A New Beginning

It is the end of semester! When I was in NS, every time when I was outfield, I will be telling myself "fuuck this shiit I would rather be studying, I'm gonna study so hard in Uni to rise above the fked up officers and underqualified specs." Now that I am 1 semester away from graduating, I say the same thing but a shorter version :" fuuck this shit."

A quick review of this semester and a few conclusions:

1) I got carried. Hard.
2) NM modules are a fking joke.
3) I got carried. So Hard.
4) Gonna get lung cancer from FYP.

1) The only reason I am not retaining/expelled in/from SOC is because I am being carried. This sem I had no clue what was going on in CS4243 and 1 of my group member finished the project on his own and had one of the highest scores against groups of ah nehs and ah tiongs. He has carried me from year 1 to year 4 and I swear in my FYP acknowledgement section I will honor his ass with my heart and soul. Not only CS4243. CS2102 project I also got carried, I only wrote the report which was simple as fk, my group members camped overnight in school while I stayed at home and the project scored full marks. Lmao. Carried. So hard. Zoe says its because I have good people skills. I say its because I am lucky. <= will prove this point further on.

2) NM2210. No exam. Therefore I did not go for a single lecture the whole semester. 2 individual projects + 1 group project. I spent 4 hours on my individual project and about 30 mins on the group project ( same story, got carried ). Amazingly, my C5 GP managed to get me an A for both projects ( thanks to Zoe for proof reading <3 ) and my group mates from arts ensured my A for the group project. 5 hours of work and 0 lectures attended is enough to get an A. NM modules are a joke. Actually you can tell for urself how bad my writing is just by reading this post.

3) FYP is such a fked up requirement. I can barely understand the things that Professors are teaching me for 4 years, yet I am expected to learn Android Programming/ Augmented Reality/ Image Recognition Implementation and Windows Programming all by myself? Dream on la. Every week I dread walking into my Prof's office, its so tiring to keep coming up with things to say when I actually have nothing to show. Yet I managed to get good comments from both my supervisor as well as evaluator in my CA Interim Presentation. Smoking level over 9000.

The reason for this title is because I am now an owner of property in Singapore. muahahaha. Zoe and I managed to get the Tampines BTO! Despite having a fked up queue number of 222/215, we managed to get a 5th floor unit that has a good position! Lucky much? Furthermore, I posted a troll status on facebook saying I will not be saying which unit I got since I did not want to share 4D money. Guess what? We really won 4D! Even though its just a consolation price, the luck is really overwhelming. Once again since I am not working, Zoe will be carrying me! Lucky max.

Some useful reminders/tips:

1) Apply only if you are sure he/she is "the one"
2) He/She can carry you lol
3) There are alot of grants/schemes that are available but they are mostly for resale flats. For direct sales we only have the HLE (Loan) and the combined income grant.
4) Combined income grant is if the couple has a combined income of less than $5000, the couple will be eligible for a grant of up to 30k. So basically the best time to get this grant is if one person is working and the other is not. Although I do know friends who earn more den $5000 alone lol.
5) Couples who apply before 30 years old can split the down payment to 5% (1 month from application) and 5% ( when the house is ready about 3-4 years ). If you are above 30, you will have to pay 10% down payment within 1 month from the application which is about 40k.

At the point when I signed the documents, it was pretty surreal. 7 years ago I would not have seen this moment happening. Yet I think I am extremely blessed with luck to be able to apply for a house with Zoe. I quote Yuxuan " It is very rare and lucky to find someone like Zoe who would stick through thick and thin with you " I fully agree. Not so much of thin since I am fk fat right now but I do agree that I am really pretty damn lucky.

YongSeo

Omg thanks and no thanks to Hammy, I finally managed to prove to myself that I am not as cold blooded as my mom claims I am. Hammy introduced a korean reality couple show where random guys and random girls from the korean showbiz were picked and put together to become a "married couple". They would be required to do missions together as couples such as taking wedding photos together or make kimchi together. Some missions would actually benefit the couples themselves such as learning how to drive together and going on holidays etc.

Basically Hammy ruined my weekend by introducing a song: "Banmal Song" sung by CNBlue YongHwa and SNSD Seohyun because he knew I was a sucker for good songs, especially duets. And that proved to be the single most devastating heart wrenching weekend ever because YongSeo made me happy/sad/excited/disappointed throughout.

Not sure why I had such big emotions over that show, perhaps its the pure and innocent relationship they had? Perhaps the scriptwriter was a genius? Even though every single WGM couple and the things they do are scripted, I believe that the interactions and expressions cannot be faked. The amount of chemistry between Yong and Seo is unbelievable, compared to the "Adam couple" which was more funny then touching and the "Khuntoria couple" who only touched each other, "YongSeo" touched my heart much much more with their simple yet truthful interactions and it made me realize I am still a warm-blooded human.

It reminded me of the jc days where I would put in alot of effort to make gifts, practice songs and plan surprises for Zoe and vice versa.

When the couple ended their "on-air" relationship, it was so heart wrenching that I literally had no mood to double click on any game icon for the whole weekend. (Oh by the way my weekend is fk long because of a 3 day week. I have thurs, fri, sat, sun, mon free which was why I can clear 51 episodes and still have alot of time left) YongSeo ended just as abruptly as it started, just when they were getting comfortable with each other. Just when all the hard work Yong had put in to make Seo comfortable and no longer awkward around him and his friends. The show WGM managed to make many many happy memories for YongSeo but I personally feel that there is no closure at all, and the only thing YongSeo left for the viewers is their songs and hence I was stuck listening to banmal song and lovelight and googling about what happened to them after WGM for the whole weekend.

The impact of YongSeo for me was so big, big until I unsealed the forbidden piano and tried to learn and play banmal song. I then realized that being a fan of Kpop is actually very tiring, the language is pretty hard even though romanizations/translations and subs are everywhere. But to learn to play a korean song is so much harder because I have to first memorize the pronunciations and lyrics before I even start practising the notes.

So the aftermath of YongSeo for me is perhaps a tearful gameless weekend which was why I absolutely refuse to watch any other WGM couple because it is really very 犯贱 to make myself sad all over again. Tried to look for SNSD Seohyun files in comics connection but it is freaking 16 bucks for a lousy quality file. I introduced it to Ben but I'm not sure if he is watching the same thing as me since he keep noticing Yong's mother to be very chio instead.

Anyway enough about YongSeo. A few light hearted things to note:

NM modules are really funny. This sem I took NM2210 Interactive Media Design: Theory and it turned out to be the biggest joke module ever. Firstly it was 1300 points in round 2 and I got it for 1 point in round 3. Fk all of u noobs that bid for UEMs in round 2. Another tip I learned from an imba friend of mine is to bid for core mods in round 1 and drop them in round 3 and rebid them to get back half the points. I managed to save about 1400 points with this method already thanks to imba ryan. Anyway back to NM, it is currently week 6 and I have yet to go for a single lecture since there is no exam, I have yet to do a single reading but have gotten participation points every tutorial. I literally waltzed into the tut room with no readings, no laptop, no assignment done and smoked my way through like a boss. Epic.

Another joke mod is my FYP. It is week 6 and I have yet to even install the andriod compiler onto my desktop. However I have managed to convince my prof that there is actually progress LOL. I went to a prof meeting one day totally unprepared and at the end of the meeting he actually said and I quote: "Good! Well done! There is progress already." At one point of time I was so engrossed and dedicated to smoking my Prof until I myself am convinced that there is actually progress lmao. There is a saying: To bluff opponent must bluff your own team mate first. For me I bluff opponent until I bluff myself into it. Really high level gameplay.

Lastly, guild wars 2. Fk. It is an awesome game but I got suspended because apparently "Erections" has too much sexual innuendos and is deemed too pornographic to be an IGN and hence I got suspended for 72 hours due to a violation in naming policy. Which also explains why I am typing this whole load of crap that bores the crap out of crap here. 

I realised I have a natural recurring 犯贱 attitude towards games. 

In Maplestory, I chose to become a bandit/chief bandit/shadower which was a class that is grossly underpowered with items that are grossly overpriced. If I had spent the same amount of time leveling a Nightlord/DK in maple I think I long ago level 200 already. 

In dota, my first ever hero that Yuxuan taught me to play is Enigma. Fk his face seriously. Even at the peak and height of my WCG days in dota I also cannot play Enigma properly and I actually learned Enigma first. People usually start with zeus/sniper/sven as their first int/agi/str hero but I had to choose one of the hardest heroes to start with and extremely team mate reliant.

In DragonNest I have achieved unparalleled success in all characters, but once again I started DN with an Archer. A class that was impossible to both PVE and PVP because of its underpowered nature. I persevered till max level and even reached the top few Bowmasters in Westwood ladder only to realise a few months later that I repeated the same feat with all other jobs with half the gold and half the time. After being the top FU, top EL, semi-top BM, top Acro I finally realised how dumb I was and told myself never to repeat the same mistake again.

In GuildWars2, I did all my research before hand, I consolidated peers who played the beta and realised that Warriors/Thieves/Rangers were the strongest and Elementalists were pretty weak and extremely complex and challenging to play with. And guess which profession I chose? Thats right. Elementalist. Fml. Paper as shit, sub par damage. Sigh. Is there actually a mental illness to describe people who love to do things the hard way just to seek approval and acknowledgement from others?

24th Birthday Celebration

Short post. LoL is not on maintenance. This goes to show how important and significant this event is to me.

First and foremost I must thank my sweetest girlfriend for planning out such a wonderful day for me <3 and for starting my birthday off with a bang =D

It has been constantly on our minds to have a k-session with our regular song whores and Zoe took the effort to not only get our regular singing buddies, but also managed to get our old choir singing buddies Joseph and Chengpei <3

In short, Ck, Yuxuan, Joseph, Chengpei, Yuanting, Zhenbin thanks for taking time out to 陪我过生日!Thanks for the yummy mango mousse cake and the delicious treats from Taiwan and Japan!

After the k-session it was an entertaining chit chat session at katong laksa where we basically talked about Kong Hee's disgusting sermon and his wife's equally disgusting MV.

There is something memorable after the chit chat session but I personally think it deserves to be 压轴。So I shall talk abt dinner first.

For dinner, Zoe gave me a treat to the buffet at Grand Copthorne! It was a fking awesome dinner because the seafood is fresh, the desserts are creative and the overall ambience was so nice! I managed to learn the secret art of peeling snow crab legs from an uncle whom I secretly acknowledged him to be my godfather. The speed of him peeling that crab leg + the fluent action + the nonchalant manner when he did it was really mesmerizing!

One of the nicest dish there was their laksa. Usually buffets will have an area for local delicacies such as laksa, chicken/duck/char siew rice, prata etc that is meant to cheat ang moh money and fill up their massive stomachs. But this place is different, the laksa is really fking awesome. According to my friend, their famous dish is lobster laksa, but it is an ala carte dish. The point is, must eat their laksa.

Quick recap of all the good food:

Caramel banana waffle.
Salmon.
Grilled tiger prawn.
Laksa.
Apple crumble with white chocolate.
Tepanyaki vege + sotong.
Snow crab.
Misc seafood.
Wild mushroom salad.
Sprite.

Last of all, Yuanting and Zhenbin, although I do not know why u all left so early, all I can say is "wasted". Because u 2 did not witness the miraculous feat performed by CK at the i12 arcade after the laksa session!

In the arcade there is a game to spot differences in photos. I tink its called photo hunt. CK single handedly broke the game's top score not once, but twice. ( the 2nd time breaking his own 1st high score that broke the previous high score ) All I can say is dun wear short skirt or low cut dresses in front of CK, he will spot ur nipslips or ur zhao gengs in a flash. Omg. The speed at which he found the differences was absofkinglutely unfkingbelievable. The 4 of us barely looked at the picture and he managed to find all 5 differences already, dam kuazhang.

All in all, wonderful day with wonderful people planned by a wonderful girlfriend.

Kong Hee Disgusting Sermon

Kong Hee Disgusting Sermon


This is just shocking. Unbelievable. Shockingly unbelievable. Beyond religion, beyond Kill Bill and China Wine, this is bringing Singapore Christianity to a whole new level of shame. Kong Hee has redefined the word "condescending" and has thus brought me to shame as well because I thought I was the one that has condescension built into my manner of speech. I have much much to learn from Kong Hee, he is my newest idol. Respect +10000.


The entertainment level of the commentaries is mediocre at best. Although I did like the imitation of the mafia boss as it reminds me of GTA.


Imagine this scenario, u murdered a person with a knife,and ur prints are on the knife. When the police catches u at the scene of the crime, u just say "oh i took the knife out from the body when i discovered it, hoping it would save the victim, hence the prints."


The best part of that stupid scenario: the police believes it, gives u a medal/reward for trying to save someone.


That's how condescending Kong Hee is. Let us look at this from Kong Hee's POV. He strolls into a hall full of christians, deliver a speech full of biblical references that are out of context, without shame, without remorse and without the fear of being exposed as a money swindling fraud. Even if he is exposed, he can probably get away with it from citing a personal experience with God (which he did). 


For potential christians, please take this module in ur church.


Christian1101E - Personal Experiences With God


Nothing anyone say can win an argument with a personal experience.


Basically what Kong Hee did was to treat everybody as idiots, stupid fktards whom he can simply and confidently scam his way through with such a lousy sermon. I mean, that sermon was just so bad, bad in a way that it was so simple! Its Scammer1101E in maple! But here is the part where I respect him at the same time. He has the balls to go into a church and asks for money in the name of the lord and yet not prepare a more brilliant speech or a more elaborate plan. 


Even I scam people I also will put in more effort, creating dummy fb accounts with pretty girl pictures, creating dummy MSN, getting a pre-paid card. All Kong Hee did was to ask for money in the face and waits for a magical being to honor the promises. In the event you go bankrupt or heavily in debt, u cannot hold Kong Hee responsible, God just doesnt love u the way he loves Kong Hee. Maybe you should change your name to Fat Choi and try try instead.


Even though I do not know the actual amount of money he received from that sermon, the fact that he thinks he can succeed in scamming with that lousy speech is enough to disgust me. After listening to that sermon I have learnt that 


Faith = Condescension + Confidence


Its like playing dota, why some people dare to go 1 v 5 in a clash.


1) Confidence -> Items super good, very farmed up,
2) Condescension -> I tink all my opponents are inferior stupid noob fktards.


With these mentality in mind. I therefore have FAITH that I will emerge victorious in a 1 v 5. In the event that a miracle happens and I really do win a 1 v 5 clash, it would be the "Personal Experience with God" that I have and now I shall tell others who say "1 v 5 is impossible" that they are wrong and blasphemous.


I personally think that Faith is knowing your team mate will support you when u clash, it is knowing your team mates will TP to the tower to save ur ass.


In blackshot, it is knowing your sniper will cover u when u go car lane. It is knowing ur team mates will throw their bodies to cover u when u flag. It is reporting an enemy location and a grenade flies to that spot 2 seconds later to clear that enemy.


That is the kind of faith I have in my team. And if they dun, i will fking kan them in skype.


Tired of typing so much, in conclusion, I give my seed to my thumbs, thighs, stomach, tissue paper, dustbin and drain everyday. I shall go give some seed now, looking forward to that burst of prosperity, or the sudden decrease in protein level. Brb.

"Blogging"

This is just a testing post. Since I have never blogged in my 24 years, although I do have a few blog siao friends. I do not know whether I should address the posts to myself from my POV, or should I address my posts as a narrative to the 3rd person. But fk it, I understand myself can already. 


I wanted to start this so called "blog" because for the first time in my life, I went overseas entirely on my own with my own pocket money saved up and with my own self planned itinerary. It is a pretty momentous trip with a pretty important person hence I feel the need to record it down in detail. Especially since I am an irresponsible lazy arrogant ass. 


However, after coming back from Taiwan for about 2 weeks I have yet to start writing anything. My sudden urge to write(type) only came after I met with a car accident which made me realise I could just die anytime without fulfilling my promise of writing this blog to my very important person. 


Welcome to my memories.
