Scandals on fire!

June 26th, 2008

Weather: Cold morning, warm afternoon and evening

Mood: Hurt and pissed.

Barely 2 weeks here, most of us already have a common enemy, this KuroButa called Michelle. Really wanna know why she is chosen to be a scum master (oops i meant that!) She together with this fucking slut from my major at ADM called Joanne LooLing, chao cheebyez

Luckily i have more friends here who are on my side and stood up for me against those childish scandals…

1) I was sleeping in the gal’s dorm overnite on the sofa and disturbing in their sleep?! Com’on!

Facts: 2 mentors who happened to be in the same dorm, looked at the sofa and make comments that even people will think twice about sitting on the sofa, let again sleep there overnite? And why would i be so fucking stupid in the world to sleep on the sofa when i have a fairly nice bed? And besides, i dun even stay past 9pm unless my bitching khakis are with me? (Btw she is STILL in my room NOW, a all guy’s dorm at 12.25am.. the only gal amongst the guys.. so what does this prove?)

2) I go around making enemies?

Facts: Reality check, i think that kurobuta was taking about herself. Her only friends on her team are probably those ignorant and oblivious of her bitchiness… chao cheebye.. think about it blood boil. And she said I reprimanded her on 1occasions? I DUN EVEN WANNA WASTE MY SALIVA AND MUSCLE STRENGTH TO TOK TO HER, let alone reprimand her?????

OH well…its been a pretty hectic week so far (midwk now) and Ive settled a couple of design stuffs and such on the game. I do hope the programmers can really make up the game controllers by the end of the week… its a risky project but we chose it and we hope to achieve the best out of it! Go Mokians! (thats us! haha mokians from Moki Studio!)

hahahaha btw for some god damn reason, they were cooking in my suite and they set off the fire alarm. Really big hoohaa!! Hahaha… ALL of us had to evacuate the building… the ENTIRE dorm! Hahaha we were luffing and joking and bitching about tat cheebye.. MIchelle who triggered it off… MI AND XINRU managed to snap photos with the firemen! They were so obliging it was so funny hahaha.. and Yixin went around taking the video and us bitching about tat CHEEBYE michelle.. damn funny.. i shall have to put it up here… but definitely not on UTUBE.

Hehehe gotta settle my registration and head to bed.. :( lonely otanjyobi!

Yummaaalicious best meal so far..

June 22nd, 2008

Weather: getting warm.. but still nice with the occasional wind (not much perspiration! woot!)

Mood: Kinda lonely

WOot, managed to sleep in kinda late this nice saturday weekend, hahaha luckily I didnt oversleep! Had planned to go with some of the members to Salem Witch ground this nice saturday morning, but we kinda missed the 11+ train to Salem and the next one would get us there by around 2PM, Salem sorta closes at 5pm? So yea POSTPONED.

We went to Quincy market to savour the wonder food there, not too expensive considered to the high standards of living in USA… shared the clam chowder from CHOWDA and fresh peeled shrimps with Yixin.. Chowder at $4.95 with lotsa clam meat in’em and 6 large succulent sweet yummalicious shrimps at 9.95. Not too bad!!!! Totally enjoyed it!

Yixin is superb lame la.. when Im with her.. we machiam 2 annoying idiots hahaha.. but its so fun at times. At least she doesnt put up a false front, wanna be merry, merry to the max… thats shld be the spirit. I still luff at the “walking around” lame thing.. when Kester said.. lets walk around the area lah… she SPONTANEOUSLY walked in circles on the spot hahahahaha omg… and then theres the scene where she wanted to spoof the VICTORIA’s SECRET poster hahahaha darn funny…

We walked down to Chinatown… argh blisters breaking out on my feet.. lousy shoes.. gotta get a good and nice looking pair soon… WE MANAGED TO TASTE THE YUMMALICIOUS AND CHEAP LOBSTER NOODLES FINALLY!! OMG.. for us$10.50/pax we had a filling meal… and the lobster was sooooo nice, fresh, sweet, succulent, yummy, delicious, value worth..ok im drooling now… gotta make sure go there a few more times to saVOUR IT! NOW TAT IS LIFE!

The lobster got us all energized again, and we went on to c-mart to do our grocery shopping for next wk, bought lotsa veges~ yay! finally… i love veges.. and some pork ribs and squid etc.. had a major hard time bringing back the stuffs :(   blisters blisters blisters… doesnt help one bit.. hahaha

Great saturday overall… gotta sleep early for tml’s Salem outing! Woohooo now where’s my broom (and yixin’s vacuum cleaner)…

Pitch..bitch..Pitch..

June 19th, 2008

… activities in a day!

Weather: Getting warmer, but chilly when the wind blows!

Finally was able to do a more indepth game play and design development for the so many high-level concepts that have sprouted from our minds the past few days. Narrowed down to couple of viable concepts for ingredients, mixed up 2 seemingly wonderful concoctions, need more spices to churn out the zangy tastes and fun elements for better taste! arghz sorry…. im hungree again… juz saw the photos taken from my team mate who had already tasted the much heard about “tasty and affordable” lobsters in Boston. I hope i can get to try it really soon!!~!~! yummalicious!

Its so exciting.. brainstorming is always the mentally taxing part… and development is physically tiring but fun as u begin to see your product take a physical form and mass!! woohoo!! excited excited excited

But still i miss my frens and family in Singapore tho, due to the 12 hrs time difference (half a day!).. its so surreal-like, as if in another different world from them…

Need to find out what is wrong with the new wordpress theme that forbids mi to upload photos! W#$%R#$%

Tralala~

1st working monday in MIT, Boston…

June 17th, 2008

Chilly day (about 15DC with blowing wind)

Rainy evening and probably nite, unpredictable Boston Summer.

Mood: Melancholy and missing some things back at home definitely.

Hmm its been a week here and ive finally settled down enough to think about how to continue typing out a new entry of my blog.

All the weird shit that has happened, so surreal feeling of being here, now, in Boston USA, a place Ive always seen on tv, admired and longed to visit, but its so different from what u see on tv! its NOTHING like wat uve seen on tv.. haha cept’ the big sized angmohs.. well..

After all the big hoo-haa ordeals, getting our connecting flight from Chicago to Boston cancelled due to the bad weather, having to put up for a nite at a hotel, suffering from jet lag (wasnt badly affected) we finally made it to Boston MIT. Dorm wasnt too shabby (yea no fan.. had to buy one immediately on the 2nd day haha) and now Im settling in, like home sweet home now.

Took lotsa photos, will find time to put them up into a flash slide show and upload here which makes it much easier to view.. and to copyright protect aniwaez. Got quite sick of the western stuffs here riaoz, all the burgers and transfat is making mi fat! YEs.. BUT apparently, i seem to be losing weight instead..cos my once tight jeans is now.. LOOSE! haha

Been hanging out with Yixin and Xinru, hehe have couple of images of them, they are very open and vocal, love their company.. Yixin is one drama funny queen haha… we cook often for dinner, to save money and oso cos we miss Singapore food!

Today was the first day of starting on the more concrete idea development. We had a feedback session with the 2 product owners, and yea… like what I had thought about the other ideas proposed, were lacking the idea of pushing the pdt owners’ animation controller system to the optimal. Gave a couple more suggestions, on how I feel about the importance of physics elements, and afterthoughts on the existing ideas and how it might be possible to improve them. The products owners were generally pleased with my ideas of “Rampage” and “Stamina & Balancing” system.. so we got down as a team and further worked it out. Not bad for a start as we managed to develop quite indepth into the game, its target audience, art style approach, level design and its mechanism. Will be brainstorming again tml, and try to work out further more ideas, afterall the more the better, so that we can drop the pitch to them again this coming thur evening.  Was overall, I feel a fruitful day, as most of us were quite pleased with the visual image of how our product will be like, and we even managed to type out a simple Scrum design draft.

Till then, ciaoz!

INT FINAL PROJECT FOR Y02 S02!

April 29th, 2008

Hmm hehe this is my project that I did… managed to “interview” some people who played with it.. and they thought it was nice… and some audience came up and told mi their good reviews of it…

Its just a simple project.. im glad I managed to pull through all the hideous technical stunts I had to do for it.. thanks a lot to LL for helping mi a lot a lot alot… I mean it..
Heres the writeup:


“Murderous Delicay”:

“Meals are a compulsory part of everyday life, and its only human to enjoy delicacies. But what hideous crimes are buried beneath a sumptuous meal to satisfy one’s tastebuds?”

It is an interactive installation.. when the audience approaches the normal looking pot elevated on a platform and lifts up the cover.. he/she is greeted by a delicious smelling scent from the soup base… But behind the delicious looking soup and its inviting smell, a display of murder scenes gradually unfolds itself.. and the user is surrounded with an eerie soundscape

Items used:

Pot // acrylic box // Light sensor //  Teabox //  macMini // miniProjector // speakers //  patch (MAX)

The weather is hotter than all FHM babes put 2gether!

April 29th, 2008

Talk about hot!

Weather is realllllly climbing up the thermometer here… I even noticed condensation on the outside of my reef tank!! Rarely observed!! Arghz.. I better put up the external thermostat just in case :(

Nothing been going on much the past few days… been wasting time travelling to campus to setup one of the god damn installations no thanks to the fucking useless and perverted Prof K. F from my major department. In my eyes, hes getting more and more branded as a paedophile everyday.. just waiting and hoping for something to happen to TAKE HIM DOWN!

Ruiqi left for the US today.. she’s probably still on the plane now :) Had a gathering with her and Piano yesterday… went to eat crab noodles at Don’s Pie Club.. haha not bad la :) RQ & I proceeded to finish the gathering with a nice dessert haha at a shop located near Lucky Chinatown.

After that went to catch a movie with James.. sigh.. (lets not talk about it), Harold and Kumar was darn funny! Hahaha you guys really should just get the dvd… the jokes are so lame.. i walked with a cripple after the movie.

OH YES!!!!! I BOUGHT THE DVDSET OF THE KOREAN DRAMA “THE LEGEND”, only finished first disc, not bad CG GFX.. hmm but the story is still in the boring undeveloping stages… oh well…

Ok.. beh tahan.. i shall leave it at here.. no pictures… :P

K-session = Mana and HP up 100%!

April 24th, 2008

Hen~ nano~~ my mobile phone seems to be dying on me really soon :( Juz reboot and tons of smses came in… dareka~ tasukete~ *can donate to my iPhone fund.. anyone? hehe..

Hahaha wonderful time today~ met up with Piano, Yulingz and Mattina for a Ksession at $10 club!! Well worth the moolah~ but by the end of the day, we all seemed worn out :D Finally I got to sing my hearts out without a worry on mind… (still filled with misery and anguish of many moral, mental and trust issues from sch fuck!) Got to try out Sim Tia de Gan Jue for the first time~ super emo, its so me! kyahaha the kanpai of honey drink~~ was superb~

Was really surprised at yulingz hitting the canto and hokkien song.. haha always had the impression she is very versed in proper english and chinese.. and Mattina sang too!! Woosh, she has a good voice :D And so did piano~ (but she seemingly sang so few… then towards the end.. a bit went bonkers.. haha started attempting “KenLee” haha ~*kawaii desune!*~

Hehe ok.. a bit too ‘eng’ tonite.. so just anyhow draw something.. using a character that MIGHT be making their debut appearance here soon! momo-copy.jpg

Early Saturday Morning…

April 19th, 2008

Hehez… i feel more refreshed now after having a good nite of uninterrupted sleep :D Genki naru~

Its a goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood morning, I managed to watch some live clips of moMusume performing their new Resonant Blue (quite hip hop and R&B, as usual it takes a few listens to like the song.. ), tonight nite kiss shinai~ bwahahaha

.

..

(back to reality..)

..

.

Arghz i gotta start revising for my last paper! I prepared the study script for it with help from Piano and some source contributions from SC :( Ok i promise to start later… haha

Yesterday, I took some time off the touch up some issues in my tank (did I mention I love widlife and I have a reef tank at home :D ) Aniwaez… took time to reposition some corals as they were growing and zapping each other with their ectoplasm :P ok i was being nonsense (but hey, its true tat corals are territorial too, they release toxics to mark their positions!)  Will try and dedicate a thread entry to my tank ~*heez*~

Aniwaez I wanna bark.. literally, on some issues that dogs are colourblind! MINE’s NOT! He differentiate races apart :P Hes terrified of the darkest-toned people… Some reaction of ambient telepresence from him (knowing which race has just stepped out of the elevator): 1) He barks and retreats backwards, 2) shivers and hides in a corner while barking, 3) shitting and peeing all over the damn place!

Managed to snap some images of him in his pathetic state.. here they are!

1.jpg2.jpg3.jpg4.jpg

Haha this morning, was feeling really hungree.. decided to rampage the place for food.. was surprised to see my sister up SO early!  Hahaha and heres the next shock and pleasant surprise… SHE MADE MAYO EGG DRESSING! omg! And it looked presentable and it actually tasted good!! Also on the line-up was my dad’s spicy tuna dressing.. arghz both equally as nice, but my dad makes his dressing a tat’ too spicy at times :( Heres images of my sumptuous breakfast ~*+yummalicious+*~
