Downloading a Youtube video

Saturday, 29 September 2007

My friend found this really old advertisement for Super Smash Bros. for the N64.

It’s the best thing we’ve both seen all day. I’ve already watched it thrice and I still find it funny.

I decided to save it down but my old Youtube download tool didn’t work anymore. A quick trip to Google brought me to this site. It saves the video to .FLV (flash) format. If you don’t have an FLV-compatible media player, you’ll either have to go download it (you can try this one if you’re lazy to search. You can’t make it full-screen though, which sucks. If you really hate the size, try something else) or convert it from FLV to something more common, such as .AVI format, using an online converter (I’ve yet to try it but this site looks promising) or offline software.

If whatever I just wrote is too confusing for you, just let me know if you need help.


Nelly Furtado - Maneater (LJX remix)

I came across this while I was checking my Friendster videos. It’s Maneater by Nelly Furtado, remixed by LJX. I feel that it’s nicer than the original song and so is the edited video.

Sorry Lime, I know you hate the song. Just give it a listen anyway, you might change your mind.


Poly Forum ‘07 sub-sub-theme group 1B rocks!

I love my Poly Forum group, sub-sub-theme 1B!

While most groups immediately disbanded and dispersed after the Poly Forum, my group is still mostly intact and in contact with one another. So far we’ve already had 2 outings and we’re planning to have many more.

I’m surprised that most of us get along very well with one another. Perhaps the amount of pre-forum work, effort and personal sacrifices bonded us strongly by the time we had our final meeting before the cruise. Arguments were forgotten and grudges were dropped the instant our presentation had been completed. A sense of unity formed and grew very quickly as the tension lessened.

We were strangers first identified by our different Polytechnics but we entered the ship as a family. That’s how it feels to me.

I’m feeling rather happy about it all.

I hope it lasts for a long time to come.


Time to be less anti-social I guess

Talked to a certain dude for the second time ever today. Surprisingly, he had some pretty good insight on one of my problems.

Conclusion: I have to get out more and talk to people more.


I am not blind

2nd CCA Drive today.

My club, SP Dee Jays had a booth up (yay). I went there for a while.

My (twin) sister was at the booth of her newly-formed club… SP Cheerleading.

Yeah yeah, total shocker, gee. I don’t need everyone with vision to remind me about it. She lives with me, remember? I already knew about it since a long time ago.

Our profiles in the school have probably risen again thanks to this… I have no idea if that’s a good or bad thing at this point in time.

Omg lah.


Washing-machine month

Friday, 21 September 2007

Posted: 01:20 hours (GMT+8)

In the last 30 plus days abouts, I’ve (in order of occurence):

  • Caught and threatened a grown man with bodily harm for being a pervert in the school library whilst studying for my exam - and still managed to pass
  • Snuck out to attend Gwen Stefani’s concert with one of my best friends (if anyone asks, I was studying on that day. Shh.) - So worth it
  • Attended the SPDJ social chalet - Got some committee stuff done on that day too
  • Been a model for a super small-scale fashion show (only around 50 plus audience?) as a favour to Leticia (I owe her many more). Wonder if I’ll get the photos. - Made some new friends
  • Celebrated Strawberry’s 19th birthday
  • Went on the Superstar Virgo for the Poly Forum cruise (I miss sub-sub-theme 1B!) - Made more new friends
  • Found out my friend fractured his back. Hope he’s okay.

I’ll elaborate more on the events if I ever feel up to it.

I realise I haven’t been able to think all that clearly this whole month. It feels as if I was sucked into a washing-machine, half-drowned by the activities and mixed emotions, then someone was kind enough to start the spin-dry cycle so I could settle down just a little.

All in all, it’s generally made me feel a little anti-social. I just want to sit somewhere with a bottle of something-not-good-for-my-health and have some peace and quiet.

Alas, I am short of money so I shall just sit at home with a pathetic healthy glass of milk.

Yes, it’s 1 plus in the morning. I don’t care. I can’t sleep and I refuse to. There’s too much going on in my head right now. It’s been like this for a while. You’d think I’d get used to it.

I hope things will clear up over the next week or so. I could really use the sleep.
