Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children

Final Fantasy VII : Advent Children!!! Freaking great show! Just finished the movie... and I think I'm going to watch it again tomorrow!!!!!! The Animated CG is so damn life like! But the down side is that it's purely in Japanese, the English Subs or Dubbed will only be out later this year. I can only make out some of the stuff that they are saying in the movie. For those who didn't even played Final Fantasy VII on Playstation 1, I think they might not even make head or tail of this fantastic movie!

Here's a pic of the DVD I bought.
It's the First Pressing Regular version.














Here are some of the other versions:









I actually wanted to pre-order in the Limited Edition that carries alot of stuff... But after careful considerations, I decided not to spend $500 on the LE and just get the First Press Regular Version DVD.

Here's what the Limited Edition carries (*don't drool over your keyboard):

Can't wait for the English version to be out, I'll definitely buy it (so that I can understand more of the movie, LOL)..... As for those people who are not Fans of Final Fantasy, just catch the movie for the Great CG and action!

de05 IdN DesignEdge Conference & Expo 2005

IdN, a fantastic mag that I've always been following... Been to a several Fresh Conferences held on our Island already. Now there's the de05!!! Must make myself available to attend it. Anyone free to go with me? You ppl know how to reach me ya? Heh....

Foreword:
designEDGE Conference and Expo, presented by the DesignSingapore Council and produced by IdN, will be one of the undoubted highlights of 2005.
Essentially a creative conference and exhibition; both tracks will merge and combine into a fusion of programmes and performances, featuring some of the world’s most influential yet mild-mannered revolutionaries. It will be the perfect antidote to the commercial straitjacket into which many talented designers feel they have been forced these days — an opportunity to give full vent to their unfettered creativity.
designEDGE will reveal how this revolution came about: our presenters will demonstrate precisely what it was that drove them to overturn the prevailing “rules of the game”. And how they arrived at the inspiration to see things from a whole new perspective.
Above all, IdN’s designEDGE Conference and Expo is an expression of the creative spirit of our times. It is unlikely that there will ever again be gathered together in one place such a stellar collection of creative iconoclasts!

About the Conference:
The conference track consists of six presentation sessions in total; each guarantees to unveil what you always wanted to know most about those taking part. Each 45-minute session is made up of a medley of presenters, to accentuate the collaborative theme.
Be inspired by Hardy on how the Maharishi brand has established itself as one of the most prolific mastermind on the creative scene. Find out from Rostarr and Delta how their persistently distinctive styles are attracting clients of all sorts. Discover from DFuse and UVA what it is like to have creative control over bands such as Massive Attack, U2 and Beck. Be motivated to revive your own designs from “The World’s Most Copied Design Company”, The Designers Republic. Find out how cross-disciplinary collaborations are making so much noise and hype in the Surrender, UNKLE and Mo’Wax circle.

About Expo:
An unprecedented decision to divide the expo up into a series of specialist pavilions makes for easy viewing, with the expertise on display clearly labelled: Urban, Print, Art, Interactive, Music, Animations and Fashion. But the point of having them all gathered together under one inclusive roof is to show how complementary they are one to the other, and how misleading labels can be in this New Age of accommodation and cooperation.
Each pavilion, with its distinctive characteristics, will be packed with programs and interactive installations, performances and screenings, shops and exhibits.
For only S$35/US$20 a day (free to all full conference ticket-holders), each pavilion will guarantee to satisfy visitors with its innovations, rare finds and hands-on experience.

Date: November 10-12 (Thu, Fri & Sat)
Venue Singapore, Suntec, Halls 401-402

MRT "Please stand behind the yellow lines and allow passengers to alight first"

That Phrase above, how many times have you noticed it right in front of you pasted on top of the sliding door while waiting for the train to travel somewhere. Think about it...

Yesterday while at work, my colleagues and I started chatting and bitching and suddenly we went onto the topic on public transports. We starting bitching about how stupid & ugly Singaporeans can be.

Alot of times when we wait for the train, ppl tend to stand right in front of the sliding door so close that they are almost plastering their disgusting facial oil on the damn door. And yet they don't notice the yellow sign above that says "stand behind the yellow lines and allow passengers to alight first". They blocked the alighting passengers and try to rush in as if the train would disappear and leave them behind. Sometimes I see ppl waiting behind the yellow lines also and I think to myself "that's some nice ppl". BUT NOooooo!!!, I was so so so wrong... they freaking move right infront of the door right after the train enters the station and block the freaking door again. Oy My God!!! How horribly retarded! Worst of all, most of the time it's those OFFICE PPL that I see doing this. They study so freaking much and yet still don't have the basic courtesy of a human being. They should have a subject to study on courtesy for these intellectually challenged human beings who can't think with their cerebral cortex, all the grey matter flushed out of their rectums already! Another common disgusting sight is during the time of travelling from place to place. Passengers sit in the train and when some old folks or a pregnant lady walks in, suddenly everyone gets hit by the sandman and instantly falls asleep. What disgusting behaviour!

Ppl blocking the back of the buses, not allowing passengers to move back and get jammed at the front of the bus. Pushing everyone and rushing for a empty seat. Blocking station train doors. Suddenly pointing elsewhere without looking first and pokes someone. Turning around without first checking who is walking next to them and bangs into someone. Blocking an entire pathway to chit-chat even when its damn crowded. These are some of the moronic behaviour that disgusting human beings do that I detest when I go out. Anyways, feel free to drop me any comments or share your incidents that you have encountered.

Japanese name generator

Lol.... Just went to try this website that tells you what your Japanese name might have been...
Don't think its true, 'coz it might be just a random selection of Japanese names when you type in your real name. But its still hilarious to find out what your Japanese name might be!

Sony is EVIL!!! New PSP Color?!?!?!

Oh My God!!! Sony has tricked us all into buying the original jet-black PSP!!!
And now they've comed out with the Ceremic White PSP to make us "gian" and to waste money on another one!!! SCE has announced that a new color will be available for PSP owners to covet, perhaps collect, and carry around to become the envy of all around. I'm practically drooling over the white psp now... sigh..... Wish I could fly to Japan for the release on September 15, 2005....
There's also a new Ceramic White version of the PSP pouch being made to go along with the system, and a special new PSP accessory pouch (a mini-pouch for holding your UMDs and assorted odds and ends) will also be made available separately. ARGH!!!!
It will only be available in Japan at first as part of a PSP Value Pack (including a Memory Stick, white pouch and strap, AC adapter, batterpack, headphones and the like), and will retail for about the same price as a standard PSP package at 24,800 yen (about $250). Why....why... why is Japan so faraway...Why are we denied all this good stuff!!! Check out all this droolsome items...

Be with you

Just caught a Jap movie today... the title was "Be with you".
The story goes something like this:
Widower Takumi (Shidou Nakamura) lives a quiet life with his six-year-old son Yuji (Akashi Takei) after the loss of wife and mother Mio (Yuko Takeuchi). Yuji unfailingly remembers her promise to him: “I’ll be with you again in a year’s time, when the rains come.” On the first anniversary of her passing, Takumi and Yuji are taking a walk in the woods when they come across a woman sheltering from a monsoon downpour. She bears an uncanny resemblance to Mio, but has no recollection of who she is or what she is doing there. Family life resumes from where they left off, while Takumi and Mio’s memories of their first encounter in high school come flooding back. However, their new life together is interrupted by the discovery of Mio’s old diary, which reveals the secrets of her past and how they must say goodbye once more in six weeks time…
It was such a touching story... my goodness... you could really cry with all those scenes that can make those tears well up in your eyes. *sob...
The little boy "Yuji" was so adorable... wish you had a son just like that.
Catch the show if you can. Worth the money, but bring more tissues or wear something with sleeves!
I wish I had a schoolbag like "Yuji's" !!!
