Message From The Webmaster Major site revamp! Its not about me, its what I do. SPREAD THE WORD!!! Cheers, Daniel Merry Christmas Monday, December 26, 2005 Raining everyday but still so damn hot... *Clears throat* A VERY MERRY WET AND HOT CHRISTMAS TO YOU! That didn't sound right -_-" In other news, won't be updating news till I get this comp fixed up. It feels... different and I've been spoilt with tabbed browsing... internet speed here is slow as too. In other not so exciting news, I'll be going out a lot for a long time :P Since this isn't a wtfdidIdotodayblog, thats gonna eat into updates as well. P.S: Fugg its hot here... REAL HOT Tataima Thursday, December 22, 2005 After a 19 hour journey, I'm finally back :) And now I'm off again, off to Sze's house now... hopefully its not THAT hot and humid up there >.< My instant reaction was HOOOLLYY SHIIIIT when I stepped out of the airport... i felt my face melting as I tasted the heat. My voice also went funny for awhile, what the hell is in the air??? So anyways, too much to say (I really shouldn't), I gotta get runnin now, my dogs are well, and they remember me :D I'm Still Alive Monday, December 19, 2005 I know I haven't been updating at all... just letting you know I'm still alive, and have had a very busy weekend. First off, sisters wedding: Fantastic. Lots of food, stuffed my face and "tarpau'ed" wtv my hands could carry :P Second: Two movies. King Kong = The good stuff, go watch it if you haven't. Chronicles of Narnia = Shit, unless you like kiddy shows... the plot had so many holes (I've never read the book but the movie was really shit to me) and some (most) of it was just ridiculous. Deserves a big WTF!? GG NEXT PLZ Tomorrow = Finish my last anime, return all of them, and get all my NZ stuff sorted out + packing :S I'll be back 21st night M'sian time, if you wanna hook up, send me a mail or call :) No news, really don't have the time >.< See you guys back in Msia :) Interruptions Friday, December 16, 2005 Ok, didn't update yesterday, won't be updating much in the next few days either... reformatting comp today :D Getting my new babies (plural) today too :) SO yea, don't expect too much, I'll still be digging since its a one-click thing. VIDEOS: CNN Runs Out Of News - The world was at peace for awhile... VIDEOS: 1100HP Skyline - Insane Pictures Wednesday, December 14, 2005 As I promised, here are some of the pictures I managed to take today at the premiere, note that I didn't get pictures of Peter Jackson, Naomi Watts (picture turned out too bright, and can't really see her face), Karl Urban (camera crapped out), and the rest of the NZ stars. I did however get pics of the others (even though I thought I missed a few). Click on thumbnails to enlarge, had to resize the enlarged pics too cos photobucket has a file-size limit >.< Many hours before the event officially started, HOT and CROWDED! These guys are part of the pre-show entertainment, don't ask me what they're doing... they move like robots and completely bleached... Another part of the pre-show stuff, stilt walkers that walk like... stilt walkers Original prop from the movie, right beside embassy Another prop, got a really nice close up :) Nothing to do with the movie, but still a damn cool structure (Weta Tripod) built by Weta Workshop on Courtenay Place, check out the N64 controller and Gameboy on the legs :) Red carpet and props, taken before the stars rolled in Another red carpet shot, after the stars rolled in Embassy entrance, where the VIPs watch the premiere And of course lets not forget the stars :) Here's Jamie Bell... Adrien Brody... Andy Serkis... and Colin Hanks Your lovable author sitting on the floor getting some shade camping :P That's Fareed behind me... and my very own Kong banana! Courtesy of ZM FM I didn't take a pic of the plasticboard poster, but you can spot it in the other pictures on the gates :P My finger hurts... King Kong Premiere What a bloody hot day... and of all days too. I was down at Courtenay Place again, where the streets were closed off for the red carpet. I was standing right in front :) The whole street was packed full of people, I got the best spot (after much pushing asian style), right where the stars get dropped off at the red carpet... UNFORTUNATELY MY DUMBASS SISTER DIDN'T CHARGE BOTH BATTERIES FOR THE CAMERA SO I ONLY TOOK VERY FEW PICTURES. I missed Peter Jackson, the guy who played gollum/kong, and I'm not sure if I managed to snap Adrian Brody/Naomi Watts as my camera kept dying on me... I'll have my sisters head. At least I was standing a meter away from them :) I really should've brought a marker + paper... totally slipped my mind. Oh yeah, I stole the ultimate piece of swag - one of them big King Kong posters strapped to the railings :P Busted my finger in the process >.< There were MANY other stars, local and international that made their way down the carpet to embassy. Colin Hanks and Karl Urban were there too, I didn't see him though (blocked by some major fat ass then). I also didn't see Jack Black (absent?). Of course, camping under the sun 6 hours can't be good for me, I've now got a major pounding headache... need to shower + recover now. Things to remember next big premiere: - Bring a blade/scissors so I can steal more of them plasticboard posters - Bring a marker + paper to get autographs - Bring my own water so I won't have to spend 8 bucks for water - Bring a camera with batteries for obvious reasons stated above I'll have some pics up (those that I managed to take) as soon as the batteries are charged. F'kin Occupied Tuesday, December 13, 2005 Ya know, I've been quite busy lately and not been on as long as I normally am... Hell, I don't even get much time on the comp cuz every damn person wants to use it. Anyways, after having dinner at my sister's place with her soon to be in-laws, I went to get more DVD's, and I saw the red carpet, for tomorrow big event... KING KONG PREMIERE!!! I'm so going down :D All you losers can see the pics/vids I take if I manage to get good ones :) *My mom wants to see Mr. Brody sigh* GAMING: Lost Planet Official Site - Head over to the trailer, looks pretty sweet VIDEOS: Mule Hits Reporter - Ouch that hurt P.S: I'm gonna be hella busy till Christmas, got so much to do Black Man In Japan Monday, December 12, 2005 This guy's site is simply fun (and funny) to read. He's a black American named Azrael who lives in Japan and works as an English teacher, and talks about his life regarding his work, his colleagues, and his students... and also how Japanese culture differs greatly from everywhere else... it doesn't take long to realize that the Japanese are just sooo weird :P I've never gotten so close to Japanese school life before. Highly recommend, extremely enjoyable read, as I've pretty much spent all of today reading his editorials (minus the hours spent outdoors + comp invaded by family members). BLOG: Black Man In Japan - Definetely worth bookmarking I'm going back to reading + finishing my anime... P.S: DVD's are F'KING expensive o.O" Festives Sunday, December 11, 2005 Okay, so I'm 5 hours late posting today's (yesterday's) entry.

Piano's gone, another computer + table taken away... leaving behind bags (yes bags) of dust. If you thought that was bad, you should have seen my computer, I have never seen so much dust in one place before. I took the chance to clean my comp yesterday :) Spent 2 hours cleaning its internals = 1 mm layer of dust on my 3dcard/soundcard/network card/base of case, and the fan + power supply was completely choked with dust at the grills... the face plate had heaps of crap too, removed it just to take out the CLUMPS of dust. I actually had to use a vacuum cleaner to pick up alot of the dust in the comp o.O Guess thats what you get for leaving a comp under a table 1 inch above the carpet >.< I feel sick inhaling so much dust... its everywhere... back to vacuuming...
