1. DRAGONBALL: YO! THE RETURN OF SON GOKU AND FRIENDS!!

Dragon Ball: Yo! The Return of Son Goku and Friends!! is a Dragon Ball animated film that premiered at the Jump Super Anime Tour in September 2008. It is the first animated Dragon Ball feature in eleven years, following the tenth anniversary film Dragon Ball: The Path to Power. I just found out this episode recently.

PLOT

The plot for this short-film actually follows up the previous last episode of Dragonball GT where Son Goku and his friends defeated Majin Buu.

Two years after the defeat of Majin Buu in the main Dragon Ball series, Hercule finally finishes construction on his brand new hotel. Feeling guilty that the hotel is in honor of what the majority of Earth believes to be his defeat of Buu, he invites all of the Z Fighters and their families to a banquet. Shortly after dinner two Saiyan Spaceships land just outside of town, and a mysterious Saiyan and his wife confronts the Z-Fighters at the hotel. They are revealed to be Vegeta's younger brother, Tarble, who had been deemed too weak to fight in the past and thus had been sent to a distant star before the destruction of Planet Vegeta, and his wife Gure. He asks his brother for help in dealing with Abo and Cado, soldiers who are remnants of Frieza's army (even having competed with the Ginyu Force), who are causing havoc on his planet.

I prefer to download the videos part-by-part in Youtube because somehow the loading there is much faster. The streaming in JUMPLAND browser was very slow for me. Here's the videos from Youtube:

A LIVE-ACTION MOVIE!! Can you actually believe that?!? Also the producer is Stephen Chow! That really make me so eager to watch the movie. Too bad it's still long time ahead before the movie is released. Nevermind, I will use the extra time to play the upcoming Sims3. I have watched the trailer and it looks like....MATRIX/ X-MEN/ HEROES?!?( I think Heroes is much better). It has so many elements of "Amokau-ish" and the japanese elements in it is really gone. The starting of the trailer looks like a scene from Heroes too. Actually, I don't even know how to explain it but what can we expect since all the characters are from Western countries. Or is it....??

TRAILER

CHARACTERS

LOL! Did you notice Chow-Yun-Fatt acting as Master Roshi, the totally pervert guy in this series? Not to mention Master Roshi is a great fighter & teacher. But, sometimes I still can't believe. The international actor from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon/(Captain Sao Feng from Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End) is acting in this first ever made live-action Dragonball movie. For me, it's so hard to believe. Oh ya, about the Piccolo's head see it yourself in the screenshots below.

THEME SONG

JapaneseToday reports Ayumi Hamasaki is the singer for the movie's theme song "Rule". Hamasaki will sing the song in Japanese and it will be used in every local version of the film in more than 60 countries. In an official comment, Hamasaki said, “I hope both old and new fans of ‘Dragonball’ throughout the world will enjoy the film.”

1. Stressed Out
Recently, I got stressed out because holiday is ending FAST! After holiday, it's "children life" no more, things getting pretty serious. I will have to study XXXtra hard to pass my SPM. I will have to really start thinking what I want to do in the future. After exam, I will have to find a job to continue living in this world. Actually, I was suppose to find a job during this long holiday, but I wasn't really ready for it ("ayam-ed" out). The thing is I still need to face the world no matter what. Ain't that part of my "Blogotto"--blog's motto--?!?

2. Pray My Grandfather - 14 Dec
Last Sunday, I went to pray my grandfather at town. So far, the day that I woke up the earliest was on that day, 9.30am. So shocked to see so many people on the road although it was so early at that time. It's kinda weird because I have not seen before this grandfather in real life. He passed away before I was born. I heard stories from my mother that my grandfather was a fierce and a strict man. He wore spectacles. When I first see a pic of him at the crematorium, I just couldn't stop imagining that he might just be like PhuaChuKang's dad. Strict, wearing specs, fierce & most probably my grandfather walk as straight as PCK's dad too.

3. Mom's Birthday
Coincidentally, my mom's birthday fell on that same Sunday. After coming back from town, I just can't stand being conscious anymore because I WAS TOO SLEEPY!!!! So, I slept from 2.30pm-5.30pm. Then, my father told me that my brother's wife brought a cake for my mom while I was asleep. My father was like kept praising the cake SO beautiful and insist me to have look at it in the fridge. I know my father's character. He just wanna eat the cake.

Brother ordered a Domino's pizza as a "side dish". As my present for my mom---help her to eat the cake----my help was not needed to finish the pizza because there was some EXTRA help(s) from my brother & dad.

It's been 3 weeks since I last updated my blog. Well, not much did happen. But, there are few things that I wanna write about:

1) My PC
It broke down twice in a period of about 2/3 weeks time. I know I did install some stupid DVD burner software that caused the first breakdown. About the second computer crash, I'm not sure about it. It happened 2 days ago. I don't think any new installing caused the crash. So, be careful for those who loves installing new stuffs in their computer like me. I'm just glad my brother did backup-ed my hard drive using the Acronis True Image. He did all the backup-ing for the two breakdown although I really wanted to learn to do it myself.

2) New HP
My brother gave me his old handphone that is very bulky and heavy, but it looks cool for me. This Nokia 6680 has these features that I copied from this website:




* Two integrated cameras: 1.3 megapixel and VGA
* High-speed connections with 3G and EDGE
* Two-way video call capability for face-to-face communication
* Video sharing capability
* Nokia XpressPrint printing solution including PictBridge direct printing
* Fast, convenient email access
* High-resolution, 262,144-color display
* Music player with stereo audio

In fact, I wasn't really plan to use the phone. First of all, I don't really use hp to phone my friends nor to SMS them (I'm the worst SMSer ever). Even, my father SMSes more than me. Here's actually what I planned. I want to sell off my MP3 and this handphone. So that I can upgrade my graphic card(64MB) to a better 256MB and play more nice games on my old PC.
I really don't know about all these hardware computer thing. This means I need my brother help again and most probably need his permissions to sell both brother-bought-MP3&handphone.

I know I could keep this handphone for future use. But, for now I'm not really into hp. Plus, I might have to buy a laptop later for my college/university usage. That's when I'm gonna "pek-tai" this stone-age computer. I should be glad actually to own this computer. I got it when I moved to this new house in late 2005. Back at my old house, I do have an even older (ice-age) computer that isn't connected to the internet. I just use it to play some BeeGees's song. So, the young generations should be thankful to have internet-connected computers.

Right now, I'm not sure what to do. Whether to sell the handphone+MP3 since somebody interested to buy my MP3(right, Dianne...?) or just keep using my old graphic card and continuing playing the getting-boring Sims 2?!?

3) Quitted Maple
At last, I was able to quit Maplestory after playing for erhm...not close to even 5 months... I just can't stand doing those stupid PQ that brings us no benefit in learning knowledge. My parents nowadays said I wasted a lot of time playing but they didn't notice that I learnt a lot of new things by just playing games. For example;

Anyone who wants to watch Youtube videos directly from the site(with WIFI) in their PSP>

Excited...
Whoa! Damn happy now that I am able to play online Youtube videos directly from that site. Of course I can visit Youtube from my PC, but this is different. I always would like to watch videos/surf the net whenever I'm not in front of my PC. Now, I am able to do just that. But, I have to go to "great" length just to get it done.

PSPTube...
First, I just surf the net for information whether any people can watch Youtube videos from their PSP. Then, I learnt about this program/software created by a Japanese developer, SofiyaCat (weird nick). It's called as PSPTube. Since you can't watch videos from Youtube because it only supports Flash 9 while your PSP only has Flash 6/7. This PSPTube enables you those videos from sites like Youtube, DailyMotion, Youku, Stage6, and so on. I can't explain about how it can do that because I am not a tech geek and I don't understand all those processes. I just know how to install it just as being instructed in the website.

Super PSPTube...
However, I did all the copying thing into my PSP but it did not work. I was able to get to the result page of Youtube but unable to get the videos playing. So, I went to search internet for more information. All I got were those forums full of titles like "PSPTube HELP!, My PSPTube not working" and bla...bla... They didn't really say how to fixed all those problems. Just when I was to give up, I found this site > Super PSPTube. It's awesome because this Super PSPTube supports more sites (though I don't really mind what sites they support as Youtube is the greatest among all). So, I decided to give this application a try.
I downloaded it and copy into my PSP. When I saw the wifi green light keeps blinking and that's when I know the video actually is buffering. Then, I saw the video playing! Man, I'm like a happy child with no words to describe that feeling....

*LOL! In this process of installing and searching, I found out that sites like RedTube and PornTube do exist. I guess I don't have to explain what videos they have. Don't mistaken me happy because I can watch blue films in my PSP now. I'm happy because I can watch MV whenever I want*

Cancelled, for me...
Most probably, I won't be going to Dianne's house for the pre-planned activity, kayaking. My mom doesn't let me. Among the reasons she gave:

a) Scared got tsunami( toh huit )

b) Chinese New Year coming. That means the season of "rough wind" is coming near and the sea is rough too. Actually, I do experience tough winds nowadays in my home. As you know, my house faces near the sea, so I don't really need to switch on my living room fan. That is also why I don't switch on my fan when I'm sleeping in my room. (love saving energy)

c) This is of course the main reason: I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SWIM!

Not knowing this essential skill...
Actually, I do want to go for the kayaking. They look fun in TV. My friends always said I don't like doing such stuffs. You guys should know I like nature activities because I am so loyal to my nature. I sure support my friend(THE NATURE)'s activities. Just sometimes I don't have the mood to do so, instead prefer sleeping or maybe facing my "white box". Too bad, I don't know how to swim or else I would be joining you guys too. I know I can still go and have fun in other ways or I could even talk to my mother. When I think back, I got scared of the fact if I were to drown. I just watched "Poseidon" on Astro the other day. Bloated-stomach dead bodies! NO way I am gonna be like one of them. (Trying to find some wood to touch).

It's just weird that I don't know how to swim eventhough there's a swimming pool at my flat area. I can just simply ask my father for FREE swimming lessons. But, I didn't because I am lazy to learn that and I have no that determination to learn. I think it's gonna be dangerous to let an old man to teach you how to swim. I might save my dad instead. If one day Penang is to sink, I might just probably float on a wood and swim to Prai. Or maybe I can sit on my uncle's fishing boat. Vroom! Vroom! Off to our mainland! Look, it's not that bad afterall for not knowing how to swim. If you wanna a more secured way, buy a robot that can transforms into a hovercraft/ferry in the future. (I think in the JamesBond movies, such "canggih" technology already existed for long, long time ago> Anyway, my brother doesn't even know how to swim either.

Personal Messages:
To Ashley: Sorry, cannot teman you go. But, don't come up my house and start to threaten/force me to go pula. You know I don't know any martial-art if you try to knock me down.
To Dianne: Too bad, too bad. I will just have to pass you the pendrive next year. Don't worry, it's gonna be "alright" for your pendrive to be in my HAND!
