Gentlemen,
It has come to my attention, as a sudden surge of mystification followed by regret, that where our once proud and tall pillar of intellect and comradery stood be now cursed by debris and silence. Gone whereth had our original ambitions, and gone whereth had our pretentious self-declared superiority led us?
Back in the beginning, when we were editing footages of Terrence falling into a river in Video Club, there was a and a necessarily subtle understanding of how each of us stood out, among all the walking zombie sheeps of memes and contemporary trends. Each of us stood out because we see things, we thought, and we questioned, on top of looking, hearing, and nodding. We formed the Vigils of Reason in the initiative of making changes, or, at the time, of preparing to make changes.
However, since the partially successful but short-lives revival attemped followed by infiltration of Captain Quacky whom the identity I have no clue of, our league was left in the dust as each of us discovered, pursued, and expanded our ideals and expressed those ideals in the decisions that we made and the manner of which we lived out our lives.
It had been nearly 4 years since our last actual post.
What's changed about you? What did you look back and realize you've been holding dear to your heart the entire time?
What now?

I am Captain Quacky, the ductator of the Ducknology Civilization that existed before the Big Bang destroyed our home planet.
Some idiot with messy hair who liked to stick his tongue out while shouting "E=MC square" just arrived on top of my palace in a metal box. He called it "Time Machine". I killed him, pressed some random button inside the metal box, and realized that I now have paws connected to 5 twirgly thing, swim like Chickenians, and doesn't fly.
While browsing through the list of words put in nonsense orders, I found out about this.... blue place. I was drawn to it's name. it doesn't contain any alphabet from the word "duck" which is weird as it is treason if you don't do that.
Anyways, I demand diplomatic surrender from your pathetic country.
Get me your leader!
You's Duckley,
Captain Quacky

The Time Is Different
My friend, Mark Mykleby, who works in the Pentagon, shared with me this personal letter to the editor he got published last week in his hometown paper, The Beaufort Gazette in South Carolina. It is the best reaction I’ve seen to the BP oil spill — and also the best advice to President Obama on exactly whom to kick you know where.
Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
“I’d like to join in on the blame game that has come to define our national approach to the ongoing environmental disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. This isn’t BP’s or Transocean’s fault. It’s not the government’s fault. It’s my fault. I’m the one to blame and I’m sorry. It’s my fault because I haven’t digested the world’s in-your-face hints that maybe I ought to think about the future and change the unsustainable way I live my life. If the geopolitical, economic, and technological shifts of the 1990s didn’t do it; if the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 didn’t do it; if the current economic crisis didn’t do it; perhaps this oil spill will be the catalyst for me, as a citizen, to wean myself off of my petroleum-based lifestyle. ‘Citizen’ is the key word. It’s what we do as individuals that count. For those on the left, government regulation will not solve this problem. Government’s role should be to create an environment of opportunity that taps into the innovation and entrepreneurialism that define us as Americans. For those on the right, if you want less government and taxes, then decide what you’ll give up and what you’ll contribute. Here’s the bottom line: If we want to end our oil addiction, we, as citizens, need to pony up: bike to work, plant a garden, do something. So again, the oil spill is my fault. I’m sorry. I haven’t done my part. Now I have to convince my wife to give up her S.U.V. Mark Mykleby.”
I think Mykleby’s letter gets at something very important: We cannot fix what ails America unless we look honestly at our own roles in creating our own problems. We — both parties — created an awful set of incentives that encouraged our best students to go to Wall Street to create crazy financial instruments instead of to Silicon Valley to create new products that improve people’s lives. We — both parties — created massive tax incentives and cheap money to make home mortgages available to people who really didn’t have the means to sustain them. And we — both parties — sent BP out in the gulf to get us as much oil as possible at the cheapest price. (Of course, we expected them to take care, but when you’re drilling for oil beneath 5,000 feet of water, stuff happens.)
As Pogo would say, we have met the enemy and he is us.
But that means we’re also the solution — if we’re serious. Look, we managed to survive 9/11 without letting it destroy our open society or rule of law. We managed to survive the Wall Street crash without letting it destroy our economy. Hopefully, we will survive the BP oil spill without it destroying our coastal ecosystems. But we dare not press our luck.
We have to use this window of opportunity to insulate ourselves as much as possible against all the bad things we cannot control and get serious about fixing the problems that we can control. We need to make our whole country more sustainable. So let’s pass an energy-climate bill that really reduces our dependence on Middle East oil. Let’s pass a financial regulatory reform bill that really reduces the odds of another banking crisis. Let’s get our fiscal house in order, as the economy recovers. And let’s pass an immigration bill that will enable us to attract the world’s top talent and remain the world’s leader in innovation.
We need all the cushions we can get right now, because we are living in a world of cascading and intertwined threats that have the potential to turn our country upside down at any moment. We do not know when the next Times Square bomber might get lucky. We don’t know how long the U.S. and Israel will tolerate Iran’s nuclear program. We don’t know if Pakistan will hold together and what might happen to its nukes. We don’t know when North Korea will go nuts. We don’t know if the European Union can keep financing the debts of Greece, Hungary and Spain — and what financial contagion might be set off if it can’t.
“It is not your imagination,” says corporate strategy consultant Peter Schwartz — there is a lot more scary stuff hanging over the world today. Since the end of the cold war and the rise of the Internet, we’ve lost the walls and the superpowers that together kept the world’s problems more contained. Today, smaller and smaller units can wreak larger and larger havoc — and whatever havoc is wreaked now gets spread faster and farther than ever before.
That is why we have to solve the big problems in our control, not postpone them or pretend that more lobby-driven, lowest-common-denominator solutions are still satisfactory. A crisis is a terrible thing to waste, but a reprieve and a breathing spell — which is what we’re having right now — is a really terrible thing to waste. We don’t want to look back on this moment and say: How could we have gone back to business as usual and petty political gridlocks with all those black swans circling around us? Then we will really kick ourselves.
Okay comrades, this is an article from the famous New York Time columnist Thomas Friedman published digitally on June 11th. As being part of this whole planet, we may just take some responsibilities on making it better. Well, maybe it's your fault as well as mine. right?

A Long Journey to Retrieval
As I tried downloading a clip of Lakers highlights through Megaupload this morning, the site told me to type in my user name and password. This is unusual because they were memorized automatically by Megaupload months ago, and as I filled in the boxes and tapped enter, a pop-up popped up and said wrong username and password... that was when I finally realized I got hacked... So I spent the next 2 hours trying to retrieve my account by contacting Megaupload multiple times, but only to receive an email requesting me to send over proofs or evidence of purchase (btw, a lifetime premium account is $199USD), so I did, now all I can do is wait..
Hike
I called Chris and told him to get over here and do a hike with me into Yang Ming Shan. He came over at 2:00pm and we set out at 2:15. We followed a steep slope up the mountain originating from a road close to Steve's house, and then when the road began to decrease in width, they became hard to walk on with all the weeds and sticks in the way. I brought with me a day pack including a full 1 liter Nalgene water bottle. Chris was let prepared and had to get water from me throughout the trip. We hiked to 文化大學 after going through a few different trails and came down on the 天母古道. By the time we reached home, it was already 5:40pm, the trip was tiresome, but well worth the effort and time spent.
Me Putting an old Kodak camera into good use:
Easy in, Easy out.
Who is he?
Mmmm, I'm confused.
A New Beginning
Tomorrow, Jazz @ Lakers Game one will erupt in the sell-out Staples Center. The Road to Repeat continues, Jazz's team statistics are a little down from last year, so since we owned the Jazz team last year, this year's Jazz shouldn't be too hard to clean-up. According to ESPN Sports, Andrew Bynum was reported to have a tear in his knee, but the tear shouldn't be too severe because he has been playing with a small tear for the whole season and now the very small tear only turned into a "small" tear. Game 1 starts at 3:30am tomorrow morning, let us all miss a night of sleep for a very good cause,
the moment is here,
let us dine and shine.

Passed: 05/01/10
Done
Woke up at 8am this morning and started setting up my microphone and laptop for the oral presentation. My grandpa came at 9am and we started the oral interview, to my surprise, my grandpa's answers to my questions were quite truthful and emotional. He didn't cry in front of me or anything, but knowing him for so long, I can hear the sadness and seriousness behind his voice. He mentioned life was hard for his village and I feel bad now since I told him to not "talk too much" before the interview. After the interview was completed, he started remembering more events regarding his early childhood, but I was unable to record it due to the fact that we were eating at a restaurant. My grandpa is usually very talkative and has a great sense of humor, but this morning, he was dead serious and I was glad he chose to take this seriously. Thankfully right after the interview was out of the picture he started laughing and told me to pay him 200nt for asking him so many questions (he said 15nt per question but gave me a discount at the end). Below I've decided to attach a download link to this morning's interview:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=P45JF62S
Please delete the digital file within 24 hours, the file will be available for direct purchase through Eddie You at TAS.
Second Round Here We Come
If you guys have been checking your facebook what I am talking about right now should be fairly obvious. The Lakers had just eliminated the Thunders and are going into the Conference Semi-Finals. The final score was 95-94, concluded by Gasol's tip in from Kobe Bryant's miss with .5 seconds left to play. Kobe played extremely well today, he carried the team behind his back and brought us to the second round.
Kudos to the Lakers, who finally managed to play through some tough whistles and a crowd that was reaching "We Believe" proportions. They were given multiple opportunities to fold, but finally displayed the mental toughness and grit that will be absolutely required if a repeat title is in the cards. Tonight, they had to find new ways to win, because the usual stuff wasn't working out. In a game full of strangeness, the ending provided the strangest finish of all, with Kobe being saved by his teammates, instead of the other way around.
Watch the final moment of the game:
And tonight we shall drink, "We LOVE Paul Gasol":
P.S. Jazz vs Lakers starts tomorrow, there are still more battles ahead of us, we will take on them one by one: THE ROAD to REPEAT.
Have a great day, I know I will.

Bash: 4/30/10
Stress
Thinking back now, I could hardly imagine 2 days ago I was still capable of typing up a 30 minutes blog post at 10pm. All of a sudden, every assignment from every subject seems to be due right after the weekend is over. There's the Asian Studies Unit 5 test, the oral interview, the English soundtrack project, the Mandarin book report, the Physics quiz, the Math test coming up, and all the extra curricular works from tutors. These assignments are not only eating away my weekend, but also slowly evaporating my high school years.
314 Venture Crew
Despite the overloading assignments, I was still able to attend my first "boy scout" meeting last night (which I didn't realize it was a 2-hour meeting). Everyone involved seemed pretty nice and approachable. I was introduced to the crew, participated in a crew position election, then we did the Tenderfoot Requirement: As many sit-ups, push-ups, pull-ups you can do, plus a 1/4 mile run in the end. By the time all this ended, it was already 8:30pm, I did homework for the rest of the night.
Package Arrival
On my way home, picked up the Cold Steel Double Agent 2 knife I bought online, with a Lansky knife sharpener and I few knife catalogs I received for free. I was extremely impressed with the Aus-8 Japanese made steel and the serrations cut through layers of paper like butter. The knife sharpener was not that great, it only sharpens plain edge blades and unusable with serrations, but it's not like I paid 500 dollars for a sharpening stone.
Double Agent 2 SESS
And the Lansky Knife sharpener:
And I strongly believe the Venture Crew meeting and the Knife exploring last night were direct causes of my failed Mandarin Test this morning.
P.S. Filling in my Venture Crew application ATM (at the moment)

Slash: 4/28/10
How should I start this
Ah, i thought i might have an hour to write this but seeing that it's already 10:52, I'll make it brief. As always, the start for a long voyage is always crucial for the team mentally and emotionally, here we go.
Woke up at 7:30am after my alarm clock failed me for the 3rd time this week (yes, that's 3 straight days) and speedily dressed myself and brushed my teeth, then off I went to school.
Took a quick nap in Mandarin class and hopped on atdhe.net for a live stream of the Mavs vs. Dallas game, the quality was so disturbing I decided to return back to my corner and finish my English project (yes, in Mandarin class). Lunch time finally arrived 4 long dreadful hours later, it was finally time for the: Cheer the hell out for the Lakers game!
Cheer the hell out for the Lakers game
Few of our school's hardcore-Lakers-cheer-members landed in one of the front tables and got ready for a long survival battle. The game turned out to be a total massacre, the Lakers led 14-2 run with 6:25 left in 1st quarter, what a killing spree. Watched half the game in the cafeteria and the other half in multiple classes (atdhe quality forgiven). The Lakers played great, in fact one of the best games throughout the regular & post season, below are just some numbers for you to WOW at:
27 assists for the Lakers
56 points in the paint
Only 7 Fastbreak points for the Thunders (a WTF compared to Game 3&4)
A 1.21 Points-Per-Possession for the Lakers :0 (avg. 1.00 before)
Awesome 111-87 victory over the young Kevin Durant Team
By the way, when was the last time you saw our 118kg Ron Artest did this:
FIVE STAR RONNY!!
and just to remind you what this is all about, the road and determination to REPEAT (with
Obama's new affection)
Slash:
As some of you may know, I am starting a new hobby: Tactical Knives. It all started on a night last week when our apartment's cleaner (who turns out to be my dad's friend) walked right into my house at 9:00pm with a cigarette and "Where's your dad?", talking about a heart-attack....
So I decided to equip myself with some non/lethal weapons. Next day I went to Ebay and got myself a Benchmade Pika II Tactical Blade and a can of Mace pepper spray.
Then later went back on Ruten (Asian Ebay) and got myself a few knives from Gerber, Cold Steel, and Boker.
If you feel like better equiping yourself from your cleaner or sexual offenders, please visit the below sites for more reference:
Benchmade
Cold Steel
Boker
Spyderco
But if you do buy any knives please do not bring them to school unless a suspension is acceptable either for you or your parents.
Now I shaw end my first of my many future update posts with:
