just watched the japanese movie on arts central called haunted school 3. i won't try to impress anyone by trying to tell a sypnosis of the movie, but the effects were just so cool! and the best thing is, it's shot in 1997 - five years ago! the girl in the movie as mayuko looked just like a dead ringer for eriko from the now defunct j-pop girl group speed... she's so sweet. in a way, this movie reminded me of battle royale, where students are made to kill each other on a remote island - but some of them only grew to love each other and how to trust each other - which was also existent in haunted school 3. maybe these two films were by the same director, i have no idea.

anyway, yesterday, i paid a visit to eric's office in selegie complex and i was basically called in to determine if a zip 250 disk drive was dead. verdict - i can't say for sure. initially trouble in paradise, aka "tip" at steve gibson's site caught the internal drive to be unable to read the proprietary z-tracks on the zip disk, but an hour later, the drive seemed to be back in business again. huh? anyway, i'll be back at the office to do some rewiring stuff and rearrangement of the computer hardware - i foresee $100 shouldn't be too high a asking price for this cleaning service i'm providing... and the pun is that, the company is a cleaning company...

after finishing the work, i popped over to gee hin chan at waterloo street, and picked up 10 inner tubes - 5 x 26x2.0" schraeder tubes, 3 x 26x2.0" presta tubes and 2 x 26x1.25" presta tubes. later i swopped two of the 26x2.0" to 26x1.25" instead, because i bought for myself a pair of panaracer pasela tires! i was given a treat of a can of coca-cola by the botak ah-pek boss as i looked through his catalog... what a surprise! the tubes cost a total of $37.50, while the two tires cost together $56. that's already $93.50 for one day! but you may wonder, why so many tubes? because, come november/december, i'm gonna try something out in ntu campus... details coming up later!

and as i was about to leave, i heard fuzzybear's voice! and there was another guy with him, after introduction, i learnt that was kit leong's benefactor of sorts, roadster! small world...

ok lar, gotta immerse myself in the wonderful, wonderful music of hillsong's music now and get cracking with my exercise physiology, mathematics and socio-psychology revisions now...

p.s. cervelo has updated their line-up with the new 2003 models... yaay!

still remember back in '98, i couldn't join in as the "ca-le-fare" cast of the teenage textbook movie. what a sad thing, then. i think i was grounded back then, if memory serves me well. it's been four years now...

cannot take it, look at these gems i grabbed off talkingcock.com...



and a rejected ghost story too...

possessed
There was this guy who lived in Bukit Gorblok Block 666 who told me once that he believed his constituency was haunted by ghastly figures in white, who would go round possessing people's minds and making them do strange things like drink their own pee. I told him he was just having a nightmare.

anyway, i'm enjoying myself watching this video of dream theater covering metallica's master of puppets in one of their performances somewhere... john petrucci and his legendary "liquid" fingers...

i just woke up! wow!

oh, a little comment i have for fhm magazine singapore this month. just look at the cover! melody chen! wakeboarding babe, and look at that tattoo that's so "her" on her washboard abs... it's near the navel somemore... wow! long time haven't seen her since this mtv/teenage textbook movie promo thing back at junction 8 back in 1998, i think.

oh, for yesterday, the eed101 paper was fairly easy. thank God for that! after that, i went over to church for the 3rd and final instalment of the bible study series on the book of 1 samuel. and it lasted till 11:15pm or so! dead tired, so that's why i woke up at this unearthly or unhumanly waking hour...

and do help yourself to the smileys i've collected...


and there's a little "bloody" smiley...
