i forgot to update?

i actually forgot to update my blog? wowww.

anyway, i realised i have winnie from flute section's photo in my phone. oh hahahahahahaaha.

that aside, recently i've been getting caught in my other passion. in the past it was called dictation. later it's called reading out loud. now it's called voice acting. LOL. i've been playing mga1 and mga2, then went back to puzzle questing, completed my 1997/1998 (dunno which year) houshin engi on psx emulator, then started playing japanese versions of ace attorney. and now i'm playing a relatively old game Jeanne D'Arc on PSP. it's an SRPG--it's kinda slow, but the story/gameplay turned out to be surprisingly ok. when i first played it, it intrigued me for a short while before i lost interest cuz it started getting tedious. but now i realise i didn't really understand the game system then and the start pacing is quite crappy. someone told me suikoden iii is actually quite fun, but seriously, the pacing at the start is ridiculously slow. so it's about the same thing yes.

and loves! all the above games have dialogues for me to read out loud! and no thanks to my favourite activity of voicing, liz has to hear me ramble all day. LOL.

you know, i slept at 3am++ last night so now my eyes are burning and the things i'm typing out now are not censored, sensored, detected for errors and the likes. no QC, no nothing, no eyes reading my text yayaya.

now on case 3 of Gyakuten Kenji (Ace Prosecutor). wanna finish before English version comes out. this is a good test of liz and my japanese literacy. :D

speaking of ace attorney, i was playing Apollo Justice, japanese version. then i realised that the english translation for part one kinda busted themselves. LOL! in part 4, there's a case where there's this guy who sells salty broth noodles. he mentioned that phoenix wright and his assistant used to frequent his shop. i didn't understand that until i played the jap version. in the english versions of part 1-3, phoenix and maya always go to burger joints. but the japanese equivalent is miso ramen. so, it's supposed to be phoenix and maya frequented that guy's father's miso ramen shop instead of a burger joint. no wonder when i played english apollo justice, the part where he said wright used to frequent the shop didn't really make sense. (we thought it was yanni yogi's spaghetti shop LOL.)

in english version, phoenix and party are all in los angeles (shit, suddenly realise i dunno how to spell) or something like that and franziska is from germany. in the jap version, they are obviously in japan and franziska is from america. LOL what the hell!?

actually, ace prosecutor has its own merits, but i guess you can't compare prosecutor and attorney games...they are two worlds apart, seriously. the focus of the gameplay is actually different. personally i prefer the attorney series lah, but i'll save the verdict till i finish the game.

OH YAY! liz is off the phone! i shall continue my reading. yayayay~ see you guys in maybe another 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, 1 month (depending on when i remember the blog?)~ loveyyy!

oh, and lh has gone to defend the country. next up...the laziest man i've ever known. LOL.

3D Movies!

on saturday night i went to watch Monster VS Alien at GV Tampines with my TP seniors. it was a gruesome $13.10. i went to watch the movie cuz my sis asked if i wanted to go and i didn't know what we were watching or how much it was at the time. ugh.

if i had known i was gonna wear some kinda lens/specs i woulda worn my contacts man!!

anyway, we were surprised initially! all the woohs and wows. but as the show progressed, either the animators forgot to take full advantage of this new 3D effect or well, we simply got used to it. it kinda reminds me of Science Center's past attempts at 3D. haha.

it was cool! i recommend the movie. it's funny. LOL. the main character turned out unexpectedly likeable. somehow she appeared kinda doink at the start haha. there's this character called Bob who's seriously super funny. but i dunno how to describe... he's just so brainless in a brainfull way hahahaha.

if you've watched it, let me know what you think? i think it's worth the money!

Ace Prosecutor

i remembered that around this time of the year, the new Ace Attorney series should be coming out, though whether Ace Attorney V = Ace Prosecutor is unknown. so i went to search google at the start of this month for the ace series, but i got nothing except scheduled/rumored releases.

so, i dunno how, but i ended up going nds rom sites and searched for "Gyakuten"...

well i got meself the Japanese versions for Ace Attorney 1 - 4, and...Gyakuten Kenji! (Ace Prosecutor) might be an early release or what, but images were not available yet. so i went ahead and played it.

...

ok, let's just say i prefer the Ace Attorney series interface lah hor. the main colour combi in this game is like, seriously hen desu ne? (weird) gay purple-pink thingy as the main box in the center (compared to the orangey thing in ace attorney series), and...what the hell, pixel art characters walking around in the screen!?!? i dunno if this is their idea of interactivity but well, you get to investigate the crime scene while walking around the crammed area of a DS screen. i am quite stunnneeeddd... i kinda prefer the "Examine" function in Ace Attorney cuz you can see things clearly... pixel art chibi Edgeworth is just...wrong...!

a nice addition to the game though is the Logic system where you can collect questions and answers, and then combine them to form a conclusion. i'm not sure how well it works cuz so far i only answered one seriously common sense question, but other than that, if it works the way it's supposed to, i guess it makes the game far more logical than the usual guessing around in ace attorney haha.

oh no, stomach ache. brb!

mwahaha. i'm back!

not too sure whether to continue playing cuz it's in jap and i think i will seriously screw up the cases in that case. then again, at the moment i'm replaying the ace attorney series in jap version to practise jap, so maybe this would be a true test of my comprehension of the language.

anyway, the jap version seriously feels different from the english version, but i'd say the translation team is doing a really good job keeping the original context in place man.

rare it is, but i got up at about 9 today. IT'S A SUNDAY! AND I'M UP IN THE MORNING! THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!

but it's true. haha.

i suspect it has largely to do with the fact that for the last two saturdays, i had half day work due to alternate week and 5th week of the month thingy, so my body is now finally installing at the alarm into my body in the morning. (actually my body alarm doesn't really work lah. i'm supposed to wake up at 8 but i usually wake up close to 9.)

side track, i can't remember where, but i read that the problem with us humans is that we tend to trust in ourselves and our god-given abilities. the fact is we don't actually need alarm clocks; we just need to trust our bodies and gear ourselves up to wake up on time. but because we constantly doubt ourselves after failures etc, we stop trusting ourselves and rely on other things. that is so sad...!

after saying all that, i shall be self contradictory and say that i still need alarm clocks anyway. HAH

okok. time to resume story writing. not sure why but the urge to write stories is suddenly kicking me in the ass real hard. seeeeyaaaa!

新しい鍵盤！ (new keyboard!)

yayy~ quite happy. Liz and i bought a new keyboard that is ultra slim and resembles that of the mac one... it's sensonic brand, white and comes with a silicon protective cover! feels cool to type on it... and inspires people to type on it too! and for some reason it feels very shun! :D i am hoping to try out the sonic emulator game with this keyboard soon :)

on a side note, if anyone wants to join us on nannindesuka, let us know... it hasn't started yet, but there's a tagboard already~ write in jap to join in the kok ness! :D

and completely irrelevant, but i have a god-sent colleague who is working the accounts department. i don't really know her well because i only pass her things to bill (or talk to her only regarding billing matters), but on the whole we're on okay terms. and for some strange reasons...she always gives me food and snacks! :D things like cakes and sweets! and i always get to eat it before my guy colleagues! hahaha. today she gave Liz and i raspberry cake and said, "i give you two only. the guys i don't want to give!" the guys stun and stare LOL

yayaaa. god sent colleague who spoils us with snacks. wee hoo!

hey. i keep saying i will upload the baby photos right. eee yerr i never get to it.

actually i was trying to present it in flash, but forget it lah. who cares about that.

aim: this weekend, preview up shimasho!!!
