Dreams/Nightmare
I hate dreams at night. They disturb your total sleep, giving you a not so fulfilling feeling he next morning.
I had a few that almost predicted the future. One of them happened just today.
While waiting for the debrief for the Armour 35th Anniversary Parade (yes, shit work...) training, I hwas standing in a position that almost shocked myself.
The guy next to me, with his burnt face, so are the way I stand, the weather, the place and any other elements. They appears 100% like what it did in a dream I had a few months ago.
If this stuff can be true, how about this?
I had a dream 2 days ago. I was on a wedding day, just married to this long hair beauty (too bad i can't remeber her face...). Real touchy, like any other newly wed. then I notice one important thing: my 'wife' was in the driver seat!!!
Does that mean I will never be able to drive a car?
I am no handsome Newtype who can pilot mobile suit, but only ride horses (i.e. Char Anzable from Gundam), you know.
NO!!! What if this become the truth!
79 days and counting... (hope I meet my future wife in one of these days...)

"slash"
Raely, lou dao have off on Sunday, so I suggested we should either watch a movie at home (as I still have Gangs Of New York yet to watch on DVD, gift from my subscribtion of First), or we go watch Zatochi. Of course the latter win.
What is Zatochi? Folks in the 70s will know him as The Blind Swordman/Samurai. It was so famous among the Chinese and Japanese audience that they did a "vs" film collaboration with the One-Arm Swordman of Chinese film.
30 years later, Kitano Takeshi did a remade. It was a hit in Japan and outside. I even wanted to buy the DVD. Luckily I did not, or else money wasted again.
It is not as if it is not worth my money, just that movie magic should sometime be remained in the cinema.
The new Zatochi is a blond, with a short crew cut (I should have spot his style when I dyed my hair last time). The movie soundtrack is often Stomp style. The ending number is a tap dance.
The blood still spill like nobody's business, hence the NC-16 rating. It is pretty much like Kill Bill, less the fuck word in English. They do it in Japanese. I know it, the others are clueless.
But only with all those blood spill, the battle scenes became more beautiful painting of speed, power and elegance. One hit, one kill. Instant death, everytime, no fail.
That's all I have to say for now, before everyone get to know too much. Go watch it.
Trust me, it is more than the slash.
84 days and counting... (among them, I might buy the Jap ver DVD...)

Focus Jirakul
When I finished and post this up, this will be the don't know how many -th Singapore blog that contain the name of this very adorable little Thai actress.
Many locals had watched the movie My Girl. Many have deep impression of the lead child actors.
The story is a simple love. Boy grow up with girl, boy love girl. Boy need to find a tag during adolecense, boy play be bad to girl. Girl angry, boy regret. Girl move out of town, boy gave futile chase. Boy grown up, remember the whole story.
Yes, that's it. A very simple story by 6 young directors.
But this is the top in box-office in Thailand!!!
There is one part where the kids dressed up as Chinese martial art novel-drama characters, accompanied by the original theme song by original artiste, Micheal Kwan (i think my older readers should know who he is, Kwan Jing Kie).
The kids fought each other in the scene, with the details perfectly depleting the original stuff. Real laughing gas.
Too bad, the screening season ended, and my folks wanted to watch it very much. I tried to find the VCD online, but it only release in Thai, without English subtitle.
I nalso tried to find the pictures of Focus (yes... it is a name...) but onlt to realise how many local blokes had the same likeings of cute little girls like me (yes... i'm a little pedophile... only look, not touch...).
In the mean time, wait for the local video release.
86 days and counting...

Dilemma
Planning for my Japan trip is suppose to be fun, it could only be true for my two accompanians. It had turn out to be quite a dilemma on my side.
Why?
Money.
It is not like as if I do not have the money for the trip. gu ze gave me S$2000 (500 more than the proposed 1500) to pay for the flight and accomadation. Now, my final cost of that: S$1797 for hotel in Ikebukuro, flying ANA. This pays for everything needed, be it tax, or service charge.
lou ma zi thinks that this is too much.
She think I should just spend less than S$1500, giving the reason that I am still not earning my own money. She want me to take cheaper alternatives, alternatives like flying by Northwest Airline, as tried by her friends.
However, she tends to for get that I am not travelling alone. My two companian do not want to thrift on money to give up on comfort and relibility. One of my friend, whose aunt works in the industry, pointed out that Northwest have tendency of delay. This is the lasting I want for our tight scehdule.
I still think I should stick to my plan.
But how am I going to convinced the folks back home?

Long Abscence
Yes, two weeks passed and not a single post was up. I was just too occupied by some other things.
First, I was hooked on to my PS2 once again, due to the arrival of two anticipected titles. Hence, I spent hours qorking on them, only to touch the PC when I need to read up clues for the games.
Next, it was still spoil. The graphic portion still hurts, despite fixing the main system (thankz to my silly mistake of placing the processor chip... being laughed really hard by my comrade... i know how stupid it was...). Every letters of the alphabets I type could be the result of the retart of my PC. The PC just restart without warning... anytime...
Lastly, planing for my Japan trip.
This is the bibgest task of all. Buy air tickets, book hotel, and even to find specific route of access, they can easily take up hours of your day. Just two hours ago, I only found the actual location and acess map of the proposed hotel, and how to get to an attraction that is quite far away from Tokyo city itself.
Then, I also need to meet up with my travel-mates/best-friends-in-secondary-school-to-now to discuss what package should we take. No matter where we go, we could be talking about the same topics for hour.
But, we ended each meeting with a few more hours of gaming...
Hence the long abscence.
And I can tell you I have really no idea how many days to my school start...
And (I think) 92 days and counting...
