Nuclear Launch Detected.

So....... it's finally here! After waiting for 12 years, Starcraft 2 is finally out!!

As the comic strip Foxtrot so humorously puts it:

hahaha i love Jason he's my favourite character from this comic strip! I think this is probably my favourite one, after Garfield lost its funniness over the years.

So anyway... back to business:

Photobucket
MINE MINE AND MINE.
hahaha. This is the box cover of the game! And it comes with a SC2 T Shirt (which I'll totally wear although the stupid SC2 /Blizz logo looks like a sticker pasted on.. dunno why they didn't make it nicer), a huge SC2 poster (which is the above marine guy.. why they never make more different types huh? Like kerrigan? or of other units?) and a SC2 dogtag!! Which has the number '1337' on it haha.

It's supposedly only for the first 1337 people who purchase the game. And 1337 means LEET (the numbers look like the word) which means elite which means pro, in case you don't know.

This was when i arrived at 10.15AM!! Siao eh!! The event was scheduled to start at 12.30PM btw.
To give you a better picture.. the event was inside Funan, the atrium area. And that entire area already had a queue snaking to cover the whole floor. Then it went out the side entrance, outside to here, and snake more to cover the whole area (you'll see in later pictures), and all the way to the main entrance of Funan.
THIS WAS ONLY AT 10.15AM.

Later on the queue went all the way past funan to the side road, loops back twice i think. When i left at 2+ it was still looped at the end of funan.

moments before we entered the 'inside queue'.


It was quite cool inside, they were having a live match shown on the screens of two unknown players (maybe they're quite famous local players just that.. i do not know them) and a guy was shoutcasting it (commentating). Then the crowd will like ooh and ahh when one player does something well, etc.

All in all i spent like.. 4 hours queuing? gosh i'm nuts. I probably won't do this ever again. Not for Diablo3, i'm not that big a fan.

Gee installation's taking so long. only 39%... hurry up please k thanks.

Happy Birthday Ben!

Ok it's belated actually, ben cheok's birthday was on thursday. Go wish him if you haven't!

Anyway, we had supper at Yassin, and me and Faith ordered paper prata.


Photobucket

Hahhaha not bad ah i should make ads for prata shops.
Anyway yea the first one that came was like damn perfect. Like perfect conical shape, straight and erect.
Then the second one that came was super kenasai! slant one side, look like crap one.


And from a worst angle:

Did you notice that the 4th photo was photoshopped? We didn't even light the candle at all! hahahahaha bet you didn't right!!

More videos from camp

Went to school today for registration and collection of my student card! The picture isn't as bad as i thought it was. I thought i submitted my army botak one haha.

Then because i went early to collect the videos from germaine (they are below), I was also earlier than my stipulated timeslot for my name. So i had an hour to burn , lucky i brought my laptop, so i connected to the NUS wireless to surf.

THEN. this guy came up to me.. he looked like he was mid twenties or something. mature face. He went like:
"hi are you going FASS?'
and i nodded, thinking he was some senior or something and was gonna offer some assistance or something.
Then he said: "oh, my name is blabla(can't remember), i'm going to FASS too!"
Then he starts chatting with me randomly when I clearly wasn't interested to talk to him.. I was like looking at my laptop more and glancing at him to talk abit.

Then the weirdest thing, at the end when he was going off to see something or what, he asked me for my number!!! Like WTF! have i just been 'picked up' by a GUY. fml.
And obviously i was reluctant. So i said like:
"Er.............. for what?"
weird guy: "erm, to make friends?"
And having no experience in dealing with this kinda things, i reluctantly mumbled my number. And i deliberately mumbled so that he would get it wrong.. and he did, and i just nodded.

BUT he was smarter than that, and he said 'ok i give you a call now'. FML.
So obviously the number didn't workk so he asked me to repeat. so i repeated .. this time i didn't mumble much. But don't know what's wrong with his ears or something he kept getting wrong. I think by the 3rd/4th time he could sense my frustration at having to repeat my number or having to give it to him in the first place.. so he just said thanks and walked away without giving me a call to test if it was correct.

I was msging bestie and germaine at that time, so i was like 'damn why can't this be some girl who comes to chat me up'. hahahhaa. but then again, i wouldn't really want a weird girl to come talk to me also, it'll be weird.

Ok anyway that SO wasn't the point of this post. I got the remaining videos from Psych Camp ! Uploaded them on FB, here are the embeds:

Stupid Dance Video
http://www.facebook.com/v/414758821355
At one of the stations in the TAR of PsychCamp2010 we were asked to perform a 2 minute dance video. -_-
So... I have no idea what we are doing, it's some MV of Lady Gaga.. Bad Romance or something. I just copied what the rest were doing.

But check out 0:40-1:00 for my dance solo :D
I really think it's quite good lor! For an untrained self-taught noob like me. wahaha.


Finale Night Skit
http://www.facebook.com/v/414772006355
My group's Murder Investigation skit for PsychCamp2010!
Just to explain, my crazy jumping around is mimicry of the actual clown who we 'interrogated' during the MI night, in case you were wondering why i'm behaving like an idiot. :S
(it may take awhile to load because the file is big!)
