Wow.... new chapter 44 for Kuroshitsuji is finally here. Many many thanks to Bleach Asylum for bringing this wonderful manga scanlation to us. So far it is the only group that translates Kuroshitsuji and I am so grateful that they are still around to scanlate more Kuroshitsuji chapters.
In this chapter, there are some cute moments and touching moments. It is so fun to see so many stray cats that are hidden away by Sebastian. Ciel is allergic to cats so Sebastian can't have a pet cat openly in front of him.
Then there's the servants who are missing Sebastian and reminiscing over how they met Sebastian for the first time and they vowed to protect Ciel in place of Sebastian.
Overall this chapter is really cool and meaningful. =D

Anime Watch: Kuroshitsuji II PV
I know this is quite late but I have just come across the new PV for the upcoming season 2 of Kuroshitsuji, which is going to be out in July this year.
There are new characters in the PV that I can't recognise but there seem to be no traces of Ciel and his butler, Sebastian anywhere in the PV.
Oh man, I hope this season will be better than the previous season and I am so curious about the direction for this new season. Is it going to deviate away from the manga or otherwise? Things are not so clear at the moment so all I can do now is to wait.
^.^

Movie Watch: Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
Last night, I managed to watch this movie that I wasn't able to catch while it was screening in the cinemas. Through one of the Apps, I got to watch Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief on my iPhone.
The quality wasn't that bad, considering that the screen of the iPhone is small compared to a cinema screen. The movie wasn't that bad and I enjoyed the humour that peppered throughout the movie. Not to mention that this movie is full of greek myths and I love greek myths. (^o^)/
We follow the story of Percy, son of Poseidon, god of the sea. He gets accused of stealing Zeus' lightning bolt. Zeus demands the return of the bolt within 14 days, on the midnight of summer solstice, failing which a war will be waged upon Earth and Poseidon. Together with Annabeth, daughter of Athena and Grover, his personal protector, Percy gets to go on the journey of his life when he makes his way to hell and Olympus to convince the gods of his innocence.
I love the part where Percy fights with Medusa using the back of a shiny iPhone to avoid staring at her eyes directly. Slapstick humour is gratefully provided in the form of Grover, a satyr or a goat-man. He was initially thought to be a cripple until he revealed his goat legs to Percy in the moment of danger.
The whole movie smells of Harry Potter and that could certainly be attributed to its director, Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter films. The CGI effects are awesome, with real-looking monsters going after Percy to Medusa's hair of snakes.
Plus Persephone totally rocks in this movie with her sharp-tongued dialogue with her hell husband, Hades.
Hades: [yelling] Persephone! What could possibly be taking so long? Don't ignore me!
Persephone: [yells back] Or what? What will you do?
[quietly]
Persephone: I'm already in Hell.
Other humorous quotes include:
Chiron: [from trailer] Use this to defend yourself. It's a powerful weapon.
Percy Jackson: This is a pen.
Chiron: Only use it in times of severe distress.
Percy Jackson: This is a *pen*.
--
Percy Jackson: Oh I wish I could spend all day in the water instead of this place
Grover: Oh like High School without the musical
--
It doesn't hurt that the star of the show, Logan Lerman, looks so handsome.See his pictures below.
Overall the movie is not too bad and the CGI effects should look great in the cinemas. Too bad I can only watch it only on my iPhone but at least I got to watch it. It's better than none. Plus it is apt to know that Hollywood has been chosen to be the gate to the depths of hell while the Empire State Building is chosen to be the gate to Olympus.

Last day of school for this term
Finally the last school day for this term is over and now it's term to prepare for the exams. My two exams will be taken in May and after that, it's holiday time!
I just hope that I can scrape through these exams soon and get promoted to the next term. The faster I complete my modules, the faster I get my degree. Then I can start looking for a new job. I gotta find a human resource job since that's what my degree is majoring in. Heee.... but the HR field in Singapore is not very good and most positions require at least 1 year relevant working experience.
Well I can only hope that my degree can help me secure job, to a certain extent. All right, that's all for school. School's boring, you know. >.<

Apple announces iPhone OS 4.0
Wow... Apple is really going places with its hugely popular product, the iPhone. The latest news from Apple announced that OS 4.0 is going to be released for the iPhone 3GS, third-generation iPod touch and iPad.
This new OS will add one critical function to the iPhone, multitasking. Currently, the iPhone is not able to multitasking and each time a new App is opened, the existing App will be closed. In other words, switching between Apps is not possible right now.
Other touchscreen phones are able to multitask without any hitches, so it's high time that Apple should follow suit in its competitors' footsteps. With multitasking, the iPhone is seriously going to kick some ass.
When the new OS comes, I can switch between my Facebook App and eBuddy App without closing either one of them. This saves me lots of trouble in opening and closing Apps all the time.
Hopefully Apple will continue to put in more attractive and relevant features so that the phone will be a better product that rises above its competitors.

Nice Lunch @ Commonwealth
Today's lunch was really sumptuous and I'll probably will never get another lunch like this again. The place that we went to is quite near to our office building and despite the look of the place, the food was really good. See the pictures below for the dishes that we had ordered for 2 persons.
This lunch is largely thanks to my facility supervisor as she treated me for some reason that was never disclosed. Nonetheless, the cockles were really good and I am already drooling for more. This dish is served cold so the freshness of the cockles is captured in the dish.
The buttered pork ribs is also one of the stall's signature dishes and those powdery substance you see in the picture is actually the butter. Yup, they managed to fry the butter until it turns into powder and it's so delicious.
Overall the lunch was really satisfying and I doubt I get to eat these dishes again. 1 person eating all of these dishes is a bit much, don't you think so?
Still the most I can do is to share these with everyone so if you are interested, pop by Commonwealth Blk 116 to get these babies!
Yum! (^_^)/
Drunken cockles! Yummy !
Buttered pork ribs! Yummy yummy!
Bean sprouts with salted fish! Yummy!
