For a very long time, i did not believe in the existence of a god. But now i do.
Quote something from the Initial D movie: "God is also human, but he can do something that other humans cannot do."
Recently, i got hooked to watching Starcraft replays. I was quite an avid SC player last time, so after reading Nic's post i went to check out how good the Koreans really are. And boy was i not disappointed. This guy.. Slayer-Boxer, or Boxer in short, is like the most amazing SC player i've ever seen. In terms of tactics, trickery, micromanagement, he comes out tops. And after watching a vid from his first person perspective, u will understand why:
Check out how fast his mouse moves! He reportedly performs 320 actions per minute, which is like 5 actions per second? Madness. And the bloody thing is, he looks nowhere close to a geek. Like Sichao says, "He looks like he just jumped out of a Korean drama serial"
God number 2: Louis showed me this video about a week ago. It totally changed my perspective of origami.
Now tell me, who in the world gave this guy the idea to fold a phoenix this way? Complete with realistic claws, feathers and beak?!?! Since it takes 10 hours to fold this bird, imagine the amount of time used in conceptualizing it? If this doesnt convince you, watch the nxt vid. Watch it till the end. Trust me. Your jaws will drop.
These people have reached a level where it is unsurpassable by anyone at all. It's not even like in a league of their own. They are like all alone at the top. Like the Chinese saying goes, "Wu di shi ji mo de" (Invincibility leads to loneliness)
I am listening to In Flames (Power Metal + Death vocals), Nightwish (Power Metal + Opera vocals) and JJ Lin (Chinese Pop) lately. In Flames is pretty interesting, as i have yet to hear a band like this. Very melodic guitar lines + some prog influences + death vocals. It's very refreshing even though i cannot even catch a single word of what the "singer" is growling about.
Nightwish, a band tt i have heard so much about but yet explored. I would say they have some really strong catchy songs, but the rest of the repertoire suffers alittle from too similar songs. The soprano vocals catches on me, and i was singing in my best opera-tic voice the whole day, annoying Shirui and my mom a hell lot. Not too much great solos though.
JJ Lin, mmm how to say. I think he has a great melodic sense. And he doesnt get trapped by the usual Chinese pop sentimental style. The instrumentation of his songs are great too, which is something i shld learn more from.
An interesting question tt popped up during hang: Do those shops tt sell sex toys have an exchange policy? E.G "This vibrator is too big for me, i wanna exchange for a smaller one." :D
Ok i got distracted again. Bye
