Oh No... Procrastination...

The only thing (which seems unnecessary now) that keeps on bothering me is the current state of this blog... I wanted to implement a fresh new look to it. Although I love the old skin (My Gp03-D... took pains to take the photo of it), I wanted to make something plain simple and functional too. Also, I wanted to use another colour for my skin instead of the usual black. Also, the buttons are etc etc etc he he ha ha ho ho ... ... ALRIGHT!!! THIS HAS BOTHERED ME FOR 6 HOURS! I'm gonna KIV this issue!!

Test on Data Structure & Algorithm tomorrow, 8.30am! GAAAH! And I was doing the above shit.! After the test, what do I have to look forward to? Nothing... To put it negatively, I'd just have to look forward to more tutorials and tests... wicked...

Finally my Samsung F330 is spoilt! Sounds like I'm congratulating myself, but fact is, I'm kinna pissed of myself. I guess I didn't really took good care of it as I always slid my phone without thinking of the consequences.

I've managed to clear most of the stuffs in my Samsung, except for a few >160 word SMSes... sad. Now I am without a permenent phone and I'm currenly using the old Nokia 7610 that my mom used to carry. I thought I would settle for it but, it's battery drains too fast. Also, I'm contemplating on getting a cheap non-camera phone from 7-eleven or the post office the next morning. Or should I just get a replacement battery and keypad for the Nokia 7610? *sigh.. problem*

3 weeks of school pass like the wind. And the stuffs seems difficult. Perhaps they were true that Engineering in NTU is a killer... I hope I can find the steel within me. The steel that made me surf through Poly.

My phone's getting faulty...

Usually when I make a call, I would hear the "connection tone" followed by the ringing tone whenever I am dialed through the opposite party's number. However, for the past few days, I have noticed that the both tones seem inaudible... few thoughts came up my mind. First, network problem. 2nd, the opposite party's phone problem. 3rd, my phone's problem.

True enough, it was my phone's problem. In order to make a call, I have to slide up my phone (a Samsung SGH F330 Music Edition). Whenever I slide down the phone, the call disconnects. Simple enough.

I realized the fault just now, when I was chatting on the phone. In the midst of chatting, I tried gently prodding the phone's top downwards, and true enough, the line breaks, and I am unable to hear any of the recipient's voice. Perhaps it's fault is due to prolonged usage. And sometimes, I would slide my phone down in a rough way... perhaps, this is why it's faulty now...

Dammit, I feel like getting a new phone now... perhaps, I would trade in this phone for a new one..

It has already been a week since school started. Man, at times I feel lonely in school due to the fact that the guys from my previous class in poly (who were eligible for university) were either in NS or waiting for it. Kinda embarassed to admit it, but, at times I would wonder aimlessly in school or find some spot to sit down and idly press my handphone while waiting for the next lecture to start. And during the lectures, I'd be spending most of my time alone.

Luckily during mid of last week, I unexpectedly bumped into Wei Wang while on the way to school. I was surprised that he entered the same school and the same course as me. But unfortunately, his timetable was different from mine. But at least, lectures are almost the same. There were others that I knew too, such as Zheng Jie and Nicholas, both of whom are from SP, but I'm not that close to them previously, and, It's just wierd.. oh well...

There were several new people I met in school too. Such as Daniel's friends, Dhanny, Hadi and Michael Tom, all of whom are final year students. People from my level incuded Wei Kiong ,Hui Chi and Branda (All from the 1st Lab lesson). Hope to meet more new people, especially Year 2. Else, university life will be hard to go by i guess...

With Friends Only!

2nd Aug '09 - Sunday night at Neverland (Old Sparks) with Melvin, Hans, Taj, Rowena, Eric, and the others, shufflers, ravers... all of them!

7th Aug '09 - Boat Quay A971 Cafe with Daniel Lim & David Howe. Good food with good ambiance, like good ol' times!

Marks & Spencer - End

Finally 2 months of work at M&S has ended. And I feel so relieved that there's some free time before I go for my 2 weeks of ICT. On the other hand, I kinda missed that place, those people working with me, and the $$$. Kinda easy job I must say. Before I left, Wendy Tang got me 2 bars of chocolates and Joy got me a tube of M&S shower gel. They are really nice people and I will never forget them.

Alright, I'm gonna take this opportunity to rest for these few days before 2 weeks of training commence. Wonder will it be better as compared to the last one...

Terminator Salvation

Above: Connor(left) and Wright face to face. This was the moment when Wright discovered the true nature of himself...

Above: The T-600, a predecessor to the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger). It's a cyborg that wields a minigun! Fierce!

Terminator salvation was a blast for me!! The movie is packed with lots of action that simply blew my mind away! Also (unlike T3), the movie has a certain essence of the "human touch". The prototype cyborg, Marcus Wright (Played by Sam Worthington) used to be a prisoner on a death penalty. Before dying he decided to donate his body to Skyney company for research (for the good of mankind I presume). And years later, after Skynet became "self-aware", he was "resurrected" with only his heart and brain within a chasis of a cyborg. Essentially, he is a Terminator with a mind of his own. However, after he realized that he was "manufactured" anguish overtook him and he refuses believe that he's machine. Although created by Skynet as the perfect infiltration weapon, he helps the human resistance in their fight against Skynet. In the end (much like what the T800 did to himself), Wright sacrificed himself by giving his heart to the mortally-wounded John Connor (played by Christian Bale). As what Wright said, "Everybody deserves a 2nd chance, and I've got mine".

I had always wanted to watch a Terminator movie that portraits the events after "Judgment Day". And after reading reviews about the director MCG (can't recall what's his full name), I kinda got apprehensive that the movie would turn out good. Afterall, MCG was the director of Charlie's Angels! After watching it, I feel that MCG did a good job synthesizing all the different bit's and pieces from the previous Terminator movies and created a story with a rather good plot. Congrats to MCG for finally making a good movie!

From the way the story flows, my guess is that there will be a next installment to the Terminator series! Please! More terminaotors, but keep the storyline good!
