November Rain
Nov 26th
November rain, my favourite song from my all time favourite band, Guns N’ Roses. And since its November and its raining almost day can’t help but remembering this sad old tune. A song Axl spent years to finish and finally did so with some help from Slash and the band.
Anyways, I went to dig out my old CDs. Only could find these few. Appetite for Destruction, Use Your Illusion I & II, Live Era. I wonder where are the others CDs like Lies, The Spaghetti Incident and the music videos VCD.
GnR is music influenced me greatly during my secondary school days. And I also picked up guitars because of that. Some of my friends around me did too. I love the original crew of Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Alder the most; That doesn’t mean I disliked the others, I still like the others that have contributed from Dizzy for doing all the funny instruments to Buckethead for Rock In Rio tours. Its a shame everyone had different ambition and of course being the most notorious and controversial band didn’t help. But I think fans just like them for being crazy and the great music they make. For now, Chinese Democracy is the album I’m dying for. After waiting for years, they say they will be releasing it early this year, but till now still no news =(
Nothing better to do
Nov 20th
Just came back from supper with my monash classmates. Man, the roti prata at NUS is really CRAP. Worst than the ones at opposite beauty world. Altho the 2 stalls there are already rubbish.
Decided to check out my facebook account since it was one of the topics we talked about just now. This is what happen when I don’t login regularly. Whats up with all those “plugins” or whatever they are called. Look at the damn scroll bar, I spent like 15 mins just to clear up all those notifications. Not to mention the emails they send you…
Good thing friendster don’t have all these funny things, because login like once every…. 6 months? Then again, friendster is like so very yesterday, altho i prefer it since its simple. Seriously, I don’t really know how this facebook thing works. Anyways I feels kinda bored at home recently. Maybe I’ll start looking for people to add, just to be “IN” crowd.
Windows Live email
Nov 19th
Heres the direct link for a @live.com.sg email. Use this link instead of the one from the live page because it will give you an error, and you have to keep retrying which is very annoying.
Get your username before someone else grab it. But I still think @msn.com is more unique and rare. Come to think of it, what will our children use next time, since all the simple usernames on yahoo, gmail, hotmail are taken.
第41届台湾电视金钟奖
Nov 18th
好无聊噢。超级星光大道拿了两个奖。还以为吴宗宪可以拿到奖。老实说这是我第一次看Live的金钟奖，还蛮不错，有闷锅那群人在闹，有杨宗纬，还有丞琳！
Ok啦。最后还是要说 宪哥加油 明年再来！
Morgan Stanley Summit
Nov 15th
Final day of the Summit. Kinda sad I couldn’t be involved through out the entire event. All I can say is that the management simply sucks.
Its still fun tho, seen and experienced many new things, met many nice people there.
Exams are over~
Nov 7th
Finally, exams are over. Today’s ISM paper is a killer. Just hope to pass the paper will be great. After the paper, most of us(class/course mates) went over to Huang Ming’s place for BBQ. Didn’t stayed too long because I thought I could make it back to send my Mum to the airport but I was alil late.
Time to play some StarCraft !
Jeremy Clarkson: Supercar Showdown
Nov 6th
Took a break from studying and watch the video. Very nice show, featuring the best cars to date by manufacturers like Audi, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Aston Martin, Porsche, Bugatti and a few others. As usual you get those witty jokes and comments from Jeremy. Not to mention how he crash the GT3. And the stig is also featured a couple of times.
Very entertaining show from the person who just won the Special Recognition Award in Britain. Kinda funny tho, a supercar documentary is rated PG. Maybe its because of Jeremy and that all his shows should be rated PG.
Friends from NS
Nov 4th
Some pictures from the 9th September last month. Muthu came back from England during the summer break. Cheong and Eugene were the other ones I know. The others include Muthu’s cousin, and some other friends. Muthu treat us to some Indian cuisine as usual, kinda special, because I never had anything like that.
3 down, 1 to go.
Nov 3rd
Now that I’m left with only one paper, which happens to be open book. I’m not feel so stressed out anymore. Went to repair my w850 at Toh Guan. The service there is a hundred times better than Wisma’s center. Took only one day to fix my keypad, firmware and they also given me a set of new earphones, very cool. The queuing time was like 5 minutes compared to hours at Wisma, and days or weeks to get a phone fixed.
When to NTU to revise with Bingwen, altho we always end up playing bomberman in the end. And today is Jay’s album launch although fans in Singapore will have to wait till next week to get the albums due to some delays somewhere. Still haven’t hear a word from Karen about switching roles with Brandon, while he is enjoy in Japan right now. No news from him too. Lets just hope we get to swap our roles, and everyone will be happy!
Damn. Haven’t been posting anything useful recently.
