The Drawer

Two days ago, i thought i had lost my bank draft. It mysteriously disappeared. The last i remembered was i left it in the drawer. I was positive that it was either in the drawer or on my desk because i would not have carelessly left something so important somewhere i could not find. i searched everywhere, drawer, under the table, desk, cupboard, under my mattress, everywhere LOL. In the end it ended up at the least expected place, under the drawer. Got so annoyed and took out the drawer to check again, then it was there, along with other junks i though were lost forever, one of them is my moral studies certificate LOL. Probably because my drawer was overflowing with junk. Anyways glad i found it. Stupid drawer.

Progess Test is up tomorrow and friday. Still have not revised properly. My laziness says it all. The longer i am in ACCA, the less i am afraid of tests. Well, i am still afraid of the actual exams, just not the tests and mock exams. I know its to test our knowledge of what we have learnt so far and its application. But the motivation to study just isnt there. Compared to last time, we have only one progress test, now that made it two. And the first one just have to be on the week before results are released. I think its a complete waste of time for the first progress test. Who the hell want to revise when the results are so close. Its just my opinion anyway. Why do we have to study and revise?

Back to PSP stuff. I downloaded Lego Star Wars II The Original Triology and Star Wars Battle Front 2. Lego Star Wars is cute and fun to play. Its funny too. BattleFront2 is similar to the console and PC versions. I played it on PS2 a few times, and on the PC too. The controls for PSP is not very hard to master for BattleFront2, once you get used to it, it should do fine. However, there is a lack of a story-based campaign and online multiplayer. Oh and another thing about Lego Star Wars, it has very smooth graphics, probably because they are only Lego bricks LOL.

I had also downloaded Initial D Street Stage. Its in Japanese but the menu is easy to figure out. Just cannot understand the story. The gameplay is exactly the same as the arcade version. Damn hard to play. Compared to Ridge Racer 2, RR2 was a piece of cake. The cars i used were Subaru Impreza and Mazda RX-8, obviously my favourite cars. My bro prefers RX-7 to RX-8, of course performance wise, RX-7 should be better. He keeps calling me a noob for liking RX-8 xD

There are a few cool games coming up very soon, besides the Final Fantasy ones i mentioned in the previous post:

1. God of War (October 2007)
2. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (November 2007)
3. Dungeon & Dragons: Tactics (May 29)

In Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, seems like we'll be playing as a secret apprentice of Darth Vadar, in the era between Episode III and IV and your job is to hunt down the remaining Jedis and Force sensitive ones. Its available on other platforms too, like PS2 and Nintendo DS, sadly not on the PC. Not much screenshots on them yet, there are some on D&D:Tactics but lazy to upload xD

There is also an expansion coming up for Elders Scrolls IV called the Shivering Isles, and its already released. If it is going to take another 100hours of gameplay, i am definitely getting it :D

Graphics of Elder Scrolls IV as sexy as ever.

Jade Empire, another cool game. It was released in XBox a few years back. Now its on the PC with improved graphics and stuff. My bro bought it and finished the game in around 20hours, in my opinion, quite a short game.

And how is my blog's wallpaper? :D I know it has made the words difficult to read. But that is exactly what i wanted, to make people's life not as easy LOL.

WooOOooo~

WOOOOOOOO~ Its been a long time since i last posted here (this sentence sounds familiar but what the heck). Contributing factors are me being lazy (duh, as always), a last-minute-crazy-project-that-cause-me-stress (like I ever get stressed up except during exams xD) and my beloved PSP :3 Yea, i bought a PSP a few weeks back during Chinese New Year, with my angpow cash :D Yea i know its kinda late now for a PSP when PS3 just got released but i dont care, i am going to get both anyways, wait till the PS3s can be modded to play "ehem" games *whistles*.

Check out the cool graphics of Crisis Core: FFVII

Now my PSP has found its true purpose. I intended to get a Sony Ericsson K618, didnt know how the PSP idea come to me, and i happy to get a PSP :3 Think my bro is going to get a PSP too, hes still unconfirmed. But i hope he does, then we can play Ridge Racers 2 or any other multiplayer games together :D Just so fun to be able to race with my bro :3

As of late, i lost (not completely) interests in playing PC games. Its weird, i grew up with the games. Now i have my computer everyday, maybe its lack of disk space that i dont install games, or probably due to studies (yea right). Super Nintendo, PC, PS, PS2, PSP, Fat Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, so many systems i have played on. Its just probably temporary. My gaming self is probably hibernating or something.

PC games that i currently have with me now are Dark Messiah, Gothic 3, Neverwinter Nights 2, Need For Speed: Carbon, Elders Scrolls IV Oblivion. I only finished Carbon and Oblivion, Carbon was quite short, whereas i spent 100+ hours on Oblivion. See how crazy i am before xD Neverwinter Nights 2, hmm, its a good game, but for some reason i cant seem to play non-stop, unlike Oblivion, probably lack of the open-ended element. But dont get me wrong, NWN2 is a great game. Theres one feature that i wished Obsidian Entertainment has implemented as they did with Knights of the Old Republic series, the press "x" and sabers swinging thing. I have to say, i like KotOR series more than NWN series, not just because of the "x" thing but because its Star Wars. I had also dropped 9dragons. Dont be mistaken again, its a highly recommended free MMORPG. Like i said before, my sudden drop in interests in PC games caused that. I'll probably be playing it in the future. Then again, i think i am going to spend more time with my PSP :3

I still hasnt forgotten my PS2, just that i dont have a TV over here so i cant play. I miss her T_T How i wish i can play right now, so much joy has she brought to my life. To able to play Final Fantasy games and Kingdom Hearts series, its amazing. Come to think of it, i have not even completed FFXII yet xD The KH sequel and future FF games will be release on the new gaming console, PS3. Like i said before, i'll be getting one soon. Another cool PC game will be coming real soon. I have played its previous releases, in fact almost all of it. From Command & Conquer 95 to forgot what its called xD I dont really like C&C: Generals though. Last time when i was young i used to like strategy games alot. Nowadays i prefer RPGs.

Command & Conquer 3, hitting the shelves world wide on 28th of March 2007, which is next week :D

My life has not really changed much since my last post, except that i have a project to complete. I am supposed to pass up today, need to finalise with my mentor (Mr.Goh) first. Hes having a meeting until around 1.30pm. So i am making this post to fill up the time. Theres always my PSP but i figured its been too long since i posted here :P

There was a presentation of my project 3 days ago. I have to say, i suck at giving presentations. I forgot most of the additional points that i wanted to add in to make my presentation more interesting. Another reason for the suckiness is probably due to my anti-social behaviour. Mr.Dinesh (my paper 2.1 lecturer) commented that i should keep my hand of my tie and use more hand gestures xD

Oh and i passed all my exams last round :D Though the marks were abit below my expectations. I could have done alot better if i were disciplined enough to drag my ass to my chair and revise constantly. Wait, my ass is on my chair most of the times, just that my computer is on the desk so i cant study o_O Anyways, this round i am determined to pass both my papers too, although i havent started on revising anything yet.

I have been watching alot of movies lately too because Jason's girlfriend left for Australia for further studies and hes bored at home. Nowadays, technology has made movies so realistic and its amazing. The latest movie i have watched, 300, is very very cool. Its about 300 hundred Spartan warriors fighting dont know how many thousands of Persian soldiers. The combat scenes are so cool, heads fly, swords and shields clash, mountain of dead bodies and even elephants falling off a cliff. The graphics are spectacular. There are other promising movies coming up soon like Spiderman 3, Shrek 3, Pirates of Carribean 3, Harry Potter and the something somethin, etc.

Anyways i'll end here. This post is getting too long xD Need to get ready to see Mr.Goh and end this project once and for all.
