Went for the rSAF Open House yesterday morning with Quan Hui. Since there wasn't much to do in the morning, and it's the 1st time rSAF is having an Open House. Took a few pix here and there. Didn't really bother to try the flight stimulator, or getting into the cockpit of a plane/helicopter, as the queue is dumb. Queue for an hour, just to get into the cockpit of a plane/helicopter, and sit in there for less than 10seconds.

Here are the the photos.


At the entrance of the Air Craft Museum, metal detection.

yup! I'm left with 8 hours 25 mins, and ticking down to do the last paper. This is going to be so exhilarating! Words are flowing into my mind non stop, yet I feel that I'm being over flooded. Does human brain has a capacity of how much they can memorize?

I guess an hour of sleep should be sufficient. Hopefully there wouldn't be too much side effects from bad sleeping habits. Heaty, nose bleed, pimples, white hair, etc. lol.

On the other hand, after this paper.. There's so much .. SOOOO MUCCHHH stuffs that I wanna do!! I can finally "deflower" my CX900 this coming Saturday!! Will be going to snap loads of pix of my new limbs. The looks of it, is just too magnificent. =D

Finally.. Peace and Tranquility..
For the record.. while installing Norton360, the registry files for my wireless lan adaptor got corrupted and I had to send in for servicing again.. 3 days after receiving it back.
And Thus.. I've learn quite a few skills from this life experience.

Lesson No.1:
BACK UP THE F*KING HARDDISK B4 YOU START ANYTHING!! T.T

Lesson No.2:
GET ALL THE HIGH-PRIORY WINDOWS UPDATE B4 BACKING UP!

Lesson No.3:
Learn to relax and bluff the service centre, even thou it was my fault, I just have to blame it on their poor and lousy service for this accident ^^;;

Thus.. my laptop is currently in a Ready-To-Download state!!
Cheers!! Time to download those anime that I've missed from the last week.

Either way, I'm left with my last paper. Rapid Prototyping. It's simply the best and un-understandable module in this current semester. Should be quite thankful for "Fruitful and Entertaining" lectures.

We, the students of DBEN are so proud to procrastinate that the lecturer just sucks to the core!

Till Friday.. hell shall break loose.

crap.. been too busy with my laptop and stuffs.. and before I know it.. I'm left with 1 and a 1/2 days of revision for both Mechanics 3 and Organization Management Exams. Going to have to reduce my sleeping hours and increase my concentration power to endure through this 2 major papers.

After stopping renegade for nearly 1/2 a year, I find that it's still a very amazing and fun game to play. It has the element of teamwork, pwnage, sniping, dodge fighting, etc. As long as you have friends in the game, I don't see how you can get bored with it. =D

After delivering my laptop for servicing (took back to make backup) again, my mom bought me a new pair of shoes for running! ^^;; Teva, wraptor series. It costs $160.. T.T Well, she told me that price of not of my concern since she's paying for it.. but I still feel resentful about it, rofl.

It's light, airy, and feels very comfortable. The next time I go for a jog, or to the gym, I'll push myself and try it out :P

Till then.. MUG!! MUG!!!! I WANT MY A's!!!

Recently I had some problems with my windows installer system in my laptop. Had it since I updated the windows update. It happened just before I bought my CnC3. So installing the game was quite a hassle, but it still wasn't much of a deal to me. I just had to use my desktop to install the game into my portable harddisk, then export the registry into my laptop, change the install path, etc. But seriously.. it's really irritating to have this crappy problem. I can't install any updates, add-on, etc, practically anything that requires "Windows Install Sheild; Windows Installer" in order to procede on to the setup.

Earlier today, I had found a cure to this dumb crap. By checking the windows installer logon option to "Allow service to interact with desktop" and changing the startup mode to "automatic", the windows installer magically worked again. So I quickly tried to install CnC: Renegade into my laptop.

Before I could do that.. out of no where my FireFox Browser or Internet Explorer kept have the error of.. "FireFox/IE could not access to (server name; http://yahoo.com.sg)" So I decided to reboot the laptop.. BAM!! BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! !@#$!
And the most crap part was.. I retried rebooting in the following config:-
safe mode
safe mode and command promt only
last known configuration that worked
start windows normally

They all resulted in the blue screen of death that lasts for a split second, followed by a restart. There wasn't even enough time for me to read what was the error code etc.. Just came back from the service centre at Funan IT mall.. had to pay a diagnostic fee of $80 upfront, before they even check what's wrong with it.. fortunately parts is still covered, so what ever hardware that they diagnosed is spoilt, they would replace them foc for me =)

Hoping to hear good news in 3-5 days T.T
Mean while it's a good time for me to take a break from my laptop, and start mugging for my upcoming semestral examinations.. Lol.

AY 2008/2009 S1 Class Outing..

Had RP lesson in the morning, followed with FYP stuffs at the RPC..
As I had just bought CnC3 and Kane's Wrath, I decided to play a little while they were experimenting on the PCL/HA composites. It was kind of a failure as we needed theoriatically 120 degree celcius* (dc) to get the HA to melt down.. the oven at the RPC could only heat up to 100 dc. The other alternative was to head over to the Ematl Lab 2 and ask the TSO over there. He offered us the furnace that can heat up to 300-330 dc. There will be a few complications if we use that furnace.. firstly, the PCL/HA will probably turn into vapour or something.. secondly, there is no way we can observe the change in the state of the PCL/HA composite as the furnace is to be closed up. The other alternative that we came to a conclusion, was to use the heating plate. Together with a sturdy thermometer, we could observe the change in temperature, and see the change in state of the PCL/HA.

During the time while we were using the oven at the RPC to heat up the PCL/HA to 100 dc to check if it would melt into liquid form. We were having fun playing CnC3 Kane's Wrath!! Jonathan was commenting how strong Scrin's battleship were, etc. So I decided to let him try and prove it to me, against a *Normal AI* on skirmish mode. He got pwned up pretty badly when the AI attacked him.. for obvious reasons, you can't bring out tier 3 units fast and efficiently enough.. rofl. Then the newbie lexy wanted to try out against the *Normal AI* that Jonny couldn't win against. And try again he shall. and Again, AnD agAIN! LOL!
Finally on his 4th try (3 retries in total), he managed to defeat the *Normal AI*

All this time, Edmund and I were impatiently staring and commented at his super atheletic skills at the game.. when Lex finally won the game, Edmund went for *BRUTAL AI*!! He died in 5 mins. And I tried as well.. well.. I died in 5 mins as well.. LOL. Stupid steam roller tatic.. totally couldn't defend against 20 units + epic, with barely 10 crappy units..

Time flies and it was evening. Lex had to go collect his pay check at New Urban Male.. since it was near to PS, I accompanied him over to collect his pay check, then went to PS. Meet up at Plaza Singapura at 7pm+, then waiting at Mahantan Market for space. There were only 12 of us over there, so we had to wait for a total of 3 tables. The meal there was quite an experience, unique, filling, and not that expensive as compared to Fish and Co. Lol.

Since they had a 10% discount for DBS credit card payment, I offered to pay for the bill.. a total of S$263.20 . Will be collecting back my money.. hopefully soon.. Lolx.

Yay!! I'm super crazy today.
Went out to bugis with Ash this afternoon.
Had lunch together at Fu Lou Shou complex, eating chicken rice.
Chat about his field camp, army life, etc.
Also talked about play-asia, and their discount coupon..

Then went window shopping at Sun Shine Plaza.
See the Hayate figurine picture, had the super irritated feeling..
Thus I did something to get rid of this thorn in the heart.
(read on to find out, LOL!)

Nothing much nice to purchase, and I still had spare time before heading over to my "Yi Po" house to celebrate National Day. So we went to Sim Lim Square. Ash wanted to get guitar heroes for his ps3. The cheapest offer was $370 for the entire set so far. He wanted to share the game with his bro, but ended up, his bro had no interested, so he gave up the idea.. lol.
However, he still might consider guitar heroes for his DS. Of course there won't be anything to wack about, haha.

After inquiring around about his ps3, wii, and ds games. I bought CnC3 + Kane's Wrath, for S$89. I quite liks CnC RTS. So I bought it, together with the expansion.

Following that, Ash went home, and I headed to "Yi Po's" house.
Celebrate for awhile, until around 8-9pm, then go home..
Check my email.. saw mails regarding the $10 off coupons for play-asia, decided to give it a go.. and.. WA LA!!! I HAVE PRE-ORDERED YAGAMI HAYATE!! =D Got rid of my irritating feeling which kept brothering me earlier in the evening!!

And great.. my laptop is corrupted or something.. the windows installer service could not be accessed... how do I install my CnC3 now?

Another free day.. (skipping gems) lolx
Was suppose to meet up at 10am at SP to do FYP -_-
Our leader sms us in the night and told us he couldn't make it, so Jon and I decided to continue on Monday instead. After all, I'm still having my dumb sinuses -_-

Just recalled that I have not done my OM quiz which has 10% module weight age..

User	CHENG MIN ZHI HORACE DBEN/FT
Submitted	8/8/08 10:21 AM
Name	OM_Quiz
Status	Completed
Score	9 out of 10 points

Oh well.. got 1 question incorrect, still ain't that bad =D

Later have PA Gathering BBQ again -_-
Counting the current chairperson as the youngest (son) , I'd be considered the great-great-grandfather of the PA family branch.. hehz..
I'll probably be going over der in the evening, help out a bit and catch up with the others while hanging out.

My grandfather was cremated on Monday.
So today my mom and a few others went to collect his ash and small pieces of bones. Now I need to spend time recovering from my sinuses. Been a few days since I had it already.

Today go school only for OM revision, and RP mini project.
Thx to Mr. Chua, we just have to provide multiple scans of different treshold. The application of applying glue or some sort of solution to the model itself after it has been fabricated will be done by him. xD

He told us that in his last life, he owe the students. So in his current life, he is repaying us.. LOL. What an excuse for not wanting extra trouble in cleaning up the lab =x
Anyway, it isn't that difficult to apply the solution to the fabricated model, but the trick is after applying the solution, you have to hang it up, and drip it try.. our dumb rabbit skull looks so flimsy, as if it could be crush just by sneezing onto it.. -_-

But at last, everything will be cared for by Mr. Chua, ho ho ho =x
Cheers!!

And lastly.. I HAVE PRE-ORDERED SIGNUM!! lawl!
Will be looking forward to my new collection =D

Been quite pre-occupied with the death of my grand father.
He died on Thursday afternoon at 2pm
C.O.D. - Late Stage Pancreas cancer
At least he pass away peacefully, as I believed he was sleeping at that time.
This would be the 4th relative that has died since my birth.
My grand mother (Mother side) died when I was 4 mths old
My Great grand mother (Mother side) died when I was around 6 years old.
My Uncle (Father's brother) died a few years back.
And now, it's my grand father (Mother side).

If you ask if I'm sad or anything; I'm not particularly that close with him for the past few years, so nope. But I would definitely miss him. He used to take care of me when I was younger. That was when I was still schooling at primary school.

Either way, I will be pretty busy for this few days; have to help out at the wake.
Yesterday, around a total of 30 people came over to the Singapore Casket to visit us.
Think there will be more today, since Jowyne invited her friends over.. =/

Any of my friends want to come? Sms or call me! lol.
You can visit me, anytime until Sunday night.
Monday he will be cremated, so yeah.. skipping school >_>
since the cremation is in the morning at 9am (around der)

Oh well, I will play a few rounds of dota before going over there and help out! =D
Will be taking a photo of my grand father later today =d
