My dear readers, if I were to ask you all a big favor, it would be to see, read and watch this video :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKv7cw_Z1P4
DO NOTE THAT IT ONLY COUNTS IF YOU READ THE SUBTITLES FROM 00:01 ~ 06:13
READING THE SUBS HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND THE STORY BETTER.
This song gives me the goosebumps and makes me shudder tears and that's why I like it.
Saddest song I ever heard.
==
Quote from the song
" ...the 1st miracle would be you being born... "
" ... the 2nd miracle would be the time we spent together... "
" ...the 3rd miracle would be your sincere heart in the future... "
" ...the 4th miracle I do not need... "
Remember - If I have to ask you to grant me just a single wish - it would be to watch that video.

Goodbye.
...as I sit here reminiscing of the past, 11 years really flew past fast.
From the day I entered Primary School up till now - it all seems as though they happened just yesterday.
Time flies and it's going to fly even faster.
What will be the path that I lay foot to?
Where will be the point where I would reach my end?
==
As I bid goodbye to my halcyon days, ...I embrace the darkness inside me...resorting to the dark arts if I have to...
The.....complete.....power.....
My resolution...cannot be denied.
--
Goodbye.
I shall return after the war is over.
--
All Equinox meetings/outings shall be on halt for the moment.
I will not be bearing the sky ring anymore until I am fit to do so.
I shall not disgrace you, my dear Equins.
I shall show you that you are not being led by some idiot.
Nevertheless, fight alongside with me.
Fight.
I will NOT accept failure.
You have my trust and faith, always, my dear Equins.
Although...I won't be there anymore - but I shall return; if I ever prove myself worthy.

2 mind-blasting shows that will change the way you think. Forever.
Alright, here's something for my dear readers.
What do you guys think of when...
A person dies due to the burns on his head? ( Spontaneous human combustion )
The only witness of the crime scene was a young boy who claimed he saw the crime happened WHEN HE WAS SLEEPING ? ( Astral projection )
Can a person really die from (electrical) shockwaves when in a swimming pool?( Necrosis )
--
If you're interested to find out how Astral Projection, Psychic powers, Teleportation and premonition occurs, then GALILEO is the show for you.
( I think i've done a review on this before but heck )
GALILEO tackles most of the impossible aspects of the psychic and unknown realm by using science. So if you are interested in the paranormal and looking for an explanation of is the paranormal OR even be a skeptic and go along with Galileo that nothing is impossible, Galileo will SHOW YOU HOW TO PROVE THAT TELEPORTATION, ASTRAL PROJECTION AND PREMONTION OCCURS, USING SCIENCE.
Of course, there are PLENTY more weird cases ( there's 12 episodes up to date, each episode gives you a viewpoint of different power which you think the case is IMPOSSIBLE to solve. )
I'll give you an example.
How do you kill a person without even touching him OR leaving any evidence behind ?
Difficult? Maybe - but what they tackled was this.
How do you kill a person 100 FEET AWAY FROM YOU without touching him & NOT leaving any evidence behind?
I'll leave Galileo the Weird to answer that.
http://www.mysoju.com/galileo/
--
Another show that involves police and science would be KIINA.
Kiina is a very very very very very intriguing and this show IS BORN FROM FACT.
How does fish falls from the sky AND ACTUALLY KILLS SOMEBODY ?
Does a heart transplant really changes the personality of the person?
Do poltergeist really exists?
I'll leave KIINA to answer that.
Kiina is a 29 year old woman who plays a part in the police force, in a special department called IMPOSSIBLE DEATHS, involving getting killed by a ghost and the fish raining from the sky thing.
Everybody around here finds her weird and there's no need for her as nobody ( really ) takes her seriously, except the victim of course.
Anyway, both show uses SCIENCE to deal with PARANORMAL cases and if you LOVE science and the PARANORMAL, I would recommend these shows.
http://www.mysoju.com/kiina/
Happy watching !

MORE than 250,000 gaming enthusiasts thronged one of the biggest gaming and electronics fairs, Licence2Play, which was held over three days from last Friday.
After several days of gaming and cyberwellness talks, fans of the popular role-playing game MapleStory got to attend the official launch of its second episode yesterday at the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre. They also picked up goodies such as in-game vouchers which they can use to buy decorative items in the game.
Student Patricia Eng, 16, had been trying to download the latest edition of MapleStory since last Wednesday, but managed to get it done only last Friday due to the huge number of people logging on.
At the fair, she bought two limited edition prepaid cards, which translate to virtual cash in the game. 'I'm very excited about Episode 2. It's now easier for me to kill monsters and complete quests.'
A MapleStory charity auction, where gamers placed bids to win five in-game weapons, also raised $18,230 for charity.
The money raised will be split equally between The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (Singapore).
A director of a construction company, who wanted to be known only as Mr Yeo, 39, placed the highest bid of $6,950 to win a Dragon Purple Sleeve, a MapleStory in-game weapon, for his 13-year-old son. 'Any parent would do the same for their son as long as it's within their ability,' he said.
The first Licence2Play was organised by Sphere Exhibits, the lifestyle events arm of Singapore Press Holdings. Asiasoft GameFest 09 organised the MapleStory Episode 2 launch, auction and various other game tournaments.
Sphere Exhibits executive director Chua Wee Phong said the event gave parents a chance to gain an insight into their children's interests. 'Parents see that gaming is actually not as bad as they perceive it to be if it is done right. It is a very different world today and we must have outlets for these kids to have fun.'
Mr Teo Ser Luck, Senior Parliamentary Secretary at the Ministry Of Community Development, Youth and Sports, who opened the fair, urged parents to ensure their children are aware of responsible gaming. 'I think it's more important to teach children what are the things they should or should not see. But you also want to leave the choice to them.'

I know what you're thinking - 7000 SGD for a virtual item. Stupid? Maybe. It's for charity, so it's partially alright. Then again, for a virtual item :/
I won't comment.

Just to let my dear readers know, spending 7k SGD on a virtual item is ABSOLUTELY nothing compared to what happened a few years back ( IF I RECALL THOROUGHLY, DON'T BLAME ME IF I'M WRONG ) - There was one guy who bid like 20k SGD on a sleeve or something.
Anyway, shocking news, huh?

Asiasoft Gamefest 2009 & Famiglia updates
Alright, I'll start with the Famiglia updates.
The name for our Famiglia has been chosen ( by council of 5 (Elvin, Ivan,Sherman,Chuan Teng and Daniel ) and it's decided to be...
--Equinox--
Meaning :
The word is also used for the same event happening on other planets and in setting up a celestial coordinate system.
In astronomy, equinox is a moment in time at which the vernal point, celestial equator, and other such elements are taken to be used in the definition of a celestial coordinate system.
--
Anyway, since our Rings are associated to the Sky, Sun, Cloud, Mist, Lightning, Rain and Storm - referring them as Celestial would be appropriate...although the Famiglia name may change in time to come.
==
I shall now reveal the names of the Famiglia's guardians. It is currently 99% CONFIRMED.
Eugene Goh - Vongola Sky. Millefiore Sky
Elvin Chai - Vongola Cloud
Hansel Tan - Vongola Rain
Keith Tan - Vongola Lightning
Tan Chuan Teng - Vongola Sun
Sherman Tan - Vongola Mist
Ivan Chan - Vongola Storm
Daniel Ng - Millefiore Mist
Goh Kai Lun - Millefiore Cloud
Charlotte Lim - Millefiore Sun
Chen Jun Wei - Millefiore Storm
Alvin Low - Millefiore Lightning
Jovene Soh - Millefiore Rain ( UNCONFIRMED )
==
This.Is.Not.A.Game.
The Rings are just a symbol of my most Trusted.
==
With that written, I conclude this update.

Asiasoft Gamefest 2009
--
So I went to the Gamefest on Sunday, 25th May. Quite an interesting experience but I did not stay long, so I apologize for the half-written report.
I left my house at 5PM and met SOMEBODY ( actually 3: Sean (from 4-2), Faizal and that person ) at Yew Tee MRT station. Took the train to Jurong Interchange and then to City Hall MRT.
I went to take the nearest exit and arrived at Marina Square instead, then found my own way to Suntec using the REALLY LONG CUT. Either way, I got there.
When I arrived, I saw a bunch of people queuing up outside the hall for some maple items - I joined in the queue as well. Typical Singaporean :/
At first, they were really generous, giving you a Standee and a poster. Further down into the hall, they'll verify you and give you some coupons to redeem in-game items. I took the Pink Bean Cap ( maplestory ) and gave the rest to my friends ( there were coupons of SA, Audi, Rappelz and Cabal and whatevergamethatImissedouton ).
And this is where I was wrong - When I asked about the goodie bag, they said I had to buy 60k ACASH worth of Prepaid Card(s) to get that bag. I did'nt bring enough money with me ( In fact, I did'nt even know I had to pay ) - as it was FREE all along ( I went for all the maple anniversaries from the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and now the 4th ).
Anyway, I enjoyed myself nonetheless and took some pictures of the events, but the piece de resistance would be the Auction.
The following are what they auctioned off and the final price.
Maple Mushroom plush toy (ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD - or so they said.) - 370 used prepaidcards ( ppcs ), 3700 SGD.
Maple figurine tank - 260 used ppcs, 2600 SGD
Plushie collection - 600 used ppcs, 6000 SGD
Prepaid Cards collection ( ALL versions of the prepaid cards from start till now ) - 300 used ppcs, 3000 SGD
Maplestory Laptop ( This was a REAL EYE OPENER. Unfortunately, it seems that the specs of the Laptop are not so good. China brand laptop :/ ) - 500 used ppcs, 5000 SGD
A2 size ppc ( Yes, A2 size. Only 3 in the world ) - 1500 SGD
--
IN GAME ITEMS
Dark Neschere ( 5 x 10% ) : 530 SGD
==
This was where I left the event. Unfortunately, I was not able to stay long due to school the next day :/
The next item was a Ribgol sword, and I bet that could easily skyrocketed to 1000 SGD. All the items are scrolled to godly stats, and if I could recall, last year some guy bided 5k SGD for a godly Claw ( dragon sleeve, if I recall )

Family Name
Alright, since we can't get the name of our Family, maybe I should take the lead and decide. We'll go like this. We will have 5-8 people in the council which will have the power to vote Yes or Veto ( which means no ).
I will post the suggested name of the Family in my blog and you guys can SMS/MSN me to tell me your vote.
--
EXAMPLE ( 5 voters )
Suggested Family Name : ABCDE
A - Yes
B - Yes
C - Yes
D - Yes
E - Veto
RESULT : NAME TAKEN AND WILL BE USED, SINCE THERE ARE 4 YES AND 1 NO, MAJORITY WINS.
OR
A - Yes
B - Yes
C - No
D - No
E - No
RESULT : NAME WILL NOT BE USED AND ANOTHER NAME WILL BE PROPOSED.
==
That was just an example.
The voters are random - with a minimum of 5.
==
Hopefully this will settle things out.

ESSAY - Saturday Night
What started out on what I thought to be a boring Saturday Night turned out to be the otherwise.
It was unlike any Saturday; where my folks would usually go over to my relative's house to play a few rounds of Mahjong(I do hope you know what this game is). However, something cropped out and the visit had to be canceled - which what I thought would lead me to rotting in front of my laptop playing DotA and RPGs with my friends; but no, something in my mind and heart tells me that I'm not going to waste the night away. I have already been playing online games with them for the past weeks and thankfully that addiction is finally fading away - I no longer feel bounded to the laptop anymore, or more specifically, bounded to the vicious cycle of DotA.
I had thought of going fishing for the past few days already. What inspired me was my childhood days of fishing at Labador park with my father and from the catch reports I read so much about at a fishing forum. Something piqued my interest of fishing and here I am - ready to go to my destination - Kranji Reservoir.
I took my necessary items - cellphone,wallet and water bottle - and took off with my bike. The journey there was long and arduous - it was roughly about 8PM when I'm at the outskirts of my block. I started cycling towards the dark abyss in front of me - bracing myself for the scariest and creepiest ride of my life. Kranji used to be a battlesite and that is already sufficient to tell me that it's haunted by the martyrs of the pasts.
It was a long stretch of road in my view - I started to cycle like never before. The darkness drives me to keep cycling and my legs would not stop. I felt like I was running for my dear life ( or in this case, cycling ) - until I reached a bent. The road was now filled with foreign workers and they are all over the road - on the divider, the roadside and even in the middle of the road. I did not know which scared me more - the dark and lonely road or the road filled with foreigners.
At least, the road was much brighter due to the light coming from their dormitories and the factories. I cycled down the next stretch of road with a comforting sigh; until I reached a fork. I took the path left and cycled all the way down again. The numbers of people around me started to decrease and after a few minutes of cycling - I finally reached my destination - Kranji reservoir.
The sight there was absolutely breath-taking. I was on my bike on a platform that separates the seawater and saltwater. Johor, a city in Malaysia, lies in front of my sight. Absolutely brilliant - yet could be perfect with a shimmer of the moonlight, alas there was none.
I took a moment to enjoy the sight and prepared myself to head back home. A drawback was that the place is FILLED WITH MOSQUITOES SUCKING MY BLOOD. I took a sip of water and hurried back lest more mosquitoes come and infect me with their god-knows-what diseases.
Unfortunately, as the night is too dark OR my cellphone's camera is too lousy, I was unable to take a picture for my dear beloved readers. Fret not, I will try and take one in the day and post it right here.

I felt like I was running for my dear life ( or in this case, cycling ) - until I reached a bent. The road was now filled with foreign workers and they are all over the road - on the divider, the roadside and even in the middle of the road. I did not know which scared me more - the dark and lonely road or the road filled with foreigners.
At least, the road was much brighter due to the light coming from their dormitories and the factories. I cycled down the next stretch of road with a comforting sigh; until I reached a fork. I took the path left and cycled all the way down again. The numbers of people around me started to decrease and after a few minutes of cycling - I finally reached my destination - Kranji reservoir.
The sight there was absolutely breath-taking. I was on my bike on a platform that separates the seawater and saltwater. Johor, a city in Malaysia, lies in front of my sight. Absolutely brilliant - yet could be perfect with a shimmer of the moonlight, alas there was none.
I took a moment to enjoy the sight and prepared myself to head back home. A drawback was that the place is FILLED WITH MOSQUITOES SUCKING MY BLOOD. I took a sip of water and hurried back lest more mosquitoes come and infect me with their god-knows-what diseases.
Unfortunately, as the night is too dark OR my cellphone's camera is too lousy, I was unable to take a picture for my dear beloved readers. Fret not, I will try and take one in the day and post it right here.

Signing off - Gene. Hope you enjoyed the story :/ Based on a true recount.

[Mare Ring Bearers]
IMPORTANT EDIT !!
It seems that I missed out on one of the funeral wreaths - which means that there will be another person joining our ranks.
Ladies and gentlemen; I present you the FULL 6 FUNERAL WREATHS ( Byakuran is not counted )
Now it all makes sense ; Byakuran is SKY, therefore not counted, whereas his 6 guardians would take up the position of STORM,SUN,RAIN,MIST,THUNDER and CLOUD.
( On whom I missed out - The guy on the extreme right, the masked guy in some sort of cell )
AND IT HAS BEEN REVEALED THAT KIKYOU IS THE CLOUD WREATH? ( I need confirmation on this when it comes out )
Bluebell should either be RAIN or MIST..

Movie review : Angels and Demons
I WON'T post any spoilers here, so relax and feel free to read.
Alright, I've done a book report on this and now I'm going to do a movie review.
Firstly, I give this show a 7/10, or maybe a 6/10 if I'm strict.
--
Like the Da Vinci Code, the book is still lightyears better than the movie.
If you read the book - good for you. This movie gives you a condensed version of what the book is saying - with plenty of cuts; and I mean plenty.
A good thing of this movie would be that, as mentioned, they gives you a condensed version of it and you're left to find out the rest by yourself. They cut short your 6 hours of reading ( thats the time I took to complete reading the book, so yeah :/ )
and turns it into a 2 hours or so film - with plenty of loopholes inside. There's quite a number of bloody scenes in the show though.
The bad thing? For those who DID NOT read the book - you're in for a complicated time. Most likely, you will NOT get what the movie is talking about. Especially if you are bad in comprehending English, you will just be in a daze wondering about what they are talking as the scene moves on.
And for my thoughts, I think the producers or director is trying to turn this novel into a horror film - far from it's genre. Watch it and you'll get what I mean.
Nevertheless, it's still watchable on weekdays but I will not recommend it on weekdays as it's too over hyped and crowded. Nothing special really if you ask me, EXCEPT FOR A SPECIAL SCENE THAT ADDS $5 TO THE TICKET VALUE.
For me, if not for THAT scene, this show is better off paid $1 for the ticket instead of the usual $6 on weekdays.
Have fun watching !

NOT TAKEN YET.
( I wonder if it'll ever be taken )
--
Now the time has come for the following Mare rings to be given out (again, me inclusive :P)
Sign up ( SMS me ) if you want the rings, and yes, it's free.
It will be given out once the manga reveals its ring-bearers.
THOSE WHO RECEIVED THE VONGOLA RINGS CANNOT SIGN UP FOR THE MARE RINGS ( with exception to me )
Here's a picture of the six funeral wraths
From left
EXTREME LEFT -- MIDDLE -- EXTREME RIGHT
Daisy, Zakuro, Torikabuto, Byakuran, Kikyou, Bluebell
Alright, now for the specs and to whom I already decided to be the bearer.
Daisy - Free slot. Must be a girl, does'nt matter if you look like her or not, just be a girl. ( This should be hard to find >< )
Zakuro - The guy that looks all "stark-ish" and all. Attitude...like Stark ( from bleach ), or attitude that does'nt really care. Mare Ring bearer would be Kailun.
Torikabuto - Free slot. Big tall guy with the metal mask. Already decided that the Mare Ring bearer would EITHER BE JUNWEI ( if he accepts ) IF NOT A FREE SLOT.
MUST BE TALL !!
Byakuran - Guy in the middle below the tall guy. Leader of the six funeral wrath. Mare Ring bearer would be yours truly.
Kikyou - Guy with the ponytail. Not much is known, however, Mare Ring bearer would be Daniel Ng.
Bluebell - Free slot. Again, must be a girl. A short one too. However, unlike Daisy, this one shall be judge upon appearance, or to simplify, at the very least, have the same hairstyle as Bluebell.
Summing up - I have 2 free slots ( free Mare rings ) up for GIRLS ONLY and 1 free slot for GUY ONLY. If nobody wants the ring I'll auto-assign THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW THAT FITS IN TO THAT CHARACTER MOST.
UPDATE - HANSEL IS WILLING TO TRADE IN HIS VONGOLA RAIN RING FOR A MARE RAIN RING.
Pictures of Mare Ring
Currently, the elements of the rings are UNKNOWN - and who does the owner belong to.
I humbly request the Mare Ring bearers to wait for the stock to come in.

I don't think I'll have any problem with choosing the guys, but it's the girls rather. They WILL ( well, maybe ) think that this " is lame " or " childish " or whatsoever.
However I have another motive I have not revealed to my dear Ring-bearers yet ( Vongola and Millfiore alike ).
Don't ask me why I'm giving them free rings. If you really want the ring, SMS me and I'll see what I can do.
Again, you CAN and MAY think that this is childish and part of my fantasy world stuff - but I have an ulterior motive that overrides all that.

Comic update (kinda cute)
Apologies for my illegible handwriting ( its hard using mouse to draw ) , so I'll rewrite it here in detail
( Click on image to enlarge )
Slide 1 : Me and Dan on the left, Al and his girlfriend on the right.
Slide 2 : Dan says " New girlfriend? "
Al says " Yeah. "
Gene says " How you get to know her? "
Slide 3 : Al says " I stared at her...then she stared back...then we intro-ed and get to know each other..."
Slide 4 : Gene thinks that it's " worth a try ".
Slide 5 : Gene stares at her. She stares back.
She thinks " The hell ? Why is he staring at me ? "
END
