Mr. J0sA1Ac Cheong

First purchase of the year.

Hello. I'm back after duno for how nong. But its so far still quite exciting. But school term just started which sucks.

Psychological challenges of a fat boy
After the school term started, I sprung into my exercise program. Not hardcore but good enough for a guy who like hasnt exercise regularly. I chose swimming. Not cuz i've got a sexy body/trunks, but maybe its a good start and easy to keep up with. Cuz i've tried jogging, which made me give up in like 1 week, and bball which is very conditional (bball w/o frenz is super boring, and frenz are hard to find).

The first day was of course scary and embarrassing. I had to face the psychological challenges of a fat boy going to swimming where the guys pose on those white chairs suntanning. And whenever a guy looks at you for more then 5 secs, he's gay. Lol, no la I mean you'll feel like he's thinking, "Wth is this fat boy doing here?" Swim swim swim halfway LEG CRAMP. OMFG...In the middle of the pool somemore. But, i still managed to get to the edge of the pool. One of the worst leg cramps i've experienced. Didnt wanna continue but later swam for another like 10 laps then go home liaoz.

First week - monday, wednesday, and friday.
Second week - tuesday, wednesday, thursday (wanted to go mon - fri, but fuck raining.)
Third week (This week) - Today. ( Please dun rain the rest of the week. Ty.)

*2hrs/day.

I really hope to go on w/o having to think when to stop. I'm still quite willing to go on. At last i've found my motivation to go school. After school can go swim. Ermz, but i'm still late for every first lesson lei.

One last statement
"Posers at the poolside cant swim." XD. Maybe now why they're called posers. Posing + Loser = Poser.



My first big purchase of this year, and probably (definitely) the biggest of all time. I spent $740 all in one day. Pain sia, due to rash behaviour, my plans for my new comp next year is abolished. And now i don't even have enough money for ps3. I really wished I had parents that would support my purchase. So freaking unfair. Sister buy clothes got sponsor, I got no sponsors.

Actually only intended to get a mic for skype and mayb games @ maybe the most $200.

*If u're wondering why $200 so expensive, the answer to you is: I'm crazy, I need this for skype.









Lol, Shure mic of cause expensive la. Sartsy right.
*Sartsy = Sart + sexy.

Plus people always call me rich kid after such a purchase, but, do you know the sacrifices i make.

1. I've never spent money on clothes.
2. I've never spent my eating allowance. ( Classmates and nigel may know that, and i really think i'm attaining immortality soon. Don't tell me you're hungry, I'm halfway deleting it from my brain. )
3. I only spend money on occasional food treats for family and that's all. Maybe some money with sec sch fren outings.
4. Normal Daily expenditure of 50cents. (Swimming complex entrance fee, yes, I swim for 2 hrs on a empty stomach after sch.)
5. First meal usually @ 5pm. (When i reach home)

So, i'm not rich, but actually a stingy young man. Stingy to myself. But fren fren can lend money la. Or treat. Only stingy to myself. I'm no jw.

All jonathan tan's fault la. I, cr, fabian and jon went to sls to help jonathan get the best bargain for his new comp and get our stuff. Fabian go look see look see. Met @ the sls food court. Ate BCM (bah chor mee). $3.50, ex rite. They really know how to make money man. They make pple no choice, "Abalone minced pork noodle*. Wth, and for one slice of abalone ( Not sure real anot) , its 3.50. But nvm la, BCM only. After that go walk around asking for quotation lor. Jonathan's budget for pc is around 3k-4k so still alright la. How i wished i had that kind of money man.

First skylet then after that fuwell. Settled in fuwell, then bargained like siao, then the guy keep taking out better stuff.

Den we always challenged back by saying, "We get, you discount la."

Salesman: "Cannot la, aiya, ok la."

Den in the end jonathan's new comp's specs damn OMFG.

Den i just ask for fun, "Put in one pair of z5500 got discount anot."

Salesman: "z5500 ar, logitech ar. Er, $595 lo."

*Horny*

Den i think and think, cuz even if i dun get now i already planned to get next yr or so, somemore now got special price of $100 discount, why not.

Den....

J0sA1Ac: "Hoot la! I whack one pair."

I also got a Razer Tarantula Keyboard, cuz.....

Fabian: Tarantula how much ar?

Salesman: TANLANTULA(lol, wtf) huh? 185.

Fabian: Skylet sell $159 lei.

Salesman: Fuck la (he really said fuck), we sell $145 now. (Skylet and Fuwell are rivals btw)

Fabian: Joel, you taking anot.

J0sA1Ac: Take la, take la. my logitech keyboard sooner or later aso must change, the keys so f one.


Bo bian la, the temptations are too great liaoz. Den after that I kiss my MX5021 good bye, sold to fabian @ $120.

My Former Altec Lansing MX5021



















Bye bye. Nice experiences with you. I don't wanna get emo tho.People who want good audio and 2.1. Get this, u'll never regret. Fabian, have fun. Dun get emo when u have to let it go.

Guaran-damn-teed courtesy of J0sA1Ac.


New Speakers, Logitech z-5500













5.1 speakers, meaning 5 satellites and one subwoofer. The subwoofer is huge. bigger then the mx5021's.
VERYVERY strong bass. Stronger than mx5021, although mx5021 is good. But usually you don't need such a powerful bass unless your room's very big.















My Rating - 8.5/10
Cuz havent found a place to put my rear speakers, so cant experience the surround sound effect and aso no digital coax cable so cant experience digi audio, that's y so low.

Retail price - $699
Bought @ - $595

There are many benefits of getting speakers. Pampering your ears is only the primary benefit. There are a few more.














So good you've to put it right beside your ears, as if they're your ears.















Subwoofers always serve as good solid leg rests. Gives your feet alittle massage too.





Razer Tarantula Keyboard














Had been wanting to get a keyboard for quite a long time after my logitech keyboard's keys so hard even after washing it. YES!!~~!#)!*$!@ no more hard keys song man. Can type uber fast now. Shiok.

Retail Price - $185 @ fuwell, $159 @ Skylet (Price varies at other shops)
Bought @ - $145

Why so ex for a keyboard? This keyboard is particularly ex because of its brand, Razer. And also because of the LEDs and also for its Macro Keys. A keyboard designed for lazy gamers. And its quite slim.

My Rating - 8.0/10.0
Again, y so low? Cuz I think macro keys are still quite restrictive. I was thinking of using the macro keys as quick commands in bf2 but commands needed navigation of the mouse, so its not possible. And also G15 is more worth it if u heck design. I may think of getting a G15 after i use this till sian. For the experience.



After the purchase, frankly, i sim tia, but after using them

Face of a Satisfied User













Satisfaction beyond cost.


That's all for today,
Off to save the world.


Mr. J0sA1Ac Cheong

Before going off, to all banglas, Happy labour day.

Osalians' official 3rd year of existence

From Left: Mingwei, Joel, Sexy Boss.
*Nigel is missing in all the photos i've got, so...

That was x-country 2 yrs ago...you can compare the difference between the present mingwei and the mingwei in this photo. And yes, compare to last time, sexy and i were slimmer.












Lol mingwei, you shouldnt have changed your appearance.















LOOL, after 2 yrs of cultivation, i've achieved success trying to look like my mum. This is taken on Nov last year btw, so not very credible. My size is constantly changing.

uhhuh! i got a better gauge...taken during osalian suntec adventure...(jus got it from mw).





























Sexy's always almost the same. But i tin nowadays no more flat top. And nowadays wth, sexy!, why always ask u go out with us always FIT. zZz....Spoiler.

Nigel lol....no more mad scientist...always go SP clubbing...lol...And his passion towards fishing grew stronger.



All in all, Osalians has stayed true to its brand these 3 yrs.
Three years of fun and adventurous missions.



GLHF. Osalians gogogo.


That's all for today lo.

Off to save the world,
Mr.J0sA1Ac Cheong,
Osalian Boss & Oracle.

edit: by the way, today is april's fool, err...aprils' fools,april fool day? wth? doesnt make sense. Especially in singapore where you can make anyone a fool anyday. So don't go around calling people april fools.

Welcome back Commander.

Before i get to the stuff i really wanna blog, i've been wondering why people have such miserable descriptions of their lives in blogs. Cuz i tot i had the most boring life. I'm beginning to realise singaporeans are getting alil emo nowadays.

"Cuz i tot i had the most boring life." A very good example is the stuff i think about when either i'm about to sleep or maybe even when i'm doing my *Business*. How about one of my all-time favourite question to myself.

No matter how much water u pour in, the water level doesnt seem to rise. WTH?! I've been thinking of this till now even though i've got a few answers to this question. I think i started thinking when i was damn young. I started throwing all the casette tapes and video tapes (this shows how long ago that is) i used to have down the toilet. *I was very young and curious.* I wanted to know what will happen when i flushed it down.














So if u're a *emo thinker, try this as a start. An amazing invention. (Don't gimme that "eeyer disgusting" expression, tt's being emo. It's just a bowl. XD.)

*Emo thinkers in this post are people who are super persimistic.

Oh ya, that time i forgot to put in one thing when i relived my memories. Osalian's 2nd official ball bought by me after i lost the legendary wilson ball.














His service to the osalians for more than 2 years.



Yesterday was so very exciting, I went for the C&C3 Tiberium Wars Official Launch @ Shaw house. Woohoho. The event officially started at 1400. But I went there @ 1030 to queue. This is how it works la, u present your preorder card, and you'll redeem from the booth there.

Preorder Card (Left) and the postcard (Right)













Other hardcore fans (asked them) were there @ 900, shock sia. I was one of the first 100.Which means I HAVE A LIMITED ED POSTER (zZz...i know what you're thinking.). Too excited la, i go there early not cuz i wanna get the poster but too excited liaoz. Had been waiting for the release for almost 5-6 years. That maybe is the reason why the guy on the preorder card (Kane) points 5 fingers (lame.).













Made some friends at the event there. *Birds of same feathers flock together*. Fool around with some people @ mac when they installing. LOL. After i redeemed my stuff, the queue was wtf-ish long. 3 rounds around the fifth floor. Heng sia. Watched Mr Bean's Hols with some of the guys at the launch and sexy. The carson part is damn funny

Mr Bean's Holiday






My rating - 7.5/10

Went home at 6pm. And became super high/hyper. Cuz at last, the wait is over...














*The Yes expression* (Nice light effect rite).


Preorder package consists of a GDI shirt, a Razer Mantis Control Mat, C&C3 tiberium wars game DVD, a poster (first 300 only) and a dogtag. All these for only $79.90.














At last, i'm back. GDI COMMANDER. I'm ready. I'm ready TO CRUSH NOD SCUM....Destroy NOD and KANE!!!! Pwahaha.















And for those who have not purchased the launch event's....















That's all for today lo.

Osalian Friendster's Birthday

Happy Birthday Osalians. The best of friends. Exciting trip to geylang on Sat/Sun.

Mr. J0sA1Ac Cheong,
Oracle & Boss.

O level results doesnt matter.

Received my results just last week. And there is a mix of emotions. One is "heng man, i passed, dunid forward modules.", and the another is , "This is only the first year and my results suck. + I'm endangering my chances to go for further studies after poly in sing." But it's quite obvious why i didnt do well. Better luck next time. Lol. During o's, i did the best among the osalians, but now, i'm the worst. SP's old zikrie.

Holidays w/o work is fun. People @ home usually feel bored, but with so much entertainment @ home, i'm busy @ home. Lol. I'm back to watching WWE, ever since pri 5 with that WWE trading card game fad. Lol, some of you people may think i'm a nut watching WWE, but its entertainment. The more lame it is, the more entertaining it is. And yes, I've been watching taiwan variety shows on my computer (ever since cr showed me a site to dl from). Back to playing DotA after quite a break. And the osalians outing (refer to Mingwei's Blog or Nigel's) which is so LOL. And yes, I'm looking forward to having the same gems with the other osalians. It'll sure be LOL-ly fun. My own class is alil too quiet and alil too boring. And yes, for the first time in my blog, fuck. School's starting again soon, and yes, i know it's gonna be boring.

The last post i mentioned that i was gonna take out my dad's guitar stuff and play again. And yes, I did the next day.

Pedals (I'm sure my dad hid some of them.)

The 2 dollar note is to compare the size. I tried all of them that day, but after that day i only used the smaller black one.

and after setup, my room was full of wires and looked like this....



If anyone of you have a messier room tag me. My room is messy enuff w/o the setups. When i saw the picture of my room. I gave one of the most original fat face, 'OMFG reaction'.













I haven bathe at that time, so i may look a little bald on the left. After staring at this photo, I feel i look alil cartoon. You can feel it by comparing my hand on the right and my face. Alil imba rite. And mingwei, who says that go poly will change. One perfect example that contradicts is right here. I havent change my hairstyle since duno when.

That's for that day. And yes, yesterday i nothing to do, so i went to relive alittle memories. Like the wwe cards which i used to play from pri 5- sec 2. And those who played cards with me during pri sch should still rmb i hold all championship title belts. Pwahaha. With my mankind. My wwe card legacy was alil interesting that mayb few people may experience. 3 hot packs (all summerslam, gay, but at least hot pack rite?). And played so many superstar decks. But it ended when my 2 albums got stolen and that gary confiscating card incident. Looking back, i tin i'm alil stupid wasting all that money. But it bought memories, so its ok.














If you guys playing wwe cards before, that's a 'Turn into the corner turnbuckle'. 6 Fortitude 0 Damage. Can't quite remember the text. I tin its smth to do with increasing the fortitude to the reversals to the next strike or grapple maneuver u play. I don't even know why the heck tt card is in my box.


The next item should still be remembered by my sec3 and 4 classmates. I show the picture u all know liaoz.














Ding, ding ding. It still in my house. I still duno where i got tt courage from. Mayb that orc was too efeojfpofzj...And that miss phang interrogation was scary.

Precious to the Osalian Legacy. The Sunkist bottle. People who never play bball with us wouldn't know how important this is.















That's all for today lo.

Off to save the world,
Mr.J0sA1Ac Cheong

The Return.

LOL, after so freaking nong, i'm back.

I didnt blog because:

1. Pure laziness
2. Always forget what i want to type
3. Busy

After that last blog post, "the new year". I had my exams during late January to early February. I think its to 9 Feb. And then go for work i applied with nigel, as some yeo's stationboy or promoter, until now i don't know what job position i was applying for at that time.

Yeo's Man/Boy (Whatever.)

I was stationed at some NTUC @ Depot Heights Shopping Centre @ Depot Rd for a week. Depot Road's near CMPB, which is near Telok Blangah, which is near Redhill/Tiong Bahru, which is not near my house. Working hours usually 10am-10pm so not so bad cuz start late. The job's very relax, very very relaxed. This is how my day is when i'm working there.

I'll take lrt to Choa Chu Kang, then from there all the way to Tiong Bahru Mrt Station, then take a bus 195 to Depot Road. And always, by the time i reach the NTUC, i'm always 1/2hr or more later. Meaning i'll reach there about 1030 or 1100. LOL. But no one will say anything, cuz I don't have a direct boss there. Cuz i'm with yeo's, but there i'm the only yeo's guy, the rest are NTUC workers.

In my NTUC outlet (or most), they have a plain clothes security officer, and he usually is the most free guy in the NTUC, so he always help me mark timesheet lo. But seriously this officer is so lol, i usually come @ 1030 but he always mark my timesheet 1000-2200 straightaway when its still 11 in the morning. And furthermore he usually leave my NTUC outlet @ 1300 everyday. Which means I can knockoff early and collect free money. LOL. Joker.

To explain how slack this job is, lemme tell you how's my day like. When I just come, I will check the stocks inside see whether need replenishing, if need den replenish, if not i'll wait for newpaper to come. LOL. I'll sit on the cartons of drinks and wait. Cuz my outlet seriously no one during morning and afternoon. Then when newpaper come, i'll buy a copy. I'll then take a can of yeo's promo drink and sit down and read newpaper and drink. LOL. wtf. Then i'll sit and take my rounds ard the NTUC to do window shopping and replenish stock. If nth, i'll come out and sit again. Although on paper, my lunchtime suppose to be 1/2hr, I usually take 1 and 1/2hrs. Cuz, go back there so early aso no use, no customer.

And its quite zZz aso. Cuz walk in walk out all uncle and auntie. Not like nigel's outlet. Working staff all uncle auntie aso. If not, its black. Until last day of work den got one not-bad-cashier pop out. But, what's the point?

So, if anyone interested in this yeo's cny thing, can try next yr. But for slackers only. Cuz if u hardworking and you work there confirm feel damn bored. Rmb to bring some form of portable entertainment there.

My Rating - 8.5/10



For the yeo's job i worked there until 16 February. Then i took a rest for a week, then @ 26 February went for another job. This one less enjoyable. But got friend there so nevermind. Its some kinda stock taking job. Definitely not as slack as yeo's but if you like pasting sticker and counting stuff can try. But yeo's still the best la (Nigel can confirm this statement).

Stock Taking @ Hitachi

LOL, simply a job lo, whre you work, den have break, den work again, oh! finish work liao, den go home lo. This job got from through Nigel from FishingKaki.com. LOL, $6/hr, so ok lo. Worked with Jw A.K.A Sexy Boss. I go there i shocked sia, first time see so many part timers doing the same thing. Counting stuff and pasting sticker. About 40+ i tin. This one can't really slack. Cuz must finish the assignment. Then also under heavy supervision. But not too tough a job la. Not a slacker's job.

My Rating - 6.9/10 (Mostly because of the money, if its $5/hr the rating can be as low as 3.0/10)



I worked there from 26 February to 30 February. On 26 February, I finally got my PSP, after much hesitation. I still remembered I didnt really like the idea of buying a $500 handheld console. But, gems gave me the idea to buy it. Cuz gems and lessons were freaking boring. And i couldn't keep letting myself play daidi for long. Aso will get bored. Plus if some of my Dadi-Kaki ponten school then i can play psp myself ma. LOL.

My PSP

I got myself a metallic silver colour psp with a 4gb mem card and some casing. Its seriously expensive, but nevermind la. Cuz lazy to go all the way to tampines to get one cheaper one. Frankly, its better to get it from forums, whre they mass-order to sell. By the way, people who have yet to buy one or wants to buy one, you all can check forums.vr-zone.com. Under the IT Garage section i tin, the consoles subsection. Got one guy selling v1.5 @ 229 if i didnt remember wrongly. Mine i bought @ GM (Gamemaster) for $515 (PSP v1.5 standard pack + 4gb Sandisk Original Mem card + Metal Casing + Twin Power-Data Usb cable). I know la, its ex.

Music's part and parcel of my life. That's one reason why I got my Altec Lansing MX5021 (I still like it) and Creative Soundcard and aso the reason why i'm planning to get a pair of high-end earphones.(If you're thinking sony, its a sign that you've been drawn by the brand.) I'm thinking Bose, Audio-Technica or Shure. But Shure like cheaper lei. If anyone got any of these earphones gimme comments. Was talking to Gin about audio stuff. About the expensive-ness of bose stuff. But i'll definitely spend the money if i had it.

Talking about music, i've been listening to music that are misjudged by other people as boring. But to each his own. I'm currently listening to Acoustic Alchemy's pieces. Definitely not the pop-songs with the LOL lyrics.

Acoustic Alchemy

I knew this band cuz my dad has the dvd, and whenever i sian i will take his dvds to watch. And I think by now i watch the dvd 10-20+ times liaoz. Any of you want more of their music can msn me. (which i think rarely anyone likes) I've got all of their albums.


Lol, on Thursday last week, I asked Jeremy for some Electrico song samples. Cuz i was going for the concert @ NUS the next day, which was Friday, 30 February. Not bad la. Den after that we exchange songs. And omg, he sent me the Kenny G piece, reminds mi of the time when i was in kindergarten when i listen to the cassette tape everytime i go to bed. And until now, I feel its so nice. But Kenny G only a few pieces nice. Kenny G's Albums up for grabs.

On Friday, 30 February I went for the Electrico concert sponsored by my dad. Lol. Buay pai la. The vocals not like those lame one.Wan electrico music, I don't have. Lol. Singapore Pride.

About bass lesson, I don't think i'll get it liaoz. Think I'll continue with my steel string guitar. But i've been thinking of investing in a good electric acoustic hollow guitar. Mayb budget around $2000-$3000. If anyone got recommendations plz tag or msn me.

Today I took out my dad's toys. His guitar and amp but maybe tml i'll play with the pedals too.

the new year

Yes, happy new year. Had a dream during the night of new year's eve. She reappeared suddenly. I was in school, Fajar sec. And like a tape recorder, it replayed that night. We didnt talked, i just hum-ed away just like how i did in the past.

29/12/2006
Went for sec 4 fren's outing. Was almost 30min late. The best thing is that zhihao and mingwei came for it, which was quite rare. We talked about where to go for the next 1hr+. At first it was ECP one, but later duno y changed again. So after 1hr+ of discussion, we finally decided to go cineleisure for a movie. And when we were there, we spend somemore time discussing wad to movie to watch. LOL sia, but tt's was we always do. Actually i was quite keen to watch NATM...but....

Mingwei watched "Night at the Museum" and so we cant watch that.
Weiquan watched "Death Note 2" and so we cant watch that.
Roy and Mingwei watched "Curse of the golden flower" and so we cant watch that.

So in the end, we watched something that somewhat gave me an idea of "pearl harbour". The movie was FlyBoys. It's freaking stereotype. You see the title you aso know what izzit liaoz. Flyboys definitely gives you the idea that its a movie on aeroplanes, and when u add guns to the planes and add some romance into the show, that's the full movie. =.='''.

Flyboys

My Rating - 3.0/10.0

Its a waste of time. It was about 2hr+ i tin. Avoid this movie, its horrendous to me. I've never rate this low on a review.

After the movie we discuss on where to makan our lunch/dinner. At first we went seoul garden but the cost was too lol liaoz. Raf recommended Ramen Ten @ Far East, so we walk from taka to far east lo.

The food there? I personally don't fancy jap food la, IMHO it sux. But the ramen was quite alright, not that bad, the only thing was that ginger taste was alil strong. It was quite spicy too. I ordered the Spicy Teriyaki Salman Ramen i tin. Forgot liaoz. The portion was really pathetic, but its expected la, its town wad. After makaning lunch went to gin's house. Before that go plaza's Auntie Lucy (NTUC) to get some stuff.

We went there to get some vodka, and some other content to mix. The auntie @ NTUC didnt let me buy and insisted on wanting me to flash my IC.

So we went to gin's house with only some lime juice and cans of tonic. Lol. I barely drank up to 2 glasses of vodka + ice cream soda. Den later after a few games of "Bluff/Cheat", I felt alil drowsy. But the amazing thing is that my face turned white. And wth is that so? I only see in movies that pple's face turn red but not white. I seldom drink alcohol. The only times i drank was @ gin's house. It was the place i first drank alcohol.

Lost

Lots of my SP frens asked me to play games with them on hamachi lately but i rejected them. Why? Because i had something else to do. Watch Lost. Worth watching, but not as addictive as prison break.

My Rating - 8.2/10.0
