Sport hour...

Yeah yesterday we had sports hour... Hmmm the last time i ever exercise was like 2 weeks ago oh ya that was the 10km run stand chart...

Weather was hot, i ran outta steam pretty quickly... Got injured again diaoz... Right toe got black totally black... So! Meet Toe black...

Hmmm... futsal is starting soon in feb... I am in to compete for my company... Hope we can do well...

My cupboard!

Hmm... Xmas bo liao, got to finish up on my cupboard design... Tada! This is what i managed to come out with after a few hours of hardwork... The actual physical cupboard of course will not be this "vibrant", can't accept this kinda odd colours in my room... Will be able to get in done before CNY~~~...

Xmas Eve...

Its Xmas and i am back in my office updating my boring bloggy... The half a day privilege is kinda bored... I dun think i can accomplish anything in office todae, maybe yes by surfing the internet to look for something to buy or looking for someone to disturb via msn of course...

Sigh... when can xmas ever be an exciting period for me!?

Standard Chartered Run Results...

Hmmm... my results for standard chartered run~~~ Completed the 10km race in 1hr 07mins, sigh could have done much better than that, i too slack liao haha~ Can go buy 4D: 2911... ~~

Passion in life?

Hmm... Someone asked me whats my passion in life? Hmm... I found out that at different part of my life i have a different passion. For instance during my primary and secondary school life, my passion was living in my own world (not that i wanted to, it just happens naturally), dun really care wats happening outside my world... Though "blur", i am still quite active in sports, playing badmintion, table tennis, basketball and lastly soccer which i was so lousy in...

Poly! First 2 years, i was still "blur" (as mentioned above!) and i started playing Othello, my ultimate passion at that time, then a lecturer came and speak to us and what he told us really inspired me to study. Since then studying is like: the tougher the subjects are, i will have more interest in that subject and my morale goes up too... Army days, Othello neva leaves me. I trained so hard everyday for about 6-7 months just to compete and was really surprised and happy with the outcome...

Uni? Just focusing on getting a degree with honours, knowing that u spent so much money, you dun really feel like enjoying youself when u got crappy results. Anyway i was able to survive and i was a bit crazy to challenge myself in my final year uni with 2 of the toughest technical electives like CFD and FEA. Of course, it includes climbing Australia highest peak in one of my trips keke...

Work? Nah i neva had much passion about it as it is just part of my life, not my life! I only looked forward to every friday for soccer, guess that my only passion currently.

Generally my passion in life, i think i love to seek challenges, the tougher it is to accomplish, the more interest i have and the higher my morale goes, guessed that this will give me a larger sense of self satisfaction when i achieved it... So whats next, let me think about it bah!

Standard Chartered Run!

Yes, i signed up for the 10km run. Well, the run is supposed to start at 7.00 and as long as it is a strenuous exercise one has gotta rest at least 7 hrs before the workout (but i slept at 12! DUH). Anyway i gotta wake up early as early as 5.45 in the morning probably excited about the run, i found myself awake as early as 4.13am, forced myself to sleep.

Finally i woke up at 5.45am (disappointed not to see any rain haha!), drank some cereal and sh*t (ahem) and i left the house at 6.30am this morning, confirm late liao lah (as usual, wats new?). Was thinking about getting a cab but the road was empty but i managed to get on bus 10 and reached raffles city in about 15 mins time and i gotta deposit my bag! Walking to the bag deposit area already warms me up... Proceeding to the starting point, hmmm its about 7.30am and they haven't start...

After a few mins of waiting, we are all ready to go, I was going at a very slow pace i hardly pant haha, yeah right slacker! The truth about doing 10 km; it is quite a pain but i managed to complete it within 1:15 hrs (might be faster though) keke (exactly the same time which i planned to finish)... not bad yeah and i collected another medal, the second one this year~~ hopefully next year can collect a few more keke...~~

Holis....

Well this month november, my schedule in office has been kinda well arranged. First it was ICT for 2 weeks followed by 1 week on course. Yesterday was my off day, i went back to office to help my boss download some results for one of the trials. I am kinda pissed with my colleagues, calling me names, that i am a chao keng. I mean what?! So does that mean that u can plan and go on holidays and i cant even have mine planned? Thats simply ATROCIOUS and OUTRAGEOUS! I pointed both my middle fingers at them in a joking manner(well i knew i should not have done that, but who cares, i am pissed!)

May be i should be a bit more mature by telling them that gotta stop all these kinda of nonsence because i am really not happy to hear these...

Lesson learnt:

1) dun act recklessly!

2) speak what u are not happy about!

3) take verbal abuses lightly (人言可偎)...

Army...

This is CPL Gene Low reporting for duty... gosh! ICT ICT! My first army reservice is a high key...

First day i was dripped... 2nd day boring training... 3rd dayIPPT! Ran till i almost concussed (perhaps due to my old age...) but! i passed! Thanks to soccer on fridays...

Well the 2nd week was outfield... On wednesday at nite we were seperated from out platoons and we gotta head back to look for them... Carrying my 25kg to 30kg bag and not aware of whats in the field, i fell into a 20 - 30 cm water hole and got myself cut by thorns from plants. Heng no sprains or watever just a bit wet on my right foot. Picked myself up and continued walking (Act garang... ahem)

We met up with our platoon mates and was about to start doing some walking down to our deployment ground. Before we moved up we stayed at the side of the road and at the same time keep ourselves lowered so that enemies would not spot us... I was trying to squat down and not kneel with one knee (which is more stable) because of the wet ground. Tried hard balancing myself to squat and i failed (DARN!) landing on my poor butt eventually and got them wet! grrrr.....

Was suaned by my platoon mate: Why u kept falling down todae?

MO infront of me was telling me: u can stay put in this manner (before we move out)...

Me: I guessed its just not my day... (SIANZ!)

Finally we managed to finish training todae and will be out processed tomorrow...

I guessed reservice was not that bad as it is a break from work... Best part from this reservice i can slack for another 2 years before i needa clear my ippt... woooo hooo~

Kao Dim!

Kaoz... horrid week... Went up and down to do my fixtures and screw up things quite a number of times, end result i got fitter and darker under the hot sun (ahem)... It is often that u are finishing something then u will eventually find out that u have a major screw up telling my that my design aren't that great but my fixtures are still able to work though but i gotta cook up some stories just in case some arseholes try to act smart and try to think of something to tekan me....

Well, despite being busy i am still able to enjoy just one hour of soccer (grrr.... simply not enuff!) and promised myself that i deserved my weekend this week! No work! No work at all! But gotta pack my bags as i will be serving the nation next week (sianz)....

Battling on...

Hmm... Recent weeks was doing some ventilation design for a system. What happened last week was a close shave... Was informed last min we are going for some testing... @ 6pm last thurs went to visit the site, next day friday ask contractor to help us build and deliver on the same day itself, sat they went off for trial... Everything was good...

The ventilation system is finally going to be used! Tomorrow is a big day for me... Its my design and i am going to fix it myself~~ Shiok! I just found out todae, if my design fails... the trial will be postpone again... heavy responsibility lies on me man... But i believe all will be well... ~

Cheong ar!

Ascendas update...

Hm... the photos taken from the competition is quite "little" as in the amount are small.

Anyway here are some shots on me in action, strangely i was the only one captured when we were playing team durian.

11!

Ho Li Si AR!

Lastly, the dream team of DSO!

What should go.... SHOULD GO!

Ok my blog is cleaned! Cleaned from the horrid times last year! Muahaha!

Its like what would you do if you were to write something wrong in your book (what ever book!)! Tear out the pages and shred them into pieces! Muahahaha!

But!

Do be reminded that somethings couldn't be changed if you did something wrong...

I am a changed person. I think now before i act but i will not tolerate idiots, if you know me you will knowwho these bunch of people are! Muahahaha!

Cleared!

Hmmm... went for a review on my blood test i did last monday @ the polyclinic... Darn waited for half an hour and went into the Doc's room. Went in, so your blood test results... very normal! Anything i else can do fer u? No. Ok you may go. Less than 20 secs i am outta of the doc's room. Imagine how long i waited to see him.... Diaoz... anyway that saves me 8 bucks for the consultation fee....

Went to change some jersey, wanted to get Man U away kit. Feel that the design wasn't too good so i gave up that idea. Went home, feel its early and went for a run... i think the run was about 5km which i took about 35-40mins to complete, ok lah for a aging guy with a status of cat y level 2+ and long time never run liao (gosh so much excuses!?) i think not too bad liao lah, ahem...

I was thinking i set a target to complete 10km @ 1 hr 15mins in stand chart run, how is that going to be possible? DIAOZ!...

Older...

Sheessshh... Its Cat Y level +2 since 2 days ago... Went out on dinner last sunday with family and got "chopped" badly... haha.. Celebrated triple happiness that nite... Went back and had a ice cream cake for b'day...

On monday, actual day and i am on off... well went to take some blood samples for further test if i had any health problems (which i dun think i have any) waited for 1 hour before it was mine turn... sheesshhh.... Anyway at night was quite enjoyable... Got 2 ladies to celebrate b'day with me... Well wasn't expecting anything really... Both of them got me 2 mooncakes ice cream, shared one and they sang birthday songs for me in the restaurant, so nice... Thanks... The other on i brought home is currently still intact in my fridge...

Went out with TS on tues... Didn't know he was on vegetarian diet, what happened was he blew it by accidentally eating some meat in the sweet and sour soup i ordered, got me sinned (touch wood*) Anyway, got him to treat me tea! Nice tea which could be refilled @ more than 10 bucks... Missed the ginger cubes! They are great...

Fun growing old (erm is it?)...

Ascendas Cup Finale...

Finally! We are done with the Ascendas Cup tonite... Both Team suffered from "bird flu" (opposition team name). First was Eagles to lose on penalties in the first quarty followed by my Falcon to crash in the semi finals and i was at fault in the semis for being lazy, drats....

Hmmm.... was sad that what team mate Jason said was not effective enough to bring out the confidence in me... as in when u are on the pitch u are the best player if not u will not perform... Well i am still kinda scare and afraid to be eliminated from the semis and eventually lost control of the ball and allow some "bird flu" bacteria to score a goal which brings the score to 2-1.

Anyway kinda redeem myself in the third/fourth placing match... First half ended 1-1 with me coming on as a sub and i scored to make it 2-1. Jason made it 3-1 before i substituted myself with Lian Hock, but team Reuters fought back and managed to get a 3-3 draw and we end up going to sudden death penalties...

Reuters missed their second one and Ian scored to secure a 3rd place for DSO Falcons!~

It was a great experience to play in such competitive games especially for me as this is my first try... As this is the time where it shows if you are really good because u encounter stress. Come to think of it, i kinda understand now EPL players are under a lot of stress while we sit on out couch, enjoying a mug of ice beer, eat peanut and kpkb about their play, haha!

Hmm... another bad news (maybe for the current team), i had been asked to play in the futsal league... Hopefully i can retain my no.11 shirt and show some confidence in myself and help the team lift the championship...

Team DSO: Falcons advanced....

Wooozzz... I am in DSO Falcon, Soccer Team... Leam got me into the team and its the first time i ever play competitive soccer and test myself against the better players... where do i stand??...

Anyway was about to quit the team due to what happened last friday... Thought i was about to die hmmm of food poisoning??.... Well what happened was we were warming up last friday for todae's competition after the game, stomach starts to cramp and felt like vommiting and i could not take my dinner... Wee Lip got my home and i went to the clinic... Doc found out that i was hyper ventilating and after a soccer game some more so asked me to do an ECG. Results: ABNORMAL! and referred me to A&E SGH! Before i board the cab u puked... everything from lunch was outta my stomach... grosssss....

When i reached SGH, test blood, test chest x ray... hmmm, doctor was pretty... opps... results everything was fined, some virus infection... food poisoning most likely case.... hence i was not really fit for todae's game....

5.30 gathered at SP and Leam throws me a jersey, No. 11, i couldn't say no anymore... Great number to have... :~(

Tattttttt daaaaaa...!

Well decided to play a super sub role haha... try to get myself outta the pitch as often as possible...

First game, we played "Lulians" erm they called themselves D24... they got a draw against us... sheesshh...

2nd game: i was substituted in the 2nd half... Referee called me over and told me not play rough! I was wat!? Did u got the correct person?! Well i didn't realised that i was rough... Missed 2-3 chances to get a goal... strike goal post and blah blah...

3rd game: strike goal post again blah blah blah...

4th game: i finally scored..... after missing so much opportunities...

5th game: We are advancing to the quarters so we planned for a draw... i was a substitute again... first half ended with us losing one goal... in the dying mins we eventually scored one and drew level and throw the other team outta quarter finals haha!

Happy day happy day~~ Wednesday is the quarterfinals really hoped that we can finish top 3.... woo hooo~~~

Water cooled Rig Part 3...

Hmm... finally its weekend and i had managed to get all the components i needed, hence its time to finish up my water cooling rig... woo hoo..~ This part of my bloggy is gonna be picture intensive....

Firstly, my radiator fixture its finally here... Thanks to Sunny!!!~~

Another look (below)... My own design... Isn't it gorgeous? keke...

I fitted the fixture onto my TJ07 casing... Look at that! It fitted perfectly! Swee Swee...

Now its time to prepare my radiator and my cpu water block. The cpu block was oxidised and had to be dumped into some carbonated water (i had used Sprite Zero and i drank 80% of it :p) to remove the copper oxide so that heat transfer could be improved. Look at the bubbles, while my copper block was being attacked!

I could only talk about the process of working on the radiator.

1) Add vinegar into the radiator and let it react with the chemical which are used to manufacture the radiator for an hour.

2) Flush with distilled water.

3) Add vinegar again and leave it in the radiator for another half an hour.

4) Add distilled water into radiator and let it settle for half an hour.

5) Rinse radiator with distilled water again.

Once ready, i fixed the fans and radiator on to the fixture i had designed, which was sandwiched as shown.

My pump fixed on to the plinth that i had worked on earlier.

Above shown everything fixed up, as i ran my water cooling circuit with distilled water to flush the system.

After that i had drained the distilled water and replaced it red coolant i had bought keke... Below shows my UV lighted water cooling rig in the day!

Another look as shown below, my work area!

My water cooling rig below! Action at nite!

A look internally, radiators fan and red coolant flowing within the tubings (below).

Another look below.

Last shot!

Its been fun working on the system, but it requires a lot of time, effort, patience, sweat and strength! Just a little disappointed with the power supply as some of its cables are quite short and the cpu block storm as well as it only managed to get 2 cpu cores cooled properly, it is my fault for not researching before i got this 2 product.

At the end, I am just glad that the system isn't leaking and it is working pretty well. Ho Ho Ho!

My new toys!

Got my modular power supply finally!!! It does helped to save up space as unnecessary wires could be kept rather than left lying around the casing.

Pics!

1KW sign, keke! Carried this around last sat, SHEESH it was heavy!

Plugs on the PSU....

Another view on the PSU.

I have also been hunting for 2 other things... A new GO stepping quaddie and a DFI P35 board which were extremely good to clock... After waiting for 3 weeks i got my quaddie finally yesterday!! Vitty! if u are really interested to get a new PC, Q6600 (quad core) look out for the batch: SLACR (shown below)! They consume less power and they are really cool...

DFI Mobo... read at one of the webby... it allows one of the cpu to hit 600FSB! thats really fast and only 300 pieces are available in the world!! Pics!

DFI P35 BoX!

Army colours layout....

Set the whole combo up within half an hour and was shocked that it couldn't boot! I was so excited that i forgotten the power for the GPU as well as slotting my rams... keke
Everything was a breeze...

Results:

Look at that! I managed to clock it to 350mhz (FSB) at stock voltage with a stock cooler! If it was a rev B3 chip u will encounter some problems working at 333mhz and above... More exciting things on over clocking this chip lies ahead after i am done with my water cooling setup this saturday!

WOOTY!

Water Cooling Project underway!!!

Sianz... Been sick for a few days...

Finally can move about and start assembling my PC water cooling components!!! GROWLS!

Had put in 2 components so far... A resevoir to hold the coolant and a pump at the bottom of the casing.

Another look at the 2 components.

Firstly, the pump! I had bought a wooden chip board which act as a "plinth" to hold the pump in place and the black spongy thingy is used to reduce vibration. The plinth is then screwed on to my casing.

Another look. A lot of markings, will spray the wooden chip board black when i have time.

A look at the resevoir. Nothing much though, just waiting for the water circuit to complete and i will fill it up will colourful coolant! KEKE! Stay tuned!

I LOVE SOCCER!!!

Was injured last week and i couldn't play :(

The bruise on my left knee was really bad...

Went for a run yesterday and todae i went for soccer! Love the game especially you are playing with ppl with the same frequency, know where to run, where to pass... Todae, the team was great, lots of through balls and tons of chances all wasted... And i missed a penalty which i seldom miss... Darn...

But i am glad that i scored one finally... Knee feeling a bit week though...

Will not miss any games in the future whahaha~

Housing for my Radiator....

Hmmm... Going water cooling so i needa design a housing for the radiator which will be place on top of my TJ07 casing...

Below are different views of the housing used to hold my radiator...




Looks professional yeah the drawings... This is part of my work in my office...

Going to get my contractor to machine it for me, keke hopefully he won't chop me...

Hopefully, the housing will fit well on my casing, if not gotta drill holes liao, something which i dun wanna do!!!

My PC in a sorry state....

Wha lau, my pc in a very sorry state, removed it from its house... Just use a box to hold the all the components.... look sad ya....



Actually not so sad la... Currently doing some mod to its house keke.... Will be only be ready in one week.....

Its going to get interestng keke...

Chalet!~

So fast, Guilly chalet had past... Really needa thanks those who made this chalet happened, taking their time to plan and order the food, kam siah kam siah~~

Hmm... I do enjoyed myself yesterday nite, just talking around, munching, drinking and of course seeing JQ and TS trying to set up others to drink during the game but their plan sort of back fired and JQ got tipsy haha... Hmm and i did fell for one of JQ's tricks and ended up drinking up a cup of KAHLUA, phew... no disgusting mixtures of different favours of vodka, puke*

Though the chalet is a short one (and of course the weekend is shorter!!!) but its good to spend time like this occasionally to relieve stress from work, do hope tat we could have more of this in the future... keke...

Hmmm... ACID...

Been really, really busy... work and watever...

Went for Annual Camp for the Intellectually Disabled (ACID) Camp last saturday and it was a real experience...

I was assigned to look after Kenny the other trainee after Ming Song had been "red carded" for being too disturbing, which was a "phew" to me.

Incidents that happened!


1) Went into female toilet twice to pull Kenny out within one day!


2) During meal time, i had to disposed some plastic wares (containers for food). Went to one of the bins and found out that it was full. I was still figuring out how to squeeze the plastic wares into the filled up bin and a trainee walked past me and told me, its FULL! I was ...... (speechless)

Well lots happened, especially at night when trainees tried to disturb others who were asleep. Just felt sorry, didn't helped out much in the camp...

Project: Honda~

Ok in the one of the past post, i mentioned that i had work on for my pop's father day present / living room pc... Oh, i decided to name it Project: HONDA (you will know why soon~~)

Pics!

My corridor with some parts of the pc, sorry neighbour... Sheessshhh i didn't know spray was so hard that i ended up wasting 7-8 cans of red paint just to get the work done...Imagine how thick the paint will be on the casing....

However, it didn't go really smoothly, first set back below! I was trying to fit the power supply (psu) back plate to the psu after the paint had dried... but the holes on the back plate didn't fit!?Why why!??!?!

Darn, i found out that the back plate was facing the wrong side... GRRAAA!!! The other side was the correct way as shown below and it is not painted as i thought that it will be facing inside which will not be seen... duh...

2nd setback was, while i was about to finish the spraying on the window panel, a piece of burnt incense descend from no where and landed on the wet paint as shown below, causing me to ^$%^$%^$&^%&%*^.... Gotta resand the surface and respray!!!

Of course there are more "suay" things that happened, which i find it too long to mention...

Resprayed!~ Looks good...

I added rubber c - linings around the edges to prevent cuts..

Tada! Done!

Ok, some pc accessories i got from SLS for the mod... A fan filter to reduce dust entering the pc interior and 4 UV fans for ventilating the pc interior...

Fixed the fans and filters into the empty casing that was being sprayed black...

Another looked with cpu, mobo, rams and gpu all housed in!

Fixing the front cover... and the mystery of why my Project is called HONDA is about to be solved!

Because of the badge i got with the rubber lining... So from a Lian Li Casing (as the badge is covered), it became HONDA casing...

Everything covered up but not yet done yet... Still got the acrylic for the side window...

I drilled a blowhole at the side window and fixed an UV fan onto it to draw the hot air out of the casing...

Its show time! UV lightings also placed within the casing, its time to power up... Can see some UV lights glowing in this pic...

With lights switched off, my pop's rig in action!

A look from a different angle...

Finally, about 99.999% is done! Dun wanna tell where the 0.001% go :p... Anyway i am happy that i had finally completed this project: HONDA and will like to thank my family for being so supportive by keeping quiet (haha) and tolerant for the past 2 months, as i had messed up the living room and corridor (neighbours too) pretty badly (i cleaned up alittle... the rest by mummy though keke...)...

Now the whole system is up in my living room and my parents are enjoying HK TV serials with it keke....
