iTuned: "Burly Brawl" by Juno Reactor and Don Davis
As of Now, it's 13 hours and 17 minutes to Zero Hour on 2006. This has gotta be the worst feeling for some. School Reopens, Work Resumes making Stuff Pile up and all that g**d*** s***.
These are the final Moments of 2005. If You got stuff to do, go do them now. We're not getting our 2005 back.
Anything to Look forward during 2006? Sure, there is! The NextGen Console Wars will begin with the PS3, Nintendo Revolution and the cursed Xbox360! This will cause a flood of game titles in competition. Game Titles I'll look forward to will include Sonic Riders and Sonic the Hedgehog: NextGen. thus marking Sonic's 15th Anniversary. Metal Gear Solid 4 will also be a highlight.
iTuned: iTunes is Not Running.
I now own the BEST DS game Thus Far. Owners of the NintendoDS are strongly advised to get "Mario Kart DS". Everything about the Game is Cool. Read My Review Yes. It's 10 Outta 10.
I haven't got much Time for this. A Temporary Power Outage is gonna hit my block at 1300hrs. Curses.
iTuned: Updating iPod. Do Not Disconnect.

Yes, a Merry Blessed Christmas To All!
Today marks another personal Milestone. I now Hold an iPod.

Behold. I have thus stuffed all 699 songs (miserable, I know) and a couple of Videos in it. My Word, the screen is sharp as a knife. Videos are totally crisp. I simply Love it. Thanks, Guys.

Once again, Have a Merry Christmas!

iTuned: "Addicted to Bass" by Puretone.
Well, it's 10 hours and 51 Minutes to the Magical Day of Christmas.
That's all I got.
A New Strip has been posted on the hopelessOptimism page.
Click the Link on the Navigation to see it.
(No. I ain't posting it here no more.)
iTuned: "Feel Good Inc." by The Gorillaz.
Fellas, I got my Personal 404 Error page up and running. Woot!
Go Ahead, type whatever crap you want after "www.puff-x.com/". It's Fun.
Remember to add the slash at the end.
X'mas in 3.
iTuned: iTunes ain't Runnin', dude.
Microsoft has announced a good ol' Plug-pulling on IE for Mac. Which is Great News. I mean, which Mac-using Clown would want to use a third-party browser that has known problems for the PC? We Don't Need it and we don't want it. I Use Safari and I stick with it.

Humble Pie, anyone?
I've been delaying this for 2 days now. I have this strange feeling everything I look at it.
Here's a Scan of it. You'll know What I'm talking about.
iTuned: "Back 2 Back" by Hideki Naganuma, Teruhiko Nakagawa ["Original Groove Rush"]
This has been a really cold morning. I can feel it. Post-rain skies with no sun. We're on the Northern Hemisphere so It's supposedly Winter Now. At Least I think it works that way. So Cold...
iTuned: "Ska Cha Cha" by Hideki Naganuma, Teruhiko Nakagawa [Original Groove Rush]
...every Subject for N' Levels!! Oh no no no...I'm not dead, just Dead Happy. Very Very Relieved, although disappointed that we can't get the papers back (I didn't know that, okay?!). Aggregate Score is 6. I'm Worry Free now. I just have to face the O*Levels. Erp.
I got caught for an interview because I've totally improved from my Mid-Years and I was Top for something, English, possibly. A two-man crew of a reporter and photographer from 联合早报 interviewed me, Hari and my Dad in school and a Photo shoot followed. I believe that's for tomorrow's paper. Yeah. I'm totally uncomfortable doing interviews, especially if it's in my dreadful command of Mandarin, thus the '5' Grade on the Slip.
I have no worries now and that is all.
(Note: My Results Slip has been cropped for Security Concerns. Take That, you Forgers!)

X'mas in 6.

X'mas in 7.

Students who have Taken the N' Level Examinations will receive their results on Monday, 19 December 2005.
Note that this date is TENTATIVE. The actual date will be announced on TV and in the newspapers
2 days before the date of release of results.

(Source: My Enquiry Reply from the MOE.)

I'm Worried Sick. It's that Examination "How? How?" Feeling.
iTuned: iTunes is not Running.
If you thought David Blaine was Amazing, then Cyril Takayama will blow your mind. You ain't never seen any Crazy Sh*t like these. Cyril Takayama is a Japanese-American who does Street Magic just as David Blaine does. I love the one where he plucks Fresh burgers off a Menu Image. Another one is the longer video where some Freaked-out prediction takes place with Darts and a Dog-tag.
You don't have to understand Japanese to understand the Tricks. Magic is a Universal Language. Although, Cyril does add in English from time to time. Just a guide; when the audience says "すごい" (su-goi), it means "That's Amazing!". You'll be too once you're done with those videos.
iTuned: "Shake Your Coconuts" by Junior Senior.
This is the Fastest Vacation I've ever felt. There's only less than 3 friggin' weeks left to school reopening. Curses. I'ma gonna wake up at 7am tomorrow and start my day.
An Insult to the Brand.
And "Boo" to Creative Technologies for creating a FAT 5th Gen iPod equivalent. The (ugh.) Zen Vision:M
I'm gonna do a quick Comparison and I'm sorry but that's just the way I am.
The 5G iPod, holding 30GB, being 1.4cm thick and weighing in at 136g, boasts "15,000 Songs or 25,000 Photos or 150 hours of Video"
The ZenV:M, also holding 30GB, but is 4cm thicker and is 27g heavier, gives the same "15,000 Songs" but "120 Hours of Video" and I have no idea what "Tens of Thousands of Photos" is. Give a Number, man.
Did I Mention that the damn thing supports PCs only? Where is the Love?
Sigh...Be more Creative, do new Speakers or Something.
iTuned: "Do You Want To?" by Franz Ferdinand.
Looks Like I've met my greatest challenge yet. Carl's Jr. Burgers are huge. I can't get my Trap to open big enough to take a bite. It's a Great Burger Joint Though. Outrageous prices, yes, but where else are you gonna get such big burgers at such prices? Those things are approx. 18cm in Diameter. Huge extremely good. They Make Burger King burgers look like Kid's Stuff and McDonalds' Look like crap.
I'm done with the Main Stories on Sonic Rush and I'm left with the Extra Stage. The Last Chaos Emerald was very tough.
iTuned: "All Rise" by Blue (Disbanded).
FINALLY! I've got the godforsaken archives fixed! There's a big gap from May to August. Can't fix that yet, that's another issue.
Enjoy whatever I said in the past. Go. Scoot.

Dead Line, Dead End.

Sonic Rush has to be the most Challenging Sonic Title I've Played.
"Dead Line", the 7th Zone for both Blaze and Sonic has NO Checkpoints! Either that Or I'll perish before I hit one. Mind you, that's a long distance for a single checkpoint. But I got 22 Lives. So that Ain't Big a Deal. I'm 76% done with the game, with 5 Chaos Emeralds and 6 Sol Emeralds. Back to work.
Hope you guys like the X'massed Navigation.
iTuned: "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth.
Well I'm here just to say that another intro has replaced the previous short-lived intro. Reason? Because my Safari Browser got stuck with it. A Fault, so to say. And If I can't see it, others may not either.
I've replaced it with a X'Mas Greeting Thingy. And I'll wrap things up here tonight. It's 9pm.
See Ya'll.
iTuned: Nothing Playing.
Rain's Over, but a new rain started in the House. I have a Can, or rather, HAD a can of Pepsi Blue which I kept on my shelf with all my other commemorative Coke cans. The reason why I kept it is because that drink was sold for a limited time here, and I decided to keep one to cure my "collectioning" habit.
Today, it leaked. Ending it's 32-month shelf life. Gross. The photo shows that can now in my Trash Bin.
Let this be a lesson to ya'll. Only Keep Soda Cans meant for Commemorative purposes. Normal Aluminium Cans won't cut it.

You may notice as of my last post, that I have this Green iTuned thing in the beginning of each post. It'll show whatever song I'm listening on my iTunes. It's not a script though, i just type it there.
[Erased for Post-Update Redundancy]

(Note: I have Nothing against Pepsi. It so happens that drink caused a mess today. I Drink Pepsi. Life Goes On.)
iTuned: "Hi Hi" by Puffy Amiyumi
Okay, I'm Going nuts listening to the entire theme song from "Hihi Puffy Amiyumi" over and over again. It's totally addictive.
It's Heavy Rains Now. Scary Thunders.
I've been busy this week. For one, I'm having a great time with Sonic Rush. I'm almost finished with the game's main storyline. For Two, I've been announced as a HabboX (Habbo eXpert), an official post where I help new habbos and show them around blah blah blah. It's a whole bunch of new responsibilities behind a shiny HabboX badge. But it's really cool. Believe me.

I know many won't understand this one unless you heard No Doubt's "Hey Baby".
So If you need references, check the song lyrics. Ciao.

This one is a little anime-ish. Gwen Punches J.D. Funny.

Well, I got a new Monitor. It's a Philips LightFrame™ that comes with a 3-year warranty. It'd better last. I'm still getting used to that New Appliance Smell. It's a lot smaller, compact, if you will, than my LG predecessor, which, duh, is good. No Fat Base to clog up space for my Wacom Tablet. I'd just say it looks weird. I reminds me of something but i can't quite put my finger on it.

"Sonic Rush!"

And It's Finally Mine! My Most Awaited Game of the Year. The Graphics are Totally Sweet! The Soundtrack is an unbelievable playback! It's TOTALLY different from the Gameplay Movies! It's Totally Mine! Yeah!
I'm all pooped out, so I shall bid thee adieu.

This is one of my favourites. I had a chance to draw myself wet.

Situation Update: My Dumbass Monitor gave up and went down on me this morning. Time for Maintainence. I'm using the iBook for now. This has no Dreamweaver on it, so Updates on other pages might pause for a while.
Hopeless Optimism, however, will continue to be drawn and published. Thankfully.
In other news, My Monitor's Brok- whoops, mentioned that already. My iPod's delayed but at least I'ma gonna get the fastest game ever this Sunday. Sonic Rush shall be in my Hands! I downloaded a copy of the Limited Edition Sonic Rush Soundtrack, "Original Groove Rush", I burned it down and made a cover to go with it. It's the original design of the CD, but I added a track list to it. The Soundtrack is Awesome. It totally fits the game; Fast.
All in Due Time...
