1st Week

2011-01-16T02:31:00.002+08:00

The first week of school this year has come and gone. All in all it wasn't too bad. I have a weird timetable but I don't mind. It's pretty good and we don't really end late except for mondays and thursdays. So far this week I've tried doing all my homework on time and for once I managed to do it. However I did find that I have no time for anything else hmm. I guess it's partially because I'm still not used to the timing, so I always have to take a nap in the afternoon because I feel so tired waking up so early.

On top of that I seem to be having an urge to shoot something these days. -_-

Here's 2011

2011-01-06T02:49:00.004+08:00

Happy New(Relatively) Year to everyone :)
I finally got myself to update.

~~Today~~ Yesterday, I went with Eunice Seow to Orchard to shop and hang. In short we walked from Somerset to Ngee Ann City to Wisma to ION to Wheelock Place to Somerset to Centrepoint then back to Somerset. It was tiring, but fun. I was looking for a new schoobag as my previous one just doesn't quite cut it. In the end I bought a bag from Everlast after much searching. Makes me glad I didn't buy the Deuter bag I saw at Serangoon the other day.

As usual 2010 ended on a slackish tone as it ended during the hols. My dec hols were not too eventful, and I didn't go overseas at all, not even to Sentosa(ya i know it doesn't count but still). To sum it up, this it what happened during hols.

Highlights:
I got a DSLR
Shopping with Geraldine, Cheryl and Hayati
Shopping with Eunice Seow
Bowling BBQ
Watched/Played Fate/Stay Night and relative material
Got new specs
Watched a few movies

Rainclouds:
My stack of HW
3 Tests to study for
My fav pair of jeans is ruined

That's about it for the hols I guess.
As for 2010, overall it was a rather enjoyable year despite all the "Oh crap I think I'm gonna retain." and "F*** I couldn't do Q No.XXX for subject YYY promo paper/whatever exam or test". Fortunately my class was not disbanded, though our numbers went down quite a bit. I suppose as usual I will do a simple dedication to those who made my 2010 a meaningful one.

My Family:
As usual a constant source of support and good advice. Thanks to my parents for always looking after me and to my brother for doting on his little sister. Also, you all make me happy. ^^

Huan Song:
For being the one who's there to cheer me up when I'm down, pei me when I'm bored, and looking after me when I'm ill. For putting up with my tantrums and my "squeeee" behaviour around cats. :D

Geraldine, Hayati, Cheryl:
You guys rock. To be honest it's you 3 that make school like enjoyable for me. For all the help that you all have given me over the year, and for being wonderful friends, thank you :)

Weixuan & Adila:
I miss you two :( 2010 just wasn't as fun without you two around. I wanna hang at that staircase at Lot1 eating random junk and talking random things until the security guard chases us away again XP

Ya this year's one is short, very. It just wasn't a particularly enjoyable year I guess. Partially also coz I'm not in a particularly happy mood right now. Regrettably, 2010 is also the year that I bid farewell to some of my friends, both close and not, for a variety of reasons. Among these I think 1 person has influenced my life a lot more than the others. A shame things had to end this way. I was browsing my blog history and came upon this personality test result regarding what is it I fear most.

"You love affection and the people in your life more than anything. Your greatest fear is that one day someone you care about won't be there anymore. You are a very friendly and inviting person, who draws in a lot of friendships with your kind, considerate, and loyal nature. However, deep down you are slightly insecure and unsure of yourself. You couldn't deal with it if you didn't have one of your loved ones in your life anymore."

I guess it is rather true. Hopefully it never ever happens again.

For my 2011 I shall make 1 wish and only 1.

I wish to be happy :).

Wishing everyone a happy and enjoyable 2011. ^^

Frustrated

2010-12-18T03:27:00.004+08:00

It's quite annoying when someone who has not talked to you in ages suddenly pops up and talks to you, only to do in an overly formal manner that lacks any sense of willingness and instead feels more like an obligation. To top it all off it ends as abruptly as it started. I really don't know why is it you talked to me, but you either want to talk to me or you don't. You don't talk to me in a tone that gives me the impression that you don't want to. Maybe i'm mistaken about this but if you don't want to talk to me then don't.

It certainly does not help that for the past I don't know how many months you've been treating me like a complete stranger. I've not had a msn conversaon where I did not smile or laugh in ages. It's impressive, but I wish it didn't have to be so. I honestly do wish the conversation could have been at least passably happy, but it wasn't. It's not that I don't want to talk to you, but really, don't talk to me if you don't want to. I'd rather that than you pretend you want to talk to me when you don't. If I'm wrong about this then please do let me know, but this is really how I feel.

Maybe the past is just wishful thinking that will never happen again.

On a side note, I'm trying not to let this blog and my deviantArt account die so I'm thinking of posting regularly again. We'll see. Maybe I'll update the template, but I quite like this one hmm :S

Fate/Stay Night

2010-11-25T17:38:00.000+08:00

Due to recommendations from a few friends, I decided to start watching Fate/Stay Night. Quite a good anime, and has it's comedic moments. A lot of blood though. I have not seen this much blood in an anime since watching Tsubasa Chronicles - Tokyo Revelations lol. Nevertheless, it has a good story line. After watching a couple of episodes I finally realised why the red shirt and black skirt Rin wears is so familiar lol. It's coz zhengrui made me wear it last time ._.

Anyway, first day of holidays, and I'm trying to make good use of my time to catch up with my practice. So far my fingers feel damn tired. This blog seems so neglected. Guess it's coz I've been spending too much time on Dekaron lol.

Cheers :D

Seventeen

2010-11-04T00:39:00.002+08:00

Happy Birthday to me, Sarah, YingYing and all Nov4 babies out there ^^

Nights all

Tsubasa

2010-11-02T16:41:00.002+08:00

I've been watching Tsubasa Chronicles again. The story is so sweet, but so sad since Sakura is never going to remember Syaoran :/

Anw, this week is boring coz it's mostly PW. Had Chinese A Lvls on monday and I suppose it went ok. The essay questions were nonsense though.

WR

2010-10-28T15:03:00.001+08:00

Thought it was about time i updated. Anyway just submitted the WR today. Feels like a load off my shoulder. I am so relieved meh. But the printing was so expensive bleh.

Stickman Exodus

2010-08-20T00:29:00.002+08:00

This is a shorter vid about this whole Stickman Exodus thing.

Hail the stickmen of mass destruction!!! XD

500!

2010-08-01T01:45:00.003+08:00

Ok so this is the 500th post of my blog. I am surprised I managed to keep it up for this long actually hmm. Anyway, quick update. This week has been a fairly hectic week what with lots of school events and all. The best part was that on tuesday, I went to watch Mozart’s Die Zauberflote(The Magic Flute), performed by the Singapore Lyric Opera at the esplanade. It's the first time I actually watched an opera live so it was quite an eye opener for me. I enjoyed it a lot. The opera was great, the orchestra was great, and the story was great. I managed to get pretty good seats which were quite near the front, so during intermission we went to take a look at the place where the orchestra sits. Me and HS managed to talk to Mr Siew for a bit as well. All in all, I had lots of fun, even though I got home quite late and was so tired I went to sleep right after showering after getting home. I definitely want to watch the next opera the SLO puts up ^^

Inception

2010-07-25T22:41:00.003+08:00

Went to watch Inception last night. Late night movie, which ended at 2.15am. XD Anyway, it is quite a complicated movie, but nice because they linked up the different levels really well and the effects were great. I shall not give spoilers ^^ Anyway, I liked this part of the movie coz it was

Cobb: For this to work, we'd have to buy off the pilots...
Arthur: And we'd have to buy off the flight attendants...
Saito: I bought the airline.
[Everybody turns and stares at him. Saito just shrugs]
Saito: It seemed neater.

Happy Birthday

2010-07-17T22:51:00.003+08:00

Went to Swensen's at Marina Square today with Adila and Weixuan to celebrate Adila's Birthday. Have not seen them in such a long time meh. Had lots of fun today ^^Anw, Happy 17th Birthday to Adila!!!! I hope you enjoyed your beef-day celebration :D

Winnie the Pooh

2010-07-13T23:45:00.002+08:00

For all it's reputation as a kiddy book/franchise/series/show, Winnie the Pooh has some rather nice quotes. Yes. I do mean Winnie the Pooh as in the bear. The honey crazy bear who lives in hundred acre wood. Here are some of my favourites :)

“If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.”

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”

“If there ever comes a day when we can't be together keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever”

“Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.”

“Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

“Don't underestimate the value of Doing Nothing, of just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering.”

“The hardest part is what to leave behind, ... It's time to let go!”

"Some people care too much, I think it's called love."

Haiz

2010-07-13T00:19:00.003+08:00

There's so much I wish to say to you to clear things up. Hopefully one day I get a chance to do so.

Minimum

2010-07-12T20:55:00.002+08:00

Minimum - Arsenie

She’s the one, She’s the one
She’s the one, the only one
She’s the one, She’s the one
She’s the one, my only one

Love is a game for two
I thought I would play it with you
But now I play alone
in a game that you don’t belong to

And I pray for the minimum
Yes I pray for the minimum now
Should I pray for the minimum now

Refrain:
When it’s hard to believe I pray
For minimum of your love I will find a way
Minimum of your love I’ll say goodbye
Leaving it all behind

I swear I will change for you
I’ll do anything you ask me to
Don’t you go away
Cause I’ll never find someone like you

And I pray for the minimum
Yes I pray for the minimum now
Should I pray for the minimum now

Refrain:
When it’s hard to believe I pray
For minimum of love I will find a way
Minimum of your love I’ll say goodbye
Leaving it all behind

Love you every second
Love you every day and all my life
Waiting for the time when you’ll be mine

Every time I close my eyes
I feel lost in your arms
You’re the one, my only one

Refrain:
When it’s hard to believe I pray
For minimum of your love I will find a way
Minimum of your love I’ll say goodbye
Leaving it all behind

She’s the one, she’s the one
She’s the one, the only one
She’s the one, she’s the one
She’s the one, my only one

Dragostea Din Tei

2010-07-07T19:10:00.003+08:00

I got addicted to this song thanks to the numa numa LOTR vid I watched. Watch the first vid if you want to listen to this song and watch Yoda dance. Watch the second vid for the actual MV.

Dragostea Din Tei - O-Zone

Romanian Lyrics:

Ma-ia-hii
Ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo
Ma-ia-haha

Alo, Salut, sunt eu, un haiduc,
Si te rog, iubirea mea, primeste fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt eu Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei,
Nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei.
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei,
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai.

Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum,
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt eu, fericirea.
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso,
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt voinic,
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic.

English Lyrics:

Ma-ia-hii Ma-ia-huu Ma-ia-haa Ma-ia-ha-ha (x4)

Hello, greetings, it's me, an outlaw,
I ask you, my love, to accept happiness.
Hello, hello, it's me, Picasso,
I sent you a beep , and I'm brave,
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

Chorus:
You want to leave but you don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want to take me, don't want don't want don't want to take me.
Your face and the love from the linden trees,
And I remember your eyes.

I call you, to tell you what I feel right now,
Hello, my love, it's me, your happiness.
Hello, hello, it's me again, Picasso,
I sent you a beep and I'm brave,
But you should know that I'm not asking for anything from you.

2010-07-05T17:53:00.002+08:00

It seems like there's so much I want to say to you but will never get a chance to. I wish I could clear things up between us but bleh.

2010-07-04T20:16:00.002+08:00

After thinking it through a long long long long time, I've decided I want to sell off some of my yoyoinh stuff since I don't really use. Currently I have like 4 speeders, 2 speedmakers, and 2 meteors.

Thinking of selling off 2 speeders and 1 speedmaker and maybe maybe maybe a meteor. (AP 08 Speeder NOT for sale) Anyone interested just contact me through msn, email, facebook or whatever. I do have pics but i'm not uploading. I'll send to you if you request for it though. Details on colour and etc ask me over msn or whatever medium you use to contact me.

1st Lesson

2010-06-19T00:30:00.002+08:00

Went for the first lesson today in the evening with HS and HS. It was really fun and interesting, but some of it is really hard to do, and the movements are not easy to grasp. All in all I had a lot of fun, but, my legs feel like jelly X_X The nice long bath helped soothe the tired muscles but i reckon tomorrow they will hurt like mad. Plus, I have a bruise on my toe T_T

June Hols

2010-06-08T13:22:00.001+08:00

It's the june holidays now. I almost couldn't tell. Last week had to go back to school 4 out of 5 days meh. And we have to mug for MYE. This is positively one of the most unholidaylike holidays ever lol.

Bday Outing

2010-05-29T02:13:00.002+08:00

Went out to celebrate Amirul's birthday today. Nothing too extravagant. Meet him and HS at the bus stop and took bus to Marina. The bus was like super packed and stuff. Poor me was stuck between them two tall guys(you two gentlemen should be ashamed of stealing my oxygen :P)
Anyway, we finally got to our destination(sweet sweet aircon). Along the way, we noted that the fishes at the SPA thingy whose name I forgot, have DOUBLED in size. All that from eating dead skin cells. It's kinda disturbing how big they are now >_> Anw had quick lunch at Killiney and went to Starbucks to chill and chitchat. HS demo-ed Portal. It was dizzying and I gave up trying to figure what's going on. Dinner was at Pizza Hut. It was rather yummy considering usual Pizza Hut standards. Can't say I like the way the meatballs tasted though. Prefer the Swensen's one. ANW, hung out at Sky Garden for a bit before taking bus home. Too bad Amirul had to get off at Bugis so we couldn't chat. So that sums up my day.

Happy 19th Birthday again to Amirul ^^

Backtracking a bit.....
Yesterday was 'Eat With Your Family' Day. Went to Manhattan Fish Market to eat. it was way way way way way delicious XP

Should go sleep now. Nights all :)

Well Wishes

2010-05-27T23:46:00.004+08:00

Happy Birthday to AMIRUL!! :D

Dude you rock ^^

And congrats to HS for getting into the course of his choice :)

Vigilant

2010-05-25T21:38:00.003+08:00

Random candid screenshot taken when we were preparing for official guild 'photo'. Taken on 7 May 2010, last day of Dekaron SEA.

Kudos to Celest for being a wonderful GL, and ken, papa, ang, lonely, hong, hyper, lala, and all guildies for making my DekaSEA experience so pleasant. Glad I can still see most of you in GLobal :D

3

2010-05-23T21:27:00.003+08:00

Thank you for being by my side and supporting me all these years. Hard to believe it's been so long ^^ 3 years ago I made that promise to you and I do not regret it. It's a comforting thought knowing you're there for me no matter what. :D

Happy 3 years to us HS :)

To a particular somebody, a year ago you told me you were leaving and you should be glad you made it true. Congrats on that. Somehow I don't think I'll say the rest.

She's 0990

2010-05-13T00:27:00.003+08:00

On 7th May, I logged into Dekaron SEA for the last time. Took the opportunity to take some screenshots of my mage, 0990.

My first MMORPG character that I spent money on, the one I like the most, the one I spent the most time with, the one I'll always remember :) My Incar Magician in Dekaron SEA, 0990. I'll miss her meh.

After the move to Dekaron Global, I started training up a new mage, hopefully she will be as good as the one in Deka SEA. Presenting 0990, in Dekaron Global ^^ She's still a noob, but the lvling system in Global is a lot less merciless than SEA. Hopefully she'll be able to reach lvl 92 soon just like my prev mage. Currently still lvl 49 though. At least I still got most of my guildies with me in Global, or else it'd be awfully boring meh.

Will upload more screenshots on my fb tmr if i remember.
Nights all :D

Eyes on Me

2010-05-10T21:50:00.005+08:00

First of all:

Happy 17th Birthday to Weixuan!! :D

Idk what happened or anything but hope you can cheer up soon yah :)

Anyway, recently watched this video from FF VIII. I think it's real sweet ^^

The song is the waltz version of Eyes on Me. Here's the original, sung by Faye Wong

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar

My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me

Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper

How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
did you ever know
That I had mine on you

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
Your tears if your're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

Dekaron SEA Closure

2010-05-02T03:02:00.002+08:00

I am SAD :(

A few days ago, there was an announcement on the Dekaron SEA website, stating that Deka SEA will be closed on 8 May. The news was quite shocking as it was so sudden. It's sad that after spending so much time and money on my mage, finally getting her to her final tier skills, all that effort has to go to waste. Unfortunately a merger with Deka Global is impossible so everyone's accounts will just have to go to waste. Most of my guildmates are now playing on Dekaron Global, as such I've made an account there too. At first I wanted to play mage again lol, but it makes me miss my Deka SEA mage too much meh :/ So I decided to use Aloken instead. Yup, Deka Global is really updated. Haiz, the closure is due to Mobius being completely lazy buggers to put it simply. Apparently Gamehi got pissed off with Mobius because of that. Hence the closure.

I'm gonna really really miss my Mage :'(

Backed into a corner, the monsters are coming, 1 way out, just pia XD

Hmm

2010-04-25T03:05:00.002+08:00

I suppose trying periods exist for everyone. Stress can be such an overwhelming sensation.

I miss having you by my side.

Hei VS Wei

2010-04-13T18:39:00.004+08:00

Hei VS Wei fight scene from Darker than Black. One of my favourite fight scenes in the anime. I think Wei is creepy though. And of course, Hei is so damn cool! =D

I is Alive

2010-04-10T23:19:00.000+08:00

No I am not abandoning my blog. I've just been otherwise preoccupied... With Dekaron :x

My mage is lvl 87 yay! ^^

And I bought my bowling trolley woots!

Dinner Event @ Charcoal

2010-03-22T00:08:00.002+08:00

Last friday, I went for a 4 course Italian dinner event at Charcoal with Clarissa. The food had it's ups and downs. I enjoyed the soup, 1 of the appetisers, the main course, and the drinks. Dessert wasn't too bad as well. The whole dinner cost us $25 each and we spend close to 2.5 hours eating, drinking and chatting there. I ordered a mocktail which was blue(me like), and tasted sweet as hell. Apparently it was not supposed to be so sweet..

Anyway all in all I was pretty satisfied and enjoyed myself at the event. Thanks Clarissa for accompanying me there :)

Perhaps I'm wrong perhaps I'm not. Somehow it all makes sense, your friendliness was just a pretence.

I shall not upload photos for now.

Term 1

2010-03-21T23:58:00.002+08:00

Some little random snippets from my JC Life. Term 1 is over and I've settled in quite nicely into the school though I still prefer my sec school life and it is not because there was less homework.

Honeymoon period is over and Term 2 will be full of more crap than ever. JC Life is busy busy busy and I am so going to die.

Dekaron Once Again

2010-03-21T23:50:00.004+08:00

Yes. I have been playing Dekaron again since the start of this week. Which is why I have not been online recently. Seeing as it is the holidays, I've been going for as many Dead Fronts as possible to level my mage asap. Yup she has grown a lot since she last made an appearance on my blog ^^

My mage in Dead Front fighting the first boss monster with the rest of the attack force.

Thu, 18 March, 12am Dead Front, Blue Team, Victors. First time ever winning Dead Front :D
Oh yeah lots of treasure for us muahahahaha! XD

It's fun now that I've found my guildmates again in the new guild. Vigilant FTW! ^^

Randomness

2010-03-11T00:26:00.005+08:00

Me and Sophia Goh going crazy over Hei :P
Absolutely random lol, but yeah Hei rocks Rocks ROCKS! :D

Anyway, meeting Weixuan and Adila for dinner this friday. Can't wait to see them again meh. It's been so long. Miss all those times in sec school where I could talk random stuff with them and the others. :(
Somehow I think I like my upper sec class more than my current class. 4L1 was just so much more together.

Good night all. ^^

Bowling

2010-03-08T00:19:00.003+08:00

Went over to Orchid Bowl at Orchid Country Club to get my new bowling ball and shoes today. Actually we are supposed to wait for coach to tell us how heavy our ball will be, but in the end since my aunt and uncle got lobang, I decided what the heck I'll just go get it. And since 12 is most suited for someone my size, I took a 12 pound ball. It's a big jump from the 9 pund house ball I always use. It turns out the guy I bought the stuff from knows coach too o.o and I also bumped into Jesslyn training there with her coach :)

Anyway, after getting my ball I took it for a few trial games. The first few times I was seriously not used to the ball but I got better during the final game. Still, I seriously need to work on my technique. Now every wednesday I have to lug this 12 pound ball around school :/ I hope coach doesn't nag at me for buying this ball meh.

The bag that came along with the ball as part of the package. I think it looks like a bomb bag that will go under MRT's definition of "suspicious looking persons or articles" -_-

My new bowling ball. 12 pound. Black and Red. 100% Wheee!!!!!!

My shoes. Pretty basic pair, but I think they look nice :)

A close up of the swirly pattern on my ball. Not a well taken pic hmm.

The final game. B is my uncle, S is me, H is my aunt. The reason I took a photo was because this is the first time I hit double strike. Me is happy. Still, my score sucks.

Bag Shopping

2010-03-06T23:56:00.002+08:00

Went to Bugis with my mum and some relatives today. I daresay me and my cousin got the most goodies. I managed to find 2 bags I liked and got the new wallet(my old one did not facilitate coins). Still, now that i've changed wallet, I really really really miss my old wallet :( Maybe I'll change back hmmmm. My prev wallet has been in use for years and I'm so not used to the new one haiz. Oh well. I'm tired. Most likely going to buy my bowling ball and shoes tmr since my uncle and aunt have lobang, then no need wait for coach to ask me to buy ^^

Nights all.

Sodalite & Amethyst

2010-03-03T01:23:00.008+08:00

Obtained two more stones today; Sodalite and Amethyst. Here's what the description for both stones say:

SODALITE
the stone of Confidence

"Sodalite is linked to confidence and self esteem. It can also be used in any situation which requires intuition and logic."

AMETHYST
the stone of Peace

"Amethyst is linked to peace, tranquility and relaxation. It can also be used in any situation which requires wisdom and clarity."

All three stones: Tiger Eye, Sodalite, Amethyst. Tiger Eye is easily the most striking.

2 sides of my sodalite stone.

2 sides of my amethyst stone.

When held against a bright light, certain parts of the stone are revealed to be translucent(the brighter blue areas)

Amethyst is mostly translucent and that can be seen best when held against bright light too. Can see my finger on the other side of the stone heh.

I'm tired and I wanna sleep now. Good night all x_x

Modern Warfare 2

2010-03-01T23:57:00.004+08:00

Recently, I devoted my entire Saturday night( 9pm-4am ) and Sunday evening to finishing up Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2's campaign. I have to admit, out of all the games I've ever played, this game is easily one of the best and most enjoyable. I shall not say too much about the gameplay since I'm no experienced FPS gamer, but plot wise, it is definitely very interesting and full of twists that I did not expect. The fact that one gets to play as a few characters also allows the player to experience different situations and perspectives, making it much more entertaining.

The snowmobile pic is a screenshot from the game. The reason I chose this pic to upload was because this is the first time I ever got to use a snowmobile in a game. It was challenging as I am much more used to steering such vehicles on consoles and not pc, and this thing swerves awfully easy. I think it's the only game where you get to drive, dodge, shoot and play bumper snowmobile all at the same time too. At the beginning of the campaign, I find myself unable to shoot straight, but as I progress through the game, it is quite satisfying to notice myself getting better. Granted, I'm no pro, but at least I managed to finish it :)

For majority of the game, the player is taking on the role of Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson. Those missions are also interesting as you are now under the command of Captain John "Soap" MacTavis, which is the character whose role you will take on the most in Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare. He also happens to have an amusingly rugged hairstyle lol.

Modern Warfare 2 is also full of nice quotes. Here are some of my favourites:

"The healthy human mind doesn't wake up in the morning thinking this is it's last day on Earth. But I think that's a luxury, not a curse. To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take... inventory. Outgunned. Outnumbered. Out of our minds on a suicide mission, but the sands and rocks here stained with thousands of years of warfare... they will remember us for this. Because out of all our vast array of nightmares, this is the one we choose for ourselves. We go forward like a breath exhaled from the Earth. With vigor in our hearts and one goal in sight: We will kill him. "
- Price

Captain 'Soap' MacTavish: [in the Gulag] Price?
Price: Soap?
Captain 'Soap' MacTavish: This belongs to you, sir.
Worm: [confused] Who's Soap?

"We are the most powerful military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here matters over there. We don't get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can't give you freedom. But we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that, my friends, is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters who's got the biggest stick, but it matters a helluva lot more who's swinging it. This is a time for heroes. A time for legends. History is written by the victors. Let's get to work."
- General Shepherd

"What the hell are we gonna do now, man? Russians got us outnumbered, shit's falling from the sky. We're screwed, man!"
- Corporal Dunn

One last thing. Ghost is like so damn cool seriously. If you've never played MW2, you probably won't know what I mean.

Tiger Eye

2010-02-28T21:40:00.004+08:00

Went to marina today and HS bought a Tiger Eye gem for me from Times bookshop :) Here's what the description on the card attached reads:

TIGER EYE
the stone of Power

"Tiger Eye is linked to power, integrity & determination. It can also be used in any situation which requires passion and courage."

There you have it. My tiger eye as shown in the pics. Both sides of it. I wish I could get something to polish away the scratches but I ain't got the money for a tumbler hmph. Still, i think it's pretty ^^

Code Geass AMV

2010-02-23T00:36:00.003+08:00

Code Geass AMV
Song: Kakusei Heroism (Darker Than Black)

That ought to explain itself. One of my fav anime with one of my fav anime songs. It'd be really perfect if only the creator had cut down on all that flashing between original colouring and negative. Gets irritating after a while hmm. But it's still great ^^

!Warning! A LOT of bright flashes in this AMV -_-

Belated Vday

2010-02-21T21:20:00.004+08:00

Happy Belated Valentine's Day to all! :)

Went to Vivo city to celebrate a belated Vday with HS today. :) Ate at White Dog Cafe. Had striploin steak and clam chowder. Yum Yum ;D

HS let me play on his violin with the new Obligato strings and the Obligato GOLD E-string. It sounded way way awesome lol.

Wanted to go action city to get my present but it was out of stock. So in the end we had to take mrt to cck in the evening to buy my present. But it was well worth the trip :)

Pkin in 2009.....

Pkin in 2010. Yup. It's grown a lot hasn't it :D

Actually, it's just Pkin's big brother, named Pumpkin ^^ Because it's big, orange, and cute! XD

On the LRT, many people were like staring at the big orange plastic bag I was holding, probably wondering what it contained and why it was so BIG. Well, let them guess all the want lol but they'll never find out :P

Well just a short post for today.

Thanks so so much for the prezzie, I really love it :)

Quote

2010-02-17T23:27:00.003+08:00

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves."
-- 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

I think one of the only times I am quoting bible verses here. Was reminded of this because of a parchment like thing hanging in my house, with the chinese version written on it. It has nothing to do with being christian or trying to psycho people. I just think it's a meaningful quote that's all :)

As for the drawing, this is not the scanned copy so it looks rather flawed. All the same don't use without permission. Drew this as some sort of Vday thing coz I watched the anime and felt like it. Reference used from Pokemon anime episode titled "Wherefore art thou, Pokemon?". I'm not too sure who in the world should be credited for Pokemon but I do not own the two nidorans anw.

P.S. The guy nidoran is the pink one with the long ears and the blue one with the smaller horn is actually the female. And yes they are in love. (Say Awwwwwww :P)

9

2010-02-17T22:06:00.002+08:00

0990 is index no. 9 in S09. I see a lot of 9s.

Quick update. Lessons started proper today. So far still ok. Titration was boring, as usual.

Went for bowling training after school. It's my official CCA yay. Bye bye archery.

1000

2010-02-15T00:47:00.001+08:00

And because it seems like everybody does it, YAY 1000 days together. I'm super bored now coz he's not here and his connection in malaysia really really sucks so he keeps dc-ing :( Can't even talk to him meh. Want him back quick :/

999

2010-02-14T20:52:00.002+08:00

Today is indeed many many many days in one. It's the first day of CNY, Valentine's Day, and on top of that, it's also the 999th day we've been together :)

I didn't do ath for CNY except go to my grandma's house for 1 hour, and I'm not celebrating Vday since he's overseas, so I've just got a little something to say about these 999 days.

First of all, why am I so hyped about 999 days and not 1000? Actually, it's because 9 is my favourite number, along with 99, 999, 9999 and well you get the idea. My online nick 0990 was also formed with the number 99 as an inspiration. On the contrary, 1000 has always been, to me, a rather dull and boring number.

To my dear HS,

Just wanna say, these 999 days have been very very enjoyable. Truly, I enjoyed every moment spent with you. It's not so much the presents you give me, not the meals you treat me to, and not all the other material things that matter to me, but all the care and concern you've shown to me. I remember you looking after me when I'm sick, helping me with my work when I'm struggling, and going out of the way in order to help me solve my problems. Thank you so very very very very much :D

It's also Pumpkin's birthday today yay! ^^

On a side note, when I said I'm not celebrating Vday, I meant that I'm not celebrating it today. Why? Because my Valentine is currently in Malacca for CNY lol. Hope he comes back soon so we can go eat Fish & Co. like we planned :)

Pionero Imperio

2010-02-12T00:32:00.001+08:00

1 week in Pioneer Imperio. Orientation was great although it has its dull moments. The food for today's dinner was awesome too. I'm tired. Will update more tmr I think. Nights all.

Code Geass OPs

2010-02-09T00:25:00.003+08:00

Code Geass OPs 1-5. Out of them 4 is my favourite for some unknown reason o.o.

10S09

2010-02-08T21:58:00.003+08:00

10S09 - Corinth

FInally got to know what my class was today. Due to some strange stroke of luck, I'm in 10S09. For people unfamiliar with the way classes are named, the 10 means I was admitted in 2010, the S means I'm in Science stream, and the 09 is my class number :) I think it is lucky because the numbers 09 are actually part of my online nick 0990 ^^ Quite happy. Classmates seem pretty fun too, though didn't really get to know them very well today since it's only the first day I met them. My Civics Tutor is a self-proclaimed Terrorist and will also be my Chem lecturer so I hope I don't flunk Chem :/ Otherwise as long as she's not offended she seems like quite a nice albeit strict teacher :)

Orientation 2010 started proper today, with all the classes being split into different Clans namely: Corinth, Sparta, Troy, Athens, Babylon, Monaco. Each clan has 6 classes and S09 belongs to Corinth woots! which is good, since Red is my favourite colour. On top of all that, my class is kewl. There's someone with the same bday as me, and another Sophia whose bday is only 1 day ahead of mine. What a coincidence lol. Station games tmr, don't feel much like playing but I'll just go and try to have fun.

And we also learned one clan cheer today :D
C is for Corinth!
We love Corinth!
If you wanna hear us cheer,
Just shout Corinth!

Adios! ^^

Disillusioned Heroism ~THE HERO WITHOUT A "NAME"~

Smash the final glass to bits, kick out the familiar landscape
And jump clear of the daily grind where the world revolves in reverse

No matter where I face, I feel your shadow adjacent to mine
I chase after it in a trance, but I won't fulfill my ideal

Hope and an inferiority complex flow about inside me; one day, they'll change into terror

Even when the anxiety you keep pushing aside gives rise to agony again
And it's so painful you just want to run away, you're never alone

The wind that gently wraps me up fights; fantasies mix with courage and change into reality

Smash the final glass to bits, kick out the familiar landscape
And jump clear of the daily grind where the world revolves in reverse
He won't let anyone negate the existence of your own body and all that entails
The nameless hero who couldn't even fly will entrance the world

A moment's worth of glory, where honor and status won't turn to dust
It's so absurd to make mountains out of molehills

I'm not afraid of being charged with the sin of finding someone dear & forcing my will on her

Protect the light you believed in to the end; don't you want an ideal world?
Feel a reality that seems to go beyond lies and fight
He won't let anyone negate the existence of your own body and all that entails
The nameless hero who couldn't even fly will entrance the world

Smash the final glass to bits, kick out the familiar landscape
And next time the world revolves in reverse, I'll give it to you

Protect the light you believed in to the end; don't you want an ideal world?
Feel a reality that seems to go beyond lies and fight
He won't let anyone negate the existence of your own body and all that entails
The nameless hero who couldn't even fly will get a name for himself

Il Divo

2010-02-04T19:27:00.003+08:00

Hmm, for some reason, a lot of people are actually quite surprised that I like Il Divo songs. It's understandable, since they are a far cry from the usual upbeat dance tunes I listen to. Well, here are some reasons why I like Il Divo so much :)

1) Their songs help soothe my nerves. Very useful really.
2) Il Divo sounds as awesome live as they do in their albums, which is more than can be said for some singers.
3) Their songs always come with a very strong and beautiful orchestra backing, which makes them even more enjoyable.
4) Il Divo sings in multiple languages, which is interesting and really really cool.
5) They really have very awesome voices and sound really really awesome together plus, their songs are always very expressive.

I think I'll stop. Anyway, before I started listening to Il Divo, I used to listen to the Josh Groban CD that my mum liked to play in the car, but then his voice got boring after a while. I remember last time I used to think Urs looked scary(Wiki Il Divo if you don't know which one he is) lol.

Here's a vid of Il Divo's live performance of the song The Power of Love(La Fuerza Mayor), which is to date my favourite Il Divo song. And it is also as close to a MV as it gets really.

Ice Cream @ Swensen's

2010-02-03T21:44:00.004+08:00

Happy Birthday to my dear dear Huan Song!!!! :D

Went to BPP Swensen's for ice cream today to celebrate. I ate some yummy malt/chocolate ice cream thingy that was well, yum yum. HS ordered lamb chop and thanks to it being his bday Swensen's gave us a birthday firehouse ice cream for free too :) So it was lots lots lots of ice cream today lol. Hmm, it seems like just yesterday that he was still 16, in Sec 4, and wearing BPGHS uniform haha. Now he's 19, in NS, and wearing SAF uniform lol. Guess time does fly when you spend it with the people you love :)

So, a very happy birthday to my mentor, friend, tutor and of course BF. You really are the bestest ^^ May your year ahead be full of joy and laughter :D

***

Went for archery trials today with Cheryl. It went okok I suppose. IDK how to aim the goddamn thing, but I daresay I have an easier time than most drawing the bowstring back :) Hope I can get it, if not I'll got IT Club woots!

Random Nothings

2010-01-31T02:23:00.002+08:00

It takes a lot to be an accomplished musician. I wonder if I can make it meh. Right now it seems far beyond my reach. Hmm.

Absolutely Awesome

2010-01-28T23:06:00.002+08:00

Hmm... Now that I really think about it, I'm one lucky person lol. Both my music teachers are absolutely awesome meh. Hopefully someday I can play as well as them, though I kinda doubt if I can lol. Really, it's quite a privilege to be taught by two highly qualified and capable teachers, who at the same time are also understanding and patient. I daresay they are my absolute favourite teachers ever, especially my piano teacher, who has taught me for 10 years. She really watched me grow from some noob kiddy into whoever I am today. My time spent being taught by my violin teacher is way way way shorter at a mere 2 months, however, I am enjoying lessons a lot and have every intention of continuing lessons for a long time to come :)

Random post muhahaha. Sleeping soon yay. Nights all.

Pioneer Day 1

2010-01-28T21:03:00.003+08:00

Ok. Today was DAY 1 as a Pioneer JC student. I have to admit, all it did was make me rather irritated.

The day started of well, with everyone assembling in the hall according to our matriculation groups (MG). I happened to get into MG10 who had nobody I knew, until I started chatting and making new friends. THEN, I got the ridiculous Subject Combination Form which completely ruined my day. In short, because I do not have AMaths, PJ did not have a proper course to offer me, so they just threw in some random mix for me which I seriously disliked. So I grabbed an appeal form to fill it in. The odd thing is, if they knew I was not eligible for their Science Stream, WHY THE HELL did they admit me into their science stream anyway -_-

To make matters worse, early in the day there was a 2 hour long talk where we sat down in the hall plagued by starvation and leg cramps and boredom, after which, due to me having to see the teacher over my No AMaths Status, I had no time to eat during break. After break, there was this odd caterpillar game. Yes. ONE caterpillar game, before we went for campus tour. Dismissal after that, but I stayed on for the Econs introductory lecture.

Basically, I spent my first day as a Pioneer(Yes we are called Pioneers and the Principal says "Get used to it because we'll be addressing you this way.") doing nothing particularly interesting. Hopefully after we get into our classes on Monday for the real orientation things get much interesting. Before that, tomorrow will probably be just as boring as today.

If the silly appeal thing does not work, I am going to be so bloody pissed off.

Distorted Header

2010-01-27T20:25:00.004+08:00

I NEED HELP!!!!!

Anybody knows why the header has some distorted fonts? I had the same problem with my previous header just that I didn't fix it. The image was fine when I just uploaded it onto photobucket and used it as a header. After a while it started getting distorted. It has happened to some of the other images I hosted onto photobucket as well but I just cannot figure out what is the problem. Anybody knows??? :(

*EDIT*
I changed the header after adding some additional touches in photoshop. Therefore I have uploaded a screenshot of what the previous header looked like after distortion. The problem areas are circled.

The Beginning

2010-01-27T02:44:00.003+08:00

This piece was done with the thought that the new school year is about to begin. A new year, new school, new teachers, new friends. It's a new beginning, let this year be one full of changes for the better ok? :)

Last Day

2010-01-27T02:30:00.003+08:00

Today is pretty much the last day of holidays for me. From tomorrow onwards I'll have to report to whichever JC I got into - most likely PJC - and there will be orientation from friday all the way until next thursday. So far this has been a rather memorable and fulfilling holiday, and I managed to accomplish most of what I set out to do for this holidays. At the end of the O levels I wanted to:

1) Learn how to play the violin
2) Finish painting the rose
3) Do a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle
4) Touch up my room
5) Shop for clothes
6) Get a new pair of Converse shoes
7) Edit my blogskin
8) Clear out secondary school junk from my room
9) Spend time with my loved ones
10) Get ready whatever I need for the new school year

Out of those I've accomplished pretty much most of them :) So I am happy. Hopefully everyone manages to get into the school/course of their choice, and enjoy this next part of their journey in life ^^

On a side note: You are pissing me off. Just because I'm nobody important to you doesn't mean you can treat me like shit.

And another side note: The fish need feeding and the cactus needs watering and the bunny needs rest. Hang in there k. I know you can ;)

*Edit: I got into Pioneer JC :)

Retail Therapy

2010-01-24T22:35:00.003+08:00

Hmm. Recently went shopping with my mum for some new clothes and stuff. Went to Orchard Central yesterday to buy a new pair of converse shoes for school. Also bought 2 dresses for casual everyday wear and it's the first time in eons I've done that ._. Bought a new blouse for CNY too, though I'm not really going anywhere much this year. I daresay though I had to carry my shoes around for 6 hours or so yesterday, it was a highly rewarding day, and it did cheer me up from my melancholic mood the past few days :)

Learning new pieces for violin and piano. Both are killing me, and my fingers are beginning to callus, which is both good and bad. Oh, and I'm still Pika-crazy and keep wanting a pikachu like Ash's though I know it's not possible lol. XD

God Knows

2010-01-23T01:00:00.003+08:00

I've been listening to this song since I was sec 1 or 2, but never really paid attention to the lyrics :) It's from the anime Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu(The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi) and it's sung by the voice actor of the titular character. Red lyrics are the English translations.

God Knows - Hirano Aya

kawaita kokoro de kakenukeru
gomen ne nani mo dekinakute
itami wo wakachiau koto sae
anata wa yurushite kurenai

I run past others with a parched heart.
Sorry, I can't do anything.
You won't even let me
Share our pain together.

muku ni ikiru tame ni furimukazu
senaka mukete satteshimau
on the lonely rail

To live on without tarnish,
I face your back and head out without looking back
on the lonely rail

watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo
ima futari ni God bless...

I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless...

todokete atsuku naru omoi wa
genjitsu tokashite samayou
aitai kimochi ni riyuu wa nai
anata e afuredasu Lovin' you

This warming affection that reaches me,
It melts my reality and roams my heart.
I don't need a reason for wanting to meet you,
Just my overflowing feelings, Lovin' you

semete utsukushii yume dake wo
egakinagara oikakeyou
for your lonely heart

For now, let's paint a beautiful dream
And chase after
for your lonely heart

yamete uso wa anata rashikunai yo
me wo mite kore kara no koto wo hanasou
watashi kakugo shiteru
kurai mirai datte
tsuyoku natte unmei kaerareru kamo ne
my wish kanaetai noni
subete wa God knows...

Stop it, it's not like you to lie.
Look at my eyes and let's talk about our future.
I am prepared,
Even if the future is bleak,
I might be able to change destiny if I become stronger.
But for my wish to come true,
Everything is God knows...

anata ga ite watashi ga ite
hoka no hito wa kieteshimatta
awai yume no utsukushisa wo egakinagara
kizuato nazoru

You are here, I am here.
Everyone else has disappeared.
While we paint the beauty of this fleeting dream,
We trace out the lines of our scars.

dakara watashi tsuiteiku yo
donna tsurai sekai no yami no naka de sae
kitto anata wa kagayaite
koeru mirai no hate
yowasa yue ni tamashii kowasarenu you ni
my way kasanaru yo
ima futari ni God bless...

That's why I will follow you.
No matter how agonizing the world is,
You will shine even in its darkest corners.
Cross over the end of the future,
My weakness will not shatter my spirit.
my way is overlapping with yours.
For the two of us, God bless...

Rule the World

2010-01-23T00:52:00.002+08:00

Watched Stardust recently. Quite like the ending theme from the movie heh. Nice song ^^

Rule the World - Take That

You light, the skies up above me
A star, so bright you blind me
Don't close your eyes
Don't fade away
Don't fade away

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side, we can rule the world.

If walls break down, I will comfort you
If angels cry, oh I'll be there for you
You've saved my soul
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side, we can rule the world.

All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you,

Yeah you and me we can ride on a star
If you stay with me girl, we can rule the world
Yeah you and me we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side, we can rule the world.

All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you

JAE

2010-01-21T02:43:00.002+08:00

I can't wait for JAE posting results to come out. It is such a boring wait. More boring than waiting for Os results. Hope everyone gets into the school of their choice. Approx 1 more week before everyone finds out where they will be spending their next 2-3 years :)

Pikachu

2010-01-17T15:38:00.004+08:00

Was watching pokemon season 1 again and there was this episode where Pikachu went abolutely crazy over ketchup. It was so cute! So i went to google for images and found this one. Poor pikachu was so sad when the bottle of ketchup was broken by scyther :/

http://media.photobucket.com/image/pikachu%252527s%20ketchup/Valigarmander/Random%20Crap/1205817539628.png

Here's a vid showing Pikachu's ketchup craze ^^ Embed is disabled so just click on the link :)

Pikachu is seriously turning into my fav pokemon ever lmao. XP

Enlistment

2010-01-14T02:04:00.002+08:00

WAHAHA the 2 army boys. Looking smart in uniform worh. You two are the best! :D

Cheers

2010-01-12T00:12:00.002+08:00

在万紫千红的原野里，我看见了你。在娇嫩盈盈的小手里，我看上了你。

Cheers to everything, to success, to life. A new chapter for both of us :) Let's make it an awesome one together.

Results

2010-01-11T22:07:00.006+08:00

Today was the day we got our results for the 2009 GCE O Level Examinations. And it officially marks the last day we will ever be wearing BPGHS uniform.

I do not think I will post what I got for individual subjects. Can ask me if you want. All I can say is I did achieve my targets which are: L1R5 below 10, Distinction for EMaths. And I passed Combined Humanities which was very very very unexpected.

Thanks to Huan Song who helped to tutor me for my Maths, who pulled my drowning EMaths out of the river called D7 :) And for all the extra tutoring here and there. We finally did it yay! The A belongs to both of us ^^

Thanks to Yikai for letting me have a nice peaceful place to mug and for the two super cute cats who cheered me up whenever I felt very very sian from mugging :)

Thanks to all the teachers for the help, teaching, and tips :)

Thanks to my family for the support :)

Thanks to everyone else who ever bothered to coach me whenever I had problems with my work :)

How do I feel about my results?
I feel as happy as a nazgul about to stab Frodo with a wicked morgul blade :D And at the same time as disappointed as a hobbit who just ran out of Longbottom Leaf :/

Pokemon

2010-01-08T01:09:00.002+08:00

Recently I downloaded a gameboy advance emulator and pokemon fire red for my pc. Feels so fun to play such a classic game that I have not played since years and years back when my GB cartridge spoilt. Still, it's just not the same as bringing it out and trading it with friends and all that. Better than nothing though.

It's 1 week into 2010 but not even a month away from 2010 if you look at the lunar calender. The New Year according to the lunar calender falls on Feb14 of the gregorion. Such an unusual coincidence that Vday and Chinese New Year fall on the same day. Which is also such a bummer meh -_- Nevermind why lol.

'O'Level results come out on monday. I feel so !@#$%^&*-ing nervous :S Hope it's not a disaster. Really really hope it's not a disaster. And it sucks that you're off to be a soldier on Monday too :/

This year seems full of coinciding dates o.o

LOTR Vids

2010-01-04T00:23:00.002+08:00

Recently I feel like I'm going crazy over LOtR all over again @_@
I so very very very much want the LOTR version of monopoly meh. But I think it's at least 80plus or 100 dollars zzz. :(

Enter 2010

2010-01-01T00:02:00.004+08:00

Happy New Year everyone!! It's finally 2010 :)

2009 has been a very eventful and enjoyable year. Many things have happened both good and bad and here I would like to thank everyone who has helped make my 2009 a very memorable one :) Just a few short messages to some of the people who have made an impact in my 2009.

My Family:
Thank you for giving me a nice environment to mug for Os and for looking after me and giving in to me all the time :)

Huan Song:
Thank you so very very much for always being there for me. Sorry for all the times I made you put up with my nonsense heh. Thank you also for being such a caring and thoughtful companion and mentor. All the best in NS ^^

4L1:
Thank you for making my school life so colourful and fun. You guys are great classmates and I hope everyone achieves their target for Os and get into the school of their choice. All the best for the future :)

Adila & Weixuan:
Thanks for being such good friends to me and for looking after me in school whenever I don't feel well. You guys rock. Hope both of you obtain good results for Os :D

Yikai & the "F4":
I've only met you guys a few times but I enjoyed the time spent hanging out with you guys. And thanks to Yikai for letting me chill at your house and playing with your cats :) All the best in NS and in all future studies. :D I also know none of you will actually see this but nvm lol.

Amirul:
Dude! Thanks for being an awesome friend to hang out and chat with. Hope your 2010 will be a happy one :)

Minghan:
Thanks for being such a random and fun person to talk to lol. Your random comments always make me laugh so thanks XD

Timothy:
It's been nice being friends with you. All the best for the coming years.

Guides:
You all have taught me a lot actually although I am not really close to you all. Thank you for everything. All the best for the coming year!

Teachers:
Thanks for all the coaching and tips for Os.

That's all I have to say I guess. Happy 2010 to one and all!

Merry Christmas

2009-12-25T00:39:00.003+08:00

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. 2009 has been an awfully dramatic year for me but still full of happy moments. Friends were made and friends were lost, not to mention the O'levels that now seem a thing of distant past. I hope everyone gets what they want for Christmas this year :)

Merry Christmas to you, can't wait for you to be back. Today as I was in the auditorium amidst all the lights and the sounds and the crowds I still found myself wishing you were here. I look forward to next week ;)

Shrek

2009-12-23T23:22:00.002+08:00

Rewatched the 3 Shrek movies recently since I have it on my computer, and also because I am terribly bored. The story is very amusing. And...

Puss in Boots is so uber cute! And it has colouring similar to one of Yikai's cats o.o

Why

2009-12-23T01:50:00.003+08:00

Why is it that even though we're miles apart I can still feel your presence and yet it makes me depressed because that presence is not the manifestation of your physical self :(

Oh how I wish you were back.

Template Update

2009-12-21T22:30:00.003+08:00

Edited my blog template today. Did up a new header and changed a few icons here and there. This template will hopefully last me throughout the coming year. Colour scheme wise it is still red, black, white and gray. This time round i wanted to keep the header simple and to the point so here it is. Nothing fancy, just a few photos from my image collection. All taken with my Sony DSC-T100. As for memories, well, photos are memories in a sense I think. Anyone who can tell me what the line of dark red words at the bottom say gets a cookie :)

Violin

2009-12-20T00:05:00.003+08:00

Finally got my own violin today. Bought it at Synwin, Tanjong Katong Complex for a never-expected-my-mum-to-get-it kind of price. Guess and if you're correct I'll tell you lol. Pics!!

My new violin. Klaus Heffler model 702. With case, bow, rosin and shoulder rest.

Gotta love my 702.

The bridge and my Dominant strings and new E String.

My bow.

The wood grain of my violin. Closeup. I like the grain :)

2nd lesson tomorrow. Mr Siew had me play twinkle twinkle little stars last week lmao. Wonder what he'll say about the violin and the playing tmr lol.

Violin

2009-12-13T22:07:00.002+08:00

Went for my first violin lesson today. It was super fun, although I felt kinda silly repeating the same mistakes again and again :/ But the teacher was real nice ^^ I learned a very important lesson though.

I MUST RELAX!

Both my teachers keep asking me to relax but i just don't seem to be able to do so :/ Maybe i should inhale lots of lavender scent before i play o.o

Will be going down to get my violin sometime this week and then lesson again on sunday lol. YAY!!

Buys

2009-11-29T22:05:00.002+08:00

Went shopping at Sim Lim Square and Plaza Singapura today. Bought a new mouse, mousepad, cushion, and jigsaw puzzle. The mouse I got was a logitech G5 and the mousepad is from steelseries. Rather satisfied with my buys today. Will post more later when i take photo of my mouse.

Home Sweet Home

2009-11-28T20:30:00.001+08:00

Felt so happy to finally be back in Singapore. Cambodia was fun, but I miss my room meh. Will update again at the later date. Too tired lol.

Pre Trip

2009-11-25T01:01:00.002+08:00

Just got back from prom an hour ago or so. It was fun. Unfortunately, I'm leaving for Cambodia tmr morning so I have no time to post in detail about prom. When I get back I'll upload photos onto facebook i think.

I wish you could have been there.

I'll miss you so much while I'm gone. :(

You must jiayou jiayou k :)

Meanwhile, good luck to all my friends in 08S29 for the last few papers! ^^

I'll be back on saturday afternoon :D

Random Nothings

2009-11-22T00:32:00.002+08:00

I have not been posting because I cannot think of anything to post. Wanted to post about the campfire on thu but i forgot to bring my camera to the campfire therefore i have nothing to post about. Kambing passed me my belated birthday present, a F22 model plane kit :) Really like it, although just looking at all the parts and instructions make me feel so intimidated. Heh, after I get back from Cambodia I'll get started on it hmm. Don't want to do it halfway and then have to leave it for days. Anyway, been entertaining myself by watching Code Geass and Code Geass R2. I think it is a really good anime and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an interesting and well-developed anime. Speaking of which, I just finished the whole 2 seasons. Poor Lulu :(

Go figure.

Somehow, I am hooked on to the creepy sounding end theme rom the 2nd season. Nevermind the creepy lyrics that go along with the song o.o

What strange taste I have in music. Here's the first opening of the first season. :)

Happy Holidays all! ^^

Final 2

2009-11-12T00:09:00.002+08:00

Last wednesday, my family and I went to Fish & Co at Great World City to celebrate my birthday. Really enjoyed the meal. Then my mum got me two pairs of earrings and my bro agreed to sponsor my new mouse. Then on saturday, I went to vivo with HS to celebrate again. As usual we ate at White Dog Cafe which is, if not the most, then one of my favourite restaurants in singapore. Absolutely love the clam chowder, smoked salmon pizza and lobster bisque. The other items on the menu aren't bad too, just never got to try many of them yet.

Anyway, thanks to Weixuan, Adila, Eunice Seow and HS for the prezzies. I love all of them lol. They're all so cute meh. :D And the two post-it style notepads are great. I'll post pics of the prezzies after the Os :)

The last two papers are finally here. Bio and Chem MCQ today and tomorrow respectively. Good luck everyone ^^

Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo Opening. I couldn't find a proper opening vid.

You're The One - Ichiko

You’re the one boku no mirai o ageru
Mejirushi no nai michi mo heiki sa futari nara

Saki no mienai tabi mayoinagara mitsuketa yo
Boku no iru basho kimi no tonari

Kenkashite nando mo hanashita sono te

***

You’re the one who gives me my future
Even on a road without signs, I’ll be fine, if we’re together

On a journey that I can’t see ahead of, while I was lost, I found it
That my place to be is next to you

When we quarreled, I let go of your hand again and again
I want to pull close and hold it now

You’re the one who gives me my future
If I’m beaten down by the rain of tears
I wanna hold you, call my name immediately
I’ll go embrace you
I’ll accept sadness and bluffing in my hands

Even if it was a coincidence, our fingers that suddenly touched grew hot
Hold your breath in a second of night

Let’s make a promise more certain than words
Kiss me for the second time now

You’re the one, I want your future
I want to undo the button of my heart
I wanna hold you, hey, believe in my feelings
I won’t ever hesitate again
I’ll straightforwardly accept your selfishness and loneliness

Our hearts are separated by thoughts that pass each other by
I want to pull close and hold you, that’s right

You’re the one, underneath the moonlight
I’ll vow to never let you cry

You’re the one who gives me my future
If I’m beaten down by the rain of tears
I wanna hold you, call my name immediately
I’ll go embrace you
I’ll accept sadness and bluffing in my hands

Evil Overlord List Cellblock B

2009-10-21T15:31:00.002+08:00

And here is Cellblock B! (And here's Evil Overlord List & Cellblock A ^^)

If I were an Evil Overlord...

201. Under no circumstances will I ever, EVER give a weapon back to the hero engaged with me in a duel. Sporting chances are for sissies.

202. All giant serpents acting as guardians in underground lakes will be fitted with sports goggles to prevent eye injuries.

203. All crones with the ability to prophesy will be given free facelifts, permanents, manicures, and Donna Karan wardrobes. That should pretty well destroy their credibility.

204. I will not employ an evil wizard if he has a sleazy mustache.

205. I will hire an entire squad of blind guards. Not only is this in keeping with my status as an equal opportunity employer, but it will come in handy when the hero becomes invisible or douses my only light source.

206. All repair work will be done by an in-house maintenance staff. Any alleged "repairmen" who show up at the fortress will be escorted to the dungeon.

207. When my Legions of Terror park their vehicle to do reconnaissance on foot, they will be instructed to employ The Club.

208. Employees will have conjugal visit trailers which they may use provided they call in a replacement and sign out on the timesheet. Given this, anyone caught making out in a closet while leaving their station unmonitored will be shot.

209. Members of my Legion of Terror will attend seminars on Sensitivity Training. It's good public relations for them to be kind and courteous to the general population when not actively engaged in sowing chaos and destruction.

210. I will not, under any circumstances, marry a woman I know to be a faithless, conniving, back-stabbing witch simply because I am absolutely desperate to perpetuate my family line. Of course, we can still date.

211. All guest-quarters will be bugged and monitored so that I can keep track of what the visitors I have for some reason allowed to roam about my fortress are actually plotting.

212. If my chief engineer displeases me, he will be shot, not imprisoned in the dungeon or beyond the traps he helped design.

213. I will not send out battalions composed wholly of robots or skeletons against heroes who have qualms about killing living beings.

214. I will not wear long, heavy cloaks. While they certainly make a bold fashion statement, they have an annoying tendency to get caught in doors or tripped over during an escape.

215. If a malignant being demands a sacrificial victim have a particular quality, I will check to make sure said victim has this quality immediately before the sacrifice and not rely on earlier results. (Especially if the quality is virginity and the victim is the hero's girlfriend.)

216. If I ever MUST put a digital timer on my doomsday device, I will buy one free from quantum mechanical anomalies. So many brands on the market keep perfectly good time while you're looking at them, but whenever you turn away for a couple minutes then turn back, you find that the countdown has progressed by only a few seconds.

217. If my Legions of Terror are defeated in a battle, I will quietly withdraw and regroup instead of launching a haphazard mission to assassinate the hero.

218. If I'm wearing the key to the hero's shackles around my neck and his former girlfriend now volunteers to become my mistress and we are all alone in my bedchamber on my bed and she offers me a goblet of wine, I will politely decline the offer.

219. I will not pick up a glowing ancient artifact and shout "Its power is now mine!!!" Instead I will grab some tongs, transfer it to a hazardous materials container, and transport it back to my lab for study.

220. I will be selective in the hiring of assassins. Anyone who attempts to strike down the hero the first instant his back is turned will not even be considered for the job.

221. Whatever my one vulnerability is, I will fake a different one. For example, ordering all mirrors removed from the palace, screaming and flinching whenever someone accidentally holds up a mirror, etc. In the climax when the hero whips out a mirror and thrusts it at my face, my reaction will be "Hmm...I think I need a shave."

222. My force-field generators will be located inside the shield they generate.

223. I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious. However if I do so, I will not at some subsequent point shout "Why am I surrounded by these incompetent fools?!"

224. I will install a fire extinguisher in every room — three, if the room contains vital equipment or volatile chemicals.

225. I will build machines which simply fail when overloaded, rather than wipe out all nearby henchmen in an explosion or worse yet set off a chain reaction. I will do this by using devices known as "surge protectors".

226. I will explain to my guards that most people have their eyes in the front of their heads and thus while searching for someone it makes little sense to draw a weapon and slowly back down the hallway.

227. I will have a staff of competent detectives handy. If I learn that someone in a certain village is plotting against me, I will have them find out who rather than wipe out the entire village in a preemptive strike.

228. I will never bait a trap with genuine bait.

229. If the hero claims he wishes to confess in public or to me personally, I will remind him that a notarized deposition will serve just as well.

230. If I have several diabolical schemes to destroy the hero, I will set all of them in motion at once rather than wait for them to fail and launch them successively.

231. I will not procrastinate regarding any ritual granting immortality.

232. Mythical guardians will be instructed to ask visitors name, purpose of visit, and whether they have an appointment instead of ancient riddles.

233. If I do outfit my minions with gas masks or scuba equipment I will ensure that the equipment is functional and I will train them to use gas weapons.

234. I will instruct my minions to attack the hero at once if they outnumber him. They are NOT to attack him one at a time.

235. I will fight as dirty as possible when facing the hero.

236. I will also instruct my minions to also fight as dirty as possible and to fight with whatever they can find.

237. I will have all hallways in my fortress randomly shift in decoration and color to negate the possibility of anyone blending in to the surroundings.

238. I will always listen if a child of the members of my inner circle tells me they have something important to say.

Evil Overlord List Cellblock A

2009-10-21T14:45:00.004+08:00

Here's a continuation of the previous Evil Overlord List

If I were an Evil Overlord...

101. I will not order my trusted lieutenant to kill the infant who is destined to overthrow me — I'll do it myself.

102. I will not waste time making my enemy's death look like an accident — I'm not accountable to anyone and my other enemies wouldn't believe it.

103. I will make it clear that I do know the meaning of the word "mercy"; I simply choose not show them any.

104. My undercover agents will not have tattoos identifying them as members of my organization, nor will they be required to wear military boots or adhere to any other dress
codes.

105. I will design all doomsday machines myself. If I must hire a Mad Scientist to assist me, I will make sure that he is sufficiently twisted to never regret his evil ways and seek to undo the damage he's caused. I will also make sure that he does not have an extremely beautiful and extremely impressionable daughter.

106. If my supreme command center comes under attack, I will immediately flee to safety in my prepared escape pod and direct the defenses from there. I will not wait until the troops break into my inner sanctum to attempt this.

107. Even though I don't really care because I plan on living forever, I will hire engineers who are able to build me a fortress sturdy enough that, if I am slain, it won't tumble to the ground for no good structural reason.

108. Any and all magic and/or technology that can miraculously resurrect a secondary character who has given up his/her life through self sacrifice will be outlawed and destroyed.

109. I will see to it that plucky young lads/lasses in strange clothes and with the accent of an outlander shall REGULARLY climb some monument in the main square of my capital and denounce me, claim to know the secret of my power, rally the masses to rebellion, etc. That way, the citizens will be jaded in case the real thing ever comes along.

110. I will not employ devious schemes that involve the hero's party getting into my inner sanctum before the trap is sprung.

111. I will offer oracles the choice of working exclusively for me or being executed.

112. I will not rely entirely upon "totally reliable" spells that can be neutralized by relatively inconspicuous talismans.

113. I will make the main entrance to my fortress standard-sized. While elaborate 60-foot high double-doors definitely impress the masses, they are hard to close quickly in an emergency.

114. I will never accept a challenge from the hero.

115. I will not engage an enemy single-handedly until all my soldiers are dead.

116. If I capture the hero's starship, I will keep it in the landing bay with the ramp down, only a few token guards on duty and a ton of explosives set to go off as soon as it clears the blast-range.

117. No matter how much I want revenge, I will never order an underling "Leave him. He's mine!"

118. If I have equipment which performs an important function, it will not be activated by a lever that someone could trigger by accidentally falling on when fatally wounded.

119. I will not attempt to kill the hero by placing a venomous creature in his room. It will just wind up accidentally killing one of my clumsy henchmen instead.

120. Since nothing is more irritating than a hero defeating you with basic math skills, all of my personal weapons will be modified to fire one more shot than the standard issue.

121. If I come into possession of an artifact which can only be used by the pure of heart, I will not attempt to use it regardless.

122. The gun turrets on my fortress will not rotate enough so that they may direct fire inward or at each other.

123. If I decide to hold a contest of skill open to the general public, contestants will be required to remove their hooded cloaks and shave their beards before entering.

124. Prior to kidnapping an older male scientist and forcing him to work for me, I will investigate his offspring and make sure that he has neither a beautiful but naive daughter who is willing to risk anything to get him back, nor an estranged son who works in the same field
but had a falling-out with his father many years ago.

125. Should I actually decide to kill the hero in an elaborate escape-proof deathtrap room (water filling up, sand pouring down, walls converging, etc.) I will not leave him alone five to ten minutes prior to "imminent" death, but will instead (finding a vantage point or monitoring camera) stick around and enjoy watching my adversary's demise.

126. Rather than having only one secret escape pod, which the hero can easily spot and follow, I'll simultaneously launch a few dozen decoys to throw him off track.

127. Prison guards will have their own cantina featuring a wide variety of tasty treats that will deliver snacks to the guards while on duty. The guards will also be informed that accepting food or drink from any other source will result in execution.

128. I will not employ robots as agents of destruction if there is any possible way that they can be re-programmed or if their battery packs are externally mounted and easily removable.

129. Despite the delicious irony, I will not force two heroes to fight each other in the arena.

130. All members of my Legions of Terror will have professionally tailored uniforms. If the hero knocks a soldier unconscious and steals the uniform, the poor fit will give him away.

131. I will never place the key to a cell just out of a prisoner's reach.

132. Before appointing someone as my trusted lieutenant, I will conduct a thorough background investigation and security clearance.

133. If I find my beautiful consort with access to my fortress has been associating with the hero, I'll have her executed. It's regrettable, but new consorts are easier to get than new fortresses and maybe the next one will pay attention at the orientation meeting.

134. If I am escaping in a large truck and the hero is pursuing me in a small Italian sports car, I will not wait for the hero to pull up along side of me and try to force him off the road as he attempts to climb aboard. Instead I will slam on the brakes when he's directly behind me. (A rudimentary knowledge of physics can prove quite useful.)

135. My doomsday machine will have a highly-advanced technological device called a capacitor in case someone inconveniently pulls the plug at the last second. (If I have access to REALLY advanced technology, I will include a back-up device known as a battery.)

136. If I build a bomb, I will simply remember which wire to cut if it has to be deactivated and make every wire red.

137. Before spending available funds on giant gargoyles, gothic arches, or other cosmetically intimidating pieces of architecture, I will see if there are any valid military expenditures that could use the extra budget.

138. The passageways to and within my domain will be well-lit with fluorescent lighting. Regrettably, the spooky atmosphere will be lost, but my security patrols will be more effective.

139. If I'm sitting in my camp, hear a twig snap, start to investigate, then encounter a small woodland creature, I will send out some scouts anyway just to be on the safe side. (If they disappear into the foliage, I will not send out another patrol; I will break out the napalm.)

140. I will instruct my guards when checking a cell that appears empty to look for the chamber pot. If the chamber pot is still there, then the prisoner has escaped and they may enter and search for clues. If the chamber pot is not there, then either the prisoner is perched above the lintel waiting to strike them with it or else he decided to take it as a souvenir (in which case he is obviously deeply disturbed and poses no threat). Either way, there's no point in entering.

141. As an alternative to not having children, I will have lots of children. My sons will be too busy jockeying for position to ever be a real threat, and the daughters will all sabotage each other's attempts to win the hero.

142. If I have children and subsequently grandchildren, I will keep my three-year-old granddaughter near me at all times. When the hero enters to kill me, I will ask him to first explain to her why it is necessary to kill her beloved grandpa. When the hero launches into an explanation of morality way over her head, that will be her cue to pull the lever and send him into the pit of crocodiles. After all, small children like crocodiles almost as much as Evil Overlords and it's important to spend quality time with the grandkids.

143. If one of my daughters actually manages to win the hero and openly defies me, I will congratulate her on her choice, declare a national holiday to celebrate the wedding, and proclaim the hero my heir. This will probably be enough to break up the relationship. If not, at least I am assured that no hero will attack my Legions of Terror when they are holding a parade in his honor.

144. I will order my guards to stand in a line when they shoot at the hero so he cannot duck and have them accidentally shoot each other. Also, I will order some to aim above, below, and to the sides so he cannot jump out of the way.

145. My dungeon cell decor will not feature exposed pipes. While they add to the gloomy atmosphere, they are good conductors of vibrations and a lot of prisoners know Morse code.

146. If my surveillance reports any un-manned or seemingly innocent ships found where they are not supposed to be, they will be immediately vaporized instead of brought in for salvage.

147. I will classify my lieutenants in three categories: untrusted, trusted, and completely trusted. Promotion to the third category will be awarded posthumously.

148. Before ridiculing my enemies for wasting time on a device to stop me that couldn't possibly work, I will first acquire a copy of the schematics and make sure that in fact it couldn't possibly work.

149. Ropes supporting various fixtures will not be tied next to open windows or staircases, and chandeliers will be hung way at the top of the ceiling.

150. I will provide funding and research to develop tactical and strategic weapons covering a full range of needs so my choices are not limited to "hand to hand combat with swords" and "blow up the planet".

151. I will not set myself up as a god. That perilous position is reserved for my trusted lieutenant.

152. I will instruct my fashion designer that when it comes to accessorizing, second-chance body armor goes well with every outfit.

153. My Legions of Terror will be an equal-opportunity employer. Conversely, when it is prophesied that no man can defeat me, I will keep in mind the increasing number of non-traditional gender roles.

154. I will instruct my Legions of Terror in proper search techniques. In particular, if they
are searching for escapees and someone shouts, "Quick! They went that way!", they must first ascertain the identity of this helpful informant before dashing off in hot pursuit.

155. If I know of any heroes in the land, I will not under any circumstance kill their mentors, teachers, and/or best friends.

156. If I have the hero and his party trapped, I will not wait until my Superweapon charges to finish them off if more conventional means are available.

157. Whenever plans are drawn up that include a time-table, I'll post-date the completion 3 days after it's actually scheduled to occur and not worry too much if they get stolen.

158. I will exchange the labels on my folder of top-secret plans and my folder of family recipes. Imagine the hero's surprise when he decodes the stolen plans and finds instructions for Grandma's Potato Salad.

159. If I burst into rebel headquarters and find it deserted except for an odd, blinking device, I will not walk up and investigate; I'll run like hell.

160. Before being accepted into my Legions of Terror, potential recruits will have to pass peripheral vision and hearing tests, and be able to recognize the sound of a pebble thrown to distract them.

161. I will occasionally vary my daily routine and not live my life in a rut. For example, I will not always take a swig of wine or ring a giant gong before finishing off my enemy.

162. If I steal something very important to the hero, I will not put it on public display.

163. When planning an expedition, I will choose a route for my forces that does not go through thick, leafy terrain conveniently located near the rebel camp.

164. I will hire one hopelessly stupid and incompetent lieutenant, but make sure that he is full of misinformation when I send him to capture the hero.

165. As an equal-opportunity employer, I will have several hearing-impaired body-guards. That way if I wish to speak confidentially with someone, I'll just turn my back so the guards can't read my lips instead of sending all of them out of the room.

166. If the rebels manage to trick me, I will make a note of what they did so that I do not keep falling for the same trick over and over again.

167. If I am recruiting to find someone to run my computer systems, and my choice is between the brilliant programmer who's head of the world's largest international technology conglomerate and an obnoxious 15-year-old dork who's trying to impress his dream girl, I'll take the brat and let the hero get stuck with the genius.

168. I will plan in advance what to do with each of my enemies if they are captured. That way, I will never have to order someone to be tied up while I decide his fate.

169. If I have massive computer systems, I will take at least as many precautions as a small business and include things such as virus-scans and firewalls.

170. I will be an equal-opportunity despot and make sure that terror and oppression is distributed fairly, not just against one particular group that will form the core of a rebellion.

171. I will not locate a base in a volcano, cave, or any other location where it would be ridiculously easy to bypass security by rapelling down from above.

172. I will allow guards to operate under a flexible work schedule. That way if one is feeling sleepy, he can call for a replacement, punch out, take a nap, and come back refreshed and alert to finish out his shift.

173. Although it would provide amusement, I will not confess to the hero's rival that I was the one who committed the heinous act for which he blames the hero.

174. If I am dangling over a precipice and the hero reaches his hand down to me, I will not attempt to pull him down with me. I will allow him to rescue me, thank him properly, then return to the safety of my fortress and order his execution.

175. I will have my fortress exorcized regularly. Although ghosts in the dungeon provide an appropriate atmosphere, they tend to provide valuable information once placated.

176. I will add indelible dye to the moat. It won't stop anyone from swimming across, but even dim-witted guards should be able to figure out when someone has entered in this fashion.

177. If a scientist with a beautiful and unmarried daughter refuses to work for me, I will not hold her hostage. Instead, I will offer to pay for her future wedding and her children's college tuition.

178. If I have the hero cornered and am about to finish him off and he says "Look out behind you!!" I will not laugh and say "You don't expect me to fall for that old trick, do you?" Instead I will take a step to the side and half turn. That way I can still keep my weapon trained on the hero, I can scan the area behind me, and if anything was heading for me it will now be heading for him.

179. I will not outsource core functions.

180. If I ever build a device to transfer the hero's energy into me, I will make sure it cannot operate in reverse.

181. I will decree that all hay be shipped in tightly-packed bales. Any wagonload of loose hay attempting to pass through a checkpoint will be set on fire.

182. I will not hold any sort of public celebration within my castle walls. Any event open to members of the public will be held down the road in the festival pavilion.

183. Before using any device which transfers energy directly into my body, I will install a surge suppressor.

184. I will hire a drama coach. The hero will think it must be a case of mistaken identity when confronted by my Minnesota accent (if everyone sounds American) or my Cornwall accent (if everyone sounds British).

185. If I capture an enemy known for escaping via ingenious and fantastic little gadgets, I will order a full cavity search and confiscate all personal items before throwing him in my dungeon.

186. I will not devise any scheme in which Part A consists of tricking the hero into unwittingly helping me and Part B consists of laughing at him then leaving him to his own devices.

187. I will not hold lavish banquets in the middle of a famine. The good PR among the guests doesn't make up for the bad PR among the masses.

188. I will funnel some of my ill-gotten gains into urban renewal projects. Although slums add a quaint and picturesque quality to any city, they too often contain unexpected allies for heroes.

189. I will never tell the hero "Yes I was the one who did it, but you'll never be able to prove it to that incompetent old fool." Chances are, that incompetent old fool is standing behind the curtain.

190. If my mad scientist/wizard tells me he has almost perfected my Superweapon but it still needs more testing, I will wait for him to complete the tests. No one ever conquered the world using a beta version.

191. I will not appoint a relative to my staff of advisors. Not only is nepotism the cause of most breakdowns in policy, but it also causes trouble with the EEOC.

192. If I appoint someone as my consort, I will not subsequently inform her that she is being replaced by a younger, more attractive woman.

193. If I am using the hero's girlfriend as a hostage and am holding her at the point of imminent death when confronting the hero, I will focus on her and not him. He won't try anything with his true love held hostage. On the other hand, the fact that she has been weak, slow-witted, naive and generally useless up to this point has no bearing on her actions at the moment of dramatic climax.

194. I will make several ludicrously erroneous maps to secret passages in my fortress and hire travellers to entrust them to aged hermits.

195. I will not use hostages as bait in a trap. Unless you're going to use them for negotiation or as human shields, there's no point in taking them.

196. I will hire an expert marksman to stand by the entrance to my fortress. His job will be to shoot anyone who rides up to challenge me.

197. I will explain to my Legions of Terror that guns are ranged weapons and swords are not. Anyone who attempts to throw a sword at the hero or club him with a gun will be summarily executed.

198. I will remember that any vulnerabilities I have are to be revealed strictly on a need-to-know basis. I will also remember that no one needs to know.

199. I will not make alliances with those more powerful than myself. Such a person would only double-cross me in my moment of glory. I will make alliances with those less powerful than myself. I will then double-cross them in their moment of glory.

200. During times of peace, my Legions of Terror will not be permitted to lie around drinking mead and eating roast boar. Instead they will be required to obey my dietician and my aerobics instructor.

Evil Overlord List

2009-10-18T19:03:00.006+08:00

This kept me amused while I was reading it lawl. XD

If I were an Evil Overlord...

1. My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.

2. My ventilation ducts will be too small to crawl through.

3. My noble half-brother whose throne I usurped will be killed, not kept anonymously imprisoned in a forgotten cell of my dungeon.

4. Shooting is not too good for my enemies.

5. The artifact which is the source of my power will not be kept on the Mountain of Despair beyond the River of Fire guarded by the Dragons of Eternity. It will be in my safe-deposit box.
The same applies to the object which is my one weakness.

6. I will not gloat over my enemies' predicament before killing them.

7. When I've captured my adversary and he says, "Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?" I'll say, "No." and shoot him. No, on second thought I'll shoot him then say "No."

8. After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks' time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.

9. I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labelled "Danger: Do Not Push". The big red button marked "Do Not Push" will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labelled as such.

10. I will not interrogate my enemies in the inner sanctum — a small hotel well outside my borders will work just as well.

11. I will be secure in my superiority. Therefore, I will feel no need to prove it by leaving clues in the form of riddles or leaving my weaker enemies alive to show they pose no threat.

12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.

13. All slain enemies will be cremated, or at least have several rounds of ammunition emptied into them, not left for dead at the bottom of the cliff. The announcement of their deaths, as well as any accompanying celebration, will be deferred until after the aforementioned disposal.

14. The hero is not entitled to a last kiss, a last cigarette, or any other form of last request.

15. I will never employ any device with a digital countdown. If I find that such a device is absolutely unavoidable, I will set it to activate when the counter reaches 117 and the hero is just putting his plan into operation.

16. I will never utter the sentence "But before I kill you, there's just one thing I want to know."

17. When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.

18. I will not have a son. Although his laughably under-planned attempt to usurp power would easily fail, it would provide a fatal distraction at a crucial point in time.

19. I will not have a daughter. She would be as beautiful as she was evil, but one look at the hero's rugged countenance and she'd betray her own father.

20. Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it's too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.

21. I will hire a talented fashion designer to create original uniforms for my Legions of Terror, as opposed to some cheap knock-offs that make them look like Nazi stormtroopers, Roman footsoldiers, or savage Mongol hordes. All were eventually defeated and I want my troops to have a more positive mind-set.

22. No matter how tempted I am with the prospect of unlimited power, I will not consume any energy field bigger than my head.

23. I will keep a special cache of low-tech weapons and train my troops in their use. That way — even if the heroes manage to neutralize my power generator and/or render the standard-issue energy weapons useless — my troops will not be overrun by a handful of savages armed with spears and rocks.

24. I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line "No, This Cannot Be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!" (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)

25. No matter how well it would perform, I will never construct any sort of machinery which is completely indestructible except for one small and virtually inaccessible vulnerable spot.

26. No matter how attractive certain members of the rebellion are, there is probably someone just as attractive who is not desperate to kill me. Therefore, I will think twice before ordering a prisoner sent to my bedchamber.

27. I will never build only one of anything important. All important systems will have redundant control panels and power supplies. For the same reason I will always carry at least two fully loaded weapons at all times.

28. My pet monster will be kept in a secure cage from which it cannot escape and into which I could not accidentally stumble.

29. I will dress in bright and cheery colors, and so throw my enemies into confusion.

30. All bumbling conjurers, clumsy squires, no-talent bards, and cowardly thieves in the land will be preemptively put to death. My foes will surely give up and abandon their quest if they have no source of comic relief.

31. All naive, busty tavern wenches in my realm will be replaced with surly, world-weary waitresses who will provide no unexpected reinforcement and/or romantic subplot for the hero or his sidekick.

32. I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.

33. I won't require high-ranking female members of my organization to wear a stainless-steel bustier. Morale is better with a more casual dress-code. Similarly, outfits made entirely from black leather will be reserved for formal occasions.

34. I will not turn into a snake. It never helps.

35. I will not grow a goatee. In the old days they made you look diabolic. Now they just make you look like a disaffected member of Generation X.

36. I will not imprison members of the same party in the same cell block, let alone the same cell. If they are important prisoners, I will keep the only key to the cell door on my person instead of handing out copies to every bottom-rung guard in the prison.

37. If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he's my trusted lieutenant.

38. If an enemy I have just killed has a younger sibling or offspring anywhere, I will find them and have them killed immediately, instead of waiting for them to grow up harboring feelings of vengeance towards me in my old age.

39. If I absolutely must ride into battle, I will certainly not ride at the forefront of my Legions of Terror, nor will I seek out my opposite number among his army.

40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.

41. Once my power is secure, I will destroy all those pesky time-travel devices.

42. When I capture the hero, I will make sure I also get his dog, monkey, ferret, or whatever sickeningly cute little animal capable of untying ropes and filching keys happens to follow him around.

43. I will maintain a healthy amount of skepticism when I capture the beautiful rebel and she claims she is attracted to my power and good looks and will gladly betray her companions if I just let her in on my plans.

44. I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.

45. I will make sure I have a clear understanding of who is responsible for what in my organization. For example, if my general screws up I will not draw my weapon, point it at him, say "And here is the price for failure," then suddenly turn and kill some random underling.

46. If an advisor says to me "My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?", I will reply "This," and kill the advisor.

47. If I learn that a callow youth has begun a quest to destroy me, I will slay him while he is still a callow youth instead of waiting for him to mature.

48. I will treat any beast which I control through magic or technology with respect and kindness. Thus if the control is ever broken, it will not immediately come after me for revenge.

49. If I learn the whereabouts of the one artifact which can destroy me, I will not send all my troops out to seize it. Instead I will send them out to seize something else and quietly put a Want-Ad in the local paper.

50. My main computers will have their own special operating system that will be completely incompatible with standard IBM and Macintosh powerbooks.

51. If one of my dungeon guards begins expressing concern over the conditions in the beautiful princess' cell, I will immediately transfer him to a less people-oriented position.

52. I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.

53. If the beautiful princess that I capture says "I'll never marry you! Never, do you hear me, NEVER!!!", I will say "Oh well" and kill her.

54. I will not strike a bargain with a demonic being then attempt to double-cross it simply because I feel like being contrary.

55. The deformed mutants and odd-ball psychotics will have their place in my Legions of Terror. However before I send them out on important covert missions that require tact and subtlety, I will first see if there is anyone else equally qualified who would attract less attention.

56. My Legions of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice.

57. Before employing any captured artifacts or machinery, I will carefully read the owner's manual.

58. If it becomes necessary to escape, I will never stop to pose dramatically and toss off a one-liner.

59. I will never build a sentient computer smarter than I am.

60. My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used. Note: this also applies to passwords.

61. If my advisors ask "Why are you risking everything on such a mad scheme?", I will not proceed until I have a response that satisfies them.

62. I will design fortress hallways with no alcoves or protruding structural supports which intruders could use for cover in a firefight.

63. Bulk trash will be disposed of in incinerators, not compactors. And they will be kept hot, with none of that nonsense about flames going through accessible tunnels at predictable intervals.

64. I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be a disadvantage.

65. If I must have computer systems with publicly available terminals, the maps they display of my complex will have a room clearly marked as the Main Control Room. That room will be the Execution Chamber. The actual main control room will be marked as Sewage Overflow Containment.

66. My security keypad will actually be a fingerprint scanner. Anyone who watches someone press a sequence of buttons or dusts the pad for fingerprints then subsequently tries to enter by repeating that sequence will trigger the alarm system.

67. No matter how many shorts we have in the system, my guards will be instructed to treat every surveillance camera malfunction as a full-scale emergency.

68. I will spare someone who saved my life sometime in the past. This is only reasonable as it encourages others to do so. However, the offer is good one time only. If they want me to spare them again, they'd better save my life again.

69. All midwives will be banned from the realm. All babies will be delivered at state-approved hospitals. Orphans will be placed in foster-homes, not abandoned in the woods to be raised by creatures of the wild.

70. When my guards split up to search for intruders, they will always travel in groups of at least two. They will be trained so that if one of them disappears mysteriously while on patrol, the other will immediately initiate an alert and call for backup, instead of quizzically peering around a corner.

71. If I decide to test a lieutenant's loyalty and see if he/she should be made a trusted lieutenant, I will have a crack squad of marksmen standing by in case the answer is no.

72. If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device and begin to taunt me, I will pull out a conventional weapon instead of using my unstoppable superweapon on them.

73. I will not agree to let the heroes go free if they win a rigged contest, even though my advisors assure me it is impossible for them to win.

74. When I create a multimedia presentation of my plan designed so that my five-year-old advisor can easily understand the details, I will not label the disk "Project Overlord" and leave it lying on top of my desk.

75. I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.

76. If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)

77. If I have a fit of temporary insanity and decide to give the hero the chance to reject a job as my trusted lieutenant, I will retain enough sanity to wait until my current trusted lieutenant is out of earshot before making the offer.

78. I will not tell my Legions of Terror "And he must be taken alive!" The command will be "And try to take him alive if it is reasonably practical."

79. If my doomsday device happens to come with a reverse switch, as soon as it has been employed it will be melted down and made into limited-edition commemorative coins.

80. If my weakest troops fail to eliminate a hero, I will send out my best troops instead of wasting time with progressively stronger ones as he gets closer and closer to my fortress.

81. If I am fighting with the hero atop a moving platform, have disarmed him, and am about to finish him off and he glances behind me and drops flat, I too will drop flat instead of quizzically turning around to find out what he saw.

82. I will not shoot at any of my enemies if they are standing in front of the crucial support beam to a heavy, dangerous, unbalanced structure.

83. If I'm eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.

84. I will not have captives of one sex guarded by members of the opposite sex.

85. I will not use any plan in which the final step is horribly complicated, e.g. "Align the 12 Stones of Power on the sacred altar then activate the medallion at the moment of total eclipse." Instead it will be more along the lines of "Push the button."

86. I will make sure that my doomsday device is up to code and properly grounded.

87. My vats of hazardous chemicals will be covered when not in use. Also, I will not construct walkways above them.

88. If a group of henchmen fail miserably at a task, I will not berate them for incompetence then send the same group out to try the task again.

89. After I capture the hero's superweapon, I will not immediately disband my legions and relax my guard because I believe whoever holds the weapon is unstoppable. After all, the hero held the weapon and I took it from him.

90. I will not design my Main Control Room so that every workstation is facing away from the door.

91. I will not ignore the messenger that stumbles in exhausted and obviously agitated until my personal grooming or current entertainment is finished. It might actually be important.

92. If I ever talk to the hero on the phone, I will not taunt him. Instead I will say this his dogged perseverance has given me new insight on the futility of my evil ways and that if he leaves me alone for a few months of quiet contemplation I will likely return to the path of righteousness. (Heroes are incredibly gullible in this regard.)

93. If I decide to hold a double execution of the hero and an underling who failed or betrayed me, I will see to it that the hero is scheduled to go first.

94. When arresting prisoners, my guards will not allow them to stop and grab a useless trinket of purely sentimental value.

95. My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.

96. My door mechanisms will be designed so that blasting the control panel on the outside seals the door and blasting the control panel on the inside opens the door, not vice versa.

97. My dungeon cells will not be furnished with objects that contain reflective surfaces or anything that can be unravelled.

98. If an attractive young couple enters my realm, I will carefully monitor their activities. If I find they are happy and affectionate, I will ignore them. However if circumstance have forced them together against their will and they spend all their time bickering and criticizing each other except during the intermittent occasions when they are saving each others' lives at which point there are hints of sexual tension, I will immediately order their execution.

99. Any data file of crucial importance will be padded to 1.45Mb in size.

100. Finally, to keep my subjects permanently locked in a mindless trance, I will provide each of them with free unlimited Internet access.

Random

2009-10-13T01:31:00.002+08:00

Yesterday something uber random happened. While in the car, my dad suddenly asked me, "You still keep in contact with ***?" and then I was like "We aren't talking anymore." and he was like "Why?" and I was like "We just don't."

I think it made me realise that sometimes friendships never last no matter how strong they were before hmm. Oh well.

Graduation Day

2009-10-12T19:24:00.009+08:00

Today was graduation day. It is what officially marks our last day as Sec 4s. There was a lot of photo taking, and thanks to give, and autographs to sign. All in all it was a rather meaningful time spent in school, and the last time we will really really come together as 4L1 until quite some time later I think. Personally, I had fun being part of 4L1. more so than any other class I've been part of previously. In the past 2 years, I've made some new friends, and also strengthened my friendship with a few others. You guys have been really great classmates and people to spend time with. All the best for Os everyone. Hope everyone will manage to get into the school or course they want next year yah :)

Lots of chit-chatting. ^^

Games

2009-10-12T00:13:00.004+08:00

Recently I downloaded a few PSP games for my post-Os enertainment. They are Dissidia: Final Fantasy, Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny, Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary edition, DJ Max Portable, and Fifa Street 2. Was especially glad to get SC: Broken Destiny as I have always liked the whole SC series of games although i never got to try SCI and SCIII. Nothing much to post about today, so I guess I'll just post a bit about my favourite characters from both Soul Calibur and Final Fantasy. :)

Final Fantasy: Sephiroth

FF7 being the first of the final fantasy games I was introduced to and had the most exposure to as well, naturally my favourite character from the whole FF series would be from FF7 and it's Sephiroth. My first encounter with FF7 was actually when I watched Advent Children on a friend's laptop. The CG graphics were good and I liked the way Sephiroth fought. Like really, when you put him beside whiny Kadaj and gang, and Cloud, he is way way cooler. And Sephiroth does evil well, and evil is gooooooooood. XP

Sephiroth in FF7: Crisis Core was unfortunately a non-playable character (The only playable one was Zack). In the first part of the game he was the person I was supposed to work with for some SOLDIER stuff but in the end stuff happened and I ended up having to fight him a lot. And he is tought as hell to kill. Don't wanna give spoilers but for those who have a PSP and have not played Crisis Core, it's a pretty fun game albeit a bit draggy at times.

Sephiroth in Dissidia: I spent 500PP unlocking him as a playable character. If you know how to use him he is really really good. But me being a Dissidia noob, he becomes rather handicapped when I use him -_- Sephiroth is the FF7 baddie chosen for Dissidia (1 baddie 1 hero from FF - FFX, Cloud represents hero for FF7) and to be honest it's not a surprising choice. There is no other really major kick ass bad guy in FF7. What else can one expect, he is afterall SOLDIER's best ever.

Soul Calibur: Kilik

I first started playing Soul Calibur when I was P5. That was at my mother's friend's house with my mother's friend's son. It was SCII, and I got thrashed really badly. Never played XBox in my life back then. After that I soon discovered that the XBox at Harvey Norman Millenia Walk had SCII for people to try. So I went to play, and I got good playing at that XBox almost every Sunday for idk how long (my church is nearby so I went there often). By the time I bought my XBox at end P5, I was already a seasoned SC2 player. But still I bought the game and went home to play it for hours and hours. The one thing I didn't like about the game was that a lot of the text were in Japanese so I didn't understand a word. Still, until today I have clocked 100plus hours playing that game lol.

Kilik in Soul Calibur II: The first thing that made me like using Kilik was that he is an absolutely good and easy character to use. Using a combination of ranged and close-up attacks allowed me to handle the opponent rather easily. The range is expected, considering that his weapon is a staff (Kali-yuga). His kicks do quite a lot of damage as well. One very funny thing about Kilik in SCII was that his ultimate weapon that can be unlocked in Weapon Master Mode is Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel, which looked somewhat like an extended version of the Kali-yuga (It was seriously effing long). His joke weapon was a bamboo pole lol.

Kilik in Soul Calibur IV: The only reason I never tried SCIII was that it does not run on either the XBox or the XBox 360. SCIV was a game I bought sometime last year. I was like so OMFG happy to see it on the shelves before the supposed release date that I bought it instantly although it cost a bomb. SCIV gameplay is somewhat different from SCII and the AI isn't stupid anymore. Kilik had changes made to his movelist and it was fun discovering the new moves and trying to find out how to execute some of the old ones on the new 360 controller. He is still a very good character to use, especially now that his move list differs from Seong-Mina completely (Seong-Mina was a bonus unlockable character in SC2). But there is no more golden cudgel and bamboo pole for this lol.

Before I end off,

Happy 18th Birthday to Minghan. :)

Birth Chart

2009-10-06T00:32:00.003+08:00

Birth Chart from http://www.0800-horoscope.com/
I chop of some of it coz it was too long and complicated. To be honest I don't know how to read this so I cannot tell if it is accurate really. -_-

Birth Chart

This birth chart shows the positions of the planets of Sophia Lur

The planets in the signs

The position of the planets in the signs of the Zodiac has an influence on the character of the individual and these influences form a large part of the individual psyche.

Sun in Scorpio

Physical energy and courage. Strong passions. Regeneration and improvement. Strong sexual powers.

Weaknesses: She is suspicious, defiant, extremist: she has a vindictive nature. Can turn violent.

Moon in Cancer

She is likeable and sociable. Very sensitive to environmental conditions and surroundings. She likes home, habits, comfort and her little world. Large families.

Weaknesses: subject to family circle, indolence, inertia. She is impressionable and too sensitive. Family problems.

Mercury in Scorpio

Plays on words, argues, criticizes, jokes, is ironical, mocks. She is crafty and always finds a solution to a problem.

Weaknesses: mocks, derides, disputes, constantly picks a quarrel. A really awkward customer.

Venus in Libra

Happiness is found in marriage, living with another. She is devoted, tender, affectionate, gentle. Love is a matter of charm, rapture, delicacy. She cannot hide her love, but needs legal recognition. She wants all the marriage rites.

Weaknesses: she likes to be worshipped, enjoys flattery and likes to be surrounded by her inner circle. This causes a few problems after marriage.

Mars in Scorpio

Aggressiveness can lead to a fight against society, the family, injustice in general and can sometimes be very violent. She can be the leader of an organization or a union, but the aggressiveness can be directed towards self-destruction if it does not have an outlet. The latter is by no means certain, as it is difficult to contain without snapping.

Weaknesses: passion, rage, fanaticism, quarrels.

Jupiter in Libra

A high liver with a sweet, attractive and sunny disposition. Likes justice, which she trusts. She knows how to forgive completely.

Weaknesses: she can have problems, because she gets involved in doubtful situations through trusting too much.

Weaknesses: bad luck, adversity, problems and disappointed hopes.

LOTR Pics

I updated with more pics. No time to type long descriptions today. Maybe I'll edit again later.

It's lame but still, I enjoyed reading it lol.

Parody of what happens after Aragorn returns after falling off the cliff.

Was browsing a LOTR fan website recently and found this image. I think it's super cute lol. I'm no Legolas fangirl or anything but just find the whole scenario of Legolas fighting with the twins over a soft toy very cute. Not to mention it's chibi. And Elrohir's face is seriously awwwww. A little background: Elrohir and Elladan are the sons of Elrond. They are twins and also brothers of Arwen.

This one, is not at all cute. But it is amusing. In the original Denethor was supposed to be holding a goblet filled with wine. The editing is done very well for this I think. He looks like he was originally holding the Starbucks cup. Background: Denethor is the steward of Gondor and father of Boromir and Faramir.

It's been a long time since I delved into LOTR stuff. Should start again after Os lol.

God-Shaped Hole

2009-09-27T21:49:00.002+08:00

God-Shaped Hole - Plumb

Every point of view has another angle
And every angle has its merit
But it all comes down to faith
Thats the way I see it

You can say that love is not divine and
You can say that life is not eternal
"All we have is now"
But I don't believe it

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And the restless soul is searching
There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And it's a void only he can fill

Does the world seem gray with empty longing
Wearing every shade of cynical
And do you ever feel that
There is something missing?

That's my point of view...

*I am aware the song title shown in the mixpod playlist is not God-Shaped Hole. idk why.
