Mr President

Sadly, I won't be talking about Shizuku Tsukishima in this post. Yet. Anyway, feel free to visit my secondary blog, Mutsukabezaka (or Thus Spoke Wilson Liew, Mutsukabezaka in full) and spread news about it. It is best viewed with Firefox. So that's quite a bad thing as I am using Opera and I can't see my own BG. Oh well. What matters most isn't me but my viewers anyway. As a warning, do not use Internet Explorer to visit Mutsukabezaka (from now on I will just refer to it as MKBK) ... using Sharon as my lab rat, turned out that NOTHING can be seen. Kevin's test with it turned out positive with his Firefox. I am yet to try it out with Safari. My phone has it, but maybe 
another time. Soon I will start pumping more works of mine onto MKBK for public reading. By the way, unless you have a writing blog yourself, don't bother asking me to link you on MKBK ... I will only link writing blogs, but feel free to link your own blog to MKBK ^_^! Blogs of any type other than writing will only be linked at LGI. Period.

Let's go all-out with manga! I will hereby prove the supreme greatness of ... manga (specifically, the JJBA series).



I think, I can relate to Bucciarati's (Stand: Sticky Fingers) resolution during his battle with Diavolo (Stand: King Crimson). I for one with a family complex would obviously burst when I see a father who is trying to kill his own child. Trash like that doesn't deserve to live. Trish has done nothing wrong, she's never even seen her father before, and yet tried to 
like him. However ...



The fight is seriously isn't in Bucciarati's favor. Though he's quite impressive to hold out long enough to survive an encounter with the arc's main antagonist. As you can see (corny words coming right up ... you have been warned), manga allows us to learn the needs of sacrifice, responsibility, et cetera. Aye. By the way, the thing within Bucciarati's suit isn't a bra or something. To be frank I thought it was some female undergarment myself. 
But then again Bucciarati is a male and he never acts the least bit flamboyant ... so I suppose it's something else. His suit's design maybe based on sperms though, I'm not sure. Though I do like Araki-sensei's fashion tastes. Really unique, hip and retro.



Aye, this is Arc 6 of JJBA - Stone Ocean. The battle at that time was a 3-on-1, namely Jolyne, Hermes and Emporio VS Rykiel (Stands, respectively: Stone Free, Kiss, Burning Down The House, Sky High). Hermes with her finger rotting (as shown above) isn't nothing compared to Emporio urinating blood. Basically, Rykiel's Stand, Sky High can control these creatures known as rods/skyfishes, creatures little known to mankind capable of moving at 200 km/h. These creatures feed on heat, so Rykiel directed them to feed on a particular spot of the protagonists' bodies, making them very susceptible to ailments. In Emporio's case, he assaulted the kidney, disrupting the blood circulation to interfere with the urinal stream. With Jolyne, he attacked her hypothalamus, resulting in blurred vision. Rykiel's most fatal move is to attack the neck, as if it loses all heat, same goes with the brain, and the victim will drop dead instantaneously. Of course, fortunately he did not manage to do this. As a further explanation:



Yeah, at first glance, most people will think of what Araki's perception of rods is modelled after. Anyways, forget that. The main thing here is to see how informative manga is. Rather than playing stupid online games (for mostly stupid people, no offence) which so far none has proven to have gameplay that isn't repetitive, job classes that AREN'T cliched, quests that AREN'T stereotyped, servers that AREN'T cramped up with stupid people ... and much more 
stupidities that I cannot draw the slightest scent of profit from. Boo. BOO! So I suggested researching these rods/skyfishes for our class's Science Fair, but since we can't bring a model of it into school, Ms Jade rejected the idea. So my group went with the ideas of making a makeshift volcano and making invisible ink instead. The latter was obviously more interesting. Derrick's group did something on clouds (resulted in thin films of vapor instead), Dawn's on sanitary pads (Whisper's best), Jocelyn's on chemical explosions and whirlpools (quite disappointing actually, despite me expecting their projects to be the most interest-piqueing) and finally Jack's on weight support (sadly I didn't witness them carry it out). Overall, our Science 'Fair' wasn't much. Tsk tsk tsk. I wish I study in Japan. Japan doesn't have Willie, but I suppose that's okay. I could've been born to a better father in Japan that I don't need a dream father anymore. Nyohoho (guess whose trademark laugh this is ...).



Wow, if only I'm like Shujin/Takagi. Saying 'no' directly to a teacher's command. Hot damn, that's cool. It's time for roleplaying. Sento kaishin!

- Scene 1 -
Cammy: "Wilson, what have you been doing last night? Wake up!"
Wilson: "No."
Jocelyn: "Eee, Wilson's scary."
- Scene 2 -
Siti: "Eh, pagi-pagi ni pun dah mengantuk. Bangun!"
Wilson: "Tidak mahu."
Siti: *twists Wilson's ear*

Eh ... I still prefer Cammy all the way. As you can see, I'm too lazy to create scenes with other teachers. But I do not mind if it's a game of ..... RATE! THAT! TEACHER! Anyways, it IS the end of the year. Though this will be a no dicer, if it reaches the ears of the staff room committee. Boo. Let's commence.

1st Round: Joey Tan (Homeroom Teacher) VS Camillus Choo (Homeroom Teacher)
I'll give this one a draw, kuma! Ms Joey gives us the '5 Questions' privilege, tells stories and plays games at the end of the school year, however she loses huge chunks of points with the extreme level of punishments (which I never received, thankfully) and tough pop tests. Camillus loses a lot of points himself by garnering plenty of student 
hate (which thankfully is diminishing ... gradually) throughout the year for being such a jerk (collected opinion of 2A students ... exclude me please, thank you very much), but I tossed a plenty of positive points in his tally because English is my fav subject, he shows us a lot of movies (most importantly, introduced us to Mind Your 
Language) and generally he's quite nice to me. Though yeah, he's quite the stingy one with marks. Boo.

2nd Round: Elaine Chung (English) VS Camillus Choo (English)
Ms Elaine wins through the sheer fact that many different incarnations of her are brought into my stories. Added to the fact she's kawaii, pretty and hawt. Though she could have given less homework. But she has a better taste for writing IMO, I got 1st with writing when she was teaching. Not to forget that Elaine is a pretty sweet name.

3rd Round: Joey Tan (BM) VS Siti Aishah (BM)
Ms Joey beats Ms Siti easily ... her popularity among students is quite an obvious thing. Also, she doesn't suffer from the same thing that ails the latter ... having contant mood swings (CMS). CMS isn't fun at all, it's so annoying and gets on my nerves so much that the teacher isn't handling his/her job professionally. Fret somewhere else please, don't spread the virus of moodiness. Seriously, I fall asleep most of the time she has her CMS.

4th Round: Kenny Leong (Maths) VS Emily Jong (Maths)
Mr Kenny is more fun! He's popular among the students (girls especially) and is very nice to everyone. Emily Jong wasn't too bad for the first few weeks, then she started changing for the worse, with CMS and all. Once during the Merdeka practice, she was sulking over me not telling her that I was over at the principal's office. Since I was already in the PRINCIPAL's office, shouldn't that mean that I am in a Safe Zone with permission!? Why the f*** should I go tell you when I've already asked the DIRECTOR AND PRINCIPAL and I am in a place where no car can hit me, no murderer can kill me and most importantly, no moody teacher can bore me!? And I've even arranged everything by asking Sharon to go tell her about that; with the extra service that she can call me whenever I'm needed, because after the previous few practices, I was so frustrated. Being pushed around, bickered at, doing nothing at all and wasting the time of my life. So it is so natural and wise of me to insted choose to read Tokyo Cancelled than slaving around in the hot humid hall doing virtually nothing. There. I've said it. She's quite hysterical with laughing too, which made me recall of a certain freak ... *cough* Amy Tan *cough* the b****, not the writer *cough*. The other day when we were watching Mind Your Language in the Lecture Theatre, she let out an extremely high-pitched, shrill laugh akin to that of a witch's. I was actually convinced it was a witch ... I 
even thought that we are finally leaving the uber boring land of reality into a new fantasy world with witches and wizards. Bummer, it's just Miss Emily.

4th Round: Jade of 2007 (Science) VS Jade of 2008 (Science)
Draw. I can hardly notice a change. I've even forgotten the look of Ms Jade in long hair, I can't even begin to compare the two through looks. Though I think I'll prefer the long hair.

5th Round: Joseph Mong (PE) VS Anthony Goh (PE)
Big-time draw. Both are as epic. No more words.

6th Round: Nelson Tan (IT) VS Arthur Wong (IT)
I'd personally prefer the former. He's nicer, more tolerant, fair and wasn't too strict on us. Arthur Wong prefers girls. That makes him a normal man but not a normal teacher. Also, IIRC it was him who suggested for IT to be in the SPM public exam.

7th Round: Joanna Wee (Geography) VS Normi Sawawi (Geography)
It's a tie between the two dullards.

8th Round: Henry Wong (History) VS Lim Cher Kun (History)
Ms Lim beats Mr Wong hands-down ... duh. She's got flair, consistency, reliability and efficiency in her teaching that overshadows the capabilities of Mr Wong. Not to forget, she's funny, espcially with her practice of self-flattery.

9th Round: Chai Fook Vui of 2007 (Art) VS Chai Fook Vui of 2008 (Art)
Virtually no noticeable difference. So he's kinda plain and all, but at least he isn't one of those annoying teachers.

10th Round: Bibiana Tang & Co (Business & Commerce) VS Joanna Wee 
(Business & Commerce)

The first one please. Actually ... personally I'd prefer Ms Lina, who replaced Ms Joanna for a brief period this year. She's nice, patient, pretty and generally better with teaching. One thing for sure is she doesn't have CMS. Ms Joanna likes to scream (and the scream is awful) and looks worse. The other boys 
also prefer Lina because of this reason, though others say it's because she has big breasts. I never really notice breast sizes unless they're so big you just can't NOT see it ... like Raven-Symone's. That's just plain freaky. Why are big breasts so ... attractive (to other boys) anyway? So, let's say that there's a girl who has super gargantuan boobs but her face is as fugly as sin, has a bitchy persona, and is uber phat. So, um, that's likeable? Scary. Boobs = NOT everything of a woman. If you read the manga Asklepios, the 3rd Chapter (A Woman's Value) is supposed to teach readers that breasts aren't all there is to a woman. Grow up, boys/pervs.

11th Round: Zurainy Ehsan (Civics) VS Emily Jong (Civics)
The first one! Her classes are more fun, she's really into the subject and though she gives plenty of notes and work, I think she's far better in teaching Civics. On the other hand, Ms Emily treats Civics lightly as a filler subject. I don't think she's even trained for it. I bet the authorities just like, dumped the job on her, and left her to do it without training. For notes, we just copy stuff from our textbook. That's it. We just copy, and sometimes she gives us extra notes to paste into our notebook. She never actually teaches the subject. Then why does she even bother to take up the subject!? Seriously, she doesn't pitch in the slightest bit of effort. Political stuff are toughies to comprehend to begin with, yet she doesn't even try to make it easier to absorb. Tch tch tch. *wags finger, Muhammed Abdul-style*

I guess ... that's all?

Anyway, about a week ago I burned a new CD! Tracks, in order:
1. Aqua - Barbie Girl
2. Aural Vampire - Economical Animal
3. Coldplay - The Scientist
4. Coldplay - Viva La Vida
5. EXILE - Summer Time Love
6. L'arc en Ciel - Lost Heaven
7. Newboys - Live In Stereo
8. Simple Plan - Grow Up
9. Simple Plan - Shut Up
10. Jump 5 - Spinning Around
11. My Neighbour Totoro - The Path of Wind
12. Smash Mouth - Pacific Coast Party
13. Spice Girls - Wannabe
I like the first four most. The others were fairly lackluster, except #10, #11 and #13. The previous CD was better IMO. Anyway, talking about music, these days I've been trying out quite a few minor singers/bands. First off we have Norah Jones, whom I first saw in a magazine. The mag branded her as 'Jazz Diva From NY' ... so being a jazz fan myself, I was quite titillated. Sadly, I find her songs dull and monotonous. Good lyrics are crap when paired with crappy music. The music is so low and has nearly no beat to it at all. Despite being jazz, it shouldn't be THAT quiet. What a waste of the good voice and pretty face. Then I tried out a few indie bands, starting from The Ting Tings. They're awesome. I like the vocalist's voice and the music. Now I hum along with Shut Up And Let Me Go nearly everywhere ... though Great DJ isn't bad itself. After that, I received my first dose of Rilo Kiley with the song Bulletproof. Later I got myself two songs of theirs which are really stellar ... Silver Lining and Under The Blacklight. The latter gave me a good load of 
Steambot Chronicles nostalgia. Rilo Kiley's music is a must-try for the modern ear. The other day I saw Sara Bareilles on TV with her Love Song MV. It was so good I just had to download it. It wasn't a disappointment at all, though I believe I'm quite slow to just know about it now. Well, I've really been delaying this update, so I'll just speed through the rest. Try out DJ Tiesto's Insomnia, Jack Johnson's Better Together, Black Kids' Listen To Your Body Tonight, Kate Nash's Pumpkin Soup and Amy Pearson's Don't Miss You. They say Amy Pearson is the next Mariah Carey, and yeah, I love her raspy voice. By the way, there's a song called Willie. Serious. I like it. It's by Cat Power, a song about a couple - Willie Deadwilder and Rebecca.

Next up: E-gallery.

Take Me Home, Concrete Road

Badadadadum ..... I won't be crazy over the passing of exams ... as you can see with most other bloggers. Not
like I want to stray away from the stereotypical crowd, I just seriously think that things are as boring as ever. And I didn't actually studied at all during the exams. My results are pretty decent, so I guess if I studied I
might have aced everyone (Except PE, heh). But I can't. I just get all drowsy and sleepy the moment I start revising.

I don't know if there's actually anything interesting these days. Currently, my life is pregnant with boredom. I think it's about to deliver though, so I guess I can wait ... I'll just spend my days reading ... more reading ... exercising ... MOAR exercising ... Sorry if I'll infect you with my ennui. My weight hardly decreased ... *sigh* I'd be so happy if I even manage to get to James's level ... I'm too lazy to go through what new stuff I learned in swimming ... boo ... I guess I am just losing the mood. Why can't anything EXTRAORDINARY happen!? Let's see a few that could just get me so pumped up!
1. An earthquake hits! This is so impossible! If it does then it'll be like a real-life
Disaster Report!
2. My idol celebrating my 14th birthday with me! That's ... fantastic!
3. A tsunami strikes! I save Willie Liew first, run later. Damn, I doubt that I'm the one saving him.
4. This world is fake! The real world is actually like something out of a RPG! Sadly, it's not!
5. I have the power of my imagined Stand, Aqua Timez!
6. I won a trip to Japan! I'd go so crazy ... I don't know if I'd even be able to get on the plane ...
7. Willie Liew turns out to be my biological father! That's like so superawesomeWOW!
Eh, what am I ranting about?

Williew used to sound weird. But over the course of time, everyone basically got used to it ... and now it sounds just like any other name! Wi-liu. Doesn't strike me as strange anymore. If there's Willia, why not Williew? It's just like when I first played Tales of Legendia. Senel is a name so unorthodox, I thought it sounded dumb. Then I guess I kind of like it. Talking about names ... I have to admit, I don't really like the name Willie. When it is mentioned, people just automatically perceived the name as being gay. Not like I think that way as well, it's just that the name sounds ... weak. In a way. I've never really thought about my own name though. Wilson. Uh ... I guess it ain't that bad. In my opinion it sounds better than Willie. Though having an English name is better than nothing. I'll pick up the names of my classmates that I like. Actually I only find some of the girls' names stand out. Dawn, Jocelyn, ... yeah, I guess that's about it. The others are fairly common. For teachers, me liketh ... none. Aww booooo (Maybe it's just me, but I'm starting to speak like Anise Tatlin ... scary). Though I guess Camillus is a pretty rare one. But it doesn't create quite the smooth resonance I like with names such as Dawn's. IMO, the 'Cam' in front ruined it. Despite having a not-so-favorable name himself, Mr Willie sure knows how to name his girl. Amber Liew. Eh, not bad. Though I'd prefer Ember Liew, though 'A' seems more feminine than 'E'. Mainly because I'd prefer a daughter not associated with insects ... fire is probably better. Perhaps she may even grow into someone hawt! Well, it seems fairly likely, given the genes ... but for the (possible) next child I think my idol should dispose of the excess fat. As you can see, Dawn, I don't get 
writer's block mainly because I can easily draw something new to write about from something I am already writing. I wonder if Vikutoria-chan bears this capability as well. Oh yeah, the international 11-year-old novelist is called Xygarathma Lebibi. I am yet to read her book but I think I should pick it up quick ... IIRC there are very few copies left in MPH. It's very thin though, probably even thinner than Victoria's kids' books, and the font size is like ... whoa, big Papyrus! And she fills up a lot of space with her own illustrations ... however, seriously, her words and story are deep. 
I flipped through a few pages while in MPH ... and no doubt, Lebibi-chan is an unpolished gemstone (I'd be glad to polish it)! I'd be glad to read Victoria's works and rank her level, however I don't see her books anywhere at all ... while Lebibi-chan even has a sign with a headshot of her in MPH. If Victoria's jealous, she can always blame LimKokWing University for publishing it here! Leave me out of the catfight, I'd rather stay back to a cozy duvet and read Haruki Murakami's books! They're like ... sublime. They're full of subtle, enticing metaphors. Japan ... is totally amazing. It slams the world in its face with the animation 
and video game industry, but I seriously never thought they'd reign supreme (who knows?) in the literature field as well. I guess that's no surprise. Japan is win! Whoa ... this paragraph ... from names to books! *hollering to Thomas Alva Edison in who-knows-whichever-corner-in-the-depths-of-the-Netherworld* Inspiration isn't just 1%!

Whoa, thank goodness we actually got the school magazine today! Or else it'd really tarnish the reputation of Chrono Lodge for reporting false news ... IMO, I like the cover design more than last years. Scrapbook designs FTW! I didn't win a single thing ... talk about ... nevermind ... however I must comment ... Mr Willie sure looks awesome in that tux ... wait, who DOESN'T look impressive in a tux? Formal clothes have always been my favorite! They have the magical power to instantly spice up the hawtness and sexiness factors, unless you are yet to realize this common fact. Also, after observing over and over, I seriously CANNOT see how people can argue 
about my role model being the best-looking male teacher out of all 4 branches of Lodge schools. Ranked second is Mr Kenny ... eh, then again, it's not like there's much choice ... aside from Willie and Kenny the others are pretty much ... hmm, my blog prefers to avoid sensitive things *thumbs up*! Mr Kenny is too young to be a good father, IMO. Experience is a both a necessity and a commodity in this matter! Added to the fact he's too skinny and lanky ... boo, Janna. The school magazine still doesn't show English essays by Secondary students though. How unfair ... right, not like I am the Champion again this year. So I don't really care. Darn, I really wished for once I can be reigning champion in something at the very least. This year I didn't even net myself Consolation for Essay Comp.! Yosh, hopefully next year I can take back my throne from Daniel's hands. He had already won too many prizes anyway. Big deal, the Champion prize of the English Essay Comp. ... darn, I seem like some jealous freak ... I mean it shouldn't matte rmuch to him to just let go of this one thing. Oops, that would be an unfair competition. Guess I will just have to strive harder to prove my mettle to him ... maybe it's just me, but he's always been putting up that intimidating look in his eyes ... doesn't he realise it's just ... absurd? It was since we first me
t ... oww, city people are so weird ... man, whatever. Well, not like Victoria won anything either. The good thing for her is that she got one special exclusive page featuring her 
as the star. Whoa. Even Erika Kong did not get such a thing. *imitating Joseph Joestar* Tch! Tch! Tch! *wags finger* Just you see, I'd be like Shizuku Tsukishima, and yes ... me in my own page! The enjoyment! And I'd make it a page worth splurging ink and time and sinews of war on. Shizuku-chan, you really motivated me! To all readers confused as to what I am talking about, I will post about it in my next update.

My class is comprised of several 'groups' of people. My classmates are very nicely grouped together into a few categories.
The Backstreet Boys - Bunch of stereotypical teenage boys on the roll for online games and porn.
The Spice Girls - Bunch of modernized girls crazy with celebs, fashion and all the elite stuff.
The Dancing Queens - Bunch of people who stays back and gossip and dance too much.
The Michaels Learning To Rock - Bunch of aspiring musicians with all the kewl instruments and attend music classes.
The My Chemical Romances - Bunch of boys more hooked up with cameras and techno gizmoes than girls.
The Outkasts - People who just don't quite fit ... unique in their own way.
The Read-Or-Dies - Bunch of bookworms and hardcore students.
The Mirai Nikkis - Bunch of people involved in the blogging world.
The Newsboys - Bunch of people too free to spout out everything good about their religion.
The Aural Vampires - Bunch of wannabe emos.
Well, I am most glad that our class doesn't have ice queens or the like. I am categorised sporadically myself. Let's look into their daily vocabulary!
The Backstreet Boys - 'n00b', 'pro', 'suck', 'gay', 'boobs', 'dick', 'cock', 'fuck', 'shit', 'porn'
The Spice Girls - 'Ewwwww', 'kewt', 'hawt', 'sexay, 'handsome', 'yucks', 'ugh', '*squealing*'
The Dancing Queens - Normal vocabulary.
The Michaels Learning To Rock - 'guitar', 'piano', 'grade', 'pick', 'strum', 'drum', 'Lepo'
The My Chemical Romances - 'lens', 'flash', 'zoom', 'Alpha', 'Sony', 'Nikon', 'Canon', 'Photoshop'
The Outkasts - Depends on person.
The Read-Or-Dies - 'Twilight', 'Popular', 'library', 'notes', 'marks', 'exam', 'study', 'not free'
The Mirai Nikkis - 'blog', 'update', 'pictures', 'header', 'layout', 'lazy update', 'when u update'
The Newsboys - 'Jesus', 'bible', 'church', 'god', 'commandment', '*zealot's gibbering*'
The Aural Vampires - '*moaning*', '*groaning*', 'life is so boring ...', 'i wanna die ...', 'kill meh ...'
2A is a fun class!

I need my freaking sleep. It's 5 a.m. in the morning!

Manhattan Transfer

Chilli whined about the lack of pictures. So I was like, "Fine, whatever." Well, here you go, Chilli. The first 2 pics were taken in Chilli's house.

As you can see, on the left is Chilli, center is me.

Chilli's house's mini-penthouse. Jack snapped this picture.

News Flash

They don't even show elementary kids mercy. So Pak Lah says that there is much to learn from History. Yeah. Right. World History. Not MALAYSIAN History. It is basically showing us how stupid our people were back then. Rebelling when the British only built a police station for the sake of preserving justice. If you think that is patriotism, I think that's idiocy. In Sharon's opinion, if only they did not drive the British away, perhaps our country would be far more modern than it is now. Idiots are supposed to give way to the intelligent. Unless the so-called 'heroes' can prove themselves as not idiots. They aren't brave. They aren't patriotic. They clearly are uneducated, have nothing else to do, do not comprehend the meaning of futility and the hope for a better future. As you can see, Parameswara could've nicely stayed in Temasik, but being too power-hungry, he chose to slay Temagi, leading to yet another group hungry for his life. All the historical figures we are supposed to take as role models in Malaysian history are stubborn, idiotic, power-hungry, evil and all are getting ahead of themselves. As you can see, the government of Malacca eventually went corrupt, and the leaders, having no will of their own, fell to the words of merchants and went against the Portugeuse, leading to their own defeat. Over these two years, I've read more and more of their stupidity, I just can't help but flame the hell out of Malaysian history when I saw the above article in NST. I hope the next generation of leaders in our country will at the very least switch Malaysian history to Malaysian MYTHOLOGY. It would be so much more meaningful.

Well, if it isn't ridiculous, then I don't know what is. So a random (pardon me) Bollywood actor will be getting the appellation of a Datuk? Are the Malacca authorities actually serious? Basically, Shahrukh Khan-san acted in a film set in Malacca from way back who-knows-when. Right. And apparently he is the source of the ever-increasing surge of tourists over the years. Is he really the cause? Has a survey already got carried out (I did not research this)? Would people visit a place just because of an actor? What, are they supposed to be able to absorb essences of their fav actor somehow? What about the director? The producer? Especially the producer. If not for whoever the producer is, chances of the movie even existing is nigh no dice. Okay. So their excuse is that SRK boosted the economy given the loads of tourists. Has he even been proven to be the main factor of the tourism boom? They'd better off granting Mr Gerald Lee a datukship considering the number of Best Educator awards he had won. So all those were just collected opinions from people. IMHO, screw the whole thing. Why should we care who gets the title? We don't get any losses. Geez, the whole nation creating an uproar over something like this. Adults. Most of them are probably just jealous. Seriously, I don't care if it's Shahrukh Khan or Khan Shahrukh or King Khan or SRK or PCK who gets a datukship. All that matters is that I'm still living, not dying from envy.

Well, it's nearly 4 a.m., so yeah, I need my sleep. I don't get eyebags, no worries.

Jailhouse Rock

~ She's the prom queen, I'm in the marching band, she's the cheerleader, I still don't understand ~ Oh, nevermind me humming. We have just endured two successive waves of attacks in form of exam papers here in Lodge Secondary, Kuching. Currently our reports state that in two days time another wave of exam papers will strike for a total of 3 days. Till further notice, Wednesday will be the last time we have to face the surge ... all the way till next year (for my contemporaries, that is). Many have fallen in this great war, however I will last till the end. Or else why would I even bother to blog anymore?

My Science tuition teacher mentioned the other day that berries contain a lot of anti-oxidants. If you didn't know, it decreases the chances of getting cancer cells. I was really thrilled, as I am a self-certified berry-lover. Me liketh strawberries, blueberries, raspberries ... especially blueberries. I eat so many berries in a week, I doubt I'd get cancer. Hopefully. However if I don't get down to Wiri's size there's a high possibility I may get heart diseases. Which isn't a good thing. The teacher also said, that we can get cancer cells in every part of our body (duh) except for one part (un-duh) - the brain. The others were like, O_O" ... and one mentioned brain tumour. Surprisingly, the teacher managed to counter that. HE said that the so-called 'brain cancer' is actually cancer on the sides of the brain ... or something like that. Heck, I've forgotten. Eat berries! Eat pastries with berries! Eat jam that has berries! Also, as I'm a fan of
Yakitate! Japan, I've also known way earlier that blueberries are exceptionally good for the eye. No wonder I am Wilson 'Hawkeye' Liew, though I am no where as kewl as Hawkeye Mihawk from One Piece. That way, using blueberries in baking sports bread is really effective, like Gran Kayser's 'Blue Lagoon' sports bread that contains blueberry yogurt.

I wonder why a lot of people are obsessive about joining the Science stream for the senior years. Well, at least it has Biology I guess. Which is kewl. Still. Not having a Literature stream sucks. Government schools over in West M'sia have that option, while we from a really high-standard school lack it. Wait a sec, even two streams from KH are already absent. Sigh, why do I bother to complain? So, I carried my ass over to Mr Ling-a-ding-ding's office and asked him why the Literature stream does not exist for us to choose from. Instead, they are having another Science class next year. Also, I am sure our school's ACCOMPLISHED writer would love it too. Aww, don't you all just think she would? Actually I just discovered today that there's an INTERNATIONAL writer at age ELEVEN who hails from the MIDDLE EAST. Okay, so her debut novel is only as thick as VS's books, and has large prints of the Papyrus font. Still. Well, I better don't compare her with others too much. Anyway, my debut novel will not be that ... thin.
Back to the main point. So our principal replied by saying that we have had Literature for senior years before, but due to lack of people wanting Literature it was abolished from the syllabus. Yay for school democracy! Why don't they cancel KH then, considering the fact that NO ONE, not even earthbound spirits (if there are any in Lodge) is the least bit interested. Blah. They always use democracy the wrong way. Well, it's not like any of my suggestions are ever accepted. So yeah, I just strutted out of the office like it was no big deal. Not like I actually expected him to agree. Speaking about Mr Ling, he sure garnered a lot of student hate. Exclude me from this norm please, as I am too busy to deal with hating people other than my father. Anyway Mr Ling isn't even worth my hatred. He'd have to kill my dog. But I don't have one. I have plenty in Harvest Moon games and The Sims 2: Pets though. So, students are whining over petty reasons such as the new recess system ... I personally dislike it as well, however given my natural ability to adapt to new things easier and faster than others, I seriously could care less but just complain for not having fully air-conditioned school halls to compensate for not being able to enter class. Fat people rack up on heat very fast. And boy, do I hate sweat. Such a bother, getting all damp and humid without even doing anything. Also, he basically banned eating in any other place outside the school canteen. What? Was that decision supposed to be sensible? To be logical? Where's the logic? I don't see it. Wait, we never see logic. Okay, sure, he can ban the others, but ban ME as well? Why do I bother advicing others not to litter? Ooh, maybe I am like the 'disciplined' city people, who throw drumstick bones (ugh, what's so good about drumsticks!?) all over the place? I've been thinking that me, a freethinker and country boy is much more hygienic than city kids with religion. My cleanliness-conscience doesn't even come from idolizing Mr Willie. Okay, so maybe the city kids are disciplined, but just too blind to see rubbish bins. Hooray. I hate having to eat my breaktime snack in the hot, humid, crowded, noisy canteen. Crowds and noise are much scarier than watching horror films. Bugger. I've been eating beside the hall all the time yet I am yet to see myself making that spot a mess. Correct me if I'm wrong, prefects. Well, can't blame you prefects who are only doing your duty. I blame the authorities for being so insensitive. Grr.

Two days ago (Wednesday), there were a few of us discussing the differences between Jamaluddin and Andayu, main characters of the novels Limpahan Darah Di Sungai Semur and Timulak Kapal Perang respectively (both of them are far from interesting). I pitched in a point that IMHO was really sensible.
Me: " Okay, let's see ... Jamaluddin is a ranged fighter and Andayu is a healer, totally cliched video game standards. We can use that as a comparison right?"
Ms Siti: "O_O ... Hisy ..."
Jocelyn: " Wilson ah ... hai ..."
Me: "Was that wrong?"
Jocelyn: "Duh."
James: "Wilson is a gamer you know, Cikgu."
Ms Siti: "Yakah?"
Me: *shies away*
So this paragraph is dedicated totally to credit James for advertising me. Yay. Actually it was quite funny. I was going all serious with my point and they were reacting nonchalantly.

I remembered the discussion about Mr Willie. So, James was saying that they arm-wrestled before, and that Wiri-sensei's palm was very smooth. So I guess I have managed to achieved another thing on my path to becoming like my idol! Woohoo, my palms are VERY smooth, I was scared that Mr Willie's are rough and I'd have to do a lot of rough work to catch up. That's why I mentioned the being a Virgo thing later. I guess it was an impressive feat for my role model. Most of my male friends under the sign of Virgo are ... she-males, and yet my idol's masculine side is still more dominant. I will one day be as manly as him. Muahahaha ... hmm, perhaps I shouldn't give my readers a maniacal impression ... Despite my palms are very smooth, I am not a Virgo. I am a very proud Scorpio boy! Still, Scorpio is a horoscope under the alignment of Water, so I am a tad bit soft and passive compared to other boys. Also, returning to the point about Mr Willie giving female teachers a drive, I drew a good impression from his action instead! It proves that Daddy is generous and kind enough to splurge petrol on others! Fufufu, I've already achieved both aspects, so no worries. Concerning kindness, I am done trying to do good things in front of Willie. I will return to my normal self and just do good, Willie being present or not. It's seriously bothersome that he ALWAYS arrives late at the scene. From my observations, we two really share another trait ... we are kind of slow and not too consistent with punctuality. It really depresses me to say that Mr Willie ... is kinda slow, as you can see, 90% of the time, he arrived late for his lessons. This habit of his even drove his students to cease lining up outside class ... somehow I pity them and at the same time ridicule their impatience. Actually, IMHO, lining up outside class has always been ridiculous to begin with. But thanks to it I managed to record 80% of Mr Willie's schedule. Yeah, I know I'd make an awesome detective like Kindaichi or Q or Conan. I even wrote a detective essay in the finals (today). Actually my idol and me are linked by yet another trait ... this time a physical one. We are both ursine, as James testified. For this once I will explain what a word means. It means to have or resemble the characteristics of a bear. I also love animals from the Ursidae family, Winnie The Pooh, teddy bears, Pamela's bear, Teddiursa, Ursaring, all the Digimons that resemble bears and especially Kuma/Teddie of Persona 4. I fight best in the Tekken series when using either Kuma or Panda. I even developed a habit of ending my verbal sentences with Kuma. Kuma means bear, FYI. Practice of that habit had been quite lax lately, sadly.

Exams were okay. Hardly studied. Well, can't help it. Yesterday I went to buy anime DVDs after such a long break from animes (by long, I mean 3-5 years). Since I started attending Lodge, my spare time only allowed manga. I bought Pokemon Diamond & Pearl and a collection of Studio Ghibli's works at Tun Jugah's Popular. I also spent time in Hong Kuok 99 watching XBox 360 gameplay and went to the Food Court as well to savour a bowl of Tori Katsu Don (the Japanese stall there sells the best donburi, IMO better than Sushi King's) and a cup of Ocean Blue ... plus Blueberry Ice Kacang (shared with my mother) and Seaweed Rolls. That sure was a lot, but I was on the verge of fainting since I forgot to bring food to school. Actually, I left it in the car while rechecking the stuff I brought. Later I went to Boulevard (Kevin said Miri's Boulevard has an rollerblading arena ... however Jakarta's Taman Anggrek has an ice-skating ring ... which was seriously an awesome experience ... though my skills are now most likely to be rusty already, given the lack of practice and the weight gained since the last time I did ice-skating) and I bought Haruki Murakami's 'After Dark'. As you can see, Karen and Michael, it is evident that I, WILSON LIEW, am more carefree than DAWN BRITTANY JERAH. No offense, Dawn. It's just the way things are. when I finally reached home, I watched My Neighbour Totoro and that took up 2 hours. Then at 7 I watched Metamorphosis' final episode, taking another chunk off my allotted time. Only at 8 did I start revising IT and Geography, while listening to Aural Vampire music. FYI, it is a Japanese Electropop band, with slip-ins of darkwave, techno and synthpop. My favorite song of theirs is Economical Animal Superstar, or just Economical Animal. Really catchy. I rank Aural Vampire as the Japanese counterpart of Etro Anime (an electronica band hailing from The Big Apple) which has nothing to do with animes. Etro Anime actually means 'to be infinite in spirit' ... what language that is, I do not know. The two bands are more worthy to check out than political blogs. Also while half-heartedly revising, I was reading Diamond Is Unbreakable, King of Thorn and Kuroshitsuji (The Black Butler) on the Internet. Thankfully the subjects I revised didn't prove to be of much challenge at all, despite the many distractions in the course of revision. Today after school I went to Spring and bought 3 Yaiba tankobons and the last book in the Presents trilogy. At Spring I also met Janna and her friend while I was at Body Glove trying to find the present Dylan wants. Actually I suggested going over to the toy emporium, however my mother was persistent that Dylan wanted one of the big pencilbags rich kids use. Anyway, I've been to Spring a few times and the people I've met there are Daryl, Chilli, Kyc, Edbert, Derrick, Janna and Ms Lucilla Chin. Oh wow. All are people I didn't expect to see. Not like I dislike them, but is it possible to stumble into my idol outside school? Oh yeah, just remembered that I met Ms Nancy back from Rhema there too.

I just burned a new music CD. The tracks, in order:
1. ABBA - Dancing Queen
2. ABBA - Mama Mia
3. Aqua - Barbie Girl (Techno Remix)
4. Baha Men - Who Let The Dogs Out
5. Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
6. Krezip - Can't You Be Mine
7. Lene Marlin - What If
8. Pink - So What
9. Saving Jane - Girl Next Door
10. Spice Girls - Wannabe
11. Timbaland ft. One Republic - Apologise
12. Akon ft. Kardinal Offishall - Dangerous
13. Jordin Sparks ft. Chris Brown - No Air
14. Rihanna - Disturbia

I listen to the CD in my car everyday since I burned it. This CD also marks the first time I did not include a Japanese song or a video game soundtrack. Songs 1 - 11 are also being burned by me for the first time ever. My fav first-time songs on this CD are #8 and #10, So What and Wannabe respectively.

Yesterday on my way to Tun Jugah, I saw a sticker on the car in front of mine. It says, "What is missing in ch rch?" ... Missionaries use jokes now?

On my to-do list now: Watch 2 Studio Ghibli movies tonight, and Black Water tomorrow.

Coming up later tonight: E-gallery.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Wow, since no one bothered, I am taking 3 (three) contests off the title contests section, in order from earliest to avoid stretching the page. Answers are here, people-who-don't-even-try (most answers are VERY obvious from the hints ... I guess I am just hipper than my readers =.=):

1. 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' is a segmented song by Pink Floyd (which was the freaking hint) that plays over 13 minutes. Longest song I've ever heard so far. Worse of all was Sharon's answer, thinking it was connected to Wiri-sensei (Willie) and Jedo-sensei (Jade) when I kept telling her it's a wonderful song by Pink Floyd in school. Having a supportive friend is good, but you don't really feel that way if they have proven to be severely unattentive.

2. 'The Golden Experience' can be answered as either a song individually or an album by Prince (which was the hint >_>).

3. I'd admit, 'Cross Fire Hurricane' was a toughie. The hint given was 'Jumpin Jack Flash' ... it's a song by The Rolling Stones. Okay, so Cross Fire Hurricane is a line of the song's lyrics.

Actually, you can easily find all 3 answers through Wiki with much ease. Lazy dullards, you lot. I do appreciate Michael pitching in some effort to research, though he got them all the wrong way ... he thought I was asking about the HINT instead of the TITLE. Up till now, the sole winner has been Brenda. Who actually understands what to do. Boo to all those who got all frustrated and confused. Advice: Be street-wiser, onegai shimasu (please). Or less lazy. Or if my explanation on the contests was seriously a Gordian knot to you, do brush up on your English. It's all really simple, IIRC I didn't use my transcendental lingo and Brenda didn't even complain about it. And when she doesn't complain about something, it surely fits the average crowd. That clearly means you lot are ... well, whatever.

*kyu* ... My friends are all telling me that Wiri otou-san is a player. A pimp. Just because he played driver for two female teachers instead of the usual gung-ho men. Hrm, my idolization shall not sway. I believe he is loyal to his wife (unlike my father) ... how do I know that ... uh, telepathy :P. Then James and I discussed something about him that lead to me saying that he most likely have a feminine side. Well, not that I am dissing my idol, it's just that it's typical for Virgoes. And if Yana's information is bona fide, Daddy is a Virgo ... well, that's not too bad, I guess. Virgoes' quality points are ... ja-jang (with Nanako Doujima's voice!)! - hygienic! Conscientious! Et cetera! Anyway the part which drew my envy was that James arm-wrestled with him. Kuu. Whatever, what's so great about arm-wrestling!? I got so irritated I picked Chilli to arm-wrestle and for the first time ever I won against something other than the arm-wrestling machine over at the Pelita Arcade.

Damn. I told Mr Arthur I'd meet him after-school to pass up my thumbdrive and I discovered that he had already went home. gfefnfn24970@@$$^!#%$^%@. Well, HE violated the ... semi-promise, so if he said I was late to hand up then I'd sue him. Okay, maybe not. After all, I'm such
sweet, nice, little kid ... am I not? I even photostated the English exam papers' information sheet ... TWENTY-NINE freaking copies. Okay. So it's just RM 2.90. Still, proves my selflessness. I have to refuse Kemi-sensei's money tomorrow. Cos' ... my role model is Mr Willie. I'm sure he's as selfless and humble. I just know it.

Oh my, I have to study for tomorrow's exams. And now's already nearly 10. Gah. I could've cared less for exams, however I have a status to uphold in the eyes of my idol, and I've seriously got to kick Jessy off my initial position. I may be a tame little puppy, however showing mercy in the battlefield is just plain stupid, whether the enemy force is male or female.

I'm going for a 2-week vacation the moment time reaches November 15th's/16th's daybreak. To West Jakarta. Screw spending my precious time slaving around the dull city
of Kuching clinging onto the hope of having a chance encounter with my idol. I've totally given up, seriously. For once I'm giving myself priority to relax and enjoy myself. And don't for once think that PMR worries me. Blah. Blasphemy.

God Bless The USA

Special exam-season blogger Williew jacking in ~ hey batter batter hey batter batter swing ~ nevermind my random spouting of words. Though if you are media literate you may feel familiar with that line ... Anyway, despite this post's title, I DO NOT believe in any religion's god whatsoever. And I never will. Screw the fact that Mr Willie has a religion. That part of him I won't idolize. Plus, from the looks of it he doesn't seem to really care about it either ... hopefully.

I have a strange affinity with convenience stores. I have always thought they have quite a lukewarm vibe about them. I've seriously dreamed of working in convenience stores before ... and although I am now, it ain't as kewl as any 7-11 outlet ... I am working part-time in only a common sundry store. It's to save money to rent an apartment flat for William and me to use as our writing studio. My night shift is at a local pub though. Given the lax requirements, I netted myself position as waiter easily. To my relief, I am yet to experience any barfights. Also, my father finally started giving us money ... so, yeah, I only need to focus on getting my hands on a cheap flat. Maybe it's just me, but we're getting kind of off-topic. Now, let me just tell you that I love 7-11. 7-11 FTW. Currently my fav outlet is the not-so-new one at Premier 101. If you ask me, the location is pretty strategic as that area also houses Taiwan Cake Store (for food) and Sweet Memory (stationeries) ... ideal for students on the go. Not to mention there's always Slurpee to enjoy ... oh yes, I am a slurpeeholic alrighty. The sensation is just pure win, flawless to cool down ... and the enjoyment is far from detrimental even if it's a super heavy storm ... instead I will love it more. I live by wet weather. As I said before, I really like water, so the more it rains, the more revitalized I feel. Gaming during a rain is just great. My fav cashier is Paul(onio) of the same 7-11 outlet. He's very nice! He can even help you to fill up your Slurpee cup! And if he thinks your cup isn't full, HE will be unsatisfied instead and demands you to add more. People who aren't money-hungry are just rare these days. Also, some cashiers doesn't offer the Slurpeeholic redemption card or doesn't ask for it from you, while he does. These days I don't see him much. Maybe he got promoted (which is hardly surprising) or transferred to another branch. Anyhow, the Stutong Baru branch is just one I can't help but diss. Their Slurpee machine had been broken for over half of 2008, and yet they made no effort to repair it. As to add insult to injury, sometimes their A/C is broken. Oh yay. Oh oh, one more thing: the coffee shop beside it is so dirty and unhygienic, I really hate having to go there.

I'm typing about swimming after taking quite a hiatus from it. Okay, maybe not so. Last week's class was a disaster. Like, kraka-boom, and I dropped dead. So we started immediately with intensive swimming without warming up first ... which was tough for me ... I pretty much ran out of breath more than once. Next up was roping. Dawn and Mr Alex's son (the name is quite obscure, so I wouldn't type since I'm not sure what it is) were having their first experience with roping ... and that time was not enjoyable for me. When it usually is. I mean the second half of the tutorial, where we used a broomstick in place of the rope. We tried it our on the tiled part side which was awfully slippery given the flowing water, and it hurt when we were moving back while pulling Karen in. I hurt my left index finger. Thankfully it wasn't a cut. So yeah, we pretty much took 
quite brutal punishment then. Well, as one of my Birth Arcanas denote (Temperance), I have high endurance so it didn't really matter ... much. Later we did cross-arming. Like Dawn, I got myself in a horrifying sexually-suggestive scenario. Ugh, I really hated that moment. And the person on my back was like ... breathing so heavily just like those sexually-fueled gasping and moaning sounds. Sick, that's just plain sick. 
Well, after the trio (Karen, Kevin, Dawn) flew off to who-knows-where, that's when I start having a miserable time. I won't elaborate. It's so embarassing
and has hints of bullying activity which may attract controversy. Although yeah, I must say, I got pretty hurt when one of the substitute instructors started being obnoxious with me. T_T But no worries ... I didn't cry. Sticks and stones may hurt me but it isn't so for words. I believe I am physically the weakest boy in my class, but at the same time I also firmly believe as well, that my willpower is downright the most solid there is. What I lack physically, I make it up mentally.

My final version of Daddy (Mr Willie) was done as well, and I passed it up. Yay. The good thing is, Kemi(Cammy)-sensei was baffled as to what WLYY means. I didn't lie (what did you expect), however I just said it's someone's initials. That's true in a way, or maybe I was just being obnoxious. James-kun read it, and said it was really meaningful, so he's going to post it up in his blog after the exams. Heh, much thanks. I need to think of how to repay him. Speaking about James, he and I have also promised each other an extensive diet & exercise program in the upcoming winter/year-end hols. I need to lose lots of weight, seriously, if I even think of becoming like my idol 
(Mr Willie). Well, that means less time on bed and more off it. Yeah, I'm on bed doing hardcore wanking and playing with sex toys. That must have been what readers'd expect. Sigh ... I sit on my bed when I am gaming, dammit. My mother calls me a pregnant lady during the holidays since I am pretty much just relaxing in the bedroom without doing anything. I need some untanning substance as well ... my idol has snow-white skin ... my arms are severely tanned ... right, that was a hyperbole. Also using Mr Willie as a role model, I gotta get rid of my pimples. Ack. I'm not particularly fond of facial treatment. Hurts. Ow. Kapow. Sharon suggested using masks. Perhaps. Just perhaps, I may try. Really helps having a supportive friend.

I'm actually just back from tuition. Science. The teacher is a scammer. For some reason, he managed to swipe off my signatures for the past two months, making it seems as if I didn't pay my fees. Geez man, this is the second time it happened. Since he doesn't issue receipts, I cannot argue either. He sure teaches informatively and with speed, way beyond Jade-sensei, however his greediness makes me digress on who's relatively better. Jade-sensei, duh, anyhow she IS the spouse of my super fabulous idol, so, uh, she must be made of just as much win.

Twilight. Twilight. Twilight. Argh, a bunch of my classmates are drooling over the Twilight series. Somehow I regret buying Twilight in the first place. Then maybe this craziness wouldn't exist in the first place.

Am yet to start studying for exams. Same with Sharon. Carefreeness FTW. Last minute drive is all we can do. 
Hopefully I can reclaim my position from Jessy. Hopefully when I enter my senior years I don't get into a class with the smarties. If that happens, to be of some value towards Daddy is bleak; the possibility. *sigh* My Emperor, my Star, my Sun, why are you so hard to grab hold of?

Burn My Dread

These days, I feel kind of empty (typical, happens everytime school is nearing). So I am aimlessly playing The Sims 2: Pets, and there aren't any good new CRPGs ... Oh well, I will have plenty in the year-end holidays.
Persona 4! Ar Tonelico 2! Monster Lab! And a few more that I've forgotten but will pick up!


Yakuza 2 is made of win. I spent my whole last night being a host at the host club 'Adam' ... so fun getting the
gals to buy the expensive beverages ... XD. When not doing my shift I went to cabaret clubs. Cabaret clubs are ... (editted from ThePatrick's FAQ ... and yeah, I am one who gives credit where it is due) Basically, there are these clubs in Japan called "cabaret clubs" where young, attractive women are employed to keep a guest company (and to get them to spend more money on drinks). No; they're not

necessarily just a place to get a prostitute--in fact, prostitution is illegal
in Japan. Well, mostly, but we're getting off-topic. Anyway, it's so fun. A simulation side-game in a brawler? Much more meaningful than dating in GTA. Or plainly hooking up some random
slut. My fav cabaret girls are ... Jun from Prime! Natsuki from Jewel! Karen from Shine! And I don't jerk off on virtual girls, that's a big no-no, in fact, I'm pretty much asexual ... currently.

Well, the holidays have passed. Quite a long holiday for once. Well, it's not actually long, but felt long. Maybe because I was just aimlessly playing The Sims 2: Pets. I should have studied like Jordan. He got 100% for Science Enrichment. I got only 95%. Boo. Well, whatever, so long as I'm still alive, I could care less. Why bother yourself too much? Bringing over my own personal
quote from last year (now forever immortalized in my desk last year using correction liquid): "You can fail in tests but don't fail in life." I guess it's something simple, but isn't an easy thing for people to realize, as since elementary school we have been made to think that tests are everything - as you can see there are beguiled, innocent kids who ended their own lives just because of crappy results. Teachers and parents should show kids a wider view on life. Geez, they shouldn't keep their attention all onto school only.

Dave Wittenberg is voicing Teddie! If that doesn't ring a bell, Teddie is Kuma's name in the US release of Persona 4. Dave Wittenberg was the VA for Gaspard of the .hack//G.U. trilogy. I seriously adore that kewt, chibi-style voice. Especially since it's coming from a MAN. Usually they'll just grab female VAs to do these kind of stuff, so I really like this change. However I
think that Wittenberg sounded TOO much like Gaspard while working on Teddie. I don't like
voices that sound exactly the same. I prefer variation.

I have been reading Diamond Is Unbreakable. In case you remember things poorly, it's the 4th arc in the JJBA series. For the first time ever the series got me touched (though I am yet to cry) during this scene:



It was Shigekiyo 'Fatty' Yangu (Stand: Harvest) VS Yoshikage Kira (Stand: Killer Queen). The guy above is Fatty. Damn, he was such a jerk in the previous chapter, but I just couldn't help but be touched by his words. He's nearly dead and yet he still continues to move in order to ensure his parents' safety. You couldn't comprehend my feelings. Anyway, yeah, in the end before Fatty
could reach Jyosuke (Stand: Crazy Diamond) and Okuyasu (Stand: The Hand) for help, he was completely vapourized by Kira's Stand's ability. Well, I guess it was kinda predictable because if a supporting main character fights the main antagonist alone, the result is always death, since this trend has been repeated many times ... *cough* Kakyoin VS Dio *cough* Nero VS Diavolo *cough* Foo Fighters VS Pucci *cough*. Okay. So Nero wasn't exactly a supporting main character. Whatever. In the end, only the main protagonist gets the glory. This cliche is starting to get on my nerves. At least allow the challenger to survive ... sigh.





In case you don't know, F.F.'s remains were blown away in the wind. The poor thing. She/It sacrificed herself/itself for Anasui ... Darn, now the team's lost their main healer. Must Araki always kill off the characters that I like? Especially Narancia Ghirga and Iggy ...

Oh dear, it's 4.00 a.m., well, I need my sleep. This was intended to be a long post, but I suppose I will continue later then.

Come On Eileen

Let us congratulate our first winner in my blog - Brenda Sia-chan! Feel free to visit our winner's blog! She won a sandwich. With black cherry jam. I experimented it through my usual trial and error method XP ... turns out better than it looks. Worth the money, I guess. She guessed it right - Teenage Wasteland is a song. However I listen to a version that isn't sung by the band she mentioned ... I listened to The Who's. It's also the version
used as CSI: NY's theme song.




Must thank Kevin for teaching me how to use Print Screen when everyone else's too selfish ... *cough* Kyc *cough* Anyway, I'm really glad there are still people in this world who don't just toss around the phrase "Sharing is caring" while donning lucid hypocrisy. The usual sure-fail technique my classmates use against
Mr C. Calling him C instead of Cammy is actually cuter. Or maybe it's just because of my Chloe Valens fandom. She's an in-game character with the nickname 'C'. To think I'm taking my English teacher to the same level as Chloe ... uh, maybe I should reconsider and stick with Cammy. Let's do a comparison. Konpari taimu!


Chloe Valens from Tales Of Legendia

      
  


VS

Mr Camillus Choo from Lodge Secondary School

I'd be killed by every other Chloe fan for this comparison. Sorry. Guess I'll stick with Cammy then. Much safer,
it is. The winner's pretty obvious huh? Even if we're not comparing looks, Cammy'd be sliced & diced to his inevitable death in the hands of Chloe and her trusty blade (depends on what you have her equipped). =.="


I started listening to Sex Pistols. And they'd make a great Stand name. Who knows what its powers are if there's such a Stand ... * looks at the dirty-minded boys * ... sadly however, such a Stand already exist in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. In the 5th arc, Golden Wind/Ougon no Kaze. It is used by Guido Mista, one of the protagonists, and no, its/'their' ability does not cater to the dirty-minded rascals. Instead, the author focused more on the 'Pistols' part.




Ain't so clear, yeah, so just go to Wikipedia, then search for 'Stand (JoJo)'. You can even read about EVERY Stand that've appeared so far. Ok, not every, most. They missed out Jail House Rock, Under World and Bohemian Rhapsody for arc 6 (Stone Ocean) and arc 7 isn't finished yet. Starting from arc 4 (Diamond Is Unbreakable), all Stands are named after music references. Sex Pistols is one.

There's one blog that I know. Owned by a boy my age. It's seriously getting on my nerves. By spamming 'fuck'. What is it with him? Is the word THAT kewl? Even minor, crappily short posts are expanded lots by the massive, excessive, endless spammage that appears to be used in the least suitable parts. Added to the fact that he isn't emo but tries to make himself seem an emo in his blog. *pukes* ... Major FAIL. None of my business, sure, just a suggestion that if you want to make a good blog, foul spams will just make your blog feel irritating.

Oh yeah, do check again the post
Cross Fire Hurricane. I've described my ability, Breakthrough and Chilli's Stand in a much more detailed way. Also altered his Stand's name, and switched its 
Strength and Speed. I'd say, his Stand is truly an original masterpiece and kind of versatile. I think I'd make an awesome director for Heroes. I wish I have the channel Star. Then I can finally watch the show to see if the superpowers are as great as Stands' and as creative.

Last night I was watching the Singaporean soap opera on Astro AEC, Metamorphosis. So there's this fugly guy (like me), who's always rejected by others (like me) although he never really did anything wrong (like me), he just got treated badly and differently for his looks (like me). So he raped, tortured and decapitated two women into many pieces who looked down on him, underestimated him, he says. In my opinion, that will make society look down on you more, for being fugly AND a murderer. For fugly people, the best choice is to show what you can do and try WAY harder than others to make your self-value shine. Guess some are just too dumb. Well, I'm going to prove myself (to Willie Liew and my parents especially) through my writing (hopefully). Sharon and William gave me so much support, I just can't help but try not to disappoint them. Thanks guys, for being around when you are needed.

I am playing The Sims 2: Pets after a long time. I made a new family ... The Liew family. Muar hahaha. The father is Willie Liew, and I made the Sim model so similar to the real Willie, though I can't get the facial hair to be as obscure as the real Willie's. The hairstyle is a perfect match. I got him real spiffy clothes that just exude the essence of pure KEWL. The mother is my mother, ho, just with me acknowledging her surname to be Liew. I made her Sim self don red & gold apparel, really awesome. The son is me, Wilson Liew, ho ho ho, and looks much better than me in
fact. The truth is, all the available hairstyles are so different from mine ... and the fattest size a Sim can get is nowhere near my size. Don't expect a daughter. Do expect a daughter-in-law though. Just that it isn't QQ Liew. I named her Quistis Liew. And so, a maniacal teen with a family complex went on to feast on his desires within a virtual world ..... man, that's just sick. Thankfully the Pets expansion pack is more child-friendly. So even if you get the Sims to marry and sleep with each other they don't do THAT and have babies ... I'm not too sure about the PC version though. I heard that it has a lots more stuff unavailable in the console ports. Willie and Lina is already married, however Wilson and Quistis has still ways to go because they are both so busy ... especially with Quistis getting all those job promotions. You have to see the house I designed for the family. I'm no doubt a certified interior (and exterior) designer with talent. If people don't dig my books or my bakery cafe, maybe I'll opt to that. The family has a dog. I forgot the breed, sorry, however I dressed it up real cool, with translucent azure shades and a nifty shirt, named Buster Liew. It's male (dur-urr). I made all the four human Sims sign up for jobs in different fields: Willie in Coaching (promoted once), Lina in Arts & Crafts (promoted once), Wilson in Private Tutoring (promoted once) and Quistis in Retail Marketing (promoted twice).

I went to Kuching today (!) ... which is a surprise, considering how much I loathe going to Kuching in the holidays. So there was this rich guy who's a friend of my parents. He's from Indonesia. He came here with the whole lot of his family ... and that's seriously a lot. Being a rich guy, he rented a first-class tourist bus ... =.= to visit us. So when I woke up, my parents were rushing me to get ready as they were about to arrive. They suddenly went to open up the gates and said they are already near. So I took a quick bath and only brushed my teeth without washing my face or hair. The thing that got on my nerves was that from 11:30 (when I was done changing), I waited downstairs on my computer till TWO-THIRTY. Wow. And they were NEAR. I could've gamed lots. Then they ask me to go to the city with them. Foolishly expecting a chance encounter with my idol, I went along (looking back, this isn't the first time I fall victim to my optimism), bringing along only my malfunctioning phone that screams aloud NO SERVICE the whole day and without my watch or wallet. Thankfully I got a financial restock later when we reached The Spring (kudos to my mum), however I spent the day unaware of the time. Instead of Willie Liew, I bumped into boys. Ed-bababa-ert-erd-ert, Kyc (pronounced 'kik'), Chilly-cool-chilli-yo, Shion and Der-hur-err-hic-ick. Ok. So it was Edbert, Kyc, Chilli, Daryl and Derrick respectively. We went to Sushi King. I still remembered the prices despite not having the 
receipt. IIRC, Kyc had a Tori Teriyaki Don (RM 13.90), Derrick had a Tori Katsu Curry Bowl (RM 13.90), Daryl had nothing, Edbert had 3 Ebi Tempuras (RM 9.90), Chilli had a Curry Soup Rice (RM 10.90) while I had a combo of Garlic Rice (RM 4.00) and an Okonomiyaki (RM 5.00). So I am the most money-conscious. Hehe. What sucked was that I brought the Breaking Dawn book along with me (I skipped 2 books because I'm known to be able to magically join threads of tales easily, and I was bored during the ride down, so I brought it) and left it at Sushi King. Later I headed to MPH after Chilli and Daryl left. Only then did I remember my Breaking Dawn. I went back to the restaurant. Poof. It's nowhere to be seen. People sure do their part in being dishonest these days. No announcement was made about it. I asked one of the waiters, and he said that another teen came along and took it, and since she looked my age, he thought she was taking it for me. Ugh. Dawn will be broken up (yes, the pun is intentional this time round). So I went back to MPH to look for BD. I did not mention to the others and asked them to help me look for the book to buy it again. Sadly, we weren't able to, and the staff were annoying ... they just asked us to look harder. Then Edbert left. Then Kyc and Derrick said they want to go get themselves some sushi to bring home. They said they'll come back for me. So they didn't. I bought 3 tankobons of Yaiba (volumes 8 - 10) and an English manga, Presents which is quite creepy after ransacking the whole store. The computer terminal said there were still 5 books of BD in stock, I just can't find it even in the section mentioned. I gave up, yeah. Along the road home got verbally abused. My father seems to have a prejudice against peace and quiet perhaps. The annoying part is, when outdoors he always sport a nice person image. Sucks, having a hypocrite and loser as your father.

So now I'm home. Seriously gotta redeem my lost time in Kuching. I've learned my lesson time and again. Sharon, it's not that I'm too crazy with games. It's just that I've suffered too much from going to Kuching to hang out already. It's so depressing just thinking about it. In the end I choose games, as at least you 
have meaningful fun and benefit from it. I'm driven to a dead end, see. I don't really have much choices.

p.s.: I am loving every bit of my new game, Yakuza 2. I still won't like the GTA series though, despite them being kind of similar, though overall I think the former is way better.
