Blame it on the weather, but Im a mess

old habits never seem to go away

2011 has ended and to say that it was uneventful would be a massive lie.

heres a list of notable things in 2011

good memories:
Come to think of it, I cant name one lol!

bad memories:
1) I GOT CONSCRIPTED

2) raged more than usual one the roads thanks to an increasing number of crazy unskilled and speed-differentiation deficient drivers.

3) adopted a massive hatred for monkeys

4) spent a hell load of money cause i wanted everything i saw.
not sure if good or bad memories:
1) ended my polytechnic education by obtaining a diploma.(not sure if good or bad because my gpa sucks balls and i cant really go anywhere with it. also, i used to hate school but now when someone talks about how dreadful school is, i get a massive urge to tell them that schooling is at least 3x better than whatever comes after you graduate.

2) had massive emotional issues.

3) became so bored i actually read books in front of my computer

4) got a clerical vocation but office location is approximately 40km away from home and i actually have to OT without ANY extra pay

Other notable things:

Finally got a smartphone WITH a data plan(looking back, ive been using smartphones since 2007 and it was really retarded to have all those functions that you cant use because you dint have a data plan.) and am no longer frantically searching for free wi fi everywhere i go.

got a pair of audiophile earphones(though im not sure how high up the range they are, they are definitely at least 2x better than the ones that come with you mobile phones/ipods)

officially stopped competitive benchmarking and ocing

cleared my study and bedroom before enlistment only to have it looking like a dumping ground again after just 2 months. (therefore we can conclude that there is completely no point in clearing my room)

memories aside, i went to JB premium outlets on friday and it was terrible.

The prices are indeed lower than sg but the shopping experience is completely different. its as though the things there are cheaper because you pay less for service. or rather its because there is hardly any service at all.

walk into almost any boutique in sg and youll at least have 1 sales person coming over to say hi or can i help you.

over there, most shops only have 1 cashier and perhaps 2 sales assistants and they mostly just stare at you and try to be as unhelpful as possible.

products there also seem to be in bad condition as they look like about 1000 people touch and try them on every day. the belt buckles in burberry were so tarnished they looked almost black despite actually being silver/chrome

if i were to spend 10000 on a bag, id rather have great service and for my product to look brand new than to save a few hundred dollars to get a bag that looks used. i mean think about it, if you had the capacity to pay 10k for a bag, would you want to save a few hundred dollars or maybe even a thousand dollars BUT get something that looks used?

ive forgotten what else i want to blog about so thats all for now and happy new year!

people who do not deliver their side of the deal ought to be circumsized with a rusty blunt butter knife and then have their eyeballs gouged and fed to them

2011-12-21T20:43:00.000+08:00

I hate it when someone goes back on their word especially if it was an agreement I was reluctant to make and the other party was the eager one.

Why beg me to agree when you arent prepared to deliver what you promised?

I should have known, considering all the times you've broken your promises and gone back on your word.

Looking back, I was extremely naive to believe that you would actually keep your end of the deal, knowing first hand that you are the sort of person who expects the world to revolve around you. You expect the person you borrowed money from to come all the fucking way to your doorstep and wait while you drag your saggy ass down to return a portion of what you owe, refusing to use bank transfers because the one minute it takes to do that is too much too waste given your fucking saggy assed pampered life.

You beg for help and whine like a little girl when in deep shit while refusing to listen to the very advice you seek.

I sincerely hope a thousand hornets impale you the next time you go outside.

As mentioned above, I hate it when someone goes back on their word. I do not deny that I do break promises or agreements but I try to make it as painless/troublesome for the other party as possible. I also at least try to work out an alternative solution with the other person as soon as I know i am unable to deliver what I agreed to.

What makes me seethe even more is when the person fails to keep his end of the deal and keeps mum and tries so hard to avoid contact to the extent that it is extremely obvious what he is doing despite being given a grace of about 2 months.

Did you really think avoiding me would solve your issues? How long exactly do you think you can keep your issues at bay? It would have been less of a hassle to at least spend 5 minutes of your worthless life to work out an alternative that to do what you have done. Sure, avoiding me requires no work and no hassles but have you thought of the consequences? No? Well bully for you.

Fucked up Gen Z kids aside, I unlocked several achievement badges this week. I got the "Crazily spend more than 1.5x your monthly pay in 2 weeks" and "Suddenly spending like a mad shit just because you felt like it". Id probably have unlocked a hell load more if the achievement list existed :/

I was shitting in my toilet on monday morning when I thought to myself, eh why nowadays almost everyone seems to be using non stock earphones(and a hell load of that population are sporting FAKEEEEE monster beats studio headphones) ah? Compressed Mp3 format use zai earphone can tell the difference meh?

Actually, Ive always been asking people that question and everyone who owns relatively good sound systems/headphones tell me yes, there are differences in sound quality but I never believed them.

So exactly as I was asking myself that question again on Monday morning, I saw a thread on a local forum on amazon buys and everyone seemed have camped for a certain pair of earphones on black friday a few weeks ago.

I spent the day looking the product up and found a seller and decided to purchase it as a christmas gift for myself since no fucking person I know would like to give me a christmas present despite me hinting(subtly and also extremely obviously) about me never getting anything since 10 years old. Its also always the same when it comes to my birthdays. The common excuse is that they dont know what to get me considering I have everything I want/ I buy myself everything I want. Well, have you considered ASKING ME WHAT I WANT? Also, did you not hear me say Id also be thrilled if you gave me a teletubby plush toy as long as its wrapped or has a ribbon on it saying GIFT. I just want to get something you know?  Its no fun buying yourself stuff.

Rants aside, this is what I bought

                                 The box

The flap on the lid

Huge oddly shaped earphones

Being a noob at audio technology, I got these Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 ear buds since everyone on edmw was hooting it during the amazon black friday sale.

I missed it during black friday so I bought it off someone who bought extra to resell. Dint pay much more than he did anyway. He got them at 190 and I got them off him for 210.

I must admit, even my compressed Mp3s(320kbps) sounded crispier and there were things Ive never heard from songs that I have been listening to for years. In other words, there really is a difference(though Im not sure if there is any if you bought the fake monstar beets).

Tried it out with my laptop and a 1080p movie with 5.1 dts and it was awesome.

The downside of this thing is that the drivers are extremely huge and the shape of the earpiece is weird which makes it hard to keep. The cables are also plasticy(though its made this way to be anti tangle I think its more because its cheaper) because it IS made of some sort of plastic. The cable is also very short which is going to make using them an issue if you want to sort of sit back a little from your laptop screen while watching a movie.

Either way, not a buy for my first ever audiophile product and also my first item purchased off a non retail shop!

Have to go put pins in the eyes of the voodoo doll I made for the guy who dint deliver now, ta ta

ill tear this world asunder

2011-12-11T21:41:00.001+08:00

I cant seem to get myself interested in anything. be it games, movies, music or just making simple conversation.

It's like im just going through the motions and not really absorbing or enjoying what im doing.

Freedom on weekends just doesnt seem the same knowing youll have to get back to mundane 'work' on monday.

I guess it's also alot harder to enjoy what you used to enjoy when you arent sure what emotions you're feeling at that moment.

whining aside, ive completed assassin's creed revelations last week and i must say it isnt as bad as i thought it would be. considering that it's the 3rd creed game based on ezio's journey, id thought ubisoft would have run out of creative storylines but i was wrong.

also watched already famous, puss in boots and the adventures of tintin.

im not sure if it's due to my current lack of interest in everything, but i must say all 3 movies were rather bad. already famous was the worst of all. cheesy jokes and constantly repeated soundtrack makes the film seem like it was incredibly low-budget. It's like the movie ost only had 3 songs in it.

The other 2 films were not as bad but still wasnt as good as i expected them to be.

blew almost a month's allowance on clothes yesterday at robinson's warehouse sale.

makes me wonder if ill end up losing money over the next 2 years instead of eing able to save up almost every cent of my allowance as I previously intended.

addicted to the way we crash and fall

2011-12-01T21:40:00.001+08:00

so i bought something from amazon on black friday, and was anxiously anticipating the arrival of my purchase when i saw this

its not hard to imagine how hard i fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ed when i saw that.

i mean come on, its already in singapore and it has cleared customs. what could the external delay possibly be? was it the pouring rain that swept all the dhl trucks into the sea? or was it that my item was frozen due to the sub zero temperatures it was exposed to in the air cargo hold?

or maybe someone ate it by mistake.

HOW CAN DELIVERY BE DELAYED FOR MORE THAN 12 HOURS WHEN THE ITEM IS ALREADY IN THE COUNTRY???????????????????

why is it that i run into issues every single time i deal with things that have to be shipped, delivered or mailed? the global postal/delivery service council/committee must have flagged me for terrible service because there hasnt been a single delivery that ive received that wasnt late,delayed or messed up.

i guess the estimated delivery date is some sort of consolation. at least if it comes on 4th dec i can technically say it arrived early despite being delayed in singapore for 3 days.

i do hope it comes tomorrow, so that ill at least have something to look forward to besides vomitting and sitting in the toilet.

ive gotten 3 days mc for food poisoning and viral infection which essentially makes this week, a 1 and a half day work week for me. if jon sees this im quite sure hes gona fuuuuuuuuuuuu harder than i fuuuuuuu ed when i saw the delay. which is why im saying it here any way trollface.jpg

since everyone in the usual gang has been enlisted, i hardly have anyone to talk to or crap with when im bored. i have so much free time i can plot the assasination of the teletubbies and still have time to think about a thousand ways to make barney(the purple dinosaur, not stinson) and friends(dj, baby bop etc) never smile again.

come to think of it, i might have lobotomized blue, the crazy blue bitch that loves to leave muddy footprints all over the place thinking it's a cute and creative way to make everyone sherlock holmes, in one of my dreams when i dozed off while staring at currency boards.

i am rather disappointed with my blackberry. i like how it is fluid and mostly lagless but the applications available for blackberries are just pathetic. most apps are iphone app rip offs and some fundamental apps either missing or not working properly eg: internet radio app.

its also really shitty having a non cam phone cos for some reason, ive been witnessing many photo worthy(or stomp worthy) events and i just cant take a pic cos i dont have a cam phone!

ive got to go now cos my ass is screaming to make contact with a toilet seat cover and my stomach is encouraging it.

lost in the darkness

2011-11-28T20:34:00.001+08:00

what an incredibly bad time to have an emotional overload.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

1 and a half month down, 691 fucking days to go

2011-11-19T12:55:00.001+08:00

as the title says, ive been conscripted for almost 2 months now and i have exactly 691 days(from today) before i am no longer a slave.why a slave? considering the amount of work to be done, the working hours and an hourly pay of 1.33333 dollars, id say its slave labour. im not sure how much foreign construction workers are paid a day but i think they are either paid more or the same but have lesser working hours(true fact based on all the construction work done in my area.
they usually start at around 830-9, break at 10-11, work again till 1, have lunch till 2 and then work till 4 or 5 and then sit around waiting for the transport back)

talking about about transport, ive been posted to a place approximately 40 km away from my home and have to travel to and fro every single day. did i mention i had to be there at 8am?the route is fine if i drive but as everyone knows, traffic jams can screw you up so badly it might be faster to take an mrt. the worst jam ive been in so far during these 2 weeks at mindef was about 40 minutes. 40 minute jams during school holidays and 'non peak' hours. i wonder how bad it would be when school starts again in the new year.

im also deprived of a cook house and have to pay for all my meals despite making 1.3333 dollars an hour.the perks of this job are that i get to wear civis after a month and i do not have to run around diving into mud in jungles screaming taking fire need assistance.

job scope aside, i recently purchased a blackberry because the computers in the office have no net connection. singtel however, screwed up this happy occasion by making me go down to their roadshow twice on different days and screwing up my subscription details and not activating my blackberry services even after 5 working days. life sucks when you are conscripted.

2011-10-06T23:16:00.000+08:00

Satisfied a year long durian craving at bedok 85's durian stall yesterday with ling le li hui jing ming jingzhe and keith. despite the price, i think we all agree that it was worth it. no idea when li hui will upload the pictures. when she does, ill post it here.went splurging(i dont call what i do shopping because i go there and i say ill take this this and this instead of looking around and hence i call it splurging because i instantly splurge) today for ns stuff. ns is expensive.bought a nokia x1 mobile phone from 7-11 which cost 65 dollars and a g shock protrek watch which cost........... 450 dollars.

the new stuff

my old watch on the left, new on the righti initially planned on getting a normal g shock with only stopwatch alarm timer tough solar and world clock but the thought of having a compass, thermometer, barometer, altitude meter and tide graph in your watch was just sooooooooo tempting and almost orgasmic.the all black normal g shock was also out of stock island wide(at least from g factory stores) so i took it as a sign(or divine intervention/higher calling looool) to give into temptation and get a watch that has almost everything.before i saw the prices, i actually had another model in mind. that one has everything my new one has but has an additional radio wave receiver inside it that lets the watch monitor radio frequencies and automatically sync the timing with radio stations. but of course that watch cost 1200 sgd so its definitely out of budget.gona play with my new toys now, byebye

what goes around comes back around but if you duck when it does, it'll go another round. repeat for inifite evasion of karma

2011-10-04T15:17:00.003+08:00

remember the ipod shuffle i got about 3 years ago? i took it out today to fill it up with music so that i can bring it into ns with me. im really surprised it still works and the sound quality isnt as bad as i remembered it to be.

the fact that i need itunes to even use it sucks. i now have one additional music/media player application on my computer which is absolutely useless. i guess i can use it as my main music player now that its much more user friendly. i also realised that i need an itunes store account to even get album art work. and creating an account requires credit card information. why is there even a need to have an account to get album art?

i like the shuffle system on the new itunes. when you press shuffle, your entire playlist is shuffled immediately and you can see whats coming next. i guess its also bad if you want to be kept in the dark about the next song. the new visualizations are also extremely captivating(although it does resemble shiny multi-colored sperms and eggs attempting to bond). im not sure what it uses but it sure looks like its direct x rendered.

(if the features mentioned above have been around since forever, please bear in mind that the last time i used itunes was around 5 years ago)

swimming on tuesdays arent meant to be since it has rained on tuesday mornings for the past 3 weeks(including today) this leaves me with nothing to do except to sit infront of my computer and stare at the itunes visualization since i cant exactly play games.

why cant i play games? my secondary graphics card is dead and i dont feel like playing any game if i cant play it at least on all high with at least 45 fps.

turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach

2011-10-02T23:26:00.003+08:00

every time I have quiet serene moments to myself and I think of death and what I want in life, I seem to always have this burst of motivation to do anything possible to achieve what I want. Sadly, when I wake up the next morning, groggy and pissed that sunlight is staking my eyes into the back of my skull, I will always seem to forget or lose the motivation I had the day/night before and usually end up wasting the next few days doing nothing constructive.

How I wish I had the mental strength to do every single thing I said/hoped/want/need to do.

on the side note,i also wish certain people had more Y chromosomes in them so that they wouldnt be so motherfucking critical over what is completely unimportant and be more focused on the big picture.

ive been putting off several posts because i feel that i have so much to say but yet i have no idea how to say it and whenever i think about how i should construct the post, i digress or make things even worse. with that said, i also have no idea how to end off this post because thoughts are rapidly zipping around in my head like the windows text screen saver(you know, the one where you can set a sentence like 'blow me' and it bounces around the screen) except that in my case they are WOTs and are constantly changing every second and are bouncing/zipping around like a drunk, heavily caffeinated, sonic the hedgehog wearing turbo boots on steriods.

show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time

2011-09-16T13:33:00.006+08:00

bought 40 dollars worth of 2nd hand books yesterday(3 for 10 dollah, do the math). noticed some books on sale in terrible state despite being less than 10 years old. i leave my books lying around covered in dust and they are in better state than what was on sale. makes me wonder how on earth they got to be this way. were they kept in garbage dumps and flipped with enough force to break a limb?

also caught johnny englandz last night. not worth a 9.50 weekend ticket price but since it was a week day and i had a discount, 7 dollars for it wasnt too bad. at least it helped to burn a little time.

ive been so bored lately, especially this week as my 1 month wow subscription has expired and i cant play it anymore until jet finds his missing testicles and buy me a subscription card(he owes me money). ive been asking him to get it since last wednesday afternoon(he went out every single day from wed-sunday and could have bought them any of the days or after school from monday-thursday) but apparently efficiency isnt his strongest point. if he still doesnt get it today as promised, i promise to run him through with a chainsword(from warhammer 40k dow/space marine games) and pay special attention to slice off his gentialia.

speaking of warhammer, i completed space marine in 5 hours. that was only because i died countless times due to stupid things like bugs and the lack of possible cover when 20 orks are shooting at me and i have to run slowly to them while taking insane damage doing so.

after playing space marine and being introduced to the ultramarines, i thought, 'hey there's a movie called ultramarines. lets check it out' and at the end of the show, all i could think of is wtf is this shit that i just watched?

i finally got around re-configuring my surround system for my pc cause i was extremely bored. i also managed to do some chores like clearing some shit from my shithole dumping ground study room. it still looks like a shithole dumping ground but at least my table is less cluttered and i can actually see the wood(was previously covered by shit like letters,brochures,books,mags,cables and so on).

i feel cheated by cmpb. they gave me a 6 month e9l9 pes but refuse to give me an enlistment date. i get the feeling my pes might be revised again before i enter, which is cheat moi feeling huan roh.. i wonder if i can complain against them for causing undue distress and false sense of happiness. i guess not, since its never wise to challenge the authoritae(jet found out the hard way, check out his story a few posts back).

help meeeee im so bored that im reading a book in front of my computer. that just isnt right. ITS NOT RIGHT I TELL YOU, NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

EDIT!! HI. just got a call from cmpb saying they sent my enlistment letter today and my enlistment date is 11 oktobar! i may miss oktobar fest festivities but i get the go in with a low pes at least ^^ i hope within these 3 weeks my pes doesnt get revised

blizzard cheat money huan T.T

2011-08-12T09:57:00.002+08:00

i finally jumped the gun yesterday and purchased retail wow. 100 bucks for the entire cata upgrade and im kinda feeling i wasted 100 bucks for nothing right now.

i like the new noob friendly features like huge quest arrows, return to graveyard buttons, instant max weapon skills and most of all the interactive quests. but the exp rate is so incredibad, i spent almost 3 hours game time and im only level 12.

it also seems to have alot of huge patches to apply all the time. the launcher claims that my wow is up to date last night and while in game, it started downloading a patch. when it claims its up to date again, this morning another 1.4gb patch appears.

off the wow problems, i watched horrible bosses and planet of the apes this week. all i can say is i dint like em much.

foiled again!

2011-07-28T12:37:00.004+08:00

Dell has managed to foil my plans for a new desktop yet again!

yesterday my gfx cards started artifacting and by the end of the night the computer was completely unbootable

top that up with overheating processors and ud think its a surefire way to ensure the spare part costs come up to more than a reasonably powerful desktop.

and its a fact since 1 gfx card = 701 dollars not inclusive of gst and the extra 144 required for engineer to fix it.(dell insists they get their oh so qualified engineers to fix it or else no warranty)

bearing in mind i have 2 gfx cards and the processor overheating issue, id think getting a new sandy bridge desktop at ard 3k+- would be a hell load better.

BUT NOOOOOOOOO... dell had to make me an offer my parents cant refuse.

853.86 bucks for 1 year extension of warranty with all parts and services covered which would include repairing of whatever problems im having now.

the only bad point is the parts will be refurbished and not brand new. thats why im not letting them replace my processor and just insist on trying to replace thermal pads and applying thermal paste first to see if it solves the problem. no point risking a good processor and getting a refurb which prolly cant even be oced 3% before dying or melting

good thing is i still have my m17xr1 to keep me entertained for today and possibly through the weekend before the tech comes to fix my r2.

im still so sore that im not getting a i7 2600k with dual gtx 580s T.T I WANT MY PHYSX

ps: this(warranty) means i can continue ocing like no tomorrow for another year!!! O.o

you're the worst thing that has ever happened to me

2011-07-25T19:09:00.003+08:00

first of all, you'd probably notice the change of music. be sure to change it to 480p to ensure full listening pleasure and audio orgasms. im unable to force it to play at 480p by default due to embeding size issues.

recently discovered(or rediscovered because it seems so familiar i think ive done it before) this online MBTI test.

the result i got was INTJ or Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Judging

also discovered a tumblr that has lots of interesting quotes on INTJs that i feel describe me so well its uncanny.

some quotes i find extremely true

intjs are easily frustrated but rarely become truly angry
this is one thing that people dont get when i tell them i dont anger easily. they dont seem to be able to differentiate being exasperated or annoyed from anger or resentment.

dont be offended if an intj argues with you, it means you've interested them. be offended if they go silent(click on link for full thing cos its long and im lazy to type it all out)

(one of my favs and im sure many would feel the same) im not anti-authority, most people in authority just arent competent.

see more quotes on the tumblr site above.

also found a site that provides a funny yet true complete idiot's guide to the intj. so rtfm if you dont know how to react to one

this is so spot on
We don’t do feelings.
We use critical thinking, reason, and logic. We have a tough time with people who make decisions based on emotions, and we can often come across as blunt and cold because we ignore the feelings of others.

ballish personalities aside, my processor is still constantly overheating!!!

i found out that i cannot disable turbo boost if i want to play strand of the ancients because with turbo boost off i get only 20-40 fps which is terribly retarded. however, with turbo boost on, more demanding games like ssf4 will make my processors peak at 98 degrees on all cores and start thermal throttling causing spikes and believe me its no fun when your about to perform an ultra combo and then suddenly theres a spike and your last 2 buttons pressed did not get registered.

i guess its time to reapply thermal paste(which i dread because ill have to open up the damned thing again) or just let it overheat and hopefully die soon so ill have a reason to get a desktop.

PS: I STILL CANT POST WITH IE9 WHEN WILL BLOGGER FIX THIS SHIT WTFFFFF FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

love is just an illusion we should try to forget

2011-07-13T14:14:00.009+08:00

the first portion of this post is jet intensive so if you dont give a shit about jet, dont know and dont want to know what or who is a jet, scroll down past the portion. however, if you do know who or what a jet is or would like to know what a jet is, i suggest you read it because it is truly entertaining. for me at least

so jet and i was having this conversation and it suddenly turned to him telling me he dint have english tuition despite his engrish being so farking poor.

some time ago(specifically in june) he told me he had an american english tutor.

so now he denies it. so click on the screen caps below and be entertained!!

it started like this

then he said this

so obviously

asked sean for dogtard group conv logs and any convo logs with jet in it from the last 3 months and...

he was speechless, dumbfounded and most importantly, pwned for about 5 mins and dint respond so..

Jet, respek mai athoritae and dont challenge mai memory.

just incase your thinking im gay persistently asking him to suck my dick, its his favourite phrase so im just using it against him. ive got proof too

in other news, i opened up my laptop on tuesday to have my heatsinks, fans and graphics cards cleaned out. some pics

pics not in order and i dint take any pics once i removed the magnesium cover(grey color panel protecting the graphics card) because everything was so damned messy i was irritated and would have prolly smashed my phone while attempting to take a picture.

the red cards are of course, the ati gfx cards and the blue cable connecting them is the xfire cable. should be red given that red is ati's color -.-.

i dint manage to break anything or shatter any parts but my mom did help me lose a screw cos i left the magnesium cover on top of somethings she wanted to take and it had screws on it so you get the idea.

i found the lost screw but no way in hell would i ever ever open it up again just to insert a screw. i almost broke 3 nails opening it up thanks to the stupid clip on style of the alien control board.

my graphics cards are now running cool but my processor seems to be needing serious thermal paste cos its overheating and throttling when i play wow for too long.

my solution instead is to turn off turbo boost and not overclock it too much and now its running at 2.1 ghz 8 threads and peaking at 67 degrees.

i am awesome

you are now impossibly alone

2011-07-02T23:15:00.004+08:00

watched quite a few movies recently, heres the list(not in order)

xmen first class
hangover 2
green lantern
your highness
transformers 3

xmen first class was an interesting reboot but had some lore discrepancies from what i remember from xmen comics and cartoons. afaik, xavier was paralysed due to his mutation and not in an accident(which was a bullet hitting his spine in the movie).

hangover 2 tried to hard to be fucked up and gross and lost the smart humour it had in hangover 1. but jamie chung is hot anyway so i guess that evens the scales.

green latern was overly emotional to me and as all hero flicks end, he suddenly had a burst of energy/power/skill that allowed him to defeat his enemy. blake lively dint look so bad in it either so lets overlook the sudden burst of energy part.

your highness is funny due to random use of vulgarities, random innuendos and the most memorable of all, a minotaur penis hung around the neck as a battle trophy. however, it was not filmed in digital(or so i think since there is no digital option) so its a waste since portman and deschanel would have looked better without film grain and film scratches

transformers 3 was a 150 min mess of non stop(mostly pointless) action with a terribly out of place actress. but at least this time it is quite clear who the good guys are and the bad guys are during combat and you can actually tell who is doing what most of the time. what i dint like about it was the lack of megan fox and the plot being terrible. i feel they should have stuck more closely to the original transformer lore and not make sentinel out as the bad guy by choice. iirc in war for cybertron game, sentinel got corrupted by megatron(using dark energon). something like that would have been more interesting than "i did what i did to ensure our kind survives" and then proceeding to kill a former ally which completely contradicts his statement.

im also still puzzled WHY there are ALWAYS so many decepticons and almost hardly any autobot reinforcements. also, WHY do autobots seem invincible in crossfires and combat but decepticons die in 1 hit/slash and the most popular way for autobots to die seem to be getting surprise buttsecked or out of combat death. also, whr have all the flying auto bots gone and why do they not have machines??

that aside, the major issue is still the lack of megan fox. rosie just doesnt farking cut it. there was this scene where the camera showed here in the foreground and in the background there were so many explosions and she was still pouting and looking at something without giving a fark about the explosions. it reminded me of this cool guys dont look at explosions except that now its called hot out of place girls dont give a shit about explosions.

oh and soundwave seems to be able to turn into so many different shits and seem so hard to take down when hes actually supposed to be some sort of tech/saboteur class.

funfact: rachet turned green.

oh and the 3d was better than all the other '3d' movies not shot in 3d but is still bullshit compared to avatar. i was expecting something of similar standards when i read that bay used cameron's 3d cameras and team and shot the entire thing in 3d but i still saw lots of 2d moments and they never did seem to capture a fullscreen 3d enabled scene of rosie huntington-whiteley!

movies aside, IM BORED!!!

ps: blogger is still not ie 9 friendly. wtffffffffff

blogger needs to fix its ie 9 issues

2011-06-07T22:36:00.010+08:00

i still cant bloody login/post using ie 9 wtfbbqasdasdasdsad!#!@#@!#@!#@!#$^(*&^%$#$%^&&^%####^&**(@@@(($$U*$^$(insert more random symbols here)

yes, i have changed my blog music and you might recognize it from big bang theory's opening theme. that isnt why i chose it though. decided not to loop it cos its really short and its gona cause headaches if listened to for extended periods.

i feel its quite an interesting song about our universe and its history crammed into some 1 min 50 seconds. i think the vid+pics are funny too. better than singing about the days of the week in our calender anyway.

so ive finally graduated from singpore polytechnic with a diploma in infocomm security management. 3 years ago, i couldnt wait for this to happen. now that its happened, i have no idea what to do next. but i do know i can now state that i have a diploma in job/misc application forms under highest education achieved rather than just o levels.(insert f yea picture)

some of you must be wondering why ive kept silent(blogging silence not verbal silence >.>) throughout the rally/election period when many other not so apathetic people are speaking out via blogs, fb posts, twitter and etc. one major reason is my lack of enthusiasm in getting a free cup of gold roast coffee from the isd should i get over zealous.

the second is because i consider myself rather apathetic. as i have mentioned before, to me as long as I am not actively doing something about it, i am apathetic. it doesnt matter if i know whats going on or disagree with whats going on. as long as im not doing anything im apathetic. also, being unable to vote, it doesnt make sense to go on ranting about shit when you cant do much about it does it?

seeing the pre/post election reactions of some of my peers on fb gives the impression that there is no hope.

the reason i say this is because many posts on twitter/fb by many individuals from generation y and z gives me the impression that the singaporean dream is to live in an UPGRADED HDB flat that costs more than half a million dollars with a 99 year lease, work for an employer till your 80 and have an extremely high nett worth due to all the money in your cpf.

(the above is deduced from the posts i see by friends and mutual friends.)

someone i know from WOW tells me he bought a HOUSE with 5k USD. 5k usd is about 6200 SGD. so a guy buys a HOUSE(landed property for 6200 sgd. what can 6200 sgd get you here? 2 months of rent in a hdb MAX. problem?
(ok so i cant confirm for a fact that the 5k house exists but he claims it is a house not an apartment. even if its 50k usd or 62k sgd, you still cant even buy a new car here in sg let alone a house)

yes land is rare in singapore so why bring in meeeeeeeeleeons of unnecessary people to take up more of this rare land space and aid in absurd rises in housing pricing.

the people thinking omfg YEAAAAA my hdb is worth 800k omfg probably dont know that when the lease period is over, its worth close to 0

and so what if your hdb is worth 800k. if you sell it and make a huge profit, its gona cost almost ALL of your profit or even more to upgrade/get a similar hdb. you mad?

as for cpf, i like my money where i can see, touch, feel, smell and lick it. not in some imaginary bank and the only way i can see it is by looking at numbers on the cpf website and the only time i can spend it is when im near death at 80 or already dead. no, it does not feel good to have a nett worth of 200,000 sgd if more than half of that sum is your cpf.
(imagine forbes featuring a guy with a nett worth of 2 million dollars but 1.8 million dollars is in cpf. surely you'll go chey... no use one wad instead of WOW SO RICH)

and i dont get how one thinks or even gets the idea what one has done, another cannot do the same or even better given that the job/feat is something that we should be expecting of the person in that particular position. its not like the person had done something amazing like secure an agreement with an Arabian prince to give us an unlimited supply of free crude oil for as long as his oil rigs operate.

i am in dire need of good games to play.. wow is getting stale and games that came out recently(like brink) are unable to keep my playing for more than 20 minutes straight.

i am also attempting to play the instruments i once played and needless to say i am having difficulty.

problem 1 with violin - pai seh to play cos volume cant rly be controlled and neighbours will hear then i pai seh >.<

problem 2 with violin - i have longer than preferred length nails which i intend to keep that way so i cant press/glide/tremolo

problem 1 with electone - FARKING FLOPPY DISKS ARENT WORKING

problem 2 with electone - SOME NOTES ON SONG SHEET ARE FADED SO I CANT SEE SHIT CAPTAIN

problem 3 with electone - cant really obtain new disks + new songs to play cos the new electones use usb thumbdrives(high tech worxzxzxzxzcxczxc) and the only way i can possibly obtain the disks and song sheets is from my previous teacher who hasnt gotten back to me in weeks(supposedly screamed and died of shock at the list of disks i need i gave her.

problem 3 with electone - im old -.- dont seem to be fast enough and my feet have gotten really stiff or something..

no idea what else to say.. so ill end this post righttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

this just came in today =D

happy overload

2011-03-22T18:12:00.008+08:00

today is happy overload day! why an overload of happy/happy overload? heres why:

wake up in the morning and remembers today is results day.

nervously powers up my lenovo in the toilet as i shit(yes its called multi tasking and time saving dont judge me sluts)

opens up windows live mail client and stares at the title of the email but not daring to look at the contents.

"Singapore Polytechnic 2010/2011 S2 Examination Results", it reads and i slowly shift my gaze over to the right side where the contents of the email are and see... a dist, an a and NO Cs OR Ds!

had a good feeling and looked down and saw.. my cumulative gpa is above 3!!!

that alone was enough to keep my happy for a day or two since ive never been glad and happy about my results since i got my o level results.

as i bathed my mom shouted "singtel guy is here ahhhh". he came about 3 hours early! to fix up my new router and 10mbps plan!

installation went without a hitch and im overjoyed that this new mio router(big black one) supports wireless N!

then as i sat down at my computer rerunning speedtest over and over beaming at the results, i see the date and it said 22nd march and it hit me.. today is.. is.. CRYSIS 2 LAUNCH DATE!

i wasted no time in testing my new download speed and...

its been a month since i last posted so ill try to compress happenings in the past 3 weeks into this post and still keep it interesting and detailed enough.

first week of march - took ceh exam, and PASSED IT! then watched 2 movies that week; unknown and i am lumber four. terrible shows. unknown was overly dramatic and whiny to me. i am number four is simply put, twilight in a more sci fi manner.

2nd week of march, i mainly rotted at home playing shit like WoW. went to the it show on friday and bought myself 2 dlink nas(es) and 4 3.5 inch 2 tb hard drives

parents signed up for some shit and got a free tablet.. ifagpad!

just joking.. its

went scuba gear hunting in the weekends cos my old fins no longer fit my awesome feet.
had dinner at ship restaurant and they were playing old pop songs by boy bands like westlife and backstreet boys which gave quite a nostalgic feel while dining.

funny how my taste in music changed over the years,

from something like this(might seem like overwhelming gayness to some, watch at own peril)

and this (might seem like overwhelming gayness to some, watch at own peril)

to this

then this(some screamo inside, not for those with thin ear drums)

and this

then this(some intense screaming included, ears might bleed)

and this

and this

and now mainly this

with occasional

anyway,failed to find any that week so the quest continued the following weekend but ill get to that later.

rotted at home the 3rd week as well till friday, attempted to sign up with some job agency but apparently they have contract'bonds' that i dint feel like being bonded to so ended up as a wasted trip.

went to more dive shops in weekends and finally gave up and settled for a not so fitting pair that would still do the job.

crazy girls in a bmw z4 roadsters going at 60kmph on lane one makes us all go

come on dears, your sitting on top of 265 horses with an acceleration rate of 0 to 100 in 6 seconds and a top speed of above 200. use a little bit more strength on your damned accelerator and check that you havent mistaken the brake for the left foot rest ffs or get out of lane one.

its finally official! my polytechnic education has come to an end. i had quite a good tertiary lifestyle experience but a terrible academic experience. simplified, sp isnt too bad its just too fucking far but dism sucks real hard.

with a few months to go before ns, i must come up with a list of to-do's so that i wont be idle and bored to death. maybe ill play alittle forex or actually open and check the condition of my violin or maybe even sleep all day! you cant be bored when ur asleep right?

fuck stupid assignments that are rarely applicable in real life and span past test weeks. yes, im looking at you smw..

went to orchard central yesterday. i must say i really dislike the design of the mall. they have 'sectors' based on category and navigating around is so troublesome. they also have escalators and elevators that skip certain levels. worse of all, they put escalators going to the 11th and 12th floor OUTSIDE the mall so that you can do some sightseeing of orchard road 10 storeys above ground level. the reason this is bad is because im afraid of heights so the entire 30 second ride from level 8(or something) to level 11 was so damned uncomfortable.

in short, its a combination of a messy vivo/nex design plus escalators that are longer than suntec's 4th to 6th floor escalator which already causes distress to me.

imagine taking an escalator outdoors 10 storeys above the ground with strong winds blolwing at you and paper thin transparent plastic standing between you and the massive free fall of your life should you somehow be dislodged from the escalator steps.

ended up whacking something due to rageeee

whacked a watch.. from tissot

comes in a box too small to fit all the manuals and books they put in it

notice that those are actually 'books'/ catalogs

open da box

gay manuals

also comes with a 'story book' of how tissot came to be and a full range catalog.

wanted to get the tissot t-touch watch seen on ads that can do everything but it costs around 2 thousand bucks so settled for this instead

its a watch, a professional stopwatch/timer, has a tachymeter and submersible up to 100m

unfortunately it does not have a backlight, runs on battery and has unadjustable rubber straps(cut to fit) so you cant give or lend it to another person unless he has a smaller hand and even so youll have to go to the shop and get them to irreversibly cut the strap to fit his hand and youll never be able to wear it again.

damage: about half da price of the t touch expert

its time to go down in flames and im taking you with me

school this term can be described in one simple word. FUCKED

3 modules with 10 hours worth of each module per week and 6 weeks in total to complete learning with tests and 6 assignments in between.

i also happen to need more than 8 gb of ram this sem. with 3-4 vms required to be concurrently, i often find myself with less than 800mb of free ram

out of 3 modules, i only find 1 tolerable simply because its all about tweaking and setting up windows oses.

and this is what my vm looks like

last post for 2010

2010-12-31T23:39:00.002+08:00

went to jerry's @ jalan kayu for dinner just now. thought i saw my sec 3 & 4 physics teacher. food wasnt terrible but it wasnt great either. the main dishes were great but the sides were terrible.

my internship ended two weeks ago and though Im loving the not waking up at 7am everyday, Id still prefer going there than back to school where Ill need to wake up at slightly past 5 am for 8am lessons.

alot has happened since my previous post and needless to say, im now much more concerned over my mortality that i was before(not that i wasnt already concerned over it).

watched tron legacy last friday in 3d. wasnt exactly as amazing as i expected it to be. the trailers seemed to suggest lots of flashy breath taking 3d combat scenes with power discs flying all around but dint happen.

it also dint provide a good closure for fans or those who actually knew what happened in the first movie. it was even worse for those who had no idea what the movie was about to begin with and could not grasp the concept of the movie.

introductions to flynn's world(the grid) were brief and undetailed.

im sure when i told sean quorra was an iso he was thinking:

"iso?? wtf? as in a disc image like this?"

the ending was also quite retarded because the iso came out of the grid.. not as this,

but as a woman in the real world

so im guessing she can put her finger into usb ports and transfer data that way.

not a bad idea if you have her in your room and need to hide her from you mom. just download her into a thumbdrive. now thats redefining 'cyber sex'

keith is now an all new retard.

the following are some sentences that he said last friday(not in sequence)

"the green latern is green, hes a green man"
"darth vader is weaker than anakin skywalker"

he also said something about the all new insurance plan that he bought. its so philosophical that i made a philosoraptor poster for it/him

everybody wants to change the world, but no one wants to die

2010-12-01T20:30:00.007+08:00

played with a ram software today called ramdisk.

it allows you to use a specified portion of your ram like a hard drive/thumbdrive

as you probably know, ram is lightning fast. proven by these benchmarks

my 1333mhz ram gives an avg of 5gb/s read rates on hdtune pro and my lenovo's 1066 ram gives an avg of 4gb/s read speeds. i tried putting cs 1.6 into the drive and running it and maps load instantly. wc3 also runs extremely quickly(starting up and map loading) all i can say about it is, farking awesome! now i know what to do if i ever come across a system with 16gb of ram

and those who say youll never use more than 4gb of ram, now you know how you can use more than 4gb ram

hopefully, im going to obtain 2x4gb rams by this weekend so i can convert like 3 gb into a drive and run some games off it.

a rather distant relative just passed away and it makes me wonder how long more till someone close goes and how long more till its me in that casket(or a similar looking one, not that id find out anyway)

how i wish the better quarter of my life isnt spent on stupid mandatory education and preparations for the 'real world'.

that aside, my parents just bought some serious dslr at sitex. cannon eos 7d with some 15-85is usm lense kit and a some other lenses like zoom lense etc and also accessories like battery grip tripod blah blah blah.

they refuse to acknowledge that i am totally uninterested in digital photography and insist i go for the complimentary photography lessons + how to use your gay camera workshop by cannon and then teach them how to use it. thats so fucked up.

you buy something you want and send your kid off to 'school' so that he can teach you how to use your toy. how bout reading the fucking manual and wikipedia?

mom just walked in nagging about the daily bread that ive dropped on the floor blah blahblah and killed my mood. piss out

our hate will break the boundaries of our fears

2010-11-14T22:49:00.003+08:00

tomorrow marks the start of the last 4 weeks of internship i have left.

after 8 weeks of being an intern, i cant say being in the working world is easy, but it sure as hell is more interesting than school. truth be told, id rather spend the remaining 7-8 weeks of the semester being an intern than going back to school to get piled with work, nagged at and mentally raped due to information overloads thanks to the compressed teaching thats in store for us.

ive been granted permission to game during lunch hours so i wont be lagging too far behind with new game releases. in fact, the reason i was able to complete Star Wars, the force unleashed 2 and call of duty black ops was due to the (at least) 20 minutes each day during my lunch break spent on each game.

its funny how i havent really touched medal of honour tier 1, which ive had for like a month now and that ive compeleted black ops which ive only had for less than a week.

for me, call of duty black ops was both irritating and fun. similar to World at War(cod 5), all the enemies and your allies seem to look the same and EVERYTHING(and i do fucking mean everything) BLOWS UP IN YOUR FACE. this is extremely irritating because i often get confused as to who to shoot since everyone looks the same and end up shooting friendlies. also, with everything exploding, the entire place keeps vibrating and shaking which is so damn headache inducing. the enemies also seemed to have had some prior elite sniper training because sometimes, i would be killed in 1 shot(which i am presuming was not due to a bug but a bullet to the head)

black ops also has some interesting stuff included like the dead ops arcade mode and presidential zombie mode aside from the nazi zombie mode which was already present in cod 5. the dead ops arcade is like the arcade game, shock troopers but instead of killing humans, you kill zombies. presidential zombie mode is where you play as jfk(or some others like nixon in multiplayer mode i think) and fend off zombies in the white house.

ok so lets compare moh and blak ops.

first and foremost, black ops has....

krossphire support(note icon on top right corner)....

and lets me get an avg of 80 fps throughout the entire game!

while moh initially did not have krossphire support until the late 10.10 catalyst driver update

and it only gives me an avg of 60 fps.

ive got load more to say but my brain is dead and i cant seem to remember what i wanted to type so i guess ill leave it for another time.

you build up hope but failure is all you've known

2010-10-10T22:31:00.002+08:00

weekdays are getting more eventful now that there are actually increasing number of clients sending in laptops to be encrypted everyday. its not as eventful as id like it to be but hey, 1 or 2 hours less of wall staring is better than none at all.

went down to an AIA branch last tuesday at keppel towers for a whole day of encrypting madness. the success rate was about 50-75%.

now that i am unable to game on weekdays, i feel that games are being released faster than they should be. i actually have games that ive obtained and not even played yet.

darksiders is one bitchy game. its a hack and slash game with puzzles. sort of like tomb raider with a hell more hack and slash action. the thing is, i absolutely love hack and slash games but i totally abhor puzzle based games. and darksiders is a bitch with both elements in it. it does an excellent job at keeping me frustrated and addicted at the same time. everytime when im doing a puzzle, i get so bored that i tell myself once this is done(and i get to a checkpoint) ill quit this retarded game. however, everytime when im bored and pissed to the extent that i would love to press the quit button, id manage to get through the puzzle and loads of monsters would appear to give me a truly amazing hack and slash moment which would make me want to continue the game and sever more limbs

the storyline is also rather interesting. its not exactly deep and entrancing but its quite a new and refreshing story line to me(or maybe i havent played a game that has a similar storyline before).

it starts with a little history lesson of the world, where in the beginning, heaven and hell were created and were constantly at war with each other. a neutral party called the council was tasked with ensuring balance between the two warring factions. the council's army consisted of the brotherhood of riders which were imbalanced in terms of strength and power so they could literally wipe hell and heaven of all inhabitants if they wished.

soon after, humans were created. the legend was that once all(the 7) seals(no idea where they were or how to break them) are broken, all factions would have a free for all. apparently some faggot(it is believed that the destroyer,leader of hell, did it) started the free for all even though all seals were not broken. WAR, the rider of the red horse was some how summoned and caught in this crossfire and framed for helping the destroyer. he asked to be sent back to earth to find out who did it and to rape that person in the butt with no lube.

tomorrow is the start of my 4th week as an intern and i do hope that the rusty overheated(literally, there are burn marks on it) client laptop which ive left powered on for decryption over the weekend has not exploded or melted because then i would not have a table to use

do you feel cold and lost in desperation

2010-09-29T20:46:00.003+08:00

so I got my NS pre enlistment letter which was apparently designed to scare the shit out of any self respecting male singaporean above 18 years of age .

It states that I should log into NS portal and complete my pre enlistment documentation which consists of entering my full name and education level followed by something like my family tree details. this is probably to check if you are some how related to the lovely immortal dynasty. After about 30-45 mins(or so it states) of doing the above, im supposed to book a medical checkup date to have my balls jingled(not literally). It consists of a medical assessment, blood sample collection and some other stuff like a computerized iq test.

now this last bit has gotten me all so excited simply because id love to see how the saf's iq test compares to those from mensa and highiqsociety.

now the part about it being computerized is what makes me peeved. imagine the following occuring:

*gets into a chair and looks at the screen and presses START TEST button*

*gets questions like what is 1+3*

*gets the feeling similar to the picture below because it appears to be easy*

and then....

then youll be going

(sean is going to start flaming me for relatively inappropriate use of this meme)

and then it'll be this

then youll be like

which will affect your entire test even if you retake it because you lose up to 40% of your iq level when you are angry, depending on your rage level.

at this point you would probably be angry enough to swallow a cpu chip whole so im guessing your iq takes the full 40% dive to around 60-70 points.

when you get to your new computer(still fuming of course) these questions will appear

of course you might still get them right but bear in mind your iq level has suffered a 40% drop which together with panic and annoyance, could give you shitty results!

so youll end up like

no matter what your iq may seem to be to the saf, youll still get lots of shit... so..........

i wont stop until the bleeding has run out

2010-09-25T17:17:00.004+08:00

it seems I might be staring at the wall for the next 11 weeks for my internship after all. from what I heard, one project has ended, and no news of a new one coming up. My guess is the 2nd project would end(with me not having a part in it at all) in 2 weeks and there probably wouldnt be a new one.

being all so bored and jaded, I wonder if can do benching in the office. Afterall, it isnt gaming.

The office does meet my general requirements for proper benching:
power-------------------------------------------check
space-------------------------------------------check
ppl who dont give a shit------------------------check
air conditioning/cool ambient temperature----check
endless hours to burn---------------------------check

im concerned about the noise produced by the fans though. it will be really irritating for the person beside me and probably everyone else near me. that would probably get me into trouble.

I realised that I am very adept at killing mosquitoes in my sleep. This could probably mean that when asleep, i have the agility of kung fu panda or that mosquitoes that land on me are either overly attracted to my sweet blood or fried by the static electricity on me. The reason for these theories is that I constantly find squashed mosquitoes with blood smeared over my legs or arms when I wake up in the morning, which only suggests that I killed them in my sleep unless there's this amazing super hero in my bedroom that flies around squashing and slapping mosquitoes for me at night. If thats the case, I do hope its a SHE and SHE's a hot girl.

played chauffeur last night chauffeuring the retards; sean jon keith and jing from pasir ris mrt to bark cafe for jing's birthday treat and then to ehub for the movie devil.

Apparently sean finds that going at 50kmph on the streets is really fast. he would probably become one of those people who travel at 60kmph in lane 1 on highways. we do not respawn but thats no reason to go so slowly. if there is need to go so slowly to ensure safety, take a public transport.

The movie devil was terrible to me but appealed to the rest. i dislike movies that revolve around a simple location with lame brief flashbacks of the character's past.

Devil is simply about 5 people who have committed sins/did wrong things being trapped in an elevator together and one of them is the devil himself. everytime the lights flicker, someone would get injured or brutally killed. i dislike movies which kill characters off in the dark, not showing the process of how they died. it leaves you thinking wtf thats impossible. but i guess this is a paranormal movie after all and the word impossible should not come to your mind. the suspense failed to capture my attention and i felt the ending was terrible due to overdone dramatic scenes.

I cant believe how tiring rotting and staring into blank space can make you. I feel more tired being unable to do anything than actually doing something like going to school.

I spent thursday and friday doing my own learning on string theory, quantum mechanics, dark energy, dark matter, novae, supernovae and white dwarf stars.

i also cannot believe the number of games released during the course of my first week at work. im now having problems catching up. 2 tv shows that im following are also airing again so i guess that i now have something to look forward to at least.

you say there's not enough love, but there's no one to give it to

2010-09-21T21:49:00.003+08:00

my internship at infosec pacific pte ltd started on monday.

on the first day, i dint bring my laptop since my liason officer said that the company would provide us with laptops etc. apparently he was wrong and i paid for it dearly. i was so bored I finally understood what the phrase bored to death meant since i felt bored to the extent that time stood still and my heart had stopped.

needless to say, at that moment i wished that i had downloaded more games/fun apps into my phone. i spent the day smsing people screaming for help and surfing the web with my phone. i have NEVER depleted a full battery charge in less than 2 days before but i guess there's a first time for everything. by 5.30pm, my phone battery was at critical levels so i had to stop surfing and resort to smsing for help again.

today wasnt as boring since i got to meet 1 of my supervisors and i had the opportunity to learn how to connect to a astaro security gateway using putty. other than that, it was boring as hell, as usual.

oh and i broke another personal record. i used to mock people who forgot their laptop batteries/adapters. today I FORGOT TO BRING MY LAPTOP ADAPTER. at first i panicked because that meant that i would only have 3-4 hours of anti boredom time. den jun hao saved me by lending me his fujitsu laptop adapter which surprisingly is of the same power rating and socket design.

its rather hard to follow the policy that schools teach about asking for more work. it makes you look eager to suck balls to your colleagues. its also especially hard to follow when its quite obvious there is really NOTHING to do. its like being oliver twist asking for more gruel only that england is currently suffering a famine and THERE IS NO FOOD ANYWHERE WITHIN 999999999999 KLICKS. put simply, its like demanding for ice cream from the ice cream man when his entire truck is empty and void of any products. On monday, i was even glad to make coffee for anyone if anyone asked, literally.

which makes me ponder about sentences said to interns and their hidden meanings(JOKE ONLY DONT SO SRS KAY):

sit here and read these manuals so that youll have a brief idea of what we are doing - translation: sit here and nua(rot your ass off) until i find something bettar for you to do

read the documentation and figure out how to do *this this this* and tell me when your done -translation: actuallyz, i ish orhsho dunno how to do LOL! read diz book and try to see if chiu cans find out how to do. if cannotch, den i come and see if i can!

learn as much as you can - translation: sit there stfu and see wad i do and figure out wads going on. bug me ONLY if necessary kthxbye

here, take this and try it out yourself - translation: (when after a demonstration)i feel that your a retard and you are unable to learn by looking at a detailed demostration. (if no demonstration) i doubt your ability to read/follow instructions given. prove to me that your iq is not under -9000

the above statements are all meant to be jokes and are purely attempts to tickle your funnybone(if you lack one, break a random in your body bone and i bet itll be funny). if you take them seriously, you are a joke.

since gaming is presumably banned, it hardly makes a difference whether i have a laptop or not. all i can do is scroll up and down facebook like a retard and scour the net for interesting news/articles.

one good thing about being an intern in this company is that my dad can drive me to and from the office everyday unless he has something on since his office is close by. this makes me tempted to bring my alienware to the office instead of my puny lenovo considering my dislike for tiny screens and lack of raw processing power.

hyperthreading is a massive lie. i spent 2 hours compressing 12gb of vm images and i have never seen the hyper threads being utilized more than 20%.

linkin park's new album sucks so hard that it rivals the suction power of a black hole.

off to bed now to dream about how internshit would be a hell load nicer if there were a dozen hot girls all over the place. no, i do not drool in my sleep.

i dont need a vision to embrace

2010-09-06T19:45:00.003+08:00

i never thought it was possible to have a total sale of 0 on any day in an it show/fair. but apparently i managed to achieve this amazing feat on friday. even with an extremely sparse crowd and fucked up booth location, it seemed like everyone except me and sean managed to sell at least 1 mac that day. but of course, being me, i would say it was simply because of the crowd quality and those pesky insurance agents swarming close to our booth scaring everyone away.

saw a couple of familiar faces during my 4 days at comex and one particular person who seemed to be oblivious to basic social and friendship etiquette of purchasing what you want from a friend who is working to help boost that person's sale and in return get an amazing price for your product. when asked, he said buy from you for what. this made me go.................... the entire night. if it occured on any other day , i would have shrugged it off. but it so coincidentally happened on the day i achieved my amazing 0 sales for the day and made the day even more depressing knowing that i have such a friend. if you had no idea i was selling what you wanted to purchase, its fine. but you should not have replied the way you did especially when i told you i had 0 sales for the day. i know you were probably teasing or playing with me but you hit me when i was rather down and that left a deep impact and the rage i feel will probably never falter.

that shit aside, i felt rather young for once among the other part timers since jon, sean and i were the ONLY 3 part timers in the booth of about 10-12 people who are below 20.

the food was actually rather good and the supervisors were friendly. i would return to this job if only i had more confidence that macs would sell well. the booth averaged about 40 sales in total per day, which is extremely low considering the amount of people visiting the fair. oh and the fact that there are not hawt girls takes of a few more points as well

i woke up today feeling like a 80 year old with rheumatism as my entire body was aching. the only thing that felt quite alive was my brain since i dint exactly have to use much of it standing around staring into blank space when there are no customers.

my last customer on sunday had a kid who apparently has a high iq level(no as in seriously) (ive read that kids who are extremely curious are blessed with high iq levels) and he only served to increase my dislike or should i say deep hatred for kids.

so qn 17 is Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why.

its probably hugh hefner or one of his sons. why? the question is WHY NOT? if you have no idea who hugh hefner is, google it and youll probably know why

18 asks Plans/dreams/goals you have

to put it simply, none.

an apple a day... keeps your bank account empty

2010-09-01T21:58:00.003+08:00

hello, i will be selling imacs at the comex fair. unbelieveable i know, given how much i 'adore' apple products and the amount of effort it would take for me to use one. oh well, lets just hope there are many many many many crazy apple fans who dont share my view so that i can receive a fat check

so i have 2 questions on my tag board. adding music must have done the trick

kenizaton: whats one of your biggest regrets in life so far? lol..

Jon: Hi,so I haz a question for u. And it be "whats the size of your penis"

one of the biggest regrets in my life is, regrettably, choosing my current diploma course.

its rather self explanatory if you are a frequent reader but ill just summarize everything.

the course is not what i expected and i feel the system is rather flawed. just think about an entire batch of it students(about 40) with more than half not knowing what cloud computing is, how to diagnose a bsod, no idea the proper procedure of actually reinstalling an os(installing drivers etc) and best of all, not knowing how individual hardware components look like and how they work.

its probably just me but i would feel extremely incompetent if i graduated from an it course with 4.0gpa but have no idea how to build a pc part by part and then set it up.

the size of my dongle.. take it this way, if it were fired as a ballistic missle, it will sink multiple aircraft carriers in a single shot

ill just make a dig at qn 15 which says Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play.

im sorry, i dont own an ipod. okay actually i have 2 ipods but i refuse to use them. so there..

those lips sink ships

2010-08-26T15:06:00.005+08:00

i am extremely annoyed by people regarding everyone else as shallow,ignorant or retarded just because they disagree with the particular person's view. as a rather eccentric person with deviant views in almost every major aspect in life, I RESPECT different views and opinions in every matter if it is logically sound and not mere bullshit or jiao wei if you will. but i cannot stand it when really shallow people think their opinions/views(especially if illogical and has no basis for argument) are RIGHT and people who think otherwise are SHALLOW and STUPID and cannot SEE DEEPER. this is not particularly directed at anyone but im sure you know who you are seeing that i have said this to you before.

i dont give a shit if you have a different opinion or a different view on certain issues. in fact i respect that. it shows you are a being capable of intelligent thoughts. that is, of course, until you try to force YOUR OPINIONS/VIEWS on others. if you are mature enough to understand why you have your own views you should also be mature enough to understand why others have their own views.

with that being said i obviously do not mean i respect people who have views like 'having eyes are stupid! because if you cant see, you cant judge books by their covers! so lets dig out everyone's eyes!'

today ill answer another 3-4 questions(refer to this post ) if u have no idea what im talking about

q 7 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you.

i would consider that something as life. so how do i get a picture of life? that isnt exactly possible to me so NO PICTURE!

life has the biggest impact on me simply because of my Thanatophobia(fear of death). the way i see it, we are all dying.its just depends on how long more we have. 20 years? 70 years? we are dying the moment we were born or even the moment when we were conceived.

q 8 - Short term goals for this month and why

none really.. unless you count actually doing well for the 3 tests i have coming up in the next 2 weeks. alright actually i told myself i have to open up my alienware to vacuum out the dust stuck on between the vents and on the fans this week. but i havent achieved that yet =x

q 9 -Something you’re proud of in the past few days.

this might and will sound gay but.. i cut my nails! ive managed to keep my nails(most, not all) to a whole full 1.5 cm(from my fingertips) before cutting them off on sunday. i was able to keep them so long thanks to the yog break and my sprained ankle, allowing me to do less stuff which would other wise cause my nails to be chipped or something. i felt like id never want to cut them off. but i did psycho myself to do it anyway so im proud!
/gaymodeoff

q 10 - Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

everything that is my wmp playlist really. i dont have special song sets for different moods simply because songs dont affect me emotionally. i can be listening to dragonforce,alesana or a skylit drive when im happy, bored,sad or pissed. but when im having a headache i listen to the album 'scottish tranquillity' by phil coulter. did i also mention i used to be able to play most of the songs in that album? =)

thats all the qns for this post and i still havent seen any activity on my tagboard which makes me wonder if the visitors the google counter detected are actually web bots or some shit. i am so depressed.

see the sun, see the stars, all of these could be ours

2010-08-23T15:17:00.002+08:00

my fucking lenovo y460 has a defective pixel. or rather, it NOW has a defective bright dot pixel. one pixel on the right side of the crappy led backlit screen is like the sun, shining bright and white no matter what all day and all night. even when its supposed be black. alright, actually it just stays white when the laptop is powered on.

called lenovo tech support and im supposed to be getting a call from their engineers today. as lenovo does not have on site repair for their ideapad series, ill have to send it in and it might take a few days or weeks, which i cannot afford. unless its going to be done by this week. i cannot imagine bringing my alienware for internship.

EDIT: just got a call from engineer, says 1 pixel defect does not qualify for replacement.. im going to call service centre and start email carpet bombs soon

EDIT 2: called service centre, asked me to bring it down for diagnostics. guess ill get my dad to do it.

so i said i would pick out some questions from the 30 day challenge list and answer them. here they are, qns 1, 2 ,4 and 6 im skipping those in between because they demand pictures which i am too lazy to find and upload. if you really need to see those pictures because you have a dying need to convince or prove yourself wrong that i do indeed actually have friends, log into facebook and find the photos yourself. of course, if you arent my friend on facebook, you probably wont need to know if i have friends or not anyway.

number 1/Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

*insert picture from fazebouqe here*

15 interesting facts:

1) despite my height, i actually feel short. i am constantly reminded and peeved by this especially when i see someone who is like 1 head taller than me

2) I dont really have a favourite color. really..

3) I actually like wearing formal clothes(when air conditioning is available otherwise it will be farking hot) as they make me feel important and I like people calling me sir which happens more often when I am wearing formal clothes.

4) although Im not usually the one who says hi and introduces myself when in a room full of strangers, i actually like social interactions unless speaking with mindless people who can only reply every question with a single word like "ok", "anything" or conversation killers who simply live to slay friendly conversations with phrases like 'anyting lor' ,'you do lor'
and 'dunno lor you ask lor'

5) I FEAR DEATH. self explanatory really. i just cant imagine or fanthom the issue. i am so terrified by it that if i had a definite date of my death, i would probably end up spending the remaining days shivering and wondering how it would be like. unlike others who would probably be trying to live to their fullest. or at least maybe thats what they think they'll do

6) i really love consuming pork knuckles. i would probably have at least 1 meal a day with a pork knuckle included if it werent so expensive, hard to find and unhealthy.

7) unlike most other guys,i dont exactly have a 'dream car' in mind and id rather drive a huge sedan than a coupe.

8) i really have 0 ambition for now(interesting rite ^.^)

9) I love reading about technology and hi tech gadgets but this does not include DSLRS for some reason.

10) i am never content with leaving my processors at default clocks even if ocing them by a little will not give visible boosts

11) I cant see shit captain.. without my glasses

12) I really like arcade style fighting games like street fighter 4. which is why ive clocked over 80 hours (spread over many months of course -.-) on that game

13) My philosophy is that everyone can be bought(in the sense that they do what you want). or rather everyone has a price, it just depends on how much. I guess this might sound ridiculous to many at first and they will instantly claim NO WAY I CANT BE BOUGHT. but think about it again. *just an example dont quote me on this* if i offered you 10 bucks to kiss the floor or my feet you might not do it because 10 dollars to kiss my feet is too little for you to lose your pride and ego. but if i say that ill give you 3 billion USD and its NOT A SCAM to kiss my feet. im really sure almost everyone would do it. (again this is just an example and my opinion) unless you are bill gates or already have more money than you can spend, a normal person would probably throw their pride aside and do it even if its infront of many people. most people would also not view you as a person with no pride, but they would probably be thinking. wtf.. lucky guy/girl, i wished that was me.

14) I consider myself to be rather politically apathetic. indeed i am less apathetic than most youths my age, considering that i am updated and aware of policies, statements made and have the urge to want a change, i do nothing to change it which is why i consider myself rather apathetic to politics.

15) i REALLY REALLY hate crowded and noisy places. which is why id rather stay at home than go out. but of course travel time also plays a part in my wish to stay home.

now question 2 asks the meaning behind my tumblr's name but since this is a .blogspot domain, ill change the question to the meaning behind my blog url.

no real meaning actually. i wanted my blog url to be relatively long but yet easily memorable. hence omfgwtfimbalness. long and simple

question 4 asks of a habit i wish i dint have.

i guess it would be keeping long nails. its been a habit since ive been young and i typically keep my fingernails till they are about 1 cm from my finger tips before deciding to cut them off. i wish i dint have it because keeping long nails clean and preventing them from being chipped or damaged in any way is rather annoying. once i flipped my nail cos i had it stuck between the keys of my keyboard while playing dota -_-

question 6 asks of my favourite superhero and why.

thats easily superman by DC comics. the most important reason is that he lives forever, which id really love to be able to. after that comes the ability to fly and then super speed. shooting lasers from his eyes and having super strength doesnt excite me but they would also be okay to have i guess. *fantasy bit* if i were to have his powers, id be extremely concerned about getting owned by kryptonite, not that it would be available here in singapore anyway =O

that ends the 30 question challenge for this post.

30 gays.. i mean days challenge

2010-08-23T15:05:00.002+08:00

i see that many of my friends have been posting day 1/2/3/4... updates on fb and their blogs but ive never known what the questions were and where they came from. finally i found the questions on michael's blog and according to him he found it on his friend's tumblr.

here they are

Day 01- A recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself.

Day 28- A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?

Day 29- In this past month, what have you learned?

Day 30- Who are you?

i think some questions are rather interesting and though the 30 day thing doesnt make me feel like adhering to posting 1 post per day answering those questions, i would select some questions to answer, either a few per post or spread over time whenever i feel like it. after all, i think i post rather frequently with some exceptions where posts are about 20 days apart. if there are any interesting questions youd like answered you can ask them in my tagboard(i do NOT use formspring). my tagboard badly needs to be populated. despite the google visitor counter stating that there are infact more than a handful of regular readers, my tagboard always seem to be empty. are there no comments to be said ever?

ill start in the follow post so that this post doesnt get all cluttered and lengthy

all the best lies are told with fingers tied

2010-08-20T21:17:00.007+08:00

today marks the end of my final year project "network security with Dlink devices phase II". truth be told, NOTHING about our project has anything to do with the title except that it does contain dlink devices. we never got around to changing/thinking of a cooler title.

i hope we all do well for this project considering the amount of effort and time put into it. in fact, i should get an A just because i actually put effort and time into it. i can say i spent more time on this project than i spent revising for all my o lvl subjects put together.

so with the handing up of the final report + uploading of our rubbish to the school servers, the project is OVER! i celebrated by waking up at about 10am due to inability to sleep and then having lunch at 4.30pm and having dinner at golden seafood paradise(or smth like tat) at changi golf club. how did you spend your day =D?

and with half of year 3 gone, the feel of a need to think about future prospects keeps nagging at me. the rest of this post will probably be emotionally driven and call it a rant or whiny post if you will, as no one is begging you to read on if you do not want to.

i like to believe we should all have something to look forward to in the future. for some people who were born before the 21st century, it was a life long wish to live to see a whole new millennium, anticipating the breakthroughs and advancements in human technology and standards of living. i also know a few people who have their lives roughly carved out, migrating, having more kids than the amount of sperm they produce everyday and even a rather predefined career path.

well i feel i have nothing to look forward to and no future plans, distant or immediate. i have no idea what id like to be and i cant even picture myself in five years or even one year's time. truth be told im a little afraid of the future. most likely due to the fact that my future prospects arent exactly very bright. its almost cast in stone that i will never make it to either of the 2 non private local universities and the remaining universities mostly concentrate on business, which i have no interest at the moment and probably will not have interest in in the days to come.

in fact, i can hardly name 10 things that interest me. i feel like an emotionally and intellectually jaded old faggot. yes, nothing really amuses or interests me, save a few things like technology. i see how people get excited or become genuinely happy when they experience new things, going places or doing things they have never done. im not sure if its because of the fact that my parents have exposed me to many many many MANY things that normal kids wont since i was very young, but its been a very very long time since ive had that feeling. almost everywhere i go and see, its like been there, done that.. theres hardly anything exciting. or maybe im just a boring person.

either way, i feel i have no purpose in life. because i have nothing to look forward to, all i can think of, or rather all i am forced to think of is death. the dreadful feeling that one day, i will draw my last breath. global statistics of someone dying every 3 seconds due to poverty or that everytime you draw a breath, someone else draws his/her last do not help.

every night i go to sleep and wake more exhusted than i already was the night before thanks to my amazing insomnia and inability to block out dreams and stopping them from becoming lucid ones.

despite a lack of purpose in life, i have tried to imagine and dream out(yes literally in a lucid dream) different occupations i might possibly enjoy or not hate. i seem to get the feeling i need a job that allows me to interact with people all the time, but at my own pace and not have people bothering me when i dont need any interaction. and as funny,weird and retarded as it sounds, being a teacher seems to stand out as the best option. its one where i get to talk and know many different people every day. drawbacks would be the time the job starts and ends. usually primary and secondary school teachers reach school at about 7am and leave around 5pm. thats bloody long. tertiary lecturers seem to have more flexible timings but they seem to always need to be in school despite students having their school holidays. a minor flaw in this analogy is that i hate kids so i shouldnt even be thinking about being a primary school teacher.

either way, i still cant picture myself in the near future and i think until i feel a purpose in life, i will never be able to.

emotional porn aside, linkin park has officially lost me as a fan thanks to their latest single release ' the catalyst ' from their new album a thousand suns. i say theyve lost me as a fan because this will be the first of many albums that i will no longer buy. yes, i do actually purchase albums from bands i support. a skylit drive has also lost me as a fan but ive never bought their albums before so i guess it wouldnt matter =(

im also probably going to retire from benchmarking since the weather here in singapore is extremely unpleasant for benchmarking if you arent in a freezing air conditioned room which is exactly my situation. the irritating process of flashing bioses and video bioses is also starting to make me ask myself why do i even do this to myself so i guess its time to stop. ive actually stayed up late cos its cooler at night just to bench. imagine having a calculator in hand and calculating your processor speed if your front side bus is 1320 and your clock multiplier is 10.5, or wondering if 1.15 volts is enough for your graphics cards to squeeze out as much performance as possible and still meeting the optimal thermal design power(tdp) at 1 am in the morning.... fucking nerdie.. thankfully, ive only stayed up once to bench but amazingly all my record breaking scores were achieved during hot afternoons at 2-3pm when the weather was fucking hot at around 32 degeres and ambient temperature was around 30-31 degrees.

avatar is going to be re-released with extra scenes which includes a na'vi foreplay scene which is essentially alien seckzplay in action. i wonder if mda will censor it off. if so, then singaporeans will probably not watch the rerelease at all since censoring the extra scenes will mean watching the same film over again.

why plan for tomorrow when you dont even know if you'll live through today

2010-08-15T22:05:00.003+08:00

so I did my final year presentation on 12th august. stuttered a little and even had a major blank out for 2 seconds cos i was rather woosy with all the meds im taking. even so, i think we did alright. i also made sure a lecturer knew i was sick so it prolly could get me some sympathy marks or at least make him close an eye over my little 2 second pause. i really should have faked a cough or sneeze though.

after that i went over the sgh's AnE(accident and emergency) section to have my foot checked out. i must say, despite the 1 hour(or maybe a little less) wait, the experience was rather pleasant with uber friendly staff and several visually appealing nurses. Maybe thats why health care in sg gets such high ratings. most visitors from other countries usually only get into the AnE section and not other clinics in the hospital.

while the other clinics in the hospitals(for revisits/appointments) are heavily packed, noisy, unpleasant and filled with even more unpleasant staff, the AnE section is not so packed(duh.. who goes to ane for nothing right?), quiet and filled with pleasant friendly and helpful staff(i would also go on to say almost ALL yes i mean ALL the staff ive seen in the AnE section are locals, if not pinoy and there are no CHINESE NATIONALS at all during my visit(which is prolly why it was rather pleasant =p )). all the staff speak excellent or at least GOOD english and couldnt stop calling me sir(maybe cos i was wearing formal =o). the doctor was also especially friendly, asking me HOW MANY DAYS MC DO YOU WANT when he thought i had school and even offered 2 weeks to begin with.

no, i dint manage to fracture or dislocate my foot/ankle thanks to my super duper strong ankle muscles(literally or so the doc says) cos of my flat foot walking abnormalities + short ankle muscles which are heavily stretched and exercised with every step i take. so i had a bad sprain which is lucky, considering i fell at least 2 feet and with me being not so feather-light,though it would be fun to be wheelchair bound for about 3 months just to see how its like. though its just a sprain, its a major sprain hence the initial 2 week mc the doctor wanted to give. i just took it anyway, i never had a 2 week mc before. would be cool to frame up just in case i meet someone who brags about how much mcs hes got since hes been born.

so what do i think of the yogs. "why the fuck do i even want to think about what i think of the yogs" is what i think of the yogs.

i really cannot understand the hype. i can understand our gov's need to impress other nations but i really feel its rather over done. according to the temasek review blog, there are ALOT of major news papers throughout asia and europe who dint even TALK or GIVE A SHIT about the yog opening ceremony. which goes to say how insignificant this is.

so while waiting for september to come so that the major tv shows(chuck,smallville etc..) that ive been hooked on start their new season, ive decided to give 2 sci fi tv shows a try. fringe and V. ive only watched the first episode of fringe and i cant say i like it but i kinda like V though its sometimes filled with rubbish drama. or maybe im just biased cos laura vandervoort is in it. either way, im going through the episodes so fast i think ill be done with season one by noon tomorrow.

just in case you guys havent found out, heroes has ended. due to low ratings and wtfish season 4 ending, the show got cancelled and there is no season 5.

there are of course, no major good game releases recently except starcraft 2, which i finished so fast i didnt even know i started. i never played starcraft 1(and my computer refuses to let me do so) so the story i abit catch no balls but thanks to the flash backs, minor history lesson during installation and story summaries by jing and sean, i think ive got the jizz(yes i know its supposed to be jist) of it. apparently blizzard thinks its farking funny to release a game in 3 parts, milking people for 100 sgd per game, making starcraft 2 prolly the most expensive non collector edition game if u buy all 3 'fun packs' that makes the game complete(1 fun pack for each race, isnt that gay..)

id say in game graphics is commendable though, due to the detailed squishy effects and other physics, detailed attack animations. if u have all graphic settings maxed out, youll notice that the attack animations are quite realistic and detailed. for eg, marines spam their rifles and bullets hit different locations on the target( first bullet hit head second goes lower and lower to the leg area) though its quite repetitive. when hitting zerg towers, they seem squishy and spurt purple liquid i assume is blood and bounce about like jelly in the right directions(if u hit from the left, its like pushed to the right and vice versa)

zooming into buildings and units also show that the textures and w/e are also very detailed except that there are no in game anti aliasing options so you have to force aa on your graphics card control panel and ATI cards lack that mother farking option( ati catalyst driver 10.7 BETA is supposed to fix that but i havent tried it) which makes me want to go back to being a green fan again.

because im medically ceritfied to stay seated for at least 2 weeks( and my parents cant do shit about it cos the doctor said DONT MOVE ABOUT IF YOU DONT NEED TO ), im scouring imdb for any interesting tv shows or movies made by vandervoort and attempting to make sense of the game, Blazblue calamity trigger which i just obtained. so far all i can conclude is that japanese girls who seem extremely thin, frail and insanely seductive, can kick your ass really well by jumping into the air(sort of moaning as they do so) and unleashing some funny shit like throwing a stick or shooting a gun with no bullet limitations or recoil. on the other hand, men with BIG BIG GIGANTIC swords that are twice the size of the wielder, seem to have no problem holding the sword in one hand but fail miserably at dealing ANY respectable damage with it. maybe the sword is made of plastic, or maybe paper.

im sure your eyes are probably like this right now X.X due to the wall of text so ill end with this picture.

yes, it really is an in game cut scene dialog. actually its more like wad the char said after winning or smth..

what the fuck day

2010-08-11T18:56:00.002+08:00

today must be one of the most motherfuckingly fucked up day in a long long time.

i came down with a flu last night with high fever, headaches and sore throat.

this morning it got worse and with all the medication making me hallucinate and drowsy, i fell down a flight of stairs and sprained my left ankle really bad. i think it might even be dislocated because everytime i touch or try to move it it hurts really bad.

tomorrow is my final year project presentation day and i cant walk, talk or stand.

i love my life

hats off to this marthar farka

replaced the sg flag with an ahmoh masturbating lol!

bet it only stayed on for a 1min or less.

anyway,

saw salt and tekken movie.

Salt was surprisingly bad. the plot was rather lame and the acting was amazingly bad.

Tekken was even worse. what an excuse for a movie. characters were lamely introduced and most of them do not follow in game fighting styles and the acting + plot was so bad i feel that dead or alive movie was alot better.

dint have time to watch the last airbender but looking at the reviews i should probably not spend 8 bucks on it.

im not exactly sure if it was because i was exceptionally jaded today cos i felt the ndp parade sucked more than it used to.

i just need to keep you in mind, as something larger than life

2010-08-02T13:55:00.004+08:00

for about 30-45 minutes on saturday 31st july 2010, i was truly happy. not the kind of happiness you feel when you get 100/100 for a test or the happiness you feel when you pass your driving test(if you do feel happy that you passed) or the happiness that you feel when you get something you really wanted for your birthday.

it was some sort of happiness and serenity combined kind of happy. i cant exactly explain it but all i can say is i havent and will probably not feel it again in a long time.

after 5 years the boat is finally working and i got to bring it out to sea(with parents and the mechanic onboard of course) for the test run. ive completely forgotten the feeling of cutting through the waves at 35 knots/hr(about 64km/h) and feeling the winds trying to force you off the vessel every moment.

for that 30-45 minutes, i truly felt free as i navigated aimlessly further and further into the vast sea.

that aside, i watched soccerer's apprentice and i felt it was sort of a lame movie. weak attempt to create a memorable kiddy magic movie with lots of lameish humor references and paying homage to starwars, disney's fantasia and some others i cant remember. rather predictable plot and lame magic effects. everyone in the show was throwing hadoukens and what seems like ex-hadoukens or kamehkameh ha w/e you call that move.

the ads itself has nicolas cage doing some sort of m.bison's psycho field

hadouken

ex hadouken

Kamehameha

it seems like common practice nowadays to make films that include a vast majority of unknown or rising actors to keep the film budget as low as possible and include one superstar to attract the fan crowd(in this case, cage) its also common for protagonist to ALWAYS reach/gain their full potential when their lives are at stake or at the last moment to save some people for a happy ending. why isnt there a movie where the antagonist wins or does serious damage and the protagonist either dies or becomes a crippled shit and the antagonist achieves his/her goals.

4/10 for this movie, it gets points for being in 2k digital and a little creativity.

your mind is the scene of the crime

2010-07-18T18:51:00.002+08:00

went to jet's school bazaar which was quite an epik phailure and i do not wish to go into details.

after that we went to watch inception at eng wah suntec

inception was a blast! mind boggling, mind fucking, whatever, just fucking watch it or you be missing out on one of the best shows this year. it has a relatively creative and solid plot with very few or no loopholes at all. it does actually require you to activate your brain to understand whats going on though, so dont watch it on a day when all your braincells are dead or if you dont feel like watching something that requires thinking or you wind up asking wtf is going on half way into the film.

the ending is rather cliffhangerish and is open to interpretion. personally i think that at the ending, cobb might still be stuck in a dream.

after inception i left for stanley's advanced birthday celebration dinner in which i was excluded since i already had dinner and although i said im coming down no one actually booked a seat for me in the restaurant(some teppan yaki place in orchard ion). so i was left to walk around or rather torture my feet for half an hour in ion by myself and i really was just walking for the sake of walking since none of the shops has anything that interests me.

after the dinner we walked over to cathay cineleisure @ orchard planning to catch a movie but all the timings were screwed and i sure as hell dint want to watch inception 2 times in a day or wait till after 12am for some other show(which conincidentally would prolly be despicable me which i think is really retarded btw)

ended up deciding to go to some pub near victoria concert hall. however, we never made it. despite my valiant efforts to overcome the pain,numbness and collapsing(cos we fucking walked from cathay all the mother fucking way to parliament house/boat quay area), the group that walked ahead decided it was funny to walk extremely fast ahead leaving me with stanley and kevin who were accompanying me (cos i cant walk fast if i want to avoid collapsing in the middle of the street in public) far behind. after being seperated by a traffic light at supreme court area, the group ahead magically disappeared and refused to pick up stanley's calls cos we had no idea whr to go(maybe as prank? idk and idc) and pissed stanley off and he decided to go home.

what a sad way to end an advanced birthday celebrated.

pew pew!

2010-07-16T22:30:00.005+08:00

was reading up about different kinds of human memory and now im stuck wondering if i have partial eidetic memory and if i have hyperthymesia since memories of certain events that i have expereienced can be recalled with extreme accuracy down to the most minor details. i dont want to go into specifics but to put it simply, i can vividly remember many many events/days of my life no matter how mundane they are with absolute detail( what people were wearing, what they said, where i was, where they were etc etc) without using mnemonics. however, events that i can remember are mostly uncontrollable and i cannot select what to remember or what not to. still, i can remember ALOT

i also remember what i see extremely well, which leads me to believe i might have partial eidetic memory though there is no real proof that people with eidetic memory actually exist. some english lady has almost perfect eidetic memory but it could also be due to her omfgwtfimbal iq of 191.

which led me to discover that high iq society(google high iq society, test is free, join must pay) has a new iq test program. i gave it a try and the first time was fucking stupid becos i was given 6 mins to do 20 qns which appear 1 by 1 but even before the qn appear the timer start alrdy then the page so fucking lag every qn take 20 sec to load so lame..

first try i got 129 cos of the stupid time finishing before i completed finishing all qns due to lag and slow load..

2nd try 138 which is pretty close to my previous score of 148 from their old test

i prefer their old test though.. at least got some trivia qns not like this one all pattern qns only.. and it also feels easier though my score obviously contradicts that statement.

going to jet's sec sch bazzar tomorrow. hope he isnt as retarded in real life as he is online.

300

2010-07-10T22:37:00.004+08:00

yes, this is the 300th post and its not about the movie in which topless men run around holding spears and shields screaming this is sparta

got dragged out the entire day by my parents first to sembawang SAF yatch club to visit the mechanic working on our boat to take a look at the dear little engine that has been dead for almost 5 years.

now that my dad finally has the balls to get another mechanic to do the work(the first one fainted due to a heart attack in our boat while working on the engine about 5 years ago and has so far never done much due to him not wanting another near death experience. for some reason my dad felt obligated to wait and see what the mechanic will do in his semi retired state for like 5 years before deciding that that old hag probably wouldnt do anything else even if he was given 20 years.), the boat is finally going to be operational in about a month's time and i can finally take it out to sea and start ramming some sampans. just joking.

after like 2 hours in the saf yatch club due to a sudden heavy downpour that prevented us from getting to the car, we went to tangs where i bought a new picard wallet. fucking 82 bucks.

genuine soft leather with hell loads of card slots to hold all sorts of shit cards.

then after an entertaining heated arguement on what to eat for dinner, we went to geylang lor 33 for jia hui's dad's geylang claypot rice.

frankly i feel that the claypot chicken rice was far worse than what you can get from most hawker centres. im not sure if its because some talented foreigner was doing the cooking or its just like that. the rice was tasteless, the chicken pieces were all filled with bones and the chinese sausages were like wax pellets.

however, the sambal kangkong, prawns(some fried prawns with fruits) and lotus leaf assorted meats were not bad.

the sambal kangkong was unique as chilli padi was used. after diagnosing(quite literally) it, my mom says that its prolly because the chilli padi was not cooked together with the kangkong but only added after frying the kangkong for some time. hence the refreshing and overpowering spicy taste.

i also feel that the price of the food was a little more than what it should be. 18 bucks for one claypot rice(big pot, for 3 ppl), 20 bucks for prawns, 8 bucks for kangkong and 18 for assorted meats wrapped in lotus leaves

parking was also extreme gay since we dint know there were allocated parking areas for customers so we had to circle round and round the area for 20 minutes until i gave up and parked at some ulu backstreet alley which looked like a perfect location to film a rape scene or to simply carry out the act.

ill end this off with a fail. ( note date of email and date sent )

its now time for 5 fun facts that you thought knew.. but you couldnt have thought that you knew if you dint already know what you thought you dint know which is what you thought you knew which is abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

1) cool guys wear skinnies half a size larger to make themselves look malnutritioned and born without an ass or any ass cheeks

2) to look cooler, wear skinnies 1-2 sizes larger and let them sag low to show off your boxers or briefs

3) its fun to add extremely naive or stupid people on facebook just to see the stuff they post or leave as their pm

4) my parents like to live in the past. to them, a bowl of noodles should still cost 5 cents and being able to take a shower = good life

5) i can be exempted from nafa

bonus fact its good practice to exhibit da middle finger excessively when overtaking an extremely slow vehicle on lane 1 in expressways. like seriously.. 60kmph on lane 1?

2010-05-24T21:38:00.002+08:00

why are there suddenly so many slow moving motorcycles on the road? are motorcyclists becoming more cautious or is the traffic police propaganda that speeding will cause you to crash into a tree and land with your head up your ass working?

i thought motorcycles were designed to weave in and out of traffic. no matter, i think travelling at 50kmph on the 1st lane on the highway is fucking retarded especially when your a motorcycle and riding in the middle of the fucking lane. why the fuck keep right when you want to go so slowly. asking for people to bang you only..

kevin has gotten himself into some intoxicated gay state where he likes guys. besides being the resident flasher and gay stripper in his neighbourhood, he comes to school and tries to touch every guy he sees. he likes touching jia hui in particular. when i say touch i really mean touch. he even tried to trick me into holding his hand by randomly saying hey reuben! hi five! luckily in my sleep deprived state, i still have enough brain cells to know that hes just trying to hold my hand.

i recently got hooked on this tv series called chuck, which is in its 3rd season now. its about some tardy geek who suddenly has a computer in his brain which contains all the cia and nsa secrets and is now a spy. it gets kind of dramatic and cheesy at times but yvonne strahovski alone makes the series worth watching =D shes the girl that miranda lawson in mass effect 2 is supposed to resemble and i must say the details are really quite accurate right down to her 2 prominent front teeth.

time passes ever so quickly. its now the end of the 4th week of school and my final year project's preliminary report is due in one week. best part of it all, is that I have not even started typing a single sentence.

lessons are like a blur again. all I know is that im a zombie going to class just to take out my laptop and either surf the web or play games, completely ignoring whatever the lecturer is saying or asking me to do. I find that I cant help it. Try as I might, I still end up doing what I shouldnt be doing.

something happened today that I feel is rather surreal. I never understood why so many people were against this particular person in my class. I guess today's incident, if it really is what it seems like, will help me finally understand. I have no idea how this person could pull off such a thing. Its not on a random stranger, its on someone youve been seeing everyday for the past three years. If you thought you could have gotten away with it, or even if you really did get away with it, do you not have an ounce of morality?

I do hope its all a misunderstanding because knowing that someone could pull off such a stunt right under your nose makes you wonder if the person would literally stab you in the back if you stand in the person's way given half the chance.

It is funny how just last night, or rather 16 hours ago, Ive been having a debate with Sean over how I believe almost everyone and everything has a price and can be bought. Well that friendship apparently has a price tag on it. And its about 40 bucks.

No, the incident doesnt exactly concern me nor does it affect me but it made my eyes go wider than I thought they could when I heard about the incident.

The straits times now has 3D advertisements and articles. wednesday's issue also came with a free pair of cheapo cellophane tape, made of paper 3d 'glasses'. I tried it out the moment i saw an article about it online and I must say it works! Its not exactly the kind of 3d you see in the movies but it does give objects 3d effects and also make colors more vibrant and shiny. one problem though, is that after 10 minutes of reading with the glasses on, I removed the glasses and felt like alice in wonderballsland. Things were colored funny and I felt woozy for a few moments before going back to normal.

this 3d stunt is probably an excuse for a probably upcoming price hike in the newspapers.
(this sentence is my opinion and purely my opinion and NOT a fact so dont whine or say wtf noob if prices dont go up because its AN OPINION)

I wonder if cellophane paper 3d glasses will work with the nvidia 3d vision shit. TOO BAD I no longer have nvidia graphic cards and probably will not ever have them ever again considering that ATI is dominating the scene and nvidia is sulking in a corner with its latest most anticipated new generation omfgwtfimbalness GTX480 consuming more power and producing more heat than a 5870 and does NOT outperform the 5870 in most benchmarks and only wins a few benchmarks by about 20 frames a second.

And if you havent checked out photoshop CS5, check it out because it is insanely good. proof? I have no idea how to use previous photoshop versions but with this CS5 and its content aware fill, I feel like a pro and I am able to edit photos using photoshop instead of paint. Now THATS nothing short of amazing.

its not what you said but its the way you said it

drove to school for the first time today.. felt the heat rays on my hands, the glare in my eyes, the adrenaline rush, the honking of mother fuckers.

no i wasnt drink driving..

i just realised that i do not know how to go to many places from school. eg: orchard

i only know how to go home from school T.T and my stupid phone gps took about 10 minutes to lock on and by that time, im already half way home(ok more like a quarter)..

they stole my lies, you bought them all

2010-04-29T10:07:00.004+08:00

forum thread
http://forum.notebookreview.com/alienware-owners-lounges-guides-large-threads/455435-official-m17x-benchmark-thread-part-3-a.html

need to see how i can get higher clock speeds for my dumb graphic cards so that i can be on the top 5 vantage list.

i never seem to be able to push my graphic cards as hard as the others do but i always seem to be able to get higher processor speeds than the rest(thecodebreaker made it to the top with only 3.xxghz while i have 4.xx ghz and im sure i can still push further)

must be singapore too farking hot..

took some pictures while unboxing

from the outside,

the inner box,

accessory box(THIS TIME GOT ALIENWARE CAP!!!<3)

the laptop, protected by so much shit

this sexy red thing

i7 extreme lei dun pray pray

as usual, one of the first things i did was to REFORMAT and then BENCH!!

quite ok scores.. processor oced 3% only so i dint expect much..

one fucking sad thing is that on the day it arrived, the fucking 5870s were launched in europe for the m17x.. FUCK!

im considering selling this or wait till the cards are available in singapore and then see if i can just sell my 4870s on ebay and buy the 5870s from dell.. w/e.. not much hope on selling it though.. no one in the right mind will buy a 6.5k laptop here in singapore

school is really gay.

digital life is quite a joke

2010-04-16T12:21:00.004+08:00

just read this week's digital life(published on wednesday).

loved the review on the ati radeon 5970. it made me go what the fuck for about 20 seconds then made me laugh for another 20 seconds. the guy who reviewed it and the editor probably had NO IDEA what they were doing. and that assumption is made with me being as nice as possible.

why?

take a look at this 'benchmark' graph created by the reviewer. the light green is the score for the 5970, and the dark green are the scores for the 5870. his benchmark system specs are AMD phenom II x4 940 which i assume is at 3ghz unoverclocked and 4gb ram(never state what kind of ram so i assume is ddr2). he also nv state operating system so lets assume is some win 7 sheet. so cool man.. benchmark nv state full specs.. on NEWSPAPER SOME MORE

The ati 5970 is almost literally two 5870 cards stuck on one board. so it SHOULD give better performance than a single 5870 even if it means just a single fps increase.

look at the graph above. i bet its a fucking typo error. which makes it a fucking joke. the editor and writer obviously have no idea what they are talking about if they dint notice that they had labelled the bars wrongly. the 5970 should have been the DARK GREEN instead of the LIGHT GREEN and vice versa. how do i know this for sure? because he said in DX11 benchmarks, the 5970 showed a huge increase in performance. but according to the graph, the 5870 smokes the 5970 in dx11 benchmarks.. fucking joke man..

the BIGGEST joke is, the 3dmark06 and vantage scores. at default settings, the 5870 scores like what 17k and the 5970 scores 16k? even if they dint screw up and labelled the bars correctly, the 5970 scoring 17k in 06 and 15k in vantage is such a massive big big big big fat joke.

i score about 17k in 3dmark06 at STOCK(no oc) and mines a laptop thats been out in the market for about a year plus now. and i know that the scores that the 5870&5970 produce should be no where near my system. with my system oced to max, i achieved over 13k in vantage, which is what the 5870 achieved. what a joke.. a simple google search of the review would show that the 5970 should hit around 20k in vantage and the 5870 should be around 17k in vantage. the scores the digital life reviewer posted were more likely possible in the HIGH preset of 3dmark vantage and a custom setting of 3dmark 06. but he said ALL DEFAULT SETTINGS on the paper. so waddaup doc? did you dl alot of porn and spywares before benchmarking? or did you remove all the heat sinks and hence cause thermal throttling?

if most people believe his article and scores, i should be able to get more than what i paid for my system should i sell it to an unsuspecting singaporean since my benchmark results when overclocked are higher than what the FASTEST CARD IN THE UNIVERSE produces. and mines a laptop so its portable and FASTER THAN THE FASTEST CARD IN THE UNIVERSE.

oh and chex diz out

i haz da beta of office 2010 components ^^

ps: the 5970 costs 1k =( and so does the i7 980x. 2k for just 1 silicon chip and a massive brick. benching them would be sweet as fuck though

today, im old.. er

2010-04-11T17:53:00.009+08:00

happy shit 19 to me! this is the last year of my 'teenage' years so i should get a fucked up as possible!

tonight was the first time i celebrated my birthday together with my grandmother who also has the same birthdate as me but we usually celebrated seperately but for several gay reasons, we ended up celebrating together in some seafood restaurant. celebrating together has some perks though. some ang baoz from my relatives =O

thank you all for the wishes and for those who forgot, up yours! just kidding. i wouldnt want to go up yours.

several people forgot my birthday openly. like 3 primary school friends and one guy called keith. at least they were candid about it(im just consoling myself and i dont seem to be doing a good job)

as usual, i dont get ANY presents at all. as stanford says, birthdays SHOULD come with presents be it big or small. i guess no one knows what to get me. or they cant be bothered to think about what to get me.

ok now for birthday wishes. i wish that this motherfucking insomnia will go away and i can get uninterupted deep sleep like a pig, 12 hours a day. i also wish my parents will tio 4d or my shares will rise insanely high so i can sell them and finally afford my own car.

the funny thing about cars in singapore, sometimes the COE is more expensive than the fucking car. i can now afford a 15 year old bmw 520i which costs about 15k but the coe ends next year. the fucking coe for a car of this size is about 40k. so why the fuck the certificate of entitlement is more expensive than the physical object you are entitled to is anyone's guess. infact, some brand new cheapo cars also cost around 35k only.. coe more ex than car.. the piece of paper more ex than your farking car! gogo power rangers!

watched HOW TO TRAIN YOUR SEXUAL DRAGON in three dimensionz. felt kinda gay(cos 4 guy watch cartoon so not homoish) at first but then felt childish cos the entire theatre was filled with primary and lower secondary school KIDS and we were like the only people above the age of 16 there. relatively basic and linear story line, several flat scenes where there was totally no 3d and if you stare hard enough you'll notice(geek mode online) the physics processing is quite fucked and off. its like the wind is blowing 1 direction rite.. then the character hair.. flying in conflicting directions. like he is facing the sun, the wind is blowing towards the sun, so his hair should point to the sun direction. but in this movie his one side, lets say right sideburn is pointing to the sun, but his left is pointing the other side or criss crossing each other. i bet they dint use cuda to process the physx =) (geek mode offine)

other than that, i think the characters are nicely rendered and mostly very detailed and you can actually see the bristly texture of the viking hair.

but ah, the girl so skinny then like so strong... realism +1

ok so summary, happy birdday to me, if you nv wish me, fuck you. if you did, thank you. i can afford car but cannot afford the stupid piece of paper. i have sleep problems still(2 years and counting baybeh). how to train your gay dragon is an ok show but poor physics kthxbai

i am here to tell you a story. a story that will torture your thoughts by day and poison your dreams by night.

2010-04-06T11:02:00.006+08:00

April fool's day was a cold and tragic day. The sky was overcast and all was as gloomy as my face when doing groccery shopping. I went to the Comfort Delgro Driving Centre at 9am to queue in line to have my head chopped by traffic police officials. At 9.10, my warm up session begun. i mounted kerbs, drove in wrong lanes and almost rammed down a sign post.

At 9.45am, my warm up session ended with me feeling warmer than usual thanks to the naggy instructor telling me what to do every single second. "turn right now!, full lock your steering! At this area you must look left before you turn." he said, as though I was a child recently released from a mental institute. Feeling warm enough to land a fist in someone's face, I went to take a piss and went into the waiting room where I tripped on my shoelaces.

No, I dint fall and land flat on my face. I sort of fell into my chair like I had intended to do it all along.

At 10.15am sharp(okay, maybe not so sharp.. the clock hands were kinda blunt), a traffic police official by the name of Song Miang Chiang called my name. I was frantic! I felt I was going to fail!

AND I... PHAILED!

I failed so badly that the tester threw this piece of paper in my face.

!!!!!!

just joking.. I passed.

I have also managed to overclock my lenovo's gpu by about 10% and got some interesting benchmark results with minimal heat increment. overclocked gaming ftw? im gona test it out when school opens.

My M17x R2 is landing soon as well. Somewhere before school starts i guess.

Okay, iPad review request...

unfortunately ive never seen or felt an ipad in real life yet but by the looks of it, its the kind of apple product i would want to stay away from unless buying one will make me a chick magnet like how picking up coins from a fountain in the starstruk music video makes 1 random hot girl attracted to you with every coin you retrieve.

So from what ive seen,read and heard, the iPad is an epic failure. its an oversized iphone/ipod touch with noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo apparent use. it cannot multitask, has no proper flash support and its running on a gay 1ghz processor.

It can run ipod touch/iphone apps but why would you get an 11 inch touch screen tablet to run your iphone apps?

So basically its like a REAL netbook that can only surf the net. Oh and while it can load webpages, dont forget it CANT load all sorts of flash content so your oh so loved farmville probably will lag/not load properly due to the lack of full flash support.

some interesting shit about the apple sanitary pad. i can already imagine keith with one of them saying pak pak everytime he taps the screen.

and it does seem odd to be getting older every year. when we were young, we couldnt wait to grow up.

EDIT: just for the geekasses who visit or those who are interested, Intel's i7-980x is the all new extreme processor built on a 32nm process with 6 fucking physical cores @ 3.33ghz(overclockable+turbo boostable) and 12 mother fucking threads and it doesnt kick ass, it EATS THEM! BEST PART IS, it has the same socket as the older i7s and can fit on any x58 motherboard as long as you update the bios! the last i saw, video pro is selling it at $1099without a mobo.i so need to build my own desktop rig. laptop components are so expensive and difficult to obtain.

i imagine a rig with an i7-980 oced and 2x 5970s will give insane benchmark scores and be able to rape the upcoming crysis 2 unless it requires physx which will suck real bad for all ati owners

EDIT 2:

LOL clubsnap is down! i bet gibson and jeremy are shivering and trembling like druggies on cold turkey. just joking.. id like to bench their new server though :)

Lenovo Y460 Review

2010-03-14T23:37:00.004+08:00

ok, so ive finally transfered most of my stuff over to my new lenovo y460.

Also, ive cleaned up whatever bloatware shit that are usually included in oem machines like anti viruses, power management shait and other funny stuff like cd burning software etc etc..

i also reinstalled some drivers because they were screwed. the video adapter drivers were especially screwed. at first it showed 4 gpus(see pic below)

this is probably due to some retarded registry error when they copied the factory image over to the laptop hard disk.

any computer retard who received a laptop like this would probably go WOO! IM GOOD! I HAVE 4 GRAPHIC ADAPTERS! GREAT LAPTOP!

i also found out 2 very depressing facts:

1) for now, there is NO WAY i can overclock my cpu T.T
2) for now, there is NO WAY i can overclock my GPU T.T

this is probably due to the hardware and model being new(launched in january) and all the enthusiast ppl havent created a program compatible with the hardware yet. OH NOES!

but overall, gaming performance at the weird ass native resolution(1366x768) is not bad. 40 frames avg in battlefield bad company 2 and about 80 fps in l4d and l4d 2 all maxed out with 2xaa and 2xaf

Specs
intel core i5-540m 2.53ghz turbo to 3.06ghz
4gb ddr3 1066mhz ram
500gb (I THINK ITS 5400rpm hdd)
14.1inch led screen
6 cell battery(with only like 4 hours battery life on integrated gfx-.-)
Ati mobility 5650 1gb gfx card
intel 1000 wifi card
lame as hell jbl speakers

design:

ok so lenovo isnt known for its kick ass laptop designs but this one is quite different from the usual thinkpad range(maybe thats why its in the ideapad range >.> im not really familiar with lenovo designs cos the specs usually turn me off). its not exactly sleek and shiny but its not bulky and doesnt scream " im an old man using a bizness laptop" either

Display:
okay, so this is like my first laptop with an LED display. however, it is obvious that the LED screen is relatively low quality cos the colors and image quality is not very good.

the whites on the screen has the color of a white fluorescent lamps which is quite eye straining. the reds are overly rich and overall i feel there is a bluish tint throughout the entire screen which is usually present in low end screens.

with the screen being so small at 14.1 inches and having the pixel density of 1366x768, i expected the pixels to be relatively unnoticeable but it seems like i was wrong. when reading words/fonts, pixels are really obvious(for me at least) when the alphabet has curves(eg B or C or G). you can see pixel edges on the alphabets. its kind of hard to describe but anyone who knows me well would know that i am 'pixel sensitive' and can spot pixels very easily. and yes, they annoy the hell out of me.

heat issues and air circulation:

needless to say, i used the laptop in bed for 2 nights to test out how well the cooling solution is. the cooling solution is basically, 1 fucking fan on the gpu and a heatsink pipe on the cpu. yes i opened it up(oops, shldnt have said that).

because one of the free gifts is a china shit cooling pad with fancy homo lights, the temps with the cooling pad on wasnt exactly that bad. id still say the temps arent good though. with the cooling pad, gaming for about half an hour brings the temps to a peak of 83 degrees for battlefield and l4d2. on less demanding games like street fighter 4, it peaks at about 75.

now i havent tried it without the cooling pad but i have a hunch it WILL hit 90 with or without a cooling pad if i play for more than an hour. which means i probably have to open it up and put my own thermal paste on the cpu and gpu.

the fan is really pathetic. i would have expected the fan to make at least some sound when maxed out. yes its totally silent and you dont even know theres a fan present until you feel SOME air coming out of the vent at the left side when the keyboard is burning up.

yes, the heat travels round the entire laptop and the keyboard, especially the area at the WSAD keys(where the gpu is and where heat sink pipe leads to).

having it on your lap will probably sterilize you or in some cases, make fried bird out of your penis.

sound quality:

EWWWWWWWWWW! compared to my alienware and previous xps 1730, this laptop's speakers redefine the word FAIL. on the marketing level, they claim to have dolby home theatre certification and JBL speakers. but in reality, it sucks so badly i think if i fart, the sound created will be deeper and clearer than what the speakers produce.

they seem to have a lack of output channels and lack of audio frequency range.

playing a simple mp3 song like

the thespian by alesana

gives such an awful output. the speakers dont seem to be capable of playing both the vocals and drums+background instruments at the same time. when there are only vocals and no drums/others, the sound quality seems NORMAL but the moment some other instrument plays, the vocals and instruments are sort of jumbled and extremely unclear. its just like blasting the same song on a really cheapo phone with 1 speaker with stereo widening on. all you hear is some trash bang bang bang and nothing else.

im not sure if its due to the stupid realtek audio driver or the audio chip or the damned speakers but all i know is that audio quality sucks bad

i also dislike the audio ports being static. on some laptops, you can change the microphone jack into an audio output jack to be able to have 2 speaker output jacks at the same time to achieve a quad speaker configuration at least. this however, is fixed and cannot be changed.

ports and others:

it has 4 usb 2.0 ports which is not bad for a 14 inch laptop, also a pcimia card and a dvd rw drive and hdmi+vga ports with touch sensitive buttons for the lulz. it lacks a memory card reader though

EDIT: I FOUND THE CARD READER LOL! it was beside the wireless switch all along.. damn you sneaky bastard..

vents at the bottom are all made of prasteek and feels very flimsy. hope it doesnt melt or anything -.-

synthetic benchmarks:

despite not being to overclock it, i feel that the laptop pumps out really decent scores. an average laptop with a decent graphics card would score about 4k in 3dmark06 and about 1-2k in vantage. this however, packs alot more punch that its peers of the same size.

these scores pwn an overclocked alienware M11x's scores badly according to the benchmark site here http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=459834

the highest overclocked score for 3dmark06 on the m11x is 7105 and the highest overclocked vantage score is 3278

mine are in the screenshots above so it shows that the y460's cpu and gpu are at least 10% better than the m11x's.

of course the m11x is smaller so it has a better selling point. however, since ive been carrying a 6-7kg laptop everyday to school, this y460 feels like a feather.

in fact, the adapter plus the laptop weighs just as much as MY ALIENWARE'S ADAPTER ONLY.

all in all, i give it a 7/10. great price at 1700 SGD(rounded off, could have been better but oh wel) with mid ranged specs. only flaw is the audio quality and mildy irritating screen.

dell has given the ok for an r2 replacement. however, im kinda sick of their gaming laptops with issues surfacing so very often and not to mention, lack of direct x 11 cards(yea the 5870s arent announced yet and tessellation turns me on) i took a step forward and request for an alienware area 51 alx desktop instead.

specs

Core i7 extreme 975
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
6gb 1333mhz ram
1tb(500gbx2) hdd
single 2gb ddr5 ati 5970

hope they approve ^^ then i can add another 5970 and have quad card crossfire and achieve like 50k 3dmark vantage!

if they dont, ill have to settle for an m17x r2

specs

intel core i7 extreme 920xm
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
8gb 1333mhz ram
2x500gb 7200rpm hard drives
dual ati 4870s in crossfire
blu ray drive
17.0" WUXGA 1920 x 1200 - Beyond HD (1200p) - RGB LED

either way, ill be able to be free of the stupid stutters and fps drops.

i requested for red this time round. since i aint gona bring my m17x out everyday cos im getting a smaller laptop, i figured theres no harm in turning heads occasionally when i do bring it out.

anyway, i cant decide if i should pre order command and conquer 4: tiberium twilight. im a big fan of the cnc series and yes i do have a genuine copy of cnc3+kanes wrath. in fact i have genuine copies of almost every single command and conquer game including the red alert series starting from the dos game red alert 1. however this time round, the pre order freebies are such a turnoff. bonus missions and free soundtrack? what the fuck? as if the name containing the word twilight isnt gay enough. i bet some of the producers must be twilight whores or something to pick that winning name from a huge pool of suggested names.

singnet is majorly fucked up these few days. im not sure if the problems are due to the recent earthquake. my net dcs and slows down so very often. what the fuck man seriously. i dc while dling a 8 GB NON RESUMABLE DOWNLOAD WHICH I WAS DOWNLOADING FOR ABOUT 13 HOURS AND IT WAS AT 98% before singnet decided it was time to dc me. lovedieyou man

monday marks the start of my lamely packed driving frenzy schedule. i hope i can survive the almost daily 200 minute sessions which i have booked throughout the entire month.

Today marks the start of the HOLIDAYS!

yea its a hell load later compared to the people in other polytechnics.

Im so happy! I feel so gay! I want to BENCHMARK! Its time to get my ass in the top 5 all powerful category!

Unfortunately, the weather isnt on my side. It hasnt rained in WEEKS and last month has broken the record of lowest rainfall since i dont know when at 7.3mm of rainfall in febuary. Experts(though i doubt that label) say that this heat spell wouldnt let up in march either.

Its gotten as hot as about 38 in the day(or so my weather desktop gadget says) and about 35 degrees at NIGHT. what the fuck man. i recall always seeing temperatures of around 24-26 degrees on the gadget at night and ask myself what the fuck is wrong with the gadget; this doesnt feel like 24 degrees.

but this time i think its got the right temperature! its so farking hot i cant even OC by like 25% or the temps will cause instability.

hell my hand even sweats from the heat produced by the fans when playing battlefield bad company 2.

my aircon seems to have broken down. maybe its so hot that even air cons are pointless. i can set my aircon at 18 degrees with max fan and leave it on for 4 hours and when i turn of my extra fan, i feel warm! like wtf!

IT fair is coming! time to splurge on all that gayish gadgets. I think im gona get a 2tb external hdd, new laptop and maybe a portable 500gb ext drive. oh and maybe the new razer vespula(or smth like that) mouse pad.

Sanity is slowly slipping from my hands now, im standing closer to the edge than i should be allowed

2010-03-01T11:43:00.002+08:00

goodness gracious me campaign is a really fucking stupid idea. i wonder which retard came up with this idea.

sure its a good idea to clean up after ourselves but does this move which reduces the need for cleaners become beneficial for us all?

when we walk into a hawker centre, all prices are inclusive of gst+what ever hidden shit charges which the stalls are charged for. that includes, enough profit to cover rent and misc charges which includes cleaners.

if the hawker centre reduces the number of cleaners, do they give the stalls cheaper rent/misc charges? do the stalls in turn give us cheaper food?

recently i went to vivo city's food refuckingpublic on the 2nd day of china new year and guess what? they have this 20% food inflation charge. and on top of that, my plate of rice which includes 1 meat 1 veg and 1 seafood from the 'econimical rice' stall cost $20 motherfucking singapore dollars. what the fuck?

i could have eaten in certain restaurants and still have some change. i guess vivo city's economy must be different from singapore's because the last time i checked, food from food courts do not exceed 10 dollars unless its some prime steak from a western stall but it still wouldnt reach 20 fucking dollars. some guy beside me had a plate of rice with 3 veg and it cost 10 bucks. cool as fuck

back to the point, the entire campaign is mostly to increase profits and make people's lives harder than they already are. why not hire more cleaners if there arent enough to go around cleaning up after people? its nothing to do with basic responsibility. its a job that is available to everyone. its just like saying, why need maid? you can do everything the maid does yourself. so are we gona start a 'maids? whats that?' campaign?

hawker centres should just hire more cleaners since there are overwhelming numbers of talented foreign individuals who are actually jobless here in singapore.

when singaporeans are jobless, we are losers. when some foreigner is jobless in singapore, he is a talented individual. why? cos hes prolly gona get YOUR job in no time at all. most of them have talents alright. they have a skill pumped to the max level. its called job steal. they also have another which probably is pumped to the max level as well. its called try to make local's lives more unbearable than they already are. another skill is slowly getting pumped up as well and its called steal local's place in life in their own country.

so next time if someone prompts you to clean up your plates/trays at hawker centres,

1. stay calm
2. stare them in the eyes
3. show them your middle finger(fingers if you can spare both. Oh and your real middle finger if you can spare it too).
4. shout hatedieyou at the person(optional)
5. walk away like you actually planned to before that person came and disrupted your careful planning

unless you really want to do your part and be an extremely responsible person,clear the tray and plates yourself.

Imagine where you'd be now if you only knew, that the one you love is the one whos killing you

woot! i made it into the top 5 m17x r1 benchmark high score list!

when your bored and have nothing to do during visiting, your laptop is your friend!

managed to get 3.35ghz stable out of my cpu. used to be maxed at 3.25. woooo! no screenshot though, forgot to take one.

i did however, take an ss of my grandparent's net connection

wtf right? 2 old people who only use the net to watch youtube videos and chat on msn got 25mbps plan and ALL I FUCKING HAVE IS A 3mbps plan and my parents think ITS VERY FAST WAT when they are using the net at the same time as me and their web pages take about 2 solid minutes to load and they still think very fast and the load time is caused by the computer not the net speed. the 'computer' is actually an ibm x336(or 366 cant remember off hand) server with 2x quad core xeon at 3.4ghz ( 8 physical cores 8 threads) with 8 gb ram and raid 0 2x 80gb 15k rpm scsi disks. oh fuck yea the computer is a bottle neck alright.

people who have their webpages load in less than a minute must have fucking super computers

also, my grandmother told me striaght in the face that she wanted great grandchildren asap during reunion dinner. wtf??!!!! i hate kids. almost everyone who knows me knows that. and wtf! im not even 19 yet

2010-02-12T12:10:00.001+08:00

part of my email to dell

Also, Ill list down the specs that I expect in the R2 replacement if the
problem is solved.

Metallic space red base
intel core i7 extreme 920xm
windows 7 ultimate 64 bit
8gb 1333mhz ram
2x500gb 7200rpm hard drives
dual ati 4870s in crossfire
blu ray drive
17.0" WUXGA 1920 x 1200 - Beyond HD (1200p) - RGB LED

and all my warranties(completecover, completecover guard, NBD on site, 24x7
priority phone support) to be extended for another year from the date that
my current warranty expires. Meaning, the expiry date should be in 2 years
time instead of 1(from 3/14/2011 extended to 3/14/2012).

I think this is only fair as this is my second dell laptop that is so
expensive and it still doesn’t work properly. I have also wasted a lot of
precious time trying to solve the issue and contacting dell tech support.
The warranty extension is to ensure that if I run into any issues it can be
solved before the warranty expires as you can see this case is taking so
long.

:)

i am all that you fear, have i made myself clear?

2010-02-11T22:26:00.006+08:00

had some benching urge today so i tried to overclock my ati cards for the very first time!

ati cards are a hell lot different in terms of display control tweaking and especially overclocking.

with the nvidia cards, all i had to do was open the control panel and drag the clock speeds to what i wanted.

these ati cards however, required the card bios to be flashed so its alot more troublesome but its alot more stable.

i had to create a bootable usb stick/thumbdrive with the hp flash drive thingy and then format the thumbdrive to be a dos bootable stick using windows 98 system files.

then i had to boot with the usb, type some commands to backup the current card bios, boot back to windows, use a program to hack/modify the bios, save it and then reboot using usb stick and flash the cards with the modified bios.

overclocked cpu to 3.28ghz and cards from 550 core 888 memory to 625 core 1025 memory. ati cards do not have shader cores :(

achieved higher scores than the nvidia ones which is expected given that they ARE supposed to be at least 10% faster. pretty impressed with the heat management as well. max temp 70 degrees and constant 58-65 range under load

only thing that sucks is no physx which makes games that cannot let you disable physx, like darkest of days and section 8 etc, unplayable. with the nvidia cards i had 80-90 fps in darkest of days with all maxed out and physx high.

with these atis, physx can only be put on low and cannot be off so i only get 25fps-.- same with section 8 i get 19fps when i usually get above 100

in game stutter due to the dpc latency issues. refer to previous post for more detailed explainations

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYBP-nyfLwU

vid 2 lag at start and 0:24

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqAQqxQMTMY

happens on almost every game that is demanding.

spike rate when using ccleaner

your atis versus my nvidias

2010-02-08T19:11:00.005+08:00

woo hoo!!! got my nvidia cards swapped for atis today! damned tech came an hour late.. had to call dell twice to ask if he was coming..

im prolly the first or one of the first in sg to have ati 4870s in my m17x cos the first shipment to asia pacific arrived last friday and unless someone also has an appointment to have his gtx280s swapped for 4870s today, i should be the first ^^

so why da fark do i not feel happy?

this was the issue before the swap.

this stupid nforce 730i chipset has design flaws which causes problems understress. sli uses alot of software accleration which causes the motherboard(the stupid nforce motherboard which is made by nvidia) alot of stress. which results in dpc latency which causes STUTTERS when playing music or playing games. which is why you guys sometimes see my com lagging suddenly for no reason when i had 200fps a second ago. no is not my com cui.. is cos this nerd motherboard design so cui

this is how the dpc looks like before the bios update which was supposed to 'fix' the issue entirely. red bars mean OMFGWTFIMBAL LAG and green bar means normal. a normal computer with no bullshit should have all green bars and the most 1 red bar that only fills half the graph once every 1 hour or more. to put it simply, red means sux green means good kay?

with new bios

notice with the new bios the thing is better? in real life scenario it actually gets worse because the new bios makes my gfx cards go into high performance mode more often even during stupid things like web surfing. that causes alot more heat, which isnt pleasnt when the laptop is on your lap. even so, the problem comes when the cards downclock. the spikes are worst when the cards downclock so the new bios makes the cards upclock alot more, which results in them having to downclock more often as well which causes more lag lag lag!

so the ATIs make the problem better because ati cards use hardware accleration more which gives the mamaboard less stress.

these are the ss with the atis

youtubing,

gaming

on battery,

when idle.

notice lesser spikes and the spikes are also relatively low? the only biggggg spikes are during gaming.

gaming wise, i can say the stutters are ALOT LESS than with the nvidia cards. performance wise on some games the nvidias still perform better.

borderlands in particular, is performing REALLY BAD with these atis going at avg 45 fps.

i took a video of the in game stuttering/sudden fps drop and i am uploading to youtube right now.

the in game stutters STILL EXISTS FOR MOS GAMES just that it is LESS FREQUENT.

video quality difference is also quite visible for certain games like street fighter 4. i think games that were developed together with nvidia would look slightly different. for sf4, the characters looked more detailed with nvidia cards(their muscles and pecs were rendered more detailedly) and the background looked nicer.

similarly games made with amd/ati also looked different, like dirt 2 and stalker call of priyat. these games looked better and more detailed with these ati cards. dirt 2 also had a significant performance increase but i think thats because crossfire was on.

i also just found out ati has a feature like digital vibrance. its called saturation! so at least now i wont have washed out images. it would be great if it had physx as well though :(

so all in all, fuck dell,if by end of this week still no go for replacement, carpet bombing commences.

did you think you could make it on your own?

2010-02-07T18:48:00.004+08:00

the weather is really unbearably hawt. its so fucking hot that i cant do any benchmarking and overclocking. even with a fan blowing directly at my system, i cant oc above 15% because of the damn heat giving me blue screens half way through the tests.

the most irritating thing is that it seems to be stable when not running benchmark programs but end up crashing or giving my blue screens halfway through the benchmark tests which is fucking irritating considering one full benchmark cycle takes around 10-15 minutes and its a fucking pain in the balls when you see nice performance and then start imagining what kind of nice score will come out and then BAM blue screen! then i need to restart, find new stable clocks to oc, make sure its stable and then run the bloody 15 min tests again and BAM it crashes AGAIN when its almost ending. farking hell

i only managed to complete ONE 3dmark 06 test completely before getting too farking bored to continue.

not exactly what i was targetting for but at least i can say, ITS OVER 9000!! :(

i finally got down to doing SOME of my C programming assignment, which includes typing out the starting #include statments and saying out loud "IM GETTING SOMEWHERE!!" and then pausing and saying "i hope"...

also drafted out my smart card assignment which i think was quite an achievement given that i have the attention span of a 2 year old kid with a tv, toy, computer, handphone and hot girl right in front of him

keith keeps asking me out to pubs and stuff like that.it seems that he wants to kill off all of his brain cells which is unfortunate since hes already lacking lots. i really wonder whats so cool about drinking.. he keeps saying he enjoys drinking. and according to sean, keith pours himself drinks that are 95% soft drink and 5% alchohol and then says loudly he likes to drink.

i also know liao liddat i drink plain water and say i enjoy drinking!

this is a new pickup method: walk up to the girl, open a bottle of evian and drink half a bottle and say i like drinking, can i buy you a drink?

its sure to work if the person your trying it on has the mentality of a keith(results may vary)

god must hate me, maybe you should pray for me

2010-02-06T21:53:00.002+08:00

wasted the entire day due to some retardedly unforeseen event and trying to complete bioshock before bioshock 2 comes out.

for some reason im starting to no longer feel the urge to rush projects even though the dateline for every project draws closer with every breath i take.

im so farked up..

ok so a dell tech is coming on monday to swap my gtx 280s to dual ati radeon 4870s which are supposed to give 20% better performance and hopefully make the problems go away.

that means i have to say bye bye to cuda,physx and digital vibrance :(

i think i already know the outcome.

im gona get fucked up refurbished cards and end up having lamer problems like overheating issues etc etc and the old problem will still remain though it may be slightly better.

ill end up having to email carpet bomb dell executives all over the world and ring ring dell asia pacific's senior customer service people all day long and argue for a replacement.

turns out the r2s(i7 models) have some throttling issues as well.. what the fuck is wrong with dell selling products with design flaws.. dont anyone in their r&d department ever do any testing at all?

maybe ill ask them to authorize a full refund or to give me the next generation m17x thats coming out in a few months with i7s and 5870s and hope they dont have any lame problems.

oh well, i think ill spend the most of tomorrow overclocking and benching the hell out of my gtx 280s before they get replaced ^^

!!!

2010-02-03T21:35:00.002+08:00

update!

i have managed to convince my parents on purchasing me a smaller notebook, which gives me the choice of the m11x and any other laptop that is below 2000. yay!

whats holding me back now is the 11 inch screen cos its like farking small i bet words will look smaller than ants on the screen and ill go blind if i do programming on it. so im prolly gona wait till the it fair in march so that i can get all the free shits

my dad has also exchanged my mamba so im now back on a new mamba!

why cant you see with my hands holding your eyes open

2010-02-03T12:55:00.001+08:00

fuck laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa the m11x's base price is 1.7k SGD. fuck? costs even more than some basic 15 inch laptops.

to buy or not to buy. or should i just get a 13-14 inch laptop of the same price? that would end up relatively heavy as well so waddapoint of getting a light laptop?

faaarrrkk...

just close your eyes and you'll never see me crashing down

2010-02-02T21:09:00.005+08:00

why the fuck do all my gadgets have some sort of problem despite all of them being top of the line flagship products?

my mamba has developed a squeaky scroll wheel and i have to go to ban leong to get the shit exchanged.

my n97 is getting laggier every single day literally for some reason. its as though the processor dies slowly, losing 0.1mhz every day until one day it will finally be left with 0mhz and the phone will eventually die/hang

my sidewinder x6 keyboard macros are getting stuck when pressed and wont come up unless i dig it up.

my alienware m17x.... well, lets just say im close to writing another email to carpet bomb all the dell executives + get some help from consumer affairs

on the bright side, my ocbc credick card haz arrived!

i dont know how i can consider this the bright side since the credit card is fugly as hell.

its tied with ntuc so it has a stupid ntuc logo plus a stupid orange on it

how gay it looks...

i just got an email from a dell rep saying my ati 4870s should be arriving next week.

it wouldnt solve the problem much but will make things better... i just cant bear to give up my nvidia cards though.. ati cards lack physx, digital vibrance and it feels weird having ati cards when almost every game you play says "plays best on nvidia" during startup.

I WANT AN M11x! ITS OUT!! but its not in singapore YET as usual -.- and the m17x r2 isnt in asia yet either.. what the fuck man..

ps: back to using my old deathadder since my dad offered to exchange the mamba for me so tat i dont have to go all the way down to ban leong which is in eunos and sadly inaccessible. so i have to wait until he finds time(which is prolly next week-.-). the massive dpi drop and flattened buttons are killing meeeeeee!!!

swim? i walk on water

2010-01-29T21:52:00.006+08:00

1 project down and about 4 more to go. progress? 0%

i really need to get myself a smaller laptop. im so tired of lugging 10kg every morning at
6am. people say if you carry heavy stuff for long periods, youll get used to it.. bull shit lor. i carry almost 3 years already and each day it gets heavier and heavier as though time has mass and as the days go by and the calender dates increase, so does my bag weight.

but that hasnt caused an increase in the size of my muscles at all.

today, i shall promote a game!

mass effect 2 takes place after the first mass effect game(duh). shepard is shot down and revived!

overall graphics = not bad + nice effects
overall story plot = excellent!

basically its one of the rare rpg games that i dont get bored with in about 20 minutes. and i spent more time on it on dragon age and i felt more addicted to it than dragon age so hell yea it gets the

omfgwtfimbalness seal of approval

its a must try game and dont worry if you havent played mass effect 1 because there are speech options to get the history of what happened when there are references made to events which happened in mass effect 1.

bioshock 2 comes out in about 12 days. that also happens to be the chinese new year period. guess you know what ill be doing while visiting/being visited ^^

theres no destiny when everyone's your enemy

night falls and im running in circles

2010-01-22T16:00:00.003+08:00

result of :
mc + really sick + creation of cb face group + extreme boredom

deep down, its getting hard to breathe

2010-01-21T12:45:00.003+08:00

lalala mc for 2 days haha.

sad part is that im really sick so i cant exactly do what i want during this 2 days.

anyway, jia hui decided to draw a mind map of gibson and i decided to improve on it given that im really bored. no offense zibben zheng!

this is the one jia hui drew

this is mine

i'd like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly

have you ever had headaches so bad that you feel that your brain is actually a giant black hole and your skull is being sucked inwards by it and the pressure is so high that your nose bleeds and you get the feeling this must be what it feels like to be 20 000 leagues under the sea without captain nemo and you are on the exterior of the Nautilus?

im experiencing it right now and i can tell you it feels real good.. not.

i dont know why this headache surfaced suddenly but i sure as hell dont like it.

it could be due to emotional stress which i accidentally brought upon myself since emotional stress usually causes more problems than mental and physical stress combined. of course if your mental stress is due to having to create a cure for aids in 2 days or you'll get your testicles sawed off by a retarded old fag holding a blunt rusty musical saw, it might cause more implications than just a major headache.

core i7s and 5870s in crossfire are now available for the alienware M17x. that promises at least a 20% increase in performance over my current specs. which also means that i no longer have the fastestestest lagtop in the universe in terms of specs and that makes me unhappy.

thankfully singapore is extremely slow when it comes to technology and it would probably take about 4-6 months before the i7 models reach sg so i would still have the fastestestest lagtop in sg in terms of specs for another 4 months. either way im unhappy =(

if it DOES take 4 months for the i7s to reach sg, it would also mean that the m11x would take longer-.- and thats bad as well cos i want it asap. suddenly asus laptops are looking rather attractive

blood is flowing down from my nose into my mouth now, im gona try and drink it all up so that hopefully ill sprout fangs and live forever. just joking, id like to live forever though.

2010-01-17T22:35:00.001+08:00

school starts in about 10 hours. fuck this shit

id be lonely if you werent so proud

2010-01-17T00:00:00.003+08:00

Dear Diary,

I feel massively fucked up. I spent more than a thousand bucks of my parent's money today. About a quarter was spent on booking my driving practical test, about 800 for a new pair of specs and the rest on t shirts, a belt and other clothes.

Though they dint say a thing, i feel awkwardly undeserving. If i had a kid who is barely scrapping through school and constantly having violent verbal wars with me, id never let him/her spent so much in 4 hours. Especially if it was MY money.

I have no idea how i can repay them, even in the future, when im a working adult.

I feel like a fucked up kid with no prospects and would end up getting screwed by society. And as much as i hate to admit it, i know that as much as i hate and have murderous intent against them sometimes, they would willingly give their lives or more if it were humanely possible for me. Sigh Parental love.. I probably will never understand it. Why? Because I fucking hate kids

empty wallet... i haz it!

2010-01-08T22:15:00.003+08:00

for the first time EEEVVEERR my wallet has less than 10 dollars(not counting emergency spare cash)

this is the first time ive spent more than my weekly allowance of 50 dollars plus what ever extra i already have. that sums up to 70-80 dollars. how the fuck did i spend 80 fucking dollars this week? no fucking the ideas.

im guessing the stupid taxi ride from my home to school in a mercedes benz cab must have had something to do with the missing chunk of cash. the trip cost 25 bucks and i did it only because i didnt want to be late for the very first c programming lecture so that i wouldnt be so fucking lost during practicals. however it turns out that i got there too early in a cab and ended up waiting like a retard. oh and the lecture started late as well. so much for punctuality

beyond that, i do not know where the rest went considering i only cabbed home from the mrt station twice this week compared to the usual 3-4 times and those days i still had about 20 bucks left over at the end of the week.

money money money... cash cash cash....

speaking of cash, i dont think i can resist spending the money i reserved to buy a car to get a small alienware laptop

THE M11x

(final specs still unknown)
unveiled in CES 2010, which is currently still ongoing, the 11.6 inch alienware m11x spots a core 2 processor, 1gb gt335M nvidia graphics and has the same design as the m17x/m15x!

claims to be able to play call of duty modern warfare 2 at HD resolutions (in this case its 1024x768 i think) @ 30+fps!

it also comes with an integrated graphics card as well for power savings and up to 6.5hrs of battery life! on the discrete gpu, battery life is up to 3 hours of gaming! cool shitz..

supposed to be selling at <$1000 but im guessing thats in USD so itll prolly cost 1.5k here in sg IF it ever reaches sg.

only problem i have is the stupid processor probably being an ultra low voltage 1.3ghz core 2 duo and the smallish screen size and the price.

There goes my car fund... consumer gadgets are a bitch

unless of course, i get the m11x for my birthday ^^(hint hint). co-oping with my parents to get it for me might be a good idea as well(hint hint ^^)

back to the point. I NEED MONEEEEHH

a rant-ful post

2010-01-02T23:32:00.002+08:00

i know its relatively rare of me to rant and whine about anything but i feel that if i dont rant about this i might develop internal combustion and set myself on fire with my rage.

i went to Minori tanjong katong branch with my family this evening for dinner and it turned out to be a massive shit faced experience.

booked a table for ala carte buffet at 7.30. i got there at around 7.40 and it took about 10 minutes before the waitress gave us menus ONLY after we requested for them.

On the first order, i was informed that sushi,handrolls and anything related to raw dishes would take 45minutes to 1 hour to be served. i was like what the fuck but alright since theres time.

orders were mixed up and many dishes were missing, portions were amazingly small. we literally had 3 pieces of 5 cm saba teriyaki fish. that gives us 1 5cm piece per person. and that took about 25 minutes to arrive.

at 9.30, almost 75% of all the dishes we ordered have not been served and the waitress was already walking around taking last orders. the sushi and handrolls i ordered have also not been served(its been over an hour)

i crammed about 10 items into the last order and guess what? 15 minutes later the waitress comes back and tells me to re write down my sushi and handroll orders(she dint say why but i guess she's lost em for some reason). at about 10pm she comes back with the last order paper and my sushi and handroll order paper and tells me that i need to just choose 3 items because they are closing and there are too many orders.

at that point i was debating with myself whether i should appear indifferent or flare up and ask to see the manager or something but i stuck to being indifferent and stared coldly at the manager at the bill counter for the rest of the night.

so i chose 3 handrolls and was told i had to wait another 20 minutes at least. cool shit right?

at about 10.10 another waitress comes over and say THEY ARE OUT OF RICE SO IF I STILL WANT MY HANDROLLS I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COOK MORE AND MAKE THE HANDROLLS. being hungrier than i was before i entered the restaurant, i had no fucking choice considering i was paying 31 bucks for this shit and leaving before having the handrolls wouldnt do me any good so i chose to wait.

finally the handrolls came at around 10.40.

so all in all almost 80% of the food ordered was cancelled and i still feel hungrier than i was before i entered the restaurant.

i have no idea what the fuck's up with that restaurant but i guess they wont last long if they keep this up. almost every patron was pissed off tonight and im pretty sure they arent gona come back a 2nd time unless theres a really huge promotion or something.

i definitely wouldnt.

just a random thought, why are ah lians so buangz nowadays? despite being too crude for liking, they used to be a relatively desirable species based on looks. now all you can find on the streets are those who seem highly mulnutritioned and unable to string a proper sentence with words that arent considered vulgar.

thats especially irritating when they also use vulgarities pointlessly. their favourite human part also seem to be their vaginas judging from the way they always say "chee bye" followed by something else even if it makes no sense. for example, chee bye hot sia. literally translated, it means vagina hot. sense made.. none

my parents still owe me seven thousand dollars and they refuse to put it into my posb account because they claim that whatever bank they have my money in has more interest and would rather keep it there since i dont need that sum of money. that denies me from having a nice looking figure in my bank book. also, that also probably means i couldnt touch the money so i cant use it to buy myself a car.

i wish i could afford a car. id buy myself one for my birthday and tie a huge ribbon around it and put a card saying happy birthday Reuben and From Reuben at the bottom.

i am going crazy with school starting and all those incomplete assignments. i can stare at a particular assignment for hours and not know where to begin. good fucking game

new ears dae eve

2009-12-31T12:20:00.001+08:00

its time to declare your new year resolutions.

and my new year resolution is

1920 X 1200

whats yours?

keep your feet on the ground, when your head's in the clouds

2009-12-28T20:15:00.002+08:00

ho ho ho ass wipes, how does it feel to be in school a week earlier than usual eh tp people?

in fact i spent my day in school as well because gibson called for a project meeting cos its serious bizness. hes now at a 2 guy sleep over party. i know what it sounds like but gibson insists that it isnt all what it seems to be. id like to scream the word which starts with a G which coincidentally isnt his name.

i also found out wireless sg sucks balls because it gives me 2 second delay when attempting to defend the ancients.

the "half" class gathering on boxing day was kinda fun despite not having a midnight lan gaming session. i went all so prepared with a razer mamba and a razer kabuto. i say half class gathering because there was literally only about 20 people present. and wen ying is just so full of win!

i feel that i shouldnt have been so mean with wen ying. i mean after all, hes my idol! i regret saying that if iq were o level points, he'd be in an elite jc right now. (for those with iq levels equivalent to any tertiary admission cut off points, i will attempt to explain my insult. for GCE O level results, the lower your points, the better your score is. so if you have extremely few points, eg:5 you would qualify for good schools like elite jay cees. hence if your iq level is equivalent to o level points which allow you to enter elite jcs, you are, a retard) because he kinda lacked basic common sense when playing cheat.

i also think the insult makes no sense if taken literally. a human being would cease to function if his iq was below 40-50. hence if wen ying had an intellectual quotient of about 5, his brains would not be able to tell his heart to pump, his lungs to breath or his eyes to open. he would cease to exist! insults aside, i still lurve wen ying. and if your reading this wen ying, your lumber huan in moi hartz. im not gay though, you might want to try keith if you'd like someone to poke before your epic soccer matches.

watched sherlock holmes and avatar. avatar was the first movie that ive watch in 3d. my verdict about 3d is that it makes the movie more immersive but it also creates some major discomforts especially to those wearing glasses since the 3d glasses overlaps and feels weird on the nose bridge. not to mention 3d makes the stuff on the screen a little off focus. i noticed that the objects are not sharp and its really hard to focus on something because its kinda blurred.

sherlock holmes was okay on the whole, relatively ok story plot with a little dry humour. what i think is rather lame is that the movie portrays sherlock holmes's analytical skills rather literally. rachel mcadams was hawt though so thumbs up!

christmas was quite shit cos i got aftershave as a present from my mom's friend and the relatively attractive australian girl i met last year at his's house dint show up this year T.T

its almost the end of the year and all i can say is, WHOA!

it really seems like it was just a week ago that i went for my poly orientation and made 0 friends during orientation. it also feels like yesterday that i first went to class and everyone who saw my laptop either thought i was a damned retard for bringing a 10 year old fat thick laptop to school or an arrogant fuckface that would probably be a pain in the ass.

well since gamespot has this game of the year 2009 article going on, im going to give my 2 cents.. or rather 200000 dollars worth (of opinion) on the best games+movies this year.

of course the games im going to talk about would definitely be constricted to pc games since i do not own consoles nor do i want to support consoles.

the few contenders of the game of the year title for me would be

batman: arkham asylum
call of dooooootee:Modern warfare 2
dragon age origins
the saboteur
star ~~whores~~i mean wars: the force unleashed ultimate sith edition
~~teletubbies save the world by hugging trees~~
street fighter 4(pc)

the contenders of muvee of teh year are

~~trannies 2~~ transformers 2 : revenge of the fallen
Avatar
underworld : rise of teh ~~woof woofs~~lycans
knowing
2012
crank 2
~~lesbian vampire killers LOL!~~
sexmen origeens:wolverine
star trek
angels and demons
terminator salvation

alright there are hell loads more but im too fucking lazy to list em all. but new moon is DEFINITELY not in the list so get teh fark out twilight whores!

since there are so many contenders i dont think its fair to only have one winner =O

for games, id give the title to
batman arkham asylum & call of duty modern warfare 2

for movies id say

avatar wins for its concept and story

transformers win for megan fox only ^^

then youd ask if its for megan fox only why jennifers body nv win? cos the story is so crap and lame not even megan fox can save it

i take what i said about dragon age back. its actually quite fun. i gave it a chance during my free time during the past 2 weeks and i must say its quite irritating yet addictive. the travelling and conversations are irritating but the story line is really intriguing.

school is starting next week. that sux balls. so many assignments are still untouched. i think i need to buy some answers!

you feed the lies but your mind isnt open

2009-12-22T12:25:00.003+08:00

i never thought id ever ever ever ever ever ever X 99999999999999999999999999999 consider buying Team Fortress 2. But after trying it out for about 4 hours, i decided to make the purchase.

I also achieved what keith couldnt do in 3 years in 1 day. Actually it was about 3 hours.

I managed to get the entire gang except sean to buy tf2. sean would probably have bought it as well if he was in singapore at the time thanks to me excellent force persuade skills.

Your minds are weak. just joking

christmas is coming and once again i will get no present because no one gives a shit about me. I havent received a proper christmas present since i was in primary school. In fact, it was like primary 3.

when i meant proper christmas present i dont mean it has to be a playstation or whatever but obviously if someone wraps up a used photoframe/mug/paperweight it doesnt fucking count as proper does it?

come to think of it, this year was the first year ive gotten birthday presents in ages since i havent received a birthday present since primary school as well. life's good really..

but instead of presents i get birthday treats so i guess its fine. unfortunately its not fine on my parents side since i noticed that other people get birthday treats(dinner) AND cool gifts like an ipod(not that i want one) or like a laptop or something. id like a fucking light weight laptop please?

i guess i could fool myself into thinking the mamba is a self bought christmas present but its a failed purchase so i dont know what to think. id feel happier if i could sell it off and get an imperator instead.

maybe i could buy myself a lighter laptop as a self bought birthday present and get high all over because i really cannot cannot cannot picture myself bringing my current 'laptop'(if u can call it that) for internship.

or i could just try and purchsae guns just in case i get advanced java for my elective. that way i could shoot myself in the head on my birthday. then my death certificate would look really nice. date of birth: 14/04/1991 deceased date: 14/04/2010

actually, they might take a little too long to pronounce me dead and the date would be off. i have no idea why paramedics take so long to pronounce people dead. even if they walk into the scene and the victim's brains are all over the walls and their intestines are on the ceiling fan and their eyeballs have become the dog's favourite toy.

notice those murder/accident news headlines? victim was believed to have been killed in xxam/pm and was discovered by paramedics at (sometime a few hours later)and pronounced dead at least 20 mins after being discovered by paramedics.

if you see some guy with his intestines detached and on the ceiling fan do you still think he has a chance to survive? do you need to use a defibrillator and try to revive him? or do you stand there chanting and casting some revival spell in hopes of him respawning and then after 10 mins you realise, oh! im not playing WOW/maple/w/e mmorpg and revive doesnt work! then pronounce him dead.

dead people aside, i think this holiday is shit. it isnt even a holiday considering the number of assignments due. not that i give a fuck about them but apparently teachers do give a fuck and in order to pass the modules i have to try and give a little bit of a fuck and do the assignments or id get fucked.

i dont hate apple and its products, i hate the fucking shallow minded fanboys

i own 2 ipods and i dont feel smug or above the rest. unfortunately, several people i know who own a mac/iphone/ipod touch seem to feel they are a cut above the rest.

youve built up world of magic, because your real life is tragic

2009-12-14T19:44:00.002+08:00

I guess I was overzealous in complaining about my mamba. it actually has some cool features though im sure the newer mice would also have them.

the driver has this feature which allows you to set custom profiles for each application.

the old mice only had 5 profiles max and had to be switched by the profile switch button on the base of the mouse or by the configurator.

In the mamba's case, I can set many many profiles for different applications for eg warcraft and call of duty etc etc and everytime i launch the apps, the profile loads and ill have specific customised macros and dpi settings for each game. eg: macros for wc are the keypad hotkeys and 3k dpi while cod's macros are melee and sprint and 4k dpi etc etc etc.

I havent figured out how to make it return to default profile when i close the applications though. they seem to trigger only when a specific executable is launched hence going back to desktop wouldnt trigger any executables.

battery life is becoming more satisfactory for some reason.I drained the charge yesterday night and charged it over night and today, 5 hours of gaming usage still leaves me with 2 bars of battery life.

that aside, i feel that this holiday is going to be real crap. considering the number of assignments due JUST AFTER the holidays end and my extremely packed driving lesson schedules.

marry me, bury me, I am finished with you

2009-12-13T15:56:00.007+08:00

I always seem to have regrets whenever I purchase stuff. Especially if Ive been wanting the thing for a long time. The longer Ive wanted it, the larger the regret.

The things I buy just dont turn out the way I expected them to be.

The razer mamba is some sort of a technological breakthrough and a rip-off piece of shit.

While its the first wireless mouse Ive tried out that totally has no lag/delay/inaccurate movements that normal wireless mice have, its totally retarded as a wireless mouse to me.

Why? because the fucking wireless receiver is not a dongle that usual wireless mice have but its the fucking DOCKING STATION which is almost half the size of the mouse. Which means to use the mouse WIRELESSLY, I have to connect the USB CABLE to the DOCKING STATION because the mouse has to pair with the docking station. HOW WIRELESS IS THAT? Just because the wire doesnt connect directly to the dumb mouse its called wireless. woo hoo!

see the size of the stupid docking station? totally not how I want it to be. I expected it to be a small little dongle that makes the mouse portable like the orochi.

Also, at 5.6k dpi, i dont feel much difference from the 1.8k dpi on my deathadder.

Finally, the mamba lacks lighting on the razer logo -.- the logo has no lights at all! its prolly the first razer mouse to not have a lighted pulsating logo. That makes the damn mouse so pirated looking

apart from all that shit, it feels just like a death adder with 2 more buttons and rubber grips for the thumb rather than plastic on the death adder. The side buttons also have 'rubber coatings' which doesnt make it look/feel all plasticky.

The mamba driver is a sad bitch. It lags and takes ages to read/write to the onboard razer synapse memory(no fucking idea why they named it that) on both wired and wireless modes.

All in all, the razer mamba is suitable for people who want a wireless gaming mouse not because its portable, but because they dont want wire clutter around their table cos they can put the docking station somewhere else like on the cpu or somewhr else within 1 m range of the mouse to avoid clutter. Or you could just want to own a pirated looking razer mouse. I feel so retarded having a mouse that can work wirelessly but Ill probably be using it wired most of the time and only using it wirelessly just for fun at home -.-

should have just bought a bloody imperator or the new deathadder....

PS: the battery life is a bigger bitch. Razer promised 72 hours of casual gaming and 14hr of intense gaming. Ive been using it for browsing the web and watching videos for 1.5hrs(during which i dont even touch it and it automatically turns off after about 1 minute of inactivity so watching videos shouldnt even count as it being on) for only about 4 hours and one out of three bars of battery life has been depleted. great stuff!

2009-12-11T00:12:00.001+08:00

not really how i expected it to be but oh well...

how can you expect me to just close my eyes and forget your mistakes

2009-11-30T21:08:00.007+08:00

Random conversation(word for word as I recall it) that occured 2 weeks ago during an ethical hacking lesson...

Adam: eh boring sia.. why why I want to go and choose this course(DISM) ah?

Me: eh how I know sia you ask me this kind of question.. actually.. I also dunno why I chose this course lei.. why ar?

Adam: should have gone some other course X.X now I regret T.T

Me: ya lor wtf sia this course.. I regretted choosing this course on the very first day of year 1 sem 1... seriously..

Kevin: I know why(cos he thinks its becos this course no gerlz but alot of perls) ^.^

Me: no la not becos of that la..

some other guy I cant remember who: cos got java right!

Junxuan from across the room: JAVA ROX

Me: fuck yea!(to jx)

and Gibson was like WHY? DISM ROX WAD SO FUN SO COOL SO SEXCITING AND EROTIC

AND(w/e makes him sleep soundly at night)...

Reuben rikes diz conversation

so i bought l4d 2 (reft four ded too) on the day it launched (17th nov) and even before I opened the package I already felt like I had wasted the 58 bucks I spent on it -.-

with that said im probably never ever going to purchase a game that requires steam EVER again unless its command and conquer 4: tiberium twilight cos I love that series. But I doubt cnc4 will require steam. steam sucks. big fucking ass time.

Oh and my xps 1730 got collected last monday..

RIP xps1730... 19th march 2008 - 23 nov 2009

did some random cpu ocing during the last ethical hacking session(which was last monday).. i seem to always have the mood to benchmark/oc during ethical hacking lessons.. must be because its a bloody 3 hour lab session and im always bored to death..

got my processors to 3.3ghz for about 5 minutes before it bsoded and up to 3.36ghz for over 10 mins but it bsoded during a 3dmark vantage run. finally stabilized it at 3.251ghz(28% oc) and ran a 3dmarkvantage benchmark with the graphics cards oced to the usual 625/1000/1550 and got

13K 3dmarks!!

Ill try for 3.3 stable or 3.4 stable next time I get the mood to do it

am i a deployable expendable?

2009-11-16T20:39:00.004+08:00

yea im still a kid though im colder

2009-11-12T22:25:00.008+08:00

broke my own record again! this time by about 600 points!

qx9300@ 3.1ghz
gtx280s@ core 625 mem 1000 shaders 1550 ftw!

dint have time to do 3dmark 06 with the same settings but i think ill be doing it soon.

lifes been preety dull now that school seems to be taking up the entire day, everyday. when i reach home on a monday, i feel drained and near dead. by friday, i AM dead. my brain is so dead that i can hardly string words together to form proper sentences to convey messages across. i even had problems typing a proper sentence while doing a student survey thing.

the harder i try to sleep, the worse off i am. for 2 weeks now ive been trying to sleep by 10pm-11pm but i only go into a light sleep at around 12-1am everyday. i get only about 3 hours deep sleep and the rest is the kind of sleep that really does more harm than good.

my body sleeps but my mind stays concious. im fucked, real bad.

if this goes on i think ill die.

why does everyone want to act like they care? if people actually gave a fuck about people who need seats in the mrt, there wouldnt even be a need for the stupid priority seat signs in the first place.

so stop fucking acting like you give a shit. your just jealous you dont have a seat and your desperate to see the person in it give it up.

i hate inspirational/motivational speeches/videos/articles.

they often end/start with, what are you doing with your life? or are you happy with your life? or some shit like that.

what am i doing with my life? im trying my fucking best to do what ever i like because ill probably only live about 600 000 hours.

whining aside, november is the time when good games launch! from dragon age to modern warfare 2 to l4d 2!

modern warfare 2 is quite over hyped. teh trailers made it look so dam cool but after playing the campaign, i just have 1 thing to say. what the fuck?

its overly dramatic and most of all the blood is really irritating. the graphics is almost the same as cod 4 modern warfare except now it has lots of dynamic particles. the blood is also like ketchup. it covers my screen entirely when i get shot at and i cant see shit. (this is probably one good reason why having high detail is bad.)

it also appears to be like a bad port seeing that the graphics setting has become really limited and best of all, IT HAS NO DUAL GPU SUPPORT! cod 2 which came out soooooooooo dam long ago HAS dual gpu support and now, in 2009, cod 6/modern warfare, by infinity ward, HAS NO MULTI GPU SUPPORT! thats just aaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeesum.

we should all go back to dos games.

dragon age is another let down. i played it for about 10 minutes and gave up.

the reason? the trailer cheat moi feelings T.T.

it had hot hot hot hot hot hot female characters in extremely skimpy clothing running around casting spells in epic battles looking all so seductive.

and it turns out, i dont get to play or EVEN SEE the hot hot hot hot hot hot female characters. the NPC characters looks a hell load better than my character and my character wears so much clothes id be thinking what? is it a hundred degrees below zero in here? if i saw her on the streets.

l4d 2 demo seems alright. but thats the bad part. l4d 1 demo sold me and i bought the game and regretted. im now considering whether to buy l4d 2 becos i dont wana get scammed by valve again.

star wars the force unleashed is probably the most fun game so far that has been released in november. why? because using force powers to throw people into the sky and force pushing them off cliffs is really fun.

im hungry. im gona eat some beeef pieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

2009-10-28T20:50:00.002+08:00

its the 3rd day of the 2nd week and it feels like this term is already nearing its end. i have made 0 attempts to pay attention in class and the lecturers have made 0 attempts to engage the class.

i have no idea what state the person who came out with our timetable was in when he drafted the timetables because it seems like he might have had about a 100 shots too many. Seriously, 4 hour breaks between lessons? starting at 8 am in the fucking morning 4 days a week? ending at 5pm 4 days a week? what the fuck man.

i just got asked today if i was filthy rich. what a phrase! i find it so amusing. how on earth is it possible to be filthy rich? does it describe a person who bathes in cash and hence is filthy because of all the germs on the bills?(yes, money is one of the most dirt-filled bacteria infested objects in the world) or is he smelly because he smells of cash?

gibson doesnt know what a rickroll is supposed to convey. actuallys, i haz no ideas either.. its just for fun la..

dell's epic stun to churn out ddr5 4870s for the alienware m17x just got screwed! apparently they advertised that their 4870s were ddr5 so LOTS OF PEOPLE LITERALLY SOLD their gtx 280 sli m17xes on ebay for INSANELY CHEAP PRICES(i mean it) and ordered the AMAZING 2x4870 2gb ddr5 crossfire m17xes.

guess what happened when they received it? ITS DDR3 MEMORY LOL! i hope dell gets sued really..

oh well i guess i should still be content owning the fastest laptop in the universe =) now to move on to the fastest desktop in the universe! haha just joking. id prolly be getting a new mouse though. my stupid teflon paddings are wearing off. im deciding whether to just stop using my mouse and keep it as a collector's item since it IS a special edition one and i <3 cnc3.

i really wished that having an education wasnt so important. studying is such a waste of time. an average singaporean wastes about 21 years or more on education. males graduate later thanks to the lovely " i love my amazing country" scheme called national service where every one with a tube looking organ between their legs have to be enlisted and tortured to enhance their genital size.

i understand that general knowledge and common sense is necessary and that many people lack basic common sense and knowledge like javiour saying 1 kg of metal is heavier than 1 kg of feathers. yes we all need some basic foundation but we dont need 20 years of crappy school where we are taught by appallingly sub-standard teachers.

Compulsory education is the beginning of the fall of an empire. thats what i believe. in today's modern world, education only serves one general purpose. creating jobs. lots and lots and lots and lots x999999999^999999 of people become teachers because teaching, is a solid career. its the type of job that some people describe as having an iron rice bowl. which makes me think why the fuck would you want to eat rice from an iron rice bowl or even want to put rice into an iron bowl considering iron oxidizes and rusts therefore you would be consuming your fragrant grains with rust complimenting it. I also wonder who the fuck would be stupid enough to manufacture iron rice bowls but thats another story.

people from various industries turn to teaching upon being retrentched or simply switch jobs to become a teacher because of the following reasons. education will never be stopped,removed and most importantly, it will never ever be unnecessary. therefore being a teacher means you'll always keep your job. the only challenge then would be sucking some higherup balls and getting a promotion.

naturally, schools(polys/unis) except applicants who have the required certification and industrial experience thinking," wow these people sure can teach laaaaa work so long liao teaching kids about what they do sure no problem one lah! besides, he sucked me off!"

unfortunately, no matter how many orgasms they can induce from their employers, they may not necessarily be good teachers/lecturers whatevertehfarkyouwantstocallit.

im really disappointed to see that schools fail to realize that not everyone can teach. some people just cant teach even if their lives depended on it. yet due to the shortage of teachers(for some reason they magically disappear and the good ones usually never stay) they hire anyone that signs up.

hence with shit teachers, come shit results and therefore the world collapses becos nerds who pia textbooks and wikipedia will not have shit results and normal people who go omfgwtfistheteachertalkingabout and end up sleeping in class will get shit results. this will cause massive elitism problems because the industry only hires the most "qualified" which means who has the most As get the job and not who can do the job better.

Also, id like a chesse burger NAO!!

This just came today.. weee heeeeeeeeeeeee

not sure when im going to install it though.. i think ive had enough of windows installations. maybe ill try an upgrade. ive never done it before.. but im afraid of corrupted shit

eternal youth is the landscape of a lie

first day of the semester is so full of shit.

waited 4 hours for a 1 hour lesson and apparently the lecturer prolly asked himself "hey wouldnt it be fun to not show up after my students have waited 4 hours for my lesson?" and then he decided that it WOULD be really fun

fists have probably never made contact with his face before

massive balls of fire.. my win 7 appears to be insanely corrupt. i guess optimizing win 7 isnt the same as optimizing vista.. apparently i corrupted essential system files like the stupid remote access connection manager and now i cant use a mobile broadband modem and im having problems connecting to spwireless.

my drivers are also UNuninstallable cos when i try to uninstall them it says temp installer file not found. which is no suprise cos i practically emptied my ENTIRE temp folder to 'optimise' disk space.

my conclusion is, win 7 isnt very smart. it cant stop a crazy benchmarker like me from deleteing essential files. now i have to do a self debate(sounds autistic) on whether to reformat the whole dam system all over again.

people seem to categorize/call people who play video games as gamers.. thats really.... awkward. some people actually call themselves gamers.. i have no idea why but wouldnt like being called a gamer. it feels wierd. and for the record, im a pc enthusiast not a gamer. im a benchmarker. i do enjoy gaming as much but mainly its all about the highest fpses and benchmark scores

talking about computers, IM SILL SELLING MY 2 sticks of 2gb ddr 2 667mhz laptop ram(free installation if i know you and youll bring your laptop to me)

a lecturer said today, that god gave us 2 ears and 1 mouth. the reason is to listen more and speak only when spoken to/when necessary.

besides being cliche, i find it quite disturbing. if everyone had such a mindset, revolutions would never had happened and the world would not be what it is today.

the people/revolutionaries who spoke out in anger/disagreement/protest are the reason we have advancements in technology, mindset and lifestyle and whatnot

last minute time table changes have got to be the biggest bullshit of the entire school system. after looking at the time table on friday thinking it was final, i booked a hell lot of driving lessons on fridays all the way up to dec and then suddenly POOOOOOOOF! there are lessons that collide with my driving lessons. amazingly fucked up gov sponsored school system 1 : poor little school boy me 0
