    ANGRY!!!

    I realised that I was being strangely moody these days. Easily noticed from my last blog.
    I'm feeling lonely, angry, snappy, emotional, depressed, all sort of bad things.
    I don't know whether it shows in person or not.
    What's going on with me?

    Here's the random thing for the day:

    THE ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERD
    (hmmm for some reason I can't find the text colour palette)


    He's basically just doing reviews of very very old video games. Way back on Nintendo, Sega, and even Atari.
    Sounds normal right? Well, here's the thing. He only review bad games. VERY VERY BAD games.
    If you watched some of his reviews, you can understand how awful some of those games are.
    And what makes it more interesting is this 'ANGRY NERD' character that he made.
    He always get angry when reviewing these games, and he swears... ALOT.
    Some people dislike this, but thousand others found it so amusing, including me.
    I've watched most of the reviews more than once, and I still got good laughs for it.

    He can even be considered as an internet celebrity now.
    With his videos he got in to the top 10 most watched videos on youtube.
    He got legions of fans everywhere. Even in Korea!
    Don't be fooled tho. Even though he's all angry on his videos,
    he's actually a normal guy who loves movies and video games.
    I've been watching alot of his non-angry nerd videos and they're pretty good.
    Go to his website to watch them.

    If you're a gamer or just interested, go watch his reviews. If you're not, then don't bother.

    Hmmm, now that I think of it, maybe I watched his reviews a bit too much. Maybe thats why I'm so snappy now.
    like... 'Bloody hell!'
    I say that alot nowdays. That's not good. Now my colleagues even made it as a quote... *facepalm*

    Bloody hell...

    That emo guy you know is back.

    death embrace After a very long time pausing this, like.... more than one year?... Finally decided to waste more of my time blabbering away in a blog. Hope everyone's doing ok. Pretty sure there's alot of you guys who are struggling in life. Hey, I'm struggling too! Whatever!

    So anyway, even though I'm writing here again, doesn't mean it'll be interesting. For most of the time it will be just random stuff I'm thinking about. Or posting some random crap I've found, be it on the net or in real life.

    Got a new phone with a camera see... I think it's called ericson or something. I'm too lazy to check right now. Who cares, it can snap some photos, play music, store images, and what's best, I can call on people to annoy the hell out of them.

    Do I sound rather annoyed right now? yeah I am actually. Why? Gee I wish I know why. Lemme see... I guess ya can say I'm in one of those friggin moodswing of mine. Yeah, I bet that's why. At this moment, I've put my msn nickname as 'warning: I'm a retard who cannot take jokes.' Seriously. If you've known me for quite a long time you know this. I cannot comprehend whether someone is just kidding or being serious. To me, even if they are kidding, pretty sure they really mean it even just a tiny bit. And me being a retard usually take things in exaggerated ways. But I just keep it with me. Yeah... it's a nice way to fill my angst. Nice and slowly.

    I also realized that I cannot connect well to others. There's this wall I put between us. Other people move on. I like to stuck rut in one place, never to move on, stay rotten and die away.

    EMO ALLERT!

    hahahaahhwuahwuahuaahhaa

    Oh and if you found the picture I post to be disturbing, it's because it is.
    I think it's intriguing.
    yea I drew that.
    Stop complaining.
    It's called art dammit!
    Don't you know everything can be called art nowdays?
    Even a roadkill can be called an art!

    okay I think thats random enough for a new entry for so long.
    and whats the point of blogging if there's no one to read it?
    and comment on it?
    so cmon, post some goddamn comment!
    Feed me!
    I'm an attention whore... on the internet!
    GWAR!
    bye!

    PS: Today is April Fool's day. But I'm not typing this shit to fool you guys!
    Now scram!

    Hi everyone! Its been a long time since I updated the blog. I almost forgot all about it. I was focused on college work and working on my church’s yearbook. There is so much to talk about but I don’t feel like talking (writing) these days. Anyway, I’m finally finished working in Swinburne Design Centre this Thursday. It’s a bit sad that it’s finally over. I kinda like the place… Good office, reliable workmates, and kind managers. I realize that even after a year in Design Centre, I still have a lot to learn and improve. I still make errors once in a while. I guess it’s a lifetime learning process. We had a party on that day. We went to a nearby pub to celebrate. Me, being passive only ordered a few drinks and rarely talk. I did talk abit with a few mates, talking about what each of us are going to do after we finished. Some will go back to their home countries and some will try their luck here. As for me, I’m still not sure what to do honestly. I did think about applying that special 1 year course that I mentioned sometime ago. I still need to talk about it with my parents and friends. I’m really concerned about my parents. I’ve been studying for like, what…. 5 years. It’s long enough. But if I think about it, I guess it’s the same as if I’m taking the Masters course. If I do take the extra course, I might be able to go back to Indonesia for vacation.




    PS: It’s so friggin HOT today! Like 37’C!!!! And they told me it could be worse… I noticed that it’s a bit foggy / dusty as well. Apparently there’s a bush fire that’s happening somewhere in Australia, and that fog I mentioned is actually smoke. The fire started naturally due the extremely hot weather.

  • I’ve worked overtime again today. But its mainly because I’m shaping up my design process journal for one of my subject which due next Wednesday. I have booked a consultation session with the teacher tomorrow, so I have to prepare everything as ready as I could. I’d say it’s 55% done. I can’t wait till all of this is finished so I can concentrate on my PR and other unfinished stuffs.

    It was finally my turn to lead one song as a worship leader last Friday. I was so nervous, even though I had all that practice last week. The problem is that I need to say some things and not just singing. I’ve memorized these few sentences so that I have something to say, but when the real thing starts, my mind goes blank… and I forgot about everything… man, I was so embarrassed. But it went okay at the end. I’m so relieved.

    Congratulations for Lukman and Lenny, two of my church seniors and friends who finally got married on the 28th of October. May God bless you two and may you two grow more in His name! I was in charge of the video recording at that time, but I can’t say that I did a good job. I was a bit late because I had to fix my tie. I’ve managed to record the start of the ceremony. The ceremony started at 4pm and it went for one and a half hour. After that comes the dinner party, which took place on where we usually held our weekly Friday Church Service. It was quite a feast. I managed to grab some foods while recording. The batteries ran out quite fast so I had to switch to the cables, which means the angle of the camera is fixed on that one spot. There weren’t much of power source available at the time since most of them are used for lightings and other stuffs. We managed to clean and decorate the place quite well. It’s an old building but the atmosphere is quite good with all of the decorations. By the time the party finished, we need to bring back the stuffs that were in the hall. Its quite tiring but since there are a lot of us working together, we managed to put them back quite fast. I'm gonna post some picts of the party when I get my hands on them later .

    They are killing my childhood!!! AAAHHH!!!

    What’s the deal with the tokusatsu now days?!  The latest Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Kabuto had some gay snob bishonen as the main character, always babbling about what his grandma said to him. Like, yeah so? My mom said I need to finish my college and find a job! So there! Oh I missed the days of Kamen Rider Black, the best Kamen Rider series in my opinion. Kotaro Minami is the best!


    And now we got Lion Maru G… Do you know what the G stands for?..... Gigolo! No, really, I’m serious! Its GIGOLO! (noun, male prostitute) So the main character is a gigolo… WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO THIS WORLD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I must admit tho, the costume design isn’t half bad if you’d compare it with the old (very old) version. But man…. A gigolo… I wonder what’s next? A group of sentai consisting of crossdressers? IT’S A TRAAAAAAAAAP! *sigh* I’m gonna cry and built a bridge and I’ll cross it…

    (the old Lion Maru costume, way way back)

    edit: looks like I was miss-informed by my hosemate...-_- I did some wikipedia and turns out that the G stands for Ghetto... not gigolo.... So why did I bother to write up all those whinnings... Oh well..., but still, looking at what wikipedia has to say, I think the main character is complete crap...

    GYAKUTEN SAIBAN2 IS HEREEEEEEEEEE!!!!

    The moment I’ve been waiting for…. Oh! The Joy!!! Phoenix Wright 2 has finally been released! O YAAAAAAAA! I’m in the middle of the 2nd case right now, and I must say it’s getting better and better! Gyakuten Saiban is the Japanese title for Phoenix Wright, and what I got right now is the bilingual version, so you can change the language settings into English (OBJECTION!!) and Japanese (IGIARI!!)Some new stuffs in the second game includes the new lifebar system. In the first PW, you’ll be given 5 lives, everytime you make a mistake on the court, you’ll get a penalty, (ie one life gone) Five penalty and it’s game over. This time they changed the 5 lives into one set of green ‘lifebar’. I thought the idea sucked at first, but then I noticed how much the lifebar depleted when you made the wrong move depends on how crucial that part was. Another new thing is the Psycho-locks. It’s kinda off a little but, its crucial in the evidence gathering. Whenever someone is lying / hiding the truth from you, these lock and chains showed up. You need to give them solid evidence that contradicts with what they are saying, just like in the court. You’ll even get ‘hurt’ whenever you’ve provided the wrong evidence. One last thing that I noticed that you can now show the people’s profiles both during evidence gathering and in court. So far, I’m in the last part of chapter two, which takes about 2 days (5-7 hours of gaming) for me to go this far. Other DS games that came into my interests are the Magical Starsigns, Children of Mana and Contact. But Phoenix Wright comes first! MWAHAHAH!

    Today I’ve set a new record working in Design Centre. I’ve spent more than 12 hours there on some projects. There’s one that actually needs to be done before tomorrow and there are a lot of mistakes to be fixed. My contact lens got so dry and my butt hurts from sitting down for too long. A work colleague lends me her eyedropper, knowing I had an eye problem. I have to admit though… I’ve been treating my eye badly. Ever since I start wearing contacts, I’ve rarely put them off. Sometimes even for more than a month… Yeah I know that’s crazy. I hate the feeling I got whenever I put it on or off. I can’t really explain it in words but yeah. I should fix this bad habit of mine.

    I finally went and met this agent who can help me deal with my PR. Unfortunately it doesn’t look good for me. Even if I end up getting a job – which is below 10% he says – there is no guarantee that my employer will give me a sponsorship. If I decided to take cookery, I have to spend another 2 years in college, studying something completely unrelated with design. There is one other solution though, which is quite strange. There is a design foundation course called IDEAS which course runs for a year. It teaches you the basics design skills, which I already learned 5 years ago. It’s kind of pointless but the weird thing is, it will give me 60 points for my PR. That’s a huge point for something so basic. I’m having my doubts on this but I’ll give it some thinking... Should I take this course for a year? Or should I try getting a job despite the odds? I’m going to contact my family to discuss this after I’m done with this entry. Speaking of which, I better end this now, since I’ll need all the rest I can take today… Been a very tiring day…
