Clean up....

Updated some links particularly those who stop using their old blog and got themselves a LJ.

On the subject of LJ, I wouldn't need to get one since I already got a lj and there's no point showing anyone as nobody really wants to see it since it's something that most people already had.

Oh well the new siggy regulation is by tEh KENSHIN so I upload this Mika Kikuchi for nothing. Whatever. I just stick it here. Some people got random image on their blogs anyway.

It's the cover for her latest single My Star, ED for Capeta.

2530...........????

It's funny that I actually went to something like a publicity event (actually it's a Wrap Up Celebration Dinner). I never listen to radio much and even less be going to such events.

The dinner is held at Toa Payoh that Fortune Restaurant. Funniest thing is that I bump into Spidekim. Now I see why he talk like that (like Wenhong w/o mike. My mother say he talk very loud. LoL).

The food is ok lah but it's a $20 per head dinner so you got about $20 worth of restaurant fare.

There's a award ceremony cum meet the fans session. I don't listen so the interest wasn't so there. Also the dishes are served slowly.....#$%$#@!....so listen to what they say lor...while smsing yuki because she is the only person that bothers to reply me.

Saw Kaira Gong and Chen Huihui.
Kaira Gong is so dark and skinny. Wow. The power of the camera. I wonder if Spiderkim shot her.
Chen Huihui who starts out being the uglier/cao lao actress when she was younger perhaps gain the power of modern cosmestics (or lower expectations) turns out to be quite unlike Chow Chor Meng, ageless (so you all Cao Lao looking gals don't fret. Your time is later. Lol.)

Still 2530 sounds interesting. I wouldn't mind if there are d/led mp3 for me to listen. However sounds like the concept is close to that 9pm show. Maybe the 9pm show copy it.

Movies

Nothing to type. Maybe type about what I took time to watch recently.


Dragon Tiger Gate

Oh wow. A barrel of flat humour and flying hair that swings out of control. Somebody sell them Gatsby.

In the class Small Hooligan,all 3 had their parted namely left(Tiger), left(Dragon) and right(Turbo). However in the ending scene where they all stood in front of the School after cracking an unfunny reference to having 2 dragons (which was strangely left out in the bootleg dvd my brother bought), all of them were parting on the left.

An ok show to pass them. Given the cult status, the violence level falls to the pits.
I thought they were making for children but HK censors gave it a IIB rating. LoL. I wonder what Narnia got.


My Super Ex-girlfriend

In my personal opinion, this movie is better than Dragon Tiger Gate althought it is still awful where falling out from expectation is concern. The "super" part will like 30% but not totally juiced. So was the Ex-girlfriend part. Uma Thurman is still playing aftermath KiLL BiLL derangness but her character is hollow. Luke Wilson (brother of Owen Wilson) was perhaps rope in because of his crazy Ex experience(Drew Berrymore. However she sober by the time she met him)? The ex-girlfriend part wasn't enough and you can smell the ending miles away (but there's some extra stuff threw in. Unlike Dragon Tiger Gate). The supporting cast were actually pretty good althought common tokens and stereotypes.Hmmmm...where's the nigger rapper???

Click

Surprisingly this is the one movie which I got surprised.
Despite knowing what might be the end (because it's an Adam Sandler movie. Feel good comedy).

Click revolves about leading life at the fastlane and coping with family. Most of us will know even the students will know despite not into working life yet. So it is a meaningful movie and perhaps more relevant to me than the other 2 movies. I recommend this to whoever had some time to actually watch it and decipher the simple message behind this movie.

Why don't you quit?

I asked myself many times this question before but this is one time I really want to ask someone.

You came late for work yet you claim hours to go back earlier.
Then you do a half ass cleaning up then you start to log into your bookie account, read sportpunters and post on Asianbookies with the commentaries you copied from sportpunters. Oh wow. Then you stay like glued until there are customers refusing to get any other work done. I mean how much are you paid???Huh????30% more than me and I had to split my comission with you. Oh wow. Perhaps I am not better than you in sales but you are just a slacker. Whenever there's paperwork and networking, you just push to me. Don't think I don't know the lies you told me about other people. Also don't let me know what other kind of lies you told people about me.

While I am not the best worker, I did what I had to do.
Now that you didn't even bother to help me keep my belongings and allow Serene to throw them away. She didn't know because she doesn't value books. If I want to throw things I throw myself. Why can't you ask? Why can't you sms?
You didn't let her threw away old magazines and newspapers.
You let her threw away all of whatever it is left in me to treat you with respect.

Wake up man.
It's either this job or Asianbookies.
If you love being a tipster so much why don't you quit this job?
I mean you can make millions and billions because your tips your parlays are so accurate. Just start collection money for every tips you give?Or you can't? Because you SUCK ASS in EPL. While the whole world is into EPL, you couldn't give even a good tip on EPL.
Hey wait BrO PrO, why aren't you rich yet? Everyone is fattening up their wallet with your winning parlays and tips why you are not?

Oh wait. Is it Karma? Karma comes to you smack in the face like a boomerang if you are not prepare for it. It's because you been slacking on your job that you just wouldn't get a hit if you place a bet?

And oh. Minnie. Come on lah, either she is a bait or she is a Hard Candy psycho. You already had a loving girlfriend. She isn't the perfect beauty but at least she is a beauty when given make up. Perhaps you are making up stories because you are having a blant life or just to boast you are a casanova. Oh wow. Now you are an online casanova. Reminds me why H-games existed.

Oh wow. Online supporters. Geez. What a great audiences. Come on lah. These people doesn't bother about you. Probably the people who flame you are the very boliao people who just wants to have fun. You really think there are that much people who actually really your post?For online maths, 1 view is 1 view. Not 1 person. Example 20 views might be from 3 person. You never know. Oh wow. Bro Pro. Give us some EPL tips and confirm next day lotsa people will leave home to hid from bookies.

And getting married?Come on lah. I hope your girlfriend don't get married to an illiterate net bum who likes to cheat on her for the thrill of Two-timing.

At this rate you are going, you either quit your job and move on or you quit your virtual GOD status and go on with LIFE.

Oh or I quit and left you a greaT MESS?Mmmhhh sounds good.

That's about all. Oh. And THANK YOU FOR ALL THaT w0rk you gave me which you are paid for.

IPPT again

well this is my target. Hopefully I can meet this standard during the RT.

Daisy

I got this movie for like ages already but I guess I forgotten about it.

So I just watch it while scrubbing the display case's Gundam collections and stuff.

Age old storyline of Killers, Love and Policemen.
The story is told 3 way. The Killer ,Park Yi, who admires Painter ,Hye-Young, and the Interpol ,Jeong Woo, who Hye-Young loves later on.
The scenry was nice. Picturesque Europe (Amsterdam) in a romantic mode.

Daisy.The daisy pot that Jeong Woo that carry with him when he sat in front of Hye-Young
Daisy.The daisy that Park Yi sent at 4.15pm everday to Hye-Young's gallery.
Daisy.The daisy field that Hye-Young painted which eventually led to Park Yi's affection.

Daisy speaks of secret admiration.
Daisy speaks of Purity, Innocence.

A good movie to watch in lazy afternoons. A romantic break from traditional Killer/Revenge movies. A tale of hidden love that gone wrong.

which ice-cream?

Your Icecream Flavour is...Chocolate!

You are the all time favorite, chocolate! Turning white kids black since the 1800s. Staining carpets, car seats, and bed sheets for centuries. One thing is for sure, you will never go out of style. You can't go wrong with chocolate!

What is your Icecream Flavour?

Cosplay Quest

Actually I got nothing to blog. I think I let Tramadoldog get onto me. Haha.

Anyway Cosplay Quest is kinda like a rehash of the other events I go to.

Performances were the same. The Indian gal who cosplay Bleach '05 went up to sang just like she did for Cosfest '06. There's Hisoka who sung that song she sang from Cosfest '06 sung minus her guitarist. She also sung that ED from Witch Hunter Robin.

Hmmm somehow here is the rant. When people are singing the least you people can do is sit still not clearing the space and then start shooting at the nearest cosplayer. It's rude. I hope all audience cosplayers ought to refuse photo taking at that moment because you are an audience too and there's plenty of time you can be shot after it. Also people, CLAP. Show some appreciation can or not? No wonder no one want to perform.

The usual Spiderkim supporter (us) just ehhhh...motion with him during the song. People think we are crazy but my ultimate plan to make him forgot how to sing haha. SK sung the OP to Flashman. Haha I thot he can only sing those new ku niang songs.

Haha Stee Van kana called up to do para para. Sugoi Neh.

The only problem I see in the MC. I never seen her before but she is worse than those 2 I saw in the EoY' 05. She know nuts about everything and she made it 'leng chang' instead of making the contestants or the audiences excited. Hope she can improve. That is if she got another chance. Stage work is cruel and if you cannot take it, that's the end of it.

Blah blah blah same old skit with Angelzhou and her OTT performance. I think there is a consistency with her online persona and real personality.

Event fin. So head for lunch.
Didn't ate a chicken chop that filling before. Cineleisure's serving is BIG (but ex. Or not too much bah). Not too bad also. Will try again. *mouth watering*

Saw spikeout (as usual) and Chrno Jing. Before we even arrive saw a gal chase a guy. LOL. Odd couple? Haha.

After lunch (or dinner?) went to plaza sing to shop for drinks and food. Bought a 1Litre Apple Juice and drunk along the way to Paradiz that side to play game. Play KOF XI. The players there look Pro but not Pro at all. Except for the gal I saw before I go. She looks like one of the Ouran cosplayer from Cosfest (the one with the wrong blue color).

Inova going to be Mori-sempai?Haha. I heard he had to carry a Hani-sempai. If it's the hani from this Cosplay Quest......Gambatte Inova!!!!Hit the gym 1st!!!

dOLLAR.4.thE.day

Why the change?

Just yesterday I met a fund raiser in the form of an auntie.

And when I refused, she BARKS


"WHY CAN'T YOU SHARE!"

Auntie, my $ is my business. Do I need to produce my receipts to you proving I am a moderate sharer???

Hencefore I declare I will donate $1 to my Inuyasha coin box for every entry I made and by X'mas I will open up and then




USE THE $ TO BUY ME A GIRI GIRI GRAVURE BOOK.

YES AUNTIE. I BUY ME A GREAT GIRI GIRI GRAVURE BOOK AND I WILL SCAN DISTRIBUTE IT OUT OVER THE NET FOR EVERYONE INCLUDING MINORS. HOW'S THAT FOR CHARITY?????

About Tramadol....

Anyone noticed the annoying spambot on my tagboard, tramadoldog?
(nah, nobody reads my blog anyway. Lol.)

Whatever it is, this entry is about tramadol (thanks to Tramadoldog)

Tramadol is a painkiller drug.
Yup.
And what are painkillers for?
To kill pain. Yup.?
What is going on when you are taking painkillers in excessive (or for no reason)?
It's called drug abuse.
Drug abuse is bad mmmmkay?

Tramadol exhibit dependence akin to morphine type and similar withdrawal symdromes.
It is taken orally.

So remember guys and gals,
drugs are bad
stay away from drug mmmkay?

and taghoards are drug peddlers.
Programmers that created drug peddling taghoards goes to hell
condemned a lifelong dependence to digging their own anus til it bleeds.

Loving You to Mayonaka To Doa

Minnie Ripperton's Loving You MV

Loving You by Minnie Ripperton

Loving you
Is easy because you're beautiful....
Making love with you
Is all I want to do....
Loving you
Is more than just a dream come true....
And everything that I do
Is out of loving you....

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring....
Stay with me while we grow old....
And we will live each day in spring time....

Because loving you....
Has made my life so beautiful....
And every day of my life
Is filled with loving you....
Loving you....
I see your soul come shining through....
And everytime that we....
Oh I'm more in love with you....


I first heard somewhere in some drama before but it's finally South Park that made me went to listen to the song proper. The song featured in a gag about Stan's Uncle Jimbo rigging a bomb on the mascot of the Cowboys which Stan's Cows team are suppose to play against. When Richard Stamos hits the high F, the bomb will be triggered off killing the mascot. It's especially wicked finally when Richard Stamos didn't screw up on the high F. LoL. Btw it's in the episodes from Season 1 of South Park titled "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride"

Anyway Minnie Ripperton is amazing. The rest of her songs are worth checking. BtW, she passed away before I was born.

Here's a rendition of the same song by Jane Zhang Liang Yin, 3rd place winner of China's 1st and maybe last Idol style Singing Competition, on youtube. Here's a more polished rendition she sung in an award ceremony.

She's also sung the Opening Theme to China's version of the Return of Condor Heroes in which Liu Xifei played Xialong Nu.

To my bitter amusement, Liu Xifei sung ED theme to Powerpuff Gals Z.
Check this out. A full version with Xifei playing an escaped singer on her birthday.
And a fan's merging of the ED sequence to her chinese edition of the same song

July movie Viewing

Nacho Libre

http://www.nacholibre.com/

Obviously it is a pure popcorn affair but still it's beautifully shot of limit sets on a sleepy Mexico town.

Jack Black is the hero of the show, a priest who always wants to be a wrestle perhaps in a desperate act of proving himself by fighting in the ring. As he continues to lose in the ring, his life gradually improves and when a shot at a exhibition match with the Best is presented to him, will he really proves his worth?

Good for snoozy hot late afternoons.

Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead man's Chest
http://disney.go.com/disneypictures/pirates/

If there's only 1 epic sequel you had to watch this summer, this is the movie you cannot afford to miss.

In fact after 3 weeks of screening, we only get a 4th row seat in the end. Shows how popular it is.

Strangely this movie poses a stark contrast to Nacho Libre.
Nacho Libre is more natural with some rather physical comedy thrown. Simple ingredients but enjoyable. Like some home cooked dish.
Where as in Pirates 2, is still the same enjoyment but too many ingredients thrown in.
The expensive sets were fantastics. The storyline goes in 3 directions but ultimately going back to the same conclusion. It's a great adventure movie whereby it going to windwards to the next sequel. Brillant.

However there was something in the end that was kind of worthy to discuss.

Will saw Elizabeth kissed Jack Sparrow. The truth is that Elizabeth kissed Jack in order to tricked him so that the rest of them can be saved.
Will Will (haha) forgive Elizabeth when she says the truth?
I think he will be more pissed about that than her kissing Jack.
Love is such a complicated issue.
Jeez.

This movie is a good one to sit in double bill with the first Pirates movie. However the 1st movie is very much better one. Much more focused.
Great for a day's entertainment when things are slowing down.

Shimokita GLORY DAYS

Granted that watching anime, South Park and playing Persona 3 isn't enough, I started randomly choosing drama to watch. Since Uramiya Honpo is ongoing (I seldom watch ongoing drama), I choose another Tv Toyko production that Uramiya Honpo preceded over on the same slot (meaning a 20++ mins feature that slated for adults late at night).

Shimokita Glory Days is also a manga drama. Difference is that it's a harem title. And it's not a Youth or Teens title (Lol!!!) I guess.

Effects are quite good. A comedy involving a caretaker cum student looking after/living with embodiment of sexual fantasies archtype. And boobies. Yes sir. You actually get to see boobies.

I mean what else do you expect?Blatant examples are unnecessary exposure and omake sequences during ending sequences.

Cast wise, other than the lead actor (who isn't especially good looking. Rather ugly but adorably ugly. LoL.) are an ensemble crew of gravure actress or AV actresses.


Ichitarou as Ono Yuta
- Nothing. I refuse to oblige to research on him.
- Alright. He is actually from the Synchro Boy Group (meaning the swimming boys who actually did that for a living.)

Seto Saki as Tajima Minori
- Gravure/swimsuit model
- Tv actress (actually the rest of them had experiences of TV serial roles.)

Mashiko Rie as Muroi Chiho
- Gravure/Bikini Model

Honoka as Nishina Natsume
- AV
- Provides the fanservice/gratuitous nudity

Asami Yuma as Komori Miha
- AV
- Provides the fanservice/gratuitous nudity

Yabuki Haruna as Okazaki Kaori
- Gravure/Bikini Model

Hashimoto Manami as Uehara Mao
- Gravure/Bikini Model

Sugimoto Aya as Enoki Tsuyako
- In anime otaku sense, she is better known as Queen Beryl in Sailormoon Live Action.
- Other than that, she is a versatile actress/idol singer/gravure & photography model.
- Oh and she did nude shots too (lol. Yes I know it's irrelevant)

Aoi Sora as Ichimonji Nozomi
- Sora Aoi is AV actress who also did several gravures and currently acting in other TV shows. Guess a classic case of AV actress turns good. She is winding down on her AV career I guess. She gets to keep her clothes on for this (sniggers)


Because this is considered an "adult" show so kiddos who still are regulated by ma and pa on what they are watching on tv/desktop to keep the volume down and google cast names with care (except Ichitarou. Lol.)
