Hong Kong Disneyland!

by Leion on Jul.22, 2005, under General

WOW
Old man here has not been to any disney land before!

There has been so much news to this fun place even before the place is open to the public! For all I know, the entrance ticket cost like SGD$60 or SGD$80 for a day’s worth of fun and they only limit 30k visitors a day. This will mean those people already in will get to play more! cool!

Already there are tour packages for this disneyland! oh man! I hope to sign up for one this coming December. haha even before the school starts I am already thinking of my next holiday! Hope to go with someone. I dun like to travel alone. Anyone willing to come with me? Drop me a line!

cgi irc

by Leion on Jul.21, 2005, under Technology, Web

Yes I installed a cgi based irc program on this server.

See here
I have used the chat client on some other servers and find it quite user friendly. Though a bit slower, it runs comfortably.

Hence I downloaded and placed it in this server.
Then I found a problem.

I will get disconnected with a " (Quit (CGI:IRC (EOF)))" Error even when I am not doing anything. I am very disappointed – for, the program runs much faster on this server! I looked up the official site's error list and found that the program could be my server's admin could have killed the cgi process when they detected it. This is because this cgi program will take up more memory and cpu cycles….. Well my account has not ssh access so I think this must be the case….

But then I am still happy that I managed to get the thing run for about seven minutes )

NIE swimming pool

by Leion on Jul.20, 2005, under NTU

The swimming pool is located very near to the NIE canteen. It is in beside the PE block, right beside the oversized hockey court. The hockey court seems to have the area of at least 3 tennis courts.

Here is a picture of the swimming pool.

The pool has 6 lanes. Each lane is just enough for a swimmer to swim in. Should there be 2 swimmers in a lane, they might touch each other if they were to do breast stroke. It should be fine if they are doing front crawl. This pool is small. The length seemed to me just slightly longer than the breadth of a regular swimming pool. I estimate the length of this pool to be about 25 meters.

The opening hours of the pool:

I am not sure if this is permanent but hope not.

One end of the pool is about 0.9meters while the other end is about 2meters.
The water is cool and nice and do not taste salty ). However, there is not lifeguard around so any swimming is at your own risk.

I swam 60 lengths of this pool which is about 1.5km. Eventhough the sun is not shiny brightly, I realise I have panda eyes – fair skin at my eye area and dark skin at my face area. ( It has got to be my goggles. Fel, who swam with me, has no such problem. I regret buying the black goggles a month ago. She had a more tranparent goggles. Maybe that is the reason of my panda eyes.

We made a trip to canteen A too. There is false ceiling. There are more lights and the place looks better now after renovation.

Sin City

by Leion on Jul.19, 2005, under Movies

The movie gives me a Max Payne feel.

The movie is 99% black and white, with the occasional highlight of red and yellow of some special character of the movie. The style of the movie is like max Payne. There will always be the main character of the story narrating his feeling and jokes while he is interacting with the other characters or things. Everything about the movie has a very comical feel. Lots of blood. Yes lots of it. Though black and white, the blood seem like thick paint to me. Characters can get blown off by a grenade and comes back unharmed.

Superman stunts too – a man jump off a window ledge and lands properly, of course unharmed too. Samurai knifes cut flesh and bones with no effort and a blocked gun nozzle back fired when fired but the obstacle did not fly out…

Apart from the few screens of bare breasts, the R21 should be awarded to this movie for the gore and violence. Lots of them. I shall not go into the detail story but at the beginning, we see a ear, a hand and a dick being blasted off by a gun. A story about a policeman who goes all out to save a 11 year old girl from being raped by the senator’s son. Yes the body parts are from the senator’s son. This policeman gets shot by his partner……

The second story is about a huge ugly guy who is just like the hulk! He is just as incredible! He never says die. Anyway he had his nicest night with a hooker, Goldie, who get murdered next to him when they were asleep. He vows to find the murderer and the person who tried to frame him. The murderer is a guy who look like Harry Potter. He moves fast and without noise and has long finger nails….. Sound like another comic character…. He eats flesh of hookers he killed and feed the bones to his dog. And he hangs the heads on the walls like a hunter trophy. Anyway, THE MAN still manages to finish him in a very yucky way. He chopped off his limps and let the dog eats his flesh while the Harry Potter guy is still alive and looking. Finally he cut off his head, this Harry Potter never makes a single noise. THE MAN brings the Harry Potter head to the master mind of this whole story, a a very powerful church father who revealed that he shares the flesh of Harry Potter’s hunt. Yup. THE MAN killed the father with his bare hands, with blood all over him. This story ended with THE MAN being put on a electric chair and he needed 2 tries to stop breathing. There is a nice joke in here if you watch the movie. )

Third story is about hookers again. A superman saved a district of hookers after they accidentally killed a police. There is a asian looking Miho carries 2 samurai swords and shoots arrows and darts. The story involves the dead police man’s head. Some gangster mob wants to hand it over to the police to take over the district. The fight invovles the superman and Miho doing a lot of fanciful stunts. Of course, the hero saves the day and the mob destroyed.

Now the story goes back to the policeman in the first story. He is healed and framed by the senator to take revenge for being responsible for the state of his son. He is trapped in jail for 8 years. The 11 year old girl is very grateful to him and writes to him every week with a fake name. The son returns with a new dick, ear and hand. However, he is reduced to a dirty yellow stinky skinned weirdo. He is back for his unfinished business of raping the girl and getting his revenge. He tricked the policeman into thinking that something happened to the girl. The policeman then admitted to his “crime” to get out of jail…… He lead the dirty old man to the girl. Needless to say, he got the girl and was about to rape her when the hero come and removed his dick once more. Then he smashed his head into pieces. The girl is so in love for her saviour of 2 times. He sends her away thinking that he is going to take on the senator next. However, the senator is too powerful. So he decided to end his life.

“An old man’s life for a young girl’s. A fair deal.”
What a die hard policeman.

The show ended with a scene in a lift which I don’t get what is about…

Overall, I think this movie is good. Nice gore and jokes all over. I hope there is a sequel and am looking forward to it.

Do you think your blog is a secret?

by Leion on Jul.18, 2005, under Technology, Web

I know that many blogs has RSS feeds. I was not sure about what it can do until today. They provide visitors a peep at your site's contents even b4 clicking on your website! Don't believe me? Try clicking at the orange icon at the status bar of your firefox now. Then add my blog into your live bookmarks. Look at it rite away. You will see links and titles to my blog entries. Its only the titles you might think. But there is actually more that is been downloaded but then it is not shown in here. Some blogs provide a ping service. They will send your RSS feeds to some directories once you have any changes to your blogs. I think this is cool. It updates your directories the moment you have new additions to your site. Of course this is a double edged sword. Should you want to keep your blog a secret, then all these features are going to ruin your little secret. You may think that its your secret blog but then, actually, someone else may be able to search for your blog in real time! Check your blog account to make sure you have disabled all feeds and any directory or site notification of your blog's status. It happened to me. I found my abandoned secret blog on the net. I still wish to keep it a secret hence I have already deleted from the orginal url. icon_biggrin I hope it will remain a secret Hope yours too. icon_wink
