Tough Week

seriously... it's been a tough week, and liverpool's loss doesn't help either.

SOCCER
I think it's pretty much official, I hate Rafa Benitez. Not because he's a terrible manager, but because he plays with Kopite minds so badly. He makes us think that we're going to be big and finally knock Man U off THEIR f***ing perch (e.g. Champions League Istanbul, 3 consecutive wins vs Man U), and then he goes right up ahead and trips at the finishing line (Getting edged out by Man U, loss to FULHAM!?). so yeah, I'm fed up with Rafa and I'm deciding which manager is suitable to replace him.

RECENT EVENTS
Up until now I was pretty pissed at the fact that virtually everyone around me was in a relationship. But as of now I'm starting to see more people around me who have experienced breakups. And the results are just terrible. I've seen just how backstabbing some girls can actually be and after seeing horrible aftershock effects I'm starting to question myself on whether I really want to be in a relationship or not. I'm just really confused right now.

Angsty teen is angstyplz

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!! CHICKEN CANCER!!!!!!!!!

BACKGROUND
So school's just finished and Enoch and I decide to stop over at Admiralty KFC to get a bite after a gaming session of Big Two. We ordered pretty much all we needed for a decent meal and Mohan, being the generous friend that he is, gives us... what you say... extras? and by extras I mean a Bandito Pocket and two extra Snackers. It may not sound like much but I had already ordered one box of snackers and an ultimate value box. Enoch got the UVM and cheese fries.

THE INCIDENT
The bandito pocket has all sorts of weird sauces inside it, so I assigned that to Enoch. He stopped after a full box of cheese fries, the pocket and one piece chicken. So I was left with... 2 pieces of chicken, 2 shroom burgers, 2 small mashed potatoes, a bunch of fries and shared winglets and popcorn chicken (aka the other 2 snackers). After the meal(s), we felt kinda groggy so we had a checkup and this is what we discovered...

DIAGNOSIS
Enoch, having eaten about 1/2 a chicken, was diagnosed with stage 1 chicken cancer. I, having eaten approximately one full chicken, was diagnosed with stage 3 chicken cancer.

Wait...WTF IS CHICKEN CANCER?
Cancer, as you may or may not know, occurs when cells in the body lack a gene to tell it to die. Therefore they just stay there as bad cells and kinda help the other good cells rot too. Since we ate a crap load of chicken, we were now practically chickens... because we are what we eat. And chickens lack the gene to die, evidenced by the phrase "running around like a HEADLESS CHICKEN". So uhh yeah...

EPILOGUE
Luckily the good news is that the doctors said we could easily crap out all these bad cells (literally... if you catch my drift...) before they could "infect" us, so we're pretty much ok now.

TV
"WHAT IS LOVE?" - Haddaway
These "Melvin" incidents have got me thinking lately, "Does love at first sight exist?". My opinion? Yes... but only because we are so shallow. Find out why by checking out a show called "The Science of Sex Appeal". Basically a group of scientists took a few tests to find out what causes us humans to be attractive. The results: We humans really are that damn shallow. Males are relatively attracted to females with "the curves" because us simpletons perceive those women as "fertile". And the females generally care about the males with high ranking statuses so that they can be protected. Find out more on the show, it is very interesting.

P.S. If you do know what I mean by "Melvin" incidents, good for you. If not, don't ask, my good conscience won't allow me to discuss it with you. By the way this is completely unrelated to "The Streak" in case any of you were thinking of that.

Chicken cancer sucks

SOCCER
Liverpool 2-0 Man U
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. What a way to end a 4-game losing streak. With a 2-0 win against Man U. Torres scored at 64 min and David Ngog put it beyond doubt at 95 min. 1 from each side sent off via double yellows. Mr Ferguson blamed the refs again (I don't care if he said Liverpool deserved the victory, he was still mumblin for a good minute about how decisions went against him).

Chelsea 5-0 Blackburn
W...T...F... Blackburn... you suck... If there's anything that's good about this game is that if Chelsea win the League at least Liverpool isn't knocked off their f******* perch yet.

and now...
Comeback kings galore!!!
Everton 2-3 Bolton
Bolton score 2. Everton equalise!! only to lose the lead later...PHAIL

Man City 2-2 Fulham
Money can't buy you 3 points, even when you score 2 goals 1st

Arsenal 2-2 West Ham
eh...

Final Comment
There's a new movie coming out and in its trailer it says something about "ARENALINE PUMPING ACTION" forgot the title. It was called "(something) Warrior". Look out for it (If not look for the trailer)

Overreacting Much?

FEATURED ARTICLE

http://news.sg.msn.com/regional/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3661552

Just read it. In a nutshell, a pregnant woman is on the fated flight to Borneo and goes into labour halfway. The plane proceeds to make an emergency stop to Kuala Lumpur but before they reach there the baby is born. It was delivered by a doctor on board the plane. And what does she get for causing this hullabaloo? She gets... free flights for life?! The baby gets the same too! You know, she DID delay the plane, thus causing a lot of inconvenience and probably causing a few unfortunate businessmen to miss their meetings. Hell, she probably got a free delivery from the doctor on board. Man!

GAMES
I think SVR2010 is out. Tekken 6 also coming out soon.

Free Flights?! For LIFE!?

Better Days

Feel like singing that song by the Goo Goo Dolls. Partly because they're a cool band (which you should go check out if you haven't already), but mainly because I've seriously had crappy days as of late, mainly because of...

SOCCER
remember a few posts back I was ranting about how the Int'ntl teams were injuring my precious Liverpool players? Those rants were bloody valid! Liverpool hasn't earned a point in 4 games, let alone all three. So uh... to summarise my thoughts right now... Fabio Capello, England soccer team, Spain soccer team... DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE STREAK
Is it starting again? To be honest I've kinda lost track. BUT, I did start watching Taking The Stage on MTV. Pretty cool reality/drama series. Definitely worth a watch. Need to find out when I can catch the reruns though. Missed the finale WTF!?

Anyways, I'm just gonna say that I've been sorta lonely as of late... yeah... I'll stop there

Final Comment
What did I just say!? Damn! I've been watching too many chick flicks!

Ouchies!

Check the article. To summarise it up, Obama was caught up in a divisive political row over his plans for health care reform. A 9-year old kid named Tyler then asked him, "I have to say, why do people hate you? They supposed to love you. God is love,". Obama gave a pretty calm response afterwards... but damn that was a punch to his ego.

SOCCER
Honduras headed for World Cup... WTF!?

GAMES



Yeah!!! This game owns. Is it better than Live? I don't know, I don't have Live yet (but i like the hangar, looks pretty cool). Supposedly the worst parts of the game are 1. the glitches and 2. the online. The glitches are meh, but at least the AI doesn't take advantage of it. The main glitch for me is the teleportation glitch. He looks like he's driving the lane, does a crossover and then he kinda teleports to the 3-point arc. Noticeable, but nothing that affects gameplay.

The presentation of the game is as good as ever. Players now do their trademark warmups e.g. LeBron messing with the powder. The highlights are also way better. Alley Oops look extremely good in replays. Game Wrap Up has changed alot now. They took out Top 3 Plays and replaced it with G moments. This helps in that it doesn't limit itself to 3 highlights. Still... I want my blocks to be a highlight... New to the wrap up is the press book with stills of the game. Cool feature.

The Menu got mixed reviews. They took out the bar type menus and replaced it with an RPG style 8 way drag and select menu. Weird. But I'm ok with it.

The gameplay has changed also. Isomotion now done with LT/L2. I don't like the LT button very much this year. Makes my players contort weirdly. The CPU's cheating inside D is gone now. They don't block every shot inside the paint and now your big guys can usually slam it down on the opposing D (instead of getting their sissy layups blocked every 2 seconds). Alley oops are overpowered, nuff said. Chasedown steals have been nerfed, some result in fouls even. Chasedown Blocks on the other hand, have improved slightly.

Creation wise, I think 2k10 will win hands down. Create Player now allows you to either mould the guy's face (ala EA) or choose samples. I like the samples... cuz I'm lazy. They also allow you to select the shoe colours now. So now the guy can wear Pink shoes yay. Seriously though, I do use it for some of my created players who only wear black shoes. The Signature has been buffed up... alot. You can select different styles for pretty much everything now. Low Post to the right. Tear drops. Drifting shots and now you can even select a dunk the guy specialises in. Create Team now allows you to design your own jerseys. Few choices for patterns but hey, it's definitely better.

My favourite team? For now Grizzlies. Cuz they got Hashbrown Thabeet and Pau Gasol's brother... and spamming 2 7-footers inside the paint is fun. Chances are this means I'll like Cavs too, since they got 2 idiots called Shaq and Z over there...

Arby 'n The Chief has ended. I am sad now ;_;

uuuuuuuhhhhhh

Staying up 24 hours just because you didn't feel like sleeping the night before is not the best idea. I kept myself going with red bull and sour strips in the morning. It'll keep the engines running but the crash is terrible. I think I was hallucinating while playing fifa. Definitely need some sleep

New Timetable Sux

Monday have to go home so late. grrrrrrr. Never mind. I'm gonna be learning Japanese next semester. Cool. Gonna hang out with the malay and indian guys because they don't have a background in chinese like me.

SOCCER

Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't like fat referees
http://sports.sg.msn.com/football-channel/article.aspx?cp-documentid=3625890

So Alex totally took out his frustration on Alan Wiley. Now I'm not the biggest fan of Wiley (If you can remember he didn't give voronin his penalty, resulting in a loss to the bums) but Alex Ferguson was being very harsh to the ref. He didn't do anything wrong. The calls were mostly ok. Heck, if it weren't for the ref Man U could have suffered a defeat at the hands of Sunderland. Think about it, Alan Wiley issued the red card which pretty much doomed Sunderland to a defeat (Even though they were 1 goal up). Man U just couldn't take the 3 pts. Dunno how Fergie can justify this statement.

Jeff Winter (from the article) was pretty harsh too. I know Fergie didn't need say those things, but scolding him like that isn't going to get anything done. I just have a feeling this is gonna be a huge mic fight in the upcoming days.

WRESTLING
Hell in a Cell seemed pretty good. Taker wins... but no jiu jitsu finisher. John Cena gets owned for once. But more importantly... DX wins. I think I'll get the DVD. If for nothing else, I'll get it just for the HiaC matches. Did I mention DX won?

On RAW, Miz won the US belt? what was the whole point of the triple threat match then? The Diva bowl was pretty lame at first, but I have to admit, seeing all their finishers in a row and, more importantly, Rosa's sick kung fu moves made it pretty fun. Hornswoggle give mini crotch chops to Chavo, epic WIN. Jerishow spoils the show when they run away from the 2 tonnes of humanity known as the Steelers offensive line attempt their first QB sneak in a wrestling ring. I was looking forward to that dammit. Didn't watch ,ain event, didn't feel like it.

Final Comment
Fergie is known for his (often successful) mind games with other managers. Now mind games with referees? interesting.................

Eventful Weekend

But too lazy to update, so I guess I'm gonna have to do a speedrun (In a blog? hmmm.....)

MOVIES



Cool movie, worth a watch if you're a action fan. More story then action though.

SOCCER
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool
Sad part is L'pool played well, but Chelsea played better. Can't say Chelsea don't deserve the points though, they took their chances and got their goals. On the brighter side of life...

Man U 2-2 Sunderland
Man U played like crap. Never in the lead, and they were at home. Took an extremely lucky shot to get back on level terms, but at least they got it before the 97th minute.

And more importantly...

Wolves 0-1 Portsmouth
Portsmouth get first points of the season! A landmark achievement. Still, I think they'll beat Derby County's record, if you know what I mean.

GAMES



Great game, it feels the same from last year, but somehow... slightly different. Haven't tried manager mode yet. They took out the experience points limit from last year, which is a good thing. Probably gonna get winning eleven to see which one is better.

The NBA games are coming soon, oooooohhh.......



A screenshot of wikipedia's page. Look at the arcade release date and the console release dates. WTF!? almost a 2 year gap! Namco Bandai had better give us an absolute masterpiece.

oh yeah, Capcom giving update to SFIV, Super SFIV! Now why did they go and reuse the title? They've come up with so many weird names for video games, I mean think about it, Warrior's Dream, Second Impact, Millionaire Fighting, Lost Planet (seriously how does someone misplace a planet?). And now Capcom reuses a title? interesting....

Wow, that was faster than I expected

Awright!

Got my yellow belt today! (It's late for the project, but what the hell right?) Yeah I'm feeling pretty good for myself now, unlike for...
