Next block, starting from 1st October: Film Language from 12 to 3 and Video Editing from 6 to 9. All I can say about this combination and "selection" of modules is...

...WTF.

Today was a real fun day because we celebrated Yumi Pong's birthday! First I met Fiona, Mark, Nick and Kong at Bedok Interchange in the afternoon and had our lunch there (I must say I really missed the fried carrot cake there...man it really brought back memories...haha). After eating we went over to where Froggy, Hafiz and Rino were and we took bus 40 to Matt's house. There, we prepared the surprise for Yumi. We blew tons of helium balloons and scattered them all over the room. We then waited for Yumi to come, then gave her a big popping surprise! We gave then her our birthday presents (I drew her a picture of Jack Skellington). After a lot of crazing around with balloons, we started going high on helium! I sucked in a lot and was very amazed with my high donald ducky voice (yeah this was my first time sucking in helium so I'm not sure if it's harmful)

After all the craziness, we went to Cold Storage to get the stuffs for bbq, then headed over to East Coast Park. It was a very long walk, and it was already 6 plus when we went there. Anyways we got ready for the bbq and started cooking away~

For the first time I ate a lot for the bbq. There were ham, hotdogs, chicken wings and so much more! I got kinda full after eating a number of chicken wings. I guess it was because of the drinks though. Ah well.

Oh yeah, Yumi gave me a porn calendar for next year. Haha.

Today was a very fun day! I went to school at 12 to help Froggy with some recording, but she only arrived at 1.30 o_o anyway Nina came along as well. I was recording "Butterfly" before they came so my throat wasn't already in a good condition. We started off with dancing the Hare Hare Yukai Dance (Froggy always does that whenever we're in the audio room XD) We managed to teach Nina some of the important parts of the dance so we can all dance during the Hare Hare Yukai dance session with Zen, Wayne, and maybe some other people another day.

We went crazy with all the recordings, the most time taken by "Butterfly". We decided to do a trio version of it and split the song up into different parts so all of us have a fair share of the song. It went quite well, and we were all pleased with the outcome! Since we're all crazy people (XD), we used my handphone to record our so called "MTV" (unfortunately we couldn't edit anything because apparently I lost my After Effects to a spyware and Windows Movie Makes does not accept 3GP files). Like always, we all had a lot of fun. XD

After recording, we went home. I reached home only at about 8 plus and bathed and had dinner. I then started recording my own verion of "Butterfly" and I was more or less pleased with the outcome as well. =)

Oh gosh, now I'm addicted to "Butterfly" XD

Yesterday was Sunday, which was the day for Terry Fox Run! I had to wake up early because we had to meet at 6. So I woke up at 4 and got ready and left the house at 5. Because there is no MRT or bus at 5, I took a taxi with Rino and Terence and went straight for VivoCity. It was raining even before we got there and taxi fare was $28.80!!! Even though each of us paid $10, I could still feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. I mean, man...that's a real lot of money...

So anyway, we reached VivoCity and then Sentosa at 7.30. We got to our destination and stood there while the runners ran past us. At first we were standing like trees by the roadside, clapping as they ran by. After a while, we got bored and started to Hi-five them XD. Oh yeah, did I mention that the food that Regent Hotel provided sucks? There was the cold and dry bee hoon, a horrible-tasting energy drink, a much better orange juice, and a slice of cake which is practically the best food in the package, and a non-eaten apple. Yeah, the breakfast was horrible, and I went home with an almost empty stomach.

Anyway, moving on to today, I went to the temple with my sis today for prayers. After praying, we went home for some piping hot vegetarian porridge and a cute dumpling. Well, nothing much happened today, other than the fact that I finished recording "Aerial" and my part for "Dreams". Hm...I wonder...

I went lan-gaming with Kong, Mark, Nick, Ben, Rino and Haris at Paradiz today. It was really really fun! In fact, it's the most fun lan-gaming session I've ever had in my life! Although we played only Counter Strike for three whole hours, it was filled with A LOT of laughing!!! Halfway through playing, we started in a map with a lot of Artic sniper rifles, and that's our only weapon for the map. The objective is to shoot each other down (duh). The thing is, Kong topped this game with 100 frags at first, so we all decided to kill him off first. Mark decided to rename himself as "Target_sotong", then came things like "eatsotong" and my "KILL SOTONG". After a while, Nick changed his name to "Naomi" and we laughed while playing (in fact we laughed all the 3 hours). Following that, the whole terrorist team changed their names to something that resembles "kill naomi". After that, the naming thing went haywire with craziness as names like "chickenchop, chickencutlet, Jupiter Uncle, shahul, MUTHU, bangla" and a lot more crazier names came up. I laughed my ass off until my stomach hurts like hell and I almost couldn't play anymore! It was really hilarious! Although the 3 hours cost $6, it was really worth it.

We went to McDonald's for lunch later (Haris and Rino were fasting so they went off somewhere else to look around). After lunch, it was back to school because of the meeting for this Sunday's Terry Fox Run. Man, I have to reach the carpark opposite VivoCity at 6!!! I'm soooo gonna fall asleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

YEAHHH!!!!! PCOMD AND DESTI1 IS FINALLY OVER!!! IT'S FINALLY THE HOLIDAYS!!! I CAN FINALLY SLACK!!!!!!!!!!!!

...or can I? I have to work on Project Delta soon, I've taken a break from it from too long!!! >.< The sad thing about it is that I don't have anything to work on, and I have absolutely no inspirations or anything to start working. Ah well, since my holidays is two weeks long, I'm sure I can meet up with Chee Yuen one day to carry on with the discussion.

I got two spare DS Lite styli yesterday! It's thicker and much easier to hold that the DS styli and I love it! Now I can finally played touch-screen games on my DS without damaging the touch screen! One bad thing though: my touch screen is wayyyyyy off calibration and trying to calibrate it is impossible. I guess I'll have to get a DS Lite after all...

Two weeks of holidays...I wonder what I can do...?

10:26 PM

YES!!! After a long struggle, my PcomD and DesTi1 is finally over! Of course, I submitted the DesTi1 assignment early so that doesn't really count XD but hey, I now have nothing much to do! Rejoice! =D

Today marks the beginning of the month of Ramadan, the month where all Muslims fast and, in a sense, "turn holy". Lol. I'm wondering if I should fast along with my classmates since it's:

1. A good way to save money
2. A good way to lose weight
3. I have nothing to do

I'll definitely go for option 1 since it's easy to accomplish, but option 2...a little hard since I get hungry REAL easily, and option 3? Forget about it XD

This Sunday is the Terry Fox Run. I've never heard of this event before. Maybe it's gonna be like the Big Walk? I don't know. Ah well, I'll find out on Friday.

Another tiring day...in fact it's always tiring...lol

I woke up at 6 again today, this time Froggy called me. O_O yeah she called me. I woke up, answered her call, hung up and fell asleep again. I only woke up at about 7 and quicky got ready. I thought I was able to reach school on time today, but goodness, was I so wrong.

There were 3 buses when I reached the bus stop. The bus at the front had so many passengers it got kinda stuck there for a while. In the end the bus at the back honked and the bus promptly left. Once I boarded the bus I thought I could sleep, but it was very cold because of the bad weather outside (rain again...sighs).

What's irritating is that there was a traffic jam!!! It took the bus about 10 minutes before it could move fast again! So yeah, I reached the interchange at 9.45 and only got on the next bus at 9.50. The trip continues, and I reached school at 9.05. I thought I was late, but Froggy was even later! She reached at about 9.15 if I'm not wrong. She even brought donuts she got from Malaysia for me as an apology XD I ate the one with the chocolate inside, it's so great! The other one was given to Guo Xiang though =)

The rest are boring stuffs so I'm not gonna bother remembering them. Gahhh so many things to do....x______x

I wanted to post this last night, but my internet was once again being a bitch on me so I had no choice but to post today. Can you imagine going on a popular website like Google and waiting for it to load for 10 minutes and in the end giving you the irritating "Webpage could not be found" page? Yes, it's REALLY irritating.

Putting my irritating internet aside, yesterday wasn't such an interesting day. It's just another boring day at home in Singapore, doing nothing but stone in front of the computer. Thank goodness I've already finished my DesTi1 blog, if not I'll be rushing through it like there's no tomorrow. But come to think of it, it still seems like there isn't enough things on it...ah whatever.

My girlfriend called me yesterday in the morning (waking me up) and asked if we could meet up. Since it was already 10 and she had to go at 2 for her tuition, I had no choice but to refuse (it would take me 1 1/2 hours to get there and most of the time we could have spent together would be wasted on traveling). She was sad, of course, but she was understanding. =) Anyway, we chatted for about 2 hours, then we hung up.

Had lunch later. Curry chicken! There's no similar curry chicken in this world that tastes nicer than my mum's home made curry chicken! The potatoes are very well done, the chicken is soft and tender and the curry itself is hot and, as we Singaporeans would say, "shiok"! I ate quite a lot (in fact, I ate it for both lunch and dinner because my mum cooked a lot) and I ate it with both rice and bread. Omg. I'm gonna get fat XD

I was supposed to go to Chin Por's house today because he wanted me to help him with the photoshoot, but turned down the offer when he said that he wanted to drop the idea "on second thoughts" and his bunkmates said that "it would be unnecessary" to pay me. I mean, c'mon, face it, you don't wanna pay me at all. You just wanna use me for cheap labour, don't you? Since you engaged me as a photographer, I should be paid, shouldn't I? So yeah, I turned down the offer, not because I'm a money-minded person, but because he just wanted to use me. Looks like I'll have to work on Rockman Delta on my own without his involvement. Better act fast...

Last night, Froggy asked me on MSN if I am good at doing line art. I said mine wasn't really that good since it looks straight and dead, but she said it was only for the background and all, and since I have some free time on my hands, I offered to help her. In about an hour's time, I finished all the 8 background art and sent it back to her. She said she was jealous that my line arting is so fast! FAST!!! I didn't even realise that! o_o

Anyway I managed to get my hands on a few games today: Taiko no Tatsujin DS: Touch de Dokodon! and One Piece: Gear Spirit! These two games are really fun and interesting! Taiko no Tatsujin DS is the DS version of the popular arcade taiko game Taiko no Tatsujin and One Piece: Gear Spirit is a fighting game fused with battle card usage! I also downloaded another DS "game" which teaches about Origami (it's more like an educator rather than a game; it makes use of all the DS utilities)

Oh yeah, I WANT A WII!!!!!!!! >.<

Today is a bad day. Definately NOT a good day.

I woke up today at 7 and promptly changed to leave the house to go to school, and realised that I forgot to wear my belt. In the end it became very uncomfortable and I had to pull up my jeans all the time. It wasn't so bad, though.

Met with Froggy in the audio room when we started to practise the song "When You're Gone" by Avril Lavigne. Yes, you might be wondering why I'm playing Avril Lavigne's song when I hate her songs so much. It's because Froggy asked for my help. She's my friend. And as for why I hate Avril Lavigne's songs so much, it's because to me, her song style is very repetitive and it gets on my nerves. But nonetheless, we had fun in the audio room. Haris came in later and joined in the fun and stared at us when we dance the Haruhi Dance. I would say that that was the best part of the day.

Then came PcomD. Syafiq was being annoying to me again (He always does, especially to me. I don't know if he has something against me or it's in his Malay blood, I don't care). During break time, Ain was talking about the same old thing again. I wanted to help her, but she insisted not by saying "can't you let me talk to Kong?" Okay fine, it's none of my business at all, but aren't we a Pham? I mean, so what if I'm just a mere useless house maid? Does that mean I have no right to know what's going on? And so yeah, I cried at the canteen. BIG DEAL. Shahul, Kong, Rino and Haris managed to calm me down though. I stopped crying just before the break ended. Thanks you guys.

After PcomD, I went to the audio room and saw Froggy still in the room with Kezia. We went down to Jupiter Cafe and had lunch there. It's so cool, all three of us ordered the same thing: Chicken Leg Pasta. I mean, that food was really great! The chicken leg is really big and very well made! For something like that for $3.80, it was really worth it. Anyway we were chatting for about 30 minutes about random stuff while waiting for our Chicken Leg Pastas to arrive and when it finally did, we started eating right away. Hey, I am a gentleman okay. I let the girls eat first. Haha.

Anyway after our lunch we went back up to the audio room. I packed up, said goodbye to them, and left for home. It was really sunny when I was at Tampines Interchange, but on my way back to Admiralty, it was raining! How could this be?! Singapore is such a small island and yet it is so easily affected by the clouds?! Anyway, yeah, it rained very heavily when I was walking home and it totally drenched part of my guitar bag, my laptop bag, my shoes and my jeans. I was super pissed off when that happened. I was almost home and I HAD to be drenched. I seriously have some issues with the rain and I really don't like it. When I get home Cookie was barking at me. In a fit of anger I shouted at it. Sigh...I'm sorry Cookie. Gor gor just wasn't in a good mood today.

Now I'm kinda calmed down, so yeah. I still hate the rain, though. Arrrrg.

I'm uploading this in school...wow how nice...

It's evening now and I'm bored. I guess that's the reason why I'm writing this entry. Lol.

I woke up at 8 today to see if Sarah's online. She said to come online that time, but apparently she wasn't online at all. I was a little disappointed because I woke slept for only 5 hours to see that my friend wasn't online...but I'm used to it since I've seen worse situations than this. Besides, I'm pretty sure she forgot. Oh well. By the way, if you're wondering who I'm talking about, I was talking about my online friend. Don't get wrong ideas arhhhh.

Anyway I reached school 15 minutes before my class starts. Whew. For a moment I thought I was gonna be late. Anyways, today's PcomD class was a bit boring because all we did was write out minutes of our previous meetings. Kong wrote all the details and it came out well (even Stella said it was good). Looks like Kong's gonna be our group's Secretary! Haha. Don't ask me why, but only recently I was "addicted" to Vitas' "7 Elements". It sounds really nice! I mean, the techno and his voice, they mix so well!



After PcomD I went with some of Da Pham to the canteen to have lunch. I ate without realising that I was already very full until I was almost finishing the food. When I get full, I'll start yawning a lot because the of the blood rush to my stomach in order to digest the food. And that was exactly what happened to me. Aw man.

We went to the 3D lab after class to do our work. April's class was on at that time so we stayed at the side quietly. Oh yeah, have I ever mentioned that my AC adaptor's wire is a bit loose and I have to spend at least 5 minutes to make sure that the light is on before it's safe to take out my battery from my laptop? I even almost burned my index finger today because I had to straighten the wire in hopes of making it work. As usual, to no avail. =(

Anyway that problem aside, I started working on DesTi exercise 4. Gawd, it was so damn hard, especially the second question, which was something about the movies and animations in the 50s. I think I'm not gonna be sleeping for more than 5 hours again...not to mention I have to go to school early tomorrow...ah well.

Alright, I repeat: I'm bored.

Dempster
7:24 PM

Man it's getting late now...I'm getting sleepy...zzzzz

It was raining like crazy today. Maybe I'm forbidden to do something again? lol. Anyway my group managed to find a client today for PcomD class: my school's Jupiter Cafe. We agreed to help out with the logo design and some more stuffs that I can't really remember. Oh yeah, the reason why I don't wanna work with THAT PERSON (everyone should know who I'm referring to) is because he has assaulted me before, be it online, real life, whatever. Why do you all think I hate him so much? It's because of all those reasons. And as for why I don't wanna tolerate when I work with him, I don't want someone to ruin my future before I even reach there. Now you all should know this and thus don't ever tell me to chill or take it easy when it comes to this topic because it's very sensitive to me.

Apart from that, I managed to fix my earpiece wire! All it took was a simple rubber band to tie the wire in place so it doesn't come off. Really, those wires have gotta be made of sterner material. If not, it will just come off like that.

My puppy's forever cute!!! It's name is Cookie and is a currently 8-months-old Shihtzu. My family (including me) suspects that it's not a pure Shihtzu because its face is not as puffy as the others do. But other than that, Cookie is still cute! I love the way it plays with its toys, it's just so adorable! My mum used to dislike dogs, but Cookie is the very exception! She even plays with it sometimes! I guess it's really fate that brought Cookie to our very house. Oh, it's walking around outside my room now as I'm typing this. Most probably to take a pee or something. Haha.

"Meo", the "oh so great internet system that provides you fast and enjoyable web surfing experience". It's all crap, I tell you, all crap. What it provides are a waste of money and a super slow internet speed. I couldn't even log in to Blogger to rant! Arrrrrgggh x_____x

On the brighter side, though, I finished my DesTi assignment! Wohoo! Now all I have to do is to just concentrate on finding a client for my PComD assignment. I think I found a suitable one, but I'm not too sure if she's willing...aw man...

Wait, why am I even blogging when there is practically nothing happening today? I guess it's because I just wanna blog to kill time...yeah, at least it's better than pissing myself off because of Mio and accomplishing nothing in the end! Stupid Mio...

I realised that I couldn't record anything today. I guess it's because I ate something spicy or heaty today that created all the phlegm in my throat. I wasn't in the mood to record anything too, since I still haven't gotten any new emails in Gmail. Aw man, not having anyone to talk to really is kinda sucky.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to upload some of the pictures I took of Syafiq, Rino, Nick, Harris and Fikry performing on Friday. The lighting's quite poor though, so forgive me for that. Here they are:









Oh yeah, mixing condensed milk with mayonnaise tastes really nice, especially with fried food =)

7:31 PM

After the influence of Design Trends, I've decided to blog again! I don't know why, but for some reason I'm starting to like blogging...gawd that's starting to freak me out o_o

Anyway yesterday was fun! We celebrated Lecturers' Day and I performed along with Hanis and Kezia! The song we performed was "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt and it went real well! Without you, I couldn't have done well too, so, thank you everyone who was involved in this performance!



I managed to take some pictures of both the lecturers and the students! Here are some of what I consider my favourites:


Everyone's excited, no? The lecturers all look like students!


A shot of most of the lecturers in my school


Apparently it was their birthday too...what a coincidence!


Yeah they want a place in the photos too...lol...and Terence, where are you looking??


I want in too! Can't I? XD And yeah, that's Kezia beside me


The cakes before our attack...they look delicious, don't they? Well to me they taste okay =O

It was really a fun day! But after all the fun, it's back to class...yeah, online class for Desti...so very the boring...not to mention that I got a lot of work to do...noooooo!!! >.<
