Damnable illness.....

Frakkin' hell, there goes my record of not falling sick for an entire year.....And if memory serves me well i was sick around the same time last year also.....Must be something to do with the monumental increases in stress levels due to the ever daunting end of semester exams. So it began with a sore throat on tuesday after i had some rather dubious chocolates left on the table in the kitchen. Since it was so minor i thought that an uptake in my water consumption levels would do the job. I developed a runny nose on wednesday which seemed to have taken over the sore-throat. Thinking that it was nothing serious i decided not to do anything. Than on thursday i was hit by the full force of the nasal problem and the sore throat. Immediate action ensued and i brewed up some chinese herbal tea which is reputed to cure sore throats and took a clarinase tab, effective stopper of colds. AND on friday it seems that i developed a fever as well, so i woke up, downed two panadols, had my herbal tea and went back to bed, only to wake up sometime in the late afternoon to head to the city. I downed another clarinase tab as soon as i got back and promptly went off to snooze. Did roughly the same thing when i woke up today, one clarinase and herbal tea. And i'm praying to God that i'm miraculously cured by this evening as i have to attend Ah John's birthday dinner and sing 'K' with him after that.....Very hard to do in my present state.....

SPECIAL REPORT!

The next post will be a review of MANIFEST 2007, which is the Melbourne ANIme FESTival. 3 rather good days of anime filled madness and mindless spending. Loads of pictures which i took will also be on, all of them of random people dressed in anime/Japanese inspired fashion (got to wait till my fething internet gets up to speed again of course.....). Well as much of an anime fan i am, it's the first anime festival i've ever been to, Singapore of course being the tight-arsed boring country it is does not have such things (the farked up government will probably say anime is bad for the youth or something like that because its too violent, contains explcit content and other bullshit like that and that we should just all let ourselves be brainwashed by the chee-bai lanjiao government). Either that or they do have such things but its been so watered down to keep things nice, clean and politically correct that it is simply not worth my time. I am of course still ranting about the jia-sai 'ODEX' case, and it seems that the director of that company has come out to apologise for his statements and clarify that he was mis-interpreted. For those who do not know what statement he made, he was bragging his arse off on some gaming site that he spent the entire day fining people with much relish, or some shit like that. HOW THE FETHING HELL CAN YOU MISINTERPRET SUCH A BLATANT COMMENT DICKSHIT! Of course if any of the authoritites or if this gay-bastard of a person ever found out what i wrote about on this site i'm sure the freaking pansy will call his dickless lawyers and serve me with a, what was it again? $1000 or $2000 fine? Like the one you sent to that financially disadvantaged family eh small-balls? Ok, looks like i got a little carried away here, so look out for the MANIFEST 2007 SPECIAL post, should be in next week.

The Day After.....

Yes, I'm back after a long absence in the blogging scene. Think it's been two weeks? Well explanations and excuses abound i will simply add that i have somewhat lost the inspiration to put my thoughts in words due to the simple reason of me not having read anything new in ages. As much of a writer i am, my inspirations not only come from everyday events, things which i observe, but they also come from things which i have read, Ala novels and newspaper articles. In truth i have much to write about, for example i have been watching Today Tonight for some time now (well at least when i have the time to, which mind you is not very often). And i have come across many stories concerning cults in Australia, the kind which perverts Christianity for the sake of revenue. Such cults can of course (this is of course a personal deduction) be traced back to such "Christian" things as "evangelical" groups (another American invention) or (again another personal deduction) "praise and worship" groups. Now let me get one thing straight first, many people seem to think that the whole faith/religion itself is Christianity, this is of course false, like Islam, Christianity is broken up into many different and confusing groups. Oldest and most original of these groups is of course Catholicism (which i proudly am). So basically (to make things much easier) there are the Catholics, and the rest are Christians. Now to make things even more confusing Christians themselves are divided into many sub-groups, most notably the Protestants and the Methodists (for all i know they could be the same thing). I consider these two the most credible of the Christian groups, as they are the oldest and are actually not very different from Catholics (aside for the major fact that they do not give thanks to Mother Mary), because it seems that any freaking retard who starts spouting about God and pretends to have known him personally can start a new Christian cult, which is of course extremely worrying. These cults are usually started by degenerate individuals, damned heretics off to make a quick buck by taking advantage of the blind and unbelievably naive and stupid faith of people not possessing as many brain cells as they should. For example, one such cult 'down under' claims to help you converse with 'guardian angels' and ensures you a sure ticket to the pearly white gates, for the small fee of your entire life savings of course. FREAKING HELL PEOPLE ACTUALLY FALL FOR THIS SHIT! I personally thought that there was a limit to stupidity, like a rather obvious line which screams "DO NOT FETHING CROSS!". I am of course very much mistaken. No wonder the Muslims laugh at us and (some)seek to (suicide)bomb us into oblivion, they view us as (sadly they too are unable to differentiate the differences between Catholics and Christians so anyone wearing a crucifix is fair game, either that or as long as you're a caucasian) vile infidels who think that religion is the best revenue generating institution since hospitals and law-firms. Some amongst them seek to give up their lives in the name of Islam and Allah, some amongst the Christians seek to spruce up their lives by making money off God's name. The ultimate irony of it all. Not that Catholicism are without their 'black sheep', there were the 'infamous' Crusades to retake the Holy Lands, the Spanish Inquisition and most recently cases of child molestations by Catholic priests in America (i am starting to see why some Muslims call it the 'land of satan') have thoroughly sundered the name of Catholics all over the world. Of course my suggestions on how to prevent such cases happening is to re-instate the office of the Inquisition in the Vatican (it might very well still be there). Where they regularly scrutinise the faith and mental health of priests all over the world, a daunting task it might seem, but for the sake of religion it is but a drop in the sea. As for the cults, they should simply be made illegal. (My personal solution would of course be a rather quick and violent one involving heavily armed men, for if you have read about some of these cults and their vile acts, I'm quite sure you'll feel the same.) I will again state that what i have written here is rather vague but follows the general elements of truth which i have discerned from the various articles which i have come across, while now exactly in-dept, they are usually quite accurate. Of course if you have rather too much free-time for your own good you can of course look it up on the net yourself, regarding the evils of such heretical cults.

Digital D.....

Oops, i meant Initial D. I have finally, and sadly enough degraded myself to the level of those poor lifeless chaps who own those 'fancy' Initial D cards and think that they're "the shit". Mind you this was all done rather impulsively and of course with some insidious whisperings from the ever devilish and perverted Brendan (whose most recent misdemeanour is to "accidentally" grope girls on "crowded" trams.....). Well whats done is done, and if you're wondering what "ride" i got it's the Honda Integra Type R or better known as the DC-2 to those car fanatics (which i am slowly but surely becoming also). The colour is of course red, which is somewhat my favourite. Brendan on the other hand persisted with his akua-chia ways and got the Honda Civic Type R EK9 in yellow. Xander got his card a while back, and he got an RX-7 SPIRIT R Type A FD3S FR TURBO in yellow, not a bad car actually, thought its a little too wild on the handling for my tastes. I know "Small" John's got a Mitsubishi EVO9 but i can't quite remember what Kit has.....And since i got the card i've been playing it at least 3 times a week so that i can tune up the ole' DC-2. I of course also have the intention of raising my driving skills in the game. So far i've got a new spoiler, rims and exhaust, all from MUGEN, the company which race tunes Hondas. Then i've got a stage 4 intake/transmission system and stage 1 handling and electronics, a tad bit unbalanced, but nothing which can't be fixed by a bit of nifty driving, which i do manage to pull off on occassion.....So far the only stranger whom i've beaten after getting challenged was this kitted out EVO9 on Tsukuba, and i've had my ass handed to me in all the other races. Just last week some butt-fucker smoked me on my suppossed speciality, uphill, wet, night, Akina. Of course he was driving a rather snazzy S2000, modded to a good extent, and the stock S2000 is already killing the DC-2, i never stood a chance. When he crossed the finish line i was a good 350m away. So far i've only completed one track, Akagi, i still can't beat Takumi and his 86 on Akina and the fella with the MR-2 in Irohazaka is proving to be harder than i thought.....

Woke from dreaming, Another lyrical post

Simply put, i don't feel like tackling any serious issues now or care to elaborate on the monotony of my rather reasonable but otherwise barely tolerable life. So without any more deliberations, here is Woke from dreaming, the final ending theme for the anime series Gunslinger Girl, if memory serves me well. As you might have already realised this is the second time i have posted the lyrics for a song featured in Gunslinger Girl, it has quite simply one of the best soundtracks i have heard so far, and it has a great story line to boot. A very well thought out and planned anime which i highly recommend to all interested in anime. So here it is, performed by The Delgados, the same people who sang The light before we land.

Woke from dreaming

Woke from dreaming but it took convincing
I was shaking screaming I was still alive

And you were picking strangers by the side of roadways
Little little let the danger unfold
You can do what you do if you think you'll take it
You can do what you do if you are that way inclined

Suffer with silk as the pressure's tighter
You have skin pale as milk with the pressure on
My heart is getting heavy and my hands are weak now
Hatred lifting and I'll start to weep now
You can do what you do if you think you'll take it
You can do what you do if you are that way inclined

Just for a moment can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment can we make this moment mine
I've tried to let go but I've never had much to say
Take a day take them all now
Just for a moment can we take a little time
Just stop for a moment can we look inside this mind
We try to control but we never quite know what's there
We will kill if we need to
