Got it

Yup, I've got the piece of technology together with 5 other friends, it's really nice to see that your friends and you have similar interest, moreover at the same time. Now I'm looking at so many NDS games available here. Just key in the words and woala start downloading!!

That aside, I realised that I have not been productive in any ways possible. There's 3 projects waiting to be done and of which, for my part, 2 is in the process(heading towards doomsday) and the other one has yet to start. More stressful events awaits me after the Sydney trip.

Judging from the time I wrote this tree chapter, i'm not really in the mood to look for music, so that's all for today

I felt left out

16th June was the date I brought a Nintendo DS Lite for myself, was quite happy that I got it for myself and also a bunch of friends whom I buy with, until I realise only the console that I have is different from others after I left in a rush. Thanks Friend W for smsing me...

I felt left out, so much so that it hurts me, and the best part...the fault lies with myself

The emptyness in me...perhaps when your birthday gets nearer, you'll get emotional rather easily. But I shouldn't give myself excuses, I'll get it changed. And thanks Friend T for singing a birthday song online, much appreciated

No regrets

I'm supposed to die today for not being able to link my web service(i don't even know if it is webservice after Friend A n Friend V talked about it on the MRT). So...for now need to throw away the screw driver for I'm feeling very *screwed up* right now..

Nonetheless. that's not the main point of today's entry. I happen to saw Friend R's blog and I wanna be as cool as him to write reviews on the Nintendo DS Lite as well and hope that it can help those who are deciding whether NDS or PSP. Sad to say my heart lies in NDS now and since you are unluckily to find this page, Tree's gonna tell you all the bad bad stuffs about PSP and the juice you can squeeze out of the NDS.


Nintendo Dual Screen Lite (NDS Lite) Vs Playstation Portable(PSP)

Just like in Friend R's blog, several actually ponder why I've went berserk over this piece of handheld technology over the PSP. Rather than writing millions of words, I've used a matrix to compare and comment on these.

*P.S. Don't say I didn't warnyou, I mentioned previously I'm against PSP right at the moment!!!!

Comments

  • Better games than PSP
  • Longer survival rate
  • Stylus is fun
  • LAN is even more fun!
  • 2 screens means putting if further from your face and teaches you to focus and concentrate
  • There will be screen protector, so unless you use a pen knife as a stylus pen or press so hard that until the screen dent or worst cracks, otherwise just scribble
  • PSP got microphone?
  • PSP can draw on the screen?
  • Just by the battery life and you’ll suffer on travels especially on long travels.
  • Should users are going for downloaded games, they have to watch for version compatibility and the space they have. Image cramming games, mp3 and videos into a 1GB memory stick!!!
  • Everyone has MP3 player, my handphone is already one so why do I need to listen from PSP?
  • Colors are gonna be covered by case protector, so what’s with the gold color?
  • Versioning always cause gaming problems for some games cannot be played on certain versions

Feasibility?

ALL THE WAY!!

If you want a bak ga liao type of technology then take this lor, for now for me it's worth dirt

Thanks for the lil thoughts

It may be a tiring day though but here's a run through
  • 09.00 - 11.00 Time taken to woke up + reach school
  • 11.00 - 13.00 Breakfast + afternoon nap
  • 13.00 - 17.00 @ CO room area loitering, finished the basic car liscense theory book
  • 17.00 - 18.00 I don't understand myself, it's not worth it but I'll still buy the horrendous Chicken rice @ S.canteen
  • 18.00 - 22.00 CO practice + plans for NDS Lite purchase maddness
Now I simply wanna thank Sister A, Sister J, Cousin C, Aunty C and Dad. They really made my day. I've got a brand new stripped(?!) shoe which needs a size reduction, a durable hardy Billabong to replace the previous one which has passed away, some cash($_$) and going to get a sandal. I'm gonna love this year's birthday, wahahaha.

Supposed work went hay wire

I just don't understand myself, I can actually do something for my project for today and in the end? Lead myself to look at Pokemon Diamond/Pearl information and NDS. Worst still, I woke up at noon when I'm suppose to wake the hell up @ 7.30am. And guess what? I took another afternoon nap before the second hit 4pm. Another 'Re-woke' session at 6+ , ate instant noodles which I'm nt suppose to and off I went to run at 9pm, back at 10pm. Rest and took a cooling sensational shower and here I am writing blog than doing Paypal. I had better do something before the next week starts for I need to show Lecturer L for supervision of my part in project

CO & NDS

11th June is the first monday of the 2 weeks term break. And it's CO last day of intensive yet slack day. But of course, we must thank Friend R for giving us such wonderful and excellent welfare by providing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Honestly, I'm really really grateful that he did it. Might as well just say anything that fills my stomach(no chilli and rubbish trash nonsense please) always gets a good impression from me, but unfortunately bribing does not work on me, unless you are flithy rich.

Enough of food, today's also the day where my interest for NDS Lite revived!!!! I'm gonna save for NDS as well, on top of PS3. Thanks to Friend R, Friend W and Friend A, they manage to persuade me with all those nonsensical games and so on, blah x3. End of the day, more savings to satisfy my D-E-S-I-R-E-S

Haven heard the theme song of FFX, it's the graphics, sounds and storyline that seduced me to finished my first ever Final Fantasy


09 June 2007

I'm amazed and really admit I'm such a miser today. This morning, breakfast and lunch was served by the welfare of the CO. bad bad me. Then after CO, went to a friend K's 21st birthday bash, and settled my dinner. In conclusion? I didn't used a single cent today and the tradeoffs are as bad. Full CO training from morning till lunch and attend the mind blasting brithday celebration

Lossy...Lost it

Guess what? It's Karma day today from 4pm onwards. I was literally laughing at somebody's email
who lost his thumbdrive and u know the usual soap opera scripts, what comes around, comes around. Lcuky to the one who got hold of my secrets in my thumbdrive.

Oh well, back to basics on Bitching with Tree. Seems to me that all the students I've met in school has a 'happy-happy-day' written all over the face. IT's coming. IT is not Great Singapore Sale, it's the 2 weeks term break for all. Read the previous post and you'll know why I'm about to enter purgatory.

"Holidays are marching in!!!" That's the last sentence of Bull**** I can tell you for this semester can really drive me mad and sad. The term holidays means time or period of exemption from any requirement, duty, assessment in dictionary but in my dictionary, it's a hidden name for Disasterous Projects.

Of cos, you'll be heading towards self destruction if you don't spend the 'holidays' doing it. Not to mention NYPCO Sdyney trip, yes...it's gonna be fun.... (=_=||| )I mean we are actually going there for performance sake, so shouldn't complain since there is subsidy other than your parents.Enough said, I'm going to 'enjoy' my 'holidays' 'peacefully'.

P.S. Sometimes I wonder why there is people who can actually enjoy life in Singapore. It feels like you are standing on a rope and a small push is all it takes to fall. . .

Urge to do something....felt it and yeah, did it

Ooooo...felt a sense of achievement doing things, actually no..doing lame things is one of my pasttime. Seeing everyone doing some questionnaire of some sort, i've decided to give it another shot, knowing it's gonna be fake, here's the results


Your EQ is 153

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.


This survey is god damn freakin true about me as a Gemini
You are 80% Gemini


This one is pure BullS#!+

You know how to attract, entice, and keep whoever you want. You are truly appealing.

You Can Change Your Life

You've probably already improved your life a great deal, and you're no stranger to change.
You're able to make very difficult changes in your life. It's all about state of mind.
And even if you have some trouble changing, you're smart enough to get support or take a different approach.
So go ahead and dare to make things better. You know you can do it!

I think I have enough of these nonsense

Too long, too *song*

My.my...my last post was in 29 May, where was I? Actually I don't want to surprise you but i was slacking off the first 8 weeks in school, which is a....pretty bad thing to do. Nonetheless, I'm back on popular demand. It's so late now, so i'll end this quick

Recently I've brought a Crumpler bag, cost me a month of my life and ~S$190 oh my savings. I had no choice...my previous bag died a week ago and I had to find one so that it can rest in peace. Anyway, now...the next thing to save for is a PS3, gonna take me another half a year of my life to reach that amount, bless me

Oh yes, I've chanced upon this picture, it's called "Who wants to be a millionaire - Guest appearance, Spartan king"
