Revival Attempt 3.

Well at least the blog has become a little more active. Encourage your friends to visit!

ACE. MRP. SMRP.

June holidays. They call this "holiday"? While the deadline for our MRP's (Major Research Paper) second submission is set at just after June holidays, it is obvious that they want us to finish it over the holidays. While most people will be able to complete all their work during the 30 day holiday rather relaxingly, people like me might be struggling to cope (I haven't started struggling yet, so I don't know). While I plan to start on my MRP's second submission soon, plans have already been made for me to train super-intensively (which I will voluntarily). But weighted down by MRP, SMRP and ACE, how can I train properly?

I have barely started on ACE for my 9 subjects. Or is it 10? English, Higher Chinese, Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Integrated Humanities Core, Integrated Humanities Elective, Computer Studies (have ACE?). So it's 9. I have almost 0 for everything! While I am still working on my Chinese and Physics ACE, I'm also starting on English and possibly Mathematics.

SMRP. Science Mathematics Research Program. Oddly, the name doesn't include "Computing". It should be "Science Mathematics Computing Research Program", or something like that. While my group's idea is still be processed, even after a really long time, we are patient about it (or rather we have really no time to do something about it at the moment).

I plan to complete my MRP first, followed by my ACE stuff. Because of the funny new rule about me having to complete the second submission before building my new PC. This is the SAWPIAWCAWYT (Sudden Addition Without Prior Information And Who Cares About What You Think) way of management. It's also known as "(WANE)^2". Extremely Efficient (E^2), Absolute Authority (A^2), No Negotiation (N^2), Works Wonders (W^2).

If any of you reading this feels like sponsoring some cash to my PC building funds, please email me at y03chs222@chs.edu.sg. Be sure to subject your email as "PC Builing Funds Sponsorship"!

Revival Attempt 2.

Ok here's the sequel to the famous post "Revival Attempt 1"!!

Damn MS (Monthly Shoot). Screwed up so damn badly with my new jacket. Shot one 7, and over ten 8s. WTH!!! Never shot a 7 since I got my first korean jacket. Never shot so many 8s since I got my new rifle. And now history repeats itself with a jacket soft as hell, just like wearing 20 layers of tissue paper.

Just because I couldn't get used to it, my entire body rocked back and forth, my hand shaked because I used strength, my back was in an awkward position and my rifle was shaking like nobody's business. Tried my best to steady it, to obviously no avail.

After MS, I had to do something to forget about all these shit. I played a bit of CS with Boxian and a couple of RI people. Obviously I pwned their asses, with my first death after 22 frags. 3 on 2, where Boxian and I were the "2" side. I only started on my "death streak" when my keyboard died and probably the "W" and "A" keys were jammed. So I couldn't move properly, stop, buy, reload, or anything except move towards the foward-left corner and shoot. I got Boxian to buy me weapons with his limited cash and I just picked them up and went off. Somehow I still managed to clear team!! Woohoo! But sometimes when Boxian ran out of cash I had to "chiong pistol" and obviously I get up to a maximum 1 frag. And the cheapskate Peng Hui had to camp there with an awp just to frag an innocent-pistol-reliant-keyboard-jammed-CS-pro. And sometimes he got it (the frag), sometimes he got it (the death).

Overall, I pwned their asses together with Boxian as expected. Ended with something like 65 frags and 21 deaths even though we played for quite a few round with me having an uncontrollable-jammed-keyboard.

At night, I went to watch "Madagascar". My sister chose that movie and it was pretty lame. But think of it as comical relieve. I trained so much I cannot even recognise my leg anymore (irrelevant). My leg was warped by some serious-spam-you-arse-off-sandflies in the oh-my-god-so-heavenly-outward-bound-course. Now it's itching like hell, bleeding like hell, and screwing my legs up like hell. My arms also. My fingers also. And a little on my back. Thanks to the extremely thoughful campsite on the last night where we got to camp out with our oh-my-god-so-protective-bashar (whatever the spelling) at the oh-my-god-so-sandfly-non-infested-sandy-and-rocky-campsite-3-where-sleeping-on-the-soft-rocky-ground-was-so-comfortable. Yes people the "residential" course isn't so relaxing.

Revival Attempt 1.

Ok I shall attempt to revive the dead.

Lets see... Last day of first semester... Training... Homework... Blisters... More training... New shooting suit... Leaving form teacher...

My class organised a farewell party for my form teacher today. We ordered 3(x2) Canadian pizzas + a fairly large cake + t-shirt + large card and a nice framed photo from that party itself. With super efficient people, somehow they managed to get the picture printed!! We played music with several iPods, ate, played, stoned, and 1 person cried. Sure, all of us were pretty sad Mr. Nan was leaving us. DAMN SAD! Now we are all speculating about our new form teacher. Most probably Mrs. Goh (Biology) will become our form teacher. I hope my class can get a nice teacher just like Mr. Nan, that way, we won't die if we did lame stuff - maybe like squirting 95% ethanol solution through a Bunsen flame while aiming at a innocent unaware guy in front (although accidentally).

New suit! Good or bad? To keep up with the ever changing ISSF (International Shooting Sport Federation) rules, my new suit is super soft! Not used to it at all and I figure that I'm gonna need one WHOLE day to adapt to it. Couldn't do it today.. Maybe I was just tired. Maybe because I had to change too much at once and I just couldn't cope? Whatever, just wanna adapt to it in the end and somehow shoot over 580 this monthly shoot.

Oh crap I just lost like 15 minutes of precious sleeping time!! Should I add that I got back from training not long ago?

I am the roxxor!

Somehow I managed to remotely edit my laptop's registry to enable automatic login. Now I can use my freaking keyboard-disabled-laptop!! I am the roxxor!!

Laptop.

My laptop roxxor. The input devices got f***** up. My diagnosis is the overheating of the northbridge. Nothing I can do except send it for repair. It prolly needs some serious motherboard fixing. DAMN!!
