yugioh update
i've been using undead synchro since september 2009 ban list, and i'm quite satisfied with the deck. one of the best deck available so far.
tested and tuned for 3 weeks, now my built has fixed and just minor adjustment to suit the metagame accordingly every week. i wanted to play vayu bf but undead is more of my style in the normal singapore format (japan format).
6 common decks:
- undead synchro
- gladiator beast
- vayu black feather
- lightlord
- metabeat
- twilight
recent result:
30/08 - 3rd
05/09 - 2nd
12/09 - scrubbed
19/09 - 5th
21/09 - 3rd
26/09 - 3rd
as you can see, it's very disappointing. i just failed to make it at the top T_T
and akira is on hot form with his twilight beat, though he scrubbed more than me >.<
plotted a graph to compare my result with his. (i didn't join on 29/08 and 13/09.)

gaming
yugioh:
joined 3 tournaments since the new ban list.
- 3rd
- 2nd
- died in swiss
used undead synchro for all 3, still haven't found a built that i feel comfortable with. may change deck.

warcraft III:
recently i started playing war3 again (not dota), not as good as before (expected).
but kinda disgusted by the quantity of the orc on bnet, out of 10, 6 are orc, 3 random --> 2 orc. blademaster is very irritating. the critical is game breaking.

dental shit
i know there's something wrong with my wisdom teeth for quite sometime, painful and disturbing. spoils mood, and lost temper easily. pms huh?
since my parents are going to see a dentist, i just follow and to fix my problem. i'm mentally prepared to remove the teeth. get it done before i fly to aust. and yes, it's teeth not tooth.
and so yesterday morning, visit DR wong who happens to graduate from uni of queensland in 1985. my senior lol.
he checked on my problem and recommend to remove the wisdom teeth on my right both bottom and top. the bottom is the one that is giving me all the pain. did a 2D x-ray scan and realised that it seems to be touching the nerve which is dangerous. did another 3D x-ray scan for $250 !@#$%. the distance between the tooth and the nerve is 0.06mm ~_~"
i still carry on with it, so he applied some med in my mouth then inject 3x on the right. told to go out and wait to be called again while he attended to others, while i get the numb feeling. i fell asleep and saliva flows to my chin. lol and i can't feel anything. my parents went for lunch, while i went in for the surgery. he placed some tubs in my mouth and started working on it while the nurse assisted. i still can feel the pain, so more injections. as the surgery carries on, i think i've more around 14 injections if i miscount.
during the process, i open my eyes and look at both the doctor and the nurse (this jie jie is not that pretty, maybe should have listened to my friend to visit those whereby uni students are interns.) 6 equipments in my mouth at a time. i can see their gloves turn bloody and the drills are crazy. i can still feel the pressure and things fly out from my mouth as he drilled. after removing the bottom tooth, the doc sewed up with disolvable treads, and i felt like in the movie "saw". -_- as he was still sewing which took quite long, i reached to my pocket for my phone and wanted to take a pic. but i forgot i left it on the table so that i can be as comfortable as possible. so yeah, no epic photo taken.
this is what happened after the visit.
after the bottom is done, the top jus took less than 3 min? lol. he forcefully pulled it out. T_T
the doc was complaining that i didn't open my mouth wide enough, which i can't control my jaw properly after so many injections.
went home with medicine, spit blood out every min. nothing new to me as i always experience this from nose bleeding. right side of the face is swollen, and i used something to attach an ice pack to my face.
like this: (retarded right!?)
and here is my teeth, doc was saying i've big teeth.
trying to take a pic of the inside
something for me to spit into placed beside my com

i'm angry
joined so many tournaments, and how often do you have one that starts on time?
who should you blame?
the organiser? for not following the time it will start which he stated. but he earns more money when he waits for more participants.
the players? how many actually reached before the registration time and start time? everyone just abuses that the organisers will wait for their entry fee.
just for today, i planned to join the tournament in khatib which states that it'll begin at 1430. and by 1445, i asked the organiser when is it gonna start, and the reply is nothing new "there's someone who is still on his way, 5 more min." i didn't want to put his name here.
so 5 min after 5 min... and i went up to the organiser again, and the reply is "5 more min, maybe u can call him."
i waited another 5 min, apparently the organiser didn't even know what time is this "king" gonna reach. i've enough, so i just collect back my entry fee from him, and walked off. before i did, i can tell from the list that, many had not paid the entry fee yet. this is another problem, it's so common that players love to drag the timing and unwilling to part with their money when they've already written their name on the list.
to this dear organiser, if you think you wanna please that 1 friend of yours and let everyone waits, you just pissed another friend of yours. and if you think you can earn that extra $5 from that person who is not sure what time is he gonna show up, you loss that $5 from me who is already there waiting for the tournament to be started.
-----
now go on to those who just love to fly kites...
every time i go to elizabeth to catch arsenal's game, you people said you'll be there. and not a single time that everyone who promised to be there will all show up, there'll always be one or two who just said they don't feel like coming. just yesterday, i walked up to elizabeth alone because one by one sms me that you don't feel like going. (and i know one of you had said that you mostly won't make it because of other committment, i don't blame you.) every week, i'll receive sms just an hour before we're supposed to meet that someone is not coming.
not just watching football, just last friday when i supposed to meet 3 people for movies. someone sms me just 2 hours in advance that she didn't feel like going.
now it brought back memory that there was this once, i was suppose meeting 3 people for movie.
i took a train from cck to bugis via jurong east, and when i reached tanjong pagar, one smsed me that she didn't feel like going out and told me to inform the rest because she was afraid the rest will be mad at her. i told the other 2, and one got mad and didn't wanna come. the other was disappointed too, so it was cancelled. so i changed train from raffle's place to marina bay and then all the way to cck again.
give me a reason why i shouldn't be angry at such people!

adebayor hate club
i've created a thread on arsenal singapore forum, adebayor hate club.
sold to manchester city before the start of the season, for $25 millions.
quote from arsene "they've bought a great striker, and we've got a reasonable price."
i agree...
he's a good striker, but what he did last night is totally disgusting.
1st, he stepped on fabregas's ankle when the ball is already not there. i will give him the benefit of the doubt that he didn't do it on purpose, sometimes just late tackles.
and then... he stepped on robin van persie's face?
and i STILL convince myself that it's another accident. but of course the whole elizabeth was crazy by then, P.S. the jie jie and mei mei were very vulgur.
after i watched the replay for 3 times, i can't believe he did it on purpose. the way he turned his body, and he lifted his foot to the height whereby it's clearly with intention.
it left robin with a bloody face, and it's so close to his eye.
and the night got worse when adebayor scored a goal as well. -_-
he ran 90 yards to the other side of the field, and slide in front of the arsenal supporters. he received a yellow card for that. i regret to speak up for him when arsenal fans are talking bad about him, wasteful in front of goal, loss the ball too easily, leaving for money etc.
even fans of other clubs feel disgusted by him, click the link, and look at the comments as well.
one of the chant:
~~ we've arshavin....
~~~~~fuck adebayor~!
----------
adebayor aside, manchester city 4-2 arsenal.
arsenal is really bad last night, there's no momentum, and lack of the spark which usually provided by arshavin, walcott, nasri, and rosicky, who were all injured except rosicky came off the bench after sidelined for 16 months. and take nothing away from the home side, they played really well. solid in their defence, close down fast and well.
and again, almunia made a mistake which led to a goal. he's good, but not good enough.
van persie's goal is a real class, not to forget he finished by his weaker right foot.
diaby was having his routine off day, just simply inconsistent.
and bendtner looked as if he didn't deserve to play in the EPL, he's a centre forward who is good in the air. but arsene is always playing him on the right (this season). when he has no pace on the flank, not skillful enough to beat the side back, doesn't have good crossing ability. even he himself admits his best position is centre foward. the only reason i can think of for placing him on the right is that, you want to play the ball to him from far whereby he's good in the air. when you're playing at the side, u usually will go 1 on 1 with the sideback and i'm sure he can win the ball most of the time. but what's next? he dribbles and losses the ball, or just ends with a poor cross. probably someone should just claims the ball from him after he received it and bendtner himself moves into the box. i just miss walcott on the right~

Beyond The Game
Beyond The Game, a documentary on grubby and sky.
alot of interesting scenes.
both of them have girlfriends who are behind them all the time, and of course ppg who travelled around the world with grubby for his tournaments.
grubby & ppgit's not easy for their girlfriends to accept and support their occupation. not to mention parents, probably they'll only 'understand' when they win their prize money and getting famous like some movie stars. but how many people are there to reach that standard, and there're so many people waste their youth on such dream, even drop out of school just to play it.
when i saw sky's tears after he lost to creo in wcg2007 final, i also felt like crying. although i've seen this scene Nx, i still can feel the heartache. a dream to 3 consecutive wcg gold medals...
i remembered when my friend phoned me about the match after creo won it, i just didn't wanna believe it. "u're bluffing me..." i didn't wanna believe sky lost, until i saw it online with my own eyes after i booked out.

Ashin's epic quote
during the concert,
"怪兽，10年了。看来大家都变心了。连喊L.O.V.E的声音，都那么弱。我听说有些人跑去挺5566，飞轮海。有的跟F4跑了。还有些，去听苏打绿。"

finally it's the mayday DNA concert in singapore.
actually another performance was added on 28th, and li xin phoned me on that very morning (i was still slping) that she had tickets. but i didn't go after all. $60, didn't expect good seat. she told me on the next day that they shifted seat to lower row right in the middle. omg! chin teck and i were full of regret. but i was told later that both were almost the same.
anyway on 29th, met up with li xin in douby ghout for dinner then took a bus to indoor stadium. happen to see weilin and.... i can't remember the other guys's name >_< (forgive me!) i know some of my friends will be going to the concert too. saw chin fong there before i went in, and took a pic with her. she had tickets 5 row from the front. OMG! "i'm not selling it to you even for a 1 million dollar." the entrance is good, a video is shown about them trying to escape from their daily life and steal john lennon's DNA. while escaping with a taxi, later on a real taxi was rushing out from the top and the concert started. the stage is nice too. 10th anniversary for their 1st concert.
entrance video:
follow up video:
chin teck went high right from the beginning of the concert. lol...
i like the part when 恋爱ing was sang in jazz. they sang many other old songs too.
concert ended at 12:20am, time for me to rush down to elizabeth hotel to watch manchester united vs arsenal which kicked off at 12:15am, was suppose to meet up with ji sheng and gong, but i didn't expect the concert to end that late. i jogged for around 2km in order to get away from the crowd to get a taxi, really don't want to miss the match.
end up the result is disappointing, arsenal lost 2-1. arsenal was the better team that night even ji sheng admitted (he's a manu fan who wore a manu jersey in an arsenal fan club) diaby's own goal is unexpected, he headed into his own goal from giggs's cross under no pressure from anyone. as for almunia's foil, yes that was a penalty. and i shall not go into referee's performance. the match ended with an epic scene off the pitch when wenger was told to walk off. he had no where to go but to walk up in front of the manu fans and stand, which later i read online that the chief of ref sent in an apology to wenger.
renew and collected my new membership card.
had a drink with stella before taking a night rider home.
