4 those who use Friendster and the like.. u mite wanna read this

another thing.. yesterday went 2 school and actually made $$$!!! :D:D
after comp graphics lecture.. there was a survey abt msn messenger and ICQ
the good things was.. each participant was paid $10!!!! :D:D:D
10 ‘free’ bucks!! :D:D
i guessings the ppl had links 2 m$ or something.. coz i dont really c who else would want such statistics so badly… $10 a person is quite a lot…
guess M$ just wanting 2 know their standing in the IM wars…

anyway… had 2 long days.. yesterday 9-12 and 4-6. 2day 10-12 and 2-5..
2moro at least no lab.. but next week there will be :|:|:|
then on thurs comp graphics lab also :|:|

AND also an econs test!! :”(:”(
now really wondering if i shld go 2 IES movie marathon this sat…
any opinions on that? shld i go?

loooong day it has been.
9-11 tut. 11-12 break.
12-2 lecture. 2-5 lab.

been checking out http://n2cg.huasing.org/
contemplating whether 2 join or not.. 4 CS at least
but the problems r…
1) no team
2) no training
3) no team
4) need team 2 train
5) no team
:P:P
so.. in other words.. need a team…. :P
but also.. time is also a factor.. not sure if i can handle the competition which is supposed to be held like in the end of Feb.. when im having my mid terms!!!! then also core modules labs start next week :|
microP gonna pretty bad i tink.. 50% project :|
and need 2 learn assembly language…
not only that.. but need 2 do my OWN stuff :P
ok.. maybe im hoping 4 2 much.. but still..
i want time 4 myself… 2 do the stuff i want..
well.. i guess something has 2 be sacrificed :”(:”(

anyway… give myself another 5 min break b4 resuming work..
electronics :S:S:S also seems like i dunno how 2 do that!!! :”(:”(
and its a 3mc module… just hope its like signals :P.. well in a way… well… actually.. NO :P ahhhh watever….

not only that.. but a ‘scandal’ has arisen in the IES community in the NUS IVLE…. the problem is.. it kinda involves me.. :”(:”(
sigh.. life…
anyway.. resume my break :P

well not ‘just’ back… walked all the way back from SRC to PGP :P practically cross campus :(
came back all tired… stamina is so killed :P:$
came back surfed a while and just showered…

now…. need 2 work.. :P
graphics, econs, circuits i guess :S :'(
anyway… maybe break till quarter past the hr… which is supposed 2 be 1715… but dunno what time the post is gonna be :P
need 2 edit that.. but lazy :P

it works!!!! after hrs of frustration and @&*^!&*$^!&*$^! my opengl stuff actually works!!!! :D:D:D

lots of freaking *!&!^$&!^$! errors.. alwez had the linker error..
tried loads of stuff from getting files from the net, whalbar, cd, website…
initially i didnt have the opengl dll and glu lib and header files. finally got those and kept getting the freaking linker error w/ Dev-C++…
i wasnt sure if the configuration and all that were correct so tried to get Borland C++BuilderX that i read works in some opengl tutorial that i cant seem 2 find anymore :”(:”(

i did what all the online faqs/ tutorials suggested i do.. and still it didnt work!!!! 1st of all they ALWEZ give configuration in Visual C++ so if u dont have that u r practically screwed… no real help 4 u… so here i am left on my own…
i downloaded the C++BuilderX like 3 times!!! the 1st 2 times using Stardownloader via the ftp site.. either somethings wrong w/ the ftp site giving a corrupt file or stardownloader is screwed up when it combines the files coz i got header errors and it couldnt unzip properly!!!! the file itself was 300+MB!!!!! thank goodness im on NUS network :P but still took like an hr 2 download…

so here in tutorial i was ‘bored’ and really wanting 2 get the thing working…
spent at least 3hrs yesterday tryin 2 debug the problem..
at least C++BuilderX gave useful error msgs. found out it was some problem w/ the lib files.. needed to convert them to omf format or something.
finally did that but it still didnt work… got some new error!! i was kinda happy coz at least i didnt have the usualy linker error.. but still it didnt work!!! :”(:”(
so decided to mix and match files as i have diff versions and diff files from diff sources… and FINALLY it works!!! heck i dont even know which files i am currently using but i DONT CARE!!! it works!! thats all i know hehe :D
so finally i can program opengl programs on my comp.. *phew*
hopefully this can save me for CS3241 Computer Graphics… well actually… maybe not :P
ok.. now better start paying attention 2 circuits tutorial :P
but at least its ‘easy’ :P:P

i admit i did ‘get up’ 4 a while and notice my a/c was off coz i set it 2 auto switch off at abt 830…
then i trickle back off 2 sleep…
then lo and behold, what happens??
the freaking fire alarm rings like its nobody’s business!!!! @$!&*$^!&*^$&*!^$
its a holiday!!! no1 has school 2day.. so we dont need an overzealous alarm clock ringing for like 5min in the morn!!!!
still tired.. feel like goin back 2 sleep.. but gotta work.. :”(:”(
tink i’ll start a bit of work 1st then maybe sleep later :P

yup. been studyin 4 the past 2 days.
need 2 catch up on work and lectures that i skipped 4 the IES Fair 2004. :P

and yup.. i did survive on 2+hrs sleep that day (last day of ies fair 2004):|
all the way till abt 12 midnite..

well lets c what happend over the past few days.
the 1st day of the fair was wc3: TFT competition.
turn out was good despite the rain. some good matches. replays r downloadable from here from the IES website
2nd day was rainin as well but it was a good finals match :D
congrats 2 the winners and thank you 4 all the participants who played :D
gunbound competition was more exciting than i thought :P
but i tink i still prefer worms… grenade only match :P
speaking of worms.. i wanna play worms3d!!!! where sells it?? :'(

2 day nite i was doing security duty. the nite i slept 2 hrs.. spent the time clearing up the IES comp via remote desktop due to lack of HD space and also ended up playin q3 w/ wooi boy from like 5-7 i tink :P
q3 is fun… wanna have that in next ies fair :P

the last day it didnt rain so quite a lot of ppl came. the gunbound crowd was more than i expected :P skipped all my lectures on that day :P
then after the whole thing was over it was pack up time.
packed everything up then it was celebration time!!!
steamboat dinner at marina bay :D:D
came back that nite at abt 12..
the splet all the way till 12 the next afternn ;p
12 hrs sleep.. :P:P
12 + 2 = 14hrs for 2 days averaging out 2 abt 7 which is good enuf i tink :P

spent yesterday catchin up on work and 2day as well..
was kinda bored this morn esp w/ like 1.5gb free space of my HD.
so decided to move a few stuff on2 my external HD.. and then waht? get like 9+gb free!!!!! :P
hehe. so i installed max payne that i bought the other day, hehe.
wanna play that now :P but not much time :(.. just play bit by bit :D
anyway.. i tink i better sleep.. 2moro need 2 work more :'(:”(
