So generally I going to fill up whatever little I can remembered in general in the upcoming posts.
Since I got a proper job, I can well settle my time abit more and do something more than just mopping around.
But first off.......don't buy that whole , mobile blogging, GPRS content shit. It's convinent but it's expensive. $40 for 4mb of data transfering is pure overcharging. I switched that service off and make a hoo-ha with M1 simply because I cannot believe that I was charged on a rate that no one will pay if they knew. So they waived half (I play the angry ignorant bumpkin/miser card) but yes it still leave a bad taste in the mouth.
Other stuffs to follow up. Keep the viewing consistant please, whoever read this. It's countdown to 9000 hits. Haha.

A problem of Mentality?
Let's drop the subject of ODEX aside for the moment.
Let's talk about Anime Downloaders.
A quick glance of feedback reveals that some people fail to acknowledge the fact that they are being targeted for doing something that is equivalent to stealing (Yes people, pinching is a form of stealing).
If you are thinking I am some H.I.P advocate who abide every rules, I am not. Althought I do believe there should be a certain rules of engagement regarding downloading:
1) You are a Thief. You steal with Stealth.
2) You are not a Terrorist. You don't preach a Higher ORDER over with what You are doing. You don't make a big hoo-ha neither should You be PROUD for what You did.
3) Take what you want and leave the rest. There's no point being caught, your hand in the cookie jar for what you cannot finish.
4) If you really like what you saw, pay for the real thing when you see it on the shelf.
5) There is something wrong with you if you pay for a merchandise many times more than the anime itself when you didn't pay for the anime. And you claim you are a fan.
6) If you didn't like what you saw, you didn't want to buy it then don't download the whole series.
There should be more but the main point is that everyone has to play a part in recognising the harm you will be returning back to the loop. I can see the main stayers, people who wishes the well-being of the circuit, refrain from advocating downloading like it's a God Given Right.
Best part, they claim they made the anime famous. Sad to the say, the credit should go to the fansubbers. Not the downloaders. Serious fans should made the series a commercial success.
Whenever an anime is licence in US, the fansubbers will drop the series. The reaction from Singaporean fans are akin to a crybaby who is being force to return a toy they took from someone else. It was pretty amusing to see the States people to be respecting the gesture.
So, while we Singaporeans are very much well versed in the internet, are we ready to take upon some responsibility by honouring intellectual property? That we are ready to be responsible to any action taken for our errors? That recent happenings are a result of what we did boomerang back to us?

Sing Sang
Those who have STOPPED downloading after the date of Sep 03 will not get any letters from us.
Oh. Assurance.
But....his idea of a warning shot is bizarre.
He was obviously never been threaten or given a dateline.
The reason why the heat escalated so fast was that their previous warning shot failed to sound.
No one can confirm it. No one spread the news and No one DECLARED IT openly.
Yes. The handling of the warning shot is very important.
You need the people to stop, you got to tell them to stop in a CLEAR and AUDIBLE manner.
You will need to go through all medium possible and give them ample time to react.
Sing made his declaration on 03 Sep 1.07pm.
On the ODEX forum
Singaporeans who persisted has......only 11 hours to react?
11 hours to spread the news to everyone. Wow.
24?
LOL.
p.s. d4thday took 30hrs to even give everyone a heads up. So what do you think? Will it be possible that anyone with determination to stop be hearing the news on time??? LOL.

It's not like BFC don't read newspaper
Odex blamed BFC for "their incorrect translation".
BFC hits back.
http://www.todayonline.com/articles/209169.asp
If this doesn't show that Odex path it's way with spin, I don't know what this is.

A game of lies continues....
Previously on Anime Civil War of Infinite Aggression....
Odex had the door slam on their face with their case thrown for lack of supporting evidence and suspiciously lacking the "rights to act".
Now.....
Odex get their expert witness from BayTSP and
Various Japanese Broadcasters and Anime Studio are coming to lend support....it was expected but I didn't realise the extend of their dedication....oh well, if the Bomber had fail to drop the payload and it's up to the Blazing Guns of Yamato to crack the walls down.
A press conference, of course, surfaced and dear old Stephen, motor his mouth away with more "True but not in entirely" answer to one of their better mishaps.
Errors and mistakes in Subtitles.
When we say Errors and mistakes, what do we think of?
Negligence? Complencent? The other Dirty Dozen?
In aircraft work, we got These Twelve Human Factors that will affect Quality.
You got Twelve possible things to say out and not be ashamed of since To Err is Human (To Forgive Divine....a quotable by Alexander Pope, Great Poet of the 18th Century....althought I can say that Forgiveness is hardly available in some people's heart...especially for ODEX. ESPECIALLY FOR ODEX) but you choose the Number 1 rule in a Press Conference.
Deny. Blame. Distract.
Victim of the Blame Game?
BFC. The Board of Film Censorship.
Way to go.
The BFC involvement only covers the parts which are altered by ODEX to suit BFC standards (in which I deduced is Kiasu, Go for ONE PASS without much supporting documentation). BFC does not check for your spelling, grammar and sentence structure (just like how Blogspot doesn't check my spelling, grammar and sentence structure) nor are they paid to do so.
Before we end, let's hear something from TV Tokyo Coporation's representative, Yukio Kawasaki
".....best to solve the problem, is through our licensees in each country....because licensees can take action very quickly. In this case, Odex is a very important partner to us."
and here is how I take it
"Listen!!!The Great Asian Ambition commitee has decide to employ licensees as our Kempeitai.
Kempeitai are the best there!!!And what they do, aren't nice!!! HEAR!!!"

The Uncompulsory, unnecessary entry by the fence-sitter
Downloaders are primarily been playing poker with Odex as it appears.
And after so many players folded and pay up did we realised that Odex had always been calling bluff. Odex wasn't holding a winning hand at all.
If you didn't heard it yet, District Judge Earnest Lau threw the case out for Odex for the Pacnet hearing. Of course it wasn't about the same silly thing about compassion or such or that Anime Downloading is LEGAL (it's still NOT.) but rather Odex is not entitled to take the action against the users of PacNet.
It is a matter of insufficient evidence to justify Odex's action and the questionable aspect of Odex's behaviour.
It does not equate to that Legal Action will not be taken against downloaders.
The fandom/downloaders suddenly turned yaya 881 (Papaya!!LOL) all the sudden.
Sure this incident might take Odex out of the play but end of the day we got to realise that people should be responsible for themselves. They got to start accepting responsibility of their own actions. The download links are there but it is YOU who activate the downloading. People who don't buy your stuff is not because they are cheapskates but because you aren't competitive enough. The only reason why things got this far, is because people do not accept their wrong doings and choose to play the blame game.
Sure fansub spread the fandom but when good things are abused, we seldom get any happy endings.

Ship of Fools
With Odex awarding letters for (or like Stephen Sing, now INFAMOUSLY put it on the Web..."double-6-ed") every anime downloaders, it's quite true that every anime lover of Singapore on the internet with a blog will eventually make their stand. (Kind of like how in last Great-Marvel-Event, Civil War, taking sides.)
Yes true believers, we are now at Crisis or Countdown to Crisis of Multiple Anime Downloaders.
Surely you don't think it's the END?
No!
It's the Begining of the END of FREE LOADERS!!!
Excelsior!!!
I do wondered if I am getting the straw with the short end. Everyone does. Live in fear for past action done.
Then again I had cut down since last January so.......
Anyway my side of the Crisis/War is Fence Sitter. In the middle. People always tell me, stand in the middle, get knock down by both sides of the traffic. Quite true but this isn't REAL LIFE. Yes. It seems Distant to me.
I mean whats the point of hurling abuses at Forces of Change???
Especially when they have LAW ON THEIR SIDE( Bejesus to the TNP journalist who wrote this line. LOL).
WE ARE HERE TO HELP YOU???
Lord have mercy on our souls, we are a small group of consumers (or rather non-consumers) getting a kick of something free. If Odex had earlier went on a propanganda, running a campainge to educate the situation, give enough "weather forecast", I am sure the hostility will be cut down by at least a good 20%-30% because we are not a bunch of brutes. By help, it's detering the concerned from committing the offence and not, collecting settlement fees and say
WE WANT TO HELP YOU???
So is it productive hurling abuses at the fall guy???
Odex is the fall guy.
To show the Americans that Japanese Businessmen means business, Odex will be doing the dirty work and taking fall for them. Business benefits are inevitable, obvious and who knows how much "kopi lui" benefit comes about. At worse, Odex can fold and reemerge with another name (note the "Pte Ltd") just to hawk their wares. At best, Odex will emerge a super power and giving them an edge over competitors (Fat hope???!)
I won't side with the overly "PASSIONATED" fans.
Bunch of ChickenShitZ who post empty threats and BIG WORDS.
Best part???
Stephen Sing (now TNP Headline Story for 15/09/2007. Yes your parents and family and friends will be so proud of you) took the harmless threats as SERIOUS and made police report (over lolz stuff ESP The WANTED POSTER. I think he took offence over the $9000 reward. Too little I guess???).
Singaporean Netizens made fun of MP's daughter, she never cry and call police....
and Stephen Sing thought he was....more Important?
Oh come on. That's Internet Justice served with a pinch of salt.
The media???
A lot of UnTruth (or misquote. Depending on where you standing) is being made and observed by many. Either Odex is lying or providing statistics with poor explaination. I publish any of my "findings" unless there's a demand.
Want to be a good fan???
Stop wasting time blasting Odex.
Spent more time watching existing anime.
Buy the original.
If you need a quick fix on the latest, watch via streaming since they aren't in focus at the moment. Don't pay heed to hearsay. They are catching downloaders and not users of an internet service.
To sum up on this entry, I will to draw attention these article which is 3 parts.

Fanboy THINKTANK
dkiwi did an inspiring post on his blog (Hey! I wouldn't be posting his link here!!! Haha!!! Go google!!! No I am not scared of the social backlash. Just the post was meek on his blog compared to his post captured on the sgcafe forum. Read it in Original Flavour via other people's quoting before he EDIT).
Anyway, he was going fascist in a way, as to defend his love while expressing that there are people of SUBSTANCE (as pertaining to going to school, Cream of Crop of the University) that are watching.
Of course we usually use examples like that just to get people from smacking a LOSER label on yourself.
But the big winner is from this line
(quoting dkiwi)
Well, this proves the smart, mature ones appreciate anime, and the dumb, narrow-minded ones are stuck to their dramas and movies.
which I find, in especially, amusing. It's fascist. Probably more fascist than when Mr. KKP slapped his Cosfuck label on almost everyone on his Cosfuck Awareness Drive Days.
All the sudden I realised this guy probably is a cross between a Parent who discover that D&D chess pieces that SCREAMS when thrown in Fire and a Pothead.
Here's more his weird rambling. Yes. Maybe the sky is really falling but we had to be GREEN. We rather live with the sky falling than being drowned like rats as envisioned by the Greatest Discover and Inventor of LAST CENTURY, Mr Al Gore. (Buy An Inconvenient Truth today!!!Now on DVD!!!)
actually an industry expert in another forum has already confirmed at least manga readers (which branch into consumers of anime, light novels and visual novels) are smarter than the average consumer. Yes, its the chuangyi manga forum.This stems from how the average consumer things that anime and manga is "just cartoons and comic books" and shuns them, while those with higher IQ are able to appreciate them to a deeper degree and start commenting on them. Would any of your normal friends pick up Potemayo? I don't think so. Yet alot of anime bloggers have commented on it positively. And Potemayo is Seinen as well, which means it targets the 18-30 male crowd.Like I have already stated, its the truth. It isn't like I didn't grow up reading these really thick novels from the likes of Jeffery Archer and Isaac Asimov. I watched more than my far share of dramas and movies. But why do I prefer light novels and manga to normal novels? 'Coz ultimately, they are a superior form of entertainment and not mindless American drivel that our society is consuming, causing their brains to degenerate. The propoganda from the government isn't helping either.Please don't let societal pressure convince you otherwise. Its the truth. Light Novels like Suzumiya Haruhi are definitely much harder to write than a draggy novel, which allows much more room for character development. Unskilled and boring. Light novels need to move quickly, and can be very complex as well such as Suzumiya Haruhi. My take on the religious and scientific expect of Suzumiya Haruhi (I didn't import this over as I felt it was abit offensive):
oh shit. It seems I am attacking on his state of mind delusion more than anything.
But who can buy that without being mistake that someone is Sniffing Glue???
Light Novels are harder to write and allow more room for character development???
I really wonder what kind of garbage he had been reading since he discover how to read, before he made a switch to Japanese Light Novels.
Reading Potemayo proves nothing. Really. In fact I never heard of it, possibly because it's over ecchi, or playing heavily on the MOE card.
It's like, I read Sandman and really, that encounter didn't make me more a Shakespeare fan, nor a Goth (fanbase of Sandman covers a prominent among of Goth). I got zero piercings or tattoos.
Sandman is just a good piece of literature/art that make us goes introspective on ourselves. I can't say I got smarter in anyway BUT I do gain something in the end. I wonder if I threw a bundle of Sandman to this dKiwi.....
anyway back to being the fascist....
You're correct there, but I'm really not an escapist. I'm not so rigid as to shun all movies and dramas. I got my circle of friends and we go out for movies quite often. SG is caught in the movie trap seriously... that's the main social gathering.I don't flame Transformers openly in front of my friends although I think it SUCKS DICK.I'm not escaping reality here, more embracing it. Most movies (and sickening dramas) I watch disappoint me tremendously, and I wonder why everyone thinks they are good. Are they the ones escaping reality or me I wonder, I wonder.In fact the excuse that most people give me for catching local dramas is because they got "nothing better to do". They can sense it sucks, but yet they don't wanna watch better stuff.
Ok. He's hell of deluded. I wonder if it's being in NS or Singaporean or a Haruhist Extremist or what. Or he got a major tendency to disagree with the Mass (God Knows). The Transformers isn't the best movie of the Year (not Yet) but it certain doesn't Sucks Dick (how a movie sucks dick???I only know got movies that got plenty of dick sucking but no movie can actually does that act....I am sure any movie with that function will SELL. Everyone is tired of self helping.)
If anime had made me anything, it made me a pussy.
It made me to think that there's two side of a coin.
That trying to be too hard from being something you dislike might just make you ultimately the worse person you want to be.
Trying to make everyone look your way, only make everyone turn the other way.
That every action begets a reaction.
That fascism, racism is never the right path.
I just wonder how anyone who watch anime can end up being that way. Strange indeed.

Post No. 239
Well normally I don't pay attention to labelling but due to some petty reasons, I am forced to embark on a task to forcefully label everything as close to the topic possible. There's 3 main genre themes (current standing before this post is 238 entries):
-Daily Slices (of life) which stands at 38%
-Watched (any form of media. Be it Movie,Drama, Tokusetsu or Anime.) 22%
-Quiz 9%
Out of 238 entries only 13 entries are about sgcafe. That's like 5%.
If 5% of the actual amount is all I ever posted,
wow. It really says about those people. Donkeys and Asses. Pussies that didn't got stroked.

Friendsters
Finally I hit 150 friends!(shinkaze@yahoo.com).
Althought I got that number last week about the time my com suffered damage from a misadventure.I remember I got 151 but after my com problems are solved,I got 148 Friends.
What happened????
I dunno but I noticed a person missing.I remembered the name was Motricia or something.I went to look but I cannot never find that profile again.She was one of those people I added during my out of fun blitz period.Maybe she felt offended that a strange guy added her and that guy hardly make a move to contact her (via message or MSN).
The other one?I got no idea.I just remember Motricia because she had a sweet smile on that photo of hers.Then again it might not be her in that photo.What gives.I am not really upset.Just more curious.
Fafner (fafner_azure@yahoo.com.sg) was an account I created for Dead Aggressor: Fafner in the Azure.It was quite good that there are several genuine people out there who like Fafner althought most of them aren't Singaporeans.There are quite a lot of philipinos on Fafner's list.Looks like People in the Philipines liked Anime as much as any other people in any other country does.Currently there's 46 heads and I got a new request every 2 or 3 days.

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.
Photoshop of the day (or yesterday or the day before yesterday)

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.....

FMA Quiz
Just the other day I wanted to do it but translation is a hassle.
BNN from Sganime posted it up so I just used my semi-finish work and see if we can have a small collaboration and he was quick to give a nod.
End product is this:
FMA Quiz
Cheap toy make with cheap material.I only made use of Frames and other simple html that I had forgotten so far.Also the Izumi pic is horrible but whatever.Dun think anyone will complain about my small project anyway.
Anyway I made a few changes now it's Version 1.02.I changed the use of 4 frames to 3 frames so as to incoporate the use of Java for the reset function.I gonna improve and make a Version 1.1 which the center frame will changed appearance once the user click to his/her result.
However...like this blog...it only display properly on IE.(OPERA users can tell the difference).

Red Eyes...
Playing with PS today....
Found a 'Getting Rid of Red Eye' in Photoshop 7 for dummies so I just gave it a try...although I found it kinda like cutting
corners method...
My abridged (dried) version of the procedure
1.Zoom in to the red eyes
Select Elliptical Marquee tool and drag around pupil. Press ALT to draw ellipse center out.
From Select, go to Transform Selection
Double click or enter (depending how you preset your PS7) to confirm transformation
From Select, go to Feather and type .5 pixels in dialog box (I skipped this step and also 3,4 actually)
Press D for Default Colors.
Select Brush tool and choose a preset tool.
Select Color from Mode menu of the Brush Option
Select color and paint? After that use Burn tool to dark the thing.
before vs after 
not much difference??? Looking for alternative meanwhile.
