Was fiddling with Photoshop today. Huggles to custom brushes for making this pic possible.

...I believe the title of the post is the name of a song in the Hellsing OST. Track 7.
Anyway, whenever funerals come rolling about, especially from my mother's side, expect much screaming, shouting, arguing, blaming, then perhaps some crying, but definitely more shouting. Ah, the joys of having my house phone tied up with hundreds of calls from either Johor or Singapore.
My uncle died. I was never close to him, and the most recent memory of him I have is me kicking him. . .what? Don't ask; it was him who started it anyway -.-"
So despite my not-so-fond experiences with him, I respected him as a crazy sonaofabitch with a strong soul, but maybe not a strong body. See, alcohol and smoking does kill. Anyways, I got dragged by my parents decided to go Johor yesterday to pay my last respects.
Now, the last time I checked, Singapore was efficient, fast, and a thousand times better than the snail-like Causeway toll-point over at Johor. Of course it has been a long, long time since I've been to "the other side", so imagine my self-stragulation when my father basically zoomed into the Checkpoint at 100km/h, only to be stopped by a literal mob of motorccyles blocking everything. They weaved in and out, cut in front of us, completely overtook the car lane like a swarm of fucking bees and even smashed the car's sidemirror. Hey, what an awesome job the police must be doing! After all, this is a great service! I mean, although there wasn't any sort of enforcement on the chaos on the roads or, you know, some sort of decent traffic control right outside their fucking headquarters, it's ok, we understand, the police are incompetent! We can't blame them.
Right. So, right after that horribly boring nightmare of a traffic, we got to Johor. Me, being the paranoid, pessimistic dolt that I am, declared that I rather die than face the chance of our car being stolen in the middle of night. I had a show to get back to by 11:00PM, damnit! In the end, we ended in some hotel. Ate spagetti. It was awesome, and strange, seeing how I'm in Johor eating spagetti in some hotel restaurant that had no other customer.
So, after dinner, we finally got to the, err, funeral place. Watching the rites was, again, bloody boring. I should have brought cards =|. Especially since the funeral hall beside us had a table with 3 strangers playing cards. Damnit, I wanted to join in T.T
Anyway, we only left at 11:00PM. Luckily my friend could record my shows for me, or I would have been crying like some deranged lunatic (that was a repetition, but I don't care). It was strangely satisfying tho', to see the paper house, and gold, and car, and servant go up in a big, beautiful fire. The intense heat was so soothingly calming; the way the orange light crackled and licked at the ashen paper embers; or how the support frames, left bare by the fire, collapsed into a mass of tangled lines that soon became a charred pile of grey dust. . .that was beautiful.
I know, I have problems.

The stars are singing,
The clouds a-drifting.
Heaven is awaiting,
Its pearly gates shining.
I watch, my eyes silent,
As he walks through it.
I kneel and pray,
May he taste sweet wines of Heaven.
May he touch sacred joys of Celestials.
May the gift of happiness find him there,
And may the scars of mortality leave him.
I sit and wonder,
My mind thinking and tinker.
I mouth my question,
One of amazement, of curiousity,
Of innocence and strange detachness.
How is the view from Heaven, I ask, I wonder,
How does it feel to watch from up there?
Best. Star Wars. Comic. Ever.
Alrighty, I'm done. Just wanted to spread this around. Besides, only the ending fight scenes in the movie were actually good. The dialogue lines were retarded; and how Anakin turned to the Dark Side was really stupid. Perhaps it was just bad acting and lines, but that scene made me gag. The stupidity of it all astounds me. To quote my friend:
Coltz says:
yeah, and SWIII sucked. =P
Coltz says:
i went to watch it and wished i never spent that much money on the tickets
Oh wells. Decent movie fare I guess, and if you look deeper, it does make sense. Sadly, Lucas doesn't go deep enough to explore and expand on the plot. The movie has, however, set me on a Star Wars fanfiction craze. . . Weird, neh?

Usually, I don't explictly say much of what I do in real life here, but eh whatever. Last Friday, I went to a barbeque with my class. It was fun, it was hot, and my friend brought his laptop. Yes, I know, it rhythmes.
Anyway, it was interesting and of course pretty awesome. Our class were split into four groups: one listening to my geography teacher telling ghost stories; another watching South Park on the laptop; another playing Bridge; and the last bunch abusing my friend's skateboard.
Skateboarding was fun, and thus I stress than I was the only person who managed to not fall down while learning how to skate. What can I say, but repeat the fact that many do not get: I am awesome.
Anyway, my luck was also amazingly good on the that night, with me getting 6 to 7 cards of the same suit during bridge. The wind was kinda strong, which kinda sucked, since it blew the cards all over the place.
Came home at about 10:55, just in time to record my anime. . . I actually wanted to post this on Friday, but was too lazy to type something on that night. Oh well, whatever. Basically, that night rocked, we shoudl bring laptops to parties more often and stakeboarding is fun.
On to other things! Gundam SEED DESTINY is becoming better, tho' Shinn is more of a cocky bastard than ever before. I watched episode 29-31 today, and I've noticed one thing: Is it me, or is the show trying to turn into some kind of Kira hate-fest? Gah, hopefully Shinn can get off his high pedestral and grow a little.
Firefox is fun. It's exactly like Internet Explorer, except that it has less security flaws. Also, it has tabbed browsing. Very handy. I won't ask you switch, but it's a good alternative.
Anyway, I'm bored, and I can't continue any longer. I dislike Asuka Shinn, Athrun is becoming a pussy, Naruto 263 should come out right now and I have several fic ideas running amok in my head. That's all.
