Growing Up Sux

Sigh...

Its amazing...

I'm kinda lazy right now so I'm just gonna keep this short.

Its really amazing how vast the Internet is.

Just take this blog for example. I used to post rubbish here as a kid and nowadays I only visit this place when I cant sleep at night and really have nothing else to occupy my time with. And what do u know? Despite me updating this place like once a year or something just for the fun of it, people actually do stumble across this place and leave behind comments. It isnt a whole lot of comments, that's for sure, but they are comments nonetheless. Sometimes I reply and sometimes I don't. But whatever the case its like this link was created. And its not like I went and wrote all these rants and all so people would come and read them.

Its kinda like the Internets version of the six degrees of separation or whatever.

Makes me think whether I would live to see the day when the internet is TRULY integrated into every aspect of our lives. Kinda like how it is in Ghost in the Shell and Real Drive.

How long more till our online persona represent us as much as our real being do? How long more till us being able to communicate across the internet as well as we do in person? How long more till Questworld becomes a reality?!

... ...

I think I'm over thinking things... ...

Ah well...

Whatever.

Wats up wif that?!

2010-11-05T01:24:00.002+08:00

Sooo I was loginning to my various e-mail accounts in a futile effort to try and retrieve my Steam account password. (Goddammit! I cant even rmb which fucking e-mail account I register it under) And as I logged on to the gmail account that this blog was registered under, as expected, wat for waiting for me was a whole pile of spam comments and shit which I promptly deleted... But among all that crap was a comment that went like this:

"Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!"

Now anyone wif half a brain can see that this abandoned blog is anything BUT "getting better and better!" Its fucking dead! And the only reason I dun scrap it completely or watever is so that once in a while I can come up here, read the stuff that I wrote, and laugh at how much of an idiot I was (and probably still is...)!

Now despite my skepticism. I actually thought, for jus a moment, that someone actually cared. LOL. That someone actually read a random post on this random blog that I never really told anyone about. That is of course until I went and google that comment. I went and google that whole comment and guess wat? There's a whole bunch of other blogs out there wif the EXACT SAME COMMENT posted. Wats up wif that?!

Go on, try it yourself. Google that comment and u will see wat I mean.

*Wait for u to finish Googling

I know! Crazy right?!

I mean, as far as I can tell... Its not one of those stupid spam comment that goes something like:

"Hi Nice article! I agree also.
For nice cheap jeans and shit go here www.wateverthelinkis.com"

There no links in the comment, there nothing that even mentions any product of any kind. So wat is up wif that?!

So wat? This guy goes around the net posting nice comments on random blogs and such in a bid to wat? Motivate the bloggers? rofl. Even if someone programmed a bot or something to do that, wat is the point? Anyone that knows anything feel free to tell me cause I'm quite puzzled as to why someone would go around posting a meaningless post randomly for wat seems like no reason.

ps: If I'm gonna consider keeping this place, I seriously have to do something about that blog title... Child of The Dark?! Wtf was I thinking?! I mean seriously... ...

It feels like its been so long... ...

2009-12-15T04:21:00.002+08:00

So I just decided to check one of my alternate e-mail accounts which happened to be the one I used to sign up for this blog... ... And I noticed I actually got some responses over the years I was gone... ...

Responses include people asking me how much Odex fined me for downloading Anime (Just to be clear I nvr was fined for DLing Anime... The post I made on it was referring to an Odex letter I found on the net. I did mention that on that post I believe.), shouts of support for my rally against the tyranny know as SPSU, calls for help to open up dead relative's Nigerian bank accounts, praises that suggests that I wasnt the only one thinking that the timeslot of AniMania on ArtsCentral should be thought through carefully and believe it or not... a HELL lot of comments written in Japanese...

I mean... Wut teh FUK is up with that?! I cant be bothered to translate any of them using my limited knowledge of the freaking language so using Babel Fish is as much effort as I could muster in my attempt to decipher wtf they are talking about... ...

So apparently some of them are getting me to sign for to some web services or wat not... Some online sex services (Sheer watever gave them the idea I would be interested in that? >.>), and some of them were talking about stalkers and how scary it is to have online stalkers stalking you with their handphones... ... And it gets better... One was telling me something about being lonely and that parents cant be depended on and shit like that... ...

Now... Y THE FUCK ARE U TELLING ME ALL THIS? How the FUCK did they even get here? How the FUCK did the messages get here? I mean, they all had docomo e-mail addresses and shit... So they are legit( I think?) ... So y? Y me? And wat for? Maybe I'm missing something obvious here be atm I'm puzzled as to why these people would come here to tell me about runaway girls and wat not?

Anywayz... So... Here I'm again... Writing a post into this blog with this ridiculous name (What WAS I thinking when I named this blog?), despite having thought that I never will again either because I got bored or just got tired shouting at a wall and pouring heart and soul into something that will never serve any purpose other than as an outlet for my emotions and thoughts... ... I never did write a "last post", perhaps this one will be that "last post"... But then again, someday I just might get this feeling to write another one... ...

So, a quick summary of the past years that were not mentioned on this blog... ...

Basically, I got into the World of Warcraft... In Azeroth (Azeroth is the World of... Warcraft... Self explanatory right?) I created some of the best memories I have of these past years, and also some not-so-good ones... ... My time spent playing WoW had its highs and lows but ultimately it almost ruined my life by creating havoc in my studies, social life and wat nots. Drama was the main cause, but even after all that Drama that soured some friendships (Eventually causing one of our own to leave and never come back) I continued playing anywayz... It was only after the game went to shit these past few months did I finally decided to breakaway from it all... ...

Although I am contemplating on returning to play the game as a casual... ...

So after experiencing the sometimes RL fuck up that is WoW I decided I needed a new game to potentially ruin my already fucked up life so I got into BlazBlue... Which I have to say isnt nearly as damaging as WoW... So amidst all this fuck ups I have to say a lot about me has changed... ...

The one word that I would describe the new me would be "ennui"

Definition of ennui from Wiktionary.com

"Noun

ennui (uncountable)
A gripping listlessness or melancholia caused by boredom; depression. "

Simply put I'm bored to the point of depression... This state of depression then leads me to have a bleak outlook on life and everything around me which then leads to further depression... ... A vicious cycle...

Oh and I hate Anime now... I might write a post on this and some other related stuff on a later date... Or maybe I wont... I dunno... ...

So basically I hate life right now... There just isnt anything to look forward to in a new day... The day jus consists of me dragging my ass to school and dragging it back home so I can sleep the day away... Or maybe I would occasionally drop by the arcade at bugis to play BlazBlue and basically let the pros eat my coins... ... Its either that or stress over final year project... ...

Oh and after all this shit is over I get a complimentary haircut from the government and a one-way boat trip to an exotic island to enjoy an all-expense-paid 60 day 59 night vacation. Whoopee-FUCKING-doo!

So I guess thats all I have to talk about for now... Well not really, but jus that voicing out all my hate and discontent would jus take too bloody long... ...

Imma show all the Japanese comments in that other post... Lazy to go through all of them one by one to sort out the adverts... I dun understand wat they're talking about anywayz... ... If someone can translate for me... Feel free to do so... ...

Go for broke!

2007-08-25T02:34:00.000+08:00

"Go for broke!" is the slogan for the ever popular beat 'em up game, Street Fighter... And I have no idea wat it means...I read somewhere that it means to gamble everything... ...

Anywayz...In my case it means to go broke!

Cause I'm going to KKnM's Chara Fest TML (Or rather today... Judging by the time)!!! WOOT!!!

However, sadly enough... KKnM didnt bring much figurines back from Japan...Which is the main focus in my budding collection... ...HOWEVER! They are having this event within an event thingy where somewhere between 2-4 PM, there will be half an hour where figurines will be sold at a cheaper price! That means I can get my Mai at a cheaper price! WOOT!!!

But that does not mean that I'm not gonna buy other stuff though... ...I'm currently aiming for random stuff like Shakugan no Shana pencil boards and clear folders, a Zero no Tsukaima towel and Suzumiya Haruhi desk mats... ...I might even buy the absurdly high priced Suzumiya Haruhi Phone Cards!!! (Note that the phone cards are $27.90 while that much bigger and prettier desk mats are only $15.80)

I was worried that I wont hav enough money to buy anything at all...As I hav not exactly been saving money for as long as I can remember...So I went ahead and did something desperate...I begged my mom for money...Now my dad is more willing to endow money upon me while my mom is quite fussy about the way money is spent...But I decided to beg my mom instead as I get the feeling she understands me more... And guess wat? I GOT $300 bucks! And she did it without much of a fight! That was a surprise...When I got her to sign up of Final Fantasy XI...It took me a lot of convincing for her to lend me her credit card... ... I tried playing safe by asking for $200 at first...But when she agreed...I decided to push further and asked for $300...And she actually went to the bank or watever in the middle of the night to get me the money! I feel so touched lol!

Now this $300 bucks plus a few last minute savings will allow me to buy a few decent products...PLUS my Mai... ...

And after Chara Fest going to Natsu Matsuri!!! TWO FESTIVALS IN A ROW!!!

I'm coming for u Mai!!!

p/s: So excited I cant slp... ...

Bittersweet... ...

2007-08-22T23:27:00.000+08:00

Bitter:

I procrastinated too much...The deadline to post Chara Fest banner on my blog for a chance to get free goodies is over...Oh well...Didnt think they will notice my tiny blog anywayz... ...

I asked Yi Wei to go Sunshine first thing in the morning to help me order Kyon's sister(Suzumiya Haruhi) the moment KKnM opens...But apparently someone has already ordered it VIA PHONE!!! WAH SO PRO!!! ORDER VIA PHONE!!! Cant fight wif him sia... ...And according to Yi Wei they could only managed to get ONE Kyon's sister...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo!!!!!!! There is a slim chance that they might be able to get 1 or 2 more so...EVERYONE!!! PRAY FOR ME!!!

Sweet:

YES!!! FINALLY FINISHED THE LAST PAPER TODAY!!! (Although I most likely buanged most of them... ...)

Shawn sent me the latest version of Melty Blood, Melty Blood: Act Cadenza ver. B and I totally pwned the AIs using Ciel... ...Now to look for Fatal/Fake... ...

I FINALLY FOUND THE MAI FIGURINE I WAS LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!
CHECK OUT THIS HOT BABE!!!WOOT!!!

Oh yeah! It my Birthday! Its my Birthday!

I saw the alternated colour version b4...The black or purple or dark blue...watever...on the net and at La Tendo... ...But nothing beats the original red hot colour scheme... ...Finally found it at KKnM this afternoon... ...

I didnt hav the money to pay for it at the time (Duh! Its like $109). But KKnM's Lao Pan Niang (Boss's wife in Hokkien ) was kind enough to help me keep it for a while... ...So I got a week or two to save up $109... TIME TO STARVE!!!

Here comes a new challenger!

2007-08-15T02:52:00.000+08:00

Found a GREAT Anime in the making recently...I'm toking about the recently aired but already rabidly popular Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei... ...

And this Anime is slowly threating the place NHK ni Youkoso has in my heart... ...NHK will always be special to me...But Zetsubou Sensei is a seriously strong contender to that place... To giv u an idea of how good Zetsubou Sensei is...For example, NHK ni Youkoso features a Hikikomori, Zetsubou Sensei features a guy who is highly pessimistic, depressive and suicidal... ...Which is of course Itoshiki Nozomu aka Zetsubou Sensei... ...

Thats not all! There is also Misaki-Chan's(NHK ni Youkoso) counterpart, Fuura Kafuka (Btw thats not her real name... No idea wats hers real name...) a girl who is highly optimistic, cheerful and definitely non-suicidal...She is everything that Itoshiki Sensei isnt... ...

Aside from these two extreme personalities there is ,so far, Otonashi Meru (Her first name is a play of the word "mail" While her last name means "silent" in Japanese) who can only communicate via SMS which she uses to hurl abuses, Kitsu Chiri (Her name comes from the Japanese word Kicchiri which means "Correctly" a overly perfect perfectionist, a Kimura Kaere (Her first name comes from the word "kaere" which means "go back" in Japanese, a reference to her youth when kids used to shout "Kaere Kimura!", "Go back Kimura!" in Japanese at her because she is a caucasian. Name also comes from Japanese Idol Kimura Kaela) a caucasian ,or maybe mixed blood since her name is in Japanese, returnee with dual personalities, Tsunetsuki Matoi (When rearranged as Tsune Tsukimatoi it means "Always following" in Japanese) a stalker, Sekiutsu Maria Tarou (Her name shortens to "Seki uttarou" which means "I'll sell my name" in Japanese) an illegal immigrant who bought her name and identity from another student and Komori Kiri (No one confirmed this but I noticed that when her name is arranged wif the first name first, Kiri Komori, merge the two words and u swap some syllables and u get hikikomori) Zetsubou Sensei's very own hikikomori... ..

And these are jus SOME of the female students... I haven even touch on the males and Itoshiki Sensei's relatives who have yet to appear in the Anime... ...It seems like this series brings together all the extremes of society and place them together... ... They range from hikikomori (Komori Kiri) to Yaoi fangirls(Fujiyoshi Harumi, Fujiyoshi meaning "Yaoi fangirls" and Harumi being the previous Comiket location)...I jus cant wait till the next weird character gets introduced... ...

Another thing about the series is its unusual art style... ...It reminds me of pop art and sometimes even surrealism... ...Others hav commented that its weird or special...But I choose to view it as unique... ...The music is also special but not so much that it has nvr been encountered b4... ...Its use of music is pretty much like NHK's... ...The atmosphere the music creates sometimes clashes wif the atmosphere of the visual being shown and it creates a hilarious effect... ...

To giv a sample of how the series is like... Here are some snippets from the first ep... ...

A very small degree of hope is sufficient to cause the birth of love.

-Stendhal (1783-1842 French)

I hav no idea who Stendhal is but if not for this quote being the first thing to appear in the first ep there would be close to no clue that this series will hav romance in it... ...But since this quote appeared, its almost confirmed to hav a romantic ending of sorts... ...Although it might not be the Kafuka (Optimistic girl)...For now it looks like Matoi (Stalker girl) might be the one... ...

Itoshiki Sensei's first attempt at his own life in the series... ...

She then saves him by using her weight to snap the rope -.- AND she insists that he was only trying to make himself grow taller lol!

A "man" who can only see everything in a negative light

A "girl" who can only see everything in a positive light

Based on the (hilarious)chaos that came after the meeting...I, too, hav doubts about whether the meeting was meant to happen lol.

The were several references to Negima! and/or Negima!? in the show...Some ppl even compared the two and/or three shows...But as far as I'm concerned, the similarities end at the at fact that both shows features a class... ...Itoshiki Sensei's class is not even females only (Albeit the show focuses more on the girls). The show only uses Negima! and/or Negima!? for parodies...Thats all... ...

On the other hand...There is a strong similarity between Zetsubou Sensei and NHK...Both hav less than normal adult male leads with younger female leads that will more or less save them from their erroneous ways... ...Although while Kafuka is the direct opposite of Itoshiki Sensei...Misaki-Chan wasnt exactly the opposite of Satou... ...

But one fact, other than the similarity of the plot of the two shows, made me feel that Zetsubou Sensei is trying to go head on wif NHK or at least ride NHK's popularity, is that the singer of the ending for NHK ni Youkoso, Odoru Akachan Ningen (Dancing Baby Humans) is the same as the one who sang the opening of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Hitotoshite Jiku ga Bureteiru (Damn Twisted Person)... ... Lol it might jus be me as Ōtsuki Kenji(The singer duh) is a pretty famous guy in Otaku circles so it might hav jus been a coincidence....Or is it?

Either way...Its Shaft vs GONZO...I cant say which studio wins in this battle as Zetsubou Sensei has yet to finish airing, but based on track records...My money's on GONZO... ...

Cosplay Matsuri Sucked!!!!!!!

2007-08-11T23:09:00.000+08:00

Helped out there... ...It sucked... ...

REALLY glad that Jon couldnt make it... I dun wan him to get a bad first impression of cosplay by judging all cosplayers based on those that turned up for Matsuri... ...

I dun even get the point of Matsuri...I mean... Cosfest VI was to choose a representative for WCS (World Cosplay Submit) But I heard Matsuri was to choose the two best cosplayers to represent another up coming local event... ...Wat for?

There were like less than 20% of the amount of ppl who turned up for Cosfest VI...And the standard... ...Even after taking into account that cosplay generally sux...They suxed...Bad... ...

I mean...I understand that cosplaying is to make believe ur fav characters...But please...If u look nothing like them... ...Spare others the agony... (Omg...That overweight Sakura (Tsubasa)... ...)

All in all the event was a no show... ...It was hilarious how the host kept urging cosplayers to join the "competition" as I saw less than ten ppl went up to "compete".

Lol and to think that I beat myself up for forgetting to bring a cam... ...

I was comparing wif Cosfest VI when I was a Matsuri and I realized that it was not really fair since Cosfest is THE cosplay event of the year in Singapore and if u are hoping to see cosplayers wif any standard at all... Thats the event to be... ... BUT! U CANT BLAME ME FOR HATING MATSURI AFTER SEEING THE CUTE SHINIGAMI BABES AT COSFEST!!!!!!!

Haiz... I was hoping they would show up at Matsuri... ...

If u think I am being mean... ...Wait till u heard wat the rest did...They dissed the cosplayers in front of a J-Rock cosplayer lol... Best thing is... They even said that those cosplayers biggest mistake is their face lol! And the J-Rock guy replied angrily,"Then go plastic surgery is it?" Lol...And they thought he was joining in wif the cosplayer dissing conversation... ...He looked ready to beat them up lol... ...

Well...The day was not a complete lost though...We got an E2Max member card thingy as we were facilitators of a booth there(Yeah right...We jus goofed around, watch Anime and read mags)... Apparently...It giv us discount when we order Cathay tickets, allows us to rent DVDs for free and some other cool stuff...Which I most probably would nvr use... ...

We oso got a bunch of free Rogue(Local Anime mag) mag...WHICH ARE DATED AT 2007!!! One of them came wif a okay Loki poster though...JW will be thrilled...He LOVES that Anime... ...

BUT the most important thing is I got THESE b4 I went for Matsuri!!!

WOOT MEGAMI...Oh and the less interesting Dengeki HOBBY... ...

FREE StrikerS PENCIL BOARD!!! DAMN Odex for licensing even StrikerS... ...

Yes Marcus... I know Fate is sexier...But my...How Nanoha has grown since I first saw her on Channel U... ...

ARGH!!! This reminds me of the fact that I missed vol. 77 of Megami wif the centerfold of Louise in nightgown lying on the bed!!! She had that shy look on that centerfold too!!! Plus that centerfold was a full body pic!!! This one is cut off at the legs!!!

Opps...The cam strap is in pic...Anywayz...Marcus said that this centerfold(Which is behind the previous one) is better than the previous one and we went,"ARE U BLIND?!?!?!"... ...

Thinking of buying another copy to get another pencil board so I can actually USE it... ...(Fyi I dun usually use the Anime stuff I buy...Shawn says I'm weird...I think so too... ...) But dun think its possible... Me, Shawn and Marcus bought the last three copies...So much for Yi Wei being the buy-last-available-item king... lol... ...

Who's birthday is it again?

2007-08-09T22:47:00.000+08:00

OH YA...ITS JW's DAD's BIRTHDAY!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. LEONG!!!!!!!

Anywayz...Went to some crap National Day celebration at school for the sake of CCA points...Left before the thing even started lol... ...

I must say I'm pretty impressed wif their "Goodie Bag"...Despite it being packaged wif cheap Popular (The bookshop u twit) and budget Pasa Malem (Night Market in Malay) they actually provided burgers! Fine...They're budget $2 KFC burgers...But hey...Thats more that most schools are willing to go... ...

But I let anyway...They placed "bouncers" at the exits to stop ppl who took the "Goodie" bags from leaving...When I told them straight I was am leaving for home they smiled weakly and told me I cant... ...Hearing that I was stun for a moment...Trying to find a peaceful solution...So I walked to another exit...This a lecturer stopped me...I told I was getting food...He than said that burgers are provided...I then gave him the blankest face I could muster and said I wanted to get more...Getting the picture he said, "Aiya...Jus wan to cha bo (Pon in a certain language... I cant even explain pon in English) right?" Glad that he understood my intentions I walked off...Of course...Being a lecturer...He was burning a hole in my back...I could feel it... ...

Anywayz... I had better things to do than to wave flags under the hot sun and pretend that I'm patriotic...Cause I'm not... ...

Like face lifting my room... ...

My shelves have been cleared of useless mags like Newsweek and hav become this:

From this... ...

To this... ...Yeah...Its not much...Yet... ...

Well to be fair...To me...Not all are there...I hav yet to place the box set figurines out yet...Considering to buy a clear display case to place those box set figurines...Plus the others are at other parts of the room (And some I cant display because of certain reasons...)... ...Oh...You would hav noticed that its an all female cast...Heh...Except for Mizuho of course...But I'll jus ignore the fact that Mizuho's a guy... ...

But the biggest change is the walls!

I finally got up and put up all the posters I hav been saving... ...

*Sigh*

I love my room now lol... ...

Look who's on TV!!!

2007-08-06T23:59:00.000+08:00

Rachel appeared on TV today lol... She went to the live Campus Superstar thingy to support one of her friend from sch (Dunno which one...I dun watch bo liao TV competitions) and she was sitting right behind the judges!!! So whenever the judges tok can see her lol...

I didnt even know she went to see the show...She came back before the results were shown and when I heard about it I went to watch the results show...When they recapped the judges comments keep seeing her lol... I was saying whether want to record that ep, zoom in on her face and post on YouTube lol ... ...

Was the first time I watch Campus Superstar...Jus to see my sis on TV lol...

Btw...Her sch's representative got kicked out...Not that it matters... ...

11th Craz!est Toy Sale! Again... ...

2007-08-05T21:58:00.001+08:00

Went to Taka AGAIN!

But didnt spend as much this time...Most probably cause I got most of the stuff I wanted the other time... ...

I got the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni box set I left there the other day because of lack of funds... ...

Got it this time... ...I'm not sure if I wanna display the figurines out now...I am considering getting a clear plastic case to place all of my tiny box set figurines out... ...

Btw...I paid $35 for this but the other time when I went wif JW it was $16!!! They fucking RAISED THE PRICE!!! The box set has 8 figurines...The other time was $2 ea so the set was $16 but this time ea figurine was $5! But they sold the set at $35 which is the price of 7 figurines as if trying to make it up to customers or something... ...

And wat pissed me off more is that prices of certain figurines DROPPED!!! Figurines that I already bought!!! I bought a D.C. (Not Detective Comics...) figurine at $20 the other time and this time its $15!!! WTF?!?!?! But on the bright side...Some of the figurines I opted to buy the other time instead of the Higurashi box set were no longer there... ... Shawn was laughing at how I hav to pay more than double the price...But he got himself a box set anyway... ...

I also got this... ...

Miyanokouji Mizuho of Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru...Aint she hot? Fyi...She is a He...But I try to ignore that fact... ...

This wasnt there last the other time so...Yeah...Glad I got this...I got this without spending a single cent... Thx to Yi Wei... ...

When I went to pay for the Higurahshi box set I ask the cashier why the price went up and that it was only $16 last week and he was like, "Last week wat...U say liao last week..." Then I was pissed and said, "This is a sale...Prices go down during sales...Not up! This is not how u do business..." Then he noticed that I was really angry and he tiam tiam...God...I hate Taka... ...

Went to Chinatown b4 going to Taka... ...I didnt know there were so many figurines shop there!!! I am SO going once I hav cash... ...I got my eye on a Haruhi poster...Heh heh heh... ...

Animania Returns... ...

2007-08-01T00:17:00.000+08:00

HAHA...Its official... ... The 11 PM time slot wins and thus Midnight Mania is out and Animania returns... ...

I cant say wats the final score since Art Central's site cocked up... ...

Anywayz...They broadcast an ad yesterday announcing officially that 11 PM won... They said "It was a close fight, but one stood out!" I shall not say how contradicting this sentence is by saying it was a close fight then saying that one stood out...But it was a close fight? Lol... The last time I saw the poll it was like 20,000++ vs 3,900+ lah...

I checked this weeks timetable for the programs being broadcast on Arts Central and since Animanic returns, meaning that both the time and days are reverted back to the original, there will oso be Anime being broadcast this Wed-Fri...So... Woot! Anime from Tues-Fri! But sadly it only applies to this week... ...

They broadcast the last two ep of Jigoku Shoujo (Hell Girl in Japanese) 2dae... ...It has been a pretty mindless horror flick all this time but the ending was quite good...Mildly heart warming and sad... ...I guess the only thing about the show that moved me is Enma Ai's sad past...And of course the cuteness of the young Enma Ai...Not that the pre-teen Enma Ai isn't already cute... ...In fact...I find that her character design is one of the most intriguing, mysterious and yet cute... ...

Enough about Enma-San... ...Well basically the show isn't much of anything...Good animation though...But that alone would hav only scored it a 3...But since the ending made me think and moved me somewat...I giv it 5/10... ...But I personally giv Enma-San's character design 9/10! Lol... ...

Oh ya...This reminds me...I forgot to blog about this... ... There was this one ep that perked my interest and made me look forward to watever was gonna happen next... ...

It was this ep called Jigoku Shoujo tai Jigoku Shounen (Hell Girl vs Hell Boy). At first... I thought that Gill du Ronfell (Jigoku Shounen) was a fraud wif no real powers...But when it turned out that he really had powers...powers that rivaled Jigoku Shoujo's I got excited...I really love it when opposites who are extremely similar fight like Dark and Krad of D.N.Angel ,Spawn and The Redeemer of...well...Spawn and of course Char and Amuro of Mobile Suit Gundam... ...BUT...Jus as things got interesting...THE ENTIRE FIGHT SCENE WAS FUCKING CUT OUT!!! ARGH!!! AND MY PARENT ASK ME Y I CANT STAND SINGAPORE!!! I'M SUFFOCATING IN THIS STINKING SEWER!!! I HATE THIS SUFFOCATING SOCIETY!!! I CANT BREATH HERE!!! I WANNA MIGRATE!!!!!!!

*Takes Deep Breath*

That ep could hav made that show a 6...Oh welll...Born in Singapore...Wat to do... ...

Oh...They are showing "D.Gray-man" and The Melody of Oblivion" next... ...D.Gray-man huh? That will be the 1st mainstream Anime they are showing...Besides Inuyasha...But Inuyasha is famous but not necessarily mainstream...Not excited about it though...On the other hand...I'm pretty interested in The Melody of Oblivion... ... (I realize this paragraph does not sound coherent...Thats cause I'm jus musing... ...)

At least no repeats this time... ...

11th Craz!est Toy Sale!

2007-07-29T23:01:00.000+08:00

Went to watch Paprika wif JW 2dae... ... Well basically Paprika is about a movie where there is this machine that allows ppl to enter other's dreams and naturally it gets stolen and all the expected chaos comes into the picture... ...

Overall it was a very good movie...8/10...GREAT animation (Yes, this movie's animation gets a GREAT rating from me... ...) and highly intriguing storyline... It was done by Madhouse Studio... ...They did Final Fantasy VII: Last Order so the animation is quuiitteee similar...But I wouldnt hav linked the two movies if I didnt know b4 hand that they both were done by the same studio. But the animation reminded me of The Animatrix's animation though... Oh... Wiki says "World Record" and "Program" of The Animatrix are done by them... ...Knew it... ...

It was a pretty complicated movie... ...Quite intelligent... ...Or rather it appears to be intelligent... ...Once one has finished the movie and giv some thought to it various loopholes can be found...Many things dun fit... ...But at least it givs u a full and smooth flowing story while u r watching it... ...But thats onli WHILE u r watching it...Think deeper and all the flaws start showing... ...So the stupid guys might enjoy it to its full extend... ...

I hav to commend on its creative though... ...I cant really describe it... Watch to find out...U will get blown away only after the first few minutes... ...

All in all... Enjoyed it... ...Not that thrilled about who Paprika ended up wif though...No spoilers here so go watch it urself to find out... ...

Oh ya...Forgot to mention the movie was screened only in The Picture House...A special theater in The Cathy... ...Nice cozy theater for Arts only movies... ...Kinda like an exclusive theater for the classier movies that are not mainstream... ...No food and drinks allowed in the theater though...But fine by me... ...

Went to Sunshine after the movie... ...Bought this... ...

Say hi to Shana! I pre-ordered one from KKnM which has nicer hair (Look more like blazing hair) but this one has a better pose... ...Partly because it has a partial panty view lol!

After that we went to Taka for the 11th Craz!est Toy Sale...I heard about it yesterday when Shane brought us to Clark Quay for dinner...He treated us to dinner since it was his BDae... ...I saw one of them holding a Nanoha figurine and the price was like 20 bucks... ...And all of us were like spasming over it and he told us about the sale... ...

I saw that same Nanoha today at Ani-Play and it was a freaking EIGHTY-SEVEN DOLLARS!!!
And so we chionged there...

We went around in circles in Kino (Haven been there in a long time liao wat... ...) and searched the entire toy department for Nanoha... ...Couldnt find... ...I decided to show JW the Modanyaki I used to eat wif HC during the 'O' Level days... ...We went down and saw a giant "CRAZ!EST TOY SALE!" sign... ...

*Slaps Forehead*

And so we chionged...Still no Nanoha...But still...Lots of great stuff at...Well... ...Crazy prices... ...

We grabbed so many stuff that even the parents who were going crazy wif their kids stared at us... ...In the end we took too many though... ..Had to give up Makie (Negima!) , Ouno Kanako (Genshiken) and a Higurashi no Naku Koro ni figurine set... ...But take a look at THIS!

Woot...And this is only my stuff...Not counting JW's... ...I oso bought a Evangeline(Negima!) figurine for my little sis...But wif her so not here... ...

You might hav noticed it liao but I jus bought me 1st H figurine!!! WOOT!!!

Now... ...Where am I gonna place this... ...

Sexy image on the back...But a pity the figurine isnt as detailed... ...

To see this in Sunshine is one thing...To see this in Taka?...I wonder if they even know wat they are selling... ...

The male cashier giggled...Yes...giggled as in girly laugh and showed the female cashier the figurine...Watever man...Someone's gonna buy it...Might as well be me... ...Plus...There were like ten boxes of these out on display and about two different figurines of characters of H Anime (Like G Taste). Since u guys sell it...I'm buying it...I'm a hot blooded male and i'm lovin' it! McDonald style...Not Justin Timberlake... ...

The sale is till the 12th of August... ...Might be going back for more... ...

Torn... ...

2007-07-26T21:24:00.000+08:00

Yup...thats EXACTLY how I am feeling right now... And no it is not torn as in I am hurt or something...Its more like torn between two of my fav activities... ...

Whoever said that Poly students hav it easy can very well go... ...Well, I wanted to say go suck the dick of the next stray dog they meet... but I guess dying should suffice... ...

I am up to my HAIR wif work...Sure...Lecturers sometimes cancel lessons and even if u skip a lesson or two no one cares... But the work load I'm having now is RIDICULOUS! I hav countless of presentations ahead...Tons of assignments to hand in! And not to mention a Web Site to finish up!

And my groupmates aren't exactly helpful wif their indecisiveness or sometimes blatant laziness...I'm of course not saying that I am not lazy...In fact I am one of the greatest slackers...But HEY! At least I do my part and because of that our group produces results... I hate ppl who says I slacks but churn out carp that cant be used in the project... Then they BEG me to fix things when they were saying I "slack only" only a few minutes ago... ... I dare say that most of the results produce in the grp is attributed to me and the other 1 or 2 that actually does some work... ...

Anywayz... Back to the subject at hand... ...As one can see from the above I really dun hav much time on my hands...In order to giv myself more time for entertainment I even resorted to skipping Manga lessons...Well...Maybe it is because I kinda feel that drawing skills aren't something that can be taught... ...

Even so I hardly hav time to do my stuff... ...And not to mention slp... ...

So now I am currently torn between two of my fav activities...Watching Anime and Gaming... ...I hav alway been a Gamer and I STILL am...But I am oso an Otaku...(Although I'm not an Otaku as long as I am a Gamer... ...) So how? Gaming or watching Anime? And I recently started Final Fantasy XI some more... ...FINAL FANTASY LEH!!! I recently stopped FF XI for awhile to watch Anime...But I can go on like this...VANA'DIEL NEEDS ME!!!!!!! Sigh...So am I a Gamer or an Otaku? I hav alway prided myself as a Gamer...An excellent one at that... ...But now I am rapidly identifying myself as an Otaku...Wat should I do? I cant bear to giv up either one... ...

Sigh... ...

Needless to say...School work is being cleared out 1st... ...

I'm Zechs Merquise... ...?

2007-07-20T13:13:00.000+08:00

Jus did a pesonality test at guru.theotaku.com, did the Gundam Wing one...I was hoping for Heero but I got someone better... ZECHS MERQUISE!!!

For those who dun know who that is...Which is unlikey... ...I got this from Wiki... ...

"In the series Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, Zechs Merquise (ゼクス・マーキス, Zekusu Mākisu^?, taken from German sechs, lit. "six"), is a legendary Mobile Suit pilot, belonging to the OZ Faction. Renowned for his amazing skills in combat, his exploits earned him the title of the Lightning Count. A personal friend of OZ leader Treize Khushrenada, Zechs is often the commander of important missions, and receives his orders directly from Treize.

However, Zechs has a very important past. His real name is actually Milliardo Peacecraft (French 1,000,000,000 - milliard, one thousand million in long scale, one billion in short scale), heir to the former kingdom of peace, the Sanc Kingdom. After the destruction of his homeland by United Earth Sphere Alliance forces, he donned his iconic mask, and left behind the name of Peacecraft, for his new moniker, Zechs Merquise. He is also the older brother of the pacifist hero, Relena Peacecraft, and the rival of Heero Yuy throughout the show."

Go to guru.theotaku.com now! It has TONS of this kinda stuff...Gonna go try the SEED one... ...

2007-07-17T17:33:00.000+08:00

Ok...I wanted to write this a LOOONNGGG time ago but nvr got around to actually write it... But now that I hav got all the stuff needed and am feeling extra pissed today...I shall write about the fucked up Odex situation now... ...

Ok...By now all that is in the know will...well...know...that there is now a organization out there in Singapore called Anti-Video Piracy Association Singpore (AVPAS) that is taking action against ppl who DL anime...Personally I feel that the situation here is much worse compared to the states as Singapore is a pretty small...who am I kidding...Singapore is about the size of Bill Gates' bathroom, u cant even kidnap a kid without getting caught within 24 hrs...there is no where to hide and no crowd to hide in... ...

When I first heard about this I thought it was jus a scare or something...And had the "Fuck care lah...it wun happen to me" attitude...Till I saw this... ...

Yup...We're screwed... ...Not mine hor...I'm jus saying that this scared the shit outta me... ...

After wandering around the net and its various forums...it turns out that AVPAS is made up of...get this ...only Odex...lol Yup...you got that right...the ENTIRE "Anti-Video Piracy Association" is made up of only Odex, jus looking at their "Authorized Titles" and one would notice that they are ALL Anime titles...lol Anti-Video Piracy Association my as ...might as well call it Anti-Anime Piracy Association...Odex make themselves look so noble by taking upon themselves to set up this so called AVPAS to fight piracy when all they are doing is looking out for their own interests... ...

Upon inspection of their UBER long list(I wanted to count the number of titles...but after taking a second look I didnt bother...)...I noticed that they licensed EVERY SINGLE GUNDAM series...be it TV series, OVA or movies...Ha...So they are saying that we cant DL these to watch...But are they fucking sure that they will get it released here in Singapore? I dun think they even hav enought cash to buy the copyright to HALF of all the Gundam anime they listed... ...There are also repeat titles like "12 Kingdoms 十二国記" and "The Twelve Kingdoms" lol...Do they even know their anime?...Do they even know wat they are distributing here in Singapore? Are they jus trying to make the list look long to scare us or is the list jus too fucking long to keep track? I mean...jus look at the size of this list!

Many ppl were surprised that the Naruto series that is uber popular here is not on that list and felt very puzzled...But when I first noticed that Naruto was not there I immediately remembered that Naruto is licensed by Blue Max here in Singapore so even if the sales of Naruto drop it does not affect Odex (It says a lot when no one complains about Blue Max when Odex can hardly ... ...PLUS, they keep saying that they are only doing this to protect the Japanese Animation Companies they are representing...Riggghhhttt, ppl nvr ask u to take action u so bo liao go volunteer for wat? If u take a close look at the letter, u would notice that it tells the "offender" that he/she can settle the matter out of court...By "settle the matter out of court" they of course mean "HAND THE CASH OVER OR U'R GOING STRAIGHT BEHIND BARS PAL!!!" Initially I heard that the rate was 500 smackers per episode but from wat I hav heard the "settle the matter out of court" fee range 3.5 - 10 k...yup 10k... ...I wonder wat Odex gets out of all this? I bet they are getting a portion or maybe even all of the "settle the matter out of court" money... I guess thats the way they are keeping their company afloat wif sales dropping like nobody's business... ...

Ok here's wat I got from wiki... ...

In one of the sections in the page there is one labeled "Legal threats towards fansub downloaders" here is wat is written... ...

Legal threats towards fansub downloaders

As of 1 June 2007, Odex has sent letters to people downloading anime fansubs of series from Japanese companies that Odex represents. A copy of the letter may be seen here : [1]. The letter threatens legal action against its recipients. It is stated in the letter that the recipient is given a period of time to contact Odex for an out-of-court settlement, and if Odex is not contacted within the deadline, legal proceedings will be issued. It is unclear how Odex managed to obtain personal information of people that they suspect of downloading anime fansubs using Bittorrent programs, and information as to how many people have actually received such letters were withheld by Odex. However, general opinion holds that ISPs like Singnet, etc. were responsible for the disclosure of personal information.'

Of important note is that Odex apparently has the legal right to commence legal action against people downloading anime fansubs of series that they do not sell, as long as they are produced by the Japanese companies that they represent, as Odex is under AVPAS directive to curb video piracy.^{[citation needed]}

The response on anime-related online communities and forums has generally been negative, ranging from sharp criticisms of Odex's video quality and business model, to impassioned outcries for a boycott of Odex or of the anime market.

Ok... so lets inspect this piece of article...

They said that "It is unclear how Odex managed to obtain personal information of people that they suspect of downloading anime fansubs using Bittorrent programs, and information as to how many people have actually received such letters were withheld by Odex. However, general opinion holds that ISPs like Singnet, etc. were responsible for the disclosure of personal information."...So the "general opinion" is that ISPs like Singnet disclosed the "offender's" personal information...Funny that Singnet is the only one officially mentioned...Cause it is of "general opinion" that it is because Singnet disclosed our personal information that those "offenders" were caught... According to the law...if ISPs disclose our personal information...it is an infringement of privacy and these ISPs could get into trouble...So far...only Singnet users were caught... ...Hmmm...Let me think that over...Only SINGNET users were caught...Can it be that all the pirates are using Singnet to access the Internet? Cant be ...MASAKA! ("IT CANT BE!/DUN TELL ME!" in Japanese) IT SEEMS THAT SINGNET HAV BROKEN THE LAW BY DISCLOSING OUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!!!!!!! It is also pretty funny that only Singnet went ahead and disclose clients' personal information while the other ISPs hav kept quite... ...I guess it is because Singnet is practically semi-government...I say semi-government because of all the "connections" the government hav within Singnet and all the strings they hav tied onto Singnet... ...Of course...All these ain't facts... ...They are merely "general opinion" *Raises Eyebrows* ... ...

I wonder if the companies that Odex aka AVPAS is representing knows that they are using their titles to threaten ppl wif legal action... ...Come to think of it...It feels kinda wrong that Odex aka AVPAS are allowing "offenders" to "settle the matter out of court"... ...Think of it this way... Odex aka AVPAS is saying that as long as they "settle the matter out of court" by agreeing to their conditions and paying an amount of money, they will not take legal action...Meaning they will make the matter disappear... ...Isn't that like saying "I wont report to the police that u stole my wallet as long as u give me back my wallet PLUS ur wallet."...Its like a threat, it can even be viewed as extortion! If they are so righteous as to bring it upon themselves to bring the pirates to justice... Y not jus sue them straight? Maybe they are afraid that the fact that they broke our rights to privacy to obtain these evidence could be a threat to them... ...That the very law they used to "extort" from these "offenders" could also bring them down... ..

It is written that "Odex apparently has the legal right to commence legal action against people downloading anime fansubs of series that they do not sell, as long as they are produced by the Japanese companies that they represent, as Odex is under AVPAS directive to curb video piracy." I shall not pick on the fact that the word ,"apparently", which means that it is not confirm, was used... ...Ok...So they say that Odex has the right to commence legal action as it is under AVPAS directive to curb video piracy. Something sounds wrong here... ...Well...Maybe it's the fact that AVPAS CONSIST OF ONLY ODEX?!?!?! Somehow it jus sounds stupid to me... It 's like saying, "I hereby giv myself the right to arrest all Chio Bu (Beautiful Gals in Hokkien) and bring them home to be my slaves to do as I please!"

Btw...If AVPAS is the anti-piracy organization...Y does the letter say Odex Private Limited...And since when does a private company hav so much power?

"The response on anime-related online communities and forums has generally been negative, ranging from sharp criticisms of Odex's video quality and business model, to impassioned outcries for a boycott of Odex or of the anime market."

WOOT!!! AND A ROUND OF APPLUASE FOR THE ANIME LOVING COMMUNITY OF SINGAPORE PPL!!! WOOT!!!

Yup...I would like to say that this stun by Odex pretty much BACKFIRED!!!!!!!

Ppl are realizing that they cant DL Anime more, they are stopping, some are considering to buy originals and some are already buying originals... ...BUT NOT FROM ODEX!!! WOOT!!! IN UR FACE!!!

I hate it when ppl support the Odex movement...saying that all others are pirates...Saying that they are only freeloading the Anime Studio and dun reward them for their hard work...HELLO! I buy LOTS of anime realated stuff HOR! Ask any of my close friends and they can confirm that I spend more money on Anime stuff than anything else...I might not buy as much DVDs or VCDs (GOD! VCDs... ...) but I buy quuiittee a lot of figurines and posters...not to mention Manga Tankoubon... And I'm not toking about those Gashapon figurines of Comics Connection posters hor! I'm toking about original imported stuff...Those cost lots of cash hor so I AM supporting the Animation studios! Besides...like many of the pissed off Otaku out there... I rather import Anime for oversea despite paying more than buy from hateful Odex...In fact I hav quite a few ADV Films and Manga Entertainment DVDs... ...

Lots of ppl complain about the poor video and subtitle quality of Odex products...To me that is not the main issue... ...Not all fansubbed Anime are good... For example... Zero no Tsukaima presented by KuroNeko has more grammatical and/or spelling mistakes than the number of strands of hair on my head (Though I enjoyed it THROUGHLY by ignoring the lousy subs...Great vid quality thou... ...). BUT, since I am PAYING for Odex goods...I EXPECT it to hav good subs and BETTER vid quality... ... I quote from Wiki... ...

"Odex's subtitling has been criticised by fans for having an ugly font and sometimes inaccurate translations, as compared to fansubs. Reasons for the ugly font includes the limitation of VCDs as a medium. Furthermore, all of Odex's translations are done by out-house translators. Therefore, there is often limited control over the quality of these translations which are then QCed by an editor who compares the official translations against the fansub translations."

... ...WTF?! They sux because they are done by out-house translators? There is often limited control over the quality of these translation?! HEY!!! I DUN FUCKING CARE IF U TRANSLATED URSELF OR UR MOTHER TRANSLATED IT, UR FATHER, UR GRANDMOTHER, UR BEST FRIEND, UR GREAT GRAND UNCLE, UR ARCH ENEMY OR EVEN IF UR DOG DID THE TRANSLATING!!! God...In case u dun know Odex hav been using this as one of the excuses and Wiki is merely quoting them...IF I WERE TO PAY FOR A PRODUCT I EXPECT IT TO BE GOOD REGARDLESS OF THE SOURCE...Odex saying this is as stupid as a com salesman saying, "Sir, The PC u purchased is MEANT to hav a missing hard drive as when we hired the guys in China to assemble it they forgot to place the hard drives into the PCs so u hav to understand...its not our fault so u will hav to make do wif the PC without the hard drive..."

However, still it is not the lousy vid and subtitle quality that made me nvr to touch Odex or even local version of Anime series...There CONFIRM will be editing or cutting done... ...I realized that this is not Odex fault and that the fault lies wif the government of Singapore itself but it is because of this that I refuse to buy Anime from Singapore...I brought several VCDs from Odex (Last Exile, Kiddy Grade and some others), I noticed the cuts and edits and was pretty tu lan(Pissed off in hokkien). Do they hav any idea how it feels like to hav finished watching a series and then finding out that u hav yet to see all the series has to offer? That u hav missed some parts of ur fav show? That thought really pisses me off...For example...Even when ArtCentral airs Anime during midnight which is understood that it is an adult time slot...They insist on showing cut Anime (Althought I doubt they hav a choice in the matter). Ppl say that there will still be a chance that kids will watch the midnight time slot...Pls...if u take even these chances into consideration...Dun bother showing anything on TV lah since all of the shows hav a chance of influencing kids in a bad way... Wif so much mutilation done to our beloved Anime...U expect us to buy it from u?!

When I first saw Gundam SEED on KidsCentral...I noticed that there was a jump in the opening song...Meaning there is a cut somewhere in the opening...When I later saw the original opening...and saw y they cut out that part...I was shocked...It was a pink silhouette figure of a naked Lacus...She was stretching her arms or flying or both when her boobs bounce in a sexy way...That cut that out...Because of a single sexy scene they cut the opening... ...COME ON!!! IT WAS JUS A SILHOUETTE FIGURE!!! You cant even see the boobs properly...much less the nipples... ...The following openings were subjected to similar treatment or not shown at all... ...They say that it will teach the wrong things to kids...I hav see those openings... ...And I hav yet to rape a single gal (Or hav I?... ...). Seeing a silhouette of Lacus' boobs or even Cagalli's undies WONT turn kids into serial rapist...Trust me... ...I dun think even uncensored boob can do that... ...

I seriously dun see the point in all of this...They wanna turn all guys in SG into permanent virgins?

Then they say they hav to protect kids from such "obscene" images...First of all...They are FAR from obscene...U hav no idea wat obscene is until u hav seen the things I've seen... ...SECONDLY...If u think that Gundam SEED is detrimental to the psychological well being of a child...THEN DUN FUCKING AIR IT ON A KIDS CHANNEL FOR KIDS TO WATCH! Stick to ur goddamn Pokemon... ...Besides...Gundam is not meant and will NEVER be meant to be shown to kids as it is NOT a children program. I understand that on the surface it seems like a show that will be really popular to kids, wat wif the cool Mechas and all, but a look at the deep storyline tells othewise...Anyone (The ppl in KidsCentral) who say that Gundam is meant for kids CLEARLY hav not watched Gundam... ...It has so much politics going on in it that it makes Lee Kuan Yew look like he is playing SimCity wif Singapore!!! I bet that over 75% of the kids watching Gundam on KidsCentral dun even know wat is going on more than HALF the time... ...And that they are only watching the show jus to see the Mobile Suits fight! Heck, I bet half of them dun even know wat a Mobile Suit is and jus stupidly call everything they see a Gundam! They cant even appreciate the deep storyline that accompanies every Gundam series... ...PLUS! Not all the eps of Gundam SEED has fights scenes in it...Some whole eps are dedicated to explaining the politics! So HOW? Pray tell...Is Gundam SEED a children program?! Yes...it appeals to kids...But PLEASE respect the Anime and the way it is supposed to be portrayed... ...

All in all Odex sux...The censorship board sux...And the gov sux more for creating this situation... ...Lets jus wait for the Shit Storm to blow over...If it does... ...

p/s: Some Bravehearts went ahead and called and/or E-mailed the ppl at Odex aka AVPAS and asked if they would sue ppl for DLing Anime not on the list...Turns out they wont cause they CANT sue ppl for DLing Anime not on the list... ...

p/p/s: LUCKY STAR AND TENJOU TENGE ARE NOT ON THE LIST!!! GO GO GO!!!

DISCLAIMER:
I DUN HAV A SINGLE DOWNLOADED ANIME FILE ON MY COMPUTER! I GOT ALL MY ANIME FROM ODEX! PLEASE DUN RAID MY HOME!

Anime on 11 PM is (OwNinG!!!)

2007-07-14T23:36:00.000+08:00

Two days ago I was telling my sis (Celeste) about the poll ArtsCentral is currently holding and I told her that 12 MN was taking the lead by a huge margin wif 11 PM at 100+ votes and 12 MN at 3000+ votes...I then went on to show here the poll that is hosted at the ArtsCentral website hav I saw literally made me Laugh Out Loud!!! The tables hav turned...In an EXTREMELY extreme way... 12 MN still had 3000+ votes...but 11 PM had already accumulated 20,000+ VOTES!!! Lol...Tok about surprising... ...

Currently the statistics are:

11 PM 85.1% 23221

12 MN 14.9% 4054

Lol...And I was telling my sis that maybe all 3000+ (Now 4000+) votes came from the staffs at ArtsCentral...U know...To support their own decision of changing the time slot.

GO Anime on 11 PM!!!

p/s: They didnt mention that if Anime on 11 PM wins, will they be changing both the time and days of the broadcast (Original time and days of broadcast is Wed-Fri 11 PM-12 MN) or jus the time... ...If they change both the time and days...its gonna cause me some probs as Prison Break also airs on Fridays and it starts at 10:30 PM and ends at 11:30 PM so its gonna overlap AniMania by half an hour... ...Oh well... ...Lets jus see how things goes... ...

Anime on 12 MN VS Anime on 11 PM!!!

2007-07-10T00:17:00.000+08:00

I am currently watching Midnight Mania on ArtsCentral when I saw an interesting ad. Apparently ArtsCentral has FINALLY caught wind that some fans arn't happy about the change in time slot, one example would be one of my previous post.

They hav decided to host a poll to let viewers decide where AniMania should remain on 12 MN or go back to 11 PM...I respect the fact that they are trying to do this for their audiences but its a bit too late... It has been quite sometime since that changed the time slot to 12 MN...By now, most would hav adapted to the new time slot. If they reverted the time slot to the original it will only cause more problems. I for one hav already adapted to the new time slots and if they reverted to Wednesday - Friday, 11 PM - 12 MN, it would clash wif Prison Break which broad cast on Thurdays, 11:30 PM - 13:30 AM.

So I'm neutral for now, but I went to the website to vote for 11 PM for old times' sake. THe results shocked me... ... Currently its 11 PM 664 votes and 12 MN 3905 FREAKING VOTES!!! Thats 11 PM 14.5% and 12 MN 85.5%! I definitely did not expect that...I'm sure that some would prefer 12 MN because of the freedom of time they will get without AniMania taking up 11 PM - 12 MN which is a pretty popular time slot, but I was expecting a more even match than this landslide of votes for 12 MN... ...Oh well... ...

I noticed that there were other polls that I was not aware and they all yield interesting results. For example, votes show that viewer rather watch Shaman King than the uncut Japanese version of Gundam SEED...I mean...WTF?! I realize that most hardcore fans hav already watched the uncut Japanese version of Gundam SEED...but wouldn't it be nice to view something that hasn't been cut at least ONCE on Singaporean TV channels? And to think that ppl actually preferred the crappy Anime version of Shaman King to the once in a lifetime chance to hav uncut Anime broad casted on local airwaves... ...

There is the preference of Bust Angel over to the immensely popular Chrno Crusade (It is known as Chrono Crusade in most western countries, I'm impressed that they actually used the original Japanese name).

The best of all which be the "What's your favourite timebelt genre on the new Arts Central?" poll which Midnight Mania won hands down... ...Not that I am surprised... ...Its jus that I am glad to hav it being officially known that Midnight Mania is the most popular timebelt on ArtsCentral...This should show them that they NEED to respect Anime more... ...

Welcome to Vana'diel... ...

2007-07-09T23:42:00.000+08:00

Woah...Finally started playing Final Fantasy XI yesterday... ...I had actually persuaded my mom to pay for the online bills and purchased The Vana'diel Collection 2007 by last Friday but when I being patching on somewhere around 10 PM on Saturday the estimated time left to completion was around 9 hrs so I only got to play starting yesterday.

The game has been great so far. Granted, the graphics is not as good as it can be but if you view it as a PS 2 game that it originally was, it was acceptable.

I hav yet to decide wat job I'm gonna be be its ok as it will be quite some time b4 I can change to one of the advance jobs... ...I was thinking Dragoon but people are saying its not very powerful...So its either Dragoon, Paladin or Summoner now... ...

Some of the things of the game that really impressed me is the translator and the complex trading and auction system. The prices to buy and sell in stores are constantly updated according to the supply and demand in the particular World. There are also auction houses to sell your goods at your own prices, this is when Sales History come into place where one can monitor previous sales and the amount the items were sold for, this allow the seller to set a fair price for bidders. It is the complexity of Vna'diel that makes me forget the graphical flaws... ...

p/s: I was watching The Core the other day and I was looking forward to a scene where he famous scientist guy continue his self narration even though he was about to die. He then realized wat he was doing and goes, "What the FUCK am I doing?!" and goes on to laugh while the nuke explodes... ...But when it was broad casted on Channel 5 they went straight from the self narration to the explosion. Lame...They decided to cut out that part jus because of the word fuck... ...Come on...Who the hell in Singapore doesn't know the word fuck? The kids are gonna learn it later on at school anyway... ...Goes to show how "open" our country are... ...

p/p/s: Watching The Victoria's Secret Show 2006 now...Feeling quite happy... ...

p/p/p/s: I notices recently that the more p/ses one has...the more Ps he has to add in front...Y is that so? Weird... ...

I am SO screwed... ...

2007-07-04T23:53:00.002+08:00

I previously had a Japanese assignment that required me to construct words being beginning wif some of the Japanese syllables... ...

How does this screw me over u ask?

Well...One of the syllables is Se. I wanted to write Sekai which means "World" in Japanese. However...at that time I could not remember wat the exact pronouncesation of Sekai but I do know that it starts wif Se so I wrote something that sounded very familiar, started wif Se and which I remembered WRONGLY as World in Japanese at that time. I wrote a Japanese word that I very familiar to me for reasons I shall not explain...I wrote the word Seiki...Which means Semen/Sperm in Japanese...

OH MY GOD!!! Y THE FUCK DIDNT I REMEMBER WAT SEIKI MEANS WHEN I WROTE IT DOWN!!!

GOD!!! I was so fucking shocked when I saw wat I wrote when I got the paper back today... ...

I wonder wat my sensei thought when she saw my answer... ...She did mark me correct though... ...I wonder y... ...

p/s: I really HATE ppl who put their EZ-link cards in their wallet then put their wallet in their bag then try to scan the EZ-link cards through their bag AND wallet...Women tend to do that and u know how women love carry HUGE huge hand bags...Then sometimes when they cant seem to find their EZ-link card they desperately scan every inch of their bag and STILL cant scan their fucked up cards!!! FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! TAKE UR WALLET OUT DAMN IT!!! Dun even TRY scanning from ur bag! This can be especially frustrating at MRT stations when one idiot cant seem to get through the gate and INSIST to keep on trying to scan from HER bag instead of jus taking her wallet out and saving everybody's time! I met one such person today...It took her about 15 sec before she gave up and went to the side to take her wallet out. At that time the MRT station was quite crowed so the gates were packed because she was blocking one of the exits... GOD I hate these ppl... ...

I have been sitting on this topic for awhile now but seeing as to how this thing "event" has got so fucking blown up I decided its about time I contributed my 2 cents worth... ...

Ladies and gentlemen...I am toking about the ODEX issue... ...

If u haven heard about it yet u probably hav been living under a rock for the past few months at least...

For the benefit of those who hav been living under rocks...ODEX (The Anime distributor in Singapore) have recently begun a island-wide crackdown on Anime DLers...

Whew...Today was a long and GREAT day... ...

Today...or rather yesterday...was my birthday...Even though it is my birthday, I didnt wan to create a big fuss and jus wanted to go through my Bday wif no cakes, no song, no presents and definitely no fuss...Maybe jus an Ang Bao or two... ...

So it definitely shocked me when Hong Chao "Screamed" my name through MSN at around 11 in the morning yesterday and "Shouted" ,"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!"... ...It certainly was a pleasant surprise... ...I didnt think anyone would remember...lol...I personally find dates hard to remember (Maybe thats y I always fail at History and Social Studies...)...I doubt I can even recall 5 birthday dates...lol... ...HC certainly made my day... ...

I went through the rest of the sch day quite quietly as I did not inform any of my classmates it was my birthday...I didnt wan to become those type of ppl who go around announcing their birthdays or watever to create hype and attract attention... ...I hate those kind of ppl... ...

Sch ended at 1 PM today...YESTERDAY so I decided to do some shopping at Sunshine Plaza... ...I have been saving for quite some time and my dad gave me some "Spending Money"(To lighten my solemn mood on such a happy day he sayz... ...) so I decided to indulge myself... ...

I rushed to Sunshine to get a figurine I hav been eying for VERY long, 1 week long sia... ...

Ahhh...Rider...The greatest class of the Fate series... ...

A close up of her excellent features...heh heh... ...

As I had some extra cash from my dad's "Spending Money" I decided to buy some more figurines... ...

I struggled between a Fate/stay night 7 figurines set or a set of two figurines with children versions of Rei and Asuka... ...When I was struggling Jia Wei sms to wished me happy birthday too...lol...Another surprise... ...

In the end I decided to get the Fate/stay night set and a One Piece Nami figurine...Only after I purchased the Fate/stay night set did the guy from La Tendo told me that the two children figurines were 50% off...By that time I dun even have enough money to buy that even wif the discount... ...

Only Nami and Zoro were left...But its not like I planned to buy the others anywayz...HA!...ONLY NAMI MATTERS!!!!!

As u can see...some boxes are missing as I bought an incomplete set...There are 5 missing boxes... ...

However...I checked all the figurines I have (Not yet assembled)...I have Saber, Archer, Rider (Variant), Rin, Sakura, Ilya and even the Saber secret ver. figurine...I have search the net for wat I am missing and it seems I am only missing the normal Rider figurine... ...So... ...Wat does the other 4 boxes contain?...Not repeats I hope... ...Anywayz...I am gonna hunt down that normal Rider figurine to complete the set... ...

Headed for home soon after exhausting all my funds... ...

Today I hav new found phobia for public transport... ...All the way I have to be on high alert to keep my babies safe from harm...Especially Rider as she is quite a big figurine... ...I even went to the extent of climbing the stairs and waiting for the slow lifts jus to avoid the cram escalators... ...Anything for my babies... ...

So anywayz... ...After arriving home...I considered my day done and proceeded to bed... ...Little did I know that I was to be in for a surprise... ...

My maid handed me the phone and Jon was on the line... ...we were like... ...:

Jon: "Oi...Ni jing wan mei you chuu qu hor?" ("U not going out tonight right?" in chinese)

Me: "Mei you... ..." ("Nope... ..." in chinese)

Jon: "Wo men wan shang jou qu..." (We later at night go over..." in chinese)

Me: "Zhou se muah?" (For wat? in chinese)

Jon: "Ur birthday lah...Today ur birthday right?"

Me: "... ..." (Long Pause) "U all remembered?"

Jon: "OF COURSE LAH!...Y? Touched right!?"

Me: "Chey...Whose touched sia..."

Jon: "Touched lah"

Me: "Ya lah Ya lah"

(Hang up)

That was SO not expected... ...Haha... ...

During that time my sis (Rachel) gave me her present... ...

Chocolate Pastilles... ...My favorite flavors...White, Milk and and fav...Dark... ...

She gave me these saying she didnt know wat to get so she jus got me my favorite snacks... ...

At around 9 PM... Jon, Khin, Junyang and Hong Chao came bearing cake... ...Lol... I didnt know wat to say when I saw them...Then those bastards took the opportunity to irritate me by repeatedly saying "Dun cry lah... ..."

Jon and Hong Chao lighted the candles...Jon apparently doesnt know how to light candles... ...They spared me the birthday song on my behalf and we got straight to eating the cake... ...

The coffee (Or was it chocolate) cake... ...

Not very clear as HC's hands arent exactly steady and like he sayz...his phone resolution is not exactly that great... ...(HC holding cam)

I KNEW THEY WERE ACTING STUPID BEHIND MY BACK!!!!!!! (Jon holding cam)

As we were not exactly stuffed by that cake so we decided to order pizza from Pizza Hut... ...I guess we ordered too much as we almost couldnt finish... ...NVR am I going to Stuff Crust two large pizzas again... ...The crust itself is enough to fill our stomachs... ...Apparently...Jun Yang has a voracious appetite so we depended on him to finish it up... ...

While eating the cake and the pizzas...We enjoy brief moments of reminiscences...While HC was telling us how he stole some PSP UMD back at MI (Millennium Institute)...Jon and I got reminded of the time when Jon hid Yih Yu's wallet and I willingly went to attract the rage of Yih Yu by pretending I was the one who stole it... ...Things got so overboard that Jon did not dare to tell Yih Yu it was all a prank that he started... ...We laughed heartily when we toked about the one who united our class...Preeta... ...And when we got so bloated because of the pizza...Jon remembered the time when he and I almost choked to death competing who could finish a bowl of $2 won ton mee first... ...Ah... ...Those were the dayz... ...3E4 and 4E4... ...

Another big topic was exchanging wat we knew of wat happened to the others in the class... ...The memories it brought back... ...ARGGHHH!!! I WANNA BE LIKE PETER PAN!!!!!!!

HC then set up my PS 2 to hav a game of Naruto... ...We had fun while it was obvious we had all deproved considerably...Especially me as I had the most to deproved while the others werent all that good to begin wif...haha... ...

I did not force Jon to stay behind for rematches this time when he won... ...But I MUST say...I was using Sakura at the time so I was at an OBVIOUS disadvantage...And I wasnt exactly playing seriously... ..So... ...Ha...I "Fang sui de loh... ..."("Let out water... ..." in chinese which in turn means "Give chance")

After they all left (Which was around this time)...my Father wanted to wake up the entire family so we could cut cake together... ...Lol...My sisters were already asleep at that time...He then said that he wanted us to celebrate my Bday together and that my sisters were pretty excited... ...Lol...I didnt know all this...So I felt kinda guilty and sad... ...Haiz... ...Gotta find some way to repay their kindness... ...

My mom then came down to give me an Ang Bao as she said that she didnt know wat to buy and was afraid I would not like wat she bought... ...She then commented that it is difficult to buy presents for children our age as they dun know wat we want... ...I couldnt help but nod in agreement... ...Feel guilty from depriving my family of the cake cutting and that I hav already received "Spending Money" from my dad earlier that morning... ...I told her that it was not necessary and that if she insists, jus put it in my bank acc... ...She was like, "Ni bu yao mai tong se ah?" ("Dun u wanna buy something?" in chinese). That was kinda unexpected as my mom rarely encourages me to spend money... ...I insisted that I dun wanna spend that amount of money and asked her to jus transfer it to my bank acc but she insisted I hold on to the money and think about it... ...That was STRANGE... ...I think my parents feel that I am an unhappy child because I look pretty serious nowadayz... ...Haven they considered the fact that I may hav grown up?

I wonder how much is inside... ...

I returned to my room to slp...Thinking that all the excitement is over...Then I saw a small package wrapped in Comics Connection plastic bag... ...

Wats this?

A random Eva figurine!

Key chains os Squall's Gunblade and Tidus' Brotherhood!

Woot! I got Katsuragi Misato! I hav been wanting a figurine of her!

I am guessing these are brought by my sis (Celeste)... ...Gotta thank her tml... ...

Ha...That concludes my day... ...Gotta slp... ...I hope our plans to go watch "At Worlds End" on thursday goes through... ...

p/s: Jon they all took some bo liao pics with one of my digital cams... ...After I take a look at them I might wanna post them!

N.H.K ni Youkoso... ...

2007-05-27T06:53:00.000+08:00

Just finished the last few episodes of Welcome to the N.H.K...One word..."Wonderful"... ...There is not much I can say about and even if I do elaborate on what the show is like... It most probably won't be able to stress how wonderful an Anime it is... All I can say is that it is not like anything I have ever seen...Yet it is familiar in a way... ...

It started out as a comedy...A great one at that (Not that all would agree) ... ...But slowly but surely it evolved...And before it knew it...It developed into a love story...Again...a great one... ...

If I were to compared it to another Anime/Manga...I would say it is most like Love Hina...The way the comedy turns in to romance...But again...It would be very wrong to say that Welcome to the N.H.K is like Love Hina... ...One reason is N.H.K's lack in the harem element...But the main and most important is that N.H.K is much more subtle in the love element at the beginning compared to Love Hina...Unlike Love Hina, where on the first few pages/episodes one can tell Keitaro has a thing for Naru, there was close to no clue that Satou was to end up with Misaki-Chan in the end...In fact there were several times I thought Satou was to live happily ever after with his Senpai (Hitomi) ... ...It is because of the subtle factor of N.H.K and its lack of "Crazy-Explode-In-Your-Face-Happiness", like in Love Hina, that makes it triumph over Love Hina, another great love story.

The thing that got me hooked to N.H.K in the first place was its comedy...To me it was not just the conversations and events that were hilarious...The atmosphere that Gonzo creates in N.H.K played a huge part to the overall effectiveness of the comedic factor of N.H.K...The animated background they set up paired up with the background music...Give it a serious yet nonsensical feel to it...The atmosphere coupled together with the hilarious dialogs of the characters gave it this special feel to it...They way seriousness is mixed with hilariousness just sort of multiplied the overall success of the comedic factor... ...

I realized that not everyone appreciates the kind of comedy that is portrayed in N.H.K, some don't even find it funny at all... ...The only possible reason I can think of is that they are not an/a Otaku/Hikkikomori enough to understand what the show is trying to put across... ...It certainly helps to be an/a Otaku/Hikkikomori to understand these Otaku/Hikkikomori caricatures... ...

What moved me most is of course the romance factor of the series... ...The way Misaki-Chan feel towards Satou and how she came to like him (No spoilers here...Go watch yourself!) and there is also the way Satou came to realize his feelings for Misaki-Chan (No spoilers) ... ...

I have decided to give a 9/10. A more accurate score would be 97/100...But I am reluctant to give it 10/10 because of two reasons... ...

1. Giving it 10/10 would mean that it is better than my favorite Anime: Neon Genesis Evangelion... ...However, after much thought...I felt that it was hard to say I can't give N.H.K 10/10 because of Evangelion as they were completely different...It is true that they are both Anime...But they are of different genres and it would be unfair to downgrade N.H.K because of Evangelion.

2. I still decided to give it 9/10 as I hope, though I have my doubts, that one day...there will be another series (in the distant future) that will come along and show me that it can beat N.H.K in its genre... ...I have decided long ago that I will (mostly likely) never ever give an Anime 10/10 as I would only give that score to a perfect Anime... ...To me...There will never be a perfect Anime series, perfection can never be attained and the word "perfect" should never be taken or used lightly... ...Anime is an ever changing and ever improving art form, while it will always strive for perfection, perfection itself does not exist... ...Thus we can expect Anime to improve limitlessly... ...

I contemplated giving N.H.K 99/100...But in the end I felt that 99/100 is still too good to be true...Ha... ...

My only regret is that N.H.K ended so quickly... ...But I suppose it is also because of how short it was that it made such an impact on me... ...Kinda like a fleeting dream... ...

Oh well... ...I am currently collecting the manga series so it won't end yet... ...Ha... ...

N.H.K ni Youkoso!: Comedy, Slice of life, Psychological, Drama and Romance, all rolled into one... ...

Nihon Hitojichi Koukan-kai...BANZAI!!!!!!!

EVA!EVA!EVA!!!REI!REI!REI!!!

2007-05-09T23:59:00.000+08:00

Had my first manga lesson today... ...It was pretty boring again... ...Cause it was the basics....But that is not to say that I can even grasp the basic...Lol

But the highlight of the lesson was not the stuff one gets to learn...The highlight was the teacher teaching the lessons...She is a Japanese manga artist by the name of Junko...She is a cute looking Japanese lady...Very cute...The only prob is that she cant speak English well...or at all... ...

I went down to meet my plastic modeling friends immediately after manga class and the first thing they said was, "Was ur teacher chio?"

It seems that word had already gone round that the manga instructor is a cute gal(?) or should I say women? I dun know...She looks too petite to be called a woman...Seems more right to call her a gal... ...

I did not get it when they first ask, "Was ur teacher chio?" As I did not know that they hav heard that my teacher was a Japanese lady as they were not even in the manga department... ...
When Shane(Plastic Modeling Instructor) walked pass I thought he was either gonna ask them to stop saying stuff like that or say nothing at all... ...

I say this as I hav the impression that he is a guy that has a lot of respect for others...For example...His caption in the SPLA(Singapore Polytechnic Life Arts) forum says, "Appeciate Anime as a form of Art, not as a means to satisfy your sexual fastasies."(I know...Spelling error...I was not the one who typed it wat...)

Then he asked me, "How tall was she?"

I said around my shoulder height.

And he was like, "That ok wat... ..."

It does not seem much...But it is still "grading" her in a way... ...

Lol...Typical...A cute Japanese "gal" comes to school and all the guys go nuts... ...

Based on the SMS I have exchanged wif both Jia Wei and Derick...It did not seem possible that we can meet up as Derick said that he was only reaching SG at Saturday night...And Jia Wei is not free at Saturday night or Sunday because of Mother's day and all that... ...But later Derick called to say that he has changed plans and will be back on Friday! This way...everything is perfect...I cant wait to watch the Eva movies...But this does mean that I will miss one day of plastic modeling... ...Oh well...Derick doesnt come back often...So...Anything for a friend right?

Screening of Neon Genesis Evangelion

2007-05-08T23:45:00.000+08:00

Today Poly ended at 1pm so I decided to take the time to go down to Sunshine Plaza to collect the Genshiken Complete DVD Collection that I ordered... ...

When I went down there I saw that Jerry(The owner of Ani-Play) was not around...Instead it was some lady...So I approached her about the DVDs... ...

The shop was FILLED wif cardboard boxes FILLED with anime goodies as a shipment of anime goods jus arrived from overseas to Ani-Play... ...

The lady was having a hard time finding my Genshiken Collection among the mountain of anime goodies but I remained patient...And quietly waited for my DVDs... ...

The lady when on to make several calls to Jerry...I then took the chance to ask her if Ani-Play imports Evangelion DVDs...As she was busy attending the call...She waved me off (In a polite manner). So I continued waiting... ...

Alas...She told me that she could not find it and asked if I could return another day... ...

Disappointed...I lowered my head in a dejected manner and turned around...preparing to head for home... ...Then...Suddenly she said, "But we do have these... ..."

I turned around and saw her smiling ,waving in her hands the Neon Genesis Evangelion Platinum Complete DVD Collection and "Death and Rebirth" and "The End of Evangelion" Double DVD Special Edition Pack!!! At that moment...I thought I heard angels singing "Hallelujah"... ...I decided to buy the Eva movies and I hav already watched the series and I dun plan to settle for Platinum Complete Collection...I want only the BEST of Eva and that is the individual Platinum Collection... ...

I was overwhelmed by the fact that I hav finally got my hands on The End of Evangelion... ...I wanted to go straight home and watch the whole movie... ...Then I remember an ignorant friend of mine that hav yet to have a taste of the GREATEST ANIME ON THE FACE OF THE GREAT MOTHER PLANET OF EARTH!!!

Ya I know can see me...The box very shiny... ...

The back of the box...Heh... ...

I immediately SMSed Jia Wei to see if I can get him to watch it with me on the weekends... ...

I decided not the watch the movies first as I wanted to share the experience wif Jia Wei...I did not even want to unwrap the packaging to take a look at the extra stuff...Cause...I wanted to share the experience... ...

Jus when I thought thing could not get better... ...Derick SMSed me when I reached home to tell me that HE WILL BE COMING BACK ON SATURDAY!!! WOOT!!! Perfect timing!!! Derick watched the Eva series b4 and he should be able to enjoy the show too...I cant wait... ...

2nd Japanese Lesson... ...

2007-05-04T23:58:00.000+08:00

I had my second Japanese class today... ...I did not post about my first class as it was pretty boring and all the stuff that my lecturers taught was basically jus the basics... ...Come to think of it...Only the basics were taught today too... ...But still it was kinda interesting compared to the first lesson... ...

My Japanese lecturer is a cheerful Japanese lady by the name of Mariko... ...I was not assigned this lecturer at first...I was previously assigned a Singaporean lecturer...When I first found out that I was assigned a Singaporean lecturer, I was like, "WTF! No way in HELL am I gonna let that QUACK teach me Jap!" So I went to all the heads of the language dept to cook up some story in order to land myself wif the best Japanese lecturer... ...I figured that Mariko-Sensei is the best Jap lecturer in our sch as I saw that all the advance classes were taught by her... ...So I went to look for her AND the head of the language department...And fed them this story... ...

Me:"I cant go on Wednesdays cause I have CCA on that day and it clashes wif the language class...It overlaps by HALF AN HOUR!!! U NOE?! Plus I paid for both courses liao leh... ..." (Most of it is true...Expect for the fact that the classes dun overlap AT ALL...I jus said that to make me seem more pitiful... ...)

Them: "Then cant u go to the other days as Friday is quite full... ...How about Tuesday?"

Me: "I cant go on Tuesdays as my timetable for that day is VERY full...so I wont be able to make it in time for Japanese class... ..." (Total BS...Tuesday I only got 2-3 hrs of class...My classes end at 1 PM on Tuesdays PLUS, ALL classes end at 5 PM, ALL Jap lessons start at 5:30 PM so it is IMPOSSIBLE for ANYONE to be late... ...I told them that my classes end on 6 PM on Tuesdays and they jus ate it up... ...)

... ...

I then come up wif a reason for every other day till we arrive on Friday...Which is the day that only Mariko-Sensei is teaching... ...I then fed them second servings of BS till they became tired and let me transfer... ...Heh...Leonard is one to get wat he wants... ...

Anywayz...Today was pretty (Still) boring as she was teaching numbers in Jap... ...Which is something u can pick up by urself by watching anime regularly... ...But the way she teaches was pretty commendable ...She shows these slides wif the hiragana of the number, the romanji , the english version and then a picture to help ppl to remember the word. The pic were pretty funny, for example, ni (2) is represented by a pic of a knee, san (3) is represented by a sun and ichi (1) is represented by a pic of a foof wif a bug crawling on it wif the caption "ITCHY!" lol... When she was teaching bigger numbers she would go ,"Ni x Juu + Ni=Nijuuni (2x10+2=22)" Then she would ask us to multiply the knee wif the juice followed by added another knee...And she actually when to the trouble of creating slides that show a knee multiplied by a packet of juice and adding another knee...She is the the most committed lecturer I hav met since I started schooling at SP... ...They werent kidding when they say they dun care about their students... ...I mean...U even hav to pay for ur notes... ...Haiz... ...But Miss Mok is still the most committed teacher I hav EVER met of course... ...

Every Friday I will have a 2 hr 30 min break before Jap class starts so I went to the library today to watch Mobile Suit Gundam SEED... ...I was watching another Kira Yamato emo scene when I noticed that Derick PMed me on MSN... ...I of course stopped watching to chat... ...One of the stuff I asked was the accident he was supposed to be involved in... ...Apparently...His dad's car suffered a case of hydro-watever-u-call-it which is when water enters the tires of the car, how that can ever happen eludes even me...I mean...tires are supposed to be AIR TIGHT to retain air in the tires right? So how does liquid enter the tires? Derick then blamed it on the rain and asked me to ask BMW... ...(Singapore also got rain...Singapore also got BMW... ...Nvr heard of water soaked tires... ...)

Anywayz...Apparently...The car skidded out of control...Spun around...Hit the metal curb thingy and all sorts of stuff like the license plate and bumper came FLYING off... ...How the hell he got out of such an accident unscathed is beyond me... ...But I'm glad his fine... ...Because of this accident he obviously couldnt come over to Singapore to collect their stuff...So he said he will be back on a later date... ...

Also, it seems that he has officially enter a Uni wif all the stuff like lodging settled... ...Lol 17 year-old Uni student...He says that he goes back house every weekend so I was asking him how long it takes to travel from the hostel to his house...I was expecting something like 4 hrs as M'sia is a pretty big place but turns out it only takes 1 hr... ...I was thinking, "Wtf... ...I hav to handle 1 hr trips TWICE a day leh fuck...On PUBLIC transport some more... ..." Haiz... ...Uni liao sia he...So fast...Graduate liao find job here want?

This is about all that we talked about though...As he came online at 5:15 PM which is 15 min before Jap lesson starts...Wished we had more time to chat... ...

Sianz...Tml still have to reach sch by 9 for club activities... Fuck sia...Hav to wake up at 7 AM during ALL Saturdays... ...Oh well...I will be slping the day away anywayz... ...Might as well be working on my Gundam... ...(But still...Waking up at 7 AM on a weekend is a bit extreme... ...)

p/s: YES! I got a sms from Ani-Play that the Genshiken Complete DVD set I ordered hav finally arrived!!! Will most probably be collecting on Sunday... ...

AMG

2007-04-26T23:59:00.000+08:00

AMG... ...The Annual Gather of Members and/or All Members Meeting of my club... ...Went today...It was a pretty boring event as they were all mixing within their own departments...And the Plamo(Plastic Modeling) department that I belong to is a pretty small group...Plus...Half of them did not turn up for the event.. ...Lol...And all they ever tok about is Gundam which I am not as enthusiastic about as they are... ...

At the meet...I found out that I was the ONLY one that joined both the Manga and Plamo departments... ...For the first time I saw members from the manga department...Lots of girls...And I do mean LOTS! They were sitting in a group reading manga...I saw Absolute Boyfriend...Shoujo manga...Figures... ...

Anywayz...It was not a COMPLETE waste of time though...They were screening several anime on various laptops...Then I noticed "Welcome to the N.H.K" and I found out that the series has already ended...I read one vol of the manga and I kinda liked it so I requested to copy the fansubs into my iPod... ...The senior who owned the laptop told me to feel free to copy watever I wanted...I saw "Gundam SEED Stargazer" so I copied it for fun...Then I saw "Inukami!"...The anime that Andrew was jus telling me on MSN earlier that morning... ...So I copied that too...I hav watched only the first few episodes and already I am HOOKED...Damn nice...The core storyline is VERY similar to Zero's Familiar but there is one BIG difference... ...Inukami! is EXTREMELY ecchi...And its ecchiness is not only restricted to compromising the gals...It also compromises the guys... ...Thats wat make it so damn funny... ...

While I was browsing through my senior's anime collection... ...I saw something that shocked me... ...Among other animes like Inukami! and Welcome to the N.H.K...There was a folder named..."Hentai"... ...It is too be expected that he own some of these... ...But to place it out in board daylight for all to see is either extremely brave or totally nuts... ...I mean...He placed it together wif all his other stuff...And he did not even bother hiding or even burying(Hide them under tons of sub directories) his collection... ...

I ,of course ,could not resist the temptation to take a peek... ...So I waited till no one was looking and opened the folder... ...Haiz...boy was I disappointed...It was a PRETTY small collection... ...I dunno if those were all he had...But if it was...Mine dwarfs it...LITERALLY... ...

p/s: Maybe shouldnt hav said some of these stuff...But...oh well... ...

Weight Issues... ...Lolz... ...

2007-04-22T23:32:00.000+08:00

Went out wif my family today... ...

My family went to Orchard to find a pair of posh white shoes for my youngest sister to wear to this Choir thingy which is during SYF (Singapore Youth Festival)... ...I went to Borders at Wheelock Place to check out some manga... ...

Got bored at Border's pathetic range of manga and decided to go up to my dad's office at Orchard to slack... ...

Went to use his com in his office when I noticed a weighting scale in his office...Curious at how much I weight now... ...I went up to measure my weight... Then I saw that I lost...Get this...9 FREAKING KG!!! OMG!!! I blurted out ,"WTF?!"and my dad was like ,"HUH?! Wat happened?! Did something happen?!"... ...

I wonder how the fuck did that happen... ...I mean...The females of my family and SLAVING away at the gym and keep complaining that they cant even shed 1 kg and here I am...Slping and gaming everyday and I lose 9 kg... ...

When I told Jia Wei and he was like ,"Wow! But u dun look any different leh... ..." Yup...I was surprised too...I mean...I still eat as much as before...And I dun think I look any different... ...And most of all...I hav nvr been to the gym... ...

I guess it is probably due to my extreme gaming habit during the holidays... ...I choing all day and then I fall asleep all day...Skipping all my meals... ...Yup...That must be it... ...HA HA!!! Who needs gym equipments?! All u need is a PS 2, a com and lots and LOTS of caffeine...Btw...Here is a tip...Tea has more caffeine then coffee... ...

AH! The PlayStation 2!!! The perfect workout machine...It trains all 3,294 muscles (Fake value) in all ur ten fingers!!! Get one NOW for the body of ur dreams!!!

Above product may have varied results

Lol...Guess Anston can now stop that joke he has been running since sec 3 about me being 75 kg ... ...

New Waters... ...

2007-04-21T23:32:00.000+08:00

and Went to Sunshine wif Jia Wei today...Went being determined to purchase Jungle Emi Army Ver.... ...But La Tendo's(One of the shops in Sunshine) last piece of Jungle Emi was sold out... I was lke SHIT! Jia Wei should not have stopped me from buying it the other time along wif the tenth anniversary edition of ReiAsuka... ...CRAP!!! I REALLY WANTED THAT HOT JUNGLE EMI ARMY VER.!!!!! All that was left was the normal version of Jungle Emi...Shit lah...I am NVR listening to Jia Wei EVER again...HE said that he was helping me "save" money...Riiggghhhtttt...I was gonna use that sum of money to buy Emi anywayz... ...A lot of help turned out to be... ...

So...Anywayz...About the new waters thingy... ...I jus brought my first US published manga from Ani-Play(Another shop in Sunshine)....Genshiken!

Vol 1 and 2 of Genshiken...Dunno whether wanna unwrap vol 1 cause I read it b4...Wanted to buy all the way to vol 4 or 5 but only one copy of vol 3 was available and the condition was not exactly fantastic... ...

I got my first issue of NewType too...It was a VERY old issue that was published 3 years ago...

I buy NewType mags based on their all important centerfolds and in this issue that I brought...This is the centerfold... ...

Yup...Its Rei...Unit 01 was beside her but I cant be bothered to take a pic of it...All the Units were behind this centerfold but I also cant be bothered to take a pic of them... ...ALL THAT MATTERS IS REI!!!

I was walking around Sunshine...Feeling kinda dejected from the lost of Emi when I saw something that I recently saw on the internet...I wanted that figurine but didnt think that it would arrive in Singapore... ...The moment I saw it in La Tendo I immediately purchased it... ...

Heh heh...Rei again... ...

One of these days Rei is gonna cause me to go bust... ...EVERY time I see her product I jus wanna buy it...Be it a figurine or a poster. I am usually very picky when it comes to buying figurines... ...I note the quality of the figurine plus the condition of the box plus that of the figurine itself...But when it comes to Rei figurines... ...I jus give it more priority...It might not be a very good figurine... ...But I will consider buying it anyway... ...Haiz... ...

I remember there was once when I was toking to Anston about Neon Genesis Evangelion(He calls it the "Flexible Gundams"...Dotz...), and I mentioned that I like Rei a lot(He preferred Asuka...Pui!)...I then told him that Rei was partly constructed out of Yui's(Shinji's mom) DNA...So that kinda makes her the clone of Shinji's mom...The then went on to say that I have a Mother Complex...He did not use the term Mother Complex...As his vocab isnt exactly up to standard... ...He jus kept saying that I like someone else mom... ...

*Rolls Eyes*

Watever...Not my mom can liao lol... ...Shinji have mom also need a dad right? Heh... ...

While purchasing Rei I also decided to become a lifetime member of La Tendo...Caused me a BOMB! But I guess its worth it as they stock some of the best figurines and I intend to fill my room wif them... ...

FUCK!!!I missed the 12 MN limit!!! Shit...now today's post is gonna be under tml's post...I hate this kinda thing... ...Fuck lah...Was too busy doing stuff that I lost track of time... ...Fuck...I almost made it one loh...If not because of my faulty internet connection... ...

*Smirks*

Wats this?... ...Post Option... ...Post time and date...LOL...4/20/07, 11:59 PM GAO TIM (Settle in a chinese dialect)...Wish I knew of this option earlier lol... ...

Ok...Now that the date issue is settled... ...Back to the main prob... ...

I mentioned this thing called Self-Cert in my previous posts but hav not really explained myself yet... ...

First of all is that SP has this notebook scheme that makes it compulsory for ALL freshmen to own a notebook(Cool huh?)... ...U can either buy from the sch or buy ur own one outside... ...Buying from the school is of course cheaper but there are only two brands, Acer and Fujitsu, up for sale at SP... ...Not wanting my choice of notebook to be limited (And because I did not particularly care about the student discount...Not that I need it... ...) I decided to purchase a laptop from outside the school... ...Wat I didnt know was that if u buy from outside vendors...U hav to go for this 5 hr thingy that installs about 15 GB worth of software and stuff into ur laptop...If u brought it from the sch...The laptop comes pre-installed wif these softwares... ...That was when our problems began... ...

Cheng Wai and I did not purchase our notebooks from the sch so we decided to meet up to do the Self-Cert together... ...The Self-Cert involves reformatting one's laptop to fit the Windows XP professional OS...They do not accept ANY other OSes...Not even diff versions of XP like XP Media Center Edition like mine was...Cheng, being the lucky bastard that he is, already uses XP professional and could skip the 1 hr 30 min step of reformatting and installing XP... ...So he got a significant head start...And because they reformatted my com...I had to reinstall ALL my drivers in order to hav my com running properly again... ...

And because of the sch's FUCKED up internet connection...It took me more than one and a half hours to DL the wireless driver and because the driver cant work without the driver I can set the config of the wireless to enter the sch's wireless thingy which further set things back... ...I was using a LAN cable to connect to the internet at that time btw... ...

We felt kinda out of place at that time as we looked like the only ones who were hard at work to self-cert our notebooks...Everybody else were doing their own stuff... ...Some were watching show...some playing games and some even slping... ...Cheng Wai said that by their looks...He thinks that they have given up....And that it wont be long b4 we join them... ...We were laughing at our own expense when we notice this couple that didnt seem to be doing anything... ...They were not slping...playing...or watching anything... ...They were jus sitting together and staring at the screen of the gal's laptop... ...

Then we saw the problem... ...The gal's laptop was a mac! LOL!!! Nice one...Trying to install XP on a mac...Conform got prob one lah... ...Cheng was like laughing all the way and saying that they were praying to the mac laptop to work... ...lol...

After seeing this we seemed to hav gained some confidence in ourselves to chiong finish the farking self-cert after laughing at the demise of others... ...

Lol...Glad we finished it...Wonder how that gal is doing now... ...

Accepting Myself For Who I Am... ...

2007-04-20T11:22:00.001+08:00

Yesterday went to SP library wif Cheng they all...I absolutely LOVE SP's library... It has air-con...wireless...DVD for loan and even manga is out for loan... It is the only thing I actually like or even find acceptable in this shit hole of a school...The library is about the only thing in SP that actually impresses me... ...

Anywayz... ...I made a GREAT find at the comics section of the school's main library... ...I found a manga that may well change my way of life... ...

Genshiken: The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture

The Otaku community of Japan is often played on and made fun of in manga...But finally I hav found a manga that accuratly describes the community without making fun of it...Well...Not THAT much fun anyway... ...

The manga mainly revolves a budding Otaku named Sasahara Kanji...He is an all rounder wif no particular "favorite" Otaku activity like cosplaying, playing fight games or reading manga...He is kinda interested in all aspects of the Otaku lifestyle... ...However, he has yet to accept himself for who he really is(An Otaku) because he views himself as normal and society does not consider Otaku to be normal... ...

He joins a college club called "The Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture" or "Genshiken" for short out of interest in manga and anime... ...However, after only spending a short amount of time wif the members of Genshiken, he decides that he is unable to fit in wif the rest of the Otaku as he is not as hardcore or extreme as they are... ...Fortunately...A fellow freshman(Kousaka Makoto), who is a hardcore on fight games, manages to persuade him to stay a bit longer and before long he finds himself fitting in wif the rest of them... ...It was also during his first trip to the Summer Comic Fest wif the rest of the crew that he let his true nature out... ...

After reading only the 1st vol I find myself relating to Kanji... ...And it is not jus the ,"Oh...I understand wat u mean... ..." kind of relate...It was more like the ,"I know exactly wat u mean!!!I am going through the EXACT SAME THING!!!" kind of relate... ...

I consider myself a part-time Otaku...Not because I do not want to be a full-fledged one...Jus that at the moment I do not hav much time to fuel my passion...And at my current statues as a student...I do not really hav the funds to bolster this expensive hobby... ...I do consider myself hardcore though(Considering my age and financial statues) ...If spending thousands of dollars on games and anime/manga related stuff at my age is not considered hardcore...I dun know wat is... ...But I try my best to live up to the title of "Otaku"... ...

There was this one scene in vol 1 of Genshiken that went like this... ...Kousaka Makoto(The fight game hardcore) invited Kanji to his house to play video games... ...The moment Kanji entered his apartment ,which is piled to the roof wif anime, manga and games wif game consoles lying every where AND posters covering every inch of his walls, he realized that, "What I lack is the courage to accept myself for who I am."

This scene struck a chord in me...And it was those extremely loud and low pitch types wif a resounding rumble... ...I was very shocked when I saw wat Kanji thought as it sort of awakened me...I realized that I (too) lack the courage to accept myself for who I am... ...

All this time I held back on my choice of figurines and kept my stash of posters secret jus because I was afraid of wat others would think of me...How my family would view me and how my parents would react to my hobby... ...

I forced myself to admire certain figurines from far and tucked my posters away instead of putting them up like they are supposed to jus because I was afraid how my family would react if they one day saw that my room suddenly had a collection of exotic(Not erotic ah...Mind u... ...) figurines and that my walls cant be seen anymore... ...

I hav decided! I will no longer stand for this! I will dive head first into my interest! There will be no turning back once I start! I will strive towards my goal of becoming a full-fledged Otaku!

Screw wat other ppl thinks! Or even wat my family thinks! I am SO buying Jungle Emi! I am SO putting up that (Almost) life-size poster of Rikku! I am SO putting up that poster of Ayanami Rei in a bikini!!!!!!!

I Will Find The Courage To Accept Myself For Who I Am!

Speaking of which... ...Genshiken has also convinced, or rather FORCED me to purchase manga which are published in America... ...America gets to publish lots of great manga but I hav managed to avoid buying any of them mainly because of the steep price and the fact that local Chuang Yi also has great manga for much cheaper prices... ...However...Because of Genshiken...I will hav to purchase the title from American publishers... ...

Of course it would be best if Chuang Yi also publishes Genshiken but I highly doubt they will even consider even if I went to write a petition... ...As Genshiken is an EXTREMELY accurate account of the Otaku community in Japan...It also include certain "Adults Only" references... ...I mean...Thats the way it is over there in Japan...Certain "stuff" that is deemed unacceptable here happens there... ...Of course the best case scenario would be if the government of Singapore legalizes ALL these "stuff". But this is, again, highly doubtful... ...

ARGGHH!!! FUCK THE NOTEBOOK SCHEME!!!

2007-04-16T20:01:00.000+08:00

Went to pay for my CCA fees after sch... ...Then went to turn up for the Self-Cert... I saw a half empty room and I was like..."Good...Not crazy student playing crazy goth metallic music thingy... ..." I went in and I was like...

Me: "This is the place for the Self-Cert right?"

Some-Random-Guy: "Ya..."

Me: "So...I would let to start the Self-Cert now... ..."

Some-Random-Guy: "Did u make a booking?"

Me: "No...I did it halfway the other day so I can finish it in about an hr..."

Some-Random-Guy: "If u did not book then u would hav to come back tml... ..."

Me: *Looks around* "But the place is nearly empty... ..."

Some-Random-Guy: "U hav to make a booking... ..."

Me: "The place is almost empty... ..."

Some-Random-Guy: "I cant help u... ..."

Me: "Ok...Then I am walk-in one... ..."

Some-Random-Guy: "We dun do walk in anymore... ..."

Me: (@#%@&!$^#$!!!)

I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT SP!!!... ...Except for its Life Arts Club...Woot!!!

p\s: I found out that my CCA camp haven started yet... ...I will DEFINITELY be going...To substitute that loser SPSU camp... ...Wonder if Anston will be interested...He said once that he was... ...

1st Day Of Sch... ...

2007-04-16T13:18:00.000+08:00

After nearly half a year of holiday...Sch has finally started...Was afraid that I could not wake up on time so I wok up at 6...Big mistake...My class only starts at 9... ...

Took the train to school... Took about an hour for me to get there... ...I really dread having to take the same route to sch every single day... ...

Dover MRT Station was PACKED when I arrived...Then I noticed that I was the only one to go to school alone on the first day...Everyone else was part of a group...Ah well...Always was a loner and always proud to be one... ...

Class started the same way as it does in sec sch...Not much diff...Well...There is ONE diff...and it is a BIG one...U can switch on ur laptop and use it in front of ur teacher ad nobody says anything...I even tried playing DotA during class...The teacher didnt notice and the other student did not say anything as some of them are also surfing the net or chatting online... ...Lol...There goes my days as the hibernating polar bear of the class... ...From the wayz things look now...I will hav activities of my own during class and I wont hav time to slp... ...

Chatted wif Jia Wei on MSN during class... Found out that he did not hav to go to sch today...Lucky bastard...He has all the best time slot for everything... His average time of arrival at NYP is around 12 NN...While mine is 9 AM...I mean...EVERY poly should hav a average sch arrival time of 12 NN...There is only 5 polys...They yhing everybody live near by like in a sec sch ah? NB...Lim Bei live at Serangoon Gardens leh...U think the traveling time and cost is a joke is it... ...?

About the slping thing...Although I cant hibernate during classes due to my attention being preoccupied by my laptop...I can slp during lectures though...Laptops arent allowed during lectures so...Yeah...Guess I would be using that time to catch up on slp lost from the FUCKING LONG TRAIN RIDE!!!

Found out that I will be taking accounts...Ya...Jus found out...I really went into this course blind...Dunno wat possessed me to choose this course... ...Oh well...Alls well...Ends well...

Went I heard that I would be taking accounts...I was quite pissed...truth be told...I mean...I spent two fucked up years stuck wif a cow learning A. Maths and it turned out to be a TOTAL waste...Now I hav to take PoA while some of them had already mastered (So to speak) the subject... ...Now that I think about it... ...PoA is really more relevant to a person's working life than A. Maths...I mean...PoA teaches accounting that I used in ALL businesses while A. Maths teaches logarithm which pretty much do squat... ...Seriously...I cant understand why the smarter students (Like moi) are chosen to learn a worthless subject like A. Maths while the less academic ones do PoA... ..Watever... ...

Now having recess...Bo Liao so go library rant a little... ...Some might hav noticed that my rants hav quieten and slowed down a bit... ...Thats cause at home internet got some prob so no mood to post blog...And recently busy wif sch and stuff...But as soon as the internet is fixed...Should go back to my usual pace of ranting... ...

Sianz..After sch still hav to settle the issue of Self-Certifying my notebook... ...

I'm Sephiroth... ...?

2007-04-15T16:32:00.000+08:00

WOOT!WOOT!WOOT! I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW I HAD IT IN ME!!!

Whew...Lucky not some gay guy like Vaan or Zidane

SPSU sucks...TO THE CORE!!!

2007-04-14T00:30:00.000+08:00

ARGGGHHH!!!!!!!

I am NVR listening to Anston's advice...I can still remember it like it was yesterday... ...

Anston: "Oi! Go the camp lah...We both go turn SP upside down together!"

Me: "Sianz...Ma Fan (Troublesome in chinese) leh...Hav to pack and all that...And only u and I go conform boring one lah... ..."

Anston: "U at home got things to do meh? Jus go lah... For fun... ..."

Me: "I still got some games to complete...And go to camp wif a bunch of strangers fun meh?"

Anston: "Come on lah... ..."

Me: "ON LAH!!!"

*Slaps forehead*

I dunno wat took over me at that time... The SPSU (Singapore Polytechnic Student Union) camp SUXED!!!

OH MY GOD!!!

Ok...Let me giv u guys an idea...I joined the Boys' Brigade at Sec 1 and I stayed all the way to Sec 4 I hav been to the WORST camps...and I hav been to quite good camps...Yet...This is the FIRST camp that made me feel like leaving only 3 hrs into the camp... ...Sayz a DAMN LOT about the quality of the camp... ...In the end we did manage to leave the camp...But that we shall leave it to later on...Now...On to the rantings... ...

Fucked Up Hierarchy System:
They have the so called "Hierechy" system within the camp and the SPSU...They have "ranks" ranging from camp chief to...Get this...Photographer...lol...I'm not joking...There is a rank called photographer...Now here comes the lame part...We hav to GREET them whenever we see them... ...Even if they just happen to walk by we oso hav to greet them...Some even "order" us to do some funny action while greeting them... ...Those ASSHOLES keep cycling around the school in circles resulting in us greeting them multiple times in a single minute!!! Thats not all...They insist us on greeting time in order of the hierarchy system...AND if there are ten of them present...We hav to greet ALL of them...In ORDER!!! OI!!! LIM BEI NO TIME TO GO REMEMBER UR MAKE BELIEVE PARLIAMENT RANKS HOR!!! Chee Bye...The worst part is during meal times... ...Every "Parliament Member" will be there during a meal and we hav to greet EVERY SINGLE ONE of them IN ORDER... ...To get to eat a 40 cent Da Bao (Takeaway in one of the dialects) meal... ...I mean...Who The FUCK do they think they are?!?!?! They are but fellow students...In terms of authority...They are equals to us...In terms of seniority...They are but 1 or 2 years older than us...Being 1 or 2 years our senior do not warrant such demand of "Respect"... ...When confronted about their controversial treatment of fellow students...They cited that they "Took time out of their own holiday" and "Only wanted some respect back"...First things first...U chose to use ur own holiday...U not happy about it then dun take time out of ur holiday...And...For such a "HUGE" sacrifice...U did not do a good job on wat u sacrificed ur holiday for...Meaning...Ur camp suxed BAD...Secondly...Respect is EARNED...Not DEMANDED by treating ur juniors like DOGS!!! Hierarchy my ASS!!!

"Fun" Camp Games:
Lol...They had the balls to say that their camp is the one wif most fun... Riigghhhttt...All they fucking did was play stupid clapping games and singing lame camp songs... ...Even when we went to West Coast Park for station games...It was typical "bonding" games like spider web (Stand in a line and go though a web while holding hands)...Nothing new... They also supplement fun games wif lots of lame activities like making up cheers...In order to drag time and make their camp seem "fuller" they require our group to make about 2-3 cheers every station we go in the camp... ...

Aliases:
Every camp admin uses a alias...No real names...Lame names range from Mr. FHM (I know...Act funny right?) to Alex, Sam and Clover of Totally Spies... ...Lameville.

Masquerading As A Fun Camp:
B4 the camp started...They claimed that their camp is the most fun one of all...Which I hav proven above to be false...Another thing I scoff at is their attempt to make it a "Knight" themed camp... Before camp started... ...They said that it was a "Knight" themed camp wif "Knightly" stuff...No such thing (As far as I'm concerned anywayz...I only stayed for a few hrs before leaving)... ...The only thing that is even remotely related to Knights is my group's name which is Camelot...All the other groups hav non-knight names like ...Get this... Abalone...Yeah...I know...-_- right?

The Escape:
There was this 22 yr old guy in our group...Anston and I thought...If we were bored outta our minds...How about this guy? We found out that within 5 hrs into the camp...He had already requested to withdraw from the camp...He was no nonsense, I-Want-To-Leave-Means-I-Want-To-Leave kinda guy...He got the ball rolling and after speaking wif this guy...We started our own escape... ...

4 VS. 1:
When we told them that we wanted to leave...They did wat we expected be dragging us to a corner any try to tok us into staying...Anston kept quite all the way and I pretty much did all the toking...And there were 4 of them so it was 4 VS. 1... ...Anston kept so quite that they though I was trying to drag him along in my "escape"... ...Here are some snippets of the extremely long conversation... ...

Movie Thingy:
Guy A: "Since u paid for the camp liao then stay lah..."

Me: "No thanks...I rather not waste my time any futher..."

Gal A: "How u know the rest of the camp is not fun if u dun stay through out?"

Me: (-_-) "If I stay through out and find out that it still suxed then it will be too late to save any time right?"

Guy A: "U are like someone that decided not to watch a movie after purchasing the ticket..."

Me: "Since u want to put it this way...I say that I am someone who read a review about a good movie but it turned out that the movie was not as good as the review stated... ..."

Guy B: "So u are saying that it is our fault and that we wrote about our camp is false lah?"

Me: "Exactly my point... ..."

Gal A: "Then how u know the movie is not nice if u did not watch it?"

Me: "Ok then...Say I watch 15 minutes of the show and decided that it was a waste of my time and opted to leave before the movie finished... ..."

Gal A: "Then how u know the rest of the movie is not nice if u had not seen it?"

Me: "Based on my impression of the first 15 minutes...I highly doubt that the rest of the movie could be any more entertaining... ..."

Guy B: "So u telling me that u will go watch a movie and if not nice u will leave halfway?"

Me: "Yes... ..."

Guy B: "U would waste that $9.50?"

Me: "Yes... ..."

Guy B: *Chuckles* "I dun believe...Most ppl will jus watch the whole movie... ..."

Me: "I'm not like most ppl...$9.50 is nothing to me... ..."

Guy B: *Stops Chuckling*

The Persuasion:
Guy A: "Y dun u guys jus stay one night and then tml u tell me if u guys still find the camp boring?"

Me: "No thanks...I hav seen this trick b4...I dun want to drag any futher... And I not interested to see if the rest of the camp is interesting as I know it will not suit me... ..."

The Desperation And Fustration(Theirs...Not mine...):

Guy B: "U say u guys from BB is it? I cant see that u ppl are from BB...U dun even hav the discipline to stay through out one camp... ..."

Me: "HEY! U cant use the fact that we are ex-BB boys to pin the blame of us leaving early on us...Nothing changes the fact that ur camp is bori-"

Guy B: "U see? U dun even hav the discipline to not cut into my sentence... ..."

Me: (WTF?! Who is cutting whoes sentence?!) "U cant use the fact that we are ex-BB boys to insult...We are leaving whether u lke it or not... ..."

Guy B: "U see? U dun even hav the discipline to not cut into my sentence... ..."

Me: (The guy's a broken record... ...)

It was pretty obvious to me that this so called "Camp Chief" (Guy B) was trying to score 1 last hit against me b4 letting me go home as he was pretty frustrated that I jacked every single camp admin they could throw at me even though it was 4 VS. 1...Ah well...Not gonna waste my breath jacking a fool... ...

There were SOME good guys within the camp admins though... There were Tic and Tac of my group... ...When they heard that we wanted to leave...They did not ask ANY questions AT ALL...They were like: "Oh ok. But can u wait till this activity is over? Then I bring u to the proper ppl to tok to." Guess they could see from our faces that we REALLY wanted to leave... ... Tic and Tac are their aliases...I regret not being able to know their real names... ...

I heard from Jia Wei that Derick should be coming back to Singapore today so I thought of jus bringing my camp bag and stay at Derick's house...But when I called to ask Jia Wei he told me that Derick's car met wif an accident and couldnt come...When Anston heard that Derick met wif an accident...He was like, "HUH! Derick met wif an accident?! Wat kind of accident?! He is ok?!" Lol...A person of normal intellect would assume that since Derick was able to sms Jia Wei to tell him about the accident it means that he is ok... ...U ARE ok right Derick?

Anywayz... ...My CCA has/had a camp too...They planning to/has already choing Gundam modeling, anime and games of all type (PS2, Xbox, PC etc.)...Now THATS wat I call a fun camp...Free and easy and no clapping and singing PLUS games that are actually fun... ...I wonder if it is over liao...If not I will DEFINITELY join...I blew them off the other time for this pathetic reason of a camp... ...Damn u Anston... ...

WAT?! U MEAN THE 5 HRS IS NOT A JOKE?!?!?!

2007-04-11T17:11:00.000+08:00

Right now doing the fucked up self-certification wif Cheng Wai... B4 coming here...I thought that the 5 hrs they stated as the time needed to finish the self-certification was an exaggeration...Not at all... Those fuckers want to change even the most minor of details like the internet home page...Login style and all that stuff... ...Dun think we can finish all the programming by today... ...Leaving now...Cheng say come back tml... ...

BAH! Who needs orientations... ...?

2007-04-10T23:04:00.000+08:00

Lols...Yesterday was the orientation for my school and I like...totally missed it lah... Lols...I remember one of the seniors saying that u only get to see Singapore Polytechnic's principle twice in ur poly life...Once during orientation and again during graduation... Guess wat senior? Looks like I will only be seeing him once...Heck...If I keep this up...I might not even get to see him at all! Aint that a joke...Graduating without even knowing who the fuck runs my school... ...

Went today for some stupid training... Was very flustered when I reached the school...Lol...I didnt know wat class I was and all that...That was until I met this kindly old bald man... He assured me that the orientation was unimportant and is "useless"...I later found out that he is the disciple master or something...Wat is it wif schools hiring bald disciple masters anywayz?

Met up wif Anston after the supposed training... Went for a tour around the school... ...Ate at Pizza Hut...Thats wat I like about my school...It has the most fast food restaurants...Lolz...I laugh when I recall that NYP only has one measly MacDonald's... ...

Due to some unforeseen circumstance (I lost my collection tin...My school participating in President' Star Charity...)... Anston headed to the library to slack first...That was when problems start happening... ...

I hardly stepped into the school b4 today so the campus grounds was totally foreign to me...Now as I made my way to the library on my own...I relied VERY heavily on the various (Though sparse) You Are Here signs scattered around the campus...Here comes the problem...Some of the signs were pointing at the wrong direction... ...The relatively FUCKED UP mapping system of the school lead me on a wild goose chase and had me walking several trips around the school...PLUS...It TOTALLY did not help that it was raining at the time... ...But...I like to say that I came out on top...At least I am now the one most familiar wif our school's campus...for now...until I forget... ...

After finally arriving at the library soaked in sweat and rain... ...Watched Anston surf the net and laugh at various ppl's Friendster accounts... Turns out...He treats his Friendster account as a source of entertainment rather than a method to make friends like it's supposed to... ...But that isnt to say that I myself did not enjoy his unorthodox entertainment source...Nearly cracked a rib laughing when I saw Xiang aka. Miss Tan's Friendster account...It is actually a normal gal's Friendster account...Wif the flood of self pics and "cute" poses...But somehow...When the subject at hand is Miss Tan...One of ur teachers...U cant help but laugh... ...The pics of her during her trip to Korea was especially hilarious... Anston actually went to set one of the pics wif her dressed up as a Korean palace maid on the base that it was cute... ... Wonder wat is it wif gals and Korea...I recognized one of the places as Jeju island...My mom dragged us there despite the fact that me and my sis (The younger one) would much prefer Tokyo... ...GrrrrRRR...Dae Jang Geum... ...

Cheng Wai met us at the library later on...We (Cheng and I) borrowed some Naruto DVDs to watch...Initially planned to import out and burn every single disc...But scrapped that plan after seeing how the anime version of Naruto suxed... Thats y I say...STICK TO THE ORIGINALS...STICK TO MANGAS...If the original happens to be the manga version...Anime like Gundam are exceptions...Anime are the originals for them... ...

Here comes the freaking HIGHLIGHT of the post... ...

We (Anston and I) went to the camp briefing (WAT WAS I THINKING?! I HATE CAMPS WIF STRANGERS!!!)... ...Guess who we saw? CONNIE!!!(Is like this spell right?) FUCK! That COW signed up for the exact same camp as us... ...I had more that 3/4 a mind to jus pon the whole thing... ...But of course... ...cant leave Anston all alone to the clutches of that cow... ...

After that things jus went spiraling down...Wanted to meet up wif Jon they all to play LAN but for some reason did not happen... Guess we were all too tired... Went home in a bad mood... ...

I noted something interesting during our conversation...Cheng Wai said something that goes like this, "Oi...Ru Gou Wo Qu...Jon Ta Men Huai Bu Huai Kao Bey?" (Oi...Will Jon they all kao bey if I went?)... Then he went on to mention that he feels very "Caught in The Middle" whenever the two groups meet... AT LAST!!! SOMEONE FACING A SIMILAR PROBLEM!!! I cant help but sympathize him...As I can totally (The word of the day seems to be "Totally"... hmm) relate to his problem...Must we all "flaunt" our difference? Must we always agree to our friends' view of other ppl or even views of other friends? Must we be restricted to only one social circle?

Anywayz...IT FINALLY ARRIVED...The Vista Home Premium that I ordered...Wat I like most about my com is that it is Designed for Windows XP, Windows Vista Capable....Means that It can support both Vista and XP...So if Vista cocks up...can revert back to XP...and when Vista stabilizes...can change to Vista...Of course all this would be nice if my school didnt insist that everyone use Windows XP Professional... ...

My Vista in its unique straight-out-of-factory look... Cause I ordered it straight from the factory in Taiwan...The look is slightly different... ...

I only posted this because it is different from the front...It has TWO stickers on it... ...

Farewell... ...

Lets all observe a minute of silence for the passing of Going Merry.

-Iceburg

"Going Merry...Thank you for roaming the seas and soaring though the skies with us all this time, without a care for your own safety."

-Monkey D. Luffy

"The days I spent with you guys are the happiest days of my life."

CCA outing... ...

2007-04-04T23:29:00.000+08:00

Went out to do some shopping wif my new CCA... ..."SP Life Arts"...Trust me...It has NOTHING to do wif art...They jus named it that way cause it sounds more high class and more likely to be accepted by the school than "Anime Club" or watever...The ppl who joined are MOSTLY Otaku...Not all though...Ah...My ppl...I hav returned!!! ...Went to various areas to buy model kits and tools to kick start our course... ...

My toolbox...Surprisingly small...Even my Tamiya car toolbox is five times its size... ...

Basic stuff like Art Knife and Cement...Buying stuff like an Air Brush on a later date... ...

My Model Kit...The RX-78-2... ...

After purchasing these stuff... I went along and bought something that I hav been eying for quite sometime... ...It is most probably the last piece in Singapore and production for that series hav sopped for quite sometime now...However I jus HAV to dedicate a post to this item so...Lets move on... ...

Went down to Niner to play LAN wif Jon and Co. As usual... Khim and Jun Yang was there...Wat was not expected though was that Anston was there...Weird combination of ppl considering their not-so-rosy past wif each other but we got long anyway...Of course the main course was DotA... But I actually enjoyed it this time...I dun know y...But I guess DotA is more of a game wif these guys than a competition... ...

Anston had to leave because if reasons unknown to me...So the rest of us decided to take a break from DotA and tried our hand at Pokemaul again...Again...we did not survive to game...Time time it was not my fault though...as I had already learnt my lesson from my previous experience...Mostly due to Khim's wrong choice of Pokémon type and Jon's misplacement of a Lugia AND his wrong advice on where to place MY Lugia...

Tried some version of Tower Defense and went back for one last game of DotA before heading for home... ...

Walked home together...Long time since I walked home wif these guys... ...Somehow...Every time we meet for LAN...We would op to walk home instead of taking the bus...Was kinda nostalgic... ...

Zero's Familiar... ...

2007-04-03T21:53:00.000+08:00

Hmm...Jus finished watching Zero's Familiar...All I can say about its storyline is that it is the typical , childish anime love story featuring two cute couples... ...So...I FREAKING LOVE IT!!! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!!! Without hesitation...I can say that it is a definite 8/10...Better than Haruhi...Not by a lot though... ...

Some might find it weird that Haruhi will be given lesser marks than Zero's Familiar as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya has better animation...and a storyline that is GENERALLY perceived as more interesting... However...I beg to differ...I feel that the storyline of Haruhi is somewat boring even though it has a cast of very different characters...I get the feeling that 1 episode has little or no connection to the next...

I feel that if a story doesnt hav a strong enough plot to set the viewers thinking...Take an alternative route to evoke emotions...Be it brotherhood or love... ...Works all the same...When I watch Haruhi...I get the feeling that it tries TOO hard to be mysterious and tries TOO hard to make the show seem as if it has a deep plot or something... ...

Anywayz...Zero's Familiar is 8/10 for Okay animation wif a cute but at the same time touching love based storyline... ... so it is classified under MUST WATCH B4 U DIE!!!...While Haruhi being 7/10 is only...Worth Watching... ...

WOOT!!! News is that there is going to be a second season for Zero's Familiar...Again, same as The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, it seemed that the series has already ended in the first season...Wonder wat they are gonna come up wif... ...Well I sure am not complaing about it though!

p/s: And Jia Wei...I still feel that Nagato is more of a copy of Rei than Tabitha aka. Charlotte...Personality wise...Based on looks alone...Tabitha might be more alike... ...

YATTA!!!

2007-04-03T01:00:00.000+08:00

YATTA!!!

YATTA!YATTA!YATTA~!!!

To: ArtCentral

Hmm...First of all...no thanks to the assholes from ArtCentral that changed the anime time slot from 11PM-12MN from Wed-Fri to 12MN-1AM from Mon-Wed...NAH BEY... U think everyone so much time like u stay up till 12MN-1PM to watch ur recycled anime ah? YES!!! RECYCLED ANIME!!! U MOTHER FUCKERS CAN FOOL THE REST...BUT U SURE AS HELL CANT FOOL ME!!! NAH BEY... Repeat Shaman King nvrmind... Repeat Rumbling Hearts nvrmind... ...But u guys hav recycled Inuyasha AT LEAST THREE TIMES!!! Hmm...But it seems that Inuyasha has stopped repeating and hav gone on a steady course lately so nvrmind that... ...

BACK TO THE MAIN SUBJECT!!! NAH BEY...Everything was fine all this while...WHY THE HELL U HAV TO CHANGE THE TIME SLOT?!?!?! If it is ratings u guys are looking for... ...THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO DO IT!!!U dun push shows that are in already very late time slots to EVEN LATER time slots... ...BTW...Do u hav ANY, FUCKING, IDEA...How many FUCKING years I hav watched the anime slot in ur half baked channel?! I have watched it since u guys started it wif Inuyasha and 12 Kingdoms dunno how many donkey years back... Do u know how big an adjustment I had to make to accommodate UR fucking change in time slot?! And nooo...U dun jus change the broadcasting time...U HAD to change the dates... ...It has already become habit...even SECOND NATURE for me to tune in to ArtCentral during Wed-Mon at 11PM... ...I hav yet to miss a SINGLE EPISODE!!! Despite ur constant reruns of anime...I still remain loyal...Despite watching the first season of Inuyasha THREE TIMES!!!...I STILL remain loyal...Y DID U HAV TO CHANGE THE TIME SLOT?!?!?! TRYING TO WRECK MY WEEKLY SCHEDULE ISSIT?! TRYING TO CONFUSE ME ISSIT?!The way I see it...U guys are jus showing utter DISRESPECT to anime... ...I mean...Placing them in time slots that crosses over to the next day?...BLATANT RECYCLING OF ANIME?!?!?!...Haiz... ...I hav gotten used to the old time slot leh... ...For YEARS liao...I hav followed that time slot...Now ask me to change...nan liao (Difficult in chinese... ...). Old habits die hard... ...

ON THE OTHER HAND!!!Good job in rerunning Samurai 7!!! It is one of the BEST anime out there... I rate it 9/10 for GREAT animation and touching storyline about a band of samurai...I always hav a soft spot for these touching anime on love and brotherhood... I kinda envy the great relationships the characters in these shows hav wif each other...That would explain y I would giv Rumbling Hearts 8/10 for Okay animation and GREAT love story while Naruto would only get a 5/10 for average animation... uninteresting storyline...and...unnecessary, stupid, excessive and totally unrelated...FILLERS!!! Should spend more times broadcasting anime from GONZO...all of them all CONFORM high quality anime... Know y?...Cause GONZO is willing to dish out the CASH... All of their productions got SUPER big budgets... From wat I know... ...Each ep of Samurai 7 cost $300,000USD to produce...Thats... *Calculates*...$7,800,000USD...NAH BEY...THATS LIKE 7.8 MILLION FOR THE WHOLE SERIES LAH...I am soooooo buying the DVDs... ...Wah Kao...7.8M...Giv that to Steven Spielberg and he can make Mission: Impossible IV lah...Emm...Maybe not...Hollywood thinks in billions... ...

Anywayz...Samurai 7 is classified under...MUST WATCH B4 U DIE!!!...GO GONZO!!!

p/s: Jus dun rerun Last Exile (9/10)...I already hav the VCD so I can watch that anytime I want...Oh and dun rerun Kiddy Grade (8/10) too...I hav that too... ...GONZO BANZAI!!!

Yours Faithfully,
Leonard Yao

S.O.S-Dan...BANZAI!!!

2007-04-02T00:08:00.000+08:00

Jus finished watching The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya...Was FAR above average...EVEN BORDERING GREAT... ...But jus not quite there yet... ...Already looking forward to the next season... ...Wonder wat they will come up wif next...They already had some sort of conclusion in this 1st season... ...

I giv it 7/10 for wonderful (Not GREAT...You want GREAT? Go look for GONZO works... ...) animation... Interesting characters and nice storyline... ...Would hav given it 8/10 if not for the simple and short storyline that has close to no plot... ... Ah well...Good luck to season two... ...

Trying Zero's familiar right now... ...The animations looks a notch lower compared to Suzumiya... ...But cant say anything at the moment as I hav not finish the season...Giv me a day... ...

p/s: There is supossed to be a post before this one... ...But cant post that yet as there seems to be a prob wif my internet connection so I cant really upload pics and I dun wanna upload a half done post... ...

Smooth Sailing... ...

2007-03-30T23:02:00.001+08:00

Woah...Heng sia today...I missed my appointment date to make my Student Card but Anston told me that the appointment date does not matter so I was planning to go on Monday...But...luckily...Early in that morning I received an SMS from Anston informing me that today is the last day... ... I of course rushed down to make my card... ...

After making the card...there was a little orientation like thingy where they try to persuade into joining their camps and stuff...Did not really take interest in any of them...But I did join this weekend activity thingy together wif Anston...He says he wanna turn Singapore Polytechnic upside down together... ...

Btw...Guess wat?...Anston actually gave me back the LAN money he owned me from the other day...IN WHOLE...Boy hav things sure changed... ...

Then I went on to the CCA exhibition of sorts... There were a number of interesting CCAs like Wakeboarding, Skateboarding and Silat... And there are some lame CCAs like Drama (Something like that...Acting one lah...) and International Students Club...The lamest I hav seen so far is the Christian club... ...I was not sure which CCA I wanted to join as I am not a sports kinda guy and I was not really interested in activities like Silat...Then I saw the Astronomy Club and I thought that since I had no other interest in any other CCAs...I would jus join the Astronomy Club for the sake of it... THEN...Right next to the Astronomy Club's booth...I saw a some Gundam Models...Fully painted and some had customized bases...Beside...there was a LCD TV screening an Anime show...Around the walls of the booths were wonderful sketches of Kira and Lacus of the Gundam Seed series and I KNEW...I hav arrived at the right place... ...I knew that if I were to join this club...the financial stress on me will be rather significant (Master Grade Model Kit: $75, Perfect Grade Model Kit: $200-500, Air Brush: $50-400)...But the attraction was too great to resist...

I approached the guy in charge of the booth (Some non-student guy...). I asked wat the club was about and he said that it is basically a club where u learn how to make models (Gundams mostly...) and figurines like a pro... ....And draw mangas...How cool it that?! And they hav even got a pro artist from Japan to fly over to teach manga classes! They will even create teams within the club to create custom Gundams to send into competitions, cool... ...The gy asked which Model Kit I wanted t start wif...My immediate response was, "Wing Gundam, Katoki!"...But he comments that Wing is quite had to paint due to its design and advises me to start wif something easier...So I asked for a RX-78 GP01 cause it was sleek...He say dun hav...Then I asked for GP03...also dun hav...Lucky they still hav the RX-78-2...All that art stuff and model kits are gonna burn a BIG hole...but no one ever said an Otaku's life is easy... ...

After settling all the SP stuff...Went on to Bishan, where Jia Wei's dad's office is located... ...I started working for him yesterday... ...ending today...not much about work life there (Due to the short lifespan of my work life there...)...But took a lot of pics of semi-interesting(Not THAT interesting...But worth noting... ...) stuff... ...

Ladies and Gentlemen... PSALM ACTIVE!!!

I know his dad trades cups and plate and all that...But isnt this a little too much?

I'm in charge of this warehouse... ...

Look at his job...So easy...I still hav to pan hou (Move goods in chinese...).

Yin Yang plates...To ward off spirits... ...(HEY!!! I jus realized...The formation is wrong!The spirits are free to roam the office...No wonder it looked weird... ...)

The Pandan Leaf Collection... ...For a limited time only... ...

Ditto the above... ...

Look at this piece of crap...Thats a ceramic frog btw...I HATE frogs...So slimy... ...

Look...Shurikens... ...

Couldnt help but play wif them... ...

Lolz...Windows 98...Long time since I saw one of these... ...

This one even longer...Since the time of WIndows 95... ...

Lol...Jap mailbox thingy... ...

Found this "Funny Cup" in the shop... ...

It might be jus me but a cup glued on top of an unstable piece of slim rock seems somehow unpractical to me... ...

Some stuff mother ask me buy...I know...Bo liao hor...This kind of thing oso upload... ...

Thats about it...Now bored outta m mind and whiling away my time doing this... ...

DIE BLOCKHEAD!!!

2007-03-27T08:20:00.003+08:00

For those for u who play Okami u should know that there is this irritating character(s) called Blockhead that randomly appears in the game that blocks Amaterasu's way of some treasure off some sort... ...Blockhead is a living wall...he blocks the way of treasures and cant be destroyed by head butting him...U can only destroy him by dotting on his weak points wif Amaterasu's celestial brush...He will flash his weak points for 2 sec before they disappear and Amaterasu has to dot his weak points...At the last Blockhead...Blockhead Grande...There will be 8-10 weak points u hav to dot...and they disappear within 2 sec...

Now...ppl on the internet hav complained and whine about this mini-game of sorts...Some hav tried for hours...some even resorted to using markers to mark on their TV where the weak points were, AND STILL FAILED!...One asked his brother to help remember where the points are... ...Now... I hav found out the EASIEST way... ...RECORD THE PROCESS!!!

I first tried to photograph the process using my phone but it happened too fast...so I recorded it...than I had all the time in the world to refer to my phone...LOL...Underhanded...true...but necessary...IT WAS HARD OKAY?!

p/s: Lol...use marker to mark the TV screen... ...

Zzz...DotA... ...

2007-03-25T23:51:00.001+08:00

Planned to go to Trinity Methodist Church (The one near my house...) to attend BB Enrollment Service... ...Anston asked Jon and I out for breakfast at Mac near my house (Did not ask Hong Chao along...typical of him...watever...)... ...He was late as usual... more than an hr late...as usual...In the end...he did not turn up for the breakfast that he planned... Jon and I had a great time though (Somewat...)...Mostly jus catching up on stuff... ...Anston arrived jus after the Church Service started... ...not unexpected... ...

Went to BB Enrollment Service... ...Mainly because we wanted to see how Wei Jie and the juniors are doing... ... same old... same old... There were more recruits than we expected though... ...Wonder how they conned them into BB... But we bet that more than 80% of them will be gone by a year though... ...

We thought of following Pravin and gang to watch Mr. Bean's Holiday...but Jon and Anston insisted on going to Niner (The LAN shop near Kovan center...and its not spelled L-i-n-e-r... ...). As expected...the first game on the list was DotA... It was ok though...as it has been a long time since I last played the game so I didnt mind as much... ... It was Anston and I Vs. Jon and Hong Chao...I could tell that Anston was not too happy...or rather not very excited to be in the same team as me...to say the least...I would say it was attributed to my known suckiness in the game ...watever...And no...I did not choose to be in the same team as him...It was somewat random (Come on...it was 1 out of 3...the chances are...high...). We won that game btw...We only played one game though...Jon and/or Hong Chao suggested that we played another game...They were probably bored of the game as well...though they might hav suggested changing because they knew I dont really like that game...but I doubt that... ...

Jon and/or Hong Chao suggested playing Anime Fight... ...But Anston asked us to continue playing ourselves and announced that he would be going online to play wif the others (Namely...the 4E1 guys...). Lol...I found it amusing that he would call us out to Niner and yet once the game moved away from DotA... He chose to call his other DotA buddies to play DotA online...leaving us wif uneven teams... Not surprising though...Not the first time he did that... ...

Jon won both Anime Fight matches that we played...Lol...that cause he knew who is gay loh... ...Then moved on to Tower Defense...Hong Chao totally OWNED that game... Jon and I were jus audiences to his onslaught... ...But I admit I was the lousiest in that game... First time play wat... ...I thought Ren Dou Hao Pan Si (Easier to do stuff mif more ppl in chinese...) so I created lots of lousy towers..lol Jon and Hong Chao only depend on less than half my amount of uber upgraded towers to do more than 10 times my damage... ...

We than experimented wif different versions of Tower Defense...like Marvel Tower Defense (Can use ppl like Electro...Vemon and Jubilee...)...Than we settled for Pokemaul... Once Anston saw that we were start to play Pokemaul... He immediately asked to join the game...I could nvr understand his love(?) for Pokémon... ...(When he informed the others that he was going to play wif us for awhile...I noticed that they replied wif sarcastic comments like, "Play wif Leonard they all...Zzz"... ...-_- Y?! CANNOT ISSIT?! CHEE BYE!!!CAN ONLY HANG OUT WIF U ALL ISSIT?! NAH BEY!!!CANT WE MAKE FRIENDS FREELY?!ARE UR NOSES SO HIGH UP IN THE AIR?!DO U NEED ME TO SMASH IT BACK DOWN TO EARTH FOR YA?! HUH?! DO YA?!... ...KANINAH... ...)

I am glad to announce that I was the best at this game... ...I of course...chose Psychic type... ...We could hav won the game if not for "someone"(Let not go into details...) who was so stubborn that he insisted on evolving his Pokémons instead of building lots of Pokémon to build an elaborate maze made up of Pokémons... ...We failed multiple times because of the same stubborn guy (Like I said...Details...Who needs them?) and the same stubborn reason... ...

After many failures...Jon and Hong Chao decided to leave... Anston and I decided to stay and try to beat the game...We almost did as the stubborn someone decided to step it up and soon...his Psychic Squad was UNBEATABLE...But stubbornness seemed to hav migrated to someone else...someone known as Anston... ...First time round...He REFUSED to build more Torchics and INSISTED on evolving them ALL THE WAY...to Blaziken...Second time round...he REFUSED to listen to my advice of changing to Psychic type...He did tone down on the evolving though...but the went and try to build an elaborate maze...leading to my side to lead the enemies to my side to help him clear some of his enemies...That worked...and my supreme Psychic Squad was able to more than handle the extra load...But because of his long maze...he let his side WIDE open to flying enemies... ...

After multiple failures due to his,"Xiang Xin Fire Pokémon" (Believe in Fire Pokémon in chinese) attitude...He said that he was going to play DotA wif the others and invited me to play along... ...and I did...I was of course the weakest in the game due to my inexperience and we were up against freaks that play nothing but DotA... ...After several minutes into the game...I could tell...I KNEW...that they were feeding on my...on purpose...EVERY SINGLE TIME I stepped out into the open...three of them would gangbang me and all of them had the ability to turn invisible... ...Lame...I was weakest and yet they place three pros against me...it wasnt chance...they were clearly farming on a noob (I do not mind admitting that...I hav close to no interest in that game...so no surprise there... ...). Every time they kill me...I lose gold...And because of the constant dieing ...I cant gain experience to gain level...No gold...No gaining of levels...I saw no chance to fan shen (Turn the tables in chinese...). So...I left the game... ...Seeing that...the others began to kao bey...and told Anston that they will not call me to play again... ...

*Snort*

Firstly, I dun seem to recall u guys EVER calling me to play wif u...If Anston nvr asked me to join in...I would most probably be playing Battlefield 2 alone... ...Secondly, I NVR liked DotA...I find playing it a hassle at times...I am not so HARD UP for DotA that I hav to find U PPL to play the game wif me... ...Thirdly, I was PAYING to play in a LAN shop, I did not hav the luxury of time like u ppl playing from home...I WOULD THINK that I hav the RIGHT to quit a game if I was not enjoying it!!! LASTLY, I nvr ASKED to play wif u ppl...so dun make it seem as if u guys are DEPRIVING me of a PRIVILEGE...OKAY?!...Nah Buey Chee Bye..Lim Bei Huay Xi Han Ni Men Zhe Ban Ren?!?!?! (U think ur father will regret losing u bunch of ppl?!?!?! in chinese... ...)

After the game...Anston could tell that I was clearly not enjoying myself after that episode...so he suggested that we play something else... ...He suggested playing GunBound...yes...lol... ...Much to my surprise...he had continued playing the game for quite some time and had accumulated a considerable amount of cool costumes... ...One would think that his level of skill would hav gone up...Nope... ...Not at all...He tries using high angle shots more often now...but not fantastic..to say the least... Surprisingly...I kept on winning ...It was late, but Anston kept insisting that the next game would be last... After several last games...due to his inability to beat me...(One of the few character traits we share...) ...He finally beat me using Grub...I WAS NOT EVEN USING MY BEST BOT (Mage...) LOH!!! I was using the half baked Kalsiddon... ...

When...leaving...Anston was worried that he did not hav enough money to pay for the amount of time he played and asked if I had enough to cover for him... ...I assured him that I did... ...

Upon arriving at the counter...I took out a fifty to pay for myself and cover for him... ... Seeing the fifty dollar note...Anston swiftly went on to inform the cashier that the fifty was for both...in full...*Sigh* ... At least THAT has not changed... ...

WTF?!?!?! U CALL THIS DMC?!?!?!

2007-03-22T18:54:00.000+08:00

U know wat Derick?... U were right... Devil May Cry 2 DOES suck... ... OMG it was a one day game lah... Anyone that wants a quick PS2 action fix...Go for DMC 2...But dun keep ur hopes up...this game exists purely to cure temporary boredom from the endless RPGs (Not that RGPs arent fun... ...)

I woke up quite early today (2 AM) and decided to play (Cause I hav nothing else to do... ...)... I suddenly did not feel like playing Square-Enix related games like Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Final Fantasy (All of them) as wat boredom needs is not strategic RPGs but button mashing action games... ...I looked through my collection and came upon DMC 2 (Yes, I hav a lot of games I dun even know I hav... ... Jus the other day...I found out I had Viewtiful Joe 2... ...). I decided to try DCM 2 as I was REALLY impressed wif Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening and I wanted to see wat Dante was like when he was older... ...BAD decision... ...IT SUCKED BAD!!! Although I did not waste a lot of time on it... ...took me less than 6 hrs to complete the game... ...

Graphics:
The first thing I noticed when I loaded up the game was that its graphics are MUCH lousier than DMC 3...U might think that this is reasonable as DMC 3 came after DMC 2...But the graphics for DMC 2 is as good as PS 1 graphics...Even Final Fantasy VIII looks better than DMC 2 (Serious...) ...Any of FF VIII's Guardian Force will put DMC 2's so-called Demons to shame...I mean...Jus look at Shiva will ya?!

Moves:
The amount of moves that Dante has in DMC 2 is also VERY limited...When I took a peek at the action list...I only saw the basic Air Hike...Stinger and...and...cant remember...SEE WAT I MEAN?!?!?! DMC 2 got so little moves that I cant even recall 3...I mean...DMC 3 had cool moves like Million Strike and...watever...cant remember...But only because I long time nvr play DMC 3 liao...But to be fair...DMC 2 givs Dante added maneuverability wif moves that allow his to run up wall and stuff like that... ...

Weapons:
One of the things that I most look forward to in a DMC game is its wide array of very different weapons...I mean...in DMC 3 they had a set of gauntlets and boots which shot beams of light and an electric guitar that summon bats!!!(For those who hav yet to experience DMC 3...As ridiculous as these weapons sound...they are REALLY cool...) And every weapon has its own set of move list and combos that make fighting enemies NVR boring... I thought that I would endure a bit of crappy DMC 2 jus to see wat weapons they came up wif...I was FUCKING disappointed... ...Rebellion (Dante's default weapon...A double edged sword...) already has a disappointing move list wif only standard moves like Stinger, Lift and the normal 3-hit combo... I was hoping that the other weapons would be more interesting...didnt happen...The other two weapons(Yup...only two...)...One was a double edged broadsword named Vendetta and another is a double edged longsword...They hav NO SPECIAL ABILITIES and they hav the EXACT SAME MOVES as Rebellion...haiz...And if u unlock Dante's DMC costume in DMC 2 u can use force edge...which is his father's sword...Hav EXACT SAME STATS as Rebellion...only looks different...Honestly...I see no point in making these weapons... ...

Storyline/Plot:
The storyline and plot in DMC 2 in MINIMAL...No story other than the one they gave u at the beginning of the game...no twist and turn...no NOTHING...Every mission is jus playing through and fighting that boss that has NO RELATIONSHIP to the game...They did not even ATTEMPT to link the bosses to the story...they jus PLACED that boss there to fight Dante... ...

Puzzles:
Stupid puzzles that serves more as an irritant than a brain wreck...U wan puzzles? Play DMC 3...Onimusha...Resident Evil or God of War...Dun play DMC 2...

Difficulty:
IT WAS TOO FUCKING EASY!!!I mean...I completed the game in SIX HOURS LAH!!! I think thats y ppl compliant that DMC 3 was too farking hard...(I found it ok though...And Derick...I found back my touch...Now can defeat Vergil using only Rebellion...)

Length:
IT WAS TOO FUCKING SHORT!!!I mean...I completed the game in SIX HOURS LAH!!! I took 1 whole day to complete DMC 3...

Unlockables:
Capcom games...to me...always had great unlock of completing their games...For the Megaman series...It was different modes for Megaman (Be it Zero or X or jus Megaman...) Mavel vs. Capcom had secret characters like Golden War Machine and Shadow Lady...Onimusha 3: Demon Siege had the side story game , Adventures of Heihachi and Weapons from the first game, Raizan, Enryuu and Shippuu...Guess wat DMC 2 gave? They gave ONE measly costume...NO bonus art...NO extra character and NO concept art...and guess wat? The costume is not Dante in cool Legendary Dark Knight or stuff like that...It is Dante dressing in Diesel clothing -_- Yes, the clothing company...tok about lame marketing scheme...

Dante:
He got all emo and serious in DMC 2...no longer trash toking... ...

Bottom line...DMC 2 SUCKS...apparently...It doesnt live up to its predecessor...From wat I heard...the original Devil May Cry was LEGENDARY!!! Even DMC 2 had difficulty topping DMC...I quote a unknown source (Cant remember lah), "Fans and critics alike agree that it just might be equal, if not superior, to the first game." Means that DMC is still very good compared to DMC 3 in spite of that fact that DMC was created YEARS ago...

But to be fair...DMC 2 was developed by a team different from the one that developed the original DMC... ...

Ah...Rei... ...

2007-03-17T23:56:00.001+08:00

Went to cash out my cheque today...Was supposed to cash out wif Jia Wei but he was late as usual (He is ALWAYS late...even for work...)...I had to wait for 1 hr before he arrived...And by that time I hav already cashed out my cheque...And I still had to wait for him to queue up and cash out his cheque...Haiz...

But he had somewat valid reasons for being late...

After he walked down the huge slope leading up to his house...he realized that he forgot to take his cheque wif him...*Roll Eyes*...After retrieving his cheque and once again reaching the bottom of the slope...He realized that he forgot to bring along the souvenir he brought for my on his trip to Bangkok (Yes...he brought a souvenir for me on his trip to Bangkok...How nice eh?)...Then of course he had to make his way up the huge slope to collect the souvenir...I did not think that 2 trips up and down that slope of his would make him 1 hr late but I forgave him and did not question further on the account of the nice souvenir he got me:

Lookie there...It's Uchiha Sasuke!!! Blowing out fire some more... ...

We then went shopping together wif our newly filled wallets... ...The first place we went to was Sunshine Plaza... ...For those of u who dun know...Sunshine Plaza is a mini-mall kinda place that mostly sell figurines...They hav ALL SORTS of figurines there...and when I say all sorts I really do mean ALL SORTS!!! They hav EVERYTHING that an Otaku like myself would EVER want...The products sold there range from the ever popular Mobile Suit Model Kits to rare figurines of the first Masked Rider!!! They also sell stuff that are not figurines but are nevertheless anime related...They have the usual keychains ...pins and cards...BUT they also have rare stuff like mugs and imported magazines from Japan...Most impressive is that they even hav Naruto ramen imported from Japan...

We, or rather I, had a hard time choosing wat to buy...there were so may figurines and they were all so well done and beautiful...I went there, determined to buy a Ayanami Rei figurine...but Rei herself had more than 12 or maybe even 20 different design... ...To make matters worse...I saw a original Final Fantasy VII Sephiroth figurine... ...That series is no longer in production and Sephiroth is much rarer than the rest of the figurines in the series...And that figurine is based on Sephiroth's original design...not his Advent Children look...Although that particular figurine is a whooping 150 bucks...I expected it to be priced at about twice that value... ...Haiz...So many figurines...so little money...

But in the end...I came to the decision to buy the 10th Anniversary Edition of Neon Genesis Evangelion figurine set of Rei Ayanami and Sohryu Asuka Langley:

*Sigh*...Arent they jus beautiful?

Them together wif some of the other stuff in my room to giv a good idea of their size...which is quite big... ...

Rei and Asuka individually...Believe me...they are much more impressive and beautiful when outside of their boxes... ...

I currently keep them in their individual boxes...Not sure whether I should display them outside of their boxes...I am worried that they might get damaged and dust will gather...Once dust gathers...it is very hard to clean them off figurines...especially Mobile Suit models...they are so fragile...My RX-78 GP01 is kinda yellow now... ...Plus I wanna keep them in mint condition... ...

Jia Wei already had a figurine, or rather an action figure, in mind before he arrived at Sunshine Plaza...He wanted a Roxas action figure...Y he likes Roxas so much in spite of the fact that Roxas
is jus a side character and Jia Wei has nvr completed Kingdom Hearts 2...is beyond me...although I admit that Roxas's character design is pretty cool... ...However...all the figurine shops in Sunshine Plaza had run out of Roxas action figures(But they had plenty of Sora action figures...Wonder y?)...Only one shop had 1 Roxas action figure left but they were taking advantage of the fact that Roxas action figures were rare to sell it at an exorbitant price of seventy something bucks(Cant remember exact price...)!!! I mean...WTF?!?!?!THAT IS LIKE 1.5 TIMES THE ORIGINAL PRICE LAH FUCK!!!But thanks to me...we found a shop in Bugis Junction called Absolute Comics that had one last Roxas action figure that was sold at the normal price of $49.40...Haiz...I should hav brought that...dunno whether can find another one... ...

After shopping for figurines... I still had plenty of cash left so I considered buying more figurines but decided to stop by Sim Lim Square before making any decisions...

The moment we arrived at Sim Lim Square...We headed for Game Planet...(Game Planet has two outlets in Sim Lim Square...We went to the one located on level 5 as it has a larger variety of games...) Btw...Game Planet is GREAT...It sells games at much cheaper prices than anywhere else...The PC version of Fable: The Lost Chapters can be found at a measly price of $50 and Guild Wars games can be found at around $50...The last time I saw Guild Wars at Comics Connection...It was being sold at around $80...

I intended to buy Guild Wars: Nightfall but ended up buying Guild Wars: Factions as it has the Assassin class and as Andrew says...,"It has a nicer box"-_-

I was torned between buying Collector's Edition and the normal one as the Collector's Edition one had extra stuff and had a cooler box...But Jia Wei convinced me that it was not worth it to pay more than twice the price to buy the game plus some extra stuff that is really stupid(Like a soundtrack and pins...)...So I ended up buying the normal one...and deciding to spend the money , buying the guide book instead of paying extra for the Collector's Edition...:

Guild Wars: Factions wif its "Nicer box"... ...

I have started playing liao...But I have not yet reached the maximum lvl of 20(The reason for such a low max lvl is because the games focuses more on PvP than lvling...).Despite the low max lvl...It is actually quite hard to lvl up in this game...so far I am only at lvl 6... ...

After buying Guild Wars, I considered buying other figurines like the original Sephiroth figurine and figurines from the Monsieur Bome collection...which is VERY tempting...go here to see wat I mean... ...I did not though as buying too many stuff in a day might attract disapproval from my parents... ...Especially my mom... ...

We then later head for home early as Jia Wei has to go swimming wif his relatives at Serangoon Gardens Country Club(LOL!!!)...

The first one to see wat I bought was my mom...Her reaction was, "Wei Se Mua Mai Nu De?!" ("Y did u buy females?!" in Chinese...). I didnt know wat to say so I did not say anything... ...Jus wait till I buy my first Bome figurine...

My mom then invited me to go to the Serangoon Gardens Country Club gym to workout wif her and my sisters...Now...I usually would reply wif a ,"Zou Le Ji De Guan Men..." ("Remember to close the door on the way out..." in Chinese), but this time I made it a exception as I wanted to laugh at a swimming Jia Wei using my status as a Gold Star ranked swimmer...Unfortunately...By the time I was done working out...It was already nighttime and there were close to no one in the pool...But I did see his brother ,Jia Ming, though...But I dont think he recognized me...He was already dressed by then... ...

Today was the first time I stepped in to the club since receiving a membership card of the club (Was too busy slacking, besides...I had no reason to go there...)...And also the first time I stepped into a gym(Not counting the school's...The school's gym equipments were alway closed and they were lousy to begin wif...)...The gym's equipments had fancy sensor thingys that shows a person's heart rate as it is important for a person's heart rate to maintain at twice its normal rate for optimum fat burning to take place... The first equipment I tried was the bicycle like thingys...It was quite relaxing as it lets me sit and I love cycling...NOT! It was not relaxing AT ALL!!! My mistake was setting the time at 30 min...I was pretty tired by the time 12 min had passed...My sister said that I could stop to rest a the machine would pause but I refused to stop due to my pride...and also because of my pride, I refused to even slow down...By the time 30 min passed..I had cycled 20.4 km...That is like 40.8 km/h lah...which is like...almost the speed of a car lah...When I saw that I had only burn about 230 something(Cant remember exact value...) calories...I was damn pissed...as a bowl of noodles have around 500 calories...Half an hour of non-stop cycling to burn off less than half a bowl of noodles?I saw no point in working one's ass off to burn off much less calories than we put in in a normal diet.(Not like I am a glutton like Yun Hao or watever wat...)And dun even tok about to dieting to me...I like...no, I LOVE my food...I enjoy eating...Not eating as an activity...But more like I enjoy eating good food...which is tasty...and which is usually fattening...I then tired the weights...not really working out...jus playing wif the equipments...Then came my worse moment in the trip to the gym...

I went to try this step thingy equipment that looks similar to a treadmill...As usual to these equipment...I entered my age and stuff and selected fat burning as my program...In the fat burning program...the machine monitors my heart rate to make sure it is around twice my normal heart rate for optimum fat burning..Now comes the part that pisses me off...15 sec into the workout...the machine says that my heart rate was too high and that I had to slow down to reduce it...So...I slowed down to an ant's pace to lower my heart...BUT STILL...it asked me to slow down...I slowed down some more and then the machine pauses and tell me to continue to the work out...5 sec after continuing...it tell me to slow down...Then it continued this way for quite some time...I cant seemed to slow down my heart rate enough for the farked up machine...and every time it asks me to slow down again...It makes my blood boil which then contribute to my ever increasing heart rate...I was like," WTF IS WRONG WIF U?!?!?! MY HEART RATE RISE FASTER THAN NORMAL PLL CANNOT ISSIT?! NAH BEI!!!SLOW DOWN THEN U STOP!!!SPEED UP THEN U ASK ME SPEED UP!!!CHEE BYE!!!". I then set the machine to cardio training mode(Which requires higher heart rate...)....But still...I had to go through the program at an extremely slow pace...

There was ONE equipment that was fun though...There was a boat rowing simulator in the gym...It lets u race against this AI in the machine...It was pretty fun...I won by 5 boats...I guess things are a lot more fun and interesting wif a bit of competition... ...

Went home wif a sore butt...from the cycle machine thingy... ...Try Guild Wars: Factions... ...Ogle at Rei... ...Blog... ...Sleep should be up next... ...Maybe more Guild Wars... ...Finally sleep(If I do sleep that is... ...)... ...

NO SWEAT!!!

2007-03-17T02:03:00.000+08:00

I was in a bit of a mood for Kingdom Hearts 2 today so I decided to try to challenge Sephiroth... ...U can also fight Sephiroth in the original Kingdom Hearts and I defeated him in the original Kingdom Hearts... ...But I heard that Kingdom Hearts 2's Sephiroth is much gayer and much more difficult... ...According to Cheng Wai... ...Sephiroth in Kingdom Hearts 2 is utter gayness and that it is near impossible to defeat him... ...After hearing all this,I decided to challenge him...Prepared... ...

I went about my way, grinding... ...I started at around lv 75 and only stopped at around lv 85... ...Only then did I dared challenge Sephiroth... ...I already had a bad experience wif him in Kingdom Hearts... ...Wif him being rumored to be stronger in Kingdom Hearts 2... ...I wanted to make sure...this time...I go prepared... ...

At lv 85 I got tired of grinding and jus went ahead and challenged Sephiroth... ...My hands went stiff... ...anticipating all the different buttons I hav to press to block his attacks...dodge his attacks...hit him...execute limits and of course...heal myself... ...

The match starts off wif Sephorith running towards Sora at speeds the human eye cant detect and attacks u wif his famed Masamune...(Which is unusual as Sephiroth usually starts slow...)This is his second strongest attack,"Flash" ...If he makes contact wif this attack... ...expect Sora to lose more then 3 quarters of his life... ...However...Flash has its weakness...it can be easily blocked using the Keyblade by pressing the reaction button at the correct time... ...Then began my assault on Sephiroth... ...I unleash my trinity limit and start button mashing the attack button...Then I realized something I did not expect...I was totally whooping Sephiroth's ass!!!This was unexpected as I did not feel that veteran gamers like Cheng Wai would encounter any problems if Sephiroth is to be of this caliber... ...After taking away about 1 third of his health... ...He executed the attack I was waiting for..."Sin Harvest"...Sin Harvest is Sephiroth's most powerful attack...It reduces both HP and MP to zero instantaneously... ...The only way to survive this attack is to equip the "Once More" or "Second Chance" ability..."But even so...u would be left wif only 1 HP...0 MP...I hit from him and u would die...Now in the original Kingdom Hearts...Sin Harvest was relatively easy to deal wif...jus keep Sora at the center of the ring and as soon as Sephiroth says, "Sin Harvest"...whack him...and the attack will be stopped...In Kingdom Hearts 2 however...Sephiroth has learn a new trick...He flies into the air before casting Sin Harvest...thus making it impossible to hit him and disrupt the spell...He then proceeds to hit Sora...and Sora(Wif only 1 hp left)dies...I was then stumped...I was at a lost...I had no idea how to counter this attack...My sister suggested that I use healing items to counter this move but I strongly refused to do so as I wanted to defeat Sephiroth on a fair playing ground...He dun use items...I dun use items...Then it struck me... ...

I had figured out a way to counter that attack without using any items... ...But first...let me explain the effects of two spells...

Sin Harvest:
Draws a halo above Sora...a moment later...Sin Harvest depletes all HP and MP.
Time between casting of spell and spell taking effect: 2/3 sec.

Curaga:
Sora throws green spell thingy into air...a moment later...green spell thingy falls back onto Sora and heals Sora to full health.
Time between casting of spell and spell taking effect: 1/2 sec.

So I thought up of this senario...:

1. Sephiroth casts Sin Harvest...Halo appears above Sora...
2. Before Sin Harvest depletes MP...Sora casts Curaga and throws green spell thingy into air...
3. Sin Harvest takes effect...Depleting HP to 1 and MP to 0...
4. Green spell thingy falls back onto Sora...Healing him to full health...

PERFECT!!!

It was the perfect plan, but of course...it took split second timing... ...I had to try several times but I finally got the hang of it and was then trashing Sephiroth like a dog... ...But of course it is because Sephiroth is not using his full strength...As it can be seen after defeating Sephiroth...he goes on to wipe dust off his shoulders and comment that Sora is indeed talented...in a sia lan way... ...Peh...naive Sora...to think that he actually thought that he could defeat Sephoroth in a no hold barred match...the naivety of some... ...

So I hav to say that Sephiroth is definitely gayer in the original Kingdom Hearts...He is significantly watered down in Kingdom Hearts 2...here is y:

Battleground:
Then battleground in Kingdom Hearts 2 is much bigger and thus provides more space to run...

Attack Range:
It might be because of the difference in battleground size but Sephiroth's attack range seems longer in the original Kingdom Hearts...

Sin Harvest:
Easier to counter if u know how...

Defense:
In the original Kingdom Hearts...He does not start taking damage until Sora has hit him a huge amount of times...In Kingdom Hearts 2...Sora can start damaging him from the start...

Teleporting:
Sephiroth teleports lets often in Kingdom Hearts 2...

Damage:
Sephiroth deals far more damage in the original Kingdom Hearts...

Meteor:
In the original Kingdom Hearts...Sephiroth summons meteors to spin around him and attack Sora...Sephiroth is invulnerable during this attack...That means u only get to see urself getting killed...In Kingdom Hearts 2...Sephiroth flies into the air to summon meteors to hit Sora...He is no longer invulnerable during this attack and the damage taken from these meteors is lesser...

Better Abilities:
In Kingdom Hearts 2...Sora has better abilities to take advantage of...

Now are some tips to prevent would be challengers of Sephiroth from becoming... ...

1. MUST equip Second Chance or Once More..or even better...BOTH...If u want to even survive this match... ...Second Chance lets Sora retain 1 HP even after taking one massive strike...Once More lets Sora retain 1 HP even after taking in combo hits...Both let Sora get away wif 1 HP after Sin Harvest...Second Chance protects Sora from potential 1 hit kill attacks like Sephiroth's "Flame Pillar"...Once More protects Sora from combo attacks like Sephiroth's devastating combos...So u get 1 HP...BIG DEAL u say...well...that 1 HP may very well let u win as it givs u time to heal urself to full health using Curaga... ...

2. Equip "MP Haste" to speed up restoration of MP when Sora runs out of it..."MP Rage" to recover MP for each damage Sora sustains...Amount of MP recovered is directly proportionate to amount of damage taken...These abilities will help Sora regain MP faster, thus allowing him to cast Curaga at an earlier time... ...

3. Equip "Berserker" to let combos continue indefinitely when MP is depleted...But finishing moves of combos are removed...This allows Sora to rain blows onto Sephiroth without stopping when he has no MP...Being continuously hit...Sephiroth cant launch a counter attack unless he teleports...This also lets Sora buy time while his MP gauge refills... ...

4. Try to max out or at least lvl up slightly the skills of all the forms such as "Glide" and "Quick Run"...These skills increases Sora's overall maneuverability, thus allowing him to dodge Sephiroth's attacks better... ...

5. Set Curaga to one of the hotkeys for fast healling... ...

6. Try to get Ultima Weapon through synthesis...It helps to hav a powerful weapon...AND...Ultima Weapon comes equipped wif "MP Hastega" which FURTHER quickens ur MP recovery rate... ...

7. Try, try, try and try...NVR GIVE UP!!! IT AINT OVER TILL IT'S OVER!!!

Hope that wif this... ...Those that hav yet to defeat Sephiroth can someday overcome him...NO SWEAT!!!...like I did... ...

The rewards for defeating him are great... ...A new Keyblabe and cool cut scenes:

p/s: U can only fight Sephiroth once before he flies off wif Cloud to engage in another epic battle...So if u wanna fight him again or see the cool cut scenes again...or BOTH...I suggest u sav a separate file before fighting and continue the game in the other file... ...

Finally Sia... ...

2007-03-16T16:40:00.000+08:00

Lol...Finally got our pay...They made us wait so long sia...they got ready more than two weeks after we submitted our checklists...And if that didnt delay stuff long enough...Jia Wei had to go on an unannounced vacation to Bangkok... ...And me being the loyal friend that I am, opted to wait for him to come back to collect our pay together... ...BUT, it did not end there... Jia Wei could not collect him pay right after he returned to Singapore as he had to work for his dad and could not go collect his pay... ...If the agent did not threaten to send back the cheques we would not get it today...most probably hav to wait to tml... ...

That Kelly Services (lol...suggestive name huh? *smirk*) also ah...We waited more than two weeks leh...cant even wait 5 days for us... ...That Jia Wei lah...because of him...we ended up later than Kelly Services...make me so pai seh to be later after scolding them repeatedly for being late... ...-_-

Here it is...MY CHEQUE!!! Not much lah...Temp job nia...wat u wan?

And here is a scan of my beloved cheque...I did not think scanning a check is entirely legal so I censored some parts...The cheque number...signature (DUH!) and of course...the ever important...PAY AMOUNT!!!(Censoring was a pain...had to box the parts up and paint black over it manually using paint...the program...not the real thing...) Personally...I dun think that they paid us enough... ...But then again...who is ever satisfied by their current pay amount? We always want more dun we...We can nvr hav too much money... ...lol... ...

Wats that?... ...Why do I hav to take a pic of the cheque if I hav a perfectly good scan of it? Why...I'm glad u asked!!! I very artistic mah... ...I put in a lot of effort into making to pic look cool and professional... ...I made sure that I took the pic of the cheque at an angle and that the cheque will also by at an angle to the table...This combination of angles will giv the pic a sort of high-class advertisement look...I spent a lot of time finding the perfect angle for the camera and the cheque...U wont know if I didnt tell u, but the cheque was not folded this way originally...I folded it this way to giv it a sort of "Just out of the envelope" or "Just recieved" and thus new look... ...I even ransacked my dad's drawers to look for that business looking fountain pen to make it seem as if the cheque was jus signed... ..And the high-class looking fountain pen made the pic look more...well...high-class... ...

This is less obvious, but I also spent a lot of effort(Not that much but...still a lot...)...on the scan...I made sure I boxed up the parts that needed to be censored neatly and perfectly... ...I jus boxed up wat I needed...No more...No less...I was accurate right down to the smallest pixel...REALLY!!!AND...Thats not all...U would notice that the signature is not COMPLETELY censored... ...I left out a bit of the top and the bottom... ...I censored the rest of the cheque perfectly as I wanted to giv it a professional business look...but for the signature...I wanted it to be special... ...I did not censor it fully as I wanted to giv it a "Hurriedly censored" look...To make it look like those censored Top Secret FBI documents shown on documentaries... ...So how?Artistic ah?Call me crazy will ya?... ...On second thought...dont... ...

OMG...Cant wait to cash in the cheque tml and go shopping!!!... ...Shopping the guy way...For guy stuff... ...

I'm Uchiha Sasuke... ...?

OH GOD PLS LET WAT THEY SAY BE TRUE PLS GOD OH MY GOD OMG PLS LET IT BE TRUE!!!GOD!!!!!!!

Before I proceed... ...Take a look at this... ...

Finished watching yet? WASNT THAT COOL OR WAT?!?!?!

Now... ...U know wat they are saying out there? Guess...come on...guess...u will nvr be able to guess... .... Guess wat? They are saying...that...Square Enix WILL produce Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories... ...in... ...ENGLISH!!!WOOT!!!WOOT!!!WOOT!!!

OH.MY.GAWD!!! At the moment...independent sources state that this is the case...However...Square Enix hav yet to officially confirm that an English version is indeed in production... ....However...Square Enix lack of confirmation is likely due to the fact that even the original Japanese version of Final Mix is not yet released over in Japan... ...But it is said that several dependable independent sources hav stated that it is true and that it might be due to Kingdom Hearts' overwhelming success outside of Japan that they decided for the first time to release an improved game in English(Several Square Enix and Square Co. games hav been improved to include extra goodies like more cut scenes, new weapons and extended storyline, these improved games hav nvr been released outside of Japan. Some examples are Final Fantasy X: International, Final Fantasy X-2: International + Last Mission, Final Fantasy VII: International and Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix.).

For those of u not in the know... ...Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix and Kingdom Heart Re: Chain of Memories and sold together as one package under the title Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+.Now I will briefly describe the improvements of Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ according to its individual components... ...

Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix

Additional Magic Spells:
So far I hav only seen one that is wind based(Not Aeroga)...It manifests as a tornado around Sora wif Sora floating in the eye of the tornado... ...I am not sure if this spell is offensive or not as I hav only seen it used to propel Sora into the air... ...After propelling Sora into the air...the tornado disappears.

New Drive Form:
Not much is known about this new drive form except for the fact that it looks similar to Sora's original costume in Kingdom Hearts if not exactly the same. From wat I hav seen of the new drive form...it has increased speed, maneuverability, and strength...not unlike Valour Form except for the fact that the new drive form uses only one Keyblade. I hav noticed that this new drive form also enables Sora to use skills from the original Kingdom Hearts (Eg. Sonic and Ragnarok) which is otherwise unusable in Kingdom Hearts 2.

New Areas:
New areas previously unavailable in the original Kingdom Hearts 2 hav been included to Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix... ...

New Cut Scenes:
New cut scenes hav been added to Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix which cant be seen in the original Kingdom Hearts 2... ...

Battle Organization XIII Members:
U can now battle all the Organization XIII members, including those who died during Chain of Memories, using Kingdom Hearts 2's battle system... There will also be new cut scenes during these fights... ...

Heartless Version Of Organization XIII:
There will be a new group of thirteen members which consist of Heartless in Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix...Sort of like a parody of the original Organization XIII which consist of thirteen Nobodies...Not much is known about this group except for the fact that they dress exactly the same as the members of Organization XIII(Black robes wif hoods) except they hav the symbol of the Heartless on the front of the robes... It is unknown wat species of Heartless are in this group...but from their shape and size...it is likely that they belong to the mushroom branch of the Heartless...as for wat type of Mushroom Heartless they are...it cant be confirmed...

Battle Wif Roxas:
One of the most highly anticipated feature of Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix is the replacement of the cut scene of Roxas battling Sora wif an actual battle...There hav been rumors spreading about the possibility of Roxas being even more difficult than Sephiroth himself... Trailers hav shown the battle wif Roxas having about the same number of health bars as Sephiroth(Which is A LOT btw... ...). However...I hav also seen screenshots of the battle showing Roxas having only 2 health bars...but Sora might hav already weakened him to that point for all I know. As for Roxas' attacks... ...they look EXTREMELY gay...he is extremely fast...he runs circles around Sora, dodging his attacks and rain blows onto him...He also has an attack where he speeds across the room leaving a wave of destruction behind him(Not unlike one of Demyx's attacks).He has also been shown using a combo that attacks 360° wif a range 2.5 times that of Sora's normal combo range. The most impressive attack so far is where Roxas flies in to the air and creates multiple crosses of light on the ground that surrounds him in a circle...he then shoots multiple beams of light outwards and onto the ground...this is done in such a manner that the beams of light resembles a dome...he then goes on to unleash seemingly endless balls of light at Sora by spinning his keyblade. I must admit that Roxas' attacks are most impressive and that his huge amount of health bars came as a shock to me...However...I must say that the rumors concerning Roxas being even more powerful than Sephiroth are totally untrue... ...First of all...Sephiroth is UNQUESTIONABLY the most power character in video game history... ...Secondly...If u look closely at the battle between Roxas and Sora...U would notice that although Roxas' attacks are flashy and continuous, the damage they deal is minimum. However, in Sephiroth's case...one blow from him can take away half or even more than half of Sora's health bar...And Sephiroth's attacks are not exactly slow too... ...In fact...his attack speed is on par, if not faster, then Roxas'.It is thus clear (At least to me)that Sephiroth remains unbeaten to this day... ...

Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories

When they say Re: Chain of Memories... ...they REALLY mean Re: Chain of Memories... ...It is MUCH MUCH more then ur average remake...It is Chain of Memories totally demolished and rebuilt from the ground the up... ...NOTHING in Re: Chain of Memories is recycled from he original Game Boy Advance Chain of Memories... ...The only things that were not completely new in Re: Chain of Memories were the 3D renderings of the characters from the original Kingdom Hearts and some of the skills that were used in the original Kingdom Hearts...Other than that...everything else is brand spanking new... ...

New Battle System:
The battle system for Re: Chain of Memories hav NVR been used in any of the other PlayStation 2 Kingdom Hearts games...And even though the battle system in Re: Chain of Memories is based on the battle system of the original Chain of Memories... ...NOTHING is recycled from the original battle system in terms of graphics...the card battle system in Re: Chain of Memories hav been revamped beyond recognition(Well...Almost... ...) and even the reaction command from Kingdom Hearts 2 hav been added to Re: Chain of Memories... ...

Remake Of Chain Of Memories Cut Scenes:
Every cut scene from the original Chain of Memories hav been remade into full 3D wif voice overs for every line... ...Kinda speaks for itself doesnt it?

3D Rendering Of Sleights:
As some of u might know... ...The original Chain of Memories features a sleight system that allows Sora to execute skills...these skills include Omnislash and Zantetsuken which is not executable in any other Kingdom Hearts games...In Re: Chain of Memories...these sleights hav been remade in full 3D...Hope that this means u will be able to see famous skills like Omnislash and Zantetsuken in their full 3D glory wif PlayStaion 2 graphics like nvr before... ...

3D Rendering Of Worlds:
Again... as some of u might know...the original Chain of Memories features worlds that are based on the the worlds of the original Kingdom Hearts game...but wif a twist... ...In Re: Chain of Memories... ....u will be able to see these special worlds in full 3D...this conversion stretches all the way from the springboards to the opening of doors using cards... ...Again...nothing in this area is recycled material as the Chain of Memories worlds is too different from the original Kingdom Hearts worlds even though they are aesthetically similar... ...and the fact that the worlds in the original Chain of Memories is displayed in 2D...it makes it impossible to recycle anything from the worlds of the original Chain of Memories... ...The only thing that is reused in the worlds of Re: Chain of Memories are the map of the worlds...everything else is again...brand spanking new... ...

For those of u who are fans of the Kingdom Hearts series...hope this has gotten u guys excited about Kingdom Hearts all over again... ...I certainly am... ...

Thank you Square-Enix for deciding to release Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix+ in English and if it doesnt happen... ...I would like to quote MajinSora of the YouTube community:

" dude now u got me anxious
i swear if it dosnt come out to the U.S. im gona drop a nuclear bomb on Japan"

MajinSora

Except for the fact that I dun live in the U.S. ... ...Oh well...u get the picture... ...

WHOOPEE!!!!!!!

2007-03-12T14:09:00.000+08:00

So... ... Yesterday, my Dad and I went to ITShow Singapore 2007 to buy me... ...*drumroll* ... ...A LAPTOP!!!WHOOP!!! Yup...u heard me...a laptop... ...although it is meant to be used for studies and all that once I enter the Poly... ...I am still happy that I got one anywayz... ...

It was PACKED yesterday at Suntec as ITShow Singapore 2007 was not the only one holding an exhibition yesterday, albeit it was the biggest one there... ...There were travel exhibitions, food exhibitions and even wedding exhibitions... but ppl were mostly headed for ITShow. There were ALL SORTS of booths at ITShow...ALL the BIGGEST names in IT were there... Sony was there...Microsoft was there...NEC was there...Fujitsu was there...HP was there...even the lesser known ASUS was there... ...

When I reached lv 3 of Suntec... ...i saw one of the BIGGEST booth that was there... ...It was BIG, it was COOL, it was AWESOME and in big shiny letters it wrote... ...PlayStation 3!!! WOOT!!! The PS3 exhibition was BEYOND cool... ...they had all sort of stuff there at the booths...They had six sets of PS3 out on display for anyone to try... ...TONS of HD TVs all around the place...and almost everywhere and on every HD TV...they were bragging about the advantages of the Blu-ray format and watnots... ...There was also a queue for ppl to come and collect the PS3s they ordered online...which was empty...looking at how the price of the PS3 hav yet to drop...it was understandable...oh well... ...it was still cool... ...

Directly opposite the PlayStation 3 exhibition was its arch nemesis... ...the Xbox 360... ...the size of its exhibition was comparable to the PlayStation 3's at first sight... ...BUT...if u look closely...u would notice that only about 1/3 of the exhibition was dedicated to the Xbox 360... ...the rest of the exhibition was displaying softwares like Microsoft Office 2007 and the various Vistas and hardwares like optical mouse and all that stuff... ...

The Xbox 360 exhibition can be described using one word... ...SUCKY... ...compared to the PlayStation 3 exhibition...it SUCKED... ...Here is a list of the difference between the PlayStation 3 exhibition and the Xbox 360 exhibition... ...:

Display of information

PlayStation 3:
HD TVs displaying information on the Blu-ray format and the PlayStation 3 wif neatly dressed salespeople around the place answering any enquiries the public might hav... ...

Xbox 360:
A shabbily dressed DJ wannabe wif a microphone shouting out the capabilities of the Xbox 360 and its price... ...to think that Microsoft actually hired a fishmonger to sell its products... ...Its an IT show okay...not a fish market... ...

Product Test Driving

PlayStation 3:
Two neat rows of PlayStation 3s hooked up to humongous HD TVs wif a variety of games available to play that is sure to entertain ppl people of all age and gender... ... Games include Sonic the Hedgehog, Ridge Racer and the critically acclaimed Resistance: Fall of Man... ...Neat queues were also formed behind each PlayStation 3

Xbox 360:
Xbox 360 sets sprawled all around the place randomly...hooked up to tiny Samsung LCD TVs wif only one game loaded...Xbox 360's last hope... ...Gears of War...Sheesh...Gaming industry newbies... ...

Surprisingly...Nintendo's Wii was nowhere to be seen... ...But on second thought...Nintendo does not deal wif anything IT so it would be weird if it showed up for the event... ...

The ppl test driving the consoles were mostly kids, not the teenagers as kids are the only ones thick-skinned enough to hog on a public display... ...soooo...sadly...I did not get to test drive the holy grail of gaming... ...The PlayStation 3...oh well... ...

We then went on to the 4th lv where all the REAL IT stuffs were... ...The place was HUGE, LOUD and PACKED... ...The moment I stepped in to the hall...I was pushed around and I nearly turned deaf from the sudden increase in noise level... ...But, besides the fact that every booth was playing their own stuff at full blast, creating a deafening mash of noise, it was great there...All sort of stuff were sold there...not jus desktops and laptops...there were selling accessories like laptop batteries, laptop bags, DVD-RWs and all that stuff... ...The prices there were also great...no CRAZY... it is like they are slashing prices every hour ...and towards the end of the exhibition...the slashing got more intense... ...it was nuts... ...

So we went around to look at all the laptops and we, or rather I, got stuck at two choices... ...Acer, or NEC... ...They were of about the same price but Acer's specs were slightly superior in terms of graphics... ...BUT...Acer was made in Taiwan but NEC was made in Japan, AND Acer laptops looks horrible while NEC laptops look stylish... ...It was a hard decision... ...Graphics or quality and looks? Then my father pointed at NEC's slogan , "No.1 Selling PC Brand In Japan". Then i thought... ...the whole of Japan cant be wrong... ...So i went ahead wif the NEC laptop... ...Dad said that we could always assemble a better desktop next time...the laptop has to be light and cool and it is meant for school... ...

We then went on to buy some other stuff like a wireless keyboard and mouse set to use wif the laptop at home as it is difficult to use the keyboard and touchpad of a laptop...might be buying a LCD screen soon to hook up to the laptop at home for easy viewing... ...

We also bought a DVD-RW set containing 100 DVDs to burn stuff... ...So Derick... ...I will be able to get ur sappy OC series on DVD after all... ...AFTER I finish DLing 10 GB/Series via BitComet... ...Did u know the first time I tried DLing season 1 I woke up to a com that told me to clear up some space to that it could even run?!

A Note To Leong Jia Wei:
U ASSHOLE!!!GO ON VACATION NVR TELL ME!!!DO U KNOW THAT KELLY SERVICES CALLED TO SAY THAT OUR CHECKS ARE READY?!?!?!AND DO U KNOW THAT I OPTED, OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF MY HEART, NOT TO COLLECT IT TODAY SO THAT WE COULD GO COLLECT IT TOGETHER?!?!?!AND DO U KNOW THAT MEANS I START PLAYING GUILD WARS AT A LATER DATE?!?!?!HUH?!HUH?!HUH?!AND DO U KNOW THAT MEANS I GET TO PURCHASE REI AND ASUKA AT A LATER DATE?!?!?!HUH?!HUH?!HUH?!AND DO U KNOW THAT MEANS I GET TO ENJOY AT A LATER DATE?!?!?!HUH?!HUH?!HUH?!

Objection!

2007-03-05T23:03:00.000+08:00

Lol...as u can see... i hav recently changed my blog display pic and BGM... ...For those of u not in the know... ...the pic shouts, "Objection!"... my favorite phase from my favorite Nintendo DS game... ...Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney! And the BGM is my fav one in the game...titled "cornered"... ...

Anywayz... ...here is a short review of the must hav DS game...u play a rookie defense attorney call Phoenix Wright(Duh... ...) and u get to go to court to fight cases...not only that...u get to collect clues on the case... like playing part-time detective! There are lots of cool features in the game that makes it so much different from other games... ...For example...during the investigative stages of the game... u not only got to question witnesses and look for clues...u get to use cool stuff like luminol spray to look for cleaned off blood stains and fingerprinting set to find and even match fingerprints wif those in ur database of fingerprints...cool huh?

But the investigative segments of the game pale in comparison to the intense (Somewat?) and mind-bending (DEFINITELY!) court trials... ...u get to cross examine witnesses...present new evidence and shout around in court once u manage to find a contradiction (Wat Phoenix loves the most... ...) to the prosecution's case! And the sound effects during the trials can really get one hyped up...wif the shouting of objection, the Judge's banging of his gravel and the cool BGMs (Me fav is cornered... as in i jus cornered the prosecution and is gonna whoop their ass!).

Currently there are only 2 Phoenix Wright games available for the Nintendo DS... ...Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney and Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney: Justice For All... ...Both are remakes of old Phoenix Wright games from the Game Boy Advance but they are already a hit wif western gamers that did not get to play the game when it was 1st released for the Game Boy Advance as it was not released out of Japan... ...Both games hav 4 case...and dun think that jus because there are only 4 cases per game and that they were originally Game Boy Advance games... one would be able complete it wif ease...that was wat i thought and boy... was i ever wrong...

I estimate each case to hav around 6-9 hrs of gameplay in them...and that is IF ur case goes smoothly... ...Jia Wei and I hav lost slp playing Phoenix Wright... ...But he still get more slp compared to me...he likes to save in between a case to continue next time while i prefer choinging through a case in one shot... ...HOWEVER...the 6-9 hrs gameplay per case estimate applies ONLY to the remake cases... ...NOT to DS exclusive cases... ...

Currently...there are 3 Phoenix Wright games for the Game Boy Advance... ...two have already been remade for the Nintendo DS...A Phoenix Wright game that is DS exclusive (Phoenix Wright 4) is already in progress...Although no DS exclusive Phoenix Wright game is released yet...we hav had a glimpse of wat is to come... ...

Together wif the 4 original cases in Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney ...there was a new, nvr seen b4 case in the first Phoenix Wright remake... ...This case is better than the original cases... its use of the DS's 3D graphic engine is much more extensive (360° view of objects)and there is a much wider use for the touchsceen (Applying luminol spray and fingerprint power). This case is also MUCH BIGGER...three times as many evidence...more than enough suspects...multiple crime scenes and roughly THREE TIMES LONGER(Exaggerating...maybe around 2 times... ...)! That would make the gameplay around 21 hrs(Exaggerating again... ...maybe around 15 hrs)!

To show how cool the brand spanking new Phoenix Wright 4 game will be...Capcom added this segment in the DS exclusive case where u can fast forward, rewind and pause a security camera tape to show a contradiction to the prosecution's case on the tape... ...

So...I am REALLY looking forward to the remake of Phoenix Wright 3 and arrival of the all new Phoenix Wright 4 wif all of its new features!!! Even though there is one thing i dun like about Phoenix Wright 4... ...the main character is no longer Phoenix Wright but some new kid... ...lame...Phoenix Wright game dun hav Phoenix Wright... ...

Mucus... ...

2007-03-01T09:59:00.000+08:00

Came down wif high fever early afternoon yesterday... ...started from running nose and a cold few days back... ...Feeling terrible... ...I hav not felt this terrible since i contracted dengue last year...hope it isnt dengue this time... ...Luckily...i dun hav any symptoms that is attributed to dengue like muscles aches and rashes other than fever...yet... ...Serangoon Gardens seem to be dengue central of Singapore, wat wif all the banners around and being listed as a dengue hot spot... ...

U know wat is the worse thing wif having fever and a cold? It's not the constant heat radiating from ur body... not the lethargic feeling... not the sore eyes... not even the intense on and off headaches... ...The worse thing about falling ill is the MUCUS!!!Those GOD DAMNED sticky substances jus keep filling up the god damn nose... ...I had trouble sleeping because of all the mucus dripping out my nose... ...I was very tired and was feeling extremely sick at that time so i did not bother getting tissue or going to the toilet...i jus wipe my nose wif the back of my hands and rub them "clean" on my pillowcase and went back to sleep... lol... ...but the mucus refused to stop flowing so i resorted to covering my nose rills wif my fingers and went to sleep breathing through my mouth ...lol... ...When they say "Sick as a dog... ...". They really mean "Sick as a dog... ...", my nose was as wet as the wettest dog nose... ...

After slping for over 12 hrs i couldnt continue to do so but i still haven regenerated all my energy to play or watever so i went to the toilet to clear out the truck load of mucus stuck in my nasal cavity...but no matter how many times i blew my nose...more mucus will form... ...i had to blow so hard that i felt as if my brains were gonna spurt right out from my nose (The nasal cavity and the neurocranium is connected... Ancient Egyptians used hooks to pull the brains out of dead guys ready for mummification from the nose rills... ...) for my nose to be clear for five minutes...

I then went on to do something boh liao... ...I stood in front of the toilet bowl and faced downwards... letting my mucus slowly stretch towards the surface of the water in the toilet bowl... ...Turns out that my mucus can stretch all the way to the surface of the water without breaking in half... ...But once my mucus touched the surface of the water...the water pulls the mucus in, snapping the long line of mucus in two and causing my end of the mucus line to snap back into my nose... then it went on to resume stretching slowly towards the surface of the water once again... ...

There is one pleasure attainable from a cold though... ...And that is a loud and hearty sneeze... ...When u hav a cold... NOTHING... i and do mean NOTHING beats a great big ARCHOO!!!

Haiz...Secondary School Life... ...

2007-02-25T04:39:00.000+08:00

Jus came down from my room... ...I was trying to be a normal human today by attempting to go to sleep at 12 MN... ...I was rolling around my bed for about 3 hrs before i realized that I CANT!!! I CANT go to sleep so early... ...i cant go to sleep at anytime earlier than 3.30 AM in the morning... ...So i started jumping around my room(LITERALLY!!!) and plucking mangas and comics off my shelves and reading random pages until i saw something i haven laid eyes on for a VERY long time... ...

I saw... ...MY ADDITIONAL MATHEMATICS TEXTBOOK!!! THE HORROR!!!Then i went ahead to face my fears... ...

Me: "It has been a long time my friend... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "Ahhh...My old Arch-Nemesis... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "I hated u once u know... ...I even FEARED u... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "I was FORCED to READ u even though i nvr wanted to even TOUCH u... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "All that was for the sake of my 'O' Level Examinations... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "I thought i was gonna FAIL ur subject... ...That i was gonna LOSE!!!"

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "BUT!!!In the end... ...I WON!!!NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!EAT THAT U BITCH OF A SUBJECT!!!I WON!!!

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "I... ...PASSED!!!Cant believe that can u... ...?"

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "I hardly opened u... ...BUT I PASSED!!!"

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "... ...I MUST say... ...u were a WORTHY adversary... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "A few times over the days before receiving my results... ...IMAGES of me failing Additional Mathematics FLASHED across my mind... ...I thought that at the MOST i would get a D7... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "BUT I PASSED!!!MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!And it was not even C6... ...IT WAS A B4!!!UNBELIEVABLE HUH?!"

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "Considering how i barely even studied ur FREAKING subject... ...It MUST be attributed to my BRAINS!!!MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "Too shocked for words?"

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: "BAH!!!Sore loser... ..."

A. Maths Textbook: "... ..."

Me: *Slams A. Maths Textbook*

DISCLAIMER:

The above conversation is real and in no way fabricated... ...goes to show how bored i was... ...

I then saw my old (not THAT old actually... ...)Sub-Bio ten years series... ...then i decided not to disturb him... ...as i actually STUDIED and FINISHED (3/4 actually... ...) that book and got A1 for that subject...WOOT!!!

Then i saw the 'O' Levels calender that Miss Mok drafted for us... ...That i realized once again how much she did for us... ...even though i nvr gave that calender anything more than a few glances... ...I suddenly felt like thanking her...and even though she may nvr she this... ...THANK U MISS MOK... ...FOR PRINTING EXCELLENT NOTES, HOSTING INTERESTING(?) LESSONS and TRYING TO ANSWER MY MANY QUESTIONS THAT HAV BEEN DEEMED STUPID AND A WASTE OF TIME BY MY OTHER CLASSMATES!!!

The next thing i saw was the practice papers that Miss Joseph printed... ...then i realized...for the first time...that even though we gave her LOADS of crap (believe me when i say LOADS of crap cause we really gave her LOADS of crap... ...)...she took it all... ...ALL that crap and she took it all... ...And at the end of the day... ...she STILL found it in herself to print all that papers in an attempt to...at least...PRETEND to care for us even though she no longer did 2 periods after meeting us for the first time back during when we were all secondary three students... ...

I then realized that i might not hav deserved the results i got for my 'O' Levels... ...I mean...I was partying all the way to the end...even during the 'O' Levels exam period... ...i was not really studying and always found time to play... ...I always thought that i would go down in a blaze of glory... ..Sink, wif a smile on my face, wif the knowledge that i spent my last days having fun... ...But somehow i scrapped though...like all my teachers said i would... ...oh well... ...

p/s: I then proceed to hav my Wing Gundam Zero Custom battle my RX-78 GP-01... ...GP-01 won... ...but only because Wing didnt hav his trusty twin buster rifles by his side at that time... ...

My Fingers Hurt... ...

2007-02-23T12:39:00.000+08:00

Tips on how to make ur knuckles hurt like hell:

1.Set up a PlayStation 2

2.Insert a game disc (preferably one of the action genre)

3.Play for 9hrs straight

4.To ensure optimum pain... ...DO NOT release the PlayStation 2 controller under ANY circumstances

My knuckles hurt like hell... ...i started playing my PS 2 at around 3 AM and stopped at around 12 NN... ...not the first time i pulled an all nighter choinging a PS 2 game but this time my knuckles hurt more than usual... ...must be because of the game i was playing... ...

It was a long time since i last touched my PS 2 so at around 3 AM i decided to pull my PS 2 out and start playing... ...But i did not feel like continuing the games that i hav already played halfway as they were getting boring so i went through the games that i hav yet to touch... ...I decided on Ultimate Spider-Man as it seemed like a short game that did not require must time to complete...I was right... ...The game was freaking short...i mean...i started the game this morning and completed it this...morning lah... ...When the credits started rolling i was kinda shocked at how short the game was and how easy the last boss(Venom) was... ...Not counting the retries and aimless web swinging to explore my surroundings... ...i took about 6 hrs to complete the damn game... ...

Besides the unsatisfying length of the game... ...it was an overall okay game... ...i mean...Ultimate Spider-Man is pretty much the same as its predecessors... ...Same old punch kick combos...same old web swinging(all that button mashing for the web swinging and fighting probably contributed to my knuckles' injury).

The Spider-Man series for the PS and PS 2 haven really changed at all over the ages... ...the Spider-Man games have always revolved around fighting random thugs and villains from the comic... ...The web swinging and all that hav stayed pretty much the same too wif the exception of some tweaks wif the graphics... ...but hey... ...if it aint broke...dun fix it... ...

The web swinging for Ultimate Spider-Man is the most "freestyle" i hav encountered so far... ...Spidey in this game is much more maneuverable and he is more graceful...when he lets go of the webbing after a swing...he finishes off wif a somersault not unlike the one one expects him to execute... ...The web swinging of Ultimate Spider-Man is also the most realistic... ...he cant web swing if he is higher then the surrounding buildings...this realism can prove to be problematic at times as Spidey sometimes go splat if he cant web swing in time and smash head first into the concrete pavement.

There are SOME redeeming qualities to the new incarnation of Spidey though... ...such as the fact that u can go rampaging around as VENOM!!! WOOT!!! BEST THING ABOUT THE GAME!!! WOOT!!! Venom in this game is basically invincible as he has an ability that allows him to feed on humans to gain health(Some boss fights do not hav ppl around so as to make the match a little fairer) gay huh?This game is also the Spidey game that has the most epic battles... ...u get to fight Venom as Spider-Man...fight Spider-Man as Venom and fight CARNAGE as Venom!!! HOW COOL IS THAT?!?!?!

There is also FUCKED UP parts of this new game as well... ...such as race mode... ...race mode is a mode that makes Spidey jump though hoops around the city and his main rival to this event is his best super hero friend The Human Torch... ...Which is of course obviously unfair... ...cause The Human Torch can fly and Spidey cant... ...One such match wif the Human Torch took me around 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to win... ...

My knuckles still hurt... ...i am starting to think that this PS 2 choinging lifestyle of mine is unhealthy...but hey... ...No Pain, No Fun right? Right?Besides... ...my knuckles hurting could only mean that i am not well trained enough and all the more i should continue my choinging in hopes that one day i might attain gaming perfection... ...

FUCKITY,FUCK,FUCK!!!

Current Mood: KA NI NA BUEY CHAO CHEE BYE!!!

KA NI NA BUEY CHAO CHEE BYE!!!Haizzzz... ...

I left my house early this morning in an especially good mood today... going to Toa Payoh wif my work time sheet to collect my pay... ...I met up wif Lionel (the guy that replaced Jia Wei after he left for the poly thing...) and a friend of his there to hand in our time sheets to collect our pay... ...Jia Wei couldnt come in time because he lost his time sheet and was looking for it at home. No...it is not because Jia Wei didnt come in time that placed me in such a foul mood...i mean...i hav better thing to be worried about... ...

Anywayz... ...the events that led to my outburst of temper went along like this:

Me: *Steps into agency wif Lionel an Co.*

Lady: "How can I help u guys?"

Me: "Emm...we are here to hand in our time sheets and collect our pay... ..." *Hands over time sheet*

Lady: *Looks thought time sheet* *Looks at us... ...*

Me: (Wat the fuck is she waiting for? Where is our pay?) "Emm...so our pay?"

Lady: "Oh...that will be ready around Tuesday next week..."

Me: (WTF?!?!?!) "Wat do u mean...dun we get it now?"

Lady aka Bitch: "We need to process it before we can giv it to u..."

Me: (?) "Wat do u mean process?"

Bitch: "We need to see how many hours u guys have worked and then determine the amount u guys are getting..."

Me: (... ...) "The amount of hours we worked is written in the time sheet is it not?"

Bitch: "We need to process it... ..."

Me: "FUCK U!!!" *Leaves the place swearing like a sailor*

Haiz... ...this episode wif that bitch spoiled watever good mood i had this morning... ...spoilt all of the plans i had for this evening... ...Lionel and Co. then decided to go for a few rounds at the nearby arcade and asked if i wanted to tag along... ...wif all my plans ruined... ...i didnt see y not. We went to this dilapidated looking mall called entertainment(lame name... ...) that ,surprisingly, is a pretty well equipped despite its run-down look... ...it has an arcade and a movie theater (not bad huh?). We went to Zone X (the arcade situated there) and jus strolled around... ...the number of choices in Zone X is PATHETIC!!!... ...i mean... ..get this... ...THEY DUN HAVE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 4!!! Wats worse is THEY DUN HAV MIDNIGHT MAXIMUM TUNE!!!Those two games are like the top arcade games lah... ...instead...they go stock up on stupid games like street fighter (best money burner in arcade history besides metal slug... ...).So i decided to jus sit there and watch Lionel play the drum version of Beat Mania... ...he was pretty good and even has his own drumsticks (this might also be because the arcade drumsticks are always missing... ...)

I left the place without playing anything... ...i mean... ...besides the fact that the games there sucked bad...i did not bring any money along today CAUSE I THOUGHT I WILL GET MY PAY!!! ARGGGGHHHHHH!!! Jus the thought of it makes my blood boil... LITERALLY!!!

Wif nothing to do and a foul mood to dispel i went to the air-conditioned environment of the library and read some marvel comics... ...

Jia Wei then called to say he couldnt find his time sheet and he is worried that he might not get any money (god bless that old fool... ...) but as i was not in the best of moods at that time... ...i didnt really giv a hoot about wat he was saying... ...haiz sry lah... ...

Was really tired...so tired and fed up that upon returning home i did not even play com or PS or watever... ...jus went to bed and here i am... ...pouring out my sorrows... ...

... ...BEAM ME UP DR. SPOCK!!!

Now... ...Elmo will ask a BABY!

2007-02-15T22:49:00.000+08:00

The past four days (including today...) sucked BAD... ...I had to work wif only my lonesome self... ...cause Jia Wei was afraid that his 'O' Levels was not good enough to earn him a place in his course of choice which is Digital Media Design...so he needed to submit portfolios and stuff to increase the chances of entering that course ...See lah...bu du shu (dun study in lousy Hanyu Pinyin) then like that lor... ...He needed time to create that portfolio and all that so he took 4 days straight leave, leaving me to die of boredom alone... ...

Great... ...Jia Wei jus called to tell me that because of his long absence... ...he will be posted to another location tml... ...he will be working but not wif me... ...great...jus great... ...

Due to Jia Wei's absence... ...Coca-Cola has posted another guy call Edmond to replace him in assisting me... ...Edmond was quite a nice guy... ...geeky...nerdy...dumb and slow headed... ...kinda like Jia Wei... ...Then... ...the very next day he was switched...lol...He was switched wif another guy from another location as that guy was complained by the manager for slacking and arguing wif her... ...but it was actually not his fault... ...according to him of course... ...He was called Lionel... ...okay guy... ...spiked hair... ...dyed hair... ...cool glasses and braces (lol this last feature is kinda out of place dun u think?). He is the typical act beng teenager of Singapore... ...wif beng looks but not a beng inside... ...We got along quite well... ...Edmond and Lionel are both great guys but its jus not the same without Jia Wei lah... ...Nothing beats having a friend u can make fun of... ...put down... ...humiliate... ...scream at and diss at...Hor Jia Wei? :)

Okay... ...now that all the bad stuff are out of the way... ...ON TO THE GOOD STUFF!!!

Today... ...I saw the sweetest thing i hav EVER seen in my life... ...He is wat happened... ...

I got on bus 73 to head for home after work today... ...I was the 1st to enter the bus so i sat on my fav seat... ...2 seats behind the back door of the bus, by the window... ...After sitting down...I resumed the game of Final Fantasy III on my DS I was playing while waiting for the bus. Then...a father carrying a female baby around the age of 4 sat on the seat in front of me... ...the toddler was SO cute... ...she was the cutest living thing I hav ever seen (next to cats... ...I LOVE cats... ...hate dogs... ...and pretty much every other forms of life... ...). She has a nice pony tail (I love pony tails too... ...not that i wanna hav one... ...jus that gals look good wif them... ...) and cute features... ...But wat strike me most about her is her eyes... ...they were very beautiful... ...They were kinda round and big... ...the surface of her eyeballs were glittery too, there was jus enough moisture on her eyes to make them shine... ...not so much that they look watery and give her a sick or dying (lol... ...) look... ...and her irises were HUGE!!! Kinda like the ones the model for the Acuvue: Define contact lenses had... ...except for the fact that she was not using altered contact lenses to achieve such a look... ...

As her dad was carrying her... ...she was facing me... ...watching me play Final Fantasy III... ...She then went on to chant "bye-bye" and kept waving her arms at me... ...i then waved back while at the same time tried not to die at the hands of an Adamatoise (A reoccurring monster of the legendary FF series... ...FYI...I killed it... ...). The waving and chanting of "bye-bye" went on for around 5 min when his father told her not to disturb me and handed her over to her mother which was sitting wif the toddler's older sister (older by around 2 years...i think...) on the seats across the aisle... ...the toddler then did the unexpected... ...she started chanting "tuan peh shan"
LOL!!!For those of u who dun get it... ...tuan peh shan is "Brokeback Mountain" in horrible Hanyu Pinyin... ...Her mom then started laughing and told dad to listen to wat their cute little daughter was chanting... ...Talk about maturity beyond her years... ...she already knows about homosexuality at the tender age of 4... ...her parents must be proud... ...

Hearing her parents laugh at her baby sister's words... ...the older sister then started questioning her parent about the meaning of tuan peh shan... ...That is one question the parents will never answer her... ...

The older sister, after failing at getting her questions answered, went on to teach her baby sis
English... ...beginning wif, "E is for Elmo, Elmo starts wif E" , hence my post title... ...The baby gal then went on to ignore her sister and resumed her chanting of "bye-bye" to everyone on the bus, which was pretty entertaining... ...

Then came my stop... ...i disembarked after taking one last look at the cute kid... ...

p/s: I am NOT a pedophile ... ...I like curvaceous teenage gals...NOT undeveloped toddlers... ...-_- (jus to make it clear... ...)

DISCLAIMER:
Edmond and Lionel told me their names...not write... ...the spelling could be wrong for all i care... ...

Not Bad... ...

Rather be rotting... ...

2007-02-07T23:01:00.000+08:00

Work life is seriously boring... ...especially one wif a job like mine... ...i sure hope that the job i get when i step out into society is not like the one i currently hav... ...i much rather rot at home and play all day or something... ...this job is only at its second day and i am already bored of it... ...jus the thought that i hav to do this for another 10 days makes me wanna quit right away... ...the money is not exactly great... ...and the ppl i ran into does not really giv me any reason watsoever to stay... ...

Today was not like the other day where we jus had to stand around and giv out drink samples... ...today a new batch of drinks arrived from the Coca-Cola Company... ...and we needed to restock the drinks... ...

When i heard we had to restock the goods i was like ,WTF...we are only promoters wat... ...isnt this supposed to be to be done by the FairPrice ppl?But since we did not hav anything to do at the time we jus did wat they wanted loh... ...it was a fucking big mistake on my part to think that restocking drinks is an easy job... ...

We had to restock 4 aisles of drinks... ...restock our tent... ...carry boxes wif 9 1.5 liter bottles in them... ...after an hour of carrying drinks around... ...we were pissed... ...or rather... ...I was pissed (Jia Wei was still pretty calm... ...).And it was not jus the constant carrying of backbreaking loads that pissed me off... it was the stupid customers!!!They were asking me stupid questions like where is the salt... ...where are the vegetables... ...where to buy discount coupons (how the fuck should i know... ...-_-)... ...worse of all... ...HOW MUCH IS PEPSI!!!I mean... ...HOW MUCH IS PEPSI?!?!?!WHY THE FUCK PPL LIKE ASKING STUFF THAT ARE NOT RELATED TO OUR COMPANY?!?!I mean... ...PEPSI IS LIKE OUR COMPETITOR LAH!!!My fucking shirt reads Coca-Cola on both sides and a sleeve... ...ARE U PPL FUCKING CHEY MEH (blind in hokkien...i think...)?!?!WTF IS WRONG WIF U PPL?!?!I mean... ...ASKING COKE HOW MUCH PEPSI COST?!?!?!WTF DO I CARE ABOUT PEPSI?!?!?!

But the customers were not the thing that REALLY pissed me off... ... wat REALLY pissed me off is... ...KNORR CHICKEN STOCK CUBES (those stuff u put in soup to giv it a chickenie flavour aka chicken essence)!!!They had this TV near the drink aisles where we were restocking the drinks and the TV was BLARING a malay/chinese tune... and guess wat?THEY HAD THIS FUCKED UP CHICKEN THAT WAS CONSTANTLY CLUCKING!!!The chicken was clucking and clucking and clucking...and the TV's volume level was on full blast!!!U can hear that chicken from ANY point in the supermarket... ...I was tired...i was pissed...and there was this chicken that jus cant SHUT UP!!!I FUCKING FELT LIKE SMASHING THAT FUCKED UP TV!!!I wanted to stop the chicken from CLUCKING!!!

We decided to stop restocking the drinks and went for lunch at around 7:15 PM... ...then at 7:50 PM... ...our supervisor called Jia Wei to complain... ...He said that we should be back by now... ...-_- When Jia Wei told me wat he said i was like, WTF?!?!?!the break is 1 hr okay!Jia Wei was quite scared and asked whether we should go back... ... and i was like, HELL NO!!!We are given 1 hr breaks... ..By Jove we are gonna USE 1 HR!!!We went back at around 8:15 PM and there he was waiting for us to giv us the gangster scare routine... ...He was like, WAT DO U MEAN U LEFT AT 7:15 PM?!?!?! and i was like, U go ask Madam Seah lah (An old hag working for FairPrice... ...maybe spelled her name wrongly...but who cares... ...)! and he was like, I CAME AT 7 PM AND I DID NOT SEE U ALL!!!U DUN BELIEVE U GO ASK MADAM SEAH!!!Wah lao aaa~ i say ask Madam Seah first one right?Then he when on to say that we are not supposed to go for lunch together... ...(nvr say earlier... ...) and that he did a lot of work for us while we were gone... ... (left a few boxes say do a lot... ... we did like around 150 boxes leh -_-) and that we should not complain because 1 boy did 300 boxes wif him and did not say a word (300?Riggghhhttttt~ Even if u guys DID finish 300 boxes... ...u so Beng...he dare complain meh?). As i was giving him that tu lan (pissed off in hokkien...i think...)face...he gave me a lecture about how he could fire me and not pay me a single cent and how i can leave if i not happy... ...-_- First, if u fire me... ...u MUST pay me for wat i hav already done... ...it is against the law if u dun pay me... ...Second, i dun fucking need this job... ...i took this job as i was bored... ...and seeing that i am already bored of this job... ...i dun see y not... ...besides the fact that extra cash cant hurt of course... ...(: But he was not THAT bad as he put in a few good words for us in front of an even crankier superior... ...q:

The day was not a TOTAL waste though... ...cause, wif Jia Wei's help, i managed to steal one of Pepsi's transparent shoe bag (which is SO much better then the GAY handbags we are giving out... ...) that they were giving away as part of a promotion... ...Jia Wei wans one too... ... maybe we will get one for him tml... ...

Cuntomers 101... ...

2007-02-05T22:47:00.000+08:00

Today was my 1st day at work for Coca-Cola at the FairPrice outlet at Toa Payoh outlet... ...1st time i was exposed to the different customers of Singapore... ...Here is a short introduction to the various customers of our dear country... ...

Customers 101:

Customers are a species of Homo Sapien that roam are the land of Singapore... ...their land of origin range from the posh oasis of Orchard Road to the oulu (deserted in Malay...i think... ...)
wastelands of People's Park. As i was the 1st to discover this newly emerging species... ...i get to name them... ... I hereby officially dub them Homo Sapien Custimo!!! aka Customers... ...

1.The "browsers"... ...The browsers are the most common breed of customers...their most common form of activity is loitering around shopping districts, walking around aimlessly and looking for NOTHING in particular... ...When attempts were made to establish contact wif this specie wif simple words such as ,"May I help you?" and "Do you need any help?" the response given is usually ,"Jus browsing... ..." or "Jus looking... ..." or ... ...,"Jus browsing... ...". Judging from the limited amount of different responses given... ...i deduce that this particular branch of Homo Sapien is not too "intelligent"... ... so to speak... ...no no no... ...scratch that...they are pea-brained... ...

2.Kiasu Kia... ...this specie is quite common too... ...though not as common as the browsers... ...this specie base their choice of purchase solely on the free gifts given... ...if the objects purchased is not meant for themselves but is meant as a gift for others... ...their true nature will then be further exposed... ...they will not bother about the quality of the goods and only focus on the free gifts as they plan to keep those for themselves... ...[A lot of ppl decided to buy from Yeo's instead of coca-cola as they were giving away CNY(Chinese New Year...duh) trays and Pepsi shoe bags... ...*sighs*...*rolls eyes*...some ppl jus dunno how to recognize quality product...PPL...IF I AM SELLING SOMETHING...THAT IS QUALITY PRODUCT!!!] Another way to spot a Kiasu Kia is by the way it speaks... ...a Kiasu Kia normally say stuff like ,"Got discount?", "is it cheaper here?" ,"got link points?" and the ever popular "got free gift?"

3.Kiasi Kia... ...this breed is quite uncommon... ...they are afraid of everything... ...ranging from fears of the disability to carry too much shopping... ...fear of not having enough money wif them and lamest of all... ...scared the drink not nice... ...

4.The "Unreasonables"... ...they are wat they are called... unreasonable... there is no accurate method to describe this particular specie... i can only give an account of a run in i had wif one of them... ...

Unreasonable:"this one is it 3 1.5 liter bottles for $1.75?"

Me:(Siao Kia this one... ...3 bottles $1.75 we fucking earn wat?)"No sir,this is $1.75 per bottle... ..."

Unreasonable:"HUH?!Then y here put a picture of 3 bottles then write $1.75?"

Me:(Is this guy fucking kidding me?Got spastic till like that meh?)"Oh no sir...the picture is to show the three different types of drinks that is selling at the price of $1.75... ..."

Unreasonable:"Huuuuuuhhhhhh?Y lyke tat?CNY should giv offer waaattttt.................."

Me:(@&$$@^@#%#$@#$%!)"Haha... no lah sir... ...if sell u at this price our company wun be able to earn anything leh... ..."

Unreasonable:"AIYA...U all write lyke tat how ppl NNNOOOEEEEE?! Should change it laaaahhhhhh then easier to reeeeaaaadddd...right a nooootttttt?"

Me:(NAH BUEY CHEE BYE!!!KAN NIN NAH!!!MUTHA FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!!!)"Ya lah sir... ...is quite confusing... ...i will suggest to my boss to change the sign... ..."

Unreasonable:"Ya lah... good then quickly change ah!"

Me:(... ...)

Get the picture?(I'm not paid nearly enough to handle this kind of crap... ...I'm not even supposed to work loh... ...)

5.Blur Cock... ...those that do not know wat they are saying but say it loud and clear as if they are right... ...

An example... ...

Blur Cock:"How much is this bottle of 1.5 liter of Coke ah?"

Me:(...written there... ...)"That is $1.40 per bottle sir... ..."

Blur Cock:"But if buy two is $2.75 lah!"

Me:(huh?)"No lah sir... ...buy two bottles is $2.80... ..."

Blur Cock:"Huh...but got promotion waaaattttt... ...buy two bottles $2.75"

Me:(got such promotion meh?)"Huh?Sir... ...is there such a promotion?"

Blur Cock:"UR COMPANY PROMOTION U ASK ME AH?!"

Me:(... ...)"But sir... ...it is not written anywhere here that there is a such a promotion... ..."

Blur Cock:"U GO OUTSIDE SEE LAH!"

Me:(got meh?) *goes outside to take a look* (@#%@#^#^@!KNN!!!) *goes back in* *Deep Breath* *SMILE* "Sry sir... ...that particular promotion is for Pepsi... ...not Coca-Cola... ..."

Blur Cock:"... ..."

Me:"... ..."

Blur Cock:"... ..." *Walks away mumbling to self*

6.Speedster... ...they are called that as they treat the tent (the one where we sell the drinks on promotion) as a highway... ...For those who are mentally challenged...allow me to explain... ...Toa Payoh is a busy hub wif a lot of human traffic... ...as a result... ...walking through the streets of Toa Payoh can be like being stuck in a traffic jam... ...Our tent is a closed off area of the street where only ppl who intend to buy stuff enter... ...Thus... ...the inside of our tent is naturally less crowded then the outside... ...so there will be S.O.Bs that use our tent to gain a few meters ahead of the ppl in front of them... ...like a highway...get it?

7.Relatives... ...relatives get somewat excited when a young member of their family start work for the 1st time... ...today... ...three of my aunts visited my FOUR times... ...it was pretty embarrassing as ppl are soon able to recognize them because of their frequent visits... ...wat makes it worse is that they brought their dog... ...-_- and they forced me to pet it... ...(double -_-)... ...BUT...i forgive them... ...BECAUSE they bought a TRUCKLOAD of drinks that are under Coca-Cola AND because they gave me tip... ...FIFTY DOLLARS TIP!!!Ok ok...so it was not really a tip so much as jus squeezing a fifty dollar note into my hands and asking me to use it to "play and hav fun".Yup...I forgive them... ...:p

Luckily i did not meet the rumoured specie known as the OverBearers today... ...as in over bearing... ...cause if i do meet one of those... ...the second last liquidous substance that touches that guy's lips will be the coke from the coke can i will smash into his face... ...the last liquidous substance being the blood he coughs up after i am done wif him... ...then he will spend the rest of he life staring at the ceiling fan of the hospital while lying on the hospital bed clinging on to life wif a life support unit and salt water drip... ...

OK!!!So that concludes my report...Customers 101 (So it was not really 101...So sue me!!!).But wat i really hate about my job is not the customers i hav to deal wif but the fact that i hav become wat i hate... ...A badgering salesperson who is constantly asking ,"May I help you?" and looking over one's shoulder while they are shopping... ...Not to mention the fact that i hav to swallow my pride(which is HUMONGOUS btw and almost chocked me... ...it is thanks to my extra large mouth that i did not die of suffocation... ...) to constantly smile and speak nicely to customers... ...

p/s: Cant write the report about the DS Lite yet... ...Jia Wei haven lend me his digital camera... ...

Eventful... ...

2007-01-30T22:14:00.000+08:00

How was my day today? It was pretty eventful... ...two sizable events took place today... ...lets start from the top shall we?

I woke up today at around 6 AM... ...yes 6 AM... ...i normally start slping at this time but today was different... ...today... i had to go to F&N Coca Cola Pte Ltd (Singapore) HQ which is located at Jurong... ...I found a job recently... ...me and Jia Wei are now temporary staffs' of F&N Coca Cola Pte Ltd... ...

We had to FUCKING reach F&N Coca Cola Pte Ltd (Singapore) HQ (which may i remind u is located at Jurong...) at FUCKING 8:30 in the FUCKING MORNING... ...*deep breathes* Anywayz... ...our purpose there is to be trained ... ...to be made prepared for the promotions that F&N Coca Cola Pte Ltd (Singapore) is having that we temporary staffs are gonna handle... ...Sounded important and all but it turned out to be a FUCKING waste of FUCKING time... ...

As everyone knows... ...Jurong is not exactly a stone throw away from where i live (Serangoon Gardens... ...) ... ...and the journey from here to there takes about 2 hrs... ...when the lady in charge of all this told us that we needed to reach there by 8:10 AM and that we cant be late she asked us whether the timing was all rightwif us... ...-_- OF COURSE ITS ALL FUCKING RIGHT!!!I MEAN... ...IF IT IS NOT ALL RIGHT WE WILL BE FUCKING FIRED RIGHT?!?!?!?The timing isJUS RIGHT for us... ...i mean... ...we only need about 2 FUCKING HRS to get there right?Soooooo ... ...8:30 AM - 2 hrs (Traveling Time)=6:30 AM, 6:30 AM - 1 hr (Wash Up) - 1 hr (Breakfast)=4:30 AM... ...-_- THE FUCKING TIMING IS FUCKING ALL RIGHT WIF US!!!... ...I mean... ...we only hav to be awake by 4:30 IN THE MORNING RIGHT?!?!No biggie... ...we can handle it... ...

However... ...it turned out that we did not hav to wake up so early after all... ...Cause... ...Jia Wei's parents was worried that their bao bei er zi (Precious Son in lousy hanyu pinyin) will suffer from sleep deprivation... ...lol...So his dad offered to fetch us there so i only hav to wake up at around 6 AM... ...

So his dad drove as there... ...but we got kinda lost(not THAT lost...) halfway through the journey... ...so when we reached there it was about 8:37 AM... ... scared of the fact that we are already late i SPRINTED to the HQ... ...we quickly reported in and when to the meeting room... ...i was already getting ready to apologize for being late BUT when i entered the room i only saw 4 guys of our age and an old jobless faggot trying to find a temporary job(that guy looks seriously out of placelah...cause all the other 40 over ppl that arrived later were all teenagers looking job for the holiday to spend some extra cash while he is the only guy that was likedespo for the money...i think that there was another middle-age man too...times must be bad...)... ...Turned out that we were one of the earlier ones... ...so ijus sat there and try not to rot while Jia Wei played his thingy... ...

The lady later came at 9:30 AM... ...about now u should feel my anger seeping through ur computer screen... ...reaching towards u...if u are surprised at my sudden outburst of anger u must be the dumbest ass on EARTH!!! If u still cant figure out y i am outraged then let me provide uwif a recap... ...The lady said come at 8:30 AM and ,"Dun be late... ..." dun be late? DUN BE LATE?!?!?!? U FUCKING CAME AT 9:30 AM AND U HAV THE FUCKING CHEEK TO TELL ME NOT TO BE LATE?!?!?!... ...and guess wat happened next?She told us that the training would start at 10 AM... ...-_-

Then at 10:30 AM the training started (i didnt get mad this time cause i didnt bother liao... ...).
Anywayz they jus went though the basics of the basics like ,"dun be rude to customers!!!" ,"dun say u dun know!!!" and ,"remember that u are representing us!!!u must look representable!!!"
All this simple stuff and they took two hrs... ...

All in all the training was a gigantic waste of time... ...the only thing that happened during the training that was mildly entertaining was when the trainer mistook one of the guys for a girl cause of his long hair (seelah...thats wat happens when u act Ah Seng... ...)... ...

After that we went straight back to Serangoon Gardens... ...and picked my DS Lite up... ...yes... i brought a DS Lite... ...and to give u guys a taste of wat i went through to get this hunk of junk(actually not that bad... ...i kinda hate it because of how it is associated wif all things cute like Pokémon)... ...i shall commence the DS SAGA!!!

Jia Wei and I ordered the DS Lites last week and the uncle say that it will come soon and that he will call us when it comes... ...

Two days ago we received a call from the uncle saying that the DS Lites hac arrived... ...when we heard that we jumped for joy... ...or rather Jia Wei did(Derick can testify to that... ...)then we went to the shop in Serangoon Central to collect the DS Lites and guess wat happened?The uncle said that the supplier made a mistake by bringing one DS Lite in ice blue and the other in white(both me and Jia Wei wanted ice blue cause that colour was cute... ...dun look at me like that... ...i like cute things too u know... ...sometimes... ...). So the uncle didwat all cunning Singaporean shopkeepers would do... ...try and convince one of us that the other colours are jus as nice... ...we of course did not fall for that lame trick... ...The uncle tried to absolve all guilt on his part by saying that because the ice blue one was on top of the white one he assumed that both was ice blue... ...-_-

So we came to the conclusion that one of us must go home without the lovely DS Lite... ...there was a moment of silence where both of us did not say anything... ...i broke that silence by voluntarily giving up the DS Lite... ...i came home regretting that decision... ...when i saw Jia Wei's stupid MSN nick exclaiming his joy... ...it seemed as if he was gloating to me or something... ...at that moment... my regret grew deeper... ...Jia Wei was like ,"aiya nvrmind lah...u going to get it tml anyways right?"... ...i told that to myself to calm myself down... ...,"i will get it tml...I will get it tml..." and to further justify my decision to give up the DS... i remind myself that it was because of my heart of gold that made me give it up in the 1st place... ...:p

Then came the next day... ...the uncle said that the DS Lite would arrive at around 1 PM... ...it was already 5 PM... ...i got anxious and got Jia Wei to call the uncle... ...the uncle said that the supplier cant deliver the DS Lite cause the stupid delivery van broke down... ...i was like,"WAT THE FUCK DID U FUCKING SAY?!?!?! ARE U FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!?! U BETTER BE ,CAUSE IF U ARE NOT... ...THERE IS BLOOD TO BE SPILLED!!!"

I later went into a fit of rage(should be anger but rage sounds nicer :))... ...I am somewat ashamed to admit (rrriiiiiggghhhttttt... ...) that during that period of time where i was blinded by rage... ...i was cursing everyone i know so if u know me...I'm sorry... ...During that time i also made unreasonable demands like ,"WAT THE FUCK U MEAN THE VAN BROKE DOWN?!?!?! U ASK THE GUY TO FUCKING WALK HERE!!!TAKE TAXI OR BUS OR WATEVER!!!JUS FUCKING GET MY DS LITE HERE U FAGGOT!!!" (Come to think of it... ...if the supplier really cared about his customers...he would hav tried to find alternative methods to deliver the DS Lite... ...so i was not THAT unreasonable... ...)

So we went today and they finally had it in stock and i finally hav it wif me... ...woot... ...uploaded some cool games... ...my Shiba Inu(a type of dog) from nintendogs is now slping beside me... ...-_- I named it... ...Inuyasha(i wanted to type this out in Kana like i did in the game but the stupid OS dun support Jap typing... ...-_- BAH!)... ...i named it Inuyasha as the Shiba Inu is a Japanese Breed and Inuyasha is supposedly a dog demon(or half-demon) of that breed... ...

Thats all for today... ...

p/s: Next post will be about the great features of the DS Lite... ...unless something better comes up... ...

Sianz... ...

2007-01-27T02:28:00.000+08:00

Mood: Sianz... ...

I am reallying fucking sian now-a-dayz... ...doing totally nothing... ...

My typical time table for the day now-a-days is like this... ...:

6 PM: Wake Up... ...

6 PM - 5 AM: Fiddle around wif the computer... ...MSN wif some ppl... ...download some stuff wif BitComet... ...Watch some TV(there are some GREAT shows on TV after 12...like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia lol GOD!!!That show is fucked up funny... ...worth staying up to watch... ...not that i wun stay up even without the show... ...)... ...and when i am driven into a corner by the almighty enemy known as "BOREDOM"... ..i blog... ...like wat i am doing right this instance... ...

5 AM - 5:30 AM: There is a re-run of Friends at this time so i will stop watever i am doing and watch that classic... ...

5:30 AM - 6 AM: lol a show that is better than Friends in some sense called THAT ‘70s SHOW starts at this time... ...lol an hour of full-blown comedy...who could ask for more?... ...actually i can... ...Previously i mentioned that THAT ‘70s SHOW is funnier then Friends... ...i feel that way cause THAT ‘70s SHOW has lots of sexual references that is damn funny... ...however...cause of those sexual references... ...our fucked up censorship board of Singapore feels that they are too "obscene" and are "unsuitable for children"... ...thats wat they say anywayz... ...and because they deem them as obscene... ...they cut those parts off... ...and because of that i cant see the funniest parts of the show... ...those wif sexual references... ...and an already short 30 min show is further shorten to 22 min AT BEST!!! Sometimes the show could be shortened too less then 20 min(counting advertising air time)... ...I hav become accustomed to the board's relentless cutting of video content over the littlest of stuff but COME ON!!! THOSE ARE JUS JOKES U FUCKED UP BASTARDS!!!... ...the board must be made up of old geezers that hav nvr shagged anyone before... ...thus the offensive attitude towards anything related to sex... ...i mean... ...even if those jokes can turn kids into psychotic raping bastards(which is totally impossible... ...some adults seem to think that kids dun hav free will and jus act based on watever is on TV... ...) the show is obviously on an adult time slot... ...mainly watched by ppl who is damn sian like me... ...so the chance that an impressionable kid watching that show is nearly zero... ..i mean the show is up on 5:30 AM in the morning lah... ..wat are the chances of one watching that show?... ...the board takes away all the fun... ...

6 AM - 7 AM(?):Slack... ...fiddle wif the com some more... ...

7 AM(?) - 6 PM:Slp... ...

Boredom is catching up wif me again... ...omg... ...i should not have written this post... ...i should not hav written all this as i really did not hav any idea or clue wat to write so i jus wrote something in a whim... ...watever... ...dun wanna erase all this after all that work... ...dun worry... ...the next time i blog... ...there will be a solid topic... ...U can jus use this boring post to relate to how bored i am now... ...

p/s: Still bored... ...another hour and a half before Friends start... ...

Return To Forever... ...

2007-01-22T19:36:00.000+08:00

I hav finally done it... ...i finally took the time to finish my masterpiece... ...

Ladies and Gentlemen... ...i present to you the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero Custom!!!:

Before u proceed... i must warn u that i am about to go photo crazy... ...

I know i know... not quite painted and not as good as the ones on display that were done by pros... ...but it is still that Wing Zero Custom...wat can i say?Anyone who enjoyed the series would be basking in its beauty right about now... ...

A distanced view of the Wing Zero Custom... ...i was troubled by wat pose it should hav... ...there were quite a few obvious choices... ...like the pose of the Wing Zero Custom...executing its ultimate attack where it combines both of its twin rifles into one big doom machine and unleash death upon its enemies... ...

There was also this pose where the Wing Zero Custom holds one of the the rifles and act cool... ...

A close up... ...there was also that cool pose of it shielding itself wif its wings... ...totally cool... ...

A closer... ...close up... ...

Pls bear wif me... ...

So i decided to tweak it to the pose that i feel shows off its greatest asset... ...its angelic wings... ...No angel made by even GOD himself is as graceful and angelic as the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero Custom!!!This pose is known as the Return To Forever pose... ...may the Wing Gundam Zero Custom live forever... ...

I am gonna show some other pics... ...these pics are of the RX-78 GP-01 which is supposedly the Gundam whose base design blueprint is used in the development of the GREAT XXXG-00W0 [Source:Derrick (sooooo u are double "r" right? comment ur reply... ...)] [Sry... ...Derick's name only got 1 "r"... ...(Added on 23 Jan 2007 at 10:59 PM)]

I hav finished it long before i even started work on the Wing Zero Custom...but might as well show u guys wat the predecessor of the Wing Gundam Zero Custom looks like... ...:

p/s:I know the pic quality sux... ...must be Jia Wei's digi cam... ...or maybe my hand wasnt steady... ...?Must be the former... ...:) annnnnnnddddd WE FOUND A JOB!!!!!WOOT!!!!!!!It is as a salesman cum stock replenisher job... ...the pay not bad lah... ...AND THEY DOUBLE OUR PAY DURING OT!!!!!!!WOOT!!!Wif the money i earn by the end of this job... ...i would be able to buy Rei and Asuka home >.<... ...Sephiroth TOO!!!>.<... ...PLUS a Jap learning pack to beat my fucked up sis!!!WOOT!!!>.<

I'm XP-Tan... ...?

2007-01-21T01:48:00.003+08:00

Took this stupid personality test to determine which OS(Operating System u fool... ...) i am... ...
Turns out i am... ...

You are Windows XP. You are the newest Windows girl, and fairly popular. You’re pretty stable, and easily the prettiest of the bunch, but you can also be a bit shallow and you’re always hungry. Also, why does your name look like the irritated emoticon?

Oh well... ...it IS my fav OS and is the one i am currently using... ...

Virgin Nation... ...

2007-01-19T00:04:00.000+08:00

I sometimes see myself as a seer... ...yes a seer... ...soothsaying is one of my many "unknown" abilities... ...and today i got a premonition... ...a very strong one in fact... ...i can see that not long into the future... ...Singapore will turn into a Virgin Nation... ...a Nation where no one hav EVER experience any orgasm of any sort... ...

Singapore has always been known to be a very conservative nation... ...no porn...minimum prostitution...no playboy magazine...and no erotic content watsoever on the media... ...be it the telly or printed materials such as mags or art books...even our radio DJs are told to watch their mouths... ...

There is a hated dept in the govt that decides wat gets to be shown and wat CANT be shown... ...this dept is known as the CENSORSHIP BOARD!!!*doom music plays in the background*Everything that is to be read or watched goes through that shadowy organization... ...and in order to keep the minds of our ppl "clean" they censor off or cut off parts of shows... ...sometimes even banning entire shows and printed materials... ...

Anime are one of the board's fav targets... ...often... ...the fav anime of our ppl is censored,cut or even banned entirely in our chaste nation... ...Few among us hav been courageous enough to stand up to the board... ...to speak for the ppl... ...and that few often fails... ...Those brave renegades often end up in jail,have everything in their name erased or simply disappear without a trace wif no apparent reason watsoever... ...the board carries out their punishments...leaving nothing behind to suggest their presence... ...And it is because of these occurrences that none are now brave enough to fight for our freedom to view uncut and uncensored anime... ...

However... ...because the anger of the anime viewing,otaku populace has been seeping constantly into the dept... ...the board has made its move... ...it has changed its policy... ...it announces that anime will no longer be cut or censored... ...but before any of our brethren can rejoice... ...the board announces that instead of cutting or censoring anime that is not accepted in our conservative society... ...it will now completely ban unaccepted anime... ...It means that instead of having a few holes missing in ur fav anime,each hole lasting between seconds to whole scenes,ur fav anime will now be completely removed from local airwaves and store shelves... ...Banning anime in the guise of removing censors and disallowing cutting of anime to keep our minds blank...such is the cunningness of the hated board... ...

Other form of entertainment that is banned throughout our sexually clean nation is pornography of any kind... ...However... ...the ban of pornography is a decision made not only by the board... ...that decision is backed by the ever powerful and ever feared GOVT!!!*Doom music plays in the background...now much louder*The govt has banned any form of pornography watsoever in our nation using the phrase "keep our children's minds clean" as their reason... ...Pornography...however...is not JUS a form of entertainment... ...it contains ESSENTIAL information that our children NEEDS... ...it teaches them the basics of human life and teaches them how to ensure the survival of our species... ...The govt has created sexuality classes to replace the need of pornography...and have even request that parents take responsibility to teach their children about sex... ...But hav the govt ever considered how are parents and teachers going to teach the children sex?Are the teachers or parents supposed to use their own bodies to give examples?Sex is a delicate subject that is better learned by oneself... ...but by locking all sources of pornography away... ...all the teaching materials of sex is rendered unavailable... ...Parents and Teachers can nvr teach as much about sex in ten years as a 30 min porn video can... ...For now... ...the majority of the children of our chaste nation learn of sex the illegal way...the Internet... ...while the minority remain as clueless as ever... ...But sooner of later...the govt WILL find a method to block all access to pornography... ...including the Internet... ...Then...our later generations will not be enlightened about our ancient method of human reproduction... ...the govt will then go to the next step... ...banning all sexual activities completely... ...*men of Singapore gasps simultaneously... ...*And because of our nation's lack of sexual knowledge...and the nation-wide ban on all sexual activities... ...the only legal...or rather...the only known way of carrying on our family lines will be to create test-tube babies... ...many will not be able afford to create test-tube babies...and slowly but surely... ...our nation's population will dwindle... ...spelling doom for our nation... ...Those who are left are those who can afford the large cost of creating a test-tube baby... ...and those are the same ones who nvr engage in sexual activities... ...

All this i see using my all seeing eye... ...wif the occurrence of these predicted events... ...the nations of the world will dub our chaste nation...Singapore...the Virgin Nation...and our country will be pitied by all... ...

DISCLAIMER:
All this must be taken as a parody... ...DUH!!!

WOOT!!!FF-X MINI-GAMES SUX BALLS!!!!!!!

2007-01-17T01:25:00.000+08:00

before we go into further details about the unhappy day i spent wif the FF-X min games... i shall point out that i have changed my blog BGM from another side to ONE-WINGED ANGEL!!!WOOT!!!EVERYBODY!!!WOOT!!!ya i know so fast change liao hor but i couldnt resist... ...ONE-WINGED ANGEL ROXS!!! i changed the BGM for the following reasons:

1.ONE-WINGED ANGEL ROX!!!(if u dun know wat one-winged angel is... i deduce that u hav been living under a rock all ur life... ...)

2.SEPHIROTH ROX!!!(if u dun know who that is u should go color ur room wall red wif ur head as u hav wasted away ur whole life by not knowing the existence of this magnificent being... ...)

the BGM WILL be laggy...at first...cause streaming a mp3 into ur com is going to be stressful for it and the fact that the mp3 is hosted externally does not help... ...oh well...thats the way it is wif free hosting sites is guess...but ur com should be able to take it(if it cant go buy a new one dammit...).Wait for the song to be streamed completely and the rest of the loop should play smoothly... ...

Anywayz... ...back to sucky FF-X mini-games... ...dun get me wrong i LOVE the game... ...it ROX...but the mini-games to unlock the ultimate weps' "potential" aka "remove the no AP ability" is down right FUCKED UP!!!If i ever see the mother fuckers responsible for the production of the FF-X mini-games i will fucking...BITCH SLAP THEM and make them complete their own FUCKING MINI-GAMES!!!and i will set a time limit for those bastards...not completed within 3 hrs and they will be personally treated to my personal brand of torture,stripped to their balls and left outside Square-Enix headquarters... ...

Why the extreme reaction u ask... ...that means that u have nvr played FF-X MINI-GAMES U FUCK SO DUN FUCKING SAY THAT I AM OVERREACTING!!!those who hav played the game and tried to unlock the ultimate weps will agree wif me...i'm sure...if u dun agree...U R NUTS!!!

Anyone who does not understand my WRATH is invited to my house to try the mini-games personally...i GUARANTEE that u will fucking swear like nobody's fucking business within 10 min...15 if u are a extra calm person... ...

The mini-games are fucking IMPOSSIBLE lah!!!take Tidus' sun sigil for example... ...u are supposed to ride a Chocobo through a course and attain a timing of 0:00... ...there will be balloons around for u to pick up...each will shave 3 sec off ur final time...sound easy?guess wat?FUCKING BIRDS WILL FUCKING FLY TOWARDS U TO FUCKING KNOCK U!!!and each bird adds 3 sec to ur final time...sounds fair does it not?trust me...it is fucking unfair... the value of 1 balloon does not = the destructive powers of a single bird...yes...in theory...getting a balloon will erase the effects of a bird but when the bird hits ur Chocobo...the Chocobo loses balance for a moment...it takes 1.8 FUCKING sec to recover from a blow from a BIRD god dammit a BIRD!!!1.8+3=4.8 sec lah!!!that is like two balloon worth of time lah!!!and Square Enix forgot to mention the the birds are HEAT SEEKING!!!YES HEAT SEEKING LIKE THOSE FUCKING MISSILES!!!AND THEY FLY FASTER THAN THOSE FUCKING MISSILES!!!u can FUCKING run but u cant FUCKING hide...no not from THOSE birds... ...and guess wat?u cant use the fucking sticks to control the Chocobo...u hav to fucking use the D-pad... ...and the Chocobos run straight no matter wat... ...and it can turn back...it is like driving a car going at 200 km/hr and the car has no brake pad...and there is a fucking 10 ton weight tied to the fucking acceleration pad...once u miss a balloon...thats IT!!!AND THE BALLOONS ARE FUCKING SCATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE!!!!!and trust me...they are fucking thinly spread...the fucking birds come after u like doomsday machines while u hav to go pick the balloon up personally... ...great... ...oh and did i mention that FIVE fucking birds fly at u at ONCE!!!there is no way to fucking dodge them lah!!!and at the worst of times the Chocobo goes into auto-pilot mode...like when u hit a invisible boundary or when the Chocobo is doing a hard turn... ...those times need accurate maneuvers and they go into auto-pilot... ...-_-more often then not they anyhow turn and delivers themselves to the homing birds... ...-_-

there was this time i got 0:04...-_- was so fucking close that the thought of smashing my ps2 right there and then crossed my mind... ...then i remembered that my life force is in there and i held my hand... ...

there is also the fucking mini-game in the thunder plains for the dunno wat sigil for dunno who... ...for those who are ignorant... ...the thunder plains is a place where lightning is constantly striking down at u...and u can dodge the lightnings by pressing the X button jus before the lightning hits... ...easy enough so far... ...BUT in order to get the dunno wat sigil u must dodge TWO HUNDRED CONSECUTIVE LIGHTNING STRIKES!!!still quite easy... ...BUT the lightning strikes are totally random... ...the interval between two lightning strikes can anything between 2-10sec... ...so that means that u must keep ur eyes glued to the screen AT ALL TIMES!!!...still...it sounds easy...i can keep my eye lids open for quite long a period...BUT after u factor in the 200 CONSECUTIVE lightning strike dodges that u need in order to obtain the dunno wat sigil and the 7 sec being the average time between two lightning strikes... ...it means that u need to keep ur eyes open for 7x200=1400,1400/60=23.333333333..........min...that is almost HALF AN HOUR!!! GOD DAMMIT I SAY!!!!!!!

there was once i got to the 75th lightning strike... ...kana distracted...u know wat happened next... ...i have nvr touched that mini-game since... ...

the rest of the sigils can be obtained through reasonable means... ...like defeat all Aeons and win some Blitzball thingy... ...wif the possible exception of the Macalania Woods mini-game where u hav to catch blue butterflies and avoid red ones... ...i got through that one so i shall not bitch about that one... ...

So that concludes my bitching for the day... ...do come back for more!!!

p/s:if anyone i know passed these mini-games b4 can come help me play? PLS!!!!!!!>.<

Getting Fired Is Part Of Life... ...

2007-01-12T22:09:00.000+08:00

Me and jia wei will be fired come next monday... ...i hav to admit... ...it is all my fault that we will be fired... ...I am jus too efficient a worker :)...since i joined jia wei the effectiveness of the team has more than doubled!!!I am sometimes jus amazed at wat i am capable of... ...when teachers tell me that there is NOTHING that i cant do if i set my mind to it... ...i fully agree wif them and nvr doubted wat thay said even once!!!:D But... ...there is the problem of me not setting my mind on anything... ...EVER:(... ...I MUST say... ...i am a very blessed person(in the cosmic(?) sense of the word hor not the religious sense... ...) i am physically fit(I try to bully as often as possible... ...that might explain my superior physique? LOL), I command a large amount of respect from those around me(i dun find myself at the receiving end of raining fists... ...rather i find myself introducing my fist to ppl a lot...should be a fair gauge of respect...no?),i am intelligent(i jack ppl a lot...should be enough proof of my superior intellect(?)),i am SUPERIOR(i find myself dissing,criticizing and laughing at other ppl a lot...that means i'm better then them right?) !!!

Anywayz... ...enough about my divine self... ...as i was saying... ...because we finished work fast because of my presence... ...we will now be fired early as well :D... ...Not that we wont be fired even if we did not finish fast because of the presence of the deadline... ...ANYWAYZ that is not important!!!wat IS important is that because of me (and because of the deadline but still mostly because of me)...we will be fired on monday... ...we will try to find another job lah of course... ...at home very sian wat and extra cash has nvr done any harm watsoever to anyone... ...still not use how to go about finding one but will try... ...ANY help will be appreciated... ...

On to another fav subject of mine... ...ANIME!!! Since i started watching anime(which was god knows when... ...) the main genre that i watch is fighting aka action animes...like Inuyasha and Naruto...even the mangas i read is mainly action types...like Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist... ...action based animes/manges and commonly draggy and repetitive... ...to give u an example... ...Inuyasha... ...find jewel fragment(s),fight Naraku,lose to Naraku,lose fragment(s),find fragments,fight Narak.....................................................u get the picture... ...Only a few action animes and mangas have ever escape the black hole of repetition...like the legendary Neon Genesis Evangelion series,the seriously underrated One Piece(the infinite amount of infinitely different worlds/islands nvr cease to amaze me... ...),the original Digimon Adventures(i think i fell in love when i first laid eyes on WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon... ...LONG LIVE TAICHI-SAMA!!!) and Card Captor Sakura(dun u dare laugh at this choice... ...).Even Naruto which is one of my favs is getting FUCKING draggy and boring(due to the anime fillers hor...not the manga...the manga still going strong...).I used to read non-action mangas years ago like Love Hina and Shaman King but now...i spend most of my time reading mangas or watching animes that are famous which is usually the action types which are draggy...i hav already committed myself to following the Naruto series all the way but when this manga/anime called Bleach popped up and ppl started telling me to try it i was like,"here we go again... ..." to me...it is jus another title that uses the ever-popular action recipe... ...which has been used again and again since i can remember...and frankly...i am sick of it.Long gone are the days that i can watch an anime like Digimon Adventures care freely...so are the days where i can read a manga like Love Hina without so much stress on my brain trying to figure out plots as thick as an elephant's semen... ...But all this changed recently... ...jia wei introduced me to Midori Days...a manga series on par wif Love Hina and anime series called Kyou Kara Maou (God(?) Save Our King! is its eng title... ...) that is as wacky as Ken Akamatsu's brain is... ...these titles hav opened a whole new range of doors for me...now i find myself looking for mangas like Negima!: Magister Negi Magi oppose to mangas like bleach in bookshops... ...in fact now i shun mangas/animes like Bleach and find myself supporting animes like Eyeshield 21 and even rooting for the publication of english versions of Eyeshield 21 in Singapore in Chuang Yi forums... ...these titles are full of spirit...unlike titles like Naruto(anime) and Pokémon that try to milk cash like there is no tml by creating endless deviating story arcs... ...

BACK are the days i can watch/read stress free animes/mangas wif a carefree spirit!!! HURRAY TO SEIJI!!!HURRAY TO SENA!!!HURRAY TO NARU!!!AND HURRAY TO ME!!!

Fuck Ur Mum... ...

2007-01-09T22:28:00.000+08:00

Pardon the coarse post title... ...it does not really describe wat is written here... ...its jus that there is so much that i wan to write but dun wan to go into detail...i couldnt find a common title for all the subjects that will be brought up here so i jus named this post after wat first came into my mind which is,naturally ,"Fuck Ur Mum... ..."

Anywayz...lets continue with the actual contents of the post rather then harp on the bogus post title... ...

1.I GOT A JOB WOOT!!! jia wei ask me yesterday whether i wanted to go work wif him and of course i said yes cause spending all ur time replying FFs can bet boring...believe me...The job is to repack glass cups(shall not bore u wif the details... ...) and we will be fired after packing all the cups(although it will be some time before we are done as there are still ,like, thousands of boxes of cups left to be packed... ...)As we are paid per hour... ...me joining in would shorten the time needed to pack the cups and thus result in jia wei getting lesser overall pay...but he still invited me(how nice) it also does not help that i am a super efficient worker... ...when jia wei worked alone he packed 20 boxes...today i came and we did about 65 boxes... ...i more then doubled the number of boxes done per day lah(i should get promoted loh... ...or at least double my pay and dock jia wei's?LOL).It is hard work lah... ...cause it is manual labour and i was born wif a PLATINUM spoon rammed into my mouth lah so not used to manual labour... ...it is not really emotionally, psychologically or physically stressful but still it is hard...it is hard cause the job damages ur fingers like FUCK...i have pianist class(as in C class,B class,A class not like lesson class... ...this is to help the denser readers... ...) fingers lah my fingers very delicate ok?and very vulnerable to pain... ...jia wei said he needed handiplast for his job cause his fingers would get cut so i assumed that it was because of the glass cups... ...turns out that it is the cardboard boxes that hurts the fingers(shall not delve into details...)n then cut the fingers lah...which is worse... ...I hate it when bare skin is expose to the elements...and my fingers are sensitive loh...

The pay is ok i guess... ...not very high... ...and if i factor in the injury of my fingers... ...i would say...$50 per hour...but life is like that...manual labour is cheap labour... ...oh well...at least now i can bring home Sephiroth... ...

2.Yesterday i went on msn wif Andrew... ...at 3 in the morning...the time there was 7 in the morning...the next day...cause US time 16 hrs ahead of us...Anywayz....we decided to try our web cams...was quite cool...could see his hotel room, him...and his singlet...could hav done more but he had to leave for a test(hope u did well in that!!!).With the web cams i can see him change...he can see me change...i can see the US...he can see my living room... ...then day after day after day...i can see him slowly turning into a nigger... ...he said that hor not me... ...will not hav much chance to do that because of the time difference and him signing in only once every 6 months... ...but i can always hope ,ya?I think that i will be pretty much the only guy online when he signs up because of the time difference...cause i am the only one psycho enough to be up so late...oh well... ...

The farewell at the airport was pretty emotional for me(not boo hoo hoo emotional cause i will nvr be caught dead crying at farewells but still...emotional...)... ...not everyone was there but most of the good friends were there...making the event pretty...no no no VERY memorable... ...almost...ALMOST brought a tear to my eye we he walked through that departure gate...and i realised that he will be halfway around the world... ...for a long time... ...

OMG look at me getting all emotional... ...i only hav one thing to say to andrew now... ...FUCKING GET USED TO UR LAPTOP U FUCK!!!AND SEND ME THE FUCKING PHOTO!!!

3.i watched the arena today...not that i wanted to catch the show or anything(the show does not interest me AT ALL)...jus that when i switched on the TV the show was on... ...The show SUX... ...first round was Loh Yang(dunno whether correct spelling...dun give a fuck...jus know that it is a lousy school like ours... ...) sec VS Raffles(can remember spelling because of my job...shal not elaborate... ...jia wei knows y... ...).Raffles is about why effort is more important than look...watever sec is why looks is more important...jus to let u know...i was like,"WTF?!?!?!RI is like SO gonna trash the wats-its-name school..." after hearing them speak i was even more convinced that raffles will win...Raffles' presentation not very good but should still win because LY sec's presentation...SUX the 1st speaker was like jus beating around the bush all...nvr really saying y looks is important... ...i tell u ah i fucking hate wats-its-name sec and their speakers... ...especially the second speaker...she was this fugly pui(fat in chinese dialect) bitch...she fucking act lian...her oppenent was this tiny, indian RI boy and she looked like she was bullying him throughout the debate... ...and when the boy was speaking and she kana jack she give some stupid lian face... ...-_-i must really commend the boy loh... ...not on his speech but on his ability to hold in anger...if i was that guy OR his teammate OR an audience...i would fucking BITCH SLAP her the moment she fucking give lian face...and i wont stop slapping till she cant give any type of face...let alone a lian face... ...Lou Yang sec really sux...their presentation got no concrete evidence loh...and they keep giving lian attitude... all three of the bitches... ...RI team was so much better...not that i wan RI to win or watever or that i like RI but Lou Yang seriously sux... ...they had the BALLS to say that david beckham earn more than ronaldo... ...-_-

I think be now...after reading wat i wrote so far...u know that ways-its-name sec won...even after saying that david earn more than ronaldo... ...which is a fucking big mistake lah... ...who dun know ronaldo earn more than pretty much every footballer now(dun come tell me u dun know...i will fucking knock that info into ur skull... ...)?When they announced that LY sec won i wa like,"WTF?!?!?!WTF?!?!?!WTF?!?!?!"i really said that...in front of my mom... ...But i am somewat glad that RI lost... ...IN THE FIRST ROUND!!!LOL THAT WAS SO DAMN FUNNY LAH after u think about it... ...About time they lost... ...and to lose at the first round should deflate their inflated ego... ...ABOUT TIME I SAY!!!!!

Everybody's Changing... ...

2007-01-08T00:07:00.000+08:00

Fuck i hate my father... ...this post is suppose to be about today and because of him it is now a post about yesterday... ...F*** him... ...

Anywayz dun tok about him liao the more i think about it the most fustrated i am and those who know me knows how i am when i am fustrated...i jus go on and on...

Anywayz the situation i am in now reminds me of the song,"Everybody's Changing" sung by Keane... ...it goes something like this,"everybody's changing but i still feel the saaaaaammmmmeeeeeeeee... ..."somewhere along those lines lah i too lazy to go listen to the song now... ... any wayz...some are going to JC, Andrew left last friday...derick left YESTERDAY(because of my father it has become yesterday's news) those not going to JC are doing their individual jobs... ...i am the only one left that is not moving on,so to speak,i am the only one that is slacking off at home not doing anything wif my life... ...not registering for any schools... ...not earning any extra cash(not that i need any...jus wan to experience a commoner's life LOL :D).
jus rotting off at home playing and playing and playing... ...

anyways enough about my sad existence... ...so today... or rather YESTERDAY(did i mention that i hate my father?)me and jia wei went to see derick off yes...only me and jia wei cause the rest of u dick heads had stupid reasons like WORK *rolls eyes* i mean if good friend can ask ur boss to fuck off...quit...then go see friend off right?oh well... ...guess some ppl jus are more in need of money then i am... ...i jus need money enough money to buy a Sephiroth figurine... ...which like only one day pay... ...yes i must say i am one that is easily satisfied... ...

Anywayz back to the subject at hand... ...1st went to derick's house... ...i carried my ps2 there cause he didnt bring his from KL... ... jia wei came later... ...didnt really play much ps2 cause mostly helping derick to pack... ...i noticed that his dad is still calling me by the nickname he gave when i when to derick's house during sec 1... ...here is wat happened... ...

During sec 1 i called derick...rick cause shorter wat and better to shout wif like,"OI RICK U CHEE BYE!!!" or "RICK!!!" or "RICK BUY CHICKEN BURGER 4 ME!!!"... ...u get the picture... ...so derick went to tell his dad i called him rick...till this day still dunno y he did that... ...anywayz i went to his house one day and his dad ask me y i call derick,rick.So i say shorter lah then...he call me nerd...as in leonard... ...-_-since then i hav stopped calling derick,rick... ...but his dad still dun seem to mind calling me nerd... ...-_-

Anywayz... ...his father damn funny loh...when the neighbour asked whether they needed help his father asked whether he could borrow the boot of his car lol cause his boot no space liao...he say dun need the car jus the boot...then the neighbour say he can lend his trolley...can tie behind car... ...

and when derick's younger sister couldnt find the watch that derick's mom brought for her yesterday and started scolding her... i was like telling jia wei,"now u know why i nvr take off my watch?" then derick's dad heard us and was like,"now u know y i dun wear a watch?" lol

after packing we wanted to play ps2 lah then dunno wat to play then derick decided to play the path of neo game i brought from JB...then the CD cocked up...then without thinking i was like,"WAO LAO!!!STUPID M'SIA CD!!!THE SECOND ONE TO COCK UP LIAO STUPID COUNTRY!!!" and derick was like ,"my parents haven leave yet... ..."lol at that time got 1,2,3,4,FIVE m'sians in the house loh verse me and jia wei lol and u all know jia wei is useless in a fight lol... ...derick's mom proceeded to do wat derick has been doing for the pass few days... ...saying how good m'sia is and convincing me to study there... ...-_- and his father's employee was like saying that he was going to hump tump me(whack or bash in malay).

derick's parents then left with the employee and his sister... ...then we proceeded to play some mindless game called leisure suit larry or something like that lol until derick's older sister walked in on us... ...then we sat taxi to copthorne or something where derick is going to take a coach to KL... ...then they no spare cash to pay the driver lol...actually derick gave me 15 dollars to buy some pre-paid card(lol supposed to be secret but ur family members not reading this blog right?) but he decided to let jia wei pay lah lol but they did return jia wei the money later cause he was whining about the money and the stupid DS he was going to get (PSP ROX!!!)... ...
then we had lunch... derick treated me and jia wei to banana split (dun like to owe ppl money... ...-_-)which was nice lah considering the fact we didnt give him something like we were supposed to... ...

then came the time for him to go ... we waved goodbye and watched him go up the bus... ...then go toilet... ...when we came back we saw that the bus was still there so we went to the windows to wave goodbye again... ...i notice some ppl in the bus staring at us as if we were nuts(BUAY SONG AR ANG MOR LANG?!?!?!)...then we went bus stop loh

when at the bus stop i was waiting for the bus derick was on to drive pass so can wave again(siao hor?)but despite waiting for 1/2 an hour the bus didnt drive pass so i figured that the bus went towards another direction... ...oh well... ...

me and jia wei stopped over at J8 to go comics connection for awhile... ...i am damn glad that we did cause they were having some promotion where anime posters were at $1 each...the usual price is like $5 each loh(not that i rely on discounts... ...but if got discount...why not?)i brought 8 posters... ...got one piece...evangelion...naruto and most importantly... ...i got a poster of REI IN A BIKINI!!! WOOT!!! DAMN GLAD WE MADE THAT STOPOVER!!!i used the money that derick gave me to buy the pre-paid card to pay for the posters...didnt wan to break the blue note:) aiya dun worry lah derick,i ask from my mom money to buy loh... ...

then we went home... ...on the way home i forced jia wei to practice being my sidekick(LOL!)i forced jia wei to practice the,"does he look as if he cares" routine... ...he still sux lah but got improvement liao... ...so if u ask me anything stupid... ...we are prepared wif an adequate response... ...i sometimes feel that we or rather i am very bo liao...anyone else thinks that?... ...on second thought...dun answer that... ...

so here i am writing this post lor...a post about today but technically... ...yesterday(did i mention wat my father did?)

p/s: Andrew...if u are reading this can send me the photo we took at the airport ASAP?thx... ...

BTW...one of the most unbearable things to bear is to keep in a crap when u need to take a crap...jia wei would be glad to elaborate on that wouldnt u jia wei?

My Tummy Hurts... ...

2007-01-03T20:43:00.000+08:00

My Tummy Hurts and before i go into further details... ... this is how i got my tummy hurt:

the other day...jia wei came to my house to play... ...a few hours after his arrival... we got damn bored of the ps2 so i went to use my com to go surfing... ...jia wei was bored so he went and ransack my drawers...he found something that tweaked his interest...it was two giant pencils...the type that was meant to be on display only...not for use...

the two giant pencils had covers or caps on them as they were very sharp and long and could poke an eye out...while i was surfing the net jia wei went and proceeded to poke me at my sides...as a reflex action...i twisted my hips and moved away from the pencil...seeing my reaction...jia wei was amused and laughed commenting,"hahaha,now lets try it without the cap on..."

he took the cap off and proceeded to poke me at my sides again...i then instinctively twisted my hips again...but this time the cap of the pencil was taken off...the razor sharp tip of the pencil then slit my tummy spilling my guts out...

today...a scab has covered the wound...it looks like it will form a scar...if it forms a scar...i will...FUCKING SILT JIA WEI'S TUMMY WITH THE SAME PENCIL TILL HIS GUTS SPILL OUT THEN PROCEED TO MAKE SURE HIS WOUND FORMS A SCAR THEN FUCKING KILL HIM!!!

thats all for today...bye bye... ...

I Love Saddam... ...

2007-01-01T01:04:00.000+08:00

First of all...new year but not a happy one cause i spent the whole at orchard while i could hav spent the day playing my ps2...which would make the new year a happy one...

Anywayz...Saddam is due to be hanged within 30 days for crimes against humanity...which i feel in my opinion (i stress IN MY OPINION)is based on an totally unfair trial...the so-called "operation: iraqi freedom" that the american govt initiated is actually a sham (in my opinion).Oil prices hav been hiking steadily for quite some time now and iraq is a country full of it...america is one of the most oil dependent countries of the world...it is small wonder that they will attempt to gain a certain extend of control over iraq.To me...the claims made by the bush administrative errr claiming that saddam possesses WMDs(weapons of mass destruction) is totally false.

Now...to smash those claims...FIRST...WMDs were nvr found despite the large effort put in by the US army to find them...very suspicious...and when that is compared to the fact that the "sources" that revealed the existence of these non-existence WMDs(pun intended) was nvr revealed doubles the suspicion.Very suspicious becomes HIGHLY suspicious...And to attack a country based on claims of possession and development of WMDs such as mortars, chemical weaponry and germ weaponry or even conventional weapons is highly hypocritical for a country such as the US.Cause the last time i checked... ...the US hav in their possession hundreds of thousands(the highest amount in the world...i think...)of nuclear warheads which is the most powerful weapon known to man the last time i checked which makes it the most destructive weapon on earth.Hmmmmm i THINK that makes them go under the category of WMDs making the US guilty of possessing WMDs...no?Sooooo should we start rallying forces from around the world to attack the US?

And the charges brought to saddam hav some problems too.He is sentenced to death for causing the deaths of thousands...which i TOTALLY agree that he should be hanged for that but... if u look at it at another angle...those deaths can be seen as casualties of war...if one should be hanged because of the casualties of the war they started...then according to the stuff i last checked...operation: iraqi freedom is called a war against terrorism which is a war the last time i checked and is started by mr. bush...the last time i checked...soooooo should we hang mr. bush tml?And the officials handling the trial are former enemies of saddam that were brought to power by the US govt so they MUST be somewat biased against Saddam sooooo the suspicious piles up... ...

TO ME the US is either being a bully because of their superior military strength...or they really think that they are the leader or police of the world in that wacked out dream world of theirs...

If u wan oil BUY IT dun starts wars because of ur SUVs(sport utility vehicle).

Armageddon?

2006-12-30T00:20:00.000+08:00

Singapore is one of the most uneventful country in the world...we hav no world known celebrities, no amusement parks, no earthquakes, no floods, tornadoes and etc.

In an attempt to make our boring nation more "vibrant", we build so called integrated resorts equipped wif rides and a universal studios thingy.However due to our small amount of land i predict that the IRs will jus be an over-advertised party area jus like...wats that place called...oh escape theme park.I, for one feel that escape theme park totally does not live up to its name...their stupid advertisements dun even get a good look at the rides and only show people having fun at the rides-_-.that give a false impression of the place.People tell me that the place,quote'"DAMN FUN AHH THE RIDES AR VERY EXCITING ARRRR!!!"SO not ture.I went there to take a look cause i was bored one day and when i saw those rides i was surprised...EXTREMELY surprised.The rides there u can find at ANY pasar malam loh.those that are not made to be there permanently and and not of a certain standard and they dun even hav a proper roller coaster..LIKE THAT STILL FUCKING DARE CALL IT A THEME PARK?!?!

And ppl still tell me that going there was a fun experience.Seriously some ppl need to go out more go see the world dun everytime stay in singapore all the time...some ppl will say that they not very well to do and no money go to countries like australia to see place wif proper attractions but no need go so far wat can jus visit our neighbour malaysia wat...not very ex wat...they got the ,sunway lagoon is it? dunno is correct name or not, they got indoor roller coster leh like when u walking around the shopping mall then suddenly the roller coaster will fly above ur head wif ppl screaming...exciting right?even malaysia hav stuff like this...and we are supposed to be far more developed then them. so go...go out od singapore this holiday...dun be a siang ba lao (country bumpkin in chinese).

And the universal studios they are buliding...i predict that it will end up like disneyland in hong kong...ppl will get excited at the beginning and all the tickets will got sold out but after awhile ppl will realize that the universal studios in singapore can nvr compare wif the ones america cause the size of their universal studios or disneylands is so much bigger then their asian counterparts(wif the exception of disneyland japan which is damn big and the disneyland they are going to build in korea which is going to be much bigger then the ones in america).soon after the opening hype of the singapore universal studios ppl will abandon the place loh and when they say that they plan to draw in tourist wif the IRs i laugh at their stupidity...why would ppl fly all the way to singapore to go to a universal studios much smaller then the one they hav in their own country?

SO back to our country being uneventful...we nvr had anything to worry about in our peaceful country...even during the tsunami incident we spend our days playing and laughing at the tsunami cause we have countries like indonesia and malaysia to shield us from the waves=D.

However...recently things seem to hav changed wat wif the floods, landslides and the earthquake in taiwan ,somewat, affecting our lives.i feel that we are not as vulnerable any longer.We used to brag that we hav a superior drainage system and that it is impossible for floods to occur in singapore and look wat happens now floods and land slides...

we are supposed to be the first country to be totally connected to the internet but an earthquake half a continent away shuts down our internet completely...and it took our "advanced" ISPs so long to fix the problem(mind u the internet is still somewat laggy).LOL while ppl all around the world worry about floods and earthquakes,we worry that we cant play online games...lol.

AND, last but definitely not least...OUR PLACE AS BEST AIRPORT IN THE WORLD IS ROBBED!!!Damn it lah we were too contented wif our position for way too long...and the media is still trying to comfort us wif news articles wif headlines like,"not 1st but still very good"-_-I DUN CARE IF WE ARE GOOD,I WAN TO BE 1ST!!!Cant remember which country took our position...would wan to visit it one day to see how good it really is.

We are like the Titanic (to me lah),supposed to be the best,the most luxurious and unsinkable but looking at the recent events we might be sinking after all?lol jus musing...dun pay attention to that.

Our country is often viewed as impregnable due to our lack of natural disasters and military agendas,but quite an amount of unfortunate stuffs hav took place recently...therefore i predict that Armageddon is coming, THE END OF THE WORLD. lets all evacuate to mars...

End of senseless ramblings...

SO the drama... ...

2006-12-27T00:12:00.000+08:00

Did not even TOUCH my PS2 yesterday decided to take a short nap instead straight after finishing yesterday's post which was round 6am... ...woke up at around... ...9pm...

HAH! a, wait... ...1,2,5,10...FIFTEEN HOURS NAP!!!Beat THAT!!!A 15 hr nap who the hell can beat that?!huh?!huh?!huh?!that was not even me slping lor was jus a nap loh omg i must be the greatest slacker EVER!!!

Anywayzzz on to the topic at hand... ...i wanna tok about drama today...cause my mom woke me up at 9 wif the sound of ppl crying in a korean drama(all the females in my family ar total k-drama JUNKIES!!!they cant live without k-drama...they are like crack addicts that suffer from withdrawal symptoms like foaming at the mouths if they go a week without k-drama).i was so pissed off lah cause i was like slping peacefully then suddenly woke up because of the sob story of some korean bastard(I FINALLY KNOW HOW TO SPELL BASTARD it is:B-A-S-T-A-R-D,BASTARD!!!lol found the word in the sea of vulgarities in Xia Xue's blog lol pretty useful ah her blog =D).As is was saying i was rudely wakened by the sound of a man crying(god i hate crying man... ...-_-)so i was like,"aiya fuck it lah might as well find out wat this gay was crying about..."SO...wat WAS he crying about?!?!?!I tell u ar u can nvr guess it one ah(if u are a k-drama junkie then maybe u can u arse...).He was crying in front of his older brother... ...asking him to,wait for it wait for it the punchline is coming,BREAK UP WIF HIS GF CAUSE HE IS IN LOVE WIF HER!!!!!LOL!!!!!come on everybody LAUGH!!!lets ALL laugh at how pathetic that BASTARD is!!!LOL!!!And he goes on to KOW TAO(kneel and beg lah in chinese)to his own bother and ask him to break up wif his gf saying that the older brother can live without her but he CANT!!!I was like,"WTF he no sense of shame AH?!?!"

And that brings us to today's discussion... ...lousy dramas of the world...

Around The Dramas Of The World In One Post:

1.First Stop:KOREA!!!(duh!)

i would like to say that ALL who enjoy or produces k-dramas are SADISTS!!!(my father agrees to this opinion of mine...)Correct me if i am wrong but virtually ALL k-dramas end up wif a less then happy ending...the female lead dies/go crazy/loses memory...male lead goes blind/contracts cancer/DONATES some part of his body to save the female lead AND DIES DOING IT(awwwwwwwww aint that SWEEEETTTTTT)

BUT THE WORST is still to come... ...they might be SIBLINGS!!!*squirms*their incestuous relationships includes between those of step, half, and actual siblings... ...the reasons for the immoral relationships ranges from the fact that they are long lost siblings so dun know is siblings TO the fact that the god damn hormones were already raging since they were 10 and when they reached 20 cannot take it anymore and jus FUCK each other's brains out.WAT THE HELL IS UP WIF THE KOREANS AND THEIR SIBLINGS?!?!most k-dramas contain incest relationships, be it subtle hints or BLATANT exhibition of it wif lustful moans of ,"OPAH!!!OPAH!!!"(brother in korean)... ...sometime it might not be direct family members but cousins which is still considered as incest for ur information... ...

Therefore all k-dramas SUX!!!wif the possible exception of winter sonata which was real good and the female lead was cute*wolf whistles*BUT the male lead went blind at the end so not perfest ending also...

K-COMEDIES on the other hard ROX!!!cause they dun hav any fake stuff in them(God i am not toking about goong or jing san soon hor they are seriously NOT funny),i am toking about flims like My Sassy Girl.they portray wat korean society is REALLY like now...apparently...females now RULE korea...i went to korea recently and the tour guide was saying that ALL k-dramas is a sham and that no korean girls are so sweet like those in the dramas and in korea they rule men's ASS!!!they hav sugar mommies there NOT sugar daddies...the streets are void of ANY whores but filled wif gigolos(NOT TRUE HOR JUS JOKING).

aiya we were all deceived by their seemingly innocent cries of,"OPAH!!!"

2.NEXT:HONG KONG!!!

i like hk dramas lah i really like...shows like zheng ching(wat is the eng name ah?... is it family matters?).their story lines rox loh...they fucking like to sabo each other one leh then got ALOT of misunderstandings lol i like to see them misunderstand each other and blame each other silly while the villain smiles silently at the corner...OF COURSE i also like the part when the villain is revealed and gets wat he/she deserved(i stand up for justice one okay i jus wan the victims to suffer for awhile for my enjoyment=)). lol i still remember one part in zheng ching where ah may ate SOIL as in dirt to REPENT!!!i was loling all the way then loh...hk dramas was way up there as the best asian dramas way before korea came into the picture and attacked wif their bimbos.BUT hk dramas is getting repetitive wif the saboing plots getting boring and too many eps to keep track(zheng ching had more then 200 EPS OK!!!).the comdies are still funny though,like the jie da huan xi(also dunno eng name...joy and happiness?)the one acted by hao yi(fat lady wif a mole on her fore head).

3.THE WORLD'S POLICE...THE ICON OF FREEDOM:AMERICA!!!

i am disgusted by how ppl can even compare asian dramas wif american one loh wif those like prison break, lost and friends...(some not REALLY drama but got dramatic elements wat) mediacorp should use ALL the money they use for producing local show and import western show...we seriously dun need half-baked local dramas...

4.THE RISING DRAGON OF ASIA*rolls eyes*:CHINA!!!*backgound booing*

WE SHALL NOT WASTE EVERY ONE'S TIME...THEY ARE ALL FUGLY AND SPEAK FUNNY CHINESE...THEY SUX*background cheering*

5.Last AND DEFINITELY Least...THE SMALL ISLAND COUNTRY THAT SHOULD NOT BE PRODUCING ITS OWN SHOWWWWSSSSSS:SINGAPORE!!!

ALL OUR ACTORS ARE FUGLY(although not as fugly as those in CHINA)

ALL OUR ACTRESSES ARE FUGLY(ditto the above...expect for Fiona Xie, she is HOT...go ahead... call me shallow..i AM a guy...)

OUR STORY LINES SUX!!!

WE ACT FUNNY BUT NOT FUNNY!!!

FELICIA CHIN HAS FUNNY LIPS!!!=D
