Hello readers,
Wow it's already 2007! I'm sorry that I have not being updating for some time. I have so many things to do yet so little time!
As I type this post out on my mobile phone, yes my shiny new Pocket PC phone, at a foodcourt while waiting for my food to arrive,I can't help but to think that so much has happened in 2006 and in between my last post. 2006 has truly been a great blessing from the Lord and also His presence has been ever more real to me. Truly in times of trial and tribulations, when you cried out to Him, He never fails to answer.
He is good all the time Amen.
2006 is the year which I participated in so many competition that I never done before in my entire life. From small to big I’ve participated in all and thanks to the Lord, I’ve managed to come out stronger and wiser.
Also many screw up occurred last year and also beginning of this year and I would like to thank those that have given me the chance for correction. Thank you to you guys out there.
As I continue to wait for my food at the foodcourt near Macdonald's in Ang Mo Kio Central,I can't help but marvel at the immerse changes that has occurred here.
So much colour and life! Even the seat I'm seated at, I wondered how people from all ages has sat on it.
I was born in Ang Mo Kio and lived here during the early years of my life before I moved to Yishun. Most of my relatives also lived in Ang Mo Kio and some still remain there till this day.
Oh yes today’s Chinese New Year Eve! Here I am in Ang Mo Kio doing some last minute shopping. LOL I am a late shopper.
I just bought my Converse shoes using the vouchers I won in Innovate IT, a competition I participated at SMU last year. You saw that Olivia on the Channel 5 Infocomm show? She was the chairman for the competition I participated lol.
Coming to 2007 also signal the end of my ITE education. As I type out this post today, I’m 3 weeks away from graduating.
2 years flew real fast. It seems just like yesterday that I stepped into ITE, determined to enter polytechnic after I graduate. So here I am, 2 years later, my dreams almost coming true. ALMOST.
The course that I want to get into, Digital Entertainment Technology, also known as DET in NYP, is an extremely difficult course to get in with very few intakes each year.
What’s so special about this course is that you are taught how to make games. Yes you saw correctly, GAMES.
Ever since young I’ve almost been day dreaming, yes even till today lol.
I’ve been day dreaming of alternate realities, what if scenarios, crazy ideas and people.
When I played my first computer game, Incubation, I’ve decided to enter into the gaming industry and have never looked back since.
Games can bring all my crazy ideas, people and world to life in a realistic yet safe manner!
All these time I’ve been preparing and learning about the various skills needed to enter this industry and praise the Lord this game programming course started!
I’ve decided to use my final GPA to see whether I am able to enter which if unsuccessful, I am going to spent the next 2 years in NS to create a portfolio of games to enter this course.
I seriously do not know where and what will happen after I graduate. I have plans but I really do not know whether they will succeed.
It’s real frustrating…not knowing what will happen.
God please teach me and guide me during this period.
I wonder after my NS, if I couldn’t secure a place this time, whether I stand a high chance to enter man.
Never mind I shall not dwell on it now and continue to push forward.
Alright on to the next topic!
This week my team for my video production module started filming our video, with the theme ‘A Teenage Life’.
However, we have a twist to it all. I’m not going to tell you what is it but once it’s done I’ll post it on YouTube for all you guys to see.
So stay tune for it lol.
Oh yes since yesterday I’ve started playing this game called Audition!
My classmate Jasmine introduced it to me and another classmate, Farhan, is also playing it so out of curiosity I downloaded it to have fun and understand the idea and game concept.
It’s kind of like DDR except that it’s online and you’re playing with many other real people at once. The graphics are also better too.
Most importantly, it’s FUN! I can’t stop playing it man, if you play that game, whisper to my nickname at ShiJie.
Alright man my food has arrived and I’m going to stop here.
Here I am wishing you a Happy Chinese New Year and all the best for the upcoming year!
God bless!
