Grr

Mood:Confused and Frustrated Music: None

God damn my Lucasi still isn't in yet, and now I have set my sights on another cue, a replica George Balabushka for $380, I'm planning to sell the Lucasi for around $300-320, basically how much I paid for it, and get the Balabushka instead, it's a second hand, but in good condition, and comes with TWO shafts with ivory ferrules.

Here's a pic of the Balabushka.




Beautiful isn't it? The veneers are sharp, brown leather wrap, real inlays, all for $380, including the Joint protectors, the joint is a 3\8x10 Phenolic flat face joint.

Hopefully I can sell the lucasi fast enough to get this Balabushka!

Halo, and The Abyss

Mood: Impatient Music: Halo - Bethany Joy Galeotti(Haley James Scott)

The Abyss (Revised)
Let me start off today's post with a little abstract piece I made from Photoshop, I started off with a blank piece of photoshop 'canvas' and promptly turned it into that, pretty damn good huh? :D Kidding, I know it's not the best, but cut me some slack, I haven't done photoshop in like a year aye.

*Edit: 8:33 PM, I spent a good 10 minutes thinking of how to enhance the picture, and did it, I added more colour, depth and I dared to use the Forbidden Lens flare, but in this instance, it doesn't make it look tacky, it does look a lot better and matches the picture.


Halo - Bethany Joy Galeotti

I never promised you a ray of light,
I never promised there'd be sunshine everyday,
I gave you everything I have, the good, the bad.
Why do you put me on a pedestal,
I'm so up high that I can't see the ground below,
So help me down you've got it wrong, I don't belong there.

Chorus
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
you wouldn't say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you

Verse 2
I always said that I would make mistakes,
I'm only human, and that’s my saving grace,
I fall as hard as I try
So don't be blinded
See me as I really am, I have flaws and sometimes I even sin,
so pull me from that pedestal,
I don't belong there.

Chorus
One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
you wouldn't say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you

Why you think that you know me
But In your eyes
I am something above you
It’s only in your mind
Only in your mind
I wear a
I wear a
I wear a Halo

One thing is clear,
I wear a halo,
I wear a halo when you look at me,
But standing from here, you wouldn't say so
you wouldn't say so, if you were me
And I, I just wanna love you,
Oh oh I, I just wanna love you

Haaaa ha-ha halo(x9)


Great song, the singer is Bethany Joy Galeotti, or Haley James Scott from One Tree Hill, a kick-ass show if I may say so, get the new One Tree Hill OST Friend with Benefit Album, it kicks ass, Tyler Hilton, FallOut Boy etc etc. Get it get it! I know I will.

And as to why I'm impatient, it's been over a month and my fucking Lucasi isn't in yet, it BETTER BE IN THIS WEEK OR I AM GOING TO GO OVER TO THEQSHOP AND TAKE DRASTIC MEASURE

EURGH.

Eurgh, sums up the day I had.

I went to East Coast to cycle with Alvin, it was a fiasco right from the start. I changed the tubing of the bike two days ago. Promptly, it blew up in my face again, prompting me to replace it AGAIN at the price of $7.50(This one has a different bulb to it, the traditional bicycle tubing bulb). The first time it blew up I was at East Coast, so I had to walk all the way back to Kembangan to the bike store

Heading off to East Coast, I had my Lunch if you can call it that, it was around 5 pm, but it was the second meal of the day for me. We were cycling, cycling, cycling, and promptly the front tyre bit the dust.

GOD DAMN IT, THIRD TIME IN TWO DAYS, WHAT THE FUCK, IS THIS A $2.50 BIKE OR A $2500 BIKE??

I was so fucking pissed, it meant that I had to repeat the whole walk-back to Kembangan routine again. It was around 7-8 when Alvin and I reached the bike store, I parked the bike there and told them I would pick it up tomorrow. So now it's in the store somewhere, to be honest, I don't really care, I don't want to see it anymore, I want it shipped off to Australia, to it's rightful owner, I don't want anything to do with it anymore, the sight of it just revolts me already.

I took some pics though, I'll have them up later, I'm not posting the pics of the bike wash, since it pains me to see the bike all cleaned like that, and then knowing it gave way at ECP, forcing me to walk the whole fucking bike back, enough of it.


And now I have to add something else to my already fucking busy schedule tomorrow.

  • Pick Up Bike
  • Hope that the tyre doesn't deflate again, or that the frame doesn't come apart, or that the discs fall off, or the seat falls off or the wheels come off or the pedals come apart or the gears come loose or the chain falls out or gets stuck.
  • Pick up Lucasi
  • Go to Lewin's house.
  • Grimace at the fact that basically no one's coming to his house, and that I have a brand new cue that I can't use at the moment.



On a lighter note, I've been looking through some old school stuff, and promptly, I started looking at THIS. Hilarious shit

IN A.D 2101, WAR WAS BEGINNING

Captain: What happen?
Mechanic: Somebody set us up the bomb
Operator: We get signal
Captain: What!
Operator: Main screen turn on
Captain:It's you.
CATS: How are you gentlemen.
CATS: All your base are belong to us.
CATS:You are on your way to destruction
Captain: What you say !!
CATS: You have no chance to survive, make your time.
CATS: Ha ha ha.

This was a poorly translated Japanese-English game called Zero Wing in the early 1990s. The monotonous voice acting and poor "Engrish"(See wikipedia: Engrish) made it a cult favourite in the early 2000s. It had been years since I last heard the All your base phrase, ah nostalgia.

Cycling

Mm, it's been a while since I went out cycling, so I thought what the heck, I have lots of time now, might as well find another hobby besides pool.

So I took out my brother's two thousand dollar bike which is now in my charge, since he's in Australia, poured some water over it so it wasn't so chock-ful of dust and headed out to try it out, the first time in a long long time.

While cycling, I met with a flat tire at East Coast Park, like a few KM from my house, and also a few KM from the nearest bike store, so I walked all the way back, and left the bike at the store to change the tubing while I got some money.

On my way to collect the bike back, I saw this message.

Fucking hilarious, yet so genius.


I decided to wash the bike thoroughly, and take some pics of it, pics will be up tomorrow, since they're in their raw format, and it'll take forever to upload them, tomorrow I'll resize and compress them and they'll be here for viewing pleasure!

Whine, whine whine.

Every day, I see people whining, about how their love lives suck, about how they're so tragically dumped by their steady boyfriends\girlfriends, blah blah blah motherfucking blah.

Guess what you fucktards, get a grip, your life doesn't suck, there are others out there with more tragic lives than you have, is it like a fucking trend nowadays? To wallow in self-pity about your pathetic, motherfucking self? No one cares(Pretty hypocritical here, since I'm actually posting ABOUT them, meaning that I care to a certain degree, but fuck you.) you fucking retard, get a grip, take a chill pill, before someone wallops you with a sledgehammer(Not a Sledgehammer Jump\Break cue mind you, you do that I wallop you, an actual sledge-hammer, god damn pool is controlling me, but fuck you.) square in your kisser.

I swear if I see anyone complaining about yourself, I will make sure I hit you, and everyone labels you as a self-pitying fucktard with no degree of integrity left in you, you psycho.


Rant over.

Grr

Not much has happened since I last blogged, got my results, basically that's it. I've decided on an IT course in Ngee Ann Poly, somehow losing my interest in Mass Comm when I went to Ngee Ann earlier to talk to the people there.

Prospects for me when I go to Ngee Ann.

-Explore da West Side.
-Get membership to LanLab\Loop Pool, to use the Brunswick Metros at $4.80\hr during peak hours, or $1.80\hr off peak hours.
-See what's so cool about BTP, Beauty World and Bukit Timah Shopping Centre.
-Don't know anymore.

Basically that's it, I really can't wait to start schooling there, I've never really been to the western part of singapore, preferring to stay in the eastern or central area, so I've pretty much got to explore the western side of singapore, too bad there's not many pool halls, but there are FOUR, yes FOUR, near Ngee Ann Poly, two of which are at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre, one at Beauty World, and another at BTP, though the two at BTSC are the best, Loop Pool and Pool Factor.

CUE COMING IN THIS SATURDAY!!!!!

Pool Players, and the stereotype against them.

What is it with the billiards sport that associates it with the multitudes of "Ah Bengs" in Singapore? It's like when you mention the word pool hall, it conjures up images of a seedy pool hall, smoky and dark, filled with people who smoke, and gamble.

To be honest, true, some pool halls in Singapore are like that, take a look at those in ParkLane. However, MOST pool halls in Singapore do not have that image, look at Pool Fusion 3, LeClassic Pool, Labyrinth, Pool Junction, those are up-market, high class pool halls which house professional pool players.

Just look at today's Newspaper, HOME section.

Quoth: " Two of the friends were from the same school while the four others were dropouts, and all of them would hang about the void deck, smoking, and chatting before going to town to play pool, most often to midnight"

THIS IS WHAT BRINGS UP THE IMAGES OF SUCH POOL HALLS, THE MEDIA. Look at shows such as PoolHall JUnkies(Not bashing ANY of the shows, in fact I actually enjoy them), The Color of Money, The Hustler. These shows all show pool halls as a place where a lot of gambling, gangsterism and rowdiness goes on. However, one should bear in mind that these are just shows, fiction, not real, but considering the stupidity of local people, heck even I once had that stereotype against pool players and pool halls. Such is the stupidity of locals to believe ANYTHING portrayed by the media as true.

Gong Xi Fa Cai, Hong Bao Na Lai.

Thanks Ming Hui, for that title.

Anyway, what's up? There's a lot of hulaballoo about the letters issued by the MOE or something like that about taking up teaching. The rumour has it is those who get those letters have an L1R5 of under 20.

My verdict? Utter Rubbish.


Yeah, some points to consider, the stupid people haven't received the letters, and the smart ones, ala' me, have received it. Still, I don't believe it, as I really don't believe the results are even in Singapore yet.

Point 2. I received them, contradicting evidence enough? I think so.


Anyway, Chinese New Year for me was as usual, just staying at home and shiz, doing nothing cos everything's closed, if my family were Chinese, I'd probably enjoy it. The only time I went out was to visit Kenneth's house which ended disastrously, wherein after leaving his house, Kenneth smartly decided to meet his CITY HARVEST CELL GROUP. I won't say much anymore, for fear of a terrible lawsuit, which to be honest, I don't really care about getting, but I don't want to cause trouble over it. Lets just say I huffily walked away without saying a word, yep, just packed my things and walked away, not looking back.

I also joined the team practise organised by Ricky Chew from Teamplayerschoice.com, a weekly outing at Klassic to play some pool and get tips from one of the top players in Singapore. (I also got myself a second hand Fury Jump\Break, lets just say, the breaking capabilites are superb, jumping is sub-par, but I have my own J%J Magic Jumper for jump shots)


My Lucasi L2007 is due to arrive next week, thanks Greg from TheQShop for confirming it, for those still eager at the L2007's looks, look a few posts below.
