Identity Crisis

This is tokuAsia, a creativity site which is now also a film production.

This is TOKU, or www.toku.asia. I believe this is a sport & music event/activity-planning company from what I can interpret with Babelfish translation.

This is Project LEO, an abandoned attempt of creating Singapore’s 1st Tokusatsu hero in which certain members of tokuAsia were involved in.

This is Project LEO, a New Zealand-based “construction and refurbishment programme at Tauranga Hospital.”

This is Gan Meng Yeow (or Fujimiya), one of the founders/admins of tokuAsia.

This is GAN (or Global Action Network), an animal/environmental saving organization located in Canada (wow!).

Anakin Red

I discovered this fan-edited video while being off-task while I was reading some Star Wars stuff in Animation. It’s basically the Obi-Wan VS Anakin duel from Episode III, only that Anakin uses a red lightsaber. It certainly makes a him a bit more menacing in a sense.

The Blue-ObiWan VS Red-Anakin also gave a small reminiscent of this LEGO fanvideo.

Kevin

As you all know, my real name is Kevin. I’m not sure if having this name is fortunate anymore.

I think had my parents knew better English, I wouldn’t be known as Kay today, let alone Kevin. Instead, I was named by my uncle’s mother (it’s an obscure story for perhaps another time). Out of all the names…

Now, during my time in elementary, I would always be pretty much the only Kevin in the class each year. The only exception of this was in 5th Grade where my friend, Kevin Yee (of CHASE fame), was in my class. In a summer day camp in 2004, I met a Kevin Chen.

Okay, knowing at least 2 Kevins is alright with me.

It wasn’t until high school/my teen years did I realize that the name was an extremely overused one. Let’s see, there’s a Kevin Leung, Kevin Hui, Kevin Liao, Kevin Ngo, Kevin Do, Kevin He, another Kevin Wong (plus a billion more), Kevin Ren… I’m sure there are some other Kevins I’ve met but I can’t remember at the moment.

Knowing nearly 10 Kevins. This was getting ridiculous.

At this point, I was getting really annoyed (and still am) with the amount of Kevins out there to the point where I’m just like “NO MORE KEVINS!!” and really started hating the name. To those of you reading this, I dare recommend you to go out to some very public place, scream out “KEVIN!!” and see how many guys will give attention or probably come up to you.

What’s even more sad is that now there are five Kevins (myself included) in my English class. One person even gave us the nickname “Backstreet Kevins”. When I go to university, there’ll probably be like 20 Kevins in one lecture.

Henceforth, this is the main reason why I prefer to be known as Kay.

Check out that crazy smile!

One can almost hear him laughing like a maniac

I don’t know why but I find this photo to be hilarious.

Here’s where it originated from.

I WILL NOT BOW

One of the coolest fanvideos I’ve seen in my life.

Oh, and Happy New Year.

Christmas 2009 – Mr. Bean

It’s not the holiday without Mr. Bean

Merry Christmas.

Christmas 2009 – Yule Log

Play this with some Christmas tunes from the 60’s-80’s (and turn off the video’s audio) and you’ll get the same experience I have. Makes it more Christmasy that way.

Christmas 2009 – Santa Claus on Twitter

With the creation and functions of Twitter, one definitely has the advantage of impersonating a fictional character. One big example is definitely (oh, come on, I’m sure you know since it’s in the post title) Santa Claus, or billions of Santa Clauses. Here are two Santas that stood out to me more than others, and have lots to say about:

SantaClaus
I first discovered this Santa-on-Twitter last year when reading about it in my local free-newspaper, 24 Hours. It said something about how all of a suddenly people started acting nice ever since the man himself started following people.

Regarding this Santa, I personally feel that this is the most honest and realistic one out of all the accounts. He would post updates of what’s happening at the North Pole where it’s perfectly imaginable, and would even update during his trip around the world (sometimes including pictures)!

This year was kind of a… I don’t know what happened to him since he didn’t update since November 27th and his personal webpage is completely down. Now, this may sound corny/stupid, but it actually made me really worry as it’s almost like he died. Although I’m sure his “excuse” for this is that he’s been busy, as he once had said to me before. Well, I hope he’ll be back soon.

So hands down, this Santa is the REAL Santa Claus.

SantaClaus25
This Santa Claus… I really don’t like. Okay, granted, he was like the Santa Claus everyone knows… last year. Now he’s all SPAM. I mean, look at his recent updates!

“Ohoho! We’re having a good time! <insert something fun here>”
“PLEASE CALL ME AND I WILL ANSWER YOU LIVE…andyouhavetopaymoneyforit.”
“Ay!! We’re so busy!!”
“LIVE PHONE CALLS FROM ME!!”

When I first discovered this Santa, there was always that feeling where something isn’t right. I can’t really explain here, but it’s like this Santa is… a fraud. Or something like that. His forum (former web link on his profile) used to have a link to Rudolph25’s Twitter page, but it leads you to a suspended page. Oops! That right there gives more to what I think of SantaClaus25.

Now his “main” web link is all CALL ME! CALL ME! CALL ME! =D andpayforittoo. I mean, it sounds fun but seriously, I’m sure Santa Claus would not want to be paid for calling & exciting people.

Clever marketing scheme, though.

Oh, and this Santa tried getting me to follow him after I told the original Santa about my concern of his inactivity. Uh, no thank you.

Some other interesting Santas, which I have a few words about:

RealSantaClaus
Whoever made this Santa is an idiot.

CallsFromSanta
This is SPAM Santa. Much worse than SantaClaus25.

NorthPoleCEO
Uh.. at least he tried? He has a blog. That’s cool. He’s on the original Santa’s helper list. That’s also a plus.

Oh_Santa_Baby
I find it really interesting that this Santa sounds very much like a young person, has high knowledge of icons and celebrities, likes to act like James Bond, and is from California (or Canada, whatever “CA” is referring to).

[I forgot the username]
There was that one Santa Claus who randomly followed me the other day, then suddenly disappeared a day later or so.

KOREASANTA
I find it highly amusing that there’s a Korean Santa, or at least a Santa Claus that can speak Korean.

There’s a bajillion more Santas I can comment on, but you can find the rest on your own.

And be sure to welcome the man, too, when he arrives at your location.

Christmas 2009 – ♫Christmas time has come to town~!♫

Christmas 2009 – Garfield on CHRISTMAS

Taken from his Guide to Everything, here’s what Garfield has to say about the hoilday:

Forget chestnuts . . . I prefer corn dogs roasting on an open fire. Christmas is my favorite time of the year. After all, it features three of the things I love most: food, presents, and more food.

Then there are the special holiday traditions . . . like Jon’s annual decorating disasters (he’s spent five of the last six Christmas Eves in the ER) and Christmas on the farm (that’s when Jon’s dad wears his dress overalls).

And who can forget the charming TV shows that celebrate the season? Classics like “Hairy Larry, the Spider Who Saved Christmas” and “Stewey, the Anal-Retentive Elf.”

It sometimes seems that Christmas has become too commercial, but I know that the season really is bigger than the biggest package under the tree. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, “Christmas. It’s not the giving. It’s not the getting. It’s the loving.”
