Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Okay, after seeing this, I must say I still prefer good old Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. HOWEVER, this installment of the hugely successful Playstation gaming franchise from Squaresoft's (now Square-Enix) based movie is hugely successful in my book, and it got me hooked on to it. Of course, I can't deny the fact that the girl in the movie, the beautifully rendered Tifa (if you remember the ample bosomed sidekick of Cloud, man is she ample bosomed....:)) and the very cute Marlene really carries the movie.

Of course not to mention the awesome fight scenes and motocycle chase scenes that would put Holliwood to shame and you'll just have one word to say: WOW!!!

For all you with anime girl fetish, including me, you'll fall in love with Tifa, her super cutesy and innocent face, her killer body and her killer moves will make you fall out of your sofa yelling at yo' mama to let you marry her, failing which you'll die a horrible lone death. One can only hope so much to get a girl like her in the real world: big breast (hey, I'm biased towards big breast okay? :P), cute and innocent face, gorgeous body, sensuous moves, very nice and sexy voice and one hell of a perm!

All in all, it is damn fucking good. Eh he he...

Love Hina

This is an anime from Japan, the land of big eyed, big breasted, super cute, mega sexy and super duper micro mini skirts. Hell, yeah....what I wouldn't do to live there. LOL.

Anyway, the sypnosis for this anime is in Japanese, so I can't tell you what it's about. ut I do know this, the characters of Love Hina makes me wanna love them. *sigh..............* KAWAIIIIIII!!!!!!!

BUT, I do hate the main guy character, some guy named Urushima Keitaro or something. He is such a loser. Hell, I'm a oser and I think he's a loser. Can you how much of a loser he is if a loser like me can call him loser? What a loser. If in real life he is like this, the girls will not be lining up to get close to him.

He is, in Love Hina, the guy whom everyone blames for anything, even if it is not his fault. And he is the guys who got the hots for the lead female character, Naru Narusegawa something. And he is the guy who got no guts to tell the girl his true feelings for her even though it is painfully plainly obvious to the other charcaters and to the viewers. ZZZzzzzz that got has no hope at all, and yet, I sympathise with him. Turn his fortune 180,and you will get....nevermind.

Anyway, I recommend watching this anime as well, the characters are interesting, especially the hyperactive girl, Kaolla Su something and the cute, super super cute cook, i forgot name liou. And not to forget the super cool (and very pretty, and my type oso, lol) kendo praticioner who just kendo's Keitaro every time she got, Mastuto Aoyama something.

So there, go watch it. I highly recommend it, just for the girls.....of the anime of course. ^.*

Stargate Atlantis

Well...this show really got me hooked. Ever since I first saw.........

I'm gonna stop here now. Got a problem with my Internet connection. Sian...sian...

Hi there.......:(

What is trust?

I have a cousin who is pissed assed pissed off at me. Why? Coz I do not believe that she would join a beauty pageant. Which she did and for the record, she is not unattractive. I only thought that she is not pretty enough to win, hence my apprehensive disbelive/belief. Confused? Let me explain.

You see, as my cousin, I loved her. She is family. Best friend. Do I want to believe her? Yes I do. Do I believe she will do no wrong. Yes I do. But will she do wrong to get what she wants? I do not want to belief it, but she might. This is a possibility that I do not want to believe in. And yet, becouse I do not want to believe that she would "betray" herself to achieve her wants that she said once and for all, that I do not believe er period. This is really hurting me.

Sighhhhhh..............

I said to myself...whatever lah. Want to appologize that one time also backfired. We're through. :(

Freedom of speech...

Sighhhh....news of recent weeks have it that 3 person has been arrested for seditious comments on their blog. The content of their blog, which I will not disclose here, has irked the authorities into taking action after the members of the public complained about it.

Such is the vagaries of nowadays freedom of speech, or the lack of it. The government (the world over) haprs on the issue of freedom of speech and yet in reality, tries to stay in power by restricting freedom of speech, which in the short run will make society compliant but in the long run, will degrade human rights so much that popular uprising is not dfar-fetched. As I am now commenting of such freedom of expression and thus running the risk of been detained under the Internal Security Act circa. 1965, I beg to disclaim that these views are not in anyway in support or oppossed to the views of the majority. What the readers make of these words is not my responsibility as I assume that readers are matured enough to differentiate between personal opinions (as this is) and publich flaming/sedition/what-ever-the-government-wants-to-call-it.

As such, this is purely my opinion.

Now then, why arrest people for saying th governments are a bunch of highly paid corrupted idiots? Which government am I talking about? Well, to be honest...all of them. They can be highly paid and they can be ace of the world corruption free standards, but in my eye, they are a bloody corrupted lot. And the people in the non-government sectors learn from the best in the corruption business; the government. That's right, I think that the private sectors learn corruption from the governments. But that is not why I brought it up. The biggest headache of any government is to stay in power as long as possible with little change in status quo or tightly controlled changes. Thse arrests (of the bloggers) attests to the fact that the government everywhere are afraid of discentious views; views that seems contrary to government propaganda, policies and wills. Even views that is meant to affect changes for the betterment and enrichment of the government and society is frawned upon. Views about the human's place in the world are strongly objected to. Only views that allowed the government to make more money at the expense of the neighboring competitor contried are accepted. Or one that makes bigger and meaner and deadlier weapons with huge percentage of the money going into private coffers are allowed. Hell, even the fact of government tenders are a corrupt practice in itself. Think about it, 20 thousand dollars for a toilet seat? Shit man, this reminds me of the NKF saga.

And I have reached the limit I've imposed on myself to blast the stupid and evil censors who might be reading this. Wish I could post porno pictures here, but that would get my page banned, so I'll stick to this...........YOU STUPID IDIOT! Up YOURS STUPID CENSORS!!!

It is it, yet it is not.

Well, on my way back from work, I actually composed the subject matter of this post to be transfered here...but now that I'm sitting here, my mind is a blank. Maybe it is becouse of the laksa?

Anyway, as I was reading through the Sept issue of American Scientist, I had a sudden thought or revelation on why I am not a scientist or studiying Ph.D like my other friends. It makes me realise that intelectually, I am a bit behind. And it (the readin) does invoke some interesting observations.

For example, I am a Licensed Aircraft Engineer. This title is in itself a misnomer since I do not do any actual engineering work. I just certify that the work done based on the approved repair manuals are correct and compliant with air safety regulations. Is that an engineer I wonder. But, even IF I consider this an engineering job, my way of thinking is totally not in-line with the reality of my job. How so?

In this job, I need to find evidence of my work, like I need to follow word for word instructions in the repair manual or else it's my skinny arse that is on the line. BUT I did not think like this. More often than not, I think like a scientist; I found a problem, I think of ways that it can be solved without refering to the manual and sometimes suggest radical means to solve it. which is of course not authorised or approved. Training too, I see many people (trainees) trying to find answers to questions that is word for word copy of the text in the manual. I mean, is this how we are supposed to think?

I know that evidence is needed many times, but how to create a creative and innovative mind when they dare not try new answers to questions? Therein lies my dilenma; I'm a quasi-engineer who happens to think like a quasi-scientist. Only problem is, I'm not much of a scientist at all. My mathematics is sucky at best and I have relly no patience to do esperiments (although I like it). Even worse, I prefer prototyping to making experiments. Does that make me a de-facto builder or engineer?

Now this has even got me confused. *sigh.....

Official storm!

Okay...today was my off day...after I blew one day of my meagre annual leave. Sian. But no matter 'coz of what happened today.

Early this morning, I went to the Chinese Embassy Consular Section to apply for an entry visa into China. I thought it would take me like one whole day to finish the transaction, hence the one day leave. But upon arrival, lo and behold....I'm done in 30 minutes! Talk about efficiancy! There is minimum waiting. Everything was done proffesionally and fast with a smile I might add. Which lead me to one thought.....if I had asked the officers at the Malaysian Embassy in Singapore...would they lift a finger to help me? Or would I have to belanja them minum kopi first? I bet it's the latter.

Anyway, I asked for the same day collection date and she (yes, the teller was a she, and no, not young....an auntie) says no problem as long as you pay for the service. I asked how much, she says SGD100. Hmmm, no problem what. So I go back lor waiting for the appointed collection time at 3pm. But before that time, I updated my bank account passbook at the bank, blew 40 bucks on magazines, had a lonely lunch, played some Knight Online and experiance the worst storm in Singapore since I got here. I mean, man, the rain was like trickle trickle...then WHAM! Cats and dogs! And the wind...whoooo, shut off mu window all by itself! Hahahaha....

Anyway, come collection time, nothing untoward happened although I look like a sissy carrying my empty bag and walking around embassy row. *Gasp.....I could even be in the sights of several marksmen! And to end my day, had dinner (roti canai!) at Century Square with a lot of hotties...who unfortunately not sitting with me (but she is HOT HOT HOT!!! her friend too). So I have to eat like a macho gentlement...if not, throw face only. LOL. Finished my day with a purchase of Initial D DVD. GodDAMMIT!!! So fucking expensive...

But worth the funnyman Chapman To.

Gamers!!!!!! 2nd gaming post today! Hell Yeah!!!

Okay...how many of you guys out there are gamers? Ever being addicted to one? I have. Jerry has. And I can tell many many more are too. The thing is, how much are you addicted too? Alot until you are willing to go the distance to kill someody to get something that you want? That something often means in-game items that are especially rare. There is a case in Korea where a man was killed becouse he stole/scammed an in-game item off another man. Man, talk about passion!

Anyway, I believe many moderate gamers has spent quite a sustaintial moneytary investment into the game you played. I the game, during playing, do you guys feel angry sometimes at the antics of ur fellow players? Maybe becouse they make a promise then break it? Or maybe becouse they steal your stuffs? Or just maybe becouse they ignore you completely despite being in the same team? Hmmm...at first I do not believe this, or the fact that some people are dedicated enough to spend several thousands dolalrs a month to play any game, that this things happen and it happen just tonight. Not one hour ago! Man, I'm telling you, even the Parliament has an easier time.

I will not go into details, but suffice to say that this kind of thing puts my knickers off gaming...but sometimes if you instigate some incident, it makes it worthwhile don't you think?

Gaming experience...

Hmmm, looking at the newspapers these days, I see there are alot of mediocore games in the market. I think the company promoting these games thought gamers are a stupid bunch who just lap up their propaganda like marketing campaign to sign up users.

Examples of mediocore games flooding the market in Singapore is World of Warcraft, the lousy successor of the likes of Warcraft II and Warcraft III franchise, A3, the useless CounterStrike wannabe, RYL (whose fullname I've forgotten...luckily!) another useless wannabe, and Maple Story which is...I don't know what it is except for its cutesy cartoonish characters and boring gameplay. It's a wonder guys (YES, GUYS!) actually pay to play this game.

Now this is a game that is worth your while...except for the latency problem that is: Knight Ascension. Of course in Asia, we use either the China, Korea, Japan or Malaysian servers while those in North America uses the American server. It is all the same game, with different language in different servers. I belong to the Malaysian server and I must say, even though the company, e-games, tries to solve the latency problem, their job is made nearly impossible by the impotence of TMNet, their broadband provider. Why this state of affairs? It's only becouse TMNet is a useless piece of junk that takes in too much bribe to pay its executive instead of improving services. I knew I should've join the government services if I knew there would be so much money to be scammed from bribery alone. *sigh...*

Anyway, I just blasted S$100++ for a couple of thousand of games playing points. These points is like virtual money, and with it, I pay to play. I don't wanna lose the time, so I'm gonna go play now. Game on!

Asleep...again!

Sian arh! I don't know what got into me today. This morning when I wake up, I prepared to go to work, when I saw my housemate waiting for me. I asked him why didn't he go to work, and he said waiting for me to take the cab. I then ask him (as he never takes cab unless it's a special occasion) why the date today so special, he wants to get a cab. He replied that he wants to go back Kl, and imagine my surprise whe I thought he is going home KL on a Thursday! So I told him why would he wants to go back on a Thursday. He looked at me askance and replied, "Today is Friday leh."

If I wasn't awake then, this piece sure woke me up good. I checked my watched and sure enough, it's a Friday. Damn, what got into me this morning? First I thought today is Friday, and had a premonition that last night is a little bit odd that my other housemate's girlfriend is off-duty. So many clues and hints and still I thought today is Thursday. Did I loose my mind? Or did my mind went off to Beijing without me liou?

Anyway, that's not the worst thing to happen to me today. At work, during the training class, I was so tired that I couldn't help dozing off a couple of times. This might or might not have pissed the arse off my trainer, but in the afternoon, something must've happened to make him blow his top on us. I mean, maybe it was me, or maybe it was some other pupils in the class that pisses him off. More than half the class isn;t listening to him and some of them are blatantly sleeping in front of him. With their legs on the table!

Haizzzz, I really do not know what the heck is happening today. So.....have at you.

Sleeeeeep!!!!!!

halo halo. Have you ever tried sleeping at your work place? I have and I did it! Mwahahaha. Contrary to what many thought, I "work" in the classrooms...making Zs. :D

Like today, I slept from 830am to like 12pm man. Damn, I didn't even know I slept that long then. Felt like one hour only. Maybe becouse I'm too depressed these few days. Furthermore, can't even seem to concentrate on my training manuals. My mind just drifts to my game in the online world.

I am an addict. There, I've admited it! So be it. Wanna 1 on 1 with me, bring it on sista! Visit http://www.e-games.com.my and look for a game called Knight Acsension. Download it, install it, make a character, level it up to 60, then...hahahah, fight with me! Mwahahah!!

Okay, I'm cranky now 'coz i'm hungry. See 'ya later. Nitez!

Levelling is damn painful experiance....

Hi......now I want to rant about my inperfect levelling status. AOE-ing harpies. As in game parlance, AOE means Area Of Effect, a wide effecting spells. So called nukers. Eheheheh, who says I cant own nukes? Anyway, I think level 61 is a taboo to me. Why? Becouse this is the level I'm stuck at now. I mean, what is the one reason that I am at this level and levelling for a very long time just to die to some freak accident? It si mind boggling I tell 'ya.

Now, I had to go back to hand levelling. :( So boring. Die eleven times at the same experiance level. I never ever get an experiance percentage past 10%. Is this level jinxed for me? Should I play other characters for sometime?

I have no idea how to answer this dilemma. Now, My game is hanging, and I'm stuck at home trying to look busy when my heart yearns to go out and have fun. Sigh........having an attached life is so blissful. :( I envy them. And yet I heard many of them say they have lost their freedom lar, cannot do this. Cannot do that lar. They complain and complain, and not once did they feel grateful that they have someone who loves them. :( What i wouldn't give to have those feelings.

Is being single all that it's cracked up to be? Sure, you can go everywhere you want, but, you'll be going alone most of the time. You'll laugh alone, cry alone and when you triumph, your voice sounded hollow. All becouse you want the freedom to fuck a few virgins, ladies or deparado sluts. Are they worth it all? Go watch The Wedding Crashers to get the meaning of life for a couple of one night standers. And they have the gall to tell me to just be friends first when they all go and nab every women in sight. :( This is making me very depressed.

So damn fucking boring hearing my friends going out with girlfriends, that's why don;t have time to play game lar, play badminton lar.....haizzzz, I want to have a girlfriend too. :( Lucky dog, they don't even know how fucking lucky they are. Lucky bastards.

So fake!

Hmm, ever walked around a shopping centre and see people selling or trying to sell massage chairs? Or hand massage machines? Did you see the looks on their faces? Well, what do they look like? Chances are that they look hapy when they try to sell you those things. And chances are, nobody will buy. Why?

Good question. Consider this; if you are selling a product meant to relief muscle aches, do you go around smelling and using it like you DO NOT have muscle ache? Or do you fake a muscle ache and uses the product to sooth yourself? Which is more belieavble? If I do not have muscle ache like all the salesman look like (smilling away waving it here and there), why sould I buy it? However, even IF I do not have muscle ache, I'll tend to stop and look at the product the salesman is selling if he is in some sort of agony that seemed to be soothed out by the product they are selling.

Wouldn't this be more...effective?

Sleeping to much?

Is there such thing as sleeping too much? Or is there such thing as doing to much? Is there such thing as trying too hard?

The answer probably is yes. In the case of sleeping too much, it being defined by sleeping to the point of negative energy returns. Meaning that you feel more tired as to before you start to sleep. doing too much? I don't know. and trying to hard. I am no authority in the manner. But I just watched a movie that might illustrate the point.

Back in the Second World War, a scientist working on the Manhattan Project was exposed to massive fatal dose of radiation. He was working on the manipulation of two halves of plutonium when the unfortunate incident happens. He lived for a month before he died to radiation sickness. But in that one month, he struggled everyday to understand and continue his work so that he can understand the nature of the problem and prevent the same mistakes from happening to others. He succeeded.

On another note, another scientist working on a exotic power generation project met with much the same fate. He did not die but one man under his command did. It gave him the same impetus to strive harder to understand the problem. he is fully confident that he can contain that mistake and make the project successful. In the end, he didn't and was forced to evacuate before the process self-destruct. He didn't die, but his over-confidance and ego almost got his friends killed.

Now, is the second case sound as if he is trying too hard?
