何ちゃ　これは？

2011-01-02T19:40:00.004+08:00

Looks like several months have passed since I posted here. I just cannot find the will to post anything anymore. XD

Plus, its not like I have anything worthy of posting up here anyway. hahaha

Guess its pretty obvious, I keep to myself. I don't like to share everything I do to the world. Well, call me selfish. XP Or perhaps I just value my security and privacy.

Facebook is dangerous. And people don't seem to be aware of it. Of course, the minority are aware, but my point is that it really is too... 'Open' per se. As long as someone is your 'friend', that person can simply monitor you, stalk you. What you've done, where you've been. Its a scary thought. Or you can just call me paranoid. Then again, I'm entitled to be paranoid. I've been on the interweb long enough to know the tricks people pull. The insane things they can think of. In a place where one does not need to show a face, is a dangerous place indeed.

The world needs to be more alert regarding such matters.

Wth, I must be really bored if I type about such matters. Ah well. I guess that's all folks. I don't think I'll be posting much here anymore anyway.

Those who want to contact me, well. You know how to. ;]

Goodbye blog. Sorry I never updated you often, and didn't do much maintenance either. But it was fun while it lasted.

and Happy New Year.

Ciao. Dasvidanya. さよならー

2010-06-13T22:49:00.002+08:00

Yes, I'm posting after... Three months? Yeaaah... I'm a bad kid I know. XD

Anyywaay... Decided to tinker with the blogger templates. And I whipped up a background which looked good on PAPER. Issh.

I don't think most people can see it, as its fitted for widescreens. As in laptops and such. I shall rectify when I can... CSS coding is... Blur. @.@

I should be getting back to work now. 8D

May'n Big Waaaave Asia 2010 Tour - KL Stop

2010-03-09T11:00:00.004+08:00

I just got back from KL last night. So I'll update this now. XDD *yawns*

Do please take note that this is the first time I went to KL, and the first time I attended a concert.

Six of us, most of us college people, attended the event.

So basically, we took the Aeroline bus. =D Pretty alright.. Food was nice. Especially on the return trip. Subway FTW !!!

Anywaayy... I'll recap on the first and second day.

First Day - 7th March 2010
Woke up at around 6:45am
Cze Yang called, he didn't know where my place is, so I drove out to the Q-Zone area and brought him here. I took a shower, did some last minute checking, then headed out to Queensbay at around 7:20am
Collected tickets at around 7:50am and waited inside. xD
Kelvin came at around 8:05am, and the others arrive about ten minutes or so later.
Chatted, and blurred for a bit, then the bus came. We found our seats, and proceeded with our first order of business - Sleep. XD
The first movie was Surrogates, followed by Aliens in the Attic. I've only seen the former, but I already have the latter. So I basically slept through the trip, and played a game of chess against Cze Yang.

We reached KL at around 1pm
Got of the bus, and we stood under the shadow of the bridge. Then, where to?
Yeah, we got lost within two minutes. Awesome isn't it? XD
Of course, I have my trusty phone with GPS. Don't forget asking the guards. We managed to find the Monorail without much difficulty.
I must say though, I thought the monorail was quite cool. XD Yes yes, I'm a 'kampung boy'.
Anywaaayy... Got off at Masjid Jamek, then went to the LRT. Took the LRT to Sultan Ismail, then walked to Tunes Hotel. A 5-minute walk. =D

Checked in, left our bags, then me, Kelvin and Teoh went to collect the tickets. We decided to walk there. Whick took 15 minutes. And of course, it was... HAWT. Sweated all the way there.. Best part was, when we got there, THERE WAS ALREADY A LINE !! =O And it was 2:45pm

You read right, people were already waiting. We were like what the... So, we collected our tickets, rushed down the stairs, called the others, and took the LRT to the hotel pronto. Took a shower, changed clothes, then we all left immediately. Yes. At 3:15pm.

Reached at around 3:30pm
The line had grown a bit. So we stood in line, and sat down. xD Which was what everyone was doing. Oh yeah, we visited the merchandise counter. And we each bought a T-shirt. XD And two glowsticks ! So, we went to the store at the bottom, bought water, and a pack of cards. Then... We played card games and magic tricks while waiting. xD

The hours went by, and the line was all the way to the toilet. O.o Scary stuff...

Finally, 7pm came. And we all went into the concert hall. We're not allowed to take pictures in the concert hall. So I won't upload any, but I'll upload the ones I took outside. We were in the third row, and the place is not that big, so we got a nice full view of the stage. AWESOME. =D

May'n 's logo was nice. I can't upload anything sadly, so will have to wait till they authorize it. So anyway, we waited another hour for everyone to pour in, then it started at 8pm.

The dancers were coool. Two guys and two girls. I only remember one of their names though sadly. XD Then there was smoke, and there was May'n right in the centre of it. Needless to say, everyone was screaming and waving their glowsticks like their lives depended on it. Thankfully, the air conditioning was really really cold. So I practically didn't sweat through the whole thing. XD

The music was... Well.. Eargasm. If such a word exists. The bass was just.. Woah. It makes your heart skip a beat, and your whole body shakes. Yes, I looked for the bass woofers, and... Well. It was bigger than me. @.@ And there were four.

I honestly wasn't really a big fan of some of the songs in her Styles album, but hearing it live... Well, changed everything. XD In my opinion, the most epic song was... You know it, and love it - Diamond Crevasse. The crowed went more ballistic and insane when she started. Me included. XD

After several songs, she said bye bye and left the stage. I probably guessed it was a set up, but everyone screamed for an encore anyway. もいっぱい　to be more precise. XD When the crowd was nearly hoarse, Lion played. And suddenly we all screamed again. xD During one of the intermissions, she was speaking her rehearsed lines in english, then switched to japanese... Which then... Well, she cried. Yes, the epic voice of Sheryl Nome from Macross Frontier, cried. I roughly understood what she said, thanks to my japanese classes. I believe everyone was moved by her speech.

The concert ended with 射手座☆午後九時Don't be late. I kept one of the confetti as a souvenir. xD People were reluctant to leave I guess, but 80 people were pre-selected to have an autograph session with May'n. Guess what, out of our team of six, three got it. Me included. =DDD

So yes, we stood in line, showed our ticket stubs, and proceeded to get the autographed poster given by May'n herself. I said that her concert was awesome in jap XD And shook hands. Kelvin and I thought we should go laminate our hands. xD

You know what even better part is? Since three of us got the autograph, the other three waited outside, and got interviewed by Animax. XDDD They're going to appear on TV in April. XD

Well, needless to say, we talked about the concert all the way back to the hotel. xD Then had supper, then... ZZZzzzZZzzz....

I think I'll continue Day II in another post. Kinokuniya!!!!~~~ =D

Till my next post Space Monkies. =D

'Diamond Crevasse'

Of Life

2010-02-27T20:24:00.002+08:00

Greetings once again my fellow orange space monkies, to my humble abode. I have made many empty promises for this blog, and for that, I apologize. Time doesn't seem to allow me to multi-task college, gaming, work, reading, blogging, painting, writing, anime and manga all into 24-hours.

Ah well.

As most of you already noticed, the layout was changed weeks ago. Sadly, I still do not possess the capability to make my own template. And probably won't have that ability for the next few years.

My life has been... Eventful per se. In quite some aspects. XD
So I shall summarize it here.

College : After this semester, I only have three left. Which is roughly a year before I graduate. I don't know where I will go, but its probably a degree programme. And I'm starting work on my Diploma Project now... A semester ahead. After seeing my seniors, best to get a head start.

Virtual World : Also known as the ALMIGHTAY INTERNETZ. Basically can be summarized in one word really. Mousehunt. Probably the only game which has kept me entertained since June 2009. I've never, I repeat, NEVER played a game this long.

Games : I've finished most of the popular titles for early 2010. Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Aliens Vs Predator... Now working on the Secret Armoury of General Knoxx DLC for Borderlands. XD

And one more thing, Mass Effect 2 is just simply awesome. Go wiki the story. =D

Anime// Drama : Well... Not much can be said here. Didn't really watch a lot of anime lately. Only finished Seitokai no Ichizon - translated as The Student Council's Discretion. Damn funny stuff.. XD Yet a tear jerking story within. For dramas... Well.... Um... I'm... Uh.. Indulging in my childhood's favourites... >.> *whisper whisper*maskedrider*coughcough*

ANYWAY.... I really should be studying. XD Hope to post again soon.

Adios.

Oh my goodness gracious me! Why, isn't it my space monkies~

You guys still reading? Resilient aren't you? XD

Alright, I'm lazy to post. Really lazy. Okay, not really lazy, but really really really really lazy. On a lighter note, exams were over about a week or so ago. Work and my game project is keeping me from being bored to the brink of death.

The forums are up and running in case you're wondering. You can get the game there as well. =D Be sure to register first !!

>>> Click Me <<<

I went to Borders at Queensbay today. Browsing for books. Met Sarah there too. =D And Tim's you-know-who. XD

Bought three books. Gone by Michael Grant, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Hunger Games : Cathing Fire, also by Suzanne Collins. =P

Started reading Gone... Me likes. =3 Will post a description of it if me feels like it. Which is... Doubtful.

I won't post here much anymore... You'll probably see more of my weird ramblings in the forum.

Please support the forum !!! And the Shard Project. =D

Adios space monkies !!

RPG VX Project I

2009-11-09T17:45:00.003+08:00

Greetings space monkies !

Contrary to popular belief, I am not dead. In fact, I'm pretty much alive and kicking, hard.

I shall now show you my current project. It is an RPG game, which is being made using RPG VX. This was initially my personal project, but since the lecturer announced that the next project was to be an RPG, my, I mean, our game, is now a group effort.

It is called the Four Shards.

That's a screenshot of the title screen. =P

And there's an example of an in-game cutscene.

And finally an example battle scene.

I'm pretty much analyzing the battle scripts and basically spriting and shaping the story. My friends are making maps and looking for nice item pictures. XD

Story is currently under wraps. Its still too fragile to reveal. =P

Lets just say I'm trying my best to make it as epic as possible, and avoid most cliches. Hopefully.

Anyway.. Should continue cleaning my room...

Till another time my fellow space monkies !!

Windows VII

2009-09-24T10:31:00.002+08:00

As I type this, I'm using Microsoft's new OS, Windows 7.

And I must say. It really is stylish. And did I mention that its faster than XP ?

Well, that's my analysis after... An hour of using it. XD Will update as time passes.

Will post pics of the OS by tonight. If everything goes according to plan and I install all my applications. =P

On a lighter note, I got my new phone last week. The Sony Ericsson W995. Really nice slide-phone. With Wi-Fi !

Will post pics of this too ! =P

Yeah. Short post. Gotta clean my room.. So nyeh.. Check back later. =P

'And at the End of Darkness - Oblivion.'

Braid

2009-09-06T22:56:00.004+08:00

Braid is a game. A platformer. A puzzle. A story. A gallery. A masterpiece.

Whoever said games fail to give a good story?

Braid's story was so deep, engrossing, confused, complicated. But once deciphered, opened a whole new way to interpret the storyline.

Said simply, its story is more abstract than linear. Its confused, not confusing. A story which the author wrote with brilliant ideas, but couldn't find the words.

The premise: To save a captured princess.
Though that is not exactly the case.

[SPOILER]
There are many interpretations of the story, but one popular theory is that Braid tells the story of the development, deployment, and the aftermath of the atomic bomb. As for other details, I won't tell you.

Highlight if you wish to see. But don't say I didn't warn you.

Believe it. It all makes sense in the epilogue.

Awesome in every aspect.

The Puzzles
The controls are simple, Up, Down, Left, Right, Space Bar and Shift.

Thats it. Space Bar is to jump, and Shift is to rewind time.

Yes. Rewind time.

Most, if not all, of Braid's puzzles revolve around this simple mechanic. There are a total of six worlds altogether. And each world's time is perceived differently.

In World III for example, objects that have a greenish glow are unaffected by time. In other words, when you press shift to rewind them, they remain as they are. Unaffected.

As for World IV, when you move forward, time moves forward. When you move backwards... Time does as well.

There are a total of six worlds altogether. All demonstrate a different 'type' if you will, of time.

Thats just the icing on the cake.

The main thing is, the puzzles are so devilishly clever that I had to use parts of my brain which I didn't know existed. xD

I won't spoil anymore... Just play it. No questions asked. You won't regret it. I know I didn't. =P

*Yeah, I know. This is more like a review than an update. XD*

August Rain

2009-08-31T22:36:00.003+08:00

I know I know, I'm a very bad person. I don't update very often, I'm aware. For some reason, my will to write has been diminishing. In any case, I'm not going to rant about that.

Okay, first of all, I'm missing a lot of stuff to write, partly because my mind doesn't really remember it, and partly because I end up doing other stuff than write about it. So now I'm going to write to the best of my ability.

In reference to the post title, August Rain refers to episode 18 of Valkyria Chronicles. Which is an anime I'm following at the moment. Which made me cry. ;_; And by some coincidence, its been raining more often for the past few days. Which kinda made me remember that episode even more.

The game which I'm currently playing, The Last Remnant, is still almost done... Its been more than 3 months of on and off playing... One hell of a long game. But awesome nonetheless. =P Can't wait to get Hinnah, Hannah, and of course, the Remnant Nightbloom. Bwahaha...

Oh yeah, got a few new employees at Blue Reef which I failed to mention here. New additions are Shireen, Daniel, Nicole, Kristen and Shu Mei. While my good friends Bryan, Vincent, Jason and Alissa have left.

Moving on, my new handphone target is the exotic W995i. Which looks awesome, and after asking quite a number of opinions, is worth the price of RM1,500. For Wi-Fi, GPS, 8.1MP Camera with DIS and Face Detection, Flash-Lite based interface, 8GB of space and 3G. (And many other features).

As for novels... It seems like I have no time for reading nowadays... Which is kinda sad... I really need to set a time for it. Maybe 9.00 - 11.00pm or something.

I'm going to try to dual-boot Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop tomorrow. Just to see what that Linux-based OS has in store. XD

Ohhh YES.... Forgot to mention... Me is d/ling the first season of Code Geass in 720p Blu-Ray. =D AWESOME STUFF. And it goes oh so well with my new temporary 19-inch widescreen monitor. XD And I now has four channel speakers and a woofer to go with it. Supreme sound quality + display ? Perfecto mundo.

And my new college schedule is Tuesdays till Fridays. Yes, third semester already. I fail to mention a lot of things, I know. One of the perks of being me. =P Now the fun part starts... We are starting to create audio, and making some games. Hehehehe... I'm remaking a game with RPG Maker XP too. Its called The Black Abyss. Stay tuned for a BETA in the coming weeks or months. =D

Oh and of course, one of the most important things I missed out to mention, I've been to Johnson's apartment, and well, I was greeted by a HDTV and a PS3. And a demo of Final Fantasy XIII. And well.... You know me... I went ballistic. Played FFXIII. And its beautiful. 'nuff said. XD

Today is Merdeka day too... Hmm... Wonder what's it for. XDDDDDDD

'To Let the World Be'

Mousehunt

2009-08-05T23:39:00.002+08:00

I know what you're thinking. No, its not that old movie. No, I'm not on a mousehunt. Yes, I'm playing the Facebook application called Mousehunt. And it is awesome. =P

Oh yeah. Work on Chapter IV is not proceeding as planned. I wrote like... 10%, then got stuck. Here's a peek :

IV

Nightmares

'Even in the depths of slumber, I do not get peace.'

-

Amelia woke with a start, beads of sweat like tears rolling down her face, with several stray strands of her blonde hair running askew. Even in the midst of battle, the dreams come to taunt her, haunt her, or just to keep her up at night. Dragon General or not, she was still only human, and humans still did need enough shut eye.

Night after night, it was the same. All she could see were glimpses, shadows, or perhaps figures. She could make out that they were fighting, their movements were agile, probably too agile for humans. The only thing she could see clearly were the flashes of weapons striking as they were blocked and parried. Even after roughly a month of the same dream, she still couldn’t figure out who they were.

Amelia sat up, legs crossed. She’d already spent too much time contemplating about it. Too much time on a dream which may not mean anything, and less time on her battle plans. Her tent was well organized, even in the time of war. Enchanted lamps hung from the ceiling, a dresser filled with some clothes stood in one corner. To the left, was a mannequin, adorned with her customized ruby red armour, with her blade, sheathed, leaning against it.

---

And there I stop. The idea is there. But I can't think of a way for its execution. This isn't final by the way. Could change at a moments notice. Well, its not like anyone would know if I did. But anywaaay...

Lately in my holidays, I've been watching movies. I've watched Watchmen: Director's Cut, X-Men Origins : Wolverine, and Race to Witch Mountain. Overall good movies. I enjoyed meself. =P

And now, I shall read books. Have to finish off City of Bones. Then move on the Stardust or City of Ashes. Or Praying for Sleep. Oh right. I have a sudden craving for food. Think I'll make some maggi after this. Well, you obviously don't need to know that. Silly me.

Moving on, class starts on Monday, August 17th. Registration is on August 14th, Friday. So I have absolutely no idea of my schedule. But I hope Fridays are open. =P

Remember I said I wanted to buy the Razer Keyboard and Earphones ? Well, I got the Razer Moray (Earphones), in case I didn't mention it here. XD But the keyboard... Well... Think I'll leave that till my current one turns to ashes. Ooh its raining ! Awesome. Oh wait. Sorry, back on topic. I also procured the Razer Krait, courtesy of Tim. =P And I think I shall change my phone soon... This one's getting rusty.. Ah well. PhoneHunt begins ! ( no pun intended )

Hopefully my d/l of Pink Panther 2 will be done by tomorrow. Another movie to watch. XDDD

I'll leave it here for now. Stay tuned for updates. ( If there's anyone left checking that is. )

Arigato gozaimasu.

Oyasuminasai.

^That's Japanese for thank you, and good night. Just in case you were wondering. Which I know you are. =P

A Post

2009-07-13T22:13:00.002+08:00

Yes... I know I haven't updated in a long long long long long time.

So, lets recap what's happened during the past few months:

1. My Birthday

Thanks to everyone who wished me. Seriously. Thanks~ =P

Got a few gifts... From Sarah and Kitt.

Sarah, Kitt, Gita, Steph, Tim, and Nick surprised me at Blue Reef while I was working. With cake and all. XD

2. New Laptop
At the time of writing, I'm using my new laptop. Which I bought with my own money. Mostly. XD

Not a gaming machine, but hey, it gets work done.

I'll probably post some pics of it... But you know me. I'll either forget, or be too lazy.

And... This year I don't seem to have the will to read or write... I don't really read as much as I used to... Which is weird... And write less.. Which is even weirder... Looks like my story is going to be on one hell of a hiatus...

I can't find the words, nor the will to write. Something's wrong. Really wrong.

Anyway... Hopefully I'll get my writing/reading mojo back. XD

Well.. That basically sums up the more important stuff in my life. If there is some topic which I didn't write up here, its probably too important for the public eye. XDD

Finals in for the next week. Shall get ready for war.

P.S. - Welcome back from Singapore !! =D XD

Random Minor Update

2009-04-23T20:00:00.002+08:00

Okay... So I haven't been updating in a while... I had more... Pressing matters to attend to.

Such as RA3 Uprising. And The Last Remnant. And Persona 4.

So I have three games to finish right now. Uprising's commander's challenge is a challenge indeed. The Last Remnant is so hard that its fun. Persona 4 is so RPG that its hard.

Oh fine, my cryptic nonsense isn't helping. Oh well. My cryptic nonsense is so cryptic that its nonsense. Wha?

Anyway, my d/l of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children Complete will be done by tomorrow morning.. Oh I can't wait... Fingers are jittery right now... Must watch tomorrow. No matter the cost.

And I still didn't finish my essay on Death. Shall work on it pronto.

Adios.

Driving Exam

2009-04-10T20:13:00.002+08:00

Yo. Long time no post. XD

Anywaaay... As the title suggests, this post is just for me to say one little unimportant thing that has made a not very big impact on my life.

I have passed my driving test.

Yeah. Thats about it. And I got to skip moral today too. Ah yes. Excellent day. =P

In other news, I have three shifts during the weekend at Blue Reef. Saturday's lunch and dinner hour as well as Sunday's lunch hour.

Ah busy weekend. Eesh.

My license should be done by Wednesday. Heheh.

I guess that pretty much sums up all the small stuff that happened recently.

Of Work and Meetings

2009-04-04T20:03:00.002+08:00

First off, lets start off with yesterday. Turns out I didn't HAVE class yesterday. Surprise surprise. So I got to attend the full CLiCK meeting... And I don't get to go to the photoshoot next week due to driving exams. Ah well... Then I got an email from the Animanga club... Saying that theres a screening and interview on April 7th and April 11th. WHICH BOTH DAYS HAVE TO HAVE DRIVING EXAMS ! Wtf. Screw it. Eesh. Why does it have to clash with my club... And it was a once a lifetime thing. Wtf indeed.

Anyway... Everything was pretty much okay yesterday (Friday). Heh...

As for today... First day on the job at Blue Reef. Afternoon shift, training day. A lot of stuff to remember... The drinks mainly. How to prepare the drinks. Interesting actually. Made some new friends. Bryan (fellow part-timer), Wei Chien (already know him xP), Christie (kitchen staff), Zack (kitchen staff)... And some others whose names escape me at the moment. And of course the two bosses, Swen and Christopher. Friendly people. xP

And I'm now working on a forum... For KDU CLiCK and one for my blog. Don't ask why for my blog. I think it would be fun. xD

Coding

2009-04-02T19:36:00.002+08:00

Had my first class of Object Oriented Programming today... I'm telling you... Coding is so freakin fun.

Just grasped the basics. And I was coding some random programs just now. Yes, at home. And learning more less-basic stuff. So yes, coding is fun. And no, you cannot see the dumb programs I wrote. At least, not yet. Till I write some program worthy of the blog. xD

And there are actually EiGHT new students ! Thats like... Woaaah... And for the first time in the course's history... There really is a girl in class. Lee Fang -something-. Yes I don't remember. Oh well. And Christopher Chew from Heng Ee's there... Yes, he shall be my code apprentice. And probably a few more since they keep asking me for help. >.>"

Among other minor details, thats pretty much the highlights of today. I'll go back to coding now. =D

Okay... Was originally going to migrate to WordPress. But apparently, it has limitations in the HTML and SWF department. So I'm sticking to Blogger. Makes my blog more 'modern'. xD

Anyhow, update on me life.

I have to write my SPM essay for a teacher. And me and Chad agreed to write a 1000-word or more essay per week. This week's title is 'Death'. Kinda sadistic I know. But hey, its fun. =P

Went out with Sarah to watch Knowing last Saturday. Fun day. Nice movie. Movie ends surprisingly. XD And I'll leave out the minor details.

So yes... Back to college. Day III. Everything's going well so far. March intake's smooth I suppose. And I had my Malaysian Studies final today. I SHALL PASS !!!

Oh, and weirdest thing. There's actually a new girl in my course. And, well, naturally, my team of four guys were like... WHAT THE FISH ?! Okaay... I'm not being sexist or anything. Well... As far as I know... Girls and programming don't really mix... Okay so there are those few girls who like it. But I never expected there would be one here. I mean, the seniors were all GUYS !

And went to the Fish Spa with Sarah, Tim, Honey, Nora and Elizabeth. Was an.... Interesting experience. Was bloody ticklish at first. But got the hang of it in a while. Though Elizabeth did not. Poor girl.

Soo.... That kinda sums up my week. And I have class everyday now. Anyway, got some random stuff to do. Till my next boring post.

Please note that the blog is going to undergo some serious template changes... So the chatbox will be missing. So sorry for any inconvenience.

Things that I Want

2009-03-24T18:31:00.005+08:00

Yeah, I'm bored. So here's what I want to get when I start working. (Yeah, WOW, TJ ? WORKING?!)

Yeah, you read right. Anyway, working's beside the point. I need new headphones. And those cheap pasar malam crap won't do me any good. And I've finally scoured the net and found these babies. The Razer Moray.

Yes, its good. Checked multiple reviews. And I'm prepared to pay Rm135 for it. Well, when I have the money anyway... xD

Next in line is a new keyboard. This old thing has served me for years. And its beginning to show its age. So, I have hunted for a gaming keyboard this time... Yes, they're not cheap. But well... I have the right in indulge in some things right ? Its not like I spend my money on everything... Do I ? xP

*ahem* Presenting the Razer Lycosa. *gasps of awe*

Come on people... You HAVE to admit it... THIS THING IS SMEXY. No, not sexy. SMEXY. Aaaannndd.... Rm315 for a gaming keyboard is a worthy investment. Since it'll probably last for a good half-decade or so.

Okay, I've gone stark raving mad. Ah well. Time to sell some stuff. Mm. Think I'll get a new set of gaming headphones next. *evil grin*

Till my next boring post. (Yeah, two posts in a day. What gives?)

'Momento Mori'

SNAPSHOTS

2009-03-24T09:23:00.002+08:00

Okay... The club has been approved and the blog is out. Well, personal domains cost money, so yeah, I agreed that a blog would be better. ( Its FREE too. ) Anyways, Sarah made it, and I dunno who made the layout, probably Tim.

And I still have no idea why is my pointless ranting blog linked there. I mean, its embarrassing. =O

Shall discuss with them later. Eesh.

Anyway, as 4 As including 1119 for SPM. Yes, disappointing I know. Next topic, I was sick for two weeks. Hell yeah. Okay, it was crap. XD Basically caught the flu and when it recovered, caught a fever. Dumb sinus infections. Anyway, I've recovered and ready to dominate whats left of the world. *evil snigger*

Malaysian Studies final in on April 1st. What a way to spend my April Fool's day. Ah well.. Studied a bit... But not enough apparently. Never got to download any anime cause of the dumb flu and fever. T.T

Persona 3 FES is my current drug... Been playing it for a month or so and its still not finished. Hmm.

Congratulations on reading this boring post this far, even though its entitled 'SNAPSHOTS', this post is 98% not relevant at all. Ah well. You know me. =P

Shall go back to World Domination (TM) now. See ya.

Another Day in the Life of Me

2009-03-09T20:11:00.000+08:00

Yes weird title I know. xD Kinda bored now... Yes, SPM results are in three days and finals are on Friday. I'm thoroughly prepared for finals. As for SPM... Well. I should be able to bag 3 credits for my Diploma requirements...

Ah, and don't ask me how many A's I'm expecting, cause I will break down and go all emo on you immediately. Okay, that was a lame joke. xD But don't ask me that question AFTER I get my results though, cause in that post-result-mood, I may hurt you. *insert smiley here*

XD

Among other things, I've been playing Persona 3 : FES on the PS2. And yes, the RPG fan in me has gone wild.

*yawn*

*logs off*

The Days in a Nutshell

2009-03-02T21:03:00.004+08:00

*ahem* Yes, the great Almighty TJ hasn't been updating for a while. I was lazy okay ? Don't blame me... xD

Went to Gurney to watch a movie with Sarah on Saturday.. Saw Joshua there too... I'm telling you, it was funny. Joshua I mean. His girlfriend was piling up stuff on him... I was looking, and he said 'Yes, I have to pay.' XD I dunno about you, but I found that very amusing.

Watched Seven Pounds with Sarah. Movie was good... I liked it. Confusing at first but it all clicks in the end. I love that kind of movie. XD Went to the education fair at PISA with Sarah on Sunday too... Her parents fetched me there and back... Saw Gita, Ranjini I think and some people who don't seem to recognize me. Oh well. Sarah knows a lot more people though. xP To be expected. Anyway, KDU had the biggest and grandest booth there... And probably had the most people. Hwahwhawhahwa

Today, I totally forgot about the computer quiz. But I think I pulled through it lah. Also managed to finish the dreaded Malaysian Studies assignment. Thanks to the team members, We Ming, Waei Jiun, Cze Yang and of course TJ, Esteemed Ruler of the Order of the Comfy Pillow. ( With the help of Sarah's mac of course. Thanks again. ;D )

Well, I did leave out some minor details here and there. But you know me, I'm lazy... And I can't even finish Chapter IV. Its called Nightmares by the way. Oh, and I'm hungry. Probably going to make some instant noodles later.

Till my next boring post. Au revoir.

Friday the Thirteenth

2009-02-13T21:05:00.002+08:00

Yes.. Scary day isn't it ? And yes I haven't posted anything for... Quite a while. Lets just say that I was... Preoccupied.

Anyway, there was this Gothic Valentine thing in college. Didn't see it though, as by the time I got there it was already ending. XD Anyway, met Sarah at the library. Thanks for the chocolates! =D Had lunch, and went off to the exam.

The exam was... Easy. Really, easy. The only question that stopped my flow of mojo was 'Explain four functions of the operating system.'

So... I spent 20 minutes on the exam... Including checking my answers... And yes, I am quite confident with this.... Way more confident than that Malaysian Studies exam on Wednesday.. Yeeesh.

And I took quite an amount of photos today... Posting the good ones on Facebook. =P

CNY in a Nutshell

2009-01-30T11:00:00.002+08:00

Collected my 'annual bonus' as I like to call it. =D

Had the annual BBQ at Ah Ma's place. And I shall not blog about it because all the pics are on Facebook. And pictures speak a thousand words. ( In layman's terms, I am lazy. =D )

Wednesday, went to Gurney to watch Inkheart with Sarah. Fun, and treated her to lunch. ( I *am* a guy after all. =P ) Book was better, that much was obvious. Favorite character in movie is now Farrid. xD Anyhow, got to know her better. Fun person. =P

Thursday, went ot Gurney again, (woot ! 3rd time to Gurney this year ! ) with Kitt and Soon. I initially booked four tickets because we thought Chad would be coming. He was unavailable, so by a stroke of luck met Chern Hong there... So yay. Problem solved. We watched Underworld. Oh... Violent. Bloody. Decapitation. Vampires. I like. xP Short movie. Shorter than Inkheart. But it was full of action. So yeah. Was good. Viktor is evil. But he looked cool while doing it. *salute*

Friday (a.k.a. today), Soon, Kitt, Chern Hong and Chad are coming over... To see Chad in his NS-ness before leaving again.. xD Most probably gonna watch Russel Peters and laugh our heads off.

Beyond the Bounds

2009-01-26T23:55:00.004+08:00

Yes, I'll post the pics tomorrow... But right now I NEED TO POST ABOUT THIS SONG.

I. Am. Stunned.

Click Here

The song is called 'Beyond the Bounds' sung by Maki Kimura. Its in English. Parts of it anyway. The other parts are... Weird. Seriously. This is the weirdest song I've heard in my 17 years and 6 months of life. And when I say things are weird, trust me. ITS WEIRD. Most people will find it to be un-listen-able. But I was strangely enthralled by it. No idea why. Call me weird//strange and whatnot, but this song will remain in my playlist for years to come.

And these are the lyrics. One word my friends. Weird with a capital W.

Clickity Click Click

Respect. *salute* (to the song)

HYAPPPPIIEEEE CHINWESE 'NIU' YAR !

Okay, enough of the Manglish. Happy Chinese New Year every one !

That blackout a few days ago seriously messed with my harddisk. My whole computer couldn't start and I panicked for a moment and thought all my data was gone. Thankfully, my stroke of techno-wizardry managed to save the day... xD

Oh right. This post is about CNY. Not my stroke of geek-ness and computers and nerd-talk and l33t sp34k. I shall be collecting my 'annual bonus' later today. But that's beside the point, the main point is the BBQ tonight. Yes, the almighty annual BBQ. I WILL take pics of this annual event... As its possibly the only thing I look forward to every CNY. Salmon, beef, lamb chops, sausages, wasabi, chrysanthemum tea, green tea, coke... And other delicious stuff...

I'll probably post about this tomorrow.. (no, not another empty blog promise) I WILL post about this. So yeah. Look forward to it. =P

Mum's Birthday

2009-01-16T23:39:00.005+08:00

Happy Birthday mum. Not that she'll read this. So lets keep it that way.

Went to PSC Ingolfs. Had my mixed grill to celebrate. Again, I totally forgot to take a picture of the food. Instead I got some shots of scenery. xD Stupid hungry me.

I shall now bore you with photographs. =D

Yes. Some are blur. My hands are not THAT steady. Sadly. Yet. Yes, yet. I WILL IMPROVE.

Going to get a belated cheese cake for her tomorrow. Had some time constraints and couldn't get it today. Signing off.

2009-01-10T09:39:00.005+08:00

And here's my first email from KDU. Or rather, the AMGC. Its not exactly a meeting... But a movie screening. They're going to screen Resident Evil - Degeneration. Which is fine by me. I haven't seen it yet. What I'm more interested in was the Left 4 Dead competition they're going to have in March. Now, I'm sure I'm in the right club. =D

I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy college life. *grin*

And yes, Tim & Sarah. I'm possibly going to have more friends in this club. Their minds have a connection with mine. XD

P.S. I made a new blogger account and associated it with this blog. So my old one with over 200 pageviews is gone. T.T Oh well.

And now the stuff I got for registering with AMGC.

KDU - Day II

2009-01-06T20:07:00.003+08:00

Lingered in the foyer for a while before Tim came. Then we went to the cafeteria to test out the Wi-Fi. No, no laptops. He was using his iPod Touch. It was sleek and cool. The Wi-Fi isn't really that fast, but it had acceptable speeds. Went up to the Lecture Theatre 1 around 9.50am for the Clubs & Societies talk. All the presidents talked about their club and whatnot. Being a computing student, I'm automatically a member of the Computer Club. Then there was another club that caught my attention. The AMGC. Or Animanga. AMGC stands for Anime, Manga and Games Community I think. Or something similar. After the Clubs & Societies presentation, there was the dress code talk and the non-smoking rule and recycling thing. I shall not bore you with those details.

Onto lunch. Now I'm SURE its Sarah. Well, she approached me before I did anything. So boo me. I'm useless. Not even confident enough to talk to a girl normally. Incredible I am. Anyway, ate curry chicken and some kind of other meat. Dunno what it was. But it was good. Then I registered for the Computer Club and the AMGC. Got a free magazine and a bookmark. The bookmard is nice. Its cute. CAPS looked interesting, but decided against it. Creative Artistic something society. I'm more of an anime person anyway.

Lingered in the library for a while. A bloody big library with a sad collection of fiction. Ah, sad. Settled for a PC periodical, before moving on to the 7th floor. Then the games began. I actually switched my purple ribbon for Tim's white ribbon. He wanted purple. Since it was closer to blue than white. I didn't mind. And the ice-breaking session. Oh I'm afraid of those. I'm not that sociable and very nervous in front of new people. Yeah, most of you know that. Obviously. First game was picking up a marble with a pair of chopsticks and ferrying it across to another plate. Yeah, I failed to ferry mine. *applause* And we got second. O.o Second game, tallest newspaper tower. Oh yeah, we failed that miserably too. Well, we *did* beat the yellow team. Surprisingly. Third game, the dreaded treasure hunt. Split into two groups. Each group had two guys who were actually paying attention to the campus tour the previous day. Including me of course. *shining light* Half an hour of running around, getting name cards, asking around and counting lockers. Tiring. Fourth game, memory game. They reveal a list of items for 20 seconds and you have to bring them the items within 2 minutes. We got last in that race for time. Well, we got blocked. Final game, balloon popping. Weird game. Yet fun. Five people. Four balloons. One unlucky guy takes all the punishment. I don't really know how to describe the positions. And I'm lazy to think at the moment. xD Ended at 5pm.

So, that practically wraps up my 2nd day. Class starts tomorrow. And I have no class tomorrow. *evil laugh* Oh and, my new current email is n3kura@gmail.com Sounds better than lorddarigan@gmail.com What? So what if I was a Neopets player? Sue me.

KDU - Frist Day of College

2009-01-02T00:12:00.001+08:00

First day of college. I wouldn't be blogging now actually. I had a headache. But apparently thanks to some sms's and incoming phone calls I couldn't sleep. And my headache waned. So, blog lah.

KDU is bigger than I expected. I mean, it looks small on the outside, but... DAMN. Its BIG. From the inside anyway. Again, I was the loner. Till half-way through lunch time. Saw someone who was at chemistry tuition. Tim. At last a familiar face. He has serious social skills. He had already pulled someone into his, our, loner group. Or loner circle as I like to call it. As our friends abandoned us and went off to Disted instead. Rawr.

Cafeteria is nice. Well, I liked the food anyway. Was affordable and not really overpriced. Hmm. Theres this girl, not in my class, that looked awfully familiar. Really, REALLY familiar. I think she's Sarah from Shu's surprise farewell party. Then again, I could be wrong. And being the coward that I am, didn't dare ask. Oh well. Off to falling asleep. My headache's coming back.

New Year

2009-01-01T18:19:00.001+08:00

Goodbye 2008. Hello 2009 !

Another year of weirdness for me. Yes I'm blogging this at 6.20pm. Because I was awake with the guys playing MtG till 4am. Yes, its a thrilling experience. Common drafts and our full power decks nuking it out in a mad free-for-all. Naturally, we take out the biggest threat on the board. Namely Kitt and JS. Kitt's deck costs roughly 800 bucks. And its bloody scary. JS's Red deck is... Hot. Burn spells galore. My cute cute critters get fried. T.T

Anyway, enough rambling about the card game that no one that reads this blog plays. Onto the main festivities. JS came at 1pm with fried rice. Was not bad. Kitt came later at around 5pm. With Apple Crumble. It was nice. Really nice. And I'm still alive. So *shrugs* Warren came at 8pm+ due to his dating. *sigh* Couples. We nearly died of thirst because he was supposed to bring the drinks. And my dad had a mini BBQ. Grilled garlic chicken wings and crabs. Oh.... CRABS. Delicious.

That more or less sums up the night. Finished eating around 10 and played cards till 4am. Yes. More or less.

No, no pics of the event. Me ish nots cam-crazy.

Prince of Persia

2008-12-31T09:32:00.003+08:00

So ends another beautifully crafted game in a record time of two days... The epilogue just screams sequel ! And I shall wait patiently for one. But still, reviving the God of Destruction to revive a princess is hardly prince behavior. Oh well. The fighting was really cool though, acrobatics, swords clashing, his gauntlet, and Elika's magic. Oh, and, this has got to be the most easiest game made this year. For starters, you can't die. Elika won't let you die. In the middle of a fight and you 'die', Elika saves you and the enemy's life get replenished somewhat. Not really a harsh penalty like most games.. Then again, they were probably aiming for a broader audience than hardcore seasoned gamers looking for a challenge. Hmm. I'll probably play this again next year. XD Its like re-reading your favorite fantasy novel again. I mean, seriously, this game oozes with charm.

New Years Eve ! Party later. With Jian Soon, Kitt and Warren. Spend the night watching Macross Frontier, play MtG, and eat, eat, EAT. =D

P.S. Regarding the pics, yes I got em. Posting them tomorrow. If I feel like it.

Diamond Crevasse

2008-12-23T23:01:00.004+08:00

Not posting my take and thoughts on the party yet. No pictures. Waiting for Shu Yao to send em to me. So be patient. =P

I finished Macross Frontier. Anime of course. Its good. Music wise. The songs are epic. May'n and Megumi Nakajima did a great job on this one. Especially Diamond Crevasse by May'n. Now that I think about it, it *is* a farewell song. And for some unknown reason I think it kinda fit the mood during Shu's farewell party. Pity I hadn't thought about it then. Oh well, might as well post it here. Since I've been practically addicted to it for about a week or so.

Complete with english translation. Watch it now. No, you cannot say no. Just watch it. Once. Please? Why? Because I think its one of the best composed slow/sad/farewell songs of all time.

On another note, I'm working for my dad. Mm? Oh, I'm not as frail and lazy as you thought I was. I am capable of doing work. =P

And just in case I forget, Merry Christmas everyone ! ( Well, to those who read my blog anyway. )

Edit: Now I really, REALLY regret not going to her live performance in Singapore... Thanks to some... Certain GOVERNMENT EXAM.............. Waahhh... May'n.... T.T *bangs head on wall*

Shu Yong's Almighty-Surprise-ty-Farewell-ty Partee - Gift Buying Phase

2008-12-21T11:29:00.005+08:00

Saturday
1645 hours
Gurney Plaza_

We braved the snowstorm that was the air conditioning, carving our way through Gurney's new wing to find... A snow globe. Yes, we were looking for a snow globe. It did seem a better gift than chocolates. After a perilous 4 minutes of walking through sub-zero temperatures that could have easily froze any average human being, we reached the third floor of the frozen wasteland that is the new wing. Then there it was, Lovely Lace. We sighed at the thought of stepping through enemy territory. The happy-coloured wallpaper coupled with the aroma of scented candles was enough to drive any sane computer nerd into the depths of the abyss. Bracing ourselves, we stepped into the heart shaped portal, and into the land of scented smells for the search of a snow globe.

---

1652 hours
Lovely Lace, Territory of the Raving Mad Cuddly Stuffed Animals, Gurney Plaza_

The guards paid no heed to our presence, as my aura of geekiness repelled all other foreign forces of immense power. Jian Soon was resisting as well, our kind would not survive long in such hostile conditions. It wasn't long till we found our object of desire. It laid there motionless, waiting... It was as big as Jian Soon's fist, and according to his sources, it should be under Rm50. I took up the snow globe, and nearly sent it out the window after I saw the amazingly pretty price tag. Rm109.90

---
1705 hours
MPH, Fourth Stairway to Heaven, Gurney Plaza_

Immediately I placed the snow globe back, and we hastily departed as the guards were getting suspicious of our fake hair and dresses. In the frozen wasteland once again, we started to MPH. Where we thought we could find a book. The portal to MPH was a welcoming sight. It was a safe haven. Free of stuffed animals and the petrifying smell of scented candles of doom. In the end, we didn't know what to get. And well. A life guide would be really stupid as a farewell present.

---
1725 hours
Location Undisclosed

No, I won't tell you where I got the gift. Suffice to say that it was initially a lamp. The girl was about to wrap it up when I spotted the glass chess set. At that point, we had no idea if she would like it. We're guys after all, and we have no idea of the female psyche. Hence, why we took a gamble. Speaking of which, I don't think people give chess sets as farewell gifts. Well, she likes chess. Then again, she would probably already have a chess set at home. So why did we pick the chess set? Simple. It looked classy. XD ( and we try to be unique, instead of giving stuffed animals or clothes or handbags or other girl stuff which I don't know )

------------------

Well, that more or less sums up the gift buying process. Though I did leave out the detail of the idea of Jian Soon distracting a guard so I could kidnap a christmas tree. *shrugs*

As for the party, my mind is still contemplating on how to exaggerate the events. Yes, its what I love to do. Exaggerate. So stay tuned while I nab some photos of the party from Kylie, and if anyone who was there wants to share their photos, please do. I took an embarassing amount of 4 photos of the party. And they were photos of food instead of people. The Mac and Cheese was delicious, and I didn't take a photo of it because I was too busy eating it. *sigh*

Anyway, till I get some photos. Which I hope I can settle blogging by tomorrow. I have a New Year's Eve party to plan. =P

Its official. After weeks of perilous research and bottles of 100 Plus, I have concluded that... My video card's fried. T.T Which explains all those crashes on Fallout 3 and various other games I tested.

There goes gaming. Thank god its only a week till SPM is over with. I can now pester my dad about getting that 8800GT. *evil grin*

On another note, here's something Jiye showed me, and its very, very disturbing.

Handphone Themes

2008-11-09T20:26:00.003+08:00

Well, most of you don't know that I design handphone themes. Yes, hard to believe I know. I've made a Cabal theme, mainly focusing on the Wizard class, a Lelouch theme, which I dropped due to forgetfulness and lack of motivation, though it still looks okay. xD And finally a Shinkirou theme, which is Lelouch's Knightmare Frame, looks badass. Though it was a bit too bright for my liking. Now, I'm nearly done with my latest project, Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Yes, a handphone theme obviously, I worked on it when I wasn't doing Add Maths or Physics. Hey, everyone has their own way to let their mind rest no?

Back to the theme, its mainly for Sony Ericsson W800 series models. Well, most Ericsson models with a screen size of pixels 176x220 should be able to use my theme. And I'll be putting it up for download at Zedge. So, if you want it, grab it there and leave a comment after I'm done with it. Support my work a bit. =D

As of now its in its final stages of testing and looking for weird graphic problems. Hopefully, it'll be done by tomorrow. I could've done it faster if it weren't for SPM. T.T

Anyhow, here's a preview pic. =D (Its watermarked. Protection from ripping/stealing.) (

.hack//Liminality OST

We are in the land of the twilight...

I'll be there, by your side, in the land of the twilight.
In your dream, I will go, 'till we find, the sunrise.

You are lost in nightmare.
Deep in blue illusion.
One more kiss to wake you up.
Come be mine, you are mine...

I will be there seeking for liminality.
No destinations to see, I wander.
In quiet places so dark as eternity.
I’m crying, calling your name, I’m searching for you...

I'll be there, by your side, in the land of the twilight.
In your dream, I will go, 'till we find, the sunrise.

Deep in blue eternity, search for liminality...
Deep in blue eternity, search for liminality...
Deep in blue eternity, search for liminality...
Deep in blue eternity...
(We are in the land of the twilight...)
(We are in the land of the twilight...)

I will be there seeking for liminality.
No destinations to see, I wander.
In quiet places so dark as eternity.
I’m crying, calling your name, I’m searching for you...

I'm in a lyric frenzy lately. Yes. This is engrish. But who cares. The song is niiice. Heck, its by Yuki Kajiura for crying out loud.

Yes. I'm addicted to this song. Ga-Rei's opening. Its upbeat and full of energy. Oh, and the violins are nice. Watch the PV below.

And um. Ignore her clothes. Dunno about you, but it looks weird to me. I think I'll post the lyrics to Liminality later. XD

End of High School

2008-11-01T16:24:00.005+08:00

Graduated yesterday. I'm actually surprised that its over. Its finally over. The last school song that I've been singing for the past 5 years. Its gone. Gone. Oh yeah.

No, I did not cry. Heck, no one cried. Save for some of the girls. We ended up laughing harder than ever at everything. Camera flashes everywhere, took a few photos with friends. Then that about wraps it up. Got on stage twice and got the prizes. Money. Well, good enough. Money talks. *nodnod*

I disappeared immediately after Graduation. And left some people in the dark who were looking for me to take a group photo. *evil grin*

Oh fine. I had to go to the hospital. Grandma got hospitalized. So no time for anything else.

The final battle of the year is in ten days. And I'm still here blogging. Buck up? Hard. My mind is still at peace and moving at a comfortable pace. God knows why. Perhaps this is why there are more girls in universities than guys nowadays. Guys are becoming regular DVD sellers while the girls are getting PHDs. Hmm.

Food

2008-10-27T10:20:00.002+08:00

There a three things I prioritize in life.

1. Life. Obviously. For without life, I cannot indulge in my second priority in life. Which is...

2. Food. Yes. Food. For without food, I cannot indulge in my third priority in life. Which is...

3. The Computer. *nodnod* My life revolved around it since I was three years old. And I played Warcraft II at the age of six. Bite me.

But now is the time to talk about food. Namely what I had for dinner last night. Oh yes.

Ingolf's Kneipe at PSC.

Mixed Grill.

Which consists of.

Bacon, lamb, beef, pork, sausages, generous helpings of black pepper sauce and lotsa potato wedges. Ah, heaven on a plate. *tears of joy*

Its been so long since I've had the mixed grill. Second time this year to be exact. Ah... I'm still full right now. Any my mum's pancakes taste like canai. O.o

Oh right, Happy Deepavali everyone ! How I love holidays. Having a little study group later too... Sing Yuen and Jian Soon. Yes, we will try to s***y. And try not to talk about deck strategies during our Add Maths.

On another note, the ED for Ga-Rei Zero episode 3 is epic. And Ga-Rei Zero is epic. As epic as Code Geass. I shall now patiently wait for the full song to be released in the coming months.

Awards

2008-10-25T18:48:00.002+08:00

Wow. Never knew I would get prizes this year. I basically flunked the essay competition for writing something too unreal and fantasy-ish. Which is fine, cause I got 4th place anyway. Which is basically the only prize I get each year.

Well, besides going up on stage receiving the certificates for my position as president of the Computer Club and Assistant Secretary for the S*****, I thought that was it. Apparently I still have to get up on stage and receive TWO more prizes on Graduation Day on 31st October.

Okay. That doesn't sound too bad right? To me it does. I have bloody stage fright. Yes. I'll give you a few minutes to laugh it out. Go on. I'll wait.

Done? Okay.

I'm not going to elaborate on the dynamics of stage fright. Instead I'll be telling you the other two prizes that I won without knowing it.

Best English Award
Highest Marks for English in the Whole Form

Which to me, sounds like the same thing. Still, I thought Alvin or Chad had higher marks than me.

*shrugs*

Shu Yao said something about imagining the audience is looking away or something like that. It does sound good, but I think I'll just burrow some ear plugs and imagine that I'm alone in my own world of... Food. Yes. Food. What? I'm hungry.

Ga-Rei Zero

2008-10-18T15:06:00.003+08:00

Saw this on THAT Anime Blog... So I thought I'd give it a try.

And.

Well.

DAAAMMMMNNNNNNN.

You know that trembling feeling of excitement when you watch a show? Yeah. And I got that towards the end of the first episode. My hands were trembling. It was so, so good. This has bloody potential.

I've never been so hyped about an anime since Code Geass. xD I just hope it doesn't screw up. I've watched episodes one and two. It failed to disappoint. Leaving a bloody suspenseful moment at the end of each.

Anyways, gotta go to One-Stop and pick up my Fat Pack. I'll post more about this later.

101st Post

2008-10-16T17:00:00.003+08:00

Apparently I just noticed that is is my 101st post. *confetti*

But that's not important. What's important is that I had an emotional conflict. Which is impossible. She was just sitting there in the bus. And my mind thought of ways on how to approach her. Wtf. I know. Its disturbing. What's worse is that I thought I had already purged all feelings for her.

Life sucks.

To make this even more disturbing, there was this song playing on the radio with the words 'waking up regretting not doing anything' or something similar. I say coincidence, thought some may have said otherwise, and I nullified my senses. Fine she seemed lonely. Fine I was practically the only one there that knew her. Screw it. I'm going to go reboot my mind. Hopefully it'll clear my mind of such trifle, troublesome matters.

Its ironic though. I did say I lived without regrets. And I think I'm beginning to contradict myself.

It has been said.
That in the end of all things,
We would find a new beginning.

But as the shadow,
Once again crawls across our world,
And the stench of terror,
Drifts upon a bitter wind.

The people pray for strength,
And guidance.
They should pray for the mercy,
Of a swift death.

For I have seen,
What the darkness hides.

I don't think its safe here.

- Diablo III

---

I just watched Wall-E. And I have two words to describe it - Undeniable Charm.

It has its moments. Overall great film. The best animated film by Pixar so far. *nodnod*

Though, it did not make me laugh as much as Superhero movie. Well, I laugh more at pointless comedies. Everything else-wise, Wall-E wins. Making me laugh my head off-wise, Superhero movie wins.

And I just love those lines from the trailer of Diablo III at the top. Yay. SPM's so near and I'm still thinking about games.

^ There's the trailer. Trust me, its epic.

The Words of Deception

2008-10-11T17:06:00.005+08:00

--------------------------

Lies.
The Deceiver's Finery.
Charisma.
The power of words.
The betrayer of trust.

Fear.
A chilling embrace -
Death's embrace.
The cold chill that runs down the spine.
Scared.
Afraid.

Weak.

Against the shadows.

Vanity.
Mirrors.
Self-Consciousness.
The eyes staring back.
The face of a murderer.

Grief.
It all ends with pain,
Suffering,
Agony.
Her vision,
Barely a glimpse of.
The Gleam.
Of a Cold Knife.

--------------------------

Don't ask what this is. Yes, I wrote it, as I had a sudden spur of creativity.

It has something to do with my current project. Apparently most of you know already what it is. This just came outta nowhere. Its tells of events yet to come. *grin* via a cryptic message

Deck Update

2008-10-04T22:39:00.005+08:00

Me's deck ish nearly completes !!

Missing one Master of Etherium, two Salvage Titans and two Ethersworn Canonists.

Yes. I know most, if not all of you don't know what the heck I'm blabbering about. In simple money-language, I need approximately Rm 115 to complete this deck. Expensive yes, but I'll find a way to trade my old stuff to get some of this new juicy stuff.

Oh, and two Arcane Sanctums. But I think I can salvage those from JS or Kitt. Shards of Alara is one really enjoyable block of Magic. I've never been so hyped about a block since the Ravnica block.

Sarkhan Vol is a staggering 35USD mininum. Talk about overpriced pieces of cardboard. And yes, its 35USD EACH. Well I can't argue. That guy really is overpowered. JS proxied him in his deck, and I got bloody pummeled into submission.

Its official. I hate Red and Green decks. And I must convert more people to the cause. *grins*

Woah. I'm ranting too much. Stop there. I think I'll go cook something. Mm. Yes.

Cleaning Up

2008-10-04T12:41:00.002+08:00

I skipped school yesterday. Hoorah. And ended up cleaning up my room. I cleared the balcony. Which was bloody full of toxic pigeon crap. I had to put on TWO layers of masks. And it stinks. Period. Threw away all those useless papers in my room, broken lamp, some boxes, all in total.. 12kg. Oh fine, its an estimate. But I'm sure its heavier than the 10kg bag of rice, which I know I can carry without a problem.

And my balcony looks FABULOUS. Me and my mum put up this black netting over the whole balcony, so I can like spy on everyone else now. *evil grin*

Practically turned the balcony into another living area. Got a table and two chairs there. You could say its for study. But I say its for playing a children's card game. =DD

Moved the bookshelf in my room as well. Arranged my novels nicely, arranged my cards, organized the Form 4 and Form 5 text books, my collection of PC Gamer... And wiped the whole room clean. Mostly. Missed one bookshelf. Gotta work on that after SPM.

Oh, and its Kitt's Birthday today. I'm gonna see if I can make him treat me to lunch later. Hehehehehheh....

Going to One-Stop again today... Two times in a week... I love it. Then again, after this its full swing SPM mode... Oh well. After SPM I'm going to rock One-Stop till it bloody collapses.

Finally, on another note, yes Shu, Gurney is boring. There's nothing to see except clothes, overpriced food, and weird kiddos who follow weird trends in clothing. Girls wear striped football socks with bloody boots and too much makeup that makes them look like a Japanese horror movie gone bad, And guys wear pink with funny oversized hats and practically wear their pants so low that it wouldn't make a difference not wearing them. Lala-style or whatever they call it. I go to Gurney to watch movies. No more, no less. Besides, I know more people in One-Stop anyway. ( They're more normal too ) And there's bowling and cards too. If they had a theatre, then I'd never even consider Gurney anymore. *evil laugh*

Yep. One-stop. Midlands. Or whatever you call it. I prefer to call it my 2nd home. No, not that boring Gurney Plaza.

So... Went there at around 1.30pm. JS got there at around 2pm. Got myself a new deck. Modified it, and participated in a draft. So much fun. And the Master of Etherium is one bloody good card. Which would explain the Rm25-30 price tag, each. And I need three more. Yay. Not to mention the blue Planeswalker, Tezzeret the Seeker. Which costs Rm80 at the moment.

I have an expensive hobby I know. Don't have to tell me that. But its just so much fun. Anyway, I'm going to go fix my PC's RAM now.

'All Hail Lelouch.'

I've Gone Mad

2008-09-30T21:43:00.003+08:00

So I've watched and re-watched the final episode. Its just... Epic.

Hitomi's insert song during the ending was just brilliant. And today I'm extra happy because I found the soundtrack. Which had 'If I were a Bird' and 'Continued Story' which is the ending song of Geass.

Curse my weak heart.

I choke up during these songs. Dammit. I hate being human.

Either way, I still cannot believe that Code Geass is finished. It just... Didn't seem possible. I watched season 1 last year at around November I think. They gave me that dreaded cliffhanger ending and I was 'wtf'-ing for around a month. Desperately waiting for a sequel. Finally my wish was answered in April 2008. And I was all hyper again.

Week by week and I slaved and woke up at 4am to watch the latest episodes. After around 5 months of it... It kinda feels weird that I have nothing to watch on Monday mornings... It feels... Incomplete. Now I have... Nothing to keep me optimistic about the coming weeks.

*sigh*

Oh well. It'll take some time for this to pass. And I'm feeling sad. Hmmm.

'All Hail Lelouch.'

Code Geass R2 - Finale

2008-09-29T04:51:00.002+08:00

Dammit. Dammit. Dammit.

I strongly advise against reading this if you havn't watched the final episode.

----------------------------

I'm on the verge of tears right now. An epic end for an epic series...

Well, I was on the verge of tears during Lelouch's death, and bloody nearly fell off my chair during the tension and suspense, I have to say that Sunrise actually put up a very, very nice ending.

And now, like every other blog who blogs Geass, will give my theory. Which I'm SURE makes sense. Lelouch isn't dead. Am I the only one who noticed that when Nunnaly held Lelouch's hand she had a flashback of memories? Which, during the whole two seasons, only those with the code CC and VV had? In other words, the power of bestowing Geass upon someone else and immortal. So, he isn't dead. He was driving the cart with CC.

----------------------

So, despite all the other comments about 'lack of closure', I think this is a very nice, exciting, epic ending for an epic series.

Now, I need a break. My knees are still trembling from that episode... And I have the final day of exams ahead. *EGADS !!!*

Music

2008-09-20T20:16:00.003+08:00

I just noticed that my taste is music is seriously different from everyone else. Literally. When you take a look at someone's music library, you see English artists like Linkin Park, Rihanna, 50 Cent, Eminem, Fergie, and God knows who else. I remember those names cause' I've seen them on MTV. Either that or Chinese artists like Jay Chou, Lee Hom, SHE... Or the latest craze... Korean artists like Rain, DBSK and some other groups I don't bother remembering.

Look at mine, and you'll see Yuki Kajiura, Origa, Nubuo Uematsu, Kotoko, Kokia, Koda Kumi, Kukui, Chiaki Ishikawa, Ilaria Graziano, Hitomi Kuroishi, Yoko Shimomura, Kalafina, Fictionjunction Yuuka... And many other artists no one's even heard of.

Among my friends, there's only two, maybe three guys who share my tastes. Talk about minority. Maybe I'm weird. I used to listen to most english artists. Suddenly I just lost interest. Which is even weirder. Who loses interest in an entire language of music?Though I still listen to some english songs, I mostly listen to Japanese, Italian, Russian... Even Latin songs now. O.o

Oh well. Back to writing Chapter 3. Its entitled 'The Gleam of a Cold Knife'. Nice eh? I remember that title from one of the missions in Thief III. xD

2008-08-28T05:15:00.005+08:00

I was bored. Verily verily bored. Well, happy reading all this stuff I found on http://www.blogthings.com

You Are the Innovator

You're the type of person who is always a step ahead of everyone else.

You thrive when you're experimenting with new designs, ideas, and attitudes.

You are a creative person with many talents. You have to have artistic outlets in your life.

You need to create - whether it's writing furiously or redecorating your home. If not, your life becomes chaotic.

You tire of doing the same thing every day. You change your job, friends, and personal style often.

You are at your best when you have a focus. If not, you develop a flaky artist's temperament.

What Role Do You Play?

You Are a Realist

You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass.

You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is...

But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on.

You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

Are You An Optimist or Pessimist?

You Are 78% Grown Up, 22% Kid

Congratulations, you are definitely quite emotionally mature.

Although you have your moments of moodiness, you're usually stable and level headed.

How Emotionally Mature Are You?

You Follow Your Head

You're rational, collected, and logical.

Generally, it takes you quite a while to fall in love.

In fact, you've even been accused of being very picky.

While you're cool, you're not ice cold.

You just know what you want, and don't mind waiting to get it.

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

You See the World Through Blue Colored Glasses

You live your life with tranquility. You have faith that things will work themselves out with time.

You judge all your interactions through the lens of hope. You try to get all the facts before forming your opinion.

You face challenges with wisdom. You know that all bad things pass, and you have the confidence to see problems through.

You see love as the utmost expression of trust. Your relationships tend to be peaceful and stable.

At your worst, you can be cool, melancholy, and detached. You sometimes have to step back from emotionally charged situations.

You are at your happiest when you are able to reflect and relax.

What Color Glasses Do You See the World Through?

Your Money Personality is Tightwad

You don't spend money unless you absolutely have to.

And when you do spend, you try to go for the cheapest option possible.

You're not a penny pincher because you're poor. In fact, you may have the most cash of anyone you know.

You're a true saver. You feel safest when you can watch your bank account grow.

While more people should follow your lead, make sure you're not depriving yourself.

Spend enough money to take care of yourself in the short term, so you'll be healthy and happy for the long term.

What's Your Money Personality?

You Are a Winter Person

You are calm, serious, and focused.

You're the type of person who appreciates the quiet and calm.

Winter is the perfect time for you to get cozy and work on a hobby.

Summer is a bit too hectic for you. You like the dead of winter... preferably with a roaring fire inside.

Are You a Winter Person or a Summer Person?

You Are Pretty Charming

While you're not a natural charmer, you can be charming when you want to be.

And lucky for those around you, you usually feel like turning on the charm.

You project a happy, calm image - even when you're feeling the exact opposite.

You make people feel great about being around you... though you're not always up for putting in the effort.

Are You Charming?

Your Attention Span is Medium

Your attention span is just about average.

You may think that you have a short attention span...

But being distracted is something most people struggle with.

The most important thing is that you're aware that your mind wanders.

If you find yourself daydreaming, you can usually snap out of it.

It may be tough to concentrate at times, but you can do it... if you want to!

How's Your Attention Span?

Playstation 3

2008-08-27T15:08:00.003+08:00

No, I don't have a PS3. I WANT IT. BADLY.

So many RPGs... That I must get my hands on... Since that bloody Playstation came out, all RPGs have drifted over there, leaving close to none for the PC. Screw them. Final Fantasy, Disgaea, Tales of the Abyss, Tales of Legendia... Gah.

Thank God for Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I and II. Of course, Mass Effect too. Without these my life would be empty. The PC needs more RPGs... *sigh*

On another note, people have been telling me to stop obsessing over these things. But I can't resist. And I will probably not stop anytime soon.

Code Geass - The Final Stretch

2008-08-21T19:11:00.003+08:00

Ah... Code Geass... By far the best anime I've ever watched and so enjoyed in my life... For the unacquainted, Code Geass is an anime by Sunrise which aired its first season in 2006, spanning 25 episodes and ended during summer 2007. Since its premier, there have been numerous awards, a few being the best anime of the year, best seiyu ( voice actor ) for Kallen and Lelouch. Sadly, its fan base isn't really that big around here. And I've been promoting it ever since. xD

That's season 1 anyway, in 2008, February, the long awaited season 2 came. And damn it. It was one of those times when you are completely filled with happiness and just cannot restrain your excitement. Week by week, as each new episode came out, I would sit there dumbstruck for most of them. Have to love the plot twists.

---

What makes this anime different from the others?

Story, for one. The story setting may be your standard imaginary fare. But the way its told is what pulled me in by the neck. Another very important factor for me is its compelling characters. Lelouch is by far the best anti-hero I've ever seen. Even Yagami Light is inferior to him. Although both are geniuses in their own right, and both want to change the world, via supernatural means, Lelouch is better because he has a conscience, and the raison d'etre is to make a better world for his blind and crippled sister to live happily in. Unlike Light//Kira from Death Note, ridding the world of crime for... I don't know what actually.

The basic overview of the story is when the Holy Britannian Empire, a giant superpower of the world, besides the Chinese Federation and the Europeans, invaded and took over Japan with their experimental military machines, Knightmare Frames, which was proven extremely successful and was thereafter mass produced. Japan was then renamed as Area 11. One of the princes of Britannia, Lelouch vi Britannia, and his sister Nunnally vi Britannia, was exiled to Japan prior to the Britannian invasion. After the attack, Lelouch sworn to his friend, Kururugi Suzaku, the late prime minister of Japan's son, that he would destroy Britannia.

Seven years later, Lelouch, otherwise known as Lelouch Lamperouge, is but a normal student at Ashford Academy. Being a genius, he tends to challenge Britannian Nobles in chess for their money, gambling in other words, with chess. During one of his chess exploits, he was pulled into conflict between terrorists and the Britannian Government of Area 11. Thats when he released a girl inside a capsule, which was supposed to be a dangerous biological weapon. Being cornered by Britannian soldiers, they shot him, but the girl took the bullet straight to her head, collapsed to the floor, and died. Lelouch panicks after seeing this, thinking that he has so much he hasn't done yet, for his sister, and so on. Just then the girl grabs his wrist, and he's pulled into a dimension of sorts, where the girl talks to him.

She asks him if he has a reason to live, if he did, she will bind a contract with him, giving him what is known as the 'Power of Kings', and warns him that, with this power, he will be isolated, and he will be alone in his life. In return she wants him to grant her one of her wishes. Seeing this was his only way out, he binded the contract.

Back in the real world, he stood up, his palm was covering his left eye, and faced the squad of soldiers. He asked them, that how should Britannians who hate Britannia live? The captain realized that something was wrong. 'Whats wrong?' asked Lelouch.
'Your opponent is but a student.'
'Or have you realized, that only those who can shoot are those who are prepared to be shot?'
With that, he removed his palm, and in his eye manifested a sigil that resembled a bird.

'I, Lelouch vi Britannia commands all of you,'

'To die.'

The soldiers moved in unison, positioning their pistols at their own throats.

'Yes, your highness!'

And they pulled the trigger.

-----------

Well, there's a bit more after that, thats only the first episode. Now, as season 2 draws to a close by the beginning of October, I'm beginning to speculate on what will happen next. This anime isn't afraid of killing people off. Main characters die. Seriously, not like other anime where the main characters have God mode on and literally can't die. Code Geass has politics, action, drama, giant robots, warfare, and emotional conflict all rolled into one neat little package.

So, to all of you who actually resisted my attempts to pull you in, watch it now.

---

Only six episodes of Season 2 remain, and there are already a number of occasions that nearly made me cry. God I love Code Geass. It really has been a while since an anime that made me emotional. xD No, don't compare this to Naruto or Bleach or Tsubasa. They are NOTHING compared to this.

---

This is a long post. My longest one yet I think. I must have gone into a really mad Geass frenzy. Oh well, next episode on Monday. Can't wait.

Random Biography

2008-08-18T22:37:00.001+08:00

There is probably only one word to fully describe myself. Different. Or insane. Whichever you prefer. I love to sleep, eat, read, write, draw, and just simply observe. Most of you may know, that I'm quite anti-social in real life. Though if you only know me online, you probably won't notice this. I have little friends compared to most people. Most probably not breaching the 30 mark. I do try to keep my friends close though. Try anyway. From what I can tell, the way those who don't know me see me as a quiet, introverted person, and unapproachable. Oh, and insane.

Most people in my position would feel a bit... Uncomfortable with this. But for some reason, I don't mind. Most of the time I'm cooped up in my own world, imagining what the world could be, what I could be, which way the world will spin. Yes, I admit my exam results aren't all that good. Though I dare say I'm proficient in other areas that compensate for my weaknesses. I've had my fair share of photoshopping, website making, flash creation and some... Other more technical stuff. I do like to draw, but they are... So-so. So are my writings, I personally think they could be so much more. And yet I cannot find the words nor ideas to fill in the gaps.

Then there are the times where I just shut myself in my room, and just lie down and think. Just think. Thinking of what I did recently, and the consequences of each. One thing I can't stand about plenty of guys around my age is that they're, very, very arrogant, vain, talk big about themselves as if their Gods, and go around floundering. I can't stand them. Some prime examples are the ones in my school bus. I won't be mentioning any names here, but they've had like... What, four? Five girlfriends? And they're only 15. Either the world's spinning too fast or I'm too slow to catch up to recent events.

Speaking of which, my love life is hollow as usual. Nothing to report. I seriously do hate hormones and infatuation though. They make me do stupid things sometimes, and its extremely embarrassing. The way it nags at the back of my mind, gah, its unnerving. Thankfully, reading and playing games suppresses them. Though, the feelings do tend to get worse when I do suppress them. So if anyone has any remedies, I'm open to ideas.

Well, I'm about to go cook something right now. And I'm sleepy. Got tuition tomorrow morning as well. So, to wrap it up, I'm different, and very easily bored. Bored to a point where I can crap posts such as this and play chess against the wall. Though, it is true. So, (shrugs). A post about my inner self I guess. XD

Bloody Palace

2008-08-17T23:14:00.002+08:00

Kitt came over today. Played Magic. Got booted by his crazy decks. Then re-made my Angel of Despair deck, and made his decks cry. xD All in all, fair game.

Malaysia failed to get the Gold medal in Badminton. Well, if he had put up a decent fight, I would at least be contented with the loss. But... It was 8-21. A bloody 13 point lead. That's just SAD.

Now, onto the matter at hand. I was playing Bloody Palace mode in Devil May Cry 4. A total of 101 levels. And I took 2 hours and 34 minutes. To get to level 100. Only to lose, LOSE. Bloody Angelo Agnus. I swear I'm gonna break you apart. Piece by piece.

Anyway, that's all for today. Mostly.

Now, first and foremost. Damn you Streamyx. You are officially the WORST Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the world. Seriously. The connection is so fking unstable that I have to reconnect MSN every 5 minutes. Five. FIVE.

Secondly, thanks to your definition of good service, I can't even watch Code Geass on time now. My whopping 150kb/s download speed is now what ? 6kb/s ? Actually, it was 0.8kb/s. And also thanks to bloody five minute disconnections, my Geass download stops abruptly. And I can't even Kongai properly.

Oh and the most prestigious award of loading gmail in exactly 28 minutes and 48 seconds.

Everytime We Touch - Cascada

^ For your listening pleasure.

Thoughts

2008-06-19T15:48:00.002+08:00

Hmm. Never updated this rusty old thing in a while. Whats there to say? School, homework, food... The average monotonous life. And it gets boring. I've like... Generally planned my future.

After SPM -> College -> Diploma in IT -> Degree in IT & Network Security -> Masters -> Work

Don't think I'll find any job opportunities here. My mum suggests I go outstation, like Singapore or Australia and build my life from there. Which... Doesn't sound so bad from a result standpoint. Still, if my life DOES go that way... Well. I'm going to miss the food, my friends, and so on.

Meh. SPM isn't even over yet and I'm already starting to get a bit worried. Heck, its still roughly five years till then. I'm probably thinking too much. I still find time to watch the new episode of Code Geass R2 every Monday without fail. And Soul Eater on Saturdays or Sundays. When its subbed and released. ( the late night edition of course ) Of course, I do manga checkups a few times a week. Naruto on Fridays, To-Loveru, Fairy Tail, Rosario + Vampire, Claymore... With most of them being released only once a month.

Then there's also my plan to write a Trilogy. Sadly I don't have the name for the Trilogy as a whole. The three stories//novels//books are entitled : Forgotten Memories, Forgotten War and Forgotten Angel respectively in chronological order. Some of you will remember Forgotten Memories, the earlier one I wrote. Now more or less that poor excuse for an epic story was way too short, and I'm rewriting the entire damned thing. Oh, and FYI, Chapter I's entitled Nightfall. I don't you about you, but I think it sounds cool. =P

Gah. I'm ranting too much... Hm. Back to work. Work. Hmm. Need to stop using that word.

Iron Man

2008-06-02T15:13:00.002+08:00

Okay. Just got back from Gurney Plaza. Watched Iron Man. Oh yes. It was nice. Very very nice.

That's beside the point, while waiting for my dad to pick us up ( me, my mum and my brother ), as usual, I observed the people. And what I see?

The world has gone nuts. What? Just because I didn't go to Gurney Plaza since December last year couldn't have meant that the world just crumbled?

Why?

Simple.

Seen someone wear a black and white striped shirt, with coloured stripes, skirt, knee-high muli-coloured striped socks, and boots ?!

Hell.

The world's ending.

On a side note, you guys are probably wondering what I've done regarding the bet.

I'm going to lose. Period.

Goodbye cruel world.

The Bet

2008-05-31T16:47:00.003+08:00

Just got back from camp. Well. Not really eventful, I just sat there watching the grass grow with my friend. And with that, all hell broke loose.

No, not the participants doing something bad.

I...

Made a bet.

You could say it was a bit like gambling. You could say it was illegal. Temptation got the better of me. And now I feel like I'm utterly, utterly SCREWED.

What's the bet you ask?

Well, since I'm like half-asleep, I'll tell you all. Yay.

The Bet : Exactly two months from now, I have to... Uh... Make this girl my girlfriend.
She's okay and all, but for those of you who know even a quarter of me, getting a girlfriend is... Impossible. Of course, like any sane clone of me, I said heck no.
Then came the temptation. He said that if I could accomplish it in two months... I get to pick a card from his file. Which was, well, not very tempting, but he spiced it up by saying that if I can achieve this goal within ONE month, I get to pick two cards, and finally, if within two weeks, I get to pick three. Three. THREE.

So, in the end, I blame my bloody weak will to ignore those temptations. Naturally, I regained my senses after the deal was sealed.

So yeah. I'm so, utterly, utterly, screwed beyond my imagination.

Edit: Seems like I totally forgot to write what would happen if I lost. Well, technically I have to attend whatever function he plans to make in the future, and to me, thats a threat that could jeopardize my strictly-indoor-staring-at-the-pc-lifestyle. Again, I repeat, screwed.

Disapperance

2008-05-29T17:50:00.002+08:00

Yes, due to reasons I am about to explain, I will... Disappear, until Saturday.

One word.

One word only.

Camp

You know how it is.

Sucks.

I'll be there playing card games, staring at the field, and sleeping on oh-so-comfortable concrete.

Ah. Happy days.

2008-05-18T08:27:00.002+08:00

...

I'm now extremely sad. Mx0 has ended, with 99 chapters. I seriously wasn't expecting it end so soon... *sobs*

Why... Why so soon... Well, it was fun while it lasted. Gah... I'm going to brood in my room now... T.T

Another Banner !

2008-05-17T14:15:00.002+08:00

A side banner. Yes. I've gone mad with photoshop. Again. Oh, and the banner is random ! It changes every time you reload the page ! =D Theres... Lelouch, CC, Guren + Lancelot, and Anya !

As usual, its Code Geass. Duh. What makes you think I'll do anything but Code Geass ? Meh. I'm updating this sorry excuse for a blog more than usual. Weird. Must be the lack of games and other things to do. No, thats does not include studying.

Speaking of games...

I can't finish Assassin's Creed, because it laggs so much. And I simply refuse to lower the graphic quality.
Yes I still play Cabal... I'll be showing off my other character when the holidays arrive... *snigger*
Kane's Wrath got boring after I massacred the GDI and Scrin forces over and over again using my favored Nod. Harassing Harvesters with a team of Stealth Tanks are always fun to watch. Not to mention the opponent's crumbling economy. *nodnod*
I tried Trickster. And it was... Okay.. For about two hours.
Maplestory still sucks.
DotA still sucks.
Unreal Tournament is still the best multiplayer game I ever played.
The Sims 3 is looking good.
So is Dawn of War II.
GTAIV actually got a perfect 10 from Gamespot. Which is IMPOSSIBLE. And makes me want to play it to see it for myself. Sucks I have to wait at least a few more months for a PC version.

And thats it. I'm going to go and pillage some random village now. See ya.

New Banner !

2008-05-16T22:39:00.003+08:00

Yes. About time I put my years of Photoshop skills to use. Getting a bit rusty. Mm.

Obviously, its Code Geass. Used three pictures from the first episode of season 2. Merged them together, a bit of blending, resizing, picture adjustments, overlays, and a slight touch of brushes. Not bad if I do say so myself.

On to the exam. Physics. Paper II massacred me. Paper I was surprisingly.... Easy... Anyway, Chemistry on Tuesday. Yay~ Doomed.

In any case, its 10.44pm and I'm sleepy. *yawn*

Gonna make more Geass related stuff tomorrow. Lelouch, CC and Kallen deserve my undivided attention.

The 1B Examinations

2008-05-09T04:55:00.002+08:00

Yep. Exams start in... exactly one hour and thirty-five minutes. Biology I, and Additional Mathematics I. Oh JOY.

And so another term ends, and SPM is yet again another step closer to annihilating me. Well, thats my life. Another day, another challenge. Another challenge, another devious plan to avoid the challenge altogether.

*puts on Dancing in the Velvet Moon*

Come on exams. Do. Your. Worst. *is in Battle Mode I*

Hey Look ! Its an update !

2008-04-29T16:05:00.003+08:00

Fine. So I feel guilty about literally abandoning this thing for... A few weeks. Its not like anyone reads this anyway. Meh.

Since my previous Nonsensical post, I've been... Anime-ing since then. Code Geass R2, Soul Eater, ToLove-Ru... And the big game of LiFE proceeded as normal. School, the computer, anime, manga, friends, my story and bla bla bla.

Exam's next week. Friday. For the next two weeks. Hoorah !!! ~~ Not.

Its going to get in the way of my weekly dose of Geass. And I know I should be studying instead of fretting over an anime. ( I simply refuse to use the word cartoon. ) FYI, Code Geass ROX in case you didn't know already. I now have a simple request. All of you, yes, ALL OF YOU, must at least watch the 1st episode. You read me, MUST. It a mix of Death Note-esque Characters + devious planning and Gundam-esque robots. No, you do not need to be a mecha fan to watch it. Main character, Lelouch, is one hell of an anti-hero protagonist. Simply put, you either LOVE or HATE Code Geass. Since season 2 is already here, already at Episode 4, I suggest all you poor unacquainted lads to watch the first season.

Lazy to download? No problem. I'll give you an online stream right here.

Now go forth foolish mortals. Watch and be addicted.
