Just got back from watching The Touch premiere. Here's the breakdown:

Movie length: 108-ish minutes
Enjoyable parts: first 60-ish minutes
Part that had bad CG: the last 30-ish minutes
Rating: 3 out of 5

Verdict: Nice show but I wouldn't watch it a second time. I want to catch PPG next.

Listen to the music. Funky :D

My weblog owns 31.25 % of me.
Does your weblog own you?

No! I am addicted to blogging. *Does "The Scream"*

Today was not my day. Let me tell you what happened:

I had to open a Maybank account so that I can get my pay. My mom told me that you require only RM100 to do so. She also told me to open an Amanah Saham Didik account. Left the office at 12. Reached the Maybank Kelana Jaya at about 12:15. Parked the car inside the parking area for RM1.50 per hour. Went and attempterd to open the account. Read: ATTEMPTED. Waited for my number for about 20 minutes and then told that I have to fill in a form first. So I did that. And took another number too. Then bam! As I looked at the details of the ASD, I found out that you need a minimum of 100 units worth RM1.00 each. I was like "OMG, I have only RM130 in my pocket!!!" So I decided to drop the ASD application, and opened the Maybank account instead. Lalala. Waited another 30 minutes because it was lunch time-ish. When my turn came, I was relieved it's gonna be over. Or so I thought. Then, anothe blow hit me. The minimum deposit is RM250. O_O

Not really thinking, I rushed to my RHB bank about 2km away and withdrew RM150 (and paying RM3 for my parking). Went back to Maybank and parked by the roadside because I thought it was gonna be a quickie. Well, what do you know, he went out for lunch. Feeling hungry, I went for lunch as well. Ooh McD's Porridge. After 15 minutes of happily munching my food I went bck to the bank. I also glanced at my car. I saw a a little thing sticking near my tyre. I thought it was nothing so I continued sitting in the bank (which for your information, still had the teller dude out for lunch). My mind raced and it finally strucked me! I ran to the car and you guessed it! My tyre was clamped! Woohoo! Luckily, the ever hardworking MPPJ people were still busy clamping other cars. I applaud them for doing their job but... why me? TT_TT So I told them all the money I had was needed to open the bank account but they didn't listen. I looked at the Maybank ATM and realized it was a frigging MEPS ATM!!! If I realized this sooner, then this latter episode wouldn't have happened! So withdrew RM50 (stupid ATM wouldn't allow RM10 denominations) and paid the MPPJ officers the money to have it unclamped. I immediately parked my car inside the parking area again. I went in the bank again and one of the customers there told me that I can let my car outside once I have paid the fine. There goes another RM1.50. but the story's not over yet as I waited for another 20 minutes for the teller dude to return from lunch. When it was finally over I drove back to the office because it was 3:25. Reached the office at 3:40 and began writing all this in Blogger. I pressed the publish button. Guess what? My quota for the day reached its limit between me loading blogger and me publishing the post!!! You wouldn't imagined how POed I am.

BUT the day's not over yet as I found out that i have a frigging job interview tomorrow at Setapak. Very nice. All in all a very fucked up day.

Well, what do you know. I decided to make a role play blog. It's called The Misadventures of Scarile Garreth. The layout is still in the works, but the first entry is up. I think it would be updated daily (and maybe even more often than that). Maybe I should ask Reins for background help since my bro isn't around. Plus the fact that my bro almost never helps me in any of my webpage designs.

It's another working Saturday. I got the patch updater for Neverwinter Nights amidst other stuff. Also getting Ranma 1/2 scans from the net at 12 MBs a book. Not bad...

Now for a moment of rant (Strong use of language):

Argh! Fuck! stupid. Stupid. STUPID. My internet connection was limited to a frigging 50 MB a day! Grah! The guys in charge of the fucking proxy put a fucking limit on the bandwidth allocated! It's still okay if it's only 50 MB per person, but nooo... they decided, let's limit 50 MB for each logging account (in which there are only TWO in my department). That's saying 200 odd people having 100MB a day. Ah, fuck, fuck, fuck. Now I'm having difficulty downloading stuff again TT_TT I WANT MY STREAMYX!!!

End of Rant

It's the end of the world!. Maybe.

Added Kalamari to my blog list. Change the layout a bit. You know, the usual stuff.

I just watched the first 3 episodes of Mahoromatic. I wanna see more fanservice :x I have seen the light... Ah... Mahoro kawaii desu :D Also in the same CD, I managed to see Pucca Love... Nice Flash animation. Now... can somebody borrow me Golden Boy and Karekano?

Bad news though... Streamyx won't be around till another month. Looks like I'm stuck like you Eisu TT_TT

(I think I said too much)

Ja~

I'm downloading Eatman scanlations. It seems I'm reading love stories manga in the office. Mou... So sad TT_TT

Eisu, the link below that I gave you is correct... except that their server is kinda temperamental right now.

I wonder whether Streamyx is available right now...

I finished watching Puni Puni Poemi. Funny. Weird. Perverted. It feels a whole lot like an X-rated Excel Saga. But nothing really surprising. (hey don't look at me like that >_<) Also added Vandread Second Stage to my list of completed animes. Uh... Meia is flat-chested. Not that I have anything against flat-chested girls... but TT_TT I want Parfet :O

Uh... for Eisu, the translation for Agharta is available here. I think.

My Streamyx didn't arrive today TT_TT

Uh... Lunch time had me visitng the police station. Nothing serious. I just had to pay a RM30 fine for obstruction of traffic summons. I believe that it was worth it (considering that it was at Megamall and I've done it more than 10 times).

Oh I didn't mention what my bro is doing in Glasgow. He's representing Malaysia for the International Mathematics Olympiad 2002. The questions include stuff up to Form 5 but are extremely difficult. I can't answer them TT_TT

And about Furuba. SOUMA SHIGURE IS DA MAN!!! The artwork is pretty good. It's just that they had to stretch the 2 chapters in Book 6 to 3 episodes O_O I feel annoyed. That and the filler episode with Prince Yuki's President. I mean... PUT MORE SHIGURE!!!

Ah... My bro is on his way to Glasgow for his competition. 10 days without him... ah, bliss. But I kinda miss him. Also note that nobody can call my number within these 10 days because he's borrowing my SIM card. You can contact me however at his number. Email me or something for it (if you really want to :P).

I am also annoyed at blogger because I'm having this template error. Bah.

Also bought Neverwinter Nights last weekend. Looks nice. Can't wait for Streamyx to play multiplayer with it. Got some cheap cloth map. I wish they would include a dice set instead :(

And finished watching Furuba yesterday. All I can say is... I wanna read the manga TT_TT

The ambiguity of hope.
The demagouge.
The passion.
The rise of tension.

The crimson green.
The magenta blue.
The lilac black.
The turqoise yellow.
The noted fool.

The eye of red.
The sky of blue.
The smell of black.
The heart of purple.
The death of all.

W00t! I bought Radiohead's 1994 B-Side track "My Iron Lung". I'm beginning to understand why people say Radiohead is one of the best bands around. Great tunes, catchy rhythm and deep and profound lyrics.

Also caught Minority Report on the big screen. Pros: Nice future we are seeing. Cons: Seating at the 3rd row from the front gives me an aching back and neck. I need Reins' massage now.

I went cycling last night! 6.1km. Up and downhill. Tiring. But nice. Tho I have to learn how to change gears for the racing bike I'm using -_- Legs almost cramped ~_~ But I'm fine now :D Infact I slept at 1:30 am last night, but still feel refreshed to go to work today. Wow.

Also yesterday, right before I went for cycling, a bat flew into the house. Chaos ensued. Except for me eventhough it flew pretty damn near my head. I pity the poor bat. It was lost in a house and had the broom being thrusted upon it. Well, it finally flew out after about 5 minutes of disruption. Hm... I think it would have been a different story if the bat had Big Nasty Teeth (TM) and was white :P

Uh... my bro tried to teach me to play the piano tonite. Let's just say he wasn't successful. We also had a singing session with me being offkey. I know that I'm not musically inclined, but I enjoy doing it anyway :)

Did 3 major things today!
1. Sent in my EPF application form.
2. Opened an RHB bank account.
3. Made a powerpoint presentation on another project.



what type of internet face are you?

It's 7:55 am and I'm in the office reading stuff. Last night my parents came home from Cameron Highlands and guess what they brought back? Strawberries! Yum. Maybe more blogging after I get some food in me :)

Hamsters eat juice!

Uh... they decreased the temperature after lunch -_- My right hand is cold... again. Looks like work is just over. Me go off to home now.

Fairly interesting day today. I downloaded a bunch of Berserk scanlations. Brought along a pair of gloves. (But surprisingly the air cond is toned down today. Whee!) Also doing some Visio drawing for a proposed network upgrade for TNB. W00t. The project is gonna cost between 1 to 100 million ringgit O_O Visio is fun!

Politics never cease to amaze me. A pretty comprehensive test.

Your political compass
Economic Left/Right: -4.00
Authoritarian/Libertarian: -2.26

I'm a weak left wing libertarian.

I can't believe that the first thing that I see when I checked my blog is that it is gone for maintanence.

Back in the office. It seems like nothing has changed here. The air-cond is still on full blast, and there's still not much work to do. I brought along my bro's Sophie's World (Reins should know) ISBN: 1-85799-722-0. And I forgot to bring my bracer too -_- Hands are cold...

Back! W00t! After a tiring day yesterday. Most of the participants had a Karaoke session, me included. Played pool too. Uh... tired today T_T Not talking much till much later.

Heh. My bracer is doing a good job of keeping parts of my hand warm. The fingers are still a bit cold, but it's much more bearable right now. Also read the Sakuratetsu Taiwahen translation by Aku-Tenshi. I can only say that it's both weird and hilarious.

Learned something new: there is no such thing as high-speed connection. It only seems faster because the increased bandwidth. All the data travels at a constant velocity. With multiplexers, you can cramp quite an amount of data from different sources into one channel. Yes, that's data communication talk :)

And a little extra:

I am

damn i'm so charming. i may look
like a freakin' gay, but i sure know how to
beat the hell outta anyone.

take Which Tekken Character Are You test!

Charming? Gay? Totally not me >_<
