Pulau Ubin Trip

===Pulau Ubin Trip===

Monday, 29 June 2009

Woke up at around 9:15am as I was going to meet Joe at the MRT station at around 11:10am. Played a little, then took a bath, prepared my things, and headed out. Reached the MRT station at around 11:10am. Where Joe was a little late, he reached at around 11:17am. We were heading to Ten Miles Junction to meet up with Daniel and Raygen, but before that, we are meeting Sean at South View. We were suppose to meet Daniel at around 12pm. But ended up meeting them at around 12:20pm. But it's okay I guess. We then met Suna and Chong. And we went to buy some ice, water, and extra food for the trip. After that we went to eat our lunch. Then we took a cab, two cab in fact. And we reached Changi Village, which is the place we are gonna take our 10-15 mins boat ride to Pulau Ubin. But before going up the boat, Daniel and Raygen went to buy some live prawns to be used as fishing baits.

We reached there somewhat around 2 or 3 pm. And then we went to rent some bicycles to ride while Daniel and Raygen begin fishing. Unfortunately, after renting the bikes. It started raining. We were able to make it half-way before we had to go back because of rain. When we reach back at our campsite, which was at the Jetty. Raygen told us to go and ride the bikes as it will be dark later and we won't be able to ride it. So we went to ride, but.... It rained, rather heavily in fact. So we were forced to retreat. We managed to reach our destination though. But it wasn't really that long a ride. Probably about 10 mins to reach our destination from the Jetty.

And so we were back at the Jetty, and it was raining rather heavily. So Chong and I took out our umbrellas. Suna took one to see Daniel and Raygen fishing. Then I took one too and shared with Chong. That's when Suna started saying things like "He's so sweet"... Well, she kinda implying that we are like gays or something. This lasted for a very long time... She kept saying on and on and on... (-_-)

Raygen and Daniel caught 2 fishes before dark or was it only Daniel who caught it? Anyways, Raygen then went to buy 2 packets of fried rice from the nearby kopitiam. Which we then ate those as dinner. But most-likely, just to keep us alive for supper. Because seriously, 7 people sharing 2 packets of fried rice is just not enough.

And so, Daniel and Raygen practically just kept fishing from the afternoon till night while we were just sitting around and fooling around. Sean on the other hand, kept taking photo. For example, everytime a fish is caught, he'll say "Wait! Take picture". lol

At the evening, before darkness falls. Daniel and Raygen wanted to look for some Durians. And so they went out with the bikes, Sean and Suna followed. How long was it before they came back? I didn't take note. Anyways, they came back with mud on their clothes and no Durian. Well, during the afternoon, everyone was taking the durians away. hehe, leaving them with nothing.

But during the night, some kind-hearted uncle gave us 2 durians. They all opened the first durian to taste it, all except me and Chong. And they also started to set up the BBQ pit where they roasted some Sweet Potatoes. Which again, Chong and I don't eat. lol

Then they also cooked some Prawns to eat, and this, only I didn't eat. After that, they started boiling water and cooked noodles because we were hungry. I took the first bowl as I haven't ate anything except the fried rice about 3 hours before the BBQ.

We then met an uncle sitting on the bench and they started talking about the durians and stuffs. They even talked about Wild Boar?! In the meantime, some flying bugs came to join us in the camp. They probably came because of the rain. They were big, they were about 2cm long. For the first few hours, like say 2-3 hours, we were afraid of them except some in our group. After that, they were just plain annoying... They would just smack right into my hair and cling on the clothes. And their numbers just kept increasing. Where the hell did they come from?!

Closing in to midnight, Sean, Joe, and Suna started playing cards. While Chong and I played PSP, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Chong played cheat and was able to stay there killing monsters were I just kept running away. lol

We played for a few Quests and got bored. The last Yian Kut Ku we killed was just bloody hell damned... It's HP is really high, and it kept flying away to heal...

After that we didn't play anymore. We just sat down and watch Daniel and Raygen fish or we ate somemore noodles. This lasted all the way till early morning at around 5am.

And seriously, there's too much bugs flying around!!! Everybody was just jumping around because they keep knocking into our heads.

And at around 6:30am, the light at the Jetty was turned off. And all the bugs went to the lamp outside. And then we all headed back in into the Jetty. Where there is now lesser of them. Oh right, I missed a funny part. During the night, Chong was collecting the bugs and putting them into an empty bottle we have. xD

We managed to collect over 15 maybe even over 20 bugs... It's just plain funny. Oh and, Suna never stopped saying about me and Chong. She's really idiotic... Acting like a secondary school kid. lol

And after a while, she sun rised. We couldn't see no sunrise though as the sun rised from behind the island. And then we packed our stuffs and waited for the boat to have more people then we can pay less. The price is 12 Passengers $30. So if there's 12 passengers, we'll pay $2.50 each. But we waited for quite some time and there wasn't anyone leaving. There are people coming to Pulau Ubin, but no one leaving. So in the end, we just took the boat so it's $30 split between 7 of us. The price would be $4+ for each of us but the driver was kind enough to just charge us $4 each. Which means $28 for 7 of us, so he makes a loss of $2.

Reaching back to Singapore, we went to drink some coffee and tea and wait for the Peak hour so taking Taxi would be cheaper. I think...

Daniel, Sean and Suna will be taking one taxi. Joe and I one. And Raygen and Chong one.

I reached home at around 10am I think, then I went to bathe as I haven't bathe the whole night. Now's 12:15pm, which means i've officially been awake for 27 hours. I'm feeling really tired now... I think I'll take a nap... zZZ

Today, I did not study at all!!!

Reached school, played PSP, ate lunch, and... Played more PSP. Till' around 2:30pm then we headed to catch a movie called "Transformers 2".

When we reached the Cinema. It was really packed. Even though it's around 3pm. Probably because now is the Holidays. We managed to get tickets for the 6pm show. But by then it was around 3:30pm. And since we still had time, we went to the Arcade and played some games.

First we tried "Battle Gear", which was really cool for me because there's a clutch. Of course, it's a little difficult to use. Forgetting to push the clutch down and all. Not pushing down the clutch will not allow the gear to change. You can change it back to Neutral but not a gear. Another obstacle I faced was to slot the gear into the right slot. Because the gear is like a real car's.

Something like this:

1 3 5
|_|_|
| | |
2 4 6

Which most of the time when I wanted to change from gear 2 to 3, I ended up with 5. hehe. But it was fun.

We also played Initial D Stage 5. Which was totally different from the PSP or the PS2 version. The graphics cool. But the steering's tough. And thus I wasn't able to play well. Which is kinda sad... lol

After the gaming, we went to eat our dinner. And after dinner we went straight to the movie. The movie lasted for 2 hours and 30 minutes. Which made my bottom hurt like hell... haha

After the movie we just headed home.

Oh right, there was a change of plans. I won't be going fishing tomorrow. There was a conflict in the timing and the date has been changed to Monday. Which kinda worries me because I haven't been studying the whole week. The only module I actually studied was EG2120. And going on this trip might make us have the Holiday mood again. Which we don't really have time... Going on Monday and coming back on Tuesday, which also means that we won't be studying for 2 days. We only makes us left with 3 days to study. (>.<)

But I hope everything will turn out fine...

******Life is Hard だから(and) Happy******

NEWS!!! H1N1 has strike NYP! And thus I'm having an extra week break!!! Yay!!!

Okay, maybe it isn't all good...

Anyways, I've been studying... a bit... :P
With my friends of course. I can't study alone. I just won't move if I'm on my own. Even with the help of my classmates. We couldn't really study. We just don't have to motivation to do it. It's really boring~

We would meet at around 12pm and then eat our lunch together. Then we would just keep chatting or playing PSP till' about 2pm then move to a spot to study, preferably the Macdonalds in school. We would then sit there and rest. hehe, cause we just ate our lunch and was feeling a little sluggish. xD

Monday, we played a lot. Just chatting and all. Cause it's the first day of study and no one's in the mood to study. But we "tried" studying till' around 5pm, which then I ate my dinner at mac. I know it's a little early. But I'm hungry. After eating we went to the stadium where 2 of my classmates went to jog/run. After that, my classmates went for dinner at "Aston" in AMK. Well, I already ate. So I just looked at them eat. But most of the time I'm staring into blank space because I was having a slight headache and feeling a little sleepy. lol
After dinner, they when to buy durians. And then we found out that 2 of our party members (Talking like i'm in a game xD) knew how to choose Durians. I have no clue about durians. I only ate them when I was a kid. Now... I don't eat them anymore. I don't find them smelly or revolting though. After that we just went home.

Oh, we talked about going to Pulau Ubin to fish too. 釣り！リーダが好きの事。
Well, after the common test of course. But now that we are gonna have another week to spend. We might go on this Friday!

I've never really liked going out much. But I sure wanna try spending my time better doing things other than playing games.

****** Life is Hard だけど(But) Happy ******

The first week of my Study Week have passed. But this first week is treated more like a holiday. Resting myself for the things to come. The real Study Week.

I think I'm feeling a little stressed out right now. And very tired too. heh

I'll talk about the recent things that happened.
I've downloaded a game called Gran Turismo 4 for PlayStation 2. It's a pretty good game to play, the graphics are pretty good for a PlayStation 2 game. It's a driving game. The good thing is, it's pretty realistic. However, I guess that's also the bad thing. It's difficult to play. Especially if you want to drift. To drift, you'll need to buy Suspensions and Customize it. Which is really difficult for me because I don't really understand what's to be done.

And, I watched a horror/suspense movie on Saturday called Drag Me to Hell. It's rather shocking. But Seriously... It's the bloodly hell loud noise that scares me. The sound's so loud that it makes the whole body's muscles tense up. The show's rather weird too. Disgusting at certain scenes. But I think some of the CGs used was rather poor. Or maybe they just wanted to make that a joke to calm people down for a scare. Who knows?

But I saw a trailer of another movie which should really scare people. I don't know the name of the show. But it somehow reminded me of a game I played, Condemned. The movie said it was base on a true story...

Muahahahahaha! *Cough* *Cough*

Ahem...

Andrew Phuah wanted to play back Conquer. I suppose... I don't really play much now... I play and stop, stop and play. xD

Anyways, we fooled around in my house in the game. Here's some Screenshots Andrew and I took.

Guy in Red Clothings : Me
Girl in Blue Clothings : My Wife
Guy in Strange Outfit : My Friend


Here's a picture of me kissing my Wife. ^^




And here's a picture of my friend fooling around while I'm kissing. xD






And last but not least...




My friend kissing my wife while I was away!



Don't worry, we are still good friends. We take care of each other. ;)

Today's the start of my 2 weeks Study Week/Holidays. I'll probably start studying for my Common Tests on the 2nd week. Right now, I still have a project on my hand. Cost Accounting, I have to calculate the Breakeven for a company. Even though I take down notes for the lessons. I don't really have a clue what I'm suppose to do. Because I only take notes, not listen.

Oh right, I saw my friend, Li Tian, yesterday during my break. Which was kinda cool. I didn't knew he studied here. And after that I saw Joshua. Well, I can see him every Thursday at around 12pm. Guess that's his break time which is the same as mine.

Oh and, I read up on problems wearing contact lenses and I found out something that might be the case of me feeling tired wearing contact lenses. Instead of my eyes being dry. It could in fact be that my eyes are not getting enough oxygen.

Anyways, since now I do not have anything to do. Maybe I'll try doing my Cost Accounting project.

So ciao~

The Common Tests are coming to get me!~ Ahhh!~

In just another 3 weeks, I'll fighting an epic war with the CTs. Okay, not exactly epic but it's not easy. Probably due to the fact that I do not listen to the lecturers and do my homework?? Okay... It's because of that.

But I believe I'll be able to get most of the information into my head before taking the Common Test. Maybe I'll trying burning my lecture notes and drink it with water.

Okay, I've been gaming recently. I've downloaded The Sims 3, which was really cool. But it does get boring after a while. My sim has gotten married and has a baby girl! It's a GIRL! xD

I've also been playing Initial D on my PSP challenging with my classmates in school.
I drive the AE86 Trueno GT-APEX and my best map, Akina Mountain（秋名）. My best timing is 3'11"577. I know it's not the best out there, I'm aiming to get a timing of 3'10"xxx and below. But it's really tough. But I'll keep trying.

Writing till' this part I kinda recalled that my parents used to tell me "If only you can put the effort you use in playing games into your studies". hehehe

Anyways, I'm wondering if you/anyone out there can actually play Diablo on PSP in Multiplayer. I have Diablo on PSP but it's the PSX version. So I was wondering if it's possible to play Multiplayer, that way I can play with my brother. My classmate said he played with his brother last time but he doesn't have the game anymore. He said something about "Hosting" and "Joining" which was not applicable for PSX version. So I have no idea what he played...

Ahh~ How can I play Diablo with Multiplayer on PSP?~

Oh and, Arashi has another new Single!~
And I think Aiba is aging... :x
