First Attack

Well, after weeks of anticipation, someone finally releases First Attack, otherwise known as the EA's initial attack on Orb, which incidently killed off Shin's family.

To think that the main character of Gundam SEED Destiny is there simply because he went to pick up his sister's handphone ^^;

Here it is

, in its entirety. Quality isn't really good, but at least we get to see even more as compared to Zero Attack.

One thing's for certain, at least Cagalli will survive the first episode >_>

Teachers' Day

...is a day of fond rememberance.

...is a time where you try your very best to thank all those who have guided through your short life.

...is an occassion where we celebrate the selflessness of some of the greatest human beings on the planet.

To you, Mr. Ranjit Singh, thank you for all that you've taught me when I was 12.
To you, Ms. Chua, despite our differences, my little dream I wrote when I was 14 turned into reality.
To you, Mr. (******), for putting me down, and allowing me to prove everyone wrong that I could never make it as a serious person.

And lastly, to you, Mrs. Rosemary Fong, one of the brightest lights of my life, even with all the negative publicity that you've been facing from your collegues. Without you overshadowing you in the first 6 years of my educational life, I would never have the confidence to do whatever I wanted to do. Not now, not ever.

Thank you all, and have a Happy Teachers' Day ^_^

More OG2, Destiny and Wangan stuff

First off, stores in Japan have begun airing intro commercials on Original Generation 2. Naturally, the usual fans taped it down and posted the whole set up for the rest of the world to savour.

is working for now, get it as soon as you can, before they decide to take it off!

Next up is Gundam SEED Destiny Zero Attack. This new version shows more of Shin's angst (as if we haven't had enough of it), but the real action is in seeing the remaining Gundams in their transformation phases.

Zero Attack ver.2

Lastly, managed to clear Wangan using the Celsior last night. After losing to Pac-man twice on Saturday, I was convinced that the final straight was utter madness. What didn't help was that I hit a car, and by the time I got out of the mess I was more than 500m behind Blinky. The long catch-up began, and I finally managed to pass both of them just as we were entering the tunnel in the final straight. Lucky too, since the other van was on the opposide side of the road, allowing me to just shoot past it and block it all the way to the end.

Followed that up immediately by trying out the second secret car, the Z31 (the car Akio uses in the very first stage). It handles great, and though it's the first time I tried a 5-gear car, managed to have a pretty good feel with it after a couple of races. Perfect so far, after 13 stages...
