Special Delivery

This epic soundtrack is composed by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori (As usual.). This 2 CD set contains 17 tracks for a total of 114:59 minutes of epic win.

And because the titles aren't really spoilers, I'll post the anyway. Bolded for awesomeness and to indicate my favorite tracks.

CD1:

01. Overture (5:39)

02. The Rookie (7:30)

03. More Than His Share (5:49)

04. Deference for Darkness (6:39)

05. The Menagerie (6:10)

06. Asphalt and Ablution (6:03)

07. Traffic Jam (5:52)

08. Neon Night (5:37)

09. The Office of Naval Intelligence (8:50)

CD2:

01. Bits and Pieces (7:05)

02. Skyline (7:02)

03. No Stone Unturned (3:23)

04. One Way Ride (6:51)

05. The Light at the End (7:52)

06. Data Hive (6:04)

07. Special Delivery (10:23)

08. Finale (8:12)

Overture has bits and pieces of the Prepare To Drop theme in it, while The Rookie is pretty much the beginning cinematic of the Campaign with a bit of the ambient music of Mombassa Streets.

Deference for Darkness has part of Rain in it while also having the music from Campaign. In my opinion, Special Delivery is best after the 4 minute mark. Mainly because it's Traffic Jam without the guitars and the music from the ending cutscene, which BTW, really fits the mood.

Overall, it doesn't really sound like Halo, although it occasionally sneaks in some of the trademark chanting monks. I also like the inclusion of the saxophones and the guitars. Even though it doesn't exactly have the familiar "Halo" feel, it's still awesome.

P.S. If you haven't heard already, I've added 6 songs from the ODST soundtrack. If you're gonna listen to them all, be prepared to lose about 30 minutes of your life.

Deference For Darkness

It's funny... I've always had this feeling, where I knew I never really fit in where I stand now. It's just a random feeling and thought that pops up at times that tells me, "You don't belong here." or even, "You're not needed here. Why are you even still here?".

It makes me wonder how differently everything would have turned out if I had transfered to DJ at the beginning of Form 2, like I originally planned. More epic lulz with the DJ gang, I suppose.

Either way, I've always been a lone wolf and I probably always will be... Or am I a lion now?

If you haven't guessed already, why yes, I do have a Twitter account. And yes, I've had it for awhile now. Sue me.

I've got a little voice in my head telling me something, and I don't like what it's telling me.

I refuse to listen to it, but as the pieces fall into place, the voice is starting to sound right...

Freaking paranoia!

GREAT GOOGLY MOOGLY!

Sweet lord. Halo is getting it's own series of anime films. I'm not going to say much, cause my brain is already overloaded.

Press Release:
http://news.prnewswire.com/DisplayReleaseContent.aspx?ACCT=104&STORY=/www/story/07-23-2009/0005065011&EDATE=

First pictures:
WTF is up with the helmet?

Awesome.

The faces all around me, they don't smile, they just crack,
Waiting for our ship to come but our ship's not coming back,
We do have time like pennies in a jar,
What are we saving for? What are we saving for?

There's a smell of stale feeling that's drinking from our skins,
The drinking never stops because the drinks absolve our sins,
We sit and throw our roots into floor,
What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?

So give me something to believe,
Cause I am living just to breathe,
And I need something more, to keep on breathing for,
So give me something to believe.

Something's always coming, you can hear it in the ground,
It swells into the air with the rising, rising sound,
And never comes but shakes the boards and rattles all the doors,
What are we waiting for? What are we waiting for?

So give me something to believe,
Cause I am living just to breathe,
And I need something more, to keep on breathing for,
So give me something to believe.

I am hiding from some beast but the beast was always here,
Watching without eyes because the beast is just my fear,
That I just am nothing, now it's just what I've become,
What am I waiting for? It's already done.

So give me something to believe,
Cause I am living just to breathe,
And I need something more, to keep on breathing for,
So give me something to believe.

And I need something more, to keep on breathing for,
So give me something to believe.

The Open Road

You know, if there's one thing I'm most afraid about, it's the future. Strangely, it's not SPM, it's what could happen AFTER SPM. Yea, I know, it's strange that I'm not that afraid of SPM but instead what could happen after it.

I don't know. Time can change a lot of things. I guess I can say that I'll miss the times we're having right now. What triggered these thoughts, you wonder? Well, in school, the Organization was fooling around at the back when Victor complained about his ass hurting because of what one of the others did.

It was that moment that I thought: This is it. We're in Form 5, and this is our last year. After all this, we have no idea where we'll all end up. One thing I'm most afraid of, is as more time passes, the more everyone drifts apart. And by everyone, I mean Koizumi, Ms. Awesome, Sook Yan, Raja, Victor and even that idiot Kelvin. Okay, not so much Kelvin. More so for the rest.

Thinking of the past year and a half has made me realize that I've never really appreciated all the friends I've made and the times we've had. When we're through with this, the world will be an open road for us all and it could lead us anywhere. I hope to be able to keep in touch with you guys regularly when this is through, and even better, like Sook Yan said, we better have reunions every year. LOL.

One thing is for sure, I'll miss you guys. I've said this once to Ms. Awesome, and I'll say this again to you all this time. Okay fine, it's not the exact same phrase, but it still holds the original meaning.

Though time may find me new friends and memories, they will never replace you all, and the memories and fun we've already had.

Here's to the future and whatever it holds for us!

I Hate My Day Job

Once again, my sister has somehow messed up the home computer. Yes, I know today isn't Friday, but I'm currently trying to fix the computer's problem, so I'm using this opportunity to post this. For the past few months, my sister has been installing a buttload of stuff into the computer. The latest?

A rogue spyware called "Advanced Virus Remover". It annoys the user until they purchase it, and so, it's pretty much a scam, so stay the hell away from it. It took me an hour to get rid of it, but it left some side effects on my computer. Now, I can't access Facebook or even Youtube.

Scanning the PC, I have found 29 threats in my computer so far, and a majority of them are trojan horses. Lesson of the week? Stop downloading and installing useless crap.

In other news, Ms. Awesome has been shortlisted as one of the top 6 bloggers for the LURVE affair contest.

Ms. Awesome, I wish you luck for your screen test next week. Time to head off.

VERY POINTLESS UPDATE (2135 hours): Fixed the bloody problem. Now I have to reinstall some stuff. Again.

This Isn't Over

Giant. -Blam!-ing. Robots.

Giant -Blam!-ing robots beating the snot out of each other.

Who knew mechanical extra terrestrial violence could be so... awesome? Yessss... I have watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and it was pretty awesome. Some pretty interesting parts, although my favourite was at the end where Optimus kicked some serious ass.

Lesson learnt, Jet Optimus = Pwnage.

One thing I found kinda sad, was that Sideways the FREAKING AUDI R8 got chopped in half around 10 minutes plus into the film. So much for a sweet car.

Also, much like the end of the first film, the second ends with yet again, a scene of Optimus Prime looking towards the sky, delivering yet another speech. Yes, New Divide does play during this scene, just like What I've Done in the first.

I don't know, there's something about these ending scenes from both movies that just seem as fitting ends to the movies.

It isn't over for sure. That's all I'm saying about the end of the final battle. But, can anyone say, Transformers 3? Booyah!

Paving the Way

Today was the dreaded Open Day for us Tropicana-ians (Does that sound right? Or would you rather be known collectively as Tropperz? Wait... that sounds like them Mini Popper ice creams). Went to school at the usual time and found the King and Victor waiting for me.

Anyway, we (The Three Stooges, "Fantastic" Four if you add Kelvin, Idiot Duo if you add me and the King, and the Organization if you add Koizumi.) chatted about nothing in particular for a loooooong time. Well, until Victor's brother came.

Then he left, leaving me and the King to stay until it was around 9 when my father and the King's sister arrived. Of course, Miss Awesome came around 7.30 and left pretty quickly as well. Which reminds me that she smuggled some stuff when she left. Yeah...

Anyway, let's just say I was facepalming a lot today. Complete with internal monologuing too! As for why, when the time comes, maybe I'll explain. Right now, we've got nothing to worry about. Yes, we. As in plural. That's all I'm saying.

Yare Yare.

The Other Hero

Even after all this time, I still seem to have a liking for Kingdom Hearts. Yea, that's right, the Disney/Square Enix franchise. Laugh it up. It was one of the most interesting and strangely fun game series I had ever played. Mind you, the first time I heard of it, back in primary school, IIRC, I wasn't interested in it. Much like how my brother got me to be a Halo fan, one day, he bought a copy of Kingdom Hearts and since he didn't have the time to play it, asked me to try it out to see if it worked.

And here I am now, a 17 year old who still likes a game that has Disney characters and worlds in it. Although my brother didn't even play it. In fact, for Halo and Kingdom Hearts, he introduced me to them, but he ended up never playing them again. Yeah... Funny how that works.

Anyway, the Japanese version of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (Pronounced Kingdom Hearts Three Five Eight Days Over Two) was released pretty recently, and rather surprising to the Americans, the localisation process was shortened and the English version is to be released this year.

Until then, fans have this English E3 2009 trailer to satisfy their fanboy/fangirl-ism.



Awesome. Although I have to say I cringed a little when Xion (Pronounced as Shion) and Axel (that red hair dude) spoke. I dunno. Axel sounds a bit weird in this trailer. Quinton Flynn did a fine job in Kingdom Hearts 2, so I'm sure he'll do another fine job in this game as well.

Also, it seems like Jesse McCartney is reprising his role as the hero of this story, Roxas. Personally, I thought he did a pretty good job as Roxas in Kingdom Hearts 2. Even if Roxas was only playable for a few hours in Kingdom Hearts 2, he became a pretty popular character.

Here's to hoping that Jesse McCartney will play Ven in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Although I have to wonder, now that Wayne Allwine has unfortunately passed away, who will voice King Mickey in Birth by Sleep and the other Kingdom Hearts games? D:

I have a pretty good feeling Alex will be the next voice of Mickey Mouse. Once they hear him use Mickey's signature "Oh boy!" line, I'm sure Disney will hire him!

Aside from the inside joke between the guys in Jayadiri, I really wonder who'll take the mantle now? I apologize if that inside joke offended anyone somehow.

It seems a little darker on the other side,
I need a spotlight, for some peace of mind,

A brand new reflection, another direction,
To take my life, to the other side,

She can melt the sun, she can freeze the moon,
If she only wanted to, if she needed to,

Her world is inviting, it's so paralyzing,
She could give me life, yeah,

I wanna see you on the other side!
I wanna see you on the other side!

I wanna see you on the other side!
I wanna see you on the other side!

I lost myself inside your great divine, a sticky situation, I don't seem to mind,
A mental uprising, is so compromising, and I find myself, slipping back in time,

I'm trapped within your world, where all the colors swirl,
In this universe, where you are my girl!

Am I just dreaming, cause everything seems just like paradise!

I wanna see you on the other side!
I wanna see you on the other side!

I wanna see you on the other side! (Your presence surrounds me, and keeps me from drowning inside the black!)
I wanna see you on the other side! (Your daylight releases, your brightness just keeps me from coming back!)

You scared that I'll forget you? It isn't true,
Maybe you'll delete me, when you're through,

-----------------------------------
Why exactly did I post this? Think what of it as you will.

The bottom line is, I am bored.

There's Something About....

Them Pianos. Seriously. I don't know why, but I really like the sound of a piano version of certain song. Case in point, the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack.

So I went ahead and uploaded some songs from the new Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections. The four songs in the playlist to the right are what I think are some of the best songs in the collection. I have to say I really like all four of them. These are only 4 out of 12 tracks though, and if you want to go ahead and listen to them, head on to Youtube and search for Kingdom Hearts Piano Collections and you should be able to listen to all 12 tracks.

Now that's over with, Imma go find something to occupy my time with since two of my favorite people that I like to talk to are currently busy with whatever it is they are doing. You know who you are.

Till next time.

Welcome to the Capital Wasteland

While running around the Capital Wasteland, I stumbled upon a Super Mutant camp. After dispatching the entire camp, I wandered around to look for a crash site, and got this magnificent view. Sure, you can't see the Washington Memorial, but it's still quite a sight to behold. Oh, and don't ask me about the rock textures. Its already running on pretty high settings.

Goodbye, Money!

I want to cry right now. As I said, E3 is now here. And you know what makes things worse? Bungie was obviously at E3. And they shed some light on not one but TWO Halo games. Say Halo to Halo 3: ODST and the new announced (but sort-of-leaked) Halo Reach.

There's a buttload of info on ODST now, and I'm too lazy to say anything. Hint: www.bungie.net. The trailer is cool though. They actually show gameplay in it, and it definitely is Halo, albeit from the eyes of a regular human instead of a Spartan. God damn it looks interesting. And it's coming out September 22nd. Fantastic!

Halo Reach will presumably cover the Fall of Reach that was also the main focus of the Halo: Fall of Reach novel by Eric Nylund. From what the trailer hints, there are Spartans. I'd love to see how that'll work. Considering the fact that there has only been one Spartan mentioned in the Halo trilogy, and only 3 Spartans in Halo Wars, yes, I'd love to see them kick ass.

Oh, and there's a new Metal Gear game. Wut. Oh, and Left For Dead 2.

Anyway, I'm going to go back and drool at the trailer again. Till next time.

Once More, With Feeling

Epic. At least it's not coming out this year.

Awww Snap!

Life seems to have a habit of making my life tougher. For example, the past few months. I won't say what happened, because some of you obviously already know. However, I need to make a point clear.

I AM ALIVE! AND I AM OKAY!

Seriously. For the first time in months, I feel normal again. I seem to no longer be plagued by melancholy. For now at least. After all, I'm sure life has plans to eternally -Bleep Bloop!- things up for me.

So, I've been gaming a lot recently. Mostly Need For Speed: Undercover and Fallout 3. I finished Undercover yesterday. The story was okay, and I thought the cars were -Bleep Bloop!- ing sweet. Fallout 3, however, is a HUGE game, and I've barely covered the main storyline, and I'm almost reaching the level cap of 20. However, I've already downloaded Broken Steel, the expansion to the story, which also increases the level, so I'll have something awesome to do for a while.

Did I mention that you can blow limbs and heads off? -Bleep Bloop!- ing awesome.

In other news, E3 is coming. Damn. "What is E3?" you ask. E3 stands for the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Basically, it's when game developers and I think even hardware developers gather in a place to showcase their stuff.

Which also ruins my life because of all the games that look awesome. In fact, by some insane twist of fate, Halo 3 came out the week before PMR, and Halo 3: ODST is coming out in this SPM year. See how that's gonna ruin my life? Man, sometimes it sucks to be a gamer.

And the reason why I made this post? See below.


I practically drooled when I saw it. Damn you E3. Damn you fate.

And now to return to Fallout 3 again. Wake me, when you need me.

There's Something About....

.... Them Cars. Yes, I like cars. I mean, cars are freaking cool. Heck, I have two dream cars. They are the BMW M3 2004 E46 model and very recently, the Audi R8. Below, I shall post pictures from Need For Speed: Undercover. Because they look so awesome modified.

The Awesome Beemer. The M3 GTR from Most Wanted and Carbon sounds cooler though. Sounds tougher.

The Awesome Audi. Sexy, no?

On to another topic, there's only one person who can ruin my otherwise happy mood. And that person is, the crazy woman. I won't go into details about who she is, except that she seriously pisses me off sometimes.

Today, on the way back from dinner with the "in-laws", we were at a traffic light outside 1U, considering that fact that I live within walking distance to 1U. Then, she starts talking about stuff. In fact, the longest time she would ever stay silent, is 7 seconds. So, every 7 seconds, she'd yap on about something.

But we're going off topic. One thing I've noticed, is that people pronounce Jusco as Jus-Co. Jus as in JUStice, and Co as in... co.. But the crazy woman on the other hand, just loves to pronounce it as Juice-Co. Needless to say, my right eye kept twitching everytime she said Jusco. And my dad was pronouncing it correctly (IMO). It was one of the dumbest conversations I've ever heard in my life. Gawd, she pisses me off.

And at Shell, near my house, a car took off pretty fast and made a really loud screeching sound, thanks to its obviously rubber tires. Now, the crazy woman has the tendency to laugh at the most inappropriate moments. Which kinda reminds me of the Demon. Eww.... A female Demon.

Yuck.... Anyway, as it zoomed off, we were still in the car as my dad checked the tires. She suddenly LOL'd and asked "What was that?" and giggled to herself. I mean it. She seriously laughed out so loud, me and my sister were actually shocked.

Anyway, I can't fully express how much I despise her, so I better change to another topic. I downloaded the Kingdom Hearts Piano Collection. Pretty nice. Maybe I'll upload them to the music player one day. Anyway, I'm gonna go back to my games. Till next time.

God. Damn. It!

In the span of one month, I've discovered my weakness.

Okay, fine. Make that 5 weaknesses.

Why me?

Melancholy

Here I am, on the brink of melancholy yet again. And I've been brooding. I think I've come to a decision. I've decided that I'll do it.
//DREAD. FEAR. DOUBT.
I think I'll do it soon. But my mind is not at rest, for questions linger on.
//WILL I FOLLOW IT THROUGH TO THE END? OR WILL MY RESOLVE BE WEAKENED?
All I can do now is wait. But the wait alone is slowly killing me.
//TO MY FRIENDS. SHOULD I LOSE MY SANITY, I HAVE BUT ONE REQUEST.
I don't know if I can wait any longer.... And yet, it all began, 3 years ago.
//ERASE ME.

A Big Swirly Destructive Thingy

As if the title and my status didn't hint enough, I feel like there's a maelstrom raging on inside of me. I think only two of you would know why. And I suddenly fear the future.

The more I think about it, the more tempted I am. The more tempted I am, the more my inner pessimist reminds me of all the ways everything could go wrong. And that alone, makes me think even more. It is a vicious cycle. One I fear I cannot escape.

I feel lost. And most of all....

I feel sick...

LOLWUT

I was running around in ROSE Online, completing quests and training when I saw a name. I'll let you see it for yourselves.



Click for zoom! LOLWUT?

P.S. I know I look like a terrorist, but the stats are good. I wish the defense system was like Fable II. D: Also, guess who is berry? No, it's not a girl.

Rebuild

I read something epic recently. I'll let you read it for yourself below.

King Denies Little Boy's Wish to Be Named 'Sonic X'

This reads like a fairy tale, but it's all true. A 6-year-old Norwegian boy wanted to change his name to "Sonic X," and in his land, such things must be approved by the king.
Wise King Harald of Norway politely declined the request of young Christer on the grounds that, being only six, he was too young to make such a decision. So Christer must wait until he's 18 to reapply.
The kid wrote the letter and asked his folks to mail it, and mum and dad were all >_> and <_< about it it, until he piped up one day and asked if it had been sent. Reluctantly, they dropped it in the mail, figuring the king wouldn't bother with it. Happily for all, he did. Gamezine reports that Sega contacted the news site that reported this (Dagbladget, which in addition to sounding like a Yosemite Sam swear word, gave us some Mafia II footage last week.) Sonic's people are said to be preparing a care package of swag to soothe any disappointment.

Seriously, I LOLed.

Anyway, not so recently (more like a couple of weeks), I watched the first Rebuild of Evangelion movie. But what is Evangelion? Go wiki it. But for you lazy people, it's basically a mecha anime. The Rebuild of Evangelion series is actually a remake of the original series, Neon Genesis Evangelion. No, I did not watch the original series, but it caught my eye and so I downloaded the movie. It was pretty entertaining and some parts made me for a lack of a better term, wide-eyed and made me think, "WTF?".

Here, is the trailer for RoE:2.00 You Can (Not) Advance and because I'm lazy right now, the post will end after the video. Yeah, till next time.

Rebirth

So, me and Alex decided to accelerate our plans. Basically, we're replaying ROSE Online. Four years ago, we played the international edition of ROSE Online. We quit after awhile because it became Pay-2-Play. Now, a local company has brought it here and we are now playing MYRose. It's been pretty fun and nostalgic these days, having gone through the maps four years ago and revisiting them now. However, there's one thing that's kinda annoying about the game.

For the purpose of showing the issue, I'll have to introduce my main character.



This is Sparrow. He's a Hawker. Basically, he beats (stabs?) things to death with two pointy things. Four years ago, my main character was named, wait for it.... Johnathan. Don't ask me why I chose such a weird name. Even I don't remember why. Anyway, he was a Soldier. Basically, he used to beat things to death with a large pointy thing. Yeah.

While I wanted to recreate a Soldier, I decided to try out the Hawker class after Alex told me that it was significantly better than last time. I never got to try the other classes in the International version, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Anyway, on to the real matter. Item drop wise, it was a good day. However, most of the items I got today were, wait for it......

Islamic Shoes. Seriously. WTF? How many you ask, lookie here!




See the gay looking pink shoes? Those are "Islamic Shoes". They suck ass. The stats are horrible. And they kept dropping no matter where I went. In fact, there are a lot of "Islamic" items which is kinda retarded. Especially since they keep dropping. If only they were more higher leveled gear, then I wouldn't be complaining right now.

Now that I've gotten that out, I'm gonna go find something else to do. Till next time.

Blast From The Past

I admit, the last post made me look like a raving lunatic. I apologize if you were creeped out. Anyway, today was pretty uneventful, unless you count what happened during the last period of school. Yeah. I guess that was pretty much the only real defining moment of the day.

No, I won't go into details. I'm sure you guys already know what happened. Although I have to say that Nathaniel and I were staring at each other when I burst through the door and hung on to the door frame while Ivan was laughing his ass off. No, not the gay kind of staring, he actually just looked bored and had a 'meh'-ish expression like he didn't care. Of course, after a few akward seconds, I let go of the door frame and walked back in.

I can't possibly imagine what it looked like from his or you guys perspective.... Maybe you guys should go ahead and humour me?

Anyway, I went digging through my friendster comments. What I found were comments dating back 3 years, back when I first entered 2A. One comment that cracked me up is this comment by Alex.


Maybe its the 2nd paragraph, but it makes me laugh. The 1st paragraph is also pretty true, no matter which tuition we go to. Whenever he's not around, the class is pretty quiet. Speaking of which, for the past five years, we've been sitting in the same row and the same two seats during BM. Year by year, the number of the "gang" would increase and this year, we've taken over the two back rows.

Let's just say, the two back rows contribute the most noise in the class as well as smartass comments. Which of course leads to Mr. Goey (our teacher, if you didn't realize it by now) asking us to, basically, "STFU or GTFO. >:(". Kekeke.... Oh? I'm giggling like a school girl? Sorry. It's just that thinking of him saying that makes me want to LMAO.

Anyway, I'm gonna go do something else. Till next time.

Random Rambling # 3 / Character Profile # 1

II ht ef sa ht le m a y it ne y yas g et in u mb y s lgni be ed f t e oreh id y vse. w o no t ar ys is n s f a o c n, g f i m ht i s ov er h e of ht . no gu oe y a s. t s h e o r. m e a o g oi i r c n n g?

So, it's official. 17. That number represents a lot of things. Lets start off with Super Best Friends.

Out of all the SBFs I've had in 17 years (Five. "It" doesn't count since I never actually thought of it as a BF), I have to admit that Alex had the biggest impact on me. Let's see.... We met at the age of 7 in *drumroll* SK Taman Megah. Honestly, I don't remember if we became SBF in 1999 or 2000, but for the sake of coolness, I'll say 1999. However, since we're on the subject of my early years, I might as well talk about my first year.

In my first year, I spent the majority if my time with.... girls. Yeah. There goes one of my first secrets. In particular, 3 girls. As to who they are, that's Classified Information (I think you can expect to hear that a lot from now on). I was particularly close to one of them. I'll call her E (I think some people might be able to figure out who she is. If you do, good for you.). No, not the romantic kind of close. At least, I think it wasn't considering that I was only 7. I don't really have any special memories of 1999, though.

In my second year, I hanged out with the guys full time. One of my fondest memories would have to be seeing Alex being chased by the 3 girls around the school. I also recall that Alex and E used to kick each other in the legs. Hehe. As for what year that was, I can't remember. That doesn't really matter though. We were kids, we had plenty of energy and of course, we most probably still believed in cooties.

In the third year, I can recall that E was a prefect-in-training. Once again, my memory fails me. In the fourth year, we ended up in the same class again. In fact, the entire time we were in primary school, we were always in the same class year after year. I was almost always a few places behind him in the class ranking, so I guess that's how we managed to get in to the same class for 6 years. Now that's epic.

Like I was saying, in the fourth year, same class. Unfortunantly for us, we somehow did badly enough that we both ended up in the 3rd class. I think on the first day, we both agreed that we would get into the 2nd class together the next year as one of our friends (Zhen Quan was his name, IIRC) got into 2nd class. He was in the 3rd class the previous year. That obviously happened. I think the fourth year was the year I sat next to *drumroll* Benjamin Devasir (yes, him.) and Gerald (I forgot to get his email or something). I think Wei Liam and Ian Fan were also in the same class as me and Alex for the next two years.

I remember in the fourth year, boredom caused me and Alex to make "comics". We did them in little notebooks in our free time. It was fun, and it continued till the last year. In the last year, we wanted to stop because of the discipline teacher, but in the end, we didn't. I remember that the first 3 people who read my "comics" were Ben, Gerald and of course Alex. Good times. Alex made his own too. I now realise his handwriting hasn't changed one bit.

The fourth was pretty interesting. I started going to tuition classes with Alex. We went for Science at ZQ's house too, although that might have been the sixth year. I remember making a comment about our Maths textbook and I called it the "Big Fat Maths Book of Everything". When went to his house for tuition, ZQ actually made a Powerpoint advertising the "Big Fat Maths Book of Everything". Hilarious stuff.

In the fifth year, we entered the 2nd class again, but ZQ went down to third and sadly stayed there till the last year. Most of the year is a huge blur and I can't remember much. IIRC, this was the year that we started calling some girls lesbians. Why, you ask? That's because I remember one of the girls kneeled in front of another and saying "I love you.". That was while me and my friends were in front of them. One of the girls, I recall knowing since before the fourth year. One of my scariest memories is when my mother used to send her home. I recall it so clearly, it's creepy. For ease, I'll call her L.

We stopped to have lunch at McD's. As I got out of the car, L got out and just hugged me and basically lifted me off my feet. Yes, I was shorter then a girl my age. After lunch, my mother had bought some Hello Kitty toys for my sisters. L had one and she was so happy, she once again hugged me and lifted me up again... in the middle of the street. Yeah. Years later, I'd eventually find out a shocking truth. I'll get to that later.

Anyway, the lesbian thing continued to the last year. I also recall during Music lessons and when we had to sing, we would scream the lyrics at them. It was... funny considering most of the guys in class did that. In the final year, everything was coming to an end. Even with UPSR in the corner and the uncertainty of wheter or not anyone would see each other the next year, I had a great year.

I remember a new kid entered the school that year. Joshua. He was new, but in a day, he was part of the family already. The guys would play football in the "desert" as we called it, and the girls would do whatever it is they did. I can't recall alot of the sixth year though. I'll skip to after UPSR. We were anxious and we were basically trembling with excitement. Then the ceremony began. Slowly, one by one, the classes started to go in front and stayed there. In the end, I only remembered 4 of us still sitting down. We were the ones who got 4A's. It wasn't bad. I didn't feel upset. Me, Alex, Montri (Mr. Sexy Legs. He wore shorts in standard 6. Having long legs, he got the name Sexy Legs. He accepted the name.) and Sabrini Tan (I remember Ian Fan being somewhat jealous of me. Why? Because me and Sabrini had to share a piece of paper that had two UPSR forms.). All in all, I had a good primary education. Lot's of fun and memories.

Then came the first year of secondary school. I was supposed to have go to SMKDJ, but I got sent to SMKKJ (the King's school). On the day of orientation, I met a classmate of mine who would eventually end up in DJ, i think. I tried to get into DJ, but they were full. So, I turned to the second alternative. Tropicana. I'll tell you that Mr. Loke (Yes, him.) helped me get in. WTF, you say. How did that happen? Well, my mother taught his daughter and his two sons. Heh. They are, Loke Jia Wen (My mother keeps a picture of me and her as kids), Loke Jia Jun (You should know who this is) and their little brother. Anyway, I ended up in 1B because our history teacher (Forgot her name D:) who also used to teach in Taman Megah, told us that 1A was full and that I would be sent there when they had the space. That never happened.

The first day, I was reacquinted with Nicholas Kurt and Rhys Lee. That was the day I also met Brendon and obviously, Jun Wai-sama. Anyway, this is about Alex, so on to the story. Alex was kinda dismayed that I didn't end up in DJ and asked me to transfer. I did have those intentions. Still, we went for BM tuition together again till now. We also went to the same Maths classes till this day. I recall during AC, Ben came to 1A and asked me if I was going to make comics that year. I said No, and he asked me why. I don't really remember what happened after that.

The second year, I had originally planned to leave. I was put with in 2A with Vicky and "it". That year, I met Kelvin and everyone else. I planned to leave in our third year and of course, that didn't happen. In the fourth year, Alex told me if it was okay if I didn't want to transfer. And so, I've ended up in Tropicana for five years. A part of me wonders what would have happened had I left. I still wonder.

Now for something not related to school. I remember Brendon introducing me to ROSE Online. I told Alex about it, and we played it together. I stopped after awhile, but eventually, we'd play Maple Story. That was in Aquila. His highest leveled character was 43 and my highest in Aquila was 29. LOL. We stopped that eventually too. Then we went to CABAL. And that too we stopped. Right now, we're planning to play a game again. Most probably after SPM. We'll see.

Also, once during our BM tuition, we were talking about primary school. All of a sudden, Alex says, "Oh yeah, L likes you. She told me herself." Needless to say, I was surprised and kinda shocked. In the end, I did nothing about it and Alex started teasing me about other girls. I remember one particular comment he made. It was kinda perverted. Sorry, Classified Information.

Ah, all the memories. That's not even everything I remember. To think that only a decade ago, I became SBFs with him. 33 years from now we can both say to our kids or friends or whoever, "We've been SBF for 40 years.". As if 10 years wasn't long enough, I can't possibly imagine the next 33. If I were to write about this again in 33 years, I bet I could make a book.

Anyway, better stop here before it gets even longer. Till next time.

Dedicated to Alex, my SBF! Thanks for 10 years of fun!

Random Rambling # 2

So, I've finally gotten off my lazy ass and decided to post this. Yes, it is a Wednesday. Yes, I am using my brother's laptop. But that doesn't matter. What's imporatant was that while I was lazing around, I remembered some things that I'd rather not divulge.... or want to remember. It's seems pretty ironic. People forget what they want to remember, but in my case, my brain randomly fires off a memory from a long time ago. Most of them are.... questionable.

These memories also triggers my (probably) overactive mind and I start to wonder: What would have happened if I didn't do what I did? Would everything that has happened and that will happen in my life have been different if I made a different choice? Of course, I always think about very.... peculiar topics such as what happens to an individual's identity once their bodies pass on, or if life itself was a mistake caused by evolution or that there is something that made everything so complex.

Anyway, I was thinking of something when a memory resurfaced. I won't say when or who the person who asked me this was. A girl asked me a yes/no question. The question was something I never would have expected at the time. When I didn't answer, which I presume was like a No to her, she told me she was joking, although a small part of me didn't believe that. Like I said, remembering the question made me wonder what would have happened if I had said Yes? Would everything now have changed?

Such is the mystery of life. However, there is theory states that for every choice made, a new timeline or universe is made to fit the choice. If that were true, think of the billions of timelines created just by one choice. Multiply by several millions of choices and multiply that by billions of people. So basically, you could say I believe that theory. It would be nice however, to be able to peer into another timeline to see what would have happened if an event never happened or a different choice was made. I sure as hell wish I could do that.

After all, I know I've made plenty of choices and I regret some of them. For looking back over my 17 years of life, I can't help but feel like a betrayer. What I regret, only I will know.

Congratulations to Jun Wai-sama for deciphering the whole thing (Though I have no idea if you got it in the correct order). There, I changed it. Now the everyone will know that you deciphered the message in 20 minutes, you Stalker.

BTW, I made the whole thing up so I could use the word "Mask of the Betrayer". Talk about boredom. But what is it? Wiki it. For you lazy people, it's the first expansion pack of Neverwinter Nights 2. And yes, I am downloading it. Only 1 GB to go!

P.S. I don't know if I'm the only one, but the whole post seems to be pretty depressing in tone. I assure you though, I am not depressed or emo. In fact, I'm pretty excited that Jun Wai has revealed the identity of his wife to me and the King!

Happy 26th of April!
