All Done :P

after getting the opinions and suggestions of a few other racoon-hole-eans, i think the new colours are generally finished! personally, i cbf changing the template no more... is so slow on my slow modem. -_- one thing i think we would all like to do is put up some pictures, but haven't really figured out where to store it yet.

[For pang: geek talk]
ive been meaning to buy some webhosting accounts, but the one i was going to join fell through. they are such fags! i emailed them asking some questions, and the first reply was so fob (fresh of the boat - aka sounds really dum, and the english was very bad). i really liked their deal, so i emailed again tell them that was a really pathetic reply. but no reply. ah well fuck 'em. :D they were about US$10/month for 2.5GB webspace and 60GB traffic, so it is a pretty good deal. it OWNS the ones australian hosts offer, and is still a bit more better than the other ones in usa. but at this stage, i think i will just go to different, slightly more exp one.
[/geek talk]

we went to eat ice cream at gelato in subiaco last night. :P originally, sherman, ella, adeline and i were supposed to be super late, but even when we got there 1 hour or so late... pang and charis still hadn't come! they took ages~~~ all we could do was look at the icecream for ages, and not order yet. :( i decided not to be stingy for once, and bought adeline and i a $9.50 big cup 'o' chocolate icecream. charis said the strawberry one is not worth the money, so we didn't get that. i wanted to get it before because it's one of the two icecreams there that didn't have chocolate on it (adeline is allergic to it... heheheh). anyway, it was pretty nice! and we managed to finish our big one faster than everyone else's small cups. :P~~ we were still there at around 1am, but the girls needed their beauty sleep so had to go. :)

then went back to musicspace to get sherman's car. ella drove adeline home for me in sherman's car... so i stayed at musicspace. saved me the trouble of driving all the way back south and back again... hehehe (thanks ella... and sherman's car :P). edmund was drunk, and wanted me to drink, even though i had to drive later. -_- i decided one shot couldn't hurt, so sherman, ray, ed (i think? or kim i forgot) and i had a shot in one of the karaoke rooms. after it had gone down, sherman and i realised it was fucking tequila... OMG BAD MEMORIES!!! the puke-inducing aftertaste is so recognisable... -_- we didn't drink any more after that. :D then we did some bad singing until like 3am or something. for our finale, we sang some song called 'rape me' by nirvana o_O none of us have ever heard it before, so we were just 'freestylin' it - just sing and make up our own words. from the song title, i think you can imagine what sort of lyrics can be made up for it. :D but our RATING FOR THE SONG AT THE END WAS 100!!!!! YEAH BITCH!~~ natural freestylaa~~

after we realised it was so damn late, we went back to sherman's house to watch some fjdsklfjdsklfj ippo anime. it's a series about boxing... pretty good. -_- pang was complaining that we should just all sleep and watch it tomorrow morning. so it was quite ironic that after watching one episode, i was zzzzzz already. they kept watching heaps... i think they watched like 10 or something >_< fuck. i just remember hearing "black man!" "blackman!" during my sleep. hahaha so im guessing that's what happened... they guy prolly fighting a black boxer dude. -_-

a bit more happened afterwards... but not so important. let's just say my mobile rang at like 7am and woke us all up and i had to drive home. fuckk~~~~ i was so tired in the car. -_- i can't handle driving tired for shit. :( but luckily got home safetly.

i've been meaning to write about my surprise b'day party... but ive written so much in this blog again, so ill need to save it for next time.

PEACE OUT!

tired

Not in the best mood atm ... waiting to go out for dinner, I have nothing to do.

I didn't like Tom Cruise in that movie, it would have been 9/10 if it wasn't for Tom Cruise - it becomes a 7/10. But still recommended movie ...

Been addicted to this song for the last few days after watching the MTV ... wow.... such a nice song:
m-flo loves melody, & yamamoto ryohei - miss you

New colours

I changed template... but hopefully it hasn't shown up yet. If it does: DON'T WORRY STILL WORK IN PROGRESS LAH~ :P

Bobbbbb~~~~

Greetz peepz. I originally wanted to write a nice big blog... but after catching up on some other reading, I've run out of energy! It's 12:30am, and I have work tomorrow, so I can't waste too much valuable sleep time typing to a wall. :P

Just came back from watching The Last Samurai. A lot of people seem to think it was great, but there were a few areas in the movie I really didn't like. >_< Some movie "spoilers" follow, so go away if you're psycho about them.

What's up with the main character killing a guy and then kissing his wife afterwards?? Like I can understand if it was some central part of Japanese culture, but I don't think it is. I think it's more to do with giving what the mainstream wanted: "hot chicks need to be chased, and since the main character is cool, he should get her".

And when Katsumoto (something like that) kills himself for his honour, Tom Cruise should of done it, too! Why is he excused from it? I only got some vague line "you have your honour back" before the other person killed himself. It seems like this main character selectively chooses to take what he likes from the Japanese, and avoids the rest. There's all this talk about honour, but the movie doesn't really know what it is. I think honour is a double-edged blade... if you want to be all that, then you need to be prepared to throw your own interests away, too. The movie just skims over the latter part... which kind of pisses me off. Maybe it was short-sighted ideals like this that made men rush off to the World Wars. But perhaps it's this ignorance which gives everyone the morale to do things. After all, ignorance is bliss, right?

Anyway, I'll stop dissing it now - it's prolly doing more harm that good. :P It was an enjoyable movie, but my ethical side just doesn't like it when movies are bent to appeal to entertainment, as opposed to something meaningful. People need to make money, I guess. I'll only get angry if anyone says something like: "that movie taught me a lot about how life should be". Because it doesn't - it's just one big, unbelievable fiction. It oozes ego-centric motives: see how great I am, since I am fighting a pointless war.

I'll leave it at that. I am sure lots of people have different ideas to me. :)

Next post, I promise will be less cynical. :D

Chill, yo~

links links links~ :)

Hi~

Just thought .. one of the things we use IRC for is to share links, so I'll share some of the current 'popular' links with everyone :)

This guy is like the Photoshop king or something .. Chu pasted it when I was at work, I was like wtf ... what a Photoshop genius ... never seen so good touchups before !!

My absolute favourite author of all time is Murakami Haruki ... I love all of his books :) One of my favourite of his short stories that I can find on the net is 'On seeing the 100% perfect girl one beautiful April morning', weird name I know, but it's very ... I'm not sure how to explain, but I really like it >_< Also, just finished reading one of his old novels; 'Pinball, 1973' - I feel as if his writing was better to begin with .... I really enjoyed this novel !! I wish I could find a paper copy ...

Everyone loves to do quizzes, and we are no exception :P Recently Tuyen pasted some 'How picky are you?' quiz, just alittle bit funny :P On a strange note ... I got the highest picky score ?? 55% I can't believe it .. but on second thoughts, I am pretty picky ;)

Apple iPod - should I buy one ??? Decisions decisions ... stupid MD >_<

I wonder why I started this post now :) Noone is really talking on IRC lately, so we don't have many links .. I will post some more up when we find some more.

Edit: I forgot about this cool link !! Check it out :p

hELLo LaH

okay this is my first post for the forum. hehe.. im not quite sure exactly what to say.. so ill just blabber.. or should i say 'blogger' on about random stuff that has happened to me the past few weeks. :P

since the start of the uni holidays, they have been pretty action packed for me.. alot has happened in the past 2 months or so. i was only expecting a nice relaxing 3 month hols.. but i guess it didnt turn out like that. hehe. i wouldnt say it is a bad thing or a good thing.. just suprising.. and im learning from it all.. so i guess that's okay :)

where to start... well i met this girl during exam time.. we really liked each other... was like a dream come true for me, but for some reason or the other, it slowed down and now im not sure where i still stand with her anymore. was feeling pretty low and blue.. but then my other friend who i talk to... shes really been helpin me through it.. someone who i've been taking out and having abit of fun with.. so its helping me get through it :D

sun is up .. woohoo

Hello all :)

If the time at the bottom doesn't show, it is about 6am now... just got home from Music Space. I will be happy if I don't sing for a while >_< Because I think I had MORE than my share of singing just then... sang so many songs in a row that my throat is really stuffed up. It's nice to have room 4 all to yourself :p Maybe like .. 4 of us ..

Anyway ... some weird stuff happened tonight, but I think that it's not something for public blog consumption. Suffice to say that it was abit of a fun night for us, not so fun for some others..

Ella's birthday was good because I chose the restaurant :) It wasn't too bad, it was kindof what I expected though. If I went next time, I would want to try spatchcock though. The name of the place was Yahachi, it's at Colanade (spelling?) on Hay St, Subiaco. If you want to, go try it out :P

Steven's birthday was fun, racoon-hole boys pulling out the FREESTYLE ... Pang said that it's rare for me to singing ? Well .. lately I've been practically living at Music Space, already worn off that - I sang more in the last month than I sang in my whole life i think O_o Crazy ...

Me and Kim ARE 1TYM !! hahaha :) 97 .. not bad ...

Hrmm, I'm really sick of 'A Whole New World' >_<

Come to think of it ... I'm sick of Tequilla, and of Jack Daniels.

Actually ... I wouldn't mind abit of Jack Daniels if it wasn't so strong :P

We just went to McDonalds on William St, I was feeling hungry. Still feel abit hungry, but really I cbf eating anymore - getting fat from too much beer. Had a nice kebab at that place opposite Church !! Will try out next time.

Maybe next week I go Church or Metro instead - less dramas ? O_o

Actually .. this week I won't mind not drinking :) Had way way enough I reckon ;)

Speaking of Friendster - if there's anyone reading this not on our lists, our Friendster webpages are to the right hand side, over there --> :P

I'm glad people are writing posts !! Pang is just a pessimist is all ....

Goodnight !!!! For a while -_-

Saturday, January 10, 2004

surprise !!!!

I guess the birthday surprise was a success :) It was a surprise for me that it worked out so well actually, considering that our plan was shaky at best. Steven and Ads taking their time coming from dinner probably helped us alot :)

I'm going to Music Space now, I'll post when I get back - possibly you might see a drunken post :P

Long time

It's been ages since I wrote. -_- I thought everyone else had stopped writing in it, too... but how wrong I was! The Adventures of Pang in Korea sound fun! I wouldn't mind going, but I think the fun will be cancelled by the the sadness of losing all my savings. :((( Maybe if I manage to save up heaps, and a trip to Korea (or wherever... Japan?) will only cost me 50% of my savings, I'll be OKAY with that. ^_^ Actually, just as Christmas break started, I wanted to call Ray and go to Melbourne with him, but I spent the first week playing computer games, and when I did get around to calling, he had already left. Hehehe :P That's me: the supergeek!

We went to a really wicked Japanese restauraunt for Ella's birthday last week. I really liked it there... well, the atmosphere atleast. The food was okay, but I got a toothache after I ate the entree`. My back tooth is weird, once something gets stuck in it, it starts to hurt a lot. -_- Well, not excruciating, but enough to ruin the rest of my meals. :( Anyway, the other reason I didn't like the food was because it was too Western-style for a Japanese restauraunt. It felt more like I was just at Frasier (dunno how to spell it), Meade, Black Tom's or one of those places, than a Matsuri, or Tansawa Tei. I know my restaurants! :D The food was good... just didn't suit what I was expecting I guess.

I'll still bring my family there sometime though... maybe this weekend.

Sherman paid for everything too, so I guess that makes it a bit better. Heheheheheh :P Not that I wouldn't help him pay if he asked... really, I would! :) The bill was much less than I expected though.

I got new monitor. But nothing special. I was expecting nicer... at 1600x1200, it is really crappy, even though it's still at 75Hz. I dunno. I guess 1600 doesn't suit a 19" monitor. It's not even flat. It's just a normal curved monitor, with a flat glass on top. How dumb -_- I can tell it's more than one layer of glass because I can see 3 reflections of myself in it. PHYSICS, MAN!

I got a new mobile too... Samsung X430. Not as fancy as Ray's E700, but I'm still happy with it. :) It has polytonic (or whatever it's called) ringtones, colour screen, and flip... but no camera. But I don't want a poor-quality camera anyway. From the E700 box I saw in Ray's car for like 10 secs, my phone and his look very similar. But Ray disagrees. *shrug* Everyone has Samsungs now it seems. Tuyen has the next model up from mine. With a camera. :)

Seem's like the flip phones are back - in the RACOON-HOLE CREW (YO~!!) atleast.

Adeline and I also bought each other some white gold rings. I think it's a bit annoying to wear... I'm not really the jewellery wearing type. But hopefully I'll grow into it and it'll become sentimental stuff :) Right now, I like playing around with it by pretending I'm Frodo Baggins of the Shire on a journey to Mount Doom! Hehe, sorry guys but I'm a geek - I have to say atleast a few lame things every time I post. Even Adeline wears her ring on a chain (which I also got her from Malaysia last year), because she still needs to get her's resized. But she won't admit that some of my wonderful traits has rubbed off onto her!!! :D

I have more to say, but I guess I'll need to save it for next time.

Chill out fags.

random thought

At work I go to the toilet quite abit ... because I drink water all day :p And I noticed that 4/5 times I go in there, the disabled stall is taken. So today I went in there to see why it's so good .. and wtf ? it's so weird ... the toilet is really high, I was really uncomfortable >_< No more high toilet for me !

Friday, January 02, 2004

super super speed !!

Posting this from my new cable ! :D So fast .. not used to it.

But anyway, do we have any readers?? Let's get this blog more popular, we are so quiet lately, I think noone reads? Or if they do, post some comments? :P Let's start advertising ..

Yep, just confirmed with Sherman today, I'm going to get E715 - it's like E700 but it has a flash. It's abit cheaper than E700, I have no idea why O_o

Back later !

postscript

Hello again :p

MSN is downloading some sort of update .... it's chugging my computer O_o So I'll write abit more misc stuff that I thought of.

Read somewhere about Matrix Revolutions - the reason that Smith explodes is because Neo is +ve, and he is -ve ... so it's cancellation !! Stupid, huh ? :P

Uhh ... I forgot what I was going to say >_< There was this funny place we ate at, it was dedicated to Deng Shao Ping (sp?) and it had all his favourite foods .... There was another one I wanted to eat at which was the same idea, but dedicated to Mao :) What a legend :p

Err ... oh ya, Cable coming tomorrow !!! I'm going to come home early from work and meet the installation guy... cross fingers everything is ok -_- Finally out of modem world :p

finally home :)

Hi all, just a quick post ..

Happy New Year ! :p

I just got home ... didn't have any net access there so I couldn't do any in the field updates :p Melb is alrite, didn't really do much except shopping ... wow, it's hard to type on a keyboard after so long away ;) I bought abit of stuff, not as much as I wanted to, I couldn't get alot of the stuff I wanted >_< Melbourne is still abit expensive though, but better than Perth I guess.

Played abit of DDR :P I found some songs that I like .. I'll play more now when I'm in Northbridge I think ... I think I got fitter being there, walking SO SO much ... every day I go for like 1 - 2 hr walk when everyone having nap, and then go play DDR :) Also I had to run a few times ... I should keep running here >_<

Went to Crown again today, the arcade kindof sucks ... they have alot of new games, but so expensive ?? I played DDR Extreme 2 (I think ??), usually I payed about $2, only $1 for the one in the gangster arcade, but at Crown it's like $2.80 and they hooked it up to this 3x3 matrix of TVs ... it makes it harder O_o This hardcore played with me and made me look bad, going Heavy to my Standard -_- In Perth I rarely see people play Heavy/Maniac :P I should have tried to keep up with him.... but I had some cargo pants on, I had my phone and wallet in the pants, so I couldn't pull the moves ;)

Girls in Melbourne .. hmmm .. there are ALOT of viet girls O_o Also alot of hoodrats ;) But yeah, on the whole the ratio of good:bad is much worse than here .. not sure why. But the nice ones were REALLY nice ... hmm O_o I wish I had my phone to take pictures :P

Sherman I hope you bought me E700 !!! :)

Hrmm, not sure what else to say .. this is ending up longer than I thought. Shopping rules :)

PEACE OUT !!! :)
