I changed my age from 24 to 25. I didn't realised that.
Also added Retsu's new blog link. Considered adding Inova's link but that's for some other day.

The Update when can Update and Update Post (90% Cosfest).
Not in any order. Just in recall order.
*d4 thinks hard*
10/07/05 Cosfest '05
Ah cosfest.
As usual the clueless man follows the leader.
Leader is last year's Vanillastar from Sganime ('cept she is vanilla now in Sgcafe.LoL, the identity crisis.)
She looks more cheerful than last year judging by her rainbow-color-skirt.
New friends met this year is Inova (online friend but never met), nuriko (seen her posts many many times), yuki (i setup her room thread)and drgreborn (know by avatar and nick only). Oh ya and Miss Boxian the afternoon Cinderalla (who somehow had a most similar pattern and situation as the ore-sama...who i cannot remember....*strucked*...moogle.Yah.She's moogle.Teacher to be if I am not wrong.)
*thinks hard*
anyone i missed out???
Renewing ties (as in seeing them again) are :
-shuuichi (who cosplay as Anbu from Naruto.Hmm getting prettier...why??)
-hajime (who is now more beautiful as to because of...ok...I drop the teasing)
-Shashaf + Ruki (siblings who live in Simei.Shashaf bz bcos of o's so hardly online now)
-Ref (He plus 2 more new friends...Cg-dude (Yes.That one) and Green Leaf.Jokers who lurk when they are suppose to meet up.)
-Retsu (who I am always SmSing)
-Tsukikage (The larger Mage around. Saw him with the tall cosplayer known as Nicky but I didn't say hi to nicky. I shy wat. Ppl taller than me you know??)
-Spiderkim (Impressive.I like this cosplay the most from yourside so far. Gambette!)
-Reinie May and Milu (In goth loli clothes.Ouch.Reinie.I am flabby so be so softer when you punch me!!!LoL)
-Tsukushi (Aren't you cosplaying?LoL.)
and here's a funny one....
Normally it's the people who say "Hi.Remember me??" to the cosplayers and the cosplayer was like..."hmmm.oh no..."
The joke was that we got a very cute Stellar cosplayer who runs forward to us and start talking to us (which is like...reverse of roles???)and I was very troubled because she was all that cute and I actually put my face as near as possible to try to see who she is (so cute!Damn where got I know such cute little gal one???). She didn't notice that I was looking at her because I didn't recognised her (truth is that I forgot to ask who she cosplay as!!I assume she was doing Naruto or Bleach!!!)
and she thought I was wondering about her eyes (purple contacts).
Ehh so I popped the duh-est question that might had actually hurt the fair little gal....
"who is this???" (damn d4.damn)
"can't you see I am Stellar???"(oh shit...I am so dead.)
"No,no, I am saying who are you?"(oh damn.oh damn. How can you be so insensitive??)
.....stunned silence.....
"Lenne lah!!! (angry and embaressed.)"
.....*ponked*.....
"oh Leanne ahhhh...(oh shit.I am so dead)"
"argh...Lenne lah!!!"
"oh haha....I am so sorry I thought you are doing Naruto (trying hard to cover up)"
added on
"Very good cosplay!I like your hair and I can hardly recognised you!You are Stellar!!!Haha."
Then she had to go because she had to look for group.
Damn. I gonna ask her for her photo to put up on this blog so it wouldn't occurs to me again (esp for her.)
And I really felt she did a great job because back at that moment the dufious duo of Retsu and me was transformed to Auel and Sting who couldn't recognised Stellar!!!Just like in the anime if Stellar returns without being brain-washed and met them (stop making excuses...no lah...d4 really think this way!!!)
People I saw and recognise but are too busy (or I find not to disturb them)
- Takahan. (Nice and simple cosplay. Sorry to hear that you are leaving)
- Garion. (Photographers are busy.)
- Shiro. (Photographers are busy people.Don't disturb them!)
- E2. (Busy booth.)
- Lacus/Inuran (Aiyo you look really busy.)
- Angel (Busy booth.)
Cosfest are always like that.Packed.This year like warmer and interaction space is further taken up by the chairs and a arena for Virtual-on.
It's more like a Convention this year. No one is paying attention to the stage and I missed Lenne's performance.Oh ya she's not singing solo this year.Haha.Wonder how she will sound for the Stellar Image song. The movie cosplayers are not helping either when they appeared out of nowhere. Everyone is virtually looking out for the Predator. Awesomeness. I do believe people like something different once in a while.
Cosfest 05 not as tiring as 04. In a sense, they significantly cuts down on the performance (which you know are hardly entertaining to even the cosplayers themselves...ask Yomiko...).
The TCSS strays are later handled roughly by Yours Eternally when vanilla left for Punggol (where she lived). d4 whisked them off for dinner at White Sands. There we do the usual talking session and take photos.Quite funny bcos we took a corner of the food court for ourselves.LoL.
d4 thinks hard.....nothing left on Cosfest 05. It was enjoyable. Looking forward for Natsu Matsuri and EOY 05 (If i could make it).
15/07/05 Leave me alone
No no it's not me. It's the title of a boring movie with Charlene in it. Will review it if got time.
................
no more dry twigs....
that's what you get when you aimlessly lived.
And I didn't like to discuss what other people discussed.
Oh ya I wanted the special Feng Yun figures!!!So nice!!!

Half past 6 review for a half bucket movie
You watched Kung Fu.
And you might had like the slapstick comedy and might love the characters Landlord and Landlord Lady.
More of Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hua???
Why not?
You might had caught an episode of Square Pegs (or you got the whole VCD set). You loved Roger Kwok's Ah Wang.
More of Ah Wang??
Why not?
What about Mahjong???....Wait.
I don't think anyone can get sick of that. (Although Your's Truly never played mahjong in his whole life and so absolutely clueless and CMI in mahjong)
And so Wong Jin made another movie on gambling.
Let's take a look at the basic plot frame......
Gambler lost quite a bit to a Gambling Czar.
Tournament.
Gambler won.
That's essential for almost all gambling movie. Somehow most gambling comedy will go in that direction.
Hey did I just made a spoiler for the movie even before I talk about it???
Anyway the plot is simple. Small time professional gambler/conman Zi Mo See (Yuan Hua) found Ah Wang (Roger Kwok), a waiter with fantastic memory while evading loansharks. See wants to make use of Ah Wang to get rich. There's only one obstacle.....Lady Boss (Yuan Qiu).
Put Zi Mo Si and Lady Boss together....ya...it will be like exactly what happened in Kungfu Hustle. See took Wang under his wing and encourage Wang to woo Cheryl (Theresa of the Cookies). Unfortunately Cheryl is the mistress to Boss Tian Jiu (Wong Jin). In a state misunderstanding, they exposed the affairs and Wang was beaten up till he becomes an idiot like a la Square Peg.The rest goes like cinematic formulae (clinches) of Wong Jin.
Nothing innovative but nevertheless entertaining. Gag wise, there are still the usual Misses but there are still some which you will chuckled but none really made one crack up. It's bad but not as bad as some of the movies Twins (or one of them) are in.
Here's some screencaps of an unexpected Cutey (Theresa) that appeared in the movie.
I liked the part whereby Cheryl becomes a hooker after their cover is blown and spotted by Wang. The part was handle so well and I was shocked when she jumped to her death.
Wang stood by the side and ate all the noodles he was supposed to deliver.

The usual as Far as I can recall entry
I'm lazy.
Some how I have been too lazy to update.
I am not really busy enough not to update.
Then again I am busy enough to do a lot of stuff.
Most of these days I went to sleep.
I slept at noon when I off.
Didn't really want to go out.
I watch the usual B grade Hk movies on vcd when I am not sleepy.
I also did a lot Batman watching (althought I didn't get to watch Batman Begins). I watched the entire season 1 of The Batman animation series. It was pretty nice althought they totally screwed the chronology and some of the villians' history.
And Bruce Wayne looks like Jackie Chan (As of the Animated Jackie).
Not that I am complaining. Clark Kent used to look like Bruce Wayne ( of Original TAS) until Batman team up with Superman and Bruce Wayne looks like someone else in the Superman TAS.
Got really into The Ravages of Time. This HK B&W comic sets in the Totally Romantic Era of Three Kingdoms. Of course I am still clueless why they called it the Romance of Three Kingdom because there pretty much nil female characters in the book.
Anyway the book is pretty much littered with battle of wits, chivalry and unstoppable generals.
Also an overkill of faux death, decoy generals, multiple identities and 1vs1000 scenarios.
And the biggest mindfuck involves a character called Meng.
Meng is an archer in the team of mercenary called the Crippled.
He also looks like a gal. They refer him as an eunuch. Yet he looks like a girl.
And he IS Diao Chan. One of the legendary Beauties in THAT ERA.
And that's not the end of it. He also had a liking for Liao Yuan Huo a.k.a Zhao Huo a.k.a Zilong a.k.a Zhao Yun a.k.a Leader of the Crippled.
And in recent volume (18)....Meng kissed Huo before he fell into the ravines (and into the 'arms' of Lu Bu who still thinks Meng is a woman).
And before that happened, Huo actually refers to Meng as 'biao zi' which means some what like bitch or slut in chinese when he tried to rescue Meng from Gan Ning.....so Huo...actually took Meng for a woman???
Oh the BL. LoL.
Subsequently Huo never returned to Sima Yi's side (BL pairing alert!) after that. He was so depressed by Meng's 'death' that he didn't returned back to marry Shu-zi from the Sun Family and finally making it quite official where Huo's heart went to.
Chen Mou was indeed very smart by inserting quite a lot of filler plots to beef up the RoTk background and extending the lifespan of the book. So much that, I expected, Longlang Zhuan to be very much shorter compare to RoT. I also believe he designed most of the key characters to be bishonen so as to gather a female following.
I also bought the Dreamers series by David Eddings. Didn't read them yet just like the LoTR novels. Read Twisted Toyfare Theatre however. Looking for volume 2-4 of the BEST series.
