Just came back from SYF Dance Fantasia. It was at the University Cultural Centre (UCC). You See See LOL. It was pretty good, actually i did quite liked the two JC dance items. But dunnoe why so many JC got Gold in this years SYF but never see them dance. Some of the secondary schools were pretty good too.
But the stage abit not wide enough. make the dancer all squeeze together. Abit spoil the formation. Plus the side cricle seating of the UCC really sucks lah. You cant even see half the stage. I got some pics but hor my phone no space so cannot take ald. Got a video of SAJC dance item but i think linking the youtube one will be better.
Then got one item is by a Vietnam school i think. Their pairing combination so funny. Show you the picture next time. And i also caught site of the Mrs Lim. Wear black and red, so sick.

This is what I sent in:
I noticed that in this half-a-year or so, the audio volumes of MediaCorp's programs are getting very uneven. Loudness of different channels is different, like Channel U is softer than Channel 8. It is irritating when you change to Channel U to watch a program while there is an advertisement on Channel 8, because when you return, the volume is unacceptably loud. If I do not change the volume when I watch channel U, I cannot hear anything clearly at all. It is the same for other channels.
Similarly, when channels go into advertisements, advertisements are perpetually louder than the program itself. I have to reduce the volume of my television set whenever it goes into advertisements. It is very tiring and frustrating to have to do the same adjustment 8 times per hour of television program. Not only does this happen on Channel 8 and U, it also occurs for Channel 5 and NewsAsia. Channel NewsAsia is broadcasted over the pacific region and it shows a lot when volumes are not constantly pleasant.
I do not know if this is some tactic of preventing people from changing channels so that they watch the advertisements in full or it is a technical error that has gone way past its date of getting repaired. Whatever reason that has caused this, it certainly shows a lowered level of professionalism. The advertisement and program broadcast departments does not seem to be communicating enough.
MediaCorp is our one and only national television broadcaster and has provided us with programs of a high level of technical expertise. This could very well be a simple error that has been overlooked and I am sure MediaCorp will look into the matter seriously and i hope to see the problem rectified.
This is what came out:
I HAVE noticed, in the past six months or so, that the audio volumes of MediaCorp programmes have become very uneven. The loudness of different channels differs, with Channel U softer than Channel 8.
It is annoying when you switch to Channel U to watch a programme while there is an advertisement on Channel 8, because when you switch back, the volume is unacceptably loud. If I don't raise the volume when I watch Channel U, I can't hear anything clearly at all. It is the same with other channels.
Similarly, advertisements are always louder than the programme itself. I have to lower the volume whenever there are advertisements. It is very tiring and frustrating to have to do this eight times an hour.
This occurs not only with Channel 8 and Channel U, but also Channel 5 and Channel NewsAsia.
I don't know if this is some tactic to deter viewers from changing channels so they watch advertisements in full or a technical error that has not been fixed.
Whatever the reason, it shows a lower level of professionalism. The advertisement and programme broadcast departments do not seem to communicate enough.

Whenever I am feeling low I look around me and I know It’s not a problem if you don’t work Can ask the MP for phone bills I will always recall the city Know every street and shore ERP, Road Tax and COE Winding through my Singapore
This is home truly, and I know it must be Blindly give charity, Durai steal fund you don’t know This is home surely, as my senses tell me This is where I gamble alone, for this is where casinos’ home
When there are troubles to go through We'll find a way to start anew Malaysia’s water is too ex Longkang water, filter and drink So we'll build our dreams together Just like we've done before Team up with China once again Get cheated like Suzhou park
This is home truly, and I know it must be CPF can’t take out, they make you work till sixty-five This is home surely, as my senses tell me GST increase to seven, for this is where tax is too low
This is home truly, and I know it must be SBS less profit, bus fare increase 2 times more This is home surely, as my senses tell me This is where bubble gum is no, for this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know it's home For this is where kuan yew cried for
Yo! Back with a report on this phone. I wouldn't say how cool it is coz i am here to complain how bad it is. Okay lar, to be fair i didn't think the specs were that bad, seeing that it is a new phone. News phones normally do have relatively good stats. Just that a 2 mp camera just turns me off again. How to take good pictures!
But it looks okay to me lah. The shell and sorts. Comes in black and red. Its almost going to be released in Hong Kong ald and Singapore is so slow! It turned up at the CommuicAsia 2007 in Singapore. Caught my attention when it was featured on news. This girl was trying to show its shaking abilities. This phone has a new Shake control that allows the easy way to change your tune: just shake your phone. With Shake control activated, press and hold the Walkman key, then flick your wrist. A vibration lets you know that the track has been changed - a new song from your current playlist is selected randomly then played automatically.
Sounds cool right. But it was so disgusting the way the phone had to be shake. The showgirl took a shake of the phone, whose shaking distance ranged from her ear to her breast. And it was so sudden, so quick it looked like she wanted to commit suicide. The action is seriously hilarious lah. Imagine u have to do that "inconspicuous" shake every time you wanted to end or start your music playing. People will think you are mad. Couldn't they invent something that is more gentle and less violent? What a stupid waste of its function.
Ahh enuf of raving about its bad abilities. But coz of its orientation-sensitivity, the phone can tilt rotate its own screen image according to your phone orientation. So if you tilt it horizontally, the screen will rotate and allows you to view it the right way up. It's pretty good a function coz i dun think anyone would want to be asked why they are looking at their phones upside down, when they just cant see the pic coz its reversed. You may have heard of this before, like when u take pictures with some phones, the orientation changes to horizontal. But thats not automatic, This is.
They still have vlogging and pic blogging, but then if Singapore doesn't support not much use also. I dont know if they will support it. Now some pics of this phone:
Revival of my blog seems almost as bleak as Saddam's resurrection. Nevertheless, i got it back already and i hope to blog as much as i can for no apparent purpose. Okay lar, actually cause i am really bored. I mean, you'd rather i waste precious time on blogging than going to find stray cats to kill, right? And cats arent even half as fun, they bite. So now i am back here, its gonna be really lame from now onwards.
I spent the hole day doing nothing. Which is really odd cause how can you be doing nothing? Now, if nothing were considered something, then i would be doing something, not nothing. I cant figure out which is which, but i know i did ?thing but i dont know if it's everything, something, anything or nothing. So i did things.
Then i tried to change Jay's lyrics into something crappy. The song titled "Excuses". Old old song ald, but i suddenly feel like re-writing it. But it turned out that i was so crappy i couldn't even crap up a few sentences of crappy lyrics. Then i went to play a game, which needed you to earn 300k in 80 turns by hatching and selling creatures. Stupid lah, i missed my turn cause i went to cook lunch then all the fukin creatures died. Then i had to replay the whole game again.
Haizz. Its nearing the end of hols ald and i am still staring at my computer screen. No sign of attempt to begin finding for my lost exam timetable. I was told that exam begins on the first day of sch reopening. So scary lah. But i dunoe if i hsoudl trust the teachers. They said A lvl is hard, must study well. They also said the same things for kindergarten graduation, PSLE and O lvls. Lying teachers are so irresponsible. I cant afford to screw thr Cts. I've got lofty aspirations, so high i cant see them ald. No idea what they were, coz its too high.
Then at night, i mean evening time, i watch the recorded shen diao xia lu. Wah so fuked up lah the show. A lot of personality and concept error. Portrayal of little concepts to major ideologies are all so messed up. I wonder why people can say its nice. The thing i hate most is personality error in film. It just sucks lah. I've got lots more examples with Harry Potter film. But not today not today.
Surprisingly, i am not at all sleepy even though i only slept for 2 hours yesterday! So odd. I like immortal lidat. Oh ya, i AM immortal. And the EmailCashPro thingy is so cool. http://www.emailcashpro.com/?r=hardyivan007 Lidat also can earn money lah even is not alot. Its not that i dun have enuf money to use, i just want more. My life is getting a bit like, Money and Death. Not a bad combi but then use the money b4 u die lar.
Now i feel so bored. I want to read book. AND SHIT MY PW CRASH WITH TEMASEK SEM LAR. IRRITATING SEMINAR. SOUNDS ALL LIKE GARMEN PROPAGANDA TO ME. Wheew.
And you noe the song "You Raise Me Up". The lyrics so sick. [But when you come and I am filled with wonder]. You come and someone is filled with wonder. LOL. Is wonder white in color?
