THE NEVERENDING STAR WARS

Everyone knows I am the biggest star wars fan. While everyone held back and just donned their t-shirts for the EPISODE III first screening (except my cousin shaun in singapore - he is even worse than I am) and at most just brought their lightsabers, I came in a full last-minute assembled vader suit (thanks to my dad mostly)....

Well Nov 1 is the date that Revenge of The Sith comes to DVD (the original not cetak rompak version) and I eagerly await screening all the movies back to back in pristine high-quality DVD. Was thinking borrowing the office projector to do this...

So why cant Lucas FIX EVERYTHING with episodes IV,V and VI? I mean just freaking do it for goodness sakes. He made a mistake by already "fixing" some portions in the special editions. And for the DVD re-release he fixed only another small bit. Since he already committed to those fixes he should fix everything!!!! I got some suggestions for you Mr. Lucas, and the FANS DEMAND THESE FIXES TODAY:

STAR WARS
1) Please CGI all lame-ass motion control models, like the millenium falcon chase with the star destroyers, and the slow tie-fighters in the death star escape chase
2) Please do something about Yavin hanger. Please make it look busy and bigger and with people running about and ships taking off
3) Please change the dumb computer graphics for the death star briefing.
4) Please overdub some vocals for the unimportant actors as the audio sounds dated
5) Pleaase fix the ugly asteriods when the falcon comes out of hyperspace. It should look like the ones in attack of the clones
6) Please make sure NO MORE lightsaber color problems
7) Please cgi new falcon leaving death star. the old one looks so so so LAME


EMPIRE STRIKES BACK
1) Please CGI all tauntauns
2) Please CGI yoda so it looks the same as other episodes
3) Please CGI the WAMPA


RETURN OF THE JEDI
1) The ewoks mouths dont move. Do something
2) The ewok suits look like suits. Do something
3) Please make sure NO MORE lightsaber color problems
4) Please please please remove that black splotch on the emperors cape
5) Please CGI the rancor

And not forgetting....

PHANTOM MENACE
1) Please CGI yoda

WELCOME TO PARADISE

Back to the blog. This has seriously got to stop... I mean one blog entry every few months, what gives...

September. And as usual I am extremely busy to the ones who know me closely and always fighting for time, both for work and fun.

Fun is seriously missing right now. Work is great because when you have finished projects and have achieved what you sought out to do, i.e. give a great presentation, make a major deal... the sense of acheivement is great. Like scoring a goal in extra time...

Hoe has been bugging me to get the PSP. It is very compelling reason for me to get one because of one game that comes out this month - WINNING ELEVEN 9.... well, to this I almost committed but Steve Jobs had to put a spanner in my plans by introducing the gorgeous IPOD nano. Pencil thin - IMPOSSIBLY SMALL.

PSP - Great games, not great at songs, acceptable at video, expensive games, lack of productivity software (Won't help in my work), Web browser, slightly big-gotta lug in around in a bag

IPOD NANO - Slings round your neck with the optional lanyard, impossibly small, very few games and not exactly cutting edge (PARACHUTE???), great music player, keeps calendars and contacts, picture viewer...

Well, just have to find excuses to buy BOTH of them.

Anyway - on streamyx. I am quite happy to finally get my streamyx in Cyberia after weeks of shouting and screaming between me, my dad and telekom. Guess what, the phone lines went down 2 days ago and it's possibly the work of MyKris as the Telekom guy found the cales plugged out in the riser.... What a loser.

Well, I can say my parents have got used to staying here pretty well. And my dad is already involved in cyberia pizza and pasta place at the clubhouse. The great thing above living here is that you can directly come home via ERL and efficient feeder bus service...that's how my mom comes home every day from work.

Ill be in Pattaya next week on a business trip. Cool. Can't wait.

Chern, if you read this - sorry you got robbed. Poor you.

It's not been an easy month. I guess I didn't want to come back to blogging but I guess I might as well.

My grandma has passed on been about almost a month now. I miss her tremendously. Leukemia, diabetes she fought hard. She fell down, was admitted and 1 week afterwards her kidneys failed.

Mustered enough cash to send my mom to visit her. She died 3 days later.

Just 2 weeks before - my granduncle died (dad's side). So now there are no more granduncles on my dad's side.

And I have no grandparents anymore. Mama was my dear and only grandma. 5 years ago I sent her to KLIA and been meaning to visit her ever since. Now she's gone and I can't see her again.

Last week, Mel's niece passed away. She was only 23/24.

I've had enough of death to last this whole year. Everything has died this month.

Mama was the symbol of the previous generation. She was the strength and symbol of youth for the grandchildren.

Now we have to finally grow up. I don't know what to express in this blog or what to say. I don't care who reads this or not.

I miss mama. I love u mama.

IPOD SHUFFLE

Did I forget to mention I bought an iPod shuffle (in singapore) ? Love the little bugger. Does its job well. You know what someone ripped it off > link here.

Ah well, everyone wanna rip off Apple. Proves those guys really have great product design. Steve Jobs is d greatest.

I plan to get my Mac Mini in may. When OS X.4 is released. Haha, worth waiting coz i'd get the older OS buying it now.

Why use PCs? What is wrong with all of you? GET A MAC! or at least have 1 of each! 1 for work, 1 for FUN!

APPLE FOREVER.
Greetings bloggers and viewers.... Mesa back.

REVENGE OF THE SITH

The hype is boiling. This looks to be the most kick-ass star wars yet. Unfortunately some joker has been sending out a ms doc with a lot of pics and spoilers. To quote what my friend Kumar told me, "you have already waited for 3 years what is 2 more months?". I wanna keep away from such things now or else the movies impact would get watered down.


EXAMS ????

Had 2 weeks of non-working (not 100 percent still had to do some work) bliss in Singapore last month to take a course for one of apps I am supporting. Tension when came back. Exam... glad I passed phew...... so glad so glad so glad. Now I feel more "qualified" in my new job.

CNY

Actually celebrated CNY in Cyberjaya and KL for THE FIRST TIME. It was pretty neat. Never done that before (and in my house too).


THE GANG

Yes, you guys... life is more interesting or bitchy thanks to all of you. You know who you are... thanks for NOT celebrating me birthday muahahahah.


MEL AND BIRTHDAY DINNER

Thanks for a great bday dinner at Avanti's. That is a really nice place. Best dinner I ever had despite only averaging 3 hours of sleep for the past 3 days before the dinner.


WHY BLOG WHY BLOG

I dunno. I am getting horrible at this. Utterly horrible. Well, something better than nothing.


'till next entry. Ciao.

Time to start blogging again. Wow when was the last entry?? November????

Missed blogging about the Tsunami (I wuz in Penang when it happened) about this and that.

Job
Well 6 months going into my new job. it's been challenging, but this is THE job that I am enjoying. It's not really what I planned to do as a career but I am here, and here is where I'll be.

Cool company but tough targets. Well, I'll be hoping to get better at what I do and take my certifications asap. It's good teamwork as far as colleagues go, with only one guy making it a bit tough for me but hey - what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger....


Mel
Mel is doing great in her job ... will someone pls give her a raise / promotion. She's talented and hardworking and determined..... I guess we are trying to plan and look at how to improve our relationship as well. Relationships have ups and downs but like everything, if both parties have the same goals and head towards the same direction, things would work out great....

Parents and Cyberia
Parents have been supportive as always and have adapted well to the new hope except that we still have lotsa clearing to do with regards to the old place....

Other Stuff...
1) Well our little old futsal team now has a name and we are getting better and more united. Here's our team name (don't laugh) UNITED COLOURS FOOTBALL CLUB - UCFC.... Arrrhhh it's okay you can go ahead and laugh...

2) Some old pals got married - Chew Foo got married, here's to you pal...

3) Need to touch base with friends working in KLCC and Maxis.... Steven, Weng Kai

4) Finally - I can afford an Apple. Awaiting to get my Mac Mini and iPod shuffle haha

Well, life although has been much of the same-old same-old does have its twists here and there. Here I am, working hard in the city centre, trying to make a living... There has to be more than this. I guess I am looking to some furthur financial stability and decide to do more to this limited life. Have always wished everyday if I could somehow turn in back a little... my advice to everyone is CHERISH these moments together and make the most of it.

On a final note, this year -CHILLIN and HANGING OUT seems to have started with a bang, as us friends Lan/Kit/Johan/S.Ann/Alvin/KC/Mel and Myself have just spend maybe a bit TOO MUCH TIME drinking and getting wasted... and KIT - how could we forget the RM61 per person KARAOKE session...

'Nuff said for now...
