New Logos!

I created two new logos this morning for my blog.



Gamesterz Logo


Gamefreakz logo

I pixel-drew these using Paint. Please give comments on where I should place them.

And I was wondering if anybody knew how to make favicons for Blogger. You know, those small little icons that appear next to your URL. Thanks

March Holidays

Lo and behold, the holidays are back again! But 'holiday' does not seem to fit the description. As usual we have loads to do. We have 3 projects yet to be completed - Project work, Chinese and Literature, and 2 tests after the hols ends - Chem and Bio. What holiday is this?! We can't even enjoy one week. Ah can't help it. Monday will be spent on Initial D and Chinese Project at Junneng's house. Xiaotian and I will do Project work today by communicating over the Internet. Lit project not fixed yet.

Two days will be put aside to study for Chem and Bio, because they are important.One more day used for Leadership Course. So 5 days are confirmed used up.

But I am damned satisfied with my results

Common Test Final-Ever-Update

Chinese - 57.1
English - 56.7

All results

Art 58
English 56.7
Geography 96
Higher Chinese 57.1
History 85
Literature 66
Mathematics 70
Science 74

Miraculously, the Chinese paper's mark was based only on the composition. So even though Chia Lek Ki marked biasedly against the Boys (Xiaotian only scored 24/35!), I still got 20/35. And my English was rounded off to a decimal place. So my average is 70.35! A whopping A!!!!! Although Wang Jun got 70.46, but at least I caught up with him. I am very satisfied. An A! Woooooo. Can't help for Art though. You must have talent, unless you are talking about digital art. That's easy. Chinese, I just don't have Chinese brains. English, if its not based solely on Comprehension and especiall SUMMARISING, I can bet you I would score. Now I feel like working hard for all papers. This is so much different from last year, so slack. I must strive to be the top ten in class. And everyone must work hard together, so that 210 will not be labelled as a class with lousy academic results any more! Majulah 210!

Blog Skin

I now officially announce Gamesterz blog open to public. The new skin is 100% done up! Any suggestions appreciated. I am also considering moving my blog to gamesterz.blogspot.com.

Today was a fun day. Malay ended 30 minutes earlier. Xiaotian, Joshua and I took a cab t0 Jurong Point for another session of Initial D. First, we went to Bossini to buy a T-shirt, as Joshua did not have one. The cheapest was $9 but Joshua did not like the design and said he would throw it away after use. Xiaotian helped Joshua to look for a cheap but good shirt, and while he was looking, Joshua and I did faces on a mirror. People in the shop must have thought we were crazy. Xiaotian found one shirt costing $16 and told Joshua that if he pays $2, Xiaotian would buy the shirt and lend him to wear his. It was a good deal, as both sides gained. Joshua "rented" the shirt for 2 dollars, and Xiaotian gets a cheap and nice shirt.

We then went to change in one of the toilets. A cleaner stared at us as we walked into one cubicle to change. After we were changed, somebody knocked on the door and told us to come out. Joshua and I went out and saw it was a security guard. He reprimanded us of our behaviour as we were laughing in one cubicle. He said that although we were changing, people might think otherwise. The guard went away after Joshua and I told him we would not do it again. And I bet it was the cleaner who complained. Anyway, Joshua and I were both wearing T-shirts with Nanhua shorts, so we got chased out of the arcade. Very unlucky. First the guard, now the uniform.

We walked around clothing shops and looked at the prices of shorts. The cheapest was 36 bucks and I had 8 in my wallet so it was totally out of my budget. Joshua suddenly thought of an idea. He told us since Xiaotian's house was near Jurong Point, we could take a cab there and borrow 2 of his shorts. He was right. The fare there and back was 8 dollars. Joshua paid the tab. And we proceeded to the arcade. No worries this time. We played Initial D for like 2 hours and my car (RX-8 6-gear manual) had several upgrades. I can now shift as well as Xiaotian. At around 5 we parted and went home. Really a fun day.

Common test update

Chinese: 50/100
Art: 58/100

Total average of 8 subjects is 69.3. Almost won Junneng, but he had another subject, Malay to pull him up. He said that the test paper was only 5 mcqs. WTH.

Ok this post is very short, but bye I have to eat dinner.

New Skin New Beginning

Yeah I know. I am using the same title as the class blog's. Well, can't be helped. Keno and I made the skins at almost the same time. The class blog is up(finally!) and it has a new sleek/cartoonish interface. And it is pure white, unlike my blog, so gloomy and dark. Sorry, but I like black.

Ok this is Gamesterz Beta 2. 90% done. Going to be open to public soon. Of course it is now, but I will mass announce that my blog is ready and up. Currently creating logos for the titles of the sidebar. More comments and suggestions please. My MSN is online daily, for almost 5 hours.

Common Test update

My results so far:
English - 56/100
Literature-66/100
Math-70/100
Science-74/100
Geography-94/100
History-85/100

Art and Chinese yet to be known.

The average so far is 74.5, a large improvment from last year. Assuming that my Chinese and Art both score 50 each, my average would still be a cool 68.3! Waha tell me I Rock!

Now got to make the logos. More updates coming up!

Freedom

the heavy load on my shoulders
finally lifted
the pain that injures
receded
the price of the torture
paid off; found a cure
like a caged bird
or the rabbit in a trap
now free to romp in the pastures of green

Euphoria

Common tests are finally over! After a whole 8 days of continuous mugging, I can now take a well-deserved rest. So far the results are promising, scoring 24/25 for Geo, 17/20 for Hist and 34/50 for Math, a bit disappointing. To those who have not finished their common tests, perservere and you will not regret it. Tomorrow is my big break. Going to play Initial D in Jurong Point X-Zone arcade again. Since I now have so much time on my hands, I am considering making a new template soon, as I am too bored with the current one.

Trying to register at Microsoft to be a software beta tester. Hope to hear good news.
