And i m bowling thru out the year till Nov. and i stopped.
Looking back, i m ashamed of my boring 2008 life. Dont you think its freaking no life?
There are times that i really enjoyed myself. Like all the class gatherings, all the gang outings, all my solo bowling sessions. I think i enjoyed most of my 2008 though it may seem plain.
Of course there are torturing times also. Such as staying in camp.
I wished i had done something more meaningful in 2008.
May 2009 be a better year.

Watched Vantage Point, Death Bell and Untracable.
Nice movies.
Vantage Point: attempts to assassinate and kidnap the president.
Nice action.
Death Bell: Korean High School Horror. Questions were posted and if the students are unable to answer it correctly, one of them will die.
Untracable: Cyber Crime movie. Victim's death are shown live on the internet. The more people watch the faster he dies.

21 December 2008
Just came back from an insane overnight bbq at pasir ris park.
The last time wen went in august, i booked pit 65. We walked like siao cos its at the extreme end.
This time, i booked pit 27, we still walked like siao cuz alighted at the wrong bus stop.
nvm.. haha.
oops.. no pictures, i wasnt the camera man for the day.
So we had bbq.. bridged alittle.. then play this love fortune telling game..pretty funny i think. Everyone took turns to get their love fortune read, some are good and some are bad. yeah we used poker cards to do this thing. I know, its just some kiddy play, but its pretty scary when everyone watched you read your fortune.
Aiya, me and her can nv be tgt. LOL! i just randomly picked a female friend's name to be read.. haha.
We went on to play 'Mafia'..its probably 0806's ultimate favourite game. Most of us picked this up and played as a class during the genting trip.. in Jan 2008.
Mafia-ed for many hours and we went on to play some lame orientation type of games. And some IQ type of games. interesting.
When the sky got brighter we played charade.. also one of the favourite games. I rmb we played alot of this in school when we were preparing for Prelims and A levels. ahh.. those were the nice days.
Suprisingly, i wasnt tired at all till after breakfast at 9am. I remembered all of us collasped at 5am during our august bbq. But this time only some collasped.. haha.
Maybe the long night shifts hours got me used to staying up throughout the night.
It was fun, definitely.
I think i was acting like a total retard throughout the night. oh no.. i know what u r gonna say. 'Edwin IS a retard".
hm.. think i saw someone familar at the pit beside ours.

Needed a fresh look, so i changed blog template today. haha.
Neat looking eh?
On leave these couple of days. Nothing much to do..lol.
Spend most of the time watching J-drama.
Well, just finished watching 'Yasuko to Kenji' ytd.
The show focuses on a man named Kenji and his younger sister Yasuko, whose parents died in an accident 10 years earlier. Kenji was once the leader of a gang, but in order to support him and his sister, he began making a living as a shojo mangaka. His character normally wears glasses and appears to be a gentle guy, but he throws off his glasses and reverts to his violent side whenever he tries to protect Yasuko from danger. Part of the story follows Yasuko's romance with an intelligent and good-looking man named Jun Tsubaki. Jun's older sister Erika now runs a flower shop, but Erika was once a leader of a female gang, and she used to be in love with Kenji during those days.
Think you can watch the streaming one it here: http://www.mysoju.com/yasuko-to-kenji/
Quite interesting. Almost every episode is touching. or maybe i m too emotional..lol.

800th post!
Thank you all for reading 800 pieces of crap.
Started watching this J-drama titled "Yasuko To Kenji".
What attracted me initially was the title.
I remembered watching the School Rumble series and one of the characters was named "kenji" as well. And another character was named "Yakumo" & it sounds alittle similar to "Yasuko".
So, i began reading the synopsis and found this an interesting show. 10 episodes of 45 mins. Just completed 3 episodes. Think it's a very nice story.
It's about Oki Kenji and his sister Oki Yasuko. A big brother and little sister story. The Kenji in this show and Kenji in School Rumble are a little similar. Both looks fierce, they were from gangs, and both are manga artist.
Anyways, though i have only watched 3/10 episodes, i found this show quite heart warming and touching. Recommended.

hm.. haven update for a long time eh?
alrighty.. went out with the gang on 10 dec to minds cafe. pretty fun and i think 5 dollars is quite cheap and its worth it.
Just finishing watching another anime.
Ichigo 100% it means strawberry 100%.
Another high school, romance, comedy.
Darn.. makes me wanna relive my school days.
Here goes the story..
one day Manaka Junpei a wanna be flim director was at the rooftop of the school when suddenly a girl fall from a platform just above him and landed infront of him, and he accidentally saw her strawberry panties. L O L! ! !
Anways, it was love at first sight for him. And he had never see this beautiful girl in school. Later in the story he realised this beautiful girl is actually Tojo Aya, a nerdy looking girl with huge specs who studies in the neighbouring class. Tojo Aya was actualy secretly in love with Manaka.
Along the way in junior high and high school he meet Nishino, an extremely popular girl in junior high. For a retarded reason, both of them dated, and a love triangle formed between Tojo, Manaka and Nishino.
As they go into high school, Nishino and Manaka broke up, Another two girls join in the picture, Satsuki Kitaoji, an extremely out going girl and Yui Minamito Manaka's childhood friend fall for Manaka. So it makes a total of 4 girls and 1 guy.
The story goes about telling his encounters with 4 wonderful girls and his troubles in deciding on which to pick as his girlfriend.
well.. after 13 episodes + 4 episodes of OVA, they din say which girl he picked.
-.-""" wth man!!
I was hoping that he picked Tojo cuz she's really nice.
But according to the Manga, he rejected Tojo and picked Nishino 4 years after they graduated from high school. Ok la.. Nishino is also a nice girl. Actally each of them have their own favourable points.
damn.. high school romance.
huh? whats that? nv experience b4.. HAHA!
