Magic: The Long Lost Gatherings


Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.


I answered this AS truthfully AS i could.. hoho my true self is dark and evil. Kinda good NOT being the good guys all the time. You should try taking it as TRUTHFULLY as you can bring yourself to. This kinda brings me back to those old days in NHSS where we were mad over magic cards. They offer you a myriad of builds and stacks, and the limitation to your deck is only ur creativity. This is why games like these never die, they are so simple, yet you can concoct up never thought before tactics and methods and builds.

Same goes for DOTA, which explains its success this way. You don't need fantastic graphics and game mechanics. All you need is evolution and personalization. As long as they are fulfilled, it can almost be ensured they can last ages unless their developer dies or screws up.

Everybody jia you for your exams!

The Rain, the Sun and the Polyclinics.

The weather never fails to surprise me.

It can be egg-cooking-on-the-floor for 1 whole week, and the following week, 7 days of reservoir refilling. Not only that, it can be burning for 4-5 hours, then raining the next 4-5. I don't know if I should be happy about this.

This is exactly the kind of weather that causes your nearest polyclinics to be packed with people. Unfortunately, the nearest polyclinic from my place is the one that has the longest average waiting time. Statistically proven and widely publicized. 120-140 minutes if I am not wrong. That long just to seek professional help. Going to the polyclinic is a TORTURE. The wait is even more uncomfortable that the illness itself and going to the polyclinic these days reminds me of queuing up for freebies.

Queues at CCK polyclinic starts as early as 630am. Goodness.

Maybe overnight queues will be the next trend.

- "Eh Boss, I will be sick tomorrow ah. So I'm calling you now to inform you that I'll be on medical leave tomorrow."

To my SIM-RMIT mates,
Exams are in 1.12414 weeks time, so please take care everyone! This is not a good time to be falling sick. Especially when the weather is so unpredictable.

Best of luck for the exams and study hard!

This is the meaning of FAST


Been trying to download Call of Duty 4 Demo from US websites which SUCK and need to wait very long. Worse, they keep on fail to download. Its super frustrating when u spend the night waiting, for a corrupt file. However, I love broadband and this is how LOCAL broadband should be. Just - Damn - Fast. I achieved this in hall using NTU's link, downloading through www.gameaxis.com, a local gaming/downloading site.

1mbps = 125 KB/s

So if i can get average 5 mb/s, it means NTU's local link is abt 50+ mbps.

Wow, imagine starhub's maxonline ultimate at 100mbps.... 12.5 MB per second! This is the true meaning of fast, if only singapore's content is up to par.

HG's representive found in Singapore Government



Breaking News: Osaka's HG has found a representative in the People's Action Party of Singapore. Mrs Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, Minister of State, Ministry of Community Development, Youth & Sports MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, a veteran MP of Singapore and an Alumni of NTU, has coincided her surname with the famous "ユフォォォォォォォ~!” (Yu-Foooooooo) outburst, overused in HG's vocabulary. "Foooo~" has already been derided as "capalang usage" by several Anti-Homosexuality activists, because HG says whatever he wants before adding the "Foooo~" to end his sentence and doing lewd movements.

When asked about whether Mrs Yu-Foo's surname's identity with a "Hard Gay" or what HG is affectionally called, will affect her credibility as a distinguised Minister of Parliament of Singapore, Student Lin Kaibin, 22, from NTU said: "It is not easy to find such coherence to a well-loved phrase in Singapore's amalgam of surnames, especially hybrid ones. However, the word "YU" which is ”玉“ in Chinese, represents Jade and can be said to represent Wealth. Also, the word "Foo" which is "福" represents Fortune in Chinese. All in all, it is really an auspicious surname to have and I am sure she has the fortune and wealth of being a Singapore MP. I fully support her. Yu Foo!"

We then proceeded to ask HG for his comments. He promptly replied in Japanese : " I am very happy she has adopted my favourite phrase in my Variety Show, and hope she can inspire viewers in her country to support my cause, which is improving the society of Japan. I am not a real gay and I have already bagged Anne Suzuki so Anti-Gay activists stop writing untrue things about me. I am just an entertainer and it really hurts to defend my sexuality. I am going to bed with Anne tonight to prove I am straight. Watch out for our amateur video foooo!" Apparently HG cannot restrain from his habit.

Whether the person of interest in the discussion matters or not, we were unable to find out. When approached, the Minister of State and Community Development and Youth and Sports MP, declined comment.

给大家听的秘密。。。



Here's my hall band "1/4 James" with a performance of Jay's Secret during Mid Autumn Festival 2007 in Hall 10. The videoman was quite lousy as he moved near the monitor (speaker) and resulted in serious distortion in the mic pick up of the Cam. Well... I din really think we performed well and maybe because everyone was tired after school. Kexin my lead singer didn't do as well as she could (mainly because the song was not in her optimum range), my voice loud and soft (cos i shift here shift there), Paul got some weird outbursts from his guitar, Yvonne screwed up just a bit. However I think it was quite good though, even though the crowd died. I "kang-ed" everything including Drum sets, mixers, speakers, amps down wif a few of my crew and it wasnt enjoyable haha but its worth the xp of performing in a carpark.

But. Of all things during Mid Autumn Festival.. no moon for us to 欣赏。

I'm Hot. You're Hot. We're Hot.

This weather is killing me.

After 20 years, I still cannot stand the weather here, and probably another 20 years down the road, I will still not be able to comprehend this egg-frying temperatures. Hot and humid, that is the worst. And with all the big hoo-haas on global warming, I just cannot imagine how is it going to be like in future.

Great balls of fire? Man on Fire? Chariots of fire?

But thankfully, for all my moaning over the hotness over here, we do not have burning bushes or dried-up reservoirs, YET.

A big salute to all the guys out there with idol-like hair lengths. You're truly my idol. That swagger of yours make me go oh-so-crazy and makes me want to shout for you. "HOT AHHHHHH!"

Are you Hot?

Ben

PS Kaibin, please do approach the mentioned freshie drummer. As for the guitarist, didn't exactly asked him to join, but he's interested in jamming with us. He's a X Japan junkie as well. Covered Art of Life and has a youtube video on that. Think he can play kurenai's solo as well.

ChopSquad's debut beckons.

Update on the KNN flu

I'm still leaking even after a good nites sleep interrupted. Why? By some farking armor battalion live firing at my adjacent range. For those living in hall, you should get used to it. However, dunno today is some division live firing or what. It's been non-stop since morning !!?! And i can differentiate 75mm tank rounds and 25/30mm BX rounds and sporadic rifle and MG fire... its THAT loud and irritating. And its been consistent since morning. Just like my runny nose.

cos you had a bad day, you're taking one down, you sing a sad song just to turn it around~~~

Oh yes. to add dung to the pile, my macbook pro's battery has started dying on me by totally shutting off current when its at 75%. Now I gotta bring my adaptor to sch everytime. Bring it on!! I can take anything the world can dunk on me.

I have an MCQ quiz in 30 mins time which will have to be done wif a box of tissues beside me.

There's a speck of joy and hope in this fuck. I got A for both my forensic science quiz and Manufacturing Processes quiz. That's why I love MCQ quizzes.

Kaibin

P.S. Ben, if u really interested in a drummer, I've one potential freshie drummer in hall. Will be in talks wif him regarding our band, provided I don't pass my KNN flu to him. Have we found a guitarist yet?




2:31:00 PM



Heed Our Call.

Its been 25932478 hours since I've last step foot into a jamming studio. To be exact, since the days of Thunderstruck and the 'chapalang' band with the mats.

I want to jam again. And again. And again. With ChopSquad that is.

Where are you, drummer?

Ben

If you are reading this and happen to be a drummer. Please please please let us know!!

Or

If anyone reading this knows of any drummer, do introduce him/her to us or vice versa!

Thanks. ありがとうね!

Cold Flu, Hot Flu

I'm down with Flu. And I FUCKING hate it cos i'm supposed to study for my many quizzes tomorrow and the rest of the week. Why am i pissed? Cos when u have a fucking runny nose it drips constantly onto ur lecture notes and i'm forced to stick a piece of tissue up my 2 holes to dry it. And guess what. It does NOT stop flowing. WHERE THE HELL DO ALL THE FARK FLUIDS COME FROM? How to study !!! Ahhh.

There are a few hypothesis for my state. I always get flu or a runny nose when I go home away from hall. First, I may be allergic to Meow Meow, my unbelievable adorable stray cat. By frolicking in the drains then coming up onto me to cuddle me, I am a germ magnet and thus contributes to my flu. Second, I am not used to the heat at my house. NTU hall is really very cool all day except when the sun shines through your blinds. However, at home, it is baking all the time. When I take a rest on my massage chair and fall asleep, the sun juz bakes me till i leak sweat. That's where the term "Hot Flu" comes. I really think it happens. Your body can't manage the extreme temperature and goes haywires. Kinda like overclocking your body. Hot also cannot, cold also cannot. FLU = Fucking Lousy Uncomfortable ME.


Also, I feel damn stupid and frustrated with myself. I can go ard smashing things up now. I printed 60 tickets for my hall social event spread over 15 pages of EXPENSIVE quality paper my mom bought from Vivo PageOne, but because I didnt consult my financial secretary, who prompty told me that the tickets would be rejected by the Office of Finance, because those circled are not in accordance to the rules.

D A N G.

Wasted $5 on the paper, wasted ink, gonna waste a trip home to reprint the 60 tickets. All amidst my quiz and CA week. Linkoping is a very angry person now.

And I'm still leaking from my nose. KNN.
