Dubai - 19 Dec

2007-12-26T02:39:00.001+08:00

Hello,

Arrived on 19 Dec morning at 4.30am Dubai time. Reached home at bout 6 am after the nightmarish check-out at immigration. Weather was cold with strong wind. On went my new coat! Haha...
Saw some city lights and the sun was already rising by the time we reached home. Had breakfast of some sort and unpacked. Tried to settle down but was too tired to do anything else.
I don't remember much of the day but we went to our very first shopping spree at Mall of the Emirates (MOE) which is nothing compared to Pavillion. Humongous is the word we use a lot here. Nothing in moderation. Didn't concentrate on where we're going but it was a nice mall. Had lunch at Paul's. A very nice french restaurant cafe. Joined by Dev and Juliana; forgot to mentioned that they picked us up that morning from the airport. They have a Porsche Cayenne, super cool man! We
"just" have a BMW 3 Series. Haha.. planning to seat in both cars over the next few days.
They decided to stay up through the night as Jen and Kev will be arriving on 20 Dec morning, same time as us the previous day. All the best to them. Had a simple dinner, don't remember what though. Hehehe... Got a call from Dev and Juliana to meet them up for drinks.
We were just putting on our jeans when we were told to dress up. I mean, it's just drinks at a bar for goodness sake! Apparently, they do things differently here. They drive on the wrong side of the car and wrong side of the road for one thing already. Now for a 20 minutes drink we had to put on our best gear. We were already so tired by then as we didn't rest much during the day.
So, we changed to clubbing gear, all black with heels and dangly earrings and off we go. For one thing, the city lights are nice, all high rising buildings and all very bright. They light to play with lighting here. Burj is gorgeous at night by the way.
The club is called Bar 44, located at the 44th floor of Grovner House hotel. Super cool man as it's the highest floor.
By the way, we had Earl Grey tea! Hahaha... with tidbits of olives (super juicy and delicious) and mixed nuts. I have to tell you that the view from the top is great! The lounge singer is good too. It was Juliana's birthday the next day, so the lounge singer sang a very sexy birthday song. Never had that happening to me before.
We left about 1am, I think. I was already half dead with sleep by that time and they have to wake up to pick Jen and Kev up. We wanted to go too but couldn't wake up in time.
That's all till they arrive in 6 hours time. Tata...

It's christmas but i dont feel jolly

2007-12-25T19:16:00.000+08:00

Ho Ho Ho
Yeah rite... having hangover from it
I could say this is one of the most boring christmas ever
Downright boring

While I busied myself with a bottle of Heineken and a jug of Sangria and Mojito, I felt lonely out of the sudden. And why is that? Everyone I see at the place I'm hanging out has a partner of their own....

ppft! bah~

Friends with benefits

Aku punya teman
Teman sepermainan
Dimana ada dia selalu ada aku

Dia memang manis
Dan juga baik hati
Dan dia slalu ada waktu
Untuk membantuku

Namun aku bingung
Ketika dia bilang cinta
Dan dia juga katakan
Tuk ingin jadi kekasihku

Cukuplah saja berteman denganku
Janganlah kau meminta lebih
Kutak mungkin mencintaimu
Kita berteman saja
Teman tapi mesra

Aku memang suka pada dirimu
Namun aku ada yang punya
Lebih baik kita berteman
Kita berteman saja
Teman tapi mesra

After a loonng hiatus

2007-05-22T09:15:00.000+08:00

Damn... it's been nine months since my last post. I just have nothing to blog or post about after the arrival of Dookie (Piper's son) and moving house to Bandar Utama in July. Everything is messed up from housemates and work. Lemme recall what had happened in the last 9 months.

After moving house from Puchong to Bandar Utama, the traffic from my house to KL Sentral is considerably shorter than of Puchong to KL Sentral. I even bought a Prosumer camera for my birthday, Canon S3IS. Not even two months down the road, I've sold it and opted for a DSLR because it can do what I want when the S3IS cant do it.

Nothing much happened apart from that. Been goin places and shooting portraits for people since then. And now I'm getting itchy to get a Macro lens after I get to play with a Tamron SP90 macro lens. You'll be amazed by the level of details when you get as near as possible to your subject.

That aside, I've attended to 3 marriages; Tim and MaryAnne, Ahleong and Shirley and then Colin and JooNa which was held earlier this month. Indirectly, me and another 2 more photographers became Ahleong's Cannon Fodder in his pursuit to get his wife and bring her home. Man... eating chilis spreaded on few loafs of bread is not a nice thing to eat and drinking beer through multiple straws is another thing. For Tim and MaryAnne's, I became their videographer and as a normal wedding attendee for Colin's wedding. My colleague is getting married this September and Yew Hang is getting married in January. Not to forget, Teddy is getting married at the end of August. So many weddings to attend and as usual, questions will be asked around; when are you getting married, who's hanging out with who now, etc.

That's all for now. I think I need a long vacation off to somewhere else, not in malaysia though. I'm thinking of France or Puerto Rico. LoL, yeah i'm dreaming about it

Dogathon 2006

2006-08-15T09:36:00.000+08:00

All these pictures are taken when Dookie is 4 months old around 4th of Aug.

Last Sunday, both of them attended Dogathon 2006 at UPM and man, it was tiring. Imagine you're under the constant sunlight with little shade and DOGS goin about their business. The event was quite fun albeit some misinformation from the OC. As usual, Groovy, Russell and Pacco are the main attractions there with their agility skills and tricks.

Pictures for the Dogathon are not available as I did not bring my camera.

Peekaboo again!!!

Awww~ dont like at me like that...

A lil' bit of TLC

On the side note, I've left another few more pages to go to finish New Spring by Robert Jordan b4 I continue Book 9 of Wheel Of Time which I borrowed from Mah 2 years ago.

Bloody well don't bring your kids

2005-12-20T12:03:00.000+08:00

I guess everyone has a limit to their patience. And yes I have one too. Imagine while you're watching King Kong in TGV KLCC, the person next to you keep on looking onto your right side to check on his friends have already reached the cineplex or not. And when his girl friends are there. He walks pass you and sat at an empty seat and started talking to them. After 5 mins, he walked back to his own seat. In another 10 more minutes, he'll walk pass you again to greet another girlfriend of his and back to his seat.

That started boiling up my blood already. Nvm, I can live with that. Things got worse after that; both of his girlfriends started talking in the damn cineplex and you can hear what they're talking about whilst all the actions are happening on the silver screen where Kong was trashing about. 5 mins.....7 mins.... I can't stand any longer and perch over my girlfriend and told them "We're trying to watch a movie here". Whoa, they looked blur when I scolded them. Even the fella beside me started to signal to them to keep their tone down after that.

To make matters worse, from the beginning of the show until almost then end, one fuck-up, uncivilized, bad mannered and uncourteous teen was pushing his knee at the back of my chair, kicking it, moving about, etc. Imagine that! Just like Kong as he's reaching the top of Empire State Building as I've reached the raging point of my temper, I turned back and hit his knee and told him , "Sejak dari tadi nko tolak tolak kerusi nie. Nko ingat best sgt ke kalo org kacau ko dari blakang masa ko tgk wayang?" LOL. His parents was there and I don't give a damn about them. Darn kids nowadays.

If you can't behave in the freakin cineplex, don't come and watch the movie! There's this moment where a guy got a phone call and the whole cinema can hear when he's talking. It was about taking some cash and pass it to him later. And yes, the rest of the audiance did shhhshed him. Suck on that, sucka!!!

2005-11-06T18:22:00.000+08:00

At Oct 19, I got a sms from my SA telling me that the roadtax is obtained and I can get my car on that day itself. Left my office exactly at 5.30pm sharp and took NPE highway just to reach Puchong fast and get a look at my new addition.

Of all times, it rained while I was on the way back to Puchong and it was getting dark. Besides, I was scrambling to get hold of anyone near my house to fetch me to Proton Edar because if I drive over there, my Saga will have to be left at PE until I find someone to drive the Saga back to my house.

Reached PE around 8 while my SA was fueling up my car. When he got over to PE and passed the car to me, did few checks on the car before I signed the handover documents. Well, here are 2 shots of the car. Will update more later when I have the time.

Minor additions will be done to the car. Until then, all plans are put on hold.

OMG OMG!!!

2005-10-13T16:58:00.000+08:00

I can't believe that they really approve my loan eventhough this is my first time applying for it. kinda jakun i must say. hehehe.

anyway, tonite i'll be meeting up with my SA and pass him the downpayment and see how it goes. If all goes right, I hope my new baby will arrive by Thursday but i'm not putting much hope in getting it earlier. Cheque do need 3 days to clear and this this coming sat is a non working sat.

Pressie for myself

2005-10-10T21:53:00.000+08:00

Finally, I've gotten myself, my very first pressie for birthday(last Sat) today. Was going thru much discussion and deliberation on which to get and finally I guess, this would suffice for the time being.

Placed a booking of RM500 and subject to loan approval, I hope I'll be able to get my hands on this baby in 2 weeks time. For more hint, read my previous post here

It's not the car in my previous post that I'm getting. Something cheaper. RM 20k diff. With it, I can use those 20k for some other things.

Hrm...should I name it just like what Sharni did?

My wishlist~

2005-09-26T10:15:00.000+08:00

1. Ipod Nano
2. A car of my own
3. A new PC

Ironic isn't it when I, myself posted that article below...sigh

It's all about money, ain't it

2005-09-26T09:50:00.000+08:00

Came across an article in TheStar paper yesterday. Very good way of intepreting what we do with our hard earned cash. The thing that really caught my attention in the article was "We will never be rich because we spend more than what we earn"

Pondering over it, kinda true rite? It just hit me hard what I read it. When you're earning your own salary, ya want this, ya want that, you wished for this and that and those and these.... so, it's NEVER enough to quench your thirst for more things especially when you're into techie stuffs like me.

Even if you earning big bucks, I'm pretty sure your wishlist will get longer and longer. Thus, it's never enough. Big cars, big house, l33t equipments, etc...

Well, the article did suggest few ways to save our money and one of it is to go dutch on the things we drink or eat *since we, malaysians' favourite past-time is to eat and shopping*. Imagine that you and your friends are at Starbucks and all of you, i mean ALL of you chip-in RM 1-2 each and buy a cup of Caramel Frappucino and with that single cuppa, you guys are sharing it. LOL.

Escape Artist

2005-09-06T15:01:00.000+08:00

Bandar Puteri - 4th Sept: Since there's been 3 escape attempts which succeeded in 27, Jalan Puteri 4/7 by Piper. Warden and Prison authorities has basically foolproof and escape-proof the whole house.

But on the 4th of September, while all the doors and windows are lock and all the wardens left for OU around 12 something and came back at 4.15pm. Warden Head Nairud has found an Inmate casually walking at the road side sniffing and smelling things as the inmate goes. Nairud pulled over and found out that Piper has managed to escape again.

This has left all the wardens puzzled as how did she manage to go out. Doors are locked, windows on the ground floor are locked and the kitchen door are locked too.

After much investigation, the a CSI team have concluded that there's only 2 way that she can use to escape the house. One, thru the kitchen window sills. But there are no traces of disturbancies below the window as there is a dustbin and a small bowl of used ciggarettes water. Secondly, the escape route would be on the first floor's window. DNA swabs on blood traces on the wall indicate that it is Piper's blood as her hind leg is injured too.

Witnesses reported yesterday that on Sunday, her kids saw Piper's body is halfway out at that window and was preparing to jump. They did not notice the jump but so far the CSI team confirmed that the window is the most likely place for her to jump out. The rest of the wardens also agree on it and now, preventive measure are taken where the mentioned window is always locked and also a fence has been erected below the window.

So far, up till yesterday, there's no escape.

Notice how high is it from Piper's owner?

Piper's size compared to the height that she jumped from

Nobody say you can't dream rite?

2005-09-01T14:46:00.000+08:00

Dreaming..can it it true...

New work, new place

2005-08-15T12:00:00.000+08:00

Hello hello,

Reporting in from my new office in Wisma UOA.
Nothing is interesting here. At least my office pc is way better than my home pc. The only downside of it is the 15 inch monitor with dim display.

Saw few fellas using MSN and also YM. Suprisingly, after having to format my office pc, I have nothing to do yet. I'm still waiting for my domain login which i have to wait for my superior to do that and my QA lead is doing nothing to get me involve yet.

Starting work soon

2005-08-10T19:56:00.000+08:00

Just got my offer letter from Wisma UOA.

I'm starting work on the 15th August. Luckily my working hours is from 9am to 5.30pm but i guess it wouldn't do much since I'm around KLCC anyway.

Oh yeah, IRjacking is fun. Did that in Giant Puchong with my PSP. And Teddy, for the record, there's no memory card on that PS2. So we can't create a profile to start the game ;p.

That video shop lady was like WTF?? hahaha. Nice one. Wanna go to Sony Store to try it out? Let me know ya~

Thank You for the effing haze

2005-08-10T19:47:00.000+08:00

I can't even see the apartment infront of my house.

I can't even see Midvalley and Le Meridien from Old Klang Road.

I can't even see Teddy's house from my house.

It's hazey in my room. It's like I'm in Genting.

And all you think you can do is just a public appology of "You're sorry"

damnit

Wild Zebra

2005-08-03T09:19:00.000+08:00

Wild Zebra... Truly an amazing dance performance by a troupe of dancers from Shanghai Oriental City Dance Troupe with 80 strong cast of dancers. This was my first time attending this kind of thing in Istana Budaya and it was an eye opener attending an "Opera House".

Suprisingly, the attendees all made it into the auditorium around 8.30pm where the show supposed to start and it started around 8.45pm. Well, at least it's not starting at 9pm because of the attendees. At least this time they made the effort to come earlier instead of our normal malaysian "Time"

"A murderous desire for immortality
leads to the ultimate sacrifice
in the name of love ..."
That's the main theme for the show. Since today is the last day for the show, I guess I can indulge you all on what's the story about.

It all started when the Fox spirit told the Queen Bear that she will be able to live a long and happy life ruling other animals under her kingdom. But, to be able to do that, she needs to create or rather make a mantle using 100 wild zebras' skins and the last wild zebra is being readied to be skinned. And yet, one of the Queen Bear's beloved friend/animal is the Princess Zebra that freed the Wild Zebra from captivity; so this means that the mantle cannot be completed. Both of them fled to the "Plains of forever" where all wild zebras live and they had quite a good time there.

While they were "enjoying" in the Plains of forever, Queen Bear got ill and the Spirit Fox managed to convince every other animals in the kingdom to hunt for Wild Zebra and Princess Zebra heard the rumours fled to warn Wild Zebra about it. While searching for Wild Zebra, she was caught by an arrow and decided to sacrifice herself in the name of love to free Wild Zebra from its predicament.

"You must get the last zebra skin... animals, to war!!!", Spirit Fox said

"No!!! Please dont die, my love"

With the last zebra skinned obtained, the Queen Bear healed herself and set to rule the animal kingdom again~

Confidentiality

2005-07-29T12:13:00.000+08:00

I had an interview yesterday and to my suprise and much to my amazement, I would suggest to everyone or ANYONE that is looking for a job to NEVER ever list down the names of families/relative/friends that has any relation with the group of companies that you're applying to.

For the first time, I had the chance to list down my friend's name in it since he opened a company under their name and I thought it will do me good. NO~ I got it all wrong. It seems that if possible, they wouldn't prefer someone like me since I know somebody and it is afraid that I would disclosed confidential infos or sensitive issues from the main company to my friend.

Lamers~

Scare of the day

2005-07-28T21:45:00.000+08:00

I was on the way back from an interview and while standing inside the LRT, I saw few middle eastern guys and they were carrying bags. Funny and scary thoughts sprung up in my mind which I wish not to divulge into it. But when the train almost reach Kerinchi stop, the whole train made an emergency brake and stop in the middle of the track. Silly me, I thought maybe there's a terrorist attack infront. Hahaha. It seems that it happen quite often for both Star LRT and Putra LRT. It's a normal thing to experience for those LRT frequenters.

Anyway, while I was in the train, I looked around, scanning for interesting things to see and something caught my attention. It's the handle bars in the train for those standing passengers. Quite a good marketing ploy I must say. Remember those handles that we usually see in LRTs? Instead of just noral rubber handles, this time, Perodua decided to spice things up in the automotive market by providing plastic handles coupled with messages for the passangers to hold.

The messages read as:
1. How Are You Holding Up? Better Get A Reliable Car
2. A Show Of Hands For Those Looking For A Reliable Ride *This is the one I liked most*
3.Berpeganglah Pada Ini, Ia Tidak Akan Menghampakan Anda.

Imagine all standing passangers are "technically" showing their hands in agreement with Perodua that their cars are more reliable that the "other" automotive maker in our country. ;p

For the first time

2005-07-27T17:43:00.000+08:00

For the first time in all my jungle trekking experience, I have never met or come across any wildlife animals except birds and creepy crawlies. Well, today I decided to bring Piper for a session since it's been a while since she last visited Bukit Gasing with other Puppy.com members.

And there we are, just me and her entering the jungle, climbing hills, rest, climb again....the sort of things you do when you go jungle trekking. I was afraid that I might get lost in the jungle since this is the first time I went in alone. Luckily, I managed to maneuver out of it.

Well, on the way out at the entrance/exit, I heard this sound. Sounds like baby animals screeching and I started looking for it. Saw a baby Civet Cat perching on a slope. I was like WTH??? For the first time ever, I managed to come face to face with a wild animal. Piper didn't notice at first and when I started coaxing the baby civet to come to me, Piper noticed and climbed the slope. At first, there was nothing wrong between them and yet suddenly, the baby civet decided to bite Piper and both ended up in some dog vs cat fight. Obviously Piper got the upperhand since she's bigger and heavier.

Seperated both of them and yet Piper still wants to get a piece of that civet since the civet started it from a mere sniffing of here and there. That civet climbed up a half cut palm tree and was hiding there and Piper who was determined to really get hold of it climbed up the palm tree! Never did I ever heard that a dog climbed tree. I'm not just gonna stand there and watch what's unfolding infront of me. So I grab Piper by her neck and that civet managed to jumped down to the other side of the fence and into a house's compound.

What a day~ I could've swear that I don't know what animal is it if not thanks to National Geography, Animal Planet and Discovery Channel. ;-p

What;'s your mood today~?

2005-07-21T13:42:00.000+08:00

After all these while, I never thought that I'll be at this low point of my life. Never at all. This is one deep rabbit hole I'm in. When I look at the Astro's advertisement about a service of sending your positive quotes, I thought to myself; Does it really work?

Confidence has shattered with no possible way to pick up the pieces and try to reconstruct back. Sometimes, I thought to myself, why did I ever took that path down the road. I could've just taken the other path.

The other day I realized I had been sitting around with my head down for half an hour, and I wasn’t even really notice what's going on with the surrounding. I wasn’t seeing anything at all: Indulged in your own thoughts in your head. This is true, I suspect, for most of us--and inside the box of our thoughts can be a flat, dark, and comfortless place indeed.

Letters to fanboys out there~ hear ye hear ye

2005-07-02T00:14:00.000+08:00

Since this is the last GameSpotting, I decided it was my last chance to convey my thoughts on a subject so near and dear to my heart: fanboys. Console and PC fanboys are an interesting breed, and they always bring a unique discourse to our forums. Their well-written and wonderfully articulated posts and emails give them a special place in my heart. I don't believe I've ever addressed them directly before, so this is my chance

Dear Fanboys,

I have a few pieces of advice I want to pass onto you in this GameSpotting. I know that in an age of multiple platforms and a huge amount of games, it can be difficult to remain loyal to one platform or one company. It's a real challenge, and you are all noble and courageous for taking on this quest. I have a few suggestions that I hope you all take to heart. It will help guide you down the path of the fanboy.

GameSpot is the most reliable source for reviews. Except when another publication rates the game you're hyping higher than us. Then that publication is the most reliable source. Until next week, anyway.

A person who owns just one console is inherently less biased than editors at GameSpot who have access to all consoles.

The term "exclusive" is tricky. Its definition changes depending upon whether a hot game appears on your platform or not.

Innovation is what it's called when your console has a unique feature. Otherwise, it's called a gimmick.

Your specific needs are shaped around your platform's features. For instance, if your console doesn't feature HDTV support, then it really wasn't that necessary to have, anyway.

A game that is scored less than a 9.5 on any platform you don't own is called a flop. If it does achieve that score, it's called overrated. (According to the GameSpot rating system, a game rated 8 or above is "great," but we all know that it really means "flop.")

Sales numbers are everything, as long as the numbers are best for your favorite company or console. If that means you have to dig up numbers for sales in New Zealand stores from seven months ago to prove your point, so be it.

Likewise, it is up to you to monitor how companies are doing and report every dip in stock price of manufacturers of other consoles. You're all experts in the fields of economics and finance, so your analyses will always prove correct.

You must realize, that some companies are evil, and some are inherently good. Some companies do it for the money, others do it... so, well, you can brag about them.

Perhaps the most clever thing you as fanboys can do is to come up with derogatory names for competing consoles, such as Xbrick instead of Xbox or FlopStation 2 instead of PlayStation 2.

On message boards, the best way to convey your point is to write in all caps, ignore the rules of grammar, and include lots of "LMAO's" and "LOLs" in your post.

It makes perfect sense to insult a company's lineup one moment and at the same time hope that company will go third party and develop for your console the next.

Playing a game on a different console for ten minutes at a friend's house qualifies you as an expert on that game and console.

You are obviously the most knowledgeable person about hardware. So when you're talking about the difference between CISC and RISC processors, everyone should stop and listen.

A sequel on another console is a "rehash," while a sequel on your console is not; in fact, it's highly anticipated.

Your platform is the best one in existence. Any time you see what might be evidence to the contrary, it's clearly because others are blinded by their idiotic fanboyism.

So you see, dear readers, the best part about being a fanboy is that you can never be proven wrong. As long as you ignore the rules of logic and sensibility, you will never have to worry about whether or not you made a good investment. That sure helps all the insecurity go away, doesn't it?

In the meanwhile, the rest of us will have to go on using our brains to make decisions when it comes to videogames. We will have to actually think about whether or not it's worth it to buy a console based on our needs. We will have to consider forking over more money for a new machine if its games are excellent. We will have to play the best games instead of bash them if they're not on our consoles.

In other words, the rest of us non-fanboys are doomed to a life of playing the best games and enjoying our hobby, while you will have the luxury of being able to ignore the majority of games that come out, because they're not on your console. That is indeed very lucky for you all.

And with that, I must wrap up my letter today. I hope I was able to teach you all a thing or two.

Your Pal,
Adam

Sorry for the fish

SIGH~

It's been like another planet has been formed since the last time I posted anything. Where was I? Oh yeah, the E3 hype on all next-gen consoles. Truth to be told, I was working for my new co and guess what? I've resigned! Thanks to an old fart who just wanna make my life harder and his easier over there. No no, I was not fired but I fired them. Bunch of moronic ppl.

It's been almost a month since I resigned and during that time, I've managed to scurry thru my pile of books that I've not finished yet and read some of it along with keeping track on the games that I've missed out due to the workload I got.

Lately, the PSP scene has been bombarded with all kinds of hacks and emulators such as SNES emulator, PSP Background changer, etc and I'm using both the emulator and the BG changer now. Impressive I must say. In a short 8 months period, all kinds of homebrew programs are released by PSPers. I've got a question here, "Is running emulators/homebrew software means that you're a pirate?" Gimme your opinions. Heck, even the Lumines game ISO is out and can be executed thru the memory stick but there's no BGM. Too bad...and that is what I call a pirate. Downloading game ISOs and play without paying for it. What about emulators and homebrew programs?

PS3: What I like about this year's E3

2005-05-17T19:10:00.000+08:00

When E3 comes into life tomorrow, it's soooo damn surreal when the Playstation 3 is announced this morning (Malaysian Time). With Microsoft's strategy to unveiled their Xbox360 in MTV b4 E3, comes Sony's turn to unveil their new console, PS3 in E3.

Honestly, personally I think the PS3 has garnered more response from the public rather than the Xbox360. The specs on paper are definately better than Xbox360 but still, we need to see it perform side by side.

What I really like about this specs is that it can output High Definition at 1080P at 2 channels! Current top game of PS2 which is GT4 can only output HD at 1080i at one channel. *sweat* It is even Backward compatible so that we can play old Playstation and Playstation 2 games. With it's PS3 - PSP buddy up feature, imagine what you can do with your PSP when you link it up with your PS3. All of this will be released in Spring 2006!!! Cheers~

New job, New Environment.

2005-05-13T19:54:00.000+08:00

Been missing for the past week. Was working with a new co, Tomei Gold and Jewellery. Whole new environment where they speak Mandarin and Cantonese. English? nopes. Totally different

It's not really an IT company but they do have an IT dept there. Just like what Tech Support ppl should do, I'll think about it more when i get to know more how this organization works.

I'm having my own doubts whether it's a wise choice that i made on the 28th of March.

BTW, next weekend on sat, 8.45pm, I'll be having a PSP Star Wars 3 Movie gathering at GSC Times Square. We managed to book the whole premium class cinema for that time slot. One whole cineplex are ours!!! hahahaha. Jeeves and Teddy will be joining me.

PSP Movie Gathering

2005-05-03T09:30:00.000+08:00

Anyone interested? There'll be PSP gathering also.

~Books~

2005-05-03T09:28:00.000+08:00

For the past 2 weeks, Gavin Mendes book have been occupying me with interesting reads on the "1942 The Year China Discovered The World". The fact that the emporer has such great vision to make the world cower in fear at China's might is really really fascinating. Such spending on lavish dinners, concubines, Naval Fleets, etc does really show that YOU're rich to the world. But one thing that amazes me in the book that the Malacca Sultan that time DID made a trip to China to pay loyalty fees and it did state that Admiral Zheng He joined the convoy or entourage to accompany Sultan back to Malacca with hordes of concubines in the ship to cater all the world leaders need. After anchoring in Malacca and exchanging farewells, Admiral Zheng He set sail to other parts of the world to send the rest of the leaders home.

The one thing that caught my attention is what stated in our local history book about the "Zaman Kegemilangan Melayu Melaka". In the book, it tells us that Admiral Cheng Ho a.k.a Zheng He brought Princess Hang Li Po to Malacca as a gift from China. I smell a conspiracy here~ She might be a concubine of the China emporer that set sail with the entourage; well, an emporer's concubine can be regarded as an emporer's wife too. And how come it's not stated in our History Book about this matter and about how big the Admiral's entourage is?

Go figure~ correct me if i got the facts wrong.

Somebody's wife's been drunk and thanks to her who thought this was a good idea. Got this link from here

Ed’s note: The more I think about it, the more I realize that probably this picture of a PSP wrapped in nipplage-free breastages should probably be on the jump, so as not to spark mass firings.

Regarding the QRIO pictures, here it is:

Inactivity

2005-04-24T00:54:00.000+08:00

It's exactly 2 weeks since my last post. Been busy....am I? Hahahaha. I got nothing to write actually. This weekend from Friday to Sunday, Sony Style has opened its store at The Curve and there's 2 main events. One is the Sony QRIO robot presentation which you can say the arch-enemy of Honda's Asimo. And the other event is the first PSP Preview in Malaysia. Imagine that~ not even the european countries had their PSP previews yet.

Now who the heck needs "Preview"? - Marauderz said

Abou the QRIO images, i'll post it up once i get the pics.

Update: Bought a cheapo screen protector for the time being. Now I'm waiting for the Martin Fields Overlay Protector for PSP which is supposedly the best screen protector for your PSP. Once I get it, a redressing is needed for my PSP

Finally~

2005-04-10T17:50:00.000+08:00

Yeah!~ I've gotten my very own PSP... Went to One U to meet up with other psp peers to discuss about the coming PSP gathering. Talk talk talk....until I've give in to the temptations. Got it in One U with the help of other ppl; checking for dead pixels, etc....

Well here it is:

Silent Day

2005-04-04T14:43:00.000+08:00

The office has been senyap for the whole day. 3 of my colleagues are basking on the soft and fine sands on the beach of Pulau Redang. 2 colleagues of mine has been transfered to another department which is located in Shah Alam and another one in another dept. 2 of my boss has resigned and already left the office. One more colleague leaving the office today. Wow!~

Everyone sure gets on with their life huh... change of environment. I'm getting on with mine too. Going to another company in Old Klang road. People might say that I moved to a greener patch but I don't personally think so. A lot of stuffs have to be given up from the current job.

Converting to portability

2005-04-02T23:35:00.000+08:00

It's been a few months already since PSP has been launched in The Land of The Rising Sun and 2 weeks after the launch of PSP in the states. With all the hype and at least 15 games being released on launch day, I've gotten myself a mag covering the details of the PSP and its games list; my very first step in the possibility of owning a PSP soon. Well, I have to think hard on it and will decide it later.

Might and might not buy. It all depends at the end of May. We'll see how. I'm just hoping.

What religion is the right one for you?

2005-03-29T13:11:00.000+08:00

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Is it time yet?

2005-03-23T20:28:00.000+08:00

In each and every person, there'll be a time where they will have to decide what to do with their lives from this point onwards. Be it their personal life, financial aspect or even career. Should I do this? Should I take the chance? etc. I've been wondering this to myself also lately.

The past one month plus had me thinking real hard about what I want in my career. Should I just wait for the right moment for good things to come to myself or should I go in search of it? I did talk it out with other people whom I think I can really trust and yet most of them would say "Go for it. Think what's best for yourself".

The catalyst for the moment I really have to make up my mind came a month ago with an imminent departure of one of my superiors and few of my colleagues. This whole "thing" got me into action to do what's best for myself yet I'm afraid to change. New environment and such, ya know...

I got a call from company "T" offering me a position in their ranks of employees. The package was lower than what I expected and I negotiated with them. Not much of an improvement from the previous offer but then some luxuries given to me from my current company have to be stripped off. Am I ready to live with that? I really don't know. It's kinda big of a decision for me to decide yet.

All formalities that are supposed to be prepared are done and yet I'm still doubting myself whether I can do it or not.

It comes and goes every year

2005-03-18T09:41:00.000+08:00

Birthdays do come once in a year for everyone and there's none that more than once a year for anyone in the world.

Genie's birthday is today and we celebrated this morning around 12.25am. Not much of a celebration. Just a candle blowing session and a short chat with all the housemates. Piper looking eagerly around the table for a bite of the cake. Oh yeah!!! I forgot about the pictures of the pressie. Will try to get a few snaps of it since it's with her now.

Asked her what's her plan for this bday. And guess what she said... I'm not gonna disclosed what she said but then it really got me into thinking about "Get Your Priorities Right First" thing.

Yeah yeah... I'm ranting here. But hey, where else could I go or who else should I talked to? I need a place or an opening to vent out what I have inside of me. A lot of things have happened for the past 2 months. Be it office problem or my own life's problem.

Quarterly Life Crisis

2005-03-18T09:21:00.000+08:00

They call it the "Quarter-life Crisis." It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now.

You start realizing that people are selfish and that, maybe, those friends that you thought you were so close to aren't exactly the greatest people you have ever met, and the people you have lost touch with are some of the most important ones. What you don't recognize is that they are realizing that, too, and aren't really cold, catty, mean or insincere, but that they are as confused as you.

You look at your job...and it is not even close to what you thought you would be doing, or maybe you are looking for a job and realizing that you are going to hav e to start at the bottom and that scares you.

Your opinions have gotten stronger. You see what others are doing and find yourself judging more than usual because suddenly you realize that you have certain boundaries in your life and are constantly adding things to your list of what is acceptable and what isn't.

One minute, you are insecure and then the next, secure. You laugh and cry with the greatest force of your life. You feel alone and scared and confused. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to them past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but
stay where you are or move forward.

You get your heart broken and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you. Or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough that you want to get to know better. Or maybe you love someone but love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you know that you aren't a bad person.

One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over, and talk with your friends about
the same topics because you cannot seem to make a decision.

You worry about loans, money, the future and making a life for yourself.....and while winning the race would be great, right now you'd just like to be a contender!

What you may not realize is that everyone reading this relates to it. We are in our best of times and our worst of times, trying as hard as we can to figure this whole thing out.

PSM makes PS3

2005-03-16T19:55:00.000+08:00

Well, since Microsoft unveiled their Xbox Xenon in GDC'05 and bits and pieces of how it would looks. PSM take its turn to make their own PS3 and this is how it looks like. You can check it out if you buy this month's release

Sleek and sexy

Nice Curves

Free as a bird?

2005-03-15T08:38:00.000+08:00

Well, here i am, taking a day off from work on a Tuesday!! Weird isn't it? Usually ppl would take either Fridays or Mondays off so that they can have an extra day relaxing during the weekend. But I've got something up... my plan. I shall call it my-plan instead of the usual blog-plan from Ow. Sorry Ow ;p . So,yup... it's my-plan for today.

Gotta attend an appointment later in Holiday Villa Hotel in Subang and then off I go to Sunway Pyramid again. Yes, AGAIN as I've just went there on Sunday. This time, it is for me to get a pressie for my Genie. Yeah, you heard it, my genie. You guys know who she is~

Her birthday is coming this Friday and yet I've got no plan to celebrate whatsoever. Just a normal present giving session and that's it. On Friday itself, she'll have some birthday dinner with her colleagues so.... Oh yeah, Keat Seong's girlfriend's birthday is a day earlier than my Genie. We were talking about going to Sunway yesterday and suggested a meet-up since it's been ages we met. Talked a lot of things thru' YM and this birthday thingy came up. Only then I know that her birthday is on the 17th of March.

All was set for yesterday's meet-up but then just when I was about to leave the office, I remembered that I have an appointment today. So it was cancelled since I don't want to go to Subang two days in a row ;p. I'll be getting the stuffs today. Maybe I'll post some pics when I got the pressie.

Additional Xbox Xenon info

2005-03-12T16:35:00.000+08:00

Wireless Options: Xenon will enable both wired and wireless controllers (like the Nintendo WaveBird or the Logitech controllers), and will come with RF receivers for wireless options. The system also supports an optional Internet router/adapter.

Controllers: The new controllers will be around the same size as the current S-controllers. Microsoft has eschewed the dual triggers for shoulder buttons, and the design is said to be a mixture between the current S-controllers and the current PS2 controllers. They will not feature slots for memory cards, which, we're told, are on the console itself. The system supports 64 megabyte memory cards. There are three controller slots, two controllers on front of the system, plus one USB on the back. Controllers have 2.5mm jacks for headset use.

Console Design: The Xenon console design is said to be much smaller than Xbox, which seems obvious. The new design is styled less like a Corvette and more organic in shape. Its size falls somewhere between the new slimmer PS Two and original PS2.

Xbox Xenon Unveiled

2005-03-10T14:44:00.000+08:00

With the GDC 2005 going on now, Microsoft took the chance to unveiled their next-gen console; Xbox Xenon. Tentalising specs, I must say. Since they are not opting for HD-DVD or Blu-ray disc and sticking back to DVD9, the "ahem" market will still flourish and i think it is still part of MS strategy to gain more market share. Wait a year or so, when the modchips are more stable, I'm getting one Xenon for myself. Below are the specs mentioned in Gamespy:

The Guts of the Next Box

# CPU - Xenon's CPU has three 3.0 GHz PowerPC cores. Each core is capable of two instructions per cycle and has an L1 cache with 32 KB for data and 32 KB for instructions. The three cores share 1 MB of L2 cache. Alpha 2 developer kits currently have two cores instead of three.

# GPU - Xenon's GPU is a generation beyond the ATI X800. Its clock speed is 500 MHz and it supports Shader 3.0. Developers are currently working with an alpha 2 GPU. Beta GPU units are expected by May and the final GPU is slated for a summer release. The final GPU will be more powerful than anything on the market today; in game terms, it would handle a game like Half-Life 2 with ease.

# System Memory - Xenon will have 256 MB of system RAM. Keep in mind that this number should not be equated to typical PC RAM. The Xbox has 64 MB of system RAM and is a very capable machine.

# Optical Drive - As many have speculated, Xenon will not use Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. Games will come on dual-layer DVD-9 discs. While the media is the same as that of the current Xbox, the usable space on each disc is up to 7 GB. The drive is slated to run at 12X.

# Memory Units - Xenon will use 64 MB to 1,024 MB memory cards. 8 MB is reserved for system use, leaving a 56 MB to 1,016 MB for user data.

# Hard Drive - As many have speculated, Xenon's hard drive is optional. 2 GB of the drive will be used as game cache. The final drive size is still being determined.

# Camera - Xenon will have a USB 2.0 camera. It's capable of 1.2 megapixel still shots and VGA video. Photos can be used in-game and for gamer profiles. The camera can also be used for video chat. It's unknown if the Xenon camera will allow for EyeToy-like gameplay. Developers are currently using a simulated camera driver.

# Sound Chip - Xenon does not have an audio chip in the traditional sense. Decompression is handled by hardware, while the rest of the chores are handled by software. DirectSound3D has been dropped in favor of X3DAudio. The former was deemed too inflexible.

It seems that today is a very bad day for me indeed.

One, I'm being bashed/flamed in another blogger's blog

Secondly, I'm being unreliable in "everything" i say.

Do let me know or correct me...

I must say that The Da Vinci Code is an interesting book to read. With all the theories about secret organizations, hidden messages in Da Vinci's drawing, and action thriller, it's a good book. Got me hook for one straight week but most of the week it's being read in an ebook form. Urgh, my eyes.

I'm almost finishing this book and yet started to look for Dan Brown other books. Lucky Teddy has all 4 of them and i'm planning to borrow Angels and Demons from him.

Narutards Unite!!

2005-02-19T03:20:00.000+08:00

News gotten out to all naruto fans and especially narutards that Naruto is licensed in America yesterday. Looks like we won't be getting anymore naruto episodes off the bittorrent since more fansubs are US based. Wait!!! there's still hope. Dattebayo is still doing the fansub for Naruto *jumping in joy*

But then more or less, I've known a bit of the storyline when i chatted with a friend of mine. Here's the gist of the story after Episode 122 courtesy of Dattebayo yesterday:

3 weeks on unfruitful day

2005-02-18T01:34:00.000+08:00

Well, it's been almost 3 weeks since i last type in something in my blog. Just like Teddy said, writer's block or writer's blog...? hrmmm.

On the bright side, yesterday i've met a very good samaritan. It's rare ya know; for someone like me to meet with this malay guy. Here i was, waiting at the other side of the Damansara Puchong Highway; trying to cross the highway back to my home. Out of nowhere, suddenly I saw a car from the middle lane cut into the left lane and started flashing its headlights to me. I was like "Huh?".

He stopped beside me, wind down his power window and ask "You tunggu teksi ke?(Are you waiting for a taxi?)" He's around late 30s, with moustache, kinda dark and it was a wira btw. I can't hear clearly that time as the LDP was damn bloody noisy at that time. He repeated a few times and only then i managed to catch a glimpse of what he was tryin to ask of me. *Seems like he wanna give me a lift* Mind ya, he doesn't look like those evil hearted guy or someone who has some bad intentions on me.

"Tak, I nak cross jalan nie" was my reply. And both of us seperated and go on with our lives. How often do you get someone or a total stranger offering you their favour? This is my very first time. Really, my very first encounter.

On the other note, I've gotten my hands on Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. I've finished 2 missions already and was playing third mission this morning. It was a boss fight after all; a cerberus. And what reward i got after defeating him? A nan-chuck with Ice elemental damage *drooling* I didn't save after that as i'm intending to replay that level again because i've used some orbs to level up my sword. So, i'm going in to fight him again with an unlevel sword and plan to use those orbs to level up that nan-chuck. How's that for an appetizer? Hehehe.

So far, Dante speaks a lot compared to DMC2 and he's damn arrogant too. With all those, "I'm greater than you", "I won't lose", "You're just an ant to me" and other badass attitudes, he seems kinda funny with all those antics. On the graphics department, it's still the same like DMC2. Not much of an improvement but coupled with a few nifty moves for each type of weapon, it'll glue you to your sit for at least an hour.

I'll post more when i find more time. Until then, ciao~

Working On A Sunday

2005-01-31T01:20:00.000+08:00

Here I am, sitting in the office doing some work. Well, actually, I'm here to backup or help to ease some of the workload.

Oh yeah, did i tell you bout i have to format my pc? Damn Generic Host Process keeps on crashing on me whenever i go online. Found out the reason for that thing to crash is because of some HP printer driver but then i don't have any hp products in my pc.

As i'm cursing the whole day, i have to reformat my pc and now i have to REINSTALL everything i have installed previously. DAMN YOU HP!!!

CNY or not?

2005-01-29T01:28:00.000+08:00

Chinese New Year is around the corner!!! A week or more and it's the new lunar year for us Chinese. Gong Xi Gong Xi!!!

Heck, do i have to be happy about it? Yeah yeah, people might say, "Hey, it's chinese new year. A new year for you to start a whole new life" or even "You can earn some ang pow money leh..." Whatever~ Yes, i'm happy that the fact i can earn some green papers but does it have any significant thing that you can be happy about?

It might only be aesthetic. For me, the days counting down to Chinese new year are the best. When it's pass the first two days of CNY, it gets dull for me. I'm not complaining or anything but isn't it interesting to ponder what people think or perceive about Chinese New Year.

Another nice thing that I like about CNY is that we, as a family as whole, can get together and have nice meals with each other. But "some" in my family doesn't even bother about joining The Family for dinners or lunch on the first and second day of CNY. "Busy la", "Wanna earn more income since it's CNY when hordes of people are goin out", etc.

Fucking lame man!!! What kinda fucking reason is that? How many times in a year that the whole Family got together. Some of you even have to be begged or persuaded to join any events. Well, we'll see about it this year. But I wouldn't give much hope on it.

Uso-tsuki

2005-01-23T03:12:00.000+08:00

Why can't they be a bit more honest? Telling lies are not good. Have they heard of the phrase; "Honesty is the best policy"? That's why I don't tend to lie to people? But then it does get me into trouble ya know, when I'm too honest at times. Things that should not be spoken are spewed out, etc.

Was planning to go out and get my Chinese New Year clothes but something's come up and I won't be getting it this weekend. *Sigh... how many times do we get 3 days off or more?

I'm still contemplating when to get my favourite toy, my PSP. Yes, i've been reading around about it and it's really really tempting. Eventough, now it's being equipped with a $amsung LCD instead of $harp, I'd still be getting it inspite of the lcd sharpness, clarity and vibrancy are being questioned. Moreover, even Djinn popped into this blog and "poisoning" me to get a PSP fast. hahahaha

Where is the sportsmanship?

2005-01-21T01:24:00.000+08:00

Have you ever wonder whether the people you're playin games with have sportsmanship? According to an online dictionary, it means

The fact or practice of participating in sports or a sport.
Conduct and attitude considered as befitting participants in sports, especially fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing.
Fairness in following the rules of the game

Well, it happens to affect MMOGs. When you're playing with other people and let's say, the last one standing wins; You know you're losing and what would you do? Take your opponent down along with you? Suicide? Or whatever it takes to make you yourself to die in a happy ending and letting your missed out on a chance to win that match? WHERE is that sportsmanship?!?!

Yeah yeah, you might say to have grace in losing. Yes! To HAVE grace in losing. People won't mind losing a game because it's just a game but the main thing is that when your opponent takes you down with himself when the odds are against them.

Think about it~

What's a chick flick?

2005-01-13T01:50:00.000+08:00

1) A movie that does not have any action scenes
2) A movie that does not have any explosion scenes
3) A movie that does not have any car chase scenes
4) A movie that makes you go "Awwww~"
5) A movie that makes you sober
6) And finally, the ultimate chick flick is when your girlfriend ask, "Why you never do that do me?", "How come you're never like that?" etc

I'm beginning to wonder, why no one ever post anything in the tagboard lately... I might need to publicise my blog more aggreesively. Hehehehe

Was busy over the weekend

2005-01-12T01:27:00.000+08:00

...as I'm too engrossed over Grand Turismo 4. Yes!! I got a copy of it and it's from the supplier that i wanted to get from. Now, the only thing that i wished for; i mean for now, to compliment my GT4, is a HDTV and a Logitech GT Force Pro a.k.a Logitech Driving Force Pro or the non pro version of it.

This week is a hectic week, imagine 2 birthdays and a wedding dinner to attend to. One was yesterday and then another one on thurdays and the last one will be on friday nite.

Oh yeah, did i mentioned something about being fired because of your blog. Well, I got a list of companies, at least, which was forwarded from my friend that have at least dismissed their employees because of their blog. Here are the list:
1.) Delta Air Lines
2.) Wells Fargo
3.) Ragen MacKenzie

12.) Mike DeWine, US Senator (R-Ohio)

21.) Health Sciences Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada (?)
22.) the National Basketball Association (NBA)

So, next time, becareful of what you blog. Hehehe.

A good thing for my friend now that he finally settled down with a girlfriend. A good thing for him but not for me as i can't simply as him out, or even go to his house to play Halflife 2!!! Boring~ hehehe.

2005-01-08T01:16:00.000+08:00

Imagine playing basketball twice in a week when all the while i've not been exercising. Yeah, I'm still tired from all the running and jumping. While waiting for the rest of my gang to arrive, me and another two more of my colleagues played a match with a group of youngsters. I'd say we lose flat out. Bwahahahaha. Can you imagine the difference in gameplay, stamina and experience between someone who plays practically everyday and the ones that play once a week?

About the tsunami crisis that we're having now, there are some people who brought up the issue why the donations that the public made are still not being disbursed to the victims. Some said that the government are waiting for the media to make some coverage of them donating stuffs to the victim; well, you can call them politics and some also said that those people who collects aids, funds for the victims are infact pocketing a sum from the funds for themselves. Makes me wonder whether it's true or not.

A dull sunday indeed

2005-01-03T11:59:00.000+08:00

Let me recount what did i do the whole day~...
.
.
.
.
oh yeah, NFS!!! Hahaha. Yes, the whole day. Well, practically the whole day if it's not 24 hours. Been racing trying to unlock my Mazda Rx8 but to no avail. I managed to unlock 4 cars though. *sigh...

My trusty 'ol car has been screaming for a cleanup and so she did get a cleanup. I'd have not wash her if it's not for the sheer anger that i didn't manage to unlock my Rx8.

Half Life 2 Hands-on

2005-01-02T11:54:00.000+08:00

Yes!!! I've finally be able to play Half Life 2 properly for the first time since i last played it on my pc which lags and stutters everytime they load the game audio. I must say that i was taken aback from the game's quality since i'm playing on a 2.4Ghz Semprom and a Geforce 6800 GT. Well, I think you can guess how are the qualities.

Too bad, that it's been almost a year since i last played any first person shooter, i felt nausea after 2 hours of gameplay. And my right arm are sore holding the mouse without proper arm rest. Hehehe.

Well, since our "localized" version of GT4 has arrived, i'm might go get it tonite itself. Yes, it's in chinese though i was hoping for the jap version. Whether i'm going or not will depend on whoever's following me.

Out~~

Gran Turismo 4 Out!!!

2005-01-01T06:57:00.000+08:00

Finally, after a 2-3 years haitus, Polyphony Digital has released yet another game that manages to unlock the holy grail of our beloved and treasured Playstation 2; Gran Turismo 4.

A real life driving simulation that will be the drive of your life as they claimed it to be. With around 650 cars to choose from and apart from the A-Spec mode, there's an additional mode included; B-Spec. In B-spec, you get to play as a manager of racing team, making all kinds of decisions in terms of car racing. Be it how much fuel being pumped in, tyre types, racing aggression, etc. Sadly, our local car doesn't make it into the 650 cars. Sad indeed.

Well, the jap release is out but not the english version which we have to wait till march. Guess i'll be getting the Jap version and play it first since there's a site that did a translation on all menus for non jap readers like me

Below are some of the screenies which are WYSIWYG using a Component cable and a HDTV

Now this is the car that i wanted to get if i can afford it. Mazda 3 or known as Mazda Axela. It's gonna reach our shore next year.

It's all over

2005-01-01T05:02:00.000+08:00

Yeap..it's all over. Appraisal has been done yesterday nite. Private and Confidential.

Well, today's New Year Eve and yet most of us are mourning for those 118k+ ppl who died in those tsunami hit countries. Well, we have to be grateful for the disaster that hit our country did not claim a lot of lives. Still sub 100 head count.

I got a url that links me to the New York Times and whoa, they did a pretty good job on keep ing the lastet event updated to the public eyes and ears. They even have a simulation of how the tsunami developed and the wave pattern.

For the first time

2004-12-30T11:21:00.000+08:00

Here I am waiting in the office for 2 hours and without any news about when I am goin to be appraised. Year End Appraisal they called it. See? Another guy just went in while I'm sitting here warming my chair. And now it's 7.18pm, we're told to go home and it'll be continue tomorrow.

I would've follow the rest of my colleague. Went home right after work without having to wait for the appraisal and let's do it tomorrow. I just wished i can went my anger here but then I just got news that there's a flight attendant, a lady, who got fired because she blogged and posted some of her pictures in uniform and posed in the airplane.

Chic?

2004-12-18T19:37:00.000+08:00

It's been a tiring day for me as I went for a jungle trekking in Bkt Gasing with Teddy. Brought Piper along and wow, there's around 15-20 dogs there. One even came late and met up with us at the stream rest point.

What fascinates me the most is that there's a japanese couple in the group. They came along with a beagle. hahaha. Nice nice~ i mean the lady. ahem~ Well, Kaori was there also with her GR. Three of them have been communicating in jap and I did catch a lil bit of what they're talking. Not much coz my jap sucks big time.

After the trekking, we went for breakfast at Raju's. Ate 3 pieces of roti canai and the rest at most took 2. I didn't take the fried chicken of course as I'm having throat irritation for the whole week already.

Came home and well, as I have nothing to do, I started playin MGS2 again. Snake out~

Busy me~

2004-12-18T03:43:00.000+08:00

At last, i can say i'm busy doin something in the office. Been busy on wednesday and thursday doing some manual booklet for CMS. And now, i got nothin to do again.

Today, we are suposed to hand in our Personal Update form, Leave Application form and our dreaded Year End Appraisal form. Don't even know what to write as i only expect to let me what i wanted to do all the while. System Support!!!! Godamnit!!! Just give me the fucking job! 11 months of total dismal working hours.

MGS3 unveiled by me

2004-12-15T14:55:00.000+08:00

It's been almost a month since I last posted something in this blog. To tell you the truth, i just can't seem to find any spare time to blog anything. Sorry. But here goes:

FINALLY!!!! I've finished Snake Eater in one week time since i got it. Took me around 15 hours or so to finish it. The gameplay is TOTALLY different from the previous MGS series as this one takes place in a jungle and not in those small confined areas like the previous ones. With the radar being taken off and replaced by a motion radar, which sucks up battery life where you have to keep an eye out for.

The graphics are top notch...it's l33t!!! They don't even have to use CG to show those cutscene as the in-game cutscene are almost on par with pre-rendered movies. It looks really really real in a sence.

This third installment is the mother of all prequel to the existing Metal Gear series and Metal Gear Solid series. It put some of the unexplained stuffs from the previous series into prespective. Who's Ocelot, who's Big Boss, The Boss, Raiden, etc.

There's even a secondary view for you to look at. Most of the time, cutscenes will not allow you to do anything in it, but MGS3 allows you to see thru Snake's eye by pressing R1. This First Person View is "useful" at times during cutscenes. Yes, you didn't read wrongly, "useful" when you wanna look at something "nice". Get the drift?

Too much to write about but then in a nutshell, this game is my Game Of The Year. Anything you all wanna know, just ask me in the tag board.

I've got bitten for the third time.

2004-11-24T09:22:00.000+08:00

Taste the third bite!!!

Yes. It's been a week since i last blog and it's all because of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. It practically sucked my life and got me hooked onto my tv.

Yeah, one week or i'd rather say i just played it for 3 days coz the earlier day, i was looking for it around town. hehehehe. That game is so damn nice with it's new game mechanics and the graphics are top notch.

Wait for my review then. Ciao~

Horny Dog

2004-11-24T09:13:00.000+08:00

Ever since Piper was on heat for the pass 2 weeks. There's this dog that keeps on coming over to my house gate and wait for us or I'd rather say wait for Piper. It'll be another week b4 the smell that she released will stop male dogs coming over.

Everytime I leave the house, that dog will be there. Well, it's my neighbour's dog. EVERYTIME, yes EVERYTIME he'll pounce on me and wants to hump me. Fuck!!! Down i say; still jumping and pouncing. The next thing he knows is that something landed on his face and it's painful. Keep on slapping him and whacking him will not deter that determined dog.

Now, everytime i walk Piper for her morning and evening walk, i'd bring a whip along with me. Hahahaha. Yes, you guessed it, to whip him. This morning it happened again, right in front of his owner. Piper is so small and yet he's big and wanting to hump her. Pushed him away and the owner did nothing. NOTHING!!!

So, i can't just stay there and look at him trying to mount Piper rite? Out comes the rotan and landed on his butt. And the owner did NOTHING again!!! Once Piper saw that rotan, she'll cowl and stay quite far away from me.

That blardy dog still don't want to give up. At a junction where his owner cannot see me, i commanded Piper to sit and stay while i bait that fucked-up dog over. Whoosh!!! Oh yeah, it's a home run for me. Yelping and running it goes. hahahaha. We'll see later today when i bring Piper out whether he learnt his lesson already or not.

Money...more muhhneee!

2004-11-18T03:12:00.000+08:00

To upgrade or not to upgrade. That is the question.

Halflife 2 is OUT!!! Yes, it's out. While most of the ppl upgrade their pc for Doom3, i'm the one thinking about it for Halflife2. I tot my pc can play it at 800Mhz but no, it requires at 1.2Ghz processor. While all the ppl in the world are either downloading the game thru Valve servers or waiting for the postman to arrive at their doorstep knockin' on the door, I'm figuring how to get that amount of cash to upgrade my pc. If only i have wads and wads of cash. IF and only IF...*sigh

Long holiday ahead

2004-11-12T04:11:00.000+08:00

Didn't blog for the last few days as i was mourning for my dead dog. Yeah, he died in an inhumane way i would say and that image just keeps getting back into my mind when i least wanted it.

Every now and then it'll just flashed rite in front of my when i got nothing to occupy my mind. I'd rather not divulge anymore into this thing as i HAVE blood on my hands which i can't wash off.

It's nice to hear that Maxis has provided wireless internet to Pusat Bandar Puchong whereas me as a tenant of my friend's house in Bukit Puchong might have to move out from the house as the landlord have decided to sell the house and would give us a 2 months notice in advance. With TmNut Streamyx been installed recently, guess that i would still have to pay for the subscription fee IF i have to move out and shift to other house elsewhere. My one year contract has just started!!! damnit!

With Deeparaya going on today, with all my housemates gone back to their hometown. I guess i'll be alone for some time at home. 6 days of holidays; what am i gonna do? well, i did plan to go out to Sg wang and Low yat to get my cdr pen and maybe get some ps2 games but what if it's jammed on the way there? GITS, NFSU2, Jak3, Rachet and Clank, etc.....there's too many games to play yet so little time to play!! urgh..sometimes, in the office, i'd imagine all the stuffs i can do in this game, that game. hahaha. Just too much free time in the office.

i think i better get ready to go out already. Being stucked at home really doesn't do any good to me. Will update ya'all later.

Should i or should i not?

2004-11-06T02:43:00.000+08:00

well, i've been workin for almost a year already and still no progress or improving in any aspects regarding ANYTHING.

Here i am sitting around waitin for time to pass me by and then i can go back to Ipoh!!! Yeah! Yeehaa!!! 5 months since the last time i went back. hrmm, let me see....oh yeah, Labour Day. That was the last time i went back. Stucked in traffic jam for 5 hours. 5 hours i tell ya!!!

i'm still lookin for some songs to be my ringtone. *sigh. Why is it so damn hard just to find the ones you like?

There's this annoying guy in a forum that keeps on banging ppl's post without regard of what ppl might feel. All he wants to say is that whatever he said doesn't effect him in anyway coz it's just an INTERNET FORUM anyway. He stirred trouble with a few forum members already and i'm one of them.

well, gtg already since i need to bang him somemore

Crabs anyone?

2004-10-31T08:36:00.000+08:00

CRABS!!!!!!!! Yummy!!!! hahahah. Of all things that i planned with my colleagues. Since Monday's gonna be a public holiday, we've decided to go for an outing. Go to Seremban and eat Marmite Crab, Salted eggs Crab and dried prawn mee.

Yes, you heard me? Dried prawn mee. First time i heard of it and tasted it. It's spicy i tell ya. Gonna go back one of these days and eat the crab again. Oh yeah, did i mention bout eating Tau Fu Fa also? hehehehe

was planning to spend the night over there but in the end, plan canceled. Around 11pm, we starts our journey back to KL. Winnie was tired and i took her car keys and drive her back along with Chriss and Janice.

Bills Bills Bills!!!

2004-10-30T01:55:00.000+08:00

Argh!!!~ That dreaded word. Everytime i get my credit card bill, Astro Bill, Phone bill, it makes me shivers down to the spine....*brrrr*

And besides, do we get any increment in salary or petrol allowance since our petrol price is increasing? A barrel of crude petroleum cost around USD40 - USD 50+. Who are we to blame? A magazine even predicted that the world oil price might even reach the USD 100 per barrel ceiling. What will happen to us then?

Subsidy? My @$$. All they do is keep on increasing the petrol price per litre every 2-3 months. And now, there's even a rumour saying that by 1 Nov, 2004, our local petrol price will be increased by RM0.32 per litre!! That's RM 1.75 compared to the current price of RM1.42.

How long has it been since they increase 5 cent per litre. One month only!!! Blame it on the war in Iraq which distrupted the world oil production. Blame it on the sudden surge of oil demand from China and India. Blame it on the Russian Government for freezing out their local oil producer, Yukos and finally, blame it on the gulf of Mexico where a typhoon also distrupted their oil production. Because of this minor things that happened, we as the end user suffer in the end.

Why no one in the world debate that each country should use their backyard oil reserves? Our's are low crude oil which contains little sulphur and it makes a good jet oil. Why would they need to export it out and make money? why not sell it to our local car owners? What we get here now are high sulphuric content oil from the middle east which only cost USD 40 per barrel. Ours can be sold for USD 50 per barrel.

oh well, it's up to the govt to make decisions for us so we just have to trust them with all our asses. hahaha

Aching Aging Body of Mine

2004-10-28T00:40:00.000+08:00

Al'rite, yesterday went for a futsal session i did. My my, i have to tell ya, it's been a while since i excercised. Playing with my colleagues, 6 guys including me and another 4 girls. 2 girls in each team and the rest have to be distributed evenly. No homosapiens with bollocks are supposed to score in that game, only the opposite sex can score. Hahaha. It was funny i must say, not that tired as we're not playin all-out as in playin with only guys and the fun part was playin with girls. Don't get any wrong ideas here. It's fun to watch them play with guys.

Playing Star Ocean 3 is getting on my nerves. With all the battles goin on, it's ENDLESS. Imagine yourself goin around the virtual town, talking to everyone you see literally~ just to get juices of what's happening around town lately and then "POOF"... off you go into dungeons, castles, desserts and etc. Searching around for treasure chest with only contains the stuffs you can buy in town, I was expecting more like unique items or special high rated weapons or armors. Lucky it's the storyline that kept me goin BUT, yes BUT i'm getting bored of it. 20+ hours of gameplay and still, i can't seem to get the best stuffs. And my bad for reading the ending in some game forum. I found out that the storyline will twist and turn to something like the matrix concept. Yuck~

I did thought of getting GTA: San Andreas but the game produced by a particular "producer" is not available. Yes, even that "ahem" version have different producer. I must get it from that particular one so that i won't have any problems playing it. The rest, i've heard a lot of complains bout the media dvd printing problems *sigh*

The Terminal Movie Review Spoilers!!!

2004-10-27T03:24:00.000+08:00

Well, on monday I did went for a movie at IOI. The Terminal~ what a name...terminal disease? hahaha.

It's practically a movie bout some nutcase got stuck in the airport. Oh~ i guess you guys know the gist of the show already. Well, his country had a coup de'tat the nite when he flew over to NY and because of this, there's no government in Krakozhia (i hope i got this right). Practically, he's unacceptable or should i say, countryless.

The airport authorities can't let him step into US soil nor send him back to his country as it's not recognised by the States yet. Pity him. Along the way, he has to find means to survive in the airport while waiting for a new government to be established in his country. A hot chic, or an air stewardess sprung into his airport life while he's been there for 9 months!!!! 9 months i tell ya!

Working as a construction worker and trying to "belanja" the 39 year ol stewardess some italian pasta really show me the different aspect of life. Well, they did fall in love but ya know, bitchy slutty stewardess left him for a guy she's been seeing. And he manage to go back to his country after that.

But i must say, he's been holding onto that peanut tin can the whole show and i was wondering, "What the fuck is inside that can?". Just like the airport authorities would like to know also. It seems that he wanted to fullfilled his late father's wish of gettin all the autographs of those great JAZZ players. When his father died, he still miss one more autograph. Billy something.

40 years of waiting for his autograph and in the end, his father gave up. That's why he came down to NY just to look for this guy. And tell ya what, he manage to find him!!! Actually, he would have fly back to Krakozhia earlier that day but his airport pal ran into the runway and stopped his plane. So there he was standing at the departure hall, looking at his fren tellin him to go out into NY to do what he was supposed to do.

And off he went to Ramada Hotel in 161, Lexington street and an autograph he gets.
