All my belated post...
Ok when was the last time I posted to my blog.....very long ago right? don't know when also I bet soe of you thought my hand dropped off or my brain suddenly stopped working right?...arh...don't think I don't know ok....
(That was Daniel just being "bo liao" and adding some of his madness to his blog....)
Ok update newflash....or whatever you guy want to call it....and Yes I'm still alive if any of you think I'm "bo liao" at this point of time at least I'm better than some pay and pay gahmen who has nothing better to do than to think of ways to suck their people's money...
Lets get back to what I wanted to type all along...I've been busy with assignments, yes just for the record, Daniel is actually studying and getting some work done.(not something you would see everyday) Coping well lah, assignments are interesting, sound designing, essays on narrative analysis, sound map drafts...blah blah blah...practially all the interesting stuff that busniess management and information systems students don't get to do hahahahahaha....
Been making a lot of videos lately..., but here is the catch, everytime I make a video, I suppose to think of the story, the foreshadow of the story, who I'm telling the story to, who is telling the story, who is the narrative in the story, how many stories am I telling in 1 video...the list goes one....as you can see I've improved in this area but it is no longer as fun as it used to be.
That's what I've been learning at school most of the time...been to seaworld lately just to let you guys know, I went to seaworld on 27/08/2005 hmmm...that date seems very close to some people's birthday right? Just so some of you have an idea of what you are getting....the photos can be found at this site http://community.webshots.com/user/elementium the photos are not digitally enhanced, because seriously I don't have the time to do anything now a day, except eat, sleep ,shit , play WE8, study, go church...sounds a bit sad right, but don't worry I intend to make up for lost time.... ; - P
In those photos are of course my long awaited photos of my first few days here and the Ekka fair I went to in Brisbane. You guys can check out the rides in seaworld(espaically the "Corkscrew" I took that ride and was never the same again), check out the animals at the Ekka, check out my Uni for those of you who have not seen it and of course you can check out my house mates as well(their all girls and I have their numbers if any of you want them... ; D).
That should be about it for now...since its all said and done I guess I'll go attempt to crash another Mac, lets trying using photoshop this time to crash it...wish me luck...
Daniel out...(man I always wanted to say that)

The day I crashed a Mac
Read the title, I bet some of you thought it was not possible...
Well, I am living proof, it IS possible to crashed Mac, althought I have to admint it is far more stable than our stupid Microsoft Windows, and of course the Mac OS X has sooo much more features with a completely new integrated design aspect ot the look and feel of the OS, it sometimes pretty much makes Windows look like cheap ice-cream.
Ok, my project partner and I where doing some heavy sound editing on the Mac, noise removal, tempo shift, normalization, pitch/tone modification, amplitude control and of course my personal favourite EQ....
After like altering 20 frequency channels on the EQ panel, the Mac seem to slightly slow down a little, of course Windows would have crashed by then... and with all that editing the raw sound file would have been a few hundred MB, and we decided to save it on our network drives(note: we forgot to close the sound editing program) and started to transfer the files...
This is the cool part, suddenly the screen faded out, and a transparent black background started to slide down from the top of the screen, and in the center of that background was a white box saying "OS X has experianced some errors, please press the power buttom and ....blah blah blah...." can you guys imagine it, Macs actually have transition when it crashes, Windows just gives you this stupid blue screen. This is so cool, I think I'll go crash a few more Macs....seems fun...

One night in Brisbane....
Hmm...what have I been up to lately....
Read on and find out.....
Date: 11/8/2005, Time: 10pm, Place: Mercury(club), Event: Singapore Students' Celebration(National Day)
This was the one crappest thing I did since coming here, and really I'll never do it again....cause it SUCKS!!! big time....
Damn I thought it was going to be fun, BUT...it was not fun at all...
Firstly I had to wait for 2hrs for my housemates to arrive(Dosen't mean that guy always have to wait for girl, and even if it is waiting, its not suppose to be that long....)
Than we walked to the club, just for the record, Mercury is nothing compared to Zouk, and the DJ sucks man, there was only like 2 retro songs the whole night..WAH LAU...the dance floor was smaller than Zouk...and the first few people dancing where a bunch of "ah liens" in short skirts and tubes.....GIVE ME A BREAK....
Vodka Cocktails were going at AUD$5 per bottle...some how or rather I think I downed more than 6 and what a let down, I didn't even feel "high" enough to start dancing...played a few games of pool and thanks to one of my housemates who...tried all means to distract me everytime I took a shot(let just say I felt the way she was behaving is VERY unGodly for a christian and I am stopping short at using harsher language on her), despite of that I still won, try harder next time ladies, touching and showing skin does not mean a guy will loose his concentration....
Here comes the best part.. its 2am we missed the last train home....which means we have totally no form of transport home until the next day...hmm what is the most logical thing to do when you are stuck in a forgien country with no transport home for the next 4hours...
1. Stop whining and start thinking.
2. Look for somewhere safe to sit around, prefablely a 24hr foodcourt.
3. Don't wonder off alone, in other words stick together.
4. Like it or not, we're all on the same boat so shut up already......
I think most of you would be able to guess that I was very pissed off with something, just wasen't showing it at that time... we spent the whole night/morning wondering around Brisbane, sitting at the train station looking for toilets and doing NOTHING...great just great....
Moral of the story, Australia really dosen't have a night life, its either pubs, sex or go home...I think I'll stick to choice number 3 for now....
Oh yah also plan before you leave for somewhere and having a rough idea of what the place might turn out to be...

p9930938 -> CPL Daniel -> s4084487
Time flies and thing happen and things go by, life moves on without waiting for us....
Sometimes too fast, sometimes too slow, sometimes faster than we know....
We try to move with it but are often caught too busy, and we feel as if we have no time...
But the truth is sometimes we are just wasting time...
Life and time will not delay...
Time is running fast away...
Life is now today today...
Well, just to let you guys know...p9930928 was my student number back in Singapore Poly, CPL Daniel was my final rank obtained in the Armed Forces, and finally now, s4084487 is my student ID number in UQ(University of Queensland)....
I see it strange as each and every stage and point of time, it is the same person, just that the time is different and at all 3 stages the same person will have different needs, different objectives and different goals, which makes it look as though, it is a totally different person, but in fact the same...
So what do we call this than? the Growing up process? Evolution? Adaptation? Conforming to time? hmmm....the same and yet different person....
