More Useless News

I'm in the student lounge because it's where I can leech internet, it's nearly 10pm, because dress code is lifted after 5pm or so and it's quiet. The student lounge is awesome, it has a pool table (RM2.50 per play, but we cheat by blocking the balls from going in. That way we can play 10 rounds with the price of one.), TV with nearly every channel on Astro (Hakaba Kitaro is playing on Animax now), dart boards, a meeting room, things to read (2005 Reader's Digest issues), Ikea furniture and of course wireless which is actually not too bad. Best of all, the seniors leave you alone.



I've been spending the past few nights here, mainly because of internet and it's such a great place to chill. Too bad it blocks BT, otherwise it would be perfect.

I've been so busy with orientation preparation I conpletely forgot about GACC, which I'm 99.9% sure I won't be going. -_- The GACC committee should really consider getting a more accesible location next time. Besides, this Saturday is our Track Trip- another part of our orientation where we need to take public transport to various malls and do stuff based on themes. My group will be going to Berjaya Times Square, which is great because Borders is there. *mangamangamanga :D* Our theme is Autumn in my Heart -_- , and my team suggested we wear orange clothes, which I don't have. Oh well, I'll worry about that later.

We've also been doing quite a bit of First Aid, and there's a theory test on it next Thursday. Some say it's being assessed for real, but I've learnt not to trust what seniors say after I heard the Orientation Committee president was 31, married with two kids, whereas he was a second semester student (or was it third?). At least that's something for us to do (as if we don't have any).

For now, I'm just glad for the wireless, even if there's no BT. :)

Friends -cover

Thought I might as well put this up here. Friends by Stephanie, another acoustic cover.



Man I have such a huge anime backlog.. TT_TT Someone give me Clannad 19, G00 20 at least.

First 3 days

*gasp*

I finally managed to grasp some internet connection!!!!!

Seriously, 4 days with absolutely no connection is HELL. Not to mention I haven't gotten my ID yet so E-labs and libraries etc are still inaccesible. I was bored to death, thank god for the little pool table on the forth floor student lounge. This wireless is not bad, but it doesn't allow BT and I can't get IRC either. They say DDL works but it didn't when I tried it out.

Anyway orientation here is crazy mad. Firstly it spans 2 weeks long and is 'FUN' and we should all 'ENJOY IT FOR IT WILL BE THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE/AT IMU BECAUSE AFTER ORIENTATION YOUR LIFE WILL BE HELL' or so the seniors told us every 5 minutes.

The seniors. Ahhh.
When I was in Primary 1, I was a noob.
When I went to form 1, I was a noob
When I was in form 3 morning session, I was a noob.
When I was in Taylor's, I wasn't really a noob coz everyone else was.
But in IMU, it's like the seniors really go out all the way to make sure you know you're noob. It's hard to explain; it's not really intimidation, they're still friendly (well my OOs at least), but you get the feeling that you know nothing. Like.....a complete utter noob.

Damn I can't wait till we're all settled so I'd stop feeling so noob.

Also, I really need a proper ID so I can use the scanner and scan my timetable, email it to parents so they would stop calling me asking what did I do today/have I finished yet/why not/where are you/how are you/etc.

Anyway the orientation has been 'largely scaled down' as in they don't make you shave all your hair, throw your shirt in the garbage, vibrate on stage or throw eggs and flour at you anymore. Still, there's plenty of let's-discreetly-mock-the-junoirs. Or something like that. These seniors will come, glare at you, make you feel like crap, then your OOs (orientation officer) will tell you those guys are usually very nice, they just want to scare you because they know they can, or because it's the only time they can, and how they (the OOs) went through the same thing.

So for orientation, we have a ton of FUN activities, a murder theme (I. Murdered U.) with clues, FUN ice-breakers (losers will be EMBARRASSED BEYOND BELIEF by TEH DEVIL- so much for no more ragging), 'dress code' where we have dress up as like 7 different cultures (wtf? where to get materials/know-how), a FUN teasure hunt where we need to come up with a name, 2 group cheers, a flag, and an ID. A track something where you take public transport to all the big malls and take pictures. Then there's some FUN sketch thing (act like animal(?)), something about a CD, a FUN variety night where there's more dressing up, dancing and FUN.

Lol srsly? This is too much man. I know the seniors went through a lot of effort etc to organize everything even though their exams are coming up, how our orinetation group people will be our gang/best friends for the next 2.5 years, how they promise over and over again that it's going to be FUN. I know that. I want to enjoy all the FUN activities that you guys spent so much time preparing, but I also want to enjoy it without having someone say 'I TOLD YOU SO' at the end of it, which quite possibly moght happen.

Better go, I have a meeting soon with my orientation team, deciding on the flag design, dress code and whatnot. I thought orientations were supposed to be stress-free. -_- I'm still mulling over how to do my laundry (no machine- hand wash all), it took me 2 hours one way to take public transport to Subang and they expect us to do all that? And I'll get shot for this, but I can't wait till lectures and proper learning begins.

Ja~

I'll be leaving for overseas tomorrow....!!!!!!


....the South China Sea, that is. :(

I think I'm bringing way too many clothes...no thanks to IMU's anal dress code. Meaning no T shirts, jeans and sneakers-- my day-to-day uniform. Guys, how would you like it if you had to wear a freaking tie and collared long sleeve shirt in University, of all places. Bah. >.<

I'll probably have no access to the internet for a few days at least, so no blogging, no surfing, no torrenting, no nothing. :( Well this is a good time as any other to kick to internet addict.

Signing off for now.

Ash Like Snow

Every time I want to record a cover, I end up being frsutrated. The usual complaints on lack of suitable equipment comes to mind, but some people can pull off better covers with lousier tools so I'll keep my trap shut on this one.

Never mind the fact that I use an acoustic for electric parts, or I record using a digital camera, or my camera's batteries are more tsun than Kugimiya Rie's tsundere roles combined, or my computer has the worst speakers on earth and is not dual-core so I can't do any proper video editing. (So much for not complaining) My beef this time is with Youtube. Apparently I'm only allowed to upload not more than 100MB worth of video at a time, that's like less than two minutes worth of footage. But anime songs usually hit four to five minutes, and the end video is usually 200+ MB, sometimes nearly 300MB.

But my wonderful wonderful onii-san has come to save the day again, in the form of MediaCoder, which compresses files a la fansub groups so the file is at least a reasonable size. Suteki ne? But no, there's a problem and a whole afternoon of emails, MSN, IRC and ftp isn't enough to crack it. (All the technology we used for one lil file still makes me lol) Meaning I can't shrink my 292MB video file, meaning I can't get it on the Tube. That's like an hours worth of practice for Ash Like Snow and Friends down he drain. >.<

Bah. I've had it. I recorded the TV size version of Ash Like Snow which is one and a half minutes and a snug 97MB. And so here it is. Aka I've just wasted five minutes of your life with a mindless rant. (It's not my best though, I was already feeling very tulan at the time.)



Now I have a full version, 292MB cover of Stephanie's Friends waiting to be compressed, and an equally large full version of Ash Like Snow. Hopefully I can get all done my tomorrow; I'm leaving on Saturday as it is.

This is stupid. All I wanted to do was embed a lousy video. Keyboards are dangerous under my hands.

I hate you, DarkMirage T_T

..for always making me feel inferior..... ;_; *brawl*

I was just surfing, and DM had the usual G00 bashing post episode summary but this time he signed off telling the whole world that he got a freaking 2310 for his SAT (2400 is the maximum score on the 2400 scale).

Liek, wtf? That's like me getting at least 99.5% for SAM, except SAT is probably double SSABSA's content and difficulty. First IP, then JLPT 1, then Raffles JC, now a mind-blowing SAT score. Not to mention a superior-grade blog, special passes for Comiket from Danny Choo, interviews with famous cosplayers, room full of otaku stuff, and being one of the most respected individuals on the online anime community. Yet DM is around my age (I have reason to think he is actually younger than that.) I haet you, DM. Grrrr.


FYI this is Raffles JC. Previous otaku alumni include tjhan, the once revered figure maniac who went to the dark side after getting a girlfriend. His past (and true) self has not been seen since.

Why can't our government colleges be more lik- oh wait, never mind.

In case you don't know yet, I am so, very, extremely, deeply, amat ter-envious of (smart) Singaporeans, their education system, their facilities etc. Perhaps I'm only seeing the bright side, perhaps it's only the grass being greener again, but hell ever since I rejected that partial ASEAN scholarship I've had this thing for JCs, NUS et al. It's nothing much, just another regret on the list of many.

I wonder what would've happened if DM were a Malaysian in public school and had to go through all the shit we had to go through... Nah, he's the type that would excel no matter what, even he if lived in a war zone or a sampan. Last I heard, he was Mainland Chinese.

I need to stop stalking these guys Damnit DM, you made me emo. x.x

Disclaimer: The above info about the mentioned people may not be 100% accurate. I'm just a lowly stalker after all.

NHK ni Youkoso novel

With a pretty Yoshitoshi ABe illustration for the cover too

I finally finished reading the Welcome to the NHK english novel translation, and felt rather moved by it. Previous review that I had read describe it as a 'dark and funny' novel where one 'doesn't know whether to laugh or cringe' at the acts of the characters. This is because NHK is a novel about the genuine gritty side of the often-misunderstood hikikonori.

Most people would recognize NHK by the manga or anime, but like a lot of anime these days it was based on the novel. As I have neither watched the anime nor read the manga, I can't really delve into comparisons. But the novel was not really what I expected.

With shows like Genshiken and Densha Otoko, the image of the otaku is attempted to be looked upon in a new light, casting a sentimental, feel-good light on the shunned obsessive. I have heard and read many things about what otaku do and mean in Japan, but never read anything about it so much in detail. NHK bears the same themes just in a different perspective- a hikikomori's life without the positive humour.

First off, the main character, Satou is a NEET(Not in Education, Employment or Training) hikikomori with a serious social problem. A real hikikomori, not like me, who keeps pretending to be one. The meaning of hikikomori means social recluse, but to read about Satou's withdrawal complex in blow-by-blow details is a slap in the face, nearly excruciating. I nearly feel bad for making lame hikikomori jokes.

Satou gets sucked further into a world of unproductivity, meaninglessness and eroge. At one point he develops a lolicon fetish, thanks to his equally loser neighbour. All the time, hating himself for not being able to break the cycle, get off his ass and get a job/finish college. All the time, turning to drugs, sleep and suicidal thoughts for solace. He knows he wants help, but doesn't dare to ask for it. He blames the NHK (which is a real broadcasting company in Japan) for his present state, for airing anime and turning him into an otaku turned hikikomori.

There are few pages that will give you the warm fuzzy feeling, most chapters reek of despair and hopelessness. Subtle and delibrate bits of otaku-orientated humour have been injected in, but it doens't change the overall message. The stark truth of loneliness and being alone hits hard. Yet, it kept me reading page after page, even when I was really sleepy. I was pretty sure I wouldn't be getting a happy ending. The climax was not what I expected, though. Then I realized I pretty much had the wrong impression of all the characters since the beginning. I can usually predict the outcome of a story, but NHK defied that. The ending was ambiguous as it was bittersweet.

Another thing that surprised me was the Christian subtheme. Misaki, the girl who agrees to help Satou escape his hikikomori life, first met him on a 'religious soliciting trip', probably some kind of evangelistic work. The translation used 'religious group' but no specific name of religion was given. Usage of words like cross and Bible led me to believe it was a Christian group, but it could be a sect for all I know. Which is suprising as less than 1% of Japanese are Christian, and the younger generation are not known for being religious.

NHK sounds emo, but it is a true portrayal of a real phenomenon happening in Japan. It gave me further insight into the hikikomori problem, without the formalness of a news agency article or the glossiness of a polished anime intending viewers to have the opposite opinion on such people. It's dark, sad and mostly disturbing, but we all could do with a bit of realiastic, unedited fiction every now and then. Author Tatsuhiko Takemoto describes in a couple of afterwords that the story was based on his own past experiences, and it was by no means an easy thing to write.

''It was embarrasing. It felt as though I were taking my own shame and revealing it to the world.''-Tatsuhiko Takemoto

On a side note, this is the second english translated novel-turned-anime by Tokyopop that's given me a great read. Are these novels really good or is it just Tokyopop? Either way I'm looking forward to expanding my novel collection --Shana could be next.

Jumper movie: thoughts + spoilers

Just got back from watching Jumper with my mum. Yeah, because all my friends are afk (away from Kuching) studying things like Chemistry and LAN while I enjoy my last week of golden freedom. I had a good time with my mum, anyway. I thought I'd write a little on it since it's been ages since I did any proper posts that did not inculde an anime picture and a 4chan meme that no one else understands.

Ok, to cut to the chase.
*obligatory spoiler warning* There will be spoilers.


Plot:
Loser Guy discovers he can 'jump' or teleport. Runs away and does stupid stuff. Enter Samuel L Jackson, who's sick of killing snakes and doing voices for lousy anime. Decides to kill these Jumpers because he's jealous they have leet powers and he doesn't. Loser Guy buddies up with fellow Jumper to save his ass. They team up and fight!! Woohoo!! They beat the bad guys, break up over the girl, finally Loser Guy lives happilly ever after with chick. Includes nice effects, filming locations around the world, cool cars, twist at the end and the mandatory Hollywood sex scene (which got censored).

The good:
-CG effects. Wow to blazes it was amazing. (But then again, with present day technology, any less I'll be disappointed.)
-Lunch on the Sphinx? Weaving through Tokyo traffic like it was not there? Playing PS2 in the middle of a desert? Awesome. I wanna jump too!
-I've always wanted to travel the world too- using unconventional methods. Jumping or flying works fine for me. So I like the whole idea of jumping.
-I love the second jumper's British accent. Or was it Irish? 'Wot d'yeu fink this eez, Ouphrah?' Yes, I would like a cuppa tay too.
-Jumping is simply, for the lack of a better word, --cool.

The bad:
-Technicalities went unexplained. Summaries everywhere on the net describe the 'jumping' power as 'a genetic anomally' and involves 'quantum teleportation'. Bull. It's just big words to make the summary look impressive. There was no light shed on this subject. Wonder where I can get the novel...
-War? What war? A couple of guys fighting a gang of electric rods is a freaking war??? These people need to stop exaggerating.
-Overly shaky camera movements in certain parts. It worked with the Bourne series, because we could actually see what was going on. Not here.

The ugly:
- It's not just Hayden Christensen (who ruined Star Wars II for me). It's his character, Ricebowl or whatever it was. Living the easy life with zero education or qualifications just because he robbed a few banks? That is just not happening, man. I'd have more respect for Tomoya Okazaki.
- 'Sooner or later all Jumpers turn bad.'
'Well I'm different.'
'Ok I believe you. Thanks for not throwing me with the sharks kthxbai.'
Ok he didn't say the last bit but it sure felt like it. I suppose stealing money is not a bad thing, then. Meh.

The LOL:
-Banks don't keep real money in vaults nowadays, do they? This is not 1960s Spiderman.
-Afro Samurai Samuel L Jackson's white hair.
-The British/Oirish accent. XD Again.

Overall: Not bad, but not jaw-dropping terrific either. It's apparently quite different from the original novel too. I'd give it a good 7.5/10.

Mm~

Happy Valentines to the allegedly lonely singles and the allegedly happy lovebirds. :)

I wanted to upload a nice V-day pic but blogger was tsun so it literally took me a whole day to fail to get the damn pic up, that's why this post is late. Damn fag blogger.


Lucky Star girls in support of giving you hand-made chocolate with much loev!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway if you're a manly man please do not try and get attached to a girl-- falling in love does this to you. Gar turned to mush. -_- Give me my gar tjhan back!!! T_T

~

Ja matta onii-san. See you in 2009!!!!!

I did it for the lulz too!!!!

Everyone and their mom and their grandmom has blogged Clannad 17, but it's only understandable. It's a bit late, but Clannad 17 is easily the best episode to date.

What happens is, Yukine introduces a charm for getting locked in a gym equipment storage room with a girl.

Balance two 10yen coins on top of each other, mutter some incantation, think of the person and poof!! You'll find yourself locked up in a store with a hot chick.

Impossible?


Damn straight...


But you did it anyhow, right?


By golly it really worked!! Now what?


No need to ask.


Butbutbutbutbutbutbutbut *derederederedere*

I'll leave it to your imaginations to what happened next. Or, you could watch the episode. ;) (It's not what it looks like, honest.)


You're such a damn liar, Tomoya. XD

For the lulz, I tried it out. To all the ronery guys out there trying the balance-10-yen trick, I have a tip: it's all about the thickness of the coin. You see, I tried balancing these two coins and what do you know? It worked!!!!!!



Trick is, it's not 10yen but 50 Australian cents. They're big, thick and not even round. Anyone would be able to do it. XD But Yukine didn't say we couldn't use another type of coin, did she?


I photoshopped oni-san in here.

Ok, I cheated. -_- Balancing a single 20sen coin was easy, getting two was not so. Hell, getting one AUS$1 coin to stand was impossible.




Ok so I got two coins to balance, never mind they're not 10yen coins (actually it does matter a lot XD ) What do I wish for?

Guys, you can go ahead and waste your time trying try it out for the lulz, but you might get lucky and end up locked in a store with a chick.

Aww c'mon, you got nothing to lose. :D

Attempt

If anyone asks what I was doing on the fourth day of Chinese New Year I'd tell them I was scanlating School Rumble manga chapter 29 for fun. They'd give me blank stares and I'd proudly explain how I was on the right path to becoming a hikikomori.

But seriously, scanlating is tedious if you're a one-man job. A single 8-page chapter too half an afternoon. Cleaning was a bitch, but that was because I took horrible scans. The scans I took were from the Chuang Yi chinese version of School Rumble vol.4, so in a way it was a good chance to brush up on my Chinese. I was relieved to find that, after years of neglecting the language, I can still read and understand enough Chinese to translate it!!!! *pops confetti* :D

Thumbnails for the win!!

















Heheh.

ｷﾀ━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━!!!!!

So I rippeth the taggeth from Atiffeth the greatteth. In hopeth of injecting lifeth into this blogth, alas I knoweth not whether it actually worketh.

Ok, pseudo-Old English is weird. Anyway here's the tag:

1.) What was your dream during childhood?

Can't remember, really. Probably something generic.

2.) Rainy days or sunny days. Why?

Rain please. Sun is for folks way up north or south who can't wait to get a tan. I've been living in the equator long enough to know that I'd rather have cooling rain than intense heat.

3.) Which colour do you prefer?

I'm not a colour person, but if I really had to decide it would be blue.

4.) Who would you marry?

If I knew, then I could charge you all a hundred bucks to predict your futures. Next.

5.) What present would you prefer best?

Moneh, munny, monniiiii. No surprises here, I'm Chinese, right? (Actually, money as a gift is the most practical present, just by comparing the Chinese custom of angpow and the Western one of Christmas presents. I can't recall the figures, but a significant percentage of Christmas presents get send back to the shops. Whereas moneh is not an imposed gift, but rather gives you the power to purchase the exact item you want. Aye?)

6.) What are you most afraid of losing?

My head.

7.) If you met someone you love, would you confess to him her or keep it a secret?

Secret, duh. 99.9% of 'met someone you love' is nought but infatuations and crushes that blow over like dust on the street. No need to think too much.

8.) The dumbest thing you had done in your life?

When I was still young and innocent, I had a teddy bear which had a hole in the crotch area where the stuffing was put in. Not knowing any better, I showed the hole to all my relatives and poked my finger into it. I thought it was funny.

9.) Which type of person you hate the most?

Elitist bastards. Especially when they get all tsun.

10.) What is your ambition?

Save the world, then take over it.

11.) Would you rather be someone else at this moment?

YUI, coz she rocks.

12.) If you can have a dream come true, what would it be?

Join/form a rock band, where I play rhythm/backup bass. We'd play gigs and do serious covers.

13.) What do you think that is the most important thing in your life?

A steady heartbeat, to pump oxygen into all the little arteries and deliver nutrients to respirating cells. I'M ALIIIIIIVVVEEEEEE

14.) What qualities do you want in your other half?

That person must be from the planet Vulcan.

15.) Who is your favourite cartoon character?

Invader Zim.

16.) Which is the best time of your life?

When I'm asleep and dreaming.

17.) Who do you wanna meet at least once before you die?

Kyon.

18.) What would you do if you could go back in time?

I'll go back, shoot a dinosaur, stray from the path and step on a butterfly.

But seriously, I'd go striaght into the future and see how messed up the world is. (I'm a huge buff of space colony fantasies.)

19.) Most memorable day of 2007?

Taylor's Anime Fest/the day my final results came out.

Aaannnnnnnnnnnddddddddddddddddd..............................I'm done!!! As Hiro Nakamura would say, 'yatta!!!!' :D

Happy CNY + major pwnage happenings!!!!!

OH.MY.FREAKING.GAWD.

PWNAGE.

PWNAGE.

PWNAGE.

PWNAGE.

Well at least, that's the only thing in my mind right now, after I witnessed a series of events that demonstrates the power of the internet.

It all started with a random idea. I'm prone to such things, hmm?

A full account has been nicely written out here. And RIUVA makes a comeback here!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh god oh god oh god.

But seriously, I (yes, the other person involved) really thought they were joking about a helpline. Months of stalking RIUVA has led me to believe it is run by a pack of jokers (at least, TJ). I mean, Tripeman??? Chakra concentrated on tjhan's foot Narutostyle? Condom jackets? And now suddenly, for playing the part, we get a miffed Kokanaden saying 'You do realise that like 911/999, the emergency hotlines, our Riuva Otaku Helpline is a geniune attempt at reaching out and aiding the otaku population. By using up valuable air-time on fake letters, you are depriving the real needy people from having their voices heard and problems resolved.'

A 180 degree turn out of the blue? All this while you've amused us all by your funny anecdotes, then suddenly turn all holier-than-thou and condemn the prankers who are committing a mortal sin? If we took them all seriously, that means they are actually dirty smelly NEET otaku bastards who touch younger girls and severe family ties by becoming hikikomori, as they love to brag about.

Which I know is not true, because eg tjhan is a food science major at NUS and did his A levels at Raffles JC. He also lives in a HDB flat and has parents and at least one brother, so he is not some war orphan who got so traumatized he felt it was his responsibility to pilot Gundam Otaku to eradicate war or something.

Hell, even the Helpline debut looked like a joke. Read this and tell me you do not think it was a joke. Tell me.

Actually I'm not sure who pwned who, but it was a good laugh in the end, flame or no flame. And I discovered that Singaporeans, like everyone else, think that Malaysia is made of a phallic peninsular and nothing else. That's fine, we East Malaysians are perfectly content wearing loinclothes in our treehouses in an island in the middle of nowhere.

Here's a CNY rat picture for all ya guys.


新年快樂 萬事如意！！！！！！Clannad 的 Fuuko 是最棒的！！！XD


PS I wonder what will happen if LianYL found out about my nyoro~ strip. XD

One More Time

Going through some of my old stuff again I found the ED to Byousoku 5cm in one of my videos folders. The song is called One More Time, One More Chance which is an oldie by Masayoshi Yamazaki. The song itself is a wonderfully beautiful piece, and I've no doubt anyone who's watching it with the movie will be moved to tears.

Took me a few minutes to get this intro tab straight, currently working on a piano version which I hope to be able to perfect soon.

It's a lot easier to play on piano @_@ even though it's played best with guitar. There's a whole string ensemble behind it too and the usual drum beat. God, I'd love to just arrange it all one day.

EDIT: I just found this YouTube tutorial for guitar. It's simply perfect. Man I love whoever did this.

I got it.....

You know that recent Morning Crew remix? The one that sounds like 'I got it from my mama(k)' by JJ and Rudy from hitz.fm. Me and my bro decided to come up with our own parody of the parody. Brace yourselves.

I got it from my grandma! I got it from my grandma! I got it from my grandma! I got it got it got it...

All these food right here, I got all these from my grandma.
All these food right here, I got all these from my grandma.

If the keropok real crisp, 9 times outta 10, its coming from my grandma,
If the bakgua real sweet, 9 times outta 10, its sweeter from my grandma,
If the kueh s's really squashed, I bet you, it is not from my grandma,
If the girl's real fine, 9 times outta 10, she's visiting my grandma,
If you're chilling in Green Road, 9 times outta 10, you're chilling at my grandma's,
If you're hanging in Satok, 9 times outta 10, you're hanging at my grandma's,
At my grandma's!

Leng Chai, where'd you get your bakgua from?
Leng Lui, where'd you get your oren from?
Leng Chai, where'd you get your kueh S from?
Leng Lui, where'd you get your keropok from?

I got it from my grandma! I got it from my grandma! I got it from my grandma! I got it got it got it...
Bakgua make some noise!
If you like kueh S, make some noise!
If you like leng tao, make some noise!
Make some noise, Make some noise, noise, noise...
(noi, noi, noi, anoy, anoy...)

And there you have it. My brother has grand delusions of recording us sing it, but he'll have to find another singer because I sound like a cold-stricken chicken on testosterone on a recording, besides I hate the sound of my voice.

Well, happy Chinese New Year to you guys!!! And do thank your grandmas if that's where you got your cookies from. :)
