world of comics

A new era dawning

2009-11-14T12:13:00.000-08:00

Woah!

Its been a long, long while since I last blogged. Many things happened, however, none for the better. It was an hectic year with nothing much to hold on to. I was flabbergasted at the pace in which my life has been tuned into. For a year, my life seemed to run on a life-support machine which kept me going through my mundane lifestyle. I do not have the slightest idea of how fun a pre-university life would be and I bet my last dollar that I will never be able to. Still, I am glad that my JC life brought me closer to fulfilling my dreams. I am one step away from my dreams, one year away from my goals and one race, away from my ambitions.

Anyway, besides my hectic school life, I have been busy collecting toys. I really hope to share them with you all in my next post. Till next time............take care guys.......

4/5 08 chalet

2009-06-23T07:08:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,

It has certainly been a while since I last updated my blog. The last time I did so was right at the start of the holidays and now before I have even replenish my strength for the upcoming semester, the holidays are drawing to a close( though many are hopeful and certain of a holiday extension). This June holiday was no different from the past few years being dull and colourless as ever. However, all it look was a chalet to brighten it up and make it seem much meaningful. This chalet brought my closest friends that I could ever have to me and I am grateful of it. It was the best chalet ever. Thank you to all 4/5 people who have make it a success. Special thanks goes out to my bro Shi jie for organising it.

I have not been doing much comics review in these few posts as I have not been following up with some of them. However I do recommend you all to catch the dark avengers and messiah war of cable and xforce. I have been rather active in my collection of marvel legends toys. I would share them with you all in my next post. Byez

goodbye

2009-05-28T05:48:00.000-07:00

Today we say goodbye to one of the best teachers ACJC has ever had. Today we say goodbye to the most friendly teacher in ACJC. Today we say goodbye to one of the best economics teacher in ACJC. Today, we say goodbye to Mr Lancelot Lim. Thank you for everything you have taught 1SC8 sir, we really appreciate your efforts. All the best in the future.

By the way, I apologise for calling you( girl in my class) SHE HULK........(HULK SMASH!!!!!!)..........

Hi peps!!!

Its been a long while since I last blogged and under mass demand(well only shu yi) I have decided to drag my fingers to the keyboard and let them dance lazily on it. Yes, life has been fair to me, god has been fair to me. I got my wish of entering a JC whereby I will have endless amount of chio bus to see. However I have only adopted a see see, look look attitude. That's the only thing that has been keeping me in school ever since it started. I go through school everyday as though I am in a monastry. Yes, school has been this boring for me. I just find it difficult to open up to new friends and to a new environment. I terribly miss my buddies at the back( sai, val,jessie). We did not give a shit about boring lessons and we would usually joke through them. Now, when I joke in my new class, I am treated by others like a clown from outer space who has lost his mind and whose sole purpose is to entertain only himself. Please man, I put in so much effort just to make everybody's day fun the least they could do was to show their disgust(LOL). For godsake, these people could not be bothered to even show their disgust. At least val or sai would turn back to me and said that I was lame. Perhaps I am being too attached to the things and people around me, so much so to a point that I would be at the verge of losing my mind should they be abruptly taken away from my life. Well, life has to go on.

unfairness in the world(guitar audition)

2009-02-13T06:10:00.000-08:00

Hi guys,

Another week in acjc came and went like a breeze. Many things took place, some of which will forever leave a deep scar in me. Yes, that is how bad things have turned in acjc due to just one audition.

Like what I told every one that I wanted to join the guitar ensemble, I really went for the audition on Wednesday. About 70 people went to the audition. We were held in the waiting room where we waited for our turn to be interviewed. After two hours, it was finally my turn to be interviewed. I was unlucky enough to be interviewed by the vice-president, she was accompanied by another J2 senior who was much cuter.

The audition consisted of mainly two parts, oral test and personality test and here it goes:

Vice president: now i will play two notes, you will tell me which is of higher pitch.
I could not really catch what she was saying as there were at least 5 other interviews going on in the room so I asked the question again.

Me: so u want me to tell you which note you played was of higher semitone?
Vice-president:(stunned)

She gave me a look as though she did not know what is a "semitone"

Vice-president: Just tell me which is of higher pitch.

By now she had already start to express her dissatisfaction.

She then kept playing the first note for many times.

Feeling very agitated, I questioned- Sorry but arh, may I know if you are still on the first note?

By now I could tell that she had had enough of me, she passed the guitar to the j2 senior who was much cuter and asked her to continue the test.

The cuter senior then completed the test with me and started with the personality test based on my interview form.

cuter girl- So you have a music background then you should be able to read notes very quickly.
Me- Yes, it should not be a problem for me.

There is this question on the form which asked you to rate your interest in this cca from 1-10 and i gave it a 8.

cuter girl- May i know why you put 8, such an interesting number unlike others?

I wanted to humour her and made the atmosphere more relaxing so I said- Hmmm I guess its due to chinese supersitition.

the cuter girl initially did not get my joke however when she did, she gave a sweet laughter while the vice-president glared at me with the biggest and angriest eyes I have ever seen, even bigger than my sec4 PE teacher(you know who).

cuter girl- ahaha.......ok I guess thats the end of the interview we will call you if you are selected.

As you all know by now, I did not make it. I was the only one who did not make it among all my friends who went to the interview( not to mention, there were many of them). Just because I offended someone with power in the cca, I was stamped with the word failure. I was crushed by this girl/woman. She took away my dreams of learning the guitar. To make matters worse, she left me in a junction where I have no idea which route take. I had made plans of joining the guitar ensemble even before getting into acjc. Many a times when I was typing this post I had the utmost urge of using every cruel word in my dictionary to describe the vice-president.

It was indeed a immense price to be paid just to learnt this lesson. Like it or not, there will always be people in this world that are more powerful and control your destiny the only thing you can do is to change your destiny if you do not wish to suffer such a fate. Well I definitely will not bow down to this wretchful fate of mine and to all you all out there who is going through the same thing as I, I wish you all the best and may you succeed in changing your fate.

Orientation

2009-02-07T22:34:00.000-08:00

Yo guyz,

It has been a while since I update you all on my recent happenings and I apologise for that. Well, orientation has been fun in acjc. Just as I expected it was a haven of chio bus. It was a place that any guy would like to belong in. However it was quite difficult for me to socialise with them as they were high-class chio bus. I will definitely have to pick up quickly on how to do so or else I would not be able to make full use of my time there(lol).

My first day there was not a particularly enjoyable one as I was accustomed to a whole new type of culture, one which I was hardly familar with and had lost touch with for almost 12 years. I was once again accepted into the lord's embrace. People there were warmth towards one another as they were strong believers in his lord. Being a buddhist there made me felt different. They have moring devotions everyday and morning chapels during every monday morning. However as the days got by I began to feel at home and that this was where I rightfully belong to. Every morning while people prayed, they pray for one another's safety. People there were selfless and they cared for one another. They were also very grateful for the little things that they have everyday.

The last day of orientation was especially crazy. We were supposed to perform our mass dance. Instead everyone started to line up and run around like trains. It made the whole atmosphere looked as if it was a countdown party. Lessons will be commencing soon and I am looking forward to it as it will be a whole new journey of taking in more knowledge, knowledge which cannot be bought but only acclaimed with sheer hardwork, tenacity, passion and integrity.

Thats all for now catch up with you guys very soon. Before I forget I want to give my thanks to my magnificent OG maximus and my three wonderful OGLs eileen, kelvyn and xin yue.

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!!!

2009-01-27T04:46:00.000-08:00

Yo guys,

First of all a very happy chinese new year to all and may all of you be as healthy and as strong as an ox in the coming year. Wealthy is nothing without health so may all lead a very healthy life.

Like every chinese, I went visiting to my relative's house yesterday. It was no fun at all and was quite boring. I guess the visiting just becomes much boring as one grows. I went there to eat and collect ang baos other then that the day seemed like any other day from my very boring life. Most of my cousins were not willing to open up to me. Now do not doubt that I did not take the initiative to make the first move. When one of them walked up in my direction I was smiling to her from ear to ear. Her way of showing recognition was to look at me as though I was some kind of idiot and then looked away coldly. That dampened my mood and I did not want to socialise with any of them any more. However, the younger ones were fun to talk to.

Well there goes the fun period of chinese new year and all of us are again going to sit back and wait for the next new year. School is also starting soon which I am really looking forward to. Goodbye new year hello school and homework!!!!ahaha

4/5 chalet

2009-01-22T07:12:00.000-08:00

hi guyz,

I am back from 4/5 chalet and the chalet rocks to the core. Sure enough there were some mishaps here and there but overall it was fun. The 3 days were mostly gambling sessions where people from 4/5 had to pit against one another on luck intsead of brains. To add on to our fun, Ge shu tian( jasper teo shuo feng) came up with his own da xiao game using magnificent tools. It was also due to this game that I was able to make a killing.

The days of the people from 4/5 coming together has come to an end but the days where our spirits hang together are just beginning. The distance among us drew closer during this chalet and I am happy to say that we have become more of a class towards the end. Even though it took us this long to have this feeling, I am just glad we did it cause this feeling which binds us, people from 4/5 , belongs only to us and is for us to keep for eternity. A big hank you to you guys whom have spend these 3 memorable days together with me. A special thank you to our organiser panyu, because without you, this chalet would never have come together. By the way panyu, don't worry we don't blame you for the extra losses that we have to pay.

By the way, I have decided to start up my own tuition center from home. Those interested may contact me by my handphone or email. Please do help me to promote my business. I provide both primary and secondary tuition.

Alright thats all for now hope you guys have a wonderful weekend and an advance happy chinese new year to all!!!!!!!

moving on

2009-01-14T00:15:00.000-08:00

YoyoYo,

Firstly guys really am sorry for the very late update. I just could not find the time to do a serious update. Anyway, moving on, like every secondary four student, I collected my results during Monday and I had to go through much turmoil before doing so. Before I stepped into the school, I was stopped by the guard because of my long hair. Having only $2 in my wallet I could not afford a haircut.Thus I got into the school by the back gate.However in the end, I still could not escape from mrs terrence and had to go across the street to cut my hair. I got a stupid haircut and rushed back to school but missed all briefing about the jae admission however I made it just in time to receive my results. I am satisfied with my results and will continue to work towards my ambition. Secondary school is finally over for all of us. Its time to move on to a new environment, be it jc or poly I wish all my friends the best and I hope that we would all stay in touch.

I finally read warmachine!!!! The story line really shocks me, it is a really amazing comic with much to offer. James Rhodes aka warmachine was literally torn apart due to a bomb blast. He was then reconstructed by his best friend Tony stark and thus becomes warmachine. Alright will try to update my blog when I have the time. Take care everyone!!!!!

future of marvel

2009-01-03T06:37:00.000-08:00

YoyoYo,

Yo guys just as i promised, this is a sequel to my previous post. Alright, with the invasion over, we find our beloved marvel world to be in much chaos and many still affected by the invasion which almost turned the whole world upside down. A new reign begins, a dark one. With the world's most powerful organisation headed by a lunatic, we can expect much to happen and affect our marvel heroes. In the invincible ironman issues(which I have been following up) Tony Stark has handed over the reins of shield to norman osbourne. In the midst of doing so, Osbourne wanted stark to hand over the list of true identities of superheroes in marvel. This list was collected during the civil war(another special event). However stark knew that nothing good would come out of it and thus refused to do so. When Osbourne wanted to hack into stark's private files to retrieve it he was greeted by a virus stark had set up just for him. This virus tampled with hammer's systems causing massive failure. Osbourne immediately declared war on stark, placing a bounty on his head.

Being one of the smartest guys in marvel, Stark himself had foreseen it and had already gotten ready for the battle! Now the stage is set for our metal head to go up against the whole of thunderbolts(a villain team funded by the government) and hammer!

Meanwhile with the dark reign beginning, many heroes are still unware of the disaster that is following up after the invasion. Marvel is definitely in for a ride as we slowly but definitely enter into this year's special event..............

catching up

2008-12-31T09:01:00.000-08:00

YOyoYO,

Firstly guys, a very happy new year to all of you. May all of you have a great 2009 and may all your wishes come through!!!

I finally have time to update my blog because tomorrow is a public holiday, which means there will be no work. What a relief for me. I got a new job as a mechandiser at Lam soon. My job is to arrange the goods in the sheng siong outlets in the central area. I met all kinds of people, mostly hideous characters that make this world a living hell. I went to work like a zombie and before I regained my 'senses' and 'felt' like a human again work had ended. This was how boring work was for me. To add on to my misery they miscalculated my pay and did not provide any transport fee for me( transportation fee in central could go as high as $5 a day).

Anyway next week will be my last week at work and it will be adious. Now back to my long awaited comics update. Last time I gave you all a brief introduction into marvel's special event, secret invasion. After 8 issues, the invasion has finally ended with a twisted ending and with more trouble brewing in the marvel world. In marvel, super heroes have a secret network whereby they work together to fight villains. This is similar to DC's Justice league. In marvel this group is known as Avengers. There is also another group of secret network in marvel which is set up to deal with all the atrocities around the world and is well connected to the Avengers, it is known as Shield. Both groups all headed by our well known metal head whom also made his debute movie this year, IRONMAN, Anthony Stark. During the invasion, Shield was looked upon as the guardian of this world to guard against the skrulls. They were suppose to make sure that the skrulls could not even lay a scratch on earth. However the skrulls themselves were no easy enemies too. They shade-shifted into tony stark's well trusted butler Jarvis. This Jarvis then injected a deadly virus into the whole of shield, stark enterprise and Avengers tower. This left Stark helpless as his suit is connected to all stark enerprise technology. Therefore, shield was forcibly shut down and the avengers split up. Also, Earth lost one of its strong pillars, Iron man!!! Thus the skrulls invasion almost succeeded but did not pull through as for once both heroes and villains in marvel decided to set aside their differences to deter the skrulls' tyranny. However after the incident, shield was blamed for the plight earth had to go through and Tony Stark, regarded by many to be solely responisble for shield's failure. Shield was disbanded and hammer was formed and the one handling the reins is spiderman's arch enemy, Norman Osbourne.

Enough excitement for one night I will continue this saga in my next post, titled future of marvel!!!!

comics reload

2008-12-20T18:06:00.001-08:00

YOyoYO,

Firstly, a very great thanks to all who have been coming to my blog and tagging it. It is finally looking like a blog and I am sure in time to come, it will definitely achieve what i set it out for.

Back to my comics introduction. During my last post, I have given a brief over view of the world of comics. Now, we will go deeper in depth into how these comics present themselves. Every year, both DC and marvel wolud come up with their special summer events. These comics published are limited editions and would ultimately change the story of many heroes in years to come. They are definitely worth collecting and to those who want to make a fortune out of comics as a collector, these comics definitely cannot be missed by you guys. In 2008, marvel came out with its special event known as secret invasion while DC came up with what is known as Final Crisis. In secret invasion, shape-shifting aliens known as skrulls desire to take over earth. However their invasion will not be like taking candy from a baby as our marvel heroes will form earth's finest line of defense. Skrulls have the ability of shape-shifting into other people including our heroes and at the same time having their extraodinary abilities. To add on to this maddness, there is no telling who is who as neither powers nor science can differentiate the skrulls from our heroes. This too puts our heroes in another disadvantage as they cannot differentiate allies from enemies. With trust gone amount them, our greatest line of defense will be weakened by tenfolds. This is definitely a must watch as we buckle up and brace ourselves for the greatest change that is going to take place in the world of marvel!!!!

(Dammit still raw to blogging and really do not know why my image appear at the top of my post.)
Alright I will continue the introduction of final crisis in my next post. stay tune.

2008-12-19T04:24:00.000-08:00

YoyoYo
Greetingsto all who have been following up with my blog.This new bornt is still unknown to many but I am sure in time to come, many more will follow up with this blog. Before this post I already wrote a post ready to be posted, but my stupid hand just had to go cross the web page out. I almost flip the whole laptop out of my desk. Well enough of grumbling already, time to update you guys what has been going on with my life.

Jobs have started pouring in after Os and I soon got my first job in Goodwood park hotel. Work there was tough and took much out of me. However I soon somehow naturally managedto bring out the energy that was needed to get the job done. Life got better when hannah and Chingjun joined me. Like new bornts, they had no idea what was installed for them. On the second day of work, they had already threw in the towel and wanted to cast out banqueting nd goodwood park out of their lives. It wasunderstandable as life there was indeed demanding and stressful. Their leave seemed to have affected me as well and I too decided to draw a conclusion to goodwood park hotel. During our self-proclaimed last day of work, we went to Bugis to treat ourselves to some good food and to eat to our heart's content. By the way hannah, 6 ju gui do notcome under that citeria. Lastly a great thanks to my primary school brother jason for accompanying meto the first day of work there.

Then, under shi jie's recommendation, I went to fajar secondary to sell books. Again, with the accompany of friends( mr personality,ying wee, eugene, gregory and shijie), work became much more enjoyable.

Had a 2/2 camping on monday and it was quite fun. However it really deprived us of sleep and we looked like zombies that have been just released when we went home. We did much catching up andtalked through out the night. Many thanks to the nine people who camped with me as without you all the camp would not have hold any meaning at all.Special thanks to my man valerie for organising it and providing the tent.

Alright now to the main course, the comics review for this week.To those who are not familar with english comics let me do a short introduction. English comics from America have been long going, some touching a hundred years! The two most famous comics company are marvel and DC. Personally I prefer marvel to DC as it is much more branched out and connected. To those who do not follow up with the comics I am sure marvel is much more familar to u all due to the many marvel super hero movies shown(e.g. ironman,spiderman,X-men, fantastic four). DC on the other hand only has a few well recognised heroes such as the well-known superman and batman.

Being a someone with average purchasing power, I can only afford to follow up with a few of the titles some of them are invisible ironman, new up and coming warmachine,hulk, wolverine first-class,captain britain mi13). There is much totell and I definitely cannot finish everything in 1 post. Stay tune to more of it in my next post. Thanks to all dudes reading my blog.

start of a new saga
