Happy Chinese New Year!

2009-01-26T13:26:00.003+08:00

As the blog title says it. A new year of the ox. Next its gonna be snake. I'm gonna make fun of my sis often soon, hahaha. Well, I wish everyone reading to have a prosperous year ahead. Any difficulties or hardships faced we will go for it. Hope everyone have a wonderful year. Although I still very seldom post on my blog, huhu!

I was sad.

2008-12-26T16:21:00.005+08:00

Hi and I'm very deeply sorry for my late or 'no' posts at all. To all my dear readers, a thousand of apologies. My bad. Lately busy with the short semester and also test and events to handle, its quite a task to give myself at least a little bit of relaxation of watching movies, series and some anime.

What I would like to talk about now is mostly about my spoilt hard disk (HD). I'm very particular about this. All my pictures since secondary school till today were all gone. I'm sad. I lost all my data on pictures and some video clips of my favorite artiste from Japan, gone. My >50GB songs, bye bye. As I had backup earlier before I sent my HD for RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization), it was all ok when it came back. I gladly move back all the files into the HD. As soon as the next morning, the HD were slow in detecting my files as if it were corrupt. Holy shit then it happen that I couldn't even read my files at all. "Thats it." I said. I was late for class already and all my precius files were stuck in there. I was moody to class. Came back, no choice but to go again for RMA. I was furious and emotional. No matter what, I want my files back. It took me nearly one year to collect such files and stuffs that are rare. Only such were such. SHIT! I'm stuck in a dilemma for 2 days. My friends tried to help, but those files couldn't be read already. Its like gone forever. My only backup at my external HD were deleted. Bad luck. Now I'm working myself tight searching back what was lost. I tried my best, but I'm too busy and most of my time were devoted to something else. I'll try to allocate some time for this, but all the things that I searched back will not be 100% found. Good luck to me.

Singapore Motorshow 2008

2008-10-12T12:23:00.008+08:00

Finally, my first time ever going overseas, or other country. Well, Singapore is still over the sea right? Purpose of visit is to visit the Singapore Motorshow 2008. Never expect that to be fun enough.
Me and my housemates went there together. The whole trip was tiring and fun. We originally planned to go on Saturday, but then changed the plan and chose Sunday instead. Took a bus from Malacca on Friday noon. Reach my housemate, Alex's house first. Detour->

The infamous 'Rambahdaiko' of Kampung Rambah aka Alex.

Peaceful enough.

"Alex, you sure this is your house?", said Jesmond.

Do you know that when you knock on the woods of the pillars, the fishes actually came around!

As if I believed my own eyes, Alex's house was like a mini-resort to me. It was definitely not a 'house'. Trust me.

And then on Saturday when Alex brought us out to JB for some sight-seeing. Gosh I was so first timer for that. We went to JB to find our another housemate, Ryan. Then we all hang out around JB and went back at night.

Couldn't get enough sleep that night. Woke up at 6am something, take some breakfast and at around 7.30am, we're off to the 'Kastam' (the Customs).
First stop in Singapore was Kranji. Where we head to Suntec City for the motorshow. Hard to say this, but MRT (Mass Railway System) sure beats our Malaysian LRT (Light Railway Transit). The Singaporean's MRT was effective. It was sure to reach almost everywhere in Singapore.
And when we reached Suntec City, it was awesome to see it first time. Well, when i see it the second time, it might be boring, haha.

Fountain of Wealth.

It was high enough.

Posing under the shinning sun.

S2000.

If I had those, I'll be changing my rims every month.

Raaawwrr...

My dad won't approve this.

Gotcha, Ryan!

Gimme.

Every boy's dream, GTR-35.

Every boy's dream.

Too much vinyls. But great art.

An artist's masterpiece. Great hands.

This would be the heart.

Scenario picture.

When I was just to start learning how to take photographs properly.

Marina Bay Street Circuit.

The crew of the circuit.

The Singapore Motorshow 2008 was no more than very few. Only some giant constructers companies and no Western cars around. Mainly because of F1 event in Singapore and also there were more than 20 events were held on Sunday itself in Singapore. Sigh!

It was then we were lucky enough to see the circuit of F1 that day. I was hoping to see the F1 from here but no luck. Other friends wanted to go back early, so can't spectate much. But! We did saw some drives drive thru around the circuit. Half-lucky me.

When we reached back Malaysia, we head back to Ryan's house for a bump. The next morning we're heading back Malacca.

It was sure a tiring weekend, but worth it.

Short Quotes

Golf @ Ayer Keroh Country Club (AKCC)

2008-09-06T12:41:00.004+08:00

It was a nice morning Saturday. Medium sunlight and some clouds above our heads for shed. Cool and calm wind. We tee-off at around 8am. I'm with the first flight to go. Only 2 flights that day. It was a friendly match, stableford system. Each flight only 3 golfers. Not many people joining that day.
It was back to basis when its been such a long time since I last played golf. my swing got back a few days ago, but my mental fitness for the course was awful. I can say the first-nine was totally the worst comeback ever I've ever had. But then, on the second-nine was ok for me. Get myself pump and my swing did all the work. Relax and swing, that's it. During the second-nine, a heavy poured down on us. We waited but it turned more worst. Heavy rain. Then the siren rang from the club house. We had to get back to the club house as at the condition, we couldn't continue our game. We stop for around half an hour then back to golf.
After the game, we had lunch will all other commitees together. It was my first time joining a society of golfers other than my dad's friends. It was a great experience. It shall be. Coming up, going to plan for a closed golf tournament for MMU. Proposals, here I come.

Freaking Weeks

2008-08-13T18:40:00.002+08:00

It is going to be a freaking hell of 2-3 weeks till early September. 3 assignments on the run. 4 mid-term test coming on me. It was pure 'luck'. Still have to go on for the activities. As schedule, this weekend will have a friendly golf match between committee and members in MMU Golf Club. Just a friendly, not so serious big event. As for next week is the Novice Cup in MMU, badminton of course. The date had to be pulled earlier since the coming September is the fasting month for the Muslims. So, had to gear up with all the things coming down on me. Have to sort things out properly. Gonna be a busy week with an "exhausted joyful body".

4th Leg of My-NPL @ Dataran Pahlawan, Melaka.

2008-08-07T15:12:00.008+08:00

It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning when we went to the venue of the event. A day which we will never forget, young and brave 6 men prepare to show their guts on the field. Though, we lose (haha, spoiler). Ok, here is what so great on that day. We reach late, a bit but we are on the next game when we started to settle down our stuffs and equipments. Boy, that was quick. We hurried ourselves to the field and prepare for the game. As one of our frontman MIA, Atook, I took his place instead. It was easy, frontman, just rush thru a few front bunkers and slide into the snake side of the field. Never judge what they say deemed easy when you really get a taste of it. It was tremendously fun. I sprint thru a bunker and superman-slide down the snake side of the field. I was hit on the first game. Lucky me, it hit on my google(face-mask), near my skull. Phew. Second game, I was lucky to see thru the pellets that were coming to me and finally, i managed to slide into one of the front-snake bunkers safely. Played a few shots, got hit, out I go. Well the rest of the game came on right. On the third game, we try a few link-up sides. We swap our center with one of the backman. It went out an awesome fight. Acap was out first thing the game start. I was out later on, after I successfully secured my safety in the front bunker. We got that game into our hands. It was pretty awesome.

Now, something went awfully wrong to me on the 4th game. Suck big time. I sprint and reach the front bunker safely and toyed around with my mirror(means the backman in front of me). I was so calmed and focused to shoot around and make them shoot me, its like i'm the kambing(goat) here. Everything were so nice until most of my mates were out when i tried to look around for more options. I was darned late, someone shot me from behind while i was lying down. Marshal called me out but suddenly, the guy in front of me came in and bunker me while I was taking my hand up to my head to show that I'm dead. WTF, I was blantly shot at almost point-blank range, with an e-marker. Shit that was a pain in the ass...err, I mean hand. Fuck you bastard! The marshal even came on close to put him away. I was already counted out but that fucking bastard still shot me with the marshall caliing me out that time. My left hand were up my head to show I'm dead. He shot directly to my head, which I luckily covered with my left hand. You fucking bastard, aiming for the head will do you good? I was lucky and not angered at the moment because of my numb hand. I forgot to bring my golves, which was really 'suey'(chinese words meaning bad luck). My hand bleed and after I took off my jersey, I found out he shoot twice into my hand.

I didn't take any pics after the shot, which is bleeding that time. No think. My bad but those who were at the scene saw that, it was awesome I tell ya'. With becoming the frontman for the event, not even used to it yet, my whole body were in pieces. Pain. Nothing to complain for that.
___________________________________________________________________

That night itself also, something happen. I don't know why, but, I'm determined to help my housemate. Me, my housemates and some friends went out for dinner around 9pm. After that dinner and on the way back, one of my housemate's hp rang up. And here is the problem, one of his friend is in the middle of somewhere in Klang because she ran out of the house after breaking-up with her boyfriend. Apparently, she called my housemate, Ryan, for help. From what I heard from Ryan earlier, the girl is crying when she called him. It was a sad case. It was 10.45pm at that moment and it struck something to my head that, a girl, alone in Klang area, it is night time and that place is not safe for a girl alone in the dark. Ryan was searching for friend's car to borrow to go and pick her up at Klang. "It will be late then", I told Ryan. I pity him and the condition now and straight offered help.

Firstly, I knew that anything could happen to a girl alone out there, especially Klang area. So, I called up Alan, whom knew some Klang friends over there and ask for his help. After explaining everything to him, he was shock and quickly called up his friend in Klang. Alan's friend, Alex, from Klang, listen to the problem and quickly went out searching for her, given her phone number to him. I was preparing on my way up to Subang to fetch her. The plan was like this, I planned this out with Alan. Alan will go fetch her back to Subang, once Alex found her and I was to go to Subang with Ryan and another housemate, Louis, to fetch her back to Malacca. (Louis was only accompanying us)

Within 1 hour from the call, Alex found her and she is safely with someone. She smsed Ryan and told him that she is inside our friends car. We give a huge sigh and I drive to Subang all the way, speeding. When I entered the KLIA highway, Alan gave a call to me and said there are in Subang already. It was a relief when we knew that she is safe. Alan told me something but I just drag it until we meet on later. We reach Subang at around 1am. Ryan went in to get the girl out and I was chatting with Alan. Alan told that the girl is quite tough. Her face's expression was dark and emo. When she came out, she just muttered some words and say hi. Well, at least she is safe, I thought.

We went for a drink where in the end Ryan treat us all for the drink.Ryan tried to open her up to chat with us but she is not that friendly. On the way back, my whole body was aching, because ealier this morning I'm playing paintball. Not enough sleep too. I was deeply exhausted on the way back to Malacca. The girl slept all the way from Subang till Malacca. When we reached back to Malacca, we were really tired out from the long distance and wound up at night looking at the highway and street lights. She came down from the car and went straight back to her place. Wow, now that is amazing. Not a word of thanks or even a bye from her. She just woke up and there she goes. I'm not sarcastic or what but, at least a thanks or bye will be alright for all the people that help you out. I was a bit down and not so happy with her attitude. Ryan and Louis were also shocked with her attitude. Well, what to do, she is so down and emo now. Don't care about her much, at least she is safe now.

One thing cross my mind that eventhough she didn't thanked us, including Alan and Alex too, we saved a human being from danger. Thats what friends are for. Now that she is safe, we don't care much about it. We've done a good deed. We're ok.

On behalf of Ryan, to Alan and Alex, thank you for your help. Wait, what about Jesmond.....?

It was a hell of a experience and I'd tell ya', its gotta be legen......wait for it......dary!

The next day morning, I could make it to my team's game. I was so sorry to my manager and team leader and also the rest of the teammates. I'm sorry. But, what I heard from them that I already miss something great. They fought against Ronin Lunacy. Our best friends in paintball. It was a great game they said, eventhough Ronin Lunacy won the game. Congratulations to Ronin Lunacy for getting 2nd place in Div3 @ Malacca event!

A Sturdy Semester and A Weak Body To Face It.

2008-07-29T10:27:00.002+08:00

Let's just say, I'm tired, weak and exhausted. What could you do when you are in a condition like this? Nothing more than study, games, watching series every night, sports and what else? It was like hell i'll tell ya'. Just finished my mid-term exam in the morning just now, which I couldn't agree more to the next one at tomorrow evening. Damn right. Again, 2 straight test on 2 consecutive days. It was like having sex with the subjects that I'm now very tired and exhausted from it. Wow, now that's something.
__________________________________________________________________

This weekend will be the 4th leg of MY-NPL which will be held in Dataran Pahlawan, Malacca. Don't miss it if you guys are around Malacca on 2nd and 3rd of August. Come and watch it live.
_________________________________________________________________

Another thing not to miss, I'm back to wushu training every Sunday and Tuesday night. Tuesday near midnight, badminton training. Probably Thursday nights on the driving range. Hmm, seems like i'm back in golf. Yup, its true. I can sense my dad is a bit proud i'm back in to this game since i've stop for almost 2 years.
_________________________________________________________________

Its gonna be a hell-of-a-week!

The New Semester

2008-07-15T07:43:00.003+08:00

Well, the new semester seems busy again. With 7 subjects to cover up. Its heavy. Very, heavy. I got no choice since i missed some subjects last year. So, i'll have to finish 'em up. Every now and then, i've miss a lot of activities during last semester. This semester, i've made a promise to myself that i'll not miss those activities unless exams or meetings are on the way. I've miss a lot and now i had to cover back up everything. Wushu training at night on Sundays and Tuesdays. Badminton with friends. More time with my computer also, since a lot of animes, dramas and movies are waiting for me. For now, this is it.

And here it goes.

2008-06-08T20:23:00.030+08:00

All right, back to my hometown on Saturday evening. Ate dinner with sis. Then go out 'yumcha' with friends. So, normal. Then my plan with my 2 brothers to go trip was on the coming Wednesday. I drive. Confirmed. And so, the day came. ________________________________________________________________ [[Summarized trip story]]

-Wednesday-
Morning, slow drive to Seremban then lunch at there. Reach Subang Jaya [SJ] around 3pm in the evening. Checked in and rest. Dinner with bros, sis and some Alan's friends. 'Yumcha'. Midnight go hotel hunting. The hotel that we stayed only allow us 1 night. Means tomorrow is fully booked. ________________________________________________________________ -Thursday-

Woke up and packed things. Drive to next hotel for check in. Holiday Villa Subang. Expensive. Afternoon go walk at Sunway Pyramid. Bought swimming attire and goggles. Also expensive. 'Yumcha'. Night go dinner at Ah Woon's working place. Made In Kitchen, 'nice' name, 'nice' price. Expensive, not full, but worth every dollar for the taste. Night go badminton at Neway. 'Nice' court, 'nice' price. Fucking expensive for 2 hours. 'Yumcha'. Back hotel, take bath, sleep. ________________________________________________________________ -Friday-

Woke up and breakfast at hotel. Eat full full because need to drive to Genting Highlands later. Afternoon after lunch, next destination, Genting Highlands. Nice slow trip up the hill, suddenly rain, canot open window, damn fucked up. Nevermind, straight go. checked in, then go swimming above the skies. Very nice. We are lucky to get in here. Not many can come in. Swim, jacuzzi, sauna, bath then went out. Dinner then walk walk outside. Saw lots of nice car. Back room, chit chat with brothers while heating our feet in the bath tub with hot water. Nice sleep after that.

Big room.

Actually, nice view.

Toilet at there

Oh, entrance. Nice.

Wow.

Hmm, nobody here. Maybe today off. Cheh!

Huh? 5 feet? You sure?

Wow, nothing to say. Although looked like ordinary pools.

Where my camera fly to?

Aha!

My dear friends, you should try swim there.

You should really come here.

For once, you should really try come here.

Aiya, lazy hold camera.

Really nice.

Erm...not bad.

Very long I tell you. No lie.

Gan, Alan and me

________________________________________________________________ -Saturday-

________________________________________________________________
-Sunday-
Checked out and then go down to (I think is Mushroom Town) lunch. After lunch, go Chinese temple. Very nice. Go walk walk around. Then slow drive back to Subang, drop Alan there. Dinner at Subang with brothers and sis. Back to Bahau after that. Lots of car, we saw. Reach home 10pm something, unpack, bath, play comp, sleep.

Ok, one bag at a time. Don't rush.

Do you know? At carpark also can take picture.

Mushroom Boyz.

Cannot read. Show sad face.

3 Generals of All Time.

Yup. Really can become Generals already.

Don't have much time already. Fast take pic.

3 brothers at the pathway to Heaven. Is it?

Still got flies up here? They sure damn strong.

Last pic for the gang. Band of Brothers.

Usually, at Genting Highlands, teenagers at our age, went out with their girlfriends or friends, go around and walk around and do nothing particularly and also play around the entertainment centre. We are different this time. We enjoyed our time there where we could never had a chance to do so. We are not gamblers and I can't enter to the casino yet. We felt great and experienced what we never do before in our teenager life. To swim at there? To be treated like you are the boss or CEO? Look, I felt it before. Just that card that enables us to be there. It was great.
Overall, I'm happy with the trip. Which we had planned earlier. What a nice plan we had. Just after 2 days we came back from the trip, the fuel price went up. Lucky.

5 down, 2 more to go.

2008-05-20T16:36:00.002+08:00

Finally, 2 more subjects to go, and i got to tell ya, that this last 2 subjects are really mind-blasting ones. Both also included and need to use the assistant in numbers and figures 'The Calculator'. Yeap. 5 subjects down, and now, holidays are to come. You can just imagine the feel of 'Holiday' itself. Updates for this blog and latest 'wrongdoings' and 'happenings' will come.

Here.

2008-05-08T14:35:00.002+08:00

Ahak, sorry for the long drag. Its near to my finals and i'm of course preparing for it. Too busy and lazy lately to update. Now, I found some peace and quite time for myself to update.
_________________________________________________________________

Congratulations to Laloque for winning the Nescafe Kickstart. His teachings and advises for out team Outrecs Jr. indeed is very valuable. All the best in your future business ventures.
_________________________________________________________________

A sad and disappointing result in our 2nd paintball event @ Kuantan. We won only 3 games out of 8 games, and guess what, would you expect that we are qualified to quaterfinals? Hell we know 'bout it. Heck we really know 'bout it. WTF! Who would guess that with only 3 wins and you are qualified for it. We didn't show up and because of that, we were heavily bombard by our seniors. 'This is a disgrace', somewhat in the sense they put the words into, 'memalukan nama team'. We all knew it was our fault but humans do make mistakes. without mistakes, we, human won't improve much either. No one is perfect. Its a mistake now but not in the future. Thanks for the advises that our seniors gave us on that day, we will make the best out of it.
_________________________________________________________________

Alan's birthday party were held on the 19th last month. We were all so buck up for his birthday that quite a number of his friends show up that day, some didn't. He was disappointed but overall, happy. Me and some of his close friends bought him a set of dumbells. We all knew that he goes and loves gym and build up a nice body.

Its been long enough

2008-04-08T07:53:00.004+08:00

Its been since March that I published any posts. Sorry to dear readers that I couldn't update my blog much enough to satisfy blog-readers. In such, I do had some very good excuses for this. For this month, last semester, 1st year degree, my hands are well stuffed with tutorials, assignments and classes to attend to. Not to forget, activities and back-to-hometown-trip, these are all well managed under my brain for the month. Hey look. I need sometime to chill out, ok?
___________________________________________________________________

I'm so fucked up that I couldn't get the pictures from the Nescafe Kickstart Paintball Challenge. Damn good I learned myself a lesson. But anyways, I'm still chasing the series upfront.

Oh well, at least I showed some proof.
___________________________________________________________________

And then this beautiful April comes in with most of us forgetting that April Fool's day is a very enjoying day for all of us. I still remember, one of my coursemate, Ivan, wuahahahaha. Sorry for the laugh but its really funny that your coursemate try to trick someone for that day and some eventually really fall for it. Some didn't, me of course.
I remembered that I trick him for the last class of the day. It was 5pm and we're heading to the class. Ivan still playing around with his not so funny jokes. Its ok. I laughed my ass out for some of 'em. When we're getting our seats at the back, I sit behind Ivan. Ivan puts his bag and chat a little with some other girls in class, and when he wants to sit down, I said in such a quick and serious manner, "Hey wait. There's something.". He quickly turned around because afraid that his ass hit on something on the chair. When he looked at the chair, I said normally, "April Fool. Haha, gotcha'.". He muttered some bad words to me which I heard but not other girls. What a day. I need only one shot. Since he 'tried' to trick me a few times. Even our other friends gave a huge laugh. A very good last laugh. [Sorry Ivan if I really pissed you off in here. I know you can beat me in other things. Maybe someday, not today, someday.]

Nescafe Kickstart Paintball Challenge

2008-03-19T13:03:00.004+08:00

Shit. Thats the first word i muttered when i get prepared for my first game on Sunday, 17th. I forgot to bring my camera. Damn. What a waste. No pictures for now during the game. Have to get it from one of the guys who took out team's pictures during in game. Have to wait for it. Anyway, part of us are glad that the camera is filming us. Yes. Its Nescafe Kickstart from TV3. Wow. What a chance. Since there is no pictures of it now, i would suggest you guys to watch TV3 every Sunday, 11am. It would show any events that they have filmed. Don't know when it will be out but i'll be watching it every damn Sunday.

We all did our best and congratulations to team Raptor as the 1st Runner-up for this event. Our team must improve loads more from now on. At least we finished in top 8.

Best shot ever...on that day.

We must field a total of 5 players in our rooster for each game. For D3, we are playing 8 preliminarie games before commencing to quater-finals. Only top 16 teams will make it to quater-finals. In this event, our team couldn't make it, we only won 3 out of 8. Although we didn't reach quaters, we still had a great time enjoying the game and all the fun in shooting paintballs during in game.

Mid players are adaptable, versatile, and patient. They perform whatever function is necessary for the team to advance through the game. If a front player is eliminated at the beginning of a game, center player will try to take that place. When a back player is eliminated and leaves a blind spot on the field, a mid can fall back, if necessary, and take up that command position, or command from the bunker they currently occupy. Mid players also perform the vital function of a relay system late in the game. A front player who has progressed far down the field cannot hear his back. Mids will relay information between the two, so that the front player is not effectively blind. A mid player may also shut down a lane from a position farther down the field, where a back player does not have the correct angle. Alternatively, mid players can also accompany a front player to a critical position, to up the odds of it being held successfully.

A centerman's attitude on the field should be cool, confident, and calculating. In his position he can see more of the field (and thus the enemy) than any other position on the field. This also means that more of the enemy can see him. He needs to stay focused and relay positions to teammates while watching for opportunities to take.

---also as center back---

The back player who takes the centermost position on the field is akin to a chess player or football coach who is stuck in the middle of the game. The back player filters information between left and right, and has a direct line of sight to both sides of the field. This player will let everyone know who is supposed to be doing what, setting up objectives for the other back players, and by association, the front players those back players are tending, as well as firing large amounts of paint across the field.

---Speedball frontman---

A front player's task is to perform the major movements and eliminations on the field during a speedball game. As the name suggests, this places the front man far forward on the speedball field, compared to the other positions. Front players stay low, firing comparatively little and making heavy use of snap shooting. Because of this, they rely very heavily on the rest of the team to provide them with developments across the field. Front players and back players are very closely related, and in some cases, a back player will be assigned to communicate with and cover a front player when the latter is in a critical position or attempting to maneuver. Front players should know how to slide flawlessly to lower their center of gravity and keep a low profile.

---Speedball backman---

Back players are the eyes and support fire of the team. At the rear of the field, they are afforded a fairly unobstructed view of the action, and constantly communicate with the rest of the team. It is the back player's job to coordinate and move the front players down the field while denying the opposing front player's movement. These different goals cause rear players to use their markers in a dramatically different way than a front player, utilizing a near constant stream of paint to shut down movement paths, called lanes, for opposing front players. This same tactic is used against specific bunkers to force a player to tuck in, allowing a front player to move.

[[ the infos were taken from wikipedia ]]

Well, my role as backman mostly suit me the best. The one who is shouting pin-points and enemy whereabouts. Spamming the most paints all the time linning or keeping the enemy in its bunker. I liked it. We don't have a lot of photos that are taken during game but i'll try to upload some in next post.

Renew Hobby

2008-02-21T07:14:00.002+08:00

One of my lately renew hobby since last year. Model kits. I started assembling them, a few, last year around March and April. These are called Gundam Model Kits. There are a wide range of 'em. It range from a few series such as Gundam Wings to the now Gundam 00. An example of this is my ZGMF-1000/A1, Gunner Zaku Warrior, pilot-Lunamaria Hawke, ZAFT fighter pilot in the series Gundam Seed Destiny. It took me 2 days to finish this baby. I had been a crazy maniac fan for mono-eyed mechas. This is my first 1/100 scale Gundam model kit. The first ones I'd assemble is 1/144 scales. I'm going to try on MG [Master Grade] range , which these models have much more flexibility in their joints.

During CNY

2008-02-19T21:39:00.002+08:00

I'm late. Been busy these few days. Now i'm free, a while because I'm very tired after a marathon of 6 hours class. Moreover, its in the afternoon. So lucky. Oh yeah, day 3 of CNY I went to some of my friends house. Visiting one by one and getting angpows each house. Nah...I don't care much bout angpows, its the friends that gathered back after a whole long year studying and some working from different places. Whew. Met back some secondary school friends, thats cool.

Taken at Justin's house, after we all watch his guitar performance that night

What Justin named her ' Kelly'

Also we visited Justin, whom I call God of Guitar at my 'hometown', Godlike born intelligence and somewhat a funny guy with funny jokes. HAHA. Then I end the night around 4am in the morning playing mahjong with my ex-classmates.

Paintballz gigs

2008-01-24T12:19:00.000+08:00

For my sudden love of this sport, i spend for my life.

V-Force Profiler

'kachang'---> RM300

Why is it called a face mask? Because this thing only covers your face, not the whole head. For the safety purposes of the game [paintball] a face mask is needed. This protects your face from being shot at. I heard that, if the pellet hits any part of your face, fatal or blind in the eye. The force of pellets that are shot out are incredibly fast and dangerous. Of course, if it hits any part of out body, its still ok because out body can withstand that force. So, a simple advice to anyone who wants to start playing this game, play it safe!

Wushu

2007-12-18T14:55:00.000+08:00

At first look at the word 'wushu', for Chinese people, it meant something. Martial arts. That's it. Think of wushu, you will get a rough idea of Jet Li aka Wong Fei Hong, fights, kung-fu, self-defence mechanisms, into the world of danger or even worse, gangsterism. Well, I didn't mean to bring offence but its true in the old days. Skip. Back here. I'm into this martial art since last year. Its been a year I've learned the art and nature of wushu. For our generation now, wushu in competition is for performing combination of moves, jumps, kicks and punches perfectly. The art relies mostly on the perfection of our combos in a go which cost much stamina and stability. Not to forget, flexibility of our body, mostly focus on hips and legs, where our moves can be executed perfectly. Although I find it difficult for the first time but with interest to learn and motivation driving, I kept it on as on of my healthy lifestyle physically. I didn't take tai-chi...well. Also, I've learned some self-defence moves in advance some vulnerable part of the body. Which is dangerous and also lethal if my move were executed correctly. Well, I didn't intend to knock my rivals or enemies though...just for my good, weapon, defensive style. Up till now, I've learned a few kinds of punches [bare hands style] and took up 1 kind of weapon, spear. which is long and hard to coordinate, at first. For now I'm on the basics of spear. Not into moves yet. There are many kinds of weapons practiced by my friends, such as, broad sword[tao], sword[jian], spear[qiang], staff[gun], dagger[pi-shou] and many more.

Paintballz

2007-12-06T12:53:00.000+08:00

One of my interest lately. Paintball. One word describes all. Seems like familiar to you? Its very exciting and adrenaline rush game. Some sort of like extreme games. Can go into extend of getting bruises and paintball's mark on your body. First join in one of the competition organize by MY-NPL which you can know more about it from http://www.my-npl.org/. Its the 3rd leg which is held at Padang Pahlawan, Malacca. We join in as Division 4, which is the lowest rank of players among 4 divisions, where Division 1 is the highest one. It is a 5 vs 5 match, overall score of 4 match played accumulated. Which if among the teams that entered the team gained a placing either above 16 or 8 (depends on number of team), will get to advance for the next game for quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals. Well my team was unable to get into quarter-finals, despite that, we are still glad that we had found a new game which we could really enjoy. Another game was held at Cyberjaya and we entered. We wanted to play so much, that we played seriously this time. We managed to get into the quarter-finals but lose after that. Its ok. We're all happy that we improve a lot from last time. Next was the 4th and last leg of MY-NPL which is held at Padang Astaka, Petaling Jaya. We managed to get into quarter-finals and the semi-finals. Lose during semi-finals. We are really happy that we made even this far this time. We really did improve a lot. There is one game which is held at my campus, MMU. During this time I couldn't make the cut because need to go back to my hometown. My team including my manager in total of 6 persons, played for the team. I was shock to know that our team got 3rd placing. I'm so happy that they played so well and won (even 3rd would make the cut) in the tournament. It was great.
