New Toy And The Independence Cup

Well, while people were preparing for the 50th Independence Day the week before, i found myself in another battlefield, fighting for the country. Well not really.. Thanks Desmond for the photos. (I look sooo cool in the picture, that is until i got hit..)



Winning the first couple games of prelims till our team captain had to leave, we managed to win another before it all went downhill losing consecutive games. We had it so bad by now i forgot how many games we lost consecutively .. i think 3 or 4.. it's all a bad memory..try.. to .. forget.. From day 2 we managed into quarters after winning 2 out of 3 from round 2, but didn't make it to semi's losing the final crucial game. Not much to remember although lessons were well learnt. Consolations include finding ourselves in MPOC standings 5th place in the leg and maintaining 5th in season standings with 1 more leg to go.


This tournament also a first for my new toy: A Black/Silver Proto Matrix Rail SE

So far so good, been really impressed by everything so far and almost in all aspects way surpassing my previous marker. Definitely a great buy. Get one now!! (Ask me =P) A more in depth review to come after i put the marker through more abuse (yes, of the whipping and canning sort)

Ahh.. exhaustion and stress and a couple of annoying people.. must focus on happy things and good times and funny moments.. like .. Kah Heng's face.. and..
Well if you can't wait for the next post at least theres a picture above for you to stare at. I will be recovering at the nearby hospital after Kah Heng discovers this. So wish me a speedy recovery when this happens. See how much i go through to just to keep a handful of people who read my blog happy..

Guess who's back...

After a month of using my trusty pentium MMX 200Mhz (yes, pentium- without any number behind it.) I'm finally back on my pc again although the only thing that looks different on the outside is a new DVD-R Rom, looks can be deceiving.

Brand spanking new internals to replace my fried motherboard and pentium4 2.8HT processor, my hard drives are what's left along with my wireless card. A new Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and a new PCI graphics card (forgive me , my computer knowledge has also gone obsolete along with my previous computers) now sits in my CPU and my did i enjoy the silence for once. For those who don't know, my CPU previously cranks out a sound that much reassembles an F1 engine rather than a computer. Fact is that with the PC running downstairs then, i could hear it even in my room through the doors. Ah the joy of silence, and not to mention the reduction in heat, i had often feel like the CPU was going to melt down even when i had the casing opened both ways. How nice..

Special thanks to Exkay (prawn genocide man in the earlier post) for the hours, kilometers, kilojoules, and more spent setting up this system. You are the Smeagol(Gollum) that brought the Ring back to Sauron and once again the dark lord of unending annoyance and utter nonsense will rule all of middle earth once again.

Although i enjoyed playing paperboy and cannon fodder (ahh the memories.. and i wished i could have been able to get my hands on monkey island), and there was peace in the land with people singing joyful songs, birds were chirping in the air and such in my absence, good things must come to an end. For the blogger is back to the gnashing of teeth, sharpening of swords and swinging fists... Ahh... it is good to be back.

*Cue LOTR Soundtrack* The day will come when everything will make sense. The day when utter nonsense and annoyance will cease to exist.. but it is not this day !!The time will come when people sigh with relief, sing with joy and clap their hands.. but it is not this day !! For today the blogger returns !!

PS: Those who nudged me on MSN Messenger causing my pentium1 to crash will pay!!
