Mugged hard for my exams(at least for my first paper which i flunked and then got demoralized and had the sian sian attitude for the other 2 papers) mostly with KW and Joel and sometimes Alvin at 3 major places. They are at home, at Changi Airport aka C.A.P and Republic Polytechnic. KW, Joel and I also went to Mug at Moberly( aka M.A.M) once.
M.A.M was a pure disaster, we met at Tiong to get stuff for our overnight ordeal where we thought we would be studying our AROC very intensively due to the muggish atmosphere we were expecting, so we bought this...
Here's a list of what we bought, i don't have the receipt so i dono the price for each item, but total was 20+ bucks, haha
Items bought:
- Pringles x 3 (Tomato Salsa by Joel, Sour Cream and Onion by Ka Wei, Barbecue by me not in pic)
- Meiji Coffee flavoured Milk - Joel
- Hershley's Special Dark -Me
- Hershley's Cookies and Cream - Ka Wei
- Wang Wang -Joel (I think he took the free stickers home)
- Monster Mamee BBQ Flavour -Shared by Joel and Me
- Skittles -Me
- Ricola Elderflowers -Me
- Polo Sweet (look carefully under the hershley's cookies and cream) -Me
- Camel Nuts (look carefully under theMamee, u can barely see the top) -Joel
Then more and more people came, as in arrived at MAM, stop thinking dirty, and the place grew noisier. There was this table next to us who ordered MACdelivery and the delivery guy got lost, quite funny =x. We soon lost concentration and had this sudden craving for cup noodles. So while Ka Wei and I went to Dover MRT to get some cup noodles, Joel started watching Top Gear and it ended with Joel and me watching it till like 5am and we nua awhile before going to FC4 to eat breakfast and go home.

The mugging sessions at CAP were much more successful. The reason why we chose CAP was because after mugging at Republic Poly Library one day, Joel suggested that we go to study overnight. And most of the time we would head over to RP where we would be damn cui and study a little here and there. RP really has a good library with a conducive study environment. The lights there are not "overbright" like ours and they let in sky light with all the glass panels.
Time flew and it was time for the last 2 papers which were on consecutive days. The last 2 papers were ok but apparently my classmates felt that AROC was hard and AIS was easy. Anyway, after AIS, Joel, Ka Wei and I went to The Cathay to catch Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The movie was quite ok with a few not very funny jokes and monotonous screaming. We had wanted to catch Death Race but Ka Wei couldn't as he had to reach home by 3 =/.
The next day, I went to Outram Park to meet Alvin and go for the F1 interview to serve drinks. Screw the school 1, so picky then select me but not my friend. After that, we met up with Joel and headed to Pastamania Funan to eat. Been damn long since i ate at Pastamania. So i ate an UPSIZED beef bologonese with and Joel ate a Creamy Chicken with upsized drink which he drank until he almost puked. Alvin ate before he met me so he eat 1 combo c only.
After that, we headed towards Adelphi to get my pre-amp from Jaben. Fiio Pre-Amp, $16 each. Its quite good, it amplifies the bass without reducing the treble and also boosts the sound by a little. Runs on a single triple A battery and is small and compact. Anyway GPGT.
After that we went to COMEX where Joel bought his Razer noise reducing earphones, Alvin bought his Creative X-FI mp3 player and i bought my RAM. The reason for me buying is because I hope to use my laptop in University, and also to play TF2 without lag, the latter being the main reason(the previous sentence was written in LUI format). I bought 2 Kingston DDR2 667Mhz at $55 per piece, total cost is $110 which is dirt cheap considering 1 gig of ram was like near hundred last year.

My new RAMs unopened:
Now its in my com =)
Com with 1Gb RAM
Com with 4Gb RAM
There is a significant difference in speed especially when i alt tab out of memory eating games such as Team Fortress 2 and I know Windows XP only reads 3Gb of RAM but i am hoping that my mobile graphics card would be able to use the last 1Gig for its memory as theres this hypermemory thingy where the graphics card uses the computer ram as extra memory, but until now i still do not know how to test if it works or not.
Thats about all, oh and i wanted to say i lost my Pilot 2020 shaker at CAP while studying for AROC paper. First my eraser then now my pencil, Z.
I have typed this entry in semi-perfect English as Joel likes to point out my grammatical and spelling errors.
