Upgraded my XP to SP2. Well doesn't seem to have any significant changes except the security features having a firewall and detects if you have antivius switched on. Other than that feels the same. But felt that my computer HD space is getting smaller and smaller haha. 10 gig just for the XP program is gonna run out! Left abt 400 MB left, and all are program applications!. My the other HD partitions are for Movies, animes, games and music. Getting mood swings again, so forgive me if I'm very cold to you.

New Look
Ta Da! Changed my blog to a new template, wanna give it a new coat of paint since Neil finds it too "girly". (Hey look at your target audience! Haha) Loved doggies so chanced upon this doggy template and made a few changes with MS Frontpage. Took me faster to reedit the whole HTML code using the software, since I used to use notepad to write the codes everytime. Cut, paste, type and..............whola!
Then watched AVP during the weekends. It's disappointing, cause it's not scary at all. C'mon, the past Aliens movie were much creepier. The predator is so-so, but the blade is cool. BUT the Predator as a good guy?? I rather have him as a bad guy, much more cool and kicks real ass. Heck the storyline should be placed in the future during the Alien era. Manz it should follow like this:
The story starts with a ship moving across space, then a group of marines landed onto a deserted outpost after recieving a emergeny breakdown. Marines started to explore the outpost, then something got very wrong. Aliens started sneaking up killing 1 marine after another. Then all the marines have to escape back to the ship, being chased by hundreds of aliens jumping around all over. When they were abt to reach their ship, their ship got blasted into pieces by a predator starship! Ya the aliens were blasted too, and the remaining quicky ran away. Nowhere to run, the marines have to hide. This is where the HUNT BEGINS.............
Now isn't that cooler? Well this could be the story of AVP2 haha. Better copywright this lol.

Gemini
Germini
The twins
Uranus and Pluto were discovered in Germini. In Greek mythology, Castor and Pollux were twin heroes. The two were born from an egg laid by Leda after she was seduced by Zeus in disguise of a swan. Yet it was said that Pollux was the son of Zeus and Castor was the son of Tyndareus. The two brothers were good companions and became gods, patrons of athletes and protectors of saliors at sea. Castor & Pollux had power over the winds and waves. Castor became famous a rider of horses while his brother Pollux became equally skilled at boxing and fighting battles.
The twins were raised by the centaur Chiron (now the constellation Sagittarius) and later joined Jason and the Argonauts in search of the Golden Fleece.
Eventually they decided to take wives and selected the two beautiful daughters of the king of Sparta. Now it happened that the two women were already married to Idas and Lynceus, cousins of the twins. But this seems to have made little difference to the Twins. They simply carried the girls off and settled down with them. The two cousins were not bothered by this. A few years later, the cousins, in friendly company of the Twins, made a joint raid on some cattle. It was said that trouble between the two pairs of thieves began when they tried to divide the cattle among themselves.
Idas had the solution. He hacked one of the cows into four equal pieces and said whichever two individuals completely finished eating their quarters first would divide the spoils. This took the Twins off guard and they watched helplessly as their two cousins wolfed down their quarters of the cow. Idas and Lynceus then drove off the entire herd.
Tricked, Castor and Pollux vowed to get even with their cousins. Within a few days they set out after the two cousins to recover their share of the cattle. During the fighter that followed, Idas killed Castor with a spear. Infuriated over the loss of his twin brother, Pollux chased his cousins and killed Lynceus with a single blow. Just as Idas was about to hurl a tombstone at Pollux, Zeus came to Pollux's aid and hurled a thunderbolt at Idas, killing him on the spot. Pollux, the immortal son of Zeus, begged to die so that he would not be separated from his brother. Not even the mighty Zeus could do such a thing so he placed them together in the sky as the constellation Germini, the twins.

New Photos
Went for the Fireworks Festival '04 on Sunday with Ryan, Neil, Selene, Max and Junhao. On the eve we were planning where will we be positioned at. Then on the actual day Ryan and I went there early to "book" a place for phototaking at 4 pm. We took a place just outside the Esplande near the bridge. While waiting we felt a bit hungry so we had Romly burgers which were sold there, not really fantastic but it made our stomachs a bit happier. So the guys came and it started to rain. But we got umbrellas and stayed at our spot refusing to go. The rain subsided and more people flocked to the area as the time draws near. 8.00 pm, no fireworks yet, we were abt to sian 1/2 suddenly the first fireworks shot out giving us a scare! Then all the photographers started snapping furiously trying to get as much shot as possible. Fireworks were all over! Then it ended quickly with a grand finale of shower of RAIN!! hahaha That's all folks, my photos can be seen under the gallery named "New Album".

Capricornus
Capricornus (Capricon)
The Sea Goat
There is a confusion over how Capricornus came to be. Some say that he represents the Shepherd-god Pan. Others say that he was quite a different god, Aegipan. Now so terrible was the sight of Typhon that Zeus himself is said to have changed himself into the form of the ram, Aries, and remained that way for a while. The other gods also changed themselves into animal forms. Aphrodite and Eros, for example transformed themselves into the two fishes Pisces.
Zeus reappeared in his own form and prepared to do battle with Typhon, Zeus was defeated. Typhon cut out the tendons of Zeus' hands and feet. This made him helpless to move. He then hid the tendons in a cave in the land of Cilicia. To guard the tendons, Typhon selected the dragon-woman Delphyne, half-serpent and half-woman. Now Delphyne wasn't a very good guard and permitted the tendons to be stolen by the gods Hermes and Aegipan. Aegipan, like the other gods, had transformed himself into an animal to escape detection by Typhon. He had jumped into the river when Typhon approached. But he was already halfway submerged before he thought of what form of animal he would wear. He decided to be a goat. So a goat he became, but only from the waist up. From the waist down he took the form of a fish. Aegipan and Hermes managed to steal the tendons of Zeus and return them, making Zeus once again as fit as ever. His strength regained, Zeus unleashed all his fury and killed the monster Typhon by hurling thunderbolts at him. For Aegipan's role in this battle against the Titans, Zeus gave him an honored place in the sky as the constellation Capricornus. Capricornus' history can also be traced to Babylonian times. And his appearance then was as it is now, half-fish and half-goat. The Arabs, Persians, Turks and Syrians all knew Capricornus as the Goat. In certain parts of the Orient, the constellation was known as the Southern Gate of the Sun, indicating that it is in this constellation that the Sun reaches its lowest point on the ecliptic and thereafter begins to appear higher and higher each day.

New songs
Created a new classical song recently when I was just playing around with my guitar. So I recorded it down and posted it up. There are some hiccups along the way ahah as I'm not so good at it but I made it very easy to play for beginners just you need a good coordination of your fingerings. It's a fusion of a classical song "Romance" and my own piece giving out an atmosphere of Tragedy and erieeness. Any comments appreciated!

Aquarius
Aquarius
The water carrier
Neptune was discovered in Aquarius in 1846. Aquarius is an old constellation. As the Water Carrier he is carved in the stones of the Babylonian Empire and probably is still older than that period. Aquarius as the God of waters must have been regarding as a good god by some and a bad god by others, depending on the prevailing of their region. To the Egyptians, Greeks, and others who lived in lands plagued by a dry climate, Aquarius surely was looked on as a kindly god who brought rain when they were most needed during the planting season. The Babylonians looked on Aquarius as a bad god and referred to the month when the Sun was in Aquarius as the monthe of the "the curse of rain". In ancient Greece, Aquarius is identified with a man and his wife known as Deucalion and Pyrrha. According to the myth, in 1500 B.C., Aquarius caused a great flood to wash over Earth. Deucalion's father advised his son and wife to build a great boat and stock it with provisions. They did and the two floated in the world-sea for nine days and nine nights. Eventually they ran aground on Mount Parnassus. Safe but lonely, the two sole survivors of Earth walked about as the waters became lower and exposed more and more land. What were the two to do? They appealed to an oracle and were told to "...throw over your shoulders the bones of your mother."
Deucalion guessed that "the bones of Mother Earth must be stones." So as the two walked along they picked up stones and kept tossing them over their shoulders. After a while they looked behind them and there were people. The stones that Deucalion had thrown had become men and those thrown by Pyrrha had become women.
And so Aquarius became known as the taker of life and the giver of life. This myth of a world flood and then a rebirth of life on Earth is a common one and cam be found in many myths. In Egyptian mythology, he pours water into the Nile River at the season when the Nile normally overflows its banks, this brings the much needed water to the farmlands bordering that great river. The Arabs, dependent on the water of the rainy season, saw Aqarius as a bucket because their religion forbids them from showing pictures of any living form. In modern times this constellation was immortalized by the counterculture of the 1960's, which proclaimed the Age of Aquarius. This was a bit premature as the Aquarian age will not actually begin for another 600 years. As astrological age is identified by the name of the constellation in which the vernal equinox(the position of the Sun on the first day of spring, March 12) is located. This location moves slowly from one zodiac constellation to the next as a result of Earth's procession.

Hmmmm blogger seems to change abit again. Well went for an international buffet on Friday night with Ewan, Leroy and Marcus at Taka. Well that's the Genghis Khan! Met Ewan at 6 pm, Marcus and Leroy would be later hence we started eating first. The oysters there were super huge! Ate 2 and I'm sick of it already. Ewan ate 5!!! Hahaha I think he's having nightmares on shells. We ate as many as we could until we were damn full. Sushis, shashimis, abalones, crabs, tempura, chawan mushi, lobster salad, assorted flavours of teas, sweet cakes, fruits and much more! I think this will be my first and last time eating there hahaha. Ate from 6 to 10 until the restaurant chased us away. Had to take a walk in Orchard for digestion. Money spent again haha.
