Heya... I have returned from my big break! Okay lah not exactly, but it was a chalet where we just lazed around the whole day (similar to the previous one) and chomped on tidbits.
Thank you to half of DGT for coming to liven up the place! Wahaha!
You see...
boys + XBox = no chance for conversation
Lalala... we had pizza and everything was goood. After that the boys returned to their violent squirrel game ( Conker) while us the girls chatted. Lots of laughter and sharp-tongued criticism at our favourite band as always! Teehee! Ohh how would we ever live without Energy!!! There would be no topic for us to curse at!
Joking lah. Don't come and scold me. If we really hate them that much, we won't be talking about them at all, would we?
My dear computer Xiao Dian has recovered from a successful surgery! Thank you Doctor Lau!
And yes, I kept my promise to juice it up. It's now running with 1GB of memory as compared to the previous 512MB.
I have more than enough RAM actually but the upgrade is to prepare for future use of a software called Maya which lets you build 3D models, like those which you see in the making of Shrek/Finding Nemo etc with the characters rotating 360 degrees. Maya takes up alot of memory (according to Weikit) and I'm not gonna let it hang with unsaved work!
NOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
*memory relapse*
Ahh and I bought a graphic tablet too. It's not a Wacom, the leading provider in such imagery hardware, but the thing works well. It has 1,024 levels of detection for pen pressure, however there is still difference in performance lah, as compared to Wacom Intuos. Not complaining since it only costs $95.
No fish, prawn also can! :)
Ehhh. Sometimes I feel very geeky talking about all these. No life leh!!
Other girls are spending hundreds of bucks on clothes, makeovers and whatnot.....
And me?
Buy RAM, hard disk, power box, USB adaptor, bluetooth adaptor, bla bla bla more to come.
Hoho... need to be a normal girl once again. Somebody drag me out for some girly shopping please! :D

I'll rather be a happy fool than a sad smarty-wannabe. Easier for me and the rest of the world.
From today onwards, I'll think simpler and bathe in Fool's paradise! Cos people like to outsmart each other. What good will I get if I try to prove that I am better than them? Might as well be stupid-er and let them be happy.
Let them hypothesize. Struggle to prove themselves right. Snatch the punchlines. Gloat about a discovery that *yawn* isn't that fresh.
In the meantime, I will smile and nod...give patronising replies ("really? wah") without thinking, thus saving my brain power for better use. Since it makes them happy to know that someone appreciates their intelligence and I like to see people happy, it will make everyone happy!
Oh yeah Xiao Dian died.
(minute of silence............*mourn*)
Boss says that the power box is burnt! He could diagnose the problem because I told him that there was a burning smell everytime I turned on the main switch of the power socket (not the CPU power button). Yucks! It freaked me out when I smelt the chao-tah odour.
My hard-disk! Did not do any backup at all. All my work might be gone (all my base are belong to them ha ha ha), but actually no harm cos my work isn't worthy to be valued and kept lah. At least not now! But but... m-mm-my Energy pictures that I collected from 2002 till now... might be gone. Gulp. And Shinhwa vids.
Xiao Dian jiayou! Master will juice you up once I change the power box!
Yay! Jamie treating us to crabs tomorrow...YABI!!!!! ^0^>

I'm not very happy with it. No distinctions at all for this semester. And something went wrong with Web Design assignment 3 I think... it took up 50% of the total grade. Sob sob.
Creative Process.....AIYAH HECK!!!! Stingy lecturer. There wasn't even a single A in our class when some of my classmates churned out really nice works.
GUI and DSNV - two of the modules I dislike most - are Bs! It's as if they're trying to make me feel guilty. -_-
But at least we got a B for Studio Project.... efforts didn't go down the drain.
Argh! Mediocre skills, mediocre grades, mediocre life.

Hoho... This book is a present from Weikit... Came across the book for the first time at the bookstore in Citilink. (Times? MPH?) Anyway we were just standing and browsing though those largish hard cover books, and I told him to buy it for me. As a casual remark.
Wah lao that boy really go buy!! But I like it! Damn interesting. Do you know that there's a cat that has the word 'CAT' in its fur pattern? Creepy....
Also, I finally brought him to Secret Garden! We were the only guests at first. Quite a few changes compared to when I first patronised the place. There were sofas outside and the interior was more classy. But they were preparing for dinnertime's setting which explained the dimmer lights and candles. Coincidentally enough, some of Mediacorp's crew came after a while to do some filming.
Triple Choc cake
It was yummy! I think this photo resembles the blackbean fish that my father cooked earlier on in the afternoon. K nevermind. The cake was freaking nice lah! Teehee. Warm and moist with chocolate syrup.
One interesting thing was that they put mahjong paper over the white tablecloth. It most certainly felt like mahjong paper; can't blame us if it wasn't. And naturally, the white space beckoned us to fill it up, so... we doodled on it. >"<
So sorry... it was irresistible!!!
Later on we caught the movie The 40 Year-old Virgin. Kinda cute but with a terrible ending method. Mwahahaha! Highlight the spoiler here: " PEOPLE DANCING LIKE BOLLYWOOD OMGGG"
I actually went back to check on the official website ( http://www.the40yearoldvirgin.com/). And got soOOoo disappointed. Not with the website, but to know that so many parts were cut off in the version that we watched. Now, when I think back on how the audience laughed and slapped their thighs (okay maybe just me)... I feel so sorry for us. We think we're watching good material, but we have no idea of the real stuff. And that's just sad..
Back to yesterday's 'outing'... Celina and Rina were at Bugis also but I think we no fate!!! Hahaha! Called them a couple of times to meet up but our locations were opposite. Bugis street vs Parco and vice versa. In the end we ended our day out with a miserable meal...... miserable portion with so-so taste.
But somehow, Weikit seemed to enjoy it!
Okay lah, that was just a deliberate ah gua pose. Obvious right??? Hahaha...
Right?
(aww poor thing got basketball injury on his wrist)

The times...
Okay, news were all over the place since last week, but something stopped me from discussing or mentioning it. Probably because I was hoping for denial and cheerful explanation of "Nope!" from the man himself.
And then it came clear that things weren't going to be okay.
Milk, the leader of (once)popular dance group Energy, is leaving. For good.
To become a dance instructor, back to the teaching grounds, where he belongs in the first place.
I don't think Energy is Energy anymore (actually since the 2003 split). The spirit was already not there when the group became four-man... yes, they sorta pulled up their socks and tried to be better, which we emotionally-tormented supporters gladly appreciated.
But...now you're telling me that the only person who upheld the Energy spirit is leaving?
Might as well announce the split.
Come on come on, we fans can take it!
*rolls sleeves*
What's the use of struggling to hold the group together...there's no point at all.
He can veer towards the hosting biz.
And he with the long hair can continue acting as a nurse.
That guy over there can do well with his kickass attitude and singing ability.
What a grrrreat ending.... just like what I've always been dreaming of!! Don't mind my sarcasm...
But Milk will always be the best of the best.
Great dancing, down-to-earth, and fair to his fans, giving more acknowledgement to the pioneer ones too. But I'm not complaining hehe.
Just hope that he will be happy. When he gets married I'll gatecrash the wedding no matter where it's held at!!!! Hahaha!!
However certainly not in Singapore because our conservative land of Fines bans gay weddings. Or any gay festivals, events and parties that apparently go against the public's interest. Erm time to embrace change, Singapore???

Wicked schedule!
Most of the afternoon was spent at Causeway Point with Cheryl, where we bought our swimsuits. Okay so no more excuses for procrastinating exercising. Cost me 50 bucks. Well I hope it doesn't collect dust lah.... now what's left is a pair of good goggles, aka those that don't auto-fill up with water just like how iTunes auto-fill up your MP3 player.
Bought some cute underwear too. Not going to go into details lah, but there was one Halloween series one. So cute lah!
Went home at 6 plus, and saw an email from the person that put his iPod Shuffle up for Yahoo auctions. I had won it this morning... and apparently he was going to the Bukit Batok area later. So we arranged to meet at West Mall. So tired >"<
Anyway I'm very happy with the Shuffle's condition! It's a 512MB one, market price is $178, but I bought it $90! :D
Super tired now... and my bed is full of today's 'harvest'. Hahaha. Think I gonna sweep everything onto the floor to sleep again, HAHAHAHA!

Slim chance of people wanting to sell their MP3 players reading my blog, but I just want to post a notice...
Anyone selling their iPod Shuffle or Creative Muvo (TX and NX types, not slim) MP3 players? Or know anyone who is?
I want to buy one! Not sure whether it's a need or a want, a mix of both because I NEED the thumbdrive function for school, and WANT a better MP3 player.
512MB preferred, outlook wise not important, just don't paste stickers can liao. Haha!
So... please tell me if you are okay! Thanks alot! ^________^
Ironically I'm helping my friend sell his Creative Zen Micro (5GB) at $270. So all you rich people out there can consider buying yah? In good condition, 8 upon 10.
We're watching Corpse Bride tomorrow! Hohohoho! My first outing with DGT since 30th August!! I booked the tickets online just now at Cathay's website. Actually I'm abit surprised that my transaction got through, because I don't remember having enough money in my UOB account (yes I'm that poor). Since debit cards work by letting you spend whatever money you have in your account instead of letting you spend 'future money', by right it should have rejected my transaction. But but. Now it seems that we've gotten our seats without any hassle! :D
3.44am. I better roll off to sleep now.

Wahey! I now have a bluetooth USB adaptor and an abit-outdated infrared adaptor working on my computer!
Both are of this never-heard-before(to me) brand called A1 Pro. Cost me 55 bucks, which is quite reasonable lah, cheapskate even.
The infrared works pretty okay, but the bluetooth is having transferring problems. I can't figure out how to transfer files from Xiaodian to my phone! .\/.
Very irritating cos if I use infrared to do all the transferring, I'll have to hold my phone near the adaptor while struggling to click the 'Yes' button on the computer screen using the other hand. Kuku.
But at least my computer looks very high tech now with all the devices all around... puahahaha! Let me act also can mah.
And next would be using my computer to control the lights, turn on the fan, open my wardrode, clean my room...etc......hmmmm.....

Versalator Adventure - An interactive application (mini game)
Colour abit weird here. Indian boy not supposed to be that colour
It's over, it's over!
I no longer have to freeze in the Mac lab!
No more sleepless nights and frothing at the mouth already!!
Studio project screwed up my health so so much. Had grand total of five pimples which appeared at different times. Hey, not those calefare baby pimples. Big red attention grabbing ones >"<
Kept hearing my teammate Jesslyn saying " wo de lian yao lan diao liao..."
Haha...
My hair also dropped more than usual. Felt like I was having terminal illness. But stress also good lah, Auntie never come for this month. So kua zhang!!! Where got such thing one??
Anyway the presentation is over. My group was quite lucky because there weren't any major crashes or bugs when demonstrating the game. However there was once when the Mac lagged for three seconds, and didn't respond to the click.
This lecturer went, " BUG...!"
-_-"
So happy to see errors ah? But too bad lah, it was the mighty Macintosh which the school bought that was the problem...whewww.
We were the last group to present, and when we first presented the poster of our interactive application, one of the lecturers said something like, "finally see something decent".
Thank God for my lucky red underwear....oops.
Miss Pat was one of the assessing lecturers who gave us some suggestions during the past week. We tried our best go with her suggestions, but in the end we didn't manage to complete all the stuff which she advised us to do. I was abit worried that she might think we did not take her words in consideration... No no no! Don't misunderstand!!
The studio project is over. I'm so glad that I'm in 8613! Didn't know that studio project could be fun too. Without my teammates' crappy jokes and positive attitude, I think I would be very miserable (and cold) for the three weeks.
Photo after presentation
 Why my arm so thick?! I swear(and hope) it's the angle...(>.<)
I went for dinner at Sakura just now, partly to celebrate the end of turmoil! But it's better avoid there on Fridays and weekends. We were sitting outdoors, and the restaurant inside resembled a canteen. Loud chatter! Kids running around. Having to squeeze through chairs. Seeing food counter's selections snapped up in seconds.
Hohohohohoho I'm a free birdy!!!!!!
Flyyyyyy!
Btw I got 84 marks for a graphical user interface design (GUID) quiz. Freaking unbelievable. But I'll accept it gladly!
