its final... MGS3>>>>MGS2

hahaha..i cleared mgs3..and went back to play mgs2..so mayb i could understand all the twists and the la-le-lu-lei-lo crap tt ppl from mgs2 were spewing out..and of czu the obsure stuff ocelot was talking abt in mgs2..haha.. but i must say..mgs3>>>>mgs2 in any sort of way..definately, in terms of realism, fun, music and boss fight..

one of my favs for vid games are the boss fights.. cuz they arent ur run-in-the-mill or the tranq-his-head/sneak-ard-and-choke kinda enemy u see ard..they really make the game fun and the user to think+react quickly.. well..and a fat enemy tt plants bombs(fatman..mgs2) and moves ard in skates doesnt really appeal to me compared to a flamethrower wielding crazy astronaut complete with jetpacks(the fury, mgs3)...well.. those are the kinda bosses in mgs2 and mgs3..hahaha. the end was a really gd boss battle(annoying too esp when he keeps healing and u cant find him..)

mgs2..its still a great game..but v old now

mgs3..which is total pwnage.. recommended for all to try, esp those who loves action/stealth games, its abit old now though..haha(i feel like im advertising..hahah)

screenshots from mgs3

the flamethrowing wielding crazy astronaut guy--the fury

well enough abt comparing vid games.. talk abt reality liao..hahaha.. i luckily managed to change some of the dates for my RT..if nt it will really suck cuz ill miss out some v impt stuff..(like on 31st may..tts pretty impt..hahah) and of cuz some of sparex as well... oh yea..did i mention ill be gg back to help sparex..hahaha..gotta help them out.. have to make sparex successful since when we all started(or were sort of given the idea to start) it.... this time its 4days(*gasp!) long.. im sure it will be fun..hahaha

and i heard exam results out this fri?? i dunno..am i correct? i hope nt!! hahaha..i wanna enjoy more of my holidays without knowing i suck at this exam papers..hahahaha.. but sianz...im gg to miss 75% of the main comm chalet cuz of RT... T.T

training was gd last week...super mega tiring though..shifu on fire man... kick oso like almost endless like tt..haha.. even at the last few sets of pushups i oso buai tahan alr... knees keep touching ground..hope no one saw tt man..so paiseh..hahahah.. but looking forward to trainings! hahaha..esp supper after tt..=P

fyp fyp fyp fyp fyp fyp.....

ah yea..i alr got my fyp a few days ago..hahaha...i copy and paste the exact stuff abt it huh...

Title MATLAB Based Speaker Verification System – Generative Modeling
(yes v cheem right..coupled with madlab somemore)

Imagine that someone calls you in the middle of the night, without much difficulty you can identify who is the caller and express your unpleasantness receiving such a call. The distinctive features of a person’s voice enable us to verify the caller identity. Such capability can be incorporated into machine, which will be useful for access control to building, access to personal computer, network, or even phone banking. The main focus of this project is to design a speaker verification system using MATLAB. The students will get to learn latest voice-print techniques and hands-on programming experience using MATLAB. Guidance will be provided to familiarize the student to basic speech processing technology and MATLAB programming. The students may also have the opportunity to involve in systematic collection of speech samples from reliable sources to “train” the algorithm. This project focuses on generative approach (e.g. Gaussian mixture model) to speaker modeling.

Pre-requisite: Programming, Digital Signal Processing theory.

sounds interesting right?? hahah..but i dun have didgital signal processing theory...=(.. hahah..but i can do programming... then again..when i called the prof he nv asked me abt whether i know dsp... then again...i smoked him and said i knew abit of madlab..the basics(which i didnt know!) crapalistic..hahah..guess i gotta learn...

but....the prob is..he wanna meet me next thurs! argh! ahhaha...time to really mug hard...

anw..jus yest one of the chil jang (cute) girls--ming na, flew off to US for work and study and hopefully staying away from swine flu at the same time... well.. a few of us surprised her(only 1 person shouted the "SURPRISE" word..then again she has loud enough to cover for all of us...) and we went to jp to chill..hahah

a very formal picture
acting surprised....hahaha

but hor..we all worry for ming na la.. y leh? i mean..out of 10 ppl there, 9 ppl heard her said she's landing at "destroyed airport" when its supposed to be "detroit airport"(the one who heard correctly is ming na herself).. well imagine her telling locals "im going to destroyed airport" then GG liao.. straits times will have the article "SGEAN GIRL GOES TO JAIL AFTER ADMITTING SHE WANTS TO DESTROY AIRPORT."

and she has problems pronouncing Los Angeles(Last Angeles anyone?? in which we kinda taught her to say LA--then again i might have misspelled the place..haha) and more words and...wanting to ask how to go las vagas in chi...gd..she's gd..ahhaha.. among other things crystal bought her a guide book in the US..mayb what ming na really needs is an electronic dictionary tt pronounces words(yes evil i know)..hahahaha.=P

these few days been playing an old but still equally as epic game.. mgs3.. im quite an MGS fan(been playing mgs1-3!! ) too bad mgs4 is on ps3..but ill play it one day!! muahaha.. one thing tt impresses me and what i feel tt seperates mgs from the other action games(besides its gripping storyline) is due to its realism.. u cant find many games as realistic as this.. from minor details like tranq rounds appearing sticking out enemies at exactly where u shot them to like shooting enemies radios actually prevents them from calling backup, ability to interrogate enemies by pressing knives(or the X button,i think..usually i jus tranq the guards or slam them to dizziness..hah, lightly after grabbing them from behind..any harder u will slit their throats..) against their throat..man how cool is tt? hahaha

oh..another thing tt really great abt mgs is the cutscences... and.. the reason y the motion of the cutscenes are so realistic is cuz they based off actual motion from ppl... check out this vid from youtube... check out the guy in the last 1 min..and u tot when ocelot spins his revolvers its jus all computer...



hahah..later gg to the 1st training in the holidays..wonder how many ppl will turn up..hopefully got more! hahaha

finally a holiday post huh.....

hahha..finally im back to update....quite a few things happend..and i gamed like crazy oso..u know esstentially slack la..hahah

anw last sat i went to the beach..... ok for beach games trial..hahaha... weather was hot, sand was hotter but well.. the whole trial games thing went well..gd to say.. though some games werent tried out but i got faith in the 2mps la huh..hahaha..i think kinda slacker cp jus stand there ensure everything is ok and supervise can alr...lololol....

think highlight of the beach games(ok la..at least the most fun laughing at others..yea yea...sadist or 幸灾乐祸 or whatever..haha) was the spongebob game... 1st must throw a dice with all sorts of body parts on it.. and the girl and guy have to put the body parts tog la, with a sponge in btw and run to the beach, get it wet, and run back(with the sponge in btw the same body parts earlier) and fill a water bottle with water... of cuz most water wins.hahah

(pics abit LQ ah..koped directly from facebook one..haha)

there..the dice tt determine's the freshies(soon la) fate..for now its for the gls and programmers

this one is girls ear to guys butt... apparently he mistook hip(there is no hip on the dice..only butt) for butt...

we do have the occational gay couple who refuses to pair up with girls...

this guy sure is enjoying himself.... (mayb the girl too) cuz they got it wrong! haha..its the guy's chest to girls's ear... man.... well as long as they are happy....=P

yh looks like he wants it mouth to mouth with angie

Insinyur-- where couples happen.... (hey cool slogan man...hahahah)

and..wed night was kr's bday..celebrate at timbre eating tons of pizza... wa lao..we sabo-ed him to sing tog with timbre's live band...but he dun want!!! and he jus went up the stage(yea the band oso sabo him tog with us..haha) and jus MOUTHED the lyrics...omg.... come on la... 22 alr still so shy..alamak..show off singing power oso dun want.hahahaha....

and thurs night...went to jb with some of my tkd friends..hahaha.. fun! watched sniper

and its nt bad la! ahhahaa.. the title sounds v cliche army type movies..but this one does depict what actual ops and how sniper really works(nt jus a solo guy running ard shooting ppl to his hearts content..) though..of cuz like movies..they snipe with cool sunglasses and latest trend civi clothes(yea...movies..u know..haha). but they way they work and do stuff is excatly like special ops, except for the v last scene which looks more like counterstrike real life..but their face pant IS for indoor ops..the splitter face paint..hahah

and of cuz after tt ate supper...food was jus soso but well..the company is gd..hahaha(will upload pics once they are out!!)

and now for fyp woes.... wa lao.. ppl really kiasu man..all kope prof alr...and my gpa cmi one..so abit harder for me la..hahaha... well..i emailed 3 profs alr..one of them most prob reject due to my chui cgpa.. see the other 2 how la huh.. hahahah

cant wait for training again...tues and fri night sure are boring without them..haha

exams are over!! freedom!!

EXAMS ARE OVER!!!!! RAWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cant stop screaming for joy!!!! FREEDOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! RAWRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! after days of buring midnight oils, forcing myself to slp by watching online lects, and yea..forcing myself nt to slack..i can slack without guilt!! =)

so far..been dotaing and listening to the new sf4 osts i dled.. for an old sf fan like me..the remixes are like... brings back the memories of the glory days of sf2 and sftnc(when i sit down in arcade and pwn coms and humans alike) guile's, cammy's theme rox big time, ken's one is nt bad too.. abel's theme is surprisingly gd too.. sakura's catchy..ryu's the same old one but slightly cooler this time round..haha

cant wait for the pc version of sf4 to come out..right now im only chionging arcade versions and getting pwned by way stronger human players.. lack of practise ok! (guile always ftw man! who needs special moves when 2 is enough to pwn most characters...)

will be back with more updates soon..this weekend will be a busy one..gg to sentosa for insinyur beach game trial..hahaha

and there's jus 1 left!!

muahahaha..im back...and so far i think i has survived the 1st 4 papers..and only 1 left..which is on next tues..hahahah..ok..recapping(and ranting) on the papers ive done..

1st up..the morale breaker aka EE3003- INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS
Basically as expected the paper really sucked...1st qn was easy..surprisingly..but way too easy to warrant the marks..i jus feel smth fishy is gg on esp the 1st qn..usually past yr paper tt kinda qn is worth like..7-10 marks..now its 15marks..jus dun believe our prof will be that kind... well moving on, i had no idea what the $#*@ 2a is talking abt..3 lines and 10marks...with virtually almost no direct info(its all hidden in btw the lines so the engrish teachers love to say..) so 2a was left blank, qn4..i forgot the eqn which was needed to solve the qn..enuff said..

2nd paper EE3001-- ENGINEERING ELECTROMAGNETICS
Paper was doable...very very very doable...though i made plenty of careless mistakes and overlooks...too many to count..argh!!! totally wasted man..shld have at least mayb reread the qn b4 doing 75% and realising its wrong with no time to turn back..T.T

3rd paper EE3012-- COMMUNICATIONS PRINCIPLE
%^!^$%^$!&^*!*!)()!( qn 1!!!!! its a QAM qn...well i roughly know how to handle..but this qn chu pattern..potientily modulating 4 diff signals when i only tot its 2....i dunno what i wrote or did..all i know is im wrong la..hahaha..besides tt..the rest of the paper...hmmm..okok la...but i made some careless again..i mean..i tried working the working out at home with notes and ample time..then i realise like...wa shit...so many mistakes...hahaha...jialat....

4th paper EE3002-- MICROPROCESSORS
paper was ok la....average..but abit tricky...man... 2 devices used instead of the usual 4 threw some ppl off and well..they wrote 4 cuz they nv used 2 b4(lucky i didnt fall for tt trick)...i forgot the negate function for assembly language..crap..-10 marks.... and qn4b the descriptive qn...i have no idea how to describe/draw a diagram for it..damn....i hope my smoke screen is jus strong enough...15marks man...


well i got 1 paper left...com communcations..supposedly its easy..but i still shldnt underestimate it..hahah..but..u know...i havent studied for it yet..lol

and and...one more thing...... tt made me happy today...haha.... i passed the grading!! =D

ah yea...1 last thing..ms pro went castless today..hahah..gd for her..=P

EXAMS!! 1 day away!!!

the once a week blogger is back!! for a while..hahaha..after taking a 1hr break earlier i decided to extend it by another 10mins..blame intertia..hahaha..

anw..yea..exams are jus 1 day away!! gasp! and im taking them in decreasing lvl of difficulty... well.. in a way tts gd..but.. 1st paper will immediately kill my morale.. haha.. so...well i might jus rant online if the exam didnt go the way i want it..hahaha

oh yea...im taking exam on almost the same days as june..hahaha..so qiao lor... almost la..jus 1 day diff..but start same day end same day.. and same days for 2 other papers..haha... if only im tt zhun in buying toto..then no need work liao..wahahhahaha..

looking forward to after exams... getting rdy to get pwned by 3003(INTEGRATED ELECTONICS)... come on differential amps, bootstrap, NM, transfer functions and whatever my puny RAM can rmb, bring it on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 haha

and to all those taking exams during these darkest mths esp to all my friends... 加油！

exams exams exams!!

i won gold at the cks cup!!!!!!!!


yea right...happy belated april fools! hahaha..

no i really didnt win gold..i got 4th instead..but then again..even though i lost my bouts..ive really learnt smth in terms of sparring and know which direction i wanna go.. thanks to my 2nd coach captain CX for really pointing me to the right direction(in terms of sparring), telling me what i can do, what i shld improve on and those motivating words..hahaha

anw..exams are like how many? 10 (insert explesive here if needed) days away!!! *gasp*! argh!!!!! ok la..im starting my 1st one today..but this one nt academic.. this one tkd..hahaha... im gg for grading on a sat(tkd practisioners shld know what this means...) and yea..hopefully it will be my last grading for a while to come.. actually..im more scared of basic kick and the sparring leh.. hopefully they give me friendly opponents to spar with..ive heard stories tt ppl do get ko-ed during grading.. >_<


well..academic exams wise..i kinda feel totally unprepared..ok la..im oso to blame cuz i nv regluarly study but then ah..oso too many stuff to study at one go..and the 1st paper is the most killer of all subjects this sem- INTEGRATED ELECTRONICS!! best way to lift our morale up for the rest of the papers lor... looking forward to the end of exam(28th april) then after tt more stuff to do, like PAs, insinyur and well..slacking..hahaha

ms pro is doing fine.her cast has shrank... to something..more cute..which looks like a shoe..but she has to crutch to exam halls..which kinda sux la i guesss...


for those blog readers who has to mug for exams, happy mugging and jiayou!! ah..here's a cute vid for those who mug until siao liao until feel like er..sta-- ok i mean hurting ur prof and wanan destress..haha .. yea..its the same guy who's dancing(sitting and standing)! haha..he has some cool moves esp at the last 1 min!
