April 26

Yay, another year, another birthday has passed. I don't see anything special about birthdays and why people want to celebrate it. Its the day you're born, so what, its still another day with 24 hours LOL. I remember celebrating it when i was at a younger. Since i entered secondary school, i stopped celebrating. All i did was have a simple dinner with my family, thats it. And i dont ask for presents. I dont encourage people to get me one anyways xD Yea i am anti-birthday, so what, any problems with that!? >:O

Enough about my birthday :P Wait, that reminds me, i have the best birthday present ever from my lecturer Mr.Goh, my audit exam LOL It was a difficult paper, i had no idea what to write, or what i was writing. Today's supposed to be a public holiday, thats the special thing about my classes in Sunway, we usually have classes on weekends and public holidays. Wooo~ its so exciting just thinking about it. Not. Anyways my last paper for my mock exam tomorrow. I am seriously gonna fail both papers, didnt even revise this time around although its the mock exam, its supposed to reflect what you'll get in the actual exams but i learnt that thats always not the case. For me at least. So i always give the least emphasis on progress tests and mock exams. Another way of putting it is i am just plain lazy.

I finished Nod's campaign in C&C3. Took me 2 to 3 days, not all-day gaming though. If i have done that i could have finished it in a day :P Still halfway through GDI's campaign. Haven't played since 2 days ago. No, not due to exams, but my PSP.

My bro has gotten me into playing a PSP game called Monster Hunter Freedom. Its a great game on PSP, great for wasting time xD Its like an RPG-Action game but you dont level up, only your hunter ranks go up but i am not sure what it does yet, probably unlocking new equips and stuff. You get to craft your own weapon from the drops that you've collected. Thats the cool part about it. You get to craft your armor too.

From http://www.worldofwarcraft.com, you can get a 10 days free trial to play WoW. I am gonna test it, am downloading the game client right now even as i type this. Its now at 8% of 3.16gb. Have always wanted to test the game, might probably even pay-to-play. But i dont think i have the time for it. Exams are getting close. Starting from next week i have to at least do some revisions everyday, i think its actually achievable by me, or maybe not. I'll probably end up playing PSP or some other games or WoW. I have neither the willpower to study nor the motivation. Effect of the absence of parental control.

The following is the funniest thing i have seen on YouTube. Its some Mario level thing. Its is damn hilarious xD Thanks Xue Rui for introducing it :P There are 3 parts to the video, each spanning about 8 minutes.

Palm Reading

Anybody believes in palm reading? I just had one yesterday during lunch with the Tug-of-War team yesterday, not the whole team though, only half the team was there. It was at One Utama's Chilli's. We won rm20 Chilli's voucher from that event, that explains why we were there in the first place. Anyways, the Andy dude i mentioned in one of the previous posts know how to read palms. Mine was err, kind of accurate. Anyways he said the the lines of the palm will change over time so what is seen today may not be actually applicable in the future.

Darn, so lazy to blog now. Wanted to post some pictures on the movies i had watched recently, like Sunshine and Wild Hogs, both are only decent movies, not highly recommended. Sunshine had a stupid ending and Wild Hogs is kinda lame, it does have some hilarous moments.

One day last week, i had some difficulty sleeping. Its not that i could not sleep or anything, but the moment i closed my eyes, there was this incredible pressure that falls upon me, its like i can feel the nightmare before it happens. Ack, dont know how to explain this sort of feeling, you have to feel it to be afraid. I was really sleepy that time, the instant i close my eyes, i should have been asleep but no, thanks to the weird feeling that i have. It happened to me a few times in the past. I have to force myself to move my hands so i could wake up, but it was a difficult task. Gives me the creeps when i think about it. As mentioned before, you have to experience it to know how it feels.

Anyways back to gaming, been playing Command & Conquer 3. Its a really good game, brings back memories of the first Command & Conquer game (Command & Conquer 95 xD). Words like "new construction options" sounded so cool xD I prefer this to Generals. No idea why i dont like Generals, probably because i like GDI and NOD better LOL.

I am also playing 9Dragons, i am doing some AFK training now in 9Dragons even as i type this :3 There is a new server set up recently called Asura, its a PK (Player Killing) server where more areas have become PK zones. Its more realistic in a way. Gets annoying too if someone just comes and whack you when you are half way training or something.

The upcoming episode of Heroes is on 23rd April, next monday. I have not been watching any TV shows lately ever since i got my Maxis Wireless Broadband (which kinda sucks now due to increased numbers of users) and i connect to the DC hub on my local hostel network, no idea why. Prison Break, One Tree Hill, Smallville and some others.

9Dragons

I noticed i have mentioned a few times how cool 9Dragons (an MMORPG) is but did not really post any screenshots or anything to complement it. Now i will post some screenshots of my own character (not trying to boast on my character or anything here, my bro has a character that is at a higher level than i am) in a few of the main towns and some scenery screens. I do not care about how gay looking my character is, the stuff i am wearing now actually gives me some bonuses. And, so what if i have used my own name for my character, the game is based on the Chinese Martial Arts world, and i am Chinese, so naturally my name fits into the game well.


There are the Black Clans (Heavenly Demon, Brotherhood of Thieves, Sacred Flower) and the White Clans (Wutang, Shaolin, League of Beggars). Sacred Flower is an all females only clan and Shaolin is an all males only clan. Sacred Flower being one of the Black Clans generally means that all females are evil xD Nah, just joking.

Datong


Shi Zhang

Mount Yanmo (home to the Heavenly Demon clan)

Hefei (General Marketplace)

I am supposed to put some captions on certain screenshot but i ended up being lazier than expected. So just enjoy the screenshots LOL. In case i have suddenly wanted to post some captions, i would direct my dear readers back here again. This is like my largest post ever, filesize wise. Took quite some time uploading the screenshots.

I have already bought Command and Conquer 3, but i do not have the hard disk space to install it, damn. I am supposed to get a new hard disk this weekend when i go to my bro's place after he has gotten his PSP, but unfortunately he has not got it yet due to some new firmware problems. Yes, my bro is getting a PSP soon :D So i am probably going to Sunway Pyramid tomorrow and ask around for the prices, if it sounds reasonable then i will get one. Possibly getting a new haircut too tomorrow. There is no electricity anyways from 10.30am to 5pm tomorrow. I will rot if i dont go out.

Tug-of-War

Yesterday, there was an ACCA sports day, a sports event organised by the Sunway ACCA Club members for all the other Sunway ACCA students. My friends joined the basketball event. I went to spectate the games at around 10am. Too bad they did not win though. They were champions before. The basketball event was dragged all the way to around 3-4pm. It delayed the Tug-of-War which was supposedly held at around 1pm and after all the other events. It ended up starting at around 2.30pm. Our team (Edmond being the leader) had won :D Of course there were other factors that led to our victory. We had the strongest guy (i think) in our team, his name is Andy, my friends and I call him "dai chek lou" for his big size xD He was the key to our victory. Many people got leg cramps during the Tug-of-War. In our final match, we kind of won after the first round (best out of 3) when 2 of our opponents got leg cramps, one of which had a serious one and is on the verge of fainting. Then St.John's (or however you spelt it) came along. Andy came to assist, in fact he did most of the stuff. He even carried that guy to the bench. A nice guy indeed.

Theres also this girl in my team that owns a PSP. And she happens to be my classmate too. And the Andy guy above also owns a PSP. It'll be very cool if we can play multiplayer games together :P

For the past week i have been on a Hana Yori Dango (a J-drama) marathon. I did free up some time so that i could study, but it was short-lived LOL Its a romance comedy kind of thing. Speaking of the progress tests, i did not really go well LOL It was expected as i did not spend as much time studying as watching Hana Yori Dango. Also, one of the songs for Hana Yori Dango, is by Utada Hikaru, Flavor of Life, very nice song.

What i really want now is a new external hard disk, Command & Conquer 3 and Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles. Thanks to all the PSP games that i have downloaded, i am running quite low on hard disk space right now. At least i have more PSP games now to play xD Come to think of it, i have not even finished a single PSP game that i have LOL.

Check out this cool flash movie, its a Star Wars spoof and its funny xD
