Whoohoooo, alright!

Yay, Saturday, the day I always look forward to, this is the day both One Piece and Bleach scanlations come out!

One Piece chapter 471 is nice, lol, though I wouldn't go so far as to say that it was worth the wait of two weeks. ^_^" Both unconscious girls (Nami and Perona) wake up, Nami defeats Absalom (already weakened by Sanji) with the help of Lola, while Perona witness Oz's rampaging [he's looking around for the other three remaining Straw Hats (Luffy, Nami and Sogeking. Note: He is unable to recognize that Usopp is Sogeking, lmao), and I bet destroying buildings while searching for people will make the search easier, eh? ^__^" It seems to go along with Oz's personality as well, lmao] and decided to run for it.

Meanwhile, the six Straw Hats who were defeated by Oz last chapter woke up and started marching towards Oz, looking for a rematch. It's cool how Franky takes out that huge-ass nunchaku made of two stone pillars he defeated Talleran (remember the spider-monkey who Franky defeated with the help of Robin and Brooke?) with, and Zoro tying his bandanna, lol. I'm sure we can expect a kickass fight next chapter. Let's all look forward to it. XD

Bleach chapter 292 is cool, to say the least, lol. Lucky Ichigo, he gets two girls for himself, lmao. XD After Nnoitra goes down, both Nell and Orihime charge at Ichigo, rofl, but it was Nell who manages to hug Ichigo first, making him blush like shit, rofl. Then guess what? Nnoitra isn't really down yet. He stands back up, holding that huge-ass zanpakutou of his. Nmaa, just as I expected, Nnoitra isn't going to go down without releasing his zanpakutou, lol.

Meanwhile, the scene shifts back to Renji, Ishida, Pesshe and Dondo's fight against Szayel. Poor Renji, he got beat around by Pesshe and Dondo, thinking that the real Renji is just a fake, rofl. XD Ishida comes along, and being the smart guy, reveals an obvious difference between the real Pesshe and Dondo and the fake Pesshes and Dondos respectively, allowing the four of them to differentiate the enemies more easily. But alas, we don't get to see how they take advantage of this, because Renji, thinking that the arena is too small for such a large number of enemies, activates Bankai. This prompts all of the fake Renjis to activate their Bankais as well, and naturally, the fact that so many gigantic Hihiou Zabimarus pop up at once mean that the whole building collapsed, lol... Szayel was pissed off by this; he destroyed the clones and decided to proceed to the fight himself.

Damn it, stop shifting between scenes, just focus on one, make sure that that Espada really goes down for the count, before continuing onto the other. -_____-

And having nothing to do yesterday, I went to read Zombie Powder, by Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach, before he started working on Bleach, lol. Yeah, the only reason that I would go and read Zombie Powder is because it's done by Tite Kubo, lol...

The manga is quite good, I must say. Too bad Kubo only did four volumes, so the story seems to get interrupted halfway, without any ending. If only he can continue working on Zombie Powder, haha... But wait, if he does that, it would end up affecting his work on Bleach, so... never mind.

So, the manga is about this guy named Akutabi Gamma (strange, Gamma has a height of 190cm, so then why is he named Gamma? The reason why we nicknamed Ephraim "gamma ray" is because of his short height ). He's got a freaking huge-ass chainsword (the size of Ichigo's Zangetsu. Kubo really likes his main characters to wield huge swords, eh?), his hand has been inserted with armour (allowing him to block bullets with ease), and he's the master of this technique named Karin Zanjutsu, allowing him to grow black flames out of his body, to use for offense and defense. Sounds weird, huh? O.o

And he has this partner named C.T. Smith, weird name. He dresses like a salesman, equipped with a briefcase, (even though Kubo wants him to look like a London banker o.O) is a gunman, and shoots with freaking accuracy (he's even able to shoot at some guy behind him without even looking, and headshots him in one hit. Freaking crazy accuracy.). Oh, and he wears spectacles. o.O Kind of like Ichigo and Ishida in Bleach, lol.

And together, they search for twelve Rings of the Dead, make Zombie Powder with them, which can be used to gain immortality and revive the dead. Too bad the series was canceled when Gamma has only two Rings and found a third. -.-

All right, that's all for blogging today. I might as well go and study...

Oh, and freaking hell, can someone please remind me what happened yesterday? If the time plane is like a book, and today is page 289 and 290, then someone must have torn away the piece of paper in the book containing page 287 and 288, because I can't remember what happened yesterday... I just get a white screen everytime I try hard to think what happened yesterday, but I couldn't think of anything, just a white screen...



And damn, I guess I really couldn't concentrate on studying, because I was reading my Geography textbook just now on Tourism, when there is a map of Malaysia, highlighting where the places of tourist attractions are. My mind wandered, and I felt a certain curiosity to determine the distance between Singapore and Genting, lol.

So I went to Google Map, and after spending a long time getting frustrated at Google Map, because no matter how I tried I got this:



I then decided to get the coordinates by jumping straight into the location of Genting, right-click the estimated location and select "Directions from here". Only, this happened:



Yup, that wasted fifteen minutes of my life. -__- I got frustrated and merely found the straight-line distance. So in other words, my distance is very screwed up and is probably much less than the actual distance, because the distance I get is by going directly straight towards Genting, bashing whatever trees, forests, mountains, structures, buildings, settlements and obstacles in your way. It sure earned my respect, making me raise an eyebrow.

So, right, the straight-line distance I got was 292.3km. That means that if you go at 80km/h, you should be able to reach there after three and a half hours. Provided if your speed can stay constant at 80km/h while knocking boulders, trees and people down. Or provided your car can last driving in a constant speed of 80km/h while knocking into shit and make it there in one piece. If Titanic sank just after one crash against an iceberg, I doubt your car would be able to reach there safely.
