Thingamatootafrick.blogspot.com will always be here to stay. I'll keep it here for old memories sake but I'll be actively using Tumblr since it's so user-friendly with bigbig buttons!

It's been a good long 5 years with you Blogger. Asta la vista baby.

PS: I'll still be updating the blog with my Bemani Achievements so not to worries. :)

Studying makes my brain go mushy.

2010-09-25T19:23:00.000+08:00

Studying makes my brain go mushy.

I swear I can't wait for the school term to finish so that my one week holiday that let's me sit back and chill out. Maybe not since I'm going to start work soon and training falls during that one week.

I wonder how the schedule is going to be like. And I need to make some time to go out with my bestest buds like Mel C, Darryl, Ben, Jit, Nise, PX, NZ, JunJun, SharShar, Mel Q and many more. Not to mention I've been procrastinating on my need to go shopping. :( Anyone? Lol. (Highly doubt anyone reads this anyway.)

Anyway, I'm picking up more and more skills in IIDX. I want to get better with each passing day and not stay stagnant. I want to get 10th dan. I want so many things. I'm such a selfish brat.

Encountering some stress at school. I fear that I may not be able to fit in because I'm a pretty unusual person since childhood. But I won't change myself just to fit in. No I won't. I don't live to please anyone or to fit in. My friends accept me for the way I am, unfashionable, gamer-girl and tomboyish Oli and that's how it's gonna be.

I need to strengthen my resolve and I got to do this right. Maybe I'll make some true friends that last a lifetime, here at my university. But for now, I'll just be what I gotta be.

For now, it's just Art Appreciation and me baby. Hooyeah.

Feeling happy and content

2010-09-10T15:34:00.000+08:00

The best feeling in the world.

And How I met Your Mother is EPIIIIIIC! :D It's just soooo entertaining!

Barney: I don't wanna kiss Rajeet!
Rajeet: You don't know what you're missing!

Hahaha.. Anyway, I'm behind schedule to read up on my Art stuff. The demon called Procrastination is knocking on my door far too many times.

Time to just start my work and get going. BANZAI! :)

Glitz and Glamour with Bestie

A makeover really makes a big difference..

But I'm still the same damn Oli inside.

Too bad the makeup and hairstyling was temporary. :P

Made of loves!

2010-07-14T09:55:00.000+08:00

THANK YOU DAMIEN DAMIEN DAMIEN FOR MR RAWR! I LOVE IT! <3 <3

New Skills

2010-07-09T15:31:00.002+08:00

I'm going to take up a new instrument called the Acoustic Guitar.. Perhaps after my uni. D:

DAD, I NEED YOUR SKILLS PLOX.

New Song Addiction

2010-07-08T12:12:00.002+08:00

From now, I'll just update my blog once in a while with random short posts just like this..

Anyway, I think I'm going crazy over Miley Cyrus's song, "When I Look At You".. It somehow can bring tears to my eyes when I first heard it.

Heard this song when I was at the MRT and they were playing the trailer for Miley Cyrus's movie, "The Last Song". Quite a while back already somehow.. I got addicted, downloaded it, listened to it, kinda forgot about it, listened to it again and fell in love with the song.. All over again.

Now I'm just looping it at work and listening to it over and over again and mouthing the lyrics all the time. Mouth exercise much?

Good lyrics, good melody, just excellent. Soulful and meaningful. Now Miley, can't you make more songs like this? :)

Anyway, enough talk. Just listen.

Toodles. :)

Miley Cyrus - When I Look At You

Graaaaah.

2010-07-07T12:46:00.001+08:00

Today is a good yet bad day. :) :( Mixed emotions FTL. Involves PMS in the picture.

And btw, don't ask. :) :(

Dust dust and more dust.

2010-06-01T11:49:00.001+08:00

Collecting dust like no tomorrow.

I'm feeling so blue because someone got 9th dan on P2. Nevermind. I shall work uber hard to get my 10th dan on P1 and clear at least 5 level 12s by the end of this month. Mark my words.

Anyway, I'm so out of touch with the Jubeat community. Not to mention that last time I used to know everyone but now.. when I went for the Iluma Random Challenge, everyone was like so foreign. Only could recognise the oldies man. D:

I shall play more Jubeat and Popn. Shall take a short minor break from Popn and train my left hand! :)

Back to work and more boredom. Ciao. :D

IIDX Shock.

2010-04-06T10:29:00.002+08:00

Yoz. I’m back to haunt this place.

9th Dan is still slightly far away. But I’m determined to pass it at all costs.

I told myself, I’m determined to 9th Dan by 4th June (the day I end my temp job) and put the reminder in my phone too but it seems I’ll hit my target waaaay before 4th June.

Come to think of it.. It’s actually pretty freaky. In less than 1 year (with on and off periods of playing), I’m actually hitting the 9th Dan. SOOOON!

And I’m setting my hopes higher for 10th Dan already. But that’s a huge and muuuuch more bigger jump than you can ever imagine. Surviving thru 4 x lvl 12 songs on a Dan bar is not my league yet.

Keyword: Yet. :)

I can’t imagine. Less than 1 year ago, I decided to just try IIDX for “fun”. Less than 1 year ago, I seriously never imagined I would play IIDX on a frequent basis. I thought that the game was “too difficult” when I saw some people playing IIDX 3-4 years ago on the IIDX Gold cabinet in TKA. I tried it myself, and I failed miserably. I couldn’t even pass a freaking level 4 after 3 attempts. Darryl and Furt were my true blue witnesses.

And now, I’m setting my sights on 10th dan. Zomg.

One word to sum it all up = CHEEBONG.

That’s all for now. Back to work. :)

Thoughts

2010-03-31T01:26:00.002+08:00

They are swirling totally in my head and I can't seem to get it out. It's annoying me and I can't sleep. :(

Work again as usual tml.

Goodnights.

Movie marathon

2010-03-25T00:31:00.000+08:00

Woooooooooow. In the past two days I just watched Prof Layton and Kaiji.. Japanese movie marathons for the winz.

Right now.. My left eye hurts and I have no freaking idea why. It's so weird. Press the inner corner of the eye and there's this ache.. Quite sian. :( Hope it will be good again with sleep..

Maybe it's something to do with too much IIDXing at home these few days.. Hmmm.

Anyway, once my pay comes in. I don't give a DAMN. I want my KOC. Enuff said. :)

Teehee! :D

Blahdeblah. Aurora. :(

2010-03-22T02:01:00.001+08:00

Fark. When I think about it, I can't live without a KOC now. It's one of my nightly entertainments till the wee hours of the morning. Accompanied by leg cramps, pins and needles, backaches and strained eyes.

On another note, 9th dan ain't coming so soon. :(

And on ANOTHER note, I nearly cleared Aurora. By. Just. 8%. Percent.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with today. Jubeat compy was fun catching up with the old peeps and the new ones. Score-wise, I'm pretty content for someone who doesn't play much. :)

KOC is getting lonely. Toodles!

8th dan in IIDX...

2010-03-16T01:45:00.001+08:00

IS MINE. Muahahaha!

Faaaaaaarking happyyyyyyyyyyyy! :D

Apparently, the jump from lvl 9/10 to lvl 10/11 without playing much is... big. .__. Don't ask me. I don't know why. It's a "Miracle Meets". :P

Next target.. 9th dan! :D WINWINRUZ!

That's all for now. Toodles!

PS: I'm touched that there's still people checking into my blog every once in a while.. Fwhee. :D Thank yews! <3

Just Reflections.

2010-03-10T01:19:00.002+08:00

Now that poly life is over, I think to myself that it's pretty hard to let go. Job offers, pay wages, stressful working life and boring endless hours of free time. I appreciate it. But I also miss the stress. Makes the things I do for leisure a lot more precious than what I feel for it, now that I have the free time.. :(

*sigh* Maybe I'll be updating this blog more. I don't know. The thing is that I doubt anyone would bother to come back and read. So maybe I'll get some privacy. Maybe I won't. Ah heck.

Anyway, my latest addiction is Pop'n and I feel that I'm improving pretty well. :) But with $2/game, it makes the the burn in my wallet so much more bigger than a regular Popn machine at AMK for $0.50/game. :( Too bad there ain't such machines popping up near the east anytime soon. Iluma, please bring in E-Amuse for Popn. Please bring in popn 18 and please price it at $1.50 for 4 songs. :(

Speaking of which, Iluma has a competition for Jubeat. Makes me remember the good old days whereby I was up against players who based their scores on sightread and not memory work. *sigh* A fine example would be Evans.

Whatever. Pop'n still takes dominance. Unless Append comes out then maybe I'd be more willing to spend on Jubeat.

Kudos.

Should I...

2009-12-26T06:24:00.000+08:00

start my Japanese and Drums lessons again?

This time, I don't want to quit halfway and let everything go.

Not because of friends quitting halfway.
Not because the class close down and I have to shift to the classes.

Santa, I need more money please. I have many things I want that money can buy. Boooo. (Don't we all?)

But one thing.. They are frigging expensive.

I want a lappy.
I want a PSP.
I want an iTouch.
I want a drumkit.
I want a new phone. (Achievable soon)
I want a Beatmania KOC. (Achievable soon)
I want my driving license.
I want my Drum lessons again.
And I want my Japanese Lessons again. :(

DAMMIT I WANT SO MANY THINGS! Oli. You cannot be greeeeeeeeedy.

But it's okay! :D

I'll slowly earn it myself. Bit by bit. Step by step.

And when I start to earn my keep next year, I shall take the step forward to pursue my passion again. :)

My Japanese. My drums.

And this time, I intend to see it right through to the end.

You know what?

2009-11-27T00:37:00.007+08:00

I'm fucking pissed off.

Just let me rant okay. Just let me fucking rant.

I'm fucking pissed off that I can't earn a bit of money so that I can balance out my DAILY MEALS, STUDYING AT STARBUCKS and just one. ONE. ONE SIMPLE GAME of IIDX per day. Don't even fucking talk about birthday presents. I survive on one meal per day just to sustain my hunger and end up getting a fucking gastric pain. Why don't I get a job? Cos I'm fucking focusing my energies into studying so I can pull up my low GPA score. Why? So I can get into a local uni. Why? 'Cos it's cheaper and my parents don't have to worry about paying more.

I'm fucking pissed off at my dad for assuming that "I played all day until I forget to eat" when it was because of abovementioned reason. And FUCK. I was STUDYING. I was DOING MY REPORT. I. AM. OFFENDED. I AM.

I'm fucking pissed off because this semester I'm trying so hard and my DAD has to come and say I PLAY so much. I fucking trying to put my 110% in all my lessons, try to read my notes beforehand, do my tutorials diligently (Okay fine. Sometimes I just don't bother.), put in my best for projects and he has the CHEEK to come and say PLAY? PLAY?? I barely even fucking touch jubeat anymore for god's sakes. I'm limiting to try at most 2 games of IIDX each time I go to the arcade. If I'm feeling rich, maybe 3 or 4.

I'm fucking pissed off that I always have to cut my sleep so I can finish up my projects, juggle my time with friends and my CCA until I always forget everything and mix everything up. Even with an organiser.

I'm fucking pissed off 'cos I'm stinky. I'm smelly. I haven't eaten dinner and my dad has the cheek to come and tell me that fucking sentence. I'm just so damn pissed off now.

I'm fucking pissed off at my dad for saying "Did you say Fuck to me? Just now?". NO I DIDN'T SAY FUCK TO YOU. I SAID FUCK TO THE SITUATION. IF IT WAS DIRECTED AT YOU, WOULDN'T I SAY "FUCK YOU" INSTEAD? FUCK. USE YOUR BRAINS DAD. USE IT. YOU HAVE IT, SO USE IT. FUCK.

I'm fucking pissed off cos my dad didn't even realise that HE OFFENDED ME. I DIDN'T EVEN OFFEND HIM. AND HE DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER SAYING SORRY. I DON'T GET ANGRY FOR FUN OKAY. I DON'T. I'M NOT AS IMMATURE AS I WAS BEFORE OKAY. I'M NOT. DON'T ASSUME THAT YOU KNOW ME DAD. DON'T. YOU'RE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF.

Overall, just FML.

I hope I'll get a better day tomorrow. Public holiday and I have a CCA meeting tomorrow so that the future leaders can take over properly. Zzz. They better do their work otherwise I would be pissed.

I'm off to chiong my Spa Individual Report. As if I don't have enough to do already.

2009-10-07T15:15:00.002+08:00

It's been outrageously long since I last posted here.. *blows off the dust* So I shall give a little update on what's going on in my tiny and cosy world. :P

What's happened is that there were many many birthday shoutouts to do but I was really too lazy so I text them or wrote on their FB wall instead. Hahaha~ Rah! What's left of my holidays I'm already booked to the brim so it's a struggle to make more appointments to fit into this tight schedule of mine.

I would love some time at home to try out the PS2 that my sister's bf, Ron lent me specifically for Beatmania but I have yet to get my hands on the 100 bucks KOC. In time to come in time to come.. I will definitely get one for myself. A DJDao PE edition with Sanwa buttons and my LED configurations is far too expensive for my pocket. Heck. It's 811 bucks incl. of shipping. Any nice sweet angel would like to sponsor? xD

Rah. I'm getting to the level 9s in Beatmania. Makes me feel pretty happy. In fact, I feel that soon.. Given time, I can clear most of the level 9s. All I need is MONEY and TIME. Boo. :( Recently, I got a HUUUUGE shock that I could pass Colorful Cookie Hyper (Lvl 10) and it really came as such a big shock that I can't ever pass it again. xD

Another accomplishment I'm really happy to say would be my Coming True EXT on Jubeat as well as my William Tell FC. :D Won't say the scores here but I'm just super super happy to the max! :)

Anyway, I'm relatively bored at home sometimes. I've been too lazy to get up, turn on the TV and watch my Taiwan dramas but I'm definitely not lazy to play Farmville and Café World on Facebook. Like wtf? xD

Anyway, short update is short update, I'm off to play Café World. :D

Cheers and Ciaos!

Shaman King

2009-08-27T10:37:00.005+08:00

Nooooooo. I can't expect anymore updates from OneManga on Shaman King anymoreeeeeee. *feels the sadness throbbing through my veins* But the final chapter 300 is FANTASTIC. I just can't believe that

*Spoiler*

Tao ren actually married Jeanne-Sama and had a kid called Men with her. SHIT MAN. It defies all the logic in the wonders of the world.

*Spoiler End*

ARGHHH! I can't have more Asakura Yoh delicious goodness on print anymore... Arghhhh. his long hair when he's grown up makes him look so haphazard (I still prefer him when he's young, definitely) but his character is still so kaaawaiiiii~ *hearts* Anna in the grown up version is really pretty though. :) Ren also looks effing different with his long hair and 3 spikes.. HoroHoro aka the BoroBoro and Chocolove don't look too different from their younger selves. :P

Hais. Ripples is coming out soon. Hopefully this weekend though. I can't stand the suspense any much longer.

Anyway, anyone can recommend me any good manga to read on OneManga? I'm bored to death at home surfing the same usual sites of SGCafe and Facebook.. And I'm waiting for the holidays to come so I can spam my animes that I've left untouched for almost a year.. Ugh. I wanna be a couch potato soon. *hearts*

Back to work. Ciaossu!

Natsu Matsuri 2009!

2009-08-24T12:36:00.005+08:00

Ladeedah..

Clearing the dust from my blog with a little mini update on my boring yet fun-filled life.. xD

I've got like 15 more minutes of my lunch time and perhaps I'll continue to update tonight.

Hohum. Where do I begin?

Okay. Let's start with NATSU MATSURI 2009!

Natsu Matsuri this year was epic fun with the lovely ladies Michelle, Cui Shan.. Along with the trio Wei Xiang, Roger and Damien, Sianster aka Phillip + one NOOBFADE (Jeremy) to hang around with. I got two of the Yoyo Balloons, one red and blue and it's so bouncy! Damn damn fun to play with especially if you're bored at home. I'm just praying that it can last the whole week without deflating or bursting.. xD As for the photos, maybe you can stalk muh FB and see. Lazy to post it up here and caption every single one.

The yukata I wore this year was this Yellow and Black yukata while Cui Shan and Michelle wore the green coloured ones. They both looked really "niang" and damn pretty.. *hearts* Then Cui Shan said: Eh. Oli. You macham the flower and we the leaves ah. HAHA! That comment really cracked me up.. Hmmm. But in my honest opinion, I think I looked like a Nonya in a Kabaya rather than a Japanese-y girl wearing her yukata. xD Too much of my own heritage and culture already. Oops.

Anyway, Bon Odori - during the event was epic! there's a new dance which is the Ponyo Song and omg.. Me, Michelle, Cui Shan, Sindy, Sianster and Jenson just totally went over the edge and super super super hiiiiiiiiigh! Omg.. SHING SHING SHING SHING SHING.. SHINGAPOREEEEEEEEEE! xD

Anyway, as for updates on IIDX and Popnmusic.. I'm getting better and progressing really well.. IMHO, I think I'm progressing faster on Beatmania rather than Pop'n..

Finally reached 6th Dan on IIDX! Really super happy! And I cleared Hanafubuki! But the thing is I keep on failing the darn song again.. Nevermind nevermind. If I passed Hanafubuki once, I can pass it again! xD AND. I. CANNOT. PLAY. WITHOUT. THE. PLATFORM. DAMMIT. So can only play at TKA@DBG, Arcadia@Iluma and TKA@AMK.. xD

As for pop'n.. I'm still pretty much stagnent at around the 30s-32s.. Ugh. It's so annoying. Though I'm pretty happy I finally managed to normal clear Comtemporary Nation 2 at iluma.. Whoots! I need to brush up on the scales for both Pop'n and Beatmania.. Ugh. Killing my pockets. I need to drop by AMK's TKA soon sometime this week so I can hone my skills again. xD

Rah. Enough about results. Short update is short update. This week on Thursday night, I'm going to Timber with girls (Interns) to omnomnom dinner cos it's Sarah Emmanuel's Birthday on Friiiiiiday! :D

And on Friday, going to makan with Damien, WX, Roger, Fade and maybe Elle at this place in Bugis that is a very Yakiniku-themed restaurant.. They've got an opening promotion for S$13/person and we going to eat till 2AM in the morning. After that? CHIONG TO WX HOUSE FOR IIDX + TRILOGY! :D RAWR! I have this siiiiinking feeling that on Saturday I'm going to be very blur, sehseh, clumsy and gong gong. @____@ Orooooo.

Rah. Time's up. Got 5 minutes left before lunch is officially over. Updates soon soon soon again! Especially with Seirensai 19 coming around the corner.. xD AND RIPPLES COMING OUT BY THE END OF THIS MONTH (hopefully)! :D Beatmania IIDX Sirius and Pop'n 18 is also in the pipeline. RAAAAAAAWR. I. Cannot. Wait!

Ciaossu!

JUBEAT RIPPLES

2009-08-06T00:36:00.004+08:00

DAMMIT JAPAN! WHY DO YOU GET ALL THE GOOD STUFF FIRST??

JUBEAT RIPPLES IS FINALLY FINALLY OUT in Japan.

OMGOMGOMG.

AND THERE'S A BENNIE K SONG IN RIPPLES. FARK LA!

I WANNA PLAY! ITCHY FINGERS!

Okay! Imma go research somemore. SEE YOU ON ONLINE PLAY! :D

Hatsune Miku

2009-07-27T23:27:00.004+08:00

Those who know Hatsune Miku Vocaloid would like this song. The full version of "packaged" ftw! :)

Hahaha! In case any of you guys don't know, Vocaloid is a voice synthesizer programme created by Yamaha. And a PSP game has just been recently released based on this Hatsune Miku. :)

Enjoy! x)

Shit.

2009-07-27T19:33:00.001+08:00

My fever is back with a vengeance.

Damn arrrrrrrgh!

2009-07-27T14:22:00.005+08:00

Feeling horrid now. I fell sick 'cos throughout the whole week, I was worried about the competition and who I'd be up against. Boo. Then I didn't drink enough water = TADAAAH! Sick. :) Hais. But this is my first competition in a music game so it was a frigging damn good exp and made the adreneline pump through my veins. x)

Ummm.. Mini updates for this little, plain, obsolete blog of mine:

AMKHub Zone X on Sunday was REAAAAAALLY REAAAAAAALLY packed! Machiam squished until we become canned sardines. Smell everybody's sweat and odour. Haha! Maybe 'cos got Animal Kaisen competition ongoing at the same time. So the arcade was packed with Teens (Jubeat) and families (Animal Kaisen).. Wow.

Anyway, on to the competition.. I went up against Kun Hao with Crosswinds Adv, Bass2Bass ext and Chance and Dice Ext. I was super super super nervous 'cos I was the first player in the group to play. Have to set the standard and see if got people beat my score okay! OAO Of course, naturally KH trashed me upside down la.

So for results: It was a close fight, but I still didn't manage to topple one of the elite 4. xD So in my group, I got 2nd place instead.. Haha! Well, they ARE called ELITE 4/FANTASTIC 4 for a reason. x) ((They should change from Lot1 to Lot4)) And I encountered Jas* in my group too. She's a pretty darn good player IMO. And so is Heki. OAO

Thanks to some people who made my day by texting me Good Luck! It really helped! Haha! Love you guys loads! :)

Anyway!

A BIG BIG CONGRATS TO CHASERZ AND KUROBE FOR MAKING IT TO TOP 2!

ALL THE BEST IN HONG KONG! We cheer you on from the tiny tot of a country called Singapore! :D Tell us flight details, we send you guys off to your victory! :D

RAWR.

Medicine kicking in. Naptime. Toodles. :)

waaaaah.

2009-07-23T11:37:00.002+08:00

One day closer. One step at a time. :D

I'm starting to feel that I'm slowly yet surely improving in Jubeat. What I need now is confidence.

Anyway, new high score for ISH! :D Happyness!

I need to practice more lower level songs. And Chaserz's i-revo is imba. OAO Scores I'll never dream of touching. Everyone is getting so pro. Including this fella and his GF who share a card called Kim. Daaark daaaark Horse.

NEED TO UP CROSSWINDS! SOMEONE TEACH ME HOW TO PLAY! OAO

Workworkwork. Forumforumforum. Toodles.
