Be nice to me. This is my first donation
Guess what is this title about? It's the slogan found on the sticker which was given to me during the blood donation today.
Yes, it is my first time to go for blood donation. Well, I was feeling kind of nervous about the whole event. The pity thing is that, the nurse manage to extract only about 100ml of blood from me. This is what happened..
I went through the whole process of filling up the forms, and doing blood pressure test, and followed by iron level blood test. The nurse started preparing all the equipment for the blood transfusion to the packet. When she injected the antibiotics on my right arm, I started to feel neuseus. Then next, she plug in the tube to withdraw my blood. The blood started flowing out from my veins. This is when I started feeling the urge to vomit.
The staffs were really nice. They immediately offered me a plastic bag, in-case if I really vomit, and ask me to lie down on the bed-chair to rest. They then unplug the carrier tube from my arm. Immediately, I could feel the numbness running through my arms. I rested for about 10-20 minutes before I was informed that my donation was considered not made. They told me that I can donate next time, which is in 80 days time before I can proceed.
I stayed on to accompany one of my colleague whom went for donation as well. I was quite fasinated by the mechanism and the amount of blood that was transferred out from your arm to fill the packet. I am not scare of seeing blood, but I am just nervous about the whole process. Well, that was my newbie experience in blood donation. Sounds like fun?
Anyway, I feel that blood donation is good for your body. This is because your body wil reproduce new blood cells to replenish whatever blood that was lost during the blood donation. So everyone, please go for blood donation won't you? Really, you are helping yourself, and at the same time, you are helping someone else who will eventually need to use your blood. Who knows, someone life will be save with the blood you donated. 為賞進樂！

Lomo+graphy
Well, I am not into this subject, as it is really a expensive hobby. No, I don't own any lomo cams. But here is an online shop that I found that sell lomo cams.

What is fun about lomo is that, you will be surprised by the effects that the cam can produce. Different models have different effects. It is just how you want to spent money to capture things in a creative way. Anyway, that all I have to say for today. Everyone enjoy.

Lazy weekends
Yes, its another weekend spent doing nothing much constructive. As usual, my biological clock still not adjusted back to the normal life. I spent Friday and Saturday evening and night playing PSP. For the rest of the days, I simply sleep in. Well, I did do some housework along the way when I am awake.
Haven't played basketball for a while. I spent to play basketball alone for 1.5 hours straight without resting. Yah, playing alone can be quite exhausting. This is because I have the control to the ball for most of the time, and had to chase after the ball after it rebounce from the hook. Anyway, it was a fun session because I knew I sweat it out. Playing sports can really relieve some stress. Anyway, I am feeling kind of exhausted right now. I might have caught a cold and had a slight headache.

Exams over
Yes, my term exams are over. Kidda of feeling tired, but yet I can't sleep early. My biological clock seem to be adjusted to the nightless studying and burning mid-night oil.
Well, for this semester, I don't feel quite good about the exam. Basically, not that I didn't prepare enough, just that the lecturer didn't give any specific tips to study for exams. So I had to study for everything from the notes. So in the end, when I first look at the exam paper, I feel kidda lost. But well, that is worst when you have 4 papers in total to prepare with 2 paper each exam day. First day was totally *cui*, but second day was alright. I just hope the exam result will turn out fine.
So tomorrow I have to go back to work. I am expecting much of back logs to clear which had accumulated over the past 3 weeks.

Flash course on Actionscript 3.0
Well, I registered for this 2-day course,"Advanced Flash" on 30-31 December 2008. I think I didn't really learn much from the lesson. Beside that we learn how to simple game using flash actionscript 3.0. Basically, to a programmer, actionscript may seem really simple and easy to understand and pick up.
I find that actionscript 3.0(AC3.0) does not have too much different from its pre-deccessor, AC2.0 and AC1.0. If I am not wrong, the current flash version 9 cannot run the AC1.0 and AC2.0. Some application written using AC1.0 or AC2.0 wlll encounter run-time error.
Well, if I got the time, maybe I shall start creating my own games using flash actionscript 3.0. Now, I need to concentrate on revising for my upcoming exams on Monday.

Logo Design tip
I was searching for ideas for a recent logo design work and I found this tip which is quite true.
Logo Design Tips
You need to look at your company logo and where you apply it stationery design for example - as a bit like a promise. Customers want to believe in you and your business and they want to have pleasure when they engage with your company at any level even in terms of your stationery design. This is why it is so important to get everything right from your stationery design right through to any events you host everything needs to tell the story.
So what do you think?
I think the best is to really know what your business is all about before deciding on the logo. Branding and Identity design can be quite a tough and tedious process especially to bring forward the message of the business. That is why the commecial companies charges so high for the branding and identity design.

2008 Birthday
It's my birthday today, and I just got back from camp from reservist. I guess I won't be celebrating with anyone today. And guess no gifts from anyone as well. Well, I wasn't really excited over this year birthday celebration because I am half a century old. I guess growing up is a process where you learn new things along the way, meet new people along the way, and also lost some bad things along the way. It's a matter of maturity and becoming a better person.
Well, I am god-dame tired now. I shall go take a nap and rest early. So enjoy the day everyone.

Oktober party
After 1 week of reservist in the west of Singapore, I finally get a break for the weekend. Basically, I was feeling quite tired as I only slept for 2 hours the day before. Yet, I have to spend my Saturday afternoon packing my room. Need to re-arrange the furnitures as well as removing the cob webs, wiping the walls, and mopping the floor. That is to prepare the space for the new double-deck bed that my brother brought in replacement of the old one. So basically, the whole room undergo a revamp. Besides my bed remain at the same location, the rest of the book cupboards has to be moved. Now my study table is facing the west instead of east. My network internet connection kidda became bad with the re-arrangement.
Well, after packing the room, and making all the necessary relocations of the funitures, I rush to Bugis to meet the Uni gang. Well, it was suppose to be a birthday celebration sessions for the october babies. We wanted to have steamboat initially, but settled for western meal at NYDC. I thought the food was quite ok, and the pizza I ordered was quite "Oishi"! After which, we went to the arcade to play the electronic basketball. I think the game machine simply let you de-stress, yet make you concentrate on improving your accuracy and strength. My high-score for the day, "149" on the second try.
Next up is the real party time. We went to TopOne KTV from 11pm to 4.30am. Well, I would say, if you are really keen for KTV, that's a good hangout to go, simply because it let you sing until you have no voice. Took quite many silly photos during the outing, and ate my first birthday cake for this year celebration. Anyway, I reach home at 5am, and slept for the next 12 hours through the whole day.
And I am now listening to Jay's latest ablum, "魔杰座"
