My Capitalist Hormones Are Raging

Finally done with homework. Hmm hmm hmm. There's still tuition work to do - but not very important.

First. And foremost.

They are making a movie about FACEBOOK. Seriously. No kidding! It will even have Justin Timberlake as the founder of Facebook. As a guy-who-had-daydreams-of-being-an-attorney, here's the decisive evidence! ... I'm dead serious, so check out the link. The credibility of this astounding piece of news item aside ... I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! They are really going to make a movie revolving around FACEBOOK!? How phenomenal is that? No one even bothered making a movie about the glorious me - the Sparkling Warrior of Justice, Love and Friendship! ... I realize that I do shift my title around, but bear with me. I wonder if Facebook's users will all watch it. It scares me to even think about it. Especially since even MBO in Kuching here isn't all that big. This is definitely crazy. Crazy sheet. Even Dawn was flabbergasted. I've started to call her Dawnce. I doubt I will watch it. But I may just watch it. Just to see how Facebook came to be so phenomenal, being just a social networking site. It's not the first anyways. Who knows, they might even have a movie about Twitter soon. It frightens me just thinking about it. 

I recently got a very nice new inspiration. I'm thinking of writing a horror-comedy. But I've never came across a horror-comedy book before, so I may just make it big! That said, I never put any effort into my writing. Even during the year-end holidays, I think I will be gaming instead. Sigh ... if only I can start - that's more than enough. Once I start writing, it's hard to stop. But the problem is getting me to start. I'm too lazy. I need the extra push, if anything. As of now, I have 3 ideas waiting to be made into written form. 3 ideas that I think can make it big. Just these 3. For my latest one though, I intend to make one of my main characters a drag queen. His name will be Zsa Zsa LaHore. Problem is, I've never met an English-speaking drag queen before in my whole life, so I do not know how he would act. If anyone has contacts with an English-speaking drag queen, can you get me an interview? It will be as research material.

I think Wei Huang can get me an editor, given his mom's status, but I really at least must get a manuscript done! My capitalist hormones are raging! Me needeth teh moneyz! For lots of stuff. There's so much to think of. Video game consoles. Travel tickets. Japanese tuition fees. Overseas college/university fees. Writing school fees. Future wedding savings. French food. There is so much I can do with MONEY! Oh, btw, I will never ever eat escargots, as much as I'd like to try the French's haute cuisine. I hate, hate, hate gastropods. I hate anything with hydrostatic skeletons. I don't even have to see them. I can just visualize caterpillars or snails and I'd get all messed up. If anyone has any idea of whatever publishing company in Kuching that offers payment for writing that isn't book-length, I'm up for it! I doubt I will be studying for PMR much anyways. I'm still playing doctor in Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 and collecting hearts in Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. Let's just face it: We have nothing, NOTHING whatsoever to lose. Uh, maybe besides the pride of the prideful ones. I just came back from PBK though, and the results I got for the second mock papers were indeed quite reassuring - 80 and 83 for Papers 1 and 2 respectively. Phew, now, really, my concerns (though not very seriously) are only on History (which is borderline-A-material) and PK (borderline-B-material due to severe exposure to MUBB [Make-U-Business-Blind] rays). Lookie here - I can't do a single accounting question without referring to my reference book. Wowzers. It seems my brain just won't accept the theories of accounting. How pitiful. I never give up on anything before, but on this one occasion, I don't think I have any other choices. Sorry, PK, but I don't think we work well together. If I'm getting an A from you, Lady Luck's gotta be shining down on me. 

*puts on shades*
*disco jacket*
*spotlight shines on me*
*strums air guitar*
"Shine on you Crazy Diamond ~~~"

Aye, I see how dramatic I can be. But unexpectedly the metaphor works! You can say that I am crazy (hey, doubt it not) and at the same time, I'm a diamond (not in terms of beauty) - I won't be (too) hurt from merely not getting straight As, or getting any form of downfalls in life later. Call me Williew, the Adamant Soul!  Killing everything with laser beams of hope, peace and optimism ... yes, that's me!

... Super.

If Everyone Cares, Nobody Dies

... If everyone dies, nobody cares. Those are the first two lines of the Random Singing session between Yi Yong and me. Currently, it goes like this:

If everyone cares, nobody dies
If everyone dies, nobody cares
(those two lines are interchangeable)
[Yi Yong sings something]
Oh my soul is in pain
(time for random lyrics)
My head's in the game but my heart's in the song

Bla bla bla

Besides Random Singing, 3A also has Random Dancing services, along with mock trials and talk shows ... all hosted by me. I am also thinking of a confession booth service. You can cover your face with a piece of paper, so will I, and you can start confessing your secrets. By the way, I will be able to see your nametag :D

Okay, a-yo yo, we are, fin'shed, rappin' the prologgie ... yo! Leschuhz (let's start) wiv ... gaymin'! It'z a-gettin' gayer by da min'te!

I am currently into Pokemon Diamond and Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box. This is PLatDB:

That was just a parody on the official trailer. If you want the links to the other parodied Prof. Layton trailers, drop in on the chatbox, right on your ... right, yessiree. Anyways, since Prof. Layton is pretty unknown in Kuching (only Dawn knows it when I mention the name), let us start with the explanation; full-swing and all.

The Prof. Layton games are together a DS series based on a series of picture books (picture books are really cool, okay?), developed by kick-ass developer Level 5 (Dark Cloud, Dark Cloud 2, Rouge Galaxy, Ninokuni: Another World, Ushiro) and currently there are only two Layton games in English - Prof. Layton and the Curious Village + PLatDB. The series are based on Profesor Layton and his apprentice Luke as they take down puzzle after puzzle. That sure sounded boring. But believe me, it's not. It's even better than masturbation. Trust me, I'm sure. In every game you will be treated to a majestic plot and charming, simple artwork. The game also has voice-acting to boot. Great voiceovers, in fact. They are rich with the British accent, and I just love classic English settings, okay? Especially being on a classic express train in Diabolical Box. According to Yi Yong (the London guru), no such trains exist anymore. Boo. You may be wondering how Level 5 managed to cram 1000s of puzzles and voice-acting and orchestrated soundtracks into a DS cartridge, but who cares how they did that. All that matters is the game sucks you in. I'm also currently playing Pokemon Diamond ( I know I've said this). I can't wait for HeartGold/SoulSilver. By 29th September though, I no longer need to play Pokemon Diamond, I will have Hero's Saga: Laevateinn Tactics, Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days and The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road. Don't underestimate the last one. I've seen a trailer, and it looks awesome. I also would like a PSP just to play P3P (Persona 3 Portable). I finally netted myself a deal that if I get at least 5As, I can have a new console. Finally, some motivation to study. ONLY ONE CONSOLE! AND THEY ALL LOOK SO AWESOME! The PS3 has the best graphics output, and also the most likely console Konami and Atlus will move Suikoden and SMT onto, respectively. The 360 has some impressive games like Eternal Sonata and Tales of Vesperia. The Wii will be having Fragile: Farewell Ruins of the Moon and I also wanna try Pokemon Battle Revolution, alongside Super Smash Bros Brawl. The PSP will have Ushiro, P3P, and Revelations: Persona. Btw, my father brought home a PSP of his friend's son's to give me a taste-test. I was like, "WHOAAAA" ... I mean, I've tried Vincent's before, but I didn't have much time trying it out XP. It was a 1st-grader's PSP, and thus I played LocoRoco :) ... it was pretty innovative for a platformer, but that's about it. With me, platformers won't ever make it to the end credits. Well, most of the time. That's also why I don't appreciate stuff like Mario. Eww. At least LocoRoco has its charm.

Dorama, dorama, I like dorama (Japanese drama) ~
Indian, Indian, I like talking like an Indian ~
Objection, objection, I can't wait for Miles Edgeworth's game next year ~

Let's check my list of watched dramas!

1st (and the one that drove me to watch dorama in the first place!) - Smile (unfinished)
2nd - Atashinchi no Danshi (finished)
3rd - At Home Dad (favorite, finished)
4th - Attention Please (unfinished, stupid Dailymotion is crazy slow)
5th - Dragon Zakura (this dorama is awesome! But the 5th episode is hosted on Veoh which is banned in Malaysia ... one of the reasons I hate staying here ... maybe I'll have to look for the DVD ...)
6th - Uta no Onii-chan (watching, I hate how the main character looks so pathetic but otherwise it's great ... personally, I find the main character to look like Kenny Sia actually, minus the pathetic parts)
7th - My Little Chef (just started)

I've been working hard on finding every dorama with Abe Hiroshi inside (At Home Dad, Dragon Zakura, My Little Chef) ... he's my favorite actor! Let's see my favs!

Fav. Male Actor: Hiroshi Abe
Fav. Female Actor: Maki Horikita
Fav. Child Actor: Okayama Tomoki

I also like regulars like Ueto Aya, Koike Teppei, Aragaki Yui etc. I tend to like watching family dramas, so I especially liked At Home Dad. May talk about it another time.

I worked hard painting in Art! I painted a personified collage based on my image of Persona 5 ... I am expecting it to have a neon green + black motif, complete with a plot connected to nature. So I brought my painting to Mr Chai after-school. He gave me the 49, but he said he wants to sell my painting. Wth? I refused (I won't even get the money!) since I really wanted to show the painting to Isaiah and Aaron from upstairs. However he just went on with it, blur as always, and told me I can take it back if it doesn't sells. O_O ... Hey, I know I'm supposed to be happy that a painting of mine actually got appraised to be of value, but it's really a special one for me. At least let everyone else in class to see it. T_T I really want people like Agnes to praise me, because ... they like to give harsh criticisms! Argh!

These days I am getting good reads off the school's library! I recently read Tripping to Somewhere by Kristopher Reisz and it was a fantastic blast. I had an awesome time reading it, except for the mildly disturbing parts featuring lesbianism. Otherwise it's just the perfect book for me. Now I am reading N. P. by Banana Yoshimoto. Her Kitchen book was amazing, so I thought, "Why not?" As usual, Japanese stuff sucks me in. N. P. stands for North Point, btw. It features incest. Oh great, I am starting to attract books featuring the most disturbing of sexual conquests like how rubbish attracts flies! ... Not a very nice comparison. I like my most recent essay that I wrote for a pop writing test. Yi Yong said it was average, but I suppose she just didn't get the humour. At least Dawn got all cracked up. I was actually worried that Ms Chin wouldn't like the sarcastic nature of my essay, but it seems to be fine.

Down, down, down ~ *humming Uta no Onii-chan's OP*

Oh yeah, no HeCuDePe.

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!

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.

Cross Fire Hurricane

Last two references still remain unanswered ..... =.="

The more I age, the easier it is for me to adapt with horror films. Now I can at least watch some from the start
till the end without looking away from the screen. The most recent one was Ginger Snaps. It's quite old. Yet
still great to watch. It got really good reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, getting a whooping 91% ... which is really surprising considering how much RT aggregates with its

criticisms. The movie was worth my time actually. I like the main actress (forgot her name) who played
Brigitte. There was plenty of suspense that got my adrenaline pumpin' near the end. Overall, 4/5.


I was just done reading Train Man. So I can finally start reading Twilight. The next time I go shopping for
books I must remember to buy Breaking Dawn, for both Dawn and me, due to our pre-set deal. Also if my
budget allows, The Diving Pool, by Osada Yoko. I wanted to pick it up the other day, but Twilight coupled with Train Man already tallied more than RM 100. And RM 100 doesn't come by easily. I wish the teachers at
school will understand this one fact. Train Man was a great read. I am currently practicing ASCII art! It's kinda fun, though tough for a beginner like me.


I dig bread. I dig pastries. I love confectionaries. As if to satisfy my lust for bread, a new bakery popped up in Kuching! I'd scream "Kyaaaaaaaa~~~" about anytime now. Actually I've already been there a few times, and it's over a week old already, so it ain't much of something new to the city people, especially those who live in the Bormill area ... *cough* Michael *cough*. It's called The Gingerbread House. It's actually a bakery cafe. I've always dreamed of owning one in the future as my main profession, with writing as part-time. After I find someone to succeed my business, only then will I retire and take up full-time writing. I think TGH has a really warm, fuzzy and kind of bittersweet ambience, which is all good. I like the music that is played as well. One can even feast on their meal outdoors. The selection of food is pure delish, and so are the drinks. I recommend the Cinnamon Raisin Danish and the Yin Yang. They go well together. The one con of that place is that it lacks
space. Yeah, space. It's a good thing that a shop's popular and attract many customers, but not when the
shop's all cramped up with severely limited moving space. Whenever I'm there, I'm bound to get stuck in the 'traffic'. Even my Breakthrough's of no use. In case you don't know, Breakthrough is my natural ability to slip
past incoming obstacles. Witnesses that can prove this are students of 2B/C/D as I use Breakthrough every school
day during lunch time. Given my body structure, being this flexible is kind of a surprise. Ironically, I
suck at gymnastics. Breakthrough is a special ability whereas my mind is capable of constructing the most logical path
of movement of someone or something, then construct one for myself that provides the smoothest form of moving through. For example, Edbert is standing in front of a rock which is
between
both of us. On the right side of the rock is a wall. So Edbert will most likely bypass the rock through the left, and that way, my muscles will spontaneously carve my body through whichever opening left with speed and efficiency. One weakness of this is when people are deliberately tring to block Breakthrough, which is possible by taking illogical paths of movement that my mind cannot predict. If I temper this ability more, it is possible to overcome this flaw. Also, it isn't a good idea to use on slippery terrain. The first time I used it on a slippery floor, I fell because swift movements are necessary. And swift movements aren't nice to you when there's little friction on the ground.


I suddenly feel like writing an acrostic poem. My random target is poor Dawn.

- Dawn Brittany Jerah -
by Wilson Liew

Dawn's my name
As you can see
Wilson's writin' bout me
Now for an intro!

Brittany's my middle name
Rings quite a glamour-filled resonance
Isn't that what you think?
To tell you the truth
There isn't much about me to know
Anyway, if you insist,
No disappointments I promise
Yummy, I love books so much I devour 'em

Jealous of my collection?
Elisa Kho's my cousin
Rawr- don't mess with her
All who did regretted it
Haha, pretty short intro much?

- end -

So cheesy, corny, and I'm sure I disappointed you. To be frank, I don't know much concerning Dawn to write about to begin with. Har. Har.

My friend, Chilli, sent in a request! He wants me to serve him up one unique, personal Stand! As I have said, my blog is INTERACTIVE, so send in requests and join mah contests, yarh? (Why am I speaking like this!?)

Name: Chilli
Stand: Fall To Pieces (Song by Avril Lavigne) (Sorry Chi I rejected your Stand name suggestion)
Abilities: FTP can produce flat, circular glowing glyphs anywhere Chilli wants. He usually produces them within something or someone. Anything on the sides 
(both front 
and back) will be deflected, separating them apart in a blast of invisible force
(impact of force varies depending on size of glyph created). Chi can use this to sever body parts, however it
will cause no injury at all, and the body's owner can control the separated parts at will. The latter rule excludes using the glyphs on unorganic substances, as things don't 
have their own 
mind to think. By undoing the glyphs, the separated parts will all merge together again with the original body. Should Chilli be able to use FTP's powers to great effect, he can easily stand his own in battle. As an example of sorts, he can produce a glyph on his wrist to blast apart him and the hand, resulting in the hand being shot forward, like a rocket fist. Given enough velocity, it can pack a punch (no pun intended). FTP's glyphs' effect also covers shapeless, non-solid substances such as liquids, or even air. This capability can be helpful when one least expects it - should Chilli or any ally fall from atall building for example, Chilli can produce a large glyph on the air below the body then quickly undo it, to propel the person up again.

Dawn also wants one.

Name: Dawn Brittany Jerah
Stand: Link (Song by L'arc en Ciel)
Abilities: Link enables Dawn to basically 'link' herself to practically anything. The sole requirement is to touch the thing she wants to 'link' with and then say the word "Linkage". She can experience whatever the linked item experiences, gain the effect of the item or even use the linked item
if it's a thing. For example, Dawn can link to a book, then mentally read it no matter where she is later. Further elaborating on this, she can make use of her linking abilities greatly given the wide variety of uses. She can link herself to another person, and can easily know where he or she is. Linking with webpages is also possible, and Dawn will be notified whenever there's an 
update.

When she needs healing, she can use a linked medicine. Linkages can also be expanded to other things or
people. As an example, Dawn can link herself to a man who is wearing a jacket, then add Wilson to the linkage, so both Dawn and Wilson will experience the warmth the jacket provides. Linkages can be altered as well, usually done when Dawn wants to link negative effects to enemies. So when linking with a steaming kettle, instead of linking to herself she can choose to link it with an enemy so the foe will get burns. Dawn can mentally erase linkages at will, and also 'store' multiple linkages in her mind, enabling her to freely choose what to link with. It is possible to link with more than 1 thing at a time. In that context, Dawn can link her arm to both a bullet and a handgun, then her arm will have strength equal to that of a fired bullet.

Phew ... I'm finally done. Thank you for sending in you requests, Chilli and Dawn! See you next time!
