And a miracle it was.
To those who know my Year 12 result, know that its indeed, a miracle.
More than just the overall ranking score itself, how I did in one particular subject stunned me, and others, more than anything else. Dwarfing all other just-as-worthy achievements impeccably.
It was something so unprecedented, so shocking, even, that it can be declared a miracle.
Anyway, now that results are done and dusted, time to get back to sleep and gaming all I can before the time of endless, sleepless nights torment me the rest of my life. For real.
And I'd appreciate any info on a PSP, its pricing, best deals, etc that you know of. Might have to switch gaming approach from heavy mainstream gaming to lite, quick-fix gaming, in light of aforementioned sleepless nights.
Some of you may actually know my REAL reason of getting a PSP....
supposing I even decide to get one.
I'm just considering, bummer.
Wonder how it'd feel like the day my gaming life ends.
Miserably.

Time for miracles.

That time of the year. Again.
Christmas dawns
The eve draws to a close and the day itself draws nigh
Christmas itself has different meaning to many people
For Christians and some curious people who know about it, its to celebrate the birth of Jesus roughly two thousand years ago.
For the others, its probably santa, his reindeers (or not) and multicoloured wrapped gifts, candies, sweets and of course, the warnings that come with being a naughty kid.
For those whose idea of Christmas is neither of the aforementioned two, its probably just another mundane day, where the cycle of survival continues.
Or something else I don't realise.
Anyhow for a random info I'm installing FIFA 10 while typing this.
Speaking of which my Christmas gifts were....(surprise SURPRISE)
Borderlands
Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor
Need for Speed Shift.
FIFA 10
Actually the last 3 were my brother's choices. Only Borderlands was personally requested. By yours truly.
I'll play all the others anyway. Cos they're decent games too. I suppose.
Soobs I sincerely, dearly hope you're right bout this game (Borderlands). If not....well, lets just say I might just take something straight out of a Nazi guidebook and run you through with it.
Just kidding.
In fact, I think it'd be better to lend you the game so we can both perhaps go at it together online which would be a helluva lot more fun than solo-ing.
Lets hope it works out.
Moving on...
Final Fantasy X was a great experience.
At time of writing this I've clocked in approximately 155 hours of gameplay in one playthrough
Although admittedly most of it went to ol' repetitive grinding.
Its rewarding anyhow.
And I've yet to be fully prepared for the ultimate boss of the game.
All goodgreat things must come to an end.
And so will my FF X run. In a few days time.
Damn I rambled on games for about nearly the whole of this post.
But thats all I did for my holidays
Cos I'm expecting next to zero time for games come varsity life.
So yeah happy gaming, shopping, partying, sleepover-ing, turkey feasting, and gift tearing to all of you.
And to fellow Christians lets just say Happy Birthday to Jesus
And cheers to AUSMAT results in 6 days.
Dammit...

A charade, I will not condone
Acceptance, an overrated facade.
Bonds,
born of charades,
acceptance as a facade,
held only by lies and deceit.
A false reality projected
But in reality, reeks of Nothingness.
In short,
I will not be where I am not wanted.

In between the lines
Same old thing everyday
So, Ausmat is over.
Play eat sleep play eat sleep.
Most of the Ausmat-ians seemed to have thought that this Ausmat year
I wonder if my brain will rot at a faster rate now than it did post-SPM
is one of the most enriching part of their lives,with close bonds and whatnot
Maybe I'll join them zombies in Dragon Age.
Nothing wrong with that.
Or what was it again...darkspawn? yeah. Darkspawn.
Just that Ausmat was basically just another year for me.
The tall ones, Hurlocks (not Horlicks) reminds me of the Locusts in Gears of War.
Could be that I never felt THAT welcome.
Or maybe the Stroggs in Quake IV
Or maybe its just me and my aversion for socialising of most sorts.
Quite cute, I must say.
Or maybe I just didn't care.
Though they're the last thing I want to see when I awake.
Does it matter?
Time to get more games though.
I know for a well known fact theres talk behind my back. Not nice ones, I'm sure.
Too bad Assassins Creed II for PC won't be out till early next year.
With all the polite charade. Like I'll fucking fall for it. And like I fucking care.
Bummer.
Thing is, Ausmat isn't such a big deal to me. Its over. Thats it. Its over-rated
Same goes for Mass Effect 2.
And that basically means I have little or nothing to do with most of you anymore.
I'm itching for those.
Not like any of you care. And neither would I.
Guess for the next round of games its gotta be Left4Dead 2, and Borderlands
Having said that, there are a few people who I'm glad to have known. Or known better.
Hope Soobs is right bout Borderlands
Sean, KX, Weng, Pat, Myron.
Actually he is right.
Maybe a few more. Just that I don't really know them well.
Sometimes.
Later, Ausmat. Not quite the year I hoped it would be.
I put aside my motion sickness with FPS games when it comes to COD 4, Left 4 Dead, and now COD 6.
I'm just waiting for the next, and the most unpredictable phase of life.
Hope I can do the same for Borderlands.
University.
Why do some awesome games just seem so near yet so far...

By flight. By wheels. By foot.
Today was...somewhat fulfilling but not something you'd say "fun"
2 flights in a day.
Walking non-stop for a total of....5 hours. In batches of 2 hours and 3 hours.
y'know, that basically covers all the exercise mum nagged me to get this whole holiday, in one day.
Worst of all.
No afternoon nap.
But of course I said its fulfilling.
I...
-Spread my wings and took flight for the first time after 4 years.
-Got an interview done and over with.
-FINALLY got a pendrive. FIRST ever. All this while I relied on....various bizarre means to get my files across.
-Of course...I exercised. Walking round Low Yat Plaza for a good 2 1/2 hours in KL, up and down the terminals, and in some parts of Subang. Of course if you noticed, not in chronological order, cos you can't really imagine that.
I"m tired. All the plane flights, bus rides, taxi rides, and of course, eXeRcIsE. No more blabbers.
Nights.

W for Willpower? NOT
I promised myself I'd blog more after TEE but it seems that its not happening eh?
Should you be surprised?
Am I surprised?
Are you?
Well, don't be.
No matter what I tell myself to do.
No matter what I Try to Force myself to do
No matter if mum&dad nags me to stop
No matter if I've been lacking in exercise.
Fact is.
I'm a gamer at heart.
Almost nothing else can displace that.
Well nothings absolute I would believe.
So its not Nothing but Almost nothing.
I'll never know what might displace it, or fail terribly in displacing it.
But there might be something
Or more.
But whatever, I've digressed.
Thing is I'm a gamer.
Or rather, more of a gamer than a blogger.
So there.
I'll still win the battle of wills every now and then.
But I lose most of the times
Byee!!

World of Nothingness
Ever since I broke free from the chains of bondage (I know its overdoing it but heck...) post 11/11, I finally, (officially) began my gaming spree.
I know today's 13/11 but just assume I'm talking like it was on 11/11. I just somehow didn't think of writing my Independence Speech on the Actual day of Independence. Sad, I know.
I actually spent that whole night revamping this blog. Who could've known being simple can take just as much effort as being complicated?
Anyway 11/11 ended just like most days.
Only with a bit of shouting.
A bit.
Cos not everyone from Ausmat have broken free yet.
Some ended Today. (Science w/ Econs combo)
Some end only on 19/11. (Science w/ Comp. Sc., OR business combo, which includes Comp Sc)
Poor buggers.
But amongst them is one who's gonna nab an ATAR(TER) (just treat that like an auzzie relative-ranking score) of 99.95.
Who's da mystery man?
Yes its a man.
And I'm not Sexist.
It just happened to be a man
Or is he?
If you're even half-observant you could've seen him being mentioned somewhere in this blog not-too-long ago.
Okay back to my life...if you can call it one.
I've been gaming most of the day. NOT including time spent on biological needs (eg. eating, loo-ing, sleeping) I spend probably 98% of the time on the comp. And it pisses my mum to no end. While my dad doesn't even give a damn, since exams are done and dusted.
But at least my mum cares. No sarcasm here. She does. Really.
Not to say dad doesn't. He cares too. Just in a different way.
Okay well some people seem to have qualms about my tendency to place gaming above all else.
But its what brought me to what I am today man.
Where the hell do you think my English came from? Stacks of hardcore literature? No offense to avid readers, just that for me, books put me to sleep, except a distinct, and highly exceptional few.
And few means Really few.
Point is.
I learned my English from games.
Not all games.
Those games I used to refer to as being "thickly filled with dialogue"
which I later realise to be RPG games. Usually.
Conclusion:
Gaming > most other things.
Most LAH.
If I Ever (I stress IF, and EVER) get a lover then it'll be.......
hmm.........
Gaming = Lover
That seems a bit presumptuous...
I guess that would mean I Already have a lover!
And if you somehow, didn't get it (you should have...but lets not assume) I meant gaming IS my lover.
As if you haven't already noticed it.
So happy holidays to those who are on holidays.
Happy studying to those about to take SPM
Happy completing exam to A-level people who have yet to complete their AS/modules (CIE or EdExcel)
And happy gaming to any gamer enjoying His/Her games now.
See. I'm NOT sexist.
