6E-BBQ

Hey, for sometime i really forget about this blog.

Some time ago, we had a BBQ at Circle Green. Kinda weird as i thought i was supposed to be the one that's long not in touch with them. Turns out i'm the first friend to arrive, had to set up the place for them =X.

*forget about the raininy part*

I'm glad to see those people that i missed so much. But still, it wasn't a full gathering. Too bad they "casted" out Ah-Rape with those non-hallah food. There's others that say they're too busy, but i can tell majority there really scraped time for it.

I'm starting to feel lazy for this... so i wanna stop here.

So long never post...

haiz.... so much to say... don't think i wanna recall them...

Today there's something that caught my mind. Somehow, I recalled a GrandMaster (chess master as we all know) words: "if you put your mind to it, there's nothing you can't do" (not a direct quote, just tt much tt i can recall).

I also remembered something like:
- The secret in making a genius is education -

Now I started to think whenever possible. First thing I'll apply this priciple is to my Flash2 assignment (flash arcade game development). Somehow keeping this priciple in mind also makes my day more enjoyable.

**Just believe I can do it**

I get busier in the holiday

Mr. Eng Siang Hao
Camelot Hobbies
Singapore

EXHIBITOR

When I saw my friend's tag, it's either only the name or the title with the company. Didn't expected to see my classmates in GCA at all. Turns out they have just started their IA, with the first few days in the convention hall. The GCA week...

(from 9am everyday)
Monday: ended at 7.50pm.
Tuesday: ended at 8.15pm.
Wednesday: didn't sleep
Thursday: Suntec, ended at 6.30pm
Friday: Suntec, ended at 6.30pm
Saturday: rest =D
Sunday: Suntec, ended at around 8pm (if i nvr rmb wrongly)
--> Summoned to aunt's place for dinner at SOUTH, then reach home by 11pm++

Once out of the week there'll be calls from V.Era. I understand that once i reached MA, things will be easier. Somehow, i'm travelling, busy here and there and half of my holiday is gone. Just like today, supposedly a meeting for someone to share his experience from the trip to CHINA with us. It's something i'm interested to know. But before that, I've let Camelot down by not being productive.

*I'm blind*
Knowing what lies ahead, yet unable to see them. V.Era can bring me an easier life in the future, but for now i can't see the need for that future. All i know is i'll do whatever i like, tt's being good at the thing i do (Music and IT related stuff). I don't feel the need for love as i can't even wander off to that area. I have lost my holiday, the holiday where I can enjoy, skate, think and jio girls out.

Still remember one morning when Mom suddenly wake me up, asking me what time I had to be in office. That very moment when i woke up i had no idea what she was talking about. Blank mind, where the first thing that approached it was WORK. I was so blur that i knocked myself once just to figure out what she was talking about.

Now that i have 2 days break from Camelot, V.Era starts calling me back. I know that the products benefits certain pple (which is the only point i see now), but I don't like the idea of appointment. Was thinking i really don't want to rush anything from V.Era, but seems i still haven't achieve that yet.



Out of this "mess", i suddenly had the idea of keeping a pet hermit. Think i'll check it out with ANDY soon. Hopefully we both have time to meet up.

That's my life now... "Happy Holiday" =D

War

Ok... recently watched Transformer and felt it's like another war movie. Have you watched it? It's a show you wouldn't wanna miss. I think Transformer hasn't really changed. It has always been nice since it's first cartoon ( if i'm not wrong =_+"). Just that over the years, it's slowly fading into the background. I'm supprised how the people modelled the Transformers. Whatever 3D software they use, it must have been painstaking.

War isn't just in the movies...
This morning I was as usual, sleeping in the bus. Recently my life has been going so well that I thought something wrong is going to happen (as I have seen from the pattern of life). There was I thinking the Russians must have replied our mails with the new API (i'm talking about my work here). In fact, I left home so early until I met the office lady who is incharge of opening the office's door.

Then I went for Mac's Big Breakfast (nothing too sweet to make me sleepy =D ). And I sill ended up being 30mins earlier than required time. The office lady was supprised and couldn't believe I didn't sleep for the night (logically... since i couldn't sleep late if i didn't sleep at all >.<"). To my relieve, there's no new mail from either Russia or the Company. That means... there's still war...

lemme esplain:

Most of the time we are in office because of the school's rule. To say, this work doesn't even require me to me in office every weekday. So... nothing to do right? I taught my friend the art of playing MineSweeper. There we are, cleraing minefields in the middle of our "war". Infact, i got so bored that I started typing this crap.

BTW, i still haven't figure out the "what time is it" game... partially lazy to think also. Well... should end here since I feel like visiting the bomb shelter (toilet) now.

Mingle around

Lately have been joining my bro to hang out with his friend. Got to know alot of LJs from ODAC (LJ == Lao Jiao, not lan jiao).

Yesterday night joined my bro to skate in Esplanade underpass. He was there because he wanted to see the ODAC freshies, skate in the underpass, as well as hang out with ODAC LJs. Good thing aunt had cooked me something and he brought it along, hence my dinner was settled. After work, took bus 36 and ended up spending some time in a traffic jam. I'm supposed to take for 10 stops to reach Cityhall, not realizing that it actually goes 1 round around Suntec and Esplanade. I got quite du lan actually when the bus passed Suntec. Afterall, i'm circling around my destination (Esplanade underpass) when I could easily skate there. When I saw the bus heading towards esplanade, I dropped at the nearest bus station. Glad to see Mark when I reached there. Think I have accepted him as a bro somehow, when we always bluff people that we are brothers.

~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Harry's Bar (same night):


I didn't know Pattrick was treating the LJs at a bar. Initially they wanted to visit Harry's at HollenV. Think my bro made some arrangement, we didn't go there. Instead, we hung around esplanade for any bar. Then my bro went to draw money, coincidentally infront of another Harry's.

It's the first time I ever visit a bar. Hence obviously I can't tell anything from the menu. By then I was totally sweaty, hence left my butt mark on it's seat. I tried 4 drinks in total, and it's obvious which has higher alcohol concentration. The LJ group that was there consist of only pleasant pple, but apparently "wei-duo-li-ya" wasn't herself. I don't believe she got drunk, but from the things that she was focusing on, it's easy to tell that something was wrong (wrong things at the wrong time). Anyway, I think I still don't know how to enjoy wine, or is it another incident like "siew mai" when the first one I ate was bad?

My bro started to play lame games. Game which I still couldn't decipher how to win. According to Pattrick and Bro, the game is too simple and only stupid people could understand. Guess i'm not dumb enough yet >_<", like "wei-duo-li-ya" who is also too smart for it.

~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

After that bro and I decided to skate awhile longer at the underpass. Then we had some tourist taking our picture and applusing for us. Then we skated through citylink and took the train from Cityhall home.

Travelling back...

Last Saturday was BBQing for Raechel's BDay in ECP. She is one of the LJs if you are wondering who i'm taking about. Bro and I set off on uncle's lorry for 888 in the noon for lunch. Then there seem to be some comunication problem and everyone had to compromise as where to meet up. Then we went to "Shing Song" the supermarket for the BBQ items. Met Reachel and Vict (Victoria, not victim) there when I had to carry out my duty as a "che zhen" (not the initial D that kind, but the one watching after the lorry, just as God watches over us =D). Then we went to TenderFresh for the meat and then to East Coast.

~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

BBQ:

We wheeled everything for the BBQ from the carpark to the pit, which was freaking far from skating rink. There Vict showed off her skillz from ODAC and almost smeared my face with charcoal. Venom from ODAC was there and brought alot of entertainment. Gawd... I can nvr forget her name now, as it has already become a classic. I skated slowly to the rink, and learnt a few combos from PH. Then slowly skated my way back to the pit. By the time I returned to pit there were a lot more people. I didn't help out, as there were people cooking at the BBQ pit already. So all I did was eat, and skate about.

After I got full, I went playing with this scavenger cat. After a while it vomitted, and something like an alien came out of it. It's my first time seeing a cat vomit in that fashion. The the cat simply lazy around, ignoring me who was skating beside it. My brothers came (Bro and Mark), hence I started to play the song from my handphone aloud and skated to it. Supprising I can slalom for around 155 sec and kicking only 2/11 cones. Was shagged after that and soon Raechel was about to cut her cake, when my bro realised that he had lost one of his Nuts (the one from the skate's ankle support, nothing more).

Then... all the BDay rituals, including cake smash was carried out. There is this BDay "explosive" that came alive when venom tried to Sabo someone. It made quite a din in the night but what comes out of it is a nice burst of glitter and a bloated BDay well-wishing inflated bag.

~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

So it's all over, but since i'm the "che shen" and my bro is the driver of the day, we Koped majority of the raw leftovers, sent a few gals home. Those at the back of the lorry had some entertainment with our guitar. We refueled the lorry and returned it to uncle. Bro and I had some Kebab Microwaved as supper before I sleep.

Travelling back...

Some days ago it was Rachel and Vivien's actual Birthday. Anybody who knows me will know I don't like to celebrate Birthday, but Vivien keeps reminding me that it was going to be her birthday. Logically I wouldn't ignore pretty girls as far as I could, hence after 6pm I went shopping for her present.

I remembered some time ago I asked her how to break a girl's heart. I think instinctively she thought I was saying how to soften a girl's heart and let her accept you. She replied "sincerity" instantly, and soon realise that it wasn't what I want to know. Somehow she thought it's cruel for me to know how to break a girl's heart and never gave me an answer for it. Well... that means I can't just give her any dirt from the streetz. There I was, carrying a total of dunnoe how many kg (laptop + skate), walking around the basement of PP building, going from shop to shop. Eventually, I got her present and the birthday card. It was there that saw Raechel and my Bro shoppping for her BDay cake. I got invited to the supper that night, for her actual birthday.


~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

Supper:

That night Bro drove me and Rachel to some prata place. There I saw Venom for the first time. There were 2 girls there. If anything were to describe the 2 girls together, it would be . The other girl is Adeline, one of the ABC girls I'm supposed to "have met". After we ordered our prata, Pattrick came (only met him once last year, but we still remember each other).
After the arrival of her Birthday (12am), we went to "wei-duo-li-ya's" Castle. There I met Harry (vict's bro, same age as me) and learned that he has-a-thing for Venom. I'm supprised that Vict actually have 2 fridges filled with food, but it's only logical since Castle is miles away from commoner's market. Then we had Pattrick holding the cake and... Birthday rituals. We had some ice-cream and started taking photos.

Somehow my bro had this idea of pushing Pattrick to Raechel, hence asked Pattrick to hold her and take photo. To be fair, my bro was made to hold Vict. Then someone saw that we had even number of girls and guys and suggested that Harry carry Venom and I carry Adeline. I wouldn't mind actually, but since my arms aren't strong and Harry is busy, it's called off in silence. Then we left the castle f'or home.

~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-

So now you know how I met Venom, Adeline, Harry and Pattrick. Mark (my brother's younger brother, now my brother also) is the one who taught my Bro how to skate, and my Bro is the one who taught me how to skate... ...

Travelling back...

Some days ago my bro told me he wanted to teach someone how to skate in East Coast on that weekend. Since now i'm working in Parkway Parade, I grow slightly attached to East Coast Park. I went to ECP on that weekend. While skating to Fort Road, I met Mark who was trying to close a conversation with his ex. There he told me there's ABC girls at my destination, who are supposed to learn slalom from my brother. By the time I reached there, the ABC girls were gone, leaving with only Raechel and Vict. That's the first time I met these 2 ladies. After that we had dinner together, the 4 of us.

That how i get to know a bunch of new friends.

New Life - Out of Second Life

The FYP ended... in the end it gets clear that I am the one dragging the whole team down . Sadded.... but it's something i can't change anymore. All I can do now is to strive in my IA and modules to make up for it.

Industrial Attachment.
It started off with Prime Industrial Building. Frank to say I didn't really know what to expect. This company haven't really produced any console games yet. Then on the first day we go to know we are working on LUA scripting. It's quite a pleasant place to be, but I'm using someone else's workplace. Today she's back, and it seems she wanted her place back. JW and I both agreed that she's the only "lookable" lady in the office.
Anyway, this coming Tues our workplace is shifted to Parkway Parade (PP building). That means I have to leave house at least 1hr 45mins before 9am. That means I'll have to waste a lot of time traveling. Well, least they close at 5pm and after that I can skate at ECP.

Junction

Anybody miss FJ? All of them says the new FJ was better than this KouFu (partially because of a smaller variety of choies). What I think...

Business is probably gonna be the same or slightly worse. Think of the reason why FJ closed down, u'll probaby realise it might be the same for KouFu. I tried the Dim Sum stall, and everything was like too oily. I would Prefer the dessert to the fried stuff. Guess majority will share the same view as me.


But hey, that's not the only junction I face. Yesterday I was called out during my FYP. Danny Koh was there and he told me that I was selected for IA in China. Obviously the first reaction was WTH? followed by how did they choose people? But then after a few moments, I think...
I'm in solitude now... my life's a chore. Since it's almost the same, it wouldn't make a difference. Further more an overseas IA trip might be good for my resume. Hence I keep my mind open. Even so, it's obvious that majority of my friends are like so Anti-China (there's always something bad about China that they'll talk about). In fact, if everything is OK, my parents agree and some friends are going, I would consider going also, even though I might by away from home for 3 months.

Today I went for the interview. It's definitely a weird feeling, cause "are you deciding whether I am qualified to go" or "do I want to go". Sitting outside the conference room simply reminds you of the famous "You're FIRED" (understand how I feel?). But then again facing this kind of situation i'm automatically set to "DO MY BEST" mode. Almost everybody thinks I am prepared for the interview but to be honest, I really didn't do anything about it. All I do is coming up with logical facts that I can think of in the interview (I was totally honest).
After like 20 mins my turn is over. It is as though if I wanted to go I'll defintiely be in. Soon the day ended. Upon reaching home I told mom about the budget. You probably wouldn't believe her reacion.

Now this decision isn't an issue to me at all, I'm kinda relief actually. Mom totally disagree with the budget. Can't believe she got more emo than anybody else I've seen. She started quoting examples from my sis, and bla-bla-blaaaa~ there goes my worries and 20mins of my life. But i can tell it's not just about the money, there's definitely something that she told me, that is not found in her words. I'm not going nowhere, certainly not giving away my skating life as well as my PC.
