Back from the Dead

I got back from Queensland yesterday, and I'm just posting to let you know that I have managed to arrive home safely.

It was a really cool trip. Don't worry, I'll be posting photos up later. In short, we spent three nights at Yamba and three nights at Surfer's Paradise. Yamba was a sleepy little town, but had really nice people. We must have been the only Asians there, and I looked damn hard for some other Asians tourists, but no go. Fishing was great, except we were still noobs and the really big fish, we lost. Damn! But we caught this manta ray thingy, so it wasn't a total waste. Surfer's Paradise was...well...a paradise. This was the the sixth time I stayed there and I felt right at home. The beaches, the shops, the nightlife...it never brings you down. On a side note, they only had a 5 person room, but our group had 10 people. So what did we do? What Asians would do. Cram 10 people into a 5 person room. I got lucky this time and slept on the couch. More on that later.

Chrono Symphonic Remix Project
This came out on the 3rd of January, while I was away on holidays. So right now I'm online just to get this soundtrack. Chrono Trigger is a SNES game, created by Squaresoft of Final Fantasy fame. This little RPG was a little gem and quickly became a cult hit, even after the SNES days were long gone. Despite the flashy graphics of systems like XBox or Playstation 2, the game focused on the important things, a intriguing storyline, innovative gameplay and a wonderful musical track that complemented the game. With its quirky and interesting characters, it still remains as a must-play in today's super-high-resolution graphics games. Andrew Lee Triplett wrote a screenplay for the Chrono Trigger movie. Obviously, the movie was never going to get off the ground, but Triplett instead moved on to the soundtrack, where he collaborated with some of the best remixers at OCRemix to create an orchestral movie soundtrack to complement the script. So do a favour and visit this site and download a couple of tracks, or the whole soundtrack if you like.
