11/11/2008 Invaded by me, your sister

2008-11-11T04:08:00.007-05:00

There are years lost behind us,
full of words we never spoke,
and now we have our separate lives
and less time to share together.
But in my heart I have always felt the love we have,
and neither distance nor time
can take away the bond we forged as children...
Growing up, we played and fought, talked and laughed.
Beyond the fun and games,
beyond the battles we waged,
we found in each other unending support
and a lifelong friend.
Through thick and thin, and difficult times,
we emerged together as one,
protecting each other from the world.
I know that if either of us ever need anything,
we can count on the other to give our all
and help in every way possible.
Perhaps words are not always necessary in our relationship,
because we both know what's there.
But today I want to take the time to remind you
how much I really care
and thank you for all that you have been to me.
I could never ask for, want, or need a better brother,
because I have the best in you.
I love you!

I love you brother. Thanks for your support.

It was my first time receiving a card from you..Thank you..I'll try to stay strong. Elfa, if you're reading this, I love you too. Thanks for being there for the family.

Some interesting this that i hear from my first few days in fall 08

2008-08-29T08:47:00.002-04:00

When u speak the truth, you dun have to remember anything.

One day i was walking in nyc and i saw a delivery truck. There was printing on both sides of the truck. It says " We speak English" on one side. On the other side " We delivery"

When u touch water and u feel that it is cold what do u call that?
Many people will say that it is the temp.
Now put your hand in the freezer for 30 sec then put your hand in the water, how do you feel?
Its hot everyone will say.
So is it the temp? no the correct term is call " heat transfer "

Tell me i will forget. Show me i will remember. Let me do it, i will understand!

Movies that i watched during summer holidays!

2008-08-29T08:30:00.004-04:00

Watched this movie at pacific place in indo. This movie have got no twist at all. everything too straight forward. too many graphical scene. animation is quite fake. fell asleep twice during the show. maybe it is because of the seats lol. it is actually not a seat but couple bed. quite nice experience but too comfy for me. the first 2 part of mummy is so much better.

my rating 6/10

critic say that this movie isnt good. but friends around me told me critic is bullshit. so i went to watch it at marina gv. turns out the movie is funny. but the only flaw is that is it a bit slow. certain part in the movie really make me laugh like hell lol! watch it with a lot of friends typically singaporeans cause this movie is all about singaporean's life a very realistic show about our life back home in singapore.

My rating 7.5/10

This movie is good ! lots of actions. all the stunt is all real time. graphics is so real. the moves everyrthing is quite good. this show is jus violence. not suitable for the young. there are also a few humour in the movie. its good.!! maybe because i am an action lover haha.

my rating 8/10

Watched this movie with mum. the cinema is so small. nothing much in this show. me and my mum guessed who the killer was even before they announced it. And pls nv nv go to cine to watch in theatre 11 it is just small lol. but enjoy the movie cause i am watching with my mum and not anybody else. no matter how bad the movie is as long as watching it with my mum, it will turn out good.

My rating 5/10
My rating when watching with my mum 10/10 priceless!

Bloody movie. movie flow was ok till the end >.< i like the movie but the ending such! big time. i should have write the story for them. too many editing. many scene was cut off. should scare the audience more. there wasnt any shocking part. the ending is really stupid thats all i can say.

my rating 6.5/10

sch started >.<

2008-08-26T08:50:00.002-04:00

2 new movies watched!

2008-07-21T19:07:00.002-04:00

This movies is the best batman show.. It broke all American records in its opening days!! The joker is just fantastic. Its shows me the darkest side of everything, how things can become bad ^^. Many people complained that the movie is too lengthy, but think again without all that story, maybe u would have said that the movie lack a storyline ^^

My rating 9.5/10

My rating 6.5/10

The movie should be good. Two things i dislike about the movie, one is that there is battle scene and sexual scene cut in that movie to make the movie pg >.< wrong move guys! secondly, i jus hate the word to be continued at the end. It makes this movie sounds like a tv drama ..

SURPRISE, it's us!

2008-07-09T12:39:00.008-04:00

My overall rating 6/10
lots of lame jokes that make sense after a while that makes it barely scrape through my rating lol

My overall rating 8/10
lots of actions that makes it a fun movie to watch. jus cant stop lovin that Audi R8!

My overall rating 8/10
I went in thinking oh man this is jus another animation. Same concept everything same as all other animations. It was true but this time it made me come out with a stomach ache. Waiting for ice age 3 and cars 2 ^^

My overall rating 8.5/10
This is definitely a fun movie to watch. actions looks fake, but come on this is a brand new concept. The story is good. i love the cross country race in that movie. It shows that what ever trouble u face, ur family will always be by ur side to support u, and also support in what ever u do!!

My rating 6.5/10
Who ever say that it is good, pls go into the theatre and watch this show again. Notice how bad the CG was? actions was bad. jus like watching 2 guy in a wwe cage match lol The plot jus sux. No twist at all, everything too straight forward. Hulk born, Gov wan to destroy him, accidentally create another monster, hulk save the world by defeating that monster. oh come on 1 hour of talking and another 40 mins of bad cg. compare this with spiderman and batman and think about it guys lol ^^

My overall rating 8.5/10

This movie to me is good, it shows the nature of human being, on how easily people will be influence by someones words. The twist is great but i already knew it was coming but my friends dont and i didnt spoile it for u guys in the theatre lol! i intially give this movie a 8/10 but with angelina jolie inside the movie i add a 0.5 to it lol.

My overall rating 7/10
It was an ok movie. the only scene i like is the steath seigh of the castle. the rest i jus felt dry i jus dunno why. maybe it is because of the kids acting. something is jus lacking the movie. i guess it is due to the editing part.

My overall rating 8/10
a very good comedy! lame but it was one hell of a laugh. reconmended to people who is not in the mood to watch a movie. go in and ur mood will change ^^

My overall rating 1/10
Worst movie i have watch in months. this movie sux! lousy story. waste of my time. i would rather watch tv at home. acting sux. dun make sense at all. jus some people who wan to protect the trees came up with sux lousy idea to make a movie about trees killing people. i give it a 1 cause maybe only people with super super super super deep understanding can understand this movie. a truly happening movie i can say lol!

My overall rating 5/10
guess what i was trying so hard not to fall asleep during that movie. i jus didnt like the concept. action was ok. story was ok. for me it had no twist in that show. everything is normal. their comcept on using some old camera method to film is not cool to me. 5 points to harrison ford for his effort ^^

My overall rating 7/10
Plot was ok. twist was decent. action was ok. jus that the flying in the sky thing is jus too fake lol. maybe cause i have seen better movies with better cg effect. ^^

going back to sg soon very very happy ^^

2008-07-09T08:44:00.002-04:00

My hot air balloon flies^^

2007-12-11T02:07:00.000-05:00

My final project for eas140 is to make a hot air balloon and then write a 4 pages essay on problems related to my choice of engineering which is aerospace engineering. We did the whole plan and went on to buy the materials. We did all calculations and the hot air balloon was suppose to float. We made 3 balloons and all 3 sink instead of floating. So we gave up and go to sch to hand in the project. But a miracle happened. When it was our turn to show the balloon, it floated. We were damn lucky. Was wondering why it didn't float when we tryout in my dorm ^^ out of 10 teams only 3 floated ^^

Previous Projects:

Flight.

Portable shelter.

Electric case studies.

Making of bio diesel.

The Buffalo Police Department is investigating an off-campus shooting incident that occurred in the University Heights district Tuesday, November 20, at around 1:30 a.m., according to Gerald W. Schoenle Jr., chief of police, University at Buffalo.

The victim was driving westbound on Winspear Avenue between Bailey Avenue and Main Street. The victim reported hearing 2-3 shots as the back window of his vehicle was hit. Flying broken glass hit the victim in the back right shoulder, causing a minor injury. The victim saw 2 black males on foot in the area at time of the incident (described as a tall black male in dark, baggy clothing and a shorter black male dressed similarly). The two males left the area on Winspear heading eastbound.

The victim approached a University Police officer on Main Street to report the incident. Officers from the University Police and the Buffalo Police responded, but the suspects were not located.

Everyone was planning to go to level, but then both Faddy and i was too sick of level cause we have been there many times. So we decide to have a trip of our own. We will went across the border to the casino and a club call dragonfly. It was a very beautiful club. The deco is better then MOS and ZOUK in Singapore. But it is a little too small. The crowd there was so well dress. So many pretty babes around!! You should go there to see if for urself. It was like a fashion parade. Many hunks in there too!! Macho man. I was almost refuse entry cause of my shoe ^^ but then luckily i was let in by the manager. Before that we went to eat at Tony Roma's we wanted to try the rib to see whether it is different. It was fantastic standard almost the same and the price is almost the same ^^ It was a happening night although it is jus the 2 of us !!

Everything is so cheap over there. 1 dozen of buffalo wings for only $3.99 same goes to the clams and crab. So happening that i sleep everyday at 4am and go out at 2pm. We had thanksgiving dinner at Shara's place. So many good food plus a huge turkey. She had a very very cute cat and after dinner we played pictionary. Loser drinks ^^ and we lost so we drank. The following day is black Friday, it was a once in a year event. It is a day when shops open very early or from 12am to 6am at night. During that time they sell their stuff at a very cheap price. Many shops will have discounted goods. It is the best time to get the best deal and best bargain. We caught the movie hit man,i have been playing this game for so many years and finally it was made into a movie. It was fantastic. The lead female so sexy >.< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_3lbZFxmrO_A/R1Oe_Tz4_dI/AAAAAAAAAX4/sGiLd-d-Dkc/s1600-R/IMG_0350.JPG">

Shooting at Niagara gun range!!

2007-11-19T01:25:00.000-05:00

This even was organize by the college republicans. It was called the second amendment rights excursion. Destination is at a new Niagara gun range. Faddy, jon was going and i decided to tag along since this is probably a lifetime experience. We shot the AK47, Carbine - mini version of the m16, beretta pistol, glock 19 handgun and some other weapons. Its my first time touching an ak47. It was so accurate. But i still like the carbine feel so shiok and so much better then m16. I dun have to aim the ak47 and carbine much at 73 yards and i got 5 head shots from the ak. Both my friends did well on all the weapons. Their whole target board is covered with bullet holes. It was not as strict as the shooting range we did in army. This was like ur own range and u jus go in and shoot. You wont can even forget about the weapon on safe too >.<. When we were at the counter , 2 american kids came in with a sniper rifle and an ak47 the mag was in the weapon and they were like pointing the weapon everywhere. It was so dangerous. If it was in singapore army u would go chiam dunno how many liao lol!! The hand gun was shiok too esp the glock19 it was so power lah the recoil. I miss like 1 target at the 30 yards so i pull back the target to 15 yards and then i manage to get every single shot on the target. It was great fun and experience but then the only part i hate is we have to load the rounds ourself >.<

Best Vending Machine Ever!

2007-11-08T01:41:00.000-05:00

Jus finish my calculus studies at the dining hall.. During my studies i bought a drink from the vending machine. When the drink that i bought fell down, it hit another drink so 2 two drinks came down. Buy 1 get 1 free lol. Thats not the end of story.. An hour later i saw a group of Americans they went to that machine and start buying drinks and before they input the serial for the drink they give it a gd kick and true enough 2 drinks came down again. But it gets annoying after sometime cause those americans keep kicking and kicking >.<

But what they didnt know is that there is CCTV jus above their head lol >.<

First week in buffalo!!

2007-11-07T17:16:00.000-05:00

Basically didn't do much. First day when i arrive I was pick up by Elfa and Stef. They were so so helpful. After that we went home to pick up Johan and Chi Hoon and then went to TGI Fridays for lunch. I was very happy that i wasn't alone when i first reach buffalo. The food at TGI was good, especially the fried green bean (Photos will all be posted on the food section in the next post). Then went back to their home to have a quick shower. ^^ Elfa Helped me to look for a place to stay for that night and guess what...... She was able to get me Marriott Hotel for a price of 40 plus USD for one night. Original price was 160 USD. I was so happy .. She got it on price line btw. After that day i was house by a handsome and helpful guy call Steve. I stayed in his place for the rest of the week. First night when i arrive at Steve place, we notice some foul smell coming from the living room. So we decide to search where the smell came from. And we FOUND IT!! It came from his room mate bed and GUESS what we found..... A DEAD RAT!!! Steve and i was shocked and then he went to clean up the room. The rest rest of the week was nothing much.. Jus that everyday they cook for me chinese food. I was so pai seh. We did tennis and i sux at it. Elfa and Steff brought me to school to get my labtop, admin card, Bank account and my phone done. Also they bring me around buffalo and i jus love the supermarket here they open 24 hours and we did some midnight shopping at Tops and Wegmans. We also went to a fair about half an hour drive away. I forgot the name of the place haha. They brought me to Walden to a big shopping center here went to Transit to catch a movie and we played poker every night. Thats all that i recall the rest i forgot. >.<

My Amazing Race To Buffalo!!

2007-11-06T16:56:00.001-05:00

After going into the gate, made some phone calls to some of my best friends in Singapore and i boarded the northwest flight bound for Narita Airport in Tokyo. Flight took off at 6am and reach Narita Airport at 2pm the next day. The flight took longer then expected. Total flight time was 8 hours. Was planning to buy Mac D at the airport but guess what when it is my turn to order the food, i found out that i dun have any yen on me and that the exchange rate totally sux and i only have USD with me so i gave up and went to the gate for my connecting flight. Then i found out that it was 245pm as Japan had a GMT +9 instead of Singapore GMT +8 and i notice the time different on my watch.. And so i ran as fast as possible to the gate and board the aircraft. That was a close call to observe GMT at all time when u travel >.< Took the next flight from Portland to Minneapolis flight time 4 hours. When i arrive i notice that the next plane i was suppose to catch had already took off. The airline made new arrangement for me and gave me a 50 USD food voucher. They house me in an airport hotel. Arrive at Days Inn and i order 50 USD worth of food and try to finish as much as i can haha. Below are photos of Minneapolis airport, Days inn and the food i ate be4 i go to bed lol. Next day woke up at 530am took a quick shower and went to the airport to catch the flight from Minneapolis to Detroit. Flight time was 1 hour. After i arrive i found out that the flight from Minneapolis to Detroit was delayed again... omg!! If this delays i am not going on the next flight again. When i reach Detroit, i heard the announcement " Last call for all passengers leaving to buffalo from Detroit and it was my flight!! I checked the gate number and to my worst horror i was at gate 9 and the buffalo flight is at gate 86!!!! and i only got 5 mins to reach there.. so i ran and ran and ran and while running i took a couple of pic below and i saw a monorail within the airport " inside!!" i was amazed that was so cooool. By the time i reach the gate it was already close i was like wtf Gonna miss it again!! they they ask me if i am suppose to be on the flight. I shouted yes! and they say they coms the plane to open and let me in. So i was the last passenger on board that flight . So fortunate... After traveling another hour . I finally reach Buffalo my destination!! at 12pm Sunday afternoon. And i was just in time to be picked up by my friends from UB Stef and Elfa. So fortunate if not i will be so pai seh to face em if i am late !!

Changi Airport on AUG 10th 2007

2007-11-06T16:46:00.001-05:00

Arrive on AUG 10th 2007, 330am at changi airport. Went straight to the Northwest check in counter to check in my bags. They told me my bags was over sized so my mum had to repack everything on the spot. Luckily she was there if not i would have taken a longer time to repack it or worst come to worst i might have to throw some stuff away .. After check in i waited for the gate to open and i heard a familiar voice shouted at me. I turn back and was shocked... My whole family was here. Everyone was here. Even my grandma was here. When i saw em i cried on the spot cause at the beginning i asked them not to come as it would be hard for me to leave them without crying. But they did!! Was so happy thou. So many tears at the waiting area. So sad as i know that after going into the gate i would not be seeing my close family members for a long long long time ... Thanks you to all my cousins, aunt, uncle, sis, bro, grandma, dad and mum for being there for me.
