2008-06-23T15:44:35Z

HHC-style posting:

-Training course starts officially today
-GIVE ME BACK MY AS LIFE!!!
-Not being able to slack anymore in camp is really weird
-I DON'T WANT TO DO GUARD DUTY!!! But everyone has to =(

Oh well, at least something else has happened which has made me super duper happy for some reason.

478: and then it hits you so fucking hard

2008-06-22T14:25:56Z

You wonder so long.

Then after a seemingly innocuous comment.

Everything clicks.

It smacks you like a baseball bat in the face.

Oh and btw, Incredible Tales (on channel 5) is becoming less of a documentary and more of a B-grade horror movie.

At least Pushing Daisies is next :D :D :D

477: H, i'm being a ZY :D

Shim Schedule:
June 11th - Report to OETI EWTW
June 20th - Report to OETI EWTW

:D:D:D
8 completely NS-free days.

Anyway, MGS 4 COMING OUT AT 9.45am LATER!!!
Don't know why I'm so excited, I've never even played the first 3

Also, currently Portugal 1 Czech 1 $#$@#^!$ Portugal for letting Czech score

Also I went to Orchard Isetan today, supermarket on first floor. Saw a medium-sized box, cross section slightly smaller than A4 paper, of grapes from Japan, priced at $109.00. %#$!@#!%

There was a small bunch of grapes sliced half for sampling, not sure if it was the $109, but they tasted DIVINE. It was as if I was eating the Hi-Chew grape candy. HOLY SHEET.

Another sampling was of a $69.00 honey dew from Japan. It literally melted in my mouth. Seriously. Those fruits justify their bleedin' expensive price tags.

It's neurotic, it's whimsical, it's ruminating. The main heroine is called Chuck. And most importantly. There's pie.

Pie is always important. The main hero's pie bakery is called "The Pie Hole".

It's also chock full of, no, not calories, but dark humor. Which is ALWAYS as delicious as pie. And one-liners so quotable that they will be quoted til death do us part.

PUSHING DAISIES
"Their stories combine mystery, magic, dark humor, giddy romanticism, animals, technicolor landscapes, musical numbers, and, of course, pies."

It's SO mouth-watering. The people who are killed in the pilot episode are strangled by a plastic bag that has a big yellow smiley face plastered on it. :D :D :D :D

"I suppose dying is as good as any reason to start living."

Hm. I'm starting to drool again. More pie please.

Confucius says:
Baby in mother's womb, is inhuman.
Feeling of anal sex, is fucking shit.

Original lines, these 2. Speak like Yoda, I fucking am.

Anyway I went to buy the Tokyo Love album that's being advertised on TV, admittedly only because of (re)hearing one track that caught my heart many years ago.

Time goes by - Every Little Thing

MGS 4 is still so far away. Boo.

470: If Hell was this hot I'd gladly burn in it

2008-05-23T16:25:13Z

She doesn't look like she's from Earth...

I'm a sucker for girls with plat-blonde hair =/

11 MOST SCORCHING HOT FEMALE COSPLAYERS EVER.
Well, according to the site, that is. The 2nd one is.. indeed hot.. you might say CURRY SPICY HOT. -snort- K I shld stop being racissy.

Oh, and I'm hopelessly in love. But that's irrelevant when there's hot female cosplayers to drool over?
Please look at me with those big beautiful eyes one more time.
I'd die and not know whether it's blissful Heaven or hot sinful Hell.

The last action that decided EVERYTHING.

And the events that led up to this climatic moment:

Superb interchange between Brown and Scholes at the right touch line, before Brown produced the telling cross onto Ronaldo's head. With this, Ronaldo has scored against every single English team in BPL.
1-0 to Manchester United.

Rooney delivers a fimba 40 yard ball from the half way line to Ronaldo, who crosses to Tevez's head. Cech blocks it, and blocks Carrick's follow up shot. No pictures =(

Rooney shoots a low stinger across the box to Tevez, who misses it in front of goal. D= D=

Farking tyco bastard. TWO, not one, TWO deflections from a lame Essien shot into his path. Lamps could do no wrong.
1-1 right at the death of half-time.

Drogba has stayed invisible throughout the whole match until he decided to snap shoot, sending it crashing against VDS' left hand post.

Then Lampard strikes against the bar. Now we're even, bitch.
...Not really.

The Drog gets sent off for slapping Vidic's face. Stupidity at best? The 2nd player to get sent off in a CL Final.

This one is blurry to me. Giggs gets on the end of a Ronaldo cross I think, but he opts to slice instead of slot, resulting in Captain Courageous clearing it off the Chelski line.

Onwards to Penalty Shootout.

Ron is the 3rd Manchester United player stepping up to take his shot...

AND HE MISSES, JUST LIKE cjqsg SAID HE WOULD. ZOMFG. LOOKS LIKE CHELSEA ARE GOING TO WIN IT.

JT steps up to take the last kick. If it goes in, Chelsea are the champions.
...But he falls down on his ass as the ball hits the post and goes out.
:D :D :D

And the moment THIS happened, me, yzq and yongzi went crazy.

467: WeAreAlmostThereThereThereThereWeAre

2008-05-11T15:17:19Z

1-0 up at JJB stadium.

Will we be champions?

EDIT:

WE ARE. OH FUCKING YES WE ARE CHAMPIONS. 2-0. AND CHELSEA DIDN'T WIN.

AND WE WILL BE CHAMPIONS AGAIN ON MAY 21ST.

466: hearken! to naysayer's dearth

2008-05-10T16:17:50Z

I bought a 500GB external hard drive today.
Only problem is my com's USB ports are not USB 2.0, so the data transfer rate is FARKING slow.

At least I get to finally download the Everything Slayers torrent, which is 30gb large. Every single episode of The Slayers.
Classic.

I found the spawn point for grenades, and handgun.

After dying once, I stayed at the hospital and blew it up and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.
After dying twice, I stayed at the hospital and blew it up and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.
After dying thrice, I stayed at the hospital and blew it up and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.

I ran out of grenades.

After dying four, I stayed at the hospital and shot everyone and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.
After dying five, I stayed at the hospital and shot everyone and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.
After dying six, I stayed at the hospital and shot everyone and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.
After dying seven, I stayed at the hospital and shot everyone and played with the police when they arrived and gunned me down.

Then I turned off my ps3 and died to coughing bouts.

465: kiss me the criminal insane baby

2008-05-09T12:31:51Z

went to watch soccer with dear Hang yesterday night. FARKING BORING.

I still haven't gotten any guns.

in GTA IV.
only played ps3 this week. llike now, just now. today.

"For a dumb yokel, you're a pretty funny guy."
"For an annoying dick, you're an annoying dick!"

I managed to get MAX star criminal rating by crashing through a blockade. Eventually died, after stealing a police car and smashing into a SWAT van. Was only a one way high way, my way.

PAY DAY TMR! Or rather, later at 11pm.

Having accumulated a total of 3600 McDonald's Rewards points, Happy ~~Meal~~ Blym decided to exchange them for 36 hamburgers, to be consumed in one sitting. Thus we undertook an exciting journey on Mt Mac Hamburger.

THIRTY-SIX.
If only words can describe the o_O expression on the manager/cashier/unimportant woman's face when she looked at the receipt.

I ate 8. I'm gonna grow fat.

Pictures are in Blym's camera. On hindsight I should have used my phone to take pictures as well, but that is why it's called hindsight.

Iron Man turned out to be less awesome then I thought it would be, unlike say, I Am Legend. I'm glad I didn't pay money to watch it.

...I like the fact that there's so much wordplay in this post >_>

WTF man. U.

LOSE 1-2 to Chelsea.

Even worse, Home United lost to Balestier Khalsa, THE LAST FUCKING TEAM IN THE S-LEAGUE TABLE.

BAD MOOD DOUBLE INCREASE UP!!!!

459: The World Ends With You

2008-04-26T02:57:06Z

My life is sloughing away while I wait for June 24th, when my Small Arms Training Course actually starts. I'm still living the life of an OOT, except that now I'm called an AS (Auxillary Staff) and working, not on Tekong, but in OETI Ayer Rajar Camp.

Which incidentally has been described as PARADISE ON EARTH.
:D :D :D

With calculations:
24 months of NS.
3+ months have been/will be wasted away doing practically nothing. Oh and getting paid for doing nothing also.

ISN'T THAT FUN?

But not really. My NS allowance is not enough to cover my expenses!!! Gaming fiscal year has started and the games are flying in hard and fast, draining my wallet faster than it is being filled.

I weep.

The World Ends With You (DS)
Persona 3: FES (PS2)
GTA 4 (PS3) But still unsure whether to buy or not.

IRON MAN 30th APRIL. Definitive must watch watch.

CHELSEA VS MANCHESTER UNITED. TONIGHT.

Tonight, the Reds will go marching ON ON ON.

Yep. I posted just to keep my blog from dying.

EDIT: I decided to post a video too! omg. random.
and BoA is damn cool-looking 1/4 ways into the video, with her white hat and suit :D :D :D

SWEET IMPACT - BoA

458: Happy (National) Nineteen Birthday to me T_T

2008-04-14T06:37:49Z

19 years old. The age which male-ish Singaporeans, if they took the traditional JC route, will have to serve, with Loyalty to Country; Leadership; Discipline; Professionalism; Fighting Spirit; Ethics; CARE FOR SOLDIERS, in the National Service.

Date: April 13

TJX treated me to a Japanese Pasta and Pizza eatery at City Hall City Link, where I consumed, not Pasta, not Pizza, but RICE. Ho ho what irony.

Went over to Blym's house to partake in 4 player orgy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl. And Wii Sports.

Arsenal dominantly thrashed Manchester United and lost 1-2. For which I am very very happy and this happiness will be doubled, nay tripled, NAY QUADRAPULED, if Chelsea slips on the WIgan banana skin tonight.

All in all, one of the better and more memorable birthdays I had. Unlike, say last year, wherein nothing happened, except that I received my Project Work result >_>

I took leave today, which is why I can actually post this now and sip on my non-existent champagne and chortle, "Merry Ho Ho!"; "Hearty Har Har!". I have no idea what I'm saying.

My aunt has also bequeathed(in terms of handing down, not passing through will, she is still very well alive thank you very much) to me an HDTV, which is alas CRT in nature but supports resolutions of 720p/1080i. Again I have no idea, but this time am confuzzled by the paradoxical nature of a widescreen resolution residing in a Box, not slim LCD TV.

I can only tell that the sides of pictures/videos on screen are cut off a little, but not sure how it affects game-wise. I played Portal (from the delicious crate of citrus-goodness, Orange Box) but could not recall how it looked like in 576i resolution, meaning I could not tell if the sides were cropped or something. Anybody able to tell me of any effects?

Simply put, I can now play my PS3 in mine room instead of having to lug my lardy ass out to the living room; on an HDTV nonetheless!; and in 720p resolution but not really understanding how that works on a 4:3 TV Screen; and obtaining a wired connection to the modem/router instead of relying on dodgy wireless connection that is somewhat not responsive/ fucked up.

It's given birth to a humongous mess of wires thou =/
