wait... no i didnt mean it that way...
so another weeks passed, lotsa stuff going on. quick round up before we get to the matter at hand.
drinks with friends on friday at the marina mandarin. very cool change of pace, very refreshing. i wouldnt mind going back for another round. and i got to try a black russian, which i was interested in ever since seeing the big lebowski. jeff bridges should be a chivas girl, seriously.
on sunday, went to the gym and later to watch clash of the titans with jerome. for a movie that took thirty years to remake, its an epic fail. twisted storyline, laughable scenes and atrocious, absolutely vomit-inducing acting. especially by sam worthington. on the flipside, saw my old polo captain xi zheng. nice meeting him again, brings back memories.
yesterday i went to nus to get my physical done. i have to say, the administration there needs a serious revamp. i got there at one thirty and only left at four. it was crazy, i thought the whole thing would be over quick when i got past the vision check, urine screening and x rays in a heartbeat.
then they made me wait for close to an hour and a half just to see a doctor. THERES ONLY SO LONG I CAN SIT ON A CHAIR AND TWIDDLE MY THUMBS BEFORE GETTING WORKED UP. what made it even MORE infuriating was that i saw people who had come in after me actually getting their checkup done BEFORE me. i walked over to the counter to vent MAH RAGE when all of a sudden DING!
my number came up for room two. i was like ok... whatever lets just get this done and go. the checkup took a whole of, i kid you not, four minutes. one and a half hours for a four minute checkup. -_-
anyway.
id like to highlight some good stuff to watch on youtube! theres plenty of videos and stuff, but here are my favorite channels and most enjoyed series. good for people with, i dunno, generic iphones and what not to watch if they ever get bored transiting from one place to another. using public transport of course, not wise to watch and drive.
this is nevakes channel. he posts mostly starcraft matches, but what really caught my eye recently was the korean shows he subbed in english. one of them has a member of a popular idol group over there trying to become a progamer(hyungjoon becomes a progamer), and the other has an old timer coming out of retirement to try his hand at progaming once more(nal_ra old boy).

heres one i found just a couple of days ago called the guild. its a hilarious fictional depiction of a group of misfits playing an mmorpg, showing how they interact with each other and deal with unlikely scenarios in real life. for example, one scene has an indian gamer fighting a chinese stuntman to defend his honour.

oh as an avid l4d2 player, i was pleasantly surprised when i came across this poster. this guy and his group of motley friends made super funny videos, but to make more sense of it try starting from the beginning. he puts up other game videos too, but really the l4d2 ones really stand out. always good for a quick chuckle.

alright finally, this is the young turks. its a channel focused on reporting the news(but also sometimes does interviews) in america, but adds personal insight and a voice for public opinion such that it entertains and informs at the same time. very useful to learn not only about stuff going on in congress(such as deeper understanding about health reform) but also about other matters in america making headlines. for example, they did a piece on the cheerleader who claimed that a flu vaccine caused her to develop a severe psychological disorder, but later seemed to "miraculously" recover. interesting stuff.
