Okay, i have decided after long deliberation that i will drop A Team, lol. ironic, i was so amped up during the interview, and i drop it just a couple of days after. lol. Kinda reminds me of that time in secondary school in which i quit a month before i was supposed to be president of IT club. lol. Anyways, that doesn't matter. I decide that i need to put more time into my course and my work. Besides, i only need one CCA, and 2 ccas is one too many. Was already feeling the strain in which i got so many ccas and not enough time. I don't want to be caught in a tight jam.
After writing my resignation letter...yes you heard me right... i have officially left A team. So now i can resume my archery as normal and my studies... in which i seriously think i'm falling behind in math... which sux. I don't want to be stuck in the same vortex of doom i was stuck in in secondary school again.
Anyways, i got class soon, so i'll catch up later.

Dillema....
Okay, so yea reading that tittle prolly poked someone in their ribs.. heh. Well, this is the situation i'm currently facing, well i guess i dug my own ditch...
As you know if you have read my blog, i've got 2 CCAs. One is Archery and the other is A-Team. Okay let's break it down...
Archery
- Selection through basic archery course
- Training every Monday, Wednesday, Saturday. With set time and location.
- Still going through Archery's Basic Archery Course.
- If fail, then off the club.
- If pass, then will have to find a way to union the Archery Club and A team or drop Either/Or.
A Team
- Selection through interview
- Meeting every Wednesday fortnightly
- Events participating will force me to miss lessons/Classes.
- Means catching up lessons..Not something I'm happy to do...
- Timing Clashes with Archery
- Technically, am in A Team Already.
So with that points put across.. what should i do? I don't want to spiral out into daily planner hell like my secondary school days. I should know of all people that having dual CCAs don't work for me....but why did i do it :<. I dunno. For now i guess, the situation i'll take is to give A team a trial of 2 months while i wait for my archery basic course to finish. If i pass, then i'll have to continue with this dillema... if not, then i guess i'll only have one cca to worry about.
Other than that, i'm enjoying school... I like the subjects and when you like the stuff you are learning, you'll like studying it. heh. So yay for me! And even better news is that i have no exams...yippy. But that means being constant with work which i seriously don't mind.

Labour Day!
Yay, 30th post... this call for a celebration..haha.
Well, let's see it's labour day today, and sadly, no vart lessons... they are the most funnest subject i have.heh. check out my other blog hikari digital base, to see what i'm working on now. Well, anyways, my class has 3 daniels and 2 melvins. haha. It's fun. lol. I took up A-Team and Archery, yes I'm feeling like A person now...get it? yes, i'm abit looney. lol.
Archery is fun, but there is a basic course i got to go through and the team apparently will drop members who do not pass the test at the end of the course which is in 5wk's time. OMG stress...lol. on another note, i joined the A team, the school's ambassadorial team which does event planning, organising, management, ushuring and all that stuff... the interview 2 days ago for it was like a business interview..omgawd...haha... well.. we'll see tommorow if i get in.
anyways, i'm off. need to relax.

A new chapter unfolds
Just finished a bleach marathon lol. season 1 to 2.now kinda mid-way. anyways, not alot has changed in a couple of months. I'm down with the Flu, :( what's worst is that my acedemic year begins this coming monday. OH yeah, orientation was fun....well not really, more like lame, but then again, isn't orientations supposed to be lame? lol. I like my class, it's looney. there are 3 daniels and 2 melvins. lol. would seriously be a challenge to figure out a way to identify who is who. lol.
Planning to get myself an external hard disk, like my lecturer recommended and trade in my old ibm for a Eee PC. Yup, an Eee PC. lol. The main laptop i have is about 3.4kg... gasps. lol. It's a media laptop, err, Acer 5920G (http://www.acer.com.sg/products/aspire5920G/psp_aspire5920G.asp), yep gemstone. It's way to heavy to lug to school every day, so, i'll only use it for projects, the eee pc will be my friend for other days.
anyways, Orientation was kinda cool...yeah kinda. we played looney games, oh yeah, we had a damn funny CC (course coordinator). She's hilarious. most of the guys are cool. Oh yeah, i met that guy, netto, he's cool too. Anywho, things will get interesting the upcoming week, so stay tune :D.

Fresh Fruits!
Hey again, well my spirits are up and better. a couple of interesting things has happened so far and i think i'll try to sum it up.
Firstly, i'm heading off to Nanyang Technological University....
Yar...
Right...
Wahaha, nah i'm heading to Nanyang Polytechnic studying a course under the name Digital Entertainment Technology. Well for you guys who dunno what that means, it's also known as Game Development &/Or Animation. So yeh. At first i was like... i don't really care, which poly i ended up in, I've been through neighbourhood schools, so no matter how many ah bengs and ah lians or mat gangsta, I can still survive.
Lol. I did abit of background search on opinions and found out oh hold and behold that the poly i'm in has both lols. But i'm not worried, i'm great with both types of people, as long as they aren't those "I want to own you sort of people". Besides, with the mats i can play my malay card as well. Hey it's one upside for being a malay. heh.
Oh also an interesting note, i have a friend in my old eAthena days who turns out to be going to the same course/school as i am.. how cool is that? I have never met him before so heh. Anyways, turns out Nanyang is well known for media and IT, so it'll probably cool i guess. Never have been to the open house before so i dunno... Heared the campus is nice... And i just came across someone's blog that the course has alots of Maths(Especially Add Math) and Physics. My response? Somehow i'm not surprised. Kinda what i was expecting. Always have excepted that my line of work lies in the technicality of the world. Both i'm not that excellent at, but i think i can get by.
Well, in other news, i've stop working, yerp today's my last day and i'm preety much free to do whatever i want to do till school year begins in april. Probably exercise and lose the pounds i put on during my working months. lol. Feels funny to now contribute to the jobless demography of Singapore haha.
les-see...
Oh yeah an interesting thing happened last tuesday. I was walking back from work see, i was at the escalator at the MRT station and i found 2 $2 notes on the floor. The first thing i did was ask the guy infront of me, whom was rummaging through his wallet if he dropped it. For some odd reason he said nope and didn't want it. Suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, i gave the 4$ to the old women selling tissue paper outside the station. On a normal occasion i would probably keep it, but something pulled me to do it. So...dunno lah.
Eh, polys have no more consessions and i'm feeling the pinch every time i travel. $1.40 every time i go up to toa payoh and another 1.40 when i go down. Damn painful to burn the hole in the pocket.
Well, with so much free time what am i going to do with it? Lol. give you a preview, this sat i have an airshow to go to and also a Singapore Game Industry Seminar to attend. lol. My mum for some odd mad reason wants me to go to some microsoft server launch. trying to squeeze myself out of doing that. Looks like finishing work early infact gives me mad timetables. lol.

Take it all in...
Okay, my life is kinda screwed atm. Sigh. Chinese new year is coming and it won't be a happy one for me. My mum and dad had a short fight. With the end result of my dad not wanting to go for the family reunion at malaysia. So no malaysia for me. Well unless some good news came up. IF there is a better time to reflect on life this is it.
That put aside, today at work i had a little talk again with my boss. To put it simply, i grew another 5 years older in less than an hour. Well, basically if you didn't know me that well yet, i had been the leader of an open source emulator project, a fairly big one that was getting hits like 100, 000 to 300 000 a day, for about half a year and experience from that made me grow older by 20 years. but that is a recount for another time. (for further reading: About Me Entry From Eathena's Wikipedia )
So, well, yeah, i got a bit of reality slapping from my boss. Simply stated, I was not detailed in my job and that I had not noticed this during the probation period my boss gave me, needs to crush that idea that i can give people how to improve, That and i am fickle minded, I let my emotions get the better of me and it affect how i work, thus opening it as an opportunity for people to use it against me. Well that seemed to be a lot of slaps in just 40 mins. Well yes it is. Thankfully i still have my job and i walk away just with minor stiches. Interestingly i didn't feel that i got punched in the face repeatedly. At moments it felt that the temperature in the room rose 200 degrees, then moments later when i took a deep breath and let it all in, the temperature fell faster than it rose.
I expected i would still be reeling when i type this, but surprisingly im not. Now is the time to do some soul searching and to fix all these weaknesses.
I think i'll end off with a short happy saying to brighten the mood since i still technically am feeling like crap from all these happening on the same day,
