Caught Fantastic 4 a couple of days back. I thought it was quite cool when the Human Torch was chasing the Silver Surfer.

If Iceman was there too, it would have been totally awesome.

Anyway i don't remember Galactis being called that or looked like that, cos i read him as Galactico and him wearing a purple helmet thingie.

Bought a pair of shoes(look above!) Totally dig the dirty-look man. I am SO ready for school! =p

I came across this company name in Clayton awhile back.

LJ Hooker. Hmmm... Something to ponder about...

Anyway i was blog surfing for quite a bit and i came across many kinds of blogs. Food. Sex. Random. 3-posts-and-its-dead blog.

And i learnt that pictures really help to enhance the entries. So i am gonna add photos to the previous fews and future posts but i ain't an avid photographer so yeah..

And sorry for the random photos for the past entries. There's no link with them and the contents anyways.

Onto Band of Brothers now. Kind of make me miss army.

YAH RIGHT.

ORD LO~!

" ... 4 8 15 16 23 42 ... "

So. I went to do up more research this morning about alternate reality gaming.

http://www.mirlandano.com/arg-quickstart.html
This site provides a pretty good outline of how the whole thing works.

For those detective-wannabe, and those who enjoy working together in groups to solve mysteries, yeah this thing's for you.

Go listen to this phone recording if you've got 45 seconds.

Apparently this seemingly "normal" video on youtube is a 'rabbithole', one of the ARG terms they use to refer to an entry point into an ARG.

And for the Heroes fans... http://www.primatechpaper.com/ ... sounds just like the company aye?

For me, i prefer more straightforward games. Cluedo comes the furthest for any mystery-solving games.

I googled and wiki-ed on Lost. Seriously if you have the time, and you've watched the show but only thought it as a show, go look up on it.

The results and information i got were immense. And not only that.

It led me to a whole new aspect of genre i've never heard of until now.

And for me, who is very interested in stuff like this, finds these things very very fascinating.

All the games i've played are... well... just games. Controllers. Fingers. Eyes. Mind.
And the shows are just shows. You watch and when it ends it ends. You just don't think so much about it.

Well okay. Lost is a show. But it's a show that's tied in with an Alternate Reality Game.

And the bad thing is, i don't know what's real and what's not.

I get stuff like Valenzetti's Equation, Hanso Foundation, DHARMA Initiative, Lost Experience, Gary Troup and his book Bad Twin, Rachel Blake, and Lost. And all this freaking link up to this whole big damn plot.

They are basically using what happened in the real world and linking that up with the fictional plot in the series. And it's really awesome.

Hard to explain, but the power of media technology is thoroughly exhibited.

I've just been scratching my head all night long doing my best to figure out how this whole thing works. Till now i don't know what's fiction or not.

I suppose mostly are fiction... BUT THEY FREAKING MAKE THEM SO REAL. Rah.

Hah.. sorry for the incoherent post. Enlighten me if you please. =)

The problem with the Lost people is that they don't share things with each other.

Everyone's like having secrets of their own and... they all have their own SERIOUS psychological problems. They are too concerned about their inner problems to actually solve the actual problems. But then again, they are probably too freaked out from that plane crash and monsters and THE OTHERS.

OH. So that's what Lost is about.

It's pretty freaky to have so many people on the same plane who are mentally warped.

I get pissed looking at Claire screaming and screaming and SCREAMING because she can't stay calm. Pissed cos Hurley is this guy with super low self esteem who can't help feeling sorry for himself and fearing people hate him. Pissed cos Sawyer is doing all kinds of unreasonable things so that others will hate him because somehow in his mind he enjoys that. Pissed cos Charlie can't explain things clearly to others.

Pissed cos Anna killed Shannon cos Shannon's a hot babe. =p

Thing is... I really HATE it... utterly, when people cannot stay calm.

But then again, it is only a show.

Sometimes when we watch too much shows, we start to behave like the characters. We start to talk like them, with the pauses and the WAY-TOO-LONG-LOOKS into the eyes. And we start to do things THEIR way.

Shucks.

You know how there are different kinds of villains.

People tend to like those utterly evil ones. Sometimes not explaining why that person is evil makes him so much more appealing.

When you have reasons for your evilness, it just makes them more... human?

Think Sandman, think Doc Ock.

Yes you might also have a softer side for them because you pity them and you know another side of their story.

People also tend to see bad asses whose cause was mental-instablity as weaker. I thought Pirates 3 could have a better ending with the showdown between the 3 ships. It was a total ownage for the pirates and in my personal view, i thought that pulled down the story a little.

But when a true EVIL villain really comes out, people dig them. People love them.

Yet, i can't think of a totally evil Human character right now. They all say that Humans are all born good.

I've been thinking ...

That perhaps tmr i might wake up and have some kind of power.

Maybe i could fly, or maybe i could phase through solid walls, maybe i could heal all kind of wounds, or better still i could turn myself invisible.

I've been doing my best to move my mouse telekinetically. But it doesn't bulge even a bit. =(

I should start with smaller stuff first i guess. I just thought it would be cool to surf the net or play dota while eating my lunch simultaneously.

New York has Spiderman. Gotham City has Batman. Does Yio Chu Kang need me?

So.
Anyway, i've watched a couple of shows where they all had this plot about time travel. It's always about changing something in the past so that the future will change for the better.

Then somehow they will talk about the "future you" and "past you". And like in Heroes, "future Hiro" meets "current Hiro". And the talk about the "future you" coming back in time and changing the past(as compared to when you come from), or the current depending on how you look at it. Aye?

And they always say the "future-you" cannot meet the "you" of other times because it will upset some balance thing.

So... i've been thinking and i wonder how many "Me-s" are there if such things truly exist.

Lets say i have the power to bend space and time and thus i travel back 1 day.

By right, i should be able to see the "1-day-younger-Me", no?

So my question is, do they split it(me) up by seconds, minutes, days or what?

I don't think seconds and minutes work... cos if 10 seconds ago i walked into the room and plan to sit on the couch for 10 mins, then i should be able to see the "future-Me", sitting on the couch. Thus the balance will be upset and life will be disrupted.

How about a month? If i travel back by a month, do i get to see the me-a-month-ago?

What if i remain at a place for damn damn long?

Or another concept that i got from somewhere is that... when you time travel back to that time, you ENTER the body of YOURSELF of that time.

Erm.. sorry sounds kind of cheem but if you get it, shiok!

Then like that what if another YOU of another time could time travel also, and both him and you travel to the exact same time?

I know! Split personality!

" I come in peace ... " =)

"Nuff said ..." (Ok some spoilers of Ocean's 13 ... beware!)

So i just came back from Glen Waverley. Caught Ocean's 13 with sy. Pretty good.

But. It's kind of predictable like... they will eventually win at the end. They will win and steal the moolah NO MATTER WHAT...

Maybe i've been watching too much Prison Break, Lost and Heroes that there are too much twists and turns in the plots that they are unpredictable.

Maybe except the part when Terry attempted to steal the diamonds. But then again i kind of expected that.

I thought perhaps it would be juicier if he betrayed them like totally and like steal the money and diamonds SUCCESSFULLY and then Danny and Rusty had ANOTHER plan and counter-betray him.

That would be like TOTALLY AWESOME!!

Make me a scriptwriter or something man! =)

Dreamt about breaking prison last night
But i didn't know who was my cell mate
Except it turned into an army bunk with Eugene and Isaac
And bunny hopping like spidey was the plan
Funny how too much shows do to you
Won't be surprised i find myself in Survivor tonight
Probably with some Lost characters
And then next having some powers like Heroes
Simply love the Japanese chap who could bend time and space
And isn't Spiderman in New York too
Why isn't he part of the bunch of Heroes?

Often, when i meet new people, i will rely on how the person looks and small little actions like how the eyelashes flutters or that particular look in the eye or the body language, and then linking them to people whom i already know. This kind of allows me to create a form of character out of this new person and it is often surprising how accurate they are.

I think the easiest way to truly know someone is just to observe him/her with their friends for a day.

Anyway, went to watch Pirates 3. Pretty good. Sy and me then went to the city to meet Christine, Jane and Kenneth. Was nice to see that guy, talked quite a bit and yeah... had 12 bucks fried rice. Rah~

Been watching Lost season 1. Quite good... and i've just gotten hold of Heroes season 1! =)

You May Be a Bit Histrionic...

Dramatic and over the top, you crave attention. And you'll do anything it takes to get noticed. You love to be seductive, even when it's inappropriate. If you're ignored, you're easily hurt ... and act out even more!

What Personality Disorder Are You?

Ok... i just got up and it's freezing cold. It was 3 degrees last night. Please let it snow.

Got to go shower now. Ciaoz.

I've been slacking and rotting. At least i played soccer today. And sweated! And got tired.

Ok the bubble tea here is freaking 3.80 bucks. I can buy twice of that in singapore. But what the heck. I am on holiday.

Ah Ma!!! Sorry wasn't in this afternoon to talk to you! Miss you much much... and i just realised the climate of where you are and where i am are totally opposite. You still got sunlight at 12 midnight but mine's all dark by 6pm. And when did Giselle become Yuxuan? Doesn't she use Giselle anymore?

K i am off to play PS~! Ciaoz!

A very clever scheme right from the very start
Not told from there but it got there eventually
Poor Scofield got to end it all
And company he's got with T-Bag and Abrossi
Yet loopholes loomed and toilet holes leak
Some wide-eyed psych with supermemory
Better then the poor elephant i learnt so many times
I thought i could i get it all going
But life's not better than C-Note's in the army
Pretty drag, but take a walk yeah
Cos' in the end you couldn't save the poor old guy
DC Cooper or was it another name
I felt like strangers
Living together with Sucre
Eating and sleeping is all we do
And breaking out perhaps
With Tweener who couldn't help cut a birdie
You feel me?

I just watched the girlfriend go downstairs with the dirty laundry. I feel guilty. =(

Been watching Prison Break Season 1... Quite awesome...

So. I've safely arrived. Felt like an adventure. For those that don't know, i am sitting in the the girlfriend's room now feeling the cold and drowsiness of the medicine i just took.

Eunice didn't pick me up in the end. Luckily i kind of anticipated that and got directions from Vivek. Took the skybus shuttle to the city and transferred to the Cranbourne line train. Vivek then picked me up at Clayton Station and so there begins my 6 weeks stay in Melbourne.

It wasn't easy not knowing where the skybus shuttle bus stop was at. It wasn't easy purchasing a metlink ticket having no experience with it before. It wasn't easy pulling my heavy lugguge and it wasn't easy there was no inflight entertainment on the plane. Plus 2 wailing but adorable babies on the plane. But i knew it would be a great experience.

Happy Birthday once again!! Hope you like this surprise! And happy 33rd month too! =)

Hey Girlfriend ...

Happy 1000th day! =p
