Back!

admin — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 15:29:35 +0000

Site was down for about a month because I messed apache up when I installed subversion on it.

I’ll be back with some juicy updates which I’ve stored!

Wrath Of The Nolifes

astron — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 10:44:56 +0000

Haven’t been updating since god knows when… Basically, I’ve been playing the new World of Warcraft expansion (Wrath of The Lich King), but apparently now I’m stuck in a 1.8k Queue, so I’ve finally got some time to update this page.

I swear the launch event is the worst shit ever. We had to Q under the sun and around some dilapidated back alleys. This is almost like some 3rd world country ration handing-out event. I’ll let the pictures do the talking, this is just horrible.

then there was finally the loot

This is a crappy update I know, I’ll be back when I hit 80 bye.

woot

Halloween ‘08

astron — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 18:59:03 +0000

Spent my Halloween night working, brought my camera there this time and manage to catch some shots, but nothing too fantastic since it was REALLY BUSY.

There were a shitload of funny costumes which people came in, there was this girl who was clad up in cupboards designed like a Rubik’s Cube, and people just spun her round and round whenever she walk past anyone. Too bad I did not have the chance to catch a picture of that.

And a point to note: don’t wear huge ass costumes, ppl are just gonna /facepalm when everyone is trying to squeeze through a tiny path and some joker comes along with a costume bigger than anything they’ve seen before.

I think the funniest costume I caught on cam;

Nothing beats watching a giant carrot and chicken stuck in the dance floor. Okay I’m gonna end this with whatever presentable pictures I manage to take amidst my busy work.

Video Games

astron — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 06:48:40 +0000

A pastime of mine(apart from thinking about stuff like how to get rich / survive an atomic bomb attack) is to head over to TED website and listen to the talks on it, which are usually entertaining and thought-provoking, sometimes educational (subjective). Just last night before I head to bed, I watched a talk by David Perry on video games.

During my lecture for the Operating System module, something caught my attention off the edge of my eyes, someone was playing Final Fantasy 8 on his laptop. So I decided maybe I should just post this up.

It’s an old video dating back to 2006 but the content blew me away, since I’m (or should i say ‘used to be’) be an avid gamer. Enjoy

Seasonal lineups

astron — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 23:09:28 +0000

With 2008 coming to an end, a chunk of special dates comes to mind, such as Deepavali, Halloween, Christmas, New Year, etc etc. And that means WORK. I hope the costume I’m gonna have to wear for Halloween isn’t too silly. Double pay for Christmas and New Year’s Eve = $$$$

First day of school

explains it all

‘mat’slide

astron — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 11:55:13 +0000

With the closure of Ministry Of Sound Singapore, the local community now has 1 lesser night-spot to go to, which resulted in the immediate increase in the # of customers that flooded over to Zouk last night.

Probably served a ratio of 5:1 malay:other races during work last night, it was horrible.

Good times ahead!

I’ve been keeping a close watch on my web traffic and specifically: What are people doing with my cgi proxy.

So as it would appears that people are doing something not so nice through the CGI proxy I’m providing for free.

Don’t make me ban you, whoever you are.
