A Great Day!

Time passes so fast when you're enjoying yourself...

This was a day to alleviate stress, to relax and laze around~

Woke up... 11am + liao... quick lunch and it's past noon.

Seeing the ideal weather (Bright sunny day), I decided to head down to the Swimming Complex. Haven't take a dip in such a long time... since the closure for renovation almost a year ago.

Wanted to "jio" SK one... but that "pang seh kia" (fly aeroplane kid) say he going gym. This is the 3rd time I kanna fly kite by him...

But nevermind, I can still enjoy myself. Went for a haircut first before heading down. This was my first trip there since the renovation, and I think it only re-opened in mid October. In fact, some facilities like the cafeteria and jacuzzi pool isn't even completed yet. They added a new gym facility as well. Cool~

Went to the library after that. Been ages since I last visit that place. Spent like an hour plus lazing around there... borrowed a couple of book. Will bring them for OD next time so I won't be bored to death. One of the thriller story sounds really good.

Intended to head home after that, but... since I'm there, I thought I'll look around Causeway Point. Haven't visit here for some time as well. And thank god I did!

I found the sequel to one of my favourite chinese PC game - Martial Kingdoms II! I played the first one way back in my Secondary days and enjoyed it a lot. Even though it was plagued with technical bugs and imbalances, I still love it due to its innovative concept and addictive gameplay. There is no other game on the market I know of that is even remotely similar to this.

I didn't knew the developers were working on a sequel. Today I visited the store and it was just there on the shelves! I brought it almost without any hesitation.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those interested, it's almost like a Tycoon game. I'm a great fan of chinese martial art novel/stories, and this game is a tycoon game resolving around that.

Basically, you start off as the leader of a Sect. You can use the pre-built and famous Shaolin, Wudang, Beggar Sect or Demon Cult, or create one from scratch. Of course the path to Wulin domination would be much easier if you pick a powerful Sect. From there, you will manage your resources (gold, wood, herbs, iron, etc), build facilities (training grounds, medical halls, cultivation chambers, etc), hone your skills (invent new 'wugong' and 'neigong') and impart them to your disciples.

You can participate in quests like eradicating local rogues to full scale attack on other sects. Ever want to see a huge Beggar Clan VS Wudang war? Or Shaolin Abbot 1v1 against the Demon King. You got it here. You'll cultivate your disciples and train them into 1st class pugilists (and killing machines) and transform your sect into a thriving hub of activity. The eventual goal is "Wulin domination"~ Wahahahaha... once I mastered LV10 of my "Xiang Long 18 Zhang" that is.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bleh I talked too much haha. I haven't really tried out "II" yet, but I hope it's a huge improvement over the first one. Was almost evening when I reached home~

I should clear some of the work first to get these off my back. (USMS) I don't want them coming back to haunt me when I dismount.

This is such a great day~

Final Fantasy XII

Finally... I started this game nearly 1 year ago, back when I was still on the Island. That time when I was still with Jason and Zhi Yang and company...

There are many factors why I took so long to complete it, but mainly because the story sucks. It is not compelling enough for me to carry on. So basically I took a lot of breaks in between (especially when the torturous schedule kicks in in around June)

Finally completed it on 29th October, Monday! Here are my thoughts...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First, I'm very weary when I'm giving a negative review to a high profile game, especially one of the Final Fantasy caliber.

For games genre that I don't like, I usually won't conclude that "this game sucks" but would go with something like "it's not for everyone". That's the FPS genre I'm talking about.

But RPGs are like my territory. I grew up playing RPGs and I've played more than enough to see say that I've seen them all - from the good to the bad to the ugly.

And for a reputable game like Final Fantasy XII... this is one of the worst RPG I've ever played. And definitely the worst Final Fantasy. And this is coming from a fan who has played every Final Fantasy.

The good things: Awesome, beautiful graphics.

The bad things: Too many to list. Here, I'll extract quotes from various reviews on Gamefaqs which I agree with 100%. Most of it come from this guy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. "the sidequests in this game is immense, but awful. Most sidequest really does not make any sense. It feels like the developers just think of a random reason to put them in there. For example, there is this guy proposing marriage to this air stewardess. She wants to refuse him but doesn't know how. So they made a bet. If you, a total stranger, who just met them about 30 seconds ago, can deliver a letter to her six other sisters, then she'll refuse his proposal. WHAT THE HELL? Does any of that make any sense to you?" (Awful Sidequests)

2. "Most bosses can wipe your esper out with one single attack or two. So you basically summon your esper, watch the cool animation, and watch it get owned." (Imbalance gameplay)

3. "Difficult games are fine, within reason. It can be difficult, but it has to make sense...there are numerous battles in the game that you are unable to use attack, magic, or items. That is the cheapest way to make the game difficult..." (Ridiculous Battles)

4. "some characters' backstories are ridiculous; and their main reason for joining the party slowly decays. After the first hour, they're radiating with their persona, expressing whatever made them join you in your quest with every chance they get. Then.....they forget what they're fighting for. It goes from a cliche revenge story to a bizzare family fun adventure." (Story with no depth and development)

5. " I think Square-Enix has this idea that it doesn't matter what the gameplay is like, just as long as the gamer gets a lot of playing time, then he/she will enjoy it. This would explain why some games have pointless boring times where you run around doing the exact same thing over and over. Now, some games get away with this because they do it sparingly…the problem with FFXII is that THAT IS THE GAME." (Extremely repetitive gameplay)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For myself, the game starts with a decent story and awesome opening. It illustrates the political struggles between countries. The premise sounds great, but the actual plot is terrible. However, hours into the games, the story weighs less and less. In the end, we don't really care what is going on with the story anymore, we just keep pressing the X button to skip the dialogues. The plot is so terrible as it goes absolutely nowhere, and there are no depth nor development to speak of.

Even the main protagonist has no motivation on the quest. He's just like "Yeah, sure let's go" towards the end. And another character, Penelo, is there because she "wants to follow him". It makes no sense whatsoever.

I've spent 90 gameplay hours on this game, one of the longest RPG I've ever played. But it really sucks to the core. You do the same thing over and over again...

And the ultimate concluding statement I wholeheartedly agree with...

"RPG is like a movie, things have to make sense in order for us to enjoy it. We assume the role of the characters, we have to care for them. When we lose our motivation to further advance, it is the moment that the game failed. FFXII has failed in almost every aspect except for graphics. It is shallow, boring, and pretensive. It is evident that those game developers got lazy halfway and just start putting random stuffs together."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Spoilers) FF XII Story:

Vann brother is killed and he wants to avenge him. During a quest, he met the Sky Pirate Balthier and Fran. His ambition is to be a Sky Pirate, so he joins him on his quest, and his childhood friend "Penelo" wants to follow him along. After a while, they met Princess Ashe and the war traitor Basch who are on the escape from the empire. Baltheir decides to help them in return for fortune, so everyone joins the Princess. Together, they start on a quest against the empire.

After that, it's 70 hours of travelling the world, escaping from the empire and chasing after some stones with godly powers instilled inside. The stones must not fall into the hands of the empire

Final part, they still failed. Venat, the emperor of the empire got the stone and became a godly monster. The empire waged war. The only way is to kill Venat. During the first empire battle, the party sneaks into Venat "flying fortress" and slay him. Peace is returned after the emperor falls and everyone lives happily ever after.

- The End -

I wasn't kidding. The gist of the story is like that.

And that's it~ Basically I think I got about 70% correct? Haha... only thing I screw up are the entire popularity awards... didn't expected S.H.E to win that one in Taiwan with Farenheit. And I definitely didn't expect Eason to win best performing Male...

And one more thing... Sun Yan Zi definitely shouldn't have won the Best Album of the Year award... I mean, 逆光 to me is like one of her "suckiest" album ever. Almost all the songs sucks except a few. And it's not just me, most people I know tell me that. I think she volunteered to drop out of the Best Local Artiste competition to get this award.

About the awards overall, I don't like how they give out a dozens of the same awards and give that "ranking order doesn't count" crap. It totally lowers the prestige of the award. And it is very "throw face"... 4 winners out of 7 nominated in the Best Newcomer. And they had to give out 2 awards for the Best Band.

Sleep Deprivation III

Haiz... originally thought Wednesday last OD liao... then friday can take off and go on leave...

没想到人算不如天算

In the end had to do one more on Friday and of course it eats into my weekend leave... what to do. Suck thumb...

Anyway, the friday OD is really a killer. I don't know why for some reason I was extremely lethargic and exhausted throughout. I think it's partly of the mouth ulcers which are killing me and the extreme "sian-ness"... Then in a very bad mood...like a walking zombie throughout... don't know how I manage to last until morning.

Morning... something bad happens. Let's just say...

"Choo got burnt by the CD Burner."

This is the 2nd accident I've witness in my "career" liao... very scary. I was on the other side washing until I heard a loud scream. Then I ran over and everything is so chaotic. Luckily Jansen was there to pin down the CD Burner...

Hope he's fine. I'm really tired... till the point that I'm actually experiencing headaches. My mother keeps telling me to stop having late nights, but I don't know how I can explain to her that's impossible for me to do so.

I need a good rest~

This is one of the break I've been looking forward to in the longest time.

The ship is sinking...

We used to be aboard the grandest and most luxurious ship of our time. Let's call it the Kikanic.

Life aboard was heavenly. Everyday was filled with joy and happiness... we never expected it to come to an end.

March 207, the Kikanic crashed into the Iceburg. The future looks glum for everyone, but we believed deep in our hearts that if we worked together, we would be able to repair the damages done, to savage the situation and restore it to its former glory...

However...

June 207... Davy Jones III, the most diabolical and nefarious monster in the ocean, summoned the Kraken upon the Kikanic. Again and again, for the months to come, it would wreck havoc on the liner. The bow is crushed, the stern are rip into shreds, the starboard is reduce to debris...

The future is looking glum...and It was at that time that the fate of ship would be decided...

Everything went into a downward spiral after that. The captain, whom all the passengers had pin their hope on, abandoned the wrecked vessel and fled. In he middle of the night, he hopped on to his speedy craft to the faraway lands in search of greater fortunes.

All left are the poor passengers to fend for themselves. We have injuries everywhere. Available treatment are scarce, food is low and everyone is dying. We have tried to take up shields and defend ourselves - But against the supreme power of the Satan, all resistance and will be futile.

Weeks passed, but we never recovered. The ship fate is inevitable - the bottom of the ocean. The ship is still moving forward, but it is also moving downward...

And now, Davy Jones is returning on his Black Pearl, hailing legions of undead zombies to send us to the depths of the sea...

There are 2 choices now for the passengers to make...

1. Abandon the Ship

This is easier to say then it is to do, although a handful has manage to accomplish this great feat. You need to be either very rich to be able to afford a speedboat, or you got a float to keep you from drowning once you jump off.

2. Hang On...

As mentioned, the ship is still moving forward. But it would be months, like 10 more months, before the ship reaches the land. Will we still be alive when the ship finally dock? Or will Kikanic be in the abyss of the ocean?

Same Old Life...

Free time, I'm still doing what I've always been doing. Still the same old games, still the same old hobbies and still the same things that I've been following.

DOTA: After nearly 5 years I'm still playing this on a regular basis. Been a member for 2 years liao, and the "OYA" clan now is but a shadow of its past. Last time we would have in-house almost every night and it would be a huge blast~

Later on, Bear (Chief) and Punny went overseas to Thailand and everything went downhill. The Jiangs family kicked out a lot of people (like silver and jordan, accusing them of maphack) after they took over, although they eventually lost trace as well. The throne was passed down to Neko later on who barely logged on. The members, army one go army, school one go school and the number of gatherings dropped drastically.

Nevertheles, I'm still a proud loyal member of the clan with people like Senbo, Shota, Keonky, Halo. Still keeping in touch with Silvercrest and Jordan. I've also met some great clans like "nlgz", "1dos", "dev" and playing games with them whenever I got the chance. And of course I've got people like Charleston, Rex, Wei Hao and Jia Yun playing...

Other Games: Still playing Civilization 4 BTS occasionally, especially with the recent release of 3.13 patch. Still on the impossible quest to complete FF12 after nearly 1 year of playing. I'm almost there but not quite... I want to get into more games but I'm reluctant at the same time. Looking into COH Opposing Fronts and the World Of Conflict recommended by Glenn san...

WWE: Haha... this is my all time hobby I guess, been watching it since I was a kid. Even though the storylines get lamer and lamer... (Hornswoggle being Vince's son) This is still a great way to pass time.

Comics: I've less into this nowadays... probably cause a lot of my favourite series has ended. At my best time (Secondary days) I can spend up about $40 - $50 per month on these, but now I'm only collecting TCZ21.

Frankly speaking, it is not that fantastic. The pace is way too slow. We're into the 18 volume already and there isn't even one "true, great, complete match". Every battle ends abruptly with people running away halfway or faking death... It gets tiring. I guess the only reason I'm still collecting it is a bit of nostalgia from the 2 prequels...

That's about it. At home I'm either glued to my computer or glued to my bed. On the net I'll dig up previous episodes of Jacky Wu's variety and have a good laugh for 2 hours. Or I'll visit the usual Gamespy, Gamefaqs, Hardware-zone, SHEA sites. Or I'll pop up mo-fun zone and play a random game for 1/2 hour... maybe visit Kennysia or Mr Brown blog sites to see if they've got any comedic entries. And of course check out the music forum for any hot stuffs~

It's quite a 'routine', but it's a good way to pass time.

Well...

Nothing much le...

I guess typing all these is also a good way to pass time.

Check out this lame video... I like the tamil guy twist portion...

Promotion to LCP...

It's not that I care that much... but there are indeed some pros and cons that come with it.

The pros is of course you stand a better chance of getting favorable conditions when doing OD... wahahaha...

The con is when thing screws up, the highest ranking will get most of the blame...

Anyway, promotion to LCP is a generally good thing. At least I didn't get promoted to a LCB - like many others do (hopefully). Heh... More LCBs = More Troubles.

Well... life is really unpredictable. Today was one of the most ironic of them all. All this originated from Yun Zhen. Quite some time ago, he called me telling me to share his burden of one 'processing' since he kanna 2 this month.

Out of kindness, I agreed. One for each of us. Later, I found out that in the end he didn't kanna any! It was taken away from him! What the hell... cheated my feelings.

So I want to ask him take back the one he gave me, but he refused... that LC... nevermind...

I was negotiating with him whole morning, until the "WG" thing came. He told me that if I kanna the "WG", he will help me do the 'processing'. LOL... then I really strike lottery... -_- (which resulted in me having to reach camp by 7am on Monday...)

Later that day... 4.40pm liao... Was watching videos with Benjamin... then suddenly realized it was time to go home. Just as we were stepping out of the mass... Paran blocked the doorway... and let out the bad news -_-

Long story short, Yun Zhen was darn lucky that he helped me do my 'processing', else I think he'll be standing under the starry skies at this time. LOL... my condelenses to Benjamin...

天有不测风云, 人有旦夕祸福...

Don't take it too hard...

Sleep Deprivation II

Haiz... finally... completed my 11 OD In A Row. Gosh... nearly breakdown -_- ...

4 at the end of September. 7 in the beginning of Oct. Total: 11.

So basically it's 22 days of "OD , Rest, OD , Rest, OD, Rest"...

OD means spending about 30 hours working, without sleep. So, what you expect? On the rest day = sleep whole day. It's hell man...

Just imagine: One day you totally can't sleep. The other day you sleep for 14 hours. Often I wake up aching all over and feeling giddy. Sometimes really feel like killing someone...

(Just Kidding...)

Anyway, at least the main bulk of OD are over by now. Oh by the way, the last one should be inducted into the Hall of Fame... Up lah... 强中自有强中手

These few weeks really in depression mode. So stressed up both physically and mentally. Sometimes I think I'm having emotion un-stability. The mood can go from peak to rock bottom in an instant... I need a break lah...

Note: Sorry for some of the events which I'm unable to attend. Most of them probably falls on my OD day... Even if it falls on my rest day I'm really too tired to make it.

Women's Language

Extracted from "Net Buzz" on 12 Oct 2007 Newpaper:

1) That's Okay - This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's Okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

2) Thanks - A woman is thanking you. Do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome.

3) Whatever - Is a women's way of saying "I hate you".

4) Don't worry about it. I got it. - Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself.

This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" The woman will then say, "Nothing."

5) Nothing - This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes.

A Bad Person

"You are a sick, vile, twisted, corrupt, depraved, immoral, decrepit, senile, nasty son of a *****."

Don't understand WTF he is thinking. He thinks he is right in whatever he do. Whenever possible, avoid talking or even coming into contact with him.

He is so fake it makes people feel sick. He acts like he's buddy buddy with everyone but contineously and repeatedly stabs people. Everything he only know how to talk only, and deprive the people of joy they deserved. The people are the one doing the work and you just talk like everything is so perfect, so easy. **** off lah.

It's easy to sense that everyone just acts friendly with him, but in fact dislikes him. They have no choice but to do so.

This is so disappointing. When you are in power, people have to suck up to you. How can we be so pretentious to someone we hate so much? Everyone talks bad about him behind his back. Don't feel sad for him.

Hunting For A Memory Device...

It dawn on me when I was randomly browsing IT gadgets...Then saw those digital cameras and camcorders for sale...

Thinking about it, I've never owned (To be more accurate, my family never did) a camera in my life. All the photos I've taken so far are by others, be it relatives or friends or random photographers.

Gatherings, graduation ceremonies, parties, outings, visit to shows and events, get-together, the list goes on and on. I don't even have a record of them.

Aside from a couple of childhood 'pics', I almost didn't have any photos of myself from like 8 years old onwards... to about 16 years old. It's like totally blank. It's a white piece of paper. OK, I did have those yearly class photos where they got some random guy to take... and you had to pay $8 for it. But that's about it.

Go on to Poly also the same: had one class photo... and one graduation photo. Full stop.

LOL... so pathetic leh... say out also throw face. Recently want to find some old photos also like digging grave...

The only "device" I have to find back the past are the memories buried deep in my head. Bits and pieces, very vague and jumbled up. I can't even remember clearly the faces or places that I've spent years with and in.

So that brings me to my point (To tell the truth, it's just justification for me to spend) - I want to buy a digital camera!

I think it's perhaps one of the biggest regret in my life. Didn't get a camera earlier... and didn't start writing a diary sooner - else I would have like 10 years of photos and stories to read through by now... Haha... the feeling would be song I think. If only I could turn back the clock...

Hey wait. Thinking about it, I wouldn't ever want to turn back the clock. Cause that means I have to undergo another 1 year of shit which I just went through... Not worth it lah...

Humph Humph... anyway~

It's NEVER TOO LATE TO START!

I've sort of begin doing a little bit of 'research' into this. Picked out a few viable choices that are within my budget.

Basically, I want one that's portable and compact and easy to use. Don't need to be too 'chim' cause I'm not some professional photographer anyway. I don't need some horrifically advanced features. Best is if it has exceptional zoom... so can take pictures of my princesses even when they're far away~

Now just look look only... most probably will 'hoot' one at Sitex 2007~

The Bunk Move...

Finally shifting our bunks, leaving the original beds we've been sleeping for more than half a year...

When we were doing area- cleaning, an idea suddenly struck me... We were kind of running low on rags (布 'Bu'), so I asked if anyone wants. They said "yes!".

I say if you want cloth, you can get it from "布拉格广场"...

我就站在布拉格黄昏的广场~

LOL! Damn funny this joke I think... my platoon mates want to whack me liao. Haha...

And one more - why is it you don't have with be scared when you're with Wei Qi and Wei Hao...?

Because... " Wei~ Wei~ 不要怕~~~你是好娃娃。。。"

Liew... super lame.

2 Opposing Worlds...

Do you believe that sometimes, 2 persons can never become true friends? What I am trying to say here is 2 persons from 2 conflicting backgrounds, or their stance/position is just directly against each other. (Either single or both sided)

One more thing which makes a big difference is the order of whether they know each other before they are separated into this "conflicting factions" thing.

Sounds complicated, I know... so let me state an example. One that is more obvious - the classic Police and Thief.

Obviously, they can never truly become friends. A police will definitely not befriend a thief. But, if let's say the 2 persons know each other and are good buddy buddy for very long already, until one turn into a thief and the other into a police. It'll be an entirely different situation...

Anyway, the above example is too extreme. A more possible case would be like a employer and his workers, a superior and his subordinates...

No matter how "friend friend" they become, they will never become true friends. That means they'll hide some matters from each other, or they'll only put in effort if it doesn't threaten their own interests. It is sort of a bit unavoidable, because they are in conflicting positions. A benefit to one side would be a hindrance to the other side. (E.G: Increase pay for workers -> loss for the employer)

That is my opinion for certain cases (not the above one actually, but it's one example I can think of). And that's my opinion for now at least.

I really don't like to think it this way but so far, this is what I have experience so far. It is unavoidable... I call this kind of a friend, a "Conflicting Friend". Be careful of what secrets you share with him... It might come back to haunt you one day.

The only time you should share them, is when you 2 are no longer in conflicting positions. (You or him quit the company or something)

But there's one twist to this: If you 2 are already friends before you become get into conflicting positions, then the end results will be very different from this.

What does everyone think?

Sleep Deprivation

Heh...the feeling is so "song" when you know that when a certain group of people are busy doing TriGene, you're at home shaking.

Hahaha...

Shaking leg I mean.

Been so busy the past one week, and I'll have 2 more crazy weeks coming up... (7 in a Row?!)

I'm having irregular sleeping hours everyday. Some days I can sleep straight for 14 hours and on other days I only get to sleep 14 minutes. It's crazy I tell you...

And the quality of the sleep matters a lot as well. Sometimes I have to sleep on wooden blocks, or simply sleep while resting head on the table...Sometimes I have to force myself to sleep while enduring the crazy noise of mad animals. Sometimes I fall asleep in fear that something bad will occur...

Haiz... bottom line,nothing compare to the comfort of home~ My "springy" bed, comfy pillow~ And of course the Air Con...

Haiz... I'm really sleepy nowadays...

Lots of thing I want to write about... some other time bah...
