My eyes welled up and I nearly cried when I held this on the 11th, 2 days before the actual release of the game I have waited 2 years for the sequel and it's worth every penny and seconds (I finished the game in 1 setting from sunday 1am to monday 1am........a little crazy I know)........Move over Lara Croft.....Nathan Drake is the biggest treasure hunter to date......in the gaming world that is.....

a quick update
was down with h1n1. diagnosed last sat during my call!!!....
so I spent a total of 7 days trolling at home, locked in my room with my bed on one side, ps3 on the other, laptop on trying to watch the live feeds on the hamsters in the big brother house (go Michele!!!)
managed to visit orchard ION for the first time (fyi after my quarantine).......infested with many many people....shops aplenty, oxygen deficient......shady guy tapped my shoulder and said he spotted me from afar....handed me his boss' namecard....what gives?
Bought myself a Givenchy tie + cuff links for Bran's big day. Qp bought her wii at my trusty, reliable game shop at the godforsaken simei. Pete couldn't make it for dinner
Haven't been meeting up with cell members....Work and health are the main reasons. Feels like I am drifting afar on my one man raft...
Happy birthday Singapore!!!!

pull hair
Don't you have instances where you are so frustrated and tired with a person, you want to I do.....many a times.....if only its legal............ I have fallen in love with Anna Paquin and her median diastema.
- kick them in the crotch
- pull their hair out
- shake the crap out of them
- slap them left right and a jab to the nose
- waterboard them
- perforate their sinuses
- mount and pound them incessantly
- bite them in the neck (true blood style)
just to get your point across cos their skulls are too thick

You know age is catching up on you when
1) you become an uncle
2) someone calls you "uncle"
3) you are becoming more impatient and more easily frustrated
4) Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are the more talked about celebrities
5) you don't understand the craze surrounding Hannah Montana, High School Musical and JoBros
6) you start listening to class 95 and you would even consider Gold 90.5 for a channel switch
7) you have to go to http://www.urbandictionary.com/ to find out the meaning of the latest lingo
8) you actually watch the news
9) you feel like staying at home sometimes to lounge around
10) your parents are dropping not so subtle hints on your future marriage
11) your friends are getting married
12) you actually feel a tinge of embarrassment collecting red packets during CNY
13) boys getting enlisted are in the 90s batch
14) they change a totally different group of Hi-5
15) you cannot remember what you had for lunch the very same day
16) you think of the shoulda woulda couldas
Yep I am not getting any younger.......But truth be told, I would take adulthood over my teenage years. Being financially stable, independent and respected feels much better as compared to the grungy ol nerd that I was back in those days.
PS: Watch True Blood. My mind was blown the bleep away after episode 1

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves Trailer
For people who have played Uncharted 1 - Personally by far still the best game in ps3 AND yes i am including GTA, MGS and RE in that list...check your stores soon!!!
the most dangerous food for men?
is not the piece of lard you find in your char kway teow.
Neither is that handful of trans fat chips you plonked into your mouth while watching the tv (at least that's how I do it) nor is the greasy salted fries that comes with your extra value meal (thank God for MacDonald's and Michael Moore - which everway you swing)
so what is it you might ask?
Believe it or not (according to Men's Health) it is SOY!!
The article albeit funny to an extent serves me a ladel of information that I actually do not know! The below are the signs and symptoms of overingesting of SOY:
a) slower growth of hair at all areas
b) no more morning erections
c) flaccid penis
d) man boobs!!!! yikes
Basically they all point to signs of gynecomastia (which means basically feminising the physicality of the male body). So you can SOY to the list of cimetidine and omeprazole....
Well the modus operandi of SOY in the male body is that it somehows enlarge the mammary glands in men and tests showed that estrogen level in test subject X is 8x higher than normal limits for men. And when test subject X stopped, the estrogen level dropped to the normal limits........
Well in the defense of SOY, subject X did take a lot of it so I guess that would be part of the reason as well.
For some naysayers, it might not be enough of a scientific evidence but the thing is this relationship is only at its infancy stage of research so more studies are probably being done to revel in the wonders of SOY. Thus for me, this is good enough an evidence for me.
Say no more for randomness of SOY bean drink, every morning Mr Bean pancake and the boiled SOY beans on the conveyer belt of the likes of Japanese restaurants..........
And for the gym rats who replace their protein shakes after workout with the cheaper Nutrisoy, you might get boobs instead of pecs.....so take heed.
And kudos for Men's Health for being some careful with SOY possibly labelling them as the most dangerous food for men....sometimes you wonder they really take defined pecs more seriously than your heart.........
Yes to my girl-friends who might be thinking after reading this entry, is it harmful for us?
From the article, I didn't gather that but you could postulate that it would enhance your bust size.....so drink away or pump it in your system.....whatever works.....you don't have a erm you know what.....
