Just finished HL2: Episode 1 on my console...zzz took me around 5 hours or so to complete...super short game compared to HL2 itself. Anyway, yesterday i showed my parents this thing called "Google Earth" because i wanted them to show me the direction to some place (dont want to tell, later you all say i noob). Like all parents, they are curious of what this Google Earth is. I just briefly told them that it uses satellite images (not live images) to simulate places of interest (or rather the map) of the world.
Haha, can see that they are impressed and even MORE curious about this "application". Nowadays, if i plan on going anywhere...i can just look up on Google Earth to see how to go about going there. Very convenient indeed. No need for such big paper maps, folded a thousand times. I only need those when im travelling oustation (and i almost never been outstation without my parents).
How nice if Google Earth can be downloaded and be used in my car...that way, i wont get lost anymore...haha...(so lame). Ok la...i continue my HL2: Episode 2 now 1st...
(edited: finished it at 12:45am, 30th Dec 07...swt...)
Ps: Have to restart the damn Assassin's Creed because auntie uncle all so noisy until i cannot hear the cutscenes...now the story dont know talk about what ****

No Time Lor...
OK, so i got all the games i wanted this holidays. Just when it seems as though everything's perfect...a new problem arises...TIME!!!
Time:
Time:
- A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.
- An interval separating two points on this continuum; a duration: a long time since the last war; passed the time reading.
- Some even say time might be the 4th dimension of things to come. (ok, i faked this one)
- SoF = Finished
- Naruto = Currently playing (update: finished playing on the 20th Dec)
- Assassins = Just started, and will not continue till i finish Naruto because of its controls complexity
- Mass Effect = Will not start yet, due to its lengthy gameplay and deep storyline
- Call of Duty 4 = Also will not start yet
- The Orange Box = Consists of 4 games which are Half Life2, Episode 1, Episode 2 and Portal (played them before on the PC except Portal, but just wished that i could try out the HD version on my xbox hahahahaha)
- 21st - 23rd Dec = will be on holiday in Ipoh
- 24th Dec = resting day and going out for a midnight show/celebrate x'mas eve (just an excuse)
- 25th Dec = going out again to celebrate x'mas

Hate Hate Hate!!!
Exam over already. Now do what? Sien lor. Still waiting for my games, dont know when only can go and buy. Many people ask me why my blog dont have pictures, actually to be more specific...why don't have LENGLUI pictures.
Those of you who knew me for a long time, should know why i don't put up girl's pictures. But for those who doesn't know (or knew already, but still so patt~), it would look like i'm promoting for them. Take friendster for example (yes, friendster bashing time!!! Die friendster DIE!!!). F-er (short for friendster, for noobs who can't spell "friendster"...yeah i know there are some out there...no need to deny...) is a place where you get to create a profile and update details about yourself. Basically what you do is to sign up for an account, look for your friends, ADD them to your buddy list and search for strangers who are hot. Yes...i know...im hot...Anyway, I think its best that I point them all out in point form.
Text Customization
Sometimes when i visit people's profile pages, and when i feel like adding them...i just couldnt decide which button to press because the text have all been changed. Yeah, sure...customizing text is a good way to show that you have some personality, but why cant you just leave it as it is? For example, "add as friend" has been changed to "hook me up" or "hit me baby"...That's just totally gay.
Annoying Automatic Music Playback
Sometimes when I'm just browsing through people's profile, I often get interrupted by the blasting music coming out from the music player in their pages. Sometimes its so bad that I even got a heart-attack by the sudden boom of the player. At least you should have just put some calm music that helps relax the reader's mind, and NOT giving them a hard time reading. It's even more gay that sometimes the playback cannot be controlled by the player.
Ridiculous Fonts
Fonts are important as they help the viewers and readers to navigate around the page with ease, but once these fonts are misused and mixed with the inappropriate page theme as well as colour scheme...they can be disastrous, trust me...I've seen the worst. Some people tend to colour their text fonts by having this flashy effect once the mouse rolls over them, or once the user clicks on the links. Sometimes its so random that it makes me wanna puke. Ever seen invisible fonts? I had to highlight that column just to see those hidden words that does really matter much to the page.
Buttons That Appear as Pictures
Some people just want to be too creative with things. They can think of all sorts of things...including turning that "add comment" button into a BIG FAT "+" symbol. If this is not bad enough, how about turning the whole profile page into some sort of kiddie puzzle where you must literally GUESS what each of the symbols/pictures mean. Gosh, that...i can tell you...is REALLY GAY.
Translucent Page
And what's with making a page that is almost invisible to the eye? What's the whole point? I mean, you want people to view your page and at the same time you're preventing others from actually viewing your page? What are you an oxymoron or something? Or are you trying to show that, "Hey! Look at my fancy background! I'm making the page invisible so that you can view my background or wallpaper better!". Idiots...
Flashy Backgrounds
Some profiles have animated moving backgrounds while some have flashy backgrounds. Yes, FLASHY as in *blink blink* backgrounds. I must admit that some people are very good at creating an environment where the background portrays a calm and soothing feeling. But for those extremists...(don't know if they realise if they're just too stupid or ignorant)...FYI, flashy backgrounds without any relevance is a pain in the rear...Am i supposed to be hypnotized by those flashy images so that i am zombified to view your dumb profile?
Noisy Flash Comments
Sending a comment or a message to another person or friend is very thoughtful. But it is often annoying to view a profile which has many comments with those flash music on. Stuff like birthday greetings, christmas cards, and "i miss you" flash messages...imagine all playing at the same time. Probably the f-er (thats Friendster, mind you...) group should start working on creating special pages just to view e-cards or something.
Fake User Accounts
Although i have never been added in f-er, i've always wanted to search for girls (HAHAHA). But what i often find is that they are not always what they look like in their profile picture. Potong stim like shit. Search for 18 year olds with cute and pretty face, only to be HORRIFIED by their auntie-ah lian-ah poh looks. Furthermore, sometimes can even see them posing like cats...dogs...bunnies...apa macam pun ada...tak malu giler...
Purpose of This Whole Thing? Is it because you're ugly?
Finally, once you manage to go through all the above reasons of why i hate f-er (actually still got more reasons...), you might think...thank god its over. NO, its not over yet! What if one day you stumble upon a profile which actually COMBINES ALL THE ABOVE ELEMENTS. That is one hell of an idiotic lifeless freak with a FU-creativity-level-BAR.

My Darling Got Mood Swing
There was one time when i was with my darling on my way home from college. She seemed to be pretty calm but unstable at times. Here's the general scenario: Don't know why, sometimes when all the doors are shut and locked, the lights on the dashboard would indicate that the doors are still open. I suspect that the wiring has gone crazy yet again. I didn't think it would be such a big issue until that day...
I was with her on my way home along the Kesas highway when suddenly she went crazy. She started to make lots of noise, as though she was jealous or something. Or maybe she was having her "time of the month"? I was reaching the Sunway toll already and queued slightly at the TnG lane. Totally embarrassed and frustrated, i could only imagine all the other motorists looking and staring at my darling and i. I quickly paid the toll and decided to turn off into sunway (PJS9) instead of heading straight towards the LDP (the cable bridge that looks like the Penang Bridge). She was still screaming and calling out but i couldnt do anything...furthermore...road before turning into sunway was jam.
I actually drove quite impatiently by sticking my bonnet close to the car in front, and revving my engine quite violently in hopes that the cars would give way. I thought i'd stop by the road side in sunway to see to her, but after i turned into sunway...she immediately silenced. DNS WTF is wrong with her?? After turning into sunway only keep quiet~~ Somemore the road there more jam~ Malang betul...luckily she didnt make noise anymore...otherwise...paiseh like hell~
By now i think you should have guessed who or what my darling is...if not...shame on you. Until now, she is still unstable although she didn't make any unnecessary sound. Damn, I'm your master man! I bathe you, i drive you, i sayang you...why did you have to do this to me...(not enough TLC kua). Hopefuly tomorrow she don't die on me or at least don't cry out loud again...

I'm Back...So What...
It has been almost a year since my last post...a dreadful year i might add. Many things have happened throughout and the most outstanding one was me getting married. HAHA, not...
Married to my xbox that is...Putting gaming issues aside, i've got many other things to rant about. First and foremost (why do i sound like sunita?!), many people asked me why i stopped blogging. Hmm, good question. I DIDN'T stop blogging...i merely just got distracted by other events, you know...stuff like assignments and what not.
Now that i look back at my blog template with all those html codes...i began to become blur~ Dont know what codes are for what already. Nevermind, i'll get used to it...eventually. Since now is my holiday period, i can peacefully rant just about anything...yes, ANYTHING...that includes all the hate in the world that i can think of including you.
So who shall i start with...hmm, i know one friend (i use the term loosely here). He's like always trying to follow what God says. Either he's too religious, or that i'm just too sensitive about the "Oh-almighty-God-thingy". Yeah, speaking of which, i dont really like to think of myself as being a Christian...as a matter of fact im STILL not a Christian. HA HA...that felt good. As for this "friend", he even put his msn pm as some quote in the bible. I think that he's just trying to show people that he reads the bible. Oh FGS, do you even need to tell people that "oh, im reading the bible cause im a christian. oh i go to church cause im a christian. oh you shouldnt do that cause you're a christian BLAH BLAH BLAH~"
Good thing i blocked him (and he still doesn't know this). Then everytime he comes over to stay for a night, he'd be like "tomorrow i want to wake up early because i want to go to church". I mean, why cant you freaking choose a day to overnight and not having to wake up early just to "go to church"? Guess i should delete him from my contacts too...well not just him. I had issues with other people with the same mentality as well...
For those who are christians and do not show that you are those "God did this, God did that" kind of lame stuff, i salute you. I do not hate God, i just want to distance myself from people like that.
And that goes the same for those teenage rock bands in small community churches. They thought they could attract more people to embrace the religion. Yeah, thats fine...but WTF's with changing those original hymns into some unholy rock song with unbalanced tempo and beat~ Yorrr, so noob la. And the singer is always the one smiling when singing. Tell me why so happy? Must you even have a reason to smile while singing? Is that smile supposed to make us go "wow, he/she has a wonderful smile. i must join this church to see her smile more"? When i sing, i dont smile. Why? Cause when i sing, i become ONE with the song (OMG what nonsense am i talking about =_=).
Time to stop, if not i'll go crazy and people will starting shooting me.
