Friendsters?

snowbell posted some really unreadable profiles on the forum.

I haven't been really trying hard at friendsters so I am on blitz to perhaps fill up my account while helping the 'princesses' to fill up and move on to their 5th or nth accounts.

I believe it's hard for a guy to hit a 100 especially with my photograph but what the heck I am always the midway n00b in anything.Either I am the standard mark of the Average,or the cross section between n00b and skilled.

Sidetrack:
I removed Doom III off my PC.It was great but neglected.I don't feel like playing games anymore.Ah.The wonders of having Free Time.No matter what you do, you never felt you got enough free time.

Why you need so much free time for???I am absolutely clueless.I felt I can devote myself to do anything.Craps.I am alive only for the sake of being at there and having absolutely nothing.

More bizarro pics...

For an upcoming (maybe will die at thinking stage) fanfic project tentatively named Gundam Seed Density (that's right it's d-e-n-s-i-t-y and not d-e-s-t-i-n-y), I created some characters (unnamed :bastard, you just swop heads!!!!).Here are what I had done in 2 days (Sat's Andy wedding;I went over;not much of a help I am anyway, as usual) from Friday to Sunday.

Andy's Wedding

Yesterday was my friend, Andy Chua's wedding.Being doing for 2nd time of the year,I roughly get the idea of going about it.This time is slightly different since I managed to hitch a ride from Tommy.

Yes Tommy.The Last Man.Reknown for superstar arrival time,he is late.This time round his line is : My watch slower.Yes I buy your story Tommy.Yes it's 0605 on your clock.Shouldn't I meet you at 0605????Haha.He is late no matter what.

And off we go.Andy was lucky.Due to our tardiness,the girls didn't to play around as
1)No time
2)They too soft-hearted. (Secondary School Friends almost of all of them....wow that's awfully long.I heard he woo her since '95.WoW.)
3)They scare neighbour complain?
4)We are civilised people!

Everything was going so smooth sailing unlike the other one.I think that's the difference between a carefully thought planning and one that got screwed bcos they panic?

Anyway we get away easy because of the tight schedule and somehow because we cannot click with the gals????

Wedding dinner, we had vegetarian.Vegetarian is good but bad when you had to eat a table of 10 when you got only 7.Thank god for the kid.Boys that are hyperactive and growing up always had good appetite.Anyway it's a nice dinner.Too bad my red packet is too small.I hope Andy don't mind.Well I guess I had to make up for it for the House Warming (if I got sufficient funds that is at that time).

Anyway eternal bliss to Mr. Andy Chua Tze Peng and his beloved wife, Miss Tay Li Theng.Hopefully Mr. Chua can fully utilised the government incentives and add more People to the population of Singapore in near future, haha.

Gundam Seed Wallpaper (1st wallpaper???)

I haven't been doing wallpaper since 1999 and this happens to be the 1st 1 in a long times.As usual,being the simple man,I didn't add too many gimmick details to distract from the main piece.


*Preview contains a few mistakes but the obvious major mistake is corrected.I think a virtue of mine is trying not to be too flawless.Or according to Bon Jovi : "I made mistakes.I'm just a Man."*

The wallpaper is HERE

Gundam Sick

This should be the last of them....

I called it 'Ahead of Sacrifice'.
This should the last of my head displacement series for Seed....until I get inspired again, I wouldn't be doing anymore sick heady PS-ed pictures...

Is there something wrong with me??

I kind of go off and let it be by starting to displace heads.....
here's the first of it all with Kira making the 1st splash with Lacus...
Entitled

"Ahead of Love"



the second

"Ahead of friendship"



the third

"Ahead of enemity"



Surpass and go beyond the confine of the flesh.

Ahead of Love is a bit out because I attempted to removed the background for the Lacus shot...but I realised my folly so I didn't do much for Ahead of Friendship.As for a Enemity
it's small because in my library of profile images,this is the best one but it's small so I shrunk Lacus down to fit in.I made a mistake but I didn't want to repair...did you spot it?

Blog skin for Max_Blue

Yumiko was being nice, asked me to help with another blog (I can't help her!!!I make blogskin but I know none of those fanciful stuffs!!!!!And she keep asking me to modify works that I cannot comprehend.Yes I am very dense when it comes to CSS.)

Anyway I create an original one for Max-Blue.Ironically I was flipping through my library of tokusetsu (he is a fan but a Power Ranger fan) scans when I saw this nifty shot of Kuuga from the SIC book.I took the liberty of PSing the image (who would want to just put a scan and that's it?)






.....and so it's a RED themed blog skin for MAX BLUE (hahaha).

I tried to use all the secondary colors of Kuuga (Green,Blue and Purple) for the fonts and all that.
Of course no one can see that bcos it's just a standard blog layout that doesn't impress.

LET'S GO HOME (Poem by Reinie May)



LET'S GO HOME

does it even matter that you've left
you've changed
and everything changes
look, at our past
no matter the obstacles
with you there
i got the courage to go through everything
you were always there
when i need you most
you were always there...

under the cold rain
we walked together
no matter where you go
i'll always be here
when people left you
i'll still be here
call my name
coz i'm here

lets go home
when tomorrow comes
when we could laugh again
where the sadness is gone

does it even matter when u left
you've changed
i never realised it
that time flew us by
and we grew apart
u were always there
u bear with me through
no matter how painful it was
it comforts me to knoe you are there
you were always there....

continue walking
under this cold rain
no matter wad you go through
i'll be there with you
when you are alone
i'll be there with you
call my name
coz i'm there

lets go home
when tomorrow comes
we could look up
where the darkness is gone

so....

lets go home
when tomorrow comes
when we could laugh again
where the sadness is gone

*END*

Comments:
I dunno how she got inspired.....but it sounds like something a housewife might wrote for her dejected husband (yes.I am goddamn condemn at Lit classes)...and for ur info...she's 15.....

We're Going to Ibiza


We're Going to Ibiza by VENGABOYS

I don't wanna be a bus driver
All my life
I'm gonna pack my bags and leave this town
Grab a flight
Fly away on Venga Airways
Fly me high
Ibiza sky

I look up at the sky
And I see the clouds
I looked down at the ground
And I see the rainbow down the drain
Fly away on Venga Airways
Fly me high
Ibiza sky

*chorus start*
Whoah! We're going to Ibiza
Whoah! Back to the island
Whoah! We're going to Ibiza
Whoah! We're gonna have a party
Whoah! In the Mediterranean Sea

*chorus ends*

Far away from this big town
And the rain
It's really very nice to be
Home again
Fly Away on Venga Airways
Fly me high
Ibiza sky

chorus x 8

Whoah! We're going to Ibiza

(According to the version I am listening)
My interest about going to Ibiza starts from here.
Yes, I had no idea how to get there but mark my words,
I am going to Ibiza eventually!

The Million Dollar Question....


XY asked: "Why you don't let me glomp you?"

Answer:
1)It looked Criminal for a 24 years old to hug a young gal of 14 that is not your daughter/relative/cousin.I could get arrested!!!!
2)If I let you, NY might want to.Hugging 11years old is even more Criminal!!!!
3)It's more fun to resist.
4)Because I can.
5)After all that walking and perspiring, I definately is very 'manly' smelling.Even you like, I wouldn't do it!!!

J-drama....

J-drama Review

Coincidentally I watched finished 2 J-drama with Fujiki Naohito in it.

One was Oni no sumika or Don't be a Cry Baby.
It's a tailored for Kyoko Fukada Cinderella drama so how it will be a like is actually very easy to figure out what it will be like. The story starts with Ayumi (Kyoko Fukada) having to deal with separation with her younger brother after their parents perished in an accident. Ayumi is the standard drama high school girl from the city, used to be pampered by her parents and willful in nature. Alas Ayumi had to face hardship as she was adopted by her aunt's family and forced to work in the Water Inn run by their family. The fun fact about Fukada's shows are that she often the Strong-willed girl with a sense for justice. Yet no matter what she did, somehow happiness tend to slip out of her hand just minutes before the show ended/started. This is that ONE show I believed that started it all. In fact the character she played here is very similar in thinking to Fighting Gal however she was more abused than abusive here). So what's the catch about this show?
Dramatic twist. Every episode Ayumi had to face a new problem/demon as she continues to struggle for a decent acceptance in the Water Inn or rather in the 'House of Devil' (The other Title it is commonly known to be). Ghosts of the Water Inn's past binds Ayumi to a descending fate. Will she escape from her impending doom?

Major support comes in form of the Devils....mainly from her adopted family,the Kurokawas....Mr kurokawa,owner of Aomori, husband of Ayumi's Aunt,Shoko. He is often verbally abusive to Ayumi and seemingly in rage every time he saw Ayumi. He slaps his wife, yell at her and threw Ayumi's brother out into the cold. Simply the typical Big Man of the Family. One reason why I continued watching after the 1st episode. Next in turn is Yuriko, the daughter. Typical villain girl who comes in between Ayumi and Yuzuru (played by Naohito) the son of a politician. Then there's a pervert of a son who wanted to get down and dirty with Ayumi or was it just perverted expression of love? The staffs of inn are no kinder to her except for Lee (played by HK idol Kelly Chen Huiling), an illegal worker from China. Yuzuru's father, a lecherous and twisted politician make up part of her misery too.

Wonderful soap but not really engaging. Most people would have given up at episode 6 or 7.Acting wasn't really fantastic althought the older folks managed to carry their role out quite well. Yuzuru is the worse character scripted, there for the sake of having a token 'Prince' character.

Fast forward to 2003,looking not really the same from Oni no sumika which was made in 1999, Fujiki Naohito, more haggard and weathered and seasoned here, plays a teacher in Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003.Considered more of a spin-off than a sequel, this is still about illicit love between teacher and student. Technically it is not, as Kuga (Fujiki Naohito) met Hina (Aya Ueto) even before he became a teacher and even slept with her (as in sleeping together). Hina is the average girl at the background (or so she proclaims) and she hang out with one of the 'Bad Hats' of the school, Beniko, a girl isolated by the rest simply because of her eccentric behaviour. Kuga however was prominent in the school, a young man with good looks in a female high school. However deep down, Kuga was a lonely figure that was driven to suffer by a tumor that was on his head. An unintentional misunderstanding by Hina gave Kuga an opportunity to exploit Hina as his mirror. A mirror which he sees to lessen his pain.It sounds all so perverted but some how once you watched it, it's more of a beautiful, tragic love story.

The drama is divided into two intertwined plots. One about Kuga and Hina. The other is about Fujimura (Kyomoto Masaki) and Beniko. Fujimura's story seems to be a continuation from the Kou Kou Kyoushi, he was a twisted teacher that raped his students before.Guilt caught up on him and he saw a chance to redeem himself when Beniko is caught up in a game which Yuji, a male host, is forcing young girls to voluntarily selling their body out of 'LOVE'.

It's a nice show and even when the nice soundtrack which was used in the original Kou Kou Kyoushi , is used in the updated version, it's still hauntingly engaging even when you know what will happen in the END. However there's a Special for '2003 and maybe I had not seen it all yet. Some of the ideas could be a bit sick but over the presentation itself was good.

I give 2 out 5 stars for Oni no sumika and 3.5 stars for Kou Kou Kyoushi 2003.

California Dreaming


ARTIST: The Mamas and the Papas
TITLE: California Dreaming

All the leaves are brown ~ All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray ~ And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk ~ I've been for a walk
On a winter's day ~ On a winter's day
I'd be safe and warm ~ I'd be safe and warm
If I was in L.A. ~ If I was in L.A.
California dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day

Stopped into a church
I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees ~ Got down on my knees
And I pretend to pray ~ I pretend to pray
You know the preacher likes the cold ~ Preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay ~ Knows I'm gonna stay
California dreaming ~ California dreaming
On such a winter's day

All the leaves are brown ~ All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray ~ And the sky is gray
I've been for a walk ~ I've been for a walk
On a winter's day ~ On a winter's day
If I didn't tell her ~ If I didn't tell her
I could leave today ~ I could leave today

*I first heard the song on Chungking Express.Tony Leung's police constable character was ditched by his Air stewardess girlfriend.Oddly the shock either took out his brains or he was forgetful by nature (Actually he was too absorbed over his break-up).An odd admirer/trespasser of Faye Wong's character,took his keys to his apartment.She swop his stuffs,change the decorations and clear the mess.California Dreaming was what he thought was his/his ex's favourite song that was left in the cd player by Faye Wong.I love this film.It's strange and nice at the same time.A comedy that doesn't really draw a barrel of laughs.

ok Cupid Test results

The Boy Next DoorRandom Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDm)
Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet.
We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what.

On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold.
More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.

ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph
CONSIDER: The Maid of Honor, The Peach

Galaxy Song (From Monty Python's The Meaning of Life)

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

Selling my precious-es.



I felt sick.

Posting a thread selling away my manga (those new and what people may buy) is like selling my children.
I felt sick.
Cannot imagine if I really sold them off.
I felt sick.


*P.S. I sold a few sets away on Jan'07 to make up for space.
