Existence: 6547 days Feeling Old.
I am finally Legally an Adult. I'M NOT YOUNG!!! AHHHHH!!!
I got the Japanese Version of "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney" (逆転裁判 蘇る逆転 Turnabout Courtroom: Revival Turnabout!). Cool Game. Makes you feel smart as a lawyer, without the qualifications of a lawyer. Sure, loopholes abound (How did I know the dead Model brought the Clock with her?), but it's a really cool game. You get to shout "OBJECTION!" thru the mic... call that not fun?

Went to a place called Melbourne Mull Ben for dinner. It's a place in Ang Mo Kio known only by word of mouth. I really didn't expect a Coffee Shop Restaurant for a place with such a name. There was a Queue but we had reservations before our hour-long wait for the meal. They say they cook in batches and we gotta order everything in one go, extras will have to wait. Well-worth too. The Food was good. What else are better than Crabs? (Lobsters, maybe, but that doesn't count) Nice...

Thanks for the greetings. I'm officially 18.

(I'm writing this on the 30th because no time last night. Gimme a break.)

Living for 6573 days Feeling"Older"
This is my last 3 hours being 17 years old. Let's see what worthwhile things I've done while I was 17.
- Created Hopeless Optimism (56 Strips and Counting)
- Passed my "N" Levels
- Tuned up and graphically enhanced Puff-x.
- Got my Sonic Fanart posted on Sonic Channel.
- Made the Frontpage on Friday Weekly (Something which I want to forget).

Non-worthwhile (a.k.a. nonsense) achievements include
- Completing 5 DS Games
- Saved cash on a Lego iPod Dock
- Created Hopeless Optimism
- Ranted on Gameaxis Unwired that editor Battousai noticed.
- Did what I wanted to do was fun.

It's been a great year. It won't last long now.
Spelled "E-i-g-h-t-e-e-n".
License to Smoke, Drink, Drive (not at the same time), Gamble, Club and watch Gorier M18 Movies.
I Exist. 18 Years. 6574 days. Tomorrow.

Front Page Headlines, this Morning: "Apple pays Creative $158m to settle Lawsuit" and Creative has also earned the rights to churn out "Made for iPod" accessories. Imagine. Power Speakers for a Power Portable (er...That's Creative's Speakers with Apple's iPod).
This is big news. I'll admit it here. I'd like to see Apple and Creative to fight for market share of mp3 portables. I'd even like to see Apple and Creative pushing Microsoft's Zune off the pie chart. Microsoft came in waaaaaaayyyyy too late to war with these guys. Singapore and Cupertino (along with other minions of rival companies) are already doing that. Probably only Microsoft Fanboys will get those. Yeech.

And... Pluto is officially no longer a planet, kicking it into the list of dwarf planets. So we (scarily) have only 8 planets. What foolish mortals we are. New information that changes our past, present and future. Oh my. We Lost Pluto. Then again, who are we to say what these are? We're just ants on a blue sugar ball.

I'm conveniently taking another break off hOP. Exams.
So go through my current 55 strips and enjoy them.

Fresh from the Sony Ericsson Themes Creator is the Official Psychedelight Theme! Made for the (i.e. My) Sony Ericsson T630.
I might wanna post it up for download, I might not. So There.

Also, I totally forgot to post this photo up.
This is a Smint Box, that I snipped up to contain 3 DS Cartridges. So this Internet DIY thing actually works. But I'm not using it due to concerns of Cartridge Damage and Possible Mistaken-for-Garbage cases. Credit to Jim Youkin via Gizmodo/Kotaku

New TV on Wednesday.

Living for 6564 days Feeling"Tubeless"
We are gathered here Today to send off Sir Philip Cathode into the Ages. He has served us for many years and is one who doesn't complain. If he is asked to change, he will abide as he is told. As time went by, so did he age, and as his aged condition worsened, he began to lose and regain consciousness. Alas, at around 7.28pm this evening, he passed away.



Er... yes, it's a Television. A very old Philips 27" television. I made the name up. but still, he's gone. I last watched "The Fugitive" on HBO with him. His remote, of second descendant, went out just a few weeks ago. So I presume we're getting a new TV soon.

Oh, and I turn 18 in 10 days. Goody.

Living for 6563 days Feeling"Yay-ed"
I have no tuition tomorrow, so I don't really have to wake up stark early in the morning for once.
I did my Physics Remedial Practical today. I was given the most peculiar component for this electricity question.

That's a "Variable Resistor". Imagine that. Cardboard + Zigzagged Nichrome wire = Variable Resistor. Sorry, I'm new to seeing this. I just found it funny. The paper also stated that "The Circuit has been assembled for you". Wrong. I had to fix it up myself. Hey, this was done outdoors no complaints.

It's only an hour or so away from tomorrow, so I'll reveal my plan now. I redesigned Hopeless Optimism with New Character Designs and layouts, but the guys are still the same. I'll upload everything tomorrow. You're gonna be seriously needing a 1042x768 resolution monitor now.

I love the Nintendo DS. It's a one of a kind handheld console. I still have my original DS, with the intention of getting a DS Lite. Whoop, not anymore. Recent cases of cracks on the hinges pulled me back. Nintendo's offering to fix them free of charge, but it may only apply in the States. Today, that intention is gone. I'm sticking to my Phat DS, because smooth plastics really isn't everything. Avert your eyes, children. This one's from Kotaku.com. User says that it was fine until it actually happened, without "a scratch, crack (or a) dead pixel". It's now literally hanging by a thread (wire). A DS that's 45% smaller is not worth this.

See, now there's your problem... (Kotaku.com)

Living for 6555 days Feeling"Post-Panic"
Yesterday I noticed my blog was half gone, with no posts showing up.
I thought it was because of the scheduled outage that blogger had. WRONG.
Not too long ago, I checked my template that suddenly had an abrupt ending. I think I hit "Delete" when I clicked "Save Template Changes".

Moral of the Story? Do what I do. Backup your template code. That's what averted disaster today, because you'll never know when your fist of a finger would smash different keys.

Had something different for breakfast. A taste of Fictional Totalitarian Britain. Egg in the Basket, as seen on the print-to-screen, "V for Vendetta", although not ever mentioned in the graphic novel itself. This photo was taken before we ruined the poor thing. We had another with a leaking yolk. Needs work.

and as the console wars rage on with the PS3 and the Wii yet to stand out, I found out something. Why play games with extremely realistic graphics if we already know it isn't? We have yet to hit anything that is as real as reality, but i wouldn't want that. It's just a game. No, I'm not an activist. Just don't want crazy people doing a "Grand Theft" on the streets subconsciously.

Tomorrow's National Day and all. Dunman Sec's National Day Observances uncannily similar to last year's and the year before that. Nothing much new, really. Why fight with the from-a-soundtrack vocals of National Day Songs? I believe our Band, if capable of playing our National Anthem are well as capable of playing "We are Singapore" instrumentally. I'm not complaining, but I'm not impressed by a familiar programme like last year's.
