Played RuneScape early in the morning, just because my mother woke me up, thinking school is 7:30am as usual. So I ended up waking up at 6:30am playing RuneScape. Great.
I was mining iron ores boringly when Peter told me he agrees to kill King Black Dragons together. Yay. I quickly tossed my pickaxe away, grabbed my harpoon and fished for food. We both fished sharks, then proceed into the dragon's den to kick the crap out of it.
Then had to go to school. Just as the school is in my sight, it had to rain, and it had to rain cats and dogs. A lot of lower secondary students went to Tampines Mart to buy food to eat while celebrating with their teachers, and most of the girls were screaming and shouting just because of some cheap rain.
Reached class half-wet. Read a bubbish magazine titled Compass for like one minute before tossing it onto the table. Meh.
The form teacher and co-form teacher come into the dark classroom with lights turned off unsuspectingly. Everyone took party poppers and pop them with a DON! Some idiots sprayed dunno-whatchamacallit-silky-spider's-web-thingy at them. Don't know if we should pity the teachers or not, haha. Told Vernon that "if you become a teacher in the future, remember to be absent on teacher's day".
Then everyone took a birthday cake and sang the birthday song. What the f***? I don't even think it's the teacher's birthday. Then they still want to take photographs of the "cheap cake", as Vernon calls it. Indeed, so small how to split among 44 people (42 students and 2 teachers)? -.-"
Koped a lot of food after that, including one bunch of seaweeds and one whole tin of potato chips. :D Sue me lah. -.-"
Kope: To steal, usually something trifling. Similar in meaning to "stun".
Went to take a balloon and did a combination of badminton/table tennis/basketball/soccer thing. o.O
Classroom next to ours had no one, but there are two bottles of Coke and two big packets of potato chips. Oh my God! Straw Hat Pirates, plunder and loot that place!
Nah, I'm not that evil. Newbs must not be bullied but nurtured carefully so that they will grow to be respectful pros. -.-"
(God, I read too much of Vernon's blog. Sorry for that, too many of my brain cells died.)
Uh-hem.
Then Faizal and I went to burst some balloons. There is one balloon that I executed "Hero Hero no Axe" several times but missed.
Samy stretches one leg high into the air, then brings it crashing down on an opponent or structure, for massive damage.
Then I went Gear Second and executed "Hero Hero no Battle Axe". o.O
Samy stretches both legs high into the air, then brings it crashing down on an opponent or structure, for massive damage.
Accidentally frightened two girls while bursting one balloon. Sorry. :P
Concert was bubbish, enough said.
Went to primary school. Saw several old good friends like Sean, Yujun and Wenjia.
Sean kept talking about Hard Gay. I swore that if he mention that phrase one more time, I'm gonna go Gear Second. -.-"
So sad, primary school until 2pm then dismiss, so I have to wait until 2pm for my ex-teachers to finish teaching the class so we can visit them. What the f***? As Vernon would say it, "waste of the pro's time".
Sean kept complaining that he wants to go, so at 1:30pm we went off. Bleh, I'm done seeing most of my ex-schoolmates. Sayonara, my filthy ex-teachers. :P
Went home, back to RuneScape and went to slay King Black Dragons with him.
Edit made on 22 March 2008: Fuck ImageShack, the three screenshots I took are lost. D:
We killed ten, then both of us got owned. -.-"
We separated after swearing that we will meet up once again after we are both stronger physically and mentally and take down that beast once and for all.
I've just now begun to search, over the splashing waves, for the everlasting world. With this overflowing passion in my chest, I will go anywhere, seeking the light yet unseen.

I'm Here With You
Doesn't it feel good to just laugh out loud?
Even without an umbrella, the pouring rain can't hit our eyes
Stopped at a flashing red light,
You hesitate, you can't even take the first step
My power isn't as great
As the poor humming I received back then
But I can still tighten this loose screw!
I'm here with you, Ah, the one I love!
I will hold you always
The waves washed away your little sand castle
With a tearful smile, you looked up at the passing clouds
Even if the world turns against us,
I've got your back
Never forget, you can trust in me
I'm here with you, Ah, the one I love!
I will hold you always
I'm here with you, Ah, a gentle song
Reaching out for the two of us
If it stops raining tomorrow, let's go! I want to show you
The sky, the sea, and everything, Ah, it sparkles beautifully
Because I love you
Always, always beside, Ah, the one I love
Forever, mm, and ever
I'm here with you!
I'm here with you!
I'm here with you!
Even without an umbrella, the pouring rain can't hit our eyes
Stopped at a flashing red light,

RuneScape Clan Video
Postive Comments o.O
Today in school, during assembly, our form teacher wants us to write positive comments to other classmates.
So, I wrote to Vernon:
"Dear Vernon:
Yes, yes, I know you are a pro, but I'm proer. I'm the King of the Pros, thus I am your king. Bow down to your king. Pro. =D
Hero"
And on the other side, drew a skull and crossbones with a straw hat, an X which is a sign of nakama, and the message "B34r c0nv1c710n b3h1nd j00r f149". :D
Then Vernon wrote to me:
"Our duel is not yet over. You have potential to go far. Find your true self! Surpass me, surpass this sword! Hero!"
Which is taken from Mihawk's challenge to Zoro in One Piece:
"It's still too early for you to die. My name is Dracule Mihawk! Find your true self, true world, become stronger! No matter how long it will take, I will await you in my strongest form! Surpass this sword! Surpass me! Roronoa Zoro!"
I wrote back:
"You think risking your own life is enough? Try risking our lives along with yours! WE ARE NAKAMA!"
Meanwhile, Yoshida wrote to Ephraim:
"To OKAMA,
I know you very clever. I know you beat me in English by 1 mark. I know you beat me in Maths by 1 mark. But I still want you to know:
Next page, in big big fonts:
"WATASHI WA KAMI!
From Shinigami"
Ephraim also wrote to Yoshida:
"When they heard that I beat you in English by 1 mark, they think you are stupid.
But when they heard that you got 89 for A Maths, they think you are a genius!
With the new Samsung LCD TV, it's not that hard to imagine."

Long Time No Blog, Eh?
Yeah, yeah, long time no blog, go ahead and sue me. :P
Bet no one comes to my cheap blog nowadays. Gotta go do some "advertisement" I guess. o_O
Nothing much to write, so might as well, we shall have a lecture on One Piece Attacks! O.o
First off, main character, Monkey D. Luffy. His most powerful attack in "Gear First" is probably Gomu Gomu no Storm.
Luffy begins by launching his opponent into the air. Luffy then uses Gomu Gomu no Fuusen (Balloon: Luffy inflates himself rapidly, pushing foes away or deflect projectile attacks.) and twists his body around tightly, then blows the air towards the ground. This propels Luffy spinning upwards, where he delivers a flurry of punches similar to Gomu Gomu no Gatling Gun (Luffy uses his stretching ability to bring his fists forward repeatedly in a blurry, rapid barrage that creates the illusion of him having multiple arms.).
----------------------
His most powerful attack in "Gear Second" is probably Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka.
Luffy charges at his opponent at high speed, and delivers a very fast Gomu Gomu no Bazooka (Luffy stretches both his arms far back, and then hurls them forward, striking his opponent with both simultaneously. Usually used as a finishing move.).
----------------------
Now for the Straw Hat Pirates' First Mate and Swordsman, Roronoa Zoro.
His most powerful attack is without a doubt Santouryu Ougi: Sanzen Sekai, which means Three-Swords-Style Secret Attack: Three Thousand Worlds.
That video above was when he failed. The video below, although just pure imagination by Zoro, serves as prove of how destructive the attack can be if succeeded.
Zoro holds two of his swords at an angle against each other and spins them while running towards his opponent.
----------------------
Next, on the "power" list, we have 108 Pound Cannon.
This attack uses the air itself to slash the target from a distance, and its strength increases with the number of swords Zoro use. As he say in the video, "One lifetime, thirty-six desires. Two lifetime, seventy-two desires. Three lifetime, hundred-and-eight desires." Thus, this attack with one sword is called "36 Pound Cannon", while the attack with two swords is called "72 Pound Cannon".
The name of this attack is actually a pun. In Buddhism, there are these 36 Earthly Desires, sight, hearing, speech, smell, touch, thought, good, evil, neutrality, purity, corruption, etc., etc., until we reach 36. In Japanese, "36 Pound Cannon" can also mean "36 Earthly Desires", or "36 Pheonixes of Passion and Desire".
But why "36 Phoenixes of Passion and Desire"? Well, the name of this attack in Japanese is called "Hyaku-Hachi Pound Hou". "Pound" obviously refers to the unit for weight, thus "36 Pound Cannon". Written in Kanji, the attack name is "三十六煩悩鳳". This Japanese attack name can also be understood by Chinese as well. Since I'm a Chinese, I can tell you that "三十六" means thirty-six, "煩悩" means trouble and "鳳" means phoenix. Mmkay?
Same concept goes with 72 Pound Cannon and 108 Pound Cannon. In the American version, 36 Pound Cannon, 72 Pound Cannon and 108 Pound Cannon are called Single Sword Rising Phoenix, Dual Sword Soaring Phoenix and Triple Sword Soaring Phoenix respectively.
I found 36 Pound Cannon along the way too.
----------------------
And if you think the XX Pound Hou is a very complicating pun, here comes one more!
Oni Giri: Zoro crosses his two swords across his chest and uses them to cut through the opponent. The blade in his mouth cuts near the shoulder. The three swords join to form an asterisk.
Oni is a demon in Japan mythology, Giri means slash, so Oni Giri means Demon Slash. But Onigiri (one word) means Demon Slash! o.O
Then, in Little Garden, after being covered by wax by Mr. 3 and burnt by Luffy to prevent him for suffocating, Zoro's katanas got on fire. Then, he learnt a new technique, and used it against Mr. 5. Yaki Oni Giri!
Yaki means Burning, so Yaki Oni Giri means Burning Demon Slash. But Yaki Onigiri means Grilled Riceball. o.O
And then he learns a new technique.
Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri: A variation of Oni Giri where the swords are twisted during the slash for added force, resulting in this attack striking multiple opponents instead of one.
Enbima Yonezu Oni Giri means Charm Demon, Sleepless Night, Demon Slash. But Enbima Yonezu Onigiri means Riceball with Mayonnaise added. o.O
----------------------
Moving on, we have Tatsumaki, another of Zoro's attacks. Tatsumaki, when read as "Tatsu Maki", means Dragon Twister, while being read as "Tatsumaki", means Tornado. Basically, Zoro turns himself for a lot of times and then stop, creating a forceful tornado that will eject the opponent up into the sky as well as deal them damage.
In One Piece Movie 3, Zoro has a really cool style of using Tatsumaki. With all three swords, he seemingly hack-and-slash randomly around him, but as his opponent charge towards him, he creates a powerful tornado that finishes him off.
Zoro can execute Tatsumaki both when using Santoryu (Three-Swords-Style) and Mutoryu (No-Swords-Style). It is unknown whether he can do Tatsumaki with Ittoryu (One-Sword-Style) and Nitoryu (Two-Swords-Style)
----------------------
Ok, ok, one last time on Zoro! :P
Some of his attacks are "Iais", which means to draw and resheath. These techniques are very fast, very forceful, and obviously utilizes "qi", or inner force.
Shishi Sonson is an Ittoryu Iai that enables Zoro to cut steel. He learnt it when fighting against Mr. 1. Since Mr. 1 ate a Devil's Fruit that allowed his body to be as hard as steel, Zoro had trouble due to him being unable to cut steel. Just as he was about to lose, he remembered his Sinsei teaching him about Qi. Just as Mr. 1 falls to the ground in a pool of his own blood, he asks Zoro, "Will you try cutting diamond next?" To which Zoro answered, "Nope. Would be a waste."
Rashoumon is a Nitoryu Iai. Will be covered along with the other Straw Hat Pirates in the next post. :D
