hmms, seems like ODEX has held a press conference to "show sincerity". apparently representatives from major jap animation studios have showed their clear support for ODEX, in light of the recent flak they received.

well, ODEX has said that the 3k-5k they're asking for in compensation, is fair amount, for costs incurred, such as "lawyers' fees and payments to an internet investigation firm. also, payment has to be made per ip address." (imo. LMFAO as the payment per ip address thing. they have also said they will hire an independent auditor to show that it is not profiteering from the enforcement actions. i wont debate over whether the 3k-5k is reasonable, although initially i was pretty miffed about needing to pay that amount.

anyhow, i still think what ODEX is doing all boiled down to starting on the wrong foot. im not defending my downloading of anime. of course it's wrong, but i still think they should have started off with a warning to stop downloading, or else legal action could follow, or anything along those lines. quote "based on exchanges with anime fans here, Mr Sing said ODEX udnerstands they[anime fans] will not stop downloading just becuase we sent them a warning letter." well, i don't seem to have talked to Mr Sing, as much as i'm an anime fan. he's generalising all the people who watch anime and i think it's bullshit. give me a letter anytime, i would've stopped. becuase, firstly it shows that they are serious about this issue, and secondly, im young and have no intention of facing legal action. o.O to jump straight into sending out letters, and not informing the public of this, it's not a wonder people have started to think whether they are trying to profit from this.

fyi, singnet sends warning letters to users who download movies illegally. pfft.

2007-08-21T22:30:00.000+08:00

read today's TODAY newspaper. page 4. some guy wrote in about the ODEX issue. essentially, he summarised all my points eloquently and cogently. LOL. ok lah, whatever. just that he had everything i wanted to say. should go and read.

2007-08-20T23:05:00.000+08:00

LOL. this is what happened to my bro's friend. imagine your GP teacher writes "don't wank" on your compre paper, cos u nvr follow her rules on answering AP. wtfudge. anyhow la.

2007-08-19T22:56:00.000+08:00

2007-08-17T23:36:00.000+08:00

hmms, if anyone has been reading the papers recently, you can easily tell that the ODEX issue thing is snowballing. people are up in arms against that guy, dunno his name, for the apparent comments he made online. hmms, bad move i'd say. it's just stirring sentiments in those people who alrdy dislike him.

3 more weeks to prelims. it's so close to the A's. it's getting so freaking scary. o.O ohh another thing. fucking pissed that the school decided to extend the deadline for portfolio to next thurs. so much for staying up late the past few nights to do it. I NEED MY SLEEP!!!! same thing also for the best 3 achievements. gahhh. things certainly could be handled better.

ohh, and i thank the guy who picked up my result slip for o levels. phew. i thought i left it at home when it was actually in my file and it dropped out.

bball friday was fun. and intense. but less people played today though. i guess everyone's busy studying.

2007-08-14T23:20:00.000+08:00

omg. odex 2 - anime downloaders 0

lol. pwnt. starhub has been made by the court to disclose information of customers who have been suspected of illegal downloading. this follows after the recent news on TNP just about a week ago. in addition, singnet users have been receiving the dreaded odex letter for several months now. sighs. poor us. :(

still thinking about secret. ahhh. bing qi lin gan bei.

2007-08-13T23:25:00.000+08:00

watched secret today. omg is super uber ultra touching. o.O if i was a girl, i would have cried. zomg.

i rate it 5.5/5 popcorns. lol. should watch it. and u can see how good jaychou is at the piano. i think the parts where he play the piano are really him playing. yeah. love story that is uber touching. i was gg-ed.

2007-08-12T17:19:00.000+08:00

eh fucking scared house kena raid. o.O havent gone to see the odex guy yet. im damn worried. not that i dont wanna admit that i dl anime, but sources say not to go yet. o.O but those sources havent got back to me. HOW!!!!!!

2007-08-12T00:28:00.000+08:00

a chapter that haunts me has finally closed in my life. along with me turning 18 yesterday. i hope i'll become more mature, and be more mellow. manage my time better for the next 80 days or so. to face the A's.

i'm sorry.

2007-07-31T00:25:00.000+08:00

ok

the dattebayo thing is officially fake. kena trolled. fuckkkk. i thought it was real. LOL.

2007-07-29T22:00:00.000+08:00

ok. this whole issue about me getting into some shit is getting me curious.

code geass was apparently announced as licensed one week ago,m at Otakon 2007. one bloody downloaded the anime in april. so they shouldnt be able to charge me for that.

but what's more shocking is the resulting death of a member from Dattebayo, who brings us Bleach and Naruto, at Otakon 2007

check this link out for the story

i frankly think it's fucked up. i mean, for fuck's sake, the guy wasnt even resisting. and you repeatedly taser a helpless man. and you're a FUCKING POLICE OFFICER. o.O

finally got the letter back. i quote the letter.
"For reference purposes, a sample of such evidence can be found at APPENDIX C hereto. This sample represents just a minute portion of the totality of evidence we have procured which show that you have been engaged in illegal downloading activity."

bull shit.
something i PROCURED from animesuki.com to what extent this is true, i do not know. but it says a lot. (note:i dont deny that this anime downloading is wrong/bad whatever. but they shouldnt be charging me for anime that i dl-ed and which were apparently unlicensed at the point of download.)

"We have to admit it: the distribution of fansubs is technically a violation of copyright under the WTO TRIPS agreement. However the TRIPS agreement does not demand that distribution of copyrighted material is a criminal offence unless it is done on a commercial scale. This means it is up to the copyright holder to bring the offender to court. The copyright of unlicensed material is held by the original creator. In the case of anime this usually means the Japanese distribution company. If something is licenced, the licensee holds the copyright and thus the right to sue any copyright infringers within the area covered by the license."

i dont know if i interpreted it correctly, but what it seems to me is that they dont have the right to charge for unlicensed anime.

and i still wonder how the fuck they got personal information. unless singnet gave it to them willingly.

look at this. E-Commerce Code for the Protection of Personal Information

Under the Code, internet service providers and internet content providers ("provider") have the following privacy obligations:

1. A provider must take reasonable steps to ensure the confidentiality of business records and personal particulars of each user including details of usage or transactions carried out by the user.

2. A provider must not sell or exchange the business records or personal particulars of a user other than to another provider (who adopts the Code) as part of the sale of its business as a going concern.

The above do not prevent disclosure of information:

(a) with the express or implied consent of the user;

(b) as required by law; or

(c) where the disclosure is necessary for the performance of a contract between the user and the provider, or for precontractual measures taken in response to the user’s request.

3. A provider must respect the privacy of users' communications and must refrain from intentionally examining or tampering with a user's private electronic communications unless with the express consent of the user or required by law.

4. Nothing in the Code in any way releases a provider from any other confidentiality obligations imposed upon the provider by law, contract or any other code of practice or ethics to which it may be bound.

The Code is not mandatory as it is not law. The only substantive entity that has adopted this so far is CaseTrust and accordingly this code of conduct strictly only needs to be complied with if one wants to seek accreditation with CaseTrust. fuck. o.O

so singapore has no privacy act of any sort? wow.

ok

2007-07-29T02:47:00.000+08:00

finally a long post after a month. this is a serious issue.

received a letter from Odex Pte Ltd stating that i downloaded certain anime and that i have to go down to their company to settle it. (the letter was addressed to my dad, cause the broadband line is under his name, but obviously i did the downloading)

so they have my ip and my personal info. like address and stuff (NOTE: i wonder how they got it, seeing that in America you'd have to go through the courts to get a subpoena for personal info. and in some cases, the courts reject their appeals for a subpoena. in America.) they say if i dont go down by one week, they would press charges. in other words, sue me. lol. it's the A's in 3 months time so i dont fancy getting sue by some hotshot company who wants to earn money through sending letters and fining people. apparently, anime-watchers term it the odex letter of death. LOL. it's kinda funny. so yeah, prolly going down on monday, which is a waste of my holiday though. hope to settle it quickly.

as much as i'd like to continue anime watching, im prolly stopping it. and i urge people to stop it too. it's not that i support odex or anything, i just want less people to get into shit. and if odex did use the money to improve their said shitty quality of anime releases in singapore(though i have no idea whether their anime quality has improved), i wouldnt mind. but people on the net are speculating that they are just doing this to earn money. well, OBVIOUSLY downloading is WRONG. heck, it's just a matter of time before someone is caught. but look into it deeper, like what many people on the net have said again, odex doesnt do shit about engaging the anime community in singapore, nor does it reply people who have attempted to contact them by any means. well, someone i talked to said that protecting piracy and earning money are not much of a difference, and that protecting piracy is not much higher up on the moral ladder, but i believe that the starting point counts. one really wonders if they really intend to stop piracy, or just wanna earn money since their anime releases apparently dont make shit. i just spent 3 hours on this whole issue, and it's really interesting.

conclude.
1. odex is trying to stop all this downloading of anime and stuff which is illegal.
2. many people have already paid fines.
3. many people are complaining on the net that they are milking downloaders off. ie. no true intention of stopping piracy.
4. point 3 is so because there's little media coverage on this issue. the fine prolly deters only the downloader. posting it on the net (discussing this issue, trying to relate your personal experience with odex etc) doesnt deter others and may even encourage some to download more. o.O lol @ the latter
5. odex should really do something to show they are KEEN on stopping this anime "piracy"
6. show how they obtained the personal info of downloaders (key issue which is being speculated upon)
7. present themselves in a more appropriate manner, one that reflects a proper company, instead of having a website that says "under construction" for several months, so it seems.
8. address the public on this issue, and reply queries that have been sent to them, instead of sitting on it.
9. all these speculation is because they dont go public about the situation, which makes these downloaders think they are victimising them. inform the public instead of acting so mysteriously(refer to how they obtain personal info)
10. WHY DONT WE HAVE A FREE CHANNEL WITH ALL THE ANIME!!!!!! :(( sighs. no more anime.

im fucking tired. spent 3 whole hours sourcing for shit. people i talked to thought it was a scam initially, but we're convinced now that it is true. and that i'm have to face the music.

well, to all readers, if i have any left.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS WHO DOWNLOAD ANIME TO STOP DOWNLOADING. OR IF YOU DO IT TOO, STOP IT. FOR YOUR OWN SAKE. DON'T MAKE YOURSELF GO THROUGH WHAT I HAVE TO GO THROUGH. GOD BLESS ME.

2 more weeks plus one sunday. wtf, and that sunday we must go down to ZOO. hmms.

2007-06-04T23:50:00.000+08:00

fuck. getting damn irritated with a particular security guard. he keeps chasing me out of various classrooms. when i ask him why, he say must close. like wth. i ask why must close, he just reply must close. then he'll talk a lot of shit. why must dont use canteen, classroom just now have lesson, so now must close. wth, am i gonna steal a fucking desk? however, there was this damn nice security guard. at like about 8 he came into the class and told me to turn off everything before i left. i was pleasantly surpised. eh, does the school not allow leaving some classes open for student sto study? hmms.

the recent issue on UNSW closing suddenly has hell lot of debate going on. this girl from SMU commented in the newspaper YOUTHINK section today about it, and her comment was titled "essence of scholarship undermined" after reading it, i am pretty irritated by what she said. how the hell does she know what this students are going through?

here is what she said.
"While it is understandable that many students had their reasons for choosing UNSW Asia over its Australian campus, their main purpose of a college education will still be fulfilled - a degree from one of the world's best universities; and now, without having to pay full costs.
However, the notion of offering a scholarship given the circumstances undermines the scholastic meritocracy.
Is it possible that a UNSW Asia student is qualified to be a "scholar" simply because his local campus was shut down?
Even so, the idea of fighting the institution which might be dispensing your future degree somehow does not seem like the smartest pro-active measure."

z0mg. she says many of them and their reasons for choosing the UNSW Asia campus. does she know the reasons. well, i think if she had read the earlier articles that came out right after the saga, she would know that even on scholarships to the Australia campus, some cannot make it due to one reason or another. if i rmb correctly, this girl has some illness and her mum was worried abt letting her go overseas to study. still got some others but i forgot.

please, she contradicts a hell lot imo. "one of the world's best universities" and then she says "Is it possible that a UNSW Asia student is qualified to be a "scholar" simply because his local campus was shut down?" well, i think that for them to be accepted into UNSW, they have to be of certain calibre, and i think there were like 700++ applicants and only about 150 were selected. o.O so much for NOT QUALIFIED to be a scholar.

she says "their main purpose of a college education will still be fulfilled - a degree from one of the world's best universities; and now, without having to pay full costs." and yet she says, some dont deserve it cos MAYBE they are not QUALIFIED enough. like wth? it dont make sense man. without having to pay full costs means on s'ship, but she says some dont deserve it? (from what i interpret) z0mg z0mg.

and i think "the notion of offering a scholarship given the circumstances undermines the scholastic meritocracy." is a bit being to harsh. having started 3 months into their courses, these people have formed bonds, learn new things in a new environment and everything came crashing down. out of nowhere. do u think a s'ship can compensate for all the shit these people are going through? like what another guy commented in the same section, HOW DO YOU COMPENSATE SOMEONE FOR 6 MONTHS OF HIS LIFE? maybe it's 6, maybe more maybe less? but yes, how the hell do u compensate it?

i know the girl is a 3rd year acoounting and finance major in SMU, maybe she's smart. maybe she's rich. i dont care. put yourself in their shoes, and dont doubt their calibre. people dont choose UNSW Asia over the australian campus for fun. they must have had their reasons for doing so.

fuck, i cant believe that there are such people in society, having cemented their place in the upper echelons, maybe the potential to do so, they become so insensitive.

everything i've said here is my own comment and personal opinion. if someone thinks i've misinterpreted what she said, please tag and tell me how so. im really curious to see how badly i could have misinterpreted her comments.

2007-06-02T23:03:00.000+08:00

cool. soccer won today, 1-0. heck of a nail biting final. yesterday, rugby won 13-10. zhehan converted the penalty to bring victory to rj during extra time. both finals were fucking emotional for the players. but it's really cool to see that rj is going strong.

in class today, we were told by a teacher on some unsporting behavious by a certain school. ofc, we were on the receiving end of such behaviour. their crowd too, was really out of hand. is that what their sporting culture has become? i wont say that everyone is like that, but generally, it seems to be the case. please, it's a game. be humble in victory, and gracious in defeat. very very bad losers.

eh, today at soccer final, i saw 1 girl from sajc with my bad, and another from mjc with my bad. wth, these girls are damn MAN la. carry same bag as me. smlj. lol.

In 2003, a short book was published by self-acclaimed "Master of Diablo" Eric Shaeffer, titled, Dealing with n00bs. Below is an excerpt from the book, page 49:

Under no circumstances should you ever talk to a n00b. They are highly dangerous. If you DO get in a direct conflict with a n00b, it is best to use one of the following tactics explained below.

n00bs are often confused on internet games with deranged, semi-conscious, amputated llamas with little brain matter, because of the similarity in their gameplay abilities. In the event of an encounter with a n00b, one should take the following precautions:

Turn off chat to prevent grammatically incorrect language overloads.
If you cannot disable chat, turn off your computer immediately and curl up on the floor in a brace position. Do not contact relatives as n00biness is contagious and can spread to your loved ones.

Other Methods
The most primitive way to deal with a n00b is to smash their skull in with a large object. While they often inadvertently do get to do this to themselves by running into concrete walls, it still proves to be an effective method of n00b destruction. Another very effective way to deal with n00bs is to use a purple twinkie.

Alternatively, you can fill their MSN inbox with spam and chain-mail; unable to contemplate their sudden popularity, they will jump off nearby cliffs in the false belief that they will be caught due to their immense popularity. Be sure to use more than one email address, as they, will, in rare instances, realize the truth.

A more indirect way of n00b destruction is telling one that there is A PS5 in the middle of the freeway. This will make the n00b retrieve the PS5 while getting their ass ran over.

Remember n00bs, regardless of their constant training, are totally inept at the usage of 1337. Whenever attempts to converse with n00bs are made using 1337 it will cause their small brains to blow and ooze out their ears. n00bs that are exposed to such verbal pwnage for prolonged periods will eventually die.

Also, you must remember that a n00b will eventually destroy itself (because they dont reproduce, if you know what it mean). The typical n00b has so much spyware on their PC, and respond to so much of its crap, that they eventually sell themselves to North Korea and/or Roger Moore and are never seen again.

Uber n00bs are the worst form of n00b ever created by god and shall be smitten. The best way to deal with one of these is to beat the crap out of them with a chess piece or another nerdy object. A dictionary or encyclopedia any of these will do.

2007-05-07T01:11:00.000+08:00

man u won the title. FTW.

chelsea ftl. mourinho go home, noob sore loser. LOL. even roman doesnt like you. keefeeeee, no quadruple. no champs league, no epl. not bad la. spend 500 mil for carling cup. HAHAHAH!

2007-05-06T21:41:00.000+08:00

me and cz were wondering why taunting=no sportmanship. hmms. very very curious. wonder what that makes premiership fans. nvm, who cares.

omg. cant wait for tuesday, finally CYBERGAMING FTW! zomg zomg. missed 2 weeks of it already. how can!?!?!!

went to IMH on saturday. wah, ward visit was damn weird, eye-opening and scary. it's like we went to ward 62. 62A was where the patients stayed, and 62B was the facilities room. we went to 62B cos supposed to interact with the patients. it was so damn weird and scary initially. like when we walked to 62B, the patients crowded at the door of 62A which was opposite 62B and waved at us like crazy(pun not intended). when they sat in a circle to play musical chairs, this lady suddenly turned to us bunch of guys and laughed hysterically. for quite long. i was fucking freaked. dunno, i would say it's a new experience. and really eye-opening. but at the same time, they're damn poor thing. so naive, not knowing what's happening around them, as in not full aware of everything. like there was one point, this lady patient went up to perform sth, for the other patients to guess what she performed. then a patient who was sitting down, started laughing at her(the one who was performing) and ofc the one who was performing didnt know what the laugh was for(like whether laughing at her performance of whatsoevr) and just continued performing. everything seems so detached. what's kinda scary is that beams all over(outside the windows etc) hard freaking lot of sharp needles stuck on them, facing upwards. prolly in case they managed to break out of the window somehow, and want to escape. it was just like a prison. just not for criminals.

well, that's it for now.

2007-05-05T23:53:00.000+08:00

just to address what anon said, i would gladly say it to your face, or her face or whoever. i dont believe in hypocrisy, and double standards. unlike a certain someone who claims that "RJ should go suckface" and then says we have no bad gaming attitude. it's a joke i tell you. first, say it to our faces that RJ should go suck face in our faces first, if you dont dare. piss off. second i would gladly tell you in your face you lack sportsmanship. which is very blatant. i pity you. you lost all my respect for the fight u put up during the game.

i have no wish to continue this lame shit, which i think im getting too involved in. there are a FEW, not everyone, bad losers. think over your attitude. other than that, that's it.

P.S. whoever wants to zham me about sitting on the bench, feel free to do so. im not affected by it at all. LOL, trust me on that count. find sth better to zham me on. ciao.

2007-05-04T21:19:00.000+08:00

"i think i played my best, so no regrets. i didnt have any regrets, maybe except for more punch in my batting?
other than that, nothing.
RJ should go suckface. their gaming attitude sucks lah.
shall not waste space on their tactics."

well well, what have we here. shit as usual. there's a FUCKLOAD of IRONY, right in your face. GAMING ATTITUDE? SUCKS? HAHAHAH! i like your style lady.

why do i see the phrase "RJ should go suckface" ZOMG, that was SO INSULTING. ooohh, we're cringing in FEAR of THE MY-GAMING-ATTITUDE-IS-TEH-PWNAGE girl. lol, such fucking irony. the lack of gamesmanship is blatantly showing. if the tactics refer to taunting, then, i FEEL for you my man. this certain veeeeeeejayyyyyceeeeeeee girl is OH SO COOL. SUCKFACE? LOL, for a lack of a better word i guess? supercilious inane moron. i find the "their gaming attitude sucks lah" fucking hilarious. get a FUCKING MIRROR girl.

this certain girl likes to bitch. so her latest post has seen some apologies, though i dunno what it really means.

but i dont give a fuck. we just happen to BITCH a FUCKLOAD too. we win. :)

hmms, let me say something in advance, just in case certain people who read this blog feel the urge to mutilate me over my blog post. you can say that im childish for arguing with yall/trying to counter your oh-so-desperate arguments with yall whatsoever, but you're just as childish for starting it, worse still, claiming and saying all sorts of untruths. you childish, i childish, so we all sit down and play together. simple. we're quits. no? now lets have some CIVIL discussion(maybe not a discussion but im not keen on specifics here).hope i can remain civil in my post, and i know those people WITH TONNES OF MORAL RESTRICTIONS will be lying in wait, just to pounce on me the moment i turn uncivil. mujajaja. like whatever.

i talked to my cousin, and she told me that during their days, taunting was way worse, like guys(esp 1st base and 3rd base) going right up to the batter and taunting him in the face, with colourful language. this goes to show how bad taunting was in the past and things we say now are so damn mild. so why is it that we're being vindicated here? no they say, u guys were being personal.amg, i dont remember hearing personal insults being hurled at your players, hurled as fast as kh's pitch right? too bad, u guys cant hurl as fast. awww. but that aside, your "personal" sounds damn skewed to me. imma going down on my knees to beg for examples of my teammates being PERSONAL in their taunts and expressing it so explicitly to your fragile players. and please, taunting is uber common maybe. whatever blabber that u have on how we rj players rely on taunting yada yada (quote :"It is quite pitiful when a team has to rely on making fun of others to throw them off though."), and how irritating it is. oh for crying out loud, as a batter, u shut out all the shit that's around you and focus on the ball that's coming. if you're affected by the taunting, which is so mild, i'd suggest u go home and play barbie dolls, where your fragile self will be intact. don't play softball if mere mild taunts affect your game. my gosh, this is so appalling. clear your mind, get on the plate, and rape the fucking pitcher.not let the taunts rape you. holy cow. i FEEL for you buddy, honestly. everyone knows about the rooney ronaldo world cup incident, ronaldo was initially worried about his safety and all. and how fans would react towards him at the EPL games. well, he could either cower and run, or face the taunts and better your game. he did just that, and manu benefitted a shit load from it. well, looks like u guys chose the former. resorting to blogging on how we taunt blah blah. kiss my ass. get your game on man, and stop harping on TAUNTS. zomg.

and i dunno wtf is with the hustling thing man. i mean, you're entitled to your own view, but that's one fucking weird view.

"It is interesting to note that RJ enjoys hustling and during the girls match, even the guys team was hustling the batters from the bench. Perhaps thats one of the reasons why it appears to me that the girls bat exponentially better during their trainings? Or perhaps its nercousness, or nervousness from the hustling."

for your info, hustling is sth imbued into us players by our coach. hustling shows a sense or urgency, not being so laidback and all. i mean, there's a clear difference between a team who hustles when it's a change of inning, having that urgency to get things started, and a team who is laidback into the change of inning. taking their own sweet time to get their gloves or whatever. if you dont take to hustling, so be it. you lack that fucking urgency, that FIRE that could propel your team to greater heights. dude, and who are you to comment on the girls apparent nervousness from the hustling? lol. there's no fucking link bro. yo, 1+1 dont make 2 here man. i can comment on your team losing to us because you spend too much time blogging shit then training. well, it dont make sense, and so does your fucking premise. it came to my attention about my misinterpretation about the meaning of hustling. "http://education.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/entry/hustle" dont think that hustle was very appropriately used. by nvm. my bad, for the misinterpretation. by then again, dude, u just dug your grave. by saying that our HUSTLING affected your girls, it means they arent focus. same point as mentioned earlier, about the focus on ball part. gosh, poor sods.

let me give you my two cents. "be humble in victory, and gracious in defeat". i'd reckon we were humble, we didnt go blogging about how we pawned some ass at our games. but i see a certain lack of graciousness in the defeat. starting to gnaw at all sorts of trivial shit to put us down. please, i dont give two hoots about the moral restrictions you guys have, even more so about how you 2 could make us cry. get a fucking life and get over it. hope this would be my last post on really lame shit that people say. o.O

ftw.

2007-05-02T21:02:00.000+08:00

hmms, prolly gonna be a long post and i have a lot of ranting to do. lol.

i feel damn loser and discouraged. noob-ed. i claim not to care, which i really do, but when things happen, it's hard to ignore it especially when it is right in your face. fuck. 1 more game. what will happen to me?

ok, semi-emoness over.

i hate bus drivers who dont wanna let ppl get on the bus when the bus is like only halway out of the busbay. it has happened so many donkey times, that i cannot stand it. like at my house, yck bus interchange, used to take 13 last time. and sometimes i will be late by the slightest of seconds and the bus moves off from the bay and stops at the traffic light (still in the interchange). i knock on the door, and SMILE, and indicate that i wanna board, and the bus driver gives me the straight face(or fucked up face) and shakes his head whatsoever. there was once the driver just turned to me, and turned his head away. like wth, it's still in the interchange for crying out loud. the same goes for bus stops. just a little out of the busbay only and the driver says no. wah lao, it's not like im stopping the bus when it is already out of the bay. no wonder they dont win the best bus driver award or sth, where commuters write in to praise good bus drivers, for the lack of a better word. sighs, if only more bus drivers(or at least for the buses i take :D) were like those "good" bus drivers, i wouldnt be late for sch half the time. and i swear, that half the times im late for school is because of such incidents, or missing the bus by 10 seconds, only to see it driving off.

ok, on to today's game against hci. the guys played pretty well, hit them hard in the first inning, faltered slightly in the next two, and regained our composure finally. enghow hit some monster HR from the corner of the field to the steps and it is really damn far. (then i was thinking about when i hit the HR last year in SRC, with bases loaded, also similar, high strike came in then just slam! although coach gave bunt signal, which i fortunately? missed. lol. that thought made me wonder at what i am in softball today. i wont get to that. shou yee made a very good drive down the middle, yirui made nice shot, and a few others. poor kuanghao, nearly got a no hitter until a mispitch, which came in much slower, and josiah hit it. woulda been a 3 base hit or hr, but he slipped badly on the way to 2nd, and could only settle for a 2 base hit. but still, that was some lucky mofo hit. damn it man, the only misfit on the score sheet.(omg, i typed shit instead of sheet initially. wtf? lol) it was always 3 up 3 down, and all swinging strike out. the girls were kinda unlucky, somehow they let 1 run in, dunno whether by error or not. but it was so close. girls didnt hit very well today.

moving on from the game.

during our game, me being a reserve was sitting at the side, and suddenly i saw 2 hci girls running to mr koh and telling him that 2 rj guys were creating some trouble by verbal arguments, sth like that. lol, and me koh went there and came back with hakeem, mingkiat and kenneth. could see mk was livid. and he recounted his verbal sparring with JERRY (THE-ONE-WHO-TOOK-OFF-HIS-SHIRT-TO-SHOW-HIS-"MUSCLES"-BECAUSE-HE-WASNT-HAPPY-WITH-AN-UMPIRING-DECISION. ftw.) apparently mk was commenting to kenneth and hakeem on how good kh was at pitching etc. then out of nowhere, jerry went to him and said sth like kuanghao in the national team, as a pitcher, showing the thumbs down sign) then said some sort of shit. say kh very lousy. that is damn hilarious and mysterious at the same time. doesnt he know that kh is first team pitcher for national team? joker. then he and mk verbal spar or some shit. and i think mk was in no wrong. jerry's kinda fucked up. hope no one under him sees this. OOPS! im sure he anyhow just spam ppl with inane shit, which is completely bull and then pick fight with people. and a school boy at that. superflous retard. nothing better to do, maybe bad childhood, always kena pick on by bigger people. then whoever told the hci girls to tell mr koh that rj guys were CREATING TROUBLE, should open their eyes. get real please.

ok, we were told about some vj softball girl's blog on how our taunting was very irritating etc, and we were called FUGLY RJ BOYS. HAHAHHAHAHA! is that the best she can do? lol.

here's an extract, or rather, a major portion of that blogpost.
" I was giving my all during pitching, i blocked out the fugly rj boys' taunting, i even had hatred burning in my eyes for once. I was full of confidence and had zero fear."

dont worry lady, we could tell you were giving your all, given that everyone could hear your grunting. o.O if u were the 2nd pitcher, or the more hilarious, cos your grunting is unfortunately so odd sounding. but of course, we forgive you. you needed that. and let me tell you sth(if you ever happen to be reading this), our taunting is common, it didnt even amoount to personal taunting. mdm teng told us that taunting last time was way worse than what it is today, and in fact taunting now seems so tame, where colourful words were used last time. if we did that, which we are capable of, u'd be crying on the pitcher's mound lady. come on. WOW, HATRED. so fierce. HATRED FOR US! i think we'd pee in our pants if we heard that. damn, she HATES US! omg, we're sorry we're sorry. forgive us PLEASE???? HAHAHA! confidence apparently doesnt translate to winning i guess. erm, i'm like SO SORRY for you.

"ok.. the damn first batter STUCK OUT HER KNEE to my inside ball that wasn't even gonna touch her. All because she can't hit she has to depend on getting hit by the ball. PATHETIC my dear, pathetic. Our batting wasn't great either.. not like during training when everyone whacked to outfield."
LOL, ok. the batter stuck her knee out. SO WHAT? how would you know she did that on purpose? stop lambasting the rj girls just because you lost. i smell a bad loser. kinda reeks. EVEN if she did stick her knee out purposely, big deal? pitch better. instead of an inside ball( and it's a ball, not a strike, zomg) so close to the batter that her knee can reach it. looks like you're lacking in the pitching department. and puh-lease, dont talk about that girl being pathetic. if she's pathetic, what are you? lol. you couldnt even pitch a decent strike and now you're crying about how some rj girl stuck her knee out so as to get a walk, though i dunno which girl it is, i believe that she didnt do that on purpose. AT LEAST she knew their batting wasnt great. some humility for once. LOL.

"But does RJ really feel happy that they won cos chicken stuck out her leg to purposely get hit. I think they do and i feel sad.. for them."
i do feel sad for you. i feel sorry for you. i pity you. i'm OH-SO-FUCKING-SORRY that a girl stuck out her knee to get hit by your pitch. please, stop harping on it. my gosh, is that the only thing u can talk about for the whole match? reflect on yourself lady. get a life. there's more to softball than that. if you dont want people to stick out their knee, pitch harder, so that they will think twice about sticking out their knee. but of course, that's IF you are capable of pitching faster. i guess, that means louder grunts, which can wake a baby. ahh, perfect.

hmms, hopefully the girls will play better tmr against NJC, i think they can win them. well, worse come to worse, get mccurdy to make his sister pitch nice slow balls for us, and if she doesnt, she doesnt get her meals for a week. HAHAHAH, kidding.

this is one long post. and to that vj pitcher, dont mess with rj softball guys. we're fucking bitchy, and we wont deny that. say shit, and we'll dish back twice the amount. on a silver platter. you can keep on grunting about fugly rj guys, sticking knees, yada yada. but ftw, WE WIN.

2007-04-30T23:43:00.001+08:00

i'm noob.

2007-04-26T00:15:00.000+08:00

hmms, we won NJC today, 19-0. many HRs. lol. kuanghao was godlike. that pretty much sums up the match. lazy to talk about pre match preparation, but it was damn anyhow. LOL. softballers = cybergamers = project oriented people. ftw.

anyhow, it was really cool to see us whack them like crazy, especially in the later part of the game. but to see all that's happening from the bench sucks. like fuck. i'm damn envious lah. ENVIOUS, NOT JEALOUS of them being able to be on the field, sweating it out for the team while im like on the bench. they played well today, every time someone hits a HR, u'll feel good and feel happy for them too, but it's not about that. it's about being the one up there who makes a difference. (ok, maybe it's not abt making a difference, since we won them by so much. but that's not the point) i dont wanna be the one who's on the bench, just going up to congratulate them and cheer them on whenever a nice hit is made or a HR is hit. i mean, it's just different. i wished i was one of the players where coach has faith in to bring in the runs or to be hitting. apparently not. HAHA. so much for going japan.

FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT. FUCK IT.

ahh fuck, this is some emo ranting shit. nvm.

2007-04-18T23:28:00.000+08:00

lol, daniel make my head damn big. his nick says "kf the most successful softballer: A2 for H.Chinese, A for PW" hahaha. wah lao, im a modest person, then he want to make it known to everyone. lucky lah me. both also got help from people. :DD

im very bored. today all our lessons were by Ms Soh(s). 3 hours of chem and 1 hour of gp. ftw. 3 hours chem, hardcore. lol, quite lately library has become my favourite hangout. today wanted to sleep in library after school, but ended up going to library at 1.30 only. slept until 3. yesterday was the best. civics, maths tut, maths lect, break, econs tut, chem lect, pe. i went library after maths tut. wanted to sleep till before econs tut. ended up sleeping until after pe. LOL. but damn tired. sian.

ok, serious issue now. been wanting to blog about this for several days. i'm wondering what's it like to be hypocritic and two-faced. some even to the extent of being multi-faced(is there such a word?). isnt it very tired to keep up this facade. and frankly, im very afraid of such people. they appear to be friendly to you, but behind you stab your back like fuck and you dont even know. if someone tells you what this person has being saying, you prolly wouldnt even know what hit you. like why the fuck would you want to put up all these pretences for. burn in hell all hypocrites out there. im the type that, i dont like you, i will just be indifferent towards the person. ask me a qns, and i'll reply very shortly maybe curtly. that's it. ofc i wont tell the person in his face "i dont like you" or what, but that's not the point. at least i dont fucking pretend and act all buddy and what not, like everything is all right. and behind the person's back start slamming him. i admit to bitching :D, who doesnt. but again, i dont pretend to be your friend in front of you. fuck it man, such false pretences dont account for shit. some people are really good at that. anyone who doesnt like me, just tell me. wait, forget it, dont tell me. cos i dont wanna be sad to see that someone i thought was my friend actually hated me. HAHAHHA. spare me please. :) but at least stop pretending to be my friend. i'll know. to all hypocrites, manipulators, two-fucking-faced people out there, fuck off and burn in hell.

haha, kinda incoherent, but that's cos im pissed.

2007-04-17T19:16:00.000+08:00

lol, today is super anyhow. let's talk about cybergaming training. it never fails to yield something atrociously funny to talk about. let's talk about the NORSE GOD OF THUNDER in today. :) first, under yip's name. and we all thought he didnt dare to play under his real name, so we were laughing quite mutedly. then he changed his name, to ---- and omg, he struck fear into our mortal hearts. the NORSE GOD. and he came and started his RAMPAGE!!! after dota, which he didnt play, thankfully, he joined our CS game again. holy shit. all of a sudden, "hey u stupid shits, stop blocking me la". a very feeble attempt by us to conceal our laughter failed. and what followed was keefe's usual roar of high pitched laughter(ftw, it always makes others laugh. o.O) and this was kinda funny. coming from him. soon, it was followed by sth else he said, which i forgot, but again, there was laughter. like wth. then keefe changed his name to "die ---- u biatch" and damn anyhow. i think he didnt know what was going on on our side, cos he seem to be shouting across "i never wall hack, i never wall hack" in response to "thunder god wall hack" which was OBVIOUSLY sarcastic, (ps. but maybe keefe is really lousy and got pwned. hohoho.) anyhow la.

ah fuck, politics politics. CYBERGAMING also has politics. hmms. lol, the contest between kern and a certain someone for chairman. and it resulted in 5 votes each. wth. lol. (apparently that someone wrote his name and other ppl's voting slip. LOL ftw.) when the tchr in charge came in, keefe went out of the lab to confer with her.

drum rolls...

KERN IS THE CHAIRMAN. wtf, so the train is honourary member? HAHAHHA. kern bring in his own teamplayer. :DD

VICE CHAIRMAN...

it was ENGHOW. gasps. shock. wide eyed dismay. lol, prolly have a rough idea of what happened, lol, and that someone was relagated to secretary. omg, poor sod. lol. unlucky guy, having to face the wrath of our HANDSOME CHAIRMAN KEEFEEEEEE. muahahha.

now, watched a video during civics, was some madTV episode, a parody on apple and obviously american politics. aptly titled iRack. lol. ftw. for those who dont get it, iRack=Iraq? now do u get it.

excerpts below

technology that has changed the world. the iPod, iPhone etc, the iVacuum(my tchr said some ppl called it the iSuck. o.O lol) then "steve jobs" unveiled the iRack.

someone in audience, "but the iRack looks unstable!"

"steve jobs": trust me, the intelligence reports we got on the iRack is completely credible.

hahahaha, wtf la.

"i'm confident that the iRack will work without any plans or directions of any sort"

"SJ":does everyone here want me to take things out of the iRack?"

unanimous yes by the audience. lol and he replies:"i hear what you people are saying and the answer is NO!"

LOL.

this is a fucking good parody of what's happening in the iraq situation. omg, ftw madTV.

finally, "i want you all to stop focusing on the iRack, focus on our new product. (unveils a shoe), the iRan." HAHAHAHA.
the link for the iRack one is here. go check it out.

lol, here's the one on abercrombie and fitch. by madTV too. bloody funny.
