Here's the next part of photos taken last Friday. . .















































That's all for my photos taken @ Chinatown. Though I could have taken more, but with the T20's very limited abilities, guess can't do a thing about it. At least I got next Wednesday night to look out for. The fireworks display @ Marina. Gonna snap all the way through during the 6 minutes of display.

CNY is nearing, just days away in fact. Though the hype for it isn't that great now, at least its a long break worth looking forward to. Also pondering whether should I work on the weekend @ Challenger as it promises a higher income than the angbaos as I pursuit my DSLR set. Still got Tuesday to decide, let me think.

Meanwhile, went down to Chinatown last Friday to get some clothes and took some photos at the same time. And yes, I DO REALLY WANT A FREAKING DSLR! ! !

Make do with my little T20 for now. . .

Times just simply flew fly, and already January has passed by in 2008. Already 21 years of age, still single (lolx), broke at times, bored. Ohh well. At least for this year, there are some things to look out for, ORD LO! ! ! Yes, I will be done and over with NS in December and kiss goodbye to the stupid 11B of mine. No more OC and CSM! ! ! Yah, lolx. . .

With ORD coming soon, also other things to think of would be what's next for me? Work will be a must, but with my current on-going but slow progress of my studies, I wonder what options I have. Being nearly 2 years with Blumm and Buffalo makes me wonder does my future lies there or elsewhere in the similar trade. It's February at the moment, so I got nearly 10 months for me to ponder my next but very important step in my life.

Back finally to post. Well, cant think of anything to do while waiting for time to pass by before heading off to supper. As the clock ticks towards 12/09/2007, it simply just means my 12 day leave from ambulance duty is finally over. Hopefully I can still remember what I have to do while on call. All these days of anime, gaming, selling of Buffalo products had not better override my medic skills.

Talking about work, well, been thinking of whether should I proceed to register my own company and ask my bosses for the products that I should go for. To me, main focus is still bringing up Buffalo's name here before doing other items like laptops. Did quite a number of resells, but still mainly small items like routers, no margin to me after deducting away the transport. Aiming to finish my first TeraStation deal as a reseller. Well, still got time for me to think through and decide what it best for me. Afterall, I am a damned 'PHD'.

1 year of being a Buffalo promoter already, yet I still observe the same old nonsense from the general public. "Buffalo?!" "Singapore brand?!" "From where?!" Please, spare me from these, maybe I am the one under false impression; however, after 1 years of selling these products, I expected much better responses from the general public, but the reality is the opposite. Very dishearting. But good news is that increasing number of Linksys users are getting pissed with their wireless, even though they got the 'supposedly' superior routers. Pui, please, you noobs got cheated. Their 'fantastic' hardware and firmware are so infamous, connect a Starhub modem and yay, disconnection for your wireless. And for the Network-Attached Storage or NAS in short no thanks to Maxt0r, D-Link and again, Linksys for their duo bay NAS. Cheapo customers jumping to buy those instead of the quad bay TeraStations. Duo bay NAS its cheap, yes, it does network sharing of storage, but what's the point of using RAID 1 and waste your storage space? Idiots man, wasted my breath on those noobs whenever they asked if Buffalo does duo bays. Even I myself will consider a Tera over those duo bay NAS nonsense. ZzZ, cold hard reality hit me hard arent it? No point grumbling over these, but at least letting these out of my mind makes me feels more at least and you readers can help me by giving comments on them if you know what I am talking about.

Had SPLA's tanghoon festival 2007 last Sunday, but not as lively as last year's. Some of the usual faces wasn't around, but at least some of the year 1s came.



















Just some pictures taken @ SPLA's Tanghoon Festival 2007. If you readers are wondering why 'Tanghoon Festival', well, its like this "Last September, there was an bbq/steamboat dinner and Shaun's place to celebrate the birthdays of August and September babies then. Somehow, we didn't attacked the bbq food that much, instead we went hard on the steamboat, finishing packets and packets of tanghoon in the process. And if I am not mistaken, even someone went to buy more tanghoon! Lolx, and there was this quote going around 'I paid $10 for tanghoon!"

Yah, that's my club in poly, SP Lifearts.

Fews day since my last post. Maybe will do more frequent updates in the future. Ohh well, been doing practically nothing useful save for slacking through my off days. Catching up with Initial D anime, playing through FM 2007. Lazy to finish up the MG Zeta which only left with the legs and weapons left to do. ZzZ, it's like upon waking up, I need to think about what to do for the day. ZzZ, sianz.

Spent hours doing some picture work. Ever since with this new lappy mine, things got a little hard to do as Vista is the OS running. And my good old k800i couldn't link with it will recently when Sony Ericsson finally released the software for Vista. Yeah, long due man. Got it up and running, dumped all the pictures onto my lappy and uploaded them. With the upcoming k850i, time for more shutter clicking moments.

As of Monday, I owns 2 Sony Ericsson phones after trading my O2 Stealth for P990i. The Stealth is a easy to use phone with good functions. But at times, the buggy Windows Mobile OS had irritating problems like this voice tag program that wouldn't close and forces phone calls without me knowing. Basket. And when I decided to trade it off, I absolutely got no idea how to freaking back up the new contacts I saved. In the end, went off to 6range @ AMK Hub and got the p990i. Surprisingly for a handphone shop, its managed by ladies when I was there. And they looked quite pretty, heh, wondered did the staff tended my sale tried to 'charm' me into buying the extra items which I find it pointless. Hah, please, I know my phones and stuff, if not, I wouldn't have got there to get the p990i. Other than the phone, I got 2gb of MS and screen protector as well. Got back home, time to transfer contacts and boy it was only today that I managed to finish the contact list for my new phone.

Also on Monday, I went on a high with Initial D 4 @ Zone X. I think the $20 I put in was gone after an hour of driving. Got the Evo IV and tried it out. After the first round with the car, I already had plans for making it as my first choice already. Cleared Akina Lake in LOTS and in the race against the 2 Tokyo gays, I beat the time record in that machine for Akina Lake. But sadly, I think it wouldn't be recorded since it was done in LOTS instead of TA. Damned. Went a few rounds in Myogi and OUCH! Whenever I reached this 'S' curve, my Evo simply went crazy. My time was like 10 seconds late than the record time. Aww, think gotta refine on my techniques. Before I could think of improving. Stop it for now, cost for a game is high. Not worth throwing money like that. Anyway, as I quit, the game brought me to car shop and after looking through the options, I bought Bozz Muffler. Hopefully it does charms as it did in V3.

Yesterday, went for my first IPPT after posted to AMK FS. Strangely, I am able to get past the static stations with no problem but the 2.4 run which was used to be my easy item, I stumbled. Dunno why I can't emulate my timings in BRTC, factors like fatigue, track conditions, lack of training comes in. Dang, ended up with both thighs suffering tightness now. Basketcase.

I will be starting my own resell blog/site to sell my Buffalo items plus Samsung HD LCD TVs. Stay tune for updates. But meanwhile you guys can proceed to www.buffalo-asia.com and select Singapore to find out what am I selling. Don't worry, the items I sell are brand new and comes with warranty covered by Buffalo.

Done with another shift. Surprisingly, for Sunday, its freaking quiet. Only went for 1 call and that's it! Lolx, easiest day so far. And yesterday, finally tended my first RTA trapped case. Suppose you guys know the accident at Lentor Road that blocked out 3 lanes coming to AMK. Yah, my alpha went for that and goodness me, first sight of accident scene gave me a shock. The vehicles involved were a bus, truck and 2 cars. I thought 'siao liao, mass casualty'. But thankfully, when we got off to the scene, the passengers were unscathed, phew. That leaves the trapped persons in the truck. And after 15 minutes, both got extricated out and sent to TTSH. Thank God no serious injuries to all casualties. At least had an experienced of tending to a RTA trapped case after 4 months into station medic.

And thanks to this month's schedule of weekends working day, ZzZ. Damned wasted. I will have used the day for better uses. Ohh well, since its NS, just stick with it.

Finally end of yet another shift. Been working in night duties before this day shift, found out the hard way that waking up early is pain. Ohh well, at least these 2 days not that busy probably due to fact that its nearing the weekend.

Tried the new Initial D game. Full marks for the new design of the machine, but the game content suk big time. Lesser cars is acceptable, but now the courses available is just 6?! Ohh well, got a new card, sadly, data in the V3 cards are non-transferable, and there goes the work done in V2 and V3. Being a Evo fan, naturally I got an Evo IX. Is it me or what, it seems the game applies new physics. Speed will now drop upon turning and yeah, drops. My Evo IX gear 6 cant be sustained for long. ZzZ, and of course, with the high cost of per game, for mean time, not trying to spend so much time on it.

Guess what? Finally I got the deal I wanted ever since building gundam kits. Item: PG Zeta Gundam. Original retail cost: minimum of S$300++. Price I bought: S$265.

WOW.

Before I can finally start work on it, let me finish up the 2 MG Zetas in my home first. And I think the PG gonna take me time before displaying in its full glory.

Finally ended my 2 days of ambulance duty. Frankly, the people around my station area has become very less trigger happy with 995 these days. Hardly hit 4 calls for past 2 shifts. Good in the sense that finally a breather in a while. Been through those days with 6 calls per day and it was tiring despite no collapse cases. Ohh well, wait a couple of weeks more and 103 MOC passed out. Yeah, finally got juniors to use liao. . .

And dunno what's with my BT nowadays. Azureus detected udp port having too many failures. Received failed. Basketcase, I don't pay $80 per month just to get this shit when using BT. Got to check it out with BK whether is it modem or router fault. ZzZ. . .

Yosh! Finally did the long due maintenance for my blog here. Well, its freaking nearly a year since I last posted man. To reward the new visitors to my humble blog, I will sum up the events I had from the time I last posted till now.

July --> Started work as Buffalo promoter. Initial start was very rocky, but still kept the job. Went for medical for enlistment.

August --> Started promoter @ Southasia, Funan. Had bad times, but somehow the enviroment there suits me. Also, began to start my monthly habit of collecting anime magazines.

September --> Participated in my first IT show. Interesting 4 days, seen practically all sorts of people seeking cheapos at the show. Duh. Been working like mad as well. Weekdays spent @ Seoul Garden, weekends spent @ Funan. Money go where? Gundams, anime goods, magazines. And ohh yah, I spent S$200 on my Arsenal shirt that came from London. Wow.

October --> Got the dreaded 'green bomb' aka enlistment letter. Wow, it stated Jalan Bahar, not Tekong. Simply, I going SCDF, not SAF. Ohh well, began plans for enlistment. Spendings also skyhigh with the purchase of my new K800i phone. Finally a phone truly called mine. Ohh yah, my Japanese boss gave the whole team a 40gb Ministation each. Sweet.

November --> No thanks to my sister who blew up her phone bills. Parents had to settle hers instead of my broadband. No net for freaking nearly a month. Especially when I had already resigned from Seoul Garden. Spent time rushing through anime, only for weekends to work @ Funan. And finally completed the entry requirement for KKnM membership. What's the requirement? Simple. Spend $900. Yes, I did it within 4 months. Don't ask me how, but I still managed to get it. Sales are going up at my promoter side. Wasted I needa enlist. . .

December--> Last IT show before enlistment. Had my best sales @ Funan as well. Shelf was empty after 2 days. And topped all 4 days during the show. Closed an bill worth $3250 on Sunday. The biggest for us at that show. Back to reality. Enlistment. Thank God my intake had the most holidays, rainy days to start with, being in SCDF also means no 2 weeks confinement! Woo! Went to EOY cosplay event @ first bookout! Haha.

January--> Platoon had reshuffle after ERS and firefighter trainees got posted to CDA. Our of nothing, became bunk IC. Stupid crap. Anyway, just weeks to POP, heck and endure it.

Febuary--> Closing on POP + CNY. Got new furniture to house my 'babies'. After POP, posted to MOC. Medical Orderly Course.

March--> Training on MOC underway. Wanted instructor post. Tried to be as 'On' as possible. Had rough time with some trainees there, guess his thinking and mine clashes big time.

April--> MOC POP. Sad, posted to AMKFS. Tried to swap with another trainee, but in the end back to square one. Back to AMKFS.

May--> Had a torrid day on duty. Most busiest so far. Went home @ 9 plus in the night. An hour plus later than usual.

June--> Finally booked leave for SPLA camp. Had recall on second day, but overall still managed to chill for once. Chionging GE like siao as well. Caught Initial D as well.

Yup, thats what I can summed up so far. Nothing that very interesting, unless I go further details to the ambulance calls I attended. Well, comments, just post it up in the cbox there. Arigatou!

--~^kEn0601^~

Amazing, err, 1 month since last post? Well, lack of posting ain't gonna affect me. Basically, now its time to enjoy my freedom before enlisting. Went for checkup last week and got Pes B class. Very nice man, freak. Even my asthma history dont deter them from giving me a C or below. Time to prepare for rough 2 years. Meanwhile, as usual, work + SPLA life is the normal till they call me in. Now realized what I have been missing out all this while. Random aimless walk down Orchard, or the LMAO time after meals or during bus trips with SPLA people. Finally tasted Swesens'. Lolx, we got Kirk to gave us a treat after being held back for 2 hours a few weeks during Jasper's birthday bash. Anyway, even the first round of Topless 5 wasn't enough for us. We even ordered 2 Earthquakes after that. Midnight supper of Swesens' ice cream. Yeah. . .

Now weekends are spent on promoting Buffalo's line of networking products. Almost couldn't start work previous week back due to my shirt. Anyway, they gave a white polo FOC for me to wear during my 5 hours there, ohh well. Oh yah, S-C-R-E-W/ F-A-R-K Linksys products. They S-U-K and nothing but OVERPRICED pieces of plastic and circuits. Damned, seriously hated those fanwhores of Linksys, especially after subscribing Maxonline. So what they tell to buy Linksys? Can't you tell Starhub is in it with Linksys? Remember, if you visitors here intending to buy networking products like routers, please strike Linksys out of your shortlist. Pre-N and SRX are nothing but junk compared to Buffalo's High Power routers.

Well, I intended to leave my outlet for greener pastures, but the circumstances wouldn't allow, ohh well. Anyway, just gonna do my job and get my pay. No need to waste extra efforts on these retards. I wondered how the F*** they ever landed the job.

Hmm, my Zeta A1 finally got primed, but its only the beginning, well, need to get time good time off to do up the kit. What colour am I gonna paint it? Shh. Himitsu! Need to see my finances for the next few months before getting equipment for airbrushing. As for manga, well, IF I ever STOP playing games, well. Lolx. . .

Bored, bored and bored. Ohh well, either Winning Eleven or anime next. . .well then. . .

Back again, well, trying to reduce the gaps between post days. Its not that I dont wanna post, lolx, its been like long since I blogged daily. Oh well, anyway. . .

Had the SP Lifearts S.O.S 団 camp 2 weekends back. Woo, feels soooooo good to spend whole day having nothing but fun non-stop. I wondered when was the last time I had that. Thinking of getting the MCs to write up more proposals for overnight stays. . .hahaha, be it anime-marathon or whatever it is, just whack in the proposals. . .

Few weeks back, my working hours were like on the peak, but fast forward to my schedule now, its a fark-ed up. Working nights shift mostly, with the exception of a day of full shift where I took over buffet. Well, since I was given this fark-ed schedule, its my pleasure to return the honours. Anything not done by the afternoon shift, either I make hell of a noise out of it or I just leave it as it is and wait for trouble to happen, dump the blame on the afternoon shift. Period. Why my sudden outburst of heck it mind? Simple, since the new staff are so 'grown' in their job now, they 'know' what is needed, so, why the fark I need to go after every single one for their task? And anyway, I decided for a venture into greener pastures. Once I got confirmation, 2 weeks notice given out, and I am clear of that outlet for good. Oh, I just went under kitchen training. Hmm, trying to let me learn more or a ploy to keep me in, well, mind is set, chance comes in, gonna grab it hard with both hands and get out for good. . .

World Cup's here, hmm funny feeling, didn't get very hyped up this time, just take it as per normal, wonder is it the effects of slogging that numbed my passion for the things I like. . .

Anyway, stop here for now, gonna PSP before kickoff for Spain's game. . .

--~^ken0601. . .^~

Not sure how much text can I insert from PSP's web browser but I just post whatever I can.

Since I am working like a full-timer, my funds are constantly coming at monthly. Lolx that is why I can get a PSP! ! ! Though currently needa be tight before month end comes.

Anyway, so far my PSP experience has been enjoyable. Some of my friends are itching to get one as well! ! ! Think I stop here for now, I want my sleep! ! !

--~^kEn0601^~

Nice, 2 months plus without updates here. Guess gotta clean up the cyber cobwebs and dust accumulated while my absence here. Anyway, if ya guys wanna guess how am I doing now, well let me use some indirect ways to tell ya people. Needa be 'football-smart' here. Hahaha.

2 yellow cards = 1 red card. Referee is SP, offences are 'bad' tackles on maths. Get that? ? ?

Anyway, while my SPLA peeps are dozing in lectures and all that, I got myself stuck in outlet, churning out long hours, in fact, spent the last week clocking 52.5 hours worth of work. My colleague even joked, "Kenneth working full, full full and full, saving up for wedding ar?" My reaction was -____________________-. Duh, my pay, most of the time, feeding my 'anime stomach' which 'eats' well, anime merchandise. If ya guessing what did I bought well, errrrrr, pencil boards, mouse pads, t-shirts, cellphone straps, mugs. Of course my 'main course' would be my Gundam kits. Currently, I got 9 MG kits, 3 HG kits and 3 no grade kits. Of course all are in 1/100 scale. No more no less. My collection includes the Gundam team from ZZ Gundam, the different variations of Gundam X and some CE kits like Freedom and Justice. Now need some free time to finish up my Zeta C1, Zeta A1 and Freedom. Thinking of getting another Freedom which will be painted in SPLA colours of red, white and black.

Then recently, just got my own PSP set! ! ! Its white, stylish, cool and multipurpose! ! ! Why? ? ? Simple, PSP can play videos, music, games and surf the web! ! ! Muahaha. . .think that my Neeon maybe biting dust soon. . .arhh, continue the post from my PSP. . .

Updates. . .er well, 2nd week into my vacation, still usual stuff, work, work and work. . .so far, haven't been in much good of a mood for work, probably due to the introduction of a shift leader soon? ZzZ. . .hadn't had such a bad working week so far. . .well, lazy to change job, and how can I leave the place thats been part of me since December 03? ? ?

Out from work, next week, finally stepping back into campus for the enrolment week. Since I am in-charge for it, well, planning a highly attractive and unforgettable sight for the new students gonna be a good challenge. Always have this half-hearted attitude whenever I am organising events. The flopped 406 chalet, overnight session, ZzZ. . .but that have to and gotta go. . .no more half-A$$ jobs from me now. . .setting the record straight, and damned you devil, get out of my life for good. . .

Anyway, regarding the booth, doing for SP Lifearts. Yes, you got me, SP Lifearts, SP Astro janai. . .heh, took me 2 years to realise where my interest really lies and to me Gunpla, manga drawing, artbook collection are more easily to get attracted to than Milky Way now. . .Gomenasai, demo, I will be channelling my focus and energies into sharpening my drawing and Gunpla abilities. . .Hontoni gomenasai. . .

Why up at this hour, heh, Friday is now officially my cellgroup day and since Saturday is my service day, so I have 2 continous off days. . .well, it allows me to catch up with the stacks of anime lying in my cakebox, spent hours catching up with Shakugan no Shana last Friday, and earlier on, finished Gunparade March. . .Haha, simply love these action-packed with comedy out of shy reactions between the male and female leads. . .

Well, that's all for now, and readers take note, if your blog is having links to here, please change it to http://ken0601.blogspot.com
