Back To College Once Again

"I stepped through the door and stared. The memories flowed into my mind like a river. I looked around and saw changes, changes that the river of time has created." - Eug -

"Time is like a river. It changes things as it flows. The things are like the rocks and beings under the churning river surface, one experiencing constant change while the other eventual change." - Eug -

Konichiwa mina san!

Today is a day when my new term starts off. Woke up early (all cranky) and got ready. First class started at 10. Our new lecturer was late but when she came I could only say one thing.

"Don't judge a book by its cover," - Eug -

Just because a lecturer has the name 'Pinky' it doesn't mean she's all in pink. In fact Pinky was really a cool lecturer. Aside from being not bad looking and having a nice accent, she's an ex-DJ! Whoa! Cool! She used to be a Radio DJ for a local government station and had experiences with DJ Consoles!!! Whoa again!!!

Beano! Set your alarm clock next time!!! It's what they're there for!

Anyways, during the short break had my lunch in Ming Tien. When class was done went to meet Bean at the Pump machine. Met Jimmy there as well. Played Pump (trio with Jimmy and Bean) before going back to campus for the next class.

Now comes the "most" interesting part. We had our first Perspective studies. The lecturer's were okay. Seamus was a lot like Eric Foo while Jason was like Bryan (super quiet). It was the lesson that I have to say really screwed me up.

It was really really really technical, rendering me confused and absolutely bored. I found that by actually doing the techniques I learnt and understood much more effectively.

"I scratch my head as the terms 'Horizon Line', 'Vanishing Point' and more keep swirling in my head." - Eug (massaging aching head) -

Plus we had a killer assignment for homework!!! Argh!!! My room's like what an A-Bomb would leave behind after detonation. The mess, the disorientation and the chaos! Argh again!!! Kok Ming! You lucky...argh!!!

Well, after class went to the Pump again. Although I've told myself that I was to limit myself to only one game per day today was an exception. This was because after going through Perspective, my mind only wanted to unleash the tension! The dance did me good and I felt better. Also, met Sung, June, Micheal and Daniel there.

At about 6 we left (due to demand by Rampus). Dropped Bean at his place before sending Ken Woo and Rampus back home. I then came home, surfed the net for a while before going with my bro to 1-Utama. Saw a Mazda RX7 and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 3. ^_^

Well, not much else after that. Well. my entry ends here for today. Ja ne!

Haircut And Results

"The time for knowledge seeking draws near. Changes are already taking place. People were getting ready for the new term. I too was like them. " - Eug -

Konichiwa mina san!

Today be a day where I get a haircut. Woke up and went to the saloon at 10 something. Finally! The amount of thick hair is really uncomfortable and an irritation. After the haircut went and got lunch for me bro.

I then came home, took a bath and did some stuff before heading to Pyramid. Met Bean there. We played some Pump (my We Are is improving even more! Thank you thank you thank you Sung!) before going to Ming Tien to get some lunch (or brunch to be precise).

After that went to the main campus to check the results for me last term. Met Kok Ming and Cherie there who were paying fees. Browsing through the results I noticed one thing. I actually got a C for figures. And a B- for design. I couldn't believe my eyes! I had worse results in the previous term. Guess I had improved. Phew!

After results-checking went back to Pyramid and played Pump again. We then headed to Beano's house, picking Ken Woo from Sunny's along the way. At Bean's played some GGX2 and practiced on KIU.

We were going at the KIU so much (stomping hard on the floor) that one neighbour below actually came up and starting complaining. He was wondering whether we were doing kung fu or something. XD Sorry Bean!

Anyways, left Bean's place at near 7. Sent Rampus back before coming home.

Well, me entry ends here for today. Ja ne!

We Are...Improved

"Improvement is the child of Will Power, Tolerance, Determination and Failure." - Eug -

Konichiwa mina san!

"Due to the fact that access to the com channel was unavailavle, all data will be entered at the next available entry point. Now is that time. Entering data of yesterday origin..." - Eug (in KOS-MOS voice) -

The morning was as usual. I headed to Pyramid, picked Rampus up at the KJ station on the way and reached my destination at 1 something. There met Bean and Jim. Played a game of Pump. While there met Kok Ming who played EZ2DJ.

Note : There be a correction about the EZ2DJ. It is the 1st Mix Special Edition.

After the game headed to Jim's place. Let me tell you one thing about the Kesas Highway heading to Klang. It's so EMPTY!!! Oh, how I wish I was driving a performance car right then. T_T

Well, arrived at Jim's place and whoa was it nice. Huge exterior and interior. And his com area was so nice!!! Perfect for KIU practices!!! Oh, by the way, he's got about 4 dogs (if I counted right). There was this one that was really cute and running around, paw-spinning (think feet scraping on the floor as it moved its legs very fast) as it moved.

Played some PS2 games (Soul Calibur 2 and Bloody Roar) and practiced my We Are. Also, ate Bak Kut Teh for lunch at 4. It was delicious (as it always was) and the three of us were full by the end of the meal. Rampus bought back KFC for his lunch.

At about 6 something sent Rampus home before heading to Pyramid. Play Pump there. Yes! Me "We Are" has improved! Domo arigato Sung-san! After the game walked around. Went to MPH. Bean saw this X-Men book about the art styles and how it changed through the decades. It seemed that the art style started off as really simple. It then evolved to adding more detail and incorporating fashion styles that I think would've looked cool during those years it was released. Finally when it reached at about year 2000 onwards the art style took a turn to assimilate Japanese culture for the characters had jap anime and manga looks. All hail the Japanese art style!

After browsing through we talked about more philosophy stuff on the way to Bean's place. The talk as always was interesting. After dropping Bean off headed home.

Well, me entry for today ends here! Ja ne!

Good News For The DJ Wannabe's!

"The machines will rise. With it will come the DJ's!" - Eug -

Konichiwa mina san!

Today woke up early to send me bro to his school for a jogathon event. Both my eyes and mood were cranky but with much effort I finally managed to lift my heavy lazy body up. After sending my bro went back home and slept for another 3 hours before picking him up when his jogathon was over.

At bout 1 something (after getting ready and so on) sent me bro to a carnival fair before going to Atria with my sis to get our lunch. Ate at Nando's. Oh yeah! Good food as always! After our meal went roaming around until 4.30. Picked my bro up and we all went to Pyramid.

Met Sung, June, Vance, Micheal and his GF there. Sung was practicing for the PIU tournament tomorrow. June also played but got some misses (I guess she's getting rusty) but I'll still support her! Go June! Ganbatte!

Also, the EZ2DJ machine is now operational! I checked it and found that it's the 1st Mix, meaning that not everyone will be interested (eyeing Sunny) ;p

Anyways, played 2 games of PIU before heading to the archery range. Managed to get a bull's eye (yeah!) but due to some misinformation, I got a call from me dad (got a screwing) which resulted in me losing my mood. Sigh...

Also, at the range there was this one cute girl. Cute girl! Argh! She was looking at me and looking away, looking at me and looking away, looking at me and looking away. Argh!!!

"My heart ached as I wanted to speak to her but I couldn't. I wanted to make the connection but failed to move. My legs were frozen as my heart was as I found out that she had left." - Eug -

Sigh...

Anyways, after the archery session went to eat dinner. After the meal headed home and roamed around my neighbourhood to look at cool cars. Saw some Porche's, a Honda NSX, a Honda Integra (if I'm not mistaken), a Mitsubishi FTO, a GTO and a beautiful white Mazda RX7 (which was one helluva gorgeous car).

Well, me entry ends here for today. Ja ne!

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!

The Three Pumpeteers

"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!

An Ache

"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!

Who am I? What am I?

A wanderer of truth, wandering this mortal realm in search of answers to questions.

Although I look upon the skies in search for answers to what lies beyond this planet, space and existance, I have now fallen down to a more personal level of ponder.

The question of the self is now a constant image burned into my mind. What is this person whom I call me? What do I really pursue in this existance? What is my true characterisitcs? A quest to find the answers I am on.

That aside...

My full name is one that shall remain a mystery. I'm known to many as Eugene, Eug or Neo. Age is of no concern for what matters is not how old the body is but the mind. My location is somewhere within this mortal realm.

Currently in pursue of art and aiming to improve on execution skills.

Aside from that also in the quest to regain the wonderment of innocence that I once possessed as a child. No easy task and probably impossible but still worth a try.

About me? Many things. To summarize it : playing with thoughts, putting ideas and emotions to paper and words, need for speed, to see a smile on everyone's faces, to spend time with friends, never to leave people alone and to love my family and a special someone with all my heart.

A pleasure to meet those who visit this humble castle of wandering ideas and all things thought and emotions. May you enjoy your visit.
