About Me

Pseudo-intelligent. Happy-Go-Lucky. Occasional introvert. Semi extrovert. Loves to eat but incapable of gaining weight. Sweet-toothed. Failure of a socialite. Failure as a hikkikomori (basement-dweller). A wannabe paradox.

Thus far..

Well, well..been a busy (yet fun) week so far especially the weekend. I won't bore u wit d details of college life as most of my readers r aldy in coll, instead i'll skip straight to IFF!

In case you've been wondering IFF is an acronym for International Food Fiasco. It's a big deal for us ex-SSG students cos it's the one time of the year we can congregate in our beloved high-school whilst wearing anything we please (i think i saw sum1 going 4 a lolita look last yr...it wasn't pretty >.<"). Also we get to meet with old friends and even older teachers. For the benefit of a lousy traitors who didn't come, i met up wit 1. Luther, whose hairstyle is like Aang from Avatar, also he isn't manlier or anything (NS failure wakaka)
2. Ming, who isn't as tanned as i tot she would be, she is also suffering from post-NS humour deprivation and is laughing at my jokes...kinda reminds me of Aika Hiiragi of Mx0.
3. Kim, i also expected her to be more "tanned", unfortunately she was more sensible and did not laugh at all my jokes (T.T)
4. Siew Por, lugging around his huge camera as usual.
5. Zuhdi, also changed his hairstyle with much better results.
6. Chin Meng, this guy is....unchanged and better that way.
7. John, always a pleasure to talk to.


I must saw I'm a bit disappointed wit not being able to see En. Adenan. I got to meet Mrs. Andrew, Ms. Mano and Physics God Khoo-sensei. I also met the ever fierce Ms.Lim tho (i saw right through her cheerful facade). Yes, Rita. I did say hi for you...unfortunately she replied by forcing me to buy her currypuff.

Then came Sunday. It's very nice getting together with Josh, Ming, and Wei. Together we are collectively known as Skinny Bouncy L-mo cos Daryl (Skinny) + Ming (Bouncy) + Wei (L) + Josh (emo). Thus the greatest threat to world peace was born...we leave no candy, chocolate, tic tac, washing detergent store undefiled! Mwahaha!

Paradise Lost

No, this isn't about Milton's Paradise Lost, i'm talking bout MY lost paradise. Haiz...bros came back almost 2 weeks back. Fortunately the competition for computer territory wasn't as intense as before. (tnx to IFF for keeping my bro bz). Alas IFF is over and the competition are beginning to heat up!

As usual, i am the victor cos i can throw my seniority around! However since returning from Aus, they hvn't stop talking bout it as per usual. And as usual i would ignore them however this time is different! Why? Cos they got a chance to play Halo 3 !! *jealous* When I was there all i got to play was Gears of War. It's a nice game mind you but it's just not...Halo.

Hey guess wat! I've got really really BIG news for all y'all...my dad's company just gave us a sweet new E200 Kompressor! YAY!! Well, this is big news to me..once again, Mercedes-Benz has reaffirmed its position as my favourite car manufacturer.

Paradise Regain'd (again, not Milton's but mine)

For Jm:
As far as Eoin Colfer's books go, Airman is less whimsical than his Artemis Fowl books. It's more down to Earth and features no fairies, magic nor child prodigies..no wait, Airman does have yet another well-gifted young boy. The book has many references to medieval France and England, as well as fencing, aviation history but don't worry, there not very deep. In my opinion, the book could've and should've been longer. Overall, it's still a good read. I'd consider it slightly above Artemis Fowl but maybe dat's just cos Conor Broekhart is much more human than the untouchable Artemis Fowl (the guy got physically AND psychologically tortured, all b4 his 16th b'day). In case your already reading the novel, Uncle is my favourite character.

Breaking News!

!!!! Breaking News !!!!

I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!

At last, i have finished the last book in J.K Rowling's series! Albeit 311 days late. At least now i don't have to close my ears or leave the room to avoid spoilers.
Anyway I've also finished reading Airman and am currently reading Skeleton Key. As you all probably know, Skeleton Key is a Alex Rider book and therefore it's makes light reading. As i am about to finish it a new dilemma has arisen...i don't have anything else to read!! From having so much to read to nothing to read...this is not good...I can already feel the withdrawal symptoms appearing. Anyone has any good books to recommend/lend? I will accept any sci-fi, orwellian, dystopian, adventure or fiction genres.
Fortunately, the Internet has managed to stave of my hunger for more reading material. Currently reading Ouran and Alice Academy but i've finished reading Mx0. I'm incredibly annoyed by it's ending...actually it's more like the lack of it. Mx0 ended prematurely so you can just imagine the frustration of finally seeing the main character beginning to get more interesting then suddenly, the manga just stops. Gah!! Whoever made this comic is evil!! Why make a manga this interesting then just stop it like that!! Evil!!!
I've also finished the Alice Academy anime, does anybody know any other comedy anime like it? If so feel free to recommend. I've got nothing better to do wit my time...wait what was that? work? Oh yea..

Bookfest

Haha! What a day.

Today, Dad n i made our way to KL Convention Centre for the Popular Bookfest for some quality father & son time. Unfortunately we both split up after a few minutes of entering the exhibition halls but hey, at least we both had our own fun. This yr's bookfest is definitely an improvement from last year's. At least now the english books make up 1/3 of the exhibition. In the last one, half of the bookfest was chinese books and 1/4 was music CDs. As a result, the choices of english books wasn't dat wide. However, this year they had quite a nice selection. I couldn't be anymore happier. They even had a small Anthony Horrorwitz section. The only downside is dat they luv to overcharge on food and drinks but then again being a tourist trap, KLCC has always been a bit expensive. But the best new was yet to come!! Dad actually agreed to buy me the books i wanted!! w00t!! So now i've got:

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows [yes i noe i'm extremely l8 on this book. yes i noe i've become rusty after not touching a book for so long but cut me some slack...178pgs in 3hrs is still quite respectable rite? rite??]
(Harry + Ginny...awww)

2. Airman
[Another Eoin Colfer book. After reading all his Artemis Fowl books, i just gotta read this one.]

3. Alex Rider Skeleton Key
[Been wanting to read this for a super long time]

The more perceptive of you would probably notice that this list doesn't include dystopians (which, if u don't noe, is my favourite genre). On the contrary, are all under the "Young Adults" section which we all noe is just the bookshop's euphemism for "kids stuff". If you're thinkin that i'm reverting back to a childlike state when your wrong! That stage usually kicks in after a man is married (This is why ur moms always call their husbands "big babies"...at least mine does). Anyway, the sci-fi genre here was pitiful. Only one tiny shelf! Sux! At least the Starcraft novels caught my eye but other than dat it was downright dissapointing. They've got a more "How to draw manga charaters" books than the entire sci-fi selection!!

In any case, i'm still pretty happy wit these books i got..Now if you'll excuse me, Harry's interrogating Mundungus...don't wanna miss dat.

Freedom!

On Thursday night mom and my 2 bros left for Aus! This means dat from then till the 5th of June, i will be alone wit dad! N since dad has to go for work and consequently comes back late, i can hv a few extremely precious alone times every weekday to do anything i want! Wat's a boy to do with so much freedom? Unsurprisingly, when i posed this question to my good friend who will not be named, the first thing he said was "watch porn lah" [sic] (-_-")... Obviously this is out of the question when it comes to me. Besides, my Internet connection is far too slow to make that an enjoyable experience. I noe this because it takes ages just to load you-tube or crunchyroll videos...sigh..

Anyway, i was channel surfing the minute i got home on friday afternnoon while surfing the net. Den the ad for Alice Academy came up i tot to myself "WTF is dat?" So i crunchyrolled it. I noe it's supposed to a shōjo anime or wat not but dam i find it really funny. D way Mikan (over)react is so dam cute. So now i'm trying to watch the Alice Academy and Blood+ but my fucking Internet connection is making it so frustating!!! Maxis BROADBAND my ass!! My grandfather can write out the binary codes for the episode faster than this sucky thing loads!! Maxis Broadband sux balls!! It even blocks limewire! Gah!! So please, if you hv any way to remedy this situation, kindly do so before my bros gets back n i hv to wrestle them for control of the com.

Originally i tot being wit dad on the weekends would be a quiet afair since he's kinda like the quiet type. A likely scenario would've been sumtin like:

Morning
Dad: What's your plan for today?
Me: Nothing.
Dad: OK.
Both: ....

Noon
Dad: You hungry?
Me (while eating tidbits): Yes.
Dad: OK.
Both eats.

Night
Dad: You hungry?
Me (again while eating): Yes.
Dad: OK
Both eats.

Midnight
Dad: It's time for you to go to sleep.
Me: Nani? But..but..Alice Academy!!
Dad: NOW!
Me: (T_T) x 1000

Process continues for the remainder of d 2 weeks. Fortunately this didn't happen this week...At least not yet.

At least he took me to the Popular Bookfest today and 2morro to church and Kuen Cheng. Wonder wat'll he do next weekend?? Glee, glee!!
