Real Run 09'

This run is especially difficult due to the terrain. it has a combination of off-road, road and beach and it was hell difficult to run on the beach with all the loose sand and incline offset. thou it is only like 10km it should have been a piece of cake but i haven been running for a long time.

Didnt set my pocket touch app before hand and wasnt able to use it. the app was set to skip track when i shake the iphone and while running it was constantly skipping track due to the bouncing movement. so i had to off it and endure listening to non-motivating music without the chance of skipping tracks when i want to with a flick of my finger. running was a bore!

I reached the finish line at approx 1hr 4min barely made it for the timing of the endurance run component of the Combat Skill Badge which i completed in 50mins. I'm getting lazy -> weaker as time pass. muscles are already non existent. no more buffy buffy look like the days in the army.

i came back 3rd to Danny who is 2nd and Galen who is 1st. Galen came back in 53mins good timing for a secondary school kid. and talk about secondary school, alot of kids were running in this marathon and hell they were fast.!! all this kids made it seems so effortless they dun have the "shag" look on the faces at all, at least not on those i saw..

Youth, had i lost it? I'm only 22 going 23. sounds old enough to me.

yay my uncle was behind me i guess. or maybe ahead of me. i really dont know. because we all got split up. and last was as usual my brother coming back at 1hr 16min.

We went to T3 which was nearby after the run, had lunch at kopitiam and when to the car boot sales which my sister was organising. and they have free Go-Kart rides for customers who spent more than $20 during the car boot sales. but frankly speaking, the G0-Karts were slow.. nothing compared to those in thailand. but its singapore what more could u expect, its always safety first huh? or strict regulation forbids this or that. get used to it.!

An accident caught on camera

my Go-Kart was too slow to even catch up. beepbeep!!

Had my torture and my fun today and i fell asleep after reaching home. so tired. and i feel terrible for not studying the whole day today. because someone obviously spoilt my mood and i ended up cleaning up all my stuff from the common area as they were cluttering up everywhere..

hell week

had a hell week last week and it arent going to end soon. so much to catch up in class. all because i have been too playful and now im suffering... so much to study and i realised i really missed out alot during lectures and not doing tutorials arent helping either. ha!

CA for math today was relatively easy to my surprise, and my answer should be correct as i compared it with my friends already. i didnt really study much for maths as i had only spent 2 days on it and i gave up later on because it was just too difficult. reason being my foundation isn't strong and time wasnt on my side, so i decided that there was no point in going on mugging. so i was lucky this time and got the full 20% score!

2 more papers to go, Digital Electronic which i am studying only today - relatively easy compared to the other paper Circuit Analysis which i spent my last 5 days last week trying to understand, seriously that module is a killer!

wednesday would be the end... of the first part, then i have to really pull up my socks and start running. wish me luck!

Go for Bottle-water Ban!

i support the australian ban of bottled-water because i believe that we could do without it in Singapore. our tap water are portable, which anyone can drink straight from the tap and it even have fluoride added which is good for our teeth. To those that feel that mineral water are pure and clean, they would be surprised to know that their favorite bottled-water aren't as pure as they thought. (go google it)

so lets stick to our reusable water bottles and tap water/water fountains to quench our thirst. get to know how much this bottled-water is affecting our earth, and start thinking green!

windows VISTA - not the best out there....

I am not very please with this windows VISTA. didnt want to install it in the first place because i heard it sucks and uses up alot of disk space(20GB). but because of the fact that i own an original copy of windows VISTA i decided to install it in my macbook's bootcamp.

the installation process was anal. and yes very ANAL!

it took an hour to format the partition to some format(cant remember) by the bootcamp. then it took another hour to reformat the partition to NTFS by windows. yes you read right, format was performed twice.. then it took another hour to install windows VISTA.

So i thought yes finally i have windows VISTA on i can finally watch my video lectures online. But i cant use it for internet yet until i patch it up with all the latest updates and an anti-virus program (in this case it was KASPERSKY but installation was a breeze so im not going to whine about it) The patching up of new updates took me a whole day to perform.. seriously is this windows VISTA so full of LOOP HOLES that it needs so much of UPDATES?! I should have just stick to my windows XP(original) instead.

At the end of the day when everything was done, i am more relief than pist at this OS. I open up "my computer" to check out how much disk space i have to spare but to my horror >>>>> 1+GB left!

OMGGGG it actually took up 30+GB on a fresh installation of windows VISTA! i calculated and allocated 32GB for my window partition was based on my old laptop with 50+GB HDD and i have pretty much alot of stuff installed on it and i still have like 20+GB left(no data, all my data are on my external HDD). so i thought im not going to do leave much data on this partition so lets go with 32GB and it should be more than enough...

1+GB left. how much can i do with 1+GB. i am not going to spend another whole day to redo this tedious pain staking process all over again. now i have to bare with it, bite the bullet, and put away 32GB of my HDD just to watch VIDEO LECTURE on NTU edventure which was supposely suppose to support MACINTOSH.!!!

ANAL....

my neighbourhood is safe!

yes once again i was asked for my IC under my block while starting my motorcycle. that is the second time already. and i told the 3 men in blue "this is the second time i'm screened while starting my bike.... " then the men in blue replied back "you would had wished that we did the same to someone else who is starting your bike right?" and for a moment it kinda made sense to me... it is true, i wouldnt want no one else to be touching my bike and if they are, the men in blues better be there to screen his ID!!

now i feel safe but still abit cheesed off because it is quite annoying to be screened when u are an innocent civilian huh?

MACBOOK PRO 15"

as u can see, according to the DHL Tracking system, the mac should be on the way here already from SHANGHAI CHINA, probably on the plane or sth like that.

ya you wouldn't have guess, when u order online through the apple store, they actually shipped in from the factory in CHINA. i've already recieved the iPod Touch 8GB thou it didnt came from the same part of china, Suzhou, China. so now lets wait for the macbook. it takes hell long time to ship and after the saga i have with apple store my patience is running out. COMON' ship faster already!!

OS X SNOW LEOPARD

I've also ordered the new OS X Snow Leopard for my macbook which cost S$18 and according to apple, they are only charging the shipping and handling fee. i dun see why a small package like this would cost S$18 to ship. they didn't specify where it got shipped from so i could not justify the shipping price. i got 2 of those CDs one for me and other for my cousin and they shipped tgt. i paid twice the shipping fee when they both come together in the same package and why is that so? am i being ripped off? anyway the origianl price for the OS X Snow Leopard is S$48 with the box for one user on the apple store.

This is the singular shipment. Probably was local because there is no label stating its origin.

When opened, you see 02x OS X Snow Leopard package in it.

At the bottom of the bar code it states:

"Design by Apple in California"
"Made in Singapore"
-hmmmm....

The package contains these 2 items, the OS X Leopard Upgrade CD and a booklet about OS X Snow Leopard. No CD Key provided means that this probably could be used on multiple Macs - yet to be tested.

my rusty 2-wheeled

the DIY fire is burning in me once again as i have the time to waste now.
was meddling with rusty today, trying to convert more bulbs to LEDs and also add on some nice nice bling bling LEDs to her - yea u may think it is ah beng but it is a fun project. to me it is about doing the hands on myself and getting the satisfaction out of it rather than paying someone else to do it.

got most of my electronic stuff together except a few others.

i still cannot convert my signal indicators to LEDs but at least there was progress - i managed to get them blinking (common problem of LEDs conversion is that the stock relay is not able to draw enough current due to the LEDs nature of low current consumption therefor assumes that there is a outage, blow out bulb, and and indicates this by not flashing). i couldn't replace the blow out LEDs in my long ago converted brake indicator due to a faulty solder "sucker" rawr. and also was lacking the correct size hex key so i was unable to remove the fairing to replace a new set of LED brake indicator which i have in hand already. so what had i done, added a bling bling green LEDs to the front wheel.

..then shit happened as i was about to finish connection of the green LEDs. i left the live connection dangling and it touched rusty frame which was grounded and sparks came out - this resulted in a short circuit. then there was total power lost. no lights nothing... i thought my battery was a goner. but lucky rusty is a kick starter bike so i could still start it and ride it. the headlamps and brake lights could still function but less the signals and horn which were dead. i thought i had either flattened or killed the battery. so i keep riding it around hoping the the alternator could charge back up the battery to prove that it is still alive but it still flat-lined. without starting the engine, no electrical stuff worked..

so i went online googled read all about vehicle/motorcycle batteries, how to charge it and problems with batteries and all. till i stumble onto this page which talks about the fuse. it started to hit me, after 2 years in the army i had forgotten all about the basic of electrical troubleshooting. start from the source to the fuse to the load and then the grounding. then i ran down to the bike again, took out the fuse and inspected it - indeed it has blown and then i got the reserve fuse on, crossed my fingers and on the electrical switch. all lights were back on without the engine running.!!

finally after so much speculation the problem has been solved and it was none of the speculated problems. plans to send rusty for battery charging/replacement tomorrow morning can be scraped.

long live rusty!!

more conversion to come =)
