Phase 3: Still Project Raduga extends HazelSky System

Currently working on products list still. Coming out with an update page that is workable. It's around 70% done. I just need to settle another page on the change of images, and I am done! The rest of the things, I guess, will have to depend on the rest. I wondered how the hell we are going to find the time, since they are going for oweek brief which lasts 4 days…

I will be the one doing? Can I swallow all the $$? Hahahaha

This little project can be done within 1 week. It's not hard. We just need to divide and conquer.

And working on this little application reminds me of the post that I have held in JC: Computer Club, head of department for Applications, supposedly to apply html and stuff like that. Applications without any C++ programming knowledge is somewhat impossible. I managed to survived that one year doing nothing though. I was somewhat forced to take up that post. There's no one who knew more html/javascript things than me at that time in there. And I did not have a good team. I could not do what I wanted to do. People who joined Computer Club were more interested in online games than those boring stuff. No team meant that I was on my own.

Computer club. Ha! Why did I joined such a club? The reason was very simple. I had not much choice.

All the sports required previous experience, and there's selection. They only wanted the best, so what could I do, someone who was in TAF club, who went early to school to run twice in a week? What could I do, being quite oversized? People tend to generalize that fat means clumsy. Maybe they are right. Perhaps they are wrong.

Actually, I think I had treated TAF club more like a ECA. Thinking of it, it's quite shiok to run early in the morning. The fresh air… The bad thing was the morning assembly. Although we had permission to assemble in our PE attire, it was not a good feeling singing the national anthem, saying the pledge, and on certain days, the school song, and then listening to people reading some paragraphs from the Bible and then bow our heads in morning prayer with all the sweat dripping here and there. This was not the worst. Our tutorial rooms were all air-conditioned!!! We had to go into the tutorial rooms to place our bags before we went to the toilet to change, and the tutorial room was sooooooo cold!

Who were 'we'? I only remembered me and Tzu Hon. There were 2 more I think. I wondered if KS and Sumerry were in also? Ahh.. those were the days, when Tzu Hon and me would run our required number of rounds, and then went behind to the chin up bars to train our pullups.

It was shiok, to be able to do pull ups. We sure put several lighter-weighted guys to shame… We could do it! Some of them could not! Hahahaha!!!

But ofcourse, they had became fitter, after NS.


Bball this afternoon was not that great. First was the gloomy weather before I went out. The weather was very humid. And it rained on and off. And I was not really concentrating on playing. I wondered what I was thinking of. I was thinking nothing I guess. Not even the ball. I missed shots. I was slow at rebounds. Just CMI.

And Zhixiang managed to sprain his ankles again, I think, after landing on my foot. No problems with my foot though. It's always the one on top that got hurt. The bottom one are always the more lucky ones.

Well, hope he recovers soon. And I was asking him if he wanted to swim and go to Sim Lim also, some time before he got that sprain. 1 less swimmer now.

Well, he was not really in that frequently-swimmed-swimmers for the past 1 month, but he had just re-joined the swimming gang. Hmmm… too bad?


Currently listening to Gundam Seed Destiny's sound tracks. Some were very nice! I realised that quite a number of people are also watching this anime! Nice! It's a bit of a continuation from Gundam Seed. Yeah. It's in Japanese, with english subtitles. I love the songs~~~ lalalallaaaaa~~~

“Life goes on~~~”

Phase 3: Poseidon Mass Bday Celebrations

Alright! We went to Fish & Co for dinner just now! People who appeared were Caiqun, Fen, Jiahui, Chun Jian, Junrong, Lionel, Wei Min, and me. Edwin was slightly late, but he took an earlier ferry back to SG from Bintan to have dinner with us. Even Ben managed to shake off Marie (erm, ok. Marie let him off) and joined us after we had our dinner!

Actually, for this outing, the only people on time were Junrong and Fen. Hahaha.. we were all late! Chun Jian and I were on our way on bus 7 from Clementi, after discussing on our project in school. Wei Min and Jiahui were at Far East. Caiqun and Lionel were on their way from work.

We were all typical SG-trained. Or, maybe, wedding-dinner-trained… Kiasu for freebies, always late for dinners…

It's standard. Every outing, setting the time half an hour earlier always work. Never say the exact time for an activity.

Who were we missing? 1 couple. One had to go home for a family dinner, and then decided it's too late to come out, and the other said “something on”.

What can I say? I have nothing to say. If I am going to say anything, it's going to be nasty… I better keep my mouth half-shut.

A celebration for 5 bday people, with 4 at the birthday cake. 5 sets of presents, 4 sets given away. 1 left for Caiqun to take home again.

Anyway, we had fun crapping away and eating and playing pool at Paradiz Centre after that. I shared a Seafood Platter for 2 with Chun Jian. After eating the prawns and mussels, I placed the shells nicely back onto Junrong's empty pan, and the photo's with Jiahui! Hahaa… at that time, I forgot I had an acceptable camera right in my pocket, so I did not snap any pictures. Never mind, shall get it from Jiahui one day and use it as something… I will tell what is that something when I think of it.

And today's taxi trip back from town, there's only Wei Min to split the cost with me, as Jiahui went off after dinner, supposedly to find her honey? -lol-

I think I need to sleep. If I did not remember wrongly, I will be having another outing later in the evening, at City Hall. Sunday bball as usual. Monday, swim as usual, then go shopping with Ashley as promised. Tuesday, I shall think about it.

Now I have a very serious problem. A problem that always gives me problems. A problem so big that it takes some time for me to accept any decision. And the decision is often the same old one.

 

……

Should I cut my hair?

Phase 3: Modification of link list.

I have decided to remove links from my link list. Some have been removed, and some just don't bother to update anymore. That's no point in linking to pages that are called 'blogs' but the entries were like, 1 month + old…

Kill the link.

London's still very ?. Today's ST carries a frontpage that is totally opposite from that of yesterday. More than 10 pages of headlines. CNA reports.

Hmm…

Never mind. Think I will be going out later. Back to school. Settle stuff. Haizz… school's starting soon. I need time to get back to books… But before books, there's more…

Phase 3: Add-on- Project Raduga: Bomb And Bomb..

Went swimming in the morning, and then went with Zhixiang to do some shopping at Ikea and Queensway. He finally bought a pair of basketball shoes! Good good… and not too ex too! After that, I took 33 to Clarke Quay to find Marie to settle that contract thing.

Oh well. I am bounded by a contract now. Project Raduga. Nice name?

After that, I took buses home. Saw that news on TV Mobile, and I think, OMG… Blasts here and there? What are they trying to show? What are they out to prove? What do they want?

Why?

I have no idea. Melvin and I have been thinking of ideas (some funny, some serious) just now, over MSN. Interesting, regarding the amount of crap we generated…

I hope friends in London now are ok. No sms reply as usual (refer to previous blog if you like). Haiz…

Maybe… I should try something…

Haiz…

Phrase 3: Cloudy Day…

It's a sunny and a cloudy day, and the rain just refuses to fall… And I don't really like that. I want rain!

And time to crap a bit. I think I should cut back on sms usage? Of 10 smses that I sent, if it is a good day, I will receive about half of replies. And I am not sending crap. I am sending out an sms QUESTION. You know, those types that end with a question mark? This little question mark? Can't see?

Can see now?

I don't like to talk to a wall on MSN, and I also don't like to sms to a wall! Overseas people are excused, however. Here I am, asking a question, and expecting an answer, but even after 24 hours, there's no reply! Ok, those who chose to give me their replies on MSN are let off with a lighter sentence, but certainly not those MIA people. Why should I use up my sms just like that?

Why should I ever send sms?

A particular someone is the worst. No mention of names. You know who you are, and you should think about it. No replies through MSN or sms. Even though MSN status is online. That's what I call a wall. A wall that absorbs everything in without giving anything out.

A selfish wall if you like.

How to break the wall? I don't care. If a wall wants to be a wall, carry on. Not my problem. You can be your wall, and I can be my water. Water can't pass through a good wall, so make sure you have a good one.

I don't really like to use this way, but, if there's no choice, I might have to. No quick sms replies to a wall. No immediate MSN replies to a wall, even if I am right in front of my comp.

If you have not received a reply from me for a long period of time, you know why. Think about it.


Why walls exist? The great news is that, walls are created when people are attached, or in the process of it. It's a kind of happy news. Yeah, I am happy with the news. People will tend to reply faster if they are not attached. So far so true. Walls to keep me out of all their sweet words and crap.

Do I care much about that? No. I just want my reply. Who cares what they are doing. Not my problem.

If this is the way, so be it.


This is the crap that I have wanted to crap about. Done.

Phase 3: Swim And Swim… And Eat And Eat…

Today, I think I ate more than what I worked out. No choice… Have to settle this “debt”.

Went to swim with the usual 2 other people this morning (Yingzi and Jianliang). The weather was hot hot hot! But I think it’s not a bad day to swim. Besides the hot sun, there’s alot of people too. I wondered how some girls managed to go swim at that time. Looks quite young somemore. Maybe ponteng school, or poly, or potential classmates for certain modules next sem… lol

Ponteng… haha long time never use this word…

And I think I have somehow “discovered” the best way to swim (for me). Felt shiok. With that shiok feeling, I swam a bit more than half the pool’s length in one breath. Shiok.

After that, Jianliang and I stoned at the learning pool. Yingzi went off. Too hot for her. Haha… Yeah sun’s bad for girls… bad for me too… I am becoming black.. the part wear the swimming trunk was is another colour… well… We stoned till 1pm, and then we went off to Mac to use wi-fi using my laptop. Suddenly, alot of secondary and primary school kids came, and Mac transformed from a quiet place to a fish market… Haiz…

We stoned at Mac till 2.30pm, then we went into West Mall for sushi buffet at Sakae! Before that, I went into World of Sports and grabbed a bball!!
bball_2005
There’s still a 15% discount, so I grabbed it before the discount’s gone…

Eat and eat. What else to say. No chance to stack up the plated because they cleared them for us at a rate that was much much faster than Sakae@ NUS. The rice still managed to drop off though. And we ate… and ate… till 4.30pm. Quite full. Not really that nice, but edible.

Went home after that. Tired. I think I will like to sleep early today too. I have been sleeping quite early these few days…

I shall complain about some things tomorrow. About replies.

Phase 3: Still stuck At Calendar…

Realised today that, my calendar thing is going to take me a lot more time than I expected, which makes me wonder if I should continue to work on it…

Should I? Well… or maybe I just copy some free stuff from somewhere…

Maybe I will just carry on working on it. Take my time.

Today was bball day. In the end, let's see who turned up. Linchuan, Junguang, Xianglong, Victor. The rest? Zhixiang and Weida injured their legs last week, so they were off. Chun Jian was too tired, so he did not come. Dennis MIA, I nothing to say. Jason and co PS Linchuan, so I have nothing to say too. And Mr Xu slept!

“I will be there.” Yeah right.

So in the end, the rest gone off, leaving Victor and me. And so we played for a while, till 4pm… under the hot sun. At least there's a good view… Hmm…

I think I should get myself a bball. I really think I should. But the price is stopping me… But then, I usually buy things without really looking at the price tag… wahahaa…

A Sunday gone…. welcome, Monday… hmm…

My entries are getting shorter and shorter? Haa… because I write as I am doing something else, and when I come back and write, I will forget about what I am going to write. And then, when I remember it some days later, then I will write…

So for the time being.. nothing! Hahahaaa…

Phase 3: Travelling Here and There…

Went out at 11am to travel to Clark Quay MRT station to meet Ben and CJ. Then we went over to where Marie is currently working at. For a 'secret meeting'. Classified. Shhh…

After that, we guys went to PS to have lunch. Saw Yong Yao at KFC! Wow! Long time never see him! But then he's clearing leave (finally) and he looked great! Well, I had his MSN 2 months ago, so, 'losing contact' is not in the dictionary at the moment..

And then, Ben and I went walking around. CJ had to go prepare for his bball session. And I saw Alex outside Giordano! Well well… it's always PS that I will see lots of people I know… Everytime, I will manage to find someone I know at PS…

What can I say?

Took NEL to Harbourfront. Ben went back to Clark Quay to meet Marie. I went up to the 3rd floor to look at the new electronics store, BIG! Yeah, it's really BIG!!!! It takes up almost the whole of the 3rd floor. At a particular area, the glass windows enable people to look at the sea view. Nice… and people were all lining up to pay for their “catch of the day”. I saw the queue, and I decided to get out of the place.

After walking around for a while, I went to take 143 to JE. So lucky, the bus broke down at Pasir Panjang! I walked back to the bus stop, and I missed 188! Before that, I missed TWO 51s just because I was stuck on the stairs of the double decker bus while other people were flashing their ez-link card to get the refund… In the end, I took 143 again…

And this was one Saturday gone… I want to sleep…

Haiz…

Phase 3: Stars and Stars.. and Fibonacci number and PHI…

Finished The Da Vinci Code! Yay! So interesting! Too good a book to be missed! How the various things link up…

Suddenly, I was visiting the search engine, searching for Da Vinci, The Last Supper, Madonna of the Rocks, Fibonacci number, phi, etc etc… wow…

Phi is an interesting number. 1.618.

Many things can be learnt from Fibonacci sequence. Finding the sides of a triangle, etc. I've even learnt some tricks. Next time try on somebody, see if it works. Interesting Maths. And I learnt that 9876 * 11 = 108636 without using a calculater…

Looks like I have been very free today. Yes, indeed I am. I stayed at home the whole day today! No where to go, no wish to go out. That's how I managed to finish that book. It certainly tempts me to go to the arts museum to have a look! But poor me don't have the money to travel, and definitely not when everything is in Euros… EU$ basically is 2 X S$…

Next time maybe…

I think I can stop dreaming about work. It's July! No one will want anyone who can work only for… 3 weeks? Unless Veranne surprises me with a phone call, which I think is quite unlikely. What to do? Hope lor…

Tomorrow's Saturday. What's up on Saturday?

Who knows. I hope it will rain!

Rain rain rain, falling here and there…
Falling on my head, falling everywhere…

Hahahaa… SlackzzzzzZ

Phase 3: Data Entry… Or Re-Entry….

Took 1-2 hours to completely correct around 250 blog entries. Errors with the date thing. Some were totally off, while some were lagging behind by 13 hours. 13 hours is the offset for me. The server is located somewhere in this world where the time offset is GMT -5. Since Singapore is GMT +8, in order to display the time in SG, I will have to add 13 hours to the time generated by the server….

But then, come think of it, it's quite a stupid act… Why can't I just convert the time to GMT time? Then +8 later? …

… never mind… will think about this another time.

The database fixing has already given me quite a bad headache. I think I need to rest soon. Ouch…

Had a fun run in the morning! Fun run as in, leisure, slow, workout. Cooling to the point that it started to drizzle. Had to go home soon after it started drizzling to take in the laundry. The rain played quite a few tricks on me! I was like doing biceps training with bamboo poles…

It's July already!!! Oh well! July!!! What's the big deal about July anyway? Hmm… never mind. It's July!!!

Crapp…
