Tears Of Joy

Today was a weird day. Wasn’t too boring, got 3 stars on a couple Spec Ops stuff and completed all of the Single-Player trophies on MW2. SMSed through the day, and enjoyed today’s episode of The Amazing Race (Which I’ll touch on later).

However, there is something that just bugged me. I have no idea what, but something was bugging the hell out of me.

I miss cable TV. Mio TV is a joke, there’s no way around that. Maybe next year with ESPN programming and the BPL it will be better but they still lack the movie channels, and the real entertainment stuff. Well, at least it’s a step up.

The Amazing Race… boy, do I hate Erika. Seriously, I think I perfected her “Oh, hell no”.

Apart from that, when you reach the final four, I dunno what people expect in terms of common courtesy. Everything is fair game at this point. No one will sacrifice a million just because they don’t want to steal a taxi. That’s just daft. This season has been the best in many many seasons though.

The Facebook integration into the PS3 isn’t as awesome as the 360 one, though it is still decent. You can allow the thing to automatically update your profile everytime you sync, which I have enabled. Sure, it’s a little spam-heavy, but considering how much Bejeweled Blitz things I get from my feed, I think I can justify this.

My PC trembles in fear with any form of 1080p media. Thankfully, my Mac & PS3 don’t.

Something I haven’t touched on yet is the Uncharted Motion Comic. Go and YouTube it, cause it is freaking awesome. While it has been out for a while, I haven’t gotten around and talked about it. Uncharted 2 may be my Game Of The Year (MW2 & Batman Arkham Asylum the only other two contenders), so your enjoyment may vary.

FlashForward is starting out decently. It has its moments, but can it last? Hongzhang has said that it gets sucky as it progresses, though I enjoy good storytelling more than him. Fingers crossed.

Going out tomorrow. Waffles!!

Mum asked me what I want for Christmas, and I didn’t know what to tell her. And to be honest, I have everything I could possibly want. Guess I’m pretty fortunate after all =).

Ok, today I picked a random episode of The Office from my iTunes to watch over lunch. That episode turned out to be The Coup from Season 3. Processing everything? Awesome. So, today, as I was working my way through Spec Ops, I catched up on several podcasts. One of them was TalkRadar, the GamesRadar podcast that is one that I recommend people hear if they are new to podcasting. 2 hours of pure awesomeness. They usually have some nice intro from some game related scenes from shows, or little game snippets. They opened with a scene from The Coup. I was weirdly happy. Coincidences do happen, and they are so incredible when they happen.

Lost is not going to show a second of Season 6 before it airs, which sucks, but I kinda understand why they did it. That first episode, LA X, better be something mindblowing.

That reminds me, there was a Oceanic Airlines poster in the first episode of FlashForward. I love easter eggs, but that was just too obvious of one. Though it’s cool that it kept within the canon of the alternate Lost universe of Oceanic Airlines having a perfect safety record. Lost nerdom to the max.

Have to update Firefox and it’s very boring right now, so I think I’ll pass and continue on writing a post that has been 2 hours of in-and-out writing.

It’s Miley Cyrus birthday, and it’s a trending topic on Twitter. What? Beyond!

1 Week.

The next week is going to be an interesting one for a number of reasons.

Firstly, it is the end of an era. Yeah, until they patch up again. No need to say more there.

Secondly, it’s the first week of official holidays. At least for me. No more need to go back to school or Access training (Man, that really sucked…). The only problem is that I just completed MW2 on Veteran. Really should learn to wait.

Finally, Thanksgiving is on Thursday! And not the Canadian one. Another HIMYM reference which I seem to be making less of recently.

Watched the last episode of FlashForward, and it is decent. I am definately intrigued by the whole story, but am wondering whether they can keep up multiple seasons of the show. This is definately one that desperately needs an end date or it will definately be another Heroes, which means a major flop in any language.

So, the SDMA deal has completely gone south. But I’m thinking of new stuff for the next script. Fingers crossed.

Writing a blog post throughout the holidays is going to be boring as fuck. Beyond!

Turning Up The Brakes

Today hasn’t been the best of days.

Singtel F’ed Up

Never a more perfect title. I had a 11-hour lag on a SMS. I wish I was joking.

Starting on FlashForward tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it will be awesome!!

2R7 Chalet got a major boost today. So excited. And yes, the issues have prevented me from providing more details. But trust me, it’s good. Follow Shahidah @shahidah_ and myself @UnrealJHXS if you somehow want to know where we are at in terms of booking details.

I spend 51 mins average per week on Facebook and yet I’m 50% addicted to it while Steph who spends 30 min per round of all her many many Facebook games and she is only 37% addicted. Goes to prove Facebook Apps aren’t as concise as one hopes they will be.

People have said that my blog is too perfect English (It’s not…). Here’s the deal – I used to write in Singlish for my old posts on MySpace, and they sucked. Maybe it’s me not really getting the whole blogging thing (Not that I’ve ever had ever gotten it) back then, but seriously, if you think this is bad, those times were worse. So yeah, I changed my blogging style. And for the most part, I like it like this.

Going to start linking people after this post. Yeah, it’s going to be the blogs I personally read. If you want to get linked, leave a comment. God knows I have too many.

Flash Player 10.1 came out yesterday, and it’s a step up. Changed from awesome cause, as Syahid pointed out to me, it’s Flash.

Randy Newman’s Losing You is bringing tears to my eyes. Beyond!

Eskimos

2R7 chalet. The accumulation of an epic amount of seriously WTF-ness. Here’s what I had to go through – Hacking the Costa Sands website for they only allow 3D2N stays (It’s already taken care of). Now I need someone who is an NTUC member to help book. If you know anyone, please please let me know. Much appreciated.

MW2 is a bitch. Froze on me twice today, and that’s not including the times it froze since Day One (It’s in the double digits). Seriously, Infinity Ward, fix this. It’s frustrating to go so far and have to restart the whole freaking level.

15 August 2008. What, you think every date I post is special? Please.

Aircons leaking ice may explode…Oh crap…

The Amazing Race & Survivor have stepped it up a notch this season. The Amazing Race because of the various teams being so strong, and Survivor because of Russell.

The next three days will probably kill me. For those without too much brain power, that’s Wednesday to Friday. Don’t ask why.

Ok,this is me on Wednesday. The above paragraphs were me on Tuesday night. Still, I’m bored, probably even more. Beyond!

Has It Been 6 Days?

I haven’t blogged in six days. That’s like, a new record.

Completed MW2 already. The Single-Player was decent, not as good as the original but still fun. Haven’t had too much time to sink into Multi-Player so won’t comment as yet (But it’s awesome…).

An update on the R7 chalet coming later today or tomorrow. It’s going to be a long one, so please forgive me.

It’s “Go Home With The First Guy Who Hits On You” Day. At least, according to Barney’s Twitter.

There was a car crash outside of school yesterday. Took pictures but seriously, what kind of sadistic person are you to want to see them?

YouTube now supports 1080p HD, though when I tested it the video seems to be compressed. Not surprising, but I wish YouTube could provide uncompressed streams. Don’t mind buffering for a while.

Taylor Swift won big at the Country Music Awards. Yay! Carrie Underwood is also atop the Billboard Top 200, though Owl City and the highly over-rated Fireflies is No. 1 on the Hot 100.Boo!!

The new Prank Wars video is up, and I must say it is awesome. One of those things that you would not expect to happen ever.

Facebook is coming to the PS3. Minor Yay, cause maybe then I can get my mum on it.

Ok, March ‘10 is going to be fucking insane. Final Fantasy XIII, God Of War III & Gran Turismo in the same month. Kill me now.

Why is everyone going to Escape today?

Got my 100 Silver Trophy by completing MW2, which was also ironically my 666 Trophy.

Saturday afternoons suck. Beyond!

There’s Barely Enough Time To Sleep

Been getting some good responses for the chalet, which is good to hear. Help to spread the word around!

Apart from that, there’s not much to talk about. Steph is an aunt, which makes her sound so old. Thought a boy was a girl but hey, this kind of thing happens.

Taylor Swift was on Saturday Night Live. This time hosting… The last time she was there she was a musical guest, and for that episode, NPH hosted. I think I said this before but it bares repeating, but the awesomeness of NPH & Taylor Swift is enough to blow the earth off its core. Don’t correct me, cause you know it is true.

I’m so thankful I can still find the monologue on YouTube. It is not incredibly awesome, for Taylor Swift isn’t too serious of a comedian (Thug Story was awesome though), but she pulled it off pretty well. The musical monologue was pretty funny, but somehow, I think NPH would pull it off better. Yes, only time you’ll see me say Taylor Swift ain’t as awesome as someone else.

Saw the Modern Warfare 2 guide today. No game, just the guide. Yeah, that feeling blows.

Mandy doesn’t move an inch when she sleeps. Weird.

Started watching Season 4 of The Office. Yes, I’m burning through them pretty quickly. The show is simply amazing. Season 4 isn’t starting out on a good note though. It is still awesome, but there is something missing. Don’t want to say what it is cause it’s a spoiler.

Going to be converting videos through the night. Hope my Mac doesn’t explode on me.

Installed Windows 7 today. It’s decent. It definitely copies the Mac dock look on its taskbar with the icon view, but it has some neat ideas. The Aero effects are sweet (Not as good nor as functionality as Exposé, but it’s a start), and the OS makes Vista look like a baby’s toy. Seriously, Vista is utter bullcrap compared to Windows 7.

It’s sad that the MW2 reviews can only go live when the game is out.  Dammit, I want to know if the game is awesome or freaking awesome!

Ok, The Office is awaiting me. And oh yeah, I’m no longer linking my Twitter to my Facebook accounts, so I won’t be updating that as much, but at least know it is exclusive stuff. Yeah, lame. Beyond!

2R7 Class Chalet Details

While nothing is set in stone, we are hoping to have a class chalet/gathering from the 14 Dec – 15 Dec. It’s a 2D1N deal like last year @ Costa Sands, and there will be a BBQ providing there’s no rain.

The current price that is being estimated will be around $250, which includes food for the BBQ and the chalet itself. As such, in order to cover those expenses, we are hoping that everyone fork out $7, with an extra $5 if you wish to stay. In the circumstance that we do not reach that amount or go overbudget, the amount will be collected equally from everyone. Likewise, if we somehow manage to collect too much money or go underbudget, the amount left will be refunded to everyone.

If you’re interested, please email me at moddingwithlife@hotmail.com or SMS me at 92329140. If you know of people who might not see this, please link them here at http://tinyurl.com/2r7classchalet. Thanks.

Script Or Blog?

Misleading title, but who cares. Not like they ever made sense.

Sorry for yesterday’s craptacular post. Needed to post one to let people know I’m still alive, but seriously, there’s was nothing interesting to blog about.

Syahid got a new blog –  http://crunchthefear.blogspot.com. Hop on over. I almost assure you it’ll be more interesting than this one ever will be.

I hate blogging URLs. It’s like you have to add the full stop to signify the end of the sentence but then it’ll be part of the URL and…Ok,moving on…

Jitwei,Weijie and Jarrett were on the freaking front page of yesterday’s Straits Times. It was like totally awesome. Also on the front page of Home too. Suck it 3R1!

Yes, I’m daring anyone to go against me on that. Which no R1 ever will cause they’re too busy studying or with Jerome (Oh snap!).

Another post with all the details for the 2R7 chalet will be posted later, which I’m doing to allow people who don’t want to read through all the crap on this blog can link to.

Should I add a place to link people around?

Got the class photos yesterday and they’re garbage. Not the photo itself, that image was simply priceless. I’m talking about the picture quality. It is total shit. The colours are so saturated, it’s unbelievable.

Modern Warfare 2, FIFA 10 & God Of War Collection. Fuck.

An Eminem song was featured in the MW2 Launch Trailer. I admit, I haven’t been too hyped for the game, but seriously, Eminem + MW2 = Win!

Speaking of Eminem, when in the world is Relapse 2 coming out? I so want that.

Since I’m on the subject of music, Fireflies is so over-rated. It’s a nice song, but in no sense is this a chart-topping song. Hell, I prefer Cowboy Casanova compared to it. The only reason it’s not topping is because it’s Carrie Underwood.

When is Mac OS X 10.6.2 coming out? Still having the Exposé issue.

Been watching The Office a whole darn lot recently, and it’s simply amazing.

So, yeah, that’s all I have. If you haven’t realised, I began spacing between my sentences. I know my theme is quite restricting, so this should make things easier to read. Go check out Syahid’s blog, and

Beyond!
