Yo ppl, sorry for not blogging for 1 week alrdy. Was very busy and stuff.

Monday i went to the healthway clinic cuz i gotta go to some medical check-up for my color vision test.

I was at home on Tuesday cuz i gotta pack my bags for my hols.

On wednesday, I went to NP to buy the Acer laptop for my sis with raymond liew and ...... i dunno how to spell her name. Istene? Sorry. Yah, i went there and like 80% of the ppl bought FUJITSU. Omg. So common lah. Its either ppl buy it cuz its light or the design is nice and the specs are crap. And Fujitsu's components are made in China and built in Japan. So dont think that Fujitsu is a Jap brand and its made in Japan. It isnt...... Thats why there are loads of problems with the hinges and some overheating problems. (which is worse for Acer and their overheating stuff...)

On Thurs, i met up with Jerald Tan, Daryl Pung and Gab Sng to go to the IT show to buy my Asus G50Vt laptop. Turns out to ran out of stock (which it isnt... U need to order it and it takes a month to deliver it to u). Then we felt sian, so all 4 of us went to Paradiz there to play L4D till 5.30pm. Gab, Daryl and Jerald went to eat at Paradiz 1st while i left for Funan to meet my parents and bought the Asus Laptop G50Vt at Juzz1 instead. LOL!

I bought the G50Vt laptop at Juzz1 cuz it costs $2798 with the 2.4Ghz C2D one while the other one at the IT show was selling it for $3098 with the 2.53Ghz C2D and its like white in color with a blueish fiery flame at the cover of the laptop which i can make the same design by using G-Maskm so uncool...

Here is my laptop :D :

Yo ppl! This week is abit more relaxing a boring though.... Heh! I'm still researching for a new laptop, building my spare 1/2A Combat Plane and playing some LAN games. So i've been spending my time at home building my plane and researching while i go out to my sec sch to play LAN in the SYFC Simulator room. Hehe. :P

Anyway, on tuesday night, after playing LAN in the SYFC Simulator room till 11pm, we kinda saw the spotlights in the Sch's Artificial Turf still on! Omg, really a waste of electricity... The Australians (i think) were using the sec sch turf to do rugby trainings, ended like at 9pm and they didnt bother to switch it off. So umm.... yeah look at the amount of electricity wasted:

Sorry for the poor Quality photo, my hand shook the moment i pressed the shutter button. =x

Ystd, i had supper with Gab Ean at Serangoon Gardens. Ok, to gab, its not supper. Its dinner actually. :P. He bought Hokkien Mee and Stingray while I ate the Fried Carrot Cake. The Carrot Cake is kinda nice, but i would still prefer the one at Toa Payoh.
We also ordered 2 big mugs of Sugar Cane Juice and here it is:


After eating, i realised Jan was studying for her test and i kinda thought of buying some nice for her to eat and chill out for awhile before studying again. I bought her Vanilla flavoured Frolick with Strawberry and mango toppings to go with it. Knowing that its gonna melt quickly (ok, 15mins...), Gab and I quickly rushed to Jan's house like mad. We quickly called Jan and realised she left the house 10mins ago. Heh, so we had to ask her to pass the Frolick to her sis and put it into the freezer till Jan comes back.

We waited for bus 315 at the bus-stop outside Jan's house and we kinda missed it. It really took a long time for the next bus to arrive, which was about 20-25mins. So Gab was like playing some deathmatch, survival fighting game and the most he could achieve was like level 40+ out of 100 levels. LOL!

When the bus arrived and we boarded it, Jan came back home. LOL! So we kinda just missed each other during that past 1hr. Haha. Anyway, we took the bus to Serangoon Bus interchange, took the NEL MRT to Potong Pasir and then i took bus 13 back home.

Alrighty, enuff of blogging, time to go back to research for the laptop im keeping for 3 years in Poly... Tata!

To her: Sorry for not saying good luck for yur test last night :(

Yo ppl. Its 6 days since i updated. Yeah. Sry for the almost 1 week delay cuz i was rly busy with my stuff and all. I know its not as stressful as studying or working, but its also pretty hard to build my freaking 1/2A Combat Model Airplane, which is slightly smaller than the bigger F2D Combat plane.

I'm also been flying e flight simulator also to train up for my PPL (if i can pass my flight simulator of cuz) like the Piper Warrior II? Ok fine, i didnt fly that useless plane almost every single day. i found that it was rly no kick le. The F-16s, F-15s and F-18s are also no kick cuz these fighter planes are really sensitive and easy to maneuver, so i can land really easily.

So i decided to first try flying the SR71A Blackbird, the fastest manned plane in the world from Paya Lebar Airbase. I tried hitting mach 2 at arnd 5000 feet, plane overstressed. I tried pulling the plane vertically up and it overstressed again. So i slowly climbed at 60 degrees upwards at mach 0.7 to about 60000 feet where the sky is rly dark, turned back to Singapore and pumped full throttle to about Mach 3.32 (which is only 200 knots, wth....) and then i had to cut my throttle to about 20% and slowly fly at arnd 10-15 degrees downwards back to near sea level where i can land e Blackbird in paya lebar (which u had to go around the whole of Singapore twice juz to drop from 60000 feet to 2000 feet... ). Just to recap to some people who don't know wat a SR71A Blackbird is:


I also flew the Boeing 747 and i managed to land safely 3 times in a row. I took off from Changi Airport, turned to angle 330 and flew for about 10mins there up to 5000 feet and turned back to Changi airport to land. Extremely easy. During the first 2 landings, i kinda over-sped a little cuz i put my flaps down at 40 degrees at 220 knots. Which the Flight Simulator was telling me that the speed was kinda damaging the flaps... But on my third try, it was a smooth as silk. I landed the plane without overspeeding which will damage my flaps and i touched down without even realising that i landed till the control tower said that i have to get away of the runway and move to the nearest taxiway... Just to recap wat a Boeing 747-400 is:


Ok, too much flight simulator goodness. Now pics :D :

One of the Delifrance Desert i ate. It was some ice cream thing on a warm and crispy croissant:


The Simulator room where i fly my Flight simulator. Really good. It has 4 coms with a Core 2 Quad Processor, 20 inch screen (bigger i think), 256mb nVidia Graphics card and something else. 4 really powerful desktops:


Yeah.... The SAYFC Trainers and Seniors (although one trainer is beside me and im also one of the SAYFC Senior):


Shaun and Jonald while we were having coffee in Vivo City on Wednesday afternoon. :P :



The Michael Ching Cup. Its already 2009 and nobody bothered to update it. So my name is the last one written on it... Which is 2006 fyi:




The Dinner with Ian, Sarah, Raymond, Atticus, Jerald and Gab Sng that Ian paid, the day before he flew off to Japan. And the dinner ain't cheap. Thanks Ian Tan for the dinner, take care and stay well in Japan yeah? :D :




Played badminton singles ystd with Wenkai, managed to win 17-15. Phew! Good to see her yesterday too. :P
