Darn I just can’t stop playing Monster Hunter Freedom 2!!!!! In my mind whenever I pick up the PSP, I am always thinking about how to get this armour, how to get this weapon and how to get this particular material. I don’t understand why one of my platoon mate does not like such a cool game. I mean you can solo and earn as much money and gain as much material you like and create armour and weapons to use in multiplayer battles man! The concept of Monster Hunter Freedom 2 is soooo simple and yet it is freaking addictive and fun! Sad to say…Monster Hunter 3 is heading towards the Wii. Damn Capcom (producers of the game), they always betray gamers that buy games exclusively for a gaming system (in this case the Playstation family of gaming systems) and then ABANDON them when they got rich selling the games and went to another system (in this case, usually it’s Nintendo). It’s not the first time Capcom does such a thing…it happened to Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and now Monster Hunter. Ah screw you Capcom, just wait for the GGDE to prove it to you about being loyal to your customers!
Lol sorry for ranting too much…it’s just that the way Capcom handle my favorite game franchises really piss me off. Ah went for cell group meeting today and the message was great! It was about dealing with discouragement man. There are a lot of shits in life that you can continue to dwell on and keep thinking endless negative thoughts on it, or, you can either choose to think about it for awhile and FIGHT ON. Discouragement in fact is actually a CHOICE. Either you think positively or let discouraging thoughts overrun you. Simple eh? I like to thank God for this message as pastor had preached something similar about it when I was a new Christian. If I had continued to dwell on discouraging and negative thoughts, I wouldn’t be who I am right now. I would have been a wreck! It’s cool that the message had reminded me that there is an almighty God that is always thinking good and positive things about you, no matter how terrible you might be. So I thank God I gave up the negative and discouraging thoughts so many years ago and instead put my trust in Him and develop positive, encouraging thoughts about life and everything. It is also Him that had transformed me to who I am now. Although…well some residue remains I am determined that together with His help I will do my best to eliminate the remaining nonsense. THANK YOU LORD FOR SAVING ME!!!!
Sigh…so many things to do, yet so little time. The year is coming to a close soon huh. I actually saw the NTUC near my house set up its Christmas decoration. And it’s not even anywhere close to the day yet! I feel like typing a reflection for this year but I am too brain tired to think of it. Perhaps while traveling to and fro church I’ll think about it. I got to go sleep now…need to wake up for service. Thanks for reading and God bless!

Hello! Just came back not long from church. Man, Arise and Built is here! What’s that you wondered? Well it’s a season where we sow into a building fund to buy a new building! I pledge a break through amount this time round….man lots of things have to forego! But for God, it’s worth it. If you have read my past posts, you have seen how God have help and impacted my life. So it’s my turn to help Him!
Been playing this game called Monster Hunter Freedom 2 recently in camp and it was a blast! Killing huge bogey monsters and collecting their body parts to fashion it into weapons and armour really rocks! There are sooooo many different types with different stats man! There are roughly 11 weapon types to choose from and by utilizing one of them, you are transformed into a particular style of playing. Best of all, there are no leveling in the game! How strong and good your character is determined by your items and your strategies! Best of all, if you cannot defeat a particular boss monster, you can enlist the help of 3 other friends wirelessly and kick the monster’s ass! Cool eh? Get the full info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Hunter_Portable_2 Highly recommended by me!
Before I came back home…I received an SMS from Jun Hao. We’re to report back to camp at 9.30pm….I was like….!@#$%! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? No answer. Have to return camp early to find out. Gosh…why oh why…
Alright…that should be all for this week…got to go back to my programming….till the next post, God bless!

Good morning!
As I type out this post, I have just returned from my platoon mate Jun Hao’s 21st birthday bash!
Quite a number of our platoon personnel attended and the food was great. It was a great atmosphere to hang around outside of camp and we had a great time eating, talking trash, laughing, fighting, singing birthday songs and eating cakes and of course, birthday boy sabotage!
LOL I was smacked in the face with a cake from a surprise attack by the birthday boy -.-||
Nevertheless it was a great party and we departed around 10pm. TJ, Brandon and his girlfriend departed with me and we headed home via the MRT.
Right now let’s get down to some updates on what has happened since my last post.
October has ended and November has finally arrived! That means 6 more months to ORD!
191 more days! YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
The countdown is still ongoing!
Darn can’t wait for 100 days, then 30 days, then 10 days, then finally 24 hours!
ARRRRHHHHHHHHHH!
Recently I saw something that interests me in NYP’s DET main page:
“Entry Requirements We are looking for students with the passion for digital entertainment and media related work. Our entry requirements are students from GCE O levels, ITE graduates and other talented individuals with a good portfolio. Come, join the digital entertainment revolution!”
Oh wow. That is so cool -.-||.
Finally you place such shit after I had applied to TP.
WHAT THE SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT.
Another thing is, MUST I MAKE A FREAKING PORTFOLIO?!?!
This has always been in my mind ever since I wanted to enter this course and this is the!@#$% stupid criteria that they have posted.
And also, this mini sentence that they had placed on their website still doesn’t clearly define much about ITE entry requirements besides the portfolio route.
You might say, “Eric, isn’t this clear enough?”
Honestly, to me, NO!
I mean, those !@#$% O levels students with NO BACKGROUND on IT or game development related stuff can apply using their damn results while ITE students with freaking good results CAN’T AND MUST PRODUCE A FREAKING PORTFOLIO?!?
What kind of logic is that? You mean we ITE students ain’t that capable as some 17 year old O level students?
Academically, perhaps not, but skills wise, YES.
Then what’s the point of having an ITE where you give false hope to those that has proven and hone their skills?
Oh wow. And when was the window for application? February or March right?
Wow wow wow.
Even my blog update faster than THEIR highly technologically, impressively, inspiring colourful bullshit.
Damn when I applied back in March, they did not accept ITE students. Therefore I have to apply for TP’s game development course because I WANT TO STUDY AND BECOME A GOOD GAME PROGRAMMER.
Is it that hard? I mean didn’t I work hard in ITE?
Now I have to wait for February to come along.
Now I have to try and see whether I have the chance to apply into NYP by resubmitting my application.
Now I must rush to create a portfolio if I am accepted.
Now I must prepare for a entry interview.
Now I must think of a way to get out of army if I manage to enroll into the course in April 2009.
Now I must start to read all my IT ebooks like crazy!
Man.
So much troubles in my education career.
I know and I know that man is never consistent therefore this sudden hope popped up.
I’ve been praying over this for many days now.
God oh God…please give me an answer and a plan.
Please show me the road, Lord. Is this the correct road and lane that I am taking?
The course in NYP is my dream course and will I be able to get in if I resubmit my application Lord?
Or do I remain in TP and fight for my future in that school?
Sigh.
Anyway, I got to go sleep now, didn’t had much sleep yesterday.
