This is the normal last day of February
February 28, 2000
I don’t like leap years. February 29 just sounds weird. Makes me think of Friday the 13th for some reason. Anyways yesterday was quite an unproductive day.
After making the stupid game (below), I tried studying on campus… I half-read, half-slept through the afternoon. So I went home all pissed off. We go to Shabusen to eat shitty jap food and I tip the soy sauce bottle over. A sea of black fluid covers the table. I had a couple beers but that didn’t do anything. Fuck. My tolerance isn’t as low as I thought it was.
I get home, missed the Simpsons (fuck me running), watch Malcolm In The Middle (it’s quite stupid), and study again.
Then I prepare my resume for my job hunting commencing this week. Want to hire me? Please?
Oh yeah, I just came out of a gruesome duel with Dennis in his quake3 level codenamed: Chicken. It was pretty good. If you have the fortune to play it, you’ll know what I mean when I say, “Ramp Spike”. Haha.
Hockey practise was cancelled on account of water falling out of the sky but by 1400, the solar entity was donating its thermal energy again. Damn it.
That’s it. Bye.
This is what I want to do

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday February 14, @06:50PM from the now-thats-a-PR-stunt dept.
Nom Anor writes “A couple from South America is going to celebrate their wedding today… on a Quake2 server! The bride and groom will say “I do” as the male and female grunt models inside a Quake 2 Battlegrounds server to be hosted by M-Web’s Gamezone, a popular South African gaming work. The judge will preside over the ceremony through his computer in his Cape Town home. [source]
How sweet. Maybe one day, my lover and I will say “I do” while sparring for title, Grand Master of the Universe. Romantic. Just as I’m about to place the ring on her finger, she judo slams my ass onto the mat and does a Jeffrey Super Duper Kick Flip Ass Landing. While I’m stuck between consciousness and unconsciousness, the judge/reverend will come and and count, “1, 2, 3, Do you Jerry, 4, 5, take Shoo, 6, 7, as your lawfully, 8, 9, wedded wife, 10! The winner, and NEW Grand Master of the Universe… Shoo! Oh yeah, I now present you man and wife”.
Then our honeymoon will consist of a rematch in the Bahamas – 100 rounds right beside the ocean on the beautiful beaches. I will perform a perfect flying scissor double leg twist upper kick and land and give my lover a passionate kiss. The kiss only a guise to hide my patented Rainbow Super Ultimate Hyper Left Swirly Wirly Punch-a-crotch. As my honey is wailing from all the pain, I will jump for joy as I proclaim myself the NEW NEW Grand Master of the Universe.
Then in the hotel room that night, I will have to give her back to title or else she’ll withhold something even more important.
Then in the morning, we’ll have awakened with a bright grin on our faces from another “sparring” match in bed. After breakfast, we both stare at the exhorbant bill the room service guy gives us, we both feel the chi build inside and we perform the rare, Jerry and Shoo Double Conjoined Flying Kick Punch Headbutt Square In The Nuts move taught to only the best students of the Shaolin Temple. The room service guy will fall on his knees, hands grasping at his now exploded privates. He will apologize greatly for the displeasure the bill caused us. In my victory stance (just like RYU’s stance), I will say triumphantly, “You should be sorry. I’m not paying $2 for that coffee. Asshole.”
Then by noon, we’ll have sparred in the many tourist attractions like churches, museums, battle sites, brothels, and shopping centres. We’ll be pretty tired when night comes but we go at it like rabbits again.
The rest of the honeymoon is pretty much similar to the first day.
Yeah, so that pretty much describes my marriage. Let’s celebrate it by the posting of pictures of Shoo. Have fun.
My Reading Break Summarized
February 21, 2000
I finally realized my nice 1 week holiday was over after finishing today’s classes. It was a nice week, I did what I wanted to do and probably did some more.
We went karaoking after a hearty meal and as usual, I hogged the mic. Of course the day wasn’t complete without pool.
Then there was Valentine’s Day which was really awesome for me. I played some quake, updated my page, watched some vcds, and resented everything else. What a good day it was.
Ah yes, let’s not forget the stalking of Cheng Ekin. That was fun in a scary ass kind of way. Mind you, I was not out to stalk him, I was merely a tool for which someone else used to try to get to him (and then what? rape him? I dunno, I’ll leave that to her). Of course, that day had some pool too.
During our Wings Outing, I was feeling shitty because of a myriad of things that were compressing into this shiny pearl ball of shittiness and was kicking the crap out of my regression matrix in my head. That night consisted of pool too and someone mentioned, “Jerry you spend too much time in pool halls.” Fuck it doesn’t take an Einstein to figure that out. I was still feeling shitty after pool but at the btea place, I was feeling a bit better and managed to get some laughs in at the expense of one puffy cheeked person.
Ahh yes, I sparred with my cousin one night and he showed me the Ultimate Move: The Jeffrey Super Duper Kick Flip Ass Landing. I’m no good at the move, but I’ll try to describe it – first you do a girly sidekick, but be sure you’re wearing socks while doing this because only while wearing socks will your stance be unstable since socks and carpets is like skates and ice. Second -the foot that you’re standing on, lose your balance by arching your butt back, the foot you’re standing on should now be in mid air with your other foot too. Third – make sure you land with a loud THUD, flat on your ass with your arms sprawled out sideways. Your opponents will then laugh at you. Finally, while they’re still bent over gasping for air due to all that laughing, try to get up no matter how much your butt hurts and then go strangle him. That’s the Jeffrey Super Duper Kick Flip Ass Landing.
I did train a lot this week and as a result, I feel a lot better physically. I can curl 30lbs now! Yeah for me.
Then I played more quake and updated my webpage more and put some more Sea pics up. Played more pool (pathetic). Ate a lot of fast food. Ahh yes, poker.
Then were was hockey practice where I wore my ankle weights all through practise and now my legs are all sore. Doh.
So there you have it, that was pretty much my whole week. I want to move to another country.
I’ll Teach Them How To Spend Money Instead
February 16, 2000
Mir Space station: an aging heap of metal the size of five school buses.
“The 14-year-old station has surpassed its expected five-year lifespan but is suffering from metal fatigue, corrosion and chemical contamination among other problems and it is estimated it will cost over $100 million a year to man and maintain it.” (YAHOO)
It’s 9 years past its death date, it was supposed to be dumped into the ocean last year, there’s a big hole in the hull from a collision of debris, and cosmonauts fear it when they step inside.
So, some people are turning it into a hotel. I’m not kidding you. Some investors leased the Mir (pronounced g’ar’bi’ge), plan to renovate it, and then have rich morons pay $20 million to live in it.
If you’ve ever seen it on the news, you’ll notice it’s quite cramped in there, or was it because they brought really large russians into it? Anyways, the question you need to answer is, would you spend a your vacation in a piece of metal that’s about to disintegrate in space a la Deep Impact? Regardless of how much it costs, you wouldn’t catch me in the Mir if Shoo said she’d marry me if I went.
And then there’s the price tag. $20m. Most of us will never know how much $20m is, not with our salaries of what? $50k? $60k? Sadly, I’m sure there are many rich, idiotic tycoons who will dish it out and stay up there.
Wow, 20 million can buy you a lot of stuff. Why would people buy a trip to live in the most unsafe thing orbiting the earth? Hell, I’m sure Fox’s satellites are safer.
That was a fun day
February 13, 2000
Yesterday was a very eventful day for me and of course, here I am writing about it. It started when I was preparing to go to hockey practice when my cous called me to help him clear stuff out of his garage. Um ok. So there we are at his place, lifting 2x4s and other stuff out of the garage onto a truck (why do you have SO many 2x4s?). That was kind of fun though – kind of like a mini-workout.
Then I go home smelling like shit. Then my mom comes home right after me and tells me that we’re going to go out for dinner like right now. Shitty. So I run and jump into the shower and take a shower express. Then we had an ok dinner.
I come home, expecting to stay home and do nothing all night until Andrew calls. He had met up with a couple friends and wanted to meet up. So we meet up (at hs of course) and play for a little bit. Kind of sucked cuz I didn’t want to play pool.
Then one of the friends asked us to go to this hot pot place because she heard Ekin Cheng was going there after a concert. So we get there around 10:40ish. We order 2 plates for 6 people (waiting for 2 more). Then when the other 2 arrive, we order a few more plates. All through the night, we’re making fun of her and saying retarded stuff about Cheng Ekin. Fun though.
We ended up staying for 3 hours! I felt bad because there were people waiting around (to catch a glimpse of Ekin of course) and we were hogging the best table and not ordering that much. The total came to $6 a person =p.
Of all the celebrities our friend hyped us to see: Ekin, Cecilia Cheung, Andy Hui (the only one who could sing a damn), Yeung Cheen Wah, and some other crud people, we only saw 2 so unrelated to hong kong pop: the big fat lady with the high pitched voice and some guy who acted back in the 80s who looked pretty cool.
So it was a big waste of time but i found it fun to laugh at them and eat shitty food and play pool too for the hundredth time.
Welcome to the Grand Opening of JV2.0
February 11, 2000
Yup. It’s finally done. After months of speculation and designing, here it is. Soak it up. After the last prototype, which I liked very much, I decided to just make it the official one.
You’ll notice it has a LOT of similarities with v1.3 – that was kind of my intent because I really liked the last version too. But oh well.
This page may not work properly with NS. I’m quite sure it works with IE5 and Dennis said it works with Mozilla (the prototype but this is basically the same thing).
The title thing up in the corner is an email link.
I’m still porting old pages over so it might take awhile before all the stuff from before is up. So you might run into some broken links. I’ve decided to just dump some of the old stuff and start anew since this is v2! I’m working on most of the pages but the message board and guestbook are temporarily deactivated. No more v1x! Aren’t you excited? I sure am!
In case you miss it unbearably, v1.3 is in my webpage portfolio along with my other so-called-webpages.
So this was the last day of class before reading break – a whole fucking week off!!! – yeah! And to celebrate, I’m going to do what we usually do on a Friday night – Yeah! Wow, this almost is a Yeah Day! Almost… just not quite.
Sniff. This webpage is now at home in the museum. There’s an upgrade.
February 05, 2000
V2. It’s up. So bye bye.
It has been a fun three-fourths of a year in this design (my longest yet).
As for this page, it’s going to retire in my Webpage Portfolio at Geocities along with the rest of my old webpages.
What else is new… ahh, today is the last day of class before reading break – a whole week of nothing. Yeah! A long deserved break if you ask me. Luckily I only have one more midterm left I think.
Then there’s also the tonnes of assignments followed by a presentation and then finals.
If all goes well, I’ll be in summer enjoying the sun again.
Ok that’s enough of this… goodbye.
a little later on the same day
February 04, 2000
During one of our chats, I told Dennis that I was gonna go to train (martial arts) and then sing (because I like singing).
J: okily dokily
ttyl
gonna sing then train
D: why not both at the same time?
J: ahhahaha
Jerry the Singing Martial Artist ahhahaah
And one week later, Dennis posts this up on his webpage! Hahaha. And do you know WHO is The Singing Martial Artist’s sidekick is? Haha… none other than the respected, Tiger Leong!!!! You’ll definitely be seeing more of this later. (Like it or not).
Happy Chinese New Years
I hope your 4698th year will be as good as the last 4698. It’s the year of the Dragon. It’s the year of the future: 2000. Anyone ever imagine what the year 2000 would’be been like? I thought we would have hovercars and holographic recreation and houses that clean themselves. But 2000 and 1990 are quite similar (plus some more computing power that’s it).
I haven’t updated lately because I’ve simply been too busy with my boring little life. Firstly, on the Thursday, we were slaughtered in hockey by a score of 9-1. We were doing ok in the first half, 3-0, then in the second, we totally died. Shots from all sorts of weird angles went in. I managed to score that lonely 1 for us… yeah for me I guess. =P
Then there were the few hours I spent making v2.0 prototypes. One of them is up, in the graphics page – but It’s canned because Dennis pointed out that it didn’t work in Netscape. Fuck netscape. And you too Dennis! For using Linux! Haha if it weren’t for NS, my pages would all work fine. Hey here’s an interesting thought: you know how MS supposedly is imposing a monopoly over net browsers by packaging IE with Windows… well, there is no IE in Linux, so can we go file a class action suit on Netscape for having a monopoly in Linux??? Hmm… I hope Paul Allen doesn’t read this. Haha. There’s bound to be some loophole with free software and monopolies and I’m sure Allen and Co. will come up with a way to dismantle Netscape by the seams.
I played a few hours of Xcom too, but not that much. I don’t know where my time went! Oh yeah, I did study quite a bit and also trained hard. Then there was Tuesday which I was bummed out and some good friends accompanied me to to pool hall and I whupped them. After that, I felt a lot better and yesternight I whupped some more people. I rule.
There’s a Portfolio Management Foundation (what a shitty webpage) in Commerce which I have the highest interest in getting in. It’s an intensive 2 year program geared to bring experience in the industry of capital investments and such. About a hundred apply and 6-9 get in. I like those odds. If I get in I’ll be spending the summer working in Toronto: a city I don’t like since it’s ultra fast paced and everyone seems to be pissed off all the time. Plus I don’t know too many people there except a few good friends work there. If I’m picked, then maybe I can see them a bit more instead of twice a year, once being drunk and puking. Good luck to me.
I have 2 midterms and 2 assignments next week and as of right now, I have four whole days to study for them. I’m confident I’ll be too lazy and make that four into three, then two, then none. I don’t expect to be updating in these few days so read up this new stuff.
During my hiatus from the webpage updating scene, redirect your browser slightly and head towards Sinned’s Realm. After excessive harassment of “Make a banner Dennis. Make a banner Dennis.” etc, he has made a banner! You might notice it up top. If not, keep refreshing this page until you do see it – it’s on random selection between 3 banners. And his page is getting funnier and more interesting each day.
Prototype Up!
February 03, 2000
Possible v2.0 is up. Go check it out. This is not the final version… i just don’t like it enough yet.
