Saturday, November 10 | I spent a lot of money on random stuff, okay not really. - 23:23

Stardust was kinda awesome.
Even though I haven't watched The Bee Movie yet, (Stardust has bigger font than The Bee Movie representing greater 5-star-dome) I feel that Stardust is definitely better than a movie about a talking bee that kinda looks like a guy who overdid the warning colours.



I'm not gonna tell you what Stardust was about unlike Paul Ooi but I'll just tell you it's a coolio movie that everyone should watch. Even those who cringe at the pronounciation of Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter or some other Fantasy Novel movie spin-off.

Anyway, it was the first fantasy movie that had Romance, Folklore characters and humour all mixed together vigorously till it made some sort of home-made Protein Shake.

With my birthday money, I spent the first 50 dollars on a PC game controller, Memory Card reader, extra earphone ear-tips, a Tri-wing screwdriver, an Atreyu CD, movie tickets, McDonald's home delivery, and some sweet, salted Chicken from Tangs Basement where they sell all the random Home Appliances like some sort of TV innovation channel.



See that? It's the 4th time I've posted a picture of the Nintendo Wii. This time is to hope that an experienced console modder might notice and help me in my painful predicament of modding the Wii. Fine whatever, then at least anyone with high experience in wielding a Soldering Iron.

Rightfully I shouldn't be talking about 'O' Level reflections since the MCQs have yet to come, but, I just feel like it.

Glass Half-Full, I'll get 6 points, go to ACJC, go to NUS, graduate with some weird degree, get a generic office job at a medium-sized company, decide that life isn't all that fun, open up a Chicken Rice stall in hopes life would be more appealing, slip on chicken skin and acquire a Head Concussion, get into a coma with a beautiful wife by my side who never approved of the Chicken Rice stall, and live happily ever after.

Glass Half-Empty, I'll get 21 points, go to a nearby Polytechnic in a generic 21 pointer course, flunk the shit out of the course, become a Road Sweeper in Orchard Road, get picked by a modelling agency for having a handsome face or get handpicked by a passing scout for having extraordinary Musical Abilities, earn my first Million dollars by 25.

Either way it's a good life, I don't think I'll be worried too much.



Thursday, November 8 | Platformers kinda suck, but now they don't - 14:03

I'm sure people who have played at least one game in their life know what a Platformer is. I know you'd be like, "HUH?! But I seriously have no idea what it is!"

Please, this the kind of game where you control a character and jump here jump there and collect items and kill bad guys. Super Mario, Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot. Yeah those kinda games.

Until now I've always thought they suck balls. Seriously, you run and jump and stomp on enemies and collect fruits or coins or whatever random items. Stupidest genre of games ever, if you'd ask me.

BUT NOW, a new platforming game is here. Yeah the guy in the moustache is back again.
Super Mario Galaxy is the best platforming game I've seen. (See I haven't actually played the game yet, but I'm actually excited about playing it)



This game has a Metacritic score of 96/100.
Metacritic is this place where they take the average of all scores.

ANYWAY, shit man this game is so damn cool, there's like this super cool gravity shit and you run around in spherical envionments and it's just like super cool and shit. DAMMIT, I need to play it like now. Stupid Bio and Chem MCQs are just full of shit.

I think I've posted this in one of my previous posts but I still gotta post it again. Super Mario Galaxy has an orchestratic soundtrack. Yeah with the violins and blowing instruments and recorders and electric guitars and xylophones; yeah that orchestra.





Yeah, onto music, Mayday Parade's the new Artist of the Week. Not the MTV's Artist of the Week but Nathan's Artist of the Week. Yeah, check it out. I couldn't find a studio acoustic streaming so I got this live version. Ask me for the song.
