Well, I just got my posting at a company near Paya Lebar Rd called NexLabs recently.. I’m currently working on a project (Yes, I was given on 1st day of work) and I am having some minor difficulty doing it since it requires Java which I have forgotten about it since 2 years back.. -_-;
But the good thing is that I do have some recollection of what I did 2 years ago on Java.. I will do my best during my internship and well, learn from the work experience.. Sadly, there isn’t any females working at the company.. =3
Fortunately, I will still use some of my spare time to watch anime and do my regular blogging.. Till then, I need to get some sleep.. Nite everyone.. ^^
It has been a rough week for me as Hari Raya clashes with some of my schedules, including doing my blog entries.. I also have to plan the Hari Raya for my school friends soon.. It seems that I have other problems to take care too.. =3
The problem is that my laptop’s charger adaptor is releasing smoke again.. Must be some loose wirings burning the rubber insulation.. This isn’t good news as a fire might occur.. Need to get a new adaptor for myself later in the afternoon.. This is one HELL WEEK..
Speaking of Hell, Jigoku Shoujo Season 3 or better known as “Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae” is already out in Japan.. I will get some free time to watch the show.. The new season is very interesting.. A MUST WATCH for everyone.. xD
Well, to end this short entry, here is the PV of “Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae”.. Enjoy!!
Once again the festival is finally here.. Its the festival where we visit our grandparents and granduncles/aunties, some living at faraway lands.. Families will drive whatever vehicles they own, from cars to bikes to even trucks just for the sake of travelling around.. ^^
Well, that is just the partial reason for Hari Raya.. The other reason for Hari Raya is the “green packets” that are filled with moneys (Usually about SGD$2, SGD$5 or SGD$10).. The larger your family with most of them as working adults, the more money you can collect.. xD
Well, the money I’ve collected will be used partially for paying for the things I have/will have for the month of September and October.. Well, here are the list of items:
Kei’s Gallery ArtBook
I didn’t expect to get this easily since it used to be on sale in Japan and at best at Amazon Japan.. But thanks to Kinokuniya and Feidamu, I’ve manged to obtain it.. Well, I do need to pay him for getting me this artbook.. ^^
Well, the main reason for wanting this book for quite a long time is the contents of the book.. It has artworks of Kei himself (obviously) with a first few pages dedicated to Hatsune Miku artworks..
Very nice artworks indeed.. I love it.. ^^
Well, other than just the Hatsune Miku artworks, Kei also did other artworks, some of them are just random while some are from animes themselves like Gainax’s “FLCL”.. His artworks are simply amazing..
Well, I will recommnd everyone to get this artbook even you are not a Hatsune Miku fan.. There are alot of artworks that is beautifully done and totally looks amazing.. I will do a review on this pretty soon.. ^^
1/10 Francesca Lucchini PVC
Yeah, this was actually not what I planned to get during September but due to this offer at Hobby Link Japan (HLJ) here, me, Nanopulp and Feidamu wanted it so bad.. So in the end, I somehow managed to rake up more bills to pay for.. At least she looks cute..
Now.. Onto my figurines I’m going to get this early October.. They were released in End September but La Tendo seems to have it late.. Who cares, onto the figurines:
Alter 1/8 Beat Blades Haruka
The first figurine I wanted to buy after I joined Team Blue.. It was the time that I had joined the DARK SIDE.. I almost wanted to give up on this figurine but I decided to stick to my plan and still buy it since it is my first figurine I ordered.. Click here is the link.. ^^
Lets hope that I can get the money out when she arrives at La Tendo..
GSC 1/8 Hatsune Miku
As a Hatsune Miku fan, I as a Miku Guardian pre-ordered it as soon as it was opened for pre-orders.. I wasted no time in getting it.. What can I say? I love how shiny her outfit are shiny (quite a rarity since only some gets it..)..
It is good that I got her before pre-orders are closed.. Click
here for link.. xD
Thats all the items that I’ll be using some of my Hari Raya money for.. Well, that is why I hate buying on impulse.. Can’t control myself.. =3
With the remaining money I have, I’ve decided to gives some Hari Raya money to everyone living at my home, especially Figma Miku..
However, Hachune Miku saw what was going on and wanted to get the Hari Raya money too.. xD
Well, before I could give Hachune Miku another “green packet”, Figma Miku was very kind to give Hachune hers.. Hachune was so excited when she got it, though the “packer” seems abit big for her.. -_-;
At least Hachune Miku loves it.. Figma Miku loves to see Hachune Miku smiles, thats for sure.. ^^
I hope you enjoyed your Hari Raya holiday.. I enjoyed mine the best.. I do wonder why there are fewer people set up “Lampu Kelap-Kelip” this year.. Must be due to electricity bill.. xD
To end this entry, I would like to say to everyone,
Selamat Hari Raya!!
What happens when Wikipedia is actually a professor in a university? Well, it would be a super hilarious plus entertaining class indeed.. Who needs a boring lecturer when you can have Professor Wikipedia who can provide you with the interesting answers needed for your questions..
Well, who says the sources are entirely true right?? [Citation needed].. Well, to know more, do watch this video.. ^^
Another season sets in and I am feeling abit stressed out.. Apparently I cant find my receipts for the GSC 1/8 Hatsune Miku and 1/8 Beats Haruka.. Thinking they might be in the piles of rubbish books/files, I went ahead to start my first Autumn-Cleaning..
But looking at that makes me decide that I had to clear up any trash so that I wont misplace anything else in the future..
Man, that looks messed up..
Well, it wasn’t hard getting those junks out of my shelf.. The hard part was sorting out the real trash from the rest..
Among those trash I did find some stuff worth keeping, for a longer while that is.. One example is this; a guide book for the Singapore Toys & Comic Convention and 2 Tofu-man toys..
Wanted to give the toys away but there were no takers.. Pity.. Well, if anyone wants it you can PM me via chatbox..
Next up is these 2 Granado Espada Invitation Card.. Yeah, you heard me right.. These cards were given for the launch of the game how many moooons ago.. The launch party was held at Zouk and well, I didnt get to enjoy the party..
The contents of the envelopes… The card was well-made.. Too bad the game didn’t catch on with everyone, thought the OST was good.. ^^
Now BEHOLD, I recently discovered my very old book back in the primary school days.. It was my Gamefaqs of the old days.. Back then, friends kept asking me the cheat codes for alot of games.. This was my secret weapon back then.. xD
Well for example, I scanned this page filled with Age of Empires 2 cheats.. Well, I doubt anyone is still playing this game when there is AOE3..
So after sorting the trash from the rest, I placed the trash into the plastic bag provided.. Well, the trash filled up about 3 small trash bags..
Seriously, I just realised that I have been keeping too much junks in the house.. x.X
I did summon help from Sword Impulse and Force Impulse to do the sorting for me.. Doing all this work all by myself will take hours to accomplish.. xD
After 1 hour of mass cleaning and sorting and with the help of the Impulses, I have finally managed to clear up alot of spaces from the shelf..
This means that I have enough space to place my figmas, especially Figma Hatsune Miku.. Well, thats all I have for today.. And yeah, I finally found my 2 receipts for the 2 figures.. ^^
So how about you?? Do you do your Annual Cleaning of your room?
As for now, I think I better take a rest from all of that work.. Too much energy was drained during the 1 hour period.. 
How hot can one person endure on a hot surface? Well, wait no further.. Apparently the guys from the Japanese television show “Lincoln” get to try it out for us, testing whether they can endure for very long on hot surfaces found on items that you can surely find out in the streets like the bonnet of a black-coloured car.. ^^
Well, without further ado, let me show you the video itself..
Via JapanProbe
Recently, my bro; Infestor51 got a new screensaver on his laptop from his friend and he decided to show what it was.. Thinking that it was just some plain old screensaver that anyone can make, I wanted to take a quick glance and then go back to my own work..
The quick glance turned to a long stare as I watched the unique screensaver.. The screensaver is called “UNIQLOCK” or simply known to some, “UNIQue-cLOCK”.. It is an viral advertisement by UNIQLO (meaning Unique Clothing), a Japanese casual wear designer, manufacturer and retailer…
Well, looking at the picture above, YES, it has women dancing along and doing things in sync with the music.. The first five seconds will have you looking at the time ticked by while the next 5 seconds will have you looking at the women doing stuff.. This is a repeated cycle which is IMO quite interesting..
Well, it doesn’t really mean that you will see the same dance moves over and over again.. The dance moves will eventually change over a period of time.. Lets take a look at examples below:
At 12.30PM:
The women are enjoying with their dances..
At 6.59PM:
The women are still dancing happily with the music.. ^^
However at 12.25AM:
The women are fast asleep in the library.. Kawaii~~ xD
Now let us move on to the next section of this unique screensaver.. Why is this called a viral advertisement? Well, for a start, it already has 3 fashion seasons for the screensaver.. What do I mean by that? Lets take a look shall we?? ^^
They released their first UNIQLOCK (Season 1) on 15th July 2007 showing the women wearing Dry Polo Shirts..
The next UNIQLOCK (Season 2) was released on 1st October 2007, this time with the women wearing Cashmere Knit..
And currently, the UNIQLOCK we see this time is the 3rd Season which have them wearing 20 Colour T-Shirts..
It comes in two screensavers, the “UNIQLOCK” and “Dry In Motion”.. I wouldn’t touch on “Dry In Motion” since Im speechless after looking at it..
If you think getting the screensaver isn’t enough, try putting it in your blog.. Yes, you heard me.. You can generate their UNIQLOCK for your very own blog.. It is very simple and you will love it.. ^^
Other than just doing both, you can also take a look around the site for some very amazing and unique features that they provide.. The first would be the 20 Colours T-Shirts that they are selling..
They show the women wearing them and doing different poses for each picture.. As a tick goes by, the picture will change.. I like the woman wearing the white T-shirt.. She looks pretty.. 
The next one I would like to show is the WORLD.UNIQLOCK.. This features a world map which provides the details of towns and cities across the globe, about how many Users are using UNIQLOCK and the number of views for the website itself..
A very amazing feat they have done.. I applaud them for doing such great work..
Oh yeah, before I forget.. Sometimes when the video,screensaver or the time-on-blog is playing, you might see these critters jumping around the area the video is showing.. Try to count how many you did see for just 10mins only; there would be plenty of them jumping around..
Well, thats it everybody.. I hope you will get to enjoy using this screensaver for your computer/laptop.. Please visit their website to check out the pretty ladies see the wonderful UNIQLOCK.. ^^

It has been awhile since I have reformatted my laptop (about 1 years..).. It was troubling for me to reformat early this year due to schoolwork and also the problem of studying for my school’s semestral examination..
Some of you might have noticed that I post this entry quite late due to the reformatting process I did after my final exam paper for this semester..
Not only does it took 2 hours to reformat the whole laptop, it took me an extra 1 hour to get all the necessary drivers and softwares needed to be installed on my laptop..
Backing up on my old data was quite boring actually; I have to copy those pictures, videos and other datas that are worth being backed up.. Those that are not selected for backing up are gone permanently which is good since I do not have to delete them one at a time..
Well, one of the files that I backed up was the “My Pictures” folder, filled wit pictures of the recent events like Natsu Matsuri, CosFest and the WCG Coscon..
There are also the Hatsune Miku pictures that I have stored for blogging reference and also inspiration for making my own Miku pictures.. There are a couple of Miku projects me and my brother embarked on.. More on that in future entries..
Although digging up old junks was initially boring, there was some interesting discovery I found within my laptop..
I found some old screenshots of my WoW character during my WoW days.. It has been a long time since I played the game.. Due to the September holidays coming up and also the recent Wrath of the Lich King cinematic trailer, I might start my WoW account again..
Then this is the best treasure I found within my laptop’s data, the music video for White Reflection, the famous song played in Gundam Wing Endless Waltz..
No it is not the Gundam Wing video, it is really a PV from TWO-MIX themselves, though it is animated..
This was a very old video I found by chance from the defunct DivX Video Site like quite long ago, even longer than last year’s reformat.. Well, this is one PV that I kept for so long and will be one of the few videos that I will continue to keep for times to come..
Anyway, for those Gundam Wing fans, here is the PV of White Reflection by TWO-MIX:
How about you, do you find any good treasures while digging out old data junks from your desktop or laptop? ^^
Singapore is finally excited to hear that it’s table-tennis team have secured a silver medal in the Beijing Summer Olympic 2008.. It was a long road for us since it has been 48 years since we have our first Olympic medal..
Well, it was a very long wait but in the end they finally secured a silver medal.. However, I didn’t manage to catch all the matches held today except the women singles between Li Jia Wei & Kim Kyung Ah which we watched in Singapore Polytechnic’s Foodcourt 4..
Quite a crowd eh?
Today’s table tennis match was between Singapore and South Korea.. Here are the players involve in today’s match:
Singapore:
Li Jia Wei
Wang YueGu
Feng Tianwei
South Korea:
Park Mi Young
Kim Kyung Ah (Right) and Park Mi Yuong
Dang Ye Seo
Well, the battle rages on since afternoon when the first match; Feng Tianwei VS Dang Ye Seo kicks off.. Here are the highlights(Quoted from nbl.globalwhelming.com):
First Match: Feng Tianwei VS Dang Ye Seo
Feng Tianwei was the first up for Singapore and she won her match against Dang Ye Seo, 11-5, 11-5, 11-2, giving Singapore the lead.
She breezes through this match without a hitch, while Dang Ye Seo looks below par and not mentally prepared and was rather disturbed as she slides to a lose.
Second Match: Kim Kyung Ah VS Li Jiawei
Kim Kyung Ah beat Li Jiawei 3-2 in a five-set thriller, 5-11, 11-8, 9-11, 11-6, 11-8.
This match was the best of the 5 that was played. Most of the best spins are saw here and we see Li Jiawei getting outwit at times by Kim Kyung Ah, who was playing a defensive game with some trick attacks. Li Jiawei who was looking really good in the first 2 sets, starts to lose ground and her expressions reminds me of her in Athens, when she was losing.
Third Match: Li Jiawei & Wang Yuegu VS Kim Kyung & Park Mi Young
The Singapore pair wrapped up this match efficiently with a 3-0 win over the S Korean pair, taking the match 11-7, 11-6, 11-9.
A doubles match that saw the Singapore pair outclass the Korean Pair with their really aggressive style. Played with 3 straight wins, it was an important match that kept Singapore in the hopes for a gold or silver medal.
Fourth Match: Wang Yuegu VS Dang Ye Seo
In the fourth match, Singapore’s Wang Yuegu lost 0-3 to S Korea’s Dang Ye Seo. She went down 11-8, 14-12, 11-9.
Before the match start, i thought Singapore has nailed it for sure, judging from Dang Ye Seo previous performance. But Dang Ye Seo took a 360 degree turn from her disappointing first match and this prove to be a shock for Wang Yuegu. Her change to a very aggressive style took Wang Yuegu by surprise when the Korean edges 7-0(right?) in the first set over her. She hit back after that, but that was not enough, and she lost to eventually in 3 very intense and close sets to the powerful Korean.
Last Match: Feng Tianwei VS Park Mi Young
In the rubber, Singapore’s Feng Tianwei beat S Korea’s Park Mi Young 3-1, taking the match 11-7, 12-10, 3-11, 11-9.
During the fourth match, we saw Feng cutting and preparing her paddle for the inevitable 5th set. Feng was on a really good form today, and i think she played the best among the Singaporean paddlers. And the match went overtime(after a 8-7 score with Feng leading), which was really crucial, but she did it. Her aggressive smashes made the Korean looks weak, though it killed off her too when a few of her confirmed points was wasted when she smashed wrongly. This match also see a heightened emotion among the Korean and Singaporean teams on the bench where Wang Yuegu and Kim Kyung both were sent off the bench with red cards for shouting advices.

In support for the Beijing Olympic Games, Singapore Mcdonalds released a set of Olympic cups with every Extra Value Meal..
Well, each type of cups comes at 1 type per week.. There are 5 cups to choose from; Archery, Volleyball, Athletics , Basketball and Swimming.. Quite a good set to collect but I have to spend some $$$ just to get them..
However, I didn’t manage to get all of them due to either lack of funds or I wasn’t interested in eating at McDonalds..
The only ones I got were:
Volleyball
Swimming
& Archery..
Well, it has been a rough ride for Singapore to clinch their first medal since Singapore’s independence.. Well, I am happy that the Table Tennis were able to pull it off..
Speaking of the Olympic cups, did you manage to get the whole set?? ^^
