Well, nothing much. Futsal was cancel this week since other schools just finished their exams and we don't have enough people to play. My net speed still sucks, but the weather sure is nice! :D Saturday and Sunday were normal, and I managed to pump up 4 new pages of my comic "Knight's Requiem." Located at

Big achievement right there!

GARO
For anyone who heard me talking about knights and stuff, well this is the title of that particular show.
First, let us start with the Graphics, designs and visual effects, it's simply amazing for a 2005 series. The designs are perfect. There's nothing I don't love, from the costume of the protagonists to the antagonists, the design of the monster suits are also perfect. Suuuure, call it a kid's show for it's a series about knights slaying demons that eat humans at night, but read on, skip the nudity, gigantic nude fanservices, matured themes, gory graphics, and violent fights. Weaponry looks real and metal-like, the armor the protagonists wears to slay demons from hell called Horrors looks realistic, like really made of metal, it was a very nice touch for them to actually make it look like they were wearing heavy suits of metal that restrain movements a bit. You can get the illusion of that the armors are really heavy.
Secondly the Acting, top notch beside a few here and there. I really like the facial expressions that the main cast of characters manages to do, they look genuine and very believable, big props to Kaoru too, her crying and laughing looked and sounded very real. Even the supporting character, Gonza the butler to Kouga(the main protagonist)had more than just a few lines. He actually was a pillar of the cast as well. I'm not sure of his age, but he pulls off the tone changing very well. Him acting goofy doesn't feel out of place in this very serious series, but when he's pissed, he manages to make people take him seriously instead of remembering him as the "goof-ball" of Garo. The antagonist also composed all the opening and ending songs, and sung every one of those songs too. Kinda shows how they are dedicated to this.
You can get very attached to the characters, the show actually spends time building up the characters and making you feel for them instead of just feeling like you're a third party dude watching the whole thing happen.
Pacing and the balance between the drama and the action levels of the series is also very well thought out. It has some really inspiration and innovative way of filming. Everything fits into place very well, and there aren't any plotholes. The story ties to the epilogue of the series very well, the epilogue is a movie called Garo Beast Of The White Night, and I haven't seen any movie that had such a perfect blend of action and drama in a long while. The fight choreography is also top notch, they don't abuse their armors, and there's a time limit to their usage of the armor as well, and this end up with majority of the fight scenes being the actors themselves(or stuntmen) doing it. I never really thought a story like this could work out so wonderfully. Definitely a very emotional, inspiring and good series and movie.
I could only wish I could write something like this or be one of the protagonist actors in a show like this. This show has just made it to the top of my list along with a few shows.

Heeeyyy o
Nothing much to say. Maths result, 22/100, MUET, definitely not getting a B6, PA, failing on PS. Perhaps I should drop form 6 and quickly go and apply for colleges.
Oh, and I have added one new link to the Other Odysseys list.

And Thus
The chapter of Kyle's 2010 is gonna be closing soon. Hm, ah time sure passes by fast. I could use a dose of 2007 really. But all we can ever do is just look forward. 2010's gonna end soon, best rejoice in the moment instead. This year's life at SMI is really...something else than all the years I'd been here. Oh, speaking of which, apparently yesterday was the day that our sitting positions switched. Iceman and the others felt like sitting in front it seems. First day I'm absent to school this year and I don't even know if I'd missed anything? Na na na, I'm addicted to Oh My Goddess by Trax. Seo Joo Hyun in the music video looked stunning. :O I think I had really fallen in love this time!

Yan Lin's Birthday Party
It was a pretty fun day. I couldn't get a car so I was pretty late for the party. Most of the A3 people went beside the girls, excluding Shi Yun and Yan Lin, the birthday girl herself. First we went to K-box and pretty much sang from 2pm to 5.30pm. Note to self, never sing "Just The Way You Are" again in public, not even when I have a girl to sing it to. I sounded terrible singing it. My voice didn't really suit the tone of the song. At least that's how I heard it. D: Had some fun singing If I Had You, Airplanes, Make Me Wonder, This Love, and a hella lot of Westlife songs. Tried rapping Love The Way You Lie too. I'm officially loving karaoke!!
Speaking of Karaoke, K-box's timing and lyrics for some of the english songs aren't accurate. Especially on If I Had You, Pretty Woman and Airplane. Pretty Woman's timing wasn't very bad, but the lyrics weren't accurate. Bah. I do think that every was surprised that I know this song though. :D The last two songs we sung were Baby by Justin Beiber, which we mocked by singing in a very forced high tone and Secondhand Serenade's Fall For You. Oh yeah, we also sang I Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith because the one who picked the song went out for the moment when it played. We failed miserably at the last part where the screaming starts.
After k-box, we went to M.P, but before that, everyone going to MP using Phang's car went to Secret Recipe and brought a cake for Yan Lin, the cake was called Indulgence. Then we ate for hours on at MP. Urgh...and then we had the cake...which was very big and...urgh. You can see how full we all were yesterday since I can't even talk about it without getting a bit sick.

Futsal Again!!
I went to station 1 cafe this morning, god I love their menu...'s design!! The food isn't bad, but I actually focused more on looking at the design of the menu instead of the food. I was like "oh shit!!" when the waitress came to get our orders. Got some batteries for my camera for tomorrow. Karaoke and steamboat tomorrow. It's Yan Lin's birthday. Ah, and did you know? Karaoke is pronounced Car-A-O-K by japanese people and Care-re-o-ke by westerners. So they are both correct I guess. I do have to admit I like saying the latter more though. =/
Damn, couldn't get a goal this time. XD Had a fun night with the usual cast, Iceman, Phang, Calvin Tan, Sia, Daokei and many others, ah! And a new face today is Safar! :D We all had fun now didn't we? Anyways, after futsal, we went to gunung rapat for dinner. Phang went to Bercham's McDonald's lol. Owned!! Anyways, gotta run an errand for Miss Siti before Monday comes. Considering that I won't have time tomorrow, I better do it now.

Tis The Season
And the exam's are officially over! I screw up question 1. Even though I'd done it before. Bah. I guess I couldn't adjust to the time limit just yet. 1 hour and a half sure passes by fast. Need to start mastering critical thinking and have faster writing speed. This can't go on if I want myself a big Band 6.
Tis' the season of Halloween, of the things that goes bump in the depth of night. Time to bring out the scary ideas and stuff and apply them into paintings or drawings or whatever. It'll actually be awesome to dress up as a vampire to photoshoot to celebrate my comic's birthday. But then again, my comic's birthday is on the 25th of November. 20 days after a good friend of mine's birthday. :D
Tomorrow night's futsal, Sunday afternoon would be Karaoke and at night? MP! It's Yan Lin birthday too so yeah :D Speaking of more birthdays, it's Kitty's birthday today too. So many birthdays on October to November huh?
