Tired
I think 1 post is not enough to summarise my hectic semester... but it had been a good semester. Maybe it just keeps getting better. Maybe it's because my semester is so chaotic, I dread the dullness of holidays... and also maybe I now must prioritise my CCA. It's not that I don't like it... I mean, I can rest... and do stuff (hvnt figured what to do... maybe go work?) and JMD... well, JMD became more lively.. and fun, but... it doesn't feel like home anymore... it's like, I dont bother trying to fit in... and also, JMDevious not there anymore... Stupid a**hole's fault... Made everyone mad...

Firstly, let me congratulate everyone from Mikonos Studio, and Y4y, and of course the rest of the people in DET '05, for making it through this seriously screwed up semester. But especially to Mikonos Studio and Y4y, cos of the very happy "retrenchment" letter we received from NYP. OMG WE ROCKS GUYS!!! haha... our efforts not in vain... not that Mr Fang (rofl... I'll always remember this... and his letter... wahahahaha..) and the others not good, jst that maybe, we got lucky. Yea.. hope can create a better game next semester. But hopefully, Im motivated to help Chinykian do his holiday Flash game. Chiny thanks for asking me to help. Hope I wont disappoint you.

Next up, would be congratulatin my kids from CCKSS, dont be sad you didnt win. Learn not from the result, but the process. Maybe you dont understand why I kept saying it's YOUR game, not mine, but I'll explain it now, and maybe you'll understand it later. This is especially useful (I think...) if you wanna be a games programmer like us. You guys gave birth to this game idea. No matter how sucky it may seem at first, you have to see it through and make it not sucky. You need to know what you want in your game, that's why I keep asking, what's your game about. I know what's it about, but you as creators, need to know even better than I do. I just program the game for you, I didnt create this game. YOU did, It's YOUR game. Not mine (ok, maybe abit, cos programmers are part of the team... but technically, it was suppose to be your game). You need to take pride in the fact that, this was YOUR idea, YOU took time and effort to materialise this game. You need to feel a sense of ownership towards your game, if not, why bother creating it? Maybe 1 week is too short to start feeling for your game, feeling the need to make it the best, with or without competition (this is bullshit, it's competition everywhere, whether you like it or not). If you guys wanna continue on to be games programmer, you'll understand soon, the feeling of having a complete game up and running, after long weeks of sleepless nights (I didnt 'ton' all the way, some of my friend did...), headaches (it felt like Doomhammer on me), bugs, crashes, late assignments(again, not me =D). It's like, seeing your baby and feeling like a pround parent. Really exhilarating. It's really worth everything you do. I cant really describe the feeling... but all I know, I wanna do it all over again... Just like a rollercoaster ride... but with rewards at the end >D

Abit naggy.. but nevermind, it's my blog and I can write as much as I damn well please. Ha! erm.. I think I have a lot more other stuff to write.. but, I forgot what was it... Moving to my new house soon. Gonna paint my room tomorrow. Yay~! JMD will be neglected for awhile, gomen-ne, minna-san. I have a 'donut-fetish' currently... hope I'll get over it soon... some people might know what I mean, but let's not fuss about it

During the last week, I made alot of friends. To Xiao Hui, get well soon! And thanks for being there when I need you. Gonna miss you lot from SGCC, and I think I changed my mind about DMD and a few of my DET mates during this semester... sure they are noisy, and sometimes empty vessels, but most of they are a nice lot, just easily misunderstood.

To everyone, have a happy holiday, good luck for your exams and whatever else you may be doing =) Ururei rabu! donut-rabu!!
