If you haven't watched Death Note ep25, don't read this. It contains a huge ass spoiler you don't want to know if you're the least bit interested in the show.No really. Don't.So I was walking up towards the computer labs from the canteen, after a good lunch, with Graham. And because he was telling me to watch Death Note the other day, I caught up with it, having finished …
This sucks.Yesterday I was practicing my guitar... practise until damn shiok. Also practise until my calluses were sliced off can you believe it (no didn't hurt).And then today.Pain~ T_T"On closer examination of my fingers I was surprised to find that I was fretting with fresh tender skin. I was like what the hell? Weren't they fine yesterday? I knew I'd played some skin off …
Well. I woke up from a 5pm-10pm nap (power nap my ass...) and I'm still sleepy as hell. If the next time I wake up is at 7 tomorrow morning, I'll know that I was officially sleep-deprived.Yeah. I've been stoning at this point of the post wondering what to say. Then I realized I had nothing.Well ok. I was just about to setup the anime blog on Wordpress when I was suddenly just …
I'm setting up an anime blog tomorrow morning with a friend, Ryan mentioned in the Jing Cheong Chinaman post. Watch out for it.
It's not really nice to make fun of people's names, and that's not what I'm doing, I hope. It just happened to be a sad coincidence.I have this lecturer who shows an atrocious ignorance for the format of Chinese/English names, meaning names with [surname/last name][Chinese name][given name/first name]. And this module, Nutrition in Practice (yes it's silly. and tough), is a …
Okay so isn't this great? I go to school for a one and an half hour lesson which consists of two presentations totally irrelevant to me and probably the rest of the class and somewhere at the start of the second one after decoding about half a paragraph of discursive runes (more on that later) I give up and walk out to find a much more interesting and arguably more educative …
Onepa #2 is my newest ringtone. Cut it to start at the wailing chorus.This is the live recording, which I like better than the studio/standard one cos it's got the groovy snarework at the front too, instead of in the bridge in the standard version.And this is a sidesplitting parody of Vitas's eccentric moves by a user lip-syncing to the song, presumably East European as well …
Second Life is not a game. It never was.Second Life is an ‘Internet-based virtual world’ (‘Second Life’, 2007), designed, indeed, to let users live their second lives there. Granted, there …
I still have yet to find a CGI-rendered version of Bleach's Kuchiki Byakuya's Senbonzakura effect, the way people do their own lightsaber videos.Will I be the first?
I was just burning a couple of CDs just now when I realized how little RAM the burner was taking up.I commented to Kaiyan how I remembered I had to drop every other task on the computer and stare at the screen in silence when I was burning a CD on my old computer, because everything just becomes unusable with the lag, and also because of the fear of corrupting the data should …
My brother can be a real bitch, but there are times when the questions he asks makes you wonder why he got into Hwa Chong Institution. This is the most recent of those priceless moments.Renjie: [looking at leather belt pics] ... what is ker-mel?Renhao: ...? [looks over]Renjie: Oh! Camel!
I don't think any of you missed it, since COM242 has the whole BAC population present I think. So unless you were sick or couldn't be bothered to come for class, you wouldn't have missed Eunice's/Lirong's birthday video.For those who do not yet know, I did this video using Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0. I bragged about it in the credits for the whole damn world to see, partly …
Inspired by Kevin's post about Singapore's profit-minded cab drivers, here's my story.Oh no. Stories.First there was that time in secondary school, where some East-ers including me were looking for a cab to share around the Little India area at around 10, close to 11.We waved and shouted at the many that passed by. Mason, my then-class monitor, saw one with a FREE sign in …
I was reading fleck33's post on his blog Kopi Siu Tai, Don't Look Down on 5 Cents, referred from ping.sg. In it, he/she described how his/her Good Friday was ruined when a kopi stall auntie advised him/her not to give so many 5 cent coins next time - maximum 2. The number of 5c coins he gave?4.I would really make noise if I was paid 10 5c coins and above, but 4 is a perfectly …
So I finally got the heck out of Orientation Island. After visiting Lion City for abit, I headed for the one island that's been on my mind ever since it was mentioned by Kevin.Samurai Island.Those who know me well enough probably won't find it much of a surprise, given my fascination (obsession?) with Japanese anime. And if going around slashing people with katanas is …
Yesterday, Thursday, was the first time in like two months that Graham, Hans and I managed to find time to go play pool at our favourite haunt, Mambo Billiards at Bukit Timah Plaza, during the especially long 4-hour break in between lessons (fantastic scheduling right... lucky we got BTP and KAP and Beauty World nearby). The Thursdays of the past 5 weeks have been plagued …
While eating a first-class lunch of Maggi Mee just now I realised my phone was ringing in my room. I got up and dashed towards my room.As an aside, it's like some cruel electronic joke when you press the pick-up button and the other side puts down. So close yet so far.I kept trying to call back the unfamiliar number, only to be rejected with 'number busy' messages/tones. …
... of Orientation Island.At first I didn't know we were to complete the four 'entrance' tutorials, or 'big star' tutorials, to get the Mainland Passport, and then when I did, it was at school, where teleporting logs you out of SL. -.-"So yep. To Lion City!... ok. This is live. I've just been logged out of SL.WHAT THE HECK?!Dohh this is ridiculous, just when I thought …
One of my worst weekends ever. It would have been perfect if it was the holidays, because I ate slept and found means of entertaining myself. Considering though that exams are in a month and I have a whole load of presentations and projects to finish in the coming week or two, this weekend was an utter nightmare. I got nothing done. Kept checking Twitter and Ping (not blaming …
Related posts:Technologically April Fools'Technologically April Fools' - Trap Set!My brother reacted spectacularly.Spectacularly mildly.I got back from buying lunch, and he went 'Eh gor ah, now my mouse is screwed up leh. Left button is right button and right button is left button.'Then he went on eating his Macdonald's wedges.Update later regarding the double-click speed...
