The Ah Tiong Trilogy (Part2)

I was about to post another AT Trilogy when I saw sam's one...and I go..."How timely indeed!"

If u can remember the case of mine a few posts back, about me going in the toilet at night and finding the floor filled with pee, it has happened again. At around 330am in the morning, I went to toilet to take a leek, and guess what I saw? Thats right! The pictures below can explain it all...HARD CORE EVIDENCE! Anyway I dunno y the colour of the pee turned out to be brown, cuz in actual life, its super yellow! And stinks!






This still happened despite 2 warnings which I gave him already. I spoke to him nicely, tell him to pee sitting on the toilet bowl in the future, rather than standing up, especially since he can't aim! The 2nd warning took place in the toilet, when I brought him in and even showed him the pee stain! He gave me that kind of paiseh look la, and maybe looked like he might not do it again...but see! WTF MAN! To reinstate...Ah tiongs arz...really cannot make it!

The Ah Tiong Trilogy

"ah tiongs really cannot make it"
sounds familiar? guess who? hehe.

once, i used to work at some stupid travel agency hiring cheap china fresh graduate from ntu. i was supposed to work under him for some database thingy, but all i had to do in office was basically... msn. lol. cos he kept asking me to repeat the same thing!!! damn retarded right? waste money for them to hire me there to... msn. wahaha.

then, during cny eve this year, i had my reunion at this restaurant on the 5th level of dbs/ocbc/uob (forgot which one, only rmb near clarke quay) building. there was this china girl who was serving my table. because they had to rush to serve the food as there were a lot of people, she just anyhow place the food on the table, so quickly that she spilled my glass of tea! all she could say was "soli soli" in a very bo chap manner. wth!!! and the next thing i knew, she stepped on my foot while serving the dessert without even apologizing! tmd.

one more. there was this mac supposed to be opened at 7am. and i waited, waited, waited... until 7.10am, the floor manager came out and said still need another 10 minutes. obviously that FLOOR manager was an ah tiong. can't even speak eng well. slow slow slow!!!

the above are contributed by yy. HERE COMES THE NEXT CHALLENGER!!!


er..hi..mushimushi watashiwa L des..
i also got experience to share with ah tiongz who really cannot make it. in NTU year 1 sem 1 examinations during the communications paper, i was assigned to a seat where i am being surrounded by ah tiongz dong nan xi bei. before the paper started the east ah tiong brought in 2 english dictionary and 1 chinese dictionary, pile up not high la..about the length of a 30cm ruler only. So i ask him got space on the table to put or not..he look at me and say "ya..ya..ke yi fang xia mian". den during the paper, i write halfway den notice the west ah tiong go scratch his hair..seems normal la..cos maybe he is trying to figure out something about the question. but den after scratching his hair he go smell his fingers. swee la. also, got 1 invigilator walk past me from behind, den when he approached the north ah tiong, he took up an electronic device which is a english-chinese translator. then the invigilator ask the north ah tiong wad kind of a calculator is that, the ah tiong like dun understand, so he look at the invigilator like a retard and nod. den the invigilator tell the ah tiong tt bring this kind of device in is prohibited and liable to expel, den i sit behind in my heart thinking shiok liao faster EXPEL EXPEL! but wasted la, nv expel, in the end is give warning only. haiz..well, thats wad i got experience about with ah tiong

the following are contributed by SaM. NO MORE CHALLENGER LIAO!!!

Ah tiongs!

Have u ever encountered with any ah tiongs and had bad experiences with them? For those of u who are not sure, ah tiongs means China people.

Anyway here is my story...

I currently living with my sister and her bf who is an Ah tiong (Extra 1...come n live in my apartment for free!) Then last night, I went to the toilet to pee. When i went to the toilet bowl, I realised that the floor beneath the toilet bowl was all yellow and sticky and smelled like urine. Immediately i know who it was liaoz! Confirm is the AT (Short for ah tiong) Cuz i pee sitting down and never miss, n my sister also pee sitting down too! So the next morning, i mopped the entire shit and asked the AT if he pees sitting or standing. He said standing, then he also added that he does not on the lights when he pees at night. Then i asked him why, he said he dun want to disturb people when he on the light. (The light comes in with a suction which spins and creates some sound when the lights are on). So i was thinking its quite a lame reason, and now u have created a yellow heaven below the toilet bowl. Congrats, so i told him to next time sit on the toilet bowl n pee, dun pee standing again cuz u will create a yellow heaven.

So just now, i went to toilet again, and found yellow heaven at the toilet bowl floor again! So i mopped it up. I know it was him. And so it was clean.Then AT went to toilet, I waiting outside...I hear AT pee...then AT came out. I went inside...low n behold! Yellow spot again on the clean floor! Damn it...u really proved me right AT! Really Ah tiong...i dun blame u...thats y china still 3rd world country...

Anyone else got things to share about ah tiongs? I know yingying got msn msg before say, "Ah tiongs really cannot make it!"

lolz...anyway the chalet how? Must book asap le!!!

Going back in Summer!

Guys!

Got another update again...

My mom said she talked to my father about me coming back, then my father said that if can't get the free air tickets booking for me, then he will buy for me instead...so good right? Lol! Anyway my mom asked me if I wanna come back in july, but I think the prices for the air ticket is more expensive in July, so therefore, if it is cheaper to come back in May, then I will definitely choose May. However, the highlights of July is my birthday, which I wanna have chalet and celebrate at the same time. But May got the May Day promotion! Which is super cheap!

How siaz? Hopefully the main thing is I can come back la, that's the most important thing liaoz! Dun care whether is May or July man!

300 - WARNING VERY LONG!!!



THIS - IS - SPARTAN!!!


Just watched 300 - pure adrenaline rush !! Complete no-brainer with no plot whatsoever... just pure action .

But yep, I liked it. It's M18 for obvious reasons - decapitation, insane amounts of blood, lots of sexual scenes ( but of course, who cares about them when you have an entire 2 hrs plus of hacking and slashing) and gruesome monsters about to give kids nightmares for years. Heck, the heroes alone will give kids nightmares .. it's that violent. But I'm well over that age!! Hahha yess..... one of the times it feels good to be an adult.


So who watched? Hmm.. well there's Sam and Ivan and then Daniel and YY... but I think the 2 most interesting reactions to this show were DF and YY. With all the violence and stuff I was wondering if she was OK wiv tt cos she was de only girl there ( lol, is this discrimination?) but she managed well alright - she SLEPT thru half the movie . LOL!!! Can't imagine siah... wad wiv all de loud music n stuff... not her type of movie apparently. And then DF... what to say siah... got the excellent fortune to sit next to him . Whole movie complaining about how this movie is such a terrible influence on people, on how it's going to influence kids to go around chopping each other.... wah laoooooo GO BACK CHC LAH DF!!!!!


K back to the movie. Of course, it has had a lot of negative reviews, seeing as how it IS a complete no-brainer - except for the walling thing, not much strategy, but slightly more intelligent than Rambo. Pure CGI fest, and a bloodbath to the extreme. What exactly is the plot? Oh, something about the Battle of Thermopylae - in the movie, it is literally translated to the " Hot Walls". And about the Spartan army - the race of Greeks trained from young through the most brutal conditioning, to become a race of pure warriors ... think Gurkhas in ancient Greece. And like the Gurkhas, they are just as insane, if not worse - they live to fight until their last drop of blood, and war to them is all about the glory, about the killing.. looking at them, you find they are far more terrifying than the Persians themselves.


That is the main argument people tell about the movie - moral ambiguity. Why is it that these people are glorified - in fact, that war itself is glorified in the movie? It is a terrible thing, one that should be demonised, like, say, in the movie Iwo Jima. But let's face it, this is an action flick. And to be honest, this isn't about glorifying war. If you look at it, the heroes are really as vicious as the enemies, in fact worse, and if you ever forget that you are looking through their blood-crazed eyes, please go consult your psychologist, and leave that kitchen knife alone. The trick to enjoying this show is forgetting all that stuff for a moment and to just go along with the movie. Heck, its even funny sometimes, how these men are practically insane ... and wildly sadistic. But ok, there is some honour to their actions - they go there to die.

Alright, time to intro the main characters -

( from left to right)
- YY as high-class Ah Lian
- Samuel as smoking Ah Beng
- Who else can it be siah?? Lol... but Ah Beng dun smile right?
- Wad a DF
- SGT Ivan as owe $ pay $ Ah Long


Yep thats the gang! And now the movie characters !


LEONIDAS - ( yes same idiot as above, same pose- I'm lazy to get extra, ok?)






King of Spartans, mad mofo. Xerxes asks for him to lay down his arms, he cries " COME AND GET THEM!!!"
( actual historical quote)






XERXES aka . Venerable God-King Xerxes , His Divine Grace, The Awesome Narcissistic Bodypiercer, super shunyan










King of Persians, with a great fetish for body-piercing, plenty of slaves to die for him, and a harem full of women to lure idiots to help him. Also filthy rich, with a whole throne made of gold being carried around by his servants. Powerful because he owns half of Asia with lots of troops that number in the millions, but he has several weaknesses - 1, he thinks he's a god, which means he's immortal - which can be kind of stupid when you come straight up to an enemy army with no one to shield you.... then 2, hes got so many women and body-piercings, the easiest way to kill him would be an STD. Not to mention he might be gay, seeing as how he has wayyy too many women not to have died from an orgasm by now.






QUEEN GORGO aka. the love interest in an otherwise completely bloodrushed film.










Queen of the Spartans, and obviously wife to Leonidas, she makes up the romance portion of this movie, the sub-plot of love being intensified when the king's lieutanent loses his son and cries out for his lost chance to tell his son how much he loved him. Part-time Queen, part-time mother and full-time asskicker, she also makes the most sexual scene in the movie- which is of course later lost in the bloodbath, but hey, something else to mention in the movie I guess. Even she kills people, and makes some pretty nice quotes . Like in first part of show - Persian ambassador asks " How can you allow WOMEN to speak in front of me?" and she snaps " Because only Spartan women give birth to real man ( you fag ) " Part of the comedy script I guess. ( See? It's a romance comedy! )


Also ! Point to note- LEONIDAS IS HEN-PECKED! Why do I say that? Easy... Persian envoy is about to be pushed into the pit, he cries " THIS IS MADNESS!!" And then Leon hesitates. Has to look pleadingly at his wife, like " Oh please can I kill him please please??" and she nods " Oh alright" and so he goes " THIS IS SPARTA!!" and then gives him the earth and water he asked for ... right at the bottom of the well.


Oh btw point to note - this guy is also Gorgo =>>>>>





Any resemblance? Hahaaa~









EPHIALTES aka. traitor to the Spartans










Historically he's very very wrong. First and foremost, Ephialtes was never depicted as a hunchback, but a normal citizen.. and also not a Spartan either! But a local citizen, who simply betrayed them for the money and reward. NOT because " YOU ARE WRONG! LEONIDAS! " and stuff like that, or cos he couldn't pick up the shield as a hunchback and thus compromised the formation. Nice addition to the plot , tho, but no. Just to clear things up... the Greeks, of course, never forgot him for that. In ancient AND modern Greek, the word " Ephialtes" means nightmare. Why not shit ? Nightmare is just too cool for him.. I mean, people are like going to use his name on WoW, and then tell people " It means Nightmare in Greek man" and everyone will go " W0AH!!! ThAt 15 Aw350M3!!!! " " C00L!!" " L33t!" Whereas toilet bowl would be more like " What a piece of Ephialtes!"

People don't like the fact that he's a hunchback and therefore the villian - like making him evil cos he's hunched, and therefore not politically correct. Oh screw it. This is an ACTION show. The hell with political correctness!!! But still not exactly good for me. I hunch too. -.-



THERON aka Selfish politician and traitor to Sparta - but fictional







Yes, point to note, this character is a fictional enemy to Sparta in the movie, made because they needed a subplot to supplement the actual one. But still! An entertaining idiot to hate! I think. I only remember the part where he threatens the Queen into his submission, and tells her " This will not be over soon, and you will hate it.. I am not your king!" Later, when she stabs him in the stomach, she whispers back " This will not be over soon- you will hate it- for I am not your queen!" Lol.. so much sarcasm. But that's about all he's useful for.




OK! Now time to review the troops...



SPARTAN HOPLITES








Number : 300
Hit Points : 160
Weapon Type : Spear - melee damage 20, atk speed 1.80, bonus damage vs calvary
Armour : Mail helmet with cloak and round shield
Secondary Weapon : Sword - melee damage 12, atk speed 1.20
Ability : Phalanx - + 100% resistance to arrow damage

Most hoplites actually wear body armor, in addition to the standard cloaks and helmets that the Spartans wield, but not these madmen. As a result, they are faster but far less protected- which is no matter to these crazy folks. The phalanx was an actual formation for the hoplites in ancient Greece - it involved a tight interlocking of shields, preventing ranged fire from hurting them, and even melee weapons were easily deflected with good skill. Only problem is a huge reduction in advance speed, but that isn't much of an issue when the battle issues. Long spears were effective in dealing with mounted horsemen, and with keeping short range foot troops at bay, while the short swords were dealt out when the enemy closed in.



PERSIAN SLAVE TROOPS / SWORD FODDER









Number : Varied. Some say 10,000, others say more.
Hit Points : 70
Weapon Type : Short Swords - melee damage 7, atk speed 1.40
Armour : Cloth or leather
Ability : None
These men were basically fodder for the first wave. Historically, the first actual wave composed more of Medeans recruited by Xerxes for this war, as well as traitorous Greeks conscripted from the conquered lands. Not much of a fight, and they died pretty quickly even in real history.



PERSIAN ARCHER










Number : Again, varied - might be 10,000, 100, 000, or worse. Or less. Unsure.
Hit Points : 50
Weapon Type : Arrow - ranged damage 7, atk speed 2.00, range 500
Armour : Cloth or leather
Ability : None










The archers were, in practicality, not much use from the Persian foot troops either, simply because the hoplites' shields prevented their arrows from doing any damage. However, they were more cost-effective - they probably played a part in reducing the morale of the other Greeks, forcing them to rout in the final stand. They prevented the advance of the hoplites when they unleashed the hail of arrows to block out the sun. And most importantly, unlike Xerxes' other troops, they DID NOT DIE! Yes they did not! Not even in the final charge of the Spartans in the Battle of Thermopylae did one archer die- mostly because they were easily 2 or 3 km away from the battlefield, where the hoplites could not advance. And they killed plenty of Spartans when they finally surrounded them after Ephialtes' contribution. Nonetheless, not very exciting troops.







THE 10,000 IMMORTALS












Number : Exactly 10,000 on every campaign
Hit Points : 150
Weapon Type : Double swords - melee damage 10, atk speed 1.00
Armour : Plate mask with mail body armour
Ability : Fear - - 50% to enemy combat abilities when effective



The 10,000 Immortals were an actual regiment among the Persian forces, although personally, I first heard they were in the Hittites from my history text. Oh well.. at any rate, these are the true elite of the army they were conscripted in. From birth they were trained, and like the Spartans are given extreme combat conditioning before being accepted into service. They number at exactly 10,000 - no more , no less. They are the king's bodyguard , and as Xerxes is a "god-king", naturally, he would have Immortal guards at his side. While they are not really invincible, they are very well-skilled in combat to have their foes fear their prescence in battle, and should any fall, they are immediately replaced by others that are trained in the order but not yet used - thus they keep their numbers at the exact 10,000. Unfortunately for them, the Spartans decided to "put their hame to the test" instead of believing the myth, and thus proved them far less competent than thought. However, being more skilled, they did manage a few more kills, although still not enough.





Ok thats enough for now. There is more to come for the GLORY OF SPARTA!!!!

Bleach Part 2

This is the sequel to the first introduction of Bleach, where more important characters will be introduced. after Ichigo had his taste of battling Hollows in the human world, he and the rest of his faithful companions travelled to Soul Society, a place where much more dangers were faced, often resolved by hardcore fighting action. Soul Society is a place where the most deadly Death Gods are present, such are the Lieutenants, 2nd in rank to a particular squad, and the Captains, leader of the squad itself. there are a total of 13 squads altogether. here are some main starring characters:
Abarai Renji. Lieutenant of the 6th Division Squad. He is Rukia's childhood friend before enrolling as a Death God in Seireitei. He was placed in charge of bringing back Rukia from the human world and to exterminate Ichigo. This is because Soul Society finds it unacceptable to lend Death God powers to anyone in the human world without consent. Deep inside, Renji was frustrated when he knew Rukia was sentenced to execution for her crime, and blames it on Ichigo. When Ichigo arrived in Seireitei, Renji took the opportunity to settle scores with Ichigo and battles it out with him. Renji possesses the power of Zabimaru, which is the name of his flexible and deadly Zanpakutou (Soul Slayer Sword).


Shihouin Yoruichi. Former Head of the Correction Corps and 2nd Divison Squad. As swift and agile as she always been, Yoruichi was nicknamed as the "God Of Flash". Born into the noble Shihouin family, she is smart, sarcastic, and extremely confident. She does not hesitate to show off her impressive talents at the same time being well aware of her limitations.. She has mastered Flash Step, and is possibly the most talented practitioner in history. These combine to make her a lethal opponent easily capable of taking on a captain-class enemy, even without a Soul Slayer. Yoruichi also has the ability to transform herself into a black cat, which she uses to accompany Urahara in the mortal world.

Kira Izuru. Lieutenant of the 3rd Division Squad. A thin and somewhat neurotic individual, Kira is a good friend of fellow Lieutenants Hinamori and Renji. He seems a decent enough sort, but is also extremely loyal to his captain. This sometimes puts him in difficult positions, where he is forced to choose between loyalty to his captain and loyalty to his friends. During the fight against the Bounto, Kira played a part in infiltrating the Bounto territory, using his Zanpakutou with the ability to double the weight of any object his Zanpakutou cuts.


Matsumoto Rangiku. Lieutenant of the 10th Division Squad. Matsumoto is actually quite a capable and loyal Vice-Captain. She has a good relationship with her Captain, who, despite his seeming annoyance at her sleeping on the couch during working hours, holds great respect and even admiration for her. Besides having some history with Gin, she also accompanied her Captain to the mortal world to join forces with Ichigo in the fight against the Arrancar. Always proud of her assets, Matsumoto never fails to gain the attention of men, especially in Karakura Town.



Ichimaru Gin. Captain of the 3rd Division Squad. He was the very first Captain that Ichigo encountered on entry to Seireitei. His Zanpakutou, named as Shinsou, looks like an ordinary average sword on appearance. However, upon activation of its powers, it is able to shoot a missile-like beam on the latter. Gin used to be Aizen's Lieutenant in the past, and now has proven himself capable to hold the rank of a Captain. Still, Gin holds loyalty to Aizen and being sly and cunning as he is, Gin seems to have other motives than leadings his squad to uphold the laws of Soul Society.



Hitsugaya Toushiro. Captain of the 10th Division Squad. Perhaps the youngest of all the Captains, or even all of Seireitei. With silver hair and a gullible look, Hitsugaya is but a boy genius who made it this far at such an age. He is known as a prodigy in studying shinigami arts, and he is capable of unleashing vast destructive powers of ice. Despite his youth, Hitsugaya is one of the more mature captains, level-headed and perceptive, if a bit lacking in the humour department. Aware of the many strange occurances in Soul Society, Hitsugaya, together with his Lieutenant Matsumoto, revolves around searching out the source of the problems, also lending support against the Bounto and the Arrancar.

Soi Fong. Captain of the 2nd Division Squad, Commander of Covert Operations and Executive Militia. A rather swift fighting Captain, with abilities that can match that of Yoruichi. She is from a lower noble that served the great Shihounin family, and became a comrade of Yoruichi at a young age. In combat, Soi Fong wields Suzumebachi, one of the more unique Zanpakutou, which normally inflicts poison-like attacks. She was also one who defends Seireitei faithfully against the Bounto, and apparently took on one of them by herself.


Zaraki Kenpachi. Captain of the 11th Division Squad. Zaraki seldom adhere to the roles of a Captain. Instead, he who fights for a living, cannot find fun in any other activity except fighting someone who can match his abilities. So far, there is no one able to meet his standards until he met Ichigo, who he saw a vast potential in, and is eager to battle Ichigo so as to satisfy his bloodthirst. Zaraki has such enormous spirit power, that he had to resort to several measures to prevent his spirit powers from overflowing and causing unnecessary damage to anyone or anything. Apart from that, Zaraki does not know his Zanpakutou powers as he only needs to fight with his body spirit powers, yet able to overpower almost anyone.

Aizen Sousuke. Captain of the 5th Division Squad. A rather unassuming individual, but one with great depth. Sousuke is a brilliant thinker and fighter and is respected among the shinigami for his chivalrous demeanour. He acts gently towards his subordinates, particularly Hinamori, his Lieutenant. He recognizes the respect she has for him, and plays along with her hero-worshipping. His Zanpakutou is the devious Kyouka Suigetsu, able to create deception. His outer looks often convince others of his gentleman behaviour, yet it is never too safe to completely trust him.


Kuchiki Byakuya. Captain of the 6th Divison Squad. Born into the noble Kuchiki family and now the head of the family, Byakuya is also Rukia's adoptive brother. He is perpetually cool and collected, appearing emotionless almost all of the time, never seen to either smile or lose his temper. Although Rukia claimed before that Byakuya had never shown her the love of a brother, Byakuya had not commented on it as he often keeps his cards close to his chest. However, later on Byakuya did protect Rukia and even got himself injured. His weapon is the deadly Senbon Zakura, which he wields with suitable elegance to dispatch his foes. His battle abilities are tactical and with his intelligent strategies, Byakuya is often victorious over his opponents hands down.




This is all on the 2nd part of Bleach. More characters to be introduced in the future. Be sure to watch it on www.youtube.com as stated in the earlier Bleach post. =) Thank you!

Sadness

Looks like I can't go back this summer session. My mother can't book seats with the free tix that my sister has because its all fully-booked. Then she asked me if I would like to purchase tickets with my savings, but unfortunately, I've got not much money of my own. It costs $1477 USD for a round trip ticket.

Thats too bad for me anyway...

Well...u guys have fun anyway in Singapore! Remember to post pics on the blog!

1-0

Villians gunned down, with little Flamemini

It was a glorious night for Arsenal, playing without many key players such as Henry, Adebayor, Hleb, Toure and Van Persie, however, they managed to squeeze out a narrow 1-0 win.

A tense match it was, with Arsenal only having a slightly better advantage of 53% possesion, however, it was Aston Villa that dominated the chances, but on a night where luck deserted them, they simply could not convert. On top of that they had 14 offsides, the chief offender of these, John Carew.

Playing badly the whole evening, it could be seen on the face of the frustrated Wenger and his make shift defence pairing of Gilberto and Gallas were often caught in unfamiliar territory, giving Aston Villa much space to exploit. However, the goal came just after kick off, by some luck , Baptista was clear at the edge of the box, in which he sent a poor shot which was heading wide, however, Diaby happened to be at the right place at the right time and deflect it goalwards.

Aston Villa then pilled on the pressure and had numerous chances, 1v1s, goal line clearences, penalty box scramble, you name it , they got it!.

Then, Arsene Wenger sent on Missier Flamini for about 15 mins, and he was simply off form! The one Arsenal player i feel isn't good enough is him. At one instance, he tried to be smart and dribble but eventually lost the ball which lead to a shot by Carew which went narrowling wide. Another instance, where he could just send the ball to the corner flag to waste about 1 min of the remaining injury time, instead he was caught in 2 minds, running to the corner flag and then crossing the ball after only like 2 secs!. In which nobody was in the penalty box!. In another instance, Fabregas layed the ball nicely for Flamini , who was through, but he didn't run!, instead he shouted to Fabregas which i guess was " why didn't you shoot?" In the first place he was suppose to be a defensive midfielder, i don't know what he was doing out of position when we had a 1 goal lead to hold.

Yes, its time to Flame Flamini! . Every time he comes on , its like adding vulnerability to Arsenal!.

Anyway, we still won 1-0!
Glory to Arsenal, Premier league here champions here we come!

Regards
DaN with a DestinY

Chalet response From Kerry

Hey guys!

Got some bad news, and some good news. First thing, bad news is that for the promotion tickets, I realised that for the promotion, it says that I can only travel for 30days, either that, or by 12June must come back, whichever is earlier. So not very worth it, come back Singapore for so short time only. Then, my mom is unable to get the tickets too cuz all fully-booked liaoz.

Good news. Maybe I can use my sister's free air tix which she got through her mileage points. Cuz I think my mom said that she does not want to go back to singapore. Then maybe give her some money to travel around Usa, while I go back home during may to june. Sounds good? Have to compromise with her 1st, then if she agrees, gotta book a ticket back to Singapore! If this is the case, I will be back in Singapore for like 7 weeks, which is super shiok for me, only going back at the end of june.

Anyway, to the person who posted before me, I have to confirm the air tickets first, but then, the offer is only available from Sundays to Thursdays, in the month of May. It is indeed a good deal. And please sign off at the end of the post...thanks!

Next, funding,i think my mother can get a discount, but lets stick with the $108 for 3D/2N first. That means if 10 of us are going, its $10 per person.

Once we are fixed on the date, i will check the avaliability again.

On another hand, my geography society is organising a trip to TAIWAN during mid July TBC, more details will be released soon , are you all interested?, it will surely be cheaper, but we have to follow where they go .. or rather we go ourselves? , hmm..

Lets settle this first before we get to the food details. Cant wait cant wait!, i've been so stressed over assignments, this is my avenue to release it. Think of what's gonna happen after the semester!

Arsenal

My favourite team is once again in action this week.
Yes , ARSENAL, watch this space. Even though we have many injuries, Arsene Wenger has instilled a spirit of warriors that never give up, and has addressed to need to go all the way in the premier league as the only chance of getting a medal.

My prediction is 3-0

Watch this space!

Bleach

Bleach is the title of a very good series of anime to watch. For those who have watched it, will agree with me and those who haven't, i strongly recommend u to watch =)! I will post some of the brief details of the anime here..hehe

Kurosaki Ichigo. He is the main character of the show who lives in a Karakura Town and possessing an infinite amount of spirit power, which at first, was hidden and unnoticed by himself. He serves as a Death God substitute and slowly unleashes his potential as he braved more dangers and battles. A mere young student who is kind at heart and lives up to his principles. The challenges ahead may not be as easy from the start, but his heart of pure and gold will take him as far as many others who would not have been able to achieve.

Kuchiki Rukia. The first Death God who Ichigo had met and then became Ichigo's closest companion at heart. After having transferred her powers to Ichigo, she remained in a gigai as a normal human. She was the one who taught Ichigo many things about Soul Society and the Death God customs, while on the other hand, learnt many interesting human traits while in her body form in the mortal world. She is the only one who understands Ichigo the most, and proves to be a very important support for Ichigo's striving battles and the hardships they face together.

Innoue Orihime. One of Ichigo's classmates who has a very big crush on him, but is afraid to act on it. She lost her brother in a car accident many years ago, and he came back as a hollow to eat her soul. After being in contact with Ichigo's shinigami form, her spiritual power was awakened. Innoue's powers involves the use of pixies to form protective shields and healing powers that rejuvenates the dying back to their original state. She also has an offensive ability which can slice opponents at dire speed. Her abilities give her the confidence to travel with Ichigo through the dangers in Soul Society.
Sado Yasutora. Also nicknamed as "Chad". He is as young as Ichigo but has a huge hulk looking body. Before his spiritual powers were tapped, Sado seems to be incredibly strong who does not seem to get easily injured even after being knocked by a vehicle. The threat of Hollows awakened Sado's powers of having a weird-looking right arm which is capable of dishing out overwhelming blows. Seeing that his right arm holds such power, Sado uses it to battle alongside Ichigo against the onslaught of the Hollows.

Ishida Uryuu. He belongs to a group known as the Quincy. The Quincy's objective is in a way similiar to Death Gods, seeking Hollows and purging them from the human world. The only difference is that while Death Gods purify Hollows so that the Hollow will return to Soul Society as a normal soul, the Quincy destroys the Hollows completely. Such will cause the upset in the balance of souls in Soul Society and the human world. Due to this fact, a conflict arose in the past and the Quincy were wiped out. Ishida, being the last Quincy, had to abandon his old grudges against the Death Gods if he were to save the world from Hollows.

Urahara Kisuke. This is the manager of the Uraha shop, who has an unshaven face and wears a beach hat most of the time. He cares alot about the reputation of the shop and tries his best to provide his costomers with the products that they want. When he realizes the mistake he made in giving Rukia a mod soul, he descides he will fix the problem himself. When Ichigo lost his 'borrowed' Death God powers from Rukia, Urahara seems to have shown that he himself possess some sort of Death God powers, but that will remain as a mystery till the later parts.




This is the brief introduction of Bleach..hope u like it..be sure to
watch them either on www.youtube.com (search Bleach Episode XX where XX is the episode number) or download them from anime websites.
