Enough of all the seriousness of the Malaysian Elections, enough of words..
Let's just kick back and enjoy some cheeky while, thoughtful moments and parallels captured in this video clip ripped from the movie V for Vendetta.. Enjoy!

de-BESIH-ed
As the credibility of Malaysia's general elections take a further dip with the shock announcement to scrap the use of indelible ink with shaky reasons floored by the election committee earlier today, I just wanna say, "GOOD LUCK for Mid-Terms everybody!"

Of Happy Endings : Memories Off - Sore Kara~
I guess what really makes love novels so popular is their ability to involve the reader in the plot, in other words, make one feel as though one is experiencing the events in the story first-hand.
But sometimes it is inevitable that what the character does in the story differs from what the reader would actually do when faced with a smilar situation in real life. This gives rise to the many instances where the reader (or even spectators of TV dramas) to sigh in disbelief or even curse out loud at the perceived stupidity or childishness of the characters involved.
Perhaps it was playing on these reasons that we have the advent of games such as Memories Off 3 : Sore Kara after the Memories Off anime series. Some call it interactive story-telling, some refer to it as participative love novels, but they all refer to the same thing - a chance for you to have a say in what the main character does in the plot and hence possibly influence the ending of the story.
However, just like the real life decisions that such games try to simulate, these decisions are often marred in shades of grey instead of the ideal clear cut black and white, and yet, they carry very significant consequences ( well, in the game at least =P). I guess this is what gives such game their appeal. Maybe there's some truth afterall in the saying that human beings are not meant to be in utopia, as mentioned by Agent Smith in the Matrix movie - For those who do not remember, the failure of the robot's very 1st version of the matrix where a utopia was simulated was a result of human "crops" were unable to accept their existence in a perfect world.
Ok, back to the topic.
Due to the nature of the game, it's very easy to get sucked into the story as you feel a kind of "ownership" towards your own character(hmm, perhaps there is some link to the job ownership concepts introduced by Byham and Cox in Zapp! The Lightning of Empowerment afterall).
This inevitably results in strong emotional attachment to the characters in the story. Whether this is good or bad is controvertible, and it depends a lot on how you "play-out" the game. I have personally messed up the endings of a few games before like Fantasia Sanguo 2(until now, I'm still in denial and have yet to stop blaming CS for lending me a copy of a pirated version that's full of glitches =P). But luckily for me, I've so far been rather successful with MO3 and have already explored quite a few happy endings already. Maybe I'm more sensitive towards Japanese Schoolgirls' feelings than otherwise xD. Having said that, poooooor CS *gloats*
At any rate, one also wonders if these kind of games might provide a fatalistic perception to gamers about real-life relationships. Forgive my immaturity, but just let me off for this once for stereotyping that most people who play this game generally lean towards "nerdy, semi- antisocial" tendencies(that includes me and CS too i guess =P). More often than not, individuals from this group of people either tend to have "limited" insight into interaction with the opposite gender or they are fed up or are haunted by past experiences with the complexities of boy-girl relationships(BGR). Well, if so is the case, might just make matters worse.
Personally, I admit to being quite distraught at certain points in the game and on one occasion, I even had to take a break from the game to go bug Eunice's neighbor Stephie for advice =P.
OK. So the player is offered unlimited number of game saves, but still I'm not comfortable with using too much of those, as the more I resort to that, the more I would feel myself to be a failure in "life". Perhaps it's the man-being-incompatible-with-the-ideal argument all over again.
At any rate, this game was lots of fun for me, and posed quite a few points about life that I'd spend more time pondering over. I've had my fair share of happy endings from playing the game thus far, and just as the sad parts can really get you down, the happy endings are just.. well.. Happily Ever After*goood mood*. Maybe I'm just lucky, or maybe I'm just have a knack for virtual relationships afterall =P
Let me end this post with a thought that I've gotten while playing this game.
People say that happy endings do not exist in real life. But I feel it's just a problem of the frame of reference people use to view life.
For instance what if we consciously pick when to end a story in real life, like ending the story of your 1st start up company when it earns it's 1st million, or like ending the story to your love life as soon as you manage to woo the most popular girl in school? Then your life will always be filled with happy endings, wouldn't it? Contrast this with the common practice of "Oh, my venture into business was a failure. I had to close down after 3 years in operation". What happened to the story about how he managed to start his business despite all odds? What about the story about how he met and is now going steady with this girl that he met while starting up his business?
Sure, life doesn't end there as they do in novels or computer games such as this one. But..

Of animes - Macross 7 and the power to the music
Thanks to Eunice's anime-crazed bro, I got my hands on the Macross 7 series.
One of my favourite songs from the anime :
The story follows the journey of Macross 7, a space colony ship whose purpose is to colonize the habitable planets in space.
The hero of the whole series : (you'd be surprised) An aspiring rock band lead singer - Nekki Basara. This is one anime that really caught my attention and my liking. For one, it's not always about fighting in this anime. As a matter of fact, the hero abhors armed conflict and instead tries to reach the enemy's heart and soul with his music. Throughout the series, Basara only fired upon the enemy twice, but even those incidents are followed by feelings of guilt and regret on his part.
This resounds strongly with me, as a citizen of a multi-racial country that is at it's lowest point in decades in terms of mutual trust between different communities. It can be shown and argued that my country's current undesirable state can be attributed to a lot of factors, but one of it is the lack of sharing of culture among the races. If you think about it, it's not too much an overstatement that only the Malays attend Malay cultural performances, like the Dikir Barat, Wayang Kulit, etc. and similarly for the Chinese with their Chinese Orchestra, and Lion Dances, and the Indians with their own activities too.
Credit for this sorry state of affairs should be largely given to the presence of race-politics practiced by majority of the politicians in power. As for the reasons why these politicians behave so, they will be discussed in another post in some other time when I'm really that free.
For now, I feel that a lot more cultural exchange is needed between the races to really bring about a better sense of understanding each other. Pessimists and stubborn nationalists will probably be quick to point out that language remains a barrier for cultural exchange, but I laugh at their futile attempts to try and apply their flawed logic to the low showing of non-Chinese at musical performances like the 龙吟 Chinese Orchestra performance that was held in Penang last year. Even for performances which involve mother tongue languages, there are always the options of translation or even subtitles. I mean, come on, not having the slightest idea on the Japanese language has never stopped the countless number of people like me from enjoying intriguing anime series such as Macross 7, has it? On a related matter, when theatrical studies students from a local university performed a Chinese Opera episode in Malay in Stadium Bukit Jalil a few years back, how is it so that it received, minimal, if not no publicity at all from the local media?
In conclusion, there are many artificial barriers which prevent cultural exchange. But like the story in Macross 7 shows, even these barriers can be overcome, like how Nekki Basara used his songs to eventually touch the hearts of the seemingly heartless Protodeviln. And when there's exchange, it's not only that understanding of different races and culture grows, but the most important part of it is that maybe, just maybe we, Malaysians of all religion and creed, can finally find something that we can all enjoy and share, just like the Zentradi and Humans in SDF Macross and Protodeviln and Humans in Macross 7.
Idealistic thinking, you say?
Have you tried? I ask you.
I tried listening to Spanish, French, Tagalog, Thai, Japanese, Kelantanese and even Tamil songs, and I grew to really like some of them, perhaps music IS a universal language afterall and should be prescribed as the first step to wider cultural sharing. POWER TO THE MUSIC!

Birthday of a semi-charmed 21 year old and a 50 year old Russian satelite
Happy Birthday Xtine! For once our birthdays are fall on the same day! Gracias International Date Line <3 style="font-size:130%;">There goes my 21st birthday - technically another juncture in life - adulthood. Ok.. I guess my birthday this year went just the way I wanted - quiet, lovely and meaningful. I received a postcard of Madison, Winconsin's (that's near where Jacob is from.. I quite miss that guy =P) skyline from Xtine just the night before.. So I guess she's right. It really does take a WHOLE month and almost ~S$2 to send a postcard from the States to Singapore, and that I'm gonna feel so guilty about the postage that I'm obliged to reply.. (well, maybe just a little *angelic look* ) xD
Hmm, Eunice and I had a wonderful full-dressed-dining experience at Thai Express that night too (you get that when you know what's good and what's not on the menu *angelic look* OMG, where are my photos!?) I even signed up for a Thai Express Card - you know, the orange card-looking-thing-a-ma-jiggy which entitles one to 10% of the bill for future visits (20% off if it's within the same week), a 15 dollar birthday voucher, and a $10 general purpose voucher. And taking into account the fact that I'm entitled to a bottle of complimentary red wine if I spend more than 40 bucks there on a +/-5 day period around by birthday, I foresee a trip back there very soon *hearts*hearts*
..now if only I can somehow convince Chin Seong to treat me xDDDD
Oh, we dropped by Candy Empire and bought lots of.... *censored due to possibility of Tan Jo's captain reading this particular post, but you get what I meant* *angelic look* xD
I tried to declare 21st Tan Jo Day as a public holiday for everyone, but all I got from it was a missed tutorial on my part because I overslept the night before =P After that it was the way classes are usually - me arriving late every time xD Training was as per normal ~ minus publicity about the special occasion to avoid the need to fish myself out of the SRC pool after land-training. Dinner was at NUH today ~ technically the closest air-conditioned dinning spot to PGP. Ended up reminiscing to eunice about the good old days when I first went to Anderson Junior College - how laid back life in Singapore was for the 1st few months here - 3% GST, daily pilgrimage from college to the nearest town center in AMK, loads of fun hours chatting while digging into AJ Ice in AMK food center. For the uninitiated, AJ Ice or AJ mountain was this specialty 1-foot-tall ice kacang that the dessert stall uncle at AMK food center used to serve, which costs about $3.50 and takes about 3-4 people to finish.
Looking back, it's kinda ironically in contrast how the last few months of JC was so strenuous and tiring when we had so much fun when we first started out as students there. Anyway, as I was pointing out to Eunice, perhaps it's just all in the head - sometimes people tend to forget to go easy on themselves and really savor the experience of the other side of life that's opposite to, and sometimes complimentary to, working hard and pushing one's limits.
I remembered to make a call home to be briefed by dad about voting (>.> hurray?) and asked if mum and dad were planning to get a new dog - for those who don't know yet, my dear dog Barky just passed away a few days after I left Penang due to poisoning. Dad suspects foul play because we maintain a strict/healthy diet for him.. The poor thing.. I wonder who would do such a thing T.T
Anyway, he was a wonderful dog to have, and I was glad we had him since he was just a lil' puppy - refer to my 1st post in this blog for pictures xD I hope he's enjoying himself in his doggy heaven now - prolly a land filled with bones, chew toys, dog food and pairs and pairs of Dad's slippers xD
One last paper for sis who's sitting thru PMR this week - good luck!
Thinking of setting up a stall in one of the campus bazaars one of these days (OMG, the start-up fever is back again *reference to my not-so-successful-business-endeavors in JC. Any takers? xD)
Anyway, here are some recent photos, courtesy of eunice :

Well, I'm not. Happy birthday to you too you old thing. Although some may see you as the 1st peace of thrash which humans littered in space, most of us still love you XDDD

Time to go home..
Yup, 10 hours from now, I'll be on my way home. I can only start to describe how much I'm looking forward to this trip home.
Sure, I don't usually go back during recess week since it's usually filled with activities, like make-up lectures, Sava Sprints (an international dragon boat race for the uninitiated), and mid-term exam prep. But somehow all my lecturers this semester apparently cherish their recess week as much as we do, and all of them made it a point to finish their syllabus on schedule; Sava Sprints was last week; and I have NO midterms! YAY! ( courtesy of the slackest department in the whole of the engineering faculty - though it remains to be argued whether this is such a good thing after all : so much weight being put on finals ).
Well, let's just take one victory at a time and let others worry about their future while I'm busy loving my life ;)
Currently listening to Bonnie Tyler's "Holding out for a Hero", while watching clips from "Short Circuit" and "Short Circuit 2".. wonderful, wonderful movies - they really bring back memories of my childhood and how I was, in a sense, inspired by Johnny 5. Perhaps it was then that in my little heart I knew I want to be a hero, a worshiper of courage and defender of ideals.
"Life is not a malfunction"
Managed to stumble upon some clips of the 3rd season of "Ed" - a tv series I've been following for almost 2 seasons. Ed and Carol are finally together..wheee.. I feel like crying already..
"You are right. The girl I fell in love with in high school was that girl in the blue sweater with white criss-crosses down the sides who I've never talked to. That's why I chose to be with Frankie.. but a funny thing happened... Everywhere I looked, I see US, laughing, crying, arguing.. then I realize... I love YOU - everything about you now."
T.T boohooohhooo
Carol Vassey and Ed Stevens
Hopelessly romantic Ed
For all those who has never seen the series before (that's most of you all out there) and have not the faintest idea what I'm talking about -- I'm sorry. You'll never understand. Just let me share in their joy for a bit now... T.T boohooohhooo
