Farewell Winter Midnight Madness

2009-03-05T03:44:00.006+08:00

HAHA snowboarding again! with one of my classmates and his bunch of cliques, the conditions of the slopes are quite sad that day, we signed up for the Midnight madness lift ticket, i guess we are mad. Slopes all ice .... which is a biT55 and a 1/2 to control our direction and the ice is so hard that we could not even dig into the "snow" so its like braking a 3 tonner with your ... face. One of our friends actually fell on the black diamond, and slid down almost all the way on his butt, while observing several unfortunate ones doing the same thing. You just could not dig into the snow... so its almost impossible to stand up. I actually saw a skier roll down a slope full of muguls for like 50 meters... all ice .. he kind of survived i guess.

Dispite all the misfortunes, the sunset was really brilliant for like 10 mins...!
One of the worst days to go snowboarding, the slopes are all ice.... all ice ... and a few patches of exposed ground. Some of my friends are quite pro at this and they are afraid to go on the black diamond run today. So we pretty much stayed clear of trouble and hung around the green circles and blue square trails... well the greens circles are pretty nice at this place.... long and windy, unlike the black and blue trails, which are just boring straight slopes. The place has a hilarious name too, "Crotched Mountains" .... and the people working there wore ridiculous shirts with huge letters "Crotched Crew" printed on them. HAHAHA!!!

Niew Ear!

2009-01-01T19:39:00.008+08:00

Ok! I lied ... Did not really do much on New Year's day.. was too tired to do anything after the trip from New Jersy. The bus ride with Rods and Yuya to New York is already 4 hours and probably developed piles after sitting on the super uncomfortable chair .. BUT! decided to look like an idiot and brought my "megalo" body sized pillow with me .... something to hug during the journey... NOTICE ANYTHING ABOUT MY HAIR??? YES!!! THE GINGER IS BACK!!!!

Reached NYC in the late afternoon and the whole damn city is just packed with people .... big mistake no.1 I bought my luggage with me. I somehow tripped more than 10 people who decided to walk with their eyes closed and following the nearest person infront .. f**ing sheeple... i even got separated from my friends because of human traffic ... seriously did not enjoy the walk in NYC. Did not take any pictures due to reasons above .

.... after that we took a train to NJ... met up with lauren's childhood friends and strangely enough her 21st birthday surprise for us is mini golf... we were playing golf in the dark room lit with black light... damn fun .... several times where i putted the ball towards the hole, it mysteriously veerd offcourse on the last few inches to the hole ... dammit! stupid AIR VENTS! MOST AWESOME OF ALL is the money u need to pay for a game ... it costs about $7 per head... i handed them a $100 note and got some loose change, a $50 dollar bill and 4x $20 dollar bills ... DO THE MATH GUYS!!! Treated the peeps to a drink at a nearby diner. Died on one of the couches when i reach lauren's home.
Now who says NJ is a wasteland and a butt of all jokes of americans.... its pretty!!! Thanks for showing us arnd NJ ! Sarah ... more pics can be found on facebook prolly a day or two ... when i decide to upload those pictures... due to some stupid reasons, and "classified information" XD. We even saw a deer crossing the road the previous night... NJ roads are lined with forests and little to no street lamps, u can see a sea of stars at night.... most of all, bendy roads , every road is like the 99 bends.
Got a treat from Lauren's parents for her 21st, went to a Japanese .... cannot remember what this kind of cooking is called, the chef is a clown... from shooting pieces of cucumbers into our mouths and squirting sake into people's mouth (above).... and channeling amazing fire elemental spells (below)
Really enjoyed the dinner.... best friends (below)
Headed back to her home and ... oh ya forgot to mention .... surprise all the way from China ... Octavio is back !!! Look at him ... jet lag written all over his face... (classified information)... she got a Reeses chocolate cake... the chocolate fudge.. icing is 1cm thick and was horrible (agreed by everybody)... played some drinking and card games in the living room ... kinda died after that...
Back to NYC on the 31st... opposite the bus terminal was a DVD shop.... more like a DVD porn shop... kinda creative huh the above titles? "naked scene on trampoline.... i guess octavio loves "Latin Limbo Party" coz he is pointing to it ;p

Cooking Lesson No 1

2008-12-29T15:34:00.005+08:00

Having eaten those delicious tonkatsu ... i decided to make some of my own for Lauren's 21st .. yeah i am going to New Jersey tml with Rods and Yuya .... so making my own special tonkatsu ... "how hard can it be?" <--- Jeremy Clarkson
Master chef sio wakes up at 3am in the morning ... preparing the ingredients XD .. stole the recipe from some jedi website (i am serious) ... and this one also ... http://www.recipezaar.com/Tonkatsu-Japanese-Pork-Cutlet-131093 (pic was quek on msn)
I will update the text ... hopefully .. coz i have a bus to catch and friends to meet soon ... bought some pork and removed all the fats .... everybody hate fats .... yea seasoning ... cannot find pepper ... so i used paprika instead should be good ... at least its not poisonous for what i know
Frying in hot oil .... still need some skill in temperature control ... some of the pork fritters came out okay ... but others too white ... i dunno why .... i wish some one would come out with an idea of frying with air instead of oil ... so messy ...

http://www.thegreenhead.com/2007/10/char-broil-big-easy-oilless-infrared-turkey-fryer.php <--- oilless fryer ... CHECK OUT THE BOOZE BELT ... MAKES U LOOK LIKE A RIDICULOUS DRUNK TERRORIST !! WARM BEER ANYONE???
Oh well i guess it turns out fine !! never got to blow things up ... just like electronics lab ... tastes awesome ... just that its abit the oily .... HOW man ... HOW??? And another problem that i overlooked is the fritters that sink to the bottom, i removed the "floaters" but never thought of the "sinkers". Black stuff gets on to the cutlet -.-... tried my best...

After the cooking session i was shocked that i have to "dredge" the muck from the bottom of the oil ... Promise from the Great Chef Sio .. i will update more after i come back from New Jersey...

Difficulty rating : ***
Not so difficult after you get the hang of things ... just that the cleaning up is a pain in the ass.. needs some more practice to get the hang of things and ... to cook the soul out of the food ... *****

Yea ! Boston was owned in 3 days of snow ! Doesn't mean that i am going to be in sloth mode! Well... i went wachusett mountain instead for more snow... Took me like a day of recovery mode before i decided to use the best text editor i have.... yes my MS office is down; BLOGGER!Pic from Friday morning around 7 am ... the cars are all sn-owned a feet of snow and probably and hopefully get stuck when the snow cakes up and i will enjoy and smile the driver's misery trying to thaw their car ... or even open the door of their car.. so pwned.Walking towards our train station was hard enough... the whole city was snow... its really hard to discribe ...Well we decided to go snowboarding! my 2nd time doing it .. probably not going to break some bones because of my slow speed.
Photowhoring in the Commuter rail system. Took us like an hour and a half to get there
Photowhoring and making silly faces in the shuttle bus from train terminal to mountain.
Wasnt that crowded when we reached the mountain.. and best thing of all, we got the tix for free, printed from the internet when we signed up for something, but however me and yuya need to rent my snowboard and his skis from the shop -.- luckily we are early, and its the first big snow of the season, therefore the snowboots are kinda 'virgin' = no smell xD.Oh yea this pic was taken during our second time going up the mountain on the ski lift.. notice the neck warmer i bought? The temperature was crazyily low that day my face almost died when i decended the mountain the first time. The neckwarmer definately protected my face from the windchill, but it caused another problem, now my breath was directed onto my glasses and it condenses and freeze... dammit i could not see a single thing when i decended the mountain the second time.. and the ski shop does not have any 'over the glasses' goggles , if not i would have gotten one. FOR LIVE FOOTAGE GO FACEBOOK...GOT VIDS!!!!! of me doing stunts! (falls)Just Chillin on a "summer" chair with snow.Tristan scraping ice out of my board on my 2nd or 3rd run... i could not really remember... it had so much friction that i could not even go down a slope, it was his first time seeing this kind of situation.... wonder where the ice came from?Well i pass myself off as a novice on the 2nd time ;p

Heng did this... and i decided to follow... others pls follw me ;p

2008-10-22T04:26:00.009+08:00

Quiz 1 :

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

"... so the computer thinks this is what i think about myself.... since when computers know how to do that....... hmmmm have u ever thought of how many problems u had caused rather than u had solved... double think double think...."

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

"Never loved to read"

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

"have i?"

The seriousness of your love:

You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

"sub-conscious i guess"

Your views on education

Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.

"i guess deeper inside i hunger for more knowledge"

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

"born in a world of systematic chaos... i would be a genius to be able to choose...therefore i "do" things"

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

"then again... u got to look at what u have..."

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.

"saying i am a leech.... and i need to be vegan"

Who is your true self:

You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

"I guess it is the result of me choosing a beautiful stone castle ... and walked away as if i am not interested... computer's answer totally conflicted from what the computer thought i would think about myself (refer to first answer) ... or......"

Test 2:
Psychological Test

Here is the analysis:

You have a complicated personality.
How ambitious you are depends on the height that you answered, which is: cliff.
You are stubborn, the size of this personality as seen by others is small.
Glass means fragile personality.
You are also down-to-earth.
You are an opportunist.
Your husband or wife is the one you need when you are in trouble.

(Sio: that was convenient... ... wth ... u said which "part" of the mountain u want to be at...cliff... ...... then again ... i think i know what it meant)

Test 3
How attractive are you?
(Sio: ooooooo)

Not Bad

You are not much attractive to the opposite sex. However, you still have something so special, which makes them like to get along with you.

You are an honest person and have a unique way of seeing things. Your friends see you as a quite friendly person.

(Sio: wth .... i would like to go paris..... d u think ur intelligent.. no ... d u have a sense of humor.. no... d ya think ye intelligent (again) ... no .... be born again as a female ... boom here comes the results)

Got an hour and a half to spare today ... so free .. no midterms ... no hw finally ... HOO! this is where sio's spare time goes to die... oh well ah heng did the quiz and i decided to follow his footsteps.... i would like to say the test results are .... i also dunno whether its true.... probably u feed me 1 liter of beer .... with more beer ... sausages .... and chips (with cheese).... for the rest of my life... it will probably come true i guess...

Oh well.... try doing this test on behalf of someone you know i guess... lets say Ah Heng.... and compare each other's results to see whether they are the same.... fun ...*grin*

Sigh stupid paper....

2008-10-05T12:51:00.007+08:00

Sigh woke up at 9 am in the morning and started writing a cock paper... imagine you are working for "SAVEME BANK" and you are supposed to analyze a proposal from a company who needs approximately $100,000 of loan.

Gotta find out what are the strengths and weakness of the company, where Mr Roberts will put the proceeds of the requested loan, and does he need the loan to accomplish his objectives. Should SAVEME BANK give Mr Robert his loan.... and give Robert advice on his business strategy...

just the 2 1/2 week of class... and i am 1/2 an engineer .... 0.1/100 a business student ... cocks... brain grinds down to a halt and soldiers in my stomach started getting trigger happy. They demand some spicy Asian stuff ... oh god... called Qin and guess what ... "meet us at Ell Hall for an ISSI (some international student group) outing for dim sum"... i suddenly see light at the end of the tunnel.... off i go to china town lol.

The meeting was kinda intimidating ... one guy ... and a room full of girls... like 10 of them... eventually a couple of guys joined us at the table... oh gosh... being an engineer sux!... sausage fest every day.... oh yea... the girl 2nd from the right of the pic ... Yanny ... wore like super short shorts over stockings ... high heels summore ... how do they say "Hanna Ji Bu?" ... Her reason being her last time wearing so little for the season... come on... its already mid fall.. its like sub 15 degrees out there... crazy girl... (hope she doent read this ;p) .. and went shopping after the meal met Pin ... oh well some people just dosnt seem to grow up ....

Stunned for the moment ... but i am cool with it

Drawn using MS paint.... a little insight...

Mold ...

2008-09-13T00:09:00.006+08:00

Quite sian ... come to USA and i caught a cold or cough ... i can say both ... flu ? .. running a slight temperature which caused me to waste my whole morning away.... lucky thing is lab is cancelled today which makes Friday pretty much slothable... Not to forget today is also Rodney's birthday ... beer?... Yes! Sam Adams hefe! unfiltered wheat beer that is!

Oh yea Lauren went to Japan for a little exchange trip during the summer holidays and guess what she bought for me^^ ? Yeah MOLD! Thats what she said ... looked like some green fur balls in water i guess... Doesn't really look like mold; looks like some MOSS!!! But I must say i believe and admire those whacky Japanese and their whacky ideas on random objects like keychains to .... fugly production cars.

Oh yea this picture is ripped off some one's facebook album... Its the same thing though... see the green balls? yes! Mold!... Must be some anaerobic strain... I kano reado Japanesu ... but clearly its from hokkaido and.... Wong i guess u can throw away your moss in your planted tank and replace it with mold... and stop brewing carbon dioxide that makes your house smell like a brauhouse.

Back with a Pink Guitar

2008-09-04T16:33:00.014+08:00

Back from being a Sloth for a few months... blog quite mouldy i guess. Oh well its time to introduce u pple to my new Axe! Basically i bought a Dimarzio Twang King for quite some time already, during the Swee Lee sale .... 60 bucks quite ok lar ....

The guitar was a Made in China J&D crap $175 brought from Luthermusic eons ago.... however its body made of Ash and the neck feels just AWESOME, solid and abit wide, sanded finish as smooth as a pool cue... a few reasons why I decided to invest some dough in another pickup... the PAF Joe .... it is Joe Satriani's Neck pickup... but i installed in on the bridge position; thus sacrificing some of the power and sustain (alot) of the beast. Result: Super clean sound... can play like Blues, Pop, Jazz... Alt rock??

I managed to split the bumbucker as well resulting in a sound similar to the Strat... but more like a Tele i guess.... Hybrid ba....Stratelecaster XD... but the last two B and E strings sounds rather weak, who cares anyway, other selections are enough to cut through most musical situations i guess; Metal.... Hard rock .... is a NONO. I will buy another guitar for this kind of situation.

Why pink .... 1st reason... The original UNATURAL woodfinish with FUGLY ARTIFICALLY PAINTED GRAINS and turtle shell pickguard is just freaking hideous i just couldnt stand the sight of that abomination. Sorry i would not want to ruin my camera by taking a photo of the guitar before it was "refurbished".

Oh well i may even consider upgrading "pinky" even more... added a hole for a kill switch but its kinda unnecessary and pointless for the power out put of this baby... i guess i will enlarge the hole of the guitar for a 3 way switch, similar to a Gibson's for the installation of a Piezo pickup... i dunno how it is gonna sound on a solid body guitar but its worth a try.... i guess i will install it next semester after i get some dough from co-op, hope shops are willing to let me try the sounds of the piezo.... AH yes like a Parker fly deluxe... but flys are made of spruce -.- dunno whats the acoustic property of "pinky".

Oh ya i pencilled some floral patterns on "pinky" (SEE TOP) i think i made it more hideious than before...

Any suggestions my artistic friends?

If u wan the wiring diagrams, component details you could PM me in MSN ... tech details of pickups in Dimarzio webbie....

Q: Why not black or blue or silverburst... but pink?
A: Why so serious?

What a way to die...

2008-05-07T10:43:00.002+08:00

Ok ok so i am back.... went to the Six Ave prata shop with Mat. Oh man this stall serves the best murtabak i have ever tasted, however we ordered the biriyani instead ... the fella say no murtabak till 3pm ... wad the hell ... what kinda time is 3pm.... which is after lunch somewhere before dinner .... no wonder these guys never made it big -.-... oh well the murtabak got good reviews from James ... Wong and guys.... so try it if you come over to Sio's.

Oh well so we ordered the biriyani and one teh peng from the drinkstall auntie. The teh peng came just after our biriyani was served and when i was paying the auntie, i spotted a fly hovering above my curry.. i was like "oh crud..."den the drink stall auntie made a yell as if singapore score a goal in the world cup..."goal" ... NNB.. the bladdy bugger landed right in my curry. The potent curry snuffed out its little life like a candle in the wind ... 1 or 2 second only, the poor thing ki chia le.

Oh well ... what a way to die, surrounded by things you love, dying in something that u craved for. Oh well i just got another bowl of curry, this time i gonna protect it with my life ... ** precious **

step 3 - sliced the whole fish in half leaving the bones in1.5 seconds
step 4 - hack the skull of the fish into 2... exact symmetry...
step 5 - display!... with the fish's heart still throbbing in the meat...
step 6 - picks up a leatherback turtle... "kill this one?" in cantonese
step 7 - sio walks away...

Yeah baby first meal in Boston! Went Osushi for dinner; guess what, my aunt knows one of the sushi chefs there! Got kobe beef as a complementary dish ^^ omg he was searing the thin slices of beef with a "blow torch" look-alike thingy, making it cooked on the outside, slightly raw in the middle. I do not have the chance to take the pic of the beef ... it went too fast into our tummy. *shiok* the chef "Jason" also seared some toro "fatty tuna" if i not wrong.... shiok .... went straight down our belly... Next time you guys wanna go sushi, look at the plate above... check out the yellow thing wrapped in seaweed, next to the maguro "tuna". That is my favourite, sea urchin... dont know why my cousin hates it... bern seemed not to like it too, because of the fishy smell... but personally i think the creaminess and the melt-in-ya-mouth feeling is just simply AWESOME!

Gathered in Lauren's room are my friends, chilling around watching friends... one of my roomies... the guys on the floor, his gf on the blue couch... tako smiling and rodney on the extreme right... looks like the guy from Hair Spray rite?

House in the middle of the street? Not... just some ordinary ikea advertisement...

So many gigs these few days... from powerjam 2007 (zouk) to the three days of BayBeats 2007 to some crazy goth metal gig yesterday at DXO... We were sad to say, some crazy fellas going against the tide of people leaving the NDP yesterday for the gig at DXO. noneless we reached la haha... machiam like salmon swimming upstream... feel like a salmon after all the squeeze also haha...

We managed to catch a glimpse of the fireworks display while cruising at 15km/h at Raffles area; totally awesome... well worth the GST we paying.

Well lets get to the topic XD! Bad examples from a certain frontman....

1) Choice of beverage

Fans :"HEY! DRINK YOUR BEER!"
Frontman: "I'll Drink my beer later!" (gothic growling tone)
Sio :"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

Comments : A goth metal frontman spotting a "sak ki" trench coat... BUT .... grabbing a mug of TIGER beer on stage... Big NONO... try a bling bling flask of whiskey/water. If you are a blues/hardrock band.... shout "Lim AR!" "Bo ta bo lam par!" down the pint and finish it with a "AHHHHHHHHH~"

2)Talking to your band members on the P.A

Frontman:"I think our drummer is ready huh!" (gothic growling tone)
Drummer:"CRAAAASH!"
Frontman:"I take it as a yes!" (gothic growling tone)
Sio:" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Comment : Who fukking cares of your little trained monkey behind the drums, ur the MASTER! he is never worth a second of your time. Whip him, Snare at him! Or at least show some annoyance...eeh friend... your band is playing GOTH METAL.... not jazz

3)Saying too much...

Frontman:"Argh FxxK!....." (gothic growling tone)
Fans:"..."
Frontman:"FxxK!...." (gothic growling tone)
Fans:"..."
Frontman:"Argh i forgot what to say!" (gothic growling tone)
Sio:" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Comment : No comment...

4) Dedicating songs -.-

Comment : ... do all local bands have to dedicate every single song to their mom, dad, gf, bf etc etc.. for the ...inspiration... crap ...... before you play the damn song? We are not interested in Singapore history for all i care, what makes you think we are interested in yours? Say your prayers and mushy stuff personally to your love ones in private more meaningful rite?
(applys to non-emo bands)

If you have a song called "Axe" ... cut the cheese and scream "AAAAAAAAXEEEEE!!!!" start the song.... or end it nicely just by sayin the title of the song...

CONCLUSION~

Not bad not bad... lots of moshing, pushing around and headbanging... most of all...cheers me up and put a smile on my face ;-)

Well the highlight of the night is most importantly the awesome sausages! I think next time bbq must buy more sausages ar... less people ... and more maybe a beer fountain~

Wj "penging" the sausages while barry watched on...

James: "No more GMP ! I am contented with sausages already!"

It seems to be true that Pin do stupid stuff when she gets drunk....high...

Wong: "EEARGH!!! THIS IS NOT BEER!!!!"

Okay... Campari... bad... perfect punishment drink for a game of "zhong ji mi ma". Taste like medicine... no idea what we should mix it with. It just tastes bad.. baaaaad.

Estimated next bbq ... on National day.... hope those airforce pple would kindly do some cloud seeding for us. This will be a small scale bbq ... pure meat ... good german beer... most likely not at my house XD~~

2007-04-15T15:21:00.000+08:00

Yeah... took a walk down to Porter Square today, somewhere real close to Harvard... Ordered our favourite Ramen and walked to a nearby park to enjoy.... after that pass by Harvard... guess who we saw..... Natalie Portman!!!! First hollywood star i saw since the day i arrived at USA! Cannot really tell its her till the spontanous confirmation from our bunch! haha the 4 Jap chicks damn cute machiam like Telephatic; they all "Ehhhhhhhhhhh?!??!!?!?!" at the same time lolx.. According to my theory, i think Japanese girls all have a microchip embedded in their heads where they could be controlled by a central processing unit which keeps them in sync for the spontaneous "Ehhhhhhhhhhhh?!?!?!?!" damn cute LOL.... one way to tell who is a Chinese or a Japanese, somewhat proven by a roadside artist...

Pics must wait for Erin to upload haha!!

First Bdae in Boston

2007-04-13T14:03:00.000+08:00

I know i shouldnt be up so late at night.... But Shippuden 8-9 is definately worth the wait.. Anywae i only got one class tomorrow so.. okok la! Start to blog le ^^... havent been touching the guitar much lately... feel so guilty, well there is too much work... Physics lab report is a nightmare, error propagation everywhere, to do things efficiently i decided to program the bloody excel spread sheet... Every variable and derieved values also got error sian 1/2.... 1.5k essay on reality... hell yeah!!! i got an A for writing ^^.... I was like @#$ this... threw everything into the back of my head and..... partie!!

Top: Octavio, Lauren, Rodney, Kentai, Tris
Bottom: Emma , Reverend Sio, Yuhei
Photograph by: Monkey

Ah of course la.... the lust for authentic asian food is etched into my core ever since the very first day. Ordered a Roast chicken, some 'cow' soup, kung bao 'pig' pieces, dou miao, ma po tofu.... and wala! Oysters!! lalala~~ oysters ! ~~~ OySTErS~! .... song till jaw drop, buddha for a day!
OY ~~ OY ~~ OY~~~ OISHHIIIII~

These oysters are HUGE around 10 inch length!!! cooked in light sauce; ultimate aphrodisiac....

Makes me miss local food even more... The friendly neighborhood prata seller... BAK CHOR MEE~! ... anybody who oppose to the idea of bak chor mee being the greatest noodle ever made deserved to be "Torqued"! Anybody who feeds me pizza when i go back Singapore deserved to be "Torqued" too... Jeremy Clarkson says american loves cheese .... 100% true.... hell yeah...

The kung bao 'pig' strips is kinda americanized ... i did not really expect to see a plate full of pork and ... peas... stupid peas..... not spicy at all even it was labled "shi chuan"... wonder where all the dried chilli went... mannnn... miss those days spent with buddies at Quek's Chicken rice stall's 'secret' sweet and sour pork. Its funny looking at Tris struggling to eat chicken... being unable to isolate the chicken bones puts him at a disadvantaged position, aka no chicken for him... Americans love chicken breast.... 100% true ... hell yeah.... keyword is not "love" its "need"...

Whats a party without dancing? Hell yeah ... DDR ... Some of us left for Kentai's place after that.... Kentai.... hentai incarnate... He got like comics of .... doujinshi? i dunno whats that but its apparantly .... hentai... he got quite a few of them...got D-gray man... Naruto ... and quite a few i cannot remember... reminds me of Matthew's comics; wrapped nicely in plastic bags... Precioussssss!

Not to forget ... he got a crate of dvds also... Tentacle stuff ... got gay and les hentai also... shucks ... apprantly he does some editing role in some fan-subbing group... he is pretty open about it ... u can see his "stuff" lying everwhere in the room unhidden, exposed, hanged on celings ... around the desk... one kewl dude he is.
LETS PLAY SPOT THE HENTAI!!!

Oh yeah got one dvd called "Body Transfer" .... written behind is the plot ---> a magic field forms around a school, students unable to leave, and given the power to feel each other's sexual bliss and switch bodies upon orgasm. When will happen when Kenichi and all the girls are able to feel the pleasure of both genders at the same time? Hellova Big question mark.... and a comment .... "you know u want it..." so hilarious!
Blue Vs Red

Finally we decided to take the last train back from the Kingdom of Kentai....On the last train back, lots of delays and stuff... pissing took us almost an hour. And we did pretty random stuff on the train. Show u guys the photos online when i get back... Too many le... Too many photos le...

Something to clear the dust ..

Crime Log Entry of the Week

2.3o am Sat Apr 7

Officers were investigating a car collision on the corner of Huntington Ave and Gainsborough Street when a 19 year old male student approached them. The student was visibly intoxicated and demanded to know what was going on. He walked into the middle of Huntington Ave and an officer told the student to get out of the street before a car hit him. The student began swearing profusely, exclaiming that he was a citizen of Boston and had the right to know what was going on. He also claimed to be from THE NEWS and he said he wanted a quote for a story. Still in the middle of Huntington Ave, he continued to scream obscenities at the officers. An officer warned him to stop or he would be arrested. The student's friends grabbed him and dragged him away. Before he left, he lifted a bag of trash out of a wastebasket and threw it in the street. NUPD indentified the student and he will be reported to OSCCR

"I swear to drunk I'm not god!"

Boston weather

2007-03-17T12:21:00.000+08:00

They say if u dont like weather in boston? just wait a minute.... well i dont really find it true somehow. Seems very true in the case of singapore though. Imagine u r shopping happily on a sunny day in Orchard den suddenly.... i mean suddenly u hear thunder, within like 15 minutes u find yourself stuck in the middle of a thunderstorm... well its only just rain or shine in Singapore for what i cared.

Hmmz well what i can say about boston weather is just like rojak..... yesterday was like 17 degrees, nice comfortable 17 degrees, and today subzero .... plus a snowstorm. Weather does not change within minutes here, it changes within a day. Yesterday may be calm and today the weather PMS... stuck in my dorm again hiding myself from the "post snow" freezing rain/ sleet. Pierces the eyes when i walk around, and it gets into your jacket and slowly melts... PISSING.... not to say it forms a wicked slush after it becames a "regular" rain, making crossing streets almost impossible... AND after a few days the sleet&snow buildups becomes a cake of ice... see several pple fall victims to it already ... i like....

Snow !!!

2007-03-10T00:44:00.000+08:00

WALA long awaited episode ... yup i went snowboarding last weekend... first time in my life, thanks alot to Tris and his parents for bringing us there. Should be going down to the peaks over in massachusetts this weekend ba .... so wish i dont die young ;P...

<-----Oh man this is the picture taken just outside Tris' house...yuhei (japanese) , sio (singaporean), tris(american)... his front yard to be exact, the suburbs of New York ... the houses there are all practically lidat. Well dont really have the pictures of some of the trees in the mountains we saw on the way... well car movin too fast so cannot really take a picture of the trees that are ENCASED in ice. such a B - E - A - U - tiful sight. We arrived in the night before and this pic is taken just before we leave for Greek Peak, the place we snowboarded and the place where i lost my entire bag... dunno which idiot took it -.-

Haha spent the whole night playing super smash bros and harrassing Tris' cat ... apprently a shemale saimese cat, fat and lazy with a huge attitude scratched Pin ... BWAAHAHAHAHA idiot! Jigglypuff ownes in super smash bros!

Tris' dad drove us all the way to Greek peak, around 1 1/2 hour journey... considered short for americans, one thing to note in US, there are NO road humps over here, so for those crazy initial D fans, the US is the place for u!

<--- greek peak parking lot well u can see those trails over in the back ground. Those trials are graded Green (i can win) , Blue(hurt me plenty), Black (nightmare!)... u wont want to try the blue ones if you are a first timer... the slopes are like more than 60 degrees... well the black trials are similar to blue trials but trees and other obstacles just pops out of no where... so i managed to conquer one of the green trials only.

Hahah remembed the time where me and yuhei used the ski lift to go up the green trial. The snow board dangles on one of our foot awkwardly and tripped both of us when we got off the lift ouch... i sprained my ankle and yuhei sprained his knee hahaha... but we still carried on LOL.. so much more fun than going in circles in a ice skating rink...

The picture of me alone on the ski lift is in the night, where it was snowing heavily making one side of my face numb before i could even snowboard all the way downhill. Temperature around may be cold but i was sweating all the way... it just feels like you are wearing a jacket in singapore.

Pics of me getting pwned by the training ground me going up te lift at the green trial again... Tris on the verge of falling down... poor pin stuck in the bottom of the hill... think she scared of heights... well at least she took some pictures and videos of us "coming" down the hill ...haha too bad the vids cannot be blogged... show u guys and gals when i get back to sg around late april. Cannot wait for the next winter to come... its snowboarding time again bwahahaha...

Filler...filler....episode

2007-03-06T09:09:00.000+08:00

A ja! ... watched wild hogs today with the chinks today. Jaja funny show kinda reminded me of those days back in singapore hanging out with 'gay' friends minus the harley davidsons ... sian its now spring break for a week... most of the freshmen /freshwomen lived in freshmen dorms... they have to move out... and most of them live at different states ... so they went home, leaving the overseas homeless students back in school T_T... oh well not too bad ... went to Tris's home for 2 days and a day at Greek Peak for snowboarding... happy times!

A home in the suburban landscape in NY state... where their lawn / backyard is bigger than what u can find in houses in Nassim Road... a place u can say " the 'wild' is my backyard". Really friendly pple really troubled them though for driving us to Greek Peak back and forth all the way... owe them many many thanks.

Hope Pin gets her laptop soon so she could post the photos into facebook, and vids to youtube. Good to have a camara woman around ^^ ... looks like we have a camara man in sg too! A person who has the ability to "stop time" is always welcome in a "team".

Juicy stuff...

General Description of Painting

This painting most likely depicts customers enjoying their time in a 70s coffee house in Singapore. The reflections of sunlight on the off colored walls suggest that it is a really another bright, sunny and sweltering day. The customers and several other people huddle themselves in the comforting shade of the coffee house. The people in the picture hiding under the shade of the pre World War II era “Five Foot Walkways” along the coffee house are enjoying freshly brewed coffee during lunch.

In the background there is a faint urban skyline of Singapore. The picture was unsigned and undated, apparently drawn by an unknown artist.

Through the eyes of Berger

History, history says almost everything in Berger’s view. However in the picture, the date is not known and the artist is not known. But the date can be estimated through several things that appear on the picture itself. Questions like “What is the history behind the painting” is asked.

In the backgrounds of the picture lies the huge skyscraper; clearly the OUB building. The skyscraper itself is being built recently in the 80s. The building itself is officially opened in the year 1986. Therefore the picture is most likely drawn in the late 80s till present. Additionally, in the foreground; the coffee shop itself stood in “Peking Street” located in the heart of “China town”, downtown Singapore.

Presently, the entire “China town” district was being refurbished into more of a tourist attraction area. The refurbishment project consist of preserving the historic value of the “five foot walkways” but bringing modern pubs, posh restaurants and shopping junctions into the scene, a project by the government to kill two birds with one stone. The refurbishment project started in the late 1990s. The history of the buildings in this picture tells a story and breaks down into a crucial time line. Therefore conclusion is that the painting is being painted after the OUB building is built in the late 1980s and before the refurbishment project before the late 1990s.

Here comes the question. According to what another piece of history depicts, the structures that stood in Peking Street have been evicted before the 1980s by the authorities. Therefore the coffee shop itself has been closed down in the early 80s to be exact. So in the case of this picture, why are there people being painted in the picture? The people that were drawn in the picture does not seem to be tourists or people visiting relics of the past, but they were drawn sitting down on chairs, taking their time sipping on drinks, communicating and having fun. The people “were” in the building. The people in this picture have been placed in this picture purposely for a special reason, known only to the artist.

From this conclusion, there are ways we can see and tell and ask the picture about the artist. Why and what is the reason that drove him to add those people into the picture? Were the people from another scene that appeared from the artist’s memory? Why is this scene from his memory so significant that he wanted to add into the painting? Was he in the picture amongst the people? Was the painting too “empty” without the presence of people? Or was it just for aesthetic purposes; just to make the painting livelier or pretty?

There are a few points of view and assumptions from these questions. One view is that the people were added on just for aesthetic purposes, the artist may not be conscious to why he painted those people at that time. But in fact, people in the past used to enjoy hanging around coffee shops just like what the picture depicted, therefore the people the artist painted were actually from another piece of time, but brought into the picture for the sake of aesthetic purpose. Sub-consciously the artist preserved, rekindled the soul, the hustle and bustle and the sounds that used to be with the evicted building.

Another view is that the artist actually was amongst the people in the painting. He used to be one of them, enjoying spending time with friends, family and strangers in the coffee shop. It could be said that it is a scene from the artist’s memory that he wanted to preserve in that particular place and setting. In this case, he may have painted the painting in a spirit of longing. Hoping to preserve the spirit of the coffee shop and his “sovereign” experience before the refurbishment, the artist painted the scene out of his memory so as to preserve it as a material form. Or the artist could have simply done it just to remind himself about the good old times that he used to have.

MY VIEW

My dad drew the painting. I was with him…with uncle Tong. I was around 10. Picture was “edited” by renowned Singaporean artist Tong Chin Sye, who always mocked my actions, a person whom I really liked to be with, he talks lots of crap that makes sense; The reason why the painting was unsigned.

Beautiful artwork from my point of view… lots more to be added…

DAMMIT I HOPE MY DAD WOULD SEND THE PIX OF THE PAINTING….
THE PICTURE SPEAKS MORE THAN 1500 WORDS.
PRICELESS; A SHARD OF MY CHILDHOOD IT IS

Yes the official 3rd language for me is going to be Spanish. Rumoured easier to learn than english... NO SLIENT Ps, Ks, Ws, CHs, blah blah and what so ever so many of them... I am so surprised when coming to think that i actually learnt how to speak the language "English"... AND CHINESE... many many thanks to Ah Tok and Teachers helping me trudge through this shit.

Notice the difference between music made by people speaking another language. I suspect music is actually a "warped" form of that particular language; another form to express themselves with "words". Sooooooo....

13 Feb 2007 : Kid in the US&A: home of the "mighty U.S. warlord, Emperor Bush."

Just another day at work! Its gonna be a beautiful day when it starts to snow in the early morning; light flurries floating down from the sky, creating a ring of light against the street lamps... This could only mean SNOWBALL in the morning... classic Valentines day morning ...what a scene to start a day!

Izzit just an excuse to see the piles of snow out of my dorm? I managed to uproot my ass off the bed just to get to the 8am lecture today.... I dunno ^^... Oh yeah not snowing anymore, but instead there was freezing rain, instead of raining water its raining small little pellets of ice, looks similar to the coffee suger we take every morning... cool huh^^! I promptly gathered snow from the ground, rolled a snowball threw it at the sign "Gnomen Copy" @#$% idiots that ripped me 17 bucks just for my physics lab book...stupid rtards... nontheless i felt good.

After fooling enough with snow, I slid myself to the dining hall... It is so fun sliding across the metal grids across the floor, one thing to note; this act actually made me aware of the grids, so i could slide across it rather than sliding across it accidentaly. Met Akino and Pin for breakfast, baka Tristan still sleeping haha... baka! Check out Pin's darkness aura all around her... scary...

After breakfast... rolled another snowball; threw it at Pin hoping that will clear her aura, but it didn't work... girls ... girls... we headed off to our Physics and Calc2 lecture, still no signs of Tristan.

After Lecture... shucks ...freezing rain gone bad, it was raining ice pellets just like our tropical storm. The good thing is; this kinda rain dosn't wet your clothes, however it clogs the drain like nothing i have ever seen; forming a thick grey slush everywhere, like grey slurpy... for a moment, this scene reminds me of those glory days back in BMT chiong suah.... but only with my ltd ed nikes. Nothing better to do in this weather... i decided to head back to dorm... with freezing rain stinging my eyes.

Writing class... college writing class (sounds smarter) 1.30pm ...that could have been me.... i dragged myself out of bed after hearing that all classes after 4pm cancelled... Freezing rain + rain outside .... double trouble / bad combination... i have no idea how to cross the street to my class... the whole road is clogged full of wet slush... these wet slush is no childs play, step into it and your toes freeze off (just kidding), but close. While I was trudging my way through this minefield.. i heard a loud rumble... and chunks of ice started falling a roof, narrowly missing a pedestrain ... ARTY ARTY ARTY !!!! I managed to survive the ordeal and arrive at college writing class with wet feet and wet butt.... yes i fell -.- happy valentines day!

After class... weather became more forgiving... Just freezing rain alone... i went back to dorm against the wrath of god... freezing rain just stings... gets into your eyes and stuff like that... just cannot imagine what i had written for college writing ... 1603 word essay with my limited vocaburaly... scored an A-/B+ ... its just a miracle ... after i read all my classmates essay... i have nothing to say about mine... i think i just got lucky or does the lecturer got a fetish for young asian guys? If true = 1, take care i shall...

Dinner was shiok today... met Pin and Qin for dinner today... Dispite Lauren and Tako jioed me for dinner at his place ... its just too far, too slushy and puts too much risk from getting hit by falling ice... ZOMG good choice... Cartel style BBQ ribs for dinner at Stetson West and my usual stir fry of brocolli, onion and beef (but today i got shrimp). Think i just put on another 2 kg... feel so good... Qin got some valentine's day special heart shaped candy from the table... disgusting.... printed with words like "kiss me", "i love u", and other mushy stuff like that, sight of those little candies just make my stomach turn.... Candies looks like crack tablets with mushy stuff written all over them... taste like shit... Pin's darkness aura came again.... starts tearing at those little hearts.... must break hearts! ***RIPP***

Back to dorm... shit .... heard a faint but sharp wail.... no... cannot be... this cannot....be.... The wailing got louder and flashes start appearing form the crack of my door ...F$#%^ ... BAKA FIRE ALARM... whos red hot passion on valentines day trigged the smoke alarm? Meanwhile, while everybody evacuates to the porch, i stood in the freezing/normal rain watching the firemen storm into our building armed with huge crowbars... a minute later the firemen appeared again ... "its just an overcooked steak"... must be some valentine trying to impress the girl that he can cook... idiot...

Pin took plenty of photos today... just like every other day ... hope she gets her computer ASAP so i can grab some of the photos from facebook... fun in the snow and stuff like that... so u guys in SG can enjoy what i enjoy.

This is a 900++ word blog.... record entry... second longest piece of crap i had ever written in my life please enjoy yourself... Happy Sexy time!

Just went on a friendster testimonial spree ^^ seldom i have a mood or urge to write... thanks to my inner sloth taking a break...

Haha today college writing course was fun, topic: arts .... Sandro ( a 26 year old professor ), actually showed us a dvd " style wars". Mainly video-taped in the (80s... or issit 70s) about the debate on arts and graffiti, hip hop culture, breakdancing in NYC... It reminded me on one episode of samurai champloo where illiterate mugen learns how to write .... an infinity symbol; where he starts tagging everywhere, including the roof of the..... castle or shrine (dunno ... dont care).... happy times !

Vid shown kinda biased against the authorities as unartistic bunch of pple, showing us the smug smile on the face of the guy who suggested putting wolves within the fences to guard aginst those vandals.... "wolves are not known to attack men" thats what he said...

Goverment officals & Train services ----> graffiti bad, bad image on country.... uglyfying, unglorifying...
Taggers / Burners ----> "Its my name!", form of expression... culture

SO IS GRAFFITI A FORM OF ART ??? PLS COMMENT MY FRIENDS !!

Personal artistic definiation of f$%^ing art - a human instinct, a formed or formless means of expressing oneself, through our heart, skills, mind, body and soul; stimulating/influencing one's senses... examples .... cars, music, dance, martial arts, photography, paintings .... etc etc; made to appeal / hated.

Sio on graffiti ----> on the same wavelength as fine art, simply put "crude art" ... even cavemen do it.... nazi art exists

SO IS GRAFFITI A FORM OF ART ??? PLS COMMENT MY FRIENDS !!
SO IS GRAFFITI A FORM OF ART ??? PLS COMMENT MY FRIENDS !!
SO IS GRAFFITI A FORM OF ART ??? PLS COMMENT MY FRIENDS !!
SO IS GRAFFITI A FORM OF ART ??? PLS COMMENT MY FRIENDS !!

pls define art too ^^ fun hehehaha

2006-12-02T15:14:00.000+08:00

Yes !~ finally the weather turns out fine with a forgiving 24 degrees ! Clad in T-shirt slippers and shorts, Sio goes for a movie half marathon. The actual marathon is just crazy, 7pm to 7am, i did it in 7pm to 2am. Quite alot of stuff watched just 4 days before finals... V for Vendetta -.-, Clerks -.-, CLERKS 2 !!! <----- GREAT! and BOONDOCK SAINTS <---- fugging great movie....

Clerks & Clerks 2, basically just bunch of lowlives working and hanging around the "quickstop grocery store" Harressing, poking fun, making racist remarks on customers.... In Clerks 2 they simply "upgraded" it into a colored film, and "upgraded" Jay and Silent Bob... Oh by the way Jay is just some guy that stands at the same spot outside the grocery store selling drugs, he just cant stop talking.... whereas.... Silent Bob....... is his yin yang opposite......always stands next to him, nv replys to what he says ................. man he got the easiest role in the film... just one or 2 sentances in total... and occationally carrying the huge boombox in and out of the scene, and MY GOD THEY ARE RICH!! . Great hilarious show.... animal sex FOO!

Boondock Saints<--- hilarious mafia/superhero movie...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boondock_Saints
kinda underated mafia/superhero movie...set in Boston... got chance i get the dvd so we can watch back in sg... hope can play...

YAY 2am finish movie... time to go back ... hell yeah!! clad in slippers shorts and T shirt.... not really suited for night weather... feels like 7 degrees.... lots drunken stuff on the short walk back to dorm... students getting reprimanded thru the police car loud hailer asking them to leave the shopping cart "literally" ...in peace .... idiot digging for gold in a trash can... no gold? oh yes ... begins to tear apart a side mirror of an M3. *sigh* miss my camera phone...

It's Time to Move on... Boston Sux to the core !

2006-11-26T15:50:00.000+08:00

Oh yeah! trip to NYC! oh yeah before i type anymore..... hot chocolate time !

Characters in trip (RPS)
Rudy
Pin
Sio

Oh yeah so it begins!
0830 - RPS buys tickets from 'fung wah bus transportation, inc'. Plain simple and cheap $15 dollars per tix. English on ticket is as bad as mine " No pets allow on bus!" , "One piece of average luggage per a passenger and we are not responsible for passenger's luggage." "all your base are belong to us!" simple wrong english, but still get the point across.

0900 - Load up with some water and off we go! 4 hour journey.

1115 - 10 mins pit stop.... almost lunch time though, Sio grabs an ice cream.... asks for chocolate chip... but turned out to be cookies and cream....stupid wetback dont understand my singlish -.- ... yummy !
pin got herself a vege pizza and rudy got himself 2 fillet burgers .... off we go again...

1330 - RPS arrived at Manhatten bridge. Bus pull over over at 139 Canel street (chinatown)

R

Power chinese propaganda poster! They should put uncle Sam there instead of the chick...

1500 - Off to see the memorials -.- queue for ferry to miss liberty is like 400m long -.- ...fuch! So true... road to freedom so near yet so far, you can only think of it.... while i took pictures from a distance....

Liberty, miles away... Pin at ground zero

1600 - some how i think i lost track of time.... above is a picture of ground zero and Pin.

hmmmz whats next? central park.... all the horse carriages and stuff ... stinky... and jamming up traffic.......................................

1700 - Times square .... here we come .... equivalant to our orchard road, times 20. Blazing neon lights, moving billboards literally wrap themselves around building

s... they are everywhere!... its just.............. "monster kill!". Oh yeah what about the shops? CHOCOLATES YEAH!... over at hershey's "factory" you could see little kids spinning at valves, eagerly waiting for chocolates to drop from a machine.... "sample" machine.

R waits patiently for them to drop too LOL ! free choc!

STUFF TO SEE OVER AT TIMES SQUARE!!~ i am too lazy to type individual stories... share with u guys when i get back ... here are some pics!

2030 - Its time....back to the manhatten bridge... took the last bus back to boston... what a day! Pin hugs the seal all the way back home ... 4 hours .... coming home on the 17th... tell u guys more about my tour.

Hmmm... What did i just buy...

Reason for current Status: Hunting. Harp Seal populations are commercially hunted, usually on their breeding grounds, and the current hunt in canada has been described as the " largest slaughter of marine mammals in the world"............. BLA BLAH BLAH ! feeling lazy...
This was the first toy i saw, it was at a corner of the toy store... peering at me with those watchful eyes..."Bring me home... pls .... u dont love me anymore....". Guess what.... it was in the bag ever since i left the store -.-.... fark! .................. oh wad the hell.......... something for grandma!

And.... Chocolates.... oh shit .... something is going wrong with me.... dark ones summore...did i become a girl yesterday? Looks into pants ***ahem*** ....... ok ....... still working properly.

Boston is a dead city...

2006-11-26T00:24:00.000+08:00

Boston.... seemed like 80% of the population are students... where the old and the super young are rare.... talking about diversity -.- . Hate this place... especially now ...

Ok i'll tell u a little about us sloths... lets do furrrrrr talk yeah fur talk ... fur talk... as in fur .... fur talk!.... its not just ordinary fur i have... Two different types of symbiotic bacteria actually grows on my fur... thus creating a green tint which is useful in camouflage, making me look very much similar to a coconut... and ... hmmmmz.....bacteria = fooood~~~ ***licks*** MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm Green bacteria.

Oh yeah i discovered a way to grow & cultivate green bacteria too... have u guys eaten fruit loops?? yeah fruit loops.... fruuuuuuuuuuit!.... loooooooooooooops! I usually smuggle them out from the dining halls during dinner and WALA! fruit loops for breakfast.... kk secret between u & me................ bacteria actually grows on left over fruit loops & milk ... hehheh... i have been secretly growing them in my bacteria lab (kitchen sink) these past few days. The experiment Actually turned out pretty alright... nice green sticky goo... smell of yeast though, i wonder why... i'll let it "age" for another few weeks ^^

SIO: " I just disinfected the whole room... smells and stinks of yeast.... i cleaned up the sink and threw away all the stale fruit loops....and... yeah ... i think its a good idea to throw away your water bottle too... your chocolate protein shake has caked up in your bottle. It took me quite a while to remove the residue & THE @#$#@#$%$#@#$ SMELL...."

Searched and compared it online.... best match = turkey chicks... Must be some irresponsible parents left them out in the open to fend for themselves. Happens to humans sometimes.
Lets hope those chicks could find themselves a new home.

Overture (Iron Maiden live 2006)

2006-10-09T00:54:00.000+08:00

HOLIDAY TOMORROW FOOO! As promised, here are the pics!

IRON MAIDEN LIVE !
Cousin sneaking a lil husky into enemy territory, the Agganis Arena in BU. Its kinda sad though, seeing the band before the maidens getting booed off stage, the visual effects and lights were just pathetic. What can u expect from a makeshift-stage set-up in a hockey arena. However the stuff they were playin were pretty impressive ^^ forgotten their band name XD not a keeper though.

The tech crew tore down the back drop of the previous band and, "wow" i'm in a middle of a war zone, Enter the maidens .... totally underestimated the stage props and lights. Picture speaks for itself, movable hanging lights that works just like a puppet on steel cables. Not to mention, the maidens brought a frigging TURRET with them (center of pic). U can see Eddie (iron maiden mascot) peering out of his binoculars with his bright red eyes. Dissapponted though, i was expecting the turret would spew out confetti just like a volcano which could be the ultimate visual experience, however i think agganis arena aint cleared for
pyrotechics... *sigh*

Check out the cr^p loads of random stuff they brought on stage man... "lil" Eddie marching across the stage with a man-sized rifle. Stage was decor was damned cool, sand bags, con wires and stuff, reminds me of "chiong suah". <--- 2 storey stage... learn that NPS, screw PSF!...

Living conditions just ownz. Well two guys living in one room what do u expect. The walls seemed so flimzy that a person could bash through it without any problem.

Part of the Jose Ramirez heritage. Yet to find a name for my new wife. Such a beauty, crystal clear sound, shimmering harmonics, with deep bass, overall balanced tone ^^ love it! The ultimate work of art, engineering and nature.
