Can't Even Obey Rules?

... ... ...

I went to the study group! Cha-chaaang! It was really guilty pleasure going there. I went there for Pokemon, then found out that there weren't any WiFi signals today. Wth. So since I arrived around 7:50 (it was scheduled to be at 8:30, but I didn't know), I whipped out a History book and finished it while listening to music from my DS. I really couldn't help but look around when I listened to The Vogues. Paranoia mambo. Scary. Chik arrived next. Then Jordan. Sharon. Joce & Elisa. Darrow. Che Yik. Fira. Adrenne. Michael came much later. Before Michael came, we already started with Form 3 History revision. I told Fira about the dream I had concerning her wedding.

Much later, Jordan started playing Phoenix Wright (he's only on his second case!) and I played Pokemon Diamond. My Murkrow can take down enemies around 9 levels above her, given that they are weak to Flying/Ghost/Dark. Now heading for 7th Gym! ... We were playing our DSes cos' they moved on to Geography revision, we felt that we didn't need any (I hate to say this, but I really only need to focus on History and PK now, if I want all the As) ... ANYWAYS, Jordan decided to play hypocrite and joined them in their revision. So I who gets bored of the sluggish, clunky interface of Pokemon easily, switched off my game and lazed away ... trying to do a PK paper that I mislooked.

Btw, Ms Wong & Mr Willie was at school. So are a few other teachers. Wonder what they were doing. Sharon and I scouted the library to see 3 teachers discussing inside. They weren't the named couple, ergo the point is moot. The weather was so sickeningly HOT, so we slinked into the staff room to cool down. The janitors were chit-chatting away in the mini-kitchen, so Sharon and I just stood at the main doorway, enjoying the humming air-conditioner ... that was after the Liew couple left. While we were there, the rest heartlessly started thumping down the stairs. I was particularly miffed at the fact that they knew where we were, yet decided to abandon us. So apparently they were going to the shophouses. Only Joce & Elisa bothered noticing us. So we charged on ahead. The heat of the sun was unbearable. I want to up and leave Malaysia. Fly to Japan. It's currently the season of love and romance there, autumn. 

So the people went to the handphone store. I followed them there, felt nauseous, and opted to join Sharon at Uni-Shop instead. I love convenience stores ... especially ones in Japan. I dwindled around in the shop on purpose to enjoy the air-con. It was so funny cos' I pretended to check out all sorts of drinks with Sharon. In the end I went with my initial choice anyways, Pulpy C. I like orange juice with pulp. I grabbed a packet of sweets, very old classics, those milk tablets. And those choco-balls we all used to eat during our hazy childhood. 

Back at school, our McDonald's delivery van was there (was it a van?). I had a Double Cheeseburger set, along with a freshly-baked Apple Pie. They wrongly packetted them into Banana Pie packets though, which caused quite the furore among the uninformed (which includes Daryl and even myself). It was a nice lunch. I think I am beginning to appreciate McDonald's food. I used to hate the cheese, now I feel it's okay. The fries today were pretty tasteless enough that I had to use ketchup. The apple pie was awesome. Finished first! 

After that Jocelyn suggested that we play a game before we kick off with KH revision. Since everyone were confused as to what game to play, I saved the day! I thought the classic game of Hide n' Seek would just be perfect. And perfect it was. It was a total blast. It's fun playing either hider or seeker (I had played both today!), but hiding is more fun! There is this corner that I hid in. I crouched there and comically used my Doraemon wallet to shield my face. Haha, just for laughs. Sadly the seekers never showed up while I was there. In the end I was forced to hide elsewhere since my ankles ached. Adventurous games like Hide n' Seek is plain awesome. I'm happy that everyone was willing to go along with such a childish game. Once I was a hider, and I was found nearly immediately, so I went around trying to seek out the rest. I went to 5A, and I checked out the storeroom. Why do they make storerooms when the students don't even use them!? I looked to my left. Nothing. I was about to leave. But I looked to my right. I screamed. It was Adrenne with her long hair. And Shau. Scary. They screamed too. So our screams attracted the seekers :P ... That was just part of the whole game. We clocked in thelast hour of our group study with a few rounds of Fire & Ice. Not as fun, but nevertheless these nostalgic games are still very fun indeed. Shame Dawn didn't join us. Or the rest of the class.

Sometimes people can turn ... jerky, suddenly. I sometimes wodner how they have the gall to pull that off. I don't know whether to like or dislike these kind of unstable people. You just can't help cherishing them when they are nice. Then they just drop off their mask and become an entirely different creature which is a total jerk. Even Michael is sick of said person. Said person is pretty sick too, what with this multiple personality disorder.

The whole day, Daryl and Jordan was at it again - teasing Jocelyn with random garbage. Sometimes I just can't help but wonder what there is to be amused of; what there is to be laughing at. I mean, wth. They just spout something illogical (usually related to Jocelyn's non-existent fatness, or what she eats) and laugh their heads off. Yeah, har har har. I am most bamboozled. By. Such. Baseless. Stupidity. Geez, and since in normal class I sit quite close to them already, I listen to their stupidity every day. Now I'm getting fed up. No one else ... maybe except for Jordan's delta formation in front, bothers to laugh. Can't they see that they are ANNOYING, CHILDISH ... and STUPIG!? Is this caused by the PIG flu!? Things are just getting STUPIGGER and STUPIGGER by the day! Seriously, I can't believe it. And to think most of the time I see them as the most mature boys in class. Wth.

After PMR, I would like to watch Couples Retreat with everyone. It looks cool. Also, if anyone's going to Singapore in the year-end hols, tell me! Because it will affect my decision of whether to go to Singapore or not.

Last year I was all into English songs. This year it seems the J-vibe caught up to me again! I finally had the chance to listen to GReeeeN's widely acclaimed "Kiseki" which means "Miracle" in English. After listening to it, I felt that it was deserving of its popularity and place in the Guiness Book of World Records. IIRC, it broke the record for number of downloads, worldwide methinks. Not gonna post the vid (pretty enchanting), local readers = anti-Japan! 'Cept a small number of people, yeah. Talking about J-Pop, Salyu's "Iris ~ Shiawase no Hako" is awesome. It means "Iris ~ Box of Happiness". It's also Prof. Layton and the Diabolical Box's ED. The music video is so touching. Even though I have no idea what the ending is like :P ... Dawn knows though, ask her. But don't tell me. The OP and ED of Hana Kimi, "Ikenai Taiyou" by Orange Range and "PEACH" by Otsuka Ai respectively are so upbeat and hip! I am currently also looking for "Eternal Pose" by Asia Engineer - anyone has it (I doubt it)? 

Hana Kimi ... is a Japanese drama serial adapted from a manga of the same name. It's so popular, it spawned a Taiwanese version (me don't likey). It's about Ashiya Mizuki, a girl in California, who, after watching a Japanese guy who came to America to train in high jumping, disguised herself as a boy and enroll in the guy's all-boys school in Japan after hearing that the guy stopped high jumping. The school is a school that doesn't take in students based on grades but based on looks. So it is also called "Hottie Paradise". It's funny, wacky, hilarious and altogether cute and charming. It's watchable for free here.

Now I am off to Chik's blog! Woosh, just finished 3 homework in a row, after coming home from a tired day of work! I speak like an old guy! Ha ha!

I Have The I-Will-Die-If-I-Do-Homework Disease

Yesterday (Monday), I woke up after a dream about Fira's wedding. Everyone were to race to her wedding. I started off in an abandoned mall. On the road I met up with lots of other people like Shau and hitched rides, ran, rode bikes and climbed mountains to finally reach a secluded village where Fira's white, minimist bungalow was. What a scary way to attend a wedding. The journey was the most exciting though, we went to a lot of places before finally reaching the wedding party. So my maid tried waking me up at 9. I brushed her off. At 10 and 11 too. I brushed her off on those two occasions as well. The dream was one of those adventurous ones. I love adventures. I was the first to reach the wedding party, at night. It skipped to the next morning and I noticed how Fira's place was so beautiful. Marble flooring, porcelain deco, wow. Very white. There was the greener garden, yeah. I can't remember much. But I haven't had such a nice dream in a while already. Don't ask me who the groom was, I didn't even get to see Fira in the whole dream.

Today I had about 11 hours of sleep, methinks. I slept at 4 am till 3:30 pm ... no kidding. Okay, I was kidding. I woke at 12 something, watched some CSI, some Scare Tactics, some Oprah Winfrey show, some British music videos (I liked Sugababes' Push The Button) - basically, a parade of random programmes. Then there was the commercial that Dr Oz will be making his last appearance in Oprah's show tonight, so I wept for the emotion that was there. Aww. Too bad I couldn't make it for the Dr Oz special episode, I was at Science tuition. So after TV, like, about 2 pm, I slumped down on a portable mattress in the living room and lazed the hours away. Eventually I fell asleep again. Ugh.

Later I finally picked myself up for shower, then just as I switched on my DS, my father came home and alerted me of Indonesian guests. They came while I was in the Underground, so I was forced to let the game run while being charged. The guests (the teens only really) were childhood friends whom I can't even assign proper names to anymore. Well, we chatted a bit in Indonesian (they were surprised I managed to master the language, being never-officially-educated after all) ... they asked me why I can't go to Jakarta this year, I said this year I am 'ludes'-ed. 'Ludes' means broke. Kinda like a slang. They also asked why I didn't follow my mom and sis to Kalimantan this holiday (I know I never mentioned it). Well, there was an embargo put on me since PMR is coming up. And I haven't studied :P ... Anyways, my mom and sis left last Friday at 3 in the morning (I stayed up on Thursday night just to say my farewells). I always weep at farewells, this one was no exception. Especially being fuelled by a certain scene in the manga Steel Ball Run. The part where Johnny tearfully chose to save Gyro's life over the treasured Saint's body parts. IIRC, the chapter was "The Promised Land Sugar Mountain", Part 3. So one of the visitting teens offered to buy Indonesian manga for me - I can order from her through MSN now - yay! Then I added everyone in Facebook and ka-blam they had to go. 

Yesterday I also found out that the creator of the (in)famous Crayon Shin-Chan, Yoshito Usui, had died while hiking. Our world lost another of its best. His manga was the type that can just brand a smile on your face no matter how dark your days had been. LGI sincerely expresses its deepest sympathies and condolences to Usui-sensei's family and co-workers. R.I.P

The song, "Turn Around, Look At Me" is one awesome love song. But it made me so paranoid, now I always look around, feeling that ghosts are around. This is mainly because the way it was used in Final Destination 3 made it seem like a stalker's creed. I mean, the first few lines are like:
"There is someone
Walking behind you
Turn around
Look at me.
There is someone
Watching your footsteps
Turn around
Look at me ..."
But to counter that, I have ... the ED for Hana Kimi, "PEACH" by Otsuka Ai! It's so vibrant and cheery! Nevertheless, the creepy/romantic song by The Vogues that's hitting me with paranoia is very much worth listening to. Pure goodness.

Last night, for some reason, while waiting for some webpages to load, I went over to my One Piece tab. And I received a great surge of One Piece energy that was so great, I actually started reading it full-force. I sped from the tearful end of the Sabaody Archipelago arc where the crew got separated up until mid-Impel Down arc. It was that awesome. I expected the Amazon Lily arc to be boring, but unexpectedly, I found it a page-turner. Finally, the killer arc. Impel Down. It was SO ... SUPER. I cannot even begin to describe it. First off, my blood was like, rushing. Reunion with old villains. Buggy, Mr 3, Bon Clay. Whoa. Later, when Luffy was poisoned by Magellan, Bon Clay said another one of those killer lines when asked why he had to help Luffy. "We are friends! There's no need for any other reason!" One Piece. You. Rock. Please don't end! Later when Iva injected Luffy with the hormones, Mr 2 (Bon Clay) stayed outside and cheered Luffy on without resting. He was THAT awesome! And Daryl didn't tell me! The whole time I played "BRAND NEW WORLD" on my computer, to further encourage the rush. Finally, today I finished things up till the latest chapter. Mr 2's selfless sacrifice at the end ... was most noteworthy. From now on, I seriously respect transvestites. They may even better than other guys. Like certain classmates. Now all the focus is on the Marineford battle. If anything, I want the Straw Hat crew to come immediately, or for Moria to be beaten to a bloody pulp by anyone. I can't wait for the Straw Hats to return stronger than ever. Here are my speculations:

Zoro - Learns Haki since he may train with Perona by trying to cut her ghosts.
Sanji - Learns Okama Kenpo to further expand his movepool.
Nami - Learns a lot more meteorological skills from her stay in Weatheria.
Usopp - Beetle-based moves? I mean, his sling-staff is called Kabuto, and one his attacks is Hissatsu Atlas Suisei, based on Atlas beetles. Not to mention he is with a guy in a beetle mask now ...
Robin - Rokushiki. The people who saved her in the end looked suspiciously like Lucci, Kaku and Jyabura.
Franky - New mechanical abilities, and he may potentially upgrade the Sunny since he is at a technological island now.
I am unsure about Brook and Chopper though, but since they are my favorites, I really hope they will get super strong.

After Hana Kimi, I'm going upstairs :P

Like, Bam!

I have no idea why I am posting this late when I am supposed to be sleeping. Last last week, I cried for a total of 9 times. See, first I cried when Yousuke reunited with Juxiang in The Little Nyonya, then I cried watching the Brand New World (by D-51) opening theme for One Piece because an overpowering nostalgia surged over me. Brand New World is the best anime opening, EVER. One song that I will never get bored of. Here's my rating for One Piece's best openings:

#1 - Brand New World by D-51

#2 - Believe by Folder 5

#3 - Crazy Rainbow by Tackey & Tsubasa

Talking about songs, I recommend Mystery Jets' Half in Love with Elizabeth. Don't worry, it's English, anti-Japan freaks. Please stop thinking that everything western is cool and all that and that eastern stuff are lame. You're just wasting your life by covering yourself up in a dumphole. You might as well be living in a dump. You don't even try to know eastern culture yet you prance about with your western dreams ... when you don't really know much about western things either. 

I cried 5 times watching Smile's 6th episode, 3 times during its first. I wonder what's taking Stormy Subs so long to sub the next episode. I can't wait. Atashinchi no Danshi is awesome. It's a really cool dorama (Japanese drama) and I think they should have more dramas like it. My favorite character is Ohkura Akira. See, he is just kewt and undeniably charming. I mean, hello? He's 12, he's cool, he's cute, he's mature, he's smart and he BUYS AND SELLS STOCKS. Oh yeah, he also does magic and will fall asleep immediately at 9 pm on the spot. He could be peeing, arm-wrestling, anything. He will just freeze still. 

He is portrayed by Okayama Tomoki, who immediately became my favorite child actor. In the drama I also like Chisato (she's very cute too), Satoru (cute) and Kyoko (she always appear out of nowhere). My fav AnD episodes would be episodes 3 & 7! I like Ep. 3 because of the scene in the end which was so effing hilarious. First of all, stupid Sho didn't even notice that a woman was stealing his' house's stuff right in front of him. Then they went on a wild goose chase. The woman (Yoshida) knocked Takeru (who's part of a Bosouzoku) unconscious with one flying punch. Then Satoru screamed for nothing and jumped out of his window. Wth, the Japanese are pwnsome! I like Ep. 7 mainly because Akira is the focal point for once. Poor Akira. His theme color is yellow, and that is so in sync with me.

I'm currently playing SMT: Devil Survivor on my DS (US release this time round). It still feels fresh even though I played the JP version already. I love Midori. She will always be my favorite character.

I want to sleep. Bzzt.

I Miss Battle Royale

Tough day, folks. Last night I slept at 1 after playing Knights in the Nightmare. And I woke up at 6 something to prepare for my private tuition at 8. History =). I have a History tutor starting last week. When my parents told me about it, I was horrified as I had been through tutoring experience before. Last time in 6th grade I had a tutor for Chinese. He's awesome, but I had restrain myself from yawning the whole time. I really didn't want to relive such a nightmare. Therefore I invited Mynci to come along to my house every Sunday morning. At RM50 a month, it's quite cheap for a tutor really.Well, contrary to my initial expectations, the tutor is fun! She has quite the sense of humor, we get our share of laughs, and I get to play music from my computer XD! I've always wanted to go to a school with a BGM, especially those video game ones (which ARE school themes) like Persona 3's Want To Be Close, Changing Seasons or Mana Khemia's Vayne and his Pleasant Friends. Revitalizing, fo sho. Sadly, schools don't realize this. Even though Lodge is a private school like Gekkoukan, no one thought about it. Like, speakers in class playing the music quite softly (like I do during History tuition). The speakers can also be used for breaking news/announcements by the higher ups like in Japanese schools. Cool. Last week during the exams I was suddenly thrust back into Persona-mania mode. Therefore, I bought a sling bag on purpose, and I jog into the foyer with the exact rhythm as the random Yosuke, Chie etc. who bump up on Souji when he is walking to school. And I hum Want To Be Close. There's that sense of true youth in it. I walk into class and shout, "Mornin'!" Wow, never done that before. Very, very refreshing. I wonder if Eugene does it too. Whenever I finish my papers I will be tap-a-tapping my fingers like Inspector Lunge and hum something. If it's cloudy, Hearbeat, Hearbreak. Sunny? Your Affection. When The Moon's Reaching Out Stars for rains. But then the rhythm of the falling rain is enough for rains, like in P4. A most carefree exam week. As of the last day of exams, I went to PBK for my replacement exam. I didn't meet Karen or Phil. So I was so down, down, down. I did meet Geraldine-dine-dine. I'm high (now, not then). After I'm done I went out with a big plan. Not exactly, but a plan. I wanted to go to The Gingerbread House, sit down, order a cup of coffee, and act all adult and cool, sipping coffee while playing Suikoden Tierkreis on my DS. Nevertheless, my plan failed, due to my mother already waiting for me. Huh. We were to go to Premier 101 to wait for my father. So off we go in her friend's car. Woosh! And it was like, ka-blam, and, like, we crashed into the main square of 101. It's the open area in front of the Yamisu tea house. I'm not calling it Zhen Gong Fu, because it's Jia Gong Fu. No, serious, it's fake. The real Zhen Gong Fu franchise in China is not that cheap. Cheapskate! It had been quite long since I went to an open-air coffee-shop. So why not? It's kinda wild and happening anyway. 101 is pretty tame during the day, so I didn't know. For people out side Malaysia ... 101 is a block of shops that is far from 109 in Shibuya, Tokyo =). Anyways I ordered mantou with cream milk. And off I went to the nearby cd store to jot down horror movies worth checking out at Wikipedia. It's one of my hobbies. I don't watch horror movies much (cos I don't do well with nightmares) but I am fascinated by them I constantly look up on horror movies in Wiki. I like reading about the deaths =). Don't worry, just a hobby. Willie ain't no psychopathy =). When I was done, my father was already at our table. Apparently he did something rude which I didn't find out until last night. I don't want to go into detail, I ALWAYS suck at explaining the cruelties of my father. The mantou there was good. Of course, my father HAD to go against it. He said it was unhealthy. Okay, whatever. Everything he recommends is good, and everything new I try is bad. Like I care. Actually I do. Hmm. 

Wow, I finally managed to digress. So after the tutor and Mynci went home, I had to go to Kuching for PBK. Ugh. I ditched my essay today, the teacher is too blur anyways. Which is kinda good actually. You can pick to write the essays which are decent and ditch those you don't like, he won't scold me. After all, I don't talk in class. No one to talk to. Pretty cold class. It wasn't like this back in grade school. Last time in tuition even when we were total strangers everyone would ease up to each other fast. Teenage life, sigh. Oh well, at least the Green Road girl sitting with me is beginning to warm up. My throat always feel stuck when I try speaking to her though. I hope everything's resolved by the end of the year. Or hopefully not. Then next year I can move on to Mr Willie's tuition with no regrets whatsoever. But if I DO manage to net myself some friends, I may stay in PBK. After all in PBK you can get 97/100 in essays. Serious. When it comes to marking essays it really all depends on the teacher marking it so don't be sad if your school teacher if you low grades. Some other teacher may just worship your essay! Let's positive thinking! Oh, talking about grades, I'm quite happy with myself this term =). My Maths shot up from 54 to 95. If only I got 59 in the first term exams, then my marks would be palindromic. Before I went off for PBK, I finished up Battle Royale's last two chapters. Sob, bye, BR! I will miss you! Currently looking for the original novel!

What did I do yesterday ~ I woke up abruptly thanks to my inconsiderate father who doesn't realize that people need more sleep. I couldn't get back to sleep, and instead of playing Knights in the Nightmare I went downstairs, switched on my PC. I spent most of the day watching Smile on Dramacrazy.net and Nobody Knows at the same time. I finally found the movie online. Don't worry, I don't entirely blame the class. That stupid teacher too. She DID know that she wasn't one of our teachers, right? Why show us a movie of hers which we know would not be finished in 2 periods? Crazy! I also actually logged into my supposedly-dead Facebook account out of boredom. 48 friend requests. Wow, crazier than that stupid crazy teacher. Sheesh, craziness these days. I'm Ken Amada on Facebook btw, not Williew or anything. That's why I had to accept 48 requests at a time =). Facebook hates Opera, so there are stuff I cannot do with my current browser, like, say, Mafia Wars, searching for apps or adding quizzes to my Page. I hope Facebook becomes more compatible with Opera soon. I may like it more. I tried playing Bubble Town. Very classic. Actually that was just a nice way of me saying, "What a Puyo Puyo/Puzzle Bobble rip-off!" But really, it does have its own ideas, like the walls bouncing off Borbs. 

On my way home from PBK, I also noticed a few houses that burned rubber, causing a tall pillar of black smoke rise up. Yeahhhhhhhhhh, maybe I was in Indonesia. *nudge* *nudge* Malaysians aren't really all that great and civilized, get real, know-nothings. There's a haze in West Malaysia now. Oh, I wonder what caused it. "Stupid haze from Indonesia"? I think not. Have you even been to Indonesia? Retard. Retard isn't a bad word, we have to learn it in Maths. Stupid dense commentators on haze who have serious retardation issues, geez.

I will try my best to keep up with consistent weekly updates. 

HeCuDePe

1. Knights in the Nightmare - This. It's also the must-use-stylus DS game I am currently playing. The learning curve is steep therefore I don't recommend it to Dawn. The story is pretty dark anyways. My current band of Knights includes Bonn, Oswald, Diora, Meryl, Reinhart, Giesche, Freiber and Hilgard.

2. Persona 3 - This.

3. Mana Khemia - This.

4. Gekkoukan - The elite private school you go to as main character of Persona 3. It's awesome.

5, 6, 7. Yosuke, Chie, Souji - Main protagonists in Persona 4, they wear glasses in battle (hence the coolness). Users of the Personas Jiraiya, Tomoe and Izanagi respectively. Souji can actually use any Persona, since he is the game's main character. Souji is his given name in the Persona 4 manga, there was never any real name given to him in the game.

8. Inspector Lunge - An eccentric, important character in the manga Monster. Read it, it's deep. I mean, c'mon, it's by Naoki Urasawa (author of 20th Century Boys), how can it not rock? Of course, 20th Century Boys is way better ..... obviously as it is even more popular than the rock song by T-Rex its name is based upon.

9. P4 - Persona 4.

10. Suikoden Tierkreis - The current non-stylus game I am playing on the DS. A spin-off of the original Suikoden series, with still 108 characters to recruit. My current party consists of Hero (named Williew), Sophia, Yod and Servillah (with Balsam as support character) all at Level 51. I'm near the end of the game , currently at the Rarohenga dungeon. I returned to HQ to rest after recruiting Zayin inside Rarohenga. I recommend this game to Dawn, it needs no experience in RPGs at all, the battles are too ridiculously easy (except when you get to Rarohenga), nice if not slow plot and you do not need to play previous Suikodens to understand this game. I mean, it's better than just revising in the weekends! For Sharon, get Suikoden and Suikoden 2 for the PlayStation. Even if you can't game now you can keep it until the year-end holidays. My favorite Suikoden game is Suikoden 2. 

11. Let's positive thinking - Catchphrase of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment's main character Maya Amano.

12. Battle Royale - Oh I love BR! BR starts as a novel by Koushun Takami on a government project where a class of students is sent to an island and they are forced to kill each other until one remains. It was later made into a manga, which bore a sequel (Battle Royale II: Blitz Royale) and also a live action film, which also bore a sequel (Battle Royale II: Requiem). Both sequels don't rock as hard as their prequels. I've watched the films, read the manga, now I'm hoping to chance upon the novel sometime soon. It's really awesome, and sadly you can't read it at OneManga. Go to this website instead. Beware, it may be deep, but there's nudity and gore. The gore is really cheap though. Ask Sharon. She saw Yutaka's head drilled through with bullets by Kiriyama. Not very scary actually. You just may at most be surprised since it's a manga. Well, tough luck, CuDePe. Manga isn't limited to stuff like Naruto. Talking about shonen battle manga, I'm addicted to Fairy Tail! It's pwntastic! And I like it that Katekyo Hitman Reborn finally realizes that it sucks as a comedy manga and is moving on to become a real battle manga.

13. Smile - A Japanese drama. You have to watch it. I mean, it's the first drama EVER which got me crying in the first five minutes of the FIRST EPISODE. And I cried two more times i nthe first episode. How good do you think it is? It is subbed and watchable for free.

14. Dramacrazy.net - A website that hosts countless asian dramas and movies (Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese). Yes, you can watch Battle Royale and Battle Royale II: Requiem on that site. Don't worry, the films have hardly any gore.

15. Nobody Knows - The sad movie based on the affair of the four abandoned children of Sugamo. The movie is unappreciated and underrated ... here at least. I'm happy it got the awards it received. I don't like Shigeru, unlike Sharon who had finished the movie online. I think Susan finished it too. Damn, I wanna finish it myself. Awesome stuff. 

16. Puyo Puyo/Puzzle Bobble - Play Bubble Town in Facebook and you get the idea of both games. They already exist in arcades years ago. You can't find them in Hock Lee. But why play a puzzle game at an arcade anyways?

[#1] Aretha Franklin - Mr Big Stuff
[#2] Black Kids - Listen To Your Body Tonight
[#3] Britney Spears - Piece Of Me
[#4] Cat Power - Willie
[#5] David Archuleta - Crush
[#6] DJ Tiesto - Insomnia
[#7] Jack Johnson - Better Together
[#8] Kate Nash - Pumpkin Soup

In my thumbdrive I have extra 3 songs to boot:

[#20] Estrella - Stay
[#21] Tommy February6 - Lonely In Gorgeous
[#22] Westlife - Flying Without Wings (obtained from Agnes during Computer Class)

I excluded #1 from the thumbdrive lot as it isn't very nice IMO after listening a few times. No one made comments about #2, they don't even bother to finish listening to it. I admit the starting was a bit cheesy, but the part when the song really shines is during the "Alright Hello?" part near the end. I like #3 ... I mean, who doesn't? #4 is really tough to sing along, so I tend to skip it. Not going to comment on #5, I think people are too crazy over it. It's okay at first, but is the fastest to lose its appeal. #6 is just cool. Jack and a few other boys like #7. Nadia likes #8. Phil is nuts with #9. Vincent sings along to #10 with me. My mother likes #13 and #17 best. Kyc and I love #14. #16 is the one I crave to sing the most, and the only one Agnes showed interest in. Nadia, Dawn, Brandon and I are Ting Tings fans, so we like #17, #18 and #19. Jessy and a boy (I think it was Michael) clearly showed their dislike for #19 though. Everyone likes #20 (or so I think). Michael and Sharon picked #21, which is Paradise Kiss' opening theme actually. #22 is nice listening to. Those not mentioned are not mentioned by anyone at all. Overall, I rate this CD 4/5. This paragraph is dedicated to music, so let me start on the movie Mamma Mia's soundtrack. I think the songs are lovely, even those sang by the men as they're unique in a way. Out of the guys, I think Dominic Cooper sings best, while Colin Firth's worst (according to critics Pierce Brosnan's worst, but I just happen to despise Firth's singing more). Stellan Skarsgard isn't bad, but Cooper just aced the guys. For the girls, Amanda Seyfried was quite high-pitched most of the time, but Meryl Streep was just flawless. The movie itself isn't bad, but sadly I didn't finish watching it. Ooh, we are moving onto movies! The last movie we watched at school was Freaky Friday, which gratefully was finished since we watched it for 3 periods instead of the usual 2. Only after listening to Simple Plan's Happy Together from the movie did I realize that Romancing Saga: Minstrel Song's main theme is based on the song's tune, just softened! I prefer RS: MS's version though, it's more enchanting and Simple Plan pitched in too many unnecessary strums.

Did you know? The whole day I've been planning to make this one update to contain photos. Pictures date back to Lions' Nursing Home food sale (or maybe older) till the last school day. Sadly, it's 11. Maybe tomorrow. Hopefully I start blogging early.

I am so obsessed with Namco X Capcom. JPN games pwn, 'nuff said.

p.s. If you are scared of teachers reading your blogs, I suggest using smaller font sizes as most of them needs to squint at their age. But be prepared to make your blog seem more lacking in content, though it isn't in reality.

Music Is My Hot Hot Sex

There were a multitude of alienated people, all with their own purposes. Those looking for gifts. Those looking for a read. Those window-shopping. Those working for money. All making up society. And we are just a fragment of all the people. Hmm, I'm not 
writing a new story or anything ... it's just a spontaneous musing today while I was at MPH. I guess I'll be doing a more orderly flashback, so I'll start with the food sale report.

Okay, so this morning I went to the charity food sale at Lions' Nursing Home ... reached there around 9:20, much to my dismay (it's my sister's fault) as I had wanted to arrive when it starts. As expected, Mr Willie did go ... yeah, he is so nice a person, it would be weird if he 
isn't doing charity, especially since it's such a short walk from his residence. Ha. A reminder for Seba-kun: I didn't go there just for THAT *ahem ahem* reason. I've been attending charity functions for quite a while 
now. See, freethinkers aren't all that bad. Anyways, according to Seba's report, Mr Willie left before I arrived. Yay. I was like, O|-|_ ... yeah, a totally orzzy moment. Seba why didn't you help me get a photo or something!? Anyways, the food sale was okay, I guess. Mostly I bought from Nadia & Co. ... well, duh, it's obvious you'd support those you are acquainted with. Though seriously if they wanted to reap maximum profit from me they should've added all sorts of buns, pastries, Japanese stuff and cut down on the sweet stuff like chocolate brownies. Eww. I can't stand much choc ... I feel uneasy with it. I guess there are only 3 bloggers from 2A who are going to cover this event - namely Nadia, Seba and myself (duh, ain't I doing it now?) ... sadly Phil didn't manage to go ... boo. It'll be a 4-way coverage! Awesome. Well, it's just that each one of us views things differently, so seeing things through each other's eyes kinda fun. I tend to cover the more unique stuff that people in my school don't blog about at other 
times though. After my driver (chauffeur is a word too elegant to be used here) came back after having his breakfast at who-knows-where, I immediately retrieved the greeting card I forgot from the car and asked Seba to 
guide me to Daddy's house to complete the delivery. En route, we engaged combat with multiple Wild Hounds and finally had a fight against the boss, Cerberus, just outside Daddy's house. Seba fought with bare fists while I held my own with a plastic bag containing food. After the battle I healed our injuries with Fruit Jelly that I had in my inventory at that time. Sadly, reality (which Jessy endears so much) isn't that exciting. Basically, we just tried steering clear away from dogs. Life is such a killjoy. A partypooper. A big time drag. Blah, I'm so sick of it I don't feel sick anymore. Can a car just slam into me and get me into some kind of a deep coma so I can dream of myself in a fantasy world forever? And hopefully all doctors are so pathetic they can never recover me from unconsciousness. Okay, minus the car-slam-into-me part, I hate pain. Anyway, Wilson's super-duper-fantastic-brilliant-genius-magnificent plan has succeeded! ... Do they even check their mailbox? Should I have just thrown the envelope into the porch? Will the Vios run it down if I do so? Why is the porch so bare? They could use a good designer like me, I design awesome homes in The Sims. If I don't cut it as a writer, I can always be a home designer! I'll be more famous than 
Eric from Casa Impian! I'd actually have a much better TV programme!
Jessy: "Why do you dream so big!?"

After the sale, Wiru-kun hit The Spring. A lame hypermarket, yeah. But my sister insisted. Well, it's an opportunity to check on MPH. Seems they've got a restock on the Twilight series. Initially I was looking forward to purchasing another book by Murakami-sensei, but then I went off browsing self-help books instead. Marriage, parenting and all that are very important to be planned early, so yeah, that's me, a family complex. According to Jocelyn and Jonathan, I do go overboard with my obsession for happy families. So I either checked those type of books or those on astrology. I have immense belief in astrology, as so far it never failed to sway from achieving its predictions. The music CDs in MPH suck ... they are either children music, Christian music or worse, hymns. If one wants a hymn, best just get one off a RPG's soundtrack. They're much better, I tell you. Then I tried looking for the exact same stationery that Daddy uses. I couldn't even find a thing. So I end up finding things to prepare for Dawn's Christmas gift, and also relented to giving PC games a try ... I bought Uru: Complete Chronicles. Boo, it's such a disappointment. Right, the conclusion is: PC games suck, online or not. As usual, I also bought Yaiba since there was a new release waiting for me on the shelves. Two more volumes and the series ends (I believe in this sense 'series' is singular? Oui?).

I'm fairly interested in the PS2 horror game, Kuon. Anyone unable to appreciate that gem, feel free to barter or sell it to me. Spells and summoning in a Japanese horror. Epic win. From gameplay vids I'd say the game is pretty intriguing, disturbing and worth the buy. Okay, every other local gamers, this is your golden to get earn some money by selling to me the following games (if you have it of course):
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (PSX)
Revelations: Persona (PSX)
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PSX)
Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
Silent Hill 3 (PS2)
Tales of Destiny 2 (PS2) (JPN)
Tales of Rebirth (PS2) (JPN)
And yes Jordan Teng, I've found Silent Hill when you were talking so big about I will be unable of finding it in the city anymore. Why don't you just sell me SH 2 & 3!? You're not really into games anyway ... you don't even remember the names of MAIN PROTAGONISTS. Wow. But then again it's your own right to have a collection that you don't even care about, so ... whatever.

I've finished 3 (THREE) arcs of JJBA at once! Stardust Crusaders, Diamond Is Unbreakable and Golden Wind/Vento Aureo all taken down at once! And I want to go to Italy. Overall I like DIU the most, and the ending was kinda bittersweet, plus particularly sad for Hayato and his mother. The final battle, Josuke & Okuyasu & Hayato VS Yoshikage & Yoshihiro & Erba Gatta was epic, hands-down. However the rest of the boys disappointed me (Rohan, Koichi and Jotaro) for not participating but just gave a little aid near the end, and that was only Koichi who held down Yoshikage's hand and Jotaro who stopped time. Rohan virtually did nothing. Bummer, and he was one of the cooler characters. I also expected Joseph, Yuuya, Mikitaka and Yukako to help out in the final battle but they didn't even APPEAR. In DIU, my fav protagonist is Fungami Yuuya (Stand: Highway Star), I don't have a fav villain in DIU. In SC, I like Iggy (Stand: The Fool) the most, for villains I'd choose Terence T. D'Arby (Stand: Atum). Golden Wind was seriously kickass, and so far Giorno's my favorite main protagonist among the main protagonists (Jonathan, Joseph, Jotaro, Josuke, Giorno, Jolyne, Gyro, Johnny) of their respective arcs. Though if only Jolyne's Stand (Stone Free) was more interesting, I'd prefer her. Anyways, Giorno still isn't my fav protagonist overall, counting the minor ones. I prefer Narancia Ghirga (Stand: Aerosmith) over him. If Narancia doesn't exist, I'd still have another person to like more than Giorno, Trish Una (Stand: Spice Girl). In terms of villains in GW, I like Doppio (Stand: King Crimson) and Risotto Nero (Stand: Metallica)! Now I'm reading the very first arc, featuring Jonathan Joestar. There are no Stands! Argh!

What!? It's not even 9 yet? Wow, that's surprising. Anyhow, I like the rain ... Silver Lining is the best song currently for rainy weather enjoyment. Hoorah for Rilo Kiley! And the new band I tried, Cansei de Ser Sexy (literally, "I'm Tired Of Being Sexy) isn't so good but not too bad. This post's title will not be a PTC, considering how easy it is. Remember, only guess if the title's listed on the PTC roster. Lastly, Wiru-kun acted as if he knows so much of Daddy already so took the MyPersonality.info quiz in 
his stead
-.- ...

The Verbal/Linguistic intelligence seems to be of too low a percentage for a language teacher. Yeah, well, it's proof that I don't know him enough yet. Don't ask me where I got that pic. I sure like the Personality Type result though.

p. s. Sure there are pics from the food sale. Just wait please.

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.

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.

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



(image ripped from James' blog)

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.
