Here it is, the music video for "The Future Freaks Me Out" by Motion City Soundtrack. I forgot to put it in the last post. Enjoy!


Use Google to find the lyrics if you need them, don't be lazy lol.
Well, here is my favorite part of the song, just for your information =)

Betty it’s so hard to relate
To the whole human race
I don’t know where to begin
I don’t know where to begin
If we can both find a way
To do the things that we say
We might not sit in our rooms
And drink our daydreams away
Betty, I’m a dreamer
I’m not a vicious schemer
Oh Betty won’t you.. ah fuck it

Interesting, I too have no idea where to begin.... to study of course =)

Well what do ya know, a change of music.

If you wanted to know what kind of music I liked, this is one kind. I have no idea what you guys would call it, but rock in general Da?

On a side note, I love Motion City Soundtrack, there is not a single song from them which I do not like. They are probably one of my favorite bands, and I started listening to them since Secondary 2? Yep, Secondary 2.

Their music is slightly different from others as they will talk in some of their songs.

Maybe next time I could show you...

Just thought that I'd apologize to anyone whom I have been a major disappointment to. I should have apologized BEFORE the New Year, but I forget, sorry for that too. No one is perfect, Schildkrote knows I'm not.

And please please please guys, just because I'm not smiling means I am angry and being emo. Smiling all day makes you look stupid, don't believe me? Try it nao and see!

The Many "Me"s
Tuesday, January 27, 2009, 10:22 AM

Second day of the New Year, one day before school, and here I am, talking to you. So do sit down and listen, if you may.

Of course this would be a special post, since it is the second day of the New Year, and today I'm here to talk about, The Many "Me"s. Everyone is doing it (or at least everyone I know on the Internet), so here is mine =)

To start things off simple, each person, whether we are aware of it or not, have 2 main types of personalities.

A Persona.
and a Shadow Side.

I'm not making this up, but basically, the Persona is the personality you display towards the public, towards your friends, possibly your family. In other words, it is the side of you in which you subconsciously WANT others to look at and accept. It means to be the person you want people to think you are.

A person's Shadow Side is all the nasty things or disgraceful things which you do not want people to see. You try to keep it hidden through all methods, but you do not want to forget about those things you did, strangely enough. Sometimes people keep memories of their Shadow Side within their diary's, or just plainly inside their head, for no one to see. It is the side of you which you DO NOT want people to know. You may want to let your family know, or you may not.

Branching from these 2 main categories, you then have a whole bunch of personalities that could be a persona, or a shadow side. Bear in mind that a personality which you try not to let anyone see is a Shadow Side personality, it can be a good personality, but its considered a Shadow Side because you try not to let anyone see it. Same for Personas, it could be a naughty personality but if that's how you behave towards people, its a Persona.

And here I will present you you, The Many "Me"s, the many personalities I have, have you seen them all? I bet you haven't =)

Persona:
The Joker - Cracks jokes and laughs with friends. Not to be confused with The Arm Twister. Seen everywhere.

The Arm Twister - Makes fun and "pokes" friends. Involves being sarcastic most of the time. Some consider it a mean thing to do, others follow along. Not to be confused with The Joker. Seen everywhere.

The Workaholic - Just does homework. Not to be confused with The Mugger. Usually seen at home.

The Bookworm - Reads books. Usually violent books. Not to be confused with The Nerd.

The Blue Bomber - Feeling blue, bored and lazy. Just bombs everything I'm told to do, don't feel like doing. Not to be confused with The Slacker. Usually seen at home.

The Slacker - Tries to get out of tasks, refuses to volunteer for anything, rejects being a leader. Not to be confused with The Blue Bomber. Usually seen in school.

The Liar - Nothing to say about this one. Just hope you don't get it =) Though you probably won't know even if you did get it.

The Sleeper - Sleep lor. Usually seen in school, not at home, contrary to popular belief.

The Mysterious - Don't tell you. Usually seen by everyone. Sometimes I mean it as a joke, sometimes I'm serious. JC friends and above usually get the serious one.

The Kid - EVERYONE should have this personality, be it a Persona or a Shadow Side. EVERYONE. Basically, you just behave childishly, like watching Power Rangers, which I do =) I just happen to show this to people. Usually seen by secondary school and primary school friends. Any friends past that hardly see it.

The Silent Treater - I basically just hand out The Silent Treatment. It could be because I'm shy, or I do not feel like talking to someone. Note that only 1 or 2 people get it at a time, not everyone. Usually seen by JC friends and SOME family members. Primary and Secondary school friends WILL NOT see this, I promise.

The Devil - You do not want to see this. Though some people already have. Basically I just throw fireballs at your face, metaphorically speaking. Usually seen in a junior college. Secondary and primary school friends WILL NOT see this, I promise. Not to be confused with The Direly Pissed.

The Direly Pissed - I am direly pissed off. Run. Run now, while you can. This is the only Persona in which I might punch somebody, although that is a last resort. Not to be confused with The Devil.

Shadow Side:
The Thief - Doing things which I cannot tell people. For example, buying something my family cannot know about. Usually never seen.

The Backstabber - What do you know. I talk behind people's backs too =) However, I am still giving my opinion, I do not Judge. Big difference. Usually never seen.

The Possessive - When I say do not touch my things, do not touch my things. I am possessive of my belongings. There is a reason for this, because sometimes my mum throws away the important things I need. Usually seen at home, the public doesn't see this.

The Cheater Type 1 - Cheating during a test. That's about it. Usually never seen (you wouldn't know).

The Submissive - I do something when I'm told. Occurs when my parents are unhappy. Usually never seen.

These are the Shadow Sides I can tell you but cannot show you. I left out those I cannot tell you and cannot show you. Those are really dark. Everyone has those dark secrets.

I mean, "WHAT IS A MAN BUT A MISERABLE PILE OF SECRETS?" - Count Dracula

Some Personas which I have observed but I do not practice, because they just aren't my cup of tea. I cannot "observe" Shadow Sides, otherwise why would they be called Shadow Sides? The're not meant to be seen.

The Angel - Sucks up to somebody, be it a teacher or a relative. I usually use The Arm Twister to attack such a person. This person does not deserve The Devil and The Direly Pissed. Do not be such a person in front of me.

The Crybaby - When I do not give this person something or do something that he/she asks. That person will sulk, complain and make noise. What am I, your maid? I don't feel like doing, you better shut up. I usually deal with people with such personalities using The Silent Treatment or The Devil. This person does not deserve The Direly Pissed.

The Idiot - Doing something which gets the rest of the people in trouble, along with me. My friends sometimes fall into this category. Probably doesn't mean anything, so... The Arm Twister.

The Flirt - Just what it is. No comment.

The Backstabber - Says horrid things and attacks me behind my back. These kind of people are hard for me to catch. But when I do, I'll actually do nothing. Its your opinion, I'll respect that. Though I would appreciate if you tell me first, I won't blame you. Maybe I would, but oh well...

The Judge - I do not hate someone with this personality, but usually such a person doesn't get along with me too well, because I am not used to judging people, only giving my opinion.

The Cheater Type 2 - Cheating on your lover. I have no lover, not even a love interest or a crush. So forget it. I wouldn't understand this so no explanation.

The Gossiper - Only girls get this. Boys Backstab instead. Not to be confused with The Backstabber, The Gossiper usually never talks about bad things, but instead things which other people cannot hear, as though people really want to hear it. The Backstabber, however, says bad things EVERY TIME.

The Nerd - What can I say?

The Vain - Spends a lot of time dressing up, for what? Asking one's parents to buy contact lenses because spectacles are too ugly. My sister, is one such person. Boys are also subject to this, as long as you spend more than 15 minutes with your hair everyday, and after every hour you need to go to the toilet to check your hair, you have this Persona, like it or not.

The Mugger - Ahh I saved you for last mugger. The mugger, a complex human being which can either be a robber or someone that studies really hard, not to be confused with The Nerd. Usually seen at libraries or McDonald's. You cannot miss them. I repeat, you cannot miss them. You know one when you see one.

If you have read all the way until here, congratulations. Sign on the Guest Book "=)" and your name if you read here till the very end. Happy New Year =)

Power to the People!!
Saturday, January 24, 2009, 11:41 PM

Well, apparently you guys have spoken lol =)

1 week ago, I posted a YouTube bulletin encouraging people to vote for the next song on my blog, in other words what the public wishes to hear. And the winning entry based on the most votes, well I must say that I am surprised.

"Pictures of You" by "The Last Goodnight"

I do not really like this song I must say, but it could be due to the fact that I do not really appreciate mainstream music. But hey, you guys are the ones reading the blog, not me, so don't say I never did anything for you =)



It came with a music video. Also, the next time I post another bulletin to vote for a new song, the same band can't win again. Those are the rules.

Fun facts of the Story...
12:54 PM

Alright. now that the story is done. Here are some interesting(I think) things about the story and storytelling that you might be interested to know. Otherwise don't read, simple right?

1. I found this book in Kinokuniya, 2 years ago, at a price of $29.90. You can see that its not a very long story, yet it has a price tag of close to 30 dollars, much more expensive than my 700-page Warhammer books =)

2. I posted all the Chapters, except Chapter 7. Justin posted Chapter 7.

3. Razgriz is also known as "The Demon of the Northern Sea".

4. The story is also available on the Internet, however it has many typo errors. Pictures of the story on my blog are from the same site which features the story. At first I wanted to scan the pictures from the book into my computer, but since the Internet has them, use lor =)

5. The book has a red string on the spine, for use as a bookmark, I wish books of today still have them.

Not exactly the funniest facts. But oh well.

By the way, which is your favorite character in the story? Your answer says a lot about your personality.

WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME, college?

Chapter XI: The Ending
12:44 AM

In the following morning.
On entering the room, the nursemaid found the dove's body resting in peace beside the Princess.
She twisted her face in surprise and said in a very loud voice.
"O my! Is this her little dove? How come? He was injured and he couldn't flap since then.
These wings were certainly deformed and disabled. How he set off and even came back? What a surprise!"

The dove preciously kept holding a fresh fruit of Orion Poplar in his beak even after he passed away.
The nursemaid decided to plant it in the middle of the garden right under the window of the Princess's room.

In time, it grew to be a big and thick tree with a lot of branches.
It is said that from the top of the tree can the Princess's room and her bird cage be clearly and closely seen.

This is a tiny miracle story that is passed down from branch to branch and from parent bird to baby bird
on the top of the Orion Poplar.

THE END

The emo Neku.

Chapter X: Returning Home
Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 9:01 PM

On arriving at the castle at last, the dove saw people gather and surround the Princess in bed.
There were more people than the last time.
All people were weeping with a grave and sad look on their faces.
Above all, the king was crying out in sorrow.
His crying was almost a groan.

The dove could not deliver.
The Princess had been gone and he felt sad so much.

However, he never felt sorry for what he had done.
He repented of nothing.

Because her face was so calm.
He could tell from the way she looked that she never lost hope to the end and she loved the world.

The dove, fully exhausted of the do-or-die journey, fell asleep, feeling sorrow and somehow calm.

The emo Neku.

Chapter IX: Magic Fruit
Tuesday, January 20, 2009, 7:30 PM

Although the wind turned the tides time and time again against him,
he managed it so as to get back home to the castle in which the Princess was waiting.
Flying up and flying high.
Weaving through the forests and breaking through the clouds.
In order to catch the wind which would carry him home.

He was carrying a mysterious fruit that could become what the holder wished it to become.
Or rather.
He was holding tightly in his beak "a medicine which can immediately cure disease of any nature!"

Down below ran the river towards the horizon.
Far beyond the horizon were a forest and a castle which looked familiar to him.

A little bit more!
Just a little bit more and I will see the Princess!
Our happy days are about to begin again!

The emo Neku.

Chapter VIII: Demon from Above
Monday, January 19, 2009, 8:14 PM

The dove gave gratitude and said farewell to the old tree.
He left the rocky mountain with the magic fruit tightly in his beak.
The wind began to blow even stronger.
Then he found himself in a storm and hailstones.

In spite of the terrible weather, he needed to return home as quickly as possible.
He spread out his wings.
He looked a bit more masculine than before.

The emo Neku.

Chapter VII: Old Tree
Sunday, January 18, 2009, 1:31 AM

When the dove struggled and made his way at last to the mountain, an old tree just began to speak up to himself.
"An ominous wind is blowing. Is it finally here? Has time come for an old tree like me to fall down?
The demon of Razgriz... hmm... a great hero this time?"

"What is it?"
The dove asked with a calm voice.

"When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself.
First as a dark demon."
The tree began to tell the same story that the dove heard in the castle.
"As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land,
and then it dies.
However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero."

"Demon? Hero? What does it do?"
"When I saw it for the first time, I was young and thin. I had fewer branches then.
In those days, humans often battled against each other.
Razgriz not only brought about a tempest which kept raging for seventy days
but also kept scattering hailstones from above.
Trees and grass perished and nothing was left for humans and animals to live on.
Consequently the soil was in ruins. All living things died one after another.
My friends, four-legged beasts, humans and let alone birds like you.
Everything in this land was deprived of breath.
In the end, Razgriz murdered no other than itself.
Shortly after, this place turned into nothingness."

"It wan an evil being, wasn't it?"
".... Nay."
The old tree answered, as if he was not certain himself.
He breathed out and took a deep breath in.
"This story still continues.
After a long long time passed since this land died, there was a traveler.
The traveler cured those who suffered disease, resurrected the soil,
gathered all those people who sheltered themselves away from here.
They founded a village and a town.
The rivers were full of water.
The soil became a wheat field.
This land was once again at peace.
Thereupon, the traveler decided to leave the village.
The villagers were far from happy about this.
At the moment of departure, they heard the traveler say, "I am... Razgriz."
This marks the end of the story."

"I am here in need of a magic fruit."
The dove finally told the old tree about it.

"... Alright. There are few fruits left for me, you can take one, though.
By the way, Have you any idea why this is called a magic fruit?"
The dove remained silent, gazing at the old tree.

"This can become not only a medicine but also a poison.
Or rather, this may be no more than a fruit and this may even change into a stone."
"What do you mean?"
"This fruit will become what you believe it to be."

The dove turned around to look for the castle.
Even beyond the furthest hill, it was still unseen, though.

"The ominous wind is blowing stronger. Fly carefully home."

The emo Neku.

Chapter VI: Tortoise
Saturday, January 17, 2009, 3:00 PM

On arriving at the lake, he met the tortoise.
"It is good to to have a carapace. This has enabled me to survive a lot of dangers.
There are some birds that wear carapaces, aren't there?"
"You mean a cage? It's not like yours. It bans us from outside. Many of us want out. I was in there too."
"Why on earth did you get out of it and jeopardise yourself? The best way to live long is stay away from anything dangerous.
Hazards can hit you even if there is nothing to be blamed on your end.
When you are in trouble, you need to be like this. Wait till everything subsides. Don't even think about moving around."
Said the tortoise, with his limbs folding into his carapace.

"It is no solution!"
"Well!"
The tortoise said with a loud voice and went on,
"Can every problem be solved? Are you sure of it so much?
Everything has its end, good or bad.
When the sun is shining, you better enjoy as much sunlight as you can.
In ice-cold winter that freezes your teardrops, you must endure with everything you've got.
The sun will rise again. We are mortals and that is all the mortals can do.
Hmm? A weird wind has begun to blow. I have a feeling that something wicked is coming."
He said and pulled his head into his carapace.

"I am looking for a tree that bears a magic fruit."
The dove said to the wise tortoise.

"There are rocky mountains far beyond the other end of this lake. Can you see?
The fourth peak from the top of the highest mountain in the middle, you can go there."

He took a look over there and got a blurred image of it.

"Believe!"
The tortoise said.
"Believe whatever it may be. I believe in this impregnable carapace of mine more than a magic fruit."

The emo Neku.

Chapter V: Green Worm
Friday, January 16, 2009, 8:22 PM

"I myself can fly. I know that I can't fly as high as you, but I do fly."
The green worm suddenly said a strange thing.
"You have no wings. So you just can't fly."
"You are wrong. I can. I become a pupa and I will have my wings. That's why I can fly."
"But not for now."
"There is no difference between flying today and flying tomorrow. You couldn't fly either when you were an egg, could you?"
When I become a pupa, I will have myself wings. The size of my wings is the same as that of my moult I obtain
before I turn into a pupa. Once I have wings, my legs become small and weak. Then I will not be able to walk around like this. That's why I keep moving and watching everything about this tree."

"I am searching for a tree that bears a magic fruit."
He said to the green worm.
"I met a tortoise here. He looked wise. He told me that he was usually hanging about at the lakeside beyond this forest.
He probably knows something about it. He may be wise but he has to be locked up in his carapace until he dies.
He will not have wings. His memory is as old as his age. It remains for ever."

Far far away. Just over the forest. There was a lake shining under the light of sunset.

The emo Neku.

Chapter IV: Lark
Thursday, January 15, 2009, 6:35 PM

The dove first reached a forest in the north of the castle.
"Looks like you are in such a hurry, but your flying is not smooth."
Said the lark who just came over from behind.
He responded to the lark.
"No wonder. I lived in a cage for a long time. I'm proud that I can fly somehow."
"Cage is no good."
The lark said abruptly.
"We've got wings, right? They can take you anywhere you want and anytime you want.
That's how it has to be. Look at the world. It's so big."
He asked the lark.
"Don't you think the sky is dangerous? There are hawks and peregrines up here.
What if they are after you? And on the ground there are foxes, raccoon dogs and cats."
"Let me ask you something. Can you eat something you wanna eat if you are confined in a cage?"
One day you feel like eating worms and the other day you wanna have yourself some rosehips.
Suppose you no longer have someone to feed you. There is no point in talking about "safe" and "dangerous".
It is if it's because of "you" or "someone else" when you go through with something that counts."
"Is is that good to know that the world is big?"
"The world is what your eyes can see. It then becomes your world. So knowing it more will make you better.
You can count on it."
The lark said all this neatly, but seriously at the same time.

He said to the lark.
"I am searching for a magic fruit."
"Ain't got a clue. Why don't you ask that green worm down there? O what a pity!
I never wanna be something like that. it can move but all it can get a hand on is one single tree.
That tree is the entire world for that thing."

He looked down and found something green crawling on a tree just beneath.

Chapter III: Thoughts of the Dove
Wednesday, January 14, 2009, 6:53 PM

While caring about the Princess and looking back upon the days spent with her,
an old memory flashed across the dove's mind.
It was the story that Mom told him before she died.

"Somewhere in the world is a big tree and its magical fruits can cure every injury and every disease."
"It is far far away, deep down into rocky mountains that no man can ever step foot in."
"There surely is."

That magic fruit can cure her disease and save her life.
He thought.
She will be back well if I can get it.

The more he thought of it, however, the less confident he felt.

"Can I escape from hawk and peregrine when they are after me?"
"Can I fly up to the mountains so far away and even get over them?"
"Can I simply fly for such a long time?"
"Can I really carry the fruit with this small beak of mine even if I am lucky enough to get there?"
"Can I manage to make it back in one piece?"

He could not help harboring these bad feelings deep down inside.
There was no blaming him for this.
Having been protected all the time by the Princess since the injury,
all he did was keep hanging around in the tiny little bird cage.

In the meantime, the Princess got worse day by day.

The next morning, an old nursemaid came to feed the dove on behalf of the Princess.
She opend the cage just a little as she was about to feed the dove.
He was watching her doing it with a determined look on his face.
Thereupon, he took a chance and got out of the cage.

Flying through the room door and flying across the castle walls,
the dove was heading for the sky high above.

He heard the nursemaid shout "O dear!" from behind.

Was he finally free from the fear of hawk and peregrine?
Definitely not.
Had he the idea what course to take?
Absolutely not.

Nevertheless, he took desperate flight.
Just in pursuit of the magic fruit.

Chapter II: Disease of the Princess
Tuesday, January 13, 2009, 6:37 PM

The dove was so happy with the days there and hoped that it would continue for good,
but at some point everything began to change.
The Princess, who was always in good shape and made it a habit to come to him many times a day,
did not show up even once on that day.
She did not come up and feed him until the end of the day.

On the following day.
Early in the morning, the dove saw many noblemen gather around the Princess.
They all had an anxious look on their faces.
It seemed that the Princess got a disease.
She may not be able to get well.
She may possibly pass away.
How can this happen when the neighboring country just ceased warfare?
How can this be when the peace of the world is close at hand?
The men were talking about all this.

"The demon of Razgriz!!"
One of them suddenly spoke up in a loud voice.

"When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself, first as a dark demon.
As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies."

"However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time as a great hero."

"Only the demon of Razgriz can do this to her!"

Thinking about how healthy she looked on the previous day and how seriously these men cared about her,
the dove felt uneasy then more than ever.
She may disappear.
She may not wake up to come see me.
These sad feelings lingered on in his mind.

Chapter I: The Beginning
Monday, January 12, 2009, 8:52 PM

This is a tiny miracle fairy tale that was passed down to only some people.

Once upon a time.
There lived a dove in a castle in a country where greens and warmth prevailed.
The dove had been taken care of by a Princess since she found the young dove injured
in the castle garden.

The dove was injured so badly that it felt like his wings were torn off.
The pain was all over his body and he could do nothing but laid himself on a leaf bed.
It was the Princess who saved him then.
She carried him into a small cage which was hung up near the window
in the corner of the Princess's room.
Despite living inside the cage, he was far from frustration.
The Princess always gave him close attention and the scenery through the window was wonderful.
More importantly, he could enjoy watching every move she made.
Having recovered from the injury, he became healthy enough to jump around inside the cage.

Gather around, kids...
Sunday, January 11, 2009, 8:34 PM

Gather around, I'm about to tell a story. Its a fairy tale. But unlike most fairy tales in books, this one doesn't have too happy of an ending. In one of my previous posts "A little blue dove for the princess", I mentioned about a book of that same title.

I finally know who wrote that book, because interestingly enough, the author's name is at the back!Written by Ellinor Graun, its a short fairy tale with 11 chapters. I only know of 2 people who have that book. Me and a good friend called Tun Jiang.

I know of people who want to read this book, at least one, Freya from the United Kingdom.I live in Singapore, so I have no choice but to read it out to you here. Though everyone should listen, its a good but short read.

As I have mentioned, there are 11 chapters. I will post one chapter a day starting tomorrow. When I'm done, it would be nearly Lunar New Year, so look forward to the ending of the story as well as the New Year =)

Hopefully I remember to post everyday.... Heres a picture from the book on page 2.



If you are wondering about how I got the picture, wait till I finish the story and I will follow up with a fun facts post, addressing most(hopefully) of your doubts and questions.

Well, to be blunt, I found the music video for Maximo Park's "Apply Some Pressure", so I might as well put it here to entertain you.

The interesting thing is, there are 2 versions! Double the fun! Its REALLY REALLY RARE to see a band create 2 music videos of the same song, so enjoy.

The first video is their first version, and the second video is their second version, what am I saying? The first version is slightly shorter. Weird.

No really, the video is really entertaining, in the way they sing the song =)




I hope that I'm still alive next year =)

Just a quick update, this blog will have varying conditions as of now.

Heres a quick view of the status quo:

Condition Green: Everything is per normal
Condition Yellow: Same as Green, just sending out a warning to troublemakers
Condition Orange: Chat Box will be removed, no exceptions
Condition Red: Playlist will be removed, blog will require authorization

If push comes to shove, the blog will be closed and its content moved somewhere else, be it Youtube or another blog.

The current condition of the blog can be viewed on the profile section on the blog, this is done to warn trolls.

How come I keep seeing silly people in real life and the internet lately? Geez...

On a total unrelated note, the playlist has been rehashed once again, this time its here to stay, although there is something unique about it. Every once in a while, me or a friend of mine will pick a new song and replace the current one and the previous song moves down the playlist. So not to worry, all the good stuff remains there. As for the first 2 songs, I picked my favourite from an entire playlist from the past, namely.

The Opened Way from my SoTC playlist
Absorbed By the Glasses from my MK playlist

Then its 11h30 by Danger, which was the previous song on this blog before being replaced by Maximo Park =)

Everytime you enter the blog, the first (and latest) song will auto-play, no shuffling enabled. So you can see which songs I put on my blog in the past.

Enjoy flipping back =) And heres a good one...


This is a REALLY REALLY exclusive video. You either grow up watching these, or you don't. This video pretty much sums up close to half of my childhood. The other half? Don't tell you. Not yet.

My favourite transformation would have to be the SPD one, from 5:12 to 6:11 on the video.

All Hell's breaking loose...

For a couple of reasons, personal and non-personal, I am under a lot of stress lately.

It might just be the right time for me to take a break off the internet, off Youtube. A lot has happened within the last few days. And troll attacks aren't helping.

On a lighter note, songs on my blog are now limited to ONE, however, that song on my blog at that point in time may or not not be chosen by me. It doesn't matter who chose the song, what matters is I like it so I put it on my blog. It will change on average 2 weeks to a month. I could take down songs used previously, just in case you guys miss out =)

The pause button is there for a reason, for people who do not want to listen to the song. Complain about it and I will come down on you hard, note to trolls.

Seriously trolls, if you come and create trouble on Youtube, the forum or even here, I will hunt you down.

For the rest who have no idea, a troll is someone who walks around the internet writing nasty things on blogs, forums, and giving nasty comments on Youtube videos. Trust me, you won't like them.

I'm not done yet...

I am far from done. Far from finishing playing, and far from finishing my homework.

=)

Watched Yes Man last Saturday. Wasn't as good as The Sky Crawlers. In fact, me and my good buddy Yuchen were thinking between Ponyo, Transporter 3 and Yes Man. As for Transporter 3, you'd think by the third movie, Jason Statham would know the kind of cargo he would be transporting, but no. Whats a hollywood movie without women huh? I saw the third poster and I was like "Come on!".

Bottomline, hollywood just wants more of our money. Don't look away Hollywood, you know I'm talking about you, you money grabbing...

After that we visited 2 arcades, and just went crazy I guess.

Shortly after we went to the cinema level in Plaza Singapura and we saw a lot of model kits, but some of which caught our eyes like "I wanna buy it right now but I have no money" kind of caught our eyes.

We saw many SRW figurines and AC figurines. As such..



Dygenguar and Nineball-seraph, 2 of the great things we saw. We saw God of War and some Gears of War too, along with Halo, Gundam, Zoids and whatnot, but I'm only interested in AC and SRW.

I swear they look so buyable.

Changes...
Thursday, January 1, 2009, 6:46 PM

So its the first day of the New Year 2009. This blog will be undergoing re-formation soon. I'm considering acquiring more administrators onto this blog so that more sharing takes place. Then again, a separate blog might be created then this blog shall remain personal about myself. But we'll see...

Also, apparently people seem to be celebrating about 2009's arrival. Why? I fail to see and comprehend the rationale, I mean ushering 2009 means you're one year older, one year more mature (hopefully), and one year closer to dying. Pardon my bluntness, but isn't that the case?

Honestly, the only time I look forward to a day is when:

1. I'm going out to play that day
2. Something I want is for sale on that day
3. No school that day, which is like every weekend and the holidays
4. Something big is going on over Youtube and the internet that day
5. Exams are over.
6. My birthday, sure I'm one year older and closer to dying, but I get presents.

Apart from that, celebrating the New Year? I might as well celebrate everytime a new month comes. OH YAY ITS FEBRUARY! NEW MONTH! You see where this is going? Or even better, celebrate every day, OH MY GOD ITS TUESDAY, MORE SCHOOL WHOOPIE!

...............


Oh yea, get Patch 3 for FM5 if you guys haven't, its awesome. I might talk more about it on Youtube, but right now I'm just too busy playing it yea =)



Everyone loves the prizes at the bottom of their cereal box =)
