Hello! Hello!

Time's been passing by unusually faster than the norm. It's already the end of February... then March... then April. There's so much going on lately... and so much more to come. Hm, I'm kinda not ready.

First off Tales of Symphonia's been taking up too much of my time. I'm done with the bloody game already.. Niflheim's just being a pain in the ass. And unfortunately I didn't get my Genis ending because of Kratos. Ah well, I love my daddy. :3~

"So how did you like my spell?"
"No wonder you're the best sorcerer in Iselia!"
"HEH-HEH-HEH-HEh-hEH-hEHh-hEH-hEHHh!"

Tony Ki celebrated his, ahem, 21st birthday last Friday at The Boathouse in Richmond I never knew existed! Me and Simon also had fun shopping for Tony Ki's birthday present hours before. We actually ended up not getting anything for him at Richmond Centre even though we walked around there for 3 hours and met up with Sally at Oakridge to find something there instead! I had to resist from shopping for myself instead... XP

My mom suddenly decided to go to William Tell for buffet dinner the following Sunday. We went as a family plus our aunt and talkative uncle. The food was great... my talkative uncle was not. We joked about getting bubble tea afterwards but besides the fact that we were obviously stuffed my mom can't stop getting over the fact that my bro's gaining weight from being a LAZY BUTT doing nothing but sleep, eat and FFXI.

Onto even MORE food...
We couldn't forget how good the taste of the mussels were at Rugby's from last May, we [Can^2, Mo^2, Shi^2] had to return for some more [finally!]. We had some drinks [not enough!] and had an extremely heavy but good main course that consisted of nothing but MEAT XP [ok, and mashed potatoes]. We went for Starbucks after to try and warm up. Afterwards, we finally [yes, finally] got to visit Shi^2's new place where we attacked the cats and Saboo. Saboo somehow compared me to Azumanga's Osaka... [Nanyate! Honma ya~ Wakarahen~] Amusing anywho...

I also got my Gundam Seed Destiny Heroines 666666666 set in FULL! I won it off ebay and the guy was local so I thought I'd pick it up but his exchange rate was WAY OFF -- it was far TOO MUCH over the actual exchange rate. I told him that and asked if he could probably be more reasonable, and he bloody understood that he was DOUBLE the real exchange rate but didn't CARE and told me that if I didn't like it then I pay him shipping and handling and that he'd rather send it to me. But he's one of those ebayers that also have a ridicious S&H rate and if I picked it up it'd still be cheaper. SO UGH! APPARENTLY, THE CHEAPASS EBAYER WAS POPTOY.COM! That annoyed me even moreeeee...! I used to like them too... [boycott boycott boycott]

Wow I Suck

So I spilled GRAPE JUICE and it splattered over my table, drenching half my papers, over my pants (probably staining it...) and it hit the WHITE/PEARL CARPET LIKE THERE WAS NO TOMORROW (also attacking other nearby objects)! The mess was HUGE and I didn't know wtf to do so I called for help from the nearest person and it just so happened to be my dad. Why and who the hell would be stupid enough to ask your dad for help in a situation like this -- ME! It didn't occur to me at all that he would just yell and leave the mess for me to clean up anyway. It wasn't until afterwards it hit me... I felt really disappointed. But, ah yes, I forgot my dad isn't the helping type.. though he's only a relatively new Christian, I still feel as though he doesn't hold any Jesus-like traits. Though I guess that's another story (about the fact that I think my dad just goes to church for the attention which is actually a totally harmless and not bad reason itself but of course there's more to it than meeting people -- but I won't go there)... It's just that I started thinking that he won't forgive me for this for a while... yes it's probably the most stupidest and regreful (yeah adding another one to the list, that is) things I've done as of late and then as a typical Chinese dad he'll bring other things that completely don't relate into the light of this to build on his rage. Mmm.. I look forward to the next few days...

But anyways... to our/my dismay, there wasn't much carpet cleaner left. I still managed to scrub like a bitch but there's still a shade of pinky/purple there. I was thinking I should get some better carpet cleaning (some with crazy bleach or something) tomorrow but I kinda don't know where to get it. The first thing that comes to mind is Safeway but it's so far. Ow, my right fingers all hurt from scrubbing a little too hard though. Oh, did I mention the grape juice went ALL OVER MY KEYBOARD AS WELL? Holy smokes, I think I was freaking out more about the keyboard than the carpet at the time. But as you can see now, I'm still typing. Yes with the same keyboard that I hosed down with water (If it were to die, I'd want it to die PRETTY -- kind of like the deceased). After the hard carpet scrubbing, I went to tend my keyboard. I didn't bother taking out all the keys and just decided, if it works, it works, if it doesn't then..... well..... I'd probably be sulking about it for a long while. Stupidly, I took out the SPACE BAR just cuz I saw a giant hairball in there. Boy, I should've realized the spacebar had some gadget in it.. YES! The bloody METAL BAR! So I figeted (sp) with it for an HOUR before I got it working (pressable and responds from all sides). SO I'm kinda proud of myself for that BUT... it feels like response time on the keyboard has slowed down a bit which depresses me but at least it still works. I really like this keyboard, even though it's not one of those high-tech Microsoft ones, or better yet, it's BECAUSE it's not one of those high-tech gadget ones, that's why I like it. Nice, simple, flat.

I just realized I've been extremely clumsy since the start of the new [lunar] year. That makes two MAJOR spills in less than a week. I dunno man, my bro said (when he went and got a reading at P.N.E.) that my zodiac this year's apparently really lucky. Not that I really brlieve and rely on that stuff but it somehow makes me feel assured... But NOW, I don't know anymore :D... but then again, it takes time.

Eew my stinging hands smell like carpet cleaner... and they're peeling!

今年の紅白歌合戦

I finished watching the 56th annual Kouhaku the other day and unfortuantely the guys won this year. Maybe I never noticed it before but this year lots of musicians sang old songs: Nakashima Mika, TM Revolution, Hitoto You, Shimatani Hitomi to name a few. And ahem, who's THIS PERSON? She He She He THAT PERSON [or Gorie, as he/she calls him/herself] is [almost] the scariest thing I've ever seen. He/She was on the red side so I guess it's sorta safe to call him/her a SHE. Though underneath the SHE he's a HE and... ahh... I don't keep up with the pop/drama news so he/she just caught me off guard.

Year by year, it looks like Hamasaki Ayumi's been improving on her live performances lol! She wasn't out of breath AND she danced a bit! Also, I found out that Hikawa Kiyoshi can't dance! I couldn't stop laughing during his performance when he was attempting at [happy] dancing... ah well, at least his singing is still top notch. Kouda Kumi's performance was pretty awsome, though I kinda stopped listening to her stuff a while back so none of her stuff rung a bell. BoA's hairdoo was pretty cool. You know, the 'one side of the head is braided'-style? It looked good on her, surprisingly. There were more hip hop/rap wannabe groups that showed up this year -- D-51 (not D12? :b), Def Tech, ... oh, m-flo also showed up this year and they sung "HEY!" with Akiko Wada which was kinda weirrrrd. w-inds, aiko, TOKIO and CHEMISTRY return this year; nothing special. :b And more and more weirdo groups are getting popular: "Kishidan" who always has someone rip off his wig every Kouhaku appearance, "Group Tamashii" sung a song called "I'll buy you juice" LOL, apparently it was a theme some for some anime. OH, I only found out about DEPAPEPE recently but they showed up for like 2 minutes to do a guitar performance (duh!) but yay! they got screentime so that's all that matters! Now if only they sang, they could beat the living crap outta that other group -- WaT!

I conclude this review by reconfirming: SMAP CAN'T SING!
