Zerging - Redefined

well, i've found the source of the infestation, now i can work on a solution...

HOWEVER

the solutions you guys have suggested (i.e spray, insecticide, ant medicine etc) are quite..ummnn..inappropriate given the circumstances at hand... the source of the infestation, is my fridge =/

i cant just nuke my fridge with ant cynide can i =x

now if youre gonna suggest throwing out all my food, that isnt going to work because the insides of the fridge is too cold for any ant to venture into. some have tried but they have failed. the freezer section is like a deadzone, where ants have tried to conquer and claim it as their own. its littered with the tiny corpses of hundreds ants(not all of them are suicidal), much like the current surroundings of our mt Everest.

they come from the walls of the fridge. the refrigirators mechanism works in such a way that it takes out the hot air from within the fridge to the outside, making it a hotbed for these warmth dependant insectoids.

Peter and I have tried to dismantle the fridge and clear the walls of the Queen but the metal is welded shut to prevent people like us to tamper with the unit.

the safest place for food to be in is the fridge still, just that whenever we open te fridge door hoping to find some sustenance to quench our hunger, we lose our appetite upon looking at the rims of the box. it is swarming with ants =/ (recommended for aneroxic or bullimic people, effectiveness guaranteed)

so our best bet now is to call the agent and tell him/her that the fridge is no longer useable. we demand an exchange, or some monetary compensation so we can get a new fridge.... maybe toss the old one out the window, after we douse it with kerosine and light it on fire.

Another Phase of my Metamorphosis

I just moved into a new apartment with Peter, a close friend of mine here in Tazzie. he took care of everything while i was in Melbourne, sparing me from all the formalities and stuff, so i want to take this opportunity to thank him.

Thank You Peter :)

this new place that ive got, is located about 2.5blocks away from my old place and it is AB-SoluTe-Ly Fabulous. clean carpets, modern kitchen (well kinda), the toilet is spacious complete with a washer and the best is perhaps the dryer. i was laundry stricken for the past 5 months living at my old place, yes true story.

the views i get from my room, living area and "outside" are just stunning. sometimes i have to chose which direction i wanna stare into whilst enjoying my short black coffee in the morning. i have pictures to show off but i wont post them here yet :p mainly because im lazy.

whats better is the affordable price.. seriously this place does not look nor feel like a place for a uni student. more like for a young buisnessman/woman. because of this, Peter and i were ready for some unexpected things when we moved in here.. our 1st guess was that this place had a bad history - unsolved murder. thus haunted... but clearly that wasnt the case (we havent met any apparitions or ghostly figures, nor have we encountered any anthroplasmic happenings etc...

it wasnt noise polution either, this apartment is a little street branching off Sandy Bay Road, 2nd floor - quite far away from the main traffic.

the neighbours are as quiet as a mouse, or mice whichever you preffer.

so what was it?

only yesterday we had a revelation, we finally know why we got this place at such a good deal.

ANTS

yes those pesky litttle legions of armies. they come in such numbers they make your skin crawl. leave a piece of pineapple from your hawaiian pizza and in no time they come marching out of the crevices like highly trained soldiers in an army led by Alexander, or Antlexander even.

usually the source of an ant infestation can be easily found - they all crawl out from the same hole. but not these ants in my place.. they seem to have mastered portal technology from Stargate or something, they warp, yes WARP out of no where. too bad they dont warp INTO no where =(

again i have pictures but this is no National Geographic Blog, besides, their numbers are so disturbing you will get disturbed by looking at them.

just to give you an idea:

they are capable of hauling you out of your bed room while youre sleeping, yes that includes opening the door. true story.

too bad they dont metamorph like butterflies... if not i can tell them im of the same genre as them and hopefully talk things out...like a peace treaty or something....

League of Shadows

familiar with that name? you will be...

remember Bruce Wayne? yes?no? the millionaire who lives in Gotham City. apparently he was batman too!

where Batman recieved most of his martial and stealthy training, no one really knows even until today. however, by luck or by chance my friends and i have stumbled upon one of their training grounds.

yes i am talking about THE League of Shadows.

all of our cameras were miraculously smashed by seemingly thin-air, but im very sure there are much more sinister forces at work, stopping us from taking pictures of their well kept sanctuary from the public eye at all costs!
















this is one of the few photos which survived the ninja-destruction of our cameras. serene yet like all seemingly calm things, untold forces of subtlety and malice constantly lurk about.


















this is a shot of all my team mates who went on that daring mission to uncover one of the lairs of The League of Shadows. however, like every single thing we did up in their mountain - it upsetted them..

so they proceeded to kidnap and convert our covert specialist - Ben
poor ol' Ben. despite his MI:XXIII training, he never had a chance against the physical and mental tormenting prowess of the members of The League of Shadows.
















This was Ben after... we didnt even know he was abducted, subdued, converted, physically augmented, mentally revamped (to a mindless killing machine) and placed back to where he stood just before our Reconnaisance officer could count to three to take the shot.


This is one of their munition caches filled with ninja shurikens, katanas, distract pellets, smoke grenades and class-V mark PEW laser guns. As our weapons specialist was inspecting the illegal goods, Ben the converted ninja continued to harrass and sabotage our reconaissance mission.

































we soon found hundreds of battle armor similiar to this one, carrying armaments of mass deception. like the munitions, Ben the converted ninja was still sabotaging our operations. his masked appearance in this shot made dimensional analysis of the battle tank impossible, not to mention sending all our weapons analysis scientists into uncontrolled laughing frenzies.



the rest of the photos were destroyed during our descent...by friendly forces, thinking we were part of the League.

2nd First Impression

2 years ago, arond this time of year (winter) i rag-tagged a trinity group and went up to Mt Buller to have a go at snowboarding.. it was enjoyable, and definately memorable.

4.wait for next years winter
5.research on all the skii-able spots in Australia

Multi-Leveled Meanings

so what is MLM? (multi-leveled marketing)

personally i dont really know..i heard or read about how the system works sometime ago, maybe i didnt fully grasp the idea or i didnt get it at all, but the financial returns are too little in comparison with the effort needed.. thats what i think anyway.

besides, i kinda feel MLM is very much like the Feudal System back in Medieval Europe, where people under that system are forever encased in their "fate". MLM is the modern form of fatalism. correct me if im wrong.

but hey, i know i am the odd one out here because the sheer number of people doing MLM stands as a testimony to how "effective" this form of distribution is. but if we juxtapose that notion with the number of fans jay chou has, it then becomes highly debatable.

the reason why i brought up this topic is because an old friend of mine asked me

-Dave- says:
u at australia know what is lampe berger ma?

KilllRoy says:
whats that?

-Dave- says:
lampe berger.

-Dave- says:
u at australia know what is lampe berger ma?

KilllRoy says:
lampe berger?

-Dave- says:
yaya..

KilllRoy says:
whats that?

-Dave- says:
lampe berger.

KilllRoy says:
oh okay

KilllRoy says:
sells lamps, oils, fragrances, perfumes etc?

-Dave- says:
are you hear it at aus?

-Dave- says:
yaya.

KilllRoy says:
what about it?

-Dave- says:
u know what is mlm?

KilllRoy says:
yes

KilllRoy says:
multi level marketing

-Dave- says:
have you join mlm at aus?

KilllRoy says:
no

-Dave- says:
why not?

KilllRoy says:
why in the 1st place? lol

-Dave- says:
oh..nothing..

-Dave- says:
i forget your parent is damn rich don need u earn money also eat cannot finish lor

(wtf?)

-Dave- says:
haha

KilllRoy says:
...



at this point, im really ticked off.. he continued to justify himself saying that he only studied to secondary 3 and hes working very hard now to get money back. he then goes on the offensive again asking me how much money my parents send me a month as fees for my tertiary education.

the calculation is a delicate one. but i didnt bother to explain it to him.

but seriously, unless you have studied a couple of textbooks about the history of my familiy written by academics or scholars backed by evidences and references, DONT talk to me, like you know me.

and if you worship mlm, hey thats your god. its dominion does not transcend my realm.

Why am I Not Surprised?

sometimes i really wonder why i bother to study hard for an exam... because when i dont, i actually fare better.

take a look at my Law subject...Richard and I cracked at that subject pretty hard i dare say. but the results, still falls short when compared to my Journalism studies, which i fell asleep before i even started studying, and read 1 hours worth of notes 1 hour before the exam.

i got the estimated results for History tho.. that subject sucked hard.

meh...why do i bother

What Glows but does Not Shine

Standing in the door way between light and dark
He ponders on the situation at hand
Lacking the determination and the righteous mark
Summoning all that is Holy a man could man

The choice was made
He beckons before the Light
but yet the evil fades
and the darkness fleed in fright

He needs no protection
no conciliation
no solace in the light
no redemption

Last Solace

When one sleeps, they are cut off from the world. it is a black blissful world where anything is possible yet whatever the consequences, we could ignore. when youre dreaming that is....

or is it?

i really had been enjoying my holidays here in Melbourne.. tho i havent done alot of things i said i would, it was still very enjoyable. what worries me is the things that i HAVENT done (the type that yore supposed to do).

dreaming and sleeping is blissful, but you can only stay in that zone for that long.. whats worse is when your dreams reflect reality..

like an insight to what is to come later in life... or tomorrow... or when this holiday ends..

i dreamt that i was back in Tasmania. chores and chores then nothing but chores await me, greeting me with arms wide wide open, ready to engulf me in all the routine nightmare.

>.<" not nice...

today was the 1st morning ive tossed and turned around my "sleeping area" since the holidays started...im usually bouncing with energy and joy in the morning...
this morning i hesitated to get out of "bed".

because i could feel the reality of the real world clumbering down on me. all the real-life drama... the place where i sleep is the only solace i could get, but i can only stay there for so long...

whats worse is i can feel something brewing...something that is not supposed to be there, festering within my friends. a few of them..wont name them yet...dont want to freak anyone out..

but despite the distance, i can feel it resonating towards me... some friends are distant...some friends too close for comfort. whatever the outcome, it affects me.

at this point, id say it affects me in a grim way.

time to buckle up. things are ahead of us and we must be ready to face them when they come.

together my friends. together we shall brace the malovelent future.

Bad Omen

when Line told me about the movie, it was very familiar... then i remembered...ive watched the movie before..back then Damien was played by Sam Neil. when we talked about what happened in this new remake, it was too similiar to be "nice"... bad omen..

to confirm this, i went to watch the movie :)

before i start on the contents of the movie, i must talk about this new cinema concept...

its called "thehalfpipe".

this form of cinema replaces the conventional seats with beanbags..

...yes beanbags...

they are huge! you can fit 3 very obese people on it...and thats exactly what they intend to do. we (cousin, rick and i) bought 3 tickets... our allocated seat number is 33,34,35..and to our very gay surprise all 3 numbers appeared on the same bean bag..

taking aquick glance around the room, every bean bag held two people, all of which are of the opposite sex..

so what the @$@$^#$^$&*%^*%^$ are we THREE MALES gonna do? bunk the same bag?

zOMG GHEY

we hijacked 2 other adjacent bags and prayed no one would come claiming them with their legit tickets, forcing us to return to our designated bags and gay each other about.

SO anyway...

(spoiler disclaimer dont read on if you wanna watch it)

hmmm... i gotta admit...it was pretty boring..

main scare tactics this movie employs is sudden flashes and loud noises... maybe because ive seen this show before..so it wasnt that enjoyable..

the story line, pretty straight forward too.. i dont understand why Line dont understand the movie lol..

they served you the story on a silver platter..all you gotta do is eat them up. story fits in quite well..there were no real loops and paradoxes, the PHYSICS however, was very much questionable..

alot of the materials in the movie was beyond fake..the part where the constructio worker removed the blocks anchoring the tanker was bullshit...(where is the other block?)

the way the lightning struck the LIGHTNING ROD and broke it was pretty crap as well... i mean...why would you put a lightning rod up if it would break upon lightning impact? the answer is - it wont break =/ HELLO? its designed to absorb breaks like that so it wont harm anyone or any property...

the part where the journalist was decapicated was pretty fake as well... why would the sign rotate on its bottom axis? if it would rotate in that way, it only means the metal is twisting..

at this point you must be thinking in such a jerk, why should i even bother to pay attention to this little details..

the truth of the matter is - yes the do matter.. that shows how much the scriptwriters and choreographers actually put into producing the movie, it also shows thier knowledge on the materials they work with as well.. in the case of this movie...not very well written.

back to the scare factor...id say its a 4/10.. loud noises and flashes put scary movies in the "B Grade" section.. so is overly gory scenes. not saying this one is gory, its a pretty healthy mix if i may say so.

The Omen is not scary..but its down right disturbing.. the part where Damien was casted in an Iron Maiden.. and where the "priest" dropped Thorn's original child off the building was pretty disturbing.. had my skin crawling all over me.

the part where Damien stared at Kate as she hung to the ends of the railing were pretty disturbing as well..

oh yeah and Line, the injection was not poison, it was just an air bubble. i never knew such a small pocket of air could be so devastating to a human body... like... it stopped her heartbeat almost instantaneously... another area of questionable physics. im not a med student *looks around*

nonetheless, its still pretty much, an enjoyable movie... if you havent got any show to watch lately, i would recommend this one.

6.5 - 10
