Left 4 dead


Now if you go any lan shop, you will see many people playing left 4 dead. A new survivor horror game. I love survivor horror game even since I started to play resident evil on PS1. I got addicted to the intensity of horrifying zombies and the frightening music streaming on the background whenever the 'bosses' are near. I felt the chill when I was a kid, but now I just play for the sake of reminiscing my thrill.

Now new era of horror surviving game extended to multiplayer platform, where you can now verse 4 on 4 with your friends. Battling between the 4 human survivors and horde of infected control by the other 4 players.


Play as one of the 4 human survivor


Or play as infected, where you can choose from the bosses to control:
tanker, witch, bomber, hunter etc


Now all my classmate beta-ing the game. And I think that you really need to reinforce team work when you play the game. It was designed to play as a team. If you just wanna flag zombies and venture out alone, the AI zombies bosses are designed to take down loner, and when your team-mate can't resuce you in time, you are to be blamed. Cause you got to play by tactics of watching each other's back.


Unlike CS, sometime when you alert the zombie horde if you make excessive noises, like car alarm. That's where the game fun parts are. Those zombie comes running in all directions and you don't even know what you are shoting at, and soon you are capitvated by these zombies. They don't limb like those in the resident evil, now the zombies had evolved to be able to run and open closed doors.

Its really nice if you play with your friend with tactics and teamwork. Or else, you will get bored very soon...

感人MV



Kiss - Because I am a girl. A very touching MTV from Korean..
I love the song and the MTV.

A Song For a Lady - H.O.T



OST of Korean drama - Endless love / Autumn in my heart

If J-pop swept into Singapore because of "Beach Boy", then K-pop was definitely lead by the drama : Endless love. The first Korean drama that was shown on Singapore's channel. Very touching drama and I loved this song ever since..

OIAP attachment at Bendigo

Industry Attachment Programme results were out today. No one actually tells me about it, until I overheard people were talking..

So went to check the results...

In case you were interested in where I had been posted to...

Sembcorp Industries Ltd

9 March to 13 June ( 14 weeks )

then

Coliban Region Water Corp
Bendigo, Australia
15 June to 14 August ( 9 weeks )

Yeah!! I am going to Australia. You know I had been there twice, so going this time going to make it the 3rd time. I went to Perth for holiday. All I can remember is the coral which we went to dive. Then second time I went to Rockhampton, a off urban area or you can say it a small town. Thats where I went during Army for my oversea A tec training as a enemy. All I can remember was the cool and dry weather over there. Really shiok!!


At Perth with my parent for holiday


Taken at Rockhamton with Army friends for A tec training

I am super afraid that it will snow at Bendigo because it means that I had to pay more for winter wear. Although I would like to experience snow once in my life, I wouldn't like it to snow for the full 9 weeks of my attachment. I researched a bit on the net, With the average temperature of 12 degrees in July – the variation between the seasons is very pleasant. Bendigo is still one of the few places in Australia that you can enjoy all four seasons.

As I browse through my photo album, I saw some really adorable picture when I was young. Hmmm... I really look adorable!!



A lot of people say that I didn't change much since young. What do you think?

He sibei bastard

There was an old Chinese way of saying; 家家有本难念的经

Just as I thought that I had a wonderful life ahead, year 2009 wasn't so good for me after all. I heard a lot of broken families story and I really pity all my friend who had to bear with all the hardship since young. I was after all quite contented with my family background.

I had a nice and lovely mother at home. Bearing all expenses for our family without a single ranting at all. Despite my father occasionally played bastard on us. Stole our money and commit adultery and stuff, but as go as me and my mother are concern, we take it silently if no trouble was bring back to our house. But that was not the case now. Something changed.

Recently, my dad was acting all strangely. Kept reminding us not to open the door if someone was to knock on our door. He said it too often a time and of course we could smell something fishy. Giving us the reason was that he didn't wanna pay for TV license so people will come check on our house. But I thought he maybe borrowed money from people and didn't want to pay them back.

So yesterday, someone just came and knock on our door, so urgently and desperately as if he/she wanna break through our door. So father switches off all the TV and lights at home. Leaving me watching my lappie in the complete darkness. Helplessly trying to focus myself back on my show while the person like maybe keep knocking my door for the next 15 minutes.

Later that night, my mother returned home with a note in her hand, written in Chinese. It was meant for my mother and the content was as follows:

"要是这个车牌的主人是你们家主人的话。他现在带走人家的太太,留下丈夫孩子过个快乐年。他还说跟他太太是奉子成婚没感情随时可离婚娶她。那妇女离家还带走一些财物如不交人只好报警。 他现在是骗财骗色还把那女人带到新山也可告他逼良为娼。 请你们晓以大义叫他过年之前一定要友人出来,不然只好报警*抓人。"

Lazy to write out this one.

I don't really want to interfere his affair seriously. This is not the first time already. Third time, as far as I known off. How can he be so bastard to say that he marry because my mother is carrying me. This is so not true loh.

But my mother reaction was to laugh it off. She just read the notes and then put it on the table. I will never know if she is pretending to be not concern about my father or she had already given up on my father. For me, I had already given up on him. Initially, I really want my mother to divorce him. But I always don't understand why my mother never ask for a divorce. I felt that she no longer love him.

But during the night, I thought that she might not want to spent her rest of her life staying as a widow. It is quite pity for her to stay at home alone when next time I need to go out and work. So I reckon that maybe this is the reason for her not to think about divorce.

Today I went to return tai shui and came across this note to describe my fate for year 2009. They warned me not to run away from home which will affect my studies. Hmmm, maybe he refering to my family problem.

But new year's eve we still had our reunion dinner at IMM. Totally crap, the food suck because basically they are selling high class "zi cha". All the fried rice and hokkien mee on the menu, nothing else. So sian. They just basically act blur all the way. All of us didn't bring out the topic on my father adultery. He must have see the paper on the table this morning. He knew that we had put the note there, so basically no interrogation from my mother nor any confession from my father. I also join in the acting.



We "enjoyed" the dinner. So 有家的感觉。



Same model with mine, but why ppl mod till so nice??


Tomorrow I must go and return "tai shui" for my mother.

Last year my mother fan tai shui. I helped her to An tai shui, to ensure every thing goes well for the year 2008. And the practice is when you borrowed, you have to return it. Like libray books like that. Or else you get a fine or something. So tomorrow will be the last day of 2008. Date due for me to return "tai shui" le.

SO I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO RETURN TMR. I procrastinated for too long a time. Hai.



And then recently, I realized that some friends around me had been talking how much in love with him or her lah. Blah blah blah. So envy them, at least that got some target and falling in and out of love kind of stuff. But how come I don't have one leh. I thought I quite lovely mah, but how come no one wanna love me and stuff leh. And the problem is I can't even find someone to love :)

Life so lonely without someone to love. That's why no emo post on my blog. All event and crap entries. Hmmm I need to fall in love soon. I wanna get emo. Now my problem is, that I had no problem at all in life. Living so peacefully. Haha.

I wanna be like my friend, can write poem and song lyrics in my blog. Cry through sleepless night. Spend my lesson time thinking of her, talk about her. Wahaha, the thought of it makes me excited.

p/s: just very random ranting of crap. I don't really wanna fall in love on a second thought :)

BE BBQ and STRA testing

Okie, this is my 300th post. Yeah! Hmmm hahaha

Okie. had not been updating recently loh. I am down will some sickness. I can't describe but I think it was quite serious. Keep falling sick on and off like for 1 full week already. My body was strong always, until now...

Okie lets start off last friday, the BE BBQ night.


Cuties 09 main comm


But I think we are hotter!!!

It had been my "zao pai dong zhuo"
The infamous twist pose. Or just because that my expression for
taking photo was so limited. So I lazily just pose the same over and over again.

Sharon was the organizer and I think the event rocks loh. All was having fun and a lot of us was singing through the mic and amplify out for the big speaker, hoho. We had to use youtube as the source for the lyrics, and that's what I like about youtube. So useful for all purposes.


I was imidating the Jam Siao singing bei pan, wahaha

Okie, next. Let talk about the STRA tower testing.

So ironic that we had to spend 3 days to do the project for the ultimate purpose of destroying it. Design wise we were not among the most specticular one. However we managed to withstand a significant load of 87kg.

The rest of the tower didn't had the chance to test it. Cause basically they just tried to destroy their by stepping onto their poject. So techincally we are the so called strongest tower. Yeah!

Our tower also weighted the lightest so naturally we got the most load bearing to self weight ratios. Our concept was making use of the strongest triangle trusses, where the support between members were the strongest, theorically lah.

We were the 3rd tower, namely the 'tow-almight'. Among other like the "dark vader"

Suppose to put 4kg of load on each of our level so totalling of 12 kg on the structure, then follow by all other weights on the roof till it reaches failure. We put amost 87kg till the sound 'piah' notify us of sigh of failure.


2 second of breath-taking silents, followed by stumbling of the board that weighted 87kg. Wrecked our 3rd and 4th level. Everyone was evading fearing the weights could land on our feets.

Our 3 days of hard work ruined.

Friends friend friend

A lots of time I had always question myself, why am I in the situation that I am in now. Why am I still a student when all my friends are working hard to earn their living outside. Why I made all the wrong moves and landed myself in my situation. Who should I blame? Who influenced me and stuff like that.

If all matters broken down is called atoms then all possibilities and outcomes broken down is called choices. The fact that we choose to turn left instead of right in life affects the overall outcome of my life. Even if its the slightest decision to choose from gives a whole different possibility of result.

Therefore weather if it is an preferable outcome ultimately depend on the choices we made in our life. But ironically, we doesn't know what are the choices that we had to make to result in the most preferable situation we want it to be. So we could only relies on our experiences, our institution to choose our choices in life. If I think I choose this, I will get there then maybe I choose it. But in the end, it doesn't mean that we can get there even if we choose it.

Why do we scared to make decisions? Why do we fear something that we can't even have control over. We had the power to make decision but we don't have the power to make results. So what is the use of procrastinating our decision? Why fear to make choices when we can't even control the end result.

I think that when we facing the junction of choices. Don't hesitate to choose them. Because we don't know what is the outcome until we really choose them. Most importantly, we should not regret over the decision that we had made. I believe everything goes around, comes around. We should not be wasting time regretting, but to make use of the chance to learnt from our wrong mistakes. I believes that the best lesson are those that came from mistake.

I list 2 example of the things that I did that I felt proud off when I made a wrong choices

Detention Barrack:
I was sentenced to 2 week of DB just because I made a stupid decision to AWOL from camp. Going in, marks my record in life, I got the bad record in my file. But what are the uses of regretting in the cell. It can't turn back time. So instead I made used of the time to read religion books to enlighten myself. I see it as an opportunities for me to quit my smoking during the 14 days. So turned out, I achieved something when I came out. I got enlightened in some of the issue I faced in life. I know that I will never had to chances to do my self reflection if I wasn't inside.

Retake my O level 4 times:
I made wrong choice by not studying in school when I was young. I was being lead astray by bad accompany. But now I getting my scholarship and stayed very focus in study. I believe that if I were to study during my ex school days, I wouldn't be able to obtain these result I have now. There because all the exposure I got, all the experience I pick up in these years make me who I am today. I never regretted my choices

I believe in fate. Everything is fated in my l

guo an birthday celebration

Today's monday. I skipped class. STRA and WT which was the two very important module this semester. But due to the fact that I am very very sick, I never even felt so sicked before. I think either is I got a cold or must be food posioning from canteen 1. I really think the hygience level of the "yong tuo fu" wasn't up to standards. I seriously felt so sick that I wonder if I can go school tomorrow.

But nevertheless, I still went out yesterday for main com birthday celebration. It not that I acted strangely, but I having fever, headache and musclar ache. But at least I was still there right?

We meet up and then eat at "Astron". Somewhere in cathey that sell western food. They say cheap, I think okie okie loh. I spent $21 on my lamb and coffee. My lamb sucked, everyone busy munching on their food, like its super nice. I got a hard time finishing my food.

p/s: off track, actually while I am typing now, I can't really feel my finger tip. Like it was frozen, but on the fact I was wearing jacket and track pant? I really wonder, how my finger manage to loss so much heat?

After dinner we went to giraffe to chill out. Before that we sabo Guo An first. He is the president so he got special attention from Ms Amanda. Whaha. He smell so butterly after that.



anyway, we also help Benson and Junxian celebrate their birthday too.

Flash application lesson 2



My second flash assignment

The stuff learned today could enable me to construct a flash website. But just needs a little touch up. Cause I know it looks noob!

BE main committee camp

Long post ahead...

We went for a 3 days 2 night main committee camp to bond with shortlisted main com for the year 2009. We were very honor, thanks to Guo An for booking the school loft for us. We had a wonderful stay :) I mean, whatever worst thing happened in camp, but just the idea that we were able to stay at loft made this trip worthwhile. Beautiful scenery, fully conditioned and awsome bathroom, so what's more could we possibly ask for.







Day 1:

Okie, starting off by meeting at the deck and do some introduction between the main com, div 1 and div 2. Basically to familiarize with all the faces and their individual names. Play some name game and so on. First activities had to blindfold the participant including us and we had to walk to BE axis. So basically some bonding game and stuff.


In the end they looks like some bondage or hostage, haha

Look how nice our main com shirt is. But too bad, there are flaw (inside joke)

Basically they walked with eye closed and hands/legs tied all the way to blk 34

After we reached BE axis, we had our dinner and then basically sits around and talk, basically very slack for the whole camp. Or should I say that, it wasn't a camp actually. You know just like booking a chalet and you know, dawn the whole day and stuff like that. Till all the way to night, where we just took a walk to Bukit Timah Reserve, hmmm sort of more like an after dinner stroll :)

Head back to bunk and we main com basically just hang around together doing gossips and slept at 4am. While the new main com just stayed in their own room and sleep. I think we weren't so comfortable yet, anyway, it is only day one.


Day 2:

Day 2 activities are more pack and interesting I tell you. After breakfast, we brief them that we were going to dispatch them with some money, and they had to prepare a meal for us. They can shop and buy stuff and set up a lunch for us under the theme "BEACH". We had to do the same too only that we were on the theme "ROMANIC".

We went out to source for food and buy decoration, and I asked Amenda, Elis and XY to walk the retenting wall with me. Haha, we all got jellied leg half way and it is always so fun and exciting to walk.


When we got back, they starts to prepare for all the food and decoration


I think it was super nice.


Preparing the food

Went all the people settled in, we suppose to entertain and serve them. Put on their napkit and say our prayer before they start to eat. Although the food is not that fanastic but I know they will realise all our efforts that was put in.

We toasted to celebrate all the efforts of the sky rocking main com


Then I should moves on to the part which was prepared by the main com 09. Their theme is "BEACH".

I say that I am super impressed by them. They decorated the blue dolphin and it was really nice. The ambient really looks like we were at the beach, somemore the menu is really a bonus. I was really well done. So as to appreciate their efforts I going to write out the menu in words


Makan By the Beach's Menu

Sea greens

The finest selection of greens for the day, accompanied bylovely red cherry tomatoes, topped with mayo

B.b

Bikini burger, juicy beef/chicken fatty swollen fried, sandwiched with fragrant seasame buns.

The prawn-y chio crakers

Do we need to say more? Its the good OL' mouth watering chips


We all enjoyed this activities and followed by going to field there to play some wet games. Shooting each other with dyed water. Then we settled into BE axis for our night BBQ

Day 2 ended great, where we talk and chatted with the main com 09. After which we carried on in our loft and we talked till 6pm. All of them. I can see that through this camp, they really managed to bond with each other. Objective met!!

Day 3:

We decided to make day 3 most relax and cancelled all activities. We don't want to stress them up too much and also because all of us slept quite late in the night. Guo An also announced the individual position for the main com 09. He even did a 08 tribute for us. We appreciated.

Packed up axis and head by home.


I waiting for shi hua photo and tribuate clip to be posted on youtube. Next post will be the tribute for main com 08. Mean while enjoy the photo and you can grab the full version at
