I still find it hard to believe that my 23 months of fun-filled, exciting and challenging, career is coming to an end soon. It's been a long journey, and now I'm at its final days. The last 30 or so days.
So, from today onwards, I'll try to do a series of "concluding" posts to sum up my 23 months of exhilarating and fulfilling life.
And what better way to start then with some heavenly music?
...
Throughout these 23 months, I've "written" over 30 songs dedicated to depict my illustrious career. Some of them are "complete remakes" of the entire songs, others consist of only the chorus, and some only a few verses.
Most of these songs were born when I was "staring into blank space for hours", and these songs have followed me through hours and hours of my life during such times. Some of them are really my heart-felt words, others are just plain humorous jokes.
The ideas for these songs came from everywhere; people in my life, the environment, the time of the days, special occasions, etc... A few are initially thought of by others, and I just borrowed and modified their ideas. Some help to contribute and add on to certain lines in the song to make it even more touching.
Listed below are my personal top 10 and a short description, listed in chronological order. Note that due to legal and copyright issues, I am unable to write down the lyrics of the songs, but I'll write down the title. In brackets are the the original title of the songs.
1. 那 ## 对我说 (那女孩对我说)
Created in the first 3 months of my career. Originally thought of by the talented composers of T3, and I later borrowed the concept and created my first song. This song describes the importance of safety briefing...
2. 一年半以后 (一千年以后)
Created in the 6 - 7 months of my career. It's one of the shortest, yet also one of the most emotional and melancholic . At that time, it totally reflected my feelings of "What will happen in 1 & 1/2 year time?" To this day, I still find it heart-warming to recite this tune...
3. ### GOODBYE (KISS GOODBYE)
Created about 9 months after entering the Kindergarten, this song commemorates the leaving of our "Great One" and our dire circumstances at that time. Considered to be my first complete song.
4. 借口 (借口)
Created around the same time as the previous song, this is a song of great agony and pain. It was written during one of the toughest times of the Kindergarten.
5. 一年 (十年)
Written to commemorate 12 months of my career and remain 1 of my favourite to date. This chorus sums up 12 months of my life, and I also took the chance to congratulate those that have graduated by then.
6. 他一定 ###### #(他一定很爱你)
If there was a song that can describe the situation at the Kindergarten during the Nov/Dec 07 period any better, this is the one. A song that is so true to life and close to my heart...
7. 我昏 (黄昏)
Written about 15 months into my career and never released, this song recount the sorrowful times when "staring into blank space". It is also directed at one of our most "popular individual" at that time...
8. 童话 (童话)
A beautiful and melancholic tune, partly dedicated to one of the greatest "heroes" of the Kindergarten. It was written during Dec 07, but was remade recently to add in my own story.
9. 天意 (天意)
Written at my 19th month to commemorate the leaving of my friends, and my pain of being left behind...
10. 我快 ### (我只在乎你)
Possibly my final song in my career. It was conceptualize very very early in the first 3 months, but It wasn't until now that I can recite it with such powerful emotions...
Other Memorable Ones...
1. 从天堂到地狱 (从台北到北京)
2. 哎哎哎 (爱爱爱)
3. 小 # (小薇)
4. ####方式 (关怀方式)
5. 你怎么知道我难过 (你怎么舍得我难过)
6. 第一次 (第一次 )

Many Many Things
I've did many many things, but I still got many many things to do!
1) University Stuffs
Fill up the forms, submit the online photos, get the account number, do the declaration, apply for the tuition grant, take note of the important dates like the Engilsh test and the Welcome Ceremony (which isn't what I expected in the first place).
First, the network account names really sucks; they are just a bunch of numbers and letters jumbled together. And by the way, I don't understand why Ben don't like the "Wooo Zun" name... I think it sounds damn cool.
2) The Quiz
Last week, I wasted nearly 2 hours of my time to do a horrendous quiz. Most of it were ok, but I spent more than 30 mins on 1 of them. Why can't they just give me the correct answer when I got it wrong? Or, at least tell me which question I got wrong. NO. That would be too easy. They had to make you do the ENTIRE QUIZ all over if you get 1 question wrong. WHAT THE ****?
3) The Camera
Yeah I finally got it. I don't know if I made the right decision (going for a less "reputable" brand), but it was based on the dealer's recommendation, and I trusted HWZ reviews a lot personally. It's a newer model, and looks better when I compared them side by side. It also have slightly better specifications and is the same price. So I guess I took a risk there by going for something "extra-ordinary".
Anyway, I used it for a few times and find it super beginner friendly. Everything is easy to access, no complicated hidden functions and not that much settings to tweak.. It can be a good or bad thing depends on what you want - more control or more simplicity. For a first-timer like me, I guess that's a good thing. I managed to master almost everything in like 30 mins. Almost everything is automated for you... haha. I think even my mother can use it with no problem.
4) The Agent
These 2 weeks I had to deal with an agent that's push selling me a product. Don't really want to say more, but I learnt a lot from this experience. It made me realized what I've been overlooking all the while and now I'm determine to do something about it.
AND THE 2 KILLER TASKS BELOW...
5) Plan The Damn Schedule
EVERYTHING turned out differently from what I originally expected. HA! What to do? LLST. Now I have re-plan everything. And some more still got people want to switch here switch there, change here change there. Think I very free AH.
#%!@$*%^*&%@#$@#$...
6) Spring Cleaning
This is what I've been doing for the past 3 hours, but I'm not even 1/4 done. Guess I have to spread it out over a few days. I think it's high time I get myself together and repack everything, organize everything in the house. I need to get everything in order and up and running again.
First, I'm going to get rid of the old stuffs. Next, I'll reorganize the old stuffs that I still want into packs and dump them into "cold storage".
After that, I'm going to reshuffle my entire comic collection. And my CDs and Albums collections. And the most difficult one; Everything in my computer. I reckoned I need about 1 week to do this.
7) Other Things
What else? Yes yes... cancel the darn Viwawa insurance (Just wrote and sent the letter this morning). Go for appointment at AU. Settle the donation card....
...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Why I see other people so free... :(

Money No Enough 2 - Switch Off Your Phone
I saw the first one more than 10 years ago, when I was still a little kid.
Can't believe it's now back.
And it got the best "switch off your phone" clip ever.

Spore Creator Editor
The Spore Creator is finally out. Played around with it for a while and created my first creature ever (Just anyhow one lah)....
Named it Barbarsaur for whatever reason. It was quite a fun experience. LOL.
Barbarsaur is a really friendly and cute "dino-like" creature, protected with rocky body and spikes on his back. He attacks with his "ferocious" bite. This picture shows Barbarsaur with his "gina", little barbarsaur.
Unfortunately, I forgot to save when I quit the program -_- ... Now I lost the first ever creature I created.
...
Anyway, went to browse around youtube to see some creatures other more "talented" people created...
And...WOW. All I can say it...
Humans imagination are limitless.
...
...
The Penis Monster
The HumanHead
Haunter
...
Wow...
The trial is extremely limited (only about 25% of the parts enabled)...
Now I'm really tempted to get the full version of the editor... -_-
And I couldn't wait for the game release!!!
