Yesterday was on duty so nothing much to talk about. I did write some lyrics for a song but with my brother at home I will wait till he gets out then I try to put some melody to it. Also wrote down many topics that I may want to write here, so for all discussions or questions, feel free to ask on my icq, 26163762.

Today had to rehearse for the show we gonna put up at the Lion's Home (old folks home) which we gonna visit this Fri. Wasnt veri fruitful, though we did laugh a lot. With the office carpet being shampooed. Today was such a slacking day! After work I went to buy some bets with Jiaxing, then chatted with him on my way to the pool. He had many problems lately with his boss....hope things get better for him. As for me, I went to swim at the Yishun Swimming Complex. It's the start of my training campaign and hope by the time I ROD I ought to be below 60kg. I suppose that will make me look a lot better. So for a start I swam 25 laps...wasn't at all tired. Finished it in 35 mins though...kinda slow.haha. The pool was real cramped...so many people.

Ok. Today's topic is "My Favourite Magic Spells".

The concept of magic spells to me has nothing to do with Harry Potter, to me it's more like those spells you find in games, some common ones being Fire, Water etc. Ok. There are a few spells I really find it cool which I have come across in the comics I read and the games I play.

1. Raijin - The Hero's Lightning.

Raijin is a spell you find in DragonQuest's comics (Dai's Adventure and Emblem of Roto series). It is basically a lightning spell. The only big hooha about it is that the spell is only usable by the Heroes. (Dai's Adventure has 1 hero only, while Emblem of Roto has 3) The real cool thing about it is that I have always like things associated with lightning. Pikachu is another example...haha. Anyway Raijin is the first form, then Gigajin is the 2nd and Megajin is the 3rd. In Dai's Adventure, Dai (the hero) has pretty lousy magic stats so he can only use Raijin. However his scabbard has the ability of 'charging' magic to its max form, so his most powerful move is Megajin Avan Slash. In Emblem of Roto, the 3 heroes are able to summon Gigajin in the last few books. However Megajin is only seen twice, firstly at the battle of Aliahan against Beast King Gnom and at the final showdown with Imajin. Megajin is only summonable with the Emblem of Roto and the mana of many people gathered.

2. Fire Tornado

I first saw this magic in Phatasy Star IV. To summon this you had to have 2 persons use Fire and Tornado together and they will comine their magic to give you a powerful flare tornado. After that in Emblem of Roto, you can see that Porom the Sage with his powerful combination magic he used it once at the battle at Solar Mirror Lake to fight the snow monsters.

3. Bahamut

This is very obvious. In FF4,6,7,8,9,10 we can always see Bahamut....a powerful dragon with a powerful fire breath. In FF4, you had to fight against it. Unfortunately, when it counts to zero from five, it unleashes it's Megaflare which deals 9999 damage and decimate your party. To counter it, I tried the magic Reflect and it worked! Hahaha. From there onwards, defeating Bahamut in any of the games was simple.

4. Behoma

A healing magic in Dai's Adventure and Emblem of Roto. I like it because in Dai's Adventure the princess used it to heal the face of her protector and I do hope i have such a magic too. If I had I would be the best doctor around! Instant healing to the max HP you know.

5. Blizzard

First came across this magic in FF4. Nothing nice to see in FF4. However in Shining Force it was a great magic to use. The sound of it was very nice.... in Shining Force it's a tornardo of ice and the 'kin kin kin' sound was real cool.

6. Rula

This magic is a transportation magic. It's like Egress in Shining Force, except you can go to anywhere you have been before with this magic. As long as your mind can recall how the place looked like. Yep. I mean if I had this, I would have saved alot on transport isn't it? There are many forms of Rula, in Dai's Adventure there is this LiliRula which lets you catch up to your partners if you got lost. Then in Emblem of Roto, there is this OmegaRula where you can seal the body of some enemy up (in the story case, it was Imajin the final boss) and send his soul into some far dimension...I would have done this for those who deserve to die horribly.

7. "Babalaba!"
In DragonBall this magic was used by the evil wizard Babbiti to change the environment to whichever he liked. Wow. If I could use this I would bought a home and put it on a island like Kame House. Sounds fun you know!

8. Piggy
In FF4 there is this magic where you can change any of your party (or all) or some enemies to pigs. They will still use their weapons but they will have pretty lousy defence and look damn cute....imagine if I could change people I dun like into pigs!

9. Ioragon
Ioragon is actually a combined magic of Iorazu and Begiragon. It's the ultimate explosion spell plus the ultimate flash heat spell in Emblem of Roto. Of course the damage is 2x ultimate...haha.

10. Meteo / Comet
FF4 most powerful spell. Emblem of Roto most powerful spell. What to say. If scientist were right to say that a meteorite brought about the downfall of the dinosaurs I guess you know the power of the spell.... It's just so damn cool cos everything just get destroyed into dust.

A elderly man on the surface. a child at heart. I, for one, still harbour fantasies of the young and innocent. I feel that if magic (not those performing type) really exist! It's a matter of trying to gather the correct energy for the magic. If Einstein was right about everything composed of energy, and if we could alter energy at will, I suppose magic is not a fantasy anymore. How are we gonna do that. I think it's tremendous mind power....perhaps if you could exert all 100% potential of the brain (hey scientists say that we only use less than 1% of our brain at any time) i think magic, psychic power are all possible.
