Protes and Allah

Serge Norguard — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 13:34:15 +0000

Just a quick update for today.

Apparently there will be a protest about the recent fuel price hike. This protest rally was to be at a location of Padang Timur. Now it has been stated that the Coalition Against Inflation (Protes) will have their rally at the Kelana Jaya Stadium. Which is about a 15 minute walking distance from where Serge is.

What the hell are these people thinking ? Having a rally close to Serge’s residential territory ? Let there not be fighting or some shit that happens near the LDP and since they would like to have this rally on the 6th of June from 1000hrs till 0000hrs of 7th of June; Serge wonders if the audio of the rally will hit and break the sound barriers and disturb his essential 2000hrs sleep on Sunday.

Stupid dumbfucks, they should get a gun and shoot themselves silly for such things.

Next on the political front, though this may seem religious..it is in a sense political. As all Malaysians and most of you foreign readers know, out of all the religion that this country seem to have… Christianity is one religion whereby the Malay folks the minority of them who is also the majority that is in power in this nation… seem to hate due to reasons that we cannot even fathom at the moment.

The Herald, which is the Catholic Newspaper publish weekly was banned sometime ago, due to the use of the word Allah. If Serge is not mistaken, the basis of the ban is simple, it’s a malay word, it’s a muslim word and therefore it can be only use by malay who are muslims. Hold on, hold on… to his knowledge, the word Allah is not a malay word but an Arabic word.

As Archbishop Murphy Pakiam contest the ban to let the government allow the Herald to use the word Allah, we see that The Sikh community in Malaysia has become the latest party seeking to intervene in the suit by the Catholic Church over the use of the word Allah.

Somehow, we wonder what the hell is going on.

Chrono Trigger ported for DS Lite

Serge Norguard — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 12:04:17 +0000

There’s a thing called remakes, there’s a thing call porting out and there’s a thing call miracles. Square-Enix, probably did all three of this in one go. The name of the game is Chrono Trigger. This game was first launch on March 11, 1995 in Japan, and August 22, 1995 in North America via the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The story of Chrono Trigger involved a group of young adventurers protecting the world from Lavos through massive time traveling, back to the past and onwards to the future. A game which Serge has played and enjoyed it for all it’s 13 endings, which correspond to what the player did in the game.

In 1999, Chrono Trigger was ported to the Playstation One. The cult of Crono, Frog and gang continued. We love them much and with much waited breathe and much speculation not caused by rumors from far and wide but from the Square-Enix website, it has been reported that Square-Enix will be re-releasing Chrono Trigger on to the DS system.

–Square-Enix’s Countdown for Chrono Trigger DS

That, fellow readers is the classic Chrono Trigger symbol and that website is not a lie. Serge have moved in every portal to find out more about this. To know if it will be a remake with added scenes or something else ? Too many information, but all he can say is this; “Rumors of Chrono Trigger DS, is not a rumor”

North America’s Square-Enix website does have Chrono Trigger DS countdown page. Yes crap in your pants! Pee with joy… Grab your swords and X-Sword your way to victory against Lavos once more.

Good Reads to read up more on this awesomeness :

Macross Frontier 12 - Fastest Delivery

Serge Norguard — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 13:20:13 +0000

In the 12th episode of this fantastic series we see our hero Saotome Alto (who looks damn like Kanda Lee) play the role of watchdog and caretaker for Sheryl Nome. Whom Serge feels has a connection with Sarah and Mao Nome of Macross Zero. Though we would have to wait for the upcoming episodes to find out more.

Anyway, as part of a relief concert at Galia 4 (惑星ガリア4)… we see the hero and the lady in distress fall into an obvious trap. A trap set by a faction of the Zentradi who believes that fighting is in their blood and therefore they must continue to fight. Doesn’t that ring a bell to song with some lyrics that has similarities to it ?.

From what Serge can tell, Sheryl has some link to the Zentradi as her sickness was triggered due to certain events. Alto being the hero tries to get back to his Variable-Fighter but is unable to… of course he is not able to, for the greatest star who Serge believes is the Minmay of Frontier; Ranka Lee.

Who loves Alto, but to shy to tell him straight and yet even though Alto can be an ass; she still comes to save his day and his life and all that jazz. All done by singing. Do not laugh but this is serious, this has been a Macross tradition. Deculture! Songs to soothe the savage Zentradi and also save Alto’s ass.

With that said and done, Michael Blanc (ミハエル・ブラン); advise the emotionally inept Alto to take Ranka back home as she has a debut concert to perform the very next day. Silly girl, saving that man’s ass. And another tradition that is common with Macross is the cliffhanger… This cliffhanger has stunned Serge so badly that you the readers will have to look at the screenshot taken.

Macross fans and fanatics, you saw it. You cannot believe…Serge CANNOT BELIEVE IT. While you gawked, Serge knows you love the Macross Frontier music so why not get the following ::

Sub-Urbianscapes

Serge Norguard — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 07:01:15 +0000

Let us begin by thanking Nuffnang for providing Serge with some delicious media passes for the Urbanscapes event that was held at the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center, Sentul Park. Robb is awesome.

Urbanscapes was held yesterday on the 28th of June and it is a half a day event from 1200hr to 0000hr. Serge was to be there until 2200hr but somewhere along the way his body started to act up like an old man so he left earlier instead. Though he was there for a good seven hours of which it is good.
