Ah late reports but what gives....
Karaoke on 2nd and 7th
On 31st I got a sorethroat so bad I lost my voice. Big deal. I believed it's something that some people wanted so I cannot disturb them and probably being make light of. Or maybe as what the song "When you say nothing all" reminded me of a thing someone told me (something that is close to a reject). I don't need to open my mouth since nothing nice comes out.
Anyway I planned a karaoke with the lads (and lasses) from sgcafe on the 2nd, so it was indeed an unfortunate change of events.
At any rate I did went.
As usual Yuki got early. She is always early and very early.
And I got late. Always late and not so late.
What do you get from a superhero??He is always late but not too late. LOL.
This time round, we be rejoining with the lads from last year karaoke session (lol. minus the lasses. Xy&Ny and joyce). So Seiya and Tanaku Yuki is there too. It's funny but we ate at the very same foodcourt the last time.
Then the late party comes with everblue. violet, yukino, sk and charsaur. Stee-van came along because I asked him to. I realised maybe we bored him because karaoke might not be his thing.
So we went to partyworld. We lads sang some songs. With the lasses not wanting to sing. Well talk about shyness.LoL. Yuki got something to say about my singing and she wrote it on her blog so just I wouldn't be writing. I just thought I can sing and most likely I presume it's because I am drunk. Oh well. That's karaoke anyway. Keon (everblue's friend) can sing but we jerky boys decided we can sing without mike and covered him up (LOL.)
After song it rained so we just zig zag around to the MRT to PS.
Met up with Hajime & Shuuichi for dinner. They were like some engross with their own shopping, they delayed Violet from reaching home on time. Eh. Gals.
Haven't seen Shuuichi for a while and she looks kinda different and reliable sources hints she got some rather positive changes lately (of course I didn't know back then but my instincts for certain things never changes.LOL.Serene say I am a red nose reindeer but I am a red nose sniffer dog. Always sniffing for scoops). In any case, whatever happiness, must share so don't let me see submarine. Just declare your boat and I will let him sail in free without worries. Keep it submerged and I will start shooting. LOL.
Ate Pasta Mania. No idea what to eat so Crap and walk around. Crap and walk around.
Which reminds me to buy the Hentai Enterprise coconut because the photo I took was bad.
Finally we ended up on the kopitiam. As usual the cinderallas had to meet a certain timing so once Inova reached, the rest all go (because there's school the next day for the lads too) save Yuki. Lol. So we just sit and talk till it's about time.
7th Jan karaoke is a make-up session for Inova. Despite his quiet appearance online (or at sgcafe that is), he is quite rowdy and.....showwy. Lol. He is good singer of course (better than me). Charsaur (he is quite enthu) is asked only because he enjoys singing as much and only because he is available in short time notice. The rest, we might missed out because we didn't spoke about until late night the day before. Yuki as usual is paying to be punished. She is kinda tired and after some torment...curled into a ball (Look at the picture at the previous previous entry).
My throat got better but I still sing like a cow on blue cheese.
Wallace & Gromit : Curse of the Were-rabbit
It's a wonderful piece of clay animation. There's some usual English humour. Strangely due to the late release, the King Kong reference in the movie seems to be on cue (funnier than it should be). No. It's not one of those movies which can change your life but definately it's worth of it's ticket price to watch. Great stuff.
Anchorman: Legend of Ron Burgundy
If you love The 40 Year Old Virgin and Starksy and Hitch, you will love Anchorman. Steve Carell is in this before 40 Year Old as someone they describes on the cover "Eye in the Sky, Head in the Clouds". He was hilarious whenever he was to be involved.
Anyway the star is Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy. Top rated anchorman and beloved by the whole of San Diego. The meat of the story comes with a new girl in the team. Back in the 70's, female news reporter are unheard of and being sexist pigs they are, the channel 4 news team, they tried to prevent her from staying.
It's a laugh a riot but the humour might get across as either crass or weird (there's a love scene...that wasn't quite a love scene. See to believe. LoL.) or primary school (name calling games...lol).
And the best part?I got it from the bargain bin! Damnit I am such a cheapskate.
DQ VII: The Journey of The Cursed King
Sorry to Violet. I got to apologise for the other day I just sign off that sounds angry and rude. Not that I am mad with you over the whole group chat thing but I am just eager to play this game. And sorry to others who felt neglected. I am like that when I got a bit caught up with things.
This is a very old school turn based rpg that didn't cut corners with being old school. Sure there are things that doesn't look old school (alchemy pot, tension system) but the graphics and the sound effect sure adds to it. Toriyama is doing the character designs and it was great althought some of the characters resembles from previous works. Storyline is almost linear just this game is tough. Levelling is slow. For FF series, a good 25hrs is already a gauge that you are about level 30 or more but over here, it's little more than level 25. Is it me?The random battles are tough, there's always too many and too many surprise the enemies can offer. Each character can utitlise more than one type of weapon but there's only enough skill points to distribute. It all boils down to choices and more choices. Earning money is slow too. While you doesn't need to buy herds after a while, weapons are expensive and not always the type you trained for. Ahhh....more money = more battle = more time.
And it was say it can took 100hrs just to complete. I think I gonna take longer then.
...........................
I got some free time so I went to Aunt Peggy's place for a haircut...I prefer this one over the past few she did for me. Perhaps solving the problem from a previous barber is easier for her.LOL.
And 3 days later
the shop she rented for her business kana caught fire.
I felt sad but there's nothing much I can do except to express my sympathy to mum. I don't think I am good with helping her coping with her loss. In fact she spent so much time running between the shop and household, I kinda felt upset too. For something to happen before CNY was really bad especially when all her goods were gone and some of the CNY goodies she suppose to deliver are all gone. She happily told me the other day the extra cash she got for selling the Pineapple tarts while I carried them for her. Now I cannot imagine how she felt because not only she had to refund but because of how disappointed the other party might be. And I know she was the responsible type so it's not going to be easy to face them.
I just hope everything got better for Auntie Peggy here after.
