Wayne Seah (aka Wayne Thunder) of The Suns (Melbourne based singapore rock band, formerly known as The Boredphucks) passed away last nite in his sleep. This boy was only 29 yrs old. Uuuurgh, I hate such news. I simply cannot accept it.
Probably unknown to many, The Suns is one of the cult icons in Singapore’s indie rock scenes. Wayne himself was one of the most enthusiastic chaps pushing the local rock scene, always handing out tickets to live gigs.
Some would remember them for the radio friendly hit ZOE TAY (poking fun at our Caldecott Hill Queen’s apparent lack of command in Engrish), others would remember them for cussing on stage at Youth Park…whatever, thats not important. To me, they left their dolby mark on the Singapore indies rock scene.
R.I.P Wayne.
I wished I did not have to do this post at all. I hate the familiar feeling Wayne's current website is giving me.
My best pick for animes this season – Darker than Black. 2 episodes make up one story arc.
The hell gate appeared over the skies of Tokyo and at the same time the Heaven gate was lost. The appearance of the Hell gate led to the birth of a group of Keiyakusha – human beings with extraordinary powers. Each keiyakusha has different ability and being devoid of all emotions, the keiyakushas develope into mean killing machines coveted by all secret agents and investigation bureas. The series ( still ongoing) revolves around the different groups who utilize different keiyakushas to find out the secret behind the disappearance of Heaven gate, the appearance of Hell gate and to collect intelligence information against each other.
The main character Hei has the ability to control electricity. Hei is part of the Soshiki. Hei is supported by In, Mao and Hoan. In is a Doll. Dolls are emotionless spirits. In’s ability is to spy using water as a medium but both In and the target must be in contact with water before she can do so. Mao has lost his body and currently resides within a black cat. He is hooked up to the wireless network and can receive loads of data. Hoan takes care of surveillance, but he seems not to like Keiyakushas a lot….strange.
Of course Keiyakushas can choose to give up all their powers to return to normal life, and they become what is know as Regressors. Then there is something know as弁償, essentially each keiyakusha has to do something in return for their special powers. It can be as simple as singing a song, eating flowers etc. Hei’s弁償is currently unknown and we are not sure what are the impacts of弁償 on the keiyakushas in the long run.
Very interesting series. Full of spy action, gore and suspense, I give it the thumbs up against other animes I am following this season. The other two I am following are 鋼鉄三国志 and Code Geass Lelouch of the Rebellion. These are about the only ones I would recommend, the rest are the usual stuff, nothing interesting. Of course....I am thinking about the St Beast DVD....hmmmm, I admit the story is crappy, but its the pretty boy thing acting up on me again, plus Sakurai and Ishida voicing over Shin and Yuda respectively.....damn tempted.
This one is hilarious ~~ Yes, make no mistakes about it, this is from仮面ライダードレイクseries, not some weird fanvid. Its what I call one of the most disturbing moments in the superhero series 仮面ライダードレイク. Wahahahahahaha~~~~~~~~~~
Although daisuke is one of the Kamen Riders….his special skill is actually ULTIMATE MAKE UP. His makeup skills are so good, it is said he can transform any woman into a beauty. He lugs a big guitar case all over, and the guitar case is actually his makeup kit containing all his makeup brushes, sponge etc. A new Kamen Rider, his skills are slightly weak in the beginning but soon he develops into one of the most formidable Rider. Damn hilarious, coz the police were after him as they thought he had killed another fellow upcoming makeup artist. (I was like…..what a sideline job for a superhero!)
Drake Data - Favorite past time – women, makeup, women, makeup and playing with GON (a little girl with amnesia.) - Character – horny lor, doesn’t really give a hoot that he is a rider. In fact he is not a member of the ZECT. Softie at heart and seems more concerned about helping those around him (especially if you are female) than fighting the WORMS (villains in the series) -Rider Height: 191cm (Masked Form); 189cm (Rider Form) -Rider Weight: 125kg (Masked Form); 91kg (Rider Form) -Punching Power: 7000kg (Masked Form); 3000kg (Rider Form) -Kicking Power: 9000kg (Masked Form); 6000kg (Rider Form) -Maximum Jump Height: 23m (Masked Form); 39m (Rider Form) -Maximum Running Speed: 100m/8.4s (Masked Form); 100m/5.5s (Rider Form) -Right Handed -Device Type: Drake Grip ('Henshin' Gun) -Animal: Dragonfly -Color: Sky Blue -Cast Off System: Pulling the trigger on the Drake Grip after pulling the Drake Zecter's tail throttle. -Cast Off Announcement: "CHANGE DRAGONFLY!!!" -Clock Up System: Slip fingers along the Trace Switches on the ZECT Buckle. -Primary Finisher: RIDER SHOOTING - Drake folds up the Drake Zecter's wings into its scope mode, and targets his enemy. Once the target is locked, Drake pulls the throttle, beginning the power charge. Once the charge is complete, a large power shot can be fired; packs enough force to obliterate the Worm.
This is the full "henshin –cast off – clock up" clip with Drake, TheBee and Kabuto. Aaaahhhh, this is what it should be la (not some makeup school thingy)!
Something cropped up at workplace and its making me feel real lousy.
Not angry, just feeling down.
Its that feeling of wanting to go home immediately and just cozy up in bed under my Endlicheri blanket.
But CANNOT -(1) because I am an working adult, so cannot be wagamama. (2)because I have got a whole bunch of folks working for me, so must be willing to swallow more shit for the greater good. (3) because ...because...because.....
