A little creepy

Shin Angyou Onshi

the first JAPANESE animation movie/series/production i watched that has a KOREAN song as an ending ^^; really rare, shall see if i happen to chance upon another such production

and A Song With No Name is suprisingly nice. realised it while watching it the movie >.<”

31 work days to go!!

Changes… for the better or worse?

in life, one has to face changes to the surroundings and things around him/her. no one can run away from this, be it a change for the better or for the worse.

with a new boss, things are expected to change drastically, given his style of working/principles. from a workaholic point of view, there can’t be better news for him/her. however, for the majority of us, it’s nothing but bad news. at least i’ll be leaving the place soon enough (34 work days left). but that doesn’t mean i shouldn’t care for others. some people are getting all uptight and stressed and i feel quite sad to see them feeling so down yet i am unable to help at times as i would most likely end up making things worse for them. lol. i guess all i can give is some “moral support” and help them in little things that i can manage in my “free time”. hah. same goes to my friends outside of office.

the ops duty list came out today, and i still have duty even though next month is like 50% of not getting. haha. but not bad lah, doing with people from my own branch, including the duty officer. i guess it’ll be my first and last time having such an opportunity doing duty like that. why didn’t i get such “combinations” earlier? most importantly, it’s not on friday!!! whee!!! >.< *sot zor*

finally, something planned after ord. i may take up some computing course (spend money. sigh.) to learn some new stuff and get my brain into “working” mode if not i’ll really die in university. haha. also i intend to make another video (yea i know it’s lousy ) so currently working on combos. slow progress but nonetheless, it’s better than no progress. hopefully my newest production will be my best one so far. wish me luck thenz, not that most of you bother. haha.

tmr’s mid-week. a day nearer to weekend sadly, this week no bleach. oh wells.

to end off, i think Penny Dai is a great composer for songs.
(dun ask me what kind of ending this is.)

What the heck?! As if they’re not taking long enough…

in response to richie’s latest entry (at this point in time), WHERE THE HELL IS MY PROMOTION?

p.s. i’m more concerned about the backpay rather than the rank itself.

KOF99 Combo Union Volume 5 - 2 Year Anniversary

another great movie. superb editing. given my *poor* knowledge on editing, this video should have like hundreds of video tracks, it’s just crazy O_O

nice editing + great combos. collaboration with many sites. i must say kof99 combo union has come a long way, and will be widely known in the world after this video is officially released =D

some preview pics:

Here’s the link. Requires real player.
^_^ i just luv the pictures (layout + style) & edit…

whee…

my leaves and offs are approved liao. but hopefully it doesn’t clash with any major event like FFI or some parade that decides to pop up along the way >.<

and kakuro record is updated to 1m23s. lolol… i’m crazy xD

whee… 38 work days left.

More bugs on I.ph

my previous entry is *supposed* to have a chinese title. it appears in my blog management section, but obviously it doesn’t appear on the blog page itself. must be some stupid coding. they ought to fix this, but i *think* the programmers wont know chinese anyway, so like they’ll care. correct me if i’m wrong.

i’m back into fiddling with combomaking. hopefully something comes out of it so that i can do a new video. well, i feel like doing one, but i can’t if i have no materials (combos) to edit right? =D which means i’m gonna “waste” more of my life onto this thing that’s deemed meaningless to many. oh well, as long as i like it, i guess it doesn’t matter. =D

tmr’s back to camp, back to office, back to army. heard that there’s an interview tmr. wonder what kind of things he new head will ask. hmm…

btw, 81 absolute days and 42 working days to go!!!

华文篇

好久没有用华文写作了。感觉上，自己的华文程度退步了不少。看来在 blog 上练习练习是个不错的方法。某些词语我应该还是会用英文吧，因为我真的不知道它的华文名称是什么。

这几天发生了不少事情。好事坏事都有。好事譬如这个月 OPS DUTY 不需要做了，因为有人中 extras，而且是很多的 extras。详情就不多说了。也许下个月也不会有 OPS DUTY，也就是说也许到 ORD 为止可能再也不用做啦！希望如此。呵呵。坏事？星期三时因为某种情况而导致我得去 Maju 做 MEDIC DUTY。不过，下个月到 ORD 就不需要做MEDIC DUTY 了。还算不错啦。

今天去了 Tamako 吃午餐。虽然得花钱，但是肯定值每一分钱。食物美味可口，环境舒适，服务周到，可说是一大享受！详情可以到 Samuel 的 blog 去看看。他已经十分详细的描述那里的环境和食物，地址、价钱、菜单内容都能一一读得到。感谢 Richie 的好介绍，看来以后我还会再去那里吃！呵呵。

唉，用华文更新 blog 好吃力和费时啊。看来我得多多练习了。

2 Amazing Combo Videos

found these 2 videos amazing. combos are definitely first class. editing is good =)

Fighting 2006:

 
This video is the latest collaboration between LJC and Skill99, 2 of the best combo makers in China (and the world maybe). loads of new bugs and combos. their creativity and abilities are amazing!!
Here’s the link anyway. This video requires Real Player 10 (i think minimum is 10) to view.

Maharaja Night 2006:

 
This video is presented by members of THSky, a combo union in China. Apparently, they are at the brink of being disbanded (due to what, i do not know). But enjoy this video anyway =D
And here’s the link  Windows Media Player will do fine (.wmv mah). Warning: huge video though.

Will put up more stuff as i find good ones =)

About kakuro, MPC and more…

first up, i’ve improved my kakuro timing to 1m28s. wow, what is my limit i wonder? the best part was that i wasn’t in the “competitive” mode to try to improve my score. in fact, i’m half asleep now, while adding this new entry. feel free to skip through paragraphs if you find that i talking things that dont make sense/appeal to you.

next on the list: my thoughts about MPC. what is MPC? Media Player Classic. i find that MPC is a pretty good player and is currently rated (by me of course) better than VLC (go google if you dont know what it is) player. why do i say it’s better? it can display font & styling of subtitles in mkv/ogm files tha VLC seem to fail most of the times. it could be that my VLC settings are not right, so please do enlighten me if i am really a noob at using VLC, lol. but besides that, i prefer the time scrollbar of MPC over VLC, easier for me to see i move the timer thing to what time period liao. VLC one totally cannot see (or once again due to my noobness which i dont think can happen twice lah). well that’s about it.

i dont know what’s up with singnet. totally cannot sign in @ MSN messenger, except WebMSN (as tested by hwz ppl, i couldn’t be bothered). not very sure if starhub users are affected or not. but apparently it’s not MSN’s fault as Jeff can sign in from camp (he’s on duty if u’re wondering). though surfing and downloading is still smooth (acceptably smooth for me at least.), its performance recently is really quite disappointing. over the weekend, while playing GW with zong and wk&bro, the lag is just -____- bad. and it isn’t just my problem as wk&bro are also singnet users. since we live in different parts of sg, it would most likely be singnet side problem rather than at my end. what’s more, connections to sites can be unstable at times during the weekend. complains on hwz is so rampant that i gave up reading after a while as everyone was bitching, bitching and bitching about singnet. oh well, it’s been termed “stinknet” and “sinknet” by some hwz ppl. now, i’m thinking if i should recontract with singnet or just switch to starhub (otherwise nicknamed as LagOnline), but imo, singapore broadband is just not up to standard, considering how much sg likes to boast about being technologically advanced, being a hub and what not. hopefully things turn for the better, or at least dont get any worse. it’s quite bad already -____-. oh, did i mention that some hwz people actually blame IMF for the lagness cos as everyone knows, they have dunno how many kilometres of cables up just for this event to cater for all the computers and internet and what have you.

speaking about duties, i’ve finished last week’s medic cover. that leaves 1 more medic cover, the morning after Change Of Command parade for CMC. of all times, the parade has to start at 1730hrs on a friday. that’s sooooooooo great. (if you can’t see the sarcasm, u should get your eyes checked). oh, back to the topic about medic cover. time passes sooo much faster when you have another medic doing duty with you. there’s this medic posted in to HQMC, thus i *should* be guiding him through his first duty, like where to report, what to expect and some of the standard procedures. i believe i did a decent job in orientating him for the job except for the fact that i feel *abit* ashamed that my medic skills are so cmi. well that’s kinda expected but nonetheless still sad case. good thing i probably only have another duty in october (hope it’s 1 not 2). when reservist comes, i bet i have forgotten 99.99% of the stuff i’ve learnt. hahahaha.

about IMF: the only good thing about IMF so far imo is that apparently that my ops duty has been removed as a result of a reshuffle of duty schedule in view of the IMF thing. hope jeff isn’t lying (i believe he isn’t…). then again, i hope that wont result in me having 2 ops duty next month. now the bad things about IMF (yeah blame me for my non far-sightedness in the significance and impact of IMF meeting being held in SG. i’m short sighted. xD). so much money is spent on this event, so much man-hours/power, so much inconvenience caused, so wayang (this one like everyone agrees). yeah, those are the main stuff i can recall *at this point in time*, though i probably wont bother to add on to the list even if i do recall others. oh yah, there’s something that struck me (not literally). IMF security very tight on ground (and underground even, see the sewer/drain covers), but i dont really see them (media) “advertising” about “air” defence. can’t terrorism/attacks come from air? dont get me wrong, it’s not like i’m wishing some bombing occurs or what, but having spent so much money & resources on security and “advertising”, i dont really see anything being done about possible attacks from the air. maybe they’ve considered the area based on the heights of the buildings in the region. BUT then again, who would have thought US commercial planes will ram into the WTC in NY 5 years ago (incidentally it’s 911 today). hopefully history wont repeat itself, or the airforce is everready (no, not the battery), after all they are a force that’s *supposed* to be “above all”.

enough of IMF stuff even i’m bored typing all those. i’m sure those reading this will be feeling worse. or would they even bother reading? i think this should be my longest entry since i’ve moved to i.ph. longest as in amount of text written, not absolute length on your browser space cos pictures >>> text.

with enough words to bore you, i’d like to say that 87 days from now i would have gotten my pink IC, and i have 45.5 work days, which can be further reduced i *hope*.

p.s. i find 周杰伦’s 夜的第七章’s music composition quite nice. i have weird taste i know… as for the vocal part i’ll just keep comments to myself.
Finished up Ergo Proxy today. Too sci-fi for me. hic.
for some reason, the timestamp is 8.5hours faster.
