28 days without meeting up with people due to MC. Months since I conversed in actual English with somebody. Sunday's conversation reminded me of something I did last Thursday...
On Sunday:
A: (seems to think I'm a lil' bored) Sian ah?
Me: Relax Leh...
WTF.... I'm actually about to say, "no, I'm just staring around in space.", or easier said, "Relax, Loh".
Gah... "Relax Leh..." seems to become my catch phrase...
On Thursday evening, I called my Coy that I had an extension of MC.
Me: Hello, PTE Zeng here, is this ACMTL?
B: What?
Me: (repeats again, this time getting worse, resembling white noise.)
B: You bloody Cheese Bun, can you speak in bloody english?
Me: M. C.
B: Ok wait
Grrr......

Angst
Disc Knights had a scrimmage with the Muddies on Sunday and I got invited.
The match was great: DK's was full of fire at the beginning, and zonal defences are really tight. They did let off a little steam at the end, and the Muddies changed their play to their advantage because of that, but they were able to go through in the end.
Ah.... it's been a while since I've stood on the fields and watched them play. It feels great to see them play, kind of sparked the fire within me, but at the same time it feels sadly nostaglic.
New faces, new gameplay. It feels I'm crossing some unknown boundary that I've crossed before. Funny... and I wonder if I could catch up with them by the end of the year...
Maybe I'll start with some casual pick ups at that time.
Ok.. I think I'm angsting...

Anime Review: Air
Maybe I'm indifferent towards comtemparary arts, but yeah, I think the Anime, Air is a waste of the animator's talents....
http://www.animenfo.com/animetitle,1475,mlmoin,air_tv.html
"Kunisaki Yukito is a traveller, ever seeking the 'girl in the sky' from a legend passed down in his family. His journey takes him to a small seaside town, where he meets Misuzu, a girl who seems eager to become his friend. A story spanning a thousand years begins to unfold against the background of their peculiar relationship."
My version:
"Story of a male character trying to cheer at least 5 angsty female characters up. Attached is a story of a old old myth, and an ending that leaves most viewers dumbfounded."
Gah.... to think a movie for this series is to be released... it must be REAL popular in Japan... for the otakus, at the very least...

Dreams II
Another dream... two consecutive dreams in two days.... not good...
Continued with me in a endless void of light, suddenly becoming dark.
I got into a Porche or some expensive sports car. Upon adjustment, I realised my position is a little... queer.
I got to the steering wheel alright, but my legs were too cramped to make controlled depressing of the pedals.
Decided on the second choice: adjusting my seat backwards, straining to keep my hands on the steering wheel.
It was damn fast. At 1st gear, the speedo was nearing to the 80 km/h mark. The car became a bit uncontrollable after that, and I seemed to scrape against the dividers on my right.
Without noticing, I reached at 220 km/h at gear 5.
scrapped side of car again, and I woke up again.
Strange dreams....

Dreams
On saturday, I had a weird dream... about cars... influence of Initial D?
The specifics of the dream, I can't remember too well, I do know that in my dream, I smashed a car into 3 shallow fountains, or pool, or some container of water... Yup, the same car, in three different places.
I ended up under detention, and I saw a familiar face. Someone close. Someone I know. Not a relative, a friend perhaps?
He warned me I was getting darker and unimaginable.
Everything faded after that, and I ended up alone in endless void. It's bright, yet not that blinding... Then the fear of open spaces got to me, and I woke up...

Family Matters
Thank you Mediacorp for bring up such a sensitive topic just now: Procreation.
Thank you for allowing my dad to rant on about his stand on pro-procreation. I understand what he says, not that I don't. Heck, the problem is that I let my life flow just like that. Who knows, by the time I actually go on a wedding march, I might be a very old bachelor already...
Some people may plan ahead, giving themselves a lifetime timetable of what to do. Nah, I just live my day, saving money for a rainy day (ok... -_-; that's planning too, but for short term....), fall in love (which is kind of rare), get married (which is impossible now), and get... kids.
... I realise this is boring... Let me write down something interesting... not!
Batman Begins deserves an encore. And yes, I watched it on Monday with my whole family. Imagine the ultimate joy on my father's face.. heh heh...
My MC suddenly hits a stag... MC is too long, requiring a formal medical board. That puts me on a edge of MC bliss, or AWOL nightmare...
Bah.... what the hell......

MC Bliss? No?
Do you have a tingle down your neck, flowing into your whole body when you listen to good music you like?
I do. And it feels goooood.............
Visited the specialist today, thinking whether I will have an MC extension or not...
And nobody would have guessed the look on my face when I realised I got a slip from the counter.
42 days. That's like, 6 weeks....
WHOA!
But long MCs come indefinitely with a Medical Board, and my Fleet Commander seems to be displeased. He's thinking of appealing to the Board to cancel my MC, and have me back in camp...
Which leaves me praying for the best...
No movie outings, no more birthday celebrations outside my home... but what the heck....
MC loh~!

End of one anime marathon... Life Update....
On Anime
----------
Watched Mai HiME, thinking it would it could be nice considering the popularity in the forums... and realised it's actually a for-the-girls-kind-of-anime.... and I thought I heard bi-shoujo....
hmm... the audience scope would be somewhere between Fruits Basket, which is pretty mild, and Maria-Sama Ga Miteru, which goes purely shoujo...
Still, I can't help but say that the series is not bad, with some interesting and humorous episodes. But maybe I seem too sexist in this series to give such a good rating... considering the main protoganist character to be a strong and self-believing female...
The manga's better still in my opinion...
On another note, Athrun fans got some kind of reprise when he got into a fight with suddenly all evil Shinn Asuka.... hahaha... good~~~
On Books
----------
The decision to do some recreational reading came as a shock to me, since I have not taken up reading novels and such for at least three years... For the past three years, the only books I've been reading, are documentations on computer languages, and comic books.
The habit of reading novels was forcefully reinforced in secondary school to improve my skills in writing a fuller and more complete plot in my composition. I even used sentences directly from the novels to give a fuller impression on the landscape in my compo. Gah... what's the point of talking the past...
Well, the computer is not available to me all day long, and surprise, surprise, when my sister bought the books The Da Vinci Code, and Angels And Demons back home. Yes, the former is a famous bestseller in New York, and the latter is another good title by the same author, Dan Brown.
Yes, ages after the books were out and widely discussed...
Oh well, I finished Angels and Demons, and The Da Vinci Code's the next.... Maybe I could give a steal for the Digital Fortress after that, which sounds interesting to me... or read up on the remaining novels my sis bought...
On Music
----------
This seems to be an odd time to hear about music, but yeah, recently there're these songs from X Japan that keeps rolling in my head. Most music I've heard do not have a long impression on me, because they seem have some low points in their parts of their songs...
Like the song Faith by Limp Bizkit. The first part of the song was awesome, with the lyrics gripping my heart so much... but the second part where they started scratching the disk and crooning on a hallucinating tone turned me off...
Then I took an alternative preference for Anime OST OPs and EDs. These 1:25 minute songs are short, but have that kick to keep you listening... At least, there are no low points that get uninteresting...
Now, three songs from X Japan. Tears. X. Forever Love. Been playing them for the whole week, but it ain't not boring at all...
Surprises and Wows aside, maybe I should go and buy my first personal album. X Japan released an All Time Hits CD...
On Blogs
---------
Yes!!! I've found some more new links to read! From Rumei's Link, I saw some more eye-catching reads and blogs!
... heh heh... more time to spend...~
Ok that's about it... now for my next anime marathon.... just hope it won't get disrupted this wednesday....

Shows that speak of Friendship, Courage, Superpowers, Humour... Blah Blah.
I had actually wanted to write this post at first on Saturday... after watching an anime show...
Post Comments #1: Any Shinn-Hater's Club? The Episode was a heartbreaker by the way. Maybe I am a Kira fan unlike Marcus Goh, who is more interested with the Red Knight Athrun...
Post Comments #2: The episode was a heartbreaker, with incredibly sloppy plot devices that make certain characters weaks and some, strong...
Ok.... I guess only a minority will understand this crap. Go Strike-Freedom! Die Destiny! Infinite Justice, you just Suck! buahahahaha.....
Just for an update's sake:
I had an knee ligament recon operation two weeks ago. Swelling is still there, and the initial phase of not being able to live a day like a human being, was a pain in the ass. Now I am having a month's worth of MC, which has been the envy of my unit mates.
Up til now, I've been watching... a few movies... Hostage is a good Bruce Willis show I think. Then there are the Japanese cartoon shows that depicts of Friendship, Hope, Courage, Superpowers, Humour, Good over Evil, and a plot device, that with Will, you can do anything.
Haha.... yes, Anime.
While most of the Anime is aimed at teenagers of specific genders or both, there is one anime series that reeks of darkness, and seems like a mystery case dealing deeply with the Nazis, and killing just for the sake of a name.
The series is called Monster. Apparently, the series is not bad, and New Line Cinema is interested in creating a movie based on this story's plot.
Info and more can be gotten here...

Well, I'm off to my next anime marathon... see ya around~

Gah.... Blog is Dying...
Gah..... no motivation to write..... must all those videoes i've been watching to pass time...
Anyway, no one would be actually interested in my life right now... right?
Something interesting happened, so of course I would be writing some stuff here....
Yesterday, my mum went for a tour in malaysia, in kota tinggi... brother went out with some friends at downtown east, and my sis was out... leaving me and my dad at home...
Normally, family dinner with almost full attendance, usually adds to the ambience of the dinner. Topics of the day often keep the dining table alive, but yesterday, it was just... my dad and me.
At that time, I started thinking, the table sounds... so dead... I actually could not think of things to talk, things that actually relates to my father's existence...
Then my thought scope turns to the time Gary got along with his dad so well in the car while on the way to jason's house for his birthday...
My dad talked about the Bee Gees first... it's a topic killer... my mum actually suggested before to my dad to let my sis listen to the bee gees instead of all those japanese and chinese hip hop and pop songs that are now gettting to her head. I ended up nodding my head, and looking at him, agree with nothing...
Then I thought about a TV series earlier on, talking about rock music... and I ask why Beatles wasn't his 'in' thing then. With that, the topics got a little flowin' to the likes of the Vietnam wars, the hippies, and such.
With that, it finally reached the common channel which I have been trying to avoid... Military issues... and friends which I have right now...
Dad starts talking his combrades/friends in the army when he was a regular. The times he had, and friends he had close relationships with... and he asked me about my friends, and how I relate to them... then it become a really squirmy topic about money, and the talking stopped from there...
The friends I got to befriend... a good number came from the poly when I helped them on modules and projects. Then it got more when I met up with my academic club though activities and got to know more friends. I still had contact with some of them, and the others just... faded to friends who just say 'Hi' and 'Bye', which is a little sad for me.
The majority of friends whom I still keep in contact with are through a common interest now, were just my Module Group, Ultimate Frisbee, and Movies.
Module Groupmates are busy with their stuff, and meet-up are quite difficult to organise, with the people who fly aeroplane increasing by the day...
Frisbee?? The last time I was on the field, I just did nothing but watch the game sadly...
Movies are really becoming a rarity, with the ongoing curfew and my increasing expenditure...
Then again.... I'm just rambling about things that are just selfish thoughts of myself...
After re-reading all these... maybe.. I really deserve all this... after all that has happened...
