Born in the wrong era? No. There is no wrong era.

happened to catch some random highlights of the winter games last night.
think i'm becoming a fan of curling already. haha.
and i want to try skiing one day. like ski jumping looks awesome. i think flying down is super cool la.
anyway also caught a bit of the women's figure skating event. the short program i think it's called.
and there's this girl, joannie rochette from canada.
her mother had just passed away a couple of days ago after reaching vancouver for the games. wah seh. how to compete like that sia..
so that's the back story.
saw parts of her performance on the ice. and, as i suppose is mandatory, she was smiling widely through her whole program which they say she is dedicating to her mom.
so as she's nailing her jumps, i'd guess that the thought of her mom is floating about in her head loh. and she's still smiling. she must ba.
and then she completes her last bit and the performance stops with her in her end pose. still fighting back the tears.
and then she starts to cry.
emo sia.
she gotta psycho herself to smile for that short program while thinking of her mom keeping the sadness inside. the feeling sucks la.
but very commendable. olympics is nice to watch...

recently have been very sian.
feels much like my jc days...
no drive to do anything. just wanna float about.
want to nua the whole day.
got the church thing to do which i actually feel sian to plan.
not looking forward to it in the look forward to a match sense. which is normal i guess. but i think i'm supposed to look forward to it?
i don't want to work la. don't wan to do anything! BAH!
just feel sian la! sian sian sian sian sian!
dun like to plan things just want to be told what to do. haiz.
seriously sian. haha.
want to watch football. haha. things like that take my mind off other things... a full 90 minutes of distraction. but i got no mio tv! means i cant watch mid-week!
only got weekends! haiz!
the silly thing is it is irritating to be sian but still i am sian.
like a slump. what the heck man. dohhhhh.
more irritable recently.
haiz. simple life la. i dun wan to think.
lazy to think recently also.
haha. isn't all this wrong?
chi. sian.

room has finally been cleaned.
like 97% liao. just some random things that i wan to throw but have not come around to doing only. but cant be bothered la. maybe tmr.
cleaning is therapeutic. remember how i used to get lost in hours of cleaning last time. just on music loud loud and get lost in my own world. slowly sorting through things arranging things. putting them nicely for nobody but myself to appreciate.
ball got 2 muse cds from skool and 1 from james. at my requests. been listening to nothing else these past few days. wonderful.
pama just got a 100hz phillips tv. stunning pictures. been trying to worm my way into getting them to swop with me since they cant see the diff anyway. haha. think i might have succeeded. but if dun have really is no big deal la. of course.
somehow i've recently kinda taken to shikamaru's perspective on life. increasingly seeing things as troublesome. would much rather just chill out. dun wan to be bothered with doing stuff. but at the end of the day still back to doing stuff la. ah, talking rubbish.
chi. happy new year huh?
troublesome la..

tricks of the trade

how to pee in a urinal without having to suffer the terrible backsplash?

well, to do this, first find those round type urinals not flat one. then when peeing, angle your stream of yellow liquid to be almost tangential to the curve of urinal. this will transfer the energy and dissipate it out to the curve. hence less energy will be rebounded back to the yellow drops that will eventually leave the urinal and stain your pants or hands or feet. smell away, stain away, unhappiness away! equals to smile on your face and a good peeing experience.

how to pangsai without having to suffer the even more terrible backsplash?

there are 3 ways to do this.

the first way is straight-forward enough, but is most susceptible to failure. the pre-requisites are harder too. your chocolate cake must be long enough such that it sort of 'slides' into the water straight and controlled, like an acrobatic diver. this will produce very little splash but should you chocolate cake come short, you will still have a splash, or if you chocolate cake falls sideways. equally dire outcome. attempt at your own risk. however it must be added that if executed well, it will be a beautiful sight. in one smooth motion and with a therapeutic 'schloop' sound, your chocolate cake will be sitting at the bottom of your toilet bowl. delectable, just like a well made chocolate cake.

the second way is simple and elegant and easy to execute, however if you have a bad aim, please do not attempt this. similar to the peeing technique, the idea is to easy your effluence into the water. hence it must land tangential to the ceramic part of the bowl that is out of the water. hence the force will be absorbed by the bowl and not by the water. this will eliminate the terrible splash. of course, you can just aim to defecate onto the ceramic portion head on. this will leave a cute 'cartoony' brown mark on the bowl but this will be washed away with the flush. nothing to worry about. this is more fool-proof, but alas the elegance of the technique is then lost. however, should you opt for the more elegant approach, there you run the risk of hitting the water head-on should you not control your release nor your aiming. this is the only downside to this method. but if your muscular control and your aim isn't so bad, then there shuoldn't be any problems with this technique.

the third and most practical way of reducing/eliminating splash is also the easiest most idiot-proof method. simply take some toilet paper and throw it into the bowl first. this will provide a cushioning and extra layer to the water surface to spread the impact and also 'strengthen' the 'surface tension' of the water in a way. simple and effective. but hardly an art.

lappy running out of batt le.
to be continued...

orded today.
didn't really feel much actually.
overrated.

weather is hot. on fan is hot. on aircon also hot. on air con and fan also hot. bathe also hot. play captain ball is hot. play football is hot. play captain ball then football lagi hot.
very thirsty now. need a jolly shandy.
my specs keep sliding to the front of my nose. very irritating. i wanna get it adjusted. bad for playing football. cannot head the ball. i think i'm not made to wear expensive specs. i sure sleep with them on and play sports with them and bathe with them and fall down with them and dun clean them and just treat them badly, and eventually they all just go out of shape. sianz. dun think i've ever worn specs that really really really fit me well. haiz. gotta keep looking la.

naruto wants to be with sakura
naruto wants sakura to be happy
sakura is not happy without sasuke
naruto is not happy that sakura is not happy
sakura is not happy that naruto is not happy
sakura should be happy with sasuke
naruto will be happy if sakura is happy
naruto will not be with sakura if sasuke is with her
naruto will fight fairly for sakura and lose
naruto will not be happy that sakura is not with him

but,
naruto is the hero(and he's strong).
so he can take it ba.
even if it really turns out like that.

sorrow is solitary!

hmm.
break down and die, or get up and live.

what would be really cool in a game is if the sequel updated from your saved data from the previous game.

e.g. like in mass effect 2, the choices you made in 1 will carry over their effects in mass effect 2. too bad ps3 dun have the game though. i wan to try.
or like in patapon 2, the stuff you got in patapon 1 some can bring over. that's cool.
i'm just thinking like how cool that would be if ratchet and clank acit can be updated from tod. toocool.
it would rock to have the ryno readily available in acit straight away... haha. but that would be ownage too. oh well.

getting that ps3 magazine was a bad idea.

weird dreams.

two things i remember more clearly.
one dream scene was a gun fight. i was behind a crate, then i grab an mg, drag it across the floor and zhua. the enemy commander got a pistol, think a colt. and he got 4 bullets in me. 2 in my leg and 2 in my body. this part isn't so bad. after that i dreamt that some surgeon help me take out the bullets. and i WATCH him take out. m18 dreams anyone? after HELPING him to yank out the last bullet from the ball of my foot, he tell me to just leave the wounds to heal. so there were big holes in my foot, but scars on my body. weeeird. maybe too much gaming le. or too much movies.

second bit that i recall...some survival mystery horror.
think castlevania + resident evil + silent hill.
setting was some old castle-like place.(actually i've been in this dream before. but this particular version was worse)
and then at night cannot be in the castle, not safe. so gotta solve some mystery in the day there but at night must keep out. (but i dun remember it EVER being day there, and somehow i dream myself being inside at night) this version was somehow more gory too. and spooky. i found some secret passage and went in and found a belt set thing, and then there was another secret room and inside there was some old tailor lady(spooky). i wanted to pass the belt thing to her (and i was getting dark le. like evening to night) but when i went in, she disappeared! spooky. and then i faster got out into the courtyard. some veteran tell me to keep the belt thing. then he ask me about my BAYONET(out from no where sia. i had my lbv on too btw. lol) which i took out and showed him it had no hilt...

and then the rest i can't really remember. maybe is muse.
or maybe is really too much games.
too much movies...

oh my.
batman aa, and ratchet and clank...
good games indeed. good games.
too bad ratchet got no trophies.
got thoroughly sucked in to the game.
now it's time to finish bioshock? haha.
