Tribute.. to my Grandfather..

Alright.. Not gg to write in chinese le.. dun wan ppl to say my post alot of wrong words...

Went for night soccer wth SHG and DW... Gd way to exercise.. if not everyday do admin job in air con office bound to grow even fatter...

On my way home juz now.. suddenly thought of my late grandfather...

It was so long ago..I was only in Pri 6.. I nvr got to see him one last time.. And i failed in my unspoken promise to him.. I was so young.. Every weekend when i visit my Grandparents, me and my cousins and brother would be anticipating his return from work.. Cos he'll give each of us a $10 bill juz for 'calling' him.. And then happily continue our games...

I regret not talkin more to him.. Not showing him more care.. concern and respect.. It came so suddenly.. And i have to be the one.. picking up the phone call that i would never never forget.. And then be the one.. breakin the news to my family... The pressure.. the stress.. the emotions were overwhelming.. i would never forget..

But no.. i din break down and cry.. my face was still... no emotions whatsoever.. The day he was cremated, i dropped a few tears.. I was young.. but i was a smart boy... i noe cryin won't help.. he always say i was a smart boy... he muz have had so much hope pinned on me.. i din live up to his expectations..

How different life would have been for me if he was still alive... And i'm sure it'll be in the positive way.. He was always able to pull the family together.. His words were always influential.. His words were golden.. And whenever he praises me, it was special...

But now... he can't praise me anymore.. And no other praises would have any effect near his... I miss him..

I juz wanna end off.. saying i love him.. Yeah.. i care.. i do... And i'm sorry...

新加坡胜利了。。。
打败了泰国。。。

只要笑一笑， 没什么事过不了的。。真的吗？
我被微笑 Pasta 深深的迷住了。。。
那么天真可爱的女生，在真实世界里还存在吗？
那首北极星的眼泪， 好感人啊。。
好想要有这首歌。。
现实生活中，会有这种爱情故事吗？

有时候，有些事情，是不用说出来的。。。
那静静的沉默， 就是一种沟通方式。。
反而就因为对方一个字都不说，或是特意说反话，
会现得更加的明显。。。

。。林杰伦。。
我做错了吗？也许一开始我就错了。。。

下雨了， 刮起了大风，我继续走回家。
那小雨轻轻的打在我的身上，我也慢慢的陶醉在那伤心的歌曲中。
内心不禁感觉到好冷。是那刮风大雨，还是那伤心的曲子， 还是另有原因?

我自己也不知道。

如果你把每一天都当成你在这世上的最后一天，你会做什么呢？
有个人，他天天早上都会对着镜子，
然后对自己说：如果今天是我的最后一天，我会做我将做的事情吗？

好一段时间没再布络上写东西了。 开始作工以后在家里的时间少多了。经常加班，就为了能赚多一点的钱。
钱不是万能的，但没钱是万万不能的。

为什么我用中文写呢？因为是到了最近，我得到了‘高人’ 的帮助，我的电脑才能术写中文。兴血来朝，就决定用中文学啦。 也许会有很多错字，还请大家多多包含。

人说：天下无难事，只怕有心人。看来我是无心吧。 怎么好象那么多难事呢？

因为经常加班，然后睡眠又不足，应此身体似乎变的更弱， 更容易病了。病了真辛苦，连我最爱的食物都变得无味。
嗨。。。

生命中，我们会碰到不同的人，不同的事件。。 有的对你的生活有很大的影响， 有的却不知不觉地擦肩而过。 。
去年今日此门中， 人面桃花相印红。
人面不知何处去， 桃花已就笑春风。

当然没忘了，一首歌：

New Year

~Happy New Year People~

Shifting?

Yo guys.

You should have noticed by now that blogger is pushing for the new google account blogger. Many many new features.

Any objections if i shift the blog over to google? That also means you have to get a google account in order to sign in. You can sign up after i shift the blog. Think the webby will prompt you to get the account.

Please let me know asap! Thanks and Merry Christmas!

And a great New Year!~

Ord loh?

hello doods.

Back again, for the fun and for the sake of relieving boredom. About the hiatus thing on my blog; I guess it's gonna be permanent. Can't really find a reason to return to regularly give people updates on my personal life plus, I'm really lazy. Sloth is my greatest sin I (and almost everyone else who know me) believe.

Now the answer to what makes this puny magic card so fearsome.



Notice that this dude is a 1/2. Meaning it has 2 toughness. Notice the first line in the text box - Double Strike. For the older players who only remember a "first strike", it works like a first strike PLUS a second attack. So in reality this 1/2 dood does 2 damage. 1 from first strike and the other from normal combat. Get it? Good... now for the other card.

Now this card happens to be a Boros* one as well. It kind of complements this dood but the cost is a little prohibitive (as all good cards usually are). This card, at the same time, is said to be rather broken (or imbalanced).

*One of the 10 guilds of Ravnica**
**One of the many worlds in Magic: The Gathering.

Check it out:



Ok, I understand it's very wordy. So I'll try to explain in very simple terms. The first line in the text box "Equipped creature gets +4/+0." is what makes this card combo so well with the other. Assuming this card is "equipped" onto the other creature, what we have now is a 5/2 monster. The number 5 is very scary in this instance because the dood has double strike. This means that pitting him against any other creatures with 5 toughness or less and no first or double strike, would guarantee you a very one-sided fight (that is to say, only his creature dies). Needless to say (but I'm going to anyway), any other creature lacking first or double strike with up to 10 life dies to this sucker.

Not blocking this dood make things even worse. Imagine losing half your life (assuming you had 20). Ouch.

The second paragraph in the text box is the "broken" part. It basically allows you to find almost any burn spells in your library (deck) and use it at the cost of only unequipping the creature and 1R1W (1 red mana and 1 white mana). This is also known as a "tutoring" ability due to the infamous "tutor" cards long ago.
Oh... and unlike enchantments, if the creature it is equipped to dies, it doesn't go to the graveyard along with the creature. It just simply unequips itself. So you could just equip it onto something else.

Off topic:
By the way, if you have nothing else to do, join me in mapling. =X

Well... until next time,

Have a Merry Merry Christmas all!

Rain Rain..

Been raining for so long.. A relief indeed to wake up this morning and see not rain.. hear not the storm.. but see a beautiful sun rising..

Went to town todae wth DM,Fab and JK.. Mainly for DM's Xmas's shopping.. but since we decided to have a gift exchange for Xmas, JK bought his as well.. Not gg to reveal wad is it of course.. haha...
After walking arnd the whole day.. we finally head back home after dinner..

By the time i reach home, i got a freaking headache.. In fact till now i'm still feelin it a little...
Went for bball wth Alf,JK,WK and DW.. wasn't feelin that gd.. tired of course from all the walking.. But the headache was killin me.. Its like a fire burning in my head..
And yeah hell hot headed i was during bball.. Off or On the court.. I juz feel like whacking every ball that comes in.. and bashing my way to the ring.. And yeah.. injured myself..
Elbowed WK in the mouth, lucky his teeth are still in tact.. But my elbow's bruise.. Right arm's bruise as well after getting hit.. Even my shoe wasn't spared as the heel of one of them decided its time to open mouth and 'talk'...

And it juz doesn't help that my chest pain has not gone away... Not totally.. It seems to be recovering.. Gettin better.. but its still there.. niggling pain that juz doesn't go away.. Worried i am.. but i'm givin it more time.. see if it can recover..

Well as the saying goes.. it never rain.. but it pours...

BUT.. wth all the pain, still.. a song:
That's What She Said - Backstreet Boys..

Check out the lyrics.. Its nice.. My all time fav Boyband.. BSB!!

Alan™ - pain all over me.. lets me noe i'm still alive...

S.H.A.G ??

Seems like almost everyone blogged about it already.. Haha.. Had a steamboat/BBQ dinner at DW's place last weekend (sat to be exact).. As JK has more 'beautifully' called it, the whole S.H.A.G (SengHou Affiliations Gang) was there... the 5 in SHG (SengHou Gang) and the 2 affiliations.. haha.. Yup.. we were all there..

Went shopping for food together.. And i'm proud to say that I, or rather, We managed to keep the costs lower than before.. And we also had enuf food to go arnd.. haha.. As mentioned by others, me too agree it was a fun time.. All the talkin cock.. all the foolish things we do.. And of course wth all the new handphones, pictures and videos were taken... the infamous DW one hand 'open egg'.. The mad butcher WK wth his chopper.. Manager KL wth his new signing.. And the golden-haired butch...Yup.. Got all that down in vids and pics...

This morning was so looking forward to bball.. For one reason or another... But sadly, the weather remained unmoved by our prayers and we were forced to cancelled it... Nvrm.. There is always nxt Sun.. Haha..

Well basically that's it for my weekend.. Oh.. I got Eragon le.. Haha.. Going to start reading this week..

And without fail, a song:
会有那么一天 - 林俊杰
an old song i noe..haha.. juz heard it recently..

Alan™ - unemployed and i dun buy 4D.. haha..

Hmmm.. ORD liao...

Well.. Now i'm 3SG(NS) Lim liao..The day i got my IC was a quiet day.. Juz went back to camp.. Headed to the admin office and picked up my IC.. Den went arnd a little.. Shook some hands.. Thanks to all those well wishes..

So now i'm unemployed.. Need to find a job..

I seem to have injured my back.. My lower back has been aching for the past few days.. Feeling very stiff.. Old liao lah.. Not even 21 my whole body already got problem here got problem there... here aching there aching..Sigh...

Nevertheless, i'm gg to try and exercise more... Play more bball.. haha.. Last Sun actually met girls again.. Though JK felt this new grp generally look better than the last, i still tink the last grp of girls we met were better looking..

And a song as usual:
請在我後悔之前離開我 - 飛輪海

Juz felt the lyrics to this song's nice as well..

Hmm.. Er Ge shd be back from his holiday already i tink... Haha..Though we still see no signs of him in the cyber world...

Maple-craze.. Dreaming...

Been spending time packing and cleaning my room.. Shifted the furnitures as well... Haha.. It was hard work.. alot of stuff to sort thru.. threw away lots of stuffs as well.. Found alot of interesting things like my Pri Sch Bus Pass, pictures of myself when i was in pri sch, some bdae cards i've gotten in the past.... and the list goes on.. things wth alot of sentimental value..

Left wth a little more packing to do for some drawers but i'm gg to leave it till another day.. todae will be purely relax.. ahaha...

Oh, started playin Maplestory again.. haha.. The game that i deserted some time back... But somehow, feel like playin it all of the sudden again.. Even managed to party wth Er Ge and whack some jumping pigs ystdae night.. haha.. i'm not the only one who plays maple aye.. Wasted our Da Ge not in the same server as us.. haha..

Rummaging thru all my stuff also unearthed some old cds.. Had difficulty tryin to name some familiar songs as i was ripping them into my com.. Haha..
Chanced upon this song that brought back quite abit of memories.. A very meaningful song:
Dreaming of You - Selena...

Alan™

Late at night when all the world is sleeping.. I stay up and think of you..
And i wish on a star.. that somewhere you are, thinking of me too.....

Io sono così incerto sul mio futuro

Yeah.. Io sono così incerto sul mio futuro..

I still remember, when i was a kid, gettin into a university seems to be like.. THE thing.. its like the finale to my education journey.. Get into a University and i'll be there.. as in.. i'll be 'there' already..
So considering all that i said above, shouldn't i feel happy like a lark when i get a letter telling me my place in Uni is confirmed? That a place has been reserved for me.. Then why is it, that i feel this uncertainty.. this lost feelin.. and not that happy feelin that i shd be gg thru??

Received a couple of letters from NUS todae.. telling me again, that my place in NUS FASS has being reserved, and in it, there are some forms to fill in.. To let them noe when i wanna matriculate and stuff.. and till now, i still dunno wad i wan.. I'm not even sure i wan to be in FASS... Ppl ask, haven u tot about wad u wan to do in uni/life? I did.. But there are no answers in this simple brain of mine.. Maybe i'm juz too dumb for all this studying and this is a sign for me to call it quits once and for all..

So many questions.. no answers..

Italian put: Io sono così incerto sul mio futuro..

Alan™

mEsSy LiFe..

Been spending alot of money AGAIN.. Sigh..
Life's in a mess.. Alot of things to be done and to be bothered about.. But i'm juz lazing arnd everyday.. Sitting in front of my computer.. Rotting away..

2 songs that has been playin in my mind recently:
蔡旻佑's 我可以 and 梁山伯与茱丽叶 by 卓文萱 & 曹格..

Let's talk about 蔡旻佑 first.. This boyish-looking boy is a player of both the violin and piano (as of now i only noe about this 2).. Introduced to the music world by none other than Jacky Wu (the one who brought us Jay Zhou) and said to be the next big thing.. He, like Jay, writes and compose songs as well.. Somehow he resembles David Tao to me..
The song 我可以 was written and composed by 蔡旻佑 himself.. A love song wth a catchy tune.. The MV to this song is really nice.. haha..

梁山伯与茱丽叶's written and composed by 曹格.. A very sweet duet indeed.. 曹格 as usual impresses me with his voice... The control of his 'jia ying' is really great.. But then again, alot of 曹格's songs, u'll hear him gg in and out of jia ying and zhen ying.. So, not surprising to hear so much use of jia ying in this song.. I've even heard him singing at A*Mei's key before.. Haha..
And of course he got himself a really great partner in 卓文萱.. Wth a pretty face and a sweet voice.. Haha..
The MV's nothing much.. U only see the 2 of them singing the song.. Standing arnd, sitting arnd.. Haha..

Well, looking at the previous 2 paragraphs, u'll noe how bored i am.. Haha..


Alan™

PS. I can't seem to tag on the tag board here.. Strange.. Anyway, who's "me" ?

Re: Final Fantasy...

Final Fantasy fever is here people!!

I've succumbed to the disease.

Not complaining though... Don't think you would too hor San Di...

Haha. Happy FF-ing! :)

Final Fantasy....

Yup.. Started playin the game Final Fantasy 7 on PC.. Been hearing about this RPG from secondary school days when JK can ramble for hours on funny names like Cloud and Tifa.. Since i got the time, so decided to give the game a go..

Well, so far i muz say it has a rather well written script.. Though the graphics is like TCMI.. But still, the gameplay and storyline makes up for it.. Dunno whether it'll be able to sustain my interest till the end of the game.. Only time can tell..
And so, its monster fighting, girls courting and travelling arnd the world...
Cloud's a lucky guy.. Haha..

Been playin alot of bball recently.. Morning or evening also have.. No its not because we're hoping to see the same grp of girls again.. Rather, its something which we can do and yet not spend money.. And i guess it also helps a little to keeping our lifestyle healthier..

And so for now, its like a holiday period for me.. Juz put aside everything and anything else.. University admission, future career, money, jobs, haze, bike lessons, camp.. and girls for the matter (seems like recent conversations wth my grp of frens usually can't avoid this topic)..

Off to take a hot shower, before continuing my adventure in FF7, then perhaps read a little of my book, before i call it a day, and start gg to my own Final Fantasy adventure in a faraway place.. Wth MY Tifa and Aeris.. Haha..

Alan™

This song is nice.. Listen out for the lyrics:
一个人的行李 - 戴佩妮

Yup.. As mentioned by DW and JK in their respective blogs, the post ystdae was a common post of all 3 of us.. A common blog post..

Managed to catch The Ghost Game at JK's place after bball cos DW bought the VCD.. Hmm..They started off rather well.. But the ending.. Well.. Perhaps to leave room for a second episode.. I dunno.. Haha.. Anyway, the effects are rather well done..

Work ystdae was as expected.. Nothing gained and earned after almost 2hrs.. Well.. As i mentioned, it was expected.. Anyway, not like i would have spent the time doing anything better.. Haha..

Todae stilll on off.. Though most of the rest seems to be back to camp.. Yawnz.. Probably juz gg to spend the time lazing away at home todae..

Tmrl's the only time i need to go back to camp for this whole week.. For now, back to one of my fav past time, listening to music doing juz about nothing..

Alan™

This song's melody is stuck in my head...
听妈妈的话 - 周杰倫

BBall Session...

Played bball this morning.. In less than half an hour after we started, 3 girls started playin ABC on our half of the court.. And soon, we were playin 3V3 wth them.. The game was full of laughter and jokes.. haha..

Unlike other girls, the 3 of them were really enthu bout the game.. The way they mark us is like, any tighter and they'll have to hug us.. Due to the fear of making too much body contact, we were rather reserve in the game.. But we still enjoyed the game and we all had a gd laugh..

We all agreed, that one of the girls actually looked like Hebe.. Lolz.. Wth her hair, dress sense, and her cute face, she really does resembles Hebe.. Woo!! Looks aside, she can play the game pretty well as well..

And the other girl reminds us of YanHan from ODAC.. We made a mental note to ask YanHan the nxt time we see her if she has a sister..

During our post-bball talk over brunch, we also wondered, wad kind of shampoo the girls used.. Maybe cos they were markin us real tight, but we could smell the shampoo on their hair.. And er... its kinda nice.. haha.. Well, that's how close they were to us when they defend..

The rain came in and we were forced to stop.. And so the session ends wth a hurried goodbye as we seek shelter.. But before we parted, we agreed to play again nxt weekend..

Its tata for now.. Till the bball session nxt sun..

Offs and Leaves...

Its Sun.. BUT, that does not mean i'm gg back to work tmrl.. Hooray.. My absence from camp will be until Tue, Wed being the startin of the workin week for me.. And guess wad, thurs is my last working day for the week.. Yeah.. Haha..

Well, juz wanna say a word of thanks to all those who send me their best wishes on my bdae.. Yup.. Thanks alot ppl..

Somehow, i manage to accidentally delete my save file for GTA San Andreas.. OMG!! Months of blood and sweat.. All the time i spent on the game.. Gone.. Juz lidat.. Sigh.. How stupid can i get.. Decided that i'll slowly start playin the game all over again.. Like Da Ge says.. Now that u've been thru it, this time it'll be faster.. Haha.. I hope so..

Juz had a bball session this morning.. The PSI's not really that high (70+).. So not that bad.. Though the weather was real hot somehow.. Or humid rather..
Juz now there was a passin shower.. Hope that helps to bring the haze away from our sunny little island.. Haha..

Nothing to do now.. or rather, can't get myself to do anything but waste the time away.. waiting for someone to initiate some brilliant plan later..haha..

退后 -周杰倫 is still the song in my head..

Alan™

3 days MC....

In case anyone's interested, i'm given 3 days MC.. Well, i was referred to TTSH A&E ystdae after i reported sick for sore eyes.. The MO juz wanted to be sure it wasn't anything serious.. So send me to see an eye specialist.. Got 3 days MC from the eye specialist lor..
Anyway, its much better already..

So bored at home.. can't go out since i'm on MC (furthermore its conjunctivitis, which is contagious).. Had been playin GTA San Andreas alot recently.. Rather violent game I muz admit.. Haha..
Courtesy of TYS, i also have Company of Heroes in my com.. Not bad.. My com can still handle the graphics.. Very realistic game and for those who like RTS games, i'll second TYS on his point: this game is something u wouldn't wanns miss...

As we come to the end of the year, all the guys are now lookin forward to one big thing.. ORD that is.. That also means, its time to get a job.. So gotta start searching..

I'm intending to 're-vamp' my room after i ORD or probably can get started before.. Its gg to be a budget one.. Juz wanna give my room a new look.. Anyone got lobang for cheap furnitures? (hmm.. usually i would rather be the one tellin ppl i got lobang.. Haha)...

Also made up my mind to get back to reading.. Been awhile since i've been reading.. Will start by finishin up The Broker..

Alan™

Song in my head: 退后 - 周杰倫
