Happy Birrrthdaaay Niksuu!!

Happy birthday you crazy bugger Nik! That was a smashing great party last night complete with a very nice guitar set - tell your friend that he can really sing! It was so nonsense last night all thanks to Jimmy's stupid bag filled with bottles of magic mystery liquids. But enough with the words, time for the photos!

As usual we got lost trying to find the chalet, no thanks to some confusing directions given on the phone by 2 people. -_-


Finally we arrive at Nik's chalet mansion which was fucking huge! It also has a big lawn with a beautiful view of the sea.


Our wonderful leader striking up a pose~


This guy below sold his soul to Jimmy for 1 ringgit and so he is carrying Jimmy's heavy bag of mystery liquids.


A while later Nik asked us to go pick flowers for some unknown reason (actually you can see the reason in the photo). But that wasn't shocking....the most shocking part was that Jimmy had some fucking gloves in his bag to do this!! Look closely at the photo...


Really no comments about what Nik is doing...


Jimmy and his new gecko pet.


And now Jimmy shows off his latest fashion accessory :D


I was so bo liao that I took a photo of Jimmy taking a photo of his pet.


On the table is the Circle of Death, a card game taught to us by Jimmy where everyone loses and the winner is the biggest loser.


Nik setting up his instruments and equipments.


And together with his good army friend, they belted out a bunch of great songs! Ask us for the videos.


Nik ended off his guitar set with some nice solos.

Happy Birthday to NICK!!!

heaheaheahea!!!!

It was a good party for us and our dear friend just turned 21... time for the trials... Are you,Nik "BeatlesFreakHippieUncledAndAuntiedMusician" worthy to join the sick morbid ranks of Launch+?? HAHAHAHA!

Time to take the trials! Next month, make a date with us and we will drop by. For the fact that we are so seasoned, I suggest a trial that's laced with a lot more challenging tasks... heahaehe... Jim, say we bring a bottle of vodka down, get the whole team in, get smack in 3 shots minimum with coke and then have Nik play best outta 3 matches back to back with us? :D

Oh well... yum... Good luck with your girl Nik!!! She grooves!! :D

Tekken tribute to Jang Niksu

Tekken tribute to Jang Niksu.

When i started out playing tekken, i saw this group of people at the T5 machines who would be pretty much destroying the competition, and among them, was this mishima user, who was doing very weird things. Then i realised, it was the thing i saw in videos, but had never ever seen in person. Wavedashing. Wow. To me, who couldn't even sidestep properly then, it was like looking at some... some....... some....... korean....

So as i started playing with the tksg crew, through jac's friendliness, i plucked up the courage to challenge this crazy expert kazuya who was causing the lights at TKA to flicker with all his electrics. I remember i used baek then, rather cheap, d/b4 winning me quite a few games. Of course he rocked me for the large, large, large part. Even while i was gaping in awe at his total ownage, he managed to impress me more with his casual and friendly demeanor.

He doesn't play the game so much, since then, but still rocks people with a casualness that puts the general populace to great shame. Not only does he boast excellent technique, but he's always offering a friendly presence to people, and i really liked that post early in this blog, where he believes in himself playing a part in developing, and being responsible for, the tekken community.

He does up great videos, goes the extra mile to add a personal touch to them. Its not tekken vids anymore, its tksg vids. Community vids. We remember the times spent on those game more than the games themselves.

A toast then, to this rocking fella, on this day when he holds his 21st birthday party. Coming of age in the figurative sense, but to all his friends this person has always been a man, a man of manly proportions. Sorry i couldn't stay till cake cutting, hope you had (are having) a great time. GG!

(I only do this for 21st birthdays. lol)

PS: I still prefer Nik to Nick.

Statement of Truth

Something different here.. but yea i was tempted to do a long ass tekken post too ^^'

I know its not just the tksg, launch+ peeps reading this blog
so this is what im going to say

First up, this goes out to all of you and you know who you are

Some of you feel that you have been targeted by Launch+ and that you really gonna train yourself up to beat all our asses one day

Why are you being called a card coward, why is your so called friendly gestures being ridiculed, why are you being hunted down in the arcade?

Why? Simply coz you are one (one way or another)
Just that we don't need to sugarcoat our advice..
once upon a time, we did try to give good advice in a nice manner so that your frail tekken mind might be able to take heed and go along the right path. (come to think of it, Jac still gives good genuine advice in a very nice manner)

But very often it happens that oversized egos tend to stand in the way and all you are thinking of is how best to cheese a win off us or how best to annoy us and try to act all mighty smug when you fluke something (how do i know its a fluke? coz if it wasn't we would be the ones who will be finding all sorts of nonsense excuses in order not to have money matches with you right?)

So when we give you a good solid tekken spanking and instead of the kind sugar coated sweet mumblings of praise over the internet we are blunt and straightfoward, at times cheeky and even arrogant..

Whether it be a profound tekken quote from noobkken too deep for your comprehension ability, a long range shit stirring howitzer from darkstep -_-, good solid tekken advice from Brutal or straight up slap in your face remark by TuGGa
What we are doing, is actually, believe or not, for your own damn good

We've been there, we've done that, we understand the system better, so when we think that certain things are important, you bet your ass it is and will be

But thanks to inflated egos who can't admit their own mistakes and returns the nice advice with idiotic retaliations. Some of us can't be bothered to give nice friendly fake smiling advice anymore. (Do note that the flames dispensed by Launch+ in the past year or two are generally quite mild imo, as compared to many other locations)

You don't have to be pretend you are our bestest buddies, you don't need to be fanboy no.1 and try to lick our scrotums every chance you get, you don't need to pay us protection money to play in bugis

Play the damn game, try and enjoy it for what it is really worth, enjoy the challenges, enjoy your losses (pretty damn hard to do so i'll admit), enjoy your wins, enjoy your close encounters, enjoy the atmosphere, enjoy some of the shit talking, enjoy being a man and use your card against better players, enjoy your cheese (if you enjoy cheese even when tables are turned), enjoy the rivalry

and you might finally start enjoying tekken the way its meant to be, you'll also find alot of nice side-benefits may start appearing, like earning real respect without being greasy and trying to sucker up to anybody, actual tekken skills improving and not relying on some bastard move for every fluke you achieve, who knows you might become an internationall reknown player one day, real adrenaline rushes and heart stopping matches that you'll never forget! and the list goes on...


While i could keep typing, its time to wrap this session up boys and girls.. don't forget to check for updates as we will be introducing especially for the lesser informed, 'Proper Tekken Ettiquette SG ver1.0'

And remember! you can't please everybody but if you'd like to donate some good solid cold hard cash or funds for the wonderful advice i've just dispensed, i'd be pleased! : )

Supper? Part 3

Walking towards our destination...


Our head puchong kia :D


Tugga analysing the menu for strategies on what to order.


Now we wait for the food to arrive.
Jimmy thinks that staring at them will make the food come faster...


At this point the 2 of them are so hungry they could just eat each other :O


TA-DA - our food arrives!
Jimmy is proud of the orange lao sai he ordered randomly.


Grabbing some of that ayam murtabak...


We end off with a photo of Tugga about to eat a scoop of orange lao sai

FOREIGN INVASION PLAN.

Alright, I think its high time we come up with an intinery breakdown of the whole Foreign Invasion, with food, games, entertainment and 'shelter' in consideration. Those coming into Singapore would be so kind to just email me the dates they are heading in, I will log everything down onto an excel spreadsheet. Again, these dates would be more or less confirmed by now but please give me projected dates of arrival and departure.

I think it would help everyone in the TKSG community plan their time better for the coming "EVENT" :D Anyhow, I'm hooking up with my sister who's working at Hotel 81 Lavender to get good room rates. In any case, I've got my house which can put up with 2 guys for a few days, no problem. Any other offers for sleep over?

For Des again, I think its only right for the guys in SG to chip in as much as possible, Azi suggested a good 100 bucks each from 10 guys should be able to cover the flight plus accomodation? I mean this is up to each individual's descretion but it would help a lot and Des would so have to sell his soul to us after this :D Those coming in from overseas won't have to worry as you are incurring costs on your own already, but any friendly donation wouldn't be declined :D

Supper? Part 2

Instead of eating the usual stuff, we decided to experiment...
Like eating rice at 1 am! :D


I have no idea what Tugga ordered but it was pretty good shit.
Neslo peng on the side as a tribute to ChoBo~


My chicken pattaya...it was pretty good stuff surprisingly :D
