~ Huge Update ~

Firstly, my mom's fine and out of hospital already. She had her op last thurs evening so i was going to the hospital everyday except for monday. erhhh... she discharged by tuesday. quite surprising cos her op was a pretty major op and she got discharged in less than a week.

heres the thing. after we got into the car, mom started quarreling with my dad. -_- over what? over which way he should have turned which was supposedly the shorter route. -_- dont understand why they have to be so insistent on these kind of thing. i mean like, its just a turn what, not life and death. Does it really matter who is right and who is wrong?

so anyway, that kinda explains why i didn update for so long. hmmmmm.

some pictures from shang wei's bday celebration and the airport shots when we send him off.

so like i mentioned before we performed abit at his party. and i sang a couple of songs.



Heres a closeup of shang wei


group shot


shangwei got caked


and bob got himself drunk


Alot of them were balloon fighting the whole night...


On to the airport photos...

grp shot




Heres a nice gif i made of 2 shots continuously. Cant resize the gif so its quite big. (Actually i can but its a real pain)



Godwin and another guy, Andre wore almost the same outfit! how cool is that!

hahahahaha

And we got him a farewell gift!




Cant tell what it is? Watch the video!


wahahaha! nice rite...

Erh... I skipped my jap lesson on sunday and went to a jap festival at the Waseda Shibuya High School. Quite cool. Those guys are dam friendly.





Im not in ANY of the following pics cos basically i was the one behind the cam the whole time. haha

Went to their haunted house. I must say they really did put in LOTS of effort in doing up the place. And they really try their best to freak ppl out. One guy was breathing right beside my ear. haha. But then they still manage to be polite at the same time. Jap ghost only scare you visually. They dont do the arm from below grab your leg kinda thing. They made a point strictly not to touch anyone. oh but we did touch this cute teddy bear of a girl ghost though. haha. They are so polite that they will "show you the way" like ushers showing ppl into their seats if you get stuck at a point and dont know what to do. which made it kinda funny. I almost wanted to "get infected" at the end but the thing ended before i knew it so... no time to get infected. Or else it wud have been a blast. haha.





No pix of the inside cos i didn bring my camera in. =p but jap girls seem to look cuter in ghost mode. or maybe they just like to send their cute girls to become ghosts. haha.

Then we went for some food!


looks like those econ noodles you eat for breakfast right? haha. but its quite diff la.

More pics.




They took a photo with pikachu!


Went to another booth and played those mini festival games.

















And we got 1 balloon each from the games!(except for ricky)

Mine's the yellow one! heh.

So thats it. will be going for jap lesson this sunday. have some catching up to do, ON TOP of the original catching up that i already had to do. hahaha. Too many pics in this update so i don't feel like typing too much already. heh.

~ Minor Update ~

Wow. Just came back from shang's party. quite a blast. haha. i sang 2 songs in a little gig that we did. =p didn sing well though. lol. It was also my first experience with my SLR at events. Learnt a thing or two bout my cam. hmmmm. Events are really diff from scenery. Cos once you miss the shot thats it. The shots don't wait for you like scenery and still-life do. Very dynamic environment but i think i'll get better with more tries. heh.

Quite a busy weekend. 2 birthdays, so gotta rush some work. INFACT, im gonna go do some work now. So i'll give a more detailed update few days later. Maybe when we send shang wei off on wednesday ba. Hmmmm... but mom's admitting to SGH on wednesday as well... so i'll have to see how. Now... ARHH!! Assignments!

~ Can I Have A C for Chao Kuan? ~

ok its really like 3 days late but what the heck i'll blog this in anyways. Since i REALLY wanted to blog this back then. heh.

Thursday was project presentation day. The most part of our project was still not done by wednesday. COULD have been done one week ago but all the while we were waiting for the input from another member. That was the most crucial part and we waited one whole week. Then by monday, cindy and i decided it was too late and that we could not go on waiting anymore. Cos by monday yi shi was not in sch and was still unconatactable. So i did the measurements in photoshop and printed out on artcard on monday night and cindy finished the base by tuesday night.

So we agreed to meet up early on wednesday morning (which was conveniently a free day) to finish the project. Yi shi said she had some medical appointment at gleneagles? so ok, i told her to call us as soon as her appt was over and prolly go down to the sch as well.

but we didn hear from her the whole day. We worked from morning till afternoon till evening without hearing from yi shi at all! Finally, cindy got an sms from yi shi...

"hey can you send me the photos of the work online?"

WOW. never hear from you the whole day and you have the cheek to come and ask for photos. WIN LIAO LOR. we were so pissed la. Even other grps also came to ask wheres our third member. And they thought it was pretty unfair too. Basically the whole dam thing was finished between me and cindy. Well ok, yi shi did make half of the base by tuesday but it wasn exactly balanced? and its still just half of what she was suppose to have came up with.

i worked till 10+ 11pm on wednesday night before i went home. Ate my dinner, and continued working till 4.30 in the morning. Woke up at 7+ to go to sch to continue working on the thing again. So you can tell, i was pretty pissed when i was doing the things at home.

anyways heres a pic of what i did.



Supposed to be some toy model. I just bullshitted about how its a "baby's hanging mobile", that it "appeals to the visual aspect" whatever that means, and that the centre piece can spin given the right wind conditions(i've been told but i've not verified myself)

The base frame was what i was talking about earlier which was not suppose to be my part of the project. hah. The frame on top of the curve is formed entirely by individual 2x2x2 cm cubes. So YES it was HELL to stick those things together. And after so much work when you find that they wont hold up, it seriously just makes you dam sian. The middle horizontal beams were originally not there but were added due to a very unfortunate collapse. hah.

So that was how i spent my free day! haha. Quite happy that many people actually found my work interesting. Even during the making process i have had people come up to me and "wow. this looks really good! keep it up man!" kinda thing. haha. guess that really kept me going. heh. ALthough the end product was pretty messy cos we didn have alot of time to make sure everything's stuck in a neat manner... But after the presentation and everything was over, there was a HUGE sense of satisfaction in me. haha. I rewarded myself with a nice meal followed by going home. To sleep from 6pm to 9am next morning. hahaha. That felt REALLY good.

So thats it for this. I tink this is one experience i will remember for awhile... heh.

~ Where's Ma Base! ~

arhhhhh. Don't you just hate it when certain elements of a project grp keep delaying the submission of their part of the proj. ESPECIALLY when its the most fundamental part where everything else is gonna be built base on it. ESPECIALLY when that particular element was suppose to finish our independent week a.k.a Free but not too free week and now is already the one day into curriculum proper.

Admittedly nobody gave any reminders or what but do you really get reminders for you to finish work when you eventually work in the corporate world? Guess sometimes when you wanna get things done you just have to do it yourself.

On another note. "All I Want For Christmas Is You" just popped into my head just now and Im suddenly in a kind of Christmasy mood after i listened to the song from Youtube.
