Talk about meaningless

Can't believe I just spent the last 40 mins or so just poring through flames in GameFAQS forums regarding the (supposedly gimped) Adept class in Mass Effect 2.









Ed Note: I know it looks like something people would put in their Twitter but I was a bit lazy to do so.

C - -

Todays been another freaking long day in life.





Classes - > Expo projects -> Moral exams -> more project modding.






Sean was really IMBA today

Discussing on teen pregnancy:
(words not 100% accurate, too tired to recall, but there or thereabouts. Sean, feel free to correct me)










Sean, Anu and I were discussing on an issue about a girl getting raped, being pregnant, and then thoughts of abortion, followed by our opinions whether we agree with abortion or not and why.( Just, don't ask why we're discussing about this.) And Sean comes up with this:









Sean : "For those who are pro-life, life begins at contraception......"



Me : "........you mean conception?"



Sean : "ahhhhhhh wtf wtf adfnrkjstbrkgbfeqrkkjd!!!!!"



Me and Anu: *LMAO*






and vivee decided to go on a killing spree









ok that pic was at the end of her rampage (supposedly on nick) cos my reaction was too slow, and she was real pissed when I took this. You can seriously kill a person with a brick. Or at least crush some limbs.








Got hold of weng's licence + IC


look at the IC!!!!




sooooooooooooooo cute!! muahahahahahahaha







Science Expo tomorrow. Sigh.





I know. No flow of ideas. I have failed Miss Thian (bio lecturer) again.

Epic fail

Yee Han....you're too IMBA.

Untouchable.

Basically shows how retarded my msn inbox has become.








Then again, not a bad milestone, I suppose.

Silent, Screaming Death

I dunno why I'm doing this, but I just feel like doing this





Yeah, to the few in Ausmat M-chat, you'd have probably know what the heck I was talking about. Well here it is....not quite yet.


Actually, it wasn't really a game that crossed my mind at all when Ausmat Semester break started. I got GTA IV and Sims 3 (2 games, totally contrasting in nature) initially. But since GTA IV for some reason REFUSED to work on my comp (Sims 3 worked perfectly fine, thank goodness), I went back to the shop, and since GTA IV was 3 DVD (yes, games nowadays are getting fatter and fatter...) to swap it for Left 4 Dead (nice game, but its not the topic, and its only nice playing it with people) and....of course,

DEAD SPACE.

A Sci-Fi survival horror game which pits you as an ordinary engineer sent in a team on a seemingly routine repaire mission on a planet cracker of a ship, only to find out almost everyone is dead, sent insane. And from a bunch of these human corpses, necromorphs (zombies, so to speak) are spawned out of the human husks. So, separated from your few surviving team members, you fight solo in dark, creepy atmosphere which....*takes deep breath*....









........... scares the fucking daylight out of your pathetic miserable stale life (thats how mines like, anyway) while you try to get your sorry ass out of that shithole of a ship while finding out some freaking conspiracy going on in the background while you're fending for your pathetic life amidst the bloody necromorphs.






*phew*





p.s This ain't copy pasted from a site. Its my own rendition of the gist of the storyline.







Okay, before I move on, I'll show you some..delightful scenes from the game..not my own pics...too busy being freaked to get any..










WARNING: TO SQUEAMISH ONES, DO NOT LOOK FURTHER LEST YOU PUKE BLOOD

ok you won't puke blood but oh well here goes.





















and another cute pic















All in a days work.


And a particularly interesting scene, if you'd like..















So there, a glimpse of what I HAVE to go through every freaking corner. And not to mention moments where I have to fight off a necromorph which regenerates when you blow off its limbs. Every. Single. Fucking. Time.







If any of you played Resident Evil: Nemesis, you'd probably have an idea of what its like
I never played any RE games, btw.









Will upload a video of it (Dead Space REGENERATOR a.k.a the Hunter) later. If I can find a good one. And if you even care to see it.



DISCLAIMER: Above pics and video are not mine, not from my playthrough, and nothing do with me. Its merely to give a general idea of how it looks and plays. TY.

Shiny exterior, creaky interiors?

I know, I said no updates. But this is something enlightening, especially those who are THINKING of doing medical studies in Russia



Letter posted by a person with the pseudonym "Weasley", at MalaysiaKini



Hope it enlightens some of you.

Somethings creeping up the sleeve...

The only reason I've hardly updated, seldom update, and will rarely update, is that I'm feeling the old old olddddd habit (read: gaming) creeping up again.

I don't think its so much until it'll severely affect studies....







...but it'll surely means less blog-o time.

Thats all.











kthxbye~

Oh. s.h.i.t.

On call tomorrow till 10pm.



















noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.



















p.s. I'm just an observer with SPM qualifications.

Royal flush

The wait is over.

I thought I might not be able to get it, but with God's grace, I got it.


Though I still pay the price for being a lazy ass. Only 10 subjects. Only RM8k waiver
Sean gets full.

Not jealous. Just underlining my laziness, and the ultimate price.


End story. For real now.



Now comes the harder part of life....

Pause.||

Like those famous words of Jack Bauer we've all come to love and find it so bloody overused

Today, was the longest day of my life.

1) Wake up at 6.30. Sobered up. Grabbed a light meal.
2) Rushed through the final stages of Biology research project, on environmental factors with mutagenic properties, from 7.30-10. No small act, that.
3) Just as I was about to print the stuff needed, my dad's printer gave up on me with those lovely words

Your ink may have run out. Please replace the ink cartridge.

&$#@

4) Packed up and rushed to college, crucial encrypted data in hand.
5) Once there, quickly bought credits to print (yes, to use the printing services in the computer lab, we gotta buy prepaid credits too. Sounds familiar?)
6) Saw the petite lady in charge of surveying the computer labs, and asked her to print out the supposedly crucial data and also a section of maths assignment. Deducted bout RM2 from my credits. heh.
7) Photocopied the particular section of maths assignment for fellow peeps.
8) Rushed through the maths assignment, or whatever was left of it, during....maths.
9) Completed maths assignment just as maths class was about to end.
10) Had lunch, and then proceeded to Biology class, where the encrypted data was handed in, and followed by regular lessons
11) Helped in arranging stuff for camp. And got a bit of shredding due to errors in the arrangment. So I re-arranged it. bleh.
12) Stayed back till 7pm for "aerobic exercise" practice. (more like dance routines, actually)
13) Back home. zzz.






Its not yet 24 hours. But its already THE longest day of my life. sigh.




But thank goodness for AUSMAT break next week, even though theres a trailer load full of things to do. A momentary pause for a continuous sprint. Will update more on this sapping long distance run, in the days/weeks/months to come.

Days are hard to live
And nights are hard to keep;
All I want is to close my eyes
But I just can’t seem to sleep.

Fibonacci.

Yes. I'm talking bout this man called Fibonacci


No. Actually, I'm gonna write bout what I came across in my applicable maths homework.

Question 11. d)
like, wtf is THAT, man?

checked the answer behind, and lo and behold, it was none other than.....














Fibonacci....



Fibonacci?!?!??!


what on earth is THAT?
Never before in my pathetic, existence have I ever, saw that word. Ever.


Fuelled by the desire to satiate my quivery curiosity, I continued with a simple click on google and into wikipedia....


Fibonacci's number




Its a sequence. Damn. A simple one no less.

I'm really in for a joyride this year.

slowpoke.

Pokedex entry of slowpoke in Pokemon yellow

Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time.

Slowpokes entry in pokemon red/blue

Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack.

well, I'm actually pretty worry-free, too. Most of the times anyway





No, I'm not gonna be writing an exhaustive fan-boy post of slowpoke. (uh, though it's adorable, in a way.harhar ) Instead, I'm gonna break a startling revelation for everyone whom I've known, know, and about to know (thats, if anyone ever reads this at all. Which, to the best of my knowledge, carries with it a probability of 0.0534 per person...probably.)


In everything I do, I'm about as fast as that fella up there. just pretty darn slow in (almost) everything I do. From getting up, to brushing teeth, to eating, to reading, to driving (yes, I AM slow while driving, contrary to what you MAY think) to gaming (not as high on reflex, again, contrary to what you MAY think)...


when running, (I can say it this time) I'm about as fast as THAT fella. Up there.


utterly slow in forming ideas and plans, in visualising concepts and....you get the point.


snail-like in forming impromptu (and equally barbed) responses to any sudden, stinging, scathing verbal attacks/challenges on me...whatever the reason




even my various neurones are apparently high on morphine low on ATP or maybe they just go in a longer route in coils as I take longer than a split second delay to react reflexively (which may cause a few...usually avoidable mishaps. hmm) be it from pain receptors or......neurones for carrying data brought in by light (wow, light!) through the eyes and to the brain...



sadly its the same case even in understanding and absorbing the oh-so-important knowledge, be it in class. or whatever. Even my dad thinks I should have done A-levels instead of AUSMAT cos he thinks 10 months in a course is too short for this slow brain....sigh.




On a slightly brighter note, my saving grace would be...

1) I write pretty fast. Cos' if I don't, I probably wouldn't be able to complete most of the incessantly morbid essay papers in SPM (be it English, lovely Malay, History, the Sciences or...moral.) and I wouldn't be a ble to jot down notes sufficiently quick, too.

2) I type just as fast too. Maybe a bit faster. Or a lot more. Otherwise, handling more than 2-3 conversation windows on messenger isn't exactly gonna be something enjoyable. (what with all the complaints of me "neglecting" the others. Still happens when I have 5 or more to handle, though)

3) slowpokes can confuse people (via the Confusion move), so can I. (albeit in a different manner)
















...still not good enough to balance out the slowness, eh...

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race

2 years in upper secondary.
5 years in SMK Sultan Ismail.

It ends with EST, which was probably the most fun paper in the whole SPM, if only I hadn't left out the last part of the format in the midst of the perplexity and the delirious joy of crafting the essay from the first sentence to the last drop of ink.
(screw it. They don't care much about the format anyway. They just want the elaborations. AND the scientific shit. whatever)



Goodbye. Its been bittersweet. More of a bitter taste. But it has its sweetness. Sometimes.




Regardless, its all over. And I don't even get much of a reprieve from all that. Save a months breather before hitting the ground running for pre-u. And beyond.


To-Do-List-Before-I-Die-January 2009

-Complete Fallout 3 AND Mass Effect at least once. (preferably twice)
-Sharpen up football managing skill through Football Manager 2009. Its been a year since I last managed.
-Pass driving theory exam (oh yet ANOTHER exam). And get my temporary license.
-Hang out with some dudes. Catch up on ol' times.
- Hopefully to do....something that somebody should know
-Stock up on more games.
- And even more games.
- And play them all. (duh)
- Without losing eyeballs in the process. Or my sanity.


Fine. put the last 4 together.




Its gonna be a busy December.

Tick. Tock.

Nobody's reading this at the moment. And I don't know why I'm still blogging. Or why I'm still spending hours on the comp with SPM on the horizons and firmly in view.






Heck, I can count it with both my hands now.







10 days to SPM. Brilliant. I hope the miracle salve is full. Need every.single.drop of it



Byebye. For real now. You won't me see me here till' SPM is done and dusted.
I may still reply chatbox messages, if there are any.
And you may still catch me online. hehe.



Signing off.

Oxymoron-ic.

Malaysian politicians. You just have to love (some of) them.










‘Love and Caring Act'
to rename the ISA





As coined by independent MP Ibrahim Ali in his suggestion to rename the ISA so as to "make everyone happy". Locking people up at will without trial and opportunity to defend one's self is considered a "loving" and "caring" act?









Brilliant. Absolutely bloody brilliant. Now we know why Malaysia is where it is at right now. At least politically.
But in reality, in many many other aspects, too.







25 days to SPM. Hmm......

Many things can happen in 2 weeks.

Lets not talk about trial exams. For they're inexorably boring and un-stimulating, it'd make a dead, rolled over bear roll over even more in its stenching grave.




Its not bloody over yet anyway. Theres still Biology paper 3 on Tuesday.

Fine. no more about it

***************************************************************************

News 1: 916 didn't materialize.


Joy for some. Despair for others. Kinda potong-steam to me. And its appearing more and more like a soap opera being dragged on and on unnecessarily. Anwar's proposed plan to topple the Government and set up a Pakatan-ruled cabinet has hit a roadblock. Or has it hit the wall? Only time will tell whether the 30-odd + MP's that he claims to have "acquired" is the real deal or a rant on cloud 8.5 (not at 9 yet).



News 2: The brutal kindapping-murder of Lai Ying Xin






One of the most inhumane acts thinkable, the kidnapping and the subsequent brutal manual strangling, killing and partial burning of a really innocent 16-year girl who really only wants to lead her own life happily. Why? (presumably) the dude who was ditched by her just couldn't take it. IF he really liked her, he wouldn't do this to her but instead try to make her happy and want only the best for her. But, no. He (if it really is him) only wanted to fill personal needs and when he didn't get her, he had to kill her in the most cruel way possible. And it transpired right here in Johor. When you look at that smile, and then imagine what those bastards did to her, it'll fill your eyes with tears and make your blood boil in anger as to how they could ever do such a thing to her.




News 3: Dumb usage of ISA. And even dumber reasons for using it.



Tan Hoon Cheng. Teresa Kok. Raja Petra. "Victims" (if you could say so) of the liberal, unjustified use of the Internal Security Act (ISA) by the police. Tan was released after around 18 hours. Teresa Kok after about a week. Raja Petra? Maybe they wanna keep him in longer cos they think he's a "threat to national security" with his forthright views on "that-which-must-not-be-said-or-I'll-end-up-detained-under-ISA" in his blog and on MalaysiaToday. As for Tan, Syed Hamid's reason for her detention was "for her safety". For what "safety"? How can you keep someone safe by detaining them under the ISA? The ISA is meant for people who are suspected to be GENUINE threat to national security (suicide bombers, nuclear terrorists, anthrax dealers, etc. you get the picture). Not for someone who reports what is said by some overly racist dude from Bukit Bendera.


News 4: The SPM Pendidikan Moral exam issue

The SPM Pendidikan Moral exam is pushed back 1/2 hour later than scheduled. But that ain't solving the mental/physical torture that's to be endured by 17 year old non-Muslims all over the country, what with 2 papers of Add Maths followed by Moral, which is effectively 7 hours of brain busting goodness. They HAVE to change the day. Guess they're really threatened by us "squatters"(as said by somebody) and want to subdue the majority of us "squatter" students. Hmm....what are they afraid of, eh?

********************************************************************

The Chronicles of Ahmad Ismail, (former) head of Bukit Bendera

But Chinese leaders want Ahmad Ismail himself to apologize.....

Yearp. Thats Malaysian racial harmony for you.

Of newspaper wizards and mutated buns.

23rd August 2008
A day where a group of convent girls gathered at one common place. To celebrate their years together. Of trials, hope, and lost love. Where a selected few guys attended, as well. Think we guys had a lot of fun?









Well, I forgot to mention.





Convent Old Girls.








Ok. So, lets just skip all the usual happenings as they're what you normally hear about regarding functions and all, speech, dances, food, the not-so-lucky draw, and games. Oh. yes. who would've thought that the boy who lived the squeakster Gabriel was to be the one I'd be seated next to and mingling around with practically the whole time?





I knew that quite some time ago. though









Now,the fun part. (at least, in the case of one particular squeakster)

The final touches

Y'know, Potter will be turning over in his grave

Videos of the *cough* boy who (didn't really) lived

And here are the various pics taken throughout the night (which isn't that many, really)


The same old conventional camwhore shot.


See the squeakster in his cutesy, pitifully adorable pose.






Gabs: gazzzorrr
Me: uhm. HEEHEE.


sunrae, don't die laughing.














cute buns. made with love. using chopsticks.

Phelps would find this amusing.

As reported in TheStar today.

Lin Dan : "...However, the gold medal has confirmed the fact that I'm an outstanding sportsman."




"..outstanding sportsman"




Well, that may be a gold. And golds may be hard to come by in the Olympics. But just one gold and, outstanding sportsman?






Phelps has 8 golds in this Olympic alone. And swimming is no easy feat either.






And, if Phelps were just as arrogant (but he isn't), he would've thought, "If that guy has one gold, and considers himself an outstanding sportsman, then, I might be a demi-god or something"





*shrug*

Hysteria

Last year in high school may be the best or the worst time, depending if you're loving and enjoying every single minute of it, or despising it worse than the cina peks slurring with those colourful words of theirs. As for my class, its a bunch of loons and goons on the borderline between the "elites" and "the rest" (simply put, 3rd science class out of 5, the middle) and its all wacked up. Here they are. Random expressions taken randomly. Some for laughs. But most importantly. Its the memory.

Woi. Belum sedia lagi la oy. -.-

half baked shot. take 1

Take 2

Almost ready

The end product

So early. So dark. Yet Ilmanee still smiles through the dark in spite of it.
thank my cam flash for the dark effect. harhar

Not enough sleep. Don't blame me.

Take a good look at this pic...and then interpret it however you wish.

Shameless camwhore. I know.

The gangstas

The Boss

Thats whats on my mind every time I don the shades.

Looking to the future.

My emo shot gets screwed up by that stray middle finger. bleh

This one. The only non-class related pic.





Tis' be hysterical.

Believe me.
I'm amazed as to how I came up with THAT expression.

Cheers. For now.

When the lights go out

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.








A reminiscence of "Life's Brief Candle", thanks to a 2nd blackout in less than 2 weeks. On a recent Wednesday.



WTF. Blackout yesterday at 12.30 am rendering sleeplessness until 1.30 am. Grrr. TNB better have a bloody good reason for this. 3rd time in 2 weeks now.



grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.







it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,



Signifying nothing.
