NS Call Up?

I received a MINDEF notification for a call up yesterday.

Usually, such events are associated with shock, cursing and sadness on the part of the receiver. Mine was more than that.

Part of me thought it was a very very bad joke.

Reason? The date of the ICT was 12/10/2010 to 29/10/2010.
For those of you who are wondering what's wrong with that date, take a second look at the month of the call up.

Like hello? It has been repeatedly clarified to us that those who are headed off to institutes of higher learning(IHL), which is practically the entire RJC cohort, will either be deferred(overseas cases) or be called up during a common black-out window(local cases). That above date hardly complied with that.

It can only mean 1 thing. Someone somewhere screwed something up. And the administration failed to pick it up.

Now half of me feels like posting my NS call up email on failblog and then write in to the straits times demanding an explanation. Usually, i can take things pretty calmly. But with the burden on an unlimited workload, seeing such a mess up is pushing me to the verge of explosion. And if i require a deferment, i actually have to send a copy of my uni acceptance letter, a copy of my course time table, as well as a copy of my exam time table. Of which i have none cause i've missed all my uni briefings so far due to work commitments.

How much trouble is it going to cause me to procure all that? Surely much less than a simple write-up to the straits times. Well, SAF better pray they clear this mess up soon, not just for me, but for 10 of my platoon mates as well, or risk a serious blow-up.

Great 6N swop?

Ok i'm somewhat inspired by this great idea of an event that recently took places in the RI staffroom. To those of you wondering what i'm doing in RI staffroom, you're way behind time, do something about it.

Ok back to the event. This event was called the great RI swop. and to spare myself from having to describe it, i've attached the email that i received instead.

----
Dear teachers,

The SWC is proud to present the Great RI Swop!

Day: Term 1 Week 10, Friday, 12 March 2010.
Time: 10am - 3pm
Venue: Staffroom 3 Meeting Room

What EXACTLY??

Staff are to bring item(s) for swopping with others. The idea is that you get rid of things you DON'T WANT and bring home things that you WANT, and they may even be NEW! For FREE! How great is that??? And how environmental!!

Rules:

1. Bring only items that you do not want anymore and are in good condition. You can bring used CDs, DVDs, books, children's clothes, toys, baby items, UNUSED toiletry items like SHAMPOO, HANDWASH (think Christmas gifts that you just had no use for), photo frames etc etc.

2. If you bring ONE item, you may pick ANY ONE item to bring home with you. If you bring TWO items, you may pick ANY TWO!


FAQs:

Q1. What are some things I can't bring for the Great RI Swop?
Ans: No unethical and/or human-trading is allowed, i.e., you cannot swop marking/timetables/classes, or attempt to swop children, spouses, parents etc. Oh, pets also not allowed! On a more serious note, things for swop should be safe, hygienic and non-personal, which means no expired toiletries/items and no undergarments please.

Q2. Do we all have to be at the venue at the same time to do the swop?
Ans: No. Come in to the SR3 Meeting Room any time between 10am - 3pm and you may pick your item(s).

Q3. If no one wants the item(s) I brought, can I still pick item(s) to take away?
Ans: Of course you can!

Q4. What will you do with the leftover items that no one wants?
Ans: If you want to take home the item(s) that you brought, you may do so, but do indicate your wish to us. Otherwise SWC will donate the unwanted items to the Salvation Army.

Q5. Can I bring my item(s) in earlier than 12 March 2010?
Ans: Yes you can. In fact you are encouraged to do so, so that we can get some simple admin work done prior to the fantastic event! Just pass the item(s) to your Staffroom SWC representative! Please do so only from Week 10 Monday though!

Q6. Can I bring my item(s) only on the day of the Swop?
Ans: Yes you can!

Q7. I brought 3 items but I only found 2 other items that I really want. Is that okay? Do I HAVE TO find exactly 3 items to bring back?
Ans: No you don't have to. As long as the number of items you pick to bring home is less than or equal to the number that you brought.


Here's looking forward to a great swap swop day! :)


Warmest regards,
Your SWC

ok as you guys can see, it's quite an interesting idea. and it turned out very well in RI. so i'm wondering, should we, as a class, have something like that too?

ok a few points about it.
1. i suspect part of the reason why it turned out well was because of the large number of staff, which is definitely bigger than our class.
2. another part is that some teachers brought like 46 items and took none, thus starting a huge pile of junk for others to happily grab.
3. logistics could be a problem with the remaining junk(which in RI's case was donated to salvation army). Donating makes us feel good, but bringing it to the donation point could be a problem.

yup that's all. just something to get you guys interested. If it is to happen, we need a class gathering/chalet/whatever, preferably around may to august when the overseas ppl might be back.

Prince of persia

Ok this entire post is going to be my thoughts on prince of persia, game, movie and whatever. Those not interested, just stop reading at the post above, since the post below is rard's post on POP too.

firstly, the game. to be exact, the original trilogy of sands of time, warrior within and two thrones(i'll deal with forgotten sands later). Well, prince of persia is essentially an action-cum-puzzle game. action from the fighting, puzzle from thinking of weird ways from getting from point A to point B. Weird because normal people would never be able to achieve those feats. for example, running horizontally on a wall for a distance, then jumping off before you fall off onto another wall, jump back and forth between the 2 walls to get up. impossible, it may look, but it is precisely these acrobatics that make prince of persia unique. Prince of persia would not be prince of persia if the acrobatics were removed(remember this point).

However, i would not qualify a game as action just because of some fighting time you get. What an action game should do is get your heart pumping like crazy and your adrenaline flowing. Which prince of persia: warrior within does to perfection. It introduces this unstoppable(for most of the game anyway) beast called the dahaka who relentlessly chases the prince to infinity and beyond. ok no, it can't get past water, but water isn't something that is everywhere, so what results is a crazy heart-pounding, adrenaline-rushing chase whereby everything has to be done to near perfection without the luxury of time. This is what i call action(frustration as well, but that's another point), and warrior within would therefore qualify as a really good action game.

However, i doubt the same can be said for the other 2. In sands of time, the dahaka isn't after the prince yet, and in the 2 thrones, the dahaka is gone(and would have no reason to be around either). That said, i've never played those 2 before and cannot comment further(in case there's some dahaka-like thingy).

And speaking of dahaka chases, some of them can get ridiculously long. gerard you know there's some special weapon, which i accidentally found but couldn't spare the time to pick up, in the middle of the longest dahaka chase i've come across so far? the ones when you first defeat kaileena and then u have to escape the dahaka 4 times. 4 f***ing times with no sand replenishment. and the 3rd/4th one, after you've pulled out the 1st stone tablet, is ridiculously long. and there's this white colour weapon that looks like a glove in the middle of it. Crazy. Are there any longer chases than that? I don't think my heart or mind can take a longer chase.

On to the movie. 'Prince of Persia: the sand of time' will be released on the 27th of may, starring jake gyllenhaal and the pretty gemma arterton =). I'm looking forward to it, despite the storyline having nothing to do with the game at all. There are, however, a few potential pitfalls which i hope the movie will avoid.

1. The acrobatics must be there(refer to above mentioned point), else this movie should just be called sands of time. More specifically, the WALL RUN must be there. It's so unique and cool.
2. The ability to control time(if it is featured) must not be messed up. Time travel and control is a very intricate and delicate issue that is very hard to pull off well. (eg if in the future, you're gonna go back into the past to do something, then the something should be happening now)

Let's hope the movie does well.

And lastly, the game. 'Prince of persia: the forgotten sands' need no further intro(if you've watched the trailer rard posted). I have only 3 comments on it.

1. the prince looks very different from all the 3 versions in the sands of time trilogy. In fact, it looks like jake gyllenhaal. It makes me suspect that they're gonna use the movie to drive up publicity for the game, having similar release dates and all, hence the lookalike. Casual players like me wouldn't mind it, but i can hear the murmurs and criticism from the hardcore fans already, that their beloved prince is being changed. If the hardcore fans refuse to support this, this game could fare badly.

2. the game says it's going back to the time between sands off time and warrior within. meaning the prince has released the sands already, but hasn't been punished yet. so will the dahaka make a comeback? I hope so! What a great game it would be!(but no crazy chase sequences please)

3. the trailer shows the prince freezing water to do more imba acrobatics. like wow! now he can freeze water? Is that a stop time skill or a new skill entirely? I sense puzzles getting so much tougher, like when you think there's no way across then u realise u can freeze the water and run along it. crazy.

Ok so i've come to the end of a really long post. feel free to add further comments on this really wonderful game(and hopefully, movie).

Okay I just realized from my membership points that I've spent about a thousand dollars on Challenger over the past 2 years. I must be their favourite customer man. Hm i feel abit stunned that i spent so much, but ah heck -- earn money don't spent then earn for what.

So, the next game i'm awaiting is Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands. I'm glad they're finally going back to the storyline of the Sands of Time trilogy. The last one that was just released a year back totally sucked in terms of gameplay. But i loved the ending. Anyway the prince of persia is as imba as a slark with 6x eaglehorns. His acrobatics and fighting moves are quite leet, and the scenery of the environment is quite awesome also. Can't wait for its release.

See here for my review on Warrior Within -- the 2nd game of the series.

I was looking through the posts from a while back and chanced across something gerard wrote. So i decided i'd write something from my perspective.

List of games which I have impulsively bought over the last 2 years and never got down to finish playing:
Zero.

Shit I have no life. (\end sarcasm)
(But actually I really don't)

Personality Type #7

You're an insecure person. You hate uncertainty, especially the uncertainty you face where no one is really sure of their duties and boundaries, and you end up having to play aardwolf at work.

You miss a clearly defined rank structure, where someone much higher than you usually doesn't *********. You miss a competent boss who can discipline you when you screw up, it is a sign of your submissiveness and a possible hint of sado-masochist tendencies.It is clear that you need a dominant woman in your life. (I know Jameson definitely doesn't miss the boss bit about army).

You fear to tread where no man has stepped before, and you find security in rules, routine, regulations and regular results i.e. not risk taker. You feel uncomfortable without a sense of direction or a guiding compass. You feel that SOPs have to be well-oiled, regulations kept up to date, or the world will come to an end in the hands of incompetents.

You probably distrust your own abilities and judgement calls, a probable sign of low self-esteem. This may have resulted from being unable to cope with problems when you screw up, as there was no SOP. As a result, you deride those you deem inferior to you, such as a boss who cannot give clear instructions or discipline their underlings when they play aardwolf during office hours. Also, you prefer to play carry heroes in DotA which usually own without too much difficulty, hence -random agi. In a way, it is a method of self-preservation, and prevents your self-esteem from hitting an all-time low.However, this should be largely mitigated when *************.

Missing army, there is also a possibility that you miss the comfort that an almost all-male organisation provides you, and hate the uncertainty and dangerous grounds posed by frequently unpredictable females.

What you need:
Work:Sign on, or work within an MNC where there are well-established rules and SOP, where everyday passes without a hitch, and every emergency is attended to, if not efficiently, but surely swiftly and with certainty.That, or work in SMEs where you have good connections and the opportunities to rise up very fast. Once you are at the top, you will certainly be free to establish a set of well-oiled SOP, controls, and balances. You will be entitledto be a control freak, if you ever were one as dyS3. Oh, and you'll be free to play as much aardwolf as you like in the office.

Life:If you feel yourself to be completely without direction in life, and feel totally hopeless when you screw up, you can immerse yourself totally in religious fervour, which is not without precedent in our class.Alternatively, you can get yourself a dominant lady.

PS I'm sorry rard this is nowhere as near as Barnum's statements but at least it's personalised. Really.
PPS To others who read this, ***** parts are those which I have deleted on rard's request.

army

As strange as this may sound, I find myself missing army. To be more specific, I miss the organization of army. I miss the system well set in place where everyone knows their duties and boundaries. I miss a clearly defined ranking structure. I miss a competent boss that can give me clear instructions and discipline me when I screw up. I miss having upper-studies whom you can turn to for advice. I miss a well-oiled SOP to follow, with in-built checks and balances to correct you when you make a mistake.

Maybe i should quit and go join an MNC or something.

(So sc what do u think this says about my personality?)

lalala

ok i haven't taken much of a look at this yet. cuz i wanna sleep. today whole day outside damn tired le. but note the presence of 'ity' and 'ing' so 1 glance will give me 'webbing' or 'cabbing'. will think more tmr.

how about this

ok now that the previous guy has gone down in 2 hits(aerobatic and then jeoparded, imba duh), i'm left with this. too much vowels. long words abit tough. i see 'belongs', which is crap.

more

Ok this one really needs help in terms of long words. The letters don't look bad, so i'm sure there's one somewhere. but i just can't get it. aerospace needs 's', projectile needs 'L', and objective needs 'v'. so i have nothing unless u count 'project' as long. Anything cool u can see in there, sc?

one word search per day

hmm. after a few rounds myself, it's time to post an easy puzzle. It is precisely the ease of word forming that these letters offer that you can form long words. 'fraudulent' is missing an 'L'. so best i can see is 'radiance'. any better ones, sc?

more word searches

well it's not everyday that letters are nice. and this is one of them. not so bad yet though, i've had letters where i could only spell 5 letter words. I can still see 'wearily' from this. 7 letters. any better ones sc?

sc can advise?

since sc was so astonishing with his word search, y not help me again! i need an imba word, especially now that imba words give rewards. If your word is powerful(long), you'll get a gem tile(hence all the colours u see there). They give damage boost and add effects. The green one(emerald) heals and does 20% bonus damage, the purple(amethyst) poisons and deals 15% bonus damage, the blue(sapphire) freezes and gives 25% bonus damage, the orange(garnet) weakens and gives 30% bonus damage, while the white one is the imba one. diamond tile. fully heals, gives 1 of every potion, and gives 100% damage boost. I got this from the word citizenry, which now resides in my hall of fame. The other tiles are gotten from weaker words.

so help me get a good word! go for length first. that's the first priority. if u can, put the 'y' in. that's second. third is if u cannot get a really long one, go for either words that are metals or colours. they do bonus damage this round. 'white' is around but is a little short. yellowish is short of 1 L, and stealthily is short of 1 L too. wittily feels very wasted. any good words? use up any of the gem tiles if u have to. try to go for 9 letters and above. uneasily is there wif 8. so is alienist.

and feel free to help too, every other reader!

CNY

Hi everyone!

Wishing you all a happy and prosperous CNY in the year of the tiger! All the best in your endeavours, and for those flying off for studies this year, enjoy your last CNY for a long time :)

It is done

Armed with my old arsenal of tactics, the lvl 7 comp has fallen. yay.



For snivelling critics who think it's a fluke, i let the comp have a rematch.



Tough it may be, but it can be done. wooh.
For those wondering where the 2 draws went to, i'm wondering about the same thing. I'm still very proud of those draws, and i hope they haven't been deleted. I fought very hard for those draws, cuz the comp outplayed me for long periods. oh well. nvm. win is still better.

Girls

Well, sc wanted a post to somehow correct his inet problem. so here it is.

The title is simple enough, and it is one that strikes nearer home than most of us care to admit. but that doesn't mean they don't exist. In fact, they're all over the place. so much that apart from lz and jameson, rard and kel and even sc is discussing about them while i'm still totally clueless. Care to fill me in?

Ok on with the discussion. Every girl, just like every other human being, is unique. There can therefore be no classification for them. How then, can people still classify them? By our own criteria.and when you classify something according to a criteria, you have to first define your criteria, considering everybody has a different set. So something like "I think that girl is damn chio" is ambiguous. Why? Where? How? all these questions remain to be answered.

aiya i feel like sleeping le. it's 11.30pm alrdy.i shall abruptly end this little intellectual discussion. Feel free to continue it if u want to. and i hope this solves ur problem sc.

BBC sitcom

I just spent the past hour watching this bbc sitcom series called Coupling on youtube, and it's quite amusing haha. Thought i'd share it on uber cos i dunno how long my motivation to post here will continue..

Hello, all.


*waits for gasps of astonishment to subside*


Okay, for reasons unbeknownst to me, YS' prev post inspired me to write a similar entry as well. Rest assured I will not bore you out engage you intellectually in the intricacies of chess strategy. I shall instead talk about a new game, well not so much new as an old game I used to play in the past, that I am currently occupied with. 


As some of you may already know, my current job in Eunos leaves me a lot of spare time throughout the day due to the coughefficiencycough in which I accomplish my tasks. Having nothing else to do, I decided to re-visit this online mmorpg that i used to play in P5. That's like, 10 years ago. Surprisingly, my game-friends who used to play with me in sec sch are STILL playing the game.. So I started chatting with them, and one thing led to another, which ended up in me creating a new character in that game.


Aardwolf is a text-based MUD (multi-user dungeon) that looks similiar to that of a DOS interface. It's entirely text-based, like for eg. if u wanted to move, u would type "north" or "down", and if u wanted to kill someone u would type "kill ". This is how a typical game situation may look like.

Among the Philosophes (G)

To the south of the Grand Plaza is a magnificent Stoa built entirely of
white marble.  A series of steps lead into the body proper of the building,
which is encircled by peristyle ionic columns and decorated in the ionic
style.  The greatest minds of all Andolor congregate here to debate matters
of philosophy, or just to think great thoughts in the same corridors where
thinkers past have done so.  The most sought-out magister of them all is
Questor, who dispenses worldly knowledge and experience by giving
assignments to those who ask.  Those who yearn for knowledge and
understanding flock to the Stoa, and they are never disappointed.  Any time
of day or night, conversations can be heard on subjects as lofty as the
meaning of life and the nature of death and the hereafter.

So this is what I have been spending my time at work on..."super newbie-ing", or in other words staying at level 1 and continue doing quests to accumulate quest points. Since quests can only be done once every 30mins, it complements my work well as i can do work and while waiting 30mins for my next quest. Sometimes you may even see me afk in dota for a short while, as I go do my quest while waiting for hero to respawn. Hehheh.

Anyway, despite the lack of a graphic interface, I have been hooked on this game ever since I started it again 5 days ago. Even between the 30mins waiting for quest, I wander around exploring and chat to my friends on the game. I fear my colleagues or worse, my boss will find out sooner or later =\

If any of you are wondering, you don't need to install anything to play this game. Any computer with an internet connection can start playing. Start --> run --> telnet --> type "open aardmud.org 4010" --> create new character. It's that easy.

Okay, enough about my obsessing. YS' list of games inspires me to pen down my list of games as well. If any of you want to borrow, pls tell me so this game doesn't get wasted.

################################

Okay shid, after compiling this list I realize that I freaking spent A LOT of money on games that I don't play. I feel super guilty now...all you guys interested in any of the above plz let me know so that my shelf doesn't look so full of games.

Final note: I find the following sentence rather ironic -- "despite hardly having any games, I've always had good games to entertain me" -- eh isnt that like self-contradictory? Ok anyway, YS send me the bookworm game! Another game to add to my list of half-played games :)

500

This is the 500th post on this blog! wooh. and what better way to celebrate it than to post nonsense! so here goes.

Ok actually all this isn't nonsense. at least to me. but i suspect it's gonna be a whole load of rubbish to most of you.

Anyway, i found a new nice game! Somehow, despite hardly having any games, i've always had good games to entertain me. So while i can be envious of the amount of games other people have, i have nothing to complain about when it comes to nice games. Over the years, i've had
1. Journey to the West (this was a DOS game, impossible for you to find ever again)
2. Recoil
3. Heroes of Might ad Magic III
4. Diablo II: Lord of Destruction
5. Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
6. Caesar 2
7. Unreal Tournament 2003 and 2004
8. Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
9. Left 4 Dead
10.Plants vs Zombies
11.Chess Titans

and now... ...
12.Bookworm Adventures Deluxe!



Ok i know it looks kiddy. But it's fun! It's free! and it's only about 22mb in size! and best of all, it improves your english!!! What more can you ask from a game? Basically you spell words using the tiles provided. the longer the word, the more the damage! Then you can gain experience and collect items and potions along the way to completing your quest. wooh. Try finding as long a word as possible from the above picture! I managed to get quite a long word and hit the boss hard, eventually winning without using potions. but do try finding! so i can see if i missed out on some imba word.

Next up, we have a commentary on game number 11! Chess titans! Since level 7 comp was really tough and i haven't had practice in a long time, i decided to train against level 5. and after 11 games, i think i'm finally ready to take on level 7 again. My arsenal of tactics are coming back =)

Game 5: positional tactics



I was slowly plodding along trying to improve my position. to no avail. but note that it somehow managed to produce a stalemate where neither side has captured anything after dunno how many moves. insane tension.

Game 10: much better positional tactics



The opening was sicilian. and while black attempted to undermine my strong pawn chain, i manage to chance upon the strategy of attacking him on the kingside while his forces were positioned on the queenside. It was devastating. He had to sacrifice pieces against my pawn wall just to gain mobility to mobilise his forces to the kingside. which was still not enough.

Game 11: Blitzkrieg

This game was amazingly fast and was even more morale boosting than the previous game. and i could see the use of most of the moves. yay.
Chess notations: K - king, Q - queen, N - knight, B - bishop, R - rook, x - capture, + - check, # - checkmate, 0-0 - kingside castling, 0-0-0 - queenside castling, ! - good move, ? - bad move, !? - interesting move,
?! - dubious move, !! - excellent move, ?? - blunder

1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Nf6
3. Nf3
I offered black an important central pawn in a gambit to develop my forces quickly.
3. ... Nxe4
Black accepts the gambit.
4. Nc3 Nxc3
5. dxc3 e4?!
Black pushes his pawn out of harm's way further down the board, threatening my knight. However, his forces are not developed enough and he should instead have supported his e5 pawn with f6, preventing my scalding attack.
6. Ng5!
I now have a fierce attack on the f7 square, and this threat is hard to cope with.
6. ... f5
Black pushes his f pawn out of harm's way, supporting the e4 pawn at the same time. but it still doesn't solve the problem on f7.
7. Nf7
My knight moves in to fork the queen and rook.

Moving his queen away from the intended trap.
11.Bg5 Qb6
The black queen threatens the now unguarded b2 pawn, but the removal of the queen from the d8-h4 diagonal, coupled with the occupation of it by my bishop, has trapped the black king.
12.Ne5
There's no need to guard the b2 pawn as i now threaten Bf7# checkmate.
12. ... Bd6

14.Qf7# 9-2

14 moves. how fast is that. and notice how my 2 bishops and knight is swarming all over black's area while his forces are still at their starting positions. damn nice game. I didn't even need to capture a single pawn. time for level 7.
