PS2 gathering??


Yes somehow yesterday night Selwin, Alden, Ruth and Jarrod came to my house to play my ps2...there are only quite a few multiplayer games such as Dragonball 2, Soul Calibur 3, etc... I was in a bad mood from the genomics exam so i was actually kind of venting my anger on these fighting games. Kind of expected, when we played Dragonball, Selwin's Piccolo and Trunks combination (which is supposed to be the best team in the game) got thrashed by my kid team of Gohan and Trunks (who supposedly have 3 life bars lesser than their adult counterpart...), and before that he said if he lose he wont play Dragonball with me anymore, with a sulky expression...(since he lost i dunno whether he will play Dragonball with me again...lol..). Alden is kind of good for a beginner in that he can master Kilik (the one with the staff) in Soul Calibur 3 (i am one myself actually..), i think he can reach the level of one of best character in Maxi (the one with the nuchaku). As usual Selwin always uses some cheat moves to win... Jarrod was kind of interested only in his laptop and his political ambitions webbies....and Ruth first time playing somehow can spam all the skills that i have never seen in the game before, but it was irritating since she was giggling all the time. She then insisted on playing Dance Dance Revolution Supernova so we tried that one...although i am kind of bad with the controller...she was always 1 grade lower than me...then she complained if she is not pregnant she will thrash me in the arcade...lol..like i can dance in the arcade....hmph...

Genomics Exam


This morning, I woke up at 8am so i could go to uni early just to browse through the notes..I had to buy a regular cappucino at Darwin (the biological sciences library cafe) so it could prevent me from falling sleep halfway through studying...lol... But it turns out to be a nightmare, cos although i have been camping in my room for the past 5 days...it turns out to be so hard...you might as well dun bother studying...its not worth the effort..I mean who the hell would come out a question about the ENCODE project and what year it is established...its not really biologically relevant anyway...you can guess who it is..(Melissa Brown sux as always...) And theres one with the diagram listing 5 bars and asking us to write what are the annotations of organisms to the genome size...who would bother to study the stupid diagram anyway...although it is quite common sense (Yu Leng and Sally somehow got it wrong...lol). Virus definitely has the smallest genome size but somehow Sally wrote it as 10^7 bp....lol...i was laughing until stomachache when i heard about this...When everyone left the lecture hall, they had those "soul leaving the body" expression and i was one of them...i was so in a bad mood that i couldn bother to listen to Matt Sweet immunology lecture...even until now when i am writting this blog...

A Break From Studying???


Yeah well last saturday, i went to Yeow Keong's house for pot luck and to celebrate his birthday during the evening...and i can also take some break from studying my genomics exam...lol.. He said i need to cook something so i cook some french fries. However after a while, they turn soggy...but somehow everyone ate them all!!! I was really surprised by this...maybe its because Selwin and Jarrod took a long time to deep fry their chicken wings and everyone was hungry from either talking too much, playing mahjong too much, or playing Wii too much... For me...i was the latter...lol, since i nv played a Wii before, i tried a few games such as tennis, boxing and bowling... Bowling was quite boring. I dun quite enjoy tennis either since i was always being thrashed by Alden who somehow know some cheat way to hit the ball at the edge of the court... Boxing was the most tiring game ever, i mean we have to like box the air so hard...my muscles were aching the next day...its worse than doing 5 cycles of chin-ups...However, the most fun is definitely guitar heroes 3....well somehow it turned out to be quite good in medium difficulty although i have nv played the guitar before, and i think i have a good partner in Ruth who is really good in music coordination probably due to her piano background....It turns out that we got tired of playing Wii so i brought my PS2 to his house...and Selwin was really happy when it turned out that the Dragonball have colour (My TV dun have colour..dunno how to set the settings...) It was really a good break from studying though...

Sunnybank???


yes i know my blog is rotting again...cos theres nothing interesting happening in uni and im too busy to blog during the weekdays...anyway Selwin and gang went to Sunnybank today so i like tag along...if u all dunno...Sunnybank is a suburb 4 zones away from the city and it is like a taiwanese district where u can buy cheap asian groceries and chinese restaurants...somehow there is a Singaporean restaurant selling hainanese chicken rice and char kway teow...so we went there to eat for lunch.. The standard was ok...the portion was huge though...i think the KTV at Woolonggabba serve the best food so far i think...


After that we went to buy some groceries and then they went home...while me and Selwin went to try the KTV there...lol....nv sing 1 wk can die i suppose..and guess what...the name of the KTV outlet is called Xin Tian Di..somehow its so coincidental with the one in Singapore, which is a lap sup bar though...while the one here is actually decent!!! its $20.80 for 3 hrs with meals...though the meal is such a small portion compared to Woolongabba...oh well...there are many more songs here in Sunnybank so i prefer to go there next time...


Next, we went back to the casino in the city to look for the rest...i cant enter with my backpack so i have to put it inside Selwin's sling bag and enter from the back door so the security guards wont recognise me..(dunno why they accept sling bag and reject backpacks...they are both bags anyway..) Actually i wanted to put it in the locker...but its like $5 for 5 hrs!!! thats madness...However the one thing that made me mad was the stupid security guard inside who asked me for my ID again!!!...i know i look young but im definitely look over 18 right??? Then we spent the next 2-3 hrs looking at their friend Dennis gambling in the casino..i think i learn something new in dice and blackjack....


So far, i think the trip today is quite enjoyable, except for the irritating asthma attack sound that Ruth and gang always make...duh...
