Boom de Ah Da

I just have to make this post. Ever since the first time I heard this ad from the Discovery Channel (I Love MythBusters!!) , the song has pretty much gotten stuck in my head. It really does cheer people up even though the lyrics and even the rhythm is really simple. Here's the ad, "I Love The World".



Boom de Ah da, Boom de Ah Da !!!

Out with the old, In with the new

After yesterday, I am no more a freshman and in another two weeks time, the beginning of the sophomore year and also the final semester here in Malasia. I have been admitted to the University of Nebraska Lincoln and this has made me felt much more relax during my final exams. Time pass really fast sadly. I don't really wanna go to the States yet. I feel sad that I have to leave all the people I love just in order to get a piece of paper.........which will indefinitely affect my future somehow.

Also about the finals, what would I say about it. Harder than I had thought, which means I am screwed in someway. CGPA is gonna plunge down below 3.8 I think. I dunno whether if it was because I was slacking too much or I had pick the wrong subject for this semester (Take for instance, ENL102, dearly beloved .... son of a b*tch). None of the exams were in any way easy, and I have quickly accepted the fact that this is the worst semester for me. Have to do better in my next sem since most of the subject are stuff that I can actually relate to. Calculus 3, Physics 1 and C programming.

Next moving on right after the exam yesterday, I went shopping with my gf at Sunway Pyramid. It felt really good that I have nothing to worry about and just being able to spend time with her is a great way to start off the holiday. We went for a movie "Ah Long Pte. Ltd." and I must say I really think it is a movie worth watching and for those who have yet to watch it, you should really go to a cinema near you and catch it before they stop showing it.



Also, yesterday I finally got a copy of Call of Duty 4 for the PS3. I had always worry that the controller will not be an effective tool for a first person shooter type of game but I was obviously wrong to think so. It did not have the accuracy that we can attain via a mouse and keyboard but the auto aim mechanism have provided a slight handicap for us on the PS3. I had to admit getting use to the controls was no walk in the park. I had to play the game for about half an hour to an hour before I was able to stop my habit of throwing a grenade in an attempt to sprint. If I had the mood, I would probably write a review on this game.

All in all, even though my break has already started, I am still not feeling any holiday hype, at least not today. Wish the feeling would come soon before my break ends. There are a lot of thing that I really want to do but two weeks is really a bit too short. As the saying goes, beggars cannot be choosers. That's all for today. Bye Bye

On second thought

Maybe I will just post something simple. Calculus was bloody tough, probably no A+ but I think A will still be attainable. Sad though, was working really hard for it the past few days. Anyways this cheered me up even though I do not play Halo.

Metal Gear Altair

Seems like somebody ended up in the wrong game.... or is he?

Dead Fantasy

Just a quickie.... No time to write on my blog, but felt like updating. Enjoy this two clips filled with cool chiqs fighting scenes [ Nothing 18sx here ]

Gimme a break----- literally, i need one

Yes, I know it has been forever since I have written a decent post. Unlike Ben, I can't blog about anything and everything. Maybe that is why he is doing journalism and I am not. =P

This has been one heck of a week once more. 6 days of class including today's Calculus 2 replacement class. The day started out with all my daily routine over and over again. Sometime I can't help but feel dejavu-ish that every single day I am doing the same thing repeatedly. I forgot today is a Saturday, and well I left home at about the same time I usually do but reached at about 7 am. 1 hour before my class started, I almost felt like slapping the back of my head as I could have slept for an extra half an hour today. Class was alright and surprisingly I did not feel tired at all although I have only been sleeping for 6-7 hours per day for the past week.

To think that I only have one day off tomorrow, (and even then I have to study for next week's Micro test) is really sad and depressing. I can foresee already what I will be doing for the next couple of weeks and well it just adds to the already solemn mood in me. I forgot whether it was during this week (or maybe last week) that my application to Wichita State University is accepted. I would say they are very efficient unlike the other 2. Talking about the others, the admission office at UNL is having a slight problem with my application. Apparently, they need a Statement of Support from me that has the values return in but I am quite sure that I have written in all the necessary info for them before sending it. Troublesome lar~ The University of Wisconsin- Madison on the other hand is the one which has no updates or whatsoever on my application. Till date, I have only received one email from them. Whats even more annoying is that they actually sent it to my alternate email address instead of my preferred one. =.="

Besides studies, this week I did not really have much activities. The only time I spent with my girlfriend, besides the time sending her back from her University, is probably going to the Tian Hou Gong Temple yesterday. My girlfriend wanted to go pray and ask about some stuff so I naturally accompanied her and at the same time prayed together-gether. It is kinda ironic though as I usually do not go to the temple besides during the Chinese New Year, but I only went there the day after CNY officially ended. I am unsure of whether I have been to that place or not, I've heard of the place numerous time but have no fond memory of ever being there.

Let's see what else, err yeah, Game Developer's Conference was recently held, one of those big events in the gaming industry. A number of sequels were announced and quite a number of it are actually games that I have finished playing. Gears of War 2 definitely pique my interest, although the teaser trailer was just showing off Marcus Fenix vs-ing a Locust, what is more important is the fact that they will be chainsaw counter in the sequel (I hate it when the one getting chainsawed is my character instead). One word, "Awesome". In the tech demo we can see that there is an upgrade to what the engine could do and all. The environment are destructible, the water ripples like it is supposed to, and the blob of ........what the, MEAT?!? jiggles like its suppose to?? Sadly, for now the game is only announced for the 360 (XBOX)





Other game sequels announced are like Portal 2, the game with the AI which IMO is not that good in persuading a person. "THE CAKE IS A LIE!" or maybe not. The concept behind the gameplay is really creative and also unique. Something which is very rare in the gaming world right now. The part I love the most about the game is probably the credits, the AI actually sang the song. LoL, here's the video clip. P.S. If you have the time go look up its lyrics.



Okie, I'm bored of writing my post already. Time to stop now. *Yawns*

Crysis- Koreans, Aliens.... and now water gun fights......

Just posting this because I am too lazy to write an entire post.



Here is a trailer of some guy messing with the Crysis engine. This trailer actually made me giggle like a 3 year old.

Bill Gate is The Funny

I LoL-ed at this. What would you do if you were a billionaire? Make a video like this, of course. = )

Rest-less

Read the title properly, I am actually having a lack of sleep, and not actually having problem sleeping. Starting classes at 8 in the morning is really taking a toll on my lazy ass body, which is not a good thing. Mainly because, I can stone all day long just staring into blank space, or I will be unable to pay attention in class. Worse yet, this is only the 2nd day of the semester. Next week and the following weeks after, I will have to wake up at 6 am every single weekday. 0.o

Also, today's Microecons seems okie but the lecturer mentioned something about being really tough to score A and such. I personally still kinda doubt that would happen since it is a reading subject and all, but since I have no background in business (besides principle of accounting), I can't really say much can I?

For ENL102, it was kinda the same thing also. A- is probably the best I can do in it even though this is just the 1st class. A is impossible in my case, I would have to upgrade my vocab by a lot, which is just not possible within 3/4 months. So, I have kinda decided to drop that sub and go for another. I am still considering either Politic,History of America, or General Physics 1. I will just have to see whether the classes are already full tomorrow. I also need to get everything done by tomorrow because there will still be no extra charges for switching courses, as tomorrow is the deadline.

Also, applying to the Universities is really making me really moody as it is tough to choose from so many of them. I have spent the past two days looking for more Universities, and it seems like the more I look, the more options come into my pool of choices. I seriously have to find some way to narrow all this down, and hopefully get something like a maximum of 5 Unis to apply to. There is just so much to do, and it seems to grow by the day. Stressed out already on the 2nd day of the semester, must find some way to direct all the stress towards. Even that is another task yet to be done, I can't seem to even power up my PSP or double click on one of them icons on my desktop. All this stress is really causing me to lose any mood to game even. Darn you, tertiary!!!

Regarding the application the Unis also, I am still quite worried about another factor, which is the transcript from Alif. I f**king regretted doing an Art course, and it's because of that that my application might not be evaluated at my true potential. I only got a freaking 3.0 CGPA at Alif which really makes it hard for me to apply to those better Universities. I know I kinda screwed up my education in that 1 year time and really nothing can be done about it.
Darn you, freaking stupid results from ALIF!!

After ranting everything out (or in this case, typing it out), it really does feel a bit better and I guess theres nothing better to do but to face this cruel reality. Ending this post with something funny which I found today while surfing the net.


Baby Hiccup - Funny video clips are a click away

Important Gaming Post

Okie this is probably the first, not even half an hour after I have written the first post, I am already working on the 2nd. Okie less talk more stuff to see for urself why this is so the "must share" news.

First look at this video clip.


Next, look at this bundle.

Okie good. Thats all for this post. If you are a true gamer, you will salivate over the video and next you will wish to take your wallet out and start saving up for that very very tempting PS3 bundle.

Wii Makes Dog Horny

After looking at the video, I guess I know why so many people are giving the Wii as a gift for somebody else....Enjoy =D

Irony

I'm talking about my college transcript, just when I was planning to go to college to get it one of these days, the enveloped which contain my transcript was delivered to my house just this afternoon. At least that save me a trip of going to college or does it? I would still have to go register for the next semester's subjects that I am going to be taking. About the results, I got an A+ for Intro to Psych, but sadly my American History subject has a "W' ( which stands for a withdraw) beside it. Well, I just have to do better next semester. I am actually quite happy because my results were better than what I had expected.

Moving on, my family will be leaving for Vietnam tomorrow morning (way, way early in the morning) to go on vacation and leave me home alone to rust. Okie maybe I was the one who has chosen not to go. Vietnam gives me a feeling that it is really boring and I know better than to go on a boring trip. I wish my parents would pick a better vacation location. Every year its either China, China, or if we are lucky somewhere not China (but still within South East Asia). I wish they would go to places such as US or Europe. Bah, they are so unadventurous. =X

On a side note, since my girlfriend is free now, I can just spend that entire family vacation time with her instead.* Happy face* =D. We already have plans for tomorrow but still do not know where we will be going, but probably to that new shopping center, Pavilion. No idea how to get there but I have a car and the petrol, so that means its' time to explore. Finally I have some time to pak toh after a very very dreadful and long month.

Lastly, one of my favorite topics, Games. Crysis is awesome, its not like any other first person shooter mainly because you have to use your brains instead of just blindly rushing into a camp and go trigger happy. I spent some time with it, and found myself dying 90% of the time if I did just that. Rather you have to make use of what your nano-suits can do. I just love it when you switch to another mode and they say " Maximum Speed" or "Maximum Armor". One thing which sets this game apart from others, is physics and realism. For example, when your sight is blocked by some leaves on a coconut tree or something. Just shoot it and the leaf will actually react as though it is being shot at. What's more, if you shoot the trunk of that coconut tree long enough, the thing will come crashing down on your enemies or perhaps even yourself depending on where you stand. Everything in the game reacts to you just the way it should. Tyres of jeeps will go kaboom if you shoot at it. All these comes at a price though of course. Crysis is a system killer, because regardless of how recent you have bought your PC. It is impossible to achieve the best graphic settings, unless you are filthy rich and can afford the best of the best hardwares. Go take a look at the price of a stick of DDR3 RAM. Be amazed. For those who are still unconvinced just look at this.

Shopping

Went to Midvalley to "hang gai" for a while today. Mom and sis wanted to get some clothes before they go on vacation next week to Vietnam. Since my Dad wasn't home, I had to send them there. I actually calculated the time we left our home and by time I reached home. It was exactly 3 hours... 3 hours including the trip there and back. I don't think anyone can go for a shopping trip any shorter than that ( at least not for girls). Well, even for that short period of time only, it was really dreadful since I had nothing to buy and I was just the driver today. I constantly looked at the time past, but every minute seem to be a bloody hour. It wasn't fun. My brother and I, just walked around aimlessly just window shopping for a bit and eventually end up in MPH where we also did the same. Time seems to past really slowly when I am not shopping with my girlfriend instead.

I miss going out with her a lot. Even before her SPM started we had not been going out much. All that is about to end though. Her final exam is on next Monday (actually it should be the week after but her Chinese does not require much preparation), and hopefully after that we can have some time out together before she leaves for NS. Noooooooooo! NS! why ler choose her? I'm gonna be so lonely for the next semester. Emo @.@

Since that is the case I might be considering taking 5 subjects next semester but I am not even sure if there are any classes (which is actually related to my major) that will be available for me to do so. Life stinks =D.

Okie the above video is of Russell Peter, he is one funny ass comedian. My friends recommended it to me way earlier before this and I just thought that I would share it with you guys. More of his videos on Youtube.

P.S. Look for the one about the Chinese and Indians.

Just for laughs

I know I said I wont be updating my blog till my exam is over, but I'm just so tired of all the studying. So another random post. Enjoy!

Devil May Cry 4

Here's a new trailer of Devil May Cry 4 which is scheduled to be release next February. Simply looks amazing, mouth watering even.

Halo 3 FTW

Okie, if you guys had been visiting my blog ever since it was "born". Some of you might have seen the video clip of a certain potty-mouth master chief who ironically, sucks really badly at Halo 3 Beta. Well guess what, here's a sequel to that and looks like some1 has not change his habit of cursing at every other gamer. Enjoy =D



Besides that, today Jeng Yue and Wai Hong came over to visit me. We had a couple of matches of Battlefield 2 but it was not really tat fun because they constantly got disconnected from my server. There must be some bug in the game.

Besides that, Kok Hoong has finally gotten himself a PSP. Cool, now I can have someone to play with when I am at US. He is currently indulging in his all time favorite game(I think) Ratchet and Clank.

[EDIT] I just checked up on my previous post and notice that I did not post the video clip titled "Master Chief Sucks at Halo 3 Beta" sorry my bad but here it is.

Random post !

yes this is exactly what you should do to your XBox 360 if you suck at Halo 3.... bravo, R-TARD!

Mid Autumn Festival

Happy Mooncake Festival to all, hope everyone has had their fair share of mooncake for the year. I personally always look forward to this day (mainly cause I like mooncakes XD) and Chinese New Year (ain't it obvious ? five letter word, starts with a M and ends with a Y). Unfortunately this year, I did not go out and celebrate and instead I had to work on my l@me history project. What a nice way to celebrate. For the readers, leave some comments on what you did tonight, in the chatbox if you will.

While browsing through some website, I found this video clip and just had to post it up. I love the song and the game even more. Anyone knows what the song name is?

Tokyo Game Show:- Day 1

Hey, I might not be in Japan but thanks to Gamespot , I am constantly being updated with the latest news. Probably one of the bigger news in this year's TGS is the new PS3 controller which is fitted with the rumble feature which was a key trait of the previous DualShock2 controller for the PS2. Some games like Metal Gear Solid 4 will be using the force feedback feature to make games more realistic.

Speaking of MGS4, a new trailer has been released. This time featuring more new characters and a couple of brief scenes with characters from the previous games. Here's the video clip of that trailer.



This year's TGS will last for 4 days instead of the usual 3 days event from the previous years. This would probably mean that more news will be announced for all gaming consoles. Of course, I will be listing the "juicier" news in my later posts.

Okie while writing today's post, I suddenly came up to this interesting news "Kingdom Hearts game for the PSP", another reason why I should cherish my PSP more. Shouting like a lil girl in my mind right now. XD

I swear, once I have the money and ability to travel around the world, I would be visiting these gaming conventions annually. E3, Leipzig, and TGS just to name a few.

Also, Bleach 141 has been released on Wednesday, and I've just watched it today afternoon. Not giving out too much spoiler but it basically talks about Orihime Inoue before she is "escorted" to Hueco Mundo. No cool fights in this episode though.

N00bs or Newbs?

Okie today ima gonna shed some light on the two words (more commonly used by gamers) in my title. For those, who didn't know they actually have different meaning. Noobs are more suited for people who are new but always think that they are much better than others, are ignorant of the fact that they suck, does not wish to change for the better. Whereas Newbs are refering to people who are new and strive hard to become better.

So, for those of you who are curious as to why I am giving a language class all of a sudden. It's because I want to relate those words to the two lecturers which I have for this semester. One is a Noob and one is a newb. Well, my Psych teacher is one that sucks at teaching and when god-knows-who complain about her way of teaching. She did not obviously show any signs of discontent but us, students could feel that someone became pissed off although she said stuff like "I'm glad you voice out your comment bla bla~"

Whereas another is a noob History of America teacher, he explained to us that he had no experienced teaching the subject and this really made me feel like saying "Holy S**t" cause the textbook would need years to decipher at my level of English and if the lecturer is no good, I'm in deep trouble.

So, well that's life I guess, no use depending on those lecturers. And oh yeah the latter, postponed class today, without informing anybody. Like what a fag? There's a quiz tomorrow for Psy105. Boring .......

Here's a comic on what I had explained earlier.


And here's a flash clip on what our school life would be like if it is a Final Fantasy game.
