Well, let's try this again.
My last update here for quite a while (and yes, most of it can be seen at AnimeSuki), since I'll have to leave for National Service. This would end up being like a blog post...
 
   
  +
Gender: Male
Well, it was fun when it lasted. Didn't expect to last this long in TAMnI. I didn't have much interest in working on it after Shana was taken down, so I was kind of skeptical when I was asked to translate TAMnI by a friend of mine. I accepted it only because the idea of 'Science vs Religion' was covered in my school before (GCE 'A' level: General Paper for those who ask), and I was interested in it.

Age: 5400 (not 8100, goodness gracious)
To be honest, I wanted to work on Vol 1 first, for I actually felt that it would be more complete to do it from the beginning, but as I watched the anime (I've haven't watched it before working on this project), I felt that it'll be better to work on the season 2 series (which I suspect may end at Vol 13).
 
   
  +
Occupation: Civilian
As I worked on the series, I gradually come to like it, though sometimes the events just borders on absurdity (Don't flak me now). Then again, having to skip Vol 8 was a little weird for me, since I'm the perfectionist type (with OCD to boot), but after some 'convincing' (Again, don't flak me), I skipped through it. I know certain fans aren't happy about it, so forgive me for this.

Country of Birth: Singapore
I've been thinking about it, whether to work on Vol 11 after I finish Vol 8 instead of jumping back to 1, and decide that it'll depend on when Season 2 will be aired. If season 2 airs in Winter this year, I'll work on 11 after 8, if it airs anytime after that, I'll work from 1.

I'm a bit guilty about this, but my translation work could have been faster if I hadn't spent a lot of my free time firing dakkas in Touhou (Sorry folks). Other than that, the rest of my time was spent on work (though I should have cut down my sleeping time.)

Would like to thank EnigmaticRepose, ArkBlazer, Saganatsu for your contributions. I owe you many.

What am I doing now: R.E.T.I.R.E.D.
On another note, I might want to work on another series as a breather (occasionally, at least), so anyone can suggest which series?
 
 
If anyone feels that there are some things that need to be edited here, like my own grammatical mistakes or any detail that I left out in the translation, you can contact me at my email:[email protected], or simply post on the discussion thread on each page.
 
 
Anyway, to all fans of TAMnI, happy reading.
 
 
PS: My BMT ends on the 2nd of July. As for other information, kinsoku jikou desu~
 
 
And to any aspiring translators or translators who are worried about doing badly (including Twi, I've heard about you), don't hesitate and just do it. No translation is completely accurate, and to your benefit, there are always others to cover your back. You just need to plant the seed and others will help you grow it.

I know it a little late but, Congratulation '''Teh PIng''' on completing volume of 7 and know doing volume 9 of '''To Aru Majutsu No Index'''. your really fast at translating and posting each chapter everyday, I enjoyed reading your work and thank you so much for doing this (I always like saying nice complements to people it polite). Me and all my friends who go on bakatsuki.com want to say thank very much for doing this! Spring break comes next week, hoped you have a great vocation, you deserved it. Oh and season 2 of '''To Aru Majutsu No Index''' comes this October, Hooray
 
 
'''P.S. can you please reply to this message or my home page so I know that you got the message, thank you'''
 
 
I got the message, no probs~Teh Ping
 
 
is it really confirmed that the second season of index is coming on october? or where you just talking about railgun? :(
 
anyway ping thank you for translating volume 7 you did an awesome job thanks! ^^
 
also can i ask a shameless request that when you finish volume 10 you do volume 8? its just that im a huge accelerator fan and i just wanna know what happened to him between volume 6 and 12.
 
 
I noted above that I'll be doing 8 after 10, since I find it better to try and finish up as much of season 2 before season 2 even started. So ya, no probs. ~Teh Ping
 
 
with regards to the order of translation: might it make sense to translate the parts of volume 5 not covered by the anime (as far as I can tell) (chapters 3 & 4) before translating volume 1, as they aren't covered by the anime. just a suggestion: no pressure. Oh, while I'm at it: THANK YOU!! ~saganatsu
 
 
Hopefully, The_Observer from OneManga forums will continue to help with the translation, since he was the one who provided Vol 5 Chapter 2. If there's no updates on it by the time I finished 8, I may work on it, if my National Service doesn't drain my brain dead first.. ~Teh Ping

Dear '''Teh Ping''': (this might be long) I have heard that you are going to the military. Well congratulation, I hope that the army will help you and make you realize your destiny. I just wish you luck because my cousin went to the army and man did he tell me it was rough and you don’t get that much sleep at all, but I know you can do it!
 
 
Oh I saw your account at animesuki and saw that you like manga ('''one piece''') also. I read it at onemanga and I’m at the part were the war with white beard is officially over, and I love '''katekyo hitman reborn'''! I hope that you will be done with your order of doing '''To Aru Majutsu no Index''' before going to the army. I mean you’re the only one who translates(beside joay but he kinda slow, no offense joay if you happen to read this) this story series that I love so much!!!! But I still wish you luck in the military and hope to talk to you in person one day....... or on the net in here or '''animesuki'''. Oh I have a '''YouTube''' account so you can view the video I think are cool: it’s:''' mark1246'''
 
 
Thank you very much for all you done Teh Ping,
 
P.S. (please reply here or my homepage on either baka tsuki: '''mark1246''' (might be on recent changes) or you tube: '''mark1246'''
 
 
===From Teh Ping===
 
 
I got the message
 
 
Ah. Forgot to update that page... Lolz.
 
 
National Service is compulsory here in Singapore, and I'll have to remain in the Army for about 2 years. I'll have less time to work. Once I get into Army, I'll upload some translations on weekends, so don't despair when I get in. (Though I'm hoping for more translators, can't imagine myself surviving 20 volumes now, and that's including the SS novels.)
 
 
UPDATE: Okay, progress will be rather slow as compared to before, but I promise to finish up Volume 10 by the end of July.
 
 
==Hiatus Notice==
 
 
From now till 19th June, there would be no updates from me due to 2 reasons.
 
 
1. National Service BMT -- Need time to rest up, I'm getting less than 2 days break per week now. (Need physio on an old injury)
 
 
2. Translator's Hell -- Well, even I have them. (Getting brain drained at an increasingly alarming rate.)
 
 
I'm sorry that I'm unable to continue for now, but rest assured that I would still continue to work on this series after this.
 
 
~Teh Ping
 
 
EDIT: Season 2 was announced, and I'm currently on the injured list, so the comeback date may vary. (Only 10 minutes to work on this, going to hospital now...)
 
 
Hope you get better soon! ~saganatsu
 
 
take all the rest you need and don't worry; i hope it isn't anything serious dude :( ~ark
 
 
EDIT 2: Thanks guys, I'm updating this week (as of 12/06/2010), but I won't be back next week due to certain reasons (some of them are really stupid...). With Index season 2 coming up probably during Winter, I guess I would have to pick up the pace again.

So you won't b able to translate for 3 weeks, man that horrible. But can’t be selfish about this. Just Focus on the army for now and get good rest see you again on translating on June 19th.
 
 
 
from: Ark

Take a good rest and hope you get well soon.

==End of the Hiatus==
 
 
Will be back till Friday. (My MC runs out till then.) After that, I have to book in, get my stuff, and book out. I know it's weird, but that's how it is...
 
 
So here's what happened. I fainted in my bunk last Friday, went to see the doctor, and got admitted into hospital (which means no internet, which means I can't check my uni application status.) At the same time, I went to check up on my right elbow (it was dislocated before, and apparently, there's a fracture on it now...), and thanks to that, it looks like I'll be out of combat duty after my BMT. So if you're wondering, yes, I used that time in the hospital to do the translation, again. Almost all the scans are normal, though I do have some instances (12 in fact) when my blood pressure was over 140, and right now, I'm waiting for the results of a 24-hr cardio monitoring scan to see if I'm able to continue to serve my National Service (since my family has a history of heart-related problems).
 
 
Glad to see that the Observer from OneManga forums is contributing more now. Now that Season 2 is announced, I'll try and pick up the pace (should be easier when I don't have to do combat duty). After 10, I'll jump back to 8, though I'm still trying to figure out some of the terminologies here (it's like Vol 9 Chp 2 all over again.)
 
 
I guess I'm turning this into my own personal blogspace. Well, at least this place doesn't need much maintenance.
 
 
Most likely finishing up Vol 10 this weekend. After that, we'll see how it goes here.
 
 
~Teh Ping
 
 
That blood pressure sounds quite bad. I hope it's nothing and you will be fully recovered soon. --[[User:Hypernova|Hypernova]] 11:26, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 
 
==Sighs...===
 
 
Well, last week of BMT, I'm placed on the injured list, so that means no participation in parade, and no 24km route match...
 
 
As of now, I've done volume 7, 9 and 10. I wanted to do volume 8 in camp when I have time (and for this week, I guess I will have a lot of it), so I went over to a bookstore to see if there's any volume 8. None, there's volume 11. The reason why I wanted to buy it is so that I can save on printer ink, because this is how I'm working now. Oh well...
 
 
As for my blood pressure, the last time I measured it, it was a 100/45. A standard person's blood pressure is supposed to be 120/80, so it's a bit weird. Is it high, low or normal? Will get the results for that tomorrow (well, most likely.)
 
 
Anyway,I failed to get into university, so I'm considering of taking the SAT test instead of 'A' levels. (Because there are more examinations per year, which makes it more convenient.)
 
 
Hopefully, I can see you guys next week.
 
 
~Teh Ping
 
 
 
I kind of hope to see volume 11 rather than 8, but if it's your call, I won't complain of course.
 
 
100/45 is defnitely wrong. Diastolic should not be that low. You can't feel ok having that kind of blood pressure I think. I'm a little bit low on systolic (110) and my vision getting dark if I stand up too fast.
