If you’ve followed my stories, you’ve known that I’ve recently purchased a whole new computer except for the graphics card. This in other words meant that I bought a nice shirt, a nice pants, a nice pair of shoes, funky socks and an awesome pair of sunglasses. However, my undergarment is 3 years old it is starting to itch. I’ve not gotten a graphics card due to the thinking that its price would drop (definitely would) and that I would get a good price for a good card in the near future. It wasn’t too much into the future (Good Friday 10/4/09) that I’ve purchased a graphics card due to some kind of promotion/offer. Â Also on that day (Good Friday), my cousin’s uncle told me that he had a spare card for it couldn’t work on his Starhub free computer. That itself acts as an catalyse for the purchase of a new card.

Run and Stretch
Recently completed part of my National Physical Fitness Award (NAPFA). The stations completed were the 2.4km run and the sit and reach. For some background information about my personal physical strength: I ain’t extremely fit, lack stamina and weak in the arms. Terrible at stretching for god knows what reason. Since primary school till date, the best I’ve ever gotten was silver. Never in my life had I gotten a gold. My brother and sister both had gold for years and years continuously except for me. Come on I am average in terms of physical conditions but it just seemed as though I wasn’t fated for gold. Of course, I’ll be aiming for gold by the end of my IB education (year 6). Continue reading
No Internet Means Blackout
Thunder and lightning were roaring angrily yesterday. Cats and dogs splattered down my roof. The intensity of the rain was madness. The loudness of the thunder was deafening to the ears. I cooped myself in my room that very afternoon, resting (or shall I say, using my computer). “BOOM”, a thunder rang, “BAAM” the lightning sang, “KABOOM” my modem went. Bleh, it had seemed that the thunder has somewhat struck the house or something causing my house’s modem to go haywire. It all happened in a sudden when the lightning just struck and my computer immediately tells me that there was no internet connection. I could hear the modem crying out (clicking sound) but I thought it will be fine after awhile. But I was obviously wrong. It was seriously ill and could only continue looking at me with his red little eyes, staring at me as if he was telling me that he couldn’t take it no longer and he was internally injured.

DirectX Compute Ocean
Mind you the ocean is graphically computated and not real.
Really amazing eh?
Yet Another Busy Week
At least this week isn’t as bad as the last one. All weekdays came home around 6-7pm except Thursday, which I came back home at 4pm! Woohoo! A little bit more time to play rest. There are a lot of events that took placed over the past few days and weeks that caused my life to dramatically change. The change in hierarchy in my CCA, the different feelings and moods that it stirred up within my friends and of course myself still finding a way back into how I felt during the last few months in the year 2008. I shouldn’t be talking much about that for I don’t want to get into any more trouble that some of my friends got. Anyways, as usual Friday was a day of mixed feelings and thoughts.
It was fun, very fun especially since it was with just that group of people. I don’t know but it felt rather relaxing and simple enjoyable with them. It was that carefree feelings that I always looked forward to after Friday activities. Playing soccer with the people whom I do not really know of, meeting up with friends from other CCAs and simple communicating and interacting with them. Although I was tired and was suffering from fatigue over the days, I felt energetic at that point of time. The atmosphere was filled with warmth comfort that simply drives all my tiredness away.
Went home with a friend, who made a mistake that cost him 3 years of hard work. I always told myself, whatever I do or say, I always had to be diplomatic, neutral in other words. There was no point going extreme positive nor negative for it brings no extra benefits but only more harm to oneself. Hey dude, if you’re reading this post, I feel for you man. But it is just too bad, and life’s always like that. You get condemned for a single mistake and you’re remembered for that in a lifetime. However when you’ve done something right, people praise you for it just at that moment and totally forgetting it the next day. That’s life.
I’m glad that you seem much more cheered up after talking about seriously retarded topics in the journey back home. Glad no train officers came up to us and bring us to some counselling home or something. Content of the talk? Nah, I rather not speak about it. You can however find out some of it somewhere. No point telling, it’ll only make me look much more stupid, like how someone calls my class “stupid retarded juveniles” in a joking manner.
I’m happy that the weekends are finally here and I can take some time to play rest. Still got loads of work to do but I’m sure I can try to find some time to finish them.
Happy April Fools!
There is no joke. I’ll just like to wish everyone happy april fools day and if you got fooled or anything, may you be merciful on the person that tricked you. If you fooled others, hope you had a fun laughter and that your relationship didn’t suffer.
The most direct way of saying ever. Sorry, I’ve ran out of ideas.
Fifa 09 Ultimate Team DLC Review
I’ve just recently found out about the new Downloadable Content (DLC) for Fifa 09, the Ultimate Team mode, through my brother. Haven’t been in touch with gaming news and stuff because of the tremendous amount of school work I’ve gotten. Anyways, after purchasing it, a price tage of around $14 SGD I believe, I finally found the time to try it out. The Ultimate Team mode was most probably inspired and based around Fifa Online 2 (FO2: the free alternative of Online Gameplay for Fifa). The whole game basically revolves around the normal matches and cards. Yes, cards determine whether your players are improving, whether they will improve and of course how great your Team will be. Almost everything is based on cards, which is something new I would say (besides the concept appearing in FO2).
