Project Dendrobium: Phase 1 (4/11/06)

Below: The magnitude of the packaging...

Below: The magnitude of work that I have to undertake!

Below: End of Day 1... Stamen is wow'ed at dendrobiums height!
Below: Another angled shot. See the awestruck expression of stamen?

After 5 freaking years being left on the shelf, Project Dendrobium went underway! I believe it to feels that after sitting on my desk for ages, it feels its time that it assembles itself. But I am not going to let it have its way! Haha! I started off, by taking all the plastic mesh out of its packaging and laying it all over the floor. After all that is done, a feeling of lazyness washed over me. "Do I really have to do this???" Without thinking, its assembly time. I started with both the skeletal piston for the large beam sabers. This excludes the armour plating for it; just the skeletal internals. Then, I proceeded to make the stand, a small portion of the Dendrobium's bottom hull and the forward-central part in which both large weapon containers would be later attached. One of the problems encountered is the fixing of the skeletal piston arms. Apperently one of the parts to guide the pistons refuse to join together perfectly (So much for flawless Bandai model kits...) I managed to it by slicing off a portion of a 'male' part to attach to a 'female' part. As a result one of the arms were done up while the other is still pending modification. The other arm is attached to hard and I would have to fix it another day.

Character Development - Learning how to be a poser.

I had always thought the module Character Development (CD) is something which is easy to breeze through as there would be an expected darth in homework. I was wrong. Assignments and projects are a must to successfully complete this module. Well, what really bothers me most is the attitude of this particular person. While most lecturers and tutors show professionalism in their work ( be it the ever-cool teaching styles of the PEEE teachers or the blah-blah style of teachings exhibited by the maths lecturers), my CD tutor (I refuse to name her to protect her dignity). She somewhat displays an air of arrogance and false-goodness. False-goodness in the sense that she is acting as if she is the perfect human being that has never ever sinned in life! And she always give the look as if she is 10 or 20 levels aloft of us as students. I still remember last week. I came to school in a sweater with a hood. Under the sweater, I wore my 5-SIR sleeveless tee. At that time, the classroom was quite stuffy, so I helped myself by removing the sweater. The CD saw what I did and said...

MrsAngel: "Did you know that wearing singlets in school is not allowed?"

Kev: "I didn't know that such a rule exist. But I am feeling hot..."

MrsAngel: "Yes, there is such a rule. Your attire is so revealing. By the way don't forget there are young ladies in the class too. I give you 5 mins to cool down. Later I want you to put your sweater back on."

Kev: "..."

zzz...

Today, I got the results of SPROG. I was disheartened. I think my results were the second lowest in class. Lots of people got 95-98-99 because they only made minor errors in their psudocodes. For me, my psudocode screwed me up. Pretty surprised of myself as I was stunned for 15 plus minutes. I guess I won't be taking things that I have learnt before that lightly...

Muther Fuhker!

I'm very shy to reveal my gold and silver plated teeth!

All the bling bling in this picture is bought by Uncle Huat. Its meant for people like Ju or Sam and not meant for me. When Uncle Huat showed me the good, I was stupified! haha! However, my hands got itchy and I just tried them on. Two knuckle busters and a G-Unit chain (The cross in the middle spins!) I'll take ya to the candy shop yorr~!

If only...

A friend of mine had her life smudged with unpleasent events. From what I heard, it was a secondary school acquaintance that caused all these troubles for her. The "assailant", Age unknown, sex unknown, looks unknown... This person did hell lot of despicable acts. Most evil one is hacking into her E-mail, blog, MSN and Maplestory account and did all sorts of funny stuffs... probably masqurade, defacing, alteration of informations, spouting verbal abuses and sorts.

The hacker's activities were relentless and even though everything seems fine, his/her verbal abuses continue to pepper my friend's blog. I guess nothing can be done to mediate this problem, only sit, see, wait and counter the abuse and threats. Probably a recommendation: Ignorance is bliss? I guess it might work in this situation.

This is the already the 3rd week of the new semester. Time really flies fast... Still remember during my primary/secondary/JC days I always pray that time will fly faster so that the holidays will come. Now as my youth slowly seeps out of me ( exaggerated), I pray that time will crawl. Lots of regrets... regrets of the things I left unaccomplished years before...

My new phone!

Samsung SGH-X820! Reportedly the world's slimmest phone at only 6.9mm at its thinnest. Small, sleek and slim. Like most phones today, it comes with a digital camera (2 Megapixels), has bluetooth and Mp3 player. However, the limitations of this phone is that there is no extendable memory. I.E to say, there is no space for a memory card. 80MB of space available only.
