Boo, now it's bout 6 plus, haha, i'm using ken's laptop from the chalet at Costa Sands to blog now, eveyone's off to sleep le...we've been playing all possible card games throughout the entire night, so fast and a day is almost gone at the 6-person chalet, hah, enjoyed myself so far though i'm feeling extremely paranoid 'cos i just sat on the floor or on the bed or came into the room, then, till now, i have like mosquito-bite like lumps and red patches all over my body and it itches terribly, like rashes, ain't sure if its allergy or insect bites, but it's only happening on me and not my other friends, ouch....
Anyway, i'm about 82% sure that i will quit my Luge job soon, i guess i can't commit as much as they wanted. But, i went for a job interview jus this afternoon at Out Of The Pan, the placed where WenQi is working, and i think i might most possibly start working soon. Not forgeting Pat's 3-day job at the Expo, i will be having 3 jobs at a go for a short period?! Haha...
Lastly, i'd like to say that i will quit the Luge, not only because i can't commit, but some of the staffs' attitude really sucks. I mean they leave me to do certain stuff by myself and when i do it wrongly then they will give the why can't you get it right kind of look. Pisses me off la...Oh, well, got to sleep now, more tonning later, haha... Cheers! Hope i get well and hope the rashes will clear by morning...=(

Countdown to my birthday: 12 more days!!! Can't wait, for the chalet, outings and such!!!

Recommended by QY, haha, damn interesting...you'll be astounded!
Subject: Honda Ad
This is one clever Honda commercial..
Be sure to read the info first, and then watch the clip. And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it.
The film took 606 takes.On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions.
The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime.
However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!).
When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film.
Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars.
The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.
As recommended by jingmin's blog, here is another you tube clip, haha...the song is nice and catchy man! Even the lyrics is nice, enjoy! =)

Gosh, finally worked back at the Luge, and i realised, how so much has changed. I guess i don't have a lot of commitment to the LUge as Zhong said. Right now, i don't really know if i should stay or not, i mean he says commitment as in 5 days a week? That i can't commit, seriously, i'm not the work-my-butt-off kind of person, rather, i'm those work-a-short-while-or-a-few-times-a-week-then-spend-it-and-enjoy-life kind of person, right now, i don't wanna throw myself straight into the working life, i just wanna enjoy life before we lose time to go out with friends, is that too much to ask? I guess it is for Luge's case, i really dunno, part of me wanna rebel and just quit right there and then, the other half is like,:"NO! Are you stupid?! It's an ideal place to work (at the moment)!" But, i'm in such a dilemma, i mean, putting down my schedule to work by filling in those days which i am not going out with friends would mean tying myself down (literally) to them, i'll just work myself to death...
And today, some downright rude european kid is being a pain in the ass, if i weren't in the service line, i swore i could have swore at him, a bunch of them claimed to have rode the Luge before, fair enough, i gotta test their brakes before issueing them the stamp, all was ok till his bloody turn. He was pulling it all the way to the back then he drop the handlebars, then he repeated it a few more times. At first i was telling him,: "Eh, you've got to pull it all the way to the back..." He just continued to do the same thing, i thought he just don't understand english, so i was about to aid him when he just went past me and yelled back, :"Do you think that i am stupid?" Gosh, wad an asshole, there i was thinking that he needed help, and there he was mocking me, fine so be it, go and crash and get a laceration or something, then dun come complaining that the staff didn't teach properly. What losers, i hate those ang moh kids, especially if they come in groups, all just waiting to race. To hell with them...
Anyway, these few days been down with IMF, another reason for being told off by Zhong, really slacking, they hired too many people, a shift of 8 hours has been broken down to 2 shifts of 5 hours, sheesh...I don't blame our captain, Deric, for quitting after this event, the management is just not really there...Oh well, the security is also, oh well, they implemented it but they don't make it consistent, i mean once we enter, as long as we have the pass on, they won't even give a second glance to see if it's your face that is on the pass and not another's. Any terrorist can just steal it and enter, lol, i know, i'm just being lame, but still.. Haha, but i wouldn't want it to be so strict either, imagine all the hassle...hope IMF passes soon, and all will be back to as it was...sigh, life's so tough, right now, i'm not even thinking bout my birthday, just contemplating the urge to leave the Luge....comments anyone?

Yay, its here and its official; the end of semester! Woots! Just finished my last paper the other day then went out after that to the class outing which i organised, i guess it can be called a success, bout 13 people turned up, not bad given that i came up with the plan only a week before. But sadly (or not), im not gonna hold another one anytime soon, risk getting said by others, like why never call him/her, why are we at this station when the other is so much closer to where we are going, why never tell me that we are eating here? I grant you guys that it is partly my fault that i forgot to inform some of them, but u know it ain't easy doing this kind of stuff. So just be glad that its done and zip up and enjoy. In the end, we split after lunch, leaving ron, char and me. The rest? Well, they were led by the nose to K as in k-boxing. Those without a will to decide left with them, meaning kok and ow, i dare say this cause it's so true.
Then, the 3 of us went to walk around before playing pool, and before that, went to meet qy and nic, if u call: seeing them at the traffic junction for less than 5 min before walking away, meet, then yes we met. Haha, that henceforth commenced my holidays, sadly, the weekends and today that followed were spent at home rotting, what to do? No money...what a sorry excuse indeed...
So here i am waiting for this wed and thur to come, wed cuz im going out with krisa to study (her only, i dun need no notes anymore for the time being anyway), then im down for the IMF on thur, hope its gonna be fun... =P
