Argh. I am so frustrated. Want sick don't want sick. Want die don't want die.
My "Illness". It's like fever but not really fever. Got a bit of headache but not really headache. My throat hurts something and sometimes it's fine. GRRRR... It's making me real mad. If I'm fully sick I'll go see a doctor. Now, I'm at this point where "see doctor is overkill, don't see won't recover" stage. Eat panadol also no use, sleep also no use. I don't even know if I'm sick or not.
Whole day like feel tired but couldn't sleep, want to go out but feel weak, use com a bit feel giddy, sit down do nothing feel angry... DAMN IT!
I'm in such a horrible mood. Feel like there's a lot of stuff inside me that I can't solve. Why can't I just do something, properly, from the start to the end. Why can't I just make up my mind. I just see every single day slip pass me one by one and I didn't do anything. I have a lot of thing to do but I don't know where to start.
Or maybe... just maybe... I think I'm trying to accomplish too much. More precisely, I think I care too much about unimportant things and neglect the really important things. Why do I keep doing those useless, unnecessary things over and over and over again? I think I'm enlightened...
I just want 2 to be healthy and happy. They're both linked to vegetables.
I think I'm really neglected my health. I don't eat enough vegetables. I hate "vegetables". "Vegetables" are causing me lot of unhappiness.
I'm going to eat up all the vegetables. It not only makes me healthy, it makes me happy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to watch the movie "I am a Legend" with MZ.
I wouldn't say it's horrible, but... the story is just very thin. Not much development. I thought the portion where he kills his own dog could be even more emotional if they put in enough effort.
It gets pretty intense at certain portions (even scary) though, but the ending is just way way too abrupt. The title of the movie is also no link. It has almost no link with the story...

Triple Happiness!
我相信，胜利将永远属於正义的一方！
We have lost battles after battles, and we were hurt again and again. Many lives were lost and many homes were destroyed. But in the end, victory belongs to the righteous side.
We prevailed! All hope is not lost!
老天有眼！人间有情！
There was one point, one point when I really lost all hope. But in the very end...
I'm glad my trust was not misplaced. Miracles do exists!
Another good news.
I've completed my last OD of the year.
Still a lot to go, but well, at least I can take a break now.
And the BEST NEWS of all.
My Grand "Early-Reincarnation Plan" is on the way. So happy. I've talked to almost all the necessary personnels and got all the items ready. Now I just have to wait for the eastern wind to blow... Well actually, it's just up to me to do a little bit of research and very careful planning before I launch this plan into action.
This is the most important plan and will take the most effort to maintain. I must come up with a really good strategy to squeeze the every last bit of goody out this plan, at the same time ensuring that I don't go overboard and screw it up. These few days would be a perfect time to work this out.
One little unfortunate thing... The last OD really took a toil on me (don't know why. It was supposed to be the easiest...) and now I'm suffering from frequent headaches. Even felt like vomiting when I eat. Geez. Hope I can recover by tomorrow and it doesn't ruin my hoilday.

Believing in a miracle...
(Note: Many "subjects" were changed to make this post even most confusing...Some errors were intended)
Do you believe in miracles?
Today I look into the sky and see the moon is shrouded by dark clouds...
It's like the gathering of evil forces.
The results seems inevitable...
It said it with such certainty that even I am shaken. I really am.
Will it really happen? Really, really come true? Will the diabolical plan come to fruition?
I don't know... just a little while ago, someone... somebody I trust, promised me that she will not let it come true. She told me to set my mind at ease. She is the only one that can stop it, and she said she will...
But time is running out... she is nowhere to be seen. The approaching calamity...
Her words are the only consolations I have now. It is the only little glimpse of light and hope I can rely on... It's like fragments of a "soon to be broken" promise. I felt that I could really trust her. Will she keep her promise?
Will a miracle really happen?

I miss Poly Days...
The schooling days...
You know...
- Eating together at Foodcourt 6 at lunchtime
- Visiting "Art-Flen" and eating "Fa Cai"...
- Playing cluedo on the staircase while waiting for Chanon lesson to start
- Falling asleep during DEUI classes, and wondering if we can "Fry"...
- Spending 3 hours killing brain cells together at Hubertus practical
- Laughing our heads off at Arthur Poh lectures
- 'Chionging' assignments together in the school labs 2 days before the hand-in date
- Complaining how it take years to render the animation in the crappy computer labs
- 'Suanning' each other about who and who are together...
- Sending 'secret messages' via the computer during lessons...
- Counting how many times the audio lecturer will bang the table
- Wondering what movie we'll get to see again at the next Storyboarding class
- Looking forward to the next episode of Happy Tree Friends in the Maths class
- Slacking off together in the "secret corner" at level 1 during break and talking thrash...
- Playing the "Secret Code" aka "Zhong Ji Mi Ma" at Foodcourt 5, using Pizza Hut red pepper as punishment...
- Creating the 10 games for Hyper Relay...
Wow... feeling emotional just from typing out that list.
It's almost the end of they year...
過去的歲月已不會再回頭, 未來的路仍然要走~
Really 怀念 those days...
There were excitement and nervousness, joy and sadness, fear and anticipation, cooperation and teamwork, vigor and youth...
Now, I only experience ONE emotion 90% of the time.
Yep... ultimate sian.
Not that I don't experience that in the Poly, but...
It's a "Different Kind of Sian".
Poly sian is the kind where you have to wake up early in the morning to get to school. Where you have to sit through boring lectures and forcing yourself to stay awake. Where you die die have to finish an assignment you have no clue how to do.
Here, the sian is on a much deeper level. It is not just those "superficial" kind of sian. It is the sian which plunged deep into your heart. It is a cancer that grows in your body and drains the very life force out of your body, your mind and your soul. It is a fatal kind of sian.
It is like on a totally different scale. Almost every day I have to go through this feeling over and over and over... It's driving me nuts!
The sian-ness is unbearable. It's doing something over and over and over again which SERVES NO PURPOSE. It drains your energy and fulfill nothing significant.
Dear god when can I go back to the schooling days.

Expectations... Ha!
I've never been more afraid of phone calls in my entire life...
Just the sound of it ringing send a chill down my spine. I sleep in the night fearing the deadly tone of my phone.
...
...
It doesn't pay to be the "good guy". In the movies, good guys always get set up and dies. Or spend his entire life in poverty until the very end. The good guy never gets the girl of his dream until the end. It's the evil guy that always get away with everything, only to die the most glorious death. It's almost the same in reality.
Seriously it's dumb. Like... look. If someone has always perform badly, nobody dares to say anything about him. They are just like "live with it". But, if someone who usually perform very well, did something bad ONE TIME, everyone is like "oh he screws up", and "I never thought he's someone like that".
I mean... WTF is that shit. So, you're saying that it's okay to play truant if you do it all the time (until everyone "know your pattern"), but it's not okay if you skip school for once.
I get it now. It's something call "expectation". Once you get used to the good guy, you always expect him to perform. And you'll punish him seriously if he mess up.
This is so unfair. I don't think nobody realize this. Kid A always top the class and one day he fails a paper. His parents will all be like "Oh what happen? I must now ban him from going out with his friends and watching TV ".
If the same thing happen to Kid B who frequently performs badly, his parents will be like "Oh, what can I do. I can't bother to lecture him. He's always like that."
Can you imagine how Kid A must have felt? He'll be like "how come my mum doesn't punish brother for doing badly, but I have to face such serious consequences."
How come some people can get away slacking off whole day but nobody dare to say a word. And when those that work all the time just want to take some time off, people start pointing finger. If one day the slacker really did some work, people will treat it as "extra bonus".
It is the epitome of stupidity but we all do it in some way without realizing it.
All the work, all the responsibility gets handed to you. You don't receive any reward for completing it, but you better bet there is hell to pay if you fail to complete it.
So, what's the morale of this story?

Star Awards 2007
It's usually one event that I won't miss every year, even if I barely watch a single TV show the whole year. It's just entertaining to watch the speech by the various artists. I still remember the speech given by Huang Bi Ren's last week when she received the "Most well-liked local female artist", and she was so surprised that she said this...
"通常这种特设的奖项，每次都是看惠玉跟文方轮流再拿。。。真的没想到是我。"
(This kind of special award, always is Zoe and Fann taking turns to take... never expected it to be me)
LOL... But she really deserved the award.
Surprised to see some of the guests, like Zhou Hui Min. Haha. And haven't seen Sharon Au in quite a while. She was one of Mediacorp's best entertainment host, whenever she team up with Quan Yi Feng or Kym.
破茧而出 won the Best Drama of the year, which I think is justified. It's one of the few show that I would actually turn on the TV to watch, and probably one of Mediacorp best action drama in years.
Carmen won the Best supporting actress from 幸福双人床... Haha. If you can portray an "evil" character until the audience hates you, I think you've succeeded. Well, actually Carmen is not a totally evil person, but she's been cheated so many times that she uses all sort of underhand means to get love.
Best Female lead also by Lin Xiang Ping from 破茧而出... not that she's not good, but I was hoping Huang Bi Ren will get. (Then again, they probably think she receive it too many times liao lah...)
I've been re-watching The Unbeatables, aka 双天至尊 lately. Even though after so many years, it's still extremely enjoyable to watch. I would say it's one of the really classic show of Mediacorp and one of my all-time favourite. I would like to think that Unbeatables III never happened, cause it absolutely suck. The script, the gambling scenes and everything. Overused visual effects with exaggerated moves - cards flying halfway across the room and computerized battles. The original Unbeatables is better in every aspect. The gambling battles keeps you on the edge of the seat, the character development are better and the plot is better.
Great Awards Ceremony, very enjoyable. Especially the final portion, when almost every male artist that went on stage is "Fann's husband". Haha.

Bullfighting - First Impressions
对我来说， 原来爱情与斗牛精神，是一样的。
不论你的防守有多严密，只要我喜欢你
就一定会找出你的破绽，突破你
抄截你，穿越你，然后得分。
如果你也好奇，这个关于斗牛跟爱情的故事
就跟我看场真心相对的爱情赛事吧。
Beautiful scene. This scene will probably aired on the last episode, but it's right there at the beginning... totally looking forward to it.
This is Hebe's (Sheng Xue) first time acting as the male lead for a drama, starring Lee Wei (Zi Cong) and Mike He (Ruo He).
The story happens in the "13 street", where an annual "Bullfighting" competition is held to determine the ownership of the Basketball Court. It jumps straight into action almost as soon as the story begins, after some basic character intro. Xue is the daughter of the landlord of 13 street, guarded by the bodyguard Cong. They are kind of like the "Black Triads" though... Ruo is one of the representatives fighting for East Sun school which Xue supported. When he lost, he was confronted by Xue...
Hebe as Sheng Xue - She's like your typical "My Sassy" girl. I don't really like the character from the start. Very bossy, full of herself, rebellious, take other people kindness for granted. But as the story progresses, it begins to reveal more of her good side, and her attitude begins to change...
Mike as Ruo He - Same old personality and character! Seriously, 3 dramas, Devil Beside You, Why Why Love and this. Mike always act the same kind of character. The "bad male lead" who hates the female, but eventually fell in love with her due to strange circumstances... LOL. But he's good at acting this stuff. Here, he's a cold person who cares only about winning, but changes gradually due to Xue's appearance.
Lee Wei as Zi Cong - Always beside Sheng Xue, protecting her, guarding her. He simply obey all her orders and everything... there are certain portions in the story when you'll actually feel sad for him. But I like this character.
The acting here is of much better quality compared to Hana Kimi, which I reviewed around the same time last year. It is more dramatic and romance to being comedic... and I really enjoyed it.
The intense basketball fight scenes and the heart-warming moments here and there. It's not just limited to the love part, but also the whole "13th Street". And of course just like every idol drama out there, this one has some hilarious moments as well.
Overall I would say it's better than Hana Kimi, and that includes the OST! The songs are really good, almost all of the 8 tracks. Of course, S.H.E's 最近还好吗 is the best... Haha. It looks extremely beautiful when coupled with the feather scene. I really like Hebe's solo in the album as well.

It's my 21st birthday!
Really... got nothing much to say. Haha.
I wanted to be more happy on this day but I couldn't find any reasons to.
This morning, I was woken up under one of the worst possible scenarios.
Yep...
Woken up by a call from the cursed place. (Yeah you know where)
Haiz... what else?
More bad news.
Even on my birthday I have to go through this kind of mental torture. I've already given up.
The future just got even bleaker.
I think this is one of the worst "birthday presents' I can get.
Well... I shan't talk about this on this "happy occassion", so I'll leave it to next time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah~ 21st birthday.
That is like every little kid "dream".
The time when "everything" becomes legal. When you become an adult. When you gain independence! Now I can go straight to ROM to get married without my parents approval.
Haha... anyway, it's just like any other birthdays for me. Not much plans. I am just not the kind of people that would 大费周章 to organize some big party for a birthday. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's not good to have some huge gatherings, but it's just something that doesn't happen in my family. Or maybe you can say that I'm just lazy. It's something that my mother has "inculcate" into me since young. ^_^
Anyway, it's good to know that there are people who care. Thanks to all the people who bother to text me a happy birthday message. It was quite "unexpected" for receive some of them... (GS, Chap, Samantha to name a few) I even received a present from my brother's GF... duh?
Oh and I shall assume that Ben's birthday song is for me. Or more accurately, "happen to be" for me.
And my mum. Haiz... she always tell me to "don't stay up too late"... But she doesn't understand my work schedule. It's not that I don't want to rest early but it is totally out of my means. I am tired of explaining to her. -_-
Anyway... I did went out for a simple dinner with the whole family at a local restaurant. Usual stuffs like shark fins and abalone, kinda like a wedding dinner. I really enjoy eating-out with everyone. It's very relaxing and filling... especially when you don't need to pay. Ha ha ha...
Happy birthday to Samantha, Param, Chiow. (I actually know 3 other people who shares my birthday)
My birthday wish is...
...

The Table Theory
Let me show you this. A table.
You put stuff on the table.
The table have legs, and there are a fixed number of them, which determines how strong the table it. It decides how much load the table can endure, how much weight it can support.
This brand new, strong and durable table with 30+ legs. And then, you keep putting stuff on it. You pile load after load of junk onto it. 10Kg, 100Kg, 1000Kg.
Then 10 Tonnes, then 20 tonnes. Eventually the table will give way and collapse. And the day has come.
One by one, the legs have given way, broken under the tremendous pressure.
And what happens? This means the remaining legs have to endure even more pressure.
There are 2 ways you can do to savage the situation now.
1) Strengthened or add more legs.
2) Reduce the load on the table.
But, that would be too kind.
No way we're going to do that. We're going to keep putting shit on the table.
We won't rest until this thing is destroyed.

Dolphin Voice...
Recently, 2 songs caught my attention for having this "Dolphin Pitch"...
They are F.I.R's "Ai Guo" and Jay Chou's "Wu Shuang", both in their respective new albums.
So, what exactly is this "Dolphin Pitch" craze?
Let Mr Harlem teach you... (1min 10 seconds)
Beautiful, exhilarating.
Of course, there are also many people who tried to hit this legendary dolphin pitch and fails miserably.
Jacky Wu for example.
Tanya is not bad hor? There are also clips of Rainie, Ella and even Hebe attempting to sing this pitch.
Anyway, I think Jacky Wu should go back to singing the Tamil Song.
Or go back to his free-style rap.
Finally, let's end with a more serious note. This girl managed to sing the "Dolphin Song" so well it gives me the goosebumps.

Mediacorp 25 Year Of Drama...
Just finished watching the special programme on Channel 8...
Wow... brought back lots of memories... feeling kinda nostalgic... seeing so many old actors, old clips, and listening to those drama theme songs...
Here's a list of all Mediacorp Dramas
In my opinion, the "classic era" of Mediacorp is long gone. And the quality of dramas and actors now cannot be compared with that of the past. Even though I say that, I must admit that the main reason I feel that way is that I no longer watch TV that often. Since the "Internet Boom" in 2000s, the time I spent watching TV got lesser and lesser...
The first few dramas from my childhood memory are probably 早安老师, 双天至尊, etc...
Even though it's impossible to remember the storylines, the name alone confirms that I've watched the serial before... haha.
Stuffs like: 一号凶宅, 侠义包公, 缘尽今生, 医胆仁心, 妈姐情缘, 女子监狱, 创意兴家, 金枕头, 再见萤光兰
豆腐街, 阳光列车, 解连环, 新阿郎 all have great opening songs.
1997 was probably the start of Mediacorp "golden age". So many of my favourite series shown during that year.
真命小和尚, 都是夜归人, 和平的代价, 不老的传说, 长河 (Great Theme)...
And that golden period extends and reaches its peak in 1998 (probably the best year in its entire history)... so many classic shows...
钢琴88 (Nice duet opening)
家人有约 (Huang Bi Ren + Xie Shao Guang undying classic)
神雕侠侣 (Fav show at that time... started my comic hobby)
欲望街车 (The title just rings a bell... a very funny show)
卫斯理传奇 (Again fuel my comic collection)
东游记 (Who doesn't know this classic show...Guo Fei Li's work to fame)
陌生人 (One of my fav show... this one is about stocks)
珍珠街坊 (Another classic)
And a lot of others... 1999 is still pretty good, featuring 福满人间 and 出路. 2000 onwards I spent much lesser time watching TV... Some serials I remember includes...
笑傲江湖, 何日军再来, 我来也 (Very nice ending theme), 白蛇新传, 豹子胆 (Fav), 九层糕 (Fav), 春到人间, 荷兰村, 喜临门, 同心圆
More recently in 2007... cause of OD, I actually watch quite a number of shows... Haha.
十三鞭, 幸福双人床 (cute show), 宝家为国 (talk about propa-u know), 破茧而出
Haha...
播音人: 我是陈美光光光光光。。。

S.H.E Collection...
I always thought my collection of S.H.E stuff was pretty impressive, but...
I totally bow down to this person...
It's like comparing Bukit Timah Hill to Mt Everest. It's like comparing the glow of a matchstick to the brightness of the Sun. It's like Hornswoggle running into Great Khali.
I really 五体投地
Is he or she a millionaire or something?

Kinda freaked out...
Luckily nothing happen...
Very tired liao... sleep time...

A new historical movie...?
One Commendable Emperor.
One Evil Prime Minister.

Getting caught up...
I'm really bogged down by lots of things lately...
It is a really bad time...
So many unhappy things happening almost everyday...
Things out of our control...
I don't think I've ever been in a worse state.
My house is in a mess... I kept piling junk into my drawer. Today I opened it and saw something extremely disgusting... Some crea... damn!
What have I been doing for the past month?! Am I living in a garbage dump?!
Grrrr...
I really don't know...
Sometimes, I feel that there are so many things I want to do. So many things I want to get started on, so many things I want to accomplish. But at the end of the day, I've done absolutely nothing about it.
It's like I just give up. There's just so many things and I don't know where to start, or how to start. I just give up and lie there doing nothing. I feel like I'm rotting away into oblivion...
My last major leave (2nd longest after the Block Leave) is coming soon... I made up my mind to do something about this mess. It's not just the physical condition of my house, but everything. Spiritually, Mentally, Physically, Emotionally, Financially (yeah, I'll explain some day)...
I must stop myself from going into this downward spiral. Else I will really breakdown when hell unleashes on the 1st Jan 08. I will never forgive myself if I waste this last stretch of leave.

Rank & Respect...
For some reason, this quote from Mr Low just come back to me...
I think it came back to me for some reason.
"Rank is what you wear, Respect is what you earned."
How true...
It's like...
You bow down to the Emperor because it's mandatory, but whether you respect him deep down in your heart is another question all together...

Angry Video Game Nerd
I got to know this guy just recently...
He is just incredibly awesome. I don't know how to put it into words. LOL. You HAVE to watch his videos to experience it yourself.
To put it simply, he review those old school games from the past, from the ages of Atari to Nitendo to Sega.
If you play games from young, great! But even if you don't, you'll laugh till you cry...
If you don't believe me... just watch ONE... one of his countless videos. Note that this video, and basically all his videos, contain a lot of expletives and coarse language. So... you've been warned.
"This game is so hard... it would actually be easier to go outside in a thunderstorm and try to dodge rain."
"Touch the ceiling you die, touch the floor you die, a little to left you die... a little to right you die...you die! you die! you die! you die! die die die die die!"
If you don't find that funny I don't know what to say... If you like it, this is another one for your viewing pleasure. Haha.
"Do you stand? Do you duck? Either way, you're f***ed"
"Oh god...please no....PLEASE....no... (priceless expression)"

Serving under a tyrannical king...
This is sort of a sequel to the "Top of the Pyramid" post, and I want to explore this subject further - because certain things have happened, or are going to happen...
In an argument, which factor stands higher? Power & Authority, or Facts & Reasons? Whether you agree or not, it's definitely the former.
When you have power, when you have authority, you are ALWAYS right. Yes, always. Isn't there a saying in the service sector that goes "the customer is always right"? That's because they have the money, and money is power, money is authority.
Even with reason on your side, it is entirely useless against a greater power. It is pointless. A loyal adviser can only suggest the best cause of action, but it is the King who decides. The King decides the fate of all his men and people. And when you are ruled by a despotic and tyrannical King, you can only hope for the best.
The King doesn't understand the pain of his people. He only cares about how he's going to build the perfect country, to draft more military for war, to make his men work harder, to carry out harsher punishments, to implement tougher laws, to rise the taxes... etc...
In the end, it is those at the bottom who suffer... Haiz...
Imagine you are a servant for a King like this. A king so evil and merciless. Yet, you cannot turn on him, nor defect to another country. It's hell... you just have to resign to your fate. How can there be someone so uncaring and emotionless. All your people hates you, do you know that?
Those who knows, will know.
In a chaotic era like these... will an uprising help to bring down this domineering and overbearing moron?

Facebook... Sucks.
I've never been a fan of those social profiling sites. Or "social network service" according to wiki.
Friendster, MySpace, Facebook... never caught my attention.
I signed up for Friendster long time ago out of curiousity, but I've never used it since. I signed up for Facebook not long ago after an invitation, but I barely used it anyway.
Let's see... Facebook is WAY too complicated. Actually... complicated is not the right word. It's more like... tedious. The interface is clunky, you are fed with too much unnecessary information, 99% of the games and applications are pointless...
The first day I signed up, it look like it's going to be good. But I lost interest after using it for 30 minutes. First, every single thing any of your friend do will be fed as news to you. Then, you got like 1 million requests for you to install stupid "plugins" to your page, which just serve to clutter your main page. Look at how many stupid requests I've got after 1 month.
Sorry, but I got sick of handling these crap. It's more like a chore than something fun. It's like having to go through spam when you're reading emails.
Yes. SPAM. All these applications are FREAKING USELESS. What's the point of having those things that poke your friends? The first time I received it, I was like... WTF?!
Then there are those werewolves invitations, vampire invitations, zodiac invitations, even "dim sum" invitations.
Oh Yeah~~ those are some REAL USEFUL shit.
I'm sorry but I've never bothered to even look through those. I think it's a total waste of time. I mean... tell me seriously, what's the point to poke your friend? or tickle him? or whatever?
Everytime I login, I got to handle numerous requests, and see one whole page of feed that shows who I've been poked by, and who just break his own high score in which game. Or worse, who has install what application.
Do I look like I frigging care? -_-
You don't even have much control over what news get feed to you. Yes, there's some sort of sliders but it's vague and you can't have precise control. I have no idea how Facebook got as big as it did. It is just a fad. Yes, it does have some potential and neat ideas, but it's way too cluttered and complex.
I have once sat down and said, "Okay, let me use an hour or two to customize my Facebook"...
But I gave up.
It's something you have to put in effort everyday to keep it up to date (there's like ten thousand new applications released everyday). Oh, that 'request' screenshot I posted above? I've only got less than 10 friends in my profile and that's what I got. I cannot imagine what kind of nightmare I will have if I add like 100 friends. It's like subscribing to 100 spamming websites.
The main problem I have is that there is way too much going on. It is impossible to review them all. Your friend invite you to play this game with him, oh gotta play this IQ quiz with that guy, gotta join the vampire club, gotta return a tickle to her... gotta gotta gotta.
Bottom line: Facebook Sucks. You can find more reasons here.

Everytime I login, I got to handle numerous requests, and see one whole page of feed that shows who I've been poked by, and who just break his own high score in which game. Or worse, who has install what application.
Do I look like I frigging care? -_-
You don't even have much control over what news get feed to you. Yes, there's some sort of sliders but it's vague and you can't have precise control. I have no idea how Facebook got as big as it did. It is just a fad. Yes, it does have some potential and neat ideas, but it's way too cluttered and complex.
I have once sat down and said, "Okay, let me use an hour or two to customize my Facebook"...
But I gave up.
It's something you have to put in effort everyday to keep it up to date (there's like ten thousand new applications released everyday). Oh, that 'request' screenshot I posted above? I've only got less than 10 friends in my profile and that's what I got. I cannot imagine what kind of nightmare I will have if I add like 100 friends. It's like subscribing to 100 spamming websites.
The main problem I have is that there is way too much going on. It is impossible to review them all. Your friend invite you to play this game with him, oh gotta play this IQ quiz with that guy, gotta join the vampire club, gotta return a tickle to her... gotta gotta gotta.
Bottom line: Facebook Sucks. You can find more reasons here.

Jay Chou Parody Remakes
For some reason, lot of people LOVE remaking Jay's MTVs and songs. The following are my hand-picked, Top 5 Remakes.
Number 5 - Jay's Chou "Tui Hou". Of course, it makes use of Jay's bad pronunciation to sub it with some explicit lyrics. This one goes into the 5th place, because only the chorus part is quite funny. The rest are just fillers. Some of the words are also quite forced.
Number 4 - "Feng", and the creator sequel to the infamous "Qi Li Xiang". Not as funny, but at least all the words fits perfectly.
Number 3 - "Fa Ru Xue". There were like at least 3 remakes of this songs on Youtube, but this one is the best. It's not too crude/vulgar like one of them, and it's not too "chim" until you can barely understand.
Number 2 - "Qian Li Zhi Wai". This is the only one on the list that is a KTY. (Changing the lyrics) And it's the only one that is not explicit. LOL. It's about owning someone 10 dollars and how someone took revenge on him... The part where the curtains opens and Fei Yu Qing begins to sing is hilarious...
Number 1 - "Qi Li Xiang"... Haha. I think this is still the best even though it's bee around for a long time. What Jay sings and the lyrics matches almost perfectly. If you don't know the original song you'll probably think that that is the lyrics itself.

"姿势忘了怎么退后？姿势放松会比较好做"

"我那谁模的球舔"
Number 3 - "Fa Ru Xue". There were like at least 3 remakes of this songs on Youtube, but this one is the best. It's not too crude/vulgar like one of them, and it's not too "chim" until you can barely understand.
"你爽没？苦痛也换不回。。。我蛋袋插牢了谁"...

"你说你舍不得吃掉这种感觉"
What's the point... what's the point?
Getting more and more peeved... I think he did it on purpose. He's really a bastard.
Say liao also my fault.
Don't say also my fault.
Argue also my fault.
Explain also my fault.
What's the point?
WHAT'S THE DAMN POINT.
I give up.

WHAT'S THE DAMN POINT.

Almost lost my HP... almost...
Wah...today really high sia...
For a moment I really thought I lost the phone. I was like...
S.H.I.T!
When I realize it wasn't with me.
Luckily, I regain my composure and quickly traced back to where I last used the phone. It's either at the stupid island, or on the bus. Hopefully it's the latter.
I called back to the bus company, got the bus IC phone no, and finally got to the driver number. He was like "What?! You're telling me now?", as he dropped us off like 1/2 hr ago.
Luckily, he quick check and my phone was still on the bus...
He'll passed on to today OD guys...
Damn...
I'm damn lucky...
$400 -_-
Use less than 2 months nia...
Guess I'll have to be extra extra extra careful next time.

College Saga
This video is one of the MOST entertaining video I've EVER seen. You probably won't get it if you don't play console RPGs though.
It's a must see if you're a fan of RPGs (particularly those old school rpgs). Lots of elements are derived from Final Fantasy (especially FF8), some from Zelda, and other minor RPGs. The music and sound effects really bring back memories.
Best parts are probably the "Chocobo Riding", "Dick Cheney", "meeting with Leviathan"... many many more.
Imagine your life as an RPG...

Media Monkey
Haha... just used my brother credit card to hoot up MediaMonkey (MM) lifetime license. It took LONG enough man... real long. Somehow, I felt that it's about time I give tribute to the developers for creating such a godsend piece of program. It's a musical heaven~
About 2 years ago, I got sick of Winamp, of Window Media Player, of iTunes, of Realplayer, of MusicMatch, of all the major music managers/players out that you can think of. I began on a journey to search for the BEST music player of all. I couldn't recalled how many I actually tried (From open source to trial products, from freeware to shareware)... every single one I could get my hands on.
Until I settled on MM, and I've never regret it to this day.
Been using it for over a year now, and when MM3 moves closer and closer to release date (saw it went from alpha to beta to RC), I know it's time I contribute to this project. Originally wanted to wait till the release of MM3, but I couldn't resist after trying out RC1... went to hoot the lifetime license right away. Hahaha...
The best things about MM is its great versatility. You can make almost any function, any addition features you want yourself by using scripting, customizing the player itself to your liking. It has a great community that keeps updating scripts and coming out with new functions all year round.
I've just moved to MM3, and since MM3 is really new (it's not even released yet in fact), there isn't really much available yet. Here are some of my favourite screenshots of different people's MM... really shows you to what extend you can "individualize" your music jukebox.
Hope I got you interested. If you're a music lover and still using "crap" like Winamp, give MM a try. You can use the free version for unlimited period, and it contains all the basic functionalities.
Gold version contains stuffs like Advanced Search (e.g. Bring me a list of all chinese songs between 2000 to 2005, with a 4 star rating above), File Monitor and other features to allow you to customize your library even further.
I would even go as far as to say that MM changed my computing experience, and I'll definitely rate it as the top 3 most important programs I've used. (And using)
Try it out!

K9KBox
Before that, I'm quite upset with a new system being implemented. I think it's extremely tiring to proceed to the washing after running... but bo bian...
And the worse thing is cannot take off on these days! WTH?! All my support this entire month is ON those days. God... how you want me to clear?
*Take knife and stabs myself
Took half day off, went out with Joseph, Mun Wei, Wei Long, Edwin and Benjamin to KBox. Been a long time since I've been to one. (Outcast by Pol... nevermind)
Joined later by Joseph's girl and Yun Zhen. Nothing much.... I thought the last 45 minutes was more worth it than the 4 hours in front... ^_^
I guess there are really 2 types of songs in KTV. Those that let you show off your skills, and those that let you scream and 'get high'. LOL. We spammed all the 2nd type of songs at the end. When you get everyone to sing together, whether the tune/pitch is correct no longer matters that much... Hahaha. We just need it to be LOUD.
Really tired now. The morning run (after missing it for nearly a month) is starting to get to me now. I'm really sleepy...
I think I need to come up with a "Sleep Deprivation Act" (A set of rules that I had to adhere to strictly for my own good)....
Next time... next time...

Flooded E-mail!
Walau... I'm so fed up with my email accounts.
I use 2 of them, one for more important and official stuffs (like school). The other for misc stuffs like gaming sites etc.
This system was great until... somehow, someway, my "official email" get flooded with lots of crap. I think I happened to sign up some crap sites with that email, and now I'm getting spam, spam and more spam.
It's been over a year now I think. I remembered that time, 2 weeks i never check the mail... 200 pieces of junk on my Thunderbird. I've used the junk filter again and again and again, but it just doesn't seem to do any good to the endless stream of spam. In fact, my "junk mail" actually became cleaner then the official one. (because it got deactivated for long period of inactivity)
Anyway, I'm so fed up with it that I give up maintaining. I clean once and the next time I check, around 50 mails of junk. Things to do increasing the size of something by about 1000000%, or some lottery of $100 billion dollars (making you richer than bill gates) scam and all sorts of shit.
For every authentic mail (invitations to facebook, newsletter that I actually subscribed), I got about 20 junk mails. I'm really sick of it.
I want to start a new email account, but what am I suppose to do with all those things I needed in the old mail? Can I make them "auto transfer" to the new email? I don't want to go around a dozen websites signing up again using the new email.
Any ideas? -_-

The last time I picked up a storybook...
That was like...
Let's just say, F-ing long ago!
Oh, by a "storybook", I don't mean books like "1001 ways to program in C++" or "Get rich in 24 hours" or "How to attain immortality"... or any stuffs like that. Not auto-biographies, some technical or travel books. Not a "subject" book that you have to study in school.
I'm talking about a "Storybook" here. You know, things like "Snow White & The Seven Cinderellas" or something.
I know I haven't did in years. The last storybook I read was probably back in Secondary school. I'm 90% sure.
Well anyway, I just dropped by the Library to borrow a "storybook" last week - to make the passing of time in OD easier... I don't think I can't stand romance stories that spend about 500 pages on how a girl and a guy spend their time together. I thought a thriller would be best for my "First Storybook" in such a long time.
Eventually picked up one by Lynn Abercrombie called "Blind Fear". Awesome choice.
The story is enticing and intriguing. In fact, I originally plan to read it only at OD, but sometimes I couldn't resist continuing it at home. Haha. Here's a brief overview of the plot:
A detective was blinded and placed in a room. At first, it seems that she's alone in the room. But somehow she has an unmistakable feeling that someone else is in the room with her. Someone breathing and moving. The person won't speak a word with her though...
She eventually made connection with a friend on the "outside world". But time is running out. She have to solve a murder case from nearly 2 decades ago by working with the detective outside. If they find out who the killer is, gather compelling and unambiguous evidence for an arrest, and then make the actual arrest within the alloted time, she'll survive. Else, she will die inside the room. She can only receive 3 calls every hour, each lasting 1 minute. There are clues inside the room, and the killer is outside. But what can she do when she's blinded? O_O
That's the synopsis~ I love the way the plot was presented, by switching between the stories of the 2 characters back and forth each chapter. Chapter 1 talks about what's happening inside, Chapter 2 outside, etc... as they slowly match clues with each other and make progress towards the truth.
Some books required you to read about 100 chapters before you even get into the story. This one jumps you into it straight away. I was hooked from like chapter 2 onwards. (And each chapter only lasts 5 pages average, sweet) The writing is simple and easy to understand - perfect for people whose English is "1/2 bucket water" (like me).
I haven't completed it yet though. 3/4 there. Think I can finish it by this weekend~

The Hilarious, The Amazing & The Bizarre II
Top 5 Videos for this time...
Number 5 - The main hit from Ah Du new album, known as "Cha Yi Dian" (Miss by a little)... The song is really nice. But again, someone has to make a joke out of it... It's now known as "Cha Yi Dian Zhong Ma Piao".
Number 4 - A parody of what can be consider Rainie Yang's trademark song - Ideal Lover. You sort of have to see the original MV before you can comprehend how creepy this video is. It's not just "funny"... You can feel a chill when watching this... Imagine if Mike and Rainie really look like that...
Number 3 - Awesome Japanese Commercial... I shall not spoil it...but the build up is pretty intense.
Number 2 - An oldies song made into a "Sims 2 MV". Listen to the lyrics carefully... when you give up trying to figure out the relationships, click here for a thorough analysis.
Number 1 - By Buffalaxed, the "Subtitler". You don't even need to learn Tamil to understand what they're singing. Everything is "translated" for you... You won't get it if you know Tamil though, that's the awesome thing. Only people that don't know the language will get it...
"I Love To See You Pee On Us Tonight!"

Top of the pyramid...
Sometimes, it's sad how a single decision by ONE person can affect the lives of so many. Many as in hundreds, thousands and even millions.
But millions is a bit far-fetch here. You'll have to be talking about some great conquerors and kings of the past (Genghis Khan?) to have such a worldwide impact.
That's beside the point though. Notice I use "sad" to describe this effect. I don't use "amazing" or "awesome" or some positive adjective - cause for me, at least for now, I think it's not ideal for a single person to have such a huge influence.
But sadly, the world is build around this "system". People influence each other. And some people, particularly those with power or are incredibly famous, have a greater influence than others. When an influence grows so powerful, it's no longer just "influence". It's called "control". Control over other people.
This system is everywhere. In schools, in cooperates, in the house, in you know where. Parents control their kids, teachers control their students, bosses control their workers. The level is different of course. When you are at the "top of the pyramid", everyone has to obey your orders. You can mess up, you can come up with some incredible (actually ridiculous) plans, you can do all sort of f-shit you want...
Then the people below you will have to "just do". If they don't, they'll face the consequences. Sometimes very serious consequences.
Why are those are the top so nasty? So mean? So evil? Why can't they spare a thought for those at the bottom. You decided to do something just for the heck of it, something just for fun, something which serves no purpose. And those below would have to work like a dog to get it done.
I hope they get their retribution for doing this.
Next time, if you ever climb to a higher level on this pyramid, please spare a thought for those below you. A simple decision by you can have a long lasting and deep impact on their lives... Please don't give the "Anyway is not I do what. Might as well order them to work like ****".
If you think this way...well...
DAMN YOU TO HELL!

A Great Day!
Time passes so fast when you're enjoying yourself...
This was a day to alleviate stress, to relax and laze around~
Woke up... 11am + liao... quick lunch and it's past noon.
Seeing the ideal weather (Bright sunny day), I decided to head down to the Swimming Complex. Haven't take a dip in such a long time... since the closure for renovation almost a year ago.
Wanted to "jio" SK one... but that "pang seh kia" (fly aeroplane kid) say he going gym. This is the 3rd time I kanna fly kite by him...
But nevermind, I can still enjoy myself. Went for a haircut first before heading down. This was my first trip there since the renovation, and I think it only re-opened in mid October. In fact, some facilities like the cafeteria and jacuzzi pool isn't even completed yet. They added a new gym facility as well. Cool~
Went to the library after that. Been ages since I last visit that place. Spent like an hour plus lazing around there... borrowed a couple of book. Will bring them for OD next time so I won't be bored to death. One of the thriller story sounds really good.
Intended to head home after that, but... since I'm there, I thought I'll look around Causeway Point. Haven't visit here for some time as well. And thank god I did!
I found the sequel to one of my favourite chinese PC game - Martial Kingdoms II! I played the first one way back in my Secondary days and enjoyed it a lot. Even though it was plagued with technical bugs and imbalances, I still love it due to its innovative concept and addictive gameplay. There is no other game on the market I know of that is even remotely similar to this.
I didn't knew the developers were working on a sequel. Today I visited the store and it was just there on the shelves! I brought it almost without any hesitation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those interested, it's almost like a Tycoon game. I'm a great fan of chinese martial art novel/stories, and this game is a tycoon game resolving around that.
Basically, you start off as the leader of a Sect. You can use the pre-built and famous Shaolin, Wudang, Beggar Sect or Demon Cult, or create one from scratch. Of course the path to Wulin domination would be much easier if you pick a powerful Sect. From there, you will manage your resources (gold, wood, herbs, iron, etc), build facilities (training grounds, medical halls, cultivation chambers, etc), hone your skills (invent new 'wugong' and 'neigong') and impart them to your disciples.
You can participate in quests like eradicating local rogues to full scale attack on other sects. Ever want to see a huge Beggar Clan VS Wudang war? Or Shaolin Abbot 1v1 against the Demon King. You got it here. You'll cultivate your disciples and train them into 1st class pugilists (and killing machines) and transform your sect into a thriving hub of activity. The eventual goal is "Wulin domination"~ Wahahahaha... once I mastered LV10 of my "Xiang Long 18 Zhang" that is.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bleh I talked too much haha. I haven't really tried out "II" yet, but I hope it's a huge improvement over the first one. Was almost evening when I reached home~
I should clear some of the work first to get these off my back. (USMS) I don't want them coming back to haunt me when I dismount.
This is such a great day~
This was a day to alleviate stress, to relax and laze around~
Woke up... 11am + liao... quick lunch and it's past noon.
Seeing the ideal weather (Bright sunny day), I decided to head down to the Swimming Complex. Haven't take a dip in such a long time... since the closure for renovation almost a year ago.
Wanted to "jio" SK one... but that "pang seh kia" (fly aeroplane kid) say he going gym. This is the 3rd time I kanna fly kite by him...
But nevermind, I can still enjoy myself. Went for a haircut first before heading down. This was my first trip there since the renovation, and I think it only re-opened in mid October. In fact, some facilities like the cafeteria and jacuzzi pool isn't even completed yet. They added a new gym facility as well. Cool~
Went to the library after that. Been ages since I last visit that place. Spent like an hour plus lazing around there... borrowed a couple of book. Will bring them for OD next time so I won't be bored to death. One of the thriller story sounds really good.
Intended to head home after that, but... since I'm there, I thought I'll look around Causeway Point. Haven't visit here for some time as well. And thank god I did!
I found the sequel to one of my favourite chinese PC game - Martial Kingdoms II! I played the first one way back in my Secondary days and enjoyed it a lot. Even though it was plagued with technical bugs and imbalances, I still love it due to its innovative concept and addictive gameplay. There is no other game on the market I know of that is even remotely similar to this.
I didn't knew the developers were working on a sequel. Today I visited the store and it was just there on the shelves! I brought it almost without any hesitation.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those interested, it's almost like a Tycoon game. I'm a great fan of chinese martial art novel/stories, and this game is a tycoon game resolving around that.
Basically, you start off as the leader of a Sect. You can use the pre-built and famous Shaolin, Wudang, Beggar Sect or Demon Cult, or create one from scratch. Of course the path to Wulin domination would be much easier if you pick a powerful Sect. From there, you will manage your resources (gold, wood, herbs, iron, etc), build facilities (training grounds, medical halls, cultivation chambers, etc), hone your skills (invent new 'wugong' and 'neigong') and impart them to your disciples.

Final Fantasy XII
Finally... I started this game nearly 1 year ago, back when I was still on the Island. That time when I was still with Jason and Zhi Yang and company...
There are many factors why I took so long to complete it, but mainly because the story sucks. It is not compelling enough for me to carry on. So basically I took a lot of breaks in between (especially when the torturous schedule kicks in in around June)
Finally completed it on 29th October, Monday! Here are my thoughts...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, I'm very weary when I'm giving a negative review to a high profile game, especially one of the Final Fantasy caliber.
For games genre that I don't like, I usually won't conclude that "this game sucks" but would go with something like "it's not for everyone". That's the FPS genre I'm talking about.
But RPGs are like my territory. I grew up playing RPGs and I've played more than enough to see say that I've seen them all - from the good to the bad to the ugly.
And for a reputable game like Final Fantasy XII... this is one of the worst RPG I've ever played. And definitely the worst Final Fantasy. And this is coming from a fan who has played every Final Fantasy.
The good things: Awesome, beautiful graphics.
The bad things: Too many to list. Here, I'll extract quotes from various reviews on Gamefaqs which I agree with 100%. Most of it come from this guy.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. "the sidequests in this game is immense, but awful. Most sidequest really does not make any sense. It feels like the developers just think of a random reason to put them in there. For example, there is this guy proposing marriage to this air stewardess. She wants to refuse him but doesn't know how. So they made a bet. If you, a total stranger, who just met them about 30 seconds ago, can deliver a letter to her six other sisters, then she'll refuse his proposal. WHAT THE HELL? Does any of that make any sense to you?" (Awful Sidequests)
4. "some characters' backstories are ridiculous; and their main reason for joining the party slowly decays. After the first hour, they're radiating with their persona, expressing whatever made them join you in your quest with every chance they get. Then.....they forget what they're fighting for. It goes from a cliche revenge story to a bizzare family fun adventure." (Story with no depth and development)
5. " I think Square-Enix has this idea that it doesn't matter what the gameplay is like, just as long as the gamer gets a lot of playing time, then he/she will enjoy it. This would explain why some games have pointless boring times where you run around doing the exact same thing over and over. Now, some games get away with this because they do it sparingly…the problem with FFXII is that THAT IS THE GAME." (Extremely repetitive gameplay)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For myself, the game starts with a decent story and awesome opening. It illustrates the political struggles between countries. The premise sounds great, but the actual plot is terrible. However, hours into the games, the story weighs less and less. In the end, we don't really care what is going on with the story anymore, we just keep pressing the X button to skip the dialogues. The plot is so terrible as it goes absolutely nowhere, and there are no depth nor development to speak of.
Even the main protagonist has no motivation on the quest. He's just like "Yeah, sure let's go" towards the end. And another character, Penelo, is there because she "wants to follow him". It makes no sense whatsoever.
I've spent 90 gameplay hours on this game, one of the longest RPG I've ever played. But it really sucks to the core. You do the same thing over and over again...
And the ultimate concluding statement I wholeheartedly agree with...
"RPG is like a movie, things have to make sense in order for us to enjoy it. We assume the role of the characters, we have to care for them. When we lose our motivation to further advance, it is the moment that the game failed. FFXII has failed in almost every aspect except for graphics. It is shallow, boring, and pretensive. It is evident that those game developers got lazy halfway and just start putting random stuffs together."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Spoilers) FF XII Story:
Vann brother is killed and he wants to avenge him. During a quest, he met the Sky Pirate Balthier and Fran. His ambition is to be a Sky Pirate, so he joins him on his quest, and his childhood friend "Penelo" wants to follow him along. After a while, they met Princess Ashe and the war traitor Basch who are on the escape from the empire. Baltheir decides to help them in return for fortune, so everyone joins the Princess. Together, they start on a quest against the empire.
After that, it's 70 hours of travelling the world, escaping from the empire and chasing after some stones with godly powers instilled inside. The stones must not fall into the hands of the empire
Final part, they still failed. Venat, the emperor of the empire got the stone and became a godly monster. The empire waged war. The only way is to kill Venat. During the first empire battle, the party sneaks into Venat "flying fortress" and slay him. Peace is returned after the emperor falls and everyone lives happily ever after.
- The End -
I wasn't kidding. The gist of the story is like that.

And that's it~ Basically I think I got about 70% correct? Haha... only thing I screw up are the entire popularity awards... didn't expected S.H.E to win that one in Taiwan with Farenheit. And I definitely didn't expect Eason to win best performing Male...
And one more thing... Sun Yan Zi definitely shouldn't have won the Best Album of the Year award... I mean, 逆光 to me is like one of her "suckiest" album ever. Almost all the songs sucks except a few. And it's not just me, most people I know tell me that. I think she volunteered to drop out of the Best Local Artiste competition to get this award.
About the awards overall, I don't like how they give out a dozens of the same awards and give that "ranking order doesn't count" crap. It totally lowers the prestige of the award. And it is very "throw face"... 4 winners out of 7 nominated in the Best Newcomer. And they had to give out 2 awards for the Best Band.

Sleep Deprivation III
Haiz... originally thought Wednesday last OD liao... then friday can take off and go on leave...
没想到人算不如天算
In the end had to do one more on Friday and of course it eats into my weekend leave... what to do. Suck thumb...
Anyway, the friday OD is really a killer. I don't know why for some reason I was extremely lethargic and exhausted throughout. I think it's partly of the mouth ulcers which are killing me and the extreme "sian-ness"... Then in a very bad mood...like a walking zombie throughout... don't know how I manage to last until morning.
Morning... something bad happens. Let's just say...
"Choo got burnt by the CD Burner."
This is the 2nd accident I've witness in my "career" liao... very scary. I was on the other side washing until I heard a loud scream. Then I ran over and everything is so chaotic. Luckily Jansen was there to pin down the CD Burner...
Hope he's fine. I'm really tired... till the point that I'm actually experiencing headaches. My mother keeps telling me to stop having late nights, but I don't know how I can explain to her that's impossible for me to do so.
I need a good rest~
This is one of the break I've been looking forward to in the longest time.

The ship is sinking...
We used to be aboard the grandest and most luxurious ship of our time. Let's call it the Kikanic.
Life aboard was heavenly. Everyday was filled with joy and happiness... we never expected it to come to an end.
March 207, the Kikanic crashed into the Iceburg. The future looks glum for everyone, but we believed deep in our hearts that if we worked together, we would be able to repair the damages done, to savage the situation and restore it to its former glory...
However...
June 207... Davy Jones III, the most diabolical and nefarious monster in the ocean, summoned the Kraken upon the Kikanic. Again and again, for the months to come, it would wreck havoc on the liner. The bow is crushed, the stern are rip into shreds, the starboard is reduce to debris...
The future is looking glum...and It was at that time that the fate of ship would be decided...
Everything went into a downward spiral after that. The captain, whom all the passengers had pin their hope on, abandoned the wrecked vessel and fled. In he middle of the night, he hopped on to his speedy craft to the faraway lands in search of greater fortunes.
All left are the poor passengers to fend for themselves. We have injuries everywhere. Available treatment are scarce, food is low and everyone is dying. We have tried to take up shields and defend ourselves - But against the supreme power of the Satan, all resistance and will be futile.
Weeks passed, but we never recovered. The ship fate is inevitable - the bottom of the ocean. The ship is still moving forward, but it is also moving downward...
And now, Davy Jones is returning on his Black Pearl, hailing legions of undead zombies to send us to the depths of the sea...
There are 2 choices now for the passengers to make...
1. Abandon the Ship
This is easier to say then it is to do, although a handful has manage to accomplish this great feat. You need to be either very rich to be able to afford a speedboat, or you got a float to keep you from drowning once you jump off.
2. Hang On...
As mentioned, the ship is still moving forward. But it would be months, like 10 more months, before the ship reaches the land. Will we still be alive when the ship finally dock? Or will Kikanic be in the abyss of the ocean?

Same Old Life...
Free time, I'm still doing what I've always been doing. Still the same old games, still the same old hobbies and still the same things that I've been following.
DOTA: After nearly 5 years I'm still playing this on a regular basis. Been a member for 2 years liao, and the "OYA" clan now is but a shadow of its past. Last time we would have in-house almost every night and it would be a huge blast~
Later on, Bear (Chief) and Punny went overseas to Thailand and everything went downhill. The Jiangs family kicked out a lot of people (like silver and jordan, accusing them of maphack) after they took over, although they eventually lost trace as well. The throne was passed down to Neko later on who barely logged on. The members, army one go army, school one go school and the number of gatherings dropped drastically.
Nevertheles, I'm still a proud loyal member of the clan with people like Senbo, Shota, Keonky, Halo. Still keeping in touch with Silvercrest and Jordan. I've also met some great clans like "nlgz", "1dos", "dev" and playing games with them whenever I got the chance. And of course I've got people like Charleston, Rex, Wei Hao and Jia Yun playing...
Other Games: Still playing Civilization 4 BTS occasionally, especially with the recent release of 3.13 patch. Still on the impossible quest to complete FF12 after nearly 1 year of playing. I'm almost there but not quite... I want to get into more games but I'm reluctant at the same time. Looking into COH Opposing Fronts and the World Of Conflict recommended by Glenn san...
WWE: Haha... this is my all time hobby I guess, been watching it since I was a kid. Even though the storylines get lamer and lamer... (Hornswoggle being Vince's son) This is still a great way to pass time.
Comics: I've less into this nowadays... probably cause a lot of my favourite series has ended. At my best time (Secondary days) I can spend up about $40 - $50 per month on these, but now I'm only collecting TCZ21.
Frankly speaking, it is not that fantastic. The pace is way too slow. We're into the 18 volume already and there isn't even one "true, great, complete match". Every battle ends abruptly with people running away halfway or faking death... It gets tiring. I guess the only reason I'm still collecting it is a bit of nostalgia from the 2 prequels...
That's about it. At home I'm either glued to my computer or glued to my bed. On the net I'll dig up previous episodes of Jacky Wu's variety and have a good laugh for 2 hours. Or I'll visit the usual Gamespy, Gamefaqs, Hardware-zone, SHEA sites. Or I'll pop up mo-fun zone and play a random game for 1/2 hour... maybe visit Kennysia or Mr Brown blog sites to see if they've got any comedic entries. And of course check out the music forum for any hot stuffs~
It's quite a 'routine', but it's a good way to pass time.
Well...
Nothing much le...
I guess typing all these is also a good way to pass time.
Check out this lame video... I like the tamil guy twist portion...
DOTA: After nearly 5 years I'm still playing this on a regular basis. Been a member for 2 years liao, and the "OYA" clan now is but a shadow of its past. Last time we would have in-house almost every night and it would be a huge blast~
Later on, Bear (Chief) and Punny went overseas to Thailand and everything went downhill. The Jiangs family kicked out a lot of people (like silver and jordan, accusing them of maphack) after they took over, although they eventually lost trace as well. The throne was passed down to Neko later on who barely logged on. The members, army one go army, school one go school and the number of gatherings dropped drastically.
Nevertheles, I'm still a proud loyal member of the clan with people like Senbo, Shota, Keonky, Halo. Still keeping in touch with Silvercrest and Jordan. I've also met some great clans like "nlgz", "1dos", "dev" and playing games with them whenever I got the chance. And of course I've got people like Charleston, Rex, Wei Hao and Jia Yun playing...
Other Games: Still playing Civilization 4 BTS occasionally, especially with the recent release of 3.13 patch. Still on the impossible quest to complete FF12 after nearly 1 year of playing. I'm almost there but not quite... I want to get into more games but I'm reluctant at the same time. Looking into COH Opposing Fronts and the World Of Conflict recommended by Glenn san...
WWE: Haha... this is my all time hobby I guess, been watching it since I was a kid. Even though the storylines get lamer and lamer... (Hornswoggle being Vince's son) This is still a great way to pass time.
Comics: I've less into this nowadays... probably cause a lot of my favourite series has ended. At my best time (Secondary days) I can spend up about $40 - $50 per month on these, but now I'm only collecting TCZ21.
Frankly speaking, it is not that fantastic. The pace is way too slow. We're into the 18 volume already and there isn't even one "true, great, complete match". Every battle ends abruptly with people running away halfway or faking death... It gets tiring. I guess the only reason I'm still collecting it is a bit of nostalgia from the 2 prequels...
That's about it. At home I'm either glued to my computer or glued to my bed. On the net I'll dig up previous episodes of Jacky Wu's variety and have a good laugh for 2 hours. Or I'll visit the usual Gamespy, Gamefaqs, Hardware-zone, SHEA sites. Or I'll pop up mo-fun zone and play a random game for 1/2 hour... maybe visit Kennysia or Mr Brown blog sites to see if they've got any comedic entries. And of course check out the music forum for any hot stuffs~

Promotion to LCP...
It's not that I care that much... but there are indeed some pros and cons that come with it.
The pros is of course you stand a better chance of getting favorable conditions when doing OD... wahahaha...
The con is when thing screws up, the highest ranking will get most of the blame...
Anyway, promotion to LCP is a generally good thing. At least I didn't get promoted to a LCB - like many others do (hopefully). Heh... More LCBs = More Troubles.
Well... life is really unpredictable. Today was one of the most ironic of them all. All this originated from Yun Zhen. Quite some time ago, he called me telling me to share his burden of one 'processing' since he kanna 2 this month.
Out of kindness, I agreed. One for each of us. Later, I found out that in the end he didn't kanna any! It was taken away from him! What the hell... cheated my feelings.
So I want to ask him take back the one he gave me, but he refused... that LC... nevermind...
I was negotiating with him whole morning, until the "WG" thing came. He told me that if I kanna the "WG", he will help me do the 'processing'. LOL... then I really strike lottery... -_- (which resulted in me having to reach camp by 7am on Monday...)
Later that day... 4.40pm liao... Was watching videos with Benjamin... then suddenly realized it was time to go home. Just as we were stepping out of the mass... Paran blocked the doorway... and let out the bad news -_-
Long story short, Yun Zhen was darn lucky that he helped me do my 'processing', else I think he'll be standing under the starry skies at this time. LOL... my condelenses to Benjamin...
天有不测风云, 人有旦夕祸福...
Don't take it too hard...

Sleep Deprivation II
Haiz... finally... completed my 11 OD In A Row. Gosh... nearly breakdown -_- ...
4 at the end of September. 7 in the beginning of Oct. Total: 11.
So basically it's 22 days of "OD , Rest, OD , Rest, OD, Rest"...
OD means spending about 30 hours working, without sleep. So, what you expect? On the rest day = sleep whole day. It's hell man...
Just imagine: One day you totally can't sleep. The other day you sleep for 14 hours. Often I wake up aching all over and feeling giddy. Sometimes really feel like killing someone...
(Just Kidding...)
Anyway, at least the main bulk of OD are over by now. Oh by the way, the last one should be inducted into the Hall of Fame... Up lah... 强中自有强中手
These few weeks really in depression mode. So stressed up both physically and mentally. Sometimes I think I'm having emotion un-stability. The mood can go from peak to rock bottom in an instant... I need a break lah...
Note: Sorry for some of the events which I'm unable to attend. Most of them probably falls on my OD day... Even if it falls on my rest day I'm really too tired to make it.

Women's Language
Extracted from "Net Buzz" on 12 Oct 2007 Newpaper:
1) That's Okay - This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's Okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
2) Thanks - A woman is thanking you. Do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome.
3) Whatever - Is a women's way of saying "I hate you".
4) Don't worry about it. I got it. - Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself.
This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" The woman will then say, "Nothing."
5) Nothing - This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes.

A Bad Person
"You are a sick, vile, twisted, corrupt, depraved, immoral, decrepit, senile, nasty son of a *****."
Don't understand WTF he is thinking. He thinks he is right in whatever he do. Whenever possible, avoid talking or even coming into contact with him.
He is so fake it makes people feel sick. He acts like he's buddy buddy with everyone but contineously and repeatedly stabs people. Everything he only know how to talk only, and deprive the people of joy they deserved. The people are the one doing the work and you just talk like everything is so perfect, so easy. **** off lah.
It's easy to sense that everyone just acts friendly with him, but in fact dislikes him. They have no choice but to do so.
This is so disappointing. When you are in power, people have to suck up to you. How can we be so pretentious to someone we hate so much? Everyone talks bad about him behind his back. Don't feel sad for him.

Hunting For A Memory Device...
It dawn on me when I was randomly browsing IT gadgets...Then saw those digital cameras and camcorders for sale...
Thinking about it, I've never owned (To be more accurate, my family never did) a camera in my life. All the photos I've taken so far are by others, be it relatives or friends or random photographers.
Gatherings, graduation ceremonies, parties, outings, visit to shows and events, get-together, the list goes on and on. I don't even have a record of them.
Aside from a couple of childhood 'pics', I almost didn't have any photos of myself from like 8 years old onwards... to about 16 years old. It's like totally blank. It's a white piece of paper. OK, I did have those yearly class photos where they got some random guy to take... and you had to pay $8 for it. But that's about it.
Go on to Poly also the same: had one class photo... and one graduation photo. Full stop.
LOL... so pathetic leh... say out also throw face. Recently want to find some old photos also like digging grave...
The only "device" I have to find back the past are the memories buried deep in my head. Bits and pieces, very vague and jumbled up. I can't even remember clearly the faces or places that I've spent years with and in.
So that brings me to my point (To tell the truth, it's just justification for me to spend) - I want to buy a digital camera!
I think it's perhaps one of the biggest regret in my life. Didn't get a camera earlier... and didn't start writing a diary sooner - else I would have like 10 years of photos and stories to read through by now... Haha... the feeling would be song I think. If only I could turn back the clock...
Hey wait. Thinking about it, I wouldn't ever want to turn back the clock. Cause that means I have to undergo another 1 year of shit which I just went through... Not worth it lah...
Humph Humph... anyway~
It's NEVER TOO LATE TO START!
I've sort of begin doing a little bit of 'research' into this. Picked out a few viable choices that are within my budget.
Basically, I want one that's portable and compact and easy to use. Don't need to be too 'chim' cause I'm not some professional photographer anyway. I don't need some horrifically advanced features. Best is if it has exceptional zoom... so can take pictures of my princesses even when they're far away~
Now just look look only... most probably will 'hoot' one at Sitex 2007~

The Bunk Move...
Finally shifting our bunks, leaving the original beds we've been sleeping for more than half a year...
When we were doing area- cleaning, an idea suddenly struck me... We were kind of running low on rags (布 'Bu'), so I asked if anyone wants. They said "yes!".
I say if you want cloth, you can get it from "布拉格广场"...
我就站在布拉格黄昏的广场~
LOL! Damn funny this joke I think... my platoon mates want to whack me liao. Haha...
And one more - why is it you don't have with be scared when you're with Wei Qi and Wei Hao...?
Because... " Wei~ Wei~ 不要怕~~~你是好娃娃。。。"
Liew... super lame.

2 Opposing Worlds...
Do you believe that sometimes, 2 persons can never become true friends? What I am trying to say here is 2 persons from 2 conflicting backgrounds, or their stance/position is just directly against each other. (Either single or both sided)
One more thing which makes a big difference is the order of whether they know each other before they are separated into this "conflicting factions" thing.
Sounds complicated, I know... so let me state an example. One that is more obvious - the classic Police and Thief.
Obviously, they can never truly become friends. A police will definitely not befriend a thief. But, if let's say the 2 persons know each other and are good buddy buddy for very long already, until one turn into a thief and the other into a police. It'll be an entirely different situation...
Anyway, the above example is too extreme. A more possible case would be like a employer and his workers, a superior and his subordinates...
No matter how "friend friend" they become, they will never become true friends. That means they'll hide some matters from each other, or they'll only put in effort if it doesn't threaten their own interests. It is sort of a bit unavoidable, because they are in conflicting positions. A benefit to one side would be a hindrance to the other side. (E.G: Increase pay for workers -> loss for the employer)
That is my opinion for certain cases (not the above one actually, but it's one example I can think of). And that's my opinion for now at least.
I really don't like to think it this way but so far, this is what I have experience so far. It is unavoidable... I call this kind of a friend, a "Conflicting Friend". Be careful of what secrets you share with him... It might come back to haunt you one day.
The only time you should share them, is when you 2 are no longer in conflicting positions. (You or him quit the company or something)
But there's one twist to this: If you 2 are already friends before you become get into conflicting positions, then the end results will be very different from this.
