NUS Results
Well, it's out. I'll post here, but only after I file for graduation and when I get my academic transcript (yup, which is about another 3 years time, IF nothing goes wrong). If you want to know, you may ask me, but I may or may not tell you. :P

Anyway, this is what I can tell you.

Having Fun

The "Tales of Symphonia" Madness
Recently I've been playing Tales of Symphonia for almost the whole day. Yup, now I playing it the 2nd time, this time with the replay bonus (using 2x EXP :P) and using the Wii to play instead. I wonder if my console is able to take it when I'm playing Gamecube games on Wii for prolonged period, but never mind. Anyway, if I'm not going out, then I'll most likely be at home playing Tales of Symphonia, or maybe any other Wii games I have currently.

Going Out
In between the period that is from the time I finished my last paper till now, I've been going out quite often with my friends.

02 May - Went to Bugis Junction to eat steamboat and to watch Spiderman 3
07 May - Went to Plaza Singapura and watch Spiderman 3 again
08 May - Went to Crystal Jade to celebrate Stanley's birthday
12 May - Went to East Coast Park to cycle
15 May - Went to Ngee Ann City to shop
18 May - Went to Sakae Sushi at Heeren to celebrate HJ birthday with BRC

Think I must have spent a lot of money already. Hmm... Look like I need to save... So that I can by more Wii games :P Hehe... (But seriously my Wii game collections really need to increase).

Something from the OSA

NUS Sports Jacket
Just right before my last paper, I received an e-mail from the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), saying that I won an NUS sports jacket for doing the OSA survey. Hehe, kind of unexpecting, since I didn't really think of the prizes while doing the survey. Anyway, here is the picture of the sports jacket. It is a normal black jacket with an NUS logo embroidered at the front-left side of the jacket, and also the words "National University of Singapore" embroidered at the back of the jacket. Not bad, now at least I'm not afraid of the cold if the lecture theatre or the sports/exam hall becomes too cold.



"Spiderman 3" and "Wild Hogs"
Yup, I've watched the movie 2 times. The first time is with some of the Back-row Clan people (Gavin, Hong Joo, Kavan, Kian Heng and me) last wednesday at SB Bugis, right after our last paper (which is EG1413 - Critical Thinking and Writing), and the second time is with some of the signallers (Chit Chin, Kai Quan, Wen Hao and me) just yesterday at GV Plaza. Yup, the movie is good, that I actually don't mind watching 2 times. So, in other words, those who haven't watch Spiderman 3 should catch the movie now. :P

Just last sunday, I caught another movie "Wild Hogs" with Wei Qiang. Well, the movie is not bad, it is quite funny. Not a bad choice for those still deciding on the movies to watch. If you want to watch it, better watch it soon, as this movie is already on the screen for more than 2 weeks.

Time for a Break!!!

Exams Over
Finally, the exams are over. Not excited about getting the results back, since I know I'm going to do very badly (the first semester is already shocking enough, think this semester it is going to be even more shocking...). Anyway, results is just another matter. Now, it's time to have fun!!!

Wii
Ok, I've made a minor mistake in the previous post. It should be just simply called "Wii", not "Nintendo Wii". Ok, I've been playing this for the past few days (not the whole day of course). Currently, I only have 3 games, namely Wii Sports (which come inside with the console), Sonic and the Secret Rings (not that I'm interested in this game, but I'm being "forced" to buy this with the console) and Elebits (just bought it quite recently). Anyway, you can use the Wii to play Gamecube games as well, which is good since I have some Gamecube games with me. One thing that kind of surprise me is that the Wii, which uses the slot-loading optical media drive, is able to accept both the 12cm Wii disc and 8cm Gamecube disc (as shown in the pictures below). Hmm... I wonder how did they managed that...





For Wii Sports, it comes with 5 games, namely Tennis, Boxing, Bowling, Baseball and Golf. Yup, you use the Wii-mote to simulate using a racket in tennis, using the bat in baseball and hitting the golf ball with the golf club. For boxing, you'll need the nunchuk (so your nunchuk will be on your left hand and your Wii-mote on your right hand and simulate boxing).

For Sonic and the Secret Rings, you hold the Wii-mote horizontally and just like driving, you control sonic by tilting the controller to the left or right (and any other special moves will require some different kinds of movements with the Wii-mote).

Elebits is something like a shooting game, where you capture the Elebits with the capture gun to gain watts, and to move the objects to find the hidden Elebits. You can either use the circular transparent button on top of the Wii-mote (which is the "A" button) or the trigger button at the bottom of the Wii-mote (which is the "B" button) to shoot at the Elebits. The nunchuk is used to navigate the area. Anyway, I feel that I'm not really good at play this game, since I'm getting mostly grade C for most of my missions (with only 1 grade B and 1 grade A, and I also failed some of the missions a few times before I managed to clear it).

Well, I'm hoping to try out the internet using the Wii soon, but unfortunately I don't have a Wireless connection at home currently, so think I might have to wait...

By the way, for those who have Wii, please remember to do your warm-up first before playing it, especially if you are going to play some sport-related games. Yup, I've got cramps after playing Wii Sports for quite some time...

New Phone: Nokia 2626



Just recently, my Nokia 6610 phone went bonkers. Yup, the screen just wouldn't show anything. So just today, I've got a new phone, Nokia 2626 (costing about $100+). Yup, it is a Nokia 2-series phone without camera (so it's ok to bring this phone into the "No Camera Handphone" area). Ok, my new handphone may not be as good as the one you'll are holding currently (I know most of you'll have camera phones, some even have much more advanced features as well), but well I'm just satisfied with this phone, since I just only need to make phonecalls and SMS (at least this phone has better features than my old Nokia 6610).
