And definitely grasp hold of the future with my hands
I will run endlessly; I absolutely believe in
The strength of the dreaming soul
Because I can definitely do it!

Mr. Bean's Holiday

Was watching Mr. Bean's Holiday in the cinema with Yujun and Ruwan today. Pity those Americans who have to wait until 29 September to watch it. XD

Initially planned to go to Yujun's house at 2.45pm, leave with him and Yuchi at 3pm, meet up with Ruwan at Tampines Mall and then proceed to buy the tickets for 3.20pm. After watching the movie, we'll head to the arcade, play a while, and then head to McDonald's for dinner (that's kind of what I did with Sean, Hong Wei and Wenjia when we watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets five years ago, lol).

Alas, in life, things don't always go as smoothly as planned.

Went out with my father at 1.55pm, who wanted to have lunch. Due to me being not hungry but rather wanting to eat popcorn in the cinema, I decided to have him bring me to Yujun's house first before he goes off for lunch. I arrived at 2.25pm, 20 minutes early. Not knowing that he was having tuition, I rang the doorbell and called his name. After quite a while, he came down, but his sleeping father was the only one with the keys. He went up to wake him up, and then I went in.

My first impression of his tutor was, "What the hell? Who the fuck is this guy?" He was fat, short, wearing those short pants that I would only dare to wear at home, and worse of all, sitting in a position that exposes the shape of his... genital. Yeah, not only is it simply a bad impression... It is the worst impression that someone can get out of you.

Not knowing who the heck this is, I simply went in (barged would be a better word here though ^_^") and greeted Yuchi with a "Yo!", completely ignoring the guy. XD Yuchi was showing off the crystal he made (obviously by using crystallisation). It was white in colour, in small lumps that combine together to form a big blot, and is inside a small plastic bag. The heck? Turns out he used table salt, lol. That explains the lame white colour easily.

Yujun came in and we then started talking about the movie later. Yujun and Yuchi sort of wants to change the movie we are going to watch to Stomp the Yard and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles respectively, lol... They then assumed I had booked the tickets already by misinterpreting the meaning of what I said during an online conversation, which I obviously am too lazy to. After quite a while of confusion, I then decided to buy the tickets first. Armed with the handphone number of Yujun's dad [Yujun doesn't have a handphone (although he is saving up to buy one), and his mother changed the number of their home phone, making the number private (so their number does not show up on Caller IDs, annoying those two who initially tried to call their friends and hope they can retrieve the number of their home phone from them) and not letting the two of them know the number (as you might have guessed from my previous comment). Then again, those two brothers can be up on the phone for a looooooong time. Trust me on this one, I was a victim several years ago ;) XD], I went to Tampines Mall alone, the bravery burning inside me ready to face against all sorts of hostility and danger. *shifty eyes*

One word can describe the shopping mall: Crowded.

I went up to the forth floor with difficulty passing through the large and stationary crowd, and started queuing up the line to buy the tickets. What the heck, the screens showed that the tickets for Mr. Bean's Holiday are sold out in 3.20pm, and tickets for 4.30pm, 5.30pm and 6.40pm and 'selling fast', and I assumed that they could be sold out very fast. I called Yujun's father and asked for Yujun's opinions. He had to in turn ask for Ruwan's opinions.

Yujun was taking a rather long time as I move up the queue. Finally, with like only five people left in front of me, I called Yujun impatiently. Yuchi, somehow, is unable to go, and so I simply had to buy three tickets for 4.30pm. After waiting for a while, at the counter, I asked for three tickets for 4.30pm, yet there were all individual seats. And guess what? They suddenly have three tickets for 3.20pm. What the heck? >_< Had to consult Yujun again. Freaking hell, the girl behind the counter was like "Hurry! Hurry!" and ended up having to serve the guy before me first while I waited for Yujun to pick up the phone (his father diverted the call from his handphone). So, yeah, three tickets, 3.20pm.

It was a good 3pm when I finished the purchase. Storing the tickets in my bag safely, I decided to head down to Popular Bookstore first, to buy Pokémon Adventures volume 12. Freaking long queue, fueled by the slowness and inefficiency of the two guys at the counter. Was waiting very impatiently, especially since I had to head back to Yujun's house, and that I had a movie to catch. Some small bangla kid want to annoy me by cutting my queue. I raised my fists and cracked them. He fled, wetting his pants. Bastard. If he didn't run away swift enough, my Impatient + Anger + Racist = Soul Energy MAX!!

After buying the manga, I didn't even have time to rip the plastic cover and start reading. It was 3.10pm now, as I hurried over to Yujun's house. 3.15pm, he called me and told me to wait at the convenience store near his house. Already near his house, I suggested meeting at the void deck. After waiting for a while at the void deck, I could see his hair exiting out of his house (XD luckily he was tall, or I wouldn't have seen anything! XD). I called to him and wave as he walked through the corridor towards the elevator, rofl. He came down, and his father called me, informing me that Yujun is coming down and I should meet up with him. I told him that he was already beside me, rofl, and he went, "So fast?!" O.O Rofl XD

We went to Tampines Mall, jaywalking past the road along the way. Outside the cinema, we met with Ruwan, and we went in. I bought a "Mr. Bean's Holiday Combo", consisting of a large cup of coca-cola, a large box of popcorn and a "Mr. Bean's Holiday Passport Holder", as advertised. I didn't get my passport holder, I was scammed. T_T And the whole 'combo' thing caused $8.50. Tch, what a ripoff. The cinema owners must have been seriously earning big money. I bought a cup of large coke for Yujun as well, though Ruwan didn't want anything.

We went in, at 3.25pm, though it was still showing those boring advertisements no one cares about.

By the way, if you want to know the plot of the movie, you are better off checking Wikipedia.

Overall, the movie sucks at being a comedy film. Sure, some laughter every here and there, but definitely not enough to stands out as a comedy. The movie otherwise is rather good though, a pretty heartwarming one, bring out the positive emotions inside you like happiness and joy. I was smiling a lot (rather than laughing) during the ending of the film, and Yujun too. Don't believe me? Go watch it yourself.

The female character was quite cute by the way. XD

While the credits showed and everyone started to exit, Yujun wants to go on and watch Stomp the Yard. >_< I decided against it (I mean, watching two movies in one day?) and used the lame excuse of having not enough funds. XD He then suggested that Ruwan treats him and that he treats me. I simplified it, suggesting that Ruwan merely treat me and he buys for himself (note that I already had no intention to go off and watch another movie XD). He rejects the idea, wanting to make himself look generous. Rofl. XD

After exiting the cinema, we then decided to head to the arcade first. We went to Century Square (the arcade in Tampines Mall sucks. I mean, Time Crisis II and House of the Dead I? Liek zomkg). Along the way, Yujun bought cigarettes. Yeah.

We went to the arcade. Played Daytona USA. I first played with Yujun (only two there available), and I won against him. He then played against Ruwan and won. Wow, Yujun is quite a pro at sharp turns, unlike me, charging recklessly and then crashing. XD Oh, note that I never ever use the brake too. :D

We then went to play Time Crisis 4. Yujun teamed up with Ruwan. They both died at the same time, early in Stage 1 (after the prologue). I then teamed with Yujun. We made it further. He died at around the same time as in the previous game, and Ruwan continued. I died a bit later. Ruwan made it farther but still faced death in the end.

We then decided to leave.

We stopped at a handphone shop. Yujun wants to save up for a handphone. Wonder why his father just wouldn't pay for it. *rolls eyes*

We then reached the cinema. I then decided to leave, while those two proceed to buy movie tickets.

At the bus interchange, I waited for the bus at the hot sun covered by the setting sun. The queue was surprisingly short. As the bus arrives, I boarded the bus, glad that there are only a few passengers and not crowded as usual. A few people rush into the bus, away from the searing heat one would suffer if queueing under the sun. I started reading Pokémon Adventures. Got a bad headache later, not aided by the young girl sitting behind me and singing. >_< I hurried to stop reading and change place halfway through to relief my headache rofl.

Had a dream lol

For some nub like me who forgets his dreams occasionally, managing to remember a dream is a great feat, rofl.

The first dream I can remembered is on RuneScape, lol. I went to some dungeon, with party hats spawning! O.O [Party hats are given out in Christmas Crackers six years ago, and thus are now retired items and unobtainable unless you buy them from another player, at an outrageous price that very few can afford] Obviously, I picked them up, and thinking that I need the money more urgently, I decided to head to Varrock to try and sell it. That was when the graphics became entirely RuneScape Classic rofl, but yeah, I still have those party hats, so who cares? There was one whole horde of players wearing Rune armour (best armour available for non-members), and I presumed they were buying and selling stuff. With my five party hats (a strange part is that two of them were 'Main Partyhats', and there were no such colours. XD), I went to the back of the castle, where all the yew tress are, something in my dream telling me that it is the best place to buy and sell rares (only when I woke up that I realized that it is supposedly the west part that is the best place to buy and sell rares, although I have no idea if I remembered correctly or if the place has or had changed). The way around the castle to get to the back is strangely barricaded though, so I had to walk through the castle itself. In the middle of the castle, where the library is supposed to be, are two nerds sitting around a table and reading books (yes, sitting, in RuneScape Classic!!). There was also a swarm (a random event that annoys players in RuneScape) in RuneScape Classic! (Random events are implemented only in RuneScape, so they don't exist in RSC). It looks like a Night Elf Wisp from Warcraft III rofl. So, anyway, the two nerds are under attack, yeah, but who cares? :P Then I saw, to my horror and surprise, that there were three Easter Eggs (another retired item that causes a bomb) in the library! Assuming that they belong to the two nerds, I did what most RuneScape players would do and simply picked them up, deciding to sell them as well. And then, I went to the yew trees area, and was like "What the fuck?". There were only woodcutters there...

Second dream was much more simple, and yet emotional. I was still a young kid, sitting on my father's shoulders while he was running and jumping up and down, resembling a thrill ride (I don't know, that's what most fathers do when their children are young, isn't it? I know mine did ten to twelve years ago. If yours didn't, I'd have to quote Yoshida and say, "What a sad childhood you lived."). It was, really touching to witness that scene again, to tell the truth. Emotional tears just flowed out of my eyes as I woke up. Wow, a sixteen-year-old teenager still crying in bed. XD

Seems from my dreams that, throughout everyone's lives, there are two things that they ultimately seek: Wealth, and love. Too bad I don't dream of myself designing games, or I can conclude another thing everyone seek: Dreams.

BOORING!!

School today is so freaking boring I could sleep while blogging about it, so I'll spare both you and me the pain and just skip it, lest I fall asleep and drool all over my precious keyboard. ^_^"

I'm getting to be such a Digimon addict nowadays, rushing all the way to episode 44 (45 isn't out subbed yet >_>) of Digimon Savers, as well as downloading Fire!!, the opening of Digimon Frontier, and 強ing! Going! My Soul!!, the first opening of Digimon Savers, haha.

Thursday, March 22, 2007

Lol lazy nub

Been too lazy to blog for the last three days, rofl. Spent too much time in school, and the rest of what very little time I had remaining goes to watch Digimon Savers. XD Guess I should blog about the past three days at once.

On Tuesday, morning assembly was long. One bunch of shit. Useless announcements, one whole horde of Indonesians visiting our school, rally speeches for the election of the President of the Student Councillor, blah blah blah. A whole period of time wasted on boring shit. Definitely does not want to vote for the lame guy who came up the stage just to waste our time and say "I have nothing to promise you. Please vote for me." Like who will.

We then had Chemistry, our first period, in the Biology lab. Due to a long bunch of crap during morning assembly, we went to Chemistry half an hour late. Teacher was on a lecture on ammonia, and boy, was it long! All we need to do to understand the concept is to read the textbook for five minutes. Who knows how she manages to talk for half an hour, and yet still unfinished. Was rushing my unfinished History homework during that hour (I'm supposed to do them during the holidays; but slip of mind XD).

Next, we had History. The teacher did not ask for our History homework, lol, so I sort of wasted that past half of hour. XD Teacher first started chatting about the rally speeches during morning assembly, and said that he remembered when he was a student, some guy wore a T-shirt inside his uniform, went up to stage, and then stripped the uniform, revealing the words on his T-shirt "Please vote for me." Diao, like that also can. Win already lor. Teacher was teaching about China after the communists had taken power. Did not know that Mao killed more people that Hitler and Stalin combined, rofl. The teacher then went on to talk about the Cultural Revolution, and he seems rather pissed off about it (understandable, since he teaches History after all, as the history of thousands of years of China had been destroyed in it. He even went insulting Mao, rofl.

Physics continue on about electricity. The teacher was going rather slowly, so I just went to read the textbook while the others are doing the stupid practical part of connecting circuits rofl.

Near the end of recess, while exiting the library, Ephraim saw two abandoned bottles of water on the shelf. He went to took one, and finding out that it is sealed and not yet opened, went to open and drink it, lol. Cheapskate.

Geography next was boring. More on wet rice cultivation. I had already read twice of what she had taught in the textbook, and thus already knew what she was talking about full-well, yet I cannot sleep, especially after a severe lack of sleep? This is injustice. All in all, Geography is boring.

Can't remember what we did during Chinese. Nmaa.

Barely had any idea what is going on in A. Maths, and first time I had to do homework when I usually rushed it during lesson. The questions are getting a lot harder, I got to admit, lol. Don't worry though, I'll take them down with my fist! This is what being a man is all about! (I watch too much Digimon Savers XD)

History EPP was canceled, yay.

*goes off to watch one episode of Digimon Savers before continuing to Wednesday* XD

Morning was rainy, so I had to take an umbrella. Was practicing out Zoro's Ittoryuu Iai: Shishi Sonson attack with it while waiting for the lift, lol. I think I sort of got the grip of it. XD Went to assemble at class due to the rain. Larry, who was down with diarrhoea on Tuesday, returned. Yay, lol.

The diarrhoea kid previous day was first to rush out for Physics, while the rest of us lagged behind. More on electricity. Due to lack of one bunch of shit, Vernon and I were unable to conduct the experiment the teacher told us. So what? No practical elements needed, just have faith and believe in your textbook. Bear conviction behind your textbook! We took one bunch of batteries (six or seven) and connected it to a single lightbulb rofl. Was damn shiny, lmao.

P.E. next. Used my wallet to wrap it around my handphone, rofl, before putting it to the storage bucket, where only Larry dared to put his handphone in. Thank Lord Saradomin for the rain, teacher had to cancel his plan for running around the school. We had free games instead. I went to play soccer with a few other guys from my class, while Larry's gang was playing badminton and the gals playing captain's ball, with a few lazy slackers sitting down at the benchs and doing nothing. Was playing as a defender in soccer (only role I can play, I suck in soccer XD). Near the beginning, everyone in my team (except for me and Wei Sheng, the goalkeeper) rushed forward with the ball, while everyone in the opposing team rushed to their side to defend the ball. After a while, I decided that they needed back-up, and thus walked slowly forward to aid them. An opposing defender then whacked the ball towards our side, and luckily towards me. Instinctively, while in the middle of the court, I raised my leg and kick, and goal! The one whom everyone expected least to score a goal had actually score the first goal! Rofl! XD During the game, many people (including me twice) kicked the ball so far away from the court that some time had to be spent to retrieve the ball back. First, I estimated to Wei Sheng that for every five minutes we played, five minutes were spent on retrieving the ball. The time taken to retrieve the ball then increases to ten, then fifteen, and finally twenty when I decided to stop playing near the end of the period. Was watching how Yoshida bullied Ephraim in badminton rofl. Shorty for teh loss! XD

Physics SPA next. Another experiment to plan. Finished the fastest out of whole class (I believe) lol. Teacher actually shouted "Well done!" when he realized I finished so fast. Of course, I doubt he'll still think that after examining my paper. ^_^" During the lesson, Ephraim went to the teacher, asked something and then ran out. I thought that he, like Larry (whom I took a piece of paper from), went back to class to get his foolscap paper so as to do his assignment lol.

During recess, I then realized that Ephraim was down with some sort of illness or injury, and went back home with his bag. Idiot, drinking water from the library when no one knows who left it there.

During English, Ephraim messaged me to take his pencil case, which he left in the Physics lab, lol. Yoshida actually wanted to flush it down the toilet bowl. Good choice actually, to tell the truth. Oh yeah, did I mention that he messaged me while the teacher was talking about what we should writing while writing a letter? XD When I asked him what is wrong with him, he told me he got cursed by Yoshida's friend. -_- Bubbish little shorty.

E. Maths was next. We went to a new chapter, reflection. Zzzzzz, I already knew how to do those kind of stuff when I was in Primary 6 (four years ago). Was plain bored after rushing through the worksheet.

A. Maths next. First worksheet the teacher gave that I did not finish rushing through it during the period, lol. A. Maths is starting to get extremely difficult now. -_-

Wanted to do A. Maths during Chemistry (not like Chemistry matters [a pun, Chemistry Matters is the name of our Chemistry textbook XD]), and I already prepared it, placing the A. Maths worksheet and textbook under my Chemistry workbook. Then, for some lame competition where classes are to string one bunch of empty bottles and see who has the longest line (not like we get anything fruitful out of the stupid thing), half of the class was preparing for it. Some were drilling holes in the bottom of the bottles to pass the string through, while others were throwing the bottles into the string. Yoshida and I helped out as well, lol, mainly drilling holes. Vernon, as usual, was slacking. Not like he ever participated in any class activity. Halfway, I broke Yoshida's scissors, lol, so that one handle was cracked and the scissors now only had one handle left. He did not want it any more, asking me to throw it away, and rejecting my offer to pay the money for his scissors back. Then, I went to help stringing the scissors. We spent half an hour doing that (yes, half an hour of Chemistry) in the classroom (as compared to Chemistry lesson, which took place in the lab). Of course, no one in our class actually bothers about Chemistry lessons (bear conviction behind your textbook!), so we were just happily drilling and stringing away. Finally, half an hour has past, and Mr. Sean Philip Lim, President of the Student Councillor, blah blah blah, announced that we should go for Chemistry, since 'Gan BY is getting lonely'. Lol, what the crap. We went anyway.

While walking towards the lab, Sze Ling saw my two coca-cola bottles in my bag and wanted to take them and added to the pile of bottles. -_- My dear Jet Twin Pistol cannot be used to do such bubbish things. T_T Really regreted not bringing A Maths to Chemistry. Yoshida and Vernon were happily plucking out the keys in the keyboard (there were computers in the Biology Lab where we had Chemistry) and rearranging them at will, while some were playing computer games secretly (not like it's actually secretly, there's a damn mirror at the back that allow the teacher to tell who has their computers turned on). I was just sitting down and not paying attention, lol, Chemistry is boring. Tried to sleep by lying down on three computer chairs, but alas, computer chairs are not for one to sleep on. -_- Lesson ended with teacher asking those who had not yet done some bubbish online quiz to stay back. -_- I'll do it at home, thank you very much.

Back at home, I did the online quiz. Freaking hell, not a single question I understood! Obviously, I answered everything 'A', expecting to get 25% correct, except for the second last question, which I knew. Ta-dah, I got 12 out of 30, 40%, way over my expectation! I screenshoted the results page, so I knew which question I got correct and which one I got wrong, and went to do my second attempt. Answering 'B' for everything I got wrong and 'A' for everything I got correct, I managed to score a 19 out of 30! XD

Then, lol, Jasmine wanted me to give her the answers for several A. Maths questions, lol. Redoing the questions, that I thought were hard, for her, I then realized that they were actually quite easy... if you have already completed them before. -_- Due to boredom, I just took photographs out of the last two questions and sent them to her. XD

*goes off to watch one more episode of Digimon Savers before continuing to Thursday* XD

Now we move on to plantation in Geography. Boring as usual.

Social Studies, another boring lesson, slept through it.

E. Maths, more reflection. Was again boring when I rushed through it. Was playing with Yoshida's eraser shredding while he looked at me playing lol. Shows just how bored we are.

Recess, when we were studying for the two letter-writing tests later on. Yoshida was chucking a Singapore encyclopedia around. And note that it is extremely heavy and causes a loud bang whenever it makes contact with something. I found a book on the notes of Singapore. First time I saw a 10k note, lol. But... why the fuck do we have Chemistry on a 10k note? Yoshida was noting how shorter Ephraim will get if he drops the book on his head. Not like it is possible for shorty to get any shorter.

Chinese next, letter-writing test. Had a rather good (in my opinion) beginning, but when teacher announced that there were only five minutes remaining, I sort of rushed, so my ending practically sucks, with almost no content. And yet she went to extend the deadline. Can't continue after writing those ending shit you write in a letter, so it was a boring ten minutes before I passed up. Yoshida faced the same problem too. Shitty hell.

I think I screwed up the English letter-writing...

For Chemistry SPA, we took out everything in our files and organized them. Yay, how fun.

Phew, end of blogging. *rushes off to watch Digimon Savers* XD

School Ni Gakki is here!

Lol at the title, 'ni gakki' (二学期) means second term in Japanese, and yup, after the short one-week school holiday, second term of school begins!

Two alarm clocks and three alarm handphones in case I couldn't wake up, and was really really loud at 6am, when they blasted into full noisiness. Thought I could do with some more sleep, so I went ahead and turned them all off, and only set one of the handphones (mine, with a Brand New World alarm ringtone XD) at 6.30am. Had some really weird dream about Pokémon again, rofl, setting some crappy unique traps against idiotic Team Rocket, lol. Woke up at 7.45am when my father called. Freaking hell, woke up late. -_- Didn't eat breakfast, just packed my bag and hurriedly rush out. Bloody hell, finding my socks took like 5 minutes, lol.

First period was Geography, where we got back our test paper. I got 25 out of 40. Meh, not bad. Then I went to sleep (well, the teacher has already given us the answer sheets >_>) and she still wanted to wake me up. Meh. So as an act of courtesy I just stayed awake for the rest of the half an hour, lol.

Next was VL. Goal-setting is complete bullshit to me, I don't need shit like those. Just give me the exam paper, I finish it, settled. Steady.

Recess was next. Hanging out at library after eating breakfast.

After that was Chinese. Teacher was criticizing all those little shit we made in our work, and she went on and on and on about mine. I mean, come on, what's wrong with offering some pork to a police who worked so hard to help you? Anyway, I've only written three paragraphs, isn't it good I find bullshit to write to prevent handing up a very short letter? Bleh, the teacher will never understand this. And still make one load of bullshit. -_-

After Chinese, the teacher went outside and from her movements, I can tell that she's complaining to the English teacher about our class lol. English was about going through a comprehension we did during the holidays. Freaking shit, I did the wrong one, lol. Never mind anyway, because I was rushing and doing it in class while she was going through it. XD

Assembly is about some green week. Larry was one of the two MCs, and many people were pissed off about him when he hosted the stupid quiz. The costume design competition is really stupid in my opinions. How does designing a freaking costume out of recycled materials help save the environment? That is a question even geniuses with 200+ IQ can never solve nor answer.

Physics next. Sleepiness was really at peak, lol, so I took a little nap for five minutes. :P Teacher was talking about some electrons going out of a battery, charging a light bulb and then going into the battery again or something like that.

Was waiting outside the school for my father after school. He came and we went to had lunch outside before returning home. Saw Jasmine waiting for a bus in the bus stop on the way home, lol..



Yeah, I uploaded the video myself. o.O

Cycling Trip With Yujun II

Continuing our (us as in Yujun and me) cycling trip to East Coast Park, we went on another one, using a different route.

At 12.10pm, I was reading School Rumble manga, when Yujun called, reminding that we promised to next week go to East Coast Park the previous week (which is today). And I was like "Oh, shit, I forgot about it, and I still have homework not done yet!" He scolded a few vulgarities, and I had to go along with him.

At 12.20pm, I set off. Here is the route:



As you can see from the map, I actually wanted to travel along a path adjacent and parallel to the PIE, but most parts of the path (which I used a long time ago to get to Yujun's house for cycling trips, though that was really a long time ago, when we had nakama like Yuchi, Caleb and Wenjia to go with us on our trips) were under construction, so I had to navigate through the roads among the HDB flats, lol. Was sort of afraid to get lost (too lazy to just take out the map from my bag and check XD). Finally, after about half of the way, the path is finally not under construction, so I can take the familar path to Yujun's house.

Reached Yujun's house at 12.45pm. He invited me to his house, where Yuchi was doing his homework (some English composition). While waiting for Yujun to get ready for the trip, I was reading newspaper and then Yuchi's Pure History textbook, lol. Wow, Pure History really IS Pure History. I mean, us Elective History students don't even get to learn about the Cuban Missile Crisis, but they do! -.-

At about 1.20pm, we were ready and left (Yujun took $20 from his father, lol). Map time. Points of interest are denoted with big dark blue squares.



After leaving, we went to the convenience store near his house to buy drinks. He bought a 1.5 litres bottle of mineral water, while I bought a bottle of 100-Plus with the same volume.

Second square is where Yujun attempted to cross the road, originally wanting to head to East Coast through the route we took last week, before I persuaded him to 'try out new routes'. :)

We at first wanted to rest at Bedok Reservoir (not in the water, on a bench near the water, damn it), thinking that the 'park connector' would go through the reservoir. But then, when reaching the reservior, we had a choice of whether to turn left or right. Left is the pedestrian route parallel to the road for cars that I know would bring us to the reservoir. On the other hand, right leads downhill, and I can see from a distance that there is an uphill to the reservoir a few metres away. Thinking that right leads downhill then uphill to the reservoir, I took right, Yujun following me. Turns out the route turned left, went under the road and brought us to the start of the park connector, completely ignoring the reservoir. There goes our rest point lol. We took a break on a bench somewhere along the connector.

Third square marks where we had our second break, feeling awfully tired by now, a situation not helped by the critically hot weather. We rested for a long time, me gulping down large volumes of water. There, we also confirmed our location and whether we are going the right way or not, and I took out my earphones to listen to my MP3 player as well. After about ten minutes, we headed off.

Between the third and forth squares, you may think, "Did we run across the expressway?" Nah, of course not! There was an overhead bridge, duh. While approaching the bridge (there were no stairs, only a slope. Makes sense, since it is placed in the intersection points of an expressway [cars would not use overhead bridges, dude, they use flyovers] and a park connector [most users are cyclists]), there was a downhill, then all the way up the bridge. During the downhill, I charged and accelerated, cycling up the bridge and ignoring the 'Please push your bicycle along the bridge' or something like that sign (not like anyone would actually care rofl). Upon reaching about 40% of the 'slope' to the main part of the bridge, I got tired, hopped out and pushed. Yujun was struggling to get up with his rollerblades, and I could tell he used a lot of energy for it, lol. There were signs on the bridge that stated 'No cycling', and I pointed that out to Yujun. On the other side of the bridge, an old uncle happens to be cycling up the 'slope', so we were both like "Oi, uncle, no cycling lah!" XD

Forth square marks the end of the overhead bridge. There were four 'slopes' that go 'zig-zag' over a short distance [hard to explain it like this, lol]. Did not have the confidence to turn around to use the next 'slope' while preventing a crash, so before I reached the end of a 'slope', I had to brake, lol. That seriously reduced the high speed I could have enjoyed riding 'downhill', lol. It was still enjoyable anyway, lol, the wind blowing, as well as not needing to pedal. Some distance in the park connector was a high (in height) and short (in distance) bump. Yujun was cursing, lol, while I was accelerating in speed to overcome the obstacle. The downhill part really boosted the speed I needed lol.

In the fifth square on the map, we had to pass a traffic light on the road. I was like "Want to jay?" Obviously, Yujun isn't one to be obedient for someone shit like that, so we jaywalked (or rather, 'jaycycled' and 'jayrollerbladed' XD) past the road, two cars quite a distance away horning at us. Lol, we aren't stupid enough to get knocked down by you noobs, buddy.

Approaching the sixth square, I was like "Jaywalking is our middle name." 8) Of course, we jaywalked. After the road, Yujun wanted to go left, when the park connector is to the right, lol. Obviously, I pointed out the mistake to him. Talk about lack of a sense of direction. :P

In the seventh square, I was looking around and was like "Hey, this road seems familiar." when actually it intercepts the route we took last week. XD He pointed it out to me, though. Lack of traffic lights and zebra crossing made us unable to jaywalk, as it is completely legal to cross the road. :( (XD) There were a large volume of traffic of course, so we had to wait a while.

In the eighth square, there were many fishermen (what the hell? Obviously they are fishing) on the bridge, while Yujun and I sat down for a break. Wow, we found a good fishing spot.

Then, we took a short part of the road that happens to be exactly the same as last week's route. There, we saw the park connector again, which was damn loooooooooooooooooooong and boring. Yujun wanted to take it again, but I refused, suggesting we take the route Yujun suggested we take last week. He agrees and we reversed.

Somewhere along the long route, there was a lack of a route for pedestrian, so I got off my bike and walked along with him (walking on his rollerblades) in the grass. There were two cars on the grass, ironically one at the start point of the grass route (where the pedestrian route 'disappears') and the other at the end point (where the pedestrian route appears again). First car has a driver playing with his PDA, while the second car was parked (or we could say abandoned *shifty eyes* poor car :( ) and empty.

Nineth square is the bus stop outside Temasek Secondary. Before we reach the bus stop, we agreed to have a break there, when Yujun suddenly accelerated. Due to the fact that one of my ear is listening to music from my MP3, I could not rather effectively listen to what he was speaking. Wondering why he accelerated, I turned around, and to my horror, figured out the answer. THERE WAS A FREAKING BUS CHASING ME!!! Of course, I sped up like hell, not daring to stop, cursing with vulgarities loudly while I fled for my life. XD Finally seeing a slope ahead that connects the road (I did not go up the pedestrian route from the 'grass route' like Yujun, as bicycles are not suitable to go up heights without damage, if you get what I mean XD), I headed it and reversed to the bus stop, taking a break. Another bus stopped, and when the door opened, a strong cold gale of cooling breeze gushed out of it and refreshed us. Was really enjoyable, the air conditioning, after a long period of cycling under the hot hot sun. ;)

We continued. Somewhere, before turning left, we took a break in a bus stop. Upon seeing a bus stopping, I hurriedly rush towards the door, hoping for another gale of air con rushing out, lol. Nothing came out, and the bus driver was like, "Boy, you want to get aboard?" XD Yujun was sorta wondering what the heck was I doing before I explained, lol.

We turned left (south in other words) towards East Coast. Went and went and suddenly saw a barricade and the end of the pedestrian route, as the adjacent car road leads to ECP. We crossed the two roads (one for cars entering ECP and another for exiting), headed a short route passing the swimming pool of a condominium and to the tunnel passing ECP (rofl, I typo-ed ECP as EXP before correcting it XD). There, before the tunnel, we took a short break. I pointed out the 'no smoking' sign to Yujun at the start of the tunnel, and he imitated smoking, rofl.

Crossed the tunnel, went to the food court again, ordered a plate of oyster omelette (okay, now I know what to properly call it, instead of 'oyster with egg' XD) again, ordered two cups of lime juice, dug in, yeah.

Wanted to find the uncle from last week again. We remembered him telling us that he fishes in TEH ROCKs labeled 6, 12 and 16 (I could remember wrongly though). We went to TEH ROCK labeled 12, the one we went to last week, and saw two fishermen and a couple. Not wanting to disturb the couple, we headed right (right if you are at East Coast and looking at the direction of the sea. In other words, west), heading for 12. I found out at the next TEH ROCK that it was labeled 11 and we should be heading left if we wanted to go to 16. T_T Whatever, we went on, and after a while, decided to take a break on a bench. After a while, we got bored, so I called my father. He took his lorry to East Coast, I got my bike up, and we went to my house, where we played PlayStation2 and he played my Warcraft III. Lol.

Don't worry, guys, up to now, I still have not do my homework yet. XD Time to do it now, I suppose. *stares at homework for five seconds* How... the... fuck... do... you... do... ...Never mind *chucks it backwards where it lands in the toilet bowl* Settled. Time to play! Storm, earth and fire - Heed my call!!

*shifty eyes*

One Piece 300

w00t One Piece 300 is out at last! :D

After the standard introduction about Gol D. Roger, wow! No flashback on past episode? Unbelievable!

Fierce God Zoro! The Incarnation of Asura Shown by his Spirit

Start of the episode shows Zoro and Kaku staring at each other. Zoro executes a rather nice Hyou Kin Dama. Kaku got cut, when he thought he could dodge it. It appears that Zoro has predicted how Kaku is going to dodge. After more dialogue, Kaku unleashes Rankyaku Shuriken, but Zoro blocks and deflects them with lightning reflexes. Kaku then unleashes Kiriman Jaro, hitting Zoro in his stomach. Kaku then uses Henchikirin, using his neck as a whip to whip Zoro. Zoro rolls out of the way after getting hit twice, but Kaku uses a faster version, the Mouchikirin, all of which striking Zoro painfully. Kaku then uses Gekirin, and the two clashes against each other in a swordfight, Yontoryuu against Santoryuu, blue sparks flying everywhere. Kaku constantly advances, while Zoro had to retreat backwards. After a while, Kaku manages to slash Zoro, but the two returns to the swordfight again. Kaku then comments that mere pirates do not stand a chance against the World Government, including Robin. This angers Zoro, as a dark spirit starts to overwhelm Zoro temporarily. He points his katana at Kaku intimidatingly, and Kaku remarks that for a moment, Zoro looked like a fierce god with three faces and six arms. Zoro comments that Kaku got cocky and talked too much, while Kaku asks if he offended Zoro. Kaku then prepares to unleash a Rankyaku Amanedachi (yes, the same attack that cut the Judicial Tower into two). Kaku remarks that he is going to slice Zoro into two, but Zoro, obviously mad, replies that Kaku should be the one to give up. A dark aura overwhelms the wind generated by Kaku spinning, and the background goes entirely black. Zoro crosses Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri, and two more heads and four more hands grow out of him. Kaku realizes that it is the demon again, and asks if he is creating illusions with his soul alone. Zoro crosses his nine swords as Kaku sends his most powerful Rankyaku at Zoro.

Zoro thinks of the Judicial Tower, of Fukurou showing the Straw Hats the key, of Sogeking getting owned by Jyabura, of Chopper in Monster Point, of Sanji after being injured by Jyabura, of Nami crying, of the six staring at Robin, Franky and CP9 from the top of the Courthouse, of Robin crying, of the burning of the World Government flag, and shouts a howl of strength.

With a powerful slash, he cuts open Rankyaku Amanedachi, shocking Kaku. Zoro then jumps towards Kaku and uses Asura Ichibugin, cutting him lethally. Kaku falls on his knees and transforms back into human form, spitting out a lot of blood. He collapses onto the floor, and Zoro sheaths his swords (his extra two heads and four arms have disappeared). The damage done to the Wolf's Den is also clearly seen, with quakes and crumbling rocks. Zoro pants exhaustedly and takes off his bandana. He conveys the message from Paulie, telling him that he is fired.

Kaku remembers the days back at Water 7, where he is jumping around buildings. He remembers Paulie, tears and blood in his faces as he shouts that he always thought of Lucci, Kaku and Kalifa as his nakama. Kaku remorses over it, and comments that assassins are unable to find any other jobs. Zoro jokingly asks if Kaku would like to work in a zoo and Kaku laughs, handing his key over to Zoro. He then lies down and rests, his eyes closed. Zoro apologizes as he takes the key.

Sanji runs over, and asks the 'marimo' if he got the key or not. Zoro told Sanji that he just did, and Sanji comments that he overdid it, looking at the damage to the building around him. He comments that the tower has slipped more, and whether it would be okay or not. Zoro believes that it does not even matter, and throws his key to Sanji. Now that the Straw Hats have all of the keys, Zoro suggests that they hurry and get to Robin.

Back at the main island, Oimo and Kaashi are carrying the entire Franky Family (excluding Franky of course), Paulie, Lulu, Zambai, Sodom, Gomorrah and Yokozuna, running for their lives. The giants comment that since they are riding, they should keep quiet. "Go, in the name of Elbaf!" XD

Scene changes to Kokoro, Chopper, Chimney and Gonbe, running through the underwater passage to get to the Bridge of Hesistation. Kokoro takes another drink, and Chopper starts to fall. Chimney shouts for her to pick Chopper up, and Kokoro asks if it is an order jokingly.

Commercial break, with Zoro and Luffy as eyecatches. When are they going to make one for Franky? Lol.

Now that the Gate of Justice is opening, the seawater gushes out towards Enies Lobby. The bridge connecting to the Gate opens, and Spandam laughs evilly, and he asks for the Marines to come as reinforcements. Spandam shows Robin some gate that sort of brings her from heaven to hell (whatever crap Spandam is talking). Robin stares at the gate, her heartbeat rising, she starts to run away, but Spandam stops her, pulling her hair. Robin struggles and breaks out of Spandam's grab, remarking that she does not want to die as she runs away. Behind her, Spandam catches her and tries to pull her up to stand, but he is unable to. It appears that Robin is biting the bridge to prevent herself from moving (it looks so painful, especially with all the blood T_T). Spandam tries to pull Robin again, while insulting her verbally. Robin again remarks that she does not want to die, as she silently prays for her nakama to save her.

Luffy's fight against Lucci continues. Luffy punches Lucci, but Lucci dodges with a Soru and strikes with Shigan. It hits Luffy's chest, but since Luffy is a rubber man, Shigan is as painful to him as a bullet (in other words, no effect). Lucci then unleashes a Shigan Ouren, hitting Luffy with a rapid-fire version of Shigan. Luffy gets flung backwards, and Franky, after worrying about Straw Hat for a while, decides to get back to worrying about getting through the door. He sprints towards the door, but Lucci once again uses Soru to block his path. Franky then runs up to Lucci to attack with Strong Hammer, but Lucci uses his Tekkai. A green burst of light erupts, and Franky comments that he is unable to deal any damage to Lucci, whereas the same attack sent "Chapapa" [Lol, Franky, that is a nice nickname for Fukurou] flying. Lucci asks if Franky defeated Fukurou before coming here, but he apologizes, noting that his Douriki is five times Fukurou's. Lucci then attacks Franky with some sort of rapid-fire punch or Shigan or sorts, making Franky moan in pain. Lucci comments that Franky did well defeating Fukurou, and that his strength is superhuman as well. Franky remarks that Lucci is in a completely different league. Lucci now asks Franky to die, but Luffy hits him with a Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol. Yes, Jet Pistol! He activates Gear Second!!

The attack sends Lucci flying into a crate, busting it. Franky stares with open eyes and mouth at the speed and power of Luffy's attack. Franky turns towards Luffy and asks "What the hell!?", for Luffy has pink skin, and smoke is erupting out of his body. Pwnage Gear Second. :D Luffy then shouts "Gear Second!" (Isn't he supposed to shout Gear Second first before hitting Lucci with Jet Pistol? O.o) Lucci sits up straight, clutching his head. Luffy comments that he is unable to keep Gear Second up for too long, but he will stop Lucci, so Franky should go on ahead, commenting that Robin is waiting. Franky remarks that he has no clue what Luffy is doing, but Luffy should beat Lucci anyway, as he runs for the door. Lucci goes into half-human half-leopard form, telling Franky again that he would not allow that. Franky freaks out, asking if Lucci is a Devil Fruit user too (okay, he's slow in this aspect). Lucci comments that he would get rid of Franky first, disappearing with a Soru. Franky looks around, trying to determine which direction the attack will come from. As Lucci appears in front of Franky, Luffy uses his own Soru to go between Lucci and Franky, and attacks with a Gomu Gomu no Jet Whip, sending Lucci flying. Lucci reminds Luffy that in his half-human half-leopard form, he has defeated Luffy in a single blow back at the Galley-La building, but Luffy comments that he got better after he ate meat. This pisses Lucci off as he disappears with a Soru and appears in front of Luffy, striking him with a Shigan. Luffy dodges it with a Soru, and appears in the air behind Lucci. Lucci turns backwards and activates Tekkai, and Luffy unleashes a powerful Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka, sending Lucci flying into a wall. Franky then takes the chance to run past, and Luffy once again asks him to get Robin, as Franky throws the doors open and runs into the light, assuring that he will do it.

Spandam is still trying to get Robin to move. Robin starts to cry, reminding herself that her nakama will come to save her.

Luffy and Lucci stares at each other, smoke and dust flying everywhere. Luffy starts to pant.

TO BE CONTINUED

Lol the preview of next episode has Sogeking singing his song.

On a side note, I was watching Digimon Savers. The main character, Daimon Masaru, was having a maths test. A question was like, a big brother went out of the house at a speed of 80 metres per second. Ten minutes later, her younger sister ran out of the house following him at a speed of 200 metres per second. What is the distance from the house where they will meet? And Masaru was like "The big brother should wait for her sister." XD Genius

Edit: Re-reading this, I was like WTF, 200m/s!! Sorry, correct it to metres per minute. XD XD

Basketball

Went out to play basketball with Sean and Hong Wei today.

We agreed to meet up at 1.15pm, so armed with my basketball, I left my house at 12.30pm. I was practicing at the basketball court near my house for a while, while waiting for the bus to come, and oh gosh, I can't even get a shot in. >_< If practice makes perfect, then I'm terrible. ^_^" I don't play basketball much anyway, lol.

The bus came, and I stopped at the bus stop near Sean's house, agreeing to meet there first before we go off to meet Hong Wei at our designated meeting point. At Sean's house's void deck, while waiting for him, I was listening to my MP3, and before I can even enjoy the music for an entire music, some lame bangla came to me and talked a lot of cock about some stupid organization I don't give a damn about. It's not that I don't have the compassion to help, it's just that 1. I am happening to be listening to music and I don't like to be disturbed, 2. After waiting for my friend, we are going off to meet another friend, and I do not like to keep the latter waiting, 3. I don't like that bangla and 4. I know I'm racist. So, whatever, just listened to some of his cock out of courtesy, blah blah, then Sean came. His face when he walked out of the lift was like 'What the fuck? Why is Samy talking to a bangla?' sort of face. XD So anyway, the bangla also sort of forced Sean to listen to his cock together, so blah blah blah, lol. Halfway, the bangla asked whether Sean is a Singaporean, and I silently thought, "No, no, you bastard, he's from Bangladesh" (I was being sarcastic, lol). During the entire conversation, the bangla was like "I'm not asking you anything, really." Then at the end of the entire crappy conversation, he wants us to buy some stupid tickets for five bucks each. What the fuck? He could have skipped the entire crappy conversation, together with his fake claim that he is not asking anything from us, and just sell us the damn tickets, but no, he has to bullshit and bullshit and bullshit. That's why I hate banglas. I was like talking to Sean in Chinese, "Let's get some way to get the hell out of here.", and Sean even wanted to just donate two bucks, lol. I wouldn't even donate two cents if it were me. Then the bangla won't accept the two dollars, lol. Sean was being really stupid in my opinions, just give the two dollars to someone having to sleep in the streets (I saw two when I had to go to the clinic during midnight the previous day), rather than giving it to a bangla who wouldn't even accept Sean's parents' hard-earnt money (it IS really hard-earnt, as Sean's family's economical status is not exactly what we can call good). So anyway, after a long while, the bangla finally decided to scram. Freaking hell, I hate people who wastes time talking crap.

On the way to the bus stop near the library, where the three of us agreed to meet, Sean was talking about some funny video he was watching, lol. Halfway, he comments that he is hungry as he has not have lunch yet, and after adding that I did not have lunch too, we went to a bakery. He bought a waffle (lol, finally I know what a waffle is, as well as what to call the food item you buy at bakeries XD), while I bought nothing, as I was not hungry. While waiting for the waffle, he was talking about two funny occasions that happened while he was swimming yersterday.

Firstly, there were a group of girls (a bit older than him, if I remember what he said correctly) who had a goggle at the bottom of the deep pool (which is 1.8 metres if I remember correctly). Sean, thinking the girls could not reach it, went to dive and pick up the goggles for them (now there's your hero saving damsels in distress XD). Turns out the girls were just having diving practices. I can practically imagine the girls' faces, all staring at Sean like and thinking "What the fuck is this boy doing?" XD Better luck next time, Sean!

Secondly, he was at the deep pool, when there is a Malay kid (about 5 to 6 years old if I remembers correctly) at the deep pool. He was like 20 centimetres away from the border of the pool, yet he seems to be struggling as if almost drowning and needing help. Sean, thinking that he was just fooling around, did not seem to bother, but as he witnesses the life guard walking down the tower, he thought that there seems to be something wrong, so he helped the kid to get up to land. Turns out the kid was really drowning rofl. 20 centimetres from the border by the way. Have fun.

After that, we went to the supermarket to buy drinks for playing basketball later. We bought a large bottle of H2O, and then proceed to the bus stop near the library. We reached there at 1.05pm, and I was predicting Hong Wei would be late. Sean SMSed his cousin, Desmond, who lives nearby, asking if he wants to come and play basketball together. Apparently, Desmond gives Sean too much crap, so Sean just says forget it, lol. At about 1.14pm, we got bored of waiting at the hot bus stop and decided to go to the nearby library to wait, when Hong Wei turns up, running towards us and wearing his school PE T-shirt.

We actually wanted to go to the basketball court located near SunPlaza Park, but Hong Wei suggests that the basketball court in Tampines North Community Center is much better, so whatever, we went there. We had a match, where since Hong Wei is such a pro in basketball, Sean and I teamed up against him. Sean was really good in blocking Hong Wei's movements, and when Sean fails, I'll run up from behind to stop him, lol. The basketball court is located just next to a steep slope that leads right to a road, so twice (or is it thrice?) has our basketball rolled down and into the road. Once (or is it twice?) I hurriedly went down and kicked the ball towards the court while avoiding cars, and once Sean went. What the hell, trying to make it dangerous for basketball players and car drivers alike? The two of us lost 6 to 7, haha, but it was a good match nevertheless (Hong Wei shoots too many three-pointers, compared to us, who sucks in shooting XD).

We rested for a while, drinking almost two-thirds of what we bought. After a long chat between three best friends in the same school four years ago and same class five years ago, we started playing H-O-R-S-E. We had scissors-paper-stone to determine the order. Hong Wei and I both got a scissors, while Sean got a paper, so we decided that he goes first. Next, Hong Wei and I played, and I won, so I used the excuse that I win to decide the order, and that I go first (Hong Wei is so pro at shooting whoever is behind him is sure to be dead, so I 'sacrificed' Sean for it XD). Sean was losing rapidly, so I decided to annoy Hong Wei by shooting really close to the basket, lol. I only got a 'O', while Hong Wei got a 'R' and Sean got a 'S'. When Sean got a 'E' and was out, I forfeited as well, lol, seeing that I can't possibly beat him one-on-one. XD

I suggested going to Tampines Mall to enjoy the air-con and cool down, lol, and they agreed after a while. We went, and along the way, bought another bottle of H2O at the same supermarket. At Tampines Mall, we went to Popular, and I bought Pokémon Adventures Volume 11, while Sean showed off the wide variety of manga he read to Hong Wei (something that is being getting standard, whenever Sean approaches a shop selling anime and manga). Borrowed Sean's Popular card for a discount, but lol, some shit rule about 'fixed price', so no discount. XD

We went to sit down at a staircase between the basement and the first floor. Sean was initially sharing the audio and video clips in his handphone to Hong Wei and me, while I read my newly bought manga. Sean then discussed with Hong Wei about various mangas and animes and stuff. After about a long hour or so, I persuaded them to continue playing basketball. Initially they refused, but still went, lol.

We went to a nearby basketball court, but there are already people playing there, but the hot sun makes those two lazy bums lethargic, so we were just sitting down and watching the rest play. After a long while, I persuade them to head to the basketball court near Yujun's house.

We went there, and had three-pointer shootouts to determine who team with who. Halfway, three people challenged us to a three-on-three match, and I was like "We are bound to lose", lol. Sean accepted it. Was playing quite seriously at first, but then some guy gave me the 'really furious' face, and I could tell he is a gangster, lol, so I just play with no motivation, lest he starts to beat me up. Pfft, I don't wanna clean blood off my sword again, it's a pain in the ass. So anyway, we lost, lol. Sean scored a three-pointer (which seems to be really lucky), while Hong Wei scored most of the goals on our team. Heh.

We went to sit down, drinking drinks that we bought from a nearby convenience store. After a boring long while, I once again had to persuade them to continue playing basketball. Seriously, they are too lazy, rofl. XD After much effort, we finally went back to the basketball court, but there were three Malay bitches playing soccer. Fearing being hit, we instead went to play monkey rofl.

After a while, we bought more drinks, and then Hong Wei left to catch a bus, while I accompanied Sean to his house, where my father's car is waiting to fetch me. XD

Severe Stomachache

Yesterday night, before sleeping, I was reading Wikipedia articles on Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, lol, awaiting its release in 22 April, lol. Then, when I went to bed, I sort of dreamt about Pokémon lol, conquering the eight gyms throughout the Sinnoh region, riding on my Charizard and flying in the skies, riding on my Entei and running through the wind. Suddenly, I had a really really severe stomachache that hurts as painful as three earthquakes, four tornados, five blizzards, six tsunamis, seven thunderstorms and eight firestorms combined. T_T Yeah, it was really painful. I was growling and roaring with pain, but it does not seem to want to go away.

After an hour or so, my mother finally offered to bring me to the clinic (while complaining about the high costs >_>). We quickly took a taxi there, where my pain is already growing like hell (when crossing a hump, I somehow felt worse lol, so I gasped and the taxi driver was like "Sorry! Sorry!" :P). We reached the clinic, and the doctor inspected me and gave me an injection (which does not really relieve all the pain, just part of it, but I'm glad already). Then my father had to come to bring us home, especially when he just started work a few hours ago (night shift).

Holy Saradomin Breath, I sure have seen them in a better light. And to think I thought they don't care about me, and because of that I became a delinquent... Yosh! From today onwards, I shall repay them! I shall be a good boy! I shall be fillal to my parents! XD

Note: Happy pie day!

One Piece Movie 8

Lol, the eighth One Piece movie: Episode of Alabasta, Princess of the Desert and the Pirates is already out in Japan for like nine days. Can't wait for it to be subbed. :P

Found some pictures as well lol.



Awwww, Vivi looks so poor thing and yet cute at the same time.



It's Ephraim! Fear teh Okama Way! ...Nah, it's just Mr. 2 Bon Clay. :3



Zoro clashes against Mr. 1's Spiral Hollows attack. Can't wait to see Zoro unleashing Shishi Sonson in HDTV XD (wait, he did unleashed it in HDTV, episode 299 when he fought Kaku o.O).



I wonder whether Luffy, while saving Robin (or Miss All-Sunday as she was known back then), would cause his crew a whole lot of trouble (like going through Enies Lobby?) XD



Okay, this is just pwnage. Can't wait to see Luffy do a Gomu Gomu no Storm in HDTV as well XD (the one used against Aokiji suck, okay? :3)

And a bonus picture from manga chapter 448. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Franky and Robin are under attack by a group of zombies. Thus,



PWNAGE! "600.000.000 Beri" in the name of the combo attack refers to their combined bounty, which is actually (300 000 000 + 120 000 000 + 80 000 000 + 77 000 000 + 44 000 000) Beri = 621 000 000 Beri to be precise. XD Other than that, yeah, it pwns. XD

Cycling Trip With Yujun

Went on a tiring cycling trip with Yujun.

At 1.30pm, I left my house, having to walk due to the tyres of my bicycle having no air in them. I pumped them with air halfway, and then cycled to Yujun's house. Here's a map.



The 'X's used to mark locations on the map magically turned into 'H's. Don't ask, don't tell. :P

I'm walking from east to west by the way (Right to left for idiots who fail in navigation). First, blue H is when Yujun called me, hurrying me. Second, yellow H is when I pumped my tyres with air, and I cycled the rest of the journey. Olive green square is Yujun's house.

Reached his house at 2pm, and after a while, grabbing his bag and rollerblades, Yujun was ready to go, and we depart to East Coast. Another map is in order.



This time we were travelling from north to south (up to down for failures). We first went on a detour to get ourselves some drinks (the first blue square is where we bought our drinks). We bought a 1.5 litre of mineral water and a 1.5 litre of coca-cola to share among ourselves. We then went all the way, taking a break here and there in bus stops along the way whenever we are tired (I did not note them on the map because there are too many stops we break at. Don't expect me to memorize exactly every single location). On a particular break, he went to look at what songs I had in my handphone, and I found out that he listened to Hikari E (the third Opening of anime One Piece) as well! XD The second square marks the location of one of the bus stops we rested in. It was memorable because I see some Scouts walked past. Wanted to go disturb them, rofl. Another break, I shared with him the audio clip of the two Chinese men harrassing the Indian. Was laughing like no tomorrow, rofl. Scared him quite a bit with my laughter lol.

See the brown line near the bottom of the map? Between the red and brown lines (more to the north), I saw the map. One glance and I could tell this is what they call a "park connector", and following the road would bring us to East Coast. I stopped Yujun (who memorized the route and wanted to move straight, turning at a junction in front) and then we decided to use it.

It was a freaking mistake. The road is so loooooooooooooooooooooooooooong and boring. No scenery, no benches for resting, no cars challenging your authority, just a road with a stinking drain beside you. And did I mention it was loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong? Half way past the Bedok Camp adjacent to us, there were these big words "ELITE GUARDS". And the first thing I thought was the quote made by Rexxar in the third and final Orc campaign of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne when the Orcs finally reached the Elite Guards trying to defend Admiral Proudmoore - "The Admiral's Elite Guards are trying to cut us off! Slay them immediately!" (or something like that). XD

After travelling that looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong road, I can safely tell you now that I hate stripes. Useless pieces of shit placed on the road when it is going to turn sharply (90 degrees) or downhill, they effectively cut off that speed you gathered up hardworkingly by at least three quarters. God damn it. Clever people will know how to effectively turn to avoid crashing or simply just brakes and slows down (which does not cause major vibrations, I may add) and turn. The stripes are useful, yes, but only in stopping idiots who are unable to turn his bicycle left or right, idiots who are unable to slow down and/or stop his bicycles and/or idiots not wanting to slow down or turn (in which case I fully assure you that they deserve to crash ahead and die). In other words, the stripes are as useful as... I can't think of something that is completely useless. X( In other words, the stripes are completely useless.

After the loooooooooooooooooooooong road, we reached a tunnel that will allow us to cross under the East Coast Parkway. It was rather stupid to be honest. The tunnel connects to the Park Connector (which only bicycles and rollerblades will use, seeing that the tunnel is in fact in the middle of nowhere). Yet, they put staircases there. Clever, clever. For goodness' sake, just put a slope there. It can be steep, yes, just walk down the staircases while grabbing onto your bicycles, applying the brake at 50%. Much much better than carrying your bike and walking down. -_-

We then decided to go to the food court. Halfway, I was ringing like mad, yet a boy refused to make way, still standing in the middle of the road. Note that I was going downhill. Anyway, seeing that the bugger wouldn't get lost, I had to quickly brake like crazy, with brakes to both wheels as well as two feets on the ground. Luckily I stopped right in front of him. His father came and lectured me, something about going extreme speed at pedestrains' road. If he thought I would pay attention, then he is utterly wrong, for I don't give a damn.

Halfway, we saw a structure for cyclists and other people to go up for a better view of the East Coast Park (it was still under construction two months ago when we went there). We obviously went up, taking the only spiralling path around the circular structure with our bicycles and rollerblades. The center part (which is taller, thus leading to a better view) is barricaded, presumely still under construction, yet two (I don't know what adjectives to use. Were they brave, or simply had a death wish?) Malays went up. Yujun was smoking, while I was walking around looking at the view.

We went to the food court, and Yujun ordered a plate of oysters with egg and curry for the two of us to share. It was so hot I was drinking coca-cola with every bite lol. XD Apparently the plate of oysters caused ten bucks. Whoa, I would surely think twice before buying if I were him. XD

Please refer to this Wikipedia picture. See that rocky thing in the center vertically and to the right horizontally? I shall refer to it as "TEH ROCK". No arguments about it please. :)

Feeling awfully tired, we decided to find one TEH ROCK to sit down and rest. We found one at about 3.45pm with no one, but we had to cross a 'bridge' of 'rocks', passing the sea and the waves, to get to it.



See the thing at the end of the 'bridge'?



It's my faithful and loyal bike! :D

When we got there, we sat down and rest. There were some empty glass beer bottles, and Yujun took one and rolled it down TEH ROCK into the sea. Pointless lol, just contributes to the water pollution. And Yujun yet claims the glass reacts with the seawater to pollute it. XD



He was sitting down, enjoying the breeze and the view (more like enjoying his cigarette though), while I was photographing around, taking photos of every little thing that interests me. XD



Pretty waves that go up TEH ROCK. Two went so high up the first one hit my legs and the second one had water droplets on my map (which we took out to study the route we took here).



In Singapore, no matter where you go, you will always see tall buildings. That is a fact.

The sky is so clear...! O.O Too bad the sun is a bit hot. Curse the sunburnt I got there. X(

A while later, a uncle with a fishing rod (obviously he is here to fish) came, and Yujun, interested in fishing as well, started to talk with the uncle. I joined in later. The uncle was really nice, lol. We talked about a lot of things too. Apparently, he once saw a female ang mo skinny dipping in East Coast in the afternoon, and Yujun was like so horny, "Did you take a photo?" XD

At 4.30pm we left, and cycled all the way back to Tampines. Was damn tired during and after the journey rofl. Halfway, Yujun almost tripped and fell (his whole body lunged forward), but fortunately he regained his balance. Unfortunately, he dropped his spectacles, and on my rush to ensure his safety, I went forward, too late to react to his "No! Stop!" and crush his specs with my wheels. Sorry, Yujun. :(

After that, we went to Yujun's house, lol.

CA Results Are Out

Phew, got back CA results. Let's have a brief look.

Subject - Marks - Grade
English Language - 67 - B3
Chinese - 51 - C6
Additional Mathematics - 96 - A1
Mathematics - 87 - A1
Chemistry - 60 - B4
Physics - 89 - A1
Combined Humanities (S, H) - 60 - B4
Geography - 65 - B3

At first glance, you can easily notice that the subjects that I am good at, I scored high. For the rest, I just passed. Now that is an irritating problem. XD

Hmm... My English, E. Maths and Chemistry have improved somewhat, my Chinese and Geography have worsened, my Humanities remain the lousy same and my A Maths and Physics have improved a great deal.

I'm rather surprised at my A. Maths, being able to get 97, when I used to have trouble with it. I am also rather proud of my Physics and E. Maths. All three subjects involve a calculator, so I guess I'll have to admit that I love my calculator.

The rest are all borderline stuff. Guess I gotta be glad that I didn't fail any of those already. =3

Let's see, my L1R5 is... 13. SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
