My first guitar recording > Final Fantasy X - At Zanarkand

2007-07-27T19:47:00.000+10:00

I said that I would record something in the future, didn't know when. Well it turns out, it would be the day after I made that post. T_T

I plugged my guitar pedal into the comp, and it worked perfectly, so I was inspired to record something. So I chose to record 'At Zanarkand' a song from the game Final Fantasy X by Nobuo Uematsu.

I knew I wasn't going to get it 100% on the first recording, because simply, you always get real conscious about the fact that you are being recorded. Well, it took me around 20 damn recordings to get it 'satisfactory'. Well, I woudn't even call this satisfactory. While not recording, I can play this properly, maybe not 100% perfect, but much more better than this. This song starts off easy then gets hard simply because of the lack of pauses in the last quarter of the song.

I will record another version again, as this version is definately not worthy to be kept. But it is a good first recording I would say. Anyways, I was eager to show the world how I can play after about eight months of self-taught guitar. Maybe the next song I will record will be a jap-rock song, most likely Haruka Kanata from Asian Kung Fu Generation. So easy, and quite hard to make mistakes~!

Last Day of the First Week of Uni

2007-07-26T23:14:00.001+10:00

Comparing with the first day of uni that I had (refer to previous post), I definately have not been having consecutive best days of my life - but nevertheless, they are still good days. Weather has been great this past week, considering it is the middle of winter yeh?

So far I have sold off all my textbooks, excluding microeconomics and my IS textbooks. If you want a micro book, please or any other books. Don't fail to ask me~!

So selling off books, I have also purchased most of my books, excluding macroeconomics - the shame and irony. I'm planning to do real well this semester, it has come to the point where I am determined to get H1s for all of my subjects this semester, well at least one H1 in commerce, since I haven't had one yet. :(

I have planned, and "actionised" (if that's a word) my path to success on this difficult quest.

I read readings before the week.

I do all tute work before the tute.

I even use the uni diary - yes you heard me. I kid you not.

I also even put all my lectures and diary and calculator into this folder that I put into my bag.

I'm trying to bring back those VCE habits that I had. Hopefully planning out study will also allow me to effectively balance a healthy social life along with my scholastic studies. Thunder just broke out when I wrote scholastic. =_= If it rains tomorrow, I swear it's to balance out the good weather that I have been enjoying since I have no uni tomorrow. XD HAR HAR

High school friends were out to watch 'The Simpsons' movie, I declined as I had econs (econometric) lecture, which turned out useful I would say. Last lecture, and I got out with 30mins till the next bus home.

Didn't know when my friends would get out of the movies, sms'd them during lecture, but no reply. So I decided to walk back to city from uni, call me weird or whatever, I enjoy walking back to the city from uni. I do it regulary. Most of the time I walk, I spend it speed-walking from class to class in a feeling of hurry. So, when I walk back to the city, I take my sweet time to stretch out those 30mins and just spend it quietly thinking and watching everything go around me.

As I reached RMIT, I got a msg back and it turns my friends just out of the movie. Met them for a chat, then dinner. Had 'Koay Teow', which I had no idea what it meant. I ain't malaysian and I aint hokkien - someone should've jsut told me it was HOR FUN. I saw the word spicy and thought "I gotta have it", but it wasn't even spicy. *sigh*

Good times. Was with Josh, Shawn, Denton, Wye-keen and of course, who could forget. Ladon or Ivan or Jack or whatever name he uses now; I think we'll call him 'Cynthia' *props to Denton for the name*.

So Friday is coming up, I'm gonna plan the afternoon for study, to catch up on readings and do tute work. HAHA, my dog is whining and trembling coz of the thunder. Poor Buddy.

Remind me to post a picture of my dog Buddy. Increased Demand = Increased Urgency to Post.

Rained hard for a few minutes. But moving along, if I haven't mentioned this already at some stage. Probably not. I bought my first guitar pedal. Zoom G1X.

Japanese pedal, and man it makes my electric guitar sound awesome. I think I am getting to the stage where I will record some of my playing. Don't know when that will exactly be though.

I think I'll just conclude this post, with two songs I have recently been really into. One is quite old and only just discovered it myself, the other is quite new, related to a new anime I am watching (Claymore) Wiki for further info. It is also the Anime that the song Guilty Sky - Kosaka Riyu comes from, that I posted earlier on.

Red Rocket Rising - BeForU
Can't find a better version of this T_T

23.07.07 The best day at uni I've ever had

2007-07-23T19:49:00.000+10:00

Thanks to Simin *waves*, I've decided to resurrect this blog once more, instead of the useless youtube post every now and then.

Today was the first day of uni for this semester, and weather was perfect. Instead of describing it all over again, I'll copy and paste it out of a convo I had with Simin - I'm lazy and I don't care XD.

1. bus comes early but arrive at uni early, get a seat
2. someone kicked football into my direction by accident, caught it, and moved along
3. had a tute, nice tutor, good room, tute was easy and understandable
4. met up with a high school friend i havn't seen in months for lunch, took up the 2 hours free I had coz no tutes that time
5. Had bus fi lecture, and I was actually listening, not bored and actually interested
6. got on tram, without waitin for another tram
7. bus came real quick, and i got a seat even though it was peak hour 5pm
8. got home, my guitar stuff (capo and peg winder) i ordered came back today
9. westpac bank sent me account details so that I can open my account tomolo
10. no homework

you can add 11. for good weather.

Might not sound so awesome to some people, but everything went perfect. Hopefully this semester is going to remain the same, I'm going to make it an effort to be so.

加油!加油!加油!

Bring this semester on, OSU~!

Just wanna say....

2006-12-11T00:21:00.000+11:00

Get out of my head,
Out of my mind, out of my sight.
I can't deny, the thoughts in my mind.
It doesn't make sense, why does it have to be you
to happen again......this time?

Just wanna be friends, just wanna hang out,
nothing intimate, just have a good a time
But these feelings in my heart, uncontrollable
They force me to say.....just wanna say

that i love you, that i need you
that things have grown to the point that
i can't be without you. the mind, the heart
they battle it out, what outcome will become of this?

these words repeat in my heart
like a drop of water in a pond
moving me with each wave,
each thought, about you.
but i can't fend it off,
its the truth, and its final.

i dont want this, i just wanna be friends,
coz what we have now is enough for me
i dont think u realise that you've grown on me
they way you act around me, is proof enough
it's so casual, so relaxed, but u're like that with other guys
i know that for fact - but i feel its different
can you please, just please tell me
that these feelings aren't just one sided..just wanna say

that i love you, that i need you
that things have grown to the point that
i can't be without you. the mind, the heart
they battle it out, but the only outcome is that
....that i love you.

Crown Casino interview

2006-11-22T14:48:00.000+11:00

Ok, so this wednesday I drove to the intersection of City Rd and Power St in Southbank to do my first job interview (i.e. as dealer for Crown). There was a 5min 60 question maths test involving addition/subtraction/division/multiplication of numbers and money. You wern't expected to finish it, and I got about 2/3 of it done. They gave a little talk about the good and bad of being a dealer then we waited in the 'Break room' for one-on-one interviews.

I don't freaking believe it, but it just had to be me as the last person to be interviewd =.=" 15 people there, and I was probably within the middle of them in terms of who arrived when. Lucky for me, I got chosen last *explodes*. It was probably karma, I felt really impatient during the whole time waiting.

The interview was pretty cool as well. The first thing they got me to do was pile casino chips up by their colour as fast as possible and then to pick up a pile of chips with my hand. So easy =.=" I must be like dou-sun or something. hahaha.

Then the boring standard interview questions. They got me to do a 2nd interview this friday. I'll probably go. My plan of action is to do the 6 weeks full time training (paid of course XD), then quit afterwards hahaha. If I have to sign a contract to work after my training, I'll just reject it. Well there you go.

*UPDATE*
Well, it seems I have passed the 2nd round interview with flying colours. Interviewer said I was very mature and I will go a long way - not just in Crown Casino, but in life. HAHA, I AM WINNER~! Anyways, I got a medical check up on wednesday and I think I'm set afterwards. No tests though :( I wanted to handle some more casino chips. Well, I got to be off now, meeting up with NorthShore friends for dinner in city. We will see if I'm successful or not XD

*UPDATE UPDATE*
Well, I had my medical check up for Crown. Doctor says I am healthy and that was it. Not much to it. Not much of an update either. Just waiting to decline crown offer hehe, and if I don't get it. It wont matter.

*UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE ( FINAL UPDATE )*
Crown Casino called me up at about noon today (7.12.06) when I was at Denton's house with Josh. They said I was successful! However, I reject them, because I don't want to do 6 weeks full time training during holidays and have bad shift hours like 8pm till 4am. Anyways, this proves that I'm awesome at interviews, so jobs that I will be applying for in the future, I should have no problem. HAHA AWESOME XD

hirruken.anime

2006-11-21T20:44:00.000+11:00

There's a great new anime I'm watching now. It's called DeathNote. It's about shinigami's but in no way similar to Bleach's take on them. A book called a 'DeathNote' is left in the human world, and monster shinigamis are left in the void somewhere in between heaven and hell to rott for all eternity. They actually do nothing. However, one day a straight-A student picks up the DeathNote and begins to "cleanse" the world of evil people, proclaiming himself as the new god. Panic occurs throughout the world from sudden mysterious deaths of criminals and the world is now after him.

Here's a bit of the 1st episode of DeathNote, there's even a live action movie.

hirruken.digitalART (Dark Matter)

2006-11-12T17:05:00.000+11:00

Four months of holidays means I have time to try new things. Since I love digital art and making backgrounds, I decided to learn how use 3dsMax for 3d modelling. The piece below is after about one hours worth of exploring the program with the help of tutorials. Making this, it gave off a really sci-fi kind of feel, so I decided to make it into an almost promotional wallpaper for an up and coming tv series, that I invented. i.e. It doesn't exist!

Anyways, here it is, you should go to my deviantart page (http://nexus04.deviantart.com) or click the link below for a better high quality version (1280x1024) or to even check out my other works. You can also use this as a background if you like it that much =.=" Feel free to comment.

.hirruken: the post of 36 days late

2006-10-17T23:18:00.000+10:00

Gah, it's been so long since my last post. Never got the energy to do another post but after studying hardcore for the past 3 days with about 6 hours average and now listening to initial d music, I've suddenly got the motivation to do another post. Seriously, if you ever need to spring life back into yourself listen to Initial D music.

anyways, quite a bit of stuff has happened since my last post. I got my car =.=" Holden Astra, its a company lease car so it's a new car and I can exchange every year for another car. Took two photos with my v3, but since v3 has crap camera I'm gonna shrink the pictures.

Don't stop reading here :P If you keep reading, you'll find a funny cute jap video (kawaii attack)

It's got great handling, good suspension but engine is kind of weak. I sometimes floor it all the way with little response. Stupid 4-speed automatic, I am definately going to get manual car after first 3 years of Ps. Also, one stereo system is pathetic, low bass and clarity. When I get my own car, I am definately replacing them, IT MUST HAVE BASS *DOOF DOOF* XD

Ahh, speaking of my car, I dropped my friend Tony (from Stats tute) to gym on the way home, on the way out of the undercover-parking he thought I ran over a bird~! I was like 'wtf..no way', and he's like 'maybe it was some black debris rolling onto the ground'. Get home and I check all my wheels, no blood, no feathers, no dead bird. Phew, must've been a rubbish bag or maybe it some plastic bottle.

Also, people at Monash are so crap at parking. No-one knows how to park straight =.=" Try and find spot outside and everyone is parked on an angle so I don't find any space where I can park straight until I reach the near end of the area. What the hell is wrong with ppl, have some skill =P

So, the first year of uni has just finished and exams are coming. I got three exams in three consecutive days aiii......At least, we get 4 month holiday XD - longer than VCE. Must find part-time job and become rich (as if). But I have found a job, I'll be working at election office during election night, 7:30am till late (probably 11pm) - phuooar, so many hours you say? I say 'BRING ON THE PAY' kakaka.

Enough with boringness, what about tricking? XD. Unfortunately, not a lot of tricking at all, study etc etc. But with this 4 month holiday, comes HARDCORE TRICKING, yeh Rob?!. I'm going to make more progress, have to.

Only tricking video I got is of me doing kickup (kipup) with and without hands. Not as flash as my backflip attempt, but still something. By the way, watch as I "dig" my head into the ground on the 2nd kick up. LOL WHAT WAS I THINKING? >.<

Kinda random, but I've noticed that my english has gone worse and worse since year 12. Take the following as example hehe:

will . h i r r u k e n - D.Pic look at me i'm a slide =.=" says:
they are supposedly know him quite well, as they got tickets to his movie

'` яoввїзz ' [я.c] .. sG.5 says:
thats some fluent fob u spoke there

Well it's just past midnight now, and I'm trying to not sleep late. Can't think of anything else anymore, so I'll just leave it there.

Oh yeh, I can't be stuffed updating my anime thing. But I've been watching a new anime called 'Hikaru no Go'. For those damn otaku-people, I know it aint new-new, but I havn't seen it before. And if I havn't mentioned Initial D; yes, I finished watching that as well.

blah~!

Can't believe I forgot this! Video of jap girl learning English very funny and soo freaking cute. Make sure you watch the others with her. Search "mari english lesson surprise" in youtube, she's got such an attitude =P . I'm gonna explode from cuteness >.<

hirruken.tricking

2006-09-21T18:15:00.000+10:00

Few weeks ago I found out my friend does tricking, for those who don't know what tricking is, click here.

Last week, was the first of my tricking experiences with my friend Rob ^^. He showed me 540 and bkick (butterfly kick), yet I've still to even get to a signifcant level with them (especially 540 >.<) . However, I also tried out backflips for the first time last week with Rob and Henry (two fellow trickers), and I didn't do bad at all. Landed the first two quite well, but the other two were kind of sloppy. This thursday, Rob introduced me to Billy (who also tricks), and we went to do some tricking during our break. But the significant part of this day, was that I recorded my assisted-backflip. With the help of spotters: Rob and Billy, and Alvin recording, this is what my 5th or 6th attempt at backflip looks like:

While it's an assisted-backflip and not cleanly landed, I'm still really happy with what I've got now. More practice and I'm sure I'll be able to do it without help soon - can't freaking wait till that day comes. haha, getting pumped from making this blog entry.

Note: A BIG thanks to Rob for intro'ing me to the tricking world, and teaching tricks so well XD - thanks a lot man, seriously, really grateful I'm getting into the tricking world. Oh yeh, he's the guy in the white in the vid.

Hopefully I can get really far, but that'll take a lot of determination and grass stains HAHA~!

Comment away and peace out XD

.hirruken long awaited update

2006-09-08T14:55:00.001+10:00

hirruken:
Yeah, it's been ages since my last update. Let me check how long.........hah! only 15 days. But it seems such a long time ago since I updated. Well, I've been busy with assignments for the past month. An assignment for each week.

1. Statistics
2. Database (but got extended for one more week)
3. Network (meaning, I had two assignments due that week)
4. Bus.law (and by far the more challenging of assignments, finished this week, and handed in today!)

With stats assignment, I got it back today as well, and got 12/20. Sounds quite char but that's like a 60%, meaning Credit! Tutor said that the highiest mark was like 14-15/20, so it's good enough for me. Stats doesn't make sense anyways, we just get told to do this, make sure this is lower than this value, which proves this is wrong or right. We actually don't understand why we do this - which makes Stats stupid.

Database and network, I havn't got back yet, but I'm not really interested about that. I'm more interested in the assignment for bus.law that I handed in today. Two case studies, 1000 and 1500 words each. But all together, I summed up to 3000 words for the essay. While hard to start, it was pretty interesting seeing how law can be "twisted" or used to help you or make you pay. I hope I get a very high mark, because I put in a lot of effort into this. With stats though, I put in effort, but did not really have any clear idea of what I was doing, so I deserve this XD

anime:
Because I havn't updated my blog in ages, that means the updates for anime has basically died. I didn't watch anime on a regular basis this past month, usually download at the end of the week. Anyways, it seems lots of anime eps have been released. Naruto (who cares), Bleach (oh yeh...), School Rumble? (not even sure...cbs checking wannabefansubs releases, find other sources) and Akagi! 3 more eps, forgot all about this anime. can't wait. DOOUUUU SUUUNNN (賭神). Anyways, check the side bar now, there's updates again.

series:
I don't usually watch HK series, only ones I was interested in watching was 新鲜人 (English title: Green Hope) and 迷情家族 (Greed Mask) - why did the both english names start with Gree? ........ Anyways, I found another one, while it's not really series, it's more a TV show like iron chef. It's called 美女厨房 (Beautiful Cooking), and it has 3 female celebrity stars do an iron-chef styled battle, and have 2 unknown pretty girls cook and catwalk for battle. Most of the time, it's always pretty girls XD (explodes), and most suck at cooking. I don't watch it to stare at the girls, I watch it for the funny reactions and comments made by the judges (including celebrity male judges), also the way the girls (who have no idea how to cook) cook. One girl ended up causing the wok to catch on fire so high, it must've been at least 1m in height SOOO FARRRNIIII. Anyone who can understand canto, MUST get this show. Too bad the series has ended, oh well, it had a good run.

ADP field trip soon:
That's right! I'm going to ADP this thursday, but will return back to uni for stats lecture. GAH, i'm going to be wearing a suit in uni....*silence*.... XD ging~!

spring:
Oh and spring is finally here. It felt so awesome the first week with the bright sun. Winter was too cold, and I had no motivation to blog.

I now can finally say I dont think winter is the best season. It's either spring or autumn (havn't decided yet, ask me when autumn comes again). For those who don't know, winter was my favourite season because I liked the feeling of breating in crisp air, and the fact that you can control the temperature. With summer, heat is uncontrollable no air-con can defeat it *damn you*, but with winter, ducted heating, more layers of clothing is enough - you can't take off lots of layers of clothing in summer, or else I'd be committing a crime..in public XD

mini break for now:
So because of that long battle with assignments the past month, it seems that the next week or two is like a mini break (I have another stat assignment, which hopefully I can get HD, gahahaha). Shawn's birthday is coming up (Happy 19th Shawn), and mid semester break is in 3 weeks time. Rob, uni-friend, is going to intro me to some trickers (as he is one himself) during the break. Hopefully I'll be able to do tonnes of stunts with just one gathering. Right now, I'm just trying to do a kick-up on solid ground - i can only do it on a bed. Extreme martial arts...damn XD, the karate I did was never into fancy moves, it was all solid and defined movements (including fluid), I guess it was more practical. But learning karate wasn't for the awesome tricks, it was just to learn some self-defence and exercise during high school. I'm still loyal to karate, learning to trick is just a great way to make exercise fun again and show off (buahahaaha).

and finally:
As with all my significant blog entries, I'll put a youtube video down. But since it's like I havn't posted in ages, I feel lots of videos deserved to be put up. Yesterday, I saw some funny pet (more cat) videos, check them out.

Well that's it for me, BLAH~!

P.S if you're curious, 1039 words

Cat v Dog = cat wins with no fear:

ROFL, this is funny as, stupid cactus cat (whack whack whack)

This isn't really funny (but his name is Burger :P), more freaky, I feel sorry for it, the cat must've been abused badly :( :

Seen this before, but it's still funny seeing pets talk so well:

You thought I got over my love of jap videos (haha, think hard, AV)..looks so freaky:

Check out the exercising walrus and smart ass dog (translation: don't go on the table):

2006 BIS Field Trip cries

2006-08-24T17:05:00.000+10:00

I cannot believe it. I didn't get into PwC >.< DIE!!!!!! I am going to ADP (Automatic Data Processing), such a crappy name. And it's in Mulgrave...What the hell, M U L G R A V E! There was NAB, Deloitte and PwC - all in the city, and I have this pathetic place. I feel like the first day I went to Monash. With Melb Uni in the city, I realise Monash is out in the suburbs. =.="

I DON'T WANT TO ROCK UP IN A BUSINESS SUIT IN MULGRAVE...

Well, hopefully it'll be better than I expect.

Industry field trip + anime

2006-08-17T15:20:00.000+10:00

Pretty tired from the Statistics assignment I did last night, don't know why. Maybe because I had to wake up for 9am in two consecutives days. I am hopefully going on a field trip to industry partners of Monash BIS (Business Information System) .

They include the following:

AWB Limited
Coles Myer Ltd (why not...)
National Australia Bank (good money?)
Smorgon Steel Distribution (mehh...)
Telstra Corporation (don't really care for telstra)
AXA Australia (oooh, skyrise)
IBM Australia (throw this one away)
GE Money (riiight...)
Accenture (not bad)
Deloitte (interested)
PricewaterhouseCoopers (OH MY GOD, YES PLEASE!)

Well, that's all I'll say for today. Quite tired, and can't be stuffed with anymore at the moment.

Oh, and there are new Bleach (ep.93) and Naruto (ep.197) episodes out. Enjoy the links on the right~!

And I'll even add a youtube video to this blog entry as well,

Quite funny, if you want to listen to some other songs, go to Media>Audio and find Hong Kong heartbreak (not a song, but what the guy says is so funny), then listen to Dim Sum Girl.

Not much has happened this week, or since last entry blog. Maybe it's because I can't remember much! XD Anyways, I played foosball first time this week, and played it again today. Pretty fun. Me thinks I've got good defence, but I can't flick my wrist fast enough to shoot fast. Damn, the pro's should play badminton then - they'd kill with that speed.

I also played Tekken 5 arcade, and I think I'm going to become addict to that too =.=" It feels much more better than playing on PS2, almost feels natural (doesn't mean I'm pro...). So great, now I'm addicted to so many things since uni started.

1. Pool - not AS addicted anymore, since there's more stuff to be addicted to (minus the drugs)
2. Initial D - thank Ian for getting me into it, arcade AND PS2 version. HAHAHA
3. Daytona - I'm back into that game, I found the perfect shift combo to use when making turns, but I can't do clean drifts yet in that game. XD
4. Foosball - fast, and great to watch when the ball just flies across the table/field multiple times...
5. Tekken 5 - may be a bit too late to get addicted to it, but it's not like it's going to dissapear soon from Monash underground. That's what I've decided to call it.

By the way, did anyone know that the 2nd level of Monash campus centre is called 'airport lounge'? I didn't know that, and when you think about it, it makes a hell of a lot of sense.

I've also been driving tonnes now since I got my Ps. Yesterday was the worst. Yeah, I think that summed it up pretty well. My mum picked me up from Blackburn station, and I drove home. Then I think my mum picked up my brother and sister from school. So that gave me about 30min break. Then I drove my brother to piano lesson by myself - maybe my mum finally trusts me to drive alone. *shrugs* She won't have to worry once I get that car that's coming in September. Anyways, 30mins later, I picked up my brother from piano lesson, but directly went to Box Hill to pick up my big sister from tuition. Once that was done, I had to drop off my big sister and brother home, and pick up my little sister for some school concert thing. (Balwyn has so many extra(co)curricular stuff that it's insane - and its compulsory)

All in all, I drove around since 2pm till 10pm with a 1.5hr and 30min breaks in between. Exhausting =.=" Still, driving is fun *slams the accelerator*

Heh, I've written quite a lot even if it seems not a lot happened....who knows.

Just watched another YouTube with jap people. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a jap wannabe, but anything on YouTube that is cool/interesting is nearly always made by jap people.

Japanese girl goes on a quest to eat up to 40,000kcal of food. What is surprising is how much that stomach can hold in that skinny cute girl XD

I won't post a preview of this, but it's really funny for people who can understand canto. Snow White cartoon, but dubbed in canto with Snow White's face covered with some ugly looking girl. Anyways, the prince talks about how he wants to throw her away (she is sleeping in the tomb or whatever) and the dwarves disagree but then agree with him. HAHA LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0Pn_pc3QB4

That's all I have for today, bleh~!

Anime: big release!

Long post since long time...

2006-07-17T19:47:00.000+10:00

Havn't posted for a long time, that's because I've gotten lazy. Holidays have ended and my first day back at uni just finished. But before I go into my day at uni, I'll talk about what I did during the holidays since my last blog entry.

Played Mahjong at Ian's place quite a few times
Went to Shawn's place for a high school get-together, played pool on crappy quality tables (yes, they suck Shawn) But overall, it was a good time. Can't really remember anything memorable, except that Ladon sang as awesome as he normally did - toneless droning.
Then went out to Crown with normal highschool friends (Josh, Shawn, Denton, Ladon (yes, Malaysian Idol here we come) and Chinese school friend: Jason - havn't seen him for ages). Just hanged out and talked, we also realised how girl-hungry Josh is (thanks Evelyn for the perfect word).

I don't remember anything else that happened.

With my first day back at uni, I had 'Business Law' tute and 'Database' lecture.

MY BUSINESS LAW TUTOR TARGETS ME
He asked what other faculties we belonged to. People said, science, engineering, only buseco - and me and my friend said IT. First instant comment from him was "Havn't they closed down that faculty yet?" *vein pop* Not like I really care, it's not like I love IT (got sick of it in year 10).

Then he makes jokes about each faculty, saying IT students don't get girlfriends. He also then makes joke about Engineering don't know how to interact with people - I think Science was the same. He also made us write a paragraph about what we think law is in our opinion (to test our english, in case we need help with our writing). When he came to read mine, he said it was fine; but before that, he asked me "Do you smile?". In my head was "WTF", but I replied "What? yes...". Then he talks about how he hates sourfaces ~_~

He also then talks about how he gives people nicknames because he forgets the real name. So then I heard a mention of sourface again (he was definately talking about me). Soon after, he talks about the people sitting at the front to move up (the tables are set in a U shape in front of the teacher), because he can 'target' them instead of people who are being targetted all the time. His finger was pointing to me the whole time he explained that - *angry fist*.

He is funny, but he is also a bastard. Hopefully, he can teach because he sounds like he can. I hear Bus.Law is hard too.

Anyways, after I had Database lecture. Our lecturer is a bearded country man. That's how I'd describe him. He looks like he just came from Outback Australia and into Melbourne. Why on earth is this man teaching me a computer subject like Database?! Two hours was bad, but it wasn't as bad as my 1hr Computer System lecture last semester (Thank god that's over).

Speaking of last semester, I did pretty good.

Accounting : C
Marketing : D
Computer System : HD
Computer Programming : HD

Finally, that's all I'm going to blog about - maybe for quite some time. Oh, last Bleach episode wasn't that good. *Please don't turn into a Naruto!* Blah~!

PS. I've seen a lot of funny youtube.com video's. I'll post a few up now!

Japanese people must be have so much time on their hands, but that's why we have Final Fantasy!

EDIT: changed layout, is it better?

Havn't posted for a while, and I thought this would be a good entry to keep this blog fresh. I was looking through a friend's pictures on myspace and I noticed these really good raw sunset photos, so I thought I'd take a shot at photoshoping it. I quite like how it turned out.

It's actually a picture of a sunset, but manipulated so that it looks like an explosion. Tell me what you think of it, thanks!

2006-06-28T21:05:00.000+10:00

Havn't posted for a while, but there hasn't been much to post about. Well, on Tuesday me and the Northshore group went to play tennis and then spend the rest of the day playing mahjong haha. We played tennis in the early morning *yawn*, and then we went to BH for some lunch. A few days before that, we went to play badminton at Monash. Anyways, came back to Ian's house and played mahjong. I have just realised that I suck at mahjong for one of two reasons:

I have the worst of luck during the day, or;
I don't think logically when playing the game.

I realised this because I didn't win a single game for about five hours - and we were only playing for 1 fan! Then at night, I won 3 games within the same period of time while we were playing for 2 fan. But, by that time I was thinking about the game, which I may have not been doing during the day. Anyways, it was fun.

While I wasn't playing mahjong, I was Initial-D'ing (new term haha). Playing Initial D on Ian's PS2 was awesome fun. I freaking love drifting, so much better than normal racing - to me, it has a natural feel, because you let the car do the work later when you are in the turn. We were also playing Intial-D at Timeout at BH after lunch; which is better than console version (of course).

Two of my friend's decided to stay over for the night at Ian's place, and I decided to walk across the road instead to sleep. IT MAKES MORE SENSE! I might as well sleep in my own bed, when I live on the freaking other side =.= Well, the next day, I went back to Ian's place so that we could all go out for Steven's 19th (one of the friends from Northshore). But before that, 3 quick games of mahjong (no win though T_T). We went to have lunch at an Malay restaurant at MelbCent which looks like a cafe on the first level (I think it was though). Funny though, it was a Malay restaurant, and lots of people ordered Jap food. Gyoza, terriyaki etc etc. They also had this giant wine glass about a meter high. Even if it was like 3cm thick, I swear you could break it by tapping it.

After lunch, we were not sure what to do before the movie (which we decided was 'Click'). Wanted to go play pool but Kingpin is like $4 per game which is such a ripoff, Ian said Strike was only $2. Well we didn't play pool and we went shopping. There were about 14/15 of us there - including Steven's friends from his high school. Jo-ann messaged me asking why I was in the city with Ian and Steven, which was freaky. First thought was S T A L K E R, it was too weird. -__-

Finally, we watched Click which is a good movie, funny and emotional, it reminded me of 'Night before Christmas' or whatever, with the Humbug Scrooge, where the ghosts of past, present and future come. You'll have to see it to know what I mean.

When Click ended, we all split our ways and went home. That's pretty much it for now. BLAH~!

Oh yeah, I've decided to put a video in all of my major blog entries. So here's a video of Utada Hikaru beating some guy at Tetris on a game show. Hilarious reaction when Hikaru beats the guy. XD

Anime: Bleach episode 86

Anime: Yakitate! Japan

2006-06-21T13:43:00.000+10:00

Haha, my previous posts have been about anime, but I've been on an anime-frenzy because of the holidays. New anime called 'Yakitate! Japan' thanks to Denise for intro'ing it to me. It's about a boy who can make awesome bread with his Solar Hands (Hands that are naturally very warm) and his quest to develop a bread that is worthy of being called 'Japan' - a national bread.

Anyways, it's a very funny anime and the 2nd EP for the anime is just so awesome. I've attacheda video of it here. Mind you, it's disco'd styled and it reminds me of Bust-a-Groove on PS1. Check the original version if you don't like disco styled. I don't really enjoy disco, but the video is just too good. Check it out....gah~!

P.S Also included Yakitate! Japan on my 'Anime Episodes' links, but the anime is already finished (episode 69), which I'm not up to yet. Still, it's a great anime.

Anime verision (EP)

This song is actually really awesome, I can't wait to pump it out in my car (Don't have one yet, imagine the subwoofer power). Anyways, here are the lyrics to the whole song.

Anime: Naruto episode 189 + Akagi episodes 10 and 11

2006-06-19T22:32:00.000+10:00

Naruto episode 189 has just been released by Dattebayo, download link is availible on the right side bar of this page. Not that anyone really cares about Naruto anymore - stupid fillers. Bittorrent links only~!

The Triad have also just had a double release of Akagi episodes 10 and 11. Thanks to them~! It takes so long for them to release it, and they ended up giving double dose this week! But its understandable why it's taking so long. Mahjong rules have to be explained and researched, but thankfully there is an subbing group that's taken the time to sub this great anime.

hirruken.exams.holidays

2006-06-19T15:25:00.000+10:00

My final exam finished this Monday, and it was definately the hardest one. I studied quite a bit even if it was just cramming in one night, I covered plenty but the exam wasn't just about how much you knew, but how much you understood it - for the achievers of Computer Science. Clearly, I don't care about Computer Science, but it's a shame that I couldn't do that well. Oh well, it's not that I deserve to do well anymore, I clearly don't put in the effort, and I clearly look like I don't care anymore too. Sounds a little depressing, but that's because I'm listening to a depressing Utada Hikaru song.

Well holidays have officially begun for me, about a month worth of holiday - please let me spend the time wisely: I want as much time having fun XD~! Plan to see good high school friends and go to friend's Pool place to have long hours of pool table fun. Love the game. Can't believe I got hooked on it so much again, play it at least once a week during uni, twice normally and 3 times if i'm lucky.

I've also re-decided that I'll become a tutor. I didn't have much confidence in myself after receiving my score, sure it's a good score, but what student whats a 97 uni student tutor? I definately wouldn't. But most people have convinced me otherwise, and I'll give it another chance. Become an IPM (Information Processing and Management..that's IT) tutor, because I got an awesome raw score for it without doing any significant work. Next, I'll see if I'll become a Maths Methods tutor for year 11 students - another year/subject of maths that I found extremly relaxing. I thank Mr.Maher for this. And finally, tutoring year 12 students - which I don't think I'll ever reach doing.

Anyways, I feel emotional for some reason: I blame Utada Hikaru's new album. Enjoy the holidays everyone, new horizon has awaken to us that leads us to greater things in the future. gah~!

PS. I've dropped the formal rigid speaking, I decided I don't care about it anymore and I'm more comfortable typing in the way I'm use to. (But I'm not going to start blogging like I chat, chat is for chat, blog can be a bit more rigid XD)

巴士阿叔 - Bus Uncle

2006-06-17T12:47:00.000+10:00

While this is actually quite old, I thought it was still blog-worthy. The video attached is a video phone recording of an argument between a young man and an old man on a public bus in Hong Kong. The old man - who now will be forever called 'Bus Uncle' - was talking too loud on his phone and the young man patted his shoulder to tell him to quite down. Then the real action begins and he begins to blow this small incident into something that would cause an internet sensation over on youtube.com, HK news and the asian population.

巴士阿叔 is said to be an unemployed man who receieves welfare payment from the Government. He has also attempted (three times) to become HK Chief Executive - which is the equivalent of President. Anyways, he has caused a sensation that has even led to the creation of remixes of rap music and commercial TV ads in HK.

I've only attached the original video (that includes Bilingual subtitles), if you would like to find more videos regarding Bus Uncle, follow the related links once clicking on the original video.

Love Anime. Simple as that, it is the cartoon for older people and that doesn't mean pensioners but for young adults and adults - I'm only 18. Me and my siblings have been following quite a few anime series for the past year.

They include:

'Naruto' - can it get any worse now with its fillers?
'Bleach' - it has fillers like Naruto, but boy are they watchable!
'School Rumble : 2nd Semester' - As funny as the first series, I can't wait for more.
'Akagi' - a Mahjong anime (Chinese poker tiles for the non-asian people) that captures the atmosphere and exciting of real Mahjong games.

At the moment, that's four animes for four days of the week. And I don't intend on stopping at four. It might sound a little crazy, but it still isn't enough! I'll be finding at least 3 more animes, so that I have an anime a day. hehe, it's not as freaky as you might think. It's like people who are addicted to 24, Lost, Prisonbreak and such. I'm currently looking into Yakitate!! Japan for my siblings and Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu. Hopefully they are as funny as they seem, especially, Haruhi with their dancing ending. For those who don't know, I've attached a video of it! *sigh* Should be studying for my last uni exam, but I'm here making a blog. Oh well~! XD

And so an internet craze begins...

2006-06-16T21:34:00.000+10:00

I'm not sure how popular this blog will become. It may drop like a Japanese sumo, or fly higher than any Pokemon craze in Grade 6. Nevertheless, let the games begin...
