December 26 Toki wo tomare!Time passes too fast.
All of the holiday time so far has been spent procrastinating. Yet, there wasn't enough time to finish everything I wanted to do.
However, I shall not wish for the holidays to repeat itself like 15498 times.
Speaking of which, a specific dancing animu got licenced a few days ago. Unnatural voice acting imminent.
...I should start rushing ACE opportunities already. D: December 17 I'm a happy person.My Kino order arrived.
 I'd be even happier when I'm able to read it.
I shall start learning after depleting my light novel stock. (Gonna have a problem when starting on Suzumiya Haruhi no Inbou. It's friggin thick. :3) December 12 PoFV AI.Quoth a certain wiki.
"In Match Mode and in Story Mode, you may notice spinning flowers in the top right corner. These represent the number of wins that character has had, similar to how in Fighting Games, one gets a little icon of sorts below their health bar. ...... Also in Story Mode, the computer will tend to become easier to defeat the more of these it has."
I knew something was wrong with the Story Mode AI already, but I now have solid proof.
I was playing Touhou Kaeidzuka Story Mode Easy, using Sakuya just now.
Stage 8. I lost one match. Komachi just doesn't seem to die at all.
Second round, I immediately let out a Level 2 Charge (which causes knifes to show up in front of the opponent)
Instead of backing off and dodge, Komachi rammed straight into my projectiles.
...
I went "wth" and closed the game. December 09 Kinokuniya still has lotsa stuff.After being convinced, I decided to try ordering Touhou Bunkachou from Kino. Going to cost insanely much when I collect it though.
Other finds:
They now have a shelf specifically for light novels too. Heh. December 08 Emo post about 2L, testimonials.3M2K7. Shoot.
I shall attempt to dao almost everyone, focus on studies, etc.
Emphasis on "attempt".
Ok, on to the emo post about 2L.
2L is one of the greatest classes I've been in, really. Everyone gets along well, and there aren't any seriously spastic people. I (don't really) remember the first time I came to 1L, there were a lot of people I didn't know. I (kinda, but not really also) remember that I was seated next to Wenhao, and heard him rant about geppers and how mainstream is better. (^^)
There wasn't much happenings of importance in 1L2K5. SSB caught on in our class, and most of us started playing it. Although I kinda fear being caught, I still sneaked on some games with my fellow classmates on the comp.
Around the move to the air-con'd classroom, there was this sudden surge of popularity with a Russell Peters video. I didn't get the joke much, saw them as kinda offensive, and hence feigned allergy to Russell Peters, whacking people "lightly" when they quoted *cough* stuff.
There was also the kicking of chapteh. It was much fun. I had the habit of pocketing my hands when I play, and some other people decided to emulate it. Heh.
Also: A period of time where people such as Nel, Cavin and Zack would play soccer along the corridors. I remember witnessing the ball fly out of the building towards the canteen area. It was kinda awesome! XD
In 2005, everyone played Maple. liek rly. It increased relationships with your classmates manyfold.
Mr. Liew was replaced by Mr. Quek for our English lessons. My impression of him was kinda good, and left for oosa before I could, er, know stuff.
So, in oosa, I continued playing Maple with 1/2Leans, albeit a few months after. The fire extinguisher incident also happened at the time. I wished I could witness the moment of gg'ness though.
Just before my return, I (think I remember that I) heard from Jay that Shawn and the class planned a welcome party. Although a bit embarrassed, I was touched. (non-literally) 2L still remembers me, and I felt that I made a right choice to return to SG.
Then stuff like ACE proved otherwise. orz
2L could be described as a nucleus of an atom. The Sec 2 camp, as well as the class chalet, proved that there is strong force between nucleons. </cheesy statement> But really, 2L2K6 had teamwork beyond what I saw in primary school.
I doubt 3M2K7 could follow up. <pessimism />
Testimonials now, yay! I never actually did testimonials, so I'm gonna start trying now.
*generating list of class (by not referencing other classmates' blogs and instead using the standard class list.)*
If you play IN, you might understand what the percentage on the second lines mean.
I. Wen Hao. (Oyster, 10%)
-40%
Randomer
2K5--
I remember receiving statements about how mainstream > geppers, and various declarations of fandom for F.I.R. Thought of him as kind of a weird but okay person.
2K6--
Seat's next to him again. I realized the extent of his Chinese skillz and lesser Maths skillz. Still felt that he's somewhat strange (eg. not the kind of character I'm used to). However, not as much. ^^
Hey, he's now iCouncil chairman! Applaud him sometime.
apx. 83/96
II. Benjamin. (Benjy, 98%)
-50%
Randomer
2K5--
...I forgot. >_< Still remember fuzzing him before flag raising and stuff. XD My eyebrows lifted momentarily after looking at his size.
2K6--
Still the same size. XD Has a neat blog (albeit not updated), and tells clearly FTW jokes on the bus to pass time. For some reason, Benjy became marked as evil, prolly by Daniel. Became the subject of pokes and stuff.
Knows how to use his chibi-ness to an extent.
apx. 84/96
III...
Skip.
IV. Lester. (Five million people, 20%)
-100%
2K5--
...Also forgot. Kinda neutral against him. My eyebrows lifted momentarily after looking at his size.
Wait, where have I said this before? Deja vu...
2K6--
Naruto fan. Awesome! However, his fandom is a bit overwhelming at times.
Now a fan of Ken Akamatsu's works, which pushes him safely towards -100%. Nice.
He also draws kinda well, although I hate to admit it. ^^
apx. 80/96
V. Jay. (Conch, 5%)
-65%
2K5--
Jay really seemed annoying, disrupting classes and all that. Seriously.
2K6--
Found out that he has an interest towards Linux and Macs. This is when I realized that he might have some l33t skillz.
Still disrupts the class with somewhat lame questions and comments though. This time, however, I welcome the occasional distraction.
He is the mass-producer of the dreaded die.bat, which is the bane of all computers. Evil.
apx. 78/96
VI. Jerrold.
-65%
2K5--
Didn't really interact much with him.
2K6--
Plays DotA. Pfft. Also, now the class treasurer, and kinda does his job well. A rise of a Humanities power.
Still didn't interact much with him. D:
apx. 75/96
VII. Xuan Cheng. (XC, 55%)
-65%
Randomer
2K5--
Didn't really interact much with him.
2K6--
RC! Woot. Sitting behind him allowed me to see him drawing, which is really good, second to Shawn. He also socializes more this year, and we talked more.
Class T-shirt idea never really took off.
apx. 79/96
VIII. Hong Nan. (Nanny, 2%)
-80%
2K5--
He's the science rep. Has a (now defunct) blog, where he posts rather informative posts.
2K6--
Still the science rep. Maybe it's because he's quite good in the sciences. This year, he's often called Nanny, which he dislikes much. I try not to follow them.
He knows how to work the breadboard, which automatically makes me classify him as a science pro. Along with most of the class. ^^;
apx. 83/96
IX. Kai Li. (Kiwi, 45%)
-65%
Haruhiist
Pani Poni
BattleNetwork Player
2K5--
Didn't interact much. Heard that he's kinda good at Maths, although not so in Chinese.
2K6--
Learning that I play Battle Network too, we get along well. Managed to show him Suzumiya Haruhi and Pani Poni Dash! Woot. Has some nice jokes, but should speak louder and clearer though.
Not in same class next year. D:
apx. 90/96
X. Dah Wei. (Bigtail, 50% | Diwi, 30%)
-65%
Randomer
2K5--
Got along insanely well. It was like a clique consisting of me, Dah Wei, Jia Jie and Nelson. Played Maple and stuff.
2K6--
For some reason turned a bit eccentric. Talks less with him now.
(In)famous for a certain satire.
apx. 82/96
XI. Kah Hong. (Chairshark, 35%)
-65%
Randomer
2K5--
Class treasurer, known as Loanshark. Now the chairman of the CMC, had to change nick a bit. Heh. Was quite active in the SSB'ing spree.
2K6--
Quite a l33t person. Excels in both study and play. *envies* Taught me some *coughmah**coughjong* during teh Class Chalet, but I lost my attention to the ongoing Worms game. D: Now tries to convince me to play Rakion, of which I repeatedly refuse.
You should try Touhou instead. XD
apx. 86/96
XII. Zachary. (Zack, 35% | Poser, 12% | Zacko, 3%)
-80%
Randomer
2K5--
Didn't really interact much with him.
2K6--
Conveniently seated next to him too, I interacted with him more often. I keep joking about how his phone (a dopod?) is a secret weapon used to summon *coughmissilescough* from *coughn.koreacough*. There was something about him and a girl, I kinda forgot.
Maybe it has something to do with his specs.
apx. 83/96
XIII. Swee Kiat.
-65%
2K5--
Basically asking him for info about EP3. Otherwise, nothing much.
2K6--
Daos a bit less, gets along well with Cavin and stuff.
I get to continue asking next year. ^^
apx. 77/96
XIV. Wei Jing. (WAGING, 10%)
-75%
Randomer
2K5--
Lone NCC guy in class. Didn't really interact much.
2K6--
A rhyme was made on his name. Something about paging for aging Weijing to fight a waging war in aging Beijing or something. For some reason, I like calling out his name in a frustrated tone, like I'm disapproving his actions or something.
Next, when he responds, I say, "Nothing!"
apx. 75/96
XV. Yang. (Lim Yang, 80% | Goat, 20%)
-65%
Randomer
2K5--
I went, "oh look, he's from NYPS." Then didn't interact much with him.
2K6--
I went, "Ah, he's in Chinese Orchestra." Then still didn't interact much.
I heard he's quite the pro in CO though.
apx. 76/96
XVI. Jia Jie. (Joyous Occasion, 10% | JiaJi, 10%)
-70%
2K5--
Got along insanely well. We kept talking about Maple and stuff. Tried introducing him to Earthbound, but (I think I remember) he gave up after a while.
2K6--
Interacts less with him now, but still enjoy seeing him rampaging sometimes. I remember doing the "zao chai mao" stance with him, hoping to get good grades. Lawl. Then shake hands when we did.
Still a good friend to me.
apx. 82/96
XVII. Andre.
-65%
Randomer
2K5--
Didn't interact with him much. I'm starting to suspect that instead of not interacting with lotsa people in 2K5, I might just have memory problems. D:
2K6--
Humanities power, although slipped a bit. Still had excemptions though. Replied to my "magic trick" using a correction tape ring with some of his own. Good to hang around with.
Hopes he keeps his l33tness in Humanities.
apx. 80/96
XVIII. Sai Meng. (Sai, 3%)
-65%
2K5--
I went, "oh look, he's from NYPS too." Gave me an impression of a nice guy.
2K6--
Socializes more now. Sits behind me, seems to be a bit blur? Gave another impression about his Chinese skillz.
Quite the pro at badminton.
apx. 83/96
XIX. Nelson. (Son of a Nel, 10% | Nel, 85%)
-70%
2K5--
Got along insanely well, except for a time where he clawed me real bad. It's okay now. Tried introducing him to Stepmania, but he gave up.
2K6--
I don't talk to him much now. D: Just like Dah Wei and Jia Jie...
Now playing Audition. Wai no stepmania!? T.T
apx. 82/96
XX. Taylor. (TOYS, 2%)
-65%
Haruhiist
2K5--
Like most of the class, initially thought of him as annoying, and disliked his lame comments.
2K6--
Now, he's no longer seen as above, and I think he's actually quite a nice and helpful guy. Although we still go "Erps." at some of his comments though. ^^ Tried introducing him to IaMP, but failed. Also the owner of a certain unfortunate Doodle Bear.
Maybe I'll try again next year.
apx. 82/96
XXI. Han Yong. (Pnghy, 40%)
-65%
2K5--
Didn't really interact much with him, remembered him to be a wuxia xiaoshuo fan.
2K6--
Sailor Pnghy. Along with Taylor and Sai Meng. Keeps poking Kai Li for some reason. Flares up sometimes though. Slightly disagrees with the information about him put up on the wiki. Heh.
His character is, well...unique. In a positive way.
apx. 80/96
XXII. Kia Wee. (Kiwi, 2%)
-70%
Randomer
2K5--
Didn't really interact much with him. Think I remembered him being good at dramatic stuff, as a world dominator.
2K6--
Now owns several other facades, such as puppy, Kaiba, and paladin. Kaiba was annoying, he kept vandalizing the wiki. puppy was okay, but using a tie as a makeshift leash isn't exactly...
Sometimes write in sky-blue ink. Heh.
apx. 80/96
XXIII. Shawn.
-65%
2K5--
Plays Halo, not much other stuff.
2K6--
Teh most l33thax artist in class. Kinda thoughtful (since he's the welfare sec and proposed the welcome back party. ^^). Likes to play with Benjy and Kai Li, usually through poking. Did I mention that he's also superior at poking?
Hope he could find a true friend (by his standards) in the future.
apx. 81/96
XXIV. Cavin. (Calvin, 10% | Cave in, 3%)
-80%
2K5--
Track guy. Has an elder bro in Hwachong too.
2K6--
He could be seen playing the guitar at times. Seated behind me, I learned the art of "magnetizing" a Uniball Gelstick cap. Gives me an impression of a nice guy.
He should be also quite good at track too.
apx. 77/96
XXV. Daniel. (da niu, 5%)
-65%
2K5--
I went, "Oh yay! NYPS GEP!" and somewhat talked to him a bit. Gives the impression of silence. Showed me Jumper Redux, Neverball..
2K6--
Pure l33t. Actually sociable despite the impression. Constructed a die2.bat, but failed. Whew. Made the 2L wiki, which is currently declining in activity. Helpful guy, really. Also thinks that Benjy and SZH is evil for some reason.
I still have the Lab closed.ppt with me, ze.
apx. 90/96
I hereby conclude that 2L2K6 had some of the best classmates (eg. Not spastic and stuff). I wonder how I'd survive 2 years with some guy who went Spanish Inquisition over me earlier today. D: December 03 Casino Royale was meh.Watching it through explained why more people watched Happy Feet instead.
<spoilers>
Firstly, they drag the plot after you thought the major story arc was done. After tying up the loose threads, you would be like, "Huh?"
Also: Lack of lotsa action sequences. And gadgets.
A possible explanation was that they tried focusing on stuff like character development instead of
Also: Reasonings about "people with skill don't need fancy gadgets".
There was also a mention that James Bond was recently promoted to 007.
...
...
After 9/11?
*timeline inconsistancies!*
</spoilers>
They should make a last successful James Bond movie, and never touch it again. For various reasons. |
