Good News For Pumpers Of Sunway
"A New...Pump...Has Come..." - Eug (singing in Celine Dion's voice) -
Konichiwa mina san! I bring good news for fellow Pumpers of Sunway!
Morning was as usual. Ate brunch with both my bro and sis since bro's school started at 2 in the afternoon. Met one of my parent's friends where we ate who paid for our lunch. Thanks!!!
After our meal, sent my sis to tuition and bro to school. I then sent my car to wash. Came back later to pick my sis up and we both went to Pyramid. I played Pump, which was when I noticed it.
THERE BE A NEW PUMP MACHINE!!! ALSO, THERE'S AN EZ2DJ MACHINE AS WELL!!! COOL!!!
The new Pump machine (located not far away from our usual Pump machine) is Pump It Up DX. This is a whole diff version with new songs and diff play modes. Also, they've got a new style of playing called the freeze. Basically you have to hold the button when the freeze initiates. Kinda like the DDR on the PS.
Ken Woo! PIU DX offers Starian!!! The EZ2DJ machine though isn't operational yet so I don't know when people can use it. Also, I didn't check which mix is it. And speaking of EZ2DJ, Sunny told me about a 5th mix for the game. Apparently (speaking in Sunny's analytical voice) some Hong Kong people decided to make a mod of it. ^_^
Anyways, at Pyramid met Daniel, Tanya, Novi and Micheal and his GF. After a game followed my sis around who wanted to shop for stuff for her friend's birthday. When she was done played another game of PIU before going home. Nothing much after that, unless you count the horrible jam. X~X
Also, I dunno whether is it me or not but today was a day when Pyramid was SWARMING with CUTE GIRLS!
"Argh! The mental torture as the angels played before my eyes...ah!!!" - a very tortured Eug -
Also, Karasu has recommended a site for me about Xenomorphs. Thanks Karasu. Although I have to admit that the pics cause a haunting in my head the information is priceless.
He he, well, me entry ends here for today. Ja ne! What an eventful day!

"There's a famous saying. Two is a company and three is a crowd. Well, for this case, two is a company and three ATTRACTS a crowd." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san! Today be an eventful day for me, Jimmy and Beano!
Woke up at usual times. Ate brunch then started on my 2nd portrait. Ha! I'm proud to say that I actually managed to finish one portrait! Ha! Ha! Ha! (--")
Anyways, headed to Beano's place and reached there at around 2 something. Jimmy came soon after. Both of them ate lunch that was cooked by Bean's mom. I on the other hand watched for I have eaten. I tried a spoon or two and all I can say is that Bean's mom is a good cook. Simple but good. Go Bean's mom!
After their lunch, we played some GGX2. Then comes the most eventful part. We practiced We Are by Deux as a trio. Went through several reruns of practice before heading to Pyramid at 5 something. Met Ken Woo there.
We then tried the trio dance. It was a success! We got a D on the first try! Yeah! Woo-hoo! Awesome! Dai jou bui! Now all we needed was to practice some style into the dance and make everything perfect. Oh joy!
Jimmy, me and you will try Double Single for We Are one day as well. Don't worry bout it!
It was great. And we even had a crowd clap for us! Whoa! First time! *High five to both Beano and Jim*
Guess our Pump practices paid off after all!
Anyways, after Pump went home and got caught in the jam. One of the easiest ways to sap the fun out of the day. Grrr...
Well, nothing much after today's Pump incident. By the way Bean, the AVP report on the Xenomorphs that I recommended to you has somehow sparked an interest in me. I'm not interested in the gore of course but the hierarchy of the Xenomorph system.
Take care not to get yourself bitten Bean. :P
My entry ends here for today. Ja ne!

The Deepness Of The Rabbit Hole Called Life
"Life is a mystery. So many questions have been asked about it and so little answers we get in return." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san!
The morning was like any other holiday morning. Wake up late, buy lunch for siblings and then went to get my own. After that headed down to campus to get the new timetable. We have Saturday classes once again and get Mondays off. Also, we have morning classes now for everyday! No! Argh! The horror of having to get up early! 9.00 classes!
After getting the timetable went to Beano's place. Showed his mom some of the Buddhist pics I got in my email. She then called my Godmom and they had a chat. It seems that she knew my Godmom. Talk about coincidences. The connections that we can't see in life are always there. I guess it's just a matter of time before the connections become active. I wonder when the connection with my angel will become active. Hmmm...
"I sit awaiting for the judgement of both God and Time. I pondered at when I shall create that connection, when my mortal hand will hold the divine hand of my angel. When we will fulfill the requirements to achieve what the entity called love designed. A harmony of two worlds, a synchronisation of understanding and support." - Eug -
Well, it's a small world after all. Anyways, practice some dance routines. At about 6 went to Pyramid to try out the dance moves we practiced. Met Sung, June and Daniel there. Sung was good as usual although he pushed himself too much. He had an aching arm cos of the stress he put upon himself while playing Para Para the day before. June bummered a lot. Her timing was off and she missed a lot. Well, she wasn't that bad but still quite a lot of misses for a person of her standard. Daniel was actually quite okay considering the fact that he was playing double mode for the first time. As for Beano, he improved while I became the vacuum cleaner...and sucked. My timing was off and my style could've probably qualified me for the category of worst dancing. No...
At about 8 went to eat dinner at SS2 with Beano. Ate western food there. It was here that we had a talk about life. We were going deep, as deep as the rabbit hole could go. It was really fun. Sharing thoughts, principals and theories about our existence and about the life that we are living now. I'm happy to know someone who'd listen and think as well.
"Pondering upon the questions of your own existence. What is beyong our space? How does it look like? We are now living in a plain of Existance. What happens when one dwells in Emptiness? A place of no objects but endless emptiness. How would it look like?" - Eug -
"It be a miracle that I've finally found a Bean that actually grows deep into the ground of existance." - Eug -
Also, me and Beano hit a point of brainwave resonance. We experienced simultaneous assimilation of brain thoughts, a phenomena that be hard to happen. ^_^ Beano! Assimilation be completed!
"YEAH!" - voice of two brains as one -
After dinner sent Beano home. Before and after dinner we continued our talks in my car. Family topics and our personalities popped out of our mouths. All in all I've learned a little more about him. ^_^
Well, me entry ends here for today. Ja ne!

"Pain, one of the unique qualities of being a mortal." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san! Today is a day where I experience pain, physical pain. Ouch.
Woke up today at the usual time, aka near noon. Got ready and updated my blog before going down to Setapak to eat curry fish head. It was good. ^_^ Yummy!
After that went to Rampus's house to pick him up but he couldn't come so I went off straight towards Pyramid. Played Pump and met Daniel and Daniel (yup, there are two Daniels). My 'We Are' by Deux has improved! I got a B! Yes!
After playing Pump went to Sunny's. This was when I realised something that resulted from Pump. Me legs were aching! Argh! The torture! I think I can't play Pump for a couple of days. No!!! :(
Well, at about 7 something went to eat dinner with Beano, Jimmy and Sunny at Summit. Let me tell how hard it is to make up one's mind at what to eat. In the end we ate at this place (what was the name again?). I ordered this SIZZLING Thai Beef and when it came I could only say one thing. It wasn't sizzling.
Sunny denied and told me if I squinted my eyes carefully enough I could see small bubbles popping at one corner of the sizzling plate. He was right. Small bubble that went Pip! instead of Pop! Oh well, at least it tasted quite good...and HOT! By the end of my dinner I was red in the face and dripping with sweat.
After dinner played some arcade games. Then sent both Beano home and Jimmy to the train station. I then came home and started to type away on me blog.
Well, my entry ends here today. Ja ne!

Memories On Playback And Inspiration For Quotes
"I stood, thinking back. I could still remember the first day I came into campus. The day I first met my classmates. It was still so clear although there were small details that were missing. Still, it only seemed like yesterday." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san! This be yesterday's entry actually since I couldn't get excess to the com. Yesterday's morning was an eventful one, adorned with mixtures of emotions. It also gave me inspirations for several quotes. Some of them are rather harsh so please read it openly, consider its meaning and gomen for any hard feelings.
Woke up early cos I had to send me bro's friend to a school in BU for canteen day. After that went home and we set off to Nilai Memorial Park to pray for me mom. Being there I felt peace and pain and the same time. Both me sis and me dad shed tears while I kept my own within my heart. I didn't know how my brother felt though for he too didn't cry.
As we left the park my sis mentioned about how fast so many months have passed. Me and me bro both agreed. Time flew faster than one could imagine. More than 6 months have passed already. Whoa. Soon I'll be in 1st year 3rd term.
"Time waits for no man." - famous saying -
"Time is a river that continues to flow. A river where no dam can stop it." - Eug -
"I could still remember mother. How she sat on the hospital bed. I could still remember talking to her, hearing her voice, seeing her weak smile...hugging her goodbye. It was all so clear yet this was one memory where clarity was something I did not ever want. I wanted it to be erased but I can't. So many ghosts of the past haunted me. I remember what she would use to do whenever I was driving, whenever I was at home, whenever I did something. I could still feel her, could still see her using the eye of my mind. The pain, the torture, the torment..." - Eug -
"People said I've changed. I guess time has the power to do so. Some complain about the change within me. I don't blame them. A human mind is so frail, so frail that I laugh at my own existence. Humans are so intelligent, yet we can crumble so easily. But there is something that I must say. Those who complain so much never had a huge chasm left inside their heart did they? And those who do have them had time to get over it. I still need more time. So quit with the complaints already. You don't know how it feels like till something so important in your life goes. Try it. You won't like it." - Eug -
"The longer you know someone, the more you understand that person and how deep their mindset is. Understanding is always important before making judgement. Thus, don't judge a book by his cover. Understand him or her before you judge that person." - Eug -
"I am like my mother. She kept her problems to herself and only spoke of some of them to me and people she could open up to and trust and took the time to understand how she felt. It is hard to have this trait. So many secrets of the heart within my soul that no one would understand. No one who would take the time to understand and stop complaining so much." - Eug -
"Nobody wants to share your sorrow. A person who actually takes the liberty of doing so and cries for you as well is a true friend." - a famous chain letter saying -
"At tough times like these, one can then distinguish between true friends, friends and enemies." - famous words from adults -
"Friends come and friends go. That's why blood is always thicker than water." - a gentle voice from a gentle person -
"I'm still in search of people who'd listen and understand. So far, there are a few. Family, lecturers, some friends and an angel that I haven't yet found. For those who do listen, thank you very much. I appreciate it a lot from the depth of my heart." - Eug -
Well, once again I say gomen if there're any hard feelings.
Anyways, the rest of the day went by like normal. Nothing else happened except for the fact that I went to Joseph's place to play some GGX2 and borrowed anime from him.
Beano! Thanks for the videos. Watching the trio dance Caution gave me a boost of energy and inspiration! We must do collab-dance soon! Right now practicing some moves! Also, I've got unfortunate news. It seems the room in my house where the com is has very little space thus resulting in poor practice conditions. So, I'll go to your place for practice! ^_^ He he. Just joking. Please tell me whether we want to do collab and if so, when to have dancing pratice! Ken Woo! You're welcomed to join as well. Anyone else can join too if interested. Please tell!
Well, me entry ends here for today (puts down the philosopher's spectacles and lets out a sigh of relief). Ja ne!

Every Beginning Has An End
"Life is a cycle. What start must end. What goes up must come down. Where there's light there's shadow or darkness. Where there's a beginning, there's an end." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san! Today is a day I rejoice, for the long project has finally come to an end.
The morning till afternoon was the same as usual. After having my lunch, I sat in front of the com and started typing away the last chapter of my story. At about 2 to 3 I finally finished it. Yes! Now all I need to do is recheck it and make any last minute alterations wherever needed and it would be completely finished.
After my typing I decided I needed to celebrate. So I went to Pyramid myself (cos I couldn't get Jimmy or Beano) to play Pump and get the 4th book of the cute-girl comic that I love so much. As Bean said, I be a sucker for cute girls.
Met Vance there and we played some games. After that took a drive around (cos me dad called up last minute telling me I didn't have to pick me sis up). The traffic jam near Mid Valley sucked! Half the mood was gone but I regained it back as I managed to free myself from the jam.
Came home and dad called telling me his car got problems (what can I say? He always treats technology badly) and he needed my car. NO!!! CRAP!!! I was so furious and worried. My baby was going to be handled by the hands of a beast! Argh!
No offence but when it came to technology stuff (aka cellphones, computers, cars etc.) I don't want dad's hands anywhere near them! He messes those things up, things that I love. I like tech stuff. I'm always amazed by it. (Tears start to roll down at thought of what dad would do to me car...)
Had dinner while watching Fruits Basket. Also watched Taken. Man, it gets more interesting day by day. After that played some Guilty Gear. Using Eddie in Aracde Mode, I-No is a bitch! Her damage is totally demonic and her moves just plain spell UNFAIR. Grr...
Even me bro is growling about her. Anyways, bro downloaded some game trailers. I watched Fatal Frame, Silent Hill 3 and Resident Evil Outbreak trailers. Fatal Frame was a total scare. It was creepy beyond words man! Scary...
Silent Hill 3 wasn't as bad but it was dark giving it the eerie effect as well. Resident Evil is well, just plain evil with bio mutants creeping all over the place. Loved the FMV trailer though. The graphics were awesome as they were very real. Hopefully one day I'll get to achieve that level of Digital Animation.
To summarise it all, get ready to be scared. Especially with Fatal Frame. X_X
Also, talked to an old friend through sms. Felt good doing so. ^_^
Well, me entry ends here for today. Ja ne!

The Angel That Shares My Blood
"There are many angels among us mortals. The most important one is the one that brought us into this world and nurture you until you've grown up. Embrace this angel and tell her how much you love her. Love your mother, the angel of the mortal realm." - Eug - Konichiwa mina san! Today was an eventful day of so-so proportions. I was going Muhon or solitary! Woke up early to send me lil bro to tuition. After he was done, picked him up and got ready before having my lunch myself. Also went to the Net and took the colour test. The result is in the entry below. Anyways, for lunch ate at Nando's. Love their chicken and peri-peri sauce! I then went to the LRT station, parked me car and borded the next train towards Pasar Seni. Is it me or is the world getting more populated with cute girls? Walking around the station I saw several cute ones that made me heart leap up and down. Anyways, went to Kota Raya and met Rampus, Ken Woo, Sunny and Joseph there. Played several games and exchanged phone numbers with Joseph before going back. Reached home, ate dinner and played some GGX2. While eating dinner watched an episode of Fruits Basket (sorry Jill! I'll return it to you as soon as possible!). It was the episode about Momiji's mom. When it was done the credits were scrolling up while my tears were flowing down. The episode gave me inspiration to write a poem. The Regret Of My Lost Angel That Shares My BloodCurled within my mom's protection, One with her, a strong connection, The time came for separation, A fresh seed of new generation. Years passed and I grew up, A thinking person, mind that's sharp, I stared back at my sleeping mom, To eternal slumber she had succumb. Memories played within my head, Happy ones and those of dread, The many times when she would smile, Those were times that were worth while. And there were moments of despair, Of many tears and messed up hair, Problems that were caused by me, Actions I regret eternally. I remembered how we used to shout, The anger flowing all about, Arguments that we both had share, Of things in life that were unfair. I now sit so immersed in thought, Many regrets I've not forgot, I close my eyes and can only try, To hold back the hidden tears I cry. The actions I wished I hadn't done, The times I just wanted to run, Away from thoughts within my head, Thoughts that leave me cold with dread. - Eug - Well, I hope you like it. He he. Tell me what you think about it. By the way, I took a 'Feeling' quiz. Here's me results. I think I like it. It's actually quite accurate. And the character is so serene (I like!).  You represent... hope. You're quite a daydreamer and can be a hopeless romantic. You enjoy being creative and don't mind being alone at times. You have goals, and know what you want in life... even if they are a little far fetched. What feeling do you represent? brought to you by QuizillaAnyways me entry ends here today. Ja ne!

"Colour, the beauty of it. Humans are like colour, different hues have different characteristics." - Eug - Konichiwa mina san! This be my colour result from the colour quiz I took. Not exactly what I expected. I was hoping for white actually. But well, who knows? Humans are a mixture of colours I guess. There's a little bit of this characteristic and a little bit of that characteristic in each of us.  What color are you? (Anime Pictures) brought to you by QuizillaJa ne!

S.W.A.T. - One Of The Many Embodiments Of Teamwork
"Trust, loyalty, tolerance, acceptance, patience, fairness and equal say. The many important factors of being a team." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san! Today was quite a day, for me, Beano and Jimmy went to see S.W.A.T.. Good movie it was.
Woke up late (cos overslept!)(;P) and quickly rushed to Pyramid. The S.W.A.T. tickets that I had (courtesy of Kok Ming)(thanks Mr. Kok) were free-seating tickets. That meant first come, first get good seats sorta situation. Thank goodness managed to get good middle seats.
Beano came late, causing me to miss some few minutes of the action. BEANO!!! GRR!!!
Anyways, the movie was great. Michelle Rodrigues was really really spunky and not bad looking. Go Michelle! And Samuel L. Jackson was just plain awesome an actor. From the serious Mace Windu of Star Wars to the quirky Hondo of S.W.A.T. with his remarks that puts a smile on all the viewers faces. Sam rocks!
After the movie played some Pump while waiting for Rampus to arrive. Sung changed hairstyle. I was like "Hmmm, he looks familiar. Could it be? Sung? Sung! What happened to your hair?! Whoa!!!" Yep, nearly couldn't recognise him. Anyways, met Micheal there also who played a game before going ice skating.
When Rampus arrived went to eat lunch. Talked about the Alien hierarchy while eating. Imagine lunch at 3! Talk about how time flies when you're playing Pump.
Anyways, after lunch went to Sunny's. Played Deathrow and me, Sunny and Rampus ended up moaning and groaning as we lost to the final team. No!!! After Deathrow played Guilty Gear X2 aka GGX-Square (as I like to call it). My Faust has improved. Yes!!! I also realise that against swift opponents, the ever-knowledge-seeker and dancing-fighter Anji Mito isn't very good a character to use. Sob...he's one of my fave characters (since Rampus, Ken Woo and Beano say Anji is like me). Oh well, you win some you lose some.
Also, found my third trump-card! Millia Rage! She rock too. If only she was as cute as May or Bridget. Sigh.
Well, after the game rushed to send Rampus home before going to dinner. Then came back and played GGX2 story mode. When using Testament, get aspirins ready for the battle with Johnny. He becomes a real pain in the ass. The unfairness of one-strike-deaths caused me to scream "NO WAY! THAT'S CRAP MAN!". But finally managed to defeat him (after about say 6 to 7 deaths) thanks to me bro. Phew!
Well, this is where me entry ends for today. Ja ne!

Anger, One Of A Jedi's Worst Enemy
"Anger is probably one of the worst parasites a human being is born with. It feeds on emotion and causes a tiny destruction within the crevices of your heart and soul. You get hurt from the inside and if uncontrolled it can also lead to injury from the outside as a result from physical fights. Imagine, an enemy from within." - Eug -
Konichiwa mina san! Today, a cloud hangs over my head. Well, during the afternoon that is.
It all started while I was having brunch. I got screwed by me dad for a small little joke I made which caused no harm at all. Geez, talk about the starter of all problems. We had an argument (started by dad himself) which really wasn't needed at all. Stupid is all I can say.
Sigh. Anyways, left the restaurant as soon as I finished me meal so I didn't need to continue staring at dad's face. Headed towards Pyramid to meet Jimmy. Listened to loud music on the way and screamed part of my lungs out in the process.
The parking at Pyramid was packed way pass the brim which didn't contribute at all to making me feel any better. In the end, had to park at the parking lot just behind campus and make my way to the rendezvous area, the Pump machine!
Met Jimmy and Beano there. They were hanging at Rocco Cafe (or was it Rococco?) eating some fries. I joined them, admiring a girl in the ice skating ring. She was REALLY cute. My jaw was hanging and I was practically going ga ga. Sigh...
"I stared at those cute eyes that looked back at me. The smile sent a warm feeling through my skin, making its way into my soul that searched for an angel. An angel without wings, one who walked among mortals. An angel by appearance, but was she an angel by heart? I didn't know and I couldn't think straight. My mind was blinded by her. As a friend once told me in a language so plain and simple...Eug be a sucker for cute girls." - Eug -
Sigh. Anyways, when we were done eating the fries we headed to play Pump. Ah, the Pump machine, my anger therapy machine. We met two other players there, one of whom was a pro. He was awesome man! Anyways, played some games, learned some styles for Funky Tonight's opening and improved on me 7 stand. When all was done, I was fine was again. Ah...the Pump effect. A mystery, and one that will remain an enigma until the end of my time.
Also, met Gerek there. After the game we left. I dropped Gerek at Sunny's before heading home. At home, I had a talk with someone who would listen to my problems. Thank goodness, for I felt much relief that someone else also understood the madness going on in my mind thanks to me dad.
Went out to dinner, feeling rather uneasy at staring at dad's face. When dinner was over went to send me bro to Atria before coming home. Played Jedi Academy. I love the game! Must try dual sabers (aka Amidala's Anakin's sabers) after I finish me current game! I'm currently using double-blade saber (aka Darth Maul's saber). Just discovered some cool moves and when I say cool I mean cool. I should paint my face red and black and name meself Darth Eug or something. ;P
Well, anyways me entry ends here. Me anger is now settled thanks to Pump. Thanks to Andamiro for creating Pump man! Well, ja ne!
