Re-direct

How long has it been since my last post? Damn, I've forgotten as well.

For those of you still interested in following Tony Redgrave's chronicles though, note that I've moved to Twitter. You can find me here. I'll be back blogging, soon enough. 

What's in a Name?

Its been a relaxing day today,so I've decided to make another post for the week.

A colleague of mine asked me "What is Aurora?"

Which is the reason I'm doing this post. Now,I only realised today that many people dont actually know what 'Aurora' means, some have a very clear knowledge while the rest ~hmmm.. let's not go there...some girls even thought I took up the name after the Disney Princess,Sleeping Beauty - Princess Aurora @ Rose.. but; the real reason is different.

..Aurora @ Aurora Borealis..

Aurora is actually another name for The Northern & Southern Polar Lights. They are also referred to as polar auroras. In northern latitudes the effect is known as the aurora borealis, named after the Roman Goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas in 1621.

It is more commonly known as the Northern Polar lights as it is only visible from the northern hemisphere.The aurora borealis most often occurs from September to October and from March to April. The northern lights have had a number of names throughout history. The Cree people call this phenomenon the "Dance of the Spirits." Aurorae can be spotted throughout the world. It is most visible closer to the poles due to the longer periods of darkness and the magnetic field.

Its southern counterpart, the aurora australis or the southern polar lights, has similar properties, but is only visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica, South America, or Australasia.

Following are some more images of the Northern Lights @ Aurora..

Life as it is...

Now, its been sometime since i've made a post...and sorry for that Tony, its been hectic here..
In fact,the purpose of this post is to share lil'thought on the lessons that i've learnt all through my Voyage in Campus till this very moment..
(and counting).. **wink**


24th may 2005..
The freakin day i stepped foot into this freakin place..n that's wen it all started.....damn i should have just left when i had the chance,no matter how much it would have hurt some people..being here, I've seen & I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH....i guess its just meant to be..

• "AIMST is a place that you CAN survive, if you have what it takes. And what it takes is a really thick skin, ability to go temporarily deaf, and adequate hardworking-ness....because being extra hard-working will get you nothing but unnecessary work from your lecturers and "intelligent" friends."

• An angel to your eyes could as easily be a devil by your side...
  It does not pay to place judgement on people. Someone infamous may be your angel in disguise. And someone with a patented halo may just have hidden horns, a tail and a pitchfork. So,beware...or as Prof.Mad-Eye-Moody will say : Constant Vigilance.. LoL !!

• How u dress up & carry yourself is in your own hands. If people comment about it, they're either jealous that they cant cant do it OR they're threatened that you're being a competition for them. Both guys & girls, for that matter. So be proud :D

• If Malaysia is going through some political problems,leave it to those can do something bout it, coz at this point, you've gotta play your own politics to show where u stand in these ignorant-do-as-i-say crowd...

• Do what you've gotta do, & say what you've gotta say..even though sometimes it might sting some people in their a**..in reality, no one cares a sh*t if they sting yours..coz selfishness is an essential item here,if u wanna survive longer...

• Sometimes shit happens in life. Sometimes you end up losing what you care about. Things NEVER go back to the way they were no matter how much time has passed. Don't kid yourself that it will. And remember, its sometimes way better that it DIDN'T go back to the way things were. If you lose something, either its too good for you, or you are too good for it.

• Loyalty is dead. So is Faithfulness. There are no such thing. They're just words in the dictionary. So stop thinking that every single person whom "smiles & says I'm always here for you" actually mean it..some really do, be wise to see who is who...

• Some people seem adult and advise you on how to lead your life. Ultimately, the decision is yours, on how that should be done. These "adults" may or may not be severely screwed up in their own ways. Listen, because they believe they mean well.

• If a friend / acquaintance is going the wrong way,Tell them once, if they are worth a lot to you...that's it..if they've got brains,they'll stop & think twice bout it..and if they don't, they deserve what they're getting themselves into..so leave it.

• Everyone is a hypocrite. so, don't be shy to admit that you're one as well..

• Friends.. There are few people around u whom really look after you, ur well wishers to be exact..find them, be with them, and you'll do just fine...

Now, these are just my thought and experience,
think twice before making any conclusions alright.. **wink**
Thats it then, till my next post.. Ciaoz y'aLL..

On Hiatus

As you all might've noticed, lately there's been no post or interesting posts on 'For Tony Redgrave' lately.

I'm suffering from a chronic case of writer's block, and lately work has been piling upwards no matter how much I seem to complete by the end o' the week. Also, my life is going through some major re-arrangements, and I'm still trying to sort it out.

This post about my hiatus should've been up from January onwards, but I find myself constantly avoiding logging into my blog account.

I thank those faithful readers that still continue to read my blog, and hopefully I'll get things sorted out a.s.a.f.p.

RE 5 New Trailer!

With RE 5's release date drawing ever so near, Capcom has decided to heat things up a little by with the new trailer entitled 'New World'.

In it features Wesker, Chris (duh~), some liquid tentacle-y thingy, Sheva, and.... a giant squid. Watching it has hardened my resolve to get a PS3, no matter how deep the hole it'll burn in my pocket.

Capcom leaves us in suspense in the last few seconds, Wesker is seen standing beside the mysterious figure in the bird mask; and according to him Chris knows the figure as well. My guess is that it might be Jill Valentine, who knows?

Enjoy the trailer below, courtesy of IGN.
