Here I Am, Once Again

Finally, it's the holidays! After the pressuring exam, where I am forced to sleep late and wake up early, I can now sleep late and wake up late. It's a win-win strategy for both the morning (or afternoon) me and my night (or midnight) me! Hoorah! Best of all, I have an entire week (most probably less due to procrastination) to study biology paper 3, physics paper 3 and chemistry paper 1, 2 and 3. Which sucks. Oh, and Chinese. Which sorta is useless since we took the main exam already, and our teacher said this was more like an "exercise".

Ah, and for the first three days of the holiday and I am stuck at my 'kampung' already. You know what that means right? Bring out the drumroll, it's... the suck-ass computer of uselessness. Okay, fine, it's not entirely useless. At least there's the internet (even though I can't do much besides downloading things and reading articles), the Microsoft Word's working, and my cousin lets me watch some of his anime in Chinese sub.
 

 

Wait, didn't I destroy you before?

I will reach home in due time, and it just shows how grateful I am towards my computer. Actually, it doesn't, but who am I to argue with the little perfect identity I created myself that stays locked up somewhere inside me?

I also browsed a lot of youtube videos in the lpast few hours/days. Anybody heard of a recent movie called "The Thing" which is a sequel but is actually a prequel of the movie "The Thing". Sounds confusing? It is. Basically, both movies are titled the same, one made in 1982, one made this year in 2011. The movie in 2011, which is supposedly a sequel, is actually the prequel of the 1982 movie. Somehow the alien in the movie gets lower quality textures upon reaching the 1982 movie.

While the movie is quick and a little fast paced, the storyline isn't too bad. A few scientists in Antarctica discovered a spaceship and an alien life form trapped within an iceberg for God knows how many centuries. The scientists then decide to take a tissue sample and make a discovery that will "make them rich and famous", though what it means is actually rather vague.

The alien itself is merely called The Thing, hence the title. It has the ability to replicate the cells of its prey (basically it copies what it eats) and imitate the person to get close to other food sources. In a group of paranoid scientists, this creature does fairly well in causing chaos.

A parody of the movie by Smosh. What a cute little Pokemon.

In other news, I am rather excited for the upcoming Heart of the Swarm, an expansion for the Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty campaign. New units will be introduced, and the campaign will feature my favorite race, the infamous Zerg.

In addition, a new game will be introduced by Blizzard, titled Blizzard DOTA. Yes, you guessed it, another spinoff! But don't worry, the graphics are amazing, the heroes quite interesting (ranging from various Blizzard games) and hopefully it is a custom game for SC2.

 Sweet, eh?

That's all I guess, for now. I don't think I can continue to use this computer; the keyboards are snapping and biting at my fingers. They are harder than rocks, I say. I'll probably do a post on an anime review, a short one, mind you. I'll also probably post a short story that you guys might be interested (or not) in reading. Basically it takes place in the universe of my own creation, where magic exists and the world is made much more scarier that way. Till we meet again.

YC, signing out.
