RSYC Gaming Fun

Posted by HELiX

Insignificantly, today was National Day.

Significantly, today was a public holiday.

…

Being insignificant as it is, I spent my day not at the National Stadium or watching the live broadcast on TV, but rather, out with my friends at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club. Yupp.

Supposedly, it was meant for us to do fishing, but the Youth Room with the computers meant that we were going to spend the day (and night) behind the keyboard in what we call a LAN party. And so we did.

Fishing was pointlessly insignificant, with the fishes apparently having a day off due to the National Day holiday, and the weather either having us baked alive or threatening a downpour. So… I’ll skip that part.

LAN gaming took up most of our time in fact, and it started off with an hour or two at Team Fortress Classic, with my team barely winning XJ’s by 5-4. Then we moved on to more TFC after lunch, with the final score 5-5. Following that was, well, Counter Strike, and my team got pwned by XJ, so I shall not elaborate further on that. And nevertheless, we turned to Ricochet after that, and once again, XJ being one of the world’s top 16 players in that game, we got pwned badly.

Following all that hours of sheer gaming fun which I couldn’t put down in words well, we had dinner, where XJ made us feel uber guilty. Well, we ordered dishes that included Curry Fish Head, Thai Crispu Chicken, Soft-Shell Crab and it totalled up to about $10 per pax, but XJ decided to be a nice rich guy and paid for all 5 of us that stayed on. =___=

And after dinner, of course, it was back to more gaming and it was Half Life: Deathmatch Classic this time. In that game, XJ was apparently used an alien model for his character, and since his frags and score was disgustingly high, we labelled him as an alien, and then all of 4 us humans decided to 4 vs 1 him. Imbar as it may sound, but with XJ’s sick 1337 gaming skillz, 4v1 was a damn fair game. And unbelievably, we ended our almost-10-hour-long gaming marathon with a game called, er, Think Tanks =___=

Hmm, ohh and there’s WCG tomorrow! Hopefully there’s something for me to win there… =)

National Day Eve & Edrei and Cheering Comp & Edrei and Astro Celebration & Edrei.

Posted by HELiX

Well, today was National Day Eve and as usual, some fun and interestings stuffs accompanied it.

Whatever that took place on the field, I had no idea, ‘cos I didn’t really care and was talking about WCG and stuffs. Geez.

Anyway, the cheering competition results was kinda expected, with the noticeable trend from the previous years being rather obvious. =X In fact, I was told of this trend when was I was sec 1 by the then astro head, Choon Hwee.

Most interesting of all was watching Edrei cheer. Well, Edrei’s performance was sensationally… lag. He does the actions and movements about 1 second slower than rest of 202, and seemed constantly lagging behind the rest for the entire cheer. n1 lol. And thanks for the ROFLs and LOLs the ST sec 4s had from watching ya =D

Of course, not too forget, the last of the sing patriotic songs thingy. Well, we were bored after standing there and watching the screen blankly for the previous songs, and it happened that XJ and Nicholas (the sec 1) were together. So, me, DW and the rest of the ST sec 4s bunch convinced them to come over, making XJ think that we wanted to lift Nicholas up. Instead, we grabbed XJ and pwned him lol. It was one hell of a fun time watching him scream “PUT ME DOWN YOU @$#%!! PUT ME DOWN!!”. And Nicholas was much more willing.

After all that, we headed for BP Plaza to have our astro celebration treat for the NUS-NTU victory. Well, Swensen’s again it was, and I gonna admit that along with Pizza Hut, these’s treats are gettin’ boring and dull =X But not that I will have anymore of it in the near future tho. =(

And as usual, Edrei was being the sick-in-the-head self-proclaimed “nice guy” with all his horrendous literary skillz, bio talk, attempts at being “nice guy”, and flirting with teachers. And as you can probably imagine, when Edrei reads this, he she it would be arching his her its eyebrow insofar as it is possible for a stick to do so. Or something similar at least.

Somethingness.

Posted by HELiX

Blah. Here goes something.

Well, this afternoon, I talked to Mr Loh about the annual Primary School Science Quiz (which our school organises) for this year, and seems like he isn’t so supportive after all. Apparently, he claims that we have a lot of events already for this year and blah blah blah . On top of that, he added that from now ’till september or something, robotics are having an intensive training schedule blah blah blah and a hell lots of excuses that are either too illogical or doesnt relate to me in any sense. So, there’s a good chance that our annual tradition of the science niche programme gets screwed in my last year of possibly organising it. Bleh. (Altho I’m trying to get Rong’en to save it. Eh.)

And tomorrow I’m gonna look like the Indonesian flag in my red house tee + school long pants uber awfully 1337 combo. Bleh. And following the harsh day of watching people either marching for the forced national pride or cheering shouting their heads off, I have 4 3 possible appointments to go for, which includes 103’s detention astro celebration lunch-or-movie-or-both-hopefully, movie with friends or bowling with other friends. Oh wait, there’s home sweet home too.

And on wed and thurs, there’s… LAN party, fishing and WCG! w00ts. And a.maths homework.

Geek Stuffs!

Posted by HELiX

Umm. Nothing to blog about.

So… I’m just gonna crap ’bout certain geek stuffs like what I bought today.

Uh, let’s start off with some news.

So, Apple has their iPod, iMac, iTunes, iWork, iLife, iSight, and lately, rumour has it of an iPhone. What iPhone you ask? There are so many pictures (fake or real, I have no idea) of these so called iPhone, iCall, iChat, iTalk, iHavenoidea things that it would seem like Apple has a whole department that does nothing but leak fake products to us.


And in slightly more insignificant news, well, my dad bought my bro an ATi X1600 Pro graphics card, and apparently my other bro has the same. So putting them both together…

And somehow you get different colours for the same product. =__=

Even more insignificant, after 2 years of using the 3M Precise Mousing Surface (with the unfortunate acronym of PMS), I thought it’s ’bout time I changed my mousepad. So I bought this.

Steelpad QcK! Ain’t the cheapass mousepads that y’all use that are comparable to the table top. This piece of overpriced cloth cost me $20 and it pwns! =P

Astro amusement! =D

Astro members are a great source of amusement.

Eek!

And it doesn’t end there. Check out Weide’s nick:
Attention!!! Mars Trnsit will be on 27/08/2006–Dun miss it! Contact me for more details!!!

First of all, if there’s ever gonna be a Mars transit, we’d better start worrying now — Serious. Transit is when a planet is seen moving across the face of the Sun from Earth, eclipsing in a sense. In order for a Mars Transit to occur, Mars has to be within the orbit of Earth, so that makes us further away from the Sun than Mars which is already 1.6 AU away from the Sun… @$#% Another ice age?! >.
And he went on to send me a ppt of this apparent Mars, er, opposition (that’s the correct term for that matter) occuring on the 27th of August.

To quote the ppt,
“Mars will be easy to spot. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye.”

And they’re even nice enough to provide a comparison. o_O

LOLOLOLOLOLOL =D

Okay, to get this straight…

Will Mars appear extremely close and bright later this month? No. Regardless of numerous urban legends circulating, Mars will appear relatively normal in August. Mars is made one of its closest approach on 2003 August 27, when it appeared slightly brighter than it had in nearly 60,000 years.

At that period of 2003, I remembered this myth started by circulating as a chain email (and it seems like this email circulates annually since then around this period of time, only with the year changed). Well, it’s mostly true at that time, ‘cept for the fact that Mars will not (and will never) appear as large as the Moon. And if Mars actually did, once again we should start worrying like hell, ‘cos the gravitation tug between Earth and Mars would be so insanely strong that we might very well be on the route to collision. w00ts.

Um… let’s just say that I’m not inclined to have a stargazing smacked right during my prelims for a mythical (if not highly dangerous) event. =/

Contradictionism

Posted by HELiX

“HELiX is a man of contradictions.” - 1nertia, 03/08/06

I won’t disagree nor agree, but maybe I should point out that…

1nertia is a man (if applicable, ‘else replace term if necessary) of contradictions. Too.


So what do we have here? Right, an interesting (sweeping) statement that the world’s tens of millions of bloggers who do blog-linking are, well, gays.


Maybe he’s just hinting that he has some kinda problem with his xq28 region of his X chromosome (or to put it simply he’s well, eh, ghey)… but sorry dood, I’m straight.


Thanks for the sarcasm at that time, very much appreciated thank you. Now could you ask yourself that question?

And I’m tired of reading the chatlogs. Uh.

Tagness. Again.

Posted by HELiX

Jade tagged me. Bleh.

Rules: Write sentences starting with the words in bold…

I am I.

I said um.

I want so many things that I can’t possibly list them all down here.

I wish I had what what I wanted, duh =__=

I miss astro comps T__T

I hear uh, silence.

I wonder why did I actually bother with this.

I regret getting started on this.

I am… isn’t this repeated?!

I dance… not.

I sing the National Anthem ‘cos the blardy school forced us to sing.

I am not anything like Mrs 103.

I cry… not.

I’m not always looking forward to doing such tags. In fact, I never did.

I make this tag totally pointless with my nonsense.

I write with a horrendous handwriting that had Mrs Hoe minus 2 marks occasionally from my compos.

I’m confuse about illogical stuffs. Like this tag.

I need to start studying for my prelims and O levels now.

I should start studying for my prelims and O levels now. (Yay recycled point! =P)

I tag 1nertia, Hazel & Jasmine.
