Beer pong!

After posting so many posts, how can I miss this. BEER PONG! Many have heard before, some nv, what a shame. I did and guess what I have played this shit couple days back. If you don't know this game, please make an effort to click on this link. Any 16 yr old in US would know this game and well, I felt that this game shouldn't juz stay in the US. I would rally guys out there in the tiny island called Singapore to play this too.. (no offense meant)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_pong

After really reading throug wikipedia I realized it get really too technical. Well... there are really some techniques and special rules involved but mostly it depends on the house. HOUSE RULE they call it.

What you need:
1. BEER (lots of it)
2. 20 Cups (10 on each end)
3. Long table or bench
4. 2 ping pongs
5. 2 cups of clean water, one on each side to clean ping pong balls

How to play.

1 vs 1

each player got 2 balls. aim at the cups in opposite end and try to get the ball in the cup. 4 senarios possible:

1:
got 1 ball in a cup - take the ball out - 2nd throw (missed) - opp player drink the cup that got the ball - opponent's turn to throw

2:
got 1 ball in a cup - take the ball out - 2nd throw got into the same cup - opp player drink the cup plus another 2 cups (total 3 cups!) - You get another chance to throw the 2 balls (If you cont to do this, you can end the game really fast! )

3:
Got 1 ball in a cup - take the ball out - 2nd throw got into another cup - opp player drink 2 cups (the 2 that got the balls) - You get another chance to throw the 2 balls as well!

4:
You miss both balls (c'mon dude.. practice more) - opp's turn

5: (special)
You bounce the ball on the table on got the ball in a cup - opp drink 2 cups instead of 1 -
*However, if you actually use bounce instead of normal throw, opponent can slap the ball away, WITHOUT obstructing the way of projection of the ball. (well it get interesting n technical here)
**Other rules on top applies

Rules:
No obstruction of the ball or touching the cups while opponent is throwing.
You can distract opponent by all means w/o physical contact
You get to call for re-rack of your opponent's cups twice in the game. The cups are initially arranged in a diamond (just like billiard) to maximize chances.
Your elbow need to be behind the table edge at all times.

For 2 vs 2: One player throw one ball instead of 2. All other rules applies.


Common people. let's play this game. It gets really fun when you get the hang of it. Btw, the beer had to be drank immediately after the 2 throws, which well definitely give you a harder time to aim for the next shot.


Lastly, I shall show you this pic

Classic Beer Pong
It can get really crazy!

good news

sorry for not posting for quite some time.. i donno who is reading anw..

I got a position in an Organic Chemistry Lab, this will definitely add a good line on my resume before I finish my undergraduate studies. Interestingly, they are interested in me because they were impressed with my resume. This really shows how important a good resume is. I am glad I worked hard to get that. More so, this will be exactly the field that I want to go into as it is working on synthesis of a drug target to inhibit cancer cells. The compounds they are working on now have good potential of inhibiting breast cancer cells, leukemia, intestinal cancers, lung cancers and probably a whole lot more. It really excites me that I am going to work there soon, probably starting next week. I am not sure if I will be paid for my work though, I hope they do.


Well, I am not just here to "expand my academic horizon" only. I went down to LA with another 4 exchange students in the long weekend (Monday was Martin Luther King Day, if you don't know who he is, check American History text. Ha). Went to LA downtown, and Hollywood once more. Interestingly, there was this guy who was arrested in the center of Hollywood for deploying a bag, suspected with bomb. He was arrested and handcuffed and crowd were separated from the area. Soon after, LAPD's chopppers were circling on top of the area and probably ard 20 police cars were there. It was really tense. I have nv seen such scenario before and I think it was really an experience. The stand off took about 20 minutes and the bomb squad arrived to handle the bag. Well, fortunately (a little disappointingly for me), it was actually a hoax and everything was back to normal. But this thing really shows how effective LAPD is and they are really good at their job.

Oh yah.. I have some photos.. but really lazy to upload now.. will upload in a couple of days time.

1st day of work

yah as mentioned i got a job. working in sports complex. guess wad i juz had my 1st day of work n I painted the soccerfield. lol Frankly speaking, nv seen how it was done before so I always thought they either spray pain or hand paint it, which is not really true.. it was done using a machine which sprays the paint. well.. it's a dirty job.. but quite fun.

badminton

amazingly UCI has a badminton team, and there is actually a southern california badminton league. lol i ll probably go down for their trg regularly. hasn't played for long..

SGX-It's chance

to whoever watching the market.. i have to say this.. this is an opportunity, don't miss it

I am unlucky cuz i m stuck w my stupid F&N before the drop. but yah for those who are not vested and have cash i have a few suggestions.. no hard values as I don't rem it myself, check it out before you buy,., caveat

1. Inter-roller - BUY (~53cent) Super good deal if you can get below 50cents, which may happen at this market sentiment. hold long enough you will see a dollar again. This company has great potential due to the up and coming aviation industries. check it's NAV and past PE records you will understand..

2. Semb Corp - BUY (~5.00) GOOD BUY (<5) This is a big conglomerate.. check the record and you will know why. it has been sluggish due to the sell down.. and partly due to daughter semb marrine. but fundamentally good. could be heading to 7 after this round sell down. i was vested at 5 bucks before n sold at 6 bucks. would ask my dad to go for this.

3. Semb Marrine - BUY (~3.7) GOOD BUY (3.5) This is another good stock as long as it stays out of FOREX. Shot up so high. even at this price it is >50% up from 2007 feb. After splitting i think it actually went to ard 5.5 n hit by scandal.

4. Keppel Corp - BUY (~12) if this ever come to 12 bucks or below you know where to park ur money. biggest shipping player in the world. nv fail stock

5. Jurong Tech - BUY (<40cents) the company is still doing it's usual biz but strangely enough it has been sold down so badly. heard that a fund is collecting this stock n hopefully it will be rallying up soon. but really hard to say.. i was thinking of buying at 65cent but now it's 40. I wonder how low it can go but it's almost smaller than it's NAV alrd. but at real low price like this, hold long enough u see sunshine

6. other counters i believe in - SPH, Sintel, SIA (below 14, if ever), Capital Land (really good price now.. but could go a little lower, property boom has juz got started.. so you see why it's a good price now)

basically i still believe in oil play.. so shipping of course. it should stay at high prices for some time... up n coming should be aviation n property. Other than that I will look at fundamentally well stock which can give u shelter such as singtel, SPH. THis sell down can prob touch ard 3050 or even 2950. but in a week or 2 will be chinese new year rally. so it's really good time to make some ang pau money if u want to. I am really so sad that I am out of these cuz mine is stuck at F&N. caveat!

Job

getting a job soon. on campus at the sports centre. things include admin, organizing activities, tournaments, ref etc. sometimes have to do some water changing of swimming pool or grass trimming. but i think it's pretty cool though, did my paper work n hopefully can start next week. need money to travel man

oh yah.. the min pay in california by law is USD7 or USD 7.5 per hour. my jon is either 8 or 9 depends on the nature. which is pretty good compare to singapore. but well u gotta know that college grad here generally get 5000-8000 USD starting pay. and much more for masters/phD or management position. so well.. it's really what they call "THE AMERICAN DREAM!" i think.. but u gotta work pretty hard...

ok gotta go..

today is freaking cold day.. i think my fingers are frozen when i got back..

san francisco

hi all...
I m now at san francisco... booked a flight from LA to san francisco...
donno it's suay or lucky... i got in the midst of thunder storm in california... a lot of the flights well cancelled... hundreds.. or i should say.. thousands of people were left stranded in airports ard california... well.. how would i know this.. cuz i m also one of them.. well... luckly enough... mine wasn't cancelled... but... 9.05pm flight were delayed til 1130pm.. i were doing basically from nothing to everything in the small airport terminal for hours... well.. it's the first time i experience this though.. i meant.. we always see on the news about flights got delayed... cancelled etc on TV rite... well this time round i m in it.. you can see people yelling at the customer services.. people calling friends and relative... people making last minute travel plans... people cancelling their hotel oversea... people simply get themselve drunk in the bar... all sorts of things... ok enough said..


anw.. on another note... i really love this country... eg1. You walk into a bus in singapore alone... a journey of 45 minutes... I will bet 50 bucks that you won't speak a word to anybody... and now.. I walk into a bus in Orange county, California. "hi dude, how're u doing man." said the bus driver. "Damn freaking cold night man, never seen a thunderstorm like this for ages.", "Have a nice day!" No matter you are black, white, yellow, grey or even red or blue... everybody you meet on the street would give you a friendly smile and most often than not speak a word or two. I was on this bus from UCI to my apartment. It took only 5-8min but I was actually talking to the driver about how expensive housing in Orange county is... This is humanity... and it really makes me feel good about this place... at least in california..

ok enough said.. Sorry all.. i m in my uncle's place.. so not photos to be uploaded this time... will do in the next few days... School starting soon.. !

Breakfast for today... lazy to write too much... lol
