Friendster profile

Image
[Taken on 2007-12-07 20:00 (UTC+8)] Many people have been asking if this is my profile or had overheard people asking those around them whose profile this belongs to. Yes, this is my profile. How the profile turned out to be like this? Well it's a long story, so long that it dates back to around when I turned my (then) spare account . Also, I don't like putting a picture of myself or put my real name. ( 5th friendster profile , MySpace acc no.2 and Facebook are exceptions. Though nether of the people in the display image at myspace is me.) At one time (some years ago), the aim was to have a profile of an anime charater ( School Rumble ). At the time I did that, I already added my (seconday) school friends to both that account and the (then) main account . On that account, I did put in "would accept anyone from around the world". The number of friends quickly rose to half the limit (in those days, it was 1000) when I turn my (then) main account into the same thing.

Changed layout

Image
I had changed the layout as the prevous one had problems displaying images from my previous post. For example this image from the prevous post : Under the previous layout, you wouldn't be able to see the clock or the woman on the right of the image. You could only see the rest and the shadow of that person. The same goes for images of the same size. Since the layout has changed, I try to make the page elements at the same position as before (only on the left instead of right). Also, I have reduced the number of post appearing on the main page from 10 to 5 since the average post is quite long, even without images. This would also help people with slower bandwidth to load the page faster. To view the earlier posts, you can just go to the archive tree at the bottom of the sides. (Since my posts are long most of the time, it might be located midway throughout the blog.) I have also enable annonous people to post comments on my posts.

Japanese Language Proficiency Test

Image
I took the JLPT level 3 at the Japanese School (日本人学校(小学部)チャンギ校) today. (Level 4 is the easiest, 1 being the hardest but enough for living in japan) I'm aware that there is also the Standard Charted Marathon run with the SC that morning. Well, I registered for it back in August (about 1-2 weeks before regestration ends) at a obscure place called Midland House at Middle Road (hmmm). I hardly studied. Some of the reasons for that is that there is the lack of study (though i have studied a bit), too much school related activities (mic money sense, sc oath taking / grad night), watch/read too much anime and manga (though they are in japanese with no subtitles). I went there from my house (simei blk 164), walked to Jln Pelatok (there were dogs barking madly at me around there one night) and take from the bustop along Upp Changi Road East and alighted at the school at Upp Changi Road North (quite near). Removed shoes before entering the exam room. During the 2nd part of Listening (聴解) se

I'm too lazy to describe the event. Go to ipop's website to find out more. Here are some pictures: This thing happened to be there As you can see, there are celebrities in there from a lousy camera and angle. That same camera is used for this post and the next post .

How I get home

As I mentioned earlier, my school is at Bishan St 13 and my house is at Simei Road. People keep asking me why I didn't end up at the College East campus. Simple: I passed only 1 subject and therefore the chances of getting there is slim, in addition to the facilities there. (FYI, I did choose the one at College West if I didn't get at College Central) Anyways, as most of my schoolmates would know, I would take the train at Bishan in the direction towards the city. Sometimes in the opposite direction, or take the bus from Bishan interchange or outside the MRT instead. In case you are curious, here are the routes i take for each of the above 3: Train towards the city: alight at City Hall (Raffles Place if the train is already there and is/has depart) and transfer to the East-West line towards Pasir Ris and alight at Simei and walk from there. Total time: ~50min (~54 if from raffles place) alight at City Hall and transfer to the East-West line towards Pasir Ris and alight at Ta

the Moneysense event

Image
There was a moneysense event project with the actual day on 1 nov at ite college east (simei). It started when lawson called me for something during the holidays for 3 days on weekdays (sc oath taking practice was on the other 2 days). I initally didn't want to do it because i did the classofclowns just a few months earlier which was crazy. But due to "lack of manpower" (the other 3 didn't do much/anyhting) and lawson working for some media company (he offered me to work with him but i indirectly rejected the offer for reasons mentioned 2 posts before this ), I had to do the work in the end, though mdm salinah (along with people whose name i cant remember) did the music and final edit. There was conflict with my class lessons, the moneysense rehersal, jan intake graduation nite preperation meeting, another oathtaking rehersal, and japanese class. All on the same day and is supposed to be between 3pm and 6pm. Then the rehersal 2 days before the actual day. (More detai

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (Final/7th book): Nov 2007

I was one of those people who pre-ordered the book before the release (and before the GST was increased from 5% to 7%) and received it around the day of release in July 2007. (I also watched "Order of the Phonex" movie in the same month.) Well, it's now November, 4 months after the release, and I still have yet to even start reading, although I had a peak of the last chapter. Something about an even taken place several years with 2 major/secondary characters in the entire series married with children (I could name them, but that would spoil those who haven't read it yet. Though, unlikely for Harry Potter fans). Other than that, I don't really know what exactly happens. Should start reading it when I'm bored. I forgot where I have placed the 1st to 4th book but I still have the DVD movie of those. Also, since I have read the 6th book only once, I forgot what happens but I know that a Hogwards teacher working for Voldermolt (and a student from that persorn's
