And what about me? Heh, I used the spare wood to make this really nice stiletto! (Well okay, so it's not THAT nice, but it still kinda rocks) Spent some time playing around with it like a little kid before I went to chat with the lecturer instead. Heh, it was a rather interesting conversation we had. But to maintain the facade of glorious artistic harmony within one of our Nation's premier art institutions, I'm not gonna divulge the contents of the conversation. ^_____^

Dinner was at the coffeeshop next to my campus, the bak chor mee, absolutely fabulous. I'm addicted, I think. All of you gotta try it. It's really awesome! Spent some time chatting there before I suggested walking down to Orchard. I swear my school is cursed. There's some spell that binds me to it. Even when I'm not having classs, somehow, I'm still near my school, at the area, even now during my holidays I'm still at school. Almost every single day I find myself there. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH~!!!!!!!!!

Spent some time at the section with all the Art books, but left before Chou fell asleep. Nevar was having fun going through the one which had all the cats in it though, and yeah, that book was amusing, showing famous paintings such as the Birth of Venus, potrait of Henry IV and the Mona Lisa with said subjects replaced by cute little cats. Pervertedly cute, I tell you.

Finally home. Ooooh the ride home was bad. Got on the 190, hoping for a seat so that I could relax my aching feet and read my book, instead experienced what canned sardines feel like. So packed! >.< But it was funny listening to the couple standing next to me though. No, I wasn't eavesdropping on them. The lady just spoke loud enough for me to hear so well, I listened in. She was telling her man about how murderers and robbers were left alone in Singaporean jails, but how rapists and child abusers were repeatedly sodomised by their fellow inmates and how the wardens joined in with their batons, and how female inmates convicted for child abuse and such had plenty of funny objects shoved into their vaginas. Well, I wouldn't know the truth of her statements, but it sure was entertaining. Heh, apparent I wasn't the only one that was listening in since I saw a couple others turn to look and all. Me, I'm the discreet sort. And then she noticed cos she told her man off saying, "Ni3 shuo1 wo3 jiang3 hua4 bu4 da4 shen1, ni3 kan4! Mei3 ge4 ren2 zhai4 to1 ting1 leh!" (You said that I wasn't speaking loudly, look! Everyone's eavesdropping!" Heh, its not that Singaporeans are kapoh by nature (well actually we are), but when you start talking about such things loud enough, people listen.

Bath location: Bath at the clubhouse at Chestervale Condominium

The baths at my condo's clubhouse are decent. Just decent. They aren't bad, but they aren't anywhere near good either. So their decent. The interior isn't exactly fascinating, angling more towards 'public', which is what it is, but heh, I've seen plenty of baths at condo clubhouses which look just marvellous and beautiful. Anyway, first thing I noted when I walked in was that the bath was terribly hot, humid and stuffy. My sweat pores opened immediately with sweat forming all over my arms, neck, forehead, ooh, I hate that so much. And then the benches were wet, so I couldn't put my bag down >.< leaving me with no other option but to enter one of the rectangular cubicles where I hung my bag on the single hook provided behind the door. Yes, just one. Considering how cheap those hooks are, you'd think that they'll be nice enough to put at least one or two more but hey, everything's on a budget I suppose. So I hung my bag there, removed all the misc. articles I had on me (which is a hell lot) and put them into my bag's compartments before stripping (oooooh) naked (double ooooooh) and stuffing the clothes into my bag. Buck naked (tripple oooooooooooooooh) I took out my Shokubutsu bath foam (no shampoo and conditioner since I've already done that this morning and once per day is qute enough, considering that shampoo and conditioner isn't exactly cheap and I'm bugeted here, just like the management of this condo is) and placed it on the white porcelin soap holder (or whatever you call that) and turned on the shower. The showerhead is a fixed one slightly above my head with rotatable, adjustable head and yes, no puns intended. Water heat and pressure is controlled by a single level similar to the ones in my home with the extreme left for hot and the right for cold. I choose slightly cooler water since the temperature within the bath was, as I'd already mentioned, less then pleasant and allowed the water to cascade over me. One good thing, prehaps the only saving grace of the bath is that the water is absolutely marvellous. Intense pressure and nice, refreshingly cool water does wonders for a tired man. I stood under the shower longer then usual, allowing the water to fall onto my crown before flowing down and enjoyed the sensations produced by the rivulets of water trickling down my bare skin. Finally I turned off the shower and poured the bath foam onto my palms before soaping myself. Started with the hands and arms, moving on to my torso, and heh heh, right erm, anyway, soaped myself thoroughly before I turned the shower on once more and ooooh, the watering! Washed the soap off but continued enjoying the water beating down and flowing off, its almost like a massage really, since the pressure was pretty good. And then, satisfied, I pushed the level down to cut the flow of water. Instead of a cool, gentle breeze come glide against my skin to produce a nice, chilly and tingling sensation, I got the hot humidity like a bloody blanket smoothering me and it was just horrible. Even before I'd toweled myself dry, I was sweating again. And if this wasn't bad enough, some fella entered the cubicle next to mine and since the cubicle partitions only reach down to just above my ankles, when that fella started showering, water from his side came splashing into mine so that my legs, just dried, was now wet again. >.< Quickly changed into a fresh set of clothes that absorbed my sweat immediately and soon I was out of the bath, unsatisfied. Very.

So now I'm back home and oh damn, I'm hungry. think I better go rummage the house for food!

A day with Sickness and hairy shaven stuffs...

Sunday, June 8, 2003
08:56 p.m.

Woke up at 10 this morning to watch Sheep completing D&D again. He's pretty much very good at it, and I suspect he can play the game in his sleep. ^_^

Anyway, met up with Sickness just now, went over to our usual slacking spot at the Starbucks located over at the California Health and Fitness Club. He's just out of serving our nation and protecting my ass, as he so puts it, 2 weeks in reservist hasn't changed him one bit. Not that I ever expected it to, anyway. As usual, when the both of us meet up to chat, its always to talk the lamest of crap and to discuss philosophy and art. It's quite amusing how these 2 topics, each from the opposite ends of the spectrum are combined into something wholely entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time. Nonetheless, the session was, as always, fun and somewhat forfulling.

I also need to work on my spelling >.<

Anyway, ate over at the foodcourt at Lucky Plaza since we couldn't get a place at Takashimaya, I got ripped off (again), this time with a plate of crispy carrot cake (.50) that I found really unappeitising (sp!) Grrrrr. Or roar. Whatever ||| -_-

Then its back to Takashimaya, went to Kinokuniya where I bumoed into an old classmate. Unlike me, he hasn't changed at inch, still looks exactly the same 2 years ago, bulging muscles and all, heh, I wish I had some of his brawn. But we don't always get what we want, eh? I could go work out of course...or maybe not. ^________________^

Found a FLCL art book that I wanted to buy, except that it costs some ++, so regretfully I put it back onto the shelf. Also wanted to buy the Johnny the Homicidal Manic and the Lenore the Cute Little Dead Girl comic books, but as usual they cost too much and I'm broke. Sigh.

But then Sickness was kind enough to lend me his IC so that I could borrow a book from the library. 'A Married Man by Catherine Alliott', one of those English romantic comedies filled with sex, scandals and girl talk meant for ladies. Heh, but it looks interesting + I've read my fair share of such romantic comedies and since I enjoy them tremendously, who cares about the occassional wierd stares in buses and trains when I'm reading?

Book review coming up soon!

Oh and I found out from Sickness that Anthony Wong sings and even has 2 albums out! Downloading his songs now and I'm quite impressed. His voice is not half bad and if you understand Cantonese then you'll find most of the lyrics in his songs funny. Heh, talented indeed. I still wanna cosplay his Dai Fei character in Young and Dangerous!

On a random sidenote: Just an interesting thought: Now that the Great Singapore Sale is on, why aren't cigarettes on sale too? I sure could use a 50% discount on cigarette prices. Sigh...

And I really wanna get Johnny the Homicidal Manic~!!!!!!!

Intoxicating Sound Art not for the Masses...

Saturday, June 7, 2003
10:43 a.m.

Heh, just came back from Sheep's place where I was drinking and playing mahjong for the better part of the night. Hey Rach, when I told you that liquor would touch my barren lips before I slept yesterday, I wasn't lying. LOL~! Pretty fun and relaxing overall. Playing mahjong whilst semi-intoxicated is pretty interesting an experience I must say.

Took a shower at Sheep's before coming back home. Therefore to csrry on with my review of bathrooms, I give you Sheep's Bathroom:

The bathing cubicle in his bath is rather small, just nice for 1 standing person at a rather stationary position so this takes some getting used to, but since it isn't so small as to severely restrict movement, (you can still twist your torso and move your legs abit), I won't harbor too much on it. Lighting is pretty poor since only the secondary light is working - the primary one has conked out eons ago I think so it's oretty dim in there, especially since the light is a yellow one. The lighting could be considered romantic were the bath large enough for 2, but since it isn't, I'll stick with 'poor'. However, the showerhead at Sheep's is rather satisfactory, being able to produce a nice steady stream of water with temperatures ranging between extremely hot to cold. Temperature control comes via two knobs, one for the hot and the other for the cold water. It's kind of a mix and match of twisting both knobs to get the perfect combination, but I found out that if you want a nice warm shower, just turn the 'hot' knob to about 1/10th to 1/15th of its maximum value and the 'cold' knob to the max value. Once I had the water to my liking, I stepped under the shower and allowed the warm water to wash off a night's tiredness before proceeding onto the customary shampoo and body bath foam. Shampoo comes in the shape of the Follow Me Green Tea Shampoo, which didn't impress me at all. so I got through the shampoo part as quickly as possible before moving on to the bath foam. Sheep uses the Shokobutsu Green Tea body bath (sponsored by me) and since I'm a big fan of Shokobutsu, I knew what to expect. As usual, the gentle, moisturisng and cleansing body foam work wonders, and by the time I washed off the body foam I was fully refreshed and awake. Finally, because it's to small to dry yourslef within the shower cubicle, I stepped out to dry myself before exiting the bath.

Final Verdict: 5/10

Anyway, just as I was reaching home I was made privy to a piece of unexpected news, or prehaps it was expected since I'd had my suspicions but hand't given much voice to them so, it didn't come as that much of a shock, but I'm still feeling abit wierd now. Life has a funny way of throwing all sorts of lousy circumstances in my path and then leaving me all alone to work my way through them. But since this particular situation has been encountered by me in the past, I trust I will be able to handle it in a manner that satisfies myself, if not everyone else around me. But sometimes I'm allowed to be selfish, ja? But since I'm still rational, logical, calm and not emotional, I deserve the name 'Iceheart' that I claim.

Anyway, steering away from this distraction, back to what I had originally wanted to blog. Yesterday those around me were exposed to my Violin Concerto No.1. It started off as a joke inspired by the boredom that saturated my entire being. However, it has now evolved to what I feel is my very first artpiece, notwithstanding the works that I've produced in NAFA.

Most of you that have heard it scoff, and from a reasonable point of view you have every right to. But since when was I ever normal? So I will redo this project of mine again and entitle it Violent Concerto No.1. I intend to do a series of 7 short pieces.

Another project that I will embark on, an idea, or inspiration rather that came to me while I was on the bus to Sheep's place yesterday, another piece of sound art that will probably be entitled 'Sounds of the slowly dying people' within this 1 month break of mine. I'm pretty excited and can't wait to start on this one, which will probably be done beginning next week. Heh, wish me success eh?

Cheers! to Me!

Oh and I just got this Winamp Skin based on one of Piet Mondrian pieces, Composition with Red, Yellow and Blue. It's fucking awesome and completely captures the essense of his works. Since I'm a fan of Mondrian, I'm pretty pleased with this new skin and am using it right now. One of the little joys in life to offset the larger pains and dissappointments I suppose. I don't even bother wishing it were the other way round anymore. Heh.

In my depths of insanity...

Friday, June 6, 2003
04:26 p.m.

Ooooh my stupid com is conspiring against me. Everytime I say some egoistic it hangs. Everything I do something it hangs. The stupid bitch is hanging up on me al the time. Grrrrr. Or Roar. Whatever ||| -_-

So damn bloody bored today. So bored that I went to do the housework. Washed the clothes, put them out to dry, took the dried ones in to fold, and still I had plenty of spare time in my hands. My com hung (again), so I went to play with my Sister's violin and was in the midst of my concerto when my neighbor banged on the door and told me in cantonese that it sounded like I was slaughtering chickens and pigs in there. (xat che xat gai)

I will have to pause now because I'm going to take a bath because I just feel like it. Those of you that knbow me will know that I love taking baths. It's just so fucking relaxing.

INTERVAL

Right, back from my bath. I just realized that I take baths alot, and I take them at my friend's homes too. There are plenty of people out there that do food and movie and play reviews. I think I'm gonna do a bath review. Everytime I take a bath at a new place I'll do a review of my bathing experience. Let me start with my own home, the one I just had.

My home's bathroom is a pretty regular one with a fair amount of bathing space, or rather showering space, allowing me to move around as I bathe, which I don't, so its pretty redundant anyway. But having adequate space to shower is a good thing. It's fairly clean and new and the showerhead prodcues a nice and steady stream of water and like most modern showers, the temperarture of the water is controllable via the single knob or whatever you call that handle thingie that allows me to have boiling hot water if I turn it to the entreme left, or icy cold water should it be moved to the extreme right position. Set exactly atthe center, you get water that's still too hot for bathing so I moved it more to th right and got the perfect temperature. The steady stream of water, not to weak, which I hate, but neither too strong, which kills, soon had my muscles relaxing. Once I was well and properly wet (not in a sexual sense you deviants), I proceeded to shampoo my hair. In my bathroom, you'll find Lavenus shampoo, which I pretty much like, and after I washed off the shampoo, I proceeded to the conditioner. Now I had a choice of 'The Original Mint Source' conditioner or Lavenus conditioner. Now because of a bad experience with the Original Mint Source one, which left me with a headache and feeling sick all day, I used the lavenus one instead, whichis really good and moisturising. That done, I left the conditioner in my hair and proceeded to my body. Which is when I realized that I didn't have much shower creame, or whatever they call that. Lotion? Bath? bah, whatever, ||| -_-. Anyway, so since I didn't have much left, I mixed some water in and then squirted it all over myself instead of onto the hands like I usually do. At that very moment as I was squirting shower something onto myself, I felt like a hotdog having mayo and chilli sauce squirted into it, which I found kinda funny. Now I know what a hotdog feels like, haha. Anyway, that done, soaped myself up and down and left and right and all over before letting the water run again and I love the water running part. Noting else really matters but the feel of warm water against your skin, cascading down whist a cool breeze blows in, setting a natural chill against your body. It's really quite pleasurable I assure you. Finally satisfied, I turned the shower off and dried myself before heading back to my com where I'm doing the report now. All in all, a pretty satisfying and relaxing shower.

Final verdict: 7/10

Anyway back to my orginial topic. So being unable to play my violin, I called my mum instead to chat, but my mum wouldn't chat with me cos she was working and in the midst of a meeting, Instead of chatting with my mum, I got a scolding instead with her telling me to stop my myraid of stupid antics which are driving her up the wall. Apparently I call her too much for no apparent reason. It's not my fault that I love my mum and enjoy communicating with her right? Or maybe its just that I find it funny calling her when she's working. Hee hee.

So now no violin, no com, no chatting wif mum, I decided to do a survey...

THE GREAT SURVEY

A product of the depths of my insanity fueled by this utter, complete bordom which I am currently feeling, I thus present you with this survey that only one as bored as myself can think up off.

The objective of this survey is to find out just who really cares for me and who are my true friends. All in all, 7 people, close friends of mine were surveyed. They are: Sheep, Choumajin, Lamppost, Cow, Nevar, Mana and Gin.

Each of the friends surveyed received an SMS from me which said: If you con't reply in 5 minutes I will kill myself. Immediately after the last message was sent, I set the countdown timer to 5 minutes. Here are the results of the survey.

Lamppost replied before the 5 minutes, then he even called! *Touched*

Next to reply was Mana, also under the stipulated 5 mins. And after I replied to her reply telling her about this little survey that I was conducting, she told me that she had almost called me. *Touched*

Next up was Sheep, whom is disqualified, since he knew it was a joke. But blah, wanna me die rite? Hmmp. HaHa.

And then the five minutes went up.

It was a while later before Chou replied, saying that he was having has driving lessons. Hmmp. What if it was real? You wound me deeply. *Sob*

And as for the rest, being Cow, Nevar and Gin, up till now they have yet to reply. HMMMMMMMP! *Big raspberry* But I forgive you all cos I'm such a wonderful and forgiving friend! ^_^ (It could have been for real leh!!!!! T_T)

And so, only Lamp and Mana passed the test based on the requiements. And the uncaring rest *sob*... Sheep, of course, probably knew it was a joke plus he just knows me too damn well...BUT STILL! IT COULD HAVE BEEN REAL~!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then and again,

I am deeply deeply wounded.

Really! Don't laugh! Hmmp. >.<

Oh! Nevar just replied! "Who are you? Did you get the right number?" -_- Oh mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn..... >.< Nevy! How could you! >.< T.T

Latest news, Gin just replied, saying her phone was on silent mode. You're forgiven ^_^

Eh Cow leh...? >.< Cow~!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrr...

And now I'm done with blogging. Heh, if I can't have interesting encounters like Rainia, then I'll damn well create my own interesting situations so that my day, no matter now terribily boring or mundane its been, sounds interesting when blogged out. Ha! The power of words!

So I'm off to record my Violin Concerto No.1. Once I'm done I'll send this to all of you and then the lot of you can scream in agony and go deaf before death sets in. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... my new world-dominating superweapon. I'll advertise it as the neo-new age neo-DaDa neo-sound music and fleece a pile of money from my dying agnonized fans~!!!!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. I gotta ask Rainia how she uploads music onto her blog. I think I should do that for my Violin Concerto as well... *Evil Grin*

The ARTS...

Thursday, June 5, 2003
11:17 p.m.

Met up with Chou and Niikura just now, had dinner at Cafe Chic (again, but that place just rocks + my luck at dai dee was pretty good today ^_^) before going over to Plastique Kinetic Worms for the opening of the Sensitive Parts art exhibition. For myself, I was pretty impressed, though the number of art works weren't as many as would have been expected, nonetheless they had depth in them pertaining to the subject topic. I especially loved Chris Tan's B&W photography series which used fruits such as bananas and oranges and parts of the human body coupled with suggestive poses to convey a sense of erotism and deviant sexuality.

Found out that 2 of the 5 artists whose works make up this exhibition are people I know. The arts scene in Singapore is still pretty small afterall, unfortunately. Nonetheless, to Michael and Chris, cheers!

Anyway, while I enjoyed myself there, Chou was more interested in the cheese served at the reception which was quite awful and Niikura with the orange punch which she claimed was 'la', (spicy). Haha. I tried the cheese so I can attest to his distaste but I wouldn't know about the spicy orange punch though. ^_^

After the stint at PKW, Michael directed us over to the ACM where there's a Science Fiction-themed art exhibition being held. On our way there we went over to Raffles City where their having the 'Joyride', an innovative and interesting form of cineart. Sponsored by the Arts Concil, this FOC 4-min ride has you lying down on a circular carousel which spins whilst you look at the screen which is above you. The concept is that people, when they watch movies and flims, are rooted to their seats and thus not moving. So why not watch a flim which includes 360 degree movement which allows you to watch a flim from every angle? Most interesting and rather enjoyable indeed.

Finally we went over to the ACM for the Sci-Fi art exhib and lo and behold, entered the Asian Civilisations Measeum exhibs instead and ended up looking at funny looking dinosaur bones of mythical creatures, paintings of the Chinese 18 levels of hell, porcelin figures of various Chinese immortals and dieties et cetera. As it was late and near closing time, thus we were the only ones left in the dimply lit galleries which were filled with all sorts of rather scarly looking asian gods and demons and God knows what. And suddenly, the silence of the gallery was broken by a shrill piercing scream. Niikura's scream. One of the video-info screens had broadcasted something behind her, leading to shock and fright with transformed into a scream that near had me jumping. Haha. It was hilarious, hearing her scream then run out. Heehee. Anyway, closing time and we were asked to leave. I think I'll go back again to view the Sci-Fi exhibv which I missed today.

Well we left shortly after that and I dunno about the other 2, but oersonally I enjoyed myself this evening!

And since this month os the Arts Fiesta or whatever their calling it, I guess I've got lots more to look forward to! ^____________________________^ Support the local arts scene! The Arts is an important aspect of our lives and should not be overlooked. Artists are important. I am important! LOL~!

Anyway, finally, with Chou and Niikura gone, I walked over to the busstop at the National Library to catch the bus home when I was treated to a rather interesting spectacle which involved a couple and a stripped grey cat which was pretty cute.

Seated at the S-11 having their dinner (or supper) when the cat saunters along happily without a care in the world (or several, I wouldn't know) straight up to the couple. Seems that the lady's afraid of cats since she got up and ran off to seek shelter on the bus stop whilst her man tried to drive the poor creature away by stomping his feet and banging the chairs and doing all sorts of rather silly and ineffective things. Finally the cat sensed that it was unwelcome and walked away gracefully whilst the lady kept pointing to the cat and refused to go back to her seat even after her man informed her that the cat was gone (which was pretty obvious anyway). And just when he's suceeded in pursuading her to return, our friend the cat walks right back, sending the lady on her way again. this rather silly, but amusing episode repeated itself several times before the lady quickly rushed over while the cat was otherwise engaged at another table and in a flurry of activity, shifted to another table with her supper (or dinner) in her hands. Her partner follower along docilely (I've noticed that men don't really stand a chance against a woman's will these days. The ones that do are usualy abusive.) And then the cat returned.

Soon the bus came and I hopped on, and onboard the bus, I pondered the irony of it all. The goverment is culling cats these days since their a menance (supposedly) digging up trash bins and what nots, but here I just saw a cat behaving with more grace and style then 2 human beings whom looked for the world like monkeys. Oh well, I supposed I'm biased since I'm more of a cat-lover, eh Meanie, Mew Mew?

B&W

Thursday, June 5, 2003
09:56 a.m.

Woo, finally changed my layout~! Was getting kinda bored with having to highlight and all, kinda mafan I suppose >.< even though I loved the idea, but then I decided to do something in nothing but black snd white after I saw this really neat black and white simple 2-D flash animation without dialogue that really really really rocks. Guess the simple basics sometimes still works wonders eh?

Anyway, announcement time:

You are cordially invited to SENSITIVE PARTS, an art exhibition that probes the margins of human sexuality. Opens tonight (05/06/03) 7pm at Plastique Kinetic Worms, till 5 july.

For those of you that don't know, PKW is at 61 Kerbau Rd, near the KK Market at Little India.

This is an effort on my part to promote the local arts scene, hope that you guys will support it~!

On a side note, I really wanna watch the Vagina Monologues, hope that they'll extend it due to the bloody popular demand. >.<

It has also occurred to me that my current blog layout is Sheep friendly since being in B&W only, his computer can capture its full glory~!

Oh and I very much like this layout so I think I'm gonna be keeping it for some time...

Would you like to try som turkishh korffee, guv'nor?

Wednesday, June 4, 2003
02:59 a.m.

Heh, just came back from what was supposed to be a chill out session with Lamp, Mana and Gin...can't say things went as planned since it screwed up right from the very moment when we found out that the pub that I wanted to go to had just closed down. -_-;;;

And to think I was there just last week...so no more cheap undiluated bourbon coke, which just sucked ass.

Ended up at the Turkish restaurant next to the now defunct pub where me and lamp had beer and shesha, that turkish flavoured tobbaco which you smoke from a bong, i found it pretty much very mild, guess it was an experience for lamp and gin though, while mana absolutely refused to touch it, haha. We wanted to try the turkish korffeee without the 'r' or the English Ahmad Teee (spoken with an incredibily lame english accent) but well, decided on jolly good 'ol english beer in the end, which wasn't really english since a)we're at a turkish place and b)it's tiger beer. -_-

Ended up talking totally lame crap which was pretty funny I suppose, plus the patent of the new _|_(^_^)_|_ action which I will teach the rest of you fellas the next time we meet.

Still, felt kinda pathetic, slighly guilty since I felt like I wasted everyone's time. Sigh.... life sucks at times. Grrrrr. Or roar. Whatever. |||(-_-)

Still when Gin came, the fella that presumably owns that turk restaurant, some turk guy with funny english, well, poor and funny english anyway, thought Gin was 16 and checked her IC. It was fucking hilarious considering that the rest of us are like younger then her so...^___________^

That turk guy with the funny english was paying a hell lot of attention to Gin though...and he smokes good shesha...hella lot of smoke he produces. I have a rival, methinks. And Gin has a potential suitior? ^______^

Oh and Lamp called Chou 'My Chou', which leads us to suspect something deeper then just platonic friendship...but I shall not elaborate for the sake of my continued good health.

Oh and Gin's face was totally beetroot red after a few sips of tiger. Quite a sight I assure you.

Finally, hungry (extremely) with mana looking like she was wilting, we proceeded to roam the streets of dhoby ghaut through sommerset in hopes of finding food, but to no avail, till finally we got a cab and asked the driver to take us to a place near the area to eat. He brought us to Victoria Street, which pleased Mana since it's her street, or so she claims, and ended up at the coffeeshop next to my campus, which sucked big time since had I know it was open 24/7, we could have walked from the turkish place down to victoria street in 5 minutes max and saved all the unnecessary walking and the taxi fare...grrr. or roar. whatever. |||(-_-)

The bak chor mee was fucking awesome man.

And then we went home. In the taxi with Gin, she suggested sitting around our place 1st, so we got more beer from 7/11 since the one at my place plys alcolhol regardless of the time (rocks eh?) and went to seat at the pavillion where Gin proceeded to get herself intoxicated... -_-

Quite interesting, she's like the typical girl high on alcolhol... -_-;;; But I'll stop her so as not to embarrass her any further. Ask her yourself if you're interested. ^_^ being the gentleman that I am, I sent her home before walking back home. Yes, I am actually a gentleman, don't choke or scoff or whatever shit it is that you're doing now when reading this extremely egoistic sentence and for the love of bloody (CENSORED) believe me.

Still, I dunno. On one hand I'm kinda dissappointed that things didn't go as planned, guilty since I feel like I wasted everyone's time, esp. mana whom didn't have anything at all, and yet on the other, we did have a good enough time (I hope), so well, I dunno. Was it a good night or not? *shrugs* Whatever |||-_-. Or maybe just _|_(^_^)_|_ which is actually kinda done like this: _|(- ^)_|...er, nvm. I think its better if I do it IRL.

Too bad I can't do that fake english accent thing in here since words don't quite carry the pronounciations...so I'll just do it next time and irritate the lot of you to death.

Oh and guys, should we do a Young and Dangerous team for the Aug 1 cosplay at Zouk? I wanna be Dai Fei (Da Fei), and Lamp can be Dai Teen Yee (Da Tian Er) and well, seems kinda fun so...

So I'm bloody tired and I'm gonna retire. Ja la.

Hope you guys had fun though.

Boredom sets in...

Exerpt from the recent conversation I had with Rach:

DarthTotenkopf: i'm looking at youe pics now
DarthTotenkopf: you're cute
DarthTotenkopf: you remind me of my sister
DarthTotenkopf: one of them anyway
alyana mage: really?
alyana mage: i'll take that as a compliment

Got this off Sheep's.

Quiz:Click here

My answer:

You are a Swan!
Very committed, you know how to treat your partner well. You look after their best interests and have complete respect for them. Easy going, you like to be sociable but enjoy your partner's company. You're at your happiest when tucked up in bed with your loved one. You prefer sensual, sexy love making rather than a quick romp, that's the only way to find true pleasure and reach sexual nirvana!

Chou's party was on Saturday. It was loads of fun! Hehheh, Winning 11 was a bloody blast with the NBCB soccer team, Mahjong after not having any for so long, everything, you guys, the atmosphere generated and all, really enjoyed myself. Only feeling bad for keeping Daddy Sheep up all night because of the noise. >.< Gomen gomen!

Heh heh, now I'm pretty much bored. All alone at home after my grandmother decided to move back to her place after an altercation with my parents, pretty shitty. I hope she comes back soon damnit.

Yesterday on the way to church I kept falling asleep on the bus and dreaming that I was still in Sheep's place, random scenes with all you guys in them, pretty wierd. Wonder what my mind's up to these days.

Yeah and I'll continue the walkthrough later on. Right now I gotta go hang the clothes out to dry. That's what happens when you're all aone at home. You start doing all the housework. >.<

#110 - The one with the walkthrough chapter V

Chapter V

After Choumajin joins your party, a police car arrives and 2 police officers and an ISD agent run up to you. They see Takuya's dead body and instead of arresting you for murder, thank you instead. Seems that Takuya is working for a foreign goverment and has been involved in a plot to destablize the Republic. The authorities haven't been able to put him away through legal means since he hasn't openly done anything criminal and you've just taken care of him for them. After that, the agent asks for your name, and when you reply, he recognizes Toten as the son of Commander Khong. The party is then invited back to the SPF's cantoment headquarters. You are then transported into a room within the cantoment complex where a couple of ISD agents and high ranking police officers talk to you. This is when you find out that Toten's father isn't really in the police force. Rather, he is in fact the commander of the Internal Security Department! Or rather, the missing commander of the ISD since Commander Khong dissappeared a week ago. Toten relates that his entire fsmily is missing, and wonders what's going on. That's when the Police Commissioner tells you that your father, and family may have been kidnapped by the foreign agency Takuya was working for. However, the commissioner declines to reveal which agency that is. Nonetheless you now have your first clue to the dissappearance of Toten's family. The meeting ends off with the commissioner assuring you that the goverment is putting all efforts into the recovery of the ISD's commander and asks for your discretion in this issue. You agree, and leave.

Now you know that Toten's dad and family has been kidnapped by a foreign agency, its time to snoop around for some clues since you won't sit idly by and leave this whole issue to the goverment. Your only clue is Takuya, whom is dead. This is when Sheep suggests going through Takuya's car to see if he has left anything behind. Unfortunately, the car has been taken away by the police and is now in the police pound. To get into the pound, you will need to steal four ISD warrant cards. And you just happen to be in the cantoment complex...

You're at the first floor, the lobby. Go to the reception counter and talk to the receptionist. Tell her that you have an appointment with the ISD Agent that brought you in. If you can't remember his name, its Agent Smith. (haha) She then puts a call through to Agent Smith and you talk to him over the intercom. Tell him that you have further questions for him and he will send someone down to bring you up to his office. Follow the officer that comes for you and he will lead you to Smith's office. Go in and talk to him. Just make short conversation and then thank him. Then search his table to find:

Certificate of Office x 6

Now, leave his office. The reason we came to talk to him is to enter the ISD offices in the complex and to get the certificates of office. Fill in four of the certs with the names of the four members in the party, 1 name for each cert, then from his office turn right and walk straight down the corridor till you come to the last door. Ignore the other doors, going in them will only get you booted out of the complex. Enter the last door and talk to the officer behind the desk. He asks what your're here for, tell him that the four of you are here to take your warrant cards. give him the four certificates and wait. He soon returns with four warrant cards. Welcome to the Internal Security Department!

Now that you've got your warrant cards, leave the complex and head for the police pound. To do so, take the lift which is just left of the place where you got your warrant cards and go down to the basement carpark where Chou's car is. Get in the car. Toten comments that Chou should get a bigger car, Chou tells Toten to shut up. Toten then asks if he can smoke in the car, Chou says no and Toten sulks. Toten's morale will then drop by 5%. Now drive to the police pound, which you can find by clicking on your map. When you arrive at the pound, you are stopped by the sentry. Tell him that you're ISD agents, show him the warrant cards and you'll be allowed to enter. Park the car inside the compound and walk to the main building. Inside, walk to the counter that's just infront of you and tell the officer on duty that you're ISD agents, flash your identifications again, and ask to be taken to where Takuya's car is stored. The officer will then show you to Takuya's car. Once there, search the car to find:

Takuya's journal

Take the journal and read it. Basically the journal confirms that Takuya is a traitor to the Republic and is working for another power to disrupt the harmony in Singapore. It also confirms that Toten's father and family has been taken by the foreign power. Finally it says that he(Takuya) has been instructed to meet with his contact in the slums at Jurong Point for further instructions.

Leave the pound and drive to Jurong Point.

Park in the JP carpark (which costs money), and go up to JP shopping center. There are a few enemies here, simple ah bengs and delinquents and should be handled easily esp. since you have Chou and Nevar now, and restock your supplies in the shopping center if needed. Toten should probably buy a few more packets of cigarettes anyway. (His morale will drop if he dosen't smoke.)

After that, leave JP and walk south towards the bus interchange. The passage from JP to the bus interchange is the slum area. Here you will meet ruffians whom are slightly harder then ah bengs. Along the way a girl will bang into you before walking off. You have just been pickpocketed. When you try to stop her, she runs off. DO NOT give chase since you won't be able to catch her anyway, and you will draw attention to yourself and scare the contact away. Continue walking down the slums till you come to a newspaper vendor. The contact is standing next to the vendor. Talk to the contact, and he becomes suspicious and attacks you. Halfway through the fight he will flee. Chase after him. He leads you down an alleyway where you will be ambushed by about 10 ruffians. By the time you dispatch of them the contact would have dissappeared. That's when you catch sight of the pickpocket again. This time, when she tries to run, go after her. You catch up with her and after some random chatting, a fight ensures, one which she will flee from halfway. Again you lose her. Toten will swear and you will have a chance to learn a whole new dictionary of explatives. (Again, if this is the singaporean edition, all these will be censored off)

Now, without thief or contact, walk back to the JP carpark and on the way, as you're passing by the POSB bank, you'll hear sirens wailing and alarms blaring. Go to investigate.

Seems like your thief has just made an unsucessful attempt at bank robbery and the police are en route to arrest her any moment now. The theif runs to you and begs for your help. Agree and with her, quickly go to the carpark and stuff her into the boot of Chou's car. Druve past the police cars and you might get stopped by the police. If they question you, simply lie. If they ask to search the car, flash your ISD warrant and they'll salute you before leaving you alone. Now go back to Sheep's place and pull a near-fainting thief out of the car boot and bring her up to Sheep's house.

Back in the apartment, a cutscene will show a thankful thief complains about being stuffed into the car boot and all. Toten threatens to haul her back to the cops and she quickly changes her tune and returns the stolen cash. She is then told about the contact and when he is described to her, she recogizes the fella and claims to know where he usually frequents. Then, she asks to join the party. Accept that you would have gotten your thief. Everyone in the party gains 38,000 exp points.

Mana, a lvl 1 thief's beginning stats are:

Health: 100/100
Attack: 2
Defense: 2
Strength: 2
Marksmanship: 5
Dexterity: 6
Knowledge: 2

In her inventory she has:

Plus I saw a fair number of those my age there, though we were outnumbered by the middle-ages, nonetheless its nice knowing that there are others my age that appreciate such good music.

Chapter IV of the walkthrough is finally complete~! read it below this entry~!

Woo, Cafe Chic rocks man. Good food, good prices, nice place and the boss is a great guy + good daidee player. Haha, slacked there for the better part of the day, taught Nevy how to play daidee, luck pretty good today, so won quite a few hands. Hahahahahahahaha, if Nevy everyday play, soon m3h gotta watch out liaoz, then the 2 can play strip daidee. LOL~!

Went to check out Spotlight later and well, the sale-drawn crowds were there in force! Don't think I've ever seen so many people there before! Ended up getting nothing either, haha. And then off to play pool...

Piece of advice, don't ever go to the place at the top of Lucky Plaza if you wanna play pool. The tables there really suck, they have next to no padding. The balls are too light, too lousy, and the ques are horrible. Which is why we had balls jumping and flying all the time. It was insane. Not to mention expensive. Very fucking expensive. >.<

Just came home from drinking, found a great place to drink. And it's also damn near my school~! opposite Parklane, the bourbon coke only costs per jug, and its not diluted, kick still there. Woo~! My school is cursed! Even when I slack, I find myself in its vinicity, like it will never let me go~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL~!

Two of my friends are at my place now fooling around, I think I'll just go sleep since I can't think of a way to end this entry nicely. Haha.

#109 - The one with the walkthrough continued

Wednesday, May 21, 2003
08:28 p.m.

Ok, as promised, back to the walkthrough. This is chapter IV all over again...

Chapter IV

In the last chapter, you've rescued Nevar. Now a cutscene appears showing Totenkopf questioning the reason for his capture in his own home, and wonders where his parents and siblings are. Sheep suggests going back to his place to rest first. Toten insinuates that Sheep and Nevar simply want to make out and gets smacked by Nevy. Sheep grins stupidly and gets smacked by Nevar as well.

After the cutscene, you appear in front of the Parc Vista Condo. Remember the parc vista resident card you picked up in Sheep's house before going to rescue Nevar? Take it out and show it to the security guard to gain admittance. After that, walk straight, skirt the swimming pool, walk into the left tower, tower 1, turn left, go to the lift, go up to the 11th floor, exit, turn left again, go to the door on the left and have Sheep open the door.

Rest the night there to regain HP and MP as well as to clear fatigue, Sheep and Nevar will gain morale +45%, Toten loses morale -15% because, as he will say, 'he couldn't sleep the whole damn night because it was too fucking noisy inside.' (If this is the Singaporean version of the game then the word 'fucking' will be censored. Therefore, please support piracy) Then, Toten will receive an sms from a friend, and your next playable character, Choumajin. Choumajin needs help, he needs to borrow S0.00 to pay for some guy's car repair costs after he reversed his car into that fella's car and he needs the case in 4 days max. (In Chou's defense, it was a rainy day, the road was slippery and visibilty was poor) On to your next quest.

Now, you will need to raise S0.00 and you only have 4 days to do so. Don't bother choosing the 'go visit Chou' option after Toten reads the sms, it's only a waste of your time since you don't have the cash, all you will get is Chou sitting glumy in his house. What you need to do now is to raise the cash, so here comes the fun part.

Toten and party must now earn that amount, and to do so, they will need to beat, kill and steal that amount out of enemies such as delinquents and ah bengs, as well as innocent victims such as the elderly, the pregnant and the young. However, be warned, whilst attacking innocent and helpless victimes means very easy cash, however, stay at it for too long and the law will come after you and when they do, it will be game over. Besides, everytime you kill innocents, your party's reputation rating drops, and that's not good since it will have far reaching consequences. The trick is to wack the defenseless in moderation. Go for those such as businessmen, since they are liable to have more money then say small primary school kids with only a meager daily allowance. Remember, you don't have all the time in the world. You have have a pathetic 4 days. So start hunting, killing and looting the dead bodies of your random faceless enemies whilst gaining exp all the while. If you wack only enemies for this 4 days straight, you will not be able to raise the required amount since ah bengs and deliquents aren't exactly rich. Look out for businessmen with ther fat wallets, or the elderly with their gold jewelery which you can exchange for cash at the pawn shops in the neighbourhood centers. By the end of the 4 days, if you do it right, you should have the required amount as well as leveled up the 3 characters that you currently have.

This time, instead of learning a fixed spell like in ther previous lvl up, Toten and Sheep will now be able to choose from amongst a couple of spells. Toten can learn 1 new spell whereas Sheep gets to learn 2. I suggest that Toten learns Shadowform. Unlike other spells, Shadowform has no lvl ups. In Shadowform, as its name implies, Toten becomes a shadow. In shadow form, Toten cannot attack. However, neither can he be attacked, making this an excellent spell for escaping as well as scouting around at night, since this spell renders him invisible at night. Shadownform costs 1 mana per second to cast and may be cast as long as he has mp. Which means that if Toten has 100 MP, the spell may last for 100 seconds, unless it is uncast halfway. He also gets 2 upgrade points for his learnt spells.

Sheep may choose to learn 2 new spells. I would suggest lighting bolt lvl 1 so that he may learn chain lightning later on in the game and as for the next spell, I would suggest Tongue of Flames lvl 1 to increase Sheep's offensive rating. Lightning Bolt is a standard bolt of lighting that rates exactly the same as the Fire Bolt except that it also stuns the enemy for 1 turn, meaning that this spell can be used on targeted enemy repeatedly without any possible retailation. Tongue of Flames is a 2nd level spell that when cast, a jet of flames shoots out of the caster's hands to the targeted enemy. Any other enemy that is in the way or walks into the path of the flames shall also receive damage. This spell has a range of 6 and lasts for 4 turns. It deals a damage of -12 health per turn at lvl 1 and costs 20 mana to cast. He also gets 3 upgrade points for his learnt spells.

At this point, the party members will also get weapon mastery points. There are a wide variety of weapon classes in this game, but not every weapon can be used by every character. Toten, being a vampire, is able to learn mastery in Sword, Saber, Foil, Epee, hand-enhancement, dagger/knife, firearms and darts. Sheep, being a mage is able to learn mastery in staff, wand and dagger/knife classes. Nevar gets wep. mastery points for Spear, Javelin, Whip, Sling, Darts, Shortbow, firearms and Parang. Toten and Sheep both get 3 points whereas Nevar gets 6 points. *Note, don't bother putting points into firearms since you won't be getting those any time soon*

Unlike Toten and Sheep, Nevar dosen't know magic spells. Instead she will be able to learn a variety of skills. Right now she can learn a new skill. Chose double strike, it's a very useful skill that allows Nevar to attack twice in a turn with a 20% chance of doing double damage with each of the 2 attacks and a 40% chance of doing double damage in 1 of the 2 attacks. Double strike uses up 10 stamina points, which in turn affects fatigue level as well.

Now with the money, go meet Chou and he will bring you to meet the fella whose car got rammed in. The fella is Takuya, and after you meet him, a cutscene will appear showing him taking the money, then saying that its not enough and demands more lest he takes Chou to court. An argument ensures, and the cutscene ends with Toten saying, "lets just kill this fat bastard, keep the cash, take his car and be done with this sorry business."

Now, kill the sub-boss Takuya. Takuya, you will soon realize, is a pushover. No guide is needed here, you should be able to handle him easy. Once he's dead, plunder his dead body to find:

Car Keys
.10
Baseball cap
silver ring
Softball Bat +1

A cutscene appears showing Chou immensely thankful and grateful et cetera. He then offers his help should it be needed, and is asked to join the party. He agrees. Now, you've gotten your newest party member, Choumajin. Cheers!

Choumajin, a lvl 1 Paladin has beginning stats of:

Health: 220/220
Attack: 5
Defense: 6
Strength: 5
Marksmanship: 1
Dexterity:2
Knowledge: 1
Charm: 2

In his inventory he has:

Car keys

He dosen't have a beginning weapon, so you should equip him with the softball bat taken off Takuya's corpse. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

And so, the fourth chapter is concluded.

Early is the morning...

Tuesday, May 20, 2003
06:45 p.m.

The last layout, the one that survived for less then a day. Here comes this new one, which I entitle 'Everything Gone'. A rather apt name, if I might say so myself.

Indeed the name, color and layout of my blog aptly reflects the state of my heart, my soul, my being. Like the white snow that covers the green fields in coldest death, so is my heart like unto ice.

I had just found out last night that a relationship between a girl, a friend whom had endeared herself to me was impossible. Amazingly, or prehaps, unamazingly, I felt nothing. Neither anger nor sadness nor spite nor happiness nor joy. I felt nothing, emotionless and cold. I slept peacefully that night, what little sleep I could catch anyway, after finishing my projects, and woke up this morning tired due to an intense lack of sleep, shitty due to the residues of fever, but my heart was fine, my soul, empty.

There are those that question about my state of being, I suppose I am supposed to be wallowing in misery and pain and hurt and self-pity right this very moment, dinking myself into insensibility and indulging in other vices in an effort to suppress whatever boundless pain that I should be feeling. Others wonder if she ever meant anything to me at for, for me to be able to drop everything so casually. Finally one of them ascribed my general lack of negative feelings to my fever.

The last one amused me the most.

But to answer everything, no, I am neither hurt nor sad nor anything of this matter, yes, she did mean alot to me and no, it is not because of the fever that I seem my usual self and yes, I do well and fully appreciate the depth of the whole situation that has come about with this latest development and do not intend to finally crack one day and go insane.

I have long suspected that I am lacking in emotions, my heart made hardened and cold and cynical due to the many blows that I have taken in the journey to where I am at present. Once again my suspicions have been proven right. Cold, stable Logic, not fluctuating emotions rule me, and I see no need to degenerate into animalistic feelings that would ultimtely prove useless and quite unproductive anyway. I have been through far worst then this before, in terms of love and other things, I handled some of them badly, which is why I will not make the same mistake again.

To be sure I have for long been without companionship, well, it seems like I'll just have to wait longer then. Lonliness can be handled easily enough, and the feeling is fleeting, after all. I will find myself the right girl one day, just not today. If it isn't meant to be, then it isn't meant to be, no point forcing the whole issue, it would only make everyone unhappier. One must learn to known when let go, least one gets dragged deeper into the mire. This may sound defeatist to some, as though I am simply giving up without having fought all the way, but I disagree. I can find no rationale behind prolonging this issue, it would only serve to antagonize her, and myself. Rather, I am pleased that we have come to terms with the past, it is time to move on. Her continued friendship gives me pleasure enough, none of the avoidance that I so very much dislike and scorn.

And so, I trust, everything is back to normal and this never happened, except, prehaps, to strengthen the friendship, I hope.

But enough of this business, is is past and done. But with this do I accept the nature of myself. My heart cold and emotionless like ice, and as it has been, so it is and shall forevermore be. Thus have I decided to formally adopt 'Iceheart' into my nick and shall now be known as Totenkopf Iceheart. It is more of a name now then a nick, and does of you with me in their blog names, kindly add the Iceheart in behind the Totenkopf. Thanks.

Still, I am happy to announce that the sesmester is finally over, my projects and done and submitted and now, for a month and a week, I can finally relax! I plan to do many things, including getting back to the walkthrough and friendfics that I have left in mid process, playing RO again, clubbing and chilling out, watching and betting on soccer again, drinking more and generally slacking~!

Woo Hoo~!

Tired. Damn tired. Final assessment on tuesday, not much sleep lately rushing projects. Had my typography project rejected yesterday after I spent 15 hours straight on it. Found out today that my anatomy might or might not pass, I'm dead beat, stressed, tired. I've got until tuesday...

Been feeling out of sorts lately, the usual humor isn't there much now. I need a break. Looking forward to tuesday when the load will finally be off.

The blog is supposed to be a journal, abeit online. And yet I find myself unable to put everything that I would like to pen, or in this case, type, down. So much kept hidden, undisclosed. Would it be that I had the courage to have them down, I fear I do not. Such pathetic confusion and human emotions that strke at times, unexpectedly, detrimental, really. Of course were I not plagued by these sudden flashes of doubt, this paragraph would not be down on my blog. And so much of what is down here is that which is already known by those around me, closer to me, the only ones that probably read my blog anyway. Ergo, why blog at all?

And so I have typed myself out of the conflicting emotions that had just ran freely within me for those few moments and thus the calm is back, the cold calm and lack of emotions beneath everything which is my security. I feel so much better already.

I need my rest, everyone around me is telling me that I look terrible, They are right, my body tells me so. I think I shall catch sime sleep tomorrow since there will be none to be had for the next couple days.

And after tuesday is over I will be back to blogging down the walkthroughs and what nots, the bits and pieces already known for pleasure's sake. And then comes the relaxation. I look forward to watching soccer again, betting on it, feeling the rush when my team scores and I win cash, back to clubbing, the music, the ambience and the alcolhol, back to slacking without a care in the world, back to my half completed stories which are to be penned out, back to reading...but I ramble, and begin to distract myself from the current task at hand.

And so it ends, this entry.

Also, welcome Sickness into Team NBCB as well as being our official photographer~!

Now, on with the walkthrough~!

Chapter IV

In the last chapter, you've rescued Nevar. Now a cutscene appears showing Totenkopf questioning the reason for his capture in his own home, and wonders where his parents and siblings are. Sheep suggests going back to his place to rest first. Toten insinuates that Sheep and nevar simply want to make out and gets smacked by Nevy. Sheep grins stupidly and gets smacked by Nevar as well.

After the cutscene, you appear in front of the Parc Vista Condo. Remember the parc vista resident card you picked up in Sheep's house before going to rescue Nevar? Take it out and show it to the security guard to gain admittance. After that, walk straight, skirt the swimming pool, walk into theleft tower, tower 1, turn left, go to the lift, go up to the 11th floor, exit, turn left again, go to the door on the left and have Sheep open the door.

#107 - The one with the walkthrough Chapter 3b

Thursday, May 1, 2003
03:29 p.m.

At the end of chapter 3a, you would have just entered the room in which Skye is holding Nevar. Chapter 3b requires you t defeat Skye, rescue Nevar and escape from the school.

Chapter IIIb - Nevar's rescue pt.2

Upon entering the room, a cut scene will appear showing Nevar tired to a chair in a state of semi-undress. Skye appears and says that Sheep has fallen into her trap. She has captured nevar not bacause she has taken a sexual interest in Nevar, but because she hates Sheep and has used Nevar to lure Sheep here where she may then kill Sheep.

After the cutscene, Skye will call for many of her lackeys to attack you, being delinquents and ah bengs. The trick here is to ignore the lackeys and head straight for Skye, since there is no end to the lackeys. The moment Skye is defeated, a cutscene will show Skye begging for her life as Sheep advances upon her relentlessly. Thereupon he grabs her and throws her out of the window where she falls to her death, impaled upon the fence below the window. Immediately after the cutscene, defeat the remainding lackeys in the room and no more will come to reinforce. After that, Sheep will walk up to where Nevar is tied and free her where upon she embraces him. At this point Nevar will thank you for rescuing her and joins the party.

Nevar, a Amazon Warrioress lvl 1 stats are:

Health: 120/160
Attack: 4
Defense: 4
Strength: 3
Marksmanship: 4
Dexterity: 2
Knowledge: 2
Charm: 2

In her inventory she has:

.60
EZ Link card with .30

Her beginning weapon is Billard Cue + 1
The spear like weapon has a range of 2 and deals +1 damage.

After this, Toten and Sheep will level up.

At level 2, Toten will learn 1 new spell - Terror lvl 1. Toten may cast Terror on a group of enemies within a radius, and all affected will run around stupidly for 3 turns at level 1. This spell requires 14 mana to cast and has a range of 4. He may then upgrade one of his first 2 spells to lvl 2. I suggest upgrading the Bolt of Icy Shadows since it allows him to deal more damage from fall off.

Sheep will be able to learn 2 new spells, the first being - Paralysis lvl 1. Sheep may cast this spell any any one enemy and the target will be unable to move for 4 turns. This spell requires 10 mana to cast and has a range of 5.

The second spell he will learn is - Wall of Fire lvl 1. When this spell is cast, a wall of flames will appear at the casting location. All enemies whom touch this wall will receive a damage of -5 health for every turn and the wall lasts for 5 turns. This spell requires 20 mana to cast and has a casting range of 3.

Also, Sheep may choose to upgrade any 2 of his starting 3 spells to lvl 2.

After leveling up, search top right corner of the room for:

Bottle of Lemon Tea x 1 - Temporary increases Nevar's attack and defense by 40%.
Box of Chalk x1 - 20 sticks of chalk within, Nevar can use these as darts to deal damage to enemies from range.

One you've taken the items, exit the room and be confronted by a horde of enemies. You have to get out of the school quick because the principal has called the police. If they come, you'll be arrested and its game over. Now that you have Nevar, use Toten, cast Terror on the enemies and have Nevar melee attack the terrified enemies. Sheep supports with firebolts, rush through the horde. Run straight from the room and turn right at the first corner, go down the flight of steps then turn left, run straight, defeat the enemies, DO NOT stop to pick up the things they drop, it will waste valuable time. The thing here is to escape. Soon you will come to the courtyard. Go to the east pathway and run straight where you will come to the school gates. The last group of enemies awaits you there. Once you've murdered the delinquents, leave the school.

Chapter IIIb completed. Not bad for a day's work.

#106 - The one with the walkthrough chapter IIIa

Wednesday, April 30, 2003
03:17 p.m.

At the end of Chapter Two, you would have just met Sheep, your new companion and the 1st one to join your party. Sheep is a Sorceror at lvl 1, and his starting stats are:

Health: 80/80
Mana: 120/120
Attack: 1
Defense: 2
Strength: 2
Marksmanship: 2
Dexterity: 2
Mageskill: 6
Knowledge: 5
Charm: 2

In his inventory he has:

Nothing

Sheep's beginning weapon is the Bamboo Stick of fire +1, which gives him an attack of +1 and increases his fire element spells by 5%. It requires strength: 0 and dexterity: 0 to wield it.

His starting spells are:

Fire Bolt lvl 1. When Sheep casts this spell, he shoots a bolt of fire from his palm to strike his opponent. This spell deals a damage of -15 health lasting for 1 turn only. It requires 6 mana to cast and has a range of 7.

Mage Shield lvl 1. This is a defense spell that can be cast by Sheep onto himself or any of the party members. When cast, the recipient of this spell will have a blue aura surrounding him/her, blocking the 1st attack made against him/her and then raising the recipient's defense by 25% at lvl 1. This spell lasts for 6 turns at lvl 1 and costs 15 mana to cast.

Scorching Palms lvl 1. This spell has a range of 1, meaning that Sheep must be right next to the target to cast this spell. When cast, Sheep reaches out and grabs the target, his hands burning with heat. This spell deals a damage of -20 health and requires 5 mana to cast.

Now back to the walkthrough. When SHeep opens the door, a cutscene will appear showing his suprise and pleasure at seeing Toten. He then invites Toten in and listens as Toten relates his escape from the Chestervale Condominium. After that, Sheep informs Toten that Sheep's girlfriend, the Amazon Warrioress Nevar has been kidnapped by the irritating lesbian pervert Skye and her cronies. Apparently one of Skye's underlings drugged Nevar's drink whilst Nevy was waiting for Sheep at the Graffiti Cafe and had her spirited off. By the time Sheep arrived (late, as usual ^_^), his girlfriend was gone, in the clutches of the irritating bitch Skye. Sheep then implores for Toten's help in rescuing his girlfriend and Toten's friend. Toten agrees. Thus begins the 3rd Chapter.

Chapter Three A - Nevar's rescue.

In Sheep's house, walk over to the computer table and find:

EZ Link card with value of .70
Parc Vista Condominium Resident Card

Then walk to the fridge in the living room by the dining table and open it to find:

Oolong Tea x 1 - Regenerates Sheep's health by 25%
Bottle of Beer x 1 - For Toten.

Then walk into Sheep's room and search around to find:

Porn Magazine x 1 - Increases morale for Sheep or Toten by 30%

After that, leave the house. Just as you are about to leave, Sheep says that he should get his two familiars. Walk into Sheep's kitchen, open the other door in the kitchen and a cut scene appears, showing Sheep summoning his 2 familiars, the black cat Mew Mew and the white cat Meanie. These two cats are Sheep's most useful items, since they can be used to scout ahead of the party undetected. Once per day Sheep may draw upon them to regenerate 20% of his mana. Also, during battle Mew Mew and Meanie has an attack of 1 combined, and defense of 2 combined. Also, because of their agility, they are hard to hit. Finally, each has a health of 20/20.

Once you've gotten the 2 cats for Sheep, leave his house and take the lift down. Walk back to the gate and leave the condo. Retrace your path back to the overhead bridge and cross it. Along the way you will probably meet a few more few ah bengs, but they shouldn't be a problem for the duo. From the bridge, walk straight till you reach the MRT station. At the MRT station, you may top up your EZ Link card if the card lacks credit. After that, take the MRT down to Somerset.

Be prepared for a lot of ah bengs along Somerset, also, you will meet a new type of enemy here, the NS man. NS men are military conscripts in-training, out of camp and looking for abit of fun, and trouble. Not all NS men will attack you, but as for those that do, be prepared. They fight with their fists,, so their attack rating is lower then the ah beng. However, their attack speed is twice as fast as the ah beng, so they an hit you a lot more times, and with better precision then the ah beng's melee attacks. Also, their defense and health is trice as much as an ah beng, so they aren't an easy foe at your current levels.

Remember, every time you kill an enemy yu earn experience points and they wil usually drop items and cash, so if possible, kill as many enemies as possible.

Now at Somerset MRT, walk out of the MRT and turn left, walking straight, you will soon reach the California Health and Fitness center. You may enter the center and for a fee, increase you strength by 1. This may only be done once in 2 days and increases your fatigue by 50%, so think carefully before you decide to train your strength. Also, next to the California Health and Fitness center is the Starbucks Cafe. There you may buy coffee, which reduces your fatigue by 5%, or the more expensive triple espresso, which decreases fatigue level by 12%. From the California Health and Fitness Center, walk straight down till you reach the road, and cross over to the Cineleisure Cinecenter, From there, turn right and cross the road over to the Heeren Shops shopping center. Within the Heeren, there are shops selling clothing and items. Equip yourself with whatever needed, if you lack cash, find ah bengs and kill them, taking the money they drop when they die. When take the lift at the bottom left of the Heeren up to the 4th floor. When you come out of the lift, trun left and walk straight and you will find yourself at the Graffiti Cafe. There, use Toten to talk to the owner of the cafe and the counter girl to find out infomation about Nevar's whereabouts. Because of Toten's high level of charm, the counter girl will blurt everything she knows, which is mainly just relating the events on the day of Nevar's cpature. However, it is from the owner that you will find out Skye's whereabouts. To get him to talk, chose options 2, then 4, then 1, then 3. Otherwise, he will not tell you a thing. Remember, you must use Toten to do the talking. Using Sheep will only get him calling for the Heeren security guards.

Once you've found out that Skye usually hangs out around the Kinokuniya Bookstore at Takashimaya S.C, make your way there. To do so, exit from the Heeren, turn right and walk straight down all the way. Along the way you will encounter lots of ah bengs and a few NS men. There are also a few ah lians and bitches for Toten to drain blood from. At Lucky Plaza, walk into the underpass that will lead you to Takashimaya S.C. Takashimaya is a breeding ground for ah bengs, so becareful. Once there, before you go into Kinokuniya, look for the weapons shop on the 2nd level, on the east side. There you may buy the Butterfly Ring for Totenkopf, which increases his max mana by 10 and increases his mageskill by 1. You may also purchase another Full metal ring of piercing +1, since Toten can equip up to ten rings. Purchase the leather gryph choaker for Sheep to increase his max mana by 25 and the plastic orb of heat for Sheep to attach to the top of his bamboo pole. The plastic orb of heat increases his fire element spells by 10%.

After that, proceed up to the third floor and walk to the Kinokuniya, which is in the center. Once there, walk around and talk to the people you meet in kino. After awhile you will bump into one of Skye's cronies. When you talk to her, use options 4, then 4, then 1, then 3 to threaten her and she will give in to the pressure and blurts out that Skye is currently holding Nevar in her school's gym storage room.

At this point Sheep will suggest killing the cronie off, but Toten disagrees, instead choosing to take the cronie along to bring them to Skye. Sheep is in agreement, and drags the cronie off by the hair.

With Sheep holding on to the cronie, only Toten is able to engage in combat now. Just as you are about to leave kino, a group of Skye's cronies rush foward to attack you. Take them out quickly and use Vampiric Feeding to replenish your health. After that, leave immediately before the Takashimaya security guards a a few police officers arrive to arrest you.

When you reach the 2nd Floor of Takashimaya, walk to the back and leave by the back entrance, where there will be a taxi stand. Enter the awaiting cab and Sheep will be seen forcing the cronie to give directions to Skye's school.

When you arrive at Skye's school, be prepared for a lot of combat. In the school you will meet yet another new enemy type - delinquents. Delinquents are prehaps the weakest enemies you will ever come across, but they come in greater numbers. You will meet a group of them outside the school gates. Kill them off and a cut scene will appear showing Sheep, holding the cronie infront of him, pushing his way past delinquents, student and teachers with Toten strolling behind, smoking a cigarette.

After the cut scene you will find yourself infront of the door to the room where Skye, and Nevar, is. At this point, Toten says that they have no further use of the cronie and drains her of her blood before kicking her now-dead body away. He then opens the door and enters with Sheep.

-End Chapter 3a-

#105 - The one with the walkthrough, chapter II

Wednesday, April 30, 2003
02:17 a.m.

At the end of chapter one, Totenkopf Iceheart would have already escaped from the Chestervale Condonimum. Now, on to chapter two.

Chapter Two - Off to Sheep's House

When you leave the condo by the side gate, light up a cigarette since you will meet a few enemies here, and because it's just so damn good...now Toten thinks that the best thing for him to do now is to seek the aid of his friend, Sheep, a sorceror. Thus begins chapter II of the RPG. Go to Sheep's house...

Now at the side gate, walk straight down the path to your left where you will chance upon a bus stop. There, you will meet a new type of bad guys - the Ah Bengs. Armed with parangs, the Ah Beng has a higher attack level then the condo security guard, and is capable of melee attacks as well. However, their health and defense is lower, so if you have spare mana, take them out from far with your Bolt of Icy Shadows.

At the bus stop you will encounter three ah bengs and an ah lian, whom you can't attack. Drain out your mana here by casting the Icy Shadow Bolt before going hand to hand with them. Once they are dead, search their bodies to find

Small packet of menthol cigarettes x 1

EZ Link Card with value of .20

Also, after this battle, a cut scene will appear showing Toten walking up to the cowering Ah Lian, grabbing her and sinking his fangs into her neck where he drains her blood before tossing her bloodless body away.

After this cut scene, you will find that Toten has regained full health points and a message that Toten has awakened an innate skill:

Vampiric Feeding

This skill is Toten's most useful skill as it allows him to regain health. It can only be used when Toten's health is down to 35% of his maximum health points, when the target's health is down to 35% of its maximum health points, Toten willl drain the target of all remainding health and mana (if any) points. However, during the duration of the feeding, which is 2 turns, Toten will be open to all other attacks, so I suggest you only use this ability when all save one of the enemy is vanquished. Also, Toten may only use this ability on enemies and not innocent cillivians, except for Ah Lians, Bitches, Whores and Sluts, which are free targets for him. However, Ah Lians, Bitches, Whores and Sluts only provide health points, not mana points. If he uses this ability on innocent civillians, they may be consequences...

Once you have regained your health and unlocked this innate ability, continue walking down the path till you come to an intersection. There, turn left again and continue walking down the path till you reach the kopitiam. Kopitiams sell cigarettes, lighters, drinks and food. Different drinks replenish different things for different characters.

As for Toten, he may buy Beer which replenishes health points and temporary increases his attack, but temp. decreases his defense and movement speed. It also increases his morale, but adds to his fatigue level as well. He may also drink coffee or tea, which decreases fatigue level.

Currently, however, you have no need of the items sold at the kopitiam, so turn left at the kopitiam and enter the Neighbourhood Center. No enemies are to be found in Neighbourhood Centers, and combat is disallowed. Also, pistol-armed police officers patrol Neighborhood Centers, so don't bother trying anything funny in one of face instant death. Or, in Totenkopf's case, the Final Death, or Eternal Sleep, as Vampires term it. Within Neighbourhood Centers you may interact with NPCs to find out infomation and events. There are also various shops in Neighbourhood Centers where you can purchase items. Also, within every Neighbourhood Center you will find a Clinc, where health can be replenished for money, and a Bank which gives you a further 20 inventory slots and a storage place for access cash. You may access these stored items from any bank, so not to worry. You may also attempt to rob the bank in any Neighbourhood Center, and if successful, make away with a huge sum of cash and items. However, all Banks are guarded by a quad of revolver-armed Cisco officers and reinforcements in the form of pistol armed police officers will arrive very soon to kill you. And even if you manage to take down the police and cisco officers, whihc is impossible at yuor current level, after that will come the rifle, sub-machinegun and shotgun armed Special Tactics and Rescue (STAR) Team Squad. So seriously, don't even think about it. And even when you and your party are at high levels and capable of taking on this powerful force and succeed in the heist, from then on, any Neighbourhood Center you enter, you will be attacked by the Police, and all Banks will be closed to you. Also, teams of police officers will be on be lookout for you, which is why I highly discourage attempting bank robbery, no matter how broke you are.

Back to the game. Go to the minimart and buy a small bottle of red wine to replenish your mana, then walk straight through neighbourhood center and upon exit, turn left and walk down the path by the road till you reach another busstop. Along the way you will meet a few Ah Bengs, but you should be able to handle them. Once you have reached the bus stop, walk straight abit more and you will reach the overhead bridge. Cross the bridge, but halfway across the bridge search the area and you will find:

Now cross over to the other side and walk to the bus stop just ahead of you. Now a cut scene will appear showing Toten remembering that he can either take a 187 bus straight down to Sheep's, which will take 45 minutes, or either a 190, 700, 960, 963 or 171 down to the Bukit Panjang Mall where he can alight and transfer to a 180 bus, which will then bring him to Sheep's, this method will only take him 25 minutes. Now this part is very important. Take the 187 bus. It may be longer, but at least you'll survive. At any Shopping Center, sich as Bukit Panjang Mall, you will meet lots of enemies, and the Mall is teaming with Ah Bengs, much more then you can handle, at your current starting level. So for now just wait for the 187 bus, hop on, now remember the EZ Link card you got from the ah beng? Use it here to pay for the bus fare. Otherwise you can't take the bus.

You won't encounter anything on the long bus ride. However, your morale level will decrease by 15% due to boredom.

Finally you arrive at the busstop outside Sheep's house. Getting of from the bus, you will encounter a few more ah bengs at the bus stop. Kill them, then walk stright to your right till you reach the overhead bridge. Cross it, and at the other end, go down by the stairs on the left, walk straight, pass the first flight of stairs leading up to the HDB blocks, and at the 2nd flight of stairs, walk up. You will then find yourself at the side entrance to the condo which Sheep stays in. At the side gate, the condo security guard will ask you a few questions. Choose options 1, then 4, then 2, then 1 again to gain entry into the condominum. If you answer incorrectly, you will be turned away. If you attack the guard, more will come and you will be barred from the condo unless you are able to kill all the guards, which are plentiful.

Once in the condo, walk to the first tower on your right and take the lift up. You will then exit on the 11th floor. Turn left from the lift and press the doorbell to the door on your left. Sheep will open the door.

#104 - The one with the walkthrough

Tuesday, April 29, 2003
02:04 p.m.

Hmm...met Mana for lunch earlier on, now she's got to go back to work and I'm meeting Nevar at 3, which is like an hour for now. So I've got to kill time, 1 whole bloody hour, what do I do? Well, I figured that since I'm at Bugis, and my school's Middle Campus is just opposite, might as well pop into the library to surf the net. Woo hoo~! The advantages of having your school in town area. Hee hee. It's like a bloody RPG game where my school becomes like the town where you can pop in to

a) Kill Time
b)Refill my water bottle
c)Use the washroom

LOL~! Finally I see the advantage of being in NAFA~!

Hmm, speaking of RPGs, this is an idea I got from Sheep, writing my own RPG walkthrough...since I've got time, lemme try it out now...

Walkthrough for 'Legend of the Heroes of Clan NBCB'

You begin the game with your hero, the main character of the game, Totenkopf Iceheart, or Toten in short, a level 1 Vampire. His beginning stats are:

Health: 80/120
Mana: 60/100
Attack: 2
Defense: 3
Strength: 3
Marksmanship: 1
Dexterity: 2
Mageskill: 4
Knowledge: 5
Charm: 6
Resistance to Sunlight: 5%/100%

In your inventory you have:

Nothing.

Your beginning weapon is the Metal Full Fingered Ring of Piercing +1, which gives you an attack of +1. It requires Strength: 0 and Dexterity: 0 to wield it.

Your beginning spells are:

Vampiric Touch lvl 1, which allows you to drain 10 health and 6 mana for every turn from the targeted enemy and adds to your own. This spell lasts for 1 turn and requires 10 mana to cast. It has a range of 1, which means you need to be just next to the target to cast it.

Bolt of Icy Shadows lvl 1. When you cast this spell, you shoot a bolt of shadowy energy from your hand to strike at your opponent, whom is then engulfed in shadows. This spell deals a damage of -10 health for every turn and lasts for 2 turns at lvl 1. It requires 10 mana to cast and has a range of 6.

Now, on to the walkthrough:

Chapter 1: The Escape

You wake up on a bed in a room. After awhile you realize that this is the room in which you have been kept in for reasons currently unknown. You need to escape. But first, equip yourself with some of the items found in the room first.

Walk to the table to the left of the bed and open the drawer. There you will find:

A small packet of menthol cigarettes (Quantity: 10 sticks in the pack)
A normal cheap plastic lighter

Equip them into your inventory. Throughout the course of the game you will find the cigarettes very useful to Toten. Smoking a cigarette will give a temporary +2 attack, +1 defense for the duration of the cigarette. It also gives +10% morale, -5% fatigue. However, with it comes -2 health.

In the course of the game you will be able to pick up or purchase better brands of cigarettes which will give better temporary stats. But for now, this is all that you have.

After you have taken the cigarettes and the lighter, check the tabletop. There you will find:

Wallet with

Put that into your inventory as well.

Now walk to the wardrobe and upon opening it, you will find a:

Normal white cotton shirt (Def +1)
Normal white 3-quarts pants (Def +1)

Put them on. Once you have done so, leave the room.

Upon leaving the room you will find your 1st enemy, a baton-armed condominium security guard. Defeating the security giard shouldn't be a problem. Just cast Bolt of Icy Shadows twice and follow up with a few normal attacks and u would have disposed of the guard.

After you have killed the guard, search the body and you will find:

Gate Card

Put the card into your wallet and leave the apartment. Outside the apartment you will find:

Black walking shoes (def +1, speed +5%)

Put them on and take the lift down. Once you're down, walk to the left passageway. Do not go down the right passageway, there are 2 more condominium security guards there and you want to advoid them, since not only will they deplete your health, but also alert other condo security goons, which means that you will land up in big trouble. So walk down the left passageway which connects to to the central passageway and make your way down. At the end of the passageway, you will come out into the open, where the sun is shining. As you are a vampire, when the sun is out and you are under it, your attack, defense and strength will be reduced by 50% since you are only at lvl 1. As your level up, your resistance to sunlight and fire will increase. But for now, it is best to avoid enemies in the day.

From the end of the passageway, turn right and walk down, where you will come into a open clearing with a swimming pool in the middle. If you bother to read the sign posted by the side of the pool, you will find that it reads: 'Swimming Pool closed due to the SARS outbreak. The management regrets any inconvienience caused and seeks your understanding.'

Skirt the parameter of the pool till you cross over to the other side, where there will be a passageway. Enter it. Immediately upon entering you will find a condonminium cleaner, whom will ask what are you doing here and move off to alert the guards. Kill her quickly with a single Icy Shadows Bolt before she can raise the alarm. Now continue straight down up the passageway till you come to its end. Back out into open sunlight, you see the side gate of the condon just ahead of you. Unfortunately, a security guard is also there guarding it. As before, use your icy shadows bolts - you want to get rid of the guard fast before more come to help. Deplete your mana if necessary, but kill the guard fast. Once the guard is dead, search the corspe and find:

Sunglass

Equip that, since it gives you a +10% resistance to sunlight. Now use the gate card you picked up from the first guard you killed to open the side gate. Then walk out and you're free!

Right...so I was at home the whole bloody day today catching up on my projects and time passed so so so damn slowly...

Mana calls me and asked to pray that time would past faster, so I did and instead of getting what I prayed for, what I got was a heavy downpour.

God's got a sense of humor.

Tomorrow better be better damnit.
