Right. I got myself an Asus A8Js recently and it comes with Windows Vista Home Premium installed. At first I was quite happy with the new operating system as it seems to function the way I wanted it to. To get the same function on Windows XP I had to do alot of customization and tweaking. But a few days into my use of Windows Vista led me to a huge disappointment. After logging, I just got a blank screen with my cute little white cursor in the middle of the screen. Multiple restarts did not help. The problem comes back after a fresh installation of Windows Vista. So now everytime I start up the computer I will have to manually start Windows Explorer. But that's not the point. After installing the latest updates for Windows Vista from Microsoft, the DAMN WINDOWS VISTA GOES DEAD! I can't even START Task Manager. Screw Windows Vista. I am going to do 2 copies of Windows XP on my laptop. Windows Vista is simply one of the worst operating system from Microsoft after Windows 2000/NT.
I went for the SP canoing team camp after my friend had much success persuading me to go. It was a BLAST! So many fun activities like "Amazing Race at Orchard Road", "Shim Night" and of course the canoing activites. After the camp, I decided to join the club. All I can say about the first training is that it's SO BLOODY TOUGH! We ran(not jog!) 3.8km non-stop, 60+ guys are supposed to do 1500 pull ups, a shit lot of push ups. But after looking at my seniors, who have great abs and stuffs(One my seniors has 8packs and big biceps!), I decided to continue attending the training. Well, it's for both the physical training and also to fuel my passion for canoing since secondary one.
Firstly I apologize for being so lazy and decided not to update after so long. Next, My life in Singapore Polytechnic started a few days ago. And all I can say is that poly life is so FUN! Although my class has a miserable amount of girls ( like 1 or 2. But hell, it's an engineering course! What do you expect?) I have many interesting and fun-loving classmates. And did I mention that the campus is huge? It's so huge that I got lost quite a number of times while exploring. Generally my timetable is pretty relaxing too. 10 to 5 on Mondays, 1 to 5 on Tuesdays, 8 to 12 on both Wednesday and Thursday and 8.30 to 12 on Fridays. There's so much more free time compared to miserable Junior Collage students who have to stay in school from 7am to 5pm every weekdays. Nevertheless, if you are studying in Singapore Polytechnic and would like to meet me, do contact me through my email. Or you can always find out more about class DARE/FT/1B/24's timetable and bump into me.
Cheers,
