HEADLINE NEWS: STARTING COSFEST PREPARATIONS~

What's in my head right now?

2009-03-22T23:17:00.004+08:00

I let off a lot of steam yesterday. ORZ

Me and Melo were at Spidey's house that time, then Spidey was doing her props. After that, we had a long (and I mean LONG) talk about past stuffs. We were bitching and badmouthing quite a bit (a bit... maybe not ah). I really talked my heart out. Ah, the good times.

Then today I was there again, with Rei, Ashley and Shinji. Pretty much a screwed up day as I had nothing to do (Shinji never bring my skinsuit =_=) And some bugger was only paying ________ to ______ while ignoring the ___ of __ mostly. (Go fill in the blanks yerself, yo.) So I was suspecting something. More like assuring, 'cos I had suspected a long time back. I talked to Spicey (lolz) about it and he had the same idea. Then at dinner, I was talking to Mao about it, and he thought the same too. HMMM.

I dunno, I might be a bit clueless, but I can damn well predict an outcome by logic and instinct. But hey, I ain't telling anybody yet. Hurhur~

Updates?

2009-02-10T12:35:00.002+08:00

It's been a long while since I blogged, haha.

I'm slowly preparing for my Fate/Stay Night cosplay at Cosfest. I already have a group, and it's slowly growing. Hopefully I can at least get all the servants. Sorry for abandoning the zoo peeps though. =3

And if the reader (you) have not watched Kara no Kyoukai, GO WATCH IT. IT IS NICE.

That long stretch of road.

2008-12-08T15:03:00.004+08:00

Well, this is the 1st in a LONG time that I've stayed in my house for the whole day. And I've been thinking about a lot of things.

Firstly, about cosplay. I started this hobby last year. when I saw a lot of good cosplayers at Cosfest '07. I was really amazed by the work that they had done, and I was thinking, "Maybe I can do the same thing too..." I had really wanted to try cosplaying as Harima Kenji from School Rumble, since I loved the anime and I know I can pull it off really well.

Then my 1st cosplay event as a cosplayer came, in WCG Coscon. I joined the competition because I overspent on my costume (I went to a normal tailor =_=) But hey, I got 2nd runner-up. Not too shabby considering I got $200 back. I decided to use that money on my EOY cosplay.

Along the way, I had lots of cool friends too. Most of them I had found through SGCafe, which was the main cosplay forum. There were the wacky ones like Shinji, the silly ones like Negi, the "silent-but-can-give-one-liner-killer-sentences" ones like Neng, and shorties like Shinso (sorry! XD), among others.

Heck, I was involved in most cosplay events, but more than just cosplaying. I was the co-emcee for EOY '07. And cos-sing as Jeryy from D.Gray-Man~ =3

After that, I made it a point to cosplay characters that wear shades or masks. Why? I'm to scared of wearing contacts. But hey, I'm smart enough to go around it. XD

So my next event was SOY '08, a new event hosted by Ngee Ann Polytechnic. I went there as Mr. Karate from Art and Fighting, and Setsuru tagged along as Yuri Sakazaki. It was a hilarious day there, and even though I didn't win the competitions, I enjoyed it a lot. Even the audience liked Minoru's Hare Hare Yukai dance that I did. But the emcees sure gave screwed up questions like "If you see a Neko (cat) on the street, what would you do?" =_= Even one girl (sorry I forgot your name, but I damn sure remember your face XD) called me p***s-head. Well, for obvious reasons. Think of my mask~

Then fast-forward to Streetfest! I had my 1st real gig with Absinthe. I was the drummer. =D It was really a surreal experience, but even though I screwed up a bit, I felt that I did pretty well for a first. The audience loved our performance too! Big props to the rest of my bandmates: Jem and YK the guitarists, Gene the bassist and Winnie the vocalist. You guys rock!

Then it was cosplay time! I did B-Bone from GuitarFreaks! I had always wanted to do a Bemani character for a long time. This cosplay was the hardest one I did to date, as I had to body paint my arms a lot to make them grey.

Hmm, oh yeah. Before that event, I had suggestion from Sloth to join his Arrancar group. They were missing a few members, including Kaname Tousen. Then I was thinking, "Maybe I should do a serious character once in a while..." So I joined his team. And that's how I joined my current clique right now. I'll talk more about them later.

Next event up was the Singapore Toy and Comics Convention. I spent the 1st day roaming around, getting freebies and playing the games there. Then on Day 2, I was cos-sing as Afro from Dance Dance Revolution. Ya, man. I even played DDR Supernova 2 dressed up as him! Shinji and Sephora sabotaged me. =3

Oh yea, I remember that time I was on stage. I was singing the Gatsby song with Spidey as a Dynasty Warriors character with super-huge red lion hair. XD

Then came the big event: Cosfest '08. The Arrancar team was one of the more eye-catching cosplays, as I expected. I myself didn't expect to do such a good cosplay of Tousen. Some girls even asked if I was the real guy! -sweats-

I also did Don Kanonji some time later, at Anime Festival Asia. It was the most relaxing, AND most tiring cosplay at the same time. I can act like an idiot however I like, but doing that BWAHAHAHA pose is painful~ >.<

Hmm, I have probably 3 more cosplays to go before I semi-retire/retire (see how, ya). But along the way, I've met some great friends, I found my first love, and I had a LOT of fun. Here's to the new generation of cosplayers; hope you guys do better than us!!!

'Tis not yer usual blogpost.

2008-11-23T00:18:00.002+08:00

I would want to blog more about AFA. About how cool Ichirou Mizuki and his ani-songs were, the various booths, and some of the shows as well.

But there's other issues i want to talk about. =3

As I was going back. I talked to this old lady. She was an Indonesian; I had to figure out myself since she was talking in Malay, but in a weird dialect. =3 She's a worker at the Army Market; I think I probably saw her before. ANYWAYS...

We talked about a lot of stuffs, about religion, about Malay teenagers really going corrupted nowadays, about the future... anything out of the blue, really. But after that, I really had a new lease of life, somehow. And I learnt something important: "Mind over Body". I'll really try to change myself from now on.

Means, expect a lot of unexpected things to happen, guys.

Okay, other random stuffs than happened today:

1. I spent ZILCH during my time in AFA. =D

2. The queue for cosplayers' pre-registration was non-existant. The normal queue was godlike though. Rein and Kei had to suffer through it. =3

3. Spidey was crazy enough to buy 3 bags full of figurines. =_=

4. I was eating at Macs with Denise and Yukihoshi. Then Yuki left and suddenly the Zoo people arrived. Oh noes. Sure hope they don't have such wild imaginations. D=

5. Denise missed 2 of her buses before I had to help wave for the 3rd one, lol. She got lucky there. And it all happened within 2 minutes. XDDDD

AFA's Coming!!!

2008-11-20T19:22:00.001+08:00

I think I'm prepared for it... Should be. BWAHAHAHAHAHA

I hope I can get 1270 SP for Drummania, then I can quit it for good. =D

And then, after AFA, I shall pull off a stunt worthy of a daredevil... hehe. +_+

Late Report!!

2008-11-18T20:25:00.004+08:00

I was supposed to blog about my weekend yesterday, but was lazy, hehe~

SATURDAY:
Went to do one last filming session at RDA. I was so tired from waking up too early, I slept during half the time there =3. But in all, it was a really good session; my group worked really hard that day.

Then I headed over with Calyx to meet my new band at Chinatown. She tagged along 'cos it was too early for her to go back home XD. In the end, only the guitarists and I were playing, because one of them had a tutorial session with the other =_=. I think they should practice on their own 1st and get at least 1 or 2 songs right before jamming, otherwise it would be a waste of money. That's why I hate going jamming D=. But I ended up getting an ear muffler. FOR FREE! XD

SUNDAY:
Went out with the zoo peeps. Rein got lost, AGAIN. -makes an L-rainbow sign-

We went to find some cosplay stuffs (Spidey specifically), before making a trip to our intended lunch area, Dallas Fried Chicken. It was PACKED. WE ended up at a nearby kopitiam instead. T_T

Then we headed over to Spidey's office and slacked there. Some did props, some played games (Typing of the Dead, LOL) and I was playing Guitar Freaks. It's funny when I saw the other zoo peeps' blogs saying I was playing Guitar HERO. XDDDD

Then Melo went off 1st as we headed over to Vivo for dinner at KFC. We talked a lot of crap during that time, haha.

Then we went off home, and I took MRT. I TOOK MRT. That's amazing by my standards. XD

Okays, end of report. Now for slightly more serious (but still funny) stuff:

Seriously, I've got a premonition of a deja vu happening. But let's see what happens. And sometimes I really find it HARD to ask a girl out. Kinda scary like watching a horror movie. =3

My Dream Music Game Setup

2008-10-27T21:07:00.004+08:00

Once I get a job and my own house, I'm gonna make one room specially for playing music video games.

Let's see how much I need and what to get:

ION Drum Rocker
A really sturdy drumset controller that resembles the one at Drummania arcade machines. Heck, it's quite cheap going at US$300. (Unlike the really expensive DTXpress sets at 1K) And you can even replace the drum module so that you can use it for real jamming sessions. +_+

An LCD TV, huge one preferably

A PS2 (about SG$150)

Mayber throw in a guitar or 2 for some fun =D

And a PS-to-PC converter is really important too~

The games I need:
Guitar Hero World Tour
Rock Band & Rock Band 2
The Drummania and Guitar Freaks series

I'd suppose each are gonna cost about 70-80, so I'll stick to DTXMania and simfiles 1st, haha.

I think this setup should cost about 1K, maybe less. So probably 4 months of work should be able to get me this dream "video game room". =D

Go Japan!

2008-10-11T23:08:00.003+08:00

Today I went to Central at Clarke Quay to watch the GO Japan Matsuri Festival (funny they mentioned 'Festival' twice. Matsuri = Festival in Japanese). Quite interesting for a 1st time event. I noticed more cosplayers than I thought, though.

I hung around with Chibi, Eisha and Leon. Then saw a few familiar faces like, Kenneth (in a Lolita AGAIN), Omicron (Macho cosplayer award LOL), Wirbewind (long time no see~) and Froggy (see managed to spot me the 1st time =D), among others.

The cosplay competition was a bit bleh, but the singing competition was great. All singers were top-notch =D

Here's a pic to commemorate the event!

Backtracking a bit. (Part 2)

2008-10-06T08:45:00.015+08:00

Eating at Tofu shop with Shinji near Park Lane:

I look so unglam. Hee.

Times at Manga Cafe:

Drawn on the whiteboard by yours truly.

I played Monopoly a LOT with Shinji, Sora, Jinggong and some others when I used to frequent there.

My birthday cake. Sponsored by Chiru =D

That cat that ran into my house suddenly:

It was hungry, so I have it bread. >.<

I had to rush to school, so I had to leave the poor cat alone. D=

Outing at Changi Airport:

Shinji's "sotong radar" activated again!

Studio Production in my school:

The blue-screen room. Reminds me of Meet the Spartans (if you get the joke).

Mummies alive! XD

Up-close.

Mickey doing last adjusments to the mummy~

What you'll see on the TV instead.

Okay, show's over. Good job guys!

Art class:

Done by my group. Abstract, and nice. I love it~ (It's a tree, btw.)

Japanese school visit to RP, sposored by RP Japanese Culture Club:

I'm assigned to Group 4.

Pics with the group mates. =D

Last pic of them before they left for Japan. I wish I could go to their school =D

Backtracking a bit. (Part 1)

2008-10-06T00:22:00.010+08:00

I noticed I have a LOT of pictures in my handphone. I meant to upload them while blogging, but I'm always a lazy-ass, so I'm gonna keep it short and sweet and make this a pic-post. Btw, the events are not in order, just because I don't bother to remember trivial stuffs XD

J-rock/Cosplay Matsuri:

Shaun playing Drummania and looking weird XD

Primary school friends. Singapore's THAT big, lol.

Band performing. Not bad~

Games Convention:

Long live the king! Mao got a Wii for 2nd place in the cosplay competition, sucker~ =D

National Day:

Nice heart-shaped pattern made by the Air Force stuntmen.

Melo playing with my PSP. She's bored cos' there's no fireworks yet...

Glowing lanterns!

Not anymore, though...

Going to eat after the festival. Apparently they got "caught up" while rushing to the kopitiam, lol~

Part 2 coming up. =D

Horse-riding and Home-visiting

2008-10-05T23:58:00.005+08:00

Hari Raya has just started!! I got lots of muneh =D

I went to visit for about two days. Was practically sleepwalking the whole journey. Damn tired from all the late sleeping and project-mugging. It's crazy stuff =_=

Last Saturday I went to RDA with Max and Jason to get a feel of the location that we're going to shoot for our FYP. Managed to snap some pics with my handphone cam:

The shed where they keep the horse-related equipment.

After that, I went to Bugis arcade with Spidey. Met a lot of my arcade pals there. Everyone's mugging the Drummania and Guitar Freaks Battle Mode just to get that REALLY NICE secret song: 凛として咲く花の如く (Rin Toshite Saku Hana no Gotoku). Cross-over Pop'n Music song, yo~

Preview of the song below:

It's one of the most popular PoMu songs EVER in Japan, so I'm not surprised if it stays in the top 5 Hit Chart in GFDM for a long time =D

Yesterday, I went visiting around for Hari Raya. Then I got back home and my grandma and her relative with her cute granddaughter (she grew up too fast o_o) visited my house. Otherwise, nothing much interesting else happened =_=

The whole week's a little empty.

2008-09-27T11:46:00.005+08:00

Well, I occupied myself finding rare game gems over the Internet. I played Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo (super-old classic) and Puyo Pop Fever (can't seem to finish it on PSP =_=) I'm waiting to get my Premium Rapidshare account so I get all the MAME roms, 25GB+ of it. Spidey, where are you!? =D

Currently, I'm in a dilemma of whether to cosplay that Code Geass Lancelot cosplayer for EOY. $190!? Damn ex ler. I'd rather do 3 other cosplays and do just as well as that. Besides, I haven't watch CG yet, and I don't cosplay characters from animes I have never watched yet. And I still wanna maintain my status as "BUDGET COSPLAYER", heehee.

On the relationship side, I heard from ***** that she and **** presumably ended their relationship. I heard from both sides, and all I can say is that a long-distance relationship doesn't work for them. And being a little too overprotective doesn't work either. I just hope they move on and still be happy.

For my case, well, let's just say it's REALLY SCREWED UP in my opinion. -sweats-

Wonderful Weekend~

2008-09-21T21:40:00.004+08:00

This previous weekend was filled with cool activities. And I really enjoyed it, yo. XD

Saturday:

Went to the Games Convention. I collected a HELL lot of freebies, and I also won some prizes, heehee. I took part in the Soul Calibur IV impropmtu tourney. Only 4 people, so I had a higer chance of winning. In the end I walked off with 3 XBox 360 games. Maybe I should sell them, since I don't have the console. >.>

There was the Guitar Hero Aerosmith competition too, but I lost because the Star Power died on me. T_T

Then I got my hands on the sneak preview of Guitar Hero World Tour. I was on the mic singing Linkin Park's "What I've Done" (I sounded strangely nice o_o). Then I tried the drums. Freak ah, it's NOTHING like Drummania.

Drummania's mapping on screen is like this (excluding bass):

Hi-hat, Snare, Hi-tom, Low-tom, Cymbal

Guitar Hero, however, was like THIS:

Snare, Hi-hat, Hi-tom, Cymbal, Low-tom

When I failed the 1st time for mistaking the Hi-hat for Snare, Spidey shouted, "You played too much Drummania!!" LOL

Then the booth lady asked me for my number, so if there's any roadshow or promotion, I'll be invited. Sa-weet.

Then I went for the Rock Band competition with Toasty on Guitar, Elle on bass, Spidey on vocals and yours truly on drums. Too bad we didn't make it to the finals, but I had lotsa fun!

Oh ya, before we went off, we tried the F1 simulation. Spidey literally treated the car like a skateboard. Grinding LOL

Sunday:

Went to Waseda Senior High! The haunted hospital was really fun, and all the rooms were really unique! Like the mouse room, the cafes and the games rooms. Everybody there worked hard to make it a success, and the crowd turnout was amazing. Props to you guys. ^^ Their costumes were "sugoi" too XD

I'm screwed.

2008-09-02T15:22:00.001+08:00

I'm now at Shinji's house. Still thinking of what to cosplay for EOY. I don't think I'll join the zoo group for Code Geass, since I haven't watched it yet. Most probably doing solo.

But I NEED IDEAS!!! >.>

My gaming appetite just returned. LOL

2008-08-26T17:23:00.002+08:00

These past few days, I had no mood to play at the arcade. Maybe the stress of making a decision really got over me.

Luckily, Shinji introduced a cool game to me: Super Dancer Online. Like DDR, but with keyboard as the buttons.

Now playing for the 2nd day. Been spamming since morning, so no time to do a long blog. XD

Ja ne~

I shall stay at home today. HURHUR

2008-08-20T13:47:00.003+08:00

Today I'm really tired. So I'm staying at home~

I should be going about doing my game design for the new drum game I was planning. I had the ideas in my head, but was lazy to pen them down. And hopefully there's some interesting sports going on in Olympics on Channel 5 while I'm at it.

More updates at night, haha. I haven't bathe yet. And I notice everytime I set the alarm to a certain time, I'll wake up 1 hour later. =_=||

Tired daa~

2008-08-19T22:20:00.003+08:00

Today I went to AMK with Shinji to make my new nEbO card. I thought it would take about 2 weeks to be sent to me, but turns out it was done immediately, lol. Then we had lunch at the nEbo cafe. The teriyaki chicken was nice~

Then we watched Inugami. It's a precursor to the Kindaichi series, with Kindaichi's grandpa being the main character. Nice movie, really. I haven't been watching detective shows lately, and this is one that detective story-lovers shouldn't miss. =D

Then we went to the library to borrow some books. Jiji never pay fines, so cannot borrow books lol. I borrowed for him, since he was so nice to treat me during the day. XD Then we went to the Jubilee Zone-X arcade (it was still around LOL) and played a few games there.

Now watching TV while rotting. Man, I still haven't really found my answer to what I really want...

Singing in the rain...?

2008-08-19T13:05:00.002+08:00

Y'day was damn boring. Rein ask me to go out. He ate as Sakae Sushi with Jiji n Phyllo. I had not much money left, so I opted to go to Bugis arcade instead.

Well, it's the usual happenings there. There were quite a few known and unknown pro Drummania players there. WTF everybody's spamming Dynamis >.> I played the DM Random cup, and SS'ed Champione. Lucky lah, cos' I got a relatively easy chart, haha.

I also saw her again in the arcade; I dunno whether she noticed I was around tho. Reminds me of the good ol' days~ Negayi was there too; when she saw me, she gave me that weasel smile. LOL

Then the 3 jokers arrived. They were playing Pop'n Music, haha. Maybe I should start practicing that n Beatmania; after all, PoMu is only $1, good for a budget spender/cheapskate like me. =D

Then Phyllo n Rein left, so me n Shinji went to get his handphone strap. We stopped by at an eating house 1st to have beancurd and soya bean. Nice luh, long time never eat~

After his objective was done, we ran to the busstop. Why ran? Friggin' rain... >.>

I've got my laptop back. YESH.

2008-08-17T00:15:00.008+08:00

Wah, today I finally got by my laptop, but I had to go there super-early, cos Acer on Saturday opens from 9am to 12pm. Sucker >.>

Hmm, the arcade has some cool stuffs lately. TKA brought in a new drum game called "Drum Live Station". It's like Drummania, but with a real drumset. The songlist was not bad, K-Pop and a few English rock songs thrown in. The only gripe I have is the hi-hat is too friggin' far away from where I'm sitting when I play =_=||

Drummania also has a new cup, the "Random Cup". It's Guitar Freaks' Random option, IN A DRUM GAME. Champione was fun as hell to play with the rolls all over the place, but Kimi no Tonarini is full of crack... And Vanessa -tenshouhen- is not any much better either. But I can do Power Game. 87% skill, hurhur~

Man, these past few days have been a really shocking day to say the least. The other day (don't ask me when, I'm not Father Time) I was talking to Phyllo on MSN on PSP. [Btw, MSN on PSP is NOT FUN. It MURDERS your fingers] Then he suddenly popped out that dreaded qn for the 6th time: "So, who are you going after?"

I asked why he asked again. He told me that everybody was thinking that I was going after so-and-so and that I stopped going after so-and-so. I was like "WTH!?" but yeah, it was just a misunderstanding. I only treat so-and-so as a good friend, but nothing beyond that. I still have feelings for that other girl; I never change target hor! Spidey must die, he started this whole confusion >.>

But yeah, if I gotta wait after O-levels, I'll wait. I will hold on to this hope, because I really love you a lot.

Random Revival~

2008-08-14T10:49:00.002+08:00

I've been really bored these past few days. I'm going out soon to slack again, but I did this Personality Test while watching the swimming Olympics events on Channel 5, lol. I took it from Spidey's (super-outdated) blog, since I've nothing to do nowadays XD

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education:
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.

The right job for you:
You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

ps. Not like I'll believe in much of this anyway. I don't trust much about horoscopes either, haha.

Yesterday seems like an eternity.

2008-08-04T12:41:00.003+08:00

I shared the cost for Claudia's present with Shinji, Phyllo and Neng. So I owe Shinji 5 bucks, haha.

I met some old friends like Chiru (new bf huh? Teh moron XD), Shinso (nice cheongsam LOL), Zaku, Negi, and a few more others.

Then the 4 of us headed over to Changi Airport to eat lunch with Reinhart and Kei. Rein looks like a beggar. And still a sotong as usual, hurhur.

After that, we played Truth or Dare. Oh well... I got the most jialat qns~

Yes, I've said it all.

If it does work out, I don't mind waiting. And if it doesn't work out, I don't mind either. I'll just move on~

"Man, you've gotta be a bit wiser."

Weeee, Lucky Stars!!

2008-08-03T09:15:00.003+08:00

Okay, I just woke up. But I still can't forget about yesterday. Nothing bad happened to me, yay! ^_^V

I finally finished my Sem 1 FYP. Woohoo! And there's even free food after my team was done with our Oral Defence. YES, THANK YOU. I WAS DAMN HUNGRY. =D

Then after that, I headed over to Plaza Sing to find Melo. I rushed down by bus (and even chased after it) so I was only about 15 mins late. Lucky~

1st we went to More Than Words. I showed her the present (the chocolate frame) that we gave to Ice before she left. She said it was a good choice, haha.

We went to KFC where I ate my lunch and she was making hearts out of paperclips. I gave her OREO wafer rolls (Well, I did promise to offer her chocolate to cheer her up, haha) and she gave me one heart in return. XD

This is what she gave me. Niceeeee~ (Sorry for the sucky phone camera tho)

Reminds me of another lucky charm I got from Sepho:

The Sun Vongola (Bangala?) ring. He said it suits me 'cos I'm the joker that brightens the mood during group outings with the cosplay gang. Hur.

Okay, back to topic. I brought Melo to see the DDR Supernova2 machine. Can't play 'cos got too many people, and I was wearing my boots >.> We headed for the upstairs arcade and played Beatmania IIDX together. I can barely play 7-Key. Need more training. And she's not bad for a 5-Key player too XD

Then we walked around Carrefour where she wanted to see the keyboards. She said she wanted to get one for herself. The Casio ones are quite cheap and good for a start, IMO.

After that, we walked to the red line at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station where we parted ways. She was going for her bro's b'day party and I was heading home by bus. It was a good way to enjoy yourself after a rough weekend in school~

Speaking of b'day, I have to go for Claudia's b'day party later. Hopefully Shinji remembers to give me more details later~ XD

Memorial.

2008-08-01T20:57:00.004+08:00

Today I was super-bored, so I went down to Bugis to play at the arcade. I saw KSM and we had a good time chatting.

Here's some cool scores for DMV5:

Woohoo, SS =D. Then I got this for Encore:

Damn nice wallpaper can... I tried ADV tho. EXT makes me play like a retard. >.>

Crap lah, 1 Good. Then it got me this:

The background looks so plain. "Over there" looks much nicer. AND I STILL CAN'T CATCH ITS ENDING ROLL. rawr...

Hmm... Let's turn back time.

2008-07-29T20:37:00.005+08:00

I had a chance to see Kenneth's house and "jamming studio" sometime back. It was small, but quite impressive.

His room (OMG he grew long hair!! XD)

A collection of guitars, his and his friends'~

The drumkit. It's missing two more cymbals. >.<

I also caught up with the members of Absinthe for a jamming session yesterday. I was laughing non-stop when we screwed up some parts for "Joint" and we forgot how to play most of our old songs. LOL

Drummania and Guitar Freaks V5 came out quite recently too. I went high playing them, especially the English Rock songs from Avenged Sevenfold and As I Lay Dying~

On the Guitar Freaks side:

The WORLD. Weeeee. EXCELLENT!!! That's my only GFV5 pic tho, all the songs are SEVERLY underrated. >.>

And on the Drummania side:

After Dark SS. The cover is not bad, but Sousei no Aquarion's cover is MUCH better~

Almost Easy is ALMOST easy. =D

The Sound of Truth. I keep missing the triple bass... T_T

And I shall end off this post with a note: My heart's still lingering somewhere~ =D

A stroke of bad-luck.

2008-07-23T23:38:00.002+08:00

This is super-amusing story. Seriously!!!

Shinji has been a suay person. Almost everyday he has something bad happen to him... Until he got himself a girlfriend.

Now all of his suay aura has been passed down to me (mostly) and Phyllo. I'm a friggin' tanker again >.>

I suck worse at Guitar Freaks now, my plans for this coming Friday just got ruined, and... too many other things happened (and NONE are positive).

RAWR. I need some good luck here!! Somebody pass some to me~ T_T

Yes, I Really Need Help.

2008-07-18T23:11:00.002+08:00

Some of my team members (one idiot actually) is not happy with me, and I'll probably get screwed during my oral defence.

My parents are not happy that I skip class. I don't like my class, and now I hate how RP runs its classes.

My stepdad gives me the stupidest restrictions that has no relevence to my school-ponning activities.

YES, I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY CURRENT LIFE NOW.

I NEED OUT.

I'd say, this week's quite depressing, man.

2008-07-17T11:28:00.003+08:00

Gawd, this week is super stressful.

1. Final Year Project is draining away my sleeping time. Curses~

2. I think I might have to repeat this semester. >.>

3. About 4 people have told me about their relationship problems. More specifically, how to get so-and-so girl. Not that I mind, but nice timing ya... T_T

Well, I don't really bother too much about my studies; I have back-up plans at least. And somehow I don't have the mood for relationships. Gosh, maybe I need to cut some slack...

Words of Wisdom~

From Aneki >w<:

Cars have accidents and so do humans. That's why there's something call a crush.

Cosfest '08: Supaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Henshin!!!!!

2008-07-08T23:18:00.005+08:00

Last Saturday and Sunday was damn fun lols~

For picture's pls refer to this blog (since I'm too lazy to upload too many pics haha): Phyllo's Blog

We took one hour to prepare. Spidey had to prepare our stuffs and do maintenance, then we was the last to dress up. Props to him for making us look good ^_^V

Then me, Kei and Shinji went to test the water 1st. We got flooded with lights and proceeded to head back. Mission accomplished, lol. We even got stickers of approval XDDDD

The skit went badly tho. Saddening T_T

But in the end we all had fun. We played in the arcade after the event. Daytona was really amazing XD Ashley got 1st in Beginner course, then got last in Advanced course. LOLOLOL

To the Arrancar Cosfest '08 team: You guys were awesome. Rock on, dudes~

School = Fun??

2008-04-10T21:33:00.002+08:00

Whoa, today's the 1st class that I really had a lot of fun! Amazing...

I think I won't skip any classes most likely this time round. Especially when I have a lot of burdens off my back, and school is just starting to get interesting. X3

(Well, that's subject to how sleepy and lazy this cat is~)

Anyways, I left school with Chiru and talked to her about some private stuff. Somewhere along the lines of "lightning struck twice". And maybe I said a bit too much, b'cos apparently my luck ran against me later that night. I won't say too much, but feel free to nudge me online to find out more. +_+

Revived.

2008-03-31T22:40:00.002+08:00

Yups, just like it says. XD

Today was kinda fruitful, cosplay item-finding-wise. I got my yellow pants for Afro! +_+

Went with Sloth and Phyllo to NAFA because Sloth wanted to register there. Very ma fan nia. Pay for entrance, then pay for tests, then pay for who-knows-what-else. -is blur-

Luckily I didn't meet anyone familiar while I was there; it'll feel very awkward~

Then Sloth left us at Suntec and we went to Marina Square KFC to meet Chiru and Ah Fu for lunch. Now I'm broke. GEH.

After I went home, my family went out to Bedok to have dinner. The huge deep-fried prawns and mushroom grilled chicken were SUPER. Hurhur~

Kays. 1st post on a long time. I should post once every 2 days. Possible because school's starting soon, and I tend to get bored there >_<

Oh noes, I've turned 19. XD

2008-01-19T23:11:00.000+08:00

Monopoly.

2008-01-17T11:53:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I overslept, so I didn't go for Photography class... :3

I went to Shinji's house instead to help him smash up his copper scythe handle. Too bad he asked me to do it when I'm in a happy mood. Otherwise, I'd finish it faster, hahax~

Then we went to MOC and played Monopoly. By the end of the game, there were me, Shinji, Seturu and Jinggong left. I got about $50000 by the time MOC was closing down, lolx.

Wanna know why?

Jinggong kept landing at Ardmore Road, and Setsuru kept landing at Orchard road. So they kept paying me more than $10000 every time. XDDDD

Before the end of game. I'm filthy rich. X3

And the funniest thing that happened was everyone kept landing at Geylang Road. I was the owner, so i kept getting "prostitute" money, haha. but $20 everytime... >_>

On 11th January 2008.

2008-01-12T00:24:00.000+08:00

Something happened. I shall not say it right now, 'cause now's not the right time to say it. ^^

But it was the happiest time I ever had~

Don't know what it is? I'll give you guys a hint.

Quoted from http://madmattie.blogspot.com and advertised by Chiru (LOL):

"Love is complex. It can hurt.. it can make you feel on top of the world.. it can and will put you through experiences and emotions you’ve never felt before. But you can never define what love truly is.. cause its not meant to be explained.. its meant to be felt."

Um... OMG.

2008-01-10T10:51:00.000+08:00

I just did something unexpected yesterday. I don't want to say it now. Maybe if you're a close friend of mine, I'll tell you in person. ^^||

Moving on, I have finished my god-damn PP!!! Woots~ I didn't fare too bad IMO. I'll probably pass XDDD -ego mode-

My PP Poster. A bit plain nia~

I went to play at DBG arcade after that. I skipped 3rd meeting for class >_<

GFV4 Results~

Woots. Glide 1 great. ^^V

Had another cool score the day before too:

Wahahahahaha. Gonna spam this in Battle Mode. The 1.3K'ers shall bow down to Neko-Sensei X3

Then I went to MOC. KNN, I was still sick and a bit blur, I took the wrong bus. I ended up in front of CHIJMES. Had to walk freakin' far to Suntec then. I was sweating like mad in the end. >_>

I met Zaku there. We did talk about a lot of stuffs, things that happen in this Singapore right now, such as relationships, smoking, drinking bla bla bla~ I had my own opinions on it, but I also do listen to what others have to say. I was more serious than any other time during that convo, haha.

Then went shopping with Kuromi to get her "Karate gi". (It's actually a bathroom robe LOL~) I can't believe she chionged everything in 3 days. Today's the 4th day, and she's still looking for it. Have to go out later again then. I'm hungry and felt the urge to eat at LJS~

My my, New Year...

2008-01-07T08:11:00.000+08:00

I'm blogging in my classroom now. School has just resumed. >_> Never mind, I must grit and hang on, 'cause there's only 4 more weeks left. RAWR~

Gawd, I'm lacking sleep too. Must try to sleep before 1am nowadays...

Now, I'm leaning my interest a little more towards cosplay and less towards gaming. I dunno why, but there's so many good pals in the cosplay side. I've mad some close friends during my 4-5 months into this cool hobby. ^^ And now I've been labeled a "cheapo" cosplayer. LOLOLOLOL~ -dances away-

Oh man, today must chiong FYP proposal. Die laaaaaa~ -faints-

PICTURE SSSSSSSSSSSSPAAAAAAAAM~

2007-12-27T23:31:00.000+08:00

That's all, haha. There's also someone whom I can't ignore for some reason. Don't ask me why~ XP

Photography~

2007-12-06T11:04:00.001+08:00

Yesterday's class was very fun, lolx. We were fooling around with the camera >_<

At the pool table.

Early Christmas, lol.

My good photo. Initial D!!! X3

1. Emo chakra.

2. Burning chakra.

It's closing...

2007-11-30T22:59:00.001+08:00

Orchard library closes today. >_<

And it was the 1st time seeing Gail cry. So... rare. >_<;

Nothing much else happened today. Hope she's much better now, haha.

In other news, I got a freakin' F for the latest Production Practicum lesson lah. F*** lah... I think the rest of the class also kena ler... -smashes wall-

Sentosa.

2007-11-25T23:49:00.000+08:00

It's gonna be a long post again, and I'm so sleepy~

Met Jon 1st to borrow a white collared long-sleeve shirt. Got one from his dad ._.

Then we went to meet Gail at DBG station. Took a train to HarbourFront, 'cause the bus was uber-slow. >.>

Then we met the rest at VivoCity. Messed up Negi's "Sasuke" hair and got chased by him. Me, a commoner, outran a ninja!!! OMG I should be in the Guiness Book of World Records. XDDDDD

We arrived at Sentosa, where I changed into my School Rumble costume. We got very weird glazes from the visitors there, especially with a Sasuke hanging around. XD

Then we went back to square one. Went to play at the water area. Shinji and Blitz tried to push me into it laaa~ Luckily I'm flexible enough to run away from their cluthes. But my left shoulder... T_T Thank goodness it's nothing serious.

After some weird photo-taking sessions, we ate at VivoCity. This is where it got REALLY weird for me.

RAMEN TEN vs. PASTAMANIA

Chiru pulled me over to the P-side while Blitz dragged me to the R-side. My arrrrrrms~ Then I went to the R-side. But then I made a U-turn to the other side. I feel so baaaaaad~ T_T The pizza was amazing though. But I ate 6 out of 8-9 slices. WTF. Jon never tell me to stop. >.>

Then we took the train back home. What a tiring day!!!! >_<

Waiting for the photos to come in from MSN. Ja~

Balloons... And more balloons. >.>

2007-11-24T23:29:00.000+08:00

Today, made the usual library routine at Ngee Ann City with Gail. More mangaaaaas~

Then we headed to Manga Cafe, where Shinji and his Monster Hunter cosplay buddies were. He treated us to spaghetti. Arigatou!!! XD

The manager is a nice person too. At least we have something in common: EPL!!! (Manchester United rocks, btw. HARHAR) But I haven't watch any matches lately. So late; I want my sleeping time, you know...

Then me, Gail and Shinji went to Funan IT Mall, 'cause I was looking for a wireless and portable keyboard. No luck though...

We saw an XBox 360 exhibition at the ground floor. Played Guitar Hero 3. "Through the Fire and Flames" was so... cool. XD Wanted to take a break after 2 songs, but Gail and Shinji told me to play s'more. >.>

Oh ya, Shinji was being funny lor. Answered a question correctly during a contest just to get the bag. I got a towel though ^_^ They then got balloons for themselves. Balloon sword? XDDDDDDD

Then we went to Cineplex at Dhoby Ghaut. Shinji wanted to get some food (I forgot what it was, but it came at 50 cents a piece. Promotion nia) but promotion is tommorrow. Hahah, poor Jiji...

Then we took bus 139 to Toa Payoh before parting ways. Something silly happened though: Shinji bought a ticket to Yishun station, but he went to tap his <$0 EZ-link card. Smart. Very smart. -sarcastic laughter-

Ah, so tiring. There's a photoshoot tomorrow, and I need to pack up my Harima Kenji cosplay stuffs. Too lazy >_<

The Urban Landscape

2007-11-21T16:23:00.001+08:00

Yeah, that was the theme for today's Photography class. >_>

Jason and Xing wanted to take MRT to Orchard. And my EZ-link card has -22 cents. OMG lah. So I had to borrow from Claudia, 'cos she's got concession for both bus and MRT. So good lah. T_T

Now I have just finished class. Waiting for her to finish her class. Year 1s end later. Sucks nia... Oh well, I'm not dropping by Jon's place for his Sakae Sushi treat anyway. XDDDD

Here's my best photo for today's class. Enjoy :)

Borrrrrrrreeeeeeeedddddddd~

2007-11-19T10:24:00.000+08:00

In class now. 800-word essay by 3rd meeting. I feel like "zhao"-ing from class before that. Besides, my laptop's just finished being repaired and is ready for collection. XD

Yesterday, I crashed into Jon's house. So fun nia; play PS2, had udon for the 1st time, then play some more. Haha. And it's only a 3-5 minute bus ride from my house. Power lah!

Before that, I had a Comedy Improv show at the Ecopicnic in RP. Not a bad performance, but the microphones keep screwing up on us. Just like what Vincent said, "They managed to find the worst microphones ever." So true...

Okay, I am SERIOUSLY bored now. -goes back to sleep in classroom-

Camping at the Neko's Pethouse. XD

2007-11-17T22:46:00.000+08:00

Today, 5 people have seen my house. They have created much chaos today, but it was all fun. Too badd it's probably the only time they'll get to see my house. >.>

I first picked up Chiru from Yio Chu Kang interchange. No choice lah; she's a direction idiot. XDDD

Then we played DDR Supernova 2 on Shinji's PS2 for a while till I got a message from Shinso. She bluffed me; said that she was lost in Pasir Ris. Turns out that she was almost reaching my place. >.>

When she arrived, she noticed that her friend's place is at the condo next to my house. Coincidence, lols.

We waited outside for a while more for Negi to come. We gave him the +_+ and he gave back the o_o. Haha.

We then went back to my place, and played more DDR. Negi was frustrated that he couldn't play the songs properly on the D-Pad. x3 speed, what did you expect? LOLs. After that, we played Bleach Blade Battlers. While me and Negi were playing, the other two girls were occupied with PSPs. PSP Revolution lol.

Then after some time, we got hungry, so we decided to order lunch from McDonalds through home delivery. The McSpicy was nice!!!

After a while, Shinji and Kenneth dropped by. We were playing DDR again, this time with the dancing pads. Negi was spastic on the pad, LOLs. Thank goodness my controllers are still okay. >_< Shinji was making my shoes for Jeryy's cosplay during that time. It's almost done now! Need to touch up a bit.

After that, More Bleach!!! Rukia PWNZ man. She's the porno girl, PS2 version XDDD (only Bleach cosplay team members will get the joke, haha)

Then it was dancing time. Each person had their video taken doing a particular dance. I got "Hare Hare Yukai Minoru Version" lah. Forgot all the dance steps ler... T_T

I also practiced Glass no Kantai's OP song "Tsuyoku Tsuyoku" with Shinso. Must prepare for big day!!! Are you up to it? >_<

Then we lastly had dinner. We went to Long John Silvers at Hougang Green. It was so weird there; my food came 1st, and all the rest had to wait for theirs to be ready. In that meantime, almost half my fries were stolen by both "Shin"s. T_T

Shinso suddenly had to leave early, so I accompanied her with my meal on my hand, haha. We talked a bit before I sent her off in her bus. Small kid mah, later scared she 'kena' abducted. >.>

By the time I sent her home, the rest had already finished their meal. So we took 109 back to near my place and separated form them there. Ah, it was so much fun!!! Haven't enjoyed myself for a long time, even though there was much chaos in my house. XDDDD

I'll upload some pictures and videos soon. Stay tuned!!!

Oh ya, Chiru's drink is still in my fridge. Hahax. (Goes to kitchen 'cause Neko is thirsty)

My D.Gray-Man Cosplay's almost done!!!

2007-11-15T09:00:00.000+08:00

I went with Negi to the tailor's house. I found him at Jurong East interchange, only to find out that we are going to Boon Lay interchange after that. Wah kao, I could've taken a bus directly to there lah. >.>

I got my vest from the tailor, and it was perfect. Super!!! (Will upload pictures soon)

Then we got cup noodles (2 per person sia. Very filling XD) and can drinks. I had to buy Anything? because there was only 1 Pepsi left, and I let Negi have it. Must cut down on Pepsi and Coke...

We went to Negi's house soon after. Not bad nia; he's got a lot of treasure, especially trading cards. He's got tons of rare stuff LOL. We played the Bleach PS2 game, and after a while, we thought of something. This is specially for Shinso XDDDD

After that, I went back home. Took 3 buses from Jurong to Hougang. Damn slow lah; I came back at 11 and was half-asleep already... O_o

Really random...

2007-11-14T09:00:00.000+08:00

...

I don't think I'm ready for it yet. o_o

Still addicted to games.

Need to control my urge to spend money on them.

Want to go elsewhere. Want to hang out more with my friends.

And the one I admire.

But how far can I go? T_T

Need to let it all out on somebody. Someone please lend me your ears...

...

Hahax. What am I saying? LOLs.

-strolls off-

Today. Hmmm...

2007-11-10T23:28:00.000+08:00

Today was a long day. And I mean LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG~

Went to my grandma's house first. Had a nice cup of coffee and a conversation with her before heading off to Orchard library. She's still fine and well, thankfully. ^^

I borrowed tons (okay, only 7 lah XD) of manga books, then found Gail rotting in one corner, listening to music while reading. >.>

We then headed over to the DBG arcade for, well, the usual. XD After that, we had lunch at KFC. She kept complaining about how spicy the Cheezy BBQ Meltz would be... -sees crows flying-

The we went to play Audition. Played B-Boy, which was very fun LOL. Then we bought some new accessories for our avatars. After that we played Couple Mode. Always 3 hearts O_o Two hours of fun, haha.

After that session of gaming, I sent Gail back home, and played more Guitar Freaks!!! I've reached my 1140 SP target without Bonus Tracks. Now my double 1.2K SP for Gitadora is really gonna happen... ^^

LATEST: Just went to MSN. Talked to someone new: the girl doing Yachiru. She gave me a new nickname: "miaow-miaow". Now Neko got so many names lah... XD

What's the most important moment for you?

2007-11-07T23:41:00.000+08:00

Today, I went out for the whole day with "xiao mei mei". XD

I was waiting for Gail at the Bishan interchange, then she told me to wait at her bus-stop. 2 stops away from the interchange, wah kaos. Lazy bum. XD

Anyways, we took 54 to Far East Plaza. Then went around the various shops. Haru was closed at that time, damn. Ah well, it was only 11+ am. Then we went to Borders, and scrolled through various sections of books. We were mostly browsing through Music CDs though. We saw a TV showing Ratatouille on the way out. Ratatouille~ >_<

After that, we went to get movie tickets for "The Game Plan". It was 1pm, so we had time to grab lunch at Long John Silvers. The counter person was giving attitude just because I ordered the wrong cup size. What the hell, I think she kena PMS. XDDD

Then we got up to the 6th floor to into the cinema. The movie was not bad; I'd give it 4 stars out of 5. Quite tear-jerking, especially the last few scenes. And oh yeah, this movie's where I got my post title from. ^^

We went to the Zone-X DBG arcade after that. I only had one credit, so made full use of it, sessioning with Fabian (a.k.a. the only person so far who called Gail my younger sister XD). Then we headed next door to play Audition. She's better than me lah. >.> But Maurice spoil the fun lah; he own both of us XD

The Audition part didn't turn out too well at 1st though. 2 reasons why:
1. I forgot my account completely. Had to check my Playpark account to get my account back. Cheesecake...
2. I lost countless times on Battle Party. Only won like, 3 times? T_T

We headed to Daiso soon after. No more masks there, though we were fooling around with the glasses there XD. Gail got a pair of contact lens holders for $2 and we bought 2 cans of cold coffee for $2. I paid $1 and she paid $3. At this time, I was officially flat broke. XD

By the way, Daiso = $2 shop = Godly. HARHAR

The last stop was Takashimaya. We took a bus because Princess Gail could not afford to waste her legs walking there. LOL

We went to the library 1st. Aiya, it's gonna close down at the end of November. So sad, 'cause the manga collection is top-notch. I borrowed Nana and ONE (a manhwa). Good thing my bookloan is doubled till the end of the year, haha. We then went to Takashimaya, where Gail bought a Chinese comic (forgot the title; Gail, tell me te name!!! >_<).

I then took a picture of us in front of Takashimaya to commemorate today's outing. Took a few pictures, because she looks pretty in one picture but Sadako-looking the next. XDDDDD

Here's the best picture I could get, with my flimsy NOKIA camera phone in Night Vision mode, haha. I think we were looking at different directions though. >_<

I then walked her to the Orchard MRT station before parting ways.

This is the 1st in a long time that I've enjoyed the whole day (minus all the minor hiccups XD). My holidays are ending soon, so I better enjoy as much as I can!!! Thanks for hanging out with me, xiao mei mei!!! XDDDDD

(On a last note, I hated the trip back home. 147 was loaded with people cramped like sardines, so I had to take the longer route home, to Ang Mo Kio taking 166, then 159 to my house. >.>)

Go Shorty, It's Your Birthday... XD

2007-11-04T23:38:00.000+08:00

Today was the celebration of Gail's and Charlene's belated birthday party! (Damn long for a belated one though, haha)

I was late for the party, because I had to pick up Princess Charlene from her house, and then wait for her to do her hair before going out. We reached at 3+, when the time to meet for the Bleach team was 2pm. >.>

The party itself was kinda weird. Sandwich, then muffins, then birthday cake. LOL

Then we were all either playing PSP or doing our own things. Kinda like, not really together nia. >.>

After that, we went to Benjamin Sheares Bridge to practice the Sainara and Hare Hare Yukai dance. Kinda tiring, but fun lah.

I talked quite a lot with Charlene while we watched the rest dance. Negi was PSP at one corner too, lol. Then she left 1st to IIDX with Shin and Jerry. >.> Wanted to tag along, but... money bo ah. And also... >_<

I went back home with Gail. We took a bus back while the others got drenched in heavy rain trying to walk to the nearest MRT station, lol. Had a really nice conversation with her. Very fun to talk with, and I don't get tired of it, haha. Hope you enjoy your present!!! Charlene too!!! >_<

Felt good, but sian later...

2007-10-29T20:40:00.000+08:00

I got a copy of "Angelic Concert Encore" for less than 20 bucks!!! OTL.

Went to Plaza Singapura to get the game. The price tag says $29, but I got it for much less. Phew, now I have a lot more money to spend on food and cosplay stuffs when I sneak into Malaysia next week. :3

Before that, I was playing at the DBG arcade. AGAIN. but I only played 1 game of DMV4. I spammed GFV4 more, dunno why. Maybe I got tired of playing that drum game, haha. Anyways...

MWAHAHAHA!!! Finally done it. On the 1st try s'more. PLayed Onihime twice, got 80% skill twice. W00ts.

10 more points to 1.1K!!! After that, I shall do a double 1.2K!!! DM's settled, so on to GF...

And I had a pleasant surprise while taking bus 147 back home...

The girl in front of me was watching SCHOOL RUMBLE!!!! SR rules y'all.

But when I came back home, Shinji told me that Gail was on MSN, but logged out much earlier before I got back home. Haiz, so sad...

But anyways, HAPPY 15TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! The Bleach team will hopefully have a party for you and Charlene once you come back from China. Take care, little one!!! :3

Here Comes the Moneeeeeeeeyyyyyy!!! (NOT)

2007-10-29T00:08:00.000+08:00

Crap man. I'm almost broke.

Today's reason for me going out to Plaza Singapura was to get birthday presents for Charlene and Gail. October babies lol. And also a bit of arcade to relieve stress >_<

Went to DBG Zone-X, and saw a few familiar people, namely cosplaying pals and gaming pals. Too manya to mention, haha. Then I had dinner with Fabian at KFC. Been a long while since I ate 2pc chicken. I always buy the Student's Zinger meal everytime I step in there. Budget meals FTW. XD

We were having a long discussion on people that have been missing and reported on some notice boards. There's been too many of these occurances lately. And from what I've noticed, NO MALAYS ARE REPORTED MISSING. From what I've seen on about 5 "missing people" notice boards. Strange. I mentioned to him about someone telling me that they were taken away, then Jesus would return with them to save the people during Doomsday. My friend was quite skeptical about the amount of truth in such information. Of course, I was too.

After the long talk, we were looking for presents for the 2 ladies, whom we kept calling "the Emo girl" and "the Malay girl". XDDDD Anyways, while looking for them in a gift shop, we were talking about relationships and yada yada. We both had good advices for each either; it was really good as we were both experienced in a way. Fabian's already attached to a girl, and I read books about relationships (and get entagled in my friends' relationship problems as well. >.>)

And I told him about my situation with this girl that I liked. But the thing is, there's that "religion" issue if I want to be with her. Haiz...

After about 10 minutes seraching around the shop, I managed to get the presents ready. I'll be getting the gift wrappers and birthday cards soon.

(And also the Angelic Symphony Encore game that I saw at Comics Connection just now. Me waaaaaaaaaaant~)

Yewwwwww Teeeeeeeeeeeee~

2007-10-25T17:13:00.000+08:00

(No, this post is not about the place, but UT: Understanding Test. Sounds similar nyaaa~)

I got like, a freakin' D for Storywriting UT1 lah. Damn retarded. I got a conditional pass... T_T

And today's UT1 on Photography was okay. But, I'm afraid that my grades would suck too... x_x

And I'm really bored nowadays. When's my PP gonna be approved!? Varian!!! I wanna do the poster asap... >.>

I got some retarded Chinese virus, and it's a freaking TROOOOJANNNNN... F*^@!!!!! Luckily I somehow managed to delete it, somehow. Kaspersky sucks, Symantec too, and NoAdware didn't help much either. Tracks Eraser File Shredder roxxxxxx~

I think Esmond sent the virus to me when he transferred Adobe Premiere Pro through my PSP. It almost died on me (and my 4.0GB memory stick that I bought a few days ago almost died too. SanDisk s'more. 85 dollars~), but luckily now everything's fine. ESMOND!!! -takes out imaginary sledgehammer-

Some weird meme~

2007-10-23T09:30:00.000+08:00

Taken from Calyx's blog:

Napoleon Hill introduced us to the six ghosts of fear: the basic fears of which every human suffers to a certain degree. They are:

* The fear of POVERTY
* The fear of CRITICISM
* The fear of ILL HEALTH
* The fear of LOSS OF LOVE OF SOMEONE
* The fear of OLD AGE
* The fear of DEATH

Some people tend to suffer only from one specific fear, but most of us are affected by several of them.

Here's my reply on an MSN conversation with Calyx (MSN Sigantures were cut down 'cause they were too long XD):

*{€@LXHT}* says:
so wHich is urs?
-=N:3KO=- says:
hmm..
-=N:3KO=- says:
abt the same as urs
-=N:3KO=- says:
kinda agree wif everything u said
-=N:3KO=- says:
but i have diff opinions on it
*{€@LXHT}* says:
how?
-=N:3KO=- says:
hmm.. how shld i rephrase it..
*{€@LXHT}* says:
taKe ur time to tHink
-=N:3KO=- says:
i dun really bother wif ppl who arent close to me enuff
-=N:3KO=- says:
but when u suddenly lost contact of someone close to u,
-=N:3KO=- says:
it's like, u always tend to feel that something's missing
-=N:3KO=- says:
there's a void somewhere inside yourself
-=N:3KO=- says:
and u wont feel satisfied until you reconcile wif the other person
-=N:3KO=- says:
if something bad happened that caused the loss of love

So, yeah. (>_<)V

WTF. Seriously.

2007-10-22T21:40:00.000+08:00

I'm really pissed with what happened today. And it's been a really long while since my mood went the other way.

Just now, I met my friend 'cause he wanted some PSP games from me. Then he told me a few other people were coming as well. He told me that when he SMS'ed them that I was coming as well, they were quite sian that we all were gonna eat at a fast-food restaurant again. Like, hello! I can eat anywhere, please. Just go wherever you guys want and I'll just follow.

Then since the majority of the group were Chinese, they were mostly talking in a language that I DON'T UNDERSTAND, except when talking to me. WTF.

I was close to boiling point, so I gave some funny excuse that I need to go back home early 'cause my mum asked to, then I went off soon after.

I'm in no mood for any talks with anybody involved in this thing, so like my MSN signature says today, "Some people just threw my mood down the drain today. To these people, please F-O."

I almost ruined the coding in my blog waaaaaaay early today, at about 12.30am. I changed the blod template to the classic one, then realised I couldn't change back. I viewed the blog... and voila, my blog became uglier. T_T Thank god I accidentally recovered my previous layout, somehow.

Woots, I'm at home today. Was already planning to skip today's lesson. My eyebags are getting worse due to the lack of sleep. Okay, I shall sleep earlier today. ^_^

I'm gonna make use of this time to get my cosplay stuffs ready, otherwise I'm gonna cosf*** during EOY. And it's drawing nearer. Luckily the burden known as Professional Profiling is out of my sights. Well, 95% of it. There's still the stupid poster...

~Signs off and goes on MSN to chat with Calyx

OMG...

2007-10-21T21:55:00.000+08:00

My voice just got a bit deeper. I think I'm gonna have a husky voice tommorrow. >_<

And I just noticed that I look better without a beard + short hair. XD

I ate so little today... 1 packet of instant noodles, a few cookies and a Zinger meal. Haiz...

Oh yeah, and have a safe trip in China, Gail!!! Bring back some baby pandas here!!! XDDD

Borinnnnngggg nya~

2007-10-21T00:25:00.000+08:00

Today, I met a lot of different friends, LOL.

Early at about 1pm, I met Calyx for her Professional Profiling. She still haven't got a company to interview, and the deadline is 1st Nov... I submitted mine already, so I'm SAFE. XD

But there's still the poster to be done...

Then at 3pm, we parted ways and I went to the arcade. Saw Xiaoboy and Shengtat playing DMGF. I forgot to bring Shengtat his Muv-Luv Alternative DVD again!!! Aiya... Next time ah? ^_^

Then at about 7.15pm, I left for Orchard Sakura. I had dinner with some of the Bleach Cosfest cosplay people. The buffet was nice!! Went from Japanese (sushi) to Italian (pizza) to Japanese again (sashimi and tempura). Yummy~

Then we went back to the arcade and I saw Maurice. He's fooling around, as usual. :3

But I felt that today was a boring day, honestly. Sorry to any guys reading this and met me today. I'm just not in the "go out and meet friends" mood. I have not much motivation to play Drummania or Guitar Freaks nowadays, and I've gotten quite irritated with having plans set, then scapping them at the last minute. It's not funny nya~

But I don't blame anyone (I think you might cry for reading this, Shinji, so don't XD) for it. Something's going on in my head, but I can't seem to tell what it is... x_x

Slacking~

2007-10-19T12:23:00.000+08:00

Today's class is really... We are all slacking. >_<

Character Design is fun, but it's Friday. Aiya. There's only 2 groups, but 7 to 8 in each group. It's very messy nya~ x_x

I prefer the standard 5 per group. There's 15 people, so 3 groups sounds feasible... right? The guys wanna end class early, that's why...

UT's coming soon. I haven't studied either. Then again, I always study last minute and refer to 6Ps during the tests. Come on, it's more of common sense and understanding the theory. XD

-Goes back to slack-

Game Review: Love Hina Advance

2007-10-19T08:21:00.000+08:00

Company: Nintendo
Type: Visual Novel
Language: Japanese
Rating: Worksafe

Info: This is a choose your own adventure-type game. You are the main character, Keitaro Urashima. Keitaro's been trying to get into Tokyo University, mostly because of a promise he made to a girl when he was young. However, he's already failed the entrance exam... TWICE! Not yet wanting to go home, he heads off to his grandma's inn, the Hinatasou, only to learn that it has become a...
The objective of this game is to get one of the girls (Naru, Shinobu, Kitsune, Su, Motoko, Mutsumi, and Sara) to fall in love with you. As you progress through the game, you will be asked to make choices. The girls will like orhate you depending on the choices you make. Make a right choice, and you willgain Hearts. Make the wrong choice, and you lose Hearts. You might alsobe on the recieving end of some abuse! Take too many hits, and the game will end.

Sound: Not too bad, considering the game is limited to the power of the Game Boy Advance. Sakura Saku sounds nice as a midi version XD. Also, the other tunes do create the mood of the story as it goes along, making it more enjoyable for the reader.

Gameplay: This is the game's unique feature. Like any other visual novel, you would have to select one out of two or more choices. However, the only difference is that you have a timer running down while doing so. If you pick the wrong choice or don't select at all, you lose up to 2 lives. You lose if all of your 7+ lives are gone. Cool concept, huh? The hardest choices are actually the ones involving Motoko. You have only 0.5 seconds to react. What the hell...

Visuals: Well presented too, considering the GBA's limitations. The anime characters are well portrayed here.

Replayability: You have to complete the game with different girls to see the different endings, but each girl only has one ending. Still, this game would be able to last you for a few days.

Overall: Try it out. It's an old-school game, but it really is one of the more unique visual novels out there. Plus, there's an English fan-translated patch for non-Japanese speaking fans of Love Hina. Go get it here.
