Last day in 2004 loh…

Excited?? No… Nothing special…. just an indication to show that school holiday is almost over (Not for me lah of course…)… My mother starts to go back to school for meeting, as well as my father too… But me? Still sticking in front of the monitor… Going to pay a visit to Kita again during the school reopening, gotta prepare for Form 6 liao… Sigh… So fast… Those aftermath mess still not yet cleared completely… Many things don’t know how to manage – throw or keep? Throw or keep?… And then everything returns as if I never touched them… (Lazy dog…)

And the HP VCD hunting? Sigh… Out of stock… Just like when I want to buy RE that time… Soooooo stupid…. Oh ya, I met RE: Apocalypse VCD too… But I didn’t buy it… (Hahahaha….)

Tomorrow me and my family will be having a gathering at my uncle’s house… Well, it’s to introduce my uncle’s (From Australia) daughter’s (My cousin sister lah…) boy friend… Kinda funny… Just like calling relatives to come over to see my son-in-law… Heard that he is handsome and rich and is from Hong Kong… And that makes my parents (Including my eldest brother… Well, he can be considered as my parents liao… Kekekeke…) to make a hypothesis that he maybe is a son of those “black-societies” in Hong Kong… There is a story about him too, saying that he can immediately buy another brand new car on the next day when his car has got crashed… Oh well, as long as he is not my brother-in-law, I don’t care that much lah… Maybe we won’t even see each other again after this gathering…

Take a look at this screenshot…

After some time of Generals, I started to get tired liao… Then I changed to PS games… This time it’s Silent Hill… It’s soooooo chilling, until I didn’t sweat… (-_-!!!) Creepy leh… Until I have to arm the gun all the time… The monsters is odd too… All of them are like naked dragon flying or walking around the town… (Okok… Those walking are dogs lah… but still naked… What I mean “naked” is they only have a pinkish coloured skin like humans…) But I still haven’t meet with any spirits…. Any ghosts there???

Whacking the dogs with steel pipe is really satisfying while kicking them is even fun… (After being frightened by them… But those flying “dragon” cannot be whacked… Must draw out your pistol…) I think that the game will be more frightening if no radio is available… The radio will “ring…..” (Which I hate the most…) everytime you get near an enemy (Or vice versa)…

The main reason I get tired of playing war games is because of Rise of Nation… (Sorry… Comment again…) Well, the gameplay while developing your empire is quite fun (But toooooooo many things to take care of), but not when other starts to invade your territory… Their troops is massive… (Oh well, on the graphics again… Those rockets when fired looks like plant watering mechanism…. Cannot compare it to Generals lah….. Kekekeke…) And then I tried another skirmish again and get myself an ally… And developed my empire without much worries… And then I start to invade other people’s territory by using nuclear missile… Only till then I know what’s Armageddon countdown (Which will decreases each time a nuclear missile explodes… And then when it reaches 0, everybody including me loses) Not only that, there’s also a backfire too at your own economics, called nuclear embargo… Sigh… Cannot bombard other people suka hati liao… And finally I used nearly 4 hours to complete a game… WTH…

Infact, if you reach the pinnacle of research, there’s 4 final research available for you… One of them is Missile Shield, which disallow other people from firing a missile at your base… Meaning that is everyone got this research, the nuclear missile is useless… Sigh.. There’s one more even ridiculous, that is Artificial Intelligence research… which enables player to create units instaneously… After the research, war became extremely tough and boring… First, you go and attack other people’s city, then after some time their army will come after you and after you finishes them, the city is rebuild, then you try to destroy the city again, and then in a while their army will come charge at you before you complete your job… Tired….

A new year has come….. What awaits us???

Nonsense-s again

Know what? My parents are taking their exam tomorrow (What they call as PTK – Penilaian Tahap Kecekapan). Hohoho… Finally it’s their turn to be tested… I still remember those teachers at KPPK/NUTP protest the test saying that PTK will only embarrass themselves… (Well, just for your knowledge, only 1% of the teachers passed the test. Whoa!) They even have a demo for that… (My mother took part too) After that, some adjustments have been made and then those teachers started to calm down finally…

Well, I have a little bit opinion… Didn’t they realise that their students are facing the same fate too?? Yes! All of them are pressured by exams!!! We have nothing else to fear but exams, right? Those teachers just don’t understand how suffering a student is… Sigh… And now, when they are pressured, they immediately retaliates… Haha… What a show… They should now taste the cruelty of exams… Muahahahaha…. And for the government, *Muak Muak Muak* thank you! (Oh no no no, I didn’t mean to tease my parents… I didn’t I didn’t I didn’t I didn’t…. Did I? Hmm… Maybe…. Kekekeke…)

After completing the 79th challenge (Over 111 challenges) in NFS, I finally got the 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GTR (Which is the best car in the game) in the options to trade in…. I quickly trade it for 9000 something and then test its power in a drag race… And find it – really superior – until I get totaled so easily… Sigh… Even I got the best car but still I can’t make good use of it… (I still remember the moments during Chinese New Year, we sat in front of my cousin’s computer and then we will shout “Talented!!!!” when he/she gets totaled….)

Just in case you don’t understand what I mean… When you crash into one of those annoying trafics in a drag race, you will see something like this…

This screen is too common for me… (How embarrassing…) Even I myself also yell the word “Talented” after knocking down those stupid cars…

I knew that someone will be very anxious about something after I had installed the graphics card (Only if he got read my blog lah)… That’s right, Rise of Nations… Haha… Now you shouldn’t worry gua…. I got play lah… Very very very very thank you for your birthday present lah… I not yet forget lah… But just, I wish to comment a little bit loh… Don’t angry ah… Err… I just don’t understand why does it need a good graphics card since its graphics are not so… er… good (Just too usual, like. I can hardly believe this is a game released last year (2003, transition period mah…)… The graphic is er… worse than Age of Empires… The smoothness is just like watching an animated gif… Don’t angry ha… But except the graphics leh, the gameplay is quite interesting lah… Just don’t know why the enemy get progressed so fast… And then the “Learn to play” scenario cheat people one.. saying that I can build my empire at my own pace… but actually there’s an enemy nearby… And then he attacked me!!! And he also progressed as fast as I did and develop nuclear weapons earlier than me… Now I really wanna ask: How can I build my empire at my own pace???

Okok…. enough of criticising…… I know he is jumping now… Don’t angry loh… I appreciate its uniqueness loh… OK? Anyway, I’m getting interested in your Civilization wor…

*The two paragraph above is just bullshits and catshits is the one I mean is not reading my blog. If you are here, please let me know that things above are not nonsense-s pls… By dropping a no-name comment oso can…* (*_*)###

Guess what? I start sticking to my monitor a bit lesser… Instead, I choose to stick to my TV screen… Found that the show shown be Channel 9 at 11.30 pm is quite interesting…. (Weekdays only) On Monday they got 周日八点党 (Jacky Go go go) which mainly invlves cuisines in Taiwan… And then on Tuesday got 世界真奇妙 which shows a lot of weird (But not disgusting like Fear Factor lah) and fun things around the world… They usually put up quiz which is really really interesting… Then on Wednesday got 少年特工队 (Young Force) in which we can see 5566 in action…. Very funny sometimes… Until I nearly hurt my neck again…. Then on Thursday got 综艺最爱宪 which is also a very funny show (Especially near the last part… Got neck-hurting hazard also)… What’s on Friday? I forgot liao…

Dramas are also my cup of tea too… Currently I’m chasing 大长今 (Jewel in the palace)… Quite nice… Later maybe I’ll chase 荷兰村, don’t know nice or not…

Plan to hunt for some CDs tomorrow as my parents are not at home…. Maybe including Harry Potter’s movie (Ori of course) and Kung Fu Hustle (Pirated of course)…

Natural disaster? Inevitable lah…

Yup, I think you know what I mean, the earthquake and the tidal wave which rob away many souls in Asia… How devastating… Let’s pray for them…

Well, looks like mother nature is angry with us again… Humans still couldn’t fully understand her temper till now… Let’s see… different magnitude readings from different countries… What does it mean? I don’t know… Couldn’t these countries detect the tsunami before it reaches? I don’t know too… Isn’t that we human have already invented earthquake detecting device? Sigh… looks like they have failed to predict this disaster…

Thanks god that I didn’t choose to go to Langkawi… Hahahaha… Don’t know what happened to Pangkor Island leh??? Hopefully it’s “not” destroyed lah… What a concentration of other people’s memory… :P

Huh? What did I say???? Nothing…

Go lah go lah… go seaside summore lah!

What did I say again???? Nothing…

Well, looks like it’s time for me to forget it liao… Okay, let’s do it… 1… 2… 3… Puff! Yeah, I forget it liao!! (Wah… so easy…. idiot lah you…)

In case you don’t know what I am talking, those are just nonsense of the nonsense…

WTH…

I am going for F6…. not college, not A level and not matriculation (Then what for I am busy-ing for it?? Hmm…) Which school? I personally feel that it doesn’t matter (Maybe it’s just a result of being a student in CH) gua… My mother isn’t that “excited” in looking for another school liao… Sigh… Seems like I gotta stick with CH and “learn” (Maybe teach) Physics from the giraffe…

How to assemble a PC leh… My brother told me to install a new hard disk into the computer (Bought together with the graphics card last time, funnily the graphics card is installed but not the hard disk)… Maybe after I bought a new piece of RAM first and do it together… And yet another question… How to install it as well? Never touched to hardware before… Sigh… A hardware idiot… Don’t know whether is it a problem to install another piece of 512 MB RAM with the one currently on my computer is 256 MB… Sigh…

My internet connction recently became very bad… Don’t know whether it’s a work to promote their Streamyx…. Hahahaha… Think too much liao… But anyway, I really hate my phone line connection and envy other people’s broadband…

Looks like my blog is getting towards more like VIP… (Very Idiotic Posts)

Still in the state of hollow-minded

I’m still being a slave to my computer, no idea of what else to do… Mother keeps finding odd odd punya job in odd odd punya location – last time it’s in Ulu Langat, this time it’s in Puchong… Sigh… Should I say thanks god when she found a job at One Utama?

Felt guilty liao (Even more when someone is highlighting me…. Don’t know what I mean? Well, forget it…)

My cousin brother (Mother side) is here… His target is not me, but my precious notes… You know how precious they are? Well, let’s do the maths… RM 180 times 22 months approx. equals to RM 3960!!! Hehehe….

Heard yang saying that he’s going for A Level… My mother then suddenly became interested in A Level and urge me to enter it now… Sigh…

Borrow? No…. Borrow? No…. Borrow? No….. Argh……

Got stucked??? Clear it off by hook or by crook!!!

Got stucked in NFS Underground today, it’s a drag racing in which you’ll need to manually shift the gear in the best timing. At first, I tried to handicap all other racers by lowering my own engine performance, but it still don’t works – even if I played in Easy difficulty… This problem clog me in that race for a whole afternoon… Then I go and check the statistics after another defeat and surprisingly find out that the other racers didn’t even do one perfect shift while I have done all of them perfectly… Hey, this isn’t a fair race! The computer can even get a higher speed than me! Well, in this case, I decided to use my skills perfectly and plus some nasty tactics to win this race… I carefully watch my speedometer until it reaches the perfect rpm and then shift my gear, and then the nice part – I used backview constantly to see what’s happening at my back… Well, they are all so close to me that I decided to block their way – they go left, I blocked it, they go right, I blocked it too, and if they are near the sides and trying to overtake me, I pushed them and let them crash with the wall… And finally, I am the nasty winner!!!

Anyway, I wish to talk more about the game… I first played this game on my cousin brother’s computer during the Chinese New Year holiday this year (2004 in case you’re confused)… I found the gameplay is quite nice and challenging, especially those irritating trafic on the road which will usually wreak havoc to you (You can really pop some dirty words out of your mouth while you crashed into these stupid cars… like me… hahahaha….)… And now, I find it really worth playing, and the music is nice too – too bad it can’t be played using ordinary player, I’m planning to extract it using Total Recorder…

There’s a few types of racing in this game, they includes the ordinary circuit racing, sprint track – racing from point A to point B, not a complete circuit, lap knockout – similar to circuit racing but the last driver is knocked out each lap which means you cannot be the last driver in every lap, time trial – racing from point A to point B in a given time, usually for unlocking unique rewards, drag race – racing on a straight road, but you will have to shift the gears manually, getting perfect shifts is vital here, and the last type is drift race – sliding your car around with style in a wide circuit to get points, they call it as 飘移 in Chinese… and I hate drift race the most as I always get to knock the walls…

About Generals… I’m still inefiicient in managing supllies (Keep getting insufficient funds)… And still wondering what defense is the best…. Sigh… Dare not to challenge other people in cyber yet… Hahaha…

Planned to buy one more piece of RAM for my computer…

Christmas is over, too late to say merry christmas now, I’ll say Happy new year instead!!!

Another Snapshot

Here’s another snapshot of my once dreamed game – C&C Generals.

See what’s there? There’re 4 Particle Cannon shooting at a command centre. This is the fun thing of this game – we can build more than one superweapon…

A snapshot

Know what does this means? Hehehe… This is a screenshot of my long dreamed favourite game – Need For Speed: Underground… Taadaa!!! I have already bought a new graphic card!!! Yeah yeah yeah!!! It’s Asus ATI Radeon A9550 Gamer Edition finally…

No more sleeping liao… Going to look for C&C Generals after this….

Consequences of fighting cops…

While I am busy looking for CD-Cops cracker (Not edible though), some stupid adware is installed on my computer just as what a cracksite usually does… (Those stupid toolbars and stupid programs plus stupid shortcuts…) Then I looked into the Add/Remove Programs and saw many programs are installed without my permission… Then I angrily uninstall them one by one… Maybe they know how to revenge, my system has gone cokkuu after that… After a reboot, my Windows 98 has been corrupted and cannot be started as well as the registry is totally empty… Reinstallation has been done after that… I have to look for the back-up registry to recover it too… Sigh… I stopped cracking the dictionary now… Other people’s property will still be other people’s property… But it is really an annoyance to pop in the CD every 30 days…

And my PS2? I let it go… Why? It doesn’t seem like it’s the proper time for me to buy one now… I can only play it for a few months only and after that? My STPM loh…

But you know, I won’t let something go so easily before I got anything else… Mother has granted me to upgrade this PC using the money… Definitely the first thing I will do is to buy a 3d card which will enable me to play NFS and C&C Generals… I know it’s a little bit stupid… Sigh… I’m so stupid…

Going to hunt for it tomorrow, should it be Asus ATI Radeon A9550 Gamer Edition? Or MSI Geforce FX 5500? Maybe I’ll buy another HDD and a new CPU casing too… PS2? Wait after STPM first lah… (I’m that “determined” you know?)

This time I got a new dragon egg and got myself a golden dragon… Now my garden flower deplete even faster… The two dragons seem like getting on very well, don’t know what will happen next… I thought I read something about rubbish eating dragon? I today I’ve just done my first try to bake a cake… And the result? A fire…

Busy doing crimes…

Busy fighting CD-Cops now… Because of the original Macmillan English Dictionary CD have an copy protection which needs me to insert the CD every 30 days for verification… But the problem is – the CD will soon be my mother’s school’s property… CD-Cops Decrypter fails to complete its task on both Win98 & XP as it crashes… I’m trying to properly clone it by CloneCD… Nero can’t do the job… But it’s still irritating to insert the CD every 30 days so I really need something to “kill” the CD-Cops… Help me…

A little correction for my Makin’ Magic discoveries… Finally I found the basin for making nectar in the Miscellaneous column… And the way my sims making nectar is way too funny… First she’ll change into her swimsuit… At first I thought she wanted to swim in the basin… But soon she stand in the basin and step and step and step as if she was dancing… Until the juice is ready…

My dragon is still stupid…

Makin’ Magic

Tested out the EP today… Interesting EP it seems… Got many things to do (and take care of)… But my sims become tired very quickly in the Magic Town… And also, where is the thing to make nectar? In which expansion it appears? Sigh… Got lots of berries but don’t know how to use…

I still remember how the Beauty and the Beast charm turn my whole family into donkey-heads… And the dragon, first I got a Burnie – who burns everything down in my house… Then I set it free… Next I got a Torch… Eating my flower… Sigh… What kind of dragon is this…

Last night I went to One Utama too… I went to its MPH too look for the Macmillan English Dictionary CD with my mother… We went to the “Customer Service” counter… Sitting there was a Malay-looking lady… First I asked about the CD using BM… Then after a while she answered me in English… After I asked where is BB plaza to my mother (In chinese), the lady answered it for me in Chinese… Walau!!! Trilingual leh… Luckily I didn’t talk anything bad about her…

The MPH Bookstore is so enourmous…
