I have a new connection!

After many months of putting up with a crap internet connection I have made the decision to switch to starhub..

And its extremely easy to even set up a wireless connection!

You just set up your router first, and make sure your security settings are done. You just have to set to DHCP automatic configuration (I'm using a Linksys WRT54G). Then just switch it off, and connect it to the cable modem. Switch both on, and everything works!

I should have been on starhub years ago.....

Undead Assault 2

I am half proud to say that I have introduced a game to church people, called Undead Assault 2. Simply put, it involves a team of up to 11 people holding out against a horde of zombie invaders.. Variations in the game include difficulty settings, and there's also a mode called Umbrella mode, where your team (the US Marines) have to try to control the sector despite Umbrella troopers' interference (read that as: kill the troopers and stay alive).

As you play the game you get to save and load, so you retain experience and unlock different classes, so you get to play as a medic, machine gunner, cyborg, forward observer.... the list goes on. So its kinda fun. Choosing the right classes lets you complement your team and succeed in the mission better.

So far its a good story, but the last time I played with CHURCH people, there was swearing going on, and I mean people swearing at each other. This is disgusting. I did not introduce the game so that we could swear at each other. Why is swearing while playing an e-game more acceptable than swearing while playing ping pong?

If i get the same amount of swearing while playing with church people compared with playing with people online, i will just play online. The next time i play on lan, i will leave the moment i hear swearing again.

What signifies the end of the semester?

For some of us, its the exact time you walk out of the exam hall for the last paper.

For some of us, its the moment you go watch a movie with your friends.

For me, its the time when i burn all the files i used onto a DVD and keep it in a cold dark place....

What about you?

:D

Family Day

It was kinda fun, in a way, but also a let down in a way..

But i'm glad i took part, overall? It was my motivation to be running even through my studying.. And it kept me from getting sian.. Although i think for future family days i will just go down for a fun jog and nothing more.. I'm getting too old for this kind of intense stuff...

My motto for this semester is "看开一点". Yes. You don't get marks for stressing, but you get marks for showing your understanding. So rather than spend time freaking out, 看开一点, and go have a nice cup of tea. Then as you sit down, ask yourself "what else do I not understand?" Then attack your notes relentlessly.

Anyhow. i think i injured my left arm pushing off the 100m..

Pausing to think on the train made me realise that i have a million and one things to do after my exams, so thats kinda fun as well...

So remember, kiddos... 看开一点, or its NUS (No Use Studying)..
