Nintendo Wii

It's Here (The Partially Official One)







OMG.. can't believe I got that thing in the middle of the exams (well, the salesperson called me that I could collect it today, so I just collect it).

Anyway, since I haven't bought the Wi-fi connector (to connect to the internet), so I won't be setting up the console so soon (so still cannot play yet). Most likely the earliest I'll set up is after I finish my 2nd last paper (so please do not ask me how is it at this moment, also need to check whether the console is working as well).

According to some sources, this is actually more of a parallel import from US from an official distributor in Singapore, just that they packed in the official 220V adaptor inside the box. Well, so it's more like an official parallel import (the more official one, which is the Asian sets, will be released on October 2007). However, shops like Best Denki are selling that as well, which leads me to wonder if the distributor are going to sell the US or the Asian sets instead...

April's Fool Day!!!

April's Fool
Today is April's Fool. Usually, I don't really like April's Fool, because I'm always that unfortunate one that always get tricked by people (yup, and I don't do April's Fool jokes on others, that's the problem). Well, as this April's Fool falls on the Sunday, this means that I won't be meeting any of those pranksters in school and get tricked or fall onto their trap. Good thing for me...

The Steamboat
Yesterday, the 11 people (including me) turn up for the steamboat dinner at Marina Bay. Initially, I was told by the organiser (Hong Joo) that only 7 people (including the organiser himself, Weibin and me) will turn up for the dinner, but didn't expect much more to turn up (well, there are 2 people who said that they are coming, but were not free in the last minute). Anyway, I never had steamboat for a very long time, so when he told me that he will be organising the dinner at Marina Bay for steamboat, I agreed with him straight away.

Ate a lot of things for the steamboat, especially the cooked food (well, I really like eating the cooked food there). Anyway, we kind of cook the food with a mess, think there were a lot of food being burnt by the grill, and we put too much items into the boiling brooth that the brooth start to overspill... Never mind, that's what steamboat is to be. Anyway, I ate so much for the steamboat, that I didn't have that appetite to have my breakfast and lunch today (no worries, I can survive without breakfast and lunch).

Qing Ming Festival
Just today, I went to Lim Chu Kang cemetery to pay respect to my great-grandmother with my family and relaives. As per normal, we would pray to my great-grandmother, and burn incense paper to her. Well, she passed away before I was born, so even though I don't have any memories of her, I still pay respect to her, because she had to overcome all the difficulties in the past to bring up our family. Good thing the sky is clear while we are paying respect, so we do have much problems getting to the grave, paying respect and burning incense sticks and paper.

Anyway, on the way back, we had problems leaving the cemetery as there are too many cars exiting the cemetery at the same time. Yup, my father had to do a "3-point turn" at the narrow path with drains on both side (so it's more than a 3-point turn) a few times to change directions due to the heavy traffic. Hmm... If I'm the one driving, think the car would have dropped into the drain... Can't imagine what would happen if that really happened... Anyway, we took more than 30 minutes just to leave the place.
