Last day of May

I could not add in any blog entries recently because I was too busy finishing up my Combustion and Advance Vibration Assignment. Very painstaking and mind boggling to do the combustion one. Luckily the ang moh in our group know what the heck is needed and we managed to get it done to the last minute :P Bout the Advance Vibration one, managed to get it done too. It was a feasibility study that as a topic: Active Vibration Control for Image Stabilized Binoculars. Very High-tech stuff I must add. Theses binoculars come in at 500-4000 USD and they weight about 1kg +. Something only the pros will want to spend on. But the fact that it has such high magnification and easy to use makes it worthwhile; if you can afford it. Imagine, you can see an small object 1000m away CLEARLY with the press of a button. Not much calculation to be done for this, except estimating the cost of one, which is very expensive since it has so many high tech gear.

One week for now I got to do the Welding assignment adn Space vehicle online quiz. I had online quizzes. Computer and servers tend to let you down, like my friend who did it and the server timed out on him. Have to reset his answers to do again. From the looks of it, it might be the lecturer's first time doing online quizzes. Oh well.....

Enjoying my Xbox with all 3 games. I now have Unreal Championship 2, Halo 2 (duh) and Mechassault (duh). Finish all of them quite fast though. Halo 2 took me about 10 hours or 2 nights to finish. Mechassault took slightly longer. UC2 took longer since there are so many unlockables inside and I cheated (a bit :P) to unlock some of them. When it comes to UC2, the computer IS FREAKING TOO DARN FAST POWERFUL CHEATING!!. Did I say the computer cheats? .. no I didn't, I pretty much suck in playing FPS, especially high speed ones like UC2. I played Halo 2 online on Xlink Kai and got TRASHED badly. Like what my DOTA friend always say: I am a liability to my team :(. I still can't get on Live because :

1) Stupid 2 month free trial site is down, from what looks like an eternity
2) My Xbox can't see LIve, which means my ISP can't support LIVE, or my settings is screwed up.

Best of all is, the online gaming service which is free is working better than the one people have to pay premium (with unmodded Xbox and original games) to play! Looks like my Xbox won't be a virgin Xbox for long if I cannot connect to Singapore Live when I get home. Even if I DO connect, the SG Live will not allow my PAL games to work. Funny that it is harder to play with legal stuff thanwith illegal stuff no?

Ok, enough ramblings about Xbox. Just realized this entire blog has XBOX in every single entry.. except the first one which was a test message.
