haha
730am: Woke up. Changed. bla.
900am: Dental appointment.
1000am: Borders reading some agatha christie book.
1130am: Dental appointment.
100pm: Lunch at Crystal jade (Bishan)
200pm: CCA till 5
530pm: home.
630pm: Out to j8
800pm: Watch Deathnote 2
1100pm: home.
1120: blogging..
Yup. haha. now elaboration. Dental appointment wasn't much. Just the normal stuff again. Guess I shall be putting braces by April? Sigh... CCA was quite boring. Shi Heng and Thomas were practicing conducting. Shi Heng wasn't that good although I guess it could have been much worse. Thomas was great I think. Somehow, he seemed funny, yet fierce at the same time (fierce for the erhu sec 1s, haha.). Anyway, much more people looked up at the conductor (finally), and Thomas, who is soooo talented in music, could detect every slight error (I think). Lol. But anyway, the percussion section was outside practicing zong he lian xi 3 as well as qing wang dian bing. So, it didn't really matter.
Deathnote 2 was a brilliant movie. Though, as mentioned by my parents, it taught some wrong morals, the intensity, pace and drama in the show was at it's highest. In fact, I once got so absorbed it took quite a while for me to realise I was watching a movie. The storyline was great, the camera takes though simple were also rather good. The actors and actresses did rather well too, though I think the main attraction of this movie is the grip and the drama as to whether L would find Kira or Light would kill L first. All in all, except for those wrong morals, I thought this movie was a definite must-watch, much better than huang jin jia at least, which really isn't nice. sorry. maybe, i just can't appreciate the movie but the storyline of huang jin jia just wasn't as well-planned, as gripping as dramatic as deathnote 2. I could almost predict what was going to happen after the starting portion.
Well, that's all for now... Bye!

happy x'mas everyone!
Morning and afternoon wasn't much. Mom and Dad were giving tuition and I was also doing my math homework. It was evening which was the big surprise. Michael (my eldest bro) was supposed to come back from his further studies on 24th. However, when we reached the restaurant Sam (my elder bro) had arranged for mom, Michael was already there! Mom was taken aback. I wasn't really surprised because a few hints here and there that I received told me that the surprise Sam promised Mom was that of Michael being back by mom's b'dae. hahaha. Well, Francis and Stephanie were also there. ok... erm... yar... we ate at a buffet restaurant near NUS called... Sakura Palace? or something like that. The eating part wasn't much. I got a berkeley windbreaker from Mike, Sam got some architecture book, Dad and Mom got shirts if I'm not wrong...
24th:
Nothing much. Woke up at 10. Mike taught me some com skills. (LOL) hahaha. Then, we went to look at some drum sets cuz Mike wanted one before we proceeded for church. Hmm... Church wasn't much. Just the usual procedures. Let's see... ok. after that, we went home, ate dinner and watched some television before some (around 10 or more?) of Sam's church friends came to our house to do some carol-ing? hahaha. They were a really friendly bunch. Age varying from around 14 to 26? Hmm... yup. Luckily they had lyrics cuz I fail in carol-ing. hahaha. The guitarist played quite well (i think). after that, we had some other musical performances by the ever-so-pro me, Sam and Mike. Obviously, mine was the best (LOL. jkjk.) haha. Anyway, it was a nice experience with my only regrets in the form of missing 1/2 an hour of xiao yu er yu hua wu que drama series on channel 8. AHH!!! I wanna watch! haha. The people were rather friendly, although one of the girls was REALLY talkative. My god. Lol. hahaha. ok. After around 1 1/2 hour, they left.
25th:
Oops. Whole family woke up at around 2pm. LOL. more than half of the christmas gone liao. sigh. haha. We went to Ikea to walk? before proceeding to Stephanie's house for some really delicious dinner. Crabs, raw salmon... YUMMY. hahaha. Actually, 25th was the most uneventful of these 3 days cause Michael was off to Australia at 6am on holiday. He won't be returning till 31st jan. haix. Come back for 2 days then gone again. haha. nevermind. a month is a shorter wait than 1 1/2 years.
K. nothing much to blog liao. haha. DEATH NOTE 2! lol. k. happy christmas, boxing day, new year eve, new year to everyone!!! hahaha. xin nian kuai le, wan shi ru yi!

Lalala. BACK with a BANG.
1. KGS (which i've been playing a lot lately)
2. Utube stuff (which shall be on a seperate post)
3. Nothing liao. haha.
k. so. KGS. Hmmmm...
Firstly, let's take a look at my ranking graph.

Lol. not very clear. but still all right i guess. x-axis shows time in months starting with 2005 nov and ending with 2006 dec (which is now) and y-axis shows ranking with lowest rank in graph as 9k and highest rank 2d. Yup. hahaha. Well, now take a look at my KGS profile....
Cause 3d is the goal... (thinks shi hao 0.0) LOL.
Goal 1: 1d by 17 dec
Goal 2: 2d by mid-feb 2007
Previous Previous rank: 3k (4 wins 2 losses to promote) Time taken: 2 days (22/10-24/10)
Previous rank: 2k (4 wins 1 loss to promote) Time taken: 2 weeks (23/10 - 7/11)
Current Rank: 1k (27 wins and 25 losses since I became 1k (excluding against hy n onli counting non-free matches. Time taken: 26 days (8/11 - 3/12) and still counting... zzz...
Since 1k is taking such a long time (zzz...), I shall do a deeper analysis. =)
Against 3k: L - 0/1
Against 2k: L W W L W L W W L W W W W W L W L L W - 12/19
Against 1k: W W W L L L W L L L W L W L W L W W - 9/18
Against 1d: W L W W L W L - 4/7
Against 2d: W L L - 1/3
Against 3d: L W (no handi) L - 1/3
All with correc handi (2 for opponent in 3k, opponent gets black for 2k, 1k is random selection, 1d means i get black, 2d means i get two handi, and 3d means i get 3 handi)
Against hy (yiheng) W W W W W W W W W - 9/9 LOL. but hy's improved. YAY. gogogo!!!
Highest rank ever (2006) - 1d (feb)
Lowest rank ever (2006) - 9k (sept)
Average rank (2006) - 4k
Rank i think im about - 1k
Lol. ok. the profile is longer but the rest isnt that much.... hahaha. k. that's all for KGS. Need more wins and more losses. Estimate around 7 more wins with no losses to promote. and that's hard. HAHA. k. must work hard.
Bye!
