Destiny

People all have one Destiny - Death (Random Quote of the Day)

Today was rather fun I guess. I spent quite some time drawing a NERV logo on my chinese textbook. When I went back, I drew even more. I spent about 1 hr 15 mins to draw the ones I did at home. I drew them at the back of my timetable. The new SEELE logo is not yet complete. Hope you will take a look at them.

First lesson was Bio. We went through our TYS with Amy. Haha. Then was English. It's always fun. The word could be used for almost every sentence of one of the worksheets the teacher gave us. Geography was rather boring I guess. I had lots for Recess. Haha. Guess I shouldn't have spent so much. Bought some mamee monster from CS outside the SRC. They are like opening a business liddat lor. Business-minded marists. After that was Chemistry lessons. Yay! I did the chemical calculations really quickly. Just kept writing non-stop. The Greg was like competing with me. Cos I taught him how to memorise the first 20 elements of the Periodic Table real quickly. But he was still slower than me. And of course I made some careless mistakes. But we corrected each other. So it was kind of a win-win situation. After that was Chinese, when I finished the letter writing in 1 period. The teacher practically wrote 75% of the whole letter on the board. So we could do it quite quickly. I finished fast so I decided to draw the old NERV logo on my Chinese textbook. I've already drawn the fallen angel one on the textbook (Bottom right picture. 'Fallen angel' is not the exact term, its Sammael. I guess its rather forbidden. Looks cool anyways.) After that was lunch break, had Nasi Lemak... Again. This is the 4th serving of Nasi Lemak I've had within 7 days. haha. Had some milo. Then some guys in my class were discussing anime. So a few of them watched NGE, Chobits, only one watched Elfen Lied. Yeah. I watch it too. It almost matches the controversy of NGE. Which anime gets a cute girl to get killed within the 1st 8 mins of the 1st episode? Elfen Lied. When I first watched it, it was shocking. Never expected something like that to happen. So its a good show.Muahaha. After Lunch Break was maths. I failed my quiz by 0.5 marks again. Haiz... After that went back home. Started drawing my EVA stuff at about 1845. Finished at about 8pm. Tomorrow is Learning Journey. Don't have to go band. Xink just called me saying that I needed to get ready stuff. Too bad I'm not going. He said he could not contact any of the other Librarians. What a coincidence...

Carbon

My stick just got carbonated by a bunsen burner. (Random quote)

Yesterday was Easter, and I was all emo about going to church. Had 2 packets of Nasi Lemak, 1 stick of otah and a couple of scoops of chicken rice. Went to Ang Moh Kio to top up my phone and for tution...(Kinda glad the concert is on a Tuesday so I won't miss tuition... Or the trouble caused by missing tuition.) After tuition, went to J8. Played guitar hero again. The battery ran out!!! Ahahaha. I was just beginning the battle too. Went to tuition. Didn't do homework again. After tuition played guitar hero again. They fixed it!!! Played some medium songs. Some of the were BORING!!! The medium battle was finally unlocked and tried it. I was doing better than I had expected, but did not even get a chance to retaliate against Lou. Oh well. Also played the Bleach PSP game. Byakuya really is the most powerful character I guess. Easily defeated many other characters. Cool.

Today, the 1st lesson was chemistry practical. Quite fun. Its about acids. Mainly HCl. Love balancing equations. After that was maths. Then was SS. Then was recess. Then was Chinese. I drew some Evangelion thing on my Chinese textbook. Looks real cool. Assembly was about bullying. This group came and acted. Stupid people laughed at the wrong time. The discipline of the school is dropping. I don't really care. As long as it still looks good when I apply for a job. After that we gotta do I & E. Played money talk. Its a really ill-planned game made in Singapore and is promoting insurances of NTUC income. There seemed to be missing pieces. 3 pieces for 6 players?! Dun really feel like blogging now...

Homophobe

What do you say when you see a homophobe: Hi! I'm gay. Be afraid... (haha. Random quote of the day.)

Today, Dr Goh visited the band for the choral part in Hymn to the Sun. I think I will get a sore throat from that. Haiz... The new tuner ain't that good. Limited range, only can play an A note. Metronome isn't very user friendly. Never mind. Sectionals was boring as usual... Pumped one of them from crossing their legs. They never learn I guess. I don't think I should hold sectionals anymore. It's sickening and tiring. They never learn. It's no longer what it used to be...

After that went to tution. Actually Lucas asked me to join them for soccer after band. But I got tuition anyways. So I rejected them yet again. I've been rejecting them for a few times now. Even if I did not have tuition I may still not join them... Cos I don't wanna spoil and dirty my shoe. Haha. I think the English tuition is the most fun part of my entire week. Much more fun than band. Cos we get to talk about so many different things. Maybe I just don't have as much fun times as you nowadays. Next week Raj's getting us Pizza Hut! Yay! So I'm gonna get a lighter lunch after band. After tuition went to Comics Connection. Its been almost 6 months since the last Mahou Sensei Negima manga came out. So has World Embryo. After that went to Sony to play Guitar Hero III. Before that I totally lost touch. My timing was haywire. Just like losing the embrouchure when playing the flute... After watching people play for almost an hour I decided to play... And lost in the battle with Lou, even when my rock metre was still high. I lost by a death something. Tried again and won. Yay! Then tried Slow Ride on Medium mode. I got the highest sia. Haha.

Good Friday

I started my Good Friday by reading 'My Balls'. Yes. My Balls. Haha. That was about 12.30 in the morning. Just finished watching Monster and dealing with the stupid anti-virus which has been scanning for the past 4 hours. Should have gotten Norton.

After I woke up, I continued watching Fate/Stay Night, on youtube, cos some episodes got removed in just 1 day on veoh. Hope they put it back. So managed to watch 1 episode. Then my family forced me to go church again. The service was like 10.30 till 12.43. 2hrs 13mins. WOT. I feel the judgement about Judas is quite biased. Its only based on the facts as told by the other apostles. There wasn't the Judas side of the story, which was burnt. But without Judas, the crucifixion would not have taken place, the plan would not be complete. In other words, the betrayal of Judas was already planned by God and cannot be definitely called a betrayal. He was just following the will. Not going to say more about this...

My Nasi Lemak turned cold... Haha. I'm gonna say something random for every post I'm doing from now on... Unless I'm emo. Oh ya. I've just watched the news. They say 2 guys created a Mas Selamat Facebook. Now they are selling Mas Selamat T-shirts. Lol.

Dunno whether Innoform is gonna bring the next Evangelion movie, Evangelion: 2.0 Division, to Singapore. Cos they cut the 2nd movie preview, which was supposed to be played after the end of the first movie. This may mean that they do not intend to bring the second movie to our shores and not create false hope. Scary. Really hope they show it in Singapore. I estimate if the next movie is shown in Singapore, it should be at the end of this year. I'm still not happy that they cut the ending theme and replaced it with some stupid ang moh songs. Hope for the best of Evangelion future in Singapore...

New NERV Logo...

The new NERV logo came out for quite a while now... But I only decided to search for it last night... So I slept late... And I couldn't concentrate during Physics today... And since chiat's brother young got transferred to 3A, he came to our class today and slept... Just like me... I was quite emo the whole lesson... Not because Garnish is back... Oh well... Before recess was PE... They kept saying I was the best player... For floorball... Not that I really care... My team lost most of the matches anyways... Cos the goalkeeper of my team kept losing the balls that were passed to him... So in the end my team only won one point... Lost 2-3 points... I think... I blocked the most balls anyways... Kinda top defender in a way... If the teacher hadn't tweaked the game... Haiz... Those playing floorball should know how he tweaked the game... Maths Gregory was emoing... So I emo-ed him back... Chinese was boring as usual... The teacher was using her funny chinese accent again... Morning assembly... M was doing the announcements and stuff... Didn't he know what a mike was?!... He was so loud... Some guys in my class was like... wtf, who is that idiot... You screwed up... Even if you didn't... The religion of the day was Taoism... yay... Mass was fine I guess... At least no out-of-tune choirs, weird bands, hymns and communions... Washing of feet ceremony... Should plant mushrooms in your feet, walk around barefooted for a day, wear shoes and socks without changing them for 3 days, then attend the washing of feet ceremony... It will be a massage... Sorry... Back to the NERV logo...

So now there's an upside-down apple behind the fig leaf, as you can see on the right. I think it supposed to mean: The apple represents the apple that Adam and Eve ate in the garden of Eden. Why it is upside-down? Dunno. Maybe cos it looks nicer? The fig leaf, was there a long time ago, was when Adam and Eve discovered their nakedness and used fig leaves to cover themselves. Cool. Makes sense. Some people do not like the new design, saying it kinda makes it uglier. I slightly agree with it, but it looks cooler with its new look. And if you go to the Evangelion website, the apple will occasionally flash. Nice site. Nicely done.

Tomorrow's Good Friday. Joy to the World?

Catholic?

I'm in a Catholic School. Marist school to be precise. Named after Marcellin Champagnat. Anyways, there is a ridiculous instalment in the recent morning assemblies, especially this week, which is the 1st week of school, as well as... what the Christians call 'Holy Week'. I'm not saying anything wrong about the holy week. I'm trying to bring another point. Since this is an important Christian/Catholic week, why in the world is there an introduction to other religions? Shouldn't there be a better time to do all that? Maybe during Racial Harmony Day? Deepavali? Hari Raya? Vesak Day?!!! So today, Jaya was the one who introduced the religion Hindi! And guess what, according to my mother(Christian), it is wrong to have more than one gods, and that there can only be one god. So why are the Catholics introducing other religions? Wonder why.

Today there was band. CT came back. Yay. If he didn't say my tone improved, I would not have realised. Maybe it because of the change of flute... Nothing much to say anyways. Friday is Good Friday... Means no sectionals. I seriously can't stand my section... Not that I wanna switch sections with other people. They are like so in their own world (autistic is what I call them). I will get the one who is the most 'autistic' to conduct sectionals next time... hahahaha.

Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone

Yo. Welcome to my new blog. I dun think I will be changing it again.

Yesterday was the 13th of March. Yeah. In the morning, I went to the clinic for a blood test. My father thought I may have high cholestrol. Also went for a urine test to check for diabetes anyway. The results came out today, I'm A+ blood type. And I'm perfectly fine. Yeah. After that, went to make my IC. The cafeteria was closed down for renovations. That place had a sever lack of food. Seriously. Wonder where people would go for lunch with the cafeteria closed.

Went to Orchard Road. I happened to find out that Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone the movie was showing when I was watching recorded anime that morning. I was soooooo happy. I decided to go on the opening day, which was 13th of March, of course. So many things happened on 13th March. It was also the opening day of many shows, like Step Up 2 and Horton. I decided to call Wang Liang to go with me, cos apparently, he is the only person I know who shares similar interests in Evangelion as me(If you like Evangelion tell me) . Since it was like 3pm, and the show would start at 5, & Wang Liang would be coming about 3.30(in the end came at 3.45... btw, he didn't come for band prac on Wednesday cos he was emo... -_-"). I walked around. BORDERS finally sold Volume 7 of Chobits, but I was broke. Actually I had enough money, but it was my mother's, so I'm an honest guy and would only use MY savings to buy stuff, didn't buy it in the end. Then I walked all the way to HMV. Looked at the Anime OSTs. Saw a Fate/Stay Night OST. Yeah. But didn't buy it, cos I'm broke. The anime there hasn't changed much since I last went last November. Rather pathetic I suppose. Then headed back down to Kinokuniya at Takashimaya. It was the biggest bookshop I have ever seen. Seriously, BORDERS is nothing. And of course, they had the widest range of manga in Singapore, where I found Vol 3, 6 and 8 of Chobits, 3 of the 4 vols of chobits I have not gotten my hands on. Amazing. They even had Galaxy Angel. Actually BORDERS had them too.

Anyways, met Wang Liang and we talked all sorts of things from the MRT to Cathay Orchard. Things like blood tests, injections, evangelion(of course), piccolo, flute section is gonna die, 等等... Arrived a 1 floor below the ticket counter thing. Went into a figurine shop (my idea). They only sold Gundam models. Sad. Wanted to see Evangelion models. What was great was there were Haruhi figurines and many familiar anime figurines which I knew. Then went up. Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone is NC16 btw. (You know how old I am. And apparently, no one remembered my birthday. Wonder if I should remember theirs) The tickets cost $8.50. After we went in we thought we should have gotten student prices at $6. But I shouldn't risk it. After all I wasn't 16+. The theatre was at the 9th floor, the highest apparently. It is mainly a game place up there. There were like many computers, billiards, human sized models of movie monsters. There were also these small rooms. You apparently rent them, and can do anything you like in there. There was like a tv and 2 coms, as well as a nice couch. Cool. Waste of $$$. Then we just talked and waited until we could go in. It was Hall 12.

Not many people in there. Apparently, it is barely publicised, even outside the theatre. No wonder only a handful of people went. The theatre was also the smallest I've ever went. I usually got my tickets free anyways. So this was the first time I bought tickets. Cool. And I got by the ticket girl just fine.

*Spoilers ahead. (Not exactly anyways)*

The show is basically a re-run of episodes 1-6 of the series, just that there are different approaches to each incidents, as well as some of the which are exactly the same, including the camera angle. The graphics were highly improved, Eva Unit 01's green stripes were practically glowing, really great. I've got a picture but dun want to upload it here. Some of the Angels got a facelift. Asuka is not included in this instalment. The best use of 3D in the movie was when Tokyo-3 was rising. The effects were breathtaking. Really great.

*Spoilers end here*

Overall it was great, even though it got a low rating on Life! Not that I care. His comments were weird. After that we went to the Shaw Tower(?) for dinner. The one with the movie theatres. Had McDonalds. Wang Liang said I ate very fast. That's what usually happens outside. I ate some of his fries too. Later went back home. And guess what, my mother had subscribed to the new internet plan, which was supposed to take effect on Tuesday, but when I went back home, it was done. Sooo happy. Great day. That's why I can blog now. That's all...
