"Long ago the Dark Knight Sparda rebelled against the dark emperor and waged a one-man war to save humanity. Thousands of years later, a religious organization worships this renowned savior and has taken it upon themselves to rid the world of all evil. Residing in Fortuna, this organization is known as the "Order of the Sword," and is made up of an elite group of "Holy Knights." One day a young knight named Nero witnesses Sparda’s legendary son Dante slaughter his fellow warriors. Has the renowned devil hunter turned his back on mankind? What does this encounter mean for these two individuals?
In Devil May Cry 4, players control the formidable Nero who comes to grips with his newly found power as his beliefs and allegiance are tested. Continuing the legacy of fast paced action synonymous with the series, Devil May Cry 4 pushes the envelope of excellence even further with the inclusion of a new combat system that incorporates Nero’s "Devil Bringer." This new feature has players delivering overwhelming damage to enemies with non-stop combos, while gaining new power for Nero’s right arm. With the PlayStation 3 system's advanced graphical capabilities, high definition visuals and intricate detail come to life as players explore new and exotic locales. Amazing visual effects and dynamic action coupled with a complex storyline, provides the very cool, slick and stylish attitude that only a Devil May Cry game can deliver." (IGN.com)
Not only will it be out on the Playstaion 3, it'll be out on Xbox 360 and PC as well. Isn't that like totally awesome? Damn it, I can't wait to get my paw on to that sexy red coated half demon. He-is-the-sexiest-ever I'm telling you. And just so you know, I'm getting a tattoo of him next year. Call me crazy, but I don't care just exactly what you beautiful party people think, the Diva IS going to pay tribute to the best action game ever!

According to Jeff Haynes, Christmas came early to them. "DMC 4 will present two separate difficulty levels for players to test their skills with. For newcomers to the series, the Human setting should offer a challenge but help ease players into monster killing. For veterans of the franchise, however, the Devil Hunter setting should present more than enough of a challenge to your abilities.
Like previous Devil May Cry titles, Nero is judged at the end of each mission on how quickly he completes a level, along with how many orbs he collects. Another factor that plays into the evaluation is how many stylish points he receives in battle, based on how long he can keep up his combo string. Ranging from D to SSS, Nero can gain a larger bonus if he mixes up his strikes and avoids taking damage. Taunts also help extend the combo meter, making it easier for players to acquire larger point bonuses.Nero appears to have a number of gambling terms attached to his attacks. With strikes known as the High Roller, Roulette Spin, Split and Double Down, we're not sure if those are creative names for his attacks, or if these gambling moves are indicative of his character.Like previous Devil May Cry games, Nero will find himself sealed into specific areas (tinged with red energy) that he'll have to fight through or break the seal of a puzzle (formed of blue energy) before he can progress forward. Some of these puzzles are straightforward, tasking you with figuring out the solution that's immediately in front of you, while others require items that bestow new powers on Nero."
As you can see from the above pictures, I've just wrapped and dumped the presents everywhere! Actually, I've done the boxes ages ago, just the wrapping ones and that's why this year all my presents sucks. I've got more people to give at my new workplace that's why :(
And my poor friend in Europe has to get his gift late again, as his last Christmas presents and birthdays... all late. No fear! it's by Fedex this time so it won't be as long as the bloody post!
As a avid gamer of Devil May Cry, I've only just started collecting the figurines. I guess I never had the money before to finance such a hobby before... (not that I'm filthy rich now!!) but I'm starting and I've got 1 set from the DMC 1 and yet another from DMC 3 by Revoltech, which should be on the way in from Hong Kong soon.
Exclusive Japanese K-T Figure Collection Devil May Cry by Takare
Product Description
The concept of "Revoltech Join" (or simply "REVOLTECH") is an innovative joint system that allows this action figure to demonstrate any kind of dynamic and realistic pose unlike any other PVC action figure! It features a new ratchet type (click) joint that will not only provide hyper posability but allow the figure to hold an action pose indefinitely.
"Dante" is the main character of the video game "Devil May Cry III" created and published by Capcom. The figure is 6" tall and comes with a custom base for display. "Revoltech Devil May Cry III - Dante" has fourteen articulation points and comes equipped with one interchangeable head, two hand guns (named "Ebony and Ivory"), a sword (named "Rebellion"), a double-barreled sawn-off shot gun and an electric guitar (named "Nevan").
I've been wanting a fairy tattoo for ages but i never could find someone eager enough to do ti for me and since Kirby from utopia tattoos offered to do a cover up of an old tribal, I leaped at the chance!
The last time I was there, cousin Jamie did a rose with 'la vie en rose' inscribed below, will post a picture as soon as I see her online. I waited for 2 weeks for this fairy!!! How exciting! And what with my workload now, I'm pooped, I need a reward for it... bring on the pain man.
Debra, wife of Kirby and ex Versace colleague just gave birth to their first princess. I saw the pictures, how darling she is, all babies are, I managed to get a nice little dress from Mothercare for baby Kady just b4 my session.
Well anyway Kirby and I started about 3 or 4pm, (nobody could remember exactly what time). Now let me entertain you with the subsequent 5 -6hr pain. We finished the wings, outline and hair. It. Was. A. Killer. I. Nearly. Died.
Now I remember why the little tiger on the thigh was the most painful one. It started out fine but I couldn't help twitching and jerking like a squirrel on weed when I felt the pinpoint of the needle on my back. Wow! To think I lasted that long. After a while it got numb and was fine, till we stopped for a break... then the pain was double.
Kirby had sprayed this numbing thing on my back, an alternative for alcohol which he said will be a monster for me and I'll be hopping. Well, I still hopped, it was like suffering a bad sunburn and bathing with hot water after that. The only thing that I had a problem with, was her face cos I. If you look closely, she's got a flat nose. But it's really hard to say cos the whole right side of my back is sore and swollen now, it just may be ok after it heals. On the whole I love her and the nose isn't something that can't be fixed. All she needs is a nose job! Or just cover with hair, her lovely flaming red hair that I chose cos I think redheads are super sexy! I'm now deciding on the colour of her dress. What do you think? I though pale blue goes really well with red hair, or green.... I've got till the 8th December to think! Then it will be another 2 -3 hrs of 'sunburn'!!
Now I just have to worry about covering it up and not letting my parents see it!
It's always a brilliant dinner with these gorgeous girls when we have the time to meet. The 5 Queens. You have the Magical Queen, Beauty Queen, Brilliant Queen, Gadget Queen and the Jesting Queen! You'll have to guess which I am. Not very hard if you know the girls and me ;).
Megadeth was totally cool but too bad I didn't manage to get any nice photos cos I was too busy jumping and yelling. Same with Black Sabbath. Or rather I would say Dio... they didn't play any Black Sabbath music.
The crowd was wilder at Black Sabbath though, I've never seen death metal so stoned but on the whole Megadeth really rocked.... OOH, and there was this couple that totally annoyed me.. the woman kept dancing left right left right left right....I wanted to tell her to get out of my sight! She was dancing really fast and though she was short, she was in my perpetual vision...bloody skinny assed woman!
Here's some photos, see the rest @ flickr. I'm too lazy to wait for the 100 plus pics to download..
Jonathan and I @ Ed's bday bbq
Makes a nice change from cake doesn't it?
Megadeth!
Black Sabbath! Me, Andry, Mel and Shima who just made it into the picture!
I overspent today buying clothes for my new job.. Guess I was over zealous but the harm is done already. I met up with a couple for friends to watch Balls of Fury after that. So after a whole day of shopping and walking, my feet hurt like a monkey's ass on fire so I was so ready to sit down and relax that's when Eddy socked a surprise right into my face. His new car. A Nissan S15 Sylvia in purple. My reaction wasn't as ecstatic cos I have bad experiences with fast cars... I get motion sickness. Not because it's too fast, but it's too low. Gosh my tummy... But anyway, the engine was making funny noises so he stopped the car to take a look and after that, click, the damned thing wouldn't start. I insisted we push start it, so in my stilettos I pusssshed the car down 2 slopes and round the car park just to try to push start it. In the end, the tow driver and Ed and I had to push it down to the bottom cos it was way too low to tow it out. I was so thirsty and tired. From then on I named the car, Brinjal/ eggplant cos I hate it.

It's free standing, so each for his/her own. May the best guy be at the front.. See you there!
Ahahaha! Check out some fun videos if you're really bored. I am! Besides that, if you're a fan of fiction, here's some fan fiction. I read some real funny ones. Quite good some of them.
My father really wanted a photo for remembrance. You understand right... esp the Chinese. Well, since he wanted it.. we went for them studio photos.. Not very flattering as you can see.. oh and ignore the 'sample' stamp... they ALL have it.
Great.. So now I've got my degree... so what? Everyone expected me to get one? Albeit from a local University.. At least I've got something now... and a distinction... But what then? I got a degree cos I wanted to and not because anyone forced me.. My diploma suffered such humiliation taking the bombardment of C's. At least I have a better looking transcript now and it's really thanks to my group mates Ning, Zann Mabel and Natasha cos without them I guess I'll get really bad grades.
We spent 16 days in beautiful NZ this July- August! It was like super awesome, filled with adventures and fun and animals! We took the motorhome again as it'll cut costs and it's very convenient.
Kaikoura and whale watching. Kaikoura (pronounced as kai-ko-ta, if you say it as kai-kou-ra, it means 'I like to eat bird feathers') is known for their fresh seafood, especially the crayfish which costs about NZ$45 for a whole crayfish and served cold with mayo and chips. One can find that Kaikoura is home to a number of wildlife, 'Kaikoura's seas are alive with an abundance of wildlife with the giant Sperm Whale, the playful Dusky Dolphins, sleepy Fur Seals, sharks, fish, albatross and other bird life.' The National Geographic team have also been trying to find a live Giant Squid after one was washed up dead on the shore years ago. Read about their expedition.
We had been told by staffers at Whale Watchers that if you are prone to sea sickness, to sit at the back, but if u like the excitement of the choppy waters, in the front. Of course we sat in the front! 2nd row.. right next to 'Justin Timberlake' (check out Kaikoura photos for him). Smart... At first it was cool you know, like flying over the water cos it's so choppy? But the captain needed to stop to check for locations of whales and by the time the boat stopped for the 3rd time, I was turning green and totally disorientated from the lurching side to side. At that time, it was only 15 mins into the 2 1/2 hr whale watching tour! Eddy and Justin were quickening their breathing and finally, Justin had to change seats with a middle aged man behind, while Ed sort of half sat with his leg on the chair, back straight up like a poker was up his ass. We managed to catch sight of 4 Blue Whales that afternoon. Beautiful creatures they are..
If you go to Kaikoura, make sure you look out for a roadside Kaikoura BBQ Seafood stall recommended by Lonely Planet. It is ABSOLUTELY something not to be missed! The seafood chowder can bring even the toughest warrior down to his knees!
We drove down to take a look at Mt Lyford on our way to Hanmer Springs, which I kept pronouncing as 'Malfloy' hahaha! It's the biggest Alpine Resort with numerous log cabins scattered and the road isn't that treacherous to go up, unlike Hanmer Springs last year >:( . But too bad, it uses tow ropes and looked really boring. Not many people there.
Hanmer Springs was exactly as we remembered it to be. We finally took a dip in the Hot Springsand boy was it HOT, until you get up to go to another pool... brrr. Storm the dog fromPines, the site we camped in was still there. So remember if you'er going there bring your bikini and bog shorts. Hell you can even wear your sweater and jump in if you're really scared of the cold! That's what we saw a bunch of China national students wearing in the pools.
Azlan brought 2 of his 4 kids for a one night stay at Hanmer and boy were they excited! Speaking of excited, I was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows in the motorhome when I saw a streak of grey right under the cupboards! A small mouse! I was stupefied. How did it get in? So I checked everywhere, under the sofa, under the cupboards... no holes. I yelled at Ed, who was sleeping on the top bunk that there was a mouse inside and we laid an ambush for it. I even managed to get a photo of it sprinting towards the drivers side where it disappeared under the floorboards. We never intended to kill it, just to get it out in case it started to bite everything. Eventually, we allowed it to stay with us. We had to, there wasn't a way we could move faster that it. And it was rather cute. So we just left bread on the floor so it wouldn't bite anything out of desperation.
Check out when you're there:
Hanmer Adventures offers Quad bike trips, horse treks , scenic flights, rental of skis and more.
Hot Tracks a heavy duty specially designed Swedish military vehicles incredible in all terrain ability.
Thrillseekers for bungee jumping, jetboat rides and all sorts of fun adventure activities.
After Hanmer Springs, it's straight to Methven and Ed's favourite activity, snowboarding, at New Zealand's premier ski fields, Mt Hutt. We met a resident dog named Possum at the campervan site, a fierce looking thing but really a darling girl.
Go for Hasslefree Lord of the Rings tours. We had a young handsome guide named Glenn bring us on the trip. We were given trivia questions and watched a hilarious interview.
We were to head to Edoras home to the Rohans. We were also served sandwiches and juice and champagne for lunch with a glorious view of snow tipped mountains and crisp air. We were told that the wind was so strong that it blew Orlando Blooms fake nails away. He was really upset. However, Director, Peter Jackson reassured everyone that everything was cool and to keep up the good work despite the strong winds. He was telling everyone to keep calm, till the wind blew his glasses off! And we heard how Viggo Mortensen got selected out of everyone else as well as who the other shortlisted actors where. You wanna know? Then go for the Lord of the Rings Edoras tour at Hasslefree!
If you don't know, my parents are unaware that I went for this holiday or that one last year, with Eddy. And I intend to keep it that way so all you people zip ok? Anyways, the parents wanted photos... and I told them I was going on a tour, so where the hell am I going to find photos?! Easy... just take candid shots of anybody Asian! Coincidently, I met a classmate from Capoeira taking the same flight, however heading to Adelaide instead. Thank god for her if not I'd be a standing sucker waiting for Ed, who came at 7 pm while the flight was 7:50pm and I was there since 6pm.
I didn't snowboard this year cos we only managed to go up the mountain once due to strong winds so I'm not gonna talk about it. All I did was to sit there and play PSP while everyone was zooming by.
There was this one point of the trip that I really got mad at Ed. Actually a few times... make it more than a few... Christ! To tell you about one.. ok this incident really made me want to kick him for being so silly. He wanted some mangoes and let me tell you, the mangoes there are are sour and hard unlike the ones you find in Singapore, it's quite nice actually cos we eat it cold. Well, since the air there is cold, it was unnecessary to put drinks or fruits in the fridge. People just leave them beside the window to keep them fresh. So this smarty pants insisted on putting 2 mangoes into the fridge despite my complaints. The next day, he wanted to have some to compliment his dinner and guess what? Them mangoes were FROZEN! Hahahaha! What a goose! He ended up having to suck on them like popsicles! In the end, he put a couple into the top cupboard because it was warm there due to the lights fixed there. I told him that it was silly and they would be squishy later, but as usual he chose to do ti HIS way and ignore me. As usual... What is it with men and taking some advice or listening to the ladies? I'm sure you won't suffer from erectile dysfunction after listening, nor will you turn into a pansy. They really ended up squishy after only half an hour. Grrrrr...What a waste of 2 nice fruits and they weren't exactly 2 for a penny. I don't even want to go into how many times I was mad at him for doing something that I wish he didn't. I think my tongue had rigor mortis from being forced keep still. Don't get me wrong, he's a dear, but he does get on my nerves.
Despite all my nerves, I had fun though, if it's one thing, Ed's a great traveling partner and I know I'll never go hungry if he's around. If there's anything better than a kind guy, it's a guy who can cook ;).
I had my beef pies and lots of hokey pokey ice cream and even had fish head curry, murtabak and nasi goreng at a friend's place. And I did love all the dogs we saw, Storm from Hanmer Springs, Possum from Methven and Dusty, who's Azlan's new guard dog for his totally awesome new pad and don't forget the resident Mallard ducks at Kaikoura!
When I say "attack" I really meant it. My dad suffered a heart attack this morning and I just can't help it but I HAD to tell everyone the details...
9 am: My father told me thru my closed door that he wasn't well and I was naturally asleep. But that was till I heard him say the words "chest pain". Phowr, I jumped up and pulled on my clothes and rushed to the door and there he was clutching his chest complaining of pain. I panicked and he insisted on waiting for mum to go to work first before calling her. then he proceeded to go and clean out the bird cage despite me telling him to leave it to me. Being him, he refused cos I wouldn't do a good job so I let him be.
10am: It got a bit worse as the aspirin wore off and I urged him to go bathe. I had already bathed by then and I saw him sweeping!! Can you believe it! SWEEPING! I nearly manhandled him to the bathroom and he told me he needed to read the papers and clear his bowels first... Christ!! A heart attack and he still dwaddles! In fact, he took so much time that I could sweep the house AND put on my make-up... The best part comes... While I was rushing him to get out of the house this amazing conversation took place in the flurry of panic and urgency.
Dad: I got to wear my shoes
Me: Ok, then faster wear them.. the taxi is waiting already, don't waste time cos it may get really bad.
D: (wears socks with face scrunched up in pain) Haiyah wait, I got to water the plants....
M: (totally stupefied) !! Water the plants! No need lah! At this time, are you mad!?
D: No, they were playing mahjong last night so I didn't water them. The plant will die.
M: Huh!? Ok okok, I'll water them now, you go quickly go and wear your shoes!
I rushed to water the plants in the balcony. While I was splashing around madly Mr. Han walked out with his bloody socks!
D: Let me water them! You're too short you can't reach! ( then he grabbed then watering can from me and proceeded to slowly water them bloody plants in the f**king balcony!! While having a heart attack!!! I was so so mad!)
11am: I called for a taxi to rush us to the Mount Elizabeth hospital to see a doctor. By then he was in greater pain and I was mad at myself for not calling an ambulance. We met my mum there and managed to see the doctor and get referred to Singapore General Hospital.
4pm: He's better now that they did the ballooning and he's in ICU resting and asking me to bring his glasses and medication when I popped by later in the night. And don't forget to feed the birds and the fish and to bring Jacky out for a while.. And don't forget the glasses and other stuff...
This year the quad bike trip was better than the last. You can find this place within the town. Hanmer Adventure. We had Dave as a guide and Canadian, Ryan, join us as well. this trip is definitely worth the money for all 2 hours.
Ed and me.
Ryan from Canada, who took a one year break from work to travel.
At least this time we were provided better defense against the mud and water!
I knew it was a candid picture >:(
Space Raider
Astronauts conquering the planet??
