Project Sanctuary Lost - Breakaway
Status as of 26/1/2009: Online (v1.0)
New features: None
Removed features: Cbox, Digital Clock, Archives
Known bugs: Bugged xFire profile display
Future development: a possible anti-spam tagboard
I always kept a spare blogskin just in case anything happens
it pays to be always prepared. heh.
As you can see, this is actually not an upgrade from the old blogskin
i intentionally removed several features to avoid excessive spamming
i only put in like 5hrs of work in total for this blogskin
yes, everything is done by me.
background edited using fireworks as usual. =)
a rough concept of this blogskin began to take form last year
the first draft was completed 1-2mths back
tweaks and finalization done within one day, which is today.
i can really change my blogskin in a flash.. lol
some poor blokes out there are just simply so shallow
wad can be gained from conflicts?
nothing.
sometimes u nid to take time off to reflect on your own actions.
for the greater good of everyone;
peace through power. =D

i just suddenly felt like blogging
had a few things on my mind which wld go to waste if i didnt type it out
random musings abt life..
maintaining a relationship is like flying a kite
once the kite sets off,
u need to let the wind take it higher up to the skies
let it soar up high.
if u keep tugging on the string,
and pulling the kite back towards you,
the kite won't have the opportunity to reach its full potential
and you won't be able to experience the magic in it
so don't pull too hard..
let it go sometimes,
and let it soar.
be kinder to those around you who cares
friends deserve better treatment;
don't fret about life,
it will only put ppl off
learn to stand on your own feet
and shoulder your own burden
for it was meant to be yours in the first place
it's gonna take quite a while..
but i'll definitely nt give up;
time is of the essence. =)
for those still clinging on,
don't stop believing in it.
for my faith in it is lost,
and i'm nt planning to regain it back.

the weekends are here
time really flies eh?
talking abt weekends, diz sure is gonna be one long weekend
4 days of nth to do
*yawnz*
time hasn't exactly "flew" actually..
i shld haf taken a pic of the "CBD" in the incubator back at the lab
frm wad began as a humble repetitive project,
with only one cell line to play arnd with..
has expanded to 2 cell lines, and many, many passages..
up till the point whereby it becomes stacks of flasks cramped together
just like having ur very own "CBD" in the incubator. =/
but oh well, the situation is nt so bad now
after we froze down quite a number of the cells
*how sad. sobx.* =(
nth much to blog abt actually,
other den how i am incredibly constantly late for sch every day. >.<
even dawn is starting to whack me for being late
lolz~! =X
the past hr has been quite interesting,
i just got to know abt a few new things..
*most of them are regarding my obsessions, so i dont expect that many of u out there to get wads the point of this.. lol*
1. Gundam 00 Season 2 - 2nd ending theme (ep 15 onwards) is Trust You by Yuna Ito
- okay, 2 separate obsessions (i'm sooo into gundam 00, and i have the whole of yuna ito's discography) has found each other. o.O -2. m.o.v.e has just released a new album entitled "Humanizer"
- i loved this group, and thought this group was dead after releasing their 10th year anniversary compilation album. o.O -3. Initial D Arcade Stage 5 is coming out soon
- i guess there were really a lot of negative comments abt arcade stage 4 being so unrealistic.. =/ -4. Initial D Extra Stage 2 is already out
- i was waiting for the fifth stage to come out, which is supposed to take dunno how many eons, and this release actually slipped out of my list of anticipated stuff. =/ -learning something new every day.. =/
just one mth left, and sch will be over
will i miss sch? =/
wyd inscribed diz at 11:10 PM
geez.. i see zombies looming arnd here already
it's been quite a while.
many of u were wondering wad happened in my NS medical check up
well, its all explained below..
but i'll start off with other things first.
went out for dinner with the guys last friday
*erhem.. 5 secs of fame for the following guys who came along: nic, sf, imman, junjie, andre, alvin*in lieu with nic's bday which will be on monday
went to chomp x2.. where i only had the option of eating satay
but its okay, its the company that counts
went to coffee bean after that
1hr of plain talk cock session.
pretty fun i guess.. haha~
and no, i didnt drink coffee
drank hot chocolate.. which was..
milky. =/
on other news, a few days back,
we had SOLID which was just a stupid talk by some rep frm gsk.
nid to go for 3 of these in the duration of our fyp
and do a summary on wad was discuss.. zzz
now here comes the
sf suan-ing sessionso we were in the conference rm.. listening..
copying notes..
listening to the speaker with his accent which i cant pin point frm which country..
must be somewhere in europe..
anyway.. so it was pretty monotonous..
when suddenly..
*thud.*
okay, sf dropped his pen.
it must haf slipped off his hand when he was copying notes..
right?
NOT.
after the talk i found out the truth..
so lets re-enact the whole scene
so we were all in the rm..
speaker talking in frnt.. very monotonous..
dull mood.... all just feels so....
sleepy....
*zzz* <-- sf fell asleep
*few mins later*
*thud.*
sf looks arnd with a blur stoned look for wad had just happened
and oh, pen dropped.
geez. and i thot he was hard at work copying notes.. -.-"
talking abt that, i still havent written the summary for the talk
oh well, nt in the mood.. so heck~
i'd rather find other forms of "clock murderers". =/
i finally completed all 3 red alert 3 campaigns!
wee~!
incredibly, RA3 is quite interesting as u progress on
a couple of comic relief in the cinematics
esp in the allies campaign
the president talking with a weird lingo
tanya and eva trying to get the commander's attention
its.. very.. okashi. o.O
*glossary: okashi = strange + funny*
so now im back to square one
with nothing to do again.
*yawnz*
i wonder which game shall i hop onto nxt? =/
i promised to update on my medical check up
well, here it goes..
to summarise the whole thing,
it sucks. lol.
going thru station by station doing all the tests
watching the person in charge take ur form and write a pathetic "A" for each of the check points
a few highlights
the dentist was awfully quick with me
for others, there's a lot of complications with their teeth
for mine, he just said "8 erupted" to his assistant.. wadever that means
and im done. o.O
but.. i had to do a teeth x-ray after that
i guess its coz i nv use braces
haha~
nxt.. the
damned blood test..
*take note on the emphasis of the word DAMNED*okay.. so i was supposed to sit on the chair
outstretch my right arm
and be at the mercy of the doc who will poke my arm and let the blood drip into the collection vial
took him quite a few tries to find the correct vein
and he pokes it! yay!
which followed by me waiting for the blood to be collected into the vial..
drip..
drip...
drip....
drip.....
*2 mins later..*
doc: "eh.. ur blood flow out v slow ah.. gimme ur left arm."
me: *WTF!?!?* o.O
so, in the end.. i became quite "special"..
with a plaster on EACH arm. -.-"
okay, lets skip to the last part..
aka the most interesting part shall we?
the final examination by the doc
doc: "so.. do u have any medical history?"
me: "i broke my arm before."
doc: "so nothing else rite?"
me: "just the broken arm and fractured foot."
doc: "so u're fit for everything rite?"
me: "my left arm is still weak"
doc: "oh.. that one.. u nid to see specialist"
doc: "so nothing wrong rite.. gd.. pes A."
me: *OMGWTFWTH!?!?*
so is my claims justified?
the medical check up is relli crap. =/

i'd rather drive down a mountain pass. o.O

to be updated: adventures of wyd doing his medical check up

before this, i didnt even know wad the lyrics meant
only managed to understand bits and pieces of it.
oh well, enjoy. =)

ROSIER
by High and Mighty Color
[I've pricked my heart]
[I am the trigger]
[I've pricked my heart]
A town that has even forgotten how to glitter,
Floods of neon; Flocks of sleepwalkers.
Amidst rotten ambition's wind-scattered bits,
A building slicing the night sky which I looked upon..
No Dreams..
[In this world]
In this city, where not even brilliant stars can be seen,
I'm searching for an end in the night sky;
With thin fingers blocking out the night,
Searching for an answer.
Shaking, shaking, my heart is left not believing in anything.
The one that blossomed: "My Rosy Heart"
Shaking, shaking, in this world, left also unable to love.
Like petals so colorful that they bring on sadness.
Rosier, I loved you. Rosier, I can't approach you.
Rosier, I can't hold you close. Rosier, I loved you too much.
[I've pricked my heart]
By the time I knew, I was born
Reason or quest, nor being told
What do I do. What should I take
Words 'God will know' won't work for me
Nothing starts. Nothing ends in this city
Exists only sever lonesome and cruel reality
But still I search for light
I am the trigger. I chose my final way.
Whether I bloom or fall, is up to me
[I am the trigger]
In this city, where not even brilliant stars can be seen,
I'm searching for an end in the night sky;
With thin fingers blocking out the night
Searching for an answer.
Shaking, shaking, my heart is left not believing in anything.
The one that blossomed: "My Rosy Heart"
Shaking, shaking, in this world, left also unable to love
Won't it scatter, short-lived? Like those petals?
Shaking, shaking, my heart is left not believing in anything.
The one that blossomed: "My Rosy Heart"
Shaking, shaking, in this world, left also unable to love.
Like petals so colorful that they bring on sadness.
Rosier, I loved you. Rosier, I can't approach you.
Rosier, I can't hold you close. Rosier, not even myself.

woke up late as usual for sch
incidently, i'm being quite on the dot with my timing
for the past 3 days, each time i tap in and open the lvl 6 block q main door,
i look down the corridor,
i see the numbers "12:30" gleaming in red on the overhead digital clock
im "punctually late".
cool shit? =/
i walked down the corridor..
peering into the labs for ppl
but i see none.
so where have they gone to? o.O
i put down my bag and shrugged on my lab coat to cont walking down towards the other end of the corridor..
only to find sf playing with the mice
omg, they're so cute. =X
work in the lab was pathetic for today actually
only had to change media
which was done in like less den 10mins
and i had to open my big mouth and tell dawn that its a bit too early to knock off since its only 1.40pm
she told me to go seed my flasks after that. -.-"
oh well, i also made new stock for one of my reagents
and replenished some of the perishable equipment
and also, updated my attendance log..
*i recorded that i came in at 930h and left at 1500h punctually every day. =X*so i guess today was quite productive nonetheless. =)
now for some updates of my boredom murderers
*stuff that kills my boredom, get it? =X*since i've run out of tv series, im back to games
i juz installed RA3..
like finally.
ppl have been saying that it sux
dat its relli nt worth the time
but as a collector, i wld rather complete it and be able to confidently proclaim: "I have played RA3, one of the most outrageous pathetic-excuse-for-an-RTS-game-to-have-ever-been-created."
and now i realise that wad i planned to proclaim was an understatement.
omfg, RA3 is..
*insert out of this world adjectives that properly describes the standard of the game here*enough said. =/
my lab partner will be back tmr
well, there's v little work to be done tmr anyway
i just need to assay one plate
that's abt it.
i can spend most of the time playing solitaire even while im doing the absorbance readings
yes, im that bored.
entertain me. =/
true peace..i guess it really doen't exist.
peace through power.
don't force me to unleash the horrors that i'm capable of
wyd inscribed diz at 11:30 PM
short day in sch today
reached sch at arnd 12.30pm
juz came in to do calcein assay on 3 plates
left sch at arnd 4pm+
how sick is that?
lol
i relli did nth much today
i didnt eat in sch today, as usual..
reached home, ate, sat in frnt of the com and watched house
now im up to date with the current episode that's being aired in the US
that's both a gd and bad thing, no matter how u look at it. =/
i still havent gotten the mood to get back to playing Mother 3,
but im back on FM~! lolz!
defender problem solved!
evans is sold, and..
i'll stick to 9 defenders!
and pray hard one of them gets seriously injured n be out of action for months!! XD
*like datz a practical way of solving the prob* =Xmy nokia headset is seriously annoying me
the sound comes out frm only one side!
GRR~!!!
i nid to get a replacement soon or i'll go crazy!!
o.O
wyd inscribed diz at 11:14 PM
damn im hungry..
cooking 3 packets of maggi curry rite now
haha~
dont need to appear so stunned.
datz becoz my bro wanted some of the maggi
datz why i cooked extra
my limit is still 2 packets at one go
im nt a crazy monster dat eats so much food okay.. =/
lets talk abt sch
fyp.. is pretty much screwed up
had my first contamination today
some of the wells in my 96 well plate got contaminated!! =(
oh well, it was also a gd thing,
coz dat meant dat i didnt have to assay those plates juz now. =X
and i finally started updating my logbook
i sure did pick up a bad habit of nt updating logbooks since aussie
lolz~
i havent been eating in sch lately
coz im trying to save $$$ and time
eating is such a chore..
*yes, u hrd me right.. i hate eating.. its a freaking waste of time. i don't take pleasure in eating.. but u won't like me when im hungry. =X*i can be waaayy more productive if i don't have to eat every day. =/
moving on to tv shows..
its the season finale of little nyonya today,
but who cares?
lol.
*yes, im nt gonna say anything else other den "who cares?" coz seriously, WHO CARES? =P*i started playing mother 3 ytd
and i found the gfx to be.. unappealing
and the battle mechanism to be.. lame.
lol.
who the hell wld wanna synchronize tapping of the A button with the bg music of the game to deal combo dmg?
its a freaking waste of time!
esp when u nid to grind on stupid mobs to gain lvl
i'd rather spam A button and get the battle over and done with quickly
or even, activate the Autofire A function since im using a gba emulator
geez.
damned game reviews that gave it a 10/10.
i'd rather replay back swordcraft story 1
at least that's more interesting
and that's exactly wad im doing right now. o.O
talking abt games, i forgot to mention that i finally completed a game which i cldnt complete years ago!
i played star wars ep 1 racer many yrs back
but i cldnt complete the game coz my com sucked
so it was lagging all over
so i can't steer my pod racer properly
but now with my beloved desktop which i adore soo much..
*i spent 1.7k of my own cash on it, of coz must love it. DUH.*i finally managed to unlock all the pod racers!
even the 4 engine guy which in the star wars movie, was stranded at the starting line coz the engine is screwed.. before sending the engines flying on a collision course when he tried to fix the prob.
its so cool~!
*okay.. im seriously bored.*oh well, my maggi is done.
hopefully my bro won't have too much comments on my cooking diz time
he complained that my noodles were soggy and the soup was too thick the last time i cooked for him
but i love soggy noodles.. =(
and there's a reason why i prefer call it japanese curry noodles
coz the soup is thick.
*i've mastered the art of adding a "just nice" amount of water to make v concentrated soup when cooking maggi.. mwahahahaha..*itadakimasu~! =D
wyd inscribed diz at 11:45 PM
back to blogging for the 2nd day in a row
i hope i can keep this running. =D
woke up at 11.45am today
first reaction: "OH SHIT!!!"
coz i usually watch tv every sunday morning
11.30am - GX5 @ oktoits the sg version of power rangers
its hilariously lame! <-- datz the main reason i watch it
LOL~!
*and for those paedophiles out there, Kim Wakerman stars in the show*talking abt shows,
i've been spending time catching up on my fav US tv series such as Heroes and House
well, im done with season 3 of Heroes
and still halfway thru season 5 of House
lets hope it can sustainably keep me preoccupied for the mth
im too lazy to hunt for new shows.. =/
i've been really rotting at hm lately
if u checked my profile page, under the xfire profile..
u can see that is spent quite some time playing solitaire
that's how bored i can get. lol~
*the irony!! "solit-aire/ude"*
*the abv phrase is nv meant to make sense*im serious; that phrase is juz meant to be there for fun
im juz too bored here. lolactually, i've been spending quite some time playing Football Manager 2009
*or.. FM in short*i have no idea since when i picked up soccer
but yeah, im the jack of all trades that doesn't mind playing all sorts of game genres
since its a strategy game, i found affinity for it
but lately, im spending lesser time on the game
im getting a bit bored of it i guess..
im torn between which defender i wld sell
the issue: (skip this if u don't appreciate soccer) =)
*i have 10 defenders, and i only nid 8 of them since im using 4-4-2 and alternate between 2 teams of 4 defenders for every match.. dont tell me to switch to 5-3-2 coz i have 10 midfields which i nid to rotate arnd in every match too.. i've sold jonny evans since hes like 23 in my game and performing pathetically as compared to my 19 yr old wonderkids.. im trying to offload the old birds, i sold o'shea long ago, but im nt selling my star defenders like ferdinand and vidic.. and if i sell wes brown, ferdinand aka. my legendary centre-back will get unhappy.* =(back to other lame games that i've been playing these few days
armorgames.com has quite a variety of cool flash games to keep you occupied if you're seriously bored
the best game i've ever played in that site previously was
Sonnyits an rpg genre, with the battle mechanics similar to the classic Final Fantasy
and recently, they released the sequel,
Sonny 2nice game mechanics, and nt such a bad story line for a flash game
highly recommendable if u're bored and u're and rpg-lover
summary of the plot:
u woke up on the ship, as a zombie, hunted by authorities
u lost ur memory, so u embark on a journey to find out wth happenedi've already completed the game tho. =X
*if u wanna play straight frm ur com, u can ask me for the swf file. save it in ur thumbdrive and u have a game which u can straightaway play on any computer. =)*last but not least, i've juz gotten my hands on the highly acclaimed gba rpg called "Mother 3"
*dont ask me why games these days have weird titles which put ppl off frm playing it.. when they're actually GREAT games..*its supposed to be in japanese, as there is no US release of the game
but there's a fan-based translation patch
so now the game works in eng. =D
i've still yet to try the game
maybe tmr i can update on how gd the game is
but still, as i've said..
its HIGHLY acclaimed as one of the best rpg on gba currently,
so the standard shld be there. =)
*anyone interested in this game, can also get it frm me. =)*so yeah, im rotting at hm today
my dad asked me to go to my grandma's hse today actually
but it was raining quite heavily
and my dad asked me to drive my uncle's rented car
its been ages since i last drove
so i didnt go..
i'd rather drive in a perfect weather to ensure nth bad happens. =/
well, that's quite a long update
im back to my blogging spree~
have a great weekend ppl! =D
wyd inscribed diz at 2:48 PM
i used to enjoy blogging
words just flow so freely frm my fingertips
that was me a few mths ago
so, wad happened?
i just dont appreciate certain ppl to read my posts
and use it against me
but it doesn't matter now.
i fight for my own cause
without a care for the world.
i've always cared abt how ppl see me as
i dont want to give a bad impression to ppl
i do things for the sake of my image in frnt of others
but by doing this, im trapping myself
i've been locking my inner soul away..
yes, i'm self-centered. count the number of "I"s i used
you have a problem with that?
i finally found the solace that i've always seeked
now i understand why ppl gets so vulnerable at this pt of time
they juz nid someone to be there to hear them out
it's just too bad that i grew up in solitude
i was born alone
i can survive with or without friends---
in any case, lets end the gloomy mood here
i juz changed my blog song again. =)
a few mths ago, i did get hooked onto this song
"Rosier" by High and Mighty Color
i didnt want to use it as my blog theme song as nt many ppl wld appreciate diz kind of music
but oh well, heck.
brand new yr, anything goes. =P
i make my own rules
if you have a problem with that,
there's always the "X" at the top right corner of this window. =D
