Visit to SDC tomorrow!

31/7/2014

 

Will be visiting SDC tomorrow afternoon. The fast craft will take us from camp to mainland at around 12:30pm. Then bus will take us all the way to SDC.

Dismissal time will be at 16:00 sharp.

Will write more once I got the time this weekend

Signing off @ 10:28pm

As always, take care and I'll see you soon!

Rain rain and more rain

30/7/2014

 

Have been raining for two days straight since I book in. Many activities are cancelled because of this. It also left us with a huge load of admin time to do our own things. Since we are not supposed to use our phone during admin time, I used the SAF issued tablet to do my own things. Last week, I used the tablet to do my research on how to speed up my SSD.

This week, I researched about my upcoming new ear piece. I think I'm pretty sure it is the one I want for now. Just waiting for the correct time to spend that money.

I have two hours of hand phone and free time now to do my own things. So I'm here updating my blog, before buying the earpiece?

It is confirmed that I will be going to SDC this Friday. I will have my swimming lesson before booking out to SDC and then go home from there. Today's SOC is cancelled because of the rain. There will be no IPPT and route march this week :D

Tomorrow, I will finally have my SAF fire power demonstration. We are asked to prepare our ear plugs for tomorrow's event. Apparently, they will fire off weapons to show off the firing power of the weapons, probably HE grenades as well.

It is nearly two months from the time I enlist. I'm sure before I know it, I will already be in my BMT phase. Which also means that it's two months more to my POP. I've been posting and updating a lot of my life on my blog, therefore I will be extending my web hosting subscription to bring you more content in the future.

I got my iPhone back and I'm using it as my daily driver again!

Preparing for book in...

29/7/2014

Downloading a trilogy audiobook
Decided to step into the audiobook bandwagon, so I'm downloading 3 audiobooks (Trilogy). I'm not revealing the name of the audiobook as the book is intended for adult audiences only? What I can say is that the movie is coming out soon, and I'm lazy to read the book to figure out what the buzz is all about...

The trailer for the movie was circulating my entire Facebook feed for days... 

Booking in tomorrow! Visiting SDC on Friday!
As always, take care and I'll see you soon...

I hate feeling like this...

28/7/2014

 
I can't take it anymore. At this rate, I think I'm going crazy sooner or later.
Not going to hide from it anymore, not going to lie to myself about it anymore.
My face is smiling, my heart is crying
It is just not worth it, not worth it for you.

From today onwards, I shall be a new person.
Treasure those who are around me that are worth treasuring.
I don't want to live in the past any more.
In just a few short months, I met a whole lot of new people.
I need to reevaluate who stay and who leave.

Sitting down on my chair, staring at my computer screen.
Thinking about the future that I see myself in.
Who knows what will happen tomorrow?
Just imagine if everyone is staring at a countdown clock of how much time they have left
Will people start to treasure each other more?

I tried.
I realized I meant nothing to you at all.
Talked to numerous people about it.
I'm stubborn and willful, just like you.
If only my brain is just like my computer's hard disk, with the ability to delete and modify
If only I could just live a new life, leaving everything behind.
I'm sick and tired about all the mistakes that I've made that caused regrets.
Though, it is all part of the growing up process.

Forget about me, forget about who I was in the past.
Understand that a person who care will never be like this.
Understand that it will never work anymore, and people do change.
I'm never going to be the same again.
(Remember how much you said I changed? We are just not meant to be)
NEVER...
You will just be someone that I used to know, and I will just be someone that you used to know
One day, if we meet again. Treat me as someone you just know
I'll be fine, I promise!

Child of Light gameplay, and classic oldie?

28/7/2014

 
Very impressed with the graphics and gameplay physics of Child of Light! I urge everyone to go try out this game! Video recorded using Bandicam and uploaded to YouTube.
Found a classic oldie, enjoy! 
That Girl in Pinafore will be available in Blu-ray soon!

Took a bunch of photos today, will be uploading them tomorrow after I wake up

Signing off @ 4:45am

Long weekend, hunt for a new earpiece (UPDATED)

27/7/2014

 
Will only be booking on Tuesday!

I just checked my website email and realized that there's actually email from suppliers regarding supply information for power banks? I wish to inform that the power bank dis-assembly video was done due to my interest in electronic gadgets/appliances. I do not wish to jump into selling anything yet. The website will remain free/ad free!

I'm shopping for a new pair of earpiece. Something happened to my old beyerdynamic pair and I do not want to explain what happened to it here, what I can say is that it was a 'sad ending'... 

Currently what I want from that new pair of earpiece is that:
  1. Good sound
  2. Microphone
  3. Bluetooth enabled
  4. NFC pairing
  5. Cannot be too costly (< $200)

Aiming for a pair that have everything I want, just waiting for more confirmation before I spend that money :/
When I'm with you, there's no place I'd rather be...
I'm creating pictures to use for the slideshow frame at the top of my website

UPDATE
Done, some photos have been heavily edited to fit them into frame. Going out tomorrow, and will probably take much more pictures for the slideshow.

As always, take care and I'll see you soon...

Optimizing SSD

26/7/2014

 
Picture
Performance on Sequential Read/Write is almost the same as before. While the Random Read and Random Write sees significant improvement? Kind of... Finally got the Random Write over the advertised speed. Random Read is still far from reaching the advertised speed, but still sees at least 15k IOPS improvement across the system. 

To achieve the above results, I installed Intel(R) Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller driver to replace the original driver used by Microsoft in Windows 8.1

The driver was supplied by Fujitsu, as I couldn't find a download link outside. The version supplied is also the latest version by Intel.

As always, take care and I'll see you soon
