Alvin and the Chipmunks

Got a little bored. Then realized that they’re gonna make the movie! How cool is that. Just that it’s not gonna be the cartoon version that I used to watch almost 15-18 years ago. It’s some animated CG thing.. oh well..

Then decided to look up the net for some pictures.. ended up with a colouring-book picture. Decided to print it and try my hand at colouring again.. I mean, seriously, WHEN was the last time you picked up colouring pencils and coloured something, just for fun.. heh.

Theodore, Alvin and Simon. =)

Inventions

Bumped into some rather interesting inventions..


Banana Guard
Fed up with bringing bananas to work or school only to find them bruised and squashed? Banana Guard allows you to safely transport and store individual bananas, letting you enjoy perfect bananas anytime, anywhere.


Giant Remote
Never lose your remote again! With giant buttons, this extra-large remote is easy to use and impossible to lose. It even features glow-in-the-dark buttons, so you can easily find the remote in the dark.


Traveler’s T-Shirt
Travel a lot but always face the language barrier? Then this T-shirt is for you. It has a phrase book printed on it so just point a finger at the pictogram you need and then point it twice at the question mark, which means, Where Is It? And in no time you'll find what you were looking for.. or maybe not.

HEAVEN NOW

".. and so it is. With the last shot ringing and the distant sounds of burning debri in the background and smoke billowing from the objective.. he lifts his trigger finger from the Pentel 0.4mm Black Pen and stands over the recaptured land. OUR recaptured land.. "

Gentlemen, as you would have known by now, the situation in the west of Blueland has now been lifted. The republic has since been reinstated to the status of THREATCON level B. The final battle over the North Academic Spine (Exam Hall C) of the RAF-held stronghold proved to be the last struggle as they declared an all-out war on our forces.

Heavy losses were incurred as a result, at the intial stages (Qn 1) of the battle, but the stronghold eventually let up and Blueland Armed Forces once again took control over the whole campus, thereby ending the war.

Redland Armed Forces has since been pushed back into their territory and a FEBA line drawn up along the straits seperating the 2 countries.

For Honour and Glory..

EXAMS ARE OVER!! WOOHOO!!!

Finally over.. 6 papers in 10 days.. only NTU is capable of such madness..

D+5 Day

Situation update:

-Charlie Mike-

Current Location: MGR HALL12

Take heart for the end is near. The team should be glad to know that their courageous act on OBJ NY SRC and OBJ NY AUDIT has held back the EN troops. Their 3 missions over the past 6 days had led to the critical disabling of the EN’s communication capabilities and reports have cited confusion and despair on their part.

Despite heavy casualties on OPERATION INT. ELECTRONICS earlier today, the competence and tenacity of the team has led HHQ to task them with the following Charlie Mike.

The next D Day H Hour will be set at 20 1300 hrs. Codenamed OPERATION COMM. PRINCIPLES, it will be a day ambush on the EN's logistic convoy at OBJ NY AUDIT. LTA YAP has been tasked with the new orders and is currently forming the ops plan.

Resupp will be pushed to the location in 3 hrs.

End of Update.

12 Grand Children

Had a birthday celebration for dear granny last Friday.. amidst all the stress and workload from the exams, it felt good to finally see her again. Seems like a long time since we last saw her.

Had dinner at some Beijing restaurant at Tiong Bahru.. food wasn’t FANTASTIC.. but it was good.. but for such a price, I might not go back there again.. anyway, halfway through the dinner it suddenly dawned on me that she’s got 12 grandchildren.. haha.. that’s quite a feat. Makes me wonder how many I’d have next time.. =P

The Grandchildren..
minus (Shirley + Andrew) in Australia and Daniel in Thailand.

Exam Madness

Crazy things happen around campus all the time.. But you sorta know that the exams are coming really soon when you start noticing crazIER stuff happening..

Like for example, we have the case of the I-think-I'll-just-bring-my-blanket-to-school-so-i-can-use-it syndrome. haha.. madness i tell you. Exam Madness..

in our very own tutorial room at 6 in the evening..


had some eye candy out of my window..

Nostalgia

Got me a new toy over the weekend.. literally.. =)

Beeps went to the toy museum and got me a new toy. THANK YOU BEEPO! A toy aeroplane glider that I used to play when I was prob four. Those made-in-the-eighties babies will most probably remember this one. =)

yes.. I did have a childhood.. =P

The feeling’s really quite nostalgic.. putting together the foam pieces of the plane, with little punch-out slots where you can insert the wings and tail. And of course adding in the weight on the nose and the little propellers. It cost a dollar.. sounds cheap, but actually.. I really don’t remember it to be so expensive.. back in the days when 20 cents could get you handful of barley-mint candies..

Ahh.. how nostalgic. And to actually think that this was found in a MUSEUM. Goodness me. Before I know it, they’ll be putting the game boy (yes! the big grey one), tamiya cars and monopoly in there too.. sheesh.

I also got down to baking some cookies over the weekend.. figured it a good way to relax and since it’ll churn out so so so many cookies, I could give some away too.. (see Famous Alvin Cookies) I guess there’s always some sort of joy that accompanies giving gifts..

Chocolate Chip Cookies !!!

For those who frequent buying batteries for their cameras/discman and what-nots, you'll probably be really familiar with Energizer's new line of Lithium Batteries. They last REALLY REALLY long and i'm a proud fan of it. Just that if you drop by any supermarket, you'll probably notice it to be abt 9 bucks, quite costly for batteries if you ask me. Well.. click on the above picture for a closeup and you'll realise that i got these at only $2.80.. what a steal.. woohoo! I think i just found a new place to get batteries from. =)
