Hajime no Ipoh!! [Awakening Ver.]

Actually, this post has nothing to do with Ipoh. Nah... that was weeks ago. I just got back from singapore. Yes!! Ollie King Land!! In my opinion, Singapore has much better arcades than Malaysia. Think about this, in KL, i go to the arcades to find machines i m kinda tired of seeing. In singapore, I go to the arcades to find things i just had the chance to read abt online. The things that i thought were still news, are there in the arcades.

For example: Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2, Tekken 5, Capcom Fighting Evolution.

Imagine in KL, we dont see any of these. How depressing can the electronic gaming scene in Malaysia be? And having a PS2 rarely helps (beside the fact that i dont have one) since many games do not feel the same on consoles. Bear in mind that in arcades you also get much more challenging opponents so it makes the experience much better.

Sad Sad Sad Sad Sad!!

But the good part, is that i have a nice travelling companion. Though i think i kinda failed while being her tourguide and shopping guide, it was nice having her arnd. Lightens up the moods. And really, i still enjoy watching ladies shop. Its really impressive. How they can fall into a big dilemma about what to buy, then end up buying almost everything in the end. No miss J, i'm not talking about you~ Honest!!

And then there is the fun part playing mind games with Mr. B. About the first time given to me and all that. Oh well. Now the truth, maybe the whole truth, and maybe something together with the truth is out, I hope he can rest in... well, rest peacefully. I mean Sleep Well, well, u know what i mean. Just so u can sleep in peace.

Then there is miss W. Gave her a foot rub. I think i improved. She enjoyed. Then we had coffee, on her this time. Had fun talking to her. Just like old times. And no, I m not attracted to her this time. Something about her scares me. Seriously. But still, there is something about her that attracts others towards her. Yes, that i must say, the Force is strong in her.

Other things, well, miss J is cute, but to be really frank n blunt, she's insanely hard to please, Like playing 1 on 4 with Godlike Bots on UT2K4. I really dont get anywhere. But still, to see her smile and laugh finally when i was telling her about a silly B-rated show, really rocks. She has one of the cutest smiles. And i m blessed to see that. I saw a whole lotta other things too, but that i shall keep to myself.

Maybe to end off, I shall post the lyrics for Hajime no Ippo's opening song, Tumbling Dice. Enjoy!!







I know, I know, Ivan's really gonna kill me.

Anime Tenchou

Suddenly, i find myself in this weird craze over this series anime tenchou. Too bad the info i can find is at best scarce. But, luck or something had me find this MP3 request board, and after a few hrs, the request was fulfilled. Thanks to kuuki, the ending song of that series, Dancin' for Your Number is in my collection. Best of all, i found the OP song, Aoi Kodoku by accident on Greedland. Searching for info on that song unearthed many little surprises.

I enjoyed the song thoroughly, but most surprisingly, the anime tenchou series is a self-advertising kinda series, like how "Howard and Kumar visit White Castle" is a self-advertising film. Really filled with inside jokes about the seiyuus themselves and about the animate store franchise, I think its kinda fun, especially since it features the top 8 male seiyuus of my list: Koyasu Takehito (Kuroyanagi Ryou - Yakitate!! Japan), Seki Tomokazu(Sagara Sousuke - Full Metal Panic), Miki Shinichiro (Fujiwara Takumi - Initial D), Ishida Akira (Cho-Hakkai - Saiyuki), Seki Toshihiko (Genzo Sanjo - Saiyuki), Hirata Hiroaki (Sha Gojyo - Saiyuki), Hoshi Souichiro (Son Goku - Saiyuki) and Yuuki Hiro (Michael - Witch Hunter Robin).

Coincidentally, 4 of them are also the main characters of Weiss Kreuz, while the other 4 are from Saiyuki. So these 4 are really representative seiyuus of the anime industry in japan, with the fact that at least seki tomokazu, koyasu takehito, ishida akira and seki toshihiko are singers, seiyuus, and have starred in many major animation works. They sang Double Dear, for which the lyrics i have posted on this blog before.

Now, finally i found the wonderful aoi kodoku (Blue/Pale Loneliness). The sad part of it is, i havent found any translated lyrics for it, and with my meagre knowledge of jap, i have attempted to translate it, but could only really do less than half of it.

So what ever, i will still post it, since its a nice song i want to share. And i like the rather sinister opening lines about 'your unfortunate birthday'. Reminds me of my own 21st.

君の不幸な誕生日な祝いに来たよ

//I have come to greet you on your unfortunate birthday

     僕のいない   愛のいない

//My emptiness, Love’s emptiness

     蒼いバースディ   キャンドルは冷めて

The blue birthday, The candle is cold

     君は僕の名を呼ぶだろう

//You call out my name

     狂おしく   愛しく   切なく。。。夜に抱かれるように

//Madness, love, this instant, The night seems to embrace them all.

     僕の名を呼ぶだろう。。。 今夜

//Call my name... Tonight

     God Bless   忌憚なく

//God Bless, Fear not

     Listen   自由でいい   祈れよ

//Listen, Freedom is good, pray

     Inside     胸のなか

//Inside my chest

     もう   痛みなど   ないのさ

//Even pain, is not here.

     青く群れる   愛の誘惑が   しがみつく

//The young crowd, Love’s temptation,      

     身動きできないほどの   俺を撃つ視線でも

//The body does not move, only the sharp gaze from my eyes

     Kiss You   Kill You

//Kiss You Kill You

     もう   さよならさ

//Now, Goodbye

     ああ淫ら   乱れるほど

//Ah, Lust, chaos,

     ああすべて   罠になるよ

//Ah, all of it becomes a cycle

     ああ二人   蜜に濡れて

//Ah, a couple drowning in honey

     ああ燃える     灰になるまで

// Ah, burn, and become ashes

     Just Can't Wait For Love

     Wonder   誰一人
//Wonder who is alone

     No One     俺を待つ女【ひと】など

     Look Out     いないだろう

     そう   長すぎる   不在さ

     青く揺れる   愛の魂を   振りほどけ

     覚醒していく様子【さま】を   沈む瞳【め】に映すがいい

     Kiss You   Kill You

     そう   さよならさ

     ああ肌が   忘れぬよう

     ああせめて   抱いてやろう

     ああ二人   月に濡れて

     ああ消える   闇になるのさ

     Get Down In Your Love

     もう聴こえない

     女神の歌声さえも

     ああ淫ら   乱れるほど

     ああすべて   罠になるよ

     ああ二人   蜜に濡れて

     ああ燃える     灰になるまで

     Just Can't Wait For Love 

Just can't wait for Love indeed... Well, hopefully love finds me soon in this seemingly loveless world. The world, is full of noise, and devoid of music...

Meaty House!! [beer bottle mix]

Tonite, za nite of Mother's day. My dad decided that we shall have dinner at this restaurant called Meaty House at Damansara Utama. Really good, a wholesome sumptious meal for 5, 3 soups, and a large bottle of beer for RM115. Beat that.

I dont know if its a habit or something that is written in destiny, but everytime we go out as a family, my dad will ask my mom for road directions (knowing full well that she probably doesnt even know the place as well, and knowing that she cant give directions clearly. And all so he can throw a tantrum and fire up?). The atmosphere inside the car was laced with gunpowder alright. In the end, my dad knows where he wants to head to, but insist its my mom's fault for directing wrongly when he takes a turn then asks for direction. My mom is the thing furthest from a map, and she cant even explain or argue properly. So yeah, u have the bully, and the bullied, and u can still only blame both, one for bullying, and one for being weak.

But the food was seriously good. And a *large* bottle of Carlsberg for RM9.80 was kinda ok according to my dad. It was a bottle that we shared, and i still felt the beer bulging out of torso. Talk abt being stuffed. Without the beer, i was still confident of devouring a serving of texan BBQ baby ribs. Last time i came here, ah... i learnt the meaning of the word 'succulent'. Yup, it was that good.

The other thing is, i feel like bringing some friends there. Yup!! Maybe i'll throw in a bottle of red wine too. Lets have a feast. Hope one day J-zan and Aikamiyama come here and we go dine together too. =P

New Comp/No Comp

Finally, the new comp arrives from new zealand with my bro. Finally. And guess what, he managed to take it apart so thoroughly, and put it in a place that has no fan, while the only place i can assemble and test a comp has no fan, nothing.

My mom has moved the fan to the 'new' house and not moved the fan back. My dad insists that i go n bring it over by foot. Asked why not he do it, no answer except for a 'dont argue with me'.

Well, then, i guess i shant assemble this RM3000 piece of shit, since its already missing the display, and that itself cost abt RM1000. So let it rot. until i need a new pc. How nice. The perfect way to burn RM3000 and a whole AMD based PC. Fine.

I cant really expressed how pissed i am. My mom moved the fan but never bothered to move it back. And they want me to assemble all 3 cabinets. 'Piss off' is what i said. They can bloody well assemble the last one. I did the first 2 alone. No help. nothing. do the last one urself i say. I m not touching it anymore. Not after my forearm is still aching from bowling. The other time i assembled one while my arm was still aching. And it didnt help at all. No one helped. Nope. This time i am not touching it. Get my bro to do it.

Anyway, i didnt realise that i'd accidentally just save this blog as a draft the day before. Well, my bro's back in KL. finally, and i managed to reassemble the computer he so unskilfully took apart. After the reassembly, i realised i dun have the s-video or composite cable and i failed to setup the tv-out. Well, guess i m still a long way away from really watching dvds on the big screen. but then, the other part is, i have a good 15" LG LCD monitor. cost me a bomb when i bought it. but luckily it only depreciated by abt 20% so far. after almost 1.5 years. not bad. holding out fine.

Had another stupid argument with my dad. I was going out, the music on the new comp is still on. My sis is still enjoying the music, so i told her to turn it off for me, when she's done. Then my dad was shouting abt whoever turned it on shud turn it off too. I told him off. U shut down almost every comp the same way. Just select shut down for win XP. not that difficult. He insist in an angry manner that i shut it down, cos if something happens when its shut down, i m gonna make lotsa noise. True, but what can really go wrong when shutting down a good computer?

He's nutz, he's picking a fight. And so i waged a war. I told him off, its stupid to have such an idea, its probably more likely that a problem appears when u turn on a PC. shud i make noise too when there is a problem when u turn a PC on? I dun see any problems when he turns on the older comp and i shut it down, or when its the other way round. What is his problem? I dun mean to be rude, but in rational acceptance and appealing to authority, i dare say that in *this* house, I alone AM the authority on computers and electronics. Sorry dad, u lose outright on this one, and no matter how angry it makes u, u lose. Loser.

Too bad. Wrong topic to try and flaunt your stupid authority. Now i am not being outright rude. I just wanna say this: Dun be unreasonable. U bloody well know what is wrong, what is logical and what is not. Dont give me that "dont argue with me, just do it" Bull crap. Its really poppycock. nonsense. uh well, enough about that.

Results, i expect, for my final exam this semester should be out within 2 weeks. I hope so. Then, comes the treat if i get my expected all A's. hopefully a treat for my buddy's at Meaty House. Or even Jake's (but i m sure not treating if its there). Suddenly browsed thru friendster. Found a profile of my friend's sis. Cute little thing. Met her once in singapore. yeah she's underage, but she sure is cute!! welcoming smile and all. (no, i am not a roricon or pedo in the western terms)

gotta go off. publishing it right this time. Like the song i am listening to now:
The Pillows - I Think I Can. good stuff. =)
