seee this....
haha... this is h3AveNLy!!! yup!
the most successful donut outlet in indonesia. Even krispykreme lost to it.
General comment: Krispykreme too sweet, J Co nicer. haha...
My fav is the 2nd row, 3rd frm left: the Oreo donut. The top is sprinkled with oreo crumbs. Tastes nicer than oreo itself muahahaha...
And also the first on the 2nd row: the Tiramisu donut. Maybe becoz i loooove tiramisu, but this is niiice, esp when reheated in oven.
Once you put it in your mouth... uggghh... instant orgasm.
3rd row, second frm left is nice too: peanut butter.
The last was disgusting. green... i thought its MINT (my fav icecream flavour) but no! its Green Tea! ugh! i puked it out. Definitely not touching the rest.. But my dad likes it. hehz...
Anyway alot of flavours are the same everywhere so i dun see anything special.
J Co
The longest running donut outlet: Dunkin Donut. Has been around since 1980s. Not bad, but its losing out to the newer ones. sad!
Anyway, karen! still insisting on krispykreme? hahaha...
Hmm yest i went to the largest wedding i have ever attended EVER! haha...
it was my mom's doctor fren's son. The bride has a twin sister. hmmm i wonder how they differentiate one another haha. Twins confuses me ALOT haiz...
Anyway there are 2000 invitation. TWO THOUSAND. so assuming each invitation is for a family of, average, two... then the total no. of guest: four thousand.
Oh well there was already a huge traffic jam while going there.
The entrance:
The Hall:
Gg to kiss liao aww:
This one is at the extreme end at the back and there is a big screen in case the ppl at the back cant see the front LoL
Anyway i was at the back, so i cant see the kiss live ... hehz.
They have dance floors too, but drew has no one to dance with T__T how sad
Lots of food there, separated into stalls with diffenet types of specialties... Indonesian food, german bbq etc etc. But this one caught my attention haha...
Its indonesian food too
This is wad the food will look like, but I forgot what its called. The middle lump of crap there, thats chocolate in dough. But it tasts reaally nice mmm...
Ahhh... wonder how my wedding will be like in the future.
But then again, its all abt $$$
ok first of all for those of u who have not watched season2, forget reading this cuz u wun be able to understand haha... I did a heroes season1 review before so i shld do for season2 oso.
Although the series is now currently only up to episode 8, i am impressed beyond words so i want to start the review NOW!
Oh and btw i got a feeling that heroes might stop temporarily at episode 13. why? because the writers went on STRIKE! talk abt dissatisfied brilliant writers. The same goes for Grey's Anatomy also, and i cant rmb which other title is also involved. but anyway back to my point.
most of the points i adapt frm wiki since they always v complete. and also i try to keep this review absolutely SPOILER-FREE. ermm... at least minimise it.
Introduceth teh new characterz ferz kthnx!
Characters
Monica Dawson
Powers: copycat
she can learn everything that she sees, and mimic it in action. Of couse she cant copy superpowers, but who knows.
The way she discovered her superpower is cutest! She watched this WWF show her bro was watching in the morning. Then when she got robber at night she did the exact same move. Then she was like ohwtf o.O rofl
Maya Herrera
Power: Curse
This is an emo power. She kills when she is threatened and she cant control it. Her eyes will go totally black and she will tear out black blood. creepy!
Thats why she is travelling from venezuela to US in seach for a cure from Dr Suresh. and of all ppl she met sylar along the way to ask 4 help.
Alejandro Herrera
Power: idunno
Twin sister of maya. He is the only survivor when maya discovered her powers and unwillingly killed off the entire family during his wedding. Because she felt threatened.
He can calm her down and absorb her curse, but still ok ok wun die de. He can also cure/revive the victims of the curse, but not if its too late.
Takezo Kensei
Power: Immortality
This character is deep. Wun explain much here, but if wan to read more i will put it under Spoiler Alert section. I dun even know for sure whether he is good or bad.
Elle
Power: Electric Manipulation
This character is cute but sad at the same time. She is a sadist, mild one though.
"the term sadism refers to sexual gratification in the infliction of pain or suffering upon another person", Wiki
She likes to give her 'lover' a jolt of electricity. Probably prefers that than kissing. Like she keeps pleading to increase the voltage then the 'lover' also bopian. That 'lover' happens to be the imprisoned Peter Petrelli. saddd
And she was imprisoned in the facility since she was 8, so she had no proper childhood. She still has this childhood mentality in her and was so amazed and giggly by her first kiss, which turn out to be a plot used by Peter to escape. saddd
ok i shall also introduce my 3 fav characters oso, becoz I LIKE IT! can
Peter Petrelli
Powers: Power Absorption, and later on, Retention
Hiro Nakamura
Powers: Space/time continuum manipulation.
In layman's terms, he basically teleports and can travel through time. Yes stop time oso so he pwnz!
Claire Bennet
Powers: Tissue Regeneration
she is damn chio, imo. And the part she plays is cutely done too.
Plot
Season 1 recap
This is going to be the main theme for the series, so listen well.
In season1, its all about a nuclear catastrophe where Peter Petrelli uncontrollably unleashed his nuclear power he obtained frm Ted Sprague (now dead) and caused a population decimation in New York. The city will be dead (hellgate london style, except not even a single human/demon).
They knew this coming by studying Isaac Mendez clairvoyant paintings and the future Hiro travelling back to present to warn the present Hiro, and the present Hiro travelling to the future himself. All seen and predicted, and all come true. Its how they break from their foretold destiny thats awesome.
And let me say again because of Hiro Nakamura who can break the space/time continuum, the storyline is no longer linear. So its bits and pieces of the past present and future jumbled together. U have to fit the pieces. But they all link well and make absolutely perfect sense.
I have never been so impressed by a storyline. probably the brilliance of naruto and deathnote and fate stay night. Sadly not bleach haiz... think its good but not as impressive. Anyway, i digressed.
Season 2 plot
Like season1, it involves population wipeout. In season1 they did introduce the Shanti Virus which killed Mohinder Suresh's little sister. Then he realised his blood was the cure. But then, he injected his blood into somewhere somehow and created a new strain of virus which is deadly and, most importantly, can affect the normal humans instead of just the mutants.
(i'm not v sure on this, i am abit blur oso. But thats good since there wun be spoilers haha)
Kinda like the Legacy Virus from the X-Men
There are 7 more 'secret' clairvoyant paintings of Isaac Mendez which the forever-evil Company has confiscated. And all shows the visions of the futue, in which 3 out of 7 has came true this far.
And Peter Petrelli who has absorbed Hiro's powers travelled to the future and saw the population being wipeouted. But slightly better, at least 10% survived. But the city is dead and the survivors are being kept in camps while the remaining virus-bearers are LEFT TO DIE IN BIOHAZARD CAMPS. homg!
Peter Petrelli: O.O *stunned*
And the thing is Peter Petrelli has lost his memory after the Haitian forcibly removed them 'for his own good' So he is still kinda in shock with each of his 'new' rediscovered powers which he absorbed in season1. poor soul. have to handle all the shock.
Prologue
(this is what happened strictly in episode 1 & 2 only)
Peter Petrelli woke up in a cargo container, chained up and memory all lost. Cant even identify himself. And he was taken in by a group of gang mobsters, in which he will fall in love with bigboss' sister. How cliche.
Nathan Petrelli walks off perfectly fine thinking his brother Peter is dead.
Hiro Nakamura went to the ancient japan era of Takezo Kensei. He was a legend in japan hero, but he turned out not as what he expected. He is a GAIJIN (angmoh) and he is a DRUNKARD+COWARD. den Hiro was like uh-oh and tried to instill heroic values in him. Things get omg-asmic afterwards which i wun spoil. But he fell in love with Takezo's supposed lover in ancient Japan History, the blacksmith's daughter. more DRAMA but this is NEW omg NOT A CLICHE I LIKE IT TEH VERY MUCHXORZ
DL Hawkins is dead. Niki Sanders left her son Micah in the house of his cousin Monica Dawson (the one w mimicry power). While Niki went to The Company (omg the forever evil Company) in search of a cure to her split personality.
Monica Dawson's realisation of her power was convered up there. But she and little micah are so cute. When she thought that there are smth wrong w her den Micah enlightened her. hahahahaha... to be taught by a younger cousin.
Anyway both started to appreaciate their own powers.
who else... i did maya and alejandro and elle. That leaves one more...
TAKEZO KENSEI
*takes a deep breath*
Sp01L3R @L3Rtzzz!!!
as i said he is a gaijin, he got immortality and he is a drunken coward. When in history he is recorded as a v brave warrior. How can that be? Hiro's intervention! what else can it be.
Anyway Hiro tried to change Takezo kensei so much that he ended up being recorded as the real Takezo Kensei by the blacksmith's daughter. and YUP THEY BOTH FELL IN LOVE BUT THEY CANT BE TOGETHER! saaad but i am desensitized liao... (not that i watch alot of drama)
So... is Takezo as sloppy as he looked? Is he really some drunken dork? Is his powers like Claire Bennet or even Linderman?
find out in the episodes of.... *drum rolls* HEROES!!!
But anyway to say how powerful this character is, they say that the previous episode's antagonist, Linderman, was his disciple. so think abt that. And he survived thru the warring era when he met Hiro Nakamura because of his immortality.
Oh and back to the basics of the episodes, Jap said that the first 13 will be more about the previous generation of Heroes.
this is the takezo kensei mark which has become an important symbol in the series, so watch out for this...
haha watched all these in justin's house and we kept discussing about all these and even more of marvel stuff haha... so i feel a need to blog all these down.
and haha all the pics i get are frm wiki one. I didn bother googling for their best pics, though i have alot in my com in indo. i chiong season1 in 2 days there. mwahahaha...
I chiong this post in about 1-2 hours. haiz... I hope i didn do a messy review.
Gotta pack up since i am gg indo tmr so baibai ppl. see u all and I'LL BE BACK!!!
if i go back indo then maybe i will re-edit this post.
A few days back i was drawing these. I penciled those on a piece of paper and then juz outline it with a marker. Then i did all the colouring stuff on photoshop.
Kinda satisfied with the results hahahaha...
The first one that i experimented on.
the basic sketch:
and then i did basic colouring:
and finally the shading and toning, to give the nice 3D effect.
ok the result was satisfactory. But i used such a simple character design to test out the colouring. The boots is the most simplest foorwear i have ever seen, and her one-piece dress is also too plain.
Then, inspired by Karen the fashion guru, i stumbled across her blog and happen to see her posing in her nice shirts and took picture of it without actually buying it hahaha...
SOOO... to fulfill the dreams for her birthday; and since the shirt is priced at a GG rate, its strictly over my budget to buy her that (its the thoughts that count right?), so I might as well animate her in it hahahaha...
so finally again drew2 went on to work on the sketch:
this took a long time. Hard to come out with the pose oso. Hated the pose for the first one.
and colouring:
and tadaaa
ok karenime sounds so lame, sorry. creativity not working atm :p
if u wan to see where this was adapted from, pls see it in her blog. Its in one of the bday entries. haha...
Ok to give a more detailed... details to show that its actually Karen the real deal, so put in the mole factor. See that 4-pixels mole below her neck? yah u can cross-reference it with the real thing. I am abit confused about its exact location because she said its sligthly off, but haha... at least its more or less there, and i wun exactly go into anatomy calculations on the real thing to find out where should i press the 4-pixels brush button on.
anyway too small and it will look like dirt/accidentinthesketch, too big and it will look intimidating, like birdshit liddat. so 4 pixels is juz nice haha...
Anyway the mole is not the main focus. kthnx. Its juz a proof that its her haha... If another person wants it and she dun have a mole, i can juz erase it teehee.
But i wun do that lah haha...

I am thrilled by this new online game Hellgate: London.
The graphic is damn cool and the gameplay is awesome la, can.
The setting is in London. But its no longer the normal London. Hell breaks lose and has torn the city apart. The normal landmarks of London are still there, parthenon, the bridges, city squares and street names etc etc, except all are blown up and destroyed by demons.
Your role? Destroy evil, fight for justice, bring hope to mankind, save mankind.
The cliche, what else can there be, but thats basically the theme for all games and i still loved it haha... This one is unique in its own way.
I love the setting, its brilliant. A city we can relate to, except it looked post-nuked.
The hellgate opened (were to open) in 2020, demons invaded London and by 1938, thats what happen. You came in to save the world, The Chosen One. but that makes every player the chosen one so dun need to feel so spehshial k, get it? in case u go arnd the game bragging u are the chose one to other players.
Aim of the Game: close back that damn gate. rampage along the way.
There are 6 classes to choose from,
Templars: Guardian, Blademaster
Cabalists: Evoker, Summoner
Hunter: Marksman, Engineer
Templars:
ppl say engineer best because hardest to use, but if used correctly, u will own thru. Marksman is the easiest because u will mostly be sniping or playing CS style so all depends on skill. It is currently the most-used class in the game. Guardian are pure tanks with high def and HP, blademaster deals insane damage. But i dun like those 2 cuz they close-range and i dun like mindless slashings.
For me i am more the spellcaster type of guy, so i go for cabalist. I wanted summoner because thats where the coolest graphics always go to. But the graphic strain will juz lag my com so then again, no. And u are basically letting ur summons fight and u urself run away from fights. NO NO! so i am evoker class.
Evoker class has a few builds: fire, spectral, lighting, bone and poison.
I am gg for the hybrid of spectral as main long-range damage dealer, bone for stuns and poison armor as defence. Poison armors deals damage to enemy when enemy attacks you. Fire is too short ranged and lighting is unstable for me.
So when u play muz build the character accordingly. Playing as a specialised evoker or generalised evoker. Generalised evoker is pump skill points into all the skills and see which one suits u most. Definitely not designed for PvP combat, but can impress viewers in PvE if u want to get them to join the game by spamming cool effects hehe... As for specialised evoker usually, u know what kind of evoker u are building and juz pump skill points into that area. Its for owning PvP.
Mostly people do generalised evoker first, then start a new character as specialised evoker. Because they would know what skills they like that goes along with their own personal tactic, so they know where to pump. Remember, max level is 50, so there is only a total of 50 skill points. Choose wisely. I build with PvP in mind, not farming in PvE.
and another awesome thing abt this game, u can play in third person view
or in first person shooter mode.
Usually the first-person is for the marksman, since they will be playing CS style. It would be stupid to do mindless slashings in first person. haha...
yup thats all for my personal review haha...
anyway watch this, its so funny. Guarantee love it!

Life is so boring nowadays with all the uni ppl stuck with exams and the ns ppl juz busy defending the country (when there is no point defending). No sign of war coming anytime soon haha... Its a time of peace. And no one would want to conquer singaporeland when its so puny.
Anyway, I just went eat at Kuishin-bo today with my indonesian frenz haha... Its an amazing japanese buffet restaurant. Ambience's nice, with the japness aura feeel, and a large range of food to choose from. Basically... Sushi and sashimi paradise!!! haha lol.
Though it cost $30, i think the range of food to choose ala allyoucaneat perfectly justifies the price.
Took some pic of the food i ate...
sushi fest!
rolls galore: california roll, tempura roll and soft shell crab.
includes sukiyaki set too, so its definitely worth it!
[clockwise] tiramisu, dorayaki, dango, mochi(sesame n red bean), white choc, grass jelly
more dorayaki n dango!
green tea icecream
and the green tea there is NICE too. its cold and FIZZY! i think its carbonated but its NICE!
haha though the sushis there dun feel fresh, but who cares its allyoucaneat, can. haha...
eat beyonde my max capacity >_< felt exploded, only my LATENT sixpack is holding me in place. if not i would have popped.
sadly didn try out the teppanyaki there haha... wanted to leave it for later but ended up too dead to continue.
yup so if u fewl convinced its called Kuishin-bo at suntec tower 1 level3.
haha i fewl like an advertiser/advertisement now.
