GMessenger!

Interesting isn’t it?

Without all the crap MSN has, GMessenger will enable instant messenging for .NET passport users, meaning all current MSN users will be able to use GMessenger with their current logins and contact lists.

The alpha is yet to be distributed. Current build is 0.5. Despite the name convention, Google has nothing to do with this IM program. It is simply a personal project by some guy on Neowin.

Welcome to Vancouver, Italy!

For a school projects, of which highschool students in Italy get to “meet” us to talk about the Olympics that’s going to happen in Vancouver 2006. Or something.

In correspondance to the request of international knowledge, a website (or rather 3) will be built. I forget the specific subjects that these information databases will be about, but a draft of the design and coding of the site has been secured, as follows.

http://www.mtsix.com/portfolio/15/

Now only the content is in the line of progress.

P.S. The reason i’m talking like this is because I just read the beginning part of Frankenstein. The narrator’s voice annoys me so much that I want to bite his finger off.

Jet Li Pwns

Jet Li > Bruce Lee > Jackie Chan > Keanu Reeves

I’ve always been a fan of all of Jet Li’s movies. Lately (the last 3 years or so), I’ve been missing out on a lot of the new ones.

Movies to see:

  • The One
  • Unleashed - this one is new
  • Romeo must die - this one seems absolutely awesome
  • And perhaps some old ones

Jet li’s fighting style is so smooth and fast. By limping on one leg and jumping into some wall (making a huge dent) with a single toe nail and slashing the crap out of some retard while eating a 4 meal course, Jet Li can kick all kung-fu and karate people’s bootehs. It would be interesting to watch Jet Li fight Jackie though.

Barbers = retards?

As usual, a month after a haircut, I need another one. Since I’m not so rich like Marilyn Manson who hopefully wishes to grow his ribs back, I went to some cheap haircut place in Chinatown.

I’ve never liked that place, and the smell and tone of the room just made it worse. Crap was all over the place, dirty couches everywhere, newspaper flying, and even cut hair near the door. This, unsurprisingly, didn’t lighten up my mood.

So after waiting for 20 minutes, I finally got seated on one of the crappy unconfortable chairs there. The first impression of the barber I got was that she was short - unbelieveably short. She almost had to reach for my head when I’m sitting down.

I thought that (hopefully) maybe she has some skills cutting hair.

I was wrong.

This came up in the mirror after the cut - not the entirely black thing, but the shape.

Head + Hair

I swear I knew that the sides were unequal, but the barber just won’t listen and told me to piss off. So now I’m pissed and paranoid that my head is shaped irregularly - I took a picture and compared the two sides.

Comparison of Left side and Right side

The red line is the shape of the left side of my hair. The green is the right. It’s either my eyes are so sore from tracing the image that I can’t see straight, or do the lines almost meet exactly?!

Once again I’m proven wrong by my own curiosity.

Movie Review: A World Without Thieves

I rented it from some cheap chinese store for a dollar and watched this movie at 10:30 last night. I have to say, this movie is absolutely amazing. If you haven’t seen this movie yet, please don’t read this review - it will ruin one of your best experiences other than you know what.

Spoilers Inside!!

Less Workload

I just took the physics provincial this Wednesday. Screw English and its stupid spelling of the third day of the week. I can’t believe I actually looked that word up.

Also, I consider Monday to be the first day of the week. Why is Sunday usually the first on most calendars? No one starts working on Sunday or anything. The last day of the week doesn’t represent anything that’s the beginning of something. I guess they just want to make those calendars colourful by having two coloured columns on either sides of the grids.

From now on, I’m officially off the case of Math (finished in the summer) and Physics. Only have Chem, Calculus and English to go!

English EHH

Macbeth and his retarded friend Banquo

What do you think of that? It’s supposed to be Macbeth and Banquo walking together after seeing some supernatural beings telling them that one of them is gonna die miserably.

For an English analysis assignment, this shouldn’t be hard eh? BS my way through the entire 2 pages that are required, and BS some more when I’m doing the presentation. Is that what it’s supposed to be? Seems kind of boring to do it that way. And marks will come back to bite me teh you know what.

Speaking of which, some guy was streaking on the UBC campus today! First time ever seeing a real guy streaking - not that I’ve seen other naked things running around elsewhere. But surely it was funny. Everyone stopped walking and stared and laughed at the naked guy. Funny how everyone knows he’s going to get in trouble for showing explicit things on public ground, and no one stopped him or anything. I even talked to him before took off all his belongings - his face was painted in black and stuff so no one could recognize him. My camera cellphone was out and ready too, but I guess I’m still a guy who’s not very interested in other guys - I didn’t take the picture =(.

What does it take for you to streak? For me, some cash and a bottle of (preferably diet) coke so I won’t look like a pig when running around.
