reminiscence of 2009

well 2009 had alot of happening events for me! [and the world]

The Nominees for the Event of the Year are:

Cats musical! seats in Circle 1, courtesy by my sis =) it was super fun, cos the cats come and interact with us. was awed at the opening, cos they suddenly appear among us and start running around. they were inches from me, crawling on the mini wall. and this particular cat paused and looked at me with the LED eyes hahaha. and they surprised us during the interval, cos they were just lying around n some even sitting next to you. tee hee.

Distant Worlds! do i need to say more? cos if i start typing abt it again, it will become a post by itself XD SEPHIROTH!

F1 Grand Prix! free tic always feels good. finally got to experience the sound and smell of racing cars. well it gets abit boring after a while, if crashes happen in front of you, it would be exciting and super hiiigh. and sadistic.

And the winner is…….. (drumroll)

Distant Worlds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it’s a dream come true =))))) the opening with Liberi Fatali is just so hair-raising and intense, gives me the shivers~~  a great start with a great performance throughout with a great end. never been so sugar high before. memorable !!! and it’s something that i KNOW i definitely wanna go again and again and again. hope they bring more FF concerts here, or hope that i’m so freaking rich one day that i’ll just fly overseas to watch these spectacular performances

FINAL FANTASY XIII

IT’S OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

saw the game on tv display at century square.. along with Lightning edition PS3. and the box for the PS3 is actually nicer than the real thing LOL. me n cece were lik “can we just have the boxxx”

we just went in to ask the shop asst abt the price for fun. there was this oh-so-cool banner [[waddya call it? those tt stand on its own]] of Lightning =))) and could tell tt the guy was totally a passionate gamer happily working in his favourite environment. made me think of what Neil Humphreys wrote in his column XDD

anw, he told us that it’s $685 for the console, n it comes along with the game. and our immediate reaction is “ouch”. his expression was also yarrr-so-ex-mannnn. went on to say that normal PS3 is $529, and the game itself is $129. both parties OUCH again. 129?! my god.and cece whined “but it’s in jap =( ” and he was lik “yar lorrr” a moment of sadness and understanding btw non-jap gamers haaa

afterwards we passed by the shop again [gg to cinema], THE SHOPKEEPER HIMSELF WAS PLAYING THE GAME!!!!!! he actually took out a stool and just sat there outside the shop to play. and a crowd was gathering to watch. so cool la. the graphics are really really good, and let me stress, even during gameplay. WOAH-ness.  the battle system looks complicated. or maybe just cos everything’s in jap and we can’t understand a thing.

someone get me a PS3 already! and i will wait for march 9 2010 for english version.

pssst… i dun mind a super belated birthday present HAHA XDDD

Do As復活 !

the long path of Do As Infinity. When i found out last time that they were coming back, was totally ESTATIC!! i love the part showing the a nation concert, where the screen at the stages went black, and the words “Do As Infinity” slowly appears… the audience was lik shocked. and OMG WENT CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! see the ppl suddenly standing up?! =))))))))))

it’s been 3 years without d.a.i., and im sad that dai nagao himself is not back with them. but we’ll always treat him as part of d.a.i.!!!!!!!!!! it’s his namesake after all =D

if you don’t know Do As Infinity, watch this! Yesterday & Today… i’m super sure that 80% has heard of this song. will love it. it’s one of my very first jap songs, which made me totally fall in love with it =)

and did i say that when lamer-ris moved to my house area, there were earthquakes, tornadoes, hailstorms, tsunamis and every other disaster imaginable? such a tragedy.

F1 Singapore Grand Prix 2009

this has got to be one of the best FOC thing in my life so far =D  bro’s company gave him free tickets ^-^

reached there at around 4, and the BMW support race was going on. was crossing the temporary bridge which lies above the track, and it was SCARY when the cars sped past underneath cos it’s so freaking LOUD, and the bridge was vibrating and all. jumped outta of my skin, mannn.

when i reached the grandstand BMW practice over already, so didnt see. then came the Aston Martins. chio cars =) pretty loud too. oh the thing abt this post is that there will be zero or shibai photos of the cars cos THEY’RE ALL JUST TOO FAST. lousy digital compact cameras. took videos instead.

went to explore the park a bit and bought the survival kit. well $2 only, and it goes to red cross, so why not. went back to grandstand for the BMW qualifying. and i didn’t realise the word FORMULA in front of the BMW in the programme schedule. i thought it’s normal cars. was holding up the camera to video, the cars zoomed by and OMG EARS DAMN PAIN quick put down camera and stuff ear plugs. oh man. even though it’s a smaller version of real formula cars, it’s still LOUD. damn.

50mins till the real F1 run! exploration again~ alot of the sponsors’ booths selling their EXPENSIVE merchandise. ok at least it’s expensive to me. cos i dun see the price stopping ppl from crowding and buying the stuff. so many ppl crowded at Ferrari booth. guess tt even tho things aren’t looking up for Ferrari in the championship, they’re still earning big bucks haha. and i dunno why Brawn has so small a booth and is sandwiched btw 2 trees O.o and the food? FISH & CHIPS – $15, HOKKIEN MEE – $8, SOFT DRINKS – $3, BOTTLED WATER – $2 etc. you get the point.oh and some ppl dancing and shaking their butts. bro said they came last year too haha.

i think i walked alot. from padang to esplanade to suntec haha. to and fro. found a place beside the Stamford grandstand to see the turning point of the track. even though i have Padang grandstand seat, i have to admit it’s sorta boring cos it’s a straight stretch and they’re all just too fast. zoom, gone, zoom, gone. so next time, JUST GET WALKABOUT TICKETS PPL. dun waste money on grandstand, unless you are in those suites which i think is highly impossible to afford. lol.

oh one funny thing – i entered in and out the grandstand so many times tt the young staff [poly age?] alr recognise my face and just gestured for me to go ahead without checking my pass XD

seated at the grandstand, this time fully prepared and armed with earplugs. and did i mention that i saw some… stupid people with the earplugs inside out? seriously. and some crazy ppl who nv wear earplugs (mostly ang mohs), including kids under 10. madness! cannot understand how they tahan.

so fast so fast! everyone’s necks keep turning 180 degrees non-stop lol. Red Bull somehow keep passing us. and they come back so quick that you wonder “izzit reli the same one, or different one???” really… like never-ending. i think the nice looking ones are: Red Bull, Ferrari, McLaren. Actually Brawn and BMW are not tt chio. not stylo enough! and my MUM just have to CALL me on the phone at this time, i pick up and yelled with the cars so so loud in the background “我现在在看车啦!!! 听不到你讲话 OK?!?!?!?! BYE BYE!!”  heard my mum say something like “har ok” then i hung up. haha

then halfway through Grosjean crashed! not in front of me though, was sorta disappointed. i think everyone’s sadistic and like to see some carnage so that it’s exciting. but then again, crash can be very dangerous, later driver die or what then quite horrifying. it’s an inner conflict~

since he crashed, everything temporarily stopped so took the chance to rush to the turn to watch. yeah got space for me to see without anyone in front of me. turn is nicer to see lor, cos they are speeding towards u, then slow down abit and turn. can see front, side, back of car yeah. one of force india came VERY CLOSE to the barrier in front of us then everyone was lik WOAH! then after that a Red Bull drive wrongly, instead of turning he go straight into the small road. then he realised and braked and quickly turned back. those precious few seconds let us saw more of the car =)

went back to grandstand and see 15min of the Porsche race. so many look so ah beng!! one Otto Marine yellow one quite cute, then SC Global quite chio, dark blue with silver flakes =) and suddenly seem so slow and nt loud LOL. after seeing F1, every car is slow and so not growling XD but can tell that the Porsches are going really fast la, cos we totally smelled this weird poisonous smell and realised it’s the tyres burning.

F1 created another milestone in my life =)

FFVII ACC!!!!!!!!!!!!

first of all, i will like to thank JOLYN for giving me this chance to watch ACC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are ranked 367 in my list. XD XD XD

watching on big tv screen is so shuang. and it’s so CLEAR & SHARP. it’s reli reli reli reli highhhhhhh quality, zotto. And so many new scenes and edited dialogue and diff bg music. Well ACC definitely explains more clearly abt denzel and geostigma and who everyone is. FF VII newcomers won’t get lost watching ACC =) some new scenes i feel it sorta don’t fit, but maybe cos im too used to AC [i watched it lik 15 times already?]

i was abit shocked when they changed the bg music “Water” at the part where tifa n cloud become unconscious. cos it changes to the Nibelheim music in Crisis Core!!!! abit weird leh, cos the Nibelheim music always gives me a creepy chilling feeling.

Rufus’ one-sided conversation with Cloud is alot less crappy and makes a helluva more sense. and i realised tt Rude’s glasses are more transparent cos i can see his eyes! hee. The Turks get more screen time and action yeah! R&R gets some serious conversation, along with a friggin bazooka and a destroyed helicopter. was WOWed at the highway crashing down.

SO MANY NEW HOT HOT HOTTTTTT ANGLES AND SCENES OF CLOUD. HAPPY I AM.

fight with Sephy gets alot tougher. and painful. was going “noooooooooooooooo” and “ouch” on seeing Cloud get stabbed so many times sniff. so much blood lost =’(  and Sephy gets to show off his wing earlier. Collins’ kefka video must be too ingrained into my memory, cos i was actually trying not to laugh when sephy flew with his wing. ["One-winged angel huh?!!! and he goes flying around in circles!! homosexual circles i might add!"-collins]

oh the part i love? Zack makes a more prominent appearance at the end, encouraging Cloud at his time of despair =)  “It’s the question of the heart, you know? The heart.”
