2010 PBSM post-camp feeling..

Finally after 3 years of being a camper for pbsm camps

after 3 years of waiting, 3 years of anticipating..

i was a committee myself, organizing a 3 days pbsm camp for my juniors.

After 3 months of stress, 3 months of headaches, 3 months of preparation,

my camp had finally come knocking at my door.

After 3 days of fun, 3 days of stress,

3 days of joy, 3 days of being a committee,

3 days of laughters, 3 days of pain, 

3 days of tiredness, 3 days of sleep deprivation, 

3 days of hunger, 3 days of disappointment at the weather, 

3 days of worry, 3 days of everything...

My camp ended at 3.30pm yesterday.

INTER ARMA CARITAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and also this is my last SFI PBSM camp forever...I will miss this life :(

Finally i know, being a committee wasn't as easy as I had thought before...

First of all, the weather suck to shit level...if it wasn't for the rain, everything would be smooth and clean.

Affected activities: tent pitching, sleeping in tents, and backwood cooking.

For my campers, I am sorry I couldn't do anything, and sorry for you that you can't experience the true pbsm camp.

For the activities are the heart of the camp. I hope you guys have learned a lot of things, and continue this tradition when you go to form 4...and pass it on to your juniors, age quod agis.

To all the committee, THANK YOU.

Thank you Wai Huang the camp chief for leading the camp,

Ham and Khai Shen for planning all the activities, and sorry for pressurizing you guys :(

Arvind too..thanks for being a PA and Secretary...

and Bradon, Yoon Kok, Weng kuan, and Yi Hern, for your Quartermasters...I know you spent 24/7 at the canteen just to ensure campers and committee's stomach. I am sorry I couldn't arrange time for you to participate in the activities, especially for Yoon Kok.

and all the committee, especially PA, Chun Sean, Samuel, Jia Wei, Arvind, Wei Xuan and Jia Jian...and also Charles for Security master, Agheelan, Chirag, Karan...a BIG thank you..

er..if I miss out anyone...I also wanna thank you for making this camp a success..

And yea, Miss Ong and Mr Wong, thank you for helping and guiding us throughout the camp, and also allowing us to go for night-hike at St Paul.

Also, the scouts, Samuel, Au Yong, Je, Chin Kit, and Kenny for lending a hand in the camp...i appreciate it.

Joel, thank you too...

Yesterday I slept for 14 hours...whoohoo..hahaha

I woke up today...the memory is still fresh in my mind..like just few hours ago, even Now..

The end my last camp..sighs..a mixture of sad and satisfaction.

For my scout friends, good luck in your coming camp tommorrow.

and lastly to a friend, thanks for your support, wishes and your goodnight =D

3D Anaglyph Spree!!!!

*Clearing throat* ahem..
Hello guys...long time no blog d.
Well, what drives me back to my blogging mood?
No doubt, it is the 3D world~
well, I believe all of you have heard of 3D picture or 3D anaglyph, or stereoscopy or whatever.
The basic concept of this term is actually applying our knowledge of how our eyes work with our brain, to create a 3-dimensional picture or photo on a 2D surface, which is on computer screen, movie, or a mere picture.
In other words, combination of 2 images (left eye perception and right eye perception).

I was hooked when I first stumbled upon an article about 3D imaging in the Star. And of course, I found it highly intriguing.
As you know, newspapers provides not much information. So, I consulted Mr.Internet.
First thing that appeared on my screen is "stereoscopy".
This is a technique of getting a 3-Dimension without a pair of 3D glasses. It requires a little bit of endurance..haha. What you need to do is just cross your eyes.

For beginners, it would be nauseous and causes eye pain but it is worth doing! Fortunately, when you are used to it, then it will be an ease for you, no nausea, no pain, no dizziness, no nothing.
Well, talk so much no use, I will show you examples...

-How to get a 3D image? very simple:
the left image is the what your left eye sees, and the right one is what is seen by your right eye.
Now, cross your eyes, until you can see 3 yellow cars.
The middle one is the combination of left eye and right eye images.
When you roughly get three pictures d, its time to focus and concentrate hard on the middle image.

See!? Cool right? so surreal and so magnificent...and yea, practise more to acquire this skill without feeling like vomiting.
The above one I got from the internet. I also took some...
My marching shoes xD

SFI Guys Toilet (clean right? hehe)

My house's living room...

Ok..enough. This is without 3D glasses.
(Dont blame me if anything happens to you, like you vomit or whatever. because your action is voluntary. I dont force you. Thanks)
Now..let's get on to the next level...
now you need a pair of 3D red/cyan glasses, not polarized one.
Here is how I construct my own 3D glasses:

You need 

1 red marker (red lens)

1 blue marker (cyan lens)

1 sheet of plastic (lenses)

1 cardboard (frame)

DONT LAUGH..I know they look suck..hehe. But it really works. A cheap and easy method.

Eh shit, its so late now...I gotta make fast to finish this post.

Alright alright, lets get on with it. 

Got from the net..

Self-made, my house living room. 

This is a technique of combining 2 images (left eye and right eye).

If you see it through 3D glasses, the Cyan image will be filtered by the cyan lense, whereas red one will be filtered by red lens. So it is like viewing a 3D one.

Well...this is harder to produce, but its easy with Photoshop~~ haha

Below are my practices:
.....
.....

Gaah..cant upload more pictures. Especially the one with my sister being the guinea pig..haha

Unfortunately, internet doesnt allow me to upload more...dunno why.

Since time is also apposing me in blogging longer and further..so I think it ends here. >.<

IF YOU HAVE 3D GLASSES, TELL ME WHERE TO BUY AND CAN LEND ME?? I WANT A PROPER PAIR!!!! XD (mine are lembik and scraggy)

Good night...I shall blog more about this in the next post.. see ya =D

thanks for reading till here.

I Can(t) Breathe?

Form 4 life is busy,or rather, school life is busy?
I am strangled by tuitions, homework, co-curricular activities.
I can't breathe, like somebody presses my head into water. I am drowned...
But I feel the sense of satisfaction in the suffocating moment. A solid moment, with new things keep rushing in.
I feel it...and I breathe it.
I am still alive!  =D

A Small Scrap From My Dull Life

GASP...the small black digits on my watch reminded me of today's date, 17th...a few days more to go to my result's day.
Practically a boring and uneventful day....
when you view me from inside the computer, I have done a lot of activities...
but when you see me from outside, I am just sitting there the whole day, with just the tiny movement of my right hand gliding the mouse across the table surface.

If i am playing Dota, I bet you can hear my mouse being clicked rapidly from metres away, click-click-click-click..that's how a person plays Dota xD...so busy controlling the hero he takes. And the other hand will rest on the keyboard; with each game, the position of each fingers varies. Sometimes the person looks like he is pointing his middle finger to the screen. Believe me, some people might get their fingers tangled when their games reach a peak fight, I personally got it before when I use Meepo.. -.-

Hmm...yesterday I had just created a clan in Garena, after keeping my friends waiting for almost one year...haha. Initially we planned to name our clan as "Fever", but that never materialized since Garena doesn't allow. With every name we suggested, they will just say: "This name is already taken". In the end I got kinda pissed off and selected a name with total randomness. Guess what is it? "Error in Terror". What a gross name -.-. To be frank, I don't like the full name, but I like the tag, ErroR. And I think my new name will be ErroR|Sapphire...hohoho..
This afternoon I had nothing to do and was damn free, so I decided to design a clan logo for Error clan...and below is the result.

It took me only about 15 minutes, without much effort. But it is clean and simple, and I like it =D

Against Time

When days turned into weeks, it is simply the fourth week...couldn't believe I have gone through 1 month of post-PMR.
What have I done so far? nothing. Playing games, watching movies, Facebook-ing, chatting, all being done in front of my flat-screen computer, sitting there almost 24 hours, like an idiot. But only that is able to kill my time.
At school, I will be sitting motionlessly in the hall (or hell?), gawking stupidly at my also-bored friends, sometimes changing my view to the curtain in front when certain movies' nice scenes are being projected for a few seconds. Sometimes I prowl about in the hall and interrupt some of my friends' conversation, then flee to another corner across the hall. The condition in the hall is torturing me too, for the temperature is soaring high, and it is running dangerously low in oxygen.
My only sanctuary - the school library -.-"...and I still have to do work there, but am allowed to rest and slack off for a few while..hehe
More or less the same situation at home...perfectly bored, especially when all my outdoor activities which were well planned before PMR are forced into the ban list of my daily activities.

This moment WAS highly desired, and I am now right in the middle!
Clock is ticking...shall I appreciate this very moment? Or let it flow swiftly since I am bored.
I have about 1 month more to enjoy myself before returning to studying mood, and go back to the same old routine, tonnes of stupid homework, classes of tuition, and time-killing folios...zzz
Soon and soon, I will be facing the fearsome SPM.

Sorry.

I learn that everything starts with one simple sentence.
And I learn that how fragile a person can be, but I don't think our friendship can be so frail.
Well, I didn't really mean anything, just was trying to help someone, all in the name of fun.
But it turned out to be a monstrous misunderstanding, caused by a short sentence too.
I am very uneasy after this has happened, I feel guilty, but was I the only one wrong throughout?
I think I might have sometimes gone beyond bound, if you think so, I would like to apologize. Sorry.
I can't make further comments, I know everything was just plain childish, and it shouldn't have happened.
Can we just erase it and forget it? =)
Brian, please stop it too.
Time will heal all wounds shortly, leaving lasting scars. Not in this case.

Friendship is carved, not written.

Triumph of Return

After a lonG~ month..finally, it is over...

Everything is so unreal. Can't really accept the truth that it is finally OVER~!

All my friends have gone out...sob sob...never wait for me..sial

Well, now what was being longed for has arrived, and what was being hated has gone.

It is time now...time to do whatever I wish..wohoo..

Hmm....planning what to do..tennis? who want to join me?

Sau man, Ryan, Au Yong, Sam, let's DotA!!

Sighs..what else? Runescape! lol... Er, lepak?

hmm...cycling? Darien, here I come!!!!!

Right now trying very hard to squeeze every bit of idea and activity out of my brain. Unfortunately, my mind is very dry..sighs..suggest me what to do..anyone?

Anyway, I have something to say, guys,

I am back, and the saga still, continues.
