200th POST!!!

It's so fast! it's my 200th post! Some might find it slow because they might have 500 within half a year? Well, that's not what I care about. I'll go at my own pace. The number 200th post must be very long and special right?

Yes!, Coincidentally today's is Tb's birthday!

*sings*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TAI BAO AO~
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...

Talking about Tai bao (which isn't his real name)... I begin to reminisce about how we knew each other. I first met him when a secondary friend introduced him to me. It is not like those formal friends making sessions or anything of that sort. We met because we short of one more player for Dai dee and my friend decided to call Tai Bao to come.

When we met, I was shy to speak to him but barely knew his name, which is Tai Bao. I felt weird for a name like that but that's what people introduced him to me as. I accepted that name and the name is used until today. Imagined me calling him this name from Secondary school till now and he will answer back.

Sometimes I called his house and his sis picked up the phone, I will say "Hello, may I speak to Tai... opps" Call wrong name! because nobody in his house knows who is Tai Bao! So we had grown accustom to it and sometimes I even forgot his real name.

He is older than us by 2 years old but we shared the same hobbies among the friends. Things like Dota, Maple and Dai dee were some of the things we do and play. It is these little things that made us what we were today. The friendship we created, the joy that we had, the history we made and the happiness that we shared.

The 3 greatest accomplishment/happiness of him for this year that I helped him to think up of...

1. ORD
2. Driver's License
3. His Birthday


I think the first two options were the most significant ones. Not that his 21st birthday isn't important but I ranked it in terms of his likings. I hope I can get over and done with the things that was in the 1st and 2nd columns but it will take years. So in anyway, Congrats to him. (Remember, must drive me around! although I am scare.)

Next up

Please be prepared. Lowered down your volume to the minimal if you want to view this video. Please be warned that it might caused some disturbance if you do not like high pitches and exotic dancing. (It's recommended to off my stefanie sun's music at the left side bar before playing the video below)

The Orange shirt women was dancing like nobody's business at the fore ground. I can't stand it anymore, I am going mad~~~~~

Friday, 27 June

A new faci came to our class for multimedia. This module is by far, that has the most changes in our facilitators. All of them revolves around mens only. However, today's one isn't permanent but he is good. At least he jokes with us, laugh with us. He even allowed people to play games and join in to discuss.

Good faci aside, I decided to leave alone during the second break out. I left promptly at 11:30 and the feeling was simply fantastic. It was because it is a Friday and that only means the last day of the week. I also meet up with Hx and Mk so that we can buy present for Tb.

Also, as I leave the school, I decided to buy the BIG deck of cards that me and sherman saw the other day. I was hesitant to buy it but the uncle that is selling it says that it is last day and I just couldn't miss it out.



Later I found out that it wasn't a "need" but just a "want". $4 wasted.

Anyway, We bought a G-shock watch for Tb as his birthday present. We was deciding to just appear by his doorstep giving him a scare because he wouldn't thought of it. Mk was supposed to have work, I was supposed to be in school and Hx supposed to be sleeping.

When we reached the interchange, wanting to take a bus to his house, all of us only had a fade idea of the bus number. I saw 252 coming and I thought it was the bus to Tb's house and quickly ask them to chase the bus. When we got on, the bus doesn't go to Tb's house and it went the other way! We notice it since we got onto the bus but no one was certain that it was the wrong bus.

Then we want to get off at the first stop but the first stop seems like forever! The distance and time taken to travel to the next stop is comparable to about 3 bus stops in normal situations. (252 is a bus that travels to Tuas area, usually meant for factory workers.)

By the time we took 252 back to the interchange, half an hour had pass. Mk, (who was earlier deciding whether to go to Tb's house to surprise him), couldn't go, because he has to rush to work. Haha! I had caused him not able to go and wasted his bus fare. Sorry!

In the end, only me and Hx went to Tb's house. He didn't get a shock and was on the phone. We just went into his house and we did all the normal stuff that we always do. Play computer. Maple and Dota

Left his home at about 8pm. Went to have Aston's for dinner.

Saturday, 28 June

TIMOTHY CAME OVER. In fact, he came over on Friday night but I forgot to mention it.



As he gets older, he learned new things. It gets especially obvious when I only sees him two days a week. (As I was typing this, I took Timothy's naked photo as he finishes his bath~ Lalala) Now he will talk very loudly in some gibberish language that no one understands and laugh until his eyes become a line. If he is hungry and you make him wait too long, he will be angry and refused to drink the milk.



My aunt and cousin came to my house at evening. Tb and Hx came at night. Then followed by my sister. It has now become a ritual that it is a meeting place for gathering during weekends. Anyway, Tb, me, Hx and both my sister played the Monopoly together.

Tb was the first to admit lost after stepping into "The city" bought by me. He has to pay 6 millions and he gave up. My elder sis was the next unlucky one. She step into "it" again and by this time, I had build a few more houses in it already. She had to pay 14 millions and left with 1 million. She was on the verge to lose and was just waiting to be bankrupt. Then followed by Hx. By this time, I had already established the Hotels. A visit to my house would be 20 millions and he was left with 12 millions only. He had to mortgage or sell his house to pay me.

In the end, the game ended there after and I was the winner! My younger sis is the only one that escape the fate of entering my Hotels. Despite that, I told her that she had lost already and she still couldn't take that fact.

After Monopoly, it was Dai dee session. By this time, it is already 11pm. We play and play until Hx suggested a new game called "Texas poker". Rule of poker still applys with the Ace being the biggest, etc.

In the end I lost $8. I would have lost $20+ but luckily I won a big one at the last part to save it back. This game can make you win alot or make you lose alot as well. It really depend on your luck and skills.

I am Happy

Such a easy and simple title for today's entry. Many things can make me happy. But this thing about the USB connecting of viewty's had finally been resolved! It has been troubling me for days and weeks and thanks to Liping (from my class) that I am able to solve this "seems simple but yet a hidden function within another function".

Let's recapped the procedures...

1. Press menu
2. Go to "Phone setting"
3. Press "Connectivity"
4. Press "USB Connection mode"
5. Select "Mass Storage" instead of the default "Data service"

Now, Pluck in your USB cable and it will auto bring you to the Storage system. 5 simple steps and I can transfer pictures from my phone to computer or vice versa. Blame it on my laziness for not exploring the viewty's function when I am free. (Now I know why the teenagers are so furiously pressing their cellphones on the MRT)

Anyway, I hope I help those using Viewty's in resolving this problem. Also, thx Liping for the great advice. Now I know who to go to for viewty's advice. Just from my class, I had 2 friends using viewty already. I guess it's really cool to have people using the same phone and when you don't know how to use it, you asked! From there, you learned a new way or function of using the phone. It's that exciting.

Talking about exciting, I hope Saturday can come faster and end slower. Timothy gonna come over and I sure missed him. I want to carry/hug/smell/torture/make-him-cry/strangle and see him!

Get smart!

Yea~ Yet another great movie. Watch it with Tb at Jurong point. The movie was funny and it's that kind of predictable kind of humour. Anyhow, it will still make you laugh.

Guess I will have one more movie to be strike-out from the movie lists. Just as one got strike out, another two movies come right onto the movie lists zzz... It's "The mummy" and "10 Promises To My Dog". This month's movies is all so interesting and I want to watch it all.

Anyway, in case you do not already know what the movies I am talking about...



Ok and the complete movie lists should look like this...

Never back down
You don't mess with the Zohan
Get Smart
Wanted
Hellboy II
The mummy
10 Promises To My Dog


It's surprising I had total no interest in the Batman Dark knight movie or whatever it is called. I thought I was supposed to like those kind of "comics-characters-comes-alive" kind of movie? I guess it's because Batman isn't pleasing enough. Neither do superman =X

I was super lucky today since I got the scratch card thingy and won something FREE



Cannot exactly say it's free because I need to buy the tickets to entitle myself into this scratchcard. I also need to buy a Popcorn Combo in order to get the free 16oz Coke (Don't even know how small it is). The usual me will scratch the card anyhow and peek whether have I won anything. If I win, I will scratch it nicely. If I have a feeling that I didn't win anything, I will not waste my time scratching it and throw away the rest.

Imagine you scratch and it says "Congratulation! You won $1000!" and below it is a small "Just kidding". What's the feeling like? I guess I will go mad because it's isn't easy to scratch till something like that. (Not the "just kidding" part)

Anyway, I was talking to Tb about life as a villager. I mean I want to be a villager where the life is so carefree and you need not study. You can do anything you want. But at the same time, I am greedy. I want to be a villager that can access to the internet and play games online and not care about anything else. That may sound childish but feel free to swap the option of play games online to anything you like. It doesn't need to be playing games. It can be as simple as sleeping whole day!

Not really looking forward to tomorrow's lesson where the faci keeps saying and hinting you that you didn't do your part. All he do was get out of the class and sees nothing. What you did during breaks were not counted. I mean, come on. If I want to be an actor and act out all the hardworking moments, it will be easy as ABC. But please do not give me a grade that shows biasness between two students. It can be quite heart ticking...

Meet up with Tb and Mk after school. Mk got off from his work and I had the sudden urges to skip school again. Anyway, it's comforting to endure through schooling especially you know you won't get a super yucky grades. Much pleased to note that the UT was over and I can shake the burden off my chest!

Luckily, for all the brakes, there ought to be someone accompanying me or else I wouldn't endure it through (like as if I was entering the operation table...) For first break out, Lester, Sherman, Teresa, Jeff, Yuen Feng and her friend had breakfast together at Koufu. Second break out went to tap card at one of those talks and left with Amy, Welna and Zaf. The break before UT starts, met Teresa for a short break of about 5 mins?

Had Aston's again and when I say again, it means again and again. I guess I am getting fatter ever since I entered RP. Even as I blurped while typing this post, it has the Chargrill Chicken smell!

After that, we rushed over to the theatre as the shows starts at 7:25pm. We watched "Never Back Down" and it's about boxing and fighting.



Initially, we had a hard time on deciding between "Get smart" or "Never back down". Mk wanted to watch "Never back down" and Tb wanted to watch "Get smart". I was sitting on the fence but tends to lean towards Mk's side.

I suggested watching "Never back down" tonight and "Get smart" on Wednesday night but both of them insist on theirs watching it tonight. In the end, because I was the neutral one, toss the coin to settle it once and for all. For heaven's will, Mk's flower side of coin showed up and destined the fate of tonight. Then I suggested movie marathon by watching "Never back down" first and followed by "Get smart" since the time slot made it possible.

In the end, we finished with "Never back down" and was somewhat tired and didn't watch it. I guessed we just have to do it another day.

The current movie lists is as follows...

Never back down
You Don't Mess with the Zohan
Hellboy 2
Wanted
Get smart




Why I want to watch it: Filled with lots of monsters and nice effect. Love it at the first sight of the Trailer. Although I didn't watch part 1 of hellboy, I guess I just have to watch this.



Why I want to watch this: Anyone will know the reasons why... It's Angelina Jolie and it's cool way of firing from a pistol. The cool car stunts! The trailer makes me go "Wow!"



Why I want to watch this: Funny is the main thing I guess. Heard several good comments about this movie. Tb being one of them ^^



Even the posters make it funny whereby one has the tie blocking the other and hair covering another's face. It's edited and you know it.

Friday, 20 Jun

It's Friday and I figured out that there will be lesser people attending school. There's no UT and it's going to be Saturday soon where all the fun begins. To my surprise, people started to come in one by one and soon the class was back to it's normal number of people like the usual days.

We learned about flash; splash page, whereby you enter those adidas website and the first page you see is the animated page of some soccer person showing off their adidas shirt or pants sort of thingy. Ya, that's what we learn for that day. Putting music was also part of what we learn.

I remembered we were supposed to go to don't know what "Qian hu" fish spa whereby it's the same as the one at the Singapore flyers. However, Teresa decides to not come school, Lester did not come school because he was not supposed to be in school and Yuenky just didn't want to go because it's too far. The others was just the "anything lor" reply...

In the end, we only had Yuenky, Sophia, Sherman and me going to Causeway point for "You don't mess with the Zohan". Haha, I felt that all of us were tired but we wanted to make it possible for this "outing" and so we just don't care and meet up anyway.



For some reasons, all 3 of them feel that this movie isn't great. I was of course, on the other end of the pole. I kept laughing and the edge of my mouth hurts because I open too big for a few times I guess. I love this kind of "crazy + mad + sex-humour" sort of movies. While, I guess they are just the majority of the people in the world.

Saturday, 21 Jun

Meet up with Tb and Hx in the afternoon at 3pm. Ate Aston's and I kind of change my usual orders. I tried the Salmon spaghetti and it was very filling. It comes with a soup of the day and garlic bread and I was over the top.

Saw my 2 aunts at JE and decides not to greet them. Was very shy and I didn't know what to talk about and so I decided to hide and not let them sees me. After that, we wanted to watch "Get Smart" but was cancelled and change to going my house for Dai dee session.

We waited for my sis and her husband to come too because we short of people. When my sis arrived and moments later, my mum returned and my smallest aunt came also. I was thinking "wow, it's like a mini gathering!" It's kind of funny as different room were occupied with different groups of people. And also, all these were not told before hand and it just lump together coincidentally.

My sis was playing cards with me, Tb and Hx and she got up to let her husband play. Then my sis went to the living room and starts the monopoly club which is that credit card type of monopoly. It soon become a boy versus girl place where me, Tb, Hx and my sis's husband played Dai dee. The living room has my mum, my younger sis, my smallest aunt, cousin Jia Yi and my elder sis playing monopoly! Timothy was not counted although he was at the living room sleeping.

I tell you hor! I think a group of girls gathering can be very HORRIBLE AND VIOLENT! They scream and shouts like as if monopoly was real money. The loudiest was my cousin Jiayi and my younger sis. My elder sis came in third which was also very violent at the same time.

Some common shouts includes...
"Oi, Why keep stepping onto your house one?!"
"Walao eh, I don't want play liao la"
"sell me your airports leh~"
"London eye" (I think it's one of the spot in the monopoly that is expensive)
"I bankrupt liao la"
"I richest"
"I don't care one ar, I won't pay"
"Your turn la, faster roll dices"

-Talking about millions and billions...
-Hysterical laughings like as if they one thousand years never laugh before...
-The sound of the credit card machine that goes "ti ti ti titi titititit..."

Me, Tb, Hx and my sis's husband was in the room playing dai dee and we thought the womans outside was playing the "real" stuff. They are so violent that it wokes Timothy up. They later forced Timothy to sit near them to watch them play. How I pity Timothy...

In the end, all of them left at around 11:45pm. Those that took MRT has no last train and those that took bus were lucky enough to catch the last bus. Tb was the unlucky ones. Haha! it's like as if I can get all the information about their "catching-last-train-or-bus".

Today!

Went out with cousin Jia Yi and her mum (smallest aunt), my mum, my younger sis, elder sis, elder sis's husband and TIMOTHY!



Long time never see him and I bet you all miss this little naughty kid! Anyway, we went "The central" at Clarke Quay. It's out of the norm whether there are so little people for a Sunday afternoon. Maybe that place is not a well-known place or maybe they prefer to sleep over the late Sunday afternoon.

The shops there lingers over Japanese and Taiwan styles I noticed. Their clothes, shoes, food and alot of things are mostly imported from these 2 countries and they are quite expensive.

Went to their furniture shops and saw these...



The old days biscuit brand cushion.



The maggi mee chicken flavour cushion.



Your familiar "Dynamo" washing clothes bottle that can be re-use as lightings.

We also run around and sit at those comfortable sofas and beds. Yes! these sofa was so comfortable that I almost sat there for the whole day and refused to stand up again. It's like as if the sofa was specially made to fit my buttocks as it is very fitting.





Then after that, we went to Chinatown. I remembered I always like Chinatown alot but this time, I felt withdrawn from it. Our legs was super tired and especially for me because I seldom walk around for hours. But it was a fun day la~

The half an hour entry...

Yes! you heard it right. I am gonna try finishing this entry within half an hour covering the things I did for yesterday and today. It will also include the complaining and unnecessary talkings that is a must. Ok, I better start or else it will never end.

Firstly, let me talk about the viewty. Getting new phone must be the happiest moment ever but getting it and not knowing how to transfer the pictures from my phone to the desktop must be the funniest jokes of the year. People will say "So easy la~ poke the USB cable into the USB port and send la."

Yes! it's that easy but I couldn't. It just don't connect. When things like that happen, I usually become very annoyed and starts to do things in a very rude manner. For example, pressing the spacebar violently, and sometimes peeing out of the toilet bowl.

Then my friend suggested using the bluetooth to send. I am like the first time hearing this technology and the rest of them had been using it for like years! Then the problem come again, cannot find the bluetooth in my desktop. Or maybe bluetooth function doesn't even exist in my desktop.

*NOTE Please! any kind soul that can help me solve this problem? Sophia! I need help in Viewty too. Thanks a million.

Monday, Jun 16

Skipped school halfway and went out with Sherman, Yuenky, Teresa and Lester. It was a normal day and there's no thoughts of pon-tening school until Teresa and Yuenky brought it up. After hearing, I was like beginning to think of the reason to tell the faci already. Very bad company indeed!

Bad company aside, we had Sakae sushi buffet at 3pm. We got in at 2:55pm and the waitress had to look at the watch to double confirm that it is 2:55pm then she let us in (cos earlier, she said 2:55 then can go in and we really come at that time!) At 3pm sharp, our fingers and hands were busy clicking the menu's order on the computer and taking food from the belt, respectively.



^STOLEN from yuenky's blog.

Ate quite alot and was really full. Couldn't upload the pictures because I took none as my battery went flat. Even if I took, my transfering of pictures from phone to desktop couldn't work too. Now blogging becomes plain and boring without pictures. Bear with it till I get rid of this problem.

After sushi, we went to Esplanade library to hang around. We did out RJ there. I call it the half RJ because we ran away half way and "eh eh" want to do RJ to at least get a grade.



^STOLEN from yuenky's blog again!

After that, went home via MRT with Teresa. She was VERY late for her appointment with her mum lol!

TODAY


Tb morning call me at 10am. Woke up and discovered a swell in my mouth. Maybe is ulcer or whatever but one thing for sure, it's painful. Met them at JE around 12noon. Ate at Kopitiam and watch THE INCREDIBLE HULK AGAIN!!!

Can you believe it? I said it's not worth watching it twice and here I am doing it twice! But you know what? it's free because Tb had some capitol vouchers from her sis and you know la~ I managed to be the lucky ones to use it. That's the reason why I watch it again because "Never back down" wasn't out yet.

Lots of movies I wanted to watch that is coming out soon! That includes...

WANTED
HELLBOY 2
GET SMART
NEVER BACK DOWN


After movie, we went over to my sis's house to play Dai dee. Wanted to play the credit card based monopoly but didn't. Played with Timothy also. He was very naughty! In the end, I won $3 and we went IMM to eat "Wan Zai" HK food or something for dinner. That is about all...

Erm, used more than half an hour because Raudha asked me to help her out with something. I got distracted!

OPPS, how to use Blogger?

Yeah!, It's very long since I last use www.blogger.com. Initially I thought I should start blogging again when school reopen. BUT...., but wait! I think it will be more meaningful if I do it right before the day of school reopen. That will remind some people that school will be starting and blah blah blah.

Lots of things happened in these two weeks but I think I forget it all. Besides, I think I spent most of my time at maple. To answer to Ian's question at my tag box. I am proud to announce my current level...

(>,")>Level 70, PRIEST<(",<)

This is the prove in case people say I bluff. For further prove of verifying whether "Heyblack" is mine, refer to my previous entry to see the screenshots.

I am lost of words after completing 3rd job. I started Eridanus server right after it's patch was released on Wednesday, 4 Jun. Now is 15 June, which means I spent 11 days to become level 70 (Actually is 10 days because yesterday play dai dee until morning blah blah blah).

Of course I did use the 2x exp if not I would have vomit toothpaste while brushing teeth. I also use a fair bit of money to customize my character. I must thank my sis for sponsoring $30 a-cash and I spent about $40. Now, this entry looks like a congratulatory speech or some platform for me to show off.



And please don't say I am racist to create my character in such a manner. I just like to be unique. It will motivate me to train more when I see myself different from others. I also received commendable praise for my character. Hehe.

To reply to yiing's tag: YES! Maple is sure addictive! Go play maple too. My cousin seen my blog and she started mapling again. Come on!, let's start playing maple altogether!

Saturday, 14 Jun

Yes! meet up with tb and hx. Ate Aston and went to watch "The incredible Hulk"



Erm I think I've watch the first one but didn't remember most of it because I wasn't into Hulk last time. As for this one, the most recent incredible hulk, I would say it's not a very must-watch. The first one was definitely better in terms of actions. The number of times the hulk shows up appears more frequently in movie 1 than 2. The recent one usually shows the hulk in human form which is a down side.

Hmm... Spoiler part. I saw iron man (Stark) at the last part of movie and wondered if they will be working together for the upcoming marvel movie? Anyway, Marvel has always done well for most of the movies and I think we shouldn't be too angry for one time. (Scarly, Wolverine, Juggernaut, Storm, Jean and more will be joining in?)

Viewty, View the world!

*laugh* YES AR! Finally, Viewty is in my hand now! Initially it belongs to my sis but she recently bought a new Sony Ericsson W960i. Looks cool for her because she likes the music functions. She find that she will be wasting Viewty's camera functions and hence she gave it to me! FREE!!!<--- see!

Ok Sophia, I know... You will say I copy you. But I got it FREE! I don't care!!!

Anyway, tomorrow will be school reopen. Not looking forward to it. I felt the phobia of going to school coming back again. I don't know why but the feeling is scary. The people seems like stranger once again. Back to maple again. Bye

Guilty

Haven't update for quite awhile. These few days had been busy play maplestory from 9am to next day 2am and the cycle continues... It's not like I am really among the top in the new world, but it was really fun until I forget the time.

I came to remember the time whereby this game brought about friendships. We will always go to lan shop together during Saturday or Sunday. We will always help each other in games. We will always eat at 'auntie mary' and made fun of each other. Yes!, those were the times when we are so happy.

That's why I really likes the 'feeling' of playing maple. It's like a whole family again. We played it since it's only beta. For now it is the 3rd anniversary and we are still counting on.



My Eridanus's in game name. Didn't managed to get a 4 str 4 dex stats but this will do.



My favourite place to get my pan lid! and I get it!

Well, I shall post my 'changed' character the next time. I always loves to make my character unique from others. That's the way to keep me going because sometimes you might be bored from playing maple. I shall not bore you from maple anymore, For now...

Instead, let's move on to Timothy!!!



The moment he arrived at my house on Saturday, the first word I said was 'FAT!' He was wearing this singlet type clothing and his arms was seen. The layers of baby fats was about the same size as mine already. I can't imagine the years ahead. Then I quickly blame his mum for the gene.

Maybe because these few days, I kept facing maple and not Timothy, that is why I saw a big change in him. But yes! he is knowing more and more things as time passes by. I saw him peeking at me and his eyes keep following me whenever I go. He knows how to smile when people play with him. Out of the usuals, he have a pair of eyes, a nose and a mouth.



Yesterday watch Kungfu Panda with sis, Tb and Hx. A very funny show indeed. Simple plot and nice graphics sums it up. I like the part whereby the master wants to teach panda kungfu. The master use food as bait and made him train because that's the only way.

Yesterday is history
Today is mystery
Now is present and that's why it's called 'present'


Taken from Kungfu panda but I think I change it somehow. I forget the combination but I heard it from some email last time.

For now, if I didn't update, it means that I am playing maple and having no life. BAH! call me no life for all you want.

EDITED: My mum and sis went to secret recipe to eat and never tell me! Grr... Leave me alone with my younger sis at home. Wah, my heart pain! like miss out something free...

Miscellaneous (part 2)

I felt a sense of accomplishment after I had done two things today. Like finally a heavy load off my chest! Phew.

Firstly, the weird house phone of having a third party eavesdropping on the current chatting has come to an end. I was very relieved because I will not hear the 'ah neh neh' ever again. Well, I did open the door for the technician to come in but I kept asking whether is it free to do so? He laughed at me and confirmed me that it is free because it is SingTel's problem.

Secondly, my new modem arrived and it was from a postman. I expect it to be from a SingNet person so that he could configure for me. At first, I didn't know he was a postman and I asked him whether he will do a FREE installation for me or what. He replied that he was from SingPost and do nothing of that sort. Super embarrassing.

On the happier note, the wires, adapter and even the modem looks the same like my old one except that it is smaller. I had no problem installing it myself and I was glad.



new things feels so good.



neatly arranged. Good packing.



Palm size modem. Not wireless though.

I think I became happier because just one month ago, my modem couldn't be detected. I was so scare and called the help line. The person tell me to go down personally and told me the price for new modem. I was really scare because it might be the wire's problem. But now, I got my new modem, I guess I can rest my thoughts.

Now my room is in a mess because I simply push everything aside to make space for my new modem. Wires are spotted everywhere like under the bed, over the neck and across the keyboard. Everything seems like not important and the only thing that is important is that the modem can work or not.

So now, next item to buy is the router. After getting the router, I will be able to on my desktop and laptop together and play maple or internet. Thoughts of it makes me feel so excited over the technologies at present.

Miscellaneous

(Skip this if you don't like ranting)

Recently, I keep finding myself doing miscellaneous stuff like asking whether have I sign up for a new plan of the broadband before my old one expired. It's registered under my father's name and hence they will call my father and not me. For some reason, I have no idea about the plan and my father just told me the modem will be sent over to our house.

When asked about the time and date of deliver, my father gave me the "opps-I-forgot" face. Then how am I able to predict the delivery man's arrival? I need to call SingTel but what should I start with? Like, straight away ask "Why you never deliver the modem to my house until now?!?" I guess the receiver on the other line will think that a lunatic called and suddenly shouts out things that has no background information.

Another miscellaneous stuff includes a third party interfering when you are chatting with your friend over the phone. These things starts to happen when I sign up the new broadband plan. Initially, I brushed it aside and thinks that maybe it's just for awhile only caused by some bad wiring problems.

To my horror, the 'ah neh neh' keep calling and keep saying "ello". (Ya, he say it in this way and it really makes me angry) First time he called, I said wrong number politely. Second time, I am annoyed but give him a chance because he might be looking for someone urgently and dial the wrong number. Third time, I SHOUT "WRONG NUMBER LA" and bang the table a few times, loud enough for him to hear.

From then on, he don't dare to call again. But as the time goes on, I noticed that it was I who called him because whenever I call someone, the call gets diverted to his house somehow. That means, I call him and I say wrong number! LOL

And I guess I freaked him out as he wouldn't dare to touch the phone. Because my phone will magically call his house even if I didn't dial any numbers. So special hor? my phone?

I even went on to predict that he was living in the same flat, same building or whatever you call it. He might be the 'ah neh neh' neighbour that I always shares the lift with arriving at the same floor.

'Scarly' he knows I was on the other line and knows that I scolded him on the phone. Then he plan a murder plot to kill me like those in kindaichi.



Or, or those 'crime watch' whereby it is always the 'ah neh neh' who wants to get revenge.

Well tomorrow, some people will be sent over to my house to repair the wires to see if it was faulty. I asked the enquiry whether it is free or not. She said that if those people were to enter your house and repair, then it will charge money. Ok so my plan tomorrow will be to peek through the door hole and see if they did come and repair. If they knocked on my door, I will pretend to be not at home. Lala~ (*whistle*)

Really troublesome. It's holiday but I had to look after my younger sister because she is having holiday as well. Looking after her isn't difficult as in she is old enough to do most of the things but buying lunch is my chores. I had to make sure she eats and not throw away the food I buy for her.

Maple is launching a new world on Wednesday June 4. It's called Eridanus and I think it's some kind of star's names. I think I will be playing and when I say 'playing', I have to put in alot of effort and time on it. It's back to those old days whether you have to train from morning to night and the cycle keep going on.

Not forgetting PP submission. If I haven't forgotten wrongly, I heard my faci saying something like she wants the first draft of PP in July. That means I had to at least do something during this holiday so that I had something started. Starting is always difficult for me.

Complains: TWO WEEKS HOLIDAY IS TOO SHORT!!! (it's only beginning of the two weeks and I am here complaining.)

Yet another day

Saturday, 31 May (Last day of May)

Timothy came over at the earliest hours of the morn. I quickly wake up upon hearing his cryings. He soon stop after the feeding of milk and when he finishes with it, he played by himself. I don't know why but I always want to hold his hands and swing it a few times. This make him especially puzzled and wondered if all human beings are like that. Then he will make the puzzled face like the one below...



It's a Saturday and Tim's wearing the Saturday overall! What surprised me is that my sis says that she had the complete set of Monday to Sunday overall! Now, maybe he will be the reminder of people by wearing the specific day outfit!

Then we were actually meeting to eat Aston's speciality, but my mum cooked without me and sis noticing. I had no choice but to eat at home before meeting Tb and Hx. After lunch, me, my sis, Tb and Hx meet up and went to West mall to look at computer related stuffs.

My sis was intending to rent the M1-Vodafone Mobile USB



Ya, as I was saying, my sis wanted to play maple with us using this device. This device allow the user to have broadband access everywhere. This device simply plugs into a USB 2.0 port on any laptop or desktop, self-installs its own connectivity software and automatically connects.

Just as about we were going so excited about it's pros, one cons appeared and the excitement became silent. The promoter is a young chap and knows about gaming like Dota, Maple and etc. He was kind enough to warn us about the disconnection of this device if it was to be used for playing online games (Of course you can play flash games with this device, but nowadays, who still play flash games?)

He begin to say those dug-out history of wireless being interfere if there were similar users around. It was then, it reminded me and realised that 'hey! I am a IT person and I can't be useful in this scenario?' The promoter recommend that we had those stable connection at home if we want to play online games and the Vodafone was solely for surfing the net.

Since the Vodafone isn't solution, we went to Harvey Norman to look at laptop. My sis was looking for a laptop that is light and function wise, to play games. However, the old promoter (who definitely didn't know about online games) said that if you want to play games, you must have a big laptop as small laptop do not have graphic cards that can cater to games Blah blah blah. I guess it is true but he simply just shows the most expensive laptop that is around and said "this is best" and call it a day.

He even tell us about the free gifts as if it is more important than the laptop buying consideration. By the way, he showed as a Asus laptop that cost $2088. After some discussion, we think it is not worth and the promoter has the face of "The-commission-I-will-get-after-selling-this-laptop" face.

We did a maslow's hierarchy of needs and figured out that my sis's needs isn't on the top of the list. So it is not worth and besides, she can always go Sim lim square to buy a desktop instead. Now, all we have to do is to wait for my wireless modem to come and we can play maple together at my house. Settled!

After that, we looked at VCDs and DVDs. We had nothing to buy in there and we took a cab to my house. We played dai dee and Tb won $15++ and emerged as the grand winner. (all coins, lol) We were hungry and decides to go Mk's working place to eat buffet.

We kind of scare Mk when he saw as entering the entrance. He was working and we didn't mention a word that we are coming.



My favourite section of the place. It's japanese and you can get all the Sashimi from here. I think I ate more than 20 slices of Sashimi. I think if you were to go Japanese restaurant for buffet, you will feel 'pai seh' as you need to order it. Here, you can use your tongs to 'kiap' ALL of it!



Seafood and 'Ma-la' based soup.



As we chose to sit inside which is air-conditioned, we can ask the people to BBQ the things we had chosen, for us. I think we took five plates of things in total to ask them to BBQ.



Things to throw inside the soup.



I happily took 2 and eat it. It belong to the shell-based family but I forgot the name. It's also considered luxury because I do not need to do the cooking as they cook it for us and serve them while it is hot. Although it might be fun to do the BBQ but I don't know, it can be fun being served as well.



For some reasons, I ate ice cream which is like a no-no in buffet. However, that is when I was really really full. It acts like a dessert.



These were the leftovers and Hx was reaching over to grab the food like cannibals



Tb and my sis. Bad spot as the steam keep blowing in their direction! MUAHAHAHAH



Hx and me. Good example of a good spot chosen



HAHA! I like this photo! All of them are not ready as we asked Mk to take the photo for us. Hx was looking at the handphone, Tb was scratching the head and my sis was eating Ice cream. (Why behind me got one person?!!?!!?)



Ya this is better, although the person outside the glass panel was in the picture again.

Then we talked about my sis's watch which is present from me, Hx and my mum. My sis went to change the watch as she didn't like the one we gave her. She personally added $60+ and it was nice. She begin to pose with the watch like those advertisement.



Not natural but I like the orange strip belt of the watch.



I also play along with my puma watch. Don't play play hor. Half price to my sis's watch, $100+

After that, we pay up and it costs $24.15 per person. Mk only give us 10% staff discount lor. After that we waited for Mk to get off from work and my sis went to 'ta bao' at the Hong kong Resturant for the husband. We actually intend to go Meridien for overnight Dota session but the venue was changed to Zoom. I was rather tired and hence I didn't go. After that, cab home with my sis.
