Ive been procrastinating for a long time now on the assignment Michelle gave me... sigh. Couldnt think of much, Im actually a rather boring person, and since not many ppl read this blog... I think I wont spread the cheer elsewhere.
Well, here goes...
1. My name came to my mom in a dream. No seriously. By her account, about a week b4 i was born, she had a dream seeing someone in a dark room. When asked who was it, it(?_?) replied "Im Joey". Dunno if its true tho...
2. I was a child performer once for the Jerry Jinglebird thingie. Cant really rmb much about it... I think I was what, 6 at the time... I onli rmb that thanks to that, I developed a liking for the carrot cake at Newton Circus, everytime finish rehearsal go and eat ;)
3. I have an insane number of hobbies. This is mainly because as my friend once said, Im probably the world's greatest consumer. Get me interested (i.e. hold my attention span for more than five seconds) and I just go crazy over it. Plus these hobbies are usually excruciatingly boring to the uninitiated (like my Marvel/DC comic history, study of the history of Middle-earth and other LOTR stuff, and my neverending Gundam fascination)
4. Im a very lazy person dresswise. I have like just one template for casual: T-shirt and bermudas. I dont really care how it looks, just whether it feels comfortable.
5. (tries to think of some more) Im a very avid comic reader. Currently, Im following about 9 different series, even some that have to be flown in from Taiwan and Hong Kong cause Chuang Yi never bothered to publish them... which is murder on my wallet (thank god for Comic Connections membership card: 30% discount on all Taiwan/Hong Kong comic books $11 becomes roughly the price of a normal Singapore comic book, for just $10/ year... I sound like Im advertising). My mom's never very happy about this as Im liable to go without lunch and buy all these comic books (thereby "wasting" her money) My collection now numbers a good 50/60 books with the average price being about 7 bucks... you do the math. No wonder she's pissed... And my bookshelf's a bit overflowing, hopefully i can clear out one of the cupboards in my bedroom for storage purposes, room looks like a paper tsuanmi claimed it.
Whew, thats finished. 5 weird and random facts about me!
Cheers,
Imppala

WHen all inspiration for blog entries fail... quizzes take over.
You are an assassin. That means you are a proffessional and do your job without mixing any emotions in it. In your life you have probably been hurt many times and have gotten some mental scars. This results in you being distant from people. Though many think that you are evil, you are not. What you really are is a person, trying to forget your pain and past. You are the person who never seems to care and that is why being an assassin fits you good. Atleast, that's what people think. Even if you don't care that much for your victims, you still have the ability to care and to generally feel. It is not lost, just a little forgotten. In crowds you tend to not get to noticed, and dress in black or other discrete colours. You don't being in the spotlight and wish people would just leave you alone. But once you do get close to someone you have a hard time letting go and get real down if you loose him/her.

...you reading this, alvis?
Well, its christmas in 4 days time.
More importantly, it'll be the new Year in what, ten days? Argh. The year of the 'A'pocalypse/'A'gony (yes, Im being extremely lame here) as I call it.
I had this fleeting thought of where has the precious two months gone, and my brain answers with the distinct image of me lying on the couch (work with me here) with a PS2 controller in hand, frying my eyes out as I mindlessly (as my mother says) press buttons watching a display that is sooo gonna worsen my myopia. Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Ah well, to all a merry christmas and a happy new year! As for those who have 'A' levels nxt year (Alvis, this doesnt mean you) jia you!
Cheers,

Well, I finally dragged whats left of my sorry hide away from the PS2 and got down to blogging. Sorry i didnt get back to this earlier, as on the days I wasnt home frying my eyes out, I grabbed some of my hard-saved money that I hadnt already used to buy the THREE new comic series (flown in from Taiwan, too and loads more ex... thank god for Comic Connections privilege cards... digressing here...) and went to X-square to fry my eyes out again, albeit with a different console. Too bad Street Basketball doesnt have a PS2 version, else Ill buy it. For a basketball fanatic, its just fun to see how many times you can DUNK over that sorry guy there with the task of guarding you. Do a few tricks, send him sprawling, then do a DOUBLE alleyoop dunk. In other words, I leaped as if to dunk, passed to another guy in mid-air, who then passed again to my last team-mate, who smashed it home. Loads of fun.
On the PS2 front, just finished Star Ocean 3 for the third time anbd finally finished Shadow HEarts: Covenant... heh. About 100 hours of gaming in total, thank god for coffee, and a tolerant mom who yells at me to sleep onli if she still finds me at three in the morning. I might grab another RPG to finish during the holidays...
Sianz, my social schedule for the holidays ROX. My class juz cancelled their chalet, and 09 the reunion, both citing lack of participation. Sadly, after PW, apart from the chance meeting at bishan mrt, I havent seen a singe classmate so far this whole hols. Meh...
I need to finish up some hliday hw, ciao for now.
Cheers,
Imppala
