Severely, I guess I loved you too severely.
I don't even breath and I look around for you.
I don't know when I'll be able to stop.
Severely, I guess I loved you too severely.
I think letting you go is more severe than dying.

FT Island's newest song. Severely.

IS JUST SO BLOODY AWESOME!!! XDXDXD

~ Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) ~

2012-02-10T01:42:00.001+08:00

Today has been a pretty trying day. It started off good, then descended into utter madness bringing me down with it.

But as Kelly Clarkson is blaring into my ears right now.

"
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
Stand a little taller;
Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
What doesn't kill you makes a fighter!
Footsteps even lighter;
Doesn't mean I'm over cause you're gone.
"

Not really super relevant. But at times like these, I take any inspirational song I can muster as something to pull me back from the slump.

I can tell you with almost 90% certainty that I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time.

I wish I could put it into words and pour it out to a good friend of mine for advice. Then I realize that for one, I do not know what my problem is. And two, I have no friends that I want to talk to this about.

What is the problem? I seriously don't know. It's like there's something missing that I can't put into words. I used to think that it was something like I was lonely and a girlfriend or something would solve that. But now I'm pretty sure it's not. The fundamental fault lies within me. And having someone else involved just creates more messes than it will fix.

It's been a while since I blogged, and I have been trying to stay away from emo-ish posts like these. But it is when I am in this state that I have to resort to putting into words when my mind can't handle the jumble anymore.

~ Idols you can meet ~

2012-01-12T01:21:00.001+08:00

So if you didn't already know, I started following this group called AKB48.

Fun fact: I can actually name quite a few of the girls... actually, not a fun a fact as I thought. I mean I'm pretty sure there are fans out there that can name them all... but anyway...

So yeah. I started following them, firstly out of curiosity, then later because it was pretty fun and they made me feel happy.

Which, when it comes down to it, isn't that all that matters? :)

So it's been about half a year since I started following them, I have since learnt quite a lot about them. About how their system works, how the performances work and most importantly how hard they worked to get to where they are today. A great article to read about was written a few days ago based on this TV program. Click HERE to read.

Which, makes me respect them all that much more and want to support them even more, to be honest.

But frankly this post is more of a my observations about the article there than anything else, so here they are, in point form, of which I work best at. :)

1. Only 7 people at the very first performance.
I think I had more people in attendance when I first learnt how to walk! This was shocking to me. Mainly because they're now loved by millions (No real data available). And that they started off with only SEVEN people in their theater, that's really something. But Aki-P's (The crazy guy behind all of this btw) words really did mean a lot then.

"Why are you girls crying? You guys still have an audience. How can you expect to perform in front of hundreds and thousands if you can’t perform in front of one? Focus on changing the people in front of you first!"

Valuable advice indeed. Who knew those words would spur them on to become the great stars they are today.

2. Listening to the fans.
This is one main reason why I kinda love the concept. The fact is they do listen to the fans. Fans come first in their concept. When you follow a Kpop act, you don't get to shake their hands the first time you meet them. This happened to me. I got to shake their hands the first time I saw them in action. That was the main point where my initial disregard changed to "Hey, this is pretty cool."

While I admit, making money is still a very big part of the entire thing. I mean, no money, no talk. That's true everywhere, just a fact of how life works today.

Maybe it's because at the time they had no fans, so they could listen to each and every one of them. Or that they were desperate to build a fanbase, which is why they reached out to those that came, who knew. But the fact is that they are sooooo much more accessible than many other artists out there that I idolized and chased after but regretfully never really met.

And I realize that it is different in Japan than it is here on this tiny island. But then it's not like I'll be going over there anytime soon (Especially now, considering). And I'm happy to be able to meet them on a regular basis that it doesn't really matter to me at this point. :)

3. First fan letter.
I like this point because it was also the one thing good that they had to hold on to. Hope & knowing someone is there for you, in any shape and form during the difficult times is never a bad thing. How I wish I was that person giving them that hope & support then. :)

4. Shinoda Mariko's inception into the group.
To be so near, and yet so far. This girl's story in itself is worthy of a mention. I'm super glad for her that she managed to get in because of two points, one: that any girl, with a little luck and a never-say-die attitude can achieve their dreams. And two: (Back to point 2) they listened to their fans.

5. Itano breaking down.
This kinda shocked me. But I have seen a few of Itano's BTS stories so far, and I get that her character is a bit happy-go-lucky and the sort that is a bit 'lazy' so to say. I want to say that's a bit like me, hence why she's my oshi (Oshi = Favorite member). But I didn't expect her to break like that. It truly did shock me that she was the one that yelled out that she wanted to quit. I am forever thankful to Aki-P for not giving up on her though. And AM also SUPER glad that she's now where she is, a perfectly super solo singer in her own right. (Oshi mah, I have to say this. =))

6. RIVER
Honestly, RIVER was never one of my favorite songs. But after this, I am looking at it differently. It does have a much deeper meaning behind it than I originally thought. And that it managed to energize the girls and spur them on just makes it all the more special. :)

7. Akimoto Yasushi
He gets his own paragraph because he is one crazy dude. But then a pretty crazy genius of a dude. Look at what he's managed to do. To make idol groups that are hundreds of girls in number into something... well... BIG. And now he's got groups all over in Japan and overseas like in Taiwan, Indonesia and potentially in a few hundred other places. He, will probably be one of the reasons why I have to declare bankruptcy one day. =.=

8. AKB48
I will admit that I only jumped on the bandwagon because I was intrigued by "someone" bringing AKB48 to me here in this country. That I think was the only reason I started following them. But with a history that strong in hardships and tears, how can you not throw in your support behind them? And you know that they won't think of you any less as a 'new fan' because you know that to them, every single fan in precious (Refer point 1).

Is this part of my crazy addiction for everything eccentric from Japan or Korea? Maybe. But for now, this very moment, I'm happy to call myself an AKB48 fan.

And for the love of god I hope Tomochin doesn't graduate anytime soon. I MEAN SERIOUSLY... XD

~ The quick post ~

2012-01-09T01:23:00.000+08:00

Just a quick post. Some random thoughts running around in my head...

1. I wanted to make some New Year resolutions... didn't make them. Does making resolutions after the year have started still count?
2. I really wish I can take a few days off to just do nothing. Really.
3. My Japan trip for 2012 seems very unlikely to become true. But then I was thinking maybe I don't really want to go for it now in any case. Am still in two minds over this.

Another, not as pressing, but not really random thought: Not sure if I wanna go for the Sistar show if there's no autograph session. =/

Random photo:

Got these "free". Which is nice. But I don't really know where they're from. HAHA.

Oh, last thought. Watched War Horse today. It was nice. Not super awesome, but nice. Haha. May go into it in more detail later on... but we'll see. =)

All the crazy things I ran around doing in 2011 =) 8) X)

2012-01-01T14:17:00.001+08:00

Was typing this was trying to watch the Kouhaku Utagassen 2011, but in the end I spent more time watching than typing... haha. Anyway, might as well put it up since I put so much effort into it. =3

And might as well start off the year by recapping what has been an awesome 2011.

2010 was the year I started attending events, concerts and such. 2011 was when I went mad and attended every single thing that I could manage to attend.

But 2011 was a good year. While I did spend an exorbitant amount of money on 'idols' & 'stars'. It was also a year where I got my first actual job and subsequently my first actual full time job. Started paying bills for real (Bloody study loan). And also realized that life, is pretty fun if you don't let it get you down. Also if you're chasing 'idols' and 'stars' all over this small island here. ;)

[2011-01-16] To Hebe's Autograph Session
This one was impulsive. Didn't really plan on going, but in the end went and spent like an hour or so in line to get her autograph. =3

[2011-04-10] Twin Towers Alive 2011 (Day 1)
Went mostly with the intention to see Wonder Girls.

I think this is the 3rd time I saw them. Although, I think the Azenders were amazing that night. (If I spelled that right...) Also got to see Yuna & Hoobastank, which, was kinda awesome although those crazy people held off "The Reason" for soooooo damn long...

[2011-06-05] Kpop Heal the World Concert
Main target was to see After School...

And T-ara...

Was cool to get to see After School and Orange Caramel performing. Wasn't that big a fan of T-ara, but seeing their performances was cool as well... =)

[2011-08-20+2011-08-21] Singapore Toy, Games, Comics Convention
This was also impulsive. Frankly, I didn't have any good reasons to go, I was just bored and decided, hey... why not?

ZANEEDS performed. ... I have no idea who they are. And this was the first and only concert this year where I thought: "WOW, the crowd sure is boring..." =)

And got to see some pretty cool Cosplay. Soooo... all's fun in the end.

Special mention for September. For some reason or other, I got it into my head that I was 'organizing' a Birthday Bash month for myself. Honestly, that was just words. Fact is it just happened that a lot of my favourite events happened in September. Of note is the SCANDAL fansign and the SCANDAL concert. =)

[2011-09-15] SCANDAL Fansigning @HMV 313 Somerset
Yeaaahhhh... this was superrr... XD

And I super love this picture~

[2011-09-16+2011-09-17] SCANDAL Baby Action Tour in Singapore
BEST CONCERT EVARRRR!!! I have no pictures or anything to show for it since they were soooo strict with it (Which I do still applaud)... but hey... you just gotta take my word for it. I was jumping, screaming, flailing my hands about knocking into the people on my right and left, etc. etc. This was on the second day though. First day I was more reserved, not sure why.

Also it was at this concert that I realized how awesome the song BURN is. I'll say it again, watching Rina bathed in the spotlight playing the drums... it was heavenly. She looked like an angel sent down from heaven. (Corny cliche no?)

Keep in mind my favourite member in SCANDAL is actually Tomomi though... so having me say that Rina looked absolutely like an Angel is really... something... XD

[2011-09-18] Rania First Asian Tour @Club Butterfly
Weirdest place to ever hold a fansigning EVERRRR!!! But Rania is truly and undisputably hot. Not sure what's going on with Joy, which, is unfortunate because I think she's probably one of the best known in the group.

[2011-09-29] Miss A Fansign @City Square Mall
By far the second best autographed item I got this year. Just slightly behind SCANDAL's (Because I just love SCANDAL more... XD). The point I love about this fansign was that they actually wrote my name there... which is SUPER cool from a fanboy's point of view.

[2011-09-30] Miss A Showcase
I wouldn't say this was a bad showcase, but I just wasn't that invested into it. =3Still nice to see them all perform "Breathe" (Which I originally thought was a bad song, but when you listen to it more, you realize it's a pretty ingenious song...) and Bad Girl Good Girl, which is always good...

[2011-11-11 - 2011-11-13] AFA11
What I would consider my second best event of the year! (Behind SCANDAL) And where my money goes to die. Also where my money goes, looks around and decides which artist's pockets it wants to jump into.
Got to meet Sea*A, a Malaysian/Singaporean Anisong group I would say. They were nice... got their autographs. And Wynnie, the klutz that she is smudged the autograph. =/ Which, I can now say, I got Wynnie's fingerprints. WAHAHAHAHAHA! =.=

Tanamin and Nakayan from AKB48 were there also~

And while I have no pictures of the concert (Of which, I approve their hard line stance on it), here's a picture of LiSA, the artist my money has decided to grow fond with.

[2011-11-29] MAMA 2011 @Singapore Indoor Stadium
First time I've attended an Awards Show.
Although frankly, I'm not 100% sure why I went. One of those impulsive things I told you about earlier.

But I got to see SNSD! ... a week before they came again...

... I wonder why I do this sometimes... haha... but still MAMA was fun. Not least since there were a lot of artists. I ever got to see International 'Stars" like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Will.i.am and Apl.de.ap. Jpop star Koda Kumi and a whole lotta other Kpop artists...

And finally~

[2011-12-09+2011-12-10] SNSD Girls' Generation 2011 Tour
Had this happened like one or two years prior, I would've made this my event of the year, the one to beat, the concert that after years of waiting and waiting, fulfilled all my wildest dreams.

While it wasn't all that for me personally, it was a DAMN good show. I mean seriously. SM doesn't stinge when it comes to SNSD. The production value was literally sky high and it showed. It was by far the best produced show I've ever seen.

And yeah, it does make the 3rd spot in my listing of best shows of the year. Mainly because it was really really fun, I got to see Sunny and all the other girls and not least because it was a really really really well done show that could potentially sway any non-SNSD fan.

IF you noticed. I didn't include a group (Except a small mention in the AFA11 section) that really did take up a lot of my time.

Yes, I got into AKB48. Don't judge me. It's been a longggg year... there are pros and cons to following an idol group like AKB48. There are also liberties to forgo when you follow such a group, like, oh... I don't know... food?

There were a lot of things I learnt from AKB48, so to say. You learn for example, that it's literally impossible to support such a group. Literally. It can't be done. Unless you're a mad Japanese fan (Yes. FAN. Singular. I did not miss out an "s" there) and buy 5500 copies of their singles (True story). You have to prioritize and choose ONE member to support. Which, if you put it that way, does make it cheaper to support than Kpop. (Hey, look what I did there!)

So, in total I attended 14 of their concerts and 13 cafe events, not counting the one at AFA. In any case, some, small highlights, so to say. (Oshimen = #1 favourite member)

Shiorin!!! My oshimen in SKE48, their sister group... which I didn't mention earlier. Yeah, if you choose to, you can follow their sister groups... I would advise against it... but then I'm stuck in it... sooooo...

Rino Sasshihara. One of the media senbatsu of AKB48. I would explain, but I'm tired. Let's just leave it at she's one of the more popular ones. =)

Takahashi Minami, the leader of the entire crazy thing. It was pretty spectacular to have her in Singapore I would say. =3

Sayaka Kondo. I would say she's my oshimen in SDN48... but hard to say if she really is... haha. SDN48 was my gateway into this whole AKB mess though. I was thinking, I go see-see, see how it goes. Turns out it went... here. Sadly though, SDN48 is disbanding. Which sucks because they introduced me to this whole thing, and I may not get to see them anymore. TT.TT

Lastly the three pretty girls of NMB48. Rina Kondo, Nana Yamada and... I hope I got this right... Ayame Hikawa? I don't really have a NMB48 oshimen yet... but I'm thinking about it... =/

So... in essence I have met at least... 60 and probably more (That's a safe estimate) Japanese idols this past year. ALL from AKB/SKE/SDN/NMB. Fun right? Also another thing that is fun about this whole thing is that you do get the payoff much earlier and easier than ANY Kpop group I followed previously. The first time I went, I got to shake hands with them on the day itself... I mean... how can you get better than that? That bloody producer of this entire thing is a bloody genius. The jackass.

So, that's my 2011, if you think of it in terms of 'which concert/event did I go to?'

No real regrets in 2011. Sure, if I get out of this bubble of pretty idols and sexy chicks, my life ain't super awesome. But life only allows you so much leeway to follow something you like and something everyone else thinks should be the norm. I have gotten used to it you could say. But people still judge, and I can't really do much about that. I sometimes think it's because life hammered me down so badly that I went down this road. But on the other hand, it could be because I followed these things that led me down this path. Can't really say unless you find a multiverse and see what the me who didn't go this path is like.

But life is good nontheless. I do wanna try and fix some aspects of it, but we'll see how it goes. ;)
Some pointless awards~ =)

Best event of the year: SCANDAL's Fansigning
Best concert of the year: SCANDAL's Asia Tour 2011 "Baby Action"
Best movie of the year: Real Steel
Best song of the year: ... huh... hmm... ... AKB48's Flying Get? Haha.
Best moment of the year: Toss up between the "Shiorin waved at me" incident and all the moments at SCANDAL's fansigning. =P

Here's to a great 2012 ahead! (Already bought tickets for the first event I'm attending... HAHAHAHAHA... =.=)

~ To be better ~

2011-10-29T03:05:00.001+08:00

I need to be better. To do better. To not just do what I can and leave it all up to coincidence.

I need to BE better.

~ Hello! ~

2011-08-04T00:48:00.000+08:00

That's why I was hesitant.
It's why I'm still hesitant.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have a miserable time when that day comes.
I can probably still cancel I guess, but not sure if I should.

I said it before when I left for this country and I'll say it again, if it wasn't for my family, I would've seriously lost it all years ago. If there was a god, I would thank Him/Her a thousand times for a family that above all else is behind me 100% of the way.

Thank you.

Focusing on the good things. It is what got me through those 4 years, it is what will get me through the rest of my life.

~ The Secret ~

2011-07-11T00:23:00.001+08:00

To getting what you want is to give up on everything you want.

~ I want ~

2011-05-29T00:50:00.001+08:00

I really want. I don't remember when I saw something and I wanted it so much. It's something I never had, but I want it sooooo bad and I dunno how to get it. ~.~

~ Alone ~

2011-05-24T00:28:00.000+08:00

There's a reason I said I'd be happy alone. It wasn't 'cause I thought I'd be happy alone. It was because I thought if I loved someone and then it fell apart, I might not make it. It's easier to be alone, because what if you learn that you need love and then you don't have it? What if you like it and lean on it? What if you shape your life around it and then, it falls apart? Can you even survive that kind of pain? Losing love is like organ damage. It's like dying. The only difference is death ends. This? It could go on forever.

-Meredith Grey
-Grey's Anatomy
-Season 7 Episode 22: Unaccompanied Minor

This speaks to me on a few levels. Not that I truly believe it, but the fact that the theme of this is being alone. And being okay with it.

I have gone through life hating to be alone. Being alone is a sign that you are not a friendly person. That you are not a socializer. That you are abandoned, single and solo.

Society teaches us that we need friends, we need people. That we cannot survive without others. So much so that when we are left alone that we sometimes don't know how to survive. That we think there's something wrong with us.

This quote points out that it's okay to be alone. Because it's simpler, less messy and you won't get hurt. And I kinda believe that sometimes. But the other hand is also true, that by being alone that you will never really love. Never find something that means so much to you.

It's like wanting both sides of a coin, wanting to have your cake and eat it too. It's impossible to want to be alone and want to be with someone.

And that's how I feel every single day.

Less so these days, but still, it comes up every now and then.

And I do really miss Grey's Anatomy's ending quotes. =)

~ Terrified ~

2011-04-24T23:35:00.001+08:00

I'm so terrified.
I need this to go well, but I'm not sure how to make sure it goes well.
I'm hoping that it'll go well.

~.~

~ Annoyances ~

2011-04-23T03:37:00.000+08:00

Many things annoy me these days. It seems stupid to be annoyed by so many things, but they just do.

~ Destiny ~

2011-04-06T00:41:00.000+08:00

(Nerd joke ~.~)

Fact is I dunno what I'm doing. What am I doing? I'm trying to obtain a job in a field which I don't particularly want to be in. I'm trying to start off in a field I want to be in but I keep getting pushed back because I look around and I see so many other people out there are so much better than me.

So it comes back to I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know what I want to do and I don't really wanna do anything.

Which is a problem when you're buying stuff left, right and center but have no means of actually paying for them yourself.

What do I do? What-do-I-do?

~ Inspiration ~

2011-04-02T02:10:00.003+08:00

I suffer from bouts of inspiration.
However, they disappear just as suddenly as they appear.
One minute I'm telling myself I can do this, I can make this big, huge, enormous.
Next minute I'm telling myself that it's impossible, I can't do this, it'll be worthless.

Point to note is that I think the point is that I should just do something.

I'm getting Sucker Punch's OST. I think it'll be useful.

Oh, and congrats Zack Snyder, you made a movie I didn't hate.

Sucker Punch speaks to me on many levels. I may or may not get into more detail later, but the main point of it is that it involves a lot of fantasizing, and I like fantasizing. =)

~ Apart ~

2011-03-30T22:51:00.000+08:00

Things just don't seem so good from my point of view. I wanna live a lot better than how I'm living now. Just seems like I'm just getting in my own way.

There's a lot of things I want to do. A lot of things I wanna see. But I just can never get down to doing any of them. It's a lack of motivation or a lack of drive or a lack of something which I don't know what.

How do I make myself do something then if I don't want to do anything?

On to an alternate subject.

If anyone who knows me, knows that I used to have this insatiable crush on this one girl in school I had since a very very very very very long time ago. Why I brought that up? Recently, I've just been having these... not dreams, just imaginations as to how it would be to be with her.

Knowing her, my imagination is probably going into overdrive. But then, it was so pleasant that I didn't really wanna stop imagining them. This however calls to order as to why am I using her in my fantasies? Am I just asking for another heartbreak when I see her with her boyfriend again? Which, technically, I have no idea if she does or does not have a boyfriend at this point of time (I'm inclined to think no, because that the impression I got the last time I saw her).

Point though, is that I doubt we're good for each other or will even ever work as a couple. But my mind has just been thinking about it a lot lately. Heck, I'm not even sure how she looks like recently, I think my imaginations are using a stock photo of her from my school days.

Just saying now that I have no real intention to go chasing after a pipe dream. Cause that's all it really is. There's no way she's going to live up to what I'm imagining now, I doubt anyone ever will, but that's something to just see isn't it?

Expectations is a very annoying thing sometimes. You build up your expectation to a level where it's nigh impossible for anyone to ever achieve, but you build the expectation anyway, like a castle in the sky, thinking optimistically that someone will come by and be your perfect someone.

Even any expectation is a burden these days. I just find that any expectation will just ultimately disappoint, no matter how small my expectation is.

~ Sing ~

2011-03-27T02:15:00.000+08:00

I love this song. Glee version and MCR version both. (YT video is sped down, quite noticeably. Will try to find a better link tomorrow or something)

Life feels very empty now though. Will espouse on it more another day, but at the moment, I'm feeling really empty, lifeless and pointless.

I realize a big chuck of movies I watch I like. That's just how I am though. I can almost always find something to like about a movie. Only exceptions to this rule are Watchmen, The Spirit and The Last Airbender.

~ Conceal ~

2011-03-04T02:03:00.000+08:00

Your pain.
Your hurt.
Your sadness.
Your depression.

Your joy.
Your elation.
Your happiness.

Your smile.
Your laugh.

Your fears.

All.

~ Think ~

2011-03-03T01:02:00.000+08:00

Like that.
Like this.
Like a wonder.
Like you're winning.
Like you've had control.
Like you are in the driving seat.

That it's okay.
That it's fine.
That it'll turn out right.

Again.

To the defense of a soul.
To the breaking of the heart.
To the elimination of one's sadness.
To the happiness of one's windfall.
To the migration of a season.
To the addiction of a common sport.
To the destruction of a jester.
To the loneness of a host.
To the guilt of a guest.
To the ignorance of the needy.
To the adulation of the plenty.

Off the tower.
Off the pinnacle.
Off the cliff.
Off the top.
Of doubt.

Now.

Looks so weird doesn't it?

Not really what I want to talk about actually, just the title I put reminded me of that.

Just wanted to say that I'm starting to see people getting into that stage of life where they find they're special one and moving in together and that sort of thing, and it's kinda annoying me.

In that sense, I think I'm a bit like Ted in that I want to be in that committed relationship stage and have all that stuff. I actually find Ted to be the most annoying character in that show though. So maybe I'm actually being annoying about this issue as well.

Still, it'll be nice to have someone clinging on to your arm and dragging you along everywhere. Sometimes... anyway. =)

~ I wish I had more of a life ~

2011-01-21T23:47:00.000+08:00

Not to say my life now sucks technically. It's quite good actually, I can buy (almost) what I want, I can do what I want, I have a reasonable job (which I may not have in about two weeks time) and life is in general, good.

But I dunno what is missing. Actually, I think I know what is missing, but I apparently don't have the makings of a man to get that few things that are missing.

What is it about me that can make a talkative person not want to talk? Do I just have that effect on people? This is one reason why I keep pulling away from people I think. I don't want to bring down the high spirits of an occasion or what not. But I just dunno how I'm supposed to live life avoiding people.

I'm not sure how I'm supposed to face people anymore. Life was simpler when I was young-er and had no semblance of thought. Which is in fact not true because I've always thought a lot. So apparently I've always been like this and just never really noticed till now.

Gawd I need help.

I most probably have typed this somewhere here before, but I do always wonder this on and off. What if I had managed to make myself believe in that group of people who believed in the entity known as God? Would I have managed to stay in touch with more people? Would that have saved/helped my problems with talking to people? Would I have found a soul-mate somewhere there? (I'm not referring to a soulmate, more like soul-mate... there's a difference there that I cannot/just-to-lazy to explain).

Could this Saviour, have actually been my saviour? Was that the point at which people say "God wants to help you, but first you have to help yourself"? Was that my one shot at getting God's help and I just spat at it and turned away?

It's times like this where I sometimes doubt my path of non-religious-ness. It's actually a religion in itself if you think about it. I zealously avoid all talk of religion and scoff when people praise the sky.

I hate feeling like this. And I've felt like this for like 5-6 years already. It's annoying, no doubt, but more than that, it's starting to hamper me. I hate it and I don't know if I will ever get out of it.

I complain a lot about it and never do anything I know. But I either dunno where to start or I just like feeling miserable. You decide.

Cause I clearly cannot.

~ Socially awkward since... ~

2011-01-20T22:17:00.000+08:00

I've been putting a lot of thought into a particular Facebook message I wanted to put up since like 2 weeks ago. But I just can't seem to get the wording right.

My original was:
Socially awkward around girls since 1986!

But that wasn't correct cause I have been able to talk to some girls reasonably well.

Addendum 1:
Socially awkward around pretty girls since 1986!

But then that wasn't right cause then girls I could get along with would accuse me of calling them not pretty (And some of them are pretty... god why am I using the word pretty?)

Addendum 2:
Socially awkward around ALL girls since 1986!

Should be fine, but then I realized that I'm awkward around guys as well.

Addendum 3:
Socially awkward since 1986!

But then that just isn't that funny.

... and then I lost my mind and just figured I'll stop thinking about it. =)

Cheers!

I've really gotta get around this issue man. I'll get nowhere with this. Zzz...

~ Stargate: Dream ~

2011-01-19T20:53:00.000+08:00

... bleh... stupid title.

Still, I would love it if it meant there would still be a Stargate show on TV next year.

This is probably a bit of old news, but if you didn't know, the multi award winning show Stargate Universe has been cancelled.

So okay, it didn't win any awards. I don't think it was even that popular to begin with, but heck, I do think it's a waste. Mostly because I liked it, it wasn't the same as SG-1 or Atlantis, but it had its own appeal. Mainly for the damn beautiful ship they were on. Additionally I do like how they tied in the references to its previous two shows. It wasn't a retcon most of the time and if you looked at it logically, it connected somehow, so that was cool.

I just don't get why everyone wanted the same thing as SG-1 and Atlantis. They were great shows no doubt, but if you wanted the same thing, just go and rewatch the SG-1 and Atlantis shows again why don't you?

And while I do get the comparisons to BSG, it still feels like a show on its own. Especially when it seemed to be branching out of the day-to-day survival style and moving more towards a purpose.

In any case, I'm actually not here to lament on the short life of SGU. I started off talking about Stargate because I wanted to say that I had this eerie Stargate-esq dream a few days ago. =)

It involved me being on a spaceship and having to hurtle myself through space towards a star going nova.

Yes, my dreams are that vivid and martyr-like.

I'm not sure why I was in the spaceship, considering that I don't like roller coasters. I'm not sure why I was the ONLY one left in that spaceship. And I have no idea why I had to pilot that ship towards that star.

And the Stargate references, for one, I did not actually see a Stargate in my dream. I only remember like the SG-1 characters for some reason talking to me through the communicator or something and telling me what to do. *Camera pans towards the other spaceship that is safely out of the way*

And then them telling me if I had anything to say to my friends and family back home etc. etc..

...

YEAH, MY MIND IS MESSED UP!!!

I mean seriously man. My dreams are SUPER WEIRD! And I wasn't even reading about Stargate the past few days. I was actually looking at the history of DC comics superheroes on account of them releasing DC Universe Online.

I still remember a previous dream I had, I think I probably blogged about it also, see this link: here and here.

Damn weird sia my dreams. Zzzz... hahaha...

Work is... okay actually. I kinda like it. Just that I feel like I just can't get along with the people. This is where my social awkwardness comes in. I just feel like an idiot sometimes. How hard issit to say "hello" or "good bye"?

Zzzz...

Haihz...

It's not all bad though, I'm getting along fine with my direct colleague... so that's good. Haha. I just wish I got along as well with everyone else. ~.~

~ Interaction ~

2011-01-12T22:09:00.000+08:00

It was the briefest of moments, when I could just say whatever I liked and never be awkward with the people around me. Now I feel like I'm awkward with everybody all the freaking time.

I mean I even have to prepare topics to talk about. And desperately try to inject that topic into the conversation so that I can have something to talk about. And sometimes when someone brings up something I know, I actually breathe a sigh of relief because then I have something to actually talk about.

And I think that doesn't get across because I seem so nonchalant all the time, but I'm constantly panicking inside.

I think I put it best when I replied to the comment in my last post. That my mind screams at me to just 'say something, anything' and my mouth just refuses to do it. It's just frustrating. ~.~

I dunno why I can't just say something, it just seems so god damn stupid of me. And everytime I do that, I just go home and beat myself up for it. It's just damn stupid. ~.~

~ Annoyed ~

2010-12-30T23:06:00.000+08:00

Really, I'm in a constant state of confusion. I dunno if I am depressed or mad; angry or crazy; desolate or depressed. (Yes, I said depressed twice)

I know I've been trying to move on, but I never know if that is the correct choice. I keep moving on, saying this will make me feel better, this will make me forget em, but in the back of my mind, I know that I will forever be missing them, and it annoys me to no end that that is the case.

My mom has been saying that that's always the case. You move on. Out of sight, out of mind. So does that mean all the good times we had last time were a lie? Or were they just awkward times that I didn't realize were awkward? Were I always this way and I just didn't know it?

I keep flashing back to my primary school teacher's worry about me. She always did worry that I would not get along with other people. That I would be outcast and alone. I think she was right to worry. Hell, it's the one thing that worries me everyday.

Just look at the facts. I'm 24. I don't have a close friend, let alone a BEST friend. I never had a girlfriend, and the one time I actually tried to tell someone I liked her, it was so pathetic, it was just plain... sad. I don't have a person that has stuck by me thick and thin, it's always once we're done, we're done. It'll be years before we make contact again, and even then, they'll say: "Oh, you... er... what's your name ar?" I lost (At least it feels like I've lost) the few people that I thought would stick with me, even though I tried to stay in touch, it never worked, and I wonder now if we were ever that close to begin with.

And it doesn't feel like I'm doing any better at the moment. I'm trying, but you won't believe how many times I want to speak up, but I don't because... I don't know why. -.-

It doesn't feel like I have anything worth while anymore.

My mom was mad at me recently for buying loads of SNSD and Kpop stuff. But I think that's one of the things that sustained me through the past few years/months, it isn't really much, heck, I'll even admit some of it seems worthless, but it was something to look forward to and it gave me a target, a goal to aim for.

Extend that to those few events that I went to. It's the same logic.

I get why sometimes people try to commit suicide. I think I've gone past that point a few points in my own life. I think I get the point of view, but maybe I've never really hit that point where it's all too much and you just have to do it. Will I ever hit that point? It all seems almost unbearable now, and yet here I am, worthlessly typing this out and not even contemplating that for a second.

Which isn't true actually, since I'm talking about it and all, means I've considered it obviously, but it's just never really an option to me. Throughout my life, I've never really ever considered that as an option. But maybe I've just never really hit rock bottom? Who knows. I do seriously think there's more to life that that though. At the very least, I cannot do that to my family.

My family, and all its extensions, are just the most awesome family there has ever been. I realize this now and I can tell you that your friends, your girlfriend, your boyfriend are nothing compared to your family. (There are caveats of course)

I think I may need help, I've been saying this for a while, but I've had people who just said I should get out more, speak up more and (Overwhelmingly) be more confident. I've had people who just look at me and say: "You? Need help for what?" I've had people who pooh pooh'ed my worries like they were nothing.

And just saying "be more confident" is not advice. I OBVIOUSLY have a problem showing confidence. You need to tell me how. Or even better, show me how.

Just for an example, I saw this girl in the MRT today. I'm almost 100% I know her. She walked right up to me. I wanted to wave and say hi.

Guess what?

I didn't.

I just stared glumly at her while she was busily perusing her iPhone 4 (Assuming it's an iPhone 4, I mean who has an iPod Touch these days? Except me... of course). I think she saw me and I dunno if she recognized me or not, but logic or even simple manners dictate that I should've acknowledged something right? But noooo... manners are not good enough for me.

Just study that situation logically. IF I did know her, I would've met someone and my day would've turned so much brighter (Assuming everything goes well). IF I didn't know her, it was the perfect conversation starter as well, and I could've known someone new (Assuming also that everything goes well).

I mean, there's no good reason why I shouldn't have just said "HI"! I mean it's just "HI!" HI HI HI! HOW BLOODY HARD IS THAT TO SAY!?

It's just stupid. I mean I'm just stupid.

I probably shouldn't have ranted on and on for so long, but it's been a while, and I've been worrying about this for days, weeks, months, even years.

I've been told that I'm impossibly noisy when annoying when I warm up to you.

So let's hope I get to annoy more people.

~ Alone ~

2010-12-28T00:12:00.000+08:00

This may be a bit on the dramatic side, but I feel on edge. Like something slight or small could just push me over. And that when I fall, no one would probably be there to pick me up.

I have only one redeeming thing in my life right now. Without that, life would actually be quite meaningless.

And it hella irritating btw. I get that there's a lot more to life and I wanna experience it, but I just can never get there. It's irritating. I want to be there, to have someone, to do something, to be someone. I want it all, but I have none whatsoever.

~ Still Alive ~

2010-12-08T21:43:00.000+08:00

... is a game I actually do wanna play. (I think it's called Still Alive right?)

Besides also wanting to play NFS: Hot Pursuit, which is damn fun btw! I played a bit of it the other day and it was just brilliant fun! I was calling for road blocks, calling the choppers, shooting EMPs, dropping spike traps, just hella fun!

I know I haven't been blogging, but it's just been real busy for me and I just didn't really have that much to blog about... except that I have a job now... that is... but if I blogged about that I would just be complaining, so why do that? =)

Not that working is no fun, just that I do have some minor gripes with the thing. =)

But anyway, just to say I will still blog, just dunno how often and how interesting.

Last thing for this post:

Rainbow's Mach!!!

Brilliant brilliant song! I mean seriously! I love it! Initially I actually thought A was better, but after a while, Mach just caught on. I love the choreography! Everything about it is just beautiful. Every movement of these seven girls just seemed perfect to me. Additionally, I think that this song and performance is much much more entertaining than another song I've been listening to recently. =)

~ Direction ~

2010-11-22T01:29:00.000+08:00

It's been a constant problem. If you don't believe me, try checking out my blog. This one and my previous one (If you have access... lolz)

And I think this is the umpteen time someone has told me to be confident.

I'm gonna be trying to down a vat of coffee tomorrow to see if that can help me stay awake.

Haihz. I wanna type but I can't seem to type out what I'm feeling. And screw you all who think that I'm just emo-ing. It's a problem, and it's a big problem and I need some help, not you there standing there and just passing it off as a fad.

Sorry, just had to lash out at someone/something. Feeling kinda crappy now.

Tomorrow is a brighter day right? Right?

~ Anime Festival Asia X (Day 2) ~

2010-11-19T21:54:00.000+08:00

More pictures on my Facebook page here: AFA X Day 2!!!

Day 2!!! XDXDXD

Looking forward to this day a whole lot more than day 1. Andrew came down especially for it, although he came and left so fast, it kinda missed the point. And idiot didn't wanna go concert with me, which is FINE by me. I'll just go alone, like everything else I go to. =)

And additionally, if you reached here at 10am and want to go back at 5pm, why would you come out all the way to my room when the convention is just next to you? I mean, seriously, that was a good 2 hours wasted doing nothing.

Anyway, nice thing about that day when I got there was that I saw SCANDAL!!!

They're the four girls on the seats watching the girl singing. =)

MY TOMOMIIIIII!!!! XDXDXD

Rina!!! Damn pretty girl!!! XDXDXD

That's about it for SCANDAL. I was thinking I could get more pictures of them later during the special appearance before the concert itself, but the rules were so strict!!! I mean seriously, guys were there yelling at people to keep their cameras and stuff. I don't really get why no photos, but I suspect it's money related. If it's during the concert, sure, I get it, but during the appearance also so strict? I mean what the hell.

So no more SCANDAL photos. =(

But I got loads of cosplay pictures and most importantly, of AIRA!!! And Alodia, but I didn't really like her costume much this time around. =)

Some quick pictures of the regional cosplay competition.

Kaname

Aira and Alodia

The Malaysian Team

Thailand Team

Phillipines Team

Singapore Team

Indonesian Team

Singapore won third place.

Indonesia won second place (I liked them to win first, but then they never talked. Lolz)

Thailand won first! Haha.

Picture with the judges and stuff...

The hostess of the entire thing at the moment. Haha.

Whee... the fun part of this event... or at least the part I paid millions to see. =)

Kaname and Aira

AIRA!!! I love this cosplay. =)

Kaname's cool pose. Lol.

I got quite a few more Aira pictures. I was just browsing through my folder and I just smiled seeing all my (Authentically blurry) pictures. =)

Group pose. =)

Group pose with some contest winners. The guy looks so... ^^;;
Although I'll probably make that face also. I am unable to take any good pictures. =.=

Group pic with the hosts!!! This was funny! XD

Black Rock Shooter or... something. This was the character Aira was cosplaying. XD

K-ON!! Nendodroids! XD

Finally, the last thing that I came here to do, watch I LOVE ANISONG!!! XDXDXD

No pictures allowed, so... nothing much to say. My opinion of the concert was that it was fantastic!!! angela was a very energetic opener, and I love Shang-ri La now. May'N was so damn cute I may have gotten diabetes.

BUT SCANDAL WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!! XDXDXD
I MEAN SERIOUSLY!!! XDXDXD

SCANDAL WAS JUST SO DAMN COOL!!! I love the fact that they started off with Everybody Say Yeah! That part is just ingrained in my mind. Now everytime I hear Everybody Say Yeah!, it automatically brings me back to that time. It was just damn beautiful.

Interestingly, I actually knew most of their songs, so I was bouncing on my feet singing along and waving my arms around. It was fun!!! Even though I went solo and had a damn serious dude sitting on my right and a cautious dude sitting on my left (Three single men walk into a concert... ~.~), I was just so pumped when SCANDAL came on!

When Shunkan Sentimental came on btw, I just went mad!!! XDXDXD

Oh, just a fyi, I was okay okay during angela's performances till they did a encore of Shang-ri La, then I started being more aggressive. Then SCANDAL came and I just kinda lost it. =)

And I like the arrangement. angela, SCANDAL, May'N. Some people say waste a lot of time setting up SCANDAL's equipment, but I liked. SCANDAL's part was going to be the most high energetically, it made sense to put it in the middle and to let us tone down with the cute as a pie May'N. =)

SCANDAL had the longest set also I think. angela may have had an equally long set, but I was surprised May'N's was so short. It was too bad SCANDAL didn't get to come back to do an encore. I can still remember them waving when they walked off.

What can I say? I'm just hooked on SCANDAL now. Don't tell anyone, but I just ordered their Live DVD tour. XD

I just have to see it kay? =)

Bring them back for AFA XI!!! Or better yet, their own show! I'll surely be going! XDXDXD

More pictures on my Facebook page here: AFA X Day 2!!!

~ G.NA for Singtel Galaxy Tab Launch Event ~

2010-11-17T21:49:00.000+08:00

This will be short. Cause I got a totally different event to type out about.
And frankly, I didn't see much. =)

G.NA came again to Singapore~
Feels like it was just yesterday where she came to Singapore to do an autograph session.

And that's all. =)

I mean really, unless I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab, that's all you were going to see. The nice thing was that she did come out of the enclosed special area to come and wave and say hi to the fans standing outside in the rain. But yeah, that was mostly it.

Her live singing was amazing though. Performed four songs: Supa Solo, Leave, Rumors (I think) and her smash hit I'll Back Off So You Can Live Better.

And that's that. Some more pictures at my FB: here. Not much really, just in case you're interested.

Oh, and she went to perform the next day at the... thingy. I forgot what it was. Haha. But you can go to YT and google: G.NA, Singapore, Thingy. I think that'll work. =P

Alternatively, browse this user's channel: saumun
All credit goes to him and whoever took those fancams or captures or whatever. (I didn't see the videos yet, I just know they're there. =))

She might be going to Malaysia soon though, so Malaysians out there, take note... if interested... that is... =P

~ Anime Festival Asia X (Day 1) ~

2010-11-14T03:24:00.000+08:00

I technically didn't enter the stages today. Wasn't really interested in the performances today and I had already seen the Gundam 00 movie. I would maybe have been interested in the Kana Hanazawa and Milky Holmes session, but it's too late to change my mind now. =)

I did, collect all my stuff though. I love the Anisong card. Looks damn nice.

The photobook a bit low quality in my opinion. It's either that or I've been seeing too many high quality photobooks that this photobook just seems low quality.

My tickets. =)

I saw a lot of people buying stuff and bringing it home. Quite a lot of stuff. Gundams, figurines and posters I think. Lots of things to look forward to tomorrow. =)

For today though, I hung out outside the stages and got to see a lot of cosplay. And I'm not going to call my pictures lousy anymore (Although they kinda are), but I'm going to go with 'authentically genuine'. HAHAHA.

So if you want genuine photos with grainy effect, do come find me. =P

Some of the better cosplays I saw today...

Shitload of guns. No idea which anime though.

Looks sleepy. Or her eyes just damn small. =)

K-ON!! Festival version I would say. Lol.

Damn cute. =)

Quite cute... but then she was kinda sien ady at the time I took this. Lolz.

For other photos, go my Facebook album here lar: Anime Festival Asia X (Day 1).

Tomorrow's going to be a looong day. But hey, I get to see Tomomi!!!! And Ono, Mami, Rina, Alodia, Aira, Kaname and... others. =)2

~ Working Working ~

2010-11-09T20:28:00.000+08:00

Second day of work. I feel a bit the stressed. Interesting thing though, is that I actually am managing to spread out my time quite okay.

So far anyway, I mean come on, it's just my second day. ^^;

The work has been okay so far. I do feel like I still dunno what I'm supposed to know. But when I was looking at the code today, I felt that inkling of the code just coming back to me. I hope.

A lot of other stuff though that I still don't know. I hope I learn quick. Really quick.

More later. I just can't make myself post these days. ><

Oh, interesting thing happened yesterday. I got home, took something and then ran out of the room at full speed to meet a girl. When I got there, I yelled out her name, passed her the gift and waved her off. =)

I'm not kidding. Although I am embellishing a bit. And I only wished it was as romantic as I made myself think it is. Truth be told, it was just a simple pass off of a thing. Haha.

Although she is really a really really really really really damn nice girl. I mean really really really really really. =)

~ Work work ~

2010-11-02T01:20:00.000+08:00

Well, I've finally found a job. ^^;

Fancy sounding title as well. My brother was complaining that he's basically an engineer, while I'm a "SYSTEM ANALYST"! BWAHAHAHAHA!

Although one thing I have to say, I was so focused on finding a job that I forgot that I had to work after I found the job. ^^;;

Still, I'm ready though. I've been hanging around doing nothing for months. It's about time I got down and dirty and actually did something useful.

Before that though, I've got like 5-6 days more to slack around. I'm planning on finishing Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood by then. It'll be my last spammed series before I actually get into the life of a working maniac. ^^;;

Not really sure how maniac-ky I'll be about work though. Haihz.

One side effect of actually finding a job though, I have to keep myself from clicking the "Buy Now" button on so many different websites. It's a bit of a pain. Haha.

On that note, I've been listening to a lot of Jpop recently to pump myself up for the I love Anisong concert. XDXDXD

More about that on another post. I wanna start trying to post on a regular basis. It's been a while since I posted. ^^;

~ Hoot ~

2010-10-29T02:14:00.000+08:00

I love ittttt!!! =)

Seriously, I love it... I mean it. Haha.

I just think they all look damn good in the MV, and the bow and arrow dance (Or whatever people are gonna start calling it) actually looks very interesting.

Been spamming it whole day... and night... and the next day. =)

Gonna spam it some more tomorrow. Now I gotta go sleeep... haha...

~ Kpop Night Concert 2010 ~

2010-10-26T18:53:00.000+08:00

Wheee...

Well, at least, that would be my response if the thing went well and all that. As such, I do have a lot of complaints about it.

Main thing being that if you sat near the back, you wouldn't even see anything. I dunno about the elevated seats, but I would bet they had a slightly better view, even if they were 20 meters behind us.

Additionally, screens were lousy, far away, and were kinda useless when everyone in front, to the side, behind (Not that that matters) of you are standing on their seats. I tried to be a nice guy and not stand on the seat so that I wouldn't block the view of those behind me, but when everyone is doing it, you don't really have a choice.

Not sure about sound quality because of all the screaming around me. I was wondering, will those girls make themselves deaf by screaming all this much?

Anyway, some pics, I don't really see the point of most of them because they are damn blur, but hey, that's what I've got. =)

Stage

MCs

FT Island

FT Island didn't do badly. They had that "Sarang Sarang" song that I knew, so I was cool with them. Haha.

The Boss

I don't really know any of their songs, so I can't really say anything about them. Did okay as well I guess. Only group at the time that everyone actually sat down. ^^;

ZE:A

I actually felt that I would be indifferent to ZE:A (Like I was with FT Island, The Boss and Infinite), but then I realized that they were singing Mazeltov, which I do actually quite like, despite the weird lyrics in my opinion. They were counting the days from Monday to Sunday for god's sake. =)

Infinite

I enjoyed their performance. I can't tell you what song they sang, I can't tell you how many songs they sang, but I just remember thinking to myself that "hey, infinite doesn't sound bad at all..." =)

Now on to what you can consider are the main acts of this show...

SHINee

The atmosphere literally changed when SHINee came up on stage. And the atmosphere stayed that way for the rest of the night (I would even say it got higher and higher actually).

They were good, they were one of the groups I was waiting for when I paid to go to this concert. They sang Replay, which was good, but I was just hoping they would sing it to SNSD. (Although that may incite some crying or cursing... from... people... =))

Followed which, they sang their other hits like Ring Ding Dong, Lucifer and Hello. Kinda wished they sang Juliette also, but hey, it is what it is.

Oh, and also one of their singers didn't make it due to some ankle injury or something. Now, since I'm not really that big of a SHINee fan, I'm okay with that, but I imagine some people was crying at that point. =)

The 2nd most popular group during the night (Or most... depending on who you ask... =))

SNSD!!!!

XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=)

=D

Well, it would've been much better had I been nearer. But for now, I'm relatively content.

I GOT TO SEE SNSD!!!! =D=D=D

Huh, can't believe I'm actually smiling when I'm typing that. HAHAHA.

I won't say much lar, because it may not be obvious to you, but I actually only bought this tix just for that moment. It could've been a better moment, no doubt, but hey, I'll take it for what it's worth.

And finally, the stars of the show (Also, dependent on who you ask)

Big Bang

I couldn't actually get a picture of all five of them... so... yeah...

Regardless of who the actual stars of the show actually was, Big Bang's performance really was the BOMB that night. In the sense that they were given more songs to work with and they had some semblance of a show that night. I mean this is the sense that singing a string of hit songs, no matter how popular, does not a concert make. Big Bang's songs were arranged very nicely. Pumping up the night with Gara Gara Go! and Number 1 before toning things down with a perfect rendition of Haru Haru followed by Lies (Which is how Haru Haru and Lies should always be performed btw). Then ending things off which Last Farewell (Apt don't you think?), How Gee (Which I've never heard of) and Hands Up!.

Big Bang were really the stars of the night. Even though I love SNSD more, I just have to say that. Their performance was well arranged, well sung, fully energized and had a whole lot of showmanship.

The next part kinda... irks me a bit...

I mean how do you end a concert? With a big group song? OKAY, sure... but choosing WE ARE THE WORLD!? Come on... that's so cliched. And at least choose the MJ version.

No way I could get a pic of them all together. =)

See the red box, that's where the artists are... haha...

I would've much preferred an uptempo song. With everyone jumping and what not. I think that would've been a cooler way to end the concert.

But hey, you get what you get.

So that's that. Overall, it was a fun night. I got to meet a few of the sones I have been talking to online for quite a long time ady, so that was cool as well. I do have to complain about the fact that I couldn't really see the artists all that well, which IS a big problem when all I wanted to do was to SEE the artists. But I'll give them points for atmosphere, which they don't really deserve because atmosphere is basically done by the audience after all. Haha.

Some people can say I can die happy now after seeing their idols in person. Well, I wish I could say that. I can probably say I can die 20% happy now, but that would be pushing it. I think the percentage of happiness is about 5~10%.

This is a teaser, a taste of what I would expect, and I hope when I do get there one day, it will be better than I ever imagined. =)

Oh, more lousy pictures on my Facebook page: here.

If you don't like my lousy pictures, go to XINMSN, allkpop, some other Kpop site or whatever to find better quality pictures or fancams. Or just find someone who went there who had a good view with a DSLR or something.

Or you could've just went there. Duh. =)

~ My Gundam Building Day(s) ~

2010-10-17T23:25:00.000+08:00

I spent two days (kinda) to build this stupid set.

Well, it's not a stupid set, but everytime I buy a gundam set, I call it stupid and then proceed to build it and think it's the most awesome thing ever, but I still call it stupid, it's just a thing I do.

All my tools...

Half completed torso of the 0 Gundam. This is the only half completed piece I have... I kinda got into a mode and didn't bother taking any more half completed pieces. Which I kinda regret now, but hey, that's what it is.

Took me relatively a day to finish both models. The night before of a Sunday and the entire morning of the next Monday. So it's essentially a day.

Anyway, this is what the finished products look like. I tried to replicate the pose on the box cover, but it didn't work out so well considering the size of Exia R2's Beam Saber.

Some other poses. I mean what the hell are you supposed to do with Gunpla anyway? Just pose only right? =)

Got some styrofoam and wanted to make it look awesome and all that stuff. You know the one where people go and make a backdrop and add LED lights and paint a moonscape and all that.

Well, I got tired. Haha.

In the end I decided to just do that. I mean, it doesn't really look great, but I didn't have the heart or the energy OR the time OR the money to actually go and make a moonscape and all that.

The other four on the other side is the 1/200 Speed Grade ones (I'm assuming here, but I think it fits the description I read online). Got them a long time ago. Just threw them in for the heck of it.

However, at the end of the day, I found that I had no good place to place this styrofoam monstrosity. So I dismantled it and just put every model in my cupboard. Arranged quite nicely if I do say so myself.

That's that. My Gunpla, safely stored in a small cupboard. Haha. Maybe one day I'll take them out and do the moonscape thing like I intended, but for now, this is where they'll stay. =)

Considering this is my first ever 1/144 scale models, I would say it has been fun. Even stressful at times. I read up about it a bit as I wanted to do it right, but in the end I just improvised a lot.

I'm moving up though. Went from 1/200 SG to 1/144 HG. Not bad. Although before I even consider moving to 1/100 or 1/60, I wanna practice more on a few more 1/144s. And really, this is not really a hobby I want to get into, at least not now.

I'm focusing more or less on the Gundam 00 series, because it's the only series I have ever watched. But having just 6 models, 4 of which are not really highly rated by people, is not really a collection.

But hey, as long as I'm happy and content, who cares? =)

I would probably buy another one, the 0 Gundam with the GN particle wings thingy when the price goes waaaayyyy down or if I think I can afford to buy it. Or maybe some of the Gundam 00 movie ones. I'm really liking Zabanya. =)

"Gundam Exia, eliminating target!"

(That's just damn corny... =D)

~ The apocalypse ~

2010-10-12T23:29:00.000+08:00

Is such a nice thing for fiction. Everything these days revolve around the apocalypse.

Some apocalyptic shows I want and wanted to watch... =)

The Road. I've been hearing about it and I really wanna read and watch the movie. I do not know though, which I should do first. Should I read first or watch first? ^^;;

The Walking Dead. Possibly a very nice show to watch. I hoping for good things from this show. The podcast I listen to talked very highly of this. I get the feeling I'll be overhyped for it. Haha.

Not a show. But I love this game. This game kinda 'cured' my reluctance and mental block towards FPSes... but I can play this game no problem these days. Haha. So I'm gunning for other FPSes or even this game again. I long time never play liao. Lolz.

Last one, not really apocalyptic. But I just wanted to say. ANOTHER ONE MEH!? =)

Anyway, this is not really a very good list of apocalyptic movies/series/shows/games. But heck, it's a list I'm quite interested in (Except Final Destination). So it's cool with me. Next time I wanna do more research before I do another apocalyptic thing. It deserves better. =)

Oh another one to add... kinda...

Good Omens. Everyone says Terry Pratchett is a damn funny writer. I kinda agree, but I do have to say his story does have some structure. I was expecting something wacky and weird and nonsense, but it has quite an engrossing story. Haha.

~ Tenshi ni Fureta yo! ~

2010-10-09T03:03:00.000+08:00

Azu-nyan~~

I'll talk about this show in general in another post. This post is just to say that Azu-nyan is just soooooo cute!!!! XDXDXD

And I love this song!!! Although probably not my favorite of all their songs. But still, it's a nice song. Haha.

~ SCANDAL ~

2010-10-06T01:22:00.000+08:00

Past few days have been listening to SCANDAL.

Four girls who met at some music center and then just started playing together. And now are quite famous. Sounds so fairytale-ish.

Also sounds a lot like K-ON!! The anime. Although, I haven't finished it, so I don't know if they did make it big or not. But it's a fun anime to watch nevertheless. (I will actually talk about that in another post later on)

But anyway, I've basically been spamming two of their songs only though. So not really sure how much I will like their other stuff. I tried listening to a few others, I didn't really like it all that much. I will try again eventually, but for now, I'm good with these two songs. =)

SCANDAL - Secret base ~Kimi ga kureta mono~

Technically not actually their song. It's a cover of ZONE's song. Which is another equally if not more so, famous band than SCANDAL. ZONE is disbanded however. And really, I actually find I do like a recent spin to old songs rather than the originals sometimes. Depends a lot on the pedigree of the singer covering the song, but in general I find that I normally do prefer covers over originals assuming the original is a very very very old song.

SCANDAL - BeauTEEN

Tomomi's part in this is just soooooooo cute. XDXDXD

And yeah, I kinda have memorized all their names, although I do probably still have problems differentiating them. Haha.

They are coming to Singapore though. I was thinking about maybe going. But one, no one wants to go with me. And two, I can't afford spending more money to go for things like this. ~.~

Although, if you are reading this and really feel like going, do let me know. =P

Oh, and also, it's part of the Anime Festival Asia thingy. The I ♥ Anisong thingy. It's not only SCANDAL coming, got others, but the only other one I can remember at the moment is May'N. Who seems to always come here for the festival. Which is kinda cool actually. Haha.

~ G.NA Draw G's First Breath Autograph Session ~

2010-10-03T21:08:00.000+08:00

(My pictures kinda suck in quality. Just fyi... =D)

So last Wednesday I went to hang out with G.NA!!!

Not really hang out, but I got to see her. Lolz.

Previously I bought the album in order to get into the queue, then I found out I actually won the priority queue thingy, so I didn't need to queue!!!

However, I actually went there like 5 hours early (Which is nothing compared to those who went there 8 hours early), and I actually could've gotten into the front of the line no problem. So actually, I'm not sure what exactly I benefited from the priority queue. Haha.

But anyway, she performed Supa Solo!!!

Previously didn't really like this song, but after that, I was listening to it all the way back home. XDXDXD

Number 1 babeh!!! I seems to always be able to get the pictures where they raise their hands in the air. =)

After which, short interview with the MC and interact with fans (That sort of thing) and then the fans managed to bully her until she cry.

Well, okay, they (Actually, I should say "we" ^^;;) sang her happy birthday! So she was so touched till she cries. Lolz. Hardly anyone sings me happy birthday these days. =P

Then it was the main event of the... event! ^^

The autograph session!!!

I was quite up front, so I got mine relatively early. She was damn pretty up close by the way, and her smile just melts you inside. XDXDXD

Anyway, after that I went around looking at the crowd and stuff. It was quite insane.

I think in total was about 300 people. So G.NA was there signing about 300 albums non-stop. Haha. Props to her for keeping it up and always doing it with a smile. =)

She looks exhausted eh? =)

Then it was the last words and we all hope she can come back soon!!! XDXDXD

After that, I was figuring I would go home, maybe tidy up the photos a bit and then post this up. But apparently I had this great idea to take the train ride to the airport to see her off.

Yes, I'm not sure what I was thinking. ^^;;

But anyway, as far as airport send offs go, I think it went okay. As far as my first experience with stalking a celebrity in an airport, that was pathetic. ^^;;

I mean, I could not get a good shot, and I was kinda half hearted as to whether I should run to chase her or not.

These are the lousy pictures I've got...

Only reasonable picture I got...

Which looks kinda nice actually. Haha.

After that, I just took some long range shots from a higher floor after she had already checked in.

Taking these pictures is actually creepy in my opinion. It's like going to the supermarket and taking pictures of some random person. ^^;;

But anyway, that's what I've got!!! HAHA.

In conclusion, I had loads of fun at the autograph session! Supa Solo is amazing! Stalking people at airports require more heart and a willingness to look stupid. =)

Come back soon G.NA!!! XDXDXD

~ Listen ~

2010-09-28T03:13:00.000+08:00

To Charice... on Glee!!! =)

As I've read, she has sang this song before appearing on Glee at some function or other. But this is the first time I'm listening to it and it is just bloody awesome.

This is the cut from Glee. She looks great in the cap. =) (Cut is inverted I believe, look at the tv logo)

This is the full version With a annoying ad placement throughout though, but it still actually does sound damn good. I can't wait to get my hands on a clean version of the song.

The thing about this is that they showed a shortened version on the show, yet released a full version of it as well. In either case, they do both sound great! The short version actually gets to the payoff quickly and you get the satisfying note at the end with relative ease. The full version, she goes through another verse, which I first though would drag a bit after I've heard the short version, but hell, Charice really made the song interesting. Rather than just do the long note pulls (I have no idea what they call those) she varies it accordingly and it works so well, it brings figurative tears to my eyes. I now equally love both the short and long versions.

And she looks so darlingly darling as Sunshine Corazon.

Trust me when I say I've been listening to this song till 3am daily since last Friday. I just can't stop listening to it.

Looking forward to more awesome stuff from Charice on Glee!!! I love it when they do epic songs like that. It's just epic.

And technically, I even loved her duet with Lea Michele when they did Telephone. The problem with that is that everything else is just eclipsed by Listen. Listen truly made me listen. (Brrr... it just got so very cold...)

This is the telephone duet.

Sounds great as well. But lemme get back to Listen. =)

~ Inter View Me ~

2010-09-20T14:33:00.000+08:00

What the hell does interview mean anyway? From the "view" I assume "seeing", so I guess in literal terms it's two people looking at each other.

...

That sounds wrong. Haha.

In any case, I still seem to have no luck landing a job. It's quite, let's say depressing. Haha.

I haven't been blogging in a while though. No real excuses for that, but I just haven't had anything much to do or so. Some things I did that maybe interesting...

Went to watch Mobile Suit Gundam 00: Awakening of a Trailblazer

First time ever that I watched an anime in the cinemas!!! Although, not really the best movie I've watched. There are inherent flaws in the movie and some flaws with the place I watched it. Overall, I don't really think it's that good of a movie to watch, but as a Gundam 00 fan, you oughta watch it just to sorta, finish the series. XD

I bought G.NA's album. =)

Yes, I do feel rather stupid about it, but I did always like G.NA when she debuted. Her song is just plain awesome. Additionally, I listened to her entire album when I got it, and I love Supa Solo now. Not to mention, her fourth track Loving U is also just plain awesome. G.NA just rocks!!! =P

Anyway, besides that, I've got absolutely nothing else going on!!! Absolutely NOTHING!!! I need something dammit! HAHA.

~ Paranoia ~

2010-09-15T02:38:00.001+08:00

Yes, I move on my emotions very quickly. ^^

This, however, still makes me laugh like nothing else: "He should see Drones being built, this should surprise him, it's a shocking strategy, nobody knows about the Drones!!!" XDXDXD

UPDATE: Here just to add on some rants. *RANT RANT RANT*

That's it. Lolz.

I wish someone would just bloody hire me already dammit. ~.~

~ Gundam Fiesta 2010 ~

2010-09-08T23:44:00.001+08:00

Yea... that... again...

But since I did recently get a new set, I figured maybe I can go there and get some ideas on how to build mine.

A pair of plyers btw, cost 11.95sgd... O.o WOW!

But anyway, didn't really get much ideas, but I was almost tempted to get some action stands. My plan now is to get two action stands, build the damn gundam models and place them in a display box with moon surface designs... lolz... ambitious no? XD

Someone paid $8000SGD for this. HAHA. I mean WOW!

The four Gundams in the Gundam 00 movie. Looks cool. I love the look of the 00 Qan[T]. Rapahel also looks interesting. And Zabanya's Holster bits are damn huge!!! Harute I can't say much though. Like nothing much new like that. HAHA.

But that's that. Haha. Nothing much else to say. Was nice to see so many models, yet depressing that I cannot own them all. Hahaha.

More pictures here at my FB: Here. But really, I didn't really take much pictures anyway. Hahaha.

~ How was your birthday this year? ~

2010-09-08T13:16:00.000+08:00

Not bad, not bad I would say.

One nice thing about having such a nice blogging streak btw, is that I actually have a record of all my past birthdays since 2005.

2005:

Oh, naive me... :P
Still so young then. Didn't even hit 20 yet.

2006:

I sound like I was distracted this year. But I do remember it vaguely. Wasn't a very good year I think except for the fact that I met my new Malaysian-Singaporean friends.

2007:

Moved to blogspot from my Multiply site. "Bday also emo". Lol. Also don't remember much of this day also. Haha. Just probably doing the same thing I was doing those days. Which is nothing. Hahaha.

2008:

I still have that bear actually. And actually, all the presents given by this friend of mine are basically acting as paperweights in my room. Not that I don't appreciate the gift, but, what are you supposed to do with a jade horse statue? :P

Oh, one other thing interesting about this year, some friends tried to "sing" happy birthday to me online:

2009:

First one in this blog. Haha. This year was sad if I wasn't mistaken. I had to buy everything for myself. Which, isn't such a bad thing, since I know what I want. ^^

2010:
And here we are! Six years in blogging glory, my birthdays written down in electronic ink. Irreplaceable evidence that I had actually gone through at least 6 birthdays. Proof that I am at least 6 years old!

See, Spongebob is happy! :P

At any rate, I would say this year was the best birthday I've had in years (At least 6). Why? Because this was the year where I actually celebrated it with people! I mean actual people, not people online, not people through facebook, not talking with someone on the phone. I was actually present when ALL my relatives came down to celebrate my birthday.

Yes, ALL my relatives came to my hometown to celebrate my birthday. :P

Well, okay, so it wasn't to celebrate MY birthday, it was to celebrate my grandpa's birthday, but the date was on my actual birthdate, so I'm choosing to remember it as MY birthday celebration. :P

But besides that happy fact, I actually went out to celebrate it with my friends the night before, which sucked in the sense that I missed out on going to satay celup with my relatives, but rocked in the fact that I got a Spongebob balloon...

I dunno if that is sad or happy news. Lol.

But anyway, for some reason, I did not feel awkward that night at all, even with the potentially embarrassing Spongebob balloon in hand, it wasn't embarrassing. Which is weird.

And then I had the lunch the next day, which was fun! Haha.

And that was my birthday, basically. Nothing much more to report except for my presents.

I truly do appreciate the present, I really do, but for the love of god, I'm not worth this much! Haha. And to put it another way, I'm not that good of a Gunpla player, so I have no idea how my construction of this will turn out.

This isn't really supposed to be my present, but my present got held up by shoddy shipping and lies from the seller.

And in any case, I wasn't really intending to buy this album, but due to some unforeseen circumstances and me feeling really pissed off by some other seller, I decided to get it as a "EAT THIS!" gesture.

In hindsight, not really that worth it, but I do like the signatures. So let's just say I'm content. XD

And still waiting for my actual present... ~.~

So that's that, jot this down as another birthday in the annals of my blogging adventures! And here's to the next one, next year, down the road!!! XDXDXD

~ Week of Horrors ~

2010-08-31T00:43:00.000+08:00

Horrible week I had, if you count the week starting from last Thursday.

One, I had to lose money for no good reason (Read all about it here: GAHHHH!!!), following that I found out that my study loan has a interest rate of 4.75%, which is no low amount. Afterwards, I tried to get a google adsense account to get more moolah, turns out this blog has 'inappropriate' material to qualify for an account. AS a result of me trying to work in google ads though, my nuffnang Glitterati account was revoked! So my plan to cash out this month was thwarted. Then today, I found out the Orange Caramel album I ordered ages ago may not be the autographed version! Which is bullshit cause I ordered that ages ago and they should've kept a copy for me. ~.~

And right now, I am almost literally freaking out due to my cashlessness and my wanting to buy lots of stuff and the fact that I am practically unhirable. ~.~

I just wanna... GAAHhhh... it's been one hell of a week... I was feeling so bad I called my mom although I just didn't know what I wanted to say. I was just there sighing and stuff and she just talked to me. Lol. Kinda waste of phone credit... ~.~

Haihz...

~ To Hebe ~

2010-08-29T16:20:00.001+08:00

So pwetty... ♥♥♥

S.H.E is always the one cpop group that I have followed. Not really because I think their songs are that nice (Which, they mostly are, I actually consider Superstar a personal fav, not only because it was overplayed, but because it did actually get me out of a almost depressive state), but all because of Hebe Tian.

Look at her, so demure, so innocent, so cute. XD

Whenever I look at S.H.E, I do always just look for Hebe. I don't really mind looking at Selina or Ella, but I just love love love Hebe.

Stupid me have actually given up two chances to see her in person though. Once was a fanmeeting which I knew about but I got too lazy to go. Another was a concert/meeting I DIDN'T know and I didn't go. ~.~

But anyway, that's besides the point.

Because now I can actually throw in 100% support behind her rather than throwing in 33.33333% support for her. XD

Cause this is Hebe's first ever solo effort!!!!! (Not counting any OSTs or what not, which I have no idea if she did any)

Second song off her album... 寂寞寂寞就好

Literal translation of the title is "I'm lonely lonely, it's fine". I actually had no idea how to translate the title, I mean, I understood the meaning, it's just that... how do you translate that? So I went to google it and it made sense to split it in the middle with a comma. Lolz... I was going to go with, "I'm good with being lonely lonely"... hahahaha.

And the first song off the album: LOVE

Initially the "I love you, you love him, he loves her, she loves him" annoyed me to no end. But after a while, I got used to it. And actually, the song is very introfelxive (Huh?). No, wait, introspective (English fail!!! ~.~). As in the song does get you thinking... eventually, once I sat down, concentrated and actually understood what the hell the lyrics were saying (I understand mandarin, I just have to take some time to fully listen to understand it) the song then really stood out to me. ♥♥♥

I am soooo excited over actually seeing her album! I don't really have to flip through pages looking for Hebe's stories as in this book:

Which is incidentally the first thing of S.H.E I'd ever bought. Came with a free CD:

Those PR jackasses have been so sly with album info that I can't take it... it just builds suspense like an idiot. I mean this is all we get to see of her album so far:

With the reassurance that we will get to see her full face on the cover... hahaha.

Anyway, September... er... 4th? 8th? I'm mixing up my dates. One of them is the release of SNSD's Genie another is Hebe's To Hebe. Interesting no? Hahaha.

I just can't wait... XDXDXD

~ GAARHHHR!!! ~

2010-08-26T14:30:00.000+08:00

This is a rant post. So feel free to ignore.

It not so much that my morning was horrible, it was more of how I handled it. Appropriately, I handled it like a naive, foolish idiot. It wouldn't have mattered so much if I just made a mistake and learnt from it, it was the fact that that mistake cost me money.

Ultimately, I get that it was my fault. But what sort of bloody security is that if a sleeping guy and just sleep his way through your security? Seriously, I was totally tired out the day before from packing and stuff, so I slept during the trip, is that wrong?

Anyway, the other part is that it would have been fine if I had not been such an idiot and knew how to play the 'game'. Had I remembered that 'checking out' was just a matter of glancing at a 'document' and not a full process of stamping and scanning, I would've just went on and crossed over without much issue. As it was, I had to get off and get myself into trouble.

And I get the other game they played though. I never did have the idea of that game, so I was quite confused, but they slowly took me to one side and asked for, let's say
'transit fees'.

So I was so relieved I did not really think it through and paid and got through. But the thing is really the fact that I did not really think it through and for that I wasted my money. Money that is not technically mine and I am feeling really really pissed about it. Mostly on myself, but really, why they hell did no one call me up? >.<

Anyway, what's past is past I guess. It's just one of those things that inevitably only happens to me and no one else. Seriously, ask around, you think anyone is that stupid to actually sleep through a checkpoint?

Anyway, I just have to say it out somewhere. I was feeling really stupid, really foolish and really pissed at myself. >.<

Not sure what the hell I should tell people if they ask. This is I think the stupidest thing I've ever done. Second would be the getting fined for doing something everyone else was already doing, but that's a old and long story.

~ Summarized Version of "Clickety Click Click Click" ~

2010-08-22T22:39:00.000+08:00

Just a summarized version cause I'm almost positive anyone who read the previous one would've gotten bored halfway through.

PTC, click and you get cents. Click a lot and you get a lot of cents. Get referrals and their clicks will get you more cents. Get many many referrals and you get many many more cents.

Yes, that says it succinctly. Haha.

For more info and my views, please check this post, if you're interested: Here.

But for now, if you really think this is a plausible way to make some side income, and I do know of one Malaysian who has gotten about $10USD weekly, so it is quite nice.

Anyway, if interested, click any of these banners and sign up and comment to me if you wanna discuss more. Lolz.

Not PTC, but can click for pennies... lol...

Anyway, that's it, if seriously you're interested in more, read my previous post, Here.

Kayz, if you don't like this or don't believe it in, thank you for your time. ^^

~ Clickety Click Click Click ~

2010-08-22T01:36:00.000+08:00

I've been clicking all over the web today.

Literally.

So here's the full explanation, I started off today looking at what you people will call PTC sites. Full name, Paid-to-Click sites. These sites give you like pennies for clicking and watching/reading their advertisements and collect all those pennies and you will get a substantial amount in like 2,304,428 years time. (Yes, I calculated, it does take that long. =P)

So I was thinking, what with all the PTC sites out there, what if I went through all off them collected pennies from every site and cashed out from every site, I would have a substantial amount no?

Not so true.

Cause every PTC site out there do not actually payout when you ask it to. In fact, from what I've seen, all the time I spend on clicking on some of them was wasted. So here I am, with a bunch of virtually wasted virtual pennies that I cannot actually convert into cold hard cash.

But it wasn't all wasted, I've ultimately come up with a reasonable system I would say. I will just focus on those that I deem trustable and semi-focus on those that are not really truly trustable yet.

Main focus: Neobux! Yes, just go search around a bit and most every place will tell you that Neobux is da bomb! People have retired off the earnings of Neobux and are now multimillionaires!!! Well, okay, I was exaggerating, but the potential earnings from this is no lie. I have seen people cash out $600USD in one shot and I think I heard that one person cashed out $5000USD the other day. It's bloody insane.

I'm, btw, am at $0.415USD. Yes, 41.5 cents. It's just sad. I was previously at about 3 or 4 dollars, but I used the money to get more referrals and stuff. I'm earning about a average of 10 cents per day more of less, so in a month I should get over 3 dollars. Someone say filthy rich?

That's basically the only one I plan on focusing on, the others are not confirmed their legitimacy but I will be working on them nonetheless. They are in no particular order:

Onbux:

Onbux appears to be good. I haven't seen anyone talk bad about it yet, only thing is that someone said that it looks too similar to a PTC site that went 'bad' previously, so dunno if it will go the same way.

LinkGrand:

Started LinkGrand today. Kinda sad actually the ads. Only two to click only. So I got only $0.006USD.

Wordlinx:

Also started this today. Also equally sad. Only clicked two links as well. Payoff a bit better though, $0.02USD. =)

This is not a PTC site per say, but a traffic earner site. There's a lot to say about this because you earn credits which are then supposed to be used to bring traffic to your site. DO NOT USE THIS TO BRING TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG THAT HAS ADVERTS!!! At least not if you have Nuffnang and/or Google Adsense. I mainly used it for... well... nothing. Lol. Only reason this is here is because it's the main reason I'm blogging now. I have clicked like the links to see the sites about 7000 times since I joined. I stopped like 3 months in between I think. And I started it up again two days ago, I have clicked I think about 2000 times. About 500-700 per day so far. It's damn idiotic, yet I can't seem to stop myself. Lol.

The reason I did that, was because with every 1000 clicks, you get $0.30USD. It's really not much, but hell, I just like seeing my account go up 30 cents everytime I get to the 1k. Additionally, for the first 100 clicks of every day, every 25 clicks you get a bonus which may hand out like 1 cent or 2 cents or 10 cents. So ultimately, you can get quite some money out of this as long as you click like about 100 a day.

So anyway, that's basically my day for the past day or two. I've been clicking, clicking and clicking. I think I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Hahaha.

I hope that if you got here, you are suitably intrigued by the potential that actually exists here. Neobux especially. There is a potential there, I know of a Malaysian who is cashing out %10USD++ weekly. It isn't really much, but consider it like your gas money for the week, is that not cool?

So if you're interested, click on the banners above and click away! You will need patience though, so do know what you have to do. Patience and diligence is the most important thing if you hope to get something out of this.

I highly suggest Neobux if you wanna start off on this. Anything else is up in the air, but just be careful and you will go no wrong.

Feel free to bug me if you wanna discuss more btw. Haha. I'm no expert, but I have been reading up on this for a while, so... yeah. On the other hand, if you're a pro and you have advice for me. PLEASE!!! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!!

(Pic credit @mferguson26)

Ultimately, don't think this is a way to get money for free without doing anything. There truly is no such thing in this world. Consider it a way to get supplementary income if you will, but not as a primary income. ^^

Okay, that was long. Lol.

Other stuff:

Something I did for the very first time in the world!!!

Bowling! I SUCK AT IT! HAHAHAHAHA! Although, I have beginner's luck, first time I ever threw the ball, I hit a strike! I was over the moon with that. But after that, the following racks I was throwing blank after blank. It was quite a humbling. Lol.

Something else I also did for the very first time.

Played Final Fantasy XIII! For that matter, it was the first time I actually played a PS3 anyway. I had played XBOX360 in the display stands in stores, but not a PS3. It was cool, I wish I could get to play it more. *sigh*

Saw this:

Skyline. Love the trailer. Don't really like the concept. I think it'll scare me. Haha.

Anyway, that's it! I'm out peeps! XD

(Very long post, I may shorten it and repost as a new post later... lol)

~ Cassettes ~

2010-08-17T02:19:00.000+08:00

First off, let's start off with a nice picture. XD

A flower from the... plant... thingy (Shit, I can't remember it's name...) outside my house. Zzz... what was it called dammit... ahhhh...

Anyway, on to topic.

I was rummaging around my room and I found something... let's say cool... haha...

I used to buy lots and lots of cassettes apparently. Haha. Showing a few here that I kinda care about...

M2M! Lol. I care about this cause I remember this as a birthday gift from my parents. Haha. I used to be crazy over them. Till they broke up and now Marit is singing some folksy songsy songs up in... Europe somewhere... I think... and Marion is doing some pop songs somewhere if I'm not mistaken. Dunno what they're doing now... haha...

Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within cassettes. I like these cause I even have the novelizations of the movies. So it's a set you could say. Although I should've gotten the Spiderman 3 cassette as well to complete the thing, but they don't make cassettes no more. =(

I even have all the Linkin Park cassettes. Well, not all, I don't have Minutes to Midnight and I think missing one other, but I have Hybrid Theory, Hybrid Theory (Special Edition), Reanimation and Meteora. Still love the Reanimation cover and songs actually. I should find a way to get that to play... or find a digital version of the album. Lol.

Anyway, I say it's cool, because recently I came upon this:

Girls' Generation the album cassette. It sold on ebay for like 500USD!!! It's madness! I wish I could get it!

Anyway, I do have three boxes of cassettes. Anyone thinks they can be sold for lots of moolah?

No? Hahaha.

Other stuff:

I love love love and kinda slightly hate this cover.

I love it because frankly, all the girls on the bottom row and Tiffany looks elegant, sexy and playful as hell. Tiffany looks demure and Jessica is especially WOW! Just look at her and I go WOWEE!

I hate it cause Sunny looks like she's in a grandma suit and why is she acting all fierce? Taeyeon looks okay, but the dress seems a bit weird to me. This kinda sucks cause Sunny is my fav member, but overall, I still think this is a swell cover. Haha.

~ Battlecruiser Operational ~

2010-08-11T03:03:00.000+08:00

You know, everytime I'm out and about the area, I see something and I think, "huh, that's something nice that I can blog about" and I tuck it away safely somewhere in the recesses of my mind so that I can blog about it later.

But apparently the recesses of my mind is so deep I can't find what it is I wanna blog about when I get in front of a computer.

My only recollection of one of the things I wanted to talk about was duets. But I can't remember exactly what that is now. ~.~

Anyway, since I haven't been updating this for a while, I figured I'll just briefly speak about some stuff I've been looking at and what not.

First of all, I played my first ever Starcraft 2 Multiplayer match!!!

I was horrible!!! Absolutely noobish!!! I had no idea what to do and no idea how to attack the fella!!! I have watched numerous matches of pros and thought I could maybe replicate some of their builds, but really, even before doing any of that, I've gotta learn how to actually play the game first. Some tutorials just don't tell you the basics. Like, when do you build a supply depot? How many SCVs are enough (Although from what I see, SCVs should always be constantly built)? When do you attack all that sort of basic things.

I did however, learn one thing from all the matches I played, the need to expand. That was the one thing I did right, although if he did choose to attack any of my expansions, I would've died. But he played one base, and did not expand till much much later in the game. How much later? When I had mined out the gold and was expanding to 3 other different places. :P

But still, my problem then was that I had no idea how to break him. He was turtling and my Marine Maurauder ball was just getting wasted by his Siege Tanks. So I did the only thing I could think of. Battlecruisers!!! XD

I love the Battlecruiser btw. It looks just epic. Anyway, when my Battlecruisers appeared in his base, he just gave up and gg'ed. So I did win my first ever SC2 multiplayer match!!! Which is awesome, but it took me an hour or more. Which is just... bad... hahaha...

My luck was just good cause I was playing someone who was just worse than me. When he was trying to expand I even managed to kill his SCV to delay it, TWICE! My main problem in the entire match is keeping up my macro. I had like 10k worth of minerals and I had no idea what to do with it.

Ultimately, this is a lot of text for a very very very noobish match, but frankly, it was hella fun! I would love to play more, but my seven free hours are almost up. So I dunno if I will buy the game or not. I mean with my noobish level, why bother buying the game to get humiliated day after day?

Anyway, that's just one thing, some other things I did:

Watched The Last Airbender

I personally think the story is good, it has potential. The problem is just everything else. I mean the acting was just... urgh... and the fight scenes were so god damn slow, I even felt that the camera was moving slowly just to torture me. I may get into this in a later post, but I think I'll just leave this at... well, this.

Read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol

It's... fine. I just think it took me a while to get into it. There was nothing that captivating about it as in his other books, but I think it's a bit of a welcome change. His other books all basically have the same formula, so it becomes a bit predictable, so a book of his that doesn't take the same route is welcome.

And the ending parts does get much more intense and interesting. Although it also did get predictable also. Soooo... it's good, just maybe I'm reading too many of his books.

Started up a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon.

Mainly cause... well... I also dunno why. I just suddenly thought of it and just started watching it.

Maybe it's cause I was thinking of the "Once More, With Feeling" episode. It was quite an awesome episode. Haha.

Anyway, that's it for now. Maybe I'll bring a notebook around with me next time to jot down what to blog about when it hits me. Haha.

~ 3 Years and counting ~

2010-08-05T00:59:00.000+08:00

HAPPY 3rd Anniversary!!!

~ Twist and Turns ~

2010-08-02T01:41:00.000+08:00

My life past few days was quite a bit messed up. Mainly cause I fell sick.

Initially the plan on the 31st was for me to go up and go to MTV World Stage. Yeah, right? Fun right? Turns out I cannot make it because I was so bloody weak and didn't really think I could take standing there for 2 hours or so (Which turned out to be much much more than 2 hours...).

Then after that was the release of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, which teases me to no end with it's crisp graphics and awesome gameplay and is just mocking me by me having no way to buy it... right now... ~.~

And then I lost the Kenwooi contest. Which is unimaginable btw. I demand a recount! How can my bribe not work? :P

Oh, and additionally I couldn't go out with my friends also cause I was playing the sick idiot at home. So... yeah...

Getting sick used to be a simpler thing I think. When I was sick, I stayed home, watched TV and slept. But these days, getting sick is making me miss out seeing Wonder Girls (Let's be honest, I seriously only cared about seeing them anyway, although I hear Tokio Hotel rocked it though, that would've been interesting to see), miss seeing my friends and being unable to actually do many other things I actually wanna do. ~.~

So that's basically it for my weekend. Probably a bad weekend in a very long time. But hey, we roll with the punches and we move on. ^____^

Other Stuff:

The more I look at it, the more I feel like I wanna go and find 4minute on the 13th. Maybe even go and do the airport thing. I mean, why the hell not right?? Haha.

Speaking of which:

4minute - Goodbye

Good song. I like. 4minute is seriously damn bloody awesome. I keep saying that they are the only kpop group at the moment that is seriously not annoying me, and it remains true till now. Everything they've come out with so far has been awesome and not at all annoying.

Davichi - From Me To You

Nice song also... lol... saw this cause of 8TVNiteLive. Hahaha.

KARA - Mister

The full MV. XD

Dexter - Season 5 Promo (You do not want to watch this unless you don't care about spoilers or if you have already finished season 4 of Dexter)

Looks like it's going to be another interesting season in Dexter. You've gotta give them credit for always managing to make things interesting in this show.

~ Wings of Liberty ~

2010-07-31T23:48:00.000+08:00

I wish I could buy it right now dammit... ><

Additionally, I couldn't help it and went and read up the entire story already. So I already know what happens at the end. Kinda contradictory to what I normally do, but hey, who cares? Just cause I know the story doesn't mean I don't want to play it anymore. XD

In fact I wanna learn more of the multiplayer part. I am really itching to try out the baneling bust, four gate, MMM and a whole lot of other strats I hope to study and try out one of these fine days... ^^;

For now, I have to settle with just watching Husky and HD provide me awesome awesome shoutcasts and simple videos tutorials to tide me over... thank god for YouTube. XD

~ Of all the dang-nabbing-money-grubbing Fools ~

2010-07-25T21:35:00.000+08:00

I went to the casino yesterday...

...

Well, I didn't actually lose a lot. Haha. But then when you're inside of a casino and when you're outside of a casino, you actually do value money differently. 50 dollars inside a casino is actually nothing while outside, you can't imagine the things I can do with 50 dollars.

And 50 dollars is seriously nothing inside. I see people there playing by 500 dollars and they never actually stop. It's insane!!!

On the other hand though, I can now actually say I have entered and played in a casino before, while last time I could only say I've been into a casino before.

This one in particular. I've also been to this one...

Which I also went to to attend the Wonder Girl's showcase at the time (If interested, it's here, I think I've probably self promoted this post on this blog the most times ever... I kinda do love it... :P).

Anyway, on my casino trip, ultimately we made the trip because finally, all three of us (My brothers and I) could actually enter the casino. So we made a trip of it to see what was so exciting to travel to a place to give away our money.

I mean think about it. We were spending money, to get a place, where they will just take our money willy-nilly and we were happy and excited about it. Isn't that just weird?

And people there get so excited over the smallest things. You keep hearing people yell "PICTURE!! PICTURE!!". Lol...

My brothers and I though, ultimately decided to just stick to a game we understood, well, roughly anyway. Blackjack! I got on to such an awesome winning streak that we won back our capital at the time and when I started to lose, we got up and left the table. I think that was our best move at the time. I was playing (COO), my brother took the winnings (CFO) and my other brother gave advice on how to play (CEO). :P

But that was the only good part of the gambling day though, before that we lost our money without any particular reason and after that we tried again and just lost what was left of our allocated money. All in all, we came out of there with a 250 dollar deficit. Which, while inside the casino, didn't really feel like much, but when you come out, you realize, "EH! I lost 250 dollars!!!???"

Even with all that though, I would actually go again. Stick to our strategy and how can we lose!? Well, actually, whenever you go to a casino, you have to be prepared to lose, so yeah. I would go again next time cause there's just something about it that's actually fun, potentially addictive. Hahaha.

Some other stuff:

I almost, ALMOST, got to go and see these three pretty ladies.

Before their mini showcase was cancelled. God dammit... ~.~

~ My Birthday Celebration Plan for Ken Wooi ~

2010-07-24T02:15:00.001+08:00

First off, sorry for keeping it so late. I kinda was playing around with the idea of what to do, and then I reread the thing and I realized that it needed to be realistic. Soooo... I gave up on that idea and thought of just going for something simpler...

Which is to hire a professional party planning company!!!

Yes, so I'll leave all the work to them and I'll just collect my free ipod from Kenwooi...

*whisper whisper mumble mumble* ... what do you mean I can't do that?

*whisper whisper mumble mumble* ... so apparently I have to plan it myself... who knew?

Anyway, I had a whole elaborate make-no-sense plan thought out, but it, in short, made no sense. So I'm going for simplicity.

First off, to truly enjoy this holy day, we will have to distract Ken's gf...

With another Ken. I doubt it'll be hard. We don't actually need to do this, I just felt like slipping that picture in. :P

So anyway, the idea is just to travel and par-tay!!! Cause that's the basic ideas I get from your blog most of the time. (Besides the humor and the ham-sap-ness... :P)

So morning, we go driving underwater!!!

And party underwater!!!

But with party and water, it can never be complete without these can it?

Well, unless everyone's so uptight about it that they just stand there and refuse to party...

That'll just be awkward...

Or even worse, some people go and emo in a corner...

But I'm certain that people will party lar... or at least, have a cup of tea.

And then after we are back on dry land... I figured we should go for a fashion show!!!

Which, why would a straight guy go for a fashion show right? But why not!?

I mean seriously! WHY NOT!? XD (For more pictures btw: here)

Anyway, by then it should be night, so we can then go and party like there's no tomorrow!!!

Ignore the name on the cake... lol...

With special guests...

And more than one Princess Leia... cause, well, why not... :P

And the person of the day!!!

Making a grand entrance!!!

And mainly just have cocktail drinks and party till the sun goes... down... then up... again... yes... I have no sense of time... XD

So anyway, that's the gist of the plan. Guest list is to be decided, but imagine if we get all the people you've seen in the post and your friends and family and people you never met before, I think it'll be a damn bloody sweet party... :P

So to end this, I hope this was realistic enough of a plan, and that it was suitably entertaining enough, AND most importantly, that you have a hell of a good time on the 31st July! XD

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY! (In advance... :P)

And btw Ken...

You have your head on MY suit of armor. :P

PS: I also have planned extensively for your security...

I mean you need security right? A famous blogger like you... :P

***END OF PLANNING STAGE***

Requirements:

Contest details here: Plan Ken Wooi's bday party and win an IPOD!!!

Gogo... I know not much time left, but just go and plan a tea party or something and throw in dragons... it'll be fun!!! XD

I can't believe how hard it was to type this. Normally I don't post all the hamsap photos willy nilly on here. But since I'm trying to bribe my way to a free ipod, I guess it's worth it. :P

And ultimately, it was fun!!! I can say thought that the plan kept changing as when I saw a new picture I just have to use, I just threw in in there somehow. Hahaha.

Anyway, that's my long-prepared-then-scrapped-and-then-last-minute-typed entry for your contest. Haha. I hope that even if it doesn't win (Which, I don't really think the plan is very realistic or very fun...) I hope at least it entertained you a bit... XD

All in all, my best for your birthday on the 31st, and I'm really sorry for doing this so late. But better late than never right? ^^;

And one last time, HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEN WOOI!!! XDXDXD

~ Shoutout!!! ~

2010-07-21T20:53:00.000+08:00

Doing this formally for the first time. Not sure why. But I just felt like it. Hahaha.

1. To Gail. I will get you that thank you card. Just wait lar. Haha. I've been planning on doing it yesterday or today, but people called me up to go for interview, then cancelled on me, then rescheduled me again. Lol. I can only promise to get to it before the end of this month (I actually hope to finish it by this week though). But anyway, just to say thanks. And shoutout. Lol. And if anyone interested, go here to read her blog: A Space of My Own.

2. Kenwooi. Lol. I'm doing a shoutout to you cause you're one of the people that do actually comment in my posts. So thanks! And I've been concocting ideas for your contest. So sorry that it's slow, but read the first shoutout to know why lar. I also will try to get it out before this week's end. Or at the very least, before the deadline. XD Anyway, if anyone interested, his blog is here: kenwooi. Some really funny posts and he has a really hot girlfriend. :P

Not sure if they will ever read this. But hey, might as well lar. Lol.

My offer for the CD & DVD & note still stands btw, changing the rules to now just ask me. Read the end of this post for details. Lol. But you might wanna wait for me to get my card out to Gail before asking for it. Since I still cannot be fully trusted yet anyway. Hahaha.

Some other stuff:

I've been spamming this:

Super Junior - No Other

I just think it's a damn cool song. Haha. At the very least, I think it's a much better song than Bonamana, which I do not get. Haha.

Anyway, that's about it. Besides the fact that you would think an unemployed person would be free right? Apparently that's not true. I've never felt more swamped or busy. Haihz... being an 'adult' kinda sucks. Besides the fun parts... that is... lol.

~ Mister ~

2010-07-19T02:57:00.000+08:00

KARA - Mister

I have been waiting for this for quite some time. Seriously, this is the song that put KARA on the map! They did get some pretty good promotion with their previous songs (Pretty Girl & Honey), but Mister with the stupidly awesome butt dance just threw their popularity into overdrive. XD

On some news, I'm going down to Singapore again, this time hoping to land myself a job. Haihz. I hope someone hires me faster. I mean come one. Am I that unhireable? (I don't think that's a word... hahaha)

So... that's all I gotta say for this post. Haha. See ya down under!

~ Bohemian Rhapsody ~

2010-07-16T23:49:00.000+08:00

Look at Jessi and all his Vocal Adrenaline mates... lol...

I was listening to this the whole day today

Glee Version - Bohemian Rhapsody

I actually thought it was an opera song or something. I mean it sure sounds like one. Then I realized it was actually a song by Queen.

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Although when I listened to the original, I was actually quite bored. Is it just me or are old classics very slow in tempo? Look at another Glee remake, Journey's Don't Stop Believing and Glee's version. It feels so damn slow. Haha.

But then you've gotta give them credit. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't get to listen to some really awesome performances now. And you also gotta give it to Glee for making old songs sound new. XD

One other stuff, my Fate of the Jedi ALL HARDCOVER collection... so far...

Awesome right? Right? I took this picture today after wrapping all of my books. Hardcover books are a bitch to wrap. Seriously.

~ The doings of a jobless insomniac ~

2010-07-14T03:37:00.000+08:00

So I'm jobless. I have a degree, with honours no less (3rd Class, I'm not that good :P), and I'm jobless.

Oh yippie yay!

Partly my fault, cause I'm reluctant to get off my ass and be more proactive in sending out resumes. I just did send out 4 or 5 more just now, and have plans to send out 4 or 5 more tomorrow. So I guess that's reasonably okay. I did also sent out 4 or 5 more last week. So I guess in that respect I'm quite well covered. I just now need to wait to get someone to hire me dammit.

I'm getting a bit desperate to find a job actually. You may not see me say it out loud, but I do kinda want to get a job like, now. Mainly cause I need money. You see, I took money from my parents to pay for a flight to Thailand, which now, is basically money down the drain. It may seem like I don't really care about that, but I do so want to get some money so that I can at least reimburse my parents for that RM500 or so. All the other expenses for that trip I can get back, it's only the stupid flight that is considered a waste and it's kinda eating me up inside.

Besides that reason, I also do need to money to kinda plan for a potential Taiwan trip. I say potential because I dunno if I will be going yet. It's ironic that my plans kinda seem to always lead me to places I've already been. I've been to Thailand and Taiwan. And I've planned an unsuccessful trip to Thailand and I'm thinking of a trip to Taiwan. :/

Additionally, I need the money so that I can buy stuff. I mean ultimately, money does make the world go round. ^^

Other reasons I need the job though, is so that I will not forget all the stupid stuff I've learnt in Uni so far. It seems kinda a waste to spend all that time studying something and not go into a field which actually requires me to use it no?

I may talk about how I regret not standing up for myself for my likes and dislikes or having more drive to direct my own life, but that will not be this post.

It's 3.46am at the moment. I don't really feel sleepy though. Maybe it's cause of the World Cup euphoria.

Spain won btw. XD

People keep saying that the match was bad, very unsportsmanlike, a scrappy affair, etc. etc. I personally thought it was great.

The football wasn't the best, that I admit. I mean, Holland seemed to have only thought of one way to handle Spain and that was to foul them everytime they got the ball. But I loved the match because it was tense like hell. I mean I was almost on the edge of my seat. It was almost on the verge of being stressful as everytime one side got near the net on the other side it was a question of how much damage they could do.

It wasn't the best match I've seen, but I was actually watching history in the making. I was actually watching the match where the 8th country will win the World Cup! It was kinda mind blowing if you ask me.

So besides my nonesense rambling on the World Cup, I spend most of my day reading this today...

Brisingr

Christopher Paolini's Brisingr. Third book in the Inheritance Cycle.

I didn't buy this when it first came out because I did get tired of the Inheritance Trilogy (It was a trilogy at the time) and I wanted to give up on it. But I saw this book for only SGD$8 in Singapore and I just had to get it. I mean it was so cheap, it was basically a bargain.

And I had to quickly read it so that I didn't have to lug it back and forth with me from Malaysia and Singapore. I have to say though, that I did actually enjoy it. Some parts did bore me especially when it was characters that I didn't really care for, but the other parts were thoroughly entertaining.

And I do see why people say it's a blatant rip-off of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I would also like to add in another, which is Harry Potter. Reading this book felt like I was reading the best of all three of those highly regarded series. I guess it's a compliment as well an insult at the same time. Haha.

But it was thoroughly entertaining. I will probably get the fourth book now, but I would probably wait till it was at cheap prices as I did with Brisingr. XD

Anyway, last thing I wanna say before I go:

I'm in love love love, I'm in loovee... :P

So okay, just joking. But she sure looks cute. Hahaha. I stumbled upon her by watching Husky's videos, sooo... yea... :P

Anyway, that'll all for today. I feel like I have a lot of other things to talk about but I can't seem to remember it and seriously anyway, who do you think is gonna read up to this point anyway? :P

If you did, leave me a comment and I will send you something. I'm thinking a CD, maybe a collector card or just a thank you note. I do have the CD and the cards btw, I just dunno if you want it. HAHAHA. Anyway, first three people to comment and say if you want the CD, card/s or thank you note will get it. I swear it on Aiur. :P

*Note: If you really did ask me for it, do let me know how I can contact you so that I can send it out. I'm deadly serious. Lol.*

~ Super 8 & Inception ~

2010-07-11T03:05:00.000+08:00

Super 8

Give it up to J.J Abhrams to churn out movies/trailers/series that are so intriguing people just have to go and watch them. :P

As usual, no idea what this show is about, but hey, I thoroughly enjoyed Cloverfield, even though I normally hate those sort of monster/horror movies, so I'm hoping this movie will bode well for me too.

Got a whole load of viral marketing as well, I just checked out some of it and looks interesting, even if it doesn't make much sense yet. I'll look at it again maybe when I've got time later. XD

Anyway, before that, next week, INCEPTION!!!

I tried to check out when GSC would be showing it, but the only two movies in their website listed for Dataran Pahlawan is Triple Tap and ZOO. What gives?

~ Inception ~

2010-07-06T23:04:00.001+08:00

Inception

Trailer #1

Trailer #3

Character Trailer

Looks bloody awesome!!!

Love the lines also.

I made a mistake though, I got so psyched about this movie that I went and read up a lot about it and watched all the trailers and TV shorts that I think I may be underwhelmed when I see the actual movie. >.<

Still, there's always hope. It's Christopher Nolan after all and with that stunning cast (Leonardo DiCaprio, Ken Watanabe, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy, Tom Berenger, Dileep Rao and Michael Caine) it's looks like it's going to be awe-some!!!

~ Google Background Image ~

2010-07-06T17:33:00.000+08:00

I was just randomly surfing around and when I opened a new window of Google Chrome, I noticed some small words on the bottom left hand side of the browser:

Huh interesting no? So I tried it out.

Wonder Girls from the Singapore Showcase

Sooyoung from the SEOUL video

Suju and SNSD also from the SEOUL video

Alodia and Ashley from the Mascot Parade

So... I actually dunno which one to choose... in the end, I went with this...

:P

Cause really, having so many colors on the background is just distracting to me. Imagine if I go to google and I want to find something, I see the picture and I totally blank out on what I want to search. Hehe.

Besides, I like the simplest of things, so figures I should just stick with the simple things. ^^

~ Mascot Parade ~

2010-07-04T20:34:00.000+08:00

This is a quick post to just talk about the Mascot Parade that I went to a few days ago. I did not attend the whole thing as I wasn't really 100% interested in the whole event, but I saw that there were going to be special guests there and I figured I've got the time, so why not drop by and see:

Alodia and Ashley!!! XD

Some of you may know them as Ani-mates on Astro's channel 715 or better known as Animax.

Alodia
Ashley

Or you could just otherwise know them as two very pretty looking girls. Pictures above are taken from their respective deviant art sites: Alodia's DA, Ashley's DA.

Anyway, I figured I'll just go around and see if I can get a glimpse of them. I didn't actually plan on going to all the events and stuff, but I did catch the cosplay contest results announcement thingy.

Cactuar!!! Damn bloody cute leh this idiotic cactus!!!

Some Monster Hunter... thingy. I dunno what he's supposed to be.

Predator! Do Predators roar? This one kept roaring. I don't know if they roar... :P

War Machine! Not the best War Machine I've seen, but I guess it's fine.

Some warlock and mage or something. From WOW. He was going on and on and on about how he will dismember our limbs and stuff. It was really quite boring. :P

Group photo... ^^

My mistake throughout this entire thing so far was that I did not realize that Alodia and Ashley were the judges of the competition. So they were actually sitting like 2 meters away from me on my right. It was halfway through the competition thingy that I realized they were there and by then it was kinda late to move to get a good picture of them anyway.

But then they did go up on stage to give the prizes away.

Ashley hugging the cactus. I also wanna hug!!! The cactus... that is... :P

Looking so cute and demure. I have no idea who she is cosplaying though. If anyone knows, help me out. XD

ROARRRRR!!!

Suck it Iron Man!

Anyway, after all that, they all went away to somewhere, I initially didn't feel like following, but in the end, it was like what the heck, just follow lar... since I did that I did get some more pictures. They went to that place so that the fans could take pictures or something I guess.

So that's that. My pictures are of really lousy quality though, so sorry for that. Although now I do realize why all the people all around me had big ass cameras. I think I now kinda see the appeal in a DSLR. Although I'm not really sure I know how to use it effectively. Haha.

Cool thing about that day was that I did get to see Alodia and Ashley. Haha. It was kinda cool to see them up close. Maybe taking a picture with them would've been more awesome, but they looked kinda busy and who wants to spoil a beautiful picture by putting me in it? :P

All pictures I deem nice enough to put up here in Facebook: Mascot Parade Album

~ Friendship ~

2010-07-04T20:13:00.000+08:00

Friendship is just such a weird thing.

Recently I've been feeling that I've been having a very weird friendship with this friend of which I've just met. I just find the relationship very weird and awkward sometimes.

But anyway, it's something I guess I have to work on or something. Haihz.

Anyway, maybe that's why I prefer to go out and do things on my own. It's easier and I can just do what I want when I want. XD

*This post has been majorly edited, just in case anyone was wondering... :P*

~ Hiding ~

2010-07-03T12:33:00.000+08:00

"You can live a million years and never have lived at all"

Wheee... I kinda like that quote, not that I follow it, but I just like it. I do get the feeling that I've been hiding a lot these days. Hiding from things that I ought to get done, hiding from people I have to talk to, hiding just, in general.

Actually, if you think about it, I have been hiding most of my life, with a brief sojourn in the 2004-2006 years. It's just how I am though. I can't really say I hate my life all that much, it's been good. I just wish sometimes that I could get some of the things I'm yearning for. Material and non-material goods included in that.

You ever had a question you knew the answer to, yet you prefer to pretend you don't understand the question so that you don't have to face the fact that you already know the answer? That's how I feel most of the days when I think about what I have to do. And it scared the shit outta me.

Anyway, to keep this short and not the long pointless essay that was my previous post, I'll like to get on to something fun that I may be going to afterwards:

The actual event itself may already be starting, I just got some tweets from them that they're heading there now I think, so I still dunno what I'm going to do. Hahaha.

~ Humility & Influence ~

2010-07-03T02:51:00.001+08:00

There is no humility left in this world. Everyone around me acts like a jackass all the time.

I'm exaggerating of course. But I find that it's becoming a bigger and bigger problem. For instance, just because you think you're right doesn't mean you automatically are. If you are right, you are right, you need not have to rub everyone's nose in it or keep repeating to everyone that you are right. Ultimately, if you actually are right, people will acknowledge you are right and that's that.

And there's nothing all that glamorous about being right anyway. People get things wrong all the time and still live happy lives.

Thing with these people, is that they don't actually care about being a jackass. What's important to them is that they are right and that everyone else knows it. They don't give a damn about how irritating they are to other people or anything else.

I wanna blame this on the Americans. I understand that pride is an important thing to them and I don't blame them, one's own pride should never be compromised. Thing with the Americans is that they have pride, but (Most of them) they can and will willingly admit that they are wrong when they have been proven wrong.

I believe that the people on this side of the Earth have inherited the unwilling to be wrong part, but forgotten to inherit the admit their own wrongs part.

So that makes the people on this side of the Earth bigger jackasses than the people on their side of the Earth.

I never really thought of it much, but recently I've been thinking that the Americans have been a very bad influence on the Asian culture. Don't get me wrong, I think America is an amazing country. I watch a lot of their shows, I listen to (quite) a lot of their music and I follow a lot of their news. I just think the people here have compromised what makes Asia unique to copy the Americans.

Look at the bad side of things, America has given us McDonalds, KFC and all sorts of fattening food. They have taught us that it's okay to sleep around indiscriminately. They have shown us that what race you are determines what social standing you'll be in. They have liberally spread the use of the F word around (That may not all be their fault though, I think Europe spread that more than America).

As far as I've seen, Asians as a whole show that they're basically humble people. They may be mavericks, they may be geniuses, they may be captains of industries, they say what they want, but they have always been humble.

Till now, that is.

I'm not covering all and every Asian under the same standing, I'm sure they are many of you out there who are not jackasses and treat people fairly. I just think that we are getting thoroughly influenced by a culture that is not necessarily better than our own.

I do not say that I have not been influenced. I do not know anything about my supposedly mother-mother country (China, duh), but that's because I don't really think I'm a China Chinese. I think that's important in a way.

I have always thought my location was perfect in the sense that I was in the middle of everything. I watch shows from the West, I listen to music from the East. I read the books of the West, I attend the concerts of the East. All considered, I think I'm getting almost the best of both world.

But where will our own culture evolve? Are we so susceptible to influence that we cannot define what makes us us? Pro-lefties will scoff at those that listen to cheesy Kpop. Pro-righties will shake their heads at the other side's heavy metal. Do we have to divide our loyalties to the East and the West? Can we not form our own brand? The absolute center of influence and yet no-influence?

I think we've got the influence part absolutely pat down. The issue is that we can't come up with something that others want. Must we venture out to either side to make it big?

A lot of pointless ramblings in this post. Haha. I just got on a high and I was recently irritated by something, so that brought on the "humility" lecture, but as I was typing I thought of what caused it and I ultimately came to the conclusion that it was the influence of the West. Haha.

Anyway, I hope this made sense. And I thank you for reading this far. If you did, I'm sure you have an opinion, so voice it out to me. Maybe we can have a meaningful discussion about it. Hahaha.

Some other stuff:
SMTOWN 2010 Tour

Whoo... cool... if only I could go. They got BoA, Max, U-know, Kangta, Suju, SNSD, SHINee, f(x), Zhang LiYin. Sounds like an awesome lineup. Haha.

And Netherlands beat Brazil! Haha. That was cool. I would talk about it more, but I don't really care all that much. I would say though, I love Netherlands, I keep saying this over and over, but I was thoroughly impressed by their match with France like years and years ago and since then, I loved watching them play. XD

I wish I could've watched it though. I went to a kopitiam nearby hoping to be able to sit down and watch it, but all the tables were filled AND there was like hundreds of people standing around the sidewalk, the small slope at the side all staring like zombies at the small TV. It wasn't even a projector or something, it was a small LCD (Or Plasma) TV. I couldn't even see the score from where I was standing! In the end I tapau'ed my food back and came home to eat, it was simpler and while I DO wish I could've watched it, I'm perfectly fine having not watched it. Lol.

A very wordy post, lol. I wish I could've taken a picture of all the zombies watching the screen though, that would make a fun conversation. XD

Son Dam Bi - Can't See You

I just listened to the first verse and I instantly liked it! At least someone from Pledis is doing something right. XD

Can't wait for this to hit. I think it's going to be awesome. May not become a very big hit, because let's face it, all the hits are all the super catchy super fast super autotuned songs, but hey, I always love a slow song.

And it's Son Dam Bi! Son Dam Bi people! Rejoice! XD

Final Fantasy XIV: Here

Can't bloody load the embed link for some reason.

Anyway, I haven't even played FFX and they're coming out with FFIV.

So, okay, it's kinda my own fault for not playing FFX, but then I can't keep up! Ultimately I have to give something up and apparently that thing is gaming.

The only game I've been constantly playing these days is L4D and L4D2. And it's kinda awesome that I find myself alternating between the two games. L4D2 has a lot of very cool things that are not in L4D but yet the gameplay between the two games is the same! Only that L4D2 provides more fun! I initially thought I wouldn't use the melee weapons much, but now I constantly find myself sticking to melee weapons. Especially when I find a katana or machete.

Anyway, back to the FF series. I do ultimately want to play them (X to XIII) but I dunno when that'll be. And by the time I get there, I'm not sure if they'll hold my attention. So I guess I'll see. And I have been more privy towards first person shooters these days.

I can't believe I'm loving L4D and L4D2 this much though. From a person who got headaches playing CS, that's a high compliment. ^^

I think the appeal for me is that they play relatively short. I tried a run through where I just moved quickly, I finished a stage in 30 minutes. I love that I can finish a stage in 30 minutes. XD

The L4D2 stage Hard Rain is a bitch and yet oh so damn cool. I was totally freaked when they sent a Tank at me with Witches all around and with the storm directly storming over my head. It was terrifying and oddly satisfying at the same time. XD

~ Firefly & Looking at girls ~

2010-06-30T03:26:00.001+08:00

First off, I really really prefer this version compared to the original.

Sam Tsui - Firefly

Although given, the original also isn't bad, I just think this version is much much better. The guy singing the song in the video I linked above is Sam Tsui. He works a lot with his friend Kurt Schneider. You can find more of their work on the YouTube account of the video above. Quite a lot of cool stuff.

Anyway, just to say, I know I haven't been updating a lot these days, but it seems like everytime I sit down and think about updating, I really can't think of what to update. Yes, my life is that boring.

Oh, one fun thing I did today though, I went to do some survey thingy. It involved me going to Singapore General Hospital and had me choosing how much I would pay to look at pictures of girls.

The survey was set up so that there were two choices, each choice was accompanied by a star rating of the picture of the girl and the cost it would cost for me to see the picture. I essentially had to measure the cost and the rating and choose which girl I wanted to see.

Some choices were easy, like when I had to choose between one star and five stars and the cost was one cents and two cents respectively. Others were harder, like if I had to choose between four stars and five stars and the cost of the five star picture was way higher than the four star picture. Do I pay more to see a one-star better picture or go low and see a relatively high rating picture?

I say that like it involves a lot of thinking and while it kinda does, the point that I want to make here is that I went to do a paid survey where I got to do nothing but just look at pictures of girls. ^^;

Oh, and I got to rate the pictures at the end. I think that's how they determine the star rating. Some people have got weird perception of beauty. Some three star pictures looked better to me than the four star ones. One star and five star though, were mostly spot on.

Anyway, I wish I could just sit down and look at girls all day and get paid for it. Would be a fun job no? XD

~ Waka Waka Eh Eh ~

2010-06-23T02:07:00.000+08:00

Shakira - Waka Waka

Stupid song got stuck in my head for the past few days. Also partly due to the fact that my brothers and I were just randomly singing the song on and off. I is a catchy song anyway, so nothing wrong with it being stuck in my head. Lol. Plus, Shakira looks much better than in She Wolf (I hated that song and video)

I didn't actually post anything on the World Cup yet actually. One reason is because, I don't really care all that much. Another reason is that I only have a few goals to achieve concerning this World Cup:

1. Watch the first, semi-finals and finals at least.
2. Try to watch Netherlands matches.
3. ... that's about it actually. Lol.

If I were to add on any new ones, I would say watch Brazil. I was throughly impressed by their performance against Ivory Coast. Another one is Portugal, who, if you don't know yet, thrashed North Korea 7-0. That was nice to watch for me cause I think it was awesome to see Ronaldo playing so happily. Lol.

Anyway, World Cup so far has been relatively fun. All the funny teams all losing and funnier teams are all winning. :P

Stupid thing is that I don't have Astro Supersport, so I only get to see matches that are shown on RTM, which I initially thought was most of the matches, but now I see is apparently not true. I just hope I get to see the final now. That probably won't be much issue, but I have no idea where I will be when the final come around, still travelling all over the place. Sigh

And I need a job. Anyone? Graduate willing to sweep floors for food. Anyone? :P

~ Wonder Girls: Singapore Showcase ~

2010-06-19T03:24:00.000+08:00

So today's the day!

The day where I finally finally, meet one of Kpop's most popular, most successful, most enigmatic, most beautiful groups ever.

THE WONDER GIRLS!!!! XDXDXDXD

I had previously met them up close and personal the day before though, read it here if you wanna: Wonder Girls: Meet and Greet

But anyway, today's the important day. I mean I actually actually ACTUALLY get to see them perform LIVE! I mean LIVE! The connotations of this fact did not really dawn on me till I sat down and thought about it, I have actually been watching their performances for a bit, so I've seen them perform before on YouTube, through videos I downloaded or on the TV even. BUT THIS TIME I WAS GOING TO SEE IT LIVE!!! And up close too. Lol.

Anyway, I got there at 3pm, for a 7pm show. Yeah, kiasu right? Actually, the group I was supposed to go with got there at 11.30am, even more kiasu right? However, there was a group who supposedly got there at 6am. The most kiasu one I've heard is that two people actually camped outside the day before.

... really? I've heard of these things happening before, but REALLY!?

But anyway, thanks to my awesome awesome friends, I got there 'late' and still managed to get a relatively good spot, like 3 or 4 rows from the front. So it was... okay I guess. If I had wanted to I guess I could've bullied my way nearer to the front, but I wasn't really fussy. XD

The stage

Personally, I was hoping they would like show silhouettes of the girls on the 5 screens and then they can appear next to them, but I guess it wasn't that high tech of a show.

The stage was fine, just that when you're waiting to see them and they keep playing that bloody Sony Erikson ad over and over and over and over and over again, it gets irritating.

They finally make it on stage!!!

I think that's Jamie Yeo? Yea, well, didn't really matter to me at this point. On another day maybe I would've been more excited by that fact. Haha.

Wheeee...

So there was some interviewing, some talking...

Sunye is ♥♥♥ btw...

... some laughing

... some prize winning

Smile dammit!!!

... some charity giving

... then the show began!!!

Started off with 2 Different Tears!!!

2-2 too-too

Can't believe I actually saw that in person... I mean... really... I can't believe it... XDXDXD

Then they did Pussycat Dolls' Don't Cha. Initially I thought it was a weird choice, but it was hottt!!!

Yes yes, I wish my girlfriend was as hot as you... ^^;

Followed which, by So Hot!!! I just told my friends while waiting outside that my favorite song of their was So Hot!!! I was actually put on the spot, so I just blurted out any song name I could think off, but I do like So Hot, soo... it's all good!!! And I find it genius that they followed up Don't Cha with So Hot!!! XDXDXD

So Hot is a damn good song to motivate yourself if you're feeling down btw. Just my honest opinion. ^^

Love this pic. Yesterday's fav pic was the Yenny doing the 2-2 pic, this is probably my fav pic of the day. XDXD

After that short break while they showed that video of the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Rain, Crystal Kay and others congratulating them on their Nobody's success. They actually came out and performed NOBODY!!! XDXDXD

I ACTUALLY SAW NOBODY BEING PERFORMED IN FRONT OF MY EYES!!! I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT!!! XDXDXD

I want Nobody Nobody but you!!!

After which they did that "let's see which side of the audience is louder" thing before they did Tell Me! I have no pics of that because I was watching the show. Most of my shots above are actually lucky shots because I was mainly focused on the show more than I was watching what I was taking.

Anyway, after that it was adiós Singapore!!!

I missed one song btw, I think it was titled I Believe in You or something, but I'm not too sure. It was before the video of the Jonas Brothers and co. thingy. ^^

Anyway, 6 songs (I think, I hope I didn't forget any) and a quite awesomely good time. I had some problems communicating with some of the Wonderfuls there, since I'm hardly considered to be one, and still do actually, but one or two of them were nice, so it was still okay.

Some of the dance breaks were awesome as well, especiallt the Don't Cha one and I think all five girls looked fantastic!!! So Hee especially, I dunno why but I think So Hee dresses the best out of all of them. Sunye is still my absolute favorite (Notice almost all my pics has her in the middle? Although, that may be by chance more than intention), and she looks totally awesome with that hair (Normally I'll say weird, but hey, I'm on a high!).

All in all, I had a blast! And I hope they did too! I was a borderline Wonder Girls fan at best before all this, but now I think I'm gonna delve into that trap a bit deeper. They are one of the groups that keeps consistently coming to this region and I think being a bigger fan of theirs may actually pay off in one way or another.

Plus, ultimately, they are and always will be, AWESOME!!! XDXDXD

Thank you for reading, if you were bored, well, you should've known better. :P

~ Wonder Girls: Meet and Greet ~

2010-06-18T00:04:00.000+08:00

So today, I went out with the intention of meeting these five lovely ladies...

THE WONDER GIRLS!!! XDXDXD

So, yeah. XD

Ultimately, I did not expect to actually get very near to them, for one thing, I didn't really feel all that stalky or motivated to go and chase them all over the place. XD

Ye Eun: Yeah Yeah!!! XD

I decided to just go to two of the fan meetings, the one at Singtel Comcentre and the one at Plaza Singapura. It is that reason and also cause of my shitty camera skills that I have no nice pictures from the first place I went to. (I do, but the pics kinda suck... lol)

I liked my choices, but the Singtel one was kinda disappointing. The space was kinda crowded and then the people there mainly just let the staff take pictures with the girls. I mean what the heck man. ~.~

So the Singtel one was a bust in my opinion. I got the see the girls, but it wasn't much, and I got irritated by the people all around me lifting their hands up high in the air like they just didn't care, cause, well, they didn't. I couldn't really get any good shots in that meeting.

So after that they were to go to Paragon. I initially thought, hey, why not go also, but in the end I figured, neh, with the crowd all going that way, why don't I go to Plaza Singapura and wait? XD

So I actually went there and waited for an hour and a half... I actually felt a bit stupid. Haha. But anyway, the wait paid off I think. The Plaza Singapura meeting went much better, I got some good shots in and I think the girls looked fantastic! XD

I love love love So Hee's dress for some reason. And I finally get to see Sun Ye in the flesh! I love that girl! XD

So after that, I didn't actually plan on going to iluma to catch the fansigning event. I mean, I didn't get a ticket to get in, so why go right? But since I was out, and since I was already so enamored by them, I figured, hell, even if I can't get any autographs, why not just go there and see them? So I set off! I got lost even, cause I never actually went to iluma before. ^^;

This is the stage after the event, I didn't have time during the event to take many pictures. Reason is...

Cause I got into the line to meet and get their autographs!!! XDXDXD

That happened cause even though I was late, I could see there was a gathering area and there was a (VERY HEAVILY) guarded line. I was walking around for a bit looking for the optimum spot to like get good shots or maybe get to see them better a bit. It didn't really matter to me where to take the shots or see them cause I did see them quite well at Plaza Singapura, but I was just walking and surveying the area.

Then I went to see the line and, I learnt this from Randy Pausch (RIP), sometimes you just gotta ask, I asked the fella whether I still need a ticket to get in. The fella just looked at me and said sure go in. I think maybe I was looking all pathetic and such that he had to just let me in... XDXDXD

So I got into line, I was stoked, and I was bloody nervous for god knows what reason. I was looking at the 5 girls and thinking what the hell should I say! Haha. I dunno why the hell I needed to get all nervous for anyway. ~.~

Eventually, they came in, and the line started moving. I was still frantically wondering what I was supposed to say when I met them though. But I think given all the time in the world I would still probably come up with nothing. Haha. So the stupid me just basically said hello to all five without so much as a conversation. I only spoke with Yoobin a bit more cause she asked for my name. I dunno, but I feel like I was being a bit rude. I feel kinda stupid now though. Haihz. I hope they didn't really think of me that way. ~.~

So there's my name... at the top... XDXXDXD

I love it... XDXDXDXD So yeah... haha... initially I was thinking maybe I can sell it, but let's say even if my name wasn't there, I couldn't do it. This is the first time I've met and gotten an autograph from someone I actually admire or follow. So I can't do it... hahaha...

So that's my stupidly simple account. It was epically awesome, to me. It may not seem as such to you, but to me it was like my Kpop fandom was finally paying off in a way. So I'm bloody stoked. I'm hoping I get to do more things like this in the future. But I dunno if I can get to once I start working and all that. ~.~

Anyway, my last Wonder Girls related pic. I actually went and bought their album before the meetings because I was thinking what if I accidentally met them before the meetings and I had nothing for them to sign!!! That'll be a travesty! Granted, that probably wouldn't happen, but I had to be prepared. XD

Ultimately, I didn't actually need to buy the album. But hey, it's still a nice album. Nice art and photos and what not. The songs I've heard till I have basically memorized it, but it's still cool to have a copy of my own. XD

So that's that! And tomorrow I get to go to their showcase!!! I'll talk about that when I've went to it then. XDXDXD

Today feels like such a good day. XDXDXDXD

Some simple other stuff:

Collected my KARA Sweet Muse Gallery today. XD

Delaying opening this because I'm currently on a Wonder Girls high. Hahaha. Will probably open it after tomorrow anyway. So, will talk about it then, if I feel like it. Haha.

~ ... OMG ~

2010-06-17T01:58:00.000+08:00

Orange Caramel - Magic Girl

... seriously? Pledis, this is what you're going to do? Seriously!?

Come on, I mean what the heck man, After School was cool for not acting all cute and all adorable and all that, why the heck do you want to make them do that for!?

The song doesn't even show off Raina's vocal! It's a bloody waste I tell you. I expected great things out of this ya know, not something as generic and frankly, slightly annoying like this.

That said, I'm sure (Well, hoping anyway) that it'll do well regardless, I think After School has that following now where with whatever they wanna do, the fans will still love them regardless (I hope).

And alternatively, I do still get to see Raina all dolled up. So, I guess I'll shut up now and go watch it again. :P

~ Full Metal Alchemist ~

2010-06-16T06:36:00.000+08:00

I just spent my whole day and night reading Full Metal Alchemist...

Quite satisfying I might add. XD

This was brought on by the fact that I saw that the manga had just ended. And being curious, I decided that I wanted to know how it ended. And being the idiot that cannot read the ending before the full thing, I started off from scratch...

I still can't believe that manga takes this long to read. Keep in mind I even skipped some parts that I found boring and it still took me this long to finish. It's a bloody comic book for god's sake.

You could say it was equivalent exchange, one night of my life for the entire series of FMA. LOL!!!

So now I'm gonna be working on the anime. Cool thing about the first part of the anime is that YUI's song is the opening song, that's as much as I know. Other than that, I don't really see much to look forward to in the anime actually. I'll probably watch it, but just to see how they animate some of the action sequences and see if they change anything, which I doubt they will, but who knows. I do look forward to seeing the ending though, I think mixed with good music, it'll be a sweet ending. LOL!!!

~ Exam ~

2010-06-10T01:42:00.000+08:00

Looks like an interesting movie. I mean, look at the title!!! XD

The title is soooo simple. However, the movie seems that kind of complicated movie that will complicate stuff over a simple mundane thing such as an exam. But the rules of the game is always what matters. As it is, I'm always attracted to movies/books/stories that has a structure of a game and the rules that control the game.

It is a thriller however, so I'm scared they'll be scary parts that will scare me. I think this is in the same vein as those scary movies where the main question of the day is which characters will die and which characters will live, except that instead of dying, it'll just involve which character will pass and which characters will fail. So I think it's safe for me to watch. Here's the trailer:

Exam

Speaking of which will die, which will live scenarios, I have been watching a lot of stupid movies on Channel 5 which all have that theme. Not all of them are stupid, but one of them is really really stupid. Maybe I'll get to that another day... something more to blog about maybe... add to that, I'm super tired right now. The movies I'm thinking of that I watched on Channel 5 are Hypercube (Wasn't bad actually), Attack of the Sabertooth (Rib-tickling funny sia!) and Scream 2 (No real feel to this one, had it's moments).

On that note, I have to say that when I went for that job interview that day, the HR girl that came to lead me to the interview was hella cute. Very distracting. I think it cost me a job. (I'm kidding, kay, haha, I don't think it really affected me much... :P)

WAHAHAHAHAHA.

~ Charice ~

2010-06-06T23:55:00.000+08:00

Filipino girl with style!!! XD

Became famous because some avid fan posted her videos on YouTube. And she's actually quite awesome!

Charice & Iyaz - Pyramid

I love the song!!! Additionally, I think the studio version of the MV is nicer. It's sorta like the stripped down version. Haha.

Anyway, just to say you and you and you and you and everyone else oughta give Charice a chance. Her songs are powerful and I mean vocally powerful. I was listening to her on the way home and the entire album had powerful vocals. It was quite something to listen to. ^^

On other news:

Still haven't actually decided on a Gundam to buy. Haha. Ultimately, I think this may be a good thing. What with all the crazy items SME is throwing at us, me not buying a Gundam out of whim is a very good thing.

I mean with this

What do you expect me to do? I mean come on, I'm powerless against that... bloody money hungry entertainment companies... >.<

I just read two posts on the world cup:
Kenwooi's Ways To Avoid Girlfriend’s Distraction during World Cup
curryegg's How To Distract Your Boyfriend From World Cup

And I just thought, everyone like so crazy over this world cup thing. I only thinking, I want to watch the first match and the last match. Haha. I was never really that football crazy. But I do indulge in a match every once in a while.

I'm of the opinion that a good match, is really very very entertaining. I remember watching a Netherlands vs. France match that had me on the edge of my seat. That match was crazy!!! And instantly made me a Netherlands fan. Haha. So if I were to catch any other matches, it would be the Netherlands matches. XD

~ Travelling ~

2010-06-02T22:25:00.000+08:00

Seems like I've been travelling all the time last week... and a half...

So, first I went to KL, last last Sunday, to attend some gathering. Then came back on Saturday itself. Then I went to Singapore on Monday so that I could attend some interview on Tuesday (Which required a whole lot of unnecessary walking), then I went over to JB on that Thursday, then came back into Singapore on Saturday, then went back to JB on Saturday itself, then made another unexpected trip into Singapore again on Sunday, before going back to JB on Sunday itself, before making my way back to Melaka later that night.

And... now I'm going to be going back down to Singapore on Thursday... four days after I just got back to Melaka!

I tell you, all this travelling kinda sucks. I normally don't mind travelling so much, but this is too much! ^^;

Which, btw, if anyone cares, is why I have not been updating this much the past week or so. I have to say, I think this is the longest hiatus I've had from blogging since the blog drought of... when I never blogged. ^^

But anywayz, I'm hoping good things come out of these visits all over the place. Some things are up in the air at the moment, but the KL trip was enlightening and fun. Singapore trips are always a mixed bag though.

On to some other stuff...

I briefly toyed with the idea of getting into gunpla again. For the reason that I saw some of them at 50% off!!! So I was looking at:

Seravee Gundam. Original price RM302.90, 50% = RM151.45

Cherudim Gundam. Original Price RM149.90, 50% = RM74.95

In the end though, I decided against it. For one, if I bought these days, I would have to buy 00 Gundam and Arios Gundam, which are not on discount or on sale even. For another, I have the 1/200 (I'm guessing) sized ones, and think getting the bigger versions will just dwarf them and make them feel unworthy. :P

So now I'm back to thinking about 0 Gundam

And a new one I just noticed fits my needs quite well and is relatively cheap, Gundam Exia! XD

Oh, and I also saw some models of Cherudim and Arios on discount in Toys R Us! So now you can say I'm quite torn. Hahaha.

Haihz... me needs monies...

~ Mizz Nina Represent!!! ~

2010-05-25T19:13:00.000+08:00

There's hope for Malaysian music!!! Well, we always say that when some Malaysian artist goes and makes a good song though, so it's like there's always hope, but it never gets any higher than that. It's like the potential is there, but the drive to go above and beyond is not. XD

Not that some Malaysian artists did not make it big (I can't name any though... er... er... what was that famous girl Malaysian artist name again?). But just that it seems like they don't have the sort of staying power that other artists enjoy. Or is it because I'm cocooned up in my own little world and I do not know that they are famous? I sincerely hope it's the latter. ^^

Although the other thing to note here is that she's actually collaborating with Colby O'Donis, which I do like, so maybe that's why I like her song so much.

When my brother asked me to guess who sang this song initially, I said: "Justin Bieber?" XD

I also now get why my brother said the music video seemed low budget. They are using torchlights for disco lights. And the venue is basically a shop or something and they run out of it at the end. ^^;;

But then I like it. Cause Mizz Nina looks awesome in it. And it's simple. Haha.

~ Cute Scandalous Promotions ~

2010-05-21T02:06:00.000+08:00

So they have denying it for ages it seems, but then this MV is sure to stoke that fire again...

SNSD & 2PM - Cabi

You know, Yoona and Taecyeon should just admit they're dating and be done with it. XD

Of course, there will then be numerous crazy fangirls who would want to kill her. Sooo... I guess the secrecy is there for a reason. ^^;;

But seriously, it would just be so damn cute to see them dating lar. Haha. I personally think it would be one of the cutest things I'll ever see, next to Ice Kacang Puppy Love, which is the cutest movie I've ever seen in like ever. I've never really seen a movie and thought of it as cute till I've seen Ice Kacang Puppy Love. XD Read my views on it here is you wanna: HERE.

Seriously, I'm so taken by Ice Kacang Puppy Love I'm feeling slightly inclined to claim it as the best movie I've seen so far this year. The other contenders, so to speak are Alice in Wonderland, How to Train Your Dragon and The Lovely Bones (Which is a 2009 movie, so doesn't really count). XD

I'm also actually looking forward to maybe getting the DVD when it comes out. Haha. Hopefully I will do that though. I normally talk big and never really do much one. HAHA.

Some other stuff:

B.o.B & Hayley Williams - Airplanes

I love Hayley Williams part in the song. Technically, I only like her part in the song. It's kinda sad to think of it that way though, but really, only reason I'm even listening to this song is because of Hayley Williams. Additionally, I keep hearing Paramore's new song, which irritated me initially, but now has played till I've tolerated it till I like it. Power of spamming! XD

Goo Hara taking off her pants in front of Rain!!!

I couldn't stop laughing. It was bloody hilarious to see their reactions. And you get to see Goo Hara in hot pants, so I think it's a win-win on all levels. I can't believe Rain got so flabbergasted though. Haha.

~ Most useless connection of all time... ~

2010-05-17T20:39:00.000+08:00

Seriously. How do you people survive with this excuse of a connection?

I can hardly do anything without having to wait like 10 minutes. It's totally absurd. Like now, I'm trying to reload Wonder Girls' 2 Different Tears, it's been 10 minutes and it isn't even half done yet.

On the other hand though, it is limiting what I do a lot so I find time to do other things that I love to do, so I guess it's all good in the end... but still... zzzz

Other stuff:

Big Bang - Tell Me Goodbye

I always did like Big Bang's songs. They're just so awesome. And in the MV, they all just look so damn cool! XD

~ Only If You Run ~

2010-05-17T02:30:00.000+08:00

Awesome awesome song... ^^

... yeah, that's all I've got. XD

Julian Plenti - Only If You Run

Life's been... weird though. I find myself talking to someone who thinks I'm weird and I think she's weird. It's all a weird weird world. ^^

~ Torn Up ~

2010-05-16T19:19:00.000+08:00

Previously, had I not developed this way of handling hurt and pain, I would be torn up and double guessing everything I've said and feeling really bad about it. But these days, I seem to be able to compartmentalize quite easily and ignore things or people that cause me grief. (Although I do think about it on and off, but much less than last time)

Anything that makes you feel grief or pain shouldn't be allowed to mess up your whole day no? XD

On other news:

Wonder Girls - 2 Different Tears

I like. Good follow up to Nobody, which, has been a while. I don't like the bloody alien guy, but I think it's better than Hyori's alien. XD

But classically Wonder Girls though. It even has a Yubin English rap in the middle, it's so WG style that I can't say it's revolutionary. I'm not really complaining, but shake things up sometime why don't you? XD

Regardless, I wish them all the best in returning to the Korean scene!!! I'll probably be supporting along this time cause... well, I don't have anyone else to support, and I do like the song and there's Sunye in any case... XD

I get it now, I'm feeling (failing) it quite badly.

Seriously, I do not get her at all. I think she's acting cute one moment and she's actually quite mad, I think she's mad, and she's actually kidding. And she constantly goes off every night saying she hates me and then the next day comes back and asks me why she was hating me the whole night last night...

Quite baffling really. XD

Not talking about my girlfriend or anything, just a general friend. LOL. But seriously, if a friend is this confusing, imagine what my potential girlfriend would be.

It's... fun though... I dunno why, but I keep on thinking this is fun. Someone needs to check my head for internal injuries... ^^;;

~ My Asian Movie Day ~

2010-05-13T00:36:00.001+08:00

Went out for my solo movie day today. I didn't mean to make it all Asian movies, but everyone else besides me has already watched Ip Man 2 and I do want to watch it, so that was movie 1. Movie 2 I was looking at the list and I decided to choose something that no one related or remotely connected to me would ever watch and that was Ice Kacang Puppy Love.

Started off with a bang with Ip Man 2!!!

Donnie Yen MAN!!! I never knew how awesome he was till I watched the Ip Man movies. Hehe. And now my friend keeps telling me to go watch his other movies like Flashpoint, 14 Blades and Bodyguards and Assassins. So maybe one day I will. Haha.

I was thinking at the end of Ip Man 2 that I should've watched Ice Kachang Puppy Love first then Ip Man 2 as I thought Ip Man 2 was an awesome movie and watching a romance film after that didn't feel quite right.

Ice Kacang Puppy Love

I was so so wrong. XD

The movie was nice! I actually could not tell it was Malaysian made! Ah Niu really did a good job with this movie! It felt very much like an art piece. All very nice shots and melancholy music and all that good gooey stuff you need in an art piece. (I'm trying to think of a different term here but I keep coming back to art piece... >.<)

I do actually loved this movie. It was funny! And I could kinda relate to some of the issues it portrayed, so it felt like I was watching a Malaysian's kid's life all over again. (Not my life, some other Malaysian kid's life. Ah Niu for example. :P) And all the love triangles/quadrangles in the movie was hilarious. Made me think of all the funny relationships I saw in my own school in my time. Seeing how the kids coped with their first love was a reminder as to how I coped with my first love (FYI, I did not cope, I just moped. :P).

One issue I think people may have with it is that if you're not Malaysian or Singaporean, you may not get the movie totally. In my opinion it works very well for a Malaysian to like take a nostalgic trip back into their childhood, but for someone who doesn't understand the culture, they just may not get it.

All in all, I would say today I had loads of fun! Ip Man 2 was awesomely action packed! And Ice Kacang Puppy Love had all the makings of an art piece that entertained me to no end! And I would say Ice Kacang Puppy Love was the better movie of the two. I tried to think of the best fight in Ip Man 2, I couldn't really think of one. All the fights were about the same intensity, but none of them really popped out at me like in the first Ip Man (His fight with the Northen guy).

There's still hope for Malaysian Movies after all... XD

And hope Malaysia's badminton as well. Lol. I'll get to that next post. XD

Some simple other stuff:
LORD SUNDAY IS OUT!!!

GAAHHHH!!! And to just save RM2.29, I decided to come home today to get my Popular Member Card (My dad's) to then go to Popular tomorrow to buy.

You would think it would be cheaper if I just bought it then and there and save on the petrol needed to go and buy it somewhere else no? ^^;;

~ Zombie killing quotes ~

2010-05-11T20:25:00.000+08:00

Just something I came up with when I was suddenly hit by a bout of depression and was feeling emo and all that good gooey stuff you feel when you are down.

Spammed it in Facebook. XD

In case you can't see, repeated here for your viewing pleasure:
1. What do you do when you see a Witch? Poke her and run the hell away!!!
2. How about a Hunter? Run the other way while screaming your lungs out!!! XD
3. Got hit by a Boomer? Start turning in circles and firing till your legs give out.
4. A Tank throwing things at you? Play dead. You'll be dead soon.
5. Got spit by a Spitter? Be a man, wade through the goo and stab her in the heart.
6. Jockys refusing to let go? Jump over a cliff, he'll lead you to it anyway.
7. Chargers coming? Step to one side and watch him flail meaninglessly against the wall. Then laugh before he catches you.
8. Smokers got your neck by his tongue? ... good luck!

And my final post:
If you can't tell yet, I'm really really really REALLY bored. XD

Really sums it up quite well. I do really do number 1 and 2 quite often the last time I played. When I hear a witch in L4D, I will actively search her out, try to crown her, fail and then run the hell away before I get pinned and before I get killed. The Hunter is also the same case. I see a Hunter in front of me, I backpedal while screaming and shooting before he pounces on me and proceed to mangle my internal organs out. The only special infected I've had quite some luck killing so far has been the Boomer, because he's really... kinda dumb. Haha.

Now I really want to play Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2. Haihz.

Additionally, Kenwooi's post made me laugh like hell, see it here: Left 4 Dead 2 Noob Style

I really applaud his brother. It's a zombie apocalypse. Blood ties mean nothing! WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :P

I'm hoooommmeeee!!!

XDXDXD

Happy as hell... except for the fact that the internet crawls... it literally crawwwwllllsss...

It's so slow I can run to Africa and back before it loads finish. I wish the HDH was played earlier so that I could watch it earlier at faster speeds and at higher res as compared to now when I am compromising by watching 360p res and it's still slow as hell. >.<

But besides that, I'm dandy! I've done the standard organizing of my books and music cupboards in record time as I do not want to waste too much time doing that. I've got other things more important to do such as job hunting (Which actually kinda sucks, but exciting at the same time, lol).

But before that, I will enjoy my life as much as I can right now! Nothing like the present I never always say. XD

~ Song of the Sun ~

2010-05-08T05:12:00.000+08:00

Otherwise known as Taiyou no Uta in Japanese.

Performed so far by three people I do love:

YUI

In the Japanese movie, also the singer of the songs Sky Line, Good Bye Days and It's Happy Line which are awesome! XD

Erika Sawajiri

In the Japanese serial, which was fine, but I still think the movie is better. Also had some songs which were different from movie, but still sounded fine. Only thing now is that Erika seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. Apparently got married and went to Europe or something. Hahaha.

Taeyeon

In the Korean musical currently running now! XD

It's just kinda painful how much I want to watch this. Which is crazy because I wouldn't be able to get the tickets, I'm not in Korea and there's the small issue that I do not understand the language AT ALL!!! But I'm just looking at the news articles, the pictures, the videos and I really really really want to watch this musical. XD

Admittedly, I have seen some clips of her acting, and it IS a bit awkward, however I just got goosebumps listening to Taeyeon sing Good Bye Days, so I guess it all evens out in the end. XD

Gahhh... at the very least, I hope I'll be able to find some way to get hold of the songs she sings in it. If someone releases an album, I would soooo buy it. :P

Taeyeon - Song of the Sun clips/Good Bye Days

Point to note, Taeyeon's voice lacks the high pitchness of YUI to make the song sound really innocent and pure, but it is a nice take on it all the same. XD

So this is a picture of a Norwegian prison.

So why do I want to break out again? It looks better than my room!

To talk to... >.<

I just got hit by my annual "feeling like crap" disease which I get hit every once in a while. And it's just so random. I just see something, and I just suddenly feel like crap. I wish I had someone to talk to. Even if it's not to talk about this, I could use someone to distract me.

I can't recover from things like this easily, especially when it's something I really care about. I would say things like "Why do you do this to me God!?" but for the reason that I don't really believe in God. I do reason things out by saying that that's how things turn out, but it sucks when I see conditions that prove the contrary and it just depresses me to no end.

Could really use someone to talk to, haihz. >.<

Some other stuff:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Retreat

Weirdest storyline I've read so far. But then the graphic novels so far have had the weirdest stories. In any case, some of the cover artwork is amazing, the storyline art is not as stellar, but it's tolerable.

Thought of watching Kick Ass today, but stupid cinema not showing again. ^^;;

I've finally caught up on two of the Gayo Daejun shows of 2009. Haha. I've been putting it off, but am now finally watching all three. The KBS one was okay, reasonable nice but the SBS one was awesome!!! The YG family performances was awesome, the SM family performance was awesome, the collaborations were awesome and besides the one where the guys dress up as girls, most of the performances were just awesome.

That's the thing with me though, when girls dress up as guys to perform the guys songs, I deem it the best thing ever. When the opposite occurs, I cringe and call it a catastrophe.

On the other hand, it's nice to see 2AM and Davichi collaborating. That was the most outstanding performance to me for some reason. Seeing Haeri and Jokwon pulling those notes were just amazing. And of course I have to mention SNSD, who were damn cute in the pajamas but the entire thing just felt a bit weird, although I'm not really complaining, just saying.
