Well, woke up at 7 today to use the computer, I guess i'll be online the entire day. Had a yogurt bar for breakfast and a glass of milk... As of this moment, the captain is feeling hungry... Cook?! Man, I have to give that girl a sharp wakeup call.. again..

Gave Bakcugan (I guess its spelt like that) a shot and surprisingly, its quite good, and unique.

Yawn, nothing much to talk about today, since I've been sitting here since dawn. But after chatting with Sparky, I feel like I'm an extremely lucky person. I have things that she doesn't, like a fast internet... One should hook up with, I wouldn't use less fortunate, god knows if she is any more witty than now... different people from different backgrounds. That is what makes us human, knowing others and learning with them without discrimination

Deja vu?

Ok, i had the weirdest dream yet. I dreamt that i was visiting my first mate's blog and remembered the contents clearly. When i woke up and checked, yup. It was there.

Furthermore, this morning, when i went out to throw the rubbish, opening the door to enter the house, i heard slipper steps at the lobby. But when i turned to look, there was nobody there. Guess what i did? Yup, being the brave soul i was, i dived into the house, shut the gate, locked the door and tuned the tv to its maximum volume..

Plus, I hate this.

It is stupid. Use your brains and post something meaningful or please don't post at all. I have no need for tags like that.

We should grieve for the Singaporean who died in Mumbai. She died a tragic death and was only one year into marriage, one can only imagine the anguish her husband had felt at the time. I can only gulp at this end, pursing my lips, wondering who better I can express what I felt. I don't think I can. It's almost like I knew her.

-Alson

As you can see...

As you can see, I've ranked people at that side. *Points to left column* Well, if you wanna be added into that column... What do you get?

_ Just heard_

One Singaporean just died a tragic death in India. I just... I can only shake my head, feel hurt and ask myself why? Why do these people do it? Right now, I'm hearing the minister talk about the event. He, on television, one can see that he is trying to maintain his composure. It is just so painful.. I have nothing to type.

____________

I don't have the heart to continue this post. Next time.

The Plank for ye! (I want my steak medium rare, thanks mate)

Right... FOUND the mosquitoes nest. Tis' at my fish tank! Pouring the water away... Bah, now my legs are all itchy... Noo!

Had instant noodles for lunch (Again). But hey, they ARE delicious. Especially if you put some other stuff inside. Sausages, couple of leafy veggies and crabsticks. (I love that stuff) Volia! You're set for a meal!

Wow, i mean, the terror attacks. I totally missed it over the bangkok events. As a result I made a fool of myself in a forum, one guy called me a 'fuckwit' and i think it was rather appropriate. I deserved that.

Money? Who needs money when all your wants are information? Well you know what they say, Knowledge is priceless. Darned right they are. Knowledge = Total pawnage +  Wisdom. Woo Rar, anybody want a double dose of Improved Mental Serum? Plus. Heh, got a piece of work that I'm very proud of.

The first thing I saw was this in Jessie's reply, "This sucks". Guess what I sent her? Yup, my latest work. Heh, I'm not hurt though, too surprised to do so. She did, however, give me some useful tips and grammar corrections. Come on. Why don'tcha all learn from her?  Aye, this sea dog needs a couple of truthful scoundrels around him aye?

-Alson

Captain on deck!

Clothes.

I have one shirt... I think it's branded, starts with a 'g'. Woah... It's the only outing clothes I have. It's expensive to me. Hey, I know some of ya have better clothing than this ole sea dog here. Most of mah clothes come from the pasar malam and I'm proud of it you hear me? P.R.O.U.D How many of you have only one branded clothing in your drawer huh?

Right.. had a thosai for dinner... Man, you've never lived until you had one of those. The one i had was at least a foot long. Practically overflows from the damn plate AND the plate is already one of those western meal's plates, those humongous plates.. Three different curries, sometimes a spicy yogurt. Spicy... I ain't joking me maties. Spicy yogurt..

-Alson

Mosquitoes, somehow or other, there always seems to be one at my computer area, buzzing around, trying to attract my attention. I don't really hate them, if not for the darn... itchy... stupid.. red spot they leave behind after they have finished their round of sucking. Imagine a guest, who comes to your house, breaks all the pottery, burns all your clothes and leave laughing. That is The Mosquito.

Today morning, i woke up to read the papers, expecting the usual, and what i did get WAS the usual. Protesters storm Airport, nobody leaves, government does nothing about it. PAD, the opposition, are just holding their land hostage. They know if that another democratic(note the satirism here) election was held, they will most likely fail. 

Dad rapes his two daughters. Also in the papers, he got a jail term i suppose. The gist is that he fathered seven children with his two daughters, kept them in a self made underground prison and never let them come out. He was only found out when he took one of his critically ill children to hospital and the staff was suspicious and i think they did a DNA test.

I don't know what drives humans to do this things. Crazy people do not seem crazy to themselves. We created a mirror for something, why not start using it now?

Ahh, on a lighter note, there is one article I found particularly interesting in the forums, apparently, this person was arguing about using euthanasia but in a very neutral way. He did not condemn or encourage the use of euthanasia, rather, stated why people do it. *Applause*

How to better your blog! Part 1!

Ok. This is my. My opinion on bettering your blog. Sure. A blog is for you to post your life on right? Wrong.

Firstly, people want.. Live Content.

Nothing, absolutely nothing turns me off a blog faster than finding the posts are two weeks inbetween. Readers can't wait that long. Remember, this is the internet, the fast age. Or do i have to spell it out for you? If i do, just dump your blog and go get cactus or something. At least THAT can wait two weeks till you 'update' it or something.

If people find that it is such, they can just click on the back button. Or load the next blog. It is that easy..

Rule one: Have at least 45minutes to use on your blog per 3 days. That way you'll find something to type about. Also, that is the minimum update time i can handle. Beyond that is Blue Cheese to me.

Rule two: For me, one~three photos do fine to me, 10... a lil overloading.. since the post is going to be damn long and it takes me no longer than 5 seconds to glance over them.

Looking for other rules? Well, thats it! You just have to dedicate at least, at the very least, 45minutes per one week, well, some of the more popular blogs don't update that often but thats for next time.

That concludes it for "How to better your blog!: Part one".
-Alson

Well, its 8 in the morning here and as usual, im playing TW.

Got trashed today by GRFC1 well, one must take it in good stride. People say that you meet all sorts of players online. Well, TW is one place where i can gaurantee you that those people will not last longer than a day. Here, its like a family. :]

I can't think up of what to write to Jessie! Well... Not really friends.. Its a lil compicated. The way we met was way different. VERY different. But im glad. That girl is well... just amazing. Most of my girl heroines are based on her. Imagine your perfect girl. Now add a pinch of wildness and a dash of creativity. Thats her. Absolutely crazy, wild, charming... i wont go on... But you get the idea. Luckily ive never told her about my blog.. She's not often online too... Will talk more on her next time. Maybe tell a lil past too eh? Reckon that girl got me into more scrapes than i could on my own. (If you know me you'll see how crazy she is.)

Was thinking of changing my blogskin, then thought better of it. Removing the ole song that has been there for ages. Yup, removed it. A little too big for my blog.

Protesters storm the Bangkok airport. Airport shuts down. In the end, everyone suffers. I don't know why people protest over small matters. Singapore doesn't, cause the goverment is smart enough to make everyone happy. The ole rule : Give people shelter, hot food and some nice things to do. And they will not give a damn what you do. I know i won't. :]

-Alson

Edit:

Well sent my message, reply to her. Lets hope i get a positive reply eh?

-Alson

Yeah. Tomorrow, study time. No distractions.

Well, in a train, pull out your earphones, listen to the sounds around you, other people's conversations. It is ever changing and extremely entertaining. Today, i overheard two gys discussing about girl's hair and how to better cut em.

Bah, China has beefed up its police at Mt Everest due to more visitors. Aye, the mountain might be yours but doesn't mean you have tah make your communist presence felt there too? Besides, i dont think they are just there to help visitors suit up...

-Alson (added new music, tell me if it pops up irritatingly or stops midway.

Urgh. Ok, some other time i promise you, i'll put up the tips. Placed under list of stuff to do..

Wow, Liz has reached 800 posts. Well, 80 here, we'll pop a few champagne bottles once i reach 100 eh?

Weell... i've hit on the downhill spirl in mah life. :) Not that kind of spirl, its like one with an amazing turn for the better. I can start gaming properly, opened a writer's block to my homework. (Although never really got down to doing yet.) And many others of such good things. Anyone believe in karma?

I muse.  WindWalker. Am i fit for such a title? A WindWalker saves others. To date. None i have done so. 

My defination of a WindWalker:

Saviour, destructionist. 

Growl.. I hate vam novels. Especially those that of ermm.. what was that name again? Twilight? *Spits* Urgh, now i coat my mouth with that foul ^*!! Destroys the notion of Vampires totally, curse you..

On other stuff. Heh, crushing newbs ain't my thing but now i know why people do it. Its FUN. Yeah, it really is, but not gonna try it anytime soon though. Gonna have myself hated...

-Alson

As you can see, i'm trying my hardest to keep this blog alive and kicking. Well, went for some frigging CC walk today ( You know, the one with all the aunties and such?...). Of course, a person like me cannot possibly be dragged out of the house unless for more important matters like free ice cream.

Overall, we walked the span of two bridges, 30min? 45? Im not so sure. But some how, im inspired to write down a slight story for it. It should encompass most of what i've seen. Well, when we reached the end, (Hortpark) Some gardening hub or other, it was quite nice, with all the stinking plants adding to the stench coming from the group, the aroma was quite refreshing.

Well, the story will be, hopefully, posted up next time, and for the next post, it'll be on how to write a better essay.

Watch this space if you want to better your english eh?

-Alson

well, before anything, a nod to rui xuan for that wonderful compliment.

Well, as i browse through various blogs, there seems to be a trend, you people post about your life. How was your day. However, besides passing comments, there seems to be no other form of deeper thought. What that interest me is how you people are going to attract others to your blog. My two cents.

Online presence

Whahaha! Joined the dark side of TW. Cool eh? But i think i wont be there for long, just long enough to gain exp. My eyes are very pain.. eh, anyone who wants a good game on your mobile. Contact me.

C&C3: Mobile

Urgh, huge dissapointment as it has quite few missions and a weak storyline. Plus, you can only defend the base. Nothing much. 

Rating:1.5/5

Sim City Metropolis

Hmm, quite good, but still doesn't allow you to craft your future, you follow a storyline. But has a varitiy of buildings to choose from so it should be fine. However, you only have limited places and you cannot place a road.

Rating:3.5/5

Need For Speed: Prostreet

Erm, this is quite ok i guess. Has a drift system, doesn't disappoint too much. Total 9 races, if you dont mind winning all races with the first car without much challenge then this is a game for you. Has >5 cars and 4 upgrades of 4 different classes to choose from.

-Alson

edit: Seeing your ex is painful. You gotta a wound? Rip it apart. Its how it feels. 

You love her, 

hate her, 

fear her, 

want her.

Got down to my math homework. To my surprise and horror, i managed to finish it pretty quickly, for one exercise. Well, from my unscientific research and one man's opinion suggests, having posts longer then two pages will likely drive readers off. Only allowing them to read the top for the start, skip the middle, and the end to get the whole picture.

-Alson

Yeah look at what i found in my mailbox

Hey! Well it has been sometime... How are you doing? You know me. I've been running around, basketball... Same ole. Well, its noisy here, can't really think clearly. You know my dad, plays the flute all day long. Reply soon kay?

-Jasmine

More or less its like that. :] Can't believe she replied. Thought i had to introduce myself all over. Lucky me! WHOOT!

-Alson

Lets see, what i want to soap up mah rig?

-Need For Speed :Prostreet

-Guitar Hero 3

....

Lolz, now with wifi on this phone, its more then possible to modify and play with the phone. UNTIL i get my PSP, this will be my gaming companion.

 Still, today has been rather annoying, had to be dragged along (I'm not joking my friend) to the appeal. Interestingly enough, about how much one can learn for the bickering of adults over a piece of paper. Social Sciences i guess. SS - Social Studies? Or Social Sciences? Social Sciences sounds more cool don't you think?

-Alson

Combat REport:

Ok, rundown for today.

-Cracked verification code for a game. :p no more paying to play!

-Surfed forums.

-Did TW

-Downloaded C&C3

-Did a lil writing

Well, basically, thats about it. However, will do more. Now going back to developing the adventures of Kyle and Teresa. Bye!

-Alson

Ohh yeah! Good morning ppl! Its now..9.06am at the time of writing and ive been gaming for one and the half hours.. not like i wanna to but there is still this damn crew i have to train and he's at 2% chance to level.. god, you dont know how sad that is... try rolling a 100 sided die in hope of getting 1 or 2.. wait.. now its 3%... Yay!

Sure. Bah. My phone comes with no camera so.. kinda handicapped. As soon as i figure out how to work this... camera... and a photo sharing website..

Caught this on TW chat.

Den: Hey, from the picture, what OS are you using?

Den: old windows?

Alec: windows xp

Alec: Vista=fail

Alec: Not to mention, this comp is old

Den: Seems sorta like a retarded version of windows 2000...

-end-

Man, tell me that i can use the computer at 3am and i'll somehow sleepwalk myself right to it. :P always works. Mah lil bro is even better. Anytime, the sound of the computer being switched on, (our computer makes a click noise, soft one when the 'on' button is pressed) he can wake up and start questioning on when can he use it. Within 2 seconds, he can switch to full lucidity, you'll probably be under fire from his words.. Talk about deprivation.

Well.. Idea is coming along fine. Nothing much to say about that, only that i noticed that it seems that only one person is at least reading the full version. Urgh, coffee cold.. can't blame it tho, its been 2 hours. Smells like chin chow. Checking out other ppls blog through Liz's, thanks Liz!

Either way, i went to icarly(you know that sitcom on Okto, i watch everything, yes. E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G.. barbie.. whatever.) to my surprise, its quite cool actually. Lame, yes, but cool. It has blogs, webcasts, random things..etc. I Wikied the thing and actually, its quite new. In 2007. Furthermore, the main lead, aka Carly, is 15 this year, 16 the next. Quite young i suppose. I like Spencer, the crazy dude. If you have the free time and bored, its quite a place to go actually.

Can someone recommend epic music to me? 

I'm using Google's Chrome(gotta learn to spell it correctly...), Its quite fast, i think it bases on the "what-you-see-what-i-load". Cause seeing some pages of which i load... Some of it has to be refreshed.. Signing off here, lest this post gets too long.

-Alson

Spores!

I got a new game on my phone, called Spores, honestly? Its great. You get to start from a small nothing, growing in each level(18), adding on modifications, such as teeth, spikes, tails. Just to name a few. Get to change its size(?), colour(10x10), texture(10)...etc. Problem is that.. mine can't upload to fight... noo..

-Alson

You know what? I'll never understand girls. One moment they want this, the next? They don't want it. Arghh.. Complex is an understatement. Before i say something wrong, i'll sign off here. As well as cool down. Calm.. umm... *Reluctant smile*

Subscription

For those who want to subscribe to my works (The earliest version will be spammed to your inbox ;p) Just chat me in msn. Somehow, this will fail.

Either way, to the main topic of the day. 

Laziness - pro? Or Con?

Yes, yes, Alson you knucklehead, OF COURSE LAZINESS IS A CON!! Ah, but wait. How do lazy people get things done?

Well, in first, lets use me as a non-scientific example (since i don't have 100 lazy contacts around the world, even if i did, 50% won't pick up their phones, the other 25% won't bother to reply and another 24% will just give one sentence or less and the last one probably isn't a genuine 'lazyzen')

Once, i read this story, about a fisherman and a merchant, the merchant was talking to the fisherman who was relaxing in his boat.

"Why don't you continue fishing?"

"What for?" The fisherman replied.

"Well, to earn more money." The merchant said, a little puzzled as to why someone would ask such a question.

"What then?"

"Then, you could buy another better boat to fish with."

"Uh huh. And?"

"Then you could make more money, hire more people to fish for you. And retire in luxury like me."

"What age would i be then?"

"Maybe 40, if you are lucky, or 50+"

"What would i do when i retired?"

"Well. Relax?" The merchant said, quite experated to as where this conversaton was going.

"Isn't that what i'm doing now?"

-

Well, as we can see, each side has its own side. While the fisherman decides to relax and enjoy life, he would avoid the hassle and the strain of running a business. He would live a simple and fulfilling life. But yet he would have to worry about the next day if there was a storm, would he have food on the table? 

Funny to as how life goes and guides, we all think about the future, never the present. The merchant, after over 30 years of toiling, could finally relax with the rest of his days streached before him. Like many parents, who toil hard for their children to have a good future, and their children would do the same for their own.

Life. Is it about the past, the present, or the future?

-Greg

Ohh.. The chalet was fun. Wulu is good!!! Lotsa maggie! Me lovies!

Well, how do you make others around you emo? Quietly musing on the secrets of life can hardly be counted as being emotional. But thats what people who do that are usually labeled with. Bah. Being emotional is great. Being 'high' and crazy is not. Thinking quietly to oneself is NOT being emotional. Its called maturity. 

What i really don't like is the way you guys go 'emo emo' like its some kind of sad thing or dangerous disease.

-Alson

Plus: Topic of the Day

Why do you work during holidays?

To work, or not to work. That is the question my friend.

Look ma! No hands!

RuiXuan says: hmmmm. a day spent with ur family or bestfriends or gfbf. and perfect weather like windy and not too hot not too cold LOl . either overseas or places u rarely go not like shopping centre or what. then do new interesting things like feeding sheep or milking cow AND GOOD FOOOOOD thats important. like food u have never tried before. and its nice. and not expensive. don have to worry about money, work, studies. no disputes and everyone is loving   What else. taking pictures of beautiful things and places. ya away from singapore is better. coz singapore is very stressful gives u stress. maybe go overseas where theres little pple.

   

Translation for normal folks: She doesn't like stress and would like to be away from people sometimes.

Ahh, sometimes, its good to be alone. I don't like the word 'emo', dont use 'emo' on me or around me.

Looking for co-writer, apply here!

Question of the day:

What would your perfect day be?
