You are The Devil

Materiality. Material Force. Material temptation; sometimes obsession

The Devil is often a great card for business success; hard work and ambition.

Perhaps the most misunderstood of all the major arcana, the Devil is not really "Satan" at all, but Pan the half-goat nature god and/or Dionysius. These are gods of pleasure and abandon, of wild behavior and unbridled desires. This is a card about ambitions; it is also synonymous with temptation and addiction. On the flip side, however, the card can be a warning to someone who is too restrained, someone who never allows themselves to get passionate or messy or wild - or ambitious. This, too, is a form of enslavement. As a person, the Devil can stand for a man of money or erotic power, aggressive, controlling, or just persuasive. This is not to say a bad man, but certainly a powerful man who is hard to resist. The important thing is to remember that any chain is freely worn. In most cases, you are enslaved only because you allow it.

What Tarot Card are You?

You Are An ISTJ

The Duty Fulfiller

You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done.
You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knittings.
Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you.
Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy.

You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer.

What's" Your Personality Type?

poem

2006-07-05T14:56:00.000+08:00

i would like to put ths on my blog before i forget how beautiful it is again.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire in thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, and what art?
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand, and what dread feet?

What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb, make thee?

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Okay, Armed Reaction.

When I started on this serial, I finished the 13 VCD in 3 days! (make that 2.5 days for those of you who want to be bloody exact)

I’m sure this title strikes a chord with many of you out there. Yes, I know it’s a bloody old serial, dated at 199something. Must remember uncle here have led a life of a Shaolin monastery temple monk for the past 8 years and all I did in my daily life was to chop firewood, draw temple from the river, meditate and practice my Yi Jing Jing. Yes, I am Reverend Ralph.

Sorry I digressed. ^_ ^

Anyway the drama didn’t really satisfy my craving for hardcore detective and master criminal with genius killing plot, I was pleasantly greeted with the way Ou Yang Zhen Hua developed and portrayed his character. It’s hard not to like his character in the serial and half way through. I found myself rooting for him. He is petty, childish and unreasonable yet at the same time, caring, thoughtful and real. Yeah, I think I liked how real the character was and how he superbly played it to the bone.

13 VCD -> 13 hours gone like that.

And this is only the beginning.

finally~ i blogged ^_^

2006-06-22T13:12:00.000+08:00

Due to overwhelming requests (okay.. I lied. More like 3 requests), I have decided to take a break from my caveman days and blog one entry today. Because I have been watching so many drama series for the past couple of weeks, thus I have decided to blog about them.

As most of my friends who know me well enough know that I don’t watch television programmes because of the irritating advertisements and how one have to adjust one’s schedule to fit the show time. Yes, I find it very irksome to conform to such a habit and I rather not watch television at all. After kissing goodbye to the tube for the past 8 years (I’m not kidding… yes 8 years.), I have been fully contented with watching anime and DvDs on my computer or television at my own free time in my small little kennel.

My drama watching habit started when I was at a friend’s house watching the game between England and forgot-the-name (yes, I know how contradictory I am. while I was mentioning that I haven’t been watching tv and here I am talking about watching a soccer match with friends. I must clarify something with my dear readers (sadly only 3) that I wasn’t really WATCHING. I was more of like accompanying my friends and using his brand new laptop), I asked my friend if he had any shows to lend me since I would be super free in the coming weeks.

Well I got lucky and managed to borrow Armed Reaction and Return of the Condor Heroes from him. Will talk more about them later. Stay tuned!

Final Fantasy Villians - finally... the last entry

2006-05-29T23:11:00.000+08:00

FF10
Yu Yevon

Meet Yu Yevon, a peerless summoner and the ruler of Zanarkand. Responsible for much of Spira's current tragic circumstances, first taking the lives of his own people to create "Dream Zanarkand," and then drawing on millions of pyreflies with Gravity spells to create Sin.[

Yes..... Yu Yevon is nothing but a GIANT SPIDER. WHAT IS THIS!?!?!??!? Have the game designers gotten lazy ?!?!? What kind of villian is this? It's not big..... it's extremely small.... It doesn't even have a face! No limbs either..... only many many legs. I was quite disappointed with the final villian. My characters were so strong that they finished him/it with 1 blow. Can you believe it ?!?!? ONE BLOW! One Puny Blow.

Well exams are nearing. I can finally study "in peace", knowing that there are no games left halfway, uncompleted. Once my exams are over, i'll start on Final Fantasy X-2 and i'll update you all.

Final Fantasy Villians - continue

2006-05-29T22:57:00.000+08:00

FF9
Kuja - no impression of him

Even though i have completed this game as well, i absolutely have no impression of this villian. From the pictures provided, it can be seen that this villian is a rather feminine one. Mass cloned by a creator together with the games protagonist, Zidane (no.. not your zizou) they are basically genetic twins. Although he's not your average sephiroth, he does remind me of kefka.

As you can see, the villians are getting "softer" and less masculine.

2006-05-29T22:28:00.000+08:00

FF8
Ultimecia (evil sorceress)

FF8's villian is a powerful sorceress from the future who comes into the present through some kind of machine. Manipulating other sorceresses, she commands them to act according to her will. Eventually, her aim is to absorb all their powers and gain master of some time compression thingy, allowing her to merge all eras together. (don't ask me what does that mean, i don't really understand how is that possible in the first place)

Again, i would like to repeat my point that the sorceress in FF8 has the right look (posture, face, attitude etc)

Final Fantasy Villians - continue

2006-05-29T21:14:00.000+08:00

FF7
Sephiroth (my all time fav villian. sauve, cool, stylo. what more can you ask for?)

Sephiroth has captured the hearts of many gamers and girls. Again, as you might observe, the final boss is again big, powerful and almighty. Said to be the strongest member of SOLDIER ever, Sephiroth rose to a prominent rank at an early age. His apprearance intimidated even the elite members of SOLDIER. Sephiroth wields a sword that resembles a large katana, which is named Masamune. Sephiroth is calm and collected, however he doesnt bluff, if he states a threat, he has every intention of carrying it out. He plans to become god-like by wounding the Planet with Meteor and absorbing the entirety of the Lifestream sent to heal the damage, he is always a step ahead of Cloud and his friends. Sephiroth was the son of Hojo and Lucrecia, his body melding Jenova's cells prior to birth gifting him with superhuman strength and cognitive ability. Sephiroth's actions, appearance and theme song (One-Winged Angel) suggest the symbolism of a fallen angel. His biological parents are Professor Hojo and Lucrecia Crescent.

What's happening to Final Fantasy's Villians ???

2006-05-29T20:42:00.000+08:00

I just completed Final Fantasy X. Spent 70 hours on it. For those of you who have not seen me online on MSN for the past few weeks, yeap... i have been gaming every single hour i can get. I was aiming to complete it before study week so that i can focus on my preparation for exams during this precious week.

Ok, allow me to continue. As i was saying, i was playing Final Fantasy X and when i was on my last fight against the big bad boss, I was looking forward to see how the big boss would look like. Would it be ever grand and mighty and powerful like the previous Final Fantasy games i have played before? For those of you who do not know, yes, i'm a final fantasy fan. Not a hard core one who is bent on levelling up everything to max but one who enjoys the story tremendously and loves all their characters.

Before i show you the "big bad boss" in final fantasy X, allow me to recap all the big bad bosses from final fantasy 6 onwards.

FF6
Kefka Palazzo also known as the "evil clown"

When they first developed FF6, it was meant to be played on a console like Super Famicom, that's why the graphics aren't fantastic. Don't get me wrong now, i LOVE 2D rpgs! It's so easy to navigate your characters and the storyline does not lose out to your newer games like suikoden 3 or Star Ocean 3. In fact, FF6 was so popular that it was reproduced in Playstation format when Playstation started getting popular. Okay, back to the bad guy. Notice how Kefka (now isn't that a cool name or what?) looks like? Insanely evil in the first picture and when he morphs into his final form (2nd picture), he looks like some half angel half beast super being? Now let's move on.

Nice Makeover

For those of you who watch initial d would remember this car in the anime or for some of you, the movie. I'm sick of seeing ah bengs with their "half modified" car, a feeble attempt to copy the car the lead drives in the anime or movie. This is one of the best modification i have ever seen. Hope you guys like it.

Many of you say that my blog is a movie blog. Not that a movie blog isn’t flattering but I would like to think of my blog as an entertainment one. Today, I would like to share with you guys an anime that I have been chasing for the past few months. For those of you who still do not know what an anime is, it is actually a form of cartoon animation originating from Japan. These days, you no longer get any decent cartoons on the big screen. It's 3D, 3D and yet another 3D. Even before going on, I’m sure many of you out there are already avid fans of animes like naruto or bleach which are among the more popular ones right now.

ONE PIECE

It is an anime revolving around a crew of pirates led by captain Monkey D. Luffy, whose dream is to obtain the ultimate treasure One Piece that was left behind by the King of the Pirates, Gold Roger.

This is a picture of Monkey D Luffy and his gang. (he is the one wearing the straw hat)

He is sooooooo hilarious with his simple mindedness that it blows me to pieces! I find myself laughing at him even when I’m watching it alone. (Now according to my theory, I always find it harder to laugh when you are watching anything alone. It’s just… odd. You know what I mean? Watching a comedy in the big screen beats watching it home alone anytime because the audiences’ laughter triggers one to laugh along as well. I think this is similar to the concept of adding laughing sounds in a sitcom. Okay i digress. Going back, this would mean that the stuff you are watching alone must be at least twice as funny before you would even consider laughing)

For those of you who cannot imagine how someone as serious as the one in the picture above fit the description of a simpleton, I have kindly attached a couple of his other pictures.

Luffy with his signature big grin

Luffy wanted poster

When Luffy was young he met a band of pirates led by a kindly pirate named Red-Haired Shanks. Luffy befriended that band of pirates and from that moment on wanted to become a pirate as well.
During his time spent with Shanks, Luffy ate a Devil Fruit (Cursèd Fruit in the English dub) known as the Gomu Gomu Fruit (Gomu = Rubber, renamed the "Gum Gum Fruit" in the English Version), and unwittingly turned himself into a rubber man capable of stretching, inflating, or bouncing back impact based attacks.

This is an anime which made me laugh, cry (okay... i admit i didn't cry although i NEARLY did) and glued to the screen for many hours! I strongly rec this to anyone, everyone!

For those of you who do download torrents, don't have to worry!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIUczEqbNbE&search=one%20piece%20episode%201

YES! I have included the link to youtube. All you gotta do is click and watch! It's only 20 mins! For those of you who are studying, take a break and watch! Surely you can spare a break of 20 mins ?!?! For those of you who are working, watch during lunch! I'm sure it will be more entertaining than walking aimlessly along the streets of Raffles Place. For those of you who are on holidays, all the more to click on the link and start watching now!

oh man

2006-05-16T05:06:00.000+08:00

i think i need sleeping pills.......

I need help! I need to verify these tax issues.

What are the things we must look out for when we carry forward donations?
When we get a waiver of the Shareholding test for Carried Forward donations, we can only use these C/F donations against what?

For those of you who want a career in tax, better have answers to these questions.

Books

2006-05-16T04:12:00.000+08:00

For those of you who are still buying your books from borders, mph and whatnot, listen to what I have to offer in today’s entry.

Knowledge has always been associated with power ever since the hunter-gather society evolved into the agricultural one. Books have always been associated with knowledge ever since Qin Shi Huang started burning all the classics and burying all the scholars he could lay his hands (maybe even earlier) on in an attempt to suppress political opinions.

Okay, enough of the bullcrap. Let’s cut to the chase, shall we?

For the many cheapskates of you out there who wants to read books but do not feel like paying retail prices, you can log on to http://sg.auctions.yahoo.com/ and look for this fellow dreamerkingcole17. I have been buying books from him as long as I could even remember. This fellow sells books that are BRAND NEW at a really DISCOUNTED RATE.

Most of his books are going for $10 - $15 as compared to the retail price of $20 - $25. The best part? POSTAGE INCLUDED. Below is an extract of his auction

“For fast deal, u can sms me at 94249015 (Steven) or email me at Stevenkoh17@hotmail.com. THERE IS FREE NORMAL POSTAGE FOR ALL BOOKS.”

How good does a deal actually get when you can save the hassle of shopping and still get to save money!

As many of the aunties would put it “HUAT AH!”

p.s. I do read okay….. no matter how unbelievable it sounds.. no I don’t JUST read comic books.

Ever noticed that as we grow older, it gets harder and harder to make real friends? This is just a thought. When we were kids, everything seems so simple. I friend you means I want you as my friend. I don’t friend you means get out of my life. These days you don’t even know what it means when people say, “Yo! Dude! How’s life man? Does it really mean a concern for the other fellow or does it really translate to “Shucks, another fellow that I don’t really know and don’t really feel like talking so I better make some brief small talk and be on my way”.

It gets harder and harder to detect sincerity and true friendship.

Am I thinking too much?

On a lighter note, I’ll be meeting a couple of friends for a game of tennis this Sunday. It’s been a long time since we last did any sports. I hope this won’t be the end of it.

I think I’m suffering from insomnia. Yes, you heard me. I came back at 12AM and spent my time lazing around until 4AM. Knowing that I have tuition in 6 hours time, I proceeded to try to get some sleep. However, after tossing and turning around for 2 hours, I woke up and started doing the things I have been procrastinating for months. Now I’m blogging because I can’t get to sleep. Later the tuition is a 1-to-2. Die. First session somemore! If they catch me yawning away, they will kick my ass far, far away.

Do I really need this assignment? I don’t know it myself. I took it because I gave my word to this student (who is my first student’s neighbour). WAIT A MINUTE! I better stop here. Kanna… kids these days very IT SAVVY one. What if he accidentally browse upon my blog. Then he will know this dirty secret. I hope I will be able to help him later. First session and his exam is on Monday. God help this kid……

Enough said, I just came back from a meeting with some old friends. We had coffee, a few rounds of pool and supper. It’s nice hanging out with them. One of one, they are slowing entering the work force. I wonder how things will be in 10 years time. Most people find my mature for my age. However, thinking back 5 – 10 years ago, I was also notoriously known as the most childish one ever. How can someone like me change so much? I’m already talking and behaving like an old geezer. Sheesh….. I guess adversity shapes character. When you go through a lot, you change your perceptions, your emotions, and your character. When you are left to stand on your own, you either stand tall or wither away. When you are faced with impending difficulty or problems, you cope with it or you run away. When you are faced with burning decisions to be made, you choose one and hope for the best or never choose either. All these helped shaped the present me, all these changed me drastically. Life….a journey of change. Life….. shit lahz… now is already 630AM. I think I’ll post this up later in the day.

Finally.... i think this is it.

SAW II
It has been so long since I last caught a horror movie. Why? Because I hate them! I don’t like how horror movies are directed theses days, using sound effects to scare the living daylights out of people. Yes, I admit I’m one of those the weak hearted. After getting pretty good responses from my friend about this movie, I decided to sit down and watch it for myself. It was a little gory at some parts but 60 mins towards the movie, I was dying to know what had all these people done to land themselves in such a predicament. I would say that some questions were left unanswered in my head but overall, I did enjoy the movie. I would give it a 3.0/5.0. This movie reminds me of Se7en where a serial killer goes around cleaning up the society of scum.

History of Violence
Initially I thought this was a pretty decent movie about this guy call Tom Stall who killed 2 muggers who was trying to rob him. After that, he realizes that that he has a past which he took many years to try to forget. This movie received decent ratings but I wasn’t very shocked by the violence which was the winning part of the movie. In fact, I was more dismayed at how the whole story progressed with the lead taking killing everyone. I would only give this a 1.5/5.0. Overall this was nothing but a bad experience for me.

Finally i'm done! Why am i blogging so much these days? Maybe it's because i'm running out of blogs to read. People are not updating fast enough so i have to constantly write new entries to kill some time. I'm so sleepy now. Going to take a short nap.

More movies update

2006-05-10T21:42:00.000+08:00

Back with round 2!

Brave Heart
Before I even start on this comment, I’m sure many of you would have already caught this award winning movie. I’m also pretty sure many of you are hard core fans of William the Conqueror. The part which I like was the battle of Stirling. Other than that, i thought it was pretty much a Joan of Arc movie. Yeah yeah, I know I’m biased against movies like this, that’s why I’m only giving it a 3.0/5.0.

Walk the Line
Reese Witherspoon again. Sheesh. All in all, this is a pretty decent movie starring this young man who would later turn into a music legend. It is basically a rags to riches to addiction. I’m not very interested to comment on this movie but I say it’s a 3.0/5.0 seeing that fact that I wasn’t really paying full attention to this movie when I was watching it. But many people have commented that it is a great movie that the fellow playing as Johnny Cash was so convincing that many thought that he was born to play at role. What do I think? I don’t even know who is Johnny Cash…..

Mystic River
This is a movie which received pretty high ratings from the audience. This is basically about 3 childhood friends who underwent a …. Misfortunate incident and 25 years later this incident came back to haunt each of them when a murder took place. This is not your typical Hollywood movie with a happy ending. It depicts how fragile the human life is when exposed to a tragedy. I would give this a 4.0/5.0 because of the depressing feeling it gives but it lacks a certain something in the ending, maybe it didn’t do a pretty good job of spreading any lessons that we can learn from the movie.

Being John Malkovich
To those of you who cannot take weird movies. Skip this one. I find it pretty weird. To think I was looking forward to this movie. The idea was pretty unique. It shows a puppeteer finding a portal which leads to another person’s life. Through that portal, the person is able to see through john’s eyes for 15 mins before being expunged into this grass patch. The best part comes in when this puppeteer is able to go one step further by controlling his body forever. Imagine that! It’s puppeteering at its BEST! Ending was a little … strange. Brrrrr… thinking about it still brings some strangeness in my mind. It’s definitely a high 3.5/5.0.

Sideways
This one I like! It’s a 5.0/5.0! The same director who brought us “About Schmidt” which is a 4.5 brings us this latest movie about 2 guys going on a trip before one of them gets married. This movie shows their entire trip and how they got to know 2 ladies and how they interact with each other. Please do not confuse this movie with some teeny bopper high school road trip movie, because it certainly is more mature than that. I can’t write much about this movie as it really is that simple and complex at the same time. Those of you who wishes to find out more about wine can turn to this movie for guidance.

North Country

Charlize Theron is one good looking actress! This movie is based on a true story where a bunch of women working in a mine (it took place in 1989 and not some industrial revolution!) and the sexual harassment they had to go through. It takes place in a court with many flashback scenes, some of them which don’t make any sense. Sadly to say, after reading more about the actual incident which took place, I realized that the director exaggerated the story to create a higher sympathy level. Booooo. For that I’m going to give him 3.0/5.0. I don’t like it when directors manipulate the actual story to such a huge degree to win sympathy from the audience.

Movies Caught over the past month

2006-05-10T18:42:00.000+08:00

I have been watching a lot of movies recently and this post is purely to share with you guys these movies.

The Pianist
This is another movie spun off from WWII where it is an account of the true life experience of a Polish pianist during WW2, in the context of the deportation of the Jewish community to the Ghetto of Warsaw, a setting virtually absent from all films inspired on WW2. Personally this is very different from all the other WWII movies because the focus is on this painist experiencing WWII. Being Jewish, his entire family was deported to a concentration camp. However, he was lucky to avoid this fate when one of his friends, who was working for the German Army as a policeman hid him from the others. I'm not going to bore you with details here. Out of 5, i'm only going to give it a 3. It's not so much about the war which i liked about this movie but more of how the war affected this individual.

Kiss of the Dragon

As many of you now know, i'm a really big fan of Jet Li. This is pretty old movie and after watching it on the big screen, i was really looking forward to catch it a again on TV. The usual Chinese Cop sent to France this time round to aid the French Police. After being backstabbed by the French, he is force to go on a run before they catch him and silence him off too. Did i ever mention why i like this man so much? This is one fellow who insists on not taking part in scenes that requires him to kiss or take part in any provocative acts because of his wife. This is one man who is cool even without trying. I would give this 4 stars although the "king" is kinda .. a flop unlike your Bruce Lee "Big Boss".

The Family Stone

This is a movie with a star studded casts. You get Diane Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Sarash Jessica Parker, Luke Wilson and my personal favourite, Claire Danes. I can't say the same for Sarah. I never did like her when i saw her in Sex and the City. After catching one season, i thought that was enough. A warm x'mas movie with complicated family ties. (trust me when i saw this). I didn't really like the ending though. It seems very unreal to fall in love with somone after taking a walk. I guess to me, it's only worth a 3.5/5.0.

Just Like Heaven

This is what I would call a chick flick. No fantastic storyline. A girl who got into an accident and remained in a coma. During this period, her soul, spirit or whatever left her body and wandered around as a ..... let's just call it a ghost? Coincidentally enough, she met a man who was able to see her. A heartbroken man who just lost his wife. They started talking, started falling love and yadah yadah. I used to like Reese Witherspoon but after the legally blond bullshit, i can't seem to get rid of this impression of a dumb blonde she is giving me. No offence to dumb blondes though. at least they are hot! 2.5/5.0 out of this one.

Bowling for Columbine

For those of you who have not heard of acclaimed documentary director, Michael Moore, this is the same guy who directed Farenheit 9/11. This is the documentary before that and it's focus is on the Gun Industry in US as well as the Columbine Shooting. This is a documentary which makes you laugh, cry and most importantly it makes you think. It makes you wonder how kids that young could actually arm themselves with weapons and go to school to shoot their friends and teachers. After the incident, many companies were quick to point an accusing finger to someone else other than them. Rock musicians like Marilyn Manson appeared on the show for an interview. This guy seems awfully sane and eloquent during the interview when i always thought that he was a madman. Ahah... Nonetheless, it is certainly worthy of a 5.0/5.0. I'm a sucker for documentaries but this one is really one of the best i've ever seen. Thumbs up for being able to capture something close to everybody's hearts.

Goal

Another 5.0/5.0 movie about a young Mexican soccer player in LA talent scouted to play for Newcastle United in the Toon(This word came from the movie). I think this show highlights the difficulties faced by soccer players and the pressure they go through before making it big. The last part was so touching that it NEARLY forced a few tears out of my cold cold heart. I would reccomend girls to catch this as well. If you wish to start watching soccer to impress your male counterparts, why not start with this movie? At least it's not as boring as catching a real soccer match. One important character i would like to mention here is his co player, Gavin Harris (not sure about his real name). That fellow depicts a very colourful character which is so real and likeable. Under Santiago Munez, he strips away his playboy lifestyle and started taking everything more seriously. Why wait? Go watch!

I still have plenty of movies that i would like to share with you all but i'm getting lazy. So many more movies to go man.....

Till next time.
