Was having dinner with relatives last night and I got attacked by a stray cat! Cats are incredibly pretentious. I'm not kidding. They act all cute and innocent, then they'll suddenly go nuts and ambush you. I couldn't even eat in peace. The cat was literally stalking me the whole night while I was in the restaurant. In the end it got so full of itself and it took over my chair. Thanks to that I had to stand for about 15 minutes.
Oh, Mix FM played FYI today. I got so happy and I virtually shouted in the car. As usual, my mom gave me a big swt look and continued driving and also as usual, she took the chance to annoy me by purposely saying Yuutada instead of Ootada. Anyways I didn't expect them to play that song.
Started playing FFI today since I've already finished GTA CTW. Such beautiful music and the so called 8 bit characters look damn adorable. Hopefully I won't get addicted since I need to finish 3 4 assignments by this week. Oh Kami-sama.
Much has been happening recently. Had 2 practical programming assessments immediately the week after mid terms; thus, no time for me to even take a break. Dear lecturers were right when they said semester 2 is actually a run in the park. Fortunately I did not take Moral. Else it would be a sprint in the park.
Something must have fallen on my dad's head last Sunday because he finally helped me to drill the holes for the curtain bars and pin up board. I'm actually loving how the black, red and white blend together so perfectly, especially when my room is green in color. In other words, the bond between me and my bedroom is getting stronger. Heck, what comes out of my mouth these days is getting weirder. I wonder why. Must be excessive consumption of caffeine.
Found out something funny from Mey today. Apparently a few of my college friends on my MSN contact list think that I'm the person in the display picture that I use. They even said I look cute in the picture. I LOL-ed badly. Seriously. It's really comical but then again it's a tad depressing. Shows how much people pay attention to my face. They can't even differentiate the features on my face. *inserts crying emoticon* Guess I'll change my display picture to something which looks more celebrity-like.
Despite the shitload of assignments given, I still have time to catch up with the latest PSP games. For instance, GTA : China Town Wars. Good Lord, I utterly adore this game. I'm addicted to it. The old school top down camera view is wonderful! I don't comprehend people who thinks that just because the camera view is top down, the graphics are 2-D. How dense. The retro camera view makes the game so much enjoyable. There are so many mini games or side missions to be done including drugs dealing. Talk about the immensely 'good' influence that video games have on children these days. The best part of this game is-it revolves around chinese people. Hell yeah, asians rock. I'm so glad Rockstar decided to make this game. Chinese people can really kick ass. There's even a radio station which plays traditional chinese music which are played using instruments like Gu Zheng.
To let our hair down after mid terms, Eric and I went to watch (3D) Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Unfortunately a few people were too busy to join us *coughs*coughs*. Great movie indeed! How can you actually hate a movie which revolves around food? (Especially when they look as if they fall in front of you!) Okay, maybe not so much around food but you still get to see an influx of food throughout the movie. Cheeseburgers, eggs, bacons, toasts, sausages, ice-cream, gummy bears, jelly beans, steaks, pizzas, meatballs, spaghetti and JELLY and Sardines of course. I was a tad disappointed because there aren't many meatballs after all. Meatballs only came down during the second half of the movie, and they're gigantic. There is of course a moral value behind this food story thing, which I find kinda okay, maybe it's redundant but still okay. If someone were to ask me the best food in the movie, I'd say the JELLO land! I'd die from happiness if I lived there. Die from obesity as well since I'll be consuming jelly every day. Quite a nice way to die ey? 2 awesome CGI movies will be coming soon during these 2 months; namely, Astro Boy and Avatar. Those two are must watch and I hope they don't screw up Astro Boy since it's a classic! It'd be a shame if they do so. I'm already spotting many Astro Boy merchandises in One U.
And before I forget, something funny happened during the first day of mid terms. Eric and I were sitting beside each other but with an unused PC in between us because that's how it should be during examinations. All of a sudden, the lecturer asked us not so sit together lest we will argue in the middle of the exam. I was like, uh, okay... do you think we're that immature to suddenly argue and throw insults at each other in the middle of an exam? Lecturers nowadays can be so funny.
I've also managed to get my hands on an "okay" qualtiy version of Persona Music Live. It's fucking amazing. Seriously. I kept getting goosebumps throughout the whole video except for one song by Nana Kitaide which was extremely disastrous. She sings worse than me so you can kinda get the idea how terrible she is. As if that's not enough to make me go EWW, she was wearing some kinda pyjamas-like attire with lace! To be more precise, it actually looks like a night gown! Let's not digress from the awesomeness of the video per se. It was an electrifying experience seeing the sound producer/composer of the SMT series rocking on his guitar for practically 2 hours. The other bands members are pretty good too. To my surprise, all the female vocalists did really well except for Nana. (boo to her even though she has a quite an okay face) All the songs sound exactly like what I've heard when I'm inside the game except that they made a lot of improvisations, which means more piano, saxophone and guitar solos! Now if only I can find the original DVD for this in Malaysia. Checked on YesAsia and it costs around RM 175++.
Anyhow I was looking forward to a laid back Sunday where I can just spend my whole afternoon finishing my games and playing the guitar. Unfortunately my parents just love going out on weekends. This can be pretty annoying when you already have everything planned beforehand so I guess this will just be another boring Sunday. Go out and look at the people. Immensely huge crowds making noise, colliding against each other as if the words hygiene and mannerism don't exist at all in their damn vocabulary.
Forsook my blog for at least 2 weeks if I'm not wrong. Well, I was too caught up in watching a few Yuri series such as Kannazuki no Miko and Aoi Hana (both worth checking out because they're the best Yuri I've watched so far, lol) and also playing SMT : Persona for the PSP. It's basically a remake of Persona : Revelations which was released years ago on the PSX platform. Old school dark JRPG! I'm loving the game so much. It has 4 endings, simply amazing. The best way to waste hours of my life away. Actually, I'm kinda tempted to get the original version since it comes with the soundtrack as well and since Shoji Meguro is one of my favorite video game composers, I wouldn't mind having the original OST but then again P3P will be coming out next year. Maybe I should save my money for that instead because I'm pretty damn sure P3P will be fucking epic. STOKED.
Mid term exams are this week, on Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Notice the break between Monday and Thursday? Not that I'm complaining about it but I think it's a tad weird. This might encourage some students to slack rather than study. It's hard to focus on studies for such a long period of time. And I screwed up C together. Have got to make sure I don't do the same for Visual Basic. Depression awaits me if something similar happens again. I've just realized today that I can get affected by exams. Maybe times has changed or maybe I was like that all along. Sometimes I don't give a damn even if my results are incredibly ugly looking but sometimes I end up getting super troubled by my results even though they are not very bad. Weird. OR maybe I'm really getting weirder each day. Some sort of phase?
Speaking of which, I've also been quite inspired lately to try coming up with my own acoustic renditions of my favorite Utada songs. Weak attempts but I'm sure something will come out of this soon, hopefully. It's a frustrating, (yet) satisfying process since I know nothing about family chords. Someone should just force me to take music theory, that'll make my life much easier.
Oh, someone's birthday is just around the corner! LEST I forget to wish her, which sounds kinda infeasible since there's a huge reminder in the cbox, I'll wish her first. Happy Birthday CHICA or PRINCESS or HOTTIE or whatever name you wanna name yourself k? And uh, cash? No I don't have any, I don't think I'll be able to contribute to your *coughs*...franchise idea if you're still into it, which I doubt so *coughs*.
I'm off to watch some amazing videos of PERSONA LIVE MUSIC on youtube.
Just had to share this. I'd be in seventh heaven if my fridge was like this throughout the year.
It has been really tiring since Raya holidays and it'll not be any better this week since there will be another damn replacement on Saturday. Replacements are okay but why must they save cost by switching off the air conditioners in the corridors and labs? Utterly farcical. Hotness leads to less comfort and less comfort leads to loss of attention. Cheap skate.
Mom was watching I Wanna Be a Model on tv8 and I stopped mopping the floor because something, no, someone caught my attention. There was this local boy band performing. To my horror, they look like an unsophisticated version of Big Bang. You know, those tight skinny jeans, geeky glasses and of course let's not forget the oversized sneakers. I don't know what brand BB wears because I'm not really a huge fan of them but I'm 101% sure this local boyband (which goes by the name FRIENDZ) wears Supra sneakers. Supra shoes are actually really nice shoes per se. These boys wearing those Supra kinda undermined the greatness of the shoes. Not only they imitated BB's looks but I was able to spot many similar dance moves. The only major difference is that their dance moves weren't synchronized at all! Worse, they kept hitting flat notes. It's either flat notes or the lyrics can't be heard because they can't hit the required key at all. To sum it all up, they were struggling and not many people clapped in the end.
Coincidentally, I saw a similar boyband performing at Sungai Wang today. They were serenading the crowd with "When You Say Nothing at All" by Ronan Keating. It was so obvious that they were too, struggling with the performance. One of the boys actually sang "the true in your eyes" instead of "the truth in your eyes". When you're an amateur performer and also when you're poor at speaking a certain language, why not just stick to your mother tongue? That'd make you look better, and hopefully sound better as well.
Geez, musicians nowadays consist of such people. If that's the case, can I be a musician too? *squeals*
End of September draws near and this is the time of the year where most of my friends will be celebrating their birthday. I actually have a confession to make. Crystal has really really poor memory when it comes to birth dates so if I've forgotten yours, please do forgive me. Seriously it's just something that can't be helped. Last time it wasn't this bad because Friendster has birthday reminders. Unfortunately, I do not log in Friendster anymore; thus, I can't remember the birth dates of you guys out there. The only person's birthday I can remember is my mom's. As if it's not embarrassing enough, two days ago, I asked my friend whether her birthday was on that day itself. (lol) Ever since then, I realized I suck at remembering dates because I remembered she told me her birth date a few weeks back.
