Good evening readers!
It’s been like….almost a month since I last posted anything?!?
Sorry man! I was kind of busy…and in some case…a little lazy to type out a post.
Since today’s a public holiday, I shall update you a little on my life.
I have officially graduated from ITE College East as of 15th April 2007!!!
I received my final GPA on that day and statement of result a few days later. It was a tough semester but I finally made it!
Whew this 2 years spent in ITE was fruitful and blessed.
Learning many new things and excelling in areas unimaginable. Truly God is great!
However…due to NS, I am unable to obtain a deferment anymore, as I used up all of it last time when I retook my O Levels.
It’s a little sad seeing my friends going to poly and furthering their studies while I have to wait another 2-3 years before I enter.
Well…it’s a little blessing in disguise anyway lol.
I have time to prepare my port folio which consists of some games that I am going to program to show to whoever’s in charge of the course that I want to go.
Yes…you read it right…port folio man.
The course that I want to enter (Digital Entertainment Technology) does not allow ITE students to enter just by applying; you need to show them a port folio of your work!
Man…sucks yeah.
But it’s ok; I’ll explore and learn things on my own.
So these 2 months I’ve been like exploring C++ and Java languages, game libraries, game tutorials, game programming forums and keeping a close eye on the game industry.
There are quite a lot of cool happenings in the game industry this last 2 months.
One of the sad things is that the ‘Father’ of Playstation, Ken Kutaragi is retiring. I do not know the exact details but it seems like he was backstabbed in his own company. Can you believe it man.

If it wasn’t for his invention, the Playstation, I would not be even thinking of joining the game industry and working so hard right now to create a port folio.
Good bye Father of Playstation. Many years from now I’ll still remember you for providing me fun and also a career.
Alright now back to what I am currently doing. Well, after being at home for a month and doing my port folio, I’ve gotten a part time job back at the ITE where I graduated! I’ll be assisting the teachers in lessons man!
COOOOOL!
I’ll be helping out in Multimedia Essentials in the day and IT Essentials in the night. I’ll be helping out both Higher NITEC and NITEC classes man!
Sooooo cool! Not only will I get paid, I get to refresh and remember what I learned previously!
LOL!
Truly God is great eh?
Many blessings start to pour right after I finished my building fund.
Christian readers, truly when you built God’s house, He will build your house!
Oh yes I just received a letter not long from CMPB.
I’ve finally been enlisted into the army.
After 20 odd years of waiting, the day has finally arrived!
Ever since I was a kid reading about NS and the likes, I’ve been wondering when the time will come and in the blink of an eye, the day arrives.
I’ll be entering on the 13th July, a Friday the 13th yes, into the 41st Singapore Armoured Regiment.
Some of my friends from ITE are entering too, so thank God at least I have some familiar faces in the army with me.
The future is amazing huh. You never know what will happen next.
Only God knows and He directs your every steps.
I want to see more of God in my life as I continue to move in this thing called time. I do not know what will happen but I’m going to stick around Him, regardless of circumstances.
So Christian readers, I’ll pray for your walk with Him and you pray for me too yeah?
Alright man I’m going to resume my stuff now.
Thanks for reading and God bless!
