Band of Brothers

Went to Toa Payoh the other day to look for maggots for fishing. I ended up roaming aimlessly around the darn place looking for a non-existant pet shop that allegedly sold the darn things... FOR 3 HOURS!

It was a good thing i've been to at least the interchange b4, else i wouldn't even have known how to exit the darn place. For those who've never been there before, first impressions are that it's a beautiful place. Another thing that you'll notice is that the layout is fucked up. Or at least appears to be fucked-up. Basically, besides the interior, the surrounding area, the whole damn place, would look like one big stinking mess to a tourist, or someone who's never been there before, namely, me. At at the centre of it all, is a building that has an interior that looks and feels like a hotel.

There were some nice Indian guys who helped me with directions of a block 60+, where the supposed bird shop was. The rest of the people weren't all that helpful. Especially the taxi drivers who pretended to be not able to find the block 60 in their Street Directories.

Anyway, after that, Roy gave me a call and asked for help on how to just reinstall the Windows core files without actually doing a full re-install. Meaning that everything was the same as before except that all the windows files were replaced with those on the CD. I found out about this feature while playing with the Windows CD not too long ago. Lucky him.. haha...

I'm afraid i may have disappointed WeiLi and gang on being able to play Halo at the labs. Something really serious hampered me from doing anything. Cheers mate.

I also made this kewl but incomplete program that allows you to type in commands into a Dos Console as if you were in the Matrix. The Shutdown and Restart/Reboot feature is damn kewl... haha... Type help while in the program for a list of commands. File(Compiled in Windows XP, with MingW32)

The "Original" Lovey Doveys were quarelling as usual.
