Rare Mac Trojan exploits Apple

2008-06-24T01:02:00.001+08:00

A rare Mac OS X Trojan has been spotted on the internet. The AppleScript-THT Trojan horse exploits a vulnerability within the Apple Remote Desktop Agent to load itself with root privileges onto compromised Mac machines.

The malware, which is capable of infecting Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 boxes, surrenders control of compromised systems to hackers.

Keystroke logging on compromised systems, taking pictures (using the built-in Apple iSight camera) or capturing screenshots are among the hacker exploits enabled by the malware, Mac security outfit SecureMac reports. The malware weaves its malicious spell while attempting to remain undetected by opening ports in the firewall and turning off system logging.

SecureMac, which specialises in making anti-spyware software for Mac PCs, reports that miscreants have published multiple variants of the Trojan on a hacker-controlled website. Hackers on the site are discussing the possible distribution of the Trojan through the iChat instant messaging client and Limewire file sharing software.

The Trojan comes packaged either as a compiled AppleScript, called ASthtv05, or as an application bundle, weighing in at around 3.1 MB. Despite the use by the Trojan of a recently-discovered Apple Mac vulnerability, users need to download and open the Trojan horse before they become infected. ®

Samsung new phone!!

2008-06-24T00:59:00.000+08:00

If nothing else, Samsung's Instinct shows just how disruptive an influence the iPhone has become in cell phone design. From its spare black packaging (everyone is copying Apple in this regard) to its slim, glass-encased industrial design and fingertip-friendly interface, the Instinct pays homage to Apple's iconic creation while one-upping it in several respects.

If the next-generation iPhone weren't about to address some of the very same weaknesses the Instinct seeks to exploit, Sprint and Samsung's creation would look a lot more appealing. But while the Instinct is a solid effort in its own right (and one worth considering if AT&T's service and rates don't sit right with you), it still has a Brand X feeling to it. My review unit, though generally feature-rich and very capable, also had a few noteworthy glitches.

Let's start with the strengths. The device felt good in my hand. It's narrower and somewhat thicker than the current iPhone, but close enough to the general profile for that not to matter.

Things start off promisingly when you power the Instinct on and unlock the screen by pressing firmly on a hardware button on the top edge (somewhat similar to the way the iPhone gets going, although without the finger swipe). You see a nice-looking starlit sky on the 3.1-inch display, with the current time at the bottom.

But then the device switches to a rather lackluster Favorites screen--basically an empty grayscale screen that invites you to populate it with your most frequently used applications. Though this screen seems intended to show off customization capabilities that the iPhone lacks, it isn't particularly attractive; Samsung would have done better to have the unit default to the Main screen, which is filled with iPhone-like icons for sending messages and e-mail, as well as for GPS navigation.

Overall, Samsung did a pretty good job on the touch screen. It's a resistive touch screen, so if you prefer you can use the little enclosed stylus instead of your fingertip. (But then you'll have to worry about where to store the thing--the device has no place for you to slide it. All you have for it is a slit in the rather cheesy plastic case that's included.)

I had no difficulty getting along with only my index finger, however. I was happy to find a setting to optimize the touch screen for southpaws, along with adjustments for calibration and touch sensitivity. I also liked the unit's haptic feedback, small vibrations in response to touches (something the original iPhone didn't offer). And wherever scrolling was possible, the unit was responsive.

Navigation is reasonably intuitive. Startup illuminates three touch-sensitive icons embedded in the hardware underneath the display. The Home icon at the center always brings you to applications. If you want to make a phone call, you press the Phone icon to the right, which brings up the speed-dial menu. The third of the hardware icons, a left-pointing arrow on the left side, lets you step back to the previously active screen.

Within the two principal modes, four small squares at the bottom of the display afford access to all other options. For example, if you're in phone mode, the leftmost square always returns you to the speed-dial screen; additional squares bring up your contacts, your call history, and a software dialpad. On the applications side, tapping the squares (from left to right) brings you to the aforementioned Favorites and Main screens, a Fun screen with multimedia functions such as music and video players and the camera, and the Web browser.

The Instinct also comes with first-rate voice-command features. Simply press the voice-input ('Speech to Action') button on the right side, and you can initiate calls or text messages to contacts in your address book, or launch key applications. Training is not required, but the device does afford a brief training session for users who believe that the device isn't understanding them.

As a phone, the Instinct works well. I particularly liked the large dialpad, with its big green Call button. Voices sounded good to me, and call recipients said I sounded good too. The contacts display is large and readable; tapping a contact number to initiate a call is easy.

But the battery life isn't great--it came in at about 5.5 hours in our tests, making the Instinct one of the poorer performers in this respect (though not as bad as Sprint's Palm Centro). In contrast, the iPhone ran the full 10 hours of our test. (In fairness, Sprint claims only 5.75 hours of talk time in its Instinct literature.)

CLASS OUTING (DINNER)

2007-03-31T17:47:00.000+08:00

WHOOOPEEEEEEEEE. Guess what? (:

ITS CLASS OUTING TIME! Okay, I shall admit I forgoten about it until Mally left me the testimonial. hurhur.

Make yourselves free okay? I'm trying to keep this outing less <$20.

~~Date: 14th April, Saturday. (FIXED)~~
~~Time: Evening till night.~~

~~Location's yet to be confirmed, cause I am not sure if some places are Halal/have Vegeterian food or not. But I came out with these tentative locations :~~

Thai Express - Esplanade
Fish & Co - Suntec
Cafe Cartel - Plaza Singapura
Sakae Sushi - Cineleisure
NYDC/Big O - Wheelock Place
Village (The new Marche) - Heeren
New York New York - CityLink Mall

Vegeterian Indian food near bugis.

Reason: I bet none of us tried it before. As unappealing as it sounds, I'm pretty sure the new experience would make up for it.

Furthermore, ALL of us, herbivore(jeremy), carnivore(chimchai and wanling) or omnivore (the rest of us), can consume! :D

Please let me know via MSN, SMS or E-mail (ng.jamiee@gmail.com) ASAP because I might need to make reservations.

Teen, 17, first to be charged with unauthorised wireless Net access

Teen, 17, first to be charged with unauthorised wireless Net access

By Chua Hian Hou

A 17-YEAR-OLD polytechnic student has become the first person here to be charged with piggybacking on someone else's wireless Internet connection.

Garyl Tan Jia Luo was accused yesterday of using a laptop computer to gain unauthorised access to a home wireless network on May 13 this year.

If convicted, Tan faces up to three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000 under Section 6(1)(a) of the Computer Misuse Act.

Tan was released on $6,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at the Subordinate Courts on Wednesday.

Court documents did not describe the circumstances in which Tan was arrested, but The Straits Times understands that a neighbour near his Casuarina Walk home had lodged a complaint against him.

While there are no statistics on how commonplace the practice of piggybacking unsecured home wireless networks is, networking firm Cisco System's spokesman, Mr Rayson Cheo, said it is probably quite widespread here.

Most modern notebook computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) have the ability to sniff out unsecured networks and hop online for free with just a few clicks.

There are numerous guides online that describe how to do this and the low cost of wireless networking equipment means that most HDB or condominium blocks have unprotected networks users can log on to.

Said Mr Cheo: 'People assume, wrongly, that since it is there, it is okay to use it.'

Mr Aloysius Cheang, the chairman of local infocomm security association, the Special Interest Group in Security and Information Integrity, said: 'Most people probably do it because it is convenient, or because they are cheap and want free Internet.

'But, for some, it is because they want to do something illegal like defaming someone or downloading pirated MP3s, and they don't want the activities traced back to their own network.'

In the online world, there are even special terms for it, like 'wardriving' and 'Wi-Fi mooching'.

The problem, said lawyer Bryan Tan, is that while most people know that mooching is not quite legitimate, they probably do not know that it can be treated as a serious offence.

'Blinkered by the convenience and allure of ?free Internet', people don't realise that mooching is the virtual equivalent of trespassing,' he added.

Likewise, many users do not seem to realise that they can block moochers simply by installing a password on their Internet connections.

For most users, the only indication they get that someone is mooching is when their connection speed slows down, though Mr Cheo said software tools are available for download that can track who is using a network and what they are doing on it.

While the case is the first of its kind here, there have been at least two similar arrests and convictions in the United States.

In some countries like Holland, Mr Tan added, Wi-Fi network owners can even be held liable by the courts for crimes committed on their unprotected networks.

Upcoming Events - October ?

2006-09-26T02:37:00.000+08:00

Hi all, I have thought of a few ideas for upcoming October for our class gathering.

Ice Skating Session - Jurong Enteraintment Centre
Karaoke Session - PW or KBox or Kster
Movie Session @ Vivocity GV HarbourFront

Of course, be it you know ice skating anot doesnt really matters in this case, cause I myself only tried once.. so you will see me fall on the ice alot on that very day which is a rare sight! I seriously warn you not to snap any of my disgusted pictures & post it up!!! you have been freaking wwarrrned.

Karaoke session hmmz not really gona be a all around for all people I guess, cause we have different races in our group, not sure how it gona be on a racial karaoke session? sounds fresh LoLx.

Movies? hmmx simple & sweet? depends on which movie? not all of us watch horror movies especially some girls... you know whom I am refering loLx.

So this are some of the ideas that I have come up with, do post some comments up so I know where the majority stands...

Regards,
Daniel

picnic @ ECP

company and a well-planned outing makes all the difference in the world. i picnic-ed twice in three days, and saw/felt a huge difference.

tuesday's picnic was all about looking after the baby and shooting water (from watergun) into her face. today's was bonding, getting emotional, celebrating a birthday and binging.

i realised my entries now aint as descriptive as before, but i think the fact that there are pictures to relive some memories should be pretty consoling. :D

Debrief for ECP Event @ 21 Sept 2006

2006-09-22T00:04:00.000+08:00

Hello fellow friends,
I would like to do some debrief for the following event. Okay this event is kinda of a last minute event but neverthless we managed to have much fun right guys/ladies?

We started off with purchasing of our groceries at Giant supermart @ Bedok. Rui & Cheryl was pushing one cart, me , Ziyu & Elaine was pushing another. You may be wondering where's our IC (Reuben) ... erm he overslept I think was late!!! lol... nevermind he help us to carry the heavy stuff after our shopping. We took Bus 31 and arrive at Parkway and settle down at nearby Macdonalds for a quick meal as some of us haven't really ate anything. Finished our lunch, we proceed to ECP. We managed to find a hut for ourselves, Rui & myself quickly proceed to our sun-tanning session, whereas Reuben , Cheryl , Ziyu , Elaine was at the hut gossiping ... content of gossip *unknown*. Daryl & his gf (Jie Ling) arrived, we have a short game on Volleyball and also a long session of frisbie. Its was a great game, you all should see how Rui came up with his stunts of catching the frisbie and how Cheryl become a monkey during a session of dodgeball.Allen (Ziyu's God Brother) came down too to our small gathering here. After an hour, we start with some finger food which is Roti... with cheese, hotdogs..., nutella... and comes Jamie with the surprise. We actually thought of helping Rui to celebrates his birthday hahahx hope he didnt get too surprised. Sang him his birthday song, make him look like Singapore Extinict Animal. We had the cake, Elaine & her bf (Chim Wee) then go for their dinner, leaving us going for cycling & roller-blading.
Jamie & Jeremy did a great job helping looking after our things hehe. Rui, Reuben,Daryl,JieLing,Allen,myself rented bikes, Cheryl & Ziyu rented blades. We cycle from one end to the other then when we reaching halfway, cheryl met up with a accident during she was trying to hold on to Rui's bike. Yeah she hurt her knee cap.. Bleed flows.. was trying to clot her blood and Reuben and me went to get some plasters & mineral water for her. Ended up Ziyu they all managed to bandage her wound up. After that was a last round of cycling to the other side of ECP (near changi). On our way , we saw Elaine & Wee eating seafood!! You all should see what they are eating... soooo yum yum. Can see cannot eat loLx.There's was a huge crab, butter prawns, fried man tou,fried sotongs , ... that's all I can remember haha.Jeremy went home.
Night crawls into the beach, interesting events took place. Rui & Cheryl was having some secret conversations. There's some photos to be shown to u all later. Guess this is something amazed to all of us. LoLx. Then we went to Parkway Hawker centre to have our dinner. Dinner was alright, had a great meal. Then we proceed to having a game of pool & also some really old arcade games. I hope you all have enjoyed this outing as much as I do. If you feel like having more outings for our class do let anyone know, we can work something out yeah.

Thanks for a wonderful day. I know I am burned, but its ain't enough.

Regards,
Daniel

Data Structure - Finish lab on time if not he will give zero. Because he very bitchy. Other than that you can copy you're friends lab and make it yours. ( i don't know it's the same he as us. lol ) Lecture don't go also can, just tap card.

Web portal - Kau's lab okay but lecture sleep better. She marks attendance during lecture.

Web portal design - Fireworks and dreamweaver lesson, like digital media design.

Internet programming - Try to start you're project early as soon as possible because it's hard. You will get mistakes out of no where and die during presentation. Lecture must attend because the lecturer marks attendance at the end of the lesson. If you come late, the lecturer will nag.

Marketing - Prepare to write alot of notes because lecture notes not enough for test.

Operating system - Lecture ask friend to sign also can. Dr Tie wont make noise. Prepare to write alot of definition in the tutorials. Can play with lunix as well.

Electronics - She got PMS. She not happy she will just scold you.

Data structure - Bitchy because if you talk abit he will shoo you off of the lecture room. You pass up lab 1 week late he will give you 0. His marks is either 3 or 0, no inbetween.

ECP Outing @ 21 Sept 2006

2006-09-18T22:45:00.000+08:00

To: MIT0510-E1

Proposal For ECP Outing.

To avoid some confusion, I would like to make it clear that this ECP outing would be a picnic/ chill-out session/ tanning-session. Some suggested staying overnight at ECP, night cycling, but it is not confirmed yet because we need the opinion of the majority.

Here is a proposal for things to be bought/brought for the event. Groceries will be bought after meetup at Bedok MRT station, in case of bad weather. Wet weather plan would be decided on the day itself. I have checked the weather forecast, and most likely there will be a thunderstorm on the day itself.

Food/Beverages:

- Sandwich

- Pasta

- Nuggets

- Fishballs

- Hotdogs

- Curry Puff

- Drinks

Miscellaneous:

- Mat

- Fork/Spoon

- Paper plates

- Beach Ball

- Poker

- Radio

- Tanning Stuff

- Serviettes

- Friskbee

- Tent (Overnight stay)

- Fishing Rod (Rui's idea)

Things for everyone to bring:

- About $30 (Bicycle/Skates Rental + Picnic + Dinner)

- Extra set of clothes (Swim/ Tan)

- Clothes that are suitable for wet weather plan

Once again, for shopping of groceries, it will be done before the event itself . Money will be splited evenly after groceries shopping. Each one of us will pay approximately 5-7 dollars.

As for the fried stuff, Malihha (Or are there any other volunteers?) will be frying it whether bad weather or not. In any case if we are unlucky and meet the thunderstorm, we will still split the amout to be paid evenly. If this is the scenario, we would have to find another location to eat and plan for the wet weather schedule.

Currently, we have 10 people coming for the event. They are namely, Ziyu, Mally, Cheryl, Ling, Rui, Dan, Jeremy, Reuben, Elaine and yours truly. I hope more people will be able to join us in this foreseenly interesting event.

Sincerely,

Jamie.

-18th September, 2006. 2.45pm-

2006-09-17T23:24:00.000+08:00

Hello to all of you loves!

Mallihah and I have discussed about the class outing, and came out with the following:

Date: 21st September 2006
Venue: East Coast Park
Time : 12.30pm - 7pm
To meet at: Bedok MRT control station 12.30pm.
If majority wants: Dinner outside together after the event.

I apologise for the short-term notice, but the Malays in our class (Faizah, Shari and Mallihah) will start fasting on the 24th of September, and will not be able to indulge in this event.

For a higher success rate of this event, I would like each person to contribute a small amount of 5 to 7 dollars, depending on the amount of people going. Also, an easy task will be assigned to you, i.e. buying of groceries after the confirmation of the event.

I hope everybody will be able to attend this event, especially those who missed the chalet. Interested parties, please email me at ng.jamiee@gmail.com or drop me a text at 96899484 before 19th September, 12.00pm.

However, if there is less than 1 person going, the event will be called off.

Till then, I will e-mail you about the update of event and assignment of tasks at the shortest time.

Yours Sincerely,
Jamie.

P.S. For queries, do not hestitate to call or SMS me at 96899484 (I have 1000 free sms, and free incoming calls).

at 9:03pm]

Back from 3 days 2 night chalet! My muscle ache are healing thank god. ((: The words, absolutely fun is seriously an understatement. Ask any mit0510 who went for the chalet, they sure hit you back with a, "It was great!". ((:

I fallen in love with the breath taking view of the beach from the balcony. So beautiful(:

&& thanks mit0510, for the wonderful chalet. Well, here is a little shout out for everyone!

Daniel: Being the oldest one there, you never fail to look after each and everyone of us. You can be quite scary when angry. Especially when we didn't heed your advice to stop "BBQ-ing" the marshmallows with the candles. Well, Mr Daniel here said it is poisonous to do that. And he was being the naggy one but we all know, he was concern! Oh, and your chicken wings is finger licking good! ((: Bet, everyone love it so much!

Ziyu: Thank you for booking a nice & big chalet for all of us! And for paying everything first. Though I am not that close to you in school, I can see that you are such a wonderful friend to be around with! ((:

Annette: Take picture of you damn hard le. LOL((: Woowee, but I had fun going shopping for stuffs with you, girl!

Daryl & Ray: Thank you, Daryl for fetching us up when we got a lot of shopping bags to carry. You are one of the friends in need. And enduring me like quarter of the time cycling together. Thank you to both of you for teaching me on the second day. ((:

Ismath & Jeremy: You two ah, went back home even before I manage to reach on the second day! But definitely, was great to have you two around! ((:

Jamie, Wan Ling & Chim Chai: Thank you for helping BBQ-ing and making everything a different with your presence! ((:

Faizah && Cheryl: And nothing else rock as much as you girls! *HUGS* I had fun with both of you even though I wasn't around most of the time. But I hope you girls love every single bit of our chalet!((:

I am a sucker for choosing random pictures to be upload. Hence, the LJ cut below is image heavy! Have fun!

MIT 0510- E1 CHANGI CHALET

DAY 1, September 12, 2006 Tuesday

MY Wonderful class went together to Changi chalet. There consists of 12 people (ITHINK). on the first day, we had activities going on In Living room.. Lolx.. Watching TV and listening to Radio and playing cards in the afternoon.
We taught FAizah to play cards. Lolx.. Kinda taught her to come to the DARK side.. HAHA..

After that we prepared food for the barbecue at night. This is a feast. We had HOTDOGS, STINGRAY, SWEET POTATOES, CHICKEN WINGS (GREAT. THANKS TO DANIEL), MAGGIE MEE(on the house),Crab sticks.. etc.. alot more.

Everyone was enjoying the food. Our chef for the day, DAniel, Jamie, wan ling, faizah, maliha... The rest was watching TV. XD (inlcluding myself.)
Too bad Jeremy cannot eat.. or else we can be the TRIO FOOD STEALER from the barbecue pits and table..Lolx..

We played with the Sparks and tried to make rockets. Chim Chai, me and Daryl each had our own rockets but it was a futile attempt to make it shoot into the air. Lolx.. Mine was the most improved rocket from both of theirs, Mine was the lightest and had the most [Fuel][Sparks].

REuben was late because he has something on and came on the next day.

After the barbecue, WE went to "OCH"[Old Changi Hospital]. Talking about it really sends a shiver down my trembling spine. We took the way to the front gate. The walk to the gate was spine breaking. The air was chill and contians some mositure in it,making one's glassess blurred in a split second. We took about 10 mins to walk up there but never went in due to some reasons of the group. BUt just by standing in front of the gate, we can feel and imagine the terrifying things loitering in there.

AFter we came back,a group of friends including me went to play "HEART ATTACK".We were so high playing that game and ending up laughing hard. I was kinda slow in that game and my reflexes was not fast enough to evade the "HEARTATTACKS". The most
funniest part is that Cheryl, the one who is launching the "HEARTATTACk", hit herself with her own hands. XD...

We bought alcohol, cant remember what is that name but the alcohol percentage was like 33% (If i'm not wrong). ITs kinda sweet and little bitter.
LOSER gets to drink the cocktail of alcohol With COke added. (Tasted great actually)

We played 2games.

1st game, card guessing.
RULES:
I) THe card distributor gets to say he/she wants any 1 value of the card
II) After which, we are suppose to put the card on our heads
III) Then each player take turns to say whether he/she wants to change the card. (each player can only change once)
IV) LOSER gets to drink the cocktail.

2nd game, BLUFF
RULES:

I) Each player are distributed (52 cards divide by [No. of players]) cards.
II)They can start with any cards but they can bluff
III)For example, [Player 1] puts down [SPADE OF ACE] but shouted [spade 2], Other players can shout bluff if they think he/she is bluffing. Loser receives all the cards placed on the ground and have the Drink.
IV) They can only shout out cards with value [higer,lower,same] of the current card placed on the ground

I played and lost on the second game. After some drinks, I went high and kept drinking. In the end, I Was drunk and sober up after a while.

We stayed up and watch TV after that. It was like 3am in the morning. Everyone was chatting away. WE didn't know that we can actually chat so much. It was a chance whereby I have a better understanding of my friends.

DAY 2, September 13, 2006 Wednesday

I woke up at 7.30 shivering in the cold air-con. Today is the day whereby i dread and love the most.After we ate, I went to rent a bicycle for MALIHA. She did not know how to ride one. She only had an hour to learn since i only rented for one hour only. I Must say she tried her very very very best and had all her attention focused. But still, she did not manage to learn.

She fell from the bicycle and accidentally cut her skin whereby the blood flowed profusely. But still she still continue to learn. She's really brave.

After which, I went to return the bike and waited for the rest to meet at the Changi Ferry Terminal.

The ONE-WAY boat ride was $2 . On our way there, I nearly vomitted. The boat was bumping from side to side. But luckily i made it there with a clean body. We took some pictures at the ferry point before going to rent a bike. IT was ($5) to rent a bike there.

We went to alot of terrains tracks which was rather exciting. Bumps on the roads was very exciting, but then too bad, I cannot go too fast as the bike has some problems. we went all around PULAU UBIN and went near the OBS[Outward Bounds] Site but went
back due to insufficient time.

On the way to OBS site, my bike broke down on the chinese cemetery site. IT was cHilled at that area. I quicky fixed the chain to the teeth of the gears and carried on. WHew...

After that, We went to Pulau Ubin Ferry Terminal to catch the boat ride back to Changi Ferry Terminal. Surprisingly, I cannot feel anything about vomitting. Maybe I was too tired from Cycling to feel any boat bumps.

We went to the Changi Hawker center to eat out dinner. We had CHICKEN CHOP HOR FUN ( recommended by CHERYL), it was quite good. Daniel treated us to some Fried Dumplings. It crunchy and brings a nice taste as the juice flows onto the toungue taste buds. nice~ . I had this Ginger Soup plus RIce Balls. Cheryl ordered 2 more Peanuts rice balls but manage to eat one only. =P
I had 3. HAHA...

After that we went to buy a bunch of banana . I was disppointed when they say they dun have the soft pears whereby the flesh is soft and the taste sweet. After we went back to the chalet, we played the PS2 (Fatal Frame). Reu ben brought along the walk
through to speed up the game play but got slow down due to the powerful bossess along the way. Lolx...

Cheryl and I went to watch the movie that reuben brought along on his laptop while Daniel and JAmie Deep FRied the Chicken wings which tasted SUPER NICE.. Maybe it was because of the Good marination by Daniel's parents. Cheryl and I finish up the

Chicken wings and went back to watch the movies and DAryl went to get some alcohol for us. After that we went down to watch DAniel , DAryl, Reuben play Fatal Frame. Reuben Mixed some tiger beer with lots of Sprite to make out some rather nice drinks.
After that I went to drink the alcohol that daryl bought and went to bed since I am feeling rather warm and dizzy.

In the middle of the night, about 3 am, reu ben put tooth paste all over me and I was being sabotaged. AHAHa... It was rather cold when u have Colgate in ur armpits too..HHAHA.. I was cold and the room was filled with the Colgate smell.

Cheryl woke me up in the middle of the night and I fell asleep right after that. Lolx...

DAY 3, September 14, 2006 Thursday

Woke up at 9.30 in the morning. Did all neccessary Stuff and went downstairs. I cooked breakfast for everyone (maggie mee)since i do not want to bring the rest of the maggie mee home. Haha...

After that, Daniel and I went to sun tanned. We threw stones to see who has more trips on the water before falling into the water. BUt daniel's stone do not seemed to trip on the water.

After we went back, the rest and both of us went to went TV before going to eat the chicken rice( $2) per person. It was really nice. We ordered a HALF chicken and a plate of Bean Sprout. IT was($15.50). rather cheap.

After we ate, we went back to the chalet and cleaned up the whole chalet before checking out at 3.50pm.

Chim Chai, Jamie, Wan ling took the bus.

Reu ben took the cab.

Daryl drove me, Daniel, Faizah, Ziyu home.

Cheryl left around 11am in the morning to meet some friends at EAst coast which she never did due to the weather change.

Maliha never came on that day and she sent a Thanks message for all of us. Spiritually, she's always here with us. =)

Annette came on the first day and had to go to work for the rest of the day.

Jeremy went back after the second day. He had stuff to do though. I think...

//forgive me if I got the events and dates wrong.

Anyway, My class MIT 0510-E1 Rocks! . I cannot wait for the next sem chalet to come. I missed u guys already when I reach home. It is the best Chalet I ever had guys/gals. Thanks alot guys/gals... In Every ways you guys rocks my life.

Getting ready for BBQ!

On that night we went for night walk. Headed down to Changi Village, had a drink and off to Old Changi Hospital. It was a dark long stretch of road. *Spooky We didn't made it all the way there though.. Lolz.. So we headed back to the chalet for some card games. Lolz. Alcohol was involved of course~ We achieved our aim by making Rui drunk but we failed to find a "Ah Gua"~ Lolz *Rui, you won't be so lucky next time... Muahahahaaa...

Some candid shot by Jamie -.-"

A group photo at the kopi tiam.

Dinner was specially recommended by our "loud speaker", Cheryl!!! *No offence right? =X "Chicken Chop Hor Fun" Really good... lolz... Actually wanted to go to OCH again, but after playing Fatal Frame on Reuben's PS2.... on second thought.... Nah~ LOL!

mi0510 chalet

September 15th, 2006

our very first class chalet after so long. well it was at changi and the view was darn nice. really must thank ziyu for finding us such a big and pretty comfortable chalet. i got there like in the evening and most of them were preparing for the bbq stuffs and i cant really help much. so ended up taking photos and watching tv. =x

was just sitting around watching them eat and going round taking photos. after clearing the bbq stuffs most of us went to take turns to shower. settled down in the guys room and started playing cards. forfeit was drinking one cap of bacardi + coke. rui was somehow drunk in the end. he stood up, fell on the bed and he dint even respond to us. he woke up few minutes later asking why he ended up on bed. LOL. oh wells.

night walk, they insisted in going to changi village. sat at the coffee shop and had a drink. the uncle was nice enough to help us take a photo. but he was damn comical. he asked whether we came from ubin. anyways. we left for old changi hospital. just walking pass it. cheryl saw her friends and they tagged along as well. shall not comment on the trip.

well i really had fun at the chalet. even though i only went for one day. had to leave the next day for job interview. and speaking of the job interview, it really was a waste of time. went all the way there and they tell me they’re not hiring part timers at the moment. oh wells. was so tired i went back home to sleep. decided not to go in the evening because i was told they’re going night cycling and i cant cycle. =x anyway, i love the class. =D
