Just played all the games on Wii Sports with Mum :p I really missed her D: It's so fun to have her back ^__________^
P.S. She beat me at Bowling. Again.
P.P.S. She beat me at Boxing! zomg =.="
I haven't posted in a few days... simply because my net got shaped (from getting Death Note / downloading stuff from Wii Shop Online / playing Mario Kart Wii online) and my net couldn't even handle loading my blog... lolz. Anyways, let's see...
I got home on Friday night and felt absoutely rooted... Had a shower then crashed.I woke up on Saturday afternoon at 2.40pm, missing my basketball game, which went terribly... However, I ended up going out later that night to go to Pot Black then Han's Cafe for dinner, then to Icey Ice again... I must say, Icey Ice really does give you a good sugar high! The sugar highs you get from that are cheaper than getting drunk, and more fun... and tasty XD What's weird is that the next morning I had the worst headache... But I've never had a hangover before? Icey-ice-over IMO...
All in all, was a fun night... had a great laugh. Went into Gelare that night to see who was working, and what do you know. SOMEONE has a huge hickey on their neck. It looked painful XD
Sunday I didn't really do much... My brother's friends came over and we all played Mario Kart. Great fun :p Then yesterday I just worked... There were 3 people on from 4-6, with a hardly any customers... Even one person could handle the traffic! Had a good chat with Jane though so it's all good. Got home and decided to play some Zelda: Twilight Princess :P (In case you haven't caught on yet, I play games a lot to pass the time.....) It's a nice improvement over previous games, with a lot of added stuff! It's not a big improvement over Ocarina of Time though... But then again, it's hard to improve on a near-perfect game.
I was starting to get a little annoyed at the difficulty of Mario Kart Wii on 150cc mode / unlocking expert time trial ghosts... So I decided to try using the Gamecube controller on a whim. All I can say is WOW. I went from a D-grade, Silver-trophy win on Special Cup 150cc to a 1 star rating, gold trophy win in the same cup/class. Then I did the Lightning Cup for the first time and got a double-star rating on my first try! The improvement was huge! Wii Wheel is fun and all... but it just doesn't cut it sometimes :(
Today I'm doing my first ever Tuesday shift since I started work at Gelare... First ever day I'm going to sell half priced waffles XD Should be interesting, despite being during the 'quiet time.' Anyways, I must be off... Gotta do some shopping and grab some lunch before my shift starts. Adios!
Okay, so I went to play basketball today and started off pretty crappy... Missing shots from under the ring is inexcusable.. But once I got my groove I was boxing out and defending pretty damn good. Towards the end, when we were playing with 4 Eclipse (name of the basketball team I'm a part of) players against 4 other regulars at the Canning College courts and we came out on top. I think I managed to score 3 of the 9 points required to win, so I was feeling pretty happy about that.
After that we headed to Makan Cafe in Vic Park. Had some decent Mee Goreng there, and 2 glasses of Teh Tarik... Damn it's good! If you're ever in the area, go to Makan Cafe and get yourself some Teh Tarik... I prefer the cold version :P (It's near Icey Ice, across the street)
Speaking of Icey Ice, I finally went there for the first time today. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooddddddd!! I tried Oreo, Strawberry and Mango flavours and I have to say that the Mango one was the best. The Strawberry and Mango one came as the "Twin Towers" thing.. Roid made the smart joke of holding a spoon and saying "Here comes the aeroplane!" while zooming it around... I found it hilarious. Maybe I'm an asshole for that, but oh well. If you don't get it, it's probably better that way :P After that whole episode I was on a high, most likely sugar induced, but it was fun all the same. Probably one of the better food-outings I've been to in a while, in relation to food enjoyment <-> cost.
Ooh, and I finally got my Wii online this evening, and ended up versing Quanny in a few races :D I think the record was 2 - 2 as far as GP(Grand Prix) wins goes with just the two of us competing... He got so lucky with those red shells! Hax imo... In one instance, I had a fake item square guarding my back, and the red shell went right through it! And then there's Rainbow Road....................... I hate that stage. If you want to beat me in a stage on Mario Kart, that's the one. I hate it with a passion. I hope it dies in a fire. A very hot, scalding fire that's hot enough to sear it to a charcoal black but not hot enough to incinerate it within an instant. >_> Hate. I also ended up doing a few games online, one GP against Aussies only, where I averaged about 3rd place in most races. Another GP I did against the rest of the world... Something like 2 people from Japan, 2 people from Holland/The Netherlands, 6 people from America, 1 guy from Sweden and myself. I averaged second in most races.. The guy who averaged first in the races was from Japan. They had a female Mii.. So they might have been female. Whoever they were, they were nuts! Something like 8000 points to their name as opposed to everyone else's 5000-7000.
Anyway... Does anyone have Death Note? I can't find the series anywhere!!! I got to episode 13 or something then no more :( Also looking for any good comedies... Or any other anime with the amount of amazing twists and turns Death Note takes :P Speaking of anime, in the video store I went to today with Roid so he could drop off some vids... They called the anime section "MANGA TO RENT". OH EM GEE. I wanted to shoot whoever put that there. Let it be known now.
Manga =
Japanese Comics, or comics in general
Anime =
The animated form of these comics. May or may not be inspired by a Manga, but generally refers to animations from Japan, made in a Japanese/Anime style
Thank you for your time. Still looking for more people to add to my blogroll :) If you're interested just give us a buzz!
Okay. The movie was funny, for sure. But not one person told me of the several showings of penis in that movie. It was disturbing... It was something like "DID THEY JUST DO THAT?!!?" in my head, then they did it again .___. All in all, it was good. The pearl necklace joke was classic... Speaking of which, I ended up explaining half the jokes to Caren after the movie which was a little bit awkward I guess, but funny all the same x]
Bleh.. There's more to tell but I'm so buggered right now. I'll put an epic post up once I'm feeling better... Today in short though,
1) Bought Mario Kart Wii
2) Worked (quiet day + 2ppl working = win)
3) Trying to recover from sickness
Later readers... Whoever you are... Comments appreciated on posts? lulz.
Going to karaoke tonight, and I'm really looking forward to it! I was a little worried yesterday because I couldn't contact Utopia to make a booking, but luckily there was a free room when I finally got through. I'm eager to see a certain two people do a duet for a song... If that will happen haha. I think I'll go for another 1.4L of bubble tea tonight :D
I'm finally going to go see Forgetting Sarah Marshal today, after about a week of trying to get someone to watch it with me >_< After watching Meet The Spartans alone, I think it's safe to say that watching movies alone is depressingly lame. It was a funny movie, but c'mon... Half the fun of a comedy is re-enacting the funniest parts with your friends right after. I watched Semi-Pro with Roid and thought it wasn't that great, but making fun of the movie the next day on our basketball game was hilarious. Maybe that's just something Roid does though XD
So, my brother is a great guy, but there are times when he can get on my nerves. Maybe not directly, but he keeps on pissing my dad off all the time, so he goes around swearing and whatever all the time. Not cool. Well, in a way it's good because by doing nothing wrong around the house and just helping around with cleaning and cooking, he's giving me pocket money (which I really don't need lol). At least it's less money I'm spending on socialising so more money I can save up for my trip to Japan at the end of next year (hopefully ><) :D
As for the Wii I got the other day, my mum is addicted! I'll admit, she beat me in Bowling on the Wii Sports game... It was 153 to 189. Shame! So when she went to work I practiced hardcore and now average a 220 game hahaha. I was rather impressed though... How many mums do you see nowadays owning you in a video game? :P
So, I ended up getting my Nintendo Wii yesterday.. Wasn't exactly what I was hoping for (wanted to get an extra controller and nunchuck) but it was still good :D I ended up spending about 2 hours just creating random Miis for kicks, then about an hour or two of Wii Tennis :P 'Nuf bout that.
I watched Street Kings last night with Andrew and Catrina. I was hoping it would be good, but as usual, the trailer was better than the movie. You've really got to congratulate whoever makes these trailers. They make you want to watch sub-par movies :\ That aside, the movie wasn't TERRIBLE; it had a decent flow to it. However, the whole storyline is a liiiiiiiiiittle bit cliche with nothing to back it up. Keanu's acting was decent. Whoever did the casting, though, needs to reassess who they choose for characters... I mean, Keanu was probably the only person that fit his role nicely.
Don't get me wrong, Terry Crews is a great actor, but having him play a plot-starting / changing character in a serious movie was way too odd for me to see... I think most people are comfortable seeing him in comedy movies, which is where he should stay... For those wondering who Terry Crews is, he's the bald, buff black guy that can flex his pecs to make them look like they're jumping.. He played Freddy 'Fingers' Wilson in "Balls of Fury", the black guy that was into white chicks in "White Chicks" and one of the flight attendants in "Soul Plane". I believe he's also in the upcoming "Get Smart" movie. As you can see, he's a seasoned comedy-actor.. So yeah, that's one thing that really kinda killed the atmosphere the movie was trying to give. If you still don't know who Terry Crews is, go google him if you wish.
Another thing was seeing Hugh Laurie in the movie. Fantastic actor, don't get me wrong. But come ON people! We're so used to seeing him in a hospital as our beloved Dr. House! WHY would you put his introductory scene in a hospital. Please. Why? At least change his attitude a bit too. It isn't much different from his 'House' persona. Yeah, I know that that is how the character is supposed to act, but then shouldn't you cast someone else? His introduction in a hospital and similar attitudes really destroyed the Capt. James Biggs character and made Dr. House a cop... At least in Stuart Little you can't even tell it was him until the credits rolled... (might also be because Stuart Little was before his House debut, but that's beside the point :P)
I ended up buying "No More Heroes" for the Wii today (man, I'm so wasteful...maybe I should get myself a girlfriend instead of spending money on games.. haha) It's fantastic! The combat system is a nice change from what I'm used to nowadays. I haven't exactly played the game in-depth so this is probably the main thing that I have to comment on. The general idea of the storyline and stuff is pretty original though. Kudos to the creators.
