See You Next Deculture

I sense an unsurprisingly boring holidays ahead.
Nth to do nth to do nth to do nth to do...

The only thing ive been up to is watching anime.
One Piece that is.
200+ more episodes to catch up with.
Kind of the perfect anime to be watching rite now.

Came across this scene just now.



super hilarious considering he's actually
a straightforward and serious character.
Well, maybe not that serious.
Still it was the best laugh of the day.

Also been watching Macross Frontier.
Which is probably the best series im following rite now.
I nvr want it to end ;_;
It mixes action with music so well,
i feel nth before or after it can match its style.
Not to mention its superior graphics and animation.

Its basically about humans whereby in the future
we leave Earth in colonies
to find new places to settle down at.
Macross Frontier colony though, clashes with the
Vajra alien race in the middle of the universe
and is in the midst of war.

Still, a love triangle takes place between
the 3 main characters. (2 girls 1 guy).

Both girls are phenomenal singers.

I would really pay to go for a Sheryl Nome live concert.
Though some would prefer Ranka Lee.



one of Sheryl's performances early into the series.
notice how they coincide the concert with the battle.
Btw, Jap songs dun really have nice English translations.
For some reason.



and Ranka Lee's surprise first live concert.
And here they took the concert to the battle itself.
Ranka's a more light hearted singer as compared
to the soulful Sheryl.
But the second song is the emotional special one.

Singing is a big theme for the story
cuz apparently Ranka's song has
a special ability to tame the
enemy Vajras (the things they're fighting in the earlier vid)
and her song is used as a "weapon" for the
survival of the human race,
though all she wants to do is to sing for Alto (main character)

Sheryl seemingly has similar abilities,
though its not been revealed to what extent.

Yea they both like Alto
and since pink haired girls prove to be "moe" for me,
i support Sheryl!!



And here's their duet in the OP.
The video can be an eyesore
so watch in HQ at YouTube if u prefer.
I think Ranka's voice suits this song better

Highly recommended to all anime watchers
who have not embraced this series yet.

Wonder if humans will leave Earth in colonies in the future..
See you next deculture!~

Year in year out,
PM Lee gives an entertaining National Day Rally.
He sure knows how to engage his audience.

Ive been watching Britain's Got Talent
on YouTube.
Found 2 very entertaining ones.
Face it, if you can please both Piers and Simon,
you've got STYLE...





Alternatively you can go to YouTube itself
to watch in HD.

I think the rain effect was a killer.
Yea im also currently addicted to the music he was using.
Both actually.

Hooray for Silver in Beijing!
And congrats to Phelpls

0.01 seconds

0.08 seconds was close enough.
0.01, well, Phelps is just amazing,
winning the 100m butterfly in such fashion.
That runner up guy now has something that
will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Well, but sports always needs drama.

Somehow, i still think his win in the 4x100 freestyle
was more dramatic.
Team effort you see.

He now only needs 1 more medal to set a new record
of 8 career Olympic gold medals.

All seven of his previous Golds came with records.
6 WR, 1 OR.

Tmr is his final race.
So everyone prepare.

Anyway, its become a pretty well knowned fact
that swimmers are swimming much faster now
due to the new types of swimsuits they wear.
Seeing, how sports apparel has developed,
technology has come to play a significant part in sports.
I mean, just look at football boots nowadays.

Total 90 T-Laser,
Mercurial Vapor IV

theres always no telling wads coming up next.

But theres one more thing that's making swimmers
clock faster timings.
They are now allowed to use the butterfly kick underwater,
after they have touched the wall,
regardless of the event.
Apparently, it helps alot.

And did anybody watch the 100m sprint finals?
Usain Bolt, new WR of 9.68.
And guess wad.
I think the last 10 metres he was alr looking at the crowd
and celebrating.
While all the others behind him were still struggling.
VERY entertaining.

I'll look for it on youtube.


edit: I was thinking how they were gonna broadcast PM LEE's
National Day Rally at 8pm,
when the Singapore vs China table tennis match is at 7.30pm.

Looks like the National Day Rally will be postponed to Monday.

Talk about sports stealing the limelight...

Phelps 3 medals

that is how you would look like when you
win an olympic gold in virtually the last moment
of the race, just 0.08 seconds ahead of the runner up.

Oh, and if you promised the world you would win
8 out of 8 GOLD medals.

Okay he didnt promise it.
But yesterday, Michael Phelps' target/dream
of bagging a record 8 gold medals in a single Olympics
almost went down the drain as team USA
only just won 4 x 100m freestyle men's relay.

Phelps could do nothing but watch
as his teammate Jason Lezak pulled off a miracle comeback
after seeing USA play catch up to France for most of the race.
0.08 seconds, was really too much for me to handle
and my expression was pretty much the same as Phelps'.

They also broke the World Record by a ridiculous
3.99 seconds.
And even more ridiculous, 5 of the teams in dat particular race,
were all under world record timing.

World records have been tumbling for fun
in the swimming scene this year round.
Makes u wonder when it will all stop doesnt it?

At any rate, had Jason Lezak not persevered til the last moment,
Phelps' goal in the Olympics would have come to
a sad and abrupt end.

As for now, he's got either 3 or 4 gold medals already.
And yea, all of them come with new World Records.

So top it all off, lets look at dat million dollar expression
once again.





PS: congrats to Tao Li for fifth place in women's 100m Butterfly.
Fifth fastest in the world, not bad at all.

National Day 2008

Hai guys..
its nt as if i dun have anything to blog about these days.
Its just that i kinda lost the drive to blog.
Additionally, for some reason i feel depressed.
For some reason.

Anyway, i'm sure that i'm nt underestimating the distance
between my house and Marina Bay.
If this is true, thn those freaking
planes featured on NDP 08 just now
are freakin' fast i tell ya'. (random Scottish accent)

I mean, one moment i see them on TV,
flying nearby the floating platform,
and the next moment, they're all flying past my area.
And im talking about that Black/Dark Knights Squadron.
forgot wad they're called but they're awesome i tell ya'.

All of them flying together, produced this big roar
which pretty much shook everything below.
It was probably the loudest thing i heard,
coming from the sky.
I just stood there looking up in total awe.

Yea so dat pretty much was my day.



Happy National Day every1!


edit:-
Today was a good day to watch TV.
Olympics has been entertaining so far,
though everything i watched seemed to be
a women's event.
It was interesting to watch women's
weightlifting and football.

Anyway, i think Calefare and First Class,
the 2 new shows on Channel 5 are pretty good.
You dont get comments like these from me on
local shows very often so trust me when i say
they are worth your time.

Also on TV today was Heroes season 2.
Which everybody watched ages ago.
But still, Heroes is the kind of show you wont
mind watching again.
Still, it wud be better if Season 3 started airing
soon.
