random babble

random babble from the mundane world of yours truly:
-never ever sit in a cramped area playing need for speed hot pursuit 2 all day with your laptop controls set to the default setting. because you'll end up with a right shoulder blade that still hurts days after, since by default, the arrow buttons (aka. the buttons to move your sports car) are naturally set to the extreme right.

-when singapore is small, singapore is really that small. never expect to find an online friend from singapore that is not connected to or affiliated with you via your current network of friends. imagine how far my jaw dropped when she said she knew so-and-so. a background check on friendster proved her right. i feel half-naked already, haha.

-nearly got bite number 6 in a year from the same short-tempered dog i own. the last time there was a near hit was on the day my one-and-only exam (and my final day of school) and i remember thinking, what a way to end the school term, had i gotten bitten. this time i also thank god He was watching out for me. because if the dog bit me, it would have been bye-bye driving lessons and hello days-of-immobile-hand (which includes the tricky process of bathing without getting wounded area wet among others).

-i hate harry potter 4 the game. out of all series, this 4th one is the worst for the PC. so what if the graphics are good (in fact the best so far)? the player mobility sucks. for the first time, the entire game is set in aerial view mode (i.e. where you're looking at everything from above), which is perfectly fitting if you're using the playstation, but when you're on the PC and all you got are keyboard keys and a mouse, it is very hard to control the character from the top. thus your spells are thrust at all crazy directions and when you want to move your character south, for instance, it moves southwest (and all the in-betweens that the usual keyboard arrows for north, south, east and west don't have).

-watching good-looking guys blush is about as good as eating your favourite ice-cream. i am referring to tom cruise on oprah a few weeks back. i was never really a fan of his, even more so after he ran after another woman while he was still married, but on the show, you get a good close-up of his face and all you can see him in is this crazy state of ecstasy that is so unlike how he usually portrays himself to be.

and the final piece of nugacious revelations for the night:

-3 months down the road and my future is still unknown. not undecided, unknown.
