Horrible week I had, if you count the week starting from last Thursday.
One, I had to lose money for no good reason (Read all about it here: GAHHHH!!!), following that I found out that my study loan has a interest rate of 4.75%, which is no low amount. Afterwards, I tried to get a google adsense account to get more moolah, turns out this blog has 'inappropriate' material to qualify for an account. AS a result of me trying to work in google ads though, my nuffnang Glitterati account was revoked! So my plan to cash out this month was thwarted. Then today, I found out the Orange Caramel album I ordered ages ago may not be the autographed version! Which is bullshit cause I ordered that ages ago and they should've kept a copy for me. ~.~
And right now, I am almost literally freaking out due to my cashlessness and my wanting to buy lots of stuff and the fact that I am practically unhirable. ~.~
I just wanna... GAAHhhh... it's been one hell of a week... I was feeling so bad I called my mom although I just didn't know what I wanted to say. I was just there sighing and stuff and she just talked to me. Lol. Kinda waste of phone credit... ~.~
Haihz...

~ To Hebe ~
So pwetty... ♥♥♥
S.H.E is always the one cpop group that I have followed. Not really because I think their songs are that nice (Which, they mostly are, I actually consider Superstar a personal fav, not only because it was overplayed, but because it did actually get me out of a almost depressive state), but all because of Hebe Tian.
Look at her, so demure, so innocent, so cute. XD
Whenever I look at S.H.E, I do always just look for Hebe. I don't really mind looking at Selina or Ella, but I just love love love Hebe.
Stupid me have actually given up two chances to see her in person though. Once was a fanmeeting which I knew about but I got too lazy to go. Another was a concert/meeting I DIDN'T know and I didn't go. ~.~
But anyway, that's besides the point.
Because now I can actually throw in 100% support behind her rather than throwing in 33.33333% support for her. XD
Cause this is Hebe's first ever solo effort!!!!! (Not counting any OSTs or what not, which I have no idea if she did any)
Second song off her album... 寂寞寂寞就好
Literal translation of the title is "I'm lonely lonely, it's fine". I actually had no idea how to translate the title, I mean, I understood the meaning, it's just that... how do you translate that? So I went to google it and it made sense to split it in the middle with a comma. Lolz... I was going to go with, "I'm good with being lonely lonely"... hahahaha.
And the first song off the album: LOVE
Initially the "I love you, you love him, he loves her, she loves him" annoyed me to no end. But after a while, I got used to it. And actually, the song is very introfelxive (Huh?). No, wait, introspective (English fail!!! ~.~). As in the song does get you thinking... eventually, once I sat down, concentrated and actually understood what the hell the lyrics were saying (I understand mandarin, I just have to take some time to fully listen to understand it) the song then really stood out to me. ♥♥♥
I am soooo excited over actually seeing her album! I don't really have to flip through pages looking for Hebe's stories as in this book:
Which is incidentally the first thing of S.H.E I'd ever bought. Came with a free CD:
Those PR jackasses have been so sly with album info that I can't take it... it just builds suspense like an idiot. I mean this is all we get to see of her album so far:
With the reassurance that we will get to see her full face on the cover... hahaha.
Anyway, September... er... 4th? 8th? I'm mixing up my dates. One of them is the release of SNSD's Genie another is Hebe's To Hebe. Interesting no? Hahaha.
I just can't wait... XDXDXD

~ GAARHHHR!!! ~
This is a rant post. So feel free to ignore.
It not so much that my morning was horrible, it was more of how I handled it. Appropriately, I handled it like a naive, foolish idiot. It wouldn't have mattered so much if I just made a mistake and learnt from it, it was the fact that that mistake cost me money.
Ultimately, I get that it was my fault. But what sort of bloody security is that if a sleeping guy and just sleep his way through your security? Seriously, I was totally tired out the day before from packing and stuff, so I slept during the trip, is that wrong?
Anyway, the other part is that it would have been fine if I had not been such an idiot and knew how to play the 'game'. Had I remembered that 'checking out' was just a matter of glancing at a 'document' and not a full process of stamping and scanning, I would've just went on and crossed over without much issue. As it was, I had to get off and get myself into trouble.
And I get the other game they played though. I never did have the idea of that game, so I was quite confused, but they slowly took me to one side and asked for, let's say
'transit fees'.
So I was so relieved I did not really think it through and paid and got through. But the thing is really the fact that I did not really think it through and for that I wasted my money. Money that is not technically mine and I am feeling really really pissed about it. Mostly on myself, but really, why they hell did no one call me up? >.<
Anyway, what's past is past I guess. It's just one of those things that inevitably only happens to me and no one else. Seriously, ask around, you think anyone is that stupid to actually sleep through a checkpoint?
Anyway, I just have to say it out somewhere. I was feeling really stupid, really foolish and really pissed at myself. >.<
Not sure what the hell I should tell people if they ask. This is I think the stupidest thing I've ever done. Second would be the getting fined for doing something everyone else was already doing, but that's a old and long story.

~ Summarized Version of "Clickety Click Click Click" ~
Just a summarized version cause I'm almost positive anyone who read the previous one would've gotten bored halfway through.
PTC, click and you get cents. Click a lot and you get a lot of cents. Get referrals and their clicks will get you more cents. Get many many referrals and you get many many more cents.
Yes, that says it succinctly. Haha.
For more info and my views, please check this post, if you're interested: Here.
But for now, if you really think this is a plausible way to make some side income, and I do know of one Malaysian who has gotten about $10USD weekly, so it is quite nice.
Anyway, if interested, click any of these banners and sign up and comment to me if you wanna discuss more. Lolz.
Not PTC, but can click for pennies... lol...
Anyway, that's it, if seriously you're interested in more, read my previous post, Here.
Kayz, if you don't like this or don't believe it in, thank you for your time. ^^

~ Clickety Click Click Click ~
I've been clicking all over the web today.
Literally.
So here's the full explanation, I started off today looking at what you people will call PTC sites. Full name, Paid-to-Click sites. These sites give you like pennies for clicking and watching/reading their advertisements and collect all those pennies and you will get a substantial amount in like 2,304,428 years time. (Yes, I calculated, it does take that long. =P)
So I was thinking, what with all the PTC sites out there, what if I went through all off them collected pennies from every site and cashed out from every site, I would have a substantial amount no?
Not so true.
Cause every PTC site out there do not actually payout when you ask it to. In fact, from what I've seen, all the time I spend on clicking on some of them was wasted. So here I am, with a bunch of virtually wasted virtual pennies that I cannot actually convert into cold hard cash.
But it wasn't all wasted, I've ultimately come up with a reasonable system I would say. I will just focus on those that I deem trustable and semi-focus on those that are not really truly trustable yet.
Main focus: Neobux! Yes, just go search around a bit and most every place will tell you that Neobux is da bomb! People have retired off the earnings of Neobux and are now multimillionaires!!! Well, okay, I was exaggerating, but the potential earnings from this is no lie. I have seen people cash out $600USD in one shot and I think I heard that one person cashed out $5000USD the other day. It's bloody insane.
I'm, btw, am at $0.415USD. Yes, 41.5 cents. It's just sad. I was previously at about 3 or 4 dollars, but I used the money to get more referrals and stuff. I'm earning about a average of 10 cents per day more of less, so in a month I should get over 3 dollars. Someone say filthy rich?
That's basically the only one I plan on focusing on, the others are not confirmed their legitimacy but I will be working on them nonetheless. They are in no particular order:
Onbux:
Onbux appears to be good. I haven't seen anyone talk bad about it yet, only thing is that someone said that it looks too similar to a PTC site that went 'bad' previously, so dunno if it will go the same way.
LinkGrand:
Started LinkGrand today. Kinda sad actually the ads. Only two to click only. So I got only $0.006USD.
Wordlinx:
Also started this today. Also equally sad. Only clicked two links as well. Payoff a bit better though, $0.02USD. =)
This is not a PTC site per say, but a traffic earner site. There's a lot to say about this because you earn credits which are then supposed to be used to bring traffic to your site. DO NOT USE THIS TO BRING TRAFFIC TO YOUR BLOG THAT HAS ADVERTS!!! At least not if you have Nuffnang and/or Google Adsense. I mainly used it for... well... nothing. Lol. Only reason this is here is because it's the main reason I'm blogging now. I have clicked like the links to see the sites about 7000 times since I joined. I stopped like 3 months in between I think. And I started it up again two days ago, I have clicked I think about 2000 times. About 500-700 per day so far. It's damn idiotic, yet I can't seem to stop myself. Lol.
The reason I did that, was because with every 1000 clicks, you get $0.30USD. It's really not much, but hell, I just like seeing my account go up 30 cents everytime I get to the 1k. Additionally, for the first 100 clicks of every day, every 25 clicks you get a bonus which may hand out like 1 cent or 2 cents or 10 cents. So ultimately, you can get quite some money out of this as long as you click like about 100 a day.
So anyway, that's basically my day for the past day or two. I've been clicking, clicking and clicking. I think I'm getting carpal tunnel syndrome. Hahaha.
I hope that if you got here, you are suitably intrigued by the potential that actually exists here. Neobux especially. There is a potential there, I know of a Malaysian who is cashing out %10USD++ weekly. It isn't really much, but consider it like your gas money for the week, is that not cool?
So if you're interested, click on the banners above and click away! You will need patience though, so do know what you have to do. Patience and diligence is the most important thing if you hope to get something out of this.
I highly suggest Neobux if you wanna start off on this. Anything else is up in the air, but just be careful and you will go no wrong.
Feel free to bug me if you wanna discuss more btw. Haha. I'm no expert, but I have been reading up on this for a while, so... yeah. On the other hand, if you're a pro and you have advice for me. PLEASE!!! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!!!
(Pic credit @mferguson26)
Ultimately, don't think this is a way to get money for free without doing anything. There truly is no such thing in this world. Consider it a way to get supplementary income if you will, but not as a primary income. ^^
Okay, that was long. Lol.
Other stuff:
Something I did for the very first time in the world!!!
Bowling! I SUCK AT IT! HAHAHAHAHA! Although, I have beginner's luck, first time I ever threw the ball, I hit a strike! I was over the moon with that. But after that, the following racks I was throwing blank after blank. It was quite a humbling. Lol.
Something else I also did for the very first time.
Played Final Fantasy XIII! For that matter, it was the first time I actually played a PS3 anyway. I had played XBOX360 in the display stands in stores, but not a PS3. It was cool, I wish I could get to play it more. *sigh*
Saw this:
Skyline. Love the trailer. Don't really like the concept. I think it'll scare me. Haha.
Anyway, that's it! I'm out peeps! XD
(Very long post, I may shorten it and repost as a new post later... lol)

~ Cassettes ~
First off, let's start off with a nice picture. XD
A flower from the... plant... thingy (Shit, I can't remember it's name...) outside my house. Zzz... what was it called dammit... ahhhh...
Anyway, on to topic.
I was rummaging around my room and I found something... let's say cool... haha...
I used to buy lots and lots of cassettes apparently. Haha. Showing a few here that I kinda care about...
M2M! Lol. I care about this cause I remember this as a birthday gift from my parents. Haha. I used to be crazy over them. Till they broke up and now Marit is singing some folksy songsy songs up in... Europe somewhere... I think... and Marion is doing some pop songs somewhere if I'm not mistaken. Dunno what they're doing now... haha...
Spiderman, Spiderman 2 and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within cassettes. I like these cause I even have the novelizations of the movies. So it's a set you could say. Although I should've gotten the Spiderman 3 cassette as well to complete the thing, but they don't make cassettes no more. =(
I even have all the Linkin Park cassettes. Well, not all, I don't have Minutes to Midnight and I think missing one other, but I have Hybrid Theory, Hybrid Theory (Special Edition), Reanimation and Meteora. Still love the Reanimation cover and songs actually. I should find a way to get that to play... or find a digital version of the album. Lol.
Anyway, I say it's cool, because recently I came upon this:
Girls' Generation the album cassette. It sold on ebay for like 500USD!!! It's madness! I wish I could get it!
Anyway, I do have three boxes of cassettes. Anyone thinks they can be sold for lots of moolah?
No? Hahaha.
Other stuff:
I love love love and kinda slightly hate this cover.
I love it because frankly, all the girls on the bottom row and Tiffany looks elegant, sexy and playful as hell. Tiffany looks demure and Jessica is especially WOW! Just look at her and I go WOWEE!
I hate it cause Sunny looks like she's in a grandma suit and why is she acting all fierce? Taeyeon looks okay, but the dress seems a bit weird to me. This kinda sucks cause Sunny is my fav member, but overall, I still think this is a swell cover. Haha.

~ Battlecruiser Operational ~
You know, everytime I'm out and about the area, I see something and I think, "huh, that's something nice that I can blog about" and I tuck it away safely somewhere in the recesses of my mind so that I can blog about it later.
But apparently the recesses of my mind is so deep I can't find what it is I wanna blog about when I get in front of a computer.
My only recollection of one of the things I wanted to talk about was duets. But I can't remember exactly what that is now. ~.~
Anyway, since I haven't been updating this for a while, I figured I'll just briefly speak about some stuff I've been looking at and what not.
First of all, I played my first ever Starcraft 2 Multiplayer match!!!
I was horrible!!! Absolutely noobish!!! I had no idea what to do and no idea how to attack the fella!!! I have watched numerous matches of pros and thought I could maybe replicate some of their builds, but really, even before doing any of that, I've gotta learn how to actually play the game first. Some tutorials just don't tell you the basics. Like, when do you build a supply depot? How many SCVs are enough (Although from what I see, SCVs should always be constantly built)? When do you attack all that sort of basic things.
I did however, learn one thing from all the matches I played, the need to expand. That was the one thing I did right, although if he did choose to attack any of my expansions, I would've died. But he played one base, and did not expand till much much later in the game. How much later? When I had mined out the gold and was expanding to 3 other different places. :P
But still, my problem then was that I had no idea how to break him. He was turtling and my Marine Maurauder ball was just getting wasted by his Siege Tanks. So I did the only thing I could think of. Battlecruisers!!! XD
I love the Battlecruiser btw. It looks just epic. Anyway, when my Battlecruisers appeared in his base, he just gave up and gg'ed. So I did win my first ever SC2 multiplayer match!!! Which is awesome, but it took me an hour or more. Which is just... bad... hahaha...
My luck was just good cause I was playing someone who was just worse than me. When he was trying to expand I even managed to kill his SCV to delay it, TWICE! My main problem in the entire match is keeping up my macro. I had like 10k worth of minerals and I had no idea what to do with it.
Ultimately, this is a lot of text for a very very very noobish match, but frankly, it was hella fun! I would love to play more, but my seven free hours are almost up. So I dunno if I will buy the game or not. I mean with my noobish level, why bother buying the game to get humiliated day after day?
Anyway, that's just one thing, some other things I did:
Watched The Last Airbender
I personally think the story is good, it has potential. The problem is just everything else. I mean the acting was just... urgh... and the fight scenes were so god damn slow, I even felt that the camera was moving slowly just to torture me. I may get into this in a later post, but I think I'll just leave this at... well, this.
Read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol
It's... fine. I just think it took me a while to get into it. There was nothing that captivating about it as in his other books, but I think it's a bit of a welcome change. His other books all basically have the same formula, so it becomes a bit predictable, so a book of his that doesn't take the same route is welcome.
And the ending parts does get much more intense and interesting. Although it also did get predictable also. Soooo... it's good, just maybe I'm reading too many of his books.
Started up a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon.
Mainly cause... well... I also dunno why. I just suddenly thought of it and just started watching it.
Maybe it's cause I was thinking of the "Once More, With Feeling" episode. It was quite an awesome episode. Haha.
Anyway, that's it for now. Maybe I'll bring a notebook around with me next time to jot down what to blog about when it hits me. Haha.
But apparently the recesses of my mind is so deep I can't find what it is I wanna blog about when I get in front of a computer.
My only recollection of one of the things I wanted to talk about was duets. But I can't remember exactly what that is now. ~.~

I love the Battlecruiser btw. It looks just epic. Anyway, when my Battlecruisers appeared in his base, he just gave up and gg'ed. So I did win my first ever SC2 multiplayer match!!! Which is awesome, but it took me an hour or more. Which is just... bad... hahaha...
My luck was just good cause I was playing someone who was just worse than me. When he was trying to expand I even managed to kill his SCV to delay it, TWICE! My main problem in the entire match is keeping up my macro. I had like 10k worth of minerals and I had no idea what to do with it.
Ultimately, this is a lot of text for a very very very noobish match, but frankly, it was hella fun! I would love to play more, but my seven free hours are almost up. So I dunno if I will buy the game or not. I mean with my noobish level, why bother buying the game to get humiliated day after day?
Anyway, that's just one thing, some other things I did:
Watched The Last Airbender
I personally think the story is good, it has potential. The problem is just everything else. I mean the acting was just... urgh... and the fight scenes were so god damn slow, I even felt that the camera was moving slowly just to torture me. I may get into this in a later post, but I think I'll just leave this at... well, this.
Read Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol
It's... fine. I just think it took me a while to get into it. There was nothing that captivating about it as in his other books, but I think it's a bit of a welcome change. His other books all basically have the same formula, so it becomes a bit predictable, so a book of his that doesn't take the same route is welcome.
And the ending parts does get much more intense and interesting. Although it also did get predictable also. Soooo... it's good, just maybe I'm reading too many of his books.
Started up a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon.
Mainly cause... well... I also dunno why. I just suddenly thought of it and just started watching it.
Maybe it's cause I was thinking of the "Once More, With Feeling" episode. It was quite an awesome episode. Haha.
Anyway, that's it for now. Maybe I'll bring a notebook around with me next time to jot down what to blog about when it hits me. Haha.

~ Twist and Turns ~
My life past few days was quite a bit messed up. Mainly cause I fell sick.
Initially the plan on the 31st was for me to go up and go to MTV World Stage. Yeah, right? Fun right? Turns out I cannot make it because I was so bloody weak and didn't really think I could take standing there for 2 hours or so (Which turned out to be much much more than 2 hours...).
Then after that was the release of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, which teases me to no end with it's crisp graphics and awesome gameplay and is just mocking me by me having no way to buy it... right now... ~.~
And then I lost the Kenwooi contest. Which is unimaginable btw. I demand a recount! How can my bribe not work? :P
Oh, and additionally I couldn't go out with my friends also cause I was playing the sick idiot at home. So... yeah...
Getting sick used to be a simpler thing I think. When I was sick, I stayed home, watched TV and slept. But these days, getting sick is making me miss out seeing Wonder Girls (Let's be honest, I seriously only cared about seeing them anyway, although I hear Tokio Hotel rocked it though, that would've been interesting to see), miss seeing my friends and being unable to actually do many other things I actually wanna do. ~.~
So that's basically it for my weekend. Probably a bad weekend in a very long time. But hey, we roll with the punches and we move on. ^____^
Other Stuff:
The more I look at it, the more I feel like I wanna go and find 4minute on the 13th. Maybe even go and do the airport thing. I mean, why the hell not right?? Haha.
Speaking of which:
4minute - Goodbye
Good song. I like. 4minute is seriously damn bloody awesome. I keep saying that they are the only kpop group at the moment that is seriously not annoying me, and it remains true till now. Everything they've come out with so far has been awesome and not at all annoying.
Davichi - From Me To You
Nice song also... lol... saw this cause of 8TVNiteLive. Hahaha.
KARA - Mister
The full MV. XD
Dexter - Season 5 Promo (You do not want to watch this unless you don't care about spoilers or if you have already finished season 4 of Dexter)
Looks like it's going to be another interesting season in Dexter. You've gotta give them credit for always managing to make things interesting in this show.
