Thursday, December 27th, 2007Empty
Wednesday, December 19th, 2007I’ve been at the new job for about 4 months now… and this has never happened before.
The photo request pocket is empty!
We’ve had days of no assignments before. But the pocket is usually packed with requests for the next few days or the next week even.
Today, nothing at all.
We’re really wrapping up for the holidays… Either that or I’m speaking too soon and the last minute requests are just waiting to flood the pocket, and drown me, as soon as I’m done writing this post.
Hmmm…
10 mins later…I was right. Spoke too soon.
Christmas Wishlist #1
Monday, December 17th, 2007 
I went shopping yesterday, and ended up playing 2 Guitar Hero games at two different locations.
The first was at Sony Gallery at Wisma Atria. They had the Les Paul wireless guitar controller with GuitarHero III: Legends Of Rock. That experience, was far below expectation.
Ok… The Les Paul is cool as heck! And they even added a little weight so it feels sturdier. The graphics have improved so much from GH1. My character was a hot blonde with a way better figure. Unfortunately the wireless controller, despite all its hype, has a rather retarded reaction timing compared to the traditional cabled controller. So when you think you’ve got your rhythm down pat, the slow response on your monitor throws you off again. I guess Sony Playstation still hasn’t quite figured out their wireless controls. Maybe it’d be better played on a Wii.
The playing experience was also quite shitty in the Sony showroom. They insisted that we keep the volume down so as not to affect the other customers. WHAT?? How can anyone play Guitar Hero with the volume down? Those people must’ve never tried playing it before, cos you gotta hear the music to hit the rhythm.
And, the playing was actually drawing crowds! I spied a couple of parents observing us with their son begging them to get the GH3. I’m quite sure the game looks a lot more tame when a woman’s playing it. Before I started, no one was touching the Les Paul or noticing their PS3.
Oh, and it didn’t help that the sound mix on the huge-ass flat screen Sony was really bad so you get a lot of bass and not a lot of high end. With the volume down, you can hear a couple of bass notes here and there and nothing much else. Time to work on your own lousy TVs before you tell us to turn the volume down ya?
Never buying anything from that showroom. Ever. (Moral of story: Don’t piss off a lady GH player.)
The second time we played Guitar Hero was at PS, Best Denki. This one was Guitar Hero II and it had Sweet Child O’ Mine! One of my all time favourite songs.
The graphics for this one were a significant improvement over GH1, but a far cry from the GH3. Probably because of the new developers. But it had more of the all time classic favourites compared to GH3. (i.e. More stuff that I know and want to play.) And it was proof that the cabled controller still rules!
So what exactly do I want for christmas?? I love the songs from GH1, the one that got me hooked to the game. I love the songs of GH2, GH Encore has “18 & Life” and I love the graphics and the Les Paul from GH3.
GET ME ALL 4 OF THEM, SANTA!
Joseph
Friday, December 14th, 2007During a rather solemn bible study sharing at L Cell, someone said they thought Joseph was a very successful man. So Sharon probed further asking,
“Why do you think Joseph was very successful?”
The reply came,
“Because he is your boyfriend.”
åªå¯¹ä½ 有感觉
Thursday, December 6th, 2007Ok… So posting this teeny bopper MV is completely uncharacteristic of me.
But it’s been ringing in my head for ages and ages. Just had to get it out.
And maybe get it stuck in someone else’s head… heh!

åªå°ä½ 有感覺 - Fahrenheit and Hebe
Couldn’t resist adding my own cynical take on the video…
About the guys: I’ve watched this MV over and over, but I still can’t tell the four guys apart, esp. when their clothing changes for the different shots. Basketball guy looks like lee hom but in a rather uncute fashion, dancing guy is so bloody annoying and his pink heart shaped balloons really get on my nerves, flute playing guy can’t act, and magician guy looks promising only from his side profile. And besides dancing guy, the rest can’t dance.
About the girl: Her ponytail persona has no personality whatsoever. She has absolutely no chemistry with any of the guys, which might say something about them as well. Plus, when a bouquet of flowers drops into the hat that the guy is performing tricks with, you’d think to look up and see who dropped it in, no?

I Only Have Feeling For You - Fahrenheit & Hebe
A look that can’t be understood, A heart that is like a needle at the bottom of the sea
Only using guessing, I feel that I have no appetite.
It’s a little bit irritating, yet it mesmerizes at the same time.
There’s no fate for romance, Our response is too slow
Not discrete enough, Choosing the wrong color of the flowers.
But it’s contradicting, I like your stupidity.
A smile, no matter how beautiful, how sweet, as long as it’s not your’s, it’s not special.
Tears, no matter how bitter, how salty, with your condolences, it’s a clear day yet again.
No matter how close, how intimate you are, without a hug, it’s considered too far.
The whole world I only have feelings for you.
No matter how crazy, how wild we play, once you stare at me, I’ll keep my feelings.
No matter how broad and far the road is, as long as you hold my hand, it’s very safe.
I’ll be good and stick close to you, and be dedicated, and not be fake.
I only have feelings for you
Dedicated, yet sticky, Like to cry yet docile
Naive at times, yet scheming at times
Showing hate to you, means that I can’t bear to leave you.
Please take in the nutrients, to balance your brain.
Want you to appear, yet your actions are so slow.
How can I admit that I can’t live without you.
disclaimer: if the translation sucks, it’s not my fault… i got it from here .
