I have to admit, seriously admit that there's a craze burning in me!
I saw this upcoming slider handphone from Sony Ericsson, C905, which features an 8.1 megapixel digital camera and xenon flash!
This is crazy okay. The image that was taken by it was acceptable for its class, as in a mobile phone. So don't expect DSLR results!
This phone also comes with Wi-fi and GPS-enabled for geo-tagging of photos and navigation support.
Told you, this phone is simply unbelievable!
This phone will be out around October, around the same date as the Nikon D90!

The keypad slides out!


Now, still considering the Samsung Soul, Samsung Soul b and Sony Ericsson C905.
But I'll be getting a new mobile phone early next year although contract ends this November.
I'll look out for the prices of these 3 phones next year before making any decision.

So right now, I want to sell my Nikon D80 away and get a D90 and then followed by a new mobile phone.
That's all the gadgets I want for the coming year 2009.

OMG! As I was browsing the web for new photography tips, I came to learn that the Nikon D90 was out!
OMG! OMG! OMG!
I always wanted a Nikon D90 but couldn't wait for its release as at that time, no web had show the information about Nikon D90!
So I bought my Nikon D80 during March.
OMG! Now, I somehow felt a little regretful for buying the Nikon D80.
Nikon D90 uses a DX-format CMOS image sensor, but my D80 uses a DX-format CCD image sensor.
This D90 is also the first DSLR in the world to shoot video at 1280 X 720 pixels!
Totally nuts!! The movie quality is better than some camcorders! Don't believe, go to Nikon global website.
D90 will probably be out in Singapore at around October!!

Anyone want to buy Nikon D80??
If you're interested in buying, please let me know! Including everything, ranging from the kit lens to the accessories and dry box!!!

Pictures of Nikon D90!



The D90 body looks exactly the same as my D80, just that the image sensor used is different and of course, the functions inside D90!
So anyone interested to get a DSLR and don't want to spend a lot of money, just tag in my tag-box and I'll let you know more details and also the price!
I can say that I'm willing to sell my D80 at around $1200 for the kit package, all the accessories and 30 litres dry box.

It's really a good deal, and of course, the price can still be negotiated!!

Yesterday night I was too tired to blog, therefore I'll do it now.
I was supposed to wake up at 7.30am yesterday to go to my jc for teachers' day celebration, but despite how loud my alarm clock rang, I couldn't woke up on time for school and thus I gave it a miss.
Woke up at 10am eventually and then went to my secondary school instead!
By the time I reached, the concert had already ended. But who cares?
I went back to my secondary school to see my teachers and meet my friends.
The 4A clique was hanging around at the usual place - The tables outside the general office!
Those tables over there were where we all mugged for our O' level.
Great memories okay!

Saw Mr Chong, our A & E math teacher and Mr Cheong, pure physics teacher at the table chatting with the early 4A arrivals - Candy, Cherelle, Huiyin, Christina, Eric (The rest came late)
All of us talked about their life in poly and at that time, I was the only jc kid there! Junming, another jc kid, came later.
I heard bryan and rest came, but I didn't saw there. Maybe they went off already! But I saw kervin when I went up the hall.

Of course! 4A is definitely known for its cam-whoring!
Candy & I.


Cherelle & I. My weird face appeared again!


The teachers had meeting at around 3pm.
So Mr Chong went with some of us for lunch at Compasspoint.
8 of us, including Mr Chong, squeezed ourselves in his car!
It was so much similar to a can of sardines!
See! Fully packed! Saw me? I was sitting on junming's lap. Saw Mr Chong's middle finger? Eric was sitting in the front seat and was also holding onto the camera.


We alighted at the Taxi stand while Mr Chong parked his car at the basement of compasspoint. The people at the Taxi stand were shocked to see 7 teenagers squeezing in a small car.
Lunched at Ajisen.
Before the food arrive..

I took a sip of the ice lemon tea, too sour!


Mr Chong went off first because it was already 2.45pm. He needs to attend the meeting.
Jim came to join us and later followed by ernest, bridget, zeliang, etc.
They went to have their lunch, so candy, huiyin,cherelle,junming,christina and I took bus 83 back to school to look for the other teachers and also to wait for Mr Chong to go to Kbox after the teachers' meeting.
On our way back to school, saw Miss Wong, our geography teacher, outside the school on her way home.


We looked for Mdm Nazimah, our english teacher, Ms Seow, ex-english teacher and my favourite teacher of all time, Mdm Lim, my 4 years table tennis teacher-in-charge!
Mdm Nazimah and us!


Mdm Lim, junming & I


Ms Seow and us!


Christina & I. To chris: I'll consider carefully before going to poly. Thanks!


Cherelle! I kept disturbing her the whole of yesterday! Cheers!

So I shall end here.

I can't wait to get a new phone... OMG!
My singtel contract ends this coming November.
Estimated 3 more months!
Currently I'm using a stupid lousy Nokia handphone.
Once my plan ends, I'll sign for Starhub student plan (more worth!).
And the phone that I'll most probably get will be either Samsung Soul (U900) or Samsung Soul b (U800).
Obviously Soul will be better than Soul b, but Soul b is thinner (only 9.9mm) as compared to Soul (12.9mm).

This is Samsung Soul b (U800)..

And this is Samsung Soul (U900)..


Samsung Soul (U900) has a 5mp camera with auto-focus, but when I view the sample photos on the Internet, it wasn't comparable to P&S cameras.
Handphones camera are just meant for convenience and they need a few more years to beat the image quality of modern P&S cameras.
If you want to know more specs about these 2 phones, just 'google' their models and you will know.
These 2 phones have really impressive design!
I'll wait till November then I decide on one of them to buy!
Samsung Soul/Soul b rocks!

Take care!

You must be wondering why the title of this post is called "SATURDAY"?
It's because today a stupid thing happened! It leaves a deep impression due to my carelessness.
So you must be thinking what is it? Okay, straight to the point!
I lost my O2 touch screen phone!
I find myself very silly and yet till now, I'm still thinking it's a joke to believe it. I'll come to this later.
Let me start by the happenings this morning.

I was supposed to wake up at 7am to go to school for H2 Math lecture that starts at 8.30am, but because I slept late the previous night, at around 3am, thus I didn't went for it.
Felt somehow guilty for that.
I'll go for future weekend lessons if there's any.
Slept till 12pm. WOKE UP, Fresh!
Next, had lunch at pp, then watch the Olympic on SCV.
The Russian women's swimming synchronising team won a Gold medal!
I only had 2 words to describe their performance - Graceful & Fabulous!
Spain received a Silver and followed by China.

Then I went to compasspoint at 6pm.
Drizzling at that time.
Went to the library and found an empty bench and settled down to practice on my math!
I had gone through 3 topics in that 2 hours! Functions, Inequalities, Vectors!
I was so pleased with myself to have that motivation to study!
I longed for that studious spirit, yet now then I possessed it. FREAK!
Saw Aloysius in the library, chatted for a while.
He's in nyjc currently, I knew him during sec 3 at sengkang CC during the weekly table tennis training.
3 years already! Study hard Aloysius!

Then at about 7.15pm, Eugene came to joined me for studying.
He's a poly kid imp student, studying Chemical Engineering in TP.
We were studying and talking at the same time.
But I still managed to study despite talking to him.
Then just as we were about to leave the library for our dinner, I realised that my handphone was not on my writing pad.
I put it on my writing pad all the time.
It must be when I turned to the side to talk to Eugene, someone took it without us noticing.
WTF! Okay, anyway since it's gone, then let it be.
I can always buy a new phone since my 2 years contract is coming to expire this November!
That thief who stole my handphone can't use it anyway, because every time when you want to use the phone, you need to press a button to exit the 'stand by' mode, and it'll bring you to a 'login' page, whereby you need to enter a 4-digits security code to use the phone.
Resetting the phone to 'factory default' also requires you to enter the 4-digits security code.
Hey thief, that's too bad for you, out of so many phones to steal, you chose mine and now, you can't use it.
You can't sell it either, because second hand shop owners will not buy it from you as the phone cannot be unlock with my 4-digits security code.
You just got to dispose it eventually.
As for me, I'd called Singtel to terminate the sim card in that O2 phone and Singtel will be giving me a new sim card for free when I go collect it from the Hello shop at compasspoint tomorrow.
The only loss I had was all my contacts!
Damn you thief!
You'll get your 'Karma' soon!

So you see, don't you find that I'm silly in the first place to put my phone on the writing pad and not in my bag? And It's quite funny when I imagine the feeling of the thief!
What a loser thief!

Went to KFC with Eugene for dinner and went to Hello shop to see the latest and coolest phone in the current market - the iPhone 3G!!
We tried it and it was so good!
After that, we bought Sundae hot fudge ice-cream from mac.
Went to the bus 83 stand after that.
At the bus interchange at compasspoint, saw my chinese teacher, Tian 老师, with another female teacher.
I supposed she teaches other school because I don't see her in my school.
All of us board the same bus home.
Chatted about poly stuff with Eugene in the bus and about the funny happenings, especially my lost handphone!

Got home and told me parents about it, they just told me that they will pass me a temporary phone for the time being and will buy me a new one when my contract ends this November.
Not interested in mobile phones already.
When I was in my secondary school, I was so crazy over new release of mobile phones.
Now, any phone also can because the main purpose is to make phone calls and sms.

So right now, I'm using my cousin computer to blog, as my laptop is still at HP servicing centre and will get it back this Tuesday!
Oh man, my laptop was sent for servicing for 1 and a half week already!

Going to sleep soon.
Take care everyone!
Tomorrow need to wake up early to complete all my homework and read up for my Chemistry and Economic.

Starting from today, I'm going to start mugging for my upcoming promotional exam!
Less than 3 weeks, I'm too lazy to count the exact number of days [not going to waste my time to count]
Anyway, I'm going to study damn hard for my economic and chemistry, followed by math and at the same time read through the gp stuff.
As for chinese and physics, I'll happy-go-lucky.
I hope to score at least 50 points and above before going to poly!
Project work is another time killer - eats up my time for studying.
But I'll still do a clean job for PW.

I know I should not only say and say what I'm going to study, and should take action immediately.
So, I shall end my blog here and start revising for my math test tomorrow and also read up the market structures for economic.

Take care everyone!

Finally, after 48 years of fighting for an Olympic medal, Singapore Women's Table Tennis team had made Singapore proud by winning a Silver medal.
Singapore coach Liu Guodong had helped Singapore ended her 48 years medal drought.
The 3 Table Tennis heroines: Li Jiawei, Feng Tianwei & Wang Yuegu had played at their best at this Olympic games.
I felt happy and proud of them!
Here are the pictures!

Li Jiawei in action!

Feng Tianwei in joy as she hugged her coach, Liu Guodong.

Wang Yuegu & Li Jiawei playing in the Women's Double.

Prize Giving Ceremony - Singapore received a Silver!

Good job Singapore Women's Table Tennis Team!!!
Today, 17th August 2008 at the Peking University Gymnasium in Beijing, will be remembered by many Singaporeans as Singapore gets her first Olympic medal after a long wait of 48 years.
Peking University Gymnasium in Beijing


I'm going to sleep now.
Good night everyone.

I had just change my old & ugly default blog skin to this now!
Hopefully it's nicer and to me, this skin is nice.
The silhouette is very cool!
Anyway, there's no songs on my blog currently, due to some problems I faced on imeem.
But I'll put on the imeem player asap.
I'm off to slack, plus a little of studying!
Poly here I come!
Take care everyone!

4 more weeks to my promotional exams, yet right now [I could say this feeling started about a week ago] I'm feeling damn confused!
Should I stay in JC or start a new phase of my life in poly? [most likely TP]
To be honest, I'd settled down in JC, had great friends over here, especially the people from 1S22 and my table tennis mates.
ARGH! It's getting me crazy! I kept thinking and my thoughts aren't just not sort out, or kind of thing.
Next Saturday, Miss Ni is getting some of her friends, of different occupations to come over to the school to talk to us.
I want to ask about the career of a photographer, pilot and management.
I think to me, JC isn't the route to what I want to be in the future, I believe I can do well in poly.
My mum just let me decide, she said as long as I'm happy with it and don't regret, she will be glad enough to let me go to poly.
As for my dad, he was slightly against me for going to poly, since I managed to get into a jc.
He told me even if I want to go poly, he would expect me to pass my promo first then talk about it.
Adding on to that, I felt the need to do well for my promo and to prove to my dad and sis that I'm capable of studying in JC.
So even if I pass or fail my promo, no matter what's my rank point, I'll still go to poly.
I would most probably go to TP as most of my pss friends are over there.
And of course, my gf is at TP too! Will look for her over there, although she told me to stay in JC as she don't want me to waste 1 year in JC for nothing.
Argh! I know she has a point there, but I still think that poly is much more suitable for me.
Life will be better off in poly, definitely for sure!
Despite wasting 1 year in JC, I find that it's alright because at least I been through JC and know how it felt, thus it'll give me a better head-start in poly.

Benjamin is also going to poly. I'm not sure which poly he's going to, but he told me that it'll most probably be Banking & Finances in SP.

Just can't wait for promo to be over, study for these 4 weeks and also get the PW done properly [I hope I can]. Do well for my promo and go for the Vietnam trip during the December holidays [yongheng and darius going!] and then go to poly next year jan/feb.
That's what I'm going to do.
Will definitely miss my 1S22 friends here in jc and those funny moments we all had.
But I gotta get moving on in my life and not to stuck in a 2 years course in JC where I don't do well for A level and also, the chances of getting into local universities are very slim!
My sister who got 65 points can't make it to local uni, thus she's now taking a degree in NIE.

So I think my final decision are quite clear, still not going to confirm whether to stay or go to poly.
But chances are I'll be going to poly.
What course I'm going to take in poly, is still not confirm!
Maybe Visual Comm. in TP, or Banking & Finances, or management.. I still don't know yet.
So now, I'm going to work hard for my promo! 4 more weeks...

Take care everyone!

Finally free to blog!
I was quite busy that I didn't have the time.
So for now, let me reflect on the things that had happened since Wednesday and what I had done.

Wednesday, 6th August
CCA day, but that day the hall was used by the teachers for Thank-Giving Day rehearsal. So my table tennis training was cancelled!
And so, I don't need to train, which I think I won't be training for the next 1 and the half month? Because my promo exam is just like 5 weeks away.
So I stayed back in school with jiale and germayne to do the GP AQ [Application Question] in the library and printed it out and handed it to miss ni.
After that, supposed to helped jiale and germayne project work group to take some photos for their 'pilot testing', which required benjamin to climb the wall.
But benjamin had some physical training that day, therefore photos wasn't taken and jiale went home first.
Left me and germayne in the school concourse bench.
So I do the chemistry assignment homework while germayne wait for his gf.
Chemistry homework was supposed to be handed up on Monday, yet I started on it on Wednesday.
My procrastination never dies...
Then later saw michelle, her tennis training was over.
She asked germayne & I to accompany her to hougang mall to buy her mother a cake.
I'm so lazy to go, but since germayne is going, thus I just tagged along.
Just outside the school, germayne's gf called and he had to go back to school and send her home, I guess?
Then in the end, only michelle & I went to hougang mall.
On the way, I kept 'dragging' myself, because I don't feel like going as I had to go back to school again to hand in the chemistry assignment to miss cheng.
But still, I accompanied michelle to hougang mall Bengawan Solo.
Michelle bought a cheese cake for her mum, and I told michelle that she was very stingy, because cheese cake means 'cheap-skate'. My joke was cold & lame. I know that!
Returned back to school after that and I met jason and we sat near the basketball court talking nonsense, as usual.
He left at 6pm. I went to my locker to put some stuff and on my way down, saw some 1S22 people near the track area.
Slack a while there and talked so crap.
Lots of pictures were taken, yet I only got 1 of them.

Only guys! Yongheng & wenbin were still having their training, so they weren't there.
Went home after that.

Thursday, 7th August
Just a normal day.. Nothing special.
Played basketball during pe with the guys and happy-go-lucky again.
I don't like Mr Lim. He's not a good pe teacher, doesn't do his part as a pe teacher and to me, he's just 'eating snakes' and wasting moe resources.

Friday, 8th August
A real special day!
I missed that day, even now..
No school on that day, but we are supposed to go back to school at 5pm for the Thank-giving concert, performed by the teachers.
It's very exciting and it's also the best ever concert performed by teachers in my education years.
Secondary school concert was nothing as compared to this.
I hoped to have the video of the concert as I want to watch it again.
I shall ask from the photography club.
Miss ni, miss cheng and even miss au performed well. Their singing and dancing were good!
The Math department had sang the song "一千年以后" and every math teachers had their young time photos shown on the projector screen.
Mr Lau looked almost the same when he was young. Damn funny.
Our class took a few photos after the concert. Mr Lau & Miss Ni were in the picture too. OMG!
Some of 1S22ers...

Miss Ni & Mr Lau joined in!

Then the 1S22ers went to kovan Yoshinoya for dinner.
Bukcheng & I didn't eat. I wasn't hungry at that time.
Talked a while at there and michelle wanted to go for a drink at Clarke quay.
Wenbin & I suggested to buy some liquor at 7-eleven instead because it's cheaper this way and safer for michelle.
Sat outside kovan 7-eleven and drank 3 bottles of liquor.
I bought 2 bottles of 11% and michelle bought 1 bottle of 8%.
The one that I bought tasted nicer.
Bukcheng, wanru and cheryl didn't drink at all.
Me, michelle, wenbin, yeehua, timothy, rueyyi, wenhui drank.
I drank the most, 1 and the half bottle of 11% one and some mouth of the 8% one.
My mind got 'washed out' after 10mins or so, I couldn't really think properly, but still wasn't drunk. But if another 2 bottles of 11%, I would be on the floor asleep.
Went home and bought my dog down, with a sub-conscious mind already, at around 1am.
After that, bathed and sleep very soundly.

Saturday, 9th August
Happy 43th Birthday Singapore!
Met derek at kovan for pool at around 4pm.
Played for 2hrs and ate carrot cake at the coffee shop beside kovan heartland mall.
Grandmother cooked curry, bak kut teh, fried vermicelli, fried rice and rice.
Almost everyone are coming to her house for dinner.
Some of my aunties and cousins are playing mahjong in the room. And they played till the next afternoon.
I was watching the Beijing Olympic games and the national day parade on tv.
Watched The Forbidden Kingdom on my laptop and slept at 3am.

Sunday, 10th August
Woke up at 12pm and ate yesterday's curry with rice for lunch.
Revised through the Chemistry SPA stuff, memorised again.
Then later slept from 3-8pm.
Woke up and went to punggol plaza for dinner.
Then accompanied my mum to ntuc to buy stuff.
Later on, brought my dog down for a walk. Saw baoxing on the way, and my dog kept barking at her. Baoxing was afraid of my dog now, because he was so hostile towards her.
Bathed and rest for an hour.

Past 12am already, so it's Monday, 11th August.
Used my laptop from 1am till now. Quite tired already.
And I'm meeting darius at kovan at 11am.
Hopefully I can wake up!
I slack quite a lot for the past 2 days. I better start work when I wake up later.

Time now is 5.09am
I'm waking up at 8am to study.
Take care everyone!

I'm able to blog once again.
Was quite busy during the past few days.
Anyway, yesterday was my school charity run event "I Will Run".
Run 1km/person will be able to raise $1.
I ran 16 rounds, which is 16km in total.
That was my first time running 16km and I didn't stop at all.
I paced myself and together with germayne and buk cheng.
I kept pouring water on my body and wet my lips constantly.
The run was great and so was the event!
$50k was given to SDSC [Singapore Disability Sports Council] by my school at the end of the event, to send their athletes to Beijing Paralympic Games.

So after the event, some of 1S22 people went to Bishan J8 for lunch.
Took bus 55 there, and in the bus, this incident happened.....

Buk cheng was sleeping in the bus, lying on someone's shoulder.

Lunched at Pastamania and took some photos with yeomei and wanru's canon cameras.
Here's another one...

2 gays, buk cheng and wen ya wen bin.

Went home after lunch. Took bus 13 with yong heng and cheryl to boon keng.
Then I took train to punggol, took about 30 mins. Quite fast.
Sleep immediately upon reaching home.
For about 2 hours and woke up.
Then I took bus 62 to kovan to meet darius. I was late!
And 1 very funny thing was darius told me while he was waiting for me, he almost got 'raped' by a man.
Darius said that man was a gay, kept looking at him and following him.
A gay at Kovan!
Darius shall be the 2nd one.
Anyway, played pool with him for 1 hour and a half.
Went home to change and get my studying materials and headed to potong pasir.
Took bus 133 from the mrt station 3 bus stops down and met up with darius.
He stayed 24th floor. The breeze up there was good!
We stayed up till 4am, then slept till 8.30am this morning and went out at 10am for breakfast at boon keng KFC and studied for econs.
Finally, we went home at 3pm.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


While I was blogging this post, I was being insulted by someone through msn!
I was stunned at that moment.
that person said this to me...

Say until as if my math will always be so lousy..
Yong heng also got the same exact sentence a moment ago.
He was quite pissed with that person.
