Apologies for the late update

Apologies for updating the blog 3 days later than usual my dear readers ( but usually it's only me who read this blog...and a few random guys whom I gave my blogsite to)

The previous week was one heck of a boring week. Had two tests (the notable ones) - Maths and Addmaths and what's so great about the previous boring week was...

-Bleach Anime
-Bleach Manga
-Completed D&T - now I can concentrate on my MATHS ( and Addmaths )!
-National Day CELEBRATION, but I had to stay back in school till 3-4PM to complete my D&T...but oh well.

Yeah, so that's about all.

Saturday was...EXCITING ! I went to attend the WCG 08 as a spectator and boy it was awesome, although I went there alone. I saw the match between Japan VS Singapore - I was rooting for Japan but in the end, Singapore won. Oh well - at least that's something to be proud of - it's our nation's birthday anyway. So yeah, happy belated birthday Singapore.

Then I went to Teng's house for a steamboat - it was an extortion. I had to pay $8 without being informed for the food. Crap. It's not like I ate alot <.<...but then again, I managed to smuggle an extra can of drink out, so yeah that makes it pretty much equal to a $8 meal.

3 cans of Aloe Vera drinks, a plate of rice, 2 eggs, shrimps, meat, chicken.

The steamboat soup was horribly polluted by the crab and calms - both which I do not like <.< Anyway I stayed there for an hour or two, hoping that Teng would help me out with some of the Monster Hunter Freedom 2 G quests but...since SX insisted that we go back early, we went to Lot 1 to loiter for a little while and bid each other goodbye (till the next school day)

Sunday - dreaded day. Although there is no school on the next day ( supposingly the postponed Day after National Day ), I felt the Monday Blues. I spent the whole day playing DotA and the day quickly went by. Sucks - in certain games I could get scores like 5-3 and in others I can get 1-5. I've never even got a GODLIKE spree in DotA before ( I lost to Han and Vin in that sense ) and ... yeah. Even today, I played terribly.

We played 2 games -

We kinda lost the 1st game and the 2nd game was where the drama comes in.

We were OWNING throughout the early and mid game, we thought surely, victory was ours.

The enemy had only two potential killers - Bristleback and Axe. The rest of the teammates were Silencer, Nightstalker and Lich ( left the game at the 10mins mark)

Our team consisted of Bounty Hunter, Centuar Warchief (me), Tidehunter, Necromancer and Bane Elemental.

Sure - we were OWNING, until the Bounty Hunter decided to farm a Divine Rapier, which drastically changed the tide of the battle. I helped the BH got his Aegis and we started pushing - we raxxed mid but Silencer had to buy a Gem of True Sight.

Bounty Hunter dies the first time - but that's ok, he had an Aegis.

We tried to push top but our plan were foiled, I don't know how - Axe, Bristleback and Nightstalker wiped out Me, Tidehunter and Necromancer. Bounty Hunter came and killed Lich ( hes ulti was used )and got hexxed by Silencer. They ganked BH, and was finished by Axe's ulti. Divine rapier dropped - Bristleback took it up and ended the game in our demise.

So yeah, that's about all.
Tata ! Signing off - Gene.

Another week.

This week has been a good week for me, nothing bad or nothing good happens - so I guess it should be fine. Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were normal school days - and one piece of so-so news : I completed my D&T artefact but...weather it will make the grades or not is another matter - still, no worries ! There's still the folder and the presentation boards to do !

Today I attended the annual school cross country walk-a-jog thing...yeah if you know me well enough, then I ain't the one that's gonna jog. So I walked the whole 3.8km - boy it was tiring. I know - 3.8km and I'm already tired - maybe because of the heat. It's seriously getting hotter and hotter these days. I don't even remember the last time it rained - a week or two back maybe?

Anyway after the " run " - I went to catch a movie all by myself; Kenny insisted that I watched "The Mummy : Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" but I figured that I don't kinda like watching these kinds of show - I'd rather go for something local like Money No Enough II or X-Files : I want to believe.

Seeing that Money No Enough II starting at a much closer time, I went to order a ticket for it and here's my rating now :

3.5/5 if you like Local movies and 2/5 if you don't really think high about our Singaporean standard.

I won't guarantee that I won't post any spoilers, so read at your risk.

Jack Neo's finally ran out of his humor as I don't really get much humor from watching the movie - but the drama covers up for that. Although some scenes may make you feel sad and cry, there are also scenes that makes you laugh. Compared to " I not stupid " or even " Homerun " - the humor is just bland.

Nevertheless - the morale of the story really hit me hard - [ SPOILER ] [ SPOILER ] [SPOILER ] In the name of Money; Mother is just another title [ SPOILER ] [ SPOILER ] [ SPOILER ]

So if you're an ungrateful brat to your parents, I suggest you go watch this show to do some soul-searching.

That's about all for my review.

Maybe I'll catch X-files next time, cause I don't see the hype for X-Files nowadays - The older generation won't get what's going on and the younger generation would stick with 'The Mummy : TotDE' or 'Money No Enough 2' .

Oh and some words to end the post ;

I am NOT your punching bag, nor for you to shift the blame at. Please respect me and treat me more like a human, not hit me and punch me as and when you like.

I have feelings too, and I don't make a fuss out of small things like a hard punch or any actions that you KNOW can cause hurt and still carry that action out - I'm holding my temper. What if my bone breaks or something? Even if my bone does'nt break - my feelings will. The image I once had of you changed into something so terrible.

Sure - you may see me as an IDIOT who won't retaliate when you hit me and look down on me cause it's All Talk No Action but I really don't wish to hurt anyone.
If there's anything it can be settled; Don't solve things by resorting to violence - it makes you look stupid.

Before I even recklessly retaliate - I am not so UNCARING and and CRUEL to think about the consequence - What if I ATTACK you without caring for your personal HEALTH, FAMILY and PRIDE. Sure, I may be irritating at times but did I even TOUCH you even?
Besides, it's pot calling the kettle back if I retaliated; YOU may think this is just plain old dumb fun - since you are my friend, I could HIT you, ABUSE you, HURL VULGARITIES at you, GET ALL COMFORTABLE with you but NO - You're just throwing my respect I have for you. I don't really wish to bear a grudge on YOU, I really don't.

I've been getting bullied ever since I entered my secondary school phrase - WHY are YOU making life so DIFFICULT and MISERABLE to ME ? I endured for 4 years and I'm still getting bullied - even a primary school kid picks on me, much less a secondary one guy.

Sure, heck care the previous few sentence if you want; I made my stand.

Signing off - Gene.
...I will persevere to reach my goal in life...
