelsea

WOOOOTSSS!!! This is fucking solid proof to those naysayers who say Liverpool needs Torres to win. Blahblahblah. We may love the El Nino, but it doesn't necessarily mean we need him to win. Oh and did I forget to mention, we had more chances than Chelsea? Hahaha.
Okay, enough of celebrations, I thought Chelsea put up a great fight as well and Alonso's goal had a little bit of luck behind it. BUT WHO CARES LOL. The result is all that matters.

Okay after watching that exhilarating match, I REALLY feel like playing field soccer. Crappp.

2008-10-19T00:54:00.002+08:00

191008

Didn't have the usual street soccer session in the morning, and I'm DYING to seriously kick some balls and score some goals.

Liverpool just made an absolutely thrilling comeback AGAIN earlier on against Wigan. The match nearly gave Liverpool's fans a heart-attack I swear, especially after watching Zaki take the lead for Wigan twice in that game. Great match really.

My legs are itching. In fact, they always do, after watching soccer matches. So yeah obviously they're itching for some action on the field. I wonder when's the next time I can kick on a pitch instead of on the court, but it's just too hard to make the numbers.
I'm also itching to play at NYP again. It's hockey pitch can be summed up with one word - shiok. But Imma try to bring my shoes the next time me and my friends do get to playing soccer there.

Watched "Max Payne" yesterday. Crappy movie. It was a waste of money and time. The plot had so many loopholes and several questions were left unanswered after the show finished. There were too many climaxes during the course of the movie, and any one of them could have qualified as an finale to the entire show itself, but then a twist occurs out of the blue, and I was thrown back into the story, confused.
Overall rating: 2/5 (a little credit for some amazing CG incorporated and a good setting)

ohh ohh, i'm not dead yet. not really ready to give in to my reluctance to blog, lol.

first week of school... has been rather, interesting and funny. i can't really count the number of times my funny bone was tickled so far.
i shall not elaborate on how one of my lecturers mispronounced my friend's name so that it sounded like buttocks in hokkien - kah chng.

i just saw a thread in the backyard asking if singapore's standard of education is dropping or not. well looking and comparing between some really old past year papers from TYS books for both the 'O' and 'A' Levels and present papers, i would say yes, but only to the extent of the standard of the exam papers. however, it's not really a similar case when it concerns content.

sometimes i look back at myself during the secondary school years, and realised how carefree and relaxed i was back then. looking at my younger brother now, the differences are rather vast. the amount of information in the textbook (especially science subjects) is so much that i don't think i could have been able to meet expectations placed by my parents upon me. yes, papers may "seem" easier to do and score, but after being "forced" (unless you don't feel like scoring well for your exams :x) to memorise all the definitions, formula, explanations, etc., coping with the overwhelming content from textbooks, notes, and such can prove to be an uphill task.

shit la, my sentence structure in this post is all wrong and my choice of words is... horrible. Lol.

2008-09-17T14:35:00.003+08:00

well just checked my results from mysas.

semester gpa: 3.192
cumulative gpa: 3.28
ALLOWED TO CONTINUE IN THE COURSE (huge sigh of relief there)

expected this kinda results, knowing how i messed up almost all my papers except for engineering materials 2 (hehe).
can't believe i actually got C+ for rwp, i mean the online plagiarism checker is like fucked up, they even highlighted my headings and sub-headings, saying i copied from another person's report. LIKE DUH. group members having the similar headings, how wrong can that be? that online checker is bullshit; i feel that i deserved at least a B for rwp la, kanasai!

tomorrow morning - CEM results. i just don't feel good about it. haiz.

2008-09-09T02:06:00.002+08:00

090908; why do i always unknowingly blog on such beautiful dates?

first week of holidays have passed by. it was a bad and good week.
bad because fever and co. decided to pay me a visit. the sore throat has sort of subsided but i can still slightly feel the... sore-ness of it. the fever lasted for two or actually, three days. i went to the doctor, but the only medicine i finished were the sore throat lozenges. the fever tablets were damn effective, after taking it for a couple of times i was feeling better already. i never got to taking the cough syrup yet though, because cough is supposed follow up after sore throat, and my sore throat still hasn't given up on me yet! fuck it.

there's seriously nothing to do at home. goddammit why can't i work part-time just because i'm in a contract? arghh it's not like they have LOADS of stuff to do with me during the hols. fuck it, again.

ah one might start wondering if there's any positives in my life at all. DUH. what else but soccer? no doubt i feel joyous just kicking the soccer ball, but when you see your ball cross the goal line and hitting the back of the net, the feeling's... indescribable. even if you've scored a thousand goals in your lifetime, the 1001st goal still feels very much like the first goal you have ever scored.

sometimes i fear for the future, when everybody is gonna get old and busy with work and family. will soccer be "kicked" out of the picture? will me and my friends be able to do what we have always enjoyed since our secondary school days? i don't think i can bear to give it up. soccer was what brought the boys in class together, it was and holds something everyone had in common.
i can only hope that we will not forget the value of the sport and bonds that have developed through the many years.

2008-08-28T23:33:00.002+08:00

280808; end of exams/start of holidays and the date is such a nice number

ah, what better way to end off the examinations than with a paper which i am confident of getting at least a B grade or better. how i wish life was always this good. three cheers and a glass of champagne for mr alan tham, your tips were the best, seriously. unlike some lecturers... (read: ACC)

the exam period (2 weeks) had been a hell of a time for me. almost every paper i had was out to kill me. i actually felt depressed doing the papers. especially engineering maths 3. that was total bullshit. the past year papers were so freaking easy, you'd think they were primary school practise worksheets. even without really paying attention in class, the formula booklet and a working brain would suffice for those papers. but during the actual thing, reality gave me a wake-up call. i was thrown off-guard. i was completely in the paper's mercy. one part of me just wanted to tear up the paper so bad, even the setter wouldn't be able to recognize it if he managed to piece the bits back together. but i couldn't. i couldn't bear the see my hopes dashed right infront of my very eyes, my brain being the mastermind and hands the accomplices.

the open window seemed ever so inviting that day, calling me, to ascend (or rather, to descend) upon the pathway to freedom.

procrastination. when will i ever be able to overcome this obstacle, standing in my way to success (and a higher GPA)? even though i know all too well the responsibility lies upon my shoulders, i couldn't care less about it. i neglected it, and let it overwhelm me, until i became the lazy and half-hearted asshole of a person whose revision philosophies and principles were "last minute revision sure can one lah, steady". i've wronged myself.

i need change. will it come? i can only stand by and await its arrival. and i hope it makes a grand entrance.

2008-08-17T22:24:00.002+08:00

170808; screw the exams and it's another short post!

yes, fuck the exams. fuck the no-study-break-which-means-i-am-so-gonna-flunk-my-papers system now. fuck the new principal. give us longer mid semester break for fuck? that means we no longer have about one or two weeks worth of time to revise for our papers. what's more, we have to complete reports and all kinds of shit RIGHT before our exams. how smart of you.
sure was a mistake on my part to procrastinate, but still, FUCK YOU! :D

a preview of how i'm gonna my semester vacations: -

swimming at least 2-3 times a week
gym once a week
no fucking idea right now

okay, let's do this.

dang how i wished i had went for singfest. the atmosphere there was so crazy and high man! but i got put off by the really expensive ticket prices though... -sigh-

rwp to be in by tomorrow, i think i'm gonna be penalised very heavily for plagiarism. i mean there's like tonnes of technical terms and terminology in the info i researched on, how the hell am i supposed to rephrase those "chimology"?! gah, i'm so relieved it's gonna end soon.

like i promised, short post. heh.

Was supposed to study today, wanted to get started for DE but I failed, horribly. I took out my notes, read the first few pages then got distracted because of D2. LOL, I'm so goddam pathetic uh. It's okay, after my street soccer session tomorrow, I shall seriously starting mugging!

For now, it's time for asa.tv LOL just kidding.

-Pops champagne and flings confetti over this blog-

It's my new blog! Three cheers! :D

Okay, I was seriously bored when I decided to do up a new blogspot blog, and I dunno what the hell made me do it. For those who wanna get to know a little bit more about the guy who's typing this post right now, do move your mouse over to the left hand side of your screen and click on that link named "Previous Blog" (yeah my old blog if you're that dumb LOL).

Sometimes you just gotta love the anonymity the Internet "empowers" us with. Me and my bastard (HAHA) classmates have been busy, over the past few days, spamming a tagboard of some random blog we found when we Google-image-searched "jxx jxx". Guess the name we used for the nick.

"Hardogay". Brilliant idea by John, wonderful implementation by John, yet again! He never fails to amuse me with his antics. Nevertheless, he's a selfless guy when it comes to class participation and studies. -Pours champagne into his glass-

And so yeah, you can pretty much guess what we spammed in the tagboard. Stuff like "WATASHI WA HARDOOOGAAAYYY WOOOOO!!!" Man, I had the best laughs in like months LOL. I don't really wanna continue with the story because, anonymity on the net has its limits too. But for those friends of mine, let's celebrate, HAHAHA.

Off to D2.
