1. FFVII: Crisis Core US release March 25 !

I saw a dark grey Ferrari when I was going home from camp. That Ferrari was turning at the swimming pool junction into the street toward City Harvest Church. I only caught a glimpse of its backside and the eye-catching horse crest.
Tagged with a price of approx S$1mil, its more than a car. It's a statement of status. But too bad Ferrari don't import my dream model locally, the F50. It's so finely made, that if you take a closer look at its surface, you can see the carbon-fibre beneath the paint meant to reduce the car weight.

Food for thought.
Which is the biggest currency in the world?
I reckoned it was the British pound, but now i believe it's the kuwaiti dinar.
1 USD = 0.27448 Kuwaiti Dinar
1 USD = 0.50450 British Pound

I can't really find the answer to my question online, though i acknowledge that the pound is widely-known for being the greatest currency. But statistically, the Kuwaiti Dinar may be biggest as it is buoyed by its oil producing industry and related development.

Simple love. That's what makes Hana Yori Dango 2 great! Wah but my beauty Erika Toda turned out to be a bitch. Nevermind, the world-famous F4 can make me continue dreaming about being enormously rich. The ending was massive and totally blew me away.
Must thnk CK for giving me such a touching drama. BanZAI!!!
Only pity is the OST doesn't include some music that made my heart fire up.
And umm, i still can't quite accept Domyouji's curly wriggly hair ! hahaaha

The flavor of life

ENGLISH:

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness.
The flavor of life

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
because of being unable to just move one more step forward
what’s causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn’t
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations.
it sparks no interest in me
even when things do not go the way you want
it doesnt mean you’ve thrown your life away

When asked ‘ whats wrong?’
I answer ‘its nothing’
The smile that disappears after goodbye
It’s unlike me

The more i wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
‘i like you a lot’ instead of ‘i love you’ sounds more like you
the flavor of life

the period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
i want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to spend it with you

when you say thank you to me,
for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt
get undone even after the good bye.
a hint of bitterness
The flavor of life

I picked up my lazy bones and went half way across the country to get a new pair of shoes at Queensway Shopping Centre. I bought a Mizuno Aero. Its design and colour was candy to my eyes. Light blue and light weight. All I need to get me back to jump training.
For SEA games. I jump.

Takuya's new Gatsby commercial just appeared in Singapore! And I saw it moments ago.
I just got back from camp after 2 days stay in. I'm all ready to watch Hero at 8pm, after the channel 8 7pm drama show.

Hero is about Takuya being a eccentric prosecutor who has his own unique ways and ideas to solve crimes brought to his desk. His personal life is also hilarious. Once he saw a body workout set selling in TV SHOPPING channel. He called and bought one.
A few days later he saw another newer set and selling 3 for price of 1. His response was, "What?!!? Why didn't they sell these earlier?"
After afew more days he went to a bar and while he was sipping his egg sake, he looked up and saw on TV, "...now selling 10 for price of 1 !!"
Takuya ---> "RUuu soo !!!" i.e "No Way!"

Caution, I recently got hit by a strong spyware called IE defender. It keep popping up to say my computer is infected and direct me to a bogus website that advertise for that IE Def anti-spyware. The best program to remove spywares and adwares nowadays is HiJackthis. It scans down to the deep registry and list down programs that are running passively. I just need to google the net for the registry infected with the spyware and use it to force delete.

Why don't try Norton Antivirus or other famous AV software? You may ask. But the issue here is that the current spyware are too evasive and even if your AV can detect and remove it, it will resurface.

So get Trend Micro Hijackthis when you face the same dilemna. Cheers for a better gaming experience !

I learned of this website feature from chun kiat. visit radioblogclub.com for more information.
The homepage has some problems interferring with my flash scripts so it errors and there'll be a window threatening to close down the IE tab on radioblogclub.com. so watch out.

Those FF songs inside my playlist is yeah, the golden songs that i'll die listening to.

I actually wanted to put in the piano collection version of To Zanarkand, but the search results don't differentiate them well. I got this game opening version instead, which puts me to sleep because it plays the same chorus about 6 times or so, i counted. Hmmm I may try learning this version as another another option in playing the song because this one is more manageable to play than the piano collection one(which i am still trying to master the difficult part)

Speaking of piano, damn the Cristofori email guy. No response from them! I wanna take up lessons in Jurong!

ZZZ-ing time!

I've been thinking about a few things.
I reckon it's time for me to take up piano lessons at the Frontier CC. It's been a pity why my parents never let me take up piano, and swimming when i was younger. My mum always say, " Next time you all older then go learn yourself".

It's so unfair to me. Everyone else has got a niche in them. I don't. Some can play piano. Some can swim. Some are excellent in sports. Others are able to study well. Many are great in computer stuff.
Me? I'm always trying to show my presence when i'm around people and likes to be interested in lots of things but actually i am just okay in them.
Say I'm good in computers/ IT? No! I'm just scrapping the basics of getting a comp to run the way it is supposed to be.
Sports eh? Yeah yeah all of you readers out there know im from track and field team. But where the hell are my achievements? 6th in Swift Track and Field Meet? Wow. That's because there were only 6 of us jumpers that day. That's why ! And I always run the slowest in the team. Even Tracy the javelin thrower can outrun me when we were doing endurance training at Macritchie Reservoir 10km route.

Or is it because I always put others first. That's why I'm last?
Maybe I like to let people go first, so that I can observe what they do and learn?

Mood: Frustrated ? =.=*
Someone is messing with my peaceful life.
Choking on my internet so much that it has compromised the torrent d/l.
And it was with altering my computer while i was away swimming at JE complex.
Putting in games and pulling them out of my psp like nobody ass' big deal.
He's charged my psp like twice from zero batt in a day!
Ate my unopened pack of crackers just because he's hungry. wadever.
And that's just him. My big bad brawwddy cousin Daniel.

Alright ! One item off my wish list !
At the warehouse and the shops, it didn't look that big. But the U1 sits in one corner of my living room, it looks so damn big! Maybe it's black and stands out plus my living room not really that much space...
Finally able to progress with my To Zanarkand Piano Collection version.
Gambatte ! dattebayo!~

YAY I've finished Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception on my PSP. This game really got on my nerves last time because I'm always unlucky to get shot down by enemy planes or SAM during the final mission. I took it out and brought it back into the PSP just now and completed it! I can unload it from my mem. stick and put in new games!
Im going to find new photos of Takuya and store them as my next PSP wallpaper.
Transfering in Naruto Ulti Ninja Heroes and Yugioh Tag force

Swimming during this morning was tough. My first lap was breath-taking, literally. I felt tired after the first round of breaststroke. Then went on to train up my freestyle.
Finian called if we wanted to catch a movie later. Of course! Im starved of shows.
Watched resident evil:extinction.
I hooked up my 3 computers at home within the wireless network and managed to share a drive from my dad's desktop and another drive from the main desktop. Wohoo. It's really convenient now. No need to plug thumbdrives around the house.
I'm going to do the network printer next time.

Saw many faces I know on my trip to JP for NTUC shopping.
John Ng, my JJC classmate was shopping in his no. 3 army uniform. Then I saw a not-so-close senior from JJ track at the cashier.
And ultimately, I brushed past Celine at the basement corridor. My heart beat thrice as fast after I met eye 2 eye with her.

I'm hungry ! ahhh! these few days in the morning i always feel a pang of hunger. Maybe cos went outfield and do alot of stuff, so get the crunch of energy fast. My partner in work is a super duper ultra fit guy. Trying for special ops a second time.
He runs as if there's no limit in time or distance. Far more advanced than high school x-country runners.

I know many more people in my line of work and discovered more details of them. It was fun knowing those army guys and how they bicker amongst themselves. ahahaha...add some hokkien here and there and "suan" people now and then is interesting for my ears !

So...plan for weekend is... swimming! on sat morning and running at sunday evening. That'll give me ultimate time for rest. Sayonara!

"You only live once. You should do something different" Quote SSG Jeffrey, the man who ran at 5am from sembawang to jurong camp. K-u-d-o-s

Jessica Alba and Jennifer Aniston have come out on top of a poll to find the world's most desired single females.

The list conducted by Yahoo saw the Fantastic Four actress beat Aniston to the top spot.

Other celebrities in the list included tennis star Maria Sharapova and singer-turned-actress Jessica Simpson.

The top five:
1. Jessica Alba
2. Jennifer Aniston
3. Queen Latifah
4. Jessica Simpson
5. Maria Sharapova

Woolala. I love 3 of them. 1,2 and 5. Who's no.3 ?

Allow me to tell you this. The fuc**iest thing you can do at my house, is to put my 5 year old cousin with both my grandparents. My cousin can probably die of crying and choke on his tears because my grandparents know balls about computer, internet, miniclip.com and Club Penguin game. And my grandma likes to irritate my cousin when so obvious the child isn't paying attention at all.

And one thing I learnt, never leave your child under the care of your sister or brother. Your siblings' family environment may not be the best place for your child to grow up. I'd say, my 5yo cousin's future life is half-ruined by just staying at Daniel's house.

In fact, i think my aunt herself can really nurture his son very well and may be even better than how my mum brought me up( she just chucked me and my 2 elder sisters to my grandma while she hangs outside and enjoy life when she was 30+ then).

Fuc* it man. If you're not going to do your best to take care of your own child, who's going to do that? Except perhaps your spouse.

And uh, my 5yo cousin surfs the internet. GeezZ ! I only started using the computer frequently when I was primary 6. Computers totally transform adolescents' life nowadays.

Who's your dream girl?
For me, she's someone who excites my heart when she's beside me. Her smile, to me, is worth dying for.
I found this rare MTV she featured in at Youtube.
Anata wa kirei desu ne!

this is one of those gatsby videos u didn't see on singapore tv.

Here is one reason why the US has the best military and technology.
There were F-14s, F-15s, F-16s, F-22s and now this is the new baby.
Check out the video I put up. God bless this technology!

I'm wondering if I should take some modules on aerospace engineering while doing my mech eng. Aviation rox~!

Im feverish about pianos and R/C planes(again). I've calculated. My bank will swell pass $10k by the time I finish my Army stint. I'll buy either of the 2 dream thingys.

Oh yeah the green bills are rocketing out of the roof!

I spent hell lot of money today!
The thing most worth spending was Jay's debut movie, Secret. I bought the DVD and the extra features are really collectible for a fan like me.

I ownzed Wee Pin and Junyi at Marina Sq's superbowl with scores of 131, 92 and 108.
Not really good play today. Just didn't get the feel like when i did my record 150.
There were 2 weight no. 9 balls on our rack. One of them was rounder at the finger holes and wasn't that easy to control the ball.

Then we went next door for pool. Damned. $9.60 for an hour. that's city hall robbery! But luckily I won streaks, i.e I played more games than any of them. Sry bros! :)

Ming tian going swimming with yun at clementi and later WCRC for pool. My wallet needs a break! A big break!

Just signed up for facebook.com. I realised ppl put nicer pics in there than friendster.

Oh Yes!! I am free from that hell, gone to a place nearer to home and will be doing more meaning work in future. Sry, can't talk about army in details. May kena charged~~ wont risk that.wont risk that.

I'm playing Jeanne D'arc on my psp. cool grid-sq game. storyline is good.
The first wild dragon stage is sick! Owns you if you don't plan well.

Today was quite a bad day for me. A strong pounding headache haunted my during and after I played soccer with my kakis in the morning. Must be that I played on with a runny nose( and scored several goals!)

We went JP, had kfc while waiting for Justin to come. This guy is my classmates' friend. They all seem to know him...

Then we split and met at the K Pool to kill time as the rest bought tickets for Rogue Assasin.

I bought MiLuBing. The album. If you haven't know, the lead singer of the band was in my BMT company. Nic was in liuyun's platoon. I didn't realise he was in my batch until rumors went flying around the soldiers. He looked really different with botak head. Lots of music talent in him as I observed in his performances during BMT. As a whole, MiLuBing is a promising music group with tons of friendliness and
We should support these young bands because this could be the beginning of a band era. Say, what's the last popular singaporean band u know?

omg, i just realised this song 百万宝 is the theme song of a channel 8 drama with the same name. wow. They are really something. Support local music!

I've just set up the photos link from shutterfly. Check it out. I don't have time now, really.
Need to go back camp in a while. More recently photos will come during this weekend.
All is well in camp. Looking forward to get posted out to a new camp, hopefully to my town camp.

Meanwhile I'm multitasking my laptop. Importing genuine Jay songs into iTunes. All albums of it. He's got his style and multi music talents, really.

~welcomes rebeck on my list~

It came quite a surprise to me that "someone" got an upright piano recently....
Hmph.
She beat me to it in getting an upright, just like I beat Finian to getting a PsP
When's my piano falling from the sky?

Later, practise piano piece- Melodies of Life.
I forgot most of it. But I'm picking it up fast again

morning hmm i'll chiong for a swim.
But should I swim at the complex near my house or at Clementi?
Cos im going to meet Finian and Yun at 2pm at the poolhouse by the highway
Haha...Yep. It's really by the highway~~ across the clementi swimming pool~~

Finian's going for 12km run. Part of the Army Half Marathon. he's getting sunburnt already before getting on the run. lol

Success: Thanks for your submission. It has been entered into the skin database and unleashed upon the world. Good luck.

LoLx, this was the message I got after I submitted my previous blog template to blogskins.com
;)

this week in camp has been full of anxiety. lots of backstabbing and hatred amongst the ooc ppl at the guardhouse. I'd tot being a trainee would be better. but can't pass the obstacle course no matter how hard i push myself. Let's see how the Wise one up there leads me along.

now my bunk got 4 beds; wee pin, junyi, eugene and me.

Eugene has nicknames Chucky and Mr Bean
Chucky because when he's angry and pissed with the guard duty plans he'll turn and scorn at you when u want to talk to him. Mr Bean this nick came a long way. His surname is Soh, then ppl start to call him Soya bean and eventually Mr. Bean. He got this ritual-like habit of applying pricky heat powder to his face and on the bed every night he sleeps.

Junyi's ethnic background is very similar to mine and I can safely call him my brother, younger than me though haha!
He's Hakka, born in Malaysia, same age and month as me.
Plus, his chinese surname is Lee(double mouth Lee)

wooooah...i browsed thru shaun's friendster photos..If you don't already know, he's one of those guys in class who u'd go to and find some humor jokes to get pass your mugging day.

After seeing those pics he took when he went out with my classmates after school, i feel i've missed a big part of the college fun. College 'supposed to be the most memorable part of your academic life but what i remembered is only the self-training in tracknfield after school. No wonder Im always abit separated from my class. Sometimes they discriminate me for being to hardworking and showy, but I know I can never stop at just competing with my school peers. There's a whole ocean out there against me, I just can't be contented with my lvl in school.

Goodbye JJC, it's time for me to find a new place with better memories to come.
Still, 3.28am and not yet dead.

wheeee...i feel so fortunate. thank god.

Of late, I bought a PSP from sim lim sq. My bunkmate WeePin went there with me on thurs and we managed to get one at an even cheaper price than his set...He was abit pissed with me or rather I should say, jealous. One, because my set was cheaper than his and I got the silver colour set which wasn't in production when he bought his many weeks ago. Now i'm "frantically" stuffing my psp with videos and games.

Shopping Cart for PSP

SONY PSP: 260
SCREEN FILM: 10
UMD:30
RUBBER COVER: 26
4GB MEM STICK: 96
7%GST~~ ;(
TOTAL=430/-

It's quite scary at one shop as the salesman's tactics were intimidating. Luckily I got "dependable friend" WP along to scourge for the cheapest deals.
Aye, im gonna eat, slp and shyt PSP all day for a while :)

Still got more stories to come tomorrow, i'll end my last word for now.
It's 2.49am ya know?

I think, I have a very clear idea what I want to do after Army.
I'll carry on with university, but meanwhile I'll devote my off-campus time to investments. Uh. Big thing eh?

Why a sudden interest in that?

It all started when I picked up Adam Khoo's Secrets of Self-made Millionaires book at Popular. It's a good read about how millionaires think and earn their truckloads of gold. It offers many suggestions to grow your wealth but I found the stock-picking investments most intriguing. Since that book, I've picked up several more stockmarket related books from the library( The Frontier) :)

There's this book, Rule #1, that gave me lots of confidence in buying stocks, reading the market trends and comes with lots of understandable calculations and online tools.

So I'm going to do paper-trading(writing down the price of stocks i bought, then track the progress on paper) for now, until I'm very sure I can use real money to invest on stocks and companies.

I guess, everyone needs a stepping stone for growing up and learning to work, ya? This will be mine.

I've been watching Engine during my weekends. This Takuya-starring drama is really cool. Last night I viewed an episode that made me cried so badly. Haizz

The children in orphanage(run by takuya's father) had to leave because there have been some social problems caused by those kids.( Some rich O~basans abused their power and forced the orphanage to shut)

Takuya was assigned to send each of those kids away to their new homes and after last batch, one young boy came chasing the crappy bus Takuya was driving... Then... all the sad emotions took off. My idol Takuya cried and I cried too~~

From Takuya in that scene,
"But you guys are just kids!"
"When someone as old as me cries, it's very not cool. But you're just kids!"
"So isn't it normal to cry when ya feel like crying?"


Hmmm...Although this Engine was not about love and romance like the previous Pride drama Takuya did, the story was teary at that episode I watched last night. I believe the songs played in the sad scenes were well selected...

On the game run:
I secured my first FFXII esper, Giga the Belias ! It the equivalent of Ifrit in previous FF.
It was shocking the other day in maple because that Shanghai quest gave me a Steely~~ I have always wanted one and thought maybe the most likely way was the Red Drakes dropping one. But whatever, it made my day !
Oh, im stopping maple awhile for good. Im starting to realise there is no end to this game. it's just blindly killing monsters all the way.
Im now playing CnC Tiberium wars and Heroes of Might n Magic V. I played the latter halfway and i think my studies needed more attention then haha...so nv play anymore

Life and tech:
Right now im into 4 weeks of sergeant training and echo coy rock big time. Real big, I say again. But wtf I gotta do a 1000 word essay about the army. i'll be fine.

For the Youtube fans, I've found a way to save the videos on site to your own computer as a normal MPG file. I've hunted down some super cool Pride fan videos and ya, im still trying to find where to buy the 2004 Japan's top tv drama. If you have the drama or heard wind of where to get it, kindly ring me !

wah sian...ytd i started maple 2x but then it lagged and now still lagged... i only managed to earn 60% exp and i dun think im playing maple anymore anytime soon. kinda waste of time... no ending to it and the community inside is childish and rude. Why do i have to face those unreasonable ppl? i'll stick to FFXII ( getting my first esper aka GF soon) and C&C first decade.

Hihi ppl ! Here's a quick summary on what I did in army. Main highlight was the race day selection. That day we were getting ready to do morning run. Then the bigshot commander asked who are the selected sprinters or whoever wanted to participate. A few stood up. Then I thought for a while and stood up and signed up as well ! About 21 of us did some running tests and a 300m time trial in a form of relay race with 2 teams head-to-head. The new encik* was in our shortnumbered team. My team's first man was the fastest in the trial, also previously the best 2.4km runner with a timing of 8min57s. He ran a staggering 44secs for the 300m.

I was like the 4th out of 11 runners in line for the race. On my 300m run, the guy who is with me on the other team started off first coz his partner came back earlier. But I chased him until I was just a neck behind him =) !!!!! I bettered his 50 secs with my 48.1 secs. Then back to the bunk my mates were saying I was very fast ! The whole company of 200 ppl were watching our 300m trial by the side grass patch back then. Inside my heart of course I'm elated, because I hardly get praised for my track and field stuff. But nonetheless I told them it's that other guy who is slow, tt's why relatively I seemed like lightning.

Essentially, there's a grenade outfield course that we went. I koked up quite badly but then not injured or kena detention punishment wadsoeva la. Had to pump 20 though haha. I was too headstrong, never wanting to admit my mistake lor...tt's why kena pump'ed. Overall, there was a 3-stage circuit we need to go through. That one I did really fine. muddy bloody. Really ! That was the dirtiest day we had in 3 weeks. Kk, I go train up my maple abit.

Anything, U are warmly welcomed to sms me as I can do good with some "message received" on my phone while I'm in army! Yeah.


*Encik= Big commander aka warrant officer.
Leopard company WOOOOSHH ~~ roCk on ~!

Hi everyone I'm back from2 weeks of army. It's really hell in there for me because i'm down with phlegm in my nose and caught a sore throat in the middle of this 2 week confinement period. It's really hectic in there. The kaopei commanders that i got didn't really helped much in fact. I'll try to focus on the days ahead and not them. Wah now I feel like shit. Lots of phlegm stuck in my nose. I can't breathe through my nose, my tongue can't taste anything. and my right hand feels abit of numb all the time. During the full gear march, my arm went so numb that the fingers are dead cold ! I had to keep squeezing my fist to keep it alive. It sucks really. Big timE ! I hope I will be in 1 good piece when i complete my 9 week BMT.
