400

Wow. This would be my 400th post in blogspot.

A great deal of my posts are just pure rubbish with no sense in them at all. But y'know what? When i started my blog in 2004 out of sheer brain-numbing boredom, i wouldn't've expected it to last till today.

Happy 400th Post to inkblot? :D

***
Now, let me show you some Espers of FF12. Quite disappointing, due to the absence of the gorgeous ice-queen Shiva (Pah! They transformed her into a freakin' battleship!), but nevertheless interesting. Take time to marvel at the perfectly symmetrical Esper symbols they created, if u hate reading about FF.

Espers were created by the gods, each with a certain purpose but nearly all of them rebelled against the gods and were defeated and subsequently banished.
Belias, the Gigas. Fire based. Espers are summoned during times of peril to aid you in battle, but Belias didn't seem to help much. Belias is a human-cow hybrid, first of the Espers gained, and probably the weakest. After creation of Belias, the gods immediately considered him a mistake. Not receiving his intended role, he challenged the gods and lost! How very sad indeed.
Mateus, the Corrupt. Ice based. This arthropodal creature is what they replaced Shiva with! Grrargh! Anyway Mateus is a male name and is not the blue chick. He is the black fishy scaley thingy attached to her. Mateus was created to rule and protect those who lived in the underworld but the darkness tainted his heart causing him to become evil and corrupt. Grabbing an Ice Goddess (the blue chick, thank god not Shiva), he used her as a living shield and challenged the Gods. He lost and, along with the Goddess, was banished to Hell. Now this is also sad. Poor goddess.
Adrammelech, the Wroth. Grotesque creature. Thunder based. Though he was made by the gods to quell the fiends that raged in the Otherworld, his immense strength and fearsome visage drew the fiends to his side, and turned him against his creators. Adrammelech led a fiendish horde against the Gods but was defeated.
Cuchulainn, the Impure. Reminds me of Quina Qu from FFIX. Created to swallow all the impurities in the world within himself! The world, however, was more filled with impurity and corruption that even thegods dared imagine, and having swallowed it all, the once beautiful Cuchulainnwas transformed into a hideous thing, a deity of filth, and so did he turn against his creators.
Exodus, the Judge-Sal. Tasked with keeping watch over the world, with the authority to judge the value of all things. As he watched, unseen, unknown, his attachment to the world dwindled until it was as nothing. Fitting that he would desire to make the world, too, as nothing. Yet he fell in the war against the gods, and was thwarted, imprisoned in punishment for his heresy.
Shemhazai, the Whisperer. Yet another hybrid of both horse and woman, wielding utter control over the souls that wander the underworld. Though she once served the gods as a guardian, when Ultima announced her rebellion, Shemhazai went to her, whispering of the gods' hidden weaknesses. She then descended upon the land without leave of the gods, and taught men of destruction and evil. For this was she stricken down and bound.
Hashmal, Bringer of Order. Earth elemental. Set by the gods to wield and manipulate the laws of this world, and with holy power lead manking to order. Desiring to bring order to all things, he joined with Ultima in her battle against the gods. He gave his body to the Thousand-Years War, and when his strength was spent, down in the burning inferno he fell.
Chaos, Walker of the Wheel. Chaos was fashioned by the Gods using sacred crystal. Upon entering the world of man, he was enveloped in the turmoil rampant there. Lost, he died and was reborn countless times, a walker of life's wheel, eventually to rage against the gods that had so fated him.
Famfrit, the Darkening Cloud. Famfrit is the only who didn't rage a war against the gods. Created to resemble a darkly-clouded form, he was broken and sealed within a ward-laced armor which is void of light.
Zalera, the Death Seraph. Originally tasked with the judgin of men upon their deaths, his soul was tainted by the curses of those who raged against the heavens, and seizing one of the gods' servants, a shamaness, as a hostage, he rebelled against his creators.Even now, in defeat, he clutches the shamaness to him in his right arm, and with the aid of her death-wail does he summon the soul of darkness to do his bidding. Once again, another innocent victim snatched as hostage.
Zeromus, the Condemner. Taking the form of a colossal crustacean, he honors the law and condemns criminals. He turns his deep, abiding hatred for those who break the law into living darkness, therein to plunge the guilty in fell judgment. Over time, he came to care less for upholding the law and more for condemnation, and so tainted by hate, he sought to condemn the gods themselves to death. This did he earn the title of "The Condemner", and thus did he fall from grace.
Ultima, the High Seraph. Masterpiece of the Gods, tasked with guiding souls to heaven and aiding in their reincarnation. Called the High Seraph for her angelic wings of glimmering gold, yet it was on wings of deepest black that the tainted angel Ultima rose against the gods. Since her fall, her heart is without light, and impossible to know.
Zodiark, Keeper of Precepts. Strongest of the beings created by the gods, they feared his growth, and so kept him a child. So indomitable is his strength that all things are by him twisted and pressed into oblivion. He alone fashions the laws governing all things, and administers punishment in place of the gods. So is he Keeper of Precepts, and his authority is absolute.

So there. All 13 of them. Copied most of their info from the game guide as i have yet to obtain some of them.

Hairy

So after much drama and heart-wrenching (not to mention cruel) killing-off of characters, the boy who lived, lived escaped the deathly clutches of the wicked Lord Voldemort.

I think my reading experience would've been a pleasant one if i hadn't received news that Tesco and Carrefour were selling Hairy at a considerably lower price of 69.90.

FUCK Tesco and Carrefour.

FUCK the distributors for supplying Tesco and Carrefour. Hmph.




Anyway, a little update after my first week of classes in Monash University Malaysia's New Sunway Campus.
The new campus is fascinating and a damn sight nicer than the old one just across the street.


The cement-gray and beige walls give it a classy and futuristic look. Ha! Finally a building that isn't painted in garish salmon-orange.

Reminds you of a cross between a hotel and a shopping mall, doesn't it?


The library here is a triple-storeyed refrigerator. When you enter through the shiny glass sliding doors, there will be a rush of cold wind whooosh right in your face. Brrr. Freakishly cold. The chill seeps even into the washrooms on each storey (necessity of washrooms on each level unexplained mystery). Book collection here not on par with Sunway College's library i admit, but i suppose it will expand in time. I also came across a small section of DVDs. Hmm.

Library computer lab's computer are new! Y'see this is the plus side of a new campus. New stuff! Vandalism-free. Unfortunately number of computers are limited. Sighs. High demand but low supply. Was scouting around for people to leave and managed to beat a wantan to a seat. Pah.

Anyway the cafeteria is a disaster. Only a pathetic selection of food to choose from, and pathetic amounts of food that last till noon after which none are left for late comers. Oh well. I guess nothing is perfect.

So tell me...


i really need to know...

how long more will it takes?

and then, is that it?

BP factory in Whiting, Indiana

Lately, you must have heard stories about the BP Whiting Refinery which most of you are not quite happy with. But BP has got some information which you might not know. Please allow me to explain it further as BP is only striving to minimise the environmental impact of their actions.

Just recently, the Chicago Tribune ran an article about a BP Factory in Whiting, Indiana and misrepresented some important facts.

BP plans to spent some $3 billion to modernise the plant to create energy security and diversity for the benefits of the people in Indiana. BP will give the assurance that only treated water will be flowed into Lake Michigan within legal limits to ensure that it won't harm the people or the environment.

And for the sake of continuous improvement, the Whiting Refinery voluntarily reduced total suspended solids in its water discharge by 40%. For your peace of mind, the federal, state, local officials, regulators, community and environmental organizations will be working very closely with BP to ensure a proud and promising future e.g. there will be fuel for the people in Midwest and unlimited job opportunities in BP.


For more reports, please see the following websites:

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

300+ avid Harry Potter fans pre ordered the highly-anticipated finale novel from my outlet with the recommended retail price of RM109.90. Customers were happy with the price and placed the RM50 deposit without hesitation as they will be given a free limited edition tee, RM5 voucher and free breakfast for the first 100 who pre ordered the book and 10% off with member card for everyone.

I'd even call up to remind all of them about the launching of the book at 7.01am on Saturday morning (21/7)...

Unexpectedly, on Friday morning (20/7) when i flipped through the newspaper before going out for work... i saw it! A full color page in the first few pages of The Star - Tesco and Carrefour are selling the books for only RM69.90 each!!! I informed my colleagues about the price difference as soon as i stepped into the office. They all started to panicked.

Customers started calling in even before the outlet is opened. My superiors were busy explaining to them over the phone. Some even came to asked to cash refunds. And we received updated memo from the HQ every few minutes.

Finally at about 4pm, we got the internal memo saying that MPH, Popular, Times and Harris bookstores nationwide will withdraw the books off the shelves on Saturday in protest against Tesco and Carrefour's decision to sell the books at almost half the recommended retail price and we will only honoured and sell the books to customers who pre ordered the books before Saturday.


Saturday - 21.07.07

the notice in the outlet


sealed cartons of the books. i didnt managed to even catch a glimpse of the books.


cool eh?! haha.


even the pressmen made their ways into the outlet. interviewing my manager and customers who didnt manage to purchase the books on the day itself.


some customers were pretty upset that they cudnt get any copy from the outlet even when they are willing to fork out RM109.90....

some were frustrated and coolly said they will get the books from ebay and amazon instead...

some said we shudnt do this as we will only be at the losing end...

some were really persistent... they wont leave until they get a copy of the book or until they know where to get them for sure.

... dats the power of Mr Potter.
