First 2 rare card I got from my first starter pack and deck respectively. Greatly inspired by Lhurgoyf then, and I am extremely proud killing my friends in one hit with average to 30 damages. When we first play our deck tend to contain mostly creatures.

Icy Manipulator is useless in Ice Age version, which compared to Beta which doesn't required tapping of cards...

Can you still remember the first rare card you got from your booster pack?

First day at DE consultant

March 29, 2010

My first day at DE, disappointed loh. Last time when I was doing environmental job, I hope it was a civil job. Now I gotten a civil job, I hoped that I had stick with environmental job at the first place.

As a drafter, I need to help engineers draw CAD according to their requirement. I thought just some simple drawing like detailing or some cross section. But hell no loh. It was a whole effing site plan like a few blocks and it needs to be detail down to beam and column level. Now all the small little figure were so tiny I just wanted to fall asleep.

Its not easy job. 8 full working hour plus 1 hour break in between. So every day 9 hours and I don't know if this is the kind of job for me. I contemplated to study environment now. I now prefers water treatment over all the beam beam beam. I am so sick of structural stuff now.

It appears that I made a right choice by choosing Sembcorp. Water treatment is like 10 time more exciting than Civil lah.

Then this question suddenly oops into my head.

"Is it better to stay focused? Or better to stay balance?"

I had always a person who likes to put one apple into each basket. I love knowledge that comes in quantities over qualities. From young till now I went for job that gives me maximum exposure to a lot of field like F&B, Sales, Data Entry, etc. However, this leave me half a basket full of everything. I cannot expertise in anything.

Is it then better to stay focus in one particular field and excel in it? But leaving your other knowledge limited?

A tough question

March 26, 2010

They say its the person and not the camera that makes the picture.

I totally agree. Before we even think about exploring options of aperture or shutter priority, we need to compose a picture properly. A good camera person fully utilize an under rated camera.

Well, I stumble upon some sites which feature some really nice picture taken with the "Silver Surfer" or the "Dark Vader", name after the silver and black version of N82 respectively. I still can't get enough of N82 and yes I am gloating.

Not having a DSLR doesn't give us the excuses of not taking stunning pictures. Lets see some really nice shot submitted by all the N82 community.

Can you believe it?

Results released

March 21, 2010

Alright, got a little bit of catching up to do on my blog. Sorry to myself, I didn't feel like blogging much recently. Not because nothing to updates but because I had too many show to watch. Survivor, Beauty and the Geek, The Real Huster etc. My tumblr blog will be a place where I note down favorable quotes from all these show. Like keeping me inspired.

Okie, gonna note some of my major happen since last day of examination. Not lining in particular chronological order.

Went around hunting for jobs, and sort of shortlisted by a company which require me to do Auto CAD drawing. At the same time, also went from training at Singapore Pool as a tele operator. I was harder than I thought it was suppose to be. So job wise is much.

Okie, congratulate myself for passing my Dipolma from Civil and Environmental Engineering. Last semester was complete mess up, and I had like prepared for the worst. Turn out, it was better than I anticipated. One less thing to worry about.

Anyhow apply for courses in Uni. Didn't really matters to me. Study or not study, I leave it to fate. Applied for Sembcorp Undergrad scholar and surprise to find that I need to sit for the last interview. Sianzz

Most happening event this month, or probably this year will be; I am in trouble with the law again. D***k *ri*ing. Really unluckly turns of event. Attending court end of the month. Hope judge can give me a lenient punishment. However I did stayed as positive as possible. "Sai Ong fall from the horse, don't know lucky or unlucky"

Attended Elisa farewell party and ate hell lots of food. A very nice place and I am still waiting for Felicia to upload the picture into her FB. So slow one.

All time best movies that you don't want to miss

March 08, 2010

I am so embarrassed to say that I had just finish watching Armageddon.

Armageddon was produced in 1998 and I watched it in 2010. Well, 12 years late but let me tell you. I was astonished. I can't believe it was made 12 years ago. The effects were so dynamic that it totally put "2010" to shame, and I cried 3 times.

Good movies are hard to come by nowadays. A lot of a time, we were left disappointed with all the so called Blockbuster at the cinema. Seriously, apart from those essential elements like, creditable director, handsome/pretty casts and a good love story, personally I think a great theme song should go along with it. Like "I don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith, sure it will strike the movie's impression deep into our subconsciousness.

Liv Tyler & Ben Affleck

Since I am already talking about Armageddom, might as will I mention Liv Tyler. Whao! People were saying the hottest girl on earth is Megan Fox. Common lah. You should watch Armageddon thriller and see how gorgeous Liv Tyler was. (ya, deliberately uses past tense)

I really wouldn't want to ruin her image so I didn't upload her recent picture. It kind of like no one's appearance can stands the test of time. Especially women.

Below a list of movie I think no one should miss.

For the convenience, I attached the movie theme songs. They are all very great songs and show a bit of the movie. Really have to watch these.

Armageddon (1998)

Aerosmith - I don't want to miss a thing

Pearl Harbor (2001)

The Chinese version ( 派山倒海) shows more visual.

Faith Hill - There you'll be

张惠妹妹- 派山倒海

Titanic (1997)

Celine Dion - My heart will go on

Seletar Lvl 30 Buffalo Wings - reverse peristalsis

March 07, 2010

Before reading this entry, you will want to load the video below. It takes awhile

Time: 5:57

With a lot of anticipation since the Mexican buffalo wing, level 5. We went back again for more punishment. This time, Weiheng joined in our action. The daredevil mission. Level 10!!

This time, we took a cab in.

We reached there at around 5pm on the Friday evening. Well, I should say its very empty. Only us and another table. Unlike last Sunday night. Click here to read our first attempt on level 5.

While waiting for Ethan who's on the way, we ordered some beer and cheezy fries to go along first. A very nice place to chill out and catch up with friends.

Once Ethan reached, we got the challenge started. Ordered level 10!!

Ethan not someone who enjoyed spicy food. His furthest achievement was level 5 and he stopped. He wanted to sit out of the whole performance and be our camera man for the day.

Level 10 was double spicy than level 5. Its very hot but still bearable. We even offered to trade one level 3 with the next table of girls. I made sure they do, cause I want to see them jumping around in pain. However that did not happen.

After finished level 10, we were not convinced. Is that legendary level 30 really that UNBEARABLE?? With much daring action to both of them, they agreed to try LEVEL 30!!!!!!

Level 30 doesn't look edible. Does it even look like wings???

The "Aftermath"

The spiciness of level 30 is beyond words can describe. Tongue numb is common, its burns your mouth and you felt pain in your jaws all the way to your eardrum. Yes. Your ear can literally feel the chilli. I don't know, something definitely is working on our system. I can't really hear properly, like masking sound surrounding me. Cold sweat rolls from the top of my head. Running nose and stuff.

The best thing is, for the first time of my life. I am like going through pain from laboring a baby. My stomach burns so hard and cramped like as though a trunk run over my stomach inside. I could not hold anymore. Only 2 option left:

Faint on the spot so I don't feel the pain anymore
Or puke out the chicken

I just went Merlion mode. Puking everything out including my cheezy fries. That's $50 in total. The puke was like cost me $50.

Anyone interested in the price of wings

level 10 = $23

level 30 =$32

Beer jug =$20

Cheezy fries =$8

There is what I vomited.

I wants to be a winner, but well I think I had to really take my hat off Liping. She is the first to finish our challenge. We were awarded certificates of completion level 30 and our name will be up on the challenge board.
