Even more tagging nonsense

1. Each player of this game starts off with 15 weird things/habits/little known facts about yourself.
2. People who get tagged need to write a blog of their own 15 weird things/habits/little known facts as well as state this rule clearly.
3. At the end, you need to choose 10 people to be tagged and list their names.
4. No tags back!!
---------------------
1. I bite my fingernails whenever I'm anxious, bored, thinking etc. Basically, anything that requires concentration.

2. I prefer squatting or standing over sitting, because my legs become numb faster when I sit than when I stand or squat.

3. I think that the way duelists draw their cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters is cool!

4. I close my palm into a gun and shoot myself in the head whenever I'm stressed, like how the characters in Persona 3 use an Evoker to summon Personas. I enjoy picturing my stress materialising into a demon/god. And I don't picture committing suicide while doing that.

5. I'm a die-hard Final Fantasy fan who will whack anyone who dare say that Final Fantasy sucks! (Okay, I don't really whack, but I do get really, really mad.)

6. I dislike politicians because they're all liars. I dislike celebrities and their managers because they are like politicians.

7. I tie 5kg weights to my hands when I study.

8. The voice in my head who wakes me up every morning...I finally got rid of him, and now, I miss him.

9. I tend to write depressing stories when I'm happy. I tend to write cheerful stories when I'm depressed.

10. "Never hit a girl unless she hits you first," is one of the few principles I'm still upholding.

11. I'm practicing tarot reading, but I can't seem to find actual tarot cards. So, I'm using poker cards.

12. I used to practice acupuncture, but I've forgotten everything about it.

13. I find punching the wall a better way to quell my anger than counting to 20.

14. In video games, I prefer RPGs the most because they have the best story and I'm in it. I dislike sports games the most because they never seem to change, excluding the fantasy-styled sports games like Super Mario Strikers.

15. I'm a light-sleeper. I get woken up at night when my mom/dad/sis goes to the toilet.

I tag: anybody

Worst Day EVER! (perhaps)

Yesterday (19-06-08) was probably the worst day of my life! Here's a chronicle of the things that happened:

9.35am - Worried about being late for the scholarship signing, I was rushing all the way there to find that we have to queue up, and I was at the back of the line!

11.10am - Very boring briefing that did not help us one bit! "Find your guarantor and a witness to sign. Get a copy of their IC too." *Long pause* Who the hell is our guarantor and who the hell is our witness?!

11.15am - Got caught looking at people playing Japanese chess at the back instead of listening to scholarship briefing. (Okay, this was entirely my fault.)

11.16am - Whispered a sentence to Winger, but forgot what I wanted to say and ended up babbling nonsense and smiling. Got caught again! For saying a FREAKING sentence and SMILING!!!!!

11.26am - Dr. Khoo made fun of me and then asked me not to avoid him whenever I see him next time. Oh please! Do I look like a coward?! If I was angry at you, I wouldn't turn my head in the other direction, I'd stalk you and observe your every move until you feel awkward in anything you do!

11.45am - Sis decided not to go to Queensbay, so I had to trouble my aunt to send me up there. I needed to change one of the stuff I bought last time because it was faulty before warranty ends.

12.00pm - Taught my brother how to do his homework. As usual, no cooperation from him.

12.45pm - Aunt arrived to pick me up. Awkward silence in car. To add to the problem, traffic jam!

12.50pm - Aunt lectured me about being more careful when buying stuff so I won't always have to go and change. Look, it ain't my fault that electronic stuff always seem to break when I first buy them!

2.00pm - Went to state library to play Weiqi. Finally, no one to judge me for playing!

6.00pm - Ran home when I suddenly remembered my cousin's birthday party.

6.10pm - Realised that the birthday party was 7.30pm!

7.30pm - Dad scolded me for always playing computer and video games. He claims that these things don't require brain power!
Fact 1: I spend almost the whole day in college on weekdays, I spend half a day of most of my Saturdays playing Weiqi at the library, and I spend half-day of all my Sundays out of the house doing family stuff! AND HE SAYS I'M GLUED TO THE COMPUTER AND MY PS2!
Fact 2: Video games require brain power. I dare say that I made it into MENSA (international organisation for people with high IQ) because I played lots of video games!

8.20pm - Played my cousin's Wii. He doesn't have the time to get games, so he only had Wii Sports. Owned him once in boxing, he owned me back later. He owned me in tennis and bowling. That sucks! How could I lose in tennis!?

9.30pm - Time to go home! That sucks! I still wanted to play and it's only been an hour. Oh well...

11.00pm - Defeated by Queen Nyx! Shit! I've been whacking that boss for more than an hour and I LOST!! Sigh... Time to level up again...

!@#$%^&*^^%#@%##!$^%$*(&*XYZABC123@#$%*&!!@ Screw that Saturday!

Sony's PS3 Crisis!!

Sony is definitely in a pinch now. Since the PS3's release, due to its insanely high price (US$500 = car down payment!), a lot of PS3 exclusives became multi-console. GTA IV, for example. But, the PS3 still managed to hold some ground thanks to Metal Gear Solid 4.

Now, the worst has happened! Square-Enix has announced that Final Fantasy XIII will be released for the XBox 360!! *gasp* *choke* *suffocate* For now, it seems that Final Fantasy Versus XIII is still PS3 exclusive, but now that the mainstream FFXIII has moved on, who's to say that this one won't move on either!

I reckon unless Sony finds a way to seriously cut down PS3 prices, the PS3 will get the big GAME OVER. The only PS3 exclusives that might attract are... nothing, I guess. I'm ain't a fan of God of War.

Then again, I ain't a fan of the Playstation series either. I'm just a RPG fan. Since better RPGs are released on the PS series, I chose that. But now... well... let's just see if FFXIII Versus remains a PS3 exclusive.

Depression...

Finally finished watching "Neon Genesis Evangelion" and "End of Evangelion". And boy, is it depressing! I reckon it's the most depressing story I've ever encountered. The ecchi and insane amount of nudity towards the end of the series didn't even seem to grab any attention. Hideki Anno did both a great and terrible job in making this series.

It was great in the sense that it portrayed his fight against depression very well through the characters. You could literally feel what the characters felt, especially Shinji's and Asuka's. Of course, that meant that you'd be mighty depressed after watching it. The same went for me. I felt so unmotivated to do anything that I got a headache today.

The fact that he left the ending so darn ambiguous can be both good and bad. For me, I was already too unmotivated to think, so it was bad. But once I'm motivated again, I reckon I'll find it very impressive. As for other people, I can't believe they could send death threats to Hideki Anno after watching End of Evangelion. Perhaps the depressing theme really did affect them. Hope nobody committed suicide after watching the series.

Ikari Shinji... that kid sure is pitiful, yet I can't seem to feel any pity for him. One who can't love himself will not be loved by anyone else, I guess. Since Shinji represents Anno, I congratulate Anno for successfully overcoming a trial as tough as this.

Well then. My headache is restricting my thoughts so I'll just end it here. Too bad it ain't as ambiguous as Evangelion.

Okay, refresh my memory...

Who the heck is Ee Lin and Abigail? My cousin Jelissa brought up their names. I vaguely remember them but can't seem to get a clear picture of them. I know I can't remember faces, but I'd at least like to remember people.

And I'm almost at the end of Persona 3: The Journey. And I've played a total of 103hrs+ so far! Why does the game have to be so long?! If it wasn't so good, I'd have gotten bored by now! Once I finish this, I still have to play Persona 3: The Answer. Following that would be Makai Senki Disgaea 2 and Chaos Wars.

I went to play Go yesterday. Lost to 2 people, won against 1. Nothing to be proud of. I need to get better so I go against Brannon and the other pros! Current goal: Beat Chaw Chi Hau.

Questions? Comments? Get lost!

Shoot... Lost me pencil case

Darn it! I can't seem to find the stupid thing anywhere! Not in my house, not in college. Oh well. Besides the new rubber and the pen my dad got as a remembrance of Chung Ling, the rest were old stuff. I'll just replace them. New pens, new protractor, new pencils, new eraser... Gotta spend money again. *sigh*

In other news, looks like a lot of people are declaring war against certain people. Anonymity seems to be the lesser forces' advantage, but supposedly not for long. The force with more numbers has an advantage in numbers and rage is pushing them even further. How many people are on each side, you ask? That's a secret. How long will it take for this war to end? Probably when the lesser forces surrender or are defeated. Let's just wait and see.

The above paragraph sounds retarded and idiotic because it was meant to be.

Anyway, anyone interested in learning Igo (a type of Japanese chess) can go to the Penang State Library at 2pm on Saturday.

11 month countdown

Alright. Assuming that Justin and his AMGC organises Ichibanzai 09 sometime around June, I have 11 months to prepare my costume. I've already started collecting cardboard and buying planks. I'll start carving today.

Choices:
1. Haseo (I'll prove you wrong, Winger!)
2. Squall Leonhart
3. Adell (absolute last choice!)

Time to get to work. And hope that I don't leave for university before Ichibanzai.
