i seem to have turned into a quotes site. :P
couldn’t sleep last night. don’t know why. stoned the whole day.

dear singaporean cuzzies n aunties and uncle are in town. wished they’d stay with us though. especially with the house being relatively cleaner. :D but they’re parked at a hotel smack in the middle of masjid india. i think that’ll work well for them, since they love the place. :P

lazy start, busy end

woke up. had only 4 hours of sleep (jean reno’s fault). decided to stay out half a day. continued sleeping. woke up at 10. continued onimusha 3. :P
in the meantime, stacked bits of stuff to do into my bag. gotta draft a letter to hsbc, cancelling my cards, draft a letter to maybank to try and get my annual fees waived (for good, hopefully), and to go low yat and ask those cycom buggers what the feck happened to my sister’s webcam! it’s been 2 months and there’s still no news on the rma. i’m going to demand for a replacement!

so back to onimusha. it’s amazing how the cg characters match the facial features of their real counterparts. can’t say the same about their voices though, cuz i haven’t really heard them speak elsewhere before. maybe jean reno’s french sounded good enough though.

realised relatives coming to visit soon. got my sister to sweep, then i mopped while she cleaned the tiles (the noisy ones) with ajax. :P hosed down the balcony and all that. it’s tough trying to roll 50m of cheap hose.

it was too late to continue the game, so we went swimming for a while.

it’s now late, and i still haven’t touched the ps2. arg! just got back from dinner anyhow, after a short trip to the irb branch in kelana jaya. it was packed. people have been there since 6, waiting for their numbers to be called. my mom’s income was not much, so she didn’t really care, but i decided to just check a few things with some colleagues instead of waiting in line. trivial things like rounding the cents may mean a big deal (to our dear government).

oh btw, don’t mess with b. a. baracus, mess with messenger.

get the messpatch, and get the toaster for winamp if you hate windows media player. if the popups annoy you, just go into its plugin settings and uncheck the ‘enable toasts’ option.

ooh, seems that my dad’s car just overheated. let’s see if he needs help!

space symphony maetel

i just caught a glimpse of the opening of space symphony maetel. simply breathtaking. but it shows a preview of more logical breaks within the matsumoto leiji universe. *sigh*

in order not to waste time, i think i’ll continue watching the movies, and then start with my viz manga. what should come next would be space symphony maetel and galaxy railways. i think.

i’ll indulge in the tv series as and when live-evil releases episodes. think it’ll take a long while though, as they’ve many other long-running titles to do, like yawara.

oh well, back to work.

in search of a timeline

wow.. been long since my last post. nothing much has happened i guess, ‘cept for work. trying to trace what i’ve done would be a pain, so i’m just going to churn out the next few memories in no particular order:-

% thursday was a public holiday for maulidur rasul, the prophet’s birthday. brings back to mind the ‘thou shalt not celebrate birthdays for it is sin’ debate. anyway, the night before was spent playing mahjong for hours at Merv’s place… to a point where my brain stopped working sometime at 1.30am. “glc-working hours conditioning”. nevertheless, we continued for a bit.

% on thursday itself, i was out the entire morning, waking up to find my sister gone to lumut for a weekend regatta. mom was also out with a friend, so i was left at home with the lil bro. i think the only conversations we had involved me telling him to study. or do his project. or study. watched “mel brook’s history of the world part i” which i borrowed from masrey.

% also watched the galaxy express 999 movie. based on archived conversations on animesuki, i should refrain from starting on the 2nd and 3rd movies until i’ve either read the original manga or watched the original tv series. so far live-evil has fansubbed the first 6 episodes, but the next 100+ are nowhere in sight.

somehow, i’ve researched the series so much to see how everything fits in, that i may already know the ending after the ending (yes, there’re so many endings and alternate realities/versions!).

guess i’ll also have to shelve the viz manga i bought. supposed to be a sequel too. :O evil viz! evil!

% cleaned up my downloads drive. got rid of the first 3 seasons of smallville cuz they were just taking too much space. started some downloads to fill up some of the gaps in some manga and anime. unfortunately, i still can’t find certain episodes of inu yasha. bah.
