Armed With Broom And Dustpan To Clean This Yellow Page!

You are Zell! Hyperactive much? Caffeine and you should stay far from each other. You might be a little shy with the opposite sex, but in big groups you're extremely outspoken. Your emotions run strong, and though you might try to hide them, you seldom succeed. Take the Final Fantasy 8 Test here!

How's this? I believe I have to start with the same thing as I did previously, only replacing the "5 days" with "2 weeks"!!

I have neglected Final Fantasy 8 for a long time [very long time, much more than how long I have neglected this page]. How can I ever relive the time when the most basic gaming instinct of two Primary 6 boys busy [or ought to be] mugging for PSLE was curbed by this game [Isaac should know]. It managed to press down all thoughts of playing more than one virtual reality based game and actually 'concentrate' on the major life judgement.

So when I actually chanced upon the test [above] I completed it only to have the results showing me to be my favourite character [other then Rinoa whom we ALL love] from the game! Coincidental or what!

On the topic of neglect, I for one have neglected my studies like how the U.S. government care for sulphur vents lifeforms.

Like how I got 0/35 for this recent Physics test [ashamed ashamed!] and also how I screwed up Chemistry SPA by using the volume that I have calculated instead of the volume obtained experimentally [I supposed my thoughts sort of crashed then].

But its still ok. We have to move on.

On happier thoughts, the apparent success of Gamma House Party [not evaluated yet!] and how I have been attending lessons religiously these recent days puts me in a better state of mind.

How religious? Just last Thursday, Teachers' Day, I attended a religious event at East Coast Park. It was one of the many 7th month auctions held in Singapore during the month of the Hungry Ghosts [the kind that goes "50 dollars!! 50 dollars!! 50 dollars once!! 50 dollars once!!" all through the night and might very well be termed disruptive].

I got there because the seafood restaurant where my mum works "bought" a table for the diner and since it's her day off her boss invited her to attend. Somehow, the boss invited both my mother and myself! My rejections are rejected ["My boss already reserved one seat for you already!"].

At the table [under a well constructed tent at a not exactly flat area near East Coast Seafood Centre], I was initially traumatised by a few things around me.

1. The irritating fact that Singaporeans cannot ever make it to any dinner on time.
2. This elderly lady behind whose alter-ego I believe is a chimney.
3. The blaring loudhailer acting as a speaker right in my face.

I guess all of us commit the first point every now and then [and it is not exclusive to Singaporeans] hence I would not be pointing fingers.

Also, this elderly 'lady' behind me smoked a whopping grand total of 9 cigarettes from the start of the dinner to the end. Considering that the dinner started at 8pm [plus plus plus] and ended at 11, she have consumed 9 cigarettes in 3 hours. This makes an average of 1 cigarette per 20 minutes! I bet she knows the banes of the cigarette by now, but I guess she just cannot kick this habit [and is seriously addicted!]. The poor me sitting back to back have to suffer these noxious vapours emitted from both her little white stick and her nose [the vile thoughts!].

One more bad point about my seat. The horrible substitution of a speaker with a loudspeaker!

The kind used to ring sirens and warn people to get away. The kind used by a speaker to address a BIG group of people. The kind that compromises sound quality for volume.

Facing directly at me.

This made me resort to tearing the piece of paper available and stuffing it into my right ear [The right ear faces the hailer when I look at the stage, not that there is much interesting to look at].

Before the dinner/auction, they played hokkien oldies, but the remixed kind where a pulsating heartbeat goes on and on throughout all obviously different 18 artistes singing different songs 'smartly' strung together [what the fans call megamix]. During the dinner/auction itself, a gentleman [who goes "halo??!" whenever he picks up the mike] would auctions items proudly displayed onstage.
Most of them are household appliances, but there's also the famous "Oh Kim" [black gold a.k.a. charcoal] and a hamper of oranges that were both auctioned for many times the cost price.

The purpose of this auction [and many others] is charity. For what organisation I am not too sure but I am quite sure that a big part of it goes to the temple that organised this [temple building fund]. Traditions shall be traditions.

On the topic of food, I have this disgusting habit of eating at my computer. Yes at the risk of particles dropping into gaps in between the keys, an oily mouse, splatters on the monitor etc. None of these have happened yet except for the food in the keyboard part. I swear that there are a few times when I know some morsels dropped but I can never find on the floor [dissappearing without a trace?]. I'll clean out the keyboard when I am free. I don't want the one or two ants that I have actually seen crawling around my CPU to summon the whole nest to my computer!

Eating at the computer with the pig and the webcam staring.

I do not always eat at the computer though. It is only at times when I am watching anime, or some other blogs worth reading that I do so.

On the issue of anime, I got BLEACHED!!!!!
So addicted I was that I watched all episodes to the most recent one [#47] all within a week and a few days [inclusive of time spent downloading it and attending lessons]. The last series that got me so addicted was probably Kindaichi.




What Bleach Character Are You?


Hosted by theOtaku.com: Anime. Done right.


I would say anime is my childhood dream come true! So much more anime waiting for me to watch, so much more manga waiting for me to read. HAHA!

Note: the 28 km walk [orienteering wannabe] is still on! Though I am still trying to string together a few more interesting places to visit.

A good camera and a new bike would help greatly! Haha!

Later!
