Well hko is coming soon again and I just did my updates!

I can’t wait to see what’s in store! I hope that we can keep our farms from this one o.O

P.S. to the pple that make hko… if the file size keeps increasing I soon won’t be able to run the game on this old laptop! I only have about 3GB of free space T_T

Standard disclaimer: Before meeting anyone online always ensure the following

1) Meet in a public place

2) Always tell your parents or someone responsible where you will be and what time you are expected to be home

3) Err on the side of caution

So, anyhows we had a hello kitty online meet up to eat food at shokudo! Good stuff it was and I shall continue with a few photos of food food and more food!

Living in Singapore, I always thought our sun rise and sun set times can’t be too different since we’re practically ontop of the equator… well years of generic experience tell me that sometimes the sun seem to rise or set at a noticeably different time! Finally I was curious about this when I am in a online searching mood, so what happens is I find this useful website

The length of the day does increase towards middle of year and decrease towards end of the year. But the sun rise times seem to be going up and down unexpectedly! After looking more closely at the data, I realize that the noon time also shifts throughout the year! I had no idea that was happening! I hope I didnt learn this in school and then forget, it would be so embarrasing XD

Anyways there are some interesting effects

1) Sun rise time does vary, from a quick look, from 6.52 am to 7.15am!!!!

2) Ditto for sun set I presume, but too lazy to check :P:P

3)  Noon time varies from 12.49 pm (nov) to 1.19pm(feb) o.O

So yeah… next time you are shadow watching I guess this means your shadown length at the same time everyday won’t be the same and its not your mind doing funny tricks on you! hahahaha

tada

Well its not real, but otherwise its  vanilla cake with chocolate sides and cream and strawberry filling and cream and cherries on top

we went to mt faber and walked to the henderson wave bridge this is the view from the start

we had some nice food at a restaurant

Happy new year everyone

Well, I’ve been generally caught by surprise, not a huge surprise but big enough.

In general, I’ve been looking for a job as a result all throughout the new year. Been writing resumes, refreshing what I learnt in school, checking out companies, going for interviews. All this have put my crafty plans on the back seat for a while.

The chinese new year is up coming too, and I may be free-ish for a while after it if I don’t find a job soon enough. Its wierd having my schedule shaken up like that, I need to find time to put some exercise back in lol

I’m kind of glad hello kitty online isn’t up for open beta yet… I won’t have time to play. Actually, I’m starting to suspect I won’t be playing anywhere as voraciously as I did before. This is at least a whole month since the finger-breaking food for friends and I’m still feeling the pain in my fingers!!! Which is like totally… sigh but that’s life. I just hope I can slowly work my way to a nice little house and have cute pink furniture in it without killing my fingers this time round.

I have been thinking of getting a laptop ever since my friend’s laptops started dying. How this works out? Well we all got the exact same model of laptop way back when we entered university. Everyone who used their laptops avidly had it flat out in three years.

Mine hasn’t, and I attribute it to having owned desktops hence my laptop had it easy.

I am still counting down to the day it conks out. I’m not sure. Has anyone made a laptop last more than a decade?

Meanwhile I have been looking out for alternatives.

My specifications?

Easy, in order of importance

0) CHEAP

1) Light, the lighter the better < 1kg = minimal requirement… dream weight = < 200g)

2) Full keyboard, I need to type!!! No crampy typing for me

3) Browses the internet

4) Plays Hello kitty online

5) Compiles java code, runs apache, php locally

6) Plays videos

7) Runs paintbrush and various oekaki drawing programs

That’s about it really, nothing much to ask for. Still looking at my options while counting down the days to the demise of my long suffering laptop.

Once in a while. He wakes up very easily when in that pose and doesnt return to it (obviously its not very comfortable) so I have been trying to get a picture of it… finallly!!!
