Big day, long day, tired day, familiar day.

Big/long/tired- I woke up generally early and prepared to wear my new elbow long shirt out to meet with Cloud, Finian and Mr Lee. Kung Fu Panda was somewhat hilarious but what i noticed more was the excellent details of the motion pictures. It felt like the panda was created around real and actual objects like fine china and room features. We bade farewell to Cloud at Plaza Sing and hopped onto a train to City Hall.
I got a Chariots of Fire DVD from Sembawang store! Omg I just had to buy this old movie about Olympics. I never thought it came back into production! Oh yes maybe it was to coincide with the upcoming Summer Games.
We're going to PC Show 2008 ! Finian bought a Sony T2 camera($429 and came with so damn much freebies) and I got a pair of earphones wtih hooks($19). I was thinking about using it while I go for runs, but HEYYY where's the iPod Shuffle? For now I'll just use it now and then indoors. Then I went to great lengths to reach @club asiasoft at Tower 3 to get my original maple account back. The shop was so hard to notice since it's hidden by groups of diy fashion shops around it. I know you might call me stupid for getting back the account, but I had feelings for it and just had to get it back. It was the initial link or beginning of my acquaintance with IsPerfect and her boss in the game. I simply felt empty playing a new account under my cousin's name. Not that I minded it, but I yearned for my own piece of belonging to the game.


Familiar-Before I even reached the grounds of the PC Show, I brushed past Eugene Tan(my fellow clerk in camp) and then DaviD Chua(my jc classmate, great guy). We toured the place and I met Yi Jia(sec 3/4 classmate) being a promoter for HP ! I just know too many people, or Singapore too small, or I just went to the right places? I learned from her that Gary and Yong Zen(both sec 3/4 classmates too) was working at the Microsoft Xbox 360 booths upstairs! Too bad I didn't have time to visit them before they get enlisted ^^ haha finally their time has come! I hope they do fine and dun get themselves serious injuries.

Shit la. Wasted another 30% overall dex. That costs me 2.7mil. I have no idea what to do with that 2 dex 6 slots bathrobe. I'm going to sleep early and watch soccer at midnight.

Haizzz heartache ah. I can't believe I failed all 9 10% overall dex on every single fresh bathrobe I tried. I only passed a 70% and with 7 slots left. I almost thought of npc-ing that away to forget this unlucky night. My mood changed so much before and after the scrolling disaster. I'll stick with training up with 24 2x exp and earning money to buy scrolled stuff instead. I hope Mel's words are true, both that i can leech exp at lvl 58 and my exp will shoot.

I seeked my sister's help to get me 2 Colgate toothbrushes so I can use them both in camp and home. The one I'm using at home has a rubber core in the bristles and produces a yuckky "Thuck, thuck" sound when it brushes across my teeth. But I still feel clean and pleased.

BUT I'M NOT PLEASED WITH MAPLESTORY! It had a reported 0100-1000 game client update and I still couldn't go in just now up till 9pm. I didn't try after that because I went to practise piano.

I did the 3rd 8k run today and it was harder than the 2nd attempt. I'm training for a 16km long run so I need to train as much as I can. I hope my officers can let me do my jump training after AHM is over. It is impossible now to carry on the AA because it is too tiring for my legs. I may finally know why Singapore cannot get her athletes to go for goal in the Olympics. We athletes can't do much about our usual routine training while serving the country. Right now I'm just thinking about training with long-distance runs to build up my fitness to prep for IPPT and the jumps training that will come later.

Both my idol Staffan and Stefan Holm is 32 this year. Stefan should be still competing but my idol seemed out of the scene since August last year. Wow, it has been 4 years since Stefan struck gold at the Athens Olympics. I am not sure if he still has it for podium finish this year. I'll never forget the both of them in this life. Good job Swedes.

Gd Night all.

Hello, I just finished up a new website for my investment tracking needs. I pinned the link under Affiliations.

-it rox when you learn new things and they work your way, or some new way.

If you saw the new Indiana Jones movie(heck with the aberration of the multiple ancient locations), you would've noticed the ancient buildings full of steps. That's Machu Picchu, the most famous symbol of the Inca Empire, which was built around the year 1450. I first saw it on a documentary late at night when I was in a Genting hotel room. The structures were astounding accurate in construction. Especially for their normal walls, it is pieced together by hundreds of unshapely rocks to form a neat wall with no protrusions. And to remind you again, there weren't cement back then and these walls stood the test of time! I just googled some aerial shots of the site and wow, it's almost like an old dimension tucked away on our planet.

I swear I'll bring back photos of me and Machu Picchu as background in future. Hope blogspot and also this piece of promise will still be around.
I had a doomsday night on Monday. I was eager to try new things on a new horizon, to escalate my interest and excitement in investing. I went to bravehost.com to start a new website so that I could pluck my personal investment sheets off the net wherever I was. But obvious the learning curve was too great and I couldn't even get a working link on the website I created to direct to my uploaded files. Frustration abound, I gave up and moved on to check out a widely-acclaimed tool called MSN Investment Toolbox. The original website gave me troubles because it couldn't recognise that I had the required latest IE ver7 (I just installed it following the MSN instructions). I went to a tech website and got a working link that allows me to bypass that verification page of MSN. The thing is, what i experienced and got in the end was nothing similar to what the Investment Toolbox had advertised on the website. Those had many charting stuffs and such, I was barely using the website's online tools. Bleaugh~

Tonight I'm switching to other hosting websites to try my luck. As for mapling and the MSN toolbox, that can wait larh!

I went to Tiong Bahru last night for a movie with my colleagues. We've got edmund, keng sen from my office and eugene tan, kaiwen and ah too from the other "sister" office. The Indiana Jones movie was "Wooahhh...amazing mechanism....wtf? got alien?" for me haha...

My bowman went back to Ellinia from Ossy and i came up with this picture hehe...

Today's Saturday! Thank God for giving us weekends! But I haven't got a clue how im going to spend the late afternoon and night. Can't maple all day la...

I can return my investment books and get new ones. Seriously, I'm like the author in one investment book i read. I won't lift a single page of a book that isn't about investment. I tried finding Picoult's books in library but all of them are out. I'll try to find some sci-fi books if i can. Yeah I'll do it. Library's just a 5min walk away :) And thank God for giving me such an excellently located home.

I was fascinated on Vesak Day because i leveled up to 53 and got to use my 77 wa 2 luk liu bei dagger. The weapon attack difference was +25 and my damage went well pass 2000. I was seeing 6 rows of 300/400+ dmg on a ghost lantern. I wanted to go home on tuesday badly to play but got caught in work until 12am so here comes my sad life again... What I will only say is that I was simply forced to waste my time that night. With no dinner provided, that was the worse bit of it. I had to kope Edmund's cup noodles to fill my stomach.

I am so going to watch the UEFA Champions' League tonight. Even it's aired at 2.30am, im going for it... Hey talking about that, I should catch some sleep now. I've checked and Singapore Pools put the odds at

I've created another excel watch workbook, this time it's for mutual funds of USA. I'm tracking my choices through Morningstar.com and I just bought my first trade in the wrong amount. I spent 9.6k in it because I thought $46x 200= $5200. Damn. It's demo only.

If you could only watch 1 Youtube video, here's what i recommend.

Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

Video Information: Randy Pausch is a professor at Carnegie Mellon and he's been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told he's got 3-6months of good health left. Here, he gives his last lecture at the university and talks about helping others with their childhood dreams, and what he wants us to learn from him personally. There are other Youtube videos on lectures he gave, but this one is epically the best. 76mins long of life-long lessons. Anyone could learn from what he lectures on.
