Camera and BlackBerry..

So.. anyone care to let me know what's with camera and BlackBerry nowadays? Looks like almost every single person I know owns one, if not both of them.. The society is getting more and more narcissistic, I can deal with that, but exclusively buying a camera worth a grand (in USD) only for amateur photographing of oneself and other insignificant things? Complete idiocy I'd say..

Don't get me starting on the other one, BlackBerry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackBerry).. This one is worse, period.. Although you guys might have known or used it for years, not until recently does it become famous at my home country.. And the telephone service providers are not helping, at all.. They started giving out promotions and contracts and stuffs so that it became easier for technology-failure people to access both the internet (via GPRS) and the epic BBM (BlackBerry Messenger)..

My opinion? Kinda OK with the camera, ABSOLUTELY NOT with the BlackBerry, just stick to any cell you're using right now or try iPhone for a change, it's much much better ;)

Percy Jackson & The Olympians?

So this might be old news for some of you out there, but I just found the reprint of the first installment of the series, a.k.a. The Lightning Thief (the movie is scheduled for release early next year).. It's an interesting fiction novel, well no wonder they are making it into a movie..

Into the novel, unlike some stories about heroes and magics based on pure fictions, the author combines the current world with the whole Greek mythology in there, so for those of you who ever read or heard about ancient Greek, I'm pretty sure you'll recognize some of them.. Worry not, he still uses English to write the novel, but you'll find some Greek words and phrases along the way ;)..

Now the story itself, the protagonist is a "mentally-ill" boy, named Perseus Jackson.. He was often sent to numerous "special" school for his behaviors, only to realize that he is not a normal boy to begin with, but he know nothing of sort, not until his Pre-algebra teacher Mrs. Dodds suddenly turn into one of The Furies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furies) and tried to kill him.. From there on, he goes on the adventure to find his real father, to revive his mother from the Underworld, and to retrieve Zeus' master bolt who was stolen by the Lightning Thief..

4 Shopping Center in a day!?

So apparently there's no class today, and we have to prepare some big thing tomorrow, so me and my friend went to ION for some shopping.. After finishing dinner (the most expensive chicken rice ever, up yours H****n), we walked around checking here and there for the appropriate clothing item, found it half an hour later, and start exploring ION from the very bottom floor to the top most.. Included with the journey are a couple of awesome snacks consuming along the way..

The higher floor are housing lots of untouchable shops, that's the best way to describe it for people like me :D.. Anyway it get tiring soon so we decide to went home early, ignoring our friend who is currently having a singing practice at that time.. So we walk down the connecting point from ION to MRT Station, to Wisma Atria, Ngee Ann City (Takashimaya SC), then a little bit more pass Cineleisure Orchard only to reach a small bus stop in front of some area to show off people's skill in playing skateboard and such..

P.S.: Today's DotA was no fun, yesterday's much better :)..

Will Dev-C++ overtake Garena as the(my) most used applications?

Stupid title, i know, but nah i hope not :)..

Anyway today was the 1st time the local lecturer tutor us on CSCI 356, which happens to be the lesson i look forward the most..

Unfortunately he's the same type of person as everyone in Singapore are, which definitely can't speak proper English.. So anyway he got into some conversations with the boys on the front row (probably locals) but nothing more than that, lousy tutor doesn't even bother to explain us about Tutorial 1 (he can't even reinstall a software in his laptop, why become a tutor?).. So me and my brother-in-arm just try to do all the DemoCode by ourselves, we got quite entertained until the end of the lesson, not bad at all..

Anyway Heroes of Newerth page @ Facebook will be putting up beta registration page for Facebook fans today at noon EST (GMT -4), which is equal midn

ight in Singapore (GMT +8), it will be sent via fan updates notifications, so anyone who want to try the closed beta, feel free to become a fan and wait for it :D..

EDIT: EST appears to be GMT -5!? SO we'll need to wait another hour for the beta page registration, my bad :D..

EDIT: So the updates didn't appear like the distribution of beta key last time, it appeared on the Facebook fan page wall instead! Here's a screenshot (or two) of what it looked like..

On the wall post:

After registration, on the home page (ID was blurred on purpose :D):
