song summoner for ipod

I was so surprised when I found out that Square Enix was going to release an RPG for the iPod Video and even more surprised when I finally got my hands on it.

The short: It's Final Fantasy Tactics, but watered down by a lot. Like coffee at UCSI's North Wing where I work (consider this as a food review too if you must). The important difference is that it's the FIRST RPG for the iPod FROM Square Enix and it doesn't suck.

My thoughts on the game so far:
1. Playing a tactical RPG (tRPG) with a click-wheel is not impossible or horrible. It feels right.

2. The idea of using your songs to create Tune Troopers - your army to battle evil- is damn cool... My Goldfrapp tune made me a pretty strong archer!

3. I absolutely loved Final Fantasy Tactics, so the whole idea of playing a tRPG on my iPod is heaven for me.

4. The game art is beautiful, English dialog typical.

If you have access to the iTunes Store, have an iPod Video and love Square games as much as me, go buy this game! It's only $4.99 (RM16).

It's still freaking unbelievable they ACTUALY did this. Kudos to Square Enix!

in the middle of the night

Total opposite of how we are 9-6 everyday. I can't imagine how bankers take the whole office scene. Give me a camera and 2 actors and I'll gladly come up with a short right now.
*FYI, I am sitting in the office for most of the week.

Which reminds me. I have been toying with 2 ideas recently:
One about love, and the other about a love for women. I can't decide which is more interesting. No, actually I do know. Maybe when I have the chance, I'll get started on "Bird Watching with Ah Wong"

A public poll while I still have your attention!

Are you so desensitized that you are looking for the next shocking, provocative, challenging-all-that-you-believe-in thing to give yourself a little excitement? Yes, I could mean anything right now.

meet the bitch

The Tan's bitch - Pretty the Poodle - is very, very cute.

So I had to take some pictures of Joyce's new do. First thing on my mind was "oh my god, under my umbrella betoi"... But it's a nice change considering that I have to put her through torture each time I have my random hair style changes at the whim of the chick that cuts my hair.

On to more important things.

Before I forget, if you're sick and tired of the shit on radio, please do yourself a favor and go listen to the The Raveonettes.

Ok, on to the important thing.

I think my self imposed "interestingness meter" is really kicking my blog in the nuts. Nothing seems to get published nowadays. It's getting worst that I was at Urbanscapes last week with my camera and did not take a single picture. I met tons of people there though. Yes, I'm looking at you and you and you and you (and he saw me there).

I think I'm bored. Maybe a change of pace would help. Disappearing off, starting all over, new people, new surroundings, new things to wake up excited for in the morning. There's just too much politics going on and I'm not even talking about anwar or mahathir here.

So I'm working on something new, a pet project. It might work, might not. We'll see if that does anything to stir this cesspool of a creativity.

work work work

I think I've moved forward as much as I can (and done enough infringing on Disney's rights).

As of late, I've been working on some changes which should reflect a more current me.

More soon...

blondie

Have you ever heard of the one where a Malay girl tells a Chinese boy that his boss had influenced him so much to even the way he speaks? But he replies "when you're in rome..."? Then there was a pause, and she replied "well, finish your sentence"?
(note: read with upward inflections)

Well anyway, that's not the story.

Some of you who live in Menjalara / Kepong / Selayang / Damansara would know of this place called Neiji Sushi in Menjalara near Barkath or DePastry Chef. Well, the following conversation happened there.

"So what would you like to drink?"
"Hot green tea for me"
"Ok"
"and cold green tea for me"
"So you want ice with that?"
"huh?"
"Yeeaaah, with ice..."
"So let me repeat your order, two hot green tea, one with ice, one without?"
"..."

Damn lame right my life? Jokes also not funny

what's new in the room

I have finally gotten 2 things for my room - a mirror and spotlights. We both definitely are meant to be bros, our timing is immaculate.


It took me more than 6 months to get a mirror in my room after my little revamping last year. I have been mirrorless, so that justifies why I look liike shit some times.


The spotlights are just a perfect addition to the room's lighting, providing a studio-ish feel which I would've needed to renovate my ceiling for if I wanted to be 'proper' about it. But for RM159, I got the same effect with minimal effort. This picture is obviously not doing it justice, but you get the idea.


iPod Shuffle that I got for RM99 at Subang Parade. A coupon led me to it, but the real shocking thing was not even that I needed to line up for it (first 50), but that the store is owned by one of our country's badminton stars. Which for the life of me I cannot remember his name at all. People are diversifying now. So air stewardesses: why don't you actually charge for the sex?

a fish's full tank

I've learned to shut up.

...but first, let's rewind to a few hours before shall we?

Have you ever been in a situation where you give some advice to a friend, but it (I rather not specify she or he, anyway it's easier than typing he/she) replies by saying stuff like:

"Yeah, you think I don't know is it?"

"It's not as easy as you think..."

"I can't do it..."

And the next day it comes back to you and starts to sound optimistic saying that it has changed it's mind about things after talking to older, more about it's problems. In this case, age is the only thing that is defining maturity to be specific.

Fast forward to the present - I decided to just be happy for it and shut up. Really, I am.

like souls, heaven bound

Torpedoing out of control.

I like the whole idea of slowly, being lifted up to heaven. It brings a nice end to one's life doesn't it? After all the tossing and turning here, it's peace at the end.

The coupe de grâce of falling action

I've been enamored with the sky recently. You feel like you're almost able to see God. Like a fish looking up from the river to see those eyes falling back at it. The tiniest connection between 2 separate beings for a moment and then broken by nature.

I like eating fish tho'. I heard they're good for you.

uninteresting, interesting, singapore

I realize that I have quite an unhealthy affection for Topman now, it's the only place I really want to go for clothes


*aahhh* yellow journalism in action. At least they have catchier headers.
"Why bother with any of the news in the front?
Why not just use the biggest font size to cover up everything?" - right?


Futurama is back with a straight to DVD feature. I'm not sure if they're really coming back to TV, but I'm just too lazy to wiki it


Marks and Spencer is awesome


I can ride while taking pictures if anyone's interested


The Aeroline bus was so worth it when I found out that they had a "lounge" area. More pictures of that later. You just have to know it's like sitting in a really big limo. But better, because of the toilet

meet my new bosses, christien and lavin

If you've heard, yes it's true.

I will not be continuing my current semester due to me taking up their offer, which after careful thought, is really a good offer. I will be working with them mainly on their upcoming film but the full job description is still up in the air. It's definitely not making coffee and taking in the papers.

So for the next four months, I'll be sharing my working experiences, behind the scenes of making the movie and a drip or two about life with the celebrity couple. For now, I'll just be waiting for 12th to come.

p.s. I'll miss you guys at college. Don't worry, you'll still see me around. My office is at the new wing and I still need to have lunch.
