Sneaks!

Sneak preview of what I’m working on at the moment (click for full-size).

Really love the stamp! I feel like buying Scott Kelby’s book. Some really great tips and tricks for Photoshop CS4. :)

MySavings Account.

March 9th, 2010, 8:35pm

Just opened one with the minimum SGD50 monthly contribution. This is an automated savings scheme. Otherwise I will never save! Hehe. Most opinions online don’t think much of this account because the interest rates aren’t really much to hype about, but the point is that it is an automated savings scheme that deducts from your main account on a specified date every month. Forces you to save, which is exactly what I need.

Also got my new DBS Debit Card today, the one with the 0.3% Cashback. Going to drop my CapitaCard one once the pending transactions are through. Since the annual fee waiver is ending and I don’t get any benefits from the Capita$ anyway. 0.3% Cashback isn’t much, but it is better than nothing…

So sometime last year (October, I believe) I spent some time upgrading the Momoki, adding bar ends, a new seat, etc.

Well, Momoki is retiring. Say hello to the MTB that bro YY lent me (on a long-term basis!).

I moved the slicks over, along with the bar ends. New cyclocomputer, new lights.
Index shifters pwn cheapo friction shifters on the Momoki. Am loving the ride. :)

Awaiting an opportunity to take it on a longer ride…

FYP’s starting.

February 4th, 2010, 6:35pm

Heh. Time passes way too quick. I did not get my desired choice for FYP. I really wanted to do an Augmented Reality Card Game. Anyway, I got my third choice, Life at a 3D Virtual Zoo.

I need a new hard disk for my laptop soon. Storage space is never enough.

Updates over the last weeks/months:

WoW: Got my paladin geared up. But apparently never good enough for current content. “LF1M Tank/DPS min 5k gs pst stats/achiv else no inv!!!” And I just started a new hunter. Quite fun. :)

Cycling: Rode all the way to East Coast Park. On the way back, however, caved and cabbed home from Suntec City. Oops…

NS: Just finished a high-key ICT, from the 4th till the 22nd of January. Burnt burnt burnt…

Alright, back to work! Loads of stuff to do…

Dissatisfaction.

November 12th, 2009, 9:17am

What happened to the days of being able to solve these damn assignments independently? Not that I don’t enjoy working in a group, but these assignments are making me think far less of myself. It makes me question my goals/dreams. So I guess I’m not much of a coder. So what am I supposed to be good at?

Absolutely must get the CSCI366 assignment done today and start on the CSCI356 one, otherwise I’m going to be screwed. Not enough time! Why aren’t there more understandable and usable examples online?! SDL SDL SDL SDL SDL…

In other news, RT started for me a while back. Training has been great so far, but the keeping up with training hasn’t. I need more time to train? I need to make more time for training. Otherwise I’m never going to pass my IPPT. Don’t want to go for RT again next year. *sigh* Plus there’s the cash incentive for passing.

Eating miles on a market bike.

Well, not really. I haven’t really ridden any long distances since last December. Which destroyed the old cassette. It got a new one in January, along with slick tires. But very little attention since then for quite a few months… And now it’s getting dirty and rusty, but still my faithful old market bike. Momoki power!

Muscle aches.

October 1st, 2009, 10:26pm

I’m seriously aching all over. Right shoulder, right arm, both thighs and calves. Can’t be the cycling, I only covered a very short distance while trying to work out the squeaky sounds from the drivetrain. They’re probably just a result of adding squats to my daily reps. I can barely do a single squat or push-up now. Need more salonpas…

On the road to get back in shape!

Subtitles.

September 30th, 2009, 5:37pm

I need subtitles. New module’s lecturer is very hard to understand. *sigh*

“Receipt for your payment to Blizzard Entertainment”

September 29th, 2009, 6:20pm

Another month gone by, another payment, but I’ve barely played the game. At the most 3, maybe 4 quests? And zero instance runs since… July? No point shifting servers yet either. I don’t really want to leave Cairne, but with the kind of time I’m spending on the game, shifting to another server wouldn’t make much of a difference.

Perhaps this is a sign for me to quit… again. Time management and balance… Easier said than done.

I still have a lot of things I’m supposed to be doing. And a lot of things I want to do.

Too… much… pink. Need break.

Zzz…
