i'm a bit lazy to write stuff, but i'll just write something for the sake of my weekly post commitment.

i lied, i'm not lazy, i'm just a bit busy with assignments, and...too much thought crammed to my mind about my friend's problem. I tried to help her but i just can't find the right word for me to say. its all piling up in me brain
anyhow here's the stuff i found loitering around the net this week

Monocycle - gizmodo.com - I say: iWant
Bacon & more Bacon - I say: ROFL
Police tased guy, set his pants on fire - gizmodo.com - I say: criminals now get 1 more reason to stop doing crimes
Coke Fountain World Record - Various sources - I say: i saw this one coming. I just knew it'll happen eventually when Youtube is created.
Freehand Perfect Circle - 2flashgames.com - I say: wow
Assasin's Creed, I can't quit you - kotaku.com - I say: i know that game's a bit screwed, but i never thought that its so persistent when it comes to quitting.
11 signs you're no longer a hardcore gamer - techradar.com - I say: OMG i'm no longer a hardcore gamer unbelieveable

shut up fool!

ok. i really don't understand whats up with today.

basically, today is just another one of my unexpected free day. i should've been working on the levels of my NWN2 mods, but somehow, i can't squeeze my creativity juice outta my brain, so i decided to get my ass off the chair, take shower, and go out to city take a fresh air. and everything goes downhill. liek srsly

my first plan was to get haircut in Box Hill. i happen to received a free haircut voucher from my friend, so...i thought i could save some money =p anyway, i went to the hairdresser, and asked for a haircut. then just before the hair dresser lady started to do stuff, i asked her whether the voucher i was given is still valid. she said "oh yes, its still valid, but only on weekdays." i was...wha? why don't the cashier dude told me about that earlier? so i told them that i'll come back again sometime on weekdays....maybe. that place is waaaay too far from the train station, might as well find another good & cheap hairdresser.

then after that, i took the train to city. sat down on the corner end of the train and i smell piss. then i moved away. and when i finally arrived in city, i thought....what the hell do i come here for? i saw the Game On exhibition ad on Fed.Square, and i thought....nah, don't have my camera with me. maybe next time. fine. so i decided to kill time in borders reading comics. how lame is that?

then i go home. i have absolutely no idea how this is happening, i'm very very sure its a fricken different train, but it STILL smell like piss. and then there's this...fat lady asking everybody for a dollar to borrow immediately after getting on the train. i thought....man, this is the SECOND time someone asked me for a dollar. i wonder whats up with tha? its seriously bugging my mind and i can't stop thinking about it on the train.

and i got home, took off my jacket, and open the window for fresh, non-piss-odor air. took me quite a while to notice that there's a really really annoying noise coming from a park not far near our house. its soo annoying, listening to *presumably* 14-15 years old girls who's definitely annoying screaming about....something unclear and some random cheering, and....car horn? wait, 4 different car horns? wtf is going on over there?

i actually shout Mr.T's infamous line of "shut up fool!" out of the window. i feel very satisfied by doing that. makes me feel like i have this awesome mohawk with some blingies. awesomeness

The Sunday Post!

2008-04-18T10:23:00.002+10:00

in addition to my new determination to rebuild my blog from scratch, i'm gonna put a weekly post mark so that i won't neglect this blog like its predecessor.

y'know, just to keep me from being lazy updating my blog =p

I just came back from my church, and i somehow feel tired, but at the same time, refreshed. i learnt something about taking action based on conviction, not convenience. if we're doing stuff based on convenience, then we're simply adapt to the suitable condition, whereas if its based on conviction, we must adapt to the existing situation whether its a disadvantage for us, otherwise, we'll be sitting down in our comfort zone and no development happens in our life.

anyway, thank GOD my internet is now back and running smoothly like usual. i can't do any assignments because of it, and i can't check email from it. its been bugging me for the last 2 days, but at least i got a decent sleep =p (was suppose to keep on drawing stuff though)

anyway, here's the weekly 'discovery' of the net

Homer Simpsons & Pig desktop art - Gizmodo.com - I say: a brilliant way to pass time. very mac-y
Team Fortress 2 - Meet the SCOUT! - various sources - I say: finally, the long anticipated video of "Meet the..." video from Valve.corp has finally released on the net! I haven't watched it yet when i made this post, but I will.
Japanese Cloak of Invisibility - Gizmodo.com - I say: for you HarryPorker fanboys, you'd want this. but try not to do the NSFW things, k? otherwise you'll make an enemy of all female community in the....community.

A big shoutout for Sheila.G, good luck facing your final exam of your 3rd year =p don't stress, its just another exam, you've done thousands of them before~

dude, WTF?

2008-04-17T20:33:00.000+10:00

k, i know i'm still new in this uni life, but seriously. no matter how much i give a thought about this, there's ALWAYS something which is not right with today's lecture.

first off, its called Maths & Physics for Artists lecture. get it? MATHS and PHYSICS. those 2 words are almost synonymous to the other word called 'number'.

but then

why the hell do we have to learn about the anatomy of an....EYE during the number-overwhelmed lecture session, and has very little to no relation to NUMBER whatsoever? sure we get to see some cool optical illusions, but what does it have to do with Maths or Physics?

seriously, wtf?

Social Link Level Up!

2008-04-16T19:08:00.002+10:00

P3 fans: seriously, I've got people commenting on how cheesy the title is. get used to it >_>;;;

Anyway, i managed to do something incredible today. Its incredible in the sense that its one thing that i've never done before. which is starting to communicate with other people. as far as i know, i don't really give a crap about it first, but i find it really awkward for me to do it.

It goes like this. it all starts on monday after i finished my games studio session, i'm just walking by the noticeboard on the poles in the cafetaria. Then i find this note which says "Your English for My Japanese" with non-english-looking handwriting. i thought, man, its actually a chance for me to practice my Japanese instead of mucking around pointlessly in city or in my room.

so i snatch the notice, then i thought to myself...what if this whole thing is just a scam? so i decided to txt the phone number included in the notice. to put it simply, turns out that its not a scam, and i found myself exchanging language with a 27 years old Japanese woman. not so pretty, but its better than nothing.

then the rest of the day is just as boring as it used to be. 2 lectures and a tutorial and a lab after that. i skipped the tutorial because i can't be bothered with this visual basic programming anymore. i want JAVA programming, and they gonna have JAVA programming next week. damnit, why can't it be tomorrow???? but at least i'm actually gonna learn something new this time.

i don't want to see you anymore Alice, go away, i hate you

Ressurection, 復活, Rinascita, whatever you call it

2008-04-14T00:18:00.002+10:00

uh...k, so as I have moved to Melbourne, I think
I better start running my blog again.

I know my last year attempt was
flunked by tons and tons of assignments, but
I do hope this year I can still run this....thing.

Well...I think for starters, I could say that I'm gonna sleep now.

I know I'm a lazy person, don't tell me about it >_>;;;

- Irene's b'day~ she's 16 now haha. happy b'day Irene~ =D wishing u the best aaaaall the time~~

- gone bush-walking in Waitakere.....here's the dumb part. This morning, my dad only said something about "going to Waitakere city with some other ppl" . Notice that he didn't said that we're going bush-walking AND its not even a city, more like a jungle. Fear the irony. i ended up being the only person that wear jeans and walking around in the ranges. i feel like post-modern day Tarzan.

i think that's all for today...just came back from the 4-5 hours of walking with mother nature, and...i'm too tired to do stuff after this....my phone's battery was drained from too much music, and my PSP's GPS can't even locate me in the jungle xD;;;; ima go take a nap....hello Pillow-Land~

FWEEEEDOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-04-04T14:38:00.000+10:00

ok, i actually wanted to post this blog 2 days ago, but due to some problem, its postponed until today.

Monday. pure hell. why? DESIGN ASSIGNMENT DUE ON TUESDAY! *gasp* i wanted to scream out swear words in my house, but i find it a bit dumb to do, since it doesn't help me in anyway...anyway. so then i stayed up late until...Tuesday 3-4am? can't remember, i was too busy working on the assignment. Good thing one of my friend willing to stay online with me. but at the end, i managed to finish everything. time to sleep and about 2 hours later, its.....

Tuesday. i woke up, washing dishes, eat breakfast and go to school. seems normal enough for me. except that i got to school ridiculously early, somewhere around 7.40-ish. go print works from my USB, stick stuff into the visual diary, and this is where things gone a wee-bit hairy. I sticked 3 or 4 pages in wrong order, and.....got one of them ripped in the process of fixing.

i screamed in my mind

ok, thinking that it can't be helped, i proceed. bell rang, i shocked. since i got physics first, this situation is dangerous. i kept my calm and proceed. long story short, i got a detention slip at the end of my physics class for being late to class. i explained to her the reason, but she just didn't want to buy it. so? screw it....

once i got back home around 4pm, i checked my email, and eat something. after that i go to sleep. my plan was to sleep for 1-2 hours then wake up, eat dinner and do physics homework. yes, that could work, but no, in reality, what actually happened was....i woke up at

Wednesday, 6.23am. yes, THIS MORNING. do the maths, that's 14 hours of sleep. i just break my sleeping record. the longest sleep i ever get before this one is 11 hours, that's on the plane from Singapore to Auckland. but hey, everything turned out to be a fine day. no more zombie face in the school...for today, dunno bout tomorrow =p i'm off to bed...too tired, even though its 5pm....

tomorrow is my last day of school......aaaah....sweet sound of freedom...how better can ye get...?

~Sleepless Night~

2007-04-01T18:02:00.000+10:00

For a certain person that accompanied me in many situations.

When i feel alone
you gave me a reason to smile

When i feel down
you gave me strength to stand up

When I'm in need of companion
you aid me with your light-hearted joke

When I'm in pain
you turned my pain into passing wind

When my heart is troubled
you enlightened me and comforts me

When I'm in time of stress
you accompanied me even to the depth of the night.

Whenever i want to say thank you
the words seems meaningless compared to what you've done to me

One thing in my life i ever wanted to do is to thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
You are there in my troubled times, you are there in my merry times.

My wish is so that i could done the same thing as you've done to me.
Thank you....
Thank you for everything that you've done to me until now
I am glad to have such friend like you

My New Toy~!

2007-03-27T22:41:00.000+10:00

ok, i'm 17, and i just got a new toy for myself (go me!).

its a brand-new spanking DVD Writer!!

now, with this bad boy, i can finally continue my black market business in my enviroment! ye name it, ps2 games, PC apps, PC games, movies, or even more of my homebrew apps for my PSP! all these stuff starts off with bunch of requests coming to my phone inbox...."burn me DeathNote 2!!"

i shivers

long-story short, i spent $60ish for this box full of goodies. then i thought...wait, if i somehow can't put this thick slab of metal to my CPU, then i just wasted my money on a useless krap! but meh, it actually worths my money, so in ye go, spitting out those little circle chips made out of plastic, containing valuable data...such as 30+ hours of entertainment.....awesome

Shooting Star

2007-03-19T18:40:00.000+11:00

These lyrics are from the song "流れ星" (Shooting Star) composed by Home Made Kazoku, a japanese hiphop group. Although i don't really like hiphop musics, apparently this one catches my attention, not only the tunes, but the lyric is a perfect match with the theme and music.

流れ星
Nagare Boshi
HOME MADE KAZOKU

When I'm looking at the sky
The stars are twinkling and embracing
Those stars look like various people
Shooting different lights
Among those, I want to shine too,
Closing my eyes and praying in my heart
I dream upon a shooting star

I'm here, on my usual park
On the slide where night scene is visible
This has always been my special seat
If there is trouble, I come here.
Since that time, I'm in the middle of dream
But until now, I'm not able to fulfill it.
Maybe this is already the end.
What a weak voice I speak up in.
But there are also days where it's dull.
And then, I remember the days, looking for the shooting star in that sky
The wish that I made back then, hasn't changed with time

Creeping at night at school with a companion
Voices lowered, climbing the wire net
The face of the ground looks different from daytime in the back
Our destination is the sea with the name, ”pool”
It didn't matter what we wore as swimsuits, everyone was bare
When a someone called out, you jumped
When the night the water spray which echoes in the beam
As if to continue afterwards, everyone entered simultaneously
I see the sky, the light flew
View many dream of the star which before the eye is talking together
That meteor of searching seed

Seeing in the sky which was lifted the countless star
Even now, either former times do not change and
like that star, dreaming endlessly,
dazzling enormously

Hey! So, only looking down, the
If those which are visible not to be visible the empty
See the sky, Keep Your Head Up!!
Hey! Now, what is thought in the sky” to see? “
Once upon a time, like that star of the . . .
I Wanna Shine

When I'm looking at the sky
The stars are twinkling and embracing
Those stars look like various people
Shooting different lights
Among those, I want to shine too,
Closing my eyes and praying in my heart
I dream upon a shooting star

i hope you like it =)

[EDIT] oh yeah, i forgot to add that this song is originally in japanese. i managed to translate the whole thing. well...the reff was repeated a few times, so it doesn't take me as long as i thought it would be [EDIT]
