I'm soo sorry for not posting this past week, but let me make it short...Sitex Exhibition, WCG finals, camping trip... Well you should get the idea =)

Well this week has been boring, with me still lazy to attempt my holiday homework ( I think I've forgotten how to do some of them LOL ), so I've been fooling around in Maple Story, or off doing somethings else. On last Saturday, I went on a camping trip with my family friends, but it's weird cause I ended up bringing my xbox and stuffs there. Luckily, there was a heavy downpour around afternoon, so we're stuck in the condo.( Apparently one of my friend has a condo apartment near Pasir Ris Park, and it's his "Weekend Retreat". Talk abou being filthy rich lol )

So as I was saying we're stuck in the condo. Hooray =). We virtually went Halo/Conker Mania for hours, with me totally owning them badly ( It's not that I'm pro, but it's just that I'm a veteran in Halo ). Anyway, this went on until evening where we pitched tent and do those what campers always do. BBQ, night cycling etc, all those normal stuffs. Later when everyone went to sleep ( Around 2am wow ! ), my friends and I went on night cycling til morning. We just rode around the Pasir Ris central area before we headed back to the campsite to sleep.

I went to the Sitex Exhibition held in the S'pore Expo during the weekend to search for the"Best For Value" MP3. There's nothing much there, just like usual with different booths declaring the discount war with each other. Now for the better part lol, apparently the Singapore Businessmen have become smarter this time round, and engaged the service of......Booth Babes !

That's right ! Booth Babes ! There's the Logitech babes, Samsung ( they came all the way from WCG ) and many more. Imagine this, a really, really beautiful, gorgeous babe ( Too beautiful to be describe with words ! LOL ) wearing mini tank tops and skirts passing out flyers. Nosebleed alert ! OMG OMG ! Anyway I hope to see more of this in the future =). Let's see...There's the Sexpo ( Gasps ! ) and the BigBoyzToyz Exhibition...S'pore in really maturing ^_^

Well nothing much has happen this few days, so maybe I'll just keep it short and simple ;)

Yesterday, I believe, Singapore faced her biggest and worse rainfall so far this month. I can't believe, that it had been actually raining from early, early morning ( 8-9am+) tile late evening ( about 6-7pm). Playing Maple Story for 5 straight hours each day proved to boring to me, so I decided, for the first time since this 6 months, to log in as Jack 117 again in XBL ( Xbox live ) to play Halo 2 online. With friends I haven't interacted in months. Anyway, I played all day, just stopping about 30 mins for lunch and some eye relaxation exercise. With the whole day raining so badly, temperature in my living room practically fell from a normal 30+ degree Celsius to about a abnormal temperature ranging from 28 degree Celsius to absolute zero ( I bragged on this part, but it's freakingly unbelievably cold ). I was having fun in Halo 2 XBL, getting owned, owning people until it came. That Thing. Horrible...

Everytime i do, play or see something exciting, blood rushes to my brain, leaving my hands in this case, very cold and pale. Yesterday while playing Halo 2 XBL this happened. Plus with temperatures dropping rapidly due to the rain, my hands went Awfully Pale, cold and started to cramp. Even though with that horrendous cramp ( I did grumble alot, but try to imagine your fingers getting soo stiff and hard that even clenching them into a fist hurts badly ), i still continue playing but this time not playing at my best of course lol. Well then, i'll be going to some camping trip with some family friends somewhere this weekend, so i'll think i'll bring along my Gundam Model Kit there to fix =)... Now for more 老鼠爱大米 ( remix ) lol.

There and back again, a WCG special...

Well, this was suppose to be a special 2 day coverage of the international game tournament, the one and only, World Cyber Games ( WCG ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!! But something cropped up, and i'll get into this a little later =)

Anyway on Saturday when i went to WCG tournament area at Suntec Conventional centre, i was totally amazed by that spectacular scene; a really, really large stage where gamers of different countries will compete against each other, with those special lighting/fog/music effect, and not forgetting the wonderful rock music blasting at your face ( I believe it's not that bad ).

The large stage was a tournament/performance area, and there were 2 of them, 1 main and the other for the sole purpose broadcasting the gameplay footage by different gamers. There's another area where other games for other games like halo 2 ( Damn ! No full screen footage ! ) but there's not much area for the spectators darn...

There were different booths, mainly by Intel, Razor and Samsung, official sponsors of WCG 2005. Both Intel and Razor held game tournaments, but sadly i lacked the competitive mood to participate in, but it was the Samsung booth which stood out from the crowd. Booth babes. Yes, I DID say booth babes. In Singapore, this is a hell of a rare sight lol, apart from the bigger game conventions like E3, held in the US. Well, there was also this Warcraft cosply team, with really gorgeous ladies in stunning costumes lol. Anyway the main thing when people go to WCG is either to compete or view the stunning gameplay videos by the competitiors, so i did watch a match; Team EG of Canada VS Ichor of Australia, with Canada virtually controlling the whole match of Counter-Strike ( CS ).

Later when i just fooled around with my school friends, Xbox Live friends around the Samsung booth ( Although the Samsung booth babes played a factor with us staying there, it was the Xbox featuring Halo 2 ( I'm a big fan of Halo, ok ? ). Somewhere, somehow, a Portugal competitor for Halo 2 ( OMG ) challenge us to a match. Again, lacking a good, trustworthy controller ( The analog buttons were obivously horrible ) and the competitive spirit i backed out, leaving the xbox live players to VS him. 2 matches, with the first one lost to the Portugese 9 to 10 kills and the second match was a draw, 8 to 8. Again we have photo to prove this hehe, i'll upload them later.

Ok the end, and to why i did't go again on sunday for the WCG finals, is due to the fact that my father dragged me from 7.30am to go on this HSBC treetop trail with some family friends. By the time we came back at about 6.30pm ( We went pinic for hours, then to Parkway Parade for shopping of camp items and finally visiting my grandma ) Me and my dad were too worn out to go out again ( My dad actually said," Hm, maybe i MAY go to watch the WCG finals" And this thrilled me ). Well i guess this was not meant to be, too bad lol.

All Hail Tetra ! The Man Who Got Singapore A WCG Medal For Second !

It's confirmed ! I had been showing this symptoms for the past few weeks;

1) Transformation to a nocturnal being ! Instead of sleeping at 12am like any other days ( including school days ! ), i now find myself sleeping at around 1-3 am this holiday seasons, and yes I have to FORCE myself to sleep. Now I only wake up around 11am to the afternoons...

2) A sudden increase of body temperature ! It's not that I'm getting sexually excited or having a serious fever, but it's just that you feel hot ( as in body temp lol )and even a bath can't stop it. Even with a bath, I still find myself sweating kinda badly, at it's in the evening too OMG !

3) A sudden "AFK-dation" of the body; brain during anytime of the day. Happens mostly when the brain or body has nothing to do.

4) A sudden change in diet, dear old Jack finds himself eating junk food all day ! Instant noodles, sweets, chips, all you people could think of !

5) Increased in amount of "Neck-cracking" per day. A sign that Jack plays too much computer.

From the above symptoms shown, I have deduced that me, myself have this condition known as, " The Holiday Mood". Gosh ! This is a BAD time to get this condition, i still have tons of homework to do ! OMG !

What is happening to me !!!! I'm undergoing extreme boredom and sudden increase of body temperature ( Not doing naughty stuffs mind you ). Firstly, for 5 straight days, i have once again forgotten to pass up my oversea travel form ( Something form to track your activities overseas ) due to the following reasons :

1) Oversleeping : I've been waking up around 11-12pm+ this few days, and when i wake up the brain is soo empty, and i don't recall anything. Well not exactly everything...

2) Boredom : With the brain and body suffering from extreme boredom, it's common to see the person as "AFK", meaning that this guy is kinda absent-minded.

To do holiday homework at this point of the school holidays is sucide for me, and with Maple Story getting a little boring lately ( Picture this, 20 servers always full and you can't even have fun without getting KSed like mad ) and i am absolutely broke to buy new games for both my xbox and computer. All i get for lunch is packets and packets of instant noodles haiz... ( Runs off to the kitchen to check on his noodles )

Anyway, heaven is NOT that blind, cause i finally got a new TV set to replace the older one which's about 10 years old. Not that i hate the old one, but it's high time to retire, with the darkening screen ( It's awfully dark ! Imagine viewing Orchard night scenes without the night lights ) as a sign from above lol. Now i'll think i go play some Xbox Live and catch up with old friends :). Oh wait my noodles !

Some Ferrero Rocher and rymthamic techno music.......I'm all geared up for another blogging.

Well there i was and back again from another BBQ, this time from my Ex-class friends for the last 2 years. Surprising when i said it's something like a Ex-Class BBQ, not much of them came ( sad huh ! ), and i soo wanted to see everyone together again ( but alas it was not meant to be ! ). Being a Semi-HyperActive kid, i absolutely hate to have nothing fun to do, and again for the BBQ i had nothing to do and i was struck by this "AFK" feeling, or just feeling empty inside. I can't believe the fact, that i actually spent S$5 to rent a bike for 2 whole hours to just ride around East Coast Park.

Put this aside, and practically for 2 whole hours i was just moving around, gobbling food and viewing my friends over-cooking food lol. Before we went home, the guys were struck by this skin-dipping fantasy and virtually dumped everyone into the sea. I thought to myself ," Hey, i got nothing to lose, why not?" Bad idea...but it was fun lol, i actually went half naked ( I'm not wearing shirts but i Did wear pants ok ? ) and got dumped into the sea. It was a fun, salty, yet painful experience, for i landed badly TWICE, and got a whole pant full of sand. Picture this, wet pants with sand bits in it, with your skin itching like mad and it went on for about a hour.Ouch...Anyway what i didn't actually expect is to see this lady who was from the same tuition class, named Yi Jia ( I dont actually know her that well but i know her name ).

Lastly, do you know why the adults do BBQ the best ? Cause during their teenage years, they spent tons of $ to master the skills of BBQ, something like the trial and error type :)

I'm finally back from the Class Chalet held last weekend ! HOOT ! It's not to say that it was totally crap, but... Many stuffs happened. Yep, like petty squabbles, poor housing conditions and not to forget mentioning hours of torturing boredom.

Yes, firstly, for the housing stuffs. I recalled ( No Seriously ! ) asking our dear class chairman ( or Chairwoman in this case ) how was the sleeping areas. 5 people per room was what she said. So assuming about 20 of us will be sleeping overnight there, it's about 4 rooms and i agreed to stay overnight. My mistake !

When i reached there i was totally shocked. 1 tiny room and living room. OMG OMG OMG and i ACTUALLY brought a unbelievably big luggage and my precious xbox there, and in the end i had to bring them home, but thank god for Dad :) to help. Well if i could get a really,really, really good tv set there to play my dear Xbox all night.But no..... all i've got was a small tv ( 20 inches ) hanging above the fridge and with some colour distortion. Talk about bad luck , my home TV is starting to burn itself and when i said this i meant the pictures are getting VERY dark. Even watching the happy cheery Sesame Street seemed painful. Worse was i painstakingly borrowed 2 controllers all the way from Pasir Ris with some help and no one wanted to play T-T, cause i'm to "pro" to versus against ( btw it's halo 2 lol ). With my classmates dumping water all over the small living room ( there's where the boys will sleep ) i started to fear for my xbox and my safety lol, so off i go back home.

Now finally for Boredom ! I'm a guy who can't go for long without anything to stimulate the brain, so technically i was "AFK" over there, and people thought it was the time of the month lol.
Everything went SO slow, like that kind of matrix stuff u'll see on tv ( my Surname's Neo too ). Well i just went biking alone ( I'm kinda anti-social lol ) and played around a little. I came back the second night for the bbq and gift exchange programme, same old story, interacted with the teachers and their families. My parents imposed strict rules not to spend too much money over there, and miraculously i only spent S$1.70 during the 2 days there. Well for the gift exchanging thingy, i had to give 2 ladies 2 gifts and this task seemed so impossible to do lol. Anyway i gave the gifts and received Chocolates back ( guess who gave it to me lol. There's a clue in the previous post ) I could have sworn someone gave me a clue that it was a Gundam as a gift ! Well that's all for now lol, guess i overdid it AGAIN. Oh yes another BBQ tomorrow afternoon LOL.

Thursday, November 10, 2005

I'm soo sorry for not posting yesterday, but i was on a School Malaysia field trip, roughly about 1 day long. Yes ONE day long, so dont blame me. And again i had another field trip today, and i had to wake up at the unearthly time of 6-7 am this few days. Because of these, i happen to look like a panda which woke up on the wrong side of bed.

Basically, yesterday's trip ain't not that kind of pleasant holidays rich brats go lol, but instead deep into Bhatu Pahat, Johor of Malaysia. We went around kampongs to educate ourselves with Geography related topics. But the trip was mesmerizing for me, cause you dont get to see kampong life everyday, right ? kampong life, it's so relaxing and friendly ! It's totally different from Singapore, where many don't even know their next door neighbours! Anyway many weird and unexpected events happened to me and i don't know how to put it on the blog. Sorry !

The most memorable part of the trip was me being able to talk to this beautiful lady ( Name removed to protect privacy ) , who happens to be my crush from my class without getting the jitterings. That feeling was totally.....wow...She looks cute, but with her hair down she seems so...mature, and yesterday i managed to see this side of her and that feeling...it's totally indescripable. By the way people, when i say she's my crush, not my loved one is that at this point of my life, i can't really trust my own personal feelings. Not much, or perhaps no one, could even know or understand the real me, cause even i, don't even know the real me.

And again, today i yet again went on another field trip but this time with some friends and some other guys ( I don't know them ) which was suspiciously familiar to the other trip i just said about in the above paragraph. Well we went to churches, temples in a attempt to understand history of religions in Singapore.Been there done that lol. But today's trip had a surprise, this stunning lady ( picture Fiona Xie in uniform ) from another class from my level joined the trip. Wow I feel energetic lol, but seriously i'm just a normal average boy and i react with actions another boy arond my age would do. This made the trip even more enjoyable besides the entertaining historicalsites we went to, and who knew Singapore still rear Crocodiles and Aligators ?! Woah i think i've overdid it... lol guess i'll stop here then.

Well, erm this is my first post and i've have ABSOLUTELY nothing to post today. Oh wait self-introduce...right...

Like what the description said, I'm Jack and currently 15 yrs of age. I dont really have any hobbies though, but i do what normal kids do, but somehow i'm more mature than most of them lol, cause somehow.... i act like one -.-". Well another distinctive trait i have is i beat around the bush. Alot, and i think i failed my combined humanities because of that...Sad...

This blog is for reminding me ( I don't have a good sense of memory .. ), and of course entertainment for the general public with my daily encounters in life. That's all for now enjoy :)
