Blood+

This is a cool vid I found of the opening title of an anime I recently started watching. The song, Aozora no Namida by Takahashi Hitomi, is the 1st opener for the anime Blood+. This vid features a few cut scenes. Not sure if they're from the series itself, or specially drawn for this music vid. Either way, cool vid, awesome song.

It's gonna be a Blue final

In today's FA Cup Semi-final, Manchester United lost to Everton on penalties, 4-2. The score after extra-time was 0-0.
Chelsea, after beating Arsenal yesterday, will face off with Everton in the finals at Wembley. Both blues (Chelsea and Everton) overcame their red adversaries (Arsenal and Manchester United) to book a place in the final.
Lucky Colour of the Week: Blue.
Penalty summary:
Everton's Cahill starts his run up.. and blasts the ball up and over the bar!
United's Berbatov steps up to the spot. He shoots. . . Howard saves! Berba's cheeky pass down the middle was stopped by Tim's legs. Howard jumped to his right but somehow managed to get his legs in the way of Berba's shot.
Everton's regular penalty taker Baine steps up. He shoots. . and SCORES! Slams the ball into the roof of the net. Foster stood no chance.
It's United's captain, Rio Ferdinand, to take United's 2nd penalty. Rio sends the ball to his left. . . but Howard palms it away! 1-0 to Everton!
Former United player Phil Neville, and Everton's captain, steps up to take the third penalty. He starts his run up.. and calmly sends Foster the wrong way. 2-0. The ball snuggled into the bottom left corner.
United sends Vidic for the 3rd penalty. Vidic is taking quite a long run up. He starts his run. . oh! Vidic checks his run! Howard is caught off-guard. Vidic continues his run up. . and dispatches it into the bottom left corner! Howard dived the wrong way! The ball went in off the post!
It's 2-1 now. Game on. Everton's extra-time substitute, Vaughan, takes on Foster for the fourth penalty. Vaughan starts his run-up, and scores! Foster went the right way, but was helpless against a shot of such calibre. 3-1 to Everton.
If United misses this penalty, It'll be all over for the Red Devils. Anderson steps up to the task. He starts his run. . and calmly dispatches the penalty. 3-2. Anderson winks to the fans ;) There's a glimmer of hope for United.
Everton's Jagielka will be taking the fifth penalty. If this goes in, it'll be all over for United Quintuple dreams. Jagielka starts his run. . and SCORES! 4-2 is the final score, on penalties; Everton have booked their tickets to the FA Cup Final!

Drift and the Rain

On my way home today, drove quite fast. West side drizzling, road was wet. Car was wobbly. Mayb I wasn't in the right frame of mind. I took the corner from Brickland Road into CCK ave3 @ 60-100kmph (not sure of speed. I started braking from 100kmph, but only turned into corner a little later). I don't know why, but I didn't release my brake at all. My tires locked up, and I skidded like mad. Luckily at 40kmph, just before bumping the traffic light, I released the brakes abit, and car snapped out of the skid. I applied a little acceleration and managed to crawl to the next traffic light.
Zzz.. my thought process just froze. didn't react at all. I'm disappointed with myself. Luckily nothing happened. Twisted my wrist abit too holding the steering wheel in a very awkward position through that turn.
Bowled at Mt Faber SAFRA before this. out of 6 games, had two 20X games. one 200, one 202. I'm happy :) It's been quite awhile since I got scores like that. But, my release is super inconsistent with my new drilling. Need more practise.
Rain. When travelling at 100+kmph and hitting a puddle of water, the effect of water resistence is felt alot more. Must remember that. Was travelling along Jurong Town Hall road. Just past the Science Centre omw to Bt Batok Rd le when I hit a big puddle while travelling on the right most lane. The puddle slows the speed of the right side of my car relative to the left, causing my car to veer towards the right. Almost went up the curb wor haha. Lucky I reacted to that in time.
Don't know why I didn't travel slower. Mayb coz I wanted to get home faster. But I think it's coz.. I juz felt everything was going so slow. 90-110kmph felt.. normal =,='"

Sleep,
Ambrose

FB Quiz

So i did a quiz on facebook, that supposedly links my birthday with my personality.
and here's the result. . .

"December
Loyal and generous. Sexy. Patriotic. Active in games and interactions. Impatient and hasty. Ambitious. Influential in organizations. Fun to be with. Loves to socialize. Loves praises. Loves attention. Loves to be loved. Honest and trustworthy. Not pretending. Short tempered. Changing personality. Not egoistic. Take high pride in oneself. Hates restrictions. Loves to joke. Good sense of humor. Logical."

True? False? you decide. I honestly think that this is quite close to the truth. Then again, most of these quiz give ambiguous answers that suits most personality traits ;p
