Major milestone for 2.4km run!

Yesterday was a breakthrough! For the first time in 3 years, I've managed to pass my 2.4 run at a groundbreaking (For me at least) 12 min 58 seconds! I'm so touched and overwhelmed when I completed the run. Thanks to all who "help" me on my way...I love you all!

This Sunday will be the Japanese "O" Levels...no...more like PSLE...no, maybe Kindergarten leaving examination...but whatever. I have to do my best!

I'm overloaded with a lots of thoughts lately. Here's a small list to remind myself of the things I wanted to do...

1) Find a file logging program so I can keep track of my CDs
2) Start hunting for S.H.E again!
3) Continue training for NAPFA!
4) Revised my mathematics (Yes I mean it!)
5) Clean up my H/D!

Bu Xiang Zhang Da!

Yes! S.H.E long overdued 8th Album is finally here. This is the longest period of "rest" they've taken in between albums (1 Year!). They used to release album on average like every 8 months.

Anyway, my "initial impression" of the album songs after listening to the songs like once...is that, this is a very "spread-out" albums. Most of their albums in the past are like: 4 ****1/2 Stars Songs, and the rest are like *** stars.

There's no "groundbreaking" songs in this album, but all the songs I've heard so far are above average ones. So it's definitely worth it! Track 9 (Their first ever own creation) is the most interesting one so far...

P.S: The best songs are the one that can last...

Rest in peace Eddie...

What a loss for the WWE and wrestling fans. Eddie Guererro has passed away...it's sad indeed. I don't think there will ever, ever be an entertainer like Eddie again. You are the man!

For my work updates, it's Flash, Flash and more Flash. First we got Flower Kitty, then we got Magician Gift, and now, coming soon, Scary Girl. Internship = ADVA course, but I'm getting more and more used to Flash and it's syntax/coding style.

Basically, I've got my "weekly schedule". I'll go running on friday, saturday/sunday, and tuesday/wednesday/thursday. Monday I'll got for Japanese class. Goody goody~

Update next time see ya.

1st week of Internship....

Well well. First week of internship, 5 full days of Flash really killed my brain cells. However, I must say that I've learnt a lot more about flash. Hard to imagine that 5 days ago I can barely do any actionscripting, and little more than the most basic user interactions.

Over the week, I've learnt how to organize movie clips, naming, loading external text files and much more. I am able to do all these in Java, but now I can do them in Flash as well.

There's this guy name Hong Hui in the bunch of interns, and he's a very interesting person I must say. I forgot to mention that he asked our supervisor about the presence of "Fire Escape Routes" during the 1st day of our tour.

Yesterday, Zhimin and I was heading for lunch and we met this blind lady. Him offering to guide her to the station gave me a better impression of him. Today, I discovered that Jolene actually listens to Chinese Pop music as well (I always thought she's a "ang-moh" person). Good to know that she like S.H.E as well.

Finally, I've completed the first task given to me...(Watering Flower Kitty -_-)...now...I can finally rest...in...

...

nah! Time to play game!

Holidays are over, 1st day Internship!

Yes, the short holidays are over. I've generally accomplished most of my stated goals. I've revised Japanese, completed my Flash portfolio and trained up more.

1st day of internship was an extremely stressful one. We reach there exceptionally early and our supervisor briefed us, then we took a tour around. Pretty cool place. The employees there are like hungry ghosts trying to poach us to work. We were very quickly assigned tasks and went off to our own business.

I really had a hard time adjusting. Flash is REALLY not my speciality. I hope I can do better...I must not like this 4 months go to waste like this. I vow to master Flash.
