The Most Exhibitionist Banner Ever!

Took me an hour or so to select, cut, edit pictures of mine to finally produce the new banner you see above. They consist of pictures of myself from the latest (top-left: Feb 2009) to the oldest (bottom-left: Dec 2003!). Yeah they zigzag from top-left to bottom-left in reverse chronological order of the age of my pictures.

Why did I wanna do such a boliao thing? I have no idea too. Suddenly felt like doing it. Wahahha!!! Can actually see how much I've changed over the years. Did I change much? Hmm...

Found out something scary. Times passes so quickly. AAAHHH!!!

Priestess of the Moon

Was informed by Edwin about an article regarding the penumbral lunar eclipse happening tonight. Diaozzz... Didn't even see much difference. The moon still looks so bright and round. Supposed to happen from 10pm to 11:20pm, with the maximum eclipse happening at 10:38pm. I took pictures of the moon at 10:02 and 10:42. Below are the pictures of the moon at the times respectively. No difference right? ZZZzzz... They were taken using full optical zoom of 10x on my Canon PowerShot SX100 using manual focus. The second picture is taken at 10:42pm too, but with 40x optical + digital zoom.

Updates 101

Went to Wenyao's house just like last year for Chinese New Year bai nian. This time it was Kim who organized this activity. People present were Kim, Alan, Kaiwei, Wenyao, Rongxuan, Jianshun, Naizhu, Nana, Hock Seng, Eng Tat and me. As usual HS brought his Nintendo Wii and we played House of the Dead 2 as well as some other cute game. There was mahjong too and we played for a while. Then it was lao yusheng. This time they put ham in it! They bought most of the ingredients from NTUC but they also added more of their own ingredients. Then we lao-ed the Ham-sheng together with Wenyao's mother. Jianshun left after that.
Next up we went to the Esplanade but ended up at Marina Square's Pasta de Waraku for dinner. Zhenhao joined us for the dinner while Rongxuan left after he arrived. Fwah I ate until wanna explode. I ordered the Bacon and Spinach pasta. I thought it was quite a weird combi but somehow it tasted quite good. Shiokz man. No activities after dinner, so we only walked around Suntec before making our way home.

4th February 2009, Wednesday

Went back to NTU for career fair with Edwin. Also jio-ed Naizhu along. This year there were many interesting jobs available. Who says the economy is no good? So many companies are still actively hiring. There is even a third location for booths, which is located in the School of Biological Sciences. Andy was there for his company PIAS. So the 3 of us walked through the fair and submitted a few applications. Then we visited the "new" canteen A for the first time. Shiokz sia. Students these days really enjoy so much privilege. There were so many restaurants and even the food court above them looked so cool. The food court was fully air-conditioned.

5th February 2009, Thursday

Went back to NTU once again! This time cos Zhongming wanted to someone to go with him. Diao din expect to go back to NTU two days in a row. But anyway we went to Canteen 1 to meet up with Ken, Chin Keat and Kong Hooi, as well as one of the other guys from Hall 4. Then I had my favourite beef ball rice set after so many years!! SHIOKZ!

We then went to the career fair and started walking around. Saw Steven at the DSO booth so I went over to him to say hi. Then we also went to Andy's booth to talk cok with him. It may be the second day I went to the career fair but somehow I realized that I missed out quite a few booths on the first day. Went to apply for several more positions. Soon we were quite done with the whole fair and therefore we proceeded back to hall 4. Still the nostalgic feeling of being in hall several years back when I entered CK and KH's room. We talked cok and ZM and me copied some movies from them. We then played a 3v3 game of DotA before we left for JP for dinner. Then the blur ZM realized that he did not have his handphone with him. After much trouble, he found out that he left his hp in CK/KH's room. ZZZzzz... So I made my way back home on the MRT while he went back to their room to get his hp. Diaozzz...

6th February 2009, Friday

Went to watch Underworld: Rise of the Lycans at E!Hub with Mr and Mrs Liyang and Boon Leong. The movie is not worth watching man. Nothing spectacular except for all the CG. Not even recommended for a date movie lol. We then went to Mac for drinks before we called it a day.

Lazy To Update

Yeah lazy. In fact my pc is giving me loads of problems, thanks to a stupid virus. That's the price to pay for not installing an anti-virus software. Wahaha! I thought being careful is enough, but it seems like this new virus (Magania) somehow managed to intrude my system without my knowing. Oh well... trying to format my pc now, and Windows XP is giving me problems. Aargghh!! No mood to update a long one. So cut the story short.

24th to 27th January 2009

Me and family went to Muar and Mentakab in Malaysia. In short, was to visit grandmother (mother's mother) and grandparents (father's parents). We played with fireworks again hehehe. A 36-shot fireworks box only lasted 30 seconds lol.

30th January 2009, Friday

I went to meet up with Huimin, Peiyi, Peyyong, Sharon and Siying at Tampines for dinner at Crystal Jade. Then we went to Swensen's for Earthquake! Also a mini birthday celebration for Peiyi, who's officially 28 this year!

Then I went to Jiajun's house for the usual CNY gathering. Lots of people went. We played Black Jack all the way until almost 2am! What's interesting was that Andy was the banker throughout the whole night. He's damn pro and lucky. As usual I'm quite unlucky at gambling, though at one moment I was winning almost $20. In the end I lost $20 lol. Quite a nice gathering though.
