Tips and Myths About Zombies

Zombies (often humanoid) are derived from those who are brought back to life but are unconscious of their behaviour. Back in those days when zombies are first introduced, they were slow and stupid, and have fetish for braaaaiiiinnnnzzz. Would you like to know more?

Zombies attack in hordes. There will be one zombie at first during the start of the outbreak, but do not, I repeat...DO NOT underestimate him/her/it! The zombie, if safety measures are not taken, will attack another individual and infect him, spreading the virus and if this is not under control, it will create a disaster no human could possibly imagine!

Myth #1: Zombie fluid are infectious and they must not enter another individual's blood stream.

Myth #2: The duration of the zombification process varies between individuals, depending on the blood type and immunity system.

Like I had mentioned, zombies are slow and stupid, so why bother? THIS is EXACTLY the kind of ignorance I'm talking about! How do you know that they cant RUN?! Modern zombies apparently have learnt the ability to rush. They know how to climb, run, clobber down doors, jump through windows and many more than you could possibly imagine. Zombies these days scare the crap out of me.

Myth #3: Zombies are attracted to high contrast light.

Myth #4: Zombies apparently become stunned in place when rock music is played.

Whether fast or slow zombies, they have a common weakness which is their brain! Dismembering or disembowelling them will not keep them down. In fact, their blood will splash around giving them a higher chance of infecting you as well.

Tip #1: Quickly reach for a weapon (anything that can be used to get to their brains) and start aiming for the head!

Important note: Beheading them will not end their misery because their brain is still whole.

Tip #2: Lighting a zombie on fire works too as long as they don't get too near you ala kamikaze.

If your partner or a friend is bitten by a zombie, quickly make decisions to isolate him or yourself from him. If he decides to stay behind to fight the horde, give him a melee weapon or a bomb preferably for him to take out as many as he can before he becomes one of them. DO NOT be a dumbf*ck and give him a gun when you need it more than him!

Tip #3: When encountered, RUN LIKE HELL!!!

Myth #5: Zombies are sensitive to quick movements and high pitch noises. Stay calm and move (and act) like a zombie to the exit as a last resort. Avoid wearing digital watches that make beeping sound hourly.

Heed these advices as one day (touch wood) a zombie outbreak may occur when you least expect it. A sign of a zombie outbreak is when you find that your parents are not at home, and the whole street is empty, cars parked in the middle of the road, house gates opened wide, blood smeared across windows, and crows flocking on street lamps and tension wires.

Be prepared, always remember these tips and choose your weapons and friends wisely...

My Failed Attempt On a Girl

Back when I was studying during my secondary school days, I didn't know shit about love. I know nothing about courting girls, heck I don't even have the charm like most of the other guys had in school. I was not as handsome as them, not as charismatic as them, and believe it or not, I actually had trouble mixing around with girls. And somehow I got into a relationship which didn't last too long nor genuine enough to make me realise how sucky I was as a partner. True enough, I didn't feel emotional at all after the break up (some say I have no feelings/heartless/cruel).

But then there was this girl whom I have not noticed since primary school. Didn't pay much attention to her during primary, but slowly got to know her more during my pre-relationship. She was sort of related to the whole thing...and yet I was too naive to realise what was more important.

How could I ever forgive myself for feeding the food she gave me to a stray cat. Sigh, those were the times when I was not aware of people's feelings, how it'd hurt her. Speaking of which, there was a time when she once decided to open up to me on the phone, telling me her personal issues. And what was I doing at that time? You guessed it, playing game...It was really rude, yes I know...

Fast forwarding to the college days. I remembered not attending for her birthday because I had to sit for my driving exam. I figured it was OK because I was not as important to her as her bf at that time. I was wrong...Now I realise that friends are equally as important as your life partner.

As time passed after her break-up, I often called to show that I care (yeah, I know it's kinda cheesy this way). I called with the excuse of calling for fun and guess what, the line was either silent or it ended pretty quickly. Most of the time she won't even pick up my call. I knew I was a total nuisance to be wanting to chat with her all the time, but I kept doing it regardless.

Another year passed and her birthday approached near. I took her out alone to the big city to catch a movie of her choice. If only I was a better planner, I could have made it a day she will not forget. The very evening, we got lost in the city on our way home. And then I realised if I cared a lot for her, I would have practised and familiarise myself with the roads in the city. 

On our way home, I remembered when I asked how she felt when I called her on the phone and the reason sometimes she didn't pick up my call. She said I was annoying and that sometimes it wasn't the right moment. I understood what she said and no hard feelings. By the end of the journey, how bad could it have ended when I totally screwed the proposal.

Since then, I have been living full of regrets. Why did I do this, why did I do that etc etc etc...Then came the moment when we are supposed to develope a flash application. I instantly thought of her and dedicatedly made it for her, hoping that she will like it. I sent it through email, asking her to reply if she like it, but no reply whatsoever till recently. I guess it wasn't good enough.

These events and many more took place in our lives. I was really a douche back then, and I don't blame her for labelling me "annoying". All I could hope for now is that she would give me a chance to start again, hopefully not too late.

What "Take Care" Means

You often see the word "take care" in greeting cards, emails and sometimes often heard when people finish a conversation between each other. Usually this "take care" is coupled with wishes like "good/best of luck". When I was still naive, I didn't pay attention to what it really means although it states the obvious. It's just that I'm too ignorant to bother the message.

That is until around a year ago when I started to get sick frequently. At first it was once every 2 months. Then as time passed by, it gradually became as frequent as once every month! I was not aware that the reason for the drop of my body's immunity system was the lifestyle I've adapted for a long time.

Allow me to share my opinions and advice with you readers so that you don't follow my footsteps, cause it is bad...mmkay?

1. Do not sleep later than 12am. They say that the "fire" will come after 12am.
2. Take bath frequently, at least twice a day with cold water. This is for those who have inner "flames" like me. Your parents don't have it, doesn't mean you don't have it.
3. Do some exercise/sports activities. At least you move your muscle and not grow roots. Exercising also helps the cardiovascular system improve.
4. Do not isolate yourself in a stuffy room. Try to ventilate it with fresh air as best as you can.
5. Do not always eat heaty food. For me, my throat is sensitive to spicy, heaty things. Drinking plenty of water is a must!
6. Do not take bath late at night. Don't know true or not, but they say that when you are older, you will often get headaches/body aches.
7. Control your diet
   ; Take too much of sweet stuff and you'll get diabetes/sugar rocks in kidney.
   ; Take too much chocolate and your pimples will pop out (for my case la).
   ; Take too much fats and you'll get heart failure (or is it?).

Can't think of anymore. You just have to be aware of what you consume, and how you manage your lifestyle. Hopefully I won't get sick as often as before...and now I really mean it when I say "take care" because it is very very difficult when you're weak. I've suffered enough, emotionally, physically and monetarily. 

Free-Thinker No More

Do you guys know what it takes to be a christian? Nah, I couldn't be bothered if you ask me. I am who I am and will live my life as free as a bird, doing what I want and what I like. That is until now that the bird is being held in someone's hands telling the bird not to fly away. Let me put it simply this way...

The queen of the house asked me to get baptized (a ritual to officially convert me into a christian) at a church my parents usually attend. She said that my father will be getting baptized soon and therefore her son must follow suit. She said afterall when the whole family are christians, they will get a chance to set up a christmas tree, celebrate christmas together etc etc.

If so, WHAT THE HECK have we been doing for these past 21 years?? What cards did we post to friends? What celebration did we hold on every 25th of Dec?? Who have we been praying to?? She must be crazy to think that a full christian can do what non-christians cant. But I kept it all inside, not wanting to blurt out those words to her. Later she scold me again (sort of like our government...say a bit only, ISA come).

Ok, cut the crap. She asked me to get baptized and she passed me the form. I looked at it. I read out loud, "Please sign me up for baptism....AND membership class for those not baptized and seeking membership. What if I want to get baptized and NOT be a member?".

She said the membership class is only for 1-2 hours. I was thinking "If this class is for every week, I'm gonna ponteng kowkow...whoever make noise about it, I'm gonna shoot back". So I went and filled up the form...

(click to enlarge)

Heh, my mother asked why I didn't fill up the 2nd row, where I'm required to provide my name. I said "Like they are gonna call my chinese name...and I dont think they will ever call my name AFTER baptism because I wont attend ANY classes they hold whatsoever...".

I also did not provide my hp number for the same reason...wahahha! Oh man...I will be snoozing while my father listens to the lecture during the 1-2 hours of baptism class on the 25th Dec. Haha...

Confession

Last week was just like any other ordinary week, but all that changed until the weekend approached when plans were made to go on holiday with my fellow coursemates. Complications arose between them and I, and in the end I had decided not to join them as I was the "outstanding" individual.

Whatever the reason was that caused those complications, I hereby state all my confessions to ease my mind (However, I do not wish forgiveness or sympathy from a certain sucker who doesn't know the meaning of "respecting people's rights"). Let's start according to alphabetical order.

KY - Why are you first in the list? (-_-)" Nothing to apologize for. Next!

PL - Sorry to bother you everytime with a miscall. Next time when I top up, I will send an SMS instead.

SF - Erm, sorry for blocking you? HA-HA...get that virus fixed and I'll unblock you.

SM - Sorry for having you as the middle man for all discussions. They probably thought I was not going afterall, but you invited me nevertheless. Sorry for letting you down by not going.

SW - Erm, sorry for blocking you? HA-HA

WH - Sorry for troubling you to come fetch me, although in the end I figured it'd be better if you dont, since another problem appeared "conveniently".

YF - Sorry about last week when I pretended like I wanna ffk you. I should have constructed my sentences properly cause what I meant was that my car cannot travel great distances, therefore I have to depend on people's transportation. Not that I intentionally want to ruin the plan.

ZQ - Sorry for troubling you to arrange transportation for me (although you're not driving at all). I thought you were really concerned about WH when you talked about his petrol and stuff when actually you were angry about your own damn time wasted planning for me. Give you a tip, next time when you plan, dont plan alone. Let others speak up and listen to them.

Minor Finger Surgery

I had just undergone a minor surgery on my left middle finger yesterday and boy, I am still feeling the terror of looking directly at the open flesh when the doctor performed it. To tell the truth, this thing...called a "wart", [refer here] has been growing on my finger for quite a long time, a year perhaps? I didn't think it would turn out this bad. Not to say it was in a very bad shape before removal, but several doctors have mentioned that if not treated, it would continue to grow bigger.

This wart is caused by a virus infection, so removing the dried skin wont solve the issue. Instead, it is recommended to surgically remove it together with its roots. Yes, this thing has roots! The 1st thing the doctor did was obviously to inject my finger so that it would get all numb. And then here comes the hard-to-watch part.

He held up a scalpel...then straightaway pierce into the side of the wart. Thankfully the injection had taken effect. After piercing at the side, he started CUTTING around the wart like he was gardening~ Oh man...all the blood oozing out from the sides...he did this till the whole wart was ready to be removed from my finger and when he used another tool to pull it out, the root (or was it my own flesh) was seen to be still intact with the wart he was pulling, like a blood soaked thread hanging on to a button...get the picture? He then cut it off with the scalpel. Damn freaking disgusting =_=

Later after that, he told my mother "You see what happens if I dont stitch the wound up, the blood will continue to ooze out". Ya' damn right it will ooze out!!! It freaking looks like a volcano!

It is said that the wound will healed in about a week. Changing the bandage once everyday will prove to be a challenge for me...takut-lah...

Before:



During:


Day 1: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 2: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 3: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 4: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 5: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 6: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 7: (Caution: Not for the faint of heart!)

Day 12: 



As of today onwards, I am to apply cream onto my skin to reduce the swelling and the itchiness all around the plastered area. Doctor said I am allergic to plaster...zzz...Hopefully by Monday, the itchiness/rashes and swelling will go off. The dried blood patch would have to wait a little longer for it to peel off on its own. As long as that that doesn't happen, I will not be able to bend my finger 100%, although still bend-able without any pain.

Top 10 Game Cliches (from my P.O.V.)

From my experience so far, the cliches involved in a video game is almost unavoidable. Why is this always happening, i have no idea. Maybe its because of technology limitation, or perhaps it's there to make it fun to play. Come to think of it, they really dont make much sense. Whatever it is, they are still games, and games are not supposed to reflect reality, otherwise they wont be called games, right? (oppose Jack Thompson for his thoughts on GTA games)

So lets get right to it: (not sorted according to favourism)

1. Exploding barrels - Quite many FPS action games have practised the habit of placing exploding barrels in the environment, but i cant seem to understand why these barrels tend to be a sign of enemy activity. For example, you are walking down a quiet corridor and you spot a red barrel right up ahead next to a T junction which is beside a closed door. You instantly get a feeling that a soldier might open that door, position himself near the barrel while shooting at you. You react by shooting that barrel to rid off him. Sad case for him.
   
   
2. Extremely huge boss battle arenas - While some games often build some hype around to prepare you for a boss fight, some indirectly create a psychological intension of telling you there's a boss coming up ahead when you see a huge arena. I mean come on...You are walking along the close quarters of a basement for 3/4 of the game and suddenly noticed a big ass flat plain. What the hell man, it's just like saying "welcome to a boss fight" before entering that area. I understand that this is to reduce frustration in some noob gamers should they lose the boss fight, but i still think it is a game cliche for a long long time.
   
   
3. Tonnes of ammos lying around nearing boss fights - I also noticed that when it comes to boss fights, not only does the player save his game, but he also looks around to replenish his ammuntion. Why? Not enough ammo, therefore will get owned by boss? Why? Boss got more ammo than you is it? Boss got more armor than you is it? Boss smarter than you is it? Haha, the boss can never be smarter than us human players...it's all scripted and programmed to act in phases. Anyway, why do bosses always hang out at areas that have tonnes of ammo for his rival to use against him? Why...so...stupid...
   
   
4. Blinking body parts showing weakness spot - Oh my, i cant stress how much i hated it. Which era are we living in now? Why does the body part BLINK?! Even science couldn't explain such a cliche. Why is it that that specific body part must be its weakness? Why is it that i shoot his head that he doesn't die?
   - Because he wears a helmet? Then find a way to break the helmet! 
   - Because he can cloak himself? Listen to the sound he emit and blindfire then! They dont give you lots of ammunition for nothing, right? Haha...
   
   
5. Repetitive ways of killing an enemy - I wish to use the PS2's "God of War" for this example because it uses button sequence killing blows. Why in the living hell does Kratos kill all his minotaur enemies using the same old button-sequenced technique?! Why do those minotaurs not LEARN Kratos's moves and improvise?! At least they (developers) should have made a more complicated button-sequence move for the minotaur after a few levels to provide variety. Damn, every time i see my friend play the GoW, i felt like saying, "deng lei, dont always use same move again la...sien lan dou hai la diu..."
   
   
6. Special items dropped by bosses, later levels will somehow require you to have that power - Wow, a long description but a true cliche. I'll take Doom 3's expansion pack for example. These bosses have special powers that will be passed on to the player if defeated. The player will then get to use this powers (not willingly, but forced to use) in later levels. What's up with that? Wouldn't it be more fun if we DO NOT acquire the power but instead improvise using the current state of environment?
   - Example: Boss 1 has the ability to slow down time, making him able to move at a seemingly higher speed. Alright, since now you got his power, you are REQUIRED to get pass a room filled with burning hot lasers firing at all directions rapidly. What do you do if you DON'T HAVE that ability? I would personally gather some mirrors to form a protective shield around me. I feel so cheap if i were to use that time-slowing ability...sheesh...
   
   
7. Vehicles/special weapons available to you only when needed - Like i had mentioned earlier, certain enemies have blinking body parts, some might not have. So what do game developers do? Provide you with the right weapon of choice for that certain enemy at that very moment. A tutorial will be provided on the HUD/voice overs to tell you what to do with that newly acquired weapon. Damn it, it should work how it is meant to work, otherwise why introduce it at the last minute when the enemy is already chewing on my ass?! When you feel overpowered while using that weapon, somehow the game will restrict you from using it later on in the game to balance out the difficulty. I say it's just crap...
   
   
8. Oblivious amount of weapons carried at once (hammerspace) - Talking about weapons, how many can you hold at a time? Let me list out for you.
   - A pistol?
   - A pistol and a shotgun?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, and 5 grenades?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, 5 grenades and a knife?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, 5 grenades, a knife, and a chaingun?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, 5 grenades, a knife, a chaingun, and a plasma rifle?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, 5 grenades, a knife, a chaingun, a plasma rifle, and a sniper rifle?
   -  A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, 5 grenades, a knife, a chaingun, a plasma rifle, a sniper rifle, and a rocket launcher?
   - A pistol, a shotgun, a submachinegun, 5 grenades, a knife, a chaingun, a plasma rifle, a sniper rifle, a rocket launcher, and a BFG?
   Heck, a boss doesn't need so damn many weapons to kill you alone. He play unlimited ammo cheat? Hmm, I wonder why...
   
   
9. Obvious scripted destructible environment - One noticable aspect in games (and animes) is that sometimes you can spot what can be (and will be) destroyed and what couldn't. Take Resident Evil 5 for example. The game developer boasts destructible cover over the course of the game to increase horror factor. Destructible cover my ass! These covers are so damn obvious, it's like "look, that wall is going to be broken down by that huge-titty monster!" Horror factor = 0. Another thing is that horror games ARE SUPPOSED to have destructible cover, not like Silent Hill where walls can only prevent ghosts/monster from coming to you. "Gears of War" had certainly broken the formula when a Berserker rammed through a pillar instead of going around it to get to us (yes, a two player coop game). DA HORRORZZ~~!! 
   
   
10. Unlockables/collectibles - This is the MOST ANNOYING cliche that i have been condemning. Why the F#*K must i COLLECT the BLOODY items spread out meaninglessly through the levels?!!! I mean WHY??!! Sometimes it makes sense to collect them for extras (to know more about a story, behind the scenes etc etc), and sometimes its just so damn stupid to put experience points for you to collect in a level. WTF?! You can actually TOUCH and COLLECT experience?? WTF man, WTF?! 
    - Example in real life: Go to the top of KL Tower to get 10,000 exp points for penis enlargement.
    - Example #2: Put your hand into the toilet bowl to collect hidden viagra.
    Just pure WTF nonsense...

Things I look for/forward in a video game:

1. Convincing physics - Not to be confused with crappy cheapo physics as introduced in "Star Wars: The F**ker...err...Force Unleashed". The physics in that game is pure bull...so damn many objects floating in the air after a Force Push is executed. Glitchy like shit. The remnants of fallen debris do not stay on the ground. Instead, they DISAPPEAR! Wow, physics can do that? I didn't know...
   
   
2. Adaptable Non-Playable Character (NPC) Artificial Intelligence (AI) - What more can i say. Enemies who actually know how to research on the pattern or the way you fight, use of environment to bring me down (like F.E.A.R. did, really amazes me even till now) and flanking manuevers (like Bros in Arms series, bloody hell i cant even pass the level. If only i had more grenades to be thrown behind their cover...)
   
   
3. In-game menus - I must give credit to "Dead Space" and "Far Cry 2" for revolutionizing in-game menus. The use of maps, indicators, and such are all in-game properties! Can't wait to see more.
   
   
4. Real-time actions - This plays a very very important role in horror games especially when a monster is chasing you down and you have to stop to heal. Yeah, the horror factor is quadrupled if the player discovers that there is no pausing the surroundings when healing, heheh... S.T.A.L.K.E.R. also implemented this, but i dont see the point in that since cover is aplenty.
   
   
5. Ridiculous violence (Gears of War or God of War alike) - Who doesn't like video game violence? Come on, you're lying to yourself if you say you don't...hahha~

Teresa Kok's Attackers

If you have read the news regarding the recent attacks on Teresa Kok's home, you might (or might not) discover a few significant subliminal messages that the attackers were trying to convey. For those in need of reference, see below:

 

Source

I need to point out a few things before moving on.

1. The attackers are cowards
2. They are noobs and cheapos. Why the hell use a cheap plastic bottle to make a molotov. 
3. Furthermore, the molotovs did not explode...shy or not ah...(on purpose?)
4. The attackers are clearly Malays. Not to be racist but come on, no other races are as backward-thinking as them. They solve issues using violence and threatening others. They dont like the way you do things, they throw a warning letter. Same thing happened to..what's his name..Karpal Singh if not mistaken, for dealing with the Lingam case. (not quite sure what happened here)
5. The attackers language command is uber poor. Poor command of Malay language = supposed to intimidate/threaten/belittle others? Come on...how lame can they be...sheesh...
6. Using the word "babi" against a chinese is the same thing as using "lembu" against indians. Oh, i feel so offended...NOT! Doesn't mean that the word is a taboo for your race is also a taboo for other races. Again they are being lame.

With people like that in our country, how are we supposed to be more civilised and how are we going to move forward in regards to vision 2020? If you recall, all these actions still do not fulfill Mahathir's words when he was our PM. 

Go Malays! You are the main reason why we are still not achieving the first world mentality.

How to Show the "Finger"

You know sometimes when you're driving on the road and you see another driver tailing you closely, you get this feeling of being intimidated, right? Well, fear no more! The prescription above has met your demand as it now cures all (most actually...) hostility towards that bugger.

When do you show it to him:

1. When he's tailing closely behind you.
2. When he flashes his light rapidly behind you.
3. When a driver honks violently at you for being safe.
4. When a sporty car is spotted speeding while side-winding like a drunken snake, overtaking multiple cars like the road is his father's/grandfather's.
5. When a driver selfishly owns the road by himself without consideration of others, such as the post mentioned previously.
   

Q&A

Q : What should I do?
A : What are you blind? Show him the "finger"!

Q : When exactly do i do it?
A : Simple, just as the driver overtakes you. Make sure he passes by your car completely, then you are free to show it to him. Do NOT show it to him directly to his face, or else you'll face the consequences of him crashing into your car or worse, follow you home.

Q : I was with my family/gf/dog/friends when it happened. Should i show it to him then?
A : No, idiot. Your family is the last you should show that attitude off to! Either way, you should keep your cool when others are around, else you might face the consequences (the angry driver banging your gf, killing your dog, raping your friends... etc)

Q : Wow, where did you learn how to show the "finger"?
A : It's universal, duh...

Q : Omg, he's right beside me while im forced to type this...help...you're the one who got me into this!!!
A : Do I know you?

*A reminder to all who wish to learn to show the "finger", make sure you say something catchy like "Dai sai ah, nah~!" (translation: Act big is it? Nah~!). It sure helps to release some stress on the road.

Road F*cker

Yesterday along the LDP/Kesas intersection just before the Sunway Toll, i had almost met in an accident. How did it happen? It would be quite difficult for me to describe it in words, so let's just leave the video to do the talking. I was in Car B, which was going to join the LDP road up ahead while the f*cker was in Car A driving much faster than me, also going to join the LDP road towards the toll.

How can a car drive so fast eventhough it has to take a sharp almost-U-turn-like junction and furthermore joining my road and the LDP? Don't i have the right of the road as i was clearly on the right lane? Car A's front bumper almost hit my left door and fortunately i braked in time just for that f*cker to SPEED right up ahead! WTF?! These people have no road ethics at all and i hope/wish that in future he would die in an accident involving a lori babi colliding head on, spinning his car out of the road and into a ravine, catching fire and exploding in a fireworks display. Oh no, i wont be satisfied just yet. I wish the cops would not recognise his face at all after recovering his body (assuming/hoping that he's an unlicensed or did not bring his license) and the insurance company wouldn't pay for his death as his death is called for because of consuming drugs/alcohol aka dai sei.

Look at the simple illustration below:

Bahasa Malaysia best!

It is just 3 days ago that i finally realised that the Malay language is really just a mixture of few other languages. I have tried to converse in Malay during my MSN session and found out how difficult it was to express my thoughts. Sometimes i pause and wonder what would best replace an English word during my chat session.

The Malay language is a rojak language. That is not an insult, but a fact! Take for example a few words such as:

Portuguese:

1. almari
2. kerusi
3. tuala

Arabic:

1. sifar
2. halal

English:

1. generasi
2. kondensasi
3. animasi

Still not happy? Alright then, let's exercise some common usage of English in our daily lives.

English:-

A firewall is a protective system that lies, in essence, between your computer network and the Internet. When used correctly, a firewall prevents unauthorized use and access to your network. The job of a firewall is to carefully analyze data entering and exiting the network based on your configuration. It ignores information that comes from an unsecured, unknown or suspicious locations. A firewall plays an important role on any network as it provides a protective barrier against most forms of attack coming from the outside world.

Firewalls can be either hardware or software. The ideal firewall configuration will consist of both. In addition to limiting access to your computer and network, a firewall is also useful for allowing remote access to a private network through secure authentication certificates and logins.

While many people do not completely understand the importance and necessity of a firewall, or consider it to be a product for businesses only, if your network or computer has access to the outside world via the Internet then you need to have a firewall to protect your network, individual computer and data therein.

Malay:-

Dinding berapi ialah sejenis sistem perlindungan yang terletak di antara rangkaian komputer anda dengan rangkaian antarabangsa. Jikalau digunakan dengan betul, dinding berapi itu akan mengelakkan akses tanpa kebenaran pada rangkaian anda. Tujuan dinding berapi itu ialah untuk menganalisis data yang keluar dan masuk ke dalam rangkaian berdasarkan rupa bentuk anda (dapat dari kamus). Ia tidak mempedulikan sebarang informasi yang datang dari asal yang tidak diketahui atau tidak selamat. Dinding berapi memainkan peranan penting dalam setiap rangkaian kerana ia memberikan perlindungan dari apa-apa jenis ancaman yang datang dari dunia luar.

Dinding berapi boleh datang dari bentuk barang keras atau barang lembut. Rupa bentuk dinding berapi yang paling bagus boleh dicapai dengan kehadiran kedua-dua bentuk/jasad. Dinding berapi itu bukan sahaja mengehadkan akses kepada komputer dan rangkaian anda, tetapi ia juga amat berguna untuk membenarkan akses terasing ke rangkaian sendirian melalui sijil pengesahan selamat dan log masuk.

Sementara ramai orang tidak faham sepenuhnya akan kepentingan sebuah dinding berapi (apa penjodoh bilangan untuk dinding berapi? f*ck penjodoh bilangan!), ataupun menimbangnya supaya dijadikan produk urusniaga sahaja, kalau rangkaian atau komputer anda mempunyai akses ke dunia luar melalui rangkaian antarabangsa maka anda perlulah sebuah dinding berapi untuk melindungi rangkaian, komputer dan data anda.

There you have it, the proud language of our nation. Good job!

Ghost

Ghost. What is a ghost? According to www.answers.com, a ghost is:

1. The spirit of a dead person, especially one believed to appear in bodily likeness to living persons or to haunt former habitats.
2. The center of spiritual life; the soul.
3. A demon or spirit.
4. A returning or haunting memory or image.

Now, some people might believe in ghosts, while some don't (in this case, there are some unique cases where those who don't believe in them are forced to believe because of religion/cult). To those who don't believe in ghosts, they probably have not experienced or encountered any of those eerie or spooky events that might lead to believing them.

And for those who believe in ghosts...either you are forced to believe or personally believe in them, I will not say anything to insult or isolate them. For me, i would say that i don't believe in ghosts although when i was young i was always terrified to stay home alone and have nightmares when i sleep alone. That is always the case for me because life has been so cruel (or kind?) to make me the only son in my family. Imagine;

1. Walk - alone
2. Sleep - alone
3. Stay home - alone
4. Play - alone
5. Shopping - alone

Because of my way of life, i was brought up in such a dreadful manner (always thinking that something might pop up and scare the shit out of me) that i eventually start to put aside the fact that ghosts don't exist. If they exist, i would have experienced many terrifying events while i was alone last time. I once have a friend who was always intimidated by strange noises in her place and i thought to myself, "These things can be scientifically explained and there's nothing to worry about unless its the case of a thief or something...". In fact, what's worse than a ghost is a human!

I'm more afraid of people around me than ghosts. You know, ghosts aren't that bad after all. They are souls/beings that are trapped here or in worse case scenario, just here to have revenge. Humans on the other hand, they intend to do crimes such as rape, murder, robbery, hijacking/carjacking/plane-jacking, suicide bombings and whatnot. Damn, these people need to be taught a lesson, perhaps drowning them in a pool of their own blood? Wahaha!

As I have watched many horror shows before, i gradually get to understand the nature of ghosts and why they seem to scare people a lot. They are afraid of you, so they try to scare you so that you don't disturb them (or some sort...). In other cases, people might have the 3rd eye ability that they don't realize and they start seeing "things" which make them feel insecure and frightened, thus creating rumours. Otherwise, they're just spirits who wants justice (yes, they have laws too, they were humans afterall).

So don't be afraid if you encounter these spooky/eerie events. Think positively and try to gather an explanation for what's happening during the time and of course, pray hard. Pray that the one making the sound is not someone who's trying to rob your money and kill you after that.

Here's a picture to make you feel uncomfortable:

Tikam V2

Hello and once again we were on our journey to the supermarket to do this fun activity called tikam. But before the tikam activity, we (my cousins and i) spent our time looking around the toys section and the kids' books section, searching for fun stuff to record (as usual). And here's one of the funniest (lamest?) videos for the day!



If you haven't seen the previous tikam video, i suggest you watch that first. As for now, i shall broadcast over especially for my blog viewers, the biggest and meanest twist of the tikam world. Behold!

Narnia 1st Movie, Biggest Let Down

I'm finally back from all the hellish assignments thrown at me few months back. Anyway, im here writing this because i want to express how much i hated the 1st Narnia show (yup, just watched last night and got interrupted by my sleeping mum for cranking up the volume at 2am).

The movie was...TOO CHILDISH! I cant stand it when noob kids have no sense of terror or surprise. Example, when Lucy first discovered the other dimension, she did not go "WTF?!". Yeah, same goes for the rest of the noob siblings who went "wow!" and "awesome!". I mean come on, who would not go "WTF?" in these scenarios?? F*cking weird polite kids.

And then there's the gay naked horseman cum faun cum gay cum naked guy-horse cum gay...anyway, what was i saying again...?

Ah, who could have forgotten about the black bitch...err white witch (wow, tongue twister there). She's like wait, she's a he...or he's a she? She's got flat chest! And her robe is like...freaking loose that i can see what's INSIDE! Oh hell, the chocolate i was eating immediately turned stale! Take a sneak peek below (pun fully intended).



HOLY SHIT that was...ughh~ She's the same actress who played Angel Gabriel in Constantine! And i thought the angel was a male! Holy crap...

The biggest twist in the story was that the Lion/Azlan/Aslan (whateva~) came back to life and he quoted the Deep Magic. That's just lame...Ok, let's just assume that's not lame. Good guys coming back to life is normal. Then why does the White Witch, who's a witch duh, die without ever casting any spell/curse in case she dies? Why so noob? These kind of shows tipu kanak-kanak wan...Worse than those tokusatsu and super sentai shows...at least those dont have annoying kids. Shame on big cinema productions with fake lame twists.

Be One With Your Car

One should always be calm when driving on the road. If you're emotionally unstable before or during the course of driving, bad things may happen and will possibly be fatal. I realised this just now (or perhaps long time ago?) that driving not only takes skills, but also the heart and mind.

I dont know if this is scientifically proven, but it is definitely true when logically speaking. Now, what the heck am i trying to say?! I also dont know...haha, maybe im just feeling good about what happened just now. Hoho~

So what exactly happened just now? You know APIIT-lah. Always have the "double-parking" issue at the car park beside the campus building. After calling the guy whose car is behind mine, i waited for him. Later on, the guy came and started his white Proton Satria. I waited patiently in my car while humming to the songs playing in my handphone. As i peeked at the rear mirror with my sunglasses on, i could see that he was a noob when his car began to cry out loud (alarm la tu).

Alamak...the fellow was struggling with the alarm. After a while, he panicked and straight away started the engine without bother about the alarm anymore cause he knew i was waiting. And then his car jerked forward suddenly. So panic until reverse also can mati engine meh~ Fine la, maybe once in a while mistake only. But his car died on him again.

Zzz, i came out of the car calmly and asked what was the problem. He conversed with me in cantonese...saying that the car is not his and that his friend was in the exam hall. He told me he got problem starting the car and asked me to try starting it. I turned the key and yup...the car jerked, but knew what was the problem already, haha...

The gear was initially set into 1st gear. So now that is cleared up, i turned the key and voila, the car started (yay....NOT). I went back to my car while he entered his car to reverse. Again the car died on him...(-_-")

I came out again asking him what was the problem, and he said he was not sure how to handle a manual car. Aisey...ok-la...i drive for him...This time, the gear was set in the reverse position, lol. No wonder it died on him. But i admit that the gear box is so small that i cant tell which gear i was in. I stepped on the clutch, and reversed...omg...the car really felt like dying anytime...maybe because the clutch is too "shallow" (means releasing the clutch a bit would result in an instant death...err...mati engine).

And so the reverse process is done, i reversed my car and parked beside just to see if he had any problems going back into the parking area. Then i drove off feeling proud, wahhahaha! So, kids...always remember that driving must come from a good heart and mind. If not, later accident happen, who responsible oh? (purposely used lousy english here lol)

R6Vegas Gameplay Video

Finally, in addition to the 2 miserable links *refering to the playlists* at the right side of the webpage, i have just added a new entry for Rainbow Six Vegas. For those interested, please feel free to watch them (some are recorded with "special" commentary by yours truly). There aren't many, however, so sorry to disappoint you (who cares anyway).

With that done, im now moving on to the Devil May Cry 4 game. "Ying dou BANG BANG seng ah!!!"

Barbeque (i hope babi kill you)

*Contains VIOLENT LANGUAGE*

How shall i start writing this post...hmm...let's start by stating all the things that made me (hmm, not so good starting point, let's try again)

A few weeks ago, i was informed about a bbq "party" that was about to take place (which was yesterday), and i was "invited". You see, i have a feeling that the reason i am being invited is because of (im not telling you). As sensitive and wary of such plot, that i am, i decided to give an "i'll see how" response. I was thinking...why have a bbq party when assignment submission is just around the corner? Why have it at all? Is it for fun? Is it held so that we have a gathering with those who are rarely with us? If so, why arent they the star of the night? If i remember correctly, one of the "stars" went home early cause she was expecting the bbq to start at 7pm. So, thats not the reason. Simple, the reason is (im not telling you).

And then there's this change of venue. From one fella's place in wangsa maju to someone's place in puchong. Why the change? Hmm..let's see...oh ya! The reason is because the planner is afraid i might not show up and (im not telling you also). So, when things are set, new venue in puchong. Now...the only thing left is the date. Again, this has changed many times to accommodate a certain someone's timetable (im not freaking telling you!). There are many times when dates changed back and forth from friday to saturday, and im sick of it. Make up your mind!

Alright, enough of that already. Now, for the night itself. As expected, the planner has done his "one-man-show" quite impressively and all thats left is finding the host's house. Note that the planner IS NOT the host. He is merely USING the host's house so that (deng, i wont tell). What kind of **** planner is that?! I was still able to tolerate that, fortunately. The journey begins to his house.

I drove to Kinrara's housing area, searched for the house with the given address in my hand. I looked all around, circled around looking for the house, but no luck. I called many "friends" and they all gave me the "i dont know where's his house" answer. Apparently they all met up in tpm, and one of them led the way to his house.

So, what i did, i called up the planner himself, asked him for the directions...and he DARE TO GIVE ME THE "i dont know how to tell you his house" reply. Fcuk you man, you are the PLANNER, why are you being a jerk at this moment? Cant you see you are being irresponsible for EVERYTHING during that night? Fine, i slammed the phone and called up the host instead. He said he was busy (busy driving? busy tfking? busy doing WHAT?!!) so again...i slammed the phone. I called another "friend" whom i thought was with him, asked him to describe how to go to the place...but all i get is "aiya, i dont know la, you call him la". Dei, if i called him and he told me already, i wouldnt be calling you la...stupid...

I refered back to the sms he gave me regarding the directions to his house. Yup, im pretty much at the right place, just no house number 20...I tried asking the guard house regarding the address that i was given, and he said "masuk dalam saja, boleh nampak". Diu...the guard himself show me wrong direction. Fcuking idiot...

I waited alone in the car with the lights off, lost all hope and even thought of going back to my home to have sweet bak-kut-teh with my parents. Let me recap the situation:

1. All of my lovely "friends" dont know the host's house
2. The planner is a noob, only cares about (i wont tell la...)
   
3. The host was busy and couldnt describe the direction to his house cause he's chinese educated (learn english la sei fei noob! dont know why people call you God when you cant speak english, diu)

Ok, so when the planner arrived to come "guide me" to the destination...he drove his car on the WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD. Nearly bang oncoming car...fcuking noob...Want to park car also never put signal and i almost bang his rear. Somemore dare to reverse immediately! Bugger, he really let me horn kow him...already destroyed my mood, somemore want to enrage me?!

I finally reached the house and confronted the sei fei noob hai. I asked him straight to his face:

Sic: Just now when i called you, where were you?
God: Err...uh..huh?
Sic: Just now i called you ah! Where were you?!
God: At home
Sic: You were at home and you couldnt help me by giving directions?
God: I dont know how to give
Sic: (fcuking tell me your address and at least come out FIND me laaaa) *walks away angrily*

Wonder why i have such "friends". Sometimes i wish i could isolate myself from them. Sometimes i wish there was someone who REALLY CARES and not just fake it out, and USING me. AAAAAAARrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I GO SLEEP NOW! Angry like shit now...frus like crazy...

Musical Shows

The other day when i was chatting to a buddy regarding a movie, he mentioned that i will definitely "like" Sweeney Todd. I was like..."uh...who's that? Sounds gay to me." Sure enough, he explained about that gay and yep...he was indeed gay (well not really gay, just...ah nvm). So...yeah...Sweeney Todd is a barber who kills his victim in his barber shop, while singing. Yes...SINGING. How gay is that!

He's right about me "liking" the show. The following conversation took place:

Nic: You know phantom of the opera?
Sic: Ya, the movie or the novel?
Nic: Movie
Sic: OMG...musical show??!!!1One!11!!
Nic: Ya, lol
Sic: NnnnoOOooooo... do not want!!!11! Kill a bit, then sing?
Nic: Is kill while singing...lol
Sic: wth...singing = not nice
Sic: imagine transformers movie become a musical show~~
Nic: then become kids show already LOL
Sic: then imagine Armageddon become musical show~~
Sic: Twinkle twinkle lil meteor, how i wonder what you are...~~
Nic: XD
Sic: Potong stimzzzz
Sic: Then imagine juon is a musical show~~
Sic: Ghost come out that time...suddenly got "bollywood ghost" dancing also
Sic: Alamak~~rosak habis movie...
Nic: I'm a ghost...and he is my son~~ lalala~~


And this is why i dont like musical shows...i still remember watching "The Sound of Music" and now i know why my father used to say "ceh, not nice to watch wan" and my mom will be like "what?! you think your F1 VERY nice to watch is it??!!"

(-_-")


P.s. Can anyone describe to me how an AvP movie would be like if it's become a musical show? Hmm...Curious...

Different Levels of Noob

Its not easy being a noob. People will look down on you and disrespect you for the noob that you are. Life is not easy when you're a noob because everything will be damn bloody difficult to catch up.

I was just arguing (friendly argument) about comparing who is more noob than who, and since the person is my senior, i have deducted that i am 1 year noober than him. He claims he is noober than me, and then i thought to myself, "what if there are different levels of noobism?".

Let me list down all the levels of noobism i can think of starting from the highest:

1. Uber nub (spelling wrong on purpose)
2. Nub noob (wrong spelling to stress the level of noobism)
3. Totally noob
4. Noob-like
5. Noob
6. Not-very-noob
7. Not-so-noob
8. Act-noob

This is only for the noob level, which is before the beginner's level. So imagine what level i was at during my foundation in APIIT and what level of noobism i'm at NOW. I'm quite certain i achieved level 6...hahaha!

P.s. But seriously, i know "some" people who are currently at level 8.

It's Alive...It's ALIVE!!!

As of 12th March 2008, my wife is being brought back to life...or shall i say, being "reincarnated". She began to breathe again, half mechanized by circuitry running through her veins and organs. Due to that, she makes rather more sound/noise than before even when she is in standby mode. The evil genius that brought her back to life reminded me to spend more time with her as her lifespan may not be guaranteed. As he went on, he mentioned that she is only satisfied if i accompany her for more than 2 hours a day.

Any less than that would mean that she might go crazy again. Ever heard of the saying "humans create monsters, monsters kill their creators". It's something like this in my case. Anyway, the journey to the evil genius' place was insane. Drove all the way to KL and missed the turning to enter the parking lot...because of this, i had to go all the way to Lake Gardens (Taman Tasik Perdana) to make a U-turn. Argh, roads in KL are really terrible. If not having U-turns is not bad enough, wait till you see the amount of 1 way roads. Just as you thought you can turn round that junction, BAM, another 1 way road leading to god-knows-where.

Oh yea, no pictures of my wife this time. Just the pic of the road sign i managed to capture while driving (WHAT??!!).

Multiplayer Gaming

Multiplayer games have started to become more popular than single player games during this generation of games. Why? Multiplayer games bring friends and gamer communities together where they can share their experiences and talk about it, or sometimes laugh about it. However, multiplayer games may have some consequences during playtime, which is what i'm about to discuss.

I enjoy owning the crap out of others (anyway, who doesn't?), but i like doing it with a bit of strategy and sometimes just plain fragging (no thinking involved). But what i really like about multiplayer games is that you can cooperatively plan your mission on-the-fly depending on the situation. This feeling of self-satisfaction can be very rewarding if the team is well-coordinated and communication is the key to success.

The sad part of this is that some players who play these games do not even bother to cooperate, thus lack of communication. Some players prefer to be a one-man-army (if so, why the heck bother to play coop multiplayer?!) so that they can show off how good they are in gaming. It's not important which side wins, i'm just looking for a fair game where everyone shares the same mind and effort into making the gaming experience unique in its own way. I do not care WHO wins, it's HOW you win that counts.

With that said, when i read through some game forums the other day, i found this article to be quite true (in fact, it's damn true!). I'm still looking forward to my PS3 Year End Project. Multiplayer is going to be so cool...

Death

Death. A word that describes something or someone that is no longer in this world. It brings sorrow and grief as a whole and often results in remembering good times as well as the not-so-good ones.

The time was 2:45am, 2nd March 2008, on an early Sunday morning when i was surfing the web on my personal computer and suddenly that tiny little voice in my head suggested..."hey, it's time to rest...go play some game now". And then i told myself "why not?".

After setting up to play with my wife, who was sleeping at that time, i nudge her a few times to wake her up. i held her hands but it felt cold like a dead bride's. I opened her blanket and nudged her again, no response. And then i went close to her face, she was not breathing! I double checked her heartbeat...not pounding! Her lips were pale. Suddenly i felt like the world's on my shoulders. Everything is stumbling and crashing down...flashbacks of the times i spent with her began to run through my mind.

Is this it? It's only 2 months after our anniversary, how could you do this to me. You accompanied me through thick and thin, and now you left me without saying goodbye? Is that how you want me to feel? I...*sigh*

Valentine's Day passed without having me getting you anything or any special moments...*Holds her hand* I'm so sorry I couldn't do anything...sleep tight and may you rest in peace...

*at least she went away peacefully in her slumber and didn't suffer a painful death*
















Maybe after this i should be getting myself a PS3. We'll see how everything turns out. Wahaha, i smell a new wife coming into my life soon...very soon...

Post V'day

Since tomorrow is V'day, why not i post these links so that i can motivate myself more. Maybe these will help me in future, who knows...

How to Get Your Girlfriend to Play Video Games

How to Find a Girlfriend Who Likes Video Games

How to Have a Relationship With a Shy Girl

Feel free to browse around the available links at the websites. I find them very...informative...haha

As for me...i'm still leading a bachelor's life...so pitiful, but at least im free to flirt around (YA, RIGHT!)

Gotta Buff Up!

Due to yesterday's public humiliation, i now feel determined to get myself in shape. Despite the fact that i am lazy enough to go to any gyms, i managed to find myself some alternatives as to how to buff myself up. These methods are quite conventional as they involve using household items.

• Push-Ups - can be done anywhere on the floor

• Pull-Ups - performed on the staircase while hanging from the 2nd floor

• One-armed Weight Lift - using mineral water bottles / oil containers

• Sit-Ups - on the floor with a pillow supporting my back and my legs hooked under the bed
  
  

I haven't got the time to upload the pictures (cause don't want my parents to find out about this), but it will be up soon. Question is, how often should i exercise and for how long? Hmm...

The Black Guy

I cant even get a good night sleep now that the memories of yesterday keeps haunting me. Everything seems so jumbled up in my mind that i dont know where to start. Its just so...%@#$

Ok, let's start from where it began. I went to college, got a seat in the lab, logged in with my id, and stared at the blank monitor screen. And then i placed my bag on the chair while i went out to "get some fresh air" while waiting for the lecturer to come.

When i realised that the lecturer has come, i went back into the lab just to find that some chinese idiot had MOVED MY BAG AWAY and LOGGED ME OUT of my pc. You know what, i REALLY REALLY understand it if you want to sit with your dear "FRIEND", but please...how dare you shift my things away from my place!

Fine, i acted nicely in front of him and sat on a seat beside him that was vacant. Someone's files were on the desk although the pc was not logged in. So i went ahead and logged in myself. After a while, there was this uber black guy who came near me and said:

Guy : Excuse me
Me : Oh *got up from my chair, expecting him to take his things away*
Guy : *sat on my chair*
Me : Excuse me, this is my place.
Guy : Nope, this is my place.
Me : But you are not logged in. When i was here, this pc was vacant.
Guy : I came here first, but i couldn't log in. So i went down BLA BLA BLA BLA BLAH...
Me : Yes, and while you were down, i came. So its mine now.
Guy : Nope, its mine. *looks at me like a SOHAI*
Me : *Looks back at him sternly for a long time*
Guy : *Continues to use pc*
Me : Alright fine *logs off the pc*. Here, take it (with angry tone). *walks away*

Stupid idiotic thick face black nigga...yeah call me racist, why dont you take a good look at yourself in the mirror first! You bring shame to your kind, and you people are bound to burn in hell. By then you people will be as black, if not darker than charcoal.

*sigh* and then i realised that it was me who made the mistake for giving my place to him. I was just being polite and all...i would have fought back...but what can i do...im just not fit enough...i cant even defend myself, how am i supposed to protect others...*low esteem mode*. Guess i'll never be like those who are able to stand up for themselves. Nevermind, i'll try to sleep now that i've got it out of my mind, hopefully i'll get over it soon enough...

Tikam V1

I went to the shopping mall in OUG with my cousins, JDream and KV, and as usual...we always go to the toy section to check things out. This time around, they have a few new additions in their toy department. There are of course some lame and funny ones.

We had also visited the kid's book section, where there were many nursery rhymes and story books on display. The funny thing is that some of the English nursery rhymes are so new that we never heard of them before. Some are even hilariously ridiculous/ridiculously hilarious (whichever way you put it) with the usage of English words today, it can bring an awful different meaning. For example, lets start off with the nursery rhymes books:




What does it mean? He doesn't like Doctor Fell, alright. But why? He says that he cannot tell the reason why he doesn't like him, and therefore repeats himself by saying he doesn't like Dr. Fell. WTF?

Whats the whole damn point of this nursery rhyme? Weird f**ks teaching weird things to kids...no wonder kids these days are so eff-ed up.




"...and so the Prince rescued the Princess and they both galloped away on his cock......horse, and lived happily ever after..."





Err, due to the frequent usage of "certain" English word in this paragraph, I guess I'm not at liberty to say what it means, but I'm pretty sure you know which word stands out the most. I love cats too, just that it's weird to see someone writing something about a pussy...*OOPS* =p

OK, enough of the nursery ryhmes already. Now we move on to the top 3 funniest video of the day! Wait for it...wait for it...

3rd funniest video of the day goes to...the "Tikam for the 1st Time" video:



And now, the first runner up video of the day is...the "Dolphin" video:



And the finalist that made it to the top, the funniest of all videos, with the most annoying and addictive song goes to...the "Thomas Train" video:




*P.s: You should probably try to put it as your ringtone or something. It might just annoy the heck out of you, hahaha!

"Karas" Craze, A Must Watch!

There's a new anime that i'm currently watching, named "Karas". This anime is divided into 6 episodes with the first 3 episodes in the first DVD called "Karas: The Prophecy" while the second DVD is called "Karas: The Revelation".

This anime, or some might call it as OVA, resembles the Kamen Rider series a lot. However, it has a darker motif and is much more violent (think about the Guyver and Garo series). The summary can be found here. And to those who wants to know more or are curious enough, you can have a sneak preview of the trailer for the 1st DVD below:

Created Sidebar Links

I had created links at the sidebar of this blog to make it easier for you to access my videos. It is a lot easier to navigate around and with the videos removed from my blog, the loading times are reduced a lot. I will put an update notice once a new video is available (or perhaps place a link).

Happy Chinese New Year

Alma Wade from F.E.A.R. wishes all of you a Happy Chinese New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai! Note her red dress and massive "firecrackers" behind. Aww, how emo-prosperous...lol

-dont know what title to put-

It's weird how i always think of my blog. It's like i want people to know its existence, and at the same time, i want it hidden from the public so that i can write all about my private stuff here. I'm sure there's a word to describe this, i guess its called "oxymoron" or something. This blog is generally my e-diary as well as my game video log. I wish i could find a way to separate the two different archives but i guess i cant change the server's codes. Too bad...

Speaking of archives, for those who have been reading my blog for quite some time (which i highly doubt) must have realized that the archive section was gone. I must have accidentally deleted its codes when i erased some of the html codes in the template. Now its back up, you can browse through them if you wish to.

I'm writing this now because as i said before, i would temporarily quit instant messaging. That brings me to notice the dreadful webcam sitting on top of my LCD monitor. Right now, its "eyeballs" are closed shut, and i'm just wondering how long it will stay shut. Did i just waste my cash on it? Apparently not...well, that was in the first place. I got it because i had a reason to use it. And now the reason is...perhaps gone.

What was i thinking?! Getting a webcam to video chat with someone. Actually she's not just a "someone", but rather someone special...someone whom i thought could turn my life upside down and inside out. We did many things together, made fun of each other, chat like there was no tomorrow, did many stupid things (haha)...and that was just when i thought we were "meant to be"...

Results

And so now i realize that getting good results isn't everything. It just secures my future so that it would be stable...financially. What i was missing all these years are my social life and i realized now (with a blow) that being able to communicate with others also play a major role in my life. Having said that, i decided to quit instant messaging temporarily to see how far i can go.

I really need to get a life of my own and not depend on others. This is very very depressing...

Things That Dont Change part 2

Before the New Year arrived, many Penangites gather around Gurney Drive to celebrate. That's alright with me. What's not alright is when i read some forum about some incident that happened at Gurney Drive involving Ah Bengs (and possibly Ah Liens?). Some cyclists were cycling pass the big crowd when some stupid ah bengs started to spray snow-sprays on them. They even pushed those poor cyclists down and start stomping on their bikes. I mean come on, how noob can they be??? What does stomping on the bikes prove them to be? Some jacked up morons?? Police came soon after that only to be targets to throw those cans at. Some ah bengs were arrested for vandalising and being mischieve. Padan muka to both parties. New Year coming also want to act like children. Malaysia Boleh!!!

My parents asked me this question before: "games games games, when only you will stop buying games". Sigh, one day, it shall be my turn to ask back "when only you will stop buying number (lottery)?" I mean, there's no logic in asking me when i will stop buying games. I already bought the console to play games, right? It will be VERY STUPID if i were to stop buying games and have the console there collecting dust. IINM, last time parents are the ones who encourage us to read more storybooks. Games are a form of storybook, its just the way it tells the story that is interactive. I dont read boring novels and books...i enjoy pop-up books though LOL. Hey, at least games are better than buying lottery, you know...Lottery...pfft...waste of money. Better go invest in something more useful la...

Haih, a part of me says "its ok...let it go...hold too tightly, the bird will die...let it loose and the bird will come back to you" (sound so lame~~). Another part of me says "keep holding on to what you want to achieve, dont let it go". As a result...i have mixed feelings. Like for example, A (guy) and B (girl) are couples. B wants to go dancing with C (guy). A says no problem since he's just her friend. After that night, B talks a lot about C and plans to go out dancing more often with C. A feels isolated although loved at the same time. A confesses that he is jealous of B and C so close together. B and C shoots A by saying they are just friends. A feels guilty. You know what i mean...

Things That Dont Change

The new year has been ushered in 17 hours ago. It was a bad start and it keeps me wondering why we are such fools to welcome it with arms wide open. Does it really bring a whole new meaning to the world? Does it change things like how we wanted it to be? Does our new year resolution really matter? If they all matter, why do nations still wage war against one another? Greed...ego...satisfaction...pride... all sorts of excuses. It makes me sick sick SICK!!!

Last year, the government said that they wont increase the price of petrol until 2008, well guess what? They're so smart that they planned to increase the price starting 2008! As we are celebrating the New Year (honestly i dont know what's the hype all about), they will be laughing their @$$ off at how foolish we, the citizens, are our ignorance. The reason I bring this up is because during other times when there's no special ocassion and when the prices increase, there will be many forms of strikes by the people to show how displeased they are. Pathetic. We all know oil are running short, and we need to find an alternative. Does price increase solve that? No. they should be hiring and paying more to scientists instead!

Another unrelated thing that i want to mention is that some people talk before they think. I am one of them, although not as bad as what im about to mention. Some are totally ignorant of how others feel, and they think its funny. Take for example a situation where A insults B using A's mother tongue language. B will definitely be oblivious of what the crap A is saying. Is this how immatures insult others? They cant speak in general terms, therefore uses own language to insult? To me, A's just a noob. If A and B are of the same race and A insults B using their mother tongue language, it is not as hurtful as the previous situation as far as i know. The worst is when A, who is not the same race as B, starts cursing using B's mother tongue language. I think i know how it feels now...

I remembered an advice given to me by my ex. She always said "dont always assume". Why she said that? Because im always the one who is too observant of her surroundings, making me the one who does all the thinking. I always tried to make things better by assuming the worse, assuming what she will do, what she will think...etc...And in return, when things dont go so well...she gives me the "dont always assume" sentence. I mean WTF?! So, im supposed not to assume...fine...Then from then on, i stopped assuming. She gave me lots of "signs", i purposely ignore because i dont want to assume anymore...and what do i get in return?

1) "you dont know how i feel"
2) "whats wrong with you?" <- in this case, she ACTS like a caring person

So which is it? Do you want me to know how you feel without me assuming what you're thinking? You think im psychic? I was just your bf and you are supposed to tell me if there's anything. You shouldnt have said that i shouldnt assume. I even tried it on a lecturer about a maths question, and he replied "i thought this you should know how to do" proves that we are supposed to assume. So your theory about "you should not assume" sucks.

A lot of people ask me why i always like to stay at home. They say "So sien la stay at home, dont always watch show and play la". Well, screw you guys. What do you do when you go out? You go to the cinema (equivalent of watching show), you go for mamak (which costs a bomb for a drink that has cockroaches in it), go for sports and spend time with friends. Yeah right...spend time...
Like spending time with devils. Ask me to go out "spend time with friends" is not the same as making fun of me. Im always the subject to get bullied. If thats what you have to offer me everytime i go out with you, then no thanks. You guys go ahead, i dont need you...pretenders...

Im also sick and tired of planning stuff that nobody wants to participate. Stuff like asking people out and planning or organizing something big, just to be told "if nobody go, i wont go". What the heck is that?? If everyone says the same thing, then no need to go la. People who says that, have no decision making skills. Why cant you just say that you can go, and let me do the rest of the planning? Then i will decide to go with it or to cancel it when there are not enough to participate. Idiots...

To be continued...
