Crazy Monster Madness.
New York: Great Place for Disaster.
Last week... well I was/is still busy for the couple of days back with an assignment I had/am having. So, last week I caught Cloverfield. Alright, I guess. I suppressed my gag reflex long enough to see the movie through. It's shaky, Everyone says it is. Everyone knows it is. A few would crack and storm outta da cinema.
The movie is about a monster that hits New York kinda hard. Why New York? Why? I am Legend (DVD awaits), Armageddon, The Day After Tomorrow... why New York? Prime location? Bah, Hollywood.

I signed myself into Facebook from certain peer pressure a couple of weeks ago. I'm less lost today than I was then. Why am I on Facebook? Even I don't even know.

Electronic GAME: Western Bar.
When Drunk-looking Cowboys were cool.

Casio's Western Bar: (from left) Closed, Open and Display Off.


I flipped through a local heritage site called yesterday.sg and found a part of me that was a part of them. A game called Western Bar, an old Casio LCD Game Handheld that has been with my sister (then, me) for the most part of our lives. It's a Western shooter game. Like yesterday.sg puts it, it's really noisy too, so there's some tape stuck on to muffle the sound. Thankfully, I found out today that ours is still a working lil' machine (circa 1990). It just needed batteries. But the 'Start/On' button is spoilt and you have to reset the batteries to rev it up again.

The game starts off with you as a beer-wielding cowboy in a bar. You have to shoot through glasses, grog jug-bottles and plates flying across the bar as the crazed (bored) bartender throws them. Shooting a glass, bottle and plate with a sigle shot gains you a combo score. To make things interesting, the only other 2 patrons will get annoyed by your shooting and start throwing apples and hats at you. If you're hit, you get a MISS. 3 MISSes and the game ends. In later levels, a stick of TNT will come flying in from outside. Shoot it and it explodes. MISS!

Soon after, footsteps will be heard. A burly looking nogooder steps into the bar. Showdown! You crouch behind a up-heaved table as he hides behind the counter. He comes out and shoots your shield (table) and a piece flies off (3 pieces before you're defenceless). Shoot him before he does three times and he runs for it. Hurray, Cowboy!

That's basically it. I remember playing it with gusto. We only had a Game Boy brick too heavy to lug around back then. Those were the days...

Battle of the MacBook Boxes!
Only on Pay per View.


On one side, there's Dan. Holding a box in a non-descript shopping mall. On the other, there's me. Holding a box at home in my very room. Who has the MacBook? Do both of them have one? Or are both of them carrying empty boxes? The suspense is unbearable!

Katsudon: A Haiku.
17 Syllables, please.

Pork Cutlet and Rice. Very delicious you were.
I feared the Expense.


This crazy faced-sized bowl of Genki Sushi's Katsudon takeout I had a while back cost $12. But it was oishi. Fueled my crave. Yum...

Whoops. 2007 Ended.
Happy New Year
So it's 2008. Nothing much of a difference. As I learned from "The Number 23", Time is but a number; a measurement. It's been 2008 years since the approximate time the Lord was born. It's a number for convenience. Anyway, 2007 was okay, I guess. The best moment of 2007 was that week we had in Perth, Australia, followed by my successful enrolment into Temasek Polytechnic.
The worst moment of last year was the 3 month (in total) period I had to be hospitalised for an infected sore. Ouch.

New Year's Eve was fun and delicious. Went to Coca at International Building. Ate our fill. Went out along Orchard to mess with the crowd. There were cops everywhere. I've never seen such security on public street, all for our safety. There were barricades set up so that (drunk) revellers won't dash across the street and get run over by traffic. Intense.

2007 didn't give me enough time to support procrastination. I'll post my stuff I was supposed to later on.
Slept at 2. Woke at 11. I need lunch. Happy 2008.
