Hey guys,
Hahaha... I'M REALLY trying to put up at least 1 post a month.
Not easy
Let's see...what i've done since the last post
Oh, i got a new game... Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Excellent game
It runs faster than L4D2 on my lappy...and better graphics than L4D2 too!
It has a really engaging storyline.
It almost felt as if i was playing the Halo game for the 1st time again...
Good game, great atmostphere...awesome music...XD
I'll elaborate more...
OH OH!!
I FINALLY PLAYED FOR YOUTH SUNDAY!
ITS LIKE THIS DAY ONCE A YEAR WHERE THE CHURCH YOUTH'S TAKE OVER THE SERVICE!
XDDD
Someone said i played well! XDD
As the guitarist...
Hmmm...
I shall talk about COD:MW2 (we shall call it MW2)
Well, the game is set somewhere in the near future...in the year 2013 i think...

*Guitar Randoms*
Well then, my first poly school holidays...XD
Sunday, June 13, 2010
WELL THEN PEOPLE,
THIS IS OFFICIALLY MY FIRST POLY HOLIDAY
AND ALSO, THE MIDDLE OF YEAR 2010!!!
And also, to update....
I'VE TRIED THE HALO: REACH BETa
ITs awesome, my friends...graphics are AMAZING.
New Armour abilities, PWNZORD...though i think the old Equipments would've done fine.
I love Armour Lock, It locks down your armour and shields, rendering immobile and INVINCIBLE while the lock is on
and the plus side? the armour lock will continue to charge while you stay in it...when it reaches a certain charge, releasing it will send out a EMP wave... As we all know, EMP waves disables ALL unshielded electronics...
While your armour is shielded... what shields your shields from shielding themselves?
Therefore, shields are wiped out as well, but leaving your "electronics" system intact.
Now the downside, Armour lock renders you immobile...And also, your shields can't recharge while you're in the lockdown.
But IMO, it has more pro's than con's..
Imagine this:
_________________________________________________________________
Jack jumps off from a ledge, and runs across the large open field.
Suddenly, across the field, incoming fire came in a stacatto of hailfire. Hammering across his helmet's screen and draining his shields.
He raised his sniper rifle, and sighted through the scopes, ignoring the shots that were peppering his already draining shields. He saw the enemy through his crosshairs, and held his breath.
He fired.
The bullet caught the opponent in the neck, taking him into a somewhat graceful spin before setting him down. Dead.
Jack paused, to reload, before realising he was out in the open. A slight blinking light appeared on the bottom left of his HUD as his motion tracker revealed a fast moving object behind him...
Jack slammed the clip back into the rifle, and in his mind, instinct took over.
In a split second, he dropped to one knee, and slammed both fists onto the ground to brace for impact.
And activated Armour Lock.
Blue light exploded from his armour, and bright crisscrossing lines resembling electrical currents cackled from his armour.
His shields were down. But in the meantime, he was safe in his armour lock.
The driver behind, who was about to run him down, however, wasn't so lucky.
Jack shut his eyes, dug his fingers deeper into the soil, and braced for impact.
The Warthog Jeep slammed straight into the lone Spartan...
...And split in half from the impact.
It exploded into smithereens, taking the driver along with it.
___________________________________________________________
See what i mean?
This is indeed a "freakin'" breakthrough.
What i didn't tell you, however, was what happened afterwards:
Take a look
_________________________________________________________________________________
Jack deactivated his armour lock, and stood up. Only to have his world go blank a moment later when a sniper, who had his sights on an immobile body in the middle of an open field, opened fire.

Alright, enough with Halo!
I'll talk more about guitar stuff on my next post...
Got my TV show on now...=p

Right guys
Sorry i haven't been posting for AGES (understatement)
Blame facebook, its addictive...and more convenient than blogging to update my status...
But i'll try to fix this...scheduling i should say
So...
What's be going on?
Well...i've not been updating for SIX FREAKIN' MONTHS
So....weeellll
I got into Singapore Poly
And well...
My course has been pretty fun
I've been:
1. sabo-ed
2. Voted
3. Chosen by my teacher to be voted as class Rep (similar to class chairman in secondary school)
Man, its such an honour.
And oh oh!!!
My whole class are L4D2 junkies, isn't that nice?
So (with reference to the title of this post), i guess you'll know what's up.
Its really addictive...in a good way
but i've fallen into game addiction trap before...so i won't again, I'll try
AND OH
There's this new game called Alan Wake on the Xbox360 (by the time this post is up... this would've been old news...see how long i've been away from the blogging world?)
We've had the honour of one of the people from the games to come and give us a talk on the game
AND HE FREAKIN' PLAYED THE GAME IN THE AUDITORIUM IN THE HUGE SCREEN
ITS LIKE WATCHING SOMEONE PLAY AN XBOX GAME IN THE CINEMA...OMG
I ALMOST FAINTED WITH PURE "DELIRIOUS-NESS"
Ohoh
And i also went trying out my guitars
I went compiling a list of guitars that i think i'll be getting
It was... i think 1 or 2 weeks before school started
I went testing guitars to see which one i would eventually buy
Went to test some high end guitars so that i could benchmark
For those benchmarks (not necessary good guitars)
I tested a:
Squire Telecaster
Fender Telecaster
(a few) Epiphone Les Paul Customs
Squire, and Fender (Squire is the lower end guitar)
Could totally tell the difference
The Squire's intonation's off at the higher frets... as in...the REALLY high frets
so i guess that's fine
But in overall sound...Fender owns (quite obviously...there's like, a 1 thousand buck difference in price)
Then for the guitars that i was gearing to get;
i tested:
1. Epiphone DOT
2. Hamer Echotone
3. Wanted to test this guitar...but it wasn't in stock (Craftsman TL40)
I went there with high expectations for both the DOT and Echotone
The $800+ DOT was tested through a $200 Fender Amp...
The $500+ (after discount) Echotone was tested through a $150+ Line6 Amp
The Echotone didn't disappoint
The DOT did
I really apologise for the Epiphone fans out there...but this was really my opinion
The reviews on both guitars i read were accurate.
The DOT does have an INSANE amount of decay and sustain (which is good) ...BUT...it lacks in tone, and the sound... was so-so
The Echotone didn't have the Sustain that the DOT was so famous for...but it did have the regular sustain time...and its sound was WAAAYYY BETTER....
As in, there was an OBVIOUS difference...even though the guitars both look exactly the same
So now, i'm saving up for that electric guitar and amp
Now for the effects rack
I'm thinking, (although i like Analog pedals) to save money...i should get an MFX
But enough on this topic
OH HEY
Speaking of guitars
I've been teaching Alyssa guitar for the holidays to earn pocket money
She's an awesome student
And her mum's real funny
She's those kind of "IN" mums...who know what internet and facebook and stuff...and also being able to be "Mums"
And Alyssa's pretty fast about learning the guitar
She's a good student
Said i was a good teacher too
That i had the patience
And i explained really well...but just sometimes moved too fast
That i'm not doing it cause i need the money (for guitar fund) but because i love to play the guitar and teach
*SWOONS*
Anyway
Sam has migrated
And we're all missing her
I still keep in touch with her though
Canada's an awful place... or so she says
What else to post?
Oh oh, classmates are awesome!!!
XD
I tried to get the class together by organising a class lunch
But didn't work out
except, maybe for my table
damn, all the outgoing girls are in my table
LOL
And for the 1st 3-4 weeks...we've been having new classmates the whole way
interesting...a new classmate every week.
And also
During the Pre-orientation briefing
The guys and i sorta formed a Class band
ROFL
Really cool
But we've yet to go jamming
No time, and we're really busy
What else...
OH OH
I've joined the SP Primers (BB for tertiary education)
ITs really cool
And because i was one of the ... 5-10 who turned up for their 1st event...
I'm sorta real friendly with them already
XD
So long, CIAO

Haha,
So much passed in the past month
Big stuff
Church Camp...MASSIVE
Uber Fun, i must say for the church camp
3 cheers for camp comm!!!
Haha, many people forced to sign up to facebook because of church camp...to get their photos...
i'll give you a rundown of the whole event.
The 1st day....
Haha, sad to say... I was late (in a way)
Groups leaders were supposed to assemble by 7.30am.
Lol, but i reached there by around 7.45
And instead met up with the non-group leaders group
Haha...
And when we finally reached there...around 8.15
I realised, even though we only saw very little people at the MRT station (potong pasir)
and it was still kinda early
MANY PEOPLE were already there and gathered...
As a matter of fact, most of my group members were already there
My group was Team Joseph =)
YESSSS...
Joseph! *Ref. to my drummer*
Group members were mixed, from different churches.
This is the reason why this church camp is so different from the others... This is a combined youth camp
QLC YF:
Me =)
Gordon (Lamborghini Addict)
Fabian
Andrew
Elsie
JCC Youth:
Sacharissa (Finally spelled her name right =))
Clifford (Fabian's horse/mustang/stallion)
Kelvin (Quite an interesting and outgoing fellow)
Stephanie (Dep. Camp Commandant's sis =0)
YCC Youth:
Christine
Very little people who attended from YCC.
In fact, i think out of the entire camp...
Only got 3 YCC youth, we were fortunate to have 1 in our group. =)
So we spent much of the morning with icebreakers...
Gotta admit, birthday boy had most of the attention
*TAO POK*
Hehe, shan't elaborate
Ice-breaker games focused more on getting to know our teammates...
yep
Haha
Then afterwards lunch
Haha, our group in-charge of lunch duty
So end up i supposed to say table grace,
But then Bishop in the end help say.
Haha, i think i was taking too long to get the instructions out...
KKK, so after lunch...
Was the Message! a.k.a. Lesson
JCC's youth pastor made us lie down for about 15 mins so that we wouldn't be sleepy during his talk
HAHA
*Funnily enough, it worked*
Then we had games later,
1 of the games, we played Captain Ball with veggies...
YEAAAAAHH!!
I liked the cabbage, throw until dunno which "leaf" is counted as the ball.
LOL!
And the tomatoes...=p
*Gonna recommend Durians and Watermelons next year.*
then we did prayer...Sort of an amazing race thing
Then dinner...
Then erm, 2nd Message
Haha, Pastor Soh:
"Very good.... But no tick!"

O Levels over... Prom Update
Tuesday, November 17, 2009

Freedom... Isn't there anymore
That's me...
