Hitting that right note

Just so you know.. most of these posts are written.... like at 1:30 am in the morning. It's quiet, everyone's asleep, including you (unless your hardcore partying o_o) and reading it any other time would make it sound weird if it isn't weird enough already. Best if it's in the same settings you know? but it's peaceful nevertheless...

What's it going to be this time?

Lately, I've had that urge to learn a new piano song, but since I no longer have the keyboard with me ( cousin took it back ) that's near to impossible . I'll eventually get it back someday.. but in the meantime I'm also slowly but surely forgetting how to play the 1 and a half songs I already know HOW to play.

So here's the first song I can play, completed, and sounds exactly like it:



If you did take the time to listen, then yes, it's quite the emo song, HAHA, but I love it, for it's simplicity and cleanliness (?)

Next up we have a song that I only know how to half play, the fingers got way to tricky at about 40 second mark. Seriously going to beat it someday -_-'



a nice song that reminds me of the childhood memories ) which also hints a bit of romance? (the main character, who is clearly nervous, is on an awkward date with his love interest when the song plays)

As you can see, even though these pieces are no where near Beethoven or Mozart, for someone who has no idea how to read scores, let alone not no anything to do with music, I'd say it's a fairly decent try!

but uni's gong to start soon.. T_T at least the people there are AWESOME CHEESE xD

Onto today's random topic: are you one of those people who are popular? I bet you are, or you're just being modest.
like, you sign in on msn : 10 conversations that go hey ! pop up and you suddenly find yourself in some balancing act trying to remember who you last replied to.

that or, even on fb, you post a remark/statement and you get a billion replies ? that's just win. hahah

Maybe even in real life (lol) you've always got people around you, and finding that perfect time to strike a 1 on 1 conversation with that person.. seems merely impossible.

dw, about 90% of the time you'll see me by myself, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't love to have a conversation too

Oh not uni

Oh my, less then 2 weeks before uni starts.. -_-

Exciting for some, not so for others; and so which do you fit in?

Mixed feelings here. One side is sick of lazying around on your ass and having that urge to go out and learn something new, but the other screams waking up early, catching the train, and late nights at the library studying for tests and not so much games. and whats worse, the party season's dying too. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

And so many changes have already begun, seriously..

So as I brace myself for yet another year of uncertainty , I cannot help but wonder what the future holds in terms of well, you know :P

I mean the crazyness of 2010 has already started if you ask me. AHHHH

and needa get teh study mojo back too -_-

and now onto something incredibly random:
When you talk to people.. be it anyone, do you give them eye contact?
It's funny how i notice the way people do it. I look for about 3 seconds then glance away for like 5 seconds and then repeat. some people give you full eye contact during the conversation, and others don't look at all. is it out of shyness or are they simply staring at your face? hmm. I dunno, i find it pretty hard to give one full eye contact. feels weird. must be an Asian thing. =/

Oh yeah Happy Chinese new year and valentines! =) hope it was somewhat enjoyable !

Vanta signing off, over and out.

Proposal through a video game?

So was youtubing randomly the other day and came across a video of one of my favourite childhood games: chrono trigger. The video was pretty ingenius though, for it tells about a guy hacking into the game his girlfriend was playing and proposing through the game. It's got alot of gamers envious and I guess only the girl who was a gamer herself, would appreciate this unique way of proposing. Seriously go see for yourself.

Note : the actual area where the guy is is NOT in the game, it was his hack. The people he talks to doesn't exist too. The hacker boyfriend made the words said by the characters. I'd say skip to 4 minute mark.

By the way she said yes..

you look like your mum.

It's amazing how people resemble their parents sometimes. No seriously, it's crazy. Like you take the eyes and nose of one and borrow the mouth and ears of the other; plug it on the face and presto. You have your child.

I don't know, as people grow older, resemblances intensify. No you don't agree with me? hmm

oh well on the topic..

Heres a theory I like to ask people:

Good looking parents have an okay looking children
and okay looking parents have good looking children ( and i suppose if your in between you stay in between )
You think? I see it alot actually and it does seem to have its merits... hahaha

well you can't see any resemblence of me and neice Ariya? :O


Didn't think so.

You have a joystick in your car?

Picture a party like atmosphere, with the Playstation 3 up and ready.

Vanta: So.. do you play street fighter?

Some Guy: Yeah I do man

Vanta: You good?

Some Guy: I bet I can own you but I can only play with the joystick, not the controller...

Vanta: I brought a joystick.

Some guy: What the hell you serious? ahaha who brings a joystick around?

Vanta: yeah.. was playing at a friends place before, just happens to be in the car

Some Guy: I bet you knew there was going to be Street fighter 4 at this party

Vanta : I had some idea. But I'm better with the joystick then I am with the controller.

Some guy: I don't care I'm still going to use the joystick anyway and beat your ass.

Vanta goes and gets the joystick

Vanta : lets do this..

Vanta chooses guile. Guy chooses Vega . Vanta thinks " if he can use Vega he must know how to get around. hardly anyone I know uses Vega..."

Match starts off. sonic boom! sonic boom!

Some guy... as shown

3 minutes later. Vega: AGGHHHHH - Guile WINS.

Some guy : Woah man you're good.

Vanta : go rematch.

3 minutes later again : Guile wins.

Some guy : Okay you beat me. You're heaps good man.

Vanta : I'm sorry.. what did you say before?

some guy : didn't know you'd be that good.

- during the match I noticed he was above the average street fighter 4 player. I mean no wonder he felt confident he could beat me.

Vanta : good but not great, there's still so much things that need to be mastered in this game. Compared to tournament players. I get smashed by them.

Some guy : Don't know what your on about but your still damn good. David by the way.

Vanta : Vanta ..


the next hour consists of me ripping apart 12 other players wit my guile and joystick while a small crowd ttries to cheer on someone who can beat me. no one does. Everyone's just like ... what the.

The infamous joystick. Noticed how I keep a smile when i play my opponents. In the mean time they look to be concentrating to the max.

Yeah... just another street fighting day for me. Sorry for the boring post.

The end is coming

Holidays are closing in fast... and there’s not much time left. Noooooo more sleeping in!
So last night I agreed to do some catering for a wedding and you know, it was a pretty good experience overall.
I guess it depends on how you see it:
- A small wedding with only 20 tables total (40’s average), good for a newbie to start off with (only assigned two tables).
- Worked with some friends to take the pressure off being judged? xD
- Met some new people too
- Owners of the cater company were awesomely friendly
- Moving around carrying heavy food means you’re getting a free workout.
- Wedding atmosphere with all its gimmicks included; dancing, socialising and eye candy? :D
- Free wedding food was such a bonus

However; another wedding was going on at the same time at another place. Told it had about 60ish tables there? (Huge) And with so many people, there’s no wonder that friend of mine working there was going off about seeing a once in a life time “10”. The first 10 he had given ever! She must of been something then hey. Told she was a half cast too. I didn’t see any 10’s where I was working though D:

I guess when it comes to 10’s, you think to yourself there’s absolutely no way whatsoever I’d get with her and you pretty much sealed all opportunities before you even get started. I know heaps of friends (guys) like that, and it’s no wonder they’ve always been single and still are. It’s probably an Asian thing to be shy and how you were brought up being told to not take risks or something. That's why I’m in the same boat. Guess times are changing, and when you sense that the timings right, you become non-Asian just for the moment ._.

Kind of reminds me of that video clip Just a Nice Guy. So.. if you really have nothing else better to do (hence why your reading this in the first place) then give it a watch. It’s not that long and it’s pretty sweet, albeit cliché. Oh yeah the girl starring in the clip would definitely be a 10 in my books!

Why so hot?

Far out it's so hot. go outside for 2 mins and come back in, instant free tan. Simply walking to
the fridge to get a drink is a workout . what is this world coming too.
Its still pretty cool to walk half naked around the house and not get told off though. haha

But luckily there's a cool change tomorrow, 26 degrees for once!!!!!!

Now onto today's random topic:

Do you sleep in PJ's?

I've don't actually. It's usually shorts, a t or a singlet or even just boxers. I've never grown accustom to PJ's. Weird isn't it?

Short post because it's so friggen hot.

By the way, to all those reading this; it's probably been ages since I caught up with you at least 1 on 1 since the holidays. So...Vanta says Hi! :D
