R.I.P Jacko...

Quite shocking news, it all came suddenly, especially since he was supposed to have had a final tour come July. Who can forget the catchy tunes he sung? In spite of his wierdness at times, you gotta admit, this guy was a musical genius.

I can still remember playing Moonwalker on the SEGA Genesis, had lotsa fun with that. :)

So Michael, wherever you are now, may you have the peace so often denied you in life.

The Pacific

Too cool. :) I love the HBO "Band of Brothers" miniseries, dunno how many times i've watched it. There'll be another miniseries from Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks about the USMC's actions in the Pacific Theatre of War.

Watch the trailer here.

Almost Friday!

Wooo! What a long week it's been! Also been a while since i updated. Just got back from dinner with my buddy colin and wifey. Wanted to eat at Aston's, but place was closed. :( Chomps was packed too, so we headed to the market to eat. :)

Following a short anime series called K-ON!, it's basically about 4 girls and their friendship during their formation/revival of a defunct school club called the "Light Music Club". The songs are catchy, and the tunes are fun. :)

Well, on 1/2 day leave tomorrow, i don't really have anything planned! : But thankfully it's Friday.

Breaking News! - Attaku!

In response to the threat posed by North Korea, Japan has unveiled it's top secret project against the communist threat. "We were forced to speed up this project as the north korean's missile launches have destabilised the peace in the region" says Japan's Minister for Defence, General Amuro Rey.

Codenamed "GUNDAM", this 18m tall robot is poised to go active anytime soon, and hopefully will kick Kim Jong Il's keester into the next world! :p

... but seriously, check out the real thing here, it was built to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Gundam... man, it'll be a sight for sore eyes!

That's Life...

Well, weekend has come and gone reeeal fast! WTH, Din go anywhere on Sat cos the weather was too DARNED HOT! Buzzed my chopper for a bit, have a phobio of crashing the darn thing, but i told myself, wtf, if i keep kiddy-gloves on the chopper, i'll never learn! So i pushed it a bit more and tweaked the gain a bit... and at LEAST managed to have a few seconds of hover! Not very good, but slowly... slowly.. :p It's a beyotch to wait for the battery to charge though... need.. more.. packs..!

Sunday was spent visiting my grampa, who has been in hospital for almost a month. From the first day he was admitted till today, he has made a amazingly marked improvement; his speech is more coherent and his sentences make a bit more sense now, he can chat and carry out simple conversations... and sometimes say funny things... :p it'll take some time for his motor skills to come back, and rehab is needed. He'll prob go to THK hosp at AMK for a month or two. For a man of 82, who's gone through so much in life, it's sad for this to happen; he wanted to travel to a few places still. But regardless, we'll stand by him...

Life's like that, you never know what surprises there are around the corner, and we always 'never have the time' until you realise it's too late... I guess it's the human condition.. or is it complacency? Well, hope this week will be fine.. it's just another week again though! Time ticks away....
